I thought I'd include a developer highlight this time round. I probably should be doing more of these. There's lots of stuff that we land that makes life easy for our developers both in the community and here in our own teams. So the one that I just want to quickly talk to is the <IP_ADDRESS>.6, which is the Moodle. So essentially, our icon system, the JavaScript code that runs a lot of that, it's being converted to an ECMAScript module. You would say that poorly. You don't need to understand all the technical ins and outs if you really want to look at the code and look at the patch that has been written. But basically, it's just means you've got, for that part of the code, it's easier to follow and to use. It's more maintainable, which also means we've got this technical depth going forward, which are all three really important things when you're developing a code based on the size of ours. So that's one thing across the three main sections of the platform team and that's it for me, Adrian.


You know, it's it's amazing. I mean last year we had one guy who I've known since 2002 and He wasn't going to be able to fly in and stay for the con but he was like, but could you please please please? So I have them hold a batch for me. I'm gonna be landing in Vegas I'm gonna he actually made a special layover so he could run to the Rio buy some swag and then get back on the plane Because he hadn't missed one in like 10 consecutive years or something like that And that was the first one he was gonna miss and technically he said I didn't miss it because I still got the badge and I still got some swag That's what makes it so special, you know, I want to hear the war stories and I want to see it


Hey guys, it's Nate aka The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. Happy Sunday. Hopefully you're enjoying the Sunday, the weekend, and the last day that you have to play Foot Champions if you're not done already. Good luck finishing off those games for the interesting set of rewards that has come in this week. The EA has given us through the summer heat promotion, which we got some more interesting content on Saturday that I want to cover, especially this guy right here in the whole controversy around the Ryan Kent, not winning the SBC. We'll talk about that and actually how Ryan Kent could actually come into this game still with a footies card could still be an SBC based on what they did in the last year for footies, which is definitely now this summer heat promo rebranded for FIFA 20. So we'll talk about that as well. But I want to talk about this market as well, because it's Sunday, we can sell off time and we're seeing prices go down. And again, I want to cover kind of the situation with you guys and talk about these card prices. What can you expect? And what's just going to happen as this game is still slowly reaching a point where it is dying or reaching the end of the game cycle. But at least right now there's a decent amount of hype. A lot of people have said to me, yo, FIFA is dead. This game is trash. It's over. It's done. That is absolutely not true at all. Just based on the basically the fodder prices right now, just the people that are still on this game with the number of transfers that I see on the market, like this is not a dead number of live transfers as it reaches throughout the day. The people that I see talking about SBCs, I mean, the ease of matchups that I'm finding. And still some of the prices on the market are showing me and the movements on the market show me that people are definitely not done with this game yet. The one thing that is going to make this game die out a little bit more is the fact that EA is continually releasing good content, upgraded cards. We're getting a player every single day, whether it's an objective or an SBC so far in the summer heat promo. And especially with those SBCs and the icon upgrade and these upgrade packs, this market in this game is losing a lot of coins, like at an astounding rate. People are turning stuff into squads. People are turning cards in squad wise for prime icon SBCs and upgrades. They're doing these cards and there's going to be more summer heat cards that are continually going to come out and it's going to push people to be on the game and try to get those. But also at some point, you reach a point where you've just totally dispersed your club, you have nothing in your club and it's just dry and empty and that is when you start to see people fall off. But at least for the start of this promo, it is hype because people are playing the game. They're doing the objectives like this Mendy card. I don't even want to know how many people are going to finish this Mendy and how many people are going to finish Kessie as well because Kessie is actually really, really easy to do. I wouldn't be surprised if we get another objective summer heat player in the next few days. But that just bringing there's all sorts of the game. Whatever you're into in a FIFA, if you like gameplay, there's ways you can grind gameplay with objectives right now. If you like SBCs, plenty of SBCs to do. If you like playing the weekend league, of course, there's weekend league. But if you're a league SBC person, like if you like grinding the menus for league SBCs, getting those packs right now is like, there's no better time to grind the suit, live method, and even to trade with the requirements for these the league SBCs because they're all inflated because everybody's trying to get packs. So the potentials in this game is there's just lots to do right now on FIFA. We're getting cool cards. There's lots to do. So there is hype. So I want to kind of talk about that first. Tell me up and tell me there's not hype. There's absolutely hype in this game at the moment on FIFA team. So I want to talk about that. But we are in a period of the market where a lot of cards are starting to trickle down in value as we are seeing the weekend league sell off. And again, I mentioned this earlier last week. But this weekend league sell off is going to be, it's going to hit hard. This weekend is going to hit hard. There's going to be a lot of drops in price. As we see some of these TOTS cards who are not even in packs, obviously, just continue to fall off on the market in price because people are now selling these cards and they're selling cards, they have tradable in their squads, just to be able to go out and participate in the new content that comes out just to be able to come out and do SBCs that come out in this game. And you can absolutely trade with some of these cards that are out of packs. These guys fluctuate a lot. DePie, Phippen is telling me DePie right now is 240. That's why I wanted to look at his price because that's really low. But he's actually 265 on the game, right? So let's look at DePie really quickly. So he was 240 to 260. So actually right now he's on a high. But just look, this is the common theme we saw on Saturday, and it's going to continue today. Just these prices kind of tailing off as people go and sell cards to go do more upgrade packs, to go do more SBCs, or to complete new SBCs that come on to the game. And the thing that we're not taking into account today is that the Kent SBC did not come because if that Kent SBC came, there would have been so much more panic selling earlier today. Check out this card. This is the one that a lot of people are looking at today. Quincy Promes' Tots card was getting panic sold this morning because so many people in this game about the Kent SBC was going to come. He was 290k. When the Kent SBC did not get released, he went up to 370. He's now back to 345. There was a massive buyback on some cards like this today just because the panic was happening early. I don't even want to know what the rest of the panic would have been like on some other cards on this game if the Kent SBC would have come out because EA would have made it expensive. And if we look at SBC fodder right now, SBC fodder is through the roof. Any card that gets good links is crazy expensive just because so many people are doing SBCs at this time in FIFA. So yeah, that's just like the whole state of what happened today with the Kent