Thank you Vasi Thanks so much So we have two presentations down in the web three theme and two ahead right next up we have someone Revolutionizing the education to employment journey for Gen Z and She also will line to us a bit how the future work will look like Please give a round of applause for to Esther from Hondo I Thank you very much for being here I originally came to slush to get really drunk and hang out with other people because we launched last week and now if I myself on stage So so here we go. I'm hoping that the guys in the back are gonna play this for me. Is this gonna work? Please never work. I'm Esther O'Callaghan without PowerPoint and I'm the founder of Hondo We set out to Tackle global youth and employment and the way that we decided to do that There we go finally Bear with me Let's roll that again. This is why I never ever use these things It's not gonna let me go back right a good job. I know what it is We've built the first on-chain learning platform for Gen Z to upskill for the future of work The reason for that is there are a billion new tech roles needed by 2030 Across not just web 3 and but also frontier tech space tech agritech medtech There's a very simple thing that everyone from startups investors and Society need and that is an upskilled workforce because without that you can't scale The education to employment journey is completely broken Covid exacerbated that you have the first digital native generation Who lost their jobs at three to five times the rate of every other age group? Companies need young talent and they need it now not just in the future What we've built is to get rid of the one pain point that everybody has And that's the CV It is possibly the most redundant piece of paper on the planet today It doesn't tell you anything about what a young person can do It doesn't tell you what their skills are that they've developed in their gaming life in their online lives in all other places So that's what we've built and that's why Why it needs to happen now Because that billion new tech roles isn't needed from 2030. It's by So it's needed from now To tomorrow and the day after that Where is it breaking down and how does web 3 change that? So as you saw from the video We're partnered with ready-player me and because we want young people to have a sovereign digital identity an avatar That's interoperable that they can take with them everywhere as Virtual and immersive worlds become the way that we all live work learn and learn and earn over the next century Why are we here today? Why are we here at such today? Because every single person in this room is a parent or an educator or an employer or a young person or a Start-up or a scale-up that needs a future talent workforce And that's what we want to bring Not just to slush and but to the world Because that billion new jobs Well, it matters because we're facing all manner of Really really tough situations for young people and for society the cost of living Recession all of these things climate all of it There is a generation coming up behind mine my son's 18 They could change this they could change everything and that's why we built hundo and that's and that's and that's why we're here today How can you get involved? You do a few things You can go to hundo.xyz. Ah Look at that You can go to hundo.xyz. You can sign up. You can create your avatar. You can start to discover the future of learning and work because in 1950 When my mum was born She went through the same education system that my 18 year old in 2012 went to we need an absolute revolution In the employment and education sector and hundo is essentially building that bridge To achieve mass mainstream adoption You have to start in web 2 one of the biggest issues that we have at the moment in web 3 is Most of the people on the planet Don't know what it means and more specifically they shouldn't need to because We don't sit here talking about the fact that websites are built on AWS We just want users to have a really good experience when they land on our site So we we start in web 2 that's the platform that we launched last week It's an on-demand content stream that helps everybody and discover the future of learning and work And that's our team that's what we think the future of work looks like and because Right now even on social media We're all avatars. We all have a different LinkedIn profile to an Instagram profile and actually what we want is people to Not just learn and work, but to learn how to love learning and working in both a physical and a digital digital environment and so Thank you so much for for being here Please do come and talk to myself and my technical co-founder Please do sign up to hondo.xyz and see it all for yourself and I look forward to seeing you in the metaverse Thank you very much


In today's video, I'm celebrating three straight years of daily uploads by opening some of my favorite Yu-Gi-Oh products. What's up, guys? We're back with another daily opening. We've been doing this for the last three straight years. I've been either doing a video or a live stream. There was two times I did a short back in the very, very early days, but that doesn't usually count anymore. It's got to be a video. It's got to be alive. We've been doing that for three straight years on this day. So to celebrate that, I grabbed a few awesome products such as a Samurai Assault Special Edition. This has 10 special editions inside. You can get the Forbidden Yu-Gi-Oh card because of striking Eos in here. There's a lot of really fun. I just really like this product because there's a lot of different sets in here. There's three different sets, a lot of potential, like Ghost Raiders, you can get the Forbidden Yu-Gi-Oh card, of course, you can get some nice secret rares that are striking Eos. I really like opening this. And we're not just going to open one thing today because, you know, it's a three-year special. We're going to have a long video. Sit back, relax, grab your popcorn. We also have Judgment of the Light Deluxe Edition because, you know, Chickalotes got to have some of that on a special video. I also have a Clash of Rebellion Special Edition. We still have not pulled the Ghost Raider here. I love the Red-Eyes Flare Metal. It's one of my favorite Ghost Rares. So I really want to pull that.  Couldn't be a special without having Metal Raiders in it. We have at least one pack of that. We got some Maze. We got a couple of Ghosts from the past too. Then we've got some Old School, Lost Millennium, Power of the Dualist, Pharaoh's Servant, and Extreme Victory. We've opened up a few of these packs recently because I did pick up some of those. So I'm pretty excited for this video. It should be pretty long. So prepare for a long experience. Hopefully you guys like it. And we also have a giveaway. I'll be giving away a display of Ghosts from the past too. I don't have it out. So it'll pop up on the screen. Just like the video. Be subscribed to our notifications. Let me know down below. What's your favorite product we opened in this video? And what's your favorite video from the last three years of uploads? Okay, let's get to it. Let's start with the Clash of Rebellion Special Edition. We'll start off with that. And I want to mention, by the way, I am caught up on the giveaways. I've been doing, you know, we got behind because of the move to the new house and everything, but I caught up super happy. I mean, those stressed me out when I get way behind.  And there's a couple of super ears right, right in there. That's pretty nice. So go to the community tab. It's on my channel page.  