These GOP Primary Numbers Are Not Favorable...
"Worth watching. And it's But the hard reality is this primary, the numbers right now are not favorable. And they're not favorable because Karl as Rove, who would love him or hate him, wrote the Wall Street Journal this week, you know, Rove has an interest in not getting Trump elected. Rove doesn't like Trump. He just doesn't. It's obvious. I read his stuff in The Wall Street Journal because I want to see what everybody's saying, not just people I agree with. And Rove brought up the point that I I think think it was Rove, but they got to get to Amano Amano. There's got to be like a one on one. If any of these men or women, Nikki Haley, Vivek or DeSantis, who are really the only three contenders seriously left, if any of them are to have a chance, they got to get to a one on one. And there's no reason for any of them to drop out. Folks, put yourself in their shoes. The donor wants one guy or woman. And they think that in a one on one, they've got a shot against Trump. I don't agree. I think Trump right now is kind of running away with it to the point where pluralities and majorities are going to be there in pretty much every state. However, I don't think primaries are a bad thing. And I think a one on one, obviously, math pure would give that person or man a better shot. No diggity, no doubt. The problem is, put yourself in their shoes. If you're Nikki Haley, why are you going to drop out? You're currently running number two in New Hampshire. If you're Nikki Haley, you're in the back room in a smoke filled room with a bunch of donors going, screw that, let that guy drop out, DeSantis. But if you're DeSantis, you're looking at the Haley donors going, well, why would I drop out? I'm number two in Iowa. Right? Well, why not Vivek? Folks, Vivek is worth 100 plus million dollars. Vivek's probably like, you know what? This is an investment in my future. I like politics. I like the Republican brand. I could run again in the future. Why the hell would I drop out? I can finance You gotta remember, man, the

"Climate change. Paid for by House Majority Forward. For more NBC News Radio. I'm Jim Forbes. Israel and Hamas have resumed fighting now that a seven day truce is over. The Israeli military announced Friday that it resumed combat in the Gaza Strip, claiming Hamas violated the truce and fired a rocket toward Israeli territory. Israeli airstrikes have been reported in Gaza City and drones have been reported over southern Gaza. During the truce Hamas released 80 hostages in exchange for 240 Palestinian prisoners. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken was in Israel on Thursday, calling for the truce to be extended. But after their meeting, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said they swore, quote, to eliminate Hamas and that nothing will prevent that from happening. In what Atlanta police are calling an extreme act of political protest, a person is in critical condition after setting themselves on fire using gasoline. More now from Liz Kennedy. Authorities say an individual stood outside the building that houses the Israeli consulate in Atlanta Friday afternoon around 1217. At that time, the security guard noticed that the individual was attempting to set themselves a fire. He immediately attempted but failed to stop the individual. Fire Chief Rod Smith also said the security guard was burned on his wrist and leg and the protesters suffered 100 degree burns. Both were taken to Grady Hospital. Police Chief Darren Sherbaum said they don't believe it was an act of terrorism. Chief Sherbaum said everyone is protected in Atlanta Georgia regardless of religion heritage or nationality. I'm Liz Kennedy. And New York Republican George Santos is no longer a member of Congress.

Trump's Attorney Alina Habba Talks 1st Amendment Rights Violations
"He is, Dan Bongino. All right, I should have told you about it in the last segment, but I'm really happy to have a guest. I want to get right to her because she's kind of tight on time right now. One of Donald Trump's attorneys, you've seen her on TV, on Fox and elsewhere doing a great job defending President, former President Trump. Alina Haba. Alina, thanks for spending some time with us. I know you were on a long line here, so we appreciate it. Of course, anything for you, Dan. Thanks for having me. You're the best. It was great seeing you UFC, at the by the way. But let me get right to it. Mark Levin put out a great tweet the other day. I just tweeted it about all of the rights President Trump doesn't seem to have in what we thought was a constitutional public. Let's go through them one by one. I mean, you guys don't seem to have First Amendment rights, Alina. These gag orders for a man who is the leading and likely Republican nominee for president while he's running for president and being attacked on the police state running against the police state seem like their political orders and not effective judicial legal ones. Well, that's right. That's 100 % right. And then if you had any question about it, we had to take the last one where they actually gagged me as well as the president and said that I couldn't even make objections in court. I couldn't make objections in court where my job is to object, is to protect the president. I was gagged. And the fact is we took it up to the appellate division. We won. We had it stayed. And now we've submitted papers explaining how completely unconstitutional it is to take anybody's First Amendment right. Political speech is overtly protected on a higher level than anything else. And they are trying to take the leading candidate's voice away and they're trying to take his lawyer's voice away,

Gun Confiscation in Biden's America: Will You Be on the List?
"Who have 100 ,000 followers. I'm not even mentioning their names, but just imagine for a second you garner 50 thousand followers. You're Joe Smith.

And all of a sudden you start posting about and Biden wins, God forbid, in 2024, you start posting about Hunter Biden's crack problems and his paintings and money laundering. Oh, next thing you know, look, you get a knock at the door. We'd like to talk to you about these Twitter posts, by the way. You have a gun, son of your business. Well, actually it is our business. You have a gun. We'd like to see that. Next thing you know, you get some kind of flag red against you. Your guns are confiscated. look, Oh, they find a gun in your house and all of a sudden they make up some phantom menacing thing. Oh, he lunged for it. Meanwhile, you were seven rooms away while they're in your house. This is what worries me. They will use the gun list as a way to target their political opponents. Not that they're going to confiscate every gun. There's no way. They have no chance. But how would they do that, folks? And now let's play a little interactive game. But, Dan, I've listened to your show before. It's illegal for the federal government to create Yes, correct. It's also illegal for the federal government to use tax dollars to pay off people's student loans. But they do that. There's always a workaround for tyrants. And the workaround for the tyrants is the background check system. The federal government wants to desperately compile a list of everybody that's gone through a background check for a firearm. So they have a list of every firearm and who bought it. The problem, ladies and gentlemen, is the mandatory background check is only for sales from FFLs. It's not for private. So Mike if or I were to give away a firearm to, say, our daughters or sons, and they're not prohibited possessors, the government son of the government's business, your gun, you can give it to whoever you want, as long as it's the law.

Endrow Metelus of Favela Boys Apparel Describes His Journey From Haiti to the US
"Can you share your story, the story behind your journey from Haiti to the United States and how your experience growing up in various communities have influenced your part? Obviously, I see that the focus of your organization is to try to change a conversation from the inner city being as it is portrayed out there in a positive light. Look at the illustration in the back of this shirt, of this t -shirt. This is really amazing. I love what you just said earlier. We're talking about this young man, for example, in the inner city. It's just to portray the environment, the mood in that very environment to tell a story, basically. Correct me if I am wrong, but while you're describing your journey from Haiti to the United States and how your experience in all this community has affected or influenced your view, your perspective to this point, can you please also integrate what I just shared, what you just shared about this young man, please? Correct. Pretty much born and raised in Haiti. I live in Port -au -Prince, the biggest city in Haiti. We live in Port -au -Prince. At some point, there was a coup d 'etat that happened. I ended up living in a farm for a couple of years. I've had that experience, living on a farm, 100 acres of land with mules, taking showers in the lake. Wait a minute. Why did you come to the United States, man? The coup d 'etat, the mules, everything, 100 acres. I live in a farm, doing the farmland, and I live in the city. Eventually, I was one of the lucky ones. Haiti, the life and experience of Haiti, there wasn't a lot of opportunity. I was one of the lucky ones to be able to migrate to the United States. The first place I landed was Brooklyn, Crown Heights back in the 90s, 96 to be exact. If anyone was in Brooklyn, not the Brooklyn of today, Brooklyn back in 96, you understand it wasn't the Brooklyn of today, the Brooklyn of gentrification Brooklyn that we know. I had to go ahead. I didn't speak any English. I had to learn the language. I had to learn the language. At the same time, I was also an outsider because it's so new to me, so I had to be outside trying to understand the culture as well, understand the culture, understand the language. Eventually, I moved to Queens, Hollis, Queens to be exact. Same thing, it's a whole different culture. Even though it's still New York, there's a different culture there. It's more residential, but still the inner city at the same time. Start to learn a little bit more English to communicate with friends, start making more friends because I can speak now instead of being, because when you don't speak English, you just analyze it. You're just observing because you don't speak the language. You can't communicate with other people unless they speak your language. It actually is a gift because you're just analyzing everything. You're just learning everything. You're just trying to understand everything. Then once you're able to communicate, now you start talking about music, films, and so on and so forth. Then eventually, when they hit 1999, I moved to the suburbs of Philadelphia, right outside of Philadelphia, right outside of the city. That was a shock as well because I'm going to school where, when I was in New York, some of the kids had the clothes, the fashion and everything, some of them. Most didn't. When you go to where I went to the suburbs, all the kids, they turned 16, they got brand new cars. It's true. They got Mercedes. Everybody's looking fresh. It was a whole different thing. It was very different. It was more focused on education. You talk about college, university. These are conversations. I didn't even know what college was when I was in New York. I didn't even know what high school was when I was in New York. When you go to the suburbs, that's the conversation you were having. That's the conversation. Is there a difference? There's a huge difference. Oh, really? A huge difference because when you're in the suburbs, the kids are talking about what college we're going to. What did you get in the SATs? That's the focus. The focus is that. Because most of the parents are white collar doctors, lawyers, or pretty much doing well. They wanted to make sure their kids have the skill set to continue that path moving forward. That's also all these things. From Haiti to New York, the inner city, to the suburbs. I had a taste of everything. It's so easy for me to get along with pretty much everyone. I'm able to do that over the world because I travel a lot as well. I love it. I love it being able to have all these different experiences. That's pretty much how I came with this whole clothing brand.

