I'm Beth Lyles. I am an internal medicine physician and a primary care researcher at the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research. Well, I am a primary care physician, so I understand the demands and the challenges of the job. A person comes in, they have the reason that made them schedule the appointment in the first place. It could be that they have a sinus infection, or that the person has just fallen and injured her hip, or maybe a skin condition, so it's really important that they take the time to diagnose that correctly and counsel the person. But then also it's really important to pay attention to chronic conditions, like diabetes, and make sure that's being managed adequately. We always try to take the opportunity to screen and try to prevent diseases like colorectal cancer and breast cancer, so it's a lot to do in a short visit. As a primary care researcher, my focus is on topics that will enable us to be more effective as primary care physicians. For example, one of the projects I'm working on is how do you effectively and efficiently talk about mammography screening for breast cancer with women in their 40s? Because the guidelines about this differ. Some of the guidelines say that women should start screening every year or every other year in their 40s, and other guidelines say that it's not that simple. We should talk about it, we should talk about the benefits, the benefits being a small chance of detecting breast cancer, the risks being the false positive result, radiation exposure, anxiety, worry, all of those things. How do we discuss that in primary care? Quickly, accurately, so there are decision aids that help us and I'm reviewing them and trying to test out different ones and compare them to figure out what's best. I like to exercise when I'm not working and when I'm not spending time with my family. I swim, I run sometimes, I lift weights quite a bit, and I like to ride a bicycle. But I just like the process of training for something, of seeing my incremental progress. There's just something about that systematic process that is appealing to me and satisfying to me. It's a little bit like research actually. I can actually appreciate when I've written something a little more succinctly or summarized something a little more coherently or come up with an idea that's new.


This is stock number 7J322A, the all-new Jeep Compass 2017. This vehicle has a 2.4 liter multi-air motor. This is a complete redesign for the Compass, and from this HD video you'll be able to tell that this Compass is extremely clean all the way around. Like new, you could say, it has factory fog lights, projector lamp headlamps, Falcon Wild Peak 21565R17 tires, and they are on the painted and polished aluminum alloy rims. These tires have just about all the tread left, as this car only has about 1,500 miles on it. This is a trail-hawk package, so you get the red-toe hooks in the front, the blacked-out grille, the black decal on the hood, passenger side rim and tires in excellent shape. No scuffs or scrapes on that. And as you go down this side of the Compass, you can see just how clean the body is, how reflective the paint is. We take these HD videos so if you are far away, or if you're close by and just can't make the trip down, you can still see the vehicle, hear the vehicle, and have confidence in what you're looking at before you even get here. It has the painted black roof, is accustomed to the trail-hawk package. You also get the vista roof on this one.  If there are any dents, if there are any dings, if there's any imperfections in the paint, this one's absolutely perfect. Back tires are like new as well, and the back rim is in perfect condition as well. It has the capitalist fuel fill. Billet silver is the color. Back bumper is very clean as well. It does have backup sensors. You've got the red tow hook, and that's like a powder-coated paint on there. It has a receiver hitch and four-pin wiring. No dents or dings in the rear tailgate or bumper. This is a power raise gate, so you just press the bottom there. If you've got the key fob, you can click it open. Back storage area, very, very clean. That is the factory floor mat back here. We've got Beats Audio with the subwoofer right there, and you get a spare tire with the trail-hawk package. Power down gate, and then those seats do fold down, which we'll check out in a second to give you a bunch of extra storage. It'll beep at you three times, and then she'll come on down. We've got the grayed-out Jeep lettering for the trail-hawk package as well. And down this side, the vehicle just as clean as the passenger side. No dents, no dings, no scuffs, no scrapes, no scratches. Very, very clean vehicle. It does have the blind spot monitoring, along with the built-in directional signals. These mirrors are also heated. This is actually one of the most loaded up compasses you can get. On the outside, you get the black leather seats with the red stitching. Both these seats are heated. You get a power driver's seat with lumbar. We've got factory all-weather floor mats throughout. We've got the Beats Audio, once again, power windows, power locks, and power mirrors, auto headlamps. As you can see, this vehicle has 1,380 miles. You get the 7-inch TFT display with all the compass, temperature, digital speedometer, all that. You get the heated leather-wrapped steering wheel. You get cruise control on that side. You have your Bluetooth audio and controls for the center console right there. We have the 8.4 touchscreen radio. This is the new generation of the radio. So it has Android Auto and Apple CarPlay capabilities. Here are your heated seat buttons and your heated steering wheel controls. This is also where your backup camera shows up. And then we also have AM, FM, and Sirius satellite radio capabilities.  Here's your backup sensors. This is your lane departure warning or lane departure assist. So what it will do is if you are going down the road, it'll be reading the lines. If you go outside the lines, it'll give the steering wheel a little tug to pull you back into the lines. You can turn that off, obviously.  That's a feature of the Trailhawk package. It just gives you a more robust four-wheel drive system. USB and auxiliary jack. And finally, down here we have the auto start-stop. So what happens when you come to a stop sign?  When you come to a stop. And all the conditions are right to save you fuel. Pass and receipt very clean as well. No rips or tears on that. Just a little piece of fuzz on there. But a factory all-weather floor mat on that side. You get the SOS and assist buttons. And up here we have the power vista roof, which is a really cool feature. Really airs out the vehicle. Gives it a lot of light in here. You can see it opens up all the way back to there. And then this glass will actually open up as well. Dual pane glass and vista with the sunroof. Very cool feature. We'll check out the back seats. And then we'll check out under the hood. Keyless entry, remote start. Also part of the features on this vehicle. Back seats are very clean as well. No rips or tears back here. Leather is in excellent shape.

Hello everyone, I'm Yenivu Diya Viedi and today I want to talk to you about two things. First, I want to talk about my experts in China and mainly about the English level of the audience there. And also I want to talk about my experts as well as the Esperanto translator here in Sydney. So first, two years ago I had to travel to China to meet my father-in-law. But before I left, of course often I heard of different places, but also I read in newspapers that many people study English in China and can speak the language. In fact, I read there. I don't remember the source, but I read that in China there are more English speakers than in Australia. So of course many of them interested me when I read about it. And when I wanted to go to China, I asked my father-in-law whether there were many English speakers there. And he said, oh really, many people really study English, but I don't know what kind of people really can speak it. And I said, well, good, good. So of course not everyone can speak it, but everyone must study it. So when we traveled to China, the next week I just sat at the house of my father-in-law. And sat there and heard a lot, because I couldn't speak the Chinese well. And they couldn't understand or speak English at all. So we just sat there and they texted me. And maybe they thought to themselves, do we really want this white woman to marry our beautiful daughter? But no, really, everything went well there. But next week my father-in-law said to me, oh, do you want to meet my mother-in-law? Because, in fact, she spent four years in the US, so maybe she can speak English well. And I said, oh, good, I finally can speak my own language. So we went to the restaurant and I was very excited that finally I can speak the language or the English. And we sat there and I almost immediately started speaking to her cook. And not everything went well. But one after the other, when I started speaking about extracurricular affairs, she suddenly stopped and then suddenly couldn't speak any more. And then, of course, I turned to my father-in-law and said, I think she can speak English. It seems that she can speak about basic affairs sufficiently well, but besides that she had a lot of problems. And then my father-in-law started speaking Chinese and we found out that she did. When she was in US and at the university, she simply went to the classroom, sat there and listened to the teacher, but she didn't understand at all. She didn't understand at all. She simply sat there and understood the whole time. And then she went home to the apartment and sat there and studied a lot, watched the study books. Because she probably didn't learn anything in class, so now she has to study. And she studied in the depths of the night. And in fact she passed all the exams. So she was very impressed by me. But then she came to China and wanted to work as a translator in international business. Because it seems that everyone in China wants to work in international business. She is very deep, not deep. She is very impressed, if you can do that. But she can't speak English well enough to do that. And now she actually works as an English teacher in international business. So it's very interesting that a bad speaker of English has to teach English to non-speakers of English. So that probably won't go well, won't it? But it's interesting. And then I met other friends of my father-in-law and almost everyone can speak English. And then we traveled to China. And I noticed that in Beijing, everyone can speak English. When you are in Beijing, there are a few good speakers of English. But it seems that they work in very high positions in international business. So it seems that they studied abroad a lot to achieve that position. And also I noticed that the most part of the business, international business, in fact, it just extends to foreign countries. So, for example, they extend to Russia. Many people come to Russia. And the US and Britain and Australia, of course. So it seems that not that many people can speak English. And when they can already speak it, they can't find work because they just extend to foreign countries and take it. So it's interesting. Now, the second part of this video blog. Now, I want to talk about my time as a translator here in Sydney. So, a year or two years ago, I came to Sydney, a Chinese comedian who wanted to come here and make some investments and also buy an apartment for his nephew. Because after some time his nephew came to Sydney to study at the University of Sydney. And he wanted to have a proper apartment. So he came here, saw the landscape and also wanted to meet the Esperantists here. So he came to the Esperanto house and of course I spoke to him. I spoke to him and I found that he actually has a very rich, naked, interested, competent entrepreneur. And after that I spoke with the other Esperantists and one other guy came to the meeting. And he's not an Esperantist but he's an entrepreneur. He owns a proper, interested company. And when he found out that he owns a naked entrepreneur, he wanted to talk to him. So he went to him and spoke English to him, but of course he couldn't answer. And he thought that I was a translator. Well, I had to sit for two hours and I almost translated and I had to translate the most different topics. I had to translate things about contracts, about international relations, about computer things. And I had to do everything from my head.  I almost never studied those things and then I found myself in a situation where I had to quickly and from the head to talk about those things and translate them into two people. And in fact, everything was discussed and it shocked me so much that I could do it. And I noticed that there are many topics that I don't have to talk about in Esperanto. But I could create enough words to express those things. And when I did that, when I met the Chinese speaker and also an Esperantist, he totally understood me. And he did it himself. He did it himself. He created different words. And I totally understood what he wanted to say and I translated it. And we talked very quickly with each other and everything went very well. And at the end of the two-hour discussion they came to a few decisions about what they wanted to do. So it was very good and also very productive. So I really liked Esperanto and he showed it and he proved it to me that you can use Esperanto as a translator even if you don't ever work as a translator before. You don't have to use a whole language to do that. So it was very interesting Esperanto and I just wanted to talk about it. So that's all. If you liked this film, like it, share it, subscribe to my channel and don't forget to subscribe. And I'll see you in the next film.  I just wanted to thank you for watching my films.  Because I just like to hate people. So have a good day and I'll see you in the next film.


