I read it You know, it's an amazing book, but now I want to get one-on-one coaching with you now Could I make some money? Yes, of course with that I could easily earn some money, but does this support my goal of selling 100 books per day? Well, not really to be honest So will I accept his offer?

The life of an entrepreneur can indeed be pretty much busy, all day long, all week long and all month long until they decide that it's time to go on a vacation. So sitting in front of a TV screen to get entertained might be one of the last things they decide to do daily. However, when it comes to self-development or learning new ways to make their businesses work and make more money, no option is completely ruled out. As a young entrepreneur, sometimes what you need is a visual guide to bring out the entrepreneur in you. Hence, if you have the time to devote to learning a thing or two via your TV set, then why not? In this video, I'll share with you 10 TV shows every entrepreneur must watch. This I believe will help you become a successful person. If you're new here, consider subscribing so that you won't miss other interesting videos like this. 1. Undercover Boss Undercover Boss Fitch is seasuit guys who disguise themselves to see how their business operates from the ground level. Imagine how interesting it is to see CEOs performing blue-collar jobs for their entry-level employees. Fun, right? You can say that. The show, which started in the UK before being adapted for US audiences in 2010, provides a glimpse of the daily operations of major brands and how executives react when confronted with employees on both ends of the spectrum. At the end of the show, some employees are either fired, promoted or given a motivational bonus depending on their performance or performances. However, remember, it is what these brands want you to see that they get to show you the audience. 2. Shock Tank This is one of the oldest yet most popular business TV shows aired. The ABC's show, which started since 2009, features a bunch of entrepreneurs seeking and pitching their businesses to wealthy shark investors. The shark's investors ask several financial questions to help them determine if the business idea has a good chance of flourishing in the market. Shock Tank is the perfect place to see how investors react to small businesses and also viewers get to see the successes and failures of each business. Both entrepreneurs and investors have a thing or two to always learn from the show. 3. Silicon Valley Silicon Valley is an entertaining look at the culture of tech startups based on real-life references to eccentric entrepreneurs as well as outsiders looking for insights on life in the startup world. Richard Hendricks, Thomas Middeldrich, leaves Holi, a Google-like company, to start his own business. Hendritch lived in a house of four, with each man doing his business in the garage. However, as the company gains steam, they encounter every possible issue from problems finding employees to expand to IP lawsuits, local problems and stiff competition. Most startups experience these challenges as well. Silicon Valley explores how Hendricks grew his business and how he handled challenges along the way. 4. Beyond the Tank Beyond the Tank is more like a continuation of Shark Tank. It shows what happens after the deal is done and the real works that come with being an entrepreneur. Here, the story behind most of the popular brands and businesses that were featured on Shark Tank is shown. The show focuses on both businesses that succeeded and those that failed. Beyond the Tank also shows some of the compromises entrepreneurs have to make as well as the lessons they learn when giving away a percentage of their businesses. 5. Startup A desperate banker needs to conceal stolen money on a Haitian-American gang lord wants to go legit and a Cuban-American hacker has an idea that he thinks will revolutionize the future of money. All three parties are forced to work together. What next? A startup is born and they plan to raise a potential multi-billion dollar business on digital currency. 6. Billion Dollar Buyer Billionaire Tilman Fatita goes to small businesses to meet the needs of his customers. For these entrepreneurs, one order is what they need to become successful. Fatita spends time with two entrepreneurs in each episode to get more insight into their business and product. He also has to check the compatibility of the products with the co-owners. 7. Planet of the Apps Planet of Apps created by Apple Inc. is filled with celebrity entrepreneurs that can mentor new app developers through creation, funding and scaling. Each app developer pitches their idea to four advisors hoping to be picked by one who will help them learn on the better guidance and support them with funding and industry knowledge. 8. How I Made My Millions Companies that have surpassed the $1 million hurdle don't necessarily have all the best ideas. However, turning your ordinary idea into extraordinary business is the trick and how I made my millions show behind the scenes of everyday people turning their ordinary ideas into something extra. The show reminds entrepreneurs who believe in their dreams that with a little bit of hard work and calculated risk, your dreams can come to reality. 9. The Profit CNBC's The Profit is one of the best shows for seeing exactly what it takes to run a successful business. Marcus Limonis searches for businesses in need of cash and tries to help them by offering them a huge sum of money and return for a percentage of the profits. The extremely business savvy man knows how best to ask questions to enable him to make the right decisions. Limonis focuses on the people, the product and the process. He never strays away from this process. Unlike Shock Tank, The Profit is one man investor show and Limonis appears to be on a personal quest to compete against the sharks. 10. The Rise to the Top This web-only series is for entrepreneurs who wish to learn from others who have gone ahead. David Seitman Gullard, the host, has interviewed over 250 successful entrepreneurs sharing their success stories. Each episode offers strategic lessons as the success secrets of each entrepreneur is discussed.

