The fastest car speeding ticket on record was recorded in May of 2003 in Houston. Any guess on how fast the speed was going? It's pretty insane. A motorist driving a Koenigsegg CCR Swedish sports car was allegedly clocked at a whopping 242 miles per hour or 389 kilometers in a 75 mile per hour zone. You can compare the speed to that of a Peregrine Falcon which clocks in at 242 miles per hour while chasing its prey. They are also the fastest animal in recorded history. His sports car was impounded and he spent some time in jail. I bet he didn't mind. He gets to brag for the rest of his life that he went as fast as the fastest animal on earth.


Hi everyone, I'm Sarah and welcome to School of Hustle. This episode is all about autism. Today we're going to be speaking with Jessica Margulies about the Spectrum Bow, a physical fitness program designed for those on the autism spectrum. We'll be speaking to founder Jessica about why she started it, how she did it, and what her vision is. We'll also be speaking to Sean Powell, Doctor of Psychology, who works with those with autism. We'll also be speaking with Allison Woods, who has autism herself to get her take on what it is like to have autism and how the Spectrum Bow would be beneficial. So let's begin this episode of School of Hustle. Welcome and thank you so much for being here. I'm so excited to learn about how you started this. Thank you. I'm excited. I'm excited to be here. Thank you for having me. Could you explain a little bit about what the Spectrum Bow is? Yeah, the Spectrum Bow is a non-contact physical fitness program for children with special needs, predominantly children with autism. You know, it's a program that focuses on boxing, it uses boxing as a way to facilitate following directions, communication, you go, I go, socialization, and most importantly, it's a program to foster a sense of confidence in a population that tends to be on the lower level of the confidence scale. What parts of boxing particularly do you think is beneficial for autism? Certainly, certainly just the movement itself is going to be helpful, also interacting with the coach, also interacting with others who are also going through the same program. All those things are going to be very beneficial. For everybody, being social and talking and just being with another human being is very natural to people, where for me it is incredibly difficult. I'm great at learning things, I'm great at learning information that's presented in a logical way, step by step, but one of the biggest issues is applying that for myself. There are lots of different programs out there that really help people on the autism spectrum with their ability to communicate, because it is a disorder of communication, help them with their ability to move, and I think help them develop what we call a theory of mind that's understand what another person is thinking. So let's go a little bit back in time here. I know kind of how you started this, but if you could just talk about how you founded this amazing organization, what was your idea behind it? Being a special ed teacher and also being a fitness instructor, there wasn't a lot of opportunities. I sought out for children with autism to be active, to be engaged in any sort of community. I started boxing to alleviate stress, and when I started boxing, the way that I felt was unlike any other way that I felt before trying any other fitness. I felt confident, I felt like I could take on whatever came my way, and working with children with special needs, I know how frustrating it is for them to find this feeling. A lot of the times they feel outcasted or just frustrated with not being able to fit in, and I thought to myself, wow, this would be such a great feeling for my kids with autism to feel, and I decided to put the two together and started the spectrum bout using a boxing therapy in order to elicit all those things that I wanted to get from my students, such as communication, mainly confidence building, and all that socialization, and I used this sport of boxing to do that. I think it's so cool that the whole reason your business was started was because you wanted to find a way to release your own stress. What was the process of actually coming up with that idea and getting your first student? Because I can imagine it may have been, some people may have had questions about, is it really a good idea to put an autistic kid in boxing? Yeah, that was definitely a huge hurdle. It's very frustrating for these students to not be able to communicate with us or process their thoughts, and so a lot of the times we see aggression, and just like you said, the first question on parents' mind is why would I teach my already aggressive child how to box? It's actually the opposite. We think aggression and fighting, but it's actually a sense of control, and it's a form of a dance almost, you go, I go, and so for those aggressive students, we kind of use the program in order to teach them, okay, just like you and I, when we need to get out of frustration, we know that we hold it and we don't act upon it on someone whether we want to or not. And so it's kind of a form of we teach them, okay, this is where you alleviate your aggression from the day and you only hit a bag or pads when your gloves are on, and it gives them a sense of calm and they know that this is when I can let that frustration. Boxing would be really important to kind of give autistic people another resource to put their anger, frustration out. I think once you show a person boxing, if they have an interest in it, they'll focus on that. I have a sister that has a disorder, so I understand what it's like to deal with that. Do you think that they remember that throughout the day and when they're having this trouble communicating or maybe someone's not understanding or do they go back to that thought in their mind where, okay, I have my lesson today, I'm going to hold this in so that I can actually take it out there? Yeah, of course. I've had multiple situations. Being a teacher of children with special needs and working predominantly with children with autism, you know, a lot of the times the strategy that we use is something called a social story or a script to teach kids how to get through certain parts of their day. For instance, when I want to engage with a teacher, I can raise my hand or tap them on the shoulder. And a lot of the times our students will repeat that all throughout the day and that's how they remember these situations. Now with boxing, they kind of learned like, oh, this felt really good and I reinforced in my class like this is where we get out our aggression and you're doing such a good job. And, you know, I've had parents tell me that one student was getting bullied, a verbal student and he was aggressive before he started and a child was bullying him and he said before he would be aggressive towards that student. And with boxing, he actually walked up to the student calmly and said, I'm not sure why you're saying what you're saying, but I'm not afraid. And walked away and boxing gave him that confidence to know that he's strong enough but he needs to control it and he can control it and not engage in that aggression. That's so inspiring. I learned that there's a lot of issues with adults that have autism not having the resources or not having opportunity. Yeah, I think a lot of the state and federal programs are aimed really at children and once people are in that adult camp, you know, the funding