Yeah so Yeah Can't wait. I've been looking in news about things and when you're looking through the news articles with your white hats goggles on You can see what they're trying to do. You can see The way they're trying to wake people up And it might seem as if it's like fear and scaring and fear There was four. I think There was about four or five different articles about the new strain of you know vid that one The 19th thing There was four but It was all kind of so far-fetched And I took photographs darling. I took photographs of The numbers of p because I think there's a test Is a test of how many people did thumbs down? And do you know what it was a landslide It was brilliant. Let me tell you. Oh god.

Yeah Yeah Hi to uh sarah and her planet orange purple ring Yeah I think you can put emojis in the in youtube it just tells you The So I think I think that's what happens That's what that's what we're seeing in our aggregator here in stream yard Hi to la love a girl And Hi debbie So yeah, I woke up at 4 30 a.m. This morning and I've been busy working straight through No, no nap Been been really really busy Can do a screen share here If you guys have the opportunity I'll I'll paste this link into the chat Check out this article and video. It's called project looking glass insider speaks out There is an inevitable event coming And like right here it says This is part of the transcript that I got from it The choices that we make become less and less consequential to the future and eventually we're pushed into the bottleneck of time No matter what choice we make Very smart people will begin to figure out that something big was coming up and this is where They hit 2020 through project looking glass and they couldn't see any further You know and and the elite were trying they're starting to figure out, you know Shits up, you know, it doesn't matter what we do. It's gonna boomerang Uh something that made it all Also the possible all the possibilities of all future scenarios of any choices any possibility that was fed in And observed through the looking glass inherently Ended up in the same future. So what that means is it doesn't matter You know after 2012 for example When the global elite are trying to push all these negative agendas Doesn't matter. That's not in humanity's best interests. We've already won. It's gonna boomerang back on them The biggest secret of all all possible timelines lead to the same basic set Of history in the future. Once again, that means that You know, what whatever it is that is being negative that's being pushed on us by the mainstream media or the global elite Doesn't matter. They're trying to hold people down But it doesn't matter what they do or say We've won Goes on to say the elites of the world probably figured out That that was the end of the game and nothing could be manipulated beyond that point And we're seeing this all the time everything they do is boomeranging and backfiring and with this, you know With pluto being in sagittare in capricorn, uh until the end of this year It's that that truth vibration is going to continue to rise so Moving moving forward the timelines will contract down to Some inevitable thing, you know, a lot of us think that that's going to be the uh, the solar flash There is an inevitable Inevitable event. It's an evolution of consciousness And this tells it goes on to tell you about the the importance of How thoughts and manifestations how thoughts become manifestations What we believe to be true eventually becomes true. So where are you putting your thoughts? And and ideas and visions that's what you're going to manifest And uh, you know, he goes on to say I again see a new beginning See as a new beginning an end of this reality The beginning of something that we can't even possibly understand Based on our level of beliefs currently and to me that that's the solar flash So that's what I I saw in my vision where you know, this white flash floods the earth and you're Flooded with this unconditional love to a magnitude never experienced ever before Like what he said here something that we can't even possibly understand Based on our level of beliefs So, um, I'm pretty sure That's what's happening. That's what they're talking about. That's why You know, they've they've said that after 2012 it goes white that white is the solar flash and uh Lastly they say that the the bad guys have already lost the good guys have already won the good guys That's you me and everybody Watching this right now. So Yeah, I'll I'll post that link in the chat right there and Yeah, check that out. There's a video that goes along with it I mean this all you know people I've been pressed, you know put a date on things And if I had to give a date I would say by the end of 2023 You know is when all this would happen But don't quote me as saying this this might just be the beginning This might be the onset because as Pluto exits Capricorn it enters Aquarius Is that the beginning of the age of Aquarius? I don't know. We'll find out But this whole year is going to be Crazy and you and I both mentioned In the New Year's Eve predictions before we even predicted anything we both agreed That by the end of this year similar to my prediction back in New Year's Eve on 2019 The world as you know it will be Unrecognizable in a good way In a good way In a good way because you didn't mention a good way last time you said Unrecognizable, did you did you say it was going to be in a good way? I did but that was a good way back then. I did I did yep It is because people went up Exactly exactly, you know And that's that's part of the and I've been talking about this for years on in 5d You know, I've always said that we're going to take this step backwards before we take this quantum Leap forward that step backwards was 2020 You've already taken that step backwards We're about to take that quantum leap forward right now Yeah, so yeah, you can't believe most of what you see is I believe them they're playing out A movie and I'm feeling that more and more each time they're It's like they're trying now all they're trying to do now is to play the story As it would have been Should the black hats have won And they're showing the me through the media That's why they haven't taken the media down because they're using the media to drip feed all of the you know, truth syrup In a backwards way, it's like, you know This new variant is like get frightened again get frightened again get frightened again And it's like people are going shut You know stop it, you know and there's one guy wearing a mask on this kind of tv interview He's going I haven't taken my mask off I haven't taken my mask off I I had to you know see this and see that and it was like just but everybody else there was another There was another girl being interviewed. She said I get a nightclubs. I got a concerts if I get it I get it. I'll deal with it So can you see what I mean if they were really If that was a really a black hat operation They would have put everybody who was fair and negative In that media thing, but they didn't They didn't say and by I'll tell you what ali by the end of the year probably Maybe more towards the middle to the Maybe around october or sometime from like july till october somewhere in that area We're going to see a major influx of positive news on the mainstream media This is part of that boomerang. This is part of the truth vibration by the end of 2023 It's gonna happen and they're gonna there's going to be situations you and I talked about This is well on New Year's Eve something's gonna come up That's going to be so Far out there that they have to talk about it And I think it's something that's been Un undisclosed or unknown It's like an unknown variable at this point that nobody would even fathom right now That's going to blow everybody's minds Coming up sometime this year and the mainstream media will have to cover it And it's going to be something that awakens a huge Proportion of people that were previously unawakened Yeah, I agree One thing is I think somebody's mask is going to either tear come off Something's going to happen where it's just going to you know Unravel or something you're not talking this kind of mess. You're talking. No, I'm talking the real Yeah, yes The real mask. Yeah, that's what I think. Yeah. Yeah, and this is for entertainment purposes only So is it entertainment as we juggle and Yeah I'm enjoying the show. Yeah, I don't enjoy people passing away there and there's a lot of that going on at the moment And that is going to wake people up Unfortunately because it's going to be your friends. It's going to be family members Unfortunately, and I don't want to see that. I really don't want to see that But it is there. Do it. They've done that That's what they've done and Yeah, so Okay, I carry And uh, well, it's a cool poppy clogs In serious love.