What is going on everybody? It is Monday morning, the first of February, starting another month. Can you believe that already in 2021? After all the stuff that happened in 2020, we're already through a solid month in 2021. And today is gonna be kind of interesting. And of course you could ask me any questions about your business. This live that I'm doing in the mornings is really just to kind of get your day going to kind of help you guys out. Let's see who we got. Siddharth here, what's going on, buddy? We got the Leonidie Squad. Not quite sure what that is. That's very cool. This is just back from a business webinar. Wow. Hey guys, Siddharth is 12 years old. So he's just back from a business webinar. But today we're gonna talk a little bit about Joe Rogan's secrets. You know, he's been terribly successful. If you don't know who Joe Rogan is, I'll fill you in on that just a second. But man, there's a lot to learn from that guy. But any questions you have about your business, put those in that chat section there. Matter of fact, let me just put it here. Stick in there. Put all your questions about making money online here. So guys, you'll see that there. That should just pop up. And I really appreciate buddy being here. I really appreciate your attention.  And that's what we're doing. You know, it's all about learning how to make money online. I was looking at some of my statistics the other day and it had to do with my earnings on ads on this channel. Excuse me. And as of this morning, it was $36, CPM, $36 CPM. Now I was listening to a person the other day who was like a life blogger and they're huge. They got millions of followers, much bigger than myself. But their CPM was $1.63. So that shows you the value of the people that watch this channel. You guys are worth more than anybody else because of what you do. Let's see here. Everyone doesn't say my name right. Anyway, it's fine. I'm so sorry. I apologize for that. I think that's disrespectful if you can't say somebody's name, but by the same token I don't wanna not try it. Says they love my videos. I really appreciate that so much. It's really kind of you to say. I wanna talk a little bit, like I said about Joe Rogan today and I made some notes and I hope you don't mind. I'm gonna look off to the side here and pull up my notes on him. But let's see what we can find out about Joe Rogan here. Joe Rogan, I got so much notes on this guy. I mean, he was so interesting. If you don't know who he is, Joe Rogan is the most popular podcaster in the entire world.  Let's see, what is it? Squad says, no, it's fine. It's my hard glass name. Oh, okay. All right, where are you located at? Put it, everybody, where you're located at now. I think this is always interesting to me. Joe Rogan actually was born in 1967 and he's 53 years old right now. He just made a deal with Spotify for $100 million. Now it's easy to sit back and be in awe of somebody like him, but oh, Siddharth says he started his own podcast. Really? Well, tell us what your podcast is. But when you look at somebody like Joe Rogan, he's done a lot. He's tried a lot of things. And I think that's one of the first key takeaways we're gonna look at. He's a martial artist. He got beat up as a kid and decided that he didn't like that feeling. So he learned martial arts and became one of the top martial artists in the country actually at one point. He was on a TV show called Fear Factor. Some of you may remember that. Lonely Squad, 1993. I started my own podcast. Okay, 1993. Is that when you were born? 1993? Trying to piece this together here. He says, well, Siddharth, he's impressed too. But so what he did was he was a host of Fear Factor. In addition to that, he was a martial artist, which I just said. In addition to that, he wanted to be a comedian. So he started doing that. And then he started a podcast from his living room. He had no intention of it ever going anywhere or doing anything. Let's see here. It is a podcast where I talk about business stocks, sports, gaming, and just a fun podcast to interact. That's cool. Well, tell us where your podcast is, Siddharth. Maybe somebody wants to listen to that. So Joe Rogan, I would say one of the first keys to his success, if you wanna look at it, and you can look at any people that are really successful, is they try a lot of different things. They try a lot of different things. They're not always successful at every single thing they do, but they try a lot of things. So the first step, I would tell you guys, is what have you tried? What have you done? I know I've had a lot of stuff that failed. I started off selling cell phone cases online. I've been a public speaker, which actually did very well, but I had to quit doing that because I got custody of my kids. Couldn't be on the road. In my past, if you really wanna go far back, see, I was a dishwasher in high school. I did do that. I bagged groceries at a grocery store. I drove a forklift in a pickle factory of all things. I was a bartender. I was a waiter. I was a busboy. I was a stockbroker at one point. I am a pilot. I ran a air charter service at one point where we flew air ambulance and private air charters. I was in the car business. I sold cars. I was a finance manager, used car manager, a new car manager, general sales manager. I was a vice president of an automotive group and now I sell stuff online. So I would tell you that you gotta try different things. You just gotta try different things. And I wanna pull out some more of the facts about him because he really is an interesting guy. Like I say, he just did a deal which they estimate. Nobody really knows. A hundred million dollar deal for his podcast to be on Spotify, which I thought was pretty interesting. He did go to college. He participated in Taekwondo and karate. I did Taekwondo as a kid too. But he was good at it. He even won the U.S. Open Championship Tournament for Taekwondo, which is pretty amazing because those guys are pretty good. He had a severe head injury at the age of 19 that when decided that maybe that sport wasn't for him because you can actually get hurt. Let's see, what type of products did you sell as a speaker? Paul's asking that question. I didn't sell any products. Actually, I ran a dealership called McCune Chrysler in National City, California. We ended up becoming the number one Chrysler dealership in the state of California. We were number three in the nation. And based on that, I was training people how to make six figures a year selling cars. And I got really good at training people how to sell. So I started a seminar business where I traveled around the country and I trained all the top dealerships. I would usually have 200 people in a room a day, two days back to back and give them a nice buffet lunch and I spoke for like six or seven hours on how to make six figures selling cars. So that's what I did, Paul. How many talks have you did? Oof, oof, wow. Well, I was doing that for eight or nine years and I would do usually six or eight cities a month but each city I was in there for six weeks. So I was going on tour eight months out of the year training automotive dealerships. And now I had their managers.  So we had a pretty large group of people now that I would train, but we had really good results. We had a lot of people who would attend and hit that six figure mark, which is what a lot of them want to do. But we have people making a quarter million a year two selling cars, which is good money for a car salesman. Nowadays, I don't know what it is. I got out of the automotive business and well, I got out of it twice. I got out of it once to go speak on the road. And then I went custody of my kids. So I had to go back to the car business because I had to be in town. And when I was speaking, I was touring across the country and you couldn't be touring all the time.  And then I would go into the dealerships during that six weeks period of promotion. And I had sales reps that worked for me too, but I would go in and do sales meetings probably four or five days a week. So just thousands and thousands of meetings, literally thousands. This channel here, I think we hit, I don't know, 760 videos the other day. So I've done a bunch of videos on here and they're all about 10 or 15 minutes long. I would say the first 400 aren't that good. I finally figured out what to do and what you guys wanted within the past probably a year and a half, something like that. And they've improved dramatically since not even a year and a half. I'd say just a little over a year. Let's see here, this is, well, that's great. How many talks I answered that one. I answered how many products. Let's get back to Joe real quick here. Joe has also become one of the top comedians in the country and he is funny guys. If you get a chance to listen to Joe Rogan, listen to him. So anyhow, he started this podcast in his living room and he just started interviewing people he thought was interesting. He'd bring them in that sit down and then just talk about stuff. His podcasts are not like this clinical, templated type podcast you hear of most places. His, I don't know if you watched him or not, but if you have, you'll notice it's more like you're sitting in on a conversation with a good friend. You know, it's just, he's just kind of sharing his ideas, they share their ideas. He doesn't always agree with the person he's interviewing, which I think is super important. You know, what kind of podcast is it if you're always agreeing with the people and you always pick people that you agree with and you always think the same way. That's boring, you know, you need a little bit of conflict, stuff like that. That's what you need. So, you know, he started doing that and he got really good at it. He got really good at it because it was interest in people. So, that's something I'm gonna tell you to use as a takeaway here guys. How interested are you and other people? How interested are you in their life? The number one way you can get somebody to like you is act interested in them. And I mean, genuine interest, okay? You can't fake it. But if you have genuine interest in another human being and you care about them, they know that.  