This is around the Northwest this Monday afternoon. Now there is a woman in Van Fahey who makes bed mixes and Has now got her bed mixes into Aldi stores around the country She is a champ McCann of Wild Cushia bakehouse and she's participating in the grow with Aldi programs That means that her produce is in the Aldi network of a hundred and fifty stores around Ireland And shan joins us now. Congratulations to you. Well done We're delighted I can hear me. All right. I can indeed. We've been a good delay, but that's no problem. Yeah, and When I mean, it's very recently that you got to use does this mean that your bed mixes now are in in Aldi's right around the country Yep, they are indeed the hundred and fifty stores. So we we popped in on Thursday We went live on the third Thursday 19th So we popped into letter Kenny and it was just lovely to see them in local stores. So yeah, they're around the country as well because you can You know work away really hard behind the scenes and perfecting your produce, but Sometimes I'm sure as a local producer and an independent producer. It gets frustrating when You can't reach bigger markets that they're for one reason or another. They're denied to you. Well, that's that's not the case Yeah, it's been an amazing opportunity and the Aldi grow program has been fantastic. They're very helpful and This is all new to us. So they've been helping us You know with from small things like building a pallet to You know, just how you get in social media and so they've been very helpful Now you make three award-winning bread mixers and there's there's two of those available in Aldi. Is that right? Yes, we put in the bread and the wheat and bread and they both have two stars from taste and then we also have a stout bread and which one is silver at blasts and a heron and we also have a Scone mix which we haven't actually entered into an award yet, but they're really good too and they're all very easy to make So we'll try baking. It's it's a nice way to start off Really easy instructions the back. You don't need too many ingredients and I'm even I even have a YouTube channel. Would you believe I never thought I would say that so you can log on to YouTube and And we show you how to make them So you're continuing to progress Yes, we have some ideas for other products that we'd like to do and find the line and But that's it's we're gonna I suppose mark it what we have at the minute and when we get We'll develop some more products But yeah, it's been it's been a roller coaster. It really has Because you've only been opening what? Although there's a couple of bad bad years there Yeah, we opened a bakery in Dunfany and which I loved it was great We made cakes and traybakes and breads and everything and it was actually our customers They're asking for our breads to take home to Scotland and England which inspired the bread mixes So when we got hit with COVID We were close for 15 months out of the eight ten and we just had to draw a line under the bakery So we used our time and I did a social media course with the TV and We started a website and We worked on developing the range of bread mixes because we only had to at the start So we really spent our time trying to help the bread mix side of the business. We just had to shift our focus Well making bread at home or going it's not the most complicated thing But this makes it even easier for somebody that there just might be a bit reluctant or a first-time baker This makes it even easier It does it we like to say there's no mess and there's no fuss So you like the scones you only need two ingredients And a neg and if you don't have buttermilk you can always use ordinary Milk and the soda bread just needs buttermilk and if you're vegan you can use plant-based alternatives They all taste very good But yeah, they're very very straight forward to make So if you do want to use plant alternatives for that that option is there there is that kind of Yeah, there is yeah, I like the soda bread in particular Because you can add other ingredients into it. So if you've mastered The wheat and bread, which is the easiest one you can move on to soda bread and you can add in Like black olives you can add in blue cheese. You can make it a sweet version with Sultanas and cinnamon So there's a whole range of things you can do with the soda bread to impress your friends and Just change it up a little bit Yeah, exactly exactly one of my favorite ones is to add in a wee bit of cooked bacon into the dough and Then you toast it and pop a wee poached egg on top and your whole breakfast there And you don't have all the dishes to worry about either Fantastic brilliant. Well, listen look out for them in all these stores now at nationwide Wild Pansy at the big house and the line just isn't the greatest chance. There's a wee bit of a delay as well But congratulations once again and and continued success. Thank you very much and thanks for having me today

According to clinical social worker Leah Aguere, trauma impact how we view ourselves and the world at large, which in turn influences how we relate and respond to other people. So it should come as no surprise that trauma can lead us to develop maladaptive behaviors and thought patterns that hinder us from having healthy and meaningful relationships with those around us, be it romantic or platonic. Although the American Psychological Association's clinical definition of trauma includes only life-threatening experiences such as disasters, accidents, assault, and so on, Aguere explains that trauma can be generalized to mean any stressful event or experience that threatens one's sense of physical or emotional safety and well-being. So it's important to keep in mind that trauma can be subjective, and it can impact us in different ways. If you have unhealed trauma, you may engage in behaviors and thought patterns that are damaging to your relationships without even realizing it. Want to know more? Here are five ways that trauma can ruin your love life, according to experts. 1. Lack of Trust The nature of the trauma experienced can sometimes lead you to develop strong feelings of mistrust in yourself or towards others, such as if you were abused, mugged, or assaulted. This can make you view the world as a dangerous place. Question the intentions of others and constantly seek out warning signs, says Aguere. But that sense of safety and security is important in building a strong foundation for our romantic relationships because without it, there can be no true closeness or emotional intimacy. 2. Low Self-Esteem Another way trauma can impact your love life is by diminishing your sense of self-worth and self-esteem. Experiencing trauma, says clinical psychologist Dr. Randy Gunther, will naturally make us feel sad and down, which can worsen into feelings of shame and self-limiting beliefs. You may feel that you're at fault for what happened, that you deserved it for some reason, or that you should have done more to stop it or fight against it. These harmful beliefs will often lead to thoughts that you shouldn't be in a happy relationship or that you're not good enough for the person you love. And because of the sense of familiarity it gives, you may also find comfort in validation and toxic relationships. 3. Controlling Behaviors According to clinical psychologist and self-help author Dr. Jill P. Webber, trauma can lead to unhealthy relationship behaviors such as clinginess, dependency, and being overly controlling towards one's significant other. This is especially common if the trauma is related to betrayal, such as cheating in past romantic relationships. It's not uncommon for those who were cheated on and those who cheated to develop a strong need to always keep in touch with their partners and even try to control what they do, where they go, and who they spend time with. 4. Conflict aversion Similar to our previous point, Dr. Webber explains that people who suffered from emotional abuse in the past may become extremely conflict averse. This is harmful for relationships because couples need to learn how to resolve disagreements in a healthy way, not avoid them. Conflict is also necessary to learn how compatible you are with your partner in terms of your values and goals. But if you're still suffering from emotional trauma, you may feel panicked by the thought of conflict and be triggered by the slightest of disagreements. As a result, you might ignore red flags, people pleas, and repress your true feelings for as long as you can. But until you learn to work things out with your partner, your relationships are bound to suffer. 5. Loneliness Finally, arguably one of the most damaging ways trauma impacts your relationships is through the persistent feelings of loneliness and disconnection it can evoke. According to mental health care professional Leah Aguere, this is brought about by the underlying belief that no one else could ever truly understand what you've gone through, so it's difficult to feel connected to other people. Other examples of trauma induced loneliness include struggling to stay present in the company of your significant others, not feeling seen by them or not feeling like you belong with them, being unable to enjoy physical intimacy, and struggling to emotionally invest in the relationship. So what are your thoughts on this video? Do any of the things we've talked about here resonate with you? If you have unresolved trauma in your life that's hurting your relationships, know that there is hope and that it's possible to heal from your trauma. The good news, according to Dr. Gunther, is that as long as couples care for one another, they can weather any challenge that comes their way.  Get your very own sigh.

