Good morning everybody. How you doing today? It is Wednesday. What is it? It's last day of March, isn't it? Oh my gosh, it is the last day of March. So we're gonna be into April tomorrow. It's craziness, right? We went through 2020 and we're just trucking through 2021 and Wow, it's going fast. Okay, today, we're gonna be talking and just so you guys know this Live training that I do is just for you guys to get your questions answered to help you out so that you can start running grow your business But still it is required of you that you put forth the effort And I had somebody send me an email. I got a reply to him today I didn't quite know what to say, but they sent me an email They were thinking about buying one of my courses and they were like well, you know I've wasted thousands of dollars on other courses and nothing's worked out Will your course helped me and you know my answer is basically I don't know You know, it almost sounds like it probably won't and the reason being is if you failed at every single other course out there I don't know how mine is gonna help you. I think it's probably the person's effort that they're putting forth Which is the most important thing. I mean I can give you information But if you don't do some effort, you know, there's that's where the problem is but today I'm gonna talk about hiring people How do you hire them? I'm gonna show you a couple sites that you could hire them on Show you how to find the best people how to handle the best people how to manage them Super important stuff if you're gonna grow your business, you will not be able to do everything yourself. It's not possible So at some point you're gonna have to hire some people. Let me check out some of these comments Paul says I'm loud and clear That's good. I wanted to know that James says I'm loud and clear there too in Savannah where it's sunny in 79. All right. Do you have me beat James? Let me see if you get me beat today. What is our weather today? It's been nice this week. It's gonna be 87 today and it's 73 now So that's not too bad. That's not too shabby, right? That's pretty darn good You know hiring people guys Is a lot of work. I'm gonna tell you that right off the bat You know, you think well, I'm gonna hire people and it's gonna it's gonna make my life so much easier And it will to a degree but understand you're taking on a new task and that new task is to Describe what you need done and then manage the person that is doing it and manage the job So now you've got all these other tasks And if you haven't Hired new people you haven't hired people before it. I want to kind of go through with you. It's not easy It really isn't Yes, like it ring the bell of course of course How can I forget that Paul make sure you subscribe to my channel? There's a big button there if it's red You want to click it turn a gray and then you want to ring the bell turn on all bell notifications?  Nobody works for you. That's the first thing I would say a race from your mind. Nobody works for you people work with you They're there to help you enhance your business and you need to treat them as such They are not people that are below you. They are people that are beside you.  I wasn't the boss I was the person and he do extra work and set the example And that's that's a hard pill to swallow and you think you're a big shot Which I did when I was in my 20s by the time I was in my, you know, 30s 40s 50s I realized no you're supposed to do more work and show people how to do stuff and help them So that's what I ended up doing and I got a whole lot more out of people by doing that I also want to take you to two sites. I'm going to take you to Upwork today And show you how to find people. I'm also going to take you to Fiber. They are two entirely different sites And I feel like you hire different kinds of people there depending on what you're doing Is Billy your longest freelancer you've had? No, I had a guy in India that was with me for six years But he quit performing well He wouldn't respond so I had to get rid of him and I have two or three people from India now that work for me But no, he's not the longest one Well, no, Jessica is yeah, Jessica is the longest one But she's definitely not a freelancer. She's full-time. She's our executive administrator So let's talk about these sites first off Depending on what you want done You're going to use the right sites So If you want somebody to do some big long drawn-out jobs I would say Upwork is your best bet to do that If you want people to do one-off jobs, you know quick jobs things that don't take much time I would say Fiber is so I want to go over to both of those sites And let me get my screen changed here so you can see it And I just want to show you how to search those sites and use those sites All right. That's not it There we go. There we go. So you should see me getting small down in the corner here. Oh, I went totally away, didn't I? I don't want to do that Uh, give me one second guys. I gotta move this around Huh, okay, so I lost my oh no, their mine is okay, so I'm just gonna make this a little bigger There I go, but now I'm upside down Don't know why I'm upside down Huh Well dog on it. I'm upside down now Let me see if I can get rid of that real quick and I will get rid of that All right, and uh OBS is a weird software guys. It really is Let me see video capture right there Okay, and I'm gonna say okay And let's see device. Give me one second guys Sometimes if you There we go. Okay. So I should be back with a screen with you guys now All right, sometimes on OBS if you make this square too small What it does is it actually reverses the image and makes you upside down So I want to do that. So I'm gonna leave it about like that. You guys see me. Okay. Good Okay, let me see some of these questions here at the factory where you do manufacturing How much input do you have for day-to-day work very little? I have supervisors that do all that I on a daily basis I don't even talk to them.  So, you know, I've seen people hire people Let's say to make a logo. They're like, I want you to make me a logo They don't communicate the color of the logo. They don't communicate, you know, how big they want the logo They don't communicate the mood of the logo They don't communicate when they want the logo and then when they get the logo back They're like, oh my gosh, this isn't what I wanted at all and you took a week and a half Well, did you tell them how much time that you wanted to do? I mean, it's just like you have to be really, really Detailed as to what you want. I am incredibly detailed about what I want Because I figured out over the years It's a whole lot easier for me to be really detailed about what I want Than to go back and have to correct things So if I tell somebody exactly what I want and also they have a choice If I'm very detailed, let me get to this other screen so you're not just seeing this other Mashed-up screen here If I tell somebody what I want In detail They can look at it and say, do I even want that job? They may not want that job They may say, well, that's too much work to do for that price They may not want it. So I'm at five or right now. I'm logged into my account right here And if you notice this is this is your splash screen right here And they've got like an ad up here for something and all these different things people do I just did this one. So I'm targeted. I had a $50 bill $100 bill and a $500 bill with my face put on it And we sent those out as coupons To people on my survival list So that they could use them for different amounts of purchases and it kind of made it fun I have good luck with 99 designs, but it was from a recommendation from someone who had worked on Yeah, I know of that. I don't I don't use that but I know of it So I don't know if it's good bad indifferent, but if it's working for you, that's cool So let's say you want to have a job done. Now, what do we want to have done? Let's say we want to have What do we what would we want to have done here? Let's say make a logo. So I'm going to put in here make Oops, it's hard to type and reach here Make logo Okay, so I'll put in there make logo. Now. What's going to happen is all this is going to populate here So you see all this stuff here and all these different logos now up above this you have different categories So I could pick the category I want Okay, I could pick logo options right here. Do I want 3d freestyle? seller details I always look at Sorting by the seller details So what I'm going to do here is I'm going to go here and I want top rated Okay, so I'm just going to pick top rated and click apply I want good people. Okay. I just want good people. Let's all there is to it. Let me take a sip of my tea So now I've left with all these people up here So then I start to look at them So let me look at this one here. It's five star and there's 46 reviews. Okay. That's pretty good This one here is 4.9 and 118 reviews. Now if you notice What I first went on the screen. They were like five and ten dollar Providers and now they're well, this one here is that's $20. That's pretty cheap. Look at that $20 5.45. That's pretty darn cheap. Uh, but this this looks like, uh Yeah, okay, so there's a lot of good choices here. So when I'm left with all this here, I may pick one Uh, what's this one here? That's 300 All right, let's pick this one here. This is 4.9. He's got 971 reviews And I would recommend looking at some of these reviews, but I'm going to go ahead and click on the actual, um Offer here. Now the way fiverr works Is you have a basic You have a standard and you have a premium So it's always going to default to the basic which is going to be the cheapest here. Okay So here's his basic here and you can also watch what he does. So you can see here This is a little video of it. I won't go through that and bore you with that But he's got a little video and then I've got basic standard and premium And what I can do also is I can compare packages. So I'm going to click right here and compare packages So he's saying for his basic he will give me a custom animation So this guy here, I clicked on this one here. This is animation. It's not regular logos For 25 bucks two