Thank you, Chris We have one more speaker and then a couple of announcements to wrap up the keynotes So to bring out our last speaker from the largest automobile manufacturing company in the world Volkswagen group Please welcome Mario Mueller. Thank you everybody Good morning. How are you today? Good as a wonderful event right now this I can see is really great. So I would like To congratulate also the winners and all the finalists to AT&T that was wonderful great So I will talk a little bit About the Volkswagen group and what we are doing in the open-stack environment The Volkswagen group has both successful brands and different portfolios We have the Volkswagen cars It's the brand's Audi. It's the brand Bentley It's Bugatti it's Dugatti on the motorbikes. It's Lamborghini the heavy trucks and buses M&M or Porsche or Scania Seat Skoda Volkswagen passenger car and Volkswagen light vehicles The Volkswagen group is also active in other fields of businesses Like manufacturing large diesel engines turbocharger turbo machinery Vehicle transmission and testing systems for the mobility sector In addition the Volkswagen group offers a wide range of financial services Including dealer and customer financing Leasing banking and insurance activities and fleet management We spent in 2014 approximately 2.5 billion euros in research and development not for the IT I have to say to develop our new cars We showed on the CES 2016 the body a fully electric fully connected car. Oh And another one we showed to is the mission E a Porsche concept study with the tribute to tomorrow This is also a fully connected car fully electric has approximately 600 horsepower and the acceleration to 100 kilometers is three and a half seconds And it's pretty fast and it will run over 500 kilometers distance before you have to recharge it so we we're doing a lot of development in the area for our new products there and We have around the world 119 production plants in 20 European countries and a further 11 countries in America's China Asia and Africa every weekday more than 600,000 employees worldwide produced nearly 41,000 vehicles or work in vehicle related services So the Volkswagen group sells these vehicles in 153 countries What does it mean to the IT? So we have a pretty huge genius IT infrastructure and we have to improve our work streams We have to get more Automatization levels as we have today and of course we have to standardize our IT infrastructure and applications We have to manage all this complexity and this this picture doesn't show our network. It's not a one It's not ours. Yeah, it's not ours now and We have to speed up and it's the most important point the delivery of IT to the business We are right now too slow We have to get much more faster all of the demand that we get from our customers and our IT Colleagues and out of the business and besides that of course as always we have to reduce your costs That means we have to reinvention of the IT infrastructure in the Volkswagen group and We all know the best way to predict the future is to invent it and We started to implement OpenStack as the open cloud platform in the Volkswagen group For all of the new applications that we need To get much more faster as we are right now Give the business what they need to give our software developers must what they need and We started this journey to this cloud in mid 2015 We do have heterogeneous world right now And we do need also the connection of the new cloud into this old ecosystem Because we need many datas out of this ecosystem. That's there. So we started this journey in mid 2015 and we launched our first environment at the end of 2015 our second version will be ready in mid 2016 so we are just now in front of production With our new generation of websites with our new car configurator With an application platform for our users named we drive with smart production analytics 3d rendering and many many other things on top of this OpenStack IIS layer We work with cloud fine tree on this PAIS layer So we need this development environment for our users there to get great integration The great CI CD tool chain for being pretty fast with new deployments So OpenStack is there OpenStack is now in the company and we are pretty proud of that I have to say we're working together there with Mirantis and it's running pretty well and We are so happy to work with with you in such a great community and such a great Organization and that's that's wonderful for us to get all this input there and have all this great people Where we can exchange information there? We just finished our new data center. This data center is now ready and ready for production and we will install approximately in this 2000 Square meters of IT plays in this data center Just only for this OpenStack implementation approximately 900 cores 260,000 gigabytes of RAM much more than 2,500 terabytes of storage We will span this environment around the world To a pack region to China to the Americas and not counting that we need An hybrid version of it to work with other cloud providers together So as I mentioned before the CI CD tool chain is also implemented and The Volkswagen group did a commitment. We are going cloud first with all our new developments So by the way, do you know how many hours lifetime and average? Everybody in this room is spending in a vehicle any guess So how many know how many hours lifetime and average Everybody in this room is spending in a vehicle Any idea? Just guess How many hours? Okay, I will tell you approximately more than 37,000 hours So the most of the time is From our point of view Waste of time if you think driving in great traffic or driving downtown searching for a parking slot So wouldn't it be great to have a sleep? in your vehicle after a hard working day and Being relaxed in the next morning approaching your vacation destination In the last hundred years the engine was the heart of the vehicle and the driver the brain In this century Autonomous driving will be the heart of the system and the mobility platform for mobility on demand will be the brain Basis for this will be a perfect a perfect connectivity to all vehicles and the cloud To interact with smartphones smart homes as well as over-the-air Software updates and upgrades and all vehicles and many more services for our customers We plan to do the spaces with our open-stack implementation So thank you very much, and thank you working with you together in this great organization We are proud of it, and we are looking forward to tell you the results of this implementation And the beginning of next year. Thank you. Thank you Mario so we have heard about the future of Networks that are going to connect us all 5g high-speed mobile heard about the future of manufacturing heard about the future of mobility AT&T SAP Volkswagen all of them said that open-stack was was strategic to them, which is pretty cool, too Now before we wrap up here and go to all the breakout sessions just a couple of of quick announcements First of all if we I know we open the doors and let everybody in if you didn't get a badge You need to go get a badge if you want to be able to get into the the sessions for the rest of the event So you go back to registration and do that and one of the things that That we often want to know is where is the summit going next? I mentioned earlier We're going to Barcelona in October of this year, but in 2017 We are returning to Boston In May May 8th 2017 marker calendars and following that In November of 2017 for the first time we will be taking the open-stack summit down under Some Aussies up here and and Ben keeps I do know the difference between Australia and New Zealand But it'll be in Sydney the week of November 6 2017 so May 8th November 6 next year for the open-stack summits We've got a great week ahead I hope all of you are able to to learn to collaborate to meet new people and Most importantly have a good time with open-stack. Thank you Soul track mine play us out

Welcome to Spotlight Advanced. I'm Bruce Gulland. And I'm Liz Wade. Spotlight uses a special English method of broadcasting. It is easier for people to understand, no matter where in the world they live. Mercy and Agnes are sisters from Kenya. They are part of the Maasai tribe. They told their story to the organization Equality Now. When they were 10 and 11 years old, they were supposed to take part in a ceremony. This ceremony would celebrate moving from being a girl to a woman. Ceremonies like this are often beautiful and exciting. But Mercy and Agnes were afraid. They knew that this ceremony would also involve cutting their sexual organs. Mercy and Agnes did not want to go through the ceremony. They decided to run away. They received help from some adults they knew. These adults guided them to Tisaru and Tomonok initiative, or TNI. Tisaru means rescue in the local Ma language. There, they met Agnes Pareo. Today's Spotlight is on Agnes Pareo and her work to end female genital mutilation. Women all around the world have experienced female genital mutilation, or FGM.   The World Health Organization estimates that 200 million girls have been cut. There are no medical reasons to cut, and FGM often causes severe pain, extreme bleeding, and infections.  