Well, I'm going to try to describe what happens to these large banks and their trading rooms that they have. These are not rooms, folks. These are acres of rooms. I mean, I think the one for Citibank that I've been to has well over three. Well, used to have well over 350 traders, Hong Kong, Goldman Sachs at 150. That was just a small office. The other one I was in was Smith Barney many, many years ago. And let me explain to you how it works. 1985. I had, I was actually 86. I met a gentleman from Grand Rapids, Michigan, Gary Tilkin. Gary was married to the daughter of the heir of Amway. She was here. Her father started Amway. And Gary had an idea because he had worked at a trading house in Switzerland for it was called Bank Loy, LOI. Very nice place. He did very well. And I, he was fortunate enough that he selected me while I was the fortunate one to teach. He may be equal CD and he liked it quite a bit. And he said, look, I want to start my own trading house. And I said, well, it's going to cost a lot of money. He said, well, you know, I'm married to the, Janet was the daughter. And he said, he'll, he'll back, back me to whatever I need. And I said, well, you're probably going to, and this was, remember, this was 40 years ago. I said, you're probably going to need about $300 million. And he said, that's no problem. And of course, it's collateralized and everything. And so here's what he did.  And we've been to London with him several times. And so he drew up a plan of how these banks work. And this is how it works. Folks, stop, stop and think of a great business. Let's say you have 500 traders in a trading room and you're the bank. Let's say you're the, the, the Swiss bank of the Indian Ocean. I'm looking at my big world map up here. And I just thought of Switzerland. So we'll call it the Swiss bank of the Indian Ocean and you have 500 bank traders in that room. Okay. And all these traders rely on the telephone to take orders from customers from all over the world. Because they're a big bank, they have billions of billions of dollars. These traders need margin to put their trades on. So they go to the bank for the margin. So they put their decks into that bank. So once the decks are in the bank, the bank knows, A, how much money they have. B, how well they do as trading. Right. Right. How often they trade. Okay. How often is their biggest loss? How is their smallest biggest profit? They know all of that information folks. You wonder why they make money all the time?  I know that's a silly fact, but it is people that learn to do this, they'll get better and they won't lose. So when a trader gets to be very, very good at let's say the South Bank of the Indian Ocean, they will not restrict him or stop trading. What they do is when that trade comes in, they'll lay it off to the Goldman Sachs operation. They'll just say, we take whatever it happens to be and that's pretty much how it works. They know exactly who's winning, exactly who's losing, the one people that you don't want to fade the other side of it because every forex trade that goes in with the exception of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, which is an auction exchange. In other words, a little regular exchange where you go bid and ask, whereas with the foreign exchange market, the bid and ask is there, but the bank is taking that action 99% of the time. They just take the other side of it because there's going to be somebody else at that bank is taking the other side of that. So they're making commission on both sides. You remember trading places up in the office there where Mortimer and Randolph were there and Billy Ray was there and they were explaining to him. He says, look, if the good part is, he says, if our customers make money, that's good. And if our customers lose money, that's good. And he says, do you know why Billy Ray?  You make both sides of the bet and it's exactly what banks do. They're taking both sides of the bet and they will not take the sides of the bet and the big customers that are making huge trades and lots of money. In 1972, when we were trading at Conti Commodity, there was a man there. I'm not going to mention his name because he's very, very famous, but he was one of the big boys. You know, Mike Marcus was there. Rick Barnes was there. Ed Secota was there and this guy was, he's still one of the greatest. And he understood how that worked. And so he was able to start a foreign exchange operation, trading just one thing, the Deutschmark, because he believed the Deutschmark was undervalued and that's exactly what happened. People that bought Mercedes thought the Mercedes was really great value because it would go up all the time. It was only because the Deutschmark, the German mark, was going up all the time. Okay. So anyway, that's the reason why is they have all those factors in their favor and that's why they do it. When you see a bank that has a trading operation that loses money, they faded the wrong person or they had an idea. Do you remember the guy, Nick, what was the guy's name? Nick, the guy that blew the Barron's Bank up. He took the other side of that trade and nobody had it because he had done so well. Nobody bothered to even check what his deck was. And then the earthquake hit and that was it. It was toast and he took down a bank that had been in the UK for what, 250 years or something like that. So it's all about risk control, moving money, booking all the trades from all the people with the exception of those 5 or 10% that are doing extremely well and then you just give those off to somebody else. And that's the same thing with bookmakers do in Las Vegas. If they take a million dollar bet on a hockey game and they're very uncomfortable with it, they'll lay most of that bet or all of it off to other bookies because they want to spread it out, okay? That's what it's really all about. I hope that helps. That's exactly how those banks work. And if anybody trials to tell you any different, say, thank you very much and move on and go over and buy an ice cream cone or something because they're not telling you the truth. Because if you think they've got 500 good traders in that room, I think again, that's basically the bottom line. So I do hope that helps. I happen to know people, well, not many, but a couple of people that are on that group that people do not fade them because they're very good. They still get their orders filled. But it's because when they put the order in, they lay it off on somebody else. That's pretty good. That's why trading foreign exchange at the Merc, okay, you're in there with somebody else. There's no bank against that. It's a valid contract. But with the bank, they take both sides of the contract. That's why they don't have to play. And not only that, but a person pays a one-pip commission or two-pip commission going in, two-pip commission going out. I mean, how can you lose on that? Impossible. So that's why they do so well. But then when they do bad, it's because somebody screwed up. They don't do it happen very often, but they do. And sometimes, you know, business dries up because people move on and things like that and they've got to keep their customers happy. But that's really the bottom line of how it works. I've watched it over the years, and I don't know. I feel real strongly about that. Mark Douglas and I have been in many of the, well, at least four or five of those banks. I've been three in Switzerland with Mark and two in the United States. They're all the same.<PHONE_NUMBER>. Believe it or not. Mike Moore Analytics at the break.

