Hey everybody this is Brian and welcome to the what are we on 20 what the heck we're on the 20th tutorial but um I literally just published 18 19 not too long ago and there's already like 50 views on each I have a feeling there's a small group of you out there like watching these as soon as they come out anyways um so what we're gonna do today is we're going to do the obligatory hello world application um if you don't know what I mean by obligatory every time you start a new language or framework it's kind of like the traditional thing to do to make a hello world application literally just displays hello world on the screen we're going to take it a step further because I think those are pretty elementary and we're going to see what it takes to build a basic application I mean we're talking real bare bones here uh if in case you're wondering where we're at we've installed Flutter we've created our first app we set up an IDE and we've learned Dart so we're in the tour of the framework and we're actually on this second bullet point hello world so we've taken this code hello world right here and we put this into a new Flutter application and we've got our emulator up and we're just going to run this thing now I have kind of a bone to pick with the Flutter developers because this is a little misleading and I'm going to explain in depth in this detail in this tutorial why it's misleading you can see how it's hello world so it literally just displays something bang our job is done not quite let's say we wanted to put a button here well you can see let's just pick this apart the import package flutter material dot dart we're going to talk about material a lot main we have our run app which is kind of the starting point of any Flutter application and in there we're going to say it's going to return a new center which is going to center everything the child of that is a new text in that text is hello world with a text direction of left to right now for that to work uses material design true must be in the flutter section of the pubspect yaml remember burn it into your mind we are going to talk about material a lot so looking at this I thought well it'd be cool if we could just see what's out there so I clicked on widget catalog went to the basics and said oh well these are kind of neat hey they have a button buttons are always fun so let's just view the documentation on this and say yeah let's just throw a button out here and see what it takes to get a button on here so it seems like it's pretty simple we could just take this new raise button notice how it's nice enough to put the on-pressed equal null for us so we can actually link that to a method and initializing hot reload and notice how nothing happened hmm so we're going to kill this typically when hot reload doesn't work it means there was a problem and it says some elements were changed during reload but did not run when viewed as assembled you may need to restart the app for the changes to take effect so let's run this let it rebuild and I have to apologize if my voice cracks a little bit I feel like I'm coming down with a cold or something it's like first snow of the year it's pouring snow outside I live in Michigan so I'm sure I'm coming down with something so as you can see mistakes were made all right so this is the same error message over and over again separated by this line so we're just going to start reading here so you can actually see it it says no material widget found material button widgets require a material widget ancestor in material design most widgets are conceptually quote unquote printed on a sheet of material in Flutter's material library that material is represented by the material widget it is a material widget that renders ink splashes for instance because of this many material library widgets require there be a material blah blah blah blah blah blah really what's that saying is your root widget here needs to be a material widget it needs to inherit material design now what do I mean by material design this is where you kind of have to take a little bit of a leap of faith because it doesn't really transition smoothly into this you can see how there's basic widgets and then using material design so they I kind of think material design should be up above but there is a whole material design guideline here and you can see how there's a material app really what it means is conceptually think of your application as a desk and on that desk you're going to put a piece of paper and on that piece of paper you'll start drawing your widgets and scaffolds and app bars and all those neat little things so click on material app and you can see how overall satisfied with Flutter well hmm I'm going to put somewhat because we've had a boo boo nope sorry Google I'm not going to fill that out all right so maybe if I wasn't doing a tutorial when you popped up I'd fill that out but you can see material app is an application that uses material design all right so we're headed in the right direction here and it's a convenience widget that wraps a number of the widgets that are commonly required for material design applications it builds upon a widget app as adding material dash design specific functionality such as animated theme and grid paper all right and you can see it's also a scaffold navigator and things like that so it sounds like a lot of what we need so what we're going to do here is we're going to get rid of this and we're going to say new material actually let's not do that let's break this out we're going to extend the stateless widget we're not going to worry about state in this application and what we're doing here is kind of just the bread and butter of almost all Flutter applications here I'm going to say new my app and of course hot reload won't work because we have a boo boo here because we're not returning something so in here what we're going to do is we're going to return a new material app all right so notice how the little red squiggles went away so the code thinks it's correct we still got that error message up so we're going to kill the app and we're going to rebuild it and send it out to the device and see what happens here all right so pushed it out uh oh we have a boo boo it says and remember the same error message over and over again it's just in these lines package blah blah blah Flutter source material app dart failed assertion line the home equal no home equal no or home not equal no basically it's saying the home is no so we need to give some sort of home we need to figure out what's going on here right it's part of material design here and it's not really well spelled out at least I didn't find it right away following the Flutter docs so there's home it's actually part of the material app and basically it was an assert call that said hey this is null so we need to figure out what to put here hmm so let's make a new scaffold and let's just save this notice how it says initializing hot reload and then reloaded meaning we go back here and tada it suddenly put something out on the screen we have a big white box so what is this thing and notice how it says slow mode you may not be able to see it over that clock but it says slow mode okay so my app is a stateless widget which is just you know a widget and then the build is going to return or render whenever you see return and build basically we're rendering a material app so this giant white box is the material app the slow mode basically means that we have not compiled this for production yet this is like a debug version if you will so it's not really meant for the real world we're just doing this because we're goofing around on our computer if we were to send this to like the apple store the google play store we would want to compile this for production and actually make it so that it's not in slow mode which we may cover in future tutorial actually we'll probably cover in future tutorials so you will see slow mode a lot don't be alarmed so this is a pretty plain application what does the scaffold really do for us why are we messing with that think of a scaffold well like a scaffold you see these around buildings when people are washing windows or painting they're just you know structures that you put up so that you can get to different parts of the application or different parts of the building in that analogy so what we're going to do here is at bar equal new at bar let's actually say flutter hello flutter and you can see hot reload so suddenly we have a app bar so the app bar is this top blue section and really all this does is it lets the user know what you're working with the name of the application or what page in the application and you can put buttons and things of that nature up here think of it like a giant toolbar now this extra white area down here is called the body and that's what we're going to work with next body would be the body or the working area that the end user would actually work with here so I'm going to say new center and then in center we're going to say child new text save that hot reload will pick it up and then bang centered is our hello world so remember the whole goal of this is we just wanted to put a button on the screen so let's figure that out let's get rid of this so we're going to put our new raise button and save this and notice how hot reloaded that time so this little gray thing is actually our button we want to put some text in there so we can kind of see what's going on here once I actually buy button and we'll break this out into a new line so it's easier to read what's going on here whoops there we go so very faintly it grayed out it says my button it's grayed out because we don't have an on press in here so we have our app bar we have our body and in our body is centered we have our button so why didn't this work before and why is it working now that's the million dollar question remember at the very beginning of this when we tried adding the button it said it needed an ancestor of material widget it needed material design you're going to hear material over and over and over again while you don't have to use material widgets and material design you would be fighting a massive uphill battle kind of the de facto way of doing things in flutter is to use material design that's why I wanted to start this with the material app because it's the bread and butter of what you're going to be working with in the future so that's why it's working now because as you can see the button is actually part of this widget tree and the root of that tree is a material app that has all the material goodness that we need so that is a lot of talking I hope you found this educational entertaining and we're going to work with this a bit more I think the next video we're going to actually do some basic layouts and just kind of figure out how things are laid out but I wanted to show you just the bare bones flutter application like a real quote-unquote application not the little hello world they had on their website if you found this

Hello students, it's Shayna your teacher from espressoenglish.net and today I'm going to teach you about the phrasal verb point out. If you like my lessons and you want to learn more from me check out my courses. I have online courses that can help you with all the areas of the English language from speaking to listening, vocabulary, pronunciation, phrasal verbs and more. So if you're interested just click on the link in this video or in the video description for more information. Are you ready to learn point out? I'm going to describe a situation where we would use this phrasal verb and I want you to guess whether point out means a do something quickly, b indicate or comment or c recommend something. All right you can post your guess in the comments to this video. Let's say I'm talking to my friend and my friend is going crazy. She's really upset and really worried because she read an article on Facebook that says a new scientific study found that her favorite food is actually really bad for for your health and it might even cause cancer. So now my friend is really worried about her health and she's wondering if she has cancer because she has eaten a lot of this particular food. In this situation I would point out that she shouldn't believe everything she reads on Facebook because it might not be true. So maybe she should do a little bit more research before getting really worried about her health. Based on this example, what does it mean to point out a, b or c? Post your answer in the comments and I will reveal what's correct in just a moment. Point out means b to indicate or comment. This phrasal verb is a little difficult to give a really specific definition for but the verb but the verb point by itself is a physical action that means to do this with your finger. It's a physical action that we use to call attention to or indicate some object. Now point out refers to verbal communication. So when we point something out it means we call attention to a particular fact by speaking. So in this example, when my friend was really worried, I pointed out I commented or called her attention to the fact that not everything written on Facebook is true. So now that you know what it means to point something out, try to use this phrasal verb in your own English. Post a sentence and try to use it. I look forward to reading your comments. And again, if you'd like to join one of my online English courses, click on the link so that you can see the list and sign up today. Thank you for joining me for today's daily phrasal verb and I'll see you in the next lesson.


