So you may have noticed I've largely avoided talking tiktok on this channel as I think there's a crucial part of being a talking head that people trust to only talk about what you're a real expert on. And because I'm a bit long in the tooth as they say and tiktok was the place the youths were congregating, I felt like maybe I should pick my battle on a field where I could win the battle. But things have changed. I've studied up over the past year and a half and the app is hitting a new point in its growth where it's not just the youth dancing around and tiktok is now for everybody. Which means you should probably be there. I mean, after all, they've surpassed youtube and watched time per month as well as boasting a billion users worldwide.  Hi, I'm Jesse Cannon, a music marketing nerd who's teaching musicians how to grow their fanbase from 0 to 10,000 fans and this is Muse Formation. So one of the things I feel like people always forget is whatever way a social network starts off, it rarely is that in just a year or two. Let's remember Facebook started off as a place where college kids connected with their classmates then became the most important place to market your music.  Let's remember just a decade you also always just heard that Instagram was only a place for narcissists taking photos of themselves then it became it was for kids that I remember some truly deranged takes that it was the only happy place on the internet and now it's just the place where we converge to get updated on everyone and everything we're interested in and I tell you all this to say that if you're saying you're too old or not hip enough for tiktok you've missed that we've hit a new phase of the app and all are welcome and beginning to congregate there so please drop the shyness and get in now I know some of your hesitance is that you really don't want to do silly dances and degrade your stoic polished facade since after all you're a serious artist but allow me to put you at ease with some good news do you have to do stupid dances no do you have to do backflips no do you have to twerk okay I'm going in but if you're still not sold let me tell you the most important reason you should be on tiktok all I hear from you all is you want to get on that instagram explore page so tons of people will learn who you are and again expose to your music but let me tell you what's 10 times more powerful than the instagram explore page tiktok's actual feed that everyone watches all day long in fact the average user time is almost an hour now per day when I hear about how everyone wants to get on that explore page on Instagram I laugh since so many users don't even look at that but the main feature of tiktok is like its explore page that learns exactly what you like and then serves you more of it most of what you're actually served on it are people who you don't follow instead the app is truly genius at learning what you like and don't like and giving you new people or making content similar to what you already have enjoyed I like many other people who use it and continually astounded at how good it got at finding what I like and ignoring what I don't give a f**k about but to spell this out for you if you are thinking about joining one of the things I am most enthused about for musicians which is enabling tons of music discovery in both the feed and when your song becomes a tiktok trend and trust me I've seen it over and over again if your song starts to get used in lots of tiktoks people then run over and stream it on spotify unlike what happens on that instagram explore page many times there's so much opportunity to find your audience I think we're finally at the point where if you don't get started today you're going to look back an absolute regret that you didn't rethink what you know about the platform since even if you find what you've seen on it totally cringe tiktok has changed enough that you can find your niche of what you do there just as you probably eventually did on instagram or twitter or god forbid so if you're convinced to try it now let me talk to you about how it's changed and what you should be doing now that there's a billion people there the diversity of what people enjoy and want has far exceeded just good-looking people doing silly dances we're now in this era of the platform that I find to be one of the most promising and exciting ones when the rules are changing and you can explore and exist freely and create without boundaries as we're not all settled in what the boundaries are yet you don't need to watch the trends unless you want to and instead you could do what you would want to see and what you would like to see if someone else did and what's amazing is the algorithm after you do that can help others who would want that find it now I know for a lot of you you can be scared of embarrassing yourself by doing something far off the reservation that will be cringe if that's your fear I have a simple suggestion for you use the search function look up some hashtags of the music genre or some of your interests and follow them look it up from time to time and just scroll around if you look up at what I have on the screen now you can see how to bounce between using what's most popular or just seeing some of the most relevant ones that have been recently posted watch what other people are doing and get a feeling for tiktok and even if those interests are things like broke