that later. I misspelled some stuff. In the chat below, do me a huge favor. Tell me how long you actually do this before that. How many live events have you been to? And if you've never been to a live event, and I'm not talking about like even a virtual live event, I'm talking about like a main, big, old, old school, like five, 6,000 people or 500 people, 1,000 people, 2,000 people. How many events have you been to? If you don't mind, just put it in the chat really quick. I want to see how many events you all been to. How many big events have you been to? Okay, so 5, 4, 1, 9, 0, 0, 10, at least. Nice. 0, 0. Okay, well, how this is just, I thought you guys had left. I mean, I thought you're gone. Can you say hi, everybody? Can you say hi to the world? I will come outside. Are you guys leaving? Aren't you leaving? No. Where are you at? I thought you already left. Okay. Hey, I'll be done in just a second. Okay. All right. Say bye, everybody. Bye. Say ciao. Okay.  Come on. Go, go, go. I was going to talk for a bit. Okay. Unless you want to take notes. So I got to read something to you guys all before I get started. This is the kickoff of this event, right, or this call, which is an event, technically. And I want to read something to you. I got this message this morning, a text message this morning from Michael Rutherford. Now, bear with me. If you weren't on the pulse, I would encourage you to all go back and read it on the pulse. And I want you to think about this, not from your perspective. I want you to think about it from your newest person that's joining right now. Oh, isn't that pretty? Awesome. Can you wait for me downstairs? I'll be right down there. Okay. You can stay up here. Okay. Papa's going to do this call. All right. Okay. You can stay up here. Yep. So it was always fun when Facebook reminds you of what events you posted in the past. Who likes my Facebook, the Facebook reminders? I love them. Here's one that popped up today from the first progress, better testimonial using ketones seven years ago. That is the first in human history, by the way, the first ever progress report ever in history of ketones is this one right here. What you can't tell in that whole picture is that me, Dustin Shaffer, had a job during this photo and his, I was driving a Hyundai parked in the driveway of Michael Rutherford's apartment. He parked in, I parked in Michael's spot. It's weird reading it in first person from his perspective. I was parked in Michael's spot. Michael didn't have a car. The apartment size of his current is the same size. The entire apartment was the same size of his current master bedroom. Our first proof-it check hasn't even paid yet. There was no testimonials of any kind on ketones yet. Not one. Zero testimonials. This is the first one ever. There was no financial stories or business stories helping people pay off debt, helping people build wealth, helping people travel the world. A couple of people in the waiting room, Kate, if you want to share that, you can have those. It was brand new. Everything was brand new. Two weeks after this photo was shot, we turned on the websites officially on September 1st. The start of the launch. Ketones were available in one flavor in one country. The orders took over 30 to 45 days to arrive and most often you were charged your smart ship before your first order arrived, just to put it in perspective. So you were charged twice and your first order hadn't arrived but your smart ship was already charged. It's quite fun. We were over 16, he said 13,000. It was 16,000 orders back ordered at this exact same time. I could go on and on about this and how canceling or how challenging it was to launch and build a business at that time. I'll just focus on the facts that people with no more talent or experience than you reading this right now or listening to this right now were able to build this business. From that time frame to the day, many, many families, entire family trees are different and better. Bonnie, think about your family tree right now and how different they are today. One second, Charlotte. I lost my spot. Millions of lives have been impacted and we're now the largest keto company in the world. The gold standard brand and we all did that and you all are a part of that. I'm just saying the best part is nobody has heard of this still. Seriously, nobody. I live in a town over 100,000 people and there's maybe 30 people that drink ketones where I'm at. Oh, thank you so much. That was awesome. Thank you. If you look at the top 10 network marketing companies in the world or the top 25, we are one of the top 25, none of them are seven to eight years old but us. They're 20 to 40 years old. They have a lot of growth and opportunity in front of us.   He said that to me. I just cheered up like that because sometimes we forget where we started and sometimes where we're starting, we look up and say, I'm not Kate. I'm not Lynn. I'm not Brad Knowles. I'm not Merlin. I'm not Christine Telford. I don't have what Merlin has or Marlin has. I don't have what Liam can do or what Ethan's accomplished. I don't have his time freedom to drive my van around the country. We look at these things as milestones and obstacles and I read this today and Kate hits me and I was like, this is perfect. I want to just share one thing. I might have a couple of people share. I will tell you right now that financially changing my life was awesome. It really was. It was the reason I joined Prove It. I joined Prove It 100% for the money. I did not join. I didn't know I needed the community. I didn't know what the leadership looked like. I didn't. I needed a focus. I needed some mentorship and some guidance. I was hoping that broke guy in that picture. I was hoping he was the one that was going to help guide me a little bit. I believed in him because I believed in his spirit. Truly I did. I believed in his spirit. I had other people to follow that were more successful than he was and I believed in his spirit. I got to meet Brian. I believed in his vision. They then led me to where I am today, but I will tell you the biggest gift that Prove It has ever given me. I will show you why we are doing this call. I am a better father for her. I am a better father for my loved one. I am a better husband for my wife. I know how to get even better at those things. That is what the gift Prove It has given me. I want to share with you all why we did this Zoom. Kate hit me this morning. She is like, I just don't know if people understand the power of what our events are and what they do.  