I'm from Moodle HQ, and you'll know Moodle from the learning platform. Can you have a quick show of hands if you use Moodle or have done in the past? That's everyone in the room, thank you very much. Moodle is for ubiquitous, over 100 million of users worldwide, but I'm not here to talk to you about the learning platform today. I'm here to talk to you about something new and I want to kind of just riff off something that Amber did yesterday. I tried my best to try and represent my career history in the same way that Amber had done, but she must have some kind of advanced slide skills because I couldn't seem to be able to do it as kind of cleanly as she did. So I resorted to a list and I wanted to just situate what I'm doing in terms of my own practice, which has been a theme of this conference, but also just to echo what Amber said yesterday in terms of coming to learning technology, not from computer science or technical background, but instead especially through trying to understand humans and society. So my background is philosophy and history. I was a history teacher. I also trained staff on using technology. I was a senior leader in schools. And then I went to work for Jisk and Jisk have a heavy presence here at Alt C. And I worked as a researcher analyst around OER, around mobile learning, and around digital literacies, which was a subject of my doctoral thesis. From there, I went to work for the Missile Foundation and you probably know them best through Firefox, the web browser. I worked on open badges. I was on the open badges team from 2012 and I also worked as their web literacy lead. And then since then I've been a consultant. I set up a co-op with some people who I used to work with at Missile and also Brian Mathers, who you've seen some of his images already. You'll see some more in this presentation. I know he's watching this live stream. So hi Brian. And also since the start of this year, four days a week, I'm now leading the project that I want to talk about now, which is MoodleNet. I'm still doing consultancy and cooperating as well. I think it's important to do lots of different things because it keeps you fresh. Okay. So the reason I joined Moodle, the reason that I decided to kind of not do as much consultancy, but to join Moodle was because of Moodle's mission in the world. And Moodle exists to empower educators. As I've already mentioned, there's lots and lots of people who use Moodle worldwide. And they're all using Moodle slightly differently in different contexts. And that's one of the wonderful things about what Moodle provides. Just a quick explanation of how Moodle makes its money, if you didn't know. Moodle, like Catalyst, who's a partner of Moodle, Moodle has a number, lots of Moodle partners worldwide, and we get 10% of the revenue from their Moodle generating products and services. And also we now have some shareholders, not venture capitalists, but people who are interested in the long term into kind of societal change and empowering educators. Just in case you're wondering where Moodle gets its money from. We're not like other organisations in that respect. The other thing, just to flag up before we begin, is that just like alt, Moodle believes in openness. All of the stuff that we do is open source, which means that you can take that and run it for your own purposes without having to be told what to do with it. You can use it for your own purposes, and we don't tell you how to use our products. And the same is false, and we believe in working openly and transparently on everything we do, and that's how you can get involved in this project. So if you've got a device in front of you, feel free to go to this link now. This is the canonical URL for the MoodleNet project, Moodle.com forward slash MoodleNet, and everything that you need will be linked to from there. And I'll make sure that the link to these slides is on there after I've finished talking. So MoodleNet, before I get into what it is, I just want to zoom out and kind of situate it within kind of the wider world, because I think we need to look up from what we're doing in learning technology and think about how it affects our world. If we're trying to empower educators to change our world, well, what are those things that need changing? You'll be familiar, I'm sure, your university or institution is probably already talking about the global goals for sustainable development. Obviously, Moodle wants to contribute towards goal number four around quality education. But I think MoodleNet, especially, as I come to tell you a bit more about, is focused on number 11 as well around sustainable cities and communities. Moodle, the learning platform, has been around for the last 16 years, and isn't going away anytime soon. And the same with MoodleNet, it's going to be around for a long time. So we're not just trying something out and then going to pull it. This is something which we're in for the long haul because we're trying to build a place where communities can thrive. Now, when Martin Dujarmus, who's founder and CEO of Moodle, asked me if I'd like to lead this project, there were so many things that he was talking about with MoodleNet. And I asked Brian to try and capture some of these. You can see some of them here in terms of having like a dashboard with news coming in from trusted sources about having a narrative of professional developments. You're linking to your portfolio, but like Seamold. Private conversations, public conversations, being able to find people in your locality that you can meet up with. It's about supporting other people through crowdsourcing and with your own money and OER and all of this kind of stuff. So we have to start somewhere with all of this. We're going to try and build all of it eventually, but we have to start somewhere in a place that I decided after lots of research, after talking to people like Amber and researching and doing interviews with people, we decided to start with a resource-centric social network. And I'm going to explain what that means in due course, but it's basically about curating resources and sharing with other people. And as an educator, I feel that's something which is certainly intrinsic to my own practice. So if I had to describe it with words, I'd describe it as a social media platform for educators focused on professional development and open content, it's about sharing and learning to improve the quality of education and it's going to be integral part of the Moodle ecosystem, but even if you're not using Moodle as a learning platform, you can still use MoodleNet. It's going to be focused on all of the things that you come to expect from Moodle in terms of it being a private space if you want it to be, being ethical and transparent, obviously being open, being safe, we're not going to be doing shady business practices, and also the whole point of it is to connect educators worldwide to build stronger relationships around the world because Moodle is used in every country of the world and in every single language. So before I show you a quick video, an overview of where we've got to with kind of a prototype of Moodle, I want to explain some of the stuff that you're going to see in that video and why it exists. So as an educator, when you go looking for something for your course, you've got an intention and sometimes you know exactly what it is that you want to search for, you're being proactive in that regard. The trouble is, sometimes you don't always know what it is that you're looking for. I was at the OE Global Conference earlier this year where some Dutch librarians were doing some experimental work on how you can surface stuff to people who perhaps don't know the terms that they're looking for. I found this recently when I was trying to find a particular technical thing, and it turns out that it was called a faceted search, but it must have taken me a few days to figure out that that was the search term that I was looking for. Now, when I was doing my research and interviewing people, people said, well, one of the reasons I really like following other professionals in my sector on social networks is because it's like waiting for treasure to arrive. Every day I go on there and I find things that I wouldn't necessarily have been looking for but is absolutely relevant to my practice. So we're trying to build something that can be used both proactively because you know what you're looking for but also reactively because people within your network are sharing things that you wouldn't necessarily have looked for. So what would that look like in practice? Well, something like this where you have things which are surfaced from people that you're following, first of all, then from open education resource repositories and then from the open web. How this is going to work in the light of the EU copyright directive yesterday, we still have to figure out. So feel free to ask me questions about that later on. I'm going to show you, without further ado, some work that we did with a co-op called Outlandish in London three months ago. Martin Duke Yamers Fleur from Australia. It was the first day of work for our technical architect and we managed to produce in a week's sprint the following video which gives you a flavour of the kind of thing that we want MoodleNet to look like. There's no code behind this. This is one of those kind of mock-up prototypes, clickable prototypes that have been tested out by people in the Moodle community, like Jess Gramp and some other people who came there to help us test it out to give some feedback. So here we go. Just to say, I'm aware of the number of times I say certain words in this video and I'm thinking about creating a drinking game based on that. I just want to show you a demo of what we've been working on this week, too. And we've been designed to be here in London with Outlandish. Martin Duke Yamers Fleur in as well. So it is what we've been working on.  