English literature or obscure 90s video games there's still people making tiktoks about that stuff here but one of the reasons so many people were turned off of tiktok for so long is it seemed like this super dancing based way of telling stories and for the rhythmless or less performative amongst us it didn't feel like this was our place to dwell but that has changed now that the platform has expanded so much now I know I talk about storytelling all the time but truly tiktok is a storytelling platform like literally the video I saw I get shared the most this week was just a girl talking about how some dude scammed her by taking her to taco bell on a date and let's remember tiktok is all about storytelling I have a whole playlist on how you tell better stories to promote your music which you can watch now or it's in the description below but here's the headspace I want you to get in you can be yourself on this platform and just observe the format people use to communicate and tell stories or jokes or to learn people about their music and that's the thing here that I think a lot of people were thrown for is they see themselves promoting their music by putting a clip of music video or playing a song like they do on instagram and they didn't think that was acceptable on tiktok but guess what now it's everywhere the days where tiktok is not just a place to keep your audience updated if people are following you is now behind us you can post exactly that and get discovered by new fans as long as you play by the rules I know a lot of you just want to get the word out about your music and you can do tiktoks like hey guys here's our new music video whatever you want to do tell a quick story play your music video you can make videos about your opinions on music current events culture tell people five records you love anything goes there's no rules and everyone's making the rules today and that's what's fun about it and all sorts of things are working right now to get music discovered so you should be doing that no matter what type of music you make since there's an audience here for it and that was a good time to tell you if you are like jesse where are the examples of this there's not enough time in this video to get there but the next one in the series does just that so leave a comment that subscribe and get notified when I post videos so you don't miss the next one where i'm going to give you tons of examples on what you could be posting on tiktok and much much more another way that tiktok has changed is there's now videos of people explaining like quantum physics that have millions of views truly if you know something you think is rare knowledge tiktok is about sharing that and that could build relationships with people that get them to listen to your music but if you just want to promote your music you can make so much creative content around existing footage you have from photo shoots music videos and talk so much about your songs so many people are showing little bits of their songs and showing how they did it they're talking the meaning of two lines of a lyric for a minute in a video they're showing themselves or other people enjoying their music an inception in a fan to listen through that and if you want to learn more about that i made a video i think was one of my viewers favorite videos i've ever made on how using psychological emotional appeals can get people to stream your music if you want to watch that it's on the screen now or in the description one of the strangest things about tiktok is before people dive in they often think it's way more vacuous than it actually is because they get served up some seriously dumb dumb people making things i mean i'm not going to deny that the most concussed idiots flock to this platform but if you let the algorithm learn what you like suit enough the clout goblin zombies disappear and you can find your people but creating on tiktok is actually incredibly interesting there's so many video manipulation tools that could do trippy funny or illustrative things once you explore the creation tools it's hard not to get curious about what you can do with them and the fun that could be had one of the other things i want to impress upon you is tiktok is way more creative than any social network we've ever had truly the tools that they have given you to play with if you're a creative person are just so much fun and you really can go wild i've been messing around with making tiktoks for a month which by the way you can follow me there or on any other social network at at jesse cannon but truly i'm getting addicted to just playing with the tools i don't even post that much until i feel like i've done something great i actually think that's one of the main reasons the platform has grown so fast is the possibilities to do cool things are just so vast one of the most important parts of the platform is that because it serves you to people similar to you and interested in the same things as you it really helps you find your community it could be where an influential person in your genre hears of you it can be where someone who wants to collab with you hears you i seriously hear about that happening constantly it can connect you with rs you play shows with or do cool things because literally what the algorithm does best is connect people with similar traits it's truly amazing for finding community and if all the reasons i told you