What is going on guys, today I am back with another Fortnite video and this is a direct follow up to the one I posted already which if you missed you will find the link to the video in the description. So what I got to do is, I got complete 2 missions in a 9 plus on, I did the first one in the first video you saw, I've also got a clear 4 husk encampments in successful missions in 9 plus on's which we're going to do right here right now, so let's get into it. Ok so this is the second mission I will be doing in the 9 plus on by myself solo, as you can see from my first video I've switched back to this character my soldier because I prefer red and ninja, at the moment I do anyway, I think the grenade ability is better than the kind of slashy charge thing you get with your sword, so yes, but this video is going to go on again along like the first video, it's going to go on for about 30 minutes maybe, if that's what you'd like to see and want to see more of the long Fortnite videos, leave me a like, it's much much appreciated as always people. Give me any tips if you see me doing something wrong, if you see me failing here, there and everywhere, let me know, let me know where, because obviously I'm a noob at the game still, I'm still at a low level, I'm still getting the hang of the game, definitely don't know the answer to everything, I know certain things this, that and the other, but I could do with your help and learning more about the game and doing things right because if you would have watched my first video I was making so many silly mistakes building, trying to protect and stuff, so yeah, now we do have to, I've got to grind here, because, oh it's lagging a bit, I need materials, but see if there's any chests down here, there's normally chests hiding, you can normally hear chests before you can see them, hear the sort of like glow of them, there's nothing, nothing down here, there's not much to, that's why I prefer cities because you can just smash cars and get nuts and bolts and metals, you can make ammo and steel structures and that, metal structures, which is the best for defending your point, what I need and I haven't got hardly any materials here, so I apologize, a lot of this video is going to be me grinding and smashing things, yes that's what I like about this game, this game is so chilled, it really is, it's just a chill, chill game, what we got in here, what we got in here, got a floor trap did I see then, yes I did, so I'm going to use, should have just shot it to be honest, I'm going to use that floor trap, now you can see I seriously hand it, let's get out of here, let's get out of here, okay so like I said there's not much, I think things are going to have to build a brick because there's just not enough metal on this map for me to make what I want, but then they get books, almost as good, got a bit here though, let's get this, let's get this, I can't wait to upgrade my pick as well, so I'll get more materials from me bashing, is that the more, it's a good iron the bashing is, I'll get an electrocuted den, you see that, I'm going to smash the floor, I'm not long knew that, when you're smashing things you see a little target on the screen, if you hit the target, yeah you destroy things faster, there's me just smashing along, wondering why that didn't know what that target was, but yeah what is in these little things, hey we got nuts and bolts there and we got, oh retractable floor spikes, nice, nice that's what I mean, you better just search you know looting because you never know what you're gonna find, I love these looting games, I love them I really do, long grind for little rewards, it's the element of surprise, unexpected rewards which gets you addicted to games like this, for me anyway, seriously does, I've only got 150 mails in a minute, no brick, no nothing else, well 79 brick a bit of wood, but I trust me that is not enough, that is not enough to defend base, which is what I need to do, I'm just gonna bash everything, you guys can screw away, go away, go up, they're everywhere, they're everywhere, yep they're coming for me, come on in, hate shots for days, hate shots for days, now I have got an actual shotgun I want to craft, see I can come in seriously handy at close range, close range battles, let it destroy, I've spreaded the shots as well and there's my form vibrating, I've spreaded the shots as well, really help out when there's multi-targets running at you, so yeah, I'm trying to, well see what you need, see what I need to craft that in a second, after a bit more smashing and bashing, just break everything down why not, there's a pile of bricks there, I should theoretically get more bricks for bashing bricks I think, let's see if that's the case, no I've got nothing, it dissolves in a couple of smashes, which is silly but yeah, let's have a look at that shotgun, let's have a look at that shotgun, okay it's not there he's right there, I can craft it already, let's do it, let's do it, as you can see I haven't leveled up any of my schematics yet, which I probably should do, but you know as soon as I level up my schematic I'll get a better weapon or something and I'll use that instead of that schematic I've just used, which is just normally the way with me, it's normally the way, now I do need to find another encampment, which we will look for in a second, there's one right there in front of me actually, there you go, found it already, right even looking, right even, oh that blow up, I've made that mistake before, bashing one of them is blew up in my face and almost killed me, give me that, give me that, give me that brick, give me that, give me that, give me that brick, shall we see if it blows up, how are we doing, that's good, that's really good, I'm just seriously loving this game and because obviously you guys know I'm a destiny, well I'm a destiny based channel, my channel is basically mainly on destiny but I do like to post the odd game here and there, different game, when times are dry like the old destiny at the minute, there's a seriously dry with destiny, they are talcum powder dry with destiny at the minute, so like it's just nothing to do on it, there's just nothing to do on it and the wait for destiny 2 is about a month and a bit, so yeah not too long to wait for destiny 2 and we need games that keep us occupied while we play, well while we're waiting for destiny you know and this is one of them games, seriously it's a great great game, now a lot of people will be like, I've heard of it but I don't know if it's my type of game, to be honest it's a hard game to explain to someone what it's all about, like I've had a few people that have asked me about it and I've said well you are, it's definitely a loot, a shooter but you have to build, you have to defend, you have to, it's just working a team, it's a good game but like it's not, it's definitely not for everybody, the best thing can do is advice can give to anybody, is just watch videos, just watch videos and I might have ammo as well, definitely need to grind more, I need metal, I do need metal for my, I'm gonna have to build out a brick and use the metal I've got for my ammo and that, but yeah the best advice I can give somebody who is thinking about buying it but don't want to pay the money for it, because I think it's a, it's a free to play game next year, is a free to play game next year, I think on PlayStation when it's free if you buy like one of the packages you sort of had but I don't plan PlayStation, I'm not sure about that, I just had a survivor scream help then as well, we're going to save her in a second, but yeah it's definitely in my opinion it's a fun fun game but it's for sure not for everybody, it's for sure not for everybody, but there's a lot, I don't mean a serious lot to this game, there's a absolute ton of things to do with this game, definitely, there's another one there, hold up a minute, okay so just in my last video I couldn't figure out whether it was one of these on each map or two, okay it's on the last one I searched literally 75% of the map and found one and this one I found two so far already, this is why I love shotguns, they just absolutely murder enemies at close range, get out of here, so I need one more now for that to be done so hopefully we can find it on this map, let's do some more bashing, wood right here and we haven't found Eliza's van yet, so yeah I don't know if it would be in the same place it was last time, that was a difficult place to building that was, seriously was, forget that, whatever that is I'm not even sure but yep forget that, let's go and get some more metal for bullets, I forgot about that I'm gonna hear her screaming my name, I'm guessing she's underneath, made that mistake there's so many times thinking I'll do it above, look at the top of the building, there's me off-skilled right to the top of the building to realise we're in the basement, one floor below where I started, oh great what's down here, is she gonna be down here, I think she might be, there's a lot of things to bash so yeah, get these, well we're here, yeah like I said guys this is the game where you just, like see me personally when I watch people who post long videos such as like destiny strikes or a destiny raid from begin to end, I will sit there keep myself occupied by doing something else and have it running in the background, that's, well I do all I'm playing a game like oh I've watched let's play to this while I'm playing it just to like, I just like to do that, you learn things you do, you're serious to do, got a backpack there, can I search that, oh I can't, can't search that, but we'll bash this down anyway yep that was close, that was a close, close, cool, cool, close cool, I got two bricks, woohoo, so I saved her, see can you hear that, there's a chest around here somewhere, oh it's a safe, oh that's safe, nice, pretty cool, whoa, okay so I've got quite a few things from that then, whatever that is I don't know, just bash, bash and bash away, bash, bash and bash away, oh, floor launching, ceiling gas trap I think that was, nice, I've got so many traps in that and it's actually start emptying out some of my space because I don't need any of these flipping things, what are they, small bangs, oh yeah great, let's get rid of that, don't need them, five spaces in my backpack I'll do, pick up, pick up, pick up there we go, not some bolts, not some bolts, I've got a bit of a book now, I've got a bit of metal now, but I still need more, I still need more, wood, I need brick, I need stone, about 50% of the map has been revealed so far, okay so do you have a look if we can find another encampment, let's have a look, let's have a little sneaky bit around there, I also need blue glow as well, I need to get that blue glow, I've got none of it but I need it for Lazy's van so we'll grab that when we see it, pretty dark now, a bit, pretty foggy, there's Lazy's van up there, okay, there's blue glow up here, there's a building here, oh this is in a much better spot than the last one I did, the last one I did was in such a difficult spot, it seriously was, I've located the van, she's good, can I smash these down, nope, nope, my auto rifle is about to bust, oh my rifle, I'm gonna get much more use out of that, which is not very good at all, let me just quickly check, I don't think I've got what it takes to build it either, no