Let's face it. No two relationships are alike. And if you're dating long distance, it probably puts a big time monkey wrench in trying to create a relationship. So I want to lean into this conversation of, you know, how to make a long distance relationship work. Now, most of you who follow my work know that I'm not a big fan of long distance dating. I'm not a big fan of long distance relationships. Which is kind of ironic because now I am in a long distance relationship. So that kind of throws a monkey wrench in all of my content in the past. And I thought it'd be important to talk about this at a greater length to just give some backdrop as to why I felt they are problematic. And also some of the ways to actually build a healthy long distance relationship when you're long distance dating. So, God, I mean, the laundry list is long of why I think they're problematic in many cases, especially because of these devices. We have created opportunities to meet with people whom we wouldn't otherwise meet in our daily lives, which is great, especially for those that live in your same city. You know, it's great because literally I live in a condo complex that has 600 people and I don't know most of the people that live here. So great that we have these devices to maybe connect with someone. It becomes more challenging when you've connected with someone where there's distance involved for a variety of different reasons. One is just the logistics of meeting for the first time to just determine if you have chemistry with one another. That's certainly problematic. And then the logistics of how would you form a relationship with someone that's long distance that actually could lead to something more serious. Now, I believe that a lot of people enter into long distance dating scenarios because they're lonely. I think in some cases that loneliness causes them to actually connect via telephone and actually begin a relationship that's more based on bonding with their traumas than actually forming a healthy happy relationship. I think this happens significantly. In addition, some people connect or one of the two people connect long distance where they're operating from a place of desperation. That's what I said, it's place of desperation. I see this more often with women that believe that they can completely change their lives to accommodate someone else's distance. Now, I say that's desperate because think of the amount of headache it takes to shift one's life, especially if there's a significant distance, how much effort it takes to shift one's life to accommodate someone else. And I think women tend to do more of the accommodating than men. So I think women operate from a belief that once they've got a guy that might be interested that they'll bend over backwards, they'll pretzel for the guy. And oftentimes the guy doesn't have to do much to make this relationship work. So, and I've witnessed women, by the way, I've witnessed women who have engaged in long distance communication with someone who lives in another country. And they believe that by they're coming from a European country as an example and they come to the United States, which oftentimes creates a scenario which I'm about to share with you that ends up being short-lived. So a lot of times long distance dating is short-lived. Now, why does this happen? Because in many cases there's incessant communication with one another and there's a connection that's built. And during that time, a lot of times there's sexual conversations that occur. And during these sexual conversations, when two people end up, because this has happened, when they meet, they oftentimes have sex, literally moments after they've met or a short period of time thereafter, especially if there's been sexual conversations. So it really, it benefits the guy in some cases. And in many cases, women are doing the traveling to the man more often than not under the guys that, you know, this will be PG rated, but it always ends up with sex. And then once that man is at that sexual desire field, oftentimes the chemists, the chemicals have been released from his body and that conquest has occurred because you know men are hunters. So what are we conquesting oftentimes sex? And then men will disappear. So I'm not a bit, those are some of the reasons why I'm not a big fan of this. In addition, I've never felt that men really bond via the telephone. I don't believe men bond via the telephone. There's a saying that men fall in love through sex and women give sex hoping for love. So we bond more from a physical perspective. It's doing social activities, hobbies, mutual interest, spending time with family and friends, traveling together. That's where we can bond more closely than versus the telephone. And you're in a long distance dating scenario relationship scenario. You're more dependent on telephone communication, FaceTime and text messaging. And I just don't believe men bond that way. Certainly unhealthy men temporarily bond that way. Controlling men never bond that way. And emotionally mature men feel a sense of connection, but they desire a physical relationship that's face to face. So I find myself in the long distance dynamic. Now, I'll be candid with you, even though we had met a year prior on a dating site before our actual physical first meeting. And during that conversation, it wasn't a great conversation we had on the phone, but we decided to remain connected. We remained friends. We joined our Facebook pages with one another and I think Instagram. So we stayed connected. And we would communicate every now and again, how's dating going? How's your life going? We got on the phone a number of times. And during the course of a year, I'd say we communicated via phone six, seven, maybe eight, nine times. I just don't remember the specific number and included some text messages, you know, Merry Christmas, Happy Thanksgiving, Happy Easter, that sort of thing. So when we eventually, and what happened was when we decided to meet, it was just merely two friends meeting with one another. Because I happened to be traveling to the city she lives in, which happens to be Chicago. And it was again, under the guise of just two friends meeting, I really had no idea we would have such a strong connection when we met. We had an incredible first evening together. And because I was there traveling through to officiate a wedding. In fact, I just got a picture of it. I just want to share everyone with you. I got a picture of the just got it today. There's me officiating a wedding, Max and Megan. I'm very honored to have officiated your wedding. I just posted that on Instagram. You can go to the description below to Instagram to find that picture. And so I invited her to join me at the wedding. I checked in with both of them and they agreed. And we had such a fantastic at the wedding that we really hit it off when we said, okay, are we going to explore this? So when I got home, we had a conversation. We immediately made a plan for her to come out and visit me. And that took about two weeks, give or take two and a half weeks before our last face to face time together. Now during that time, we talked on the phone a number of times we were connecting with one another. And we were kind of feeling each other out. We spent a lot of time talking about our past relationships. We wanted to unpack our past to see who we are today. And then we really explored, what are we genuinely seeking in a relationship? And we practiced what I call radical honesty, radical honesty was real open communication, open communication. We just laid our cards on the table when we were both talking on the phone and then face to face. And then during this conversation, we're like, okay, are we really going to explore a long term relationship? Is this something we want to explore?   Let's decide if this is a good fit. So we planned a second visit, which was originally going to be three weeks later, but we moved it up two weeks later. And we really said during these, and we had a number of multiple hour conversations in between. Why are we doing this? I was like, first is really good open communication, really laying our cards on the table. And then second, why are we doing this? Is this really got long term merit to it? Listen, if we were dating, if our dynamic was close, she lived close by, I think we would have had a different outcome. It may have just taken longer, but because of the distance, we said, look, we've got to figure out how we're going to take this distance and bring it closer together. So it was really important to say, why are we doing this and what is the long term goal? What is the long term goal? And what is our plan for this, which I'll talk about in a moment? So one of the other things that because we were apart on some days, it was important that we check in with each other to keep that validation going, keeping that energy going, because it's very difficult when you're apart. And in addition, we had the tough conversations. We had the real tough conversations. We talked about money. We talked about sex. We talked about the real more difficult conversations. For example, if you haven't read the book, Eight Dates by Drs. John and Julie Gottman, I highly recommend checking this out. This is the deep conversations to have. And we did that. And it's really important to have those tough conversations because if you're going to do long distance, listen, it's problematic. And like I said in the beginning of this recording, a lot of it is therapy based or it's just satisfying an itch base in the beginning. And because we were physically intimate with each other, we recited my dating vows to one another, which I'll share with you right now. And it's listed in the description below. But in the dating vows, it says, I agree to explore the process of getting to know you with the intent to declare something serious in the next three to six months. I agree to be monogamous sexually while we're having regular sex together. I agree not to actively seek or date or meet others while we're in this process of dating, including taking down our profiles. Interestingly enough, I deleted all my file.  Number four, we agree to speak up if this isn't working for either one of us versus pulling back ghosting or disappearing. And lastly, I agree to invest regular time in the process of getting to know you, which looks like and this is what we talked about. What would it look like if we're going to do this from a long term perspective?  