Live from the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas. It's theCUBE, covering VMworld 2016. Brought to you by VMware and its ecosystem sponsors. Now, here are your hosts, Stu Miniman and John Walls. And we are your hosts, John Walls, along with Stu Miniman. Thanks for joining us here at VMworlds. We wrap up our day one coverage of a show that's had a lot of excitement, a lot of enthusiasm, and a lot of big announcements today. We're now joined at the tail end of our coverage here by Rob Cummins, who's the VP of Marketing in Fantasia Island. Rob, thanks for being with us on theCUBE. We appreciate the time. Thanks for having me. Got to ask you about the t-shirt right away. It's catchy to say the least, but what you got going on there? Yeah, and it's stark contrast to the suits and ties I'm sitting across here. So, we've got a flagship product we've been shipping for a while called Intel Flash HD for a high density flash system. And we've expanded that and we're announcing it today as a brand new product. And it's called Cloud Platform, so CP. So, in our brainstorming, what's it do with the booth? So, HD, CP, HD, sounds like ACDC. So, we've got to wrap the whole booth theme around that or actually having some rock and roll playing in the booth, having a good time this week. Yeah, you got the tunes going over there too. So, you've only bought into the whole concept. Yeah, we're really annoying the vendors around us. It's great. So, all flash all the time. I mean, what's happened? I mean, what's been the tipping point you think that all of a sudden it's gotten everybody's attention? Yeah, and actually what's funny is we actually started in 2012 as a hybrid company with Flash and Disk. So, again, there's two layers of high performance and better economics, low cost disk on the back end. And we had entered the all flash business about a year and a half ago, but now we're starting to see the flash business start to bifurcate into very high performance with NVMe flash and then we're partnered up with Sandisk on their Infiniflash, very high density, low cost flash. So, we're able to leverage this bifurcation and be able to put some English on the ball with the customers saying you need the super high performance system, I can move this way. If you need more bulk, high capacity, maybe long term retention of, let's say video surveillance, you don't need this up here, so we can bulk up down here. So, lots of our competitors, they kind of sit right in the middle, I call it JBOF, it's kind of a spin on an old term as we storage guys have where they're kind of stuck in the middle, they can't optimize for performance and economics where we're able to leverage what used to be considered almost like a second class citizen product to the hybrid business, the flash guy's like, ah, that's just a toy. Now we're turned the tables on them and say, look at this big, high performance, high density system that's five times faster and a fifth of the cost of a garden variety, all flash systems running. So, we're super happy about it. Yeah, Rob, so those of us that have been in the storage industry for a while understand that it's a highly fragmented marketplace there's so many different solutions and niches inside the marketplace. There's a great line I actually heard today, said, sometimes you try to say, it's not that one size fits all, as a matter of fact, one size fits none when it comes to storage. So, how do you guys look at that kind of architecturally because you're right, there was this big push, there was hybrid arrays and there was all flash arrays. We don't look at, there's a category that you can count but not all flash arrays are the same, there's scalability, there's performance, there's latency and you've got new technologies like MVME and 3D crosspoint and changing things a lot. So, how do you guys look at, position your architecture and some of the options that are out there? Yeah, we completely buy into that that just one size doesn't fit anything. So, we've got one, what we call one flash platform that can support hybrid, it can support all flash and now this multi-tiered high performance, high density flash, all run in the exact same software. We run block with fiber channel, high scuzzy file, which is very unique with Flash Guys. It's very hard to find a flash vendor that runs NFS and SMB as well. So, lots of people come by the booth and they say, what do you guys do? What makes it unique? I said, we're the best storage platform for the indecisive virtualization manager. Well, yeah, I mean, I'll show my age in the storage industry. 15 years ago, SAN versus NAS was one was for performance and one was just for, I need accessibility and there's files and everything. But it wasn't a performance environment. So, yeah, so talk to us maybe a little bit about that. What are some of the performance use cases in there? Does that, I think of kind of scale-out NAS has been a big category for a while. How does the kind of performance fit into that file category? Yeah, I'll give you one of the greatest stories I love about our teleflash HD. I was born and raised in Chicago. So, I love Chicago sports and things like that. One of our customers is United Center where the Chicago Bulls and the Blackhawks play and they've got a system that during the game, one of, let's say, one of the basketball player makes a killer three-point shot. They go into a sequel database, find the athletes, all the statistics about the last five years of his play and that's pointing to the file portion of the system of the video clips of the last five years of that guy shooting from that one spot. They munch that all together, pass it up into an avid video editing system and they've got that video playing before the competitor is throwing the ball out for the next round. It's phenomenal. Then it's playing on 2,100 skirrings in the United Center. So, you need the high performance, that database finding it in a high throughput and low cost for that video content all running on the same system. Great. So, how about the customers? You know, what are some of the biggest challenges you're seeing and how does Tage Isle in a very crowded field differentiate itself? Yep, yep. And a lot of it has to do with this being able to move around and change your mind over time and then to get back to kind of the cloud piece with this new product. I don't think any of us in the Flash business, we don't win or lose on performance anymore. The garden variety mid-range system ran about five to 10,000 IOPS, maybe 20 for a real good system. Our entry level system starts at 50,000 IOPS and now we're going up to millions of IOPS. So, we're so much faster than what the use cases are used to driving. You know, that's not an issue anymore but this whole cloud thing has become really interesting. So, we recently released a program we call Lifetime Storage where we take this whole how do I technology refresh in three or five years off the table. As part of your maintenance agreement, we can put in the cost of a tech refresh in three or five years and we'll come rolling out whatever the current technology is, we'll come give you at least the same capacity and performance as you've got today in the maintenance contract renewal. So, we like to say this will be the last storage system you ever buy. And then to take it one step further, we have what we call Intellipay, which just like you and I, we all have a smart meter on the side of our house and measures our kilowatt hours consumption. We've got the same type of meter figuratively in our software that watches how much capacity is written to in a given month and we send a bill in a gigabyte month fashion and that starts to feel like a lot of public cloud too. So, you get to own your own array. So, you got all the security, control, performance, integrity of on-prem but you've got the business model, like you said, an operational model feels a lot more like a blended public, private, hybrid cloud. Okay, great. So, if I understand that right, when you're talking cloud in this, it's really kind of the operations and attributes of like what we talk about when we think about a public cloud. It's not that you're, you know, putting something in Azure or the like, right? We do have hooks if customers want to connect to Amazon, Azure, Teramark, guys like that. But our true bread and breader is on-prem.  They're used to doing things a certain way, used to managing their storage. How do you kind of pull them along or are we actually, are you seeing the customers, you know, embracing that and asking for that now? We do see a lot of them asking for that because they've got so much, what I'll call business unit pressure. Oh, I saw a commercial, I read something in the Wall Street Journal. We must go to the cloud. And the IT guy goes, why? And he goes, I don't know. Let's go through the business reasons why you might want to do that. And I'll show you all the technical and these program reasons why I can deliver to you all those things that you think you need and want with the very, what I'll call traditional on-prem business model, but it looks and feels like that public cloud of operational model. So take me through a lifetime of storage again. I think I might have missed the point. But if I want to upgrade basically in three or four years, I have some certainty in that I'm not going to lose the capabilities, the efficiencies and the speeds that I have now. You're just going to bring the new stuff on my deck. I'm going to be off and running. So how does that improve my performance? How does that make me better? Yeah, so what we do is let's say you bought a Ford Mustang today. And what we do is inside of the, let's say inside of the insurance policy, or if you bought the extended maintenance policy, we would put the cost of the 2019 Ford Mustang into that cost. But because, and here's where it's really neat, where it makes it work, because these flash and NAN vendors are completely throwing Moore's Law out the window in how fast they're advancing densities, that system in three or five years is going to probably be 30, 40 cents on the dollar for what you're paying today. So for what looks like an uplift, like a standard 24 by seven, four hour response time maintenance agreement, we can slide that in and amortize it over 36 or 60 months, and you can barely feel it. And that was three or five years out. We come rolling in with a brand new car in your garage that has all the new bells and whistles, all those things like this next generation NVME and all that, it just happens. You don't have to worry about it. You don't have to go, oh man, how am I going to go get another $100,000 of capex? It just kind of happens along the way. Almost like if you're rolling a lease over it with that car. So you give IT certainty, you give budget certainty, all those things, and so you bring stability to it. Right. Otherwise a pretty nail-biting time for people, right? Exactly, and then I'll even make it smoother with this gigabyte pricing model. Sure, yeah. All right, so Rob, how about kind of the VMware hooks here? Usually we come to the show, we talk about things like VVOLs, talk about the various integrations. What updates do you have as to kind of working with VMware and what are you hearing from customers? Yeah, what's nice is with this cloud platform we've got here, we were able to deliver the performance and capacity scale for large enterprises to get a couple million IOPS and let's say six raw petabytes in about 10 or 15 U. And then what that does, that lowers a lot of the operational cost and complexity of managing racks and racks of gear. We can typically get one rack of traditional gear into one U of our new gear. So all that fussing around with performance optimization, all that goes away. So the VM administrator can then go focus on the applications that are running on. And I tell you, I think most of us in our position in this market, we're all doing the VVOLs things, we all do all the VAI primitives, we're all there. This cloud platform's neat, because then we can really enable that hybrid cloud model that Amazon or the Azure, as I mentioned, can hook into and customers can build that hybrid cloud. Absolutely, we heard in the keynote this morning from Pat Gelsinger, customers need to push up the stack. And so we need to do things from the infrastructure layer to free them up, to be able to do that. Do you see that shifting, what do you see on the ground from your customers that are implementing your environments? How does that impact what they can do to kind of serve the business better? Yeah, we had a customer panel just recently and one of the people in the audience asked one of our end users say, how do you like all the reporting tools and things with Tageout? And the guy goes, I don't use them.  