G'day mate 40 here. Welcome back to 40 University Today class our topic is Sadness and What's the difference between sad and Having major depressive disorder Right how how how we lost sadness reading this terrific 2007 book it's called the loss of sadness how psychiatry transformed normal sorrow into depressive disorder so this books by Alan v. Horwitz a sociologist of Medicine and Jerome wakefield a medical historian. So just a terrific book.  It's whatever the DSM 5 says So guys you might be mentally ill You might be suffering from major depressive disorder right now, but here to help you out Take take a recolour. It's no caffeine. It's sugar-free Tastes really really good. Trust the mental health experts. Okay, so let's listen to the experts guys All right, do you have a depressed mood? Most of the day nearly every day you feel sad empty hopeless Or are you observed by others feeling sad empty hopeless? Do you often appear tearful? Do you have an irritable mood? Are you in go and get enduring a loss of interest and a loss of pleasure? Do you experience a markedly diminished interest and pleasure in all activities most activities most of the day nearly every day? Have you endured weight loss or weight gain? Do you have insomnia or hypersomnia? Do you have psychomotor? agitation or retardation Do you have fatigue? Do you have chronic fatigue? If you have chronic fatigue, you may have major depressive disorder. Do you feel worthless? Only cry when I watch Luke straw man vaccine hesitancy Do you feel worthless? Are you suffering from excessive or inappropriate guilt? Are you enduring decreased concentration? Are you having thoughts of death or suicide? If you've got five or more of these symptoms guys, you've got major depressive disorder so Bigger picture what the heck is mental illness? So what's the difference between what's normal and what's abnormal? All right, so now there are lots of Yeah, depression is just my daphanel deficiency guys so There are lots of statistical Disorders that are normal like gum disease is normal Utherosclerosis in the hardening of the arteries that's normal, but they're still disorders So lots of just because something's normal doesn't mean it's not a disorder So it's entirely possible that 60% of the population may be Suffering from major depressive disorder and that doesn't mean it's not a disorder and that it's not an illness Okay, and there's also a difference between Disorder and what is socially desirable and socially acceptable? So it may be in your area voting for Donald Trump or supporting nationalism is Socially unacceptable, but that doesn't mean that your nationalist Magga tendencies are a disorder so you can have an individual who's socially deviant like you You may have an individual whose nature is in conflict with the values of wider society like you But that doesn't make you Disordered, right? So we have to distinguish disorder from social values All right disorders are real medical ailments right Where disorders mean an objective problem in human functioning? So this is a safe place for you to share you are suffering from an objective problem in your individual functioning Please let me know have I been depressed my understanding of my life experience is that most of my life I Had some kind of low level of depression, which is currently called dysthymia So it's like a low level and then I certainly had times Where I was pretty much sunk in depression So I remember at age six my family moved from back from England to Avondale College in Australia And when we'd walk around the college People thought that I looked like a Holocaust survivor because I was just like such a depressed unhappy six-year-old so I think I've I Think I've endured Probably more than my share of depression. I think I probably have above average tendencies towards neuroticism, which means enjoying feeling negative Emotions and so a lot of this is not just feeling regret right at age six. I'm not sure how much regret I was feeling But yeah, I think I've had more than my share of depression Okay, but I Think here's the authors here give us this plausible demarcation point between human normality and disorder in a medical sense Right between biologically designed functions the resort of natural selection and the failure of such functioning meaning dysfunction All right, so the normal function of bodily organs is are they doing what they were designed to do?  You don't have a lung disorder Right So disorder exists when the organ is unable to accomplish the function for which it is biologically designed Okay, so let's take that and apply it to psychological processes So let's say My good friend Ricardo. Let's say Ricardo goes on a Twitter jihad and denounces me For next 30 days and Every day he makes some trenchant Telling criticism of me, right? It would be weird of me now giving given my Three-plus year history with Ricardo if that didn't bother me, but if that didn't make me feel hurt that would be weird and So what do we do when we feel hurt, right? We're all manly men here when we feel hurt We usually try to mask it with anger, right? So it'd be weird if it wasn't like angry at Ricardo for denouncing me, but the the the anger is really just a covering for the hurt it's like oh man, I thought we were I thought we were bonded here and And now he's denouncing me and you know, I thought we were so awesome together Like I feel like I've lost an important friend in my life It would be weird if I was not sad and hurt by you know the loss of Ricardo's friendship and then In all likelihood, I would mask that sadness and hurt by being angry right so on the other hand if I was if I was equally sad and Equally hurt and he Cree equally angry about it a year later. That's obviously a dysfunction All right, you lose an important friend in your life. It would be weird if you didn't feel sad All right So sadness serves a function it tells you that things that you expected or wanted Anticipated are not happening that your life is not going in the direction that you wanted. So so sadness serves a function It's like a you know flashing yellow side Yellow light or flashing red light, right? it would be dysfunctional not to have some sadness some hurt and So And among blokes that's most likely going to manifest as as Anger right so anger almost always covers up hurt Right, so it'd be weird if you lose an important friend and you don't feel hurt right that that that would just be strange So you'd want to have some hurt But you wouldn't want to if I let's say I couldn't work Because I was so hurt that would be a dysfunction and let's say I was I was too depressed over the loss of my friendship with Ricardo That I couldn't go to sure that would be a dysfunction. Let's say I'm so hurt by By the loss of my friendship with Ricardo that I couldn't go on a date or I couldn't couldn't make sweet sweet tender Love to to my woman that that would be a dysfunction or if I if I could not watch the Dallas Cowboys with pleasure anymore because Ricardo likes the Dallas Cowboys I like the Dallas Cowboys and when I watch the Dallas Cowboys it reminds me of Ricardo Therefore, I'm too upset to watch the Dallas Cowboys. That would be that would be a level of dysfunction or if I started talking to like complete strangers, you know in a hospital waiting room or You know on a bus or at a 12-step program like inappropriately like bringing this up and and moping about it that would be a level of dysfunction Okay, Holly says my dog died yesterday. I'm either sad or depressed. I don't know which one and I don't care It just feels bad. Yeah, there's no there's no difference empirically between feeling sad and feeling depressed Right. So what the DSM cause major depressive disorder is usually just a temporary condition of sadness That is frequently functional like if you have had a close relationship You know a good bond with your dog and then your dog dies it would be weird and it would be dysfunctional if you didn't feel sad and What you're feeling is is going to fulfill all the criteria for major depressive disorder But if you're still moping around and still sad Still equally sad as you are now About the loss of your dog six months from now and a year from now then then it's turned into a dysfunction So we need context. All right, so Philip Roth was depressed for many years. Do you think it's likely this depression was tied to many years of bad behavior? Yes Yes, I think that probably had something to do with it So we need context so You you get a flat tire on the way to an important appointment It'd be weird if you weren't bummed out you lose your wallet, right? It'd be weird if you weren't bummed out But if you were equally bummed out about the flat tire losing your wallet two months later Then it's turned into a dysfunction, right? There's something wrong. So we need context.  