Hi, I'm Rusty Komori, and this is Beyond the Lines on Think Tech, Hawaii. I was the head coach of the Punahou Boys Varsity Tennis Team for 22 years, and we were fortunate to win 22 consecutive state championships. My books Beyond the Lines and Beyond the Game are about leadership, character, and creating a superior culture of excellence, which is what this show is all about. My special guest today is the head coach of the University of Hawaii women's water polo team, and her team won the Big West Championship this year. She is Maureen Cole, and today we are going beyond coaching. Hey Coach Moe, welcome to the show. Thank you so much for having me, I'm excited to talk with you. Now you have been creating such a great culture of excellence with your teams here in Hawaii, and I'm so excited to have you on the show and really talk about the insights about coaching and leadership and team building. But before we do that, can you talk to me a little bit about your background growing up? Sure. I grew up in Hawaii, went to a small school there through eighth grade, had a background in swimming. I had older brothers and a younger sister, both my older brothers coach and were primarily summers and went and swam in college. I went to Pono High School, from there went on to UCLA and attended college, and ever since then I've been back coaching for the most part at the University of Hawaii. Now Coach Moe, what got you interested in water polo? A ball rather than a black line. Now I swam since I can remember, and towards the end we used to put two water polo or two chairs and made them water polo goals and we used to just play around at the end of practice, maybe as I was becoming a teenager. And then when I went to Ponoho, it was the first time that they ever had a girls team, my freshman year, it was the trial year for women's water polo in high school and with a swimming background and the fact that I played team sports, I played soccer in high school too and growing up and I just love the team aspect of water polo and the fact that it's a game, you know, it was just a lot of fun. So I excited to be a part of that first first program at Ponoho and a long time ago, I won't date myself now. Now Coach Moe, I mean, treading water and swimming. I mean, that's tough enough already. I mean, let alone to play water polo and doing that as well.  Now, when you reflect back, what are some of the reasons why you guys won those three national championships? I think number one, we worked incredibly hard. We were fortunate enough to have a great, fiery young coach who now is the women's Olympic team coach. He's proven to just put teams together and win. And I think he made us really tough. I think he loved to compete and he put together players and our team just loved to compete. Everything was a game kind of similar to what I do here. I just I love everything being in competition and my family is the pool everywhere. Everything's always a competition. It just makes it fun. And I think he did a really good job of making us compete every day, working hard. And at the end of the day, we played for each other. It was just a really fun, fun environment. Now, Coach Moe, I wanted to ask you this.   And what are some details about why? He's definitely one of them. But Ken Smith, who was my first coach at the coach at Pinot High School, well, he impacted my life in a million different ways. And he's still someone I call at least once a month. And we talk all the time. But number one, I wouldn't be playing water polo if it weren't for him. I probably would have gone on to swim in college and he just, you know, opened up that opportunity for water polo. But I think the thing that sticks out the most with him is just he was the first coach to ever really focus on the mental side of the game. And he's kind of known as the John Wooden of water polo at Pinot High School. And actually, I mean, even the Olympic coach will have him do talks. And from 13, 14 years old, I can just remember making books and memorizing John Wooden quotes and focusing on being just mentally strong, positive self talk, all those things that now we definitely spent a lot of time at UH doing. I was introduced to all of that with Ken Smith. And it was a big part of what stuck with me and something that girls really aren't very good at. It takes work. No, I'm glad you mentioned coach Ken Smith. I know him for many, many years when I was at Punahoe. And and I have great respect for him and all of his accomplishments. But he, like you said, I mean, he's inspired so many so many boys and girls through water polo in the state of Hawaii and really developed a lot of Olympians, right? He's developed multiple Olympians and just so many great people. I mean, I just the trust and respect that you don't meet someone who doesn't respect and trust Ken Smith. He's just an awesome person and great role model to young boys and girls. Thankfully, he's still coaching. Oh, I totally agree with you. And and Coach Mo, what why did you first start coaching? What got you interested in coaching? I well, Ken Smith, actually, so at Punahoe, they had the Hawaiian Islands summer program and it was a summer job. When I was away to college, I'd come back and I started giving back and teaching intermediates and the younger girls, water polo. And I I love doing that. It was a lot of fun. Then I graduated from or actually before I graduated from UCLA, I took a year off for the Olympics and then I had one year school left, so I had a fifth year at UCLA and I was done with my eligibility. And so I was on scholarship and I came on as an undergrad assistant coach. And that was where I was for the first time on the on the deck instead of in the water for, you know, another NCA cycle, where we won the championship and I loved it. I love being a part of that just super high intensity and high level water polo. Then I graduated and I had no idea what I was going to do with my life. And I came home, had an office job for about six months, and I was not the happiest human in the world. And then the assistant coaching job at the University of Hawaii opened up and the first coach ever here, Sherry Smart, was also a part of my water polo career. And she gave me a call and she said, you know what, this is open. You have to apply for this. And at that point, I wasn't really sure what I was going to do. And I was kind of just trying to figure things out, like, all right, I'll apply. But never thought I was going to be coaching as a career. And here I am 15 years later, still doing it and loving it. Well, Coach Mo, you have created a superior culture of excellence with your teams. And can you share with me what your coaching philosophies are? Here, I think, well, number one, I just work really hard and I want everyone around me to work hard because I'm not the most talented coach. I wasn't the most talented player, but I think if you put everything you have into something and you love it, you're going to be the best that you possibly can be. And so that's a big part of it. But the question I asked myself, and that kind of guides me through trying to be the leader of this program, is just always saying, what's the best for the team? What decision? What's going to be best for everybody? Not what's best for me or what's best for the best player? It's what's best for the team? And I think by living by that question and asking myself that, as I make difficult decisions every day, a lot of the girls trust me and I'm not perfect. I make lots of mistakes, but they know that the intent and what I'm trying to do is respected. And and I ask everyone on the team to do the same thing. If you always make a decision and you ask yourself what's best for the team and you're doing that, it's a great guiding, guiding principle for me. Now, I like hearing what you said about hard work because hard work works and then how you said about, yeah, what's best for the team? I mean, that you can never lose sight of what's best for the team. And because if some of the players start to be thinking me, me, me, that that really starts to wear on the on the team aspect. And and I want to ask you, Coach Mo, how would you describe your coaching style? Say, I'm pretty intense. People around me say I'm a pretty intense person. I know that, but on the pool deck, I'm not a yeller during games. I'm not screaming and telling everyone what to do every second. I really think of myself and a lot of this comes from Ken Smith as just being a lifelong learner and trying to be a teacher. And in the water, there's a longstanding joke with the team every day. They always ask me, what should I do here? And I always say, my answer is always it depends. And there's so many different things that can happen. And you've got to understand the context of what's happening. And then that's going to help you understand why you're doing something. And then in a big West championship game, well, not this year, there was no crowd, but when it's really loud and you can't, you have to focus on each other and know what to do. You're not going to be able to hear my voice on the other side.  