But then he followed up and said, I don't ever have to look at them because the thing just runs. It's so fast, it's smooth, my end users never complain about performance or anything, it just works. So back to what I was saying, he's able to up level his job, he doesn't have to play around with storage too anymore, he's up there maximizing the value of those applications. Yeah, we actually, I did a little video coming into the event and said, if we do what we really want to do, we should have this be the storage list conference rather than the storage world that we've been talking about the last few years. Well, if you look before the Industrial Revolution, everybody put their factories on a river and had their own paddle wheels generating their own power. Now we don't even think about it, we just plug it into the wall. Storage is getting there. So if you can get out your crystal ball, because you're always trying to solve the next problem. I mean, what is it, maybe back in the scientists in the laboratory right now, what are you working on or what do you hear from customers? Okay, this is great, but this is the next hurdle we have to get through, the next barrier we need to solve. I think the barrier is actually on our vendor side that supplies the flash to us because our architectures that supports these multiple tiers, we're always on the lookout for the best performance optimized media and the best capacity optimized media. And our engineers continually qual that and find that best product and that best technology and we just integrated into our roadmap over time. So we're not having to crack big code in terms of big architectural changes. We're just taking the best of both worlds and rolling them into our platform and then delivering them into our customers and more and more on that lifetime storage program. Well, Rob, thanks for being with us. We appreciate the time. And I know it's an AC-DC thing, but I was thinking jumping Jack Flash should work his way somewhere into your booth. Let's work on that for next year. Thank, I appreciate it. All right, good deal. Thanks, John. Tisha, thanks for being with us and we'll continue our coverage from VMworld here in Las Vegas right after this. You're watching theCUBE.


Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen in the room and online to this press conference at the 48th annual meeting of the World Economic Forum We are honored and delighted to welcome back mr. Mauricio Macri President of Argentina in your special address You stated that Argentina is ready to take its place in the world as a world player and your commitment to reducing poverty in Argentina President Macri, please share with us your vision for Argentina and your presidency of the G20 Well, good morning everybody. Thank you for attending this press conference Let me share with you my very optimistic View for the future I really believe that Argentina is a country with a high potential I am sure that it must be in nowadays the country with the biggest potential around the world Because we we have incredible natural resources, but more important than that we have amazing human resources talent and entrepreneurship and after many many years of isolation we are Going back to the world with an intelligent approach to long-term relationships Fortunately, we have an incredible reception from the world We are building good relations with nearly every country around the world and From from that I expect that we will build the new initiatives Other value products and that will create jobs Jobs that will reduce the poverty in my country. That is my first commitment as you mentioned and and we are proud and Maybe what is one of the biggest challenges in our history? We are proud to lead the G20 this year and we expect that during the whole year we will keep working together and trying to find ways to have a steady firm and Better inclusive growth in the whole world because even though the world is growing there are many Still many places in which they don't feel the results. So that means that we have to keep Working on I think that the best way is to debate and to find Tools in which will help everybody. I think the three things that we have elected The work of future or the future of work Education and food security are three opportunities to to develop New new projects and new ways To create growth. No, so at the same time We were we will have in the meeting a gender across approach during the whole G20 and we also expect to to work around more deeply around also Health subjects that also were raised in in Berlin But more or less that's a summary and maybe we can start with the questions yes, so The microphone will come around. Please state your name and the media outlet you're from the gen the woman on front I Miss the president. This is Angela from China senator calm. It's a Chinese website My question is from this annual meeting. We can say some countries are pro globalization, but some are not I Want to know your view of point regarding to globalization and will you meet president Trump During this annual meeting and what kind of trade relationships you are expecting from USA and China? Thank you Was a long question We may stay the whole day answering your question, but well briefly First I really appreciate the relationship with China China is very present in Argentina as in the whole South America We are working together in many sectors Food security is one of them energy. They had been very aggressive in investing in Argentina Nuclear we are planning to build nuclear plants hydroelectric plants. They had participated in the for renewable energy tenders and They are investing in in also in tourism In with the states I have a very good relationship with the long relationship with Donald Trump and He had been very helpful in improving our relations and we expect to continue working together Even though maybe we may not share the short-term view in terms of multilateralism vis-a-vis bilateralism and I expect that we will all be part of this G20 meeting and we'll continue debating and finding Again insist tools that will benefit our citizens I don't know if something else that I left or not. It's okay Globalization globalization is a reality We can't stop it our kids were born under a globalization basis, you know that they chat Around the whole world that they travel through internet Knowing what happens in the whole world e-commerce is boosting globalization so I think that It's something that we have to adapt to and our obligation as leaders is trying to find tools like work as buffers so Citizens can adapt it adapt to all these changes in in a better way. That's that's our main main task Good morning, Jorge Valero from the Spanish delil economista have two quick questions the first one do Argentinian experience itself the weaknesses of Multilateralism you hosted their last round of the WTO and there was not a lot of success there Are you concerned about the results that you could get during the G20 presidency and a second question on Mercosur? The bone of contagion is the beef quotas. Do you see some room for compromise in the near future? And what will be that compromise? let's start by Maybe the short term the most important thing I think that is crucial for Mercosur and I really believe that also for the European Union find an agreement between Mercosur and European Union. I think that we are quite close to Sign the political agreement that will take us to Negotiate the legal agreement that will take another maybe 18 months and then a 10 year period In which we are going to start opening the different sectors of our economies so it's a lot of time in terms of what is going on on the world and I expect that we will have the the courage of going forward and The Attitude to solve the the small problems that was still there and I expect that in my meeting tomorrow With Macron we will find Solution for a couple of issues are still there Because I really believe that it's a huge huge opportunity for both WTO everybody Everybody congratulate me For the organization and for the good beef and the good wine and the beautiful city Unfortunately, we couldn't go much further In the meeting, but we have to keep working. There's no other way as I mentioned before So we're going to take one more question then back and then we'll move to the other side of the room very back Thank You president. I'm Daniel Reeter from Brazil's Volod Economica. What's your expectation regarding? What's your expectation for Argentina's entry in the OECD and Secondly in your Dinner with mr. Macron. Are you gonna? Talk about The payment of that with a Swiss Angie Yes, we already agree to pay that old debt with the Swiss and Related related to OECD. We are very optimistic and we really believe that is a great tool for us to confirm the path That we had taken two years ago and continue the reforms as I told I had said in my speech minutes ago some minutes ago We are building consensus in Argentina around an agenda of permanent reforms No, we really believe in that and not only as for a country like Argentina that fall backwards for everybody this this incredible technological Breakthrough that we are going through Demands that we have to be open And we have to understand we we need to be under permanent reforms. This is the times that we are living So the lady in the front The lady Thank you President Vivian Rodriguez with Bloomberg news. This is a question about a domestic issue in Argentina Regarding the central bank a lot of analysts and investors feel that Sturznäger is a bit pressured to cut interest rates faster Then expected so that he could promote faster growth in Argentina Therefore, there's a chance he would just resign and leave the central bank. What do you have to say about that? In Argentina, we are all under a huge pressure Because we want to grow faster, we want to reduce poverty faster And the central bank With absolute independence given the goals of the executive power It has to achieve That they meet But with absolute independence So they will manage monetary policy according to how he has said it a few days ago According to Vea that inflation goes down or not goes down Adapt to monetary policy because it is also a priority Bajar the inflation porque está ligado a bajar la pobreza y a crear trabajo y buen trabajo y ganar productividad Presidente es aquí el burgo from a clearing newspaper. I will switch to English for everybody's Understands I