You lose your spouse of 30 years Let's say it was a good relationship All right, you're obviously going to be sad about it But if you're equally sad about it 10 years later, then there's something wrong So if we lose if we lose status if we lose prestige If we lose income if we lose savings if we made a bad investment if we lose important friendships if we lose a pat These are all huge losses and It'd be weird if you won't Reduce to essentially the all the symptoms of major or many of the symptoms of major depressive disorder For a few days a few weeks a few months even if it's a major loss But if you're still moping around about the loss of your parakeet six months later at the equivalent level That you did on the first day then something's wrong. Mr. Whitemail says I got pulled over on my way to a job interview I immediately knew I wasn't getting the job There's a moral dimension to depression that we must acknowledge Okay, well sometimes there's there's a moral dimension like yeah often what you could call depression a major depressive disorder I would expect the primary cause for this is a lack of Normal ability to Connect with other people Yeah, give yourself one day of mourning for every year of marriage presuming the marriage is good if your marriage stinks Then you're not a bad person if you don't mourn the death of your spouse All right if if you if your marriage is bad and then Your spouse dies and you immediately like plunge into some exciting new romance It would be weird if you're all bummed and depressed so Context is important, right? So fear responses like fear responses are biologically designed to arise in dangerous situations But not in safe situations right, so if you're having a disproportionate fear response then That's dysfunctional if you're having a complete lack of fear when you should feel Feel afraid then that's dysfunctional, right? If if you feel zero sadness over the loss of an important friend, that's dysfunctional, right? So fear loss These these play an important role so if your Your fear mechanisms and your sadness mechanisms do not operate as designed Then you've got a disorder And also there's much variation among individuals in the sensitivity with which they respond to loss With sadness part of this is cultural so in Persian culture as I understand it if your spouse dies And you hated your spouse you still must publicly mourn if your friend dies and Oh Member of your family dies and you hated this member of your family. You're still expected to publicly mourn Right, so culture is going to affect us So Anglo-Saxon culture is much more stiff upper lip than say Middle Eastern culture So I've had Jewish friends tell me they were the only ones who are crying at at a Gentile funeral So Jews tend to be more demonstrative of their emotions than Anglos Middle Eastern people tend to be more demonstrative of their emotions than people from northern Europe So our culture and genetics our heritage is going to affect how much we Share our sadness and our negative feelings so despite this virtually all of us have the capacity to develop sadness as a Biologically select selected adaptation to handling loss So we did not fully understand our last response mechanisms So we can't always stay with confidence the function of the last response and we don't clearly know what exactly is normal and Abnormal so unlike say the function of the eyes or the function of the muscles the functions of last responses and not as apparent And they are subject to much more dispute But we can kind of infer what responses of a mechanism like a last mechanism are normal right, so we know that sleep is a Biologically designed response to life and that some sleep conditions are normal where others are sleep disorders But we don't we don't have a scientific consensus that explains why we sleep so One way of Defining sadness in a scientific way. It's just let's just call it a harmful dysfunction of loss response mechanisms alright, we all have loss response mechanisms and If you're feeling too much sadness too much fear or not enough sadness not enough fear You you've got a harmful dysfunction HD right harmful dysfunction of loss response mechanisms So you've got a mental disorder when it meets two Criteria one is dysfunction something has gone wrong with your internal mechanisms ability to perform its biologically designed functions Second the dysfunction must be harmful to you So you've got a mental disorder and you've got the failure of a person's internal Mechanisms to perform their functions as designed by nature and it impinges harmfully on the person's well-being This is not precise, but I think we're we're getting somewhere right, so Think about William Styron's Black depression which which arose after the he received a prestigious award right that was that was a dysfunction or David Karp He he got tenure as an academic he got tenure and Somehow their lost mechanisms went awry and they plunged into dark dark depression after getting good news So if you got a dysfunction of your loss response, that's going to involve some Distorted cognitive perception of yourself of the world and of the future that triggers inappropriate levels of sadness that whatever happened that old guy from Canada Kevin Michael Grace is still broadcasting every day and His foil Kyle is pursuing his life without regard to live streaming So Kyle as well Kevin seems well. They're both flourishing Okay, so somebody becomes deeply depressed after the death of a pet goldfish or some minor perceived slight Like if you come into the this chat room and you don't like bow down. It's like all hail 40 Hail 40 Hail our people right and I go oh man. There's no bowing down right if I'm bummed about that Then there's something wrong with me. I'm having some kind of cognitive distortion So getting overly just overly sensitive having some kind of disproportionate loss response Right, then then you've got probably some dysfunction So these disorders might arise after initially no more level response to actual loss But then sometimes our responses to loss become Disengaged from the circumstances of the loss and they persist with disproportionate intensity long after the loss provoking conditions of end it So let's say your girlfriend breaks up with you and You feel sad, but then you get a new girlfriend But you're still sad Then if you've got a new girlfriend if you've got a girl on a job You should not generally speaking be going around moping With with some some exceptions and sometimes our Normal experience of loss events for whatever reason produces biochemical and anatomical vulnerabilities That make recurrence of depressive episodes more likely with less and less provocation So you can have lost responses that begin as normal responses but then your emotional reactions can become detached from a specific time place in circumstance and you can become somehow Your wiring can get miswired and you can just fall into Sadness disproportionate sadness and and and depression with less and less of a trigger needed and Sometimes you can have Dysfunctions in your last response that will cause symptoms that are so extreme That they scream. Hey, you get you've got a dysfunction here So if you hallucinate if you have delusions, right? If you completely immobilize if you lose contact with reality All right, you're Your loss mechanism is not functioning correctly. It's become a disorder So if you have a dangerously, this is like dangerously high fever fever uncontrolled vomiting, right? So normally a fever and vomiting are Adaptive responses to your circumstance, but occasionally You'll have an abnormally high fever and uncontrolled vomiting And so now you've got a failure of what is otherwise an adaptive response So there's a difference between sadness due to your own internal dysfunction your own miss wiring Versus sadness. It is a biologically designed and appropriate response to external events so There is sadness that is endogenous meaning spontaneously caused by some kind of internal miss wiring That has no external trigger and then there is reactive sadness meaning triggered by some external event so endogenous depressions arise in the absence of real loss and so these are almost always internal dysfunctions, but reactive depressions are usually going to be proportionate to outside events are usually going to be normal Responses and the sadness will go away with time and distance from the triggering event So not all depressive disorders have physiological causes. It's not always a brain problem when there's a depressive disorder So physiological causes biological causes can produce disorders But also psychological and social factors can lead to dysfunction So if you're bummed that the the Democrats won the 2020 election Then then it'd be weird if you didn't feel sad for a while so What what psychiatrists called major depressive disorder is frequently even usually an appropriate natural Biological response to Loss in your life loss of a pet loss of a friend loss of status loss of income loss of assets loss of health Now there are much more radical critiques of psychiatric diagnoses That leave no room for any kind of constructive engagement with psychiatry So psychiatrists Thomas Zah as argued there are zero mental disorders because a disorder requires physical lesions Okay, that doesn't make sense to me Sociologist Thomas chef Has this labeling theory that says, you know all mental health disorders are simply social control so What are the advantages of distinguishing normal sadness from major depressive disorder? Okay, well number one pathologizing calling something a real medical illness When it's just a normal condition they cause harm And avoiding this pathologizing decreases the harm Because if you tell people they got a major depressive disorder They will take it that that you know, they they're seriously sick.  