And so it's just a process of trying to teach them to see the game and be able to talk and communicate with each other. Well, yeah, no, that's the communication. Yeah, that's so, so key. And Coach Mo, you know, within the culture of excellence that you've had, why, how would you describe your team's identity? You know, what kind of qualities does your team have? And what other qualities do you want your team to have? Oh, there's a lot of every year we meet and we talk about we have words. And it's exactly that we say, if someone were to talk or look at us, how would they describe us and what's important to us? And after 10 years, the same words kept on popping up over and over. And one of them is come compete, like you've got to compete. And water polo is like you said earlier, brutal sport. You're kicking or wrestling or doing all these things. And you've got to do it against each other all the time, every day in practice. And you've got to be able to leave it in the pool, but compete and battle. Otherwise, you're not putting yourself in position to get better and respect each other. I think respect is a big one. Communicating is also super important. There's got to be a love for the sport, passion. If you don't love something, you're not going to be able to do it well. And kind of going through that with my son right now, he's a basketball guru. Like loves basketball, obsessed with basketball. All he wants to think about, talk about, he's been just progressing so well. And then he does soccer and soccer is a sport he does. But he doesn't love.  So I think that is something that I look for that our team loves, you know, loves the sport wants to be there every day. And then your attitude and having a good attitude and perspective. And there's that formula where there's an event plus basically your response. What what happens, there's always going to be something bad that happens and how you react to that is going to determine your outcome. And I think that's a big part of what I look for when I'm recruiting, watching people compete and what happens when they miss a shot. How do they respond? What's their body language and what's our body language going to look like? What are the opponents going to see when something doesn't go your way and focusing really on your response to adversity is a big one. Oh, I've done the same thing. I mean, I like watching players or athletes when when they make a mistake or an error or they lose a point, they lose a game to see how they respond. You know, it really shows a lot about their character. And and I talk about a lot of that in my books and Coach Mow, you have my books and I want to know if you like the books and if if you did, you know, what what stood out to you? You know, I enjoyed them. And I think that is exactly the one thing that I was like, yes, yes. I agree with that was when you talk about adversity and the fact that everyone in life is going to deal with something bad and it's your response to that and whether you get up and how quickly you can respond to that. And that that really says everything, because if you you're not defeated, if you keep going, you're only defeated when you stop. And I think you talk about that throughout one of the chapters. I just like, yes, because that just sums up this whole last year, year and a half, right, with covid is just one thing after another. And you can let it destroy you or bum you out. And how long are you going to let it bum you out before you get up and you figure out a solution and you keep moving forward? And I just think that's a big part of life. And for me, you know, I would focus a lot on on mindset because, you know, you need to look forward to challenges and adversities. It's inevitable. It's going to happen. And I know you do the same. And how do you what are your thoughts about the importance of having the right mindset in practices which will lead into games? So important, you know, you have different girls that come in here with different backgrounds where they're like their attitude in the beginning might be, I can just show up for practice, but I'm going to play better in a game and like, no, no, no, no, no, no. You practice how you play. And if you don't practice, well, you don't get to play. And so I think that that is basically being where your feet are is something we focus on. And, you know, when you walk through the doors of the Dukahonamoku Aquatics Complex, you're going to forget about your boyfriend or schoolwork and you're going to be present and be doing the one thing and just focus on doing water polo well when you're here and then you walk out. You can leave it and you can go focus on those other things. And if everyone does that, we can accomplish a lot of things and become pretty great. Yeah, the greatest athletes, I mean, they they compete the same in practice as they do in games. I mean, practices and games are the same.  And I want to ask you, Coach Mo, in terms of teamwork and building trust and having the girls support each other, how do you get your entire team to buy in to the team's goals? We talk about it. We communicate. I think that being on the same page and understanding each other, that's a big part of creating great culture. And this year, you know, a great example of just having to deal with something where everyone felt a little bit differently about covid. Some people weren't really bothered by it. Some people are really scared and we're playing this super physical sport where we're breathing on each other every second. And you have to have trust of what the person next to you is doing every day. And the only way you can gain that is through communication, having hard conversations and not being afraid of a little confrontation, but having the respect to continue to communicate and become a family. And I think that's that's really what it was this past year and what we strive to be. And when you do that and you're playing for your teammate, that's, again, where great things can happen. It's not when you're worried about yourself. It's when you're worried more about the person next to you. Yeah, like you said, open and honest communication. I mean, it's so necessary to have success and for everyone to be real with each other and then to really, like you said earlier, to help the team, what's best to help the team? And Coach Mo, what kind of activities would you have your team do outside of practices and games to really add to team bonding? We do a bunch of different things this year. I looked a little different, but we've done ropes courses. We've done, I've had everyone in my house where I gave them a budget and we did we have a bunch of girls from like a different country. So I said, everyone's going to make a different dish, something from New Zealand, something from Spain. And you guys got to cook 20 girls in one tiny little kitchen and you got to make it work and figure it out. And then we get to have this great dinner at the end. But the process of being able to communicate, get to a store on a budget, make all these different things. It's that was one of my favorites that we've done. We've done we go bowling. Just things to laugh and have a compete and do little things outside of the water, but just continue to develop relationships this year. We went to the West Side and had a nice ocean swim where we could be socially distanced and do it safe. So just different things where and you're continuing to form relationships because the team sport, it really is all about relationships. Then you can't just show up, practice every day and do that and think that in the end, you're going to have that background and foundation to be able to work together. It takes a lot of work outside the pool and we do that a fair bit as a team. And then our team does a great job of doing it even more together. And I think that's a big part of our success. No, I like hearing that. It's so good to do things outside of the normal practices and games like you do. And Coach Mo, this this year's Big West Championship, this is your fourth Big West Championship. And now that you've had some weeks to reflect back, why did your team win this year's Big West Championship in such a challenging year? I think it's exactly that. They they played for each other because if you look on paper at who we had and who we lost relative to some of the other teams, we were definitely not operating at 100 percent strength just due to off doubts and people doing different things this past year or leaving altogether because they wanted to go back home to their countries. But the people were here were 100 percent all in and played paid a tremendous attention to detail. And because we were such a small team, I think they've got really good at working well with each other and understanding how each person wants the ball. What to do in this moment and just being able to communicate really well in those in those moments. But it comes down to they loved each other. I mean, I've never seen a group so having so much fun.  