SBC. And I wanted to run this by you guys as well because this is something that people have been talking about. And I don't want to talk about the Kent situation too much because it's just not... I don't know. It is what it is, man. It's just another communication type thing with EA Sports. Am I surprised that Yovitch won? Maybe a little bit. But again, I think I underestimated the amount of casuals. And this is another testament to how the game is not dead. If a player like Yovitch is winning a vote like this, the hardcore people, the hardcore footplayers at this stage of the game, you feel like it might have a little bit more of a pull, right? Just because of if maybe Kent won that, that would have told me that, hey, the community voted, the more hardcore players that know this game a lot that are on Twitter, that are on YouTube videos that have, you know, are in depth with like streaming and YouTube videos and like just in the FIFA community, they would know about Kent, right? But most of the casual world of FIFA players doesn't know a ton about maybe they follow a couple of Twitter accounts or whatever, but they just don't really know about the whole Kent situation. So a lot of people chose this Yovitch because if you think about the player pick, looking back on hindsight, it makes sense, right? It makes sense. Why choose a player from the Scottish Premier League or the Saudi League when you have a chance at maybe getting an upgraded Real Madrid striker? Albeit, is this card that good? If I'm not a Real Madrid fan, I'm going to say no to this. I would rather just get Tatsuarez, Tatsu Benzema or, you know, some of a different La Liga striker to be completely honest, or an icon for the price of this SBC. I'm not entirely sure how much this costs, 250K for this Yovitch card. Is this really worth 250? I don't think so. But that's I think why the casuals kind of carried this vote through with the Yovitch winning over the Ryan Kent is in my opinion what happened today. This Yovitch card, did it kind of hamper the hype today a little bit? Maybe a little bit, but still, I would love to see statistics from EA, right? If they're giving us a vote, they're giving us something to vote on, like we voted on team of your nominees, I wish they would show us the percentage votes, right? Okay, you can round, you can even, you know, just to show us by like, it doesn't have to be super duper exact and super, like, in depth. I don't need to see that, oh, 40% of people from Germany voted for Yovitch, and 70% from Spain voted for Yovitch. And, you know, I don't need to see that. I just need to see as a FIFA community, this is how you voted. And I feel like that would be a really cool, just extra stat to know, right? Especially with all these cards that are voting, we have more and more things every year in foot that are voting based, if we knew the percentage points, just how close it was, that'd be kind of fun, right? So I wish EA could tell us that because I know, and we know they have the statistics on all that kind of stuff. So I wish that we could see some of that EA sports, if you're listening, that'd be really cool. All you have to do is tweet it out, right? I think I tweeted today, I was like, if EA would tweet, all they had to say is, Luca Yovitch won the community fan vote for the skill move, boost, winner, SPC, summer heat card version, with a 56% vote or whatever, 56% of votes, this guy won. Like, that's all you need to say, like, that'd be fine, right? And I don't think, I don't even think they tweeted out this SPC today, but regardless, that is what it is. And then speaking on Ryan Kent really fast, Ryan Kent, last year during footies, there was a thing where, there was a thing where EA did the second chance. So the, they gave us a player pick of some of cards that were overlooked because they did not win their original footies votes. Like last year, it was Griezmann and I think, like, Malinkovich Savich or Condogbier or something like that. Those were some of the cards that did not win their initial vote. And there was a second chance vote. So we could still see Ryan Kent's card, which will be added to foot draft. The foot economist tweeted today and he said that they're going to let us know when those cards Kent and Musa are available in foot draft. They were going to give us that info. So we're going to see the Ryan Kent card and it might be able to be re-released via second chance.  It is something that we could see, just because that is something that happened last year. That's something to kind of keep in mind and think about as well. But again, back to what we were talking about with the market. If you have any cards that are impacts, headliner, shapeshifters, you know, those are the cards that are impacts along with like wants to watches and some other informs. If you have any of those cards, I think I forgot. Did I forget something? Headliner, shapeshifters, team of group stage, not scream cards. I mean, if you have like Firmino or Aguero or something, these cards are probably going to continue dropping. If we look at the trends from last year, these guys literally just kept going down in price. Like they just, they didn't stop. Like they just kept going down because they continued to get packed, more upgrade packs, people are losing coins as they do these icon SBCs. So that's going to lower the value for a lot of these cards. So if you're trying to trade with these cards, just be very, very careful. You will be able to like fluctuation trade them a little bit because these guys do fluctuate around in price because they're getting packed on a day when we have tradable pack supply, like the shapeshifter Lucas, like how much is this guy shapeshifter Lucas more as somebody that I traded with on a Thursday. I think it was because of him getting supplied with a with an SBC and then Bruno Fernandez as well. So this guy right now is like 86, 87,000 coins. This is a very kind of a rare shapeshifter card. The shapeshifters are already rare to begin with. This guy might fluctuate a bit, right? Let's say there's one day where we have packs that are released. He drops down to like 70,000 coins in like some, some undercuts and some selling and because people are packing him and then boom, he bounced right back up to 80. That's something you could see. It's especially going to work again next weekend on maybe like a Thursday, Friday type timeframe. It happened with Bruno Fernandez. How much is Bruno Fernandez this card right now? United played this weekend, so he's got some hype. 140K for Bruno Fernandez, the winter refresh player at the moment. I was buying this guy for 100,000 coins flat on Thursday night and I sold them all on Wednesday or on Friday for 120K plus and it looks like I could have sold for more, but I made decent profit then just because this is like the best version of Bruno. Again, the United hype is back, so that made him rise up a little bit and this is like the best version of this card in FIFA with primarily games back up and running. There's some more hype. People are playing man use squads, right? And they're using these players that they're now watching again in real life. Speaking of which, they confirmed and I think it was in a tweet earlier, but once to watch cards, headliners, team of the week is coming back on Wednesday. So watch out for some of the games this weekend. I haven't really kept close tabs on which cards have done well, which cards have had good performances, but if a card does get a team of the week this week, their headliner card or their once to watch could still get upgraded. That is confirmed by EA Sports. So with team of the week coming back on Wednesday, that's something that A, maybe there's some games today on Sunday still that you're going to be going and watching. Who plays today on Sunday? I don't even know. Let me check this really quick. Sofa score. Let me check and see what games we have on Sunday today. Maybe there's some OTWs involved. 