Then you just go to one of the tabs. So it'll be video tab, community tab, all the different stuff. Go to the community tab and then see if you want anything. I announced them all there. So go back. You can even go back to before that last time. See if, because I've done one for like the last week and then won like 35 different winners. Romagard and we have Mr. Shell Dragon. So see if you want anything. Crystal Rose. Oh, and a Romej Rosemary started it off already with a nice pull. All right, good start to this three year special opening. I cannot believe it's been three years. Like it snuck on me this time. I was looking at the calendar, like planning out stuff. And then I realized, wait a second, that's the three year anniversary. I was like, I hadn't even thought of it. I was thinking we were like two and a half years, you know, not really that close. And then all of a sudden bam, we're at three year anniversary. It's pretty nuts that we have been going for that. Like we went before that, but like daily for three straight years. So shout out to everybody who's been watching the last three years, whether it's been three, two, one year, one day, whatever it is. Thank you guys, but especially you guys have been around that long. That's pretty amazing. Let me know in the comments if you are a three year watcher, you've been watching since then Ignite Lancer and we have super every samurai blow towards. Some people say they've watched every video, you know, recently or even ever, which I mean, I don't know if you guys, that's even possible because we have so many videos, but if you're even close, shout out to you guys. That is amazing support. I appreciate you guys.  It's been pretty, pretty fun. We have a camel up and we've achieved some pretty awesome goals. If you guys are at the whatnot stream the other day, you know what I'm talking about metal raiders. If you weren't at the whatnot stream the other day, don't worry, there will be plenty of other content made out of that. But yeah, we've achieved some big opening goals. We've achieved some goals, you know, for the channel, stuff like that. So it's been pretty cool. Neutrary, what's that mean again? Can't remember. We got Pale Beast, Ruxen 34. Wouldn't be, look, it wouldn't be an opening without opening some metal raiders, Angel Lazard Warrior, Bladefly and Beastro, but you're butchering the Beastro. Okay, I'm gonna get this judgment of light deluxe edition open as well. We've opened, I feel like we opened one of these the other day. I was able to pick up a few of these. I do like these because they have obviously judgment of the light packs, which has the Chickalot taste. How do you open this again? We're gonna finish off with the Samurai Assault Special Edition because, you know, that is just the absolute best product we have here today. And it's one of my favorite overall, like all of Yu-Gi-Oh! Just because of like Special Edition Randomness, all the different packs, you know, it's super fun. Which I've already said that in the intro, but I just wanna reiterate, I really like that set. Okay, we're gonna get this out of here. We're gonna get all our packs. We got some Promo, some sleeves, I think. And there's another pack trying to hide in there. You will be opened. You cannot escape me. Okay, what in the world is going on here? We got like, is this thing like moldy? What is this? Maybe not mold, it's dirty. It's just dirty. That is strange. I knew when I pulled this out, it felt a little gritty. I was like, what is going on with this? Turns out it's just a little gross. That is interesting. All right, so hopefully the packs are fine. We'll find out, I guess. Let's see. Promo pack right there. We've got, you know, some sleeves there aren't great, but I mean, I'm never gonna run out of sleeves at this point thanks to Magnificent Mavens. Literally never because I have literally hundreds of packs of sleeves. So I just use them to ship stuff and stuff like that. So yeah, at some point, yeah, it's just never gonna happen. So I'm hoping one day I can not have so many sleeves laying around, but it's kind of good, kind of bad because I never run out. The bad side is that they're everywhere. We have Mechavaniby's Co-Wing. We have Seraph Sage. You have Traptrix Vermelio. A vein betrayer, the betrayer of vein. All right, we're gonna like alternate between these and the other stack packs. Let me put these over here. Oh, I just grabbed two packs here. Mesa Malini. I grabbed a couple of these because, you know, Bonfire is still an expensive card. So why not grab a couple here? We have the, oh, oh yeah, it's fine. Wait, oh yeah, they're all rares. That's right. Some of these don't look like rares with the names for some reason. Try and go, oh, and a Photon Delta Wing. So we got something. It's always the Photon Delta Wing. It feels like, it's like, oh, we got something. It's just the Photon Delta Wing. So it's not that crazy. All right, let's try another one. Then we'll go back to Judgement of the Light. I can't wait to open the Samurai Soul.  I hope we pull, I have pulled, finally I have pulled the Forbidden Yu-Gi-Oh card, but it was not for myself. So there was still a goal for me to pull the Forbidden Yu-Gi-Oh card for myself, you know, like, so I can own it. Cause right now I don't actually own a Forbidden Yu-Gi-Oh card. I once had a PSA, no, twice had a PSA-9. Ended up selling those. PSA-9s, you know, if you don't pull them, they become easy to sell at some point.  You know, I got the memories and everything. But if you don't pull them, I didn't do the right pack trick here. This might be it. Okay, nevermind. Archfiend Emperor and Mecha Phantom. But yeah, if you don't pull them, you're like, well, I guess I can sell. It's not a PSA-10, you know? So then you end up selling it. So hopefully I can pull one and then I can, you know, send it in for grade would be fun, not necessarily, it doesn't really matter what it is. We have a super defense robot. We have a Bujinki Turtle. Googly Eyes, Drum Dragon, Star-Serve Sword. The Atmosphere. XC's Agent. Number, okay, I did something completely wrong there. Number 66, Master Key Beetle. That thing is warped. Yeah, they definitely, there was some sort of like storage issue with these because, you know, we saw the Dirt and Grime on the inside of it and then they're kind of warped. So that means like probably like the temperature they were in. It's not great. So kind of weird, but not the end of the world really. I mean, if it's warped, you can always just flatten it out. We have Burr from that. We have the Altergeist. DeSynchro, Phoenix Gear Freed. Not crazy. I did bring in some ghosts from the past too because why not? It'd be fun. Fun to pull a ghostry again. Blue Eyes, Dart and Magician, PSA-10, especially the Blue Eyes, PSA-10. That'd be nice. We have Visionary Bravido, Mothvec Edition and a False Warrior Skull Knight. I remember how hard that was to pull out of Armageddon. Let's try another one. We got some Mintage Packs to open today as well. Right before the Special Edition.  We have Doom King, we have Ghostric, Visionary Bravido. We have Mathmech and Sacred Waters in the sky. I remember that was actually a few bucks when it first came out. Now I think it's completely worthless. One, two, three is what we're gonna do. I really don't know. We have Umbra Horror. We have Bujingu Wall. Wall Rider. We have Seraph Scout. Calibri Tour. Brother of the Fireface Caribou. We have Umbra Horror Uniform. Brother of the Fireface Keerum. Gugli Eyes Drum Dragon. All right, the Gugli Eyes have returned. Gugl those eyes, everyone. Let's pull a Ghostrare right now. Here we go. One, two from the back. Ghostrare, anything would be great, but we're really looking for DMG, blue eyes, something like that. Okay, that is neither of those. Not a Ghostrare at all. Judgement of the Light. Another thing we have not seen out of Judgement of the Light. I'm just gonna throw this out there. Take a lot of taste. We haven't seen it. One, two. Oh, no, the back of that car. That corner is destroyed. We have Super Defense Robot. Star Seraph Sage. Shark Caesar. Bujinfidel. Super Defense Robot Elephant. Flying Sea. We have Bujinki Crane. Wait, why is the rare? They only do two? Why is the rare there? That's okay, I'm confused now. Lost Millennium First Edition. The other time I