Pills flowed for years as DEA dragged feet on disciplining opioid distributor
"There are concerns about how the revolving door between government and industry may be impacting the U.S. drug enforcement administration's mission to police drug companies blamed for tens of thousands of overdose deaths in the U.S.. The DEA has allowed one of the country's largest wholesale drug distributors to continue shipping highly addictive pain killers for nearly four years after a judge recommended the company be stripped of its license for a cavalier disregard of thousands of suspicious orders. The company is Morris and Dickinson and a high profile consultant it had hired after its registration to supply painkillers, was threatened in 2018, is now the DEA administrator's top deputy Louis milian, the DEA has not responded to repeated questions from The Associated Press about its handling of the case, but two people familiar with the issue say that last week after the AP reached out to the DEA, the agency abruptly notified Morris and Dickinson that it has decided to revoke its registration to distribute control substances.

Dr. Simone Gold and John Strand on America's Infected Institutions
"Back. I'm talking to John strand and doctor Simone gold. And I love it. We were talking about, we've got the cultural marxists have done the long march through the institutions so that we get to this place where higher education and lower education have been utterly infected and destroyed. The medical establishment has given itself over to the devil and greed. Homeschooling your kids is kind of a quick and easy answer that anyone can do. Well, let's not say quick and easy. Well, whatever it is, believe me. It is utterly doable. And people say, I'm not qualified, you're totally wrong. You are totally wrong. You are more than qualified. But what about the medical establishment? That seems to me, you know, I can't, I can't do open heart surgery on myself or my kids. How does that work? Right. So we've been brainwashed into thinking that medicine is so different than every other discipline. It's so different, so complicated, you can't possibly understand it, Eric. I think Trump even kind of fell for that a little bit. It's a black box of medicine. Well, yeah, when he turned it over to Burks and crouching. But we've been training people for generations to believe that. But I'm a doctor and a lawyer. And I'm telling you, it is not much more complicated than other very complicated areas of life like tax, et cetera. What has gone wrong is that the institution that the insurance companies and the hospitals are now sitting on top of the doctor on top of the patient. But you can extricate yourself in that system, and you can hire a consultant like a go ahead. No, no, I just realized where you're going with this. Bureaucratic tyranny. You have started something called. Gold care dot com. Ha ha. It's a solution. We have a solution. No, no, seriously. I'm all about solutions. But seriously, Simone, the fact that you've done this, I thank God for you, because people want to know, and I'm not saying this is the only answer, but the thing is people realistically don't know where to turn.

Prophetic Glenn Beck Weighs In on Tucker Carlson's Contract Struggle
"Joining us now is the prophetic and the very wise Glenn Beck Glenn, thank you for making time and joining the program. Let's dive right into it Glenn, do you think Tucker Carlson is going to be able to get out of this contract mess the struggle that he has right now with Fox News? I have no idea what's in his contract. I just know that it is important to understand they did not fire him. He is still being paid and they did that for a reason. They'll continue to pay him. So we didn't fire you. You're still a consultant or whatever. And that's an intentional move, but I think he could fight that in court. I think it would take a while, but I think he could fight it in court and win. Unfortunately, the time that elapses is really precious time. I'm a huge fan of Tucker Carlson. I thought he was the only person that was on a platform the size of fox that was telling the truth, night after night after night. He is a crucial voice to all of us. And the Fox platform had to be dismantled because the left just can not handle other people having other opinions. And I thought he was very calm, collected and he's just wicked smart as well.

It's going to be called a New Hampshire. I'll be up there in the north country. I'm going to miss it. Got studio north established last year. So I can cover this year completely every day, driving down New Hampshire if I have to. Try to pass the liquor store outlets. Doctor governor said you knew about that last week because somebody's got to tell you about these rules. Somebody's got to tell you about these candidates. And somebody's got to follow what they do over the weekend, the former president was on the war room with his former aide Steve Bannon cut number one, taken out after governor desantis again. Donald Trump was Steve Bannon. Total assault. Because we're winning in the polls. If I wasn't the most there was 62 16. Well, the sanctus is failing Bentley. Rhonda saint ammonias. I mean, you know, it's always bad. You endorse somebody who's dead. He's the over his political career. He's going to be looking for a job. He'll be lucky to get a job. Comes to me begs me for an endorsement to give it to him. He ends up winning the election. Winning the nomination winning the election, by numbers that you wouldn't believe. I mean, he was so far down. He was gone. And then they shouted to him a couple of years later. Where do you run against the president? I have no comment. No comment means the answer is yes, right? But today I'm very interesting thing happened. He said he's going to form a committee. He's going to form moratorium. Exploratory committee to determine, well, that's the except because he was never looking at committees. Now he's looking at committees. It's amazing what being 40 down does. But this is the consultants and donors and back out. This is a guy who's going to make 30 donors are largely leaving him now, you know? I think in fact, I will tell you off the record. Off the record except for the millions of people that watch your show because you show us you show great. I mean, show us the war room it is. This guy's a warrior. It's whether they like him or not. It doesn't make any difference. But he is a warrior. There aren't too many. But what's happening is the donors are calling me right now because the donors follow the pulse and when they see a guy getting clobbered. Think of it. He was a lousy politician because before he met me before I gave him the endorsement. So he was at three.

The Vast Majority of Us Don't See Our Values Reflected in Government
"War is already starting, and I'm like, I'm like, jeez, this is not helpful. Where's the investment in Arizona? Nowhere. Where is the investment in Georgia? Nowhere. Where's the investment in Wisconsin? Okay, so desantis is running ads. Trump is running ads. Play cut 20. This is a Ron DeSantis ad against Donald Trump, play cut 20. Donald Trump is being attacked by a Democrat prosecutor in New York. So why is he spending millions attacking the Republican governor of Florida? Trump's stealing pages from the Biden Pelosi playbook, repeating lies about social security. Here's the truth from governor Ron DeSantis. We're not going to mess with social security as Republican. What did Trump say? Entitlements ever be on your plane. At some point they will be. We will take a look at that. Trump should fight Democrats not lie about governor desantis. What happened to Donald Trump never backed on me because responsible for the contents of the zed. So as a pro Ron DeSantis super PAC, not technically Ron DeSantis, but usually those things are done with winks and nods within kind of favorable circles because the ad war is just looming. I mean, consultants are going to make tons of money on this. You see, the incentive structure is the consultants want this race to happen. I'm not a consultant. I stand to gain all I stand again is more viewers than more downloads, I guess, if there's a primary. I don't care about that. I want my country back from these radical marxists that are vastly out of alignment with actually how Americans view the world. That's what makes me upset.