Even if the girl lives, FGM can cause problems with her body and in childbirth. Governments and organizations internationally recognize that FGM is a violation of human rights. However, FGM still happens in many cultures. For many, it is a cultural tradition. People are often strongly attached to these traditions. This is why Agnes Pareo continues her work. Pareo comes from the Masai culture in Kenya. When she was 14, her mother told her she would be cut. Agnes did not want to be cut. Her father supported her, but her village did not support her. They made fun of her and called her names. They said they would never accept her. They said no one would marry her. So Pareo agreed and had her sex organs cut. She bled a lot and was in a lot of pain. But she did not cry because she did not want to look like she was afraid. Masai women are not supposed to show fear. Instead, she felt something else. Pareo told one billion rising. As I lay there after being cut, I made myself a promise. I was going to do everything I could to stop this ever happening to another girl. My daughters would not be cut. And the daughters of the Masai would not be cut. This promise has defined Pareo's life. FGM was banned in Kenya in 2011, but it continues there. Pareo works in Kenya to stop FGM, especially with the Masai. She founded TNI in 1999. It began as a place where girls who ran away from FGM and early marriages could continue their education. But today, two of TNI's most important programs deal with protecting girls from FGM. One of TNI's programs involves different ceremonies for girls to become women. As a member of the Masai tribe, Pareo knows how culturally important FGM is for many women. She wants to offer another choice that protects young girls from FGM but still honors Masai traditions. The traditional ceremony for Masai girls to become women is four days long. The girls dress in their best clothes and wear their most beautiful jewellery. They sing traditional songs, and tribal leaders bless the girls with milk and water. A leader performs FGM on the girls, and at the end of the ceremony, the community welcomes them as women. The new ceremonies honor the beauty of the tradition while stopping the FGM. All of the elements of the traditional custom are the same, except that the girl is not cut. Instead, the girl receives information about the value of education and health. Other organizations also use this method. They keep the good parts of the ceremony, but they replace the cutting with a symbol. Instead of cutting, leaders pour milk on a girl's legs to represent how she has become a woman. Sarah Tenoi is another Masai anti-FGM activist in Kenya. She explains the purpose of these new ceremonies to the Guardian. We know that if we can change everyone's mind, then we will end FGM. Our message is that we are encouraging people to change one part of Masai culture, but not give up all of what makes us proud to be Masai. TNI's other main program is to reconnect girls to their families. Most of the girls who run away from FGM do not want to stay away from their families forever. So Pareo and her coworkers decided to use a traditional Masai reconciliation process to return the girls to their families and their village. This process involves meeting with parents, family members, and other members of the community. Village leaders and other officials also become involved. Everyone works together and promises not to force the girls to be cut. It is a village-wide promise to protect and support the girls. And it welcomes the girls to come home and become part of the village again. Pareo explains to the Huffington Post how important it is for entire communities to be involved in these reconciliation ceremonies. The ceremonies are a public promise by the girls and their families to get them away from FGM, early marriage, and other dangers that they could face when they are young women, when they are extra vulnerable. Six years after they ran away from home, Mercy and Agnes returned to their village through one of these reconciliation ceremonies. They saw their family again and were accepted back into their community. They are no longer afraid of FGM. Changing a culture is a long and difficult process. It involves patience, understanding, and working with many different people. But Pareo continues to work to end FGM in the Masai culture, one girl at a time. What about you?

Hey everyone, welcome. Are we having fun at Devcore? This is so so amazing I'm one of the things I love about this space is that I just keep learning like every single day I learned something new about Bitcoin and At least once a week my mind is blown. So that I had that experience again today listening to some of these presentations I wanted to talk about security today, and if you listen to the trolls on reddit, I don't know anything about security So I decided instead I'll talk about parenting because I don't have any kids so You know if I'm gonna talk about things. I don't know I might as well start there, right? You know parenting has changed a lot When I grew up things were very different now in in the last couple of decades parenting is completely different My my sister just had a baby and I'm watching her as a parent. I'm like a proxy parent as an uncle It's it's really strange. I'm watching these parents and you know when I was growing up Purell didn't exist It's a miracle. We actually made it, right like we survived because apparently there's bacteria everywhere and Today's parenting involves Gallon jugs of purell, right? You watch these parents like Their kid touches a bit of dirt and they give them a purell shower right there just to make sure Not the experience I had right I grew up in the 70s. We used to play in the garden roll around in the mud We'd make mud cakes Would our parents freak out? No We'd eat the mud cakes Would our parents freak out? No Mostly because they weren't around they were like get out of the house come back when the Sun goes down And so you have to wonder how did we survive without purell and Recently if you if you read some of the studies you you hear about this really interesting phenomenon The rates of asthma and allergy are through the roof turns out if You raise a child in a sterile environment They don't develop an immune system whoops and So now there's this new round of parenting that is recognizing this fact and we're going back to our roots So now we realize that eating mud cakes in the garden is how you build a robust immune system, right? you don't get allergies you don't get asthma and You know you can take this to the extreme you have For example in the in the third world Children don't have extreme allergic reactions to common medications that we'd have why because they have even more robust immune systems by being exposed To pathogens all of the time from the moment them born before they're born and Then in the other extreme you have this concept of Raising a child in a bubble Bubble boy, right you remember that story Bubble boy, it's a tragic story because it's true about a child without an immune system and there are these strange cases or medical tragedies where either children are born with compromised immunity or They lose their immunity through some kind of problem and then they live in a bubble and You have to be wondering what the hell is this guy talking about right now I thought this was gonna be a talk about security in Bitcoin and here we are we're talking about bubble boys and eating mud cakes There's a point to this hang on hang on So the reason I'm talking about this is because this has some really important implications in security You see if you create a system that is isolated from external influences Then it's not that it doesn't have bugs It's just that you don't know about the bugs that the system has and if you create a system that is exposed To external attacks all of the time It's not that it has a lot of bugs It's just that you know about the bugs that it has because you keep finding them and in the process You fix them and in the process the system gets stronger so This all comes out of a Discussion I want to have about an interesting phenomenon We have now which is this concept of permissioned ledgers and isolated blockchains because in my mind an Isolated the blockchain is bubble boy Right. It's building a system completely isolated from the world with the hopes that that's going to make it safer because banks are like a Paranoid helicopter parent that wants to shower their kid in Purell because it touched a booger and Guess what these ledgers are gonna get they're gonna get asthma and severe allergies The worst case is that eventually the bubble bursts at some point you get exposed to the outside world and Then you have a scenario where a system that's been isolated for so long has developed no immunity whatsoever It gets exposed to some horrific deadly thing like a pollen particle And dies a horrible death Because it has such low immunity that it reacts horribly to something that a properly stimulated properly Raised organism can resist with ease Now this isn't the first time we've had this discussion in fact ironically on the internet this realization that security by isolation and security by obscurity and Security by control and perimeter and security by trying to tamp down security research fails and fails miserably when I was first on the internet in the early 90s, I was talking to banks and Telling them why they should Get email servers and connect to this email thing and They said very many of the same things that I hear in Bitcoin today, which is well We don't know anyone who uses email none of the other banks use email. So who am I gonna send email to first