Ultraflex Football
A highlight from 43: Week 2 Recap
"Welcome to the Ultraflex Football Podcast. Move over Pat McAfee. There's no denying that we are here to spice up your life and never forget about the good times. I'm your host, Anthony Sutton. With me, as always, is Rob Green. Man, I wasn't prepared for that change. What's up? What's going on? And Viva Forever, Ryan Wheeler. I feel so much pressure. Now we got to be better than Pat McAfee. All right. Oh, we got the... Go ahead. No, he's actually like swearing on ESPN now, and he's got like Mike Greenberg, he swore on ESPN now because of McAfee. He's actually... A little more laid back now, huh? Yeah, he wears a tank top. He's very good for ESPN, in my opinion. Go ahead. He's spicing up Disney, huh? I think I saw, didn't they have to put him on like an extra delay versus normal? I mean, I wouldn't be surprised. He has to cut out the F words a little bit, I heard. Someone's got to tell him to stop the cursing. No. Why? That's what makes it fun. I'm like eight song titles through my album here, so. Oh, he's like, damn, you're doing song titles already? Yeah, I thought you had to say him first. Holy moly. All right, well, we're about to find out what your song titles were. So Tony messed up two weeks ago. He didn't get all the song titles in, so now he has an album to himself, but because this is a team sport, a team podcast, Rob and I now have to split apart, or a album between ourselves. So Rob and I have Good Charlotte, The Young and the Hopeless. My songs are A New Beginning, Lifestyle of the Rich and the Famous, Wondering, The Story of My Old Man, Girls and Boys, and My Bloody Valentine. Rob? I don't know, man. I'm not feeling good about this week. This is a lot. Seven songs and a half hour show. All right, I got Hold On, Riot Girl, Say Anything, The Day That I Die, The Young and the Hopeless, Emotionless, and Movin' On. Tony, we're all wondering, what do you have? You have the Spice Girls, my man. And I already, I've gotten already into the pod. I've already gotten Spice Up Your Life, Stop, Never Give Up on Good Times, Move Over, Denying, and Viva Forever. I still need to get in Too Much, Saturday Night Divas, Do It, and The Lady is a Vamp, which will probably be a difficult one. Hold on, can you say that one more time? What was that? The Lady is a Vamp. Like a vampire, assuming? What's a vamp? It's a vampire. And that's from the Spice World album. 1997 made me feel old AF. 97, wow. I remember watching the Spice World movie, the Spice Girls movie. I do not remember. Oh, you guys didn't have older sisters, that's why. No. All right, anyway. Movin' On. All right, speaking of Movin' On, the NFL schedule moved on. We are now in week two, so let's get to Football Talk. And I guess technically we're in week three, so we're going to recap week two. As always, we're going to start with the Bills game, go to the Titans game, and then kind of what else is going on. So, Rob, you were at the Bills Raiders game. What were your biggest takeaways? It was a fun home opener. The Bills got back to their winning ways with a nice, easy, I'd even want to say I was worried at the beginning. It was a little annoying that they fell behind 7 -0, but I was confident they would still pull it out. They did. Josh Allen ended up AFC Offensive Player of the Week, I think the 11th time in his career now, which is pretty impressive. Wow, the franchise record. Oh, I didn't know that. Nice stat. You beat Jim Kelly, it was 10 times. Well, pretty nice. Feels like a new beginning for the Bills, for sure. Nice, Ryan. Where was I going with that? I told you guys a stat yesterday, actually, that surprised me, but Josh Allen is number one in completion percentage so far this year. I know it's only two games in, but fun little tidbit there. It's crazy how much can change week by week in the NFL, and it's going to happen again this week. If the Bills were to lose to Washington and go 1 -2, then it almost feels like the game, I know it wouldn't be a must -win, but it feels like the game against the Dolphins the following week would feel like a must -win. That way, they're not 1 -3 and that far behind the Dolphins, but yeah, it's crazy how much can change in one week in the NFL. Oh, show. My biggest takeaway, and I said it last week, kind of a similar takeaway for me was last year it felt like we never got pressure on the quarterback. This year, it feels like we're constantly getting the opposing quarterback pressure, and it feels like our offensive line is playing well, so big task, which is we're physical, we can run the ball, we can block, we can get pressure. It's a good change of pace. I don't know, honestly, I'm not smart enough to tell you if McDermott's play calling is a factor in that, or if it's just Leonard Floyd, hopefully his ankle's okay, is better, and Ed Oliver's having a better year, so on and so forth. Yes, I saw his average depth of tackle is negative yards right now, which is impressive. So his average tackle is a tackle for a loss. That's awesome. That's literally the definition of blowing up a play. So yeah, it's exciting. Obviously, this win means something, but it doesn't really if you go and lose to Washington, so got to two and one. Two and one, by the way. Oh, yeah. I think everyone does the thing where you kind of... Did we just lose our host? It kind of looks like a frozen face there. Okay. Hey, frozen face. Oh, Rob, it's you and I. Let's do this thing. All right. So I didn't get to talk about the Titans at all. Can we say anything now, because he's gone? Yeah, we can say anything. Say anything, say anything. Sorry, I can't sneak any of these. Good Charlotte. Anywho, girls and boys, my takeaway is that the Titans are who I thought they were. The team that... I guess who a lot of Titans fans thought they were. The team that's probably... You are who we thought you were. Welcome back, Anthony. Thanks. They're the team that's going to beat the good teams and lose to the teams they should beat. And that's how it feels like the Titans have always been. They keep every game close. They have a shot. They have a chance in every game. So they're not quite the young and the hopeless, but they're just maybe like the mediocre. No, they're not the young and the hopeless. Oh, I thought that was one of my song titles. That's the... Oh, no. Oh, no. Clearly. Well, okay. I guess I can cross that one off my list then. Anywho, you know who else I was impressed with was the Falcons. They play a certain brand of football. It's the NFC Titans. I think I have to be a fan of the Falcons now. But just ground and pound, they came back. They were able to pull that one out in Green Bay. So... Yeah. The Falcons. To your point, there's not many teams, I feel like, in the NFL that have an identity, like a true identity. The Falcons are one that you know exactly what you're getting every week. And that could be really good or it could be really bad. Oh, for sure. One of my week two takeaways is prior to the season, it was always... And I was the one on this podcast kind of leading the charge is how good the AFC is gonna be. And then if like through two weeks, which is, again, a small sample size, it feels like the 49ers, Eagles, and Cowboys are playing just as well as anybody. And they're all in the NFC. Now, the NFC doesn't have much else to offer, but those three teams are gonna be very formidable to whoever comes out of the AFC come Super Bowl time. Yeah. At this point, their high -end talent almost seems better than the AFC with a lot of the top teams in the AFC struggling. So... Do you guys think that three of the top five teams in the NFL are NFC teams? Maybe even three of the top four teams in the NFL? I think that's fair right now. Yeah. That's crazy, isn't it? Because before the season, it was like, the AFC is so strong, so good. They have all the good quarterbacks and two weeks is a pretty small sample size, but I think... I think at this point, yeah, it's safe to say those three teams are top five. I don't even know who you would put... I mean, I guess the Dolphins are probably the best team in the AFC at the moment. I mean, the Chiefs scored 17 points against the Jaguars. And I mean, the Bills looked very good last week, but you can't ignore how poorly they looked the first week on offense. So... And then obviously, the Bengals Chargers being 0 -2 hurts the AFC's, I guess, power rankings or however you want to look at it. And then Rogers being hurt. Those are three teams that I thought were going to have a very good season. They still might. Maybe not the Jets, but the Chargers and the Bengals.

Music helps you retain things better. You also get away with a lot more repetition in a song than you do if you were just saying something over and over.

hour podcast some of us have to work tomorrow all right here we go let's jump right into 1967 musical events in 1967 and the year kicks off right away with a bomb a bomb on January 4th the doors release can arguably one of the greatest debut records ever arguably if you had a top 25 greatest debut that albums would have to be in the top 10 it would have to be yeah you know if you had a top 50 that would have to be in the top 10 right even if you don't like them you have to say that was so ahead of its time oh it's so different nothing out there was like the needle and all you hear it kicks I mean fucking what a way to start an album it's a heavy song it with a bossa nova beat yeah I mean that's pretty clever yeah 67 so you know bossa nova was pretty hip again John Densmore over underrated underrated underappreciated I think you are you are so correct you know never gets the the the consideration that I I don't know you can't put him in greatest of all time but could he be okay if there's a top there's a top 25 drummer top 25 drummers is he in it good question and in rock we'll just say in rock I think he could be I could see him making so I don't know if he's a universal pick but I could see him on some list I mean he's something you'd have to think about like you said like it doesn't get noticed so much you know yeah yeah or it I mean although his drumming wasn't shy I mean he's jazzy as hell I heard um writers on the storm yesterday and his adjustment playing is great in his adjustments during the shows just for that yeah yeah the unpredictability of you know how the how the song was gonna go right because they could rehearse it all they want once Morrison got into that zone well in the drama keeps the beat right yeah yeah the drummer has to stay up with that yeah and played to the clown so to speak right you know and my my problem is if some of the clowns don't have the beat you know at one point they've got to give in like I said Morrison or even Dylan they'll set the tone but they've got to be steady themselves you know it's yeah otherwise it's just erratic but you know yeah guy like Dan's more I mean I had skill I had a lot of a lot of technical ability right feel yes cool so obviously his drums always sounded good yeah on the earlier on the other records even you know three years worth of music whatever I guess I would be who produced some Jack Holtzman was the producer did a good job Jekyll or now wait so no what was it Paul Rothchild yes yes yes I'm sorry Holtzman was he on the record company yeah yeah was that it was that chrysalis or chrysalis I think or just like yes that's a lecture a lecture weren't they on chrysalis though also I thought they were yeah maybe maybe chrysalis was a subsidiary but uh yeah Jack Holtzman's son is Adam Holtzman he's a keyboardist right now he plays with here we go Stephen Wilson but he does a little blog on Facebook and he talks about growing up and he was like six years old and his father brought him to a club to see the tour Wow at six years old he just talks about like yeah it's a great little blog Wow all right and four days later on January 8th Elvis Presley turned 32 on January 14th the human be in right the human be e -i -n human being takes place in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park polo fields with spoken words from Timothy Leary Allen Ginsberg Gary Snyder in others live music was provided by Jefferson Airplane the Grateful Dead Big Brother in the holding company and Quicksilver Messenger Service speeches from Jerry Rubin and others were also given at the event although it's one band there I liked yeah Quicksilver Messenger Service who was it on January 15th 1967 who is your favorite poet of all them I know you're not asking me Arthur Rimbaud who influenced Jim Morrison good answer good answer way to bring that first opening segment rough full circle we're getting better Scott we're good now you guys get a lot of good trust me I'm getting a lot of good feedback so let's keep it at that I don't want you son ask for more money and on January 15th 1967 the Rolling Stones appear on the Ed Sullivan show at Ed Sullivan's request finish it he asked them to let's spend sing let's spend some time together is that the one there you go yeah and then he told him a really big shoe I hate to do this I mean I come back on penalty box I don't say just he beat my record okay look he just got on the show after late and these are either he's stuck he's frozen put the dog nose back on where'd it go are you throw it at the camera like your headphones on January 16th 1967 the monkeys begin work on headquarters the first album to give them complete artistic and technical control over their material and it was fucking horrible fucking horrible what were they thinking they know they were thinking the egos got too big they thought they were the music well the argument can be made that you know Mike Nesmith did write different drum yeah so he could write songs but I don't think he was a pop songwriter you know headquarters and they try to be all fucking like 60 ish and shit they weren't looking for pop were they they're trying to be like more psychedelic yeah I think so there were their channel on the Beatles with those quirky little yeah with anti -grizzelles on that I don't know some weird shit I'll tell you what though I don't care about it myself but it was surely a harpsichord on it because that's what all those records had they had to have a harpsichord and I have the book this the 100 best -selling records of the 60s the monkeys got a they've had quite a few albums on there oh they do yeah they were they were but I mean I thought it was just a condensed period of the show which it probably was but it's still I mean they've got I mean most of their albums sold really well yeah yeah ah you like the show what's it is like the show I did I still like it I still love it I love that that that's so that humor is great like dumbed down brilliantly done though humor yeah way was what they were supposed to act like that yeah you know what I mean there was no like these guys are bad actors they knew exactly how to do that they pulled it off great it was campy it was great for its time it's still great to watch now yeah I do think that banana splits were a better band yeah that's I'll give you the banana

The Legendary Trucker Ed Spills Secrets From the Early Days of Hair Radio
"Is my great honor to bring back to the broadcast one of the original players in the HairRadio .com story, Trucker Ed. Good morning, Trucker Ed. Good morning, my buddy. Good morning. Good morning. How are you? Well, I'm doing great. One of the reasons why I invited you on this morning is I want the fans of the Hair Radio Morning Show to get to know all of us, the hosts, the program folks. And I think that the best way to do that was to just talk to the folks who know us best, folks in our everyday lives, when we turn the mic off 9 at o 'clock Eastern and we go about the other parts of our life. And you are one of those members of my extended family. Sure. So I have to go back a little bit. And we call you Trucker Ed, because you've been on the show and our fans know you as Trucker Ed. Well, Ed and I go back decades. Ed, I don't even know where to begin with the Hair Radio story, but you've been there since the beginning. The beginning. Yes, I remember that. What can you share with folks about the early days? Feel free. Go ahead. Don't get so many trade secrets away. No, that's too many. Take it away. Oh, man. Yeah, I remember us back in the day, like we was in Newark and we had our, you know, that's where it all began, down there in Newark. That's right. And the Ironbound section of Newark. Yes. Uh -huh. Yeah. That's right. It really was. It was so much fun back then. And it was a third floor walk -up, if I recall. It was like, I think it was the third floor, second or third floor. It was way up, many steps. And I remember we were doing, we didn't start with the Hair Radio show, we were doing center stage. And we would have on the celebrities like Little Susie and Local. She had a big hit record though, back in the day. Yes, she did. Oh yeah. She was popular back then. Exactly. She was popular. And we, uh, CeCe Tennyson came and brought her manager. Oh, I remember that. Yes, that was the early, early days. Yeah. I was able to shake her hand and everything. Oh my. Yeah. Oh yeah. You remember that? You were, were you at the office when she came? You're kidding. Yeah, I was there. Yeah, I was there when she came. Wow. I can't forget that. Wow. She was so, she was beautiful, still is. Yes. And her manager, quite a nice fellow. And we all were, we, Ed, I don't know if you remember this, but they used to, we, we had our office on the third floor. Next to us were these guys who did the weather. That's all they did. Oh, I remember that. The radio. Remember the, so they gave me the microphone to use for CeCe Tennyson's interview, her very first interview. Not the one that you guys hear now on the Hair Radio Morning Show, but the very, very first time she ever did our show. And we were all huddled around one mic, literally all huddled around one microphone. I'll never forget it. That was the beginning of Hair Radio, man. That was the beginning of Hair Radio, and she arrived in a big limo. Do you remember she arrived in a big limo? Oh yeah, I remember that. Yeah. That's right. Oh yeah. She was, she was fantastic. I loved it. It was really a great time.