So here you are at Google and you're searching for teaching the Bolshevik Revolution. You get your search results. Here they are. All of them is MoodleNet. Great. Well, I already know what this is. So I'm going to go there and since last time MoodleNet has updated its privacy policy. So you'll need that in-depth. Click I agree. And then here we are at Bolshevik Revolution. Great. Or you can see this is a collection, a collection of resources. And it says, Finally, a good collection of multimedia resources about the Bolshevik Revolution from a worker's perspective. You can see that there's some contributors here. So it's a collection which is being made by people. Oh, great. I can add it to my MoodleNet so I can add this to my MoodleNet course. And I can also add my own resources collection that looks like. So let's have a look what's in it. GCC History, the Bolshevik Revolution. So this is a website, Active History of Cody UK that's got some resources, interactive exercises for GCC history. And you can see here that some people have commented, saying that there's a big tune that's in which really brings this to life. Great. So there's conversations and comments happening from some of my colleagues. What else is in here? Well, let's have a scroll down. Bolshevik Revolution in 10 minutes. What else is a YouTube video? Again, there's other people who are commenting on this. This is great. This is exactly what I want from my teaching. So loads of resources here on this related collection as well. Other things that I might find useful. This is fantastic. This is something which the Red Group has collected. So a community has curated this particular collection of resources. So let's find out more about the Red Group. This Renegade Group of Stockings has shared interest in all things relating to the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. Well, that sounds like a lot like me. So I'm going to join this community. I can do that because this isn't one where I have to apply. I can just join and sign up straight away. So here I am. I'm now a member of the Red Group. I can join in the discussions and I can start helping them to create resources. Excellent. OK, well, let's see what's going on. I'm going to go to my profile. Here we are. This is me, Jeremy. And I was added to MoodleNet by Andrea Leblanc. That's really my good friend Andrea. And I've started filling out my profile. I took an idea and I probably have my LinkedIn profile later on. You can see I'm now a member of three communities. I'm a history teacher. So I'm a member of these three groups. And I've started adding tags or interests, things that I'm interested in, so that MoodleNet can suggest things that I might be interested in. That's exactly what I want. So I can make sure I've got good resources and good people that I can lean on and I might be teaching a lot. So now I'm going to go to see what's been happening in the week that I've since I joined MoodleNet. So here's some updates. This is kind of a highly personalised feed of things which are useful to me. So I can see that Andrea is now also joined the red group. She must have seen that I joined it. There's new communities. People have added resources in there. Red gens accepted my request to join that red group. And my MoodleNet profile is 78% complete. So what I'm going to have to do is to make sure I complete that. I'm going to have a look at communities. I can also search. And here are my communities. A really educated and friendly focus place where I can find resources and have discussions of how I might teach and learn. So this prototype was built this week during this design split. I'm really interested, all of us at MoodleNet are interested in finding out what we think of this. It's just a start-up attempt and we're going to iterate towards it. So tell us what you think. Get in touch. At MoodleNet you are well for everything to do with MoodleNet. It's Moodle.com forward slash. So that's the kind of UX UI of what MoodleNet could look like. It's just our first cut. The idea is that there's collections which are curated by communities. That's the idea behind it. That's the hypothesis that we're testing. Now, behind all of that, I want to dig into it because as learning technologists we need to understand the technology which is underpinning all this. Has anyone heard of Mastodon or any kind of decentralized social network? Thank you, a few of you. So Mastodon is a bit like Twitter.  There are multiple instances. So, for example, I've been a member of one which is all about co-ops. Those are the ones about art. Other ones about LGBT rights, all that kind of stuff. So you can see people on your instance and what they're talking about, but also the wider network as well which means that you can move between them depending on your interests and depending on the kind of people you want to associate with. We're going to build something which is decentralized from MoodleNet, which is the hard option. It is not an easy thing to do, but we think it's the right thing to do because we want to build things which are empowering. We don't want to centralize everything on Moodle HQ. We want it to be like Moodle the learning platform where you can have power and control and authority and autonomy over what it is that you're doing, your learning technology. So this quotation talks about how decentralization is powerful because there's no single centralized authority instead each party or peer makes local autonomous decisions and then shares that information with other peers and providers. So the advantages of having this instead of having a single centralized system, the advantages of having a decentralized system is that we do get diverse contribution from all around the world who might have different use cases to what we've envisaged. It means that it's more efficient to make local decisions instead of trying to get everything pushed into a centralized product, and it also means that you can keep some things private within your institution without having to share everything with the entire network. So we allow in kind of private spaces. An example of that which I was talking to someone about earlier might be that you have access to resources as your institution which you don't have a license to share with the whole network but you certainly want everybody at your institution to have access to those resources which you'd be able to do within MoodleNet and then share other resources more publicly. Now, to dig even deeper into some of the technical stuff here, Mayor de Borneo, who is our technical architect based in Athens and Greece, he couldn't be here today but if you're interested in some of this on the development wiki, it does have a very deep dive into some of the programming languages we're using and some of the tech choices. But just to give you a flavor of that, if you imagine a spectrum between a fully decentralized system where every single pier is equal and a closed software as a service product like Twitter, we're somewhere in the middle because what we want to do is to have something which we need to rename. It's an API as a service which basically means we're providing a service to everybody within the network. So you set up your own version of MoodleNet, you're sharing information in your own instance but also across the entire network and we're providing services with that API around search so you can quickly and easily search across the network so that you can have nomadic identity so you can move around the network and still be the same person, have the same followers and also do privacy respecting contact lookup. Mail's already got a prototype of how you could upload your contacts, your address book without actually sharing the names and addresses and telephone