Right, so I welcome, I'm Lisa Floyd, I'm the principal. And Jason Finley, associate principal. David White, parent. I was just gonna share a little bit about power school this year. Okay. It's something that I've struggled with from my older son who's gone through. So for six years I feel like we've gone back and forth between different programs. Mm-hmm. It's been hard to sign up the right way and get teachers to action and then you finally get on the right program and then teachers weren't using it quite right. So there's just like the feedback loop of grades to parents has been a struggle for like six plus years. So I had kind of given up going into this year to be honest. Okay. But I had a positive experience where my son basically downloaded the app on my phone and he logged in as himself. Okay. And it's been working amazingly well. So I got two great updates today. And when he's late, embarrassingly too oftenly late, I get like a tardy since like my minute he's late. So there were attendants if he's late, if he's late, we know he's gonna be out that day. And I've kind of liked that feedback to more than I have in any other pretty sure. So I don't know if it's the same with parents login or I'm just getting this experience because he logged me in as himself. But I kind of like that so far. Nice. So one thing that we did differently this year is we had run a two year pilot of Schoology which was a standards based grading platform that we adopted because we were trying to be responsive to needs with proficiency based grading and power school had not yet implemented standards based grading. So what they did was a one was a 25, a two was a 50, a three was automatically a 75. So it put everything on a hundred point scale and a three is actually proficient and impacts your grade, your GPA far better than a 75. So they finally adopted a standards based grading platform. We took the other system Schoology out of the way and we're down to just the one clean SMS which is a student management system which student information system SIS which does all of the attendance, all of the tardies, all of that stuff. But it's also our grading platform or learning management system. And so it's all in one place. And we also shared with teachers the expectation that grades get entered every two weeks. And we've reinstated interim reports for this year. So those will go home. I think we're planning like October 10th or something like that. Just because when we discussed it with our leadership team this summer, the frustration of families of not seeing grades on a regular basis, they thought having that deadline in the center of the quarter actually helped. So we also reinstituted our co-curricular eligibility policy linked to habits. Yeah, so yeah, I'm glad that that was a positive experience. So it's good feedback. And it feels like maybe it's always been this way like I feel like the tardiness. So I think it's good to get that immediately. Mm-hmm. To get the conversation when you get home, right? Yeah, yeah, it hasn't turned around. I mean, he's 50-50 this week, so hopefully it's better. Yeah, that's awesome. Actually, it's good to put two, so I'll put that in the newsletter for our teachers to let them know that there is a positive experience on the parental side, at least in this case. I don't know if the parent login is the same. But when I say I was sort of ready to give up, like I think my son came home with one, it was a syllabus or something, a math teacher wanted signed off. Okay. Of course, it didn't give it to me until about 10 minutes before we had to leave. We probably already left that party knowing him. But so I'm signing it quickly, but it was like it was really driving home the use of power school, but it was like a page worth of instructions around it. When my son did it, it wasn't that complicated. So I think it's a very valuable tool for parents and it should be expressed in a way of how simple it is. Now we'll be able to enter the code. That's it. Like keep it that simple. If it's a page of instructions, you're gonna lose people's attention, I think. Yeah. I hope the parent one is as easy. Like I didn't login as myself. I'm logged in as my son. So hopefully the parent one works similarly. I hope, yeah, I hope so too. Good. Is Tammy coming? No. Okay. Hi. How are you? I know, that's wonderful. Only because I cleaned the closet out the first time. Oh, okay. All right. Since I've been, that's when I found that stuff. And I was like, I might as well bring it down to school. Yeah, that's great. So we're just sort of giving people a little bit of time. Hi, to ask any questions you might have or share anything that's on your mind. And then we have something we were going to ask of all of you too, so. So before I talked about power school a little bit and the struggles I've had over the last six years, but the positive experience I've had over the last couple of weeks. So power school is the app of like, communicating with grades. So my son logged me in as him. Okay, because I'm not tech savvy. Doesn't mean I don't know what powers are going on here. Well, for me, it's like, I don't know. It's pretty good, you're in the system. Yeah. I don't have anything to bring to the table right now. I just want to come listen and see what's happening. All right. I'm confused about what we're supposed to talk about in each one of these, because is this the high school one or the district one? This is the high school one. And then I suspect in about half an hour, 45 minutes, Lane and Heather will show up and then we will transition out at 6.30. Okay. I saved my comment. Okay. All right. That's the case then. So this is high school. You want to hear other things that are on our minds of? Yes. I have one thing. Yes. I'm super excited about the sports eligibility. The habit sports? Yes. Really excited. It's been really fun to tell the kids, like you need to be a good human being or you're not going to play sports. And I'm really serious about that. So it's really nice to have the back of the school. Thank you. And the cell phone policy. Yes. I can't wait to hear from you guys on how that's going. The supers like to see that as well. I wanted to share with you, we said something that experienced when school, kind of when schedules went out, that is before school started. And on Facebook, on social media, there was a big kind of lashing, what is this insane, any of these part of all schedules? Okay. Which I was like, oh geez, here we go, you know. And thankfully, because of that parent group that we sat on this spring, the cats heard me tell this story like four times now. I was able to be like, hey, like I know what this is all about. And there was a lot of like bad kind of lashing of it. And I was like, all right, I'm going to speak up because I learned about this. And I had the same responses you guys in the beginning, but I explained what you guys taught us about different kids, like the different types of the day, like learn better. And it's like fair for all the teachers and all the people that have these kids all day long. And once I did that, like the mom who started it was like, wow, thanks. That's awesome. I had never thought about it like that. And I was like, wow, that really worked. You know, it was just really cool to be like, just getting that little bit of education and like that communication went just so far. And I found that with several things that like came up that we had got to talk about in those smaller rooms. And I felt empowered to be able to like step in and say something about it. Because otherwise I probably would have had that same feeling when I saw it. Even though Jackson only had like two days time schedule on the team, but he was like, cause it was like gin and... I wanted to go for fun. He's like, why did you call Kara? Well, buddy. Yes, yep. So yeah, so I just wanted to share that. That's awesome. Thank you. Well, and also like if you have student athletes and they're leaving early in the day, they're not consistently missing the same class every week, it's kind of spread across, you know, sharing that across all the classes. I also received some good feedback about the schedule from my students. Okay. He said he liked it better this year. And I think it had to do with the not having such large blocks of time. His attention span, his ability to get up, get the blood flow and move around. He says that's working better for him so far this year. The only negative thing I heard, and it wasn't from the teacher, but I just observed is like, I was talking to a machinery, she's like, oh, you know, we have to be a little more creative about when to find a time to go out to the river and do some experiments because we don't have the big block that we used to have. But she didn't step down on it at all. She just said, you know, we're gonna have to find a time to do it and we'll do it. Yep. Yeah, I think, I think one of the positives too, is that there is a lot of intentionality when you have a little less than an hour to use, it feels like there's a sense of urgency at the time that you have. And I don't think that's a bad thing. Is there an ability for those classes that would do something like that? Like, I remember when we had those shorter blocks, there was some classes that had like a lab. A double block, yeah. Right, a double block, one time a week or something. Is it allowed for that longer process? Do they have that? We, I think right now we're sort of trying this and seeing what the needs are. There is the capacity to call students back during the callback block. We haven't double blocked any classes yet. Because actually the way it shook out in terms of time, students are making, I don't have the numbers right in front of me, but they have so much more time on learning in class that they're gaining like days of class over weeks and months. And so it, that feels really good. They're having more time in class, particularly at the middle level. So they're having more time on learning overall with this schedule. But the lab sciences we haven't done that for. So we'll see AP Bio is being taught in the same size block as everything else. And so far it sounds like it's working out okay. Hi Ramsey. Yeah. It's the high school one first and then the district one. Yeah. But welcome. So we're just starting with anything people have on their minds that I would like to share with us. As we jump into this new school year. No pressure. Okay. Well, I just came because I was just in a meeting where I was saying how the school is very important to the community in general and vice versa. And so I decided that I should come to it. That's wonderful. And you're the parent of alumni. I have a parent with the last children who went through this school. Yeah. I feel like this is a new work, so she doesn't feel like that. It gets posted, it's Orca media. Right. Well, we have a request for all of you if you have asked your questions, et cetera. So one of the things that we're doing this school year is spending some time developing a communications plan to get information out about the positive things that are happening and the hard things that are happening, just more clear and effective communication. So one of the ways that we thought we collect information is just to share, to ask people to share their perceptions, thank you, of our school. And so we asked just some really open-ended questions that we thought we could use as a springboard for discussion this evening. And then also, they would give us an area of focus, like where to start in terms of addressing perceptions and help them more closely align with the reality of what we do. Is that an adequate description? Yeah. Of course. Okay, good. Yeah, it's not a pop quiz. Okay, good. Okay, good. Oh, no, I