Let's see, Paul says his first ones are horrible but he refined it. Yeah, well, we're always gonna be horrible in the beginning, right? My first ones were horrible. And I'm sure I'm gonna look back five years from now and look at this one and go, oh my gosh, I could have corrected this. I could have done this and I could have done that. But you know, that's the problem is that prevents a lot of people from doing stuff that they could become really good at. They could be amazing at it. You know, I didn't do a lot of sports as a kid but as I got a little bit older I got more into Taekwondo and I really enjoyed that and got better at it. But initially I wasn't good at it, you know? And initially you won't be good at stuff, guys. You know, you have to try stuff. You have to give your effort. You know, you have to really put forth a lot of effort. Last night after dinner, I said, well, you know, I didn't exercise on Sunday. I normally don't exercise on Sundays. And we have this thing called a mix bike. And I said, well, I'll go ahead and get on that. And you know, you have a choice of a 10 minute, 15 minute, 20 minute, 30 minute, 45 minute or one hour workout. And you know, I clicked on the one hour workout and there were only three in there. There were only three and there's like hundreds of the other ones. And it shows that most people will commit to 15 or 20 minutes, but an hour is crazy, right? So I did the hour and it was just a bike ride. I mean, it was not a big deal but it's a narrated bike ride where there's somebody on the screen and they're telling you what to do and what heart rate zone you should be in and all that good stuff. And I finished it and I burned 825 calories. And I was really happy about that because I was like, I'm doing something extra. And the guy that was actually the host of it, you know, said something funny. He says, I know you're committed because not too many people pick an hour workout. Not too many people will do that. And that's true and they won't and they won't because that takes a lot of commitment. So the next thing I'll tell you about Joe Rogan is he kept doing that podcast guys. He had a commitment level that was off the charts. He didn't care if people liked it, didn't like it. That wasn't the point. The point was he was interested in it and he wanted to do it and he was doing something he was interested in. And I wanna look through here. I've got some other notes on him I think was terribly interesting. He was on, he got his breakthrough actually in 1995 on a sitcom called News Radio where he actually was an actor and he kind of was finding this foot as a comedian at the same time. And then he became a UFC backstage post interviewer in 1997. So now he's also a sports interviewer. So he's not just trying one thing guys. He's trying all these different things. And this is true with somebody like a Elon Musk. This is true with anybody who's super successful. They just try a lot of different things. Let's see here, what else they have in here. Rogan hosted the show from 2001, 2006. A show called Fear Factor if I don't know if you guys remember that but it was wildly popular.  And I was a single dad so I was always trying to come up with something fun for. But that was really cool. Let's see, so important to take action and revise later, yeah. I mean, cause you don't know what works in the beginning. It's impossible. And if you only did things that always worked how boring would that be? I mean, it doesn't feel like an accomplishment even. Every single thing you did worked out, always worked out. I mean, I wouldn't even want to try anything. I really wouldn't. I mean, most of the things I do now is I want to see if it'll work. I want to see if it'll work. It's kind of cool to see that. Let's see here. Yeah, somebody agrees with you, Paul. All right, let's get a little bit further into Joe Rogan here. See, so when he did Fear Factor it kind of gave him that national exposure that he needed. In 2001 was really one of his best years because he did the Fear Factor. He went back to his UFC job doing that. And let's see, Dana White actually hired him as a broadcaster at that time and commentator.  And if you think about it, you never know where you're going to use these skills. I mean, Joe Rogan did Taekwondo and karate and all that.  Let's see, I am finally definitely. Well, good, good. Let's see here. Let's see, I'm gonna look through some of his stuff. In 2010, he became one of the top 100 podcasts on iTunes, okay? He had over 16 million, 16 million downloads. That's insane. And then he of course in 2020 he announced his deal with Spotify. He didn't say it was $100 million, but that was what was reported. So I'm not quite sure, you know, how much he actually makes, but I'm sure it's a good amount of money. I know he just bought a $14 million mansion in Austin where we're moving to. A lot of celebrities are going to Austin, it's a great town. So his main sources of income are earnings from his career as a comedian, which he still makes a ton of money. Paychecks from TV and movie roll salaries from UFC as a color commentator, which is interesting. Income from the Joe Rogan experience and $100 million deal with Spotify. So he's got a lot of stuff going on. A couple of little things about him personally. In 2003, he bought a $2.2 million mansion. This is sorry about my writing. Oh no, believe me. You probably speak more languages than I do. I appreciate any comments that you put in there. Guys, any and all comments in there really helps me out. So please, everyone who's listening now, if you like what's going on, you like what's being said, you're enjoying the podcast, I'm saying it's a podcast now because Joe Rogan's the live, whatever it is. Just put in there that you're enjoying it. You like it. I have a question, put that in there too. And it was also reported that he spent $14.4 million, like I said, for a mansion in Austin, Texas. And that's a far cry from just being a karate guy and trying to do some stand-up comedy and all that stuff. Now I want to talk about his car collection. I made a special note of this because I thought this was really interesting. If you're in the cars, I'm gonna sit up here real quick. Let me change my screen here so I can kind of see my notes. Here we go, boom. Okay, I'm good to go there. So listen to this. He owns a $75,000 Barracuda. I didn't know they cost that much. Well, I know they didn't originally, okay, when I was a kid. That's only one of his exotic cars, okay? He says here, his car collection includes a Porsche 911 GT3 RS, whatever the heck that is. I know what a Porsche 911 is. MK4 Toyota Supra, a Ford Bronco, a Ford Mustang, a BMW M3, a Chevrolet Nova. We had a Nova when I was a kid. That was made fun of because Nova in Spanish means no go. And they tried to sell it in Mexico and nobody would buy them. They couldn't figure out why. A Tesla Model S, a 1965 Corvette Stingray and a Plymouth Barracuda. That's what's known. Who knows what else he's got going on. I mean, he could have all kinds of stuff. Let's see here. So many successful people have common traits, persistence. They have a plan and take action just like you can't learn to swim without getting in the water. No, that's true. And you're gonna fail in the beginning. You're not gonna do well. And it's scary. And I think that swimming is a good analogy because anybody who swims know it's scary the first time. I remember my dad teaching me. It was scary. We were at the Navy enlisted pool and he kinda threw me in and said, this is what you gotta do and taught me how to do that. Now some other things about Joe, if you're interested in Joe, which I am, let's see here. Occupation, his wife, his wife. Her name is Jessica Ditzel and she was born July 18th, 1975. She's a TV producer and model but she was actually a waitress. That's where she started out, okay? So wherever you're starting out, it doesn't matter where you start out. It matters what direction you're going guys. I see a lot of people say, well, I'm just a cashier or I just work at McDonald's or I'm just a bagger or I'm just a waitress. No, that's just what you're doing right now. That's not who you are. The direction you're going in and how hard you work in that direction, that's what's gonna make all the difference in the world. She does have two children with Joe Rogan. Now he's very secretive about that. I will tell you that. See, she was born in Sugarland, Texas so that may have something to do with the fact that he's moving to Texas, right? She got a degree in arts and technical theater from California State University. She also says she's got a second degree in psychology and molecular and cellular biology. Okay, so there goes the myth that models aren't smart. Obviously she's pretty darn smart. The lonely squad says, what was your first talk?  