It's very easy to be pessimistic when you see the trends that are going on now. Emissions still going up, certainly CO2 concentrations still going up, biodiversity still being lost. However, I think there's some extremely optimistic signs and that is when you look at complex systems, and I'm thinking about human societies as complex systems, when you approach a tipping point you often see a lot of chaotic behaviour in the system because it's getting ready to reorganise, whether it's a natural system, an ecosystem, or whether it's a planetary atmospheric circulation system, that's happening by the way in the northern hemisphere jet stream for example, it's very chaotic at the moment, but it happens in human systems too before we change. Just in the last two years I see a lot of real sort of excitement, a lot of stuff bubbling up in the private sector, in a lot of government sectors around the world, unfortunately not quite yet in Australia, although underneath at the state level and at lower jurisdictions, there's a lot happening. We are approaching a tipping point where people internalise this, the climate change and the bigger planetary issue. And I think particularly younger people, it's going from being sort of an intellectual problem that's so vast and so far in the distance you can't get it, your head around it, to something that people are starting to internalise conceptually and starting to feel. Part of that is because we start to experience it in terms of the biosphere, we've had two mass bleaching events on the Great Barrier Reef and I think that's actually shook up a lot of Australians who were complacent to say, oh this isn't going to happen or it'll be so far in the distance, well in two years you've wiped out 50% of the world's biggest marine ecosystem. But people also feel it in terms of bushfire threats, I've talked to firies for example out in Perth, and they said for the first time we're seeing fires that we have to give up and run for our lives. They are so intense, so threatening that even with the best equipment we can't fight them.  And that's only because we have higher temperatures, hotter days, drier vegetation. The tipping point we need to get over now is for people to realise that there are solutions on the other side. That this isn't, we've got to give up everything we have and go back to Stone Age or whatever. And I think the biggest positive there is the renewable energy boom because not only is this clean energy, it's undercutting the incumbents economically as well. Rather than this being doom and gloom, rather than this being impossible, this is turning into a challenge, an opportunity and a chance for humans to do what we're best at, which is to be really, really innovative. The thing we have to understand is to get out of this notion that we are somehow going to be massive geo-engineers and manage this planet because we don't understand this complex system enough. We're disturbing it, but we can't manage it top-down. The most important thing that we have to understand is that we have to manage us. And we have to make sure that by us, I mean our societies, I don't just mean individuals changing a light globe. I mean we have to think of the structure of our societies. Beyond that we have to think of what's most valuable in our societies, particularly in the Anglo-Saxon world. We have narrowed down so much of life and tried to stick it in a market-based economic system that we are headlong for failure if we don't realise that. We have to put limits on what is in an economic system and what we manage elsewhere outside based on fundamental principles and values. So we have to understand that we actually have to manage ourselves in a way that we take pressure off the Earth's system. For example, Indigenous Australians, their main goal in life was to manage the cycles of life that they came into. And they modified Australia and they built structures and they had fishing systems and they grew grains and so on. But they did it within the cycles of the Australian system and when Europeans got there, this place was like an incredible garden on the most arid continent on Earth. So I think that really is our challenge now is to say how do we develop thriving societies where there's a high level of human well-being that are in sync with the cycles of the planet? And I emphasise that it's not managing the cycles of the planet, it's managing us so that we fit in with the cycles of the planet and that is a very big difference. When I look around the world and I had the great pleasure of being director of an international global change research programme that had 50 countries on every continent. So I got to see a fair spectrum of how countries, cultures, people are thinking about this. And you've got the big gorillas out there. You've got the United States which is hugely important economically and a very vibrant scientific community as well. And you've got the European Union, you've got China. But you've also got really innovative small countries. I'm thinking here mainly of the Nordic countries. I had the pleasure of living in Sweden for six years who are incubators for really innovative ideas. And they can do that because they're small, they're nimble. There's a lot of connectivity across disciplines in science and so on because they are small. Knowledge does not scale with the size of your economy. It scales with your education level, your social systems and the cleverness of your people. So maybe there are opportunities for New Zealand to come up with maybe approaches to carbon neutral aviation fuels for example, something we've talked about. Or certainly we have to have new systems for managing agriculture to reduce the pressure of agriculture. Not only on the climate but on the water systems and so on. Agriculture is big in New Zealand but New Zealand is innovative. Maybe some new thinking about how we manage agriculture then could be a huge knowledge export from New Zealand. This is a way we need to think I think of becoming an incubator for innovative ideas. And that a small country can do.