place? Secondly that out there Uncontrolled thing might be dangerous thirdly our bankers might say something in email and how do we add a long disclosure form at the bottom and What happens if any of our people can communicate with anyone at any moment in time? That's a recipe for chaos anarchy Of course they were right They just didn't think of chaos and anarchy as a good thing Many of us in this space probably do So what did the banks do with their first? Attempts to join the internet. What did large corporations do with their first attempt to join the internet? Did they connect TCP IP systems directly to the internet and build robust applications that could communicate over TCP IP? No, they built moats and walls and Perimeters they implemented perimeter security. They built firewalls and demilitarized zones DMZ's and they use all of these military Analogies to wall themselves in and then what did they deploy behind these walls? Did they deploy the common open source protocols and capabilities and applications of the internet? No, they deployed highly denatured weak equivalents like Outlook and front page and they built Internet websites that had stale and obsolete content That was only accessible during working hours through a VPN with no influence from the outside and they said look We're doing internet We're so cutting-edge We're hip and That's how they did internet. They built these highly isolated environments and For a very long time the prevailing idea was That by building these isolated environments, they were more secure Because they could control things through the firewall Because they could control access to data creation of data access to systems And now we know that was an illusion not only Can companies not control these things? But in the process of building these isolated systems They built bubble boy IT they built IT systems that had no resilience no immunity because Outlook had bugs and front page had bugs It's just that they weren't tested on the wild internet very often because a lot of the time they lived behind walls and When we discovered those bugs it was bad, right? Because eventually someone gets inside the bubble or the thing that's inside the bubble gets outside the bubble See the problem with bubbles is that you can't trade through them, and if you're in business your business is to trade So if you're a business you do commerce and commerce can't happen in a bubble So the very concept of a bubble is antithetical to commerce you build your firewall What's your salesperson going to use on the road a? Laptop which they're going to take outside of the firewall for the very first time plug it into the hotel internet Contract 72 viruses and then bring it back into the firewall and give it to everyone else Bubbles didn't work on the internet. It didn't work. What are we seeing now? We're seeing a whole generation of companies come to the realization That in order to be nimble and effective they can't be HP MC Cisco Oracle Microsoft Havens of secluded little kingdoms that don't talk to anything else First of all because that shit's expensive and it doesn't work and secondly because it's incredibly vulnerable It doesn't have immunity and so now we see this generation of Nimble young startups that are true internet companies their products their internal systems Their collaboration all of it is out there naked on the internet It all happens on github for all the world to see they use Gmail and collaborate with external email systems all over the world their Internal systems are external There's no such thing as internal in the world of the internet and they're building robust applications because on day one Those applications live in the wild and They're more secure they learn to live out there in the big scary Internet and those companies are thriving and they have systems that are much more secure and much more robust and That was even before the era of whistleblowers and anonymous Who come along and prick these corporate bubbles and get inside and take all of the information and give it out Now you're probably thinking well If provisioned ledgers and closed internets or bubble boy Then the wild internets and Bitcoin are like a kid Eating mud cakes Right a system that has immunity something exposed to pathogens. Well almost That might have been the analogy. I wanted to go for but you know me I'll go a bit further Bitcoin isn't the kid that eat mud cakes Bitcoin is a swarm of sewer rats gnarly things missing eyes and claws and tails like those pigeons You see in Trafalgar Square that are hopping around with this mutant arm stump and what do they eat? What are they eat? They eat raw sewage.   Yes Everyone is trying for six years the best of the brightest the meanest and the most malicious of throwing everything they can At this deformed swarm of sewer rats out there these 6000 nodes that are listening and God knows how many other nodes that are exposed to the vagaries of the wild internet and It survives So what are the banks do? They're gonna build bubble boy blockchains They're going to build permissioned ledgers. Do you think permissioned ledgers suffer from transaction malleability? Hell yes, they do. Do you think altcoin suffer from transaction malleability? Hell? Yes, they do They just don't get those things fixed right and neither will the permissioned ledgers and that's just one of the thousands and thousands and thousands of bugs and weaknesses and Weird Exceptions and edge cases that we're going to find while living out there in the wild and And we're going to build this incredibly robust system which is already taking shape today I mean beyond the idea that you could have a Decentralized consensus system the idea that that decentralized consensus system could actually survive For six years is kind of ludicrous and The only reason the banks have now gone to the point of thinking about permissioned ledgers is because they finally Reach the stage of bargaining the third stage in the five stages of grief For the industry they're about to lose They start with denial and The basis of denial is well this thing isn't gonna work It's gonna die any day soon and it doesn't and Then they say well, it's just silly money and it doesn't have any value until it does And nobody else is gonna play with it except that they are and serious investors won't possibly put money in this except that they did and It still refuses to die. So we go from denial To bargaining Somewhere in between there might be some anger there's going to be Some depression and eventually they're going to reach acceptance But it's gonna take a long time because if you look at the internet We're now on maybe 25 years into the internet in terms of really beginning to Broaden its use 25 years in and There are plenty of companies out there that think that as long as they put their Oracle EMCHP Cisco Microsoft shit behind a perimeter firewall all is going to be well They're still building bubble boys and Intranets on the internet. They haven't learned that lesson after 25 years. It's going to take longer in finance Not only is decentralization Open protocols open source Collaborative development and living in the wild a feature of Bitcoin That's the whole point and if you take a permission ledger and you say well, that's all nice We like the database part of it. Can we have it without the open decentralized peer-to-peer open source? non-controlled Distributed nature of it. Well, you just threw out the baby with the bathwater You're never going to build a bubble strong enough to keep financial information Ironically, this is all happening at the same time that as banks have finally gone on to the internet They're leaking They're leaking so much from every orifice. They're leaking anonymous WikiLeaks insiders All of that stuff They don't have confidential transactions. They don't have encrypted this. They don't have privacy. They don't have zero knowledge They have completely open ledgers and what do they overlay on top of them? KYC and AML so they attach identities to everything they're doing so that when that database gets leaked It will have a completely rich history not only of every transaction, but of every participant in the system That's what they're building. They're building Panopticons they're building a panopticon of financial information and it's leaking Because the truth of panopticons is when you build a panopticon it stares back And when it's the internet that's staring back, that's four billion eyeballs I'm not so worried about my financial information from my bank leaking Because maybe a couple hundred people are gonna stare back But when Angela Merkel's phone numbers and phone calls leak whoo, everybody's staring Three days ago the internal presentations and power points of the Department of Defense about their drone assassination Program leaked for a billion eyes staring back. You built a panopticon It's staring back And so the real question we should be asking about permissioned ledgers is Do you really want to put KYC AML on bubble boy? Because you go and add all of that information when that database leaks four five six ten years into the future.  