So if you've got normal sadness, you don't need any medical treatment Separating normal sadness from depressive disorder Helps to recognize the relationship of sadness to difficult social conditions and thus to help Identify appropriate social interventions Separating major depressive Disorder from normal intense sadness provides a basis for more accurate epidemiological estimates the prevalence of depressive disorders and the cost of treating it Distinguishing disorder from normal sadness allows for a better estimate of How large is the quote-unquote unmet need for mental health services? If we draw a more careful distinction between disorder and normal sadness Then researchers will be able to Choose samples to study that more accurately reflect true mental health disorders instead of ordinary sadness distinguishing ordinary sadness from mental illness avoids medicalizing our thinking about normal sadness and it helps to maintain the conceptual integrity Of psychiatry and I know you're all down with maintaining the conceptual integrity of society. Bye. Bye


This summer, the ScratchEd team is hosting Creative Computing, an online scratch workshop for teachers, made possible with support from Google's CS4HS initiative. The Creative Computing Online Workshop is free. It is six weeks long, beginning Monday, June 3rd, and ending July 12th, and involves approximately 10 to 12 hours of activity each week. The workshop is designed for K to 12 educators, but is open to anyone who is interested in Creative Computing. No prior experience with Scratch or with programming is required. Computers are a part of every aspect of our lives, but we engage with computers and computation primarily as consumers rather than as producers. We watch videos on YouTube, we play games on our cell phones, we participate in social networks, but computation is a powerful creative medium for self-expression and problem solving, and everyone should be able to engage with computation as creators.  But how do we do this? Well, you need access to tools and to community, and Scratch is one tool and one community for supporting Creative Computing. Scratch is a free programming environment that enables young people to create their own interactive media, stories, games, animations, and you build projects by snapping blocks together just as you snap Lego bricks together in the physical world. Scratch is also an online community where people can share their projects with others online. You can view projects, interact with projects, and even look inside projects to study and remix others' code. The Creative Computing Workshop is all about supporting Creative Computing in the classroom, and will be using the Scratch programming language as our primary tool for exploration. In the workshop, you'll be creating Scratch projects, connecting with other educators, and reflecting on how to include Creative Computing in learning experiences. I'll be your guide through the big ideas of Creative Computing in the workshop, but let me introduce you to other members of the workshop facilitation team. In the online workshop activities, you'll have a variety of opportunities to engage with Creative Computing and learn more about Scratch. We'll show you a range of sample Scratch projects to give you ideas and inspiration for designing your own computational creations, and we'll introduce activities and resources to help you gain hands-on experience with Scratch. We'll help you explore key computational practices by walking you through each of the daily workshop activities. We'll also introduce you to powerful computational concepts like sequences, loops, parallelism, events, conditionals, and data, those ideas that are central to computer science and computational thinking more broadly. Whether you're completely new to Scratch and Creative Computing, or have prior experience, we'll help you connect the computational practices and computational concepts through a deeper familiarity and fluency with the Scratch offering environment and the online community.

Welcome everybody. JR Fisher here. Good morning, good evening, good night. Whatever time zone you're in, I'm joined by the lovely, beautiful, talented. Jessica, would you like to say hi to everybody? Yeah, it's Friday and we have got an awesome, awesome training for you today. Because I'm going to show you how to spy on people's ads. I found a way to do this and when I found it, I was like, God, I got to share this with other people You can literally see what the top ads are and hack the whole thing, the funnel, the ads, everything about them, everything. So we're going to do that today. So I want to make sure everybody can hear me. So do me a favor if you are on this call. And I know we have a lot of people on here today and I think it is going to be full. So make sure you do not log out. But if you would put in the comments there, you know, who you are, what's going on, where you're at, any of that kind of stuff. I want to make sure you can hear me. So just type that in that comment section. All the comments will be private. So nobody's going to see your comments but us. So you can send us all kinds of messages if you want. That's pretty cool. But don't lose your spot.  And that's not going to make you happy. So please do me a favor type in that comment section. I want to make sure you can hear me. So put in there, you know, where you're from, all that good stuff. I see Omar is in there from Oklahoma. And I got Terry from New York City. I got Peter and it looks like Philippines. Who else we got over there, Jessica? Alina is in Connecticut. Alina from Connecticut. What's going on, Alina? Good to see you. Christine is in Shasta, California. Christine, you're not too far from us. Shasta's not that far north of us, in Diego, is it? I have no idea. No idea. All right. Who else we got going on? Thomas is in Pennsylvania. Thomas in Pennsylvania. What's going on, dude? Good to have you here. Chris is in Ontario, Canada. Chris is in Ontario, Canada. Very cool. So we have people from all around the world and that's really awesome. I got some sad news yesterday. And I guess it didn't really happen yesterday. It happened Wednesday. But gentlemen, I got to meet a couple of years ago, Sean Stevenson, who had spent his life in a wheelchair, passed away. And I want to actually share a video he did. I'm going to do that at the very end today. So I'm going to share a video.   It's hilarious to it because he was an amazing person. He only stood two feet eight inches tall. He had several degrees. He had met with the Dalai Lama. He worked for President Bill Clinton. Incredible motivational speaker. And his wife was the same. She was a motivational speaker too. She was totally normal and healthy and all that. But they had a really good life together. But unfortunately he had something called brittle bone disease. And he got a fracture to his head and he died in the operating room. So if you want to see him, I would recommend that you go to the link I'm going to put in the comments section at the end of this training. You can also go to any of my pages. I posted a picture of him and what his wife wrote about him and just really an amazing person. So everybody think about his family and everything. All right. So let's get started on this today. Now we're going to talk about how to create and run successful YouTube and Facebook ads. Now what's the best way to get good at something? And that is to copy success. So what I'm going to show you today is a software in a way, and I have no skin in the game in the software. So you can just go to it and get it. But I don't have an affiliate link or anything for it. But what it will do is it will actually spy on people's ads. And you can sort it by the longest running ads they had, which tells you they worked. You can see how many views, how many comments, how many shares, everything. It's just going to tell you everything about their ads. So obviously if they've been running an ad for a long time and you do the same thing, you'll probably get about the same results. So I want to get into that and show that to you. I like this quote I found. There's no harm in being a copycat. If someone else is doing a good job, copy. It's free. And that's really the truth. Now I don't mean copy word for word in every single thing they do, but you can copy the concept of what they're doing and how they're going about it. If they're doing a one minute video that has a certain intro and a certain exit, you may want to do the same thing. So don't try to reinvent the wheel. You're just going to kind of redesign it a little bit. So we're not going to change what works, but we will put it to where it kind of fits our personality and that type of thing. So let's jump into this. It's a simple process. This is how the process works. Number one, you find a successful ads on YouTube and Facebook and then you emulate them. That's it. Step two, rinse and repeat. You just do that over and over again. Now you can do little tweaks in your ads to see what kind of different results you get, but basically there's two steps to this guys. This is super, super easy. So this is the actual software now. You're looking at the panel of it. And what I did is I actually prerecorded me going through the software so I wouldn't have any hiccups in it or anything.  