Future isn't my cooking. What a good fit. Great speech. I'm a hobby cook myself, so I totally get what you I don't just have ideas I also actually make things, you know, that's rare, but for my Brazilian for the Brazilians here I have a little snippet here I want to talk first about what a futurist is many of you be saying what in the world is a futurist I mean sounds like a mad mission in fact it is but it's about flying ever flying cars or What is it about right? So how can you even know the future? So I'm not a futurist like Ray Kurzweil or Alvin Toffly, which I could be I'm much more about the present So I was actually thinking about calling myself a presentist But that's another meaning so it's taken so in a nutshell. This is what I do for my clients. I develop ideas I look at the next three to five years and I bring those ideas into my clients. I run a company called the Futures Agency It's a lot like agents for the future. That's sort of the concept If that's even feasible and my main mission is to do this Which is why I really enjoyed this conference. It's been fabulous doing a lot of listening rather than talking which is unusual for me I have to admit But that's sort of you know, that's my do but come to that later so I'm originally a musician and producer made what 20 records I played in Caesar's Palace in Lake Tahoe. I went to Berkeley College. I had a good time as a musician But then I switched to doing stuff on the internet and before I knew it I became a futurist by virtue of my clients telling me that I was one I didn't know what it was so Very much like you and just to give you sort of a highlight of my life You know I do about a hundred gigs a year speaking to companies and conference This is one of the worst and the best gigs I ever done. This is Tehran I'm speaking in front of the Mullahs. Here's me and You can you may guess who this is I'm not going to comment but you can guess who that is in the picture You know, which is of course everywhere in Iran this picture and my topic of my speed is change Of my speech that's quite an ironic topic in Iran. But anyway, so I get to do some interesting stuff Bottom line is, you know, we all grew up if you as old as I am you grew up in this system This is the ego system big companies big banks big record labels big publishers big big broadcasters big taxes big government All of a sudden we are now switching to this kind of system We're switching to a system where all of a sudden we are actually getting more power as consumers as users And we're not of course doing away with the big system not yet It's a little bit like you know, they're still over here But we have gathered a lot of cloud, you know, we can go to trip advisor and complain about hotels We can check flight schedules on kayak, you know We have more power every single day and in many cases that's kind of frightening in fact if you look at Facebook But this paradigm for example of broadcasting and of being a central entity. That's been with us for a long time All right, so big television station mass media and so on and now we're adding this This is sort of the connected economy, right? And it's not actually taken the other one over it's sort of coming in addition So Facebook for example is the biggest broadcaster in the world five in the 50 million users But what are they broadcasting? They're broadcasting us to each other Not regular television or film quite yet, but they will eventually right so they're doing this and the BBC is doing this So I'd say we have both at the same time. We're creating a new ecosystem Ecosystem of the previously unconnected you know the network NBC CBS and the network Which is us coming together sort of in this new ecosystem that I want to talk about in this speech We're having a bit of a war of the worlds right of the disconnected and the connected And you can't really read this quote, but it's a CEO of Telefondica saying one of the biggest phone companies in the world Saying that he wants to charge Google for internet access He wants Google to pay because so many people are googling down the mobile phone Creating network load. He wants to get paid for that. And then we have our friend Rupert Murdoch Saying that well, this is a son actually saying that whatever you are talking about when people cut and paste news content It's theft. It's stealing end of story So you have this completely the world view of saying this is all that's not a good idea You have Viacom soon YouTube right in the end you have this complete War of ideas what how this can actually work together and then we have this Which I perceive sort of be the only way forward not going to Africa, but creating something together creating an ecosystem The CEO of Google CEO of Google has said many times he sees the purpose of what he does to create an ecosystem That has mutual power and mutual appreciation. You may not believe it, but I think he's trying hard right, but this is the model for the future is collaboration now Many times I speak to really hardcore business audiences, you know CEOs of big companies and they say what in the world Are you talking about you've lived in California for too long? This is like some sort of ideology or something But it's not This is not a hippie geek pipe dream, you know, even though I did live in California I think it's the key to the future The key to the future is collaboration in an in a system of win-win scenarios The music industry can't possibly survive without the internet service providers the ISPs and telcos There has to be a system that generates money in a new way that to me is the key of how this works Give you some examples the ego system MTV not to say it's bad. I'm just saying it's an analysis, right? Not to say that MTV is bad. It's good, but it's based on their opinion YouTube is based on our opinion So it's an ecosystem right we say what the program of YouTube is The car industry as opposed to local motors which were heard about yesterday great talk same idea Again the music industry saying if there's a website without a license says the RFPI. It's a big problem for us The BBC says use our stuff to build your stuff There's an API you can suck off the whole thing of the BBC and build your own website or the Guardian Right, you could suck off all the content of the Guardian make a new website in China using all that stuff for free Rupert Murdoch's newspaper The Times one pound now to get access The Huffington post says bring all your buddies which we start a social community in the Huffington post They have now more traffic than CNN So you can see examples for how we're going from the ego system from the you know It's about my money my audience to an ecosystem Not has much to do with food, but it's a sort of similar scenario So we're seeing the shift to hyper connected and interdependent What that means is that we can't make money if the other guys don't make money We can't do what Disney has done Which is to create a complete empire that money always comes back to us one way or the other And that's not the bad thing just it worked great for a while for them All right, but now we have to actually make sure everybody else makes money as well And then we do what local motors does we go from not invented here to proudly found elsewhere Everything I'm telling you today pretty much is proudly found elsewhere The smartest stuff I find on the web Twitter slide share my blog feeds you guys probably tweeting me sometimes We're going from the shift in the minds of people who run companies from return on investment to return on engagement Not wondering so much how much money do I spend to acquire a customer? How much they're going to give back to me? How can I lock them up or target them all that military language? Right now we're talking about return on engagement Close to open I'll explain a little bit later control to trust and fear to confidence If you look at the music industry and the film industry and the digital economy bill, it's a work of fear All right essentially saying okay if this happens we'll never make movies again because we don't get paid Telling every musician that they have to go along with this because they won't get paid unless we stop downloading right That's just a product of fear How is that going to get us to the next iteration of this model? We need engagement. We need confidence in germany Gamer, which is the german author society Wants 12 cents for each song that is being played on youtube as a video Right because that's what they used to have you know, 20 years ago for on-demand performances in china Google has licensed music and shares the money From the free downloads with the record companies All right, so that's again two different models here And of course we have apple all right all of us are obviously happy apple users And cultists I could say I love apple, but You know it was essentially saying okay everything you do is within our control That's the ipad. I'm happy with that as a user But in general we have to say that probably in the long run Can't work you know this idea of great machines that do great things, but just for them I think this is a good example, but probably the last one If you want to keep a close chop like apple you have to be damn good You have to be as good as he is and that's very few of us So it can't work, but most of the time it won't You might recognize this slide That's the music business All right I'm saying that because I worked in music business for a long time I wrote a book called the future of music now it's the past of music But in any case the industry has shrunk 65 in 10 years So congratulations to the music industry leaders with the policy of fear and control. They've