Welcome to Championship Island! On the western islands are the Detroit Lions and the San Francisco 49ers. On the eastern islands are the Baltimore Ravens and the Kansas City Chiefs. And in the middle is Super Bowl Island. These teams will be battling in a Best of Seven series. The winner conquers their island, poaches three players from the losing team, and heads to Super Bowl Island, where of course they will be competing for the biggest prize of all, the Super Bowl Trophy. The very first Best of Seven series will be the Western Islands. The Detroit Lions headed into San Francisco's territory to determine the winners of the NFC. Now, yes, I am obviously biased, but I can't let that impact the outcome of today. The Lions are in 86 overall, the Niners are in 91. Let's play ball. It's a clear day at Levi's Stadium. Jared Goff. He beat Matthew Stafford, he beat Baker Mayfield, and now he takes on Brock Purdy. Brandon Ayub, Debo Samuel, George Kittle, and a stacked Niners roster in their home stadium. On the San Fran side, Brock Purdy, the last overall pick. Everybody doubted this man, and here he is in the NFC championship. This is NBA rules though. This is a Best of Seven series. So winning just one game isn't going to cut it. The first quarter is all San Fran. Detroit's got a field goal. San Fran's got 14, Detroit's got 10, 21-10, 21-13. It's a very high scoring match. Detroit does put a field goal in here. This game is not over 28-20, four minutes left in the fourth quarter, but Detroit's got to come up with a big stop, or San Fran is going to run this clock out. Brock Purdy with Christian McCaffrey in the backfield. Do they hand this off? They use the entire clock. They are going to throw deep cuts. It's not quite the dagger, but it's pretty close. Detroit has three timeouts and the two-minute warning, but San Fran just punched their ticket to field goal range. Next up, this might be a handoff from Brock Purdy to Christian McCaffrey. It's not another pass. Risky. Brian Branch, don't go celebrating. You should have intercepted that. This also stops the clock. Second and 10, handoff to CMC. The best running back in the league has 14 rushes, 138 yards in touchdown. Oh my God. A jank moody field goal, put San Fran up 31-20. The Lions got to get down score and get the onside. A nice check down to Sam Laporta. Second and one. Really running out of clock. You've got to go deep. Amundra St. Brown on the right with Jameson Williams. Jameer Gibbs in the backfield. It's play action. Goff, you got to let go of it. He does. End zone. It's caught, but there's a flag. If Jameau went out of the end zone, he can't establish himself back in bounds. Illegal touching. You know what's crazy? I got arrested once for illegal touching. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Now the Lions know that they need two possessions. So rather than taking another hair, Mary, they're going to kick this field goal and go for an onside kick. It's a galaxy brain play, but only if you get the onside kick here. Otherwise, the score just looks a little worse. The biggest play of the game, the onside kick. A dribbler easily handled. This game is over. Game one goes to San Francisco. Goff and Purdy both had excellent, very fluid games, but Purdy threw for two touchdowns. Goff only for one on the ground. The difference maker was Christian McCaffrey in this game. Unstoppable 15 carries, 136 yards, nine yards per carry and a huge touchdown. McCaffrey was going crazy. Josh Reynolds had seven receptions, 56 yards. I find this funny because in real life, Josh Reynolds has been amazing in the playoffs and he kind of came out of nowhere. Josh Reynolds was not a big factor in the regular season and it showed up even here. No interceptions, a sack for Nick Bosa and Hargrave and one for Derek Barnes. 1-0 series lead, San Fran. Game two is underway and this one is not high-sweat. I was saying it's not high-scoring and they just started scoring 10-7 lead for Detroit. This is a low-scoring game. Nobody can get in there until San Fran makes it 14-10. In the fourth quarter, now Detroit has the ball, 23-31 in the first matchup. This one's looking like. I hope you bet the under. A huge drive for the Lions. Goff finds Jameson Williams in bounds. Second and two, Jared Goff over the middle of the San La Porta. Goff with a very similar stat line, 22 for 27-2-40 in a touchdown. But this time they have an opportunity to put this game away potentially on this final drive depending on how they use this clock. David Montgomery in the backfield. This time he's going to get the pass here. Does not break the tackle. Second and nine, Goff. Check down, caught. Fred Warner's there but not after six yards, third and three. Bunch left, two receivers to the right, empty backfield. Jared Goff, unloads, caught. I'm so obviously biased, sorry guys. First time out for Detroit is used. Jared Goff finds La Porta again. It's been all Sam La Porta in these clutch plays here. First in goal, Jared Goff. Oh, Chase Young gets through. Down, Goff goes and that clock is ticking. Detroit uses their final timeout. Third in goal, they've got two more opportunities. No first downs available. It's a slip screen. What are we calling? And you got to go no huddle. You have to go no huddle. This is the final play of the game. Fourth in goal, you have to go end zone. Come on, Goff. I'm not biased. I'm not biased. I don't care who wins. I'm not biased. It's fine. Detroit just lost that game. What are we doing, fellas? Brock Purdy completed five passes and got a win. Oh my God. Jared Goff, 29 completions. Brock Purdy, 5. Another McCaffrey legacy game, 150 yards on... Oh my goodness. Stop it. Amunra, 112 in a duddy. 2-0 series lead goes to the Niners. Game three. If the Lions lose here, this might seal their fate. 7-0, 10-0, 10-7, 17-7, 17-14. The Lions make this 17 to 20 and they have the ball. They could take the lead here. Start of the fourth quarter. Detroit is approaching the Red Zone down three. Unloads, caught. Nice work, J-mo. 2nd and 6 in the Red Zone. Hand off David Montgomery. He shoots. I was about to say. I was going to say he's down with the 1. He made it through. David Montgomery gives Detroit the lead. Can they hang on to it? San Frans on the 36. They're down by 4. And on 4th and 1, they're trotting Jake Moody out there. I guess they're hoping they can stop Detroit once again and get the ball back. Ironically, this is exactly how the Rams lost to the Lions was not going for it here. Wow, really? Nope, nope. Shanahan thought it over at the 2-minute warning. They are going for it. Hand off McCaffrey. And for the first time, this Lions defense is able to contain Christian McCaffrey and it looks like it might lead to a win. Detroit able to convert a first down, a reception to Sam Laporta.  