So what's the big deal with this butterfly pea? Ooh, that's pretty! But why does it do that? Well, butterfly pea is a natural pH level indicator because of its anthocyanins. And when combined with an acidic substance like lemon, the color will change to purple. And what a lot of people don't know, when it becomes heavily acidic, it will change to pink, too. The butterfly pea plant has been used for dyeing, cooking, and making cosmetics. Butterfly pea tea comes from the clitoria ternotia plant, so named because the flower shape resembles a clitoris. I'll just let that sink in. And while that's processing, let's talk all about the benefits of butterfly pea tea. Skin, eye, and hair health. Well, many people think the butterfly pea is best used topically for skin or hair. Research shows you can get benefits from drinking butterfly pea tea as well. In fact, some people find using butterfly pea flower topically actually causes them irritation on their skin, so using it as a tea will be the best method for many people. Now, the main reason that butterfly pea tea is great for the skin and hair is because it contains a massive array of antioxidants, including proanthocyanidin, which helps blood flow to the eyes. And this makes it effective for helping with retinal damage, glaucoma, and blurred vision. Brain health. Flavonoids in butterfly pea tea like quercetin help to strengthen your hair and skin cells, and as an added bonus, helps to hydrate your skin cells too. One study found that butterfly pea tea increased the memory of rats over the course of 30 days. You read excessively. A 2015 review also found that it boosted memory and learning. Fairly Scarecrow didn't drink his blue pea tea, as he didn't get the Pythagorean theorem quite right. Some of the square roots of any two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side. Give him a break, as he only just had gotten his brain like 10 seconds before. Pain relief and anti-inflammatory benefits. Blue pea tea research shows that it's equally effective at treating both internal and external inflammation, including things like bug bites and skin disorders. Now according to studies, it can also help protect against chronic diseases, thanks to its antioxidant levels and anesthetic properties. It's also a great anti-pyretic, which is just a fancy way of saying that butterfly pea tea has been shown to have similar effects to aspirin or paracetamol. And it's not only a good pain reliever, but it's been shown to be a great favor reducer too. One study showed that when 200 to 400 milligrams of butterfly pea were taken, it reduced body temperature up to five hours. Stress, anxiety, and depression benefits. It's adaptogenic. What is it? You'll see. Some woman is going to want me to do it to her, and I'm not going to know what it is. This basically means that blue pea tea can reduce or provide resistance to stress in your body.  Do they give the mice the tea to drink? I'm just curious. Blood sugar benefits. Diabetes deaths have increased from 1.6 million in 2016 to an amazing 6.7 million deaths in 2021. Yeah, it's skyrocketed. So any help to stop diabetes is sorely needed. Enter butterfly pea tea. One study on rats found that blue pea tea extract reduced serum glucose levels, though it also increased body weight, which I suppose could be a good thing. Better than that small possibility of gaining weight. Studies have shown that blue pea tea has anti-diabetic properties very similar to the drug glib and chlamide. Apparently part of how this works is that blue pea tea is likely able to inhibit excess glucose absorption from food, thereby helping to keep your blood sugar levels in check. And to tap this all off, one study showed that beverages containing butterfly pea flour increased antioxidant levels, reduced blood sugar and insulin levels. All this regardless of how much sugar was in the drink. Heart health. A 2019 study showed that butterfly pea tea beverages can help increase antioxidant activity, which is great for the heart as well as other bodily activities like dancing. Yeah, butterfly pea tea is good for dancing. What, you don't believe me? Studies have also found blue pea tea effective in lowering high cholesterol levels. One 2010 study in pharmaceutical biology showed that when taken with Vignamungo, it lowered serum cholesterol levels even more than when taken by itself. Weight loss benefits. You don't need to lose weight, you're beautiful just the way you are. But if you're looking to do it for health reasons, butterfly pea tea can help. Wa, wa, wa, what about that study that said that rats gain weight on butterfly pea? I mean, study. Yes, tricky isn't it? And this is where it really depends on how it affects you personally. Yes, some studies have shown that butterfly pea flour can slow the formation as well as block the synthesis of fat cells. One study showed that blue pea tea not only helps weight loss, but also can help fight against fatty liver disease too. And there are even some reports that show blue pea tea helps speed up your metabolism. So, there you go. Other benefits. One big benefit of blue pea tea is that it is caffeine free. Other reported blue pea tea benefits include protection from testicular damage, relief from coughs and asthma, fighting against cancer, and boosting your immunity. Side effects. A study on blue pea tea doses up to 3,000 milligrams per kilogram of body weight failed to notice any pertinent signs of toxicity. And most nutritionists say it is very safe when consumed within the normal guidelines of 3 cups per day. There have been occasional reports of people having nausea, stomach aches, and diarrhea. But there is no research to confirm these as common side effects. And that's it. If you're at all unsure, just check with your physician to make sure it won't affect any medication or plans that you're on. Otherwise, be kind, take care of each other, and enjoy the amazing benefits and colors of blue pea tea.