I haven't, I need a blast powder which I'm not sure you made from coal, can I make that myself, I'm not sure I can, I'm not even sure you can, oh I can, I can make it, let's make lots of that because I'm gonna need, I'm seriously gonna need another one in there, weapons, crafting, I'm gonna crafting slot it here because look at there, that one's literally on its lesser legs, so I ain't gonna get much use out of that, took a craft out and put it down, there we go, oh no, it didn't slot it for some reason, there we go, so we're full, we're full on a durability I don't know why it's changed my sword that annoys me that there's your pick up, that's not the sword, actually no I'm gonna use that because it's an epic, better than my razor blade, I'll call it a laser blade, you pick up a weapon and it automatically puts in a slot where you don't want it, which is annoying as hell, let's use a bit of sword, whoa, they're messing me up, my shield is gone already, my shield is gone already, let's just grind a bit more then we'll start this up and try and defend it and see what we get, see now this is a decent thing because I can only come up a few ways but I'm guessing we're gonna have the little zombies that throw things which are really annoying as well, not really annoying, I don't know what they're throwing at you but the falling ship that just blows up in your face it's not very good, there's blue glow down there as well and it's gone daylight so we can see what we're doing here, she's good, see what we're doing, screw up the flat, break these down, I've got quite a lot of brick now which is good, get a bit more wood, I'm gonna build a surrounding area with wood and then move on to stone or brick and then probably and a little bit of metal as well I've got plenty of metal to build a few walls, don't need all of that for ammo, that's a damn shot okay so let's go, now if you guys have like any crazy weapons because I have the only one weapon I've got, I'll show it you now, the one weapon I've got which I've just kept because I just love the design of it, is this here, this thing is amazing, this one, I mean the design of it, it's just like one of them crazy weapons, it's like a charge sniper but it's only a rare, I mean it's good but it's not as good as some of the ones I can get and I've seen some videos on line of people use some ghostbuster weapons and I'm like this that and the other, if you have any weapons like that please please send me a picture of what you got, oh there's a chest there, my Twitter is at DPJSC08 as always it can be found linked within the video description I love to see these weapons, it gives me my motivation to play, play, play, play more when I see these things I'm like I've got to grind for that, I've got to play until I get one of them that's just amazing, now if I look at some of the skill trees and some of the ability you can unlock I've upgraded more, oh well I'll see if I can get one of these weapons she's left on the d-pad and I just can't wait, skill tree for those, overwhelming the amount of things in there to do and unlock and you have to grind, it's probably going to take a long grind longer than a month until Destiny comes out to get that far I'll continue playing this while Destiny 2 is here, if it's what you guys want to see I seriously will, oh mushrooms I'll be like oh it's Dan, I didn't hear that little survivor back there wasn't there so might as well go and arrest you, him you know, may as well, to regards another blue glow there, was he down here see that music there that kicks in, I hear a touch of the walking dead start theme there I don't know what it is but I definitely want to see it see that music there that kicks in, I hear a touch of the walking dead start theme there I don't know what it is but I definitely do now I heard someone scream help, but he ain't showing up on my radar so probably weren't that close to him, is that what that means, I'm not even sure whoop whoop whoop, yes chop you up, what was that why did that just blow up, oh there he is hello mate oh he needs a medkit, okay let's go and do that let's save him before these zombies get in there, so there's a medkit I gotta go find which I have done once before which can be annoying to find, they seriously can they can be so annoying to find, but you know oh sorry so it's in this area, it's in this vicinity as you can see it's blue all behind so the medkit is going to be up there or down here, and that's not very big so you have to get relatively close to the spot, it can be hiding anywhere more blue below there can of beans, yeah what do you think, I just know it is, I know what my looks like and that's going to be the way there we go there we go, might as well have a look in this cave though, there might be something good there's not going to be a chest all the way down here there has to be one, let's keep an ear open to hear anything, okay so there's no chest unless there's something behind this waterfall nope, but there is blue glow and we want blue glow, so there's nothing, that is a bit of a disappointment shout out woman you don't need a second to refine these one of me I might as well, don't know what I'm going to get I'm going to have a bit of my drink because my mouth is dry so there's extra extra brick diamonds there and now I've got them, no crystal that's decent, whatever they're useful I have no idea but I'll take them, thank you, we've got magic mushrooms here thank you, we've got toolbox there can't hear no no chime from a chest so yeah, I don't know what is that it's just a wall behind that you have to, there's things hidden in so many places I've noticed, you go into a building there's no way of getting down but if you smash the wall down or you smash the floor down you'll come to a secret hidden passage or room and there's a chest in there, she's great I think that means my video has just rendered okay so, whoa get out of here man, so whoa, thank you many weapons in this game, don't do enough damage in my opinion if that was my shotgun, he would have been ban and out a survivor can be heard nearby but I can't hear no survivor, oh there he is, he's over here thank you, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh I mean look at that, look at that shotgun just torn to bits, okay so we need to go back towards the van, we need to start that up I've got my blue glow now, I've got what I need let's see if we can do this, let's see if we can do this I can't find another encampment which is fine I can always go back into another mission and do one of them okay, I'm stuck on a rock, I thought I was stuck on a rock then I'm gonna build around this in a second, let me just see which way these are going to be coming from deposit the blue glow okay so they're coming from every angle about 120 build limit, we'll start with the wood let's start with wood and I'm going to build away from the cliffs because they can go up the cliffs and jump straight over your base, which I had done to me before it's usually annoying so let's edit this get rid of that, that, that, that, that and that and build one, there there, now where's the rock okay so let's just keep going, that way that way, that way that way, there we go it's actually a good spot there to see but you know, they come from various angles and can do you over, this is just the first line of defence, this wall here, it's just the first line of defence because as you can see on the map, they are going to spawn in from every angle and it's annoying seriously it is, okay so let's just do this, that and the other that is what we need away from the cliffs like I said, they do jump down okay so I've still got a bit more wood let's switch to a bit of a stone now we've got a bit of a problem, this wall is in the way we're going to have to bash this because in the way, in the way give me that brick, give me that brick, give me that brick, give me that brick I've got floor traps, which I'm going to put down because they really help you out I'm going to put them as a last line of defence around the vehicle if I can because it's how it's of utmost importance you know what I mean, it's of utmost importance okay so let's continue on there we go, now do that now I'm sure there's more ramps here which they can climb up there we go, right here and they do, they're sneaky, they're a sneaky bunch so we're going to have to lock that off I don't know if we can build actually on here I can do that though any more ramps up here yes you're right here, do that and we put one there, yes we can might as well link you up you know, might as well link you up and they come up there, no that isn't an actual thingy but that's all good so I'm going to build a close wall behind this or around this okay so can I build in here there can I put one across, no I can't so I'm just going to have to make a jigsaw around this there we go, let's build as many as I can where's there's another ramp down here I don't think there is, there's that there let's build another one here, there we go so I've used 92 out of 120 so far make sure you do a few floors you know I ain't fussed about the recommended building limit I am not fussed about that okay so yes there we go so can I build traps, yeah don't even know if I can build traps that one's still being built, still being built no I don't even know can I put traps down on these I'm pretty sure I can I think I've got craft traps have I but I equip it so is that how it works then okay so it's a healing pad I need floor traps to be honest floor launch I don't really want that retractable I think we'll just use these for that in a minute how many of these have we got, we only got the one I've got quite a few of these, I've got lots of floor traps these ain't getting to my thing these are not getting to my thing what one did I just put down then don't matter, it doesn't matter it's not like I won't come across hundreds of these in the coming days so it's all good oh what's that, oh it's a healing pad which is actually a good spot to put one in okay so what else can we do here I think we're pretty safe in a minute I've used 106 out of things here should we go let's go, let's activate let's activate defend the van defend the van even not van come on then it comes from all angles as you can see we should have knew that we would do these two can't make it to my nut which way he wants to go get out of it oh there's a lot of them there what are you going to do you're going to do nothing mate get rid of these first four and try to put more walls down what do you think I've smashed through them already they don't take no pruseness yet oh there's so many of them they're making their way around he's getting close they're getting close they're getting really close they're bashing through they're getting to me floor traps I've got an airstrike to use when I want you fat sod what are you going to do you're going to do nothing boy there we go oh dear look at the size of him drop that on his head come on fat boy don't know why you just dropped there but I'm not going to it at the minute I've got things to defend a few of them coming from that angle but it should be all good let's see what that was he dropped was it something I can pick up it looked like it was oh I'll take that thank you ok so they yes I've got blue glow I'll put you in a minute but let's just throw this down