Well, I think certainly we were able to get a lot of practice defensively. Our defense penalty corner unit, we've had a couple of changes with the staff, if you will, of our defense penalty corner. And they had a lot of opportunities to defend, and we did quite well. I mean, statistically, we shut down a lot of their corners. And we were learning how to defend a great smooth passing team with good stick skills. So we learned a lot from this game. They're the number one team for a reason. And I think we fought them hard throughout. We never gave up. And I'm hoping that we can take these things that we've learned and beat the teams that we should be. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, we've changed up our attack penalty corners. Did a lot of looking and probability and stat was not my class either in school. But I was looking at some things, some numbers, and not just for Stevenson University, but D3 field hockey in general. And attack penalty corners don't do so well. And it's primarily because of the surface, because it's not the true carpet surface where you can find true success with attack penalty corners. So we're doing something different, something that I've never seen it before. So I'm excited about that and we're executing on it. And I'm hoping we can give some more teams some struggles with that new APC. I think, yeah, I think Tanner is definitely up on the forefront. And she's dynamic and she's fast and she's aggressive. And then Noel is also a fabulous finisher. And then we've just changed up our system. So now we're going from a two forward system to a three forward system. So we've got a lot of people that are rotating and vying for that third forward spot. And they're all very good and have the ability to put the ball in the net as well. So it's an exciting time to try and gain some opportunities. I mean, I think the positives are is that, for example, against York, we really struggled in that game and the kids got very down and didn't respond like they needed to. And we talked about that. So it was such a mental game.  We're going to take every single game as a one goal game because that's really what it comes down to. So if they score a goal, then it's still one nothing in our eyes. If they score two goals, it's still one nothing in our eyes because you got to take it one goal at a time. And certainly the opposite way as well. So hopefully in the future we'll be scoring those one goals in a lot of them.

Here we are in QuickBooks Desktop Bank feed practice file we started up in a prior presentation going through the setup process we do every time in the view drop down we got the hide icon bar open windows list checked off open windows open on the left reports drop down company and financial looking at that p and l profit and loss changing the range from<PHONE_NUMBER>22 customize it fonts and numbers changing the font up to 14 okay yes and okay reports drop down again company and financial this time the balance sheet standard report going to customize it first change the range 010122 to 123122 then fonts and numbers to change that to 14 okay yes and okay now let's open up the bank feeds going to the banking drop down bank feeds we have the bank feed center which would only be there if you had bank feeds turned on which we did in a prior presentation we're now going to be going over to the unrecognized items we're looking at the deposit side of things I'm going to filter my transactions to just see the deposits and then I'm going to then organize them thusly and so now just a quick recap if I go back to the home page remember that we're thinking about the easiest system in general and then we'll take steps away from the easiest system focusing in on just the revenue cycle the ultimate end of the revenue cycle being cash coming into the company typically from customers the easiest kind of industry would be like gig work getting paid from platforms for example if you're like a youtube platform or a teaching platform or stuff like that and then we can wait till it clears the bank use the deposit form to record the income which is not natural for the accounting process because usually the forms to record income even on a cash basis is this create sales receipt and on a accrual basis it's the invoice so as we use the bank feeds we're going to think about what kind of tweaks we need to do given the fact that we're using a deposit form instead of these natural forms and then later we'll talk about using these other forms and how the bank feeds can fit into that kind of system so if I go into the profit and loss here we're focusing in on these income accounts and we're going to be able to see in the bank feed where the money came from so then the question is as I add them into the income accounts what accounts do I want to put in place this is where we're going to add more detail and this is where we're going to deviate from the standard rule of having fewer income accounts and not naming the income accounts after a customer and the reason we don't normally do that is because normally we can support what's on the income statement with these other reports the sales by customer breaking out income by customer and the sales by item breaking out what we sold in more detail items service items and inventory items we can't do that if we use the deposit form to record the sales therefore we're more likely in this kind of business going to just name our income accounts like amazon income or something like that okay so that's what we're going to continue doing let's go back to the bank feeds and let's just take a look at one of these like here's an amazon dot com now amazon's an unusual one here's just a good example of where you might have one platform that pays you for multiple different things and you can see this on both the income side of things and the expense side of things we have a similar kind of scenario where you're paying one vendor for example on the expense side of things for multiple different categories of expenses here we're paying we're getting income from one customer but they might be paying us for multiple things amazon might you might have video content on amazon prime or something that you're paying you for you might be doing affiliate marketing that you're getting paid for various other things there might be different locations that you would like to break out in some more detail on your account so that the ways we can break that out then is one they have differences in the name sometimes and then two they have differences in the bank memo and we can use that in the rules to allocate to different different areas as as would be applicable so let's let's first do let's just do this one so i've got see these two are slightly different so i'm gonna put this one and i'm gonna add a pay e now the next question is if i add a pay e do i just want to call it amazon or do i want to create multiple different customers we can do either way because we're gonna have to we might want to make a rule that distinguishes based on these items i don't need to create a different customer i could just say amazon and then make a rule based on the data here and the data here to apply different transactions however maybe it would be easier for me when i go to my vendor center to be able to organize my not the vendor center customer center if i go to my customer center maybe it would be easier for me to organize by customer and have different customers for the types of things that i'm being paid for so i'm going to close out the vendor center here that's going to confuse me close that out so i'm going to create actually different vendors here so i'm going to say this is going to be amazon dot com comma i n c and then i'll say a tab i'm going to quick add this this is going to be a customer so make sure i should make sure to change that one and then the account that it's going to go to i'm going to i'm going to pretend this this is amazon prime so i'm going to say amazon i'm just making this up amazon prime like that they're paying me for video content on amazon or amazon prime i'm imagining that so i'm going to say tab and we'll set that up and then it has to be an income type of account so i'm going to say it's an income account everything else looks good i'm going to say save it and close it and then before i add it let's make a rule go into the add more details i need a rule there are rules here this isn't crazy this isn't anarchy so we're going to go in here and say let's make a new rule and i'm going to have to distinguish it with this item and if that wasn't distinguishing enough then i'd have to also distinguish it from the memo information so i'm going to name the rule amazon and i have to name it something that's also distinguishing so i'm going to say income and then we could imagine all or or uh any i'm going to keep it at all the description here i'm not going to say it has to match but contains and in this case if i just go to amazon.com i and c that's enough to distinguish but if it were not i could add another line and possibly use the memo line which would then possibly have something in the memo that would be a distinguishing factor and i could say hey if it meets both of those conditions then you're going to then you're going to want to use this rule as opposed to possibly another rule you also could imagine that if the income is always the same for whatever reason you can use a amount condition and and use that one but in this case i'm going to close this back out and say let's save that and that looks good save it and close it so now that one has been pulled over here and then on the recognized transactions on the deposit side of things we should have that here's the deposit side of things these these amazon items pulled over not all of them though because we still have some other amazon items let's go to the deposits this way and then amazon there's still a couple other ones that have some different descriptions that didn't pull over with the rules so if i go to the balance sheet then balance sheet checking account now i might want to start filtering my checking account so that i could filter by deposits so this is a nice tool customizing i can then go into the filters and filter by type which is down here by type transaction type i'm going to just look for the deposits and that'll make it a little bit easier hopefully and so there's that amazon item i put in double clicking on it it's a deposit form we can see there double clicking on it there's the deposit form and there it is closing this out closing this out if i go to my customer center and the open windows now i've got my customer setup note you could add these items by just assigning an account without a customer but you don't want to do that because you want to have the added detail of the customer here note also that if i go into the profit and loss that i cannot sort this data with my sub ledgers if i go to the reports drop down sales and i look at my sales by uh by customer detail for example from 010122 to 123122 notice it only has that one invoice we made before it doesn't have i can't sort by customer here because i used a deposit form and and and that's not the form typically used so so that's quick book says that's why we have to add like the customer names in like the income accounts which we normally wouldn't do right so and then i can go to the reports drop down again i can go let's look at the sales by item summary uh and so once again<PHONE_NUMBER>22 this is the items that we would sell