So you had a great time in Gambia. It was amazing. The weather was so nice and I met so many genuine, amazing people. These bluebells are so stubborn. There were so many mango trees in Gambia. They were everywhere. And were the mangoes ripe? No, it wasn't the season sadly, but they were just so beautiful. My manager at Corum told me that there's these trees near the office where we lived and the bark would like, it takes in pollution. You know, we know things about trees that we didn't even know 20 years ago, like how much they communicate with each other. That sounds amazing. I'm really, I'm obsessed with trees right now. I want to add more knowledge to my obsession. It'd be nice to know what trees I'm looking at instead of just being like, wow. That's a nice tree. Exactly. To the UK when I was nine, I've lived here over 10 years. I found out that I couldn't go to university and then shortly after I found out that I didn't even have status. It doesn't matter how long you've lived in this country, you know, your rights can be taken away like that. I've always wanted to study law ever since I was young. It became something that I have to do when the law stopped me from leaving my full potential and saw what better place to do that than SOAS. When I saw the appeal from SOAS, I realised I couldn't give very much money, but I did have this room. I was quite doubtful really whether this would suit me because I really like living alone, but I thought I'd try it as an experiment, you know, how bad can a year be? What's the worst that could happen? So this is the most exciting thing. These are the bits that you can eat. And they were this small.  I noticed how by the time I woke up, Caroline would have done about 10 million things. So I was like, okay, I'm going to start waking up, buddy. Take a page out of Caroline's book and, you know, the garden is so beautiful. So I thought what a perfect place to just wake up and stretch and just be so inspired and ready for the day. I've really lived here my whole life. I don't know anything else. I always thought I was British. I was really surprised to find out that someone could have lived in the UK for as long as Michelle and still not be able to access student finance. My father was refugee. He came to this country when he was 12. My father's brilliant career was only made possible by so many people helping him. So I've always felt a particular responsibility to help refugees. I think that SOAS provides a wonderful place where we can meet people who are different from us and find out that actually in many ways they're just the same. There's so many friends that I never told that I was undocumented about my situation because you just don't know who's going to look at you like a criminal or just not even see you like a human being. I think what SOAS did for me is that it gave me hope and it's more than just money. It's knowing that there's people out there who actually care. They think that you deserve the right to education. And this small thing really makes a difference in so many people's lives.

I Don't know if that shoulder still bothering him or if he's just tinkering with his swing too much.

I Don't care about how many homers Cody Belanger has in a season Care about how many homers Cody Belanger is gonna have in the postseason Yeah, absolutely. I mean if the Padres I mean Padres gave up so much For Juan Soto, you got to think that they are definitely making You know, they're not giving that much up without having an extension in the works Yeah but Juan Soto can't pitch and right now the the pitching has been sort of an issue For the Padres the last last few games here Yeah, I'm national's got a haul, right? I think it's gonna be a little bit longer than a few years Rex, but they did get a haul We'll maybe start seeing some of those players emerge four or five years down the road I mean they may may make their debuts a lot sooner, but Just to really for them to really get into the swing of things There's Joe Burrow to 150 for the bangles a little mini right here. That's Tyler Beatty And we got Jermaine Johnson the second rookie auto for the Jets that'll be for Patrick It's a move Rex is saying that he's glad the Cubs didn't make I don't know if the Cubs really had the same assets that the Padres had to be honest But yeah off-season will be pretty big for the Cubs this year as they rebuild Jed Hoyer said they'll have a lot of money spend this winter. Isn't that what they said last year last winter too? There's James Conner 299 Tiki Barber to 125 For the Giants that'll be for Jerry got a Desmond Ritter right here for the Falcons that'll be for EA oh I see not necessary for Soto, but just get rid of their prospects for a player to yeah I mean, I don't think the Cubs are we're they're not in that situation. It'd be Just wouldn't make sense for them to chase after one player There's Isaiah Spillard 299. So I don't think they were ever gonna do that move at least in the summer There you go, Freddy There's Trayvon Walker. That's a little mini cart three out of ten Gold cracked ice That's for the Jags. That's gonna be for Nestor. Nice low number on that We got under the lights blue to 35.