revisions, which means how many times you can correct this thing? Okay after two revisions He doesn't do anymore And the standard I'm going to get a logo transparency. I'm going to get a custom colors. I'm going to get custom animation I'm going to get one version two revisions And that's going to cost me 55 dollars now If you notice down here, if you want this stuff done quicker, let me let me upsize this a little bit One day he's going to charge an extra 100 dollars because normally it's three days. Okay, so if you want it in one day, he's going to like triple the price So when you try to rush people to do these things, you're going to pay that extra fee So I don't really want this animation thing. So I'm going to go back And what this does is it opens a separate tab. So you really can't backspace it This one here is interesting. It starts at $15. Let me take a look at this one. Uh, let's see I think I might try the philippines as they speak the king's english Well, kind of sometimes but not always I found it took a lot of dealing back and forth with india I will say I gave a sketch of what I wanted. That's good. Paul if you if you have a sketch That's amazing because I could never do that. I'm not a person who could draw The guy started out at 100 and I had to bargain with him. I told him that he's cleaning Up what I want and there's no original thought on his part got it for $35 plus $5 paypal fee Yeah, I mean you're going to get what you pay for. I mean you are like this one here is 15 bucks and let's compare packages on this one So we got So for $15 he's going to give you a logo transparency and high resolution Uh one concept three revisions now for $20. This is pretty cheap He's going to give you the source file Logo transparency high resolution unlimited revisions. I don't know how anybody can do that I mean if I wanted to have a thousand revisions, would he do that for $20? I don't know that's craziness um, but The last one he's got here, which is 40 He's going to be the source file. You always want the source file guys You definitely want the source file anytime you end this stuff done You're going to have to probably go standard or premium to get that logo transparency high resolution 3d mock-up, which is cool a vector file Two different concepts and unlimited revisions and he's going to do this in three days for 40 bucks. I mean that's unbelievable There's an unbelievable pricing. It really is so That this is kind of fiber fiber some basic stuff guys And you know, you can sort by different things graphic designs virtual You can see what all you could have done in here brands style guides all these different things. Okay I don't I don't use 99.9% of this but I use I use fiber a lot for different, you know Small jobs that I want to have done now if I want to have More detailed work done Bigger jobs more experienced people I will go over to Upwork so let's go over to up work real quick And let's search and up work and I'm going to say I want a magento developer Magento This is what my survival cave food site is built on So I'm going to type in their magento developer And I'm going to come up with all these people now you're going to find that they charge by the hour. Okay And they have different ways of looking at these people So I've got somebody here. Let me up size this so you guys can see this This is an expert magento developer I have a magento developer that that I've hired now that's working on my site for me They're rebuilding it So this person here is from the ukraine and personally as long as they could communicate with me I really don't care where they come from. I just don't I don't know why it matters Um, you know, I don't care. I just don't care. It doesn't matter As long as I can communicate and make them understand me, then that's great. So I look more at You know what they've done in the past now this person has earned $500,000 So don't tell me you can't make money as a freelancer, right? $500,000 She has done and she charges $50 an hour. That's pretty amazing Paul says to use freelancers for copywriting services. I found a designer for a future book cover Cost was reasonable and paid her bonus for exit work figured it pays to tip Ahead a little bit. Uh, yeah, I can't it can't pay to tip it. No, I don't I write all my own copy I don't hire anybody for copy at all. I just I like to write my own stuff I don't like to write. I will tell you that so don't don't take it that I like doing it I just don't trust anybody else to come across as me Um, so I don't I'm not saying you can't do it a lot of people do a lot of people hire out all their copywriting I don't hire out any of it. Uh, but that's just me, you know, if it works for you that it works for you And that's great. Um, this person is another things you want to look at is top rated. Uh, if they're a top rated seller This means they're going to be in the upper scale of people. Um, so that's important Uh, and this here is the job success rate and it's 97 So you can click on that. Uh, and you can get more details about this person Let me just work history right here. Uh, you can look down here. You can see all the different jobs Um, so this person here this job in progress they work for this one person and uh, they've earned 80,766 dollars They've worked 1600 hours for this person. So obviously that person likes them. Uh, this person has paid him $76,000 at $44 an hour Well, that's that's like a third of their total income, isn't it? This person's paid him $13,000 and you can see and hear all these jobs in progress and what's going on Now this job here was finished. So you can see how they rated them. Uh, that was from april to december They work for them and they charge them 3600 bucks Uh, this person here charged 3600 and here's a fixed price job for $150 So overall they look pretty darn good. I mean, I personally I like to see ones that are 4.8 or higher So some of the things you can do As you can go over here and look at job success And I can say well, I want 90 job success Now these other two things top rated and rising star you see how they're locked right here That means you've got to pay a fee to up work to unlock those I don't see any point in doing that and the reason I don't see any point in doing that is because when I Search here and I change let me try to scroll through here Well, you just saw I had one that was top rated here. You get top rated top rated top rated It shows them anyhow. There's no point in paying extra for that What that does is it gets rid of all the ones who aren't top rated But the ones that are top rated are still going to be there. So why pay extra for that? Now you got to be really careful because you can get ripped off when some of these sites for these little add-on things That you don't really need now this person here is 98 success They don't have how much they've earned that's up to them if they want to publish that or not Let's see here. This person here has earned a hundred thousand dollars. They've got a hundred percent job success So I would click on this one here You kind of see what they've done It says magento certified developer wordpress Shopify theme customization all this stuff And most of these jobs It looks like they're 20 to 22 dollars an hour. That's really cheap guys. That's real cheap For the type of skill that I'm asking for I'm asking for a magento developer. This is this is pretty educated work here But you could also read the reviews in there Like over here. I like that they have they're fluent in english Because I speak english, you know, I just don't want to be able to talk to them More than 30 hours a week available 24 hour response time And it shows how many hours they've worked on all these different jobs here This one here is rated at 4.0. You know, you may want to look at that You know, you may want to say, well, what's what's going on with this job? Why is it 4.0? Uh, and they they didn't give them, you know, great scores. It's not bad Uh, it was a good experience working whether we took uh, we look forward to work with you again So this person could just be harsh, you know, because they say they're great But then they didn't give them a 5.0. So that kind of makes you wonder but Uh, nevertheless, this person gave a 5 5 5 5 And you can go through all of their ratings here and see what they got This here's a 4.85. That's a five. I mean, it looks like they're doing a pretty darn good job, you know So I would definitely put this person in the running now when you find somebody like this You can click higher here or you can also click. I want to save this person. Okay So I can say save freelancer. So let's say I'm I like I'm doing a job now where I'm having my labels redone on all my cans So I went through here and I looked at label designers people who just designed food labels And I went through and I saved a bunch of freelancers who looked like they were pretty good Now when I have a job and I post it I can then add all those people that I saved to that job and let them bid on that job and see what they can come up with on that So that's a great way to do that and a great way to use this site. Uh, let's see Like whoever did your website clean look to it. Have you used an editor for your copy? I think for this tribe you need to find an editor who gets entrepreneurs not an academic Yeah, I do all my own copy. I just don't yeah, I tell them what to put on the site I'll I'll send them a word file or whatever and they just upload that They don't do any copy whatsoever. I'm 100% my own copy guy Um and and guys put these are great questions as paul's putting in here I don't see everybody else commenting. I'd love to see you comment in there, too But um anyhow, that's how I would find somebody on up work Um on up work understand that these people may be in different countries Since they're in different countries, you know, they may not be able to meet with you one o'clock in the afternoon your time And you have to be flexible on that I know you may want them to be around nine to five monday through friday pacific standard time, but they're not going to be like my Web developer that's working on my magento site. I really can't talk to him till after about eight or nine o'clock at night Um, and I respect that, you know, he works a different country, you know, that's the way it is I can adjust and work in the evenings. It's not a big deal. I don't work, you know, monday through friday nine to five Anyhow, so I can adjust my schedule.  