Josh and Jesse Berger Talk All Things PKT
"These two gentlemen that are here today have been fighting to get on there and get some visibility for a year now. I met you both gentlemen last year walking around. And I have with me Josh Berger and Jesse Berger. The Berger Brothers. The Berger Brothers. Is there another one? There is a third Berger. There's a third Berger. I saw him on the emails. Who's that one? He's the younger Berger Brother. You don't take him with you? He's got a kid, so we got to, you know, he needs a babysit, you know. Got to babysit. That's funny. We need someone to keep the train on the tracks while we're out here in the trenches hustling and spreading the gospel of packet. That's it. That's what we're here for today is talk about packet and it's spelled PKT. That's correct. But it was interesting is last year I ran into you. We were talking over at a lounge and it was so exciting because at Consensus of 2022 had like 20 ,000 people. It was just amazing to be able to run into everyone. And there's so many people here today. We have more room here to mingle and walk around, but you've come such a long way in a year with this product, with this amazing, what would you call it? A portal Wi -Fi. How are you packaging packet? Yeah, so it's a mesh Wi -Fi technology and there's really two key parts to this. There's the baseline protocol, the blockchain, which is called packet and it's an ecosystem fully decentralized. There's no foundation. There's no company. There's no investors. It's like the true decentralized type protocol, similar to Bitcoin. It's code on GitHub. Anybody could download it for free and make essentially money off of your internet. And then within that ecosystem, a company that Josh and I and Jeremy founded, as well as our other co -founder, Caleb James Delisle, who's one of the original protocol creators and lead dev, started PacketPal. And PacketPal, the whole premise was building software and hardware to make it really easy for people to participate in the packet ecosystem.

Mini-Grids 101 With Erick Hersman, Co-Founder of Gridless
"To start out, Eric, I just want to talk about the mini grid economics. That was something that you and Peter talked about a decent amount, but I want a little bit more information out of you if I can. So I'm thinking about the cost to get these mini grids online, finding the location for them and keeping it running. My understanding is that you partner with people who have already built these things and you guys aren't necessarily building them yourselves, but just from working with those partners, what are the aspects you're looking at in order to get a mini grid site online? Yeah, thanks. So it's been really interesting. We've been having our crash course in energy training this last year and a half or so. And it's been interesting. It's been fun. And it's also been one of those educational experiences. So when we're dealing with mini grids, we're kind of on the edge of rural Africa that has the beginnings of electrification and not a great amount of usage yet. So if you think about it, there's 1.1 billion people around the world who don't have electricity. 600 million of them are in Africa. So over half. And that means that this continent has the most area still to be electrified, which is a massive opportunity, and Bitcoin mining is actually going to pay for that. Bitcoin mining pays for electricity to be pushed further out because the normal consumers and those locations don't actually have the usage and demand yet to use it all. And the economies of scale for a mini grid provider can be really, really, I guess, upsetting, if you're an investor, there's a tyranny of a small size problem, right? Which is, you know, you can have a mini grid and let's say a mini grid hydro is going in. He's going to put in 200 kW. It might cost him about $4000 per kilowatt to put that in. If he was put in two megawatts, it would cost him about a $1000 per kilowatt.

Proactive Policing Is the Best Form of Policing
"Practical policing is the best form of policing second place as community policing. I think that those are in their close second. I think that if you are a community policing, but you're not proactive, what's the point of kissing babies and doing jump rope and you're not even going out and doing your job. They don't really pay us to jump rope and kiss your kids. But I think that's a good thing to build community relationships. So they can help you catch bad guys if people want to cooperate with you, but proactive policing is number one in my opinion. You have to be out there. You have to be contacting people. You have to be able to catch the dude walking around with no shirt on in the middle of the night and have some and make contact with him because that's the person that's going to corrupt and kill somebody, potentially. You have to make contact with people. You have to, you know, be involved in the community. Because to be honest, if you had enough patrols, a lot of these murders wouldn't occur because people would be deterred from going out and committing crimes in broad daylight or could commit crimes right in front of a police officer. Now, we already know in these inner cities around the country, they don't give a F I saw a video of a dude pull out a gun and shoot at a car right in front of the police officer. And the police officer punked out and she drove away. Now I don't blame her because why are you gonna die for a thug? We gonna risk your life for that person? They don't give a about their life. But anyway, you still can't be a coward when you put the badge on. You just gotta suck it up and say, hey, I may lose my life over a person who has really no value other than what God sees value as, but that's just my opinion.

