So today we are going to talk about content creation for non-profit. So HomeMI, my name is Jen Jambi. I'm a content creator. So I create content on video, webinars, workshops. I do email swipes, surveys and so much. I even do blogs. So that is the type of content I create. I also do digital marketing and I don't do everything in digital marketing. I specialize in search engine marketing that is Google Bing and Pinterest. I also do social media retargeting and I also encourage on email marketing and SMS marketing, which is always sidelined by so many business in Africa. Mostly here in Kenya, you find that you buy something online or you go to an NGO, they don't have a newsletter. And so they are not telling you about their new blog, their new one, their new anything because they are not doing this type of, they're not sharing what they are doing with me using their email. But if you go to Leona Chesa, they're doing it. And these are the things I want to talk about. I also do web design and graphic design. And graphic design is very important when it comes to content creation because you will need images to like, if you're going to talk about coronavirus awareness, you're going to demonstrate the importance of washing hands by images, by animated images. So graphic design plays a crucial role when it comes to content creation. Infographics, statistics, you're going to share them in form of graphic design, web design. So I tend to see so many websites in Kenya. A good example is in Wadada by Janet Bugua, this other one by the first lady, Beyond Zero Campaign. They don't have a part where you can donate. You can click on donate and you're able to donate like $30. And it goes checking out easily. There is no that system. So it becomes cumbersome when you have now to keep typing the details for the bank, doing things manually. So it discourages you to even donate because people want easy things. But when non-profit make it hard, it becomes hard to attract more funding. And this strategy has been done so well by Black Lives Matter website where they have a donate now button and you can donate easily. And they even ask you can we do recurring donation and you can be donating to them every month. But well, that's not what brought us here today. Today we are going to just talk about what is content creation. So content creation is a process of generating topic ideas that appeal to your biopersona, creating written or visual around those ideas and making that information accessible to your audience as a blog, video, infographic, and other formats. So let's say my topic is around female genital mutilation. There are people who don't understand what female genital mutilation is. So I have to come up with a topic and help people understand what this topic is all about, why they should pay attention to female genital mutilation, why they should pay attention to early marriages in the Masai culture, why they should care about the effects of female genital mutilation when it comes to childbirth and the woman enjoying sex. Why do we need to take action and why do we need to fight female genital mutilation all of us, but not just me alone? Okay, that's the purpose of content creation. So you want to create content and empower people. But now in this case, you're going to be using the internet. You're going to be using search engines like Google. You're going to be using email marketing.  You're going to be using Facebook posts. So you're going to use this post to create content that is engaging and tell these people, this is what I want you to do. And when you go to nonprofits, if you go to a Facebook post and a donation ad by World Food Program, in the comment section, let's say it's a video being done and they want donations. The button is donate now. You find in the comment section, they're saying a healthy woman borrowing food for hungry children trying to make money out of the poor because there is no content created to help people understand why we need to feed world health. World Food Program needs to feed the poor. You find so many negative comments in the comment section. And instead of that comment section being used to inspire each other or to educate each other on the importance of donating something to the hungry, we use it, those comment sections, we use it to discourage donations. This problem is created by not educating people as to why it's important to donate. And most people think donation is only money. You can donate your clothes. You can donate your skills. You can volunteer your skin. So most people need to be educated on the importance and the impact that donations have in the society through webinars, through blog posts, through infographics, those images where you have washing your hands or an expectant mother sleeping under a mosquito net being done on social media, e-books, writing an e-book on why female genital mutilation should end. So instead of going to social media directly, asking people for donation and getting the negativity, what if you tell them, I have this e-book or you just have this blog post that explains the importance of joining hands and fighting female genital mutilation. And in that blog, there is the donate now battle. They are educated. They are aware as to why they should participate. If we look at Black Lives Matter, in 2020, they raised $90 million. And the average donation was $30. How was this possible? Black Lives Matter had to do a lot. You see that time of this guy by the name Floyd, he died. The police killed him. And so much content was published on why Black Lives Matter. There is this other girl who talks about environment. She's talking about environment. She's empowering us on why we should care about the environment.  But she doesn't come this way. Donate for us to be able to protect the environment. But she is talking about why it's important to take care of our environment. And she creates a big following, the same way with what Black Lives Matter, creates a big following that now believes in you, understand what you do. And even if they have $30, they are willing to give it to you. And that $30 become a lot, a lot. And now it can be able to support projects in the US for Black people so that Black people can have an impact in the society. So when this content in form of webinar posts, in social media, blog posts on your website, we have webinars, e-books, surveys. When they are created, holding them back is not important. But distributing them is what makes everything possible. It's what gets on people's phones in front of their social media feeds and they are going through and now they are able to see your content or they search something on such engines and they find you and you empower them. So this content needs to be distributed through a website. So if I think of Black Lives Matter, I'll definitely go and type blacklivesmatter.com. If I hear Leona just a disability, I'll go type Leona just a disability.com. If I don't get a.com, I might, I'm likely to find something else that is near to them. So a website will help you distribute your content in form of blogs, infographics, and also have a newsletter where people can enter so you can be sending them and email that will be educating them regarding on why Black Lives Matter, why fighting FGM is important and why building schools in Africa, in a place like Mozambique or in a place like Kenya or in a place like Turkana, Kenya is important. So you help them understand why it's important instead of going like give us donations so that you can do this, you educate them first and now they become your following. Social media posts are very important and I'll give a good example and then we have such engines Google being able to be found on Google when someone types why does Black Lives Matter and they find you on Google and now you're educating them, they will subscribe to your school of thought. But even if you have the best content and you're not, you cannot be found, you cannot reach people, it doesn't make sense having it just somewhere kept, it needs to be distributed. And the other one which is email sending emails to people who have subscribed to your newsletter. So let's look at a nice website like Black Lives Matter, how they distribute their content. So you see I just went straight and typed Black Lives Matter and I don't have a lot of distractions, I have news. So if I want to look at news regarding Black Lives Matter, I'll definitely go to there and they have gone or they have, they have always gone and done a shop to help them do even more fundraising by selling t-shirts.  So when people come to see your content, they're able to see, oh my God, they have a shop and if they don't feel like donating, you can see how visible the donate now button is, they're like, let me shop something from them. So that way you're even able to raise donations for your nonprofit. You can raise by selling something all by them donating and they go to news, they start educating themselves, they see the latest news like how Jesse Smollett's trial, you know, the Jesse Smollett trial, this guy from, is it called Empire? That show by Cookie, Cookie someone, they are a music family. So the guy is having a trial, he was having a trial last year and he was convicted, he's Black and he's a member of the LGBT community. So they're trying to tell us what's happening. So and that's a very good way of acquiring donation through content, okay. So if someone here's Black Lives Matter, why do I want to matter? Why do I want to care? They go search your website, they come, they start educating themselves, they even come and start drooling, they see a shop, they like a t-shirt, they buy it, they come click donate, you never know. So another good example, another good way of distributing content is through posts on social media, doing a social media post. So you can see a good example is World Health Organization and you can do this through a Facebook page or your own Facebook profile. So you can see that how many women do not breastfeed for as long as they would. This is how we all support breastfeeding mothers anytime, anywhere and they use very nice images that show a doctor or a nurse all these, showing women breastfeeding. So when you create nice social media with very nice graphics that are engaging and are easy to read because you want anybody to relate to this image. Anybody, even if I'm not going to read through, I'm going to be looking at it and I'm saying this is a doctor, this is that, this is that and it becomes so easy for people to engage with your content. So they become part of it. They now understand why women should be breastfeeding more to their children instead of saying donate to us so that we can help women breastfeed. What if you create content and tell them the importance of allowing any woman to be able to breastfeed their children as long as they want. So the other way of distributing this content in form of videos, in form of posts, blog posts, in form of webinars, workshops is through search engine like Google, a search engine like YouTube where you go and put you and upload your video and people search topics related to FGM and they find you there. So stop FGM in Africa or someone asks Google why should I participate in fighting FGM in Africa. The first people you find are actually Plan International. Okay, and they are talking about the seven ways to end FGM. So what happens when you go to read this type of anatica here, you will find what they are talking about seven ways to end FGM and why you should join this movement of stopping FGM in Africa by donating some cash, by donating your skills, by donating or even becoming a board member of probably Plan International and inference decisions because if you want people to participate in your NGO, you want they either donate, they either volunteer skills that make sense not to volunteer skills that seriously. If you are building a school in Africa and someone comes and say hey I'm a carpenter, I can create desks, are you guys going to need someone to create desks? I don't have money but I can volunteer my skill of being a carpenter, I will work on 100 desks. That's a very good skill, but someone comes and tells you hey I know nothing, I'm just looking for somewhere I can be. That person doesn't have so much value so they will be at your bottom list so you will want to attract people who are probably going on vacation.  