will to ask you Which is the balance of this visit to Davos and if you get if you got what you expected in this visit And we are very happy Talking in Representation of the whole delegation what I I've seen is optimism enthusiasm here that the ministers In the delegation, but also All the business community that came are enthusiastic with new partnerships new players especially ready to be part of the all these PPP tenders that we are launching I'm talking about Highways roads ports Waterworks energy and I had like I Don't know anymore how many because of course we're one after the other but in that more than 15 meetings and all very important companies everybody Announcing that they are going to disembark in Argentina. They're going to Start operations in Argentina. So we are in the process of receiving new investments Investments always take some time to take decision then to Implement them and but things are working and really very happy of the results and I Continue to see a huge support from the whole world to Argentina Whole world is surprised so for the results that we had achieved in such a short period and We should continue working in this direction. It's the right direction well One more question from the back the gentleman in the back You say that tomorrow one hour ago Gracias Carlos Mota de ADN 40 en la ciudad de México le pregunto presidente que expectiva tiene de su visita a Mexico Tras la invitación que le hizo el presidente peña nieto y es específicamente en materia comercial que tipo de integración Buscaría tener la Argentina con México Tengo muchas ganas de visitar México país muy querido Los argentinos lo visitamos permanentemente muchos argentinos viven en México Muchos argentinos van a las playas maravillosa de ti en los mexicanos Muchos jugadores de futbol argentinos juegan en México Y lo que tenemos es poco comarcio países tan cercanos no tan con tantas lazos de amistad que tengamos tan poco comarcio si que espero ir y tener resultados concretos en abrir el comarcio Sobre todo el agroindustrial el de la industria automotriz creo que son dos campos donde podemos Generar mucho intercambio así que ojalá lo logremos y con el presidente Peña Nieto tengo una gran relación así que él va a venir para Como última tarea casi de su gobierno al G20 en Buenos Aires no se quería pedir no se quería perder Como era un buen bife en Buenos Aires Bueno muchas gracias a todos

sick that clementa was really freaking cool dude that was so awesome all right guys that is gonna do it from us tonight uh no more personals in queue so let me drop you guys a link to our schedule tomorrow we have a um 11 a.m start time with magic mat he's ripping spectra basketball and then certified football then we've got uh me starting at five we've got three and two baseball um bunch of cases of that random team style 80 dollars a spot we've got like god uh one two three four five five of those then we've got luminaries uh random hit style then we've got spectra basketball again four boxes then some eight box cases and then we've got certified football and then certified um elements and gold standard mixers two of each and then a certified football random divisions to end the night so thank you guys again that is going to do it from shawn and i tonight hope you guys have a great rest of your night and thanks for hanging out today


Everybody forced here ripping 2022 elite football hobby three box number 11 random teams check these results any time a latent sports cards Dot-com and there's a Lincoln chat for you as well Good luck everybody Yes, here's a tiago Not gonna recap this break Or most of the breaks going forward other than the football mixer just because they're quicker And we're behind so That's reasoning behind that but again none of these breaks are more than like 15 minutes up until the mixer so Ten pals nice start with the Lions Aiden Hutchinson You go a Desmond Ritter rookie on deck getting his first start next week Brian Robinson junior to 999 commanders. I don't know but I don't even know what happened, man I'm just here breaking. It's a corral elitist And it could be Dean the 399 Eagles rookie. Oh, here we go. Here's the play show it. I want to see it He's just very fast is what I see He recovered a fumble and scored from like 40 yards out Damian Pierce Texans rookie auto to 49. There you go Texans It's I cut to 24 Nick Chubb Browns Christian Watson to 999 Packers rookie Tyree kill is easily a top five receiver in the league I don't know what order it is, but it's Jefferson Hill and Adams and then cup and Then who would be like the other top five? I just feel like Hill JJ as Tay Adams, maybe chase like cup consistently Jed is consistently Adams consistently 399 and Tyree kill consistently So I'm giving them a little higher than than chase just because I would put I'd say digs up there But like I give those guys an edge because they've been doing it for longer Not that chase isn't as talented or as good. I just that's how I feel about it Jersey Nick Chubb Browns Who else would be in consideration? Chase I think digs has to be in the talk Daniel Jones at 92 for the Giants I'm already Cooper. I think it's just it's tough with the Browns and switching around there Dehop, yeah guys like that though. I think they're on the back half of their career. I Mean Tay Adams kind of is on the back after his career and he's still ballin Zay Jones AJ Brown at 399 Eagles. He's a guy you could talk about to AJ Brown.  Yeah, it's a 999 bear stress and trust an ebner Yeah, I wouldn't put DK at the top five. He's incredible. I would love him on the Patriots I think top five is a little too high to 99 Josh Allen bills spellbound like I Think top 10 you could say you could argue for DK top five. No, maybe it's different with a different quarterback. I don't know But I'm not trying to assume nothing right now Logan Hall and rookie bucks to 75 You could all you could almost get CD lamb up in that conversation almost but again, he's like a top 15 guy ish Yeah, I mean with Brock Hardy anything is possible. Yeah, so I go Jetta's Cup Bonte Jersey Lamar Jackson Ravens. It was the fourth, but Jabba rookie on deck for the Ravens 399 Rashad white bucks Oh, yeah, Tyreek. I agree Marshall. I'm just saying like current time. I Don't current Deandre Hopkins is top five. I think over the past decade. He's a top five receivers You're talking like an all decade team. I'd put him on it the Kobe Dean to 99 Eagles And a lot of it has to do with you know, I mean he hasn't played much this year.  Where would you put the highest ranked Patriots wide receiver overall in the NFL? Who do you think it is and how high do you think they are like ranks? Who do you think the best patch receiver is? Mount Garmin to 399 Bears. It's either Jacobi or And where would you rank them like top 40 Sam Hout not even Penn Palace or Kyoto Commanders Rookie on deck breeze hall jets Pickets to 999 Steelers Yeah, they're great duo. I never said it. I never I I'm doing all I'm saying is I don't think he's top five I don't think DK is better than Chase digs Adams cup hill Jettas I don't think he's better than those guys all I'm saying is not top five That's all I'm saying 24 Pacheco for the For the the chiefs Elidas Kenneth Walker Good receiver underrated McLauren Lewis signed rookie Otto to 25 for the Vikings 399 Alvin Camara Saints It's like one Thornton 999 Pats You good for sure say DK top ten. Yeah, I wouldn't disagree on that Like him and Brown and where you said we already have like a top six Maybe He's definitely top ten Davis price is 75 Niners. Even if he's nine or ten. It's tough this year because They're just so inconsistent Oh, you're talking about this year. We're talking about like right now like And what's like happened recently? No lock. It's great to lock it's been underrated his entire career and it kind of bugs me I think a lot of it Seattle a lot of it sees like It took him a while to break out Which I think is has it whenever player takes a long time to break out and they're like a receiver They don't get as much respect You don't think DK top of teams Doug Williams etched in time signatures you go commanders numbered five out of 49 Nice one there at a 49 Debo Niners Do we count Debo as a wide receiver? Do we count Debo? Kyler to 99 Cardinals, I guess that's his listening position, right? Debedo That's just a Patriots that one of these guys Where's the Patriots had a top 30 receiver? Now what about what about Amon Ross St. Brown? Where would where would he fall in this because He's legit He is legit Hawkinson to 99 for the Lions. I have not pulled a whiz kids Is that in football? I'll Hamilton rookie on deck Kevin Harris rookie numbered two 999 Patriots 399 399 Patriots Kevin Harris Playmakers Cooper Cup Elitist Sam Howell commanders number to 25 Malik Willis on the on deck Travon Walker to 999 Jaguars You get honestly argue Tyree gets the best You could argue that I think he's he led like he'll usually receiving arts, right? Four games with 150 plus receiving arts consecutive one shy for record 349 Broncos ps2 Look at that. He even recovers fumbles for touchdowns He scoops and scores Aaron Donald to 99 for the Rams Yeah, Nick. Yeah, great game Tremac Bride to 999 Cardinals Did the Chiefs beat the Broncos? There's Jefferson to 399 Vikings Mike Williams, Jerry Z Chargers You know, who else should be in that conversation Josh Palmer Travis Kelsie's one of the best receivers in the league Barely blocks, dude Kyron Williams to 999 Rams Garrett Wilson jets pen pals nice card jets that'll do it. Thanks again everybody more football coming up


So for this last YouTube tutorial video, I thought I'd end on the most important lesson that I've learned through this whole process. And it's a lesson I think a lot of particularly artistic people usually struggle with. And that lesson is you should chase improvement, not perfection. Perfection is impossible, which means you'll never get there. And by proxy, the more time you spend on chasing it, the faster you're going to run into diminishing returns. My brother told me about a cool lesson he learned from art school from a pottery sculpting professor where the teacher ran an experiment where after showing the students the basics in one class, he assigned the students one perfect pot in which they had four months of the rest of the semester to complete. And in the other class, he assigned those students 100 small pots within the same amount of time. And what ended up happening was overall, the second class with the small pots ended up with a better quality pot on their 100th attempt than the class who had a whole semester to work on one pot. And that is because the second class was able to more quickly learn from their mistakes and rapidly implement improvements, test and execute various ideas until by the 50th pot, most of their work looked better than the people who were tunnel visioning to make their first perfect project. And I believe this lesson translates to YouTube extremely well, you will learn a lot more and a lot faster by making 100 small videos in four months than making one epic two hour perfect video in the same amount of time. So if there's one thing you take from this entire series, just remember that chasing perfection is the equivalent to running away from failure. But what people don't realize is perfection can only possibly be created from the experience of failure.  And ultimately in the long run, I think it's also just a much more healthy and realistic goal to have. So I hope this series was helpful. Thank you so much for watching. And as always, I hope you have a fantastic day and I'll see you around.