Tech Consultant Arrested in Killing of Cash App Founder Lee
"For some news out of California, specifically San Francisco, breaking now on the Mike Gallagher show. There's been an arrest made in the California murder of the cash app founder, a guy named bob Lee, the father of two. He was 43 years old. He was stabbed after two 30 in the morning, April 4th in a richly neighborhood of San Francisco, and you know what's really tragic about the story is that this tech mogul had recently moved out of San Francisco. He moved to Miami, Florida because he felt that San Francisco was turning into, well, the cesspool that it's turning into. He believed it was deteriorating. It was dangerous, and frightening, and he moved to Miami, but he was back in San Francisco on business while there has been an arrest made and the suspected killer is said to be a fellow tech worker who bob Lee knew. So more details are emerging. We're going to find out, but, you know, I guess that kind of changes the narrative a little bit that it was a random stabbing, according to early news reports, Lee allegedly knew his killer. So no motive yet, keep it posted. We'll keep you posted as more details become known,

Donald Trump Jr.: Politicians Are Beholden to Money
"Listen, I think the greatest thing in the world was watching corporate America go away from the Republican Party because they were pro America and America first, like, good. Don't take their money anymore. Then you don't owe them any favors. And that's the problem. You have all these people in politics, you know, they've never made a real living. They've never signed the front of a paycheck, only the back and their beholden to those donors. They need their money. That's their existence. That's what propels them to the next spot. That's what allows them to do their totally beholden to the money. And we need people who aren't and a big part of the Democrats tactic is to prevent someone else like a Donald Trump, whoever that may be who's been successful in the real world who understands how to actually negotiate, who has common sense and can get it done. Don't forget, Trump's accomplishments are so much better when you actually look at it under the lens of what was really going on, which is huge. The uni party, both sides going against him and trying to prevent him from doing what was right for America. You saw that with Paul Ryan trying to prevent the wall and not going far on these things you saw that with John McCain, shooting down the takedown of ObamaCare. Look what you had that all work out. There's no consequence for being a D.C. bureaucrat and being wrong. You sit it out one cycle, you work as a consultant, you get paid a lot of money to be a lobbyist and you go back to then running again. It's just different. You're right. You're right. Don, we're going to have to leave it there. All the best to you and the family. We are huge supporters of what the president has done for this country what he's going to do, and we're ready to get it going. Thank you very much, Scott. I appreciate that. All right, Don Trump Junior, ladies and gentlemen, good American patriot, great American patriot, and their fight the good fight every single day for us.

Rich Baris Claims Ron DeSantis Has "Scott Walkered" Himself
"The desantis thing. You said yesterday on I think Steve Bannon's program that Steve that you think Steve Bannon, I'm sorry, you think that Ron DeSantis Scott walker himself, what do you mean by that? So this was, again, if you go back and look at it, I don't think anybody can make anyone can objectively look at that video and not come to the same conclusion. This was a very managed. They spent 72 hours almost working on the response and then the quib that he threw in there like a zinger. It was supposed to be and look, he's going to run for president, right? So he's not running yet, but it's fair game. Trump's taking shots at you. You know, Barnes and he was talking about this last night. I totally agree. He's taking shots at you. You can take shots on him back. But if you want to explain to the Republican voter that you're serious and you understand where we are right now as a country, what we're facing, that this is a, you know, I hate to use this word, but that this is a war for the soul of the country. Then you need to be more serious in this. And he could have Ron DeSantis could add a big moment yesterday. Even though we waited, which he should not have, he could have had a big moment. That was a canned, very Scott walker like response for those who don't know what I'm talking about. Second presidential debate, Scott walker was once considered a very strong governor, strong candidate, the dark horse of anything. And he killed himself 48 hours after he made that mister president. We don't need an apprentice in The White House. Courtesy of George will's wife, who he handed his campaign to and she ran it in the ground, very much, by the way, the same group of people, the Paul Ryan consultant class that announced around Ron DeSantis. So it shouldn't surprise anybody that the kind of content you're getting out of Ron DeSantis is what we saw from Scott walker.

"My former pharaoh, so I can see that she would get easily stressed. But it was rough accepting that, okay, I'm a cat beaver consultant and I have a cat who took a 6 months to get her back to normal. And also just emotionally rap period that she would do that. And then I also have my youngest cat has non recognition aggression so that thing that when you take a cat to the vet and then they return the cat that's at home can sometimes not recognize them. And I do the standard thing that is popular of rub the scent on the one relative scent on the other and that works if it's a short visit if it's a long visit. It is not worked, so I'm actually doing some citizen science research, putting out forms, finding it from people, what you experience is because my experience is that the longer they're at the vet, the more issues is going to be when they come back and I've had to separate my cats anywhere from a couple days to a week and do many reintroductions, which is extremely stressful. So now I totally understand my clients are doing reintroductions and when they say, I am so tired and when is this going to be over? It's like, I get it. I know it is so stressful. But hang in there because they don't happen and you'll figure out how to manage the environment, and you'll figure out how to manage the situation. And the next time it happens, you'll be that much quicker because you know all of these things to fall back. But I get some clients who, you know, they just want a pretty quick answer, and I can give them some quick things. And then I get others who they're like, they are cat parents. I mean, this is these are their children, their four kids, and they're in it for the journey. And so whether it's, I help them for a couple months or whether they continue with me and we do things for months and months and years. They're always parenting their cats and they want to make sure they have the best for their cats, which is that's the journey I'm on too, being a cat parent figuring out the best for my cats. So you offer quite a range of different programs and I know with COVID, everybody's become more virtual and that kind of thing. What sort of classes or programs do you offer at this point in time?

People send questions ahead and we answer the questions through a Zoom chat and within an hour. And it either gives people the answers they need. And then the other things I have is I have webinars where some kind of topic, the newest one I have is on fearful of getting those unsocialized kittens to being how do you find that house cat in them?