Listen, it's dragging out a long distance relationship is can be incredibly painful, especially if your love language is physical touch. And if you're not familiar, where's the book? Oh, I don't have it handy. Oh, the Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman. I highly recommend checking this out. By the way, there's a link below to all the books I recommend. One of my love languages is physical touch. I need to connect with someone on a physical level to feel a sense of connectivity. I think most people physical touches in their top three. So ultimately, we had the hard conversations and we have a plan. And we've decided to take this distance and change it. Now, she grew up in Los Angeles where I live. She has many fans. She has many friends. Her dearest friend lives here. So we decided that she would move here at some point and that's going to happen fairly quickly. If you don't have a plan, it's going to be very difficult to make this work because a lot of people are just winging it. They're winging it. They're winging it in the dating process. They're getting some benefits of companionship, connection and sex without any real commitment. And if you don't have a real commitment with one another, the dating vows look, you're going to turn away a lot of people. A lot of guys, a lot of women are going to be turned off about this. But having intentional conversations and having a real plan and being committed to this, I think one of the real problems today, I'll talk about this in a moment, is that people aren't getting married as much as they used to. They're not. And the divorce rate is ridiculously high. And I think because of that, it has become incredibly problematic because I think the institution of marriage had a benefit, had a value. And I think a lot of people have discounted that or have dismissed it because the one core fundamental, especially for those in my parents' generation where there's a picture of them here today, is once they made a commitment to one another, you had to figure it out. Failure was not an option. It turns out my girlfriend, her parents met and married within, I believe it was three weeks and they were married almost 60 years before her father passed away. Failure was not an option. And yet the reason why I think the divorce rate is so high and why marriage is so low these days, or the people choosing to get married, I actually believe it's the proliferation of divorce attorneys. I believe making it easy to divorce, and by the way, a lot of people say it isn't easy to divorce. It is absolutely easy to divorce. It can be incredibly painful to divorce. There's no doubt about it. But to get a divorce is rather easy.  It's really blasé. Commitment is blasé these days. So you no wonder it's a clusterfuck out there in the dating realm because you know what, people don't have to make, they can make little or no commitment. Even my dating vow isn't even that strong of a commitment.  And no wonder it's a mess out there in the dating realm. So if you're going to engage in a long-distance dynamic, you're really putting a lot of your heart at risk because it's already dysfunctional out there. If you're not familiar with my two charts about emotional maturity, I'm going to share this with you, emotional maturity and relationship skills. By the way, this is not a fact. It's an opinion. But I believe roughly 20% of the population has clinical issues. And while 20% might be emotionally healthy with their skills, we have a dysfunctional dynamic out there. And then to put distance in that is only going to make it more problematic unless two people are absolutely intentional. They practice radical honesty, laying their cards on the table. They've learned good, healthy communication skills. If you haven't read the book, I hear you, the surprisingly simple skills to extraordinary relationships. I highly recommend reading this so you can develop the skills to actually engage in a long-distance relationship. And most people are bad at it. So again, it's problematic if you live in the same city. Imagine how more problematic. Now what's interesting in our relationship, I think it gives you the opportunity to accelerate. If it's a real connection, I think for it to be successful, you need a real connection. You need to have that physical attraction, real connection. I'm talking about connection with one another. You need to have that physical attraction as well. But you also have to be intentional. In addition, you have to really be introspective. We have human beings that are completely unconscious to their childhood wounds and traumas and adult traumas. And no wonder it's problematic out there. This is why I highly recommend reading the book, The Hoffman Process, The Hoffman Process. So you can do a deep dive into healing your childhood wounds and traumas. Because the problem is, most of the times, distance is already problematic.   So why do I think my relationship is going to work? Look at strong connection right from the get-go, including the attraction piece. Intentional in the process. And lastly, we are very aware of our childhood wounds and traumas and our adult traumas. And we're introspective in this case. And if you want a long-distance relationship work, if you don't have those three elements, it's going to be problematic. And the last but not least piece, and this is what men need to be able to go the distance and long-distance relationships.  You know what? There's a picture of my girlfriend right there. There's her and I, Mastro's restaurant. I like her. I just like her as a person. I just light up thinking about her because she's a cool chick. She's chill. She's just got a great, pleasant personality. She's agreeable. She's not controlling. She's not combative. She's just very chill. I love that about her. It makes me smile because I like this person.  Long-distance is spending a lot of time on the telephone and guys don't bond that way. They bond face-to-face with you. And that's the kind of relationships I want to encourage you have. So if you need some help and support on that, check out the link to schedule a call with me. I'll teach you how to ask the right questions, how to determine if the two of you are right for one another. That's my skill. That's my expertise. Check out the link in the description for maybe joining my group, maybe following me on Instagram. If you want support, that's my area of expertise. I can help you with that. Listen, I hope you found value in this video. We're going to take questions in a moment, but do me a favor, hit that like button, share this video, subscribe to my channel, hit the bell. My goal is to open human beings up to the understanding that we are a dysfunctional society, emotionally speaking. So stop praying for fairy dust to fix things and take charge of your life. And if you haven't read the book, Ladies, Why Men Love Bitches, please read this. Stop giving your power away to men. Bitch stands for babe in total control of yourself. Yes. Because when you're empowered, you have a greater chance of having a relationship success. Is this sinking in? Is this resonating with you? Please let me know. By the way, my book, don't forget. What the self love anyway, a journey of personal development, self open spiritual work. All right. So I think it's time to take questions. We're just going to do a short Q&A today. If you have a question, write the word question and then post the question there after or purchase a super sticker, super chat. There's a little dollar sign there. And all of the monies go to a scholarship fund in the name of my son, Conor Asley, to donate to causes like the Hoffman process, insight seminar. There's a picture of Conor right there. There's a picture of him right there. One of my favorites. These are all brand new mixed style pictures. By the way, this is my son who passed away. So I'd be honored if you'd give us a little bit of money so we can donate to these causes. And if you're watching the replay, there's a super thanks button as well. All right, folks. I think it's time for questions. So let's see what we've got today. And that says girlfriend. Wow. I think I missed a few steps here. So happy for you. Yes. This has been going on almost three months now. All right. Let's go swim in. You have a question for me. Post the word question or purchase a super sticker. Oh, here we go. Monica. Question. I've been dating a guy for three months. We are both super busy. We meet up once or twice a week. I asked for one phone call per week. It's been hard for us to fit. So I keep pushing it. Is it, is it no big deal? You know what?  If you're, by the way, if his penis gets to go inside your vagina ladies, you have every right to ask for certain things to help you build trust in the relationship. Now the problem is when you don't see each other regularly, it's going to be difficult to build trust. How do you build trust? Emotional connection. Economic agreement. Social activities, hobbies, mutual interest, spending time with family and friends, traveling together, teamwork, building skills, and you're both your personal and professional life. Intimacy, both physical and emotional intimacy. It's going to be difficult to build trust. And it's even more problematic if you only get to speak on the phone once a week. So it's going to be problematic. If you don't have time for a relationship, obviously you have time for sex. You have time to actually spend on the phone to build trust and to do this stuff. That's how it's going to happen. It's very, men don't bond on the telephone.  That's my two cents in it anyway. All right. Thanks so much for that question. I appreciate it. Question. What is your recommendation of how consistently to get together in person for a long distance relationship once or twice a month? I got to tell you something. So our distance is 2,400 miles. The plane ride ticket is 600 bucks. And I like to fly first class. So that's 1,400 for me. I actually purchased a coach ticket. Hey, I'm a little bit spoiled. Okay. I think it's very difficult to see each other only once or twice a month. It depends on how much time you gather. And if you're only spending a weekend together, now in my case, the first visit was four days. The next visit was 12 days, 24 seven together. And she flies out next week and we're going to spend almost three weeks together, including a trip to Cancun for my birthday on August 1st. So we're going to the secrets resort. I won't tell you which one. So, you know, I think it's very, unless you're spending a significant amount of time together, it's very difficult to make it work. I'm not saying they can't work, but you've got to have a plan. You have to be intentional. Otherwise you're getting a lot of, it's a bubble relationship. You're spending a lot of time in a bubble, but you're not really building the deeper roots to trust. So I think you got to figure out a plan of how you're going to take that distance and shorten it. Otherwise I wouldn't invest in someone unless you have a plan. I didn't consider this person, except I only considered it because she said she was wanting to move here anyway, to be with her daughter, to be with her friends. I mean, she has family, she has two children here. So if you don't have a plan, you're betting, you're, you're, you're betting on the come. And that's really hard to do. I'm not saying it doesn't work. I'm just saying it's hard to do. That's my two cents anyway. All right. Brenda says question. What should I do with men who are all, who are all in after a few conversations? I seem super, I seem super dysfunctional to me, but should I give these guys a chance?  