Hi, this is Yoho Sapil Bhartiya and welcome to TFR Newsroom. And today we have with us David Wang, head of product at Tetrade. David, it's great to have you on the show. Yeah, it's great, great to be here. Nice to meet you. Today we are primarily going to talk about the general availability of Tetrade Service Express or TSE. But before we get into the details of this announcement, it's a very good idea to just remind our viewers to just build the baseline. What is Tetrade all about? Tetrade was here to basically bring availability and network security to workloads of enterprises and we're starting with Service Mesh, bringing it to the enterprise. We're created by people who built this for in production for many of the largest internet companies we know. And we're basically taking that knowledge, skill set experience and putting our product to help our customers achieve their security and availability goals. Can you also talk about the rule that Tetrade is playing in this whole very complicated cloud-native, cloud-centric, Kubernetes native word? Firstly, for many people who try to get into this, they're interested in the open-source project Istio. So we are experts in Istio. We offer support to help people get started, get going. And beyond that, we also bring together the best of open-source as well as proprietary product to run our knowledge and expertise, to bring a platform around Istio and on Envoy, to deliver the outcomes that our customers want when it comes to security and availability. Now let's talk about the Tetrade Service Express. What is it all about? Tetrade Service Express is really a big piece of bringing the enterprise Service Mesh to Amazon EKS users who want to use Istio and Envoy. It is really like pretty much the only gaming town in terms of Istio-based Service Mesh. It is as close to EKS native as possible because it just comes pre-built with integrations for most of the common AWS services you would have to integrate with if you want to use Service Mesh with Istio. So things like Route 53, AWS Load Balancer, Manage Grafana, AWS PCA, and also you can transact right on Amazon Marketplace. So it fits comfortably in this product portfolio that I alluded to earlier about helping people getting started with Istio, experimenting with it and going to scale. It basically helps EKS users go from zero to app deployment in just six simple steps. Something that could really be done in hours and it's really built on the same foundation of our much broader enterprise platform that's used by a lot of the trusted financial services around the world, Tetris Service Bridge. And it's available to anybody who wants to do an eval sort of in 30 days. Tetris Service Express is one of the three offerings we have. It fits comfortably in the portfolio. So on the one hand, we really, for people who are just starting to learn Istio, we have the Tetris Istio subscription which is enterprise support, FIPS certificate for people who are trying to get going. On the other end, we have Tetris Service Bridge which is really for mature multi-national enterprises who's looking to transform their infrastructure across many clouds and environments with Service Mesh. Tetris Service Express, what we talked about, fits in the middle, which is people who's gotten some success. They're looking to scale, but they do not know, they do not see far ahead enough to commit to a transformation. And through this range of portfolio, we really aim to solve, as you started where we started earlier, which is the whole range of needs that we started with Cloud Native. Talk a bit about how much adoption you are seeing of Service Mesh or you see, hey, there is still a room, a lot of organizations are still, they're not seeing the benefits of it. Which leads to the actual question is that, first of all, adoption and then why, what are the benefits of Service Mesh? Yeah, so what we're seeing everywhere we see, people are experiencing pains that Service Mesh can solve. And fundamentally, that's about, you know, I am running workloads, some increasingly more in Kubernetes. How do I ensure security and availability? So that's almost like a universal pain. Many are experimenting with Service Mesh because it's a kind of like a proven paradigm conceptually to achieve the goals they want. And specifically here, it's the thing I want to bring up is zero trust principles, right? There's security and abstract, then there's achieving zero trust. That's becoming kind of like the norm that people want to ignore, a common goal we want to go after. So people see Service Mesh as like a proven paradigm to achieve zero trust principles without impeding developer productivity. So that's generally the thing we see. And on top of that, we're seeing that Istio and Envoy are open source projects. That's really becoming the de facto engine behind the Service Mesh. So when you ask me about the benefit of Service Mesh, it's zero trust security and it's high availability. But in terms of why the Tetris Service Express is sort of like the place to go, is that what we're seeing is, at the same time as organizations say they want these great benefits, they see some of the foundational pieces that they learn as the engine to a car. They want the car, they don't, like the engine's not enough. So what they need from us is kind of like a management plan and capabilities for their stakeholders, such as the application teams and the central platform teams to get the business benefit of having a Service Mesh. And Tetris Service Express is really the product that's around the core open source components that give these stakeholders the business benefit of having a Service Mesh. Let's talk about how TSE kind of makes it once again easy for organizations to consume and of course reap benefits, these benefits that you talked about. There's a couple sort of things that we hear, right? One is that, so remember what we said earlier, Tetris Service Express is exclusively available on AWS geared for EKS. So the first thing we see that's fairly common is just cross-region redundancy and availability. AWS regions are generally pretty bulletproof, but as we all know outages do happen and the cost can be very high for some of our customers we see going into the millions in lost revenue, right? So what people want is to be able to automatically fail over from one region to the other and Tetris Service Express offers that because we have native integrations with Route 53, make this transparent, automatic fail over easy. The second piece is a lot of the platform teams want to be able to set up guardrails to deliver on zero trust principles that as an organization they've committed to without impeding developer productivity. So zero trust principle would be something like the NIST standards that are just published, SP800 to a 7A, it basically says you should assume that attacker is writing your perimeter, you need continuous verification of identity. So Tetris Service Express allows the organizations to set up, run and maintain policies that does continuous checks, does it by default and provide audits to prove that it's being done properly if need be. It natively integrates with the AWS private CA so to help you to manage this activity. So that's the second dimension where Tetris Service Express helps with details users. The third and the major one, the last one I would say is that it's just about extending AWS native tools to help developers increase their velocity. So the thing here is that whenever you have development teams trying to work with these advanced cloud native infrastructure, a lot of the tools kind of become roadblocks because it's hard to learn. Tetris Service Express gives the ability for a center of excellence like for a platform team to set the guardrails by defining policies, defining how canary releases should work and how it should integrate with the development tool chain, put that in motion so adopting new tools like service mesh or Kubernetes or new release processes is transparent to the development team. And here an example where I would cite is we integrate with Amazon Managed Grafana and other observability tools so that the developers can just continue to use the tools that they're accustomed to and see what's going on with their deployments transparently without really changing how they work. So those are the three things that we usually see. And you folks have had a kind of tech preview for a while now. Can you talk about what kind of feedback you received and how it impacted the final release? We've had a lot of interest broadly and I think the one aspect that new piece of information we got since going to tech preview is how many people actually have already started with evaluation of open source Istio. So there's, we see a lot of folks get started with initial evaluation with Istio. Many of them actually started with Tetris Istio Distro because it comes with EKS almost like as an add-on. And the feedback we're getting from them is that they see the potential but they reach kind of like a scaling limit as they try to go cross over one cluster or different regions. And we see this a lot in sort of organizations that want to operate nationally with some redundancy and scale.  And knowing that helped us to really shape the roadmap of Tetris Service Express because we see solving these sort of like early day one and day two problems as the primary pinpoint. And that has a huge impact on sort of like what we're putting in the GA, basically the getting started experience.  Can you also talk about of course I would not ask you to name any names if you don't want to but some of the used cases of TSC on EKS. There's a lot around financial like I would say almost like regional financial institutions and banks. We are in active deal cycles with them so I don't really want to just go with names but the problem they're solving is a bit what I alluded to earlier which is that they have a single cluster single region service mesh running and they're encountering problems scaling. And having seen potential for region outages and being able to do the mental math of the cost in last revenue they want to create redundancy but it's just too big a leap so they want to get Tetris Service Express to help them make that transition from scaling out from one region to multiple region. That's one common case and another one that's much more straightforward is again a bit of a financial services or even like we're talking to some government entities any security conscious organization is they want an easy and fast easy button for turning on MTLS or encryption between services by default and they've tried it various ways but anything that involves asking the application team to put it in the application is not going to work it's too slow so having a service mesh that helps them deliver that in a turnkey fashion is supremely important so that's another common use case and they want to do it again in EKS across multiple regions somewhat achievable like we see people with our Tetris Istio offering doing that on their own successfully much harder across regions and that's why for many organizations when they get to that point they think of something like Tetris Service Express. David, thank you so much for taking time out today and of course talk about this announcement and also share your insights about of course EKS and how you folks are helping customers there thanks for all those insights and I'd love to chat with you again. Thank you. Thank you very much.