It's very old movie. Well, not very old 20 years old I guess that's old to some people a training day Uh, and I remember seeing a couple people that were just, you know, yelling and screaming at a cop Who's got a gun and he's a cop and they're calling him names and I'm like, boy, that's just not smart That's not a smart thing to do.  You know, and I gosh, I see this time and time again Where people just don't treat other people right or they think Because they're in america that they're superior if they're not they're just people It's just where you were born guys.  They work beside you. They work with you And if you look at people like that when you hire them, you know, you're going to get much better results Let me get back over to my other screen because I think we've seen enough of these sites And let me pull this up. Oops, that's not it. This is what I need. Yeah Okay All right, doesn't want to play with me today. It doesn't just doesn't want to do it Okay, let's see here. Oh, I gotta hit my video capture device. That's why There we go. There we go Okay, so everybody can see me on the screen now um So what questions do you guys have about hiring people managing people? Make your make your job post really detailed. I mean spell out what you want You know, you must be fluent in english.  You must, you know, you must have this many jobs You must have done a hundred jobs or more Put all that in your detail and you'll be able to weed out a lot of people Does that mean that everybody applies is going to read that and do exactly what you say?  No, not a big deal But man be detailed the amount of work you put into doing that job posting And being detailed and letting them know what you want will pay off Many times over later on when you're having to manage that person to get what you want out of them Let's see here How many freelance people do you use now? What's your favorite country for freelancers today? I don't have a favorite country really and I don't have a favorite country because different countries offer different talents If i'm going to hire somebody from magento development I'm going to hire somebody in india the talent pool over there is huge for that If i'm going to hire somebody for social media, which I have I'm going to hire in the philippines if i'm going to hire somebody for data entry I'm going to hire in pakistan because they're really good and data entry And it just it just takes time to figure out what sites are going to work for you the sites that work for me May not be the sites that work for you. You know, you got to figure this stuff out I can just tell you what i've done. I like all my social media and video editing and graphics done the philippines I have a couple people that are doing that now In india i have three people Pakistan right now it's off and on depending on orders and order I also have an american in florida that does a lot of data entry for me in orders and that's my daughter Okay, uh, and you know she's she's a mom who's got twin boys and another boy So she works from home Um, so she does that um, I have an editor also that has to edit copy in mexico But it's an american that lives in mexico So i've got all these different people who do all these different tasks Not based on where they live though I know I can get it people in india and social media people in philippines pretty easy But it's more about the type of person. So I don't care where they're from I really don't but I do know that certain countries afford you Certain talents that you can't find in other places as easily not saying you can't find them, but not as easily Today just so you know guys what i'm doing i'm getting ready to shoot videos today I'm gonna have to redo my whole office get all this set up A little bit different than what it is now get my camera set up get all the lighting set up change my clothes Fix my hair differently for my videos. Uh, and today i'll be shooting about 12 different videos Those 12 videos will then go to my editor. Um, he will then take those and edit those You know put music where it needs to be put words where it needs to be zoom in zoom out do all that kind of stuff And then those will be scheduled to go up on my channel and he'll make thumbnails for him So I have to do this like every two weeks I did not do last week because I had caught up a little bit. I didn't have to which is kind of nice But this week i'm going to have to do at least that maybe more I may do 13 videos today depending on if my voice holds out or not That's going to be a big determining factor Let's see here my experience from traveling around india and arab countries is that business people are To haggling Yeah, they are I don't I don't haggle that much On jobs what I do is I look what the going rate is for something Um, and um, I will try to charge that or a little higher Excuse me offer to pay that or a little higher And the reason I want to pay a little bit higher is because they're more anxious to do your job And you know if I pay somebody, you know, you know 120 dollars a week versus 130 dollars a week It's not a whole lot of money to me However, to them it may be a lot of money and they may be really excited about that and I want them to be excited about doing my job I pay my video editor way more than what I could pay somebody else and I know that But you know, I like him, uh, you know, I know about his family and you know, I care about him And I want him to enjoy the job and I want him to make a good living So I pay him way more. Uh, I do not try to get the cheapest person ever If I if I haggle down to where you know, they can barely cover the cost of doing it They're not going to be excited about doing the job. They're going to try to do as quick as they can You're going to put as little effort into it as they can So I do not haggle a whole lot of these jobs because I'm getting them cheaper anyhow You know, if I was hiring in the u.s. I would have to pay four or five times as much So, I mean, I just don't get chintzy when I'm dealing with india or philippines or pakistan. I just don't I don't look for the cheapest person So that that that can be a mistake for you if you're haggling too much on these jobs Just because you got it cheaper doesn't mean you're not going to pay more Just because you know, the person says I want $30 an hour and you get them down to 20 doesn't mean they're just not Going to add more hours, you know, so You know, be kind to these people. Let them make them money. Let them make a little bit of money Okay, they're working. Let them make a little bit of money. I don't give any money to the guy on the street corner Who's begging? Okay, he's not he's not offering any service But these people are offering services. They got to pay for their, you know Food and shelter and their family and all that let them be happy with the job Let them think that you are a little bit more generous. I think that's the way to go. I really do Was it a freelancer who did your website? Was it local? How do you figure What you're willing to pay for projects so you get fair prices The way I figure it is I do a lot of research to see what people charge I look on these sites and I see what their services are And also when I'm posting a job, I don't offer it to one person. I offer it to 30 people 40 people And when I do it that way I can see exactly what the market bears. Okay, because I mean there's some wild swings in that, you know, direction It's going to go as far as me building the websites I have built some of my websites. I've got a whole lot more.  Absolutely. I did not do it. It's way too complicated for me magento is way too hard WordPress websites. I've had some people help me. I did the base website myself But to upgrade and do some other stuff. I had some other people work on that for me But I built websites. I here's the deal with building websites. I can do it And I can do it. Okay. I'm not great at it. It doesn't look beautiful I'm not a graphic designer. I would just take some template and stick it in there But it's my time worth it. You know, it's my time worth $20 an hour to work on a website And it's absolutely not worth $20 an hour. I can make way more money than that By doing other things on a daily basis. So why sit there and build websites? It's it's not what I do It's not what I do. I teach people how to make money. I put together courses I can't hire somebody to put together a course for me. I can't do that I mean, I guess I could but it wouldn't be the real thing because By courses are me teaching exactly what I do and how I got results. Nobody else can do that They can't teach it because they didn't do what I did. So I know the certain things I have to do myself And since I have to do those things myself I can't do other things because it just takes away from it and that that hurts me in the long run Billy does a great job on his thumbnails. By the way snaps to billy Cool, maybe billy will hear this billy's an awesome guy's got a young boy Wife and she works for a bark box. I believe That subscription pet thing and they're in the Philippines. They got a great family. He's a great person Love billy. He's been been with me for a while now So yeah guys, that's freelancers. What'd you think? Did you get something out of it? If so put a comment in that chat section Let me know what you thought about that. Let me know what you thought about me going through those sites Let me know also in that chat section what you would like to learn. I don't get a lot of that I don't get a lot of people saying hey, I want to learn this and I know it's hard because you don't know what you want to learn Right until you it's introduced to you.  Yeah, I'm glad I learned that But if you can think of something put that in there if you're watching this video and it's not live Okay, which it won't be it's going to it'll only be live once. Did you know that only live one time?