So it's not uncommon to experience what's known as lust or limerence, lust or limerence. That's a very common experience for men. Now I've experienced that. I experienced it with my girlfriend, but I also was tempered with my emotional maturity.  So, you know, you've got a greater chance of that going on with this guy.  So, let me come back to your question. But you know what? I'm all about giving a person a chance because you just never know. But do you know the mechanics to a healthy, happy relationship? Do you know the fundamentals to a healthy, happy relationship? If you don't know the answer to that, it's going to be problematic because I guarantee you, most men are winging it, winging it, winging it.   Read these books I talk. Read the book here. Read this book. Even though you may not be talking marriage, read the seven principles for making a marriage work. This gives you insight into the mechanics to a healthy, happy relationship. That's when you're going to have a greater chance for success rather than winging it. That's my two cents. Thank you for listening. Wow. All right. We've got a lot of questions here. All right. Let's go swimming. Just keep swimming. Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum. Pharaoh says, Jonathan, enjoy your holiday in Mexico. Thank you so much. Oh, Trina, I just received your self-love book in the mail today. I can't wait to dive in. Thank you so much. I'm honored. All right. Let's keep... I don't have any questions. Let's see. Carrie says, I'm curious. I have a really good girlfriend. I have known her for years. We have a lot in common, support each other. She knows my struggles with this guy. Recently, she is flirting with him. That's pretty shitty. Not a good friend.  Sorry. I'm sorry you're experiencing that.  I'm sorry.  Your friends should not be flirting with somebody you're in a relationship with. Question. I'm a woman with no kids, and I can't seem to find a guy with no kids. Is there still hope for me? You know, I'm sorry. I don't like questions like this because there's a million men or more in the United States. Probably five million men who are relatively age-appropriate that don't have children or just date a 22-year-old like my son. 26-year-old like my son. Yes, there are men with no children. But there is a higher percentage of that. And you may have to change your thoughts here. You might want to change your thoughts or maybe date someone who has children. That's okay too. But you got to lean into that for yourself. But there are plenty of men that have no children at your age bracket. I can promise you that. All right. Let's see. Question. If I feel chemistry with a guy, does he also feel it? You could absolutely have chemistry with someone and they could absolutely not have chemistry with you. That is absolutely positive. Men have had chemistry with women and the women put them in the friend zone. So that is absolutely possible. All right. Let's keep swimming. What's up? Well, it looks like we have no questions. You know, we're going to do a short live tonight. It's Friday night. I'm going to go hang out with some friends. I'll give one more chance for a question. Otherwise, we're going to wrap up tonight. I just want everyone to know that, listen, long distance relationships have potential. But it's much like the broken clock. It's right twice a day. Most often than not, it's very much a very complicated type of relationship because of the distance. And in addition, because human beings are rather emotionally dysfunctional. So if you're going to engage in it, let me just remind you, open communication via the telephone. Really being intentional. Why are we doing this? Number four, making sure you are mindful about giving each other regular attention towards one another. Discuss the tough stuff like money and other things. And lastly, what's our plan to taking the distance and bringing it together? It's just a little, oh, by the way, we had Coco write in a question. I'll take this as the last one. Where do you see yourself in 10 years time? Where do I see myself? I'm going to wrap up with this question. So, here's my girlfriend. I see us married. I see us maybe living abroad, maybe being ex, you know, living in Costa Rica or Colombia, where she is from, maybe somewhere like that. Maybe Bali, maybe Thailand. Who knows? I see us traveling the world. She's a big time world traveler. I want to explore the depths of my profession. I want to be able to do this for another decade. I love being able to help people. I hope I'm still young enough to be relevant to people in the next decade. I hope we get to travel the world. I hope we really help each other in our personal lives. I hope we uncover the nooks and crannies of who we are at a deeper level. I hope to have great sex still up until, you know, 10 years or more. I really do hope that. And I said marriage. Yeah. I want to be married to someone. I'm in love with this person. So why wouldn't I want to consider that? It just saddens me. And I want to be fully committed because I want to be in that kind of relationship where we're in it through thick and thin.  You know, it's tough on my dad right now, but he had a good run. You know, they had a good run, I should say.  So I want to make chapter four and five, the best chapters of my life.  That's what I encourage people. And I believe that personal development, self-help and spiritual work. This is why I wrote my book to empower your life. By the way, there's a link below to get it to empower your life in such a way that you want to live life to the fullest because guess what? I see a lot of people in meandering relationships and I always ask them, get busy living or get busy dying. Listen, for those of us in midlife, the days in front of us are shorter than the days behind us. It is time to make every single moment count.  So everyone, I encourage you to make every moment count and don't engage in relationships that are meandering or go nowhere. Be empowered in your life. Take charge of your relationship, Destiny. Don't leave it up to someone else. You take charge. And that's my invitation for everyone. And I hope my content resonates with you. If it does, please post a comment below. I'd like to hear your thoughts. All right. I think this will be a good place to wrap up my video. I'm going to wrap up as I always do. First off, give myself a big, gigantic John Thunberg of self-love. I'm going to reach into the camera and give you a hug of love if that's okay. I'm going to ask you to turn to someone, a pet, a teddy bear pillow, and give them a hug of love. Because hugs are a great source of love. And let's face it, we can all use more love in our lives. I want to thank Coco and Melissa and Anya and Carrie and Helen and Risley and Brenda and Natalie and Melissa and Vero and Kelly and probably Sal and CeCe and Adina. And everyone, thank you so much. Big, gigantic hugs from me. Have a wonderful, wonderful, fabulous weekend. Be well. Thanks. Bye-bye now.


Life can often feel like a quest, a vast expedition to discover something greater than ourselves, something that will give meaning to our existence. For many, this profound search leads to a spiritual awakening, a transcendental process where we realize there is much more to life than our physical reality. What is a spiritual awakening? A spiritual awakening is a profound transformation and shift in consciousness where we start to perceive reality differently.  We peel back the layers of our conditioned mind, exposing ourselves to the realm of the spiritual, the metaphysical, and the divine. A spiritual awakening is unique to each individual. Some experience it as a sudden revelation or profound insight that shakes their world, while for others, it's a gradual process of self-realization and inner transformation that evolves over time. Signs of spiritual awakening Spiritual awakenings are often accompanied by some common indicators. You may start questioning societal norms and conventional wisdom. There's an increased interest in spiritual matters and a desire to understand the universe's workings. You might experience heightened empathy and compassion towards all living beings. The mundane may seem imbued with a newfound wonder, and synchronicities may become more noticeable. One of the most significant signs, however, is the deep sense of inner peace and joy that springs from the realization of our interconnectedness with the universe and the divine. Before we continue, I want to pause for a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to all of you who have joined us on this journey today. Your time and presence are greatly appreciated. I believe in the transformative power of knowledge. In a world that's constantly evolving, gaining wisdom is not just about acquiring information, it's about broadening our horizons, deepening our understanding, and empowering ourselves to make a positive impact. So, thank you for being here, for seeking knowledge, and for being part of this enlightening journey. Now, let's dive back into our content, equipped with curiosity and an open heart. The Challenges of a Spiritual Awakening Spiritual awakenings are not always comfortable. They disrupt our normal way of perceiving the world and shake up our long-held beliefs. It's natural to feel a sense of confusion, isolation, or fear as we grapple with new truths and let go of what no longer serves us. These feelings, though uncomfortable, are part of the process and often serve as catalysts for growth and transformation. It's important to remember that it's okay to seek guidance and support during this transformative period. The Beauty of Spiritual Awakening Despite the challenges, the journey of spiritual awakening is incredibly rewarding. It opens our hearts and minds to the divine essence within and around us. We realize our innate potential for love, compassion, and wisdom. We understand that we're not separate being struggling in isolation, but parts of a greater whole, interconnected with the universe. With spiritual awakening, we start living more authentically. We align our actions with our values, we express more love and kindness, and we find purpose and meaning in our lives. The world doesn't change, but the way we perceive it does. The world becomes a place of wonder, beauty, and infinite possibilities. In conclusion, spiritual awakening is a personal journey of self-discovery, growth, and transformation. It's a path that leads us back to our true essence, our divine nature. As we awaken, we begin to understand the sacredness of all life and realize that love and compassion are the true nature of our existence. And this profound realization can bring about a sense of peace, joy, and fulfillment like no other.