numbers, you're sharing the hashes of them and then you can check to see if that person exists on the network. I can go into more detail about that in questions or probably afterwards if you're interested. Just quickly in terms of the technical architecture here just to point out that from a user's point of view they will not see this complexity. They will just see a very simple to use web app as you've seen some of the prototypes already. The web app will be the thing which we release in beta in January to a select group of testers and then we'll be developing a native app to be able to use via app stores and the back end all of these things here and all this diagram is available on the development wiki. Your organisation would take the code, develop it however you want and so long as you meet certain terms and conditions about code of conduct and also the way in which you have a robust code base you'll be able to connect to the API as a service. If some of that went over your head don't worry, it's not fundamental to understanding what MoodleNet is about. I haven't got time today to go through all of the other screencasts that we've done, some of the things we're putting out to the community for feedback. Some of them, which we've put out we've already kind of rejected as an idea so there's one here around creating an alias which we've already thought actually I don't think that's going to work very well because we've had some feedback from the community so if you're interested in this please do have a look at what we're doing and give us feedback, we can only make it as good as the feedback we get from you. One thing you might be particularly interested in if you are using Moodle is the sending collection to Moodle prototype that we've just had a look on the screencast here it shows how you would curate a collection with other people in MoodleNet and then send it into your Moodle course so you can use those resources. I talked at the start of this presentation about how Moodle is funded and one of the things we've been thinking about was how are we going to have a sustainable version of MoodleNet here. Obviously we work a lot through our partners so if you want to set up an instance of MoodleNet initially we'll probably go through partners but there's lots of things we could do some of them range from the sensible like referrals to Moodle Cloud or Moodle partners to the slightly crazy like equity crowdfunding or sponsored content we could do that I was over at the mountain moot in Montana earlier this year and they have Moodle box which is like an internal currency my son's playing Fortnite all the time with V-books we could do something like that we could do crypto currency for goodness sake but more likely are donations, referrals and membership at different levels so just to finish off we've done the research and planning we've done the design sprint and specification we've just kind of doing the prototype and testing at the moment and we're looking to launch a minimum viable product of MoodleNet in January 2019 and if you'd like to be part of the beta testing for that do let me know if you want to contribute do go to Moodle.com forward slash MoodleNet on the link to take to Changemap you won't probably have seen Changemap before because it's currently in beta within New Zealand based organisation if you've ever used an issue tracker before to figure out from a suggestion from the community all the way through to development it's like that but it's much more user friendly for colleagues who are less technical so I've got some FAQs which I can go through but I'm sure that you've got some questions so before I go through those I'm going to point you again to Moodle.com forward slash MoodleNet you can email me at anytime dogo at Moodle.com and I thank you for your attention thank you very much so we're going to stick this on the screen if you have a device in front of you and you'd rather not put up your hand you're very welcome to enter the ID 152788927 if you're watching this on the live stream you can do the same thing and I'm not looking at my Twitter feed at the moment but Nick I don't know if there's any on the old C thing you're very welcome to do that but first does anyone want to stick up their hand and ask any questions we've got a roaming mic over there I'm happy to answer any questions there's no stupid questions just my stupid answers we have one over here I guess one of my potential concerns not concerns but something to think about is how do we ensure that this gains enough momentum even the fact that it's open it should do that but I'm thinking of things like Joram and other sort of learning resource repositories in the past that you know haven't sort of continued to evolve and with the community for various reasons so I think for this a long-term impact it needs to reach that critical point and I'd just like to hear what your thoughts are on that no absolutely I was on the steering board for Joram when I was at Jisk and we have experiment with this in the past if you've ever been to Moodle.net if you go there now you can see that you can share entire courses now you have to formulate as a product manager which is effectively what I am in this role you have to formulate hypotheses based on the research that you do and also your own experience and that one of the hypotheses that I have is that educators sometimes want to download an entire course and look through what other people have done but mainly are looking for a resource for a specific part of the course and so what this will do is will allow educators to create collections of resources for a specific module or a specific day or event or whatever it is and some of them might actually be collections of courses or collections of plugins or collections of resources or whatever it is but the idea there is a community having a conversation to try and find the best resources for a particular thing so this isn't trying to just create a massive place I don't think we've got a problem around not having enough resources in the world I think we've got a problem around discovery which is why we spend time thinking of our proactive and reactive ways of discovering stuff I feel like social networks are great but are not geared up for educated discovery of resources in the way that this is now we'll rest answer all of your prayers in the first release no because we'll get some things wrong but that's why we need your feedback as a community to say well this is great but I really changed that and I would never use that but it's a good point thank you yes thank you could this function as a community of practice? absolutely so I didn't want to just drop people into a random community because what happens is you know when you signed up for a social network in 2007 like I did with Twitter or Facebook or whatever it is you were totally up for trying all different types of social networks now you're like well I've got my crew on different social networks I'll try them out but really unless I get immediate traction I'm not that interested so I don't want to just drop people into a moodle social network and around a particular thing which is the curation of resources that can totally pivot into more meta conversations around what do we mean by the best resources what do we mean by different views of this particular subject or whatever it is so the idea is that it will blossom into a much more general community practice network et cetera will this be a bolt on for existing installations of moodle in an institution and therefore have separate infrastructure support needs so this is completely separate to the moodle learning platform and it will have tighter integration with moodle but even if you're using something different you can still use moodle net that's the idea and then finally i.e. as a distributed learning platform we use the generated content as opposed to just sharing already existing resources so I don't I was a I was a continuum and it's been separated out yes absolutely so to start off with the quickest way to get resources in there is to reference stuff which already exists so you saw on the thing that was youtube it was pulling stuff in from OER repositories all that kind of stuff but one of the things which is talked about on the screencast is well okay I've got something like a moodle quiz and I want to share that so what we're going to do is to have like a moodle repository which can then be referenced so in the same way that we'll archive everything that currently exists on moodle.net to be available as stuff which can be cured into the new moodle net existing content in your moodle course will then you'll be able to share that as a public URL in a collection that's the idea we very much want there to be lots of moodle content there obviously any final questions before I hand over to the next speaker can you yes, where are you, sorry yeah I had a question you mentioned sorry you mentioned you had developed various degrees and that we could access the work that he's doing is that a separate link everything you need is on moodle.com if you click on tech choices then you'll see lots of information about decentralisation federation we're also using not obscure but less well known this is not going to be built in PHP so some of the back end stuff we need high scalability and reliability so we're building it in a language called elixir and Mayor de Borneo is a technical architect he has defended at length his decision as to why he's done that and we're actually currently in the process of hiring an elixir back end developer from our office in Barcelona he'll be coming on board in the next two weeks so I'll be building that out thank you