21st, who do we have? We have Sheffield Newcastle. So I guess you could say Joe Wellington. I don't know if he's playing or not. Chelsea and Villa. So maybe we have a situation with Pulisic if he's playing. Real much Ridd. So you have the Yogic card, I guess, as a once to watch. That's just something to keep in mind. You have Lukaku for Inter. Just something to keep in mind that we have once to watch cards and headliners are live. Still, since we have real life games going on and team of the week does come out this Wednesday in foot. But again, the real story is just the market's going to continue to sell off. And this is a big question that I've gotten and I want to talk about it with you guys as well. Is there going to be a low point where these cards hit a low point on like a Sunday night, Monday morning, and are they going to rebound from that? In my opinion, I really don't think they are. I'm going to buy this and flip that for 140 really quick. Let's try like 137. That's a nice little quick flip right there. GGs. Thank you for the undercut, man. I appreciate it. Right there. Let's go. Anyways, if you want to buy any of these cards that are in packs, you definitely need to wait. I don't think there's going to be that much of a market rise from Sunday night into like Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday of this week, like we have seen in some of the weeks past. The only thing that I would be a bit skeptical about is if there is a market rise in some of the out of packs tots cards, that's where I would only see possibility and potential for a slight rise other than that. Anything that is in packs and just with all of the coin draining SBCs that are coming out as a part of this promo, I think you're going to see prices mostly trend downward and mostly just head into the red and keep going down this week for the most part. Just because people are losing coins, there's still going to be more SBCs coming out for people to drain their coins and for people to sink their coins into untradable content. Of course, as we get these new SBCs and as players come out like this Parasich card, Alfonso Davies went up a bunch. I don't know if anything really went up for Luka Jovic today, except for SBC fodder. Watch out for link investments to these new cards that come out because that is a very viable trading method at this stage that you could do. Since the focus right now, there's lots of SBCs going on. One thing you can do, and this is something I don't talk about a lot, but it is one thing that you can do is you can trade with footbin solutions. The prime icon upgrade, people are just doing these icons. You can look at some of the most popular SBCs that people are doing. Go onto footbin, look at the cheapest squads. If you're going out and actually look at this squad, Lopez is 65K, Armani is 57, Audubior is 37K. A lot of times what happens is, with these special cards especially like Pizzy, 100,000 coins for Pizzy is what footbin says at the moment. A lot of times these cards fluctuate a lot because when people go look for the cheapest solution, they go on footbin, they look for the cheapest solution and they just buy the cards that they see there or whatever. What happens is this SBC is actually not the cheapest for that long. All of a sudden, Pizzy says 100K on footbin, but then boom, if we go actually look at Pizzy right now on FIFA, this guy is not 100K. This guy is like 130,000 coins. So this is something that you could do with trading. This guy is selling at 130K. I bet he actually sells at 130,000, 209,000 coins as people are doing these SBCs, just because people blindly follow solutions and they don't check the prices. They say, oh, footbin says this is the cheapest, so it's got to be the cheapest. So what you can do is, going back here to footbin, you can go down the list and maybe find a squad. Okay, 312K is what this one costs. Maybe you find a squad that's got some cards in it that are actually kind of cheap or you go over the cheapest players by rating tab on footbin. You know a lot of these cards are linked together with like Konami bowls. Konami bowls would be something to not be interested in or Tots cards, especially like cruise 80K is cruise actually 80K on the market. Cruisa, cruisa. Max Cruisa is he actually 80K on the market based on what his footbin value says. I doubt he is. I doubt he is. He's actually 90,000 coins if we take a look at this right now. He's 90,000 coins and there's not a lot of them to 100K. So that's a 10K swing right there. You can make tons and tons of coins doing this because right now people are just so so addicted and so doing SBCs that it's crazy. Focus on the Tots cards and out of packs. Other specials would be my situation and my ideal scenario for you. But still when you get up these high-rated people just go into the SBC solutions and just buy the cards. So you can absolutely trade with the icon SBC right now with probably like the endombole SBC solutions you could maybe trade with anything that requires high-rated cards and these high-rated squads but the prime icon is the biggest one you could do. But just kind of watch the fluctuation of these cards too. Maybe if I check on if I click on cruise let's see what his footbin graph does. Let's see what this guy's footbin graph does on the daily because he's just needed for SBCs right? 79K up to 90 down just to 80K again. He went to 125. I bet I doubt he was selling there but maybe 100K down to 79. This guy bounces between 80 like 77 and probably like 92-93K at his utmost peaks. If you sell them at 90K there's 4.5K of tax if you're buying them at like in the 70s. There's definitely some profit to be made there. So you could just go on like the cheapest players by rage by rating on footbin and you'll find that a lot of these cards do sell because so many people are doing upgrade packs and especially during the week that is something you'll see people do because there's no week in league right? That guy's even fluctuating on the week in league when the menu content is kind of you know maybe not the forefront when week in league is the forefront of what everybody's doing in FIFA Ultimate Team. So that's one trading method that you guys can do right now that is very very profitable and it is it's working for a lot of people. It's not something that I do a ton but it does work and these cards are fluctuating a lot just because of SBC so that is something you guys could do to make some coins right now if you're looking to make some coin to do more SBCs to do more prime icon upgrades or whatever it may be.

A lot of the heartbeat behind everything we do here at CCU, whether that's in the classroom and chapel, is to go and to go do ministry, go out into the nations. I've been to Russia and India. Papua New Guinea, Wyoming. Australia, India, China, Malaysia. This spring break I'm also leaving a trip to England. Jesus is not known there. Religion is known there. Tradition is known there. But not relationship with Jesus. And so that is my main heart in wanting to go there.  Like it makes all the difference. I from the very start noticed the mission's heart and the mission's mindset that CCU has. We're called to go into all the nations and to declare his name. We got a chance to just spend some time with these kids that just really needed love. And so just being able to work with those kids and love on them and create a pattern where CCU is able to go back, I think that's really our goal. Slowly slowly the kids are going to start seeing the gospel more and more. I mean, I can say personally that I will be going back next year. Even when I was in Papua New Guinea, I would like write in my journal, I'm never coming back here. Like this stinks like, but then there were great days of outreach. Orphanages are illegal there. So I think he's working a process even in my heart to continue to go back and build relationships and somehow change the laws there. Wherever we're going, we want to take the mission and the gospel with us. The impact that that has on your own life and the impact that that has on your heart and then the impact you can leave on somebody else emotionally is incredible. I would definitely encourage students that are coming here to get involved with missions because I don't know, you find yourself really, really what does it mean to be guided by the Holy Spirit? Yes.


