All righty, there is sound here. Let's watch this in full first Looking at this let me just quickly check something You have movement through here. It's for the biggest. I feel like we can Reframe and actually it will be a bit more I like that so she's a bit more in the third somewhere maybe around here in my awesome scribbles Something like that because if you go through she doesn't really break from that box Although I do have comments about that so to me I would kind of maybe reframe a bit closer just because so we can see the awesomeness There's so much negative space. I don't think we quite need but the other thing is I had created a website with as many problems I kill myself That woman here I like that she has that reaction Right after questions goods and immediate thing where she listens. Yeah, I have a lot of questions number one How dare you? Now so the only thing will be is that she is constantly in that box And I think the biggest thing and now this is will be very Destructive note in terms of you reworking this but I do want to throw that out there Now what if I had created a website with as many problems. I'd kill myself If I had created her and she is It's okay straight up there because she is typing if I had created a Which I think that I is a bit much in how much he opens him out there I had created a website with as many problems. I think that is great. I'd kill myself Do you have a question Kelly? Maybe the moment will be for here. Yeah, I have a lot of questions when she does that even on this She would already start to kind of Lean over to have a bigger attitude Questions number one.  I know I'm thinking out loud. It's not very exciting to watch but I'm thinking is there anything Because there has so many good moments here with this That and then getting into this and I'm wondering if there's anything we can do to spice up that ending That's basically the summary Of my thoughts right now. I have a lot of questions number one Because I do like that a lot, but then then it kind of gets into Acting out words. I know she says number one and she wants to count But that doesn't just feel like she says how dare you right, but it's the movement is towards us Either I would go even further into something or How dare you you know where she's like She looks away and she's kind of annoyed. I know I feel like there's something at the end That I was gonna say that we can push we as a new Since I'm not doing anything But that's that's the biggest note here. I know you're asking for polish stuff But this would be something I wanted to throw out there What your thoughts are on potentially changing the ending if I had created a website with If I had created a website with this money if I had created a website with It's nice to have a little bit of right through there. She really comes to full stop And I'll give this a bit more of a moving hold right through when that Move dies just a bit. There's a little bit to the left. I would put just a bit stronger up into the left And I'd be stronger meaning like five ten percent really tiny if I had created a web Just has a slight feel of locking created a website with as many problems. I do love the rhythm Her going up there.  Problems I'd kill myself Watch out this moment Feels a bit strange if I'm looking just at this section It just kind of travels and translates over it feels like here's a controller And you translate that over where it's not A rotation It feels just really Broken through there Tell myself Do you have a question? I do love this The change here you got your hand pose changing into that and then relaxing a bit and changing that for polish. It's great I think if all for this we can go even a bit lower again just a couple pixels Where it would just give her it's a fine line between picked up between sleepy And annoyed, but I think we can go just a bit lower on those lids Do you have a question Kelly? Yeah, I have a lot of Question Kelly? Yeah, I will Okay, I love that a little over there. It's just a bit. Yeah, I have a lot of questions Same thing here. It's got the beginning It feels like you're Moving over that and it comes to a fairly quick stop not that it's completely frozen this time But I would just have a little bit more with two frames a bit of a soft ease in As you go down here, we can almost do something like that Not super super archy, but just a bit more. Yeah, I have a lot of questions Yeah, I have a lot of questions. Number Again, lots of great stuff here Yeah, I don't know I think to me this is is looking really good as I'm getting there. It just feels like the quality of all of this The looks here And it's the body movement. I even like this here. That's like twists and the wrist. It just starts Here's the bummer. I don't to me feels like that could just be stronger And a potentially different ending so I'm gonna leave it at that instead of rambling I think this is all working really well. You have really Nice polish and details. How dare you if you keep this and how dare you Then I would the only thing I would say Is locking As much as I talk about softening the holds here, I would I would hold it stronger and have less of a recovery here How dare you? Because if she's that she's not super upset, but so she says how dare you I will keep her body a bit more tense And that relaxation here as she goes back with that whole head move, especially the shoulders Kind of softens that I would I would tighten that up a bit Yeah here too where It's good that you have that arc there But watch out it comes again to a bit of a hard stop, but you're moving also straight away from camera Which gives it a bit of a weird ik translate back, but also doesn't finish that arc So if you keep this then I would just give it a little bit of an overshoot there Into a nice arc, but I did not go back as much again. I would tighten that up a bit for tension If I had created a website with this many problems, I'd kill myself. Do you have a question Kelly? Yeah, I have a lot of questions Number one, how dare you yeah going through I don't I'm gonna stop rambling and you watching me Silently watching here. So this is great. Um, just thoughts. Let me know you can email But the ending if you want to keep going or change it brainstorm some stuff, but that is that all right. Thanks All right, there's an email you can sign up you can start whenever you want you can submit whatever you want You get 16 submissions either way a like and subscribe would be awesome. All right. Thank you


Hey everybody, welcome to Waldoch Way. I'm Jessica. Today's video, we are going to be chatting about how to plan your home school year. I'm going to tell you my steps. I'm gonna take you through them one at a time. Everything that I do to plan my year, why I only do this and nothing more. And I am going to be sharing a freebie that you all have been asking for for a long time. So get yourself a drink, get cozy and let's chat planning. All right, so step one of my home school planning is to start with our goals. How do I know what I want out of the home school year if I don't know what I want out of the home school year? So the first thing I do is I start with whatever I want her to achieve by the end of that year. Now we are curriculum dabblers and resource users. We do not use a box curriculum. We do not use anything from like lesson one to lesson 180. And because of that, I kind of need to know what I want her to achieve. So that I can make sure we're achieving it.  I go through a books like home learning year by year as well as the core knowledge, what your whatever grader needs to know books. I go through our stay standards and some other things. And I will make a list of what I want to see her accomplish in that upcoming school year. So for instance, for fourth grade, I know for a fact that I want to make sure that she is experimenting more with writing different styles and different types of writing. And so I have written those out. I want her to be able to write letters. I want her to be able to write reports. I want her to be able to, you know, write different styles of writing. So those are things that I have written out for her for goals that I want us to make. And that's where I start because unless I have those goals, none of the rest of these will really work. Now I've had a lot of you ask me over the years if I would share our goals with you. And I would love to do that. The problem with that is much like any homeschool kid Emily is not like a fourth grader straight across the board. So she is ahead in all things language and a little, I'm not gonna say behind, but not quite as far ahead in all things math. So while I absolutely love these books, like love, love, love, I find I am normally pulling the language from one year and the math from another. And that is totally okay. Every homeschooler, every kiddo is right where they need to be. And we just need to be able to accept that and, you know, accommodate them. So what I have done instead is I have created a grade level skill checklist free before you. So you can grab these. I will put the link to these in the description box. And it goes through preschool through high school. High school is more of just an idea, but preschool through eighth grade and tells you exactly the skills that they should know or that, you know, you might want them to know for language arts and math. And then I have also included a blank checklist which is what I will be using this year where you can actually fill in. So if you have a kid like Emily who is going to be, you know, maybe language from one grade and math from the other, you can go ahead and fill in whatever fits them. And I say that because if you have a preschooler and you're looking through the preschool list and you're like, okay, it recognizes names and primary colors check, matches shapes and objects check. Maybe you only have two things off of the preschool list. Well, write those down and then go to the next list, right? And just do that so that you're constantly progressing in your homeschool and you constantly have something to work towards. The reason I do this is because it allows me to use things other than curriculum. It allows me to use games, hands on resources, subscription boxes, books, all of these things that we use in our homeschool anyway. And it allows me to check off those goals that I have for her. So for instance, let me give you an example here. For fourth grade, one of the things here is identify the main events of the plot and discuss character traits and motivations. Now, I could totally use a curriculum for that or we could just use read alouds. And because I know that's a goal as we're reading aloud, I could say, hey, what are the main events of this book? What's the plot? Who are the main characters? Let's talk about their traits. And we could just have a natural discussion over a read aloud we're already doing without me having to have a curriculum or worksheets or something that she's gonna fight me on. So I can make that a lot easier for her. And I'm hoping that these checklists will do that for you because it will give you that peace of mind as a homeschool mom to know that you're getting to what you need to be getting to, but also knowing that you can homeschool with the freedom of not necessarily needing something that maybe your kid doesn't love. Not that your kid has to love everything, but it does make homeschooling a little bit easier. So anyway, that is my step one. My step one is to write down our goals for the homeschool year. I mainly only write down our language arts and math goals and then I will have a kind of like chat with Emily. Do you know any topics you would like to learn about this year? So she'll give me a list of topics that she would like to learn about and then I'll start kind of exploring those. And by exploring, I mean gently. Like I only do one. So I know for sure we're doing an astronomy unit when the school starts back, but that's it. All the rest of her ideas are written down as ideas. I am not diving deep into those because well, they could change at any minute. Step two, now that I have my goals, we sit down as a family and we pick our one thing. Now every school year for as long as I can remember, I got the idea from Abby rooted in rest. We pick one thing and that one thing is something that we want to focus on. Either we want to focus on making it a habit in our homeschool or we want to focus on doing it more in our homeschool. So some of the things that we've picked over the course of our homeschool journey has been read aloud and the year that we picked out we got really good at it. And what you'll find if you pick one thing is that it finds a way of weaving itself into your homeschool so that the next year, it's kind of become a habit, right? It's got its place. It's found its own little way to fit in. So then when you add another one thing, you're just finding a way to do that on top of it. It's not like you're