We're back to VMworld Live 2010 Silicon Angles continuous coverage of VMworld in theCUBE with a very special guest, Ed Booneon, who's the CTO of the Business Union within Cisco. But he's known in the industry circles as somewhat a legend, as an early co-founder of VMware. So welcome to the broadcast. So I have a first couple of questions like, how's it feel to look at VMware growing up like this?  Is it? No, it's not weird, but it's amazing. It certainly is getting bigger and bigger every day and every year. I remember the first VMworld we thought 14, 1500 people was a lot. I heard the whisper in this morning was 17,000. So I don't know if it's true or not, but it certainly feels like a packed house. Virtualization is certainly center stage right now in the cloud. Would you have predicted it would be this relevant, this fast from when VMware started or yes, or did it take the shape that you had thought it might? Well, I mean, you know, the, if you go back to the early, early, early principles of VMware, it was all about isolation and encapsulation and it was all about mobility. And if you go back to the late nineties, right? Mobility meant you can take a VM and you could basically copy it as a file from a computer to another computer. These were desktop operational models at the time. So the elements that are still foundational to the cloud today or we're present over a decade ago. What's changed in the meantime as we've gone from desktops to data center and service scale virtualization. And then the other thing obviously is the networks and have evolved to the point that you can now think of computing in the cloud, which is not something that was being thought about in those terms a decade ago. Great. I'd like to introduce my co-host for this session is Stu Miniman, senior analyst at Wikibon who recently is now an analyst, was at EMC and knows Ed. And you guys gonna talk a little bit. So Stu, I'm gonna pass it over to you for, I'll jump in if I have any questions, but go ahead. Thanks John, yeah. And I went my 10 years at EMC, I met with Ed back in the Diane Greendaze part of the acquisition and reconnected with Ed when he was the CTO of the Nuova group with Cisco and obviously worked a lot with Ed on the fiber channel over ethernet and his UCS has been launched out. So great to see Ed. Thanks for joining us. Good to see you as well Stu. Great, so I went to how we choose session this morning talking about networking and one of the comments how we made is when you look at VMware and server virtualization a couple of years ago you wouldn't have had networking people showing up here and now there's a good contingency of networking people showing up here. Obviously Cisco's well represented. I'm wondering if maybe you could talk for a minute about kind of the Cisco and VMware innovation that we see going on right now. Yeah, so I think this is an absolutely correct statement and back in the early days virtualization was really a single disciplinary solution, right? It was sold and operated by server administrators very often departmentally and without really having to worry about network policies without having to worry about storage policies for that matter and without having to worry about issues of compliance and security and audibility and reproducibility because it was used as a tool rather than as a core infrastructure and the transition is now vSphere is really viewed as a core infrastructure of the data center, it's part of, it is the fabric of the data center at the software layer and the interaction between the distributed system that is vSphere and the underlying network becomes that much more important. So the thing that we introduced two years ago that sort of puts Cisco on the map into the VMworld community was obviously the Nexus 1000V which basically is a pretty simple observation which is virtualization and it was good if it's not thought through carefully can introduce operational gaps or blind spots. You get efficiencies as far as one set of deliverables of the IT organization is concerned but you create blind spots or issues to other groups and in this case the networking team and it's really important when you think about the problem from a networking angle and I've been now at Cisco for between the new over days and the Cisco days working in this industry for the past five years is it's really about the end to end visibility across a common set of tools, a common set of methodologies and so the Nexus 1000V is the bridge because it's the tool that allows you to have a network classic network methodology extend the topology of the network into the virtual infrastructure while at the same time fundamentally not changing anything as far as server administration is concerned as far as VMware Virtual Center is concerned so yes, lots of people with a networking background at VMworld, lots of people from Cisco not necessarily all networking people because we're much more than a networking company but we have a north of 200 employees at this show one way or another and certainly because virtualization is the center of the thinking and the brainstorming from all of the organizations that constitute a data center and obviously not to mention the cloud. Okay so and obviously when you talk about these cross-disciplinary solutions obviously Cisco's UCS is playing right into that marketplace. I wonder where specifically do you see UCS in the virtualization marketplace, what's next? I mean we talk about kind of scale up, architectures and cloud architectures. How is UCS going to tackle I guess the two biggest challenges I hear from the community are management and security so any comments on the direction there? Yeah and by the way management and security are related, the more complex the management the more difficult it is to reason about the security of it. The more manual the provisioning of the infrastructure the more difficult it is to reason about its security. So UCS is really at the end of the day was a relatively in retrospect straightforward observation which is that there were significant advantages of going from a box-centric view of thinking about x86 computing in the data center which is the classic systems management approach to things where basically at the end of the day a server company sell chassis with a few blades in them and then the customers have to operate them by having these different points of configuration that are independently managed for the same entity in the same box. And the observation we made is let's just flip this over in its head and rather than selling a chassis is to sell a fabric in which you can plug chassis into it and with a single point of management. And one other thing that I think resonates the most by customers who use UCS is the fact that you can really now have this dual view of your infrastructure. On one hand UCS as a system is something that gets laid out on a few racks, right? It can scale way beyond the size of a single rack so think about four racks worth of gear with the networking size. And that's sort of the physical view in all what we assume and understand about the physical lifecycle management of things. At the same time UCS is also from an operational perspective simply a web service, a single web server that exports a RESTful style XML API as a single point of provisioning and control for that entire kit. And it's really the reduction in the number of points of management that is enabled by the raising of the abstractions that we export from the system itself that is making UCS sort of a differentiated offering in the marketplace. And at the end of the day the pain points that customers have is it still takes too long to cable and provision physical gear and once you have it cable and wired up it still takes too long to configure physically before you can even get to the vSphere layer. And then also you end up having an infrastructure where it's very difficult to adjust your network policies and your server policies because those tend to be managed separately. In UCS you have the ability to atomically repurpose capacity and really turn the data center into a set of fungible resources at the hardware level. Right, so absolutely, I like how there's some argument between especially some of the guys that really are helping customers deploy this solution because if you look traditionally, the VAR has done the job of taking all the pieces together, integrating it together, building it for scalability performance, whatever we need. And of course UCS is built and especially if you start talking about a vBlock we put all the configuration together and some would say it's too fixed but rather than having all of the knobs we have something that can be deployed a lot simpler. One of the things when you say this is the configuration and this is what you get but when you talk about roadmap, one of the questions that I've gotten from the Wikibon community and the practitioners is what other technologies are there going to be some flexibility down the road? For example, will there be an AMD option on UCS? Okay, so I think we've got to separate a couple because there are different sort of questions laid into the set of questions. Sure, I know. First is UCS itself is a product with a very strong roadmap including elements that are public and that we're talking about and including elements that are obviously under NDA at this point. But fundamentally the way we think about the way we are thinking about UCS from a roadmap perspective it's really about further automating and further increasing the scale of the systems under management but while keeping sort of a certain set of architectural principles as we've laid them as we introduce UCS because those have been extremely effective and those architectural principles is the unified fabric. The center point around Ethernet as the underlying link technology. Transition from 10 into the next level of standardized link speeds starting with 40 gig ethernet which is actually not far away and then building bigger and bigger systems with richer fabrics inside. Now UCS itself is an architecture but it's not a prescriptive deployment model that you can have different size and shapes and ratios of UCS. There's lots of choice with respect to the blades and the compute factor, form