TFNN Educating Investors Free at 1-877-927-6648 Internationally at<PHONE_NUMBER> Okay, folks, I posted the chart of the E-mini S&P up here again for the 75th time in the last 75 days. And you'll notice here that we have hit that 61% retracement quite a few times up there at 4200. We're trading around 41.5, I believe, something like that today. We're 27 days up, 27 days up. The question is, why hasn't the market broken to the downside? The answer is very simple. The top is not crested yet. It could crest at this high. It could crest at a higher high and it might not crest at all. It might just keep on going to the upside. We're going to know that Sunday and Monday for sure because all of this stuff should be in play right now. If we close below 41.30 today in the S&P, that's a sign that, yes, we probably have made some type of a pretty significant high in here. Now, we've talked about the put-call ratio. We've talked about the VIX index. All of that stuff lines up. And I've said here for the 15th time, we'll make this the 16th time, this thing scares me to death. And the reason why is I can't see any reason why it's up here. I can see where it is right now, but if it breaks out to the upside, the only reason I can see is this little cowboy has missed something really big and it could go a long way up. I've seen this happen before and I don't want to stand in front of it. So we know when we're wrong here, but if we close really strong above 42.20, we are probably broken out to the upside and we're going to go a long way. If we close poorly, then that's a sign, yes, this could be what we think is a very, very important top. We've looked at this from a lot of different perspectives, fear and greed. We've looked at it with the volatility index. We've looked at it with Feminacci. We've had three astrologers on. Shane's million, Tim Boss, Norm Winsky, all saying the same thing that we're over something really, really big. Now, Shane thinks it's very, very bullish to the upside and then also Norm flips the coin either way. Tim thinks it's got a possibility to have a pretty good move to the downside. So that's what I'm trying to explain to you today, folks, is that we don't know what direction it's going to go. Right now it appears it could go either way without any trouble at all. So we have to remind ourselves there's no mistake in being wrong. The mistake is staying wrong because you do not want to stand in front of this. Because if it does go up and if it does go up, that's it and you can't stand in front of it. So let's just be careful. Make sure you have your stops working in there and make sure you have a game plan because if you don't have a game plan, not a good sign. Okay, let's move on here to a couple things and this could be the culprit. Not a culprit, but this could be the reason why this might fail. One of many reasons, of course, but let's take a quick look here. This happens to be the chart of Apple. Daily chart is a beautiful 135 pattern. The difference is, folks, the ratios has matched this ratio right here, 0.87. But the time is off now by four days. Someone said that Apple was going to be lower today. I didn't even bother to check it. But that's what we're paying attention to because if Apple breaks out to the upside and I'm not saying Apple is the whole market, but more people own Apple stock than just about any other stock. So that in itself is going to be good. So that's really what we're looking at. Just a lot of different things and we're setting at that level. It's no different than if we were setting right at the ABCD level at the bottom right there. See, one of the things I'm going to be talking about over at the Money Show when I'm doing speaking is to talk about these stock traders about AB equals CD. And I just wanted to bring this chart up today. This is someone who was just listening to our show that we did back in March, which was their day trading. Oh, it's February that we did the, I don't remember what day we did it. I think it was February 26th. Anyway, I talked about ABCDs and he had been practicing with ABCDs. This is the E-mini S&P and there's the three drives. There's one, two, three. Now remember, this is a smaller timeframe, folks. This is an hourly. And then you can see the ABCD down and then the one we had this morning. I mean, it was just unbelievable, folks. We went 20 points up, 20 points down, 20 points up, all of them doing ABCDs. And when that happens, there's a lot of volatility. It means the soldiers are out in the field and who's going to run out of bullets first will determine, you know, what direction some of these things are going to be going. It's very, very important. To me, of all the things that Jeff Hughes showed us, this one with the VIX index, because the VIX is really good for volatility, but it also gives an idea of what people are expecting as far as, you know, the standard deviations. And as you can see here, we are at a level here that we haven't been here in several years. You know, and every time we were at that level, you can see we were at a major top. Each time that level came down, each time it was right at a major top. So that's why we want to pay very close attention to some of these things, because when they do happen, you've got to pay close attention to them. But they don't work all the time. That's the thing. Nothing works all the time. If you think it works all the time, do something else because it's something that you just don't want to mess with. I have to show you a chart here because we've talked about this several times here. Just to show you the importance of these Fibonacci numbers. This is not something that everybody trades, except in China. And this is the live hog market, okay? Now, I just want you to see here. You see this big black line here? That's the 1.618 expansion of the six month down move. There's your three drive to a top pattern. Here you are down here. Three drives to a bottom. The number comes in at 8490. Folks, we hit 8490 on Wednesday. We hit 8490 on Thursday and weigh 8490 within 10 points of on Friday, all three times. And each time the market is rallied 300 points, which, you know, $1,200 in hogs. That's telling you that there's a bottom in hogs. So start thinking about a place to get long hogs because this is telling you there's major support down there happens three days in a row. I mean, that's a really a big deal. I hope that helps as we talk about some of these things, you know, because it's really important to remind ourselves that that's what's been going on. Oh, by the way, when we come back the following the first week in May, remember the first Saturday in May, we are going to have the Kentucky Derby. We're going to do our annual pool. All those that you would like to bet with me send your money to tokensrs.com. And I will be happy to make your bets for you. And of course, we've never had a losing month here in the Kentucky Derby because mainly I take that money and I spend it on clothes and expensive cars. Well, I only got $10 in, so that must not be in a very expensive car. But anyway, I will not be betting on the Kentucky Derby this year. After 10 consecutive losing years, I decided that maybe I should stick to either Batman, Majan, or chess. I'm not sure which I've decided to do yet. I'm still going to be playing poker, but the horses. And if you believe that, I still have two shares of the Brooklyn Bridge. Look for number three in the Derby. I love this horse. We're going to have Mike Moore, more analytics on the line, and then we'll finish up with that. And I'll see you guys the first week in May. I'm taking a, of course, you know, I'm going to be in Vegas. Doing a little bit of work over there, visiting friends, and then back to Tucson. So I'm going to be doing a little bit of traveling this summer with my good friend, Tommy Hougard, and hopefully we're going to have a day trading session with Tom Hougard and myself in the near future. He's said he'd like to do it. So boy, I hope we can, because that'll be fun. Five hours with him would be, would be a lot of fun. Anyway, we're going to take a break, folks.<PHONE_NUMBER>.