But they had so much fun. And I think losing everything a year ago and then having it back, there is that appreciation. But they just they truly enjoyed each other and I wanted to do it and work hard for each other. And I think that that really set us up. And Coach Mo, when you went to the NCAAs this year, you played against your alma mater, UCLA, and you guys were were winning. And can you tell me about how close that game actually was?  It was a game, a very close game into half, and we were competing. And, you know, I think one of the parents, mom said, they were the better some team, we were the better water polo team. I mean, we were playing really good water polo and the depth just became an issue in the second half a little bit. But, you know, there are a couple of situations where the ball is going far and it just goes on the line. And if that would have been in, you know, they don't go down and counter the other way. It's a tied game going into the third, fourth quarter. And I just love the way it didn't even matter, though, what the score was at the end, we brought the goalie out. So it was a really close game. And we actually brought seven on six, which is a new rule towards the end. And then they got a couple of cheap goals at the end. But it was a really close game. And and even though we knew we had lost just the again, connection within our team and the respect for the game and each other to keep battling until the very last second, it just it was the I hate losing.  Like, I hate losing, but that was the best losing feeling I've ever had because I was just so proud of the group and how together they were and how hard they worked. And it was like, there's nothing really to be mad at. We did everything we possibly could. And it just it was a great process, a great journey. No, it's so funny. You said that you hate losing because I'm the same way. Winning is OK. But for me, I really hate losing. And it's I like that you said that.  What what do you think it's going to take for your team to win the NCAAs? I think we just got to keep progressing and getting a step further each year. And I think we've continued to do that. I'd be lying if I didn't say like talent matters. I mean, in college, you've got to recruit and have girls that can do athletic girls that can compete with the best girls in the world. I mean, there will be I don't know how many American Olympians that are coming back to college next year, and they're the number one team in the world. And we've got to be able to recruit and have some of those girls on our team. And we're getting those athletes. We have several alumni and one current player that is coming back this next fall that will be at the Olympics playing for Canada. So having those caliber athletes is is important. And then just focusing on getting one step further each year. I think John Wooden, it took him 15 years before he won his first championship. Like it doesn't happen overnight. And I just it's got to continue to trend in the right way. And the culture is so important. I think our team culture is strong and stronger than it ever has been. And we just got to keep continuing to get better each year.  And how did you overcome that? And I think, well, the one that sticks out the most was just this covid situation. And the last year and a half personally, also work wise, it was really hard for everybody. But I think having a support system is incredibly important and continue to work for solutions. I mean, a year and a half ago, we were 11 and two. We were at a we were on our way to having a great season. Probably, you know, going to be contending for a big West title, potentially an NCAA championship, one of the best teams we'd ever had. And then the rugs pulled out from under us like everyone a year and a half ago, and it's over. And and then the aftermath of that and not knowing what's going to happen and never having any answers. And we had girls not come back because they wanted to stay in Europe. It's too far and too dangerous. Then we have girls, you know, back in the fall that say, we don't know if we're going to have a season. So they're leaving and just continuing to work to find solutions. And it's exhausting. But I know what you talk about in your book. You're going to get knocked down over and over and over again. It's like, how quickly can you get up and figure out which way to navigate? And it's through hard work and communication and having a great husband or a great team, a great assistant coach that helps just continue to steer the ship in the right direction and figure out the moves. And I think they're just working through it this year and ending up with a big West championship. When if you would have told me that a year and a half ago that we would have had a season, you know, then games are getting canceled. What do you do then? I mean, there's just like trouble, like problem after problem after problem and just solution, solution, solution, keep finding it, keep working. And and then you get to the other side. Well, Coach Mo, you know, the greatest leaders continue to learn and which makes them become even greater. And I want to know what what are you doing to improve yourself as a coach and a leader to ultimately help, you know, improving your team every single year? I will water polo wise, we're on an island, right? So I'm limited in a lot of ways of what I can see, but I'm not anymore because of the internet. So from a coaching standpoint, I watch a ton of video. I watch different styles in Europe and I try to bring that back. I also communicate and listen to my team. We have so many girls from around the world and they do things differently than I was coached or I would ever do. But I try to stay open minded and create a team that's our best version of ourselves. And that means that I'm going to have to do things differently than I thought I was going to do or I used to do them because we have this different piece. And so it's really listening and watching our athletes helps me get better as a coach. And my, yeah, I'd say those are one of the main things. Yeah, and you have to, depending on the team and talent that you have, you know, you have to adjust and adapt to who you have and the type of strategies and tactics you'll use, right? Yeah, some things never change, but then some things have to change because of who you have. And if you stay firm and we only do it one way, it's not going to work consistently because, you know, there are injuries, there are strengths and there are weaknesses to every team. And you've got to figure out how to exploit other teams weaknesses and get the most out of your team. So it definitely changes. Coach Mo, before we wrap up, I want to ask you one more question. What's an important lesson you learned in life so far? And I think that life is not going to be you can work super hard. But you can't determine the outcome all the time. And bad things are going to happen. I mean, I, you know, we have had the best team and we've lost under those circumstances. And then we've had teams that, you know, aren't the best and we we win. And you just, you never know what's going to happen in the end, but you've got to keep going. Personally, things have happened in my life that are really, really hard. I had a couple of late miscarriages at 20, 21 weeks.  And now I have a beautiful five year old daughter and things just aren't always perfect, you know, but you get through things and then you're stronger for them and just got to keep working. But you definitely can't, can't control everything. But you can control your response. Coach Mo, I have to, I totally appreciate you sharing, you know, a lot of these insights and being very personal right there at the end as well.  And I think we're just so fortunate to have you as one of our coaches here in Hawaii and I want to thank you for taking time to be on the show today. Thank you so much for having me. I'm so appreciative to be here and to be coaching at the University of Hawaii. And thank you for watching Beyond the Lines on Think Tech Hawaii. For more information, please visit RustyKamori.com and my books are available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. I hope that Coach Mo and I will inspire you to create your own superior culture of excellence and to find your greatness and help others find their aloha.