doing away with the thing from the year before. So read alouds became a staple. And then the next year I picked games. I wanted gameschooling to become an important part of our homeschool so we make those a priority. I make that one thing, the thing that we really focus on. Like not that nothing else matters but we really try hard to work towards that one thing. We've done nature study, we've done art. We've just done a ton of things, poetry, tea time one year. And that was probably one of our favorite years because we did a lot of poetry, tea times. And then they found their natural place in our homeschool. Well this year, I'm gonna go ahead and tell you guys, our one thing is experiences or field trips. Not that we didn't have a place for those before but after almost two years of being stuck in our house and not being able to do any experiences or field trip, we have noticed that that is the one thing that is missing in our homeschool. We love them and enjoyed them and depended on them so much more than we realized. So we unanimously, when I asked, hey guys, what are we gonna do for our one thing? We unanimously agreed going places, doing things, field trips, experiences and that was hands down going to be our priority this year. So get ready for a ton of learning on location videos because we are going to be going, going, going all year long. Step three, so now that I have our goals set, now that I know what our one thing is, I inventory the shelves. So I go through, I don't do anything other than inventory. I go through based off of my goals and I look at our game shelves and our book shelves and the storage shelves in my homeschool office and I'm like, okay, here are my goals. Do I have resources on hand to meet these goals? Cause if we're not gonna necessarily use a specific curriculum for each of it, I need to make sure we have resources. Some of it might be curriculum, some of it might be games, some of it might be books but I need to have things to teach it, things to help her learn it. So I just go through, okay, do we have resources for this? These were some of the things she was interested in or the most interested in. Do we have resources for this? And I just inventory what we have, what I have to work with. And then that also kind of rolls me in to step four, which is making a list of the things that I don't have resources for so that I can use this prime time to shop for them because we have back to school sales, we have prime day, we have the buy to get the third free at Target and Amazon. I mean, this is just the best time to get the best deals. So I inventory first, make a list of the things that we necessarily don't have anything to cover or things I feel like are lacking and then I start shopping those sales. So that's step three and four combined. And obviously that is why you have seen so many halls this summer because I have been able to share those with you, which I haven't done in years before because I didn't know how much you guys love them, but I've been sharing all those things as they've been rolling in. So okay, here's some of the things that I got for this. So you guys know writing is a priority because I got a lot of things for that and I want us to start focusing on all operations of math because I got a lot of games for that. So you can kind of see where I want to work with Emily just based off of the resources that we've already brought into our home school because those are the things that I know will be helpful. We also sit down while we're talking about resources and we discuss our subscription boxes and subscription letters. Which ones do we get? Which ones do we like? Which ones do we want to continue? Which ones do we want to add based off of things that we know we're going to be doing in our home school or focusing on? And so for instance, Kevin has already decided he wants to add a few, which I will be sharing with you soon, but he wants to age some of them up as he's teaching to her. So he's chosen a few different ones to add this year. So that's part of that process too. Inventory on what's on the home school shelves and then finding resources that are gonna help us and aid us in homeschooling the next year. And then steps three and four brings us to step five. So we have inventoryed the shelves, we have bought a ton of new resources and now it is time to purge the old resources because where on earth are we going to put all of the new stuff that we purchased? And if you have watched my hauls and you have seen our office and homeschool room tour, you know we are at maximum capacity. So it is time to purge. Now this I will say is the one time that homeschooling an only child is easier because I don't have to hold on to anything that's below her. I don't have siblings or other children that are gonna move into that. So anything that I'm like, okay, she's passed this, I can just set it aside. For instance, some swamp. Love it, but she's passed that. I can just get rid of that game. I don't have to hold on to it for younger kiddos. So if you are a multi-child homeschool, I will say that is probably something that is more difficult because you have to hold on to stuff for younger kids and find a way to grow with your older kids. And I don't envy that because I like my resources. I like having a tons of things on hand to teach her. But we are definitely at maximum capacity. So the next thing we're gonna have to do is purge. Now we have not done this step yet. This is the step that we are currently at in our homeschool planning. I have already made our goals. I have already inventoried. I have already purchased. I have not purged yet. And I am not looking forward to it, but it is necessary or else. I'm not gonna have anywhere to put everything. So that is the step I'm currently at. And I definitely recommend you doing it before the school year starts so that you have the peace of mind of this clean, clear space, whether it's a closet, whether it's your dining room, an actual homeschool room, your office, wherever it is. If it's clean and tidy, it will make you feel better. Step six, and the kind of a last step that I do is I look at our routine. Our routine from the previous years. And I evaluate whether that routine is still going to work going into this next homeschool year. Now I say routine because we do not do a schedule. We are not schedule people. We have a flow to our days. And our flow kind of just starts whenever we start. So whether we wake up at 10 o'clock in the morning or 2 p.m. in the afternoon, we just flow to the next thing. We wake up, we do our morning, we have a slow start to our days, always a slow start. And then we do our morning basket and then we move to table time and then we do a learning lunch and then we have an afternoon activity. So that's kind of what our day looks like in the past. And I'll explain each of those things. So we have a very slow start. I tend to strew something in the mornings so that Emily will wake up and explore or discover and well, leave me alone because I'm not a morning person. So I will leave something out for her. Sometimes she engages with it. Sometimes she chooses to do something else, but I try to leave something out for her to do while I am waking up, caffeinating and becoming a human. And then one time a human, we roll into our morning time. Morning time is sometimes just me and her. Sometimes it's me, her and Kevin. And we just sit on the couches and start going through our morning basket a little bit at a time. We almost always will read aloud while she's doing something with her hands.  Now, this past year, we would take our game to the table so that our game at the end of morning basket easily rolled into table time because we were already at the table. And now our table time is anything that requires more like full focus, things that require her to write, things that require me to teach, lesson type of things. Sometimes it's just playing a game, but it's things that require us to be sitting at a table to do them. So writing for a unit study, playing a game for language arts, doing teaching textbooks for math, things like that. Anything that needs to be done at a table. And I call it table time, even though sometimes it happens anywhere, but a table, it can be outside in the car, et cetera, but we just kind of always call it table time. It's more of our structured learning. And then after that we would have a learning lunch and that is when everybody goes through separate corners because well, when you are a family that works at home and you're together 24 seven, you need a break. So we will all either put in, put on our headphones, we will watch a show, we will listen to podcasts, listen to audio books. Emily will sometimes do her own thing completely and she'll listen to an audio book or watch a show of her own while we do something else. We'll do chores, we'll catch up on things, whatever we need to do, but it's completely separate, our own alone time. And she normally does some sort of learning. So like I said, audio book, podcast, educational show, documentary type thing. And then we would move into an afternoon activity. Our afternoon activities could be poetry, tea time and nature walk, playing games as a family, a movie night, I mean, afternoon classes, if she had like an online class, it could kind of just be any sort of activity. Now I will say, while I haven't completely evaluated this year from start to finish, I do know that we are probably going to shift things a little bit. I have a feeling our table time is going to shift until after lunch. I think we're gonna flip flop those two because as we have the freedom and our nights are getting later and later and as Emily's getting older and sleeping a little bit longer, I think that's just gonna be necessary. We haven't sat down and talked about it. Like I said, we haven't got to that step yet, but I do think that's what we're gonna do. I think our routine or our flow is going to end up becoming a slow start to our days, morning basket, lunch, table time and then our afternoon activity, afternoon slash evening activity. We will see, I will keep you guys updated but that's kind of what I'm expecting to happen is that it flows a little differently. It's kind of flip flop. But for the most part, we still get to those major categories no matter what order they're happening in. Now this is pretty much all of the planning that I do at the back to school year. Like this is it. This is what I do to get us ready. I don't plan any more than this because if I do plan more than this and ask me how I know this is gonna happen, we are going to scrap it. Either she is going to take off like a rocket and learn three quarters of the goals that I made or three quarters of the things that I had set for us or she's gonna change her mind on what she's interested in or a life is gonna happen, this amazing experience or field triple pop-up that we can take, something is going to come up to throw a wrench in my plans. So this is it. These are the steps that I make. This is what I plan for back to school. This is it. Now I have a pretty good idea of what the start of our school year is gonna look like in my head. Like I'm kind of like, okay, these are the things that we're probably gonna do but I don't write them down and I don't make any plans for them because again, anything can happen to throw a wrench in that. So what I do is I just keep those in my head, keep kind of a running list of things that I think we're gonna do and that's it. This is all I do. Now I will say that this year I'm hoping to come on here every term, quarter, semester, whatever word you wanna use to keep you more updated in real time of what's going on in our home school. So normally in years past I've done a, like beginning of our school year curriculum choices, mid year update and end of the year update. This year I'm hoping to come on every six to 12 weeks to tell you guys this is what's going on, this is what's working, this is what's not working, this is what I'm planning to do, these are the classes we're taking, this is the resources we're using, et cetera because I want you to see kind of more in real time what we're doing versus me giving you this big broad plan of what I hope we'll do and then it's not getting to it. I'm a little tired of doing that with you guys. So you're gonna get a much more realistic look, little by little into our home school this year and I hope that that is something you'll enjoy. Now I would love it if you would leave your steps for planning your home school year in the comments. We all home school just a little bit differently, we all plan just a little bit differently and your steps may help somebody out. So please leave your steps to planning your home school in the comments and don't forget to head over to the link in the description box if you think it would be helpful to grab your free grade level checklist to help out with your planning this year.