My name is Tesleima. We have amazing projects. We reach the community that would never, never normally be able to be reached. Our main aim is to change people who have severe mental health little by little to make a change. We have knitting, crochet, then we do screen printing, block printing, hand painting on to screens. The shishers. There's so many things I can't even put into words. This place is a magical place for women and children because we work with diversity and inter-generation. Our youngest is three. The oldest one is 85. If you came in here and you didn't observe the age, you just sat back, you would think that they were all teenagers. When you look at times gone by, women and children used to make things with their hands and it used to help their mental health. These things are really important, doing things by your hand because it helps you to retain in your memory. That's why this is a hand process and this is what this place is. When you're sitting and thinking, you are lost in this world that only you exist. Taslima has created beautiful space really for women to have their own space, feel great about themselves, learn enormous amounts. While people haven't been able to come in, we went straight on to Zoom and not only that, we started to make scrubs and scrub bag masks for the hospital. We were like machines and it was almost like you were at war trying to protect the NHS.  I knew it was Taslima and it was incredible. It was incredible to see and she said they have been fantastic. We could do it some more. I'm sure Taslima is still doing that. And we gave machines away. We knew that if we don't help our women and children, they're stuck in a home. They don't have a garden. They don't have what some people are fortunate and very lucky to have. The machines are big asset for all the women. We're more alike than what we realise. That's what makes CDM so successful. It's a family.


10 Things You Need To Stop Doing To Be Happier Dale Carnegie, an American writer and lecturer once said, It isn't what you have or who you are or where you are or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy, it is what you think about. Have you ever wondered why some people remain unhappy even if things of life are given to them on a platter of gold? This is from within and cannot be forced if you are doing certain things consciously or not to stop it. Abraham Lincoln, an American statement and lawyer, who served as the 16th President of the United States said, Folks are usually about as happy as they make their minds up to be. Our actions determine our happiness. Little Wonder, Daile Lama, the 14th, one of the monks of the Gilloch School, the newest school of Tibetan Buddhism, said and I quote, Happiness is not something ready made, it comes from your actions. A truly happy person feels nothing but pleasant emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy. While we all want to be truly contented and happy, certain actions can hinder us from being happy. In this video, I'll share with you 10 things you need to stop doing to be happier. This I believe will help you become a successful person. If you're new here, consider subscribing so that you won't miss other interesting videos like this. 1. Living in the Past Everyone's past is filled with both good and bad experiences, which are responsible for shaping our lives into what it is. Yours is not any different. So, whether you've had a terrible past or not, the worst decision you can make is to keep living in all the past moments, wishing and regretting, because no matter how much you dwell on the past, you cannot change any bit of it, and instead, focus on creating a new and pleasant beginning that will form the foundation of your success. The past is just a training field, it doesn't define you. So think about what went wrong, but only in terms of how you will make sure that next time you make things go right by tapping from your wealth of experiences and lessons learned. 2. Comparing Yourself With Everyone Else The truth is, there are no two people who are exactly alike. No matter how identical they may be, we are all unique and we have our differences. So, why try to be like someone else? You know, you'll never find happiness being that way. Ralph Waldo Emerson said and I quote, to be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment. Be yourself and enjoy every bit of what you have. Yes, you should strive to become a better person, but your only competition should be you. Be a better version of yourself, not trying to be like others. 3. Pleasing Everybody Lao Zhu, an Asian-Chinese philosopher and writer said, care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner. Everyone has their opinions, preferences and expectations. So, be in charge of what's best for you instead of trying to accept everyone's opinion. For instance, you have three friends. One wants to wear a red cloth to an event, another yellow and the last one purple.  That's so loving of you, right? Of course not. The best thing to do in such a situation is to wear what pleases you, not anyone else. You'll be surprised to find out that people never get satisfied. No matter how much you try pleasing them, they'll always want more. So, why bother in the first place? 4.  Again, you'll be surprised to find out that people who are dictating to you how best to live your life don't have everything figured out themselves. So, use the time to focus on yours. Find out what you like, what your interests are and what you're passionate about and then enjoy the rest of your life doing these things. 5.  We learn and grow when we make mistakes. However, blaming other people or circumstances for your mistakes instead of taking responsibility for your action will never make you happy. Taking responsibility when things go wrong instead of blaming others isn't masochistic. It's empowering because then you focus on doing things better or smarter next time and when you achieve a better result next time, you'll be happy. 6. Trying to Control Life As much as we expect things to go smoothly and as planned all the time, it sometimes never turns out that way. That's just life. So, what do you do when that happens? Control life? The only constant thing in life is change. Others are uncertain. Instead of trying so hard to figure out everything, you can learn to control your reactions to things, especially when life throws an unexpected bombshell at you. Be resilient enough to grow in any situation you find yourself. 7. Complaining and Wining Instead of complaining and whining about nearly everything, why not change your perspective to see the positivity in everything? The truth is, your words have power, especially over you. So whining and complaining over your problems will only make you feel bad, not better. When something goes wrong, don't spend time talking about it. And talk about how you can make things better. That way, you'll feel better and happy. 8.  Thomas Jefferson, an American state man, diplomat, lawyer and founding father who served as the third president of the United States said, Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation and freedom in all just pursuits. When you are healthy, you'll be capable of doing great things. You'll equally be capable of taking care of your family and loved ones, and this is one of the most fulfilling things on earth. When you ignore your health, on the other hand, you'll become a burden, not just to yourself but to everyone around you as well. The more you see yourself in that position, the more you'll be angry and sad. 9. Trying to Be Perfect There's no such thing as a perfect man, so if you think you'll gain people's approval when you become perfect, you are wrong. Remember what we said earlier about trying to please everyone? It never works. Likewise, trying to be perfect, it will only lead to frustrated efforts.  10. Not Spending Time With Your Loved Ones We get it. You want to be successful, so you're willing to do whatever it takes to accomplish that. Brilliant enough. However, do not let your ambitions get in the way of your family time or else, after achieving your goals, you'll spend the rest of your life wishing you had done things differently. Besides, happiness is only real when shared. But what happens when you have no one to share it with because you've replaced them with work? Happiness is something we create through our actions. Doing these or any of these 10 things can interfere with your happiness. Stop doing them today and see what happens next. Thank you very much for watching our videos.