Mike, how are you doing today, my friend? Good. How are you doing, Larry? Thank you for having me on. I'm very good. Thank you for everybody else who's out there listening. Listen, thank you for some of the stuff you've been sending us about the oil market because nobody believed it, but they're believers now. Tell us what you're looking at, my friend. What would you like to start off with crude or natural gas or would you like to start off? You go ahead and we've got a half hour, so let's start with natural gas. We've got a lot of folks interested in that. Then we do crude oil, heating oil, and then gasoline and then some other things as we have time, okay? Okay, so jumping into natural for most of you that have been watching this past number of months, I said that when we broke below this major formation here, that it would be projected downward.  It's coming in perfect. Everything's great. From 499.30, projected standard, 227 minimum, 370 plus maximum. We've seen 3.047 of that lower. All those bearish macro calls are on hold. And then I said the breakback above, 201.50 to 199.21s, we may be in a macro bullish correction. We've seen 370 ticks so far from 201.50. And I just said if this does play out to be a macro bullish correction, it should exceed 990 ticks from the low, which would mean the minimum target would be 293.60. Okay. Let me just drop down a time frame here for you. We also left a fairly significant bullish reversal below here the other day on the 17th of April, which also warns a higher trade for days. We've rolled over and filled in this gap a little bit, which is understandable since we had such a big gap higher. But let me just go down one more. Sorry, I was augmenting my trades in here. That was the big break below these lows when we came back up through them. And that's suggested that the low may be in here before this macro bullish correction. And then we broke above this formation right in here, which as said was trade above 216.40 projects to separate 210 ticks minimum, 250 ticks plus maximum. So we've seen 221 ticks of that so far before rolling over. And now we have another formation up above that comes in that came into 236.50 minus 0.2 of the tick per hour starting at 8am. So obviously it's maybe at 236.30 right now. And that projects us upward 230 ticks minimum 450 ticks plus maximum. So if we take that out and we start seeing some of that, that'll get us a good way towards our minimum target of 29, 293.60, which would be up in here. That's if we see it, we're not necessarily projected there, but a lot of these things are lining up for that to come into play. You got any questions on that before I? No, no, that's great. Let's let's move on. This is this is really good stuff. So please keep us up. So the crude oil before I start with the crude oil, actually, I just want to highlight something in the cracks here. So the the unleaded gasoline is really leading. Actually, let me back up one minute here. I'll get to those in a second. Anyway, we rallied up here. We held exhaustion up above near the highs and we've rolled over a bit. Let me just pull up the analysis. Sorry, lost my chart there for a second. Excuse me. So the trade below 8088 right here, this formation. This is a spread. This is a spread, right, Mark? What's that? This is spread. This is actually crude oil outright. OK, OK, good. Let me just let me just back up a bit because it's been a little bit since I was on last time. So just you. So on 327, we left the bullish reversal below and many of you will remember that. I talked about that right in here. This was the bullish reversal right here on this day. We left that right here. We saw really nice move to the upside and that brought in $12 and 57 cents from the 7081 open. And then the trade above 7487, that brought in another $8.51. That was the break above this line right here. In fact, I think we were on the show, Larry, when we popped above here that day and then we just jumped right up. And then we took out this major formation in here. And I said that we had a projection to the upside of $15, but we only saw $3.65 out of that before holding exhaustion, rolling over. And then once we took this formation out, that was put on hold as well. We've been seeing pressure there. And then this taking up this line right here, negated that $15 projection to the upside. And this warns that this is going to really come off in the days ahead. So we've come off for a couple of days here. We pulled back up to these levels, but I think that this is eventually going to roll over. Now it doesn't have a specific projection to the downside, but I'd expect at least coming down to 74, 72 would be pretty reasonable. And in the, the Brent actually was a, was a warning because it had failed below a formation up in here. I came in around 8645, which I said originally said this, this was should see pressure. And then the ARBAB actually held an exhaustion area on the highs. What's the difference between the Brent and the WTI West Texas? Well, they're just different contracts. The Brent is off of the oil and the Brent C up there. And WTI is based off of the pricing down in the West Texas Intermediate. Is one a premium oil over another? No, they're just, well, there's a premium of one over another because of the, the distance costs and the shipping costs and shipping costs. Okay. All right. Good. But here the Brent or the ARBAB broke below a formation up here, seen a really nice move down and also left a significant or a moderate term bearish reversal above that warned of pressure for days. So we've been seeing some of that. We broke back up into the gap right here. But if we leave this maintain gap higher on the day that I'll leave a minor bullish reversal below that I want a higher trade, but we really got to take out 261.31 to give it more validity. If we can't take that out, it does run the risk of rolling back over. And the heating oil and the gas oil were really the ones that started this move to the downside. They were the ones that, that gave the warning that this was going to come off. You highlighted that the last time you were on the air to be aware of that because I remember very vividly that we spent some time talking about that. That was a really great call. Thank you. Yeah, I've rolled into the June contract, but the May contract had a line that went sort of like this in here, something like that. And we broke them below this, pulled back up towards a stop, took out another formation, took out another one. And so this was warning that that's what's kind of interesting again about when you're looking at the spectrum of these. That's why I always say, you know, some people say, well, I want to I want to trade crude because it's liquid and gold and the S&Ps and they don't really give much spot to the gasoline or the heating oil. But you have a huge advantage by paying attention to what's happening in these products because they're dictating, you know, most of the time what the direction of crude is going to, you know, where it's eventually going to wind up. And so when this failed back down below this formation, that was on April 3rd. Wow. Okay, let's take a break here. Get back. We have some more with Mike Moore. And at the end we want to hear more about his automated trading program. We'll be right back, folks. More analytics. Mike Moore.

Go ahead, Jeff, ask your question to Mike. Okay, thank you. Thank you, Mike. Yeah, real simple question. I was looking for, or I cannot find a mini-contract for heating oil. I was able to find a mini-contract for natural gas, but I can't find one for heating oil. I was wondering maybe if you're aware of one. I don't think they have mini-contracts for the heat in the Arba, but I might be wrong. No. I think that I know they have them for the natural gas and crude oil. Yeah, natural gas. You can go on the CME website though. Go on cmegroup.com. Yeah, I did. I searched through there very carefully. I have the mini for crude oil and I have the mini for natural gas, but I couldn't find one for heating oil. So you're not aware of one either, so I guess there isn't one. Yeah. Okay, a real simple question. Thank you very much. Yep. Thanks for calling in, Jeff. Please continue, Mike. Thank you, Larry. Thank you, Jeff. Yeah, but even if you can't trade the heating oil, so you can make more money on the downside in the heating oil when it's becoming off, right? But even if you can't trade the heating oil, it's a benefit to you in trading the crude because it's giving you a heads up that things aren't working out well in the crude. So in here, this was chopping upwards like this while the crude was rallying and the Arba was rallying. And this day here on February 4th or 3rd of the 4th, we failed below this formation and it couldn't take the top of it back out and then we failed below another one and another one. And if you look at the crude, you know, the crude from the 3rd, you know, we've broken above this massive formation at $15 projection to the upside on the 3rd of the 4th and it actually made higher trade. But the fact that the heating oil broke back down below its formation was giving you a warning that, hey, this may not hold up. And it eventually started capitulating, capitulating, and capitulating. And now all of it's pointed back down to the downside. So anyway, that just goes to show you the power of understanding some of these. And this is the crack right here, the heating oil crack, which is a spread between the two. And you can see just the financial difference in a couple of weeks is over five grand per contract. And likewise, the gas crack has had massive move down too. They left a moderate bearish reversal above right in here, right on the close right there. And you can just see in there, that was five grand just over four days as well. So just knowing which. So in other words, I'd said, like in my post market the other day that you would likely make more money being short, the unleaded gasoline and being short, either the heat or the crude. And you can see right there that the maximum that that went your favor was 4,800 per contract. So, and that's with all your risk being relatively equal. Now, these are the contracts that you trade for the automated trading program. The spreads and things like that, correct? Yes, sir. Now, when you put an order in, it's a batch order. In other words, a whole bunch of counts go in and each one of them is allocated. One unit is or two or three, whatever they request. Well, it's a letter of direction. So there's a brokerage firm that that executes those BTR futures executes those in the accounts of their clients. Okay. So they just mirror them in their accounts, whatever, whatever they sign up for, if they want to do a one lot or two lot or three lot, they just pay per contract and they mimic those trades in their accounts. We had a question from one of our listeners in Wichita, Kansas this morning.  