Half of U.S. Homicides Go Unsolved As Police Struggle to Keep Pace
"All right. Let me get on to this news that is coming out and not coming out. I mean, it's already out. But I'm sure many of you guys probably would be horrified at what I'm about to read, but it's true. Roughly half of the homicides go unsolved in the United States of America. The FBI data analysis by the murder accountability project and the Marshall project revealed that in 2022, until 2020, the rate of homicide that were solved dropped tremendously from years past to roughly 50% the FBI reported 71% of homicides were solved in 1980, the murder accountability project stated that before 1980, the rate of homicides that were solved stood as high as 90% is now roughly lower than 50 or around 50%. Now, there's a few reasons why this is happening because I would argue that in the inner city community violence is going out of control and you know that nobody's catching nobody in the hood when they're doing drive by shootings and murdering each other. So a lot of those homicides go inside because people ain't snitching. That's a thing that I think is not only, I think it's being put to the test more now because not snitching has been around forever. But I think that people are killing more people and then in our snitching is resulting in them not being able to solve these murders. And then you got so many murders going on and you don't have enough police support. And I stopped funny, but people just need to understand this. When you talk about defunding the police, you're not just defunding bad police officers. You're not just defunding patrol. When you go to take money away from the police budget, they have to then reallocate funds and reallocate resources and every area of the police department because patrol is essential. So they can't just pull everybody out of patrol. They lose money. They're going to have to start pulling people out of special assignments.

How the Media Dismissed Wuhan Lab Leak
"I want you to just put the icing on the cake. I want you to hear the Montage of media art, I would say dismantling, but they're dismissing that it came from a Wuhan lab. Bro clip two. Just weeks ago, doctor Anthony Fauci rejected the conspiracy that coronavirus was man-made in a lab in Wuhan, China. Both scientists and the U.S. intelligence community agree that this coronavirus was not man-made. That is not a possibility. Really just take a critical scientific look at the evidence that's available. Our belief is that it's much more likely this came from an animal. You said the overwhelming amount of evidence indicates that's a lab leak. I believe most card carrying viral phylogeny and molecular virologists would disagree with you. I'm really sorry that the lab leak has become such a distraction for so many people because frankly we still don't know. There is no evidence really to say. These people are stupid.

We Deserve Answers From Dr. Fauci
"Doctor Fauci now crooked crooked crooked people. I do not understand how you consider yourself a virologist. And my thing is this. I understand that there's things that I don't know. same thing in policing. People talk a big game, but if you had never won a uniform, you have no idea for the most part what you're talking about. So I know there's probably things in virology that I don't understand, but we deserve an explanation. I shouldn't have to go and try to be a scientist and figure this out. Doctor Fauci should be able to get out there and say, this is what happened and this is why and I'm wrong. Or this is what happened. This is why I had nothing to do with it because of X, Y, Z these people should be out here explaining that why people have a heart attacks and dropping dead after taking a vaccine. Why are people complaining about it? I haven't gotten a vaccine, so I don't have any complaints. I don't know what they're talking about. I'm just watching people from all walks of life, complain about side effects, complain about family members who have died, we see people just we see athletes that in numbers that we've never seen before. Just dropping dead out of nowhere.

Did Our Government Fund the Wuhan Lab?
"We had our government fund the Wuhan lab where they knew they were doing what we called gain of function research. That's pretty much taken I'm going to try to say it in the most educated way that I know it to be. It seems to me that what they're doing with gain of function research is that they're taken viruses known viruses. They know what it does and they're testing it and experimenting and making them more dangerous or less dangerous to the spread of it. They're increasing the I want to say efficacy. I don't know if that's the right term to use for that. But the virality of it, they're doing research to figure out how to make it more expansive or less expensive. And then they're putting stuff together and create new viruses. And the reason that logically outside of malice, somebody would do that, is because they want to see if this virus mutates to this point, what will happen to people. If we had this virus in this virus together, and they just so happened to parent, they just so happened to come together. What will happen?