so what's the first thing that comes to your mind when you look at this chart you're seeing a high then you're seeing a low and you're seeing a lower high a lower low a lower high right so then you start connecting the dots and it's basically to down trend so obviously in your mind you're thinking this is a bearish chart then if you zoom out just a bit you can see that the actual overall trend is up and this is just a slight pullback in the overall trend a common question that I get asked all the time is what time frame do I use when I tell people that I use all time frames people are usually a little confused with that answer today I'm going to explain exactly what it is that I mean when I say that by introducing you guys to the top down analysis this is a very basic skill that you must incorporate into your trading habits to be able to see the big picture be a more consistent winning trader and be able to quickly look through charts identify supporting resistance zones identify trends and identify possible trade setups very very quickly so if you're looking to become a better trader this is a good place to start let's dive right in hey what's up j here and welcome to bitcoin daily bringing you guys the best tips tutorials and ideas to help you guys become profitable and successful traders the goal of this channel is to empower you guys with the resources and knowledge to help you get to that next level so make sure to subscribe hit that like button and turn on that bell notification so that you're notified as soon as we post the videos five times a week so what exactly is a top down analysis a top down analysis is used to refer to doing trend analysis on longer time frames before narrowing down to smaller time frames so if you look at this chart you can see this chart we're currently looking at the one month chart if we were to go to the let's say daily chart it looks completely different right so basically the whole idea here is to get a more comprehensive view of the price action by moving from wider time frames to smaller time frames when doing a technical analysis the first thing I always do is look at the daily weekly and monthly charts to determine the overall long-term trend and as well as identify more long-term support and resistance levels before moving into a closer and smaller time frame so for example if bitcoin is bullish on the daily chart and I'm seeing bullish momentum on the hourly chart then I might zoom in to the 15 minute or five minute chart to look for some more precise entries so let's start from the top we're looking at bitcoin currently and we're going to zoom out all the way to the one month candle so this is the one month time frame every single candle stick here represents exactly one month so we can see as far back as 2017 and even further back to 2015 it gives us an overview on exactly what's gone on throughout all these years since 2015 all the way up to 2017 crazy crazy bull run to 20k then it tells us a story about the bear market where we went down from 20,000 all the way down to a low of around $3,000 and then finally it takes us back up from that $3,000 to about 15,000 in 2019 then back down to $3,000 again during the pandemic on March of last year and as you can see in this story we went from the bottom of $3,000 and rose like a phoenix from the ashes and went all the way up to new all-time highs of today which are which is in the $50,000 range so this is always how we like to start off our technical analysis when looking over different cryptos different outcoins it could be stocks it doesn't matter what it is this is the best way to start looking at a stock especially or crypto especially if you're not familiar with it you want to always know the overall trend and with the overall story because you want you want to see the big picture to then zoom in and make better decisions remember that technical analysis and trading is all about information the more information you have the better decisions that you can make so that's why you start at the top and work your way down because you want to have all the information you want to gather as much information as possible before risking your hard-earned money so let's go ahead and mark some supporting resistance levels here so I really marked the first one which is this bottom one which is right around that 3,000 level as you can see if we zoom in here you will see that that's basically was the bottom here doing this bear market in 2018 and 19 and when we had the dump of the pandemic it also bottomed out at the same exact price another thing to note remember that technical analysis is never ever exact numbers it's always zones so that's why when when you see this and you see this even though they're not the same exact price it doesn't matter it's in the same zone and that's what matters so what else do you guys see here that could be a support resistance so one that we see right off the bat is this area right here as you guys can see it kind of held up there for a while right around this 6000 area and you see that it also tested it right here so this would be a good area to add another support level there all right we continue looking at the chart another good spot is going to be guess where right around here as you can see there's a lot of price action there a lot of price action there and that's right at that 10,000 level which is also a psychological level so it's definitely a support and resistance level since there's a lot of price action there so we can go ahead and mark that area the next spot I'm seeing uh some price action is right here you see right here and you see right here right so that could also be another area of interest so we're going to go ahead and mark it right at that around that 20 12,000 mark and the final area is going to be from the 2017 where the candles basically closed and opened as you can see we also had price action at that same level and again price action at the same level so that's enough for us to call it another support and resistance level and right at that 14k range of course we're gonna go ahead and do this all time the previous all time high here which you can see here there was a lot of price action in that area so we can definitely say that would be a support and resistance zone so if we go up higher now more into what's been going on lately you can see here there was a lot of price action between these two months right at that 30k range so we're gonna go ahead and mark that 30k range as a support and resistance area as well and then finally as you guys know we just hit 50k today and as you guys will know 50k is gonna be a very big part of crypto moving forward so i'm gonna go ahead and mark that $50,000 area as a support and resistance area as well all right so we started with a blank chart and now just by looking at the monthly chart and overall trend we can tell the very important areas here as we were able to mark some very important points of interest where there was a lot of price action so if there's any retracement or any trades that we're taking we just kind of look for the big support and resistance areas in the overall one month chart time frame to make better decisions when we zoom in another thing you can do as well is draw a femenachi retracement tool from the bottom from the basically the start of the run to the top of the run so what we're gonna do we're gonna go ahead and do it from down here which is the march during the pandemic up to the top of that run now that gives you extra supports and resistance as you guys can see right here here here here those are all different levels where there's going to be price action usually or there's been already price action so you can see here at this exact spot there was a close of the candle and an open of the candle so there was a lot of there was a lot of volume a lot of things going on in that area you can see here it looks like this played as a support there and you can see here this one's actually in line with this other resistance that we spoke about so now we're ready to go on to our weekly time frame so what I like to do once I start zooming in get these levels that are further away and that are not very important right now and just kind of make them as small as possible so that they don't distract you too much you can even fade it out so that the lower the opacity on it so that again it does not pop out too much on the chart because you kind of you always want to try to keep a clean chart overall all right now we're a lot more zoomed in so you can kind of get a better idea of exactly what's been going on on the weekly chart so after the monthly you zoom into the weekly usually we look for important levels and we try to point those levels out the same way we try to make sure that the levels that we use for our Fibonacci and you know the other ones that we posted which we want to make sure that they make sense so as you guys can see here both the Fibonacci and one of our support areas are there so this level definitely makes a lot of sense here there was a whole lot of price action so that's definitely a very important level to use when you're looking for a trade this would be a perfect level a perfect area to enter a support entry there then obviously here this was also a very important level you can see the Fibonacci retracement level there so this was definitely a strong resistance there and now we couldn't see it on the monthly chart but we can see it now in the weekly chart and once we break out of a resistance like we did here that resistance gets flipped into a support so if we were to for some reason get traced back down over here this would be a good entry as a support entry to bounce back up and then as you can see towards the top here we're obviously at a big resistance here so what you would be looking if you're looking to enter a trade up here you kind of want to enter a trade above this area right you don't want to enter a trade so close to this that's why any trades you know within this area right here are a lot riskier because you're trading at the top of the resistance right so you want to trade once we get a breakout above the resistance kind of like we did right here with that candle all right so now we're looking at the daily timeframe we've zoomed in yet again and again you can see how we got rejected there how we had the support there how we had rejection there again before finally getting this breakout which is what's led us now to this new resistance area there now what the daily chart also shows us is better patterns right so here you can kind of see that this is like this is a bull flag here right so we're kind of just grinding up between these levels as soon as we're just consolidating while kind of ascending up with this support and resistance that are both ascending so now we can start taking small you know patterns