I will tell you in the late 80s, I was a manager at the Chrysler dealership. I ended up managing, being the general sales manager and I was a used car manager and the general sales manager always did the sales meetings. He was really good at it. He could motivate people and he was very well-spoken and I was not, okay? I was not a speaker. I was not the kind of person who could get up and talk to people or, and matter of fact, in high school I wouldn't even get up and read from a book. I would rather get a failing grade than do that because it was so embarrassed. And it came to be one day that he was going to retire. He was gonna stop working at the dealership, go out on his own and do his own thing and he offered me the position of the general sales manager to run the car dealership.  I can't do that. I can't do it.  And I wanted that job really bad. I needed the money, you know? I was just, I needed the money. I had a lot of debts and stuff. And I really wanted that job. But the only way to get that job would be if I could be able to do those sales meetings, which I couldn't do. I couldn't do them, couldn't do those sales meetings. So I decided I was gonna work on it. So I got up early and went to what's called a Toastmasters meeting. I had to get up at, you know, six o'clock in the morning. I think I had to be there at seven, something like that. And every morning I would go to Toastmasters International and I would go up and I would learn how to speak in front of people. It was just so difficult for me, so very difficult. But after a while, I got pretty good at it and I started winning these little awards and ribbons and stuff. And I became good enough, I thought, to where I could take his job, become the general sales managers and do sales meetings.  And I got better and better at those sales meetings. And I got better and better and I got better and better and I started, you know, where people would wanna come to the sales meetings. It wasn't a matter of, oh my God, I'm going to go to the sales meeting this morning. I would have stories and I would have activities and I would work with people and I would show them how to do different things.  And I realized that it was kind of fun. So I started attending a lot of seminars on sales and stuff like that. And one in particular I really enjoyed was Jim Rohn. And I don't know if any of you guys know anything about Jim Rohn, he has since passed away, but put that in the chat section, if you know who Jim Rohn is. And I went to him and I watched him and I was like, wow, this guy is amazing because he would come up with no lights and no glitter or any of that. He just had this like notebook type thing. I guess it was his journal and he would slowly open it up and he would look at some of his notes and he would just talk. But he would just mesmerize the room with what you could do. He was a motivational speaker, I guess you could call him that. And I just thought, wow, that is so cool. What if I could actually do that for a living? What if I could just go around the country and just talk and make a living? So I set out and my first city was Houston, Texas and I needed to sell 50 tickets to break even. And I think I was selling the tickets for $199 or something like that, it wasn't a lot of money. And I think I sold 21 or 22 tickets and I actually lost money. And it was pretty much a bust. I mean, I had some people show up, but it was not good. I mean, I spent six weeks marketing myself to sell 21 tickets and I didn't want to give up. I couldn't give up at the time because I'd quit my job. So the next city I went to, I'm trying to think where I went to Dallas after that, Dallas was much better. I think I sold 80 or 90 tickets. I actually made a profit in that kind of snowball. And for the next eight, nine years, I was on the road. I ended up hiring sales reps and they would market my seminars and I would go into a town and I would do back to back two days of talking when I had to sell cars and make money and a little bit of motivation too. And that really paid all my bills for many, many years. And that's what I did. I became a professional speaker. But the funny thing about the story, right? Do you remember the beginning? I was afraid to do a sales meeting. I was afraid to go up there and talk in front of all these people guys. So I don't know what your story is. And I look, I bring up Joe Rogan because he just tried thing after thing after thing. And some of them were really successful and I'm sure some of them weren't. And I've already talked about like some of the comedy sets he would do and they were just terrible and people would walk out and there'd be nobody in the room and nobody would laugh. They were laughing at him, not with him. So it really is a matter of, let's see, we've got to come in. Will you be holding an event in Texas when this is over? Your favorite car sales guys, Joe Gerard. I know of Joe Gerard. I don't know him, he's not a friend or anything like that. But he did stuff well years ago, like in the 60s, 70s.  I don't know if that would work, but that's the kind of stuff he talked about.  Oh, that's very kind of you.  And I think a lot of people want to talk in front of people, but they only want to show the good side of themselves. And quite honestly guys, we all have bad sides. There's nobody that's perfect all the time. It doesn't exist. And as soon as you realize that the people you're talking to aren't perfect and that you aren't perfect, it's kind of easy to talk to them. If you're honest, you know, just be honest. That's the biggest thing I would tell you. Jim Rohn was a great speaker and awesome books, but not crazy about his voice. Oh, I loved his voice. I loved his voice, that whiny kind of up and down. And what do you do? Yeah, yeah, I loved his voice. It was great. But see, there you go, right?  You know, and some people will pick on you for your voice. There's always somebody who's gonna try to bring you down. I'll tell you that people who normally try to bring you down have done nothing with their lives. They just haven't. And that's just what you helped me with. Oh, that's great. Oh man, it makes me feel good. I have this fear of marketing my shop, even on Instagram or Facebook, but I have to get over it if I wanna succeed. That's exactly right, Sama. Sama Muhammad. And tell me where you're from, too. We're getting a lot of people from around the world. I love, I love, love, love meeting people from around the world. I can't beg on the desk, it shakes the camera. But I love the different foods. You know, I love Middle Eastern food. I had some friends that were from Saudi Arabia when I was, gosh, 18 years old.  And I really got to where I love Middle Eastern foods. I later got into Iranian foods. I love some of their stuff, really, really good. The chila rice, I mean, just love it. I love international foods. It says, I'm in Toronto, Canada. Ooh, it's cold there now, isn't it? I bet it's cold. I bet it's really cold. Let's see here. Loinadi squad, I'm gonna try again. Because has a kid, my mom and dad are divorced and they got in fight every day and so I started watching your videos and it helped my family get back together again. Wow. I'm glad that happened. I'm sure what they're gonna do with me but I'm really glad that that happened. That's very good. Originally from Somalia.  I had a friend, I used to be on an ambulance in Virginia Beach, that was my volunteer work. She was from Somalia, beautiful woman and really, really nice person and yes, they have some great food too and I also love Ethiopian food, injurada. Oh my God, I love some Ethiopian food. Matter of fact, we had that just probably a few weeks ago. I made it at home because the Ethiopian restaurant I really liked here actually went out of business which was a shame. So it's really cool to see you guys from so many different places here. Let me get a sip real quick. And let's see if we got anything else on Mr. Rogan here. What's going on with him? Let's see, Joe Rogan didn't even like to, didn't want to be married until he met his current wife, Jessica. And I'll tell you, that's funny because I was married and divorced and I never wanted to get married again, never. Until I met my current wife and it was like, that was all I could think of. That's what I wanted because she was such a cool person. And that's the whole thing about marriage. You shouldn't be out there going, well, I just want to get married. You should find the right person. And if you find the right person you guys will actually help each other, move forward, grow, become better people. And she's done that for me, definitely. I would not have what I have without her. Let's see, they got married 2009, had a daughter, had a second daughter, 2010. So yeah, that's kind of like the background, Joe Rogan. Oh, and he's not super tall. And if you think you gotta be super tall I gotta plug this in. I see the power going away here. Whoa, let me get this real quick. All right, all right, we're charged up now. We're about to lose our power there in the middle of the live. We can't do that. So yeah, if you think you gotta be real tall, Joe Rogan's five foot seven. So you don't need that either. You don't need any of this stuff, okay?  