Let's sim to the end. I think this is just three QB Neals. It is. Dan Campbell in a very scary 2-0 scenario makes this series 2-1. Brock Purdy with honestly a really solid game once again. Jared Goff's worst game so far and it resulted in the victory. Here's the difference. David Montgomery was a monster on the ground and Christian McCaffrey was nowhere near those first two games. So if the Lions can contain McCaffrey, they can win these games. That's definitely the difference maker here. Josh Reynolds putting up a very impressive performance once again. Kittle and Debo were the best for the Niners. Moving on to game four. San Fran could take a commanding 3-1 lead. Detroit could tie this up with a lot of momentum. It's 14-10. Now 21-10, 21-13, 21-19. This is really going to come down to it. San Fran puts one more in. The Niners having nine point lead. Detroit has to put in a touchdown here and then stops San Fran on the ensuing drive. Three timeouts to two-minute warning on their side. Second and eight. Let's see what Jared Goff has got. You really don't want to fall to 3-1. Unloads deep. Caught instantly, but he's down. Debo was a little bit behind J-Mo. He had to reverse to get to it. That took him to his knees. This will probably bring up. No, they go no huddle, no two-minute warning used. If they score right here right now or incomplete, this will be huge for clock management. Got to score right now. Go for it. Go for it. Horrifying pass. Second and goal. Goff checks down. Montgomery, one man to beat. Dragged out of bounds. That's the two-minute warning used. Detroit's on the three. It's going to come down to one defensive stop, but Detroit's got to score the touchdown first. Bunch left. Gibbs in the backfield. Quick pass over the middle. Broken up by Drake Rielaw. Wow. I'm really shocked with this good of field position. The Lions are going to take a field goal. This does make it a six-point game, but if the Niners get in field goal range now, the game is over. Don't count Detroit out quite yet. San Fran is up by six, and that's Wischnowski. They could not move the ball. They're going to punt it to Detroit right here. So Jared Goff could lead a game-winning drive with one time out. Turns out the field goal was the right call. First and 10. Lions got one time out. It's a slip screen. They love the slip screen. Amazing blocks. That's a first down to start this out. Goff and the Lions are in no huddle. Adjust over a minute left. Trying to cross the 50. Goff, another check-down. I don't know.  Down to 45 seconds. I don't like this clock management. I don't like this at all. You need the tutty. You need it all. Hey, at least that incompletion stops the clock. Jared Goff, we need you to step up right here right now. Fourth and eight. The game on the line. Play action. Who's going to bite on them's end zone?  Jamo gets in, but this game still isn't over. That was an amazing find. The comeback route pulled the zone safety down. Jamo gets behind him. He's lost in the sauce, and that's a touchdown. Big one. Keep in mind it is 28 to 28. San Fran has all three timeouts, and there's 26 seconds. P.A.T. is good. Momentum is on Detroit side. They have a one-point lead, but Brock Purdy's got a couple of throws here and two timeouts to get them in fugal range. This game is not over. Second and 14. Brock Purdy can beat the allegations right here. He can beat the mid-quarterback allegations. Not with a pass like that. That is an in-bounds tackle. San Fran forced to use a timeout. Oh, that's big. In case you guys are wondering, I'm recording this before the real-life NFC Championship, so if you notice any similarities in the games, let me know. Obviously, the Lions are going to beat the Niners in real life, though. It's pretty much a given. Potentially the last play of the game. And they run that big slip screen. Why is everyone so obsessed with slip screen? Oh, my God. This game is over. This was undoubtedly Brock Purdy's best game. 19 for 25. Four touchdowns. No interceptions. Golf through an interception, but the Lions still found a way to win this game. And this was by Far McCaffery's worst game. It basically, this entire game comes down to Krish McCaffery. If he goes off, they win. If he lays an egg, they lose. Jameau with a huge game. Julan Jennings with a huge game. It was to Sean Gibson with the interception. A crucial game here. All tied up. Two games apiece. It's game five. Let's go. Lions are on the board first. 7-0. Now it's all tied up. Now 14-7. Now 14-14. A lot of scoring here. 17-14. 24-14. 21-24. The Lions up by three. They burnt all of San Fran's timeouts, but it is 3-5. So potentially if San Fran gets the stop here, Lions would have to kick a field goal, make it 27-21, and Brock Purdy would have another chance to lead a game-winning drive, although this one is without any timeouts. The Lions are going for the end zone. And it's caught! In the back of the end zone, Jared Goff finds Josh Reynolds, the playoff demon. Oh my, got Lions are on a 3-0 game-winning run. Started this best of seven series by losing the first two. I bet you all thought it was over, huh? 31-21 lead, no timeouts for San Fran, and 42 seconds. It would take a miracle. Spoiler alert, they did not get the miracle. Dan Campbell and the Lions win game five, take a 3-2 series lead. This was Jared Goff's best game, 25 for 33 touchdowns. Brock Purdy's worst game never found the end zone, but I gotta say throughout this entire five game series, Brock Purdy is thrown either zero or one interception. Very impressive by him. Jamo and Amonra combined for 253 yards. Amonra with two touchdowns, that is a monster game right there. Game five goes to the Lions, game six. If the Lions win here, they seal it and they head to the final island, and they're starting with a 14-0 lead. That momentum is real, 17-3 lead. 24-3, 31-3. The Lions are smacking the Niners. He just lost four straight games and the Lions are moving on. Goff and Purdy with pretty similar stat lines here, 267-266. Brock Purdy throws his first interception in the winner-go-home game and take a look at Christian McCaffrey.  It really is that simple. Josh Reynolds, another amazing game, same for Amonra. And the interception from the rookie linebacker out of Iowa, Jack Campbell. Hell yeah. The Lions have conquered the West Island and they move on to the Super Bowl Island where they will await either the Baltimore Ravens or the Kansas City Chiefs. And for beating the 49ers, the Lions get to steal three players. Player number one will be Christian McCaffrey. Player number two is Fred Warner and player number three is George Kittle. Those three players are also now the top three highest overall players on the Lions. McCaffrey, Kittle, Warner. Then it's Penae Sewell, Amonra, St. Brown, Frank Ragnow, Aidan Hutchinson. Now we head over to the East Islands where the Kansas City Chiefs are headed to Baltimore to take on the 92 overall Ravens. This is going to be an absolute battle in the seven-game series. Let's see what these teams are made of. We're at M&T Bank Stadium. Weather shouldn't be a factor. Both of these teams know how to play in the cold. The difference from the East and West Islands is so funny to me. Jared Goff and Brock Purdy. A lot of people don't think they even belong being here. And then on the East Islands, you have two Hall of Fame bound quarterbacks. Lamar Jackson and the Ravens. Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. Two incredible coaches as well. Andy Reid and Harbaugh. God, I love football, baby. Game one is underway. It's all defense in the first quarter. Ravens are the first to score. Chiefs respond. It's 10-7. It's 10-14. Ravens are up. Chiefs are now up. Ravens tie it up. Chiefs get a touchdown. The very first game is going to be an excellent one. You got to love that. Baltimore is down by seven points in game one. They've got the ball on the 27 and three timeouts. They absolutely can punch this in, but will they go for two if they get there? Harbaugh is a risky coach. I think he'd do it. Lamar over the middle, the Zay flowers caught. There's a minute 50 on the clock and it is ticking. On the 20, they just got to the red zone. Lamar finds Mark Andrews. Just kidding, that is not Mark Andrews. That is Charlie Kolar, everybody. I do not know ball. Second and two. This is a read option. Lamar keeps it and he gets across the 10. Lamar Jackson with a QB keeper. Now, Baltimore wants to use as much clock as they can here because if they score, they got to give the ball back to the Kansas City Chiefs with three timeouts zone. Odell Beckham Jr. catches it, but I don't know. You might have given Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs a little too much time. Do you bring out Justin Tucker to tie this game up? Or do you go for two here? Lamar is still on the field. They're determining the game right now. If the Chiefs stop the Ravens, this... Oh, I lied. I'm a fraud. Out comes Justin Tucker. Wow, I really thought they were going to do it. 24 to 24. Baltimore's got all the momentum, but the Chiefs could put this game away right here with a field goal. Interception! What is Kansas City doing? They threw the ball there? I was simming because I thought they were going to check in for the field goal. I think Baltimore might already be in field goal range now. Game one is looking like an epic comeback by the Ravens. If they can close this out, luckily you do have the greatest kicker of all time. So this is almost guaranteed. All right, first in 10, right over the middle of the Ravens are still passing. I take it back. They were not in field goal range. I had my fields flipped.  