So without further ado, unless we have some any pertinent questions right now, I will, in terms of the time, I will just be handing this over to Sammy, first as just an introduction to Sammy. We Sammy is also a the co-chair of Open Footprint Forum. OFP and just a little bit of background on Sammy. So Sammy Lakshman is the global managing partner of digital services at ERM and has more than 20 years of experience working at the cross section of sustainability and technology. Co-developing digital transformation that supports their clients at ERM and sustainability strategies and performance. So Sammy will be covering detailed contents of the MVP one and MVP two. He'll provide an overview of the data platform, the user interface reporting, and the reference architecture. So Sammy, I will turn it over to you. Cool. Thanks, Heidi. And greetings, everybody. And you guys can hear me okay? Yes? Yes, yes. Excellent. Wonderful. Great. Now, thanks everybody for joining us. I was, I was invigorated by this, all the chat sessions, everybody from, you know, Australia to to the West Coast of US, I think we've got. So it's truly a global event that we've got going on today. So thank you everybody for your time and energy today. Hopefully, it's a it's a it's a fun session for us to to to go through. As Johan introduced today earlier to just a few minutes ago, you know, I wanted to take a moment and just kind of talk through what are we trying to accomplish and what do you what will you guys be looking at today and give a little bit of context to this. If you imagine at a very simple level, all of us, everybody on this call is affected in some form or fashion by by carbon emissions, whether you're responsible for reporting it for consuming it for advising companies on on how to to to to manage that data, etc, etc. In some form or fashion, every one of us on this call today is affected by carbon. And if you think of what we're trying to do with the open footprint form and the and the things that you're going to see today and the various presentations, I want us to keep that in the back of our mind and in in the context of today.  It's quite difficult and appreciate it's not going to happen overnight. It's something that we will continue to work on in our in our in our MVPs, our minimum viable products as well as we'll talk through today. So we want to make it easier for people to be able to calculate carbon footprints. We want to make it easier to share information across organizations and customers. Carbon is no longer just a single organization thing. Everybody here has a supply chain. They have customers. They have people that are providing inputs, whether that's goods, products, services, components, etc. that into into the into the products and services that you're providing. Therefore, we want to make sure that we have the ability to share that information across organization if you're willing to and if you want to. So once again, there's a bit of optionality and opt in into this and we want to make it, you know, easy and flexible enough. But also we want to be able to facilitate that process, visualize a company's carbon footprint across the board. And then also equally, we want to make sure that we're able to report information to external stakeholders and industry groups. I will reemphasize that this isn't us working in a silo. As Johan showed you, there's a number of organizations, companies, technology providers, consulting services companies, industry frameworks, other groups that you'll hear from today and tomorrow and just in general that we're working with. So it's not just, you know, a single initiative that's run by, you know, Sammy or whoever, but rather it's a coalition of the willing is the phrase that I tend to use a lot in these kinds of sessions. We do want to make it industry wide. We do want to make it, you know, a consistent and common way to view and share emissions related data. And so therefore we're really focused on creating a set of deliverables that's going to help facilitate these objectives. And so we'll talk through that today and I've got the fortune of introducing some of the topics in that we're going to see today in greater detail. So as Johan mentioned, you know, we talk about this data platform, we talk about this reference architecture, we talk about the user interface and reporting. I wanted to break that down a little bit in order to articulate what is it that you're going to be looking at over the next day or two. Thanks. So first of all, let's talk about the data platform and Gomar is going to do a wonderful session here right after mine to talk through in greater detail. So I'm not going to steal his thunder. But in a very simplistic manner, what I want you to think about is a consistent way to exchange process and store emissions related data. That's what I want you to consider as you're listening to Gomar. There's some work that's already happened and continue to happen with aligning that with various reporting standards, with reporting frameworks. Many of you on this call are probably going, wait, how does this apply to me in the context of GRI or WBCSD. We ourselves in this group have had those same questions and also are then working to engage with those various organizations. So at the end of the day that it's aligned. But fundamentally, we want to enable that data to be accessible, whether that's accessible through the platform itself that we'll talk about in a little bit, whether that's accessible through APIs into systems that you may already be using or leveraging or companies on this call that are providing to member organizations. Any of that at the fundamental level, we want to make sure that the data is available and accessible and consistently able to be shared. So that's what the data platform is about. As I mentioned, Gomar is going to go into a lot more detail than I will on my session. So let's keep that in the back of our mind. We talk about this reference architecture and reference implementation. At the end of the day, we wanted to create a template. So whether it's from data entry to reporting to integration. I've got a simple schematic thumbnail of a graphic. So Rob later today will talk through that once again in much greater detail. You know, as we go through this will to see that towards the back half of the session today. But ideally for those folks that want to better understand and how to to leverage this the solution that we're developing and working on at OP, we wanted to have a template that can be, you know, implemented relatively easily within your organization, within your company's technology landscapes. It's all based on open source. So we've got the ability to to to to deploy that at a relative ease, so should so to speak. And we've got a lot of the leading technology providers in our open footprint to ensure that that happens, whether that be Microsoft or AWS or IBM or whatever it might be. And once again, we'll talk more about that later today. Finally, at the end of the day, and although there might be tools and systems that you may already be using, we wanted to make