You're going to love this though. I promise you're going to love this. Okay. I've logged into my account. This is called Power Ad Spine. This is really an amazing, amazing software because when you're running ads, you can waste a lot of money on ads that don't work and you're not putting them in the right spot. And what this tool enables you to do is actually search ads that are on Instagram, YouTube, Facebook. And when you do that, you can look at the ads and sort of based on how long they've been there, you can look at the original ad. And by doing so, you can do something very similar to their ad and know you're going to get results because they're already doing it. So somebody's not going to run an ad, you know, for two or three years and it not work. So this is what this enables you to do. So I want to go over here first and show you all the things you can do. Okay. So you've got search mode here. So here's the way you can search. You can search with keywords. You can search by advertiser and you can search by domain. Now, I like using the keywords one, but you know, if you're focusing in on one of your competitors, you can certainly do advertiser or domain. But let's go with keywords first. Okay. I'm just going to search shirt in here and see what I get. Now, what happens is it's going to pull up all these ads here and it's going to show you where the word shirt came in the title right here. And this is pretty cool stuff because I can look here and I can see how many likes, how many comments and all this. Let's just scroll through now. Look at this one. This one's got 935 likes. Okay. 52 comments and 96 shares. So that looks pretty popular. It looks like it's a carousel ad. Okay. Don't know what that is. It's not interesting me. This one here, only a few hours left. You get three shirts here. It's got 399 likes, 150 comments. Just look through and see what all I find for a shirt. 1.2000 here. And as you scroll, it'll populate more. You can see it doing that. You know, what's funny is like this one looks so professional. But if you look at it, it's got no likes, no comments, and no shares. So just because somebody did a really cool ad, doesn't mean that it works. Now, this one here looks like it worked really well. 7.1000 likes. Excuse me. 386 comments and 67 shares. So let's do a couple of things here. First, we're going to show the analytics. Excuse me. We're going to look at the original post. So this is going to take me over to Facebook. And I can see the actual poster. Now this one here, ah, it's in a different language. Okay. So we probably don't want that one because we're trying to find English ones. So I'm going to go ahead and close that. Okay. So let me just scroll down and see what else I see that looks cool. All righty. This one here. So this is a pretty cool one right here. This has got 165 likes. Let's look at the original ad. Okay. And there's the original ad right there. And it's a video, and it shows all the different colors of the shirt, which is kind of cool. It's got 177 likes, three comments, 20 shares. And this is really basic. Look at this. All they've done here is to take a shirt and take four or five photos, make a scrolling video out of it, and they put three lines here. So it's not a lot of work put into this one here. All right. So let me look a little bit more. I like this one. 5,000. Okay. Now this is something, this is something I'm going to get into here. So the man cannot survive on wine alone. He also needs a dog. So let's look at the original ad. Now this one here, look at this. Once again, everybody thinks they're going to be a big copywriter and know how to do all this stuff. But really there's not much to put into this here. If you look at this, I can see a lovely shirt for dog lovers. That's it. Now here's something interesting that works very well. It's combining two niches. This makes this very targeted and people love to wear shirts like this. If you put a t-shirt here, it says a man loves a dog.  A man cannot survive on wine alone. He also needs a dog. This says I'm a wine lover who has a dog. Anytime you combine two niches like this, it really works well. So that's something you want to keep in mind. Now let's actually click on the link and see the page. Okay. So life is better with dogs around. This whole thing here, this is tea all season. So this is a store somebody built on a print on demand company. And they've got all these shirts with dogs. It looks like they got beer. They got wine. Beer and wine seems like a big theme here. But it's all about dogs to all my haters. That's kind of cute right there. A woman cannot survive on coffee alone. She also needs a dog. So they've done all kinds of variations of that. And it's a print on demand store. So they have no inventory whatsoever. This is definitely something you can do. As a matter of fact, you could do t-shirts similar to theirs. And you can go in some of these platforms and search and find the most popular ones. I'm going to go ahead and close that though. But there's a good idea right there. Okay. So we found one good idea. All right. So listen to see what else we've got here. Oh my goodness. This one here has got 6.9,603 comments and 1,200 shares. Let's look at the original ad. Now once again, see what they've done here? They've combined two things. Music and cats. A lovely shirt for cat lovers. So it's by iHeartMyCat. Let's take a look at it. Store here, order here. So they put two links in here, but we're going to go with the order one first. 4,295 for the sweatshirt. They are making some money on this. And this is TL Season once again. Same print on demand store. Now something else we can do here is right here. It says show analytics. So we can click on that. And what's that's going to do is that's going to show me all the analytics about that particular item. So it's got the basic information here. Okay. When it was last seen, which is a 27 post date. It's got redirects if it had any, outgoing links if it had any and country list if it had any. It doesn't. So there's not a lot of analytics on this particular one here, but tells me a little bit more about it. Let's see what else we can find in here. Okay. And we're looking at these high like, high end demand type things. Now let's pick one more here. This looks like a good one here. What is this one? Looks like a little video they ran. Create a custom shirt size. It's fast, easy, and you'll look and feel better. Okay. All right. So it's got a little video that plays. Check that out. They're showing all the options here. How tall are you? What do you weigh? Put your waistband size. This is definitely custom shirt. And obviously they make you custom shirt. That's pretty cool stuff. Get started. So we can go to proper cloth here, which is who did that add. And when we get a proper cloth, let's see what happens. Create your own size right now. So this is, you know, this is really kind of sending them to the store. However, you know, we like to send them to the exact product, but this is a pretty big company in this proper cloth. So they must be doing well. All right. Now, something else we can do right now. We are looking at all these different ads on Facebook. Let's switch over at the top. You'll notice these tabs. Let's go to YouTube and see what we find. Now, these are all YouTube ads, which is pretty cool. Let's see what we can find here on YouTube ads.  