we didn't add any items because we just entered it with a deposit form so we can't have that supporting information this way either that's why we're more likely to add the names directly into the income statement income accounts all right let's do another one let's say we go back to the bank feeds and let's say that we're going to do a google one so here's google let's imagine that that we're what we're doing uh youtube right youtube thing so again and you might have multiple googles because here's another area where we've got google youtube versus google adsense so if those were different distinguishing in some way then maybe you distinguish those out i'm just going to call let's do google youtube once again i'm going to create a different customer if i'm going to create a different account as well which you don't need to do because you could do it with just the rule but it might make it easier to sort in your customer center the customers that are distinguishing what you what you use what you what the income source was so i'm going to say boom let's set that up quick add it it's going to be a customer not a vendor on account i'm just going to call youtube income right and that which is totally a generic kind of uh income i'm going to say tab and set it up and it's going to be an income account income account right there and save it let's make a rule for it hitting the items for the more detail i'm going to make a rule there are rules here here we go let's just make a rule this is going to be google youtube rule and then so so i'm going to make the description i don't need it to match but just contain but i want to make sure that it contains that component which is distinguishing from another item if it if it if it needed another distinguishing factor i might use the memo but we're good here so we don't need to add another line it's going to go to youtube income i'm going to say okay save it to the registrar to have them uploaded here and if i go to the recognized stuff and sort by the deposits now we've got google income let's take take a look at the balance sheet double clicking on the checking account customizing it filters let's look at the transaction type and the deposits and okay so now we should have one for google there it is and closing this back out closing this back out the other side's going to the income statement profit and loss now also note that some of these might be similar you might say well maybe amazon and google are like content income so you might create like a parent account possibly and have these subsidiary accounts to the parent account so you can collapse them and expand them with something like an arrow here so we might experiment a little bit with some stuff like that later so let's do another one here let's go back to the to the bank feeds let's go back to unrecognized sort by the deposits and then let's try another one with that amazon let's pretend that we had another amazon dot com and this california let's pretend this was book sales right here so we've got a book that we sold it's making massive revenue so let's say that this one is going to be uh and i'll make a net so again i could use the same customer and that would be fine because then i can still distinguish making a different rule to the same customer or i can make another customer so i'm going to make another customer amazon dot com but then dot california tab quick add customer not and then the account i'm just going to call this amazon book sales and then set that up as an income account let's just say income okay let's make a rule to it even though i don't think we have any other ones on this one but just in case we sell any more of these books i'm just making books up by the way so that looks good let's set up a rule and then we're going to say this is going to be amazon dot com dot california and we've got the distinguishing factor here i'm going to say description let's say it just contains i don't need this last payment bit just as long as it's got that dot california it should be distinguishing from the other rule so it should be good so we'll say save it and close it save and move on over to the register so then it's been added here i don't think there is any other ones that pulled over to recognize because this was the only one if i go to the balance sheet sort it or double check on the checking account customizing filtering and then checking it out by transaction type and saying we want to see just the deposits boom so there's the amazon here's the two amazons that one and that one and then this one is prime this one was the book sales we have to the split account right there and then if i close that back out on the income statement now we've got another category for amazon book sales which you can you can see this is getting quite a lot of income accounts which is unusual that you wouldn't normally do that unless you're you have this kind of gig work business because you might just call this you know all kinds of service income or content income and then break it out with the sub ledger accounts normally breaking out by customer and item but gig work kind of thing we're depending on the deposits therefore we don't have the sub ledgers so we might add more of the actual customers in the income accounts so let's do another one let's go back to the bank feeds and go okay let's try deposits again deposits and let's do audible so audible here i'm going to say so this is like audio books so i could say audible tab quick add customer and then we can say okay now like i said we normally we would make an account maybe called audio books and then the audible audible being one of the people that pay us to audio books if we had multiple of them but since we can't break out the detail i'm going to call it audible audible directly audible and i might say audio book income or just also say audible income audible income tab and then we'll say set it up and it's going to be an income account income and save it and then we'll go to the drop down and add more detail so we can do a a rule and let's just call it an audible rule an audible rule can you hear it it's an audible rule so there we're going to say it's going to be a description it's going to contain all i need is audible i don't really need the edi so that should do it right there let's go ahead and save it and save to the register pulls it over here and the other ones should pull over to the recognized area if i sort by deposit i should just add some of these there's the audible ones so if i go to the balance sheet double click on the checking account we can then sort the checking account filtering by transaction by transaction where's the transaction there boom deposit bam and so now we should have one for audible which is right there closing it back out and then go into the profit and loss the other side is in the audible income all right let's go back on over and say let's go to the bank feeds again and this time i'm going to go back to the unrecognized i'm going to sort by deposit and then let's pick up an interest income so interest income let's say that this came from the bank i'm just going to make a generic bank tab quick add which you could put as a customer it's probably more better other because you might have things going in and out related to the bank so we're going to say okay let's make it a customer and then there's nothing in the memo because it's just an interest payment so okay and then the account it's going to go to would be interest income because this is an increase for the income now if you had your chart of account set up from when you made up the the file you might have an interest income account we don't so i'm going to add it i'm just going to call it in interest income tab set it up now this one you could put in as an income a normal income account but because income from interest is not my primary income i would typically put it down here in other income so it's going to show up on the bottom of the income statement because it's not part of our primary income save it and close it let's add the rule to it add some more details a rule lot of rules here yeah this is if you're under my roof bank fees there's going to be a lot of rules around here interest payment so we're going to say this is going to be money in uh this is going to be all description match it just it's going to contain all i need is really interest maybe a payment all we need is interest i think and then it's going to be a bank that looks good let's save it and then save to the register so that should pull over here and in the recognized area sorting by the deposit we then have the interest items there they are here so let's go back on over to the banking i won't double click i won't check that one again because the banking is fairly straightforward we've got the increases there i'm fairly confident of on the income statement we didn't put it in the income side up top but made other income down here in the same area we put the unrealized gains and losses that being the difference so that now we've got income from ordinary operations and then the other kind of random stuff that isn't part of our normal operations to get to the bottom line okay so that's going to be the general idea of it so we've got a lot more kind of income accounts than we might have if we weren't in a gig war kind of situation we named them after like who actually paid us which is kind of unusual but something you often do uh if if you're going to try to record things directly from the bank feeds uh and that's going to be the the general idea so we got later we're gonna add we're gonna have to add all these rules stuff in here so we'll do that at some future point for now just remember it's useful to look at the trial balance to get an idea of where we stand from 010122 to 123122 let's customize it fonts and numbers and bring it up to 16 16 okay yes and okay so note if you can just imagine this being assets or know where the cuts are liabilities equity income which are all these income accounts now and then the expenses then you can and then other income and expenses you can then look at at this report as a nice report to check as you're entering or adding the bank feeds to drill down on to the transaction detail and the source documents to get a good understanding of what's happening


