I direct a brain technology group at the MIT Media Lab. We work on ways to really map the nanostructure of the brain and to try to help repair brain disorders like epilepsy and Parkinson's disease. Over the last decade or so, what we've realized is that as we work at this really unknown frontier where there is no guideline on how to build these tools, there is no textbook, we've been working on a number of sort of methodologies for thinking about how to tackle true unknown problems. Recently, we started teaching a class called Engineering Revolutions, which is a collaboration between the MIT Business School and the MIT School of Science. And what we're trying to do is to figure out how do we train our students to think about how to tackle these intractable problems? Are there methodologies? Are there strategies that could be brought to bear? Or is it just always going to be unpredictable and serendipitous? Can we be more conscious and deliberate about these problems that we want to solve? So one way to look at this and one of the prompts that we often start the class with is to talk about the 20th century. And during the 20th century, from a glance, of course, it looks like there were lots of really great technological innovations, from the airplane to the transistor to the laser. Of course, the microchip and all that came from it, landing on the moon and the internet. Looks like a constant stream of innovations that are not only very novel and innovative but changed everyday life for the better in a way that I think we all aspire to. And one question I think that a lot of us discussing here at the forum are what are these 21st century problems? At a glance, they look a lot tougher. Climate change, brain disorders that affect over a billion people, intractable cancers which are difficult to confront, clean energy. These problems seem to be very difficult and a question that I think is good to ask is, well, why? Why do they look difficult? There are a couple possibilities. One possibility is that all problems look difficult when you're in the middle of them and that's quite possibly true. But there's another possibility which is that some of these problems are fundamentally different in some way than problems that we tried to tackle in the past and succeeded at. In my own field, brain disorders, taking a solution out of the laboratory and into the marketplace where it can help people, especially if it's a drug, can take a long time and be very expensive. I think the numbers for justific one category, pharmaceuticals to treat brain disorders cost almost a billion dollars, take over nine years to get into humans and approved and the failure rate is over 90%. So with numbers like that, it's perhaps not surprising that many companies and individuals were sort of shying away from tackling these very, very difficult problems. So what is different? Let's try to investigate that hypothesis. Well, if you look at 20th century technologies that we've been talking about like the laser, like the microchip, like the moon landing and so forth, you could argue they were built on solid scientific foundations. If you know the laws of physics, mechanics, electrodynamics, quantum mechanics, you can actually know a lot about the fundamental barriers of what's possible. There are actually well described laws. You can fit the laws of physics into less than one page if you try. And the risk of a given project, of course, is always real, but it's not because of a fundamental barrier in the nature of existence itself. I mean, there's always, and we like to talk about different kinds of risk. There's always execution risk. Maybe the project is not properly carried out. There could be market risk. Maybe the customers or the competition aren't what you expected. But in the end, the scientific risk, if you will, the fundamental risk is limited from the fact that these are known and highly quantitative and well-delimited sort of laws of nature. So, of course, some of the problems we're talking about, like climate, like medicine, like education, there are not concise and elegant short lists of the principles. You know, we are always discovering new building blocks and new interactions in these complex systems. So, how can we reduce science risk? That's sort of the topic for today. One very popular concept right now, and we've heard a bit about this at this conference with the Cancer Moonshot Announcement, is this idea of, you know, let's do a moonshot. Let's set a huge, ambitious goal. Let's galvanize interest, maybe by coordinating teams, maybe by announcing a big prize. And basically, what happens is you're building a portfolio of different attacks on the problem. And the hope is that some of those are going to win. Now, moonshots work, as we'll talk about in a second, though, only if they're very well-posed. If you try to do a moonshot and the fundamental science risk is there, you could end up wasting resources. And so, one really needs to, if you want to pursue a moonshot, to either have a very solid, fundamental set of scientific building blocks to build from, or to put that acquisition of those fundamental rules as part of the moonshot. And sometimes that's done, and sometimes it isn't. So, of course, one recent success, which inspired a lot of moonshot thinking, was the XPRIZE in 2004. They awarded a prize for the first private group to get into space without government financing or government collaboration. And a team of industrialists and scientists were able to get to the 100 kilometer mark, which is the definition of the boundary of space. And many of us, myself included, found this to be very inspiring. However, and this is not meaning to trivialize or achieve in any way, the science risk is still somewhat low, right? We know how the laws of physics work, we know how to get into space, we know what to expect. And so, it's a tremendous technological and engineering feat, but it was a well-posed moonshot, if you will, because the fundamentals are well understood and it makes sense to pursue this kind of portfolio approach. Now, to sort of make an argument that this could have been ill-posed, what if they tried to launch the XPRIZE in the year 1700? So, back then, of course, the laws of physics still being worked out, right? Calculus and mathematics, you know, coming along, maybe have some ways to go. Aerodynamics, not even really beginning, you could argue. People in the year 1700, confronted with a moonshot, might have tried to launch hot air balloons, they might have ended up wasting a lot of resources, and you could argue that all the resources on the planet might not have gotten you into outer space in the year 1700 because the fundamental understandings are just so remote from what's needed to confront the real nature of reality. Now, this is not just a quaint example. You can find current examples all the time. I'll give you one example. My colleague Andrew Lowe, a finance professor at MIT, last year published a study analyzing the riskiness of trying to treat Alzheimer's disease. And of course, Alzheimer's is a major problem, one that in many of our countries probably will only get worse in the years to come. Being a neurodegenerative disease, it's very, very hard to confront. We don't even understand all the mechanisms of Alzheimer's disease. And Andrew did an analysis. Given current risk, the portfolio of research that you'd have to launch in order to have a good chance of a viable therapy is so large, I think he estimated $30 billion to be necessary in this initial fund. The private sector is unlikely, he concluded, to actually result in effective Alzheimer's therapies anytime soon. So that's an example where there's real science risk. We really need to understand more of what's happening. And Alzheimer's, being a slowly developing disease, if it happens over many years, is very hard to study because of this slow and difficult nature of understanding. So moonshots need a science risk de-risking plan to take place. So let's talk about a couple of ways to reduce science risk. And again, I think many of these concepts can apply to some of the things we've been talking about here at the forum, like the cancer moonshot and so forth. One idea is to take a cue from physics. In physics, there are a small number of building blocks, electrons and protons and so forth, and a small number of interactions, electrostatic interactions, gravity and so forth. You can make the list and you can build from them because there's a small enough list that we can hold them in our head and be designers of inventions. In many of these 21st century problems though, there's an incredible number of building blocks and a huge number of interactions. So just to pick one concrete example from my own area, if you look at the human genome, there's 20 to 30,000 genes, let's say, and they interact in very complex ways. Suppose you want to treat a disease and you're gonna try to screen through all these different sets of genes, perturbing them, let's say, three at a time. Even if you could try a million combinations a week, trying to perturb three genes in the genome at a time would take over 100,000 years to go through the entire set of triple combinations. And that's just triples. What if four genes are interacting in a disease? What if five? We don't know for most diseases how many genes are really interacting because the interactions are very, very difficult to map. So to take a step back, one issue is that in a complex system with lots of building blocks and lots of interactions, the vast majority of hypotheses that we make are gonna be wrong. It's just a fact of the statistics here. If you have maps though of the building blocks and interactions, which is one way of looking at the fundamental understanding question, then one can try to reduce the risk. And so that's something that is difficult to do