I wanted to share that with you all because if you want to go faster, if you want more income, if you want to be a better husband, a better wife, if you want to be a better you, if you want to be more fit, Jeff, I am watching Jeff drop 100 pounds completely transformed in his life. He hasn't even gotten to the great stuff of what we do yet. What we are really all about because he is still so new in this. He hasn't tasted what it is like to be in presence of people that are moving and living a different vibration, if you want to call it, of a life. What this call is really for is for people to really feel and understand that we are not a ketone company. This company is about her. What I want to do is kick it over. I want you to share something, Kate. Number one is how important have events been for you? More importantly, how important have they been for your relationship with your family? Absolutely. You got to take care of your situation there, poor baby. Hey, everyone. Let's talk about events. Dustin said I hit him this morning and I'm like, I know that there are some people on our team that they understand events. They've been to events, but put a one in the chat. If you have come in to prove it after 2020, if you're what we call a Kobe prover, put a one in the chat. Awesome. I want to go back to what Dustin was talking about with Michael's post. Did you all read that? I can see some of your faces. Did you all read what Michael posted? Let me ask you, do you think that Michael and Dustin put an energy towards their business casually or with intensity? Put in the comments. Was it a casual energy or was it an intensity of energy? There was an intensity, right? There was an intensity. So we used to do these calls. As soon as we knew there was an event, we were like, get the team on. Let's load it up. Let's talk about this event. Let's talk about the power of events because it truly, truly will change not only you, but it changes the trajectory of your business. But I want you guys to think about that moment when Michael and Dustin were in that room and they're taking those pictures and they don't have anything, right? Like they don't have the money, they don't have the time and freedom, but they had a vision. They had a vision, not that they created on their own, but they had a vision that was shared with them from Brian Underwood. Brian Underwood projected a vision and they were working with intensity because of that vision. That's what events do. When we're talking about momentum, when we're talking about moving forward, when we're talking about residual income, that comes from believing in that vision, believing in that person who's sharing that vision with us. So just to kind of give you guys an idea of how events have changed our family. Still adding people into the room. I joined Provit December 15th of 2016. I joined because our home was in foreclosure. We literally received those papers on December 12th. On December 15th, I joined Provit because I was like, I needed an extra option. I needed another option. I never thought I was going to replace my full time income. I never imagined I would be working from Cancun and being able to do this business from Paris. That wasn't my vision, right? All I knew was I needed to save my home and this was an option, okay? So then it saved the house. Everything was great. I'm going to pause you for a second. How did you get to your very first event? Did you fly first class? Did you fly? Did you pick a bar? No, Lord, no. So first event was in Orlando, Florida that I went to and I live in Kentucky. And I really wanted my husband to go with me. He had only just started drinking this. He still kind of thought it was one of those things.  He wanted nothing to do with that. Ethan's on here and I know Ethan knows this whole story really well because he helped me get Jason there. So I had a plane ticket to go to this event. I actually had a small community here in Owensboro, Kentucky. We were flying there. Jason decided last minute because he saw the line up, that's when we had Keto Academy and more together. It was like a five day event, y'all. It was full on immersion. And he goes, you know what? I might go to that science thing. That sounds interesting, but I'm not going to your singing kumbaya stuff. I'm like, okay, cool. Totally fine. I wanted him to go so bad. I gave up my plane ticket. Didn't get a refund on it. I just didn't show up. And I drove with him to Orlando, Florida, which is about a 13, 14 hour drive from where I live. We drove there. He goes to the science event. And it's the last day, last night of the last day of Keto Academy. And he goes, well, I mean, if you had an extra ticket, I would probably go to that more event. And I'm like, Ethan, we need an extra ticket. Like, how do we get a ticket? We need a ticket. So we get a ticket. He goes, which first of all, he has a full on freak out when he finds out he couldn't sit by me at that event. But he stuck with it. And I'm going to tell you 1000%. If he had not been at that event with me, he wouldn't have gone to King Koon with me last week. He wouldn't have been strategizing on how we replicate our systems. That's what he was telling me about today. We need to replicate the systems. We need to take what you're doing and figure out how to share that with the team and make it simple for them. I wouldn't be having those conversations with him had he not gone to that event in Orlando. I would not still be here. I would not have this fire and this passion and this intensity. If I did not go to events, feel the vision, feel the certainty, buy into it, believe in it, and be able to take that out into the world to create a huge community of over 30,000 people, which that is what my community is. It's over 30,000 people. That came because of the fire of an event, not just one event and the next event. And so that's why I was like, Dustin, you have to share. Don't know. Hey, really quick, give me a huge favor. So how fast after did you save your house? And how long did it take? And then what's happened since? Just give us the highlights of how you're in King Koon with us. Obviously, you're now becoming one of the top recruiters in ProVit. You're becoming one of the 15 leaders in ProVit. So that event was the start of it all, and it was the catalyst. But now, obviously, you didn't just go to that one event. But yeah, it was definitely it was it was the catalyst that that transformed the business before I was just like all I just had the vision of save the house. Well, I saved the house in 30 days. I needed $2,000 to pull our house out of foreclosure. I was able to do that within 30 days. 15 days after that, I hit right six circle of champions. I didn't even know what that was. I didn't even know what that was. Even the second month I hit it, I'm like, I think they're telling me I can go pick out a car. My husband legit no joke. He says, this is a scam. This is a scam.  