for that disorder goes down significantly. Yeah, specifically for adults or kids who are coming out of the school system, we're dropped a lot. You know, the day we graduate, what now? We don't have those systems that schools do and a lot of us because of it are unemployed. One of the things about that we wanted to do was not only give a therapy program for children and adults on the spectrum but also give back to the community and give them more opportunity and we just had our first graduate of our program. That's so exciting. What did you do? I've been in my program for four years now. Is this Joshua by chance? I knew it. Joshua was featured on your Today Show feature and he is just the coolest, sponkiest guy. I loved watching him. He is so into boxing and can you tell us a little bit about him because I think his story is really inspiring and a great example of the impact that spectrum can make on kids' lives. Yeah, so Joshua started with us about four years ago. We were at a gym in Brooklyn. It was just when we had started the program. I remember his very first day. He wanted nothing to do with the program. As per the usual, I totally get it. You're like, trust me, it will be good. Just try it. He maybe got like five minutes of work from him the first day that he came. Okay, it's a process. Exactly. It was frustrating for the parents. It was frustrating for him. At first they were like, I don't know. And I said, trust me, keep bringing him. It's not going to happen right away. And I tell this to a lot of my students. Every time he would come, we would get a little bit more and a little bit more. Did it happen in a week? No, but he's been in the program for four years. He is my star student.  I'm now running Zoom classes with him and he's teaching me, which is wonderful. Wow, wait. Okay, so because of COVID-19, you've had to shift to Zoom classes. So tell us a little bit about that experience as a business owner myself. I've seen a lot of changes that I've had to deal with. And I'd love to hear what you've gone through. So how are you adapting? I kind of offered this as perhaps a preschool, like before school opportunity or a break. 20 minutes to 30 minutes, depending on what the kids can handle. And it's just kind of like a moment to get up and move our body. Instead of just sitting there and doing work, they need to move. They need to maybe be silly for 20 minutes with me. I don't know. Maybe we get like two punches in, but at least we're moving. And now going back to Joshua, we're actually going to be offering him a potential job as a trainer. Does he know that yet? He does not. His mother does. Hopefully you'll offer it before this interview comes out. For children with autism to have another peer that's also on the spectrum is so much more relatable than an adult coming in. And I've had like very hard to work with children come to the program. And once Joshua steps in, it's like night and day with these students. One of the things that I love so much about people on the spectrum is they are very accepting of each other no matter what is going on. I think the biggest thing is just because we're autistic and would rather be alone or we need breaks. We also want to be with people. We want to interact. A lot of us want to find love, want to find camaraderie, want to find a meaning. And it's such a disconnect because we want these things, but we're so confused by how to do it. Sounds like you're learning from them too. Just like they're learning from you. I think we can learn a lot from autistic people. And in so many levels, not just about communication, but empathy and understanding and being more open minded. Correct. I mean, I think it's just a matter of how we see, how we see the world and how we see others. Yeah. I think one of the most amazing things about working with people with special needs is as you're adding to someone's life, you're changing their life, you're making it better.  That's, that's what I do. I want to, I want to improve on someone's life and help them. And I think that's beautiful. It's, it's very inspiring. Let's talk about how you actually launched this now though, because this whole show is about entrepreneurship after all. So the spectrum about is a nonprofit. How do you start a nonprofit? Do you have to get funding? What was your process? That's a really good question because it was a process. Like I said, I was a teacher. I did not go to school for business. Right. And so that was a learning curve. Wow. Yeah. Still doing. I remember the very first day I was like, okay, it's just going to be a business. I like bought how to run a business. Don't we all, we all start there. We're like, how do you and Google and just fill in the blank over and over again. Yeah. So that was just, that was interesting. But, um, you know, I met a lot of great people along the way that really believed in the idea. And, you know, from getting my first shot to being able to run it at Gleason's gym in Brooklyn, the owner of Gleason's is an amazing human.  Um, that's a very important skill to have though, as an entrepreneur, the ability to have the courage to just try, even if you fail, just keep trying because eventually it works. And you're an example of that. Yeah. I mean, my friend told me I was crazy. I was like, I'm just going to tell him about it and see what he thinks. And, um, you know, and he loved it and he said, well, do it here. And I said, yes. We did. And you know, it was great. It is challenging for children with autism. It's loud there. There's, um, you know, it's not your typical equinox gym. It's a little gritty. And it's a boxing gym, but that's what makes it special too. But I think for autistic kids, um, and correct me if I'm wrong, but, um, I think the majority, uh, don't, and don't like loud noises. Yeah. It was challenging. It is good to learn how to deal with the noises, but it was very challenging. Um, and we are so grateful for that opportunity. Yeah. So do you have to move somewhere else? I had to move in order to, um, give my students what they needed. I met a lawyer, um, through a friend who really, really was touched by what the program was and what I was trying to accomplish. Um, and he helped me. That's great. I decided that a nonprofit was the way I wanted to go, mainly because of what the program was and, you know, what I wanted to be for the community. Um, and that was a process in itself. Um, also took a big chunk of change. So that was fun. Um, so did you have to do any funding for the nonprofit? Yeah. A lot of it was from my savings and thank God every day, I have the most amazing family who are very supportive. Um, they're my number one investors in, um, about fitness. So we were able to fund the 501 D3 and get that up and running. Can you tell me about a 501 three? I don't, I'm not even sure what you just said because I don't run a non-for-profit. So a 501 D3 is your nonprofit status. Okay. It gets you the tax exemptions. Um, you know, it sounds all great and phenomenal. And I'm still, you know, learning about all of this, but you know, coming with, when you do have 501 C three, 501 C three status, uh, you do have tax exemptions. However, I need to have board meetings and all the money needs to be allocated. Um, it needs to go back to the programs. You can pay employees with this, obviously. Um, but do you have taxes you have to pay? Or is there no taxes? Yeah, there is taxes. Um, for instance, you know, all my trainers are independent, um, contractors. So for now, does that mean they're, they can be covered within the business, even though they're not full-time employees? Um, so they actually, as the businesses right now, cause we're still very small, um, they would, they get that, um, W two. Okay. Gotcha. Yeah. And then it's qualified as a nonprofit because it's still staying within the business. Exactly. And so for me to pay myself, which I haven't in five years. That is dedication right there. That shows that your heart's in this. Yeah.  