factors. There's a lot of choice with respect to the adapter form factors. And then there's a lot of choices and options with respect to the topologies and the ratios and the over subscriptions levels that you have in your management model. The V block is something different. The V block is really designed to take a lot of the guesswork out of the deployment in an enterprise environment of a system that has a UCS compute backbone and as far on the computing side is concerned. Combined with enterprise grade storage which is either the Vmax line or the Clarion line with all of the associated enterprise storage capabilities that are come with the product. And the V block is a more prescriptive lay down of the combination of those two pillars. With a very clear value proposition is that it takes out a lot of the guesswork as you're deploying virtualization at scale. And I think if you think about where the state of the art is today it's relatively straightforward to deploy vSphere in a small scale. And I think VARs will say that and end user customers obviously will say that as well. Where things become more challenging is as you scale your deployment, as you make them more multi-tenant, as you want to turn them into a service as opposed to something that you consume internally whether it is your private cloud or your online cloud. And that's some of the challenges that the V block is designed to address. And certainly with respect to how VARs think of this they very much welcome the value and the reference design and the fact that the three companies stand behind the solution itself. The issue of support and the complexity of support as we deploy these high-end sophisticated solutions is always something that's front and center in the customer's mind. It's not something that the VAR can directly address. And it actually if anything allows the VAR to focus on some of the much more value added elements of the conversation including how you can take advantage of that new scalable architecture. Okay, great. Excellent stuff, Ed. Yeah, I guess, you know, trying to think of any kind of follow-up. But I think about in the networking spaces one of the challenges we see is that when you look at the next generation speed, you know, 40 and 100 gig ethernet there's only a small number of customers that are really requiring that bandwidth and driving that, you know, if you look at, you know, the Facebooks and the Googles need that bandwidth, need to drive it further. And, you know, you wonder how many customers, you know, don't need that technology and you're kind of pulled along behind it. So just curious your thoughts and kind of macro trends in the networking space.  Well, so all of us who started in the industry after Bill Gates have learned never to say that you would never need more than X, right? Because unfortunately it gets held against you decades later. So yeah, of course, one day we'll need 40 gig and 100 gig. I think that these new levels of speeds are associated with the fact that the data center is going to be truly managed as a system. When VMware talks about the software mainframe, the distributed mainframe, it is premised on the existence of a high performance compute fabric. The analogy I would use is with respect to multicore, right? You could have made a sort of a few years ago the same argument, how would you possibly need more than one or two cores per CPU? Well, the reality is now you've got eight and 10 cores per CPU as a standard building block of your offering and that there are ways to take advantage of them, namely virtualization. So I'm very confident that the industry will find ways to take advantage of those new capabilities and we are actually already seeing some demand for both four times 10 gig solutions because in some cases the bandwidth for certain types of capabilities is actually the limiting element and also for lower latency solution where you actually take advantage of the 40 gig all the way down to servers. It's still part of the roadmap but the one thing that the industry has done is certainly it's preparing to do this time more smoothly than in the previous transition is to enable a faster adoption of the new technologies. We went from one to 10. That has proven to be complex and complicated because of lots of five issues and transmission issues. The transition from 10 to 40 is going to be a lot smoother. Okay, great. I think, Ed, I appreciate you coming on theCUBE and talking about, are there any sessions coming up at VMworld that we should be especially paying attention to? Yeah, actually thanks for bringing it up Stu. So I will be speaking tomorrow at 11 o'clock right after the keynote from VMware. This is the super session and the big, the theme of the super session is the delivery of scalable cloud services. So really moving from, if you think about what we did in 2008, it was about operational gaps. It was about network awareness for virtualization and the Nexus 1000V. In 2009, it was about UCS and how you can take UCS to solve compute problems at a data center scale. This year it's about scalable cloud services and how you can start thinking about the network and the services that are part of the network on a cloud scale for cloud deployments. So I hope to see some of you at the show. Okay, well thanks so much, Ed, for coming on. We're going to take a break. We'll be right back with the Rob Roy, CEO of Switch Networks, and Charlotte Yarkany, who's with EMC running the public cloud of EMC to talk about what that means. And we'll be right back. Facilicon angles, continuous coverage of VMworld 2010 Live here in theCUBE. Ed, thanks so much, Stu. Thank you, John. Appreciate it.


Welcome to our vignettes on the hip, and we're right on the cusp of transitioning from the anatomic sequence side to the anatomic pathology side. So you've heard a lot about sequences in the past, and we're going to continue framing the important sequences, but I think we need to get a few terminology issues out of the way. So I've created by hand, as you can tell, from my rudimentary art skills this line drawing, which shows a few key anatomic areas, and I'm sure you have noticed, while I make my line a little bit thinner, that we have a femur and an acetabulum. So here's our femoral head with a little notch in it, the fovea capidus where the ligamentum terris inserts both the pubic and the ischial head. When I look at a hip in the coronal, orthogonal projection, or in the coronal oblique, I am looking at the fit between the head and the cup. People that have a shallow cup under coverage are more prone to cam type impingement. People that have deep cups may be prone to pincer type impingement and the arthritis that goes with it. There are conventional radiographic measurements for a deep cup. But we're here to talk about MRI, and you can find these standard measurements on any Google search. But let's look at these lines as they might appear on a radiograph because we're going to translate them into MRI. Let's start out with this line, which is known as the ileopectinial line. And then this line right here, which forms a loop, which is known as the ileo-ischial line. On a plane film, when the femoral head projects medial to this line, so the head projects inward this way, that is known as coxa profunda. If the femoral head starts to weigh in on the center of the socket and protrude medial to the normal arc of the socket and protrudes into the pelvis, you all know that as protrusio acetabular. Now for reference, we have the ileum right here and the sacrum and the sacroiliac joint just to get you oriented. But here are two other key important lines. The anterior aspect of the acetabulum, which contributes to this loop on the x-ray, and the posterior aspect of the acetabulum as well as the roof.  So let's make our acetabular roof in a single planar projection. If our acetabular roof is very vertically oriented, there's a pretty good chance that the femur underneath is going to be under covered. In other words, the acetabulum won't cover it at its drop-off. That is one form of a shallow cup. But when you have a cup that is not just arc-shaped but up and down vertically oriented, then most likely you have a form of developmental dysplasia of the hip which may have gone unrecognized at birth, last into adulthood, and the patient then presents with pretty severe osteoarthritis or the manifestations of CAM type impingement. On the other hand, if you have a very deep cup, not only may you see the phenomena of protrusioacetabuli or coxoprofunda, you may see these big large sweeping arcs of acetabulum coming around and simply over covering the femoral head in multiple projections, the coronal as well as the sagittal and even the axial. And we'll talk specifically about axial over coverage in a separate discussion because that has its own implications. A few other critical aspects of morphology before we move into the MRI. You will hear the term coxavalga. In coxavalga, the relationship between the femoral head and the neck and stem is laid out a little more laterally. In other words, it goes this way. In coxavara, the femoral head-neck junction will have more of an angulated appearance, a sharp angle between the two. Some additional basic terminology includes the reference of the femoral head to the neck and primarily the shaft of the femur, which when angulated out or laterally at or greater than 125 degrees is known as coxavalga. The opposite is when this angle between the head and basically the shaft and neck is angled inward or more medially and is 125 to 120 degrees or less. Another term you may hear is coxamagna, when the femoral head is too big for the acetabulum. So you could have a normal acetabular size, but it may be too shallow because simply the femoral head is just too large. Another term that you might hear is the term known as os-acetabuli, which in the past was considered to be an ossicle at the level of the labrum. We now know that many of these foci previously referred to as os-acetabuli are either osvacations of the labrum itself or they are areas of anterior column spur formation that have broken off in the scenario of pincer type impingement or type 2 impingement. So now let's take on some cases. You can move on to the next vignette if you'd like.