like this to look for trades but we're keeping in mind the long-term resistance long-term supports so for every trade we're taking we're keeping in mind even though now we're zoomed into the daily and and kind of looking for daily patterns to trade we're keeping in mind what the long term weekly and month support and resistances are to find the highest probable trades possible so for example right now a high probability trade would be a breakout above the current highs but you have to be careful because there will be a lot of fakeouts there there will be a lot of sellers at that 50k range because it's a very big resistance level but on the other side of that once we do break out of there it's going to be a big big move now if we get pushed back then we're looking back at different areas where history showed us that will be big strong support areas right so both of these areas here would be a good support to enter if we were to drop back down right so let's go ahead and draw now a kind of a trend line here for on the daily chart right just kind of to have an idea of what we're looking at we're also drawing a trend line on the top of this pattern and now we're going to zoom into the four hour chart so notice how we continue to gather more and more information and then continue to zoom in to have a better idea of a trade setup that we can possibly come across so now some possible trade setups would be on this ascending trend line right which is going up as you can see it's bounced there it's bounced there and it could possibly bounce here if we get rejected back down here from where we currently are you can also see that this area right here where it got rejected is right at the top of this current pattern that it's trading within so a good idea would have been selling up here and then looking to buy back in down here so currently we're almost right at the bottom here so that level is right around that 48k area so automatically we're looking at 48,000 as a possible support entry we'd be looking to ride that 48,000 back up to the kind of the top of this range we'd obviously we definitely be taking profits starting at 50k but we can look to possibly go as high as 51 as it did previously now we're zoomed into the hourly chart and you can see how much more information it gives us on an hour to hour basis so now we're really zoomed in we we know what's going on overall and now we can start looking for trade setups here as you can see so you see that that 48k range is where we got that bounce you'll see that over here there was a price action there was a whole lot of price action here at 48 as well and we had a big rejection there as well so 48,000 is definitely a point of interest that you can use to enter a trade now that we've seen the whole picture we know what the overall trend is doing and we haven't and we've zoomed in to see where we can take an entry with this information that we've gathered all right guys so hopefully you guys enjoyed this video and we're able to understand exactly what I was trying to explain the whole idea of this is to start at the top bigger time frame so you can see the entire picture then you start zooming in taking in information from each each of the different time frames and the more information that you have available for yourself then the better that you can predict or try to set up a trade that makes sense and has the highest probability possible so that is the whole idea of a top-down analysis learning this will make reading charts a whole lot easier basically I just look at the chart I open up charts I look them for about five minutes and I can tell you know where the trade setups will be and if there's any possible trade setup at the moment just by doing a top-down analysis you know within five minutes and that's basically it because I've already set up the monthly supporting resistance levels I've set up the weekly levels and then when I go into the daily and four-hour charts everything's already set up I just got to look at it see if it's at any of those points that of interest that I want to take a trade in if not then I move into the next one if there is a setup then I go ahead and start looking at setting up a plan to enter a trade there so that's pretty much it guys I hope you guys have enjoyed this video if you found value in this

In this presentation, we're going to allocate expense amounts to their proper classes. In other words, we currently have them classified as unclassified. We're going to assign them to a class, which will assign them to their function or their use, what they're going to be used for, which will include the admin, the fundraising, and the programs of community service and education. Let's get into it with Intuitz. QuickBooks Online. Here we are in our not-for-profit company or organization dashboard. We're going to go on over to Excel to see what our objective will be. So we're going to be opening up the Excel. We are in the tab 10, so we're currently in tab 10. I'm going to scroll up and noting we're going to be considering our financial statements now. So you'll note we entered our information in the format of a trial balance here, where we had to note some things in kind of vertical fashion, including the contributions with restrictions and without restrictions and so on and so forth. Now we're going to be going over to our statements and creating our statements with this. So we have the statement of activities. We'll note the statement of activities is now breaking this information out in more of an adding like a dimension to it, where we have the with restrictions and without restrictions or without donor restrictions and with donor restrictions. And that allows us to have basically one account that we can kind of break out in more of a column type of format. So we have that information. If we look at the expense side of things, here we have the expense side of things. Now on the expense side of things, we need to show in some way, shape or form on the financial statements, both the expenses broken out by what they're used for, their function, we could call it, and what they are in terms of their nature. And that would be like the normal use of the utilities, phone, expense and so on and so forth. So here you'll note that we see it by their function, what they're used for. And then we would also give another report to break out their, their nature. So this is a report that shows them by nature and that means rent, salaries, telephone, and then by function, the programs that they're used for, as well as admin and fundraising. But note, again, if we do that all in one report, this gets kind of overwhelming. So what we want to do is, is provide a report, you know, a little bit more information and then, and then more information that is needed. So what we're going to do in QuickBooks is use the class feature to help us with that. So we obviously entered it into QuickBooks with the normal accounts, which are going to be the nature accounts. So they will show up by, by account on the reports. Then we're going to use the class feature to break it out by function so that we can add the functions that we want in the reports. And we can then collapse those reports or run different reports and use the collapse and feature and possibly use the collapse and feature in Excel to help us to present the reports in the way that we would want to make, to meet our objectives, to make it easy to read, to provide the information that is necessary and then to expand on them as needed. So what we want to do now, in order to do that, what we've done is we've entered our expenses in and we just let that, we just did the data input and let the data input be kind of separate from the allocating to the expenses in accordance with our percent breakout because that's an easier thing to do. And then now that we have entered all the expenses in the system, we will see them in our profit and loss by class all grouped into unclassified. Now we're going to be breaking them out in accordance to the percentages that we have determined that they should be broken out in. So we're going to go back into all the unclassified areas and we're just simply going to break out to the organizations by class to the expense categories by class between the public health, the education, the programs, these are the two programs and then the management, or we put it in there as admin and the fundraising. We're going to use the percentage breakout of the 20 of the 40, 20, 20, 20. OK, let's take a look at it. We're going to go back on over to QuickBooks. We're going to open up the PNL first. So let's go on down to the reports to open up the profit and loss report. So we'll go to the reports here. We could open the profit and loss by class or just make one. So I'm going to go to the standard PNL here and then I'm just going to make a profit and loss by class. I'm going to scroll back up top or from January to we probably do this at the end of the month. So 01, 31, 2, 0 and then let's run that report. Running that report. There we have it. Now let's add the classes selecting the drop down and add the classes. So we have the classes for it. We're going to run that report going to close the hamburger for now. Going to hold down control and see if we're up at that one, two, five. And here we have our information. Now what we're looking for are the items to the right, which are the items that are not specified. So we're going to take each of these non specified items and specify them to a category. So it might be a little bit easier if we were to filter this out and we could filter this out by just seeing the not specified column. So I'm going to go back up top and I'm going to say, all right, let's take a look at this and let's see if we can customize this report. And I'm going to go down to the filtering options. I'm going to go to the filtering options here. I'm going to use the classes. So once you check off the classes, it'll bring that up top. I'm going to select the drop down and I want to look at the not specified. So I want to just see the not specified column and then run that report. And these are the items then that we need to go back into and adjust. Once we do, they'll be disappeared from this report.  I'm going to duplicate this tab. I'm going to right click and I'm going to duplicate this tab. So now it's to the right. I'm going to go back to the tab to the left.  