though because when you're mapping, you often have to map things that you didn't even know are important. Just as two quick examples, in recent years has been a huge burst of excitement about how microbes in our gut might influence our brain or our immune system. And I can guarantee if you talked to a neuroscientist several years ago, the vast majority of them weren't even thinking about microbes in the gut. Or as another example, not to pick on my own field too much, the interactions between the immune system and development and aging and cancer and all these interactions between us and of course us in the outside world how social interactions shape health and so forth. These kinds of linkages are being explored now but the vast majority of these were not even topics of study as recently as several years ago. So mapping has to be more comprehensive than you think it needs to be. Big data is a buzzword nowadays but I would argue that for a lot of these complex problems you need far bigger data than you even think you need to know. One phrase that I like to use is what I call the illusion of reductionism. Many of us in science will try to pick certain things to study a small part of the system because it's comprehensible but it's sort of only an illusion of reductionism because we might be ignoring other parts of the system that are just as important if not more because of the size of the system and the interactions. And so one thing that I think is powerful about trying to really systematically map things is to help us avoid the illusion of reductionism. We want to really find out what is important even if it means going outside our comfort zone even if it means entering realms where the human mind struggles to comprehend all of it and that might mean we need better software tools or collaborative models but it doesn't mean that we should give up on trying to confront reality on its own terms. So how can we actually build such mapping tools? Building mapping tools that go beyond the information we think are important that's actually really difficult and I'll just give you one example of a technology that our group is working on to try to confront some of these issues. So in medicine of course, one big quest is to understand how cells in the body change in disease. If you can do that, you could actually try to pinpoint some of those changes and use them as therapeutic targets. Can you kill off a cancer by aiming a dart at a specific target? Can you treat a brain disorder such as Alzheimer's by blocking a degenerative pathway? And of course tools like microscopes have been invaluable over the years for trying to look at structures in cells.  So recently we started to take some inspiration from the kinds of chemicals that you find actually in baby diapers. In baby diapers, it contains a polymer that starts up very compact, very dense, and then when you add water, which babies do in their own idiosyncratic way, the polymer will swell and become larger. And so what we decided to do was to try to take tissues like tumor biopsies, like brain samples, and to do this process right inside the cells. So here for example is a specimen of brain tissue and then we infused it with these chemicals and made the polymer and then added water to swell it and this is that brain tissue a few hours later. We've swollen it a hundred fold in volume and because these polymers are so tiny, you can actually move the molecules apart from each other to the point where you can identify them and map them. So what we're finding now is that this is gonna be very useful for things. For example, we can start to map brain circuits and how they change in degenerative conditions like Alzheimer's disease. We're starting to look at the structure of the genome. The genome many of us think of as a line, but in reality it's coiled up in a very compact 3D complex. If we can map how it looks in three dimensions and how one gene might interact with another very, very far apart, that might help us really understand the genome sequence not as a line, but as a 3D sequence if you will. And we're looking at a wide variety of tumors trying to map the molecular changes in them, hoping that we can find distinguishing factors that make one tumor cell change that help us target them selectively without of course harming normal and healthy cells. Now it's very important to point out that mapping is not everything. Mapping will suggest hypotheses, but they have to be tested for causality through perturbation and so forth. I'm not even trying to pretend that maps are the entire solution, but maps are a way of freeing ourselves from biases and suggesting novel hypotheses that get us out of our local minimum and maybe enlighten us about other kinds of interactions. To confront the thinking, it's also the kind of situation that we might wanna have a way of mapping thoughts as well, our ideas. So the second strategy that I wanna talk about today is about how can you have mapping of ideas? And I take great inspiration from a astrophysicist, Fritz Zwicky, who over 100 years ago came up with many ideas about the nature of matter in the universe, which now are being found to be correct. How the heck did he do that? How did he think up these concepts long before the current technologies that we have appearing into the deep recesses of space? He came up with a strategy that he called morphological analysis, which is a way of trying to map all the ideas that could be possible in a systematic way to make sure you're not missing any. Maybe this is best time by an example. Let's try to think of every possible system that can generate energy. Well, we could start by making a list. There's gasoline, there's a sun, but how do you know you have the complete list? And so what Fritz would tell us to do is to take the space of all ideas and to split it into subsets. So the subsets sum up to equal all the possibilities. We might, for example, split it into renewable and non-renewable. So we made a little bit of progress, but the two categories that we come up with still tile the space of possibility. And then of course there's a bit of a game here. Can you make the most interesting splits? We can take renewable and split it into solar and non-solar. And already things are getting interesting, right? What's a non-solar renewable energy? And so in my group, we actually practiced these kinds of exercises and we started thinking, well, you know, as the earth turns, the moon tugs on the oceans and causes tides. And the tides, as they go in and out of harbors and bays and so forth, maybe you could capture that energy. And so the nice thing about the Zwicky method is that it forces you to kind of leave your comfort zone and it forces you to think of new ideas that you might not have originally. And I like to call this method the tiling tree method because each row tiles the space of possibility, but it looks like a tree. And the very tips of these tree branches are actual potential projects, things that you could do or try or do a pilot study for. The third and final example I wanna talk about is about engineering hybrid institutions. So when you're tackling these very complex problems and you have to leave your comfort zone and bring in ideas that might be foreign to your own skills and instincts, one strategy of course is to try to avoid the limit of being a fixed set of people. And also to work with people who have different temporal and goal constraints. So universities, such as those on the left of course, have certain constraints and certain advantages. They can look at long time horizons, but they don't scale very well. And for-profit companies, this is just from the forum website, of course can scale very well. They can go to very, very large deployable size scales, but maybe you're less open than academic settings and maybe less able to collaborate in these styles. And then finally non-profits, which are getting to be of course quite interesting, they can scale better than academics can in some ways and maybe can have different time horizons than the other two categories. So one thing we're trying to do at the MIT Media Lab actually where I'm a professor is to think about new kinds of hybrid institutional designs. Are there ways to freely collaborate between startup companies and for-profit large scale companies and non-profits to try to make sure that we never sort of run out of the skill set or the approaches that we need to bring to the table. I would like to think that at the Media Lab we're training people to be what I call collaboration architects. These are people who have anti-disciplinary tendencies, they've trained in multiple fields but are not feeling confined by them. They have the social skills to try to connect people across different boundaries and different incentive structures such as those that we talked about on the previous slide. And also, they have the ability to take a step back and connect dots and find serendipitous connections which I think is very important. What we found just through lots of projects within our group and in our collaborative network including robotic surgical devices, nanofabricated probes, ways of doing tissue engineering and so forth is that if you do sort of take a step back and get a good grounding on certain kinds of underlying knowledge, very often these projects can move quite fast because once you have a plan and you see the principles it's sometimes, not always, straightforward to go for the goal. And so going forward, I would like to encourage all of us to think about how do we sort of confront these kinds of difficult problems in our own areas and are there ways to seek out opportunities that are lower risk and allow us to de-risk some of these moonshots so that we can actually confront major problems in ways that are effective and efficient. Thank you very much for your time.