I can go and work with these women on doing their beadwork and then I can help them sell this beadwork, I can volunteer to teach them how to sell this beadwork on the internet because I'm in digital marketing. So my volunteer skill makes sense to them but if I don't have a skill what am I volunteering? Definitely nothing. So they donate, they volunteer, they become a board member who is probably going to influence. If you look at Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation of board members you can imagine Bill Gates and Warren Buffett. You can imagine the influence Warren has. I'm just giving an example.  So if you have a website and you cannot be found on Google because you don't know how to work on such engine optimization, you don't have fans to even hire somebody to do SEO, you can opt for Google for non-profits. And Google for non-profit, your NGO needs to be registered. If you're in Kenya it will work. If you're in Nigeria, I believe, South Africa. I don't know other countries that Google for non-profit accept in Africa but if you're interested in Google for non-profit and have not mentioned, if you're from those three countries, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, if you're not from those three countries, you can just go to Google in search. Does Google accept my country Uganda for Google for non-profit? It will give you an answer. So what is Google for non-profit? It allows you to, it gives you $10,000 in ad grant every single month. And with this ad grant, you can tell Google, I want you to show my non-profit in countries anywhere in the world and rank me and it's likely to rank you among number one, two, three on specific topics. So you need to have a website to be able to qualify and when you qualify, they will allow you to have an email connected to your website, one email address for free on Google Workspace. So what Google will do is that it will be, it will be showing your ads, your advertisements for non-profit every single month. Anywhere you tell it, if you tell it show my non-profit, advertise my non-profit in the US, in Canada, in Australia, in Kenya, in South Africa, whichever way it will and people will be able to interact with your content on Google easily and that way you can be able to share your school of thought to influence people to follow your movement and donate to your course, all volunteer, very important skills. Another way to distribute your content is actually through Airbnb and Airbnb doesn't charge the 20 per cent, it weighs the 20 per cent for non-profit. So you can see a Kibera non-profit founder gives a tour in Kibera to people.  You can do Airbnb experiences virtually as a non-profit and people from all over the world can watch from their smartphones. My smartphone is somewhere here. So smartphone from my phone and be like, hey, in July, I'm visiting South Africa. What are some of the non-profit activities I can do for two days? Or I'm going to Zimbabwe, so I see a school is being built. So I sign up for the Airbnb experience. They show me some of the things they do through Airbnb experience. Please go learn Airbnb experience, how powerful it is. It's actually you do things virtually. So I sit here, you're in South Africa, you're showing meetings with other probably 10 attendees and we have paid, by the way, we pay. You explain things to us. Then if I'm coming to visit Zimbabwe, I'm like, do I still want to go to this place? Did I like it? Is it volunteering my skill after the virtual experience? I'm like, yes or no. But you helped raise funding through a virtual experience on Airbnb. So if you're doing basketry or beadwork with children with disability, you're helping them with kitchen garden dressmaking. So you give this virtual experience on Airbnb. And if I'm in Canada, I get to decide, do I want to come and take a tour one day or do I just come to Kenya and go to another non-profit that showed me something better as a tour in Kenya? So yes, that's it. Then the other way of distributing content is through email. And if you have a website, it's very important to encourage people to sign up for your newsletter, to keep up to date with the latest news and events. So you keep sharing with them everything that's latest, everything that's important to you and important to them. So well, I come to the end of my presentation. Thank you so much. And on the chat, I can see like there is someone asking a question. No, not asking a question, but saying, wow, Airbnb virtual experience, that's new to me. Yes, Airbnb virtual experience is so powerful. Do it for your nonprofit. You're going to be able to distribute content.  Because first of all, for them to participate, they have to pay and they'll pay $15, $20 for the experience. And you never know whom you're talking to. They might go and talk to someone and tell them, hey, you know, I saw this in Kenya, you could be interested. I saw this lady in South Africa. I saw this lady from Nigeria. She's talking about this, this nonprofit thing you can donate to her. You never know how you're going to get your donations. So for me, be everywhere, distribute your content as much as possible. And thank you so much for your time. You can ask me a question. If you have any, I will definitely answer. We have 15 more minutes because I had said I'll present for one hour. You can unmute yourself and ask a question. I see we are two. We're just three of us. We are Dennis and we are Kabelik Bible Foundation. Thank you so much. Hi. Hi. Thank you. Thank you so much, Jen, for this. I just decided to pop into the call because I felt that this is an area that has been of interest to me for some time, but I have not had really the exact, exact thing that I need to do to make my my nonprofit a bit more visible. Yes. And first of all, I would request that if you can share with us the PowerPoint you've used, there is a section that I missed, especially on the types of content and the rest. I would really appreciate it. Okay. Yes. Let me, have you seen my email? Send me an email and I'll be able to forward. Maybe you can post your email address on the chat because I missed it. I think it's there. If you go on to the chat, Dennis, you'll be able to see that. I came in late, so I can't see the previous chats. Oh, you can't see. Oh, let me, let me, let me have a share. I see it now. Now, a question for you, maybe two or three questions. About the Airbnb, what gadgets would you require to have in order to, to share that content? You need, so a nice, most NGOs have a camera. NGOs have work, they do have, the NGOs I used to work, most NGOs they have work, they have a camera. And even we have smartphones, very nice smartphones nowadays. So you use a Zoom, they usually show you to use Zoom. And you make sure you sign up as a nonprofit. Don't sign up as you and it should be registered. And when you, you sign up, they don't, you don't pay them the 20%. It's not deducted, you receive your whole money. So you just need a camera and probably a very nice microphone. Just focus on your voice, not the background noises. Okay. And then you share your experience. Okay. You tell them nice things about your nonprofit. And then you share your school of thought, your ideology, your philosophy, why they need to participate. And you know, if you can even have 15 participants even per week, and they are, you're charging $20 or even 10. That is $150 you have raised for your nonprofit that one week. And you never know what they might, you will end up giving them your website. They will see the donate now button. They will be able to view and decide if they want to donate. And when they come to Kenya, do they want to participate? Or if you are dealing with children, can they bring some toys they have had? If they are doctors, do they participate in your mission for, for medical services? Okay.  Okay. So they are looking for experiences as they look for experiences like, like, which is the nice leg to go like to Canada, they are shown how it looks. They have interest in going to that area. They get a virtual tour. What if you're in Turkana and when they are looking for things in Turkana, you appear on Airbnb. And you are offering those virtual tours for non-profit on bid to support Turkana women or to support, do something nice to the Turkana community. You get it. So they end up subscribing for your virtual tour and getting engaged. And you never know, they could even order a product on your, on their website for the non-profit thing. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you very much.  But I just want to pick your brain from the two of you. It's easy for a non-profit that works with tangible things. When you work with children, when you help women, you can touch, you can see. Yes. The challenge that I have experienced is we do not work with anything tangible. And I tell you what we do at the Catholic Bible Foundation. We are part of the Catholic Church in South Africa. And our vision is to help people have a personal, a living, a dynamic relationship with scripture. So what are the tools of our trade as a non-profit organization? The tools of our trade as an NPO is the word of God, which is scripture. And anybody can say, ah, I can read my Bible at home. But what we do is we are bringing an experience. We are making you have that connection and relationship to see the deeper riches that scripture can offer you, that the word of God can offer you to become a better person. Until you have come to our workshop, it becomes just an ordinary, ah, why should I go to an NPO or we'll talk about the Bible. I can buy a Bible. I can read it. I go to church. Just from what I have told you, what do you think are the things that we can do to make it tangible? You are, it's tangible already. You have Bible studies. You want to help people know how to read the scriptures and understand it. And not only that, how does going to the word of God, how does you reading the Bible make you a better person? What if I'm depressed? It will make me a better person when I overcome depression. Exactly. What if I feel like ends are not meeting? What if I feel so lonely and so down like things are not working out? I always go down to buy knees and pray and read the Bible.  