Can you stop it at any time? Well, there's a three, there's like a three month sign up to begin with. And then it just goes monthly. Okay. But let's say you start on the July 2nd and on July 4th, you decide you don't want to do it anymore. Can you stop?  It's just a three month sign up fee. That's all. Otherwise. Okay. All right. People jump from account to account. No. That's what he was asking. Okay. Please continue, Mike. Go ahead. Yep. Okay. So, and this is the Arbob crack. We broke below a formation up here. And then we broke below a major formation in here, which suggests that this thing is really headed to the downside. Even though we've rallied up a bit here, I think overall it's going to roll over more. Did you want to look at the S&P or the gold? Absolutely. Absolutely. Look at the S&P. And also if you have any time, maybe take a look at gold. Okay. Sorry. I got my robot running around out there on the floor. I hope it's not making too much noise. No, we can't hear anything. It's fine. All right. So this is the S&P we've run up into a full fledged just to back up a little bit. We held exhaustion below at 39, 39 and a quarter. We rallied 259 into a bullish trend against the move down from 4208 and all of that's on hold right now. I said, we held the exhaustion above at 41, 98 and a quarter. We rolled over 61.25 into a likely medium term bearish correction of trend. I said, if so, the minimum target would be 40, 61, 75. So that would be down into this level down in here. We have not hit that yet, but we've broken below multiple different formations here and then another one here. We can see a break below this and a break below here and then a pullback up towards a stop and then a break below here pullback again and we're rolling over. But we held exhaustion right in here at this blue line for the past few days. Now it's trying to figure out what it's going to do. If it takes out this formation, then it should capitulate further to the downside. If it takes out this upper formation here, then I think we're going to have a run maybe towards the highs again to test above. We just pulled that back up. Sorry, I should take these distractions out of here while I'm on. So a projection, a break below that lower formation will project this down with 30 minimum, 136 plus maximum. Oh no, I'm sorry, that's the projection from this line right here. So we've already attained 30.25 of that and a little bit more this morning. This is a trade above 4162.90, minus 50 per hour starting at 8 o'clock. I said that would project the software. I didn't give a specific projection, but at least 30 handles. So yeah, we're basically just trying to determine here, is this going to be a deeper bearish correction against this move up or is this just a shallow, temporary pullback before heading higher? But right now I'm bearish in general right here. Okay, how about the gold market? The gold was in a bearish correction from when we held that exhaustion area we talked about perfectly up here on the upside. That was with, I'm sorry, that's the SP, at 2062.5 to 2063.40 with the 2063.40 high we rolled over 82.5 and we took out another formation in here brought in 53.6 of pressure and then the trade below 2013 projects this downward 17 minimum 100 plus maximum. So we've seen 32 of that so far before short covering off the low. We did held an exhaustion right in here, had an exhaustion below at 1981.30 to 1973.30. We held that with the 1980.90 low and rallied 32.8 before rolling over. So we basically held this formation. We broke below it, pulled back up, came off, held an exhaustion, rallied up to again and rolled over. So I think that this is probably going to continue to head lower. Okay, let's take a little break and we come back and I want to ask you a couple more questions about the letter of intent. Okay? Yep. We'll be right back folks. Mike Moore, more analytics.

We're talking with Mike Moore and more analytics and we have one more clarification on this automated trading thing. In other words, if a person signs up for $150 or for three months, that's $150. And then they can stop anytime they want. But that subscription is good for three months and then it renews each three months. Is that correct? So the minimum sign up will be $450. $450, OK, all right. That's what I wanted to know. Three month period on the front end, that's all. And then after that, you can do it month to month. OK, all right. That's good. That's fair enough. That's really cheap. I mean, that's an example. I mean, we're just taking information on these right now. We haven't priced them out exactly. Oh, OK. All right, how do they reach you, Mike, if they want to have interest in doing something like this? What's the best way for them to reach you? You can go to more analytics.com and sign up there.

Listen, thanks for joining us, buddy. And next week, when I get a week after this, when I get back, we'll have you on again, OK? I got a pretty nice trade right here, if you want me to tell you about it before you jump in. Fireweight, let's go. Let's go. OK, gold right here is just breaking below this formation, but it hasn't fully broken below it yet. Comes in in 1991-50 at 230 and increases one tick per hour. If we see a decent break below there, it's going to project this down with 35 minimum, 85 plus maximum. And a decent break below there would be around $14. And you'd have to risk $14 back above. Likewise, if we break below it decently and back above it decently, that should bring in short covering with the meaning that we're probably going to run back up these areas up here at 2024, maybe even behind us. Hey, thank you, my friend, to live every day in an attitude of gratitude and may God bless. We'll see all folks, may God bless.


What are some of the little details that are really similar to real-life NASCAR racing? I was so amazed with not just the cars and the things, but the background stuff, the things on the dirt track at Thomasville Speedway when they were doing the practicing. The way that that clay looks and cracks and the landscape behind it, that's exactly the way those old racetracks look and the way the red clay in North Carolina cracks like that is really, really amazing how they got it to be so exact. How do you get that so exact? Lot of research. We have an amazing team at Pixar obviously and amazing eye for detail and when we do our research trips and we come to places like North Carolina you realize the sky is different, the clouds are different, the dirt, everything is different when you travel in the U.S. as a big country and so we really pay attention to those things and it's not just photo research it's really going and touching that ground and feeling it and doing it. That's the only way you can really get that stuff right. Oh there's so many. We try to do everything we could and any time a decision has to be made and we have to create everything from scratch so we might as well create it factual. There's a moment where cars are on a treadmill and they're exercising and their engine sound is coming up and there's little graphics on their little screens that show their speed and their RPMs and we made sure we matched where would those RPMs actually be on a car like them in real life to make sure it's in line with their speeds. Even our Skywalker sound people went down to Jay Leno's garage because he had a Nash and so the sound of the car starting and the exhaust sounded like the Nash in Louis Smith's car. All the cars, as much as possible, every one of the historic cars are being recorded the actual real cars so that their engine would be as accurate as possible. The way the cars were but the way the trucks were, the way the stadiums were, the racing stadium that they raced in that looked like Bristol, Tennessee and Daytona and Charlotte all rolled in the one, the interaction between the drivers and in this case the interaction between the cars between Lightning McQueen and Cal Weathers and everybody that came along and the respect for the history but I think just the interaction was the detail that got me the most I thought oh my god I'm standing here talking to a bunch of other drivers that's just cars talking to cars but it was really cool. Did you notice the same relationships you have with those people in real life? The cars had them as well. Yes and that was the cool part because it was like if I'm mad at you and you're mad at me in real life if we were cars we'd be mad at each other too so it was that that part really was and to watch to watch that develop to go back in time and watch the history of it with Mr. the King who is my father in real life to watch him and then to watch Lightning McQueen and to come on to where we're at it was pretty pretty cool. So I'm here with Daniel Suarez who is not only a NASCAR champion but also the voice of Daniel Suarez in car 3. I would love to know what it's like to see yourself as an animated car on a big screen. Something very good you know to have the opportunity to race race cars for living every weekend and as well obviously to to have my debut you know in the big screen with with Pixar with a car street movie something fabulous you know I grew up as a as a kid watching all these movies. How does racing in an animated movie compare to racing in real life? Well it is different it is different for sure but you know just racing in there and a lot of people working with me to try to make my race car just a little bit faster and a little bit faster. Engineers, speed crew, the change in tires and fuel in 10 seconds just like Louis does in the in the movie so it's very cool to see all these interactions in the movie and to see the real life how it works. So it's actually a bit more realistic than you'd think? I think it is and actually if you think about it my character is one of the new upcoming drivers in the movie and the real life I'm actually in exactly the same point I won the championship last year in the in the middle division of NASCAR and NASCAR Xfinity series and now we're in the Cup series so I feel like we're in exactly the same spot.