You'd better rethink this bubble boy because building resilient systems is about exposing them exposing them to Continuous attack. That's how you build resilient systems So I'm not scared of permissioned ledgers D nature D fang centralized weak systems behind bubbles Those are not going to scale. They're not going to survive. They're not going to be secure They're not going to be provide they're not going to be providing privacy and they're going to backfire badly but the funny thing is That lesson is going to take a long time to learn. I Can see it now Sir, we had all of the drone assassination things behind a firewall, but someone burst through the bubble All right, call the general get me two bubbles. We're going to double up Bubbles within bubbles Sir they burst through our double bubble titanium bubbles If we pay Lockheed Mart in a hundred million dollars, maybe they can build us a double titanium bubble that we can hide all of our data behind Sir it lasted 30 seconds before anonymous ripped it to shreds and to put all our data on the internet Hmm. I wonder if we can build more bubbles They think that having your data on the internet Without controlling it centrally is weakness. It isn't weakness That sewer rat out there isn't weak It's the strongest thing we can build because it's constantly under attack and wrapping it in a bubble It doesn't make it stronger it gradually denatures and weakens it until what's left is a pale Immunosuppressed little lab rat with red eyes That dies the first time it's exposed to the flu and so That's what security is Security is a process. It's a process of openness and exposure It's a process of continuously adapting to new attacks and in that process dynamically becoming more and more robust less and less fragile We're introducing Bitcoin in a world full of fragile systems central banking centralized banking monetary systems that Can't manage to achieve lift-off in the economy In that environment. We're introducing a robust global decentralized system And it's robust today. It's not perfect It's got bugs But we don't hide those bugs We announce them we glorify in them we discuss them We invite people to attack it and we take that information and we make it stronger every single day and That is why we win because while they're building bubble boy. We're building a swarm of sewer rats. Thank you So I'm happy to take Questions from the audience. We have quite a bit of time. So please go ahead Andre What you're trying to communicate is that? Private block chains are insecure by design. I I mean Blockchain that are built within the banks. Okay, I agree with that but we can take another software That is being used I mean as example like open source projects, okay It's like HTTP server. Let's take n drinks or Apache. It's being used by big corporations like Google Oracle whoever including banks that have a lot of private information and So what prevents the banks from taking Open source grown copy of the Bitcoin code and launching it inside Well, I'll tell you what what stops them. I think here's the problem What happens if you take a patching and You install it in a bank and you put it behind an internet and you use it internally I'll tell you what happens. You fall behind on patches. You stop doing vulnerability tests You stop exposing it to external vulnerability tests that you didn't order that just came your way Okay, so and as you do that It gets denatured it gates weaker and weaker and weaker and weaker until eventually you're running Apache But it's three versions behind it's vulnerable to anything and someone comes in pricks through the bubble breaks through the perimeter and takes that Apache for a ride and That's because you weren't under pressure To live in the wild and when the pressure goes away, so do the standards. I Would be happy to see Bitcoin as the one world currency and you probably know that I've also been working towards this direction during last five years or so, but meanwhile we have big banks and corporations Existing within the countries and Google is a good example of Like using a lot of open source software and using it properly, right? Do I agree with that? Yes, so most of their stuff runs pretty much out there So while this in while we have not yet shifted to like completely decentralized anarchist like picture of world with only one currency. We will have the banks and Bitcoin solves some problem for them. I mean private blockchain solves problem of synchronizing synchronizing transactions between the branches like not losing transactions and so on so they they have a choice either to like Not solve this problem or try to apply this Solution they have a lot more choices of that. I mean just today Greg was talking about liquid which is a Sidechain for doing exactly that's between exchanges now where are exchanges today today? They run a mysql database that stores entries for the account value of every customer We saw what happened with willy-bot and gox with that particular issue, right? This is an incremental improvement Now how does that differ from a permission ledger? Well, the main difference is that if you think Citibank is going to run their permission ledger on internet connected machines and Open to everyone to scrutinize you're sorely mistaken What they're going to do is they're going to hide it behind the tall wall and they're going to run it among their five six seven eight Bankly friends And what that's going to do is it's going to mean that that software is going to be weak And it's going to get weaker because all of the lessons we're learning in the wild won't get applied there until a whistleblower runs a little Trojan and malleates the transactions of their running exchange and Then they're gonna have a bit of a problem What I was trying to say that as long as big institutions still exist they will hold some amount of private information inevitably about their customers, right and they since blockchain solves some problem for them they will They will be using it and they really have a choice to either use open source developments like launch a copy of Ethereum within their network or try to build something on so we'll have a tool like worlds of Blockchains again like commercial blockchains built by Microsoft and Open source blockchains built by open source community and both will be used by large organizations. It's not Yeah, absolutely. I mean we are going to live in a thank you We are going to live in a world with a lot of diversity We are going to have completely closed systems that are Permissioned ledgers that have so little decentralization functionality that effectively all they are is Three-phase commit on top of a database with audit logs and instead of having audit logs in a log file They have audit logs based on Bercal trees and hashes. That's not innovation. That's 20 year old technology Applied in a slight twist to what they're doing now and on the other end of the scale You're going to have completely open systems open source systems You're going to have sophisticated cryptography and we're mostly going to be living on that end now If that's the environment and that's the competitive landscape That's great. I mean Because that's an environment in which not only can we win with Bitcoin and with other technology or rather It's not a matter of winning. It's a matter of building robust solutions that have use and Value for people all around the world that change the world. That's something we can do You know, I'm not worried about competing against the Microsoft blockchain You know described Bitcoin is an army of sewer rats, but I'm going to disagree I think our Bitcoin is a single sewer rat And because of that, it's vulnerable. The sewer rat is named Bitcoin core if we really want to be a army of Sewer rats we have to have more implementation so that if one rat dies their army remains you know, I Don't think you will find a single core developer Who will ratify the idea that the best approach is to have only one implementation? I think the real difference is that Implementing more than one implementation and creating software diversity on a consensus Sensitive system is something that's never been done before and it's bloody difficult because you have a bug and you get the May 2013 26 block fork because of Berkeley DB, which wasn't even part of the consensus rules I think if you look at the development roadmap of Bitcoin core You'll see that there is an enormous effort underway with lip consensus and lip set to 56 K to to modularize and Isolate the elements that are consensus Important and to make those available for libraries for other implementations and there are other implementations year six is A toddler right and so already there are 304 competing implementations that are fairly good and are able to keep up and in some ways Is it still? Very much a monoculture. Yes, we still have some biodiversity issues But I don't think anybody wants that it's just they recognize that it's very difficult to Move away from that in a system that is consensus critical Okay question Michael How much of it is a question of competence mean looking at operating systems iOS is a lot more secure than Android And that kind of breaks down your analogy. I don't think it's a matter of competence. I think well It depends on how you define competence if you think if you think of competence simply as an internal and intrinsic attribute of a single person Then perhaps but competence isn't to me an attribute of a single person It's an emergent aspect of a team or collaborative behavior, right? Competence is not you writing code alone very few people can exhibit competence across scale and time as coders Competence and quality of code is something that emerges from the collaboration of many people because the area that I have