S&P's bottom line we have with the S&P's out here is that these are coming back into the highs of the lows of last week, right now we had the low of last week down to 281.28, we get 45 million shares coming in, the high of that low is 288.21, bottom line you're into it, they're selling that baby down, the volume is going to be light, we're still in heavy summer trading between Fridays and Mondays, NDX 100 down two and a half bucks, the Q's 184, now this one here looks like it's going to bounce and the NDX 100 is the stronger industry and we're talking about the small caps, the S&P, all the NDX, right now we hit 183.50 out here today and 183.51 was the high of the low of last week so that little baby just may have just done what it was looking to do.

Good morning everybody Saturday Today we're spending another day at the land here trying to get some more clearing done We got this done last time already. I think we made some pretty good progress I don't want to see how much further we can get I'm actually pretty Surprised I thought there would still be a lot more snow left here. It's nothing It is a hot day today. So whatever is left is gonna be gone See just a little bit left just a few speckles there by the door But other than that everything's looking in order brought an extra chain today just in case because this one's getting a little bit stretched out already and Realized last weekend that I'm probably gonna have to replace it soon. So I've got a brand new one right there I've got my chain oil chain sharpener Gas for the chainsaw gas for the more. This is my bushwhacker mower I think I'm gonna buy us a new one for the house and just use this one for out here Now we'll see This one's in pretty rough shape already got it at Walmart years ago when I lived in that house trailer That was a long time ago already. Well, she's still going good. Just uh You gotta watch out sometimes she likes shooting things out the back because that guard on the back fell off It's never happened to me yet, but it's actually never I shouldn't say it hasn't happened It just hasn't hit me yet. That's why I got my big steel toe boots on my big work boots Always wear eye protection. I just want to take a moment to appreciate the silence You know Steinback isn't a very big town. Well, it's a city.  You guys have all given me great advice and great ideas for all these stumps this is a whole system of stumps from a bush that I cut down and I Read them all I appreciate all of your input as I go about this process of developing this land slowly I'm gonna always be open to advice and Listen to the people who have done this before Because this is my first time ever building a house. I hope it's my last time too We just want to build this house, but we want to get it right We want to get it perfect. We want it to be the house We we die in that we retire and we want to stay here for the rest of our lives So We want to make it just the way we want it We want to put some good thought into it too so that we don't just build something and you know a year down the road Oh shoot. I wish we would have thought of this We're also taking our time because of finances. I don't want a big mortgage. I want to have a Considerable amount a good chunk if not maybe the whole thing, but let's not get too crazy, you know You never know might win the lottery, but I want to have a Enormous the sum of money for a down payment so that our our mortgage can stay low I don't want to be living at the top end of our budget the rest of our lives I want to be living at a comfortable spot where we can still go out and do some fun things You know when we have kids and everything opens up again We can take them to Disney World and not have to you know suffer for it I don't want to be able to go on trips and go camping spend money take my kids fishing You know put them through sports put them through hockey if that's what they want to do because hockey is expensive Hockey is expensive to put your kids through and I want to be able to have the money to do that for them But I also want to have a nice good home for them to come home to feel safe and feel comfortable in and Be able to enjoy nature like this. So the plan for now is to build In a minimum of five years or so it's going to be a little while. That's why I'm taking my time with this I'm slowly clearing this whole area myself here I took all of your comments into consideration I think my best option to get these stumps out of here would be a little mini excavator I was gonna rent a skid steer, but I think an excavator might work better for this just because you know all of these Big bumps I got to dig in there, and I don't want to tear everything up I just want to get the stumps out right and it's just like bushes like this So I'm gonna cut them all down get this place all opened up get a little mini excavator in here dig up all of these big roots level it off the best I can and We'll take it from there.  We're gonna have a dog area fenced off in the back in the bush there Once again depending on finances depending on money I'd like to go all the way Like a big big section of this bush fenced off Several acres at least So that we can you know just let them lose to run off into the bush And we don't have to worry about them running on to the neighbor's yard. It's a deterrent for wildlife I know wildlife if they want to get in they're gonna get in anyways But if we have that six foot chain link fence just like we have at our house in in Steinbeck If we have that going around our whole property here or not the whole property But you know several acres of it If we can afford it You know when a bear comes up to that fence, you know, he's got a decision to make is it worth it to climb over or do you just I'll just go this way then right Does something a little bit it will deter neighbor dogs from coming on our property It'll it'll stop our dogs from leaving our land Things to consider right we have lots of years to make sure we get it just right You can tweak this and tweak that take this plan changed a little bit And if you build on this plan over here so that by the time we build the house for us is going to be perfect exactly what we wanted exactly what we Want to live in you know, it's gonna be dog friendly built around Dogs being in the house easy to clean There's gonna be a dog bath area in the mud room so that when the dogs come in on a muddy spring day We can wash them off right there dry them up and let them into the house Obviously all the floors in the house will keep in mind that we have dogs. They'll probably all be Oh, we'll see what we come up with but they'll be like hardwood or like laminate flooring type deal. So it's easy to clean But anyways, I'm gonna I'm going on rabbit trails here. I want to start working We're gonna start pushing this way so See how far that way we can get today This went pretty quick this side I got done this whole area here. I got done in just about two hours Probably a little less than that. Oh water's good So I think we're gonna call it a day for today or an afternoon spend a few hours here Cleared up behind here quite a bit And then cleared further out that way and We started pushing this down as well here just between the bigger trees where I could get the mower mowing everything down Because all of these are all coming down all of them But it'll have to be another day. It's time for me to go home for supper So everything's straight along here and up that way. This is all coming down A lot of work, but it was a good workout Got the heart pumping probably burnt more calories than I took in today So that's a good thing Probably walked about 10 miles back and forth and back and forth and We had pushed it back to about here last time so all of this to that tree line over there now is what I did today First mowed it down and cut down all these bigger trees that obviously the mower couldn't take Up to here and then it's gonna go across there those big trees back there yet And meet up with that clearing that we just came from over there And this is where the house is going to be Right in front of us here Facing that way with big windows facing that way And then our backyard will be in the trees Starting to feel more like home every time I come here. Just a little bit every time just chip away at it Chip away it slowly slowly Once we get all this cleared down when we left with all the stumps Get that mini excavator out here. We'll dig those all up level it out again then we'll start staking out where the house is actually gonna go and then Start seriously looking up blueprints, I guess and getting quotes. This is what I feel fulfilled doing Well, it's not so tight in here anymore A little easier to get in and out gonna leave these sticks here for now and come Organize them into a big pile next time. I Feel like I made some progress today And I'm hungry. We're having George's burgers and fries It's a popular local. I think it's a local restaurant. It's a chain in Winnipeg. They just expanded to Steinback Try it out. I can almost picture the house here already almost Once this whole area is completely cleared and we can start putting stakes in the ground where we want it It's gonna real come really come together This is where our kids are gonna grow up once they come along. We're still trying Hopefully this month They're gonna miss this whole process of developing it, but hopefully they enjoy it They can look back on these videos and see all the work we put into it Building everything with them in mind. Don't even know who they are yet Boy or girl. We don't care. Just hope that they're healthy George's where are you? There you are. What is this Victoria Plaza mall? Original George's burgers and subs Actually pretty excited. Is it just yeah, I guess it's just takeout got the goods and I'm sore I worked a little harder and I thought I did oh boy You'd think I'd be a little more used to that but apparently not I'm excited to try it out. I'm hungry now. I built up quite the appetite today We do So we had our George's burgers and fries yesterday. We had a little fat boys It's pretty much just a it's a huge burger with we got Greek fries along with it So it's almost like a poutine, but instead of cheese curds that had feta in there with and tomatoes With the fries Greek fries It was actually pretty good, but you were saying that they're better in Winnipeg Yeah, Winnipeg locations are definitely like the st. Mary's location as well established I think that was the original actually much much better But this tasted good. It's just that their patties were a bit thin and they marked our burgers wrong But made them right but opposite markings and they forgot our tzatziki sauce with our fries So I was a little bit unimpressed. I called and they sounded super confused They were nice, but super confused so disorganized So they just opened here. So all the employees are probably brand new Yeah, and they probably don't understand the food because most people here know Mennonite food. They don't know Greek food Yeah, well Greek diner food, so So they they'll get it going. They're just getting the Getting the hang of things there.  