across the board. Hey y'all, Dustin here. We are live. This is your Maximize Your Keytons. How do you maximize your journey? I'm very excited about it. This is the most platforms we've ever been on before. So we got Instagram, Facebook, Facebook, Facebook, Zoom, TikTok, we're going global and YouTube. I forgot about YouTube, y'all. So I'm super excited about tonight.  I want you to bring the questions because at the end of the day, it's about your getting results. I'm gonna tell you a little story. First off, I'm gonna talk about myself in a second. Hold tight, hold tight. I'm gonna mention some things here in just a couple seconds here. But here's the reality is that if people don't get better results, if you don't get the results you're looking for, you tend to quit. And if you quit, you're never gonna get to where you ultimately wanna be. So what I can tell you is that it's usually just a little adjustment you have to make. I'm gonna tell a story about a call I got earlier. Her name is Summer. Summer, if you're on, give us a little love, give us a little shout out. I met Summer back in September. When I met Summer, she was not in a good place in her health. She was not in a good place where she wanted to go. And she found me on TikTok and she hit me up and it was interesting is if you meet Summer, Summer's like she's super ambitious. You know she's got it, if that makes sense. She has this it factor about herself that just truly inspiring. But yet at the same time, she had two amazing children at home, a husband that his health wasn't optimal either. And they were just looking for better. She was on, I think kind of like disability. She was going through some challenges at the time. And I got a call from her earlier today and it was just quite remarkable because she put the work in and was her results a straight line? Did she have like success every single day? No. She called me around, probably around January and she's like, you know, not losing weight fast enough. She, keep in mind, she made a transformation. If you saw her before in Better Picture, which I don't have one on here, Summer, I need one. I was looking at your early pictures early on and you look remarkable. She looked so good. Her life and her body was transforming. And here's the reality was we're interesting about her journey is it's never fast enough. It's never perfect enough. There's always gonna be obstacles, but there's always gonna be lessons in learning through those obstacles. You just have to be willing to learn. I use this example. If a million people got a great result for something and you didn't, instead of saying it didn't work for you, say what in me is different than those others and what can I do better? And I know that's not always easy to do. It's sometimes it's easier to say, well, it didn't work for me so you don't have to figure out maybe what you can get better at. And this is just me from the bottom of my heart because seeing summer story and seeing where she's came in the last nine months, it's groundbreaking and it's life-changing. And I wouldn't want anybody to come up short of that because I truly believe this is the path that can change your life. And it is so, so amazing. I'm gonna tell you one more story because we're gonna talk about how to maximize this. I want you to bring the heat. I want you to bring the questions you have. We have Australia that just jumped on. What's up, Jenna? Why are you so hyper? I literally just ran back from a baseball game. I was at the hospital with my kids getting injections, coming to a game and then I'm here. So why am I so hyper? I'm actually really excited. My sister called me and my sister is one of those people that it took her eight weeks to get a result. True story. And I heard it for eight weeks. It's not working for me, this isn't working. Now my sister has a past. She has a history. She has some health challenges that she's had to overcome. And my sister called me today and she goes, you're not gonna believe it. And she was more hyper than I am right now.  And he goes, he's 70 year old doctor. So he's seen a lot of colons, right? And he goes, he was so excited. He goes, I haven't seen anybody in their fifties that look so healthy and so good. And she just started her journey five and a half years ago and she's just been doing it longer. That's not me. But I gotta meet somebody out here. Hey, Peg. But here's the reality is that she could have stopped at any time. She could have said it didn't work for her, but she didn't. Even though she didn't work always fast enough, it always wasn't perfect. There was just a lot of lessons that she had to go through and learn. So anyway, that's me kicking this thing off. And I wanna answer questions. I wanna have everybody get the best experience. And now whatever journey you're on, you could be full blown ketogenic diet, which I just met a gentleman, J.J., if you're on, appreciate your brother down in Southern California. He's doing the ketogenic diet and he decided that he wanted support. So he's now starting to drink our product. You could be using ketones. You could be doing a combination of both or you could be finding them and just learning more. Either way, whatever your journey is, just keep moving forward and learning from it. And don't quit. I promise you, it's just little adjustments that will get you to the ultimate goals. So maximizing your journey, this is how I wanna start this. For 20 years I've been coaching, I've been excited about coaching, I'm very passionate about helping people. My wife and I are dedicated to help a million people every year to change their lives and it's gonna take us time. We're not gonna do that the first year or the second year or the 10th year maybe, well maybe by the 10th year, but we're gonna keep working and getting better so that we can get to that level. That's no different than your health journey, right? It didn't magically happen in one year. It's a process that we have to keep learning through to get better at doing what we love to do. And so, JJ, is that you, JJ in the house? So for 20 years I've been coaching, I've been blessed to work with some of the top minds in the world. I have some people out there that think you can just do this all by diet and I'm gonna challenge them. I'm not gonna do it tonight, but I'm gonna do a video. I'm gonna challenge these hardcore dieters and coaches that don't understand humans. Let's just say the majority of the population. I'm talking to the person that has life happening to them. I'm talking to right now, this is for you. I'm gonna coach you who has kids at home. You've had kids and now they're out of the home and you're trying to figure out the future of your life.   Your sleep hasn't been great in a long time. You're maybe you're bickering with your spouse or maybe you're not on the same page at the moment. Maybe you're the only one in your family doing this and nobody's supporting you right now. Maybe you have some challenges. Maybe you had to go to the doctor like I did today. We had to drive an hour and a half to get our kids shot. Drive an hour and a half back to try to get to a baseball game to try to get to this call. That's happening. The life isn't perfect. I'm gonna talk to you all. That's who I wanna talk to right now because the reality is is that's most of us. As a coach for many years, I used to think everything was bells and whistles and perfect, guess what? I had no kids, I lived by myself. Life was simple. It's gotten more complicated now and it requires more effort and work to put into this. And I wanna make this process easy for you and I wanna answer all your questions, okay? So you guys all good with that? All right, so let's get to it and then I'll ask you guys some more questions. Feel free to share this off. The idea is to bring value and education to as many people as we can and make this simple. If you're starting in this journey, I'm gonna give you two paths. You're drinking ketones or you're trying to do a keto style diet or a low carb diet, okay? This is what I wanna do.  Does the diet work for you? You might have to make adjustments, whatever that looks like. I obviously am a big supporter of drinking ketones because I help more people that way and it seems to work faster and you tend to get better results.  It could be four ounces or it could be 16 ounces. Whatever seems satisfying to you. I don't want you to put a number on it. I want you to listen to you. Ray, summer's husband, maybe drinks more water than summer does. You get it? If I say a number, it's really hard. Now I'm gonna make a big push here and I want you all to listen to this. I want you to write this down. Celtic sea salt. Now I've been on a band way for Celtic sea salt for a long time. I then kind of got away from it a little bit and I kind of let it go away. I went back and listened to one of my mentors again and I don't know why I got away from it. I used to only talk about Celtic sea salt. So here's what I want you to do is Celtic sea salt. You don't have to throw away all your salt right now. If you already have him a land or real salt, you can finish with those. If you don't have those salts, I want you to get rid of them and get Celtic sea salt. It's from overseas. The way it's formulated, it's the best sea salt that out there and it has a lot more variables to it than people can understand or even realize. And so I want you to trust them in it. If you need resources, hit me a private message and I'll send you resources. But Celtic sea salt.  I'm not saying a handful. I want you to take a pinch of Celtic sea salt and throw it in your water and have it first thing in the morning. So what I want you to do. First thing in the morning, have a pinch of Celtic sea salt. Now, in three years from now, I might tell you a different story, but we're not there yet. I'm gonna stay with what's worked for so many people.  