opened this recently, what video was that? We had the 50 Vintage Pack opening. We pulled three Ultimates out of 10 packs, so I don't think we're gonna pull anything today out of this, just based on that. Getting the Skull Servants is cool. We're probably not gonna have very good luck with the Ultimates, because we already pulled three of them. The Final Richer of the Ancients, Age of Gear Soldier, Gift of the Margers, Battery Charger, and, okay, Token Feastable. I was like, maybe, who knows? Not that time, let's try Jodl, Judgement of the Light. Oh, whoa, what am I doing? One, two, three. I think it's three, right? You know, I did two last time I remember now because I got distracted by the damaged corner. Shark Caesar. Swordschild. I don't think that's how you say that, but reversal, we have Underworld Fighting and Exceeds Revenge, Shuffle. Come on, Jodl. At least first set, I think they're unlimited, right? Yeah, they're unlimited. So unlimited Stardier would be cool. We still have not pulled Chikolates. That was the whole point of these. We should pull Chikolates, Intercept Tomatoes, a good one. I mean, I should probably pull that out because it's Intercept Tomatoes. I don't know how to say that. Swordschild, Mega Man and Beast, and, oh, yes! The Medulche, Chikolates, Chikolates. Let's go. First one pulled in quite a while. Last card, Magic. You'll love to see that. Oh no, I destroyed this pack. Oh well, TLM.  I might send in some of these commons, you know, like the Avians and stuff that they're sending. Monk Fighter, Miss Polymerization, Shifting Shadows. The Avian is really awesome. I mean, the Elemental Hero, Avian. It's an awesome artwork. I love it. We have Pristinitrix, same thing, and, okay. Like, look at these artworks. These are amazing. Since we're in, like, Hollow, they would be worth quite a bit. That is amazing. Let's keep going. Let's keep pulling. Let's get some awesome stuff. Three from the back. Let's get a Ghost Rare. We have Cheap Cheap Cheap. Seaward of Feds.  So maybe that means it's a foil. Who knows? I mean, all these cards are a little warped, but maybe they're more warped because of the foil. We're Shemped out. We have Brotherhood, and it was a foil. I called it. We have Quillen, not Krillin. Quillen. That thing is, it's pretty Pringly.  Power of the Dualist have not been good for us. Have not been good for us at all. We have had bad luck opening Power of the Dualist. One, two, three, four. We have Black Stago, Fake Hero, Crop Circles, Destiny or Defender, Crystal's Dolphin, The Paths of Destiny, Amulet's Rescue Roid, Contact, and Alien Warrior. All right, one more pack of Judgment of the Light. Here we go. Let's see if we can get a Ghost Rare Star Eater. One, two, three, Orchic Latte's would be nice. We have Junk later. Seize Reception, Trap Tricks, Neph-neph-neph-nip-nip-nip. Reverse Glasses, we have the Calibrator, Fishbord Archer, Archfiend Cavalry. Ooh, what a shape sister. I feel like I always pulled this one as well. Man, these are Pringly for sure. Pringlin' up. Okay, let's try another Power of the Dualist. These have been pretty rough for us. I think maybe we did pull an Aqua Neos recently, which was pretty good. We really want to get an Ulti, but we have been, it's been pretty rough trying to get Ultis out of here. Fake Hero, we have Black Stago, De-Spirit. Flying Saucer at Muscle, we have Air Neos. Elements are Hero Neos. Hopefully we get an Air Neos later. One of Grosh, Destiny Hero Dashers. So yeah, these look, they look pretty good. I mean, they don't look like they're sketch or anything, but we haven't had luck pulling anything. Pharaoh Servant, on the other hand. Yeah, last time was rough as well. So we're hoping that we can turn that around. Buster Blader would be amazing. I love that card. Even on the limited, it would be great. Thousand Eyes are Strict Bomb Barber. We have the Two-Headed Fire Dragon. This is a classic card for me. I really remember it. Gust, Insect Barrier. We've got Spike Bot, Four-Star Ladybug Ado, and the Mad Sword Beast. So it continues. Corners of these are all messed up, man. They're all messed up right out of the pack. Okay, let's try an Extreme Victory First Edition as well. We have, no, these have been good. We've been able to pull stuff. We pulled an Ultimate Rare Junk Berserker. No, this is the one I had to do this pack trick for. It was that one, not Judgment of the Life. Mechlord Armory of Skell, Red Scrap, or Red Carpet, there's Scrap Kong. Mechlord Army, Metal Seeker. TG1, we have Destruction, we have Brain Hazard. Oh, what a Secret Rare! Mechlord Emperor, Skell! I don't think this is a big money or anything, but it is a Secret Rare First Edition. We really want the Mystic Piper, because that card right now has gotten really expensive for some reason.  Let's open another one. Let's try it again. Give us your blessing with a Ghost Rare. We have not pulled the Ghost Rare Junk Berserker before. Let's add that to the list. We have Scrap Kong, TGSX-1, Psychic Reactor, ESP Amplifier, Mechlord Factory, Morph Tronic Landtron, Red Carpet, TG Rush Rhino, and Mechlord Army of Wizzell. Okay, four packs left before we get into the Samurai's Assault, which will give us a chance at the Forbidden Yu-Gi-Oh card that we have pulled once, but not for myself. Here we go, we have Gradius. We have Science Soldier, Driving Snow, Harpy's Brother, classic, Chain of Javelin, Overdrive, Solemn Wishes, Wingweaver, and we have Ayabusa Knight. The fair servant continues to let us down, not feeling too good about those. I'm trying to think if we pulled, I think we did pull an Imperial Order out of that batch at some point. So it's not like we haven't pulled anything ever, but it has been pretty rough in terms of like ratios. Aspergerl, no, Extreme Victory's been pretty good when it comes to ratios. Lancer Lynn, we're a Mechlord Army. We have the Resolute Mechlord Army. We even pulled a Secret Mechlord card earlier, Full House. Another Secret Psychic Shockwave. So we're getting a bunch of secrets. We're just not getting the secret that I'm looking for. Psychic Shockwave is a Genzo card though. Look at him in there. He is electrifying everyone. Okay, very awesome back-to-back secrets basically. I think it might've been two out of three, I'm not sure. Fair servant, I believe you can pull something. Come on, for the three year anniversary, just make it happen. One, two, three, four, let's go. We have Twin Headed Fire Dragon. We have Invitation to a Dark Sleep. Mystic Probe, Solomon's Law Book, The Eye of Truth. Regulation of Tribes, Skull Mariner, Cold Wave. Appropriate, eh. Oh, nevermind, there's only a rare. This is not Extreme Victory. So yeah, they continue to let us down, nevermind. Extreme Victory though. Two secrets out of only like a couple packs. So I don't expect too much from this pack, but maybe it has a ghost rare if we're lucky. Three, Slippity Flip. Let's see, Mech, Timed Blast, Catapult Dragon, Scarlet Security, Mokotun, Six Samurai, Resolute Mech, Lord Army, Axe Dragonhute, Cybe, Stan, Curricurry Ninja, MDL 7749, Nanashik. Nanashik, that sounds wrong for some reason, but that's what it says. Okay, we are on to the Samurais Assault. The big moment, I can't really show this very well on the screen, cause it is huge. We have 10 special editions in here. They all have one Strike and Eos pack, so we have 10 packs to open potentially for the Fabin Yu-Gi-Oh card. They also have, what is it? Man, what's it called? The one with Odin is called the Storm of Ragnarok. Yeah, and then there's one more set. What is it? I can't remember, but okay, what we're gonna do is I'm gonna pull all the packs out of here because going through these one at a time takes a really long time, so I'm gonna do that and I will be right back. All right, I have removed all 30 packs, which the third set that I could remember was Crimson Crisis. So we have not pulled that Red Dragon Archvene either. Then you get 10 Eldor of the Six Samurai. These are pretty warped as well. They came from different spots. So warping is just the thing that happens with the cards if you're not careful. But no big deal. Let's start opening. Let's see if we can pull something amazing to celebrate three years of uploads. I'm pretty excited. I wanna pull a Odin Ghost Share. We have pulled it before, but that does not make me not wanna pull it. There's also Max-C in here. Some really good options. Max-C is, I mean, everybody loves that card. Top runner, we have the Super Battle Droid running. We have CN's Daredevil and the Six Strike Triple Impact. So that is not an awesome start, but we can turn it around. This is special edition, so you never know the ratios.  