What's the word y'all, NBA Finals Game 1 just wrapped up, let's talk about it. A lot of times I watch these games and I have like one singular pillar point that I wanna, I really wanna talk about for the majority of the video and I do quick hit us here here. Today is not one of them days man, I don't have one overarching story that is the talking point for this game one, so I'm just gonna bounce around here and there without a script, without a game plan, let's just talk about game one. I will say, no matter if it's a 20 point blowout, a buzzer beater, I'm enjoying every one of these games because at the very most, we got six more games left for the season, that's at the very most, so you should be enjoying them too, because I saw a lot of pieces on Twitter already, it just wrapped up already about how potentially boring this series can be and I honestly think that if you're, I don't wanna gatekeep anything, but like if you really enjoyed a game of basketball, there are a lot of fun things about this game one that you can be thinking about going into game two. Because obviously the Denver Nuggets continue their home court dominance where they're undefeated so far and Nicole Lioca said in this post game interview that was important because the Miami Heat had been a team to win all three of their game ones on the road so far, so they wanted to make sure they'd carry that same recipe. But even if you're a Miami Heat fan, there are things about game one that you feel pretty okay about if you believe that you can still win this series. If you pick the Miami Heat, there are pillars of this game that you say, that's who we can do and we gonna talk about that.  So I can see it both ways. I don't know exactly where to start. I guess we'll start with Nicole Lioca because well, he's a star player here. More specifically, let's start off with the Miami Heat usage of a zone because that plays into the way Nicole Lioca's played for the first three quarters or so. That was one of the major questions that I had about the Miami Heat going into the series. How often they use the zone? Because I rewatched the two regular season games between the two teams and Jamal Murden playing one of these games. Somebody prominent for the Heat and playing another one. So I didn't look at it and be like, oh, final score, Denver Nuggets win by four here, win by five here. Ah, they go sweet. I was trying to figure out like the skeleton of like the potential scheme going into it. Now, it's a lot different from playoff time because you talk about the regular season that one of these teams could have been on the second night of a back to back where you don't really have time to game play. Just go say go hoop because we get paid millions of dollars in hoop. But I was curious to see how much zone we got in the first game of the finals. I'm also still a little bit sick. So you might see a lot of cuts because I'm coughing, drinking water, whatever. Because in the two games in the regular season, the mind of he ran that zone a ton. And I think part of that was because they were on demand where like Orlando Robeson was getting men into one of these games. In the other game, oh man, I forgot his name. He played a couple games for the Heat earlier this season. He's a stud too.  I can't remember his name. They were super short handed so they ran a lot of zone. And when they were running that zone, Nikola Jokic absolutely feasted. Like, I mean, he's one of those players that the zone typically doesn't work against because he's the best passer basketball, one of the greatest pass of all time. And he is okay with not being able to get his own shot because he trusts in regard. He trusts in Michael Pershing. He trusts Jamal Murray, KCP, and all the other people to make the shots. And as we saw through the first three quarters, well, he only attempted like five shots in the first three. And the only reason he started to take more in the fourth quarter, it's a mind of he wanted a huge run, 11-0 run to start the 40s. Like, I guess I'll do it myself then. And then he ended up ending with 27 points. 27 points, 14 assists, 10 rebounds, and only two turnovers. Yeah, Jokic was different tonight. I mean, he was the same tonight because this is what he's been doing. So through the first two quarters when they did run the zone, the different nuggets kind of took advantage of it. And that's saying something because they didn't shoot a ridiculous clip. I mean, the first half, it felt like they were 45% from through the first half. Only 11 three-point attempts were surprising. It felt like a lot more maybe because Michael Porter Jr. was just letting them fly. But when we get to the second half, they shot 3 of 16, right? And at 3 of 16 is a combination of missing shots, but also a combination of the zone working a little bit differently. Again, it's not like they ran the zone for 48 minutes, but like in the first half, it felt like when they ran the zone, I want to re-watch some of these clips. It was still bam on the bio at the point of attack from Nikola Jokic who's sitting at like the free throw line area. And there's so much movement outside Nikola Jokic when he gets the ball that makes it so confusing. There was a few times in this game where like there was so much miscommunication where Jimmy Butler was looking at him and he's looking at this guy. And it was a lot of that. And Nikola Jokic started dissecting. And in the fourth quarter specifically, Haywood Highsmith got in. They used, and I'm going to say this very lightly because I know that this was a game plan from the Lakers that worked for like three minutes and then it never worked again. You remember Rui Hachimura got the assignment on Jokic for like three minutes and he calls them to miss a few times. They did something similar with Haywood Highsmith that allowed bam on the bio to roam. And because bam on the bio is now clogged and painted a little bit more, now instead of Nikola Jokic is getting to the basket and getting one body, it was two bodies at minimum. I'm saying all of that. And the fourth quarter was his highest output shooting quarter.  And I'm looking at it now. They shot OFA for three in this fourth quarter. And then you get the other side of the token where the heat finally started to shoot threes and hit and what they, they were shooting them all day. But actually he started to hit threes. Again, I'm going to get Highsmith a lot of love because I didn't know exactly how much PT he would be getting in this series. He was a guy that you couldn't take off the floor in this one. Let's be honest, they started that run in the fourth quarter without Jimmy Butler being on the floor. And a lot of that was Highsmith given energy playing the defense, hitting shots, ducking the ball. Like he was doing everything. And look Hayward Highsmith is not a big, he might be six fast, six, six with long wings. But I was curious to see how much of the other guys that we see. And that's, that's Cody Zeller. That's Highsmith. That's Kevin Love. And we saw some Cody Zeller. I don't know how much more of that we're going to be seeing. Actually, I thought he was okay in the four minutes that he got. He didn't hurt the team, which is something you need when bam, it's not on the floor. No Kevin Love, a lot of Hayward Highsmith. I keep doing that. I always call him Hayward. Hayward. Highsmith say to Haywood. It's wood, haywood.  