If you know Gary V, you just went live also. So if every time you have water, I want you to use a pinch. Oh, just a little pinch. It's a little sprinkle. You can take a salt shaker, just salt shake it in there. I will, the difference between Celtic sea salt and Himalayan, well, first off Himalayan sea salt is just overpriced salt. I'm sorry, y'all. It's the way they mine it, where it's coming from. You're not getting the same type of mineral sources as you are from Celtic sea salt. The way Celtic sea salt is mined has a lot more research behind it, the way they purify it, the way it is purified. It's different and it's more balanced. And it's very micro, it's at a very micro level, y'all. And it's very mineral driven. And it's just, I trust it way more and I trust the sources way more and I trust who created it and the mission behind why they did it, y'all. Himalayan got marketed high. Not saying it's bad, I'm just saying Celtic is better. If that makes sense? I'm not, I'm saying Himalayan is better than maybe iodine salt or regular table salt. Celtic is this better salt. A real salt would probably be my second. Real salt would be my second and then Himalayan. And here's the deal, it'll save you money because Himalayan just marketed off and they just increased the prices.  You don't even need an eighth of a teaspoon unless you're very prone to having dehydration problems. Okay. So first thing in the morning, I know I went rambled on that, but here's the reality, y'all. This is the reality. I'm trying to set you up for success and just a little pinch. It's for hydration is for mineralization. I think it's more important than people lead on or even understand. And I'm talking about a very high level of people don't quite understand the foundation of that and what's important about that. So that's number one. Number two is you're going to drink your ketones. Okay. You're going to have your ketones in the morning. If you drink coffee, fine, have coffee. You can drink your ketones before or after coffee either way, if you're doing a keto diet, you can have your coffee in the morning, same thing. What you want to do in your coffee is either want to have it black or you want to have a keto friendly coffee.  If you're the average everyday person, meaning if you put butter, MCT oil, or you put our keto cream, which I recommend. It's 160 calories. It's functional fat. It has collagen in it. It's good for your skin, anti-aging.  If you don't want to have coffee, you don't have to. Don't make yourself do something you don't want to do. And then I want you to do Leslie about the hypertension component. I want you to Google, if you're worried about sodium in any capacity, hit me a private message. I want you to Google Dr. Brett Schur. Dr. Brett Schur, S-C-H-E-R from dietdoctor.com and type that in there and he will answer that question for you. And it's quite remarkable, by the way. You're going to love, you're going to love it. He's a genius. He's one of my good friends. He's actually an amazing individual, very good writer, researcher, doctor, cardiologist, awesome guy. But you can look up that answer there and it'll give you some pretty good insight. I think you'll appreciate that. So I'm answering questions as I go through this. You drink your ketones before or after your coffee. Don't mind either way. Just make sure if you have coffee, it's keto friendly, low carb, keto friendly sweeteners. If you don't know what that is, Google it, look it up. It's really easy to find these days. Keto cream for privet is what we're going to use. So if you're not getting that, I'll tell you where to get that later and then drink your ketones. You're going to want to drink this over about 30 to 45 minutes. Now there's a funny video going through TikTok right now. They played my video and then they chugged it right after the video and making fun of my video. The reason why is we want the absorption to happen. This product, we don't want it to go through your system really fast. If you have GI looseness, if that happens for you, all I want you to do is use less water and drink it slower or do a half a pack, use less water and drink it slower. Meaning don't do a full shaker bottle. Simple solution, it usually will work to slow down the transit time. Here's, now we'll get the nuts and bolts. That's your morning. You're going to replace your first meal with this. If you're doing the ketogenic diet, you're going to replace your first meal with your coffee.  This is everyday person, you all.  This is for everybody that's not that person that has life happening. I want you to delay your first meal, you're going to wait till at least 10 a.m. Preferably 11, 12 or one. Between 11 and one ideally, I want you to wait to 11 to 12 to one to eat your first meal, okay? And here's the deal. I'm going to give you two options. One, well, this is a sound funny. Always eat your, let me rephrase that. I'm going to give you a couple of ways to look at this. Your first meal, I want you to make the best choice you can make. If you have three choices, make the best one. If you have a pizza, a salad, and a burger, choose the salad with a low carb dressing. I want you just to make the best choice. Okay, that's number one option. Number one option. Number two option and what seems to be the most pertainable to most people is take whatever you currently do for your lunch and just make it low carb and more natural, more like good for you. Does that make sense? If you eat a sandwich, take the bread away and wrap it in lettuce. Use the same condiments inside. If you do a burger, take the bun off and do a side salad. If you do chicken, do chicken, maybe with a steamed vegetables on the side. I want you just to make the best choices that you can make for lunch. Eat as much as you need, stop when you're full. I am a big fan of vegetables, low carb vegetables, broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, spinach. I'm a big fan of beans and salad greens. Let's see how it seems to work. So let's go with that. I hope that makes sense. It seems to work. Between 11 and one, you have that for the meal. Lunch or snack between the meal, 99% of you don't need a snack. Let's be honest, you don't need a snack. I want you to ask yourself, are you bored? Are you bored or are you really hungry? Here's the, I want you to listen to this. Here's the secret. If you're really hungry, there's two things that are happening. One, you didn't eat enough lunch. So be aware, you maybe needed to eat more, probably protein for lunch. I'm not telling you to go high fat, keto dieters. I want you to be okay with going with more fat. If I'm okay with fat, I just don't want you to add a lot.  Be low carb first, let it be a transition.  Most people are gonna have to go low carb first and then you can slowly transition into more fat. Hope that makes sense. Now, if you want a snack in the afternoon, there's gonna be a couple options. Majority of you should have a second ketones in the afternoon if you really need a snack. Always watch your protein consumption for lunch.  Those are your high standards. Olives, hard boiled egg or let's say olives. Those are kinda your gold standard. What else you can have is a small eighth of a cup of nuts. Nuts should not be a big part of your diet. You can have them, but they shouldn't be a ton of them. Okay, and I'm gonna do a, I did a video on nuts, but I'll maybe I'll send it out again. And then what you're gonna do for dinner is do the best low carb option you have. Best healthiest option.  Here's the reality is if you try to make this perfect, you're gonna fail. If you try to make this perfect, you're gonna fail. Do the best you can and commit to the process, commit to the journey. My sister was not perfect every day for the first eight weeks or the first year or the first five years, but she's down a hundred pounds of fat and she's living the best life she can live because she didn't beat herself up when she just did the best she could and she started over the next day and started enjoying new foods and new ideas and new things that she was trying to do, new activities because she was feeling better. So I'm gonna do a quick recap. Water in the morning, Celtic sea salt. Every time you have water, I want you to just take a little pinch and y'all a pinch of Celtic sea salt is not a lot of sodium by the way, it's like micros of sodium. So don't think about that. Salt is not our enemy. Y'all just so you all know.  Coffee if you want it, ketones in the morning, low carb, healthiest lunch, low carb preferred in the midday, 11 to one, low carb dinner, second serving in the afternoon if you'd like, or you can have a snack if you need it, if not just enjoy your life. That's as simple as that. No more simple as that. Some of you veterans, you might be playing with a keto at night for sleep. You can play with all those things, but here's the reality. That's how you maximize this.  Some of you've been doing this a little while, you might be doing our 24 fast, doing the fast with us on Mondays. Awesome. You might be doing the reboot with us. Awesome. Just get started with the simple process, the simple journey and I promise you, it'll keep going further and further and further. So that's me. I'm going to be quiet right now. I'm going to go to questions. I've answered a few already. Anything you have, come at me with questions.  How do I get started? I want to try the keto cream. Get back to whoever invited you this. Whoever invited you on here, get back to them and say, listen, I need to get this product. I want to try it. I want some more coaching. I want to get on the coaching site, drinkketosis.com. I want to be part of the proof of community, the coaching community, drinkketosis.com daily group, get into our community, get into our group and we'll keep giving you coaching and guide you throughout the process and teach you all the other ways to enhance this journey for you. But whoever invited you, we're a team and we want to support each other. If you don't know how to get back to anybody, hit me. I will help you find whoever you need to get back to and or take care of you if you're one of my followers and help you through this journey, y'all. So that's me. I want to answer any questions. I'm going to check everything out here. Yes, Matt, Debbie, my sister, it's, y'all, you know, when you help your family, the hardest people to help are the people you care the most about, right? They're always the most complicated.  They always make things conflict. I mean, they just, it's just unbelievable how hard it is and watching them just light up and change their lives. I mean, we're doing a family reunion in July in my almost, I mean, I think every one of them are on keto. Like every one of them are drinking our product and needing better. That's the best gift in the world that we can do that. And I promise you, if I can do that, you can do that. Sherry, you're going to have to check that out with your doctor. She was talking about pregnancy. You got to check with your doctor on that. That's it. You know, obviously in a situation, we want to make sure you're safe and you take care of yourself during that phase. So work with your doctor on there and see if they'll work with you or collaborate you on that journey and if it's appropriate for you, okay? Every bottle of water, a pinch of sea salt.  