can read. I taught eighth grade English for 16 years. I can read everybody's handwriting. Yeah. So how does the school communicate now? Right now, what we mainly, we just barely created a new Facebook presence. I don't know if those of you who get my newsletter each week have noticed down at the bottom, there's a teeny tiny link to Facebook. We just, our Facebook last fall was filled with harsh things and then eventually crashed when our system was hacked. And so we've lived without it for about a year. So we did a little bit of a toe dip into social media again. So there's that. We communicate mostly through a weekly newsletter that we put out for parents. And we can do robocalls when we need to. We reach out to the Herald when we have an opportunity or something to really celebrate or something that feels newsworthy. We've added the Herald to our newsletter. List served so that it goes to them as well as everybody else. So if there's like a, on our newsletter, there's a mark your calendars section. And so if there's something on there that they see that they want to cover, they can come here. I think that's most of it. For an update, I forget we're left off with the homework fallacy. Yeah, that's more the next meeting. The homework policy, we collected feedback from the advisory board, Lane collected feedback from staff. I think students had an opportunity when talking about the portrait of a graduate work, which we have a lot of student voice in to give some feedback. And I think they're hoping to get near a final draft on it. So I know that they really appreciated the thoughtful feedback that our family and community advisory board gave them as I had several, I think three or four pages of notes just from our small group that I was able to share.  As I loved when I was a parent getting the newsletters and knowing what was going on. But I felt like as soon as I wasn't a parent of a child in the school anymore had no idea what was happening in the school. So I just think it would be great. I think it's great to figure out a way that either if it's community members who aren't parents in the school can subscribe to your newsletter or whatever to have something where. I've been posting it on our Facebook each week. We have two followers on the new Facebook so far. I just followed you. Okay. Here we go. All right, it's the one that has the picture. It's a few of us too. With the rainbow. Yeah, with the rainbow. Yep. Got the right one. Yep. So, middle of high school, yep. Oh, we're up to eight? Yeah, that's nice. All right, great. And then we have a staff member. So Michelle Holder is our media specialist and she's agreed to cover events for us and cover events for us and write articles so we can push out to the newsletter and our social media and the Herald. Which is already in the Herald today because I saw Michelle's name. Oh, really? Oh, really wonderful. Was it about the SCUBA program over the summer? Okay, because I knew she was working on one for that. I don't, I... She spoke to media followers. Oh, all right. All right. Just to get the kids that don't make that. Probably pushed followers. So does anyone want to share some of the perceptions or talk about them or ask questions? I don't know. I feel like we're a pretty small and friendly group, so. Trying to overcome these last year and change that for the poor communities because I think it is a much broader, like, concern or feeling. I almost feel like those of us who do have kids and it can feel more passionate about it and okay about it because we see these wonderful kids and work with them all the time but how can they let everybody else see that and I think having that bigger media presence which unfortunately that's the way the world works now is just a little media but kind of celebrating the good and what those kids do. Our plan in a lot of ways right now is to re-institute advisory boards for PBL and because you are on the PBL advisory board pre-COVID, I think you were too Ramsey. So we want to have one for our innovation center as well as PBL because we feel like it's very important to hear from local businesses in the STEM fields around what their needs are and in terms of what we're teaching students. And also in the PBL realm, I know the PBL group is planning a lot of events already. And I think part of my work last year, so before I became the associate principal, I was in the innovation center and working on building up, because COVID, right, we stopped bringing people in and we stopped having students go out and so working on more community connections and thinking about the career exploration piece and how that informs post-secondary pathway planning. So our new director down there is looking at how do we, CCV is having a day where they're bringing a bunch of students up to Central Vermont Medical Center exploring all the different careers in healthcare and then the educational pathways that could lead to those that you could access through the Vermont State Colleges and so exposing our students to the world of work as well as how that ties into post-secondary education. So that's gonna be a large focus of his work that was started in large part last year. There was a continuation of some work that Ken Cotto did when he first came in and Workforce Development and so there's kind of like re-energizing that work that he had done and because we're past COVID, we're way past COVID and so time to bring that back to the surface because it is meaningful for kids to find a sense of purpose in their work for some of these, their classwork, their academic works and connecting that to that future planning. So that's part of the work that will be happening on there, especially with the STEM fields, but all career paths. Yeah, last year the focus was but it was kind of people with like diversified backgrounds and kind of like what got them to where they are today. So I was asked to sit on that and there was a really interesting group of us. There was like a death investigator from the Vermont State Police and myself and somebody who'd gone into agriculture and somebody who were working on diesel engines and just in the state highway department. Yeah, I mean there's just different people and they, when we kind of turned it over to the kids like do you have questions or, you know, they just clamped up. It was like they did what they could do with all of us in the room and you could tell like it had been years since they had had us there, you know, they just kind of didn't know what to do with us there. That was sad to see and I hope that that, hopefully we get the fact with us that people back in the school, I think that will also help the perception that we need. Yeah, and that takes practice, right? That social engagement, like part of the class I taught last year, we would spend days on how do you make a telephone call? Like the old rotary phone and you pick it up and how is that the other end? It's like, this feels weird. They hate it. Right, they hate it. How do you engage with people? It's a skill. It's a skill that has to be learned and developed. So again, that's part of the work that will be happening with our director, the sound there.  So I think often when we've been through really hard things, we focus on trauma-informed work and really supporting people and that whole body of evidence is beginning to shift toward healing focused work. So it's subtle, but it's really looking at, rather than what you've experienced or lived, but like how you can find your strengths and then work to heal from the traumas you've experienced and come through that and how you can be effective and pursue your goals and dreams. And so I think shifting some of our focus with students is on helping them develop greater self-efficacy skills and learn about themselves that they can do the things we're asking them to do. And they can talk to adults and they can help people in the community because I think that's one of the most powerful levers we have in terms of getting students to a more positive place. I just think about the group of students that we worked with when they were delivering veggie van go foods to the Randolph house and how positive that was for our kids, but also how positive it was for the elders who lived there. Um, it was more about the interaction almost than the food they were bringing because the kids were developing the skills of knocking on the door with safe people, talking to them. In some cases, you know, someone might not have been feeling well and it was pre-COVID, so they would say like, I can put this in the refrigerator for you and just like helping other people, helps people feel good about themselves of all ages. I appreciate the focus on those with trauma, but then I also just think there's kids that like came out of COVID fine, you know, like they didn't have anything super traumatic or they don't view themselves as having gone through. Also, craving it. Right. Just want to do school and play basketball or baseball. Yeah. Or all the sports. Or all the sports, yeah. Those are some of the things we've been communicating. Also our, you know, our test scores where we're a school who has gained, even if it's been limited gains throughout COVID. We haven't had the 10 or 15% setbacks that some schools have experienced. And so I think that really speaks to the resilience of our kids and our teaching staff as well. So as we started to just get a first glimpse at our spring testing scores, they're not terrible. And we're still moving forward. And so I think that's an important thing to focus on too because it's not that way everywhere. And the work that happens here is good work in a lot of ways. We always have room to grow, but I mean, right now we're experiencing a little bit of growing pains from the cell phone policy. I think students were a large part of the population that was asking for more structure around cell phones. They were disrupting, they saw the disruption that it could cause when someone's sitting next to me, my teacher's constantly having to ask them to put it away. And then it's taking away their learning time. They realized that. So I think we're seeing a few are struggling with it. I think mostly the response has been like positive from the students. They still kind of like, well, I'm in between classes like in the back, right? It's like, see they're at lunch, before school, after school, and that's it. Yeah, lunch.  What are you doing? It's lunch. Yeah. Yeah.  Yeah, it's not, I don't think it's overly restrictive. Right? So the first time it happens, they do get a pink slip. So sometimes that puts them, like, well, this is my first, like we're just documentation, right? It's put it away. And as long as they put it away, it's for documentation in the second time, they will leave it at the front office. Then they can actually come and pick it up at the end of school, right? So it's like still, then once you get to the third time, that's when a parent has come in to get it. But what we're, we'll start to see maybe more of that now that we've been in long enough, is it's not by the day or by the class, that's cumulative. So if it happened on Monday in this class, and Tuesday in this class, and Thursday in this class, that's three. That's number three. So it's, we're getting that point, I think in the school year, where some of those students might be creeping up to that. The, the, the, The parents be told. They should be receiving phone calls. You should be receiving phone calls from the teacher. Yeah. So they must be doing okay. God. God. You can't be emailing me the other.  