Uncovering Fauci's COVID Lies
"These people so crooked man God of mercy. I pray that he rained down, destruction on these people that are lying. You know, somebody lying here when it comes to the Wuhan lab. When it comes to the coronavirus, somebody's lying. Therefore, somebody needs to be punished. Either the Chinese are lying to the world that we are the ones who initiated or instigated the virus and had it spread all over the world. It's our fault. Or either their line are we lying, saying that it came from the Wuhan lab. And I don't know how many times Rand Paul lectured Doctor Fauci. On the gain of function research in the Chinese Wuhan lab, funded by not completely funded, but in part funded by American. And Doctor Fauci knew, you know, this is, this is what bothers me about these people. These people know that they're screwing America. And they just get away with it.

Voyager Digital Faces FTC Probe Over 'Deceptive' Crypto Marketing
"According to a new legal filing from the Federal Trade Commission, there's an investigation into Voyager digital and how they marketed their cryptocurrency project. Of course, Voyager digital declared a chapter 11 bankruptcy over the summer months. That was part of the spew of the fallout from three hours capital. They later sold their chapter 11 bankruptcy claims to FTX, which then itself went into chapter 11, and now we have this investigation, also this morning we have new headline that binance U.S. has been affirmed and is likely to win the final chapter 11 assets from this whole contagion with Voyager. So we kind of get a resolution there. That being said, this FTC investigation is now open and they're going to look into the directors, the officers, the marketing of the firm that got them into this position in the first place. It's really feels like a story for Jenny got to throw your way. There's a lot of marketing and crypto. There's a lot of marketing out there that Gary gensler and SEC boys would not love. But it's probably how you went out in this ecosystem. Want to get your take on it? Yeah, so this is all about this bankruptcy case, right? What the FTC is saying is that if Voyager is sold, which it looks like it is going to be to Biden's U.S., all of these marketing claims shouldn't go away and I think I agree with them. I just want to remind our audience. So there is a class action lawsuit in South Florida, and it's against Mark Cuban and the Dallas Mavericks and the claims are that Voyager falsely marketed the platform as a 100% commission free, falsely represented Voyager as insured by the FDIC and failed to disclose the nature scope and amount of compensation celebrities received in exchange for promotion. I don't think that the executives and the company should not be held liable for those things. If it's found that these allegations are true, and I guess my next question is, is if the sale goes through and binance U.S. does acquire Voyager digital, do they acquire these lawsuits as well? It seems like the FTC wants them to and I wonder if that's going to affect the sale, but I think that all marketers in crypto should be looking at this with a magnifying glass and taking a look at your marketing strategy. You should understand how the business works. If you're making claims that there are things like FDIC insurance and it comes out in your copy and your marketing, you are partially responsible for that

Flashbots Co-Founder Phil Daian Talks MEV
"Start by talking about the history of MeV, what MeV is? And then we'll go into sort of a broader discussion about some of the interesting topics that it brings up. Yeah, I'm really excited to have fill here who I sort of think of as kind of the granddaddy of MeV and the formalization of MeV on Ethereum. I think one thing that's weird about MeV is it feels like this extremely niche deep rabbit hole where there's a certain subset of crypto people who are all the way down the rabbit hole. I love it. But if you are starting from the first time, it's sort of confusing as to what is going on, why we're in this place, all the different actors are and what they're doing. And so I guess, do you want to give us sort of a little bit of your impression or your background on what was MeV like or how to sort of get started? What do you think of as sort of the first example of MeV in crypto? Yeah, definitely. Hello, everyone. I'm Phil cofounder of flashbots and a PhD student at Cornell who works on smart contract security. What was MeV like for me? It's a super complicated journey. I think anyone who's been into MeV for a while kind of has this story about how they stumbled onto it and fell down the rabbit hole. I often compare it to kind of Alice in Wonderland because for some people, once they discover MeV, the entire world just stops making sense and you fall into this kind of like crazy alternate reality. So for me, kind of what that journey was like, kind of started with getting into Bitcoin. I got into Bitcoin on some digital activism work that I was doing. And I wanted to kind of think about how to further the cryptocurrency cause kind of around 20 15 I got into Bitcoin kind of a little before that, but around 2015, I decided, okay, I want to change my career. From formal verification, which is what I was working at the time and kind of formalizing car software, formalizing planes, things like that, into helping the cause of cryptocurrency because it's a super important and revolutionary technology.