Competence in is different from the area that you have competence in and if we're sharing then there will be someone out there Who will notice the one thing that I missed and So I don't think that's really the case. I think What is the issue with Android I? Think the the fundamental difference between Android and iPhone is not about code quality Or security of the underlying code. It's about the difference that iPhone runs on 2025 different platforms if you take all of the versions of iPhones that exist out there and Android runs on 500 different platforms by different manufacturers all of which creates subtle variations it's a matter of uncontrolled diversity in a system and there is Android that is extremely good and there is Android that is Extremely bad. Whereas with iPhone. It's a much narrower band of higher quality That's a specific choice to align hardware software quality control services under a single umbrella and that works in some cases But it also slows down innovation And how do I know that I know that because I had a Bitcoin wallet a year and a half on my Android before it was available on iOS and that's a perfect example of how it slows down innovation wall gardens mini bubbles They reduce your ability to trade outside the bubble and so you pay a heavy price for that And over longer scales of time that price may be insurmountable. I love the the sewer rat analogy that's awesome and The helicopter parent that's equally awesome still trying to wrap my head around how the sewer rats See the helicopter parents and how they relate to them and whether they ignore them completely and They live under the grip of their business the It seems like the common element of of these Semi-cooperative entities And rats don't really collaborate and Listen, I'm not gonna make some what collaborate, but okay Let's not attempt to do a formal proof on the internal consistency of my analogies. I can tell you right now I'm just saying I love it. I'm going deep on it. So the point Is not about this biology of the rat The points is about the difference between a robustness in an environment with stimulus versus weakness in an environment that lacks stimulus or has isolation and so Use whatever analogies you want I thought that starting a title of a presentation with bubble boy and the Bitcoin sewer rat as I announced on Twitter last week Would at least brings the people here thinking what the hell absolutely? Thank you But in addition, I think that control is is the medium That that were the perception of control is the medium Perception and all and when you when you said rats I immediately thought of pizza rat in the New York subway system and and yeah And the helicopter parents like pizza, too So maybe pizza is the control well Here's the thing a control is going to be a big issue with these permissioned ledgers the illusion of control or the use of hierarchy authority and control in order to Effectively change the future That's an illusion that all of us can fall into right the the assumption that we control our Destiny and that if only we control a few more variables will have control That's what drives people crazy like if you want to be neurotic now if we wanted to make the analogy that many large Corporations are Institutionally neurotic. I'm all with you because effectively that's what that element of control is that's being terrified to open yourself up to the outside world because you are a hierarchical institution that has authority and control in its very DNA and That being a fundamental and perhaps Extinction level weakness of large hierarchical organizations I'm with you there because that is the end result of this. It is an issue of control We're not infected. All right. Let's take one more question here. I think maybe we have a bit more time Go for it. Thanks a lot Also, they agree with everybody cool analogies, but I Just would love to hear your thoughts about Whether Bitcoin has actually been attacked in all the ways or in the most effective ways Because one thing that makes sense to me as you know, if I for example had an attack that was very effective, right? I wouldn't use it now when I can't profit from it I would wait until I could profit from it Namely when a short market appeared where if I successfully executed the attack, I would make 10 million dollars 20 million dollars, you know any millions of dollars So I'm just not I get the analogy and what you're saying makes sense compared to distributed ledgers I'm just wondering on your perspective of what happens when much more economic incentive via short markets Appears for somebody who might have an attack to actually use it That's that's a really good point. And I think we should recognize and let's be realistic here Bitcoin has not been attacked in every way possible and as much as it possibly can yet and it certainly wasn't in the early days Bitcoin had one unique advantage, which was this Two-plus-year honeymoon period when nobody thought it was important or relevant or even would work If at that time people had attacked it it was it was much weaker, right? There were some horrific bugs in the early days, right? And there are plenty of core developers here who can talk about some of the hilarious things like for example being able to Create coin base with billions and billions of bitcoins in them. Whoops You know some of the validation rules slipped through blocks that had infinite coins in them And and many other bugs we got a honeymoon period then To fix the most egregious bugs and we still have a honeymoon period now because here's the hilarious thing Most of these banks most of these large organizations in finance most of the central banks They look at Bitcoin the way Walmart looks at a lemonade stand and They are still laughing Which is great? I hope they keep doing that for two more years three more years give us a bit more of a honeymoon period so we can get even more Robust because we really don't need Concerned attacks right now although from another perspective I would rather have some of the attacks materialized now Before we have mass adoption and a lot of users being disrupted, but this is a this is a continuous process in a race The real issue here is the timescale right and the interesting implication what we're saying here has is that a Lot of altcoins don't get that grace period anymore Which is why it's a lot harder to build robust altcoins because one you don't get a grace period on mining If anybody thinks it's gonna be valuable there there So it's not just like nobody noticed and you don't get a grace period on security anymore So if you've implemented things sloppily someone's gonna find it in fact just the other day I was reading this fantastic article about 42 coin. Are you familiar with 42 coin? It's a it's an altcoin that was designed To only ever have 42 coins It currently has 48 it would have taken two lines of code To constrain the mining algorithm so that after the initial Process of mining the first 42 coins as promised it stopped and in fact Several people noticed that this was missing from the code and they wrote to the developer who had since abandoned the project and So nobody patched it to nobody upgraded these systems because they were really running in an isolated environment and not really participating in a Real economy so nobody fixed them and then coin 43 was mined and At that point you have an existential crisis for this altcoin because it's no longer 42 coin This is gonna keep happening and it happens because there's not enough people interested in fixing the bugs You know, this is the other The flip side of this idea It's really hilarious to me when you talk to companies and you say hey, how about you open source your code? And they say oh my god if we do that people are going to see it and they might use it without paying us and The hardest thing to explain to a company that's doing software is you wish People would see it and use it most likely if you open source your code like the other 700,000 projects on github no one will give a shit and No one will use it and you will not create a community if you actually Managed to get people to see it use it and create a developer community around it Congratulations, you're in the 1% of projects that have achieved that it is a rare and difficult achievement And in fact Bitcoin has succeeded more in that than any of the altcoins or To go back to my previous analogy any of the permission ledgers would ever hope to have When they close themselves down from external scrutiny Do you want to pass it to the person next to you, please? Thank you Okay So I really like sewerettes too and I see them in New York City screwing around the subway And maybe they could survive a nuclear apocalypse or something more than the bankers up above But they're also living in muck and dirt in these little small passageways while the bankers up above Have huge buildings and they could they have also a lot of power and they could go live in Bermuda their bubbles give them a Lot of ability. I'd like Bitcoin to have a lot of power too. How did the sewer rats get power?  