Okay good morning and here we are again. Lots of good gaps today. I like this the best. Let's quickly look at the market. You can do tea on your own if you want that's fine. Tea can be a little whippy though. It's either expensive in the UPS or whip. Tea can whip around. So if you do that I would just give it a wide stop. TXM was okay. I looked at Kuala Bear. I like UPS the best. I mean I'll look at everything else really quickly here but I don't really have much time. This looks good. This looks good. Okay good luck everyone. Let's do a quick one today. This doesn't look like it's open yet. UPS doesn't look like it's open yet. Here you can short tea right here Brad and put the stop at 85. You can do it right here 42 by 85 if you want it or anybody else. I'm gonna go back to UPS. It definitely has not opened yet. This hasn't opened yet. It's a bigger stop but it would have thought for this. UPS isn't open yet. I just have to wait. This doesn't look like it's trading but there was tea if you wanted it. Sort of. I don't know this is a little volume here. I'm waiting on this. I'm just waiting on this here. It's really low volume for some reason. Gosh maybe we should just do tea. I'm watching two things now because UPS is just really thin for some reason so I don't know why. I just don't even understand why this is so thin here. Here's the whippiness and tea. Alright 54 by let's put it 54 by 90. 54 by 90 tea short. I gotta get a play here. Here do it. Do it and get it right now and get the stop at 90 and move it to 90 if you did the other one previously. Put it at 90. Here we gotta pay attention to this now. UPS I don't understand what's happening with that. It looks bizarre. It looks really bizarre to me. Here it goes. Here it's starting to go. I still think this is very low volume for this. Okay decided to do tea. I will flip over to UPS. I don't I don't know why this looks like it's so thin though. It still looks too thin to me. It's it's moving now finally but it looks very thin. That's disappointing. Alright tea we have here and then UPS I will still watch if it ever gets going. Tea we're in. I really want to do two things but I'm gonna get going. There it goes.  There it goes. I didn't do it. Gosh darn it. I thought about for one second and I did tea first. Here UPS just had a massive move. Now it's open. I'm stuck in this now. I kind of was thinking about doing both and I hesitated for one second. I hesitated for one second too long. Wow. There it goes. I didn't even call the numbers. Did anybody just short it? I was like trying to figure out where I put the stop and then I didn't do it.  Look at that move. One ton. So I'm in this. It's gonna go. It's working but UPS is a better gap. It just opened so strange and so weird. I almost did two things. I don't like doing that. I don't know if we're gonna be able to get an entry in this now. Did anyone just do that? It just fell almost two bucks in one second. Just like the other one yesterday. Alright let's focus on what we're in now so this doesn't get away from us. Targets 31 through the low anywhere goes out. UPS I'll go back and look to. Did anyone short that there? I almost did it. That was hilarious. Here tea 3,140. Here I'll write all the targets in the room and these are baby targets. This might still give us a chance. UPS I will still watch. Tea we're in. It's a baby targets in this. Baby, baby, baby. This just didn't have enough volume today. That was what set me off and it's still gonna go and it was just unfortunately I don't know if we're ever gonna be able to do it now. The lack of volume in here was very odd to me though but doing it one second too long. You gotta be poised in ready to go. I mean that's for sure. TXN I wouldn't do it all. Very late but if you really are inclined to do UPS you could short it here. It's so late. It's two dollars plus put the stop at 112.50. It's two bucks. It's very very late but if you really want to do it it could have a big move today and it's a better gap. Here here TTT pay attention. We gotta make money today. Here it goes. Let's even get it right down. Kind of wish I was doing UPS though. Don't expect any big target in tea. I'm just letting you know how the stock trades. The big target was in this. No way to get in this put the stop anywhere differently or this goes. It's gonna go. Oh money is money. It doesn't matter which stock we make it in. If you get out of the tea fine. If you're holding it through a little bit more fine. It's really never backed up. So it's gonna hold today. That was an easy read. That was like so simple. Okay one more drop off in tea and I'm out. Wherever it goes I don't even care. UPS was working. Did anyone do UPS at all? I don't think so because no one wrote it in the room. Did anyone do anything differently? Here tea under the low. It was 32. Shower sinker did UPS. Initially. Here here TTT. The first one or then the two dollar stop. Here it goes T. I'll give you the targets on UPS then if you're in it. One person's in it I guess. Here we go. Here here here here here. Here this is it. This is it. TTT. I don't care where it goes. I'm out. Done. Nice quick trade. Fast trade. I'm not gonna hold it all the way down. It's too jumpy. That is a big move for this stock anyways. Do whatever you want. Could go to 31 today but I can't guarantee it happens in the next 21 minutes. Oh gosh you did to the first one. You saw me looking at it and then I just. Hesitation kills the cat and trading. Usually I don't hesitate but because I was already in that other trade I had to consider if I wanted to do two things which here look at this. Stay with it. Shower singers entities the only one. 109 for sure. 105 today is not out of the woods. That would be a dream target for this but it's certainly possible. This is the best gap. Just thought about it way too long. I don't think it's a bad rule though to only do one thing usually in a time. It's not like a rule that I have but it's definitely a preferred choice of action. This is the morning exit if you want to get out if you want to hold it bigger hold it. T is going a little bit more hand of the button if you didn't exit T though. Hand on it boom boom boom. Anyone still in this? Hand of the button here don't let it flip around against you. Nice solid morning quick fast easy. Can't complain about that. Alright let's look at this and this and this. What did what should my call up do? What was the one yesterday that flew like the Dickens? What was the one yesterday that went up? That was beautiful amazing. I can't even think of it now. What was the long yesterday? MCD I want to that's what I want to say. This is probably over the high. No. Fed's Investigating Suspicious Packages sent to the Clinton's America Obama. That sounds ominous. No this did not follow through that's unusual. You could put a stop at 3120. Close your eyes and hope it keeps going or your hand is on the button to get out any second. Looks like it's going to get to 31 to get out where I did fine. If we're still in it just don't make just when it bounces it's going to be done. So don't don't let it get away from you. It was the point. Nice solid easy morning. That's exactly what we would love to have every day of our lives actually.


from the Julia Morgan ballroom in San Francisco extracting the signal from the noise it's the Q covering structure 2015 now your host George Gilbert and we're back this is George Gilbert we're live at the Julia Morgan ballroom in downtown San Francisco at the iconic structure 2015 conference we have a very special guest with us Jerry Chen formally I guess we could say leading a big chunk of VMware and now have a move to Greylock Jerry good to have you with us thanks for having me so give us some context when when you moved over to Greylock what did the industry look like to you what were the opportunities you were looking for them you know I joined Greylock back in 2013 so almost three years ago and you know I saw there are a bunch of different waves happening technology from so the big data wave you saw the cloud wave and one of the waves that I was focused on is something I call a DDI developer defined infrastructure and what we saw at my decade of VMware was a shift towards developers as making decisions around infrastructure Amazon is a cloud is a perfect example of developers making what used to be IT decisions and so that led to a bunch of investments or a bunch of investigation by me technology like Docker which I invest in two years ago other data plays that also have been spending time in our security place I've been spending time in really looking at how developers and data scientists really are rethinking what traditional IT was would that be would it be fair to say that this was the capture the developer as the design win and then you know you have to reach IT who pays for sort of uptime I think it is fairly correct me I think all these technologies now there they're two halves to a product there's going to be a developer or data scientist or a user aspect to it and that user is going to be a developer for technologies like Docker or a database a data scientist for either a database or analytics platform or an user for like next generation enterprise apps be like a mobile client and but on the back side there's going to be an IT buyer security manageability scalability reporting auditing and so when you go to market you had to think about what's the IT buyer want all those LEDs but also what do the users want and that user population used to be either strictly IT or strictly end user but now the number of populations you sell to in a company have changed right developers data scientists business analysts mobile sales forces construction workers you know the population of users for technology has just exploded okay so let's let's take a look at that that we have what seems to be a slow motion price collapse and infrastructure software because of open source and because of cloud meter priding pricing you have to reach different constituencies so that would suggest perhaps a higher cost sell unless it's more self-service how do you square that circle you know it's um it's not really higher costs but the where you spend the dollars are different so for example open source is a great example look at a Docker or Hadoop in clad era two examples of using