I'm going to open up another P and L. So we'll open this up and we want the P and L, the profit and loss. And I'll run the same dates up top. So I'm going to run the same dates. It's going to be January, let's say to 01, 31, 2, 0. And then I'm going to close the old hamburger up top. I'm going to run that report. And then let's take a look at this one by class as well. So I'm going to select the classes. So in the over here in the classes, just like we have in the past, going to run that report. And so now we have the comparison. So I've got these items. Once they're classified, we'll see the classes show up here. And then we'll see the unclassified column disappear in the report to the right. This one, we may even want to filter down a little bit. And customize this report, because what we're focusing in on this report is if we hit the filter option, we want to go to the classes. And for this one, what we really want are the unrestricted. So unrestricted, including the 20 percent, the 20 percent, the programs and these items. Now, all you really need, I think, is to check the unrestricted, but I'll just check them all off and then run that report. And then as we move them from unrestricted, this report will then populate with the restricted items. All right, let's check it out. So I'm going to go back, I'm going to right click on this tab up top, right click on this and duplicate it. So we have room to on the left to do stuff. Then I'm going to go back to the P and L, the profit and loss. And now what I want to do here is every time I'm going to drill down into the actual data and then change it and change the allocation. And then I want to go back to this report. So every time I'm going to drill down on it, I'm actually going to create a new tab and then drill back down on it. I think this is the most efficient way to do it. So I want to be able to make a new tab. I'm going to right click on this tab up top, duplicate this tab. Then I still have it to the left. And now I'm going to open it on the right, where I'm actually going to drill down and make my change here. So now I'm going to drill down and make the change. I'm going to drill down on this depreciation. So I'm going to zoom into it, go into the depreciation account. I'm going to close the hamburger up here again. It keeps on trying to open and then I'm going to open that journal entry. This is an actual journal entry type of format is what was used. And so this is the one which was the adjusting entry. Now, this depreciation, what we need to do is break that out now. We want to break that out by class. We want to assign the classes to it. So you might want to hold control and scroll down to get it to that 100 percent. So it doesn't do anything funny. We had 100, 100. And so what I'm going to do is I'm going to keep the original journal entry and I'm going to replace the debit now by assigning out the classes. So I'm going to say this is depreciation. Now, I'm not going to put the amount here. I'll go back and add the amounts. What I'm going to do is add the classes that I want to go to. So I'm going to go to the classes and add those. I'm going to select the drop down to the right. And we're going to just select the classes that are unrestricted. So if the admin, which is 20 percent, the admin 20. And then I'm going to do it again. I'm going to say depreciation, tab, tab, tab. I'm going to add the other class, the next class, which is going to be fundraising at 20. I'm going to say tab, tab. And then I'm going to do it again. I'm going to say depreciation expense. And there we have it. And then we're going to pick up the next one in the class, which is going to be for the program at 20 percent. So the community program, tab, tab, tab. And then one more, too many tabs, too many tabs. We're going to go back here and say depreciation again. And we'll pick that one up and we'll pick up the last item here, which is going to be the education. And then I'm going to say tab, tab, tab, tab. And then I'll adjust the amounts. I'm going to try to make this column a little bit larger. So if we make this column a little bit larger here, and I'm doing this just like Excel, I'm putting my cursor right in the middle of the column and then dragging out. And if we do it far enough, then we'll be able to see our percentages that we put in the name. So then we could just pull out the trustee calculator here. So I'm going to pull out the trustee calculator. I'm going to make it a little bit smaller. It's a fairly large calculator. And then I'm just going to be picking up now that the amount is 4,400, which we're going to reallocate. So I'm going to say, all right, 4,400, 4,400 times 0.2, 20% means that this one should be 880. So I'm going to say 880 here, tab, tab. Well, that's not tab, tab, tab, tab. And then I'm going to pick up the next one, which is going to be the 4,400, 4,400 times this time 0.2, obviously, which is the 880. So 880 here. This one's 20% 2, which is 880 here. And this one's going to be 40%, which again, we could, I'll just put it in there. We're going to say 4,400 times 0.4 and enter. Whoops. We'll do it one more time, 4,400 times 0.4 and enter. And that's going to be the 1,760, 1,7. Get the 1,760. All right. Now, if we compare that to what we have over here, let's just check it out on the depreciation. So that looks proper. So here it is here. OK, so then let's go back on over. Now I'm going to delete then the depreciation one. I'm going to delete the top one. And now we should be back in balance. That's of course going to be our check to see that if we're back in balance here. So then I'm going to say save and close. And yes, so there we have that. And there we have that. Now this is going to take us back to that detailed report. Now we should be able to go back up and then go back to our transaction detailed report and here it is. So if we couldn't, we can go back to the prior tab if we need to, if we get lost in that transaction. So it notice it disappeared here and the one that's not specified. It should then reappear in the profit and loss. If we if we update this one running the report, I mean the profit and loss now looking at the at the classifications unrestricted. And here it is admin has now popped up. We have the 880 and the fundraising and the community service 880 in the education. OK, let's go back over to the tab to the right and let's do this again. It'll be a little bit faster once we get used to this. I'll take a little bit of time here, but we're going to go into the office supplies, office supplies, we have the bill and then we have to check. I'm going to be opening this one up. We're going to open each of these up. Let's open the bill. Little different type of form here. Let's make sure that we're at a hundred percent. Yeah, it looks like we're at a hundred percent here. So that's good. So this item I need to break out in a similar fashion. Same kind of idea here. We're going to be assigning these out. There's going to be going to office. We're going to say office supplies and then I'm going to pick up the class first. So let's first pick up the classes. I'm going to select the dropdown and say we want the twenty percent to admin and then office supplies again. And we're going to pick up the class. Then this time going to drop down twenty percent fund raising. And then we want the office expense again, office expense. And then this time we want the amount going to the community service and then we're going to do it again. We're going to say office supplies. And this time we want to hit the dropdown and make that education.  And I'm thinking it's a little finicky sometimes. But if I close that up, then we can see that percentages. Twenty, twenty, twenty, forty is what we want. So then I'm going to be picking this up and I'm going to say, right, there's the four thousand five hundred times point two or point two, which is nine hundred. So we would think that that would be nine hundred, nine hundred, nine hundred. And then, of course, the four five zero zero times point four being one thousand eight hundred. So we have the one thousand eight hundred. Then it's going to be applied to the forty percent. Then you want to delete the item on the top. The original item that was on there for four thousand five hundred. And then we should tie out again. So this amount of top should be the same. And then we're breaking out nine hundred, nine hundred, nine hundred and one thousand eight hundred so that we can apply to these classes properly. So then we're going to save that. So you're going to want to save and close. And that'll take you back to your prior report to the same thing for the second item in there, the five hundred. So I'm going to go into the five hundred and do the same thing this time with a check form, close this item out and then open up the five hundred. So we'll open this up and again, I don't want I got rid of it. So then we're going to say this is going to be once again office supplies. So I'll pick that up office supplies. I'm going to pick up the class. We'll say class, I'm going to make it 20 percent next one, office supplies. And then we're going to say this one is going to be the next one, which is going to be 20, then I'll do it again. We're going to say office supplies and then we'll pick up the next one, which is going to be the program of the community service. And then we'll do it again. We're going to say office supplies and then we'll pick up this one, which is going to be the 40 percent. Then we can make this column a little bit larger so we can see our percentages, although we probably have them memorized at this point, 2020, 20, 40. So the five hundred, five hundred times point two is going to be 100. So we'll put the amounts, 100, one, forgot the one, just two zeroes. It's not going to do it. This one's 102 because it's 20 percent as well. This one's 102 and then 40 percent will just 200. We won't do the calculation on that one. Once again, you'll delete the original amount up top with the trash can. And that'll leave you with 100, 100, 100, 200. And they're broken out to our classes here. And then that'll add up to the five hundred total, the same amount that we originally had in there. So then we're going to scroll down. That looks good. We're going to go ahead and say save and close, save and close. Then if we go back to our profit and loss, which is not specified, it should have disappeared over here. So it's no longer there. If we go to the P&L on this side, the P&L that's broken out by the classified areas, we're going to say run that report. So it updates our report here. There we have the office supplies, 100 or 1000, 1000, 1000 and 2000 for the education. If we look at Excel, that should tie out to what we have in Excel. Let's take a look at the breakout that we did here for the office supplies, which is also the 2000, 1000, 1000, 1000 as well. So that's let's go back on over and we're actually going to stop here. It's going to end. We'll enter the rest of them next time. We'll continue with this process and enter the rest of the expense items as we go. So we're going to continue. If we go back to that profit loss on the right, we're going to continue to the rest of these and allocate these out. Continue with our process. That's going to be it for now. Let's get out of here.