Um, it's not about that. Everything has been to give back to this community. That's why I initially started it. Yes. It's a hundred percent great to have a successful business. And that's what, what I also want at the end of the day. But, um, you know, I started this business for this population to give back to this population. Um, and you know, until I can get to that point, this business to that point where I, I can, you know, start paying myself or like other board members for the work that they're doing. Um, you know, everyone's on board with just really getting this program to where it needs to be. And I know you asked me earlier long term. Um, we would love for this program to be in possibly right now. We're at title boxing in Forrest Hills, but I would love for the program to be in every title boxing and, um, you know, and just be a therapy now that we are forced into zoom. It also opens a whole world of wow, I can reach a child in any country as long as they're awake when you are. Exactly. And so that's also another world that even though we're forced into this world, it's kind of brought to light more opportunities. So do you have a, a kind of timeline that is in your mind? Cause I know that in the long term, you do have to eventually make a profit. Otherwise it'll be hard to continue the business. There's definitely a timeline. Uh, like I said, I've been at this for five years and I've also been doing it as a full-time teacher. So I basically have two full-time jobs. So has gone to a point and it will not go further unless I 100% put myself behind it. Yeah. Um, I also, you know, have taken about to where I could on my own. Um, and I, you know, have amazing support that's there to help me to push me on that business aspect that I was lacking. Um, and, you know, I would love, you know, the next step is to really build about where it is right now. Um, I would love to see right now we only have class one time a week, but I would love to see every day. Um, and start taking data and building our curriculum, which is already in the process. And then once that's attainable, really presenting it to a grander scale and getting it, you know, not just where we are right now, but maybe more areas. What type of marketing have you done at this point? Have you used social media? What tactics do you use? Social media and also like I said, I will talk to anyone and I don't know where the time comes from, but I find it. Make the time. And I go to schools of children with autism. I reach out to previous people that I worked with in the autism world. Um, I reach out to organizations. I literally spent a whole day just emailing organizations, doctors, schools and people that work with children. Yeah. This is real. This is literally the school of hustle one on one right here. What you're saying? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I walked around with flyers one day just around the area and just handed it out. Um, way to hustle girl. That's what you got to do. So in 2016, the CDC reported that one in every 54 children in the US are diagnosed with autism. That number was shocking to me. I'm so curious. Do you as a psychologist have any insight on why so many people are being diagnosed with autism? It might be a tough question, but I was alarmed at the quantity. Well, the first thing I think is, I think people are diagnosed at a greater extent because the new spectrum diagnosis, it allows, uh, many people to now be brought in the camp. People need to be aware of neuro psychologists that they do assessments. If you feel that your children may be on the spectrum, find a new psychologist in your area to assess your children. Yeah. Um, I think having that diagnosis isn't necessarily like, um, damaging. I think people sometimes think that the diagnosis in and of itself is a bad thing. Once the diagnosis is put forward, then, uh, you know, treatment can begin. Well, you have a very good point. I think if anyone listening, if there's someone that you know, or maybe your child that could potentially have it, there's no fear in just getting tested to see, um, because then you can start taking the steps to actually find solutions. I've learned so much from you. Is there anything else that you would want to share? Now that you have this platform about people with autism. Uh, if we sound very complicated and difficult, once you put out the things, once you have to act very differently with someone with autism, you have to be really patient and you have to be really empathetic. We may come across offensive or you may come across too cold and rude sometimes, but really we're also really passionate. We're really intelligent. We have unwavering loyalty to our friends and the people that we admire, we do so with almost like a childlike wonder. That was wonderful. Well, thank you so much for speaking with us, Allison. Uh, I'm so glad to share this with everyone listening because it's really important to understand where you're coming from and, and help educate people. So I have one last question for you. Um, what is one piece of advice that you would give to entrepreneurs that are interested in starting up a business? It doesn't have to be a business like yours, but any business. Yeah. I mean the one piece of advice I would give if it's something that you're passionate about and that you can 100% see yourself waking up and being excited and knowing no matter what anyone told you that this is something that you want to do and something that just serves to be brought to life. To just go against everything and anything that's telling you not to do it and just, just stay behind it. And there are going to be days where you completely doubt yourself. Um, but those little moments that you see why you knew that this was something you had to do, um, is all worth it and to just keep going. And I can certainly attest to what you're saying that is exactly what it's like to start a business, but you're a great example of how something, some great idea can turn into something so inspirational and beneficial to many people. Um, it's been amazing having you on the show Jessica. So thanks for joining us and thank you for everyone who has tuned in today.

With this week being Holocaust Remembrance Week, we have a story of one Navy veteran who witnessed a concentration camp first-hand. Lieutenant Jack Taylor at a World War II team infiltrated enemy lines and evaded the enemy for over six weeks. The team was finally captured and sent to one of the most notorious of all Nazi concentration camps. I was taken to this Mauthausen concentration camp, an extermination camp, the worst in Germany, where we have been starving and beaten and killed. Unfortunately, my turn hadn't come. Just days before its scheduled execution, American forces liberated Camp Mauthausen and Taylor was set free. This is just one story of a Navy veteran who experienced the Holocaust first-hand. For more information about Navy Heritage, check out the Naval History and Heritage Command website.