Narcissists love to argue with you. They love to persuade you into doing things that you don't want to do. They love to express their diversion or opposite views in a heated or angry way. They enjoy disagreements or quarrels. They enjoy finding faults with you. Narcissists are known to be very argumentative. Their arguments tend to be unproductive. They don't produce any positive results. They just waste your time and energy, leaving you worse off than before the argument. They can be very difficult to deal with as they believe that only their opinions or views hold any weight. They will often demand something without giving anything in return. There's no equal exchange. Only their way of thinking and seeing things matters. They don't care what you think. They don't care about how you want things to be when you try to confront them or stand up for yourself. They will just drag you into an argument where they will then point out your faults and punish you for everything that you saw wrong in them. Narcissists love to argue with you because they need to be in control. They need to have the power to direct your behaviour and the cause of events. They need to maintain influence and authority over you. They need to have the capacity to have an effect on your character, development and behaviour. They need to have the power to give orders, make decisions and enforce obedience. They have to be in control and they will use control through forms of communication. They will talk to you in an authoritative way. They will act commanding and self-confident as though they are someone who should be trusted as being honest and reliable. They may come across as being stubborn, as being determined to not change their attitude or position on something, even in spite of good arguments or reasons to do so. They may have rigid opinions or a narrow outlook. They may be unwilling to consider different ideas or opinions. They may give you ultimatums. This is all to get you to play their game. Once you start playing their game, it gives them the opportunity to win and all narcissists really care about is winning, which is why they love arguing with you. They love the game. It's what they live for. But as Ross Rosenberg says, Never wrestle with a pig.  So try to stay out of the wrestling ring when you are dealing with a narcissist. Don't get pulled into their game. When you are in an argument with a narcissist, you shouldn't care about winning. You need to stay true to yourself and focus on getting your point across. Making them understand what you are saying. You may want to present a good impression to the narcissist. You may believe that if you can present your thoughts, feelings and needs in a clear and reasonable way, then maybe the narcissist will think that you are a decent human being. Maybe then they will understand you. Maybe then they will treat you with the respect that you deserve. But it never works out in that way because they believe that they are superior to you. So they can treat you any way that they like. You can't change their mind because they believe that they are above you. They believe that they are superior. So they believe that they should have the final say in any disagreement. Narcissists are self-absorbed and lack empathy. While disagreements may occur in all relationships, a lack of empathy does not. In a healthy relationship, there will be empathy. There will be an opportunity for both people to say what they want to say. Where you can then exchange understanding and respect. But this doesn't happen with a narcissist. They don't have that kind of mentality. It doesn't matter what you say or how you say it. Because they are not capable of understanding you. They don't even want to understand you. Which is why they will often show you that you are unworthy of their consideration. The narcissist hates your confidence. They hate that you believe you have the necessary abilities, knowledge or skill to do something successfully. They hate that you believe you are efficient and capable.  Because they have a critical mindset. They are prone to expressing adverse or disapproving comments or judgments. Because that is how they feel about themselves. But rather than going within and acknowledging that, they would rather project it onto you. They cannot respect your confidence. They cannot respect your belief in yourself and your own abilities. Because they lack respect for themselves. When you disagree with the narcissist, they will try to keep you off balance. They will often question you in a way that makes you question yourself. Not for the purpose of learning more about how you think about the situation.  Narcissists are shame based individuals. Who are doing everything they can to avoid reflecting on their shame. So they will often take the opportunity to project their shame onto you. This is the language that they have learned growing up. This is their way of expressing themselves. So it is how they are going to communicate with you. Every time you confront the narcissist, we disagree with them on something. This is the kind of mindset they are going to have. But it is not your responsibility to make them respond differently to you. And if you are trying to make them respond differently, you have already lost. You need to have a mindset where you are not trying to wrestle with the narcissist. Remember the quote from Ross Rosenberg. Never wrestle with a pig.  The narcissist will try to keep you off balance. They will interrupt you and try to confuse you. They will mislead you from the original point that you were trying to make. But you need to stay centered. You need to remain well balanced and confident within yourself. Responding rather than reacting to the narcissist. When you are engaging with them, don't depend on them to tell you whether or not you are making sense. Ask yourself. Trust your own intuition. Ask yourself. Do I make sense? Do you believe in the point that you are trying to get across? When you believe in yourself, you create the foundation for effective communication. Trusting yourself is very important when you are engaged in an argument. Don't try to persuade them. Don't try to convince them to do something. Because that demonstrates that you are not really sure about what you are saying. You don't need to persuade or convince them. You don't need them to confirm your point of view. They will test your confidence by giving you a negative or unfavorable response. But you can pass this test by not trying to defend yourself. Your defense encourages more offensive behavior from the narcissist.  They are going to do whatever it takes to avoid focusing on the issue. They will often engage in denial, projection, blink shifting and gaslighting. But you have to remain focused on settling the issue. You have to remain focused on producing a definite result. You don't have to force them to understand you. But you should remain firm in who you are and stay true to what you believe in. They may not agree with you, but you need to trust yourself. You don't need to persuade or convince them. They don't have to see things in the same way that you do. You don't need to defend yourself. You can explain yourself once. But it's not your responsibility to make them understand you. You are entitled to make your own decisions, regardless of what the narcissist says or thinks. You don't have to win. It's not about winning. It's about standing up for yourself and what you believe in. The narcissist has this opinion that you are unsatisfactory or inadequate. And nothing you say or do is going to change that because it really has nothing to do with you. You are not the reason why they think in that way. So regardless of how they see you or how they think of you, you should remain firm and confident within yourself. If they don't like it, that's their problem. It's not something that you have to attend to or deal with. Narcissists lack emotional maturity. They lack the ability to respond to you with awareness and introspection. They lack the ability to examine or observe their own mental and emotional processes. And they lack the ability to be in harmony or inconsistency with the circumstances or the culture of the society we live in. So they will play these games. They will try to keep you off balance.  But just remember, you don't need to play this game with them. You can choose to stand up for yourself and what you believe in rather than trying to win or beat them at their own game. And by not playing the game, you will not lose while they continue to play and lose the game every time. Thank you for watching. I hope this video resonates with you.

I'll just give a bit of context. By 2015, there's going to be one billion mobile phones in use in Africa and in a number of these countries where there's still a majority of citizens making their living through agriculture, there's now starting to be a very interesting intersection of how mobile phones can support people in bettering those livelihoods, whether it's through daily market price information, whether reports or other kinds of information or advice hotlines for small scale farmers. There's a number of apps related to this that you'll see throughout the continent. Also, you see in many other areas, some of the earlier ones with proven impact include daily market prices for fishermen in Kerala, India, which actually ended up reducing wasted fish that were never used. It increased farmers, fishermen's profits by 8%, reduced prices by 4% for people purchasing those fish. That's just one very small example. There's, you know, many ways that the advent of, you know, so many people having personal mobile devices can intersect with a lot of the agricultural issues that folks here are talking about. So we thought that it would be best instead of hearing from me to hear from Sue, who is an organic farmer outside of Nairobi. She is also a tech entrepreneur and she won the first round of Apps for Africa with her app called iCOW in 2010 and it has since been growing and having some exciting success. So we thought it would be best to just let you guys speak with her directly. Oh, there's no video. Oh, hi, Sue. Hi, Alana, how are you? I am here. I'm having a great day in Nairobi. There's thunderstorms all over and for some odd reason, connectivity is somehow limited. So I can hear you. Can't see you. Well, now everyone can, to the question we might discuss later about appropriate technology and when to use SMS versus when to use a web that requires a reliable bandwidth. You're seeing it tested here live in action. Well, anyway, so everyone say hi to Sue. Hi. Hi, everybody. And I heard a voice in their high hands. So it would be great if you could just first describe what the iCOW product is to everyone in the room so we can all have a clear picture of it and what in your personal experience inspired you to develop it. OK, I'll start with a description of the application. It basically is a, some farmers describe it as like a mobile midwife. And what iCOW does, it's a feature, a product over mobile phones, it's got seven different features. One of them is a gestation calendar. The other is just access to information. We've got a marketplace as well, iCOW Soco. We've got an alert system where we send out to farmers. And then we also do crowd sourcing from farmers on diseases. What inspired me to develop iCOW, I've been working in the agricultural sector now for the last 14 to 15 years, mainly in the organic sector. And one of the things I've realized is that there is a great dearth and a lack of information for farmers. As I develop my little business, I'm a small scale farmer myself, and as I develop my business, I had to start training farmers with the help actually of Hans there from BioVision. And we did a training program out in just about 130 kilometers out of Nairobi. And it became so evident that there was nothing. Farmers were calling many of our African farmers farmers, but in actual fact, there are people living off the land, trying to echo living off the land without a lot of support. Our extension service doesn't seem to be growing. Our government extension service doesn't seem to be growing at the pace of our population growth, all the farmers needs. So whilst training farmers and helping to develop tools that would educate them, including the organic farmer magazine, which is a magazine that goes out to 20,000 copies of printed a month, and there is a readership of about 200,000 farmers, including the website, again, developed by BioVision, infinite website. I felt like there was a lot of information out there, but the farmers, not enough farmers had access to it. It was a small closed group of organic farmers and it just wasn't widespread enough. And I started thinking about how we could use the mobile phone to disseminate information. It was one day I was lying in bed and I made a phone call to my daughter and she didn't answer. It was probably the best time she didn't answer because I ended up listening to her ringback tone. And I thought, well, why isn't this information, why isn't it useful information? I don't listen to this rap stuff.  