here weren't appealing enough this is probably one of the most slept on perks of the platform since nothing is better at introducing you to the people who are similar to you but one of the other things you should consider about tiktok is if you are making music that has any sort of momentum meaning even a few thousand plays you should be searching for your songs and encouraging any fans who use them in tiktoks since this is a great way to build bonds and encourage more sharing that gets your music heard since after all tiktok is a really big platform for people sharing music i mean i've been finding some songs i love on the platform in the past year and truly sometimes just searching my favorite genres i found some of my favorite songs of the last year but back to you it's simple to search for your songs by either typing in your artist name or artist and song name and then doing a search on sounds for any tiktoks with them in it but remember sometimes people don't tag the sounds so searching your artist name or song name can find unattributed uses but learning the fans who are passionate about you and encouraging the spreading is how so many tiktok trends grow and we all know if you go viral on tiktok it can be tens of millions if not hundreds of millions of streams on spotify and youtube there's way more you can do with that and we'll get into that in part two okay if you're left wanting to know more i have great news for you in the next few weeks i'm going to put out a lot of videos on tiktok i'm going to keep going in on how you blow up on tiktok and trust me this is just the start if you have things you want me to address definitely drop that in the comments so please like subscribe and get notified so you don't miss any of that if i've made more videos on tiktok you can probably click it on the end screen right now as well on the screen is a playlist on how to go from zero to ten thousand fans as well as how to blow up on spotify click one and learn more thanks for watching


So, uh, do you kind of feel at this point with the manpower shortage, like, uh, all these injuries kind of caught up to you guys tonight, uh, second night of a back-to-back, uh, against that team? Um, yeah, I think it's obviously a difficult situation, um, you know, but it is, this is sort of the place that a lot of teams are in right now.  We were there just some momentary lapses there at the end of the game and different spurts, uh, uh, to start the second half where, you know, we kind of, uh, let them go on a few different runs. And, uh, yeah, but it is tough. Definitely, you know, after a back-to-back, shorthanded, um, but you know, you can't use that as an excuse because everybody's dealing with the same sort of circumstances here at the end of the year. Brian Lewis with the New York Post. Hey, Joe, this is two-fold, uh, from the first quarter on, did they change how they were guarding you? You came out, I think, when maybe a dozen in the first quarter and then maybe two of the rest of the way, did they change how they were guarding you? And secondly, Steve mentioned that there's a chance that Katie could be back for the weekend. Could you just give us an idea how much you guys are looking forward to at least having them back out there on the court? If that's what comes to fruition. Yeah, I think, um, well, first of all, Toronto is a good defensive team. And, uh, you know, they make adjustments over the course of the game, dependent, you know, on, um, who's making plays, who's not, obviously, how they guarded Kai loaded up on them, you know, puts in a lot of the ball of screens is trying to get the ball out of his hands. And then, uh, you know, they did a better job sort of just, you know, being there on a lot of my catches, um, take, try and take away the threes, making guys put it on the deck. Um, and then, uh, second part, yeah, I think just, you know, having him back, it'll be a world of difference. Um, you know, obviously, like we mentioned earlier, you know, we're, we're obviously just extremely limited right now, eight, nine guys. So, you know, adding another body, especially somebody like Kevin will be huge. Stefan Bondi with the New York Daily News. Hey, Joe. Um, how important is it for you guys to get the number one seed? Is that something that you guys are focused on? Um, it's not really discussed much at all to be honest from coaches or the players. Um, I think our thought process is just, you know, coming out, worrying about, you know, each game that we have now looking too far ahead. Um, and as long as we play well, you know, hopefully all that stuff kind of takes care of itself. Mike Andrews, ESPN. Joe, I don't think we're going to get a chance to talk to you before Friday. So if you would allow me looking sort of ahead to the Celtics, they've been another team that sort of had the same consistency issues with who can be in and out of the lineup on any given night. What are you seeing from them? Have you seen much of them, you know, watching them throughout this season? Yeah, I mean, just, you know, keeping tabs and watching the game.  Haven't had a lot of consistency.   So, um, you know, this is a big stretch here to close out the, uh, the season for, for a lot of different teams and, you know, again, can't take anybody, uh, lightly. You can't look too far ahead. You got to focus, prepare on the game. It's a hand and, you know, that's no different with us.