Hey everybody, I'm Lance Coyke and today we're going to discuss how to choose the right duration for your program Specifically I want to talk about one specific duration today, and that is an eight-week program Why would I write an eight-week program and why would I not write an eight-week program? so the biggest benefit here is eight-week programs don't require too much work and You get to use them for eight weeks like in general maybe a standard duration of a program is is about four weeks before you really change stuff up Eight weeks lets you you know stick with that thing Take that little bit of work that you have put in and and really you know bleed as much out of it as you possibly can It's not just a sheer laziness thing though It's also good because it gives you eight weeks to get better at something And so if you're still on if you're on the same program like you don't need to change it even if you go through eight weeks and It's just it feels like it's been too long You don't need to change it as long as you're still seeing the results that you want to see as long as you're still You know Getting faster getting stronger putting on muscle like if the program is still serving its purpose Don't get rid of it and that's that's where the the eight-week programs really shine and and Specifically the people who are gonna be able to bleed the most out I keep saying bleed, but I think squeeze is the term squeeze the most out of this program are beginners so if I am Somebody who's totally new to working out and I don't even really know how to squat Well, then I can spend three weeks of my program learning how to squat And then I can spend the other five weeks of my program getting my reps up to like Being able to do an unbroken set of ten with a really good technique a lot of times you get a beginner Who's never really squatted and it takes them, you know You know one one week you can usually get it But if they walk in the next time in the next week They they probably can't just reproduce it on their own and so you need to kind of reinforce that pattern And there's two weeks there and then you go third week and they know how to do it But they like they they can't keep that technique and they start to lose that technique on their own And so now you have to teach them what it's like to maintain technique when your muscles are feeling so crappy And they're starting to burn. It's a totally different experience for the lifter But it's something that everybody has to learn if you're going to progress in the gym or in your body composition goals So eight weeks works and you know, we've only outlined three weeks there That leaves us five weeks to just build and keep putting weight on the bar and then to actually get stronger and not just you know To refine your technique. So eight week programs are not necessarily a bad thing They're not necessarily even a lazy thing.


It's been in the works for almost a decade. Myanmar and China have agreed to open a pipeline carrying about 148,000 tons of crude oil. The deal sealed the first official visit to China by the president of Myanmar, Tin Shuo. After an agreement was reached between the two countries, shipments had been held up because of an argument over fees. As you can see on the map, the pipeline route stretches nearly 800 kilometers across Myanmar to Kunming in the Chinese province of Yunnan. So what does this mean for their relationship moving forward? Well, I spoke earlier to Aaron Connolly from the Loei Institute for International Policy. Well, on the Chinese side, China's long concern that the majority of its oil imports come through the Strait of Malacca and that a foreign Navy, say the US Navy, in a conflict situation could use that narrow strait to choke off oil imports into China. And this pipeline, when running at full capacity, would supply about 6% of China's current oil imports. So it wouldn't solve the Strait of Malacca dilemma as the Chinese call it, but it would help them diversify away from that choke point. And so how does Myanmar fit into China's really ambitious one-road, one-belt project where it's aiming to build roads, infrastructure projects through 60 countries and linking them with China? Well, China's interest in Myanmar really precedes one-belt, one-road. Under the former military junta in Myanmar that gave up power in 2011, China received a number of favorable deals in Myanmar. The most controversial one was a deal to dam the Irawati River, which really has an almost spiritual character in Myanmar culture, and then send most of the electricity produced by that dam back to China. And as a result, Chinese investment in Myanmar really acquired a very bad reputation. So this is one of the first steps to really begin to bring online some of those investments that China made during the junta era when construction on the pipeline originally began. But it's not clear that Myanmar is going to welcome a great deal of additional Chinese investment. China sees this as a way to get access to the Indian Ocean through the Bay of Bengal, so it's very important to them. Myanmar really has a lot of leverage here. We know it's not just an economic relationship, but a strategic one as well, Aaron, because there are so many layers to the relationship between Myanmar and China. Concerns about Myanmar refugees spilling into China. China's aims to try to influence some of the ethnic clashes there. So what is it about the strategic relationship between the two? Well, on the Myanmar side, Myanmar has been trying to, over the last five years, bring to an end this ethnic insurgency that has plagued its periphery for the last 70 years. And what they want from China is some assistance bringing those insurgencies to an end. Some of these ethnic groups are Han Chinese, and they receive support from within China and take shelter within China. And so Myanmar, in fact, there was even an instance recently in which one of these organizations was crowdfunding in China using an online crowdfunding account. So Myanmar really wants China to help them by shutting down some of these efforts and helping bring to heal some of these insurgency groups. And China now has an incentive to do that now that the pipeline is online, because while these groups that they have supported haven't attacked the pipeline, they do supply groups that do.