I think will be happening real soon Between uh, uh, what the other ones that we've given within the next few weeks or two months It's exciting I think uh I just can't believe it is just um, you know watching the news stories just seeing it from You know what they're trying to do I get it La love a girl exactly. There's I've seen that video. It's not just animals. It's birds. It's insects And animals all going in circles That's the pole shift And it's slight But it's enough for the animals to pick up, you know, and also we've seen all these birds dropping out of the sky and everything Which could be harp it could be a number of concern. It could be a number of things, but um, yeah You're you're gonna see You know telltale science. I don't think it's anything to worry about. I live on the coastline of florida You know, there's gonna be a pole shift Immediately or sometime in the near very near future. You know, I would probably not live here But I live here and I don't think it's gonna be anything that happens in my lifetime on the florida coast I think we're actually going to have that event before then and heck it could happen after the event But by then we'll be up on a we'll be into a higher dimensional level of existence So it won't matter that the you know the physical existence on 3d won't matter So I've added you guys so thank you for sharing Thank you. Appreciate you very much Yeah We're determined to get past this shadow banning but one of my predictions about shadow banning is That there will be um compensation for all the money that you would have earned Should you not have been restricted or shadow banned? Um, there is going to be that coming You shared an article with me that basically said that ilan musk was Gonna buy twitter, but I couldn't find anything anywhere outside of that video that said that so I don't know Yeah, I love that and maybe he'll buy facebook too. Yeah, we's got the money Um, he could so Yeah, let's put energy out there. Let's make that a reality Yeah, put it out there the elon is buying youtube Yeah, Facebook and youtube Maybe that was the plan You know, maybe that is is how it's supposed to be going down. That's part of the end result Maybe Hey, ali. Have you ever seen? Have you ever seen this? Let me see if I can get it up here On on the n5d youtube channel And you can go to any channel, but there's there's a link that says community. Have you ever used that link? No Me either not until today So I posted an image On on it today and I promoted us doing our show Got that five thumbs up. I've never knew this existed honestly and I tagged a bunch of people and I uh I did a link for the video You know telling people there's a sneak peek of the video and I just posted that right before we went on Um, but yeah, there's a community where you can post images image polls text polls and videos So I figured what the heck I'll I'll give it a shot I'll use that community page Nice one. I never knew that existed honestly Is there anywhere on your youtube page that you can actually send a message just a message or is it got to be A comment underneath a video It used to be there used to be able to private message people on youtube and they took that away Seven eight years ago Why? I don't know They're afraid we're talking behind their backs Oh, yeah They should grab here Everyone is in the dead center of where they should be. It's called the now You are in charge of it think and change your reality. You are the CEO. It's the truth Do you know I did a really um, I did a reading the other day for a lady Okay, and um, and uh, I was putting some cards and there was A run of negative cards about a situation that she was in And I said to her you can change this You can change this you can change the reality of your future right now I said you're willing to do this So we kind of did a quick visualization and cut all that shit away I then reshuffled the cards and her future was friggin excellent That's The power that is it You can change it Yeah You know and also, you know people Everybody is exactly where they need to be Right now Unfortunately that includes us but We will be together at some point in the hopefully near hopefully near future, but Yeah Everyone's anchoring energy and if you think of everybody being A point of light holding a candle And you have all these points of light everywhere across the world. We are firing up the grid We are the grid And that's why you know, you have these people that live in towns and places like You know out in california, maybe in san francisco or los angeles or something like that where there's a lot of Heavy energy or london UK very heavy dark deep energy But they're living there here in the united states washington dc and that's the surrounding area People that live there are holding That light and that energy And and and they're helping like I said light up this grid all throughout the world and That's I think may be part of what Brings the event and That solar flash to us Do you think the solar flash is going to start coming at start up When there's enough people that tip over the edge of positivity Yeah Yeah I think it's part of the awakening process and once I get really really really close But it's I think it's going to be that event that I mentioned earlier that you and I talked about on near z That unknown event that nobody could have foreseen That's going to be You can't hide from it And they're going to have to report on it on the on on the news And it's going to be something along that line that all of a sudden white people up and That'll start that snowball effect Yeah Yeah I love you Yeah We love you guys too We do thank you for hanging out with us. Yeah. Yeah I've been listening to Holy harmony There's a guy his name is dr. Leonard Horowitz and uh During my you know awakening process I was uh listening to him probably back in like you know 2008 2009 Or maybe even before then Yeah, it was before that it was more like 2007 um But he talked about you know the the healing power of sound and how there's this Song it's called holy harmony and you can find it on on youtube. It's an hour long meditation I have a program it's called youtube by click where I can download videos As a video or an mp3 and I downloaded that as an mp3 and I just sit and I listen to that And oftentimes now I'll play that as a like background music But I hadn't listened to that or played that in years until This past week and since I started playing that My dreams have been like really really intense There's a lot of purging going on in my dream since very positive thing um And I think that that video or that audio It's helping trigger and helping me bring up some of these emotions that need to be purged before this event happens Yeah Yeah, well you you spoke to me and you said that you know you was feeling a bit in a funk you know in a bit of a You know that was uh was it about three weeks ago something like that And you said you wanted to go you wanted to see what you were doing When you felt fired up and the the the little things like your walk of gratitude and You know your meditation and things like that and you said Working isn't it? Yeah, yeah, I I'm just like all of a sudden I've got all this inspiration once again I'm seeing the change big putting out articles. Yeah lots of new articles coming out and uh Yeah, it's just I'm feeling it. I'm feeling the motivation to just all right put things into overdrive and Yeah, we're in the home stress right now We are and we can't let any of this lower vibrational crap distract us Yeah Exactly It doesn't mean we have to ignore it No, because it's also part of the awakening process for people the the normies But you can't you can't sit and stew within that that lower vibrational crap No See it for what it is Yeah Mum's not well today darling. She's them got a um, she's feeling very sick and feverish. So Can we send some loving healing out to mum? Definitely Love you mum. So yeah lots of loving energy Yeah And um, you know, we've got the healing list going everyone everyone's kind of put their name down the healing list I've put greg and me in the middle as well So we're kind of there and I've made a crystal grip because I was teaching about um healing We was doing healing and we did did lots of different kind of healing techniques from crystal healing to um psychic surgeons to water color Reiki spiritual healing um sound therapy We went through we went through so much and one of them we all did a crystal grid So I've put the um all the names of all the people that have ever put their name down on the healing list And I've put the crystal grid over it. So So yeah So you're all all in there We all need a bit healing whether it's emotional physical mentally You can all do with a bit a bit of a boost Time lord. Yeah, that's that's exactly what that holy harmony is. I just posted a link to that Video in the chat. It's the 528 love frequency And wow, it's it's it's amazing And uh, Deborah, we love