They're not giving you a free vehicle. So I didn't even get our Jeep until several months later, because Jason didn't think it was a real thing. And so yeah, as I kept going, like we hit ranked seven very quickly after that rank eight the next year. And it's not because I went to one just one event. That event was the catalyst that kind of like the powder keg, so to speak. And then it just kept going from there on to the net, onto the net. Awesome. And I know you don't miss events and I'm super appreciative of you setting up this call and obviously pushing me, which is huge and seeing Jason and spending some time with him. Jason's an introvert, not shy, just an introvert. I mean, he doesn't like a lot of people. And we're at a dinner, the farewell dinner and just looked over because you know, my biggest takeaway is is I can't believe how much I miss this being walked away. He's like, I just, I miss being part of this community. And it took him time to warm up and this isn't about how to get your spouse to an event. You should bring your spouse to the event. I can tell you it's a game changer when your spouse is more on board. Lisa, if you can speak, I'm going to ask you to speak if you can't. That's cool. But I want to kick it over to Lynn and have her share. The first time I met Lynn was at an LCD. I believe it was an LCD. Shake your head, Lynn, if I remember correctly. It was an LCD. But the first time I really was impacted, Lynn stood up at an LCD in Louisville, Kentucky. And it was just remarkable. You felt the strength and this power in this woman, but you also knew there was a gap missing. There is this, maybe an identity gap or something missing in her. And over the last four years, five years, watching her really step into her greatness and share, spending time with her last week in Cancun was amazing. But Lynn, how important has it been just to be part of this event and grow?  Lynn is at least over the age of 35. And how important has this been just for your overall growth? Not only your success in the business, but really just how you've grown and stepped into your greatness. Thanks, Dustin. I am over 35, just barely. We did meet at an event, but it was a mastermind. That was the first time we really, really met. But I understand what you're saying as far as just, we peel back the layers of onion as we get to know people and feel more comfortable. And for me, going to events has been super important because you're right. I didn't realize the huge, gigantic voids I had in my life, not just one, but I had multiple voids in my life for many different reasons. And through going to events, I've been able to allow myself to see that I'm not the only person improve it that has things that we're trying to work on so we can become better. And when I saw it in other people, I recognized it more and more in myself, if that makes sense. I don't know if anybody else can relate to that. Maybe we get into situations where we're not looking at ourselves as honestly as we can. And so the learning and the growth that I've gone through by just going to events has been priceless. Prove has been a vehicle for me for many different things in my life, filling the voids, having purpose, instead of just existing in life, I now have multiple purposes. I know that I can help people within our community by being honest, transparent and sharing with them my experiences, but I can also learn their experiences and help myself grow and share that with other people. So being at events to me is just an opportunity to, I guess, open myself up more and more for the opportunity to heal and fill voids and become that better version that we always talk about. Still, I have a long way to go, but you said something, Dustin, I have to hit on this if you don't mind. You said when you came in to prove it, you latched on to Michael and where he was going to go and then Brian's vision. And I want to say the exact same thing for me, but if I hadn't met you and felt your true caring and leadership and that you were going to go somewhere and that all I had to do was say yes, I don't know that I would still be here in that sense if I hadn't gone all in and said yes. So I want to thank you for that, but I also want you to realize that in that, you know, what you just said about Brian and Michael, throw yourself in there too, because it's very important for so many people to know that we have great leadership. Hey, I'll talk about me all the time if you don't mind. I'm going to talk about you. I'll talk about me. It's funny because people always go, why are you so excited all the time? I go, if you're going where I'm going, you'd be excited too. But the reality is that sometimes people go and I have one more person I'm going to have share a story because it's near and dear to me in so many ways. But the reality is that people go, like when we first started to prove it, people are like, well, how do you, like, like what if it doesn't work? What if it is a scam? What if it's that, you know, people are like, is it, you know, one of those networks, just be careful. Like my friends were very supportive at the same time. They're like, be careful. One of my buddies, he goes, you know, if you're early on those things, you can make millions and millions and millions of dollars. It was not even the first week, by the way, he goes, I wish I would have gotten an early. It wasn't even the first week we were in our VIP. I'm like, dude, it's we just started yesterday. Like you can still get in. He never joined. True story. Never joined. Got on with Michael. He's never joined. He's a good friend of mine. But he was right though. You're a lot of opportunity to be had. But when people ask me that, they're like, why are you so certain? I go, I'm certain that I can do it.  The number one thing about our events, more than anything else is your own belief in yourself. If anybody else can have success in you, you can too. Now I tell you what, I've been through winters. I've had ups and downs all the way around. And I've had doubts. I've questioned myself sometimes because I was challenged to grow further. Now those questions are so much less. And so our events, this next event, I'm going to talk about briefly and then we're going to, we're going to wrap up this call, but I saw somebody pop on here and I want her to share. Now she could probably talk for days about her own, her own story. But when I met them, it's funny because in this industry, you meet people that are new and then you get to really know them once they've been for a while. And now that I get to know them, they tell me their backstory about their past. I don't believe them. Like their backstory is so foreign to me because I don't see anything of their past. I see them now and moving into their future. And it's one of the most extraordinary things because they have inspired me to become a better father. And they're provers that were going to events. They went to events after, they joined after we did. And I look at them as parents. I look at them, the relationship. And I'm pretty sure it's not perfect, but wow, have they improved on it? Has it gotten better? And are they living their lives? And I, and I see that and it just gets me so excited. So Lisa, if you're able to speak, I don't know if you're driving or not, but I would love for you to share if you don't mind that even first event that Jeff went to, that we basically, it was the most random thing for him to get there. Y'all, if there's an obstacle in your way, I promise you the world can move mountains for you