Hello everybody, welcome back to another Adobe animate tutorial in this one I'm gonna show you how to create a camera and animate or move the camera That's right guys. You can create and move cameras inside Adobe animate. Let me show you how first step here I've got a pre-made template loaded up Just a girl with nice hair on a bicycle doing her thing as you can see here now The next step is if you wanted to follow along you could go file new Or actually you might just want to hit the home button here and then create new Right here, and then you can select the template. It's one of these down here somewhere down here Let me just keep looking it's that one right there. I just flew past it of course I did but this one here So if that's how you wanted to follow along, that's all I gotta do. All right, let's get back into the Into the tutorial. All right, cool So you've loaded this up the next step once you've got all of these things here is you want to go ahead and click On this here in your timeline quite literally it says add camera When you do that it creates a camera that it spans across all of the the entire basically the entire animation So you'll see here. I'm moving it. It is not doing anything However, it does have some options here in particular We've got two here. This one here is the camera one and let's say I want to zoom in All you need to do is move this to the right and Presto you've moved the camera in and you don't have to be a genius to see that you can go the other way Move it and zoom out now I will note that zooming out is a little bit weirder because sometimes you want it to be You're gonna get these white or black or whatever color background space you have on the side So just keep that in mind that you may not want to do that But anyways, I'm gonna delete this camera and I'm gonna create it again So that's the first step creating the camera now We're gonna put it into motion and the way to do that is quite simple I'm just gonna go ahead now and I'm gonna go up here and I'm gonna go to let's say by the end of this I want the camera to zoom in to This far we want it zoomed in right close now a couple things one You'll notice that I've got auto insert key frames set on so it created a key frame here So it knows that at the end here boom it is Way more zoomed in as you can see here So that's called the basically a jump cut and that is probably not what you're looking for But if that's what you're looking for for an a sudden zoom That is one way to do it now the next step is if you want this to be a gradual zoom or a I guess an animated zoom you'd call it click on any one of the key frames on the camera Option here and then go to insert Classic tween resist the urge to go to motion tween. It's actually a classic tween that will do it when you when you left click on Insert classic tween you'll notice here that at the start it zoomed out where it's supposed to be and then as I hit play here It slowly zooms in so those are the ways to zoom and move the camera inside Adobe animate I hope this tutorial helped you ton more stuff coming up. Stay tuned

ever since the adoption of the Paris Agreement, bottom-up action, local action on climate change will become increasingly important. And this is also one of the angles of our case study, which I will be presenting at our COPS site event, where we looked at biogas systems in Bali, Indonesia, and how these biogas systems can help not only to mitigate climate change, but also how those biogas system can help local communities economically, for example. This case study in Bali is part of a larger research project called TransRisk, where we have 14 case studies around the globe. And like one of the common angles of this kind of research project called TransRisk is that we look at enabling factors who have to be in place in order to help local communities to do their share, to mitigate climate change, and how local communities can help to make the Paris Agreement objectives a reality.