Native America Calling
"consultant" Discussed on Native America Calling
"To give it some flexibility. imbue. A sincerity wherever we could and authenticity but also give it space to be its own unique place with its own people on its own sort of flavor. If you will sure, sure. Caleb, I appreciate your insights as well. We'll come back to you in just a few. I also want to introduce grace to the show right now. Once again, joining us from Portland Oregon is grace Dillon. She's the native consultant for the new film antlers and is a Professor of indigenous studies at Portland state university. Once again, she's honest nabe. Welcome back to native America calling grace. How are you? Doing very well. Manaa ede young, we hold each other up. Doing what it does look, we help each other as well and we will remain vigilant. So grace, I do have a do have just a couple of quick questions for you to get you acclimated with our listeners right now. So you worked on antlers. Can you tell us a little bit about this movie without going into any spoilers? Sure. It's a horror film, but I think it's a very sophisticated horror film that is engaging in both climate and environmental justice and then the interrelated aspects and our communities with sexual assault. And all of the other kinds of things that were known on leduc who wrote a book later on after we had done the film call to be a water protector, I really love her second line, which is the rise of the wendigo layers. And that's really what this film is about. So when working on a production like this, what does your work look like? Do you read the script and get to make changes or is it a bunch of discussions and we'll take us a little bit through that process, please? Sure. I was first contacted by Scott Cooper, who is the director of the film and simultaneously Guillermo del Toro who is the maker and creator of the spirit beasts, just amazing. And they invited me to be a part of this and at the time I thought, oh, you know, they'll just talk to me a little bit and that'll be the end of it. But instead the script that had been made, Scott sent to me and he said, please, if there are any changes or any redirections that you would like, let us know. And I went through and at first I was thinking, oh, you know, I'll do a little bit here a little bit there. And I ended up with 16 type pages single space of suggestion. For changes. And the amazing part of it was is that Scott Cooper and all of the rest of his crew really took that seriously and made every single one of those changes. You let me know I was also invited to the film set in order to discuss as they were doing scenes. If there was anything that off to me or not. And I was absolutely amazed by that. But I think part of it may have been that Scott Cooper with his other film hostiles had worked with Chris error, who Cheyenne arapaho and just an amazing indigenous filmmaker himself. And they've just become close friends. And so Chris air actually came onto the set and I was very humbled by his own mentoring of me and it was just an incredibly wonderful time. It has to be encouraging that you worked with an experienced crew who had already kind of had to do this dance a little bit, especially hearing how receptive they were to the changes that you made. Now, let's flip that around just a little bit right now, grace. Have you heard any responses from other on a snape about this film and how it uses language in the character of the wendigo? It will be very interesting. What I had, I could have spoken it myself, but Margaret Newton, who is just a very well loved and well admired initiative professor herself who teaches initiative and I think it's the university of Wisconsin or the university of so sorry. I forgot about that part. I think it's the university of Wisconsin. But I actually suggested for the voice over there is some voice over an initiative and I suggest that she be the one to go ahead and speak that. And she very graciously assented to that. We figured out some phrasing together. But she was the one that actually spoke in the film. So I thought that was another wonderful way of collaboration with our community. And I will be very, very interested to see what they say only the trailers are out right now. And we did take some license allegorically with some aspects of the wendigo. So that will be very intriguing to see. Following up a little bit on a few particular points that you made grace. I want to turn it back over to Caleb for just a quick second. Grace had a great support from the director and producers when she came back to the table with these edits and changes. Now Caleb, working with the producers that showtime, did you have a similar kind of relationship or were there any instances where you kind of had to push back and told the line a little bit? Well, like I said, I mean, I always felt supported. I always felt heard. And I think the challenge in my case was that the story had already been written. So if I, you know, if it was simply a line or a word that was easy to change or if I wanted to introduce some on the what that guy win your Seneca language in there, that was an easy addition. But something that was more challenging was when I thought that a scene was off base or inappropriate or inaccurate. And the challenge then would be, we need to get from point a to point B and still maintain the feeling or a sense of drama that this scene has within it, but now we need to rework some of the pieces inside of it. And to your question, they understood that what I was bringing to the table needed to be heated. Like I said, I felt respected and they always tried to work with me. But then the challenge would be, we still have to make this alteration within the framework.

In the first break, we were talking with Adrian Benjamin, she is the reconciliation adviser for the minotaur footwear company. Since Minnetonka's decision to move away from the cultural appropriation is what's making headlines, it seemed like a convenient place to start our conversation today, but I guess solidifying that point and in our broader discussion about native appropriation as we find ourselves smack dab in the middle of indigenous peoples day and well Halloween coming up right now. It's important to have a broader discussion about the overall representation of Native Americans. In the mainstream, and that brings us to our next guess right now joining us from a Sweden 6 nations territory just on the other side of the Canadian border is Caleb. Caleb Abrams. He is a Seneca consultant for the TV show Dexter. He's also a filmmaker and media artist. Once again, he's from the Seneca nation. Welcome to native America calling today Caleb. How are you doing? You always scan them. You always can. I'm happy to be here doing well. A couple of things to keep in mind. First and foremost, and I'm going to remind grace of this as well. No spoilers in these movies or TV shows that we're going to be talking about, okay, but going into any spoilers, Caleb, perhaps we can start with a little bit of background. How did the producers or writers get ahold of you to help with these key aspects of the Dexter storyline? Yes, great question. They actually sent me an email last November. They had already written the scripts. And they had their story put together and they were looking for their Seneca consulting. The this limited series will feature a fictional Seneca community and numerous Seneca characters. So they knew that they needed a consultant for the project and I was very fortunate to come up early in their search and they reached out to me with that offer. So I was reviewing scripts and offering feedback about really trying to flesh out the Seneca characters and Seneca community and Seneca story. Wherever possible make it more accurate, more human in many cases. It was a great process. The writers and producers were very receptive. They surprised me quite honestly with how willing to hear my notes in my feedback. That's my understanding that you've done other consultant work that ultimately helped set the pieces in place for this opportunity. I was wondering if you could give a little bit more background. Yes. So when I was when I was just starting in college, I produced a student film about the construction of the kinds of dam and its impact that ahead on the Seneca people. Constructed along the elegant river and forced the relocation of over 600 of our people. Included my father and grandparents, my uncles out of my extended family. In violation of the candidate with treaty of 1794. And I produced a student film on this I interviewed with my grandmother, my father. And we have other folks. And it was through that student film that I caught the attention of two PBS producers at a buffalo. And I think we're interested in producing a film on that very story. Broader context, of course, the full national one hour Doc. And I was brought on as a researcher first and was later promoted to associate producer of that film. But at the time, I was 2021, a college student who was feeling inspired by the reaction to my student sell, but I still didn't really see I didn't maybe see a path forward for myself. Making a career out of it. And that project really helped me. It was an on the job education. This awesome responsibility and I imagine one of the projects that will be most proud of throughout my entire career and it was one of the first pig opportunities I had. You mentioned having a sense of the huge responsibility that is on the consultant shoulders. Do you feel a lot of this pressure when you're doing work, let's say for Dexter? Oh, yeah. Absolutely. I mean, the name of that film that the kinzua Doc was called Lake of betrayal. And that was in 2013 that they reached out to me and man, I couldn't exhale until the film premiered in 2017. So for four years, I was I was proud of what we were doing. I was trying to do my best to represent our people, our community, my family. And that weight is very much present. Once again, in a different way with Dexter Dexter new blood it's different this time around because we're not representing a particular community. This isn't okay. This is an Allegheny. And these are characters in a fictional world in a fictional place, but these Seneca elements are very real. And I do feel an awesome responsibility, it's a great honor to represent our people on this iconic television show. Still absolutely surreal to be a part of it. But yes, I mean, there's a lot of I feel the weight of it. Absolutely. You know, I want our people to watch this and claim it for themselves. I want to feel seen by it and feel. I hope that they pick up on the references. I tried to involve as many of our artists and people and crafters wherever we could to make that those Seneca elements is authentic and real as possible. Before we bring grace into the conversation, one last thing that I wanted to follow up with that Caleb, but you mentioned that there was an executive decision to make exist around a fictional town as opposed to a real-life community. What was some of the reasoning for making that decision? Well, I know that the writers had written Dexter, this is no spoilers. These are in the trailers that are out currently. He's living under an alias in this new town in upstate New York. It's called iron Lake is the name of the town. It's a fictional town. And so it seemed to follow that any Seneca community that was nearby will also be fictional, but it was also very important to me that it'd be a fictional community to allow it to be.