to achieve things. I'm just telling you there's no reason he really should have made it to the event. He made it to the event, he came home and changed everything. And it was just a catalyst of what they were already working on in their family's life to get better. So I don't know if you could just share a little bit of that in some ways. I'd be super awesome if you could. I may have to share it for her. I know she was driving. So I don't know if she has- I'm in and out of service. I need to be able to tell her what. Jeff's actually right here too. He's talking about the event. Oh, let me see if I can take it off my earpiece. And so we both can talk. And we're right there. All right. Jeff, I was just talking about how amazing you are and how much you've inspired me. And you're in the car with her. It's a way to get to the usual event and way to get to Kentucky. And so he did, he had to go through- we bought him a ticket at the last minute because Dustin, for some reason, told him if he'd buy, he's telling Jackie that he would buy his ticket. We're losing you, Elise. Ah, we're losing you. We're losing you. We're losing you, Elise. Oh, sorry, Elise, we lost you. We can't hear you. We can't hear you. Y'all, it was like he missed flights, got there. There was another event that he was supposed to be at, but he couldn't get at. He came home and he applied what he had learned at that event. And I don't know what was inside of him. There was a desire for him to improve his life and move his family's life in a better direction. And it's just been awesome watching what's happened over the last seven years or six years, I guess, since that event. I wish you could hear it. I maybe I'll get him to shoot a video and maybe we can pulse it out. But it's just another example of watching what they're doing. I mean, just to be part and seeing their family grow and seeing their kids have success because of them applying what they've learned to improve it. It's just it's a testament to me to know more than more and more that I'm in the right place. And we're at we have the right team and the right people to support us in this. And so what I want to do is just take a second. A lot of times people don't know what Hacking Better is. They don't even understand it. And maybe that's something that we could do a better job of. And there's if you have a story in there, Cameron, Samantha, anybody in there, what is the one thing about the events? If you're if you haven't been to a big event, or maybe you've been to them all, why should why do you believe you should come to this event? Especially if you went to Cancun, I'm going to tell you is that Hacking Better is going to be an event that is it's a merged event. What it means is that we're going to be able to take everything that we do at all of our other events. And we're going to condense it down into a it's a shorter timeframe. It's not a three or four or five day event. It's going to be a three day event. It's going to be very specific, very, very direct. It's actually really two full days. And so what's neat about this event is that you're going to get not only the vision of where Brian's going from all the learning lessons that he's had, you're going to get the skill sets of all the leaders improve it.  Listen, our business is simple.  It's easier than I make it. It's easier than I make it. The only thing that gets in my way is me. Is this thing up here between my ears? It gets in my way. It tells me off and on. I'm busy. I got this other things going on. It's Marlon, you got it. It's right here. It's the only thing that's different. And so Hacking Better, we're going to get, there's a couple of little adjustments, but Edmai Let's going to be there. Edmai Let is one of the most successful people in the entire industry of all of network marketing. He was Michael Rutherford's first mentor. Just to put it in perspective, if you told Michael right now that the event was $100,000 to see Edmai Let live, Michael Rutherford would find a way to pay that money. And so you're like, wait, because he has $100,000. Even if he didn't, he would find a way to make that happen. That's how much he sees Edmai Let. When my wife saw Edmai Let, my wife, unfortunately, can't go. It's too close to our birth of our child and they won't let her fly. So she's like, I can't go. She heard him speak and she's like, I'll do anything to be there. So what we're going to work on is after the baby's born, I'm going to see if I can get a personal one on one with Edmai Let. I don't know if it's going to work out or not, because I want April to meet him because what his power is, and then you get the whole perfect community. So you're going to get proximity. You're going to get late night huddles. You don't have to stay up all night, but you're going to get late night huddles. That's when you get to see what Lynn saw. You're going to get to see people that have been right where you're at and want to go where you're going. You're going to see relatability of people that have been through your story. There's no story on here so far that we haven't seen already. I talked to Liam down in Mexico right now. His story and my story are almost identical. The truth is, I'm just a chapter ahead of him. That's all. That's it. So we get to learn from each other to grow through this thing. And then you're going to get Brian. You're going to get Blake. And I'm telling you right now, we have some things that are coming and this is not a new flavor. We may have some new flavors. I got more flavors in my back room right here, you guys, than I know what to do with. They keep sending me more stuff. I'm not sure when we're dropping that stuff, but I'm telling you flavors are great. But there's something that's shifting that's happening right now. I had a private meeting with Blake and Nick and there's only four of us in Craig.  So if you're brand new, you're not even going to realize how important it is. If you've been in for a while, your draw is literally going to drop out of your face. It's going to be unbelievable shifting, changing. Now we hear these things all the time, but what I'm saying is that could you imagine if every single promoter that comes in? Oh, she is. You didn't leave. I'm going to come down and say hi in just a second. Okay? Okay, perfect. Could you imagine right now, I want you to think about this. Could you imagine every single person, if it was 30% easier to hit multiplier, how much more motivated would you be? How about this? Every new promoter that comes in, it was 45% easier to hit MVP. How much faster could you go? I'm making up these percentage numbers, but I'm going to tell you it's going to be, the process is going to be simpler. It's going to be streamlined. My advice to you all right now is you start planning as many seeds as you can. Right now you want as many people drinking ketones and as many people, Brad, did your guests get on? I hope so.  