Adebayo Alomaja Is Revolutionizing Education With Micro-Learning
"Tell us a little bit about the course that you have designed. What topics do you cover? Yeah, sure. Sure. Thank you. As I think about how learning is going to become more and more interesting, more fun, even in K -12, we see a place of micro -learning coming into the equation. Okay. We see the place of micro -learning coming into the equation. So if you see what the course looks like, it's designed to cut off the noise. One of the things we need to, the problem we need to solve in K -12 is that there's a lot of noise. We expose kids to too many things that are not important. These things can be streamlined and presented from a micro -learning perspective such that what we are giving kids is just exactly what they need to know, just exactly what they need to know. And that's the idea of micro -learning. People think, is it going to be effective? It's going to be effective. And that's why we talk about teachers becoming learning designers, because by the time you're thinking as a learning designer, you will begin to focus on specifics, specific things that needs to be addressed and how you want to capture in the learning experience is just nothing but those specifics. In this course, it's about how to design authentic learning in K -12. And I just decided to address the basics, the starting point for anybody from anywhere, wherever you are across the world. If you're thinking about offering your learners something more than just being able to pass exams, something more that will make their society respect them, something more that will put them in a place where they can have real value to their society. You want to join the class of educators that are not traditional, but that are offering kids real value. Then you want to think about jumping on this course. I taught them all the basics. And then in the course, I talked about basically how teachers can become more familiar with context as against content. I talked about substituting content for context. Like I always say that context should determine content when it comes to engaging learners. I always say that. I got my inspiration from the story of what's happening in Dubai. I mentioned it in the course too, how Dubai wants to go and live in Mars by year 2017. That's like next 90 something years. So they lost the project in 2017. It was an 100 years project. So they traveled to Mars. And what they went to do was to study everything about Mars. And so when they were done with that, they came back to the earth and then built a colony, built something that looks like Mars. When it's right now, that thing is in Dubai. They built it. The whole atmosphere in terms of pressure, temperature, and everything in Mars, they came to replicate. They built like a simulation of that under the earth. So they are saying that they are going to live in that thing. And if they can live in it and survive in it between now, between 2017 and 2017, then that means they are now right to move to Mars, to build, to go and start building Mars. And the lesson I learned from that is that we need the atmosphere of a reality to prepare for that reality. That's the lesson I learned from that. So Dubai looked into the future, created the future and the present to prepare for the future. So that tells me, that tells K -12, that tells every educator that you cannot be effective if you don't understand what is coming. You don't understand what the world is asking for. You cannot be effective in a classroom because you only keep offering what is not needed. So there's a need for educators to understand the context, what is obtainable. For example, I always say that vocabularies are seasonal. There was nothing like child deputy in the year 2010, nothing like that, nothing like that. So if we want to stick with what our syllabus and the scheme of work says, and we want to just keep following it head on and on, what will happen is that - No innovation. Yeah, so we'll just keep disconnecting our learners from the reality and what real life is saying by the hour, right? And that's really going to be quite problematic. So in the course, I opened up educators to being able to get more familiar with context and how to begin to use context to influence how they design their learning experiences I sped up some very simple steps, practically, that educators can adopt to help them move and move and just keep gravitating. So that course is just like a starting point for every educator that wants to go into the world of authentic learning.

Biden's Inflation Numbers Exposed
"Jim, we got time for Rick Santelli, right? Here's Rick Santelli on CNBC. He was the guy who basically started the Tea Party talking about the inflation numbers. I want you to pay special attention to the last five seconds of this because that's where all the good, the nation is. Here, check this out. What I would consider potentially the most important, even though it's ex food and energy is over year year CPI, 4%, one tenth lighter than we are expecting, one tenth lighter than our last look, which was 4 .1 and the metric there, and this is a biggie, we have been under 4 % since May of 2021. Yes, under 4 % since May of 2021. Folks, that's the kicker. The Biden tea, why isn't it bad enough yet, like we started at the beginning of the show, because the media will not tell the truth. You can frame anything in a positive light if you'd like to. I mean, think about it, you get a pool of a thousand people and 600 are murdered. Oh my gosh, there's no way to frame that positively. You could say, yes, 400 people are still after alive the week in May. You're like, wow, that's really great. Never mentioning 600 died. The media is obsessed with the inflation's down 65%. Yeah, it is. Except the prices are still going up annually at a rate of about 3 and 4 % just because it was 9 % before and higher in some categories. The prices don't go down. If this show was by subscription only, not free radio, and it was $100 a year, and I raised the price to $110, and I say, news, good folks, next year we're only raising our prices

First Responder Wife Daniela Shares Her Family's Harrowing Hostage Nightmare
"We have Daniella T from Ontario, Canada with us today. Daniella is a first responder wife and mom to two girls, as well as a full -time staffing coordinator at her local hospital. Daniella's life changed forever when her husband was taken hostage during a shift when he was working as a correctional officer. Four of the longest hours ensued not knowing what the future would bring. Thankfully, through the hard work of the negotiating team, he was released with minimal physical injuries, but it would be the invisible injuries that would have the most profound effect and that would end up testing them as individuals and as a couple. While her husband recognized he would need immediate help facing the challenges that would come with PTSD, Daniella pushed the need to reach out for support for herself in dealing with the trauma and focused 100 % of her attention and care to him and their two children. As time progressed, Daniella recognized that she too finally needed to truly process the ordeal and the injuries she had been enduring as a result. So she started a blog called The Often Unseen and that was a major step in her healing journey. Welcome, Daniella. Thanks for coming on the show. Thanks. I'm fangirling a little bit here because I've been following you guys for over a year now. And when I saw you guys kind of put a call out to, you know, people who might want to be a guest, I was like, Oh my God, pick me. Thank you for having the courage to come and talk about your healing journey with us today. So based on your own comfort level, walk us through the incident. Yeah. So it was September 14th, 2018, and it was a Friday afternoon. I'll never forget that date, but it was just a regular day. And if you ever hear my husband tell the story, he always starts with, I wasn't even supposed to work that day. It was an overtime shift that he had picked up, but it was a regular day. I was out running errands and I had gotten a message from the superintendent of the jail. Our town is a very small town and everybody knows everybody. And I knew this gentleman through other community things that we had been involved in. And he sent me a Facebook message saying, Hey, it's Steve, call me when you get this. And I thought that's weird, but whatever. So I called him when I got home and he started it by saying, where are you? And I thought that was weird. And I said, Oh, I'm at home. And well, where's home? You guys moved, right? And we had been in the process of, we had sold our house and we were living with my in -laws while we went through the process of buying a new house. So I said, yeah, we're here at the address. I said, what's going on? And so now I'm kind of thinking, you know, like I should preface this because I'm guessing probably a lot of your listeners are American, but up here, the jail that my husband worked at, it was sort of like a minimum security. And so really the only weapons that they carry to protect themselves were pepper spray. So I'm thinking, Oh, he had to use this pepper spray. He got some in the eye or, or something along those lines. And then he just said, I'm sending someone over to the house. And then that was when I sort of started to panic. And then he said, there's been an incident and they have John. And I just, I had like an out of body experience. I fell to the floor. I couldn't breathe. And I could see myself like sitting on the floor, trying to process this bomb that had been dropped. And it was probably one o 'clock in the afternoon. So my kids were at school and daycare. And so I thought, I didn't know what to do. So I called my mother -in -law who I was living with. And I said, where are you? In my calmest voice that I tried to, you know, where are you? And she said, I'm downtown. And I said, I need you to come home now. And again, we live in a small town. It takes less than 10 minutes to pretty much get it anywhere. And she said, okay, is everything all right? I said, I need you to come home now. And so as she pulled up the chaplain from the jail, as well as the police officer were pulling up. And so she kind of was like, do you have the right house? And so they were like, yes. So she came in and I had to tell her, I couldn't even really talk. I sent a text to my mom and my dad and my sister who all lived here. And I said, I can't talk. This is what has happened. I know nothing. And so my dad was retired. He came over, my mom left work. She came over and we all just sat around the table for like, you know, it was probably a total of three hours, but again, a small town. I started to get text messages from people saying, I heard this is going on at the jail. I hope John's not working today. And so the first person, a good friend of mine who texted me that I said, oh, where did you hear that? And he said, well, people are talking about it in the staff room at work. And so it was at that point that I said to my mother -in -law, we have to call my two sister -in -laws who also live in town. I said, they're teachers. I said, we have to call them. They can't find out that this is going on, you know, at school through word of mouth. So my mother -in -law called them. They came over and we all sat around the table. And then I finally got a call from the superintendent saying that John had been released and that he was taking him to the hospital to get checked out. So we went there, we waited, we met the ambulance. I've never known a relief like that in my life. And we were there for a couple of hours as they ran some tests and x -rays, but you know, he was lucky that there was just some bruising and, you know, a black eye. He was pretty sore just from, you know, they had him handcuffed and things like that. So, but no broken bones, you know, no open wounds, anything like that. So that we were probably back home by, I'm going to say 8 30. So all in all, it was about a seven and a half hour ordeal. And then, and then, and then life kept going on. Yikes. That's a lot. Yeah. It's, you know, if you're, you know, if you're a corrections spouse or in that corrections world, you know, that's sort of your worst case scenario, your worst fear of, you know, a riot or something like that happening, you know?

Weight Loss Drugs (MM #4620)
"The Mason Minute with Kevin Mason. A lot of talk on the news about drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy and Monjaro and Zepbound being these wonder weight loss drugs. And of course I've had a couple of people ask me if I'm thinking about taking a drug like that. I guess it's almost a slap in the face. It's kind of a reminder telling me, hey, you're fat by the way, which I know I'm fat. Luckily I'm comfortable in who I am. I'm not pleased with my body shape or my body size, but I'm comfortable. I like who I am. And I watch these drugs and well, number one, they're injectables. That means a needle. And I hate needles. The fact that I'm getting flu shots and COVID shots and all sorts of injections, including my allergy shots over the last few years, and I don't want to add any more. And number two, I'm still very nervous with side effects. I keep reading about all the side effects these drugs have and yes, they were maybe meant for other uses, but now being adapted for weight loss. I'd love the idea of losing 50, 100, 150 pounds, but then again, I'm worried about how my body would handle losing that much weight. Well, it sounds great in theory. I just can't imagine a quick fix for this.

"The Mason Minute with Kevin Mason. A lot of talk on the news about drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy and Monjaro and Zepbound being these wonder weight loss drugs. And of course I've had a couple of people ask me if I'm thinking about taking a drug like that. I guess it's almost a slap in the face. It's kind of a reminder telling me, hey, you're fat by the way, which I know I'm fat. Luckily I'm comfortable in who I am. I'm not pleased with my body shape or my body size, but I'm comfortable. I like who I am. And I watch these drugs and well, number one, they're injectables. That means a needle. And I hate needles. The fact that I'm getting flu shots and COVID shots and all sorts of injections, including my allergy shots over the last few years, and I don't want to add any more. And number two, I'm still very nervous with side effects. I keep reading about all the side effects these drugs have and yes, they were maybe meant for other uses, but now being adapted for weight loss. I'd love the idea of losing 50, 100, 150 pounds, but then again, I'm worried about how my body would handle losing that much weight. Well, it sounds great in theory. I just can't imagine a quick fix for this.