sure that at least every person that wanted to or every organization that wanted to leverage the OP had an ability to store view and report the emissions. That's not to say that this will automatically replace anything that you may have already spent time and energy on, but we wanted to make sure that we have a complete picture for any organization that's interested in the open footprint and sharing and reporting carbon emissions. And so we'll look at that in our session tomorrow around the demo. And so if you think about these three buckets, we'll hear a lot about sort of the view of and the importance of carbon. Hopefully the fact that you're on this call recognizes the importance and the significance of carbon. Many of the executives of our various organizations, including mine, have made very firm commitments or around their commitments around reducing or their carbon impacts or their carbon footprints. And ideally, this is a way to help us get there together collaboratively. Okay, so we've got the data platform where we'll look to talk about sharing the data. We've got the reference architecture about how we can then deploy the solution and this data model within your landscape and within your technology interface and your solution providers. And we'll talk a little bit about the user interface. Okay. So that's an overall whole maybe a bit of a preview of the sessions to come. I wanted to leave you with maybe one more slide is at the end of the day, this isn't going to happen overnight. We've been iterating in an agile way and many of you may come away from this call going, wait, what about this? What about that? They haven't addressed this topic. Yes, we're aware that in many ways this is not a sprint but a bit of a marathon, but we're going to get there in an agile and iterative way. So our focus in MVP one that we've been really focusing on right now is around scope one, scope two emissions. We'll talk more about that later today if you're unfamiliar with those terms, but the direct impacts that your organization may have in terms of carbon. We've started to look at some of the technical functionality around user interfaces and the reporting. And all of that is keeping in mind those three elements that I talked about earlier, right? The data platform, the data standards, the reference architecture and that user interface. Later this year, we're going to expand this work. We've done some great work with scope one, scope two, we're going to expand that now into scope three emissions. Start to look at some of the calculations engines. Once again, we'll talk more about that to think in our session tomorrow with the data gumbo folks. And then finally, last but not least throughout this entire set of MVPs were once again continuing dialogues and engagements with all those different organizations that are out there. So that in a nutshell is what we're going to be doing in an open footprint. Hopefully it gives you a good preview of the things to come. There is a lot more detail that I think you'll see in the sessions today. I will also emphasize that this is the start of a journey. There is a lot more work to be done. And part of the reason hopefully you're on this call is to think through how we can collaboratively get there together. Because at the end of the day, I think we've all got the same objectives. We're all living in the same planet, living in the same sort of ecosystem that we've got. And there's a fundamental way to be able to share and access that information so that it benefits all of us around this. Good. That's pretty much all I had for our session today. I wanted to kind of keep it fairly brief and concise. If there's any questions, feel free to chime in throughout the Q&A. Throughout the session today, please do feel free to ask questions big or small. At the end of the day, this is a learning and awareness session. So if at the end of the day we get through all of this and it's just listening to Sammy talk for four or five hours, that'll be an extremely boring session. I can guarantee you that. So we've got a lot of good panelists. We've got a lot of good speakers set up for today. Please do take advantage of that and ask questions throughout. Heidi, if I can turn that back over to you to maybe kick off with Gomar, if that works. Sure. Thank you, Sammy. Well done. And before we jump into the next presentation, are there any questions at this point? You can certainly type them in and the Q&A chat box. Our next session was scheduled to begin in about 15 minutes. So we're a little bit ahead of time, which is fine. But just wanted to make sure we captured any questions at this point. So we spun through this a little bit quickly initially, but I just wanted to point out some of our links here. So we do have an open footprint forum web page that's dedicated to the forum. There you'll find a lot of information about the current data and we have a data sheet that you can actually also download. That gives a good summary, a good snapshot of the open footprint initiative, as well as there's also information that can be found there. Where if you're interested in joining or wanting to learn a little bit more about the open group or the open footprint forum, there's a link there. And you can also just enter your information and someone from our member services will respond back to you. Then we also have the current list of the current members. So you'll be able to see all of the current members that we have had joined us since last September. And then as I mentioned also that we have an open group open footprint forum linked in. It's open to anyone. You don't need to be a member. So feel free to join that as well. And then there's also a webinar that we have on demand that you can listen to that actually provides a nice introduction to the open footprint forum that was created when we launched the forum back in September. So were there any questions? I'm taking a peek just before we introduce to the next one. Next one. This event will be, yes, all the presentations are being recorded. This is being recorded and they will be available in a few weeks time. Okay, so if without further ado then then I'll jump over to... We do have a question that maybe you can answer. Oh, okay. That's from Phillip Harper. And general question is absolutely convinced on the importance on standards. The question is are there sufficient standards for bodies like UN, WF, etc. for the day extends to comply to. I'm pretty sure Gomel can talk to that one in a moment. We should not assume all the standards are there we need. And then we make assumptions. We will define standards where there are no standards. And of course we make it very, very clear. And when standards come about, we'll adopt them. But we're not going to wait for standards to happen. We need it. We'll adopt standards. Of course, we all will go for standards. There's a rule one. If they don't exist and we really need them to move forward, we'll define them. We'll make it very clear what we've done so we can move forward. And I'm pretty sure Gomel can give examples of what we do where we do Gomel.