So make sure and check out toyhacks.com and tell them Patriot Prime sent you. Now, on to the review. The featured button in this video is 1987's Generation 1, Six Shot. Now Six Shot here is an amazing transformer figure.  He's got six different modes. Now Six Shot hitting the shelves in 1987 pretty much secured an appearance in the original Transformers cartoon series. Though he only appeared in one scene in the fourth season known as the Rebirth. It was only three episodes, very briefly. He appears long enough to demonstrate his six modes and to let the aerial bots know that they are no longer on toy shelves. And that was the last time that we saw Six Shot in the animated cartoon series. At least here in the States. He was featured more prominently in the Japanese Headmaster series. Now Six Shot also appeared animated in his television commercial where it's shown once again that he shows off all six of his modes. And he helps teach Cyclonus how to count. And what's funny, his television commercial is longer than his appearance in the animated show. Six Shot made his Marvel comic appearance in issue number two of the Headmasters Limited series where he is shown supposedly in one panel in his spaceship mode. And that's it. Six Shot is never seen again in Marvel G1. And that's pretty much the history of Six Shot here in the States as far as US Fiction's concern, which is really surprising because this is a fantastic toy. So enough of the history of Six Shot, let's go ahead and take a look at this awesome Generation 1 Decepticon. And welcome to Patriot Prime Reviews. Now the first of Six Shot's six alt modes we're going to take a look at is his armored car mode. This is actually my least favorite mode because it just looks... You got to use your imagination with this mode right here.  It's some sort of Cybertronian assault vehicle. It's got great chrome wheels there on the side. Lots of chrome up here on top and it actually rolls really, really good. Now the thing with Six Shot is he has plenty of wheels. You've got the four big wheels right here for car mode, extra wheels right here, right here. So he's got quite a few wheels to help keep him stable. Now this vehicle, it's all right. The windows here are decals and these are actually toy hacks decals. The very first toy hacks set that I ever bought for a G1 figure is for this guy right here. Those decals look great. He's got the big cannons mounted up here on top and a radar dish. Lots of nice molded details. You can see these are like seats. Some little round details right there. Not a big fan of the front of the vehicle. It just looks kind of messy. But that's pretty much it for Six Shot's car mode. Now let's get him transformed into his tank mode. First thing we'll do is flip down the sensor array and we're going to remove the cannons. Go ahead and bring these up and out of the way.  And what you're going to do is take these sections right here and you're going to rotate this whole piece forward. There's a little hinge right there. You can get this all in camera. This is a big figure. Go ahead and rotate that around. Now flip the vehicle over and you're going to open up these panels right here. And now you're going to bring this section, this whole front section of the car up. And mine is pretty tight. You may have to do this off camera. There we go. There we go. So now we're going to bring this up like so. And then there's some joints right here. You're going to angle it up just like that. Go ahead and rotate these around. And now you'll see there are tank treads right there. So take this section here with the wheel. Rotate this so that decal is facing forward. And rotate the back wheel to where you see another set of tank treads. And just line that up. We'll do the same thing here on the other side. Rotate around. Rotate the front. Rotate the back. So now we have the tank treads and the front of the tank. Bring the wing sections down. And now you're going to take the wings and fold them back to where they were with the car mode. Bring this up. You can actually tuck these flaps underneath after you reach inside here and pull these guns out. Now you can flip those back. Angle that forward. So now you have these guns facing out right here. Flip up this section. That's going to form a cockpit for the tank. Now you're going to take these blasters once again. And there's a hole right there on the side. Peg those blasters in on both sides. And now you have six shots futuristic tank mode. And once again, you're using your imagination with this. I do like the looks of this tank. It's more of an anti-aircraft vehicle because it doesn't really face forward. Now as I showed earlier, all of these wheels come into play once again. You've got two wheels here and a wheel right there. And those help keep it fairly stable. Now the tank mode is a little back heavy as you can see. I like the little cockpit right there. Now I think these are cool the way these are angled. And with the wheels here, you almost can pretend those are like saw blades. The six shots rolling towards you. He's catching you and just chopping you to pieces. Once again, looks really good. Lots of nice chrome and the sticker decals work. Now another option you can do if you don't like this particular look for your tank is, if you open these up, let me see if I can get this to look in. But there is holes right there on the inside that you can actually peg these larger weapons into. Now I personally, I like this look. But the instructions say to put the guns on the outside. So now you've got that look going on and I think that looks pretty sweet. So there you go guys, there is six shots tank mode. Now let's get him transformed into his pistol mode. Go ahead and swing these wings back. Flip the cockpit back inside there. Go ahead and extend this section all the way out. Love the ratchets. Nice tight G1 ratchets. So you've got that going on. Now you're going to take the wings and bring these up. I apologize if I'm running out of space here. Now you're going to clip the wings together here at the tip and rotate these to the side. And then you're going to find the sensor array from earlier. Get that out like so. And now you have a blaster. Let me see if I can zoom out. Yes. There we go. You have a blaster. So yeah, got to love G1. Now of course, if this was made today Hasbro would say flip it around so you have a submarine. But no, that is a cool role-playing blaster. And I love it. I love G1. Now from blaster mode, we're going to go into my favorite mode. Go ahead and flip the sensor array or trigger back down. You're going to remove the blasters from inside the purple sections here. And then go ahead and flip these guns back in as well. Go ahead and open up all of the flaps.  