Oh. Yeah. And I think the vape sensors, I think are really helpful. Yeah. I was anticipating that that would be all consuming of my day. So what happens is as soon as a vape sensor goes off, we receive, there's a number of us that receive these email notifications, but it's been really minimal. So where are they located? Everywhere. But in the bathroom. Yeah. Right. So. Oh, the kids know what they are. Yeah. Yeah. So what we tell students is in bathrooms and places where we had problems in the past. So that kind of leads up open to where that might be. As we're talking about bathrooms, curious if the doors are open or closed or on or off or if there's anything to do with that. The doors are on, but we have been clear that if the level of vandalism and vape and making younger students feel unwelcome gets back to where it was, then we'll have to talk about it again, because the bathrooms are for everybody. So they let us know when there's a vape event they let us know when there's an event that might be an aggression event, because the way it's been explained to me is that they develop, we don't hear what's going on in any given place, but they have a sensor that develops like a common level of sound. And when something is atypical, then it alerts. So we have reinstituted a senior lounge for seniors who have earned senior privileges, so they have to maintain those privileges in order to be able to access the lounge. They were very happy about it. They were playing a game there the other day, and apparently there was some cheering, which registered as an aggression event. And they were really surprised when three of us showed up to see what was happening, but that was okay, you know, I think it's good for them to know that we're taking it seriously and we're going to be there. Some students have tried to test it, like, oh, if I spray this cologne or apron, and it knows it doesn't go on. It didn't work. It didn't work. Then right now, like send a message now, no, no. So they're accurate. I was worried when they said they wanted to try it. They were like, we're gonna test it, we're gonna spray our body spray. And I thought if they know that the body spray throws it off, we're gonna be in trouble. And it didn't, so. So we could honestly say it responsive ape. Yep. So that was good. Good information. And I can think of at least two students so far who have accessed cessation counselors. Is they're tired of talking to us already. And we're two and a half weeks in. Or two weeks in, just about. So. That feels positive. As a general theme, I feel like that's been, positivity's been a theme across the school this year. I don't know what you're hearing at homes or, but from the open house, just so much positive feedback from families. It was good to hear and feel and I feel like it's been from the staff too and the students. It's been a pretty positive year. I mean, it's not without struggle, but. We're still seven through 12 school. Students are students and kids are kids. Yep. No. Yeah, we started at 530 and we started with people's feedback and questions and then, we're collecting perceptions. So, yeah. But we have graphic organizers, because sometimes I just have to make them like the old teacher part of me dies hard. Just, we are. That's a graphic organizer. Yeah. Worksheet, whatever you want to call it. Yeah, we'll allow it. We think we're going to have a musical this year. We have 30 students signed up in after school theater. We have eight students signed up in after school dance. So, those are four credit classes and the fine arts and our dance teacher is working with a PE teacher so that we can offer PE credit for dance. Yeah. And then we have a, we split the music position. We were having trouble finding a suitable candidate and then we found a really strong choral music teacher who fills the 0.5 of the position and an instrumental music teacher. Accepted a 0.5 position. So, our tall way is so vibrant during the school day. And after school today, our rock band was playing and dance class was happening. And people in our innovation center were still printing with the 3D printers after school. So, it was a happen in place down here. Oh, that's, would you talk about the after school bus? Yeah, that's exciting too. All right, we should open up a ton of opportunities. Yep. First students might have more information about the night but runs for all five days? It's running all five days. So, because we have classes happening after school that students can get credit for, it's important to be able to get them home afterwards. So, if you wanted your student to access the late bus, there was a Google form that's in our newsletter and you would fill that out. And then we check attendance partway through the morning and cross-reference that with the day that you've signed up to attend. And then Danny, our director of transportation figures out which buses will run based on ridership. And then they show up between 415 and 430 and take the students home. And so right now, we don't have as many riders as I think we will have. It seems like we're gaining more and more every day as kids realize that it's a resource available to them. And I think the elementary schools are starting October 15th, right? So then we'll have more students who can attend after school programming at the elementary level and then hop on the buses and go home closer to my mom and dad get home. We're exploring tutoring options for students after school. And again, part of that effort too of increasing educational opportunities that when a student can take that class as after school, that means their calendar and the day, they're not making this decision. Do I take AP Calc or do I take theater? You can, all of a sudden you can take both. So that's one of the benefits for our students that kind of opens up those opportunities for them. One thing I think it would be helpful, I know my son, he doesn't fully understand why he needs to take some of those classes that he may not be, I could explain to him that it's part of the colleges or graduation like that's all required. So if you put it off, it's gonna be there at the end and that there's more things you're gonna have to take and you can't just take gym all morning. So I think a little, and maybe he's just ignoring it if you're doing it, I apologize. But just focus for them on that planning, that four-year planning, the benefits to doing it early versus leaving until you're last year, but that could be helpful back at the end. I know they do some of that at the end of eighth grade, but it's such a frantic time. We also, what else have we done? That's new, we also bought an SEL or social emotional learning curriculum and the one that we got is called Wayfinder and it is aimed specifically at grades seven through 12. So a lot of that goal setting and understanding your four-year plan is built in. One of the things that we realized is that advisory depended a lot on which advisor you got. So if you had more than one child, you probably know that went through our school system that sometimes you might get an advisor who communicates really well and you feel like you understand everything and sometimes your child might get an advisor who is great for them because they play a lot of basketball but not great at some of the other things. So we're hoping to develop equity around advisory and making sure that all students get what we expect them to get in advisory through using this curriculum and one of the things I'm excited about is like the goal setting and the opportunity to have a conversation about those pathways and it also has different lessons for different grade levels so that over time students will start setting goals that are appropriate for seventh graders but then in ninth grade it's like starting to look more at college and career readiness and what you need to realize your goals and dreams. So we haven't ruled that out yet. We were giving people an opportunity to do some of the team building and all of that beginning of the school year work but that should be happening in the next two weeks. I also wanted to focus a little bit because you were asking about the things that in terms of community perceptions that maybe we wish people knew more about at the beginning and I think in our area it's really remarkable that our students got to go snorkeling Key Largo last year and experience science hands on in the ocean. We are in a landlocked state. We don't live in a particularly wealthy area in the state and students in the marine ecology class regardless of their ability, their family's ability to pay for that trip, they fundraised, they wrote grants, they did all of those things and so students were able to go on that trip. I think it's really special that we offer dance for credit after school at a public school. I also know that this summer we had 13 students become certified scuba divers which is remarkable and they are fundraising and beginning to plan for a trip. They got a big grant that will allow them to use their scuba diving skills to plant coral in a coral reef that's been really impacted by the ocean becoming warmer. So they're studying about our world and ways to make a positive impact and then they're gonna do it. So that's pretty exciting. And where else we went last year, we went to Japan? We had kids, yep. Morocco, right? Morocco, Japan, yep. All right, so it's... Do you have any exchanges on this way here? Yep, in October, the Cookshaven trip will be here. Those students will be here. Yeah. That's what... Videos, they're gonna be shared and people are more likely to watch them than read an article that they might not see in the hero. Right. As sad as that is that the print just doesn't help. I know that's... I think a video or some heartwarming story for those parents to share it just kind of spirals. So I think those types of things are great. And then I hear the voices of the kids and see the excitement. So one of our graduating seniors last year asked the rationale for the decision that we made. And so we sat with him and explained the whole thing and he was like, that should be a TikTok. This was a three-minute conversation and I understand. And I was like, I don't know if I'm ready to become a TikToker, but okay. Boy, you can just have a kid role-playing. Exactly, that would be perfect. We have all our theater kids, right? Yeah. Yep. But I do think there's something to be said for a video. Yep. That's a good take back. What's that? Yes. Oh yeah. Oh my gosh. I don't think anybody in the world needs more negative videos. Oh, wonderful. Oh, nice. From the Tech Center, he's in his second year of video. He did our portion of a graduate video last year. I don't know what you made it. So ideas like this, I had skills identified. Sweet. Yeah, I wasn't sure if that was still different. Yes. It's a five-different program and it's full. Yeah, pretty sure. Great instructor, yeah. Make capitalizing on that one. I know personally, I'm struggling, trying to figure out how to make reels on Facebook because of how push me over the edge. But I think people actually go to TikTok and make them and then put them on. Oh yeah, it's so easy. Do this. And so, that's just the way of the world now. Mm-hmm. Video on social media. Any other questions for us? I know in my car ride home, there's gonna be like 20 other things. I'm like, I wish I would have shared that we're doing this and that. Talk about the double-dump math and yeah. Oh, I was gonna get there, yeah. So we used the data from last school year in combination with the information about, we used to have like Lit Lab and Math Lab and it was a lot of like homework completion blocks and it wasn't really moving students forward in terms of skill development. And so, what we've done this year is use the data from late last year to populate learning extensions in math and literacy and students can test out of them and come out on a quarter basis. But they're really focused on skill development. So the Star 360 test, we sent home scores with schedules last year. We used that data to help populate these extensions if students need skill development. That program also will identify where the skill gaps are for students and it will group them and it supports teachers in understanding where they may need to do some greater development or focus. And so, that's the curriculum that we're using in those extensions and students have been really overwhelmingly positive about it. Just had a student today who showed up and he was like, I don't know that I wanna do this. Like I'm scheduled into it and I didn't take the test seriously last year and you know I didn't take the test seriously and so we just said, we're gonna give the test again, take it seriously, but we're not giving up on your capacity to learn.  