Evangelism on SermonAudio
A highlight from Communicating Christ to Others
"Let's open our Bibles tonight, we're gonna actually be in just a couple quick passages tonight, but let's begin this evening in the book of Mark chapter 16, Mark 16, we're gonna look at one of the Great Commission passages to begin with tonight. The title of tonight's message is, Communicating Christ to Others. Communicating Christ to Others. What do we mean by that? So we're gonna start out with something, a very familiar command to us by the Lord Jesus, so Mark 16 and verse 15. The Bible says here, And He said unto them, unto His disciples, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature, or literally to all creation. Wherever you go, go and preach the gospel, proclaim the gospel. And so this is definitely some very important instructions from our Lord, we refer to this as the Great Commission, and as a command for us to be His salt alights, to spread His message of truth, no matter where we go around the world. We've been talking on Wednesday nights, one of the blessings or assurances that Jesus gave His disciples and even to us, that we would do greater works than even He did, and not greater in like how many or even in the way that they're being done, but greater in the scope that was done. And so remember Jesus, the miracles that He performed was pretty much just to Israel, His teaching was to Israel, to the lost sheep of the house of Israel, but we see in the book of Acts, that message went really not in just Jerusalem and Judea, but also Samaria in the uttermost part of the world, much broader than it was during Christ's ministry itself. And so it's again, they didn't do a greater job than Jesus did, I mean, no one can do that, okay? But the scope of it was much greater. And so tonight we're going to be talking about really the application of that, and even as we look at missions today, here at Victory Baptist, I'm very proud that we support about 21 missionaries serving really around the world, representing human here in Minnesota and then abroad, and we rejoice in that. I'm really looking forward to this missions conference coming up in just a few weeks. Again, we have three speakers that will be with us, Brother Sam Slobodian, who we know well, reaching Ukrainians and Eastern Europeans, Russian speakers, predominantly, with the gospel, and looking forward to hearing an update from what's going on in his world, his ministry. And then we have another man, Andrew Counterman, who is a director over a ministry that helps church planters in Latin America, and God has been doing some good things through his ministry. I actually talked to him this week, and I found out that years ago, he actually used to be on the board of BIEM, which is the mission board of Sam Slobodian. So he and Sam Slobodian are good friends, haven't seen each other in a while, so they look forward to reconnecting at the conference. Small world, isn't it? And then we have David Bennett, with Silent Word Ministries International. I've known David for many years, and he ministers to the deaf around the world, and really kind of an interesting mission field. I think a lot of times we forget about the deaf communities around, and how much they do need to hear, literally, they need to hear Jesus, they need to hear about Jesus. How do deaf people hear? They actually hear with their eyes and they talk with their hands, okay? Pretty amazing. They still communicate. So very interesting, how do we share the gospel with the deaf around us? And we're gonna do a lot of application here tonight as well. So when we think about the Great Commission, to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature, although this command is simple, the task before us is great. In human terms, the Great Commission is daunting, but that God has promised us His presence and His power as we go forth in His name. In the world's population today, we have what, 7 .7 billion people, I believe, it's growing by the minute, right? And so there's a lot of people in this world, especially in the past 100 years, my word, the world's population has grown exceedingly. And so when we think of that, and we're supposed to go into all the world, preach the gospel to every creature, every person, wow, where do you start? Where do you begin? And I think that's kind of, when you look at it again from a human perspective, that seems overwhelming, but how do we do this? By looking at modern missions and when we kind of the traditional approach we take to missions, even here at Victory Baptist, there are a few challenges that must be considered. So I wanna do something tonight. About a year ago, we actually went over the philosophy of missions in the local church. We spent several weeks on why we do missions, why do we have, why is the local church involved? We talked about even the deputation process, is that even biblical support raising? Is that biblical? We talked about a little bit of the missions experience across the world and wherever they may be. We talked about all those things, but here's some, just a very quick recap of two things. First of all, what is missions? Let's talk about that. Missions is this, missions, this is kind of my definition in a way, but kind of modified from others, but missions is the responsibility and the task of the local church to take the gospel of Jesus Christ to the world for the purpose of discipleship, multiplication of self -supporting, self -governing and self -propagating churches for the glory of God, okay? So as we talk about works that are eventually self -supporting, self -governing, self -propagating church, in other words, they become kind of, they're not dependent on a foreign entity per se. They have their own independence, if you will. So that is, that's one of the goals of missions, but who is a missionary? Who is a missionary? There's a song that I remember singing when I was little, be a missionary every day. I don't be a missionary every day, tell the world that Jesus is the way. I don't know if you ever heard that song or not, but the fact of the matter is that song's not true. Not everyone is called to be a missionary as a vocational missionary. Everyone is called to be an ambassador for the Lord in that regard. You represent Jesus Christ no matter where you go, but here is, this is why. Why do we say, when we talk about missions and missionaries, who is a missionary? And this is a definition here, a missionary is one called by God to full -time service of Bible study and prayer and one who crosses cultural and or geographical boundaries to proclaim the gospel in areas where Jesus Christ is largely unknown, okay? Let me slow down a little bit and read that again because there's a lot in that. A missionary is one called by God to full -time service of Bible study and prayer and then one who crosses cultural and or geographical boundaries to proclaim the gospel in areas where Jesus Christ is largely unknown. So that's when we talk about missionaries and we support a missionary and we have, like you said, we have 21. That is generally their description, okay, in those parts, so very important, okay? But one thing that we're gonna talk about tonight is this. This is a practical way. We talked earlier about in modern missions, there are a few challenges that missionaries do face and it's one that often does not, it sometimes gets talked about but it is not really thought about. What do you mean? So it's, again, this is something that's talked about but not really thought about. What is one of these challenges? And one of the challenges that missionaries often face is that of language barriers. There's cultural barriers. I think we think about, when I was in Bible college, I was a missions major and so I remember going through one of our missions classes and our professor, he said that there is three Fs in the missionary experience. The first is fascination. When a missionary gets to the field, there's a fascination. It's kind of like honeymoon period, wow, you're kind of like the tourist, you know, you take pictures of everything, buy all the souvenirs, you know, you kind of get that fascination. The second part, though, after you're there for a while, you get, it becomes frustration because you figure out, wait a minute, you stick out like a sore thumb in that culture. You don't look like, talk like, act like the culture that you're in and sometimes they don't think the way you do or, you know, respond the way you're expecting. So there's a frustration in the culture. We never got to the fourth F, or the third F, excuse me, we never got to the third F, so I have no idea what comes after frustration. He left us hanging all these years, it's been 20 some years. I have no idea what we're supposed to end up. I would say, if anything, I think there is a sense of fulfillment that you are obedient to Christ, our faithfulness, that you're there sticking out as long as God keeps you in that area. But nonetheless, language barriers is very, it's a real barrier and it's actually more, and I'll kind of break it down a little bit here in just a moment here, but language barriers is actually a very serious barrier that missionaries must take, that they must cross. And so learning another language in another culture, preferably by immersion, is something that's very challenging that a lot of missionaries face and I think this is really where you find out who's going to stick it out in missions versus who's not going to stick it out. And I'll get to that, why is that, okay? So let me ask you this, how many of you took a foreign language, whether it be in high school, college, whether it be, several of you have, okay? I jokingly say, Linnea just started a Spanish class at co -op, but I jokingly say, the high school Spanish you have, by the time you get older, you're just good enough to order at Taco Bell, you know? So speaking, practically what do you do with that? And so if you've actually learned and studied another language, like actually seriously hit the books on it and to immerse yourself in that culture if you can, is very important. But here's some quick statistics. There are, how many languages are there in the world today? How many known languages? There are over, there's about, actually this is the report as of earlier this year, January 1st, 7 ,117 known languages spoken by people around the world, according to Ethnologue. Well over 7 ,000 languages represented around the world, that's a lot, okay? So here's the next question, I'm gonna ask you this, what do you think? Which language has the most native speakers, in other words, this is their first language, their birth languages if you will, which language has the most native speakers, what do you think? Chinese, yes, absolutely, 1 .27 billion people speak Chinese as their first language, English is third down the list, okay? So anyways, you think of this Mandarin or Cantonese, okay, that's very well spoken, okay? So how much of the world's population speaks English as a first or second language, what do you think? What percentage would you say of the world's population speaks English as a first or second language? What's that? I'd say you can learn to speak English and all that.
What Bitcoin Did
A highlight from Life Liberty & the Pursuit of Bitcoin with Robert Breedlove
"Bitcoin gets you to a world of more localism, so presumably you would have less proceeds to fund these bullshit false narratives, you'd have less of the systemic lying, less of the systemic stealing, and this would be just a more peaceful and prosperous world. Hello there from Texas, we've made it here to Dallas with my boy Danny, we're here for the Texas blockchain summit, a very exciting week of interviews ahead, some very cool ones booked in, cannot wait to get them out, get them out for you to hear them. Anyway, welcome to the What Bitcoin Did podcast, which is brought to you by the massive legends at Iris Energy, the largest NASDAQ listed Bitcoin miner using 100 % renewable energy. I'm your host Peter McCormack, and I've got Robert Breedlove on the show today. Now this was a very cool experience, we managed to get Breedlove down to Bedford, we got him down to the football club, we also got him out, we went for some drinks, went for some dinner, ate some steak. It's been very cool to see people now starting to make the pilgrimage to my little town, and hopefully we're going to see some of you there next year for our conference cheat code. Plans for that are going very well, I know hotel rooms are going quickly, so if you do want to come, you better go and check that out quick. You can find out more about the whole event at cheatcode .co .uk, but in this interview with Robert, we get into all the things we tend to get into, but I think we're a little bit less confrontational today. I think we've come to this kind of like realization is that we both come into the problem just through a different path, which is pretty cool because we start to agree on a bunch of things, so you know what we're going to talk about, tax, slavery, the role of government, the role of Bitcoin in all of this, everything we tend to talk about when I get Breedlove on the show. But I love this, I just wish we'd had longer, we didn't have a lot of time for this, we got about an hour in, and the first 10 minutes I lost because I forgot to press record, I didn't have Danny with me, so obviously I made a stupid mistake. But I do hope you enjoy this, if you've got any questions about this show or anything else, you know how to get in touch, it's hello at whatbitcoindid .com.