It is with their i. Take -bility mulling roadmap. So they have a special roadmap modeling that that they have built. Yeah i have let me look at this. I have another one in the startup world consoles. I have technology. Startups and scallops acquire new customers by advertising their services using social media. That was another one. Let me see that was the the the salesforce club here. I helped launch media so it was focused. On one industry media companies to protect for digital disruption always struggled a little bit because it was not on a percent gear but okay to protect for digital disruption with salesforce as a transformational platform. Yeah i like that. I mean the key thing for me is that when the potential ideal client. Here's this they know what it means to them. So maybe they dan with what what that means the digital disruption because that means something to people in traditional media. I'm pretty sure they know exactly what that means right now but it but it is calling the the other thing that you've got there is. You've got what jonathan stark refers to as the rolodex moment. So that's where when the hear the positioning statement and you call it specifically who it is so big media the person you're talking to when you tell them you're positioning statement. They say okay. Do i know anybody in big media. Now i don't or yes i do. Okay kubik media. Maybe i can put you in touch with with my friend david. You know it triggers that. That's the really cool thing i think about that. Very specific positioning statement. Uncalled the met with us. Yeah absolutely that is a discussion. That i'm having with consultants. All the time is that they need to be very specific Just because i am telling them more but also to enable recommendations in a fast and furious way. I'm so yeah. If like in my my positioning statement is i teach consultants. The strategy to grow their revenue by standing out in the crowd market. It's probably not easy to explain for somebody but at least they know that i'm helping consultants to grow their business and So i think a lot of consultants underestimate the power over sharp positioning from a recommendation standpoint. If you a troubled or multiple audiences kind of stinging nobody really knows what you're doing or understands what the result or the output is that you can deliver them. They also more hesitating to recommend to other people absolutely absolutely. Yeah i've seen that in the past where somebody was trying to refer me and they say i'd not really sure what he does. It's something to do with marketing Who knows you know. And that's the problem with vague positioning apparatus. When you have that that laser sharp position as you call it and it's pain..

"Been incredibly narrow always in the decade on one audience with one pain and it has also emerged over the years. So it's not like you're choose one day for a particular old in particular pain that you can solve or transform it has evolved. If you again explain a little bit later on but people always get scared. Yes league but when i focus of what what happens off the two or three years of course you need to evolve all the diamond it raid. I'm iterating like almost every day. But i'm still staying in the same lane. I'm still focusing on the same audience but step by step I'm i'm of course. Also learning and people are having like with corona and now maybe more again in the post gerona they have new problems new challenges and you evolve all the time but in the same i would say space so positioning value. Proposition thought leadership and do that. Well then i the that's at least my personal experience but that's also what i'm seeing with. Michael seldon's you only need like seventy percents of your client facing time. And i will probably explain that to you later on both Always targeting. i've always been targeting. Hung on fifty percents Revenue and that is a new balance that that people need to get into. Hey that's an intriguing. Hundred injuries revenue. Talk talk about that. Yeah yeah so when. I start working with a consultant and of course. That's what happen to me in. The boss is that we look at what they're doing. Let's say that's the percents. And then i help them reducing that again. Step-by-step i i used to be more black and white slack a few years ago but today what i'm saying is be careful. How you of course you need to pay the bill so yukon like throw away everything you're doing and then all of a sudden be the new guy around the corner so you can do that step by step using lean principled switches. You test your new offering. You're focused offering your thefts that you validated youth rate. And and so on before. So what i'm trying to do with them is reduce their client facing time to and then help them to use that. Let's say in the beginning. Five ten fifteen twenty percent and then trying to build up to twenty five thirty percent and use that new time slot to develop the business with the principles i just explained so positioning sharpening. Value proposition thought leadership. And so. Step-by-step what i'm doing with them is is bringing them more upstream which is different than downstream. Downstream is doing like activities for your client and most of those downstream consultants are working for one two three clients and they do like employee like work or activities for them. And while i'm trying to reconstruct is is an upstream positioning an upstream value proposition. Which is more like strategic diagnostic advice at higher level and at the higher price points and by doing so trying to have a better revenue. Which gives you the. Let's call it the protection or the buffer to reduce your client facing time so that that's the that's the principal. I'm using in my work with consultants reduce facing time to build your business and by building the business of course doing that in an upstream package productized diced way.

Now i gotta say we just went on this beautiful discussion of what it was like to work. In the peace corps in areas of the world that have been war-torn even very recent times even currently. There's a lot of violence. And i saw play when i was at the edinburgh fringe festival in two thousand sixteen. Oh my gosh. How great is edinburgh there for like one week. One amazing city. It's yeah i've always said. I may have said this on the show. I joined a gym. 'cause i was there for a full month and it was in the basement of a building and then you realized this basement has been here for not not exaggerating one thousand years and now. It's just a gym. These buildings so old and beautiful. But i saw play. I wish i could see the name of it. There and i believe there was an incident where i don't think this is one of the. It was either kosovo or chechnya. I think maybe chechnya and there were terrorists. Who took over an elementary school and it was. This play was based on a real incident and it was intense. But anyway you're talking about serving in this part of the world we have a tangent about what it's like working with the romani people and you remember the question that led us down all of those beautiful rabbit holes is how do i become a public speaking consultant for rakia healers. Yes a while. Doing olive says. I'm on the spiritual awakening journey of my own light. Okay what is true. What is reality. What do i think about. All of those. And i came across the self help author and she mentioned working with a public speaking coach to prepare for her. I like bookstore and it was a full like.