Y'all, most water's not that good. Just going to tell you, most of it's not great. So the reason why I recommend Celtic sea salt is the way the minerals you're getting from it are really awesome. And so I want you to, I'm going to get over here, Dave, I got to get to this chat. So that's going to help enhance and give it some electrolytes. A lot of this alkalinity that people are talking about has to do, driven with bicarbonates, has to do with minerals more than this charging of it. And so that's why I recommend that because most water that people are consuming is actually not super awesome. And so at least it's a little offset in balancing. I'm not a coffee drinker. What other hacks do you have for keto cream in it? My favorite is you can do with tea. Keto cream can go and chai tea really well. And it's really delicious, especially if you just do a little bit of cream with it. Also, we make desserts with keto cream. We cook with it, we make cookies with it. We do a lot of things. I make smoothies with keto cream and for our kids. So that's, I use a lot of things with keto cream and it's a great enhancement tool. What brand of water do you recommend? Mountain Springs. If you want to, the best of the best is Mountain Spring Water. It's a glass bottle, Mountain Spring Water. Then you can go down to maybe Fiji, arguably, Smart Waters Coca-Cola with this enhanced electrolyte. So maybe it's okay. Evian is probably my second favorite behind Mountain Springs. Bottled water. That's probably, I probably won't go past those three. Okay, I hope that's okay. What is the best way to get started keto nap detox first or detox? So I think the best way to get started in this journey is to drink keto nap first. Introduction of ketones, I think is a better phase than going right to a fast. The 24 fast isn't so bad, but the 60 reboot is kind of hard for people to get started with. It's just a lot of shock to your system. I'm a bigger fan of people gradually transitioning to keto than jumping into it because your body has to go through some transitions in that. So I'd like to say five to 10 days of starting to introduce keto nap first and then you can go into the 24 fast or the 60-hour keto reboot. That's what I'd recommend somewhere. I find that people get the best rebound. And more importantly, the best journey or experience because when you do a fast, your GI tract detoxing all happens kind of rapidly. So water, water, water, okay. I have my second keto nap at dinner. I find it gets cravings. An hour later, should I have a three... No, if you're getting a second nap, if you're especially for a woman, most likely Carol, if you're having a second one and you're getting cravings, you're not getting enough protein in your day. You're not eating, you need more food. Y'all, keto nap in our program here isn't for you not to eat. It's for you to eat better and make sure you're supplying proper nutrients and proteins to your diet. So I'm encouraging real food as much as we can. I hope that makes sense. My female athletes, a lot of my cross-fitting female athletes, they often get hungry after our product. The reason why is they're malnourished. They're working out more and they're not eating high-quality enough food for their workouts. So I would say if you're getting cravings and hunger, most likely your protein's too low or your fat's maybe too low and you're not being satiated. And keto nap is telling you to eat. It sounds kind of crazy, but it's telling you to eat, which is kind of weird. If the opposite effects happening is telling you there's a gap that needs to be filled. For those of you that are beer drinkers, do you have any completely give up? No, that's a great, Miss Cox, alcohol. Let's go, alcohol. I shot a video with alcohol one night. It was actually really fun. I think it's on TikTok. Here's the reality, beer is tough. There's a lot of low-carb beers out there and I would say move in that direction. If you want to stay low-carb, low-carb beer's the way it goes. Now it's going to taste more like water and if you're a beer fan, then you got a problem with that. If you don't like water-tasting beer, I don't like beer in general. So if I do my beer, it always tastes like water. But what I would tell beer drinkers is be aware there is wheat in a lot of beers and to get a low-carb, wheat-free beer is not super easy. So wheat in itself cannot really settle for people. So just be in mind that if beer makes you bloat it, that's probably a good indicator you shouldn't do it in the first place. But use your low-carb beers first off. Second thing is, is you can use low-carb wines but there's definitely more carb appropriate beer and wine out there, right? They're sweeter and more carb-based. So I would just tell you to watch it. But hey, listen, if you're drinking alcohol regularly and you're not getting closer to your results, alcohol will slow down the production of metabolizing body fat. A, your body's going to use the alcohol's energy. Second thing is, is that alcohol slows you down? Is it a present? Does that make sense? Alcohol slows your system down. So everything in your system doesn't work as fast. I hope that makes sense. It's kind of basic, but it's kind of simple. So if your fat loss is your goal and alcohol is impeding that, you may have to cut it out for a time being and or you have to maybe only have it once a week or you have to just play with it. Some people can do more or less. What is your favorite keto cocktail? We're going to go down to alcohol rabbit. I'm a tequila fan. So tequila, I use, I do use some of our products in our cocktails. So I use a keto nat like a lime for cocktails or Maui Punch is one of my favorite cocktails. I like tequila with lime juice. A little bit of sparkling water is awesome for me. And I will do a little splash of like stevia, a little splash of OJ. I will do a little natural fruit juices. I mean, just a splash typically, very still low carb. I've been doing that since college. It's just something I'm naturally done. Vodka, I do a great goose. Soda water, lime or lemon, squeeze, I'll do our mitoplex as a topper, as a sweetener in it. And so I like most of my alcohol beverages to taste more watery than anything else. It's just my style, but that's what I recommend for alcohol. There's keto friendly wines out there. All right, here we go. I'm just reading. There's a big message in there. I'm not sure I can read all that. All right, somebody on the message put a huge, keep in mind I can read about one line at a time. So if you write more than one line on a question, I'm not gonna be able to answer that. So if you have a question, make sure you write it really short so I can actually track it. How do you, I'm super dyslexic. So one or two lines I'm lost if it's past that. How do you feel about coffee with protein shakes in it? I think that's fine. I'm okay. Coffee is coffee, caffeine and coffee. Coffee actually has natural anti-accidents. You get to the anti-aging doctors in the world. They're big on coffee and caffeine. They're huge fans of it. Now people can get picky about some of those components, but I'm fine with that. You gotta look at what's your outcome and what's your goal. I'm more cautious about protein shakes because of where they are maybe manufactured, quality, how many carbs are in them. Do you need that kind of protein? What's the amino acid profile? Is it gonna build muscle the proper way? I'm more concerned about all those things than I am about the coffee primarily. So I would just ask the question is like, what quality protein shakes, what's your goal? Do you need the extra protein? Are you getting enough protein from food? Which I primarily recommend. We do have our own keto pro, but the way we formulate our protein is very specific and it's really designed to help metabolize or help develop more muscle tissue without as much processing from the human body, which I'm a big fan of. So protein shakes have been overdone for so long it's like, are we really getting out of them what we need? So and there are some really good brands out there and there's some really not so good brands out there and it's not everything's created equal. Let's just say that much. Keto is the best way of life for me. Yeah, that's great. I mean, keto, the truth story is people need to be more keto, this is the reality is most people can't do it diet only. They can't maintain it diet only and that's a big challenge for them. And so that's a big obstacle for them. And so that's why I'm a big fan of supplementing ketones and helping people find the journey that they're willing to sustain. I no longer follow strict ketogenic diet. I follow a high bread because I can just fill the gap with ketones, which I think is more fun, more enjoyable and longer lasting and my numbers, my health is absolutely extraordinary.  How does our bone broth help work? Can I give it to my dog? Yes, you can give your bone broth to your dogs. Talk to your vet and I'm just kidding. You can use bone broth to your dogs. If I had my dog run, I would be using that continuously. I put my dog on a ketogenic diet when she was eight years old, when she was my best friend's my vet. And he's like, she's not well, she's not gonna make it very long. We tried all those prescribed dog foods. I decided to put my dog on my diet and she started running, jumping again for the first time, run around, she run miles with me after at that time. And she lived for almost eight years longer. She almost died right before she was 100 pound female that it's unheard of to have a hundred pound female lab into their 15, it just doesn't exist. And I truly believe that the diet I use, which was a raw keto diet for our dog was the reason she made it so long and so well with phytality. So can you talk about ketone sandwiches? How and when, oh, that's a good one. I'm glad I caught that summer. So I just released them on the drinkketosis.com site. I just released the new updated protocol. So if you're going through there and you have some resource questions, go on there. Remember, this journey is simple. It's not super hard. People over complicate it because they want it to be complicated. Health and wellness is not complicated. Most people don't tolerate carbohydrates very well. Most people should reduce them over time. And not that you have to, but most people should because we just don't need that much. And most people need to elevate the ketone levels to maximize their health longevity, especially their brain. Most people, I'm not saying everybody. I remember I'm talking to the norm, right? There's always extremes.  