What Makes One City Better Than Another? Broker Ed Del Beccaro Weighs In
"From a broker's perspective, what makes one city better than another? Talk specifically about that approval process. Let's talk about that. First, we should talk about regional. So my workforce, we use what we call the phrase 360 commute shed. So depending upon the kind of tenant, so the original migration of tenants in the 80s and early 90s was from San Francisco to the greater East Bay. That's why you saw all the buildings built in San Ramon, Pleasanton, 680 Coroner, places like that. And one reason they moved is their workforce was there. So they followed the workforce in that case. So it wasn't that they didn't like San Francisco. So that's Chevron. That was Wells Fargo. That was B of A, Metropolitan Life Insurance, all the big users in that area. So they actually followed the workforce. And one reason why you follow your workforce, there's studies that if you have a one way commute of over an hour and 10 minutes or an hour and a half one way, you're going to lose 40 to 50 percent of your workforce. Therefore, I might love San Francisco or might love downtown L .A., but I have to go where I think I can get my workforce. And where's my workforce of the future? So first of all, it's a regional decision before it's a city decision. So even if I locate in a city as central as Walnut Creek, I might have some of my workforce coming from Fairfield, Benicia, Richmond, Oakland, South San Francisco and Tri -Valley. So what then? So therefore, the first question is, where is my workforce? Where is my future workforce? To answer the second question of where is my future workforce? I have a salary range that I can afford as a company. And the current insurance and banks are usually in the 60 to 130 thousand range. You then work that backwards. And if I hire somebody for one hundred thousand, one hundred twenty thousand, will that person be able to pay rent or buy a house in a given region? If they can't, if their average rental, if the average apartment rents are forty thousand a year, if the average mortgage is five thousand a year, five thousand a month, rather, then I have to move further afield. So that's why you see companies now leaving the inner bay, going to Sacramento and Austin region. Then within a region, once a decision is made that I can, my current workforce is in a given region, let's say East Bay. Then let's say the second thing is I know that I can afford my workforce over the next 10 years to live there and pay them the market rates. Then what city do I go to within a sub region? There, every city is the best when you ask the cities, but then we make decisions based on location to transportation, locations relative to interchanges, locations relative to barred mass transit. Because again, if I have people coming in from 360 degrees, 20 miles, let's say to 40 miles away from any given point, if I'm in Fairfield, how do I get to East County? If I'm in Fairfield, how do I get to San Ramon? If I'm in Tracy, how do I get to Walnut Creek? Or if I'm in Fremont, how do I get to Walnut Creek? So then we tried to centrally locate where most of those workers are. And then within that region, what cities have the better approval process? Because the new kinds of tenants that are coming into the region are not the back office tenants. That was pretty simple build out. Cubes, called them Dilbert Farms. That's what you saw the original migration wave. Now we have laboratories, we have more involved IT, more involved investment in infrastructure and more complicated uses. So then the question is, if we're going to grow and expand, what city next to a transportation central can best accommodate our strategy of expansion and with approvals? And then second, what's the business environment? Some cities, unfortunately, in our area have raised their business payroll tax to extraordinarily high. They're in effect, some companies won't go there. You go next door.

Capstone Conversation
Ed Del Beccaro Shares a Broker's Perspective on Economic Development
"Going to introduce Ed DelBaccaro of TRI Commercial Real Estate. Why are we talking to a commercial broker? Part of that is because for economic development to happen, there are multiple partners and a city has to get the perspective of a broker because they are the ones that look for not only the locations for cities, but the time to approve permits, the possibility of zoning and the problems zoning may. So I think you're going to find this an interesting take on how does a broker finding locations for clients, creating employment opportunities for cities. How do they want to work with cities and how could a city better work with that broker? Thank you for joining us on today's Capstone Conversation. Ed is the San Francisco Bay Area Regional Manager for TRI Commercial Offices. He is personally out of the Walnut Creek area, but the region serves San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose among everything in between those three cities. He specializes in office sales, medical, retail properties and mixed use space. He has over 40 years in the space. He is the vice chair of the East Bay Development Association. He is a board member of the East Bay Leadership Council, and he is a member of the Diablo Valley Tech Institute, among other things that he could talk about in his background. Ed, do you want to tell us a little bit more about yourself today? Thank Yes. you, Jared. As you mentioned, I've been in the real estate space 40 plus years, whether it's a commercial broker offering commercial record services, I've also been in the property management space where I ran a property management division, managed some of my own buildings. I also do project consulting, and I also do consulting to cities and some developers or tenants. So I went to school out here, stayed. I was a philosophy major, which is why I'm in commercial real estate, married with three kids and four grandkids. Great. And if our audience is wondering, why are we talking to a commercial broker today when we've been talking to mayors, city councilmen, chamber executives? Today is to get a broker perspective on economic development and the permit process. How could cities work with brokers? How can they partner with the real estate community to learn and better develop their cities into the best that they can be? That's actually a very good question. My day job is to assist companies in either relocating into our region or retaining companies. And the second part of the day job is to advise owners and developers where to invest and put their buildings. Where are the economic drivers going? What kinds of tenants and tenants are different? A insurance company is different from a bank is different from a life science is different from a advanced manufacturing. So there's all kinds of factors that go into that decision, whether you're the tenant, the user, or whether you're the developer owner who hosts the building. And it's not just I have a vacant piece of property or a vacant building, build it and they will come. So therefore, we live in the future as commercial brokers. We're looking at I just got off a Zoom call with a major hospital that I represent and we're talking about 225 and 230 timelines as to when we move and plan. And then what are the parameters and what is what do they need in terms of infrastructure and where? So we literally live two to five years down the road, which is the horizon of several of the economic development directors, so we can assist with that.

Fresh update on "ed" discussed on Stephanie Miller
"Good morning, I'm Ed Donohue. One week into a at strike three by autoworkers plants, the walkout is being expanded. United Autoworkers Union President Sean Fain says progress is being made in talks with Ford. There hasn't been much progress in Stellantis. All of the parts distribution facilities at General Motors and Stellantis are being to stand up and strike. We will be striking 38 locations across 20 states across all nine regions of the UAW. Workers are already on strike at a Ford near factory Detroit, a GM plant outside St. Louis, and a Stellantis Jeep plant in Toledo, Ohio. New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez is again facing federal charges. Here's the AP's Sagar Magani. Menendez and his wife have been indicted on bribery charges. Prosecutors say a search of their home turned up $100 ,000 in gold bars and $480 ,000 in hidden cash. The new charges are unrelated to a case six years ago when a jury deadlocked over whether Menendez accepted lavish gifts from a friend to pressure government officials. The Senate Historical Office says the Democrat appears to be the first sitting US Senator indicted on two unrelated criminal elections. Menendez is facing reelection next year with Democrats holding a slim Senate majority. Sagar Magani, Washington.

The market is still headed for its worst week in six months. S &P The S 500 was up 0 .2 % early Friday. The Dow was a little changed. The Nasdaq Composite rose 0 0 .5 %. All three indexes are coming off a steep slide that was caused by the stock market's growing understanding that interest rates aren't likely to come down much any time soon. Treasury yields eased a bit after jumping the earlier week in to their highest levels in more than a decade. The yield on the 10 -year Treasury note, which helped set mortgage rates, edged the week. That rate is still near its highest level since 2007. the year. Elastic slumped 10%.

Rep. Ken Buck Eyes CNN Job While Criticizing Biden Impeachment Inquiry
"The probe launched last week in a Biden's alleged corruption including with a September 15 Washington Post op -ed that other Republicans said included glaring inaccuracies. Buck said privately last month that he was interested in a job at CNN. The source told The Post. After he weighed other options over the past year including joining a DC -based law firm or seeking Biden's nomination to the Federal Trade Commission. I guess he's gotten close to the Biden administration because he wants things. Buck 64 confirmed to The Post he's exploring his options and said it would be great to join CNN. That other head case, Kingsley, was CNN producer MSNBC one of them. Buck said in a phone interview quote I'm interested that recently. news organizations, I don't want to call them left, but sort of left center and having an opportunity to do that full time or do that as a contributor would be great Buck said in a phone interview. Congressman called back later in the day to say that he'd also expressed interest in a position of right -leaning Fox News or Newsmax. It didn't want to give you the impression that I've only talked to folks at CNN on the left. I've also talked to others about this and Buck represents a vast rural district that spans the entire eastern border of the Rocky Mountain State and said Tuesday it was unclear if he will leave office this Congress, Fox next Congress or whatever. I'd vote his ass out. If he's not sure he wants to represent you, then you should be sure that you don't want him to represent you because obviously his interests elsewhere. In my personal view, just my opinion is affecting his outlook. I want to say