We're here to try to inspire you for better, however that might be for you. And if you have any questions, you can always jump on a call. Maybe we can talk. And so the idea is that now is the right time to start, not waiting. We're starting now. Get as much momentum because you want 25 promoters or 10 promoters or two promoters building out of hacking better. And that's when you'll get the greatest success. And I promise you, if you have teammates that are going, if you, sorry, if you don't have teammates that are going and you have teammates, they won't go to the event if you don't go to the event. Two times, I'm going to tell you, I missed two events improvement. I've had two babies on proven events. True story. So two babies on proven events. Nobody in our entire business, I had my plane ticket book and my hotel book, both refundable because I was going. They didn't know I wasn't going. I had my plane, but I had everything booked. I was going. And then, of course, we couldn't make it. But the reality is I didn't want to take it away from them, the gift away from them. So hacking better is going to be an extraordinary event. If you haven't been anything, Brian has some things up his sleeve that are pretty extraordinary. We keep things, some things tight to the chest, but at my let Brian underwood, all the proven trainers will be there. Blake Malin will be there giving you the skills to not only grow you to become the best version of yourself. You're going to get to do some really cool team meetings. If you're going to do backstage pass with us, there's a bunch of us doing backstage pass if they have access to that. And I just want to end it with this. I just want to end it with this. If there's a will, there's a way. Jeff Skinner, there's every reason. And y'all, just so you know, they have an international business. They've changed, I mean, hundreds of thousands of lives. I don't know how many people, 100,000 plus lives since they started. They didn't know their left foot from their right when they got started in this whole thing. They truly didn't. Kate Hignan didn't know her right from her left. Lynn Knowles didn't even know that she was in a community-based marketing business. She had no clue. She's just like, I just want to be better. Like, I didn't know this was this industry, had no idea. I just wanted to feed my family. I just wanted to live a better life. And every one of us will tell you that coming out of these events is what gave us the momentum and the confidence to change our life forever, to become the best version of ourselves so we can inspire more people to do that ourselves. And I would just say this, if there's a will, there's a way. If you want to go, let's make it happen. We have people that came to Cancun, their house burned down. They still stayed. We have people that everybody in their family was sick. They still came and they made it work. And they'll tell you that they're better because of it. If it's money, let's figure it out. If it's, I don't have a ticket, let's figure it out. I can poop tickets. I'll find it. Anybody knows if Cameron Moss will say it, she's like, Cameron Moss is a genius when it comes to getting people to events. She's really good at it. She's like, I don't know. We'll just get to show up. We'll make up a ticket. Well, and there's limited seating, by the way, they can't expand it like we normally can. And so if it's, we got to drive there. Angel is driving from Canada. Like they let her out of jail up there or a zoo. I don't know what you guys call yourselves up there, but they let her out. She's driving with the whole team from Canada to come on down. And so if there's a reason to be here, we have people coming from all over the world. Singapore is coming in. The Europe's coming in. Hopefully Saudi Arabia is coming in. Dubai is coming in. Australia is coming in. We got Mexico coming in. We got, of course, Canada all over the world. People come into this event because they want to be a part of something to move themselves in a better way.  I was just going to say, if you want to go, you're listening to this and you're like, I don't know. Like it's really close.  Can you help me solve for X? Because if any of us, like I know Samantha and Cam and that's it, Ethan, like, we've been doing this a long time. If there's anything that we've gotten good at, it's solving for X. So definitely let people know if you want to go because where there are the will, there's a way and what you think is your reason to go is probably your reason why you should go. Michael said that to me very early on and that stuck to me. I thought, well, I can't go because my daughter has this. No, I need to go because I want to be there for everything for my daughter. I'm doing this for my daughter. So that's the only thing I wanted to have. I love that. Really quick, before you talk, Sam, we had a lady in Mexico. She couldn't go and Michael's like, no, I've done a lot to help you out. Like, how are you going to make it? She went in Uber. She started Uber Eats and delivering food. She started selling like obesity foods, like sugary treats. Like she started selling or dehydrated fruit or something. She started selling stuff to make money. We had another lady. She's a teacher. She didn't have enough money to go. She started doing the same thing. She got resourceful.  I promise you and we'll help you. People go, I don't have a dog sitter.   We'll make Ethan go watch your dog. He'll watch it in the van at the hotel lobby. I'm just kidding. Ethan, are you not, he's not on live. I thought he was, but he's a picture.  Oh, it was Cam. I was just going to say, well, exactly what Kate said. I think, you know, sometimes people do count themselves out for different reasons. So I think that's super important. There was an event for the first like three or four years. I literally could not afford to go to an event like financially. I couldn't afford it. I would always have to figure it out. I would have to borrow. I would have to, you know, just whatever. I didn't even have a credit card. I'd have to put it on a credit card and pay the person back. But Brian Underwood said to me one time, I said, Hey, I don't know what to do. I can't afford to go to this event. And I know I need to be there. And he said, Well, let me ask you this. Can you afford not to go to the event? And every time I got in a situation where I would think like, Oh, I can't, I would say, well, I can't afford not to be there. So, so yeah, with that said, what everyone else said, we can always solve for X. If you can physically be present there, we can figure the rest out. So awesome stuff. Thanks, Dustin. Someday, someday I'll get Cameron to, you know, maybe a little emotional, but I she came to an LCD one time and it was one of the most there's a look very, very traumatic experience in her life. And I was like, Why are you here? She goes, I need, I need positivity. I need energy. I need the greatness in this world. And right now this is the best place for me to be. And I thought that was pretty special because most people wouldn't have chose that. And, and, and