Meaning if you have a date night with your spouse, you know, my mother's day is coming up, right? You might have a brunch, have a momo-moso. You might have something else, have some fun desserts, whatever that looks like for you. Before you go to brunch, drink ketones on the way to it. What happens is that your brain's slowed down. You're not super craving and hungry and ravishing at lunch. You don't overindulge. Maybe you have a piece of pie. Maybe you have a dessert. Maybe you celebrate a little bit and you don't overdo it. And you don't feel bad after. And then on the way home, have a second serving. You may be more than you normally would have. What you do is you sandwich it.  It's the rush of sugar and carbs. And then three, four hours later, you wanna go after it again. Well, I messed up. I'm just gonna keep going and it's two, three days later, I'll keep doing that. Let's be honest, most of you don't have that willpower. I know I have a tendency. If I have pizza one night, I wanna have pizza the next night and the next night and the next night and the next night. When you sandwich your ketones like one before and after and then the next day have your ketone, I always recommend having one the next day. What happens is you shut down that desire to keep going for and you get yourself back into a rhythm and plan and then you celebrate that. You're proud of yourself that you were able to maintain that. I hope that makes sense. In me, that's a really cool thing and that new bonus step on drinkketosis.com has just been put up. I talk about that again on there. So go check that out for sure. So I don't think there's many more questions. This is good. Everybody's doing awesome here. If I missed your question earlier, retype it in cause I have, I think nine platforms or eight platforms I'm going through right now. So I'm looking at all of them and some of them got lost. So I apologize that they did. Yo, please get back. Is an energy substitute. Alcohol is an energy substitute, man. Alcohol has, you know, one thing about alcohol people don't realize, it has a lot of calories in it and they're kind of dead calories. If that makes sense like your body, your body, it messes things up a little bit. I'm not against alcohol. I indulge a little bit for a single to my yesterday. Maybe a little bit more than I'm willing to admit. It was fun. We had a good party, socially distanced though. But here's the reality is alcohol adds up fast. Ladies, I'm going to talk to you for a second. Two mistakes I see women make very often is this one. They start getting on keto and they start using fat in their coffee. Well, they're doing the same amount of fat as their husbands may be doing or a friend of theirs doing who is burning 3,500 calories. And this woman's only burning 1,500 calories a day or 1,800 calories a day. Well, if you put two tablespoons of fat in your coffee or three, you're up to 3,400, 500 calories in your coffee in the morning. What's a mistake?  I hope that makes sense. And now you're not able to get the right protein in and feel good and get all the nutrients you want. The second mistake is alcohol. Alcohol on average has 90 calories per serving. If it's a glass of wine, if it's an ounce of alcohol, 90 calories. So two, three drinks, you're up to 3,400 calories pretty fast. And let's be honest, nobody does a simple like one shot. Nobody does a one glass. It's always a little extra. Who's with me? It's always a little extra. So you can go out and have a night but you had a third of your calories for the day in drinks.  So these are just like simple math. Sometimes numbers help people go, wow, that may be why I'm not getting into where I want to go. I'm not against it. I just want people to realize that it may be the thing that's holding them back. Doesn't mean you can't bring it back in but maybe you have to modify it, lower it, reduce it for a certain amount of time to get your goal and then find out how much you can add back without deeming it. That's why people stop drinking and they lose 30 pounds. It's just typically a calorie thing for those individuals. So how does a bone block work? I got that one. Do you recommend fasting the day after a bad cheat day? That is an awesome question. I'm gonna say that again. I recommend fasting after a cheat day. I actually recommended the other way around. I recommend fasting the day before the cheat day. So what I'd recommend, and the reason why I do that is think of it as a bank. The more you can pull carbs out of your body and let's rephrase that. We don't call it cheat days, we call it a fun day. It's like cheating is just not a good thing, y'all. I'm just gonna be honest. It's a fun day.  Let's go celebrate. What I recommend fasting before, I actually learned this from Dr. Peter Atia. He, his wife would make him go out and have fun because he's very strict, right? He's this stream. His wife's like, no, we're gonna have fun.  You're gonna have fun with me. I wanna, my wife was like that with me. She's like, you always have to be weird or can we just go have fun? Like not worry about how many carbs or anything. So you fast before and maybe exercise the day before more. And what you did is you're giving yourself, you can actually go have a little bit more carbs and your body can store some of those carbs and it's not gonna hinder you as much. You're not gonna come out of it. So if I do a, let's say I have pizza and I'm gonna have dessert and I'm gonna go out and have fun, right? I'm gonna go a little bit more strict, low carb and maybe exercise a couple of days before. And basically when I go and I have my fun night, I might have a lot of carbs. I wake up the next day and I'm pretty good in ketosis. Like my body will store. It'll use some of the carbs as energy, right? I'm pretty metabolically efficient. And so I recommend that first, okay?  So that's the only bad thing about it. So maybe you fast and then do a couple low carb days or a low carb day before and really like go real low carb and maybe exercise the day before. And then when you come out of your fun day, I would recommend drinking ketones, intermittent fasting and have maybe one meal that next day if you wanna kind of go to a modified fast and then you can work back and do it fast. That's what, if you wanna be perfect, that's what I would recommend. I think you'll get a better results, but test it, play around yourself, do it both ways. Proactive, that would mean I would have to be proactive. Yeah, I mean, yes, proactive. If you're not gonna be proactive, you can go the other way. The problem with fasting, here's the problem with going a bunch of carbohydrates and fasting, especially if you're not using our product, is that when you have a lot of carbs, you have to now go through that. So you kinda are more prone to going through a kind of a phasing out and it's kind of dramatic when your body drops of glucose and then you're trying to produce ketones. If you're not super metabolically efficient, that can be kind of stressful for you. If you're drinking ketones, it's way easier. I would just have a keto in the morning, maybe one at, so have like one at seven and one at like 11 and then prolong that.  What do you think about people? Yeah, people that are got some health challenges, people that are dealing with doctor stuff, listen, work with your doctors. I just interviewed one of the top doctors, he's a cardiothoracic surgeon, I gotta say, Poveta, Poveta. And I gotta remember his name, I had to see it. And work with your doctor. This is a great opportunity. It's funny, a lot of doctors that come on board with our community, they're usually using our product because they need to get healthy themselves. But it's just really important that if you're dealing with stuff, get your team, work with your team. What I mean by your team is your health team, your medical team, your coaches, be part of our community. Listen to Dr. Andy, listen to Dr. Heather, go on Wednesday's lives that was yesterday and re-listen to them. The resources on Drink Ketosis has some good information that come from them. And the reason why is that your situation may be more complex. And I want you to understand that, that you need to be aware of all the dynamics because typically you're changing your lifestyle, you're eating differently. A lot of things are changing and I want you to be intelligent through that process. I hope that makes sense. So I hope that answered your question but I think that's to me really important. How does the, okay, I got that one. This line, I think that's TikTok or Instagram, Instagram, that Instagram just slowed down. I know it's late y'all and so I hope that's okay.  I can picture her like, stop counting cards. I'm not sure you see that but I'm not a fan of counting cards by the way, I think. Once, for some of you that are really over the top, particularly everything you do, one week, the more we count, the more we measure our ketones, the more we count, the more we use the scale, the more that I find that it messes you up, the more that you trust your body, listen to your body and enjoy the process, the more that you'll have success. Doesn't mean you can't check in but counting cards is definitely a recipe for long-term disaster. And if you have any Weight Watcher people, you know, I've been in this industry for a long time and I've watched more people on Weight Watchers, they're miserable. Not, I mean, for nutrition, they're miserable. They're always counting and adding everything up. They're not free, they're prisoners trying to control everything and the world is too complicated to have that kind of control. So be free, take your time. Kathy Berry, who's down almost 250 pounds, like be free, enjoy the journey. Know that you're not gonna be perfect. Know that you're gonna have carbs more one day and less than another day. Enjoy that journey. I promise you, it'll be more, most free. Doesn't mean you can't check in. Doesn't mean you shouldn't weigh yourself every once in a while. Doesn't mean you shouldn't go to your doctor, right? Doesn't mean you shouldn't count your carbs once in a while. Check in to see if you're lying to yourself. Check in to see, I'm low carb. No, you just had 100 carbs every day for the last five, five days. Oh, I did, I forgot. I didn't realize this. Those are things or reminders. I like that. I don't like counting every day. I know you can talk about, I know you can't talk about medical stuff and I won't, but I received, that's great.  