I thought the Ravens were already in field goal range, but they just got into field goal range. First in 10, this is kind of the equivalent to a victory formation. Ravens are just going to hand this puppy off and take this W here. Hand off to Gus the bus. He's going to get eight yards. That's a KC timeout. 24 to 24. Andy Reid, ISIS Justin Tucker. I got to be honest, I don't think it works on a guy like that. Game one, decided by this kick, he's the go man. He's the go for a reason. Baltimore. That was almost blocked. That really was almost blocked. Takes this game by a hair. Lamar 30 for 41. A lot of passing. Two touchdowns in an interception. Mahomes one touchdown, two interceptions. Pacheco and Lamar both with great games on the ground. Travis Kelsey, amazing game. Same for Zay Flowers and shockingly, Kaderi Stoney. Trent McDuffie, Kyle Hamilton, Marlin Humphrey, all with interceptions. Game one in the books. Baltimore takes a 1-0 series. Lead. Let's move on to game two. 14-7 Kansas City. Baltimore responds 17-14. Now 24-14. Now 24-21. Baltimore scores again, 31-21. This game is not over though. I just watched the Ravens come back from this. Game two down 10. Mahomes finds MVS, but that clock is still ticking. You got to get in this end zone quick. 28 to 31. Then you've got three timeouts. To slow the Ravens, but that's a sec. A corner blitz off the edge. Mahomes goes down with the clock ticking. That was massive. Third in goal. Mahomes, you got to go end zone right here. Right now he does. Comes in clutch to Kaderi Stoney, who does catch it. That was wild. This will be 28-31. Now you got to stop the Ravens. And they stop the Ravens. Unthrown in inches. They TFL Lamar Jackson. Down by three. Patrick Mahomes with no timeouts. Has an opportunity to get them in field goal range. Send this game to overtime or maybe even score a touchdown. Whoa. Whoa. I've taken back home play. If Gus Edwards slides down, two QB Niels in the games over, but just to rub it in, Gus Edwards punches this in. And the Ravens on fourth and two. Take a 10-point lead. That was so ballsy.  This ballgame ends 38 to 28. And if you're getting deja vu or you're a Concern Chiefs fan, just remember that the San Francisco 49ers took a 2-0 lead on the Lions. And now the Ravens have a 2-0 lead on the Kansas City Chiefs, 38 to 28. Mahomes and Lamar put on masterclasses. Look at these games. 430 yards, three touchdowns. Lamar, 2-80 and three touchdowns. Baltimore dominates the ground game. Baltimore gets the win. Gus Edwards, obviously, with that insanely clutch run there at the end. Let's head to game three where Kansas City really needs to find themselves a win. They start with a touchdown here, 7-0. Make it 14-0. Don't make it 21-0. Baltimore's on the board. And another 14-10. Now, 14-17. Now, 14-24. Oh, my God. We got it. We got to check in here. Baltimore looking to take a 3-0 series lead, utterly dominating the Kansas City Chiefs. I don't know if you guys watch or play a lot of Madden Simulation, but in Madden Simulation, Kansas City is so overpowered because their playbook is so good. And yet, I'm about to watch them fall three straight games. There's some big third-inches to churn this clock. Guess who? Gus Edwards. Every single time they get the edge, I think this game is over. Kansas City is out of timeouts. They have the two-minute warning. Baltimore needs one more first down to truly end this game, but they can still milk so much of this clock even without it. Kansas City's in a bad spot. Kansas City couldn't stop them. 27-21. These are great games, but Baltimore keeps edging it out. Lamar, another three-touchdown zero-interception game. Mahomes did throw one interception this game, and that was definitely the difference-maker. Nelson Aguilar, eight for 125 and two touchdowns. Who got the INT? It was Brandon Stevens. Madden Buike had two sacks. One for Carl Aftis. Odafe Owei coming up with a half one. Wow. We move on to game four, where I'm concerned that we're getting the brooms out. Kansas City starts with a touchdown. And another. They started last game just like this, then Baltimore put up 17 uncontested. Not this time. Kansas City is not going down without a fight. 24-14. 24-21. Baltimore just entered the red zone. Oh, boy. This isn't even about winning the seven-game series. This is about pride. If you're Kansas City, you do not want to get swept. Lamar, clean pocket unlucky. Lamar loves Isaiah likely. At the start of this, I was talking about Mark Andrews. Of course, Mark Andrews is injured. Also, a very big PAT here puts Baltimore up by four. So Kansas City is looking for a touchdown or they're headed to Cancun. Here we go. 24-28. Mahomes finds Rashi Rice. About seven yards there. Kansas City could perfectly use this clock though. Scored no time left. And just end this game here. Avoid the sweep and give themselves a chance to come back down 3-0. Huge completion there. Kansas City potentially scoring too fast here. Probably want to get a little more clock out of this. Mahomes up the middle. I swear Mahomes. They kick the PAT. And now Baltimore's got a chance to send this into overtime or just win the game outright. Lamar finds. I think that's a flower as it is. They've got a timeout. Do they use it? It looks like they did. No, they're hanging on to their timeout. They want the end zone. 2019-18. Snap the ball. Lamar. And now it looks like they're just going to gear up for the field goal. This looks like a handoff to me. Use their timeout and kick the field. That's exactly what they're going to do. Gus is going to take five. Justin Tucker drills it. We're going into overtime. Kansas City Chiefs start with the ball in overtime. Our first overtime matchup. I'm going to be honest. I don't know if Madden's simulation accurately does the NFL overtime rules. Remember that NFL regular season overtime rules are where the first team to score touchdown wins. But playoff rules, each team gets an opportunity. That's how it is in real life. I'm not exactly sure what Madden's going to give us here. I'm saying all that, assuming Kansas City scores, but they got to score first. 31-31. Clean pocket. Oh, no. Dude, that DB blitz off the edge from Baltimore is lethal. It's lethal. Mahomes. Fourth and 19. I think they have to punt. Maybe Butcher can hit 57. I don't know what they do here. They're going for the deep field goal. This means that Baltimore is getting an opportunity with the ball no matter what.  