open source as a way to reach potential customers that reduces the friction for selling reduce of the marketing cost there's a selling cost of trying to sell the enterprise product behind the developer or data science adoption but those dollars are shifted right so whereas you used to have on a large marketing campaign to try out my new database or new language the open source has become a great way for developers and you know vote with their feet so they like the technology like the framework they'll use it and that's more or less not free you have to still invest and spend money into a developer ecosystem but the type of dollars change do the do the economics work where in the old day to get that initial sale yeah you needed the license sure you know and that essentially was a lost leader now is that initial sort of land you know of land and expand is that self-service enough so that we don't need the upfront license you know it's a great question I think there's there's two things are trying to unpack one is a shift from perpetual license to subscription right as well as kind of the cash flow issues of getting paid up front versus not getting paid up front for open source right so I think the county we were what ten years into the status business model now I think we learned that look if you can get the customer acquire the entity the subscription models actually great because it gets predictable revenues predictable cash flows you don't have to worry about renewals or lumpy enterprise sales I think the question that becomes how can you cost effectively land that customer and that's a combination of using new techniques like you know open source app stores for the consumerization of IT like Apple App Store the Google Play Store through the web so there are things you can do to reduce our cost of land but it's not for every product there's some products that are like large systems like enterprise applications that still have a large land because you're selling to the entire company so it's hard to be absolutely those they those have not gone through sort of the price collapse the applications that's correct that's correct because in infrastructure space yours you like you said you're stuck between open source and a cloud space right OSS in one side and in Amazon Google Azure on the other side and so threading that needle of how to you know use open source as as momentum driver but then sell enterprise products around or behind it is kind of a new business model that a lot of companies around here pioneering I think a couple companies involved with like Docker and Cladera are kind of proving that it's possible to build a business in this this world so let me go back on this on this topic and drill down a little bit a lot of the infrastructure companies I talked to say we're we're gonna make money by helping the customer operate our software okay in other words they understand they're not gonna make it in the initial sort of selling to the developer the design win but if you look at a matrix of sort of application software middleware infrastructure and a couple other layers and then there's performance management change management and high availability yeah basically when they say we're helping the developer run the software they're talking about like giving them a console in that one box in performance management I mean I'm exaggerating a little bit I think I think it is hard to say that's for all products right so I think from installation optimizing running monitoring upgrading tuning that whole lifecycle upgrading is part of running it right and you can either do that as a software subscription you can run as a service in the cloud but I think that lifecycle are all things enterprise will pay for yes and if it's in the cloud for sure you can capture that because you also get the integration points you're the vendors responsible for the integration points but if it's on premise yeah let's say it's you know you're a messaging product or some part that fits into a bigger stack every one of those products has their own failure model their own high availability model their own you know fault tolerance security model how do you get those to play together even if each vendor gives you a lifecycle that's been um that's and that's where everything old is new again right so I think we the pencil swings with these integrated systems where people try to sell storage compute networking a big box all the sun and then broke apart into like storage as a separate category network a separate category search separate category then how do you make those things run together support the things together as well yeah and just like the physical world you had this pendulum swing from integrated to piecemeal and they were viable business models and best of breed in software you also have folks who want to get off of the whole suite versus best of breed software products and just like the physical world where you had best of breed infrastructure physical infrastructure best of breed software infrastructure can also play well together okay so then it's a question of perhaps the class of customer like the early adopter can sure and sort of swallow the multi-vendor components so all right I took you on a digression to you know sort of operating expenses perhaps tell us what you see as some of the more promising well let's just make it open ended categories where you know maybe not the next uber but they you know what do enterprises have to do to move to you know beyond just the ERP replacement sure that sort of thing well I think ERP is a great category where you have large horizontal apps like HR CRM financials but I think different verticals also lend themselves to disruption as well I just invested in a company called Rumbix and the construction software space so construction is a ten trillion dollar vertical that historically has spent a lot of money on technology but now they're using GPS to like track their tractors and cranes using drones to measure progress and Rumbix is using smartphones and mobile technology to make your workforce more productive and safer and so you think about there's a bunch of horizontal applications like ERP mentioned but I get really excited by different vertical applications like construction like health care like financials that have plenty of opportunity for this kind of end-to-end applications that are they're very disruptive it actually can make a big difference in both the top line and bottom line for a side business and I imagine on those again part of the part of the value since it's being run by the vendor yeah the the problem with on-premise was every customer had to write the integration points and here the vendor can do it just to the common the common applications that their customers I built on-premise off-premise but I also think in this cloud world and the way apps are being built today everything is API everything has kind of a underlying plumbing so the way to integrate applications is a lot easier today and I think you're seeing a bunch of companies now come together to either build a full-stack app but can also integrate with like classic databases ERP applications security applications so I really think we're so integratable by design by design it's it's kind of like 10 years ago 15 years ago if you had a business you had to make sure you had a website now if you write an application you better make sure I have an API right because almost every app now it's going to have a way to integrate and talk to other apps by design okay all right Jerry Chen we're gonna have to leave it there no worries always great to hear your insights and this George Gilbert we'll be back in a few moments this is structure 2015 downtown San Francisco thanks


Jason, I'm looking at you. I just want to make sure. Can you see this? I'm going to click it. Can you see a copy of the book? Okay, great. So to get us started, let me just say it is the strangest thing to launch a book from a basement. I never would have imagined doing it. Not what I expected. And I was really grateful and shocked and surprised to get folks to weigh in on it, like Chicago native Arne Duncan. And I put that there because my story of practice really goes from the schoolhouse to the White House. But the hope was to actually write something that would be supportive and helpful across that spectrum. So it felt like a good thing for me if my mom friends and teacher friends could get value from what was laid out all the way up to and through policy makers. And so as we jump in, I'll sort of preview for you. We're going to take a look at how young people today are wired differently. You all have your own anecdotes and stories about what this looks like. So I'm just giving you the research that's going to back up what you're feeling and experiencing every day. And then some conversation about the future of work, why and how it's changing and what that means for young people. Again, with this is a room full of folks who are thinking about career pathways and CTE. So I'll try just to lift up things that don't often get into the conversations that we're having. And really where we're going to spend a lot of time is where P-20 councils can be so powerful. And that is thinking about, okay, so what actually do young people need to be ready for adulthood beyond completing high school? And when are those two things the same and when are they actually quite different? And then what do we do as adults to get there? I should mention to you just a little more about my background so that you understand. I started out teaching pre-K, which was the hardest thing I ever did, and then moved to fifth grade and then eventually ran this high school for 17 to 21 year olds on a technical college campus in the St. Louis area. National work came after closing that school. It was painful and deliberate. We realized that we couldn't actually do our mission. We couldn't educate and equip young people in all of the ways that we know that we needed to to get them ready for life after high school and also satisfy the Missouri Public High School requirements with a young adult population. And so we made this decision. We took a year. We transitioned every single student really carefully and deliberately. And then we went out and made a public statement and said completion