Obviously, you don't get a lot of opportunities to feel okay about losses because if you get four of those, you out. But again, there are things that you felt good about them on a bio gave you a very good performance. One of his best performances of the entire playoff run, if I'm being honest, where he was aggressive on the offense side of the ball. Again, he's limited defensively only because he's going against Jokic. You know what I'm saying? Like he's one of the best defensive basketball, but he's going against arguably the best offensive player in ball right now. So like there's so much he can do by himself, but eventually you don't need Jimmy Butler to wake up. Eventually you're going to need it, man.  It was none of the starters got to the free to light at all. No bam on a bio, but Jimmy Butler is usually the guy. Again, one of the things that people hate about Jimmy Butler, but it's also a huge part of his game and it's effective part of his game. Get into the basket, draw fouls and a triple pump fake, whatever. We got none of that. I don't know if buddy pump faked it all today, which is it's Jimmy Butler. It's Jimmy Butler. Now I know I listen, I know I criticize him a little bit throughout the the end of the the Boston Celtic series that he was pumping a little bit too much. Charlie's on too many fouls. We can't go from too many fouls to zero fouls completely. We got to find some some middle room because we get to the free throw as easy baskets. You know what I'm saying?  And I don't think he scored in the fourth court. Again, they went on that run without him, so he sat on the bench a little bit longer in the fourth court than normally would. But still, if you're going to win the NBA finals, you need Jimmy Butler to have Jimmy Butler performances. And I don't mean 52 points. What do you do 52? 48, whatever it was. I don't mean that, but he got to give you way more than what he did today. Also the shooting one there. One of my major concerns with the Miami Heat going into the series is the different nuggets for the most part is such a potent offense with all of the actions when Nicole Yoke is doing this thing. And Jamal Murray was incredible again tonight that they're going to be able to put up points more likely than not. Again, they went through that stretch early fourth quarter when they couldn't. But for the most part, their offense is going to be their offense and it's going to be good. The Miami Heat don't have that same luxury. Like so far in the playoffs, their offense has been amazing. You know what I'm saying? Like the first round, they shot crazy from three to second round, they didn't. But it was against the Knicks, so they didn't need to shoot crazy from three. And then the last series, they did a game. And I feared that if they had a game where they didn't shoot the lights out, it was going to be a little bit tougher for them. And for the most part, this game, through the first three quarters, they couldn't hit anything. Max Juice, and it was 0 points, 0 for 10 from the field. Like that's a that's a stat line that Max Juice has put up. And yeah, I do believe that when we get to the nitty gritty and try to muck it out games where it's like down to the why you're 92 to 92, that's where the heat have their advantage. When we talk about going stretches like the Denver Nuggets did where they can go on a 14 to four run or something, like it's going to be hard to keep up. So they have to find a way to keep their offense steady for the moments that the Denver Nuggets do have the three minutes of bad shooting like you saw because because if Jimmy was more aggressive and had a normal again, just a normal Jimmy by the game, I'm not saying 40 or 50, they're in this game a lot better when that fourth quarter run comes around. And instead of them just boiling down to 10 points, maybe it was six, maybe it was four, you know, I'm saying, so they need to be able to just hold on long enough for the Nuggets to potentially go a little bit cold. And then that's when you execute and they then do that today. But I don't know, man, again, I'm just enjoying all of this. This is, in my opinion, shaping up to be a good finals matchup through and through. Is it four? Is it seven? I don't know. It's not really relevant to me. But through this first game, I feel good that we're going to get a good series no matter the length of it. That's how I feel. I didn't talk much about Jamal Murray other than acknowledging how good of a game he had for it to be. I mean, everybody here except for KCP's first NBA finals game, they felt ready for the moment. Aaron Gordon early on was taking advantage of the undersized man he because Aaron Gordon, Michael Porter, Junior, Nikola Jokic, all of these dudes are either the same height or taller than the tallest man in the Miami Heat. You know what I'm saying? So a lot of times Aaron Gordon was switched and he got Gabe Vinson on his button. He was just going right up and over it, which is, you know, something that you will take a smooth 14-16 points from Aaron Gordon any day, because you know, he's going to give it defensively. I was actually surprised that we didn't see as much Aaron Gordon on Jimmy Butler. Now I feel like if Jimmy Butler starts to cook, that's going to be something they do. But I thought KCP did a good job defensively, containing Jimmy Butler and the possessions that he had it. Bruce Brown is turning to like a give me the ball with two seconds to go. I don't care. I take the shot from 20 feet, 20, 30, 40 feet out if I need to. I can do that. And the non-Jokic minutes weren't awful. They weren't great, but they weren't awful. And I think that's a good sign. So for game two, I'm not completely sure if I'll be here to do a little recap for y'all. I'm going to Toronto tomorrow morning. And I might be back for it, but I'm just, I'm saying no promises, because this is the way I work. This is the way it works. The Denver Nuggets win game one, Kenny drop a video. And if the Miami Heat win game two, every heat fan in existence is in my mentions, oh, so you don't drop a video about us. I'm letting you know now that I might not be here to drop a game two reaction slash recap. Okay. Great. I hope we're on the same page. Even though I'm saying this right now, I know there's going to be some people that still tweeting at me because I can see a heat fan not watching this video because they lost. You know what I'm saying? But again, I know this thing is a good loss, especially when you get to the nitty gritty of the last NBA finals. But there are some things you could take away that you feel solid about because Caleb Martin, who was almost the Eastern Conference finals MVP, didn't give you anything and the Max Truce didn't give you anything either. Do you expect that to happen for three more games? It could. Again, these are players that have showed that they're really good basketball players, but they're also normal than they know they play better than they normally do. If that makes sense. I don't know. I just see hopefully for game two, but if not, you give me.