My game crashed on the kick. Not only did Harrison Butcher miss, but he missed short. He missed so short that Justice Hill returned it. I think I'm going to be honest. I'm not entirely sure what just happened, but I got to give it to Mahomes though. Mahomes has been playing amazing. I just think the Ravens have a better all-around squad, which is honestly a blessing because Lamar Jackson has been fighting for his life in Baltimore. And I finally think they've got him a worthy team of his talents. This one's a handoff to Gus Edwards. That's get him out. Get him out. Honestly, that's kind of like ball don't lie because it wouldn't have mattered if the Butcher field goal was made. Ravens just walked the touchdown and it'd be ball game the same either way. Wow. Justice Hill just kind of took this game over. That's a clean sweep for Baltimore. I did not expect that. I thought Kansas City was going to walk away with this. Mahomes ends 24 for 40 and a touchdown Lamar 27 for 34. Four passing touchdowns, 325 yards. He is insane. So on the East Island, it's Baltimore. Absolutely cleaning up the Kansas City Chiefs, not letting Mahomes breathe and they advance well rested to the Super Bowl Island. They only had to play four games and for winning their series, the Baltimore Ravens will be poaching Travis Kelsey, Chris Jones and Isaiah Pacheco. And this leads us all to Super Bowl Island where the Detroit Lions will be taking on the Baltimore Ravens in the Super Bowl. Once again, this will be a best of seven series. The Lions now have McCaffrey, Kittle, Fred Warner, as well as Penae Sewell, Amenra, Frank Ragnow, Aidan Hutchinson, CJ, GJ, Brian Branch, Jameer Gibbs, Laporta Goff and they'll be taking on a stacked Ravens team with Travis Kelsey, Lamar Jackson, Chris Jones, Roquan Smith, Marlon Humphrey, Justin Tucker, Kyle Hamilton and now Isaiah Pacheco. The entire Detroit Lions top three is completely different and the Ravens have added Kelsey and Chris Jones up there too. You'll also notice that the overalls are different. When you actually reorder the depth chart and they factor in injuries, it takes the overalls to where they're actually supposed to be. So this is an 81 overall Lions team taking on an 84 Ravens team. Allegiant Stadium, we are in Las Vegas to see Jared Goff, CMC and Amenra take on Lamar Jackson, Zae Flowers, Isaiah Pacheco and Travis Kelsey. The Lions are running out. Jared Goff taking it all in. This is not Jared Goff's first time in the Super Bowl but it is his first time as a Detroit Lion for Lamar. It's his first time ever. I'm so glad it panned out this way because this is exactly the Super Bowl matchup that I hope to see. It's a seven game series. Game one is underway. Ravens will start with the football. Here we go. Ravens start with three. Lions start with six. Ravens score a touchdown. Lions put up two quick ones and a field goal and another. It's 26 to 13, 26 to 20. First in 10, Lions ball 26-20. That's a handoff McCaffrey, but he swallowed up. Third and five, Baltimore's got no timeouts. A conversion here might be the game. That's to George Kittle and he caught it. And with no timeouts, Detroit wins the Super Bowl but they haven't won quite yet. They take a 1-0 series lead. The confetti's exciting, but we ain't done yet. Game two is underway. Lions have a 1-0 series lead. It's seven to six. Now 14 to six, 14-13. Kickers are missing P-8s. 20 to 13, 23-13. No way the Lions are really going to do this. 37 to 20. There's nothing to check in on. That was all Detroit. 37 to 27. Detroit's got a 2-0 series lead. Dude, you give Detroit Fred Warner. You give them George Kittle and Christian McCaffrey and...  I mean, you give any team those three guys and you could probably make a run. Lamar is struggling against this defense. Only one touchdown, Jared Goff three on the ground. Pacheco had 58 and two. McCaffrey 59 and two. Lamar had one on the ground. Best receiver today was Zae Flowers. Amunra had two touchdowns on three catches. 2-0 series lead. All right, 7-0 Baltimore. Now 10-0 Baltimore. They've got life left. 17 to 7. 17 to 14. 21-17. Down by four. The Ravens have to punch. So the Ravens have to stop Detroit on this drive right here. Or they're going to fall. They're going to fall to 3-0 just like Kansas City did. Here's a huge play for Baltimore's defense. 3-10. 10 yards to go. Slip screen sacked. What is with the half-back slip screen obsession? I mean, you've got McCaffrey now, but still fourth and 18. Horrible play there. Baltimore is going to get this ball back. This is the biggest drive of game three. Second and 15. A touchdown takes the lead. A field goal does you no good. Checked out to OBJ. He has certainly been here before. Now third and six after the two-minute warning. Both teams with all timeouts. You got to at least make this a manageable fourth down. You don't got to get all of it. But you got to make it manageable. And they still get all of it. That was a huge conversion on the hitch. Baltimore does not want to fall three games. First thing goal, you could use the whole clock. Punch in a touchdown here. Let's see what they do. Motions over Travis Kelsey. Hand off Gus Edwards. He's fighting. Ooh. But Brian Branch steps up and lays a huge hit on Pacheco to keep him out of the end zone. Baltimore is on the one yard line. Second and goal. It's a pass. Now third and goal. With how good the Ravens run game is, I'm really shocked to see a pass there. Maybe they were going for the shock factor. I don't know. That was a Pete Carroll-ass play call. They throw again. I guess I don't know ball. Because this one is a touchdown to Odell Beckham Jr. 24-21 lead. Detroit's got 50 seconds and three timeouts to make this happen. Michael Badgley is going to come out here. He gets iced.  It's a 51-yard field goal in game three to send this game into overtime. Michael Badgley, huge kick. It's up. It's good. 24-24. We're going into overtime. Baltimore starts with the ball. Detroit holds Baltimore to a field goal on their opening drive. So a Detroit touchdown wins this game. Not too much going for Detroit here right now. You need a big conversion right here. It's a slip screen. They're obsessed with the slip screen. Christian McCabery makes it fourth and two. Do the Lions go for this? I wouldn't tie this up. I don't know if I agree with this play call. So overtime rules, if they make this kick, now all Baltimore needs to win in overtime is another field goal.  Fourth and two. Michael Badgley has been money so far. He's still money. All right. It's 27-27 at the end of the first L.T. period in game three on Super Bowl Island. But Detroit may concede this game here. The Ravens are in field goal range. Really, they shouldn't be running any more plays. They should just kick it, and that's ballgame. Here comes Justin Tucker. This is the smart play call. And the best of all time is going to drill it right down the middle. Ravens are on the board. Lamar, another amazing game. When Lamar has a really good game, Baltimore is winning. His last two games have been trashed. Three touchdowns, but still an interception. On the ground, he almost had 100 yards on 18 carries. Pacheco, they carried the ball 35 times. No, they carried the ball 40 times, 40 rushes in that game. And they got the dub 2-1. Let's head to game four. Baltimore starts with seven. Another seven is 14. Detroit's in the end zone. Detroit's in the end zone again. It's 21-14 after half. Lions tied it up 21-21. 31 for Detroit. Hand off, CMC. Ooh, he barely got that. Detroit could take the 3-1 series lead here. If they play this well, McCaffrey. 15 rushes, 71 yards in a touchdown. Looking to hopefully get two here. Second and three. Brock right in motion, looking like a right side handoff to McCaffrey. It is. He squeezes through and gets a push. That's first in goal. Another handoff, McCaffrey. This one takes him to the two-yard line. Hand off here to McCaffrey. He can't get in. Stuffed on the goal line by that Baltimore defense, but this'll take 40 seconds off the clock. You just got to go one more handoff, right, Detroit? Hand off, McCaffrey, end zone. I'm unbiased. I don't care who wins. Touchdown for the Detroit Lions. Wow, it would be cool if they went up 3-1, but also I don't care. Baltimore can't do it. That's a 28-21 victory for the Lions, dude. The addition of McCaffrey is such an unbelievable addition. Fred Warner and Kendall also obviously are amazing, but McCaffrey continues to put up crazy numbers every single game. 28-21, Lamar solid game, but another interception. Gough with two touchdowns. McCaffrey on the ground had two touchdowns, 83 yards. He even added five receptions, 50 yards in a receiving touchdown. That is a hat trick for Christian McCaffrey in the Super Bowl. Jamo added another touchdown, and Travis Kelsey was amazing, but it's officially winner. Go home in game five for the Baltimore Ravens. In the first quarter, Baltimore starts with a touchdown, potentially adds another 14-0. Detroit can't score, and it's 21-0 in the first half. Baltimore is dominating. Detroit finally gets on the board. Baltimore responds, and this game is looking out of reach already. Honor dominance. Baltimore is not going anywhere. 