Janice is a professor at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco where she teaches documentary film. She's a long-time resident of Los Angeles and a member of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. Please join me in welcoming Janice Engel. Janice, do you want to take your picture? Do you want to take your picture? Yes, hey, there's something, oh I have a mic on. There's something that I always do and I usually do it before the show, but since you're all still here. Can I get the house lights for a second? I'm going to take your picture because this moment will never ever happen again.  Are you ready? One, two, three. That was my define y'all. Well Janice, by the way, before we get started here, we're going to have a discussion for a few minutes but I want to introduce Carlisle VanVort who is a producer for this documentary and Carlisle is a native Houstonian and is also happily a graduate of this university. So Carlisle, please stand and be recognized. It's my producing partner y'all.  No. And actually I think you confessed to me that you really didn't know who Molly was. Is this correct? And out in LA, I'm not going to make any comments about that but at any rate, in New York also that's true. So how did this happen? I mean you didn't know about her. So yeah, I admit that to everybody. I am born and raised in New York and then moved to the other left coast, Los Angeles, to go to college, to go to university at USC. I had heard of Molly but just in passing, you know, I didn't read her columns and ashamed to say I really didn't know about her and I wasn't part of her constituency because like I'm, you know, both coasts. And so in, I had heard of her because I had heard the term shrub. Shrub. Yes. And I knew that she had come up with that. And I think I had seen her probably on Letterman one night but that's about it. In 2012, our other producing partner James Egan had wanted to make a film with me for a while and he called me and said you need to go see this play that's on at the Geffen Playhouse in Westwood in Los Angeles called Red Hot Patriot, the Kick-Ass Wood of Molly Ivins. Do you know who she is? And I said, my name's familiar. He said, just, it's the closing this week. Kathleen Turner's starring it. Go see it. And he knew the playwright. So I went to see it. This is the Kathleen Turner. Yes. I went to see it and I got one ticket and sat in the third row and I was blown away by the material. Kathleen was good but the material was Molly.  It was a laugh a minute and I came home and I googled her till two or three in the morning and I found all these C-span clips. I was like, wow. So I called James and I said, she's amazing. What's the story? He said, nothing's ever been done. I said, nothing's ever been done. He said, nope. No documentary, nothing. And I said, what do we got to do? So through the playwrights, the Engel sisters who by the way spelled their last name the same way as I do, E-N-G-E-L. And we're not related. Put us in touch with Molly's chief of stuff, Betsy Moon, who was here in the audience. Betsy say, hey y'all. Hey y'all. And so Betsy IMDB, James and I found out we were for real. We were who we said we were. And then put us in touch with Molly's estate. And while all this was going on, we were waiting for the green line and approval, which her estate, she left her estate to the Texas Observer in the ACLU. We knew we needed a Texan. We're both from New York. James is from Baltimore. We live in LA. I mean, what do we know really about Texas? And we both had a mutual very, very, my best friend, James's close friend, who was a Texan. And we said, Carlisle Vandervoort. And I think I said she deserves this. And we called her up and James hard pressed her. Gave her 48 hours. She called us back in less than 12. And she said, I'm in. And now what's interesting too is two things. Carlisle, not only is a Texan and a Estonian, she grew up in the same neighborhood as Molly Ivens in River Oaks. And she went to the same private school, St. Johns. She is also a child of oil and gas privilege. And she was an activist in her own right in the LBGTQ community. So it's in her blood. And she likes to tell us we were the carpetbaggers. And basically we needed Carlisle. I mean, we don't know how to talk to people who have money and documentarians who need money to make a film. And Carlisle does and did. And so we got the green light. And I want to say five weeks later I was on a plane to Texas and down to Austin with Carlisle. And we did our first six interviews. And we had our first fundraiser at the church of High Tower, Jim Hightower's office, which is in a church. And we raised our first $17,000. And we were off and running. Speaking of money, other than fundraising, which everybody that has anything to do with the documentary, making a documentary film has to worry about, that's probably the number one challenge is getting funding. What other challenges, though, did you have in making this?  What did you have to do? Were there any problems at all in doing this? Well, there's always problems, yes, you say. Finding the money is the hardest thing of all, for sure. But the second hardest thing or equally as hard is really digging in. When I make films, no matter if they're on a person, and I've made a number of documentaries on people, or a subject, you have to do a deep dive. It's a commitment. It's an archeological dig into someone's life. How long did you work on this? Six plus years. Y'all live in here at the Brisco. Thank you, Don. And his staff, Margaret Schlanke and her colleagues were essential. And Betsy Moon basically brokered that for me. I had to climb a mountain called Molly, and that's what I'd been doing for six plus years. And her archive is enormous. Somebody once said that Molly knew she was going to be famous. I don't know about that, but she was a pack rat. And she had notes that her father had left her on the kitchen counter from when she was a kid. So I don't think I really...  