I truly believe she really understands that, you know, when you're around positive energizing people that want better for you and the world and the people around you, it just makes life better. And so Cameron, I appreciate you because I'll never forget that event. And it was cold in that room. It was so cold. I'm so happy. I had a suit on everybody. It was, I mean, it was the coldest event we'd ever have. So with that said, if you do come to Hacking Better, be prepared to be a little chilly. I just want to say thank you guys all on, we are going to be launching something, Michael's working on a project right now to kind of end the month with a, you were there. I dial you were there. I remember you sitting on the floor. I won't forget that. That was one of the, it moved me. It showed me a lot of things about you and just a lot of things about how people will, you know, we'll find the right way when, when the will is there. And, and so if you have any questions about Hacking Better, hit me if you have questions, but let's, let's, let's make a move and let's fill the rest of those seats. And most importantly, so you're a better life that you have a better life. We can talk about the numbers. You'll make more money. Yes. It's like 300% more likely to make income if you come to the event. It's the percentages are extraordinary. And that's kind of obvious because you're getting the right materials. But Michael is putting on a little thing. The team is our whole Michael rather for team is going to be doing some like team wide KLP. So like you could invite, you know, Carrie, you can invite your people over and we're going to do a team wide KLP, meaning that it might be Kate and Michael talking and you just have to invite people to do a tasting and then they, they kind of close it up. And so we'll be working on that. So I'm just going to encourage you all to plug into that. It's a great opportunity to utilize the confidence of leadership that have been there before you to let them basically sell our calm, our product. You just have to be there. You just have to be their friend and share it to them and let everybody else do the work. So stay tuned to that. Well, I think tomorrow at the lie, our tomorrow will be launching it on the training tomorrow at nine Pacific standard time noon on the morning, Holocaust. So if you can get on that, get on that. Appreciate you all so much. And in the chat really quick before we go, who's, who's committed to hacking better, who's coming and give us a one if you're coming and give us a two if you're on the fence. So two if you're on the fence and just so everybody could look and if you have an extra ticket, I want you to think about this. If you have an extra ticket, I want you to think about this. I have extra tickets, by the way. And I always have extra tickets, but this is why I have extra tickets. I'm thinking about my three new promoters that are coming in that haven't joined yet. So if you have extra tickets, we can Angie, we can talk to talk to Angie about this all the time. I'm like, be careful to try to get rid of them. You have your number one promoter is coming on tomorrow. Your number one promoter is coming on in two days. Your number one promoter is coming on in three days. Skip Kelly came into my business three weeks after we started. He didn't talk to me for 30 days after that. And then he talked to Francisco Calero took another 30 days. I didn't for 60 days. If I would have bought an extra ticket, Francisco went to came to the event. I hope that makes sense. Francisco would have came to the event because I didn't have a ticket for him, but I had a ticket ready for him. Does that make sense? I'm investing in the future of my business. So that's a big shift. That's a confidence thing. So always have that in your back pocket. And our team does a good job of always have an extra ticket and Cameron, yes, we'll have to find 30 more for you. Kate, we'll have to find 30 more for you. Samantha, we're going to have to find 17 more for you because they're going to figure out a way to get a bunch. Glenn's like, I need 10. So let's have some fun with this all. I appreciate you. Have an unbelievable Sunday. And I think it's time for me to get to this party. Cheers, y'all. And everybody, everybody, everybody welcome Pam. Pam, we love you. We love you, Pam. And we're done, but we did record it so you can get to watch the replay.


What? I'm not allowed to put together my own memes? Hello, I'm Dr. Sumerian, and welcome to another episode of Dank Memes from Site-19, where I react to various memes from Dank Memes from Site-19. This week, I have quite a few of these are Andre Duxen related, so we should probably just get started. Andre Duxen after the entire community raises. Actually, it was in two days. They raised 50,000 in two days, not three days. And yeah, if I had an outstanding legal case against the SCB Foundation, I would be a little bit worried that they're so quickly we're able to fund their legal case. Take me and it Mineralds. Andre Duxen. Illegitimate trade. These are like political cartoons, but like as blunt as possible. You know, political cartoons will sometimes like label things that they think people aren't gonna get it. But it's like that because it has to be because it's a completely unrelated image. Oh man, the lawsuit. Oh wait, no. Start from the bottom. Russian SCP branch. Andre Duxen. The rest of the SCP community. Andre Duxen again. The lawsuit. Oh man, that is going to be an interesting thing to follow. I'm very curious how that's going to work out in legal cases. Facts. Cabin in the Woods. Oh, a non-duskin related meme. Facts by Dr. Kent Webb. Cabin in the Woods is the closest we'll ever get to an SCP movie. This is accurate. I have not personally ever watched the Cabin in the Woods, but I know the entire plot of it and I can tell you from a certain level of certainty that it is very, very similar to an SCP article. And the organization behind the scenes is very similar to the SCP Foundation. So yes, it is probably the closest we'll ever get to an SCP movie. Like a commercial one anyway. I am inevitable. Honestly though, I think Thanos was so much better of a villain than Duxen. Let's just say it. Let's be fair here. You can't hear their voices. Are you saying your actions represent the collective will of the people? Andre Duxen. I can hear them.  Oh man. I wonder what this is from. I mean, honestly, that looks like Zex Marquis from Gundam Wing, but I'm sure that's not it. I mean, this is just a common character trait to have that kind of a mask on. A minor cough. The pestilence. Corporate needs you to find the differences between this picture and this picture. They're the same picture. Dumbass, plague, doctor. Dr. Sumerian seeing a meme about him. The person who made the meme when it gets into Sims. You guys are the best. The absolute best. That does make me happy when I see these. And I figure it probably makes people happy to see their things are being seen. Probably. The community. A 12-year-old fanboy. A readable SCP. Hey, doesn't exist. You know, that's not necessarily true. I know there are people on the wiki right now who wrote their first articles below the age of 15. It was against the rules.  