Is that correct? I think you're a nurse, which is pretty awesome. Guess what? If you get healthy and you start doing things that are gonna help take care of you, you're gonna see a lot of positive health changes. And to me, that is why we do this, right? Is for people to live better, be healthier. And I'm not gonna get my soapbox, but I had two different health professionals and they're really cool, smart guys, like really intelligent. I listen to them because I love their knowledge and their wisdom. But then they both made comments that were ignorant.  A lot of the people that I listened to work with really fit healthy people. They're not working with the extreme of the 70% of the population, they're working with the 30, right? And I'm blessed I get to work with that 30 and I've also worked with a lot of the 70. And there's research out there that shows that there's a good portion of our population that can do the perfect diet will never get long-term results. But yet they say, the best things come for free. You don't need to drink ketones because you can get them free from just doing a diet. They're ignorant because the reality is 60% of Americans probably won't ever be successful if they do the diet perfect. If they do what these guys are telling them to do which people don't do. So I'm like, why would you say that when you don't understand? Now I like it because they're challenging us but and they say that so I can say this to you is that unless you're perfect every single day of your life and you can follow their regimen perfectly and you have their metabolic system and their discipline and their background as an athlete for most of their life, never gone through health trouble. I got diagnosed with a condition when I was in my 20s. I've been injured multiple times. I've gone through multiple surgeries. I'm going through more this year. Like I can get down with things not working. Like I was doing things right and things weren't working and I drank a product and it made this switch where I could do things I couldn't do before. I had more confidence. I was making better decisions. And I'm like, that's the real world reality here and that's what we're doing here. So for those haters out there, their haters, they're just purists, they're strict. They're not talking to 90% of us.  So I had to do a diet strict for a year before I even kind of broke through my challenges. And I was so committed because it was the only chance I had. It was the only shot I had but most people just don't do that. So got off my soapbox. I'm sorry, they did hit me yesterday and I was super pumped. I just want to do a video on it. Health and Wellness is more important to me. Yeah, I mean, Kathy, yeah, Kathy's down 250 pounds. You're like, health and wellness is more important to me. But there's moments, I guarantee you, Kathy, there was moments where the stale wasn't moving and she got kind of like, I want to change that. Kathy's very competitive too, by the way, so don't let her fool you. But the reality is, is that's the truth. When you start living your life, you realize your future is whatever you created to be. So Kathy, I appreciate your journey and your journey's amazing. So I'm just running here, guys. I apologize if this is going late for you all. Yeah, I mean, there's a lot of people, not just doctors, there's a lot of people uneducated about keto. Let's be honest, six years ago the word keto didn't exist, nobody talked about it. When we started proving six years ago or five and a half years ago, it was like a foreign language. Like I literally, one of my best friends, I was on the golf course, I just, we just opened, we're golfing, it was like three weeks in. I'm making up ketones. And he goes, what are you drinking? I go ketones for your therapeutic ketones.  That's gonna be so bad for you.  I literally, I was golfing with two doctors, by the way. And I'm like, are you kidding me? Like, what are you talking about? I go, you're in ketosis right now. He's like, I am not. I go, I guarantee it. I didn't have a blood meter on me, but he went and measured and he was. He just didn't understand the complexity of what we were talking about, if that makes sense. But once he understood it, he realizes he's in ketosis most of the time. He lives a keto style diet. Why? Because I put him on it. Does that make sense? He didn't understand, he saw the extremes that he'd read about or maybe saw in his practice. He didn't understand the day-to-day lives of ketosis, the basics, the foundation, the health, the history of it all. But as soon as we informed them, that changed his mind. Dr. Brett Sherwood, the guy I talked about, he didn't quite understand it until we educated him on it. Now he talks about it all the time. So it's just the beginning. And that's people, that's trainers. I'm on with trainers all the time that don't understand it. I'm on with nutritionists all the time. The doctors in the world are all starting to learn this and now the foundationals are too. And we just have to be patient with them. They just know what they know and they don't know what they don't know. But the funny thing is, is most doctors, ironically are the most open-minded people I work with. It's actually the nurses and the trainers, the ones that are kind of in the trenches, they're the ones I actually have a harder time with. So I don't know why that's the case or maybe it's just for me, but I find that they're actually more open to it if you give them some education. There's so much research out there. If you present it right to them, they'll usually receive it well. So love your fire. Y'all, I'm in fire. I'm fired up, I'm fired up. Y'all, I'm gonna get off. I gotta go feed my, well, my kids are being fed. I need to go feed myself.  Y'all, I appreciate you. I'm an NP and I'm learning about it. That's awesome. I'm glad. I'm glad. Y'all, I'm telling you what we're doing is changing the way the world is gonna be done. This is changing the, the things are changing, y'all. And I'm telling you this, you don't need mission to take advantage of your house. To provoke, to provoke, to provoke, to provoke, to provoke, to provoke, to provoke, to provoke, he literally said this, I was interviewing him, he said this, and we're gonna see him again if I don't see him speak. He's gonna be speaking in two weeks. I'll be in the whole Kentucky hosting the largest keto event in the world for three nights in a row. It's gonna be really cool. But he said this, he goes, you are responsible of your health journey. You're responsible for taking advantage of yourself. You're responsible. Like he's like, you are. He goes, you are.  They're a support to you. You're trainers. They're a support to me. You're in charge of what you put in your mouth. You're in charge of that. You all, doesn't mean you should go blindly or ignorantly. Get these people that you're asking to work with, they are intelligent. They have a lot of knowledge. They may be ignorant to part of it. So provide the information for them and find the ones that are understanding it better so that you can get the consulted by the ones that maybe understand your approach that you're using. Does that make sense? Just cause they don't know doesn't mean that it's wrong that they don't know. Doesn't mean it's wrong that you do it either. You might have to find something that understands your approach that you want to apply instead of saying that person is bad or wrong. You might just need to be working with. It's like, if I get a chiropractor that doesn't resonate with me, I go get another chiropractor. Does that make sense? Didn't mean the first one was wrong because my wife likes a completely different adjustment than I like. True story, we don't use the same chiropractors. Right? Does that hope that makes sense? Because we have different feels and different things that we like. I'm not, I'm so fired up. Yo, get back to whoever invited you. Yes, I got a lot of energy. And East Coasters, thanks for staying up. It's 11, 15 for you all. I appreciate you. Australia, Singapore. I know we have people all over the world that are chiming in. Y'all, I appreciate y'all. JJ, dude, if you're on, appreciate you joining our journey. Y'all, get back to where I invited you. It's important you do that. Work with our team. Whoever invited you to this cares about you. They may not know your answers. They don't want to be your coach. I'm here for that. I'm here to provide the best coaching in the world, the best community in the world, and we're here to support it. And so if you have questions, let us answer it for them. Don't let them have to know all. Well, listen, I've been studying this for my whole life, my whole adult life at least. And so that's why we do what we do and that's why we're doing what we're doing. So get back to where you invited you. Invite people to this. I'll be doing one on Sunday night. I'm gonna be doing a big live Sunday night. I'm gonna have a lot of energy. I'm gonna be really fired up Sunday night. And stay tuned next Thursday. We have something special coming for anybody that is wanting to do more with us. If you wanna join our team and play a bigger role with what we're doing and are open-minded to some cool stuff, next Thursday night, we're gonna do a special Zoom at 9.15 and it's going to be knockout. I have a huge team coming on board.  So Thursday night, save it in your calendar. You're not gonna miss it. So we'll see y'all Sunday, y'all. I'm out. I gotta come over here with, I think Dave, was that you that asked that question? I didn't know what you said, by the way, because it was so long. I was like, I couldn't read all of that, but I'm gonna say bye to everybody. Bye, everybody. Bye, world. Bye, Facebook. Cheers, y'all. Brad knows. Appreciate you, brother. And Brad.