Like i worked a lot of my friends. Have rents are political. Offices like The written books. They've helped them prep for like. That's what i should be doing. And then how do you do that. How you run a business. And like i had all of these conceptions about like not. The money was bad. But i think the real. Yeah like i really had a like elitist academic like no i am obviously. I was a peace corps volunteer. So i should sacrifice and not get paid like that the way and then it's really changed in the last three years. I realized that the more money you have the more good you can do in the world like. I think it would be much like. How cool would it be if you and i had tens of millions of dollars to distribute like. Oh if i had lane haulers to distribute stop like what would you do. What would you do it. You had ten million dollars to give away first of all. I'm not gonna lie to you because you're speaking with such nobility about how you'd immediately use that to sacrifice. I would keep more of it than you would. It sounds like and. I would do that to make sure that. My family is safe and protected for future generations. I would do that. I'm not gonna lie.

You can or cannot say about the bloodstains so you know we have to have a working knowledge of many other disciplines like firearms and pathology and things like that. Sometimes i work as a non testifying expert. Because i also have a lengthy medical background where i just kind of advise attorneys in the background. You know and i don't testify and then in other cases i do testify but contrary to popular opinion i would say that. I don't testify far more than i do. Many people think that expert witnesses are just hired guns to test. What the side that wants them to say. You know to to say it right and that's not really how it works. Well i can't wait adult into the court aspect of this because we do have a handful of questions for you as far as the expert witness on the testimony side but let's get a couple of baseline questions because i think a lot of our listeners and especially with the explosion of true crime everyone in their mother now has a true crime.

The way we the way he does now in pro obviously it appears a guy named gregg popovich thought that he could and knew more than i did so yeah. He ended up doing some things. But at the time we worked him out. We brought them in sacramento. I watched him over an nba workout and thought well. This guy is a good player but he just seems like an undersized four and i'm not too sure can play the perimeter. I was mistaken buddy. I was mistaken but is Russell shock or wilt. Well yeah i'm going with will you can't score hundred points. Yeah so i'll take well. I'll put shack engine out. Cut russ on that and unlike rust You know a story. A quick story about ross. Is that when i i had worked for. A coach named paul westphal own west of the paul was a mentor to me in the nba and he had coach charles. Barkley kevin johnson and dan marino's guys when they lost jordan in the finals and He was a mentor to me and so he was someone i really respected in. You'd mentioned before when he coached in college. Russell westbrook committed to come play for him. I wanna say it was pepper. Nine or lola marymount. It was the west coast school. And but that's the way the recruiting process works. Ucla had a guy who dropped out at the last minute rush. then left. Paul west falls commitment went to ucla. Instead that he made a play with. Darren collison as some real good players. But i'm paul was He was always sore about it because he's like an nba. Mvp come into play from the big west conference. But it didn't quite work out. Okay ray allen. Reggie miller steph curry. Yes steph steph. Just he's too much man he's off the triple. He almost changed. I i like i like reggie miller. He talked a lot of shipping. I enjoyed. he'll give it to the fans. He gave the choke to spike lee. That was look tainting. Yeah and and allen's hit big shots multiple teams. He with was the seattle supersonics back in day with the miami heat when he hit that shot in the corner. He's done so many things. But you know. I'm a northern california dude so steph curry's alleged out here and i think the world heaven you know i'll tell you. Another quick story is when we brought steph curry workout with sacramento kings. We into all yet. We brought a new with a number of other good guards. We brought a bunch of other good point guards in at the time. And including i believe week evans at the top and tyreek was too big for those gaps. So he was able to kind of use his size To blow to get to the rim and all and it didn't look as good for steph curry at the time but again you have to take those individual workouts the way you do with game film with a grain of salt and put them all together certainly steph.

"You have to put your pride to the side and you have too many entities in the philippines that are pulling the best players in different directions. The philippines has the town. The fans have the passion. They've got the coaching skill. Set there to compete. On the highest level would would minor standing has been as that you have different entities pulling the best players in different wretches whether it's toward the national team whether it's toward a professional team that's owned by one set of owners or professional team it's owned by another set of owners. The bottom line is these these people in i think that have all the influence have to set their pride aside and say we want the best philippine players to compete for our country. And we don't give a darn of it. Means our local or professional teams suffers this year or next year we want to philippines be represented with the best filipino players. And i think when that happens and you get everyone on board in the same way they're going to be some other countries realize the proficiency and skill filipino basketball. Because it's a whole shitload. Talent is the whole bunch of passion and once all those best players in those coaches kind of come together You're going to have a whole 'nother level of product pitch putting out against the rest of the world. And i've just seen it. Sometimes i think you have. A couple of players aren't able to participate here. They're more coaches. who doesn't contribute because different factions. So get those things squared away. Sky's the limit row. Now before we we do have some questions you know just fast questions the that comes to your mind. It just You know say it. So who do you consider the best filipino. Blair right now. Aside from june mark fard took the word of mouth. You know i wanna say jordan clarkson zephyr ya. He has some blood so favorite sacramento kings player. When you were with the team before francisco garcia. He's the coolest dude you ever wanted. Me guys don't know about him. As much he controlled the locker room. He was the leader. He was funny. And it's one of those guys don't know behind the scenes is really the man. Francisco garcia favorite coach do match wits swim favorite coach through. You know the coach that would motivate you if you see his name esteem off. I want to look. Let me say first of all. I loved competing against tim cone. Who got the best of me He beat me in a championship series. We both had good teams. I think the world of his ability to coach And so i enjoy competing against him and respect him so much that being said my favorite guy to compete against a guy named kevin is because he is my good friend and we go out until the strokes. And i'm trying to kill me. Kill me have beards afterward and talks to each other and he. He's my favorite compete against. Although i wanna make sure that the filipino fans no in terms of competing against come i knew i was competing against illegal level coach the p. player that you have had a hard time planning for a defense build. A wii belco would pick in pop with our hearts. We'd have jamal june mar and loved june but both bill would pick and pop to the top of the key which meant i had to come up with a coverage that could make jumar so on a pick and roll and get back to bo and i swear to god by the shot thirty percent against every other team but fell. He shot seventy percent against us from three point range. He busted our ass and i hated coaching against him. Because he picking up any histories and it drove me nuts and easy coke and then he has this tendency you know to do. Have this pump fake. Who looked like it was slow motion all room and lay it up and it hurt my feelings so much respect to both belga and and and man he he kicked my ass and i respected so we have nba questions here. So i'm not sure if you've seen this This neem before beginning your three players you choose. Who will you blame. Who will you bench. Who will you cut. Kevin garnett john s or. Go line. evan. Garnett or go. I leonard orca. Why well tough. But think kevin garnett is a he's won championships. he's seven feet he's He's got those leadership type skills to so he's going to bring a little more table. Kawhi leonard is a ferocious defensive player. and i love defense. So certainly he ranks up there high but Any has won a championship. But there was something about kevin garnett. Now one of my best friends who coaches. now's name was rex. Calamian is the head assistant sacramento kings. He's he's with with the the clippers before that we doc rivers and you'll hear his name rex claiming as an nba head coach near in the next couple of years and he share with me some special memories about kevin garnett and a type of player that he was but more than that type of man that he was in the locker room and what he did for other players and so i guess. I'm a little bit biased. That having him share that with me. I know kind of what would have did for him. And that means something. Now jonah a hell of a player. They call him the greek freak for reason. But you gotta win. You have to win some things Before i'm gonna go ahead and put your net corner so yeah i'm gonna go guys who've won in because i've heard a couple of things i would slightly say garden on So it would be guard. netflix bench. Go i and got janice corrupt this. So let me tell you when i had when kawai came out coli was coming out of Sending state university. He was a power forward so he was a straightforward man.