YouTube what's up, man? I know you guys been asking about CFM What is the new season started as all everybody asked me just want to Super Bowl if you haven't watched that video check back If you want to watch those games live twitch.tv slash stuff that the CFM is simmed every two days So we should have a game live every two days Updated on YouTube every two days now. I want to just show you guys the offseason recap now. I Had a 30 second picking a draft Last year the drafts were kind of weak in CFM you guys love you know what you think about the drafts I feel like if you don't have a top 10 top 15 pick It's tough to get somebody that's gonna help you Especially when we had a Super Bowl I have a good roster I made a couple acquisitions throughout the offseason I'll start right now until you guys Asian Peterson did retire on top he did leave Dominique Rogers commodity retired as well as Richie on Cognito my left guard Those are those are the three big names Cameron wake also who was a role-player for me did pretty good Those guys are tired. I'm going into all season I wanted to you know Really want to try to get the middle of my office of lying down I had you know 60s and 70s in a Super Bowl run now It doesn't matter that to me that much as you guys realize I had 60s and 70s in the interior of my line But I just want to talk about what I did in the offseason Now It is week one. I played a giant so we went through the draft and went to all the free agency Just want to give you guys a look at my team. How is looking right now? Obviously Tyree Jackson big strap where they're sitting at the 90 overall Let's take a look at him going into his second season as a starter 90 overall.  Why did I sign Eli Manning a lot of times and this happened? I believe for Christian Wilkins Maybe some other player on my team and maybe even one of my wire receivers will who Leo Jones When you have this veteran presence here, he'll have he'll sit down and talk to the coach And maybe hopefully get Tyree Jackson to that superstar development to where he starts getting some abilities That's why I signed Eli Manning. He Just was the nubius backup quarterback veteran quarterback that I can get now. Let's go to have back position. Adrian Peterson is gone Um, I drafted Cecil Collins and like the fifth round 90 speed I just a body 5 8 probably never want to play have Josh Adams No, I'm not gonna use him. I signed Miles Sanders Eagles rookie not that great You know 89 speed 91 acceleration just ratings aren't that yeah, just a body, but I also signed Alabama's own bull skull, bro. Bo nose skull, bro 88 speed 90 acceleration. He's got the 84 break tackle 89 truck 83 stiff arm for me about both skull, bro Is that he's just gonna fill that Adrian Peterson roll get the ball in the end zone inside the 5-yard line Need a big back to do that 61232 pounds bows won't get that done for me I was one draft another running back, but I think for me all I want is a big body that can get in the end zone Fullback don't have one wire receiver. I signed Keenan Cole. Just to be my fifth wire receiver Mvs is up to 95 speeds. Yeah, he started at 93 speed We got him up to 95 speeds 6-4 95 speed the match paramount who is actually a superstar now He's on superstar development You see your ratings, but the ability is he has post flag elite. I believe he got that before the Super Bowl as well So that's a big deal. So we have shark. I believe shark is on star development now, too. So he's on star Paramount's on superstar Valdez is still on regular and obviously Julio Jones is on superstar Now I mean I love my wire receivers obviously don't use the tight end left tackle Taylor Decker up to 81 This guy at 26 years old star development. We got him past look 80 pass block 87 pass like he holds me down my left half my left my interior my line I signed this guy Sineoke just body 70 ratings I have two rookie centers that I drafted one is more of a pass blocker in Matt Tanner 75 75 The other one is Caleb Barnes a little bit stronger and he's a little bit of a run blocker both really bad though Man, you see over here 64 and 62 overall. I don't really know How they won't hold it down Sweezy I signed him show field.  Obviously 88 speed absolute goon Then we have TJ Watt on the other side. These got other guys are just bodies. I don't really know them But TJ Watt Daniel Hunter Now I'm gonna show you my safety situation First I have Ronnie Harrison got him got him to 80 through overall. He's really slow I signed Taylor rat if those of y'all followed the CFM last year. No, I had Taylor rat with the Rams So I had him I signed him as well. Just just to rekindle the old memories of the old CFM He's not really gonna play but maybe special teams hit somebody but Ronnie Harrison is a guy I'm on a verge of not being happy with Just cuz his ratings are so low. Yeah, he has 89 hip power and 85 tackle, which is really good for a safety But 86 speed he's 63. I want to keep them there now We'll show it free safety now. I had Justin Simmons 88 speed the guy from the Broncos solid player But I also had Marquis Blair. I also have Lonnie Ballantyne, obviously. I Have red one Sheldrick red one all these guys have 90 plus speed good height and can tackle and hit I also drafted with the first round picked this guy Jameson Johnson 6-2 safety out of Duke 91 speed now he had a 4 4 40. I thought he might be 92 93 94 speed 91 speed was a little disappointing But Jameson Johnson, uh, I said 91 speed. He's got the 78 hip power He's on the same line of the rest of these guys. It's kind of got good height good size And can tackle and can run fast. That's why I drafted him So I have this is for safety's still have Ronnie Harrison. That's five safety So what I did was I traded Justin Simmons. He said who did I trade Justin Simmons for? I'll show you right here Linval Joseph and why did I make this trade cuz I listen I don't care about the passers You guys watch the CFM you watch the championship game and you watch the Super Bowl Give me the big hogs up front now Linval is old For sure, but I said he's an absolute monster as far as strength Fatness block shedding. He's just going to be able to clog the middle when I'm in 3 4 I have him along with Christian Wilkins So I have maybe Linval detackle Christian Wilkins at the end who is my star 24 year old detackle Obviously with 93 block shedding to go alongside Linval Joseph So to have Linval and Christian Wilkins and the Neil Hunter and TJ Y. I feel like that just build your line We building the line Obviously still have my do my dogs Roquon Smith and Miles Jack. Now be honest with you check For what I invested in Roquon Smith and Miles Jack, I was a little disappointed in her play That'll bring me to something else. I want to go to as far as the training is concerned I was disappointed in what they brought to the table. I Roquon obviously ran linebacker the year, but not enough hit sticks man And I don't know if it's this mode. I'm you were used to more hits It's maybe because it's mutt maybe because of enforcer I want to try to get these guys ratings a little bit better So I might put my focus player on Miles Jack and Roquon Smith Because I really think they need to be the center of my defense Outside linebacker, I still have Bruce Irvin can be a body there.  