Firefighter Cancer: Diane Cotter Describes Her Husband's Harrowing Diagnosis
"Diane Carter is a self -taught citizen activist who's upright focused and determined efforts in support of her husband fire lieutenant Paul Carter during and after their battle against Paul's occupational cancer served as the inspiration for the documentary Burned protecting the protectors by filmmaker Elijah Yetter Bowman and award -winning actor Mark Ruffalo executive producer. Diane is the ultimate standard bearer a smart outspoken and fearless woman who continues to march at the head of her six -year campaign to remove PFAS forever chemicals from the gear worn by today's firefighters. No less an authority that Ed Kelly general president of the IAFF has properly called Diane Carter the firefighter's hero. The firefighters hero that's uh some big big shoes to fill so Diane tell us your story first of all welcome thanks for being with us I actually watched a movie yesterday that you sent us and I had to pause several times because I was so overwhelmed and so pissed off a couple times good um yeah so we'll talk about the movie but first tell us your story can you give us your background a little bit sure thank you I'm glad to meet you ladies finally in person big follower of the show I love it I love what you do I love that spouses and significant others are involved because um that's what I am that's all that I am it's a it's a fire wife I have no formal education I did get my hairdressers license some years ago and I was the worst hairdresser in the world so I didn't go far but I stayed at home and raised our children until they were about 10 and 11. Paul got on the fire department in 1988 when our son was two months old and our daughter was 18 months old our son is now a firefighter in the same department my husband served at now works in the same station in Worcester they had a beautiful beautiful life we embraced everything that we loved about the fire service his friends became my friends their wives became my my best friends we vacation with them etc. Paul had spent 25 years on the rescue in Worcester he had a 28 -year career at age 55 he decided it was time to climb the ladder so he took the lieutenant's exam and he made lieutenant and he was pretty disappointed because that meant that he'd leave his crew and he had worked with this crew you know on the same shift for 25 years they'd gone through a lot together the Worcester warehouse fire they've gone through so much together at any event we went on vacation with our firefighter families to moosehead lake up in maine and we came back to a beautiful ceremony in Worcester city hall when my husband was promoted to lieutenant along with one of his best buddies and the rescue saw him off and it was wonderful Paul was getting ready getting prepared to go back on to a new rig and he had an appointment to see a doctor because he was going in for cataract surgery his pre -exam showed that he had just a very slightly elevated number in his psa for prostate he had that check regularly as he did a lot of checks for his health because he was a very fitness aware person at any event he did get the call to come in they wanted a biopsy and i thought nothing about a biopsy because to look at him he literally looked like a 45 -year -old at 55 he was very fit very very strong and the picture of health we went to the doctor's office and i can remember that day because i was just so adamant to get this over with this appointment because i had things to do and we were making small talk with the doctor and we were in the tiny doctor's office room the exam room and out of nowhere the doctor said yep it's cancer and in that moment that moment i can remember because i remember i screamed and i fell into the chair and Paul who's almost six feet tall he broke out in this sweat all over his body i could just see the beads of sweat come out from everywhere on him and he sunk into a chair he tore his shirt off and he sunk into a chair and i can remember the doctor talking for 45 minutes and i'm crying and Paul's looking at me looking at the doctor looking at me looking at the doctor and we didn't hear a word he said
The Podcast On Podcasting
A highlight from Ep378: Ed Mylett's Simple Strategy To Reach Goals Faster
"Go out and have that one conversation, that one decision to make, that one coaching call, that one book to read, that one event to go to. And it's going to be completely, totally life -changing for you, for your business, for your podcast, for your help, for your spirituality, or whatever it is. Most hosts never achieve the results they hoped for. They're falling short on listenership and monetization, meaning their message isn't being heard and their show ends up costing them money. This podcast was created to help you grow your listenership and make money while you're at it. Get ready to take notes. Here's your host, Adam Adams. Hey, podcaster. It's Adam Adams, and I'm excited to share something with you, something that I think was like a real, something on Facebook or Instagram. And I believe it was Ed Mallette. I watched it a few times and it was really powerful. I shared it with a couple of friends and I thought it would probably help you as well. And so Ed Mallette, apparently, I think he was having a conversation with his dad. I think he was telling his dad like, hey, this is what I want to do. This is one day I want to do. And his dad said, you're not as far away from those dreams as you think. And Ed was like, what do you mean? As long as you look at it as that goal is far away, each and every day, and I'm paraphrasing, of course, each and every day, you will act as if it's far away. And so it'll have less urgency in your brain. The psychology that you have will hold you away from that because you think that goal is hard to find. It's hard to get to. It's almost unreachable. It's not today. It's a long time from now. But if you keep thinking that, if you keep believing that goal of yours is a long way away, you're going to keep acting as if it's a long way away. It's going to take way too long for you to find it, for you to achieve it, for you to experience what's on the other hand. So take a second, take a minute with me now, maybe even pause the podcast for a sec. And during that time that you are thinking, I want you to envision your goal. I want you to see where you want to be with your podcast or with your health or with your business or with your family or other relationships. I want you to visualize and imagine it happening right now. And then when we get off of this episode today, I want you to go directly for that goal and imagine that it's a lot closer than you think. And that's going to help you each and every day to do the things that you need to do in order to make that goal more reachable. Ed Millet goes on to say, the guy who interviewed him said, you know, what do we need to do in order to do that? What do I have to do? What does the listener have to do in order to truly imagine that? And says, first of all, the thing that you really need to do is you need to start believing that you're only one conversation away. You're only one phone call away. You're only one client away. You're only one book that you read away from a totally different life. You're only one decision away. You're only one day away from a different life. So jump off this podcast, take some time, close your eyes, envision that goal. Imagine it being much closer than you think that it is. Imagine it being reachable and then go out and have that one conversation, that one decision to make, that one coaching call, that one book to read, that one event to go to. And it's going to be completely, totally life -changing for you, for your business, for your podcast, for your health, for your spirituality or whatever it is. That was powerful for me. And I hope that you get off of the podcast episode, close your eyes and definitely just see what it is that you need to do. Because you're so much closer, like Ed says, you're so much closer to that goal than you really think. One decision away. I'll see you in the next episode. Oh, hey, because three of my clients came to me recently looking to find a way to have their podcast make the money instead of cost them money. We put together a resource for some of our clients and I want to give it to you as well. It's something that did actually seem to help because one of them is now making $2600 a month. Another one is $4500 a month. And the third is making between $5000 and $10 ,000 each month. And so it's been a resource that's been incredibly valuable to them. It's our sponsor sheet template. It's a template of a sponsor sheet. And it gives you something that you can hand potential to sponsors and hopefully also be making $2600, $4500 or between $5K and $10K regularly each month with your podcast. So this has been a contributing factor to helping all 3 of those clients turn their podcast into an additional income stream for them. And the way that you can find it is just go into our website, growyourshow .com. But put in forward slash templates, growyourshow .com forward slash templates. And then you can actually download that template and others that could be valuable to your podcasting experience. I'll see you on the next episode.

Bloomberg reporter Keith Naughton says it's giving automakers a chance to sell new services to owners long after the car has left the showroom. Whether it's infotainment in the dashboard or safety features or convenience features like the hands -free driving. Automakers often sell these services by subscription, helping to smooth out the ups and downs of the car business. It gives you that continuous revenue stream that they don't have from just selling cars. And secondly, the profit margins on these subscription services are huge. And subscription services are not just showing up in electric cars. It doesn't have to be an electric car to have a working modem. All cars have modems now. And so it does not have to be an electric vehicle. Commercial fleets are among the early adopters, helping them to monitor where and how their vehicles are driven. But consumers are close behind.

