Ang karunungan ay kapang yarihan. Now let's put that power to the test. It's time for... K-Check! Hello everyone, I am OJ Sir Kinya. At ako naman si Cayenne Arceo and this is K-Check, the newest and smartest game show on Philippine television. Research all over the country for people na hindi nagsasawang dangdagan ang kanilang kaalaman. For several weeks, titignan natin kung gaano ka't hindi ang brain power nila. And in the final week of competition, malalaman natin kung sino ang kauna-unahang tatanghaling K-Check Champion. Apat na contestants ang dadaan sa ating karunungan check sa araw na ito. Our first contestant is Dina. She was an IT for Dep Ed who lists volleyball and mobile legends as her hobbies. Our second contestant is Jojo. He is a freelance talent agent and though he loves being on a set or in casting, he says he can work in any field. Our next contestant is Charles.  And finally, Gio. Gio worked as a nurse in a tertiary hospital during the pandemic, but now he is busy being in a band and says he has calignophobia. Our four contestants will be competing under the watchful eye of today's K-Check panel of experts. First is Professor Anriel Tiatco, Chairperson of the Department of Speech Communication and Theater Arts, U.P. Dilliman. Next, we have Professor Marion Rocket of the Institute of Mathematics, U.P. Dilliman. And we have Professor Neil Santillian, Chairperson of the Department of History, U.P. Dilliman. Welcome, everyone. Direction na tayo sa competition. Contestants, papasok na tayo sa K-Check Paramihan where each correct answer is worth 10 points. This is your chance to bank as many points as you can and take the all-important early lead. Let's begin. Dina, how many sides does a rectangle have? Three. Malit. Four. Jojo, in what month of the year did the 9-11 attack in the U.S. happen in 2001? July. Malit. September. Charles.

Parang may kabapa sa ating mga contestants. Kaya, para ma-solutionan yan, mag-guting tanongin natin ang ating panel of experts. Nako, in particular, pakiramdam ko may gustong itanong si Professor Marian. Bakit ako? Pero mukang takot pa si Dina at Jojo na sumagot ha? Pero ang iba naman, nagugulat sila pag nangakasagot sila, especially si Gio parang, ah, masugot ko yun? Parang ganoon. Pero, interesting si Gio kasi nurse siya, pero nag-write nang songs niya mula, seven years old now, at ngayon ay nasa-bang at marami kantalihan, pero meron kang college enophobia, the new word for the day. Ano ba yung college enophobia? Bakit ka may ganon? Phobia is a bit embarrassing. But for the benefit of the people who doesn't know my phobia, it's fear to beautiful girls. Takot ka ba ngayon? Actually, I get palpitations. I turn, my face turns red whenever I see beautiful ladies. Pero sa score ni Gio ngayon, isa siya sa leading. So parang wala ka bang kinatakutan sa set natin ngayon? But anyway, ang score ni Gio at ni Charles ay parehong 20, so nakatig dalawang tamang sagot sila at si Dina at si Jojo naman ay pwede-pwede pang humabol. Kayo, nakailang sagot ba kayo? So ready na ba kayo? Para sa susunod na round, ang pabilisan round. Next, here on... K-check! Suloy pa rin ang ating karunungan check. Let's revisit the scores before we proceed to the next stage. Charles and Gio are in the lead with 20 points each. Dina and Jojo, habul kayo. Gusto kong kausapin ng ating mga contestants. Let me begin with Dina. Dina, isakagaw sports enthusiasts. Pero hindi lang normal sports kundi pati esports. Maari mo bang ipaliwanag sa amin ko anong ibig sabihin ang esports na iyong kinahumalingan na yan? Parap sa yung esports, any age of people pwede pang maglaro ng mobile games. Right. So kahit anong age pala, so hindi lang yung mga anak ko ang naglalaro ng... ang pwede yung maglaro ng esports pwede rin nila kung turuan. That's right, Kael. At muka mapapasabak ako after nang ating shoot. Nalaruin ang mga esports na kinahuhumalingan ng mga bata ngayon. Charles, narinig ko na mahilig ka rin maglaro at mahilig ka rin sa mga challenges. Could you tell me more about these games and challenges that you're into right now? Yon, like what Dina said, we're also into esports, but she does mobile games, but I do PC games as well. And in challenges naman, the reason why I love challenges in games is because it improves for what skill that I want to improve and it improves my personality as well. Thank you, Charles. So mahilig ka sa challenges. Baka asa kaling hindi nang ikaw ang mag-improve ang score kung di lahat kayo dito sa susunod na round. Baka may gusto pang itanong ang ating panelists na si Prof Unreal. Napaka interesting nito ang groupong ito. Mahilig maglaro, pero sana hindi puso ang mga nilalapang pinyo, echos lang. Okay, siguro ang masasabi ko lang ay ipakpatuloy natin ang sportsmanship sa pagsagot ng mga tanong. Yon lang. Tama, si Prof Unreal. Thank you very much po. Now we will go to the K-check where you will have to buzz in first to earn the right to answer the question.