hanging out with you and Even those who are watching this on the recorded version not everybody can watch us live But you have some people that watch us on the recorded version and thank you as well for Spending your day or whenever you're watching this with us Yeah Yeah, so sarah felt a bit of a um a funk today and meditation helped her Um, she was feeling in anxiety. So I'm glad it helped Definitely meditation. You don't have to sit there and pose your eyes meditation either Sometimes you can meditate while you're washing up While you're hoovering while you're mopping the floor While you're driving the kids to school, you know, because you've done the journey so many times and you're in a quiet zone You know, just make sure that you you are in silence or You've got some of that meditation music on um and just be in your head just Um ask questions and wait for the answers to ask questions and wait for the answers So are you trying to put something out there? No, that's okay. Well myself when I when I meditate for the most part it is with my eyes closed and I'll I'll do certain mudras as well. But um for the most part what I end up doing is just clearing my mind Tabula rasa and my mind goes blank. Sometimes things come to me other times. I'm just In that moment in that now in that space It almost it's sometimes it's like being in the void where there's absolutely nothing And I really really really love being in that place and it helps To ground and censor me, especially being a triple Libra You know people say that, you know, Libras are all about balance, but it's exact same opposite You know, we we're constantly seeking balance and you you've got Libra rising You know what that's like trying to find that balance, right? I wouldn't be able to just clear my mind of nothing in it. It's impossible I think guys can do it easier I do. I think it's a male female thing. Let's put that out there to you guys Do you think that men can just switch off? So completely switch off Because it may be to do with the the birth of the you know women have to You know have the children you give birth and it's it's an in you. It's a DNA thing of a female DNA thing Well, your mind just doesn't doesn't stop just doesn't stop So you're saying that women have a monkey mind We're less apt to have that That's something I want to ask you guys. What do you guys think? That's true. You know when you think about people that You know and what we mean by monkey mind you're constantly thinking about things and you know Question re-questioning and questioning. I know you can train your mind to stop that I know that you can if you really really want it to Um, but I get enough information from my guides with doing it as I do it. So I'm okay with it Look jb 2020 agrees I I could be on a beach and it could be during spring break with thousands of people around me and I could I could close my eyes and meditate And block the entire beach out where it's just me and the beach I'll tell you what though Before when I had adhd I couldn't do that I and I think that that might be the You know if for guys Maybe we're more apt to have adhd And that's our monkey mind Yeah Yeah I don't I don't know it's it's it's one of those questions, isn't it? Is it a male-female thing or is it training? Could be just training that you've you've done your training I can talk people down into meditation, but me actually sitting there meditating is it doesn't really happen I love you I love you too. I do I do Yeah, absolutely So I can't send your Valentine stuff off yet That we in England are not allowed to send internationally at the moment They've blocked it. So anybody who's ordered any crystals from the crystal sale or jewelry And my mystery gift for patreon. I can't send anything out at the moment Yeah, very frustrating That's all right. It's like a month away. So So You have to make sure it gets there, don't you? Yeah It only takes like 10 days Well from here to there Yeah, and sometimes it's not here.  That's why they're not allowing Any of that because there's such a backlog And there's been strikes. There's been You know, there's been all sorts of things It's all gone all gone could put and I think there's been an issue with flights And trying to get the post stuff out there. I think there's been, you know, the flights haven't been Working the way that they usually do I gotta get some more orange juice. I'll be right back Okay, love I want to show you I took a photograph of what they said in the website They actually there was a big write-up about it I want to show you You know, because I sometimes deliberately watch the mainstream media the the adverts Just to see What is what they're trying to put out there? I do it deliberately And um, it's it's just interesting the the fact that people are just not buying it anymore And to me it's that's like making my heart sing. It's uh, it's it's good Now I can't find it Perhaps it's on my other phone. I've got two phones I still haven't transferred my stuff over darling from my I um From my um android one to back to my iphone Here he is. He's my man So I've been having this lower back pain And it's been really really really bothering me and I've got several articles on n5d about the metaphysical meanings of physical back pain And what that means and generally what that means is, you know, that you're carrying a heavy load You know, there's a lot There's a lot of pressure on you and you're you know, you're trying to Carry the load for you know, three or four people But I also think that that could be literal too That i'm carrying a heavy load I what i've been doing is i've been fasting I I don't eat until 11 a.m And I eat until seven and then I stop eating again until the next day 11 a.m. So i'm doing a 14 hour fast That's part. I think that's maybe part of the message that i'm getting and also the reduction in weight may help My lower back as well, you know lightening the load Carrying the heavy load. So I think it's a It's a dual meaning of why i'm having that lower back pain.  I've been working very very hard Recently and I I know that that's one of the things that perhaps led to my heart attacks You know that I need to find that time to go out and Maybe go to the beach and play some bocce and go for a walk and whatever but You know, take care of my health You know spiritually immensely physically so and and and through you know better eating and Maybe intermittent fasting. Maybe I can't lose some of that weight and lighten the load so to speak Do you drink a lot more when you are fasting? Because i'm just thinking your kidneys your kidneys might be working over time and that might be the back pain I I do I drink as a matter of fact one when after seven Generally, I don't drink so I don't drink, you know soda or juice or anything After seven but today I am i'm having juice generally. It's just water between seven At night and 11 in the morning just water To you know cleanse out the system Yeah Um, I found the article from our royal mail.

Yeah Yeah Seeker said one article I was reading said lower back pain is You're worried about money. I'm not going to deny that that is true Yeah, so sarah said you need to strengthen your core so your lower back is more supported You had a hernia, which is true Incisional hernia. So you need to strengthen your abs To help your low back pain Just a suggestion. Well, that's a suggestion from a nurse. I think that's a very good suggestion Yes, whatever sarah says I do Darling with back pain you only sit on the sofa, which doesn't have any arms You know, you know how I have lower back pain all the time I've always got a big heavy pillow one side of me so that I can lean over to the side and take the load off my back Now you've got it on the back of you, but you need it at the side Yeah Um, it just it just helps a little bit Also, I do a lot of work in bed. So I might be laying down and typing like this or You know just sitting up in bed, which you know, it's kind of you sink down a little and you don't have that Lumbar support really in bed So Yeah Well, sarah does yoga. Maybe she can suggest some yoga positions that you could do La lover girl says I have a yoga ball. I sit on it at work What's funny though is um, you know, I I can play bocce ball all day And if I were to walk the beach just walking without bocce I could walk maybe for about 20 minutes 25 minutes and then I have to stop sit and stretch my back But if I'm playing bocce ball, I could play for two three hours Without having to stop and stretch my back Because I'm constantly bending over to pick up the bocce ball And that bending over is just enough to alleviate any back pain that I might have from sciatica. So It's the The bending over bit. I'm just visualizing that Yeah Well, that's okay. I do the same thing like you do When ellie and I go shopping. I'll I'll be like why don't we get that Whatever on the bottom shelf there. Why don't you go get that? We've got it bad, haven't we love we've got it bad.