I Mean Jilo sounds like a typo on the birth certificate to Jilo underscore 810. What kind of name is that? Making fun of names Jilo. That's not nice. I am an average Joe Jilo. You got that right Just your average Joe breaking some cards Hopefully pulling some nice hits for you Box two of four coming at you It's like two autographs per box on average is what they say on the box. I'll take their word for it Good luck everyone. I find some of the quarterbacks names here among other things There is a Hassan Haskins to 149 Joe's saying not to make fun of names my always making fun of yours. I'm not making fun of your name How am I making fun of your name? Look at that Drake London futures Patch and auto what what I'm I don't follow college as closely as I maybe should But what bowl is that can anyone identify the bowl game? one out of five Drake London, of course is a wide receiver for the Falcons. That's going to be for EA sports. It's in the game Where's my pen? Cougar ball. It could be the cougar ball Doesn't look like a G there That's right. G ladder that would be a bowl game that Zach Wilson would be and he's playing probably playing the cougar ball every week Drake London though going to EA and the Atlanta Falcons EA All aboard the big hit express It's pretty sharp 15 out of 50 that's Luke Keekley Speaking of Zach Wilson. There he is We've got a little mini Nick Bosa 125 John Elway to 125 For dense. It'll be kind of weird not seeing big Ben on a weekly basis changing of the guard in Pittsburgh another Desmond Ritter rookie card for the ATL He might get some I wonder if Desmond Ritter will get some run. I think they got Mariota down there right in the atl. I don't know if it's an open quarterback battle or if if uh Mariota is going to be qb1, but I know in his short time with the Raiders You know, I like Mariota, but but always seem to get uh get dinged up So we'll see there's a alex alex not alex, but alex pierce for the Colts Taylor There's Darnell mooney to 299 for the Bears Malik Willis maybe for the Titans EA with the Titans He's got some upside as well. There he is again under the lights All right two more boxes to go Am I sure that's a bowl game pat? I mean I would assume so It kind of looks like a bowl game patch now You just look up the bowl games that usc played in the last couple of last two years Could have been the previous year if they weren't in a bowl game this year Obi-Wan, what's going on? I'm doing well. How are you? first day back In the national little bake haze knocking off a little rust On these group breaks getting back into the swing of things I mean it could be a Could be a conference patch or maybe some some other kind of patch if it's not a bowl game patch Doesn't look like a conference pass. Maybe it is. I don't know. It's kind of hard to tell I don't do sponsors on college shirts or anything I did enjoy the national Obi-Wan. It was As usual Very busy Went by It's a combination of went by really fast and went by really slow Um But yeah, ultimately it was really satisfying. It's got a lot of good work done I think and especially we got to see a lot of people, you know, which is also nice um a lot of a lot of uh Attaching names of uh names of regulars attaching them to faces Hopefully I remember those faces But there was a lot of people and it's all jumbled up in my head, but it was nice to see people Say hi, and it's just good to see. I think a lot of people get cynical about the hobby You know when you're just watching group breaks and you're not really You know if you don't really have a local card shop that you're checking out or whatever sometimes People kind of get into a mindset that oh the hobby is Tanking or not doing well or whatever the case may be. I don't know. I mean Judging from our shop here and all the especially kids Judging from our shop here. Here's Kenny Pickett for the Steelers and judging from the amount of kids and stuff that are at the national Hobby is still so pretty strong I think there were more kids at this year's national than we've seen in A lot of the previous ones. So a lot of young kids still getting into the hobby a lot of adults still into the hobby a lot of money exchanging hands between Between buyers and sellers. So it's pretty good So yeah, ultimately it was another uh successful trip There's Garrett Wilson to 75 It's for the Jets Hmm. The last bowl game usc was playing was in the holiday bowl three years ago was drake london in that holiday bowl And there's a cave on a tibet oh Six out of 60 under the lights autograph I should have had a checklist. I'm sorry The outside linebacker out of oregon is um Going to go to the new york football giants Six out of 60 that'll be for jerry bennington and The g-men Yeah, exactly. Yeah g-lo seen the same thing too He's saying uh Seeing a lot more kids at his lcs So yeah, I mean again, it's easy to get cynical about the hobby. It's not perfect There's and just like any other market that there's going to be ups and downs for sure But from uh from a long From a long position From a longer view I think the hobby will be will be just fine. There's ricky williams of 25 I've not heard any uh, I didn't really get to To talk to a lot of the kids outside the kids that came up and said hello to me at the booth I was kind of stuck there, but uh, no I've not heard any kids anything about nfts or Blockchains or anything like that. There's karson strong One out of 35 under the lights autograph karson strong Is with the eagles With the fly eagles fly bill bell There's the bell bill bell With the fly eagles fly Uh drake london, I believe is that usc kid that we pulled jaylen tollberg Looks like a different background right there, but Jerome 4 to 199 although logan, I will say there were a lot of uh, I mean there's thousands of booths and and vendors and and breakers and Collector all sorts of things at the national. There were I think a lot of people um, you know still exploring that That nft blockchain kind of space So there are a lot of people out there talking about nfts So there's there's still some talk about that around there people are still trying to make it work But yeah, I mean I I think i'm with you gila. I was going to say gilo hates the hype of like nfts But down the road you think it's going to be beneficial. Yeah, but I mean these are the growing pains I agree with you too. You know, I think I think a lot of people have Have made and lost money on nft So people are a lot of people still trying to wrap their heads around it too you know, um a lot of people, uh Being scammed out of their their nft money too. So like So it's still as a we're in like baby stages, you know, I mean like There's going to be a lot of A lot of growing pains a lot of learning curve a lot of things people are going to have to learn before Before I think it really becomes Something whatever it's going to be become something Mike power. What's up man saying the nfts blockchains are the gateway to the matrix Are the gateway to the matrix or already are we already in the matrix? Mike, okay, so jack. Thank you for the research So the last time usc played in a bowl game was 2019's San Diego county credit union holiday bowl and he did play in that game a freshman wide receiver Nice So now that makes sense There's the oh of Diego and there's the count of county See thanks jack Love how we kind of crowdsource that information there. I like this. Yeah, I like doing that research Gilo say that an nft game at a kansas c royals game the other week and you're not sure anyone really understood Gilo saying he probably played like one snap I don't know jack. Do you have are you going to make jack go back to the box score? Gilo look it up Maybe he had a maybe he had an amazing game. Who knows? There's kyler gordon There's kyler How does that turn around that's kind of weird. Well, there's kenny picket chrome rookie card That's for the Steelers that's going to be for michael michael balloo too with that one Possibly hopefully the future There's malik willis No, this is the we're getting trolled here That was gonna be an autograph EA.