How to build your network meet successful people Hey, have you wanted to build your network you want to be hanging out with people who are really making things happen Who are really accomplishing things so that you could be motivated and motivate them to well great You've come to the right video, and we're starting right now. Hey, I'm JR Fisher. Welcome to my channel Thank you so much for watching this video. Don't forget to subscribe below hit that big subscribe button and next to it There's a bell you gotta ring the bell turn on all bell notifications So that you become part of the Fisher family the VIP group that gets notified every single time I do one of these videos you'll be in front of the line Which is a pretty cool spot to be if you're new to my channel I'm JR Fisher been selling online since 2009 so millions of dollars of both digital and physical products And on this channel, which is really your channel I share with you those tips tricks and techniques that have made me money I also share with you those things that don't work. So you don't do those things. It saves you time money and hassle now in this video We're gonna talk about networking networking kind of got a bad name years ago because it had a lot to do with multi-level stuff And I'm not cutting down that industry. That's just not for me. That's not my thing Multi-level was like you're trying to sell your friends and your family and you're networking and they're talking about Hey, you're gonna make all this money and you buy for me and then you get somebody else to buy from you And that's kind of what people thought of networking and networking in business is really not like that Networking in business is basically Surrounding yourself with successful people who are going to keep you motivated We're gonna make you accountable and who you can also help and I think that's the biggest thing right there There's too many people want to network so they can get a whole bunch of successful people around them But they're not contributing if they don't contribute then of course these people aren't gonna want to be around you So what I'd like to do is I want to go through a few steps of things that you need to do to get really super successful people To want to hang out with you Number one, this is the big one. This is the big one that's gonna get you started That's gonna cause you to fail if you don't do it and that is be somebody that they would want to hang out with Simple be somebody who other people would want to hang out with now. This is a multifaceted thing because it's not just You know being a cool person or being good-looking or any of that It's what kind of quality person are you you know people judge you based on your actions every day?   They're also gonna know you talk positive about people So the first step is be somebody who they want to hang out with so If you want to have really super successful people want to be around you guess what you have to be a really super successful person So a lot of people think well I just need to get some mentors people who are very successful who will tell me what to do and then I can be Successful to and that's not the way to go about it The way to go about it is the first thing you do is work on yourself and accomplish some things Do some things that are noteworthy, you know accomplish some things make some money Accomplish something physical do something write a book do something that other people are gonna look at and say gee I want to hang out with that person. That's a cool person to want to be with and That is the easiest way to really hang out with cool people because you will attract them They will see who you are and they'll say that's the kind of person that I want to hang out with Are you kind of people are you kind of animals? Do you care about other people's lives? You know are you are you nice to people? I mean are you just kind to people?  That's you that's on you and you're never gonna attract a nice circle of people now number two Let's talk about how to go about it. You can meet really cool people through other really cool people Okay, so once you've met a couple people you can also say do you know anybody else who is really into I don't know SEO or building websites or whatever that you think is really good at it I would love to meet them if you would introduce me so one of the easiest ways to do this is to ask other people if they know other people and To also offer to match them up with people that would help them out in life So if I meet somebody and they're working on building websites And I know some people that need some websites built I may say hey you may want to talk to Joe over here He needs some help on stuff and I can connect those people a little bit I'm gonna help them out also which comes to number three help other people help other people now I don't mean help other people and see how much money you can make off them I don't mean that at all. I mean if you've got an expertise or a talent and Somebody needs that offer your help for free. Yes for free. That means yeah, you don't charge them You don't do that. Okay offer for free now Can you help everybody that comes along for free all the time? Of course not But that doesn't mean that you get off with never helping anybody You've got to help some people along the way and I've got a lot of friends along the way that you know I've helped for years and they haven't really helped me out. They haven't done anything for me, but you know what? I don't expect it I don't expect them to if they want to do that they will if they want to introduce me to somebody they Can but bottom line is I feel like if I've given back a little bit to some people along the way And I've helped them out. That's going to make me a better person and in doing so I've met a lot of other really cool people because they've said hey I heard you help Nate or John or Pete or Bob or whoever it was and Yeah, I want to talk to you about whatever business field. I want to talk to you about a collaboration whatever Put that out there I know I get emails now on a daily basis about Collaborations because they see one of my videos on YouTube and they go hey, I'd like to collaborate with you now Right now I don't have a lot of time to do that I probably will on down the road but bottom line is it's all because they see I'm helping others for free And they say well, that's the kind of person I want to hang out with Number four ask others what they feel they need So when I meet somebody I don't just say hey, can you do this for me? Can you hook me up with this person? Can you you know give me this advice? I say, you know, what do you need? What are you working on? What can I help you out with? You know, I may know somebody that could help you So the first thing I'm going to do is offer help to somebody else a lot of people don't want to offer that You got to ask them what they need. What do you need? What can I do to make your life better? That's number four number five Really important really really really important number five. Are you ready for this? Don't take up so much of their time.  Don't abuse it. Don't stay on the phone for two hours Ask them more and more questions say I just have two or three things. I'd like to ask you real quick I really appreciate you taking time out and get those things answered and say I know you're a busy person Let me let you go if you do that It shows respect for their time and they're not going to think the next time that you contact them That you're going to be on there forever and they're they're going to want to avoid you if you do that Okay, so make sure you respect their time. Don't take too much of their time. Number six.  