made lots of money But I didn't find this myself didn't make this up myself, but I say in the past Power was about what you can control In the future power is about what you can unleash what you can create at a moment's notice Twitter Facebook and so on using those kind of tools, but power is what you can unleash If EMI would take that motto and put it into practice, they would gain I'm certain of it. I tried but of course they weren't listening This is their speech right the record industry association the IFPI In the uk saying protecting intellectual property is key to growing the business Well, none of us would mind protection of intellectual property But is that the key to growth? How can protection be key to growth? That's sort of like saying, you know, it's it's it's not very good fit Now if we put this what timoraili is saying, he's saying obscurity is a bigger problem for authors than piracy I can personally attest to this having made 20 records Obscurity they're all fairly obscure and written four books right Obscurity is a bigger problem than piracy Our problem is not that people want to download our stuff without paying opponents that they don't even know us And then there's no mechanism to pay So we have to turn this around we have to think of this a little bit differently The music publishers association of america ran a campaign last year or the year before Saying who's protecting your rights? Of course that question is very present in britain the current discussion of file sharing and so on I think it's barking up the wrong tree Right, it's the wrong question The question isn't who who's protecting our rights, but how do we get lots of people to use it? And what's the mechanism to monetize? It's not protection. It's engagement Now with the digital economy bill and as you know, you know, 28,000 people have been sued for downloading music Many many more are being sued and the ipad is next right We're going to see a lot of discussion This is the ecosystem the ecosystem saying, okay, we'll lock you up if you do the wrong thing on the internet first music Then pdfs motion pictures jpegs word of blog blog posts Whatever it is right you'll get kicked off because you didn't do the right thing I mean think about that. We'll be ending up in china very soon if we go in this direction Benjamin Franklin summed it up not Any better than I could he said those who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety To serve neither liberty nor safety I think that's something we have to face we have to face the fact that we can't do this Without giving up a lot of things that we really like So the alternative is to build a system that works Not one not one that locks Which brought me yesterday, uh, you know searching my in my archive, you know This is you make loud. It's a great, uh great cartoonist right and saying, you know, this is what a wall garden looks like, right? You want to live in this world where everybody who is inside makes money everybody else can go screw themselves, right? That's the world we live in If that's the world of the internet in the future, I don't want to be there We have to get out of this wall garden. We don't need more wall gardens. We need less We need good gardens, you know talking about cooking, right? They create good food But for everyone not just for one person For one company So I'm proposing this is a mock-up. I'm proposing a facebook world leaders group, you know where we have Gaddafi and Hugo Chavez, you know talking about how they Get on, you know, we should do something like this, you know, this is obviously mocking that wasn't my idea But this is the kind of stuff you find on the internet, yeah So here's marx lookerberg from facebook, right? And he says facebook is the most powerful distribution network and distribution network. He's not talking about social network Distribution network facebook is a broadcast and the most powerful mechanism has been created in a generation 10.7 billion minutes spend on facebook every single day Not of us here because we can't get on But you know in general, that's how it works So facebook has started to spin and I think basically we have to face the fact talking about facebook Ecosystems are complicated Openness is hard Permanent beta see google can be stressful Democracy is sometimes work If we want to live in an ecosystem and we really have no choice, we have to do the work It's a lot easier to live in a tyranny. Look at apple We don't have to decide we'll just buy So in general, I think that's something we have to face ecosystems will be requiring work from us and When we talk about ecosystem, we can't get around the fact that most of this will not happen in england or germany Or in the u.s. It will happen in those orange and red areas in the so-called developing countries I do some work in brazil that's here just in case you didn't know Okay, what's happening in brazil now all of a sudden in brazil This idea which was expressed in my first book music like water stolen from david bowie by the way from an interview All right, this is actually happening in china and in brazil in brazil is being discussed that you can pay 150 a month To get the right to download stream anything you want as a music consumer and even better You don't actually pay you bump it off to the advertisers So you solve the piracy opponent by the government saying this is the deal like radio It can't be illegal if 95 of the population is doing it That's the alternative to our digital economy bill So the idea of going from a copyright essentially To a usage right That doesn't deflate copyright. It just means makes it available. Right? It's an expansion or maybe it's a You can set an exception in a way like radio. So that's what we're going to see. I think in the future We're going from a copy economy To an access economy This is good news for everyone Except for those that sold hundreds of millions of copies Right because obviously the more we access the more we cut away from the heat from the hits, right? So in music terms the five people who made a killing with music they're going to probably sell a little bit less Including you out you too and bono and you know who has spoken out against the flat rate and those kind of things, right? So that's basically what's happening. All content is becoming a click All books or music or films And we have to create a new logic. I spoke at an event a few years ago in vienna called the creative With ours electronics And basically what we came up with is that we need a new social contract Of how we deal with creation and who gets paid with what we can't just take the stuff from the past and throw it on top of this Now I do a lot of work in branding and marketing as well. We have the same issue Marketing is just one step behind the media business same disruption From the ecosystem to the ecosystem Branding used to be this, you know, just give your stamp out in the consumer and they'll buy anything once they heard it 10 times Now it's this The paradigm of twitter whether it's twitter actually are not makes no difference But the paradigm is one of following of friendship, right of connecting of liking you could say, right? That's so much harder than to say you're going to see my ad 10 times and you'll just end up remembering on buying my damn car Anyway, that's how it used to be branding sort of top down All right, so I think branding becomes banding, you know going back to my music experience So you're essentially creating a band with your followers with your users with your consumers And that is the power of the network that we that we can use for this Similar to this, you know appetizing on television radio news as you know, of course is declining everywhere So now the watering can that we use to use as marketers is no longer really working with skipping to a sprinkler system The most efficient marketing is direct marketing now very soon on the mobile devices with opt-in mechanisms When you drive by my shop, you get a message if you have opted in you interested in cooking You'll get a bleep on your iPhone as you come in the vicinity, right? That's the sprinkler system that we're going to see that's going to pay for a lot of content $1 trillion in advertising money Marsha McLuhan The original future is you know, he said this very astutely. I think 50 years ago He says he he's only talking about he I'm sorry for you, but he talks about he but he means everyone people He says he wants a way of interrelated by which people feel that they are changed that they're getting with it They're getting involved. They are participating That's really what it's all about Even if participation only means clicking the like button Or sending out a youtube link or or doing a rating or whatever it is He don't have to write Wikipedia entries to participate That goes with this slide This is all we were concerned about in business for a long time We want people to damn just buy the stuff and just shut up and buy our stuff today It's this first It's getting some sort of fan right getting a relationship with somebody who is going to say, you know, this is basically Confronting us with this whole logic. We have to get fans first before we get customers