But guess what they died and the little furry things became us and we won So don't underestimate the little furry mammal among the trees because someday meteors happen And here's the thing when the dinosaurs see the meteor they go through the same process of the banks seeing Bitcoin They look up and they go. Well, that's not happening That can be real and Then they start screaming at it So to me the banks at the moment dealing with Bitcoin the ones that have begun to realize what is happening are now braying at the meteors Trying to make them stop falling on their head And you can't really do that Don't underestimate the tiny scrappy little incumbent the little competitor Scarring around the tree trunks because eventually they become the dominant species and Remember where and how the internet developed in the beginning because I went into phone companies and did presentations explaining to them why they needed to Address and understand and adapt to the threat of Decentralized communications. We didn't call it that then but TCP IP and you know what they did they laughed They laughed at the internet these massive companies like AT&T and In my case I went to the Greek National Phone Company OTE Doesn't really exist anymore fell apart, but They laughed at the idea of the internet because the idea of that through this messy process of decentralized routing where You draw packets all the time. That's not a bug. That's a feature dropping packets. It's messy It's nasty that this could actually compete with these carefully constructed hierarchical systems of these global spanning copper and Increasingly digital networks. It was completely laughable They went off and designed ISDN and said ha Better than the internet it can do video conferencing The internet can't scale to do video conferencing or voice or any of those things Fast-forward 20 years now. They're running their entire voice network on top of the internet things change much faster than we anticipate and This the power and scalability of decentralized systems and the robustness of systems that initially appear to be messy and Sloppy like the internet was can often surprise But what doesn't or shouldn't surprise you is the hubris of those who think that the little scrappy competitor won't amount too much All right, I'll take one more question and then we'll wrap it up Thank you there you go Alan Turing and the enigma demonstrated that no form of Cryptography any form of cryptography can eventually be broken all through history when you had Navajo and Various types of cryptography. There was always something that no one nobody imagined that would crack it Do you believe that to be true or not? Yeah, absolutely all forms of cryptography can be broken all forms of Photography are eventually broken that is a truism including that behind Bitcoin Including that currently behind Bitcoin. Yes. The question again is timescale. You see the real secret of The enigma was the secret of the broken enigma the reason Bletchley Park was successful in essentially winning World War two at least for the North Sea and the British forces Was because they managed to hide the secret of breaking enigma because what would have happened if the secret that they broke enigma leaked Enigma would have been improved and changed and the damage that They had managed to cause which at that point was complete and systemic capture of all of the cryptographic Communications of the Germans would have been contained And so they would only be able to capture the enigma machines that hadn't yet upgraded Isolation was the downfall of that system because by definition it had to be isolated So the lesson we need to learn is We expect cryptography to be broken We expect every system and subsystem within Bitcoin eventually to be weakened and what we need to do is one make sure that any such weaknesses are not systemic and Complete and then identify the weaknesses early enough to start addressing them so that they don't become systemic and the best way You do that is by existing in an open collaborative environment where you learn about those weaknesses If we see the SA gets hacked today Or becomes weak today, what does that mean? Does that mean that every person in the world can suddenly crack? ECDSA at any scale no It will mean that for a certain class of very well-funded attackers certain types of ECDSA with an enormous effort can be cracked at which point our friend Greg back there will be building a side chain that doesn't use set 256k one sec P256k one in fact the example of the Schnorr signatures implementation on Elements alpha already shows you the possibility of having a Bitcoin subsystem that allows for a variety of Signature technologies to be used within the Bitcoin ecosystem. There's no reason why we all need to use ECDSA We can add a patch the system that recognizes Let's say Apples curve that they use. I don't remember what it's called. It's a long number Or that uses a completely different cryptographic system. I'd probably select something Created verified audited by Bruce schnarr But the bottom line is that you could create in fact an ecosystem where you don't rely on any single curve And therefore the system is robust because every customer can pick which curve they want to use or which signing system They want to use so that even if one of them was compromised that only compromises a subset That's possible to do today the real question We need to ask is like two weeks ago Shah one was shown to be weak eventually Shah 256 is going to be weak And at that point We had better have reached the point in the curve where fees matter more than rewards Otherwise the consensus mechanism won't let us upgrade But there are always weaknesses no cryptographic system lasts forever Which is why you don't want to bake it into a permission ledger behind a wall that nobody ever inspects maintains or updates Because then it's going to become weak. And in fact those systems are going to become monocultures. They will lack security biodiversity to use a to use the term Strangely, but they will lack the diversity required Bitcoin is not very diverse today But it is getting more diverse and will continue to get more diverse and more robust All right. Thank you all appreciate your time and thanks so much for coming


Hey NCSSM community. My name is Jules Taylor and I'm currently a senior. I just wanted to extend my gratitude to all of the educators, any of the donors, and anyone that's been working on the front line to help our community out through this tough time. Hi, my name is Vivian Bryan. I was a recent senior at the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics and I just wanted to express my extreme gratitude to everyone that is putting in work right now. And so yeah, thank you so much. Keep being awesome. Greetings. I'm Chancellor Todd Roberts. To all alumni and friends of NCSSM coping with the far-reaching effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, I want to send our greetings. We're hoping we're managing as well as possible under these challenging circumstances. We're thinking in particular about those of you who are in areas with major outbreaks. Those of you on the front lines responding to the crisis. Thank you to the physicians, nurses, and other healthcare providers, to scientists, engineers, developing vaccines, tools, and treatments, to first responders, educators adapting suddenly to remote teaching and learning, and to all of those providing the essential services we all depend on. All of us at NCSSM want you to know how grateful we are for all you're doing. Thank you so much and please take care.


Thank you Mr. Speaker. During the course of this year, the Department of Education has had to bid farewell to quite a few school administrators, teachers and top level officers who served our country well for decades. They would have to operationalize the vision of successive administrations. They contributed significantly to the development of people and country and the left is indeed indelible. Within the Department of Education, three of our top level managers proceeded on retirement. The commitment and dedication of Mr. Dawson Ragnanan, Dr. Claudia Louis and Mrs. Beverly Francis contributed to making our system one which was more robust and more inclusive. At the school level, the exemplary leadership of principals such as Mr. Fenilla, Mr. Thomas, Mr. Louisi, Mrs. King, Mrs. Johnny, Mrs. Charles, Mrs. Sabina Ale and Mrs. Newton should be emulated. I can only ask that our aspiring principals follow in their footsteps as they continue to improve the work that these principals would have started. Some teachers will also be missed Mr. Speaker. The care they showed or showered rather on their students did not go unnoticed. Our system will miss the perseverance and enthusiasm of teachers such as Claire Stendilla of the Olio Combined School, Mary Plant of Moghuj, Porsche Edmund of Daniel Riviere and Frances Palmfield of the Miku Primary School. And while these individuals have all proceeded on retirement, I know that they are still willing to contribute to the enhancement of our education system. I wish them all the best knowing that they will at some point be called upon to act upon the principles and teachers in our education system. There is still a major rule for our retirees and the Department of Education will tap into their expertise and resources to help us bolster our education system even further. Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the Cabinet of Ministers and by extension the government and people of St. Lucia, I wish the retirees all the best in their future endeavors.


This 2017 Ram 2500 Crew Cab Short Box Big Horn Sport is stock number 12135Z. We are here at Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. You're new and used heavy-duty truck and RAM headquarters.