Hello and welcome to this session. In this session, we will learn how to use units of measure to guide the solution of multi-step problems and interpret units consistently in formulae. Now in our earlier session, we have learned how to convert units of measure from one unit to another. In continuation with that, in this session, we will discuss how to convert rates and units of areas and volumes. Now let us discuss how to convert rates. Now we know when a rate is simplified, it has denominator as one that is unit rate. For example, Sam gives two cards per week to his grandmother. Now a derived unit is a unit that is derived from a measurement system-based unit such as length, mass or time like square feet minus square r, cubic meter, etc. Now let us discuss unit ratio. Now a unit ratio is a ratio in which denominator is one unit. For example, we have one yard is equal to three feet. Now we can write it as unit ratio three feet upon one yard. Similarly, one kilometer is equal to one thousand meters and we can write it as unit ratio one thousand meters upon one kilometer. So here we can see unit ratio is the ratio in which denominator is one unit. Now you must know that to convert from larger unit to smaller unit, multiply by appropriate unit ratio and to convert from smaller unit to larger unit, multiply by the reciprocal of the unit ratio. Now let us discuss our example values. Now here we want to convert one to three miles. Now first see here we have two units miles and r. Now here unit of length that is miles will be converted to other unit of length that is feet and unit of time that is r will be converted to other unit of time that is second. Now here let us denote r by h and second by s and minutes by simply writing and now one fifty three miles per hour can be written as unit rate one fifty three miles upon one hour. Now first of all we will convert one fifty three miles into feet and then we convert one hour to seconds. Now we know that one mile is equal to an eighty feet this can be written as unit ratio five thousand two hundred and eighty feet upon one mile to convert larger unit miles to smaller unit, multiply it by this unit ratio. So one fifty three miles is equal to one fifty three miles into five thousand two hundred and eighty feet upon one mile. Now let us convert one hour into seconds. Now we know that one hour is equal to sixty minutes and one minute is equal to sixty seconds. So one hour is equal to sixty into sixty seconds which is equal to three thousand six hundred seconds. So we have one hour is equal to three thousand six hundred seconds and it can be written as unit ratio three thousand six hundred seconds upon one hour and now to convert larger unit hour to smaller unit second we multiply one hour by this unit ratio. So one hour is equal to one hour into three thousand six hundred seconds upon one hour. Now dividing out the common units this implies one hour is equal to three thousand and six hundred seconds. Now one fifty three miles upon one hour will be equal to now here one fifty three miles is equal to now again dividing out the common units it will be one fifty three into five thousand two hundred and eighty feet and one hour is equal to three thousand six hundred seconds. So this is equal to one fifty three into five thousand two hundred and eighty feet upon three thousand six hundred seconds. Now two forty into fifteen is three thousand six hundred and two forty into twenty two is five thousand two hundred and eighty now fifteen into one is fifteen and fifteen into ten point two is one fifty three. So this is equal to two twenty four point four feet upon one second. Thus one fifty three miles per hour is equal to two twenty four point four feet per second and now let us discuss a multi step problem and here we have to find area of a rectangle that is thirty eight inches by ten yards. Now here you can see that both the dimensions of this rectangle have different units one is in inches and other is in yards. Now in the first step we will convert both the dimensions into same unit here let us convert both the dimensions into inches now one dimension is already in inches so let us convert ten yards into inches. Now we know that one yard is equal to three feet and one foot is equal to twelve inches. So one yard is equal to three into twelve inches which is equal to thirty six inches. So ten yards will be equal to ten into one yard which is equal to ten into now one yard is thirty six inches so on multiplying this is equal to three sixty inches. Now in step two let us find area of rectangle now we know that area of rectangle is length into breadth. Now length is forty eight inches and breadth is three sixty inches so this is equal to forty eight inches into three sixty inches and on multiplying this is equal to seventeen thousand two hundred and eighty square inches. Now to find area volume parameter etc. the dimensions that is length breadth height radius of the geometrical figure should have same units of measure. Now let us see how to convert units of area. Now units of area are of the form square foot square inch square centimeter etc. Now as we used unit ratios to convert units of length similarly we will use unit ratios to convert units of area. Now let us discuss an example for this. Here we have to convert three square feet into square inches. Now we know that one square foot is equal to one foot into one foot so three square feet will be equal to three into one square foot which is equal to three into one foot into one foot. Now one foot is equal to twelve inches which can be written as unit ratio twelve inches upon one foot. Now to convert larger unit feet into smaller unit inches we must get feet by this unit ratio. Now three square feet which is equal to three into one foot into one foot will be equal to three into one foot into twelve inches upon one foot into one foot into twelve inches upon one foot. Now deriving out the common units which is equal to three into twelve inches into twelve inches which is equal to four thirty-two square inches. So we get three square feet is equal to four thirty-two square inches. So in this session we have learnt how to use units of measure to guide the solution of multi-step problems and this complete session hope you all have enjoyed the session.