All right, so tonight we are going to be reflecting upon redefining your relationship with work. Bring Club, of course, is our education program designed to provide education about neurodiversity and, more than that, to bring people together based on a shared vision of what's possible and to contribute to systems change by shifting social norms. By learning together, unlearning together, promoting new ways of thinking and being. Of course, this is not for medical or mental health advice. It's not a support group all brains blog has programs like this, but this one's an education program. It's not a place to discuss or solve individual specific problems or process trauma, and it's also not a neurodivergent affinity space we welcome everyone here, anyone here coming to learn and learn. You can participate however you are most comfortable, as many of you have figured out if you've been here a while you can have your video on or off, and even if it's on we do not expect anything of you. So feel free to walk and remove or fidget or stem or eat, take breaks, whatever you need. And you're welcome to communicate in whatever form you are most comfortable.  So during that time we'll have the chat is the way that you can communicate but after after that you're welcome to use mouth words or type in the chat. So chat to messaging or private messaging is also enabled so you're welcome to send messages and questions that way too. And in addition to affirming all aspects of identity. We prioritize safety and the cult the needs of the collective so giving space for others to process. And, you know, we try our best to navigate what we call conflicting access needs the idea that we all have different brains. We all have different needs, but and inevitably those needs are going to conflict from time to time. Access needs being of course anything that anyone needs for full and meaningful participation. We talk a lot about access needs here at brain club. So speaking which close captioning is enabled you just have to toggle it on if you'd like to use it. So depending on your version of zoom you might see the lab transcript closed captioning icon. But if not look for the more dot dot dot and choose show subtitles and you can do the same and choose hide subtitles if you want to turn them off. And that's my visual support to actually open the chat because I always forget. The chat the chat is a great example of conflicting access needs. There are many brains that find the chat to be a really important accommodation to be able to communicate without mouth words, also to be able to like get your thoughts out as soon as they come to mind. Also to like have the conversation not necessarily happened to have happened like right here so you have a thought like maybe takes a few minutes to percolate and then you have something to share. So the chat is a way of doing that. And of course that more people can share ideas than would possibly have time to speak out loud. It's also a way of directly engaging with fellow community members and to meet people that way and to even make arrangements to continue your conversations offline. On the flip side there are lots of brains, maybe even the same brains for whom the chat can be really distracting. And like sometimes there's this startle response when it pops up and sometimes it moves really fast and it can be really visually cluttering. So yeah, this is a great example of conflicting access needs. So, our suggestions for navigating conflicting access needs because a lot of people talk about this. After you see a chat pop up, and it's bothering you, try not closing the window. This way when more chat messages come it'll replace the old messages but won't have the pop up thing. There's also this thing called chat preview. You can turn it off. There's a little up carrot next to the chat window.  And last thing about the chat, still talking about the chat. If we're going to use the chat, we just ask that you just type in the main box instead of using the reply threads. You can certainly tag a person by typing the at symbol and their name if you want to get their attention. But the reply thread thing has people's like bouncing up and down on the chat. Okay, I'm done. So, we are continuing our February 2024 theme of connection is path to health. So, when we think about all of the different ways, all of the different domains of life that contribute to health like work is a place we spend a lot of time. And for a lot of people work does not work for our brains. And that's why we talk about employment a lot here at all brains belong. What we know is that autistic and ADHD adults are far more likely to struggle with employment. Depending on what study you read autistic adults are two and a half to eight times more likely to be unemployed or underemployed 75% of each year's experience employment related challenges. And what we know is that employment and health are related in both directions. What we don't want and what we have far too often is the square peg that is hammered to fit into the round hole. It's like shoving, you know, like society shoves people into containers that do not work. And what happens, you break the peg. When we think about all of the different types of access needs that play out in work, whatever type of employment scenario someone is in or not in. When work does not work, it is often because of unmet access needs. And when we think about all of the different ways that humans are othered in this society, you know, if you are othered for aspects of race or gender sexuality or class or any of it.  We have a lot of people that are left out of a lot of things. What we know is that social inequity plays out and impacts everything's a really busy slide. But the concept being that when we think about access to basic needs in society. Having access to employment is like can is a has a really huge impact on all of them. And before we begin talking about relationship with work. I don't think we can talk about relationship with work without talking about class and everything that goes into class and class culture. So class defined by Kessel and Berkfield in parenting for social justice, you know, one of our favorite books here at brain club with the idea that there is relative social hierarchy, ranking in terms of income wealth status power. So people have different access to resources.  And then of course, as I as I mentioned, the intersectionality of all the different identity characteristics that also come to impact access to resources. So these prompts from the team I think again training and consulting relationship to work has many things. Why do we work. How do we feel or think we should feel about our work with the relationship between paid work and other parts of life. So the emotional relationship to the economic system the economic system being capitalism and depending on, you know, all kinds of factors that you may have a different different relationship to the economic system. Be what's even been modeled about work for you even an early childhood when we're laying down our initial beliefs about the world. And these intersectional factors. So, for the next 20 minutes or so we are going to hear from some of our community members. And we'll, we'll, what we've done is we've taken perspectives and experiences we've intermixed them. And I think I think we'll hear some some familiar themes but also some some differences across people's experiences, and then we'll have plenty of time for conversation afterwards. So David, take it away really think we need to reimagine work. Don't tells you that your value comes from what you produce, which is of course bogus, you know the more productive you are the whatever and like the idea of like work work has become so removed from. I don't know, meaning purpose identity and like it doesn't need to be those things but for some people it is those things and there's this, you know, tension so I don't know for for you. I'd love to know how do you personally define the concept of work. It's interesting, because my definition of work has changed. So I started working when I was 17 at a answering service. And from there. I loved it. I love talking to people. I like that I wasn't in front of them. I enjoyed that part. And I, from there went into a sales position. And I really, I liked that it was a little bit harder to like deal with people, but I found that I was really good with computers. I had already taken some computer classes in school. So I really got into into technology. People are like on this, like this path of like, this is your menu of options in your life and like you pick one of them. In an ideal world, how do you enter the workforce. Entering the workforce, there is to an extent a leap you have to start somewhere. So the company that I worked for they sold cell phones. So I had my first cell phone while I was working there. And I did stay in sales for a little while I had sold cars, but it was hard having that face to face. And I was really horrible at breaking the ice. It was very challenging for me to like talk about. Interesting things I guess for people and then I would, I would hyper like think about that and then it would make me even more isolated. And you're in that plot process of exploring and reflecting so finding something that feels like it matches your identity your needs your values, but accepting that there will be a level of compromise. I mean work is work. People work ideally not just for the paycheck, but part of it is because there's a paycheck. My upbringing, my father was a sales rep and he worked really, really hard. He didn't have a high school diploma and he was like a hero to me because he worked so hard for our family. And it wasn't easy because he I could see the struggle that he had. And my mother was always like maybe not quite an executive assistant, but pretty close to that. And she had really good work ethic. That's what I thought I was supposed to do. You know, I thought that I was supposed to find this job and that I would just be really good at it. And, you know, it would be amazing. It was hard. As kitchens tend to attract multiply marginalized people because I've been in a lot of kitchens with other trans folks with other neurodivergent folks where it's like, okay, so these expectations are built around cis bodies and one neuro type. And my body actually can't be here for 12 hours. Otherwise I start having heart palpitations. Healthy employment relationship is like all relationships, families, friends, romantic, it should be bi-directional. You should be putting something in but also getting something back. So as you're exploring different types of work and ways to integrate into the workforce, be careful to not only be assessing yourself but be assessing the context and how you perform in that context. And also what those employers offer and how they create fit as well. There's two sides to that. And often it's all too easy to go internal and take all the responsibility at work or didn't work because of me, but that's not really how it is. And then you add on top of that the personal life stressors that can come up. And any of those things, one can have difficulty, I can have difficulty managing, become dysregulated. The hyper focus means that I tend to get and stay distracted from work. Those are all stressors and then once I get like any of those stressors, you know, that can start to lead that it goes unresolved can lead