Now we're ready to look at a full loop example for Kirchhoff's Voltage Rule. And I'm going to start with a circuit here that's a little bit simple, but might have some things you're not quite used to in it. So I've got a symbol for a battery here. I've got one, two resistors. And then I've got a symbol over here, which I haven't shown in my class yet, but which is the ground symbol. Now that ground symbol just means that that particular point is set at being zero volts. In other diagrams it might just tell you exactly which point is zero volts. Now ultimately I want to find out what's happening with the voltage all the way around this circuit. And I'm going to start by actually making a line here showing the direction of my current. Because of the direction of the battery, and there's only one battery in the circuit, it's reasonable to assume that my current is going to flow around the circuit in this direction. That's going to let me know which direction it's going through each resistor so I can figure out whether there's a voltage drop or a voltage gain as I analyze my circuit. And I'm going to analyze my circuit going in the same direction as the current here. Now going back to some of my earlier videos, I can start labeling different points here. So for example on the battery you're always going to have a higher potential on the top side and a lower potential down here on the negative side of the battery. Similarly, when I look at the resistors, if you go back and watch those videos, the potential drops over a resistor. So I'm going to have a higher value and then a lower value. And a higher value and a lower value as I go around. Now as I finish this video, I'm going to take off some of this so it's not quite as such a mess as we're going through. Now symbolically, I can start to write this out because as I move around the circle, I'm going to start with a potential increase as I move across the battery from the lower to the higher side. But then when I move across the resistor, it's going to be a drop because I'm going to have a potential going from the higher side to the lower side. And how much is going to drop is going to depend on the current times the resistance. Similarly for the second resistor, I'm also going to have a drop in potential and it's going to be equal to the current times the resistance. And what Kirchoff's rule says is that in the end, all of the drops and the increases have to balance out to be back to zero. Now it's not zero because I started at zero volts. It's just as I increase and decrease, the amounts of increases and decreases have to balance out. If this was at a different potential, you would see that I still have to follow this if I look at the increases and decreases. So in order to start working with the equation, the first thing I'm going to have to do is I've got to figure out what is my value for the current. And for that, I'm going to be using Ohm's law because the current is equal to the voltage divided by the resistance. Remember the voltage is going to be the current times the resistance. I use that down here. So for our particular circuit, it's going to be the equivalent resistance I need and that equivalent resistance is the sum of the two values. And so that sum of the two Ohms and four Ohms gives me six Ohms and when I plug in my voltage of my battery, that's going to tell me that my current is 0.25 amps. Once I've got that, then I can actually start to figure out the voltage drop over each resistor. And I see for my very first one, it's 0.25 amps times two Ohms and then 0.25 amps times four Ohms. So that lets me know that here I'm going to have a drop of 0.5 volts and here I'm going to have a drop of 1.0 volts. So I'm going to start to clear up a few things here on my chart just to make sure that we've got our information all in here and pull out some individual pieces of information. So I know that I went from lower to higher and I started at zero volts and I have to increase by 1.5 volts, which means I'm going to have a value here of 1.5 volts. Now I'm going to drop and the amount I'm going to drop as I go from the higher side to the lower side is the value I calculated here, the current times the resistance, which is 0.5 volts, which means when I get here, it's got to go from 1.5 minus 0.5, which gives me 1.0 volts because that's a drop of 0.5 volts as I went over that resistor. And now I'm going to drop even further and I can figure out my potential at this corner because now I've got to drop 1.0 volts. So in this particular case, that dropping of basically 1.0 volts minus 1.0 volts is going to give me a value of 0 volts. Now that makes sense because between here and here, there was nothing to change the potential. If I had had another resistor here, then the individual drops would have been smaller. I would have dropped part here, part here, part there. The battery pumps it up, drops part, part, part. The battery pumps it up, it drops a little bit, a little bit, and a little bit, but it always comes back to the same value. Now again, as you're working through this, it can get a little bit confusing. And that's why I've tried to break this down into several videos showing you what happens over batteries, what happens over resistors, before we put it into a full loop where you were then able to find out what was happening to the potential all the way around the loop.


To grow an authentic business, there is one thing that I recommend everybody do which is to get into a rhythm of consistent content creation. It's like exercise. If you want to be fit physically, you can't expect that if you don't have some kind of consistent exercise. Same thing, if you want to be fit in your business and growing and becoming more authentic, becoming more confident, growing an audience that trusts you and is learning from you, well then the one thing is a rhythm of consistent content creation. So let's talk about that in this video. So the example I want to give you first is from one of my heroes, Seth Godin. He is one of the most well-known, respected people in the content creation industry. And let me tell you his history. He has been blogging consistently since 2002, before blogging was even that big, 2002. Now it's 2019. So he's been blogging consistently for 17 years. Now what happened was from 2002 into 2004, very few people read his blog post. For two years, he blogged consistently. Now back then, he was blogging only a few times a week. He wasn't blogging every day yet. That didn't happen until, I think, close to 2010 anyway. For two years, he blogged consistently without anyone really, now relatively few people reading his blog post, very few people sharing them forward. And then you'll notice you can look at his entire archive of blog posts at his website. 2004, which is two years after he'd been blogging consistently, he finally started getting some people to share his blog posts and to like them and et cetera. He doesn't allow comments on his blog, so we don't know how many comments there would have been, but two years before some consistent likers and sharers. And then it wasn't until eight years later, 2010, eight years after he started blogging, he really got big. He really became well-known and the household name that he is among content creators. Eight years of consistency. So what about you? How long have you been doing consistently? And are you willing to do it not for the praise and the fame, but for other reasons that allow you to keep going? So that's my question for you right now is what will allow you to keep consistent with your blogging or with your videos or whatever content you're creating? If it's not immediately within the next couple of weeks or months or years, that's the fame and the praise and the sharing and the likes, et cetera, what's going to keep you consistent? So let's quickly review the reasons to create content. It's not, you know, number one reason isn't because I'll make money, because I'll get clients, because not even because I'll make an impact, because making an impact assumes that there's enough people reading or watching that some of them