Hi everyone, Sean with jaspyscasebreaks.com here doing 2020-2021 hip parade basketball platinum limited edition series 38 dual case break 20 total boxes random team edition so 30 spots everyone gets a

So I've done plenty of videos on how we've built networks for other people, but a few people after seeing my office tour said How'd you build the network for your office? So I'm putting this together for you Starting at the server rack here. So at the very top, we got a couple TP link gigabit switches I bought them because they were on sale. They're thorough put and performance off I'm actually compared them to some of the higher end switches we put at clients Marginal like very small differences in speed nothing we can really notice So I went and picked those now there's two of them because The top one is our server side network and the bottom one is more the client side network We keep everything segmented so the servers are on one side and the clients on the other now Then we have our patch panel here now because this is not the only piece of our network There's not too much stuff plugged in back here All the servers are plugged in back here and a couple runs that go through the back of the building We went ahead and put back here for distance the majority of them I'm going to show you are in the rack that's up front and we'll cover that in a minute so all this is set up in a Telco rack that I acquired. I don't know maybe 15 years ago. It's a really nice looking telco rack I do like it. It's got these cool things and the elder stickers and stuff on it It's it's pretty cool. We put some lights in it because you know makes it go faster something like that But it worked. It's been working really well for us. It's really really well built. This is not flexible This thing doesn't teeter-totter around at all. I mean it is extra solid and probably weighs I'm guessing in the neighborhood of 250 300 pounds empty But it works really well. Like I said, I acquired it from a telco that went out of business They had all these cool looking racks Then we have a couple shelves in here for things like the monitor We have one hard drive that is for a backup for one Windows server. That's not mine No actual Windows servers in my rack other than when we host for a client to keep some other stuff here That's the backup system for it all the other backups that we have our synced off site I'm gonna do a separate video of kind of our software stack and how I'm doing all the backups for that then we have our pfSense box, which is the next one down and Got a cool stickers on it. It's maybe a little overbuilt I had the case and we put in, you know, this big 4u case It's really not necessary for it because it only has one SSD in it and a standard motherboard Nothing real exciting in there and a standard Intel 4 port network card to segment out the networks The pfSense because we're not even using VLANs. I mean could but all this is set up with direct hardware. So Direct physical network. So the network segmentation up there is one wires going up to one switch one wires So they're physically separate networks There's not any way to escape a VLAN because there's physically separate and then a pfSense controls the routing for it Which it controls the routing also because for the different networks There's a couple pinholes based on IP addresses that allow access to the servers and then you hit the server access list Now all the servers once again, there's two network cards in the server stack This is our virtualization system And we're using virtual box running on top of Debian and it handles all the virtual machines And this is on a radar a we put together using SSD So it boots up and is ready to go in a matter of seconds and because Debian and they're all headless It doesn't take long for the entire stack to start up So in an event of a power failure this boots up like immediately within a couple of minutes. It's everything's back up and running Then the bottom one is our free NAS box and it has several terabytes of storage and it's got segmented storage as well One side backs up my business documents and more critical stuff And especially like all my videos and everything are actually real-time synced So instead of even putting a radar a in my computer I'm using sync thing to send everything over here But then all the business documents are also synced over here over sync thing and then roll over Offsite to another location for backups and all that's done with GP GG GP GG GP GG encryption, I don't know how I'm trying to say in that And so all the data at rest is of course encrypted that way even though it's on a crypto perdition and sync thing is got It's own access list rules and encryption. We also have the backups that are being done hourly off of the server Encrypted before they're sent over there So all the database and critical files that we create through our wiki system and through our point sales system CRM system that we design the database backs up every hour From 9 a.m. Until 7 p.m. And then it does back up again starting the next morning So we're only backing up probably during our business hours and but every hour there's a backup made So we can actually do rollback snapshots and honestly databases compressed really well So they're not very big. So it's not a big storage burden and then after so many days we're purging on right now It's 30. I could set it to more if I wanted to with 30 seems adequate for now At the very bottom of this I got a couple things sitting on top of it So it's a little harder to see and it's because we didn't know where to put the extra act I got a little USB keyboard in case I have to plug anything in I just keep it handy at the bottom There's an extra tray just didn't know where to put it So we left it there we were not using it at one time We were when we had some other stuff set on it, and then it's