A highlight from MARKETS DAILY: Crypto Update | Rising Venture Capital Investment in Crypto
"This episode of Markets Daily is sponsored by CME Group and PayPal. It's Tuesday, November 14th, 2023, and this is Markets Daily from CoinDesk. My name is Noelle Acheson, CoinDesk collaborator and author of the Crypto as Macro Now newsletter on Substat. On today's show, we're talking about new inflows into the crypto ecosystem, inflation, and more. So you don't miss an episode, be sure to follow the podcast on your platform of choice and turn on notifications. And just a reminder, CoinDesk is a news source and does not provide investment advice. Now, a markets roundup. Crypto prices were heading down earlier today, but then we got some good news on the US inflation. I'll talk more about this in a moment. This has turned the mood around, with many assets clawing back some of the day's losses. According to CoinDesk indices, at 9 a .m. Eastern time today, Bitcoin was trading at $36 ,546, down almost 1 % over the past 24 hours, although up 1 .5 % over the past hour alone. Ether was trading down 0 .75 % over the past 24 hours at $2 ,043. Elsewhere, Cosmos, Filecoin, and the Lido DAO token were down 9%. Solana and Polkadot were down 3 .5%. Ripple's XRP token had an interesting day yesterday. A tweet reported that BlackRock had filed for an XRP trust in Delaware. This was taken as a sign that the asset manager was planning to file a proposal for a spot XRP ETF, and the asset jumped 12 % in just a few minutes. The news turned out to be fake, however. I mean, it's very, very unlikely BlackRock would file for an ETF based on asset that not only doesn't have a CME derivatives market, but is still in active securities litigation. Needless to say, the XRP price corrected sharply shortly after, with both moves triggering significant losses in derivatives positions. Earlier today, XRP was still up over the past 24 hours, but only around 1%. In macro indicators, the US inflation data for the month of October is in. And it came in soft, which is very good news. To recap, in September, the headline CP index increased by 3 .7%, and consensus estimates for October pointed to a 3 .3 % increase. That itself would have been good. But the number came in even softer, at 3 .2%. Even more relevant for the US Federal Reserve is the Core CPI index, since this strips out the volatile components of food and energy. In September, Core CPI jumped by 4 .1 % year on year, and expectations were for that rate of increase to hold steady in October. The actual figure came in at 4 .0%, the smallest increase since September 2021. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, shelter accounted for the bulk of the increase in the Core Inflation Index, but much less so than expected. And it seems lower energy prices are also doing their bit. On a monthly basis, Core CPI grew by 0 .2%, less than expected. This brings the three -month average monthly gain down to 0 .3%, lower than last year's average of 0 .5%. The average needs to come down further to give the Fed some breathing room, but it is progress. A US rate hike at the December FOMC meeting was unlikely anyway, given market tension, geopolitical fragility, and the likelihood of a government shutdown starting this weekend. This release now takes that totally off the table. As we head into record, US yields are heading down fast, with the 10 -year Treasury yield plummeting as investors were holding their breath for the inflation report. The good news in the figures has given the market a jolt of energy, with futures pointing to a very strong open. European indices were more positive yesterday, with the FTSE 100 up 0 .9%, the German DAX up 0 .6%, and the Euro Stoxx 600 up 0 .75%. The US figures are extending this trend for the DAX and the as investors digest the UK cabinet reshuffle. In Asia, stocks were cautiously positive today, with both Japan's Nikkei index and China's Shanghai Composite climbing 0 .3 % and the Hang Seng losing almost 0 .2%. In commodities, oil continues to head up, despite a report out this morning from the International Energy Agency that insists global oil markets won't be as tight as expected this quarter. The agency recognizes that demand is growing, as OPEC said yesterday, but non -OPEC supply apparently is growing even more. The market doesn't seem convinced yet, however, and the Brent crude benchmark is up 0 .4 on the day, trading at $83 .67 a barrel. After falling more than 1 % yesterday, gold today is benefiting from a drop in the $DXY index, as US yields digest the good inflation figures. Earlier today, gold was trading up over 0 .5 % at $1 ,956 per ounce. Stay with us. After the break, we're going to talk about new crypto investment.