Let's chat a little bit and I'll answer all your questions and that's all before you leave that Hit that like button apparently that's that's big Apparently that's big for from YouTube or something All right Jonathan Livingston says hacking tracer servers until she laps and tracer takes security very seriously So this option is actually a problem. Does that mean tracer is hackable tracer is hackable? But there's a difference Tracer has already been hacked The difference was who hacked somebody's tracer in Canada. That was the exact example. It was an industry or a company that took a tracer had a physical possession of it and cracked open the case and Did a lot of hardware modeling and whatever else magic they did and they were able to hack it So if you lose your physical tracer There is a chance that somebody knows what the heck they're doing and they could hack it now I don't know how likely that is the people that break into homes or you know If they're that tech savvy maybe in the future, but I don't know But yes, that has happened in the past. So if you you know happen to lose your tracer Hopefully you have your mnemonic phrase and you can reset it and move it someplace else So yes all right The shallon says you're right maybe one hit 69 K because USD won't be worth anything I don't all fiat money goes to zero, but I don't see in the next two years the US dollar going Collapsing I just don't see that and the reason is is Because our fiat our currency is the best of the worst That's that's the best way I can say it it all comes about with trust right if fiat is all about trust I'm pretty sure a lot of the countries do not trust The Chinese Yuan or the renminbi I'm pretty sure they look at that and go I'm not using that stuff So then you have to say well, what else is out there that could actually do it Chinese Yuan could do it I don't know the other ones because you have to have a massive amount For the velocity of money to actually get through the economic system Also on top of that you have massive debt that people have bought up those dollars So for them to collapse it in two years money is gonna happen in ten years. Hey, why not? Who knows? But I just don't see it happening anytime soon And if if anything, I think the money printers will be turned back on before 2025 and it'll be worth more and Dollar terms, but the purchasing power of the dollar will actually go down because that's what happens when we print money. So Here's the here's the secret They print money Not financial advice. That's what I do.  They usually will help you especially Money returning assets such as like real estate put into your business or put into crypto or even put into gold and silver Those are assets So when you do those things then when the money starts to collapse or goes all the place Well, it's okay because you have the the interest bearing or the ability to use those assets to generate income Later on down the road That's just what I like to do All right bird flu Is Ben still waiting for 10k Bitcoin? Ah? maybe I think Ben is mostly concerned with his chess ranking opposed to Bitcoin and the and the and the amount I think he's sitting pretty right now on that Mountain of cash like Scrooge McDuck Ah Rob stop negative Nancy is taking over. I know Look, I gotta I gotta call like I see it I mean, I think we're way ahead of the schedule as far as like in June compared 2019 into right now Things are going pretty good Do I say 210,000 for Bitcoin? Sure. Why not? I don't know when I Think a more Reasonable Responsibly around 100,000 because remember we hit three trillion dollars for our market cap 3.1 3.2 That's 69,000. Why couldn't we get a five five and a half trillion? And be well over a hundred thousand. I don't see why not. I mean if gold is 12 trillion Right real estate globally is 283 trillion derivatives is roughly See why we why we can't hit that. Oh, man. Gary Gensler is Shutting me down Sorry about that a little bit problems with the Wi-Fi Have you looked into render it all kind of worried that Apple Connection will be a nothing burger in a crash this week? Good question. I'm actually buying render. We'll see what happens But here's the thing though. I Talked about before I like I'm not a programmer. I'm not a developer. I'm not into graphic studios but apparently rendering of of 3d frames and things for games and things for all the Different process that goes into rendering is pretty graphic intensive So what render does it's kind of like theta how theta uses your unused storage space to store for video files The same thing with render it uses the the processing power that is being unused in your computer And it pays you in render to use those things instead of having an essentialized location Same thing with theta is essentialized location for YouTube, right? They use they use all these different servers and they store all this data and all this These megabytes of or terabytes of video files so that you can watch these videos and Store it over there like it's super expensive, right? Because you have to build the infrastructure you have to build a physical location and it has to be in one centralized place What if you just use everybody's computers on the eight billion or so people in the world? Roughly six billion people have computers or so and you could use That storage space for theta same thing with render and running technology I can see how it could work. Just don't know if it's gonna be that one or somebody else Let's see So Lord siren says wrong Even if you lose your tracer and they can hack it if you have a passphrase put in place on the vice They can't do anything report that I read was different when they're able to get into the physical actual Trasor from a tracer that they were actually able to hack it and put it into their other funds But you're right if you know somebody is physically stole your your tracer Or hopefully it doesn't take them less than five minutes to do all these things if you have your mnemonic phrase You can just reset it move all your funds someplace else and you're good And Matt says I don't like Ledger's new service, but you trust them when they say it's often only again, if you want that service, it's $10 and I know somebody will freak out about that but You have to opt in for them to take your seed phrase and split it up or your private keys and split it up into those three different companies And if you don't pay the ten bucks, they won't that's what they say then people say but you don't understand wrong It's because they can do it now. They can do it. I'm like You know, there was a deleted tweet where they said we could have always done that just didn't happen The thing is and this is this is just the truth a lot of people don't want to touch this one because it scares the hell out of Because here's I'm gonna here's I'm gonna tell you which is the truth If Ledger goes down How many times have you heard not your keys not your crypto? And this is just the truth If Ledger goes down and it gets hacked. What happens the entire crypto Eco-sphere it collapses. I think it would collapse and nobody really wants to talk about that because that would make I said this before that would make our entire industry a Raging joke some people would say oh bro. You should have done a paper wall.  I mean you might be able to I mean you can still do it. I'm not gonna say you can go to 99 bitcoins calm and You can put up a paper wall, but guess what that just for Bitcoin So if you want to do something else and do a paper wall, you can do other ones Is that the way forward? Is that how we're going to innovate by using paper again? I guess so But again if Ledger goes down, I think that's it I think if because Ledger goes down and someone figures out to do it and then again We see tracer or if that goes down and what do you got? You got people saying you know what that not your keys on your crypto might be better Just to put it on a central as exchange. Oh, but wait, we just did that We did that with mount gox with a voyager with a Celsius with that FTX that didn't work out either So it is concerning to me But I have to pay I have to play around with the probabilities in all honesty. Here's what I do There are still some of my crypto that is on a central as exchange Why because I'm dollar-cost averaging every single day every single day dollar-cost averaging So things just get there until I get around to it not be so damn lazy to put it on my ledger Now what I would should probably do is take some of that on my ledger and put it into a paper wallets So I could have a paper wallet a ledger and a central as exchange I think that would be the best option, but moving forward. That's not the path or mass adoption That's just putting out a fire. I don't know what what else is coming forward But hopefully something better options come in soon. We'll see US debt has been out of the countries Well, yeah, I mean some countries default in their debt We don't we just keep raising the debt ceiling Which is pretty cool if you think about it because like if you max out your credit cards Wouldn't it be great to just call your credit card coming and go, you know what I know I'm maxed out on my money But could you just raise that? I mean they might do it sometimes, but what if you did ever like two years? Could you just raise it from ten thousand the fifteen thousand and fifty thousand twenty five thousand?  I haven't used that a long time. I gotta use snap camera for that. I don't have it on me. Sorry Can H bar range $2? Sure. Why not? The Williams says we need some more adoption of 400k China might be the catalyst could be Remember that whole That whole discussion about China's coming in they're gonna buy a bunch of bitcoins and totally untrue really what it comes down to is Hong Kong is going to allow exchanges to become legal so retail investors and Institutional investors can all buy crypto and digital assets in Hong Kong. The thing is that in Hong Kong It's one country two systems so China is 1.4 billion people and Hong Kong is roughly 7.2 million people There's a vast difference between what's happening there So I know people got their hopes up But it just wasn't that way yet and remember on June 1st They were opening up the ability for these exchanges to register To become make it legal for retail investors to invest in a crypto because before they already had institutional investors That was already pop. That was already gone through. That was already legal. But as of June 1st You had to reapply apparently and if you did any kind of investing whether that be institutional or Retail that was been illegal and that will be a fine in jail time. So June 1st, it's the 4th today. Let's see if they get going His pants waiting for heat to go home. I think we all are We all are Rob could increase adoption offset dimension returns. Absolutely, but the thing is you have to get that you have to get mass adoption I'm gonna ask you guys a question What's gonna lead to more mass adoption? Is it us going? Hey check out this cool thing I'm gonna use this paper and I want you to put your entire life savings into it and then just keep this paper safe That's the future of of finance If I if someone came to me like that, I've known in my crypto. I'm like, you're out of your mind So, let me know what you think that the next big wave of mass adoption is.  