We could pull like 25 foils, or we could pull like three. Hopefully it's 25. That'd be pretty amazing. That'd be a good way to celebrate. Three from the back. I don't know the exact pack trick here. So Traptor, actor, Wi-Fi, fake explosion, have revengeful sherbet. I don't know what I'm trying to say. Twin Sword Marauder, Raptor Wing Strike, Assault Slash, the big court MK2, and we're trying to go rusty engine. Okay, our first chance. We're gonna go, yeah, alternate between the three sets. So our first chance at the Elemental Hero Air Nios, the Forbidden Yu-Gi-Oh card. Here we go, one, two, three. I think you can do four on this one. Yep, looks like I'm right. Anti-Fusion Device, because it's 2007, so it's before rares and foils. Radiant Spirit, we have Grand Tactician of Dark World. Turn of the Six Samurai, Six Samurai Zanji, Six Samurai Yoriza, Umbral Soul, Advanced Ritual Art, and we have Twister. That is not it. The Twister is, sure, it's a tornado. Great. All right, that's only one special edition, but we did go over three. So it's not the best start ever. Hopefully you guys are enjoying this longer video. Hopefully you've been enjoying the videos for the last few years. If you are a new viewer, I have like 1500 plus videos, probably more like 1600, 1700 now. So if you have not seen those, go check them out, because there's some pretty good pulls along the way, and there's a bunch that like, I do like sometimes do top pulls and stuff like that. They don't make that, because sometimes I forget about them, you know? So there's some good stuff to see in there. If you have not seen it already, we've opened a lot of different products and a lot of different type of videos. So go give it a chance. Check it out, some older videos. We have Trojan, Letty to Beast, Dark Tanker, because here's the thing about these openings. They don't really like, you know, you can always watch an opening. Things that the prices may change in some ways, but the cards are always gonna stay the same. That's the cool part. So you can go back on watch those and maybe listen to like, oh, what was the market like back then? That's always kind of fun for me to do with some other people. Go check it out. If you haven't already, one, two, three, four. This is an air Nios potential. The ultra-intensivational. What did I just do? Ultimate rare. I did like a, I did five, I guess. Oh, what just happened?  Oh, that's why. No way. I just pulled it. Oh, we are pulling some amazing cards recently. Oh, talk about the way to celebrate three years. Me screwing up like normal and then pulling a card that I've never pulled for myself. I've never pulled the ulti for being Yu-Gi-Oh! card. I've pulled the ultra ones. Ultimate rare, air Nios. Unbelievable. I just bought this the other day. I wasn't even planning to do it for this video. I just bought this box and I was like, I like this. I like this. I guess it's not really a set, but I like this product. So I'm just gonna buy it and maybe we'll open it at some point. And oh my goodness. Was it worth it? Yeah, it was. Oh my goodness. Air Nios has been pulled.  That's still amazing. Oh my gosh, we did it. I can't believe that. Not only was it not the ulti or the ultra, it was the ulti air Nios. That, and guess what? I get to keep it. That is the best part about it. I love it. That is so fun. Is that our first foil? Is our first foil in the thing? Okay, well, you know what else is cool? It's completely random. We could pull another one. We could pull a Gosher. We could pull a Max-C. There's a lot of potential stuff. I can't believe we just pulled that. And an ultra ruxen special too. Oh my gosh, which if you are new to the channel, ultra ruxen special is when you do the pack trick and you put the foil to the front by accident. So we just did right there. That's the ultra ruxen special. The super ruxen special is where you move multiple cards. So like if I'm going for the foil like this and we move like two or three cards that wants right to the foil, that's the super ruxen special. The regular ruxen special is when you skip one extra card. Like if I was trying to pull one, I pull two, that's the ruxen special. So just to explain for you guys, we're like, what is he talking about? That is what we mean by that. So the ultra ruxen special is one of the worst ones you can do, because it completely ruins the pack, you know? We go right to the rare. But sometimes when you pull a great card, it's totally okay. And you know what? I always seem to ultra ruxen special when we pull good cards. I don't know what it is about that, maybe because the foils are easier to kind of like pull off there. And maybe, I don't know, maybe they just slide off easier. It's easier to ruxen special. Who knows? Twister, we have a secret rare. Radiant Jarrah. I've never seen this card in my life. Striken Eos. What is this secret rare? I have no idea. Okay, Radiant Jarrah. That artwork seems a little, I don't know, primitive maybe? I don't know. It's kind of, maybe not primitive, but simple, I guess. Like there's not a lot going on there. Okay, interesting. That is, that's pretty weird. But okay, we're now two for three with a secret and an ulte out of Striken Eos. That's the fun part about these special editions. One, two, three. We've got Scrap Shark. We've got Carcury Goldust. A Linge of Sholf. We have, wow, we have pulled, wow, we have pulled a mate. We've pulled a Blue Eyes White Dragon first edition. While I'm recording this, it was yesterday. For the last two days, I have been on fire when it comes to polls. That is amazing. We have Assault Mercenary, which that's a spoiler alert for a future video. So keep an eye out. The title and thumbnail are probably gonna spoil it for when we post the actual video of that poll because it was a live stream. A lot of you guys already know that I've posted on Instagram, stuff like that. So I'm not gonna bother with like not spoiling it in the title. We're probably just gonna say we finally did it or something like that.  We have Eru, Alien Psychic, Anti-Fusion of Ice, Umbral Soul, Change of Fear of Reflector Ray. We have Married at Might, Lycanthorpe, Angel Rules, and Emblem of the Awakening. That is cool. Okay. What a video today though. I mean, Air Nios, that is another one that has eluded us for a long time. And man, I've now pulled both the Ultra and the Ulti, other who have been Yu-Gi-Oh! Car. We have Wadki, Worm, we have Hourglass of Courage, Vanir, Xi'en Smoke Signal, and Barrier, Risenita. All right, Crimson Crisis. Give us another card we've not pulled. Red Dragon Archfiend, Assault Mode, Ghost Rare.  