What's happening guys silent Mike back with another video if you saw the title this is part 2 I didn't plan on making a part 2 I didn't really plan on making a part 1, but it just popped in my head, and that's why I shared it with you guys Thank you all for the views. Thank you for the likes Be sure to subscribe right now and smash thumbs up if you like this type of content a few things to get over Let's keep the comments Friendly you can state your opinion, but don't be rude last comments section was actually pretty good Obviously, there's some people going a little bit nuts But a lot of just people making their opinions and stating their views, which is great I have been smashing on Twitch. So if you guys are into gaming at all Click the link in the description follow subscribe. However, Twitch works. I don't even know we're playing the new Call of Duty World War 2 gonna try to stream Mondays through Thursdays evening time 7 to 9 p.m. Pacific or so Stay tuned on here in Instagram. I'm heading to the East Coast in December. So hopefully some meetups Seminar something to come more info to come on that to get to the topic at hand Tested versus non-tested federations and their records and how those records from my point of view have been closing The gap has been closing and now there's a million factors And we can't even begin to discuss how I went or what because the number one thing which you all stated Which I did state in the video if you watch the video, but basically in drug-tested power lifting Not everyone is drug-free In non drug-tested power lifting not everyone is on drugs. So These variables make it very difficult to understand maybe what The differences are plus each Federation primarily the drug tested that is popular as the IPF or the US APL Versus all other federations Have multiple rules that can cause some issues, right? Because we have a stiff bar on the deadlift with you guys can argue all you want But it may make it harder to deadlift typically there's two hour weigh-ins versus 24 hour weigh-ins Which makes a weight cut a little bit different which changes the weight classes let alone the weight classes themselves are so different because we're dealing with You know kind of a kilo weight lifting and then just the typical power lifting which is you know For example 181s 198s 220 242 and over here we have 183 205 231 264 so although they're close. They're not exact There's multiple multiple ways reasons people brought up judging judging is kind of hard to make an argument against sure that the IPF does have a history or a rumored or a Reputation for being a little bit more strict But there's plenty of federations on the non drug-tested side that are also very strict and consistent with their judging points That I want to bring up all I was trying to say in terms of how much steroids maybe help strengthen Clearly they do otherwise people wouldn't take them and when we're talking steroids Let's just throw in all performance enhancing drugs that may be against the rules You know there are the Lance Armstrong's the Barry Bonds plenty of NFL players baseball players Football basketball MMA etc. So there are performance enhancing drugs that do land. You know Help you perform better. All I was stating is that if you look at the top of bodybuilding in the Enhanced world in the non enhanced world We're almost talking, you know anywhere from 60 to 100 pounds of a lean body mass difference That's an insane amount of difference where if you looked somehow if we could guarantee That the top of drug tested and is off and the guarantee the top of non drug tested is enhanced that I think that gap Would be closer and I think we could make that same argument for other sports where in MMA, you know You take the same genetic guy or whatever in the same way class Or maybe just one of the best fighters in the world and we guarantee he's drug-free and one of the best fighters in the world And he's using performance enhancing drugs That the gap is at least closer not that the performance enhancing drugs aren't happening at all And this is 100% just my hypothesis just in my head from things I've seen throughout the years in the industry and talking to people that perhaps have used or haven't used and then just Paying attention to some of it. That is just a trend that I see that it helps hypertrophy More so than it may help performance. Of course people brought up in the non drug tested that It's not drug-free, which I mentioned as well. Sure. There are some people that get through the drug tests and the drug tests are Across all sports Not catching everyone if that was the case We'd have a very different world and this is such a popular conversation when people are talking about power lifting And even weight lifting to an extent but not so much when you just bring it up to the Olympics or professional sports No one's bringing up the NFL or the NBA or people getting by in the UFC Where I'm sure these organizations may be doing their best, but it's of course not gonna happen one If you've seen the movie Icarus, which I talked about in the past There's people on the inside or outside politically that are maybe making Decisions for the organization or underneath the organization or even just hidden on their own Hidden agendas to pass people in the drug test. I've heard of people Getting certain types of jobs whether it's politics or Police officer or whatever it might be and you still go under a lie detector test Although many many people have said lie detectors tests are not accurate But you still put those to the test because those are the best we have and I think that's the same with the drug test For performance enhancing drugs some people Do the best they can with the science that we have right now Sure, there's new drugs coming up that people can get through but that wasn't my point My point wasn't to say that drug testing is 100% this and that or say steroids Just do this point was just to open a conversation of some thoughts that popped in my head and because it's my channel I can do that and because you guys are the fam you can comment below and also communicate another huge factor that brings up Kind of a difference in between some of these records, especially when it comes to the squat I think the deadlift as well because the deadlift bar versus stiff stiff bar But another trend that I've seen is the best lifters that I've seen in the non-drug tested often compete in knee wraps And in the USA PLIPF knee sleeves is the raw division where over here they do belt knee wraps wraps Excuse me belt knee wraps and wrist wraps For for raw still and some of the best lifters tend to go there because they want to lift the most amount of weight possible That's perhaps what leads them to take some performance enhancing drugs Use a deadlift bar and use knee wraps because they're just trying to move the most amount of weight We're over here not sure their goals But the point is that they're not perhaps as many people taking the step into performance enhancing drugs not as many people taking the step into Knee wraps which leads to my point in the other video where I think the pool in the IPF UP USA PL has grown larger than the genetic pool in other federations because of the ease of entry the ease of entry With all you need is knee sleeves You don't even need knee sleeves and a belt is much easier to get into the sport than into knee wraps knee wraps are painful There's a little technique to them. They're a little scary They're a little more dangerous and as you get further into powerlifting gear suits bench shirts, etc a single ply multiply It does get a little bit more dangerous and it turns up that level So the ease of entry over here to hop into a USA PL IPF drug-tested Federation Not only because maybe it's less intimidating because you hear the term drug-tested But also because of the equipment used in the raw division. I think this is gank grown and popularity As well as plenty of influencers Very popular powerlifters YouTube channels, etc that promote the IPF my boy Johnny Candido and others have helped grown that Again going to the genetic pool being grown here and leading to that gap being smaller many people brought up the argument of money being involved that the IPF and the USA PL are not Paying athletes that they're paying their own way and there's no competitions that you make a lot of money Although I do believe the Arnold you can make some cash money in that in the other divisions the other Federations people are getting paid and again. I don't think that has anything to do with anything There is some cash Especially a couple meets that have popped up in the right recent years in a non-tested Federation That you do get a nice sum of cash if you win the entire competition But I don't think you get an 18 to 30 year old That's just getting in a powerlifting and they're looking at the top saying man I really want to make you know 20 30 grand putting my body through this torture and that's leading them to performance enhancing drugs or Whatever your argument was for the money powerlifting has been around for a couple decades It's been popular for a couple decades and still even when there was no money No popularity the popularity of powerlifting is literally only taken off in the last I'd say three to five years before that even four years ago It was such a different landscape and the strength conditioning and powerlifting world and people still Maybe even by ratio by percentage more people took performance and see drugs And there was no popularity and no money involved. So I just think the argument of money doesn't play a role Sure when you're the top of the game in golf or baseball or something like that It may because it may you know taking a little bit of performance answer drugs may and Long-gauge your career and allow you to earn a little bit more money But then even then you can make an argument. Okay, you've made so much money playing in the MLB for five years Do you really need another million and of course people's mentality you do want to make more and you do Want to progress and all that that's a whole different discussion for another day But my point is I don't think