I am impressed with some of them but I am particularly interested in Jojo's performance. Jojo, nahirapan ka ba doon sa round na iyon? At paano kaya mga apply ang sinasabi mo sa amin na flexibility mo sa iyong standing sa ating K-check show ngayong araw. Actually po doon sa mga sangit ko, siguro nagulat nandin na po na inaulon mo ba sa baby girl na answers. And then doon din naman sa flexibility po ibig po sabihin noon kagaya ko po as a person kung saan nang po ako dahil ng failed, I can adapt agad po sa mga kagaya po sa sa ating likeness po ng isang casting na agent, i-mentalent agent, kung ano po binigayin ng director na naku-kuwako po agad para po din po sa makabilis na proses na ng reduction. So magaling si Jojo makakat. So madali rin siguro siyang makakakahon sa kanyang score ngayon. Tama ka dyan, prokkayan. But I would like to ask sir Neil regarding Jojo's answer about flexibility and maybe his performance in our show. Diin ko si Jojo nini-mervious lang siya sa dalawang rounds, kaya pang kumabul sa susunod na ground. Kung flexibility kailangan, iflex mo yung brain power sa ultimate pagalingan round. Right. Maraming salamat, prof. Neil at kailangan talagang pan natin pa ni Jojo at nang iba natin mga contestants ang kanilang brain power para makahabul sa ating round. Kayang kaya pa nila yan, meron pang isang round pagkatapos nito. Right. Kayang tigda natin ang mga scores ng ating contestants. Gino is in the lead with 80 points followed by Charles with 70 points. Dina, habul ka pa. Jojo, habul ka din. And with the scoring in the next round, kayang kaya pa nila ang kumabul. Talagang hindi pa natin malalaman kung sino ang mananalo sa labanang ito until we get to our ultimate pagalingan round. And that is up next. Here on, K-check. K-check. Sitahin natin ulit ang scores. So in the lead we have Gio with 80 points. Following closely behind is Charles with 70 points. Dina, pwede kapang makaron ang points. At si Jojo, pwede pwede paren kahit negative 20 ang iyong standing sa ngayon. Kayang will find out kung sino makakahabul sa ating final round as we proceed to K-check ultimate pagalingan. In this round, correct answers are worth 30 points and wrong answers get a 15-point deduction. At dadagangin natin ang pressure sa ating mga contestants dahil in this round mula sa ating professors sa panel of experts mangagaling ang mga tanong. At the end of this round, malalaman natin kung sino ang tatanghalin K-check daily winner. Contestants? Let's begin! Professor Andrew, may we have your question, please? Okay. So ito, unang tanong.

What do you think? I know this was here. This is not an STI. Well, it Kite it halfway. We're halfway there. I Don't think this thing has heated seats, but yeah, this is This is useless But now I think this is much better than what it was because it matches this now and these knobs I Don't know about this Not sure this is for someone with small hands could be I don't know. I Still got to pull this down some more Okay, much better there, but still I don't know how to position this leather. I don't remember how it is in my car The O6 STI, I think it's something like this Yeah, we're gonna need a different Knob for regular people I don't even know what this is Okay inside done. Hey guys, welcome to another 11 WRX 5 speed to 6 speed swap Did I say swap I meant swap a New engine, you know rear diff suspension all that stuff All right, so we're back. I have no idea what I said before on the last video We're supposed to do the clutch And the flywheel, but we didn't have the flywheel So we got the flywheel now Actually, we had the flywheel and then I realized I don't have the bolts So now I have the flywheel and the bolts and the engine mounts and the nuts for the engine mounts the flange for the Rear diff so the drive shift can actually bolt to this So that's yeah, that's got that. You got the different bolts these bolts are for the pressure plate That's the part number in case you're wondering eight zero zero five zero eight three one ten Then these guys I believe What the hell were these? these balls for the Engine mounts for this here. These are brand new group and These are group and I think You hear the two nuts So these go to the block but that's that's later and Then you have yeah, then you have these bolts for those engine mounts. Yeah, these are the nuts I think or these are whatever just telling you know here in case you're wondering. That's the part number for that that's the part number for that and Here's the part number for that I think yeah these got to be The flywheel bolts there's eight of them And here is the lightweight flywheel. I don't know how much this weighs maybe 13 maybe 15 pounds Got the pilot bearing. We're gonna install that today. We have some pins for the pressure plate and Yeah And obviously there's the clutch so let's start with the pilot bearing you can use we're gonna knock this in there So you can use a socket as long as it's bigger than the pilot bearing you want to stop on the flywheel where I'm gonna do use is this got a set of Bearing race and seal driver set I'm just not gonna use the bolt to hold that on make sure it's straight on a hard surface One more and that's it. It's always flush With the surface of the flywheel, okay the bearing You can see how it looks in the back here See So this The back of the crankshaft will go inside there So now it's actually ready to well, you got to clean it still and I like to clean the whole thing because As you use your clutch You know clutch material will be all over here. So to avoid sticking the the powder like clutch stuff Dust You know dusty stuff. I always clean this off just to you know avoid the dust sticking to the flywheel and just Building up because it's gonna build up guys. Okay, especially on the block in these holes It can get everywhere There is dust after all. So what I'm gonna gonna do now is Put it on come on now. Okay one bolt for now just to hold it there I'm gonna finish Wiping it down. Now. This is the most important part. That's got to be Spotless you may ask yourself why should have just sprayed the whole thing Actually, that's what I'm gonna do So I'm gonna remember that the bottom one is the one that's just holding that in I'm gonna use red Lock tight got to use red lock tight.  Actually forgot what the torque specs are For two seconds Forget this one doesn't have lock tight Okay, guys. So now the bolt torque is fifty five point three Okay, make room. I'm gonna hold the crank shaft pulley bolt 22 mil socket I'm gonna hold it in the back there or I should say in the front and We're gonna tighten these up actually just rest on the ground There you go. Okay. Now it's touching the ground the breaker bars Touching the ground. So now I'm just gonna do it. I'm gonna do a Cross pattern Start anywhere you want I like to do There's a lot of bolts. I like to do a two-step You don't get it tight Doing like a 30 35 right now. Okay, so we're just gonna start on the bottom one and go 55.3 is the engine Moving I think it is okay now The one straight across it and so on the second one right? Yep Rechecking And we're good that's it For the flywheel now, I'm gonna throw in these little Pins the clutch people provided Or was it the flywheel people? I don't know these pins go Right in here one two three Probably should have put these on when the fly was on the floor. All right guys when you handle the clutch plate Make sure your hands are clean You make sure you put it the right