Wow two out of two nick bosa What a way to finish the break nester with the niners Out of fives and under get the train whistle nester All aboard the big hit express Some nice stuff popping out of this legacy ladies and gentlemen That's to 125 for the colts Darius Leonard Nice tiley. Yeah, I don't think there was any doubt On that right anything else low numbered here before The break is done To 199 drew a person Dalvin cook at the end and there you go ladies and gentlemen pretty nice break couple train whistles in this some nice autos Thanks for watching. Thanks for breaking with us now. Let's give away some money So if you follow the instructions in the uh The description and excuse me the description if you buy at least two teams, you'll get one entry I'm not used to talking this much It's been a while bill with two teams.

How does Mihawk sit with this massive sword on his back? Now, I can't answer that mysterious question, but there are some questions I can definitely provide some answers to because I've gathered 45 facts about Dracula Mihawk that you probably didn't know. But one of these facts is actually incorrect. Can you find which one it is? Let me know by leaving a comment below. Did you know that Mihawk has been the victim to a number of changes by the four kids animation? They shortened his sword guard, changed his cross necklace to an eye, his drinking scene with shanks was edited out, but by far the best and funniest one is the French accent they gave him. Is that right? A duel with me? And if having multiple accents aren't weird enough, in the original Japanese animation, Mihawk was voiced by the late Takeshi Aono, the same voice actor as Rupeslap before the voice actor's death in 2012. Since then, he has been voiced by Hirohiko Kakegawa, who also voices Hamburg. Did you know that the small raft that Mihawk travels in is called Hitsugibune? When translated to English, this literally means coffin boat, which makes perfect sense because when looked at from above, it does resemble a funerary box. In the One Piece Global Popularity poll released in 2021, Mihawk ranked at number 30 overall, making him one of the most popular characters in the world. But did you know, despite being one of the more popular characters in the series, Mihawk has never once featured on a volume cover? I'm sure in time this will change once we get more screen time of the world's strongest swordsman. Mihawk is one of only two of the original warlords who don't have a devil fruit, the other one being the current straw hat helmsman, Jinbei. You may already know that Mihawk is a former warlord of the sea, but did you know that he's the only member of the original group of warlords whose original frozen bounty was never revealed? His current bounty, however, is a whopping figure of 3.59 billion berry, giving Mihawk the highest known bounty of a non-Yonko character. And in fact, this great amount is even higher than two of the current emperors, Luffy and Buggy. Luffy who only has a bounty of 3 billion berry and Buggy with a 3.189 billion berry. Also making Mihawk the only pirate with a bigger bounty than his captain. A higher bounty isn't the only thing Mihawk has over the other Yonko. His skills as a swordsman also surpasses that of Red Hair Shanks. Holding the title of world's strongest swordsman, Mihawk fittingly owns Yoru, a supreme grade sword which is the highest rank given for the 12 highest quality blades in the world. Yoru in Japanese means knight. And this is a very fitting name as it is a black blade, making it stronger and more resilient than an ordinary sword. Mihawk is the only known living character who has turned his sword into a black blade. The only other known character who was able to achieve this in the series was legendary sword god Ryuma. As a proud swordsman, Mihawk won't use Yoru against just anyone. And only worthy opponents get to fight against Yoru. Which is why when he first dueled Zoro at Baratie, Mihawk first used a smaller blade called Kogatana and only used Yoru after acknowledging Zoro as a worthy challenger. While we can only imagine the full extent of how strong Yoru really is, we've at least been shown that it is strong enough to slice a meteor as seen in the One Piece film, Stamped. Something we don't have to imagine is what Yoru would look like if it was a human. That's because in SBS volume 95, One Piece creator, Echiro Oda, drew both Yoru and Kogatana in human form. And if Yoru was a human, she would be known as Yoruko, the cool older sister of Kogatana's human form, or Makeko. It's no surprise that Mihawk came to hold the title of World Strongest Swordsman since Mihawk started practicing his swordsplay from a very young age. This was seen in SBS volume 63, where Mihawk looks as fierce as ever, ready to smack down anyone who gets in his way using only a booken, which translated means wooden sword. Did you know that Mihawk was already famous at a young age? In fact, his Vivrica tells us that even before the great age of piracy, he had already gained fame for defeating stronger opponents and challenging more and more powerful foes until he had no more worthy opponents. One of his previous opponents was Shanks, who was perhaps Mihawk's greatest rival. According to the late legend Whitebeard, news of their jewels used to echo across the grand line. However, Mihawk lost interest in fighting Shanks after Shanks lost his arm to save Luffy. Mihawk's only goal in life is to be defeated by another swordsman in combat, which is why he now waits for another skilled