But now if I go to an A, B and B, what do I show them? You do the Bible study thing. What I'm getting is that actually, as you do your Bible sessions, you can have them go live on A, B and B so that people are seeing how you're doing it and maybe how you're using the Bibles, the ones that you have. Even I'm thinking in terms of going to the community and having a Bible kind of distribution and showing that on A, B and B, that on this day, we had an event where we reached out to a community that has not had access to a Bible. So we are sharing all Bibles with them and reading with them and, you know, telling them about the Word of God. Yes. Let me tell you something. You see on A, B and B experiences, there is so much diversity that you would be like, oh my God, I will fit in. Let me tell you some of the weirdest thing there is. You see those bondages, domain tricks and submissiveness. There is, there is even a dungeon to those activities. Two, you see this, I tell you the future. They offer A, B and B experience. So you can offer an A, B and B experience. Anybody can offer. I can offer an A, B and B experience on marketing. I can offer an A, B and B experience on talking about Giraffe. Even just going to Giraffe Center and showing them about Giraffe. They do. What if somebody wants to know when I come to South Africa, where can I go for Bible studies and how is the experience first before I even go there? They'll come to you. Lovely, lovely. Thank you very much. I'm having interest to know how these Catholic Bible Foundation seminars work, for example. And are you using the Catholic Bible or are you using just the normal Bible that we know? I'll be able to log in once you have an A, B and B experience. Oh, all right. Okay. Yeah. Jane, I wanted to know when it comes to now doing that content, what I'm getting, it has to be live, right? Should it be live? Live. It has to go online. Yes, that is now live content. That is live content. It's like how we are doing it. This is live content I'm sharing. Exactly. Now you will be distributing it through A, B and B. Yeah. So I'm looking at a situation like in our country, Kenya, where if I have a camera and go out there just recording, there are those kind of regulatory and other kind of things. How do people go about that? Like you see on the streets nowadays in Nairobi, youth go to the streets, most of them around the weekend. But they have problems with the city county government not allowing them to take photos, live pictures and how do people go about that? That one I cannot advise because I never create content outside this room, my bedroom. That one will be misleading you. But the type of video thing I'm talking about on A, B and B, you are in this vicinity, you are in this area whereby you have children with disability. You are teaching them meeting, you are teaching them beadwork, you are teaching them gardening, you are teaching them some things they can do. Some of them even are learning computer and they have autism. They have don't syndrome. So what you do because you are within this environment, these people you keep sharing with them that type of content every day because they will be different. So somebody is from South Africa, the other one is in Brazil, the other one is in US, like three from US, five from Canada, others are from Europe, others are from Australia, New Zealand, others are from the Philippines. They will always be different. They are looking for things they can do when they travel to that country. You get it. So you appear there, give them an experience of empowering a child with disability, okay? How do you empower a child with disability by giving them skills? Like knitting, like computer literacy, like even maybe you even take helping them to a point that now they can get into the normal school system. People will love this, they gravitate towards this, your school of thought, so they become part of it. So if every week, 15, 15, 15, so your work will be clicking the same button, playing the same, showing the same thing, the same routine, like the same way I would sit here, keep repeating this video again and again, but it has to be life.  Don't record, don't do them a recording, be live, participate. Yeah, you see, like the Catholic Bible, you see, there are so many people who want to do, to learn yoga. So when I come to South Africa, how is the yoga experience in this particular, with this particular yogi? So they sign up for the yoga session and they follow the year instruction and they say, oh, if I come to South Africa, I can have the year service. So you keep repeating the same thing. It's like me doing the same thing every day. Now, what I change is my, this one and my top. Yeah. I get it. That's good. And I'm just thinking, as you are speaking on this virtual experience on Airbnb, we have to play around maybe with the infographics. You know, the ones that I saw on the World Health Organization that you gave us as an example, because we have got strict, we have got strict laws. We are not allowed to show children's faces without the school or their parents. We can't. You'll be in serious, serious trouble. So I'm just thinking the best way for our situation would to use infographics and then talk like a live presentation and say, and ask for concern and say, we have been to this school. This is what we did. They were children using different pictures and images, not of children, because then we'll be in serious trouble. Okay.  You will know how to customize everything for you to not break the laws and to help the person behind the camera enjoy it like the way I think. I hope you're enjoying. Oh, I am. I am. But you see, I customize this experience for you, for people who are non-profits. If I was to talk to people who are psychologists, it would be something very different. Indeed. Because now you are aware of the things you can do to customize it and now read the terms and conditions for Airbnb or non-profit on what you can and you can't do. What about Canva.com? So Canva.com is what you use for infographics. It's a free tool and it accepts. It accepts non-profit. It allows them to use it for free. Okay. What does it allow you? It's a graphic design software. Yeah. I've used Canva, but they would ask you to buy certain things. So how do you use it as a non-profit? You just go to there. You just move. Ah, okay. Wow. Wow. You know what? Thank you so much. You know what? And you know what? There was a lot of things that we have been paying for with very limited financial resources, which now I can go and make those savings and direct them and channel them for other things. So thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. Like this Canva for non-profit, the Airbnb, the Google for non-profit, I didn't even know Yeah. But if with Google for non-profit, if you are a faith-based organization, they don't accept.  They want non-profits, registered non-profits. We are a faith-based organization, but we are a registered non-profit. Okay. Fine. They won't have a problem with you. So what you do with Google for non-profit, TechSoup has to verify you. Then you just go and apply for the funding. It goes 24 hours, you have it, but it will not be sent in your account. You will be able to do advertisements to people all over the world. When people search for Bible something, you appear. Yeah. So if people search for support children with disability in Kenya, you appear. All right. Okay. Thanks. And then how do you use? How do you use? Because I have been struggling to see how we can use Instagram and yeah, mainly Instagram. Well, I'm in digital marketing and I specialize in search engines and email marketing. Not social media. Okay. All right. You see? You see? You see? That's, yeah, yeah. Yeah. I'm asking about, you know, you're talking of some, you're giving examples that are coming from the segment that I'm working in. My organization works with children with special needs. Yeah. So the examples that you are giving about are really striking. It's striking enough for me and brings up a very practical, you know, reality on me. I'm located in Nairobi, Utawala area. I'm looking for a nonprofit that can volunteer my scheme. There is a nonprofit that irritates me. They sit here in the supermarket and when you're moving, they're like, can you donate?  I'm here. We strike a deal. You start with the two of us, question in South Africa. Then you have a footprint. Then you have a footprint in East Africa. Hold on. In East Africa, you are volunteering. In South Africa, you are volunteering. No, no. Me, I don't know anything to do with. We need you in the Catholic Bible Foundation. But anything to do with like, I don't know. I don't know how to contribute in the whole thing, but I know exactly what to do in an area of female genital mutilation, children with disability and sanitary and menstrual health. I know so much because that's in refugees because my university report I did about refugees. It's called what? In working with non-profit, I used to work with children with disability. So we would go there to work with children in St. Patrick's Dika. We would go to work with children in Dika school for the blind. On my field tour, we went to Lyonad Chesa Disability in Kisumu and SOS Children's Home. I gained so much interest in children. So you are welcome. Now you need to understand how as Catholics, we can make a difference in people's lives using scripture. I can. It's good to be open up for a new opportunity, for a new thing. But I want to be a volunteer and a recognized one. Not like this, not like you volunteer without being part of that non-profit. Your part of role is there even if it's volunteering. If they are putting their team on the website, you are part of the team. You're not left out. I'm assigning you that immediately because actually one of the things, why I came into this, I've been shopping around to redo my website. It's one of the horrible ones. It's not the best. And also develop some content, a lot of it that we can disseminate. But now how to do that content, how to disseminate it has been my challenge. Of course, I've went around asking people and sometimes I'm given a fee note, a quotation kind of, if you want this, we need this much. But I don't have that money. If it's your website on WordPress, I will work on it. You don't have to pay me a volunteer and do that. So long as our company is. Wow, great. I really appreciate it. It was nice that we appear on this call, the three of us only. Thank you. So I can be working one day for you, another day for them. I volunteer like eight days a month, a few hours, like five and that's it. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. At least we are much further than you are. And we really, really appreciate. So in terms of digital marketing, what space are you looking at? What areas are you looking at in digital marketing? Google for non-profit and even for my customers, my clients, I don't do everything for them. I do specifically. No, no, no, no, no. Actually, we prefer to be shown how to fish. Exactly.

Have a good day. Good day.