So I approached Michael Joseph, who was the CEO then of Safari Common, asked him if I could try doing this and he said, well, it sounds like a good idea. How would you expect to do it? And that started the development of a much bigger voice based system, which I was excited about because I thought I could do it in different languages for farmers that were illiterate and for farmers in different areas in the country. And it brought me into the tech space, which was very new to me and very confusing. And it was actually whilst developing this much bigger platform or trying to that the apps for Africa competition came about. And I was asked by Eric Hersman, who's the founder of the iHub in Nairobi to enter my big product into the competition. I thought I can't do this.  I thought I can't do this. And I thought, but let me take a small component out of the area of livestock, the cow calendar. And we can probably digitize that in a very short time. And that's literally how iCal came about. The first feature on it was the gestation calendar, which was very useful in terms of what happens. The gestation period of a cow was just like a human nine months, but most farmers will continue feeding their animal without really knowing whether the animal is in fact pregnant. They may continue to milk their animal due to the period where it should be resting because it's due to give birth. So the idea was that the system, farmers would sign themselves onto the system and we would send them information. We wouldn't wait for them to ask. We would actually send them information at pertinent times. From the time they registered the insemination date of the cow, 17 days later, we would send them a message saying, watch the cow during this week. If she goes on heat again, she's not pregnant. She has not conceived. You need to re inseminate her. If we didn't hear from the farmer for three months, another prompt that went out was, do a pregnancy diagnostic test. And on June 3rd, 2011, farmers that started using it, they were just, you know, coming back and saying, you know, I've reached eight months and my cow has not gone on heat again. I wish this product had been there before. So that was the first feature and added to that. We decided to do linkages for the AI and the veterinary service in this country so that farmers could access them very quickly. And it's really simple. We just put the two databases on the platform and farmers send the word AI to our short code. The short code is sitting over the three top mobile networks in the country. They get a response saying, where are you? Where's your location? They send the location. And then they get the telephone numbers of all of the AIs within their immediate vicinity or their vets and in fact, now grown on to other extension offices as well. And so what was your sense prior to AI cow and to other mobile agricultural apps? Where were most of the small scale farmers in Kenya getting their information from? If they were getting that information at all and how reliable was it? The gestation of their cows. There were some cow calendars that would go out with the feed manufacturers as you'd find it in the bag of feed. So it was like a lure to get farmers to buy their feed. Other forms of education were going out across many NGOs working in the area. Radio, most farmers would listen to radio but nothing, an extension services on the ground but nothing really comprehensive with massive outreach. And so now that AI cow has been launched for a while what's the current data you have on usage? Do you have any sense of the sort of impact to date or any impact stories you could share with us briefly? We did a survey over a group of farmers when three months after we launched it in September and we asked them a whole bunch of questions and many of them said they were following the information they were getting. Sorry, one of the features I didn't tell you is a information prompt three times a week. So they get information three times a week and hopefully they'll act on it. It's about feed diseases, vaccinations, et cetera all around the value proposition of the cow, how to produce more feed and how to produce your own feed as well. During that survey, there was not a lot of impact that we could see but farmers were following. They said that they were following the information they were getting. Seven months later in January, we took the same group again and did test and surveyed them again asking them similar questions and a few more. And 42% of them said that they actually had increased incomes largely due to increased production of milk and more sale of milk, which was really great. Other impact that was felt was healthier cows, less calf mortality. Some of the AIs on the ground were saying they were getting more business. Some farmers had actually produced feed before they actually had their animals. They were growing feed and now saying they were starting to get ready to buy a cow. Now they knew what the animal needed. And other farmers were saying they had stored feed. They had stored silage. We did a long series of prompts about silage making and they were storing their feed now, heading for the dry times. That's great. So I wondered, part of the Apps for Africa model as I imagine Lynn discussed is having local technologists, local civil society leaders co-create and co-develop solutions to local challenges, you know, where they can bring their local insights to bear in a way that others might not. So Stu, I'd be curious to hear from you. You know, as someone who brought this kind of local insight to bear in a really innovative way, you know, how can the folks in this room be doing more to help support and scale and find local solutions like the kind of work that you're doing? I think one of the advantages that we had is that we had a lot of subject matter expertise. And I think that there is a lot of focus now on the angle of the technical side of things, the techies being the people. Stu? Yes. Yeah, we can hear you, sorry. Okay, sorry. I'll start again. What I was saying is I think that there is a large gap between the people with subject matter expertise and the developers who can actually develop the software. And I think what tends to happen is that there is a lot of concentration on supporting the technologists as opposed to the people who've got subject matter expertise, but one without the other cannot work. And I think that focus needs to shift towards where that subject matter expertise is. I agree. Sorry, just I wanted to see, since we only have just one or two minutes left with Sue, if anyone in the room had any questions for Sue, I'm happy to repeat them to her through the mic. I don't know if she'll be able to hear. Oh, okay. Anyone have questions? Otherwise, I'm happy to ask more questions of my own. Oh, go ahead. Okay. So, Sue, did you hear that? It was asking that sort of your plans for the app in the future and kind of what you see as being the vision of scaling it up. Without a doubt, being a mobile application, we need to scale it with strategic partnerships in the mobile space, and that's what we're working on at the moment. It's not very easy because they're giants and we're tiny. And in order for us to actually have any leverage, we're talking about having to have the numbers and we're marketing the product into the farmer's space. Today, just this morning, we're actually on one of the top radio stations at Kikuyu. It's a vernacular radio station and farmers are joining the platform quite rapidly. But we find that going into strategic partnerships where you've got what I call pretty valuable IP, it's really tough getting those negotiations right with the giants. And I think that support around those areas for young developers, for older developers as well, is quite necessary. I'd like to tell you something really interesting that happened over the last two days though. And this gives you an insight of how technology is going to change the way we do agriculture in Kenya. I'm a member of a Facebook group. It's called Farming Kenya. There are about 850 young farmers on the platform. And I'm really happy they're young farmers who are energetic, they're tech savvy, they're web savvy, et cetera. One of the threads that came up a few days ago was about the plight of farmers across an entire district, thousands, tens of thousands of farmers in the country where the maize seed has actually failed. Maize seed they've planted has grown to two feet high, knee height, and it's just suddenly got a disease and is dying. Nobody knows why. They're not sure if it was a seed that was affected or whatever. But in terms of food security, it's an absolute disaster. It's got nothing to do with climate change. It's got to do with something that happened with the seed. A couple of days later, there was another thread about somebody who, the Kenya Agricultural Research Institution, and he was saying that there was a fellow there who really helped him. And he was asking if anybody appreciates the people that are working in these research institutions. So I sent a list of all of the seed. Can you still hear me? Yes, you dropped out for 10 seconds, but we can hear you. Sorry. So he sent me a list of all of the seed, and many of the seed were fodder seed for livestock. So I quickly put it onto the iCal platform and broadcast it to 9,000 farmers. And broadcast on the SMS that I sent, there was a telephone number of that research institution and sat back and waited to see what would happen. So this was Facebook working with iCal, sending a message out to the farmers. The farmers then called in the research institution. And some of them called us back and said, you've given us a number that doesn't work. And we started to panic. And when we rang them, it turns out that they were so inundated with calls from farmers across the country that they were giving them two minutes only to speak. But many calls were just dropping because they couldn't deal with the traffic. And then some farmers in Nairobi were saying, how is it that we're going to get the seed? And this is the coolest part about it. The institution now is accepting M-Pesa payments for seed. And then they're dispatching the seed by local transport or G4S. So it's a mixture of mobile money, mobile phone, Facebook, and the regular phone and transport. But farmers are getting the seed now really, really quickly. One of them actually, I put a little video up on the discussion that we had because we called the station and I videoed the conversation. And one of the farmers has written and said, it's really cool. My seed has been dispatched and I've got it. It's coming. It's on its way. So it's amazing how technologies are going to change the way we can react to issues on the ground. Well, Sue, thank you so much. Unfortunately, we're out of time. If people want to learn more, you can Google iCow and learn a whole bunch more and maybe download it onto your own phone if you happen to be in the neighborhood. But thank you so much, Sue. We really appreciate you joining us and I hope the weather clears up. My pleasure. Bye-bye, everybody.