He's been pretty good with the you know, he's got 81 finesse move It's 83 strength. That's pretty good or we can put Marcus hunt Marcus hunt, you know, six eight, you know, 295 pounds with his his ratings aren't that great But he has a three speed also drafted this other guy in around Kirk and all now I like the name Kirk and all You know and this guy has 87 strength. His ratings are bad. He's a rookie East Carolina College Kirk and all but you know, I drafted him But mostly the biggest move that I made and we'll go to a cornerback position is I signed Chris Westry and you ask who Chris Westry is If anybody played man the men classic with the Cowboys You know that Chris Westry was one of the best pieces for the for the Cowboys Secondary and why because he's six four and he has 94 speed to find a combination of six four at a cornerback position With the 94 speed. Yes, rating is not that good 77 speed 59 tackles the worst part But to be six four and 94 speed that will replace the DRC that I missed and like I said, look, he's 23 years old We're gonna put him on the focus player getting five at 500 extra XP every training session and hopefully get that tackle up get this on coverage up and really Make him a player to go forward in my secondary. We got younger Way younger and obviously faster player than DRC and Westry. I Also signed some more bodies. I signed this Eman Lewis Marshall 6189 speed not that fast the thing I liked about him is he has 72 tackle and 73 hip power That's the physical players. We compare him to Westry with the 59 and 58 Melvin in the 60s. That's not bad Joshua Hosley's 511 not biggest fan of him, but then I signed these two other bodies Both 90 speed both six to send me and Thomas Derek Jones both six to both 90 speed So I saw those are all my for all my free agents were corners Eman Lewis Marshall Westry Thomas and Jones So I have tons of bodies in the secondary just bodies. Nobody that it that's that great Rashad Melvin is probably the most solid But nobody that's good. So this is my biggest weakness of my team is the secondary But we have the physical attributes in the secondary. We have the height. We had a speed So just got to keep building on my secondary to go with this front seven is really good So that's part of the reason I thought Justin Simmons was expendable, you know, he wasn't amazing He was just kind of solid. So that's why I traded him to get Lin Valjo So to get another fat body on that defensive line to really hold up against these runners that think they can just come out here and run the ball on my defense and You know that that's pretty much my team going forward I'm feeling good. I mean, like I said, the biggest thing I want in this in this league right now is to get escape RS or that dashing that I on Tyree Jackson in a way a way I did that the biggest thing I took is Eli Manning signing him to try to get him to go to the coach and talk about Tyree Jackson Hopefully get him up to superstar development. If you guys have any other What's my call it? Suggestions for me to help get Tyree Jackson a superstar development. Is it gonna take another year? And that's part of the reason why you know, I will sign a little I will go get a Lin Valjo So if I will get a 30 year old player because you know if I can win a Super Bowl and then get him to superstar You know, I won't need that player anymore. You know, that's part of reason. I had Asian Peterson part of reason I had BRC. Yeah, you guys told me they were old But in a day minute, they can help me win a Super Bowl and help grow my young players They'll play their role, you know, so we got listen big strap is ready for season two We got both skull, bro. He got him At running back man, and we got Lin Valjo's with fat ass holding up the middle and we got West Street corner I think this season is gonna be even better Than the first season so stay tuned Like I said, if you want to watch these games live twitch.tv slash dub that if not check out the YouTube videos Hit the like button. I will drop seat or week one. We're playing the Giants be ready for that


Thank you. So really quickly, Blue Blue is a language education platform which enables natural language acquisition for consumption of content at user's level that is interesting and relevant to that user with no grammar. Just putting it out there because this will be relevant to our fuckups and how it happened.  So I hope that you just take the lessons that we learned and nothing else. So the first fuckup dates back to 2013, then Blue Blue was really just a very tiny initial beta version. We won our first startup event and we got featured in TechCrunch unexpectedly. And what do you think that happens to a company then they get featured on TechCrunch? Global traffic starts flowing. And as a tiny startup, are you prepared for that? Are your servers prepared for that? So guess what message you send to the world when they crash? Luckily this happened to us very early in the day and we managed to learn this lesson and knock the wood. Our servers haven't crashed ever since yet. The second fuckup and this is a major one actually is partly related to this unexpected but really desired recognition. So in Tech World we hear all the time that if you build a truly amazing product, it will take care of users by itself. Nobody tells them though that you have to make sure that there is a certain size of that initial user base or that even that initial size might not be sustainable forever. So with all this recognition in Baltic states across the startup scene, we started a lot of organic traffic flowing in. We got so proud of ourselves that we build this product that takes care of the users that we forgot to look at the statistics. Wrong. Never ever do that because the global, the organic traffic might not be sustainable to the extent that you can start focusing on completely different things. And actually regardless how breakthrough or innovative or revolutionary your product idea is, you have to remember that there are certain market fundamentals that potentially won't change. So let me give you an example. Then Uber has a revolutionized taxi industry. They didn't really change how much people need to get from point A to point B or then Airbnb revolutionized travel industry. They didn't really change how much people go on holidays. Whereas us we thought that if we build this amazing platform everybody will start learning languages and everybody will do that forever. So instead of trying to change the user behavior, your amazing brilliant idea, we learned that we actually had to focus on our product and let the user behavior follow rather than do it the other way around. And in addition to all of this, so teaching languages about any grammar and trying to get everybody learning languages, we also stood up against all the conventional language courses. Because we don't teach grammar and find ourselves different in that way, we said no to even terms like language learning. We said language acquisition is what we will go with. Also we said that we will not do any kind of courses. It's all different because that's what we are different. But in reality what happened was that when you speak to your customers or potential customers in a language that they don't understand you and you're trying to convince them to learn the languages so that everybody understands them, doesn't really work. So we wanted to be so unconventional that we found ourselves actually starting to make profits when we finally packed our learning method into a course and we started using language learning as synonymous to language acquisition. So again just be careful of the language that you're using in front of your customers. The all that idea of the product will take care of the users. We obviously left the marketing and use acquisition for itself. So we rolled up our sleeves, got the best tools out, hired two more developers, two more designers and got to work. Zero marketing people, zero UX people. And we started building and rebuilding and rebuilding Blu-Blu and rebuilding it again just to make it so awesome that everybody can use it and everybody is amazed by it. And I keep on mentioning marketing people because, and don't get me wrong, but from what I found is that developers think differently than the general audience that we are aiming our products to. So sometimes some solutions and some best practices are not necessarily best practices for the general audience. So unfortunately we spend 95% of our relatively small investment building and rebuilding Blu-Blu with no intervenience of marketing people who had have told that actually guys you're doing this wrong. There should be this button there or this button there. But at some point we started realizing that okay the organic growth is not happening as expected. So we started doing marketing. Claudio is the co-founder of Blu-Blu and he started doing what he knows best. He started doing PR in Lithuania, that's Lithuanian, which is if you're aiming for global recognition probably not the biggest market and not the best market to start with by doing PR. So what happened was Claudio spent a lot of effort and a lot of good energy trying to start getting recognized globally through Lithuania, which didn't really work out either. So guess what? Money did run out.  