Cryptocurrency for Beginners: with Crypto Casey
A highlight from Crypto Wallet How to Transfer Crypto from Exchange (Tangem Wallet 2.0 Review ) New Features!
"We are going to become our own bank, our own security system. We are going to 100 % own and have complete control over our digital assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Altcoins, and other cryptocurrencies and NFTs all in less than 90 seconds right now. This is the latest version of Tangent Wallet, a multi -currency, multi -chain cryptocurrency wallet that is the size of a credit card, the most affordable cold storage hardware wallet, and extremely easy to set up and use. Check it out. Opening the box here, we have the three cards with a new sleek matte black design. Next, installing the correct and official Tangent Mobile app on our phones and opening the app, tap Scan Card and touch one of the cards to your phone like so. Next, tap Create Wallet and tap the card to your phone again. Nice. Now that we have a wallet, let's create backups of it. Tap Backup Now and then tap Add a Backup Card and tap the second card to your phone. Cool. Now tap Add a Backup Card again and tap the third card to your phone. Then tap Finalize the Backup Process. And now we need to create an access code to secure the wallets. Tap Continue and then type in whatever word, phrase, numbers, or combination of text you want to use to access your wallet. Re -enter it to verify the access code and then scan the primary card ending in the corresponding numbers on the screen that matches that card, holding you up to your phone until the operation is complete. Then repeat this process for the two backup cards. Sweet! Now your Tangent wallet has been configured and is ready for use. Now we can continue to the wallet, check out the mobile app, learn how to use it safely and securely, and then move some crypto to it. Hello, I'm Crypto Casey and in this video we are going to go over the new features of Tangent's latest wallet and how we can transfer crypto off of exchanges to completely own and control it with this cold storage hardware wallet. Let's hit it! Here is Tangent's original wallet we fully reviewed together on the channel, which you can check out by clicking on the link above. And this is their latest sleek matte black design with some interesting new features. Side by side, both cards are the same shape and size, however the new one is more sturdy with some nice weight to it. Tangent compiled a list of the most requested features by users and implemented them in their new Tangent wallet card. One of the main differences being three different options for private key generation versus only one. So in addition to using the certified true random number generator, TRNG, which generates and stores the keys inside the card's chips, where neither Tangent nor anyone else can see what it is and no copies exist in space and time outside of the Tangent wallet cards. Now with the new wallet cards, we have the option of generating a seed phrase with the Tangent mobile app and importing it to the cards, and also the option of importing an existing seed phrase from another wallet. Cool stuff. So it's important to note that if we create the wallet without the seed phrase option, generating a seed phrase will not be possible later. So we need to carefully consider the pros and cons of each option and decide which one we are most comfortable with long term. Tangent creates a seed phrase through their app on your phone, a hot device connected to the internet, which is not ideal if your phone has malware on it has been compromised or similar. So if we do decide to create a seed phrase for our Tangent wallet, or if we decide to import a seed phrase from an existing wallet, consider disconnecting from any Wi -Fi networks and switching your phone into airplane mode to make sure the process is more secure. Do not take a screenshot of the seed phrase. Instead, write it down on a few pieces of paper to store securely in different locations in case of something like a fire, flood or similar, and then get something more durable than paper immediately for the long term. There are some great offline options for storing the private keys like the crypto steel capsule solo offered by Ledger. This is a solid steel capsule to protect your seed phrase designed to resist extreme conditions. And the BILFODL also is offered by Ledger. BILFODL is a solid steel case to store and protect your seed phrase designed to resist fire, water and more. With cold wallets like Ledger and Trezor devices, the creation of the 12 or 24 word seed phrase is done offline, which is more ideal and secure. However, vulnerabilities and security risks are still present because, as we've discussed in several videos on the channel, if anyone has access to your seed phrase, like if they came across them written on a piece of paper or had access to a Ledger crypto steel capsule or BILFODL with the seed phrase, or if you stored it on a device that can be hacked like your computer, cell phone, or if a scammer tricks you by pretending to be Ledger, Trezor or similar, sending you a fake email or directing you to a fake site and instruct you to give them your seed phrase by lying and saying your funds need to be recovered or something like that, then all the funds on your wallet will be gone. So seed phrases are designed to help us with self custody and to manage our cryptocurrencies and digital assets more easily and restore any lost access to our funds. However, like we just discussed, there are risks. And even if you decided to try and remember it by heart or mix up some of the words, if you unfortunately suffered a brain injury, memory lapse or similar, that's also a risk of completely losing access to your funds. So think about this. Cryptocurrency private keys are generated by elaborate mathematical algorithms where data is encrypted many, many times using a huge amount of computing power. And then the most important key is then just converted into a 12 word seed phrase that can be used by anyone anywhere at any time to steal everything. Right. Important things to consider. So do your own research and never put your eggs or crypto all in one basket or even several of the same types of baskets. Diversification in investments is just as important as diversification of the same type of assets, like spreading cash into several different banks and spreading crypto across different types of wallets. Diversify some digital assets into seed phrase based cold storage hardware wallets like Ledger and Trezor and also diversify some digital assets in different technologically based wallets like BC Vault or Tangent Wallet. With Tangent Wallet, instead of a seed phrase as the only way to backup our cryptocurrency, backup copies of the wallet are created and used on the other Tangent Wallet cards. So let's say we have our Tangent Wallet card and two backup cards. We can store them in different geographical locations in case we need to restore access to our digital assets. And if anyone happens to come across the card or steals the card and even downloads the Tangent Wallet app and tries to access our funds, an additional security layer is necessary, which is where we encrypt our wallets with an access code by creating our unique series of numbers or letters or similar to a PIN code or passphrase. And to protect the wallet from brute force attacks, after each wrong password attempt, an increasing amount of time delay between each attempt is executed. So our crypto remains secure. Amazing. The other new features we will explore apply to both the first and latest versions of the Tangent cards as updates to the Tangent Mobile Wallet app and overall user experience. This includes a new dark mode where we can navigate through the mobile app comfortably in low light environments. So it's easier on the eyes when using it at night or in the dark. It also looks a lot cooler as you can see here on some screenshots. With the new update, we can now sort and group our cryptocurrencies and tokens however we want, whether it be by balance, by blockchain network, like cryptocurrencies on the Ethereum network versus Polygon or similar, or manually in whatever order we prefer to see them. Tangent added an extra layer of protection with an option to hide our balances when the app is open to keep our crypto holdings more discreet without us having to sacrifice convenience if others are close by and can see our phone screen. And they also added an option to turn off access code recovery, which increases security. We can now monitor price changes over the past 24 hours of all of our assets directly in the app to help us make informed decisions during crazy dynamic markets. There is rapid access to buying, selling or hiding a token by tapping and holding it on the home screen. Bitcoin and Ethereum transaction histories also display directly in the app without us having to check third parties like Block Explorer, Etherscan or similar. And Tangent is working on adding more blockchain networks in future updates. Tangent now offers 24x7x365 support so they can answer any questions we may have or guide us on how to properly do crypto transactions with Tangent Wallet no matter what time it is or what time zone we are in, which is huge for beginners just getting in the space. More features are on the horizon like a market data feature directly inside the app, an address book, cross -chain swaps, staking and more support for more blockchains. Brilliant. Now let's transfer some cryptocurrencies off of exchanges to our Tangent Wallet together so we can get more comfortable with the process as well as transfer some back to the exchange to practice for our profit -taking strategy in the next bull run, which you can learn more about in this video guide by clicking on the link above. And after that, we will learn how to connect our Tangent Wallets to Web3 applications like Morales Money, a platform for finding undervalued altcoins before they pump in the next bull cycle. So stay tuned to the very end to learn more about becoming your own bank with complete control and ownership over your digital asset investments simply and easily with Tangent Wallet and a very important free tool we can use when interfacing with Web3 to further protect our funds. Nice. Let's move some Bitcoin we have on our Coinbase account off of the exchange together to hold in our very own cold storage hardware wallet, Tangent Wallet. Open the Tangent app, tap scan card, scan the card, and enter the access code. Scan the card again. And from here on the dashboard, press and hold Bitcoin, then tap copy address. Next, open the Coinbase exchange app, tap the send button, tap Bitcoin, paste the Tangent Bitcoin wallet address into the to field, and tap continue. Enter the amount of Bitcoin we want to send. I always recommend sending a small amount as a test first to make sure everything is good to go. So in this case, we are sending $100 worth of Bitcoin. Tap preview, make sure everything looks good, then tap send now, and it's on its way. In a few minutes or so, when we open our Tangent Wallet app, we will see the $100 worth of Bitcoin that we now completely own and control. Repeat the same process for any other type of cryptocurrency by copying the corresponding address on Tangent Wallet, also making sure we select the right network. Like for example, with Tether, there are many other available networks like Ethereum versus BNB Smart Chain versus Solana and more. And then repeat the same similar process on any other exchange we may have crypto on by using the send function, pasting the address in the recipient field, and checking to make sure everything looks good before sending. The process is actually much easier and simpler than most people think that are new to crypto. And it's a lot like riding a bike. I can try to explain how to ride a bike to you, show you how to ride a bike, and you can read about riding a bike. However, at the end of the day, you need to get on the bike and ride it for yourself to learn. So start practicing transferring to and from different exchanges and wallets to prepare for the next face -melting bull cycle so you can take profits and potentially change your life with some nice gains. And if you want to explore a simple tool any of us can reference to increase the probability of us making gains by buying and selling altcoins at the right time, check out this video guide all about the Morales Moneyline charting tool by clicking on the link above. Great. Now let's transfer crypto from our Tangent Wallet back to Coinbase exchange to practice for when we want to lock in profits by converting it to fiat and transferring it to our bank accounts. Note that you can take profit in stablecoins directly on the Tangent Wallet app without transferring it by tapping on the token, tapping exchange, entering the amount, and tapping swap. There's also an option to sell for fiat using moon pay if we tap sell. However, you will have to set up an account with them which is a good idea so we have multiple options to trade and sell crypto when the market is hot as some exchanges get overwhelmed, freeze transactions, prevent withdrawals, etc. So open the Coinbase exchange app, tap receive, select the crypto, for example Ethereum on the Ethereum network, tap copy, then open the Tangent Wallet app. On the dashboard, tap and hold Ethereum, then tap send. Paste the Ethereum network wallet address from Coinbase in the address field. Select the amount of Ether to send, which as usual start with a small amount to test first to make sure it works, then tap send. After a few minutes or so, depending on how busy the network or exchange are, it will show up on the exchange and from there you can sell it for your country's currency and then transfer it to your bank account. Amazing. Now let's connect our Tangent Wallet to a Web3 application so we can start using decentralized platforms like Morales Money. But first it's extremely important to make sure we are accessing the correct and official sites as well as understanding exactly what is going to happen when we sign transactions to avoid losing all of our funds from a scammer or hacker using a free browser extension called WalletGuard. I've been using it over the past year and it's been working great, popping up warnings, helping check everything out before transacting, so it's definitely worth checking out and giving it a go whether we are new or experienced in the space. For example, if we start interacting with smart contracts like for minting NFTs, when accessing the site, WalletGuard's phishing protection layer executes and warns you if the website might be harmful, if it was created recently, and if it has a low trust score and if we do proceed to do so with caution. And when we do, before attempting to verify a transaction with our wallet, a second layer of protection is executed with a clear human readable warning about what exactly will happen if you decide to proceed with a transaction, like if it's going to drain your wallet instead of actually mint an NFT. This feature alone would have saved me from losing over $20 ,000 when minting an NFT on a fake lookalike website back in the last bull cycle. Absolutely insane. It can also detect and will notify you if the site is making multiple attempts to interact with your wallet, trying to hack and steal funds. So, WalletGuard is a must have as a crypto investor, so make sure to scroll down and use the link below to access the correct and official site to download WalletGuard's free extension to protect your wallet and crypto assets today. Seriously, it takes like 10 seconds and if you'd like to see a video guide all about how it works, click on the link above. Nice. Now that we've got an added layer of protection to keep our wallets and funds more secure when interacting with Web3 apps, let's learn how to connect our Tangem wallet to a Web3 app called Morales Money. Make sure to use the link in the description area below to access the correct and official site, as well as redeem any special offers they have for us. Before connecting, open the Tangem app, tap Manage Tokens at the bottom, tap BNB and make sure the BNB Beacon Chain and BNB Smart Chain options are enabled. That way the connection to Morales Money platform goes more smoothly. Using the link below, when we arrive at the site, we can see a screen full of crypto bubbles that show us which altcoins are up versus down in the latest price action. And in the top right hand corner, click on the Sign Up Login button, then click Login via Wallet. Here we can see a secure login screen where we can click Connect, then click on the option called Wallet Connect here, and then we will see this QR code. Next, open the Tangem wallet app, tap on the three dots in the top right hand corner of the screen, then tap Wallet Connect, tap the Add icon in the top right hand corner, then hold your phone facing the QR code on the Morales Money screen. On the Tangem app, you will see a message, tap Start, and next on the Morales Money screen, we just need to click the Verify button. Then on the Tangem wallet app, on the message that pops up, tap Sign. Enter your access code, tap the Tangem card to your phone, and on the Morales Money screen, enter your email address, and now you're connected to the Morales Money Web3 app. This is a platform with a lot of different functionalities that helps us with finding new altcoins, trading them, and much much more, which you can learn all about in this video walkthrough by clicking on the link above. Just to give you an overview of what we can do with our Tangem wallets connected to Morales Money, we can check out our wallet balances by clicking on this profile picture in the top right hand corner and then clicking My Wallet. And here we can view all of our tokens, and under the NFT tab, we can also view any NFTs on our wallets. Nice. And on the navigation menu at the top of the screen, if we click Swap, then click on the dropdown that says Trading Account, we can click Main Account, which opens up our wallet. And if we click Swap, we can select a token to sell from our wallet to buy another token on the Ethereum, Binance, or Polygon blockchain networks. All straight on the blockchain without having to transfer tokens to and from centralized exchanges. Very neat. On Morales Money, we can also go to the Explore Coins option and choose a predetermined filter like Top Recently Minted Coins with Experienced Buyers. And if one of the tokens seems interesting and you want to gamble on some, click on it. And on the right here, we can instantly swap tokens in our wallet to the new token directly on chain.