Hey everybody, you can't see my head. So this is my very very large box of Briar Fest goodies. I am currently filming in my kitchen because my studio is like a very large mess of Briar Fest orders at the moment. These are my kitchen cabinets, and I'm sitting on my kitchen floor and How else would you open your Briar Fest goodies other than this? Like obviously this is the way to do it. I can honestly fit inside of this box, probably. Mojave, who I have been pronouncing as Mojave. I like to expanish class and everything. I Oh my gosh. Oh wow. He's so pretty. The first regular run on the Fireheart mold, which is done by Raven Maddock of Chrysalis Studios, and it's very exciting because she actually also lives in Canada. It's just really cool to have like a neighbor relatively speaking that's like making Briars like that's crazy. I had to have him, of course, and because I had to have him and I wanted to customize him, I bought four. Don't tell my husband that I bought four of the same parts. It'll work in my favor because I'll get to pick which one is my favorite and which one get to be destroyed. This one is missing like what? This one is like not right. Wow. It's like I have my own Briar store. That's what I always wanted. All right, what else is in this big box of goodies? I'm gonna show you my favorite thing that I bought because this this is a license plate cover that says I would rather be driving to Briar Fest. I needed this. Most times I would rather be driving to Briar Fest and not to wherever I'm driving to, so. As a kid, I wanted to go to Briar Fest so bad, and I figured it would take me 30 days to walk. 30 days. Now we have this is FBA's brand design. Oh god. And then I got this set. Best of Briar Fest stimulates that. So bottom is this package Briar Fest's Boogie. This year they decided in the live stream to like reveal the special runs, which is great, and that was fun. The variation for this is a Cromello. I have an aversion to Cromello. I don't really appreciate the color, and so now we're here, and I don't know if this will be the one I want or the one that I despise. I didn't want this. I'm not the only one that doesn't like surprises. So this is the new Briar Fest packaging. Everything was switched to paper, which is really cool. So it's all recyclable, so this is like a paper baggie. All right, the moment of truth.  Oh my gosh, I think I'm safe. Yes! Thank you, Briar! Thank you! That is an accurate depiction of Briar Fest is when they are literally the same height as you, which isn't saying much. I am only like 5 foot 3 on a good day. So I am officially 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Briars and Establements that tall. Additionally, I figured out that I am only 5 and like a quarter subway sandwich is tall.  Ta-da! So we already saw that Buggy was opened. So he's really cool. And then we have Singletree, which is the main reason I purchased this set. So he's the fireheart. He's really cool. But this is baffling, so this is... I don't know who this is. Okay, you can see all of them. They're inspired by Raffle Horses. So this is Whipple Tree. That was Singletree. Oh my god, they're all named after trees. No, they're not. Whipple Tree is this one. And it's the new Mini Yorg Model. And Yorg is like near and dear to my heart because that's who I created Yorg off of. They removed his Man-bits. If you know the Yorg model at all, he is like knowing for his man-bits. He's like Pull out of here, really. He pronounced things. A piece of tape stuck to it. Liverpool. She's on the Magnolia mold. Really pretty. Pains? It's like an apricot-done Missouri Foxtrotter. I need a snippy snip. Wow. Oh, wow. He's really pretty. So he's got blue eye on that side and a brown eye on that side. He's so cool. How many briars have you opened in your lifetime? Wasn't painted. But it's like acetone fell on him. That is so weird. So that's him. And his hair, like, look at it. It's like not painted, but it's really smooth to touch. So he is going to be customized for sure. No, as fast as you can. Open the briars. As fast as you can. Snippers. Go. It's one and the other one are really good. And then the other two are not so good. That's okay. That was my intention. I'm going to customize them. Oh God, my kitchen cabinet. Even the kitchen says enough. Someone spelt juice all down this one. Not me. Wheels. Just... And she was also sold out. So everything I wanted this year was like the fastest selling sold out. You can really see the color in this, like, box party. This video is so chaotic. I am so sorry. Woo! Wow! Briar Fest unboxing. But it was a virtual at home Briar Fest. So it's going to be as chaotic as the real Briar Fest, obviously. Thanks for tuning in and watching. And you know the drill. Go follow and subscribe and check them out on social medias. You know what to do. You've been here. You've done this. It's YouTube. Come on.


Welcome. I welcome you all in the lecture of this course, Samasa in Paninian Grammar. And this is the first course on Samasa. As is our practice, we begin the lecture with the recitation of the Mangala Charana, Vishvesham Satchidanandam Vandeham Yo Khilan Jagat Charikarthi Bari Bharati Sanjari Harthililaya, Vishvesham Satchidanandam Vandeham Yo Khilan Jagat Charikarthi Bari Bharati Sanjari Harthililaya. In this course, we are focused on the Tattpurusha Samasa. Tattpurusha is a prominent type of Samasa in Sanskrit along with Avyai Bhava, Bhavavrihi and Dvandva. These Samasas are stated in the text of Ashtadhyayi in the following order. Avyai Bhava, Tattpurusha, Bhavavrihi and Dvandva. Tattpurusha Samasa is by far stated to be the most productive of the Samasas. Be it Samasa Vidhyayaka Sutra, be it Samasanta Pratyaya Vidhyayaka Sutra, or be it Samasa Svaravidhyayaka Sutra. The number of sutras composed by Panini are very much in comparison with the sutras composed by Panini in order to explain other types of sutras. There are also quite a lot of varieties within the broad umbrella of Tattpurusha and we have studied them in this course. We started with the Vibhakti Tattpurusha where we studied Ditya Vibhakti Tattpurusha first, then Tritya, then Chaturthi, then Panchami, then Saptami and finally Shasti Tattpurusha in that order as given in the text of Ashtadhyayi, the core of Paninian grammar and the Paninian grammatical tradition. Then we studied Karma Dharayya after which Ekadeshi Samasa and also Naya Tattpurusha Samasa. Then we studied Gati Tattpurusha Samasa and then finally we studied Upapada Tattpurusha Samasa. We also studied the derivation process of a Samasa in which the Laukika Vigraha plays a very crucial role highlighting the interrelation of padas, thereby the Vyapeksha Lakshana Samarthya, where there is some Prekshita Artha and some Baddha Artha. Then the Laukika Vigraha takes place, then we also have studied the Samasanta Pratyayya taking place, then Sublukh happens, then Purvapada Karya happens and we have studied in brief some Purvapada Karyas in the initial part of this course. In this lecture we shall focus on some more Purvapada Karyas that happen in the Tattpurusha Samasa. We know that the initial member of the Tattpurusha Samasa or for that matter any Samasa is called Purvapada and the operations that happen on this Purvapada are referred to as Purvapada Karya. These are stated in an Adhikara 631. The Adhikara is Aluk Uttarapade, 631. And in this particular Adhikara Sutra there are two padas, Aluk and Uttarapade. Uttarapade is relevant from this point of view. Uttarapade continues up to the end of 633. So, the entire 633 is governed by the Adhikara Uttarapade. Uttarapade is 7 slash 1 of Uttarapada and Uttarapada is the technical term used for the final member of the Tattpurusha Samasa or for that matter any other Samasa as well. So, when Uttarapade is used in the 7th case as an Adhikara it states the environment namely immediately before the Uttarapada that is the last member of the compound. Obviously in case of Tattpurusha it invariably refers to the first member of the compound namely the Purvapada which undergoes certain operation in the environment of the Uttarapada following. So, immediately before the last member of the compound what comes invariably is the Purvapada and then the operations related to the modifications in the Purvapada are stated in 6.3 Shastradhyaya Tritiya Padha of the Ashtadhyay some of which we shall study in this particular lecture. So, some of the Purvapada karyas are non deletion of the Sup also stated as Alok they are also treated in 6.3. Umatbhava the going back to the Pratipadika form from a feminine gender suffixed form is the Umatbhava this is also stated in 6.3. Morphological modifications are also stated in 6.3 and phonological modifications which are stated in 8.3 and 4 and so on they are also the Purvapada karyas some of them we have already studied in the initial part of this course in this lecture we shall focus on the morphological modifications that happen as far as the Purvapada is concerned. So, the Purvapada karya is concerned. Let us study sutras one by one the first sutra that we study is 6.350 which is Radayasya Rullekha Yadan Laseshu Radayasya Rutt Lekha Yad An Laseshu there are three padas in the sutra Radayasya Rutt and Lekha Yad An Laseshu Radayasya is 6 slash 1 Rutt is 1 slash 1 Lekha Yad An Laseshu is 7 slash 3. So, what the sutra means over here is that immediately before the Uttara padas Lekha and Lasa and the suffixes Yad An An substitute Rutt in place of Radayasya. I repeat immediately before the Uttara padas Lekha and Lasa and the suffixes Yad An An substitute Rutt in place of Radayasya. So, the structure of the application of this sutra can be shown in the following manner. So, if you have Radayasya plus Lekha Yad An and Lasa then Radayasya is substituted by Rutt plus Lekha Yad An and Lasa. So, now when the meaning is writing of heart Radayam likhati one who writes one's heart. So, here we have the Laukika Vigraha Radayam likhati and the Laukika Vigraha is Radaya plus Am plus Lekha plus An. Now, Samasa Saudnia takes place Pratipati Saudnia takes place. So, the next stage in the derivation is Radaya plus 0 plus Lekha plus An and Lekha becomes