Probably at some point this will happen and at that point we started looking in marketing and lucky for us Blu-Blu is truly amazing platform which managed to generate organic traffic and organic initial funding for our current marketing campaigns which are kind of changing you know taking what we've learned and applying it to grow in the future.  However the platform wasn't really ready for what we promised and instead of going back to Barclays and asking them guys what would you like to see how can we do it better for you, we hid and continued to build Blu-Blu. So really quickly a lot of fuck up stories to learn and you can ask me any questions or maybe late at the conference I can expand on the details of each of them if you're interested. Any questions? Yes so basically the question was now that we switched from focusing almost hundred percent to product development budget-wise to marketing-wise what's a percentage of income right from the organic versus the paid, the users, the percentage of users coming from organic traffic versus the paid traffic. Very good question and currently we're seeing that our paid customers 70% of our organic traffic roughly. So yes basically with Barclays we went in because we knew some people and we sat down and we said you know we will give you this tool that will monitor your employees performance, how much they are learning, we will give you all these statistics and we will you know report to you and if your employees are not doing something with the platform we will go to them kind of try to encourage them and email them and talk to them and bring to the platform. Basically our statistics part of the thing because we do have statistics right now and it's working thanks God but it wasn't there yet. So essentially we were building it while you know the users were already using it and we had to report back. Plus the reports were not working the way Barclays wanted it to do to report so basically they wanted to see only their employees and we had like a general leaderboard where Barclays employees would sit within other users as well and the kind of you know getting people to motivating people to learn again we didn't really have resource to actually do it so yes these things Okay so the question was when we decided to focus on marketing the limited resources and to kind of focus globally rather than actually just in Lithuania so basically we looked at the data which is again very important looking at data can give you a lot of answers but because we had a lot of organic traffic flowing into blue blue for like over two years we just really looked at the countries that are driving most of the traffic and where the most of the paying customers are coming from and we started to focusing that little budget on those markets with yeah which is actually partly true because the biggest market for us is US however you know running campaigns in US are very expensive so instead we kind of went with Germany Italy and Spain which are the further markets in terms of active youth number of active and paying users Yes basically that's part of my tomorrow's presentation but I can give you a quick intro so basically it is it is proven by our own experience and also some professional research that grammar and language acquisition doesn't play a key role that it's enough to consume content that is registering and relevant to you that means that you know like if I ask you to now go to primary school and learn about I don't know flowers or other colors that might potentially not be interesting to you as an adult so instead we supply interesting content so on blue blue we create content we record we got needed people to record content which is interesting and which enables people to understand the context the content from the context so basically that's how and blue blue is a system where you click on as a user you click on words to indicate to the system what you know so blue blue learns what you know in order to provide following content at your level I can send it to you thank you


When you give Jesus your best he will bless the rest It's interesting that when they had a vision bigger than they were able to meet The second step that they had to go into is they have to give Jesus their best They gave Jesus All they had it wasn't enough to fulfill the vision, but it was enough to fit in his hands We must understand one thing about the Lord many people don't give Jesus their best very soon They will be bringing to Jesus their mess and the reason that they have that mess is because they fail to give Jesus their best Heard a story where three people were on the death row for the cause of Christ and these people dug out three Three graves they brought the first person the other two were left somewhere far They brought the first person and they said if you deny Jesus We will let you live and go to your family if you don't deny Jesus We will kill you and bury you in this grave The person said I'm not denying Jesus kill me now.  I'm gonna do exactly what my friend did. I'm not gonna deny Jesus They said are you sure about that? They said yes, they let him live He covered his grave the third person comes in and they said you see your first friend was smarty pants Didn't want to deny Jesus. He died your second friend. He died. He says do you really think that? This is worth it He says are you sure two of them died? They said yeah, we killed him. He said like they just died. He said yeah He said let me think about it. Give me two minutes.


After girl's dad cuts her hair off for getting birthday highlights, mom steps in. In a child's life, there are few days as special as the day of their birth. After waiting an entire year for their favorite day, nothing is more exciting than turning a year older and celebrating with friends and loved ones. Some children even get to celebrate the special occasion twice if they have parents who are separated. Kelsey Frederick found herself in this situation when her parents got divorced, but her parents Shaffin and Kristen were happy to hold two separate birthday parties for their little girl. But this time around, something came up on the big day. What could have gone wrong? Kelsey Frederick was particularly looking forward to her birthday this year she was about to turn 13. She couldn't wait to finally be a teenager. And even better, she was excited to have two birthday parties one with her mother and one with her father. Having two parties was a tradition that she had grown accustomed to over the years. Kelsey had high hopes that her 13th birthday would be extra special. She was entering adolescence and she wanted her party to be special too. Instead of the usual children's birthday party, she decided that a sleepover with a few good friends would be perfect. A fun idea, right? What made this particular birthday even more special was that her mother had agreed to let her get some highlights in her hair for the first time. All the girls in her class were sporting bleached locks and naturally, she wanted to try them too. After spending some time at the salon she headed off to her dad's house, but nobody could have prepared for his reaction when he saw her new hairstyle. No one saw what this dad was about to do coming. And Kelsey isn't alone. There are many other young people who have two families. But Kelsey