the speed of light, the cloud of dust, and a hearty high old silver, the Lone Ranger. With the rise of the cattle industry in the western United States, the bands of outlaws that roamed the frontier turned to cattle rustling, and the lives and property of the ranchers were in constant danger until the masked rider of the plane started his great fight for justice. It was his strength and courage, his daring and resourcefulness that brought law and order to the lawless new territory, and finally made possible the winning of the West. He turned with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear. From out of the past come the thundering hoofbeats of the great horse Silver, the Lone Ranger rides again. Come on, Silver! We're heading for Ambersfield! There's going to be trouble!  The cowboy had left his horse at the corral, but instead of heading for the front door, he circled the ranch house until he reached an open window at the side. He looked around prettily. Only the crickets broke the stillness of the night. Then he turned once more to the window and called softly. Mary! Mary! Wake up! Who's there? It's Jim. Come here. I have to talk to you. Jim, don't you realize it's poor thing? I need help, sis. What have you done now? I was over at Ambersfield. I had to shoot, in self-defense. You've killed a man. I don't know. Just believe me, it wasn't my fault. No matter what happened, he'll be after me, though. I've got to find someplace to hide. And you're asking me to help you? You're my sister, aren't you? I must shame to admit it after the way you treated Pa. You never could prove, I stole his cattle. You aren't trying to deny it, are you? That was almost a year ago. I needed money. I needed it bad. Then you couldn't go to Pa and ask for it like a man. It was a gambling debt. You know what he had said to that? I'm not going to argue about it. I've only been hoping that you'd... You're right. There's no time to argue. Will you help me, or won't you? No. Going back on your promise to Ma, huh? Her deathbed promise. Even she wouldn't help you now. Who's the last thing she asked you? I heard her. You promised you'd always look after me. Jim, why can't you be a man? I want your answer, that's all. There's no place I can hide you. Pa would find you soon or later around here. And if you wanted the murder, he'd turn you over to the sheriff. You can't expect another chance from him. I don't want nothing to do with him. Then why do you ask me to...  What's the matter with the schoolhouse and town? Why? It ain't been used this time of the year, and you've got the keys. I won't give them to you. Why not? How do I know this isn't another trick? I won't give you the keys and you'd steal everything inside the place. You're local. There's nothing in there worth stealing. There is, though. It's the only place I'll be safe, Mary. I've been thinking all the way from Abbotsville. I'll open the door and then I'll lock you in. Lock me in? Then I'd be a prisoner. That's right. You'd be my prisoner until I find out what you've done. Decide what I should do myself. Well, listen... You can take it or leave it. I won't give you the keys. All right. It's a deal. Hurry up and get dressed. I'll have a horse saddle for you.  I know. Hurry. It won't take me a minute. Lucky. Not a soul stirring. You call it lucky. Lucky to be hiding from the law. Never mind a lecture. Come on. You got the keys? Right here. I'll open the door. No, you won't. You try to take them. I'll wake up the whole town. Fine sister. A fine brother, Jim. That's all I have to say to that. All right. Hurry up. There you are. I'm going to need food, you know. I thought of that. There's enough in this package to last until tomorrow night. And water. Here's a full canteen. Good. You think of everything. This is for more, Jim. But I'm going to find out all about that shooting at Abbotsville. And if you were in the room... It was just like I told you. We'll see. You can expect me tomorrow night. Quick. What? A couple of hombres galloping down the street. Get into your saddle and get my horse out of here. Right up, Tutto. Those horses were standing right here. That's right. Come to see Trank and Dust. See if you can find out anything else from them. Ah. Me look. I'm pretty sure that was a girl who rode away. To pick up a trail outside of town and I think it will lead us to the Ashland Ranch. Ah. What? Horse girl lead carries somebody here. The tracks are heavier coming up. That's right. And someone is hiding inside this schoolhouse. You look. No, Tutto. We know who it is. We want him to think he's safe for a while. We'll follow the girl's trail and then make camp. Get him up, Scout. Come on, Silver. Come on, Silver. The following morning, Mary Ashland served breakfast to her father and Red Weatherby the foreman. Mmm. You're tired, Mary. You need to sleep well? Not very. Did anything wake you up last night? Nope. I was dead to the world from the time I hit the pillow till the sun woke me. Maybe you heard me coming in, Mary. Oh, I heard you read, but I was already awake then. What's the news of Abbotsville? Abbotsville? Oh, you were? Mm-hmm. Yeah. Is there any news?  Man was shot. Good place to stay away from, Abbotsville. Well, I'm going into town.  Sure thing. Want anything, Mary? No, Pa. Well, I do. Give me a kiss. I'll be back about noon. All right. Red, the man who was shot. Did he die? He hadn't when I left. But he was hurt bad? I guess so. Why are you so interested? Oh, not exactly, but I hate all this shooting and killing. When's there going to be an end of it around here? You should be interested, Mary. Really? Do I know the man who was hurt? You know the man who shot him? Not Jim. You don't have to pretend with me. Pretend? I don't have to tell you it was Jim. What makes you think that... This, Mary. What? Bandana? Yeah. There's nothing unusual about it. It was the one Jim was wearing last night. I found it outside your bedroom window. There were footprints there, too. Yes, he... He did come here. Where is he now? Why do you want to know, Red? Well, Dark Garnet, I... I don't feel the same way toward Jim that you and your Mordor. He was spoiled when he was young. He keeps on the way he's going. He won't amount to much. But that's no reason why he should stop, Red. You mean that someone's trying to kill him? That Armour he plugged last night is plenty tough. He'll be up and around the day. Thank goodness. It's nothing to be thankful for for Jim's point of view. Scar's tough and he's got friends. He won't rest until he gets even. Now, the only safe thing for Jim is to get as far away from these parts as he can. Thank you. You'll have to give me time to think, Red. I'll admit that you can help him better than I can. All right, engine speaker. What are you doing around here? That's Paul. He's caught an engine. Come on. I hope this doesn't mean more trouble. Why should it? One engine can't make any trouble. You haven't said anything to your Paul, have you? About last night. Of course not. What is it, Paul? Anything wrong? I just found him hanging around the side of the house. He wants to buy some supplies. That's right. Why don't you buy him in town? He has a good reason for that.  Well, give him some bacon and beans. Make him pay, though. He got money. Look, somebody's riding up. Never saw that horse before. I have. Well, who is it? I'll recall Tex. He was over in Abbotsfield last night. He rides well. Well, I don't like the way he carries his guns. Howdy, folks. Is the Ashland spread? It is. Is Jimmett? Well, why don't you finish? What about Jim? You just have to notice this armory with the red hair. You work around here, mister? That's my foreman, Red Weatherby. And your Judd Ashland? Yeah. What do you want with Jim? Is he here? He hasn't been here for close to a year. He isn't welcome, and neither is Gunn Toten pals. Well, I wouldn't call myself a pal of Jim's, but if he ain't around, I got no business here. Get around here, boy. He sure can't be a friend of Jim's, Red. No, he couldn't be found here. What do you make of it? If he ain't a friend, he might be just the opposite. Yes. You're right about everything, Red. If he isn't a friend, he must be an enemy. And you followed Tex. That's right, Kimmethummy. Him go to town, ask about Jim. What do you find in Rabbitville? Scar's better. I saw him on the street. Jim's bullet only caught him in the shoulder. And that's what Hunter thinks last night. It looks like trouble, but I can't see where Tex fits into the picture. We go to town when I get dark? Asked, Hunter. It won't be safe until after midnight. But that's when things will start to happen. Somebody outside. Hmm. It was 12 o'clock. It's too early for Mary. Yeah. Yeah, I can hear footsteps. Coming around this side to the window. The moon. I can see how pretty good. Why are you... Who's making all the noise? What's it? Mary? Sheriff, I locked Jim in the schoolhouse last night. You what? Come along, I'll tell you about it on the way. Locked him in the schoolhouse? Yes, he'd been in a fight over in Rabbitville. He'd killed a man. You heard about that. Jim and Scar had a fight. Scar wasn't hurt bad. Jim didn't know that last night, and I didn't find it out until this morning. I locked him in a schoolhouse, and I didn't come to let him out in jail just a few minutes ago. I was gonna make him get out of the country so he'd be safe from Scar and his friends. Good idea. Red and I had door fixed. Red must be waiting outside of town now with a horse and supplies, but I opened the door to the schoolhouse. Oh. Go on. Jim wasn't there. You said only? No. A glass on one of the windows was broken. It had been forced open. So that's how we get out. I think so. There was a stain on the floor. A red stain. You mean it? Here we are. I'll show you. There's something more I've got to tell you. Open the door. It isn't locked, but I just can't do it. Sure. There. When the moonlight hits the floor, you can see for yourself. Did you go any closer than this? Yes, when I was here before, but... I understand, Mary. You don't have to go in again. Sheriff, there's a man in there. I got you covered in Mr. Reach for the ceiling. Anything you say, Sheriff. You! This man came to our ranch this morning. He was looking for Jim. That's true enough. Scott sent him over here to kill him. Where is he? What have you done with him? Here's my story, Sheriff. I was in bed over at the hotel, and I heard a shot. Nothing unusual about that in this town, but it was sort of late, and it made me curious. Got dressed and walked along the street till I saw that broken window. You broke it yourself. You broke it when you killed my brother. Let him finish, Mary. Well, I