I'm tired today I'm tired It's a rough night. Well, it's likely now people move from ledger. I Would that be a good question? Craig Wayne says what's a paper wall? It's a good. That's a great question So I need to do a video on that because I think that'll be a big thing paper wallet is essentially the Probably the most secure way to do things is you will write down your mnemonic phrase and your private keys and this Will be a paper wallet And that's it. You can find those on 99 design 99 bitcoins.com and there's a host by the ones, too The Fledger goes down. We're doomed. Absolutely Rob, I love you love this up just to knock us down You got to remember Here's the thing I got this friend his name is Alex We call him negatron because he's always negative and when I'm like when I have an idea for a business I go I'm like, hey, man, let's go have a beer and I'll run this these ideas by Alex And if it's like if you shoot some down shoes down, I'm like, they might be good at my bed But if he's like that's a good idea. I'm like, oh my god. I got a winner. So like for me, you know that I'm I try to keep it Balanced about what I do if I'm super bullish during this, you know, whenever the next bull run comes You can be sure it's it's it's a good thing because I'm not very easily swayed To one side or the other so once it happens like oh, this is good as opposed to like someone was like, hey, guess what I Found this new low-cap gem and it's going a hundred X tomorrow. Like really he just Smith that's always happens every week Yeah, exactly when you have a thousand wallets, you're good For us to like grab a CBD surf for you the Shaolin says it's not one country's mess like could be I don't live in China Or Hong Kong, but that's what they say it is Yeah, I always thought the crypto hype was overflowing. It was but maybe it could be the next big catalyst. We'll see Sam Dose's next big adoption will be gaming. I have to agree And I was looking for this data point on Gaming And I couldn't find it yesterday. I was doing a live stream But I found it again, and I'm gonna share this with you real quick This is why gaming is gonna be big How many gamers are out there this is from a stead It's from exploding topics which was taken from statistic And there's some things I highlighted globally as far as gamers. There's approximately three billion active video game players I don't know how many people are actually into crypto right now. I know in America apparently is 20% roughly And we only have 345 million people or something like that globally I think obviously it's much higher, but it's not nowhere near as far as gaming Asia is home to almost 1.5 billion gamers And then it goes through some stuff. I don't care about that gains by region Asia Europe Latin America North America awful And then there was a couple of things which made me feel about it Portion of gamers if you're on my channel Statistically, you're between the ages of 33 to 55 That's not a bunch of gamers. You could be younger.   Just killing time. I Probably want to do that as opposed to Scrolling through Twitter mindlessly. I'm just saying I think there's a play for this I think it's gonna be big girl, but I could be wrong with us with the data shows. All right How do you watch hockey for don't special demprey? I haven't seen a pocky in a while. I probably check it out the plan today. That'd be good hmm thorium thought thorium Wooden fidelity offering to buy and because don't your be key BTC been excellent stuff towards adoption. Yes It would be But Rob Not your keys, not your crypto.  That's fine But to make the tent for everybody to be in That's what you do like look if you don't want to custody it you can go this route And I think I personally believe that pain is the best teacher. It's like your kids right the kids They're by the stove when they're young You don't want to touch that it's gonna be hot You want to touch that and I keep going going going like you know what what this kid touch it Touches the pan burns his finger ever does it again, right? How many of us are going to trust a centralized exchange anymore? And none of us right, but the new people They're not gonna get it. They're like I use a bank let them do those things and they're gonna do it We'll be okay We'll self-custody and let them out and then maybe as we get them into it We slowly bring them in You don't want to put You want somebody who's just taken the first boxing lesson to go into the UFC repeat sakes get crushed so we just bring them along slowly and You know Trojan horse them I guess you want to say like that Use cold wallop built on a smartphone, I don't know if that's possible Tommy see Rob's killing it. You know who's killing it. You know who's killing it? Clear-value tax that guy crushes it every time he puts and we're talking about this every time that that guy puts out a video It's like in one hour. It's like 40,000 views. It's amazing. Just this guy smart guy in a white Usual white shirt standing behind him just talking about macro I crushed it. He just does Sass finance Missing drinks for the pool made at the end So much FOMO Tom crowns a legend. Oh Yes This is a great point by Shaolin. The big catalyst is always the having remember backed I remember backed in 2019 remember the institutions are coming. It's always the Bitcoin having and I don't think people will say Well, that's not the catalyst Rob really what the catalyst is is all the money printing again It's not We've been printing money forever We've been printing money forever Remember 2015 that's a pretty junkier for for for Bitcoin 2014 after the all-time high doesn't hurt it was good, but we're always printing money. We were always printing money 2017 we're print a lot of money, right? What happened here? 2020 well that was during the the coronavirus printed a bunch of money What was the catalyst was? First of all The Bitcoin having then we had a ton of money and I'm like we just talked about before But we're tightening it shouldn't have gone up It went from 15,000 to 30,000 as we were tightening. I still think it is that now Gosh, you're not just listening to me say that sound a little bit arrogant honestly Here's what I'll say about the four-year cycles They're like politicians They They're all wrong and some are useful just like all models, right? So when I take a look at it, we're gonna push the narrative the people that are out there The narrative is gonna come out.  You're gonna have all the different The Raoul pals and all the different people go along on the MSNBC Train and talk about the having and people like oh, that sounds pretty interesting And then all of a sudden just gets sucked in the narrative and there it is It's the narrative that we Whether it be true or not It's a narrative that we accept as the fact and we push it out there and it becomes a fact That's just really what it comes down to now What if we collapse and and it doesn't make it? Well That'll be the that'll be a first, but it wouldn't anything nothing surprises me these days It's a good point. Maybe legalizing crypto in Hong Kong It shines way be doing a test run before making it legal in the mainland. It's a good point Shaolin said it too. He said, you know, that's a misconception about one country two systems He said it's not it's we're all on at the CCP Could be His Elizabeth Warren buying Bitcoin. No, she hates our guts And she hates us and she hates crypto because she thinks it's a it's a positive narrative And she gets clamped on to it and doesn't do enough research to really look into it. That's the problem and You know that happens to us, too. Maybe we get a little bit Horse blinders on Yeah, see Tom says my channel's demo was 24 to 34 like 40% Tom You should start talking about blockchain gaming because that is your demo. I Think web 3 and blockchain gaming are gonna be awesome get on crypto stash and Blockchain gaming forgot that guy's name, but they're like, they know exactly what's happening I Actually playing a 15k guarantee and hold and turn it. No, very nice. This is a great question How do you get that game token of value? It's the same thing with everything. How do we how do we get it to have value because we would we believe it has value? Or it actually has real-world utility. Let's take gold for example, right? It's been around forever. So people believe it has value not only that but it has Intrinsic value, right jewelry we use that for for microchips and motherboards and things like that. I get it, right? So that has value food water clothes same type of thing, right? It has value. It has utility let's just say for example that you have this token and it's in a game and You could use that token To purchase power-ups and everything else, right? It's the same thing that fortnight does fortnight, you don't use you have to buy these v-bucks to actually power up your your person in in fortnight, but let's just say that a game comes along and You have people who buy the intellectual property right to it in the trademark and then you could purchase said tokens to not only power up But then you could have a part of that trademark of the intellectual property So now you actually own it and it's on-chain and it's proven because you have in your wallet and then let's just say that they take that game And I don't know maybe they have a deal with Walmart Maybe they have a deal to put those on to pre-install game somewhere Maybe that's a project. I'm involved with I'm just saying and then maybe you could do those things and You say maybe there is value here as far as residual income and also maybe instead of like a play-to-earn type of thing It's like a wind-earn type of thing where you put in a token Just like just like blackjack just like gambling right you put in a token Everybody puts in a thousand dollars. There's ten guys Top person takes point five thousand second place takes three thousand third place takes two thousand numbers four through ten get nothing essentially And then of course the house always takes a little bit. What if you could do that? There's a lot of ways for for tokens to have value and utility it just depends on how you do it and then it depends on it People are actually gonna use it and they believe in it. That's where it comes out Yes, grant that thought of six is already released.  How does that work out because they nickel and dime you to death all the time You have to buy all these skins and the weapons to actually make it actually work and actually Go farther in the game It's a beautiful model. It's beautiful I mean if you want to make up ton of money, but it pisses off the gamers at some point like man I can't get anywhere because everybody's whooping me All these these power-ups they have now what you say The powers that you have you can take them anywhere you want to throughout any kind of game with ever kind of ecosystem And you can do that right now and like steam and things like that But what about like creators of those types of things and they could sell those and get Royalties and again like the trademark in the IP. That's a whole different story. So It's again, it's I think it'll be big. I just don't know when Tom Cron is the coolest dude in crypto. I'd say this that kids everywhere. He's everywhere. He's at all the different shows Everybody wants Tom Cron to be with them Yeah, I'd be pretty F2 pretty The golden girl is it a rule pull on the background in front of just all green screen Yeah, the green screen Green screen man in China exactly right Jewelry is overrated like tattoos And let's see did we get everybody? Holy smokes come up at 51 minutes Crypto burger my codon was an atomic Making with Bitcoin XRP Maddox Ethan Khyber. It's been a rough. Sorry.  I think this is it Rob Tom on the four-year cycle. What month are you planning to sell in 2025? I don't to be honest with you I don't know but It's a very simple way to figure that out There's a link in the description And it's in every one of my videos there's two videos that I put out actually is for That's in all the all the descriptions. Why and when I'm selling a percent of my crypto in 2025 there's a bunch of indicators I look at and I will base it on indicators and not like what I used to base it on which was just even Just a guesswork essentially of where things are going and then There's that video and then this one is important Don't make these crypto mistakes and it's all the screw-ups that I've done along the way and I spelled it wrong Crito, don't make these Crito mistakes. I should probably fix that and then the other two are the Celsius Voyager timeline when I Talked about when I figured it all out before they shut down everything and that's it today. All right, buddy So look, thanks so much for stopping by appreciate it. Enjoy the weekend. It's a nice weekend It's gonna be a little rocky next week.

They would at least expect this right here What great defense right there by the ops. Nick Bosa as you contain I should have let it develop a little bit more He's sent a spy pretty well pistol doubles. We're getting real trey lance just right now I mean, we're just getting routed, huh? I mean debo. I got a double debo.