Passion I will not be able to say it with the same vigor as you would in terms of telling us what you do at live space, but What is interesting about him is that I believe that in this lifetime? This generation is going to see all shades of his career You're going to be a professional at some point of time You're going to be an entrepreneur at some point of time You're gonna be an investor at some point of time and maybe there's a fourth thing Which I also don't know what it's gonna be, but he's already done it He's done all the three and so he's gonna tell us a little more about himself and let's start with how old you are Well, I'm in my late 30s, so I didn't get the 35 under 35 He missed it With that description you should actually call my mother because she still thinks that there's a lot that needs to be done So going back to a little bit about myself My name is Anuj. I'm the CEO and one of the co-founders for live space my co-founder RK Ramakan Sharma, many of you guys know one of the more prolific angel investors in India Was part of the founding team for Minthra. So build an amazing business which And similar success is being emulated by Zalingo, right? It's outstanding what they've done actually in Southeast Asia little bit about live space and It's almost like I call it dudes doing home design right, so When but if if Live space, I mean simplistically it is India's and Southeast Asia's largest interiors renovation kitchens so forth and so on largest brand and platform experience and While for the consumer it is actually You know a very classic problem like I've just bought a home and I'm renovating my home or I've bought a home And I want to rent it out so I want to get stuff done in my home and Traditionally they would actually go to a contractor to get all of this stuff done Today you actually have an end-to-end experience called live space that you can actually go to and transform your home So the vision of the company really if you see is real estate transformation and one day it'll be this right, so Our vision is not really limited by the fact that we've started with consumers and their homes We feel that any space any real estate space for them to live in that space play in that space Sell in that space enjoy work in that space that space needs to be transformed and to be made useful for its occupants Right, so that's the idea behind the company. So, you know coming out of Google. It's a it's a great company to be in You worked in Kora you worked in Google What sort of changed in you in order to become an entrepreneur what you know It's fun to work in Google right and it's not so much fun to do your own start-up So how did you sort of make this shift? How did you decide to go from a professional to an entrepreneur? So look I come from the era when There was no Android right and YouTube was full of like cat videos So yes, I remember like YouTube was this building in a place called Saint Bruno close to San Francisco Maybe you've been there and then all the videos out there used to be like people taking Small snapshots of their cats really and those are some of the most popular content So the internet has obviously evolved and this is not that long ago. Actually. This is like, you know, 2006 7 so if you see even a place which is believed to be as transformative as in Francisco 10 years ago wasn't that evolved right and I think We sort of uniquely live in a time where and because of The amount of capital it takes to start new ideas an appreciation for risk-taking right and I call it sort of the three F's of building a company which is funny Which is like, you know, it always takes a fool to build a company Right, it takes another fool to buy the stuff that you're building and it actually takes another fool to fund it Right and which is very interesting. So all of these vectors were actually a property Fine But I'm saying well, I'm similarly calling myself one So the ecosystem and its depth was actually available in San Francisco, Tel Aviv, Shanghai and whatnot I think the beauty is that today that ecosystem is available in India as well, right? It's completely okay to build great companies and have a great vision It's actually okay for people to buy some of that stuff and be early adopters and come work for you equally It is actually absolutely appropriate for somebody to actually fund your vision, right? And you know 2014 I didn't want to be an Indian who left India and went to the US and look at a Phenom called what's happening here and missed the boat, right? So it was actually some of those inspirations and ideation of course running into my co-founder was, you know a chance journey and Things come together because of serendipity, but once when you actually recognize the opportunity you jump at it I totally agree. So, you know He's in fact invested in more startups.  You can actually be awake 24 hours a day and No care to the world. You can just build your dreams But when you're like funded to that an extent, you know, it's a huge responsibility and Running on adrenaline and running on responsibility are two different things. Sure. It doesn't give I mean the spark might be huge But the responsibility is bigger So how do you sort of make sure that the monies that come in the investor money that comes in is Wisely used. How does it get deployed? How do you evolve as an entrepreneur once the money start moving into your organization people start buying into your vision? What is it that changes? And I think we were talking about this thing and you were telling me your personal experience as well And I think many of the folks here would be feeling that, you know, given your companies are evolving is that and Think of a story like think of entrepreneurs like Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page You know the guy you found at Square and whatnot Twitter same guy See they at their times they were playing two different roles when they actually started their company They were like, you know, visionary and charismatic entrepreneurs founders who are able to create an idea attract investors Their first set of people, you know would come and work for them as their ideas evolved and they capitalized and raised more money A naturally great entrepreneur has to evolve right and you would have seen that in your role as well I see it every day, which is you have to literally wake up Every other day and fire yourself from the previous job that you're doing and be ready for the next job that you should be ready for so I was telling you this anecdote about this gentleman who's sitting next to me on a flight and And I got thinking about that. So today live space has, you know, a little over a thousand people And I was telling something to this this person who works for me the other day is, you know When was the last time that I ran a thousand person company? Never So if you see the experience that someone like me brings to the table when you're actually facing an opportunity that is Multi-tens of billions of dollars wide could arguably take phenomenal amount of capital and you know Can inshallah one day be tens of thousands of people You have to realize that the responsibility vested in you because of you know A vision that you or your co-founder or a bunch of people came up with is so enormous that you have to continuously invest in your own journey So you have to upgrade yourself every day You have to have a team that is able to upgrade yourself every day And you know, you shouldn't be afraid of failures and all that and I think you said a great thing Which is like, you know great startups one day become great companies You know Facebook is a 15 year old company Only as of yesterday and look at where it is right now and guess who's the founder in the CEO? It's the same guy now this person has evolved massively his team has evolved massively, but the velocity of thinking The vision that he created and it's sort of the bullet deep ability in thinking beyond the infinite. It just hasn't changed You have to maintain those three things. So what is your current role? I'm the CEO of my company But you know you and the company's what three and a half is already in its evolution, you know in a true sense that we went to market So you're still setting a Lot of the vision work for the company and as I say like Companies that evolve on an every day every week every month basis Really are the ones that are ready for the future So there's a lot of your role which is still like the founder that you were right So you still continue to inspire paint the big picture make sure that people are Continue to be to be invested and excited about the the idea that you came up with it's it's funny that For those of you who are doing their own companies You almost every day have to wake up and be the most