Next at the Loxan AgTech Field Days, Arne would you like to introduce yourself and what you've got here today? Yeah, good day. I'm Arne Deniking. I'm the owner of Mobisharev Australia. We're originally a farm-based business that's gotten a little bit out of hand. We started off looking for solutions that people wanted that you couldn't find. So we started off with a cordless shearing handpiece like this. It was something I wanted for my farm. I couldn't buy anywhere so we went looking and that's how the business got started. Since then we've done a lot of field days. We talk to a lot of people and people come to me looking for solutions for things and say, hey, can't you find me this? Can't you find me that? And I really kind of liked the challenge. So we had over and over people asking us for a cordless secretary initially to trim sheep's hooves. But also now we're obviously in the horticulture game and turns out we were the first to bring one in that was fully cordless. So no cord to get tangled in. You can just wear it on your hip, very light and easy. That was the challenge to meet and it's just gone crazy. But at the same time we come from a fundamental farming point of view which is I don't like having to buy a product and then two years later it's obsolete and I have to throw it in the bin and buy another one. So we come from a standpoint of dependability, repairability. So we keep all the parts. We allow you to fix them yourselves. You don't have to go to a authorized repair and get charged squillions to replace something. That's something that we're really passionate about. So we really want people to have a product that they still own and they don't have to hand in every year to have the maintenance done just to keep the warranty. Yeah, great. So on top of that we give you two year warranty, an honest warranty so that when things do go wrong you know we're there for you. If you need parts in the middle of pruning we're at Mount Barker now. They can be overnight basically and these are all things that I value as a farmer myself when my machines break down and that's what we try and I follow people. So come and have a look. You mentioned you got around to a lot of field-based and developed that way but were there specific things that you wanted in your product that you knew from the outset like the repairability and those sorts of things? Yeah, definitely. So everything we take to market we test first. So these products here we tested for nine months in the hardest conditions we could find before we were willing to even introduce them to anyone. So we found people in with vineyards, I've got family in vineyards, horticulture doing trees and so forth and basically gave them to them and said, hey, kill this. And all of them didn't want to give them back afterwards. So we knew we're onto a good product and from there we then went to the next step. And because it's our brand, we're a smallish company, we want to make sure that when you see our brand you get something that works and not something that goes in the bin. And thanks so much. No worries.


Pixie Bobcat vs Chartreux Cat. What are the differences between these two cat breeds? The Pixie Bob breed is thought to have started from the unplanned litter of a bobcat and a barn cat in 1985. The barn cat belonged to Carol and Brewer, and she named a female kitten Pixie. Pixie became the foundation mother for this breed. While there is no hard proof that Pixie's father was actually a wildcat, it is widely believed and accepted by breeders. The International Cat Association officially recognized the Pixie Bob as a breed in 1994. It took the American Cat Fanciers Association up until 2005 to follow suit and accept the Pixie Bob as a recognized breed. Breeders are still hoping that the Cat Fanciers Association, CFA, will soon start accepting the Pixie Bob as a breed as well. With his cloak of gray fur, sober as amongst robes, it's no wonder that the Chartreux was associated with the Carthusian Order in France. The quiet mousers would have been perfect companions for members of the silent, solitary order. It's a pretty legend, but there is no real evidence that the cats were kept by the Carthusians, although perhaps they were simply not considered important enough to mention. A more likely scenario is that the cats, a natural breed, were commonly found in France at least as far back as the 18th century, performing rat patrol in stables, shops and homes. Unfortunately for the beautifully furred felines, they were also prized by furriers for their thick blue pelts. A type of luxurious wool called Pile de Chartreux may have taken its name from the soft, woolly coated cats. Pixie Bobs have a thick double coat that needs to be brushed regularly to avoid matting and excessive shedding. The texture is woolly, like a bobcat, and can be either short-haired or long-haired. Typically, Pixie Bobs have a mackerel or striped coat pattern. Sometimes these stripes are accompanied by rosettes, giving the Pixie Bob that authentic bobcat look. A Pixie Bob's coat can be a variety of colors but are mostly tawny, light gray, or reddish in appearance. The shirt true has the sturdy, powerful body of a working cat wrapped in a short, thick, water repellent coat. Besides his beautiful fur, his most distinctive feature is his deep orange eyes, set in a rounded, broad head. He has full cheeks and a sweet, smiling expression. Medium-sized ears sit high on the head. His body type is sometimes described as primitive, being husky and robust with broad shoulders and a deep chest. His relatively short and fine-boned legs rest on round, medium-sized paws that look almost dainty. A lively, flexible tail is heavy at the base, tapering to an oval tip. Don't let his ample body and solid muscle mass fool you. This is a supple, agile cat who typically weighs 7-16 pounds at maturity. Pick him up and you may be surprised by his heft.  The medium short double coat has a slightly wooly texture, which varies depending on the cat's age and gender, as well as the climate in which he lives. For instance, mature males have the heaviest coats, while females or young cats may have a thinner coat or one that feels silky. The coat can be any shade of blue-gray. The tips of the fur look as if they have been lightly brushed with silver. Kittens may have the feigned imprint of tabby markings, cold ghost barring, or tail rings, but by the time they mature the coat should have a bright, even tone. Completing the look are slate-gray nose leather, blue lips, and rose-taupe pawpads. Hello. This video is sponsored by Beemix Pets. Are you looking for high-quality cat collars at an affordable cost?

Pixie Bobs love to be with their owners, but Pixie Bobs are not considered hyperactive by any stretch of the imagination. These cats enjoy laid-back hang sessions with the family and have been described as dog-like in personality. Pixie Bobs bond very strongly with their families and love taking car rides and leashed walks with their loved ones. This is what makes the Pixie Bob an ideal cat for families with children. Pixie Bobs' ability to bond with their humans along with their patient personas make them excellent companions for children. The chartreau might well be compared to a mime, silent but communicative and sometimes silly. Playtime's interspersed with naps and meals are his idea of the perfect day. When he is not displaying his superb timing and pouncing ability, killing toys with abandon, or performing acrobatic flips as he chases a lower toy, he is an attentive and gentle companion who likes to stay near his people and observe their doings. He appreciates any attention he receives, especially if it involves scratching him beneath the chin or between the ears, but he's not demanding, content to follow you around devotedly, sleep on your bed and snuggle with you if you're not feeling well. He rarely uses his voice, preferring to direct your actions with a glance from his pumpkin-colored eyes. If need be, however, he may communicate with a small meow or chirp. Make a habit of observing him carefully and being familiar with his actions since it is unlikely that he will vocalize any discomfort or make any sound to let you know where he is. This is an adaptable cat with a middle-of-the-road personality. He's not a social butterfly, but he's not a shy wallflower, either. Ask him to watch and wait before deciding whether to greet a guest or otherwise involve himself in a situation. His calm nature makes him suited to staying home alone while you are out earning the money for his treats and toys, but he won't object to keeping company with another cat or dog. That same good nature makes him a good travel companion for an RV enthusiast or long-distance truck driver. As long as you keep his routine similar each day, he will be a happy camper. The sure-true has a sunny, polite disposition that makes him a pleasure to live with. This is one cat who does his best to obey the rules. Pixie bobs do not inherently have many health issues, but basic care is a must for these large cats. An issue that can arise with pixie bobs is a little extra weight. Be sure to maintain your pixie bobs weight at a healthy point and not mistake it for him simply being a large cat. The sure-true's short, fit coat is easy to care for with weekly brushing. The coat sheds in the spring and may require extra brushing during that time. A bath is rarely necessary. If your sure-true does require a bath, remember that it can take time to get the water repellent coat wet enough for bathing. Brush the teeth to prevent periodontal disease. Daily dental hygiene is best, but weekly brushing is better than nothing. Trim the nails every couple of weeks. Wipe the corners of the eyes with a soft, damp cloth to remove any discharge. Use a separate area of the cloth for each eye so you don't run the risk of spreading any infection. Check the ears weekly. If they look dirty, wipe them out with a cotton ball or soft, damp cloth moistened with a 50-50 mixture of cider vinegar and warm water. Avoid using cotton swabs, which can damage the interior of the ear. It's a good idea to keep them as indoor-only cats to protect them from diseases spread by other cats, attacks by dogs or coyotes, and the other dangers that face cats who go outdoors, such as being hit by a car. Cats who go outdoors also run the risk of being stolen by someone who would like to have such a beautiful cat without paying for it. Given the Pixie Bob's dog-like reputation, these cats make excellent companions for homes with other pets and with children. The Pixie Bob's devotion to its family and overall loyalty makes them excellent companions for pretty much anyone. The tolerant and gentle Shark True fits nicely in a home with children. He is more likely to walk away than to scratch if he doesn't like the way he is being handled. Parents with young children should always supervise interactions to make sure the cat isn't mistreated. He is happy to live with cat-friendly dogs, too, thanks to his amiable disposition. Introduce pets slowly and in controlled circumstances to ensure that they learn to get along together.