swordsman who will emerge to surpass the lives of Shanks and perhaps even himself. And Mihawk is even willing to wait for Zoro to achieve this feat. Talk about a love story. With finding and dueling a worthy swordsman being his only passion and goal, Mihawk would spend most of his time sailing the seas for fun, hoping to find a worthy challenger. In fact, if there was another strong swordsman who was good enough to keep Mihawk occupied, then Mihawk would probably not have met Zoro. As he states that he only followed Krieg to Baratier for fun. Did you know that Mihawk has never been seen to receive even a single scratch in the series? He's also one of the strongest characters in One Piece who does not have any visible scars. Mihawk is the subject of a number of fan theories. One of the most popular theories is related to his unique eyes. Some fans believe Mihawk is related to Imu due to their eyes looking quite similar. Another popular theory is that Mihawk is the son of the late pirate king's right-hand man, Silver's Rayleigh, and Shaki, the former empress of Amazon Lily. According to his vivid card, Mihawk only became a warlord just so he could travel freely on his own to continue his quest of finding strong opponents. In fact, before forming Crossgild, Mihawk was one of only very few pirates without a crew, which is even more impressive when you consider how he managed to reach the Grand Line despite being a lone wolf. And I'm not even sure we can classify Mihawk as a pirate because he doesn't even have a jolly roger. Although we may know the reason for why Mihawk became one of the warlords, we don't know why Mihawk became a pirate. What we do know is that he was once known for being a marine hunter, which ironically, Zoro was once a pirate hunter, meaning that in a strange twist of fate, Zoro, who used to hunt pirates, became one and Mihawk, who used to hunt marines, would later go on to join the world government as a warlord. Intensifying their relationship as some sort of star-crossed lovers, Mihawk just wants to have a quiet and relaxing life. In fact, Zev speculated that he may have destroyed Don Creek's fleet of 50 ships and 5,000 pirates just because they interrupted his nap, possibly giving Mihawk the highest kill count in the series. But aside from swordplay and napping, Mihawk actually shares a hobby with Zoro's other rival Sanji, with Mihawk shown to be an excellent cook. And according to his Vivricard, Mihawk's favorite drink is red wine, which I imagine he drinks alongside his own delicious home-cooked meals. In fact, Mihawk is quite interested in agriculture. As we saw in the cover page of chapter 826, where Mihawk is shown farming, even wearing a straw hat. Speaking of straw hat, Mihawk is only one of the only characters portrayed to be unfazed at the news that straw hat Luffy is Monkey D Dragon's son. And did you know that Mihawk was present at Goldie Rogers' execution? And noticeably, his younger self didn't sport a beard at the time. Making you wonder, at what point did he decide to change his style? Because Mihawk's style is indeed very important to his character, as his design is likely a reference to Bam Stroker Dracula, which is also the influence for his name, Dracula Mihawk. His nickname, Hawkeyes, however, comes from the fact that Mihawk's eyes resemble that of a hawk. But did you know that before Oda came up with Hawkeyes, another idea for Mihawk's epithet was Clairvoyant, which is perhaps a hint that Mihawk will have some sort of ridiculous future sight? But I'm glad that Hawkeyes won in the end, because it sounds much cooler. Mihawk's eyes are also very unique, being only one of three characters in the entire series who have double-layered irises. The other two being Imu and Karabu, or four characters if you count Zunish's eyes from the anime. Mihawk's height is 198 centimetres, or six foot six inches. This is the same height as Michael Jordan and just a bit taller than the average height of an NBA shooting guard. Mihawk was 41 years old when the series started and is currently 43 years old, making him the same age as Luffy currently at 19 years old when Roger died. His birthday is on March 9th, which is the same birthday as Shanks, making Mihawk a Pisces and birthday twins with his former rival. Frankie also shares a birthday with these two as a third wheel. Mihawk lives on Kurogana Island, which is the former home of the now fallen Chikikadao kingdom, living mostly alone apart from the human drills who inhabited the forest on the island. He was briefly joined by Zoro and Perona, both of whom were sent there by fellow former warlord, Batholomucuma, using his devil fruit powers. Kurogana Island is also where Mihawk became Zoro's teacher, training Zoro for two years. And while proving to be a great teacher, as seen through Zoro's improvement post timeskip, he was also a very strict teacher, as he was shown to forbid Zoro from drinking any alcohol until he fully mastered the ability to coat his sword with armament hockey. Mihawk's blood type is S, which coincidentally is also the blood type of another one of Zoro's mentors, Shimotsuki Koshiro and his late daughter and Zoro's rival, Kuina. So maybe it's not a coincidence after all, and Zoro just attracts people with this blood type. And the final fact about Mihawk, did you know that Mihawk would make for a very beautiful woman? When Oda drew each of the warlords in a gender swap, we see Mihawk would have made a very fine and fair swordswoman. And there you have it, 45 facts about Dracula Mihawk.