will make an impact. You'll make an impact on it, OK? Long term, fine. But you have to have reasons that get you to the long term. So what are your reasons? So my reasons are I create content because it is essential for my self-expression, for my self-exploration. I mean, as you could probably tell, these are live videos I'm making. So I'm kind of making some of the stuff up as I go along. I'm not just making it up. I'm figuring out what I'm trying to say. If it's writing, then you could explore that way without having to be live on video, right? But with this writing, you're exploring what you really think, exploring ideas that are combinations of things you've read or things you've thought about. So content is incredibly useful. Creating it is essential, I think, for essentially the self-creativity, the generation of generating new way of being in the world that will bring you a new life, a new business, et cetera. But it's really at first about self-exploration. And then it's also about potential impact that you'll make on other people. But again, you set that aside for the short term. You might not be read by anybody. But you have to do it for the self-exploration and for the finding and cultivating of your authentic voice. So exploring ideas is one thing, hugely important. But cultivating your authentic voice and self-expression is a whole other thing. And you can't really cultivate that in the closet when you're just doing it for yourself, journaling, making your own videos, that's fine. But it's a whole other thing to be in front of others, potentially in front of others, cultivating what is the authentic way that you're going to engage in the world. And you'll find that the articulation of your ideas within the potential community will transform you. It will make you into a more confident and authentic helper in the world, essentially. So you have to have your reasons for creating content before anybody even sees it. And you have to put it out there so that people could potentially see it. And of course, once people start to see it, you start to have the potential of more and more people seeing it, because people start to like it, comment, share, you know, whatever. You'll start to be able to make an impact and then be able to get clients and make an income and all that good stuff. But you first have to have your own sustainable reasons first. Without that, how are you going to get through? How are you going to get through the dry periods? It's always going to be the dry periods. Some people have a beginner's luck and that's great.  Remember Seth Godin, even Seth Godin, who's already one of the most brilliant people by the time you started blogging, took him two years to start getting some consistent likers and sharers. What about you? Have you been consistent for two years yet? You haven't. Okay. Well, if even it takes Seth Godin two years, how long will it take you? It took me, I was consistent in 2014, really, already with a podcast and video channel called Our Highest Work. That was 2014. I did it for 75 episodes. Okay, so it was a lot. It wasn't totally consistent yet. But 2015, I got consistent, not very much traction. 2016, not very much traction. 2017, I started getting some traction. So it took me like maybe three years, four years before there was enough traction where I feel like I was making an impact and not just an impact, but clients, income, et cetera. Actually, I would say mid to late 2016, I already started getting, I think, enough clients to make it worthwhile. But you could say that I was starting to do it in 2014. So four or five, part of six, took me almost three years to start of making it kind of worthwhile to continue doing this. So how will you do it for three years without getting much impact, without getting much likes and shares?  You'll get number sooner. But still, in terms of the consistent people, in terms of the, oh, yes, I recognize Captain and Laura, et cetera. And I recognize, let's see, who else is joining me here for this? Jason and Elizabeth. So you'll start recognizing some names that might take you two to three years to start recognizing the regular names. Now, with advertising, maybe it'll take you six to 12 months before you start recognizing names. But whatever it is, you have to make it through the dry period. So you have to, oh, the other major reasons, a reason besides exploring ideas, besides practicing expression within the community, within the potential community, practicing, expressing myself publicly, even if nobody's watching. Besides those ideas, another really important reason for creating content is the practice of discipline. The practice of discipline. Whether it's a musical instrument, whether it's some other hobby, or whether it's exercise, or whether it's whatever thing you don't have to do, but gives you more discipline, you might as well make content, one of those things that is practicing discipline. Because discipline will serve you in so many other ways in your business and your life. And I know a lot of you need more discipline. I certainly needed that. For many years, I needed the practice of discipline to then find the character of discipline, which then spills into the many, many other benefits in business and in life. So you might need more discipline in your life. Almost certainly you could benefit from it. And content, consistent content creation is one of the exercises that will give you more discipline for sure. So let's talk about what you might create for your consistent content creation. What rhythm might that be? If you are not sure, if you need some guidance, here is a couple of things you might consider. If you have a full-time job and or you're taking care of young kids, captain, then I would say once a week, one blog post a week, and if possible, one video a week, but even just one blog post a week, you could commit yourself to that discipline of consistency. One blog post a week, if you have a full-time job and you're taking care of kids or you're taking kids like a full-time job each, totally acceptable and I think that's a good rhythm, okay? If you don't have a full-time job, you're not taking care of kids, okay? Every single day is what I recommend. I don't see what excuse you have. You have kids, you have a great excuse. Full-time job, great excuse. Even a full-time job is not that great of an excuse because you can always do it for half an hour in the evenings or an hour, an hour a day, okay? Half an hour a day. Half an hour a day I think is a good minimum if you're wanting to commit to a daily process. An hour a day would be even better, okay? If you're doing it once a week, probably one to two hours once a week is very reasonable even if you have kids and a job, okay? You could still carve out one to two hours a week for your consistent content, okay? So if you don't have kids, 30 to 60 minutes a day, please, okay? The discipline of, I have a full-time job, my business, okay? And I commit to one hour a day of content creation. Now you could take the weekends off, so I'm giving you that out. So you could do whatever days you work every week. You work four or five days a week, 30 to 60 minutes each of those four or five days a week as a discipline practice, which has so many benefits, all right? Self-exploration, you're getting smarter. You don't get smarter by reading.  Yes, you'll learn about running and you'll imagine it and maybe you'll walk in your house with a bit more better posture or whatever and you'll get more fit just walking in your house a bit more, but you can't get smarter by reading or by watching videos or by taking courses. You get smarter by creating. That's really how you get smarter. Just like how you get fit, you get fit not just by walking to the grocery store and walking around your house. You get fit by exercising, doing some deliberate exercise. You get smart. You actually get smart in your field by creating content in your field. I promise you, that's really how you get smart in your field, okay? So you get by committing to the discipline of content creation, you get smarter, way faster. You practice the confidence and voice and self-expression of being public with your ideas and with yourself, okay? And then you get the potential of making impact in the world when people start to watch you eventually, give yourself a couple of years, right? When people eventually start to watch you, read you and start to apply the things that you're talking about or to start benefiting from your stories. Couple of years, discipline. If you're willing to do that, you will change your life. You will change your business. I promise you, you will build an authentic business. Okay, that's at least the start of that, okay?   