Nice Oh, he didn't come free nice But he's entirely too slow to keep up with the Michael vick experience I don't like twitch that much, dude Like all in all like I like twitch, but the way y'all be the things y'all be saying be like kind of stupid Like what are we actually saying right now? Like, what are we saying? Let's just say the sky is blue Like what else you want to talk about boys? Yeah, I got sacked right there. These dudes Honestly, I don't know. I don't know what's going on. Like I don't know what defense I think he's in some wild. He's kind of bagging me low key. I don't want to talk about it I really don't want to talk about it. What what's going on to me right now. Whoa pause What's going on to me? It's more interesting to argue in tangibles than stats Dude, you cannot call time out. Please for me. Please. Please. No loading. Please. How do you not call time out there as a man? How do you not call time out? How do you not do it? We go for this right here? We go for this Hmm. That's a good point. Is Derek Henry more physical? I got Derek Henry on this play right here This is not gonna be good Possession catch. Nice Henry Mixon might have dropped that that's the difference between me and him He didn't call time out and I went for that fourth when I couldn't keep my field goal But yeah, I think to put Debo over running backs at the physicality part is a little much, you know, I think I think we'd all still take Henry, right? Like for instance, who would you rather tackle? Debo or Henry? I would attack or tackle Debo You know what I'm saying? Dude, I had one of my friends my man RPG elite, right? This was one of my friends from like Madden. Oh wait, like I still one of my friends I play Madden with right this man RPG elite my man is five foot like four, right? And we had one argument one day Oh, that's a pick Dude, I want to play Elden Ring like right now dude. Like this is just not it. This is just not it for me Dude, it's just not this is just but anyway, so my man RPG elite We had an argument and he said he could hit stick Rob Gronkowski, right? Oh, he's going he's Dude, do you see that lighting up metal? Oh my gosh. What's the point of lighting up go out of bounds The longest one second ever. Oh my god, somebody asked me on tiktok today What's the best corner x-factor not the one I got I'll tell you that I saw him lit up I saw him lit up and then just I'm like I can get a pick And just the second just that second just held that second just held on it held on dude. That's what it did But anyway, so back to my man RPG elite five foot three Skinny he said he could hit stick Gronkowski if he was jumping in the air He said if if he was going across the middle Catching a slant, but Gronkowski had to jump in the air. He could hit stick them Because he said once you jump in the air you lose all your uh all your base I thought there's no chance like you way too small even if he jumps he still got a lot of momentum You're not going to hit stick them like you're like a whole One of his legs That was my argument and we had like an in-depth detail about this dude Always on fred warner fred warner's just not the guy you want in coverage fred warner's just not the guy you want in coverage and football real life anything So I don't know boys. Could you guys tackle nfl player like give me an nfl player you guys could tackle All right, give me one guy you got give me somebody you could tackle one-on-one in open field ren fro maybe I'd like me and ren fro Jalen y'all jalen regger definitely jalen regger definitely might get his dick. I do that right at that I really thought he was gonna go to the sideline. He just never did dude Are we really sweating right now? Oh my god. Oh vic fight. Who is Harris? The dude took like five steps to the sideline as soon as I do it He went back to the middle field. We're now down 10. Here we go. That's why they watch boys All right, boys.

I mean Definitely should have looked for the post there, but oh, that's just that's just pocket presents right there That's why you have gunslinger past lead elite boys right there That ball was terrible to an open receiver Like there's no way your team should be like Y'all know what I'm saying. Oh my god. Nitrain Nice staying bounds Nitrain Pass lead elite and escape artists. That's what I use man. That's why we got Henry. That's why we got Henry Close these games out boys That's why we got Henry to close these games out, right? Let's go aggressive aggressive. I don't care I got Derek Henry literally to close these games out. Yeah, darn the east is actually super super tough The east is really good. That's what look at that That's why sometimes you put on aggressive aggressive to close the game To close the game out. Look at franco drilling somebody Trey lance. There he is All right, we had enough of this. Come on play action. Thank you enough My oh fourth down here The Sixers will have like the best two players on the court in almost every series outside of maybe kd and yannis right Any other team they got the two best players on the court in the east in the east in the east Oh Hardin's better than brown and tatum. What ain't no way y'all get ain't no way. I got one of them over Ain't no way. There's no way my chat has tatum over harden, dude. There's just no way I see you see I'll be trying to like I'll be trying to like tatum and y'all say stuff like that, dude And it's just like like what then then I don't want to I don't want to like I don't want to like what you're calling no more depends on what harden shows up What do you like? What do you mean? Uh, kairi is good. I think harden is better than kairi Let's be real, bro. Oh, what what a job by 70 while he got weak boxes. What happened? I don't like I don't like those arguments. I don't like I don't like he's a choke artist. That's a dumb argument I like I saw somebody say that like that's a terrible basketball argument. It really is it really is He's a choke artist. Why because he hasn't won the championship That's how yannis was before last year. Everybody said the same thing Yannis can't win the playoffs and then he won so then what was the argument now You know what I'm saying? Like it's just like It's just a late.   He's so good. He still pisses me off though I expect him to be I expect him to be just I wish he was better dude 400 yards passing gg's


Esoteric. I think the big mistake a lot of teens and young adults make is running on autopilot after high school and just continuing on with a degree similar to a subject they thought was okay, agreed with you. If I could go back I think I would have taken time off before deciding on post-secondary path. Esoteric, I agree with you 100%. I was doing that, by the way. I'll get accepted university right away out of high school. I went and I realized I didn't want to be there, right? I failed my first year calculus course. It was garbage. I hated it, right? Failed another course. Did okay in geophysics and geologies that I like. Chemistry I did okay. Physics I passed. English I failed as well. And then after a year I think I said the hell with this. I don't want to be university, right? So I dropped out, okay, and I wouldn't got a job at a gas station working the graveyard shift. Okay, 11 p.m. till 1 a.m. I can't remember. Either 10 or 11 p.m. I think 11 p.m. till 8 or 7 a.m. Okay, I think 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. graveyard shift across an Indian reservation, right? The shit show I saw there.  I said no. I told the family I'm out. I need time to think. I want to read Lord of Rings. I was a slow reader. Lord of Rings is thick books. I went there graveyard shift interacted with people I would have never interacted with. Learned a fair bit. Read Lord of Rings. Family was flipping. There couldn't believe it, right? This guy he got into universities and he drops out and goes work in a graveyard shift.  I don't know, man. I just want to think, right? I want to breathe. I want to know what I want to do, right? And then I went to college for four months. I enrolled in a two-year business program, right? I enrolled in a two-year program.  This is business. This is business you just do, right? Because I already had it. I was already doing business, right? So I stayed in four months, right? And did business. And I realized business is just business. You just do business. The best way to do business, to learn business is to do business, right? Instead of giving a college university money to do it, right? Within reason. There's certain things you can learn.  Got my geophysics degree, honors co-op geophysics degree with minor mathematics. Once I figured out us exactly what I want to do. That's my story.