way so or avoid touching the actual You know the disc Right is what I'm saying so you can put it here or on here I'm gonna try and match the pins I think this can go three ways. I believe Yeah Actually, I'm gonna get the tool this one's broken Okay, so basically a little Stunt is going into the Pile bearing look at the pins. There's one should have just put the clutch plate in First the disc Okay, it looks like we're in Now it's up to you if you want to use blue Lactite or not these do have black washers So any glue is not really necessary some guys will tell you to use at least blue glue All right, so you get the idea the torque on these is 11.8 foot pounds of torque. So we'll be back After this is time And again same pattern just want to go across one two three four five and so on Yeah, make sure once you finger tight These more or less that this tool comes out Okay, so it looks like we're good. I'm gonna leave that in there and I'm gonna grab a a ratchet Okay, I'm not gonna use the drill for this And I'm gonna tighten it by hand Because if you go With the the power tool too much you can bend The pressure plate if you know keep on tightening one or two you want to go what I do is I keep going around and around until kind of you know slightly too hard for me to Until it gets tight basically and I move on to the next one Okay Because you're trying you're pushing the plate through the pins You see this one this guy is barely sticking out and it's gotta stick out the the guide pins have to stick out and you can see it's gotta be touching the The flywheel I'll show you the gap right now See how far we still got to go That's quite a bit there. Okay, so yeah just going around I mean you could probably set up your Power tool drill whatever you got to a low setting or you know weak setting whatever You've got and just go like that keep going around Some guys see if I went I went across right up for bottom bolt upper bolt bottom bolt again This was tight not a little bit, but it's just you're kind of wasting your time. So you want to go Around that's the quickest way And grab the ratchet here not by the handle so you have less torque in your hand tighten it Too fast if you know what I mean This is gonna take time. Keep going around then until I get You know the right reading on every bolt because again, you're you're tightening up a big plate So chances are like you can see here right now That Now you tighten all the bolts Chances are that Let's say I'm gonna tighten this one Well, you know like I just did right now and you can see that the as the plate the other bolts The second the third and so on not the first Tighten the plate more the one will become loose So just keep going around Until you get your 11.8 or 12 whatever all around Go slow. Okay. The faster you yank on the torque wrench The the more off you're gonna you're going to be and we're good Okay, now you can pull this out and that's it you can see how far These pins are sticking out. Okay, and we're nice and Tight I was gonna say the back of the engine is done, but it's not What I'm gonna do now is I'm gonna change out these factory evil clamps These two this is for your coolant and I'm just gonna use the You know screw on house clamps. All right guys, so now This is the second I did so many engines I don't know for how many years and I just bought this Last time I was on the engine on something I can't remember. I've never used it on so in a Subaru this kind I'm afraid You know this hoist doesn't go up very high. It is on the last setting which is the lightest Setting which is a quarter of a ton which is okay for this engine. It's very light But I don't have enough lift clear Top of the grill here So it's mounted Let's go up This is high All right I'll be second do this or this And I'm going to install the engine mounts spider webs already These start down to thirty point nine these nuts that thing stripped wasn't out in the hole. Oh wait It's stripped. This is unbelievable Actually It's not stripped. It's been Threaded for a bigger bolt Just my husband always something. Okay. I'm gonna figure this out and we'll be right back. You got updates So this guy well at some point it was stripped It's a very coarse thread. I mean obviously it worked because you know, it's threaded and In the block came from somewhere. So the original 14 mil bolt should be a 10 one two five Okay This is a 10 By one two five This is how I know because it says 10 but by one two five the new guy is a 12 one seven five look at the difference and look at the thread way course Okay What I was thinking I was gonna do is Take a helicole one size old or actually it's two sizes over this would be a 12 one two five which is This guy here. This is before I knew What that thread exactly is So you can see it's a one two five, right? It's 12. The problem is this is that's already a 12 With a thread already. So if you do helicole's you know You got to start fresh. I don't want to be going 14 by One two five because that would there's enough of meat around But I will be pointless just to change the thread right the size would be still bigger Unless they made helicole's That comes down to size or four sizes down So that's not an option so the helicole is not an option Goodbye helicole and these were great. Don't get me wrong. I would love to use a helicole and come back to the proper size But the hole is too big Okay, so So but you know now I know what size this is 12 by 1 7 by 1.7. So now I have to make a trip to the hardware store Which is not gonna happen today because it's late and another day Another Delay This is not closing. Okay Another day another delay Extra bolt. Yes But I guess the good news is I only need a bolt.   I don't okay That cheap old harbor fray hoist I've had it for 15 years still going strong But it's only well, there's no luck. Okay, is what I'm saying. So just just put it put it down Okay, hopefully I can get the 12 by 1.7 and continue tomorrow See you tomorrow soon In a split second. Hey Only 10 seconds went by I should show you something as I just noticed Here we have a guide pin on the engine So this would be the driver's side and we got a guide pin on the transmission, which is a driver's side So I'm gonna move this pin and Put it on this side just a little something I've noticed and I'm gonna grease them up grease your guide pins guys grease your Guide pins now. It's a 19 same grade 8.8 Actually slightly better by by point eight. I did a few things off-camera. Yes, I did. Well, I moved that pin wasn't easy Move this pin From here to here basically took vice grips squeeze them freed up the pin took a screwdriver in between the transmission and Vice grip and just slightly, you know more while moving it drove it out had to clean it up because I kind of slightly slightly Damaged it, but you know sandpaper took care of that clean the inside of The pin holes in the transmission. I'm gonna put anti-seize on the on each pin this one and the one on the black I Have to raise the transmission Slightly well actually probably all the way up all the way up to the tunnel there. I May yeah, I did put this back on. I'm gonna have to remove the oh, no, it's not okay It's just there to hold on to the transmission. Okay, so I'm gonna have to remove the pitch mount there So I can actually raise the transmission the throat bearing is just gonna pop in lock in into this pressure plate Mechanism thing whatever This lip here, so you got to make sure once the engine is in you you want to move the fork and Pop that baby in then just make sure it's locked. You know stays in there. This is all done basically here All right, so guess I'll install the motor mount slash engine mount and Then you're gonna see me struggle Finally put this thing in after Seven seven months this thing has been here for seven months