It was a effect monster. So maybe that means it could be what we're looking for. Wastewrite, this would be an amazing one if it is. Another secret! Tetris, Goddess of Light. It wasn't a ghost, but hey, wow, that is... We are on fire right now. We are pulling everything. Secret Rare Tetris, Goddess of Light, not bad. Okay, we are absolutely on fire right now. Pulling left and right. I mean, how many secrets is that? Like four or something? One, two, there might be three. And then the big Ulti, okay, Puppet Plant. And we haven't pulled that many supers. We're just getting high rarity, which is the fun part about these special editions. I say it all the time. They are not cheaper necessarily, but they are more fun to open. Grand Mole would be an amazing Ulti. Come on, okay. Yeah, Grand Mole would be really awesome. Diddy Crow, yeah, another big... Diddy Crow's our next hunt now. We've already gotten the forbidden Yu-Gi-Oh card. I guess it's Diddy Crow now. We gotta pull. Let's get a Ghost Rare right here out of store. We have Nordic, we have Blackwing, Kalima, the Hayes. Yeah, the cool part about this is there's cool Ultis in one set and then there's Ghost Rares in the other two sets. Marksford Ragnarok and Temple of the Six. There we go, there is a Super Rare. Temple of the Six is pretty good too, that's not bad. Another four, we are just foiling it up right now. Crimson Crisis, bless us with something big, because so far, I don't know, I guess they gave us, is it Tethys maybe? Was in Crimson Crisis, we have Morph Tronic. Setting Lost Star, Assault Overload. Morph Tronic, Map, Half or Nothing. Submarine Frog, Assault Mode Activate. Hyper Synchron and Black Salvo. I said we weren't getting Supers, now we get Tuna Rares. So there we go, they're like, don't worry, we got you. More Super Rares, you know what else we got? Man, Striking Eos has been good to us so far. I'm hoping for, I guess, the cool part is you can get, that's like Hobby Ulti, you can just get one out of these. So that's the crazy part, like I didn't know if you could actually do that. Maybe because it's unlimited, maybe because Striking Eos was weird about Hobby Retail. I really don't know why we were able to get that, but Neosplation Glow Moss, probably has something to do with being unlimited, I think. I don't know, I can't remember, but I'll take it. I'm not mad, we have the Cosmic Compass. I wonder if it's just like every single Ulti you can pull out of these packs for Striking Eos. I don't know, there's the Running Super Battle Dread, Wacky, Hope for Escape. Cyber Shield, now we're cooling down a little bit because we were, I mean, we were on fire right there.  Secrets, Ultis, it was nuts, Trapeater. No ghosts though, Six Samurai, Morph Trining Mixup, Spell Reactor. This is great, I love when the Specialists have amazing bullets, they have Boar of the Spear, Soul Armor, and Psychic Sword. So it's always fun, it feels like it was worth it.  So it's not cheap. So even the Air Neos will not probably make the money back. I think that's probably a $250 card and limited something like that, which is amazing for an unlimited version.  It's not like really, oh, that's a secret I think. No, it's not a secret. The foils are so much lighter out of Strike of Neos. Very interesting. So a Neospatian air hummingbird, another Strike of Neos pull. Wow, okay, good stuff. So yeah, even if you don't make your money back, it just feels worth it when you pull that awesome pull, you know, and it's during a special and a celebrate. So it definitely feels like this was an awesome video and totally worth. Gammer Dameron, we have Hourglass, not House of Grudge.  Synchro. Synchro, Odin can be Ultra, Ulti, Ghost. Ultra, Ulti, Ghost, we want the Ghost. See if it's the Odin, it's 4K attack. No, not him. It's gonna be like Thor, Loki, I guess. Thor, Ultra Rare, that's pretty good. This could be Ulti, but we'll take the Ultra as well. There's a Thor. Pretty amazing card, we'll take it. We have Ultros, we have Supers, we have, wow, we have I think every rarity except Ghost. So that's the last thing we need. Yeah, you heard that Crimson Crisis. The last thing we need is a Ghost Rare. So do your thing right here. We have Mysterious Triangle, Trojan Gladiatorbeast, Hydra Viper, Nightwing Sorceress, Verdant Sanctuary, Cross Sword Beetle, Salt Teleport, Alien Overlord, and Royal Swamp Eel. More Supers, like the number of foils we're pulling right now is absolutely nuts. We are down to seven packs left, three more packs of Strike of Nios. They've been good so far, can they continue the goodness? No more Ultra Rucks of Specials. Of course I figured it out on the Air Nios pack, Destructed Cyclone, Flash Bang, Firestorm Prominence, Synthesis Spell, Fusion of Hour, another Super. Ever since I said we weren't getting Supers, we've pulled like six of them. This is crazy, Great Shogun Cheyenne, that's a good card as well. That would be a really nice ulti. So we've only opened 24 packs and we've pulled, feels like a ton of foils. Like I don't know how many it is, but it's probably like eight to 10 somewhere in there. Give us another, we've got one Ultra, we've got like five or six Supers. We've got a few secrets. We've got a ulti, Scraperon, let's see. Another secret, the Golden Apples. The only reason you know this card is if you played with Weevil and Dual Links in like 2017, 2018. That's the only reason you'd ever know what that card does. Yeah, okay, interesting, which I say that and there could have been some time before when it was used, but you know, some other burn deck I guess maybe. One, two, three, Crimson Crisis. I feel like has done the least. I mean, they've pulled one Secret Rear, I think. Couple Supers. No, maybe they've done more than, I don't know, Debris Dragon, it's hard to say. Another ulti? They heard me like, no, we've done something. Life Force Harmonizer, this is not a big one, but it is an extremely creepy one.  That is, that's a pretty weird looking card. Okay, not the best, but it is an ulti, so I'm not mad. We have now pulled a second ulti. We've pulled four or five secrets. This might be the craziest special edition we've ever opened, which we've had some big ones. Remember, we opened a Storm of Ragnarok special edition. I think it was for Josh with two maxi in it. That was pretty amazing. We haven't gotten that yet. That would be pretty big. Gorilla Darkroy of Sage of Silence. And a Grand Nios. No way, dude, if this was an ultimate rare, we would have gone crazy, but an ultra Grand Nios. Wow, we are pulling insane today. Ultra Elements or Hero Grand Nios. We're gonna have to go, I'm gonna have to go through these ratios in a second. Storm of Ragnarok, this is the craziest thing I've ever seen. These ratios are nuts. One, two, three. Divine Relic, we have a Legendary Six Samurai, Cyber Shield, Gamar.  So no Odum, but we got Loki and Thor. What in the world is happening? Okay, so I just checked. We have pulled two Ultis, three secrets, three Ultras, five supers, and that's just in the special edition. Then we had two secrets before that out of Extreme Victory. So 13 foils have been pulled out of 28 packs and there's still two left. So we could go 15 out of 30, which would be 50%. That'd be insane, especially with all this high rarity, like including Ultra, that's like eight high rarity guards. Twin Sword Marauder, we have Raptor Wing of Assault Slash, Salt Armor, T, Bone Crusher.  Come on, that's a third Ulti. So we're at three Ultis, three secrets, three Ultras, nine high rarity cards, 14 total foils pulled out of 29 packs. It all comes down to Striking Eels. We might get a 50% pull rate, which on Yu-Gi-Oh cards is absolutely insane, but even if new Yu-Gi-Oh cards, that's crazy. So for old Yu-Gi-Oh cards, that is absolutely absurd, especially pulling not just supers.  Okay, just give us a Diddy Crow Ultimate rare. Why not? If you guys have enjoyed the video, make sure you subscribe to the channel for more content like this. And shout out to you guys for watching for the last three years. It's been pretty amazing. Wow, this is insane. I can't believe this. Ritual ceiling, we have a Yaichi. It's been the perfect three-year special. Since the spell, we have a Diddy Crow. I asked for Diddy Crow, not an Ulti, but we did get one. Oh, okay. We're not gonna get that 50% pull rate, but we were that close. That was an amazing, amazing opening. Shout out to home foe show, Puffin Zidoo, Manesto, Deanna, America Doidster, another show, Ian Musa Jr. Barting, Robert F., Thomas McLean, Changelang, and Adelso Galcia Jr. Thank you guys for supporting the channel. I'll see you guys next time. Peace.