another line of defense here she's actually did quite a decent job of defending it you know what there's another thing there hey we can do that let's do that before we put another thing down may as well get them all done there's a few of them there's a few of them oh I hate you get out of here there we go yay wooden spikes ok so let's make sure this wall is reinforced still say we're coming through here quite quick that should be alright I'm trying to build brick there and I've got no brick no we've got metal metal or do metal or do um let's quickly go around here someone walking by my car let's quickly stop that because otherwise you're going to hear a beep every two minutes so yes ok so there's a wall here missing let's do that so which way were they coming up here oh it's ramp ok let's put that there and put that there and put that there ok so we're still within the build limit let's do this let's do this ok activate 4 minutes now to defend 4 minutes now to defend we have a bonus in place run half is above 80% it's trying to keep it that way woo half there thank you I'll take that oh my life here you got there so quick they're just bashing every wall down can't do that can't do that can't do that oh there's someone there shooting woo woo there you go got rid of them got rid of you let's do this now I'm going to hear someone oh you get out of here these are the ones I worry about throwing bombs and blowing things up and that I don't know what you think you guys should be doing you ain't doing anything you ain't doing anything oh look how many of you guys are here let's do this there's someone throwing something over there which is annoying get out of here they just take things down so quick yeah they're taking them down so quick even a metal uh oh uh oh I'm building all sorts of crazy stuff there what do they mean to do this game's so fun yes I know the fort is falling I'm getting swamped by zombies here give me a break will ya uh oh I love this shotgun this shotgun is so good can you stop throwing stuff at me please thank you oh look at that she's breaking the walls down for the zombies to come through look at that I'm not having it where's she shooting from right the way back there I've got a proper grenade arm entry come on now there's so many of them oh it's fun but I'm scared from the van 30 seconds ago ok so that was taking a bit of damage that woman where's she shooting from I gotta take you out come on we got this we got this we got this we got this whoa whoa done done done whoa that one was pretty difficult too that was pretty difficult too but we did it we did it definitely need a drink after that victory finally whoop whoop ok so oh 18000 score aye not bad not bad at all not bad at all level 3 loot aye come on let's go turn to home base that was fun that was pretty difficult but that was fun 45 minutes this video has been going on for jeez I didn't think it was going to go on that lung damn people damn this game swallows your life away it

the video and I will see you on that next one


Okay, good afternoon. Good morning, good evening, depending on where you're based. My name is Gary Chrissy. I'm gonna be presenting today on what we call the ideal proof of concept. This was a wing-to-wing proof of concept for an inter-company distributed accounting ledger. Again, my name is Gary Chrissy. I'm an enterprise architect at General Electric at GE corporate and financial systems. So let me go ahead and get going here. Probably familiar with GE. I won't spend a lot of time talking about the company, but significantly large global manufacturing in various different areas, healthcare, power generation, renewables, aviation. And so a lot of, if you look at kind of that grouping of companies, what you start to see, because one of the first questions I get is why would this be applicable to blockchain if you're talking about inter-company or why would a distributed system be necessary? But I think one of the things you'll see is that right off the bat, an enterprise, a conglomerate is a built-in consortium. So we kind of went kind of based off that premise to say, well, what can we do internally first and then potentially down the road, open it up to external suppliers and customers as well. But today we're just gonna talk about what we could do within the walls of General Electric. So here's the agenda. I'll run through the problem statement in our overview for a solution, talk a little bit about blockchain and hyperledger fabric. I won't spend as much time on that with this group since if you've been at the global forum for the last two and a half days, then you probably have a pretty good idea at this point. You probably came to the table with the decent amount of knowledge. So we'll talk about the solution architecture. This was built using Oracle's blockchain platform. So we're gonna talk a bit about Oracle. But I think that what you'll see is that a lot of those components are interchangeable. And we'll talk about that because that was important to us as well. And where we use different things that were provided by a vendor versus where we worked with our implementation partner, which was Deloitte and where we used internal systems. And we'll talk a little bit about these different pieces. And again, this is wing to wing, right? And I say that because I'm not just focusing on the blockchain itself, right? So blockchain is a storage mechanism at its most fundamental premise for what it does. But there's a lot of things that have to happen around that to build an actual application that does something for functional end users. So we're gonna talk about different things there, both pre-chain and post-chain. And we'll look at the user experience, what we developed as a front end and then we'll close it out and hopefully we'll have a couple of minutes for any questions. Okay, so the challenge, what we were looking to do is we had a internal billing system, IBS, which is a 25 year old mainframe that was processing about four million intercompany invoices each year. Very high total cost of ownership. If you think about the cost to maintain a mainframe, the scale of this work was not necessarily mainframe worthy, but that's where it had been built over 25 years ago. So you have a significant cost in maintaining that hardware, that software and the people skills to keep that running. So what we wanted to look at was what would be possible for intercompany transformation? And just to kind of take a step back for a second for those of you who may not be familiar with that term, it's pretty much what it sounds like. And so if I am one company, General Electric and I have two divisions, let's say aviation and power, and they want to sell, buy and sell goods between them, I can't record that revenue and present it to Wall Street as revenue that came into the company because it was really revenue that was paid from one part of the company to another. So before that, we do our external reporting, those numbers have to be backed out. So all of that intercompany accounting for activity that happens between the businesses has to be backed out. And there's a tremendous amount of cash settlement that's involved in intercompany because when one company buys from the other, you have to move that cash from one balance sheet to the other. And that's expensive. So you wanna optimize your cash movement. So you wanna do netting for settlement. So the concept of netting is this idea of if I owe you $100 and you owe me $50, well, we don't have to do two cash transfers, we can just do one cash transfer $50 and call it even. So all the accounting that goes into that and being able to track all of this activity is what we do in an intercompany billing system, okay? And so what we're looking at is how do we improve upon that instead of having a centralized mainframe, what would a distributed ledger look like? And so these were some of the things that we wanted to have in the system beyond just the ability to have it on a blockchain. It had to integrate with the financial systems. We wanted a mobile first, modern UI, especially the users coming from an old mainframe. We wanted to give them something that was very modern and functional, microservices, architecture, very modular, being able to swap pieces in and out as needed, a dispute management system and analytics. So we're gonna run through all of this. So this is really quick. I'm gonna give you an idea of what an intercompany transaction flow looks like. And you can see that the way we structured this proof of concept is around, we took three different businesses, our corporate aviation and healthcare, and we took a subset of transactions that we knew were relatively easy to work with. They were fairly clean. And we went ahead and we processed how those flows would go between our different legal entities, between our different company codes. And so this talks about how we structured that and set it up. So the solution design is really tied to a business capabilities model. So if you're not familiar with this term, this is something that is an enterprise architecture concept. And I encourage you, when you go in, one of the things that we learned very early on was that the technology was gonna be the easy part. Getting people to understand how this technology would work and help them and really understanding about the process change that needed to take place for this to work was really important. And so we had to really understand and know what the business needed. What did they expect? So we went through this exercise of building out a functional capabilities model. We identified in different ways, what activity the current system did, what activity the new system would need to do, and was it net adding? Was it crucial? Was it something that the users wanted but they didn't have today or something that was critical that they had to have? And so we kind of used this as our North Star as we were developing that to keep referencing back to are the tools that we're building and is the capability that we're putting into this software, this application that we're building meet these requirements and ensure that we were gonna deliver what they needed. So this is something that I like to take a minute to discuss and I think it's a good tool to use as you're going through this exercise with the users that you're gonna be developing the application for. Let me advance next side. There we go. So this is the design overview and you can see again what I was saying before blockchain smart contract is just one of the building blocks, right? Blockchain with smart contracts. It's in that middle layer there. That's where we're gonna do the invoicing and purchase order validation. We're gonna do the netting in the settlement and basically the intercompany agreements are those smart contracts. And that's kind of that rule that says, you're allowed to bill me up to a certain amount each month for certain activity. And as long as it's within that we're gonna let it go through or not. But a lot of other processes needed, right? We have the source systems in the ERPs where we're tracking this activity. We have data integration, data warehousing and of course the front end for the user interface, how they get at this information. So this is the solution architecture. Again, we did leverage a lot of the Oracle tool set here but there's