But let's just take a look here. And you got to be careful because this is like this one here is about making a website. We may want to put, let's change this here to, let's get a term that probably would work on YouTube, make money online. Understand people go to YouTube to learn how to do stuff. So making money online may be something. Let's see what we've got. Yes, bingo, make money online. We found a lot here. Let me just scroll and see if more are going to populate. Yes, yes, yes, there's tons. Because a lot of people go to YouTube to try to learn the skill, which is, you know, a pretty good skill, right? That's what I do is make money online. This one here says one legit way, but I don't see any likes. Now, they may have this stuff disabled, I don't know. This one here is skill boost. Earn $30 an hour with your phone, work from home jobs. It's got 560. Let's go ahead and look at the original one. It's going to take us to YouTube. And we'll see what that ad is and what they're selling. We're going to get a little volume up here, guys. Hey, guys, this is Shownu Cheney. You are watching Skill Boost. We're going to come to another video. In this video, I'm going to show you how you can earn extra $30 an hour just working from your home. So let's get started. But before I go into the video, if you don't subscribe to our channel, So this looks like an Indian gentleman selling something about making money at home, but it's really an ad. So he's made it, let me turn this off. He's made it look like an educational video, but I promise at the end, which we'll skip to it, he's going to try to get us to opt in in order to do something. Let's take a look. I have to get marketing and so many other good stuff. So if you want to learn how to make money online, don't forget to subscribe to our channel, Skill Boost by pressing the red button right below this video. And also don't forget to press that bell icon to get all of our video introduction. So that's it for today guys. I'm going to see you guys on our next exciting video. Still then, take care. Now he says it's an exciting video. I was not that excited. However, he does have 52,828 views, which tells me he's been running this ad for a while. He's also got 8.9,000 subscribers. Now what he's trying to get you to do, let's see under click more. Here's the $30 an hour thing. Let's see here. He's trying to get you to do this click here. So let's click and see what happens. Free how to stay at home mom's stole on the easiest copied way to generate daily cash flow you've ever seen. Get instant access. Now I promise you he's going to ask for my email. What do you know? He asked for my email. So this is a standard. It looks like click funnels type page where you got to pop up, they put in the email and then the rest of it, you can go ahead and get instant access. So we'll just put a test email at yahoo.com. Now if he's emailing this to me, obviously I won't get it. But if he's letting me have it in the next page, then of course I can get it. So let's take a look and see what happens. I do not want to get on his email list. Okay, so stay at home mom stumbles on the easiest copy. He is going to try to sell me something in this video, and he probably has an opt-in pop up here at some point on the video. Hi, let me introduce you. Let me stump that noise. But that's what he's doing here. So if you wanted to copy something similar, now I just, I hovered Alf the page because he knew I was going to close it. He's got a blocker, excuse me. He's got a pop up right here that is an exit intent pop up. So when somebody takes their cursor and goes off the page, this will pop up. This can be done in almost any of the click funnels or cards for any of those things. You do want to be careful though, because some of these platforms like Facebook, this allows these pop ups.  Okay, so he's sitting at instant access. He's already promised me that twice, and I have not gotten instant access to anything. All he's done is got my email twice. He's using infusion soft. You can see that up here. So he's got this boot camp thing that he's trying to get you to opt in for. So I've opted in twice and haven't gotten anything. And then he wants my credit card information here. Does it say what he's charging? That's interesting. Oh, order some total a dollar. So he's going to charge me a dollar then upsell me to something else. I mean, that's just all that's going on here. So I'm going to go ahead and eggs out of this, and I'm going to show you how this works and the process that people go through in these ads. Let's go back to the ads again and see what other ad we can find in here that is interesting. Now, these kind of look interesting where I just see the video. And what's interesting also is you can see the tags they used. It shows the tags they use on the video. Now, if you're doing an ad that is going to be unlisted, which most ads are, there's no point in putting these tags, because obviously they can't search for them. They're unlisted. So like this person here put tons of tags here, and they're not necessary. And as you see, she's only got four likes on this. So this is not very popular. All right, let me just look through here. Let's get 244. This one here is interesting. Stop working so hard every day. Do this instead. And let's look at the original ad here. Okay, 872 likes. I do want to see this ad here, because this one here is doing well. An ad on top of an ad here. Okay guys, so many of you guys are probably hustling. You're hustling so hard.  That's interesting. You can do that, or instead of working so hard, you could do these three things instead. So without being said, let's get over that after the intro. This is Mike Vestil, and he is an online marketer. I'm going to go up him. So he's trying to show you his great lifestyle here. Okay, enough of that. Let's see if we can get to this message. Okay guys, so many of you guys are getting started in business here. Like, oh man, if I just grind 18 hours a day, why aren't I thinking of any money? Let me stop this. And it looks like this is what he's trying to get you to do. He's got a free mastermind group here, financial freedom resources here, and 373 profitable niches revealed. So what he's done, let me click this, see what he's got down here. Join the Facebook group. All right, he's got all of his links and links to more videos and all that. What he's trying to get you to do is opt in. Let's take a look and see if that's an opt in. Oh, that's his group. Excuse me. So I clicked on the wrong thing here. So let me go back to the video. He's got resources here. One of these will be an opt in. I can promise you. Start here. Yeah, then he's got the stuff here. Interesting. Teach me how. So this is really going to his own page. And he's got a bunch of links in here. He's got some affiliate stuff stuck in here. He's trying to make money off affiliate stuff. Interesting. All right, let's get out of this. And the thing is, you know, this is, this is just all research. You're going to have to do to figure out what works. Three, three hundred seventy three profitable niches. Let's check that out. He's got a lot of call to actions in here. I would stick to one or two, but this one here. Okay. Here's your opt in one reserve my seat. Now this is probably going to go to a webinar jam form. All right. So we'll pick a date. So the way these webinars work is you can set it to where they can like almost immediately watch it. Like right now it is 1040 and he's got it set at 1045. There has to be one. Now the reason is because he had that software will say, do you want to let him watch in five minutes? And then he gives you two other dates for the same day because he's figuring out what if they can't do it now, maybe they can do it here, here. So I'm going to pick that day. And it's probably going to ask for my email. There it is. And this does look like a webinar jam form that he's put on his page. So I could put my name and all that stuff in there. And then it's going to show an opt in. We don't want to put my real name in there. Mike and we'll put test email at Yahoo.com reserve my seat. Reserving your seat. Okay. Your seat has been reserved. Now he's got a little video that welcomes you here. He's got the link for the webinar. This is all generated through webinar jam. We use webinar jam too. Then he's got a little information about the webinar. So he always has this webinar going. So that's another example of how somebody's selling something on YouTube. And you can do the same thing. You really can. I mean, it's not that hard. I just don't understand these people putting all these tags in here if these are ads. This is actually a friend of mine. This is John Fristani right here. And though it doesn't show you as likes and all this other stuff, I would bet this is a really great video. I know him pretty well. It doesn't have the original, which is interesting. Let me click here and see if I can get to it. John Fristani, and this is your invitation to join a webinar that I'm hosting on how to create a new internet business from scratch. So you're doing a webinar. And he'll have some type of opt in here. There it is. So it's a broken link. So that ad may not be good anymore. But he does a great job. Matter of fact, he'll be at a meeting that I'm going to next month. So we'll share some ideas. But as you can see, this really allows you like, oh my goodness, this is $1.6 million. I have to look at one more when I see stuff like that. Get all my notifications. Once you run your own online business, but don't know where to start, you don't have to sell. Okay, so we know what that is. That is, well, yeah, it's a burlary right there. It's hooking up with AliExpress to drop shipping. Right? As you see, there's just so many examples in here. And don't let it bother you if there's no like, shares, comments, because sometimes people turn that off. Like this one here has $27,000. I know of this person, Dan Lott. And you can go to show original. The video is not available. The video is private. So he's turned off that ad as what's happened there. Here's Russell Brunson runs a ton of ads. We'll look at his ad here. So he does a lot of videos that look like it's not an ad. You know, he just grabs his camera. So if you think you've got to have like fancy cameras, watch this.  