You're all wrong Anyways, they they marked her burger as mine. So I took a big bite out of her burger and it had extra pickles I can still taste it and The fries were pretty good, but like she said that's got the tzatziki sauce So they were a bit dry, very flavorful, but they definitely needed some sort of dip So I dipped I didn't eat my many of them I ate the rest today and I dipped the rest in ranch which helped Okay, I thought it was delicious anyway, but we're on the next day. It's Sunday right right now I don't film anything on Sundays. Usually I just sort of relax and hang out but since I kind of left you guys hanging with the George's burgers pick up there and I didn't Didn't talk to you after that I figured I'd at least fill you in and let you know it was delicious No, I thought I'm almost so hungry. I totally forgot about it. I was just let's see Careful with that butter. Yeah, it's violent. They say you can't hurt yourself with a butter knife. Watch me Anyway, so for this Sunday evening, it's 6 30 just about Britt is making my absolute favorite I wasn't feeling well, so I'm making up for it now. So it's gonna be twice as good, right? Absolutely Fought and pasta, right? That's my oh shoot you turn the wrong one on no, I didn't turn it up to the correct size I always forget we have that feature shoot. This is a confusing stove. It really truly is a lot going on here Time to stay out of your way to put this together So it's a good day. We got a lot of progress done at the land again It's just gonna go slowly one thing at a time like to yesterday all I did was clear some of those bushes next time I go there.  We're not planning on doing too much more there this year Maybe Maybe we'll bring in some crushed rock for a foundation for the driveway sometime later this year, maybe not But I just want to get it cleared and usable right now.  Yeah without we want to possibly put a wood stove in it So that we sit in there in the chillier evenings get the most use out of it as possible But we got to be able to help them in there playing without being in danger of touching the wood stove So we'll have to come up with something probably a raised wood stove to keep them safe Yeah, we'll think of something But we'd have to get a building permit just for that as well and because it has a wood stove in there A wood burning wood stove we'd have to get a get it all insured and everything So it's a couple of steps, so we're not sure if we're gonna get that done this year But like I said, this is like at least a five-year plan It might stretch out to be longer because if we if we don't end up having kids for a few years We don't need any more space than this. This is all we need we could take our time then but if we end up having like a Say a set of twins and then another set of twins or just a set of twins in another one Well, then our days in this little house are numbered and we're gonna have to set a More of a definitive date when our build is gonna be done so that we can have the space we need when we need it But until then stay tuned. Yeah, don't stay tuned. We're nowhere near that point yet. I wish we were but we're not That's okay. We love this little house. That's all we need Look we got a bathroom. We got a living room a kitchen and two bedrooms and a Chevy It's all we need I got my little workstation here for making these videos for you guys We got our new bed Gotta get new end tables yet, but what else do we need? Got a nice fenced-in yard for the dogs got good neighbors on both sides of us Life's good here I'm not complaining. I love this little house. You guys have a bit more counter space, but I make it work. Yeah But it's perfect for us right now. And until we have more than one kid We don't have to rush Building So we'll see what happens. Let's see what happens. I'm gonna keep on with the Lotto max We'll see Our long-term plan winning the lottery We'll see you guys tomorrow tomorrow we go back to work


I want to reiterate that when Pauline said she covered the tip of the iceberg, I mean there's such a wealth of data and census. She really only covered two data sets, the 2010 census in the American Community Survey and there's so many other data sets and so many other tools. Would anybody be interested in follow-up training somewhere along the way? Okay. I may inflict a survey monkey on you later to find out what kinds of things you're interested in knowing more about. CNOW's job is to democratize data among other things to grow local data capacity. So whether it's being able to bring Pauline back in for a more advanced training or more of this or customizing something, once we know what your needs are we can try to address those. I also want to tell you I've been working in community data since 1992 for lots of grant writing purposes but also community assessments and so forth. The census should always, always, always be the first place you check. Now if you find that the margins of error are too wide for the geographic area that you're interested in or what you need is not there, okay move on to something else. But when a funder or other stakeholder that you're giving data to your board of directors sees census they're going to trust it a whole lot more than if it's some no-name non-brand organization that puts something together even if they use census data to get their numbers. So if y'all are already in the habit please start with the census. And let me take you first to cinow.info. This is community information now's home page and again we have three legs to our stool nowcastSA is webcasting this training today. NowTek is actually bridging the digital divide through tech training through community based learning centers like the one you're sitting in today. And then NowData let's click on NowData up at our projects. This is actually where you're going to find all of the data shop oops I messed up my very first agenda which is to let you know that we have an address, a newsletter sign up here on the home page. We issue 10 to 12 newsletters a year so if you sign up for this you won't get a flood in your inbox but you will get updates about new data that we have and also interesting webcasts and so forth. So if you want to subscribe you can do that here on our home page or anywhere in the NowData site that you see that subscription button. So here's our data explorer page and I just want to give you a brief orientation we're not going to go into nearly as much depth as Pauline did for the census tools. We have some focus areas where folks have asked us to do some in depth work. Some of you may be familiar with Voices for Children in the annual child data report that they put out. We gather the data that goes into that report. We have a grant from Methodist Healthcare Ministries to collect mental health data and then we do data support for the Eastside Promise neighborhood, that implementation grant on the Eastside and the weekly choice planning grant. So you can explore those and there's some narrative behind those if you're interested but mostly I want to spend our time this morning on this right hand screen which is how you will search all the different data that we have locally which includes census that goes far beyond it. So let me just orient you to this side. You can do a keyword search and the keyword search is going to look through what we call indicators which is something like immunization rates among two-year-olds. The resources attached to that, maps and tables and so forth and also any descriptive text we have. So if you do a keyword search and the indicator name that you have cropped up doesn't have the word in it that you found that you searched for, it doesn't mean the keyword search is broken, it just means it's hidden somewhere down in the description or the resource name. You can browse everything we have if you have eight hours of your life that you never want to get back. You can go by topic and if you click on one of these topics you'll see a list of subtopics. I'll show you that in a minute. If you're only interested in one county then you can look at everything we've got within the county of interest and then we have some special tools and a help screen. Let me first go to browse health and safety. We're going to click show more options. That's critical. All the good stuff doesn't show up until you click show more options. Let's go to behaviors and risks. All the things that are upstream of good or poor health status. Let's say, I was expecting some folks from Comal today but they didn't show up so let's use bear instead of Comal. Click the bear check box and let's say that