They are Making this an official VGC qualifying tournament for all countries around the world We'll get into the details in a minute to play in a kind of championship cup Which they are running later in the air So it's a little series of tournament qualifiers. They'll be running now There'll be one now one in July, and then I think we'll get into the details in a minute The the actual event will be in August so as you can see all the links will be down in the description below And but we'll navigate over to the the Pokemon website. You can see here play Pokemon players cup That's what we're calling their online tournament for Pokemon not only VGC But we've got TCG as well poking as well So it's like all the the big three are gonna be featuring in this tournament So masters division competitors in the Pokemon TCG poking tournament DX and sword and shield Using obviously the 2020 video game championships format will have the chance to prove They're the very best in this prestigious new online tournament So very exciting very exciting because we've obviously had some members of the community putting on absolutely incredible tournaments over the past few months while the Lockdown situations been going on so massive props to them Pokemon company now getting involved with this So very exciting and especially because it's an official event as well The Pokemon players cup not only will give event Give you the chance to show your among the strongest competitors in the world But you can also look forward to watching lots of high-level matches between top players So it's giving us the indication that we will be able to spectate Some of these tournaments. I don't know how but that is also very exciting The Pokemon players cup will have two stages in July Eligible players will compete in a double elimination bracket broken down by rating zones to determine the top players from each rating zone Then those top finishing will finish off in a final stage of Pokemon players cup in August So you there there we go. We've got the preliminary preliminary rounds coming up a week starting Friday Tomorrow and then in July we're going to have a further double knockout elimination bracket and then in August we'll have kind of the final penultimate event of this Players cup which is very exciting. So it's in three stages. Um So, uh, where we going? qualify for the players cup through rankings on the june leader board In the pokemon trading card game online. So that'll be online Pokemon sword and shield competitions will qualify through the International challenge may online competition which runs from May the 21st like I said a week tomorrow Friday and we'll use the 2020 video game championship format, which is just the current vgc ruleset Which is series four again, that'll be linked down in the description below I'm sure a lot of you that already play vgc or follow my vgc content. I'll be familiar with the rules So you'll be fine there make sure to bring your a game to these upcoming qualifiers and dx pokemon tournament players are able to register directly for the first stage of the Players cup at a future date. So that is yet to be announced um Each of the pokemon tcg pokemon dx and pokemon sword and shield competitions will kick off with a special Invitational event this the winners will qualify for the final stage Of the pokemon players cup. So make sure to follow along masters of vision competitors In the sword and shield video game championship. So that's what we're kind of really concentrating down on today We'll need to finish among the top eligible trainers in their current rating zone for the mate international challenge to qualify for the pokemon Players cup your rating zone will be where you're situated in the world. Obviously if you're north america That's your rating zone if you're in europe then obviously it kind of goes along the lines of you know Where you are in the world that is your rating zone. So um north america though the top 256 rated players in the mate challenge next week will qualify for the stages in july The top 256 from europe again will qualify for the july double elimination bracket oceana. So that would be australia That side of the world they have the top 128 and then latin america. So that's obviously south america Mexico and places like that will be the top 256 Same as europe and north america. So good luck to qualifying players and the players cup trainers practice hard so you can prove Only master division players who have opted in to participating in available play pokemon programs are eligible to participate in the Play program on players cup online tournaments. So this is what i'm saying if you have if you have not or if you have got a Player account for to play play pokemon. So you've got a trainer id This is what you need So if you're brand new to vgc what you need to go over to is pokemon.com and register to get a player id Now that player id is what you need to link up with your sword and shield copy of the game And you can do that all on the play pokemon website So the link to the play pokemon website obviously be down in the description again If any of you guys need a hand with that just message down in the description the comment section I'm quite happy to help you guys out with that. Um, I've already got a player id So I can't really show you the examples of how to do it in this video, but I'm sure you'll be fine. It's pretty easy to do just registering and then linking your game Whichever game you'll be playing with with your trainer id. Okay So, um, I'm assuming that you'll only be able to play with one copy of the game against your one id In this so it won't be like multiple copies of the game. Um now getting on to the may international Challenge, uh, we can take a look at this This is just on the switch so you can come over and take a look at the details here Um, as you can see nice artwork because we've now got gengar and my champ and all the gang involved here So the signup period.

So don't worry about that. Um, obviously the juniors Can obviously participate in this but they're not in the players cup, unfortunately Um, not eligible for it yet. Hopefully we'll get one in the future where we get seniors and juniors involved as well as the masters Um, this just outlines what division you would be in ranking results will be in may I guess they're normally the tuesday or the wednesday after the tournament finishes Um, and then just a little bonus participation gift participation gift if I can speak it's been a long day Been at work. Give me a break. Um, I'm only kidding. We do get another casual tea It's the ultra ball guy tea this time. Uh, you can complete this once. Yeah, so you get that. Um And that's it. All right. So the the format is obviously double battles You bring your team of six pick four That you'll all be leveled down either up if they're under 50 or if above 50 they'll be leveled down to 50 in the battles Um and eligible pokemon.  Uh, you can play our time, which is your time seven minutes You get 90 seconds per turn Sorry 45 seconds per turn in 90 second team preview. Uh, you can play up to 15 battles per day Um, and that will equate to 45 battles for the tournament. Okay. So there are all the details again This is on your switch. If you've got a switch, you can go over to that So to register on your switch to register for the tournament what you need to do go to your menu screen go to your Victory station and you click on battle stadium and um, this will take you through to The the victory station kind of main screen the landing page, I guess when you're connected online Um, and then what you need to do is just scroll down here to online competitions And then search for official competitions and this will search this will pop up.

Hey there chameleons, it's Camille and today I'm showing you my morning routine because my last morning routine video was three years ago and life is quite different now. So I'm gonna be taking you through what I do when I wake up, my extremely short workout routine and my beauty routine. So the first thing I do when I wake up is I open my eyes and then I close them again and question if I really want to wake up right now and when I find some self-control I open them again. I don't jump out of bed like morning people and quite honestly it's not always still morning when I get up because I have a terrible sleep schedule props to anyone who does that properly but I start my day by going on my phone because I feel like blasting the blue light into my eyes is a pretty good way to wake me up so I browse through my texts and answer the easy ones I save the group full of TikTok links for later in the day when I have the energy and then I browse through my email a bit and check the news to stay sharp. Eventually I do decide to get up which is hard because my bed is super comfortable. I sleep on a silk pillowcase to prevent frizz and I'm wearing a really comfortable outfit. This one's from Victoria's Secret Pink who's sponsoring this video so I have a few cute outfits to show you and give inspo for matching the pieces and they have really comfortable shorts that I like to wear around the house or to bed so these are the pink ones and I also like the gray ones because they're much more versatile when it comes to matching it with other pieces and the basic teas are my go-to with the bottoms. So when I start my day I take my vitamins so I can have healthy bones and I drink some water to rehydrate after sleeping and then I put some water on to boil for my tea because every day I drink at least three cups of matcha green tea because I love the taste it's full of antioxidants and it's really good for your skin. While that's steeping if it's a workout day I'll lay out my yoga mat and change into something cute so I can get myself in the mood to workout which is a method that actually helps a lot of people. I love wearing matching sets like this gray one because it makes me feel like my whole life is put together and I also like the little ventilation spots and the detail. If you aren't into matching sets you can go for staples like a solid black top that could go with almost any bottoms. I love these red workout types because the cut is very flattering but the outfit I'm going to workout in today of course had to be the peach tights which I paired with a simple white sports bra. Pretty much I do some stretching then a seven minute workout because it's winter and I really cannot bring myself to walk all the way outside to the gym while the warmth transfer my body just to do something I'm not super excited about. So I compromised and decided that a bite size workout is more manageable and I'm much more likely to stick to it since I only really enjoy working out when it's warm and by now my tea is ready so I'll have some of that then take a shower and do pretty much everything in there the tea just hit the right temperature so I'll be enjoying that while it's warm and then all the other normal shower stuff like brushing my teeth getting soapy and doing some skincare and hair if it's a wash day and just enjoying the water on my skin. After that it's pretty much just settling into my work day which changes all the time but a lot of the time it's replying to emails editing or filming. I like to wear something comfortable especially since I work from home and Victoria's Secret Pink has some great lounge wear pieces that are very soft and the joggers are by far my favorite but I also like the sweatshirts as well and then from there I get on with the rest of my day eat some food go out all that stuff so that's it for my everyday morning routine and I'd love to hear about yours in the comments down below. I hope you guys enjoyed this video if you did please consider subscribing thank you so much for watching I wish you all a happy healthy life and we'll see you in the next video kisses