Something we both seem to care about that the reaction to was pretty mixed. Honestly, I expected more vitriol for my statement, but yeah, it was pretty mixed. Some people liked it, some people hated it. We're both making the argument that while it is pretty funny, in a sense, to see SPF struggling and in pain, I think everybody gets some real value out of that in terms of they're like, yes! A guy who's hurt so many people, and legitimately, right? This guy has damaged thousands of people, probably ruined dozens if not hundreds of people's lives for a significant, if not forever, amount of time. So seeing him in pain, people are enjoying a lot. But I think that it's a more important point that's being stated by him. And basically, he went to court and said that he's not getting his medications on time. He's on, as far as we know, I don't know how many medications he's on, but we know for sure that he's on NSAAM, and he's on Adderall. Now, Adderall, I'm sure most people are familiar with. It's for treatment of ADHD and some other mental disorders. NSAAM is a pretty serious drug, as far as I can tell, in terms of its effects on you. And it seems like he's taking a lot of it, for both of them. For both the, I guess I don't know, I don't know, I'm not a doctor, I don't know what a lot is. Basically, he's not getting his drugs, and he's not getting the vegan meals he wants. He wants vegan meals, and he's not getting those vegan meals, because I guess the prison system is basically like, why should he? He's not special. But therein lies the problem, which is, don't you think prisoners should be getting the medical treatment they need? And don't you think they should be getting basic food given to them, even if it's something demanded like vegan food or vegetarian food? Yeah, why don't you get us started off on that? No, I think this issue is kind of multifactorial and multifaceted, and I understand why a lot of people are having the feelings they're having. And so first I want to acknowledge that Sam Bankman -Fried's experience with the justice system has been one very much shaped by his privilege, right? Like he was able to find the people to put up his massive bond, and even after like repeated bail violations connecting with the VPN, doing all these other things, he remained free until he started doing what I'm not going to say is legally witness tampering, because I'm not a prosecutor, but that feels a lot like witness intimidation. As soon as he started doing that, now he has to go back to prison. In case anyone is unfamiliar, let me stop you right there. In case anyone is unfamiliar, just so you understand, Sam Bankman -Fried released Caroline Ellison's personal diaries. Now Caroline Ellison was the head of trading over at Alameda Research at the time of the collapse, and he released these very personal kind of sensational diaries to the New York Times, which is just wild, as you said, like he had been reprimanded before for his bail violations and kind of pulled to, he was skating on thin ice already. And I do get why people are like, well, if you didn't want to go back to jail and get treated like crap, maybe you should have thought about that. Understood. But anyway, sorry, I just wanted to give, paint a little color there. Like that's absolutely true. Sam Bankman -Fried was lucky to get the bail conditions he did and should not have been violating them. And repeated violation of bail means he should be in pretrial detention. And like one of the other things that's come up is Lawrence Tribe, a constitutional lawyer, wrote a motion, wrote a letter to the court describing Sam Bankman -Fried's treatment and like insisted that if Sam Bankman -Fried were to be detained, where he was talking about being detained, not having access to a computer would make preparing his defense much more difficult and that represented like a potential constitutional issue. And I think there's a bit of merit there. But, and this gets into like the bigger problem here, that these problems are so much bigger than Sam Bankman -Fried, right? Like not just Sam Bankman -Fried should be able to get their medications and like a diet in accordance with their moral wishes. Everyone being held in pretrial detention is presumed innocent until proven guilty. These are people who deserve to be, like, to have reasonable standards while they're being detained, should have access to things that help them prepare their defenses, should be able to receive medications they need, and the United States justice system fails to provide that for such a vast number of inmates, including, because he is there right now, Sam Bankman -Fried. Yeah, I mean, I think actually part of this for me calls into attention how serious the issues are in the justice and penal systems of the United States of America, right? Because here we have possibly one of the most famous white collar criminals of all time, not just of the past year or two, of all time. He's up there with Elizabeth Holmes and Bernie Madoff. Like this guy is going to go down in history as one of the biggest financial scammers and possibly, allegedly, maybe he'll get off and no crimes were committed in fucking La La Land. But anyway, my point here being that this guy is as big as it gets. And the fact he's still being mistreated in prison or in, sorry, excuse me, in pretrial detention in jail speaks to how broken the system because imagine how the people with no voice are doing right now. Imagine how the people who don't have money to pay for bail even, so end up in prison or in jail for weeks, if not months before they go to trial. Like these are real issues that are happening every day to millions of people, not just SBF. And that's the important part of this. That's why I'm glad there's some attention being brought to it, whether or not people agree with whether SBF should be given these basic human rights. I think he should. Whether other people think so, I guess is just how angry they are with him. Yeah, I especially understand why like other people who have had experiences with the criminal justice system might end up feeling particularly frustrated themselves because they'll be, they may see it as, I had it even worse than that and I didn't even steal $9 billion from my customers, you know? And so I certainly understand there's lots of reasons for lots of people to be lashing out, but like you said, fundamentally the thing is people deserve rights. They deserve to have access to these things that help them form their defenses and they deserve a strenuous defense on their behalf in the justice system. And those things are important, those things, we should strive to provide those to everyone. And everyone happens to include him. Yes, and a lot of these issues are totally fixable as far as I'm concerned. Like vegan meals, there's a lot of people pushing back on my statements about that. I was like, oh, give him his vegan meals, just give it to him. Everyone's like, well, he doesn't necessarily deserve to have, it's not like it's covered by the Constitution. And i .e. there are prisoners who are Jewish or Muslim in prison who are given kosher meals and halal meals, right? To meet their religious needs. The pushback for the veganism that I heard was, well, this isn't a religious thing. I want to push back on that and just say one, vegan meals are incredibly easy to cook. We're talking about rice, bread and vegetables. Like if you're not already, if you don't already have those things available for prisoners, there's a problem. All of those ingredients should be actively there for you to be able to make this thing. I know that they make vegetarian meals for vegetarian, probably because there's Hindu prisoners, and some of them need to follow strict vegetarian meals and guidelines, right? But we are equipped to handle this. We have the money, we have the rules and regulations in place that this should not be an issue. It's crazy to me to push back on the idea that this guy can eat vegan food in prison. The thing I want to highlight there is there often are legal protections for people with sincerely held religious beliefs to get access to certain things, like you're talking about kosher halal and things like that, and often our prison system fails to do what it's legally supposed to in many of those cases as well. Again, this is just an example of the pattern and history of human rights abuses across the U .S. penal system. There's a reason international human rights organizations regularly raise alarms about the U .S. prison system, and it's because there are regular and massive human rights abuses in our prison system. Yep, and that brings up another point that I brought up, which is people I think like to assume like, oh, well, this guy's a big fucking scammer. He deserves to rot in jail and get shivved and get treated like shit. I hope that's what happens. And I go, okay, just for some perspective here, 5 % of the entire U .S. population is going to spend some time behind bars. So if you're not the one who ends up in jail at some point or in prison at some point, someone you know absolutely will, 100 % sure, 100 % sure, right? If you go outside and meet people, someone you know will go to jail or prison. Do you want them to be treated respectfully and with dignity, or do you not give a shit? Do you really think like anyone who's in jail, anyone who's in prison deserves the worst kind of treatment? It's time to reflect on these things, you know? We live in a society. It's true, though. Like we shouldn't be, the fact that it's such punitive measures, right, instead of worrying about recidivism, instead of worrying about rehabilitation, instead of worrying about making sure that these people don't repeat their fucking problems when they go back into society, we're focused on hurting people as much as possible. And the reality is, if Sam Bankman Freed gets 15 years in prison or something, 10, 15, 20, and is treated like horseshit the entire time, like no human rights, do you think he's going to come out a like capable and reasonable human being? At least if you try to rehabilitate him, he's not necessarily going to be as bad. At least you can say you tried. Like just damaging someone repeatedly, we know what that does to people. So I just don't understand this at all. And I think people need to reevaluate their, like vengeance is just so easy. And I think people really need to reevaluate where their morals and ethics lie when it comes to this. I get it. It's easy to hate SPF. He is a total scammer. He lies constantly. The dude cannot open his mouth and speak any honest truth for years on end. He's like, his behavior is disgusting. He's as despicable as it gets without getting into like murder and other horrifying crimes. Right. He's disgusting. Fine. He's also a human being. Like, I don't know, man. It just the reaction was just so it was kind of like, man, I don't understand how so many people think this is acceptable. Yeah. And like that's what you're up with. Ed was about. And there was definitely a lot of people who agree that human beings deserve treatment as human beings, which is good. The other thing I want to talk about besides this, which is also something we talked about a little bit in our Reggie Fowler episode, if people want to go back and listen to that. There's been still conspiracy theories about Sam Bankman Fried and his ongoing criminal prosecution, including the fact that as part of our extradition treaty with the Bahamas, we have certain responsibilities about when charges are introduced and when people are extradited. And those were not necessarily followed with Sam Bankman Fried, which has since required certain charges to be removed from the current trial date. And the allegations either incorporated in to other existing charges or other charges are pending reintroduction for months down the line. Yes. And so those charges are not really going away. And as we've talked about before in the case of Sam Bankman Fried, if prosecutors really wanted, they could go through and add one wire fraud charge for like every single person who sent money to Alameda Research under like the false pretenses that it was going to FTX or something. Right. And so prosecutors can and potentially will still scale up his prosecution in the future if that's what they think is justified and appropriate. So I've just been a little bit frustrated with some of the conspiracy theories around those dropping of charges. And like the other thing I want to emphasize, just to kind of make sure people understand this, just because Sam Bankman Fried is pleading not guilty right now does not mean he will continue to plead not guilty. Often you are required to plead not guilty initially, even if you think you are guilty, just because like the system's not ready for you to plead guilty yet. And like that's an actual thing that exists. And I want to be clear here, too. If you have a capable legal team behind you, which as far as I know he does, you're generally not going to plead guilty right away. Why? Well, you're not going to get anything in return, right? If they don't offer you anything and you go, I plead guilty. Well, they're going to accept your guilty plea and they are going to hang you from the gallows. You've got to get something in return. And to get something in return, you're going to play a little bit of a game. And that, unfortunately, whether we like it or not, is a part of the legal system. Right. So you have to have something for them, for you to plead guilty, give them something and them to be like, OK, well, then we'll cut you a deal. And that's what SPF is hoping will happen. That doesn't mean that's what happens. That doesn't mean he gets only five years or only 10 years or who knows. But that's what SPF wants to happen. And we don't know if it will. Yeah. Sam Bankman Fried's goal, as far as I can tell right now, is basically to muddy the waters, cast doubt on key witnesses and the evidence they're introducing. Try to place the blame like his mens rea, his head state for many of these decisions. Say that that state was induced by legal counsel and other things to make it so that prosecutors don't want to add more charges. That'll be hard to prove. So that, like you're saying, he can eventually come up with some deal where he shares whatever information he does have in exchange for a reduced sentence. Yada, yada, yada. That's the meta probably of what his team is planning to do. The other thing I want to emphasize to people is from where I'm sitting, and again, we're not lawyers, we're definitely not prosecutors, we're not experts. But it seems quite likely to me that Sam Bankman Fried is going to prison for much longer than Sam Bankman Fried would want to go to prison. Any time is more than he wants. Yeah, but there are already guilty pleas from almost all the rest of like the top executives at FTX. They have full cooperation, access to all the communications, like all the text messages, all the records, all the logs. They have such an over what, four million pages or something was the initial like discovery they're sending over to him. There are massive quantities of evidence, powerful cooperating witnesses, like he's in a really bad place. And that's just for evidence. I want people to understand that. This is just, we're just saying like, oh shit, there's a lot of evidence against this guy. So he's in trouble on that front. But I want to point people to a recent guilty white collar criminal, Elizabeth Holmes, okay? She is going to be doing nine years in a federal prison, okay? She just had her second baby. She was pregnant during the trial. If that isn't going to win you some, you know, benefit of the doubt and some, oh my gosh, well at least, you know, she's a mother now. We got to make sure that she's able to spend time with her kids and they don't grow up without a mom and blah, blah, blah. She's doing nine years behind bars for her crimes. She didn't hurt nearly as many people as Sam Bankman Fried. She only hurt mostly just very wealthy people. So like in terms of that, just reflect on that, right? That's nine years for someone who did essentially a smaller fraud that hurt less people and is a more sympathetic character. You think SPF is going to get off? Fucking wake up, dude. There's not a chance in the world. I'll bet anyone. If you think he's not going to, if you think he's genuinely going to do no time, I'll bet anybody. I'll bet anyone. But Cass, Cass, he donated to President Biden and was part of some vague conspiracy involving Zelinski. And he met up with Gary Gersler, right? Whatever. I just don't, it's so, it's so, I'm so past it. And then, and for me, the one thing I also want to emphasize here is how obviously failed the cash bail bond mechanism is in general, right? And I think proof of this is SPF. SPF gets $250 million bail bond. Obviously, the way it works, in case anyone's unfamiliar, is you pay roughly 10 % of that and you can get out. If you don't have the money to pay for it yourself or the collateral to pay for it yourself, you can usually get a bail bondsman to take on that, that collateral obligation for you partially, and then you have to pay back a loan on that obligation. What did this accomplish, right? We have to reflect on this. What did it accomplish? He put up, they put up $250 million to get Sam Bankenfried out of detention. Then he goes out, he starts spreading rumors, getting in touch with journalists he's not supposed to, breaking all the rules of the bail that he was given with this money and this collateral, and now he's back in detention again. So it accomplished nothing. It allowed him to break some rules and, as you said, muddy the waters and make things more complex and weird. Another individual who just got a big, gigantic, I think the largest in history in terms of actually being paid for, Joe Lewis, who is the owner of Tottenham Hotspur and the Albany, which is where SPF was living when he got in trouble. This guy just got in trouble, too, for insider trading and fraud, and he put up a $300 million bail with his yacht and private jet. So what do we think this is going to do? I mean, this guy's a billionaire. He can buy a new jet tomorrow. He can buy a new yacht tomorrow. It doesn't matter. He can go run away if he needs to. Nothing is going to stop him from doing that, right? Unless you put an ankle monitor around him. You ensure that you're tracking him with GPS and satellite tracking, that you ensure that he isn't leaving the country. You take his passport. There are protocols to ensure it, and none of it has to do with money. We need to get rid of this cash bail bond system, like, immediately. It doesn't make any sense at all. I strongly agree. I think the cash bail bond system is, like, one of the clearest examples in our criminal justice system of how we have codified a certain privilege for the most privileged, right? That once you have money, you can avoid these things that others can't. And as you're saying, the only real differentiator between these cases is whether or not you have money when you're accused of a crime. That shouldn't be the goal of our system. The platonic ideal of our legal system is one that treats, like, the most downtrodden and the most, like, wealthy and powerful as equal as you possibly can. And, like, there's limits within reason of how far you can take that, perhaps, but, like, that's the ideal, and cash bail bond is just one example of where we don't even try to do that. Yeah, that's right. It's just an obvious advantage for rich people, and really no advantage for anyone who doesn't have the income to deal with this kind of thing. Yeah, it's just a very gross, gross, broken system that needs fixing. Well, and if you listen to, like, testimony of certain convicts and stuff, like, when you are destitute prosecutors and DAs have been accused of using that as leverage, basically, because they know you're going back into whatever horrible detention facility you're in, they know you're more desperate to strike a deal or to say whatever to do whatever because you don't want to go back. Right. And to be clear, like, it's one of the founding principles of our country is kind of this innocent until proven guilty, right, that you aren't going to be treated like you are guilty, even if everyone, like, watched you do the crime. Like, until we prove it in a court of law, you are innocent, and so, like, reasonable bail without having to pay an arm and a leg just seems like the right thing to do here as a country to follow our guiding principles. Like, maybe I'm shouting into the void here, but like this, it's just something I think is necessary for us to talk about, and something I really do think can be fixed within our lifetime. Like, I don't expect the entire penal system to get overturned. I hate the idea that private prisons do what they do in our country. Yeah, that they exist. Like, that they aren't more heavily regulated. Like, that's why there's so many people in prison in our country. I have no doubt about that. But, like, if we're not going to change that anytime soon, and we're not, then the least we can do is ensure that bail bond is working properly, that prisoners are getting their medicine, that prisoners are getting the food that they need. Like, obviously within reason, right? If somebody says, I'm on an only Wagyu steak diet or something, I understand being like, go fuck yourself. Who's going to be the first indicted Bitcoiner to argue that they have a moral conviction that requires them to have only red meat? I would think they would already be in there, right? There's got to be a few dudes who are already in prison trying to argue that already. That I don't fucking buy. There's a limit to even how far I will go in terms of my sympathy. But yes, I do think we need to reform this stuff. SPF is a good jumping off point for that, so we thought it was worth talking about. I understand some people are just going to be like, SPF isn't going to change this. But we can make this a point of retention of this information for everyone in crypto. To be like, we need to change this. A lot of people do focus on this stuff and they understand the corruptness of it in cryptocurrency, and that's good. But a lot of people also don't care about criminal reform and the justice system. And I think it's probably time to think about it. Because some of you are definitely going to go to prison.
Dear Dyslexic Podcast
A highlight from Episode 59 with Bill Goj on Life as a Dyslexic PhD candidate
"Hello there, and welcome to the Dear Dyslexic podcast series brought to you by Rethink Dyslexia, the podcast where we're breaking barriers and doing things differently. I'm Shaye Wiesel, your host, and I'm so glad you can join us. I'm a fellow neurodivergent, and I'm coming from the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, where I live and work, and I would like to acknowledge and pay my respects to all the tribes across our beautiful country and to all First Nations people listening today. Our podcast was born in 2017 out of a need to give a voice to the stories and perspectives of adults with dyslexia, and our voice has grown stronger year after year. We're now a globally listened to podcast with guests from all around the world. Join us for insightful conversations about living with dyslexia and other neurodivergences across all walks of life. Our special focus is on adult education, employment, social and emotional wellbeing, and entrepreneurship. We're excited to be bringing you this episode and invite you to like and follow us, or even better, why not leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform? So let's get started. Today, I am speaking to Bill, who is a PhD colleague of mine. And when I say colleague, we met through our PhD support group that we run through the foundation. And Bill is a peer, I should say, rather than a colleague. And I'd like to welcome him onto the show today where we'll be talking about everything to do with research and being dyslexic and trying to do a PhD. So welcome to the show, Bill. Thanks. Good to be here. Thanks for asking me. Thanks for coming along, especially because we've just spent the last half an hour chatting instead of doing our podcast. So, yeah, dyslexics get distracted. Yeah, we do very much, which I think is one of the good things about having our PhD group, because we get to talk about trying to do our PhDs, but also all the all the different facets of life that come with studying and being dyslexic. And you are studying a very interesting topic, one that blows my mind, because I can't do numbers at all. So how did you end up doing your PhD? What led you on this crazy journey of academia? Oh, wow. How do you sum it up? For those listening, I'm a mature aged student, but I'm like 50, over 50. In the summer. Yeah, thanks. And so I had I had decades of life in between. And school was horrible. And I have very few good memories of it. So, but I always loved learning. And I felt I was good at it. And I don't know, as I got older, I did little things through TAFE, because I wanted to do human resources. So I did the TAFE Diploma and I started doing the Advanced Diploma. And I topped the year. And this was like, late 20s. So suddenly, I was sort of in a situation where I wanted something, I applied to get into it. And it's all sort of like surprising how I sort of got into it. Because half of me is thinking, yeah, like, I'm gonna be able to do this. But I did. And yeah, I totally topped the year. suddenly And which opened a door that I didn't really believe was there for me in the past. And then I sort of thought, I can do this. And it wasn't until recently, I suppose, in my recent life, that I got into a situation where I could choose what I wanted to do. So in kind of an odd kind of a way, it's like going back in time. And I was fascinated by, I do a PhD in marine biology. So I was fascinated by animals and, you know, the marine life and stuff like that. And suddenly, when I went to university, I was looking at applying, it quickly became a reality that I could almost or pretty well apply for any degree I wanted. you And, know, from someone who like failed, you know, year 12 and dropped out, dropped out because they were failing it and failed grade two and stuff like this and hated school. This was like, one of those epiphanies of, oh my God, I can do my dreamers. So I turned into a kid again and picked marine biology and at every, I didn't really think I could do a PhD in it. I didn't even know what a PhD was, to be honest, even though my dad's a doctor, I didn't know. So as I went through it, I figured, oh my God, I could do this and I'm really good at it. And then I got into the honours and then the dyslexia thing started hitting a bit. And then I wasn't sure that I could do a PhD, but everyone else thought I could. And so I was like, that's good enough for me. Let's give it a go. And here I am. I've got lots of questions to ask you, but going back in time, you said school was horrible for you. So we're of an elk where diagnosis just did not exist. So were you diagnosed as an adult as well when you were doing university? Yeah, so my dad is a retired doctor, psychiatrist. So there's a bit of understanding in terms of neuro differences. And, you know, my mum was just like, my child is smarter than failing grade two, except by grade two. So I forgot the question, Shay. This is me. This is a very dyslexic me thing of like getting totally sidetracked. I'm so sorry. No, now what was the question? I think the question was around diagnosis. Were you diagnosed like I was because we're older and there wasn't such a thing. I don't think I'll just see a diagnosis back on the room. So I'm so random. I was so random. Anyway, so, so, so, yeah, look, so, so there's something wrong with what the school thought I was like because they just thought I was dumb and stupid and lazy and that type of thing. And I what could do, because I could say or tell them all of my parents, all about animals and my mum would be in the car going, oh, what's this plus this? You know, and there'd be big numbers and stuff and none of the adults could do it. And I just pop and go and say it. And they'd be like, this there's a disconnect there. So so my mum sort of could pick this. There's something different about me. So so they got me tested in a time where I know someone could qualify this. But, you know, I reckon half the people as described to me didn't even realise dyslexia existed. And some of the teachers, like half teachers would be like, no, it doesn't. That's rubbish. But she got me assessed then. But I lost that assessment at university. They asked for an assessment and I'm not even sure they would accept assessment from me since I was like late forties at that stage. And the assessment's 12. So I tried uni the first semester because when I did that course in the past, I told you about I never told anyone I was dyslexic. And I tried it, but after the first semester, it became very clear that you could pretty well wipe off maybe 20 to 30 percent of my grades off of every single subject just before I started it because of my disability. And it became obvious in second semester that to give me a chance to actually do well in it, I needed to say, hey, I've got a disability and to get acknowledged, I needed another testing. So I got tested twice and hey, the assessments align very neatly, which is interesting over 30 years later. That is interesting. I've always wondered if I should get reassessed because at the time I was going through my divorce, so I was in really bad state. So I wonder if there'd be any improvements now or and trying to do my PhD. Surely I've improved somewhat with my writing, but it would be interesting to see. And it's interesting that you say 30 years difference that they still pretty much aligned. Yeah, well, that's that's a really interesting point, because they aligned in terms of the the how the different psychologists, one was done by one. The other one was assessed by two. And the two reports align in the sense that they talk about how, you know, the deficits you have and they sort of value it. And those values were basically the same. What was fascinating about it, I found that in these two reports, this is kind of one of those things. And I'm happy to, you know, share them with you, because I think that I just think that's fascinating is is that I read better, you know, and so I had improved, which is a really it was brilliant. And that was just like, you know, that was like that. That was that was amazing. And, you know, you know, and it sticks in. It's one of those things that I think we're talking about before the podcast out of memory and stuff. It sticks in my head that I was told I'm read like a 15 year old. And I was just like, that is better than I'd ever been assessed or, you know, thought I was ever doesn't mean I comprehend the same way. I can read as fast as 15 year old. I won't recall most of what I read if I read that fast, though, to be to be blunt. But I still when you test that basic thing and time it, I can still regurgitate the words without sort of really soaking it in when I'm reading. And this is complicated. I don't get it myself. But but yeah, so that was interesting is is the progression you make in that and things that they pointed out when I was young, which which I think is is frustrating. And the problem with testing people so young is that they pointed out that they couldn't really tell if I was trying or if I wasn't trying when I was reading. You know, I mean, because by 12, I suppose I had a lot of hang ups, you know, bullying and harassment, reading out loud stuff like this. So they put that we're not sure whether this is a true assessment of certain certain things. And so it's great having that one later, which basically said, no, no, these are these are exactly the same. And they hadn't read my old report because I couldn't find it. So it's interesting to see an independent assessment over 30 years later, just saying, yep, you are this, this, this, this, this. These are your deficits and going, wow. You know, that's they are there's no denying it. It's interesting. There's two two points, hopefully, that don't drop out of my head. As I'm saying, it's starting to drop out of my head is, you know, we can improve, even though we our brains are predisposed to difficulties in reading, that we can improve and the importance of early assessments and interventions so that children have the best opportunity they can to manage their disability and to build skills around it. But also and we're getting way off topic. Sorry. No, no, don't apologize, because it's important. And it's the conversation around assessments, particularly when you go into higher ed and you have to have that assessment. But the like how they couldn't decide whether it really was your dyslexia that was impacting you or whether part of it was this is in my terms of baggage that you brought, because by the time you were 12, you'd gone through all those difficulties. And that's why I had. Yeah. And for me, it was such anxiety to think I was being diagnosed at 27 with this disability and how was my life going to change it? I'd taken all this back. I knew I had all this baggage in. And every time I did the testing, because it was over a few weeks, I'd go and sit in the car and I cry before I went home. Because it's like, oh, my God, there's something wrong with me. And so it's interesting. I wonder, you know, again, the importance of having an assessment when we're younger, like even before we hit preteens, because we're not carrying so much baggage and maybe it is a true reflection or maybe it doesn't matter, because like yours demonstrated, regardless of the age difference, you still those primary challenges were still there. Yeah, yeah. Look, it's I mean, I found a lot of benefit from doing it. I but you know, obviously it's a novel thing. I mean, you can't go back in time. But I mean, now now I think I mean, you'd be better positioned, of course, to tell me me actually what they're doing. But, you know, they're assessing kids a bit better now. And it isn't a part of the part of what happens in school in grade one or two or something that they are they are assessed for reading and writing skills, you know, potentially which would show up us. But it's not a formal assessment. So it's not something you can compare it to. Some some states, I think, are bringing in phonics checking in grade one. Yeah. Which starts to give an early indication that children might be starting to struggle. But I mean, normally dyslexia typically shows up in grade two onwards when we're starting to put sentences together and to read whole words and bigger words. Yeah. So whether grade one, I'm not I mean, yeah, I know that some states are looking at bringing in or they already are. Whether it's too early, I'm not sure. I wouldn't want to comment on phonics. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Look, look, you explain things so much better than regarding this. Oh, well, it's it's an area I don't like to step into very often. But you got I don't want to sidetrack the conversation because it is around how we get into doing our PhDs. But the assessment process is really important. And you had to demonstrate by the time you got into higher ed that you did have dyslexia and disability. And so there's two I guess there's two questions. One is around how do you self advocate once you get through to a PhD level? Because what I've found is that supervisors, there's an there's a misconception that if you're dyslexic, you're never going to get to that level. And I don't know that from that I hated my speech degree and wasn't until I did my masters that I actually started to really love learning and see I could learn. And I just had in my head, I just had to do a PhD. And I don't know whether it was because I wanted to prove to people that I wasn't dumb and that I was succeeding in academia because I'd struggled in my life. It was just in my head I had to do it. I didn't know what I was going to do it in. Originally, it was going to be on Aboriginal communities and that space I love working in. And then finally, it ended up being in dyslexia. But how do you like everyone told you you could do it? So you said I was going to do it. Is that what drove you? Is it to see what's behind the desire to do your PhD, I guess? It's a long window. Yeah, look, look, it's really holistic. And I mean that in, you know, holistic and holistic, you know, both. There's there are a whole lot of things here. I mean, I, I love learning about this stuff. It's like an addiction. it's, It's, it's, it's something which I mean, even without doing study, I'm still, I still do it anyway. You know, I'll still sit there for hours and watch a bug climb up a tree and see how it does and why it does. And, you know, I can't get those out of my head. So, so to me, it was a really natural progression in that sense. The barrier was always dyslexia. I see it as, or dyslexia or something which, which indirectly came from the dyslexia. You know, so having everyone say, so me really wanting to do it because it was just, it's just a continuation of what I do. So it's like, it's like getting the opportunity for someone to pay you to do what you just love doing anyway, even though they make you do certain things like write a lot that you hate. You know, they also make you read like all this research on it, which you love, you know, it's just like you, you, you imagine it and you see what they're doing in your head. Like, yeah, you can really, you can see it and feel it. And you relate it to all those experiences you've had. And it's just, it's just a really, it was just a really sort of like joyful thing for my brain to do in that sense. And it makes the struggle of reading worthwhile. So before I was getting a whole lot of, you know, you know, assistance and, you know, before I was really tapping into the text to speech programs like that, the pain was so worth the benefits. And that's just because it's like an addiction. And that's probably a good way to describe it, because, you know, you know, addiction might not just be the chemicals, it can be the process, the your environment and the whole of other things. And to me, it's just me. And this is the cool thing about sort of like the way I see it as I became a kid again, because these were, this was my escape. One of the escapes I did from the torture of school. It was, you know, and home. And it was, it was, it was really, it was, I only have good, strong, good and wonderful memories from learning about bugs and animals and fish and stuff like that. And and so the PhD basically was somebody just said, hey, look, you know what you you want to do as a dream? You know, you can do that. Here you go. And then which made it when it felt like it was getting taken away from me at some stage because the supports really aren't there at PhD. It made me fight to the death, you know, and I hate using that word. That was really how strongly I felt about it. I wasn't going to give up once, once somebody gave me that carrot. It's that's my carrot, you know, this bunny is angry. And I would like, I want to come back to self -advocacy. But it's interesting you say it's like an addiction, because originally when I wanted to do a PhD, I was like, yeah, that's just something in my head I have to do. But I completely resonate with you when you're it's like you're in your flow and your purpose, like for me. And like even when my mum was dying, I was still writing my papers, still doing my thesis and people say to me, why are you doing it? And you kept saying, take a break. And I said, but that for me, that is where I find my purpose and my passion. And I know the work I'm doing is is going to make change for people. And 100 percent. And I really resonate with that addiction word, because it does feel like it, because you're constant. Like, I just love it. And I keep saying to people, I'm going to do go on and do my prof doc or do another PhD and everyone, because I don't get paid like you. It's all voluntary, six years of voluntary PhD. That's dedication. And but I just love it. And I can't explain it because it's so hard. Writing is so hard. I'm terrible at it. But the concepts and being able to go out and talk to people about what I'm finding in Australian first research, that's the stuff that just drives me to keep going. Yeah. Oh, look, a quick example. We'll get back on track. But this when I was doing what was it? It was it was my undergrad and I was falling behind in stuff. It was my third year, I think I was falling behind and stuff. And I just asked for an extension for my now supervisor. I think it was undergrad or it was undergrad, whether it was honours or not, I'm not sure. Anyway, so my supervisor, my to be supervisor and she said and I was I was volunteering for another scientist. I'm doing all this work, all this work. And she came and goes, What are you doing here? You've asked for an extension, you know, for this work, because you don't have enough time to do it. And here I come in and you're doing volunteering work for somebody else on some other non -related project. Bloody bloody bloody blah. And my response to her was, this is how I relax. Don't take this from me. Don't take this away from me. And and I was so like scared of it being taken from me that she felt it like she's amazing. My supervisor is amazing that she was like, OK, and left me to it. And that's that's it is it's it's it was my she was taking my hobby, you know, and I needed that. I need that to distress. And I needed that to to get my head back in track and to try and so I could get back on the horse and punch it again and sit there for hours trying to write this thing and doing my head in and reading, blah, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, it's funny that our self -care is doing something that is so hard for us. I know, I know. But isn't it great? I mean, haven't we just picked the best careers ever? You know, you know what I mean? It's it's it's a funny life just moves you in funny ways. Well, because I've been meaning to do do a Facebook live in our Facebook group, the other one and our community. And it's about my husband says that I've got an addiction of buying books. And I do every time I go to the post office like, what are you going to the post office for? It's another book, but I really do need it. So chapters out of different things.