Lekha. So, Radaya plus 0 plus Lekha plus An and now because Lekha is the Uttara padas Radaya is substituted by Rutt. So, we have Rutt plus Lekha and then this gets substituted by Luh. So, we have Rillekha Rillekha writing of the heart Rillekha as the finally derived compound output. Similarly, blossoming of heart is the meaning to be conveyed and we have the Laukika Vigraha Radayasya Lasaha and then it undergoes the same process Radayasya Lasaha and then finally derived compound output is Rilllasa whose Prathama Ekabachana is Rilllasa, Radayasya Rat, Lekha, Yad, An, Laseshu. The next sutra is Va, Shoka, Shiai, Rogeshu. In this sutra, there are two padas, Va as well as Shoka, Shiai, Rogeshu. Now, the meaning of the sutra is the following. Immediately before the Uttara padas, Shoka and Roga and the suffix Shiai substitute Rutt optionally in place of Radayasya. I repeat immediately before the Uttara padas, Shoka and Roga and the suffix Shiai substitute Rutt optionally in place of Radayasya. So, when we have Radayasya plus Shoka, Shiai and Roga following, Radayasya is substituted optionally by Rutt when Shoka, Shiai and Roga follow. So, the meaning to be conveyed is the sorrow of heart. This is the Laukika Vigraha and then the Laukika Vigraha is Radayasya plus Gnasi plus Shoka plus Su. Samasa Saudnia takes place, Pratibhadika Saudnia takes place, Supodhatup Pratibhadika joho applies and so we have Radayasya plus Zero plus Shoka plus Zero. And now in this particular stage, Radayasya is substituted optionally by Rutt. So, we have Radayasya or Rutt plus Shoka and so we have either Radayasoka or Rutt Shoka and finally derived output is Radayasoka or Rutt Shoka after applying the necessary Sandhi rules. Radayasoka or Rutt Shoka. Radayasya is substituted by Rutt optionally. Similarly, when the meaning to be denoted is a disease of heart, Radayasya Rogaha. And so, Radayasya will be substituted optionally by Rutt and so you will get two outputs, Radayasya Rogah or Rutt Rogah and the Prathama Ekavachana would be Radayasya Rogaha or Rutt Rogah, meaning the same thing as Radayasya Rogah, a disease of heart. Let us now go to the next sutra, Padasyapada aji ati ga upahateshu 6352. Padasyapada aji ati ga upahateshu. Padasyapada is 6 slash 1, which means in place of the word padha. Padha is 1 slash 1, substitute padha. Aji ati ga upahateshu, this is 7 slash 3, when these are the uttara padhas. So, the meaning of the sutra is the following. Immediately before the uttara padhas aji ati ga upahateshu, padha is to be substituted by padha. I repeat, immediately before the uttara padhas aji ati ga upahateshu, padha is to be substituted by padha. So, the structure of the sutra and the output can be shown in this particular manner. When we have padha plus aji ati ga upahateshu as the input, the output is padha plus aji ati ga and upahateshu. So, when the meaning to be conveyed is one who goes on two feet or both feet, padabhyam ajati or padabhyam atati, this is the laukika vigraha and here we have the suffix e added to ajya and atta. So, we have padha plus bhyam plus aji or ati plus su. And so, samasa saudhnya takes place and pratibhadika saudhnya takes place. So, supodhatu pratibhadika yoga applies and so we have padha plus zero plus aji or ati plus zero. And then padha is substituted by padha because aji and ati are the uttarapadas and so we have padha plus aji or ati as the next stage of derivation. And when we join them together, we get padhaji or padati as the finally derived compound output meaning one who goes on two feet padhaji or padati. Similarly, when the meaning to be conveyed is the same and we have padha bhyam gachati. Now, we are using the verbal root differently padha bhyam gachati and here we have the a laukika vigraha padha plus bhyam plus gamma plus d and samasa saudhnya takes place. Pratibhadika also takes place supodhatu pratibhadika yoga applies. So, we have padha plus zero plus gamma plus a in the suffix d, d is a marker. So, a is the suffix which remains. So, padha plus zero plus gamma plus a and then padha is substituted by padha and then am in gamma gets deleted because of the marker d. So, we have padha plus g plus a and finally, we get the form padha g which means the same thing as padha bhyam gachati padha g. Similarly, when the meaning to be conveyed is struck or hit by two feet padha bhyam upahata. The meaning is conveyed by the finally compound output padhopahata. Next is 6354 which is hemakashi hatishucha. Words continued are padhasya from 6352 and path from 6353 and what this sutra means is that immediately before an uttrapada in the form of hemakashi and hati substitute padha by padha. I repeat immediately before an uttrapada in the form of hemakashi and hati substitute padha by padha. So, padha is the purva padha which is to be substituted by padha in these three uttrapadas these three environments. So, here we have the meaning going by feet and the laukika vigraha is padha bhyam hati. So, we have the alaukika vigraha padha plus bhyam plus hati plus su and then samasa saudhnya takes place. Prathivedika saudhnya also takes place. So, supodhatu prathivedika yoho applies and so we have padha plus zero plus hati plus zero and then padha is substituted by padha by this particular sutra 6354 and so we have padha plus zero plus hati plus zero and then this th is substituted by the. So, we have padha plus hati and then her in hati is substituted by dha jhajo honya tarasyaam. So, we have padha plus dhati and finally we have padhati as the finally derived compound output meaning the same thing as padha bhyam hati he going by feet padhati. Similarly, when the meaning to be conveyed is frost at feet or snow at feet we have padha syahimam as the laukika vigraha and padhimam as the finally derived compound output and the prathama ekavachana. Similarly, when the meaning to be conveyed is to scratch by both feet one who scratches by both feet. So, padha bhyam kashati this is the laukika vigraha and finally derived compound output is padh kashin where padha is substituted by padh and padh kashi is the prathama ekavachana of padh kashin. Next, we go to 63101 the sutra is kohokat tattpurushe achi what this sutra means is in a tattpurusha compound immediately before an uttrapada that begins with a vowel who is substituted by kath in this sutra there are four padhas kohokat tattpurusha and achi tattpurusha is seven slash one in the tattpurusha compound achi is seven slash one qualifying uttrapadae and therefore achi means ajadi koho is six slash one kath is one slash one. So, the meaning of the sutra I repeat is the following in a tattpurusha compound immediately before an uttrapada that begins with a vowel who is substituted by kath. So, when the meaning to be conveyed is a censured horse kutsitaha ashvaha we have ku plus su plus ashva plus su as the laukika vigraha and so ku gets substituted by kath samasa saudhnya takes place prathipati saudhnya takes place supadhatup prathipati kajoh applies and we have kath plus zero plus ashva plus zero and when we join them together we get the finally derived compound output in the form of kadashva meaning kutsitaha ashvaha similarly when the meaning to be conveyed is censured food and the laukika vigraha is kutsitam annam we have the a laukika vigraha in the form of ku plus su plus annam plus su and ku here and ku here is substituted by kath and so we have kath plus su plus annam plus su samasa saudhnya takes place prathipati saudhnya takes place and supadhatup prathipati kajoh applies so we have ku plus annam and ku is substituted by kath and so we have kadanna as the finally derived compound output of this particular sutra the next sutra is 6 3 1 0 2 ratha vada yoscha this means in a tattpurusha compound also immediately before an uttrapada in the form of ratha and vada ku is substituted by kath i repeat in a tattpurusha compound also immediately before an uttrapada in the form of ratha and vada ku is substituted by kath so when the meaning to be denoted is a censured chariot the laukika vigraha is kutsitaha ratha and the finally derived compound output is kadratha similarly when the meaning to be denoted is a censured speaker and the laukika vigraha is kutsitaha vada and the finally derived compound output is kadvada so kadratha and kadvada these are the compound outputs generated by substituting ku by kath in accordance with 6 3 1 0 2 ratha vada yoscha similarly 6 3 1 0 3 is trinayacha jatau what it means is in a tattpurusha compound also immediately before an uttrapada in the form of trina which means a grass of a specific type ku is substituted by kath i repeat in a tattpurusha compound also immediately before an uttrapada in the form of trina of a specific type ku is substituted by kath so when the meaning to be conveyed is a special type of grass the final their finally derived compound output is katruna a special type of grass katruna next we go to 6 3 1 0 4 the meaning of the sutra is in a tattpurusha compound also immediately before an uttrapada in the form of pathin and aksha ku is substituted by kaa i repeat in a tattpurusha compound also immediately before an uttrapada in the form of pathin and aksha ku is substituted by kaa so the meaning to be conveyed is a censured path and the laukika vigraha is kutsita panthaha and now ku is substituted by kaa and so we get the finally derived compound output in the form of kapatha and its prathama ekavachana would be kapathham similarly when the meaning to be conveyed is a censured eye the laukika vigraha would be kutsitam aksham and ku being replaced by kaa and we get the finally derived compound output namely kaksha kaa pathyaksha yoho now let us go to 6 3 1 0 5 isha dharthe the meaning of the sutra is in a tattpurusha compound also immediately before an uttrapada ku when means little is substituted by kaa i repeat in a tattpurusha compound also immediately before an uttrapada ku when means little is substituted by kaa so when the meaning to be conveyed is little water isha jalam is the laukika vigraha so ku means isha here little here and so this ku is substituted by kaa and so the finally derived compound output is kaa jala kaa jala meaning little water next we go to 6 3 1 0 7 kavam choshne this sutra means in a tattpurusha compound immediately before an uttrapada usna ku when means little is substituted by kaa as well as kaa optionally i repeat in a tattpurusha compound immediately before an uttrapada usna ku when means little is substituted by kaa as well as kaa optionally so when you so when the meaning to be conveyed is little form isha usnam is the laukika vigraha and finally we get the derived output optionally as kavoshna with kaa as the substitute koshna with kaa as the substitute and kadushna with kaa as the substitute of ku so we have three forms kavoshna koshna and kadushna meaning isha usna little warm to summarize the operations which affect the purvapada shape the form of the final output of the compound these operations always take place in the environment of the uttrapada immediately following these operations are completely internal in many cases purvapadas with or without these operations resemble the vocative singular form of the pratipadika in some cases the modifications are different forms these are the texts referred to thank you very much