Hi, everyone. Welcome to our first episode of Mike's and My Stings. Mike's and My Stings is a podcast for Stevenson University Athletics and features student athletes, coaches, and staff. What's your name? My name is Jaheem Anderson. I'm a senior wide receiver here at Stevenson. My name is Jaden Harris. I'm a junior guard on the women's basketball team here at Stevenson. Okay, so now we're going to introduce the man that needs no introduction. That would be the athletic director here at Stevenson University, right, Adams. Hi, welcome. Thank you very much for having me here. I'm really pleased to be a part of this show. Pleased to have you. Yeah, so today we'll be diving into a little bit of your background and your history, a little bit in your college career, how and why you began coaching, and a little bit into how you transitioned into becoming an athletic director. So if you don't mind diving into your college career. Oh, wow. Okay. Well, I played college. I mean, I played college basketball initially in Vermont. I grew up in Vermont. I'm a native of Bells. I went to Bells Free Academy, native of St. Albans in Fairfield, Vermont, and was honorable mention all state and basketball. I was recruited by a number of schools, but in particular, Johnson State College, which is now Northern Vermont University. They were dual members back then. They were NAI and NCA, and so I was on a small, out on the back, athletic scholarship there. And a great freshman year is really a great experience. I went through a coaching change that year. Actually, in the middle of the year, the athletic director stepped down, who was also the basketball coach and the assistant coach. Coach Selkowitz took over, and he was actually a great coach. But at the end of the year, they changed athletic directors and coaching staff. So he had a new coach and went from a really great freshman experience to experience that wasn't really fantastic. We had retention issues on the team and so on. And I got into basketball in the high school. We grew up in a really big hockey community. Actually, John Leclerc, the Hall of Famer from Philadelphia, Flyer is actually from my high school. But hockey was expensive, and so basketball was not expensive. So our family didn't have a lot of money, so basketball was my sport. So again, in college, I didn't have a lot of money either. And so I ended up taking a year off. And during that year off, I worked at a correctional center as a main control and operator and security guard at 11 o'clock to 7 o'clock in the morning. I was a substitute teacher at a middle school, and then I coached a freshman high school basketball team and saved all my money to go back to school. And so then I was looking for a division three school because there was anyone offering me an athletic scholarship at that time. And I landed at York College of Pennsylvania. Very pleased I did that. I played for a coach with a legendary coach there, Coach Gamber. I had to sit out a year and was a manager that year. And then I played my junior senior year as a captain my senior year and was fortunate enough that they offered me an opportunity to be an assistant basketball coach. And I was a math major and a computer's major in college and graduated with honors and all that stuff. And I thought I was going to get into the world of insurance. So I actually started working for all state while I was a part-time basketball coach. And I didn't particularly care for that that much. In addition to that, they didn't have a women's tennis team, but they offered me the head women's tennis position while I was there because the assistant basketball coach paid all of $792 a year, which I split with another assistant coach.  And of course I played for Coach Gamber, who was also the athletic director. And I said, well, Coach Gamber, I didn't know we had a women's tennis team. He said, well, we haven't had women's tennis team for the last five years because of a lack of interest. And I said, well, what's the expectation? He said, well, if you have a team at the end of the year that'll be more than any team in the last five years, that'll be a success. And again, they paid me $2,400 for that position. So I was like, oh, yeah, I'll take it. And it gave me my first head coaching experience at 24 years old. And I learned very quickly as an arrogant college basketball player that I had a lot to learn about women and women's sports. And because when I went to the tennis practices, the women on the team very much cared about what they're doing. They love and worked really hard. They're very coachable. And yet no one came to see them. And basketball, everyone came to see us. And Jaheim and football, you can probably imagine that everyone comes to see you play. But it really made sure I made my commitment and attention to that team because it was really important. And so when I became an athletic director, women's sports are really important to me because I know all the values that we get for the men's, the women get as well. And all the challenges too. Women have all the challenges too. So two years into working at Allstate and being a part time coach, a position to open up an admissions at York and I full time so I took the full time position. That was three years. And by then our women's tennis team after my we won the team GP award every year for five years with the women's tennis team. After the third year, we were regionally ranked in their fourth and fifth year, we had a couple players nationally ranked. And so I was actually known as the women's tennis coach. And oh, by the way, the assistant basketball coach. So then Mark Hurgin, who's the vice president and dean of enrollment management here was the new director of admissions at Villa Julie College was what we Stevenson was known before. And he knew me through admissions because Villa Julie College and York College on the tables at the college fairs were right next to each other. And he knew how I was recruiting and stuff like that. So he referred me to the president to be the first athletic director at Villa Julie and Stevenson. So yeah, so that's how it all came about. So I thought it was going to be this actuarial math genius work in corporate America. And I fell in love with coaching fell in love with college athletics. And I really didn't initially what didn't really have the desire to be the athletic director. Initially, I just wanted to coach and make a difference. And so my first year here as the first I've been the athletic director for 30 years, but I've been a D from day one, but I was the men's women's tennis coach, as well as started the men's basketball program here. Wow. So Oh, yeah, how fun is that?  We're just making it work. I had no idea you started off at York. Yeah. So when you were offered that head coach to be the head coach for women's tennis, did you have to go out and recruit or were they absolutely? Well, no, so I recruited on campus first. But then I took a lot of the basketball. Because back then there weren't a lot of full time tennis coaches. I mean, that a lot of the ADs were actually basketball coaches or football coaches too. So back then a lot of division threes, they had double duty. So with with that, I knew how difficult basketball recruiting was, and coaching philosophies.  If you're done learning, you're probably not going to last in coaching very long. And you, you learn from everyone else. So I took a lot of basketball, recruiting strategies and philosophies. And then in two years later, I'm working in admissions. And so then I'm my full time job is in recruitment, and then building the team. So but now we finished the team the year that year with 13 players, and which was a huge success. And we only needed to finish with six. And and I think they had a really great experience. And yeah, it's very fortunate to have really great athletes who bought in and were committed and really excited about women's tennis, making it, you know, meaning something on campus. Yeah, I mean, are only 80, like ever. Yeah, that's kind of crazy. I just think about it. What was the span from being the assistant coach on the basketball team in York to becoming the athletic director at Villa Julia? So I got hired as the assistant basketball coach in head women's tennis coach in 1989. Okay. 1994, five short years later, I'm the new athletic director at Stevenson. I was 28 years old. So actually less than five years. And I was the youngest athletic director in the nation at the time, and the NCI get away. Celebrity indeed. Well, I mean, be really candid though to Villa Julia at the time had just started, we only had 54 athletes, we had a budget of $84,000. That included my salary and eight part-time coaches salaries with 54 athletes. And we only had what they had eight sports before they hired me. I added three that year, including men's basketball and mentors tennis and so on. Think about 54 players.  