He needs to be able to communicate and he was like, fine, if I am struggling on the test, then I will stay but if I can pass it when I really try, I want out. So we agreed and we'll see how it goes. As his scores have been close to the cut score a couple times, but you just don't know. I feel like, yeah, give them some ownership too. He has to map out. Right. And I also think having those conversations, it makes the kids feel really cared for. We're really paying attention to what they do. And kids, well, I can't remember what the survey was, but our kids want to be challenged. They've shared it in the survey. They want to be challenged to try to be their best. And so this is part of that. I'm making sure that everyone's reaching their peak potential whatever their own potential is, but they want that challenge. Ms. Miller, there was a question earlier and neither of us had off the top of their head around the schedules. What was the total over the course of a year or the student's time here? What's the total number of days or hours are we adding with these small schedule changes? Do you have off top of your head? So, and I think it's a little reduced from this because of the advisory people on the Xbox. But when we did the analysis, I mean, the biggest thing that's going to improve the students kind of academically is time for teachers. That's the biggest leverage point. And so we did an analysis a year or two ago about how much time we're learning and the students actually spending versus what's kind of a national norm. They were quite shy, but there were lots of areas in the schedule where time could be made up. And so the maximally based upon the schedule it would add 175 learning hours per year, which is significant. It's almost like an additional class. And then I did the calculation a little further the students are here from middle school and high school, it's about an additional you're learning with them with the type of things. And so it makes a huge- Significant. And the scores that like the high school have actually been going up the last couple of years even during COVID. But one of the things I'm worried about is we still don't have a ninth grade score. I know. It's not coming out for the end of the month, but we had that disruption with the heating last year and so that's going to happen in fact. I'll see what that means again. Current ninth grade or last year? Last year. That's great. Well, anybody who was at the high school knew about this, you know, they lost probably last three weeks. Mm-hmm. You guys did that analysis. Wasn't most of the pickup in teacher time because of getting rid of things like the callback? Callback, the daily advisories. And so one of the discussions that we had like on the advisories, which is why the SCL program was brought in, you know, we talked about the way behind it, was advisories are actually not a bad thing if you have a curriculum that everybody is following. And so that was kind of built in. I think they weeded back a little bit in time. I think they got more and more of the callbacks. I think the students are actually picking up even more instruction time because we were talking earlier, the teachers have smaller windows of time. They don't have these huge blocks anymore. So they're being more urgent and, you know, with their time, they're being more strategic, I guess. And the cell phone policy I think is helping, too, because when I know my son, when he had a huge block, if he finished his work, he finished his work. Teachers didn't throw more work at him. He was like, off on his cell phone. So, yeah, I think those two things are helping a lot, too.  Unless you're an art teacher or science teacher, it's hard to manage the time and maintain a sense of urgency because of teachers. About the 60-minute point somewhere in there, 55 to 65 minutes is the sweet spot, which they tend to be. So they've got a really good schedule right now that they don't know what to do. They're resistant to late time. I mean, I'm here as well. I usually do hangout more kind of at the district level on peace, so I'm happy if there's questions district level or district priorities. It sounds like you did a little bit of the mental model discussions. Yeah, that's what the graphic organizers are. So I'll take those if you're ready to hand them back or drop them off any time. Thank you for coming out tonight.


We on Boss Talk 101, here we gon' talk, we gon' have fun. Check it out, man, it's a unique hustle. It's your boy, E-C-E-O. It's your boy, Monty Moses, by the way, and we creating content every damn day. Check it out, man, we here today, man, with a known legend, man, a guy that you guys don't, he don't need no introduction, man. It's going down, man, one of the coldest dudes I know, man, hey, been doing this, did this when nobody else was doing it, a marketing genius. It's your boy, man, Mike Jones. Hey. What's up, what's up? Man, how you doing, how you doing, man? Save, man, just, just, hey, man, swaggering out, just, hey, man, appreciate you for coming on the show, man. Boss Talk 101, man, yes, sir. So, man, I got a lot of questions for you, man. Woo, man, just the thing that I always often wondered, man, I was like, this dude, man, when marketing wasn't even popular, when dudes wasn't even doing it, you was doing it. And it tripped me out on, I think it was on tip and on post, and you said, you said that, you know what, first round picks coming, who is Mike Jones coming, and then you said, back then on it, I'm trying to figure out, did you really plan all that prophetically, or did you have it laid out like that? It was one, two, three, so I'm gonna break it down to you like, before that song, if you go back and listen to my mixtapes, like Ballin' on the Ground, that came out in 2003, so a quarter million underground. All that was already instrumental, my album, who is Mike Jones coming soon, my album, who is Mike Jones coming soon, my album, who is Mike Jones coming soon, every song. Let me tell you something. Every song, right or wrong? Every song. So it was institutionalizing me, once it's something on my heart and on my mind, that's the foundation. Everything else, I ain't making no sense to me. Like, I know Mike Jones and I know what I'm rapping. That's all I need. You know what I'm saying? I don't need, you flex, I don't need the clout, I don't need none of that. So I seen it with our Instagram, it worked for me. Bro, you was doing it before that. Right, so. And the thing I trip out of it's like, okay, this guy's either prophetic or what, cause when I look back hindsight, and I'm looking at it, I'm like, how the heck this dude knew that and nobody else was doing it. Nobody else wasn't doing that, bro. Let me give you, before we got GPS, right?  For sure. Right? It could be different people that's trying to call you and distract you and, but if you focus, I gotta go knock that out. Then I'ma come back and get you on the way, coming back in.  Yeah, yeah.  And you forgot about the route. You forgot about the focus. And even though GPS is here, you still forgot about the route, forgot about the focus. So back then, I never forgot about the route, forgot about the focus.  You killed it. I'ma make sure that you know this. And you said it two or three times. It wasn't no one time. And people used to say, man, he a gimmick.  No, no, no. I want you to understand. You killed it. Now in 2020, they do it so much. They all do it, but that's why I be sad. I say, man, I was telling my boy early this morning, I said, you know, they got that whole movement from him. And the credit don't really come like it should. Yeah, they want to, but it's cool. Because I know the old G's know. See, because the old G's is the one who heard it. Everybody that's around my age, it's around my time. We seen it when there wasn't no IG for us to see it. Just imagine if what happened with George Floyd happened back in 03. Do you think he would have got that type of coverage because we didn't have Instagram? We didn't have where he could do it. It wouldn't be seen. So time and it's everything, you feel me? So for that to be revolutionary with the George Floyd, we needed and had to have computers, Instagram, everybody connecting all over the place. And then it's all in London and in this world. So every 10 years, every five years, stuff just get bigger and technology just get better. Let me ask you another thing. So what about the number? I see you got the number back. You called me, you tripped me out. I said, this nigga got this number back and everybody know the number. Yeah, they gon' change. How did you accomplish that?  Well, yeah, I got it back a few months ago. A few months ago. Okay. I know it left. I guess you can tell me a little bit about how you got it taken away, but then I want you to bring me back into how you got it back. Well, I'ma go, I'ma break it all into a capsule. Right? So the whole reason for me doing the number, like I had a number, another number at first, it was<PHONE_NUMBER>. Okay. I used to get that number, it was a single or wireless. Okay. And at that time, you know, they was high. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.  I had it. People in my, you know. In old school, I had it. So hustler, gotta have it. 70, 80 cents a minute type thing. I used to tell my wife, we been around for 20 years. I said, look, the ministers, we got into it about the minutes. The minutes is up. You know, you over the minutes. I was paying $3,000 a month. Yeah. Just to keep what I was doing as an experiment at the time. Okay. I didn't have Instagram. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I was cosign my move. But you killed it by making it. I didn't have TikTok to it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So it was just straight. You straightened out. But the thing was, you were the only one doing it. But see, I was all alone. But see, at the time, it was good because I was by myself.  No, nobody. It was like you were eight of us trying to do it all at the same time. No, y'all was doing it all at the same time. Yeah. I was on my own thing.  It's documented. Oh, five. So back to what I was saying, I had another number. Single or wild. Yeah. It was killing me. I was happy to get on that microphone and tell the fans, hey, man, y'all, holla at me, two, eight, one, four, five, five, one, five, eight. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Why y'all was giving out your number? Well, cause some people book and fake my tone shows. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I gotta keep my brand right, so I'm gonna give you my number cause I ain't giving out a business card, hey. Yeah, yeah, I do it. You gotta keep, yeah.  Unique hustle. For sure. Unique hustle. It's a unique hustle. Hey, if somebody is saying anything that's against unique, call us. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes, sir. So what's different than you giving out a business card and I put it out on a song. Yeah, but that's the same thing, really. But that's the same thing. But see, in my era, when no one would know what the thing was, you didn't just, let's see, but the whole thing was though you didn't just do the phone. You did the shirt. You had anything you would represent. You were branding yourself and listen, man. I even look, I say even the drops on music, niggas wasn't dropping. They had that come from that, to me. I'm just being real, like hustle on a beat and all these cats, whether it was Zay Tobin, all that come from marketing strategy. But I never seen nobody do it like that until I seen you do it. Hey, I pay big homage to, because I watched hip hop, bro.  I tried to ask somebody, do you know anybody else that marketed or pushed theyself like this? Nobody else ever did it. Nobody. And you know what's crazy? Nobody.  You know what I'm saying? In the playoffs, you know what I'm saying? But when they won, you know what I'm saying? Just like the week before they lost, you know what I'm saying? It was another Mike Jones that was in the crowd. You know what I'm saying? He asked Lamar Jackson to start playing for the Ravens, quarterback, a question. And when he heard Mike Jones, he went back to the memory of when Mike Jones was doing his thing. So he just started giggling on the mic, saying Mike Jones, it went viral. It's cause you a beast. You did your marketing genius. I'm just saying you got to plant the seed if you wanted to grow, you know what I'm saying? It's like the unique hustle thing. I'm telling you, I've been saying that for what? 14, 15 years, bro. And I always say it's a unique hustle. And they hear me. And I have people to stop me and be like, man, that's the, that's it. It's a unique hustle, man. And it's crazy. I could tell a story. They say it so much that it's now like a way of life. That's the way I put it out there the whole time. So I get it. But I'm telling you, I wasn't doing it for you. No, no, no, no. We're on the cool. Like you say 14, 15 years, we really was around the same time. Same time, same time. But you were. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But the way you was doing it, I guess cause the speaker was loud. Yeah, yeah. And then you got to rhyme. See, I didn't rhyme. I don't know. See, we had the same identical hustle. Okay. We both said we're going to start and put this grind on the floor. And we're going to go every way. My wife going to rap it.  Yeah, yeah, yeah. My brothers. All my partners. Everybody is a unique hustle. It's a unique hustle. That's, you foundationalize that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And everybody, yeah. So we both did the same thing. Same thing. Same thing. You did music. You did music. And I'm hustling business. Yeah. They took the music capsule and then it's on radio. So it just went a little bigger. Killed it. And see, I promise you. If let's say like a fooboo. Or let's say like a carcannot can down here. Yeah, I know that guy. Yeah, I know. You follow him? Yeah, yeah, we rock. Yeah. Okay, now I'm saying unique hustle doing that thing. Let me go ahead and slide him a bone. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's going to make you get so beat. It's going to blow quick. And then you going to do like Mike Jones did. And it's going to be like this. It's going to be on. Boy, you got that bone from carcannot. For sure. Five, six, seven, eight, you took it and ran. And that's all I did. Man, kill. We both had the same hustle, same grind. It's just that. Y'all created a foundation. Yeah. We both created a foundation. We both created one. We both land right here in the foundation. Foundation, correct. Yeah. That's it, man. I'll do the God, man. That's not a question. Uh-oh, talk to him.  You got to get on this mic. Go ahead, man. Okay, you said, what's the difference between giving, what's the difference between giving out a business card compared to putting your number for everyone to get it? Okay. When I give my business card, I give my business card to people who I intend to do business with compared to giving a number out to the whole world. World. That you get, you know, the unwanted calls and stuff like that. And I don't, not sure if you have a lady, but if you have a lady and all these other ladies are calling just because they're trying to get at you, how does she handle it? Man, women think differently. And how do you handle that? They think totally different. Okay, now I'm going to be honest with you. Okay? I love it. First, I'm going to break it down from the money, business side. Then I'm going to come answer you the question from the emotional right, trust side. Definitely, definitely. So from the business side, because you got to keep in mind, I'm coming from the bottom. I didn't have no real foundation. I'm trying to make a foundation. I'm trying to find a way to get people to know who I am, understand who I am, feel who I am. And there ain't no other way for me to really, I'm not finna keep going to spend $3,000, $4,000 every year on cards. Respect. And if I buy 5,000 cards and 2,000, you're throwing away and I'm walking and I'm seeing them. Yeah, I've been there. I've been there. I'm coming out of money.  I can open my mouth and I can say 2-8-1-3-3-0-8-0-0-4. Yes, sir. That cost me nothing.  You know what I'm saying? That cost me nothing. You know what I'm saying? And if I said, you know what? I'm going to put that on every song I do. You want me on the song? You want me on the song? I'm a marketer man. So I'm going to add, you want me on business? 2-8-1-3-3-0-8-0-0-4. That's it. You want to go buy a business card for $2,000, $3,000. I'm saving money on that. Now let me flip on this side. You see what I'm saying?  Yeah, at a point it kind of got a little jealous like that, everybody calling the number. But you know me, you know that I'm not diving into the cloud. It wasn't even cloud at the time. Yeah, no, it wasn't cloud. But I'm not diving into the cloud. I'm not feeding into it.  You know that that's just all insecurity that you got to check. That's it. Because over time, like how y'all been together for a while, we still together. So that was just a rollercoaster of how you was feeling, but you seen that I ain't never jumped out of character to never disrespect none. This is strictly business. I came into it as business. And it is business. Good question. Good question. It's in business. You feel what I'm saying? No, good question. You ain't never been no scandal on Mike Jones. Well, I don't know, Mike Jones at the hotel, I hit him up on the number. He called me, I got screams. You know that. Mike Jones called me on this number, I ain't called. Ain't nobody called me. Ain't no woman in America can tell you that this number was used full gaugely. You feel me? Against any woman disrespectfully. You feel me? This number is for people who call a show love, people who want to book a show, people who want to get a feature 15 years later. Man. So, wait a minute. Hold on, hold on. Hold on. Now, now back to this day. They answer the phone. They answer the phone. See who it is. See who it is. Answer the phone, they see who it is. Yeah, that's good. And when I answer the phone, oh my God, it's Mike Jones. View the phone. Babe, see where they from. That's where they from. There it is. She supported it. She supported it. She supported it. So you all said, so now, when different people call from different states. Look, it's from Mike Jones. All across the American, across the world. Man, I'm in London. I love you, Mike Jones. I love you. I love you. She's like, wow. Real talk. People still calling that number after all this time from all over. How could I still could have had her say, wow, like she feeling and I see it in her face. If I was to stop doing it when she was complaining about it way back then. You know what, baby? You're right. I'm going to just stop doing the number. You're feeling insecure. I don't want you to take that. Ain't nobody going to be calling me 15 years now saying, wow, you're going to be able to say, damn, babe, you did that.  Dang right. The label didn't give me this. No, no, you did that on your own. Sometimes you got to go through turbulence before you land. But let me say something before I forget. Forget that. That was what I was thinking about too. Even before cast, they were highly independent. Really, you already had, you had epitomized that when you was doing that on your own because you was taking it there and nobody could never take that from you. Now I'm going to keep it funky which I'm going to go back all the way. Already. Yeah, you're saying so.  Wow. That's good. That's good. That's going to break it down. That's going to break it down. Everything that came, I'm going to explain. Boom. Y'all, everybody knew who I was with, who I was with. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we knew. I'm trying to come. I'm going to use unique hustle. Man, unique hustle, I got an idea. Yeah, yeah. You know, I want, I think. You trying to help them? I see. I get where you're going. Yeah, me too. Yeah. You trying. Yeah, yeah, I know that happened. We don't even want that on it. We don't even want that on it. Cool. So I said, okay, you know what? I'm going to create my own. That's real. That was God, man. I ain't even tripping. I know what that was. I'm going to create my own. Because he making a lane for you. I'm trying to look out and help out you. That's real. It's already known. I've been helping out unique hustle for at least the first two, three years. Yeah, yeah, I remember. For a quarter million. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. But now I'm coming up with the ideas and we need to come with you. You growing. Y'all, I'm watching y'all stop me. Nah, man. We don't want to hear that. Ain't nobody backing that. Nah, man. We don't want to hear that, man. Ain't nobody backing no Dignified. Wow. Three, four months later, that song was the biggest song. That's it. That's it. That's popping. He know he's a big fan. Look out here. So the reaction that he's doing now is that I had to work through turbulence to get him to do that. Dang. Because I'm trying to show you, in the beginning, my people in the huddle, hey, we going to do blue 52-4. Nah, man, we ain't doing blue 52-4.  Nah, dawg.  It ain't going to work. It's going to work, fam. And you trying to get it. I'm watching the defense. Trying to sell them on. I'm telling you dawg, no. I got to argue with my own. My own, my own. Now, let me stop you. So that's prophetic. That's what I'm saying. When you speaking that, these guys can't see it. It's prophetic because they can't see it. They can't see it. Yeah, but also it shows that it was a vision in you. They couldn't see that. And that was just special for you. Right. But at the same time. And I know you wanted to help everybody because that's what leaders do. They want to help everybody. It ain't just that. You the only one can see it. It ain't just that. It's that we got into an agreement. Okay. So you wanted to take everybody with you. I get it. No, no, boom. So I get, I signed a deal. I get with Unique Hustle. Oh, too. Oh, fine. I'm going to rock Unique Hustle. House talk one on one until it's. It goes off. Yeah. It's where I go. It goes off. Unique Hustle. I'm standing like it's mine. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Definitely. You see what I'm saying? Then I'm coming out here. I'm making play. Hey, man, I just ran across. I just ran across. I just ran across. Yeah. And you putting it out there. They don't respect it. They don't respect it at all. No, it was. I just ran across. John, man. He's trying to sign a nigga to universe from my nigga. You know what I'm saying? He just paid a nigga a bag.