for many people to get on performance and answer drugs especially in powerlifting let alone other sports is driven by Purely monetarily gain even at the upper levels. I think NBA NFL MLB, etc. I think that they're They're deep deep deep deep need and want to be the best to be the greatest of all time Leads them more likely to take performance answer drugs than purely the money another argument that you know I guess you could argue because this one is a little bit You know the IPF is a little bit more strict in drug testing Then maybe the other one's not testing at all is that the the only gap difference is due to the dose or the type of performance anti-drugs The athletes are using meaning that in the IPF Maybe they have to cycle off or maybe they have to use less of a dose so they can sneak by the test We're in these other ones. They're running shit tons of gear, which people, you know, even in the non Tested federations people are always talking that guy takes so much and I only take this much And we're still lifting the same and conversations like that happen all the time I think that it's just another human nature excuse for what Placing you get in life or what placing you get in a powerlifting meet people are always wanting to look up at the person Above you and nitpick something about them. Why they're there and you're here I don't know if that's the actual thing. I guess that could be the case But then you know the whole thing about what drug tests when how and what People brought up that the US APL doesn't follow, you know, you saw that and what are rules But you go to the Olympics and there's people passing tests left and right and that's supposed to be the most strict testing in the entire world Wada Whether the IPF does it in or out of season I don't think plays that big of a role as there's all these Olympians from every country, even though Icarus brought light on to Russia. I think every country is guilty of bending the rules of some nature whether it's through Wada itself or through their own organizations to to get an upper hand on other countries because it's such a bare-boned caveman-like thing that in our world in the Olympics someone a Nation having a great Olympic team and winning more gold medals still represents something beyond just a race or just beyond a long jump Just beyond weightlifting or tennis or golf or whatever it is It still represents a power move in our nation and that's kind of the coolest thing about athletics and the weird thing about athletics Let me know your guys's thoughts below. Be sure to check out my twitch stream We will be playing some Call of Duty just a general time to hang out for me to play some games Which I would have played anyways, but now I'm inviting you guys to come and chat with me. I do appreciate you Give you a thumbs up. I do appreciate you give the video thumbs up if you enjoyed it Comment below also, maybe ask some questions below and we'll keep this series going it can maybe Transform into different topics almost conversational podcast style appreciate you guys. I'm Mike. I'm out of here


Away from election marches, remarkable national leadership is the ability of a leader to agonize the totality of a nation around the common national banner or the vision and sense of mission. Now those were the words of former transportation minister Rotimi Amici while delivering his keynote speech at the niche annual lecture which held in Lagos today. While Lord and Nigerian nationalists who fought for the independence, Amici said genuine nationalistic leadership transcend ethnicity, plus to be corresponded love, Igoku Oyadokun was there and now reports. Eastern niche annual lecture, fourth in a series, the Yellow Revenge looks at the issues bedeviling the nation from economy to politics and how the country's democracy has thrived. Ikechiku Amici is the managing director and chief executive officer of the niche. He said the lecture was organized to get various opinions that who shed light on why Nigeria's enormous potential is not realized. Nigeria is at a crossroads now that train on the plane, all the indices of human development without any exception are pointed south. Yet everyone had hoped on the eve of the 2023 general elections that Nigeria was on the top of the new beginning. So why is Nigeria always stride? Filmed with stride and slide, leadership, nationalism and Nigerian condition, former transport minister Rotimi Amici took to the stage. He painted a gloomy but candid reality of why the country is what it is today. The realities of today confront us with some incompetent groups. Our democracy has eliminated the default government even at the local level is detached from the people. Our electoral system has further eliminated the people by its serial compromises. In all of this, the national elite has failed to strike a consensus on the critical minimum needs of our society. Because of them steps are eliminated and compromised. The former governor of River State, Tuco Swipe, other elite whom he said only raised issues to suit their interests. He declared that Nigeria is still on search of national leaders stressing that the country's democracy needs serious rethinking in terms of scope and focus. Dr. Uma Eliazu is the chairman of the lecture. He said that in spite of old problems a country is facing, the future generation still has hope. He however believes that men and women of goodwill must make all the necessary investments of time and energy to build lasting values within the next generation. We can be blaming each other from now to eternity that will solve the problem. The problem is a change in mindset. The hope that I have is that if we start changing the mindset of the next generation of people who will become politicians, we can make it. There was a consensus among discussants and participants that the issues can be remedied if leadership issues are tackled. The refusal to name names to punish is why we are where we are and why we're talking about the Nigeria condition. We cannot continue in leadership to continue to look at the other side and continue to, as it were, romance the wicket and expect things to be all right. As far as I'm concerned, I believe that ethnicity. Highlight of the event was the induction of the keynote speaker Rotimi Amici and Dr. Uma Eliazu into the niche Hall of Fame. Love Ikuku Uyidoku plus TV news.


Hello, welcome to Toffy TV. It is the match preview. Everton versus Leeds United and this really is a huge game of Goddison Park on Saturday now. Both teams in the mix for relegation. Both teams not in any kind of form whatsoever in terms of long-term Leeds United. You have to go back to November the 5th since they won a Premier League game of football. Picked up four points since football came back after the World Cup. They've sacked a manager like us. They've appointed Michael Scuballa as their interim head coach who had been there under 21s coach. And this Ned is just a game that Everton just have to win. I don't think we picked up much more points if not the same. A point at City, three points against Arsenal. The forms aren't too different in terms of picking up points. Obviously they'll be craving that win. They just sacked a manager. That's the thing. All teams are sacking managers around us. Only West Ham around us that haven't a season. Southampton have sacked another one. We've got to start looking at teams up front of us now and see who can be catchable. They're picking up points. They're improving. Forrest are improving. West Ham, I think some people will still say they are picking up points as well. But some would say they're too good to go down anyway. I think all the teams you look at in terms of having the quality to stay up, I look at Leeds and I think they've got necessarily better teams than us. Yeah, they've got players like Rodrigo who scored 10 goals a season. He's out injured for a couple of months which could matterly determine whether they stay up or stay down or go down. So for us, I think this is a must win. I don't think a draw is going to be good enough for me to get in front of them. No, I don't think a draw is good enough. I think you have to, Everton, have to start now picking up points. You know, obviously Sean Daish won his first game against Arsenal a couple of weeks ago. We were all on a high from that. It was a great win. It was a good day at Goulderson Park and Everton needed another one of those days. We've obviously just come off the back of a maze side, Derby, and we're a lot different. People have seen it in different ways. People are like, well, it's done now, it's over. I appreciate that. For me, the performance was awful. I think Everton are going to get out of trouble by it with hard work, not with massive amounts of skill and talent. It's hard work that's going to get Everton out of this. And I expect Everton to work hard every single game and match the opposition because they're going to have to, because to get the points against teams, we're going to have to beat teams that are better than us. And there's a lot of teams in the Premier League that are better than us. And we can't be writing away games like a maze side, Derby, and go, it's all right. To me, yeah, you lose a maze side, Derby, fine. I understand. You lose because they're a better team than you, but not because you didn't match them. And Saturday, the first thing that's going to be required, of course, is hard work and commitment. Leeds are not a good side, whether that was down to Jesse Marsh. They look like on paper. They've got a few decent players now, a lot of young squad. But they've been poor again this season. There are points above us. Their away form is actually worse than our