That'll be a second. Let's see if we can make something fun here. Whew. it's coming in clear captain is it buffering now is it buffering now be better in a second I made that same mistake the other day too can someone tell me if yes that's good we're good okay Bowie hi welcome fam yes I have the crazy hair if you're still buffering just back out and come back into the back out put it back in yeah the online yes hey Pamela those color filters are bad I do you have a filter on it I had like four or five oh okay I was making that was yeah well you show everyone these amazing coasters that Nina sent me our friend Nina from Australia made us these she's the one that made Kujo's glass piece look how nice these are these are like super clean super light look how nice that looks I think she spray painted them they're nice they almost like you could like I feel like if I didn't know her I'd be like she bought these in some store right there's super nice super clean molds for them and they look like this so you can hit up Nina on shattered shapes I'll have to look up her exact website and link you but she is in the poor people's Facebook group hello Chris how are you and you can find that there no idea what it cost she sent me this to review along with this beautiful set of coasters so today I'm going to try my head at these bad boys and I will unmold them real tomorrow so I started out with the stone coat our coats holy Christmas I never catch alive caught two in a row whoo whoo so can you see what I'm during so funny this screen is just slowly like it's one of my favorite shirts actually wear it out in public it's not just an art shirt hi Heather how are you doing so I'm starting out with some clear because I feel like if you're gonna have a free form anything it should be based in clear tink tink cheers cheers well I'm glad you're here Heather as well as everyone else in the fam that's tuned in I feel like if we had a show coming up I would want to make like a billion of these billions billions bro yep bro so because I like mine mostly clear I feel like there's no point in having a free form if you can't see through it y'all there's apparently something going on in our basement and they have little fruit flies everywhere like they are everywhere it's really frustrating don't make don't make me open up a bottle of wine Jeff rusty get you a bottle of wine do it Bowie what are you doing why do you always explore when we're live he's always he never goes over there and then we're live and he's like I don't think I'm gonna go check this out over here I'm gonna see what I can do to get in trouble but not until adventure time so for these coasters I made up eight ounces of resin wait yes eight ounces of resin I thought I was gonna add like four colors but it looks like that is not true that's how you clean your linoleum put some resin down um Joe fish I will find out how much she charges and let y'all know I'm using a new color today what are the shapes to my right these are accidental not hexagons and I have these set up in case I have any leftover I made the first time I made coasters on the laser and I thought I just I would just do by eyesight just by how a how a hexagon looks is that a hexagon a honeycomb yeah and it just was not right I eyeballed it wrong but they're pretty cool like they're fun they look right from here but if you turn it turn one of those turn one of the middle ones like you could see it now you gotta I'm zoomed in a lot nope over here up yeah turn it yeah see it's like off just a little bit it's like oblong I've been an artist pretty much all my life since I can remember parting he woke up like that sorry for that for us the mold came from our friend Nina in Australia website link down in the description I'm also using a new color tint from color obsession it is deep ocean so you just filled it up already blue not all the way up but I wanted to be mostly clear with I'm also using snow white by color obsession the paste because I I'm not gonna be able to swipe it and I can't manipulate it that much so we're going with regular paste mixing just a little bit of gold and I also have a little bit of ginger balloon from resin art I don't think I have this color on stock yet I might but I don't think I do it is on order either way also whenever I use powders I really load them up probably not trying to lower this so you guys can get a little closer y'all Bowie lifted his leg when I walked him earlier today my little boy is growing up basically that was his first steps is that a moon mold I spy with my eye a moon mold no the green one is not a moon mold that is a a geomold that was made by La Croix she's actually gonna be sending me some to review for you guys as well stay tuned for that all right let's hit it with some heat get this show started in the grass videos awesome because that's 100% Bowie all the time so if you've got time and also some casting epoxy this will work better with casting epoxy because you won't have to stress about little bubbles cloudying up your work be careful when you work with silicone mold if you put too much down you may work your mold and then when you try to take your shape out your resin will stick to it even if it's fully set so let's add some glues you know what because of the shape I also want to do like a pie poster set it's gonna happen like strawberries I'm gonna do that soon what's up Bowie feeling left out and unloved shirt I mean I can't pick you up right now where's my phone wasn't so touchy sorry about the super up close what what do you need attention Jennifer I don't use a release spray because resin automatically comes off of silicone so it's not really necessary that looks fun no they don't have or those fun oh those are on the face what'd you do inside that was like the perfect little dip then you got a little color in your hair mm-hmm all right you guys pro tip if you ever get resin in your hair immediately stop what you're doing and take an alcohol red luckily I'm using stone coat so I can finish this whole piece and then go wash my hair and it'll be just fine hi fun times all right I'm gonna drizzle some white in there the fun thing about this white is it's gonna sink kind of whoops I am just coconut oil and conditioner bumbling through all of this Bowie come here buddy Bowie you want this fun coconut oil and conditioner I will get on that too what's up Rizzo I have drilled down the straw when doing resin art that's turns out not cute all right I'm gonna clean up this edge I don't know if it makes a difference but I'm gonna this is probably not the cheapest mold since it comes from Australia so I want to keep it well taken care of even if I didn't do this I could probably just peel off these little resin drips after it sets up that was fun I feel like it's gonna look kind of like a Petrie but without the risk of it fading over time you look how fun they all look blowing I know who I would just leave that yeah oh yeah put some gold in there I would do it along the edges like so it drips like along the edges probably gonna spray paint these edges gold anyways so why not do a little something like this blow it can you please tell me how to hang rounds with the gold's gonna sink and float at the same time I know that sounds really weird but it's true and once we do a close-up we'll show you what I mean by that that's fun sorry about that y'all see how it's sinking and floating you can see where it's touching the bottom and where that shine is on the top and you guys notice when she when she puts the stir stick in there and makes a design she wipes it off every time because I don't want to transfer the color frost artists for life that is what is that gold I think it's 007 from color obsession hello Amber how are you Daphne we got it from our friend Nina Nina and Australia she sells and I'm gonna put them you need to put some heat on that I would do the fire I don't want to do the fire because that looks great babe look at this look how the like it's all these are gonna be beautiful they're like a beautiful pizza pie like a slice of pie looks like I have enough resin left to do I'm cuz there maybe to I'm lucky I'm gonna mix a drop of stone coat white into my white that I have here and if you guys get our coasters make sure you take only one side of the paper off there is a that that brown that you see there is a brown film underneath just take one side off and leave the other side on until it dries so that way when you're done with it it peel right off on the back and it'll be nice and clean so I put a drop of stone coat into this Bowie look at him he never comes over here unless we're here Bowie he's tearing something up he loves to tear stuff up I tell you what you see this you see what she means when it says it was sinking and some is floating you can see that there see it's at the bottom and some is up top it's gonna look really nice these are gonna be some of those it's cool to see how it looks either way these look kind of trash right now but give me a second yeah but that looks cool already though I have a process when you do that from the middle when it's just regular and then this swipes what's up JJ it happens what are you gonna do much beautiful baby much beautiful thank you thank you very much my signature gold Swiss piece day in it I think they're 007 right now and stop believe do the lure just want to see if it'll sell it's looking like marbles you're mixing it no it still looks good this is starting to give me those little thanks JJ they're on specs I think maybe those are beautiful yeah perfect right there look at that y'all yeah that's really nice babe then the other one just hold it over that one you just did there you go very nice babe very nice very good job also last thing real quick I want to show you guys this sorry I don't know why my phone does that like I I I pinch it I don't even move my fingers I just put my fingers down like I'm gonna pinch it and then do the pinch move and it just goes zoom in zoom out I don't know why so this mold is from look rock it's you can pull it up right in front and I love it because it's like it's massive for a mold you know and I did one of these I didn't know that I had any teal in there but it like comes out awesome I'll get a link for these as well for you guys that's awesome vamp anyways she's gonna send me a couple more of these to try I actually jacked this one from Judy she was kind enough to let me borrow with shit so this was art coat it was left over from working on my dad's nope it was left over from the ocean alcohol ink tray anyways it's awesome because it's got like texture in some areas and it's smooth where it needs to be it's matte where it needs to be and shiny where it needs to be also I want to show you guys where I met with my dad's tray I just finished it and I'm putting together the video right now the time lapse it's about a billion pounds and let me put it down I made this frost I'm not sure why it wouldn't let you but this is pretty deep tray and I took flowers from my dad's memorial and flowers from all the bouquets that were sent to me and my family condolence bouquets after I dried these bad boys for about a month and sealed it all in resin and put some gold leaf in I did get a couple of odd bubbles in there like that guy and that guy but I think those look really neat just suspended in there along with all the gold and flowers and all of that these rainbow flowers came from Jen she said I think you need some color in your world and she was correct and so I wanted to pass it along I'm gonna give this to my mom I don't know that she's watching right now if she is mom this is for you it's present