And so me and Piper Chase talking, and next thing, you know, Piper Chase said, man, they saying Pym C dead. I said, man, that shit, man. I did the same thing. Bullshit, because you know, I talked to Pym. That's what I'm gonna ask you, what was the time before that? I talked to him two days before he died. Me too. He said, man. Two days before? Saturday night. So he was doing a show with two short days. Saturday night. Yeah, he was doing a show with two short days. He said, man, I'm having fun.  Two short guy to show. Yeah, we on boss talk, one on one. You know, he like, man, don't cut me out, man. Don't cut me out, man. I won my million, right?  Now fucks with you. Cause we did the best of both worlds together. You know what I'm saying? So while he in jail, you know, we get that call. Pym dead. You know what I'm saying? I was about to ask you about that. I'm like, man, I'm tripping, right? Cause I'm, I'm in Atlanta. I'm in Atlanta and, you know, I had, I was trying to hide my cars. You know what I'm saying? So I had a lot of, you know, high-end cars. So it was just broad in college park.  So she, I can put two cars there. You know what I'm saying? I had like about six cars. So I had to escalate in the compressor. I had the Benz here there.  You know, and then I got some DVDs too. Yeah. Over by house. So we had like about 5,000 DVDs over there.  And so me and Piper Chase talking. And next thing, you know, Piper Chase said, man, they saying Pym C dead. I said, man, that shit, man. I did the same thing. Yeah.  Cause you know, I talked to Pym. That's what I was going to ask you. What was the time? I talked to him. I talked to him two days before he died. Me too. He said, man. Two days before? Saturday night. So he was, he was doing a show with two short days. Saturday night. Yeah, he's doing a show with two short days. He said, man, I'm having fun. I'm in LA.  Two short guy to show. He said, Ken, I'm sorry for being tardy. That was weird. You know what I'm saying? That was weird.  This nigga just called me right before he died.  And you know, it was just, it was just strange. And then once, you know, we, you know, we was hearing about it. You know, Rick Fountain, right?  To Shinara, you know, so, so, so Rick calling me like, yeah, yeah, man, it's true, man. It's true. It's true. So, you know what I mean? I'm sitting there, you know, you got to remember, we got, we have every magazine together. We don't, we're doing all these songs together. And, and, you know, a lot of people, I know he probably know about it.   These were, these were the niggas that was on the street having money. So how Pimp was gonna form the record label was, he was gonna just take niggas with money. He said, y'all niggas buy your own jewelry, y'all buy your own thing, and I'm gonna let y'all use the UGK brand. Didn't I tell you that? He teach over the exact same thing. Didn't I tell you that? He was setting everybody up, and it was up by the...   Yeah, that's what he was doing. Don't wait on me, goddammit.  If you helping yourself, you got your own bread, yeah, we can put some with something to make something happen. Which makes sense. That was the move, and all the niggas became hot. Yeah, yeah.   So we was all over, he said, go find the niggas with the money, bring them, and that's how we gonna form UGK record. That's what UGK records would have been, had Pimp not had done.  Real street dudes. You know what I'm saying? Real street niggas. And you know what I'm saying? That's how Pimp wanted to form it. He didn't want to do it. Doesn't make sense, because he's an underground king. He didn't want to make sense. He didn't want to go pick artists.  And then this brother, you know what I'm saying? He didn't understand the business. So you know what I mean? He didn't sign. But you know, Pimp only wanted to sign it because he seen me put money in traction behind the nigga. You know what I'm saying? Mm-hmm.  He was funny, bro. But to say? He didn't like, Chad didn't like rappers. And he didn't like athletes. Hey, tell him, he didn't like a lot of the big rappers neither, man. Bro, he didn't like them. Man, hey, bro, bro. Bro, some of these songs, you hear them say stuff on? I know the story behind what he's saying and who he talking to. What story is that? I can't just do that, bro. I can tell you, it made Rest in Peace, Maroy. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, Maroy. Maroy did the cross-country pivot. He had footage of Pimp talking bad about some of it. A lot of your favorite rappers. Pimp didn't like a lot of niggas that today y'all call moguls. What happened to that footage? He didn't put it out.  But you know, before he said, ay, he like, yeah, that nigga this bad, that nigga that bad, that nigga's a sucker, man.  That's all Pimp used to say. These niggas trying to steal the UGK brand, man.  The trio too, like the word trio. But a lot of niggas, you know what I'm saying? Me, like from New York and, you know, a lot of part of the country, you know what I'm saying? Me, they want to do Pimp songs.   Like, on one instance, man, with Pimp, man, go get a Benz or something. What they were saying at the funeral, you remember the people from Jive Records, they said that they was telling, we was at the funeral, so this was Jive Records said. I didn't say this. Oh, just Liz. Yeah, so they was like, they said, yeah, man.   He said, well, y'all ain't gonna help me down there with all the rich niggas, man. And I'm looking like a son, he said, I need a motherfucking brand new Benz, take part of a Benz. That's the Benz you're seeing on the Big Pimpin, yeah.  So he made them, he took them people through hell, cause you know. Hey.  Bro, that dude was a true business man. That Big Pimpin is just the time when all that was going on. That was Pimp Benz, Benz. To be in the video, Pimp made them of a buy him a Benz. Drove that motherfucker from Atlanta, where in Miami, Florida, somewhere in Florida. And he wasn't on the boat. I heard the story, he wasn't even on that, but he brought that Benz and drove it all the way down. Bro, he didn't mess with Jay-Z like that, bro. He didn't mess with Jay-Z like that. Well, I mean, Jay-Z here. He didn't mess with many people up, up, up, well. Well, see, his thing was, from personal talking to him, he was saying that they were trying to steal his style. So Pimp- The summer style. So you know, okay, now imagine Pimp being paranoid. He get high. Everybody know he get high. And he paranoid.  You know what I'm saying? We can try to see, the nigga trying to see was, I'm going to go on them nigga's side. So I'm telling Slick Puller, man, like, man, ain't no tell Jay-Z, ain't no beef, man. We all family. You know what I'm saying? It's good.   But you know, the nigga was crazy, man.