28-7. Baltimore just sucked the wind out of the sails. Oh my goodness. That was a huge game. Lamar two touchdowns, no interceptions. Jared Goff just couldn't get anything going. Christian McCaffrey is boxed like a fish, and only Jamo could really get any yards in the air. It's a 3-2 series. Baltimore hangs on. Game six kicks off. It's 3-7. Now 10-7 Baltimore. Now 17-7 Baltimore. Lions get 14-17. 21-17. Wait a minute. Haven't we seen this score a few times? It is 21-17. Detroit has a 4-point lead. It's game six. It is still. Winner go home for Baltimore, but they're in the red zone. They can keep the dream alive. Lamar clean pocket finds. Mark Andrews now. What?  It's 24-21. Baltimore's got the lead. This game ain't over though. It's first and 10. Now second and three. George Kittle makes a huge catch. Detroit's in the red zone. Both teams got their timeouts. So Detroit, they punched this in. Baltimore will still have three timeouts to get in field goal range, but if Detroit gets stuffed here, they'll take the field goal and just send it to OT. Wait a minute. No, if Detroit scores, it'll be 28-24. It'll force the Ravens to score a touchdown. This might be it. The Lions could win both series and six games.  Just give it to him. No. It's first and goal on the one.  I'm actually going to cry. It's game six. Just end it. No. Are we all Pete Carroll? Do we just want to lose?  I don't care how many are in the box. Give it to him. I can't watch.  They're not even going to use their time out. They're going to let this clock go.  We have two timeouts. Snap it. Play action. God.  Fourth and goal. We're going to kick a field goal now.  Game six with six plays within the five. We get negative three yards and we're going for a field goal.  Oh my God. I can't watch. We're actually going to a seven game series in the bowl. I can't watch. Oh, I shouldn't say that. There's an entire overtime period to make up for it. It is 24 to 24. Michael Babsley drills it. Detroit starts with the ball in overtime. Touchdown. The extra point is good, but this is the Super Bowl. So Baltimore is going to get an opportunity of their own. They need the touchdown and the P.A.T. to go into another period of overtime or a touchdown and a two point conversion to win game six and force game seven. The Ravens are on their heels, but don't count them out. Let's see what Lamar's got. I'm first in 10 in overtime. Checks down to Gus Edwards. Swallowed up by Malcolm Rodriguez, putting on for all of Mexico. Second in 10. Lamar steps up. Lamar B slides down, tripped forward. Third in inches. Gus Edwards swallowed up. CJ Gardner Johnson has been playing amazing defense. That's a huge stop right there. If Baltimore can't get this yard, it's all over and the Super Bowl goes to Detroit. This is the biggest play. Of the Island, fourth and what? He's got it. Not even CJ Gardner Johnson and Fred Warner could stop that man right now. Oh, that was Isaiah Pacheco. That was not Gus. My bad. Regardless, it's first in 10. Travis Kelsey is in. Lamar is a manual Mosley of all people. Our Super Bowl ceremony is ruined by the fact that there are play selections on the field. Hold up. Wait a minute. What is going on? What am I watching? The Super Bowl is over. In game six. Honestly, the Cubies play virtually the same. Well, the same QBR, very different stories. Jared Goff, 276 in a touchdown. Lamar, three touchdowns, but two interceptions. And honestly, it was Lamar Jackson's interceptions that sent Baltimore home in the end. He was averaging about an interception per game. Pacheco was 75 on the ground. Jackson was 76. You'd think that would be enough. But Christian McCaffrey, 13 carries, 115 and two touchdowns. You can't mess with that efficiency. Brian Branch, manual Mosley with interceptions. Game six goes to Detroit and they are the sole winners of the Super Bowl Island. All right, boys. This was an absolute blast to make. I hope you guys enjoyed it. I want to take a little twist on imperialism. Put my little MMG sauce on it.  All right, boys. I love you guys. Thanks for watching as always. I'll see you in the next video. Peace.


Welcome happy Friday and thank you to all of you that have joined us today. I've been saying good morning good afternoon or good evening depending on the time in which you've joined us today we are thrilled to have our guest with us Hannah burger and you'll learn more about her soon. Before we go into too much of the episode we of course want to extend our deepest appreciation to our presenting sponsors. These companies have been with us, most of them over the last two years again we thought we would start the episode and it would last two weeks. So here we are about 430 episodes strong, thanks to our sponsors that keep the conversations going. They invest not only here in us and the show but truly in you and your communities across the nation so please do check them out. Again, if you've joined us for the chitty chat chat you've learned how amazing this human is that is joined me today I'm so excited to have Hannah burger with us for today's show again one of our favorites I always refer to it as our fry yay and answered but Hannah is chief development officer in principle with sorry as the philanthropy coach so that's your business name and you're also partnered with fundraising Academy so welcome Hannah I'm so glad to have you here. Thank you Jared it's such a pleasure to be here. We went through of course you know our names and origination stories of how we both have very unique names so I love having someone here that is just, you know, as interesting of a backstory and a childhood as me. Tell us a little bit if you would about your, you know, experience your career and of course your role here with fundraising Academy. Sure. So I am 20 years into a nonprofit mostly fundraising focused career. I'm currently the chief development officer for a transformative youth development and community center called a place called home in south central Los Angeles. And I'm also the principal consultant and executive coach with my own boutique consulting firm the philanthropy coach. So I'm based in Los Angeles. I am a believer in the transformative power philanthropy and the only thing I enjoy more than raising tons of money for mission driven organizations is teaching other emerging professionals to do the same. I've been partnered with fundraising Academy as an instructor for about five years now. And I'll be the lead instructor on their first national online cohort that's coming up in the new year. So exciting and I know that we have a clip on that to share later so make sure you stay with us to learn about this opportunity that you just shared with us. Thank you. I feel like you and I are kindred spirits we have a lot of the same passion and fuel behind our work to be here service. And to start that we of course have every Friday this is when we save your questions to answer them on this broadcast with the thought leader and today we are so thrilled to have Hannah with us. So I will read