I already had the ingredients. You already working. I'm gonna repeat everything. I'm gonna grind everything. That's why it sounded and it laid out. Like bought a nigga cause I already know when it hit it's gonna. It's gonna do it. Is it like me and him? We got money trained. Yeah, I just seen that. I'm gonna get to that. I'm about to get to that. But I wanted to ask you, I want to stay back just a little bit for one more question. Go ahead now. I'm gonna let him ask a question. Hey, how do you know if you made some money in your, when all the people keep calling your phone? Like it's a business transaction. I mean, you can't catch every drip of water that come out the faucet. That's it. Some of it gonna hit the bottom.  That's it. And we gotta keep in mind, bro, that we didn't make this money. That's it. So we shouldn't be really just forward like that. Yeah. You know what I'm saying?   You know what I'm saying? But we didn't create this money. They did. You see what I'm saying? Yeah. Then we grind for it, but it ain't just know how he gave me that example. I'm not really just on it like that. I know that it ain't mine.  So it ain't mine. You get off the hand. So you feel me? I don't want to take you up for it. I want to hold you back just a little bit just for one more question. And the question I had was about that pulling up, man.  And I wanted to know, because I seen you in the car with him that day. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I seen y'all riding and Bun linked up that night. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'm trying to figure out how was that ride and how was that dealing with PMC that day? That pulling up situation. You know what's crazy? You say that, bro. Man. Right after, I'm going to go back before I go. Okay. I'm going to go forward before I go back. Right? After we did the pulling up video, he jumping his car, jumping mine. Okay. We was going to leave.  Okay. You know what I'm saying? On the way going there, it was a shootout. Okay. We come in this way, where he added the gas station, we come in this way, and it's a shootout coming this way, and the car, thaw, hit pilt. Wow. Then they wrecked it. Wrecked out. You know what I'm saying? Him and the body guard was in there. Yeah, yeah.  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You feel me? I ain't never heard this story. Yeah, because he was really going to go left and then go into the stove. Yeah. On the way going to the Brooke Valentine video shoot.  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I seen the Texas side. We did the shoot in Port Arthur. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? The video shoot was complete. Done. Okay. Mike, you on this song with me too with Brooke, we from the guy on that whoop. Follow me. We finna go get this gas. We finna shoot to the city. Port Arthur the H-time. Yeah. I'm following behind him, jet like this. Boom, wrecked out. Somebody hit him. I seen the car coming down and then the car behind him, the dude was out the window. That, that, that, that, that, that, that.  I'm looking at that. I'm paying attention to that. You feel me? Yeah.  You know, he got confident. Yeah, that's it. Fly. Chill all dial and he cleans. Yeah. He wasn't paying attention. Yeah. To that that was coming down that way. Yeah, yeah. And as he was, you know how when that light turned green, he was kind of like from the turn left, but again kind of turned into that gas station. Yeah. And that's why what he was trying to do it. That first car that was trying to get away just hit him. Wow. And then the other car that was still chasing him kept chasing him. Yeah. I stopped at the light. Yeah.  And that was in Port Arthur? In Port Arthur. Wow. Feel me? Yeah. But good thing we finished the video first. That's why you saw the video. Yeah, but I'm saying that night scene came later with Bumbi. That, that, that, yeah, no, no, this, this scene with Pimp that happened with the crash. With the crash came after the night shoot. Okay.  You're right. That's how I'm trying to get you understand. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I had to go forward before I go back. Definitely. Now I can ask you anything you want to ask me about. Yeah, I just wanted to know how it was riding, talking, just that day. It was all good. It was all smooth, but it got messed up. At the end. On the way going to do Charmille. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If we were all way, it was on the, you know what I'm saying? He was already showing me love, showing me respect. When he got out of prison. I seen it right after that. I was watching the moves. He was showing love doing that. So that's why I was like, I got to show love to OG. So we went and we did that. We was all together. I got pictures. We was all one hundred. Now we was doing that. You're like, they come jump in the whip with me. Now, you know, I just got this here whip from Ken. Yeah. Yeah, he got that whip from Camille. Yeah, I know. I talked to Camille. So I jumped in the whip with him and we was rolling and everything. The kids was chasing us. They was going crazy. I had my job. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I was like, yeah man, they were looking at the chain. That thing will clean to drop tops. Y'all was in. And we were just rolling. You feel me? Yeah, man. We're going to lead up. We're going to lead up to the side. Yeah. We're just going to put like the slide. I had my belly here. Yeah. Yeah. I smashed up the belly. He said, I smashed up the gray one. And bought me a red. Yeah. Every time I hit the parking lot with turkeys. Nobody said that because he smashed the gray one. Damn, I didn't even know that. That's what's up, man. First time hearing. When that day, he had the gray photo Bentley. I had the black photo Bentley. I had to fly in spur. He had to fly in spur. Killed it. Photo. Then he came back with another car. Because that one got wrecked and then they came back. He came back with another car. Man, man. OK, now we feel to get into this money train. Because I want to know about the new, you know, the new movement. I call it a movement because it's different now. You got to pull strong into this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He can get on the mic right there. Bring that black chair. Yeah, we got it. Yeah. That mic ready to go. Yeah, yeah. So the money train, man. I love that. I love that, man.  I got to get it back to it. So what I'm trying to figure out is on a new project, like, how are you guys? I'm going to start off by saying, how are you able to? How are you pushing it?  I respect your market. Man, I'm going to tell you, so I've been giving out things, wards and stuff.  I'm tripping on that. Man, I got to, bro. Because there ain't nobody do that like that, bro. And I mean for this, see, this is a southern hospitality platform. Y'all don't realize that. Because this Dallas, Texas, this is where we at, man. And so we got to make sure that we represent right. This is the other logo. That's when we saw it put on the clothes. That's nice, man. When you do, I want to sum that up in here. I used to do a Power Wilds expensive taste years ago. I always rock with my people, bro. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You don't need some, too. Yeah, he pushed his clothes. That's your shirt right there, actually. He always got something going to try to. Yeah, yeah, yeah, show the cam. You know what I'm saying? Yes, sir. Money train. The thing, money train, first we'll say, how did you come up with that, that whole concept? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, really the whole reason for the concept was really just, I'm seeing that, let's say, if it's a car, a photo car, only four people can go get some money. OK. If it's a two-door car, only two people can go get some money. OK. Feel me, a truck, maybe four, five, six people. But a train, how many people can get on it? How many are you hooking up to it? How many trailers you got on that thing, yeah? It's unlimited. Yeah, yeah. That's why when you look behind, you see the money flying everywhere. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying? I got you. Because everybody is eating. You see what I'm saying? Not only eating, they understand the game, what's going on in the game. Like, for example, let's say, boom, I'm a given example. Let's say like a big Meach, everybody know Big Meach. Yeah, yeah. Let's say he said, hey, Big Meach, I'm doing a deal with Unique Hustle. I need you to go move 30 blocks for me. Yes, sir. You know the number, 30. 30k per one. You thinking, OK, baby, I'm going to do this. I'm going to put my life on the line. Baby, I'll be back, man. You know, hold the keys if I get jammed up. Yeah. But I'm going to come back with at least 15,000 per one. Yes, sir. And then you come back and find out you put your life on the line, made the risk, but now he only want to give you 10%. 3,000 per one. You're like, 3,000, bro, I didn't put my.  