away form, which tells you everything you need to know about them. They haven't won a Premier League game since November the 5th. They've picked up some good draws, picked up a good draw last weekend. So it could be tough to break down, but this is a game, everything has to win, because these are the games this villa, forest away coming up. These are the games that are going to dictate where we go. For me, I can't stomach another second half of the season, like last season. Even have got to get themselves out of the bottom three and more into the mix, into those mid-20s as quick as possible to get round the likes of Leicester, get round the likes of Crystal Palace, get round the likes of Aston Villa, get amongst the pack above the bottom three as quick as they can. Get that little bit of breathing space that will come from back to back wins against Leeds and against Villa. And I think we'll all feel a little bit better and I feel like the pressure will be off then. The pressure to win every other game will be then like we've got to win every third game. I think this has got to be a win and I think if we turn up and play like we did against Arsenal, then we've got a great chance. If we turn up and play like we did against Liverpool, we're going to be in trouble because I know people will say, well that was Liverpool and it was at Anfield. It's all going to work right. Leeds United will work hard in this game and if we don't match that level, then we could find it being another very disappointing day like the Southampton game was and like the Wolves game was. Well, we've played these games before where the teams had exactly performed before me for one game and 12 and it was against us. Or two and 12 actually and they're both against us in the same week. Southampton were the same, they've sat the manager after just one win and it was against Everton. Everton at a scene, that jumps on the back of other teams performing poor and I think we set a standard against Southampton after the performance and I said going into that game, we said the result for me isn't necessarily important. I'd be much, if we went into the derby and put a really good performance in a lost, I wouldn't feel as bad as if we put a good performance in Leeds and lost because that's what you think. Well, the five points above now, whatever they are, the four or six, I think they're on 18 points or something on 19 points. So if they gave them further away from us, then you're going to feel a bit more hard doing that and especially if we put a good performance in instead of losing. So I think these are the teams you have to start picking points up against. It is a shame because I look back at it, I said I'll give it down and I said at the time I think the performance is more important. I don't think if we got the three points in that game then we'd be on 15 points now and I mean we'd look a lot worse, I think we'd be 19th. So it is important to pick up teams against the big teams as well, but these games now, Villa and Leeds, these are teams that we could look at and try and suck back into the relegation. So with those Villa, I think on 28 points, so 10 points above us, so they're in OK form and I can't see them being dragged back into it, but they're certainly not seeing if we should be losing against that home. And unfortunately, I'll see something I've been losing against these teams. No, and as I said, for us it's now about picking up. It's about picking up back-to-back wins, getting a good run of form, getting a good habit. I'm just looking at the table at Wolves. They're up into 15th now, 23 points. They've won four games since the break. Come back, obviously start with us on Boxing Day. They've lost a couple, they've drawn a couple, they've got into good habits, they've got into that winning habits. Went away last week to Southampton and went down to 10 men and still won the game. They've got a confidence and you can see them driving up the table. Now they're on 23 points and are five points away from us whereas we were above them on Boxing Day and it's those kind of runs, that kind of run we've got to get into now. The target is still always going to have to be 40 points. That's 22 points we need and that means winning, getting it back-to-back.  The confidence then is flying. Look again, Forrest, there's another one there on 24 points now because they've strung a few wins together and that's what we've got to do. We've got to make sure for this game what hugely important it is, but playing a team, as you said, they're playing a team just above us. If they were to win that game and go four points ahead of us, then you're looking then at where do the wins come from and that's why this game is hugely important. Now I think even then, obviously the points are important but I think you mentioned teams like Wolves and Forrest. They've found ways to win games and for Wolves it was finding a way to, they were conceding a few goals, but they weren't scoring at all. They found ways to score goals now, they've got three pass, they've got two pass Southampton with ten men. I think the reason they had a man sent off was stupid as well by the way, but they're finding goals in every game now and that's one of them points. Forrest have brought new plays in, they've found a system that suits them playing the 4-3-3. So they're getting wins now, they're looking more solid and they're starting to gel and more as a team. For Everson, we've still got the same problem all season and it just makes me worried that we've got not enough games to sort it out and we've given Dyche not enough games, certainly not enough games in January. That's where we think about whoops, I could lamp out earlier, have we got enough time to find a way to win games because I asked them what they're going down to set piece, you're not going to score them every game. Liverpool, we got closer to set piece but we didn't quite get it and we still couldn't find a way from open play to score a goal. That's obviously, that's why hard work is the most important thing because if you get into the habit of working hard every single game then that's a great habit of being and then you graft on top of that what you need, all the other things start to come and the thing for Leeds, Dyche strike me as a team that works hard every game and it can be just the quality and therefore they've gone to old traffic last week, they've got a nil nil draw, they've been beaten late on against Manchester United, obviously a home but I don't think anyone can have a go at them for the hard work. The game before that they got beat by Forrest and that obviously left Jesse Marsh in a situation where he got the sack. They do seem to be a team that everyone, when people watching they go, you're hard done by in that game or they should have won that game. That's not always the case for us and that's got to be at least the bar hasn't it? Get to a point where you're like, oh everything deserves something out of that, they work so hard or whatever I know that doesn't always seem like a comfort to people but I've had to be sitting here and getting beat in the maze that I'd be going oh you know what, we had a good go and their quality was just too much for us. It should never be, oh we didn't work hard enough or we gave in over through in the towel. That's just not going to be acceptable for the second half of the season, it's certainly not going to keep us up. I'm telling you that right now because we haven't got the quality and certainly with the strike and situation as well it's a real issue. Let's just have a look at the evident team that faced Liverpool in the Mesaad barbie. Obviously, Ellis Sim started that game and doesn't seem like from what we've heard from the manager that Dominic Harrelin is going to be back to this game shortly just by what he said in terms of he wants to give him a rest. What would you do in terms of the striking situation? I'm not confident it's going to win your game but he's picked Sims now, he's had an hour to play with him. He's always been working with him so I'd stick with it, you wouldn't have had a game so keep going. Well that didn't work, we've worked on it for a week, let's pull it out and try something new. If he takes Sims out and puts Malpie in, he hasn't started Malpie yet as a lone striker, Sean Deitch. That would be trying something completely new in terms of him playing up front at the start of play we want to play.  You've got to find a way or a system to stick with it until we get done back and we can get him back. That's the one thing we can't do as well as go. There's only three weeks and we'll get Dominic Harrelin back, that's not a guarantee. Find a way that can suit us at the end of the season. If that is Sims, keep playing him and he might come good. He might take four or five games for him to score a goal or to have a decent performance. But then by that point you've got what, 13 games left where you might find something that works. If you keep changing everything all the time, you're just going to keep running out of games. I think one thing they have to do is find a way to create chances without Dominic Harrelin and try and play to Sims' strengths. For me that's to get someone closer to him, to be honest. Whether it's going 4-4-1-1 or 4-4-2, I don't know. But I just don't think Sims can play as a lone striker. I don't think Malpie can play as a lone striker. So maybe getting both together or put D'Cory on as a number ten maybe. I'm not sure. It's hard because whatever formation we play this season or line up, we haven't really created a lot of chances without Dominic Harrelin. I think the problem is, as you mentioned, is that we don't make a lot of chances. So, therefore, as we saw against Arsenal, we have to be a lot more direct and we need someone up front who can hold the ball up. So, I mean, Ellie Sims won quite a few headers against Liverpool. But a lot of them just went no way. That's not his fault. It's a play the way Dyche wants to play or the way he sees it. We saw this on the derby in terms of trying to play the ball out the back and playing through the midfield, and then Nicknick, I mean, he scored the second goal. Another first goal was Pomecona, but it showed our frailties. Those frailties continued, obviously, with the second goal, which is something that we suffer from this season more than anybody else. He's been caught in transition. And then, you know, we've counter-attacked them. We haven't got the speed at the back to cope with it.  