Okay So many times people will tell me their problems and all their issues and what's going on and what they need help with And what they've done, but they never let me say a word And i'm sitting there going well, I could help you with that if you'd stop talking if you'd just stop it Okay, I could probably help you and I don't say that but that's what i'm thinking What I do do is I kind of store that away and I go I know I can't help that person because they know it all they have all the reasons why they can't They have all the reasons why it's failed, you know, and all they want to do is talk about their problem But I can't help them So I will give up on those people because they won't let the other person talk Number seven achieve and present a success story. You got to do that Okay, you got to achieve something you got to do something and you go. I haven't done anything I'm going to say we'll go do something then, you know If it's write a book if it's write an article if it's sell a whole bunch of widgets if it's you know Do counseling with kids or help animals or whatever it is do something noteworthy and then let them know you did it Okay, don't brag but let them know you did it that way They know a little bit about you and they're going to be more likely to want to network with you and help you out Number eight find a reason to follow up if you like who you've talked to and you want to spend some more time with them You know, you may say to them Hey, I want to like to help you out with the situation you got here with your website And if you don't mind I'll get back with you about 60 days. See how it worked out for you Is that okay and they're going to say sure. Yeah. No, you help me out It'd be great and what you're doing is you're actually saying my advice is worth value And I know it's worth value or I wouldn't be contacting you in 60 days to see how well it worked out for you So that sets up a really good precedent and it also kind of puts in their minds that they're going to have to work on This thing because you're going to check with them So it'll actually help them be more successful because it puts expectations on them Number nine always say thank you always say thank you Now it doesn't matter to me if I'm helping somebody or they're helping me I'm still going to say thank you You know, if I help somebody out for an hour and a half on how to do videos on their youtube channel at the end I'm going to say hey, thanks for letting me help you out. Okay. They're gonna. Oh, no, no, no Thank you you help me out. But the point is we respect that okay We respect when somebody says thank you to us It's a big thing the two things that people have a hard time with is thank you and I'm sorry Okay, those are the two biggest things they cost us nothing They cost us zero so many people can never say they're sorry It's like giving up their soul or something even if you don't think you're wrong. Say, I'm sorry. Don't follow up with I'm sorry. You felt that way Don't do that because then it takes it right back away. Just say I'm sorry. Hey, I'm sorry It's not hard to do Thank you. I really appreciate that not hard to do These are two things that can really help you build your network. I promise Number 10 is kind of a bonus and number 10 is Be aware of your online presence.  Okay.   I guess because everybody has a voice now Everybody can you know spout out whatever's in their mind. They could put it online And you've got to understand that there's people that don't agree with you They just don't agree with you and when you spout out the stuff and I've seen this happen with family members I've had to have with my family members But they put just awful political views online and awful political view is Bleep this out billy Awful political view is whatever the other person doesn't agree with that's what an awful political view is Now I have my political views probably not too many people know anything about it unless they know me really close Because I'm not trying to change anybody's political view.  That's awful. That's just awful People who decide to network with you are going to look online and see what your online presence is And if it's that of an angry person if it's that of somebody who argues with people Who spouts a bunch of political views who it spouts a bunch of different religious views and against all these different things They're not going to want to hang out with you. I promise you they're not going to want to hang out with you Okay, try to be kind and I said that in the beginning. Just be kind be nice Okay, respect that other people may not agree with you. That doesn't mean that they're bad people They just don't agree with you and that's okay I think social media is the worst place to put your opinions of just about anything Okay, I really do so when you're posting online Understand you're building that personality online that people are going to go back and look at and the more they look at it The more stuff you have in there that's good The more they're going to feel like hanging out with you and if you have negative stuff The opposite occurs.

Hi guys, welcome back. It's me Max from the Max Curation. Thank you so much for coming back to this channel. In today's video, we are going to look at the responsibilities of a security guard during what you call access control. What does a security guard do during what you call access control? Remember, it is your role as a security guard and your responsibility as security guard to give access to only those people that are permitted to access any given site in any other. So you ensure access is only given to those people that are permitted after under fulfilling the required requirements in one way or the other. So when we look at access, we shall look at access control in what we call three forms or what we call three types of access control. We shall look at what we call discretionary access control. That is where the access control lies in the hands of what we call the owner's company. He has a control in that way. Then we also what you call the what you call the rule-based access control. What you call the rule access-based control is the rules are being put in place and they should not be violated. For example, don't use, for example, you should not enter without an ATRAZ application or no. Or you should not enter these premises without a mask. Those are what you call the rule-based access control. Then we also look at what you call the identity-based access control. When we are talking about identity-based access control, we are looking at the access control that is given to someone after fulfilling or after presenting a given series of documents for him to be given access into. It may be into that office or it may be that building or it may be into a particular area in that area. Remember, under this access we want to look at what are the response bits of the security guard. One of the response bits of the security guard is what we call handling visitors. How do you handle visitors? When you look at these visitors, either this visitor may be a VIP or this visitor may be appointed or on appointment or not even appointment. But remember, whether the visitor is on a planned or unplanned or a VIP, then he has to complete what you call a pre-access control security check. You first of all need to identify. For example, we are looking at handling visitors. For example, if this visitor is to come into the premises, you need to ask where the visitor is going. If it is the room number, it is supposed to have the room number. But still before you can give that person access, you need to get the prayer consent of the owner of that apartment or the owner of that building or owner of that office before that person that can go. Then after you need to what you call confirm is the visitor. Is this visitor or is this person going to that real location? That is same. Then probably after confirming what you need to do next, then you need to verify that person by getting what you call the ID. You get the ID. You register in the log out book. You register the time of arrival. You also register the location. You also verify if it's using the vehicle. You also verify the vehicle number. You also give all the details that are pertaining that. If it is a VIP and you are handling a visitor with the VIP and that person who need an escort or need someone escorting up to your apartment, definitely it has to be the same procedure. But remember, always make sure that you write each visitor or that is accessing the premises in what you call the visitor's registration book by writing the ID number. It can be the company number. It can be the national ID or it can also be what you call the work permit. You can register that. Then you also need to register the time. You need to register the location and you need to thoroughly verify. Then two, number two is what you call is your responsibility as a security guard to make sure that you grant access to only those people permitted during what you call handling deliveries. Especially when we are handling deliveries, you may be handling what you call delivery people or you may be handling