But we'd love basketball and basically we love it all is so we just real competitors The philippines when i moved to manila it was the first time i think i'd lived in a country. That basketball was their favorite sport. It i'll say hold on. Let me take a step back for your brother. Because when i was coaching in indonesia with the indonesia warriors went to play at the time to philippine patriots. Zoo era in the philippines. And we've taken a cab taxicab and while we're taking a cab me and a player with steve tops. And the taxi cab driver looked back at me in the philippines. Mind you and he said hey. You're the coach of the indonesia warriors and people. Indonesian didn't know that people in the philippines did it was because that's how popular basketball was there. And i eat. The guy caught me. Totally off. guard was like yeah. You're right but it was. Because that's how much basketball philippines dude knew who. I was for the other team and people in that country didn't know who i was so it was it i remember. We laughed about a good while we got back but he knew exactly. We knew the philippine people were serious about basketball and it was absolutely wonderful. It really was so you. You handled the sending killer thron wound up missing. What was the during that time. How how prepared to where you especially. You entered the team. That was kinda you know. Having some problems camera streetwise. That was an interesting endeavor for me. So i had been head coach for two years. I'd left the nba. I've been head coach for two years with indonesia had some some relative success however you want to quantify five that but And then the philippines Brought me over there. San miguel specifically. I think felt listen. Indonesia does never win here and we did so. I was approached by san miguel corporation at that. Going about joining them They were very professional. I let them know that the might that. I had a contract indonesia It was done and then they approached me and they were very professional I don't know exactly what the rules are specifically now Relative to before. But you couldn't have foreign coaches. I think as the head coach they brought me in As a consultant and Treated really well. I really worked so i. I have so much appreciation for san miguel corporation in how they treated me the dynamic of of having to be a consultant as opposed to the coach was a little bit tricky for me. It was the first time i've ever dealt with that type of dynamic. I was lucky to deal with the gi. Neil out francis chew up And i became good pals. When i was there. I don't know if you knew a l.

But i thought the world of him but the world of gm neela Ramon who was. Who was the president. And see the of the. Sami guilt team. I was really treated professionally there and absolutely loved. I wanted nothing more than to bring them a championship. Where you pressured when you entered the some when you enter the pba. Feel any pressure. At the time. I think you know when you're when you're a competitive. Nobody really puts more pressure on you than yourself and so i'm relentlessly on myself about what mistakes i made. I can come home after a win. And i you hear something. I've gotten good at it is. I don't read any media at all after.