You might have to move the wheel sections out of the way. Snap that into place. Bring these around. Snap those in place. And then put all the panels back together. Go ahead and bring the wheel sections down. Bring the handle and snap that from the top. Bring that down. And now you're going to take these sections here, flip them up. And now you have six shots. Whoops, almost forgot. Take your blasters and you're going to plug the blasters into the ends of the wings. And there you have six shots. Spaceship mode. And I love this one. This is my favorite of the modes. Big, beefy and badass. And the sticker decals look great on it. And it even has landing gear. There are hidden wheels right there on top of the windows from the vehicle mode. And up here in these chrome sections. So he's got landing gear. He can land. And it's just awesome. That is a sweet looking ship. One of my absolute favorite ship modes, jet modes from generation one. I just think it is so cool and it's heavy. This is a heavy figure. So now let's get him out of ship mode and get him transformed into his next mode. And remove the weapons. Fold these back in.  And let's see, we'll move these sections forward. Like so. And now you need to take these panels apart. Now one thing you're noticing, I am pretty rough transforming this figure. Because this is one durable G1. This is one G1 toy I have no fear whatsoever of breaking. This guy is just solid and awesome. They just don't make them like this anymore. So go ahead and rotate this section back. And now you're going to rotate it all the way around. I love those ratchets. Knock those flaps back in. Right here, you're going to flip these sections down, the seats from car mode. And you'll see there is feet. Go ahead and take the wings all the way back. Take these sections here and rotate forward. So now you'll notice toes.  And here we have, whoops, I need to separate the legs. Let's see, these are really tight. That's the one part of this figure that I have problems with is these legs are super tight. You can see where they slide back and forth. We'll have to do that off camera. And once you get the legs apart, here you have six shots winged wolf mode. And to be honest, I do not think this looks like a wolf. It looks more like a tiger or some kind of cat. Now you can open the mouth slightly, but the mouth, the jaw is also the cockpit for the tank. So you open it up too wide, it's going to look goofy. So open it right about there, looks fine. Now if you want to utilize the cannons, these will actually peg into the shoulders right here in these slots. They've got one and you've got the other. Now he's a winged beast, but because of the way the arms are, you can't really flare the wings out. They kind of go up, but you can't really get them out real far.  Great paint applications. I love the red eyes. I just think that looks so cool. So now let's get six shot transformed into his final mode, robot mode. And we'll go ahead and remove the blasters.   Flip these toes up. You're going to rotate the arms down and then push in revealing the fists. Make sure the toe sections are pointed up. Push in revealing the fist. Go ahead and flip these sections out so you can untab this right here. Flip the robot head out and there we have six shots in robot mode. In robot mode, six shot is a beast of a Transformers toy. He is absolutely massive and this figure is quite solid. As I mentioned earlier, the only real hollow parts for six shot is right here inside the legs and that's due to all of his transformation. There is no other hollow bits on this figure anywhere. Now he is pretty much a brick because the only articulation he has is the arms can do a complete 360. They're on soft ratchets as well. And he does have a wrist rotation or actually an entire forearm rotation thanks to transformation. And I guess there's a knee bend too if you count that but that's for transformation as well. The feet are hooked together so there's really not much you could do with that. Now there are a couple different ways you can display robot mode. Like with the wings right here I have them straight down due to the fact I really don't have much size or much area to film here. In the cartoon he actually has the wings straight up. As you can see I can't even get all that in shot. So that's what he looks like with the wings straight up. My favorite way to display my figure is I flip the wings around like so and angle them out kind of like seeker wings. So he's got this look going on. Then right here with the tail fin flaps I like to bring those out. And actually I reversed the decals. The decals you see right here are supposed to go on the inside of the wing and the Decepticon logo on the outside. But I reversed mine because I think that looks so much better and you can see six shots face better. He's got a pretty decent head sculpt. Love the red eyes. So right there that is how I display my six shot and then of course let's put his blasters in his hand and now you have six shot all armed and ready for battle. This is a massive figure, an impressive figure and one of my absolute favorites. And I'm just noticing here, see if I can zoom in. His rub symbol is still working. It's dark blue right now because my office is hot but that is sweet. And now for some quick size comparisons. Here is 1987's generation one six shot with generation one Megatron, generation one Galvatron and Titan's return six shot. 1987's generation one six shot is an amazing Transformers toy. This thing is solid, he's durable, he's fun to play with and to be honest one of the best G1 figures ever made. I absolutely love this toy. I just really, really wish they had fleshed him out more in either the G1 cartoon or Marvel comics because I think they really had a missed opportunity developing this character. So there you go guys 1987's generation one six shot. So, does the 1987 generation one six shot belong in your collection? Absolutely, this is a fantastic Transformers toy.  Though trying to find one on the secondary market right now is a little expensive. When I checked earlier today finding a complete six shot will run you anywhere from $100 to $150. Now funny story about this six shot, well not really a funny story, fun fact, this figure right here I bought in 2012 was the first figure I bought after I sold off all my collection. So I bought this guy at a yard sale for like five bucks and he was really, really rough and I cleaned him up. So he was kind of my first G1 restoration and I think I did a damn good job.