Men don't breastfeed each other, you know that. They don't do that, it's not a thing. God, that was such an embarrassing meeting, man. What are you thinking, Matt? Are we live? 27 countries. It's less this year. Yeah, sorry. Honestly. Welcome to episode number 18 of the Marti. And Michael, who's here? I'm fully actual podcast. It's fully actual. This is number 18. We've got 22 episodes left. We're nearly halfway through the year. Why do you think it's the legal age to drink in Australia? It's 18. And the legal age to drink in the United States of America is 21. So it is?   I remember being when you're like 15, you think I'm old enough to drink, but the older you get, the more ridiculous. It seems that you can, because I was a child at 18.  Oh, yeah.  I still am. I shouldn't be allowed to. It should go on based on your maturity levels. I should have a test that tests your maturity.  You don't get any diesel.  I still do, and you do it too. Excuse me. You...  And you've been pretty good lately. You have been weeing. I know, did you wee in any bars last couple of weeks ago? Well, I think so. No. But... But? What about, what's your opinion on drugs? What age do you reckon you should do drugs? Not till later when your brain's done. Yeah, when your brain's done. I reckon like, if you did pingas in high school every weekend, it's gonna be pretty rough in your 20s. A lot of my mates did. And they're all, like, but they're all okay. But, yeah, it did worry me. Like, you don't wanna do them every weekend when you're in high school. Drugs weren't even a thing when we were little pussycats. We just knew about alcohol. We didn't even start pingas till we were like 22. Yeah, that's funny, because when we were 17, going on 18, it was like, pingas and weed, and it was heavy. Even weed, I'd be like...  I don't know, we had to cut then for a second.   Drugs? You're talking about the weekend, what you did? Oh, yeah, I love it though. And just back on drugs quickly. Anyway, moving on now. I googled your 21 drinking age, and I don't know if this is the exact answer, but it kind of annoys me. It says the Drinking Age Act of 1984 basically laid the laws down in America about the illegal drinking age. And it said most of it was enabled in all states because they said here that 10% of their federal highway funding would not be given to them if they didn't make the law 21 in all states. So it was forced by the government to be put in. From what I see, if anyone is from America can explain that in the comments, please do. Well, I see people in Europe and shit, the drinking age is 16, and they're fine. So I guess if you introduce to it slowly, you're sweet.      So just do everything in moderation and be careful out there. I know it's a boring answer, but that's just, we're wise now. What's your back?  What do you do?  Think about it.  Go to the mall? You go to the mall like the teenagers? What did you do from 15 to 17? You got blind. Went to school, Matt. Went to parties. You did not. Went to parties, you went to parties. Went to school every day. From 18 to 21, you just go to parties. Yeah, college parties, all that sort of stuff. Yeah, I don't know. I'm fucking, I'm putting my hands down to that. I reckon they're up to something, but they just got to get other people to buy up for them. Just everyone do anything, all right?  Anyway, this is sponsored by this beautiful podcast is sponsored by Manscaped, all right? We have a new discount code.  Apparently our discount code got leaked on some discount site, right? Oh, wow.

To what? Subscribe. To what? Fully actual. To the actual podcast. Yeah, 100%. I'll believe you, I'll believe you.   He loves pictures. Loves pictures. Good and bad.  Well, man. Yeah, and the weekend, what else did we do? We played golf. At a couple of your family events. I won. I won, I beat James and Matthew Brown. I limped around the golf course cause I've got gout at the moment. These joints were all thick. I got through it though.  I could play golf every day. How nice is that course? I mean, it's not like the best course in the world, but it was very, yeah, in the middle of nowhere. You can hear the birds. We saw last podcast, I saw lots of comments, people being like, explain toca, cause we talk about this sport we've invented. People have asked for, somebody asked for a vlog. Yeah, so I don't want to, cause it'll take ages to explain. You sort of need to be playing it so you can explain it.   Oh, we could do this. I can write up an explanation in letter form. All right, I'll copy that and whoever comments on there, I will put that explanation to the comment that they put. If you do that, they want to know, if they really want to know about toca. Why don't we do this? We'll film it, we'll film it just of the rules and we'll post it to the Marty and Michael fully actual Instagram account. We should patent it. What's patent it mean?  Trademark it? Yeah. So that no one else can ever play it. Yeah. We could sell it. Start a league. No, we'll give it to free. I think everyone, anyone, they already do it. Everyone does it anyway. Yeah. It's probably confusing to people. We've just got different. People, there's probably like hundreds of variations of what we do is what we're saying. We're not saying that people will play this game called toca. Cause well, that's just a name that we came up with. All right.   I think about it. It's a rough explanation and Michael is obsessed with it. Yeah. It's gotten bad. Ever since I became single, I'm just like toca everything. But it's become very competitive. We've all, our experience level at it has grown and we're all getting really good at it.  I wish we were playing now. We are. See? Oh, yeah.   It's just pretty. We met Julian's mom and family today. We haven't met the whole family. That vlog will be out right now. If you're subscribed to the website, we went to Julian's house.  Yeah. Fucked up. So he's beautiful house. Many, many his brothers. Yeah. And man.  His mom is so nice. Michael thinks she's very attractive. No. Okay.  No, I did not say that. I said I would love if she was single, I'd love her for her to look after me like a kid.  To look after me.   That's what you said word for word. Well, I want her to just look after me. I find that she'd be a nurturer. I just want her to tuck me in at night and cook me some dinner and tell me everything's going to be okay. And if she could breastfeed you, you would. You maybe. Definitely.   I just want to move in and for you to look after me. Yeah, with Jordy. Because she reminds me of my mom. But that's sort of weird. I did hear you have a very lovely mother. Yeah. Have you met his mom? No, never. The same sort of, they're just really nice. Like welcoming people. That's what my mom's like. And I can tell that Julien's- Like Julien had the sweetest upbringing. I can guarantee it. He was a menace to them.  She loved him. There's always two sides to every story, man. You never know.  I doubt that from- You never know, all right? You never know. From the outside appearance, it seems like he had the right environment to be a doctor. Julien should be a doctor. I think he is. Well, he films doctors and scientists. He's a part of a practice. He's learning. We teach him our ways and he's getting there. I reckon he could save someone having a heart attack, man.    Some funny stories. Now, Julien's turned out from that. So that's out on the website now if you want to go and have a cheeky peek. I don't know what social media video is out right now. Yeah, we sort of clang-clang-clanged.   Love and seeing the growth. It's fucking, we're getting like, we get more comments on the podcast now than we do like our main YouTube channel.  Yeah, that's what.  It's so good that people get it. So many comments, so many likes. It's just fucking, it's lovely to see everyone. All righty for us. All right. Now, it's time. Now further is time to find out what we all wrote in our diaries on this day.  All right? Now, Matt, you cop on a bit of heat from this because your diary entries are quite fucked, aren't they?  Well, it's like a murderer or a rapist committing the crime and then making a book about it. Hang on, you just related me to a murderer or a rapist? It's horrible. You're using that as an example. That's a horrible example.  No, you just put me on par with Hitler. Okay. It's Dennis Ferguson. No, that's even worse. Okay. All right. Fucking, I don't know.  And he was very detailed, but that helped you get over a very strange mental episode you were going through. Just get on with it. You gotta put it on paper. Sometimes you gotta put it on paper. Just get on with it. But first we'll do mine and Michael's and we'll see how fucked we were back then. Is Julian there? Yeah, Julian's got one. Julian's got one too. His writing's quite messy though. It's hard to translate. Anyway, diary entry number 167 from Michael Corey Brookhouse.  I had custard for breakfast.     And his eyes would be closed.  He'd come... And then on we went either way these days.  Yeah it was bad, okay. Man, surely that's hurt you somehow. Well fuck, I don't know.  Alright. Dioranger number 188 from Marty today I was laughed at by the entire school because someone overheard me speaking German to my mom on the phone The amount of times I've just sat there pointed at him and Pissed myself until he's just slowly walked away as he's been on the phone to his mom It's so good dude you did it the other day I was well behaved but inside I was dying Yeah, that's funny Dioranger number 38 from Julian James Tennyson Woods from Ashgrove or some shit 4060 till I die Don't mess with me. I've got a hammer today. I taught some year fives how to graffiti It's good to recruit them young cuz like that way our gang stays alive if we ever get pinched by the blue dogs Off to find some prostitutes tonight.   Yeah And Matt's of course is quite detailed here. All right, let's see this could be You know, he could be already clearing up mentally could be in a much better place I don't know. I haven't read it. What this one yet Because you know, he did get better as he got older like these thoughts and behaviors faded anyway Dioranger number 1421 from Matthew Gregory Brown Oh It was a still spring evening. I Lazily sat in my room and was watching a fly crawl across my bare chest It felt good and tickled and my nipples hardened The fly flew up and landed on my eye. It continued to crawl from one eyeball to the next I blinked and crushed the fly with my eyelids.    I'm crying in the corner, the boys push off the pipe, man. I lash out at them, I'm saying. I lash out. I lash out at them, I'm crying in the corner. No one's helping me.  We have two parcels. This is the PO Box, it's 256 Tagum 418 Queensland, Australia. You can send us anything. 418.  And we'll open it live.   Tampon. If you wanna join, maybe we haven't had a used nappy, we haven't had vomit in a bag. There's all sorts of things you can send, all right? Oh, we got lollies.