covering up a These are 2700 watt the model numbers missing because I got a really good deal on a new ups That was missing a faceplate and so why not use it? It's nothing wrong with it It was actually still new it was like a damaged one and we got it through a vendor We knew he's like hey, I got a really great deal on this it's new but the faceplate got destroyed So I don't remember the model number on it, but I know the models on the batteries But I'm not pulling those out right now to show that It was some type of a Dell branded APC. I think is what it is But that's pretty much how the rack looks on here. It's pretty straightforward pretty simple But we keep the wiring clean it makes it really easy to manage I guess I can give you a peek real quick around the back here So in the back here this kind of comes down. We had more of this orange con do it It keeps all the wiring nice and clean when it comes to the rack Con cast left a lot of slack with the cable one and they have so that comes through with I've twisted around it's not too ugly, but this keeps this looking nice This rack has velcro straps all along the side here, which allows us to Keep all of these nice and tight and everything goes down in a nice and neat manner At the top of the rack. You see we got our power switches We coiled everything up to each of the switches in there And then it runs all the way down to the ups down at the bottom and you know Just for keeps any type of issues at bay All of this side is network cable and then all of this side is wiring So any power cords go on this side of the rack and network cabling on this side Up and down to keep everything nice and neat and the power away from the rack Not likely that there's much interference, but you know I just keep it all separate makes my life easier And you can see when we do the punch downs I know it's a little hard to see with the lighting, but they're all clean And we try to keep it clean at the back and then put all the different labels the this burning free bsd This is how it labels the network adapters The pfSense box so they're labeled exactly like that makes it easy so I know exactly where I'm plugging into And our power is installed with a 25 amp circuit with a twist lock so you can't pull this out So you're not worried about the you know it falling out or anything It's like they go in and you go in and give it a twist and pull it in and out on here So keeps that nice and solid. We have the concast mounted to the wall here before the loop goes back up and around So here's the rack at the front of the store and once again, we have so many punch downs at the front This is where the majority of the work is for the network. So we have another tp link down to all two the same ones again The gigabit tp links and here's our up links that are from there one goes to this one one goes to the bottom one goes to the top From the back and we could have run it in here and run it out But you figure hey, why not have two feet to the source because well, it's not that far of walking into the building Then we have a rainbow of colors They chose to use usually we use one solid color, but we said why not make it a rainbow The tricky part is we had this up here had this down here These are kind of these are the ones we had we could custom cut them Maybe we'll later So they exactly fit but with the tp link all the ports are here and with the 48 port They're all the way across so we kind of have this little I don't know looks kind of messy, but it's how we left it now as we had work to do and You know people who are paying us when you're not getting paid to do the work Sometimes to do a little bit different. I mean it's still clean. It's still organized, but it's not as perfection It is when we're being paid to do the work So we do it like this but that's kind of the summary of the network All these are labeled so all the different ports here are labeled across the store And all the groupings are together of them. So it's really easy to find anyone of mine here We have some unify equipment. So here are the Unify power bricks. We just set them down here in the bottom and plugged them in line Where they go. We have them labeled for the web here. So that's the powers like the unified cameras and the unified Waps that we have installed in here. So just kind of a that's a quick overview of how the network works It's pretty straightforward pretty simple. We did make it look nice by putting everything in this conduit and kind of hiding things It does make it look really cool and that goes, you know all the way down the benches and everything else So instead of having this on here now the reason we just didn't fish it in the wall This isn't wall with a fire stop in it. There's no way to go down this wall and in so we actually go down And under and I should give you a quick look at that So each of these that you see on the wall here Are wired from under here So the wiring comes from underneath. We've got it all hidden in this and goes up and the way they brought it up Was we actually drilled the holes here in the two by four goes through the two by four and up And then each one of them comes around And that goes to the other parts of the benches So keeps all the wiring nice and neat Uh, there's not much hanging down here But like I said, we couldn't come from above so we come from below and then go up To fish each of these and each of these are labeled corresponding, you know, like normal you do corresponding to the ports on there, so That was it. That's kind of our Rack tour basic network setup tour some of the physical stuff if you have any other questions comment reply We are going to I'll do another video made if I have time today Of how we have everything set up in terms of the software stack that we use and everything that actually runs the rack And some of the procedures we're using to set that up.