Hey there and welcome to the Nonprofit Show. We're really glad you're here today and we are thrilled to have with us Jana London joining us. Jana serves as the Senior Global Program Manager, AWS Global Healthcare and Nonprofit, Amazon Web Services Nonprofits. And I can only imagine your business card must be like eight and a half by 11 because that's a lot of titles that goes into there. But Jana's brought to us a conversation, are you leading with innovation? And we're gonna dive deep into tech, curious leadership. But before we ask Jana to share with us about her role and all of the great work she does in our community, we want to remind you who we are, if Julia and I have not had the pleasure of meeting you yet. So Julia Patrick of course is here. She is the CEO of the American Nonprofit Academy and I'm Jarrett Ransom, nonprofit nerd and CEO of the Raven Group. We are so very honored every single day that we show up for the show to say thank you to our amazing partners that allow us these opportunities like the conversation we're about to have here with Jana. So shout out of gratitude to our friends over at Bloomerang, American Nonprofit Academy, nonprofit thought leader, fundraising academy at National University, 180 management group, your part-time controller, staffing boutique, JMT consulting, nonprofit nerd as well as nonprofit tech talk. You know, I really like to say their missions are your missions because they are here to help and support you do more good in your community. Today we have Jana London coming to us from AWS Nonprofits. Welcome, welcome, welcome Jana. Thank you, thank you so much for having me and congratulations again on the achievement. Thank you. A lot of amazing content and I'm honestly just so amazed knowing that the show really started as reaction from the pandemic and keeping people connected and engaged in learning and the fact that you all are still going strong and are bringing all such amazing diverse voices who are supporting the nonprofit community. It's a pleasure to be here. I'm happy to be here to have the conversation with you all today. So again, congrats. Thank you. I'll tell you a little something about AWS. When we started, I thought, oh, you know, this is a two week gig, we'll be good to go and then we'll get back to our lives. And of course now we're moving into our fourth year. But one of the things that AWS has done for us for the nonprofit show is because we have such a massive archive and we have such a huge amount of files and the connections that we've made all over the world, we had to move to AWS because we were like, what the heck? And again, Kevin Pace. Well, I'm giving Kevin Pace some love to me, huh, Jana? Yeah, Kevin, he's the one that connected us in. And so, you know, that was really an amazing thing to see how the AWS part of the Amazon family businesses, of businesses work. So talk to us before we get into the tech side, a little bit about what your daily life is, what you do, who you engage with and how you engage with them. Sure.  So as you all introduced me, I'm a global program manager on our AWS nonprofits team, just to boil it down. And that is working on programs that are really gonna support our nonprofit community members and those we're utilizing AWS. AWS is a very large company as you all sort of have kind of touched on, but we are that little oasis that left team here. And I don't even say small team, or very large team that is dedicated into supporting nonprofits in your mission. I say yours, I know there are nonprofit listeners and leaders part of the conversation today. And that's the team in which I represent. My work in particular is to expand programs that help nonprofits access critical resources to overcome certain barriers to cloud adoption. So through programs such as our AWS Imagine grants program, but also perhaps my most rewarding and what I'm very much in the weeds with right now is building community by creating events that bring together smart minds within the social sector and serve as a connector for nonprofit leaders to Amazon, to AWS and the experts and those who are here really to support the community. So we're excited to have the Imagine conference in March 20th and I'll talk a little bit more about that. But yeah, that's a little bit about me. And it's been such a privilege in order to sort of sit in this position and witness firsthand what nonprofit organizations are doing globally with technology to accelerate their mission and increase their impact. I love that you sort of shared your own anecdote here of sort of adopting AWS as a reaction to a problem and to an obstacle and something that I think many can sort of relate to and as we all went through the pandemic and sort of meeting the moment, meeting sort of the demands. But it's been really interesting and quite a wonderful experience to sort of see different organizations small or large and whichever their missions are doing really cool things with technology and really harnessing it in order to better serve beneficiaries, better serve people and the planet. So being part of this dedicated team is awesome. And I'm here to sort of share some things that I've been able to witness firsthand and maybe sort of just kind of talk through some best practices that I've seen and everything. But again, that's a little bit about me and I hope that I can shed some light on what we mean by tech curious leader. Yeah, great intro and overall of AWS nonprofits. Thank you, Jana. Let's start diving into the tech disruption and overall tech adoption. Why does tech disruption create so much organizational fear? And before you answer that, I just wanna share Julia. I really noticed how front and center technology had become in our landscape at an AFP icon a few years ago. I walked the halls and I realized there's a lot of fundraising, there's a lot of that going on, but technology was really front and center. So talk to us, Jana, what you're seeing and hearing from your community members of this disruption and why it insights so much fear. Yeah. I think it's a fear of the unknown and the fear of change, right? I think we sort of touched on that in the introduction is there's a lot happening, there's a lot of demands both in order to better serve missions or better respond to board members and expectations and things of all that. I think there's also kind of just the change organizationally within nonprofits. It used to be kind of two sides of the house, right? There used to be the operational or maybe the more push and focus, the more pragmatic program focus and their job is really, let's serve for the mission. Then there's the other side, the technology side. You're here to make sure that our webinars are running, make sure that our websites aren't crashing, make sure that our content is easily accessible and those two sides necessarily weren't sort of talking. They had kind of their siloed ownership per se. That is all changing now, right? And technology is truly embedded in sort of the overarching sort of core strategy of organizations. And for those who don't wear that technical hat, maybe have that technical sort of piece in their name, it kind of makes a little, can make folks feel a little bit uneasy. And I think right now with the conversation of generative AI and sort of great equalizer as folks have been saying, generative AI allows everybody to write prompt send to chat bots and use this technology in a easier way, more easily accessible way. You don't have to code using certain gen AI and everything. So I think it's just accelerating the expectation that leaders have in order to fully embrace technology. And so that's why I really like using this term of tech curious leadership because we all sort of have this ownership of being technologically curious. You know, it isn't just the person who's building infrastructure, but it's having this sort of this mindset of, how do we do things differently and maybe sort of embrace and use technology to enable our organizations more. It's so interesting you would say that last night I had a conversation with somebody who is an organization and they were on about 10,000 volunteers through their program and they turn away volunteers which they just hate to do. And they're like, we need to get like a tech whiz or a volunteer services, whiz in and they decided on their own, the first thing that they were gonna do was start with technology. They're like, we need technology to be front and center and then we're gonna fill in with people. And I was like, oh my God, I was so excited about this because Jared, we don't hear that. We don't hear people say, we say, oh, we gotta get the body in first and then find the technology. Well, and I love that, Jana. And so what if we did approach every problem from that tech curious mindset, what might a technology system platform process, right? Like how would that advance our mission, advance our work-life balance, advance so many things? So talk to us a little bit more about having that importance of a tech curious mindset. And I would say culture, a tech curious culture. I like that word. I think you're right, Jared. Well, I think using kind of that volunteer recruitment as an example. So you wanna bring the people and everything and you don't wanna turn people away. And so it's how is technology going to attract those people, retain those people, right? So think about it kind of as you want to manage your volunteers. So how are we sort of gonna use technology in order to help sort of maintain the communication with the volunteers? How are we going to reach out to our volunteers using technology? How are we gonna sort of maintain that volume? I wanna kind of take a step back though and sort of define what we're saying by like that technology curious leader. It's someone who has that keen interest and that openness to understanding, exploring and integrating the technology into their leadership and into their approach, right? And so I think having that tech curious mindset, it means we're encouraging leaders to sort of ask the questions of how can we do this differently? So you use the example with the volunteers of, okay, instead of turning the people away, how can we do this differently and embrace the people and embrace the technology together? Doing that, it's how to engage the tech conversation and then the tech discussions and sort of all sort of leaning in together and learning these emerging trends and emerging technologies. And again, not being fixated on the fact that you have to be the technical expert. It's this growth mindset, right? We are in a growth period right now as there's very much a changing and dynamic landscape. And so I kind of encourage leaders to sort of put that learning cap back on. I always say and something that I always do in my work is learn and be curious, right? Lean in to what my customers are telling me and the challenges that they're telling me. Lean in and learn those best practices from the nonprofits are sort of paving the way. You don't need to be the expert but you need to be the champion. And that is kind of what we're sort of, we'll open the doors then to innovation. It's just being that champion into, let's just look at things a little bit differently. And I know that means change and change again. That's something that folks are being apprehensive but it's not let's wipe the table. Let's bring in this new thing. It's start small, you know, innovation is doing something you do every day differently. Right, so let me ask you about this because I love your approach. And it seems to me that over time as we've started to work with technology for profit and nonprofit, a lot of us thought, oh, well, we need to get the IT department. And that's gonna lead everybody and they're gonna tell us what we can do and what we can't do. And I'm wondering if we have just kind of grown a custom to letting somebody else deal with that and not engaging ourselves because I feel like, and Jared, I don't know what you think but I feel like a lot of us are so far behind on the fundamentals because we've expected somebody else to carry the water. Yeah, well, my thoughts and Janna, definitely wanna hear from you. You know, I am in my mid-40s. My son is a teenager. His knowledge of technology far surpasses mine, right? Far surpasses. And when we look at our workforce and the demographic of ages and generations, right? I think regardless of age, there's so many of us, not me, that gravitates to technology first and then there's others that are saying, I want to get there. I'm gonna need a