Watch this, everyone. No! Oh, well. I just back in. These are all little dicks, by the way. All the footskin off the table. All of Donut Films' footskin is gone, and it's replaced by dicks. Sure, a little bit. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Bagged. So, Donut Skin himself is here right now. Anyway, you know what I mean? Yeah.  Because you are. Part of you is...  No, that's a waste thing. That's a waste thing. Your hand is... A hand regrows, does it? Let's have a listen to this, Matt. These dicks.  All right, thanks to the dicks. That's... It's different. I want more. They're very good. They did taste very good. I hope these aren't weed. Yeah, I know. I'm terrified.  You can't. I'll just smash two of them or three of them. Fuck.  I've got to get out of here. Can't. I've got to get home. Can't. Oh, this one's hard to open. We have a box, a package. That's what it sounds like in show. It sounds like it could be broken. No. You startled me. Yeah. Yeah, we've got to cry. Some can't. Some days don't send us a bomb. Can't. Hey, whoa. Would you like some scissors?  I've got it now. Mate, it could be. I hope it's not valuable. They're the same. No. Season two, episode 17, 10, 28, Marty, you're going to prison.  Matthew, I need you to get up season two, episode 11 and skip ahead to the time. 10, 28. Question for Marty.  That's all right. Is it? That's the question. I haven't answered it yet.  Well, it's hard. It'd be hard now. Gold bars. In life now, and it'd take like it'd take at least 10 grand. Back in the day, it would be more desperate.  A pineapple, a cheeky pineapple. But yeah, it's probably not worth the risk now. Seven bars of gold. I'll do it for seven. Oh, there is a seven. Damn it. I see.  That's clever. Good. Someone's just sent us seven bars of gold. That's very creative. Fuck, OK. Well, I guess they were listening. Thank you to whoever sent that in. I guess tomorrow we'll go to a playground. And then Marty goes to jail. Maybe I can just pretend that I'm blind or something. Yeah. This was sent in by Patricia. Thank you very much, Patricia. What country is she from? UK. Oh, Patricia. Very creative. I'm going to keep these and sell them.  So thank you for sending them. How long have we been going for? A while now. Should we move the dicks? So you don't eat them? An hour? I've just gone over an hour.  Yeah, I'm just going to eat them. If they are weed, like, we're in for a wild ride. Very good. Can you drive me home if they're weed, Matt? Well, maybe I should eat one then I can have tomorrow off work.  I can take two weeks off.  I'm still in Margo. Hello, Isabel speaking. Oh, hello, my name is Arnold Feyn. I have found your number.  Yes. You walk a dog? OK. I have a funny job for you. Where do you walk at the dog? Where in Breespawn? Southside. South Breespawn, good, good. I have two dogs, two big dogs. And one is a pig. One is roughly 80 kilo pig. Gets along well with the dog.  Why?  And the pig is a very train.  He need exercise. My wife is sick. She and Braden cannot walk him. And our yard is small. Not much room for movement. So I need him walked. And I need him walked by, say, tomorrow you free? What time? No, I'm not free tomorrow. So your pig lives in an apartment? No, at a little townhouse, pig townhouse down at Cannon Hill. And with the dog, with the dog as well, lived with dog, so not alone, it has friend. And I walk, need walking, or it go crazy. Get the fat. Yeah, sorry, I can't help you. Look, I pay, I know it's strange, but I pay premium price for my pig. I pay, I sell to butcher and feed the family.  So whatever you charge an hour, you double. OK, thank you. No, no, no, you come back to me, darling. You do not leave Arnold Fine on the phone.  Where do you live? Oh, God, he's such a beautiful man.    Oh, imagine the three little pigs. Damn it, man. They fucking, they're so quick to hang up this time.  Dog walkers aren't very nice people.   I loved how he goes, the dog gets a very long or very well with the pig. We're the best, we're the best, we're the best, best, best. You gotta tick on your eye, Lee. I wouldn't be the best on you. Fuck.


Let's move forward. I'm talking too much, but the information is just so good, isn't it? Number three, the mind is your greatest asset. You need to understand this. We think it's about our feet. We think it's about what you do with your feet. Yes, your technique is important, but if you don't have this, you're going nowhere in this game and you're going nowhere in life. If you can learn to control this, most people don't realize you're in control of your thoughts. Their thoughts just come into their head and then they're affected by their thoughts.  And if you can control those thoughts, you control your mind, you have so much power. First, you got to understand the importance of mentality. You don't have to totally understand like how to control your thoughts or all the different areas of mental toughness. You don't have to understand that right now. I just need you to know that this thing right here, it's really important. And if you can start figuring this out when you're younger rather than older, you're going to have so much more success, you're going to be way ahead of the game. So understand the importance of mentality. It's the most overlooked area of player development. We just focus on players' feet. This is how you kick a ball. This is how you pass a ball. This is how you dribble. What happens when you're losing? What happens when you get cut from a team? What happens when you had five bad touches in a row? What happens when you missed a penalty shot? How do you come back from these things? That's the real skill right there. That's mental toughness. That's confidence. Okay. And that's a skill. That's something you can improve just like every other area of your game. But I need you to understand that right now. Your body listens to your mind. So if you're getting tired and your mentality is strong enough to say, keep going, your body will listen. If you're getting tired and your mind is weak and it says, okay, that's enough. You can give up now, then the body will listen. The body can do much more than you think, but only if the mind is telling it to do so. So learning to push forward with the mental toughness. It can relate to fitness. It can relate to struggles and obstacles. It can relate to failure. We'll talk all about it. I just wrote down positivity and optimism. For me, like this is the foundation of mentality. I have to truly believe that the future will be better. I have to believe that I'm going to play well today. I have to believe that I can come back from setbacks. If I'm always thinking about the negative and I'm thinking the future is always going to be worse, everything is going to go wrong. Guess what? It will. So I want you to start being extremely positive. Number one, be happy all the time. Okay, my life is so good. I talk about football. I get paid to talk about football. I get paid to make YouTube videos. I pay myself to do it. Other people work in an office. There's fresh air outside. I get to send a home and make good food when I want to eat it. I have enough money to have a roof over my head. I got good friends. I got good people in my life. You know what I mean? I get to play the sport of soccer. How amazing is that? So instead of thinking about all the things that you can complain about, moan about, what can you be grateful about? What makes you happy? So start with positivity. You're on the field. You've got a chance to improve today. Be positive about that. And you know you can improve. You believe in yourself. Remember the last one. It's all on you. Okay, so be positive and be optimistic about the future. If I go into a game and think it's going to go poorly, it will. Be optimistic. Don't get nervous. Get excited. Most people go into a game and they're nervous about, oh, what if this happens? What if that happens? What if this goes wrong? But what if everything goes right? What if I play so well if someone sees me in the stands? What if I play so well, I get more respect from my coach, my teammates? What if I play so well, I score three goals and make three assists? Like when you have that mindset, you're setting yourself up for success. When you have the other one, you're setting yourself up for failure. But you can see I got this. We got the same head. I got a head with a brain inside of it. I'm just choosing to think differently than you. Okay, so think about the mentality and controlling your thoughts. Take control of your thoughts. Confidence is the skill of talking yourself forward and that's just like very basic. Confidence is much deeper than that. But on the surface, it's the skill of talking yourself forward. It's easy to be confident when everything's going well.  It's easy to be confident in that situation. Real confidence comes if times of struggle. I'm playing badly. Confidence is talking yourself forward. It's saying the little voice in your head, right? There's two, right? One is saying, oh, you're not good enough. You'll never be good enough.   The other one's saying, come on. You can do this. You can push forward. Just focus on this voice. Make this voice stronger than this voice.  