different ways to build this and structure it out. But you can see that we kind of had a process flow here that went from the ERPs through these different, what we were calling microservices or modules. You can see in the integration layer we talk about enrichment and validation. And that was really kind of our take on on setting up oracles and not Oracle the company, little oracles, the idea that I could call out to other systems to get information that I need for the transaction. So DRM is a master data system, Eve is a validation engine. And what those things do is a PO might come in with a cost center or a legal entity but that's limited information. And there may be things that there are rules that I have. For instance, let's say I'm doing business with a restricted country. If I'm moving funds through a restricted country, there's certain paperwork that has to be filed. So we have to hold that transaction up until that paperwork is received. Well, the only way to know if it's a country that has restrictions on it would be to look up what country that particular legal entity is operating at. So you have to get that information from other systems. And then we go and we move it through the process flows. We have our smart contracts, which really helped us get kind of righted inception, being able to get those rules taken care of upfront because the biggest problem you have with a system like this is the reconciliation that comes at the end of the reporting quarter or the reporting month, depending on what cycle you're on. So having something that is self-reconciling upfront through the use of a smart contract takes a tremendous amount of manual work and incorrect entries and processing out of the mix. And so then we go through, we have our data warehouse and our analytics and the UI. I'll talk some more about that in a little bit. I gotta keep this moving because I know we don't have that much time. This right here is really just to kind of show you some of the process flows. I'm not gonna get too deep into this, but basically the way it was structured, and this is a simple one, this is a successful path, data comes in from the ERP. It goes through the integration layer. It gets validated against those other supplemental systems. We use the smart contract to assign a status, right? So it evaluates the transaction. Can it be approved and validated right off the bat? Does it need maybe documentation restriction? Is there a dispute, et cetera? So everything is recorded on the blockchain with a different status code. And as the transaction moves through its lifetime, those status codes change and it's all recorded on the blockchain. It's immutable and anyone can go back and see the different statuses of the transaction as it was working its way through the settlement. And when I get to the analytics screen, I'll show you why that's really, really valuable. Okay, this is a more complicated process flow. Again, for the sake of time, I won't jump into this. These slides are up in a schedule. So if you wanna download the PDF, you can review them and certainly reach out to me if you wanna discuss. This is dispute management. Dispute management was very important because today a lot of that was being handled through informal communication channels, right? Maybe email, maybe internal text messaging and sending documents and communication back and forth. But what we did was within Oracle's integration cloud, they have a process management tool which allowed us to create workflows. And the great thing about that is that the status of that workflow is also getting recorded on the chain. And any of the documents that are getting posted, we didn't put the documents on chain, but we were able to hash those values and put that on chain so that we know that the underlying documents that were stored in the document retention system were the documents that were there when the transaction got processed. So we were able to do some interesting things there. So why blockchain? This is a place where I can speed up a little bit. Certainly preaching to the choir here, I would assume. If you're here, you're hopefully a believer. But one of the things that's interesting that I'll call out here is trust. Because trust is one that again, I'm talking about GE within GE, and you say, well, why do you need trust, right? GE aviation is not going to try to defraud GE power for an internal transaction. And you're absolutely right. That's not the problem. That's not the kind of trust we're talking about. But trust goes beyond bad actors, okay? Trust in a process like this is I have to trust you to do it the right way. And you may through no malicious intent do something incorrectly. Maybe you thought it was correct. Maybe you didn't realize it was incorrect. A perfect example, I started to say earlier, maybe we have an inter-company agreement that says you can bill me $10,000 a month for certain services. And then halfway through the year, we decide that the project is getting smaller. We're gonna cut that down to 5,000, right? So in June is the last time you could do 10,000. Now July comes and you can only charge me 5,000. Inevitably in July, there's a very good chance that that billing is gonna come through at 10,000. Maybe somebody forgot to update it. Maybe somebody didn't get the memo it was being cut down. In the today's world that would go through and it would be something that would have to get reconciled and corrected later. In a blockchain with a smart contract world, if that smart contract inter-company agreement was changed, then now we stop that transaction right at inception and say, wait, this can't go any further because it exceeds the agreed upon amount. So those are the kind of things when we talk about trust that are really important even within an organization that is working with themselves. And transparency helps obviously be able to give everyone the understanding of what's going on there. No intermediaries, right? Today, corporate is the intermediary. If healthcare and aviation are doing business with each other or power, it all goes through corporate. You could question, why does corporate need to be in the middle of that? We're not really governing anything that they're doing. If anything, we're just adding extra layers of complexity. So why not let them work with each other and have Treasury just be a participating node on that network? And when they see it's time to settle, they do the cash movement. So there's a lot of really, really strong benefits in this that we felt that the blockchain value proposition was correct for what we were trying to do. Again, I won't dig into this at all, but federated enterprise focus around hyperledger fabric. We're not interested in trying to do this on an open permissionless kind of a Bitcoin network or an Ethereum network. Potentially you could do it in a closed Ethereum network, but we really thought that hyperledger fabric was the correct tool for what we were trying to do. Important to have a reality check on, not get caught up in your own hype, right? If the only tool you have is a hammer, then every problem starts to look like it nailed, right? So blockchain is not the solution to everything. So we wanna make sure that we're checking ourselves and saying, why are we doing this on a blockchain? Does this really fit? Is it appropriate? Cause if it's not, then let's not go down that road. Let's use some other known technology and keep it there. So this is kind of the proposal, the current state and the future state of how we move data across the system. And again, this is that parallel shared ledger that you have that operates alongside each ERP. So the data flows or it goes from the ERP onto the shared ledger, that then goes into the counterparties ERP. And this is all animated through the REST APIs and integration tools. And then you get the responding part of that transaction. Everybody needs to know, if you may say a charge is coming, but you can't charge me until you get receipt of the product. Well, when that hits the ERP that I've received it, that should kick off a integration that runs a smart contract that says, okay, they've received it. Now let's build them, et cetera. And it goes through that whole life cycle. So blockchain really gives us the ability to move that process along very well. So hyperledger fabric, again, this is even getting more into, I'm really not gonna spend any time on this. We think it's the right tool for all the reasons why you're probably here. You could certainly go and read this. One bullet point here, no cryptocurrency required. We are not doing tokenization. We are not doing crypto coins in this. It's something that we discussed as part of our brainstorming session. Maybe in the future, we would look at that. You could see a use case for tokenizing these assets and using that to minimize cash settlement in the form of an internal cryptocurrency, but that was way beyond the scope of what we were doing here. So for this, no crypto, just leveraging the abilities and the features of hyperledger fabric. Smart contracts, that's how we get the algorithmic trust and the rules that I've been discussing. So this is the smart contract that was written. There was seven different functions. And so this kind of explains what those functions were. And again, each one of these functions main task was to change the status on the transaction. So there was a PO submission and validation, invoices, matching the agreement itself, dispute handling, the netting and the settlement. All of that logic was written into these different functions and then that was used to update the status.  And depending on what status the transaction was in, that moved it through its life cycle until ultimately it got resolved or potentially rejected. Nothing ever gets deleted, right? We have it there, it's immutable, it's there, but we can certainly have a status of canceled or rejected or settled, whatever status you need to close it out. Okay, so this kind of talks a little bit about what we did with Oracle, what Oracle brought to the table for us and why we decided to use a PaaS service. I could go out and download Hyperledger Fabric and start using open source software and start building a network. For those of you who've done it, you know, it's not a simple task. There's a lot going on there. So working with a provider like Oracle who's kind of taken all of that technical infrastructure work and kind of isolated us from that. They spin up all the containers, they provide the rest proxies, they do the patching, all of that. We go in as a PaaS customer and we orchestrate.  