was around the side when Miss Ashlyn rode up. I hear her open the door and go in. Then I heard her scream and run out again. That's when I decided to investigate. What have you done with him? Where is he? I've told you all I know. It ain't enough. He's a killer, Sheriff. Right. And today he's put his neck in the noose. You're under arrest for the murder of Jim Ashlyn. The curtain falls on the first act of our Lone Ranger story. Before the next exciting scenes, please permit us to pause for just a few moments. I'll to continue our story. On the morning after Tex was arrested for the murder of Jim Ashlyn, the sheriff, Judd and Red, met in the lawman's office. Something must be done. Well, doing all they can, Judd. Matter of fact, I'm exceeding my authority holding Tex in jail. We can't even prove there's been a murder committed until we find Jim. We're gonna find him. What do you think we're trying to do? I've had 20 minutes since the daybreak. Get sure that you won't find Jim in town, Sheriff. He's gotta be in town. Tex didn't have time enough to take him outside any place and then get back to the schoolhouse. He recovered every square inch. He ain't here. Don't you see what that means? Sure. He finished in the thin air. Either the vatter or Tex had somebody working with him. Hey. Why not? I'm sure of it. Get a party together right away and go after him. Now, wait a minute, Sheriff. You're forgetting this, Andre, whoever he is, there's a 12-hour start on you. Yeah, not much chance. We've got to try it anyway. Why don't you let Tex lead you to him? Hey, you loco. I'm talking sense. He hasn't changed his story a little bit from last night. Why should he? That's the reason he stayed behind because he knew you couldn't do anything to him. And if you're so sure of himself, how do you expect me to get a lead out of him? Let him escape. What's that? Listen. He must have fixed it up with his sidekick to meet him someplace. All right. Once he's free, he'll go there. All you have to do is follow him. With a posse. Nine chances out of ten, you'll find Jim. It's only one thing. What? Well, if you were to fix it up for him to escape, he'd know something was wrong. Just tell him I can't hold him any longer. That might work. But here's a better idea. All right. Let's have it. Listen to him. Tonight. Tell him the town's getting ready to lynch him. Yeah. Tell him he did me a big favor by getting Jim. What's that? I thought more of the kid than you did John. You don't know what you're talking about. Well, I was only judging by the way you talked. Anyway, this is only to make Tex think it's all in the level. Oh, I see. Want me to try it, Sheriff? Yeah. I'll let you in to see him tonight. You can slip McKee and leave a horse in back of the jail. When he hide tears without a town, we'll follow him. Meanwhile, Mary Ashland was alone at the ranch house. That must be either Joe or Red. I wonder if they've found anything. A mask, men. Miss Ashland? You want a scars, men? I'm your friend, and I'm trying to help you. Do you know where my brother is? That's why I came here. I want to take you to him. You? Oh, no. Just tell me where. Not in poor Red. He's alive, Miss Ashland. Alive? Badly wounded, unconscious, but still breathing. You're the only one I can take care of. You're the only one I can take care of. You're the only one I can take to him. This isn't a trick. You'll have to take my word for that. I will, Masked Men. There's anything I can do. I'm ready. It seems to be resting comfortably. Yes. Tonto did everything a doctor could. There's nothing more to do but wait. Tonto? A mask? And a horse called Silver? I know who you are, and I'm glad I came with you. As soon as it gets dark, we'll have to leave you here alone. It's almost dark now. Oh, has Tonto gone? Must have left here four hours ago. We're expecting someone, Miss Ashland. The man your brother had a fight with in Abbotsville. You mean you're expecting him here, in this canyon? No, in town. But why should he go there? You must have heard that Jim was shot last night. You believe that tech shot him? Of course. Well, I don't. Tonto and I weren't close enough to be sure, but we had no reason to doubt it. Scar paid him. Scar doesn't pay anyone. He gets paid. Oh, I don't understand it at all. You wrote up to the schoolhouse just a minute or two after the shot. You thought you saw the man who fired it, but instead of going after him, you tried to save Jim's life. Why did you carry him away? Why didn't you leave him there? We hope to have the answer for all your questions tonight. The information you've given me has helped a lot. Techs may have more. You're going to see him? If we can manage it. He's in jail. But the windows of his cell open on the outside.  Yes, Miss Ashland. For instance, we had a good reason to pick this canyon for our camp. Do you realize that if rustlers were to try and drive off part of your herd, they'd have to come through here? I suppose they would, but what rustlers are you talking about? We haven't been in trouble with them for ages. Listen, that must be Toto now. Harry! Did you see him, Toto? Uh-huh.  Did you get close enough to hear anything? Uh-huh. Then set time. When Posse go after Techs. What do you mean? Sheriff, let Techs escape. Go after him with Posse. What for? What does he hope to gain by that? Him think Techs lead him to Jim. So that's it. Now what you do now? We're going to arrange it so Techs will lead them to Jim. Here, Silver. Now you do that. It will be dark with the time we reach town. We're heading to the jail. When will you be back? That depends on when they set Techs free. You said that the men... Posse will follow him here. And when they reach this canyon, they'll find more than they expected to. Come on, Silver. Now let's count. You did me a favor by getting rid of Jim, Techs. Yeah. I can believe that. I heard you fixing up a score to start that fight over in Abbotsville. That's all? Yeah. Jim was supposed to be killed then, wasn't he? He would have been. Scar's gun hadn't stuck in the holster. You know I didn't shoot him, Red. You mean that? You're innocent? I can't make you out. Whoever it was that killed Jim did me a favor. Just remember that. Whether you want to admit it or not, it'll make any difference to me. All right, we'll forget it. What brings you here? If you stay here, they'll lynch you. So I got it fixed for you to escape. How? Here's a key. It unlocks your cell door, the door to the office. I got it off the sheriff's key ring. I'll need a horse. There'll be one waiting in the back of the jail. You gonna watch? Yeah. Then wait for an hour. I'll have the sheriff out of the way by then. An hour. 11 o'clock. That's right. Make your break at 11 o'clock. You can be over the border by morning. Good luck. All right, Mass Man, he's gone. Good thing the roof of this place is flat and low. I don't have to tell you what he said, do I? No, Tex. Shall I use the key? Of course. I'll be waiting just outside of town. And then we open the sheriff's eye. One hour, Tex. We'll see you then. Here he comes, Tonto. Uh-uh. He'll ride plenty fast. You see that big cloud of dust beyond him? That's the posse. You're afraid to let him go? They're afraid to let him get too far away. They're all material, Mass Man. They ought to keep farther back. They expect me to lead them to any hideout. Well, let them keep us inside all the way. Come on, soldier. There's three of them. They're riding south. I say they're heading straight for the border. We can stop them before they get there. Yeah, but they need time to close in yet. There's still a chance they'll lead us to Jim. You're right. And now they're breaking away from the trail and heading to the west. The west? You know the country over there better need Jed. What are we getting into? I'd say they'd end up at the south entrance of the canyon. Which canyon? The one that cuts down from my south pass. What's the matter with your heads? They can lose us in that country. We've got to catch them before they reach it. Get up there!  I use some iron. Won't hold up much longer at this speed, Mass Man. That's the entrance to the canyon just ahead of us. I see it now. We'll rain up there. We'll rain from past the Kimmer Zombie. Yes, Tonto. Let's hope this car and his gang are already in the canyon. All right, Tex. Listen. Cattle, huh? It sounds like a thousand head. They're still above the bend, but by the time the posse gets here, we'll be able to see them. How's it come now? I got a hunch that one of them's going to shoot first and talk afterwards. He's drawing now. Shall I? I'll take care of him.  You have to get a chance. I'll put it up on one condition, Sheriff. What's that? You and Judd and Red right up here alone. You'll give yourself a piece of wood. If you still want to hold us after we finish talking to you. Come on, Jimmy. Do you have any identification text? Sure. I'll get it out. All right. Get the flavor over. Where's Jimmy? Just a moment. Don't argue, Sheriff. Hurry him back to town. You'll read this paper first. Hey, don't read no paper by this late. A match will help. What the... Marshall Chalmers? That's me. You will text Chalmers? Yes, Sheriff. Hey, don't believe it. Why didn't you let me arrest you? Why didn't you tell me who you were? Because I was trying to catch a gang of crooks. And if I was arrested for the crime, it was a chance the man who shot Jim National would overplay his hand. Well, I'll be a dog. And in case you're interested, this man here is a lone ranger. He wouldn't catch this. Well, doggone. We've been chasing the United States Marshall and the lone ranger half across the county. We had a reason for bringing you here, Judd. Look up the canyon. Get up there. You're not cold. Good tunnel. Hold his bridle. Get his gun's text. Right. It's my cattle. Rustlers, Judd. Scar and his gang. Red tip them off that you and all your men would be riding with a sheriff tonight. Red's a crook. All ladies to the bed. Hey, wait for the rest of these two ladies. Me and this gang of rustlers up the canyon. How'd you get here, Mary? The masked man brought me to take care of Jim. He? He isn't dead? No. Let's forgive him, Paul. He'll be different from now on. He's learned his lesson. Has he regained consciousness? He has. All my questions are answered. It was Red who shot him? Yes. That's a lie. He saw you. You tricked me into telling you where he was and then you went there and shot at him. I never had anything to... Jim told me why you did it. He knew that you were rustling. He told you to leave Paul's herds alone or he'd go to the sheriff. Jim did that? Yes, Paul. Take me to him. It's this way. Get up there.   So you're not only a rustler, Red.  You'll have to prove it. That won't be hard. You look. Outlaw. Throw down gun. Possibly round him up. Handy good. You'll go to jail with the rest of the gang, Red. But you'll stay there a lot longer. I'll say he will. The job's finished, Tex. That'll now be on our way. Well, I... I know you don't want thanks, masked man. But if I run up against something tough like this again, I sure hope you'll be around and lend a helping hand. We'll meet again, Tex. Adios. Adios.