personal deliveries. In this case, you need to verify whether that delivery is permitted to go in that place. Apart from that, you also need to verify the owner of that delivery or where that delivery is going. How? How do you do by what you call? You do what you call pre-access control and that pre-access control by asking the people, the personal delivering which location is going and what kind of item is carrying that is part of what you call the pre-access. So, this will give you a clear insert for you to know whether that item is permitted that area or is not permitted in that area. And in case it is permitted in that area, then definitely you are going to go down in what you call the visitor's logbook. You are going to write the name of the person. You are going to write the ID of the person. You are also going to write a mobile number of the person. Then you are also going to write what you call the time when that person arrived or the time of the person is going to that location. That is what what is under what you call handling deliveries. Also, still another responsibility is your responsibility during access control to hand what you call contractors and maintenance. Make sure when you're handling contractors and maintenance in that site, at that site where you are being posted or that it can be that building or it can be that mall or it can be that wherever you may be posted as your work duty, make sure it will make sure you handle the contractor and maintenance in that kind of manner that it can is authorized to do so. By getting all the full details getting the location what items are supposed to be delivered do they have a work permit? Yes, when they have a work permit what is the validity of that work permit? Then how many people are going to go in the building? All that kind of information should be put in what you call the control what you call the visitor's book. The number of people going in that people going to work on that site, which kind of materials are being delivered on that site, the contract or what you call the permit that authorizes them to do the work, then you also have what you call passes that these other contractors should have in one way or the other. So all those details should be clearly indicated in the book, the time of arrival, then also the time of departure. Then also we look at what you call another one is called entry control. Look at entry control, into control we can either be using what you call an access card or it can also be used by what we call manually. Manually by writing in the visitor's book the details pertaining to that person who you are giving access to. If it is a number of the vehicle or it is a visitor with a vehicle or it is a someone with a vehicle that got permission from the owner or from visiting from anyone then probably need to take the plate number, you need to take the signature, you need to take the type and you also need to include the location where that person is by what you call the pre entry. Then also look at what you call exit control. Exit control is also a responsibility by logging out people. Under exit control you log out that person that is already in, log out by logging out the time and making sure that person has got out of the building. Then still also what you call, we also what you call escorting onsite. This what you call escorting onsite is your responsibility especially if the materials have to deliver to a particular area and they need to be thoroughly counted and to see that that is the exact number. It may be your role depending on which kind of job description. It may also depending on what kind of role you begin when it may be your role to do what you call the escorting onsite. It can be a VIP that is coming onsite and you need to give an extra security then definitely it will be as a team leader and other guys to be organized to say that they can give out that kind of security to that person or to that given entity. Then also we look at the last one is what you call access control point documentation. You look at access control documentation we look at for example in that particular area or that company that you may be working for. There may be a lot of employees coming in and you definitely need to do what you call the search and find in case there is something that missing or in case they have to deliver they have to log in to come in definitely to be part of your role. You look at the deliveries, you look at employees coming into that company if it's a busy company and how many people are going in how many people are going in and in case it's part of your role then definitely you have to be in one one another and that is what you call accessing or what you call giving access control. So all those listed above are part of your responsibilities when it comes to access control especially on sites that we have. Thank you so much for coming back to us and remember it's next from the next creation. See you again in the next video.


Alright, so today we are here to talk about The House of the Scorpion. Now this one, I actually remember seeing it around when I was a kid. I never picked it up, but I did hear about it, and a couple people in my comments kept asking me to review it to talk about it in some way, so I figured why not. I checked it out, and I think it's good. I'm not really in the target audience, but I think it's good. This is the introduction song. It's not very good, but it's not too long. This will probably be a brief review, because I don't have that much to say. Like, I'll have a brief non-spoiler section, and then a brief spoiler section, because I mean, in both cases, there's just not that much to add. Like, this isn't a particularly long book, and it is for kids. So, you know, like, even though I could probably go into more depth on certain criticisms I have, it's for kids. Like, so what would be the point? You know, I think this is a good book. I think it's well put together and everything. It didn't really grab me, but that's because I'm really not part of the target audience. Like, if you were to take a book with the same setup and make it for, you know, an older audience, I might have liked it more, but as it stands now, I think, yeah, this would be good for kids. So, the setup for this book is admittedly kind of weird, but it's also pretty cool. Basically, this is some time far in the future. They never specify exactly when. At first, I thought it was relatively close in the future, but then based on some of the technology and some of the events they reference and stuff, I think it's over a hundred years in the future. And essentially, a big chunk of northern Mexico and the southern United States has been taken and it's formed its own country, which was run by drug lords who just, you know, sell opium and stuff like that. And they, well, actually the country is literally just called opium. It took me a while before I realized that, which is kind of a dumb name, but whatever, whatever, not a big deal. And the story follows this kid named Mateo, or Matt, as he's usually referred to as, who is a clone of the, essentially the king of opium. Like, he's usually just referred to as El Patron. And Matt, it kind of follows Matt throughout his entire childhood. Like, it starts off when he's like six years old and it shows a big chunk of his life there where he, like, meets some friends and stuff and then it just skips forward a few years and then shows a big chunk like that. And so on and so forth until we get to 14 and that's where the, maybe the second half of the book, I think, is. Probably the biggest issue with the book is that that's kind of all there is here. Like, there isn't much of an overarching story up until maybe two thirds through. Because around two thirds through we get to this point where I actually thought this was supposed to be the climax because a whole bunch of crazy stuff happens and then Matt has to go off and do more stuff. I'm not going to get into it in the non-spoiler section. And as I was listening to it, because I did this one on the audio book, as I was listening to it, I was thinking, okay, this is actually going to be a pretty good cliffhanger. And then I looked and I saw there were still several hours left and then the next couple hours are just Matt doing other stuff and then we get to the real climax. And admittedly, that last third does have like an actual story and is doing its own thing and everything. It just feels a little odd because we spent most of the book in this one location learning about these characters and everything and then we tossed most of that aside. So that was a little odd. But other than that, yeah, this book is mostly just kind of showing Matt live his life in this area which he slowly starts to discover is extremely dystopic. Like it's a very nasty place to live, which shouldn't surprise you that much considering that, again, it is a country literally founded by drug dealers and it's run by drug lords who make all their money from opium and stuff. So yeah, it's not that weird that it would be kind of a nasty place to live. But even beyond that, there is a lot of unpleasant stuff like the way Border Patrol deals with people who are fleeing either from the US to Mexico or Mexico to the US. Actually, Mexico is no longer called Mexico in this.  