you need to know stuff below the city or county level. Let's just grab some check boxes. We'll say census tract, city council district, neighborhood, zip code and these are all war searches so you're not looking for everything that's by census tract and city council district. It'll be city census tract or city council district. Then you can limit by the format. We're not going to do that right now but if you were only interested in maps or only interested in tables that you could download and manipulate the data yourself you could restrict it that way. Is everybody caught up so far? Okay we're going to hit the magic blue button search. Now this gray text up here will tell you what you just searched for so we're exploring health and safety looking just in the subtopic of behaviors and risks just for bear county and just for these kinds of sub county data. That's your shopping cart. That's my shopping cart. We found 10 indicators the way that our data are organized again is you have your indicator and then you have what we call resources, a map, a table, a report, a link externally attached and there may be one resource for an indicator, there may be 27 resources for an indicator. Let's just click on walkability. Not everything that we do is crunching data from someplace like the Census Bureau. In some cases people have done a very good job of analyzing data and visualizing it and in that case we don't want to reinvent that wheel. So we do what we call curating. If you imagine a museum exhibit somebody pulls together the paintings that should go into that museum exhibit and we vet all these different resources that are out there and say this is a quality one, it's accurate, it's of interest, it's local, we'll add it to our collection. So we're curating other stuff as well as generating our own. So there's a lot of stuff here because we provide data support to Eastside Promise. We've got the walk score for every different neighborhood within Eastside Promise. But let's look at San Antonio, walk score for San Antonio. It's low, it has to be low. It's too simple to write here. It is. So here's a thematic map just as you were looking at earlier where red is worse and green is better and yellow is in between. You can see you're still within our frame and you can click back to indicator. You haven't gotten lost. You can navigate within the walk score site without leaving our website. You can see here downtown is very walkable. But especially once you get out to the suburban areas, not so much. So some of these sites will have the raw data for you and I know that I am always wanting the raw data. I want the map but I also want the raw data. So we can't guarantee that everything will always be available for the stuff that we link to but we try to get you the raw data every chance that we get. So San Antonio is the 40th most walkable city in the U.S. but like everything else, it really depends on where in San Antonio you are, right? Okay. So let's click back to indicator. That wasn't a surprise. That was a confirmation, 40th. So now from here, again, if you're just like you can't sleep, you can just browse through other indicators that are related or you can go back to home to get started again. But let me just let you know here that we've tried to add, we have the years that the data are for. We have the topics that it is filed in. And then we have some notes where we try to give you some user cautions or tell you something about where the data came from, help you interpret how to use it. I like the word user cautions. User cautions. We need to add user encouragement. Look, you found it. User encouragement. User cautions. I like it. All right. So I'm just going to use the back button. Actually, I'm going to go back all the way. Back to the exploring screen. Now that I've shown you one indicator, I just want to make sure that it's clear that each one of these bold titles is a different indicator and each one has a different number of resources in it. It's a little bit of a hodgepodge. We cover 12 counties in every different issue area. So we have a whole lot more on births than we do on elevated blood lead. Okay? So it may be a little bit hit and miss. But again, you will have to, nothing here is clickable. And if you click this view, again, you're going to see what's in there so you don't waste your time. If the walkability thing that you need is not actually in walkability, but you have to click on the indicator title in order to drill down to the good stuff. Here's one I like that we just found. Housing plus transportation affordability index. For those of you who are dealing with poverty, you know, the rule of thumb that housing should be no more than 30% of your income. But because transportation is so critical in San Antonio, we're a little bit behind the times on mass transit, although we're getting a whole lot better. And so many of our neighborhoods are not walkable.  So the housing plus transportation index loads in transportation to the very basic cost of living for neighborhood affordability. All right, let's go back to home. I want to show you some of the stuff that we have related to the census data that Pauline has already showed you. Again, we curate other people's stuff and sometimes we are able to make it easier for you to get to it. So I hope that you'll all become experts in American fact finder. But let's say that you just got to have that population figure for San Antonio and you can't remember it off the top of your head and you don't want to go look through quick facts. How fast can you get it? Or you need data aggregated to a service area, which is the life that I used to live, that you've got kind of a random collection of census tracks and you have to aggregate a number like race, ethnicity breakdowns for your service area and you have to do that by adding up census tracks. So I did a keyword search for census and it found everything that has census in the title of either the indicator or one of the resources underneath it. So here you can see census is not in this title, but it is in the resource titles. So there's a reason those come up. I'm going to share you census 2010, census track, demographic and housing profiles. Now the Census Bureau this time with the new American fact finder, which has been by some of my fellow data geeks described as the Swiss Army knife to the buck knife. It was the old American fact finder. It's a whole lot more complicated, but it's a whole lot more robust. It's got a lot more tools in it. One of the new tools is something called a bookmark. It used to be you couldn't bookmark results to send to people. It would revert to the query screen. That's not true anymore. So let me connect to Bear. And here you can see it's taken you straight to Table DP1 that you guys looked at earlier, for Bear County. And the census tracks are all here in this pull down menu. If you only need one census tract, let's go back to 1305, which does happen to be in the East Side Promise neighborhood. You can see it there. Now on the indicator description, again, user notes and encouragement, cautions and encouragement. We've put text that says you can use the pull down menu to view each different census tract and downloading to CSV format will generate a file that contains all of the census tracks. Downloading to Excel or other presentation ready format will only save the one that you're viewing, the one that's selected. So right here, if I say download and go to Excel, it's going to build my file. I'm just going to open it rather than save it. And you can see that it has preserved the indents and everything that make the data intelligible to you. It looks exactly like it did on the screen. But it's only 1305, right? So we need to go back here and say download, because let's imagine that I need all the south side census tracks for my service area. So I've got to eliminate all the ones in all of the other areas of the county. I'm going to say data and annotations in a single file just like this is here. I'm going to wait incredibly patiently and be grateful for all of the things that are technologically possible. I believe in gratitude. While that's doing that, let me just back up here and show you that we have, let's say, that I want to search census demographic. So we've got the demographic and housing profiles for the congressional district, for the census tract, and for the county. So those are the shortcuts that we have available for you through these deep links. So here, it's finished. It never takes that long. I'm just not that patient. Now, here's the problem with this setup. You can see here are all the census tracks that you need, right? You can just select out or delete the ones that you don't want. However, we've lost the pretty indents. So you'll have to, the way that I do it honestly is to get rid of the ones that I don't like and copy it, paste it transposed so that these things are all on the left side and my census tracks are columns. This is the kind of thing we could cover in a later training if you wanted to do that. But I wanted to let you know how you can get all of the census tracks of interest in Bear County or just some of them, just one of them. Does that make sense to folks? Now you can navigate here back to search and change if you want something else in Bear County. Let's say that you didn't want the demographic and housing profile. You needed something from American Community Survey, but you still wanted all the census tracks. It's a little shortcut. You've already got the right geographies here in this list. So what else do I have for you? Oh, weave. Here's the fun part. Weave. Weave. What is weave? Weave is the web-enabled analysis and visualization environment, which I highly recommend you not say at a party. People don't think you're very cool. Can tell you from experience. Weave is an open-source data visualization