So how did that go about it? You guys have to have conversation with that. Yeah, so I made the basketball team because we didn't have a gym at the time I made the basketball team run cross country. Because I needed to fill out the cross country roster, you want to play basketball, you run, which helped them get in shape. We had a couple of cross players rank cross country, but most of the soccer players also played the cross and field talk we had field hockey for women, women's soccer, and many of them played women's across in the spring. We had indoor track even back then, even though we had no import door facility. So the fall sports had to participate in indoor track. So we could use it as a sponsor sport because you had to sponsor a men's and women's sport one in each season. And you had to have minimum of four men for women. So you had to have one in each season. So indoor track for the women was our first and then the following year added women's basketball, because men's basketball was such a success. It was in regulations, you have math degrees. Do you utilize that at all? Well, so I finished with a degree in computers and of course, computers, I thought it was going to be my profession, but I use it every day. And then of course, math and their budgets and projections and then also the creative ideas of, you know, building something from scratch. That's very mathematical in mind. But I was surprised because I was not a strong English student. I was a strong math student. But as an athletic director, you learn how to write and you learn how to communicate and so on. So both have served me well, both computers, math and later on English. And when you came over to Villa Julie, was it still all females or? So when I was higher, we were 92% female. We had about 35% of our students were two degree, two year degree students, because we still had two year degree programs. So we've roughly had about 105 males on campus. So trying to fill out rosters and so on. But and that was part of the goal. So part of the reason they hired me to was I understood about recruitment and admissions. I also understood about athletics too. And in York was very good at the time. We were nationally ranked in basketball and we had a couple players nationally ranked in tennis as well. So I knew about the athletic piece, but I also knew that I needed to help Mark Hergen, the admissions group and the institution build the enrollment. So little story too that you didn't know I was also the first resident director. So when I so when I came here on campus, I needed a place to stay, but I also knew that we needed to recruit outside of the region. And at the time we had no housing. We had 28 students living in extended stay residence at a comfort end, which was right off from Rysers Town Road. And you know where the target is on Rysers Town Road is 695. There was extended stay residence back there. So I was the first full-time employee who was the resident director. We had 28 students the next year. We had 42. The final year 96. And then 125. And so and we were growing it through recruiting and athletics. As you know, in athletics, you can't just recruit students within 30 minutes. Yeah. I haven't led you guys talk at all. I just keep you rambling on. It's all great. It's great information. What's the wrong with that? So when we got to Villa Julie, there were eight sports. Yep. We have now currently have 29 sports. NCAA varsity sport. Or 28 NCAA sports, 29 varsity sports. And then we have 10 club teams as well. Wow. So we have about 700 NCAA athletes now and about another 180 club sport athletes. Wow. If you don't mind, we'll just do that journey of adding a new sport, what it takes, what are the requirements for males and females. Like how does that all work? So if you can't tell, I'm really a strong believer of Title IX and gender equity. Just my experience as the women's tennis coach, I knew how important it was in. Quite frankly, we had a really large female population on the campus. We need to serve all of our students. So how do we add a sport? So some of the biggest misconceptions that I think a lot of athletic directors have is that you have to have all the pieces to the puzzle before you start to build it. And that's not necessarily true. We started basketball. We didn't have a gym. The gym on the other campus, that wasn't built yet. I actually helped design that gym. We actually started at Marigold Prep and St. Paul's School for Girls was our practice facility. Wow. And that's where we played our games and we had to rent the gym. We started baseball and softball without fields. We were down at Joe Cannon Stadium down in Annapolis or in Arundel County and Bachman Field and so on. We started baseball and softball without facilities. Actually, the only few facilities that we had when we started was football. We built the stadium because of football and then volleyball. So when we built the gym on the other campus, we were building a gym, so we were going to add men's and women's volleyball. Wow. But in that, so the first thing is make sure we have the interest in the market. If it's not on campus, we can like we started hockey without having any ice hockey players on campus. But we have to look at the market. Is the market right for students who want our education and play a sport? Second, you hire a coach. Third, ideally you get in the league because being an independent is really, really hard. So then you build the schedule and then you figure out your practices. I mean, right now we have swimming but we don't have a pool. We have great neighbors in the McDonough and so basically schedule, coach, budget, facilities and you start building it. I believe that entrepreneurial spirit is a really important part of our student-athlete's experience. Just because it hasn't been done doesn't mean we don't do it. Just because it's hard doesn't mean we don't do it. And just because it wasn't there, it's important that you get other people to buy into it because then they can see that part of it. And it's not just my vision, it's our campus' vision. And I think that's really powerful for you as students when you have that entrepreneurial disposition of course we can do it. And it's not there and then it is there and all of the impact that that makes. Athletics has clearly, you know, grown its dominance. It seems like you built a huge brick house, brick by brick. What was your support system like as you developed this big house? Well, well, the first, I have to say, I have always had to support over the upper administration because I was hired to build an athletic department with an academic component. We talked about winning the academic award each year and how empowering it was for our student-athletes and I really believe that when student-athletes get strong grades and they feel self-respect, I believe that people look at them different, I believe faculty respect them, and that is so empowering that never leaves you. So I felt that I could build the academic component as their main structure of building athletic. I really believe smart people don't fail. If you want to start, you're going to figure it out because smart people are just, it's just another puzzle. They're going to figure it out. So I felt that I built the foundation that way. I knew I'd have the faculty support and administration support, plus I believed it. That was my philosophy as a student. I wanted to be known as a smart student-athlete. The second is I've had a great family support, both my parents and my brothers and sister, but most importantly my wife Linda, who I met a couple years into taking the job here and then shortly thereafter a year later we had our daughter Emma and then Emma's grown up with Villa Julie and Stevenson, and of course my wife has been really supported as well. It's really hard to coach basketball, men's and women's tennis, and run an athletic department if you don't have support behind you. And a little secret, she's a 1981 graduate of Villa Julie College, so long before they had sports. So I've had that support both on campus. I've had the support at home. And then many of you know that my daughter Emma actually ended coming to Stevenson and was a field hockey player, but I didn't know when I was building all of this that my daughter would come here and that she would be proud of her dad of how we built women's athletics and on how we respect both men and women's sports here. Love that. Well, also I want to know about a favorite story that you have during your career with college basketball or men's basketball, women's tennis, and also cross-country. Oh, well I had guys run cross-country. I was in coaching cross-country. Carol Zimmerman was coaching cross-country. Wow, lots of stories. Probably, so one when I first started the field that's on the Greenspring campus