Yeah, yeah. Fucked up, right? That's how the music game is. You know what I'm saying? Got you. Anyway, so if you got 100%, the artist is only getting 10%. Wow. The label is getting 90%. And they're taking that 10% that's going to you and taking out the fees, the flights, the expenses. Then they hit you with the advance they gave you.  So, but with on the money train, everybody getting 50, 50. So it's like 40% more quality, equity with us. We putting the money up. We doing everything. My nigga strong on the beach. He going to make sure you season right. But when the money come in, we just going to take back what we put into it. And then after that, we break and break it with everybody else. Yeah. So wait a minute. You just said something. You said strong. You're on the beats. Every one. So he the one you producing the beats. Every track. Really? Yep. And that's what's up, man. So, so how long you been producing? I know by forever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, man, it's a unique hustle. I'll let your boy, man. I got Mike Jones. Hey, money. Yeah. Yeah, money train is in the building. Hey. The producer. Now, man, you were talking. What's that name again? Let's go. Strong On. Strong On. Well, that's a hell of a name. You gotta stand by that. Oh, yeah. You can't just be talking about Strong On. You gotta come on. We been on it. We been on it. So let me ask you about that. How long you been doing beats? And I mean, just talk a little bit about your legacy. Well, I've been doing music for basically my whole life. My pops was in music. OK. Yeah, he started out doing music. So I grew up in the studio and stuff with him. OK. And I really just started taking serious, probably like in, I say, I was probably like in high school. OK, yeah, yeah. And just fooling around with local rappers. I'm from Mississippi, you know, Jacksonville. Oh, really? Yup, yup, yup. Do you know that sound thing, seriously, when I keep saying it? Oh, yeah, oh, yeah. So I'm from the mother of the sound. I'm just, hey, I don't even know nothing else. Hell, yeah, oh, yeah. Gotcha. So I play instruments.  Yeah.  So, yup, it's always around music. Always around music, man. So I mean, I know a lot of people that be wanting to work and I'm going to be hitting y'all up because dudes be, you know, they be wanting to spend. They be like, hey, man, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm going to make a show, man. But how did you guys come together? It was a guy on a money train named Young Deuce. OK. Yup. And he did some stuff for him. And him and Mike linked up and heard some tracks and did. Really hard to be, to overview really where it was, is I had came to Dallas because I always be out here. Yeah, yeah, I heard about you a long time. I said, my boy, here, here's somewhere. I said, he in the city.  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. I'll take it, yeah. Ozarka water. It's like Ozarka, you know what I'm saying?  Everybody know about it. Yeah, everybody know about it. He out here all the time in Dallas. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's why I got to sing the song for me back then. So, when I was coming out here and I'm like, man, I'm finna get this train going. I'm finna, you feel me? Because I'm taking all the money that's coming from Ice Age and putting it on the money train and then power my people.  That's why a lot of artists is quitting and not want to be at a reunion. OK, I get it. Now, why you don't see a lot of artists going to the bad boy reunion, OK? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That 10% is just killing them. When the other person make it 90%. Yeah, not a good thing. So when you even it up and show that what happened is yeah. So that's why the train is serious. That's why it's really been moving. So I went with my boy Thor at the time and him putting something together, and he took me to Dewspot and Dewspot.  You see different, just like back then, you see different. You don't already seen so many hurdles that people had to climb. So when you look and you like, nah, we can't do it that way. We got to do it this way because I've seen this and this. And I think that part right there got to be expressed. You got to acknowledge that because you just get more precise with your moves, right? I think the hindsight and I bring them all in my business to let them see how it goes and I can learn from it and to know not to do it like that. He pulled up on me. And Mr. Sid, yeah. Man, this guy here's so male. It seemed like everybody, he just organically moves, man.  He take me to Dewspot. We going to Dewspot. I'm telling Dewspot, man, we need to find a producer and that's gonna be with us like a man in fresh. Like how, you know what I'm saying? Cairn Money did this thing. Every track was with Manning, one producer, set up shop, that's what we need. You know what I'm saying? Already. He was sending me different ones here, here and here. And he was like, man, you know, I got my cousin. You know what I'm saying? That's in the silk, you know what I'm saying? And I was like, man, let me, let me hear the tracks. Yes, sir. So I'm in the first two, it was over, I was like, aw, man. Can't see if we can change this, if we can move this. They sell. One in the studio did the headlight, it was over. So I dropped the track.   Yeah. I'm gonna come out here and peep it out and see what's going on. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. He been here 100, you know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? And everything just been getting right. Crazy. I like it, man. I like it because it's organic. Oh yeah. I'm tripping because that's the whole game. Do we talk that all the time? Like, cause that's why I sell authentic clothes. I can't be, it's organic, it gotta be right. It lasts forever. That's why that Mike Jones thing stick because it's real. All the face stuff move out the way, the real stuff remain. So the thing, I was going, oh, we gotta do the top three. I do a thing where I call it the top three artists, right? I need to know. And I need to know the top, your top three artists of all times, dead or alive. I don't lie. Dead or alive? I have to say number one, I have to give it to Big Poppin. Who was that? Big Poppin. Notorious. Really? Say, man. Man, you better, hey man. Let me tell you why. Oh no man, I'm trying, I'm just selling hospitality. You asked me my three. And that's what everybody's saying. So listen, I'm gonna tell you why because sometimes people can look at stuff as lyrics. He had lyrics. You knew he was cold. Yeah, he had lyrics.  I get it. I stay Gucci down to the socks. Yo, come on now, I'll tell my, I'll tell my like juice. I can't debate it. I'll tell my juicy. I can't debate it. I'll tell my juicy. Come on now. So why you debating what I'm saying?

So I don't want to do what you want. I get it, I get it. I'm gonna go straight to the top for you. Okay, okay. Yeah, I like to go straight in. I got it. No one biggie. Yeah. And why is number one? Because he wasn't perceptionally how it was supposed to be coming into the game. Okay. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. And I gotta remember where we at. Yeah.  Yeah. Influential, lyrical. Okay.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Digital underground. Two apocalypse now. I remember everything when he was starting out. He had a dream to become that. Biggie was just baby, baby, baby. Yeah, yeah.

Listen, man. No, no, no, it's respect, bro. Yeah. But who you got at number two? You got me worried. But listen, listen, listen to me.

I just know, now if we in Houston only, I got my own top 10, my top five. Okay, okay. So you categorize it different? I'm categorizing, okay, okay. You can't name me five people from where I'm from that really took over the world. Are you right? So why would I? I can't even, I can't lie. In my top three, if you gonna make me go there. I get it. No, you went there. So, so, so, so, so. I get it. So, I gotta break it down. You're right, you're right. I got legends. If you saying, man, what's the top five songs out of H-time, nigga, my whole list different. Yeah, mind you. Because I'm Zoned In. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What? The songs that changed the community. Yeah, but you saying hit the universe. Where you go to any country and you hear their name, right? Yeah, I'm talking about world wide. I get it, I get it. I can't, I can't. What's the thing that happened when Jay-Z did a big pippin' with, with, with, with, with, with, with UGK? Oh yeah, it took it, it took it there. It took who there? It took UGK all the way to the dog. So, it was all available that it was New York and New York, New York, everything. And they weren't speaking the South. Yeah, yeah. I'm sure you could have come through and show that look. It was real. Come on, now, who playing, dawg? It was real. I can't, I can't even, I can't even knock it. I'm talking about barriers being knocked down. You talking about awful perception. Yeah.