tool that we started using that does maps and a whole lot more. Let me do a keyword search for immunization. I could also find weave. Wow, I don't have a show other. Okay, good to know. Usability testing on the fly. Each of these resources that's a weave visualization is labeled that way if you want to go and find them. I'm going to show you percent of children 19 to 35 months old with their 431-331 series. It does take a minute, and let me let you know. It works on any PC that has, it has to have flash and JavaScript. So it won't work on your iPhone. It will work on your Android. It will or will not? Will. It will work on Android. It won't work because iPhone doesn't like flash. So here's a thematic map. One nice thing about these visualizations is everything's tied together. So if I highlight zip code 7-8202 over here, can you see that it's highlighting it in the histogram in the middle? Amazing. And it's off the screen. This is childhood immunization rates. Two-year-old immunization rates. Beautiful. This is what we, yes, this is what we call it. This is by zip code. This is our time slider. This is my favorite thing. This is 2004 data, and it's going to take you through change over time. So I asked much earlier about changing. Right. And it tells you, I don't know if you can see in the data table, it says 2008, 2009, 2010. I like this map because it actually shows things getting better. We go back to 2004, you see how the histogram is pushed to the left? And over the years, it starts to move a little bit to the right until we hit the recession in 2009. Wow. So, again, because we do data support for eSide Promise, we can select the subset of... The slider is... I'm going to pause it for a minute. So I've stripped away everything except the two zip codes that make up the eSide Promise neighborhood. It's beyond what we're going to do today, but you can create under subsets, selections and subsets. You can create your own if you want to get information just for a handful of census tractors or zip codes that are on the map. But so I can play the change in time just for these two zip codes just the same way. And then I can go back to show all records. Under subsets, show all records. All right. Now let's say that you wanted to get 2010 only. You want the most recent thing there was. So you can manually move your time slider over to 2010. And let's imagine that you wanted everything on the screen. If you right click on the gray bar, you can print, export application image. And it will spit out for you the entire screen that you're looking at. And then you say save as image. Okay? Or you can print it from there, but I think saving as image works a little bit better. So if you only... Save as image and then you print it? Yes. Okay. Because it seems to give you more control over how it looks when it's printed. I wish this thing would stop playing. I want the time slider to stop sliding. Let's say you only wanted the map. You can just say instead of application image, which gives you everything, just the map. Now the problem is you can just like you can get something without a source, which is a terrible thing to do. You can get a map without a legend. So if you do this, be sure to grab your legend too.  Also, if you want this data yourself and you need a subset of the zip codes, you can click export data and save it in CSV to your desktop. And let me show you another view visualization really quick. Given our probation, child use neglect and family violence. In addition to the maps and the bar charts, we have scatter plots, which I love. How many of you have seen scatter plots before? Do you know what you're looking at? About half. Okay. So the deal is here with a scatter plot. Here's 7-8-2-0-3. So can you see? I've got to lose my pointer and I don't. Can you see the highlighted circle in the first map? Thank you. Do you see this highlighted circle? And do you see these actual numbers? So what the scatter plot is doing is taking the rate of family violence, which is 144.3, and plotting it against the rate of juvenile probation referrals, which is 464.3. So there's where 464.3 meets 144.3. That's how scatter plots work. The thing that's cool about them is if you see a tight association between two variables, in other words a zip code where, let me say it this way, zip codes that experience high rates of family violence almost always experience high rates of juvenile probation referrals. You're going to see a very tight diagonal line up here because they always track together. If there were no association, these dots would be spread out all over the screen. So this is actually people run a regression line here when they get into more sophisticated data analysis, but this is a quick way to visualize whether there's a relationship or not. The size of the dot is the number of kids. Is that the number of kids? No, this particular one is the number of population. So you can see that even though this orange dot is not the worst zip code for either one, it doesn't have the highest rate of juvenile probation referral and it doesn't have the highest rate of family violence. It's got the most people. So if you're planning where to put services, you might want to put them where there's a whole lot of people needing services, not necessarily where there's few people with the greatest concentration of problems. I mean that's something that's with the organizational policy. So you can see here, this is darn near where we are now. Are we in 7-8-2-0-7 right now? I think we are. 3-7. Okay, so we're right next door probably. But here's 7-8-2-0-7. You can see that even though it's not got the worst rates of either one, it's got a huge population worth paying attention to. So here is a scatter plot of family violence against abuse neglect. So you can see again, there's a very close association. Where you see one, you're going to see the other. Does that make sense? And here's the data table again. It's cut off, but you can export this data. Some things are missing. We don't have data for it, especially family violence. You'll just see a blank there. You don't have the data, and the dot will appear off the scatter plot. Here's one where we have family violence, but we don't have given-all probation. Does this make sense to folks? And again, you can take the whole screen for just the scatter plot. All right, that is we. Eventually, we will have support for you to put your own data in Weave as a quick way to map it. Like the Census Bureau has given you great support to map census data. I can't imagine why you'd use anything else. But if there's data that comes from multiple sources or something besides census, you could use Weave to do your own. Let me show you one more thing that's coming up. I like to indicate home. If you click on custom crosstabs, you'll see the custom crosstab tool is no longer available. That's the big news. It's good news. The custom crosstab tool was a little bit hanky, and we wanted something better. Hanky, yes, that's the thing. Useless, totally useless. Community view is not going to be useless. And community view is going to be a public access web tool that's going to pull together what I call person-based data, administrative data like patient data, student data, client data. In the aggregate, you'll never see person-level data pulling that together with place-based data like census tract. So then maybe you would know be able to examine the neighborhood characteristics of the people that you surf, right? We know that neighborhood matters a lot. Growing up in kind of the stew of poverty matters a whole lot. So we'll be able to show you births and deaths, the demographic and housing profiles. I actually think we'll be able to get down to block group. Hospital discharges. So if you wanted to look at asthma hospitalization rates for, or ER, let's say ER admissions for asthma, against pollutant exposure for respiratory risk pollutants, you'd be able to do that if you wanted to see kinder readiness against elevated blood lead level. So you'll be able to grab data for a demographic group like if you only cared about teenage Hispanic females, you could do that. Or if you only cared about zip code 78207, you'll be able to pull all that down. We expect that to come online in mid-December. So again, if you want to stay updated, join our mailing list and you'll know when that's coming. And there's a narrative description here if you want to read more about community view. Do you have questions on our site? We've got a lot of stuff up here, and yet I know that whatever you go looking for will not be there, because that's the way it works. Who do you contact? Because it is an early learning firm. Yes. Anyone who has a community tool is designed in San Antonio. It's the US Department of Ed is looking at this. It's probably one of the key reasons we've got the props and the grants to be able to do this. But everything that community information has been able to do is whether it's for voices or for promise or whatever. They make it available to the public and the whole community. The whole purpose is to give every tool that they make and create, make it available for all of us. Yeah. And importantly, it's free. So two things about how to give us feedback. We have what I call the nine second survey. There are three mandatory questions and several other optional questions about usability of this site. So if you have a chance to play with it and you have good or bad things to say, please take our usability survey. I'm going to go here to contact us, and here is our email address. And you also have, I believe, Stephanie's email address from, and maybe Celia's as well, from coordinating registration for this. So we're happy to help you however we can. We would prefer to figure out what people's needs are and address them in trainings like this to the extent that we can rather than one-on-one.