Why is it that we're so passionate about something we've created and we put it out there and Others just don't get it They're just not as excited as we are about the thing. Have you ever put something out there like this? I remember several years ago, I Created a group coaching program. I was really excited about it because well, I had spent a lot of time and energy creating it Years of insights that I put together and I launched it excitedly to my audience Crickets well eventually one person bought and it was Supposed to be a group program so I eventually refunded her and You know ate some humble pie Well, thankfully Since then I have launched that group program Again, and it's become full with a waiting list, but it has taken those years of Taking my audience on that journey in order for them to understand why it's so valuable so if you also have had that experience of Creating a product a program a service a package and event You're passionate about it or even simply an idea It's just you know something you've been thinking about a lot and you put it out there and people just go Kind of stare at with their blink blink stares or no comments no likes or very few of them anyway You're like this is not the best idea in the world. This is this is You know world-changing stuff life-changing stuff for me. Anyway, how come none of you get this? the reason It's because none of them Went through the same journey that you did to get to that idea To get to that product or that event or that service You see and if they had gone on the same journey with you Many more of them would be as excited as you now not all of them because you know, even if you know 100 people go on the same exact journey at all hundred people came from the different backgrounds and they have different genetics and You know back upbringings and just ways of thinking and they won't all experience the exact same journey But if a hundred people went on the same journey with you Chances are there's going to be quite a few of them who are passionate at the end of the journey when you reveal something That has taken the journey to really understand and get really excited about so my question for you is How will you bring your audience on a journey? Into creating a product or a service or a program or an idea or an event And this is why I often Talk about how we build our products with our audience instead of what most people do is They they study in isolation they Build their service or package in isolation and then they come to somebody like me who is supposedly a marketing expert And they say well you marketing expert you go and convince everybody That my thing is great Isn't that what you're supposed to you're supposed to be clever at writing clever at design at the launch sequence the Campaign marketing campaign you go do your clever stuff and I meanwhile You know have gone through my years of journey and nobody else has except me and You know now you might say well George naturally my ideal audience your ideal audience probably has gone through a similar journey as you in some ways but when it comes to Something that you're really passionate about that you that you've built yourself particularly a program service event idea product a framework It's not the same journey they've been on now Of course, if you can connect your thing to a common journey, you're seeing out there It's gonna be much more successful. I mean, this is this is why people You know do storytelling, right? So let's talk about storytelling in any piece of content in any article or video or Movie or You know podcast episode, right? if you can Bring the audience on some kind of journey The payoff at the end they say payoff, you know, because it's sort of like they had to Get these various contexts and details before the the final reveal It's like oh my god that was so satisfying because all these different pieces of the context and the Challenges that the hero went on that went then went through and assets that the hero Developed or or you know retrieved on the journey now finally makes sense at the end of the article video episode, etc, right now I Honestly probably didn't do a great job of storytelling in this very video Because I should have told you stories about in the starting beginning about let me tell you about life Well, I kind of did a little bit telling that my failed launch and then this is what happened And then this is how it became successful and that that would have been more satisfying for you So I apologize for not being a great storyteller. I honestly, I'm not a great storyteller. I have to be upfront about that. Um, I Know some of you are professional storytellers and you'll you'll say take my course on storytelling but I I think that What I the the way that I take you on a journey is because I'm not naturally a good storyteller in any one video or article What I do is I just do it in the long term Let me explain so basically, I Take you on my journey, you know, it's like whatever I'm thinking If it's if I feel like this is kind of interesting or it might be worth sharing I share it in my content and Over time you just get pieces of my story here and there Meaning of my own journey you get pieces of it here and there over months and years You see because like I said, I'm kind of too lazy to be clever at storytelling in any one article or video Yeah, I'm sure I can practice it Maybe come back to me in three to five years in the half a storytelling course But right now I don't and I just I just basically and this is a benefit for all of you who are also not clever storytellers Which is basically most of us aren't Well, if you're not a clever storyteller, you basically can do it on the long term Bring the audience on by just telling so this is why I really appreciate what Gary Vaynerchuk has said which made a big difference in my life when I heard it years ago, which is to document Not create what what he meant by that is We often get stuck and intimidated when we think we have to create great content. Oh I've got to create great content and it's like well, gosh, it's Provotes anxiety and all that stuff but instead document Rather than create means you just simply document your journey. You just simply say this is what I'm learning right now This is what I'm going through. Has anyone does anyone have that experience? You know, this is what I've discovered Does it has anyone? You know, is this helpful for people or have has anyone else discovered this too? Hey, this is what I've been reading recently. This is what I learned from what I read. This is the video I recently watched. This is what I got from that video. You document your journey along the way and he gave an example of Let's say you want to become a you know, world-class chef Let's say and you don't know how to cook So you document your journey by making a video blog every day of you messing up on on your cooking It's like all right