the question aloud will both kind of take turns answering them it's okay if we don't agree. And hopefully we're providing some really sage wisdom and advice to our to our viewers. So Justin writes in and Justin asked this question. I'm thinking about going to graduate school for a master's degree specifically specializing in nonprofit management. Can you please give me your perspective on this major investment. Should I go first. Yes, please do. So the coach of me wants to ask Justin so many questions about really what his career goals are. I have a master's degree in public administration with an emphasis in nonprofit sector management. But I did that to age myself 14 years ago. So the price tag has changed considerably. But what hasn't changed in our sector as quickly is salaries right so I would want to know from Justin. You know what's what's the career trajectory here if it's you want to work in government. Is it that you want to stay as a fundraiser for community based organizations do you have aspirations to work at the university level. So those things kind of play into the decision as far as I'm concerned I would say a master's degree is really helpful to get your foot in the door. It's a lovely added bonus on your resume, but it's not the be all end all I really believe that, especially when it comes to fundraising relationship based. That skill set, it's something that you learn over time. It's it's an expertise that you build through trial and error. And I think that years on the ground so to speak you know doing the work are just as valuable if not more valuable than a degree that you would earn from a university. Sage advice definitely and thank you so much. I would agree with with much of that. And I know that Justin there are so many other opportunities. Be it certificates, CFRE credentials that you can earn fundraising Academy plays a big role in that. In fact, we have had Jack a lotto on quite a bit and Jack is part of the CFRE kind of cohort and really works with people on that degree of certification. I like you Hannah I have a master's degree it's actually in business administration so I again to age myself I didn't have the opportunity to get an undergrad in nonprofit management and really just lately I feel like there's a lot more of this nonprofit management specialization if you know to put it in terms that have come out just lately and so many of us really didn't have that opportunity to dive deep but I have gone into some of my, you know certificate programs locally from local university in my community to just work through some of the latest trends and best practices, because, as you said price tax change so do some of the models and business structures fundraising Academy has a phenomenal cause selling education model. I wish and I told this to Tony bell, I wish I had that 20 years ago when I started saying. Justin great questions, the coach and both Hannah and myself we really want to dig a bit deeper but I would say really, you know, to add on to Hannah's response. Figure out why this is driving you you know what is your ultimate goal to earn and achieve this level of degree how will you use it as Hannah said in your career trajectory. Investing in something that hopefully will carry out time and time again, and then I also am going to advocate that your employer help you with this investment so that could be a conversation hopefully that you have either looked into or looking into that in the near future to help you with that investment but I wish you, I wish you all the best. Good. Good answers. Well, Hannah I'll give you again. First right to answer this but this comes from name withheld which my co host Julia Patrick loves these name withheld because she thinks they're spicy and dicey. This one's coming to us from Salt Lake City, Utah. I want to get a coach for 2022 and that is right around the corner. I am in fundraising and I think it could help me but I have these two questions. Can I ask my employer to pay for this coaching. And does it make me look weak or less professional if I do this. I love this question name withheld. First of all, I want to applaud this person for considering coaching and realizing what a value it will probably add to their career. Bravo. So, in short, yes, you absolutely can and should ask your employer to pay for this coaching. This is professional development. The organization hopefully has a line item in their budget for professional development for their employees but if they don't. It's definitely a conversation that's that's worth having and I would encourage this person to think about when they come to the table to ask their supervisor about the funding to invest in this coaching. What's in it for the organization. Right. What's the return on this investment. That's the way you're going to want to pitch the opportunity if the funding doesn't already exist. Second, does it make you look weak. Absolutely not. We should all be embracing an attitude of lifelong learning. Coaching is a really beautiful thing because it's not just about. Let me rephrase that in my mind what coaching does is it looks at your blind spots it helps you uncover gaps in your knowledge or experiences you haven't had yet or experiences that you have had that have maybe tarnished the way you operate in the world. A good coach is a good mirror right it reflects back to you what's happening in your life and they help you get past it so when you get a coach specific to your career. They're going to help you turn things around immediately you walk out a good coaching session with a feeling of being more grounded a better understanding of how you're operating where the blind spots are and actions to take immediately so. I know that when I work with clients my goal is always to have folks walk away from even our first session. Feeling more in control of their professional progress and ready to raise more funds right so that's an immediate ROI both for them personally and for their organization. Absolutely and I love coaching I love being coach I myself have a coach and I offer coaching much like you do on a three year professional services. I do not think this makes anyone look weak right I really think this is a great personal and professional investment and I think you might be surprised. How many people actually invest in a coach because I do think that that field and industry has scaled significantly many again you know many people that coach also have a coach. And so I do think it's a phenomenal opportunity I do think are I do know actually that some people I have coach have had their coaching paid for by their employer and some have said I'm paying for this out of pocket. So it's kind of gone both ways but I do think there's a great opportunity to really demonstrate that return on investment to your employer and to use those professional dollars that Hannah mentioned so hopefully name with help that gives you some insight to go back to your employer feel a bit more confident and poised as you present this opportunity and your desire to invest in yourself and the organization right for future growth through this coaching so there are so many coaches out there. Whether it's in person your local community or through zoom right there's so many different platforms now so do your due diligence just as you would for a financial coach or a you know physical trainer anything that you might be looking into to make sure that you have the right bit of personality wise as well as knowledge and expertise in what you're looking to grow and again fantastic I think that's a great goal for 22 and I hope I hope more people do it honestly. Absolutely. All right. So Sandra from the windy city. I started walking during lunch at my nonprofit to get a break and to disengage from our stressful work environment. I