Seth Godin now has been writing daily, every day he's been publishing something since at least 2010. So at least for about 10 years, 10 years. And you know how busy this guy is? This guy is way busier than me, right? He has a staff, he has many other projects, keynote speaking, he's way more busy than me. And another guy, well-known, well-beloved content creator, Gary Vaynerchuk, has multiple things every day that comes out and he is so, and he makes content every day, being way busier than me, okay? And way busier than any of you, right? So if even the busiest people are committing to this discipline of content creation, why aren't you and I? What is our excuse? Oh, it doesn't work? Well, of course it doesn't work. If you haven't done it for two to three years consistently or if you haven't done Facebook ads in a very effective way yet, of course it doesn't work. What do you think this is? This is kind of like, we're not in kindergarten anymore, okay? All right?  Then it's gonna work, okay?  So, will you do it? Will you commit to the discipline? Please say yes. Don't say it to me. Say it to yourself. Go to the mirror and say yes. Yes, I will commit to the discipline of content creation, knowing that it has up-team benefits, especially for your business, but even for your own self exploration and creativity. Gotta do it. You gotta do it. There's one thing. If there's one thing you do in your business, that's it. Okay?  And later when I finish this video, I'm gonna put the blog post up associated with this video, which is gonna give you my current rhythm. But my current rhythm is not gonna be your rhythm. Just very, very simply start with, are you gonna do videos? Or are you gonna do writing?  Make a decision. Doesn't have to be complicated. You can always change later. And by the way, your rhythm can include vacations. I just took a two week vacation, or 10 days, or how many days I've been off of content. No content. I didn't even schedule anything to go out. It's just nothing. And then I just come back. It's okay. It's okay to do that. It's okay to take breaks. But the danger with breaks is it's harder to come back to it. It's actually harder. It's actually easier to keep going even during vacations than it is to come back after vacation because you have so many excuses now why you're not gonna do it. Oh, it's not gonna work. Oh, people aren't reading. Oh, but remember, it's about the discipline that there is no excuse there. There's a discipline here. The discipline serve you in so many ways. So commit to this. Okay, commit to it. And do it no matter what. Discipline equals no matter what. No matter what. Now you can take planned breaks. It's okay, but don't do it because you don't feel like doing it. You don't feel inspired. I've done so many other videos about why you should keep doing it even when you don't feel inspired. But it's so important. The discipline is so important. All right, I hope this helps. And thanks for those who are joining me live here. Dorota, Sabine, Hiski Ali, Jason, Elizabeth, Harturan, Captain, Laura, Sharon. Thank you all for joining me live. And Dorota wrote, I'm beginning to experience what you said by writing regularly will have more and more ideas and more flair for writing. So I'm grateful that I'm discovering this principle. So yes, you don't think you have any ideas until you start creating and then you'll have more and more and more ideas the more you create because your well of creativity is actually unlimited. Your potential for generating stories, concepts, examples are unlimited, but you only discover that the more you create. Blessings to you. Blessings to your discipline. They're joyful and beneficial discipline of creating content consistently. And one day may you also create a greater and greater positive impact in the world. Take care.


Every good morning starts with a weasel. Absolutely. We're still in a hotel. We should be getting the truck back today though. So yes, another day in the motel, but we should be out of here. First thing, come on morning, maybe even tonight yet. The truck is supposed to be ready today. I told them I've only got this motel for another night and then after that, what is going on with my beard? I don't know, I'm thinking, you know what, I'm just going to shower. That'll fix it. But after tonight, this whole hotel is booked for some reason. Tonight's a Monday, so tomorrow's a Tuesday. The whole hotel is booked on a Tuesday for the rest of the week. So some sporting event must be going on or something must be going on around here. So after tonight, I don't have a place to stay. I'll have to, you know, look around for other places, but they told me that my truck will be ready today yet. So hopefully I won't have to go and scramble to try to find another hotel to stay in tonight yet, because that would be inconvenient. Let me get all showered up here and then update you on everything that I know. Alright diesel, it's time to go get our truck man. They say the truck's ready to be picked up. We're about to walk over there and pick her up. It's at 8.30 at night, so I got no load for tomorrow yet, but I do have to check out of the motel tomorrow morning. I paid for tonight, so I'm going to sleep in the nice comfortable hotel bed tonight yet, then tomorrow morning we'll go and get our trailer from Volvo's yard and wait for a load. Hopefully all my problems are fixed. Hopefully all the problems are fixed. Let's go see what the damage is. I'm not looking forward to that part, but I am looking forward to getting my truck back. Alright diesel, alright, come on. It's time to go get the truck. You're not just doing it. Okay, let's do it. It's about a half hour walk. I hope you guys can see this. This is the palm tree I was talking about and the fake grass. Told you, palm tree and fake grass in Canada. How about that, eh diesel? I was lying. We got palm trees up here. So I just got my truck back. We'll go over everything in the morning during daylight of what they all fixed, but we're about to start it up for the first time. Diesel's already in here. Diesel, my heart's racing. Here we go. No engine light. No other lights. Gonna wait for the air dryer to pop off. Okay, we're waiting for that sound, right? As soon as the air here gets up to 120. Wait for it. The air dryer is working good. I'm a happy man. I'm so happy to have this thing back. Put my battery lights on. My battery light just came on. And it went off. And it came back on. Oh no. No, no, no, no. And it went off. Is it gonna come back on? Looks like it's staying off. Let's check my battery here. This goes for my gauges. Battery. It's getting 14.2 volts. I don't know if you can see that or not. I'm asking about that battery light and oh, there it is again. I'm gonna go and ask them about that before I leave here. Alright, so that was an easy fix, thank god. They put a new alternator on here, right? I'll go over all the things we got new, but I'll do that in the morning once there's light out and I can show you. Oh, there's the air dryer again. Working good. They replaced my alternator and when they had replaced the two wires that connect onto the alternator, look exactly the same. I guess they had taken the alternator off, went for lunch or coffee, and then came back with the alternator back on and the wires got mixed up, which isn't a big deal, but it just causes the battery light to come on like that, flash on and off. They said if the battery light were to stay on, we'd have more of a problem, but since it was