What does it take to be a brand genius? That is the magic question. I think one of the most important things to become a brand genius is to make sure you've got an amazing team supporting everything that needs to get done in the brand world. And he takes collaboration, willingness to be innovative and take risks, takes a strong stomach. I'm really not a genius. It's really about team and about everybody working together. I don't think I'm a genius. I think the team that I work with is purely genius. It just doesn't, you know, it takes a village. A quest to be innovative, to be creative, to really step outside of my comfort zone when I'm given an opportunity. Striking on something as culturally relevant as dilly dilly fresh as a brand was unbelievable. I mean it's something our marketer dreams of. The first thing and the last thing and anything in between it's all about having a great team. We always knew that to disrupt culture and to get girls to get interested in computer science we were going to have to build a brand and we were going to have to be really, really, really sophisticated and smart about how we market, you know, coding to girls. And that's always been like at the center of everything that we do. I think it's about having passion. I think it's about being curious. And I think it's loving your craft. And there are millions of textbooks and templates and formulas and houses and circles and all that kind of stuff. But in the end, a bit of magic has to happen in addition to all that scientific approach. When people talk about the word genius, I really think it's not about an individual. It's a really collaborative effort amongst a whole bunch of people. Spreading the movement and the gospel everywhere is like what's up next.

I told you he wasn't come out of the screen Hey, he didn't listen to his friend though. He didn't want to stay behind So that's what he gets. He suffers the wrath of sonic EXE man Hey, what's up, man? There's nothing over there. Anita. Oh, there you go. None. No one likes this niche Uh-oh, who's this niche here? Let's go check it out. Who's this niche? Okay, it says what's on your mind strength things keep happening to me and I feel like it's all my fault. Uh-oh Okay, I would say that man Okay, wait, they're dead. Just hold up. I'll be back. I've lost two friends because of this Oh, so it's other friend that just died to sonic EXE Oh, man. Yes, 911.  They don't want It's other friends. Yeah, and I I uh-oh Not this guy again. Just keeps appearing everywhere Okay, oh, okay. He's terrified. He's like shocked. He doesn't know what to do Oh, no, he dude. He choked him out. Oh, man He just choked him and pinned him to the wall poor guy, man Rep the piece of that guy. It was some max maxity max What did you do all the other stories time for justice? Justice have to be served. This is my fault Oh, no, what's going on here? He keeps blaming himself if you guys notice that okay, uh, how can he cause this? How can he cause these how can he cause this many deaths? He's around the corner Be careful.   Oh, that's his father Father and son. Uh-oh, let's see if he believes him now Behind you. There's this guy behind you, man. Where'd he even come from? You heard him? Uh-oh So they don't believe he doesn't believe his own child, man Okay. Oh, no, not this guy Dude and he's back again Okay, uh, there's no way No, while there is a way now you see them for yourself Okay, what it's like a family reunion of killers here, man. You got ghost face.  I don't know why this doesn't make any sense Why would he be on unless this guy is uh, this guy is there's something and he's a bad guy We got sonic xe here too and the scally belly, man And then the dad is like So terrified. It doesn't know what to do Oh my god Dude, what is going? Oh, we even got the We got the officer hat on us. Hey look, we're a cop now, man All right, so this is pretty crazy this whole story Thinking over might be canceled origins. What he might cancel this one. So let's go into this one Oh, man, it's closed. You can't even go in there We might be too late. You might never find out the origin of all this, man But why would he take it off if it's part of the uh part of the storyline flashback What dude this is like a ripoff fnaf or something the future Not the future since 2008 man. We're 20 we're 2018. That's like 10 years ago. Okay Where is he? What are you looking for? We need to go now get out now Oh god, wait. Oh, okay. I thought that was a creepy little Oh my god. What is that like a fox is a pirate wait Where'd you get that? I want to get it. Did she get it from him? No, I think you got it from but that's pretty cool All right, so let's continue. Crap. It's locked. Oh, no They're trying to escape at the door like so they can't go anywhere. I could save your son, but at a small price Uh-oh Cuff. Yes, anything. No, don't do it. You're gonna make a deal with like some demon, man That never ends pretty well Okay says make it done Uh-oh, no What she got turned into the skeleton wait till the whole time is a mom the skeleton I'm not sure it might be Okay, uh, I don't know. I just feel you're okay, dude Okay, so he doesn't feel very well. He just feels weird. Just look at his face Why is his eyes so far apart, man? That's pretty freaky. Okay, man Different he feels different. What's up, anata? What are you looking at? Well, you can't even see anything man There's nothing it's pitch black Well, we can't really tell how he's really feeling. Oh wait Oh 666 there you go. Oh my god. So is he Is he like turning into gas 666? Why do we have a long hair, man? My god, what's going on? I keep collecting all these things from the characters from the models in here So he kind of like fixed the storyline because they used to be like He used to have a lot of different random stories But now he fixed the storyline back together, which is pretty cool But I guess that's pretty much it For the storyline, man. It was kind of confusing, but we did it. We did it Like we tried to do in a sequential order. Hey, what's up timeless? He came back Right, man. Why I guess that's it for these stories because it says That they are gonna bring one more. It says coming soon. He might continue off the storyline Or he might just make brand new stories Which I think he should because Because you want different stories, it would be cool if he had like Freddy Krueger one Or like a Jason one normal stories. Oh, there you go. These are the normal ones. Oh, look granny coming to him Waiting about that. Oh slender soon. Okay, so we have two new stories coming soon We have granny and slender man. I think we already did all these over here clothes crampus Yeah, we already did man. All right. We'll say bye tweeter There you go, buddy We'll thank you guys for watching. Thank you guys for the amazing support This was some hallowed scary stories if you guys enjoyed the video make sure to slap the like button If you need a channel make sure to subscribe and turn that notification bell on Hey, she has a balloon. Oh, yeah, I have it too. Let's fly out of here, Anita. And now we'll see you guys next time. Bye


Hi everyone, my name is Fabrizio Buzeto, but you can call me Fabs and I'm going to present today about how open source helped with my career And this is the this story of an average person If you're expecting here to hear about A hero's journey. So this is not the place We are very used to listen to stories of how people Overcome their hardships and how they achieve success and how they manage to Get to a new level Of course, I'm going to tell about How how open source Helped me to improve my career, but this is not a hero's journey. There is no end to it There are some lessons along the way But it's not my intention here to present everything as how every hardship Managed to help me achieve some kind of success in my life but I hope you enjoy and Even though it's not a hero's journey It's an average person's journey and it can be quite enjoyable Right, so first of all my intention today is to Get away a bit from this small circle that we used to talk about that is famous open source people There are many many presentations about how this person's Achieve a success how they contributed to the community How their projects helped other people and this is good And I don't see this is a bad thing but there is too much content about it and Also, we have a lot of content about how people Can achieve a status of a full-time person in the open source community? How can they? Become a full-time worker in this area and these are very very important people But this is also not my intention here my intention is to focus on the other circles in our life that is people that are Occasionally working with open source like an occasional contributor people that once of in a while they do something related to open source or General tech people that they don't even see themselves as part of the open source community or the open source environment And also other people that are not intact that they live in a world where open source influence there Make having influence in their lives Then they're not aware. So these are the people that I'm trying to focus here And I believe the examples that I have here they can help Drive a little bit this outer circles towards the inner circles a little bit And if I can manage to do that, I'll be very very pleased Starting with myself I want to tell you that I'm a full-time developer. I've been coding since 2002 This presentation is full of my personal opinions. So be warned about that Of course, I have the influence of friends and other people that I talk about How open source changed their lives and how open source is part of their lives and This of course changes how I see open source and how I see the contributions of open source in my life but it's worth noticing that when you have a Space of one person it can be quite biased But still I think it's enjoyable and I think it's worth Talking about so let's go I come from this small place called Brasilia. It's the capital city of Brazil And I think it's worth talking about because my career in computer science starts here My career as a coder person starts here and since it's the capital of the Brazil