I don't think that's particularly Ellie Sims. I don't think that's the strength of it. I think whatever we do on Saturday, we have to stick with. If he decides Ellie Sims is what he wants and he can work with them and he can work with them week-on-week out and he can give them 60 minutes of the weekend on Monday and he gives them another 60 minutes at this game or whatever. If he can see something in there where he can start helping Ellie Sims understand the position, and I think it'll be a lot easier for him being a cul-de-samparch, then you leave Ellie Sims in there. But you're right. If he doesn't and he puts Malpine in there, then you almost have to look at Malpine and go, well, that's got to be left. You can't flip-flop.  You've got to come up with the solution. You're the manager. You've got to come up with that solution. One of the big reasons for beating Arsenal was Dominic Carmel. People can go, well, he didn't score. He was massive in the game of football. Anyone who watches it understands that, that we could go long. When he wins his header and it wasn't just flick-ons, it was... It brings it down and keeps going. He can flick it. He can knock it into space. We're fantastic in the air. He can hold on to it. He can create a couple of yards and then other people come in. Don't get me wrong, at Gullison against Arsenal we were braver. We pushed up higher and we were a little bit braver in the midfield and it was different because the way we played that day and we have to play it like that in this game. But that's the proof is that we had to change our style of playing and go into a different game. We can't. We won't win games playing like we did against Liverpool. We just won't because that's the way we've played all season. We will not win games by trying to play this passing football. It doesn't work. This is where Lampard got it massively wrong and this is why we haven't won enough games this season. We have to come up with a way. And as I said, if Ellison starts, no problem because I don't see... I can understand why he starts them because of his physical... The man has just clearly looked at him and gone, I might as well give him a chance because Mopai is not going to offer anything. It's a very worrying situation but we can't be waiting round for Dominic Carmel. I think the players have got a second bit of responsibility for that. I watched the Derby about five minutes in. It was an awkward ball, a second or third ball when it goes to kick it. Completely misses and it's awkward but we didn't continue to try and make it awkward. We didn't try and make it a second ball game.  I watched this Leeds team and they're quite good on the ball but they're quite nervous as well. They played well on the weekend but United had many opportunities to go in for it. They had one just before halftime where they would just faffin on the back and they'd give a mistake away and the keeper kept it 0-0 to be honest. He had a pretty good game so we're just going to make it awkward, get up the pitch, get at them. We're at home, we've got the crowd on top of them as well so just make it awkward, make it a second ball game, make it scruffy and they'll probably make some mistakes. They're not amazing going forward either so just be brave because they've got injuries, they've got plays like Roger Biego out, they've got one goal, they've got some decent plays but they're not amazing so we've just got to be brave. Before we come on to them, do you want to talk more about the Everton team because obviously we've had the same sort of back four in the two games under Baish but I would look at that back four and look to try and change it now. I think there's got to be a position in that back four for Ben Goffrey because I don't think Ben Goffrey is an amazing defender but I think what he's got is I think he's got at the basic level things that you need which are power and pace he's got the right attitude and I think whether it be at left back or right back or even centre back I think he's got to find a position for him and the other player I think that maybe Daish needs to look at and this might determine if Goffrey will play is Jeri Mina. I still think Jeri Mina is our best defender I think he's a better defender than Connor Cody I do think Connor Cody is a good defender I just think that I don't know I think when you look at him the more you look at him in a two you can see why he suits a three more I think Jeri Mina is a big personality I think the fact that you can play I have five subs the fact that we've got three centre backs four centre backs who could come in if he got injured means that for me I don't see it as a risk playing him I think you know if Jeri Mina is sitting on the bench and Connor Cody is playing and there's no Michael Keane and there's no Mason Oggy then it's a risk I don't see it as a risk and I put him in the side knowing that Connor Cody can come on for him and play and I just think that's the kind of risk that you need to take at this stage of the season he's a big presence in our box he's a big presence in their box suddenly if you've got Jeri Mina and we're relying on set pieces suddenly you've got a massive weapon to utilise there and I just think I know we've said it loads of times he's had loads of false dawns and I know we've seen him go off it's annoying but at the same time we've got loads of cover and we're having five subs it's not like you're wasting a sub we don't use five subs ever we don't ever use five subs so the way I look at it is you get two centre backs and you say give them the game plan you go you're playing but you might be needed and to me that makes that's a no brainer because I think he's still our best centre back and him sitting on the bench I just think is a bit pointless for me same as Coleman is well was sorry on Monday running a little bit ragged but that doesn't happen every game so I'm not like massively over concerned about that saying me enough normally does well against pace I just think he got pace and strength the other night and he got caught it's the other side for me I've said it again I just don't think Michael Enco's good enough and I'd have Ben Goffy at left back there's a question mark over both full backs but we have got Paterson coming back hopefully he could be back maybe for Villa maybe for Arsenal maybe for Forrest but start left back position I think it needs addressing because a lot of people have just buried their head in the sand about this the kids not good enough and I think we have to start looking at getting some pace in the back line I think that's where it's coming I think Sean Ditch he comes across as a type of man to play a left back at left back but I think Michael Enco he doesn't offer going anything forward what are you offering there and he certainly is a great defender you're putting Godfrey in there you've got your recovery pace for whatever centre backs you do play because none of them are really fast to be honest I think I quite like having a partnership play together every week to get better and better but when you start having performance like Southampton and making mistakes like did in those games and against Liverpool then you've got to start asking questions and if you've got someone ready to come in like me I don't understand if it's like you were taking Cody out and you say what does he give a great character leadership, he talks, he commands but if you've got someone coming in like me he does all those same things he's a big presence, he's a big character he fights in both areas he's so dangerous at pieces then I don't see why and I don't think he it's not like he had a port game in his last game against Wolves he'd looked good against that obviously we conceded a couple port goals yeah it mean it is a tremendous tremendous centre back his problem has and will always be that he's made of play though I don't think I think if that wasn't the case I don't think it would be out of this no he probably wouldn't but he is and I would, I just think with the amount of centre backs we've got now I'd utilise them, I think you need a bit I think it's time for characters and it's time for leaders and it's time for people to stand up and I think I just don't get me wrong Cody is a big, I just think that there are times when you just need something to change a little and don't get me wrong with this whole at home game we obviously play really well against Arsenal but for me he's someone I'd love to get in but Godfrey is definitely someone who we need power and patience at the back it can change the way you defend as a team if you've got patience you can have a high line under lampire we just kept dropping back and back allowing pressure on the keeper allowing shots but I think different against Arsenal we were pressing up against the pressing intimate field being more aggressive trying to win it back early at left back with a