Wow, what's up everybody once again is Brandon Shawn and today is Friday which means I'm going to go over some sort of music resource or tool and today I want to go ahead and do a throwback to feature FM. I mentioned in the video I did two or three weeks ago on feature FM that there was another feature that I wanted to talk about but I felt like that video was too long. So now I want to talk about smart link. Now there's two specific things when it comes to smart link. My most favorite part is pre-saves. Now I said pre-saves not pre-sales you heard that right but it's a similar concept, right? If you think about pre-sales obviously those have been around for a long time but pre-saves is basically that concept brought into the streaming era. It's genius when I first heard it I was like man how come nobody did it already so pre-saves works like this. Imagine that you're doing your teaser campaigns or your promo campaigns for an upcoming single, project whatever you're about to release and when you're dropping these campaigns when people go to that link and they choose to pre-save your single or your project what's going to happen is once that single drops that single will automatically be added to their music library or whatever that chosen platform was. And what's even better is the fact that you don't have to do a link per song every single time you drop and when you're on this campaign if I drop one single that single once it drops will automatically be added to their library then the next single from that whole pre-saved link strategy and then when you drop the project the whole project will be added to their music library. So especially being independent it's so beneficial just because of the fact that you might not be able to make sure all of your audience and your fans see your advertisements every single time that you drop. I mean you're independent which means you probably don't have the amount of money to make sure you're reaching every single fan every single time you drop something as a matter of fact even the huge organizations aren't able to make sure they do that so you want to be able to capture people while they're in that one little moment they might have saw that one ad out of your whole campaign where you had a hundred ads they saw that one ad they got the pre-save and when it dropped it was automatically added to their library instead of them having to actually go out and see another ad it's simple but it's a huge benefit I'm really excited about it haven't got a chance to use it myself but I'll definitely update you guys and let you know when I get a chance to use this particular feature now when it comes to the other feature that smart link has there's actually some other platforms that do this I just can't think of the name right now but basically what it does is this if you provide a link imagining your Instagram bio where you want your fans to go listen to the music when they click the link what's going to pop up is a screen that allows them to choose which one of those platforms you're going to right Spotify Apple Music whatever that platform is we're always wondering man I wonder which platform my fans listen to my music on I go do this whenever I'm working with somebody I'm asking them these questions and really it's hard for us to actually know so to save us from having that problem instead of us just choosing one link and getting rid of other platforms where our fans might not have that platform we actually click on this one link and it goes to a screen where they can choose their platform and I know some of you guys are probably like well I could just do a link to a website of mine that I create and then their website can have all the links on it yeah but it's not the same because what happens with the smart link is once they choose that platform once next time they choose any of your links that you provide to a smart link it'll take them straight to Spotify so they don't have to do that in between step or it'll take them straight to Apple Music or whatever that platform is that they like so it works smoothly for these fans and what I love about that is there's just not that many marketing tools that actually benefit the fans as much as they benefit the artists I want to hear the thoughts that you guys have especially on the pre-saves but just the smart links in general and also mention those other platforms that do that whole thing where you click the link and then it allows the options for the fans because I the names are on the tip of my tongue I just can't figure them out right now other than that if you like this video go hit that like button and if you like it your minds will share it and if you're not subscribed you know what to do hit that subscribe button


Does he have victor consciousness or victim consciousness? Victim consciousness people are All right, Stephanie writes question How do you know if you can trust a guy? Are there clear signs to know? Um, I think trust isn't just about fidelity trust is can I count on this person caring about my feelings as much as I care about my own so Okay, here's a couple ways to check. Okay First does his action? Consistently matches words. Does his action consistently matches words number two Does he have victor consciousness or victim consciousness? Victim consciousness people are those people that Oftentimes throw their ex-partner under the boss and they take no ownership as to why their past Relationships have failed now. We all have reasons why we could have been with a partner that didn't work out But if we don't take ownership on our own part, that's a sign of victim consciousness and not victor consciousness Okay, number three. He knows how to fight fair and what I mean is he has good communication active listening skills and when there's a disagreement He listens to your point of view and accepts your point of view is being true for you Unlike Weijin's guy that we just talked about Number four, he has empathy empathy isn't that you can just feel someone's feelings empathy as you genuinely Care about someone else's feelings and more importantly you have empathy for yourself and lastly you are Transparent again, I