The Hugh Hewitt Show: Highly Concentrated
A highlight from David Brooks on How To Know A Person
"Turbulent times call for clear -headed insight that's hard to come by these days, especially on TV. That's where we come in. Salem News Channel has the greatest collection of conservative minds all in one place. People you know and trust, like Dennis Prager, Eric Metaxas, Charlie Kirk, and more. Unfiltered, unapologetic truth. Find what you're searching for at snc .tv and on Local Now Channel 525. Welcome to today's podcast, sponsored by Hillsdale College. All things Hillsdale at hillsdale .edu. I encourage you to take advantage of the many free online courses there, and of course, to listen to the Hillsdale Dialogues. All of them at hillsdale .com or just Google Apple, iTunes, and Hillsdale. Welcome back, America. I'm Hugh Hewitt. Inside the Beltway this morning, I'm so glad you joined me. I want to talk with you about this book. David Brooks's brand new How to Know a Person, The Art of Seeing Others Deeply and Being Deeply Seen. David joins me now. Hello, David. How are you? It's good to be with you again. It's good to talk to you. David, I'm used to getting books, and I got yours for free. They get sent to me. I want to tell you I'm going to buy six copies of How to Know a Person, three for my children and their spouses, and three for friends who are no longer friends that I want them to read. I wonder if you've had other people tell you that they're going to be buying your book to give to other people. Yeah, thank you for being generous on Twitter about the book. I appreciate it. Yeah, no, I've had people buy it for all their employees. I've had people buy it for the families. I haven't heard about buying it for ex -friends, but it's a good strategy. It is. We just live in these brutalizing times. It is. And my book is supposed to be a missile directed right at that. It's about the precise skills of how do you get to know someone, how do you make them feel respected, seen, heard. How do you make them feel respected, seen, and heard? I know why my friends are not my friends anymore. It's because of Donald Trump. They thought me insufficiently outraged about Donald Trump, and I can't bridge that gap, right? I can't be other than what I am, which is I voted for him twice, and if he's the nominee, I'll vote for him again. But they don't understand it, and I don't know that they're trying to understand. I don't understand them either, but I think How to Know a Person has assisted me. So, congratulations. Let me also tell you, I told our mutual friend Bob Barnett that I was telling people about your book in Miami as I prepared for the debate, because my wife and I talked about one statistic in particular, one paragraph actually, on page 98. Thirty -six percent of Americans reported they felt lonely frequently or almost all of the time, including 61 percent of young adults, 51 percent of young mothers. The percentage of Americans who said they have no close friends quadrupled between 1990 and 2020. 54 percent of Americans reported that no one knows them well. That is an extraordinary raft of terrible news, David. Yeah, and I found it's hard to build a healthy democracy on top of a rotting society, and so when this people are filled with loneliness and sadness, it turns into meanness, because if you feel yourself unseen, invisible, there's nothing crueler than feeling that people think you don't exist, and you get angry, and you lash out, and we have these school shootings. We have bitter politics. We've got the brutality of what's happening on college campuses right now, where Jewish students are being blockaded out of classrooms or have the recipients of genocidal how to build a friendship, how to make people feel that you're included, and these are basic social skills like the kind you could be taught at like learning carpentry or tennis or something like that. It's how do you listen well, how do you disagree well, how do you sit with someone who's got depression, how do you sit with someone who's contemplating suicide, how do you sit with someone who disagrees with you fundamentally on issues, and I just try to walk through the basic skills, and in my view, there in any group of people, there are two sorts. There's diminishers, the people who stereotype ignore, they don't ask you questions, they just don't care about you, and then there's another sort of person who are illuminators, and they are curious about you, they respect you, they want to know your life story, and they make you feel lit up and heard, and my goal in writing the book was partly social, because we need these skills to be a decent society, and partly personal. I just want to be better at being an illuminator. I think it comes through in the book. I listened to your interview with Katie Couric and her colleague, who I don't know, and they were trying to get at a question a couple of times, I'm gonna try and land that plane. Why did David Brooks write this book? Well, I'll give you the personal reason. You know, some people, if anybody watched Fiddler on the Roof, you know how warm and huggy Jewish families can be. I grew up in the other kind of Jewish family, and our culture was think Yiddish, act British, so we had love in the home. We just didn't express it. We were not a huggy family. We were all cerebral up here, and then when I was 18, the admissions officers at Columbia, Wesleyan, and Brown decided to actually go to the University of Chicago, which was also a super cerebral place. My favorite thing about Chicago, it's a Baptist school where atheist professors teach Jewish students St. Thomas Aquinas, and so I went into the world of journalism where we just Frederick Buechner once put it, if you cut yourself off from true connection with others, you may save yourself a little pain because you won't be betrayed, but you're cutting yourself off from the holy sources of life itself, and so I just wanted to be better at being intimate with other people. I've heard you now three times, read in your book, heard you tell it to Katie, and heard you tell it to me, the anecdote about the University of Chicago, the anecdote about Yiddish and British, but what is new is you brought up Buechner, and I've never read Buechner. I now know his backstory, which is so tragic. You include it in the book. I did not know he had a tragic backstory that illumines his character for me, and maybe I will go and read it, but you're in interview mode. How many different book interviews have you done? Uh, probably 20 or more. I don't know a lot. You're definitely, I know what that's like, where you want to get through an interview, and you want to make sure that people, you land the point, and I want to get a little bit deeper than that. I want to find out if you're with your self -examination. There's been a David Brooks self -examination underway for a long time, but you have not yet written your book about God. Are you going to go there? Yeah, well, at the end of The Second Mountain, I wrote a book about my spiritual journey, and how I grew up, my phrase was religiously bisexual, so I grew up in a Jewish home, but I went to a church school, and I went to a church camp, so I had the story of Jesus in my God. And then when I was 50 or so, reality seemed porous to me. It seemed like we're not just a bunch of physical molecules. You know, I once, I was in subway in New York City in God's ugliest spot on the face of the earth, and I look around the subway car, and I see all these people, and I decide all these people have souls. There's some piece of them that has no size, weight, color, or shape, but gives them infinite value and dignity, and their souls could be soaring, their souls could be hurting, but all of us have them. And once you have the concept of the soul in your head, it doesn't take long before the concept of God is in your head. And so I went off, especially about 10 years ago, and it's still going on a spiritual journey of just trying to figure out what do I believe? And I learned when you're on a journey like that, Christians give you books, and so I got like 700 books sent to me, only 350 of which were different copies of Christianity by C .S. Lewis. And so that was my journey. And it didn't, it was very slow and gradual. There were some dramatic moments, but not a lot. But I realized, oh, I'm not an atheist anymore, and my heart has opened up to something. And I think this book is the extension of that. When your heart opens up to God, and if every person you meet, you think this person was made in the image of God, I'm looking at somebody so important, Jesus was willing to die for that person, then I've got to show them the respect that God would show them. I've got to try to see them with the eyes that Jesus would see them with. And that's a super high standard that I'm not going to meet, but it's a goal. And Jesus says, even in brutal, tough times, He sees people, He sees the poor. And the main thing He does is Jesus is always asking questions. Somebody asks Him a question, He asks them a question back. And that act of questioning, what you do for a living, that's a show of respect. And that's the doorway to seeing someone. And so to me, I think questions are a moral act that we're phenomenal at when we're kids. And then we get a little worse at it. And I come sometimes leave a party and think that whole time nobody asked me a question. And I've come to think like only 30 % of the people in the world are question askers. And so part of the thing I do in the book is just try to say, here are some generous things to do to ask people questions. It is a, that is the key takeaway, how to ask questions. And this is a skill set. I sent a note this morning to my friend, Jan Janur, who has been running a Christian ministry for 30 years called The Wild Adventure. He wrote a book called Turning Small Talk into Big Talk. And I was reminded of it. Yours is a longer, more complicated examination of the art of asking questions and why you want to do so. It's also, it reminded me a lot of C .S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory. You have never met an ordinary human being. Everyone is an eternal horror, an everlasting splendor, and you believe that and you get to it. And I want to talk about how one gets there, but I want to begin, interestingly enough, with a comment Katie Couric made you. And I listened to that yesterday. I'd finished your book last week and I made my notes last night. And then I listened to Katie Couric interview. She spontaneously brought up her interview with Sarah Palin. Why do you think she did that, David? I like Katie a lot. And she's been a guest on my show. I loved her memoir, at least the first two thirds of it, which was about her younger life, which I thought was fascinating. Why do you think she brought up the Sarah Palin interview? I was also struck by that because I don't think she talks about it enough. I know Katie from various things and I don't think she talks about it all that much. I think it was a time when she was asking questions and somebody just wasn't answering. It was a time when she was having a miscommunication. I imagine that's why she wrote up. Do you have another theory? I do. I think it's because she's been misunderstood because of that question and that she wants people who only know Katie Couric because of that question to know that that's not Katie Couric. And that, to me, it was it made perfect sense she used to be known. And that's the central theme of this. People want to be seen. They want to be known. And if you are known for the wrong thing, in this case, the Katie Couric Sarah Palin interview, you want to you want to get that off your cargo ship, right? You want that unloaded. And I thought, wow, you really the book worked on her. Let me tell you also, on page 134, you talk about face experiments with infants. I want them outlawed. David, what did you think when you read it? I think those are cruel and awful. Tell people about them. Yeah, so babies come out of the womb wanting to be seen. Baby's eyes, they see everything 18 inches away in sharpness. Everything else is kind of blurry because they want to see mom's face. And these experiments that you referred to are called still face experiments. The babies send a bid for attention. And the moms are instructed, don't respond, just be still face. And in the beginning, the babies are uncomfortable. And then after a few seconds, they start writhing around. And five within seconds, they're in total agony, because nobody is seeing them. And I really don't think that's that much different as adults. I think when we're unseen, it is just total agony. We're rendered invisible. And that's what I encounter in my daily life as a reporter. I used to go to the Midwest. I live on the East Coast, but I spent a lot of time in the Midwest. And maybe 10, 15 years ago, once a day, somebody would say, you guys think we're flyover country. In the last five years, I hear that like 10 times a day. And so a lot of just people feel they're invisible. And frankly, that's a little on my profession, the media. When I started as a police reporter in Chicago, we had working class folks in the newsroom. Our reporters, they hadn't gone to college. They were just regular people from Chicago, and they covered crime alongside me. Now, if you go to newsrooms, especially in New York, DC, LA, San Francisco, it's not only everybody went to college, everyone went to the same like 15 elite colleges, and a lot of the same prep schools. So if you're not in this little group, and you look at the national media, and you don't see yourself, it's as if they're telling you your voice doesn't matter. You don't exist. And that's a form of dehumanization that we've allowed to fester in this country. And of course, people are going to lash out. Yeah, I just spent two weeks with really wonderful professionals at NBC preparing for this debate. And at one point, I asked one of my colleagues in this exercise, I don't work for NBC, how many people do you think in this room voted for Trump? And taken aback, they did not answer because the answer is obvious. Nobody. And if if your newsroom is full of 100 % people not only didn't vote for Trump, but actually loathe them, you can't cover the country. It's impossible because you're not seeing the other 50%. And what your book is, I hope the newsroom is distributed as well. We are all about seeing people who have long been marginalized, and that is important. But if you don't see people who are supporting Donald Trump, for whatever reason, you can't cover the news. Let me ask you about this Philip Lewis fellow. I love him, because he finally gave me the courage to teach the do the Dormant Commerce Clause in the 11th Amendment with the confidence that even though my students are terribly bored, they have to know this. Where did you meet Philip Lewis? Because he's talking to teachers. Teachers need to read this book too, if only to be comforted in the fact that every teacher has this experience.

"And therefore, because of that, he could not then from that standpoint that he was a 100% God. So yeah, you take that from the equation, then yes, he could say like any of us. But from the aspect of being the savior of the world and being the propitiation for RCM and taking some upon him on the cross, I think from that perspective, I don't think he could have said. Well, let me just explain it like this. I mean, even if a person would say that he's a 100% God, a 100% man, that's still doesn't mean that he could not see him. Because he was in the flesh, subject to the flesh, according to the scripture. And so he had to pray, didn't he? Yeah. I mean, of course. If his God nature was, I guess, as prevalent as the gentleman tried to assume it was, then he was never subject to the flesh, and therefore he never had to pray, he never was hungry. He never could have seen. He never could have done anything. He was pretty much a fairytale. Of experiences that he never endured. He never had to be baptized. He never had to do anything. You know, so I think that even if the priest preposition presupposition is that he was a 100% man 100% God, you have to at least admit in the flesh. He was subject to the flesh. Meaning that he wasn't like, for instance, he made mention in the Bible that he don't know the day of the time in which the son of man will come. That's what you said. He said only the father in heaven knows that. So you would have to argue that he didn't have access to the godliness of knowledge in that perspective, even when he was on earth. So there were certain things that he was in the flesh and subject to the flesh on. And I think that sin was a part of that. Now the nature in him, I think guided him to a position where he would not succumb to sin. Meaning that he could be tempted, but a man of God, like you and I, we could be tempted, but that does not mean that we have to send. We can overcome the sin like Christ did. He was an example. And I think I think a person can argue that in prophecy that he couldn't have seen because it was prophesied that he would not. It was prophesied that he would be the perfect sacrifice. So you could say in that sense that it was since it was prophesied that he couldn't, but I think that I don't think that Jesus was walking around thinking he could not see him.