The Sport package gives you the 20-inch painted alloy rims. Those are in nice shape, and it has brand new Firestone Transforce HT LT28560R20 tires. You can still see the little wear knobs on them. We put those on in our safety inspection. Frame and underbody is in excellent condition as well. Front fender is in nice shape. I didn't see any major dents or dings on there. You get the blacked-out headlight bezels, part of that Sport package as well. And the front bumper is in excellent shape. I didn't see any major dents or dings. You get the front bumper parking sensors. You get the painted black front grille and RAM logo. And the hood is in nice condition as well. I didn't see any dents or dings on there. Passengers side front fender looks really good. And the passengers side rim no scuffs or scrapes. Really in black crystal pearl, really a good color. It's got a lot of metal flaking in it. And you can see just how nice that paint is in the sunlight. It really looks good. And as you go down this side of the truck, take note of how clean the body is, how reflective and mirror-like that paint is. We take these HD videos so if you are far away or even if you're close by and just cannot make the trip down but you're still interested in purchasing the vehicle, you can see the truck here, the truck and have confidence in the vehicle that you're looking at before you even get here. So when you do get here there's absolutely no surprises. And you can make a smart and informed buying decision from wherever you're at. And if this video helped you make that decision, let your salesman know that you saw the video. It was helpful and that you enjoyed it. And that Brett sent you. Back tires are just as much or are brand new as well. And the frame and underbody is in really nice shape. This one does have all the remaining factory exhaust. So it hasn't been altered in any way, shape or form. Other than a little bit of dust under there. Looks pretty good. Lower rockers look really good as well. As do the cab corners. I didn't see any corrosion on them and it does come with some aftermarket painted step bars. Down the rest of this side of the truck, the box looks really good. Rear bumper is painted as well. You get the backup parking sensors, full towing package, which includes a receiver hitch, four pin and seven pin wiring. The tailgate is in really nice shape as well. Note that you do get the gloss black, Ram and four by four logo back here as well. Comes with a soft tonneau cover. I didn't see any rips or tears on that. And it does have the cargo cam up there. We'll check that out in just a little bit. Comes with a factory spray and bed liner, LED bed lighting, fifth wheel and gooseneck prep package. And it does have the seven pin wiring back here as well. Tailgate shuts nice and solidly. And as you go down the driver's side, just as clean as that passenger side. No dents or dings in the box. And for full disclosure, this back rim, just as nice as the rest. Driver's side doors are in really nice shape. It does have the heated fold up tow mirrors. They have built in directional signals on them. They do fold in like so. Inside the big horn package gives you the gray cloth interior. You get the 40, 20, 40 split bench seating, no rips, no tears on these seats. They're in really nice shape. Power driver's seat with lumbar and these front seats are heated. Factory all-weather floor mats, auto headlamps. You get audio controls on the back of the steering wheel. Power windows, power locks, power mirrors. And these mirrors do power fold in. I always like showing both sides so that you know that both sides are working properly. We'll hop inside and check out the miles, radio, and everything that this truck has to offer on the interior. You can see that this one has 62,632 miles. You get the 7-inch LCD digital display. You get the digital speedometer compass, outside temp, range to empty, the time you can change all those corners to read whatever you'd like. It comes with the heated leather-wrapped steering wheel. No rips or tears or major scuffs on there. It has the cruise controls on the right, Bluetooth and information center controls on the left, audio controls on the back of the steering wheel. Six-speed automatic transmission with the optional tab shift. It has the AM FM and Sirius XM radio capabilities on here, the 8.4 3C radio.

If you have the tonneau cover off, obviously, you can see what's going on in the bed. And then you get your dual climate controls here.  It does come with a 115 volt, 150 watt plug-in. Carpeting and passenger side format and seat are in excellent condition. No rips or tears on there. And the headliner is in really nice shape. I didn't see any rips or tears on there. Map lights up there. Power slide and rear window button. And your home link buttons for your garage door security systems and lighting systems. 911 and assist buttons in the rear view mirror. We'll take a quick look at the back seats. And then we'll start it up and take a look under the hood. Back seats just as nice as front seats. No rips or tears back here. It does have the latch child safety system for any child car seats you may have. Power sliding rear window with the built-in rear defrost. You also get a Kurt goose neck kit over there. Seats are in nice shape. They do fold up for extra storage. You have a load floor underneath here, which is nice. If you've got muddy boots or tools, put them on there. You're not going to get your seats all dirty. Or if you've got pets with both sides down and then they have a nice flat place to lay. Storage underneath there. And you get in-floor storage under each side in the back with removable containers for easy cleaning. You can put ice and drinks in there. And it's like you have too many coolers wherever you go. Child safety locks on the back doors. Bottoms of the doors are all in really nice condition. We will start it up and take a look under the hood. Starts right up. No check engine lights or anything like that. I would personally like to thank you for checking out the video today. And hopefully from this HD video, you will have been able to verify the quality and condition of this truck inside and out. Under the hood, we have the 6.7 liter Cummins diesel engine. Engine bay is very clean. It runs very smooth. Once again, this truck has been fully safe even. And inspected by Alaserva Shop has a fresh oil and filter change. All the fluids have been checked and topped off. And this truck is 100% ready to go. There's your mission sticker. Four brand new tires.

Hi, I'm George Cao and today I'm here with one of my clients, Bing's Huang. And I'm excited to share with you what she has learned in our work together thus far. Bing's is one of the members of my client group program, it's called MasterHeart. And let me read you her bio. Hi Bing's, first of all let me just bring you forward. Hi Josh. Great. That's great to be here. Yeah, great to have you here. So let me read your bio Bing's for the viewer and then we'll start talking about what you've been learning in your business development so that something maybe others watching this can benefit from. So let's see here. So Bing's Huang is a self-love coach and an energy healer. And her mission is to help heart-based business owners, which are many of you, to unwind your emotional resistance as well as your physical pain to relieve that that might be getting in the way of you having your thriving business that you like. Her unique gift is helping clients feel healed, effective and happy as they grow their heart-based business. And Bing's is in Singapore, she works with people around the world so don't be shy if you are in North America or Europe or Australia. You can still work with Bing's. So Bing's thanks for doing this. Thanks for being here today. Thank you for that opportunity. Yeah, so one of the things you mentioned in our preparation for this call was that you used to of course do your healing one-to-one and you didn't use to share content because you felt like your perspectives you only share them with your clients. What helped you to start sharing your perspectives about healing and energy more openly? I guess I've been listening and I've been watching your videos and I've been reading your posts and I really like what you shared. It helps me to build a much better connection with you. I would like that for my audience too. I think that is the main motivation that made me want to experiment with this approach. Yeah, wonderful. And you have been doing some writing. People your audience is starting to like your writing there and you also have started making videos. So maybe talk to us a bit about each one.  Let's start with writing. Did you use to write a lot or is it a new thing for you to write publicly? Tell us about that. I used to write very short posts during the times when I feel very motivated by a client session, this particular experience made me want to share the insights that were gained during the session itself which I feel is really important to be shared. So that made me feel like, oh I want to share this, I really want to share this. But I don't really do that regularly enough. So I would share when the pressure is built up so much that I feel like I just have to share even though I don't feel confident in my writing. And now I just, I feel like it's easier to create content just by creating the curating content that I consume on a day-to-day basis like links that I love, videos that I love, books, even comedy series that I feel helps me understand more about my own work in healing emotions. So yeah, I think that's great and usually I just shared, previously I just shared without adding anything, without adding any comments so it's like a viral share, just share now, share now.  