Welcome back to my YouTube channel guys. Today I thought I would do a quick update on me. So some of you may know me and have been following for a while but others may be new and there's been a lot of changes. And so I thought I'd do a video on clarifying all of the changes and the update. So if you don't know me we are a family of six that moved to New Zealand from the US and have been in New Zealand for a total of seven years. So most of my content is about the differences and what it's like moving your family across the world. But today we're going to do a little reflection and talk a little bit about what's going on with me. Here we go. So if you don't know I have been a professor of business, communication, marketing for over 20 years and I've been teaching here in New Zealand which I loved. I love being a teacher. I love my students but I also love being an entrepreneur. You'll find as I go in more in depth on here you'll see like I'm all over the place. I like a lot of different things. So I don't know if you can relate to me but that's me. So I like to do a lot of different things and if you don't know back in 2000 and wouldn't have been like five yeah 2005 six I started a construction company. So I ran a construction company for three years. I've also had my own organic skincare line and then I have an amazon business that I still run. And so those were kind of my entrepreneurial adventures in the past and so when I came to New Zealand was kind of the first time in a while that I had taken a regular job if you will. And it's been good. There's definitely pros and cons to both ways of doing things but as you know I've been doing this YouTube channel and building my brand and starting a couple other companies on the side. And so I have co-oped my job and have officially dove into entrepreneurship or should I say solo, I don't know if you guys are entrepreneurs. It's quite lonely. You know it's just kind of you. You know I would love to have a team you know but then there's also disadvantages to that as you all know as well. But like yeah so it can be kind of lonely but I love it and that's what I am currently doing. So in this video I'm going to highlight all of my new businesses and all the things I've been up to as of late. Here we go. Okay so let's talk about my personal brand. So my first business that I run is Kiwi Americans as you see from this channel and I love it. And I've been doing it for about two years now and it all started with TikTok. If you don't know it originally started with TikTok. I have most the most followers on TikTok. I have recently gone viral with a video that I created for another company so they paid me to do it and it has three million views only in New Zealand. So that's a lot when there's only five million people here but I love TikTok. I love the platform. And what happened was is my TikTok community actually begged me literally begged me to do a YouTube channel and I was like no I don't really I don't really know YouTube. I don't even consume YouTube that much and beg, beg, beg and I listened and I'm like fine because back then you could only make a 60-second TikTok video and so they wanted to hear more and it just I needed a more long-form video platform and ended up loving YouTube. YouTube being like easily one of my favorite by now. So I really like TikTok for short form but YouTube is right up in there and they're really great with their ads platform. You can actually make money to talk about whatever it is that you want and I don't make a lot. Don't get me wrong it's nothing significant but it's at least something something for your time I guess and and I'm getting a lot of brand deals. So within my personal brand I do lots of social media posts, I get brand deals, I've started a company off of my audience and some of the things that would be really helpful to them. So for example I have an consulting service where I help people move here from the US. I also recently started a training hub which you probably see me talk about and that's for anybody that is moving here and kind of everything you need to know to get life set up here in New Zealand, meet other people in the same situation and have access to me a little bit more and so that's really cool and I just redesigned my website back in June and just kind of launched this. So go check it out kiwiamericans.com and that kind of summarizes everything I have in my personal brand and what I'm doing and have really enjoyed that and have been really talking to some fun New Zealand companies as of late might be might be able to see this face on Air New Zealand soon for some in-flight entertainment but more on that later. All right second business I'd like to talk about so I'm kind of going in the order of the biggest incomes for me if you will. The second one is my new digital marketing company that I started with a partner of mine. She's great and we came up with this business because we just feel that the resources out in the market we've taught these kind of classes and we know what people are getting out in the market and we feel like that they're not getting the right stuff to be honest. That's kind of where it started because when you have to learn digital marketing people teach you how to do it like in your mind but the reality is is that if you don't actually practice doing digital marketing you don't actually know how to do it. So then when you go and get a job you don't really feel like you know what you're doing. So we started a coaching program to help small businesses actually learn how to do social media marketing. We have our own courses. We have a course coming up in September on social media marketing which is awesome. It's the only course in New Zealand that actually in the world because I've worked with this company in the U.S. that offers a simulation and so what that means is we're going to teach you digital marketing then we're going to give you an actual company to work with where you can practice doing ads and practice doing organic posts and getting analytics and learning how to read those. So actually practicing doing it and what you think about and how to decide on this or that and what makes sense on this platform and what makes so many good things that you're not learning by just learning general information and so in addition to the big courses we have some mini courses coming up like a mini digital marketing course a mini like how to create short form video course like anything that we are hearing our clients tell us would be helpful and then I do one-on-one I do some marketing for some organization so I love it. I love it. It's all you know it's definitely connected to my other business right so being out there being successful on the social media platforms and then teaching other people how to do it obviously goes together and in line. So if you are somebody in need of any of that I am here to help you and we have some really amazing services and also work with the business council and so there are fun set up for small businesses if you book us through them so that's a great option as well. Now the third business kind of another consulting business that I'm running very side-side but I love it and I'm passionate about it and it's actually going quite well is me and my research partner when we were at the university together we've done research and we studied how can people be better online communicators whether it's teachers business people like there's a piece that we're missing like we could just see it we could feel it and so we've done some research and our research was around nonverbal communication and number one does it exist online and number two if it does then what does that mean in the way that we're communicating and so actually it's been proven by a researcher in Canada that it does exist and we done the research here in Singapore and in New Zealand and it has shown to be true we've created a framework that he has been using in his courses and has had unbelievable success with it like 100% completion rates when he has a lot to overcome with it's he's teaching statistics number one that's boring okay and then number two students you know maybe they struggle with language barriers cultural barriers doesn't matter the framework works because we've brought people back into online learning so if you are a teacher you know of a teacher we have a free course that kind of introduces the framework we're just trying to get it out there because we think it would be really really helpful and he's been starting to train teachers up on it because universities are like how are you so successful this doesn't make sense because it went from really low completion rates to now 100% over and over and over what are you doing differently right and so it's actually a really different way of thinking about teaching online and so I will put the links to all these businesses below if you want to go check them out and if that's helpful to you then that's good I'm not doing this video like to necessarily advertise it I just want you guys to know um what's going on with me and what I've been spending my time because I've been getting some questions about that as well so my second business is kind of consulting business helping teachers business professionals organizations just learn better online all right well I hope you enjoy the update on me I won't make it too long I'm going to talk about myself too much in this video but I just wanted to let you know what's going on with me so please if you have any questions about anything that I said please comment below feel free to reach out if any of my services could be of use to you I love you guys I love this community would love to know what kind of content you'd like to hear because I think as you can see I'm into a lot of things and we'll probably be producing more content on this channel around some of the other things that I do so if there is a topic that is of interest to you please let me know and I'll see you guys next week