flashing, that's all fixed now. It's beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. I'm a happy trucker. Wish me luck. No more problems for a few months. I need to pay this back. Let's go back to the hotel. I'll talk to you guys a little bit more there. Don't judge me. I need something to pick me up right now. And I can't have a beer, so I'm gonna have a Pepsi. I gotta work early in the morning. So, Pacific Coast Heavy Truck Group. Great people there. I would recommend any of you if you need work done. They're located pretty much at the border of Langley and Surrey here in British Columbia. I still call it Vancouver, but let's go over what we all did. We'll go over the cost today and I'll try and show you as much as I can tomorrow once the sun is up. I already have a new load. I lost the load that I was supposed to pick up today, but I got a new one. Gotta pick it up tomorrow. And it goes to Calgary as well. So we'll be able to test this truck out over the mountains tomorrow. Okay, so the original thing I brought it in for is called job number one, was the air dryer. So, air dryer replacement. Air dryer. Let's see. What did they say? All connector and airlines removed and replaced air dryer assembly cleaned with thread lock installed fittings. Notice corrosion on pin in connector. Removed one pin, re-pinned. The air dryer itself, remember we're all, we're talking Canadian dollars here right now. So for the majority of you Americans watching, these prices sound a little higher to you. Take like, I don't know, 10% off for something for American. Okay, so here we go. The air dryer was $417. The cable terminal another $29. So the total job there for the air dryer came up to $765.03. The next job was, what is this? Air leak. I told them to check for any air leaks on my truck. And they found one air leak that said, use pneumatic inlet to put air into tanks till air dryer purges. Spray down all airline components found trans 90-degree fitting leaking and compressor pneumatic inlet brake air valve out of seat. Re-seated does not leak anymore. Replaced trans air fitting that's the transmission air fitting inlet built air, re-sprayed and checked for leaks, no leaks. So they fixed those air leaks for me about a labor $159. That little part that they needed was $40 total of $199.19. The next job that they did on the truck when I brought it in, my TCS light was on, checking advice. They said hooked up to Bendix saw the steering angle sensor red 360 degrees at zero-degree position recalibrated. So they had to recalibrate my steering angle sensor. Cost $159 in labor. That was it, no parts. Stay with me people. Grab a coffee. We'll be here a while. The next thing job number four engine light was on. Check and advice. Diagnose. This is quite a bit here. Okay, checked and printed codes found a lot of codes active on all control modules. Most are losing communication or related to data link. Diagnosed active NOx code. CBR applies for this code. They're speaking French to me here. I'll just keep reading. Need to run NOx conversion. Truck won't start. Checked schematic for HD OBD connector. I hope you know what I'm talking about because I don't know what that is. Both DL1 and DL2 show 60 to 62 OHMS of resistance. Checked gear selector connector. Also not communicating. Pins are clean and intact. Notice engine harness missing loom at front end. Wires did not look rubbed through. Did not look rubbed through. Battery charge is 10 volt. Put on charge performed complete shutdown on truck with night switch and restarted. Laptop. Hooked up to PTT and all indirect codes were removed. Unit now detected N and allowed me to start the engine. Engine started but started to develop a loud fuel knock. They didn't tell me what. Notice DCT cylinder. One fuel injector offset. Learning code is present inactive of 24 counts. Removed turbo actuator and started truck. Runs great. Removed coolant. I didn't know you did that. From the other day. Okay. Removed turbo actuator. Checked arm travel with foreman. Good travel pinned into place. Followed calibration steps and calibrated actuator. Actuated put coolant back in. Okay so same cool put it back in. So that was a lot of jib jabber. Pretty much what they're saying is that my turbo actuator seized in the shut position. I think I told you about this yesterday already right and that was the process that they took to find that. That was very tech speak. But they pretty much they fixed it. So a filler cap. That was for my radiator or my coolant cap. Needed to be replaced. It wasn't sealing. $42.78. Labor on this draw was $656. The turbo actuator itself was $1,398.51. You guys still with me? You guys still with me? There's a dirty core. No clean core charge. $385. But I got that money back because they sent it in. A gasket. $5.44 so that job the engine light. The engine light was $2,102.73 to diagnose and fix all the problems that the engine light was. All right. Job number 5. Still with me. Grab another coffee. Here we go. Oh, this was just ensuring that my speed was limited to 105 kilometers an hour. They just double checked everything because in order to cross into Ontario and Quebec my truck has to be limited at 105 kilometers an hour. All that this has to do with my radio I think has an hour of labor at $164 that was a smaller thing. My radio was locked out. It locks me out. If you're a Volvo driver every time your battery dies your truck thinks that someone's trying to steal the stereo so it locks the stereo and I didn't have the code and the only way to get the code was to go into the computer and that's what this was all about and while they were in there they just made sure everything was up to par so that was an hour of labor. But job number six all right. AVR and cable service performed AVR checklist on this unit need to replace all four batteries removed and replaced all four batteries notice ground lead for inverter on battery post has very poor crimp after battery replacement finished AVR checklist shows a poor charging alternator battery and night switch connections were cleaned that was so they did an AVR pretty much that cleaned out all of my battery components and all my lines and everything and got all the corrosion out of there labor $397 four new batteries $374.56 so my batteries replacing my batteries pretty much and cleaning my whole system that was $772.06 job number seven inverter cable repair repaired cable by exposing new wire crimped new eyelet connector shrink tube around I didn't know they did that maybe they told it to me but you know there's like eight jobs here whatever maybe more so I probably missed it that one anyways was $81.59 $79.50 and 50 cents labor $2 for a part let's keep going shall we we're at nine minutes job number eight replace failing alternator got a new alternator today removed belt and replaced alternator pulley was transferred and torqued to spec after truck was started noticed vehicle ECU needs maintenance hooked up PTT vehicle code was cleared radio code doesn't was not cleared radio is locked out oh yeah that's what I was telling you about there okay so here the labor was $159 alternator was $431.87 total for this job was $590.87 there's another page this is just the end we're at the end now so the total cost for the last four days in the shop total parts $2,742.47 total labor $2,092 $2,092 shop supplies $167.36 total $5,001.83 and then taxes on top of that total final total $5,263.64 so the majority of the video today was me just explaining how I spent my money that I don't have how I spent Visa's money I gotta pay that back in the next game but thankful for technicians and mechanics that know what they're doing because I don't know I still have to pay for my hotel so remember that's on top of that that'll be four nights at about $150 I think it's $145 a night so that's what $290 for two $580 is what I'm expecting so about $600 for the hotel too so that on top of the $5,200 and we're looking at close to $6,000 in total a little under $6,000 for this week a $6,000 weekend and that's not including my last weekend which was an $800 weekend and that's also not including