to, it really gets me into a vicious cycle of a dysregulation spiral. So I get, I get stressed out, I get anxious that which leads to mental and physical tension. I go into defensive behaviors, worry, self protective avoidance, distraction. There's this regulation, including sleep, which leads to less capacity for attention, less capacity for motor skills and motor planning less executive functioning, which then can lead to more and bigger mistakes. So hyper focus getting stuck on the wrong details, self justification and externalizing blame attack has perceived sources of threat, of which go over really well in a work environment, leading to more fit more negative feedback, possible discipline job loss, bad reviews that limit my potential to advance and my potential for access to organizational power and privilege that could actually help me fix the problems that are affecting me. The idea of shifting social norms through community connection with this vision of like, what, what, like, can I rethink some things in my life that aren't working for me or maybe are working for me and can I learn about my access needs in that way. It was really hard for me to get into that social place of like knowing how to interact with people in the office, and then also how to break away and do my job is if I was having trouble. I'm very good with routine so you know you give me a spreadsheet or a Word document like I know how to write a letter. I'm very good with grammar. If it was out of that wheelhouse that would be a lot more challenging for me and that's when I started to notice a lot more I mean I had already noticed differences growing up, but I didn't really like what I was doing. When we think about work in terms of like meaningful occupation often like the meaningfulness of that is kind of left out and think the most important thing is to build that framework of assessing and reflecting. Like, I like these things I think these are important characteristics I think this is my identity and then exploring it and reflecting on how you responded, but not holding yourself to a very specific definition of who you are what your identity is or what's important because that will change over time so it's more about having that framework to explore it than it is to identify yourself, and it will continue to change throughout adulthood. It's about having a structure to reflect and assess and explore more so than it is like figuring it out because just as you figure it out, we are people and we are dynamic and we change. And at a young age I realized well we're working because we have to so that we live this life so that we have cars we can buy clothes we can have a house because that's all I was thinking like I'm supposed to, you know make this so much money at whatever age I'm supposed to have children at this age and I'm supposed to have a house like there's this timeline that I'm supposed to follow and it was very challenging for me and I would always be like why why do I have to do this. And it's not working for me like what is supposed to happen isn't happening. And I would tell people I'm like we're working because we have to but if we didn't have to would we be working. What how do you define work what does work mean to you like this starts so much earlier than entering the workforce. An important consideration for work that is often overlooked is how it matches a person's individual values. And that can happen in a lot of ways you can directly approach a value like I like helping other people and work in human services. But I think sometimes we we fall short at expanding that definition if you like helping people you can also work in retail or in customer service. So overlaying what your values are with what the job is and how it feels and and operates practically. So part of that is assessing your values and those will change over time and there's no right and wrong values necessarily so it's there's a level of self understanding in that exploration and they use exploration intentionally because work can be a way to explore those values or how to tap into them. I think it's very often we talk about like like what we do like for work rather than who we are and the gifts we have to offer to our communities. So being able to share our gifts sometimes our gifts might be tied to the work that we do. But sometimes our gifts are not tied that we could be artists we can be we can be other things in our lives that often don't get to be shared in our workplace or in our communities. I think people don't realize that maybe they're really good at doing something right but they don't enjoy it but it's what they do and they're getting money doing this but at the end of the day they're just like that wasn't a fulfilling day. I could see really drilling into what are the benefits of workplaces and the benefits of being a worker. And who are those benefits for and who are they not for like how are things by design right now either working or not working. Where are those gaps in our in the safety nets that support workers or that could support everyone. But I this is where I start to think about we talk about benefit cliffs we talk about the sort of that increasing space where workers are earning more but not having safety nets that keep pace. And therefore in an unintended consequence of actually taking people out of work right the idea of like we want people to be in the workplace but if they don't have the supports they need for stability in their housing and stability in their healthcare. They will only work so much where they can't keep working and they will come out because that's how they get their basic needs met and the resources they rely on and that's a stuck place for a lot of people who who would like to be unstuck. A lot of people work in areas that tend toward exploitation and dehumanization. And some of those folks are like I'm just doing this until like, I make it in a creative field I'm just doing this until I am finished with this certification that's going to let me do this job that I really care about. And some people are like I've been forced to do this because of racism because of classism and discrimination and hiring practices, so on and so forth. And some of us are there because we want to be and because we think that it's important that people do those jobs and that whether you are working a job that tends towards exploitation and dehumanization. You and your day to day life are profiting from other people working those jobs whether it's buying your coffee at a coffee shop that a barista makes, or like going to the grocery store where someone is stocking the shelves. Those are jobs that like are inherently like full of dignity like that work matters on a fundamental level and is important and is noble and like, even if you want to do it being treated poorly doing those kinds of jobs can really weigh on you and like it's important that you're doing that work, whether you continue to do it or not it's you should be proud of it. We all, all people to an extent want to contribute something and offer and help in some way. You might want to find a way to meet that psychological need through your work where you can contribute and help others, or you may have robust opportunities outside of work where you don't need to use work to balance that idea of like a person growing up over time. And this idea of like more like a holistic transition that starts way earlier this path is path to thriving right like like can you can you can you talk about that for me thriving flourishing is the goal, whether it's at work personally it's it's about personal flourishing and thriving and how does work contribute to that. And it can do it in different ways is it helping you expand your boundaries or push your horizons, or is it reinforcing a strength and some part of your identity and how you self identify. Does it give you community. Does it expose you to new community. Yeah, I think that's really important because I think a lot of times it's like accidental how your path evolves like the experiences you have the people you're around, whether it's whether these experiences are are farming, like even I mean there are people, I mean let's even think about, you know, transitioning youth right like so this idea of, you know, you make it to middle school, and you're like, I don't know I don't do I really know what I like. Do I know what I like do I know what I dislike do I know what's even important to me I don't know because there's all these social pressures that say conform conform, and the bigger picture, the bigger the systems that you are in are explicitly training you to conform and comply and like that is so counter to this idea of this individualistic thriving, I think often There are jobs roles positions out there that don't name our gifts but that we have the offer that would be beneficial to our communities. And so we call that opportunity creation where we take people's gifts and create opportunity for that for them to maybe possibly make a living out of that thing and be able to thrive. Tell me what does what does that look like that sounds incredible. So I'll give you I'll give you a really great example and I'll just, I mean I think I can name names. I don't think she would mind at all but I'll name the names because I think it's an excellent recent example of opportunity in which we have many. So Anna, Anna is a Latina woman in the state of Vermont, who, when we were trying to do not trying when we were putting together a BIPOC financial wellness empowerment program. We had some expertise in this area. And so we, along with another individual Shonda were able to create financial 101, 102, 103 financial wellness series for BIPOC people through the intellectual through the vision of the intellectual property of these individuals and be able to share that in an affinity space with BIPOC to help lift them up in their financial literacy wellness awareness and education. Through that program, we then created another program that was a BIPOC centered home buyers program, where we prioritize BIPOC people and their partners to being able to have the information skills and resources that they need to buy homes because in the history of BIPOC people tried to own homes. There are still racist policies that are on the books that prevent us from being able to access resources that maybe other people who are who are not of color can access. Through this we partnered with Wyndham and Windsor Housing Trust, one of our local affordable housing agencies here in southern Vermont, and ultimately be through relationship and through those gifts that Anna held, we were able to hire her for this program. And she was able to develop a full program for her own ideas of what this looked like through her own trainings, through her own awareness, through her own experiences and create a curriculum for this home buyers program with collaboration with the route with collaboration from Wyndham and Windsor Housing Trust, where we served over 20 BIPOC households in this programming. This now has turned into, now Anna is employed by Wyndham and Windsor Housing Trust. And she is starting the BIPOC financial empowerment program that is her own gifts that will carry throughout the state providing these tools and resources and awareness to primarily our BIPOC communities. And so not only did she get to share gifts, she got to make connections and relationships, and she got got to be