little bit extra help, right? And so Janna would love your thought on this. That's just my perspective, Julia. Yeah. Yeah, so first to kind of address, Julia, it's bringing the lunch table together to sort of address the fact that it used to be the tech team's problem and solve it and absolutely experts, right? But the programs will only be as strong as those who put into practice what the technology teams build. And if they're building and not communicating to those users, then you're not going to have that solution that is truly going to maybe meet the needs of that volunteer recruitment problem that that volunteering recruiter might be facing. Again, use that sort of analogy and vice versa. So that's why I like using the lunch table. I know we all sort of live in this hybrid and remote work and we're not physically sitting at the lunch table together anymore, but it's still having those diverse minds and the different perspectives and really working backwards together with both the technology leaders or the technology champions and those sort of in the field per say, or those fundraising leaders who are going to be putting into practice what's the infrastructure that's built. So that's that everybody is a technology curious leader. Again, regardless of the title or regardless of the position because I would love and highly encourage the fundraising team to go ask the technology team, hey, how can we get a better 360 view at Julia, this donor in order to better understand what makes her get. And so having that conversation and having both teams, all teams part of that solution I think will sort of bring elevate and sort of again bring technology as integral as part of the fundraising or the recruiting but also sort of enable the tech team in order to sort of bring together that best practice or bring together that best solution by hearing the problems or the challenge that they want to solve for. Now, Jared, to respond to your problem or your question about this generational divide. Yeah. Again, I think it's technology has always been there. It's just there's new technology but this is just embracing new technology and emerging technologies. And to shore the Gen Z and the young sort of emerging leaders might be more adaptive to jumping on because it's new to them and they're new to the organization or whatnot. So they may not be kind of stuck in maybe some old habits or anything like that but we've always been sort of embracing. And so I think it's pace that might be the intimidation right now. Interesting. And so I think it's one of the things of just starting again, what is something that we do every single day that we want to do differently? And those leaders who are in the organization and know things that have worked and don't work, they have this really keen eye in order to be like, we've done this every single day and it's not working. So let's look and see what are these tools that we now have available that can make this work harder for us, make us work smarter for us. I love the phrase work smarter, not harder. So for me, I really challenge and say that it's not, technology is not for the young and emerging leader. It's for all of us in order to sort of, again, just think a little bit differently on how we might be able to integrate it into that core strategy. You know, you said something that's magical and we have not had anyone say this and you use that word pace. And I think that's fascinating because that gives permission for everyone to come at this as they can. And to their best, their ability because I think with change, a lot of folks get freaked out and they're high performers and then they're like, oh, well, that's just not for me. They dismiss it because it's easier to dismiss, right? And just keep knowing what you know, just keep doing what you know. And that's crippling for an organization. And so I so appreciate you kind of layering in the reality of who's gonna be doing what and how do we bring it to the table? You know, this is one of, we don't have a lot of time and this is probably one of my big questions for you. And that is, how do we know if the rest of the organization is ready to adopt or do we even concern ourselves as a leader? Do we just say tough it, we're moving forward? I mean, how do we balance all those voices? Great question. And I'd say every organization will obviously have their own sort of key indicators and of what's going to be the, ah-ha, okay, we all have everyone on board. I think it's really fostering that culture of innovation, right, being that champion. And again, to kind of build on sort of the conversation at pace, it's starting, it doesn't have to be the shiny thing that's on the show. It's starting from the basics and starting from the basics together. You know, maybe it's centralizing data organizations and everyone has been centralizing data for a long time and there's still sort of these best practices of how do we just tighten that even more? How do we get that foundation together in order to then build together? So I think it's, I always say, I like to say, working backwards. So I think we know that the rest of the organization is ready to adopt when we're all coming together and we're working backwards from what are we, what is the problem in which we are looking to address? I think another sort of indicator that we know that the team is really ready to adopt technology is that you're starting to see that technology is part of the core strategy within the organization. It is not just the tool that we're gonna use in order to put content online, but it's how are we then going to see who's watching and what content do they want to, what additional content do they want from us? You know, I think it's sort of integrating technology throughout an entire strategy and sort of framework that I sort of seen the most success, I'd say in the adoption of cloud technology. It's not a little here, it's not a little here. Maybe that's how we start building, but the roadmap is really woven through and that all just starts with again, that tech curious mindset, the growth mindset, the jumping in and not being intimidated by the pace and just kind of bring it back to, again, your story, you all sort of jumped in with utilizing cloud technology and AWS as a reaction. Let's not have to be reactive. Let's start thinking about this and being a little bit more intentional and proactive and sort of laying that framework. So I really, that's why I really sort of love kind of having this conversation because that's where we see sort of these next generation nonprofits coming. And they say that not that they're a brand new nonprofit, but it's some of these legacy organizations who are doing some really awesome things because they have taken that time and said, hey, this can be a game changer. And especially in sort of the expectations that we have now of beneficiaries, of volunteers, of donors and everything. We're in this world where content is at the, at your fingertips and it's moments, moments, moments notice. So it's true. Well, you have been really magical because I think that Jared and I have really been, trying to put these concepts forward to our viewers and our listeners and we just even the number of people that connect with us about wanting to come on the show. So many of them want to talk about technology, how they're using it. Maybe they've created something. I mean, it's a really, you need to be there and you need to be there with confidence and to realize it's a process. It's not a one and done. And I loved what you said. It's a tech curious mindset. This isn't just doing something different for the first time and one time. It's gonna be a path. And my big takeaway too, I love the pace. I echo that from Julia. Thank you, Jana, bringing that to the forefront and really bringing tech curiosity and tech culture to the forefront so that it's not a reaction. It is part of the process as we grow in that mindset. This time goes by quickly, but we would be remiss if we didn't have you speak just briefly about the March conference that you mentioned earlier. So imagine nonprofit, this is a conference. Is it virtuals that have like, tell us all the details. Yeah, the whole thing. Okay, so I'll give you my quick little spiel. So imagine nonprofit is our conference that we host dedicated for our nonprofit, Technology Curious Leaders. So this is inclusive of those in the C-suite and those who are boots on the ground. But it's really this conference meant to inspire nonprofits about how to use cloud technology. So I've come here and we shared all this sort of insights. Again, from those nonprofits in which are doing the work. And this conference is an opportunity for you all to see your peers and leaders in the space and sharing their stories and their best practices and their challenges. You know, it's a very open dialogue, open conversation. We have all sorts of sessions from TED Talks to fireside chats to some demos and getting your hands in it a little bit too with some of the emerging technology. It's gonna be on March 20th in Arlington, Virginia. So in the Washington DC area at the Amazon HQ2. So if you are curious to see what an Amazon office space, an Amazon campus looks like, come or we're opening our doors to you. And it's gonna be really exciting. This is our eighth year. I'll be there, my team will be there. Again, I represent a large team of Amazonians as we like to call ourselves that support the nonprofit sector, the social sector. So come say hello, see this face in person. So yeah, it's gonna be great. I love it. Well, this has been just a thrill for us to get you on to share with our viewers and our listeners and just everybody that connects with the nonprofit show. You know how important this topic is and how to start with a mindset before you start with anything else. And you have to back up and really look at this. Janet London, Senior Global Program Manager, AWS Healthcare and Nonprofit. Check out aws.amazon.com forward slash npo. And you will get to that point where you're gonna find more of the information about all the things that they're doing and specifically the Imagine conference. You know, just being able to be at Amazon HQ too, what an amazing thing. That doesn't happen every day I would imagine. It's fun, we got dogs all over the place. It's a lot of good energy.  So this is fantastic. Jana, thank you for your time, your expertise, your knowledge. Julie and I both, I just know we've been together long enough. To see each other's reactions. So thank you for bringing your insight to this conversation. My pleasure. Thank you again for having me. This was a lot of fun. It's been great. Well, you know, what also is great is the amazing support we have from our sponsors and our partners. They include Bloomerang, American Nonprofit Academy, Nonprofit Thought Leader, Staffing Boutique, Your Part-Time Controller, 180 Management Group, Fundraising Academy at National University, JMT Consulting, the Nonprofit Nerd herself, Nonprofit Tech Talk. These are the folks that join this day in and day out so we can have these amazing, thoughtful, insightful and very forward-thinking conversations like we've had with Jana London with AWS today. So Jana, every episode we end our time together with the saying. And it's really interesting. It means different things all the time but today it means something else because I think of talking about tech, how it can change our mindset and our workload and how we see ourselves and we see our work. And our message is to stay well so you can do well. Thank you so much everyone.


Alright good morning everyone now that our speakers have arrived I guess we are good to go Welcome to Cloud Foundry for operators. I'm Marco.

Delta State Police Command has received 10 patrol vehicles from the Isakba of Ogwashyuku Kingdom in Anarcha's South Local Government Area of Delta State. The Commissioner of Police in the state, Mohamed Ali, said the vehicles would be used for patrols so that the state could be free from criminal activities during the festive period. Speaking to our reporter Friday at Pomejero CP Ali noted that the command lost patrol vehicles in the end has protests. We knew how Delta State was prior to this efficient team under the command of CP Ali. There were a lot of kidnappings, there were a lot of armed robberies, there were a lot of ordered criminalities. But now we live in peace and I also believe that police work is not just only race with the police. The community have responsibility to assist the police and the crime-fighting.