Unpacking CES 2023: Where Was Web3?
"How is CES? How is a consumer electronic show? What did you think of it this year? I didn't make it, so I'm really curious if web three was everywhere, or if it was anywhere. Great question. CES was a little bit of both. One, there were some amazing people, great conversations that were had. We interviewed, I think almost 20 people and did a bunch of great Sessions on stage. And so that was fantastic. The thing that I was most interested in is how much web three was not showing up on the show floor. For anyone who hasn't been to CES, it is really an expo show. It is a 1 million ft² of demo space for people to show off their new wares. There was like 15 foot holograms of Mark Cuban. There was all of this amazing sort of gaming and VR tech and haptic tech that we saw and tons of autonomous cars. But when I kept looking, I was like, oh, I'm not seeing much web three here, which compared to when you go to a south by Southwest or a can or even art Basel. You see what three almost everywhere? Here it was kind of missing. And so I'm just, I was a bit surprised because I thought I would see more from not being there, but seeing the news, what was your takeaway? Yeah, well, I was thinking about going and I've been to CES a bunch of times before. This year, just timing didn't work out. So I was following along the news. I was really excited to see what Raja for Mastercard announced with Mastercard's web three accelerator. They're doing that in collaboration with polygon studios, which I thought was really cool. That seemed to be sort of the biggest web three announcement in news, but a lot of what I was seeing was more hardware developments like L'oreal, unveiled some new technology on the applicator phase for people with accessibility challenges. I thought that was amazing. I didn't see a ton about web three though, outside of Mastercard's announcement with polygon.

Brian Gallagher, Co-Founder of Partisia Blockchain, Shares His Story
"Brian, we got you here on the crypto one O one podcast. We're talking crypto all day every day and you're coding crypto all day. You're building portis blockchain. So tell us from a high level, what do you doing in the crypto space and how did you get here? How long have you been here? Are you a veteran or are you a guy who's like, you know, just kind of branching into the crypto world right now? Yeah, no, so I've been around basically since the beginning. As an observer, at least in the beginning, and then as a Bitcoin buyer on 2015 as a daft builder in 2016, 17, and I teach a blockchain, it's our capstone project. It's a layer one protocol. We call it also a layer one plus two because we provide privacy as a service through other blockchains. So you can think of us as like a second private second layer for privacy on other chains like eth, polygon, doing binance, smart chain integration next. We're even going to bring Bitcoin over. So let's talk a little bit more about that. But basically partisan blockchain, layer one plus two solution. The reason we invented it is because in 2017, when Ethereum starts to take off, there were obvious scalability issues. There's also no privacy built in. So we took two or three years to architect and design this solution. The company has been around in advanced cryptography since the 80s. From a research standpoint, and then from a commercial development standpoint, since 2008, if you look up the first commercial use case of NPC in a research paper called MPC goes live, the actually launched the first commercial use case of MPC where they ran a sealed bid auction for Danish government. Artesia is a Danish organization. And then we decided after 12 years of commercial enterprise MPC multi party computation to make a layer one blockchain that incorporates MPC into the protocol itself.

So, I mean, dude, he might have, he might have been the most successful person we've ever sat down with, it face to face. Well, we sat with vitalik, but I mean, if this guy was the one who put the first money in, he probably got a little bit more than its vitalik did unless they split it all up equally. I don't know how they divided it at all. We sat with vitalik, but it wasn't really face to face because he doesn't like looking at people right in the eye.