I would look through the Brisco and I would say, I want this, I want this. I was always looking for pictures. I was looking for video. I was looking for the journal entries, diary entries, things that would reveal who she really was. And I had to come back, and that takes money. And I had to spend time. And I don't have that luxury of time. I did, obviously. But I mean, I had to work while I was making this to pay my mortgage. And I would come back and I would basically live in the archives for periods of time. And I also didn't have the luxury to read through stuff while I was there.  And I would find her documents. And I did hire a boots on the ground researcher to help me. And we would just go through stuff. Minneapolis Tribune. We'd look for certain key points in our life. And I would take photos. Raw and JPEG. I didn't want to have to come back. I didn't want it to cost you guys money. And I took raw photos because I knew if I'm going to use something, I could then blow it up. And it would be good quality for a feature. And I said, I came back after. I don't know. I think I've spent probably a total of six to eight months at different times over the past, I'd say five years. From 2012 to 2018. Is that why we had a chair with your name on it? Can I get that, please? And anyway, so I came back and I said to my producing partners, they said, well, would you guys, you know, I took all these pictures. And when I really started to assess it, I thought I had maybe 500 to 1,000. I had over 3,000. And I went through each and every one of them. And I cataloged them. And I organized it by not only themes in Molly's life, but also Molly's life. Everything had, it was very, very specific how I went through. And I made copious notes. And that actually process, it drove my producing partners crazy. Carlisle can attest to that. It took me 18 months to do that. And that's a lot of work. But it also helped the process in terms of, then I edited for five years before I brought an editor on, culling, culling, culling down. And I think that's, we started talking about two years ago. Yes. You know, the thing about Molly, I talked to Molly for years about her papers. And she really expressed to me that she had no interest in that whatsoever. And just really, but she had this, as you say, this pack rat aspect to her, that thankfully, from a historian's point of view, she did keep stuff. But she always downplayed it. And I just need to give credit to John Henry Fox, the widow, Liz Falk, who you've interviewed on this. Liz became Molly's assistant. Yes. And Liz called me several times and would go, I've got a whole bunch of stuff in a box. It's coming to your way. And she really saved a whole lot of Molly's material, with Molly's blessing. But she, I just want to give credit in terms of the stuff that you had. Well, I just lost my microphone. I wanted to give Liz credit. The filmmaker. I'll just tell you. I got you. I got you. I got you. This is so nice. I did. Yeah, we lost our... Well, at any rate, I wanted to give credit to Liz. Yeah, we just switched roles here. That's good. So what do you want people to take away from... When they see this documentary, what do you want them to take away from it? I mean, what kind of impact... What are you looking for here in terms of impact? I'm just going to give credit to Betsy Moon, too, for basically also after Liz Falk, it was Betsy Moon. Yeah, that's true. I want to give credit to Betsy. I want people... Molly was a First Amendment warrior. And she loved y'all. She loved Texas. She loved people. She loved the process and she loved democracy. And we were living in very threatening times. She's more relevant now than when she was alive. And she said it, you know? You know, it's up to us. You know, Jim Hightar says it's up to us to do the heavy lifting. You know, she says, this is our deal. In that speech that was on Idaho Public TV. And when she said that this is our deal, the first time I saw that and I still to this day get chills because she was talking to the interviewer. And when she said this is our deal, she was talking to the camera. She was looking at all of you and me. It is our deal. We are the deciders. Those people up in your state capitals, Washington, they're just the people we've hired to drive the bus for a while. And we have to have campaign finance reform. We must overturn Citizens United. So the takeaway is that it is up to us and for y'all you got to tell your children and your grandchildren. This is somebody said in one of the newspapers we've had a slew of amazing reviews that this is a gift to the online generation.  And they need a blueprint of what to do. Well, bang them pots and pans. Get out in the streets. And basically get rid of the, I'm sorry, but toppling of the white male patriarchy, no offense to my friends. But it is time. We have 101 freshman congresswomen. We're moving in the right direction. But it's got to happen faster. So in conclusion, people ask me, I've seen this three or four times now and I get something out of it different every time I see it. But people are always asking me as since you hit the festival circuit where they can go see this film. So you may not want to talk about this, but how are we doing on that? I mean, where do you hope that people will be able to see it in the future? Very soon, hopefully, by the summer or within the summer coming to a theater near you. We've just, I'm happy to say that we have picked a distributor. And it is somebody who basically is a major distributor for documentaries and knows the playbook because they distributed RBG. Okay, on that note, thank you.