pace he allows you to do that because you've got the pace of winning behind and I think if you look at the derby twice they got us on the counter attack especially the first one I think Godfrey's got the pace especially at home you want your team to push up you need that recovery pace and I think that's what Ben Godfrey gives you and these have got a few you've got some these have got some decent plays with a little bit of patience the player in the right wing is really really dead let's just have a look at the leaders team from the last game against Manchester United Banford so Banford up front he went off of the awmach so it would be interesting to see whether that was an injury or whether he's had the same trajectory as Dominic Cavill in the last year or so he's been suffered a lot of injuries obviously Summerville has been fantastic we'll talk about him a little bit more in a moment Jack Harrison obviously last few years has done really well they've brought McKenney in from Juventus who's like a little bit well you get him right he's a little bit like a Tim Cale Tarah Adams okay Harrison has been in the number 10 he's been underperforming to be honest no he has and he nearly left but they've got what I mean is though there's a lot of like youthful exuberance in there there's a bit of pace there's a little bit of like a discipline I think in there and that cost him a time I don't think they're great at the back but they've got they really do have a you know let's just have a look at Summerville has been you know there you go 15 games four goals one assist one chopper game but he just he just seems to pop up and create things they've had to rely on him at the moment in terms of numbers he's not scored a huge amount of goals but Rodrigo's not long been out injured but he'll be out for a few couple months now at least two months he was the one who relied on score a lot of their goals he was on double figures in the Premier League so they've got to find another way to score Bamford's not getting them in the net he's poor at United so they'll look at their wingers and try and get the most out of them so that's where we're talking about full backs Meekleland goes man marking him he's going to have a better game than Godfrey because he's really fast personally I'll have Godfrey in there I don't be awkward because you're playing the left on the other side you've got Noto he's another pacey young player can't come and keep up with him will come and um it as well man marking a play like Wilford Towers and many times other players like that he didn't quite get it right with New Eners on the weekend but like you said New Eners is a big powerful pacey centre forward so it would have been a bit awkward for Cormans but I just look at that Everton's left hand side up against Somerville I'd rather have Godfrey there because it's an interesting for Leeds because I think it's it's very attacking you know what I mean having Weston McKenney in there you know as I said he's sort of like a Kyle kind of defender in midfield I personally haven't met a Harrison playing that's what I'm saying and Jack Harrison's awake I think that midfield it's box to box as well isn't it it's a young side it's a naive side they make quite a few mistakes they've got a young goalkeeper you should always test early on we don't do that enough but like I said you've just got to make it altered for them that United did that at times and they made mistakes in it obviously a couple of Leeds of Goals but they could have had a few more I think if we do the same because they're not terrible defensively they're certainly not as bad as they were under BL circle a few years ago I've been struggling to find a way to score goals from open play so we've just got to make it scruffy as we can try and get one on they're not amazing on set pieces but like I said you're not going to score them every game so the biggest thing for me is just got to find a way to break them down because we've been so poor doing that to the team this season Played he wasn't on there he played the game before with Sinestre Sinestre his name's like something out of a comic book he scored and the other game he can be a threat as well he's quite lively as well he's another young one but as I said their away form is mad I think the week after that he went to Tottenham and they were 3-1 up and they were losing 4-3 that's the kind of team they are they are they're all on nothing in a way where they'll throw everything at you but then it leaves them exposed and we're almost the other way we don't throw everything at you and then we can see a scruffy knotting goal from our own inability to get at teams because we're not brave these are almost too brave at times these are almost go too far the other way so that's where it's going to be a really interesting game and I think that's why no one should be sitting there thinking oh this is an easy win they're above us in the table but they have gone on a way so for us I just think it's a must-read game they'll work hard so the one thing we've got to do is work hard that's the one thing in every single game we have to work hard I'm sure the players know they'll have managers watching them because the Scoob Island has been giving a few games in the past few games they've looked a lot better I think United were just too good for them I think United's away form has been really good this season so it's not really a game that you can look at obviously at Old Trafford they went to and up didn't they so they went to and up at Old Trafford and obviously again that shows the flip side and they go tune it up they score an early goal and then they get a second and then there's an inability to hold on to it I think that's the naivety that's what I'm saying, they're a young side and there's a lot of naivety in them I think just before we finished that was almost like the problem with Jesse Marsh he probably encouraged that going cow thing and that's what we else have given them as well Marsh was supposed to be this fellow coming in like stop that but I think he didn't and he was almost that thing we'll just keep playing, we enjoy I think you need some for them if they found someone who was a little bit in between who just calmed them down a little bit I think they'd be a decent side and that's what makes Satti that's what makes it interesting so there you go, it's not going to be an easy game because no games are easy especially when you don't score goals like us so let us know your thoughts in the comments it's going to be a tough game it could be a set piece again for Evan but Leeds are going to work it's really really hard and we have to be on it Saturday we're going to take those three points and we get those three points then that'll get us out of the bottom three and that should be the number one goal ultimately so let us know your thoughts in the comments on this one make sure to

Hey guys, how you doing? This is your boy Rich from Rich TV Live and you too can join the club at richpakesdaily.com where you can learn how to win and trade. Hi, how's everybody doing today? I'm your host, Rich here from Rich TV Live with our very special guest, the CEO of Vox Royalty Corp, Kyle Floyd. How you doing today, Kyle? Rich, I'm fantastic. Thanks for having me back on. Always a pleasure. Very excited to hear from you today and I know we have some big news that we'll talk about. So let's get right into it. So big day for you guys as you have announced that Vox has realized record preliminary quarterly revenue of Canadian 1,862,600 U.S. 1,471,000 for the three month period ended March 31st, 2022. Can you tell us what the revenues were mostly driven by and what it means for the shareholders? Absolutely. And first I'll put that number in perspective because I think it's important. So last year about this time, our initial guidance was for the entire year was basically this number. And so the significance of what this number means to our business and the outlook for our shareholders going forward is really, really significant. So it's an exciting number for us. It's the continuance of what we set out to do which was have this growing organic revenue base by buying really good royalties at really good valuations and letting those royalties crystallize and grow in value within the portfolio. So this result is a point on, let's call it the path to what we believe is going to be a very, very productive next few quarters and next few years for Vox. And this number was really driven by a couple of key fundamental growth aspects for Vox. What is the number of producing assets? So we went from one producing asset and we went public to now five production stage assets. We expect that to be eight as we exit this year but ultimately your revenue is generated by producing asset count and so that has grown. What else has grown alongside of that is the production of our producing assets. So production has increased significantly. One of the biggest drivers of this quarter's revenue growth was it was an entire quarter of royalty revenue from Segololo Goldmine. That was a royalty that we bought a few years ago prior to it being in production. And when we bought it, we said, look, we believe this royalty is going to come into production. It's going to be a very valuable and productive asset for Vox. And the market has a funny way of not pricing in good things until you actually deliver them. And so we have delivered it. And that was a big part of this number. The other big element of this growing revenue has been increased production from our Cooley and Albany iron ore asset and sustained very high iron ore prices. So the diversification of our business, yes, we're focused on precious