from high school is not always the same thing as readiness for life. And we need to figure out what that means. And that was my transition into national work. And so I have spent the last eight years trying to answer that question. What actually does readiness require? And then what do we who are raising and working with kids need to do to get our kids ready and to see it as a fundamental right? So that's the posture that I'm coming to you from today. And in terms of my own lived experience, I'm a GED recipient. I actually spent a lot of time thinking about high school, high school reform and innovation in my professional life, but only completed eighth grade and went to a little bit of ninth grade. So I have a very interesting perspective from from the lived piece as well. So jumping in and and again trying for brevity. So I just want to kind of anchor us in who, who are the high school students that you all are spending today thinking about and your recent grads or some folks in higher ed. So I want to look at young people, let's say 15 to 25. Right. So in the sort of peak of adolescents, older adolescents, young adulthood. In what we know kind of about them, but just to clarify, these are kids who were born in the days after 911. They started kindergarten right when smart technologies came out and Wall Street crashed. And now they're graduating thinking about graduating trying to find work and education opportunities in the middle of COVID and it's aftermath. And so the thing that's really important for us to just always have in mind is that this generation is its own generation that COVID kids have had all of the major milestones of their lives, book ended by crisis by major crisis. And then we think about the way that breaks down for particular groups of kids. One of the things that I've been thinking about a lot recently is what it would have been like to be a young brown man born in the days after 911. Muslim see can do what that how that whole experience would have been framed all the way up to and through the racial uprisings and the violence that we've experienced in the past year. And how that impacts that young man, and then you can go for so many others and think about what the actual lived experience has been. And so what that means and what is so important for us to keep in mind is that young people today, particularly those who you really focus in on those who are in high school, and in the transition into college. They are they are both disruption and digital natives. They only know a world in crisis. They only know a world shaped by disruption and volatility and rapid change. So while we as adults might have this experience of deep overwhelm and overload and we know a different. They don't really. And then there's the circumstances and context of each kid based on who he is, where he lives, what his identities are what his heritage and cultures are.  So here's Harrison and justice Harrison we call him coa we're native Hawaiian. He's the little toothless one. And justice is the one with the Cardinals hat not cups I saw all you Chicago land folks we are die hard Cardinals here. And it would be very funny to like see people start to just log off be like no not listening anymore. I gave you this toothless picture of Harrison because that is the Monday after school closed. He was supposed to be child of the week. It was his eighth birthday. He was ready for it. And he had his poster done he had colored everything.  And he that was the last time he was in school. And that completely shapes and chefs what his experience is going to be. Harrison also only knows life with life shooter drills. He told me when he was in kindergarten that he would just climb into his backpack and that was how he would hide from a bad guy.  We live in St. Louis, my God children who spend their summers with me live in the city, they're black, they live in Ferguson, we went through the experience of the very real moment to moment concern for their safety and well being. And the kids remember that too. They don't understand aspects of it but they understand the unfairness of it. On the right you see the boys in the middle of the pandemic on all of their devices exactly where I am so they're on mom's remote work setup. And they were born in 2010 and 2012 and smart technologies came out in 2007. And what that means for for them in particular is that I told everybody I was pregnant with them on Facebook. So their, their social and digital footprint starts without their permission before they're born. This is all that they know. And we see that with high schoolers to in the book. I talk about my mom who is a substitute teacher she's been unable to work all year in the Edwardsville school district. She had a group of high school kids and she asked them what they would leave behind, or what they would grab if there was a fire. And every single one of them said their smartphone. Not photos, not family, not anything else. It is their connection to life, but it also is made up of apps that were not designed with their development and well being in mind but rather their use and their reuse in mind. And so, on the digital side you have this incredible opportunity of kids who feel fluid because they don't know life any other way than going in and out of tech. On the other side, they're engaged at such a hyper-connective level that the ability to focus and unplug and get quiet is hard. So hard in fact that some researchers think it is more intense than a crack addiction. And so you think about what does that mean in this past year. Right, so we've got these disruption natives and we have these digital natives and in case I don't get to share it later. What I want to share here is my hope. They're also increasingly diverse, increasingly inclusive, and I believe that they are poised actually to be history's greatest change makers. They know how to use the digital platforms to be active agents and to be involved and to be vocal, but those issues are completely defining and shaping everything that they are and what they see from their families and their communities. And so rightly mobilized that sort of angst and agitation and fear and concern but also incredible skill and know-how could lead to radical change. I think there's really deep hope in that. So that's who our kids are. And a big, oh, for those of you who are able to see the tech, I forgot I had this slide in here. This comes straight out of the book and really it's just telling me that I'm like full-on adulting. That my kids life is so much different than mine, but it's a little comparison if you're out for a walk and you can't see it. It's comparison of the technology I grew up with versus the technology that my kids grew up with. And as any of us who have kids know or grandkids or you're in the classroom every day, the biggest thing here is that instant gratification and that sort of information obesity. There's so much just coming at them and available to them every day. So now I want to shift us and ask the question of why, why are kids disruption and digital natives and what do we need to be thinking about. So what we know about the brain is that the brain is designed to wire based on experience and environment. And so the other thing that we know now about adolescence that we really didn't know before is I'm actually going to pause because most of you are frozen on my screen. Jason, let me pause for a second. Can you still? Okay, great. It's raining here in Edwardsville. I don't know about the rest of the state. So I was worried I was talking to myself. So the brain wires and rewires based on our experiences and our environment, which is so important to understand. And what we now know about adolescence which is kind of, you know, it's an onset of puberty until like 25 or 26. So what we're looking at a long stretch 12 to 26 sometimes is that the brain is actually developing just as much an adolescence as it does for toddlers. So tweens and teens have as much going on in their brain developmentally than toddlers do. So understand that think about your work and how hard it is to get people funders others sometimes to care about teens, tweens and young adults, but the investments in the conversations and early childhood. Now, the early childhood community would say they still need more attention, but it's easier when the kids are cuter, but the reality is there's just as much happening during this period. And as these world changes are happening. The wiring and rewiring is just sort of turned on to hyper speed for our older, our older students. So for all my career tech and career pathways folks in the room. So what I think about the future machines is tech momentum is how fast everything is happening. And then market is really where you all live in P 20, which is like what happens in life after high school, economically, education wise employment wise. Machines really deal with okay so what is the wrong tech shaping what's happening now and what will happen later. And the big hit here is that we need to understand that young people will continue to have this tech touch relationship or this man machine relationship, and that from a career perspective, they will need to learn how to work on tech with tech and in some cases for tech. And what we also know is that the rise of artificial intelligence means that a lot of jobs are going out, but actually new jobs are good. So one of the things I want to just kind of press into here with you all since you think about career pathways all the time is that technology is best for things that are predictable and patterned, which means that I actually would love to see us move from talking about high growth jobs to really talking about high value jobs to move from blue and white color jobs to durable or not as durable jobs. And what are the jobs that are most durable, they're the ones that work well with tech, and they're the ones that are fundamentally unpredictable and not patterned, like teachers, things that you know, you just, you just want a human who's, who's doing it but you also want to human I mean look at pandemic life, who knows how to use the tech and can use the tech well. So that's machines in the book, I give way deeper treatment to types of tech, the relationship of work and careers with technology acceleration so you can