is happy that she gets to spend time with both of her parents. Her parents' divorce contract dictates that both mom and dad get to spend an equal amount of time with their daughters so they did just that. Kelsey is with a different parent each weekend, so she is always moving. Things never get boring for her and she especially loves going to baseball games with her father. She also has two younger brothers to keep her company they always give her a laugh or two. Many teenagers would be envious to see what kind of relationship Kelsey has with her mother. Not only are they extremely close, but they are best friends too. Kelsey's relationship with her mother is one every daughter dreams of having. She knows she can talk to her mother about anything and everything that's on her mind. She is very grateful to have a mother who is always there for her. Kelsey gets on with her father just fine, although it's not the same kind of relationship she has with her mom. He doesn't seem to enjoy listening to his teenager's stories as much as her mother does. This may be because Kelsey spends a lot more time with her mom than with her dad. Kelsey's parents had separated when she was very young. It was difficult for her at first, but she was fortunate to have a large support system of cousins and siblings. If it wasn't for them, Kelsey may have had a much harder time dealing with her parents' divorce. Kelsey loved sports from a young age.  Her parents tried to make sure that her everyday activities remained unchanged after their separation. Kelsey was lucky that her parents tried to stay friends after the divorce working hard at maintaining a relationship for her sake. Fortunately, both of her parents agreed on how to raise their daughter, as well for the most part, at least. After sitting down to discuss how Kelsey was to be disciplined and raised, they laid down some ground rules that they would follow. Although it seemed like something small, Kelsey's parents agreed to take her to Lake Erie every month just the three of them. Kelsey had fond memories of this special outing when she was small, so her parents decided to make an effort to keep up the tradition, even after they had separated. It wasn't long after Kelsey's dad had separated from her mother that he met someone new. She was a colleague at the fire station he worked at, and they fell in love. Kelsey didn't mind one bit in fact, she grew very fond of her father's new girlfriend. Kelsey's dad proposed and the pair made it official with a small ceremony at the local courthouse. Although they still dressed up for the occasion, they decided not to have a large and expensive ceremony. And Kelsey couldn't be happier for her dad. Chaffin's new wife wouldn't be an issue between Kelsey's parents as long as she didn't interfere with their co-parenting efforts when it came to Kelsey. Chaffin and Kristen had already agreed on how to raise their daughter, and Kelsey's new stepmother had to be careful that her relationship with Kelsey's father wouldn't get in the way of that. The rules and approach that Kelsey's parents had decided on would not change simply because a new stepmother was in the picture. Kelsey had no problem with this arrangement, and was just happy that her dad was happy. Kelsey was lucky to share her life with some very strong women as her role models. Aunt Kelly was always there for her and Kelsey considered her to be a second mother to her. Then, there was her godmother, Haley Ann. Haley Ann also played a very important role in Kelsey's life. Both Haley Ann and Aunt Kelly would always give Kelsey good advice and share their life experiences and perspectives. Because Kelsey had such strong maternal figures in her life, she never felt threatened by her dad's new wife. Kelsey's mom lived in Faustoria, Ohio, and she was lucky that her dad and stepmother lived there too. Because they all lived close to one another, they had a special opportunity to make Kelsey's birthday an extra special occasion. All three players in this story played a huge part in the surprise that was about to unfold. Although it is always difficult to choose that special gift for a girl of Kelsey's age, Kelsey's hobbies made the task even more challenging. You see, Kelsey wasn't like her peers and didn't enjoy things that other girls her age enjoyed. Her parents had some difficulty choosing a practical gift. But Kelsey just had one simple request. She didn't want anything too girly. This meant no glitter and sparkles and certainly nothing pink. With Kelsey's request at the fore, her mother enlisted some help from her friends and family to find something that Kelsey would love. Kelsey loved to play softball, but she already had all the equipment she required. She also enjoyed fishing with her cousins, but her mother didn't want to buy her more fishing gear after all, she already had everything she needed for fishing anyway. But what could her mother buy her that she didn't have already? There was one thing that Kelsey had wanted a Mia Ham Jersey. She had been asking for one for years now, but they were extremely expensive. Kristen knew that she just couldn't afford it right now she had to think of something that wouldn't break the bank. As 12 year olds do, Kelsey felt like her birthday was taking forever to arrive. She had been counting down the hours until she officially became a teenager. To pass the time, she and her friends decided to search for some cool party ideas on the internet. Kristen could hardly believe that her daughter was growing up so fast. It seemed like yesterday when Kelsey was just a baby. Had it really been 13 years ago?  Kristen wanted to pick a very special gift to mark this very important milestone in her daughter's life. Every other milestone before this one had always involved a surprise, but Kristen also wanted to make this birthday even more special by letting her daughter choose what she wanted. Like many young girls, Kelsey enjoys having makeovers with her friends. She was always excited whenever her family was invited to a wedding or other special occasion because it meant that she could dress up. Kristen knew that her daughter loved makeup after all, she was always borrowing hers. But when she asked Kelsey what she wanted for her birthday, she was surprised by the answer. Kelsey replied, Mom, I want to get highlights for my 13th birthday. She was hoping that she could add that something extra to her naturally brown hair with a few blonde highlights. But how would her mother respond to her request? It was a common enough request among the girls her age, but no mother is ever prepared for the day their little girl asks for a major makeover. Of course, Kristen had some concerns. Had Kelsey become insecure in her looks? But Kristen couldn't forget that she herself had been getting highlights long before Kelsey was born. Maybe her daughter was just influenced by her mother's own actions. She decided there was no real need to worry. Kristen was a little taken aback, although she made the offer for Kelsey to pick whatever she wanted, so she knew she could not refuse. Kelsey's hair had darkened over the years, and people got highlights all of the time. It was no big deal. Kristen was a bit nervous, but luckily, she figured out exactly what needed to be done. Kristen didn't just comply because it was Kelsey's birthday, she also did because of her daughter's actions. Kelsey has three younger brothers, and she's a great big sister to them. She always helps out and serves as a great role model for the boys. Kristen decided to go all out and let Kelsey experience the royal treatment for her birthday. The two of them did not know what to expect, so they decided to turn this exciting but nerve-wracking procedure into some mother-daughter time at the salon. Good thing the local salon where Kristen has been getting her hair done for years also offers manicures, pedicures, and massages. Kelsey was in for quite a big birthday treat. Since Kristen was a