the weekend before that which was a $3,000 weekend so in total in the last three weeks I spent $5,678,000 just about $9,000 on my truck in the last three weeks it's been a good month a good month it's been a good month for the credit card companies to tell you that much so we'll be paying that back over the next while we're gonna make sure that we keep this truck moving I'm gonna work hard our head's still above water we're still doing fine still got my weasel got my wife back at home who loves me got a good family a bunch more dogs at home yet that love me too got a mom and dad that love me my sisters that love me and that's what's important money comes and it goes and then it goes again and then sometimes it comes back sometimes you gotta work it a little bit harder for it but we'll get it back we'll get back on our feet this didn't knock us down sort of knocked the window out of me a little bit but still on my feet I'm gonna give up I will get back up again and we'll conquer this alright so that's the video for today tomorrow I'll go to the truck actually and show you all the new parts that I can that I can see and we'll go pick up our new freight which we gotta pick up just a little bit east of here and that's going to Calgary so going over the mountains it's that same load that we took about a month or a month or two ago it's that freight that they want washed through that automatic wash so that should be fun at least we got a truck wash out of it right nothing else to say let's go to bed actually let's finish my Pepsi Pepsi makes me feel better I don't care what you say I earned this one we'll see you tomorrow


I'm standing next to Claw, you know, the familiar character from the Toy Story movie that we all know and love, but he's made of cans, and actually I'm standing in a building made of, with entirely structures just like this. It's for a competition of architecture and design, and pretty soon it's all headed to charity. The annual can construction, that's right, can construction is back again. It's our 21st year in Boston. It's an international design build competition where architects, engineers and people in the construction industry build these colossal structures out of canned food. The yearly event in Boston's Seaport District is on display today showing structures built entirely from canned food. We're donating over 85,000 cans this year from our one exhibit, which is amazing. It's our highest number to date. And colossal structures means colossal giving. All of the cans used are donated to food and secure areas of the state. So this year for 2016 we had a space theme. We called it Journey into Space. It turns out that the teams really like to have some sort of concept that they can build on. They have a 12-hour period to build on a Saturday. Most teams get it done. Within the 8-hour mark we had three teams that built for 12 hours this year. Their intricate designs made from thousands of our most basic household items. We had a lot of really interesting structures this year. We had a UFO with a glowing tractor beam. We had several aliens. We had a canned observatory, which was this observatory where you could actually peek inside of it and see small planets and stars. We're talking about food insecurities, and that's really people that are working. It's your neighbors. It's people in your communities. It's people who have jobs, but still can't meet the needs of their families to keep meals on the table. So this food is going to 23 communities that the Merrimack Food Bank contributes to. They do a lot with our contribution every year, and we're so proud of our team's efforts. So if you do want to see any of these structures, you're going to have to get here before Saturday afternoon to 280 or 290 Congo Street. Reporting from the Seaport District of Boston, I'm Christina Galato for BUTV10.


Okay, first of all, I would like to thank the organizer for giving me the opportunity to present my work here. So as Stefano said it, I'm going to talk about Integrability of Quentinus bundle and since also I'm given less than half an hour I'm just going to go through to the point of of this. So throughout the talk, we will denote M is an N plus M dimensional compact manifold. So as you see, there are just maybe two technical words that we need to define from the title, which is continuous bundle and what does it mean to say that a Quentinus bundle is integrable? So definition dimensional continuous Okay, I will really emphasize about the continuity is a continuous choice the continuous choice of dimensional linear spaces for every P in M So, I mean, I think most of you are familiar with this You you can think of like if M is one you have just a choice of a line Which you can think of it as also a vector field. So if M is two you have a choice of planes So we said it is continuous. So if the change of the point is continuous So I also want to define what it means to be integrable before we go to the point of an M dimensional Quentinus E is said to be integrable respectively unique, I will Just discuss a bit about this respectively uniquely if through every point There exists dimensional supermanifold. Okay, there exists respectively unique submanifolds everywhere tangent to E everywhere tangent to E Yes, so this is the problem that we are interested in here and As you may know or so it is a very classical problem in the study of many areas mathematics It has application like on PD partial differential equation on ordinary differential equation and particularly on dynamical system Where we are in and I will I will tell you about more a little bit later so and also as you may know this problem is a very Classical problem and also you might heard about the the well-known Frobenius theorem Which really gives you a necessary and sufficient condition for integrability of a bundle given regularity, so and and before I talk about the Like the Frobenius condition I would like to to to change a little bit of language because you know you if you have a bundle You can define it using using differential forms Okay, let's say if you are in a in a Three-dimensional space you have a distribution of plane. There is an orthogonal vector of it So you can choose a form sitting on that vector So that the kernel of that form defines exactly the bundle E and and you can choose a form Also has the same regularity as a as a bundle. So what I'm saying basically is that given And the dimensional is bundle E There exists there exists eta 1 Okay eta n since I am in a E is co-dimension n So I will have n linearly independent continuous yes One forms Is that you have exactly E is given by the intersection of the kernels of eta i's i equals 1 n Yeah, so what is the usual condition that we took that that that that is in the Frobenius theorem is what is called the involutivity Okay, so I will define what is that? invuletivity so from now on every time I'm taking a bundle I write it like this associated to N linear forms and the regularity of the form is exactly the regularity of the bundle itself so E equals intersection kernel of eta i's Is smooth By smoothness I mean just see one is enough Move there are E is involutive if For every If this is satisfied eta 1 wedge eta n wedge d eta i equals 0 for all i Yeah, this is also in most of the textbooks on differential geometry and many kind of textbook This is what is known as The invuletivity condition and the theorem of Frobenius is saying that E is Inter-global if and only if Is involutive so the problem that we are addressing here is to try to give a Version of the Frobenius theorem by relaxing the regularity assumption and we will see later What are the motivation of our study really why we want to relax this assumption? So we need to introduce another notion of invuletivity here Yeah, so we we introduced the notion of asymptotic invuletivity Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Thank you. That's the thing because this This quantity here you cannot talk about it when E is just continuous You cannot talk about extra derivative of these one forms. They don't make sense That makes sense. So