Sean Stevenson, he passed away about a year and a half ago, he was confined to a wheelchair and one of the best motivational speakers I think I've ever seen in my life. He was really amazing. Paul says you definitely married up. Thanks, Paul. Let's see, Melvin Lunar says, I am scared of marriage. No, you're not. You're not scared of marriage. You just haven't met the right person. When you meet the right person, it's like that's what you'll want to do. You just will want to do that. If you're scared of marriage, that means you're probably around somebody who you shouldn't marry, you know, that's in my opinion. The squad, I'm for El Paso, Texas. El Paso's cool, it's cool. You know, we picked Austin because it's a digital marketing town. It's got really high growth and the weather's good. I mean, the weather's very similar to San Diego. Yeah, it's got humidity in the summertime. It's a little bit hotter. It's a little bit colder in the winter. But you know, like for example, today, if we just look at today alone, I'm gonna look up San Diego and I'm gonna look up Georgetown, Texas, which is where we're moving. We got a high of 65 today, a low of 45. And in Georgetown, where we got going on, there's a high of 62 and a low of 33. So not much difference from San Diego. I mean, not much difference at all. Guys, let's finish this up with any questions about your business, anything that you'd like to know about your business, anything you'd like to know about my business. You know, you're welcome to ask me any questions you want. See, I moved to Colorado at five years old. Oh, wow, okay. And how old are you now? Squad, how old are you now? I'm kind of curious. Are you from Pittsburgh? No, I'm not. I'm not from Pittsburgh. I actually was born in Norfolk, Virginia. My dad was in the military, so I lived in Cyprus, Nicosia, Western Germany, a whole bunch of weird places. I went to school in Memphis, Tennessee, high school. I also went to high school in Dinellen, Florida. Went to college in Norfolk, Virginia. Moved out to California and San Diego in the mid-80s and then moved back in the early 90s to Virginia. And then in 2000, well, 13, moved back to San Diego and now we're going to Texas. So you don't have to stay in one place. It's not necessary, right? But I now live in Pittsburgh. Okay, and you're 27, very, very cool. What do you do now for a living? I'm curious. Mr. Squad, I guess it is. It's not Mrs. It is gotta be Mr. but my daughter loves you. Your daughter and she is seven years old. Wow, that's amazing. And I'm so glad to hear that. I'm glad that you guys are getting something out of this. My son is five. Good for you, man. So you're, wow, you're lucky. You're very fortunate. You got a daughter and a son and that's enough to motivate anybody to do anything, right? I mean, this is something that's very, very cool and you really can't put anything on that as far as a value because it's just amazing. Let's see. Let's see what Salman, Muhammad has to say. You mentioned you used to sell the cell phone cases. How did that go for you? I am doing that now and will expand into other markets such as digital prints or Etsy once I master this or semi-master. Okay, don't go by what I did. I sucked at it.  When I started out, I looked and I saw that cell phone cases was the number one item selling on eBay so I reasoned that that should be pretty easy to do. It was not because at back then you had to buy like 50 or 100 of the same cell phone case then list them and then I would have to package them up and I would make like 50 cents or a dollar and then, you know, you would sell like 10 or 20 of the 100 that you bought and then all of a sudden people would switch their phones and that cell phone case was no longer needed and I took the cell phone cases and I put them in my closet and then I bought another 100 of another one and I ended up with a closet full of cell phone cases that I couldn't sell. So I'm not your poster child for that. However, I don't consider it a failure because from that, I learned how to sell on eBay and I learned how to list items. I learned how to set up my PayPal account. I learned how to ship items out. I learned all those things that were fundamental to the business I own now which is a survival food company where we do millions of dollars of products. But if I hadn't started selling cell phone cases first, you know, I needed that groundwork. Okay, I needed that groundwork of what you do kind of like Joe Rogan, you know, was a fighter and he ended up becoming a commentator later on. Like you never know how it's gonna help you. Let me get through some of these comments that are all zooming in here.  Yes, I did, Paul. And it wasn't much to add up. So it was pretty hard easy. I wasn't making any money in the beginning. So it was simple to do those taxes. Once you start making money, then you hire somebody, I guess. Let's see, I am a farmer, dance instructor and gymnast. Wow, that's pretty darn amazing. I am a ma'am. Okay, you're a ma'am, very cool.  I have a lot of friends on there. I would love to, you know, get to know you more and maybe I can help you out. Let's see here, just if you wanted to know. Yes, I do want to know who you are.  And that's another thing I'll tell you in your business, guys. Don't think of people as just a number or somebody you're gonna make money on or something like that. That's like the worst thing to do. I mean, look at them as your friends. I mean, I've had a lot of customers that have actually become friends of mine that I would get on the phone and talk to, you know, for a half hour an hour because they became friends. Let's see here. And let's see, when you started out selling online, where did you find products? Wow, all over the place. And I did have the, I guess, smarts to figure out, look and see what's selling on eBay and then find out where you could source that product. So that's kind of what I did. And then once I sourced it, I looked at what it was selling for versus what I had to pay for it and I thought, well, can I make a profit on it? If the answer was yes, I would go ahead and go for it with that product. But in that beginning, I didn't know anything about drop shipping. I don't even know if most of it existed. So I would have to buy inventory, pack it up and ship it out. And I really had a warehouse up until 2000. Of course, I started to replicate through 2010 and I think I had my warehouse up until 2014 maybe. And then I farmed that out to a big company in Utah. But I had warehouse people in their packaging stuff doing all that and now we just pay what's called a 3PL to do all that for us, which is nice. Let's see here. Oh, I am doing print on demand, so no inventory, which is good. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, if you're doing POD, that's a whole lot easier. Lonely Squad, Leon and Dee Squad is gonna contact me and we're gonna become friends on Facebook. My YouTube channel is this, my daughter uses it. Okay, I will check it out. Let me just take a quick picture of it so I can check it out. And if your daughter uses that, well, do you have any videos on their squad? Do you have any of your own? Or is it just your daughter? I'm gonna take a picture of the screen so I have it. Let's see here. I don't use social media, but I do use YouTube. Okay, well, that's cool. We can converse on YouTube, we'll be happy to do that. Guys, do you have any more questions about Mr. Rogan? Do you have any more questions that I can answer for you today? It's been a really good session. You guys have been so helpful and so nice. When you did your course, did you follow a template? Did you use Alibaba for any sourcing? Good questions there. I really didn't follow a template per se. I looked at people who were successful doing courses and how they set them up. Initially, my course, I think, was on Kajabi, which is where I started out. It's now on Cartra. Everything I have is on Cartra, guys. I mean, if you want the best marketing software in the world for the lowest price, you can't believe how cheap it is. Get Cartra. There'll be a link in the description once this video ends. It won't be there now, but when it ends, go there, you can watch a little video. My Cartra does, it does everything for you. You don't need any other softwares. Just get Cartra. And if you like it, you can actually get a $1 trial if you use my links, so check that out. I don't, but I will message you on YouTube. Okay, cool. Yeah, do that. I'd love to get a message or I'd love to talk to you. Sounds great. Also, guys, don't forget if you haven't, and I'm not marketing like I should, subscribe to the channel if you haven't done that. Go ahead, I want to give you a second to do that. Let me wait. Okay, you do it? Subscribe. Now, once you subscribe and you click that big red button that says subscribe, a bell's gonna show up next to it. Gotta ring the bell. What I mean by that is you gotta click the bell and you gotta turn on all notifications.  You don't have to come looking for anything. You don't have to waste any of your time. Let's see, when you sell a product, is there a formula to figure out price point to see if worth pursuing? Yeah, I mean there is and there isn't. First off, it's gotta be profitable. Profitable is am I gonna make more money that is gonna cost me to get this product to this individual? And what I mean by that is you gotta look at shipping cost, you gotta look at postage, you gotta look at your time. A lot of people don't factor in time. You gotta factor in time. When I was doing cell phone cases and I was making 50 cents or a dollar for every one I put in the package, obviously that was not worth my time, but it did teach me some things. Okay, I learned some things. You can never sit here real quick. But you also have to look at cost of your item. So if I were to say, oh, I wanna make 30% on everything, that would be ridiculous if I was selling a $1,000 item, because I don't need to make $300 on a $1,000 item. A lot of people will say, I need to make 30% on everything and all my products are $20 or less. Okay, so you're making $6 on your $20 products. And then I say, well, you could sell my food and I've had people do this and they were like, well, I'm only making 15% or 20% or 25%, whatever it is. And actually they make a lot more than that. And it's not enough because a percentage isn't high enough. I said, yeah, but you're selling $300 worth of an item, and if you're making, let's say 20%, that's $60 versus your $6 on your $20 item. Which would you rather do? And it's still the same amount of work. You're just taking one order, giving it to me and I ship it out. So you gotta look at how many of these items are you gonna sell, what's your volume and what is the cost of the item you're gonna sell, what. So don't just go by percentage of profits. That's what I would tell you, that's not exactly a clear answer, but that's how I do it. Said Arthur's back, good to see you here. Thank you, Salma Mohamed says, oh, very cool. Let's see, or maybe you can do a private video or something. Sure, just contact me and we can talk more. Would love to help you out if I can. So yeah, guys, I think I'm gonna wrap it up for the day. I got a lot of stuff to do. I wanna go do a walk around the block, which I have not been doing. Give me a little exercise. I'm also gonna work out this afternoon. But I also need to finish my webinar. I also need to edit some videos. Oh my gosh, I got a busy day. I got a really busy day. Matter of fact, we got so busy over the weekend, I have to have my daughter come back to work for us and put in more orders again. So that's what we're gonna do. All right, guys, if you got anything else, put it in the chat section there. Let me know if you enjoyed this today. I wasn't gonna do another live today because I've done a live every single day for the past, I think 15, 16 days, something like that. Now I gotta decide, do I do another live tomorrow? Is it in me? Do you guys want it? Let me know. Yeah, that's great. Thank you, bye. Bye-bye. Thank you for being here. I really appreciate your, and I appreciate those kind comments and I appreciate you commenting in general. So you don't even have to be nice to me as long as you comment it, right? We just wanna get your input on stuff. I really appreciate it. Have you ever sold on subscription-like supplements? Never, ever, never would I ever do anything to do with health and fitness. I wouldn't do anything to do with it. I'm not an expert on that. I think a lot of the supplements are garbage and I think it's like selling snake oil. And a lot of my friends wouldn't like me saying that because they sell that kind of crap, but now I never sell that stuff, never would, never have. Oh my God, yes. Okay. All right, guys, so if you wanna hear more, put in there, just put in there yes more if you wanna hear more lives. Put in there yes more. If I see enough yes mores, I'll do it. If I don't, I gotta go work on other stuff because it's calling me, it's calling me, okay? So all you gotta do is put yes more in that chat section if you wanna hear more lives. Now, understanding these lives, you can also send me suggestions as to what you want me to talk about because basically I'm rambling. I'm just telling you about my life and different people I think who are interesting and trying to help you out with your business. Maybe give you a little motivation if I can. Maybe give you a little insight into what I did. Maybe that will motivate you to do something. That's all I'm doing with these. So if you want more, put yes more in that chat section there and once I see some yes mores in there, then I'm not seeing them. So okay, there's a yes more, okay. I love this, yes more, Paul, okay. So I got a couple in there, so give me a few more. I know I get a lot of viewership on these after the fact because a lot of people cannot sit here. Yeah, more, some are cool. A lot of people can't sit here at this time in the morning they just don't have the freedom to do so. And understand even if you can't, please come back and watch the lives. I've got a bunch of them in there. You can go back in there on various different subjects and different things and I'm only here to help you. If you noticed, I haven't sold you anything. Don't want to sell you anything. I just want to help you out on these lives, okay. Thank you so much for being here guys. Put a few yes mores in there. You can put one or two or three or four or five if you want. Fill it up because if you do, the more interaction this video gets, of course YouTube's going to show it to more people. Give thumbs up, yes Paul, appreciate it and share it. Share this channel, share this video. If you think it's going to be helpful to somebody, you think it can help them out in their situation. And we're going to talk about various different subjects. Please, please share this. I would really appreciate you doing that. Give me a thumbs up down there. Don't forget, give me a thumbs up. I really appreciate that. I will change my name so it is more easy. You don't have to do that. You do what you do. James Breen, where you been James? Austin is also a great music town. Yes it is. It's great for music and tech and food and everything. I think I'm going to love it. Guys thank you so much for being here. I'm going to go ahead and get out of here.

Next question is from Folvio the castle. How effective is strength training to improve bone density? The most effective. Isn't the only way? There's nothing. There's nothing that even comes close to resistance training or strength training for increasing bone density. Now I know people will think do things like take more vitamin D, take more calcium, take magnesium. Here's the thing with those. Now first off, if those nutrients are low and you're deficient, taking them will improve bone density, but that's totally different.  Also, if you don't have a signal to build more bone mass, you can take everything in the world. Your body doesn't care. It doesn't want to build, but you'll look at like osteopenia drugs, osteoporosis drugs, right? Fosamax or other and they're, and these are drugs that actually hammer the immune system. I had, I talk about this client often because it was so profound, but I used to train this woman. She was a professor, loved training her wonderful woman and she came to me because she couldn't figure out how to reverse. She had this slow declining of bone mass and she walked daily. She did hikes. She was active. She ate very healthy. She was very petite woman and she was like borderline osteoporosis. The doctors put her on. I think it was Fosamax that she took. I believe that's the one where you go. It's like once in a while.  She was teaching a class one time, having conversation with her students. One of her students happened to be a trainer that worked for me back in the day. He says, Hey, go see Sal. He's got a studio. She came and hired me and we did the, she never lifted weights. We did the most basic resistance training. Very, very basic.  It was a sumo deadlift with the dumbbell off of a block because she wasn't very strong. It was overhead presses with two pound dumbbells. And it was very, very basic. We just slowly progressed her. She went to the doctor, got her annual checkup for her bone density. The doctor was so blown away by what happened. He called me and he made a case study out of her and included my name and the whole thing. And he goes, I've never seen this before. He goes, this is, he goes, not only did it, the best we could hold for slowing down the progression, not only did it stop and went in the opposite direction. She's actually adding bone.  And I said, we're strength training. We're actually sending a signal to her body to build bone because it's strength training. Does it just strengthen bone? It's interconnected in a musculoskeletal system. It's all connected. Like, so one tissue affects the other. And I just think that people don't realize that that's, that's integrated into the strength training. Your bones get affected as well. Now, if this isn't a goal of yours, how important is it that you're in a caloric surplus? It's relatively important. However, if you're in terms of your bone density will always be positively affected from going from no strength training to strength training.  Right. But at a certain point, you probably want to have some excess calories or at least that maintenance, right? If you're too low on calories, then your body's starting to take away from certain things. But I'll tell you, it's in fact, I did a Lane Norton's podcast and we were talking about this. He had his bone density tested and they said your bones are three times stronger than the average guy your age. We're seeing now osteopenia and women in their 30s. We're seeing osteopenia in men. It was never a thing that men had problems with. We're starting to see it in men. Society is just so sentient. Yes. And how much is how much does declining testosterone play a role in that? It does play a role. It also plays a role. But I'll tell you what, it's a big deal for people listening right now thinking, Oh, what's the big deal?  They'll because of their week because they have low muscle and because their bones get weak. This is quite common.   No, when they compare other forms of exercise to strength training for bone mass, you know what you see? You see like running, for example, you'll see a little bit of increase in bone mass in the lower extremities or nothing. You'll actually sometimes see a loss of bone mass in the upper extremities. resistance training or strength training is because it targets the whole body. You see bone mass increases in the spine, in the upper extremities, lower extremities the neck, the ankles, the hips, like everything. So by far and you don't need to do a lot of it. If you're somebody who's listening and you're older and you have osteopenia one day a week, one day a week of strength training and you should see a positive and this is the thing like this is why yes, walking is great. Yes, being active is great. But also you got to consider these things too as you age.  So resistance training needs to be a part of your routine. Totally.