So I find it very meaningful and it also gives me great pleasure to increase the value of that particular post. And as for videos. Oh, let me jump in a little bit here. I want to just, you said a lot of great things here and I want to emphasize it for everyone who's watching this. You know, if you're watching this and you aren't sure what content to share, do what things has been doing, which is share the content from other websites, other people, other people's videos, other people's links that you have found beneficial, other articles you've read, like things that you've read, maybe you read a book or you watched a television series that kind of somehow relates to your service in the world. Share that. And you know, things are saying, you know, she used to just share it without saying it. Now she says a little bit something to make it more relevant, right? Things to your audience. So I'll be sure to put a link to Bing's Facebook fan page so that you can see how she's doing that. I think that'll be interesting. And then, Bing, you also said that you share insights that come to you when you work with clients, when you have a client sessions. So tell us a bit about that. Yeah, kind of, yeah, just anything you want to say there. So sometimes when I work with clients, certain things keep popping up, like having mistrust in the universe, or feeling very lonely, because there's nobody else like what my client is doing. So she saw my clients, they have a very specific purpose in life, but sometimes they feel lonely. So it's a thing that keeps popping up. And when I think of the insights that come, which is to just feel the love that's already here. It's something like your energy reboot that you mentioned about your workshops. Yeah, I think it is very simple, a really simple reminder. I believe that we are all aware of this, but it doesn't get mentioned often enough. So I felt there's great motivation to share. And talk a bit about your consistency now that you are getting more consistent. Maybe how are you able to be more consistent? What's motivating you or what did you change to allow yourself to become more consistent with your content? I really want to create more healing videos, because I find that there are so many healers around that each other has a different style, a different perspective on healing. So I wanted to offer people a taste of what my healing is like. But it felt very difficult to create a video in the first place, because I had so many ideas running around in my head, I didn't know how to share. So when I set up certain guidelines, like limiting each video to be five minutes long, then it becomes easier to share my views. And I have a list of ideas for many videos that keeps on growing. So I felt motivated to share, to post one video every week. And the other thing is I'm also not particular about the location, which I record the video. So it makes it a lot more easier to share, to create videos on a more casual basis. Yeah, like one of the videos you made recently, you were in your car, right? And you know, there were sounds of birds and you were maybe some traffic and you were concerned that maybe it's not good to have these background sounds. But when you shared it, of course, you shared it inside the client group, our client group MasterHeart first, or you got asked for some feedback on it. And everybody said, you know what, the background sounds actually makes it seem more authentic. It actually doesn't take away from your video. That maybe adds to it, right? So I thought that was interesting. Yeah, I really appreciate the support and encouragement and the feedback in the MasterHeart group. In the past, I would spend a lot of time and effort to create one video. Then I would be so anxious to get feedback. And I felt like this defeats the purpose of me sharing and blessing everyone with my videos. So now I feel much more grounded in that approach in creating my system video. Yeah, yeah, that's great. Yeah, it kind of takes the initial wave of support from, you know, I always tell people, listen, if you're not comfortable on video first, just make some videos, share it with a group of supportive friends. You know, whether it's like a client group like MasterHeart or just your own, you know, three friends that are supportive of your business and are likely to encourage you to share it with them first and say, hey, I'm learning how to make video. I'd love your encouragement or any suggestions, you know, be gentle. And yeah, people are usually very supportive. You pick the right people to share with. And that kind of support will motivate you to keep going. If you share more with your audience, you know, you'll start getting more encouragement. So what have you noticed in starting to post content more regularly in terms of your own visibility and in terms of your engagement with people? Tell us a bit about that. I feel like I'm getting a lot more comments and likes and even shares by people, by my audience who are not my family and friends. Yeah, so in the start, we always get support from family and friends who like your videos. But sometimes you don't really think they would actually watch it. And now I feel more confident that there are actually people watching it and actually sharing it forward without me asking them to do it. So that feels very, very, very wonderful. It feels like I'm contributing, even though it's not a, I'm not getting paid for this, but I feel like I'm getting more sure of the work that I do as a healer. And also when the paid clients come, I'll be able to be more confident in, and I'm more confident in knowing what I can provide them. And other than that, I'm also getting some enquiries on my services, which is great. Yeah, absolutely. That's fantastic. And just to give people context, like you have three young children.  And you are building this business very much on the side. When did you kind of start creating this business? What's been your journey? Just give us a little bit of context. Okay. This business is my first baby. And I was actually working in the aircraft industry doing continuous improvement. But I felt jaded in the sense that I'm not, the people I work with, they're not happy because they're sort of forced to do it. So I wanted to do things on a more personal level, so continuous improvement on a person-to-person basis on a personal level. And that's how I got to know and learn about energy healing. And I had the courage to do the business after I left the company. But very soon after, we were blessed to have our first child. So after the first two cheats, I felt the urge to go back to it again, to grow my business. I feel very happy and fulfilled, nurturing both my children and also this business. I think it's a good balance to do both this business and also in nurturing the family.  And that's such a difference because I remember growing up with adults around me who were stressed by their work and didn't really love their work. So it's quite a wonderful role model that you're creating. And that's great and you're starting to get more inquiries because of the content and I think it's going to keep growing. And you're also in the process of creating like online workshops and online courses, right? Yeah, I was very excited to have my first collaboration during an online class with a fellow Master Heart member. And yeah, that makes me feel so happy doing a group healing life. And I really want to do more of that. And so now I'm exploring the online class to help people, to help heart-based business owners become more comfortable with being more visible in their business. Yeah, wow, that's great. It's going to be such a need and a want, I think, from the audience. So do you have a sense of when, well, I'll be sure to give people a link to your website and your Facebook so they can follow you. But, you know, hey, if anybody is watching this and say I wish I could be emotionally more courageous to be more visible in my business because I know that that's going to be such a difference for people finding me, contacting me, then Bing's is going to have a wonderful online course that's energy-based to help you, you know, through guided meditations help you to become, love that process of becoming visible. Bing, do you want to share anything else about how you work with clients, your offer, what, how do you, yeah, if somebody is interested in maybe working with you, tell us about that. Okay, I think my greatest strength, the way my husband distracts me is that I'm totally harmless. So, so my clients feel very comfortable sharing their conflicting emotions with me. And yeah, they're not afraid of being judged by me. That's what I really need from my clients to be honest about how they feel. You don't have to describe how you feel, but you need to feel how you feel so that I can help you to process it further. I work on an energetic basis, an energetic level to help you unwind those feelings that can impact your physical, emotional, spiritual level. I feel like, I feel that being courageous enough to feel your feelings is the best thing you can do to help move yourself forward to grow your business. Yeah, that's beautiful. That's great. Great. Well, let's wrap up this conversation. Is there anything else you want to say before we wrap things up? Just to express my gratitude, I'm very, very happy to be in this community of Master Heart and to have the group support and also your guidance in the workshops. Yeah, and I hope that more heart-based business owners can join our group. Yeah, thank you. Thank you. Well, we do have a limit. So, we're just about full. If you're a heart-based business owner, find out what things is offering in terms of the energetic and emotional support that can help you to become more visible and really create the content that your ideal audience is thirsty for, is hungry for.  And if you would like some support in that, Bing's is a wonderful partner, friend, coach, healer to work with. So, check out her website, check out her Facebook page. And thank you, Bing's, for what you do in the world and for doing this call. Thank you, Josh. Thanks.


So, what I want to lean in today is the conversation about being used and being with men who are unable to commit because the vast majority of women who follow my channel are women who seek partnership and relationship. They seek a companion. Their partner in crime, as sometimes it's put. And so, I want to lean into the guys who are unable to commit versus those men who are able to commit. Now, one of the general differences between men and women, and not that this is an absolute, this is simply a generalization, men tend to be more focused on sex and women tend to be more focused on commitment. This is why oftentimes women act a bit righteous, and there I said it, many of you act righteous because you have witnessed, you have experienced men who are unable to commit and because you're able to commit or you desire commitment, I should say.