In Western culture, approaches to teaching and learning have shifted over time. While it's not a very tidy timeline, in very broad terms compulsory and universal public education was largely a product of the industrial age. Prior to that, education was largely reserved for the privileged, nobility, wealthy landowners and clergy for instance. But new technology, the printing press, trains, electricity and so on meant that more people had access to knowledge and also that people needed new kinds of knowledge and skills. So new approaches to education developed in response. What we often refer to as traditional mass schooling was designed to prepare people to take their places in this new society. This approach to education aimed to produce compliant and punctual workers. The teacher was the sage on the stage, the holder of the knowledge and the ultimate authority figure. Students were viewed as empty vessels waiting to be filled with knowledge. Certain knowledge, of course, not of their own choosing. The physical environment was one of hierarchy and control. Desks in rows, children facing their teacher who controlled subject matter, talk and activities from the front of the room. The focus was on rote learning and correctly recalling information. Across time this has shifted mercifully. That's not to say that teacher directed learning episodes don't have their place. Indeed they do. Nor is it to say that the chalk and talk model is extinct or always undesirable because it isn't. But we no longer live in an industrial age. 21st century life is very different and it isn't effective to keep on trying to pump out students like a production line. We live in what is sometimes called the information or digital age. The kinds of skills that students need if they are to thrive in this contemporary world are quite different from the past. I'm not simply referring to the kinds of skills we associate with digital technology although of course technology has contributed significantly to the changed educational landscape we now occupy. As a result approaches to education have shifted from a teacher or knowledge centered approach to a student or learner centered approach. The contemporary pedagogical frameworks such as constructivism encourage learners to construct their own knowledge individually and collaboratively by making connections with prior knowledge and experiences. We might even say that in the past surface learning was sufficient memorising facts, selecting the correct answer and so on. But to be equipped for today's world surface learning is not enough. Today's facts may not be facts next year. Today's skills may be obsolete within a decade. The kind of approaches associated with deep learning approaches that develop higher order skills encourage critical thinking and the capacity to be agile, flexible and adaptable These skills are not optional or reserved for a small percentage of learners. They are critical for all students. Now teachers know this and I think want to be the kind of teachers who design learning experiences that equip learners with these skills. But of course the question is how?


The widespread prevalence of diabetes is due to impairment of insulin secretion and insulin resistance. This can be treated with glucagon like Peptid-1, GLP-1, which stimulates insulin secretion from beta cells. Recently, prolonged activation of the GLP-1 signal has been shown to reduce diabetes in both animal and human subjects. Coffee polyphenol extract, CPE, has also been found to lower diabetes risk, suggesting that CPE could potentially stimulate GLP-1 secretion. In this study, CPE was found to increase GLP-1 secretion in human enteroendocrine NCI H716 cells, as well as in mice. Additionally, CPE increased intracellular cyclic AMP, CAMP, levels, that this was not mediated through G-protein coupled receptor 119, GPR119. Oral administration of CPE also increased diet-induced active GLP-1 secretion and decreased post-prandial hypoglycemia, indicating that higher GLP-1 levels after being.

So we have a massive black Friday sale in the terms of like dude I know we never thought we ever gonna do this would never thought we'd let it do a free trial basis But then we decided to do it Alex says let's do it and the reason we're doing this is because of this Too many people do not know the difference between M.I.C. anybody else. They Automatically assume that every service is the same They assume that everybody's just pumping and dumping no one's teaching almost educating and so they there's two types of people There's ones are just chasing the cheapest room out there. Oh, do you have a black Friday sale? How much percent off? Is it 90% off? I'll join it was a dollar a day. I mean, okay. I mean Would you would you go and live in an apartment? It was a dollar a day.   I gave you it's 25 cents So you get what you pay for guys like education, right? It's like you want to learn how to make doctor wages or you're gonna be learning from some guy on the street that's injecting people with Tire and silicone to make their booty bigger to be your doctor Or you're gonna go to Harvard or Stanford and learn how to become a medical professional You're trying to become a day trader to make as much as a doctor or even more than a doctor Alex made 50 something thousand today in the first hour guys.      I'm ready to teach.  Well, guess what dude?  That's your rent money, right?  You can't put it in the rent You know, so you can't just like okay take a two thousand dollars and then Be okay about it and then let's keep going trading and that's what we call revenge trading Okay, and we're opening up the room to show you how the Real traders trade. I'm not joking every trader has risk management. If your guru Furu is not Managing their risk. They are not a real trader. They trade for themselves.  It may work for them. I'm not bashing them. What I'm bashing is this guys.  We only have a few slots left guys We were opening the room for three three days for you three days This is your opportunity come in if you take a look at the watch list Alex woke up today. Jeez. What times you wake up Alex?   I'm not joking.  We have max loss rules. They call it Training wheels.   You don't even know they have money They don't want stress. This is a job when I when I started trading I wanted action when I was a beginner guys.  It's so exciting. I was up and down But you know as I got older and more mature I call this trader maturity guys It's not about how how much you make in a day Is how much you make it With the least amount of risk with the least amount of stress in the least amount of time possible Because at this level man, there's really no difference between making a few thousand dollars more It's not going to change my life. It's not going to change Alex's life But if we do it with no risk and we can continue on the rest of our day like we're done Alex is done One hour a day low risk There's a famous quote guys that I coined Remember this quote you only need to get rich once I want to say it again.  Oh, man I was up a million dollars and then I lost it and it made it back lost it.    