We have our first heartbeat photo superfan.  Let's have a look at some of his favorite foods using heartbeat photos. The shot is by Aladdin. These are original shots of these dishes. Let me zoom out so you can see the whole thing. I'll move myself and we can also look at some of his other dishes. Now, heartbeat photos lets you zoom in so if you want to see something here, you can just zoom in to read the small print very clearly. I'm just using the mouse wheel, very simple. And if you continue exploring and you see something else you want to zoom into like this coffee, just use the mouse wheel and you can clearly see what is written on the mug. This is the power of heartbeat photos. You can press Q to move the thumbnails to different locations. You just hover over each thumbnail to see the big picture. Now you can press X to make it full, like use the entire region of your browser.  Now it maintains the aspect ratio so if the image is of a different dimension like this then you might not see the whole image but that's why you can just move with the mouse to see the rest of it as you explore different photos. You can also press V, V just turns into grid view where you can look at everything in a very simple grid style and this guy has so many photos, you have to go to the second page to see the rest of his food original photos. The link to all this, the link to this gallery is down there in the description below, check it out. And how can you use these photos in your own work? Not only can you enjoy these photos, you can also go to heartbeat.photos and look at everybody else's photos and use them in your own work that you can monetize. And I'll explain that in a moment but here at heartbeat.photos, the link is down there in the description below, you can see my galleries where a Big Mac doesn't cost 3.99, it costs your health. This is one of my galleries of clever photos. Here are some beautiful photos. Now you can just hover, no clicking again, this is a click list gallery, you can just hover over each thumbnail to get a preview of the gallery and if you like it, just click and you can see the rest of the photos. Here I have the photos on the left side and let me again press X to fill out my entire browser window so there's no black bars. And I love these photos, these are my favorite scenes from different places in the world that I collected and made available to you again. The link is down there in the description below. I can press Q, move the thumbnails to different corners and I can also press R to rotate the thumbnail if I think it's in the wrong direction, of course they're not in the wrong direction so there's no need to press R but you can. Now how do you make money from these photos when you use them in your work? Because the uploader of the photo can choose to make a gallery public when he does that, it tells the world that anyone can look at their photos and use them in their own work so that if that work makes money we pay the photographer the original content creator. So for example, for the food photos in our first heartbeat photo superfan, if I were to use any of his photos in my blog and in my blog made money, we would pay this photographer a portion of that revenue. Now we wouldn't take anything away from the writer, the writer would make the same amount of money whether or not he uses photos from here or somewhere else, we would pay from our cut, the heartbeat cut, every contributor such as this photographer, that's the unique part of how Heartbeat works compared to YouTube because what does YouTube do? YouTube pays the video creator 55% of the ad revenue and keeps 45%, doesn't pay anyone else from the 45%, YouTube keeps it all but as I mentioned, if the writer uses these photos in his blog he would still make his 55% on Heartbeat but we would pay the photographer from our 45% taking nothing away from the writer. Let me show you how that works. Here I've written a blog. This blog is on Vicki, vi.ki.  These photos are taken from Heartbeat photos. Let me show you, click. Here it is, Heartbeat photos, see? All these photos are on Heartbeat photos. By using these photos in my blog I am now going to get paid as the photographer whenever that blog makes money without taking anything away from the writer. Let me go back to the blog, which is here. So this is Vicki, vi.ki.  If you click the first thumbnail as of this, as of making this video those thumbnails change over time, you can see my blog and I use a lot of photos in writing this article about how to get more views showing how we went from one view a day to 5,000 views a day using Heartbeat. And this is an important article, you should read it. Again, the link is down there in the description below because it shows exactly this chart from YouTube Analytics where we were making only one or two views a day and by putting this video on Heartbeat now makes over 6,600 views a day as of yesterday. October 7th, today's October 8th. This thing may end up making tens of thousands of views a day from just one or two views a day a month ago. Eventually, we don't know how many views it will grow to before it plateaus off but it's still accelerating. And I made a video about this actually and the video is right at the top of the blog how we hit a home run in views. Click that I to see this video so you can learn how it works. But very briefly, we just went to Heartbeat which is H.KI, just type H key H.KI to see this. And by the way, we have dark mode now. This is dark mode and this is not dark mode. So once you create moments using Heartbeat moments then YouTube will get this indicator that something's happening to the video. It's getting more watch time. So let me show you that video in particular. If I go back to the blog and I click this it takes me exactly to that moment, to that video with the moments. So here are the moments. Each time I click one of these moments, it jumps to that point in the video. No, no, hey, look at this nice swing chair. Let's do it. YouTube is getting an indication that something special about this video and it should pay more attention and try testing the video in different parts of YouTube to see if it will get traction. That's exactly what happened when YouTube was testing my video. This is one of my personal videos where it started generating a little bit more views every day. This was YouTube testing it in different places. And it's getting all of its views from suggested videos. Here, look. This graph shows a breakdown of where the views are coming from and it's all suggested videos because YouTube got that little push to start testing the video in different places is how it got into that position of power to get so many views from suggested videos. This is a very simple concept. Use heartbeat moments to get this surge in views for your videos. And you do that by just going to h.ki, clicking heartbeat moments extension. That'll take you to this Chrome Web Store where you can see we already have 143 users who've installed heartbeat moments. When you install it, just go to your videos on your channel and just press the h.ki to create moments for your best moments. And then tell your friends, if you search for George, sorry, I'm signed into my wrong account here, if you search for George, you can see my best moments here. And you encourage your friends to watch your best moments like Mike Tyson getting knocked out. That was exciting or me jumping out of an airplane or all the cool moments in my favorite cartoon from Star Blazers, motivational speeches, sexy girls, music videos, all that stuff, including the Daenerys video where I got that big surge in views just somewhere down here. Here it is. And so by using heartbeat and telling your friends to by sharing your best moments with your friends and other people who are watching videos on heartbeat, you too may get a surge in views as you're giving YouTube those indicators, the YouTube algorithm that something special is happening at different moments of your video. You're increasing watch time, specific sections, which is what YouTube looks for when it's deciding which videos to promote. All right, I hope you found this video helpful. I hope you'll check out our first heartbeat photos Superfan and I hope you'll give Vicky a try. Just go to vi.ki to check out all these awesome video Vicky articles.