Hey everyone, and welcome back to another video on the Broogly Channel. I am Broogly, your host, and in this video I am going to be explaining Backroom's level The Blood Moon, which is easily the most dangerous sub-level that I have ever gone over. Even more dangerous than level exclamation mark sub-levels, which I thought were the worst, until I read this one. Anyways, I know you all like things like this, so let's get into it, shall we? Backroom's level The Blood Moon is a sub-level of a little place called The Terror Dreams. Now I have a video on that level, link below, but this sub-area is classified as your all's favorite classification, a class dead zone, with it having a bunch of hazards being uninhabitable and lethal entities living here. So The Blood Moon is sort of an event that happens inside of the main level, and when this event happens, you'll notice some changes starting. The first big one is that the main level, Terror Dreams, takes place inside of buildings, and when this Blood Moon thing happens, those buildings and walls and rooms fade away to show a dark red landscape lit by a crimson red moon. This is where the hellscape begins. The red light comes from the moon, and it doesn't ever go away. It stays in the same spot forever. The moon itself doesn't actually emit that much light, but since everything else is dark, all you can see is red. Now that you're outside in the Blood Moon area, you'll notice that the landscape around you is made up of different types of biomes and areas, and all of the biomes are terrible in their own ways, and I'll get into them in a second. The ground everywhere is covered in these red vine type things, and they spread around the level kind of like a virus. Touching the vines gives away your location to several entities that live here. Normal ones like Smilers live here as well, but the main ones you're gonna have to worry about are nicknamed the Crimson Nightmares. These are large shadowy type figures that leave a trail of red behind them wherever they walk.  The different biomes are so big that they're thought to be infinite, and they're all destroyed and corroding and old looking, and to be honest, they're just gross. The only things in these biomes are entities and red vines and this creepy red glow from the moon. The further you go away from the start, the worse these biomes get. Now I'm gonna get into the specific areas that I was referring to, and why they're dangerous, and why you should not go here unless you're just crazy. Buckle up. The first area that you're likely to see is nicknamed the Vermillion Desert.  The crystals are like the only thing in this area and there's even no vines. As you can imagine, this is pretty much the only quote unquote safe part of the level because there are no vines and not that many entities, but you cannot stay here for long because eventually a Crimson Nightmare or a Smiler or some unknown entity will chase you out into the next biome. Speaking of the next biome, it's nicknamed the Forest of Mistakes. This place is way more dangerous than last and it is full of a decaying forest.  This area is a common hiding spot for entities since there are more places to hide behind trees and whatnot. And there are even some weird giant spider entities that live here too and cocoon themselves up in the trees. So if you have arachnophobia or if you don't like giant spiders then you're not gonna have fun here. The next known area past the forest has been nicknamed the Lake of Regrets and it is one of the worst places here. The lake itself has entities swimming around in it and entities around it, but those aren't the worst part. The worst part is that when you look at the water in the lake it will cause you to go into psychological shock because it'll show flashes of your worst memories and biggest regrets in your mind and these memories are used as a sort of weapon against you and the level flashes them in your head to distract you or slow you down so an entity will get you. Some people have tried to jump into the water to make the memory stop or to run away from an entity, but they've never been seen again, so who knows what's hiding down there. All that I know is that this still is not the worst biome. Beyond the Lake of Regrets is a mountain range that's been nicknamed the Peaks of Madness. These are insanely huge black mountains with sharp rocks sticking out of them. The trees on the mountain side are all black and ashy with no leaves. Pretty much everything is just dead here, but there are rivers running down from the tops of the mountains that are full of liquid pain. There's thought to be some kind of massive flying entity that lives high up in the hills somewhere, but so far there's only been one photograph and just whispers of its existence, but some people have claimed to hear it screeching in the night. The last biome that's been discovered so far is nicknamed the Plains of Dread. This desolate wasteland type area is what surrounds all of the other biomes that I just talked about. So if you somehow manage to make it through the desert, the woods, the lake, and the mountains, you'll be here in this decaying hellscape.  Even all the entities that are here are blacked out as well. This area has rain showers sometimes that are thought to drop liquid pain from the sky. Not confirmed yet, since you can't see the red, it's black and white. This biome is the last discovered area as of right now, and so far, no one has even been able to get through it to see if there's any more biomes past it, but I don't think I'd be risking it to be honest. To enter the Blood Moon area, you have to have been in the main level, Terror Dreams. And from then, it's not known how or when the Blood Moon event happens or why it does or who it picks or why it picks them, but what I just described is what happens when it does occur. To exit this sub-level, it's thought that you have to destroy as many red vines as you can.  This exit is just a theory though, because no one truly knows how to escape, we're just guessing. Alright, that is it for the video, I do hope you enjoyed it. This one was terrifying, and it just kept getting worse and worse, and more dangerous as it went on, and I hope you enjoyed it. I think it takes the cake as the most dangerous sub-level.

If you're closing in on 500,000 subscribers, which I still cannot believe, that is just an absurd number, and it's half of a million people. I cannot thank you all enough for all you've done for me, the supporting me, everything you just do, you interact with the content. Thank you so much, thank you, I say it every video, and I say that I say it every video, but it is just, that's all I can say, it's thank you so much.

Peace out y'all.


The Chronovisor is the name given to a machine that was said to be capable of viewing past and future events. Invented by Father Ernetti, an intellectually brilliant priest and benedictine monk, he claimed to have evoked the insights of modern physics with ancient occult knowledge of the astral planes to build in secret a time machine known as the Chronovisor. He asserted that using the Chronovisor as his eyes and ears, he had watched Christ dying on the cross and attended a performance of the now lost tragedy, the Estes, by the father of Latin poetry in Rome in 169 BC. This type of time machine would bring images and audio from the distant past into the present. Time machines that transport people seem well beyond anything our technology can build, but what about an instrument that just deals with pictures and sounds? Something as simple as a mirror is really a type of Chronovisor. We don't see ourselves in the mirror as we currently are, but as we were just a few millions of a second before, the time it takes the light to travel from our face to the mirror reflect off and return to our eyes. Can this principle be adapted? The distant galaxies we view through large telescopes around the world don't actually look like they are today, but as they would have looked when the light left them billions of years ago. If a scientist on a planet 200 light years away had a powerful enough telescope that he could view activities on Earth, he wouldn't see us waving back with our own technology, but life as it was two centuries ago. He would see the Industrial Revolution, not the International Space Station or skyscrapers in New York City. If it's possible to see into the past of a distant galaxy using a telescope, why can't a device be built that would allow us to peer into history here back on Earth? Telescopes compare into the universe's past, but what part of history they view of course depends on how far away the object is. A star 500 light years away can only be seen as it was 500 years ago, not as it was hundreds of years earlier. We can only view what is visible from Earth. We can't see what's on the other side of Orion no matter how hard we try, it'll always remain beyond our reach. The device described by Father Inetti is proved possible by physics, yet we remain in the dark about the secrets he discovered.