Welcome back to why in the morning it's when is then it's one of my favorite day in the week because I get to laugh in the morning have interesting discussions at interviews and as usual on strength of a woman we have a phenomenal woman but before we get to our interview we have a question for you so this question goes like this so say ni ni ni wa tu anga liya wakitafta life partners remember it's why two five four at four we are celebrating our birthday and birthday comes, birthdays come with gifts and joy so we have so many gifts for you but for you to get our gifts you have to go on our social media platforms and comment apochi ni wakitafta nga ni nukitafta life partner and the winner at apoa gifts yes and don't forget to follow us on our social media platforms at why two five four channel so right about now we have a phenomenal woman in the house grace kinnothia karibusana thank you i'll let you introduce yourself tell us what you do my name is chris kinnothia yes as you said i'm a psychologist by profession when i'm meant to have advocate here basically that's what i do that's what you do yeah okay uh psychologist and life coach see the same thing it scares me to need the same i've been trained on life coaching and i'm also currently doing my nlp it's a neuro linguistic program programing thing okay yeah so it's not the same i'd say they are related but not per se because i think life coaching or coaching is more it's specific and you train how to deal with people or how to give people solutions how to help them journey map their lives be it business or companies or etc yeah so it's more detailed okay we'll get to that because i want to know like the difference but before even we get to what is life coaching and psychology maybe you can tell us where this journey started uh what inspired you to be who you are right now okay i've been trying to think about this like how do you miss that and you basically mean a psychologist i'd say can i say it was my mistake or i phone my software i have a background in criminology something i never get to mention a lot and when i went back to school i studied here too and when i went back to school i was confused i didn't know what to do so i asked my lecturer what can i study and though like i think a combination with whatever you've done in psychology can create in then along the way i got to love it though earlier before then i used to be a peer counselor then i used to go to high school this is when you go to high school for mentorship it was in the system before pain yeah so in psychology my psychology friends tell me that it's wide and it can be divided into smaller smaller groups clinical psychology spinning in counseling counseling so where are you placed some of us will say it because i've done okay i went ahead and did other certifications like trauma but when i went to i just did the whole cycle immediate in psychology in psychology so you can just did the whole thing so you can uh you can advise people from different groups you're not like a family counselor or a clinical counselor okay the topics i wouldn't say i would pick but when you study you study everything actually then there are people who decide i want to major in child psychology but you basically have knowledge on everything i don't think even any psychology is insufficient for any topic but most of the time you get to decide what's your passion okay so what uh what makes you really happy about working with people i wouldn't say it's an easy job let me put in course i think the beauty of working with people is listening to different stories it's not a boring job you see it's not a program however you're going to wake up tomorrow in the morning and i'm going to listen or i'm going to do calculations i'm going to suppose each day it's a new clan it's a new story it's a new problem some are a bit difficult you have to go talk to your friends or maybe go back and just decide what do you give solutions go back to books learn more i think it's one of the only fields in medicine that you have to keep on reading reading reading because it's a new way whatever you are taught is called most likely i can't even apply half of that then new ways of doing things then new issues maybe when you learn social media was not part of an addiction it's an addiction you have to learn how do you treat it how do you manage this talking about social media is an addiction maybe you can explain to us how you deal with it okay how are we doing with it mostly we treated like any other addiction it's a behavior addiction how do you get to now train the brain train the mind how not to first of all you look what are the triggers how did you end up as as a social media addict was it because you were curious because you were spending more time on that what are the humming behaviors when it becomes an addiction how does it get to affect your life normal you know an addiction is something that gets to impact your life like you can't function normally if we take away your phone you're going to get sick so how do we get to undo that and what is the healing process like so maybe if i'm addicted to my phone what's the healing process like first we'd have to find out why you're addicted to your phone is it because you don't have a social life in the physical state that your only friends are online is it because you're masking or that's where you feel safe then because this is just the byproduct whatever you see in the physical part but what's the restuation so once we get to learn about that why you you know is it because you don't feel connected to people around you how do you build a connection to people around you is it because when you stress that you open mechanism is it because maybe that's where you work how do we find our alternative now that's where life coaching comes in how do we find other alternatives for you to be able to work in other ways they're not harmful in the end so maybe you can help me separate the difference between psychology life coaching okay psychology basically I think psychology is a whole as you say you go to class and learn for years you learn a lot of things you learn how the mind works you learn organizational psychology child psychology and you learn from development you learn a lot of history psychology has a lot of history but for life coaching is more of learning how do you it's more of journey mapping how do you get to structure people's life in a way they want and you work with a person you don't even get to recognize when it comes to life coaching you are what's your goal what do you want to achieve how do we get there at this situation how do we get where you are and that's what would make you happy what you know what do you see and there's no right or wrong answer when it comes to life coaching it's about you what makes you happy what do you want but I think for psychology I'll be there saying because this will be helpful do you feel helpful you know for life coaching it's more finding the best version of you and psychology is more of healing something exact finding solutions solutions they are interlinked in a way but it will take I can go to school and do a certification and become a life coach but by the time you become like a psychologist it takes a lot of a lot of time when you look at the study system but there are also certifications in life coach that take also a lot of time and it's something you keep on learning it's not a one day thing so you say that life coaching is more of helping someone discover their journey what if I don't know what I want that's where you start with your personality what you want to learn though it involves both psychology because you see also since personality is in psychology you have to learn what you like what are you goals it's a growing process actually nani is instant both of them is something you just sit down discover slowly and get to learn there and between the two which one do you enjoy most both of course they are interlinked because again I tend to find people thinking I'm having a mental health issues I think no but then again this is not even that this is more life coaching it's because also the issues you have to learn what do you use to are you depressed or maybe are you lacking financial skills because you find that some of these issues again people might think do you have anxiety or is it because you can't manage a certain skill when it comes to people are you having issues of public speaking or are you anxious for which both of them can be interrelated and you as a person as a psychologist in a life coach do you ever find yourself in that position where you need the help we all have to we all have to most people ask me I think even a week ago I was working on a project and I forgot something like who do you go for when you need help and just like we do attempts we do to peer to peer like a fellow psychologist you can go talk it's called the briefing whereby you talk to somebody attempts you need your own therapy because most of the times you get to be the offloading point people give you a lot if you are not careful that can end up in your system or you need your own human as well so you need also to go talk to somebody we also have our own personal lives you have your family you have your issues you have ATC so how do you get to now handle that because when the time I'm coming to basin to your issues I have to make sure I'm okay so if I'm having my own things I need to work on I need as well need somebody we all have a way to go about it so you take a break from work and deal with your issues how do you separate your work and your personal life I think when you've done it for a while you already know even when you speak to a client and something triggers you but you already know when to call your therapist say you know like can I see you or can we talk about this I think this triggered me or this what happened unless it's very I wouldn't say I've gotten to I take breaks but I wouldn't really say it's that much of I really need to do this like if I don't do this I can see a client or something but people are it's helpful okay so you're also a mental health advocate theater and acycology is the life coach maybe you can share with us some of the mental health issues that you have dealt with or that are rampant in this time okay I think Kenya we have a thing for depression because it feels like if you trust everybody everything if you in bad mood swings if you're not talking to people maybe they're depressed if you're uncapped people I think most of the time that's one that I've seen and we have a thing for self-diagnosis as people so I think that would be one of the things but the other issues basic issues like trauma trauma is a huge thing especially in childhood trauma you find that most people in our society have things people who are 30 years old who are angry at something that happened at five years there's somebody who's 60 years angry at the sister of brother that's something they did at 15 or 18 that's something also common we also have family issues parental issues that are also common where people you find that they see sibling rivalry I think that's in every African society I'm starting to think so in every society we have another one is