Throughout his career He was constantly experimenting with fashion pushing the boundaries of cool and creating new looks each as iconic as the last Today 50 years on from the height of his fame Bowie remains a style icon people within the music world and outside of it are constantly referencing Bowie and Probably will be for another century But of all of Bowie's many many incredible looks the most referenced and most memorable Might be one that he only wore once in his life Welcome to cover stories These days you'll often see people refer to the Aladdin Sane cover shoot as a depiction of Bowie's famous Ziggy Stardust character But that's only kind of correct as you might guess the character depicted on the cover of Aladdin Sane is actually a Different persona called well Aladdin Sane rather than being a new persona entirely though Aladdin Sane is a sort of alter ego or extension of Ziggy Stardust Visually Aladdin Sane remains close to Ziggy with the famous red mullet and pale kabuki inspired makeup In fact the makeup for the Aladdin Sane shoot was done by Pierre Laroche who had also designed Ziggy Stardust's striking golden orb look But while that look was otherworldly and messianic Aladdin Sane is representative of something darker and more ephemeral Bowie developed the concept of Aladdin Sane after touring Ziggy Stardust in America and becoming morbidly Fascinated with the contradictions of that country. He explained Aladdin Sane was my idea of rock and roll America Here I was on this great tour circuit not enjoying it very much So inevitably my writing reflected that this kind of schizophrenia that I was going through Wanting to be up on stage performing my songs But on the other hand not really wanting to be on those buses with all those strange people Being basically a quiet person. It was hard to come to terms with so Aladdin Sane was split down the middle This sort of conflict is present throughout the album It celebrates the glamour and flash of American rock and roll But contrasts it with strange dissonant jazz piano It depicts America as a place of fame and glory, but also a place with a dark strange underbelly This duality is reflected in the look that Bowie and LaRoche created for the artwork The lightning bolt represents the split personality while the color scheme could be a reference to the American flag The bolt itself was actually lifted from an icon on a national Panasonic rice cooker But as a symbol there's a lot you can take from it It represents power and awe But it also hints at the flash in the pan nature of so many rock stars Lighting the world up for a brief moment before fading away There's a depth and a care to LaRoche's makeup look a faint purple wash along with Bowie's gaunt figure Give him a sort of deathly look as though the grueling life of touring America has worn him to the bone But while the makeup was conceptualized and created by Bowie and LaRoche There was a third artist responsible for what might be Bowie's most famous album artwork photographer Brian Duffy It was in Duffy's studio that the album artwork was born after a couple hours of concepting and brainstorming And Duffy had a lot of resources to make his photos pop Bowie's manager had a scheme to ensure that Aladdin sane would get promotion from his label RCA He insisted that Bowie and all of his team make the production of the album as expensive as possible So the label had no choice but to promote it This ethos went all the way down to the album artwork which used a new seven-color system that gave a vibrance and depth to the photo Armed with cutting-edge technology Duffy took a number of photos of Bowie in the makeup In the end he opted for one with Bowie's eyes closed his head down All this adds to the deathly pallor that seems to hang over Aladdin sane It really is depicting a cracked actor seemingly about to break and It is a depiction of a character But the real Bowie is present in there too at the time of the album Bowie was starting to pick up a nasty cocaine habit that would spiral him into some of the darkest years of his career Duffy added one more flair to the photo that really added to the depth of it a silvery drop airbrushed onto Bowie's shoulder While Duffy calls it a teardrop there could be another implication of the drop given how Sexual Aladdin sane is as an album and Bowie's penchant for challenging sexual norms When the album was released it's striking imagery offended some but it wasn't long before it developed into a cult status and Today nearly 50 years after its release the album artwork for Aladdin sane has become one of the single most famous Artworks in all of music history it manages to perfectly capture a singular moment in Bowie's career But it's also become a symbol for the artist as a whole a singular image that captures all that Bowie is the Vision and the talent but also the demons that he carried with him his entire life And it's an image that finds new life with each subsequent generation as people continue to homage and Reimagine this iconic piece of album art. I don't know about you guys But I've just been floored by these new images from the James Webb Space Telescope They make me think of some of Bowie's early career messages about the beauty and danger of the cosmos and the thought that there might be Something else out there if you're like me and you can't stop looking at these you should check out James Webb the ten billion dollar space Telescope on Curiosity stream this documentary explores the creation of this incredible piece of technology and Contextualizes what we might be able to learn using it And of course if you sign up to Curiosity stream with the link in the description You'll also get access to Nebula the streaming platform created by and for creators like me There you'll be able to watch all my videos early and ad-free as well as an increasing number of original series by some of the Best names on YouTube signing up using my link means you can get a year of Curiosity stream and Nebula for less than $15 That means for less than the price of a cup of coffee every month You'll be able to watch all my videos in better quality without having to see ads like this and That money also goes directly to creators with a payout rate That's far better than any other streaming platform So go on over to Curiosity stream comm slash polyphonic to give it a shot today And hey, thanks for watching


Look, the Celtics, by the way, don't look now, something is going on, but the Clippers with a very nice, very convincing 113 93 win. How about Kawhi PG with a combined 51? Okay, this is the Clippers team and I don't want to get too excited because keeping them both on the floor seems almost impossible. But when they are both on the floor, Eddie, how dangerous are they really? I mean, they're selling his world champion. They're that good in a league that is built to score from the wings. They have some of the best defensive wings in the league. They have some of the one of the best rosters of wings and versatility. Nick Matum kind of unsung hero here. He's been a monster for them defensively and he made things rough for Jason Tatum last night and Zaylin Brown. They're built to win that style of play, that playoff style of basketball. The problem for them in the West is there's there's one monkey in that and wrench in that style of play and that's Stephen Curry. He's not a wing and nobody at this size can guard him and they're going to run into him eventually one way or the other. They also Luka a little bit of a little bit of slack as well, but there are dangerous, dangerous team and now they're without Norman Powell. So they're still not even full strike, but for Kawhi to go out there and shoot 10 of 12, score 25 points against those guys, which a week ago we said is the best team in the league. It just shows how effective he can be even in small doses as he rounds himself in the shape and gets ready for the long run.  