Hello in this lecture we will define limited life. According to fundamental accounts and principles wild 22nd edition the definition of limited life is length of time an asset will be productively used in the operations of a business also called service life or useful life. When we're talking about the limited life or the service life or the useful life we are talking about generally property plants and equipment and thinking about how long that property plants and equipment will be useful to the business helping to achieve the business goal that business goal to generate revenue. For example our property plant and equipment in this example is a tank and that's going to help us to generate revenue in some way in the future and therefore we will put that on the books as property plants and equipment so the cost of the tank is $257,500 we then need to determine how much that tank will go down by in accordance with the limited life. Limited life how many years will we have this for how will we then allocate the cost over that time period depreciating in an appropriate way in relation to the use of that tank in accordance with the matching principle. In order to do that the one way is the straight line method to calculate this using the limited life within that calculation. Let's take a look at that we've got the cost of the tank $257,500 we're going to take out the salvage value that's what we believe it's will be used for or that's what it will be valued at at the end of the limited life that will give us the $237,500 then we're going to take that limited life for years meaning that's how long we believe that the life of this property plants and equipment will be useful to us in helping us to generate revenue at the end of that time period we believe we'll have to sell it or it will have a value a salvage value of $20,000 that means we're going to depreciate $59,375 for the limited life each year so that means we're going to depreciate the $59,375 each year for the limited life of four years meaning that we will have total accumulated depreciation at the end of the limited life of $237,500 leaving us with a book value equal to the salvage value of $20,000 at the end of the limited life


What up peeps welcome back to the anxious truth. This is episode number 174 Recorded September 2021. I'm Drew lincellata creator and host of this well What I hope is a fine program welcome back to the show Thank you for your support every week your time your attention speaking of support by the way very quick program note This support for the podcast listener numbers are going through the roof the last couple of months So I don't know what you guys are doing but keep doing it and thank you very much So for those of you that come back every week and you listen and you're writing reviews and you're rating the podcast and the different platforms I Don't know what it is, but it's getting out of control in the best possible way and I appreciate all of you Thank you very very much for the support. So That being said this week our topic is important. It's an important recovery topic You may be thinking that you have no power in this process, right? It is out of your control your anxiety your trauma your pain These are monsters that are external to you they stalk you and you're just trying to find a way to keep them at bay But in reality you do have power in this process So in this episode I'm joined by my friend and frequent collaborator dr. Bridget Cooper dr. B is here again She is expert in this topic and an excellent collaborator when it comes to this sort of thing We are going to talk about gaining an awareness of the fact that you have choice in this process You have power in this process you have influence in this process and you have responsibility in this process And those are all really good things you want that so if you're feeling powerless over your anxiety And you need to understand that you are not powerless and you need to start to become aware of the choice that you have The power the influence you have the responsibility you have then this is the episode for you It's a really good conversation about 20 25 minutes. You guys are gonna dig it. I know you will I know you're gonna dig dr. B guys always seem to like when she's on the show So let's get to it at the end of the interview.  I hope you enjoyed yourself. Yeah, that was really difficult You know any who the reason why I invited dr. B to come on today is because today's podcast is about how? responsibility equals power in the recovery process and As dr. B is very fond of saying good you say it's your line I mean, I think it sounds so good rolling off your lips But I'm gonna do it and I'll just listen to you repeat it throughout the podcast because then you know I'll feel really flattered myself since I don't have the high-ranking book Flex that you've got but anyway It's awareness equals choice and choice equals power very good and it's it is outstanding that philosophy is really great Now you've applied it in maybe slightly different areas like You know dealing with pain and trauma recovery and that sort of stuff and just kind of general life transformation I mean, that's really good advice for pretty much everybody in almost all aspects of life Yeah, pretty much everybody because you know, and it's a it's an easy train to understand because When you are aware of what you and other people are doing what you and other people need what it's happening in the world You can then have more choices as to how to respond or react or intervene Engage in some way and that in in and of itself gives you more personal power So it's an easy train to to see to notice and then to implement I think where people begin to fall down on this is the first part So for you it's awareness, right? But and so I was starting my premise with like responsibility equals power taking Responsibility for for the situation that you're in not to say that neither and I'll speak for you on this one I think I can neither doctor B or I are implying that it's it's your fault the situation Right. So if you're in the grips of an anxiety disorder, it's not your fault in any way So awareness of your of your role in it or taking responsibility for your role doesn't mean it was your fault You didn't do something wrong, right? That's so so so important to say But being aware of the fact that you do have a role and you do have responsibility here So you're you're got the precursor the awareness. That's a hard sell for a lot of people, isn't it? You ever find resistance there? I guess I guess so because I think Most of us are going through our lives unconscious to either parts or complete Areas or the totality of ourselves, right? We're just we're surviving every moment And I know for the people that you work with Becoming aware is actually sometimes the enemy because you're hyper aware of everything that's happening every breath heartbeat Whatever it is, right? You're hyper aware So trying to tune into awareness for a lot of people is not just a tough sell, but it's a it's a it's a heavy lift and Knowing how to become aware and what to become aware of doesn't mean Staying in awareness, and I think that's what a lot of people who are struggling with anxiety End up doing is they get stuck in the awareness step Yeah, so they're sitting in this hyper vigilant awareness of every little thing in there and other people's Surroundings instead of moving into that choice Heart that responsibility part that you're talking about which is moving from that. I can see I have a problem I can see I'm panicked. I can see all these things and where it comes from I've analyzed my life inside now now What do I do with it? Which is what so much of of your stuff your prescriptive things are about are taking action on that? Awareness I would say that it applies the same thing with what hole true in the area that usually work in You know where people are dealing with trauma recovery and and pain and that sort of stuff and trying to overcome those things Are you keenly aware of your past keenly aware of the damage keenly aware of the abuse right keenly aware of all those So what are we trying to be aware of? So I'm gonna I'm just gonna tee up a purchase of your book like right here like so everybody get on the Amazon right now Because here it is all right the awareness that I preach and the awareness that you're preaching is actually about creating pauses between moments It's about saying it's about slowing your role the hell down So you can actually make a choice about the next thing you're going to entertain as a thought or the next behavior You're going to employ is actually slowing down enough Create that gap so that you can make a choice because most of the time We don't feel like we have a choice in how we're responding I saw it, you know in the stuff that you talk about about you're like this You know this lizard brain right and running running running We're all stuck in those same kind of grooves until we're not Yes, so in order to get that choice we have to create a gap Between the awareness of what we've been thinking about and where we're going to find the choice as to what we're going to take Responsibility over to do differently next time or in this moment I'm different right so the awareness in that situation is an awareness that I can do that So yeah, and many people will say and I'm sure many people in your sphere, too Like they're just so racked with with guilt or resentment or anger or pain or Vulnerability or whatever it happens to be now my crowd might be a little bit different They're racked with their symptoms and the intrusive thoughts and all of those things But you can actually put a pause between the thought or the emotion and the action that comes after that And that's where the awareness comes in I can put in a pause and then I can decide what to do next as opposed to Automatically saying my lizard brain made me do this or the narcissist in my life that had me for ten years Is making me do this same thing? Yeah, right? Yeah is taking that responsibility and saying my How I got here might not be my fault, but how I get out I get to take power over that I get to be responsible for that. Yeah, and that's that shift You know, I get a lot of people who are very you know We're talking about trauma recovery or just even if it's not what they're thinking of as trauma But bad relationships about boss, you know crappy co-workers, whatever it is They're coming to me and they want to tell me the story over and over and over again About why they got here because they're looking for validation. Yeah after I've fed that validation monster enough That's time to say, okay. Yeah, I get it.  