a steam issues especially even in men here I have to like put that in capital letters which is also there I think it's basic life skills that we didn't get then now translates to suicide of thoughts mental health, anxiety, ATC and you say that even in men there's like self-esteem issues and there's this common misconception or say that men really don't need to open up how true is that what's your comment about that I think for the past since 2017 I've been doing an event called masculinity mandate it's more about men how do men deliver issues how do men live their life and you find that men are human too I think they have more issues than us women and even when I was coming in they're like go talk about women now and I'm thinking here girls have a lot of issues and most of the time it's just that I think the way we're brought up or socialized as women we are not supposed to you know when you're with a man there I think he's supposed to listen to you more than you're supposed to listen to him most of the time it's about him like how was your day and it's about you venting other than the other way around you asking him how was your day or even your brother or your father you asking them how was your day and they get to say had a bad day and asking we don't go the extra step to ask why what happened and how you feeling about this and how do you and I was like want to just help break that cycle of you know manhole is having to appear strong but they're hurting on the inside okay for many for many takes time most of the time but it's okay for people to speak out but something I've also learnt when you in a circle of men and one opens up and another one can relate you find that oh me too this thing is normal I think for men they just need one person to speak among the circle you friends with like five guys and you have an issue if you be the person who speaks out then the others feel comfortable talking and you guys can sit down and talk they just need to feel like I'm not the only one or to feel that I want to be when I'm weak or something of the sort but maybe it's a lot of men opening up okay that's nice so you said that Ken has a thing for depression so maybe you can help understand what depression really is and you can say then okay most of the time what I say depression you have to be diagnosed it's not something you sit down and wake up and say I think I'm depressed you can see the sense and symptoms but it really take a professional to sit down and it's not a one time thing you don't come to me as a professional and you just like you have depression and I can try to a psychiatrist then go for evaluation it's something that happens it's a cycle you have to have assessment they have to track down your behavior general down your behavior it's something that happens over time yeah and what's the difference between being depressed and being anxious okay anxiety is more of okay most of the time anxiety comes with physical symptoms like once you can see for example panic attacks whereby you find somebody can't breathe it's more of the physical thing then the triggers are more visible other for depression some people can be subconsciously depressed but for anxiety if somebody is anxious you just going to say they are shaking you know the way they talk they are sweating some of them sweat some can't even move it's more for anxiety it's more you can pinpoint it and stress and for stress it's for stress then some people are good at masking because then again you are told stress is normal of which is normal then there's good stress and bad stress and then most of the time I think we focus on the bad side of it there's good stress whereby you get motivated to do something like you feel like if I don't achieve this or if I don't do this I'm going to achieve you know that's a motivation and then there's bad stress whereby it's the negative energy that comes with it now for stress unless you get to know what's making you uncomfortable when are you moving out of your routine when was the last time you were happy like genuinely feeling happy how difficult is it for you maybe at work how is it impacting your life and those close to you then from there that's when it goes up to something like depression when you now can't control it you have to see a professional or something so when a client talks into your office what is the first thing that you do history taking okay history taking yeah like you need to know who are they why did they come here is there history of mental health in the family why do they feel they need to see you need to know what you're dealing with before you even get there yeah and let's say yes after the history taking you start the healing process then after you feel like the client is now okay do you do follow up or maybe just go there only you know something mental health is supposed to be like like a medical checkup whereby you don't have to be sick or you don't even have to have issues to go for therapy no you can just go sit there and talk to somebody about anything and the beauty about it when you sit down and talk it's when you get to maybe figure out an idea the beauty I tell people a bit about therapy I'm not there to charge you I'm there to listen to you I don't have even an opinion about you know the person you can just go sit down do whatever you want and they're just going to know are you okay you're comfortable you're good as long as you're good that's okay so do you make decisions for people am I you help them figure out what is right do we help you figure out unless it's now a condition whereby maybe you need to be in a hospital or it's above your control because you find there are situations like let's say schizophrenia bipolar at some extent whereby if you're suicidal too and we feel like you're danger to yourself or somebody else you and your close ones can sit down and realize this is the best way to go for you so you have a program called Jitunza program and you can share what it is about Jitunza as the sohili name says take care of yourself and for me to have when you look around if you would take care of yourself that's the whole concept because you find that again there's love we have as Africans we have a blame culture whereby you feel when you said it's because 1, 2, 3 did this to me why you deprived or how did you end up this it's because my parents and whoever and whoever did why you like this because I was neglected as a child there's only something about somebody else why you only hungry at work it's because my boss did want to it's never about I did this or I didn't do this so for this it's about from the basics how do you take care of yourself how do you get to learn about yourself it's more of a cost program whereby you get to start from the basics identity, self awareness social awareness how do you get to unpack that then from there you're able to know what are the best ways to take care of yourself how do you how do you get to support them those who are around you are you prone to mental health issues do you have financial issues how do you get to take care of that here so how do you guys function do you like go to communities and talk to them amma you have an office set up where people come and learn this is more of a request program whereby it's the same thing as life coaching or something so other than doing so in the years of doing this I've learnt some of these issues they're not even issues that are supposed to be ending people's society or depressed whatever came up with something that people would sit down and even you as you you and your girlfriends do you have a topic you want to learn about can you maybe figure out esteem is a common issue common issue among estals what do you get to learn about that can you sit down it's more of a request program whereby you and your friends or your peers come around I do schools whereby we can go to school but it's no more of the motivation talk it's more of the learning process for schools it's a four year program when you take it maybe in high school and you get down with it at four so it's something continuous how do you get to learn about yourself how do you get to learn about your personality because these are not things we were taught in our system so now when you are all grown ups that's when you're trying to figure out what do I like am I a sangwin don't like me for my intro so this is more of sitting down and getting to paying attention to yourself because I think we were taught like paying attention to ourselves as selfish now how do you get to learn that and do you have a group that you guys focus on or you do all ages from children to youth to the old people what I've done and I've partnered with different people because I'm not able in a position to handle everybody so what happens we have different psychologists in my database so if somebody needs this and I'm not in a position to handle it or I'm doing something else I know who is best dealing with issues of men and who is best in child psychology and who is best in life coaching I just to refer then we have like more of a curriculum or a guideline that you're supposed to follow and we fly with it just go ahead how long have you guys operated the jitunza wellness program this is going to be jitunza was released actually I was thinking about this before I came in case the donors come I realised that we got officially in 2018 that's when now if you go to the books in the papers that's when jitunza is now started but this has been happening since 2017 so it's about four years also and what are the things that motivate you to go on to go on and to push on I think as an individual is waking up each morning and somebody is like thank you I think this worked for me that for me that's it like seeing somebody saying oh my child is now better oh can we or somebody saying oh I liked what you did with 133 can I come how can we get to do this you see that feedback whereby you're like this is the weirdest career ever you help people so that they can move away from you you give them solutions so that they can't become your clients anymore but just looking up and somebody is saying oh you did a good job you see that small message in WhatsApp or something somebody said I know you said this is the group or you were talking about this in the group but one week later somebody say I actually practiced this and it's you know helped me I think that's also later time but now we're moving beyond in Africa and we are starting now our small communities elsewhere that's really nice and some of the challenges that maybe you've experienced in your long case challenges is that the