find those pieces. The most safer momentum on our call is that momentum names that things actually are changing just as fast as we feel they are changing that that is a real thing that things have sped up that acceleration and disruption continue to just catch speed. Everything is kind of open source that society itself is open source and that kids are living in this very exposed open world, and they've got to figure out how to navigate that. And the last piece are markets, and this is where I want to delineate from a book perspective in case you want to read it and read it with folks in your agency or organization or district, what this book is and what it is not. So, this year we saw as as humans ourselves as caretakers as people raising and working within caring for kids the need to actually attend to surviving and thriving at the same time. It wasn't enough just to focus on thriving and flourishing when there were real pressing basic issues going on. My friends in Virginia talk a lot about Maslow before blooms and really at some in some moments that's true another moment to its Maslow's and blooms at the same time. And, and really what I wanted to do what I saw the need for was being able to write what the research says about the messy middle that life is actually unfair and unjust in this moment. And that it's hard and complicated and challenging, and that our students deserve an accurate roadmap of how that world operates and how the world of opportunity operates in America, even as we partner with them to try and create a better world. So the problem of school leadership, the problem I experienced being an LEA representative being an administration working with the Department of Ed, was that we are operating on a contract, an understanding that was always inequitable, but is now completely out of date. And that contract that we have with ourselves said that if you just do these things, you're going to be okay.  You get jobs you get better jobs you get better pay, and hopefully you retire better often your parents and you leave something for your kids. It's not, it's not real. And so I want to push you to shift your thinking from college and career readiness, expand it to what does it take to have a long and livable life. How do we go beyond college and career readiness to talk about long livable lives. What is a good life and what does that look like, because actually the way that it really works that it's working now and increasingly will work moving forward is that kids after high school, enter this super complicated chaotic marketplace, where they have to purchase opportunity.   You're lying, because actually it not only matters what you can do and what you can show for it, but who you know and what financial resources you have. And if you know the right people and you have enough money. It actually doesn't matter as much what you can do. Right, or if you don't have the credential and you're super skilled but the employer requires the credential. It doesn't matter how skilled you are.   And you don't have the money. You're still not going to be able to get all the opportunities you need.  We want to truly live into the missions of our district and state and say actually we are preparing these young people for life after high school for college for careers and for citizenship. We all need to get really honest about what that actually requires. What that actually requires is a combination different for every single kid of competencies cash credentials and connections, what you can do, what you can show for it, who you know, and how much you can pay, and that it's fluid and depending on kid, depending on context, depending on circumstance, but that that is how opportunity works in the US, and it's not fair, and it's not equitable, but it is real. So let's talk about what that means briefly, but what I want to just flag for you is if you are interested in using the book in the book. Each of these goes into detail on what's the science, what's the research, what's happening right now, and then very specific strategies for individuals but also for districts and states so you could think about priorities and sort of conversation points. I also wrote this with parents in mind. The pandemic happened in the middle of the book, and I didn't even realize that households would become homeschools but I knew that parents are important educators and their kids live since our community members and so I wanted this to make sense for them. Okay, so now you get to see more pictures of my kids super briefly and I just want to do a time check with you all I'm going to talk for another five minutes, and then we're going to talk together for about 10 I am going to take a couple extra minutes. But if you have questions start putting them in the chat now. So competencies are the way that I think about them I've been super involved in competency based education K 12 and higher ed, and the credentialing space. I helped actually when the Illinois competency based ed pilot was getting off the ground and my school was competency based. It's a little different, just a little bit. This is what are our ways of being and doing in the world that can be learned and strengthened over time. So if you think about your physical body system. There's it's super interdependent if my heart's beating faster I'm breathing faster. We have these ways of being and doing that are exactly the same as those physical body systems. So my ability to be being and doing in the world. My ability to focus is in direct relationship to how healthy I'm feeling how rested I am my ability to be a creative thinker has to do if I can focus. So there are, there are these 10, and they're consolidated in the book but they came out of a very lengthy research project that I did called the readiness project and it looked across all of the things what do doctors say what do educators say what does the science say and what what do folks in other countries say young people need as they learn and develop and go into adulthood. So this is really helpful. If you're trying to pull together the SEL folks the deeper learning folks the CTE folks, the employers, because it's common language, and it's written in a way that anybody can understand connections. So I think about this as social health and social wealth, social capital, and it matters, and I actually think that this currency might be the most valuable of all. I think about the number of opportunities people get because somebody sponsors them socially, they vouch for them. They make them aware of the opportunity, they bring them in socially they sort of bridge them over. One thing I do want you to know is that we're not talking about. So back to the brain, adolescents, teens and tweens, and young adults, they are designed to be hyper social. It's how they actually learn and develop. So to the extent that they weren't this year, we need to be aware that some of the learning struggles that are going to crop up might actually be in relationship with social connections being limited, and the needs deliberately designed for that. So just be aware of that. So social health, social wealth, I think about three different types of relationships and dig into them in the book. So, you know, we've all heard like, if a kid just has that one caring mentor, one caring adult, they'll be okay. It's true. But man, is it so much better if they have more than one. Right, so much better.  The book is dedicated to her, but it wasn't only her. And so the importance of lifelines I think for this group is, is this, we are living in a time where we cannot promise young people economic stability. We can't even promise them household stability, but we can work to provide social stability. And those relationships are going to matter more than ever before. Big data point from the book that transformed how I parent and would totally change how I was leading my school if I was still in leadership. With the right resources and supports. Today's kids could actually as a rule live to be 100 years old, not the exception. That means the prospect of an 80 year work life. An entire literal lifetime of work in a time of change. Right, like I'm exhausted just even thinking about that. We have to be thinking not just about what will you do when you grow up, but what are the issues, interest and ideas that you want to go after in a number of different ways and roles. You will have to make yourself continue along a possible 80 year working life and how often that will require going back and upgrading or updating what you know and can do the sort of literal lifetime of learning and work. And at least I'm so curious what you're going to say as I talk about credentials because I know you're feeling how much the higher education world is changing. So I'll just give you the highlights here for all of you who are thinking about career planning and doing that with young people. I would love to see you actually shrink your time horizon. And instead of looking out on what do you want to do across your life or across the next couple of decades to apply a now next principle because things are happening so fast. And what is the training and credential that you need now based on what you need what you want and what you're prepared in position to do to provide and to contribute in the ways that you want. Because kids will have to go back and the thing that I don't know every that everybody is picking up on or catching up with is that we have literally hundreds of thousands of post secondary credentials at this point, and more than half are not offered by colleges and universities. So we're in this weird tipping point right now, where organizations and companies are offering just as many post secondary credentials as universities and colleges. And I don't know who can keep up with that. And so in the book I just offer a set of questions based on super smart people, a couple of them from Chicago land about what we need to be asking and thinking about as we're helping young people to prepare. But that now next principle is important. That picture is me and three of my four brothers, only to point out that we all had very different journeys. The sunglasses guy is exactly I think what he looks like he was an artist he dropped out of school school know GED was an artist and comedian and did well because he knew the right people including like Robin Williams who he met when he was living in his car. And he was obscenely talented. Mark with the aloha shirt I mentioned being Hawaiian had an incredible internship in college he was a political science major, and he had a journalism internship. And he fell in love he was really good and the college wouldn't shift to scholarship to journalism. And so he dropped out, and he became one of the youngest producers for MPR ever. He's now back in school as an adult student because he hit a wall he couldn't go any further without an undergrad degree, even though he was so good and he knew the right people and he had the right competencies but in journalism and radio. The wall could not he could not get through it. I already told you my own story which included starting not only with the GED but starting at Community College. And then David the baby if you can see it well enough, he was about Victorian from the same high school my older brother and I dropped out of and went to Harvard.  