Actually, I'm just trying to flip this around so you guys can all see a little better. I love how he pretends not to know how to use his phone. All right. So this is 30 days. He's suddenly losing everything. He's that guy. And he was, that's a different person. And what's, what? Okay, I'm going to tell you guys what it's all about. It's a 10 minute video. But first, I got to tell you a backstory about all these amazing humans and people and what we're doing. Now, this is the creator of ClickFunnels. Right there, Russell Brunson. ClickFunnels. And what he's doing is trying to get you to sign up for ClickFunnels. I promise that videos are. All right, guys, we have a little glitch here. So let me get back to my PowerPoint. Sorry about that. That does happen every now and then. In fact, it happens a lot on PowerPoint. I don't know why, but let me get back to it. And we will be back there in just a second. There we go. There we go. Let me get to play, but let me get down to that particular slide. When you're live, this stuff happens. It just happens. All right. So where is that? There it is. Okay. Got it. Make sure, guys, type in there if you can hear me. I want to make sure we didn't lose our sound. Sometimes when that stuff happens, you lose sound. Jessica, can you see anybody typing in there today? Not yet, but there's a delay. Type in there if you can still hear me, guys. I want to make sure that you can still hear me before I finish off this video. Hello, hello. Can you hear me? Type in that comment section, guys. Okay. Yeah. Somebody says they can't. Okay. Just making sure. Just making sure. Okay. Let me find out where I was at on this. I was looking at this Russell Brunson thing, I think. There we go. Get to go to, yeah. There's the funnels emblem of ClickFunnels. He's doing is trying to get you to sign up for ClickFunnels. I promise that's what all of his videos are. So he's got this 30days.com start. And I promise you that's like a get started on ClickFunnels thing. What do you do? Okay. So this is going to be another sales video. Imagine this. She's selling these. And then right here, he's going to have a training and he's putting the date in here. He's going to be doing this training. The problem is you at the end of the training, he's going to get you to sign up for ClickFunnels because that's what he does. So you put your email there and you get to go to, yeah, there's a ClickFunnels emblem and everything. So he's selling you ClickFunnels subscription. You're going to opt in for 30 days for free or whatever. And then you're going to pay $97 a month or $297 or whatever it is. So that's how he's running his ads. But the point, the point is, check this out. You can see successful ads. See what they're doing. You can opt in, you can attend their stuff, you can do everything and you can figure out this ad thing without trying to figure out what works. Pretty cool stuff. All right. Let's move on with the rest of the training. Okay, guys. What do you think of that? That's pretty cool stuff, isn't it? How you can actually go in there and look at other people's ads and basically do the same thing. Now, when you're doing this and when you're searching, you're not going to get the software. It's not expensive either. It doesn't cost much money, but make sure you put quotation marks around what you're searching for. Because if you don't, it won't work. I figured that out the hard way. Additionally, you want to think about what somebody would be searching for in one of these ads. Like if you notice I put how to make money online because people did videos on that. So if you're trying to sell shirts with cats on them, you wouldn't put shirts with cats. You wouldn't put that type in there. I love cats or this is a cool cat or something like that because that's probably what they're optimized for in the title. You know, you got to think of it that way. And if you do that, you're going to find the top ads. And what I like to do is I like to search it by longest running ad. If you search it by longest running ad, then of course you're going to find the ads that are successful because it ran, right? Okay. So I've invited, as I always do, a few choice people to the Inner Circle call today. And I want you to check your email starting this evening. I'm doing a Labor Day special on the Inner Circle, but you got to check your email. There's a special link to do it. Okay.  It's really, really inexpensive. You're going to get access to my current courses. You're going to get private Facebook groups, bi-weekly coaching calls, yearly or more masterminds in San Diego. Of course, the relationships and networking, which is priceless. Okay. You're also going to get insight into the high level masterminds. I'll be at one next month and I'll be bringing back that information and sharing it with my Inner Circle. So those people get access to all that information. Like, you know, the guy you saw there, John Crestani, I'll be talking to him and I'll say, what are you doing? What's working for you? What's, you know, what's happening? And then I'll bring it back to you guys and you have access to that. And that stuff is invaluable, really, to know exactly what to do. Because that's where people really get tripped up, is knowing what to do. In addition to that, as I hit my spacebar there, oh, I went back one, excuse me. Excuse me. There we go. You're 12 times more likely to succeed as a member of something like our Inner Circle because you're going to have access to this information. You're going to have tons of training videos. You're going to have access to my courses. You're going to get free softwares. And it's all worth like $46,000. But I will tell you, wait till you get the email today. Don't go to that innercircle.com forward slash enroll. Wait till you get the email today. Really important because that email is going to give you some special stuff.  If you need help with your ads, we'll help you with that. Your landing pages, your websites, pickin' products, we'll help you with that. We'll help you with pricing, your funnels.  You can submit them. You can do stuff.  Look at your emails, subject lines, headlines, any ideas you may have. If you're getting frustrated with something, something's not working, you can talk to us about that. We'll help you. If you're having failures and successes, we love to see both of those because failures lead to successes. That's how that works. And I'm going to post in just a second in that comment section, that video of Shawn Stevenson because if you watch this video guys, and it's an hour long, I'm going to tell you right up front, it's an hour long. But if you watch that video, you're going to be motivated to do something today. I promise you, I promise you. If you want to get Cartra, which is probably the best software in the world for selling stuff online, I would suggest you go to bit.ly. Ford slash Cartra lowercase dash uppercase jr. You can get a trial for $1. There's like things that eight different softwares do all in one. You don't have to have an email provider or funnel maker or landing page maker or any of that. It's all made in a membership. Everything, it's all made in there. So let's do a few questions. I know Jessica has been gathering them. What you want to do in that comment section, if you have a question about anything we went over today, or just marketing in general, I don't mind that either. You can just put it in the comment section and Jessica will read off your questions. Nobody's going to see your questions. I'd like to have your name there. So we can say, hey, Bob asked this, Tommy asked this. But whatever the question is, don't think that your question is dumb. There's no such thing as a dumb question. It's just something you don't know. You didn't pop out of the womb knowing everything. Matter of fact, you know a whole lot more than you did then, right? So no questions dumb. Feel free to ask it. This is your opportunity to get some of those questions answered. So Jessica, I'm going to turn over to you now. I know she's going to read off a couple of these. If you would just tell me who they're from, where they're from and who the person's name and where they're from and the actual question. If you don't mind. Okay guys. So post where you're from with your questions. Yeah. Yeah. Stick that in there. We like to know that. Let's see boy. And I'll just keep talking until she