loyal customer, they also gave her a nice discount. Mom and daughter ended up getting matching manicures and pedicures. What could be better? Little did Kelsey know though, something else was about to happen, and she had no idea it was coming. They waited for her transformation and hoped for the best. After spending a long yet relaxing day together, Kristen showed Kelsey the mirror. At long last, she could finally see the result. They were both in for quite a surprise. Kelsey took a look at herself in the mirror and could not believe what she was seeing. The highlights changed the way she looked. Even Kristen could hardly recognize this girl. However, she had to say that she had never seen Kelsey look so beautiful with that smile on her face. Kristen had a surprise up her sleeves that Kelsey did not see coming. She wasn't just getting her daughter's hair and nails done, she was also going to get her makeup done. Thought that was exciting enough? They were going to none other than makeup superstore, Sephora. Kristen snapped a photo of the apple of her eyes after all of the treatments and posted it on Facebook for all of their friends and family to see. The two of them did not know how a certain someone reacted to it, but they remained blissfully ignorant at that time. Kelsey was eager to go out and show off her new hairstyle to her friends, but she had to go to her dad's place first. He was also ready to shower his lovely daughter with love and gifts, but knew he had to wait for his turn with her. Kristen was happy enough to send their darling over to her ex-husband, so they hopped into the car and drove over to Chaffin's place. The plan was that Kelsey was going to stay at his home for the entire weekend. It was only fair she split her time with both parents. Whenever Kelsey spent some time with her father, she typically stopped using her phone. Since she split time between her mom and dad, she always made sure to make the most of her time with each parent. Kristen had no reason to hear from the teenager. But she woke up that morning with the feeling that something wasn't quite right. Kristen tried to convince herself not to worry, but a mother's instinct is always best, right? The minute slowly ticked, but today was finally the day Kelsey would be coming back to her mom's house. She wondered how her daughter was enjoying her new do. When Kelsey finally rang the doorbell several days later, something odd had happened. Kristen did not even realize the girl ringing the doorbell was actually her daughter. Kelsey's face was not only swollen and puffy from crying, but something else was off. What could it be? A million things raced through Kristen's mind. Was Kelsey hurt? Had she gotten into an argument with her new stepmom? Did something happen to her dad? Maybe she spent some time at the firehouse because Chaffin had to work over the weekend? Kristen knew it wasn't her daughter's favorite place but was that a reason for all of the tears? Then Kristen did a double take and saw that something was up with Kelsey's hair. It looked completely different than it did when Chaffin had picked her up just a few days earlier. What had happened to their daughter? Not only were the expensive highlights gone, but Kelsey's beautiful long locks disappeared as well. Had Kelsey had second thoughts about her new look and decided to get rid of it all? Kristen was shocked, she couldn't even move or breathe. Her locks were clearly butchered away sometime during the weekend. A professional hairstylist commented saying, What they did to that poor child, it's a chop off, it's a boyish cut with no styling whatsoever. It did not make things easier that Kelsey was cupping her face in her hands and refusing to show her face. Clearly, the young girl was humiliated by what happened. Kristen couldn't believe it and didn't know what had happened or where to go from here. In just a couple of moments, she went from feeling like the most beautiful and confident she had ever been to getting her hair chopped off on her birthday. Kelsey could not stand to look in the mirror. Her self-esteem clearly took a beating after the ordeal she went through. Kristen knew she had to get to the bottom of this. Since Kristen could not get her daughter to talk about it, she got in the car and drove to Shaffen's place. Kristen was fuming the entire car ride. She couldn't believe the man she once loved would treat their sweet daughter in such a manner. On her birthday no less. When she arrived at their house, she sprinted up to the door and screamed at her ex and his fiance Sarah, asking why they let that happen to her daughter. Moreover, why didn't they get in touch with her? Kristen was so mad she couldn't even think clearly. Apparently, they could not stand her new hairstyle and punished her for it. They thought the highlights were too precarious for her age. According to them, actions have consequences. Little did Shaffen and Sarah know, Kristen was about to show them how true this was. Kristen went to the police. The chief commented saying, the mother was upset at how her child was being cared for. The haircut was done against the child's wishes under the direction of the girl's father and stepmother. Her smiling little girl was smiling no more. She couldn't stand to see her sweet daughter in such a state. She also couldn't believe her ex didn't like it. It was simple blonde highlights, not blue hair. She was beyond her wits end, so she decided to take out her frustration by shaming her ex-husband online. That was why she went on social media to give him a taste of the humiliation. Kristen wanted him to feel the pain he decided to inflict on a young and sensitive person on her birthday no less. She hoped by posting it online, Shaffen and Sarah would see how much pain their actions caused Kelsey. However, it was not Kristen's intention to make a viral post. She just wanted her family and friends to validate that Shaffen behaved unreasonably. In all likelihood, it was her way to blow off some steam as well. However, the photos ended up doing more than that. What she didn't expect was the number of people it reached in such a short amount of time. When people around the country found out just how extreme his reaction was about something as trivial as highlights, they spoke out. Can you believe that people shared it 24,000 times and it received 33,000 reactions in only a week? The online users did not hold back at all from talking about how they felt about the incident. Here is one response in particular. For Kelsey, the replies to her mother's post and the questions at school were overwhelming. The attention all became a little too much. This is only understandable, in the end, she is only 13 years old. Well, Kristen definitely received all the support she initially wanted and then some. This was more than she bargained for.  Another stranger left this comment, what a cruel thing for a parent to do to their child. So sorry that happened, beautiful no matter what. Meanwhile, Kelsey was not prepared to have both her face and newly butchered hair make rounds on the internet.


By our calculations, the Easter Bunny would need to deliver 697 million eggs to over 69 million children in just the United States alone. So there's just no way hopping is going to cut it. Our Bunny would need to be able to run up to 35 miles an hour for miles and miles at a time, like this guy. It would also have crazy good eyesight and navigation ability, so it could hide the eggs at each house in record time. And seeing as Easter eggs are pretty much just chicken eggs in fun colors, the Easter Bunny would only have two weeks to deliver them all before they go bad. And if you're thinking, damn, that's a lot of work for one Bunny, you're right. There would have to be at least 6,300 of them.  But if Easter bunnies could, they'd each have to lay over a hundred thousand of them, like this crab. So yeah, your Easter Bunny would look less like this and a lot more like this.