And now their name is Aslan, which brief aside, that's a weird name to choose because Aslan is actually where the word Aztec comes from because the people who we refer to as Aztecs, they were kind of an alliance of several different city-states which went out and conquered that whole empire, right? But the tribe that ran Tenochtitlan, which was the main city-state which kind of ran everything, they were the Mexica tribe, which is actually where the name Mexico comes from. And before they founded Tenochtitlan, they were a nomadic tribe which wandered around and they claimed to be from this place called Aslan, which was somewhere to the north. Now, we don't know precisely where Aslan is in the world. You know, it's probably somewhere in northern Mexico or the US. But the thing is, if northern Mexico was gone, then Aslan is no longer part of Mexico. At least I think it wouldn't be. So having that name is odd to me. And admittedly that's a very small detail. But it did irk me just a bit.  You know, I like that we can see him as a kid when his personality hasn't really fully formed yet and then we get to see him grow up and change over the course of the book. Like, I once heard a metaphor about how people change as they grow up.  So like, the basic shape is there and everything. But as the years go on, all the muscles and organs and skin and everything get added on. And that fits really well for Matt because as a kid, his personality is not super well formed. But as he gets older, you can definitely see, oh yeah, he's changing, but this is still the same guy underneath it all. And I thought that was pretty neat. He's not like the most compelling character either.  He's a little slow on the uptake. Like, nothing that's really annoying or that I couldn't deal with. But I'd be lying if I said it didn't irk me a little bit. Like, when he finds out the real reason why he was cloned, it seemed obvious to me the whole time. Like it just, it shouldn't have been surprising to him. And it's the book treats it as this massive plot twist, which I thought was kind of dumb, but you know, really not that big a deal. And if I was a kid reading it, then maybe it wouldn't have bothered me at all. As for the other characters, they're all kind of fine.  And he's just a very nice friend to Matt throughout all this. Like, because again, Matt's in this nasty setting where everyone kind of hates him. And Tamlin actually comes along and is his friend. Although I will say that he's supposed to be Scottish, but the audiobooks narrator makes him sound more Irish, which is a little annoying, but again, not a huge issue. Like I've been saying that a lot, I know, but that's the thing. There's a lot of stuff in here, which is a little irksome and really prevents this book from rising to being a great book, I think. But it's not that big a deal overall. Like I said, I think it's good. And if I were a kid, maybe a lot of these things wouldn't bother me at all. And you know, I don't have a whole lot else to add in the non-spoiler section. What I will say is that House of the Scorpion, it is an interesting look at a future world with a somewhat interesting main character who I think he's going to get much more development in the sequels and stuff because he certainly changes a bunch in the last third of this book. And I think if you're a younger person or you're looking for a gift for a younger person, they probably like this one a lot. If you're an adult, I don't know if it'll blow your mind, but there's some good stuff in here. And if that setup sounds neat to you, then go ahead and check it out. Okay, now for spoilers. So basically, El Patron cloned himself and made Matt so that he could have a spare set of organs around so that when he needs a new liver or something, he can just take mats. And that seemed super obvious to me from the get go. Like it seemed like, yes, that he's just for spare parts. It's not only is it mentioned that he's done this multiple times in the past, but it's kind of implied that that's what he's been doing throughout the whole book.  But then it turns out that Matt's mother or the woman who raised him at least, she had kind of sort of poisoned him so that his organs would be no good for El Patron, like he still can live. Obviously, she didn't want to kill Matt, but his organs can't be used anymore. So El Patron dies and Matt has to flee, and he's supposed to run off and find one of his friends in Aslan, you know, in Mexico somewhere. But he winds up getting caught up basically, and he goes to what is essentially an orphanage. Now, at this point, we learn some more about Aslan and how they're also kind of an unpleasant dystopia. And without going into too much detail, it's basically a sort of collectivist society, it seems, and like no one's allowed to accumulate wealth for themselves and such. Like, I don't mind that they're putting that in there, it's just handled with all the subtlety of Ein Rand.   And at that point, this book becomes kind of more of a traditional kid's story, because I don't know what you would call this genre. But there are a lot of books that I read as a kid, and I'm sure a lot of you can think of some too, where kids are just stuck in some sort of like evil school, or evil location, or something, and they have to escape. Like, the most recent example I can think of is an anime called The Promised Neverland, which is basically the same idea, which that one is actually, I think, aimed at more of an older audience, though, because they have like dead bodies and stuff that maybe kids shouldn't be seeing. But yeah, I remember reading a lot of books with like similar setups, you know, oh, we're at an evil orphanage, so let's escape the orphanage, or we're at an evil boarding school, let's escape the evil boarding school, you know, that sort of thing. And at that point, like I said, is more of a traditional kid's story. So, I was a lot less interested for the last couple hours of this book. But eventually, you know, Matt and some of his new friends, who were just kind of introduced and none of whom are that interesting, I don't think, they escape with him.   And then he goes there and it turns out the people who were supposed to take over after El Patron died have also been killed, because El Patron basically didn't want anyone to outlive him. So he kind of just killed all of them.  I don't care anymore. Which is kind of interesting, actually. I think I kind of wish El Patron had stuck stuck around, because I think he'd be a really interesting villain for this series, because he's evil. He's straight up evil. But you can kind of see where he's coming from, and he has a neat backstory, and he does have a weird sort of charisma about him. So I kind of wish he would have stuck around. But either way, long story short, Matt realizes, okay, I'm basically the only one that can conceivably have a claim to this place, because I don't know how that really works, actually. It's not like it's a monarchy where there's a law set up for him to take over, I don't think. But alright, whatever. Basically, he takes over as the king of opium, and he's like, okay, I'm just gonna dismantle El Patron's drug empire. And then that's kind of where it ends. It's, you know, setting it up for sequels. And while I do think that's an okay ending, I also feel that it makes this whole book feel almost like a prologue. Like, you know, this is just the setup for a bigger story, which is not inherently a bad thing, but looking back at this and realizing that the plot didn't have much focus or direction, it makes me realize, man, a lot of that time was kind of wasted. And I feel like maybe everything with El Patron up to Matt taking over could have been handled in, like, half of the time it was. And then the second half of the book would be Matt in charge of everything and getting it over his head. And I don't know what happens in the sequels, but like, whatever happens there could continue happening. And I don't know. I just, I just feel like the plot could have been structured a bit better there. But, you know, not the end of the world. Overall, like I said before, if that sounds interesting to you, go ahead and give it a shot. I can't speak to the sequels, but I get the feeling that they're probably a bit better than this one if only because they have more direction to them. Alright, this is the part where I have to read off Patron names.