"Does it even want you to just breathe out loud when I asked you, right? Sometimes I feel for you like this man's got to say what he believes and if one thing's not strong enough or it's too strong over there and how is that impact you? That frustration is very real. I'd be a phony and a lie if I denied it. I'm not absolutely true. But here's what's exhausting. It's not white people to have the exhausted. It's black people. Because you have unfortunately people in my community that you can agree with each other 99% of the time. And it's incredibly unfortunate. I know of no other race of people who do that to each other. And it really, really is unfortunate that the verse opinions and what have you is not something that can be embraced to more without people trying to character assassinate you. That's our community. That's our issue. That's what we have to do. And there are a lot of historians and educators who are older, far more knowledgeable about than I am to speak to that culturally in the next way. Having said all of that, I'm still not backing up. And the reason I'm not backing up is because as somebody who's on live television, a minimum of ten hours a week, I do feel an inherent obligation to make sure that the voices emanating from my community are heard. I feel no obligation to agree, I just feel an obligation to give a voice to the voiceless. To make sure that there are people out there who don't look like me, come from my community, that they identify with what is being said from my community. So you at least understand where folks are coming from. Then you can formulate whatever opinion you feel the need to formulate. That's where I come in because for me, I don't care. I love my people. I'm a proud black man. And I say it often. I'm not just a black man. I'm a brother. I'm a brother to brothers and sisters in the black community. That's who I am. And I ain't changing. But that does not mean that I have to agree with you. I'm youngest of 6. Do you think I agree with my brothers and sisters all the time? I'm the youngest child of Janet and Ashley Smith. Do you think I agree with them all the time? No, I did not. We started off the Senate. You talking about how I disagree with my father. And some of the friction at that course. Of course, it's inevitable. So for us to act like we have to march lockstep tooth and nail every single is utterly ridiculous. But there is an obligation of feel to make sure that the voice is emitting from your community that are relatively squashed, elevate and stature and impact because their voice is heard through you. Even while I'm disagreeing, it's okay because I'm not white and what I say to white America all the time and there's no shade on this whatsoever. White folks go to work today every day with a job to do. Black folks come with a responsibility. If Ed is doing his podcast, chances are you're going to have white folks throughout America in the world listening to him, they don't like it or they just like it. They don't say to you as far as I've never met a white person that is knowledge. White folks are said to him because your wife you got to say this. But black folks do that to black folks all the time. Trayvon Martin was not a sports issue. Had to talk about Trayvon. George Floyd was not a sports issue.