paid what she is worth for and valued for who she is. And this is just as one example of many opportunity creations that we've been able to create specifically prioritizing BIPOC communities. An incredible story, so you really, it's like, it's identifying the strengths of individuals within your community and investing in them, not only are they serving, like you're investing in them, they are investing in the community, and you've created, like together you've created something that didn't exist before. Do you have any advice for people who are stuck in a workplace culture, because they have also been taught like you got a job you do the thing you know so you can do the things right like advice for people who they like. They know they need freedom they know they need autonomy but like they they don't imagine they could possibly start their own thing. Right. Hope has always been what's driven me. And I have always thought that if there was opportunity, and you might not have it right now it might not even be tomorrow. The job that I had before we started limelight restoration. I decided to be a little different with my resume. And I'm very good with resumes and it was always like, you know, you put where you worked and then all the stuff that you did. And I'm like but I do so much more than that like I have way more to offer than just office stuff right. On my resume. I put that I can run heavy equipment. I can, I drive four wheelers like I put all of my, like country girl side on my resume on purpose is incorporating so many of my personal interests that I like. So, what I have to say with where people are maybe feeling stuck in there unhappy, because they're doing the thing that they think they're good at and that's all they're good at. What do you do when you're not at work. What could you put on your resume, because those are skills, you don't have to have a job that said you can do this if if you're a great seamstress or you're good at, you know, marketing stuff and making things. I think that there's a different way of looking at jobs that you may have not thought you were qualified for. If you look at it as an overall picture of what you can provide. When I have gone for interviews in the past. When I was younger, it was so intimidating and scary. As I got older, I learned that they're interviewing me for the job, but I'm also interviewing them because I don't know if I want to work here. I've been let go before I have had people not like me stand up for myself. And I didn't want to work for a company where I didn't have a voice, because I have a lot to say. You know, I think that people should not be afraid to tell their employer what they need or that they're sick or that they can't come in. We're caught in systems that we prop up that we have to navigate and cobble together. And we think the system is bigger than us, but this is but that really it's us like we are the ones that have a role in this and we can disrupt it. Yes. And I think like, you know, like we were talking about this morning with like email, like all the chaos that comes in right like so you have to you have to be able to have the, the spaciousness to zoom out to reimagine and when you're like in the weeds in the chaos, you don't do that so you like stick to the systems because it preserves your bandwidth, even though that known quantity is ruining your life for it so I don't know what my access needs are necessarily, but I'm in situations that either work for me, or they don't work for me. And when they don't work for me. You know, when someone for example has this frame of access. My access needs were not met. It's not like because because I think sometimes if we don't explicitly name that that bidirectional relationship that interaction of environment and person. That's the idea of this is about a goodness of fit for that person in different environments with different people, people like that if that frame was not explicitly named for many brains, they don't have it. And so they go they move through the world thinking that there is that they really aren't explicitly I mean a lot of implicit but explicitly like this is how we do the thing. This is how you apply for a job.  This is like a line up in kindergarten like it's one way. As opposed to this like the idea we talk a lot about at brain club about the double empathy problem, where, you know, like, it's not that there's like one correct way to communicate it's about it's it's it's this relationship of person, you know, this mismatch of perspective taking way of seeing the world communication style and like that's where the breakdowns happen. I think it's very important to recognize that it's okay for it not to be the right fit. It applies to really everything that that you so it can apply to work relationships that can work with you know friendships romantic partnerships it's like it's everything it's it's okay, especially because as people change or of course their life they need different things. Exactly. I think it's less about, can I do the job. Did I do the job was I go to the job and more about the fit which is half you and half the context and and how you're supported in it. Yeah, and because a person changes over time organizations change over time to and that like divergence is okay. And I think that then like, we bring in elements of, you know, abandonment and like attachment issues that come into you know rejection sensitive dysphoria I need to tell my employer that it's time for me to go oh you know like how dare you you know just like all this stuff that really then someone goes off into their world and these, these experiences I think stay in people's nervous systems and they go into even healthy work environments and they really have trauma physiology. I think that if you're looking for a job if you're in a current job and you're not happy, somehow you need to find your voice even if you would need someone to advocate for you to step in and say hey, you know, can you use the language that I need for my employer so they understand what I need, because people don't need to be getting fired because they're standing up for themselves and certainly think that there's ways that employers can be sensitive to a variety of stressors and sort of, you know do this universal online thing, but it still doesn't get away from the power imbalance. There are people who they, they are working, but they're being harmed like actively harmed at their places of employment.  And anyway, I, I really would love to figure out, and maybe it's about partnering with other organizations like all brains belong as like a little startup nonprofit like we can't hire all of our patients to do stuff, and like make enough money to support themselves enough to leave the terrible jobs where they're, you know, they're being discriminated against and traumatized all day long. But I think it comes with relationships. It's about how can we collaborate? How can we figure out where are the points that we really meet together, right? Where is those intersectionalities that we can support each other? Where are those crossovers? And it's about, it's about brainstorming, right? You know, fun intended, like, like really coming together, having that think tank to come together to see, to see more of what's possible because exactly what you said is like, now we're not paying Anna anymore. Those that money is coming from a variety of other different places. And that's what we can do is we can leverage our relationships and connections with the resources that all of us have when we come together and we're really willing to make that commitment to each other. So I think that's what's most important. First off, thank you so much to all of our panelists. Such wisdom there. I want to scroll up to a comment in the chat. Taylor says, this idea of redefining what constitutes important or real work has really helped me to get to a better place mentally. I think a lot of people have been damaged by the idea that the amount of money you make determines if you should be okay with the things that you're doing. Obviously, we need to be able to afford to live beyond that one's happiness and health and to be put at the forefront. And I want to combine that with what Chris just said, I like, I merged those ideas in my head about like being in the trenches in face with so many decisions about what to financially prioritize food or meds or anything else. And just all of that so complicated. What's standing out for others? I really enjoyed what Summer was saying about kind of just like being able to look at what you love doing, even if it's not something that you've ever thought about as being connected to employment. And, you know, that's when I was saying it kind of reminds me of how we talk about a culture of interdependence like, what are the things that we love to do that give us dopamine that tap into our natural strengths. And sometimes it's hard to recognize those if we've grown up in sort of this traditional capitalistic society, being able to step out of that framework can be challenging. But I think that's a helpful perspective to just kind of like zoom out and look at what do we love to do? What did you love to do when you were 10 years old? You know, and really think kind of before all the social conditioning, you know, really tapping into what gives us joy. Right. And I think when you're in the trenches, struggling to have basic needs met, like the idea of like vision casting or like even remembering what it was to be regulated and what you did to meet that happened, like that seems so far out of reach for so many people. Monique. Hi everyone, Monique here. Kind of leaping off of what Sarah just said about finding joy and those sparks and I am in my late 50s. And so when I was starting out to find work. I didn't know that I was autistic and I didn't have those terms and my parents are both, they both have their own interesting brains. And I appreciate the way that they raised me. My dad was a carpenter and he built these, he would spend two or three years building these fantastic houses. And they were all custom built and they were weird and they were wonky. And he was essentially just continuing to build forts throughout his life. It was just an extension of childhood. And I worked with him when I was in my teens, I would go to work with him and he instilled in me the principle to find work that I loved. And then it wouldn't be labor like it would pay the bills and probably give me more because I would enjoy doing it so I would do it well and I would excel at it, and people would see my inspiration, my fire my passion about it so I'm really glad that he instilled that in me, and they never judged me for anything that I chose to do for work. And then in thinking about this upcoming this week's topic I was thinking about work that I enjoyed over the years and I worked as a barista at a coffee shop and I, at Starbucks, I'll name it. And it was in the early 90s, late 80s, early 90s up until the mid 90s, and I loved it. And because it was it was predictable. It was clear what the expectations were clear. There was a procedure manual back in the staff room like everything was was laid out and it was clear, and it was fun and we got to listen to music and I got to interact with them in a couple of minutes and then they would go away. It was awesome. And it just, like, it lit me up in so many different ways. And I eventually became a counselor, and