So just to point out the importance of these pathways, even within a single family.  And they're robbers right there I couldn't find a good cash picture so you just got a cute one. But we don't talk about it and it matters and oh my God if there's one thing I could come back and talk to your network about it would be how abysmal our financial literacy is in schools across the country and how non reflective are the realities that young people in their families face, and that if we're actually going to be preparing young people for college and career and citizenship. How dare we not give them a better grounding on the financial realities they're up against, and the need for us to update that and really do two things one is this past year showed us we actually need better ways of understanding how to keep kids moving forward during times of financial scarcity and crisis, because so many across income levels are experiencing it and they still need to keep moving ahead. And I put strategies in the book there are ways to keep them going, even as they are in crisis, while still being super sensitive to those realities. The poverty is a little bit different, but there are still ways if we have the education and training we need. But that financial literacy piece is just huge. So those are the four. And then the question is like what does that mean for us what does it mean for the state for school districts for higher ed. How do we actually do this work. So this is going to be my cliffhanger to you before we open up for that the 10 minutes of questions is systems will not move at the speed of change that we need for kids. And, and they will remain unfair and unjust and so we're called as the adults in the room to have this dual obligation. One is to figure out how to transform systems, whether it's dismantling disrupting or redesigning or adjusting or some combination of that which is my belief. But then the other is how do we operate within those broken spaces to still affect change for the young people we're serving and working on behalf of every day. There are some really good practices that not only we can adopt for ourselves as as workers and for many of us as parents, but that we can also prioritize in our school buildings. And there are ways that we can do it. And so the end of the book really talks about what it would look like if we were currency builders what would it look like if Illinois was, you know, adopted this belief. Listen, through the leadership of NIU and the state and so many of you Illinois is well beyond any other state in the US when it comes about thinking about workforce readiness and career readiness I know it feels isolating but you are the pioneers. This is a state positioned to really truly give that accurate picture into practice of what young people need to be ready. And for me, these pieces are where it is we have to actually adopt them as a set so I'm not going to read them to you can see them. If you can't see them this is being recorded, and I'll just sort of tease and T up that in the book it goes into the edge you speak of okay that social emotional learning that might be called deeper learning that might be called culturally responsive or anti racist education, and how maybe we would melt those together. So that is your tour to force. This is the picture Jason mentioned we went out in the rain and now I'm like what my hair is wet and out in the rain again but this was this past weekend we finally got outside in Madison County and found the book that this is where you can find me and I am transitioning next week actually to full time consulting to be able to support more folks like you on the ground. So I'll still be working with JFF but I am, I'm shifting so you know I'd love to be able to work together on this because you are the, I believe so strongly you'll see it on the website that Children's and P 20 councils are two of the most important bodies that there are right now. I believe very, very strongly in this network it's why I showed up today. So I hope that this was helpful. The next 10 minutes are only as helpful as you make them. So if you've got questions throw them in the chat, or I think that because we're in in meeting form you actually could take yourself off mute and ask your question. I have a question. So I'm really I took like three pages of notes. I'm from St. Charles School District, we're a pre K through 22 school district. And I'm really thinking about what you said about the system won't change at the rate that we need it to for our students and the questions of how are we going to dismantle the system or work within a broken system. So as we think simultaneously through those two questions. What would you recommend in terms of being the right next step and moving forward. Yeah, so I think. Okay, so I'm going to try to contextualize a little bit to this room in particular, I think that there are maybe three really important things to do for really important things to do right now. The next question is at the high school level to regularly revisit graduation requirements and to really ask, are these reflective of completing high school and reflective of what is needed for life after high school or they actually only reflective of completing high school. And if so, who needs to be in the room community leaders and employers to be informing.  I think that it's really important to have the ability to touch base with your workforce boards because things are going to be changing so quickly in terms of the labor market. So that's one. The second is the sort of resurrecting and re energizing of community school partnerships because schools cannot do it alone, and households were home schools and so we're community centers. And so really thinking about how to take a young residents approach, who are the young residents in our community and what is it that they need to learn in the first quarter, the first 25 years of life, and who is everybody who is involved in that and really thinking about kind of these first quarter strategies. And then the third actually shows up Melissa in my introduction, which that radio brother had to help me with because I was in total panic. This is the role of mental health services and student supports, I believe every single school district, all the way through the federal administration needs a chief trauma officer in this year and moving forward someone who's sole job it is to understand toxic stress trauma and mental health who is at the decision making table, because there has been trauma and stress, and challenge, and grief and loss at every single level of the system. And that's going to have a huge impact so those would be my, my three sort of off the cuff that get at system and trickle down to the actual, you know, day to day interactions with our students and our educators. Thank you. Yes. Okay, let's see. Katrina, do you mind actually coming off so that people just don't have to watch me read and asking your question. Sure. Yes, can you hear me. Yes. So I'm a mom of a preteen and a teen and I'm the whole time I'm listening to you I'm like oh we need to watch this at dinner time tonight. And have them start thinking and sharing their thoughts. I'm also really cognizant and aware that adolescents right now are feeling really anxious about an uncertain future. And share your thoughts about how we support them and, you know, make them feel safe and supported but also recognizing that they're entering into a world that we have never charted before. Yeah, there's some ways that we can help them. Okay Katrina so I'm going to go total mom and social worker on you because I'm an educator and a social worker and I think that actually like basic counseling principles apply here, which is, you're right this is why I completely understand why you would be anxious about it there are so many reasons why, and we are going to do this journey together. And actually naming that there are unknowns and uncertainties and then looking for what is timeless and certain. So this is why I mentioned what I did about social stability, we need to name and be honest for kids where there is economic uncertainty financial uncertainty job uncertainty, and then really focus on the things that are certain love and support relationships, who they need to react to and count on and create a really solid core, because otherwise like what I hear from kids and have since the book came out to, they think they're crazy for feeling so anxious about it, like, am I making this up. So what everybody's going through something am I overreacting should I really feel like this, and I think it's like completely appropriate, especially at the hyper connective part of like, there's been a level of grief and loss for our tweens teens and young adults that is different from us that has affected their bodies and their brains and their futures. So that would be my, my recommendation, I would love if your kids read the book with you and you got back in touch in Edwardsville the library actually have a session where parents brought their, their adolescent kids with them into a conversation about this. That's great. Yeah, we'll we will check it out. Awesome. Okay, Jason, I'm looking at you because I could do questions all day, but we are at the hour.