It doesn't have to be flashy But I am going to win at the end of the day.   Or you trading treating as a business if you treat this as a business Would you be doing and risking what you're risking? Ask yourself that to be honest. Would you do this in your day job? It's like, oh in your day job.  Or would you be prepared come there super early? Super come there super early and be prepared and take no risk.  They make money for themselves. Good. Good job I'm happy for them. The point is this is not bashing anybody. It's bashing the education that's out there So all you guys are watching this right now guys We opened it for the three day trial. Okay.  You'll you'll see You we want to teach you to become a self-sufficient trader We don't post we don't pump what we do is we give you a watch list That is pretty much our alert, but the alert is actually a guideline. It's a trading guideline And we trade right off that we haven't last night Alex posted a video for all the mic to watch On how to trade these sector plays How to look for the head of the snake How to know when it's time to short Because these sectors plays they were driven by a what we call the head of a snake the mother Okay, who spawns out all the sympathy plays when the mother Play dies, which is the main play because what happens is the main play gets pumped up And people miss the main play because it's $75 a share The original main play was tesla dude. It's too expensive tesla. So then the ev sector had blink Then it had xpev things like that and then all these other stocks right that came as cheaper So you miss any of those you go for the cheaper one And so let me call those sympathy plays And the easiest trades are usually the ones just shorting off the sympathy plays But it's fine. You can short whatever you want, but the key is to understand this process And one of our moderators aloha trader austin.    I don't want to be number one. I just want to be number three You know that that's what it is. So You keep it safe because the end date dude. I don't really need to be the hero You know, you want to be heroes? Okay, so What I want to do is this okay So we have that and then one more thing guys. We're having a on my twitter.  I saw someone do this and then I was like, okay So we're giving away $500 $100 to five people If they just started following us and tagged their friends because we want to grow organically through friends of friends And so that's why I just did that as an experiment So you follow thing you have your friend follow us on Instagram and and follow us on youtube And then so the winner is going to be announced tomorrow at 2 p.m. Market time during tosh is webinar So every so we have a schedule at m i c monday alex does the instagram lot. I mean the youtube live Tuesday I do this the ig live Tuesday at night joe kelly does a large cap Webinar for members. So there's a large cap webinar tonight guys So join as a free trial and you'll see the webinar Tomorrow actually tonight too. I think alex is doing a webinar for the new people too So we have basically webinars every day guys And this is you know, this is the education we provide you. It's not just pumping it up during the market, right? So tomorrow during tosh's webinar Tosh you can type more information and I'll tweet it out as well So follow that we're gonna pick five people at random to win a hundred dollars each for fun.   I know there's gurus in our chat room learning All our process because they're using the same term that they're not using so we won't mention but hey I am we are agnostic.    So we just I just give three days free trial So what i'm gonna do is this i'm gonna bring alex on real quick Hey alex raise your hand and then alex will talk about his trade today Yo Yo, how's the beard look too much? Dude, i'm growing mine out for that.  That's why I did And I don't know I guess you're by three months, bro I don't know bro. Let's see. I was gonna also talk about something you mentioned that I posted the videos yesterday So for those that see yesterday at 7 20, I posted two videos how to trade sector plays And uh first red day on sympathy plays and if you just watched those two videos that I posted today You would have nailed every single trade that came our way So quickly tell them like what was your process today without giving the secret sauce because you join this join it You'll see this video guys. Yeah, it's a no-brainer literally you join with the uh black friday trial and you get to see those videos as well Uh, but basically yeah, so this is what happened, right? So Historically every november we get some crazy runners. You know, we have the shipper stocks. We had the korotavirus stocks we had the bitcoin stocks and You know, it just so happened this year was the electric vehicle stocks because of tesla and You know, a lot of these stocks caught a lot of people off guard because shorts have had it pretty easily like lately Stocks go up and they come right back down and a lot of new traders that are entering the market for the first time this year Don't really know what it's like to be trading a sector play these stocks literally go from 5 to 20 Or 2 to 50 or like uh expo went to 75 dollars Like these stocks are crazy, right and a lot of people they just short and short and short because In the past revenge trading and adding to a loser paid out for them And all those amateur guys that had no process that were not an m i c that they're know what they were doing They probably blew up during the sector play they blew up before it all came back Right and the problem is that people are lacking education. They don't know What they don't know, right? So a lot of people today killed it. It was a really good day, but this is what happened So the way it works is there's usually a head of the snake that we talk about, right? And the head of the snake this time was xpev So basically all we waited to do was we waited for xpev to go red and tank, right? When that happened all these other sympathy plays like fcel dpw blnk solo All the bids just disappeared, right? They all just disappeared and now if you kind of look at the chart of xpev Fucker went back green during zombie times At 1030 it went back green So we're higher what price is that now? It's a 73 85 So once again another relax. What time do they start bouncing? 10 30 on the dot so a lot of people they laughed at us when we talked about the zombie rule when we first started They said these guys don't know what they're talking about they're a joke This and that now you see people with the undead hours You see people with the 10 a.m. Rule you see people with a 10 15 rule So I mean these these rules that we kind of created at my c Obviously they sound obscure so that we know who's copying us But the truth of the matter is the only way with that we learn these rules is by losing, right?  There's so much more money. There's so much more money. Let's go short. Let's go short Let's agree because we're up.  