Maybe. I mean, even to be a bad idea, but they show their potential when they need to. And that's maybe the most dangerous team in the league. Yeah, watching this game last night, this was vintage Kawhi Leonard. He was getting to his spots. He was pulling up left, pulling up right, posting up. This was he looked thin. He looked in shape. This was the Kawhi Leonard that was brought there to, you know, to be their best player. And this just shows you how good that they can be. Like we just said, Covington, Powell, they didn't play last night and they still just dominated the best team in the league with Paul George and Kawhi. This is the first time they both scored over 20 in a really long time. This just shows that they are real contender. I'd love to see them build off this. I'd love to see them at full strength. But on the other side, this is the Celtics have been on the road. This is a two game losing streak. They got the Lakers tonight. I feel like they've been on the road forever and it's not been an easy road trip. But this is something that, you know, they need to put an end to this right now. They need to bounce back, but this just shows you how dangerous the Clippers are when they're fully loaded. It also shows you how tumultuous this league can sometimes be because one minute we're like, God, call it a day Celtics for the win. But shams, they have they shown a few weaknesses that maybe if you are a Celtics fan, got your eyebrows raised a little bit. Yeah, I mean, they're waiting on the return of Robert Williams, Al Horford, not in the lineup as well. So you're down a couple of bigs and you saw last night, the way that the Clippers played, they were getting to their spots. Kawhi Leonard, PG were super aggressive. And I think for the Clippers, you have to give a lot of credit to Tai Lu. He kept his team afloat when they were without both of those guys for pretty much most stretches of the season. And so that to me speaks identity and culture. And now the sky's the limit. This is a team that should have made to the conference final, definitely the NBA finals after making to the conference finals without Kawhi Leonard a couple of seasons ago. So I think this this team seems prime now, they just got to keep these guys on the floor. And I think for the Celtics, try to bounce back tonight and get Al Horford and Rob Williams back in your lineup, possibly by the end of the weekend.


Let's let them through back there, open it, let them come in, let them come in. Fine. Ladies and gentlemen, if you'll give me attention just one minute, I want to say first of all, that as governor of our great state, this is the finest crowd that the First Lady has ever had in the South, I think we're about half of these people in Waycross. I also want to say that it's great to be in Waycross and Ware County. We've got some of your distinguished citizens aboard, aboard the Ladybird Special, and at this time I would like to call their names out so that you'd know who's representing you upon this train. We've got Mayor Tom Gaddis and Ms. Gaddis aboard the train. We've got Mr. Ray Willingham, Ms. Ray Willingham, Roy Barnes and Ms. Barnes. We've got Erin Johnson and Ms. Johnson. We've got Raymond Cooper and Ms. Cooper. We've got Clyde Coventry. We've got Mr. J. W. Kirkland. We've got Jerry Brabson and Ms. Brabson. We've got Mr. and Ms. Jimmy Walker. We've got Mr. and Ms. Baker McGee. We've got Ms. Lara Lee Spower. And we've got your representative, Francis, from Blackshear over here in Pierce County, Francis Houston on the train. So let's give them a big hand because they've been riding this train well. Let me tell you a little bit about the train. Give me attention just a few more minutes. This train started out two days ago, the Lady Bird Special in Alexandria, Virginia. And Lady Bird Johnson has been riding this train through the states of North Carolina, South Carolina. And now through the great state of Georgia, she's been aboard this train now for two days. And of course, we are proud to have her here in Georgia. This lady who comes to us, who honors us in this great state today, is a Southerner. She was born in Texas, raised partially in Alabama. She comes to us as one who knows us, one who understands us, one who is true in the Southern tradition, and one who we all appreciate because she speaks our language and she knows our ways. And today, today down here in Waycross and Ware County, I've got a very fine Georgian that I want to present to you who's going to introduce her. And I want to tell you a little bit about her. First of all, she raises more hands in Georgia than any other person, so I think you know who I'm about to present to you. She comes to us as a great Georgian, a great person that we all love and revere in this state. And I'm going to present to you now one of Georgia's greatest ladies, the wife of our Junior United States Senator, Mrs. Herman Townidge, who will in turn present Lady Bird Johnson. She's a governor. It's just wonderful to be back in Georgia and particularly down here in Waycross, Georgia, with my people. You know, I've had to stay in Washington most all of this year, and it's always a happy occasion when we get home. And when you can't get home, the next best thing to be being at home is to be made to feel at home. And Mrs. Johnson and her fine husband have been that sort of friend to Herman and I ever since we've been in Washington since 1957. And it's wonderful to see that you are going to join me down here today in making her feel at home. And it is with great pride that I present the most capable and gracious first lady this country has ever known, Mrs. Lyndon Johnson. It was a wonderful day, and I thank you for coming out. I thank the bands and all the mamas and papas and children. I've had a wonderful time traveling across your state with your able young governor and his wife, Governor and Miss Sanders. Herman and Betty Talmage are two of our closest political and personal friends. And I'm glad to have Betty at my side to help guide me through Georgia. In the years that my husband has spent in the Congress, his way has been helped and directed and guided by two of your able members of your delegation, Carl Vinson and Dick Russell. Those two have done so much to help shape the defenses of this nation. Now some of y'all might be wondering what I'm doing making this trip. It's easy to explain to you. I spent all the summers of my childhood from the time I was five years old until I was 21 in your neighboring state of Alabama. My grandparents, my husband's great-grandparents came from your state of Georgia. We have ties and closeness with the father world. I think we have some friends down here and we wanted to say to them that we value you, we respect you, and we need you and appreciate you. Ten months ago, on his tragic day, as this nation can remember, my husband came into the office of the presidency of all of you. And since then, his major aim has been what I think is what concerns all of you all the most. One, keeping this nation at peace, backed up with strength. He puts it into a nutshell this way. He says, our guard is up, but our hand is out to the nations of the world. And that's what I think every mama and papa and every young person in this country is thinking about first is peace. And then next, economic prosperity for our country. And I believe he's kept it on a perfect, a perfect, stable course of that, because, well, since 1960, your state of Georgia, the average per capita income, has gone up $255. And that's $23 more than the national average. And I don't think... I