Behind The Tech with Kevin Scott
"co founder" Discussed on Behind The Tech with Kevin Scott
"They can access programmatically now. They can start building stuff on top of that rather than just through studio. So super fun stuff there. I think we're really getting into how do we do voice in a safe and civilized way. Because it's ultimately a big part of what we're going to do, thinking facial animation either automatically with the camera with lip syncing is going to bring an level of life to these platforms as long as it's once again done in a safe and secure way. So that's super interested about that. Interested in Ross scale interested in our internal version of Lua, which is typed, we've open-sourced that. And so we're interested in efforts to have people use that in education and nudge nudge. Of course, help our developers be very productive in the creation of that, which is something you guys are really good at. So there's just a lot of fun stuff because we've built such a high quality Lua engine, I mean the feature I want to see is cloud compilation of our Lewis. So behind the scenes, you have both the flexibility of an interpreted language, but once that thing starts running in the cloud, it's running even ten times faster, so that'll be very powerful. So just a lot of fun stuff. Yeah. I mean, it does sound like you have a pretty special environment where you get to work on interesting problems across the full gamut of computer science, which is just a ton of fun. Totally. Totally. So we are almost out of time in the last question that I like to ask everyone, you know, you're the CEO of a public company, like you've got thousands of employees, you know, tens of millions of daily active users. So you're pretty pretty busy guy, but I like to ask everyone what they do in their spare time. So when you're not doing Roblox, what do you do that is interesting to you? Yeah, it might sound actually really boring because the things I do when I'm not at Roblox involve a family friend connections, social, balance, personal health, fitness, decompression, and I would say, whereas I try to keep Roblox as the hobby I would want to do. So I try to it's almost like I try to keep my the rest of my life organized a lot enough and happy enough and keep my head on straight enough so that I can then make Roblox kind of my hobby and my work at the same time. That is a really great way of looking at life. Well, so thank you so much for taking the time to chat with us today. This has been a really awesome conversation, David. Thank you, Kevin. Thank.
B2B Marketing Now
"co founder" Discussed on B2B Marketing Now
"At all, and it has helped you get where you are today. So I think that there's one that I can think of. It's like a market change that on the surface is super negative. And you're also part of this story. There's things like 2014 or 15 when a huge API change on LinkedIn and they decided that LinkedIn groups wasn't saying that they want to invest in. They don't want to have people pragmatically posting content into and for us being the B2B solution LinkedIn groups was part of a strategy for many businesses. And it was a good legion channel and they were getting lots of value out of that, but providing contents that are able to the readers. But you know, it is what it is. You get a few months notice, and this is going away. It's going to be moving. And the first thing is, oh shit. What are we going to do now? This is why people are using octopus, or part of the reason why people are using octopus. But when we took some time to think about it, like, why are people using LinkedIn groups, we rebuild it down to it's about amplification about getting your content and your message and your thought leadership out to people who aren't necessarily following your LinkedIn company page, your Twitter accounts, Facebook comfy page, et cetera and besides having churn during that period, embarrassed to say the numbers, but we're past that. That was the birth of advocacy. These two parts octopus in 2013, like two years later, you burst off the post employee advocacy bake right on in. I mean, this is pretty mind-blowing. It's vibrant, but again, advocacy, again, it's the same concept. You're using external resources to amplify your content on social media. So for us, advocacy did wonders for us opposed. It did one for the customers that are using advocacy and are able to amplify their awareness and social and position their employees as thought leaders in the industry. So I think, yeah, that's a great example. Which is super negative, we had again huge churn in a two, three month period, but on the long run, this was something which is it was amazing for octopus customers and octopus as well. Agreed and Leon, can you share some lemonade that you've made from some of your startup lemons? I think I think the advocates of stories, it's a great story, right? Because we had this well beyond completely honest when you a couple of months before the blinking or planning to remove this API. And we needed to prepare for it. And we had all these different assumptions about what's going to happen and how it's going to be rolled out. And when we understood that it's going to be removed and at some point, we also understood that it's going to be gradually removed and multiple are going to be one of the first ones, ones that are aren't going to have it. You know, the bounce back or our solution for within advocacy part. So that was a very, very good story, but I think what we failed at things every day. You know what we do? A lot of things we have a lot of we're kind of juggling a lot of both. Again, even with a 40 people startup there are a lot of different roles that aren't being completely filled or a whole different functions that are fully addressed by having dedicated people doing them. So we're wearing a lot of different hats throughout the day throughout the week for the months and even if we have a defined role as soon as the product is, you know, sales were still doing very versatile and doing a lot of different things. And no one you're juggling sometimes the things fall before between the cracks. But I think it's a learning experience and an amazing journey. So recall on something that we're making, but a failure that we switch, but I think that the stories of great story. So I like what you said it's about the journey I once read a quote, I think, and it was a lot of times people pay attention to when someone's born and when someone dies, even on their tombstone, it's written when they're born and when they've died. And there's like this little dash in between those numbers, but actually the life or the journey right that dash is the most important part of that person's life. That's what makes the person who they are. And I would argue that it sounds like it's very similar at octopus, right? You may have been founded in 2013. We're still ongoing, great things are happening, but really that little dash that's defining when we are running and operating. That's the journey. That's the excitement that's the story, and that's where we're learning. For the sake of time, and I know everyone's if you're commuting and hopefully your commute is only 30 minutes. But I have two questions left. The one I have, you know, here is what's next for octopus with this new round of funding, new investors. I think there's new board members, a new employees. I mean, a lot of new things. What's next? Grow grow grow. That's our goal. We've been growing super successfully up to now. And this is, you know, for us, it's to put additional fuel and oxygen onto the fire. So look at every single corner of octopus. It's going to be growing. Fantastic. I'm excited for it. So the last question, and this is what everybody waits for. So I'm really excited for this one. So usually if you listen to the show, you know that the last question is we ask if the guest can tell us something about themselves that you can't find out from their LinkedIn profile, right? All these executives on LinkedIn, everybody has their professional persona. And I was gonna ask you guys that today, but then I started thinking, you know, hey, let's change things up a bit. While I have you both on the show, what I want to ask you, Daniel. Can you share something about Leon that is not on his LinkedIn profile and Leon, I want to say from you, can you share with us something today that we don't know about Daniel? And it's not on his LinkedIn profile that only you know that you can share with us today. Ready? Go. Good. Yeah. So he has like two jobs that you would never imagine. So you know that no, not, I hope not. Previously, right? One is, I don't know if it's on your LinkedIn lean. Photographer. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, that's true. It's on your LinkedIn? No, not true. And the other one, which is like more like wild from what he does today, he was a house painter. He used to paint houses. Really? Yeah, a small, small business entrepreneurship before and before I was 18. So everybody starts somewhere. So from painting houses to underwater photography.