what we say is that E equals kernel of Intersection is asymptotically invuletive there exists epsilon positive and a sequence eta k i i equals 1 till n k greater than 1 a sequence of differential c1 smooth One forms is that these two condition holds we have that these forms they approximate these guys in the C0 norm eta k i Is converging to eta i for all i this is just C0 convergence and the most important condition is that We have eta 1k wage eta lk wage d and k i the norm of this times the exponential of epsilon norm of d eta k i Is going to zero as k go to infinity for for every i One This is what we call asymptotic invuletive and as you can see if you have smoothness and invuletivity Is the equivalent to to this because you can take exactly your sequence to be the form that you started with And you have it automatically Think I'm going to move to okay, so we need another concept or so Which I will tell Why we need it which is a kind of regularity assumption which is exterior regularity Say that e of kernel of eta i is exterior Regular or so we have a sequence If there exists epsilon positive always and a sequence as there but Here the sequence that we have here in the sequence that we have in the other definition They might be different if the both both condition are satisfied Sequence of smooth One forms is that so that this condition is satisfied meaning Beta k i minus b minus eta i sorry times exponential of the epsilon d eta d beta K i is going to zero as k goes to infinity for every i You can see really this is this is kind of thing that the the rate of convergence should should really should dominate how this quantity can blow up because as you know beta k is a In some sense it might approximate this Continuous form so you can expect the d beta k to behave very badly meaning Exploding to infinity so what you really want here is this to be control Do to go to zero faster than this can blow to infinity and as also you can see if the starting Differential one form was smooth you have this is automatically satisfied because you take your beta to be the starting form And this is zero at the first Yes Now I'm in a position to state the main problem that I want to state which is a joint work with with Stefano Lozato Then naturally and myself so as you can as you expected is that II that II be an M-dimensional Continuous we have that if a is asymptotically invuletable Then it is integrable Maybe not uniquely though, but it is integrable Moreover if II is integrable and exterior regular then It is uniquely integrable so this can stand as a Generization of the Frobenus theorem for the continuous in the continuous case where we relax the regularity also I should I Should say that there are various version of generation of the Frobenus theorem recipient the literature mainly due to hot man and Simich slow but and smith so hot man deep hot man and I Mean there are many others. So the literature so hot man has a version of Frobenus theorem where He has he has a stronger version of us of invuletivity We should require we should require this quantity Deeta to exist for discontinues for discontinues form deeta to exist and also Simich has the organization to lip sheets to lip sheets continuous bundles like assuming lip sheets where Where you will check this condition almost everywhere. So both of of these generalization they They they apply to system where you have some regularity and our our case We found for instance in dynamica system an application where you don't you don't assume any regularity just continuity This continuity that's what I'm going to go first About to talk about the application on dynamica systems is Which is which is the class of system? This generalized a little bit what what Federico defined yesterday the annus of the thermo fisms So they belong to a larger class which is the class of the thermo fism that admits what is called a dominated splitting So I just recall that briefly What it means was this time to have a dominated splitting. Let's say let phi From M to M C to D fellow Morphism is said to have The dominated splitting splitting two conditions Was like we have Dm the tangent spacer of M at every point splits into two bundles E plus F namely and and they are invariant meaning that if I apply the differential d phi x e x equals e at phi of x and d phi x f x apply to is Phi of f of phi f of phi of x So you have seen this in the previous course, which is a typical case of An annus of annus of the thermo fism and there is another condition, which is why we call it dominated splitting that the supremum of D phi I'm assuming that I'm given a remanion metric that I'm using here d phi of x restricted to e x is less restricted less than the infinimum if I Fix so I should also tell you that this is not the most generous splitting like dominate splitting that you can have This is what is called absolute Dominate splitting you could require this to be point wise But for our purpose for the application of our term we will we will require it to be absolute for instance And as an example you can see that annus of the thermo fism They really have this they really have this splitting and the problem that we we addressing here is now the Integrability like as it exists integral like is e integrable meaning that we have Integral manifold of e which in the case where it is uniquely integrable will give a rise to what is called foliation and So we have this condition. Oh, yes. Yes So yes, this is the core norm. Yes. Thank you Yeah, so this is the minimum expansion that you can see on the on the F. Yeah Thank you. So this is a condition that we're requiring. So definition Okay, I'm assuming that I have a dominate splitting e is said to have Is said to grow at most linearly? there exists c d positive set that Define k restricted to e This norm is less or it was to ck plus d In an application of the version of our theorem said that so in this setting if he grows at most linearly then It is uniquely integrable uniquely integrable and I mean this linear growth is is a condition which which Which is I mean you can see that for the annus of the thermo fism We have linear growth because what the annus of different morphism you have this Define restricted to e Is less than one which is less than Define restricted to f So this is really a contraction. So I'll show me saying that you can allow a little bit of Expansion but not more than linearly and you you still have Lee you still have unique integrability so this also could stand as as a new proof of the of the well-known stable manifold theorem because the proof that e in this case of annus of different morphism is uniquely integrable is do is called a stable manifold theorem and and this also gives another variation of a proof and So as just the proofs lecture was saying if in the case of partial hyperbolic system Or so when you have quite as a metric on the When you have isometric story when you have isometric on the central bundle because if you remember just half an hour ago there were there were this type of splitting that is called partial hyperbolic that the previous speaker just defined and One condition. I mean which would imply this for instance is that you see you have isometric on the on the central on the central Bundle in that case you can integrate the join of ec plus ec plus es and if you suppose it also for the inverse map You can integrate these two uniquely and you take the intersection of the leaves you get you get exactly in variant Foliation tangent to the central bundle which which is also a Very well, I mean a problem for for the study of these systems So I think as I said before our theorem has also Applications on partial partial hyperbolic partial differential equations partial differential equation because you the original for a benefit I am was was for the study of of what is called a FAF system, which is a system of linear PDE So you can also apply this to get uniqueness Solution of linear PDE, but since I'm given half an hour and the urgency is about dynamical system So this is the the application that I wanted to tell you about so I think that's up here