added environment because you know I've been there. I know what it's like. I have other staff members who want to join me because they have seen these benefits. My issue however is that this is my personal time. How do I navigate this. So Sandra you know what's funny is I would have answered this question differently maybe like 510 years ago in my career. Interesting. Yeah I probably would have like thought about ways that I could you know kind of incorporate folks to make them feel like you know there was team bonding and find a way to accommodate myself but here's the advice I'll give you now after I've had years of coaching prioritize you right you've already identified that this is something that works for you that gets you centered after being your stressful work environment all day right I feel like it's something that's not only a habit a positive habit but it's also like a major stress reliever for you. So I would say, you know, there's a kind way to say no, no can be the most empowering word. I encourage you to use it with your colleagues you know say, I'm so thrilled that you to want to start, you know, taking on a positive habit like walking every day during your breaks but this is this time is really important to me. It helps me get myself grounded and I like to be alone while I do it. I mean, you know, any respecting colleague I think would really appreciate that and maybe they model, you know, use your behavior as a positive model to find something that works beautifully for them as well. I love that you referenced what Hannah would have said 510 years ago, because I think as a social butterfly extrovert myself I'd be like great come on let's let's make this our walking club and this is what we're going to do. I also prioritize myself and hope that you, all of you will do just the same, and I'm thinking of a way. Maybe there's three days a week you walk solo two days a week you invite your colleagues to join you. Maybe that's just one day a week like maybe there's there's a when when solution to create some of that camaraderie and community through that physical aspect, or you might want to consider again you know maybe you create this as I don't want to say a competition but a friendly competition, you know, there's so many apps on our phones that we could really use this as part of our community. And maybe you have some kind of a fun challenge or competition to say, you know, however many miles or minutes or different routes did you take, or maybe make it a scavenger hunt something I have no idea again shooting from the hip. You guys have 20 years of a nonprofit experience on them, but thinking of ways to use this walking opportunity as an additional opportunity to engage with your colleagues. There's so many individuals I know that like to shut their door kind of you know go to a go to a park and have lunch by themselves and to me this is very much the same where this is your personal bubble. You have time, maybe you want to read listen to a podcast. So whatever you need to do to take care of yourself, as well as maybe there's a win win solution, where you truly can kind of blend the opportunities for the majority of the time, it is just for you Sandra, and maybe you're willing to share some of those days and those walking moments with your colleagues. Great suggestion Jared and I'll just piggyback on that. You know, Sandra, I would also think about where what's your role in the organization and is there an opportunity by coming up with a win win where you can be networking your way to your next step in your career, or mentoring somebody who perhaps reports to you or would like to be in your position. Right. Absolutely. I love this we always get different perspectives and and piggyback so they're always welcome. Okay, here's a question from Chantel in North Texas, our program team wants to conduct some tours with like serving nonprofits in our city. I don't know if this is a super idea but our CEO sees it as competitive and across some lines. Any suggestions on this idea or approach. Good question. On the hip. I'm, I think it's a great idea. I don't believe that nonprofit organizations should see each other as competitors, especially the fundraisers. You know, in my own life, when I moved back to Los Angeles about four years ago, one of the first things I did was make a lunch date with my peer at a very close proximity organization geographically but also very close and mission. And we sat down and became fast friends and that relationship grew into what I now call my local brain trust and it's all directors of development at organization serving Los Angeles, most of which serve south Los Angeles. And while our missions are a little bit different. There's a lot of similarities there and we do everything from, you know, call each other in a moment of crisis to get advice to share our annual fund appeals just so we can, you know, get a different idea of what folks are doing and share the wealth of knowledge that exists within our little community that we've created. So, yeah, I would want to dig in with the CEOs to why they see that as potentially competitive. But I think any opportunity to connect with like minded organizations is golden and to have those really positive working with staff members at like minded organizations is just it's a beautiful way to do business. And from your funders perspective, that collaborative spirit can be a really powerful thing. I think I can add more to what you shared because I also come from a place of collaboration, and that spirit of working together so I see this as a win win. Again would love to dig in with the CEO and find out why he she or they are really against this opportunity. I think there's so much we can learn from one another and with on another. I guess we think of one of our previous guest Rita sornan who serves as the executive director for the Dave Thomas Foundation for adoption. And they are all about collaboration and she shared in one of her episodes with us that they are very welcome to having open dialogues and conversations with organizations that may seem competitive because we serve like minded, you know, constituents and operations and the sort. So I to like Hannah like Rita sornan come from a place of, let's work together right we are here to help the community and to help provide solutions to our community problems. So why not share in our best practices. I love hearing Hannah that you share your annual appeals as well, because I would really love to say what's missing right like please take a look at this does this resonate with you what's missing. What have you done that has been successful and how might we integrate incorporate some of that into this so I do see it also as a win win I'm glad to to hear that from you as well, Hannah. Good luck, but I would really pitch this as an opportunity that's positive and it could grow into even more future positive opportunities so I believe this is our last question and it's, it's a powerful one. And it's actually one that I have been stewing on and I'm still not sure how I'm going to answer it. Hi girls in Portland, Oregon. I am asking my small team to bring a short inspirational quote to help us start our weekly staff meetings. One of our employees gave me an eye roll and asked that I stipulate that none of the quotes be biblical or religious in nature thoughts. Well first I'd like to address the eye roll. No, I'll leave that alone for a minute. As the coach in us we want to address that behavior. Right. I really want to know the intention that Charles has for this request of his team. So, I immediately think what a lovely way for this group to share what they find inspiring and it's sharing a little bit of themselves, right. And if that is the intention that it's a way for team members to share a little