I do feel like it's about stories. People want to hear the stories.

And how they unpack these stories for our audience and it's really quite extraordinary. We originally talked about this organization as being four high school students by college students. There's probably a better way to say that we thought about having this be a initiative that really highlighted the voice of the college student for the high school students. One of the dimensions of our website is really hearing individuals students stories and we want us want track. Talk to be a neutral entrusted source of content. We don't want take a position. We want to offer opportunities for the students themselves to hear from others and learn about what's important to them through the lens of their peers and i think tried talk is really fitting for that type of conversation.

Ultimately, we'd love to be a roommate connector and all kinds of program connector, but we'd like students to be able to connect with each other and have an ability to do that in a way that they don't currently have. And let me just add that we're doing all this on a multimedia platform that young people can identify with that. They're hip to Michelle. I think what we're trying to build is a network of connections for our students, as well as for the organizations that we're collaborating with in the high school space and on the college campus. So this idea of bringing people together is at the base is at the base of what we're trying to do. There are lots of cool multimedia, elements job That you'll find a tribe talk. Org.

"Student. But it's also the college student junior or senior year. It's never too late to get the information you need to survive and thrive on campus. Right and i think one of the things that we are not We'll probably talk about this. Oh further down in the The interview is we are not an advocacy group because thankfully ad l. and san with us in opener media helped of many many many other organizations. That are out there that are doing important work that we can direct our students to go to to get clarity to learn about having more of an understanding about topics that just don't feel as well informed so again it's really about that landscape. What i call the ground the ground cover if you will to really give them a chance to be able to start to identify. What is it that i know and what is it. I'm still that. I'm lacking knowledge in and awareness So i think that's really really important to differentiate who we are in a sea of other acronyms out there. I was gonna follow up on. Jude's point the landscape knowing where to go when you get on campus and how to find your jewish path and the meaning in your jewish on campus is so integral to what we're doing here. It's not only the standing up for your jewish identity and standing up for israel standing up for who you want to be as you become a young adult in the world and so if you really care about hillary that's great if you wanna be in the jewish fraternity we understand to what tried talk. Doing is not only the anti zionist anti-semitism is also doing the meaning making on campus finding a place for these jewish students to come in find a place of belonging in connection. That is so true. Michelle this is really a group of people and organization that is looking to do something positive for the students and create a sense of community as we do so robin suburb building community in two different ways. One way is. We started this year with an internship program. We had twenty five insurance this summer. High school.