I was a counselor for many decades, and I remember to get certified I had to be a counselor. And I was constantly being, what's the word I'm looking for, reprimanded by my supervisor because I would share too much she told me that I was too relational in the counseling sessions. And now I understand that is double empathy but at the time I didn't have the conversation I didn't have the terminology or the understanding for it. So just, just last week I ran into her she's a neighbor of mine. I've been a supervisor for 2023 years, and I ran into her and I actually we had a good conversation about neurodivergence and specifically specifically autism, and how the way that I was engaging with the people that I was in a counseling relationship with was relational because that was how I relate to people that was double empathy at play. And it was a good conversation but I just, I'm just looking back over the work that I've done. It's interesting to see how I, I made it work for me and it may not have been traditional and it may not have looked the way that other people were doing it. But it was the way that I could do it. And it was fulfilling to me and it was fulfilling to the people who came into my work. Okay, check. I love that Monique and I think so often right and I know I often quote this at brain club but we have one of our community members who we said, access needs I don't know what my access needs are, I just know that they're not being met. I think, when we look back, even if we don't have the language or the lens of access needs when you think back to a time where something worked. Often that is reflecting that you had access needs that were being met, you didn't know at the time that's what this was but now that Monique is like giving this example of like well that I knew exactly what to expect and the manual was down there and I had these very like, you know, these brief interactions. Wow. Well, like, anyway, now that all makes sense. And I think when people are in situations that really don't work. That can be a clue of on that access needs. Yeah, I just wanted to talk a bit about how it's been really hard for me like personally and I feel like it's related to my neurodivergence to kind of understand the value of money and to measure it appropriately doesn't matter how good I am at like math I just like don't manage it well. And the thing is like there's not enough. That's the problem right. But I, I grew up talking about like the, the narratives that we grow up with. I think I grew up with what is kind of doesn't make sense why it's a Christian narrative but Christian narrative of like if, if you're poor. It's because you have like a lesson to learn about specifically managing money and you know earning money and being responsible. And so, but it's really hard for me still at 31 to like confront that narrative within myself doesn't matter how much I boo capitalism and like my idea. I do they still have that that voice telling me that like, if I, if I'm having to make choices between, you know, meds or food or appointments, then it's because I'm doing something wrong. And that's, you know, what the most insidious and difficult. The first step we have to take I think in shifting the narrative around work to something more healthy. This is confronting that that self blame and realizing that we're, we're being forced to make these decisions in a really unjust way and it's not our faults if we make the wrong decision or, you know, are stressed out by the fact that we that we have to choose. Thank you so much for naming that and sharing that you, you are not alone. And, and the way that you were able to articulate that I think has has likely given so much to so many people here today. You know, I think what the idea that systems these like these oppressive power systems that tell you like that that that thwart you and hurt you and teach you that it's your fault. That's really messed up. And before I call on ginger, the other thing that's coming up for me and a bunch of us on our team here just read on Dr. Devin crisis new book on learning shame it's going to be our book chat for March. I'm going to read this one sentence. Systemic shame is the socially engineered self loathing that says we are solely to blame for our circumstances. It's just that poverty is remedied by the hard working people pulling themselves up by their bootstraps that marginalized people are personally responsible for solving the problem of their own oppression. And it's like the whole book is like that. Like, it's so much what you just said, ginger. Can you hear me. Okay, so thank you so much for doing this it's been a really rich and provocative and exciting conversation and thanks for everything everybody's Chris and others and money compared. So, what I'm curious about and it could probably be a whole separate zoom brain club is in jobs that come with insurance, because I have other conditions that require that I have a lot of really expensive medical treatments. And I find that a lot of the jobs in large organizations that would have good insurance. Excuse me, really feel like the square peg in the round hole. A lot of the time so I'm just, I'm, I'm, I'm curious about how folks here or from ADB has addressed that. It's really common and I think one of the it was a it was a it was a very minor point that Connie Beale said in her interview, when she spoke about the benefits cliff, the idea of like even even when you work in a, you know, you get this job and it like earns slightly more money, and you're like oh yeah now I can afford the thing, but now that just disqualified me now I'm getting kicked off Medicaid which is one of the you know it's the one of the best insurance is you can get. And so it's, it's, it's really messed up. And so I think that, and we're pretty much everyone who was interviewed for this, this spring club had so much more wisdom than we were able to fit and so we're already working on like the, I think, I think almost everyone on tonight's panel is on marches panel, because it's like the continuation of their interviews, and this topic comes up in in the March discussion around like what would it look like to center what people really need to get out of work. Because I think, I think that, and maybe it really, I mean, it really the idea that someone would have to be in an, in an environment that hurts their health in order to access health care. Because that person. So I get it. And it's, it's, it's not sustainable. Nicole, go for it. Sorry, I couldn't. I zoom at some point moved that raise hand and I can never remember where it is. But at least I can raise my hand and then something automatically flashes up so things. So this has been a really interesting and rich discussion I really appreciate everybody's contributions to it. I've been thinking about this from the perspective of like the alternative of kind of working for yourself right like if I can't fit into the round hole, then there is an alternative where I become an entrepreneur or a solopreneur and I kind of lead my own thing but that comes with a slew of other things right because it goes from being in an overly structured and rigid environment to being in an overly unstructured environment, which I don't know, I don't really understand what my access needs are but I know they're not fully being met by me in my home. So I'm just curious like I know we're we don't have much time left but I'd be curious to hear more about that in March if I don't know if that's on the agenda. Totally so you know because I think one of the you have to couple that topic with the idea of unlearning independence like the myth of independence like in a in a culture of interdependence the idea that it is completely normal and favorable to be connected to and rely on other people. I think that's how the entrepreneur has a shot at figuring out how to meet their access needs because like it's completely it's just it's so much this summer summer said yes you want to do you want to. Can you speak to that at all summer. I'm sorry I was eating. I was writing at the same time that it is a collaborative process and if you try to do it alone. Very successful. I've owned my business with my husband for 10 almost 11 years and we had a slew of people come through our lives whether it was family or outsiders that really gave us a lot of wisdom. And it was really helpful for us to have that support and I don't think back then we realized what was happening but now in hindsight and I'm looking at the whole picture. Because I used to think that I was really introverted and I was afraid of people because I would have so much anxiety about what they thought about me and what I was going to say. And now I'm really past most of that and I think a lot of us have something inside us that we don't realize but if you can get around people that can inspire you that can help lift you up. I think being an entrepreneur is feasible but you have to plan it you have to pace it. And it's a lot of work and determination and it's like you have to figure it out do I put all this in an employer that doesn't give me everything I want. Or do I put all this energy and something that maybe I could get someone else to join me or I can get investors or I can get family or you know there's all kinds of different ideas. But you have to look at all the different avenues and I'm someone that just tries everything and then if I can't get there I'm like okay. This is a sign I should just give up but I will try to exhaust everything I can possibly think of. And if you have that determination, you know, and you ask the questions I think that you might find you can do this. Thank you Summer and I think the other the other piece and I definitely want to make sure I read Taylor's comment I think that's really powerful.  But I think that when when someone's in the in the trenches in the struggle, it is so difficult to even begin to do the like setting up of what summer just described. So it's like, it's, it's hard to like you're so you're in this cycle. We heard a lot about cycles during our panelist interviews like you're in this cycle and it becomes familiar and so you stay there, because there's not the spaciousness. And so it's like, it's like, how do how do I create, how do I create space bandwidth to be able to plan out those next steps and what could that look like. And so Taylor says, I think, I think a problem that can also come with the default of quote just be your own boss is that nothing gets fixed. Why fix the system for those who want to work for someone else, how do you balance it. Yeah, and I think that's, that's a really good setup for our, our March brain club theme of systems change from the bottom up. To the village of people coming together to really not just make things better for themselves, but also build like, I mean, like a parallel play kind of universe where people can be connected and figure out how employment can come out of that. So people don't need to be in conditions that are hurting them and are destroying their health. It's hard work. And, and I think we can do it in community. Thank you all. Thank you all for being here. Thank you for being part of our community. And we'll look forward to seeing you next week for our book chat on the book together by Dr. Murphy, the former surgeon general US surgeon general about the power and the impact of social connection on health. We'll look forward to seeing you then. Bye.