So there's some additional things that Oracle does to enhance on top of Hyperledger Fabric that was useful and made it very easy. We did this whole proof of concept in about 90 days. So it was pretty extensive for what we developed in that amount of time. So this is what the architecture looks like. You could see kind of everything from going from right to left. You have your data sources, whether it's an on-premise ERP or a cloud ERP. You have your integration components which leverage the REST components that talk to the blockchain. And then on the other side, what Oracle brings to the table and you could do this in your own environment, but it's nice that they do it out of the box is this database as a service where you can stream your blockchain data in near real time into a parallel database for analytics and reporting. And that was really powerful for us because our users need to interact with this data and we didn't wanna be in a situation where we had to do these really intensive queries against the blockchain. That's inefficient. Blockchain is a transactional based system. The same way in my sub-ledgers and my ERPs, I also have limited reporting and I bring data into a data warehouse for my analytics. This gives us the ability to run that off-chain in parallel and they even have a concept in their database of blockchain tables where you could kind of maintain the integrity so that you ensure that what's on-chain and what's in the reporting database that you're not getting anything to break there in that process. And then we developed, of course, a front-end app to give users the ability. That's where they could check on what the status of their transactions were if something wasn't reported back to their ERP. Maybe they needed to file a dispute or they needed to submit supporting documentation. All of that would be handled through the front-end GUI. It was relatively low code, pretty simple, but we got that up and running as well and the users were very pleased with that. I like this slide, this kind of aligns the functional kind of that business capability and what we built as a solution to the technology itself. And this is one of those cases where, again, some of these components could be augmented with other providers and things could be swapped out. Maybe instead of Oracle Analytics Cloud, one of the providers prefers Tableau. So they use Tableau to do the analytics. Maybe instead of Oracle Integration Cloud, somebody else is using Dell Boomi where they want to just write it themselves. They have a proprietary integration tool that they use. So you can kind of swap things out and that's really important for decentralization because for me to go out there and tell the businesses or then if I ever extended outside the business, hey, come use my blockchain app, it's decentralized, it's distributed, but by the way, you have to use my vendor and you have to use my tools and this is the way you have to do it, it kind of defeats the purpose. It's not really, that's not a good way to do consortium building. You really want to give people the opportunity to build on this in the way that they need to themselves. So I know we got to keep moving. These are really just screenshots. We're almost at the end here. So this is just screenshots of the different tools, the identity cloud management. This is where you create the users and you set up your remote identity providers. This is, again, just how you would do authorization and authentication, getting users into the system. Data integration, these are the workflows that would take the data out of the ERP. They would basically monitor the ERP for messaging in the queue and then they would run a workflow that would bring it onto the blockchain, execute the smart contract, et cetera. This is an example of the Oracle Blockchain as a service console. You can see there my Hyperledger Fabric Network. I have three organizations, Corporate Healthcare and Aviation. And then you can see my ordering nodes, my certificate authority and my peers that are running on each one. This is, again, through the console view, I can actually look at the ledger and I can see the actual activity that's on the ledger itself. So as a transaction gets processed on a smart contract, I could see it here. Or, again, I could go to that external database and see it there. Or, through any kind of application UI that I've developed. This is all it takes to set up this rich history database. You just come in, you click a button, and you say, here's the connection string to my database, my username and password. And it automatically starts streaming the data into the database. It creates the schema for you and then it loads the data there in a JSON format which we then created views to parse the JSON and stage the data in a more kind of a denormalized manner. And then we built executive dashboards. And so we were able to show things like total invoice amount for a particular period, the total number of invoices, geographically where the activity was happening. Interesting side note about the text, the executive summary there. That text was not written by a person, a human. We, that is actually in the Oracle Analytics tool, it was able to define that, write that text using an AI algorithm. So earlier I talked about changing the status codes and what this really comes down to is what I refer to as transactional provenance. And so we hear that term used in supply chain but for an accountant, especially some kind of like a forensic accountant or any kind of analyst understanding the life cycle of a transaction is extremely useful. So being able to kind of show that at any point in time and you can see here the different timeline views of all these different activities taking place by cost center, by invoice, et cetera that somebody could analyze and look at. We could also see the transaction flows of how things are moving through the system, whether they were cashless transactions or if they had foreign currency translations, if they were purchase order or a non-purchase order. And ultimately this was the end result front end that the users were able to log in and see through their UI and interact with the data to be able to interact with the blockchain and the rest of the system. And I think that brings me right to the end. This is the overall summary, integration, blockchain, data warehouse, analytics, everything I've talked about enables flexibility and business agility and that's it. I'm gonna jump over to Q and A. I apologize for rushing, but I know this was a short amount of time to discuss a lot of material. I'm certainly happy to discuss with anyone if you wanna reach out to me. One of the first questions that I'll answer real quick and then I'll jump into the QA and try and close that out is one of the first questions I get is did this go to production or why didn't it go to production? Basically why it didn't go to production is that you, what we realized from this was that the technology was easy. The hard part was changing the functional process. This was going to require a significant amount of change for our business users. And in a world where we were heading into COVID and some other things that were going on, we decided to table that temporarily. We are still planning on doing this. We're using the foundation of what we learned here for some other supply chain proof of concepts that we're working on, actually pilots that we're gonna try to launch to go into production. And I feel strongly that we will get there, but it's definitely the lesson learned is you need to bring the functional team along with you and they need to know what they're getting into. So it's questions Q and A. It says impressive POC, but in a consortium, if one party uses Oracle Blockchain Platform, every participant has to do so too, right? The answer there is no, they don't. This is a hyperledger fabric foundation in Oracle and I can spin up nodes in AWS. I could spin up nodes in my own personal blockchain as long as they are hyperledger fabric nodes and they are compliant in terms of versioning, then yes. And so we even talked about in terms of deeper resiliency, would it make sense to have nodes running on other networks? So those are all things that we would consider if we did go to production, but yes, you definitely are not locked into using just Oracle if you use their pass. So I think this is a related question. It says it defeats the purpose of what you said, avoid vendor lock and give options to all companies in a consortium, but yeah, so you do have options. You're not locked into just using Oracle. And then we put here, you mentioned that trust in data is also about reducing human error. Have you taken steps to reduce in human error during data entry, i.e. when users create a transaction? We didn't tackle that in this concept because the primary entry point for that data entry is the ERP. And one of the things that we set out right from the get go was that we were not gonna try to reproduce ERP functionality. We did not wanna bring people out of the ERP and into the inter-company system to do things that belonged in the ERP. So to your question about getting the errors right, there are other programs that we have. I don't have time to get into them now, but there are other things that we do at the ERP level to try and improve data entry errors, but that is definitely something that we felt needed to stay at the point of entry, which was in the ERP system. So I think that's it for Q and A. I'm two minutes over, so I'm gonna go ahead and wrap. Thank you so much for spending time and hearing about what we did. I was very proud of it. I think it was a really good step towards moving us into using, getting some more skin in the game with Hyperledger and with Distributed Ledger Technology. And again, if you wanna reach out, I also have a link there to my blog post which dives in deep to how a lot of this stuff was done in terms of setting up the network, setting up the data warehouse and setting up the analytics. So feel free to take a look if you'd like. And thank you again. Have a great day.


Hi, welcome to our show. Welcome.  That's with me is always a seagull, Rick. If you're new to our channel, go and smash the like button, subscribe, and ring that little bell to be part of the notification squad. Tag squad goals. And please follow us on Instagram and Twitter. Behold for more juicy content. Today, we'll be reacting to a new trailer. Shocker. That's what we do. What a surprise. I've very requested for a long time. Shai... Shave... Shave... How would you pronounce that? Shave... Shave... How would you pronounce that? Shave... Oh, yeah, that makes sense. Shave is what we're reacting to. Yeah. Nope, we don't read the synopsis anymore because you all hate us for doing it. So, here we go. Not our fault. That looks like a mission impossible. Mission impossible meets maybe inceptiony kind of a... not just because of the snow, but kind of a mind bending thing a little bit. Yeah, I didn't quite understand everything that was going on. Very mission impossible. I so want to see that. Yeah. At least came out 2016, so I'm guessing the film came out around then too. So, it's probably on Netflix or something like that. Oh, that looks awesome. So, I'm guessing, and again, forgive our ignorance, that the title of the film, Shave, has something to do with the God Shiva, I don't know. Educate us. Shiva is a God. Is a God? Oh, okay. Yeah, I don't know. I'm sorry. I think it looked really cool. Looks great. It looked like a popcorn flick, but with some depth to it. Right, yeah. Not just like a pure action film. Once again, I mean, it's kind of redundant in saying it now, but it was... the shots were beautiful. Yeah. And the stunt work looked awesome. No question to react to it. Good call. I'm sorry it took us so long to get to some of these things, you know? Yeah, we are... We do a lot of things all the time besides this. Like, change our names if they ever happen. Yeah. And jobs. Yeah. Steve Jobs. So, if you'd like us to do this full time, send us money! Just money! Come on now!