excited person in your company, right? And it has a huge emotional toll on you obviously So there is sort of the dark side of being an entrepreneur, but as your company scale and they start doing well in Organization evolves and new people come in new cultures come in I think your role evolves from being a founder to a CEO, right and the CEO is about You know there's something called fiduciary responsibility So you as a CEO report into the board that actually have lots of great investors and they've actually invested With lots of money behind you So you have the responsibility to actually represent the board well you have the responsibility to drive returns Because partly their shareholder is a company you have to make sure that you actually uphold the values and culture of a company You also own a business plan that you have to deliver to right so your role actually massively evolves from someone who was actually able to Create the zero to one spark in a company and excite people To actually someone who's not gonna take it from 10 to 100 and you know God willing one day infinity very very different roles So I have the onerous task of actually playing to both these roles right now And you're doing it quite well, let me tell you that So You know you're an investor yourself So when you meet startups, what are the three pieces of advice that you give to them? You know when you fund them or when you mentor them or when you sort of tell them what should be the way forward? And it's something also that you believe in strongly. It's not just for them But you believe in it's your value system. I think first and foremost it's really The founders belief in the idea, right? I mean if you aren't the most passionate person behind that idea and you haven't thought it through then it will never come across So that's one and and believe you me the startup industry has evolved massively, right? So the strength and the capability of entrepreneurs and their ideas is no longer the way it was in 2015 in this part of the world so The the first and foremost advice is make sure that you've done substantial amount of thinking, you know before you're actually out in market That's one. I think Look things will go wrong things will evolve So as an investor who sort of seen the market a little bit and I've invested in the US and Southeast Asia in India quite a lot to have seen that It's really really really the team that you invest in like and there's a there's a there's a rule of investing which says Great markets great ideas great teams, right? So it's almost like great markets somewhat of an okay idea great team will actually invest, right? But phenomenal market phenomenal execution weak team you'll never invest, right? And I've seen that time and again between ideas that have worked out well and ideas that haven't The third thing is the most important which is phenomenal teams will phenomenal companies. They will figure it out, right? So I'd say that's the second which is believe in yourself believe in your idea But believe in great teams and you know third which is very very very very very important its speed, you know, so like I think teams that are able to Develop and take their ideas and test them in the market at the fastest pace and learn and go along are really the ones That have succeeded when you've seen it coming again, right? Look at Oyo and the innovation that they're driving look at Ola Uber Zalingo, I mean these are all great examples of Entrepreneurs that had great founding teams and they were actually able to test their ideas enough in the market And they were actually able to kind of grow beyond. Yeah, I'd say those three I'm gonna ask you this one final question and this is an interest to everybody who's present in this room So your business model was based on aggregating the home designing community To sort of get them together and they could actually build of instead of just thinking in silos and small bits They could all think together on a great platform today a lot of small businesses in India medium businesses in India are trying to transform They're trying to go through the digital journey, which is about building digital commerce They're trying to get new ways of learning. So what is it that you would want to tell them as they go along this journey? What is it that you think that you have tangibly done for the designer community, which everybody could learn from? Yeah, actually you'd be surprised. So I was actually in another conference in the morning Radically different from this setup and I think I'm overdressed for this occasion It was a Credi event. It's a government event and but you know the messages are so consistent Right that whether it is and it was a developer events of builder community It's sort of relevant to me or or the question that you sort of sort of asked if you see What technology and internet has done is really really really make the small business and the small business owner very successful Right, so whether it is an app developer on Android or it is a design partner in our community Or is it an older driver or it's a supplier on flipkart, etc. etc. etc Adoption of those platforms has really brought in new business steady-state payment. No loss of margin Or a trust building so my request and inherent appeal to Businessmen who are sort of in the smaller and medium-sized is really adoption of technology and adoption of technology Time and again, it's been proven that that's the transformative engine that that that'll actually leave frog them because Today as a small business owner and I've sort of seen that many times over that neither Do you have the power of access to buy? Right or negotiate and whatnot what technology actually enables is actually weeds away the crap in the value chain Right and actually puts you up front and center where the actual war is happening in front of the customer Right, so my request is and my appeal is that as a small and medium business owner It's actually okay to go through the transformation of utilizing and adopting the most relevant technology to your business right with its ERP or Amazon, you know or what I do or so forth and so on but I think that is really the The paths to freedom. That's really what's growing India. That's really what grew the US It's actually the ability of technology in the internet to make the small business person like really successful Super great talking to you ladies gentlemen a big round of applause and I do feel that you know you you got you got the next story to be written right there in India And all the very best to you as we grow forward We love to see great things coming from your stable an organization becoming much much bigger than what it is today Thank you. Thanks for having me over Thank you, Ritu. Thank you, Anuj. That was really insightful and Now let's up the ante I would like to invite us soon to be unicorns for a panel discussion on making of future leaders. I Would now like

i'll probably go ahead and do april's too and all of that jazz so tomorrow's going to be kind of a busy day i'll be back good morning everybody it's 10 12 am monday february something i don't know let's see 26 um i did all the non fun stuff well not all of it most of it chores dishes laundry cleaned and rearranged the kitchen counters that's going to confuse mr bob but you know needed to be done updated the family calendar rearranged some appointments um mr bob's got to make some phone calls today yeah so i need to edit the vlog still i need to work on the march april daily drawing sketchbook and the march and maybe april social media posts and patreon posts um and posts in rt trio which i'm always forgetting till the last minute and then i'm gonna start taking some of my hexagons and seeing if i can lay out a pullover type sweater maybe something with a little bit of a turtleneck maybe um otherwise i'm just gonna start sewing it together and making a blanket i don't know but anyway first i'm gonna sit here and watch some youtube and finish my coffee which i still haven't done yet all right let's get that done i'll be back okay guys so my iphone which i film on most of the time is no longer syncing to my desktop iMac via bluetooth so i have to plug it in which we are right now and try to get the video footage from here to there which plugged in over a chord takes five times longer than over bluetooth why i don't know the iCloud like the two aren't syncing at all iCloud's not working like or i shouldn't say that it is working but it's super slow probably because of the desktop is really old but that's the thing so anyway we will get that done at some point today hopefully then i have to work on the word lists and posts at least for march first all right i'll be back okay guys so it's after six i keep doing this but i