welcome so it's a little bit of the fam for my mom it's alright Cynthia it happens I can show you the piece my house is almost clean isn't that awesome thanks Sherry I'm putting together the video right now so this that's the tray lights turned on unfortunately my piece shifted while it was setting so it's not as amazing as it once was but I still think it looks like a stormy wave and I really like it those are glitter glass it's not divots Chris I would use quick coat from stone coat it comes with like a thickening agent so that it won't run out and it sets up really quickly I still like it I just wish it stayed where I put it but it's still really visually awesome I think so that's that one all the resin paint that I still need to put up who just taken a nap Bowie is following me around the house so yeah my pleasure artistically random what up sweet sour cream anyways I'm gonna let this set up for a couple more days and then I will be sending it off to my mom she has no idea unless she's watching right now my sister is the only one other than y'all that know so Rachel for alcohol inks I would wait you don't have to wait that long wait till it's completely dry spray some archival spray on that looks like this give it a couple coats of this hit it with a heat gun dry it once that's set up completely after a few coats you are good to go for adding resin without it fading or blending in thanks Joe that's one of my dad's favorite flowers so it was a centerpiece in his memorial bouquets sherry wants to know when will we get to see Jeff do a 3d resin layering with airbrush in between each layer soon because let me tell y'all Jeff finally got his set up over here done hope it's not buffering too bad for y'all exactly vamp so this is his airbrush studio Vaz's own computer for filming his own monitor to read questions his camera set up that was a gift from the fan all his markers and spray paints and airbrush stuff ready to go paints that's my um clay box I did so be what airbrush do you recommend slash use I always recommend the I what up lips gravity feed it's always nice the siphon fed is it's just as good but it takes a little more pressure to use that because you're basically sucking the paint out through the little jar that you put underneath it but I love that I want a click second federal gravity feed is either good it's true look at that fluffy little tumble weed everyone's saying they can't wait to see you do y'all thing thanks Don I love my studio oh almost he made it okay don't push him off hey you be sweet all right I'm Cindy the coaster mold comes from

Welcome to Microterrorz. Scary stories for kids, where it's always the spooky season, full of chills, thrills, and spine-tingling spooks. Microterrorz are family-friendly frights for those ages 8 and up. And while our stories are for younger years, we are still talking about things that go bump in the night. And some children may not be able to handle what others can. Parental consent is recommended. Now, for tonight's Microterrorz. It came from the neighbor's garden by Scott Donnelly. Mom, where's my leftover sub-sandwich? I clamored, rummaging through the fridge like I was already a teenager. I'd been thinking about that sub ever since I'd gotten to school, and now that I was home, I needed it. I needed the three meats, the cheese, the mayo. It was swimming in Italian dressing somewhere in the fridge, but I just couldn't find it. Did dad eat it? I yelled to my mom, who hadn't even responded to my first question. Dad ate it, didn't he? I backed away from the fridge, feeling defeated. Of course my dad ate it. He ate everything without asking. Left over lasagna, tacos, butter. He ate it all. I closed the fridge just as my mom entered the kitchen. Did you say something, sweetie? She asked, setting a plastic bag down on the counter. Never mind, I said. Travis next door just picked these from his garden. Fresh carrots, she said. Perfect timing, too. I'm making beef stew tonight. We'd better eat as much as we can tonight before dad gets to it tomorrow. I muttered sarcastically under my breath. My mom didn't respond. She just opened the bag and shuffled through the carrots to make sure there was enough for the stew. Right then, her cell phone rang in the next room. That's probably your dad now. He should be home from work any minute now. Oh good, I said, keeping the sarcasm up. I better have a snack now then before I miss my opportunity. My mom chuckled as she left the kitchen, but I felt like she didn't even know what she was chuckling about. I heard her answer the phone in the living room, and it sounded like it was indeed my dad. I opened the fridge again, this time accepting the fact that I might have to settle for a pudding or yogurt. I didn't want those, I wanted my sub. Just then I heard a soft rustling behind me, a crinkling of plastic. I turned around and saw the bag of freshly picked carrots from the neighbor, moving across the counter. My eyes went wide. I trailed off.  I jumped back. Something was in that bag. A rodent of some kind, perhaps? A chipmunk? A mole? Wait, of course. A rabbit. Rabbits liked carrots. They loved them. Somehow a rabbit had slipped into the bag unnoticed and was eating the carrots. It was like a dad version of a rabbit eating everyone else's food. I don't think so, dad. A rabbit. I shouted, smacking my hand down on the bag to stop it and then opening it up. Mom! I shouted, we're about to have a rabbit running around. I stopped talking when I peered into the bag. There was no rabbit, just carrots. Was I going crazy? I know what I saw. I saw. I stopped again when something bizarre happened inside the bag. I saw an eyeball, small like a googly eye. Then another one opened and another. Soon there were five squishy eyes blinking at me all at different times. They were on one of the carrots. A sideways mouth filled with chipped orange teeth opened on it next and then it hissed at me. I lifted my hand from the bag and backed away, not believing what I was seeing. The bag moved again as the carrot, deformed with two orange trunks acting as legs, came scampering out of the bag and onto the counter. It turned one way and then the other, taking in its surroundings. It finally focused on me and hissed again its eyes dipped and then it lunged off the counter. I ducked and it flew directly over me, blasting into my mom just as she was walking back into the kitchen. She screamed as the carrot clung to her dress and quickly climbed up to her face. It hissed at her too and she screamed again, louder. I had to act quickly. I grabbed the closest thing to me, a frying pan and wildly swung at the carrot. I accidentally blasted my mom across the face. She fell to the ground and I panicked. Oh no! Mom! I yelled, dropping the frying pan and kneeling down at my mom's side. The carrot hit the ground too but scurried away into the living room.  She was clearly dazed by the sudden blast. What happened? She said, barely able to speak. It was a carrot, I said, with five eyes and a mouth. What are you talking about? She stammered. In the living room, the radio turned on. Oh my god! I said, it's listening to music! The radio changed channels until a hard rock station blared. It's jamming, I exclaimed. I stood up and barged into the living room. On the shelf was our radio. The carrot stood next to it, rocking out to the song, but turned and phased me when I entered the room.  I was able to duck just in time, but once again, it collided with my mom and wrapped itself up in her hair. She screamed and started running around the living room in circles as the rock music continued to jam. What kind of freak vegetables was Travis growing next door? And why would he even consider giving us one of them? Next time he needed his lawnmower or yard rate, he had another thing coming. Stop droppin' roll, mom! I shouted. She heard me and dropped to the ground and rolled around until she hit the wall. The carrot dislodged from her hair and scampered back into the kitchen. I chased it down, but lost track of it. I scoured the floor, the counters, the top of the fridge. Nothing. I opened a drawer and pulled out a meat cleaver, the perfect carrot shopping tool. I heard the front door open and my dad walked in. Oh, my favorite song! I heard him say. Honey, why are you on the floor? Why is your hair all messed up? Dad, watch out! There's a carrot loose! I yelled at him. He came into the kitchen and sat his work bag down on the counter. Carrot? He asked. What are you talking about? It has eyes! I screamed. Five of them! My dad squinted. Are you talking about a potato? Potatoes have eyes, son. Not carrots. Remember, we've been through this before. The carrot beamed out from the fruit basket on the counter and straightened my dad's face. Everything fell into slow motion. No! He screamed. Instinctively, I swung the meat cleaver through the air and seamlessly hit my target. The blade sliced down through the carrot, splitting it in half. It hit the floor. Both sides of it went limp. I took a deep breath before getting on my knees and chopping the rest of it up until it was nothing but a fine orange dust. My dad stood in shock. My mom remained sprawled out on the floor, her hair a wreck. And me?  I wasn't sure if it was a freak of nature, grown on cursed grounds, bad fertilizer, or just Travis conducting bizarre experiments to create super creepy foods. One thing was for sure. I would never eat anything else that ever came out of my neighbor's garden. I looked up to make sure my dad was okay. And that's when my worst fear had been realized. My dad had found my leftover sub-sandwich from somewhere in the fridge and was already sinking his teeth down into his first bite. Thank you for listening to Mike Rothera's.

Like all my wife and say babes babes babes, you know, I got it. I got it. I got the loan grant I want to get this I'm going to get that and we're going to start doing this and okay So my name is Kevin Marshall from Rivermita Moshi And I've established a small business KGM custom gift scraps on events my three daughters and What I noticed year after year. There was always this Need to complete a project sometimes more than one project we've been a month and the project So always something that you had to do physically with your hand And I would go online search at these crafts and I would try to do what I saw in the craft And then I realized that it's something that you know, it's actually a business. I was like why can't I tap into that market? So first I tried to do this business on my own. I mean limited funds and you know It started and then I realized that you really need access to funds to really get this where it needs to be I tried to go to the banks on what they were Giving was not on par with having other financial obligations. So I'm it was kind of difficult to actually obtain additional funding When I heard about the MSM here was like boom opportunity. I could make something actually happen You know, I could make this dream actual reality. So Let's go for it. I got a new heat press new printers. I got new paraphernalia I got stuck so I could have stuck on hand instead of actually going out and trying to put this on demand. So I Try to get everything needed so I could start business as soon as it is I think that's the greatest opportunity someone will start in out especially for the startups can hope for I mean, it's very difficult. I find tools to start out on your own and to try to do business on your own With the loan grant the opportunity that came with getting the equipment and getting to Jump off on the bat. I always try to show the children that you could you know aspire to be anything you want to be And I think that I would dream they have follow it aspire to be it and do give up