A leader is a leader is a leader. It doesn't matter if you're talking about the leader of a sports team, the leader of a Fortune 500 for-profit business, the leader of a nonprofit, or even the leader of your family, the leader of your church, a leader in a community organization. You know, leadership is about being able to develop other people. It's about pouring into others and caring about others and getting them to be able to accomplish things they most likely would not have been able to do without your leadership and your empowerment and so forth. It's about being able to have a positive impact and influence over other people. You know, that's kind of a collage of what leadership is and that knows no boundaries. So when it comes to leadership, I think it's really important that someone sits down and asks themself, you know, what type of leader would I like to be led by? You know, and really get the, I always would ask that of coaches, you know, are you the type of coach that you'd want to play for? Are you the type of teammate you'd want to play with? And these questions are really, really important. And, you know, if I'm the leader of a nonprofit and I'm sitting there thinking, all right, what type of leader would I want to work for and come up with a list of traits that I believe the most effective and influential leaders have, then I would start writing down those traits and you're gonna start to etch out a practice plan, if you will, of what the basics and the fundamentals are. You know, if you're listening to this and you think leaders should be A, B and C, then the next question is, how well are you doing A, B and C? And what are the basics and the fundamental building blocks of being good at A, B and C and make sure you're working on those? I'll give you one example and then, you know, listeners can certainly decide for themselves. I believe that in any area of life, one of the most important characteristics for a leader to have is they need to care. They need to care about the people they're leading. They need to care about their organization. They need to care about the mission and the vision and the purpose of the organization. So then the next question would be, if caring is an important trait of a leader, then what's a fundamental that you can work on to show folks that you care? I'm a big believer as well that the most important gift we have to offer another human being is our attention in the present moment. And I believe you show someone that you care about them by giving them your attention in the present moment. Something you're doing brilliantly right now, which is just actively listening. Just being present, fully focused, you know, be where your feet are.  You are important to me. I value what you have to say, so much so that I'm willing to invest my most valuable currency, which is my time with you right now. So if we kind of unpack this, being in the present moment, listening and asking insightful questions is how you show someone you care. And caring is an important fundamental of being a leader. So how can we practice the skill of being more present and of actively listening? I would equate listening to the footwork example that we used with Kobe. You know, footwork is to basketball as listening is to leadership. So there's one right there that we should all, who are aiming to be more influential and more impactful, we should all be practicing the skill of actively listening. Another thought when it comes to leadership, I do believe that each leader should have a philosophy, you know, a life philosophy, a leadership philosophy, and you should have some core principles and values and pillars that don't change. They are your convictions. Now, two things with that. One, I think we should all be open-minded to being flexible and being able to adapt. You know, 10 years ago at that time, I was the best leader that I could be at that time, but I'm not the same leader today that I was 10 years ago. And that's because I've learned new information. I've learned new ways of doing things. I've tweaked. So even if you have some incredibly tightly held beliefs, I still think we should be open to learning other ways. And I also think that we should be authentic enough to be chameleon-like in our leadership style that while your major pillars don't change, if right now, if you're leading 40 people in your nonprofit organization, I don't think you should lead each and every individual the exact same way. Now, the overarching foundation should most likely include the same principles. And these are more nuances, particularly from a communication standpoint. But if I'm leading 40 people in the nonprofit space, it's a pretty safe bet that all 40 people don't have the exact same strengths and weaknesses. All 40 people don't have the same needs. If you're on my team, you may require more of my time and attention than one of your teammates, which means I should be willing to devote more time and attention to you because that's what you need when maybe one of your teammates doesn't. And I think being chameleon-like enough that you don't lead every one the exact same way and you don't lead the exact same way in every scenario when it comes to these nuances is really, really important. This mindset of, I'm gonna do things the same way all of the time with everyone is just simply too rigid. I mean, Tom Brady has been playing professional football now for two decades. I think it's a pretty safe bet that his needs from the head coach or a position coach would be different than someone who's a rookie or a first year player. Tom knows the ropes pretty well by now. So the head coach of the Buccaneers will have a different relationship and a different communication style with Tom Brady than maybe he would with a rookie defensive back or someone else and that part's okay. And I love that you hit that the foundational pillars being respectful, building trust, caring, those things are gonna be the same regardless. I mean, that is the foundation of you as a leader but now let's make sure that the nuances, we can tweak and we can customize and personalize for every single person on the team.  So now we've still kind of created this web, if you will, of everyone feeling that they have a leader that they can go to, that they've built trust and respect with, that that person will communicate to them in a style that they prefer. That's the other thing about leadership. We have to remember it's not about me, it's about you.  The only thing that matters to me right now is that I'm adding value to your life personally because you're investing your time with me and that collectively we're adding value to your listeners because they are investing their time with us and we've already said that time is the most valuable currency so I wanna make sure they feel like it was a wise investment. Of course, I can go on any podcast and talk about what I wanna talk about. That's easy, just turn the mics on. I'm never short for words but I only wanna go on shows where I'm confident that I have something to add value to the other person because it's not about me, it's about you. And I think that's the leadership mantra 101. Every single morning when you wake up, you make sure you show up and then today's day and age showing up might mean showing up virtually. You show up with a mindset of it's not about me, it's about you.  People will want to be on our teams because of how much we care about them.


What's up, Charlotte? You guys have been really quiet today. I want to hear you guys get loud one time. Just let me hear you. How many new agents do we have? Okay, rule number one for new agents.  Seriously, I want to give you new agents a few tips real quick. A new agent, you need to own that you're a new agent, right? Whenever a seller or a buyer asks you if you're a new agent, how many houses you sold, so on and so forth, they don't really care about the answer so much as how you answer it. The confidence. They want somebody confident as their agent. So I don't care what your handicap is. If you think you're too old, too young, you're not tech savvy, you're scared of the phone. Whatever your handicap is, I promise you there's an angle. There's an opportunity right there somewhere for you. Okay, and I want you guys to start finding the angles and looking for the opportunities and not the negatives. Not what's holding you back. Why you think you won't make it. Let's figure out why we can make it. New agents have a lot of advantages over experienced agents. Tons of advantages. Okay, the biggest one that I see is time. New agents have so much more time to do things that experienced agents do not have time to do. And I think that you guys need to realize this and start utilizing it. Here's an example. When I was newer, I studied the market every day. I studied my MLS for like an hour. I knew every single property, every new listing, every closed sale, pending. I knew how long was on the market, square foot price. I knew everything like the back of my hand. After about two or three or four years, that wasn't as a priority as other things. Right? I started to lose that touch with the market. Now I still keep up with it but not near what it was from the beginning. And that gave me an edge over experienced agents. I knew more about the market. Right? And when there's always new marketing information coming out every single day, if you if you take advantage of the fact that it's brand new, brand new listing, brand new pending, brand new closed sale, and you take that information to the public first before anyone else, you now become known as an expert over all the other agents because you knew something about the market that nobody else knew. So this is just one example out of many examples of why whatever you think is your handicap is not your handicap. There's actually opportunities within. Who here is following me on YouTube or listening to my podcast? I'm Ricky Caruth. I'm a 17-year real estate agent. This year I'm actually having the best year in real estate that I've ever had and I've had some really good years. I've been a three-time number one remakes agent in the state of Alabama. Three-time diamond award winner which is a million dollars in personal income through remax. I wrote two books a couple years ago. I've been selling a hundred properties a year for the last five years straight just me and an assistant. And a couple years ago I started Zero to Diamond. I'm the only coach at Zero to Diamond. It's the very first completely free real estate coaching program. It's not a get in there and it's free up front. We're going to upcharge you kind of program. It's free forever. Take the information and go succeed program. The reason I love that it's free and I did start out charging but I'm good at adapting just like I'm a real estate business and I'll explain a lot of stuff to you. I'm really good at figuring out what works and what doesn't work and the free really came natural to me because when I came to do speeches I was having a whole back information that other people were paying for hoping the people listening wouldn't want to pay for that information as well. But now I can tell you everything right here and I don't have to hold back anything hoping that you pay me later. Okay that's the philosophy behind the free coaching and why I love it because I can tell you anything that you want to know and not care or expect anything back except for you to go succeed. So I've been doing that for about two years. I've still continued building my real estate business. Like I said this year is the best year I've had so far. My mission is to reduce the failure rate. That's why I'm doing this that's why I'm here. I flew here today I'm going to get on a plane and fly back to Orange Beach, Alabama right when I get through with this. I'm traveling around the world spreading the messages that I'm fixing to share with you. I'm going to Brazil at the end of the month I've been to like 10 places so far this year and I'm just going to keep pushing and trying to help people. I am reducing the failure rate. Agents are reaching out to me every week saying that they were about to quit. If you follow me on Instagram and watch my stories I post those messages some of them where people are telling me I was about to quit seven months ago and I found you somewhere. So that's what keeps me going is you guys reaching out to me telling me how much it's helping okay and I feel like I have a very unique way that I built my business and that's why I wanted to start sharing it because not a lot of people are coaching or teaching agents what I'm teaching you. Okay so I want to cover a couple of philosophies okay three main philosophies of my program and uh and then we'll go from there. The first philosophy is business is unlimited for every agent. Think about it for just a second business is unlimited for every single agent.  