It's a place where politics takes a huge part and the public sector is very very strong Because of the public sector I got my first contact with Computing so back in the 90s my father worked in one of the The computing companies for the government and I got in contact with my first computer Which was a mainframe back then and I didn't know anything about it, but I loved and I said, okay, so I want to work with computers because they sound fun and And I spent most of my time unaware of what open source was Most of what I knew was how computers work it. I loved disassembled and assembled them and I got interested in them and I even remember one funny story that for me back then there was just one single open set operational system which was windows back then and I remember one friend asking me Do you know Linux and I Was back in 95 and I said, what's Linux and he said no, it's an operational system. I said, what's an operational system? He said it's just like windows and I was like, no, no, there is just windows and DOS Which like windows and he said no, no, no, it's a different one and when he showed me I said, okay it's just like DOS and I wasn't aware of open source until I got into the university when I got into university I first have my contact with open source and most of my contact with open source my first contact of Open source in the university was back again the fight between operational systems so it was windows versus Linux and most of the people in the university was talking how Linux was better how Linux was Brought you more freedom and there was this whole discussion how the movement of open source could help you improve in your career as a developer and that everybody should take part on it and I think this whole discussion Was very nice for me as a as a young developer to know because you have this sense of How this profession that you are taking part of Is involved in something bigger and when you see that movement you you you can feel that You can take more part and be more involved in bigger things and it was back then that I started working with Linux and And and the the feeling of working with Linux back then was very hacky and it reminded me of how hackers work it in when you are in in the movies because Hackers are always using the terminal and you have to remember the commands and you're always trying to compose things and Trying to just solve these little puzzles So this was very fun and this incited me to to learn more and know more and have this whole new Movement around it was very very helpful for me as a developer And it was a gateway to to learn more about what is open source and how open source works and The universe was also a very nice Environment to learn about it because there was many people Involved in this area in talking about it and presenting and you have very many conferences and presentations and talks And so this was very helpful for me as a developer But not for everyone because when you talk about open source in this way And you have all this discussion about what's free in open source the different degrees of freedom the different licenses and How how this is a movement? It sounds fun and Interesting if you are you get hooked to it, but if somebody Had to see this as a friction point It's just a barrier to understand what's open source and especially when you talk about Open source as a movement I come from a country that has many Many problems with Different types of movement, especially socialist movements and people thinking What about this free stuff? How can we make money? How will you be survived if it's not a product or something? And it was very hard for some people to accept open source because I if it's free It's low quality if it's free How people will be paid to do this is it's a socialist software movement? How does it work? So this is one of the barriers that we saw that I saw with many people in With open source so even among my friends in the university not everybody was on board and They don't even want it to know and like I said most people got their first contact with Windows And when you're saying no, you have to get rid of Windows and you have to brace the free open source environment with Linux And you are wrong about it You create this friction people don't want to change they need to change you have to make it as an option not as a Obligatory thing so this is something that that was very very hard And I think it was a mistake on how the movement Especially where I was presented itself and For me, this is the first contact that most people have with open source is as the operation systems Most people outside development They are not aware of what our operational system is Even our days if you're most people Not even think about their computers. They'll think about when they think about computers in general they'll think about their cell phones and Both major Operational systems today. They are based on open source even though Mac OS is it's closed it has a huge contribution from open source and people are are Involved and they are they're impacted by open source even today and When and even today we created this kind of friction with people Oh, if you want to be a true developer, you have to choose Mac OS or otherwise you are losing time Configuring lots of things or if you're a true developer, you have to use Linux. You should not use Windows so this kind of friction it's very harmful and Me myself, I see that the operation systems should be free What we should be focusing here is how all this operation operational systems today They have contributions from open source from Windows to Mac to Linux even though the degrees of Contributions are different. All these companies have involvement in open source and we can use this as As leverage to introduce people to why open source is important Instead of creating this kind of friction and understand this was a very important moment to myself because these open apps to Have more conversation instead of having conversation was I I would just bully Another person that is developing because that person likes to use Windows and convince them to use Linux I'll just embrace that they use Windows and ask about What other contributions they can have there are many open source Platforms that they can use in Windows that will help them. So instead of get them away from open source They can get closer to open source So after the spirit in the universe I started learning a bit about Java and Java back then was a huge deal was the main Object-oriented programming language And for a beginner like myself Was it was very nice to learn something that helped me to improve my coding skills and Since I was in the capital city of the country. There are many corporate Initiatives that involve a Java so it was very easy to get a job using Java back then So I started coding Java got a job involved in it and And even though Java Is not a Symbol of open source as a language It has a huge community around open source And I remember back then that the most iconic one was a Pash Pash has a huge library of Components that you could use with Java and they were all open source and you had many others Outside the Pasha that we could side on like J unit and others and This got me hooked up like even though I was working in a corporate environment with many paid and pay walled options I Worked with even a closed Implementations of Java like Oracle Oracle back then now everything's Oracle and And But this got me interested in open source and one of the things that Most interested me here is that learning more about this language that incentivized people to create and contribute within open source made me More involved in in this community and Then I started looking for other languages in most language today. They are open source So the major language today like Ruby Python and JavaScript all of them are open source And they are the first contact that you're gonna have most developers today. They are going to start with an open source language and you you you you get involved with it and This is a very good start if you if you want to to bring people in and make them more involved with software development and especially software development in open source, so This is the second stage that I believe everybody should take a part on After that Again on a patch. I remember my first time contributing with open source. So I remember when just JSF was released The first implementation was made available by a patch and And the first implementation was very buggy very unstable and I was looking for some kind of way to To make something work. I have this bug in my code and I could not find it. And so I just download the code and In Get involved with the code reading it and debugging it. I found this very characteristic code. It was like a six or seven if statements One inside the other and I just made my first contribution there and I managed to patch it up send a contribution and I felt so so amazing because like I could fix something in a library that was not mine and I really needed for that work that I need to to present and to to deliver to to my client and And there was not much bureaucracy involved because When I I did this I did just for my project and then I just submitted But I could use for my project my fix my patch without needing the permission from the apache Foundation to use it. So it felt amazing and Most people have the same situation So today the major platforms that I've been used like rails or media or Django They are open source and anyone can just download it Get to see the code. They can debug it and find things that they can improve and get better at it so with Rails for example, I did many many patches in many internal structures within rails, so I didn't have to wait for the next Next version to improve it The same with others like Django and Meteor so platforms and frameworks. They are the second Best thing that people can can use to to improve and to to get better and get this new contact with open source So if you look at the world today, we have 27 million software developers in the world Almost half of them have a github account But not most of them are actively contributing with open source This is not a huge issue, but this shows how unbalanced this is Not everybody will have the the urge to contribute and we should not expect that I'm not saying of course that all github accounts or having a github account is necessary to contribute But this is a good proxy to evaluate the numbers and we have a huge amount of Projects like we have more than 50 million open source projects in the world right now and they are growing most of the the new developers the The