"I can relate to that. The holy smokes. This is going to get real deep between you and me when people get to listen to it, okay? You don't know how I was going here today. So you've made a lot of, you use the word progress, so I'll say that word. Towards healing towards greatness. And part of that is a spiritual journey. And one of the things that I'm going to say it the way I believe it about you and you can correct me if I'm wrong. You even figured out yet completely spiritually what you align with yet. You're pursuing it would be my description of it. And if I'm wrong, you correct me. But the reason I ask you that question, you didn't know we were going to go there today. Is that I think everyone thinks they have to have every single element of their life figured out before they can experience some measure of peace. And I've watched you. You've had people from different religious backgrounds on, you go to one of my dear Friends, Irwin McManus, church, intermittently, you go there. And I'm not here to talk about what you believe. But I want you to speak to the fact that part of greatness is what you just said is so profound. Sadhguru probably said that on your show and he did to me too that we just need to be peace. We don't have to chase it. He said that to me, about a chasing happiness, he said, Ed, we don't have to chase it. We have to be it. We can access that at any time that we want. And so, but I want to ask you about that for a minute that this notion of greatness is progress, greatness is a journey that you don't have to have. I think sometimes people listen to me or others like, they got it all figured out. I really hope I don't sound like that. Because I don't have it all figured out. And I don't know that I want to have it all figured out. I have other breaths in my body because of the exploration, the expansion of my being the expansion of my understanding, the expansion of my deep seated beliefs in my life, so you're sort of in that journey too right now. Is that fair to say as a friend? A 100%, yeah. I mean, I believe in a God, I believe there was a creator that created me in a beautiful image and likeness of love. Yeah. And the goal is, how do I stay in the frequency of love as frequently as possible? And that's been what I've been constantly focusing on. And I think when you experience pain or suffering or just challenges mentally and emotionally, we question things. Why am I feeling this? What's wrong with me? Why would God do this to me? Or whatever it is. And so my whole journey has been asking questions being curious about life and why I'm here. I think a lot of us want to know why we're here. I think all of us want to know why we're here. Exactly. And my goal really in the last two years is understanding that I am love. I am a beautiful light. And I am here to serve the creator of love. I love it. And to stay in that frequency as often as possible. And I'm constantly curious about lots of people of lots of different beliefs and faiths because I feel like everyone has a different perspective.

"I admire him. Makes me emotional. And I respect him. And I think probably in my life the last 5, 6 years, he may have, he's potentially grown more as a person than anybody that I know, and I loved him and thought he was amazing when I met him. And this is a guy in the pursuit of greatness. And it just so happens he's got a new book out called the greatness mindset. Unlock the power of your mind and live your best life today. Man's immensely qualified to talk on this topic. Lewis house, welcome brother. Thanks, I appreciate it, brother. Good to have you. I'll know, Louis, probably, but if you don't just pass ten years with his podcast, he's already a New York Times bestselling author. And I'm grateful you wrote the book because you've been studying greatness up close now for about a decade. I want people to know this about you. The serendipity and synchronicities that I think you bring to so many people's lives. There's tens of millions of people that watch and listen to you every week on multiple platforms. And because they watch and listen, magic happens in their life. And I'm sure you hear it and see it and they send it a lot, but I don't know if everyone sends it enough. And so I want you if you're watching or listening right now, if something happens today that is a serendipitous moment, is a synchronicity. Maybe you, when something happens in your life, you're always like, oh, I'm going in the right direction. Maybe it's like you see a penny or you see a butterfly or you see some symbol or someone says something to you or someone in your life calls you and when that happens, something good happens. Like pay attention today. When you're listening to this this moment, and anytime you're watching or listening to Ed and send him a message again, saying there was a synchronicity because of you today. And when synchronicities happen, you need to listen, pay attention and take action. And the moment you met Martha, my girlfriend, I guess was last week a week and a half ago. And you met her in a moment of prayer. Was the moment you met her? You literally are holding your hand and you were like, nice to meet you while we were praying for a friend of ours in this moment. I won't say what was happening, but one of our Friends was going through a moment that needed a lot of support and prayer. And you grabbed her hands and you said, nice to meet you. I'm sorry, it's happening in this moment.

"Everybody to go back and rewind and listen to that again. That's one of the most profound things that's ever been said because it's also true as a father. I'm choosing, there's an innate love that happens. You have a child, but I want to choose to love my child every single day. I don't want it just to be something that esoteric notion. I want to choose to love and see the things about them that I do love. Now one thing that I've always wondered about, I have friends that are doing this right now. Should you be looking for it? You know what I mean? Like I have, especially for a lot of our single listeners, or those of you that are married that have single brothers or sisters or friends. They're kind of like, you're looking for them too. I got someone for you. I gotta say, we met this guy at the grocery store. He'd be amazing. What do you think about the notion of looking for love? Yeah, I think that, you know, we talked about this yesterday in the room that we've been and it's the idea of like, you're not gonna win at something that you don't take shots at, right? Like if you don't make the reps, you're not gonna suddenly get that. Yes, it's beautiful when people stumble upon love. And there's the old cliche of like, you find it when you're not looking. Beautiful if it happens to you. Painful if it doesn't. So to me, I love that you're a friend who's thinking about your Friends. I think your friend should know who you're looking for, the types of people you're looking for so that they can set you up. I think you do want to be using the dating apps. By the way, friend introductions and dating apps today have the same percentage level of impact and success. So this notion that, yes, the optimal painful because you're going through more tough situations or challenges or awkward conversations. But in terms of actual success rates, it's pretty equal. And so there's three ways to find and look for love more effectively. And these three things will accelerate it. Okay. The first is people who share your values. So I know Ed you share my value. If I was looking to fall in love, I'd say Ed, I know you're a great guy. I know you know the kind of person I'd want. Here's what I'm thinking about. He's the kind of thing. You're a person of value that aligns with my values. It's the same as hiring, right? If you're trying to hire people in your team and your family, you're going to go to people of equal value. So don't just go to everyone, don't just start asking your random friend, go to friends that you value. So people that you value. The second is places of value. Are you going to places where you share values? Now you may not be someone who loves partying. So why are you looking for someone in a bar in a club? Why are you looking at for them at the beach club? Like why are you in those environments if that's not your environment? Are you going to, maybe you got to find someone at the soup kitchen, who you serving, and maybe you're going to find someone at your cycling club. Maybe you're going to find someone in the book club. Maybe you're going to find someone in group therapy, right? You're going to find someone in a place that has the environment. That's going to accelerate your chances. And the final one is projects. I think projects at work, side hustles, projects in your community. What are the projects that you know I was working with a couple of years ago and they both were just fascinated with taking people back to their homeland. And there was a project in their community that did that for people from that culture. They went back to the homeland together. They fell in love, they've been together for the last. I don't know, like, probably 12 years now, really enjoying each other. And I was like, that's how you accelerate it. So I think sometimes we're too random. And when you're too random, then you are relying on wishing, waiting, luck. Yeah, I think there should be some strategy. That's why the book's so damn good. Yes, yes. You know, I was thinking about this last night. I'm like, old Jerry Maguire movie where you complete me. Yes. And there's this, you write about healing in the book, so I want you to talk about that a little bit too, but I actually feel like sometimes the expectations of what this person is supposed to do almost for you, if they don't eventually meet this criteria like then you eliminate them almost. So should we be looking for someone that's going to complete us? Oh, dude, that's so good. Yeah, I think we've always had this language of you complete me. You have the language of my better half. Right. Does that mean you're the worst half? Right. Who wants to be the worst half? And then that person leaves you and no wonder you feel you're the worst half forever because they left you in when you say someone completes you. Does that mean you're incomplete? And so we have this romantic idea. And by the way, I'm a romantic, and I think you are both romantic, my wife's not romantic, but I try and do everything. But I'm very romantic, so I love romance. Me too. But I don't like romantic ideas of idyllic viewpoints around these concepts. And so what I mean by that is we are constantly trying to get our partners to fill the gaps that our parents opened up. Man, that's true. Or we're trying to get our partners to repeat the gifts that our parents gave us. So our partners are trapped in having to repeat the gifts or fill the gaps. And we are evaluating them and assessing them on how well they do these two things. They didn't know our parents. They don't know our gaps. They don't know our gifts. Not only do they not know you're now missing out on the way they could love you. You're limiting them from loving you in the way they can love you in the way they want to show you they love you because you're just measuring these two areas. And so I want you mentioned healing there, I really believe that if you uncovered the gap, if you looked at your parenting or even your first loves, like look at the first people that you love, the first boyfriend, the first girlfriend. Look at the first caregiver you had. Yeah. And look at where did they leave gaps? Maybe they didn't show up to your baseball game. Maybe they didn't show up to your dance recital. Maybe they didn't help you with your homework. Maybe they were never there when you needed them in an emotional state. So now what's happened is you've taken all of that gap and you're saying this person's going to fill all of those gaps. And guess what? They might even do it. They might even do it. But after a few years, they're going to get exhausted. They're going to get tired. They're going to get drained and they can't do it forever. Because your desire for it just keeps going up and up because you're not filling it yourself. Gosh, Jay. This is so good. So, bro, I'm thinking about my own relationships, like friendships and my marriage. And I have these little triggers. You know my dad was an alcoholic. My wife and I can be out. We'll be the group of friends and, you know, from time to time, people have more cocktails than others. And if my wife has too many, it is a massive trigger for me. Like, it is a major wound you're hitting because I had someone I loved. Do that. And so the depth of what you're saying, I always think when someone says something so brilliant, my job is to give perspective and also the application. You're doing a brilliant you're a 1 billion % right about what you're saying, bro, I almost hope you begin to even expound on this even more. And then the other part, I did know my wife's parents, and when I'd go pick her up for dates, I remember this when we were kids, so I'd knock on the front door. I could look into their living room check. And many, many times. I'd look under the living room, and her mom and dad were slow dancing in the living room. Like, they were this unbelievable romantic couple. I don't come from a family like that. So then when we were together, it's like, why isn't he so over the time? And to me, I'm like, that's cheesy. So but you just said, I need to love her the way I can love her. And she needs to allow that to be the case, and she has, and that's what's made it work. But you're so, so right, bro I just want to acknowledge real truth. And this is the most important in our lives. It's our faith and love. They're the most important topics in our life. And there's never really been a book written like this, or someone who has the depth of understanding that you do about it. All right,

"Connect where we get on the same page on that? I think first place I started is that there are when I was a month I learned about these the monks called the three cancers of the mind and they are comparing complaining and criticizing. And what I find in relationships is that we're constantly operating in one of these dynamics. You read the complaining about your partner, your comparing your partner to other people or your criticizing your partner. Wow. And when you're living in these three ways, there's no room for growth and the problem is your partner can't be doing anything that I talk about in this book because they never went to that class. They never got to go to that school and neither did you. So what you just said, so beautifully, we just assume people know how to love. Let me just take that idea. Do you just assume someone knows how to drive a car? Do you just assume someone knows how to be a doctor? Do you just assume that someone knows how to fly a plane? Like, you would never assume that. But we assume that love must loves easy. Right? Loves easier than driving a car and loves easier than flying a plane. No, it isn't. It's so much harder. And so I want to track back to your question. Wow. I start the book with this really beautiful story that the Buddha will talk about this conversation, and in this conversation, a student Austin teacher, what's the difference between I like you? And I love you. What's the difference? Great question. And teacher replied, when you like a flower, you simply pluck it. But when you love a flower, you water it every day. And I love that story because I ask myself in a relationship when you're struggling, ask yourself, when was the last time you ordered it? When was the last time you tended to the soil? When was the last time you made your ad perfect sunlight? When was the last time that you made sure that it had the right amount of air or indoors or whatever it may be? Like, when was the last time? And so rather than pointing out and saying, you don't respect my values. You don't know my goals. Jay Shetty and Ed told me that you should want to spend 200 hours with me like, that dynamic doesn't create it. I actually sit down and go, hey, you know what? I want to understand more about your values. Why don't we both talk about our values and what's really important. And even if it's not big values, great advice. What's our values for 2023? Yeah. Just what's our values for this year? It doesn't have to be this massive conversation. Just open that dynamic. This podcast is sponsored by better help. I'm a big believer in therapy. I talk about it all the time. It's probably one of the most commonly discussed things on the show. And here's why it works. Whether you got some trauma or some anxiety or some frustration, depression, maybe you don't have any of that. You just want to talk out loud about your thoughts so you can experience better emotions in your life. Therapy works, but there's some obstructions to it. Let's be real. It can be really, really expensive, and sometimes you don't want everybody to know you're going. And that's where better help comes in. I got to tell you, I love this concept. If you're thinking of giving therapy a try, better help is a great option. It's convenient, flexible, affordable, and it's entirely online. You just fill out a brief questionnaire to get matched with a licensed therapist. Here's what's cool. You can switch therapists anytime for no charge. I'm a big believer in it because you become more self aware. Even just talking out loud about what you're feeling and thinking about or working on has so many benefits. And so whether you've had therapy before it will be the first time I highly recommend better help. If you want to live a more empowered life, therapy can get you there.