finds something. Okay. So I see one over here from looks like Johnny and Virginia Springfield, Virginia. And he's asking, you know, can you get a special deal on that software? I don't know. I don't really know what they got going on now. If you just go in, you know, Google search it, you'll find that software. It's the only one out there. Add spy something. So as by software, you can probably search it by that. So I don't know what their deals are right now. Somebody else is asking, looks like Margaret's asking in Pensacola, will it work on Instagram? The answer is yes. It does work on Instagram also. Instagram being part of Facebook. You can definitely use it on Instagram. Let's see. Eric, I think it's Eric. I can't quite spell with the K, but Eric is also asking about the inner circle and what the deal is on that. Basically on the inner circle, Eric, you're going to get $46,382 with the software for free, not software, excuse me, software and training for free. And you pay a small monthly fee, but I would tell you to wait until you get the email this weekend. We're doing a Labor Day special on the inner circle to let some people in. If you're not on my mailing list, you need to put your email in the comment section now. But I would doubt if you're not on my email list because you're at this call. So you had to have gotten a link somehow to get to this call, so you're probably on it. But yeah, so that's all you got to do. Wait till this weekend. Wait till this weekend. You're going to get several emails this weekend on that. Jessica, do you have any questions on your side? Yeah, David in Michigan is asking about, he said you, when you were talking about the ads, you said they wouldn't be random if they didn't work. And he wants to know what, what do you mean by they, do they work? So do they convert? Do they like? Well, when I say work, what I mean by that, David is, it's achieving their goal. So, you know, your goals can be varied. Your goals can be to sell a shirt. Your goals could be to get people to sign up for your webinar. Your goals could be to get people to download something. Your goals could be to get people to join your membership. And, you know, if, you know, your goal is to do one of those things and people are doing that thing, then obviously you're going to keep running the ad.  So if you sort the actual ads by how long they've run, you're going to get the ones that are working for people, because why? They keep doing it. They're not going to keep doing it if it doesn't work. So that, that's what I mean by that. And you can also look at views and all that kind of stuff too. And I don't really care about views.  That wants to know if you have ever run an ad campaign that didn't work well. Yes, most definitely, probably about 80%. The way ads work, you know, everybody has the wrong impression of ads. People think I'm going to do an ad and I'm going to put it up and it's going to work or it's not going to work. And that's not what you do. What you do is you do an ad or two or three and you send it out to 10 or 12 different audiences and you do it four or five different ways and out of that multitude of 20, 30, 40 ads, you're going to find a few that work and most that don't. And that's how it is. That's how it is advertising online. But the cool thing is you don't have to spend thousands of dollars to do it. You know, with a couple hundred bucks, you can figure out which ones work and find a good one. Now you say, well, I've always been 200 bucks to find out that 80% of them don't work. Well, you're going to find the 20% that do and then you take your money and put it behind those and you're way going to make up for your 200 bucks. That's how you advertise online. That's how it's done. You know, that is the method. Aaron is in Georgia and he says that you in other videos have talked about creating content like blogs and things like that. How does that work in with an advertising campaign?  And what I mean by that is if you give people good content and they like it, they're going to come back and then when you got something you want to sell, they're going to buy it for me. It's really quite simple. That's how it's done on the Internet. Everybody needs to be a content provider at this point.   So, you know, I do these calls and I invite people who are not members every now and then and if you're one of those people check out the inner circle because you're going to get a whole lot more there than just this call. So we're running probably to the end, now, Jessica. We're getting ready to go hit lunch. I really appreciate you guys showing up. Oh, yeah, Jessica, will you post the link to Sean Stevenson's video? Man, you're going to thank me for this video. Now, this is a video he did nine years ago. But he was, I mean, up until a few days ago, I saw him online and he was talking and everything was fine. But unfortunately, you know, when he was born, he actually wasn't supposed to live past really the day he was born because he had broken bones as he was birthed and over the first 18 years of his life, he had over 200 broken bones. So he went through a lot of stuff and yet he succeeded in life and really that's kind of his story. If you watch this video, it's really inspiring and, you know, if you think you have problems or you think you got issues, just check out Sean Stevenson's video. I mean, I really implore you to do that. It will make you feel better at the end of it and it's not going to make you feel good during it. I can tell you that because you're going to feel sorry for him. But that's not what he wanted and that wasn't his goal. So check out that video and I posted a couple of pictures in the group of Sean and I and the little blurb that his wife wrote. And I thought one thing that was really cool is, you know, when talking about his disease, she said to him at the very end, I'm really sorry this happened to you and he said it didn't happen to me. It happened for me. He looked at it as a gift. So check out his stuff, guys and check out his channel. Sean Stevenson's got a great channel on Facebook, on YouTube and there's tons and tons of videos that he did over the years. Really worth watching, so check that out. Jessica, do you have any words for anybody at the end of our call today? Oh goodness. You know what, if you guys have Monday off because it's a holiday, I would suggest you take JR up on his offer when he emails you this weekend. If you're not already a member of the Inner Circle and take your Monday instead of just watching TV or drinking beer. Yeah, and start going through. Start going through the Inner Circle, yeah. That's a great idea. And guys, I'm going to let you steal it this weekend. So be on the lookout for the emails. You have to be on my email list. This is unadvertised. Nobody else is going to see this. So guys, jump on it when you see it. Well, you're going to want to. I'm going to tell you, you're going to want to. It's an incredible deal that we're doing this weekend, this weekend only. And I'm not sure if we're going to end it Sunday night or Monday night, but it will be ending this weekend. And it's a true end. It's not like I'm saying it's going to end and it will be there next week. It will not. So you want to grab it while you can and grab that information and get your business going. I really appreciate you guys listening. We will talk to you real soon. Check me out on Facebook. We're going to be going to have a nice lunch. Actually, it's at a restaurant that I last ate at when I was 10 years old. And they brought it back. It was it actually got started in 1954. Some interesting stuff about that restaurant. And it's nothing fancy. You don't have to always eat fancy, right? Sometimes just a little taco stands nice. Sometimes a burger is nice. So anyhow, we're going to go check it out. I'll talk to you guys real soon. And I will talk to you real soon. And I'll see you in the inner circle.

I'm from Kirkland or Seattle, Washington. I was manifesting all week. I knew what my battle was. I knew that it wasn't going to be remedied by pills or medication or anything else that I knew that I needed deliverance from something that was demonic from my family, my family line. I'm going to Kirk! How? My mom and dad come from a line of Buddhism, Shamanism, Taoism and I knew those were some of the things that I was dealing with so I came here with hope and faith understanding that I would be set free. All the unclean spirits left and the things that were tormenting me left my body, left my mind and tortured my mind, the spirit of death and suicide and all these unclean, ugly things that were manifesting in my house, ruining my relationships. Yeah, I'm free. Hey guys, thank you for watching this testimony. If you or anybody that you know is interested in deliverance we have a few opportunities here at Hungry Gen. We have our monthly digital deliverances. We also have monthly prayer lines that happen every last Sunday of the month and we host our yearly race to deliver conferences all over the USA.