people who really need this can't afford it so you find that especially during COVID are you going to pay your bills are you going to buy your food are you going to sit down and pay other of this to our psychologists to come you know talk to them that's not a priority actually to most people then you find that you see those issues and at times then again people most of the time when people are coming to you they're already at the point of there's a lot of those have been done if this was realized early and then again we have a culture of the other day so somebody opened me on Facebook telling somebody you need to be prayed for they're now trying to describe these are mental health issues or these are behavior issues that totally have nothing to do with prayers at times I wonder God okay people put a lot on him because those are maybe the challenges and again language has also been a barrier because I feel like I'd like to reach more people in let's say Turkana, Western something but how do you get to communicate that because I think one was in 2017 there's a community called the guys who in the Netherlands and they have a community called my family they do project somewhere in I don't know Turkana somewhere and they were saying this works in one of my main challenges they asked me how do you feel the Maasai community feels when there is drought and all the cows pass away are they stressed but how do you get to communicate that to such people when there is drought or something do those kids I think for us we've gotten to a comfort zone whereby we think it's normal for those people to be hungry or to be sick and we don't know what's the process what's the trauma that goes with that how do you get to communicate how many psychologists do we have up there like how do you get to communicate with them and then that's another issue language language barrier yeah because then you find most of our African languages we don't have mental health I don't know where you come from which part of Kenya but you were told to say depression is bad language I'm sure you'll be like I have no idea I think that should be a question for the week or something so you feel that has most of it's been an issue the most people really need this because the people who have suffered the most they were known as in social media that you can be able to google to write what about those people who don't understand this as much as you won't go there and do this I'm so sure I wouldn't speak that language and they even don't know they're depressed in the first place yeah and then you say the mistake we do most of the time as a society we forget that those people I'm a parent actually so we forget that those people they're going to come back into the city or anywhere they're going to meet with my kid and those kids that are traumatized they're going to relate with my child what's the byproduct they're going to date with my daughter what happens next because again we can't be educated in one part of Kenya or the society and living in the other part around because these people are still going to meet yeah so what's the role of the society or Kenya itself in fighting mental health and then that's why it goes back to it's a personal thing then when you move to yourself then how do you educate your sister, your brother it's a more of a social thing like if you know about these things or you've heard about this thing why not move next to your family member or your girlfriends your boyfriends your men you circle then tap it I think everybody has somebody who lives in or somewhere we would say in up country how about stopping into those people then I think as a country we can be able to do so much because I'm so sure by the time yes they're professionals in those areas but how much can they do then again you find that we are country of mental health issues but every year we have psychologists graduating how are we able to maybe put those people to the society or community levels so talking about corona and the difficult times maybe you can tell us how you're keeping afloat during these hard times I'd say I'm also into business and I have an amazing business partner who is totally amazing so for myself or maybe being able to help her again I'm blessed enough so that's good enough but then again not everybody has the luxury of that or not everybody is comfortable doing that as I say most of the time if a mental health is not a priority it's not food, it's not shelter it's not clothing so for me I'd say okay but I've seen other people who are yeah it's a bit hard for them to move to that part and I tell you know even me as a professional I know when I tell you go mentor this boy go talk to the people you need transport by the end of the day if you're a parent you need to go back to the house your kids need to eat then after that how do you pay your rent so it becomes a bit difficult for people too to be able to do some of these things or to help the society unless they're doing it straight at their doorstep then also again you find that professionals are also humans it's hard for me to come tell you not to get stressed don't worry about food or shelter it becomes a bit so what advice would you give to Kenyans or people who are watching right now and what advice would you give them how should they deal during this hard times because I'm hoping this time will end up very soon I'm hoping soon it's going to be over but for now it's a day at a time a step at a time nobody is okay I believe most people included me we didn't meet our goals for last year and this year we just decided figure yourself out then after that then the basic thing you woke up your life that's good enough living is basically good enough then how do you get to build up on that don't pressure yourself don't pressure yourself I think it's a global thing I ask even the president himself social he didn't meet whatever he wanted for Kenyan last year so I think everybody is struggling in their own way so don't pressure yourself don't stress yourself a day at a time if you can be in a position to help help and don't think it ever goes to waste if you're giving somebody help in hand and for you it's more you never know very poor effect you never know what you're doing for somebody else so what's your vision like where do you want to see yourself in the next few years few years worldwide for now I'm living on the mantra of Africa it's Africa and beyond so right now we're hoping possibly by the end of the month we'll hit 15 countries and just more and more get into communities how do you get to establish a jitun the community as well because African issues are not the same they're not like different these are the same issues we suffer the same way whatever is happening Kenyan is the same thing that's happening in Tanzania Uganda Nigeria when you talk about awareness and people can understand what's mental health that's the same thing those people are struggling with how about and my vision is how about my experiences in Kenya can I get to share them also can somebody get to share the experiences in Nigeria or somewhere else can I see what can I pick from them take it back here in Kenya and maybe to luck can we pick whatever I'm doing here and you know take it out there so so far how many countries have you been able to reach right now three so far we're working in three countries so far like in Nigeria Ghana and Burundi and we hope in India soon and how would you compare the way they receive I think for me I must actually it's something I've had to learn I think we know I've not been exposed in terms of language so first of all for me language was awake of course they have finger in English and I'm like okay wait now I have to listen all this to the but for them again okay in West Africa it's a bit tricky because you know they believe in the witchcraft it is the culture is more deep than it is now having to you know and do that and what they learn and for those who are open minded and what do they practice I'd say we are almost at the same level it's more about for us when it comes to mental health mental health is very fresh in Africa we are doing other basics we are learning because I'm so sure when was the first time you had the time suicide I think I hear it almost every day no I mean the first time you had it the first time I had suicide was it in high school after high school after high school definitely so you can only imagine you teach it in these things after high school okay so what do we have to do now we are still young so we are at the basic step we are not even at we are at the preventive stage and educational stage then again we have to do like we are trying to do damage control, educate and help people at the same time because one you find that I wish small kids in primary and that's what we are doing maybe somebody taught me about self esteem when I was young somebody taught you about how to be life coaching how to set up your goals when you were 5 years old and how to do the vision board and it's kind of funny these kids outside there they learn these things when they are 6, 7 or something these are the things we are teaching in companies here at 40 oh yes at 50 just like okay we have a long way to go but can we still keep going and then that's one of the things in Africa we are still at the basic stage let's learn this because if you go and ask somebody outside as I said we don't even have languages for mental health if you go ask somebody else we are outside here what is mental health what do you think about mental health what's depression what's anxiety what's bipolar you know what society is what's trauma some people are just going to love it and be like if that thing sounds for me you know it sounds for me so I think we just at the basic stage educate yourself we have to do like a whole introduction program whereby trauma is stress management and that's what we do okay so as we end the show you can give us a patting shot give your views a patting shot I'll still say take care of yourself because nobody will come it's not a blame game thing another society is interlinked but how do you put your boundaries around how do you ensure that nobody is blamed whatever you're going through take care of yourself that's basic thing if you have any issues speak out it's nobody's going to judge you if you feel we on social media jitunze in twitter jitunze underscore ke Facebook jitunze underscore ke Twitter yeah I've seen Twitter Instagram jitunze underscore ke yeah we have her Richard and the people who are willing to volunteer as well that time we have volunteers even in Nairobi okay so thank