"Because he looked out for me in the end and he me an opportunity to go interview with sacramento kings. And that was the beginning for me just getting a foot in the door in it came absolutely from the guy who opens the gym takes out the trash and does all the grinding things that she'd have done and so he gave me that opportunity and i respect him always and you describe to me. What does a coordinator to how what's the main job that's due in. It is a wonderful job kiko. It sounds like you're the guy. I realize finance. It may sound like the guy who puts The video clips that you see highlights and that's nothing about what it does. The video scout does and I went from being both the color. Video I was in an advanced scout. The goes on the road to see things scout us where i really feel like. I got my education basketball. I had already been division coach. I had learned the basics of how to teach offense defense at that level. But when i got to the nba was the real revelation in terms of the nuance differences. How quickly can recognize a defensive coverages or offensive sex When you have a thirty five second shot clock like the. Us does in college. Things took a longer time to develop any nba. You get down there in two or three seconds. They're already in the action that you want to get to. Whereas at the university level it may take them fifteen twenty seconds to get to that same action. So i felt like when i first went from the collegiate level or university level to the nba. It was moving so fast. It was tough for me to recognize and was a little bit intimidated. If i'm honest humana now of course you through the video scouting your time. Who was about a or the land or a defense. Hey i'll tell you right now. This is a real easy call for me. And you think your viewers won't expect what i'm going to say because you'd think listen. Kobe bryant kicked our ass. More times than i can even no coverage for a lebron james. When you're that good yeah. Some of these guys are so good but in terms of the meeting. So in coaches are getting together and discussing what type of coverages you want to use the most difficult player to prepare for dirk. Nowitzki dirk nowitzki Was a seven foot player. So i mean. He wasn't the tallest player in the league at the. But it's one of the toast any might have been the best shooter in the game. So when you're talking about a guy that at that size and that shooting ability in terms of coaching the way you decide to guard it changes everything and so we know it. Kobe's gonna do you know what lebron's going to do you know you can't guard him if they've got the ball in their hand and they're gonna take someone off the dribble every when he's the head toward them but when you're dealing with a guy who's seven foot one and the best shooter a whole nother issue of defensive principles you have to think about and so yeah crazy to your viewers but i've been in those meetings and deciding do your shown a pick and roll to your switch. Do you go under. stay with him. Those type of coverages. That coaches are thinking through and dirk. Is this impossible because when the tallest guy on the floor is the best shooter on the floor. The coverage that you have to choose to do can be tricky coaching perspective. And it's different. Like i said you can't guard lebron card. Toby because that's who they are as players but in terms of preparation known was worse than dirk to prepare for. Because there's nothing you can do with a seven foot one guy who should threes that way so that and being what made you decide to go to the other side of the world which is asia. Was it a hard decision for you. Just expression you are already in the nba and of course was a hard adjustment so i think there's a couple of questions there in terms of making a decision i really love my time and enjoyed my time in the nba. I had started out as the assistant video. A scout. become the video scout Advance scout where you travel before. The team does to watch the team. You're gonna play in a couple of days. And i'd be happy to break that down for us. Well but but that was. That was the first part Is is developing that skill set deciding to leave. The nba wasn't I was looking for a new adventure. I'm open was always open to see some of parts of the world and to go to indonesia from the nba. It did sound like a bit of a crazy move And i've spoken guys that. I really trusted at the time There was an owner of the philadelphia. Seventy sixers who assume indonesia as well as a mentor of mine Who is one of the assistant owners of the philadelphia. Seventy sixers team and We work together to try and kind of build something in so heading out there. I was scared to death I've seen things on the news in coming from america at had a all all the apprehensions you can imagine i really had those and I was just mistaken. I got indonesia and Mild was treated kindness and was treated with respect in their obviously some Cultural religious than every other kind of different you can imagine but my experience there was a highest level. And i'm very appreciative of fans. People i see and then Like you said you handle the. And then eat the indonesia warriors or the end you guided them to an nba ab l. championship. Will i mean how getting you know was it. Do you believe it was just or you. Consider your team a strong one. I suppose it's always going to be a combination of bills to I was very fortunate man. My first year. I had I had a team that was able to win the championship abroad in a veteran. Steve thomas who was really the anchor of our team he is. He's become one of my best friends in life so outside of basketball fans are with steven. Talk all the time. We mostly talk about barbecuing not about basketball. But i love the fact that we could talk about those times too and we share those times together. I was nervous. And i just did as best i could at the time But when i didn't understand is this. I think i knew the game of basketball. Kiko but i didn't know was The culture of southeast asia. So i went there thinking. Okay this is going to be right in. My wheelhouse. And i was entirely mistaken so i went. There realized i've got to do a whole lot of adjusting as a man has a human being and Understand that i'm going to different culture and respect their culture outside of trying to beat my opponents and so there was a combination of a things to navigate at that point in. I think some guys were able to do it in for some guys..

Thank you so much for having me brother. I appreciate you and Yeah i'm just blessed to be on here with you. So how are you doing right. The hope what all is. What's keeping coach todd. Birds you my spirit's feel-good kiko spirit. Good i'm out here in california as many of your viewers will know this corona virus has got things pretty rough out here So we're grinding through it. But it's fortunate time that i could spend some family. And i can't wait to get back out to asia of southeast asia and get to compete back some basketball. In the meantime. I'm trying to like everyone else. Mitigate the the events that we're going through okay so let's go back to the beginning. So how did basketball became part of your life where you a player or you actually ventured immediately into coaching. You know. I was a player. And i wasn't a particularly great player guy only about. I'm a five eight. Do about. And but i love the game and so i competed now like to be physical. I played mostly american football growing up own and the american basketball and in baseball but So going into it. I just loved competing playing sports. Unfortunate for mean. God did not bless me with the abilities. You'd wanna have to be a professional toll guy. i'm not an athletic guy I just love it. And so i learned to be a good player when i was a young man and quite frankly he got the gun new in high school. I was going to be a coach or a to be a coach because knew. I didn't have those attributes to really be a legit claire on a high level. So who are your basketball idol. When grow oh you. When i was a real young man Model was doctor jay. Hey in the early days different type of style to the game. That i thought was real cool solves. This young man A kid and watching falling in love with the game. Dr jay was was a big influence on me. I watched larry bird and magic. Johnson compete in my early days and then once i a reached about junior high school will michael jordan came on board and that changed everything so when mike came on we it was different. You watched up akeem olajuwon and some of the rockets teams compete a little bit but basically when mike born to be in the nba. He was just gonna stack chips. And so yeah. I was there to watch short shorts. Go two long shorts. I was there to watch the jordan once. Become a cool basketball shoe. And i fell in love with A really did so. Yeah after a new well. I'm not a great athlete. But i might be able to coach. I don't know so you know Looking at your coaching resume. How started you know one thing that you know the caught that tension my bench option was were the you became part of the nba an nba. Which is near sacramento kings. How were you able to get into. Nba it's very hard to be part of empty. I'll share the story with you man Here's what happened. We had a facility manager. I don't wanna put his name up there. But he was in charge of the facilities when i was coaching at sacramento state. University segment of state is considered a mid major. Because i think they don't have any quote low majors otherwise were low major division one second little state where i coached at did not have a great deal of success in terms of wins and losses also went to school. It's the truth nonetheless. I had an opportunity to cope. Stared mama modder later. We got a little bit better but we did a fellow who was in charge of silicates. And this is a lesson that i'd like to share with your viewers or anyone else about is just how you treat the next man and This this man was in charge of turning on things like the heat and the lights and make sure the court simplicity's were always available for practice time or for game time in those types of things and so we've had a few experiences. He and i did where things were. Your podcast journey starts here. Take the first step on your side hustle with us. It starts we a great domain gap. Your podcast web hosts with beard and coffee at www dot b. yard and coffee dot com dot au or find us at facebook as prepared as i'd hoped they would be and it trickles down. I was the low man on the totem pole and the coaching staff. So i'm the one that gets yelled at when it weren't repaired. Maybe weren't prepared. What the facilities guy was the one in charge. And i always respected him and i always knew working hard even though mistakes might have been made here in there so i never really got to upset at him. Will coincidentally would i didn't realize Is also the facilities manager for the sacramento kings in so He was also making sure that arco arena at the time was set up for the nba games and all and There were times where he and. I could've maybe had disagreements but you want to make sure that it's a grown man you keep all of your emotions kind of in check and even mistakes. We managed to work things out together. And i got a call one afternoon. I was having some sushi at my favorite sushi spot. Yeah with my uncle. And i got a call from this gentleman. Who said you know coach on this but also the facilities guy for the sacramento kings. They need somebody to come in and be hit video. Scout told me you might be able to do it so That was the beginning for me. In a the reason. I told you this story brother was because there were a number of times where i felt frustrated with this particular individual and Would he'd done. But i never lost my temper with it. I i always knew that. If i had to buy. Take the brunt of the gym not being ready. I was willing to do that. But i always treat him with. Respect and There were times where i was frustrated. Which still the next man with respect. And so. Eventually i got that phone call from this man who had watched out for me and i've known guess at that point that thank god i never really snapped or got. Hey got angry at this man..