You have cushion Exactly we start playing the cushion game with ourselves and then what happens xpev bounces back green Blink bounces back to 30 Fcel bounces back to nine bucks and you would have been dead you would have lost all your money So after doing this for hundreds of times probably we finally created a process around it For ourselves and that rule that one rule that took us years and six figures worth of losses to learn Is my number one rule right now? So i'm up 57 58 thousand I'm done for the day even though these look really exciting to short again I know that my process tells me i'm probably going to lose money with it, right? So today was a day where we waited for the head of the snake tank We shorted the sympathy plays Usually when they went red or when they broke their trend And here we are you know 11 30 in the morning just Basically done for the day if I want right now i'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to help the members out I'm going to maybe get a steak for myself, but this is the freedom that trading allows us to get I'm actually doing this stairs because the gym is closed. I'm just walking up and down the stairs Exactly so think about it bow is what what time is there probably like eight o'clock or seven o'clock in the morning right there And he's done with his day before people are even waking up to work And this is why trading is so important guys It is not meant to be this full time eight hour a day thing It is there to supplement your income and trade for one hour a day People see them like like we said man being a full-time trader does not mean you trade all the time Yeah, man. Yeah, you don't need to if you sit around this is how we're going to lose i'm telling you right now Okay, take a look at my twitter today.  They will die When it dies, you know, that's the thing today was the easiest trades today because now the momentum has shifted Now that doesn't mean that these stocks are going to tank forever But the easy money on these sector plays is now over I'm not going to be messing around with this shit I don't want to screw around because now what's going to happen is the volume is going to shrink And the algos are going to come take over it again if they really want to I'm going to be focused elsewhere Like stocks like spi and optt if you look at spi and optt these are non electric vehicle companies And they were the easiest ones to fade today because everyone else was focused on the electric vehicle companies So while all the amateur people continue to focus on the electric vehicle companies tomorrow Bow and I are going to be looking for the other stocks that people don't really care about and this is our process guys This is what we focus on. This is what we do every single day And this is what members are able to replicate today. James had is james one of our moderators, right? So James joined m i c on day one After six months of being in m i c we promoted him to a moderator After a year and a half of being in m i c he bought his dream car, which was an i8 And today he had his biggest career day ever at $14,000 in one day And he's not going to brag about it. He only told me about it but I just want to kind of get him excited because This is something he is a homegrown m i c success story, right? And the last sector play that we had was coronavirus We were on the phone for literally 12 hours during the coronavirus crash And that gave him the practice to be able to attack the next sector play Which was the electric vehicle companies guys and this is the type of mentorship that we give at m i c This is why I think that you guys should compare us to anyone else because you don't know what you're missing out on right Show him the show him the tweet. He says he you know, this is this is the key. He kept his losses small until now Let me show that this is this is what we see. So yesterday yesterday james lost 300 bucks, right?   If you're losing money Check us out. You have literally no reason not to take advantage of this free trial guys Only arrogance. That's the reason I mean arrogance is what's going to lead to them blowing up their accounts, right? I mean, it's it's not a problem to us the more uneducated money there is the more money we make from trading, right? That's just how it works It is smart money taking the money out of the pockets of dumb money So today on the first red day setup, there was probably a lot of inexperienced longs that got Stuck that bought the dip that got trapped Meanwhile, we were the ones shorting it because we have a process We have a strategy that is repeatable that works And you know what man today as good as 50,000 or 58 thousand dollar sounds I mean, honestly, it's just i'm so desensitized to it that it doesn't really matter tomorrow's just a new day My friend is hey Alex. Why are you doing this? I this is I would tell you what happened when you make that When you made that you're like, why didn't I make a hundred grand?   So so that's that's a problem guys. You will never be happy never You know that day I made 1.5 million.       I'm part of xyz. I have a question for you Why don't you just ask the guy that you're paying instead? They come to us, right? So the access that you get by being an m-i-c is seconds and on right you have access to me bow Our moderators mentors videos everything so again just try this out man And there's there's literally no reason why you shouldn't and I don't know why thousands of people aren't even try alex So show me your dms.   I already have one two three four five No, just scroll through all the old ones. They still list the old ones.   Oh, yeah So so let me actually mention two things number one is tonight We are doing a webinar for all of our members, right? So if you join with a free trial today, you are going to have access to a webinar It's going to be a group webinar with me Tosh and fey We're going to be recapping today's trades and we're going to be talk taking q&a like questions from the audience Tell quickly who fey is If you guys don't know who fey is that's crazy But number one is fey's a member that joined and after I think it was about 30 days or 45 days She found consistency after her second week of m-i-c.  I mean dude. I mean this is someone that just started training this this year Just a few months ago, you know She joined I think was it february 1st or january 1st something like that Yeah, and you know what the difference is she came in? This is a huge advantage of the people says I don't want to join because I don't know anything yet. Let me learn on my own first and join That's the wrong approach the best time to learn and join is when you know nothing You have zero bad habits. You learn the m-i-c process from day one and that's what jane did That's what fey did fey didn't know how to trade she learned the m-i-c process So she didn't know any bad habits. She started using hard stops from day one Yep So, I mean that's the thing imagine you never use a hard stop It's gonna be very hard to switch into using a hard stop, but you slowly you happen to start using that Yep, and exactly guys. I mean the point is you could look at mine and bow success and that's great But what we pride ourselves on is the success of our members, right? So if you see another community of a guy making tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands You should probably see if anyone else is able to do that the answer 90 in time is no that only works for them So what we pride ourselves on is the uh, our process is repeatable and our members are actually consistently making money So it's up to you guys if you want to try it out a couple things two more things So we know it's repeatable because you know what we post our charts other members are posting the same entries and exits of us The charts are pretty much identical because we're using the same strategies and process that we're teaching And this strategy works long shorts large caps small caps James last week I interviewed james last week jj He was under pdt 7000. I think root of 90 000 bucks in six months It's all about the process guys It's not you're not going to get there on the first day or the third day, but keep at it. It's a long Anything in life man. It's worth it. It's going to put some time into it, but I guarantee you it won't take you as long as going to college, okay Because there's much quicker than college and much cheaper too. So all right guys So we'll see you tomorrow Webinar toss tonight webinar at 7 p.m Webinar 7 p.m inside mic the link will be posted 10 minutes before black friday. We have a few slots left guys I'm telling you right now. This is your chance. We'll see you