Crucial Conversations Drivers for Effective Leadership The team of the ongoing 76 United Nations General Assembly is restoring hope in a post-pandemic world, extrapolates on the necessity of relevant conversations in global leadership. In order to promote leadership and governance, there is a need for a common ground for agreements between class, race, and tribe for effective leadership. Being able to bring up issues and finding sustainable solutions to enhance peace and productivity should be the core for excellent leadership. That is, where conversations play a huge role. For efficacy and delivery, there are five elements of effective conversations. We have dialogue, clarity of purpose, fact, zero sentiments, open-mindedness, and agreements. Some of these conversations are largely dependent on structures and intent of the parties involved. Leadership without effective conversation is bound to be chaotic and biased in its administration. There is a rising need to embrace inclusiveness, to promote progress, and to achieve these avenues for effective communication must be created. Despite its effectiveness, they are unending examples of field leadership, which happened as a result of poor communication and zero dialogue. When leaders across the globe understand the role of conversations play in good governance, then there will be a decline in field delivery of quality leadership. Currently, in Nigeria, there have been public outcry for the need of a national dialogue and possible referendum. This is evident from the Sorosuke Saga to the need for constitutional review and to save the termination of nationals. These I know with different from the National Reform Confab under the Ulushago Obasanjone led administration, the rebrand Nigeria under the Musayaradual led administration, and the National Conference under the Kudlob Jonathan led administration. As important as a national conversation is, it also could amount to little or no positive effect if the following are not put into consideration. Inclusiveness. For stakeholders with respect to tribal affiliation, youths, women, industry experts, civil society organizations should participate. Empathy. Being intentional. No Nigerian is more Nigerian than any other Nigerian. Being intentional and about understanding the peculiarities of other different stakeholders. A democratic approach in decision making. It is important to note that the willingness of the government, citizens and other stakeholders to take actions on agreed strategies or ideas during the course of a national dialogue is imperative for effective leadership and national development. Also it is the collective responsibility of the government and all stakeholders to be willing for a continuous dialogue for effective leadership in different phases of a national development. Well. I feel like I don't want to talk about that. You know all kinds of crucial conversations, leadership and in my mind, my mind was going in the space of what I, by the time I went, I said, oh, okay, it's going political. I'm going to let's kind of do it back first. To our political. Yes. If all the political are scrutinizing, wait for Kulela to come up, isn't he yesterday? When you said crucial conversation, what came to mind was, can anybody engage you in a conversation if he doesn't know you or if he doesn't understand you, if you don't understand yourself? So I think when we want to even talk about conversation first of all, the thing is what are we talking about? You know a lot of people talk, but they are not communicating because you are saying A, you're saying B and you're both off and both of you are making good points, but you're just not in sync. And I think when it comes to conversation in politics, we need to, when you're talking and someone is not listening, you need to look for a way to get the person's attention. And that is what we are struggling to do as a people. I'm being very careful with words because of where I'm going. Now, what am I saying? In, we've heard issues in Nigeria where people say, if it was this tribe that spoke, you would have responded. For both the government in power and even government out of power, we speak about the Niger Delta, we speak about the North. They have a way of demanding what they want, that is known to them. And every government, whether you are their tribe man or not, you respect that about them. So as a people, if you want to hear from a government, and we want them to do what we want, we must look for that key, that conversation key, the key to that conversation room that we can open and close at every time. It's not necessarily violence, but we must look for something. And one of the easiest ways is to get the right people in power because if you participate and you know that if I don't do the right thing, he will easily call me back, then you will have his ears. But that takes the assumption that the system is set up where they work for the populace, right? Rather than they think we as a populace owe them.  No. They work for us.  They don't work for us. You know why? Because we expect, for example, a local government chairman to spend so much on us before he even gets into power. We take so much from everybody. I mean, someone was telling me just yesterday about a king, someone has been made a king and he has spent tens of millions of Naira before he could become a king. And now there's even the, his kinship has been challenged because another family says his judge is right and blah, blah, blah. So I asked the process, I said, okay, then later we'll say the kings are going to government. The money is paying to becoming a king. Do you think you let that go? He needs to look for the money. Who did he give the money to? Some of us. So as much, and that's what we're talking about, you know, no matter what you say, guy, I paid you. I paid you. I paid your leaders. All right. All right. So short sighted. So short sighted. That's, that's quite, before you, before you... Well, which came first? It's a chicken and egg thing. That's true. That's true. The conversation is there. The conversation is there. Which is the egg? Okay. Actually, there's what we call clarity and empathy in conversation, you know, I'm not going to repeat or reiterate what's one of our elder statesmen in Nigeria said that is constantly public uproar as regards to 2023 elections. So how can we as leaders or young persons or as a nation encourage empathy and open-minded conversation? I think, let me, Joyce will be in a very good position as you guys are the conversation experts. Thank you. The word is empathic. Yes. Where we care about what the other person thinks, feels, and we can try to see things from their point of view until we get there, leadership in itself will not be effective. I am partisan. I belong to a political party, but I don't believe in opposition. You know why? The word in itself is divisive.  It's difficult for you to listen to me because I have created conscious resistance. So I would rather speak to you with empathy, knowing that we want the same thing. A better nation, a better country, better processes. So the question goes back to what is your intention, which you mentioned in your advocacy? What is the intention of the communication in the first place? What is the intention of the leadership? Is it to just fulfill a long time or long term dream of achieving a political office or to actually bring healing to the land? Intention in my opinion is all. When the intention is right, we will find ways to make it happen effectively. When the intention is wrong, everything will go bad. I think intention is for many leaders questionable. That is a very powerful one. What is the intention of the person who wants a leader? Is it because the person is your client, is it because the person can have access to the person? Yes. Intention of all of us, the followership of leadership, all of us, what is our intention? Why do we vote? Why don't we vote? Intention. Why don't we vote? That's it. I really do think that for me on this one, I have very, what I would simply say is that it is true. We do need to have crucial conversations to really drive effective leadership in Nigeria. We need help. We need to be able to have those conversations in corridors of power and we need to have people who have the wherewithal to be able to discuss and bring solutions or ideas to the table. And so maybe we're already starting that by having this kind of advocacy coming up and then hopefully they're going to listen and we're going to have change. Right. Thank you very much. It's important we have conversations inspired and inspired solution-driven conversations in particular for national development that would deal also with collective peace, unity and groups. Up next, we're having 20 to wrap up the show.


Who's gonna throw the most interceptions in the NFL this season taking a look at some of the guys on here I think most of these guys are safe Daniel Jones is enticing But if it was turnovers including fumbles, I do it, but only picks not gonna be him It's got to be someone that's not hurt and plays a lot of games because it's total interceptions So it's not gonna be wence although I would like him otherwise I think a couple of guys that are not on here that would be good are Matt Ryan and Drew lock But I'm gonna go with Big Ben him and their offense are getting worse.