That's one nationwide, worldwide.  That, that pretty much, that I get it. I get it. That's that's how. So when I'm making my decision and see the number four, I want to put 50. I want to put 50, the 50 cent of Jauru, one of them two. I can't even give a strong one of them two. You feel what I'm saying? Yeah. It's one of them two. Yeah. For the number four, what you told me? Top three. Top three. That's all I need. But you said, I said, why this going on? What you saying? Yeah. Influential. Touching. When you say they name, no matter what country. I ain't done what he said. I did say all the time. Dead or alive. So if I, if I name a person from Houston and you do not know them. It's going to be like, how could they be some of all time? Yeah, yeah. How could they be some of all time? Man, I, I'm done with you. I can't mess with you. I can't mess with it, man. You juice it. I'm going to, yeah, that's my favorite song.

In the time, the way that's given, yeah. All time. All time. Respect. I had to respect it.  Well, life after death, did diamond again. Yeah. But life after death, that went out to pass. He did diamond when he was alive and did diamond when he died. Yeah. What you trying to say? Yeah, I can't, I can't even debate it. You need hustle. You need hustle. What was what was solidified organic and official for 10 years when he go it's 30 years after that. He's still official. That's it. You know, hold on your name for the 15 years. Say man, say that's the top three. You know, he saw diamond before he died. Love it. Love it. I can't even, I can't even fling. No play. Pop. Pop did them to me. And when he died, the other one did them to me. That's why they was the biggest iconic. Yeah. See, I shouldn't even took him now because he gone. He, he know, he love it. That's the F from the heart, man. That top three from the heart, baby. It was so iconic a deal when one person get murdered and the other person get murdered. So I'm like, we in soap opera now. How can you give me or ask me to give you a top three and don't mention them to the purpose? You killed it. I killed it. I love you. I love your energy. Love the way you came with that. Hey, man, we can't do this.  Already, we learned.  Oh, it's a lot of stuff that's going on when the conversation arrives. We know that the older cats, they know. OK, we can't do it like that because we know what happened. And then you know why I say jigger number, number, number two. Yeah. Look at what's going on. See fabulous Rockefeller chain. Don't you see me meal. Rocker, they're still moving. Don't you. So we got it. Rock nation. They still move out.  So the man showed you school, high school, college. Yeah.  Now I'm falling back. I put Kanye on. Kanye, Kanye, he making waves now. It was the next biggest thing. Yeah, yeah. But you know, they helped with that, too. Now, you know, the perception of it was a perception of but but it was it was it was a force.  He won't know just no mogul when it came to pushing his brand like that. He had people that helped him with that. Yeah, he had a team and that team was what pushed. And then he took it to the next level. So I get it. But the difference of it, though, is this real quick. The difference of it real quick is this, though, his team blew it up and they eventually destructed it up. Yeah. You feel me? Yeah. One person want to go into jail?  Blew up. Yeah, I get it. I get two different way to different way. But a lot, a lot, a lot of talent in all the different under all the different umbrellas. Lot of different talents. So what's to come? What's what's OK? The next project money train. When is any anything? Can we look forward to anything coming? We got Guap season. Guap season. Guap season is on the way and we call it Guap season because everybody love the fact that they make money, pay their taxes. But you love when you get that Guap. That's on the table. You love when you get that Guap. You know that Guap, that's, you know. Yeah, yeah. So Guap. So do you think that, do you think like, how are you guys moving during the pandemic or how are you guys going to be able to press that out into the, you know, the masses? I know through, through, through, you know. Yeah, streaming. Streaming. We know that. But the thing is, the shows and all that stuff kind of slowed down. Everything kind of. We got to show them more. I know you told me that. How do you, well, I'm going to go there. You got to put it together. The money train and everybody else because we got equity. So if, even if the shows don't come, we can still eat. The clothes, everything. We're going to check from the label. Okay. You know, we don't sell another shirt. We don't sell another record. Another, we still get paid from equity from where we already did. Already did. That's what's up. All the new orders that's in it now. When the show's done. That's that 10%. As merchandise as they doing, they don't own it all. They just win it. They just win it. Yeah. And you know, I know plays matching. They're going to put it. Yeah. They getting 10%. And they don't even want to wear it no more. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I get it. They don't even want to wear it no more. Don't get it.    You know, that's what I wanted because I'm an old school cat. I'd be wanting to bring because people want to hear that. You know, it's a lot of people that want to hear the story about what Mike did. Mike Jones did things that a lot of cats will never do and still hadn't epitomized on. So respect, man, love the brand. Love the way it's going. Money train. Hey, it's going down. Definitely when the when the merch come out, I'm going to be like, man, why don't have it in the store? I'm going to go on Boss Talk and go live it. Mike Jones, where is the product? And we also got Mike Jones. Oh, gee, on the way. Oh, that's what I was thinking about that. I need that now. So how you got you're going to do it in Cali? You can swipe, too. Are you are you doing it in Cali? Or are you doing it in Oklahoma? How are you doing it? Our plug is in what Arizona? Correct. Phoenix. Because it's hidden everywhere else around. But it's going to be global. So I'm going to let you I'm going to let I'm a player and let you hear him. OK. Tell you what the goal is. OK. I'm saying because I say, man, I need some of it.

We're going to get certain strains. We're going to make it pop. We want it to go right here. This is the cross. This is the 99 DJ Blueberry throwback. Wow. And then we got a Mexican in a cascup. Now it's a piece. I need a sample. Yeah. Yeah. Serious about it. Serious about it. So let me ask you this. Packages. How do you how do you? Because I got to ask you this. How do you because you got to be at a hustle every which way. Right. And I know how you did it a long time ago. Now today like to deal with crossing over into the hat. Crossing over into whatever whether it be the clothing or you try or do you have to. Because these are named different. They marketed different. Okay. So how do you bring them all under the same umbrella and push them at the same time? Maybe because that's what you did before. Right. So let me let me break it down to you. Any bonnix. So you can really understand. Yes, sir. I'm going to give you a scenario so you can understand. Back in 0304 in that prime era. I know we're not in that era. Correct. Definitely not. But since I invested in bitcoins back then. Yeah. I'm a millionaire plus now. Yes sir. Yes sir. Yeah. And we still getting paid from the investment of bitcoin that we invested in way back then. Yeah. Even though it's only in 2020. Correct. 15 years later. Yes sir. So the moves that we move on we don't have to move desperately to get a show. To do a show. That's just extra guap. Oh just right. Because the investment already paid off itself. I like it. I like it. And listen.  I know. We was doing it from the Trump. There was no such things as streaming. Yeah. But it was something called back then getting a half a billion plays. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So we got paid from that. So when it all of a sudden became streaming our music all of a sudden got dumped into streaming and that's a new source of income. For sure. So these new artists they're not seeing the royalties that we see every six months because they signed it away. The label get 90%. They get 10% translation. If he go platinum 10 million sold off an album. Nine million going to the label. One million going to him. And before he get that one million or we gave you a million dollar advance you ain't getting this one million. Oh we paid 200,000 for the recording for the flights and bringing unique all that, all that. Yeah. You in the whole 300,000. Wow. With a platinum album. With a platinum album. Meanwhile, I don't get 65% or 100%. Yeah. So even though we in 15 years later I don't got to do nothing now because they still paying me from the percentage that were laid down from the Bitcoin that was invested back then. That's a smart investor. So I'm making sure that as I do it for the new people, we able to say it's 50-50. Yeah. And now y'all got to take it to another level and invest it properly. Like he did. Right? That's why I'm showing them my father. That's right. Let me ask you one more thing because we're going to shut it down in a minute. For that kid or for that teenager out there that's trying to get his foot in the dough in the rap game right now. What could you tell him to help him to get there? Anything encouraging? Because I know everything. I mean for one I tell him to listen to my words watch us because everybody watch me but I really want him to watch him. It's just like when we was outside my boy, you know what I'm saying? Shout out to the camera. Yeah, that's the dentist man. No, no, no, give him the plug. What's that? Superman. Superman. Superman. We was out there chilling and it's all organic. I ain't saying he had to know. No, no, no. It's just chilling. Everything was just organic but when he hit the light to him to super who strong was I didn't say oh and he zoomed in. That's him. That's why he shoot you to the death. Once you get knowledge once you get knowledge the whole mind chain you can not have knowledge and still move naively and dumb. I ain't saying anything but I'm just saying first we'll over get the game. I got the game that Jay-Z over there and such and such over there and I'm still gonna act like I'm over here I'm tripping, ain't it? I'm finna go over there make myself seen, respected and make that path cross. So what you're saying just watch the moves that you guys are doing and kind of P-game play line. You know what I'm saying? That's what the youngster would have to do. I think that's about it. Did I miss anything? I don't think you missed anything. Everything. Cause we went in. He went in. I love him. Love him. Beautiful movement man. Like I said boss talk, hey man this one here man this one for the records. The people gotta watch this ain't about watching me it's about what I'ma lay down.