I want to help you figure out how to respond when your marketing budget is cut. Welcome to the We Are Slam Show where you'll learn marketing agency insights, best practices, and ideas to help your business grow. My name is Tyler Kelly. I'm the co-founder and chief strategist here at Slam Agency. We're a full-service digital marketing agency designed to help you captivate, motivate, and inspire people to action through advertising. And today, I want to help you figure out how to respond when your marketing budget is cut. Now, according to Gartner, over 65% of marketing leaders say that their marketing budgets have been cut this year. Now, for some, that might mean advertising. For others, that might mean people, right? And if you're in that boat, if you've come to our show today and you've sought us out on Google or you're a regular listener or viewer and your marketing budget has been cut, then that's a pretty drastic situation. And number one, the good news is because you're dealing with the situation, you haven't been cut. So you have some choices that you need to make. And really, this show is all about how not to necessarily react, but how to respond when this happens. As we know, a reaction is something that is instant, not very well thought out. A response is more strategic. And so today, I want to help you respond to this situation, help you get through it, help you have some clarity and some strategic vision going forward. Now, I'm going to give you three steps to help you get through and respond during this time, knowing that you didn't make this decision, but you're the one who has to see it through. So how can you do more with less?  When marketing budget cuts are reactionary rather than strategic, that they really do hurt the business. They really do hurt your long term objectives, your long term goals. And it really makes it difficult to get out of the situation that we're in. Of course, we're in a recession, we're in a time period where marketing budgets are being cut. And because of that, there presents a lot of opportunities. As a matter of fact, over the last 100 years, we've had, we've had more than a handful of recessions and the data over the last 100 years, over the last century, the data shows that when businesses either maintain or increase marketing budgets, that they see massive benefits during times like these. On the flip side of that coin, when marketing budgets are reduced, sales always suffer. So I know you know this as a marketing professional, but I just want to reiterate this, that when advertising decreases, sales decreases well. And the data also shows that when you increase or maintain your marketing and advertising spend, that these benefits not only happen, you know, in the here and now, but they persist for several years after the recession. Now, of course, you already know this, that when advertising increases strategically, that sales follow. And when advertising is decreased, sales decrease. But I just had to remind you to just take a step back, take a deep breath and realize that if you just start cutting, because you have to, or you just start cutting because it's the thing to do, that that's going to come back and it's going to actually be detrimental to your bottom line. Now, step two is for those of you who you just don't have a choice and you're faced with this, like I said, you didn't make this decision, but you have to carry it out. You know, it's come from up here. And it's your CEO or your CFO, as you said, you know, the money's not there. You have to cut back on marketing and advertising.  So what do you do then? Step two really is to take a long hard look at what's working and what's not working and where can you get the most bang for your buck? Okay, so obviously, you know, some of the easy targets are television and radio and out of home advert. These are easy targets.  How can I double down on digital? And if you're thinking about doubling down on digital, which really is, you know, probably the solution in terms of advertising, because the advantage here with digital is it allows you to maintain your reach. It allows you to do more with less, right? You can not only maintain, but do more with less.  Because if they were all there, it would be very difficult for smaller brands, smaller businesses, to be able to afford, to be able to maintain that spend on a platform like Facebook, because it was already getting nearly overpriced. And if that's the case, then it makes it difficult for smaller businesses to jump in if you haven't jumped in before. But if you're there, you have the history, double down on that, invest in that digital experience and that digital platform, that digital advertising, and you'll see the return. When we're talking about digital, though, it's more than just advertising. Matter of fact, I want you to think about content as well, because you can, when you're doubling down on digital, you can double down on content. I want you to rethink and repurpose your content. You know, you've invested in content and there's a lot of content out there. You know, there's a lot you can do with your existing content. Not only can you redistribute, but you can remix, okay? Rethink the way that you're working through this. Remix this content. Take four or five blog posts and create an e-book. Or, you know, go through and look at your blog list and see what types of topics are getting the most traffic and then say, okay, what sort of e-books or offers can I put on these blogs? You know, if you're getting a ton of traffic on a blog, make sure there's a CTA there. Make sure there's a call to action there. Make sure there's something that you want your reader to do. And it's not just the generic, you know, sign up for the newsletter or download this e-book in, you know, in the sidebar or something like that. Make sure it's specific to the article. Go back in and see where people are spending time on that article and put that CTA right then and there in the article. Make sure that happens. And really just to understand that when it comes to content, you know, content costs money to produce content. And because of this, you're going to begin to see open spaces. You're going to begin to see open markets in the sense that, you know, there's space, there's room for you and for your voice, for your brand's voice. And there might be new spaces that you can enter as a result of continuing to produce, continuing to distribute content because this is one place where a lot of people are going to back out. And the reason they back out is because the CEO is like, you know, where is, where are the sales? Where are the sales coming from this content? And as marketing professional, you