You're so white and you're on a long-term relationship too. Tell me if you agree with this. You have to do that regularly. I started dating you ten years ago. What's important to me now? What I value? What even some of my beliefs are? Maybe completely different than they were ten years ago. So that's when people say we're growing apart. I really believe that part of that is, when we first connected, I did understand your values and your goals and where you wanted to go. And then we just sort of do the relationship, don't we? Yeah. And then you get to the point where it's not feeling the same. And you're suggesting part of that is we really don't even understand their values anymore, their goals. And we think we've achieved love when we move in. You think you've achieved love on your wedding day. You think you've achieved love on your anniversary parties celebration and you think you've achieved love and you forget that any relationship is a daily practice. Love is a daily practice. And I find that we get so focused on our habits for our success, our purpose, our growth, maybe our mental health, all important things. But we forget that this is a whole nother pursuit with another person. And I love what you just said that, you know, we just do almost forget. You do? You forget, and you have to update it. So I have full questions that I believe everyone should ask, especially if you're in a longer term relationship or you've been together for a while. There's four questions. There are four questions that I have. One for every day, one for every month, one for every season and one for every year. The question for every day is, what did you do for yourself today? Yourself. Ask your partner. Sit down with your partner and say, what did you do for yourself today? Because I guarantee you they've been thinking about you, they've been thinking about the kids. They've been thinking about the home, but no one ever asked them, what do you do for yourself today? When you ask that question, you've shown them that you care about them. You care about them. The question you ask every month

"Welcome back to the show, everybody. Today is such an honor for me because I've got this gentleman to my left back for the second time. It was one of the maybe the most downloaded show of all time. And I think one of the reasons is this man is his whole life is on fire right now. He's so electric. He's reaching so many people because his message and more important, I just think his energy, the way he connects with people. Just really resonates and it's perfect for these times. And he's an icon. He's become an icon in the personal development space and healing and helping people. And he's got this new book out about the most important topic in the world, which is love. And his new book is called 8 rules of love, how to find it, keep it and let it go. He's also the host of on purpose with Jay Shetty, one of the biggest podcasts in the world. And some of the top leaders in every industry in the world look to this man for advice and counsel and now you get to get it from him today. So Jay Shetty, welcome back. Ed, I just want to say that I'm so grateful to be back with you because I was just saying this to you offscreen, but I want everyone to hear it. The amount of your, first of all, the people you attract in your community are just unbelievable. Thank you. And the amount of people after our last interview that came up to me and said, I heard you on ads podcast. Or I loved you and Ed connecting them. You came on the show too. It's one of those things where you go, when we were texting a messaging before we got to meet each other, you felt a connection, but then when we sat down, it was just like no other. It was instant. And so I just, I feel really grateful when you feel like you reconnect with someone that you haven't even connected with. I know. That's so funny you say that. When you left that day, I told my wife, I feel like I've known Jay saver. Yeah, literally. I felt that way, too. Do you think transitioning on that too? Is there any element of that that's in love? So I was preparing last night because I want to talk about this with you because I'm at this stage of my life where it's always probably been the most important thing, but for me right now, being with the people that I love and making sure they know how much I love them. And in my case, letting myself feel loved is a really interesting thing. So what is actually love? Is it something we know when we feel it? Do you think? Because I know you've studied this so deeply. Yeah, I mean, I want to start off by just saying that so my wife and I, we have always said that we think we must have been together in a past life. Like we have that since we met, we had that familiarity. We had that comfort and even today we've always had that. But what I've really tried to do in this book and in my work is when you speak to someone who's in love, they'll say, when you know you know, when you feel it, you feel it. And the problem with things like that is, someone's listening or watching right now going, I don't feel anything. Like, I haven't felt it yet. What do I do with that? Do I just keep meeting people? And so what I like to do is take a subject like love and break it down and analyze it into really simple ideas that everyone can understand rather than waiting for some like ethereal internal feeling, which I want you to feel, but it's going to take a few steps. So I define love and in the book one of my rules is make sure that you define love before you say it or feel it. Because I think one of the biggest mistakes that happens in relationships is two people say I love you, but they mean different things. Wow. So I say I love you and that means I want to spend my life with you and you say I love you and that means you want to spend a night with me and that's where all of our friction begins because you never stopped to say no, no, no. What do you mean by that? Yes. So we have to really define love. So I define love as three things. Okay. It's when you like someone's personality, it's when you respect their values and when you want to commit to helping them achieve their goals. That is love in action. That is love in practice. That is love in reality. So like their personality, what do I mean by that? Studies show that to make someone a casual friend, you have to spend 40 hours with them. 40 hours for a casual friendship. It goes on to say you need hundred hours to make someone a good friend. And if you consider someone a great friend, a best friend, you would have had to spend 200 hours with them. So the question about liking someone's personality is, could I like spending 200 hours with this person? That's the question I'm asking myself. That's the question you should be asking yourself when you're dating someone. Do I want to spend $200? Respecting their values. I've chosen the words very carefully. The challenge in relationships is we want people to value what we value. We want our partner to value what we value the way we value it. And when they don't value it, we think you don't love me. You don't care about me. But what we have to learn to do is respect their values and for them to respect ours. I'll give you an example. For me, one of my deepest values is my purpose in my work. And my wife respected so much that if I tell her I have a purpose opportunity she'll never hold me back. She will never make me feel guilty about it or bad about it because she knows that this is what fuels me. It's fuel. And my wife's fuel is her family. Being with her mother being with her father being with her sister being with a niece and nephew being with her grandmother who she's with right now in hospital in London actually. And again, I'm not going to make her feel guilty or bad if she wants to spend time with her family over what I'm doing and so when you have this healthy respect of actually I see that your fuel makes you who I love. Yes. Right? What makes you attractive to the other person? Don't take that away from them. I think this is really just hit me right now. We often extract what attracts us about someone. Meaning. We take that away from them. We want them to give up what they value because we want them to focus on what we value. Should we take it out like the rug from beneath their feet? Let me evaluate what you're saying. Yeah. So I've been married 25 years. We've been together 35 years. And when I feel the most unloved or disconnected, because relationships are real thing. Are those moments where that isn't present, meaning my purpose isn't admired or respected or appreciated. And in a relationship, you're going to have moments where those things don't happen. But I do know in the moments where I feel like that isn't existing as I feel the least connected. So you're 1 trillion % right about it. I love hearing that from your perspective. And by the way, congratulations, what an amazing thank you. Marriage and I aspire to be like you and I'm learning along the way and it's the same thing for me. It's like respecting someone's values means two things. You need to know your values because otherwise how can someone respect them? And you need to know the other person's values. And the third one is, do you want to commit? Are you willing to put the time to help someone? Achieve their goals. Do you care enough to say, you know what, whatever you care about, whatever you believe in, I'm going to be there with you supporting you, cheering you on, redirecting you sometimes. But I care enough. There's a difference between saying, I want to see you win, and I'm going to be there for you, watching you in, helping you win. What would you say to somebody? This is so great, by the way, love is the reason this book is so incredible to me is about every other thing in life. There are strategies and tactics involved. Love, even friendship love, not just intimate relationship love, but friendship love. It's almost this thing that we just sort of assumes going to take place in our life. And as soon as going to last, so what would you say to somebody, though, who is in a relationship, just tough question, start out earlier with Trump? But I'm in a relationship, I just heard you say that and I go, not only is that not our pattern, because sometimes relationships take patterns. Not only is that not the pattern, but I feel like this person's almost competing against me, and sometimes even though I feel like there's some sort of love there, they really aren't supporting. Helping not only they're not helping my goals, they're not supporting the goals that I have. Does that mean you're not in a loving relationship or are there some strategies you can have to better

"And then again they would like write me tax our private messages where they would say, you know, I think you did a really good job, articulating that. And, you know, I really support you. I just couldn't for blah, blah. And that's the situation still today. So if you look at 1893 and you look at now, and the fact that women of color in this country are still fighting for being recognized and still, you know, do fighting the same war, but then the memo has to be sort of presented in this very blunt way, and that is what I'm trying to do in the book. Is it like a very blunt memo to white women that listen man? There's a huge problem. And the reason a lot of women are just exiting out of feminism as a whole are consider themselves more better placed in like in their own sort of subgroup, whether it's Muslim feminist or black feminist or whatever subgroup, Brown you know, different iterations of that. And so there's like a huge bleed out, you know, so that, as I see it, the feminist movement right now is on life support. And if it is resuscitated, the only way it can have relevance to our society that's changing so fast, but that still has white women on all the boards making all the decisions and not interested in sharing let alone seeding any space. You continue to have the same problem. So it's like, there's black history month and women's history month and this and that. But our work as women of color, and I still worry about that with this book, is still at the margins. It's still sort of being denied entry. It's still not really part of the conversation as the sort of now white liberal celebrity feminist have determined feminism to be. To your point, you have a chapter called, which I love the title of this chapter. In the beginning, there were white women. When I was reading that chapter, the story of ESPN's reporter Maria Taylor came out. Now, this had taken place a while ago, apparently the recording, the audio recording that was released had been taken like a year ago. But it surfaced somehow and now we are dealing with Rachel Nichols. Who.

"Change is that there are some time school districts contract with a company to actually reprogram something to collect some data on their students that they paid extra for. This happens a lot with student information systems and so we wanted to make sure that school districts again have their. It's their data. And they have the ability to share some data that the state did not stipulate as allowable so they again have local control. They can go. They can say no. Yes this data where we can't share by the state but it's our data in. Its our relationship with this company. We're going to also give them this status. So that's also in the bill so that local control Were we were after. Yeah i can see how you know. If i'm a smaller district and i don't want to run up those billable hours with the lawyers to write a new contract every time. I have to implement cycling. Which i probably feel like i'm having to implement a lot of new things these days But if i'm a bigger district in we've got them on retainer in where we've already got the budget line item executive pay the lawyers week. We can get the contract. We want to negotiate But you don't have to. It's not all on the district to figure that out. Every time i guess right exactly and only other bill only other area is that directly is computer science. We're we're monitoring hp thirty to ninety eight filed by representative allison from the san antonio area and it would require the state to create a strategic planning committee that would help create the environment for more students to take computer science at the high school. But recognizing that this is a k twelve problem recognizing that we need to begin to foster. Teaching kids computation computational thinking skills at an earlier age so that some kids don't even know they have technical ability until it may be too late and so fostering that interest in those kind of of of subjects early is important and so That's one a similar. Bill passed last session but ta one able to implement it because covid in there was a due date for report. That date has come and gone. So we're just trying to get it passed again. It also where he's going to add some language on when it gets to the house floor That would create a grant to also help train teachers so that they can pass. Computer science certification. That's one of the big barriers of school districts offering computer science at the high school level. They just don't have teachers that can do it. So i think i've given you the highlights a lot of other bills that we're looking at but those are the bang thinks that we're really focusing on right now. Sounds like everybody's staying busy in austin. Yeah and what we haven't talked about where we're at the session. We have about four or five weeks. Four and a half weeks before the sessions over it ends. The last sunday of may and if a bill doesn't get passed both chambers in identical form by midnight that night it's dead and so we're really to the point where the bills are kind of crossing over many the senate's now beginning to hear how spills in the house is beginning to hear senate bills and the bills are gonna get more. The path is narrowing for them to be able to get past so we these are the these are the main bills. Were hoping that we'll get there. Well sounds like crunch time. So i won't take any much more of your time if i'm out there listening I'm here in texas or amount of texas and i wanna be thinking about these issues in my state or my country Any any tips places to direct people. Well if you're in texas we. I highly encourage you to go to the texas legislature online. It is a three website in almost every in no matter where you're at you have one of these types of websites i have just recently. I i saw someone. Compare the we call it. The tea yellow. I've had somebody compare ours to other states and they really do say ours is really pretty good. It's very easy to find bills. You can create a in fact you can go to our website and go under blogs and Search for texas legislature online. I have a whole blog about how to create a a an account. Mayor see contract bills. You can go to this site and click on links to watch the hearings and they're really pretty fascinating. I will just tell you if you just want to find out. What are the concerns of average day americans. Listen to the hearings. I might. I cry I get angry. I get you know you just you just hear all of the things that that people are concerned about and it's pretty fascinating just to listen to the different hearings just pop into a couple of you're probably get hooked pretty quickly. It's very good reality. Tv let me yeah. I've i've watched a few in my time. And the yeah they they tend to be in chain. They tend to give you a lot of insight on on what the people who vote on these things. are thinking as well and of course if you go into texas legislature online. Start digging around and you're thinking. I'm not sure what this means. You can always call you. Know you can always reach out to the author of the bill and call their office and say i don't understand what this means because they all they all work for us after all so is a good way to paying attention can do to Engaged well that's another good thing. Call your legislator calling your office your constituent and so they want to hear from you. They're gonna want to hear from you more than they're gonna want to hear from me If somebody so do you find a bill. You really like you. You don't have to be an expert on it you just all you have to do is call up. Say hi. My name is and then gave him your name. I am a constituent. I live in this district.