Yeah And I think that's where your responsibility piece comes in and where my choice piece comes in Because it both it leads to that power and putting you back in power because for so many of your people too Who have been through trauma who have or in it right now, right in bad Circumstances relationships are in the trauma of anxiety and the grips of it itself It feels scary to think that they actually have power because they feel like Something else has been in power all this time. Yeah, or something else put me here be it Whatever element of there may be abusive or traumatic past or the anxiety which people will talk about like it's its own sentient monster That's talking them Which I get I totally get that Right, so it feels like well all this stuff put me here and it's completely out of my control So therefore I cannot possibly have any control with getting out of it I have to hope that it somehow changes or somehow my past goes away or somehow fades or something So I get that and you know one of the more interesting and powerful statements I've ever heard and I want to say it was a clear week statement And I've had people repeat it back to me over and over was the statement that says well the how I got here Is it wasn't necessarily my fault, but the one thing that is keeping me stuck here is me Yeah, yeah, which is a really I mean look out of context if somebody just like took that clip They would probably look come after us with picture works and torches because it sounds like victim blaming in some way shape or form But it's really not it's you know, the only thing keep the most heroic thing you can say Because it actually yourself the power. Yeah, yes, because it actually puts the power back With you. Yes, because if if the anxiety as that monster chasing you down or your trauma history monster chasing you down That gives that experience or that condition the power over everything past present future, right? That's That's troubling Right because then that that's actually just it means that you're never going to get out of the way of this Oncoming train because it just keeps coming. Yes, whereas if you say Something brought you here, but you get to bring yourself out then all of a sudden you're in charge of something Yeah, like you get to change that and that's such a it sounds like you know Oh, maybe there's fear that somebody's gonna come after me the pitchfork for saying that but to me I That's the most beautiful statement someone could make to me because it says it doesn't matter Any more what happened back there? I mean it matters in the sense of I want to validate you and your experience and your trauma But it isn't here anymore. The only person holding it here. Yeah, is me or is you? Yes, right like I get to make the decision you get to make the decision to say No more and you know, I have colorful language, so I won't use it here But I'll I'll abbreviate, you know when people have asked me You know, how did you get out of the way of all of the things that happen to you?  And I said F that yeah, yeah In all it's vernacular in all of its power because why would I? to allow that to continue is To hand my life over to someone or something that doesn't have the grace or the responsibility or the The love to hold that yeah, like I don't give that to them So I think there's there's I hope with your population. I know with the powerful way that you speak to them It's an act of rebellion. Yes.  We talked about that So every Friday I do the recovery room on Instagram with some of my friends and collaborators And we talked about that a couple weeks ago that while in some of the ways that I talked about You know becoming non-reactive toward anxiety and panic may look very passive for me personally that was a tremendous act of defiance It's still so, you know, it might look like I'm just limping a chair letting myself panic But it is the opposite of being I like to use the term being dragged So I'll say all the time like well Do you want to continue to let this thing drag you up and down the block where you have no choice? And you were just being dragged or do you want to recognize that well? I can do something different and something different might be literally to say I have a choice to allow the panic to come I The analog I have a choice to allow that memory to come in your world Right, right, and I will let it come and get me and I will do my best to process it rather than letting it Grab me and drag me into whatever it wants with me. I get to participate in this process actively now It doesn't mean that you have the ultimate positive outcome the first time you decide to do that It's a work in progress and it changes right I mean the ultimate wouldn't it be great like first time like what I mean, this isn't like Instagram true This is thank you.  It's it's the only way out is through Oh, yeah, you got to go through those tough moments in order to get to the place where it's not Always difficult. It's funny. I know a guy that has a podcast that made shirts That say the only way out is through and like the only way out is through. Yeah, but he said in Latin He's really cool dude.  I'm the worst, but anyway, I think it's important to recognize that and what dr. B is saying is right It's messy. It's nasty. It's ugly. It's muddy. It's dirty. It's dusty. It's all of those things It's up. It's down to get knocked on your ear and you got to get back up again all of those things This is not the final scene of a Drew Barrymore movie where they all you know They get out the tears and then they're dancing in the kitchen and that's the end scene like it doesn't happen that way So I think that's where a lot of people get put back a little bit like or they get disappointed They have the epiphany that like oh, I'm I'm the only one in an anxiety disorder like wow I have an active role in my own recovery here. I can make choices. I can participate. I have power Okay, I'm all good because now I know that no not really Now you got to do it and it's it's really really difficult work But the awareness that first the awareness to go back to it that you have a choice and you have agency in that and you can exert some influence Leads to you know awareness equals choice. You can choose to do things differently and choice is power So for me, it's responsibility equals power and it does it does and so it does You know that in order for them how we blend this is that in order for them anybody to take responsibility They have to become aware. Yes of the responsibility itself, right and of the tools That you offer that others have offered in their recovery to be able to go on that recovery journey, right? So there's a there's an awareness of those resources and awareness of their agency in it in order to take it and Actually do anything with it and it's okay. You can shorten it It's fine You can take your role of responsibility equals power and just know that it came from me and awareness equals choice There's always been asterisk stolen unabashedly from Bridget Cooper But I think you know, it's so funny because the and it does What I find interesting is when you embrace this, you know awareness responsibility choice power It still looks the same Like on the path that you take and the action, you know, the situation does not change It looks exactly the same so a lot of people I think they get a little freaked out by that But like, okay, great. I have power of responsibility I'm gonna be responsible for my own recovery and they think somehow it means it will look differently It doesn't know my experience is that you just experience it and process it differently You begin to learn from the suffering as opposed to being dragged down and just perpetuating the suffering Correct. Yeah, the events are the same but your relationship to the events changes and that's everything. Yes So, you know, going going to a crazy house, you know, when I ask people I'm like, hey, so Tell me the most stressful thing you could do in any given year and they're like go home for the holidays You know, like walk back into the you know, the Hellstorm that is there, you know, their family, you know of origin and Yeah, we go back right we go we go and we do this thing The difference in recovery of becoming aware and becoming aware of our choices and taking responsibility for our Heart in any of that dance or dynamic is to be able to enter that same space that same Crazy environment, you know, mashed potatoes being flung willy-nilly, you know, whatever that is, you know Crazy uncle, you know throwing back a few too many, you know All of those things is being able to be in that environment and not relate to it in the same way that you did before Not being hysterical or yelling or crying or hiding but being Aware and being able to make different choices about how you interact in that same environment So that's just how change looks is that once you have different tools once you have more awareness once you recognize your power You can be in the same Hectic chaotic environment that you were in before and have an entirely different experience of it Yeah, it's really very internalized because it then becomes like you said how you experience it how you process it How you relate to it it makes all the difference And there's a certain amount of there's passive versus active there like now I'm an active participant in this crazy house of thanksgiving in my dysfunctional family Or I'm now an active participant in this panic attack or in these intrusive thoughts Or in in these scary thoughts that plague me all day long. I'm now actively participating in this Choosing how I relate to them. How will I respond to them? How will I interact with