"You navigate any new transition or initiative. I'm your host trinity wind from usa gems in today's episode. Kevin morass go. The chief. Marketing officer at benefits shares his thoughts and cautionary advice for companies trying to cross the chasm into a new stage of technology adoption. For example if your companies trying to cross from early adopters markets too early majority markets and so on kevin has helped many companies crossing various chasms from being an early stage startup through mergers and acquisitions and ipo. So you definitely don't want to miss this episode and if you want more check out the full interview we did with kevin that we released last week enjoy when it were a different companies. I compared to the kevin bogan. It's exactly like that. And it feels. Like i think one of the bbc's twitter mentioned that there's a certain series when you transitioned from b to c. It's usually a lot harder from c. To as usually bit more smooth riding and then that repeats again. I think like in like in for like that. I love the crossing the chasm concept book. And i think it's one of the most timeless and best business honestly to comply to like every area of the business literally like every function in. It's so often overlooked this honestly like one of the first boats. I recommend to two founders early stage. Ceo's especially but i think it applies to companies at every stage because it's a journey right like product market fit less product market fit but more product market go to market fit. Because think about it. The market is fluid and changing twenty years ago. What did we buy online. Not a lot right like okay. Maybe just a couple of days but twenty years ago you would have said. Hey you know what people are gonna be buying groceries online. You'd say that's crazy to buy groceries or harz. Oh yeah we buy all that online in the point is like the market changed so you have to consider the market fluid course kosher products fluid so those things are changing which means your ideal. Customer profile is changing and evolving. Your market segments are changing. And then how you reach them how you go to market is changing more buyers buyers are wanting to buy everything online self service especially in post pandemic world.

"You navigate any new transition or initiative. I'm your host trinity wind from usa gems in today's episode. Kevin morass go. The chief. Marketing officer at benefits shares his thoughts and cautionary advice for companies trying to cross the chasm into a new stage of technology adoption. For example if your companies trying to cross from early adopters markets too early majority markets and so on kevin has helped many companies crossing various chasms from being an early stage startup through mergers and acquisitions and ipo. So you definitely don't want to miss this episode and if you want more check out the full interview we did with kevin that we released last week enjoy when it were a different companies. I compared to the kevin bogan. It's exactly like that. And it feels. Like i think one of the bbc's twitter mentioned that there's a certain series when you transitioned from b to c. It's usually a lot harder from c. To as usually bit more smooth riding and then that repeats again. I think like in like in for like that. I love the crossing the chasm concept book. And i think it's one of the most timeless and best business honestly to comply to like every area of the business literally like every function in. It's so often overlooked this honestly like one of the first boats. I recommend to two founders early stage. Ceo's especially but i think it applies to companies at every stage because it's a journey right like product market fit less product market fit but more product market go to market fit. Because think about it. The market is fluid and changing twenty years ago. What did we buy online. Not a lot right like okay. Maybe just a couple of days but twenty years ago you would have said. Hey you know what people are gonna be buying groceries online. You'd say that's crazy to buy groceries or harz. Oh yeah we buy all that online in the point is like the market changed so you have to consider the market fluid course kosher products fluid so those things are changing which means your ideal. Customer profile is changing and evolving. Your market segments are changing. And then how you reach them how you go to market is changing more buyers buyers are wanting to buy everything online self service especially in post pandemic world.

"Of home to travel and live abroad. Not only did they experience. Help them grow personally. Will your how they apply learnings into the professional lives. Are i guess. Is derek wing senior account executive at us a gems born and raised in austin texas is now living in san francisco. Derek's traveled to seventy one countries and has lived in three. One of them is columbia which he fell in love with during backpacking trip to south. America check it out. You applied for jobs in colombian million. What was it like man. Starting a new life new job new industry completely. It was exciting first and foremost Scary i had idea what to expect. Might i roll was was an outbound. The are also just straight up. Cold calling something i had never done for. And like being thrown in the defendant being told to call eight hundred numbers. Day was definitely not something anything in college or education prepared me for but it was exciting. It was great to be part of a fast growing company. Have a team of young people who are hungry and ready to around me so it was really fine. So what would be your three tips for someone who's thinking of doing the same thing either traveling or even moving to a new country starting a new job there for those of you who are considering getting out traveling by had to narrow it down three tips tip number one would have toilet paper anywhere in everywhere you go. Especially if you're a us citizen or or someone who's used to just having Available just have that on at. If the money's there go triple by secondly i would say put away the phone or the way. The technology is actually when you're out seeing new things. Phone can just distract so much from the experiences. You're having in the president. Just snap a quick picture. Tuck it away then. Show those others later to instagram. With africa southern mafia family. And third point i would say is this one might be a little cheesy but if travelling intrigues. You just go out there and do it. There's never a perfect time to travel. And you definitely don't want to look back on your life with any regrets about the things that you wish you did. And so that's something. I'm really young still. But i've learned at a young age when my father passed away that life is really short and fragile and you never know when these opportunities are gonna come again so get out there earlier rather than later so if we go back to the side of things so what would you say are some of the learnings from the living abroad. Travelling applaud experience that transferrable into your role now in sales. I would say anyone who's working sales knows you're basically always outside of their comfort zone so traveling alone already helps pull you out of your own bubble especially so traveling. You're forced major decisions. Decide what you wanna do with your time where you wanna go what you wanna see and in order to stay saying you need to make your own. Social interactions happen. So that means getting out there creating a new network around you wherever you are meeting people who don't win building relationships out of thin air and and that's a huge part of what sales is in another point i would say for people who haven't traveled is when you get out in start to see new things. It's going to spark a a natural curiosity. The more you see china the more you want to know in the more questions that come up and so curiosity has been not just such a big leading factor out of any success icy for myself or for my always within sales people who are just naturally wind to ask questions or more about what. Your prospects loyal customers are doing what they're looking for. What their challenges are. You're just going to naturally be able to help them along their journey and laid the more you help them the more you buy value more likely they are to work you.

Bugs charity is a veteran of the consulting industry and she understands the difficulty of gaining new clients. But what's what's secret sauce being your authentic self and not afraid of cold prospecting have listen. This hope consulting world really cool. You mentioned that one of the greatest difficulties was at the same time that you have to execute you also have to to do some business development and get some clients and hopefully land a client. That's that's quite large With the duration of the contract as long enough to keep you entertained in happy so that you don't have to hunt right. What advice would you have to someone. Who's in a similar boat was thinking about that. And that's one of their. Maybe i guess the biggest thing is how do i get clients so any any advice to the audience some on the maybe the hardest art about consulting so there are these consultant networks and if you become a part of the network and you are able to specify of company the functionary that you likely working probably certain audience that you like air into more than the out and they do the be for you and they make these opportunities consulting gigs available and then you can apply and they do the matching for you and then if it works out at tell you have your next opportunity so i did about a gun. Remember exactly now is probably do betwee containing projects that way by being barred of these networks. One of my favorite stories from my consulting experience has been that. don't give up on cold calling. It actually works. And i was completely surprised and shocked by when it worked for me and i couldn't believe and that's why to this day. It's one of my favorite stories to. I met someone at a product marketing conference or rather on stage. The said that so and so from this company is has all these job. Openings andering copy lower you know go and say hi and check with that person so when gawk our came about as you can imagine there were four rings of people that were swarming this person right and Before you know it. The person's already latch so did have a look at the jobs. And i said all the all four of food i'm employee positions. What can i do here and just out of a whim. I send linked in and i said hit. I love what you said on stage. I loved her talk. I gotta get a hold of you dance by. You're just totally surrounded. And i know your jobs are for jobs. I cannot apply to any of them. Because i'm conducting an consulting for these reasons however if you need head in any of these areas i'm more than happy to have a jack and response and i had a meeting and it just went from there so always quit for the person who gave me a chance and do the the fact that you know. He responded and he was just so open minded about it. And i think the takeaway from there is do. Just be yourself. just be authentic. You know. I literally wrote the lincoln message as though it was a conversation like you. Nra speaking and that is what it was. Hey here are the facts. But i would. I would love to if you have something. I would love to chat in if you don't have something right now but something down the road if we could just don't form a connection if not and you have any before that will be great but if you don't even have that that's totally fine so just plain speak only genuine and sincere and going to work every single dime right because people have different circumstances as well that didn't work within the parameters within their own jobs and companies but i feel that it it.