Hello everyone. Welcome to Cloud Native Live where we dive into the code behind Cloud Native. I'm Annie Talastro and I'm a CNCF ambassador as well as a senior product marketing manager at Camunda and I will be your host tonight. So every week we bring a new set of presenters to showcase how to work with Cloud Native Technologies. They will build things, they will break things and they will answer all of your questions. So join us every Wednesday to watch live as you are maybe doing now. Welcome very much. So this week we have Reza here with us to talk about multi architectural Kubernetes clusters. And as always this is an official live stream of the CNCF and as such it is subject to the CNCF code of conduct. So please do not add anything to the chat or questions that would be in violation of that code of conduct. Basically please be respectful of all of your fellow participants and presenters. So with that I'll hand it over to Reza to kick today's presentations off. Hello and thank you for the warm welcome. Let me just share my screen without disabling my webcam. Yeah. So today I'm going to talk about multi architectural Kubernetes clusters. Hello. As Annie was so kind enough to introduce me my name is Reza. I'm a developer advocate at TIGERA. TIGERA is the company behind the open source project Calico. A little bit about me. I like staring at binary files until I can spot decimal numbers in them. I'm always eager to learn new stuff and open to suggestions. So let's connect and exchange ideas. By the end of this talk you'll be able to convert your X86 containers to run in an ARM environment and set up Kubernetes cluster with multiple CPU architecture that can run those workloads that you converted. This will help you spend less money on cloud providers while gaining better performance. This talk is divided into six sections and I'm going to talk about Project Calico and give you an overview of what it is and what we do. Then I'm going to explain what I mean by a multi architectural cluster. There will be some promising benchmarks about Redis and Nginx that I've done before. Then I'll demo how to set up a multi architectural cluster using Amazon EKS. After that we will check out how easy it is to prepare your applications for an ARM environment. Finally if everything goes right I'll demo the migration process. If you got any questions please type it in chat. I'll try my best to answer it at the end of each section or at the end of presentation. If I don't know the answer to your question which by my experience is going to be a lot of times please remind me in Project Calico Slack and I'll try to connect you with people who know way more than me that can help you with that. So an overview about Calico. Now what is Project Calico? Project Calico is a community behind a pure layer 3 approach to virtual networking and highly scalable data centers. By layer 3 I mean IP and routing. Calico is an open source networking and network security solution for containers, virtual machines and native host based workloads. It is important to note that Calico is not just a community CNI. In fact Calico supports a broad range of platforms including OpenShift Merentus, OpenStack and bare metal services. Project Calico is an active community about cloud networking and security. So feel free to join our community using these social networking handles and drive the conversation where you see a need for a change or seek help for your Calico journey from developers who are actively working on the project. All right so let's get started. What is multi-architectural cluster? Before we can talk about that let's talk about what are the benefits and why should we care. In every project there are a variety of workloads. These workloads can run more efficiently by using different processors which will result in cost saving and performance boost. As an example if you're using an in-memory database like memcached or Redis you will achieve a better performance and have to pay less money using an ARM architecture rather than x86. Now that we know the benefits and hopefully saving money is an intriguing fact for you let's talk about what I mean by multi-architectural cluster. When participating nodes in a cluster have different CPU architectures we have a multi-architectural cluster. Usually when we create a Kubernetes cluster we use an Intel or AMD CPU which is based on x86 or AMD 64 architecture. We can verify this in the first picture. Both nodes are based on AMD 64 architecture. In a multi-architectural cluster we use nodes that have different processors allowing us to divide the workload based on their processing needs.  By the way AMD 64 refers to the 64 bits nature of the processor and it's not a brand. This is a historical thing because in race to 64-bit AMD was the first to achieve it and we still refer to them as AMD 64. Now what is ARM? ARM is a family of processors running on the risk architecture. RISC is referred to processors that use a few amount of highly optimized instructions to do a task very quickly. Fun fact ARM is a chip company that doesn't mass produce chips. Their business model is to provide licenses to other companies, allowing them to design their own custom build processors using ARM's patented technology. What is the difference between ARM and x86? The main difference can be traced back to the way DCPUs execute instructions. x86 tries to achieve more calculations by running one instruction and firing a chain of other instruction to have a more dynamic approach to computing. This is because when x86 was being developed memory was quite slow and expensive. ARM on the other hand uses a simple instruction to do one thing and one thing only making it more efficient in some scenarios and less power hungry. Now I'm not going to pretend that I'm an expert in these two architectures in any way but if you're interested to know more there's a link at the end of this presentation that will assist you in your computer architecture journey. So who uses ARM? Wherever power efficiency is needed ARM shines. Smartphones are a great example of this. Most smartphones and tablets are using customized CPUs that are based on ARM design. Many laptop manufacturers are also migrating to ARM architecture because of its power efficiency. Apple's newest line of processors and one family is arguably one of the most known examples of that at this time. Another area that ARM processors are used is supercomputers. Fugaku, the word fastest supercomputer at the moment, is powered by ARM processors. While all these areas are interesting on their own, I'm only going to talk about ARM based processors in the cloud. So forgiving. What about the cloud? Amazon launched their custom design processors at Graviton back in 2018, allowing users to choose ARM 64 architecture in cloud using a one general purpose EC2 instances. In 2019, Amazon introduced Graviton 2 and upgraded their last gen CPUs, providing a variety of instances, which are called M6 family with better price to performance ratio. So what this got to do with costing? This is an estimate generated by AWS estimation tool. As you can see, an M6G ARM instance at the top of the picture with the same amount of resources is 20% cheaper than M5 x86 instance at the bottom. That is the money incentive that I was talking about, but let's check out some benchmarks to verify the performance moves. All right, so these benchmarks are created using M6G ARM instance and M5 x86 instance that are introduced in the previous slide. It is worth mentioning that except the CPU and price, everything else is identical inside these instances. Among the operations that Redis can do, get and set are two examples of ARM 64 performance boost that we can refer to. As you can see in the left picture, in the same amount of time, Redis on an ARM instance can run more than 113,000 set of operations while an x86 can only do around 6,600 operations. Same is true for get. As it is shown in the right picture, ARM 64 can run more operations than x86 in the same amount of time. In fact, Redis performance gain is not just limited to get and set. All Redis operations gain a considerable performance boost when we use an ARM 64 instance in comparison to an x86 instance, as it is shown in this slide. All right, at this point, I feel like I owe a brief description of what is an in-memory database. Traditionally, databases use storage to store data. Up in request, they transfer that portion of information into RAM and after a query is done, they might leave it inside the RAM to be used as some sort of cache and speed up the next lookup process. In-memory databases, on the other hand, you use the RAM to store the data. When a query is issued, it is directly retrieved from the RAM, resulting in an eye-catching performance boost. In-memory databases can use the storage as well, but it is mostly used to create snapshots as a form of backup, since information in RAM are not persistent and can be purged with a pulverage. All right, so the next project. As it is described on NGINX websites, NGINX is an open source software for web-serving, reverse proxying, media streaming, you name it. NGINX is quite popular these days. As a matter of fact, NetCraft, a website dedicated to analyzing many aspects of the internet, including the market share of web servers showing NGINX as the leader of market share between all sites among web server developers, as you can see in their chart for 2021. This is my benchmark of NGINX using, again, X86 and ARM64 nodes. Again, except the CPU architecture and the price, everything else is identical inside these instances. As it is shown in the picture, X86 falls short with around 6 million requests per second, while ARM64 is able to reach 8 million in the same timeframe. If there is no question, we could get to the demo. Yeah, not so far, but leave all of your questions to the chat so we can get them at the end of the presentation. And if no one else asks anything, I will have plenty of questions, so no worries. Oh, no. Okay. Not too hard or anything, no worries. Absolutely. So, for the demo, I had to prepare an X86 EKS cluster because it takes around 30 minutes to create one. If you're new to EKS, don't worry, I got you covered. There's a link at the end of this presentation, a step-by-step guide that can help you throughout the whole journey, even creating the benchmarks and running everything from scratch. So, at the moment, I only have one cluster, which, as I said, I created earlier. If we could check the nodes architecture at the moment, there is one AMD64 instance inside my cluster. Now, since I'm using EKS Cattle, I have to run some other EKS Cattle that can add an ARM64 node group to my cluster. This is a basic EKS Cattle create node, which we just say create a node group Ruby for this cluster, as you can see. With this name, I want one node inside my node group, and the node type is M6G, which I talked about earlier. And M6G is a large instance, giving it like 8 gigahertz.  