just obliged to remind y'all that those have been democratic years. The president has brought with him to the White House many lessons of the past, learned in depression and war and handed down from his southern forebears who pioneered in the Southwest. It is that more than anything that lies behind the programs he has fought for, what he calls the requirements of the great society. Because the third thing that he has always on his mind is trying to figure out practical, compassionate ways to help those in America that are still in need. And so, I want to say to you all that as we go further down the road on our whistle-stop through this wonderful country, and as November the 3rd approaches, it's everybody's right to make up his own mind about who he thinks has the strength and the character to lead our beloved country. I'm proud of his record. I believe there are many of you all who are in favor of it. And I leave it to your good judgment with a happy heart. Thank you for coming out. I have to forget Lucy. She wouldn't like it at all if she didn't get to meet you. But something was just handed to me that I am mighty happy to see because this means that your paper has confidence in my husband, Way Cross Journal, Harold, First Lady comes to city, seeking support for LBJ. And then it goes on. The governor says it goes on to give him an endorsement. And may I say thank you. And now I want you to know, because I see a lot of young folks in this crowd, I want you to know our young daughter, Lucy Baines. When the governor spoke a few minutes ago and said that he believed that this was the largest crowd that we had seen since we had started on our whistle stop, he was no exaggeration. This is a tremendous turnout. And we're thrilled to death. But I'm especially thrilled because I've seen so many young people here today taking an active interest. And I thoroughly and fully realize that many of these young people who've taken an active interest may disagree with me. But the way that they disagree with me and the responsible way that they've handled themselves can't help but impress me. And I just would like to say that I'm proud of the kind of young people here in Georgia who realize that they have an extra special opportunity and that they have the right to vote a little bit earlier than most of us do at 18 rather than at 21. And I'm thrilled to death that they have taken this responsibility into their hands with a desire to reason to look at the issues to weigh their minds and then to make their choice because I believe that they realize as fully as I do that we make a choice today by voting. But tomorrow we are going to have to be the leaders of this country and the choice we make today depends on the kind of situation that we will have tomorrow in our hands. Thank you very much. And now I want to present to this audience one of you all and one of the fine outstanding congressman in the United States Congress, the Honorable Russell Tootin and his wife, who are here. I'd like to... I just want you to know that I appreciate the courtesy and the wonderful welcome you've extended the First Lady of our land. And now we want to ask the Mayor. I think the Mayor of Way Cross has a little memento, a little gift he'd like to make to the First Lady. We'd like to ask Mayor Tom Gettis and Commissioner Aaron Johnson if they won't come forward and perform this part of our ceremony here in Georgia. Miss Johnson, there's a token of our appreciation that you chose to stop in our fine city and for this fine people who are gathered here today I would like to present to you at this time a sterling silver necklace with the city seal of Way Cross attached and I hope that you will keep it and always remember your visit to Way Cross, Georgia. Because of Lady Bird. We are so glad to have you at Way Cross today and a little token of the good people of Way Cross and Way County we want to present you these rolls from Texas. And now friends, we have some other distinguished guests that I want to introduce. First of all, there's one that I'd better introduce so I won't be able to get off this train tonight. I want to present to you the First Lady of Georgia Miss Betty Sanders. Ask her if she won't come forward. You know it's great, it's real great to have a First Lady of our land who can get up here and see you all and say it just like we do down in Georgia. And it's great to have on this train some other good Democrats and some good fine outstanding public servants and I want to introduce three outstanding Democrats who own this train and ask them if they won't have a few words to say to all these fine Democrats down here in Way Cross and Way County I want to first present to you the Commerce, that great Democrat from up in North Carolina, Secretary Luther Hodges who's on the train. Ask him if he won't say a word. Thank you very much Governor Sanders and this is a wonderful crowd here in Way Cross. I love Georgia and I'm glad to come here and pay my tribute to you. I know you have your highway number one coming through here as we do through our state and the Bureau of Public Rows is in the Department of Commerce. We're very much interested in tourist development down here. We're also interested in farming and cotton farming which we have and which you have. And if we keep the Democrats in power as we're going to do, it means we can keep our 12 billion dollar income instead of cutting it to 6 billion dollars as Mr. Goldwater will do if he has his way of doing away with all the farm things. This Johnson administration has done more for the textile industry which I was a part for 30 years than any administration in all history and less sentimentally and practically both Democratic from Johnson on down come November 3rd. And now I want to introduce to you another fine congressman, an outstanding public servant in this great nation. I want to introduce to you the whip of the United States House of Representatives the Honorable Hale Boggs of Louisiana here. Governor and Mrs. Johnson and Lucy and ladies and gentlemen let me just tell you this that the only thing that maybe I beat the face of the lady on is Georgia relatives. My grandfather was born and reared in Georgia and I'm happy to be here today but I'm happy for another reason. This train has been on the track since Alexandria, Virginia and the so-called business about Goldwater carrying the South just ain't so if you forgive me for saying it that way. The President is going to carry Maine and Vermont and New Hampshire I don't think they've ever voted Democratic in the whole history of our country not even that great President Franklin Roosevelt who loved Georgia so much could carry those states but Johnson is going to carry them and you know what else he's going to carry Arizona and you know who comes from Arizona and you have any doubt that he's going to carry Georgia you know in any southern strategy the strategy is to put LBJ back in the White House where he belongs for the benefit of every American thank you very much. And now last but not least I'd like to introduce to you a former Governor of our great sister state of Tennessee the Honorable Buffett Ellington who's also on this train with us. Thank you. Thank you Governor Sanders as your neighbor I hope you'll think about this in the next four weeks that as a businessman with industry moving toward the South it's a great industrial growth that we have that you'll remember it's under the Democratic administration as a farmer that you'll remember too that we are depending on you to go Democratic. Thank you.


And to sports now, after three games in the 2021-2022 Nigeria Professional Football League NPFL, without a win, Gombi United on Monday secured their first win by defeating Lobi Stars Football Club 3-0.