"Hi everyone. I'm trinity new in west user gems and today on keeping at one hundred with gabrielle south development manager at gong for this episode. We did a lightning round of tips. How to break into sales specifically technology sales and how to find the right company where you can bring your whole self to work. Let's dive in one of the biggest challenges that i'm seeing right now for folks who are trying to break into sales like an sdr role for the first time especially if they've had no prior tech sales experience what i see them. Struggle with is thinking that they have to have tech sales experience in order to get into tech sales. If that was the case none of us would be here right now. So what. I share with folks in terms of the things that they can do regardless of their experience is what are your redeeming qualities. Let's just start off with that. What are the things that regardless of the activity that you're being asked to do that. You would do really well so for me. I recognize like. Wow i don't have experienced Very fast learner or hey. I don't necessarily know what this means. But i can figure it out incredibly resourceful or hey. I don't necessarily know about the tech space hall but well networked in. I can ask people questions. And i can figure things out really like think through. What are your redeeming qualities that even though this is something that's completely new. These are the qualities that will help you to bridge. Whatever gap might be perceived in the second piece says be very intentional. Be proactive in the interview. Experience in sharing that with the hiring managers. Call it out before they have a chance to use set the narrative. And so i think the big key here is you have to be the person to set the narrative from the very very get go. 'cause that's really all your work with right if you don't have the experience that's what managers are looking for on. Might i only have so much capital. That i can invest in my people at wanna make sure that when i invest this much capital and i'm getting a return on my engagement so if somebody is engaging with them and i'm not semi. Am i going to work harder than you like. Do i care more than you do. That's a problem. Make sense if we flip it around so for candidates who have multiple offers You wrote about finding the companies that align with your values of who you are. So what are some ways that candidates on blazing general where you can do that kind of self reflection to know your core values and then find companies have mashed that you okay so i mean you could go to therapy. He could go to therapy. You could get a coach right. Someone who work through things with you. I recognize that not everyone might be able to have access to those resources so one of the things that i learned from a therapist in the past into all about trying to figure out what are my dealbreakers. What are my non-negotiable right. And then what are the things that are really fueling for me so one of the things you can do is think through again. You can ask the question. What am i redeem qualities. What are my biggest strengths. And then ask yourself the question. What's required in order for me to exercise those strikes. I need to be in that space in place where i can learn. I love to learn. I love to grow so for me. Value of mine is going to be growth and learning. I need to be at a company that also acknowledges and appreciates that learners mindset. I need to have leadership. Who supportive of mike growth as well. So that's what i'm really thinking about is. What are the things that really light me up that. Keep me fueled that inspire me. I have those written down. Then i think about okay. Well what is the environment that's needed. Or what are the conditions that are needed in order to support that cultivate that even more encouraged that even more and then what is the kind of leadership that's required in order to maintain and grow that kind of environment. So i figure those things out. I can start asking questions during the interview experience to either identify. Yes they have these qualities that can support my values or no. This is a hard. No right i think this is the hardest. Part is recognizing. I have women's that if somebody crosses this boundary it'll be detrimental for me as a person there certain experiences where i didn't know the exact questions needed to ask but i was very present during the interview experience. I remember having one interview again. A presentation and at the end of the presentation one of the people on the panel was like that was cute but not good taste basically not word for word but essentially yes it was like i could tell you worked really hard and the design was really nice but there was nothing significant that you shared with us that was legitimately it and basically for fifteen minutes. They just tore my presentation apart. And i remember after this interview i laid on the floor and i was like that felt terrible is so this is a boundary. I was like. Hey listen if i'm experiencing this in the interview. This is what i'm gonna get when i go to the job and it's gonna be worse. They're on their best behavior right now. What happens when they're on their normal behavior. What happens when they're having a bad day so for me. I thought about even this values exercise. I value feeling supported and there. I felt so dismissed i felt torn apart and i was like. This is not a space where i can feel supported if you want to hear more from gabrielle. You can join her and alexey in mood.

And you probably work in. It from his journey from. start marketing. Ops max will share juicy tidbits like why you should always have a plan see how you can carve out your own career path internally rather than have to jump ship to another company. Here's max advice you can be your best in key moments a good tip that i've gotten from a couple of my mentors life year of you know how to make this next role of ill for yourself is really within a company is making yourself the obvious choice right. It's just always being there being reliable in those situations so that when they developed a need for that kind of position or there is the opportunity for that growth. They don't have to think about looking outside the company for that person they know you're that person and making sure your fostering the right relationships within the company larry learning what people do within How they do it in the most importantly like how you can help them do it more efficiently especially when you're in the operations career path right now my mantra for marketing operations. Michael is to make our marketing more efficient not just our processes internally but even just how it converts in how are sales ratzel able to move it forward so is finding out how. I'm able to help them. What they expect the media help them with and finding ways to really foster that building on that right. It's a lot about building trust. You gotta be able. You want to be reliable. And when i say that i'm not saying have the answer for everything being able to fix everything but when someone asks you some bank being on time of doing it's really more about responding timely working on things that also being helpful but is being honest. Hey this is what i can do to help. Make this request process easier for you now by helping clean up some reports helping take care of some data but also being honest that i can't change things at this point in time and now king up for now right having done all that built that trust within those teams by being there being honest about how i can and being helpful when again to be able to start this project now of overhauling their entire processes. I like that. It's just making yourself available being the go-to helpful guy and even if you don't know everything and just being honest about your abilities and but just saying hey. I'm willing to lend a hand and help figure it out. And i guess looking back at your progression or looking at what other people in the company of done successfully. I'd actually like to take the negative viewpoint. And what have you observed within yourself or within others to avoid what are some of the no knows as people sort of progress to their career or take on new projects that that you would caution again so big no no for projects that it's one of learned over time to is making sure. Get stakeholder buying right. it's really reaching within the company in finding the right people that need to involve and wants to be involved to help drive that project forward. Also once you've done that is making sure their timelines all line. That i know that. Okay i can't throw this on their plate in expected to be done in the next month and made mistakes with this throw in my own projects at certain points not understanding the workload capacities of my other stakeholders at the time of things fall through the cracks. Not get done in time. I observed this all the time with smaller marketing projects to it's just a content creation or a list. Did he built not understanding. Who has the capacity right now or when this Accomplish fi and really setting a coordinated timeline across it all. And that's where it's getting. That biden is all right. You guys see this as a huge pain and the real thing that we need to justify within the business are we on the same age here cool than how are we moving forward. When is it appropriate. So what other tips do you have for people when it comes to making a change any type of change good or bad things using my being a good coach metaphor here when it comes to project if you're managing you have to be an effective coach in two ways. I take that analogy. Because i'm basketball guy. Huge football guy so thinking of it for that sense right before you can run a play. You have to make sure everyone understands their role and expectations execute and the other especially for projects. When it comes to ones with hard deadlines is always had an audible. Ready and novel should be something like we're just gonna switch it up and call a hail mary. No it should be something planned based on how you've set yourself up so i like to go into project having a plan a lambie an unplanned lanc- usually for me is what i like to call. Don't cut the rope making sure that i don't kill what we've already have. So that in case all else fails you can go back to every time i come up with a project. Solution like a proposed solution for a project. You try to offer multiple options knowing they're going to go with option a. But keep should be in your back pocket in case..

"Everyone and welcome to another episode of keeping it. One hundred helping revenue practitioners better tackling new role or project. I'm your host nelson kellyanne in. Today's guest is malcolm smith senior manager. Sales development at hacker won a security software company. That helps it folks test their security muscles working in sales development and living in new york city. Malcolm is as tough as it gets in this episode. He'll spill the beans and how to change your mindset from an individual contributor to a manager you can build your brand and how you can consume vast amounts of knowledge. There's little time it takes to share this podcast with your friends family enemies. Here's malcolm's advice. Seek me a best in key moments aright. The first ninety days of any new venture are critical. There's some general advice. I would give folks who are interested in leveling their career. You want to be very organized. It's one of the things. I've had to learn painfully. Unfortunately but what ends up happening is a lot of people who are interested in moving up in their career. They're usually pretty good at things. And they're the types of people who more often than not will sort of coast by on their own ingrained talent. That's stops working at a certain point and you really need to start having a system of organization to keep yourself honest and accountable because at a certain point responsibility becomes more than just yourself. So that's a huge one of the things. I'm continuing to learn. I think in general in the first ninety days if you're starting new role as a as a manager for example you want to try to learn as much as possible about the organization. A lot of people wanna come in and make sweeping changes immediately. Leave their mark. That's tempting but it's a mistake because frankly wanna come in and really understand the organization the culture the team like what's going on before you start making strategic decisions and in pursuit of that. I think it's so important to establish relationships as soon as possible whether you're in a supervisory position you have individual contributors under you or if you have a lot of cross functional partners you need to work with it so important to establish both a social and a professional relationship with the people you work with. The reality is the way humans interact in the way communication takes place. It's going to be better for you if people like you. S the reality and the way you do that as you show vulnerability you show your humanity your true yourself and you demonstrate your professionalism so i think that's absolutely crucial. Beyond that the other advice. I would share two things really. I think number one you need to read it needs to become part of you like breathing and sleeping like it. You need to be consuming knowledge on a constant basis anywhere. You can get it for me. I've been Pretty brutal the last couple of weeks. I got this program called blinking which is really also on been cramming down like summaries of books onto speed outs dense. But you gotta do it one way or the other. Whether it's podcasts or articles that are relevant to your industry or books i mean. There's so many grants that just have to read. Because that's how you sharpen your sword and again at a certain point you start to realize that you're advancement in your career stops becoming what you do and it becomes more of. What do you know you only way you're going to get. There is by absorbing this knowledge my last piece of advice and this is a little bit different. I'm not sure if anyone's doing this. The level they should. But i highly recommend that when you get into a larger position or more senior position. Start keeping a journal. Write down your daily experiences. What happened to you and more importantly than that how you felt because this is something. I've noticed that's really helped me in my career. Whenever i come to a crossroads or i need to make a decision about something. If i write down what i was thinking about what i was feeling during this process when i come back later and i can look at it objectively not only understand what transpired but i understand the decision in the emotional context and that helps me avoid making mistakes potentially or finding myself feeling a similar way and saying okay. This is not the right way to feel about this situation. Of course right having a journal just it's good practice improve your writing. It's a it's a good thing to habich allies and that would be my last piece of advice. Series is developed good habits the way human beings are in my experience. If you do something every day you will be an expert in it before you know it. It doesn't take too long to make a habit out of something even if it's a little bit silly so for me. I try to do a little bit every day. And you know if you would prove one percent of day you will be thirty seven times better by the end of the year and compounding. Your talent is so important and the earlier you start that like anybody listening to this. If you're in your twenties like do it now. You will be so good. You'll be so much farther ahead of your peers if you really really are diligent and disciplined about.

Best practices but to take the time to figure out the right approach for your situation whether it's technology or tactics to reach your goals. Here's alfie illustrating his advice on taking a systems thinking approach to being a revenue manager. I think that when you when you go into a manager role. It's that transition from icu. To a not working as an individual within a machine. I am the machine operates up and you have to take systems thinking approach to to management an analogy which helps explain. This is a. You're trying to make the best car in the world. It might be easy to think. Okay i'm just gonna take the best bits of the best 'cause in the world so i'm going to take the take piece out of System from tesna taken engine out of the mustang type of polish. I if you mentioned taking these pots output on a warehouse floor in the factory and then reassembling them to get thinking. This is going to be the best allowed while you'd be mistaken because they probably don't even talk to each other the nuts and bolts ain't fit. You wouldn't even move and so a systems. Thinking is not looking at each individual piece in trying to optimize and maximize. But it's how does one piece actually relate into the other if you used to things like emails or coup. These sorts of things you can try maximize get in the number of coups but if the pitch that's going through these is not work in or you constantly go incorrect numbers because your day to provide a sox will they just don't really work in a systems orientated fashion and you really need to think about building your own machine from the ground up making sure each individual pieces with each other and that is another big problem when you look outside help for advice because everything is taken out of context. What's really well for. One company or one particular team is seeking wet wealthy. Because you haven't got the context of what other interlinked can pause. Actually that so you just kind of stay in your lane.