was not level. If you stood on one corner of the field and then you would look diagonally on the other corner field, if the player was five foot or shorter, you can see them. That's how much of a dip there was. And there you put our flag in the middle of the field and we had to blast the flag, you know, because it had a concrete base in stone. We had to blast the rock and the flag out. And then we, so we didn't have the money to redo the field, but so we found some money to get it graded and then we got the sod and not just me, but Scott Duncan and our rest of our staff and the students helped lay the sod on the field on the other campus. That was one. We had no money either to, I mean our budget was $84,000. We played three tournaments in basketball because they gave us guarantee money and then we drove the vans. So one of the tournaments we played our first year was in Kentucky. So we drove out to Kentucky to play two division or NAI division two schools. One of them had the Mr. basketball of Kentucky on their team from before we were transferred from Louisville. We drove out there because they guaranteed money, drove in vans, and then because there was a storm coming and we didn't have the money to stay overnight, again, as soon as the game was done, we shower, change, got in the vans and drove all night to stay ahead of the storm. We rolled into campus at eight o'clock and I told the guys they all need to go to class. The class started at 8 a.m. No way. He told them to go to class. Well, they had to. We built an academic program. Academic all the way. So later they told me that they went into class and made sure that they walked to class because I was watching them because we only had two buildings. I could see where they went. And as soon as they walked in, they waited till my car left and then they walked out and slapped me. Anyway. Wow. Wow, really seeing it, like starting to come together about break by break, like didn't say it. Yeah. Last but not least, I know as a player you have coaches that influence you. And you taking that step from becoming a basketball player to an assistant coach to becoming a hate coach and then becoming an athletic director. Which of those philosophies throughout that time you used to kind of build your Wow, I think you take something from every part. You know, as a player, I was very fortunate to make the varsity but I made the team because I had a great attitude and I worked really hard. I made it my junior year and I was one of my best friends was Mike Johnson. Mike Johnson led the state in scoring at 32 points a game. I guarded him in practice every day and he was my best friend. And so I ended up learning how to play defense and then my senior year had a very successful senior year and a very successful freshman year but when I transferred to York they had a lot of really good recruits at York and so they didn't have a spot for me so I ended up basically getting cut that year but I stayed on as a manager had to sit out anyway but and I went from not making the team to being in the top eight the next year but I didn't get the playing time and I worked really hard. I stayed there during the summer. I played in the summer league. I got up every morning at 7 a.m to work out in the gym because I knew Coach Gamber showed up at eight and I where I only won my workout and actually that summer only three other times did another player meet me that morning because I invited him every day come work out with me I'll give my skills and whatever. One player came twice one player came once and they like they're not doing that again and then in the afternoon they had pick up and then of course I was a math student and computer so I worked at York hospital doing biostatistics and research for the obstetrics and gynecology department because I needed money and then I was also taking classes but one of the big and the other influences that I failed and I got back up again and to the point where my senior year I was a starter and captain at York but it was from being cut to being making the team to being a starter and captain so I don't when students come to me and they are concerned they're not getting playing time well change that coaches our coaches want to play players we're going to help them win and if you're going to help them win and you're coachable that was a really important piece and so in this day and age I actually guide a lot of students who are concerned about playing time and stuff it's part of the process failures just part of the process it's not defining so I think that failure as an athlete really helped me because we've had a lot of failures as coaches we've had a lot of failures I mean I had a 2 and 21 season I had a 2 and 23 season after going to the nc tournament and back to back I had a 2 and 23 season but it doesn't define you it you get back up and you go at it and you start to solve another puzzle um so um as athletic director I feel like I've been able to make a difference in a lot of student athletes lies I do miss coaching but I miss the impact I've had on the students but I have a different impact at this level well thank you for tuning in and thank you for joining us so we thought we'd have a celebrity here no it's a legend here so we definitely appreciate you and your time make sure to follow us on boom mustang sports on instagram threads x and tiktok subscribe to steven's athletics youtube channel and last but not least look out for more mike's and less things coming your way


Well, you're in luck because during high school and college I tried just about every side hustle out there and on top of that over the last three to four years I've spent over $100,000 on various different freelancing sites paying people who are doing side hustles. So I've been on both sides of the equation and I know which side hustles are kind of a waste of time and which ones you can actually make some really good money with. And most of the videos that you see here on YouTube are basically just copy paste version of things that people read on blogs where they haven't actually tried the side hustles themselves. And it's kind of just the same side hustles over and over again. So I hope I'm gonna share some really good ones with you today and ones that you have never heard about. And all I ask in exchange is that you very gently tap that like button in order to defeat the evil YouTube algorithm and let's go ahead and jump into it. So the first one I wanna talk about is one that I don't hear anybody else talking about on YouTube and that is independent medical career. So as many of you know, I come from a medical background. I was actually a pharmacist and over the last few years this is a career that has gotten even better than before. Now everybody knows what happened in the last few years with the whole global pandemic thing. I'm not gonna say the words because then this video is gonna get demonetized. But there are certain types of medical tests that are very time sensitive and when somebody takes the test, it has to be processed in a short amount of time. And a lot of the time you might take these tests at a pharmacy for instance. And it's not just those types of tests. You can also do lab reports, medical records, medical documents, medical supplies, medications, et cetera. But time sensitive tests and time sensitive specimens are the ones that are really profitable. And basically you'll come, you'll pick up some sort of box and you'll take it from point A to point B. Now you might be thinking, oh I can't do this because I have classes during the day. And actually that's the best possible time to do it because a lot of the time people don't wanna work during the evenings and they don't wanna work on the weekends. And so this is when medical couriers get paid the most. So the way that you would get into this is you would look up the keyword courier on your local job boards. So for instance, you could look it up on craigslist or indeed.com. And then you would start applying to these jobs on a part-time basis. And I really recommend that you apply to several of them. Now typically you can make about $35 to $40 an hour as a medical courier. And all you need is a driver's license, a car and car insurance. So the reason that I know about this career is because I would always chat with the people who would come and pick up the lab specimens when I was working in the pharmacy.  