This is this is real this is what I've been through in the struggles that I had to go through to learn this stuff. This is not smoke and mirrors this is real facts. There's an unlimited amount of loyal clients for each and every agent out there. The problem is you haven't put the work in to find those loyal clients and that's that's the disconnect that's the problem okay true or false you can't call every single person in charlotte in your life you'll never talk to every single person okay therefore that is an unlimited amount of people that you have to to talk to about buying and selling properties it's unlimited you can't do it all unlimitedness means more than you can handle the fact that it's such a process to do a deal you got to talk to them create the relationship showing property you know nurture the relationship get the deal get the listing show the property it takes months and months and months and years sometimes decades to do a deal because of the process you can't just do a hundred deals right now today and get paid for all of them never because of the process that makes it to where we can only handle so much and if you if you will just please understand that business is unlimited you your mind starts to open up to the fact that wait a minute it's unlimited and it's predicated on how much i can handle personally how your success is predicated on two things how quickly you're going to adapt and realize what i'm telling you and then how hard you're going to work and how much you can handle are you going to put the work into talk to enough people and then how much can you handle i can handle about 20 to 25 under contract you know pending deals that's what i have all the time 20 to 25 pending deals i'll keep about 50 listings and i'm always where's my next one i'm really good at letting the process take care of itself and not worrying about all the little things in the deal that most people worry about and that allows me to handle more so what i'm saying is is it's all predicated on how much you can handle some people get two or three four properties under contract and that's it they're done they are tied up for weeks and i don't know what they do for eight hours a day with four or five pending deals and six listings that's literally five minutes a week for me to look at it and say okay all that stuff's good now where's my next deal coming from okay so i'm just sharing guys thoughts just out of my head randomly right now because i feel like you guys need it next key philosophy that that we really push is that it's okay if the market crashes this is a big one because everybody's scared about the market crashing we had such a huge crash in 2008 and it's went up for so long since then everybody's worried we've got to be at the top it's got to crash at some point it's going to go down to some point and i'm here to tell you that i got in the business when i was 20 years old it was 2002 the market exploded and i became a millionaire by 23 by the time i'm 25 the market crashed i lost everything i was bankrupt sleeping on france couch just slept in my car i went back to roofing houses and worked on the oil rig for a year okay i went through that and what happened was remarkable i was just as happy then as i am now and as i was before all that happened because to me my life is wake up and grind i just love the process i could retire right now i'm flying here for free to speak to you guys to try to help you because i love the process so during that time when the market crashed i read 100 books and studied the market and i want to know why i lost everything and i realized the big aha moment for me about how to handle the market crash and the fact that we don't have to worry about market crashes ever is when i was studying the market on mls tax records and i noticed that clients that i had before the market crashed were still buying i was on an oil rig working and they were still buying a selling stuff at the bottom and then it hit me like a ton of bricks i said man wait a minute number one the the biggest thing i realized was that closings happen every day they never stop the the the climate of the market changes and you have to change up your game plan not necessarily your game plan you do the same things you call people and ask them what you can do to help them you just continue on that path but but you change the market is changing so you're you're changing with it but the name of the game is contacting people whoever tossed the most people is going to win so i realized that closings happen every day but i also realized that how to how to make it through is when the market comes down property owners are going to do one of three things i want you to take this with you they either buy because it's so cheap and they want to buy it right now before it goes up or they sell because they're in trouble the market crashed on them or they hold they're going to ride it out and i want to contact as many property owners as i can during that time and ask them which of the three options that they're going to go forward with at this time and out of the three that they're going to whichever one they're choosing is there an agent they're going to work with on that and if not i would love to be your agent i would love to stay in touch with you and i want to start building those relationships market share is not how many closings listings transactions that you have it's how many real lifelong relationships you have with property owners in the area whatever agent has the biggest percentage of relationships with property owners in the area wins you won if a really big time agent sells 500 properties over here but it doesn't care about people and ricky is over here and he built a thousand real relationships during that same year but only close 20 deals i'm gonna i'm putting my money on ricky for the future we trade stocks on future earnings of companies and i trade market share on future earnings of real estate agents and whoever has that has those those owners in their pocket because the owners of the highest quality prospects period they buy and sell they own the property that you want to sell okay what we do what i teach and the way that i've developed my business is this i show you how to create your own unlimited amount of the highest quality prospects for the cheapest price possible i've cracked the code i've figured it out and now i'm sharing with everybody for nothing my third mindset i want to share with you today and this is a big one relationships over transactions this was the one when i realized my clients were still buying at the bottom that's when it hit me that i was more concerned with the deals up to that point i didn't think anything about the people and when i saw that i thought man if i would have stayed like buddies if they if i would have continued those relationships or stayed in touch and saw what i could do to help those people i would have been i would have been closing those deals and so i just took all this information all the books are read and everything that happened i put it all together 2000 2007 i got laid off from the oil rig i was already dabbling in real estate and boom i had it was like the perfect storm i realized all this stuff i got laid off i had no choice i had to do something and i just started crushing it 2008 i had a really good year 2009 2010 was a bp oil spill mini recession for my area hit us really hard everybody was scared to death sellers were dumping agents were leaving the area i made more money i made 50 more money i went from 100,009 to 150 in 2010 just going through adopting this i was i was so excited because i was like i can test out my new theories on this little mini recession and see if what i what i figured out really works and it worked so i just continued on continued on continued on by 2014 so 2008 i realized everything it took me six more years of implementing 15 hours a day to get to 100 deals a year it doesn't happen overnight it took me eight years making it losing it learning it another six years implementing to get where i really wanted to be it was 100 deals a year that's what i really want what i really wanted was a million dollars a year and i finally hit that so the relationships over transactions let me dive into that really briefly what the mainstream training out there says call sellers ask them if they want to sell see if they consider moving if not who do they know anybody heard that before okay those scripts are designed to figure out what the client can do for you think about it you're asking them if they would please mr seller you don't know me but will you please sell something so i can make a commission i don't know you this is the first time we're talking but please do a deal with me so i can make money right please do something for me and what i'm saying is throw that away take all the 1980 scripts that are out there follow them up put them in a pile and just burn them and adopt my script which is hey mr johnson hey this is ricky crew that remakes of orange beach how you doing good i'm enjoying the days and it gorgeous look i don't want to take it too much of your time but a house around the corner just sold didn't know if there's anything in the world i could do for you today didn't know if there's anything in the world i can do for you i want to know what i can do for the client not what the client can do for me now i got a real relationship happening here i got a real i have some some some real substance to what i'm to what's going on i'm not asking them for anything i'm certainly not asking you know he doesn't know me but will you divulge all your future financial biggest plans to me and if not tell me all your friends and families names and numbers right it's horrible that's why i'm doing what i'm doing i'm spreading realness into an industry that's full of so much smoke and i'm going to reduce the failure rate so i want to give you guys a bonus a bonus mindset real quick ricky's law five you're like this losing deals is inevitable you're going to lose a deal sellers are going to not choose you to list um you know buyers are going to write a contract and get cold feet all kinds of things are going to happen they're out of your control you can't control it so why should you worry about something that you can't control that's what i said earlier about when i have so many deals i don't worry about them because i'm letting them i'm out of control of it if a fire pops up sure i'll put it out i'll handle it when the time comes i'm not going to sit around worrying about i'm going to sit around thinking about who else can i help because if i sit around trying to fix every little problem before it comes up and i'm trying to worry about every little thing i'm doing a disservice to my future clients that need me i'm taking that time away from future clients that need me and i'm putting it right here where it doesn't need to be at all because those deals are done that buyer wants to buy that sale wants to sell that deal is closed right so what i want you to do when you when you lose a deal because what happens when we lose a deal we sulk about it we're upset why'd it happen i had the money i was already had it spent but the thing is is it wasn't your money it wasn't it's not that that was never your money it was never your property it's the property owners that's their choice of what they want to do with that property not yours you have no control over this stuff you do the best you can do to connect okay we want to connect first then convert remember that connect first then convert but the law of five every time you lose a deal i want you to set a stopper stop watch on your on your phone once you put five minutes in i want i want you to hit go i want to give yourself five minutes to sulk and think about what i'll let it all replay in your head when that five minutes is over you're done thinking about it forget about it forever and take the future time you just got back that you don't have to do that deal anymore and go get five more deals you can literally get five more deals with the time that you don't have to spend showing listing all the different intricate details of that deal think about it when you're thinking of what that five minutes i want you to think about the future time think about all the stuff you would have to do if you did that deal and all the time that would have taken the hours and i want you to take five minutes just think about it and sulk about it and then when it's over forget about it and go get five more deals this is how you multiply your business this is real stuff so i gotta go i don't have much time here question if you guys had your choice just hypothetically here if you had your choice between a coach who either never sold real estate or doesn't sell anymore or this coach over here who sells a hundred properties a year for the last five years straight still going still going harder than he ever went as a single agent and will teach you everything that he knows for nothing which one are you going to choose okay here's my coaching program first completely free real estate coaching program you can start a free account at zero two diamond dot com you can also text list to last which is the name of my second

think and the way the way i see it going this is the way of the future asking people is anything in the world i can do for it i'll leave you with this real estate we're not in the real estate business we're in the people business and if you'll quit chasing deals people are going to find you i love you guys thank you so much