So it's entirely possible, if not from evidence incredibly likely. 42.1k worth of community at 50,000 now. Andre Duxen thinking he's taken out the wiki for good. Yeah, this is the thing about this is like, he just looks at it and is like, I've won. I've won. And without even considering the fact that, like, there are still consequences to his activities and actions. God, I can't imagine this art SCP book is doing very well anymore. You are wrong. Change my mind. Oh, man, I love these. I would have thought that they would have put the SCP logo on those coffee mugs, but other than that, pretty good. Pretty good. I don't know. A lot of, someone was saying recently like, you imagine how many subscribers Dr. Smearing would have if he didn't have such pretentious titles. And I'm like, probably less since the you are wrong about series kind of is the first. It's funny. The you're wrong about series is the series that made my channel. Period. It was your wrong about the class was the first article or the first video I created that really took off. And then while it was taking off, I think it was well, it was taking off. I did the you're wrong about 173 because I was, you know, if you see one thing doing well, you repeat it. And then I repeated it for forever. And that's just what I do now. I do your wrong videos. If I say you are wrong about X and then I don't explain the thing that I say you're wrong about, that's clickbait. But if I actually take time in the article in the video to talk about why you're wrong or why you might be wrong at the very least, then I don't know. Let's remember hearing them thinking that was a little bit funny. Introduction exists SCP foundations. How many times we have to teach you this lesson, old man? You know, it's funny because this is not the not the first time we had this problem. When he said last time around, he was going to stop and dissolve his trademark. I understand. I did it wrong. And the whole time he was like, nah, I won't keep it. And he was taking more than two candies from SCP 330. Look ma, no hands. Oh man, I saw this one and it made me laugh out loud when I saw it the first time around. Although I guess it would have been better if the kid actually had no hands. I'm not just reacting to your memes. I'm also critiquing them. See, I don't, yeah, this is supposed to be Andre Dixon killing off, you know, or I guess going after the younglings, going after the SCP foundation, Russian foundations in front. I, you know, I think this one, I disagree with this one, because he is significantly less powerful. Let's look. Sorry, it's not going to happen, man. Just not going to happen. Clinton's a responsible for the murder of Epstein. Mortier Carter and Dark. Is this a reference to something specific? This must be a reference to a specific SCP article, right? Or maybe? Is it just saying that Marshall Carter and Dark are the shadowy underbelly of the entire world? Who knows? Someone will certainly tell me in the comments if this is about an SCP or not. Poor tale. Andre, treasure maintained control by acting cool. Foundation, peace was never an option. Ah, Untitled, was it, the Untitled Goose Game? It's so, so many memes have come out of that that I quite enjoy. I really should probably get that game and play it just for fun, because it's about, it's about a goose. I like, it's about a city goose. Oh my god. Series 1, Bingo. There's a lot to go over here. Demotion to D-Class. SCP 682 is referenced for some reason, which yeah, why does that always happen? Experiment log takes you to a separate page instead of being collapsible. Blood. So much blood and gore too. A tale is linked that has nothing to do with the SCP. Vulgan read it. The SCP is just a thing that kills you. There's a whacky and hilarious note from an authority figure telling other personnel not to abuse the SCP. Dr. Samirian told you you're wrong about it. A doctor passes out or flips a table over dramatically in the interview log. That one I'm not, I never thought about that one. I don't think I've seen that person, or if I have seen it, I haven't seen a lot. I never thought of that one as like a trope, but anyway, the SCP is indestructible for no reason. Yeah, that's very, very common. I think that a lot of that is the, the SCPs are indestructible in the early series because it's just easier. Like people want to get it, get that part out of the way is like, oh, you can't destroy it. Okay, why? It's like, well, because otherwise the SCP foundation would just destroy it, right? And I'm like, no, they keep things in containment. Oh yeah, but not the old foundation. The old foundation destroyed as much as it did keep in containment. It's only more in the middle of the timeline that they actually finally started doing their jobs as they're doing their jobs. Doing their jobs? That's crazy.  They bullied the SCP. Free spot in the middle, of course. The SCP is a thing that makes you crazy. Yes, I love those. It's just take, you know, get rid of any character development or anything like that. It's just crazy. Keeter duty. I think that makes any sense at all. You're on Keeter duty. Okay, there's a lot of really easy to do. I mean, there's a lot of Keeters that are not really all that dangerous and wouldn't really all be that much of a problem to guard. So cool, I guess. It's just, there's plenty of safe and euclid SCPs. I'd be more worried about being on a containment for the SCP is an anomalous disease with five or more stages. Ah, yes. And that actually shows up in modern stuff. Everybody wants to have things in stages, like stage one of the infection is this stage two of the infection is that that's like by the end of it, you're like, that's super sick.  Redacted. Perfect. Euclid. No, wait, Keeter, or the other way around, we're safe. No, wait, Euclid. No, wait, Keeter. No, we still get those.  SCP 076-2 is referenced for some reason. Data expunge. The community obsessed with it and can't stop making memes about it. That's that's a that's a serious problem. Yes, Foundation tries to destroy the SCP because stage we just talked about this stands for destroy destroy destroy. Yeah, series one was a serious problem had that as a serious problem. That's for sure. The SCP isn't in an unlimited supply for absolutely no reason. Doesn't affect that. That's it. Yep. Yep. Yep.  Death row inmates who are willing to follow orders are in supply, I promise. Yep. Yep. That's a big thing is like that's that's row inmates who are willing to follow orders have no serious mental issues that preclude them from serving the Foundation. Yeah, there's plenty of those. No problem. There's a pointless interview with the SCP that doesn't expand on their personality or story at all. Usually those are just set up to try and make them see more threatening.