And I was shocked when they told me how much. I mean, these people were making over $100,000 a year. So here's a comment that I saw on YouTube. Move from Uber to courier work in 2020. I work all the time. I pick up tests and deliver blood from the Red Cross. Work is out there, but it starts with one route. Do a good job and they'll give you more. My Thai girlfriend does it too. Can't speak English well, but six figures. So this guy and his girlfriend are both making six figures doing this medical courier work. So yeah, super, super good opportunity for a side hustle or even full-time work. So if you're somebody who's considering doing like Postmates or Uber or some sort of delivery thing, do this instead. Next one on the list is going to be event planners or anybody that is associated with event planners. So whether this is a marriage, a birthday, a bar mitzvah, a gender reveal, some sort of party or event that a lot of people are gonna go to, there is a ton of money in event planning. Now you can be the actual person that plans and coordinates the event if that's what you wanna do, or you can partner with somebody who plans and coordinates events and do a very specific skill set. So what do I mean by this? Well, I'll give you an example. Back when I was going to college, I dated an Indian girl for three years. And if you're familiar with Indian weddings, they're usually three to seven days long. So there were people in my class that did event planning for Indian weddings specifically. So you can see this is a very niche sort of event planning. And then there were people who got even more niche than that and they were actually photographers for Indian weddings. And then there was one person that even went one step further and they were a hand photographer for Indian weddings. Okay, so if you're familiar with a lot of different Indian weddings, they get the henna done on their hands. And he basically got really good at taking photographs of the bride and the groom holding hands with the henna and doing hand photography. So he partnered with event planners and they would contact him whenever they needed somebody to take those types of photos. And he was making really, really good money doing this. He was making over $50 an hour. So whether you wanna do event planning yourself or you wanna do one small aspect of event planning, you can make amazing money from this. With the Indian wedding example, for instance, one of my classmates, she actually did event planning and she told me sometimes they would spend over $700,000 on a single wedding. So imagine if you were able to even get 5% of that $700,000, well, that's $35,000. So yeah, event planning and anything associated with event planning, especially if you find a specific niche can be incredibly lucrative. Next one on the list is going to be coaching, consulting, and tutoring. And this is one where in college I made over $100 an hour. So this is one where you want to take an inventory of things that you're already good at because you've done them a lot. You just have a lot of experience with them or things that you are naturally talented at. So for instance, you could be an athlete.  You played the violin for 10 years or maybe you're really good at dancing or you studied really hard for the ACT or the SAT when you were in high school and you had a good score.  And then you basically find people to teach those things too. So if you're naturally talented at math, you could become a math tutor. If you're really good at baseball, you might get hired by some rich parent to do one-on-one lessons with their child. In my particular case, I scored really well on this test called the PCAT during college. This is the Pharmacy College Admissions Test. And the reason I scored really well on this test is not because I'm super smart. It's because I found the best resources for the test. So there's a ton of different resources out there for the PCAT and I found the best one by far. And I did that through trial and error. I tried a bunch of different ones out and I found the best one that basically, I don't know if this guy had like some kind of inside connection, but the practice test that he gave, I swear it's almost like question for question. A lot of them were almost exactly the same as the PCAT. So I ended up scoring extremely well on this test and people actually started coming to me when people heard what I scored and asking me to tutor them. And at first I did it for free, then I started charging like $50 an hour, then I started charging $80 an hour and eventually I got to over $100 an hour. And basically I would just tell them all the resources that I used and how I studied for the test. So this is another one where you wanna find a niche. You don't just wanna be like, oh, I can teach anybody anything. I can tutor you on any subject. You wanna find a specific niche and then you wanna post on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace, something along those lines and see what people take you up on your offer. Next on the list is being a social media influencer or somebody who is a virtual assistant for a social media influencer. So everybody knows how much money you can make on YouTube or blogging or even on TikTok, Instagram, et cetera. But what almost nobody talks about is almost all YouTubers have either contractors that they work with or people that they hire full-time to help them with their channels. And editing YouTube videos is way different than editing other types of videos. So YouTube video editing, for instance, is a very unique skill set. And same thing with other types of videos like TikTok, et cetera. Same thing with doing research and writing scripts for YouTube videos. Same thing with making thumbnails on YouTube. That's way different than just becoming a graphic designer. It is a unique skill set that takes time to get good at. So if you can get good at one of these skills and you can save some YouTuber like five, 10, 15, 20 hours per week, they are probably gonna pay you very well for that. So depending on the skill that you do, you can easily make like 15 to $20 per hour. All right, so the next one on the list is one that I do hear a lot of people talking about, but it's honestly such a good one that I wanted to mention it in this video. And that is pet sitting or house sitting. So this is one that's pretty self-explanatory. Somebody goes out of town and they need somebody to take care of their house and their pets. And you might do some really basic things like just making sure that the pool filter gets changed or something along those lines.  So Rover.com is a really good option for finding gigs like this. I think you also have this option on TaskRabbit. But yeah, this is another one where people out there that made like multi-six figure businesses by becoming dog walkers, taking care of people's houses and taking care of their pets. The next one on the list is one that I did for years and I believe this is actually the first way that I ever made money and that is flipping items. Okay, so this is probably the oldest business in all of human history and that is you find an item, you buy it for a certain amount of money and then you flip it, you sell it for more. So I did this for years.  I would find a really good deal at a garage sale or Craigslist or sometimes people would just like throw TVs away and then I would buy it or I'd collect it and I'd sell it for sometimes double, triple or quadruple the money. There was one time I bought a car for $600 and I ended up flipping it for over 2000. So yeah, I think this one is pretty self-explanatory. There's entire websites and YouTube channels dedicated to teaching you how to do this. This is one of those skills that's never gonna go away. It's highly recommended that you find a niche, something that you're really good at and you're really knowledgeable about and then just buy and sell things. And in terms of how much you can make with this one, it really varies but you could probably make well over $30 to $50 an hour. Next one on the list is going to be a social media manager. Now, if you're somebody who spends a lot of time on social media already, like you're browsing YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, et cetera, there are companies out there that will actually hire you to respond to comments, for instance, on that social media platform. So a company might hire you to respond to comments on Twitter, for instance. Now, as you can imagine, this does require a really good knowledge of the company itself and it also requires you to kind of just have to know what's okay to say and what's okay to not say. So you basically have to be very brand friendly. It is a skill set that you have to learn. There's also other types of social media management type jobs that you probably have never heard about. One of them is link building and this is basically where you work for a blog and you reach out to other blogs to try to get backlinks to your blog. Now, this is actually like an underground, secret billion dollar industry because when you get backlinks to your blog, that means the blog is gonna rank higher on Google and that means more people are gonna choose to buy the products and go to your blog articles and then they're gonna make a lot of AdSense money from that. So you're gonna be outreaching to other