"That sounds really positive there you go. That's right One of the things. That i started. I started getting phone calls about this time last year. From tech directors from some pretty large school districts that were concerned that in the state of texas they did not have the ability without some legislation to deliver remote learning virtual learning distance learning. Whatever you wanna call it to their own students full-time The commissioner waved some rules because he had the ability to do that because of the pandemic but once those waivers are gone school districts. Right now don't have the ability to do that. And so they call the. I may not have started fielding calls jennifer. We need something that will give us ability to provide online learning fulltime on learning full-time online learning for some of our students either within our borders or even that gives us the ability to to deliver it to students outside of our borders but by primarily. They wanna make sure they can do it to their students. The reason why is because a. They figured that some of their parents still wouldn't be comfortable sending their kids back. Be some of the parents discovered that they liked it and the children left it now. The vast majority did not But some parents found that they kind of like the ability of homeschooling with the support of the school district in the state and so they were worried that if they don't have the ability to do that their students that want that option will go to one of the their seven right now. Full time virtual options in the state that without going into a lot of historical background they had. They were grandfathered in and they have the ability to provide online learning houston. Isd is one of them hunts. elias de is one of them And so they set up a shop and so students at for instance in austin. Isd if they wanna full-time they can go to one of those in so both Hp fourteen sixty eight and senate bill. Twenty seven do provide districts with the option to do to provide online learning for their students senate. Bill twenty seven allows school districts to provide it to If a district wants to to provide it to students who are not within their their boundaries one of the problems that we have however with hp fourteen sixty eight it just carbs out the term synchronous learning and it does not give the ability to do a synchronous learning and we have a fundamental strong opinion about that because that is what remote learning is is a synchronous very much involved that we believe the authors hurt us on that and we think that he's willing to to make some changes as the as the bill goes through. It was actually passed out of the house today. So it is now gonna be honest way to the senate senate bill. Twenty seven is one of those omnibus bills. It's it's it's Deals with a lot of things dealing with virtual learning and we think that it's finally a pretty good spot where we think we can support it and it's been heard on the senate floor today so we'll see where it's going and and again i have a feeling these spills are somehow going to end up being one We'll see which parts of each of the bill make it in the final version. But hopefully we'll have something. Because i have there some pretty. They're pretty large school districts frisco. Isd just tweeted out last week that they were creating a virtual school for kids in grades three through twelve if they have if legislation pass it allows them to do it and other school district bryan isd. I saw on. Facebook is creating a layer also in the process of doing that and they were seeking input from their community about whether or not this is something they should do. And so this is something that some of the school district on around rock. Isp's is very interested in during this as well so Hopefully they'll be given some legislative rules around that and it gives them a path forward to be able to do that and this regarding these virtual learning and potential policies This isn't some much reaction to i mean. It's certainly i imagine a reaction to the pandemic but this isn't so much planning for if everyone has to leave the building for a long time again in the future. Obviously we want that option. We want to be able to implement what we need a little. Maybe faster or more readily than we did during the pandemic at the beginning but this is also a question of you know individual need right. There may be a students with disabilities or transportation issues families with childcare issues Living just living situations that make it difficult to physically get to school for a while And it makes sense then. There could be online option. Is that kind of more of the sense. You get from legislators of what they're putting into this. Yeah thank you for clarifying this. This is this is what been living through was what we would probably call pandemic online learning and everyone trying to figure it out on their own whereas some school districts did a better job because i probably were a little further ahead. But no we're looking at these school districts of wanting to do something going forward at a time where there is no There is no Pandemic so it's definitely an ongoing a new way. They want to deliver instruction to their community and districts. Administrators must be seeing a need Within their communities you mentioned a lot of sort of mid size texas cities frisco round rock that are pretty big communities in a big school district so this must be something that districts are hearing from from their community from their parents and guardians and teachers for that matter. Yeah and i'm not speaking for them right now except anecdotally I know that school districts have been have have been doing online surveys throughout this whole pandemic and getting a sense of where their parents are on sending their kids back. And i and i so i have a feeling those that are wanting to do. This have gotten some survey data that indicates they've got a need that they wanna feel in there and quite frankly they feel like they're ready to do that And i think quite frankly. They're worried that if they don't do it they will lose those parents and those students and that will be going to.

"It happen and and you can give us kind of an update on the legislature and and what their progress is on these topics. First of all. I think it's important to to reflect on how many bills that have been filed that deal with educational technology You know for those of us who have been in this fight for a long time or in this discussion in hoping that school schools would move more into the digital world when it comes to instruction and using digital tools almost every warren where almost every hearing in the education hearings. Both in the house of senate have multiple bills that deal with educational technology. So it's it's kind of an exciting time that we are very much a part of the conversation and that's the reason why. Tc a has devoted a fulltime staff member just to monitor. What's going on here so lots of things that they're dealing with. I'll just kind of run the the the laundry lists and then narrow it down for you. Their bills that deal with broadband student data privacy. The technology instructional materials allama computer science cybersecurity training virtual learning online assessment and school safety and there are probably other said. I didn't even mention but that's just the list of the types of subjects set. They are Discussing that involve technology. The one big one that tci has been in support of since two thousand thirteen has been broadband. We decided back then that that was the last major barrier that school districts had in order to make sure that they can move their instruction into the digital world and at that time we were concerned about schools having broadband but one of our members joy from our bias st back then said to me jennifer if you solve the problem of broadband at school but you do not solve the problem at home. You've not solve the problem. And at the time i was thinking joy right now i just try to get broadband and five or to school district. Don't give me that broad Charge but she's right and the governor the speaker of the house. The lieutenant governor. They're all of them agree with joy. And and that is that it is you. It's very difficult for school Teachers to assign homework that they know half of their students are going to be able to have this vast. You know broadband internet resources that they can have access to and then they've got some kids where they're lucky if they have a book or two at home that deal with it because i do not have home broadband so finally because of the pandemic this is a major focus and everyone agrees that this is not a luxury it's a necessity and they are Several bills have been filed. There's one bill that Is what we call omnibus bill and it 'cause it it looks at the problem holistically and it has several provisions in it that they think will help saw this. And that is hp five and senate bill five. They're very similar and they started out actually identical and that s i went through the process by chambers changed a little bit and Eventually where it's going to go as there's i think. H p five is gonna be the vehicle and it is will go is already gone through. The house is It's it came out of the transportation committee last week. And it's just got to be voted on in the senate and once it is they'll have two different. They'll have the same bill number but they'll be different things in it and so they will have to go to a conference committee. The really quick big things that are in there is a broadband office estate office. Set would be coordinating broadband some mechanism some ways to make sure that we have really good. Data on mapping data and then the third one is that we would have a big a broad a state broadband plan. We're one of the few states in the union that do not have a broadband plan. And so this bill would require us to do that. That's kinda surprising. You think about texas being home to so many tech companies and entrepreneurs in having so many Globally important urban areas. You know you you. It is a little surprising. That plan is in place but it sounds like this Hp slash sb five. It as you say it's an omnibus says going to include a lot of things to address broadband including as you say reporting. I know they always liked to have a reporting mechanism so when they come back in another two years they can review and see what they wanna do now thinking about that. It's not hard to see that the last three semesters of schooling Made it apparent that there was a need for high speed internet access. Is it your understanding that this is kind of where this is coming from that. Legislators started to see the lessons learned during the coronavirus pandemic in how they can set up more permanent infrastructure now because when they found that school districts were delivering packets to children's homes. I were using their bus drivers literally. Deliver packets are in some situations. I were taking a bus and a certain part of the community and setting up a hot spot and you know you mentioned that we have urban centres. It's important that we know that this is not just a role probably urban problem in some large large cities. Because maybe it's not a wealthy area. Some providers haven't even put broadband in those areas but then also it's expensive You know you. And i it's a it's a necessity for us. We're going to figure out a way to do it. But for some if you're you're you're out how to put food on your table or get broadband to your kids. Can you know ipad that have been delivered from the school. You're going to get food on the table. So this is a rule issue Where maybe some homes don't have access to it. But in urban areas it might be a financial issue both its financial about though so yes but you know what's interesting is they found that it's just for schools it's also telemedicine and people working from home in fact a lot of teachers didn't have the ability to do remote learning from their home because of broadband. So it was kind of just everything You know education was a big piece of it but it it. I think people realize that this is an economic driver for the state. And we need to fix this. And so what else is moving through The ledge obviously broadband is something. We've been Sounding the alarm on for a while. What else are we looking at in our those issues also getting a fresh look from our legislators there are several there were about nine or ten bills that were filed that doubt dealt with remote learning virtual learning and There are set. There are two that are looks like they're moving. That are gonna probably come into. I wouldn't call it in a collision because that sounds bad but conflicting with Taking pieces from both bills and eventually coming up with one. Maybe is a better way of saying at convergence synthesised. We'll see we'll call it a synthesis.

"Seventies and the late two thousands. You're probably familiar with schoolhouse. Rock i know. I am a big fan and if you're familiar with schoolhouse. Rock the series of educational cartoons. You might know their hit single. I'm just a bill about how a bill becomes a law at least at the federal level. Now i won't seem that for you one because i'm not a very good singer objected to that but also because we don't have the rights to a take a minute to imagine in your head. Remember it me too anyway. I only bring that up. Because understanding the legislative process can be difficult. It can be difficult on the federal level or the state level. Luckily here at ti. We have our own legislative expert and she is joining us as our guest speaker in the club this week to discuss the texas legislature. Right now. they're in the middle of their biennial session. And they are sprinting to the finish line and they're considering a number of important educational topics topics. The tci members have been paying attention to for a long time like online assessment and broadband and more.

"This morning. Our kickoff guest We're very excited to welcome an entrepreneur speaker life coach consultant and a former educator of fifteen or so years Vernon right. welcome to the morning. Kickoff is so good to happier will good morning right from the great state of texas. But you know what. Here's what's really interesting to realize into. Think about what was a conference right that that originally started here in texas to see the worldwide impact and for me to be a part of this collective dialogue while just absolutely while so so privileged and so honored to be with you all this morning and You know just ready to go ahead and pour into the people. And i want to say this real quick isn't i don't want to break any rules. Andrew is it okay for me to drop a protest this early is it okay Hang on let me choose it okay. And we check. I think we're good taking all right. You'll take you take the hit for the team. Absolutely all right. Let mcglade dropped approach. Have for you guys here real quick. There is a word that really comes to mind for me in. It's the word convergence may say that one more time so if you're watching this right now welcome so glad to be with you all this morning. That word is convergence and you know talk about not only pedagogy but talk about tech and to talk about. Seal and talk about all of these other things you know what really we're faced with right now and and i say faced with really we're embarking on this great opportunity. Take a step back. Look through the lens of convergence. Where do all of these things come together. And just why did i mention that before. Andrew the word. Wow just absolutely while i love wow right i like glenn virgin says well you know it makes you think of like you know when we were chatting before we even started. We were talking about how you know decisions you make and everything you do has to be contextualised right. You have to understand the effects something. We'll have i think of when i think of convergence then it's kind of like their many different things out in the atmosphere but we can find those points where they come together where we can get like a you know a little bit greater value than than what something might have a loan and one of the things we discussed. Was this word as well value. What is valuable. What makes something valuable when we think about the challenges were facing as educators Wh-what where what. What kind of should we be looking for what what what to us should make something valuable. It's not just scarcity. You know because we know there's no shortage of knowledge and always being generated So that can't be how we define value has to be something more based on how effective or useful it is right. Yeah and you know great topic there and great question really for all of us to to think about to look through and so i will share this So grateful for the clients that i've worked with in my private coaching. One on one. And the school districts that i've done consulting with and i will share this with you. All one of the things that i share with them is really talking about exactly what you have mentioned. Which is this term value. And so that tends to be a little nebulous sometimes right. It tends to be a little vague. Like what is value. Vernon what is value andrew. In simply i say this and i share this value is when we help someone else achieve. What is important to them. Say that one more time value is when we help someone else achieve what is important to them because when we hope someone else achieve what is important to them. Guess what we have done where the we have helped them in the beginning of the process the middle of the process or the end of the process or maybe all the way through the process we have made an impact. And let me tell you something folks. We all want change right. We want substantive and sustained change. Those are the two s.'s. If we don't make an impact ever really done what we need to do to change Yeah i can imagine you know. There's the sense that sharing something Creates more of something right. I loan you a book. We don't actually have to make two copies of the book you've got your you can read it and i can read it By helping someone. You're just expanding you're just adding positively right Is that kind of when you look for things that that can sustain. Things that can have an impact How're you personally measuring that value. Yeah in so really for me and let me say this real quick again. What a wonderful conference Just thank you and major prostitute an idea because this really brings us to very much so in line andrew. I don't know how you're inside. Saddam my head andrew. But you're doing a great job of it thank you. That's why they got me here. Is that whether you got you here. All right well. I appreciate it man because it really brings up another word. And that's this concept of community and when we when i ask people through the various speaking engagements that i've done in a different clients that i've worked with again At the district level and those one on one in small groups. I've asked him what is community mean to you. And typically what will we naturally think about community especially pre pandemic. We would think that community is really those that are geographically around us right. Those that live in our neighborhood. Or maybe in our city or town but really community as a broader definition in community really. Is this concept of those that we choose really engage and interact with around shared values. So as we go through this conference this weekend really through the whole month of march really looking at the replays and and just really diving into it over and over right. I want you to think about this. Who are we in community with whoever we invited into our communities because that is a game changer once we connect with people in community. Guess what happens. We start to find out what's important to someone else and as we start to interact and we start to learn about people's stories. Guess what happens. We get the opportunity to invite people into our stories and to find out what's important to us once we have that foundation. Yes what happens. We are able to say to ourselves. This is what's valuable to this person. And once we find out what's valuable to someone and what something is is that is truly meaningful to them. Then we are able to add clarity to this concept of what is quote unquote of value.