don't have my fitbit on today um i just know it's after six let's see six thirty five and i just got two more crochet patterns written and they will be posted later on tonight i think to patreon or sometime tomorrow i have my hexes half hexes and triangles safety pinned together to form a sweater which i will be trying to start sewing together tonight um all the little pieces are all safety pinned together it's going to be one of those projects with five million like ends to hide but what are you going to do anyway i'm going to try to hide what i can as i'm sewing things together which is i think a smart idea but we'll see and um i've got this giant pile of stuff i've got to take downstairs that all this um got my sketchbook for march ready all the things i made some copies out of a library book and my pile of granny squares hexagons and stuff is like it's big but anyway we're gonna go downstairs now i think it's time it's black outside we had a couple bouts of sunshine and the rest of it was like hail snow and pouring rain like just somebody dumping buckets on the house it's the weirdest thing anyway all right i think that's it for the minute yeah i can't think of anything else and there's probably stuff downstairs that i haven't gotten done yet but we'll go do it now i'll be back hey guys so it is tuesday morning not baby sitting today baby sitting tomorrow and thursday um i think it's just before just before lunch i think anyway i spent last night and this morning crocheting my hexagons together along with a few of the half hexes and rectangles to create a sweater hold on and it's looking pretty good yes i have five million of these to tie off and weave in which i'll be doing after lunch i don't want to start on the bottom they'll be ribbing on the bottom the neckline and then i'm going to actually add a few rows probably of granny stitch to the sleeves before i do a cuff even for me they're a little bit short so i'll probably do like three or four inches and then put a cuff um i think that's the easiest way rather than doing some more jigsaw puzzling with the granny hexes to try to get it a better length anyway and i think for the neckline i might do a turtleneck i don't know we'll see um but yeah it's looking pretty good i am going to call it my chaos sweater i do attach my um granny squares hexagons whatever usually with single crochet through the back loop and then you get this sort of look which i really like and i used one of i was going to use a plain yarn i decided we're already calling it the chaos sweater so a little color doesn't make any difference so i used one of the variegated ones i had one that had this blues creams and grazing it um and i used the leftover of the pinking oh excuse me pink and yellow one oh shivers um i did that to sew things together so it's looking pretty good but now we've got to i have to do something about all the loose ends before we do any ribbing or anything else so but first lunch i'll be back okay you guys so i don't normally do this but i mean wearing turtlenecks but i just finished i spent the afternoon crocheting i mean i should have been running errands and going dropping off books at the library and stuff like that but anyway that's not what happened it took me like an hour and a half or two hours to weave in all the thread ends that i had to start with now i've got a few new ones but anyway i got that done then i started working on the collar first sort of playing yarn chicken because i have of the three colors of bloom i have i have one color that i don't remember the name right now but i'll put it right here um that's a little planer than the others i was going to use that for the cuffs and collar because this sweater is so busy i know i'm calling it my chaos sweater but yeah um so i spent the day doing the collar first because i know that was probably going to be the biggest piece of ribbing because i kind of wanted to do it as a turtleneck even though i just said i don't really wear them that often i might need to wish that it snows again i'm not done yet but how cute is that you guys i mean i haven't shown the husband yet but i like it i don't even ski or anything because oh i'm not allowed to do dangerous things i'm too clumsy yeah it's on i don't think so list but i could see sitting out on the patio somewhere where it's snowy with a couple hot chocolate wearing this i mean you know super cute okay now to finish it we've got to do the sleeves i added four rows to the bottom of everything that was going on on the sleeves four rows of sort of a granny type stitch i thought that was better than playing hexi puzzling um when you lay out a sweater like that this it's sort of like doing a jigsaw puzzle you have to first of all you need to know your measurements and or have a mannequin that's approximately your size which i do and i pin started pinning the hexis uh to the mannequin and then figured out i needed a few half hexis and triangles to make it work um and i i used the you know fancy like sewing clips initially and then i took it off of the before i took it off of the mannequin i decided to switch to something much more affordable cheaper it's the thing i have 20 tons of safety pins you guys can just use safety pins once you get it all um safety pin together then you can pull it off your mannequin or pull it off the table and start turn it inside out and start sewing it together it's all it's really that easy but how cute is that i'm really enjoying making my own clothes that's not bad is it okay i'll be back hey guys it is thursday uh i don't even know the 29th yeah the 29th um it's about lunch time i don't think i filmed it all yesterday um i was babysitting yesterday as i am today if you hear noises in the background we're sitting here having lunch trying to eat our bananas um there was just a lot going on yesterday with um bob's mom's passing and everything else and there's it's going to be a hectic couple of weeks i'm not sure how much of them it i'm going to get filmed and i don't know when the vlog's going to come out um i'm going to respect privacy and not film too much but uh yeah so just bear with me um i'll try to get something out on time but anyway i did spend last night working on the next cardigan sweater project part of which i'm going to film for youtube and i've already written a pattern for patrons and supporters um so that's ready to be filmed i got done in advance what i wanted to so hopefully i can get that done before we leave for california somebody needs to eat his bananas yes okay so anyway um that's all that's going on at the minute tomorrow is family dinner and then um we have some errands to run we've got to pick up a few things for california we leave a week from today so there's kind of a lot to do before we do that so anyway anyway anyway yeah so anyway i am going to enjoy the moments like this one while i can and i'll be back okay grandson has gone home and babysitting is over for the week they will be over of course for family dinner tomorrow but i won't be babysitting they're just over to have dinner anyway um so i am going to put the diaper changing station away and then start working on a new sweater project so anyway all right that's it for the minute hey guys i was just putting my crochet away for the evening um bob is off at his masonic meeting and um i'm doing a new pattern it's called the boyfriend sweater or the boyfriend cardigan i'll link the pattern down below so far so good but i barely got started um but i want to talk to you about is i had three of these karen blossom cakes in my stash of stuff and it's a cotton acrylic blend and we know my love hate relationship with the cotton but this is a blend 61 cotton 39 acrylic you guys i love the way it feels it's nice and stretchy it's not too heavy and the color the color of this one i love the color the color on this one is radiant rainbow and so yeah so pretty anyway i'll love the way it's turning out i'm working on the back piece first this one is not done in the round it does have seams but um yeah i like it so far so far so good it does look like it's a blown in fiber into a i don't know will it show you the mesh tube so i don't know if the tube is the cotton or the tube is the acrylic i don't know but i don't think i care it's machine washable and dryable not that i'll put it in the dryer but it's got a thumbs up for me is it thin enough to make a summer sweater out of i don't know i think good groundstone scratched me today oh that's great um i don't know but i do enjoy working with it and it is a good sweater for wearables so i yeah i'd love to get some more of it but we'll see all right i've been checking online at some different places and looks like nobody's got it in stock so there's that all right i'll be back good morning