know that a lot of times content, it's top of the funnel. It's middle of the funnel. And so those sales aren't immediate, right? And because they're not immediate, your CEO might not understand that, you know, these sales take time. If they don't understand the flywheel and the way that, you know, inbound marketing works, then you're going to have a tough time during the recession explaining to this person the value of inbound marketing. If they're not a believer, then you're not going to make them a believer now. And because of that, you're going to see a lot of brands begin to go silent when it comes to content. And so it opens up spaces for you. If you continue to fight the good fight, what you'll see is that you have room for your brand, for your voice, and you'll generate a lot of new opportunities, a lot of new leads from the content that you're continuing to produce, and that you're distributing, that you're remixing, that you're putting out there. Remember, content 101 is, it's a consistent thing. You have to be consistent when it comes to content marketing. The other thing I want you to think about when it comes to doubling down on what works, i.e. digital, right? Doing more with less, i.e. digital. I don't want you to sacrifice long-term sales and revenue, long-term brand growth for short term. What does this mean? Don't throw all your money in the bottom of the funnel and neglect the top of the funnel. We know that AdWords works. We know that as a foundation, you need to put money in AdWords because these are now buyers. These are the people at the bottom of the funnel that they're ready to buy now. This is your top 3%. They've come here to your site, and now they're ready to make a purchase. And generally, you just need to help them make that purchase. You need to make it easy. The user experience needs to be simple. I need to know where to find what I'm looking for. And I don't need any complications when it comes to checking out or to taking that next step or to completing that call to action. But when it comes to the top of the funnel, if you just put all your money into the bottom of the funnel, which is great, that's a foundational aspect. But don't neglect the top of the funnel because the top of the funnel is your long-term growth. If you neglect the top of the funnel, then what's going to happen two, three months down the road, what you're going to see is it's just going to dry up. It's going to dry up because you haven't put the time and the effort into maintaining that content marketing. And when I think about maintaining, I'm really, I'm thinking about maintaining that balance and understanding the buyer's journey, the buyer's journey, you know, from attention to interest to desire to action, understanding that they might not be aware of their problem. They might not be aware of your solution or of your product. And wherever they are, when you think about the Holy Grail of marketing, what's that Holy Grail? It's right person, right message, right time, right place. Wherever they are, whatever situation they're facing, whatever that pain point is, you need to be able to address them and find them in their time of need. And if you can do that and do that consistently, then you've got a pretty strong inbound marketing, strategic inbound marketing game. And that's what works. And that's what it's going to take to not only, you know, get short-term results, but to see the long-term growth. And step three is for those of you who, you know, come back to the office, you're looking around the department, and there just aren't as many people there as there were. I mean, your team has been cut, right? Not only your marketing budget, but your team has been cut. I mean, think about it. You have, you know, a marketing manager, a web developer, a graphic designer, a social media content marketing person. What are those salaries costs? I mean, that could be anywhere from, that could be $300,000 a year. Then you've got taxes and insurance. And then you have the applications, you know, the Adobe Photoshop and all the different things that are a monthly cost for marketing and for creative. And suddenly, you know, it's like, okay, we need to cut these things. And a lot of times, that means cutting people. And if you're faced with that type of situation where you've lost your team, your marketing director, your CMO, and you have lost your team, and you're looking for a solution, like, okay, I need to go to Upwork. I need to, you know, go to the talent agency and find somebody that can work short term on this project here and this project here. And I need to manage this and manage that I need to report to my CEO results. You have a vision, you have a strategy, but executing it trying to manage a team and outsource team. It's just not what you signed up for. And I understand that. And so step three really is to seriously consider outsourcing your marketing team. Now I know that a lot of us have experienced outsourcing individuals, right? We can we hire a copywriter here, a videographer here, you know, we have somebody doing social media here. And you know, that's that's one way to do it. It's a lot more time consuming a lot more things to manage when one person drops out, you have to hire somebody else or outsource, you know, that area and then teach them your processes and your systems. And it's just it's time consuming. And so when you go out and you outsource an entire marketing team, and we're talking about an agency like SLAM, you go out and outsource to an agency like SLAM, then you get all of these things all in one for the price of one or two employees. And so really, you're able to hire, you know, for that expertise, whether it be videography, copywriting, digital advertising strategy, social media, you're able to hire an entire team to come in and replace the team that you lost for the price of one or two employees.  And you're going to be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. And the key here is to understand that it's impossible to, you know, find a marketing assistant quote unquote, that is a web developer, coder, graphic designer, copywriter, social media, you know, like that person doesn't exist. But those teams do exist. And so your priority is to figure out, you know, where are the teams that I can interview that I can trust that I can hire? Where are these teams? And how do I get in touch with them? And how can I engage them to, number one, see what I see and understand what I understand. But then execute on it to follow through on my vision and to do so with my budget. If you're facing a situation like this, then maybe, just maybe, SLAM agency is the outsourced marketing team that you're looking for. And, you know, we have built our agency, I've built this agency to be your marketing team.

I remember these waffles from when I was a kid because I would go in the school holidays with my mum to the market and you'd smell the waffle man before you saw him. You saw all these kids with mothers who had the same idea as us go and buy a packet of waffles and I thought, well surely I can sell a few here in the market. And that's how we started. I think Wales is a lovely place to live and that's what attracted me to come here and the other strength of Wales is definitely that people who are here, who want to be here and who feel that they belong, they are prepared to go the extra mile to make the extra effort if it is required, definitely.