today. I'm gonna try to cook, you know Some water no or today I'm gonna try to make make some spaghetti and then you like completely mess it up and it's like all right Well, I learned something today and you know not to put this into that or whatever And you just document your every single day you document your journey and then within a year or two You have an audience of people not everyone's gonna watch every day obviously But people will catch it now every now and then and kind of see your progress and those who kind of are fascinated by your progress We'll kind of watch some of the earlier episodes and see wow look look at how far you've come and it's really satisfying Again, the payoff is satisfying because they've seen or they can see the how crappy used to be and then now how good you are Right and then it by documenting your journey now You have a fan base of people who watch your cooking and you can now sell cooking courses or You maybe create a restaurant and people, you know fly in from all over the world or whenever they're visiting your seat They're like oh my gosh, that's the vlogger. That's the blogger vlogger Influencer creator content creator that I watch all the time I'm gonna go and check out their restaurant You see what I mean like like document instead of create is essentially what I've been doing For since 2015 when I finally dedicated myself to creating content on a regular basis. I just I'm gonna share What's on my mind and I know it's not perfect Never gonna be perfect because perfect is an illusion or rather you are already perfect Your current state is the perfect the perfection of all of your life experience date What else is perfection except the way that it comes out right now? Obviously you can always polish it more by you know doing multiple takes on a video or you could edit your article several times How much you edit how much you how many takes you do is up to you and it's I'll just say that the more takes you do of a video or the more editing you do of an article The more dangerous it gets because you fall more into this illusion of perfectionism But if you dedicate yourself to documenting rather than creating you say, okay I'm gonna show up today, and I know that if I show up every single day every single day I'm gonna naturally become more confident in my communication whether it's on video or on writing or on Instagram or on a podcast or whatever. I'm just gonna become more more You know used to doing the the documenting every single day and then I'll learn from my You know documenting journey and so will my audience at first I'm gonna get zero views for the first six months and then the seventh month one person finds me and then the eighth month Three other people find me and then by the 12th month. I have 10 viewers and then by the 18th month. I have 85 viewers and by the you know three year mark I have you know 300 viewers and now I can actually sell a coaching program or a online course or a group Thing or a one-to-one service It takes three years I'm sorry that nobody told you because you're being sold by these marketing coaches who are saying Set up your coaching program in 30 days and get all your clients Etc. Now those of you who need to get clients ASAP you first go into your network and ask your friends and Beg your friends and colleagues to please send you clients because you need clients right now You can do that because you're not a marketing coach. I'm a marketing coach I can't beg anyone to send me clients because that makes me look bad like George Aren't you supposed to know marketing? But if you're not a marketing coach, you can beg your friends and family and colleagues Please I bad at marketing send me clients and you'll get your first batch of clients that way while you're doing that Take the three years to create every single day every single day Let me let that sink in Every single day Now you can take the weekend off if you want to when I first started creating videos and articles I created every single day for a year Naturally, I'm sorry I created every single day for six months and then I went down to three times a week three new things a week You know three new videos and three new articles a week and then I eventually Peter down to two a week And now I'm doing one new thing every two weeks because I have so many old things I just repost all the time so every single day What's the big deal? Really, it's like do you not have 15 minutes a day to document what you learned today? Do you really not have 15 minutes a day? You know, of course you have 15 minutes a day. What else are you doing surfing social?  I mean, what seriously what do you really you have 10 kids you have 10 children and you have to take care of elderly parents and you have three jobs You can still find 15 minutes a day probably honestly Okay, you know, maybe you're making the video while you're in the on the toilet Whatever you could still find 15 minutes a day because you're not you know surfing the web or whatever it is I know you have to relax. I know you have to unwind But you can but but if you if you think of it as documenting, it's nothing serious and You can be embarrassing Raise your hand with me.  I mean, what we're gonna get perfect and a polish and professional before you get out there Wait until you take five more training so you can be polished and professional and got your all ducks You know in a row and got your act together It's never gonna happen because once you take those courses you realize oh my god I've got so many more courses I got to take. Oh god. I got to get so many more I got the things that that is the illusion of preparation.  There's no more getting ready.   Thank you And you just go away, right?  We can stop watching. That's what they do to you, too They're not gonna go man. That was cringeworthy.  They're just insensitive thoughtless person You know callus or maybe they had a bad day. They might say something like that That's like one out of in the blue moon. You might get a mean comment. Are you but be okay with that? I mean, yeah, it might the mean comment might throw you off for a whole week I get it, but it's only one week of being thrown off Go back and make the videos the very next week or write your articles that are cringeworthy. You see what I mean like I'm completely off of what my original topic was by the way Which is the benefit of making live videos that where I feel like I can just riff on it because you can just go read the article later on my blog Originally, I was talking about bringing people on a journey and I guess it is still that instead of Instead of expecting that you're gonna create your perfect product service package framework idea Business in isolation like work for a couple years to make the perfect website the perfect this the perfect course the perfect Coaching package but above work for even a month is too long in isolation You should never create an isolation. You always create and go. Hey, I'm thinking of putting this coaching package together First of all, I don't even know what topic I should be doing. I have these 10 topics I could I could start a business on which of these 10 topics. Do you all think friends and family? Let's start with friends and family because we're the only ones who pay attention to you right now Which of these 10 topics do you think I should create a business around? I don't have any clients. Which of these 10 topics should I coach on? Should I sell a service on? Should I create a group program on which of these 10 topics?    