folks it is 10 18 a.m friday march first um i better check on my rc trio post it should have gone up a minute ago anyway uh obviously i'm in the car it takes me a few minutes now to get started because i got to figure out the radio every time but anyway um i woke up with a headache while neck egg this morning um probably from babysitting yesterday so for those that don't know 30 ish 31 almost years ago um i was in a head-on collision with a driver who ran a red light when i was pregnant with our daughter and um i still to this day have periodic problems with my neck today is one of those days so i started off my day with just sitting and chilling with coffee doing some stretches and then taking a nice long hot shower and then before i left the house just now having a couple of apricots dried apricots and then some calcium and some Tylenol i don't take those like on i have to at least have like a little snack or submit my stomach so anyway now we're gonna go out and run some errands grab some charcuterie pizza for tonight probably go thrifting because i've got time and all the things i'll be back when you have to go back and check your camera roll because you're not sure if you've logged that's probably not a great sign but anyway good morning everybody it's saturday morning it is i don't know what time it is let's see 10 26 a.m um i'm wearing my new sweater as you can see i love it it's the high today is going to be 40 degrees which might be a little warm for me to wear this sweater but i'm gonna wear it anyway um we're gonna go out thrifting this and antiquing this morning we they're having a charity book drive thing at my husband's masonic lodge for kids books so we're gonna go out and look for some books um we're gonna we're choosing to thrift or antique them rather than buy them new because that's what we do for lots of reasons but um um we can also buy a few more books that way so we're gonna go do that and then he's got a key to lodge building so we will leave the books at the lodge and put a note um we posted mom's obituary to social media this morning and it's being printed in local newspapers in california tomorrow um yeah it's been a weird week so and the next few weeks will be weird so that's going to be a thing anyway i'm going to probably end next week's vlog early probably on our drive down i'm not going to film any of the other stuff because that's just too personal i hope you guys all understand um but i will try to film some creative content for the vlog or separate i'm not sure as time allows before we leave so we'll see what happens but anyway loving wearing this i don't have and speaking of this i have a bunch of mini skeins upstairs of different natural fiber contents you know whether i do it on the road trip to california or not i am going i pulled them all off my storage today and i'm going to wind them into balls and i'm going to make hexagons with them and i'm going to turn them into maybe a cardigan i'm not sure yet but i'm going to i'm really getting the impulse that i want to do something like this with them so i'm going to do that they're all different colors some neutral colors some wild colors so yeah i like that idea so anyway i'll take you with us this morning we're going to go back to the little schoolhouse antique mall place that i went to with the girls last weekend there's a furniture place next door to it that i didn't go into so we might go in there we have this wall here in the family room with um the tv on it we kind of want to add well we me i kind of want to add bookshelves to the wall turn it into a library wall with storage on the bottom and books on the top still have thomas's things out here for right now but yeah so i don't know exactly how to accomplish that but going into the furniture part of the antique mall might give me some ideas so we'll see i don't know it's not why we're going out shopping today but you know all right and all the extra packaging materials from the etsy shop that i've saved i guess they're going to come in handy because we're bringing them to california to pack up the things that are coming back up north to organ with us from mom's house so this is a part of somebody passing by the way that i hate going through their things i really detest it but anyway all right that's it for the minute let's see what kind of fun stuff we can get up to before dealing with all that other stuff all right i'll be back okay bob's downstairs watching tv and as you saw i was winding up some mini skeins that i've been collecting honestly for a while and they're all wool wool blend yarns um marino and summer marino and silk and summer i think just wool hang on i'll look summer marino and silk and some are superwash wool and nylon they're thin yarns usually intended for socks curses is me it's not what i'm going to do with them i'm actually going to make some little oh let's be real probably hexagons i probably should do squares but probably not going to anywhere i'm going to do them out of these fancy yarns i'm gonna um my goal is i think we're going to be doing a lot of traveling coming up um not just for the obvious um bob's mom's estate and stuff um and my goal is to collect like a mini skein from each place we go if possible and assemble them into some kind of a little sweater t-shirt cardigan something like that we'll see what happens with it but i like the idea of having these little small balls of kind of unique yarns and making them into something wearable so i probably will do that and um it all fits in a little project bag which i can bring with me on the road that's going to be a good road trip um project uh along with the cardigan i'm currently working on downstairs if i'm not done with that so hold on hold on i know all all right so that's all done um i'm gonna late start today and um there's there's a lot to do you guys there's a lot to do meanwhile my office my table is kind of a mess there's yeah i've got that i'm gonna get done what i can before we leave but there's just no way i'm gonna get it all done so we'll see what happens i am babysitting tuesday and then the kids and us are all driving down and uh yeah anyway i wish i could say it's been a fun week there's been fun moments there's been joyful moments there's been funny times when we remember things about mom i called her mom um that made us all laugh um there's been shocking moments where we paid for the obituary and discovered how much it was sandals a mercury news what are you doing oh my god so expensive if you know you know oh my god um but anyway it we're still standing we're still strong we're still together as a family and i'm going to do what i can to support bob um in his time and if you guys have any tips or tricks for me let me know um he's been this through this with me a few times i've only done this with him once when his dad passed and as i remember it i didn't know what to do then things have not changed it's just not easy no wonder what what way you wrap your mind around it first you have the loss of the person and then you have all the estate and the paperwork and the legal stuff and thankfully his brother is like executor so he's handling a lot of it that doesn't mean bob has nothing to do so i'm just keeping busy and being supportive i think that's all i can do anyway give your loved ones a hug um try to do something good for yourself because you do deserve it and appreciate every moment don't forget to like share and subscribe relevant links and ways to support the free content of my

here are three amazing things that happen if you do avoid that volunteer amnesia. Number one is that you're going to be happy and you're going to be likely happier than your colleagues because both of you guys will go through the same experiences, but if things are good, you're going to make them even better by reflecting on them. On the flip side, your colleague is just going to perseverate on things not going well, build up anxiety, but never really come up with a solution in the future when that happens again, it likely will. Number two is that through reflection, you know what you want. Again, when I sit on the other side of an interview table, I often can tell that person with good confidence, this is what I want for internal medicine. This is what I want for cardiology. These are the experiences that have told me that and I don't have to do more convincing than just speak authentically about those experiences. Again, it shows off through your personal statements, your interviews, that's what you want. You don't want to be an inauthentic or feel like a cookie cutter applicant. And the best way to do that is reflect. That way you're convincing without trying to convince yourself that all of that you're saying is true. Number three, you just tend to be more relaxed.