Section 52 of Pilgrimage to Almedina and Mecca, this is a LibriVox recording. All LibriVox recordings are in the public domain. For more information or to volunteer, please visit LibriVox.org Recording by Nicholas James Bridgewater. Section 52 of Personal Narrative of a Pilgrimage to Almedina and Mecca by Richard Francis Burton Appendix 8 The Mecca Pilgrimage Having resolved to perform the Mecca Pilgrimage, I spent a few months at Cairo, and on the 22nd of May, embarked in a small steamer at Suez with the Mahmel or Litter and its military escort, conveying the Kiswa or covering for the Karba. On the 25th, the man at the wheel informed us that we are about to pass the village of Rabih on the Arabian coast, and that the time had consequently arrived for changing our usual habiliments for the Ihram or pilgrim costume of two towels and for taking the various interdictory vows involved in its assumption, such as not to tie knots in any portion of our dress, not to oil the body, and not to cut our nails or hair, nor to improve the tints of the latter with the coppery red of henna. Transgression of these and other ceremonial enactments is expiated either by animal sacrifice or gifts of fruit or cereals to the poor. After a complete ablution and assuming the Ihram, we performed two prayer flexions and recited the meritorious sentences beginning with the words La Baikalahum La Baik Here I am, O God, here I am, here I am, O unassociated one, here I am, for unto thee belong praise, grace and empire, O unassociated one. The prayer was repeated so often, people not unfrequently rushing up to their friends and shrieking the sacred sentence into their ears, that at last it became a signal for merriment, rather than an indication of piety. On the 26th we reached Jeddah, where the utter sterility of Arabia with its dunes and rocky hills becomes apparent. The town, however, viewed from the sea, is not unpicturesque. Many European vessels were at anchor off the coast, and as we entered the port, innumerable small fishing boats darting in all directions, their sails no longer white, but emerald green from the intense lustre of the water crowded around us on all sides, and reminded one by their dazzling colours and rapidity of motion of the shoals of porpoises so often seen on a voyage round the Cape. On disembarking we were accosted by several Mu'tawwafs, or circuit men, so termed in Arabic, because, besides serving as religious guides in general, their special duty is to lead the pilgrim in his seven obligatory circuits around the Kaaba. We encamped outside the town, and having visited the tomb of our mother Eve, mounted our camels for Mecca. After a journey of 20 hours across the desert, we passed the barriers which marked the outermost limits of the sacred city, and, ascending some giant steps, pitched our tents on a plain, or rather plateau, surrounded by barren rock, some of which distant but a few yards, masked from view the birthplace of the prophet. It was midnight. A few drops of rain were falling, and lightning played around us. Day after day we had watched its brightness from the sea, and many a faithful haji had pointed out to his companions those fires which were heaven's witness to the sanctity of the spot. Alhamdulillah! Thanks be to God! We were now at length to gaze upon the Qiblah, to which every Muslim has turned in prayer since the days of Muhammad. Soon after dawn arose from our midst the shout of La Baik, La Baik, and passing between the rocks we found ourselves in the main street of Mecca, and approached the gateway of salvation, one of the 39 portals of the Temple of Al-Haram. On crossing the threshold we entered a vast unroofed quadrangle, a mighty amplification of the Palais Royale, having on each of its four sides a broad colonnade, divided into three aisles by a multitude of slender columns, and rising to the height of about 30 feet. Surmounting each arch of the colonnade is a small dome. In all there are 120, and at different points arise seven minarets dating from various epochs, and of somewhat varying altitudes and architecture. The numerous pigeons which have their home within the Temple have been believed never to alight upon any portion of its roof, thus miraculously testifying to the holiness of the building. This marvel-having, however, of late years been suspended, many discern another omen of the approach of the long predicted period when unbelievers shall desecrate the hallowed soil. In the centre of the square area rises the far-famed cowbar, the funereal shade of which contrasts vividly with the sunlit walls and precipices of the town. It is a cubical structure of massive stone, the upper two-thirds of which are mantled by a black cloth embroidered with silver, and the lower portion hung with white linen. At a distance of several yards, it is surrounded by a balustrade, provided with lamps which are lighted in the evening, and the space thus enclosed is the circuit-ground along which, day and night, crowds of pilgrims performing the circular ceremony of Boeuf, realise the idea of perpetual motion. We at once advanced to the black stone embedded in an angle of the cowbar, kissed it, and exclaimed, Bismillah, Wallahu Ekbel, in God's name, and God is greatest. Then we commenced the usual seven rounds, three at a walking pace, and four at a brisk trot. Next followed two prayer-flections at the tomb of Abraham, after which we drank of the water of Zamzam, said to be the same which quenched the thirst of Hagar's exhausted son. Besides the cowbar, eight minor structures adorn the quadrangle, the well of Zamzam, the library, the clock room, the triangular staircase, and four ornamental resting places for the Orthodox sects of Hanafi, Shafi'i, Maliki, and Hanbali. We terminated our morning duties by walking and running seven times along the streets of Safa and Marwa, so named from the flight of seven steps at each of its extremities. After a few days spent in visiting various places of interest, such as the slave markets and forts, and the houses of the Prophet, and the caliphs, Ali and Abu Bakr. We started on our six hours journey to the mountain of Arafat, an hour's sojourn, at which, even in a state of insensibility, confers the rank of Haji. It is a mountain spur of about 150 feet in height, presenting an artificial appearance from the wall encircling it and the terrace on its slope, from which the Imam delivers a sermon before the departure of his congregation from Mecca. His auditors were indeed numerous, their tents being scattered over two or three miles of the country. A great number of their inmates were fellow subjects of ours from India. I surprised some of my Mecca friends by informing them that Queen Victoria numbers nearly 20 millions of Muhammadans among her subjects. On the 5th of June at sunset, commencing our return, we slept at the village of Muzdalifa, and there gathered and washed seven pebbles of the size of peas to be flung at three piles of white-washed masonry known as the Shaitans of Munay. We acquitted ourselves satisfactorily of this duty on the festival of the 6th of June, the 10th day of the Arabian month Zul Hija. Each of us then sacrificed a sheep, had his hair and nails cut, exchanged the ihram for his best apparel and, embracing his friends, paid them the compliments of the season. The two following days, the Great, the Middle and the Little Satan, were again pelted, and bequeathing to the unfortunate inhabitants of Munay, the unburied and odorous remains of nearly 100,000 animals, we returned 8,000 strong to Mecca. A week later, having helped to insult the tumulus of stones which marks, according to popular belief, the burial place of Abu Lahab, the unbeliever who, we learn from the Quran, has descended into hell with his wife, gather of sticks, I was not sorry to relinquish a shade temperature of 120 degrees, and wend my way to Jeddah en route for England, after delegating to my brethren the recital of a prayer in my behalf at the tomb of the Prophet at Medina. In penning these lines, I am anxious to encourage other Englishmen, especially those from India, to perform the pilgrimage, without being deterred by exaggerated reports concerning the perils of the enterprise. It must, however, be understood that it is absolutely indispensable to be a Muslim, at least externally, and to have an Arabic name. Neither the Quran nor the Sultan joins the killing of intrusive Jews or Christians. Nevertheless, two years ago, an incognito Jew who refused to repeat the creed was crucified by the Mecca populace. And in the event of a pilgrim again declaring himself to be an unbeliever, the authorities would be almost powerless to protect his life. An Englishman who is sufficiently conversant with the prayers, formulas and customs of the Muslims, and possesses a sufficient guarantee of orthodoxy, need, however, apprehend no danger if he applies through the British consulate at Cairo for an introduction to the Emir al-Hajj, the Prince of the Caravan. Finally, I am most anxious to recommend as Mutawwaf at Mecca, Sheikh Muhammad, Umar, Fener, Jizada. He is extremely courteous and obliging, and has promised me to show to other Englishmen the same politeness which I experienced from him myself. 1862 A.D. 1278 A.H. Al-Hajj, Abdu'l-Wahid.

Okay guys, you've got two minutes. Position, please. We're gonna be fine, we're gonna be fine. Remind me again why we're wearing the suits. Oh, because they said, make it jazzy. And we decided that that meant suits. If you got some mistake. I feel like an enterprise Java developer or something. Didn't come along, actually. Do we have time to change it? Uh... Ooh. Uh... Let's change it. Come on, Jake, come on, we don't have time for this, mate. We'll be fine, we'll be fine, we'll be fine. Whoa, Jake, you need those. Sorry about that, I just... I feel so much more comfortable now. Okay, you've got ten seconds, get ready. Oh, uh... We're not jazzy enough. I don't know what we can do about it now. Uh... Can you play that? Chrome Dev Summit 2016 is everybody doing in the room. The front? Yeah! The front gets it. The left? Yeah! The right? And the live stream? Wait, that's not gonna work. Yeah, that's not gonna work. Yeah. Actually, speaking of the live stream, if you are joining us on the live stream, thank you so much. There'll be viewing parties around the world, people in their offices, in their homes. Thank you for joining us, and it's lovely to have all of you here. We know it's very busy, and that's awesome that you've made the journey to come and see us today. Absolutely. We also have some, uh, you know, matters to deal with before we get on with the show. We absolutely do. One of those things is the Code of Conduct. We have a Code of Conduct. It has all good conferences, all conferences should have. It goes something like this. You know, we encourage you to be excellent to each other by saying hi to new faces and building on one another's ideas and reporting any uncomfortable experiences, of course. And we have a zero-tolerance policy for harassment of any kind. And please do share your experiences, like the positive or negative, with speakers and the staff. And the Code of Conduct is posted around the building and on the website. Apologies for reading that from my phone. It's the official statement. I want to get it right. But from a personal perspective, like, we've been in the industry now, over 10 years, we're kind of part of the old crowd now. And I don't know if it's too optimistic to say that in that time, things have started to get better, a little bit slowly, but surely. But it feels like now, more than ever, like, we need to double down. You know, we need to be kind to everyone, welcoming to everyone, and we need to be heroes to those who aren't having a great experience. No matter what's happening out there, we need to make it right in here, in this industry. So we've got two days' worth of talks, breakout sessions, code labs, panels. And, I mean, as the talks are done, the videos will start to go up onto the website as well. So keep an eye out for those. And you can also set notifications for any sessions you're actually interested in on the website as well. You're shilling for some work that you did. You did the notifications, didn't you? Don't know what you're talking about. Right. You've heard enough from us. We should get things started. And no finer way than to do that with the keynote, with the VP of Chrome's engineering, Darren Fisher. Please give it up for Darren Fisher.