Which of these 10 might I sell? Some of you need to just do that right now because you like I don't Can't get enough clients George. Well, you're not selling anything that people want Or at least your people want isn't George. No, no, no, I'm dedicated to selling this I've spent too many years studying this to them dedicated selling a fine. Then you have to take your audience on a journey You have to keep documenting what you're learning about this. You have to keep showing up every day every day Not Monday and Thursdays because I you're too busy not once a month Come on. How do you bring people on journey if you just do once a month or even once a week is not enough? Every single day every single day Not everyone's gonna catch everything obviously some people might only catch something once a month It's true, but they'll see your transformation because you're gonna transform a lot faster If you create every day and bring people on the journey every this is my this is my 15 minutes today You know and in 15 minutes you might only you might have to do three takes of one video and only end up with a two-minute video You did three takes and you have to you spent nine minutes. Let's work out the numbers here 15 minutes a day Okay, you spent nine minutes thinking about what you're gonna say on video Okay, what am I gonna nine minutes is enough time in my in my video course.  It's plenty of time to think about what you're gonna say Hmm, okay, I'm gonna say these three things and this is the major topic the main topic I'm gonna say these little tiny three things. Okay, great And then you have six minutes to do three takes of a two-minute video You see what I mean like 15 minutes a day. You just do that. It's a two-minute video We just document your journey. This is this is what I learned today about this field or this is what I You know try today and it didn't work I'll try again tomorrow. You know what I mean? So Will you do this will you bring your audience on a long-term journey? While you're figuring how to do storytelling like I am in one single video But besides, you know, don't don't worry about storytelling right now and becoming great at it You could it's fine. Those of you who are selling storytelling courses I apologize You can still sell the courses people can take it from you and learn faster and get better content faster But for those of us who are bad storytellers, just do the long-term thing Commit to long-term while you beg your friends and family for clients get some first clients and then long-term three-year journey Before you get the next client, okay? Three-year journey now you might probably you'll probably honestly get clients before then but give yourself three years three years Okay Every single day now you can Peter out to three times a week after six months like I did you could follow that Journey if you want to but you gotta do every single day for the first six months. Otherwise, you're not gonna get Sharp enough about making videos or writing articles. You just won't 15 minutes a day. That's all you need Whatever comes out in the 15 minutes you publish it. You have to publish it. Otherwise, how are you documenting? Publicly journal publicly document your journey. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching


I want to walk with him in such a way that even in the midst of the most difficult circumstances, I have a firm foundation that I'll cling to him even when life throws at me unexpected tragedy and trials. Not saying, God, where are you? Where have you been? Not allowing myself to get bitter and angry at God for not doing everything exactly like I thought he should, but instead letting him purify you in those seasons where you feel like he's not there.


Hello everyone, I'm Alicia Woodruff and welcome to the Fort Report. Did you know that the Fairmount Tour of Homes is coming up? Well, Chelsea Thornton is here to talk to us about the event. The 30th annual Fairmount Tour of Homes is coming up on May 12th and 13th and we're really excited to present nine amazing properties. We have fixed restored homes, a business that has been restored, a work in progress that will give you a behind the scenes look at a home restoration and a great newly constructed property. The home tour is for a number of different demographics. A lot of people choose to bring their mothers to the event. It's a great trip to take over Mother's Day weekend. And in addition to touring the homes, the Fairmount area has a lot to offer including all sorts of wonderful restaurants on Magnolia Avenue and a food truck rally in Fairmount Park. The annual home tour supports the Fairmount Neighborhood Association which is a non-profit organization which is dedicated to preserving the history of the Fairmount Neighborhood, but the architecture and the community spirit. Picking the houses is an incredibly difficult task. The Fairmount Neighborhood is blessed to have a huge variety of beautifully restored homes. In this year we had so many that were nominated. It took the committee a long time to choose. We start by touring each of the nominated homes and making a list of how accessible the homes are going to be. We also try to get a variety of different interior styles and exterior styles to give visitors a good representation of all that Fairmount has to offer. Tickets are available online at historicfairmount.com or at a number of different locations around town including the Butler's Antiques, Montgomery Street Antiques Mall, Old Neighborhood Grill and the Old Home Supply House all around the Fairmount neighborhood. On the day of the event, ticket holders are encouraged to pick up their tour booklets at Seneca Studios located at 10,013 West Magnolia Avenue. Once you've got your tour program, you're welcome to start taking the tour at your own pace. The tour is technically walkable. We'll be offering complimentary pedicab rides for tour attendees to get through the neighborhood a little easier. We hope that you can make it to the Fairmount Neighborhood Association's 30th annual tour of historic homes over Mother's Day weekend May 12th and 13th. Thank you, Chelsea. Tickets are only $12 if ordered in advance and $18 on the day of the tour. For more information about the Fairmount Tour of Homes and more, just visit their website.