Hey everyone, this is Dr. Ruzio, I'm here with Juan who's had some really good results with elemental heal and he was kind enough to share his story with us and so we're here today to kind of expand on that. Juan, thank you so much for being here. Sure, thank you Dr. Ruzio. Can you tell people a little bit about this that you were kind of suffering with? Yeah, well, I was diagnosed after six years of trying to have babies with my wife. I was diagnosed with infertility, but at the same week I was also diagnosed with an autoimmune condition. Some kind of arthritis that the doctor couldn't really put her thumb on because of some blood work. So I started taking plaque in all or plaque and I don't know how you call it in English because I'm from Guatemala. And it didn't do much, it just made me feel worse, you know, it made my gut symptoms because I also had a lot of gut issues, it made me feel worse. So I tried something similar to the protocol you put on your book because at that moment I read another bunch of books on natural medicine and natural approaches to these kind of conditions. So I did something similar and it helped a lot. It helped a lot and three months later my wife got pregnant with those just following protocols, changing to a paleo diet and doing a bunch of herbs very similar to what you suggest in your book. But the gut issues and the joint issues were, even though they were better, they kind of were coming on and off. I didn't do the last part of your innate protocol, I don't know, I remember how you call them. Microbials or the feeding approach? No, it's the last, the last, the point where you, so you can keep on everything moving, the prokinetics, the prokinetics, right, that's what I was missing. I think one of the things I was missing. But anyways, I repeated blood exams and they all came back negative after seven or eight months or the blood work on the autoimmune condition. So I reversed supposedly all the blood work as well. It's incredible, you wouldn't believe it and I have a bunch of theories, but yeah, but some joint issues kept on coming back and some gut issues as well, it wouldn't heal completely. So I finally read your book and I'm going all the way with my testimony, but if you want to interrupt me at any point. This is good because what you're describing I think is a really important concept for people to understand, which is you can go through some of the book protocol, which is starting with dietary and lifestyle interventions and then things like probiotics and antimicrobials and for some people that will get them close to full remission, but not all the way there. Like you're describing, they'll still have some of these gut symptoms or joint symptoms or whatever symptoms kind of coming and going and that's exactly why one of the things you can next escalate to in the healthy, good, healthy protocol is the elemental diet. So I guess that's what you're kind of coming to next. Exactly. Yeah.  And so I did a bunch of a couple of three day fasts and they kind of got me there, but they didn't really got me there. And at the third day, I was always fishing for food out. It was really hard. Yeah. Then I bought the elemental heal and I was like, all right, I'll try this. But I'll try the fast first and later I'll do the elemental heal. I'll try to do like Rambo, just go all the way, you know, dive in. And then so I did the fast. And on the third day, I thought to myself, I'll keep on going. I'll just use the elemental heal to keep me going, you know, on the really hard, because the third and the fourth day are the hardest days. So I use from going from a strict water fast and then you started getting hungry and you put in place of the water, the elemental heal, essentially. Exactly. That's what I also a great point. And one of the concepts I discussed in the book, which is theoretically, if we could have you water fast for two weeks, that would probably be great for your gut. That's going to be hard to do from a compliance perspective. And most people I just don't think are robust enough to be able to handle a one or two week fast, which is what's so nice about having nutrients available in the elemental heal. It's about as close as you can get to a fast, because the ingredients absorb so quickly in the intestinal tract, but you don't have to go hypochloric and labor under that feeling tired and hungry and irritable and not sleeping well if you're trying to do a prolonged water fast. Exactly. And that's exactly what I did. I used the elemental heal to keep me going. And then the hardest days were the third and the fourth, as I was saying. And so I kind of cheated if you might call it that. And I put I used a little bit only at night. You know, I did two scoops of elemental heal and just drank it. It was delicious, especially when you're fasting. It's like heaven on earth. And so also I didn't I used it and I did the seven day water fast. I kept on going just with water after that. And all the issues went away. Of course, I didn't have any gut issues because I didn't go to the bathroom after a couple of days. Sure. And on the seventh day, I started with the heal again. So I prolonged it a little bit and started with the healing protocol to start, you know, bringing food into my into my system again. I started with the elemental heal and it worked perfectly. All the symptoms stayed away and the gut issues. That was the only thing that I'd had a little bit of a hard time getting back to when with with the elemental heal because it's liquid. So I didn't go to the bathroom every day. And I wasn't sure, but I just I just let it let it be whatever it was. But I felt wonderful. And then I kept after the three days of elemental heal of the protocol you suggest in the bottles. I started incorporating some easy to digest like organic chicken broth and and and, you know, easy to digest veggies and stuff. And, man, it's I can tell you my life before that and after that. It is it was a huge change after that. I used the the because I bought three elemental heal bottles. And so I had still had a lot of it. So I used it for intermittent fasting. Sure. You know, and so how are we using that? Were you sipping on an elemental he'll shake throughout the morning and then having lunch and dinner? Or no, I just skip dinner. Got you skipped dinner. OK. Yeah, I prefer to eat in morning. OK, yeah, everyone has a different application. And I mean, right, there's so many great things here. One I just want to kind of bookmark is the fact that you don't have to use the elemental heal according to a really rigid guideline. Sometimes people have a hard time with, well, I'm either going to use it for two full weeks to treat SIBO or if I'm not doing that, then how am I supposed to use it? And there's not necessarily a right way or a wrong way or a black and white box that you have to use it in. And so in your case, you know, the water fasting was something that intuitively felt like it was going to be a good therapy for you. You weren't able to fully do that on its own. So you added in the elemental heal as a way to help get you there, which is perfect. It's really listening to your body. It's personalizing the use to what seems to work for the individual. And then from there, you went into what I would call kind of the hybrid approach where you have some food and some elemental diet or, you know, right, using it in an intermittent fasting approach. And you're you use it at dinner. Some people use it in the morning, but just a great reminder that you can listen to your own body and let your intuition guide you a little bit. And as your perfect testimony to on the other side of that, you can experience significant healing, even if you didn't do it quite exactly as it's typically recommended to do. Right. Right. And one thing I want to add about it is that it gives you the opportunity because I think fasting or using heal in a prolonged way is a great opportunity to also go inside of yourself and deal with the cravings and deal with your emotional issues. And I think that's something I don't remember if you put it on your book or if I've seen it because I'm a big fan of your website and the interviews you give. But I think it's something that that it might help people out to to put their minds on the fact that the emotional issues are also treated when you do when you do that, all all the connections you have with your gut and your emotion and with your life and your health in general. You deal with that when when you do this kind of protocols. And it's for me, that was very intense and very powerful tool as well. So so it was great. Great. Well, awesome. So very, very happy to hear that. And glad that you found the book, found Elemental Heal. You've used this successfully. And so is it fair to say that your symptoms are pretty much all gone now? I mean, I don't expect you to feel perfect because I think perfect is sometimes this ideal that we strive for, but it can never fully reach. No one feels perfect, but not machines or humans. We have ups and downs, but I'm assuming, like you said, you alluded to there's kind of this night and day difference between then and now. So now joints are good, gut is good, sounds like emotionally you're feeling well. Right. My joints are good. The only thing that I still have an issue with is my knee, my right knee, but I had surgery because I had a trauma, a trauma there. So that has nothing to do with what we were talking about. And but then the rest, I'm feeling awesome. I'm feeling really, really good. Yeah. And are you still using it in kind of this intermittent fasting hybrid application, the Elemental Heal? No, I finished all the bottles I had and now I'm just doing the intermittent fasting with with just water at night, three times a week. And I I look better than ever naked. No, it's a plus. Yeah, but that's health, you know, so healthy is beautiful. So anyways, just doing the element and then the water intermittent fasting because I don't have the heel anymore. Great. Yeah. So one thing I'll just add in in terms of thoughts for the road forward. If at some point things feel like they might regress, which they may, they may not, but especially if you end up traveling or one of the things that people are traveling that they may go do a location wedding and they don't have control over their food or their lifestyle. They're not sleeping well. They're maybe celebrating drinking alcohol and they feel like their gut gets a little bit banged up from that sort of process. That's always when you can revisit a short course of a couple of days on the elemental heel, just as a touch up. So you probably have already gathered that from your prior experience and just learning from what's worked for you in the past, but just a little note to make there. All right. All right. Thank you very much. And do you recommend also using and I'm not using this as a personal appointment, but it's for everyone. Repeating the herbs to heal the gut after after a while. Like, is this a recurring thing as well or just or not really? Great question. It really depends on the individual. Some people will go through the gut healing protocol and they'll never look back and then some people will have to periodically revisit some of what worked well for them in the past. And there's no real right or wrong answer there. But what I encourage people to do is reflect on what they felt worked best for them in the protocol and then revisit that. So for some, for example, some people do very well in the probiotic protocol and they can revisit that for other people, the probiotic protocol may not have gotten them all the way there. They may have noticed the most cathartic changes when they did the antimicrobials or the elemental heel. And so I revisit what seemed to give you the most results, but you can also decrease the dose and the duration. So if just using arbitrary example here, if someone had to do two weeks exclusively on the elemental diet to finally get better and then they're feeling way better, but six months later, a year later, they feel like they've made regressed by 20 percent. You don't have to go to the full two weeks again if you've only regressed slightly. You might be able to get away with four days. So just listen to your body there. And at four days, you're feeling fantastic. Then you can transition back to food or kind of that mix and match hybrid approach where you have, let's say, four days exclusive and then you could do another four days where you're doing half food, half elemental heel and then slowly taper off as your body indicates. All right. All right. That's that's very intuitive and logical. But yeah, yeah, good, good. So this is recap your symptoms one more time. There was there was joint pain. Was there also fatigue or any? I don't want to say depression, but it sounds like your moods are better now. So I'm assuming maybe your moods weren't quite as bright. Well, I got to say the depression came when I got the the the results of the exams and I went to the actual doctor and they told me what I supposedly had. That's when the depression really kicked in. But before that, analyzing, I had joint pain. I had a fatigue. I had a lot of phlegm. I had got issues.  And that's that's the broad impact that irritation in the gut can have, because that that really, in my opinion, is one of the main seats of information for the whole body. And so what that sounds to me like you were experiencing this systemic inflammatory response, which can manifest dermatologically or in the eyes in the nasal cavity can also manifest rheumatologically in the joints. And it can even manifest with things neurologically. So, you know, this is this is a great example of how inflammation in the guts can really lead you a broad spectrum of global symptoms. And it can be it can be tempting to want to try to treat each one of those, you know, eye drops, your joints. So what we want is really getting to the root cause of the issues in the gut. And then we can see all these symptoms ameliorate. So fantastic, fantastic work. Really, really, thank you. And thank you so much for sharing your story with us. Sure. Thank you for doing everything that you're doing because you're helping. I'm using your book to help a bunch of people because I I'm a nutritionist now and I'm helping people go through stuff. And so I use your book a lot to to guide them and to help them out. So thank you as well. Awesome. Absolute pleasure. It makes me feel good about what I'm doing to hear that. So thank you. And for everyone at home, if you haven't tried the Elemental Heal, one option for you on your gut healing journey. All right. Thank you. Bye bye.