Okay, but if I'm playing bad, it's talking myself forward. It's like, okay, I'm not playing my best right now, but I can come back from this. I'm just going to make one simple pass. I'm just going to make one tackle. I'm just going to take one shot when I get the chance. Okay, and you talk yourself forward. Oh, I got cut from this team. Okay, what can I learn from this lesson? This happened for a reason to show me that I'm not good enough. I'm going to take this advice and use this as motivation. Just talk yourself forward. That's true confidence. You can't control what happens, but you can always control how you respond. So what happens on the field? The ref makes a bad call. It gives a penalty to the other team. You can't change his decision. So stop wasting energy on it, but you can control how you respond. I don't have to waste my energy moaning or blaming the referee. I'm just going to get ready for this penalty. My goalkeeper is probably going to save it. I'm going to motivate him. I'm going to give him some...  If they score on us, I don't care. I'm going to go back and score two the other way. You can't control what happens. You can always control how you respond. So focus on your responses. Never let yourself get down. Even if you're losing 6-0, but play like you believe in your ability to come back and win 7-6. Adopt the growth mentality. You are either winning or learning. There is no losing. So what I mean by that is you're either within the game. If you lost, yeah, okay, on paper you lost, but you actually learned. And maybe this is a good thing. This keeps you humble. This made you realize that, hey, I'm not good enough at this or I made these mistakes that I got to stop making. Okay, so you're either winning the game and even when you're winning, you should still be analyzing and learning or you're losing. Failure, defeat, losses, those are opportunities for growth and that's when you grow the most. If you're always winning and you're always succeeding and everything's easy, you're not getting any better. Come on. You need to get knocked down. You need to be humbled. Is that correct? That is correct. You need to be humbled. Okay, so losing failure. Never try to lose, but when you do, just realize this happened for a reason. This is learning experience. This is an opportunity for growth. You're always growing. Change the way you look at failure. When you realize that failures and mistakes and losses and defeats, obstacles, struggles, these are actually opportunities for growth. Guess what? You're no longer afraid of failure. It's okay if you try and you fail because that's an opportunity for growth. Okay, so change the way you look at failure. You're not scared by failure. Failure is part of success. The people who are the most successful have failed the most. They didn't succeed their way to success straight line. It doesn't work like that. They got knocked down way more than you. That's why they were further ahead of you. They failed, they got up, they failed again. They got up, they failed, they got up and they learned and learned and learned. The more you fail, the more you can learn if you have that mindset. If you get discouraged by failure and I wrote that as well, losers get discouraged by failure. Losers fail and they give up or they stop playing for a bit or they get super negative. Winners, when they fail, when they lose, they get more motivated. It gives them more energy. You don't want winners to lose. If you're playing against winners, you don't want them to lose because guess what? They come back twice as strong. That's the mindset that you need to have. Losing motivates you. It fires you up. It makes you work harder. Regret and minimization mindset. I just want you to think about this and want you to start adopting this right away. Basically, what that means is, like I said in the very beginning, you'll never regret trying. You'll always regret not trying. So, for example, if it was a penalty shootout and the coach said, hey, are you going to take a shot? You said no because you were too afraid to fail. You will always regret that. You won't regret going up, taking the shot, missing the shot, getting the shot saved. You'll feel better about that because you actually tried. Maybe not in the moment, but when you look back on that experience, you'll say, you know what? I'm glad that I did that because it gave me the strength to try next time. It gave me the information to make a better shot next time. So, you need to remove regrets from the way that you play and the way that you live. If there's an opportunity to go for a tryout, but you're like, oh, the tryouts next week, but I'm not ready. I'm not going to go. I'm just going to wait until next year. Screw that. Go anyways. You don't want to go. You don't want to regret. Live without regret. So, when things scare you, just do them anyways. Just do them anyways. Even if you don't think you're ready, even if you don't think you're not good enough, just do them anyways because the lesson that you learned from that, sometimes you'll surprise yourself. You'll perform under the pressure, especially when you have this new mindset. You're not afraid of failure anymore, but you'll always regret not trying. I should have took that shot in the game. I shouldn't have asked for a sub. I should have just toughed it out and played longer. Don't regret. Live without regret. Okay? Regret, mineralization mindset. If you want to get away from being nervous all the time or scared or always overthinking, you have to learn to be present. And what I mean by that is, if I'm always thinking about the past, then I'm always sad. Or what's, it's a quote. I'm trying to recite a, who is it? Confucius? Laosu? I don't know. It's a quote and it's like, if I'm always sad, if I'm sad, I'm living in the past. If I'm anxious, I'm living in the future. If I'm at peace, I'm living in the present. Okay? So, if I'm always thinking, and let's apply it specifically to football, if I'm always thinking about how I screwed up last game or the mistake, there's a mistake I made the last time the ball came to me, how can I focus on what's happening right now? Okay? Or if I'm already thinking about screwing up and my teammates yelling at me when I missed the shot and I haven't even taken the shot yet, how can I focus on the technique? So, what you need to learn to do is become present in the moment. When that ball's on my feet, I'm not thinking about the last time I screwed up or screwing up in the future. I'm thinking about what I'm doing with the ball. I'm thinking about the technique that I'm putting on it with my feet. I'm thinking about the technique of the past or the technique of the shot. So, learn to be present in the moment, and then you don't have to be sad or frustrated about what you did in the past or scared about what could happen in the future. You just focus on the moment and doing your best in the moment. So, think about the idea of presence, learning to be more presence and being aware of your thoughts. Am I actually focusing on what I'm doing? Or am I thinking about what did go wrong or what could go wrong? Come back to the moment. It's going to help you with your mentality. And finally, I just want to say on the on the topic of mindset, it's like, do not let the opinions of other people hold you back. Don't let someone else who gave up on their dreams discourage you from chasing yours.  If one coaches have thought I was bad, I was going to swear, but we'll keep it PG for the kids. Other coaches have thought I was bad. That didn't mean I stopped playing or stopped growing. Maybe when I was younger, I let that get to me. Okay, but don't let the opinion of one coach stop you from impressing another coach because different coaches see different players in different ways. Don't let other players, teammates, opponents, don't let their opinion discourage you. If anything, let it motivate you.  Don't let your past self, don't let a past game affect your opinion of yourself. Just because you played bad in one game doesn't mean you're a bad player. All good players have bad games is how you come back from those games. Just because you weren't as good as you wanted to be last season doesn't mean you can't have the best season of your life this season. Okay, so don't let the past hold you back. Don't let other people's opinions hold you back. Don't let other coaches hold you back. Don't let other players hold you back using this motivation to push forward and move forward. So I just want to give you one actionable step on the thing of mindset other than adopting that growth mentality and changing the way you look at failure. I need you to eliminate this phrase from your vocabulary. You never say this again. I can't. You're not allowed to say that. If you want to follow my content, if you want to be one of my players, you're not allowed to say that. I can't. You can't say that anymore. That's the only way that you say that. You can't say I can't.  No, I can't. Do you have the ability? If you improve enough? Yes, you can. I can do this. I will do this. I'll find a way to do this. I'll become good enough to do this. Okay, so stop saying, oh, you got to score a goal today. I can't do it. You got to defend this guy. I can't. You got to go to that trial and make that team. I can't. Stop saying that. Don't let yourself say that I can. I will. I'll find a way. I'll get the information. I'll learn how to do it. I can. I can. Eliminate. I can't from your vocabulary. Number four.