world sees like one one point half million new developers coming to the market every year and No, but not everyone will contribute with one of these projects But when we compare with the working population We have more than three billion people in the working population of the world We developers are a very very small part of them and we should not expect everyone to be contributing with code and especially because we should look at open source and Not as just the type of product that we're doing or the type of code that we're building We should look at open source as one of the ways that we can build software as we can build products Because it's one of the main strategies that are available being open source can be a huge advantage and Giving this kind of feel to people outside Coding people it's very very important and this is becoming more and more clear to to more areas of Software development as we can see many top companies nowadays. They embrace open source These are one of the top companies that they have as their core Open source products that everybody can contribute open eight and Work around it. They have huge communities. They have huge Ecosystems that are built around their software and being open source made them more valuable because of this strategy and we see more and more of these companies every day and This is happening not because only developers are involved in open source No, this is happening because we have more people around and Involved with developers making this decision. We have CEOs. We have Product people have signers. We have CX people and these people They are also seeing that open source can be a valuable strategy For example, why combinator one of the biggest accelerators in the world at least 10% of the The companies that they invested in the past couple of years Have been involved in products that are open source first Which means that open source is the main drive of their product the main version of their product We can cite MongoDB post hog and many others that the basis is Something that is open and free for everybody to contribute, but they are still a company that makes money and They can nurture that that community around it. So the idea here is to show that it's Being around open source and being involved in open source is a good strategy to build good products And also to build good companies and showing other people that this is a possible solution That's a possible path that should be involved. Of course, we should not Forget about major product projects in open source that are not necessarily Commercial or involved in a company specifically to have many great products and many great software that are built Around these communities and they go from small products that You can use in your everyday to two big products that are the basis of Great companies and they are all open source. They are not commercial in any way and Giving visibility to these products is important is one of the main things that we do as a community to share the Situations and this product, but it's also important to to phrase that this is one of the strategies that are available to us now talking a bit about the path that we can have To get more contact with open source, right? so usually when we're talking about open source we We focus a lot on these two Last items so we focus on creating new open source software or projects or Contributing to open source projects and software and this is good and all because New projects, they are fun they address new problems and They are what will Improve the community bringing new solutions new contributions and New ways for us to address problems that we have But this is not the only way we have other ways that we can Make our way through the through the open source community and improve and help other people to get involved as well and For me the first thing that we need to do if we want to to get involved in open sources to use And I consider everybody that is using open source to be part of the community Because they are needed if you don't have users You're not the delivering value and this is important for a commercial software as well as an open source software So using is the first part if people using you have a real problem and you are delivering value and you are part of that community as well and After you start using you can start learning about that software and Learning it's great because it means that you are interested in improving How we are using that software it means that you are involved enough to to get to know more and And to get deeper knowledge about how that can be used in new context new problems And how can you push to the limits what you're using? So To give an example when you start to use Linux you can use links as just a user You know nothing for your Linux is just a way to access the internet. You don't need nothing to know about Linux But then you can start learning more and learning how links works How the package works? How can you improve? How can you customize? How can you make it do some more tasks for you? How can you automate things? So as you learn you can You you you get to know more how that the pieces of software can Be part of your life and the more you learn the more you want to share and As you share you bring more people in and when you bring more people in you expand the community So learning and sharing is how we grow as a community as an open source community And like I told you when I was in the university Somebody told me about how the movement of open source was going the university and how I could get involved And that person that gotten involved They were deep into the this movement and they were learning more about it. So using learning and sharing should be as incentivized as contributing in creating because they are the the previous steps the base steps that you need before you can Then decide to contribute To an existing open source Software or to create your own I'm not telling you that you need to go all through all these steps to create our own open source Software. No, you can do you can jump out of the steps. There is no limits here I'm just saying that usually we just focus on this last two and This is very limiting especially when you're considering How broad the the open source can Value can Can impact people in the world like a show in the beginning with the circles and how everybody Is contributing we can focus more on more people if we ease the barrier for people to enter So when we start to look for ways to people to use it to learn about it and to share it We are easing these barriers and we were making more people interested in open source and we don't need to everybody Say that we are talking about this. We just need to talk about the software itself If people will get involved and know how this is important for them because people care about their problems and If we're bringing a solution to them, they will care about the solution that we're bringing and then they'll get involved And how are the ways that we can do this? The the the main way is to create a community So a community is a good way for us to to gather people around Common goal a common problem a common context and to share how we how we're solving that problems and Being part of community is very important Because it's a support group that can help people to keep using what you're What you're developing and what that community is developing and also to improve What is being developed? Another way to contribute is to teach So when you teach something you're making more people aware of how to use the software and how to To solve their problems with that software and also when you teach you learn a lot about their problems you can learn about the boundaries of the software being developed or the problems that you can you can solve or can customize and Another way is to write so blog posts books Guides tutorials everything that you write about software makes it as another way for you to to share about it and to contribute and Finally to talk about it when you talk with a friend or your share So these are all the ways that you can contribute with the the open source community with an open source software that is not effectively coding we usually only focus on coding and Holding is very important without code the software will not exist But you also need to focus on other things and people can contribute with many other ways and these are some of these ways that we can expand an open source community Without needing to explicitly coding Especially because I think we don't value as much These other contributions and they are as valuable as Coding so everybody that is teaching about how to use Rails or Django, they are as important as people that are coding these platforms because they are They are expanding the community around it and they are expanding the people that are using they're expanding their use case And this makes like every time you teach somebody to use rails You're making rails more important because more people you use it More people would be incentivized to to contribute it Also the people that are coding in rails They'll see that their software as more valuable because there are more people using and more problems being solved So everybody wins so teaching is as important as coding as well as well as people that are talking about it because if somebody didn't tell me about Django, I'll never know about it and I'll never use it and I never know how great it is And how I could use it to to improve my ways into software development So we need to to value this contribution as much as the others So let's recall about the ways that we can Get involved or getting contact with Open source so the first channel that we have is operating systems Usually is the first one that people get involved in open source even without knowing about it And we need to take care about the how we we getting get people who can The second is programming languages. Usually people get involved with open source So we found programming language usually an open source in programming languages Later on in with platforms and frameworks that we get introduced them to open source My hope here is that we managed to to improve a little bit these circles and Get a little bit of the people in the in the tech community as an occasional open source People would be great, but even if I get a little bit closer to that circle, I'll be very very much happy So thanks a lot for for being with him today and I'm open to comments and questions Feel free to reach me out here. I'm a context feel free I'll be glad to to answer any questions or just talk about what I talked today. So thanks a lot. Bye. Bye