And the error talks about the manifests that EKS Cattle is using. This is because most of the manifests are not multi-platform friendly in those releases of EKS Cattle. In order to update these manifests, you just need to run a simple command that tells EKS Cattle that I like to update my core DNS, AWS node, and coop proxy manifests. Again, if you like to know the commands that I'm running, don't worry about it. There is a link at the end that shows everything. All right. So when you are done updating these three components, you can run the node group command to create an ARM64 node group. By the way, the thing that this command is doing is adding an ARM64 to each manifest, allowing it to match the architecture of ARM64, which is the architecture of the node that we are going to create. In EKS Cattle, I think it's 0.65 or 66. When you do the coop proxy update, you will still get an error, which you can fix it by getting rid of the coop proxy demon sets off the getter and asking EKS Cattle to force create the add-on. Hopefully, when you done all of these, things will work and you can create your node group without any problems. Yeah. All right. So let's get back to the presentation. Now, while the EKS Cattle is busy with AWS cloud formation, let's talk about how to prepare applications for an ARM environment. Adopting ARM might seem complicated at first because of the huge toll that might be involved with preparing an application for an ARM environment. However, with more and more programming languages leaning toward multi-platform and cross-compilation support, this gap is getting narrower every day. Unless you have a project coded in assembly language or a heavily optimized C code for a specific architecture environment, there's a huge chance that converting your containers will just take one command. Talk about converting. Linux containers are a great example when it comes to converting containers. Linux can be configured to use an optional kernel feature called binfmt miscellaneous that can match the beginning of a binary file and identify which interpreter is suitable in order to execute it. This can help to compile your container for a different architecture without investing in hardware resources. This is needed because inside Linux, when you create a container, it shares the host kernel, and host kernel is usually using the CTO architecture, not usually every time. So with using binfmt miscellaneous, we can emulate that architecture, which is suitable for our application. Project multi-arc, which I'm borrowing their logo, it uses the same concept to emulate various CPUs inside Linux containers. Now, let's check out how we can convert Google microservices demo to run an ARM environment. For any of you who are not familiar, Google microservices demo or online boutique is a fictional web-based shop where you can search for items you love, put them in your basket and check out without spending any real money. More importantly, it is a project with 11 microservices written in a variety of programming languages, begging to prove that I might be wrong about one command conversion claim that I made earlier. So let's head back to the demo. Hopefully, you know, CloudFormation is going strong. Right, so this is the microservices folder. If you like to download microservices, it is available in GitHub. You can clone it, download it, there are many, many documents and tutorials about how it works and what are the components in it. As I said, the important thing for me in this presentation is the amount of languages that is included inside this project, which makes it more or less a real-world scenario. So inside microservices demo, there is a folder called SRC. And these are the source files for creating these containers that are components inside the demo application. So microservices, SRC, and let's pick first one at service. Right, so I'm using Docker. And in order to build, we can check out there is a Docker file indicating that this container can be built with Docker build command. So usually, we should be able to build this using Docker build and the dot, we can add a tag to, we should later, oops, all right. What we can do to create this container is just run Docker build normally. For creating it in terms of R, we can use the billix, which is they're multi-treaded with more caching flexibility toolchain. And we can add platform, which could indicate what are the architectures that we want to run this container on. Now I'm going to run this an arm64. By the way, when you run billix, it doesn't export the container at the end to your local repository. You either need to add dash dash load or dash dash push to push it into the Docker repository, given that you are logged in inside Docker. So with that, we could run this command and it will give us an error because it seems something wrong. And it's this story Linux arm64. Yeah. Right. And that's the arm services on its glory. And I can say create this for both AMD 64 and arm64, and push it into my Docker repository on the internet, which hopefully runs there will be no error. While this is building, I can try to pull up, should be able to. Yep. So CNCF live few seconds ago. And if we check the latest tag, there is an arm64 and AMD 64 image for my container. Now let's go back and right. This is finally done. We could go to the nodes. And I have an AMD 64 and arm64 in my cluster. Fun fact, for some reason, EKS butter rocket version is mismatched in AMD 64 and arm64. There is one minor version difference between these two releases. So if you're using a cutting edge feature, make sure that the kernel got it. And with that, we should be able to go around services, which will populate pot. This will take a second. And populate the pots, which will be back to check it later. Meanwhile, you can get back to the presentation. Hopefully there is no question. And so far. So I talked about how to run Kubernetes cluster with multiple CPR architectures and how to migrate your containers to work on arm. I strongly believe that you can save a lot of money and resources if you start converting some of your workloads to run an arm. If you like to create the demo cluster and take it for a spin, check out my GitHub repository. Everything is there. You can see the address in the top of the slide. And don't be shy to contact me if something goes wrong. I'm reachable at these social places and calico users like if you like to shout at me. These are the resources that I used for this presentation. Again, as I promised, there is the entrance to the arm rabbit hole at the end of this slide. As you can see, developer arm.com. If you're a big fan of free stuff like me, make sure to grab your copy of the Kubernetes security and observability ebook from our website. It describes the key concepts, the best strategy and technology choices available to support your environment. In fact, there is a chapter dedicated to workload deployment controls that goes into more details about container images and CICD that I've used as an inspiration for my how to create arm containers. And some of the choices that I made to do the arm 64 migration question. Perfect. Thank you so much for the great presentation. If there's any questions from the audience now is the perfect time to ask them. So fire away with those. And I find it correctly. If anyone has a question after this, you know, they realize that they should have asked that or this. I think you said that they can go to their colleague to ask more questions. Yes, that's correct. That's always trying to load. These two are still trying. Everything takes always longer when you're like in a presentation. That is true. And things are like always running into issues like dash tag. I don't even know how that get in there. But all right, there's a dash tag. Yeah, it's the demo effect. It happens every single time. Yeah, that is true. Yeah, and thank you to J. J. T. Han from before J. T. For your comments on great and thank you. So as I said, amazing presentation. Thank you so much. So questions for a minute, everyone, anyone, while we see if any of them rolls in. I want to ask, so this was a great presentation into the current things that's happening with Project Caligar. So what is the future do? Is there any kind of future roadmap or what's gone and what's going to be next for their project? So Project Caligar is at the moment trying to work on eBPF. And eBPF is, as you know, usually used in AMD64. So with this ARM64 movement that is happening inside cloud, we're hoping to like expand the horizon for people who like to spend less money and use features like eBPF and stuff in their clusters. Yeah. Perfect. Yeah. And thanks, Jason again, for commenting. And they don't have any questions for now. But as mentioned before, hop on over to the Slack if you have any later on. Another question for me. So you showed a few content pieces there that everyone can learn more on if you could comment only one content piece, but what would be the kind of the perfect next step after this presentation? What should people start with? I think the book that I pitched in could be a great resource to know about everything that I talked about and much more. If you're not big on reading books, I would say Linux kernel is the best way to consume knowledge. It's something that I really like whenever I have some free time, I just go to the Linux kernel website and just browse and find new information. Yeah, those are the best tips I always myself, if I have, if I'm in a need to learn something new, I usually just go to the CNCF YouTube and just like watch a professional or something. And these these kind of tips, I think are always the best for sure. Yeah, um, I think if there isn't, so I think these is last call ish for questions. Do you have any other like wrap up words or comments for now? Oh, I almost forgot the most important part. Thank you for giving the opportunity to bore you with the things that are interesting to me. Of course, not boring at all. But the interesting part is the best. Yeah, and there's Wiz saying amazing. Thank you very much. No question from them either. But great that everyone had a good time while in the session. And yeah, so let's start wrapping it up. And if anyone has the questions later, just hop on to the Slack side of things to ask them. So let's wrap it up. So thank you everyone for joining the latest episode of cognitive live. It was amazing to have Riza here talking about multi architectural communities, clusters. Thank you so much for the great comments and great feedback for the session as well as today's show. We really appreciate it. And tune in next week as well when we bring you the latest cloud native code every Wednesday. Next week we will have Jason Morgan talking about introduction to policy with linkerd 2.11. Thanks for joining us today and see you next week.