"And so, you know, we have a wonderful consult who's working with us. Rachel fish. And I'm always wanted to Steve podcast that she recorded in fact with you Jordan about having your gang, finding your feet, finding your people. And so what I think is really important what I see tribe talk really doing in defining who we are in this landscape. Of very complicated organizational, whatever it is is that we're giving these kids agency and they're finding the ladders of the kids are a little bit older than me. A little bit younger than them and they are needing together fabric of a community of caring individuals that are stepping up and saying, hey, this is not okay. This is my college experience too. So I guess that's what I think tribe talk is unique in terms of what it's creating as we are in. Its first year, not even actually anniversary net yet but soon is really about the connectivity and building a stronger community on whatever college campus, our students are kids or other kids are finding to be their best choice for their college experience. And the audience that tribe talk. Org is addressing his certainly, the high school student, but it's also the college student, junior, or senior year, it's never too late to get the information. You need to survive and thrive on campus, right? And I think one of the things that we are not, and I will probably talk about this little further down in the, the interview is, we are not an advocacy group because thankfully ADL and seeing with us and opened or media, the many, many, many other authors, Nations that are out there that are doing important work, that we can direct our students to go to to get clarity to learn about having more of an understanding around topics than just don't feel as well. Informed. So again, it's really about that landscape. What I would call the ground, the ground cover, if you will to really give them a chance to be able to start identify, what is it? That I know. And what is it that I'm still at that, I'm lacking knowledge and and and awareness. And so I think that's really really important to differentiate who we are. And let's see of other acronyms out there. I was going to follow up on Jude's point the landscape knowing them to go when you get on campus and how to find your Jewish path. And the meaning in your Jewish experience, on campus is so integral to what we're doing here, it's not only the standing up for your Jewish identity and standing up for Israel, it's needing up for who you want to be as you become a young adult in the world. And so, if you really care about Hillel or habad, that's great. If you want to be in the Jewish fraternity, wage, Understand that to what tribe talk is doing, is not only the anti-zionist anti-Semitism. It's also doing the meaning making on campus, finding a place for these Jewish students to come back on and find a place of belonging and connection. That is so true..

The problem where tribe talk can certainly make a difference so let me start by saying not every student who goes to college ends up being confronted by anti semitism anti zionism that is certainly not the case and a lot of students go to school and have a great experience and don't really have any sort of interaction with any negative experiences however many jewish students are faced with some form of antisemitism somewhere along the way their college experience and unfortunately they're getting it from the extreme right and extreme left so on the right. They're seeing a misses a rip down from their door frame or they're seeing a swastika on a building that they attend like a hill l. On the left denouncing zionism has really become a litmus test in many schools for students to participate in a social justice activity. And so for example. There was recently an op. Ed in an arizona state university student run paper that cell said that student groups should refuse to co sponsor events with pro israel groups. So that means. If you're pro. You shouldn't be allowed to participate in climate change or raising the minimum wage or other things that affect students that have nothing to do with being jewish being israel but you're being marginalized unless you wanted denounced zionism and there are many many examples of that. That have happened over the last year or last few years. And that's really what students are facing both from the right and from the left. We have a friend whose daughter came back from christmas break and said that over spring break she was going to go on birthright and her four roommates. Stop speaking to her. Why because they said if she was going to go to israel than she was anti-palestinian and couldn't talk to her and her attitude was not anti anything. I just want to go and learn and see and they said sorry. If you're going to go to israel we can't speak to you anymore. That is happening on college. Campuses as my oldest son. Evan was preparing to go to college. He's first your student at tufts university. We have the benefit of meeting with someone about track talk Who talked to us about the campus environment and one thing that was really concerning to me as he said the jewish students feel left out of progressive students spaces so of my son wants to rally for immigration reform immigration reform that could be sponsored by s j p which is an organization that he probably doesn't know what it's all about or what it stands for and he shows up promoting israel he's gonna be targeted with the star on his back no pun intended in. I think it's really important for us to know how there's this. One person termed baseball card activism. So a lot of these groups are organizing themselves together. And they're they're leaving. In some instances the jewish students out in and i think that The other thing i learned at talking to him was that when things do occur in the administration is always eager to respond and respond appropriately..