blogs and in some cases you might even be writing guest posts which you will then use to link back to your blog. And this is a position that I'm currently trying to hire for in the next six months or so because I'm launching my blog and you can easily start off at 15 to $35 an hour. Speaking of me trying to hire, another position that I've been trying to hire for a very long time is a freelance writer and that is the next one on the list. Now, this is one where you can work for a lot of different types of businesses. For instance, you could write blog articles and it really helps if you write blog articles that you have some knowledge of SEO or search engine optimization. You could also be a freelance writer that writes copy. Copy is basically selling using the written word. You could be a freelance writer that specializes in email marketing. You could also be a freelance writer that specializes in helping people to write YouTube scripts. And this is another one where you wanna figure out what your specialty is and what your niche is. So for instance, maybe you are a freelance YouTube script writer in the personal finance space. You could probably help someone out like me who does a lot of these types of video. And you would basically help them out with the research as well as writing the script itself. And you can easily make over $30 an hour sometimes much more than this if you become an expert and you get recognized in that niche. Next on the list is going to be physical labor. This is another one that I did for years and it is so lucrative. So for instance, recently I moved and I hired somebody on TaskRabbit for $35 an hour and then after I tipped them, they ended up making over $50 an hour. And they basically were just helping me to box things up and move them. Super, super, super profitable. I also used to do this in high school and college myself and I would make around $50 an hour as well. It does help if you have your own truck or van. But with that being said, you don't need to have a truck in van. You can very easily rent a truck from the Home Depot for like $20 a day. And you don't have to just do moving. You can help people with gardening, painting, interior decoration, et cetera. For instance, when I was setting up my YouTube studio, I hired somebody and paid them about $40 an hour to help me set up the studio. She had a really good eye for interior decoration and she helped me make the studio look awesome. I also knew somebody in Las Vegas who was a pastor for a church and while he was trying to get that church off the ground to the point where it was self-sustaining and making enough money, he actually started a moving company and he was making over $100,000 a year. And then he used the funds from his moving company to help start his church. So yeah, this one isn't very scalable but it is easy, easy money. Next one on the list is probably the best business model online. It's so unbelievably easy to learn and that is affiliate marketing. And this is one where you're probably not gonna make much money right off the bat but it also has the highest ceiling out of all the ones on this list. So basically the way affiliate marketing works is you prefer a product to somebody else and if they choose to buy that product, you get a percentage of the sale. So you could refer a product to somebody that costs $100 and if they buy that product, maybe you get 10% or $10. So we all know how expensive books are in college. You know, you might have to buy a book and it costs like $500 or $700 to buy the book as well as the online program that goes with it. But there are networks out there where you can buy basically the same book but the year before and maybe it costs $50 or less. And so one of my friends back in college signed up with an affiliate network and whenever people were complaining about how much their books cost, he would just mention, if you can get this book for like $50, then he would send them the referral link and he would get a small cut of whatever they spent. So this is one way you can do affiliate marketing without even having an audience. But with that being said, if you can build a big audience, affiliate marketing is just a phenomenal business model. You don't have to worry about hiring people, storing products, creating a really good product or service that somebody wants to use, doing customer service or anything like that. All you have to do is get people to click your links. It is seriously one of the easiest business models out there. Now affiliate marketing is actually a type of digital marketing and that is the next one on the list. And digital marketing is not only something that you can do as a side hustle but you can actually do it full time and it's one of the best entry level careers that you can get into without a college degree and without any experience. And this is another one where you want to find a niche and if you do it as a freelancer you can easily make $40 an hour or more. If you get your first entry level job you'll probably start off around $20 to $25 an hour. Now I've talked about this before on the channel and I've actually interviewed a bunch of people who have gotten into digital marketing and the best way for you to get into this in my opinion is to check out the free masterclass from my friend Seth. I'm gonna put that down in the description below. You can also check out the playlist of different people that have gotten jobs in digital marketing using Seth's online course.

Yes, we did. You did better, right? Well, there for best. Well, come in. Yes, thank you. Just be here for a few minutes. You're welcome. Nice to see you. Good morning. How are you? Thank you for your hospitality to my wife. Well, I won't get too close to you. Let's see. How are you? We will be in here. How many? There's so many. Let me see. Where your picture gets taken. I tried. I used to not be able to. In three days, in the general vicinity of work, some time later, it was decommissioned. Became a legend in his tragic death. Well, I can tell you that I'm very pleased and we all are with the meetings that we've had with Prime Minister Willick. Norway and the United States enjoy close ties that long predate our alliance. And it's always a happy occasion when we find a friend like Prime Minister Willick paying us a visit. Our discussions today come at a critical time that is more important than ever for freedom-loving people on both sides of the Atlantic to reaffirm their shared security interests. For our part, I assured the Prime Minister of a firm American commitment to the preservation of peace and freedom and of our continuing efforts in coordination with our allies in the North Atlantic community to achieve reductions in the military arsenals of both the East and the West. The Prime Minister and I also discussed General NATO security issues and the importance of Norwegian energy supplies to the West. Our talks on all of these matters were positive and upbeat, as was our discussion of the international economic issues. I'm deeply impressed that in these challenging times, Norway and the United States, two longtime friends continue to have strong commonality of interest. The Prime Minister will have found the visit as useful as I did and I look forward to maintaining a close and friendly relationship that is traditional between the leaders of our people and our two countries. Mr. Prime Minister, it's been good to have you here. Mr. President, I would first like to thank you for your gracious words. My visit to Washington, my discussions with a number of American leaders of course in particular the meeting with you, Mr. President, today has indeed been very, very useful to us. And I would like to add that we feel here as we felt in Minnesota earlier this week how close our two nations are. I have had the opportunity to present Norwegian views on a number of problems facing us today. The most important current issue is the question of disarmament and arms control. And in particular the Geneva negotiations. The Western goal remains clear we want to reach a balance of forces in Europe with as few nuclear weapons as possible. The zero option with no intermediate nuclear weapons on either side is the optimum outcome. We know that the U.S. will make all possible efforts to get an agreement with the Soviet Union as close to this optimum as possible. And to achieve this it is of the utmost importance that the allies stand united. We also had the opportunity to discuss a number of other issues as the President mentioned we discussed among other issues the economic outlook and the possibilities for improved international cooperation to achieve a revival of our economies and a reduction of unemployment. Mr. President I wish to thank you once again wholeheartedly for your kindness and for all the useful discussions we have had. Thank you so much Mr. President.