Welcome ladies and gentlemen, I will also welcome my panelist for the first panel discussion. So, this is the Web 2-2, Web 3. We are starting with... So, I begin with, you know, asking the very basic question on Web 3, you know. Why businesses should, you know, move from Web 2 to Web 3? Why it has become so necessary now? You want to... fine, fine, you can. I can go first. I don't think companies should move from Web 2 to Web 3. Think about the cases. If the company is operating at scale and whatever it is operating with has extremely high needs for trust and it has to be secured by several people saying the same... confirming the same state from everybody. That's probably when you should even explode considering building on a blockchain. I know now is a great time for everybody to think Web 3 is the future. We have to do everything on this. But from a computer science standpoint, a blockchain is a really slow database, right?  And if you need features of untappability and security in what you're doing consider moving from Web 2 to Web 3. Otherwise, Web 2 is far more efficient. I will suggest don't go down that rabbit hole. Sorry, that was a... that's how it is. You've spent a lot of time in this market and because of the hype around this, most people enter this space thinking that it's, you know, about... we can make quick money and, you know, we can, you know, build a very big company without really understanding what this brings to the table and whether it's even relevant to you. So I would say think about that before even, you know, getting to the place that we should move to it. We also have Tharun with us. Welcome, Tharun. Can't hear. Can you hear me now? Okay, we lost you. Fine. No problem. Thank you so much for having me and sorry for not making it.  We had different views from Rabu. If you had her, you know, what do you have to say? So I agree with Rabu completely. I think what happens with businesses is that, you know, sometimes you just go with the fact and you believe that this is a great thing to do without really understanding the complexity of what you're getting yourself into. Blockchain is a very hard and not easily scalable technology. You've got to be clear why you really want to bring in that level of transparency, that level of decentralization, that level of shared ownership and what it does to both you as a business but also all your other stakeholders and are they even, you know, conscious and aware and excited about what you're doing. So I think we started on this journey a while ago and I talked a little bit more on this but I completely echo what Rabu is saying that I think this should be very, very well thought through, understood and the impact on your own business as well as the other stakeholders because their level of education understanding and acceptability is very different from what, you know, a techie or a business person should be, should be wearing and don't get into it for the short term, right? So this whole scam making of, okay, blockchain token, let's make some money, let's do some ICO. You know, that needs to stop for this to become a long-term sustainable business. Yeah, thanks. Well, I completely resonate with what Rabu and Tarun did mention. Yes.  Yeah, or do both. Yeah, and tokenizing ICO as what Tarun mentioned, yes, people look at short term. Well, for me as a medical practitioner and serial entrepreneur in my health space, like what Raghu did mentioned, always keep doing Web 2. Yes, we've been as a hospital in Plexus. We've been doing this Web 2 based applications using these in our ecosystem, but now we've transformed it, added, you know, the concept of creating larger value to what we offer into our healthcare system. So that's why, you know, this weapon is helping me out. So we just started a higher month old bag. We started the first mid-hours experience center in a hospital and wow, that's the feedback which I've got. And the top chain is again, the one of the areas where we feel as medical practitioner is going to be a rain changer, building more trust to what Tarun did mention, but it is going to take a long time. It is a slow process. Adoption is an issue at this moment. So, you know, as a startup in earlier option of Web 3, I've got a wow, very bad factor from my own patients who've been, you know, I've been using these applications on my own patients. So the contentment is there. The value is miniscule, but long-term registering of that value will take a longer time. So, you know, that's my take on this Web 3 transition from Web 2 to Web 3. Keep continuing Web 2 as your frontline. But we need to adopt. We need to move on. We need to be a differentiated, disruptive Web 3 can be a tool to be disruptive, not today but tomorrow. I feel that as one of the, you know, approaches. I think I think that I'll answer your question. Jeremy, you? Yeah, maybe first of all, I just want to take a moment to also like introduce myself. I think this is actually my very first time in Bangalore. And also I'm very excited to be here. Thanks for having me to the entrepreneur India team. I myself, I'm actually with the GFR Fund team. We are an early stage venture fund doing digital media entertainment investments. Specifically, we did that as well. We look at consumer ventures, so both across Web 2 Web 3 spectrum, you know, we do investments and we do have portfolio companies across US, EU, and now progressively we're doing a lot more works across India. I think the one question which we'll be chatting about is an area that we're really excited about. So on the Web 3 side of things, two years, well, slightly over two years ago because, you know, every day in Web 3 feels like, you know, a month, right? And I think some of us in the audience see some smiles. So I'm sure you guys can relate to it. Web 3 moves very quickly. So I co-founded Monkey Dow, which is basically a committee owned and operated NFT Dow in this Langar blockchain. And, you know, that continues to be one of the, you know, slightly more active committee as, you know, we saw the NFT committees pretty much, it became a little bit more muted over the last couple of years or so. Anyhow, so I used to run an NFT marketplace as well as COO and we have a venture syndicate within the Dow. It's called Monkey Ventures and we only do Web 3 investments in that syndicate. So yeah, sort of going back to this question, in terms of like adopting Web 3, why businesses should consider that. I think a lot of the points mentioned by the panelists entirely make sense. I would just add one last pointer. The way that we're looking at Web 3 is that we are not looking at Web 3 from a value, sort of like unique value proposition, right? If you are running a business and you come out and say that, hey, my value proposition is that I have NFTs, I have Web 3, I have blockchain. Something could be, you know, fundamentally different or there could be an opportunity to switch it up a little bit because ideally what we want to have championed for is the idea that blockchain is a technology. It should be a technology enabled to help you sort of improve, you know, different inefficiencies in what you would see in a traditional business. Is there a way, is that really a need that you should implement Web 3 or whatnot? I think you probably should sort of like study out the full journey of your business and, you know, sort of fit it in from there and ask yourself, could this be a technology enabled? Because if it's not relevant for your business, maybe there's no need to jump right into Web 3 just yet. Thank you, Jeremy.  I mean, that's a fantastic question. The challenges are phenomenal adoption.  So, you know, well, I'm based on a bank loan but Gujarat, you know, tied-to city, business city, so technology is adoption is a challenge. But on my pilots, which we have learned is these people over there, that is my working colleagues are hungers for doing something very unique. So that's why I felt that, you know, educating my team to implement this in their ecosystem and then putting that, giving that tool of the Web 3 tool to my patients. So, it took early, you know, challenges, the VR headsets, then sitting on the computers, I mean, on the tabs, educating me about what exactly we are looking at and not the results part, but at least applying that. So it was a challenge but, you know, now people are asking me, I mean, made up a specific doc, give me more. What is something which I can, you know, you know, feel good about you. So as a value buyer to my healthcare system, so Medavas is helping me out.  At least for half an hour or one hour, give me more. So I feel there is a, you know, problem statement and then see the results. It is just a matter of time, just educating and just a matter of time.  Are they just value added or actual use cases? Actual, in Medavas, I mean, specific, there are few domains which we have test upon. One is empowering the patient. Number one, I mean, you, for example, as a patient, would you beforehand go online, search for the hospital, search for the doctor. And then you would love to see web-based hospital, how the rooms would look at, how the entire hospital will look at. So we've created a hospital in Medavas. So sitting in, you know, a patient comes in, in our experience and they would get the entire walkthrough of the hospital about the doctor, about his facility. My other would really educate him. So apprehension can be, you know, reduced. Knowledge about the hospital and the doctor is something which I am aiming to just come down. So this is patient-specific and disease-specific. For example, I mean, you want to know something about your cabbage surgery, bypass surgery. So the entire surgical video has been shown on a Medavas solution. So that registry of that information is more impactful than seeing it on a simple 2D model, and on the YouTube app. So that registry, I'm feeling it more, so building more trust. Patients are loving it. So this is on the patient, on the disease perspective.  And then skill mapping and development for my own medical team, for my doctors and for my paramedics. So I'm working on a project, you know, we're working on the content where I educate my junior cardiologists about the surgical procedures sitting remotely. So Medavas will really, you know, bridge this. And I get goosebumps, even the thought of it. We can have planned this about six months back. So there's a company in Delhi called Medavas 911. Rahul and Rohit are my, you know, co-partners in my ecosystem. So we've created an amazing application where, you know, a doctor will learn from this solution and imagine a small village where there's a surgical complication, a surgeon is not able to, you know, learn about the complex procedure. This is where the solution is. So adoption is going to be a challenge, but I don't see a challenge in healthcare perspective where, you know, we've been doing these pilots earlier. Like you said, AI solutions in five years back was a challenge. I mean, I have more than 50 villages where I have started AI clinics in rural Gujarat, a digital heart clinics in Gujarat. A patient is, a patient can see a cardiologist sitting in Antarctica or North Pole or whichever club. Telemedicine. So Medavas is going to bridge this. So my next study is going to be putting Medavas in a rural village. So the impact is phenomenal. So patients are definitely learning from the clinic space which I've started and now a new value added. And imagine a hospital, a doctor doing a procedure, viable operation. Okay, great, great.  That's an interesting question.  