them? Very different. Yeah, very. Yeah, and I think I think in that recovery process. It's important to notice Notice the difference, you know So when you're doing these things when you're all of a sudden taking responsibility and you're taking active role and you're In your anxiety recovery, you're doing these things differently is to notice Wow, this does feel different than it felt before. I may not be better yet I may not not be having this panic attack. I may not you know, I may not be where I want to be eventually But I'm actually feeling differently in this moment than I felt in similar moments before And simply noticing that is a way of being able to record progress and build on that progress Because that that noticing is really important what I notice with a lot of people that I work with and and we have a lot of crossover a lot of people who have you know, anxiety disorders and What they often will do is if I'm not a hundred percent there, I'm not there at all You know that cognitive distortion So Yeah, so it's about when you notice that you've made progress that this does look different to challenge that cognitive distortion of because I'm not all the way there I haven't even begun the journey Noticing where you are along the points of the journey allows you to recognize progress not perfection yet Yeah, progress not perfection is a big catchphrase and it's but it should be because it's it's valid We in my community we tend to talk about not so much that you will start to feel different the feel different comes later The feel different for my people. It's a it's a happy side effect, if you will But when you start to learn and you have to two podcast episodes ago I said are you refusing to learn the lessons of recovery when it hands them to you?  I acted differently and look it didn't take me down I've always been afraid. I'm still here. I'm still here. I still what can I learn from what just happened here What can I learn from this last trip home with crazy drunk uncle? So But if you're not it's it's important to understand the awareness and make your choice and take your Responsibility and then exercise your power But then you have to take the lesson that that that new experience gives you because if you just repeat like it was terrible It was horrible. I felt awful. It was terrifying. My heart was pounding. I was short of breath I thought I was going to pass out.  My family is full of raging narcissists. They're so abusive. This is terrible that you didn't learn the lesson So you're wasting your power. I think Right because you didn't collect that lesson and and have it inform a future behavior experience So in in surviving a panic moment, right being able to know that you didn't die or you didn't kill your dog Or you didn't do those things it's to Come to the end of that moment and say, okay, so What did I see? What did I notice? What is true now? What was true then? Yes, that I didn't think was true before You know, so I I had all these assumptions. I was and I talk a lot about narrating So one of the most powerful tools is how we tell the story So you and I could go to the exact same event Have you know the exact same dinner have the same service has have everything and we could leave And you and I could go independent of one another to a to a mutual friend and tell them about our experience And they would think we were not even together in the same room right Which is very right. Exactly. That's so important happens all the time telling the story So forget seven percent slower in the anxious truth that that book which if you listen to podcasts You should own chapter three change your reaction after is the storytelling So, you know for us, it's always changed the reaction before that's how you deal with anticipatory anxiety The reaction during how you interacting while you're in the midst of the exposure or the panic and after the reaction after is the storytelling So, you know narration is a big deal. I always try and tell people stop narrating the fear and start narrating the lesson and the win Not because you'll magically have this brand new mindset and everything will be hunky dory But you have to narrate the reality of it and accept the reality.  It didn't kill me. It didn't take me down That's the very and it's very hard to to Believe something different or experience something differently if you keep telling the same story You have always told that landed you in that place to begin with exactly and you and I've had this conversation that we would rather be right and be happy And so we we seek Consistency. Yeah, so it's okay So I I have such compassion for your listeners and your readers that are in mind that are Stuck in a story because it feels safe to at least know what's coming at least know what you know What the end point is going to be But it keeps being the end point because you keep telling the story the same way If you shifted some part of your story if you noticed something different about your story this time Everything else could change because you would be right About this new observation So you could continue to be right and be happy in a new way versus holding the same old story and being right Because you just keep telling the story consistently and not be happy at all. That's interesting I'd rather be right than happy does apply in a lot of instances because Giving up the narration of that was terrible. That was terrible. That was terrible When you tell people give up that narration and instead recognize the reality that you're still standing Sometimes it feels invalidating to them. I think yeah No, no, no, I'm not trying to invalidate your experience But as part of the new narration is acknowledging and validating the experience that really sucked That was really hard. That was really scary. That was really uncomfortable. But I did it So okay, but I and I want to I want to change the word but I did it and I did and there you go That's even and I think one thing I think one of the things that we tend to to discount is the ability to hold two realities that seem to be in opposition Obviously Why we're not doing these on a regular basis more than one thing to be true at the same time I don't even know but but but the point of it is that in order to hold that That forward momentum We have to and be able to tell that story in your step three that that tell that story In a different way is not to invalidate the initial experience It's to add color flavor layer and complexity to the original story Which is I can feel completely out of control, you know under fire Freaked out scared and powerful at the same time I can have both of those things at the same time I can hold both truths and so many of us are under the solution that we can only hold one or the other And in that in in doing so we negate half of our experience Yeah One of the the statements is very simple statements that Kind of started my ball rolling years ago was you can be Afraid and save at the same time It was one of the original probably one of my earliest posts on social media was that and it was Wait, what wait? What like how can that be afraid means unsafe, right? Well, sometimes it does but Oftentimes it doesn't just as one example of two things that can be true at the same time. So there you go There it is. All right So there you go. So become aware of the of you know the situation different awareness not awareness of how horrible it is But awareness of the fact that you have agency And then then make different choices and then you become responsible for those choices And then you have power and then you can start to make change So yes, and you can live a better more abundant life because that's all that drew and I want for you Yeah, in the end it does it might be slow and it might be incremental and it might be painfully like You might be really frustrated sometimes, but it does lead to good places So accept your responsibility for your ability to change your situation because you have it no matter what anybody tells you you do You absolutely do. Yeah, bravo. Good job. Dr. B Thank you for coming as always if people were going to read One of your books to start which one do you think they should read? From my population, you know little landslides and pain rebel Yeah, little landslides and pain rebel are kind of like a duo little landslides if you have a stomach or a hunger for reading You know narrative because it's a it's my life story So if you like biography autobiography stuff, that's a it's a it's a sucker punch, you know, right to the throat It's it's a good it's a good story And I think it demonstrates that you can see some pretty dark and and windy Places and still emerge light and strong And then pain rebel is really more instructive about being able to because I think a lot of your listeners They have two kind of things going on Simultaneously, which is they have the anxiety disorder, which is like this present right in their face problems But then all of the stuff that's underneath that and got them to that place or is reinforcing that place or preventing them from going Any place with it is some of their their pain history? Yeah, and so pain rebel is that accompaniment that helps you Manage and and challenge that in very practical tactical ways To be able to alleviate some of those symptoms that I think When working in pair with with some of the things you're doing is a is a beautiful recovery story One day we should probably take 15 minutes and bundle those two books together.

So this is a cross-section through a homogenous sphere and let's just imagine that we have an earthquake that happens somewhere on the surface of the sphere, like over here. Now, the wave fronts will travel outwards from the source, sort of like this, you know, the way that noise travels in all direction from a noise source, or if you toss a rock in a pond, waves travel outward in concentric circles from the source. So these are kind of pictures of what the wave fronts look like. Now the ray paths are perpendicular to the wave fronts, so we draw them like this. And in a homogenous sphere, all the ray paths would just travel straight through the sphere to the other side, like this.