"Warehouse members and as such every month. We get a magazine now. Several years ago this costco magazine was the only magazine. I read cover to cover. The articles were brilliant in depth filled with great information and advice and then a couple of years ago. They made an announcement that they were changing the focus of the magazine and change a lot of the staff. Unfortunately in my opinion the quality of the magazine went downhill. The articles just art that dynamic not helpful and recently there was the magazine the issue that had a couple of different articles. That really clarified for me. What i think their problem is why. I'm not drawn to this magazine into the articles. This particular issue had two different articles one on leaders which of course i'm going to be drawn to and another one on setting up your home gym which is obviously very pertinent for the times that were in sight. Read these articles. Evidently i still read the magazine almost from cover to cover. Like i used to because they still have something inside me that just says oh there's gotta be good stuff in here. There was for so many years. So i think i'm a die hard loyal fan. That just can't give it up so yes. I read these articles. What i found in both of these articles and probably some of the other ones that i didn't necessarily read thoroughly was that they are writing to the lowest common denominator. And that's what it felt like. It felt like some of the advice in some of the information they were talking about was really common sense that most people would know this and it would only be that lowest common denominator. That wouldn't some examples so in this article on leadership and how you can be successful as a leader without feeling like you have to be perfect. Some of the advice was you. Don't have to expect yourself to never make a mistake or as a leader. You don't have to expect yourself to know everything and as a leader. You don't have to try to be perfect because that must mean you're not sharp now. My work involves a lot about leadership. It's what we consult on and train on. We work with leadership teams in organizations helping them be better leaders through communication engagement feedback processes. And this just felt like. How will this article help anyone. If you are a leader in an organization any organization whether that is your company or it is your volunteer organization. It's a networking organization. It's the pta. whatever it is. How is this article actually going to help you. And the article on setting up your home. Gym fell very similar. their tips were determine. Your goals create a budget by the right equipment. I'm sorry if i'm setting up my home. Gem isn't all of that already the process. I'm going through. So is this article really for the person who is on the verge or getting ready to or is already in the middle of setting up their home gym or is it for that lowest common denominator audience of someone who might be some day in the far future. Thinking about this at o'hare some things put in your brain pan seven months down the line

"Like a marketing consultant and actually being an agency. The point so A lot of people, and I actually have people that work for me right now, Like when one of my digital marketers was like this, where she's an expert. She's very reputable in the market right now, like you could go look up her name and you'd be able to see that the market's yourself very well. However, once she started generating clients and getting out there, she didn't want to handle. No accounting and admin and support and dated a client communications and everything that goes with running the business. She just wanted to deal with getting the results and doing what she loved. She didn't She didn't realize that she kind of cell in tow, having to run a business, right? So in my opinion comes to the hard knock experience. As soon as I started, I realized there was a lot of opportunity and being able to do the other things that I'd done historically, or would be able to have through strategic partners that come in and work. These massive deals with us, right. So from that perspective, it's either You know, being able to deal with the business management hiring business development specialist to help you out of just Sticking with whatever you love and kind of like joining underneath something else that can support you. You know what I mean? I'm not sure what you think's been one of the hardest things because I think it's fun to talk about success. And you would choose a lot of success is this young person? But my question is, is the failures What you think's been like a big failure ops we've ever came. On. So I would say I mean, I've had three failed businesses, so it's not like I haven't gone into business before and just completely failed. Most of the time. It comes from lack of effort. There's been a few times so like, what's what she's my agency. Isn't I'm going to over half a million dollars in under a year of running it in the 11 months, we've been in business that was no profits, but that came from consistently hitting ceilings and then having to work through issues that would have held us back if I wasn't able to staff for hire mentors or You know, just kind of fix where I was weekend while I was going into influence to maintain influence. If that makes sense. I mean, common failure is in business to really just come from lack of effort. And just, you know, obviously like financial withdraws during those times, But this those buildings into the best of ourselves, You know, that's what allows you to be. Motivated him. How do you in the market how to build a team around you? Because I think when most people think about an agency I love how you break it down. Because if you make it sound so easy, So how do you get the people around You? Yes. That you can lock in the deal. Then you can essentially saying great. Here's my team is going to do this stuff. Do you hire them? Do you train them to find people that are already doing the work that you could bring in so Depends on the position right? Because some positions are people that I know that I've worked with. Historically, that might be able to still a hat that I need inside, Um, agency that I know congrats into other rules. And so it's like a relationship basis. Right majority of my team comes from already being experts already having results already being something themselves and that model where they necessary they don't necessarily want to keep Themselves in business to handle everything they want to come in and work with somebody. So so all 18 people that work for me right now they're all underneath me as W two employees and staff, But that being said, it's come from. I mean me getting referrals from other people on me going online, having the social media presence that I have to be able to say, I need an expert to come in, like who cannot hire and then those people sometimes coming house. Other times just been Maybe my office building. I find somebody that I've wanted to be like that. They come from all over. You just gotta keep your eyes open. Had a had a guy The other day $3.2 billion man, tell me that one of his best people he had ever hired originally came from a Dunkin Donuts. Hard workers, right? You gotta be able to see him. But I mean, voted shit up from a billionaire, huh? That's right, eh? So what do you think, is one of the biggest mistakes and you were a lot different entrepreneurs of all Levels of success. What it is a big mistake. Common mistake. You see, A lot of entrepreneurs makes thing. It was a lot doesn't mean it could be in the online marketing space could just be in general. If we're going like a zbig is we possibly can. I think it's really just undermining Like what you need to do in the market to really get and keep attention on yourself. Um, this is one thing Gran taught me is direct mentor ship from him that you know attention. Their greatest asset in business and obscure is our greatest problem, Meaning we always need to retain the ability to get attention and keep attention, and I really think people undermine that people. Business really try to either not not stay low key, but You know their activities in a day aren't geared towards things where they can stop and get attention. Along the way. I feel like a lot of people lose tens of thousands Hundreds, thousands millions of dollars.