bit of themselves and perhaps, you know, charge up the enthusiasm in the team. Then I would think that bringing quotes that may be biblical or religious in nature to the tables totally appropriate. I realize that we live in a very secular world right I'm in Los Angeles doesn't get much more secular than that. But if we are practicing true inclusivity that means that people get to come to the table with their full selves. And I know that in my organization with my team at a place called home in my consulting practice. And so if that is if part of who you are as a person of faith, then you should feel comfortable and safe sharing that with your team. I love your answer and I witnessed you I have no idea my answer like I was not sure how how to respond to this I love. You know really this whole come as you are and if this means that you are powered by faith and you should be able to bring this to the table as well. Plus there are so many organizations, although I'm assuming this one in particular that asked the question is not a faith based organization but there are so many organizations that do have a very faith rooted culture, and in that case I would I would assume that that's kind of you know par for the course. I have been to many board meetings where they start with prayer because they are such a faith rooted organization that that is part of their culture and their standard procedure for opening up any type of meeting. One of the things that I have done and maybe you want to consider this Charles and leading a team instead of asking for an inspirational quote, I've essentially asked for an article that was really something that was thought or a best practice something that another organization was doing and had great success with so really I turned it from more of a personal focus to more of that professional setting to identify. Perhaps there's you know a white paper out there that we want to talk about and how does that incorporate into our work. So Charles maybe there's an opportunity for you to use what you intended to do with these inspirational quotes that would be very personal, perhaps you can consider what it might look like to also an and or bring in the opportunity of other ideas, other articles worth consideration and conversation, perhaps books that maybe your team has read and wants to discuss, maybe a podcast right there's so many opportunities, maybe one of these shows there's so many opportunities and, and thought provoking conversations that I think will bring, hopefully what you're looking for to the table which is I read this it's, you know, collectivity camaraderie bringing community from your small team and finding again I'm all about these win wins how can we really create this as an opportunity for a win hopefully that's helpful Charles, I love where you're going with us and again I wish you the best and Hannah, I cannot believe this but our time is almost up. So I would love for us to end with you telling a little bit more, you had teased it earlier and I'm so glad that you did, because you are taking a primary role in fundraising academies cause selling accelerate program tell us about this and when does sure so this is the first national online cause selling accelerate course that fundraising Academy is offering we've done it previously with National University in San Diego I've taught with JFK University up in San Jose and then there's affiliates all over the country. So we're bringing everyone together for a national online cohort starting February 8. It is a 10 week program. You can earn, I believe it's 49 CFRE points so if you're headed towards your CFRE credential. This could really help you speed up that process. And we cover everything from we cover the full cost selling cycle and I'm not going to dive into exactly what that is, but it's everything from why you choose to be in a fundraising nonprofit career to major gifts. I'm even scheduling a really great conversation with a philanthropist so folks can ask questions in real time of the type of person that they might be soliciting in their career. And then of course as the lead instructor. I walk everyone through the materials using my 20 years of experience is really fun, hopefully funny case studies. And it's just, it's a wonderful program. It's a less than $500 investment. I think it's tremendously valuable and I've had a lot of past students who have not only told me they enjoyed the experience but that it was a game changer for their career. So, I love that. I cannot recall our question earlier today that was asking about a master's degree but perhaps this is of consideration, a low cost investment but a really big impact so do check that out with fundraising Academy. I've been so blessed and honored to have Hannah with us today. Thank you for spending your time, your 20 years of expertise and so much knowledge that you have in our sector and the passion uses as well so thank you and I'm glad that we now have you as part of our team and our fundraising Academy is also very lucky to have you. You're interested in connecting with Hannah burger. Please do reach out to her there's her contact information here. She and I also connected on LinkedIn so I can tell you she's pretty active on that platform as well. So grateful to have you joining us today. Julia Patrick has the day off because every now and then we need that. And I am Jarrett ransom your nonprofit nerd again we are powered by our presenting sponsors so I'm grateful to have each and every one of their investment in these episodes and in all of you in our sector around the nation so thank you to our sponsors and fundraising Academy for underwriting our Friday. Ask and answer. It's been such a good one and I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. You were fantastic. I definitely want to do this again with you for another Friday, or maybe I'll see you on the online course as well because that captures my attention as a lifelong learner. Wonderful. Thank you so much Jarrett. This was such a treat. Good. Well for all of you that have joined us today. Please do have a good weekend. Come back and join us next week because we have another action packed episode week, and we always end every day by saying please stay well, so you can do well. Thanks everyone and have a wonderful weekend.


Okay, this is a short tutorial on how to schedule reoccurring meetings in Zoom. I'm on the Zoom app on my computer. You can find these same features on the iPad or iOS device or if you go and you schedule your meeting from Zoom.us on the web. So I'm going to come here and click on the schedule and it allows me to schedule a meeting. I put in my information, the name of what my meeting is going to be, the date, the time, whether I want it to have a general, generate the ID automatically or use my personal. All of this information and right here is where it says reoccurring meeting. And then you get this little note that says, please remember to check reoccurrence or repeat in your calendar. So there's kind of a two step there. So it's reoccurring. I'm going to go ahead and mine goes to my Google calendar. I'm going to schedule it and it comes up here to my calendar. Then I have to remember this is what it was talking about that note right here, whether I want it to reoccur daily or weekly on Monday, whatever day I scheduled it, possibly monthly, or I can make it a custom and I could pick the dates that I want it to reoccur. And I would put, that's going to say it's going to be weekly once a week. And then once again, I could copy this information here. I could add my guest emails here and then they would have a calendar invite every week. It'll just permanently go there. You don't have to resend it every week. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Molly Ashoff at ESU 8.