I'd just like to take this point to just a few announcements and a few thanks. First, all of our events today are being videotaped as you've looked in the back. And after some period of editing, it takes a few months, they'll all be on the website for the Precourt Energy Efficiency Center. For those of you who had to make choices between sessions, you can go to the one you missed through the website. In the short run, if you go to the website and that addresses PEEC, Precourt Energy Efficiency Center, .stanford.edu, you'll see two of the articles written up that have come from this conference, one on Bill Perry, one on electric vehicles, another's on the way being written on investing in clean tech. There's also been some tweeting for this conference, so there's already communications that are starting. I want to, before we turn to the last stage of this and the last stage of it is we have some beers made available through Gordon Bearsh, some wines from Wente, and some cheese from Muge Noir Cheese Company. Really first class refreshments afterwards. I do want to have some thanks. I'd like the group of people who are members of the committee that planned this to all stand up. I'm going to read the names at this moment.  Alan Gartner, Mark Golden, Brian Hannigan. Let me do it slower. Alan Gartner. Okay. Mark Golden. Brian Hannigan. Barbara Hadarn. Mukesh Khattar. Yoko Koshimoto. Anuranda Mushi. Mushi. Ralph Rene. Heather Richmond. Susan Sweeney already standing up in the back. Katherine Vogel, John Wyant, and Chuck Wilhelm. As I mentioned earlier, we've been working for a long period of time, and I hope you're pleased with the results of what people have done. Finally, I'd like to, well, almost, almost finally, I'd like to thank the sponsors. We started this with no sponsors, and you have a list in your program of a group of people who have been sponsors, particularly, I want to thank SRI and Noble Americas, who were the silver sponsors for this activity, stepped up to the plate beautifully, as well as a group of others that have helped get to a point where we almost covered our costs on this entirely, but this has been, I think, very, very, very positive. Finally, there is on your table the short feedback. Please fill it out, hand it out up front. It really will help us planning next year. Help us know how we should go out to communicate to the world that this is a possibility. Knowing what types of people are here, what your ideas for the future are, and what you really like will be helpful for us. So on that point, I want to give the final thanks to two other groups. One, the speakers. We had a spectacular round of speakers, and I just like a collective round of hands for everybody. But I've been going around marveling at it's not just the speakers. It's the type of dialogue we've been having, type of discussions. This is a very powerful audience, and the combination of speakers and audience really goes well beyond what you can do with just one or the other. So again, I want to thank you all, and I hope you all enjoy some of the products of three of our sponsors, Gordon Beirsch, Wente, and Ujë Noir. Thank you all.

Good morning everybody. I'm in Davenport, Iowa today and I am in a rush. I am trying to get home as soon as I can. I don't think we're gonna make it tonight but we're gonna get as far as we can. No time to chit chat. We gotta go. We're making very good time today. We're in Albert, Minnesota. Just grabbing fuel and we're gonna get right back out there. You know what it means when I have home at the end of my day, right? For in my sites. I don't know if we'll get there today yet. I don't think we'll get there today but I have it in my sites. There's a house and it's my house at the end of the tunnel. I can see it and there's no distractions today. No stopping. This vlog might be a little shorter. Just a lot of road footage. I'm just gonna hit that road. Is that a train? Which reminds me, I need to get those horns installed. And it's the closest big city to where I started. I think that's because I've been still focused on the road. Go, go, go, go. Just stop, quickly check the straps, check the load, then go, go, go, go. He's already in the process of doing it.  People can go around them, right? These guys are just choosing not to go around them. Just speed up and you're in a big truck. Just start passing them. They'll speed up. Passed by a big truck. Come on, Jeep. Hammer down. Get in here. Half the gear that was like slowing everybody down. Start, you can sort of... Stop for a breather here. We've been making good. We've had good today. As long as North Dakota doesn't give us some crazy middle of the night rush hour, it seems like we're gonna be all right all the way to the border. Just stop to check the load again and check all the straps. Everything is looking good. I still haven't showed it to you. I'll show it to you in the morning. I've got to keep going. I think I've got just enough time to get to the border. Possibly. We'll see what happens. I just wanted to update you and say hey, we're in Fargo now. We're gonna keep going. It's been a long day already. We're getting so close. We made it. It's the next day and I just crossed over the border. We're headed home. So I just quickly pulled in here to check things out. Check the load again. So yesterday, as you can tell, there wasn't much to show you. I was just... go, go, go. We made some pretty good time. I stopped for my half hour break. We stopped in... where was it? Albert Lee, Minnesota. That's right, for my half hour break. But now I just stopped a couple of times to check the load. Make sure the straps are tight. Make sure the load wasn't going anywhere or nothing. I was just booking it. So let's continue our journey now. It's the next day. Let's get to the house. That was a good trip. So this whole trip started off last week. We went to Canora, down to Brainerd, down to Lake Crystal, up to Saskatoon. Up to Meadow Lake, down to Valley, Nebraska, over to Davenport, Iowa. Back here. I'm excited to get back and see the family. Just going to be doing a reset here. I've got to get going day after tomorrow again. Continue on with this load to Alberta. But it is what it is. We'll enjoy every minute we can at home. So my thing is when I leave the shop here, I leave one way you can separate work from home is to have a certain object or something on you that represents that you're at work. It could be a bracelet. It could be a necklace. It could be a ring. It could be a hat. For this time, I don't have a special ring or anything. I'd like to get something yet. But for now, we're going to say this hat represents work. Now I'm going home. So I hang this hat here. It represents to me that I'm leaving work here in the shop. I'm off duty now. All of the worries, all of the stress, all of the shop talk, everything stays here with the truck. Now I go home and focus on my family. Then when it's time to go back to work, I come back in here. I put the hat back on and I mentally tell myself I'm now back at work. Now I can focus on work. Got to try to separate the two. And I've heard this before. I haven't tried it yet. I want to get like maybe a ring or a even just a necklace or something other than a hat. Something that I only wear while I'm at work so that I can detach my mind and leave everything at work and not bring work home. But anyways, the hat's hung up. That means it's time to go. Thanks for hanging out with me today for this short vlog. I'll see you in the next one. Good morning Chevy. It's four in the morning. We're at home today. That means we're on daddy duty. Someone who's hungry drank his whole bottle. He wants another one. We're warming up another one. He's getting so much more expressive. What do you call this pose? Ridiculousity, ridiculously good looking. Is that your Zoolander pose? He's looking at the big fluffy mic on top of the camera. He's a big fluffy mic. What is that? Give him a smile. Always too early for smiles? It's never too early for smiles. Never. He started smiling those last week. So right now in that it's like a little reflex. I'm not too sure if he understands it yet. But I know I'm warming up the next bottle. So yeah, it's about four. Well now it's probably four. Oh yeah, but four forty. It's been forty minutes that we've been up already. I feel like dude dad right now. Except he's way funnier than me. You guys follow him on Facebook and YouTube. If not, you should look up dude dad. D-U-D-E dad. Dude dad. It's hilarious. I mean his wife, they just had a newborn as well. I think they had their fourth. That's our first. He's hilarious. You guys should follow him. Okay. Here it comes. You ready? Oh yeah. Yeah. There it is. Yes. Yes. You said you wanted a second one, right? So I got the second one. I missed you. I missed you. You know that? I was thinking about you every day. I got pictures of you in my truck. There it is. There it is. We're letting mom sleep, right? Mommy's a little bit tired. One day you'll come with me in the truck. One day. Got a little bit of growing up to do first. So good. That's the good stuff. I picked the best one out of the fridge that I could find.


what I've realized is the two biggest wealth generators in the world are real estate and the stock market. I like to stick to what I'm good at. And I don't really have real estate because it's not something that I understand. I have to be educated first. I understand that no matter what we do, we have to learn. So just because I have a spare a million dollars doesn't mean that I'm gonna go buy a million dollar property. I think the people that become mega mega rich are experts in their field.