better ability to find really good royalties at really great value even if they're not necessarily precious is fantastic because we're picking great assets and great royalties at great valuations. And so it is not just one particular data point that's driving this revenue growth but a host of really powerful data points that are growing in our favor that's delivering this growth. Congratulations on record revenue. Yeah, thank you. It is tremendous that what we've been able to deliver again, this was our guidance, our initial guidance for all of last year we've now realized that in just one quarter. So we believe that our revenue is gonna continue on a very positive trajectory. We have transactions that we're always working on that we hope will add to that as well. So it continues to be a very productive time for Vox and our shareholders. And that leads me to my next question which shows how busy you really are. Vox also announced it will be attending seven different upcoming conferences to engage with investors. Can you tell which conferences, can you tell us which conferences you'll be attending and how you believe these events will impact the company? Yeah, well, it's a focus point for us, Rich, because we absolutely believe in being as engaged as we possibly can with both our current investor base and potential new investors to really raise the awareness of Vox Voting Corp. And what we believe is a very unique business model that advantages our shareholders in this inflationary environment where we leverage what's happening with inflation to our benefit and we're able to really, in many ways, cut a lot of the risk exposure that happens during inflationary regimes. And so we think we've done that really well as a business with our execution. And so we'll be at PDAC, we'll be at VRIC in Vancouver. We have a few road shows happening around the US and then another conference in the US that's more generalist focus. So we're gonna be working hard to raise the awareness of Vox. We think we have the fundamentals and the growth that warrants more attention than what we're currently generating. And I think the investors that are finding out about our story like they have on your program early are gonna be very well rewarded. Kyle, that leads me to my next question. With a lot of companies struggling in these market conditions, many people calling this bear market, some people calling for a recession, and we're definitely having a very volatile market. I think that's very clear to everyone. How has Vox Royalty Corp kept itself so strong and resilient to this bear market when so many other companies have really struggled? Well, let's kind of look at the risk. Inflation, what does inflation typically mean rising commodity prices? That's absolutely what's happened. Commodity prices really across the board are one of the most buoyant states that they've been in. And so we're recognizing the benefit of that that is proven out in our Q1 revenues. And then also you talked about volatility. Well, we went in volatile times when commodity prices are high because we're not exposed to a lot of the downside risks. We don't have a tremendous amount of variable and operating costs that mining companies bear. We're not exposed to the inflationary input costs that mining companies are as well. And then we've really done a, what I would say is a good job for our shareholders in diversifying our business. We have five production stage assets. We expect that to go to eight by the end of this year. That provides a lot of risk abatement. Yet we're still a small cap company and that's certainly not cutting off any of our upside. In fact, I think our upside is as strong as it's ever been as a company. But we've been able to do that with a business model that's very unique in the royalty sector which is buying third party royalties around the globe at very good valuations and continuing to execute with our technical team picking great assets. And so you're seeing what is the culmination and I won't even call it culmination. It's really the continuance of just a tremendous amount of hard work and discipline around our model with our competitive advantages continuing to bear fruit. And so when you look at the risk that the market's experiencing Vox for a very long time has been disciplined. We didn't get sucked into the trap of gold being at $10,000 an ounce or copper going to $20 a pound. We've always consistently looked at metal prices as being in probably backwardation which they haven't been, they've actually been increasing. And so that's allowed us to build a very strong business with a tremendous amount of upside in the business. Now, Kyle, just to recap everyone watching today you've touched on it a little bit how many companies are currently in your portfolio and how many different jurisdictions do you guys cover right now? So we have about 55 royalties and streams. We I believe are in seven plus jurisdictions might be nine but we have most of our exposure in two one mining jurisdictions being Canada, Australia and the US with about 70% of our net asset value being in Australia and most of that being Western Australia which I should note was just ranked the best mining jurisdiction by the Fraser Institute for 2021. And that again speaks to kind of the forward looking discipline nature of our business. We've focused on what we believed was the best mining jurisdiction continues to be the best mining jurisdiction which is Western Australia and continuing to build our exposure there. And that continues to pay dividends for our business and for our shareholders. Kyle, is there anything else you want investors to know about Vox Royalty Corp before we say goodbye today? Look Chris, I think we covered a lot of ground really exciting Q1 preliminary revs very pleased with that number frankly exceeded our expectations but the business and the market as much as it's volatile as much as it's risky as much as creating challenges for investors right now a lot of those risks and a lot of those challenges we've really leveraged for the benefit of our shareholders we've created a tremendously unique business model that is I think being able to kind of turn the tables on some of the risks and use that to our advantage and we're seeing that play out and this quarter is just the continuance of that execution strategy that's driving results for our shareholders and we expect to continue. So for the investors that are out there they're saying hey this is a challenging investment climate and it is there's a unique business which is Vox Royalty Corp that I believe is positioning our investors to do very well despite the difficult circumstances that are happening at a more macro level.

Question is from stay at home stone. Can you explain net carbs? Is this even important to consider if you count your macros?  I do too. That that is such a and done. It was such a marketing. Yeah. It's so it's so the bars and shakes can make claims. So they can say they're low carb.  So net carbs, the way that they sell it basically are carbs that are not fiber. Okay, so fiber carbs, according to them, don't count.  If it has calories accounts, that's a bottom line. Yeah. And net carbs also have calories are still carbohydrates. It's totally and you know, when this got real popular, this got real popular when low carb dieting hit the mainstream when when low carb dieting was Akins was really when it started taking off that was in the I want to say the late 90s early 2000s. And then later on with keto dieting, low carb dieting became all the rage and food manufacturers are trying to find out ways to sell more products to these low carb dieters, but they couldn't put you know, tons of carbs in their products. How do I make it palatable, but also keep it so that it's low carb.  It's like just 20 cars. Now to that point, I think the the one thing for people to understand to those that I mean, fibrous carbs are like from vegetables and fruit are better carbs for you right as far as like metabolism wise digestion goes like so they are better for you but the idea of subtracting them out it's like it there's I've never in my life one done it myself to had any clients who I just don't see any value in it.  That's enough like you that's plenty of information for the average person to really start to hone in on their diet and how they should be eating. They just over complicated by subtracting out the fiber from it to try and it's just silly. So they could sell bars and it distracts you. Yeah, so that way they can make your bars and shakes taste a little bit better without you feeling the guilt. Oh dude, what company was it? Was it pure protein bars that made they claimed to have zero grams of sugar and it was because they had sugar alcohols in there and they're like, well, that doesn't have the same thing. It doesn't count. Yeah, actually, it does sneaky. It does still count. It's 100% to sell more product because if I'm making a low carb product and in order to call something low carb, it needs to be lower than let's say 10 grams or of carbohydrates or eight grams of carbohydrates. I'm but I want it to taste good. I'm going to use carbs that I can count that I can, you know, consider to be not doesn't count. These aren't net carbs. The oldest trick in the book just reclassify it. It's totally 100%. No, definitely count all carbs if you're if you're and they all count. Now are like Adam said fiber. Is that healthy for you? Are all carbs created equal? Of course not. Just like all proteins, all fats are not created equal. But the the notion that that only net carbs count. Don't worry about the other ones. They don't they don't count in the body.  It's a great reference.