And, you know, one thing that we have noticed is that, you know, where three a lot of times is, as much as we hate to admit it, is an attention economy. So what that means is that, you know, sort of the attention and the hype sheets from one meta to another. Meta for, you know, sort of the rest of us as a reference, if we may not be so familiar, it's basically the coding, right, where everyone is looking at it, where everyone is spending time. So we've seen how things change from like NFT, DeFi, et cetera, et cetera. And at the end of the day, today we are like two or three years in after the initial pool run. A lot of things have started to calm down. The good thing is that consolidation has happened, right? Similar to any other technology. In the early days of VRAR, we've seen how many of the interesting applications come out. So today for web 3 specifically, you know, there will always be individuals who are working on interesting things like game, pie, and whatnot. But fundamentally, where we are looking at it from a funds perspective is how is this web 3 or blockchain technology, sorry, blockchain used as a technology enabler. So we always go back to that as like a guiding principle. And I think where there could be interesting opportunities is thinking about it from an infrastructure perspective. The good thing about infrastructures is that regardless of how you sort of like build it, you don't have to be betting on the attention economy, right? The infrastructures are in place because you help to facilitate different platforms, different protocols, different games, different titles and put them on whatever platform that they should be, facilitate them, give them the right tools that they need. So what this means is that you don't have to bet on the attention economy, right? It may not have to be dependent on the heat-driven cycle. Any sort of protocol that is successful, any partner that is successful, your infrastructures can benefit from it. So that is one of the many ways to think about it. Of course, other opportunities continue to exist. But where we as JR Power Fund sort of focus at least is looking at infrastructures and sort of coming up from the perspective of how can these be used to onboard the masses. This is my question to all the panelists. So what the future looks like for web 3 adoption and will partnership and collaboration play some turn? I want to hear you on this first. So I think the first people that you've got to partner with is your key stakeholders who are going to use your technology, right?  We're a community platform. We chose to adopt blockchain into our scheme of things only because we realized that communities find it easy to govern themselves through a transparent mechanism of the blockchain. But we need to be very careful on how we get our folks to adopt it, right? At this stage one, we make sure that all their efforts on the community platform were organized and there was clear transparency around either community who does what and how much. And they all clearly understood the efforts that are being put in by each one of them towards building the community. At this second level, we want to then take this data real-time onto the chain so that we can all then have access to that information real-time. And it's also tokenized for a long-term future listing or whatever they want to do as community members around what they've done in the value that they've created. So I think the entire process is driven by making sure that the partners first understand what they're doing. So at the first level, they know that their efforts are worth something. Then they know that their efforts are being measured. Then they know that collecting governance together can create value for the efforts that they've done. And it is up to them to be able to take that decision in a decentralized manner understanding what each of their voting powers are, each of their responsibilities are, each of their options are, and then building that value together. And so this entire process is actually in our head charted over almost three years because at the first level it's just community building and making sure that everybody's roles are defined and everybody's contributions are measured. Then it's about giving them a certain amount of decentralization in taking decisions together on the basis of those voting powers and the efforts they've taken. And then it's about deciding the way they want to monetize that effort, whether they want to allow people to be able to trade their ownership or whether they want to allow the entire law to be able to list themselves and do something worthwhile. And that all depends on each community's ability to create value. And there are about 7,000 communities on the platform. So it really, you know, we know that's, you know, about 5% of them will shine. They will end up building a lot more value. They could end up being really big. And then there will be some, you know, who will just use this as a web tool, loyalty token and possibly never get into really digitizing or doing something for themselves. But it's all decentralized. It's all up on them to be able to take that decision and move forward. What do you have from all of you, Raghu? On the future of web-free mass adoption and the role of partnerships and collaborations. Okay, I think I will take the first one. Well, I don't interface with the corporate world as much to figure out where partnerships and collaborations are. Of course, there have been experiments to do this. Most recent one that I heard was Pixar using renders crowd-sourced GPUs for, you know, processing a lot of their secondary and ancillary animations. I thought that that was a very interesting use case. Look, I think if you, I'm slight, and now the other side of 35, so I have seen two cycles of different technologies. So when Android and iOS was a thing, everybody wanted to talk about how mobility is the next big thing. When it did become the next big thing, everyone just kind of was new with that. It just kind of integrates yourself into your life. Cloud computing is another thing. Every service that we use, whether that's a Google Drive or Dropbox or whatever you use, it is on the cloud. Nobody talks about cloud computing anymore. If Web3 works, if this blockchain thing works, you wouldn't think of it as it's a blockchain thing. It's like completely hidden in the background. And then that's how it should be. It's actually a behind-the-scenes technology. There's not so much in front of the... So that's on the tech bit itself. The other part is tokenization. And I would strongly recommend to not villainize it as much as it has been done before. I still remember now, a lot of people come and say, what is a token useful for? Why do you buy these monkey-faced tokens? And I still remember somebody telling me who was part of the early Internet revolution, and they'd say that when we were talking about the Internet, that's how everyone looked at us and spoke to us about it. So every time there is something that's new, we are quick to shy away from it. No, it doesn't make sense to me with the world view that I have. And so I must hide away from it. But I truly think that tokenization is here. It's here. And I'll give you one example. USDC, which is US dollar a circuit, is a very, very regulated plate from the US that has increased the distribution of the dollar in no other way it still be. Everybody today has access to the US dollar if you have a cryptocurrency wallet, which was unheard of. I would say everyone keeps talking about Bitcoin and Ethereum is like the biggest thing for mass production. I'd say it's USDC. The USDC is insanely amazing and it is only possible because of tokenization. You need to have Ethereum. You need to have the security of Ethereum prove that the circulating supply of USDC corresponds to the total number of dollars that are sitting in your treasury. And that is absolutely necessary for it to happen. And as a business, USDC makes to the tune of $800 million a quarter. $800 million a quarter it makes it. And this is possible because Jeremy earlier was open to the idea of tokenization. And so I'd say yes, there is a lot of noise. Real permissionless space creates a lot of noise. But there is a lot of signal in there as well, which if you zone into it will become. So you will experience blockchain through Cryptocurrency. But the technology itself, you will have nothing to do with it. I'll just leave you with that one line that's Dan Romero from PaaPasta. PaaPasta is an alternative to Twitter that you can check out. It's a much nicer place. If you are like me who is just tired of the victory all on Twitter and you want to go to a slightly more possible place, go to PaaPasta. He calls it like it's a web 2. It's called the web 3 mullet. A mullet is basically a hairstyle which looks like a formal hairstyle in the front and like long hair and that. It was a big thing in the 80s. And so the web 3 mullet is basically a web 2 front end that it would not look any different from any of the apps that you guys are using right now. But a web 3 back end which actually uses the features of security, permissionlessness at the back. And that's how I would like the future of web 3 to run. Because if I knew that was the future I think I would be much richer than what I have learned. So that's my true sense. I just want to point out the funny thing he mentioned about the monkey dolphins. Because I'm a big fan of monkey dolphins. If you are interested you can have a conversation after this. I think one thing that I just wanted to point out is that everything that was mentioned completely makes sense. But I think one thing that is really unique when you look at web 3 and web 2 is that moving forward as you go over the next couple of months, years, web 3 and web 2 will converge. What does success look like for us as an industry? Success for us as an industry is successful when we no longer have to use the word web 3 and web 2. Think about the uniqueness of web 3 and web 2 right? And how can we harness the uniqueness of web 3 into web 2 businesses? And I sort of like encourage or rather implore all of us to think about this on the further scale in there. Which is the fact that web 3 has really highlighted the value of community at a moment. Organization and whatnot. Blockchain allows us to organize communities at scale. Is this something unique? Not really. Because if you think about it, interest groups and whatnot, they used to exist since years ago. Individuals who like sports car, whatever they had to congregate anyway. So are all these communities actually unique or like in changing? Not really. But what is really special about it is the ability to organize individuals, groups, globally at scale. So if you think about this and maybe explore different ways that you can harness a web 2 business with that element of community incentivization, that can go a long way. Because what that allows you to achieve is an organic flywheel. An organic flywheel where the marathon is no longer about less response. Let's pump all the money into user acquisition and hope that it sticks. When you have an organic flywheel, things are easier and you have natural ambassadors. So I think that is like the biggest value add of web 3 as a whole. As we have seen how it has translated. And you can be a dust. I completely agree with what you said. Well, future. I see a greater future of web 3 blockchain in healthcare. I mean right from pharmaceutical to value add for patients, doctors. And yes, as a maker practitioner, I see collaboration as one of the key. And a disruptive collaboration would definitely bring in amazing results both financially and as well as creating a larger value in going with the latest advancement in web 3. So I summarize, yes, this is the future. And meeting an earlier doctor using this web 3. And the next is approach of my company is going to be on blockchain web. We are going to do a pilot on healthcare related insurance related.  And it's a gap between the patient and the doctor. So I see amazing results ahead. Thank you. We are running late.  Thank you.


You do not have to have tons of good ideas in this business, you just have a good idea that's worth a ton occasionally, and it would mean smaller stocks, because we would find things that could have an impact on a small portfolio that will have no impact on a portfolio the size of Berkshire.