There was this fear campaign that if Millet won, he would be the sort of fascist, you know, who would be a danger for democracy, just like people in the US talked about Donald Trump in recent years or people in Brazil talked about Shahid Bolsonaro. Millet was described as this very dangerous person who should not be president. So this is the reason why I think it was Massa, particularly who got more votes, because Millet was sort of competing with the rest of the opposition for the anti-government vote. He won that, if you take that as a primary, as another primary say, then he won that because he beat Patricia Borich, who will not be in the second ballot, but the government sort of consolidated its support and got more votes, I think, because of this fear campaign and because it tried to focus, it tried to avoid economics, basically, because the presidential candidate is the minister of economy, but our economy is in shambles right now. We have a 140% annual inflation rate, an ongoing recession, poverty rates that are through the roof. So it was smart of the government to try to avoid the economic themes and just focus on how dangerous Millet would be. And I think that's the reason why they got more votes. But it wasn't just the fear campaign, right? Like Massa also engaged in a little bit of, I would say, not exactly trickery, but almost like bribing people to vote for him when it really got down to the wire. It was even reading a little bit about how people would show up to bus stations and train stations and see the government basically communicating, oh, if Millet comes into power, then here is how much your ticket will actually be because it'll no longer be subsidized by the government and he'll slash all of these programs, which is a fairly compelling pitch to people who are struggling financially. Could you tell us a little bit about like, what was this very slimy campaign that Massa was running? Yeah, I mean, it was all very sketchy and it wasn't just that. For people who haven't been to Argentina, bus tickets, train tickets, subway tickets are highly subsidized, particularly in Buenos Aires. And so a bus ride can cost something like seven cents of a dollar when the true price should be something like a dollar. And so who's paying for that? Of course, taxpayers. It's only indirectly that they're paying for that with, for example, this monstrous inflation rate that we have, but it's not something that you pay directly. And so what the government did was they actually installed like signs that said, if without a subsidy, you would be paying 10 times what you're paying today, which was a very, not a direct, but a very clear reference to the fiscal adjustment that both Millet and Bullridge were proposing. Something else that Minister Masa did was he actually cut taxes in these past two months, which is something that a leftist, Peronist government as we call it here would never do, but this time they do it. Minister Masa sort of slashed income tax for actually, this was mostly for people who are high earners in Argentina, but he basically slashed it and he also implemented, well, they passed a law that Minister Masa sent to Congress, which would, which is effective now, and sort of gives money back to taxpayers, the VAT attacks, it gives it back basically to consumers who use their debit card in supermarkets and grocery stores. So there were lots of measures put in place by the government, which are already fueling inflation because the September rate, for example, was 12.7%, which was the highest monthly rate in 30 years in Argentina. Wow, really? Yeah, yeah, I know, right? Okay, yeah. And before that in August, we had, you know, surf past our record again. So this is like a continuous thing, you know, every month we get higher inflation than the previous one, and it is in part because of these measures. They weren't enough to sort of calm markets down. There still was a run against the peso right before the election for people to get a sense of what the exchange rate is here. Right after the August primaries, the dollar was trading at something like 600 pesos. But right before the election, this past Sunday, the dollar was trading at something like 1,000 pesos. So there was definitely a run against the peso, which Mr. Massa was unable to contain. But still, you know, these measures that he took, these very populist measures, they're very, we're used to them. That's probably why I didn't even mention them in the first place, you know? Because we see that happen repeatedly. And regardless of who the president is, of what their political affiliation is, they all try to implement measures that will get them the most votes right before the election. In the case of Massa, it was tax cuts, which alongside this fear campaign, I think were very effective. So you could say Malay has already delivered his first tax cut just through the fear of his election by his political opponents. But you know, when Malay- That's actually, I'm sorry, that's actually what he said because he has to cease in Congress right now. Yeah, he has to cease in Congress. One of them is actually him. And he actually voted in favor of the tax cuts.  Let's return to the election results for just a moment. As you mentioned, the top finisher here, Massa, got about 37% of the vote. Malay, 29.9% of the vote, almost 30%. And then Bullrich with almost 24%. So actually a fairly even split between the three. Could you just explain to us the difference between these three main, these three top finishing parties and candidates? Yeah, so basically, instead of Massa, you find the representative of the current administration. He is the administrator of economy. He is sort of like the shadow president, if you will, because our president has largely gone out of stage. He's doing nothing really. Nobody really cares about what the president is doing since like the beginning of this year, when he announced that he was not going to go for a reelection, he's deeply unpopular. But Massa represents the Peronist party that of Juan Domingo Perón, who back in the 40s and the 50s introduced populist policies, which it's hard to explain because the Peronist party has many faces. Some of them tend to be leftists, some of them tend to be rightists. And Massa is a perfect example of that. Massa actually started his political career in a center-right party, in a sort of libertarian party really, back in the late 1980s. And there are some people who still remember him as defending economic liberty, like strongly, very strongly. But after joining the Peronist party, he sort of defended whoever the Peronist in charge was, which made him actually oppose, Nestor and Christina Kirchner, who were presidents from 2003 to 2015. He was a minister for that government. He then resigned. He ran as a presidential candidate against Kirchner's candidate. So he's been going back and forth between leftist and rightist positions. Right now, he's the representative of the left in Argentina, of the center-left. Did you wanna go to some audience questions, Zach? Yes, there's quite a few that have come in. One is from Narama Shanmuk, says Massa is not center-left. He's a left-wing populist. From what you were describing, it sounded to me like, I think these terms get a little confusing across in different contexts, because populist, well, giving out a bunch of goodies ahead of the election, that's a populist move. Here in America, we tend to think of populism as anti-establishment figures, but it's a little muddled here because he's part of the establishment, but he's also a populist. And I don't know that Millay, he's often described as a populist. I don't know that he is a populist, but he's anti-establishment. Is there anything else you wanna add to the understanding of these terms? Yeah. People also describe Millay as like a fascist or in keeping with Bolsonaro, which is sort of not my understanding of the policies that Millay is promoting. I think people are very imprecise with their labels. Yeah, so in terms of labeling, Masa is definitely the establishment candidate.  He's actually calling for a government of national unity. He's actually courting these parties, these juntos por el cambio parties that will not endorse Millay. He's trying to get them to be part of a potential government by him. I would call Masa a populist, definitely, because of the measures that he took, that he's taking. And I think at this point, he represents basically all of the left in Argentina, the center left, but also the far left, and the left just left, you know? Because, I mean, with the far left candidate out for the runoff, anyone who feels leftist will vote for him. But again, I think Masa has switched skins in the past. He has been rightist, he has been leftist, and many people think he can actually make another 180 degree turn. So we don't really know what's gonna happen. And then you were talking about Millay as sort of a Bolsonaro or Trumpish figure. That's a very interesting discussion. I understand why many people have compared Millay to Trump or Bolsonaro. I am not sure that that comparison is completely accurate because neither Trump nor Bolsonaro were a libertarian. I mean, we're self-described anarcho-capitalists. It's not that Millay, it's not that Millay... Right, it's not that Millay calls himself just a classical liberal or a libertarian. He's called himself an anarcho-capitalist. Hey, thanks for watching that clip of our talk with Marcos Falcone about the presidential candidacy of Javier Millay. You can watch the full conversation here or another clip over here.