said if it's material to the relationship, you're going to speak up those five signs of emotional maturity are good Starting point to pay attention if it's someone you can actually trust I think You know when I think of my partner and by the way, there's a picture of her and I there We went out with her girlfriend and her his boy for her boyfriend For dinner and by the way, I'm a big advocate for spending time with other your partner's friends And she's met many of my friends. I've met some of her friends now I'm talking we're talking about me meeting her bestie bestie who's a guy that she's known 40 years. No No Yeah, 40 plus years so they literally I think they met in grade school or something like that but my point is is I Get a sense. I can trust her but part of that is because we've been radically honest with one another We've been vulnerable. We've been authentic. We've been transparent. We've laid our cards on the table Now here's the thing some people need to be concerned. I didn't I dress this earlier? What I didn't do in this relationship is we haven't loved bombed each other love bombing is a way to create false trust Let me repeat that love bombing creates false trust love bombing looks like this.   I can see it Spending our futures together. Oh my god This is just so different than everything else and you let your guard down thinking that this person's legitimate Love bombing creates a false sense of trust Real trust is being radically honest and vulnerable with one another look at with my girlfriend And I'm by the way, the only reason why I don't share her name is she has privacy too And I don't want people to infringe upon her privacy. I know someone complained. Why didn't you share a name? Until she let allows me I'm not going to do that But in our particular case, we really got vulnerable with our past Relationships, I mean we really shared the good the bad and the ugly about our past relationships So we could give insight into how we operate Potentially in our future relationships I think you have to look backward to be able to get a sense of who a person is and by the way You almost have to be a detective these days to really and you have to understand human behavior That's why I recommend a plethora of books So you can understand human behavior Because especially two books that I recommend habitually is Getting the oh here it is getting the love you want by Harvelle Hendricks and Helen hunch And also attached by Amir Levine and Rachel Heller This is two great books to understand and the Hoffman process to understand human behavior Because if you don't understand human behavior, you're going to potentially make terrible choices in your life Especially when it comes to the area of trust My girlfriend has done life spring, which is uh, I think it's a derivative of est that started back in the 70s I've done the Hoffman process. I've done insight. I've done warrior weekend Thankfully, we've done a lot of introspective work Because it's going to be hard to choose people to trust unless you've been radically honest and vulnerable with one another And it means unpacking your past. Now. I know a lot of dating coaches will tell you to never do that But there's a reason why we're at we're at and if you don't understand someone's past it's like It's like voting for a politician and not finding out their voting history Not just to just listen. I can't stand every politician on the planet But I'm using that you want to see their voting history to see what kind of person they might be in the future This is why you look at a resume. You look at their past job experiences.  Is this sinking in is this resonating? Please let me know So trust You got to dig around you got to unpack someone's past to get any sense of who they are in the future as well as the Those five signs of emotional maturity I suggested and maybe Maybe you have a chance to dive into deeper trust with this person when you can check off all those boxes Is this sinking in is this resonating? Please let me know and schedule a discovery call with me Because maybe I can help you with this a little bit further But this will be a great place to wrap up today folks listen It sucks Because the world is rather dysfunctional it is It's divided country here in the united states. We have a lot of emotionally Constipated human beings. It's not easy. I'm here to promote personal development self-help and spiritual work I'm here to promote my book. What the heck is self love anyway a journey of personal development Self-help and spiritual work. By the way, there's a link below to get all the books. I recommend. Why do I recommend my book? Start someplace in your life to shore up your self love Because whether you meet the right person or not what's most important is the right relationship with yourself That's what my channel is all about Encouraging individual empowerment. So if you don't with you're not with the right guy, you can either walk away By the way, if you ever feel like you need to walk away Read this book too good to leave and too bad to stay. Definitely check out this book Um, I recommend this I just started reading it. So I'm not fully recommending it yet so Oh, I'm ordered a book called sacred partnerships. I'm really it comes in tomorrow. I'm excited about that Anyway, I think you get the gist of where I'm going. Is this sinking in is this resonating? Please let me know be empowered in your life. Don't subscribe to the idea that attraction equals relationship success Remember that you need to share the same values You have blendable lifestyles and emotional maturity and watch out for those manipulative men like I talked about today All right, I think this would be a great place to wrap up today. First off You know my rhetoric, please sign up to my youtube channel. Please like this. Please share this with your friends I'm going to wrap up this video as I always do. First off, give myself a big gigantic jonathan barrack 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 pat a teddy bear a pillow and give it or them a hug of love Because hugs are a great source of love and let's face it. We could all use more love in our lives