Hi, and welcome to the Scrum Master certification program. In this course, we're going to specifically prepare you to facilitate the work of your Scrum teams.   And the goal of any particular Scrum Master is helping to support the success of their Scrum team by helping to identify and remove potential roadblocks to their performance, by helping to coach and mentor them in the use of Scrum practices, and effectively by helping all of the different stakeholders to really make sure that their needs are met. In this course, we're going to talk about some of the key aspects of Scrum. We'll talk about the Scrum meetings and how you may want to help facilitate those, certain techniques you can use to help your teams identify and resolve issues, and how you can effectively integrate Scrum practices within your team with other teams that may be working in larger programs and portfolios. It's very good to have you as part of the program. I'm glad you've chosen us to help you learn how to be an effective Scrum Master. I suspect you'll enjoy the course. Good luck with you as you go. Hi, my name is Patrick Von Schlag and I'm going to be serving as the instructor for your Scrum and Agile programs this week. One of the things that's very important about the emergence of Agile practices and Scrum in particular is that it does a very good job of helping to bridge an important gap in our organizations between the goals and objectives of business people and the activities and execution of technical people, both in development teams and operations and support teams. One of the things I've done throughout my career, both in terms of working with Scrum and working with other types of frameworks like Idle or Prince II or COVID or other frameworks, is to really consider the notion of how we do IT business alignment. How do I understand in a meaningful and functional way what my customers' needs are? And how do we do a better job in IT of provisioning and delivering the right size than right approach to be able to deliver and support those solutions effectively? So when you consider the role that Scrum and Agile play, it's very much about creating the appropriate collaborative environment between specific individuals on the customer side and the business side working together with people working in the technology side to be able to produce effective solutions together. So I see Scrum and Agile practices as a very specific way to realize a much bigger promise. How do we integrate IT practices with business practices in a way that drives overall governance and improvement? So we are very grateful that you're deciding to take part in our programs. I hope that you'll look at these programs in the broader context, not only of how you carry out and execute software development projects, but the role that this plays in the larger goal of delivering good business value to your customers. In this lesson, we're going to introduce the structure of the Scrum Master Certification course and help you get familiar with your course materials. We'll talk a little bit about learning structures, a little bit about how to use your materials based on your particular learning style to get full advantage of the curriculum, and a little bit about the certification exam and how you get ready. This particular class prepares you for a Scrum Master Certification program. Ideally, you've already had at least some exposure to Scrum for the Scrum Developer Certified Programs or some other type of introduction to Scrum. That said, if you haven't had that, don't worry too much. We'll go over the core concepts you're going to need to be successful. One of the benefits associated with taking part in this particular program is access to an exclusive mentoring community where people who are working in Scrum and Agile practices across the world are working together to learn these capabilities and to share good practices across organizations. To take advantage of this mentoring community, log in to LinkedIn and go and enter the group called MyScrum slash Agile Mentoring Community. Take a moment to introduce yourself, and please use this community as a vehicle to communicate and ask questions about use of Scrum practices and certainly about preparation for Scrum and Agile certifications. As you work your way through the program, there are a number of very basic questions. I want you to take some time to think about as you work through this. Why exactly is it important that you learn these particular skills in being able to work on your particular Scrum team? Are there certain ways that you learn more effectively whether it's through reading, through repeating portions of this exercise, and how exactly can your existing experience help you understand the particular techniques and capabilities we're gonna introduce in here? In particular, I encourage you to make a specific plan for getting benefits from the course. How exactly is it that you're going to take the knowledge and skills you gain in this program and bring it out into your organization to support your work and the work of your teams in improving your overall capabilities and performance within your organization? When knowledge professionals try to identify a set of skills or capabilities intended from a particular program and training, one skill set or one model that they use is called Bloom's Taxonomy. Bloom's Taxonomy has six levels from raw knowledge up through advanced skills like synthesis and evaluation of capabilities. In this particular course, we're going to operate most of the course at levels one and two, basic knowledge and comprehension, with a little bit of opportunity for you through some of the exercises to consider how to apply certain techniques in a way that's going to help improve the performance of your Scrum teams. As you work your way through the course, one of the things you wanna be able to ask yourself is what exactly and how exactly can you take advantage of and use the different materials that are here, as well as various third-party materials available on the web, what kinds of questions can you ask of your peers or your instructor through the mentoring community, and then specifically to set expectations for yourself to really make these skill sets your own. In order for you to be an effective member of a Scrum team, you really have to get a clear understanding of why this matters to your organization, why this is gonna help you and your teams to be more productive and more effective and also give you a lot more control over the work and the outcomes that you deliver. One of the things we encourage you to do is to put together a formalized schedule for your study. Whether you're taking the class one hour at a time or even just a few minutes at a time, you wanna be able to try to spend dedicated time when you do your studying, to turn off your cell phones, not be checking email and to spend your energy focusing on the things that we're talking about and giving yourself the freedom, for example, to listen to different sections of the course again and again as you feel you need to. As you work through your study plan, you wanna establish as with any other project, certain milestones, create opportunities for you to review, material that you've studied in the past and to be able to revise your understanding of things as you gain more knowledge and skills. One of the key tools you'll have at your disposal in this particular program is to be able to print a copy of your courseware to work along with us as you're working through the course. The courseware uses a set of consistent conventions throughout, including chapter learning objectives, key terms and concepts to know and certain iconography that we use to call out certain examples as we work our way through the text. So as you're going through the course online, we encourage you to print out a copy of the courseware and to follow along with that as well. Along the way, we're going to put in place a series of examples and quizzes to allow you to confirm your knowledge of the learning objectives and to be able to reinforce certain key knowledge and skills that we help you build through each one of the sections. One of the things that will help you in understanding your readiness for the certification exam is how comfortable you are answering these questions and your underlying knowledge of the key concepts that we're testing. There are a number of different scrum certification exams available. The scrum certification exams are objective tests that test your ability to utilize and adopt the scrum practices. The scrum examinations are multiple choice examinations and there are a differing number of questions for the different tests. From 75 for the scrum developer certified exam, up through 140 questions for the scrum product owner certified exam. On each of the examinations, each question is worth one mark and there's no guessing penalty, so take your best guess on every single one of the questions. Your exam will be proctored online and the duration of the examination differs depending upon which of the exams you're taking from 90 minutes for scrum developer certified to 120 minutes for scrum master or agile expert, up through 180 minutes for the scrum product owner certified exam. So a few things for you to think about as you're getting started with your learning program here. The first one, of course, is that you have your own particular learning preferences. Take the time to make a detailed study plan and stick to it. Make sure that that is something that you're doing every day or every couple of days so you're keeping the information current in your mind. Take the time to understand the core concepts within each one of the chapters, the learning objectives and the terms and concepts to know a great deal of what they test you on the exam is do you have a detailed understanding of what you're supposed to be doing during a sprint review, what you're supposed to be doing during a retrospect and so forth. And so you may see some deltas between how scrum is practiced in your organization and what we teach in this particular course. For the purpose of the certification exam, the exam is about how scrum is described in the scrum body of knowledge, not necessarily whether you choose to deploy all those capabilities. So make sure that you answer the questions in the context of how the scrum practices are defined. Where appropriate, use all the available resources you have from the mentoring community to your courseware, to this program, to internet resources that you may have available to you as well. Take the time to do practice exams where appropriate and use the quizzes and exercises at the end of each one of the sections to test your knowledge and skills to make sure that you're on track.

We are looking forward to your next session. Thank you for your attention. And with that, I'll see you in the next session. Bye!
