What Is the Richmond Promise? Executive Director Chris Whitmore Explains
"What is the Richmond Promise and what are your goals with the organization in the community? Absolutely. So Richmond Promise is a post -secondary access and success initiative that launched here in Richmond in 2016. And Richmond Promise is actually an initiative of the Richmond City Council. So our, our city leaders created Richmond Promise and created our organization using $35 million in seed funding that has been on a pay schedule here at Richmond Promise over the course of nine years. And so our seed funding that the city council secured for us actually sunsets next year. But as a post -secondary access and success initiative, our goals are to help young people in Richmond access higher education pathways and educate young people about what higher education pathways exist for them to access. We support students with a scholarship that is applicable for up to six years of their undergraduate experience. And our scholars, and that's a scholarship of $1 ,500 per year, again, for up to six years of a student's undergraduate education. And our scholars can use that scholarship at any not -for -profit and accredited two -year college, four -year college or university or career technical education program throughout the United States. Now I'll talk about that a little bit more. So that's higher education access and scholarship support. When our students are in college or are in a career technical education program, we also support them with scholar success programming. And this is wraparound support to ensure that students not only get accepted into a degree program or into a career technical education program, but they're also supported to ensure that they earn their degrees, earn their certifications. And then after they've reached that milestone, and this is a growing portion of our organization, we are building out our career access and success programming to ensure, again, that young people not only go to college, but they can come back home to Richmond. They can come back home to the Bay Area or wherever in the world they choose to be and have support in pursuit of their career ambitions and career goals. So since 2016, our organization has supported more than 3 ,300 Richmond youth, and on average, we serve a little more than 1 ,300 youth per year who are scholars in our program. So that's a quick snapshot of what we

Jared Asch Talks With Chris Whitmore of the Richmond Promise
"I am joined by Christopher Whitmore of Richmond Promise. And Chris, first, tell us a little bit about your background and how you came to Richmond Promise. And then tell us, what is the Richmond Promise? Absolutely. First off, thank you for inviting me on the podcast. Really great to be here and have this conversation. So I was raised here in the city of Richmond. I still live in Richmond, and growing up here in our community, like so many other young people, I wanted to enter into a career pathway and build an adult life in which I could support the Richmond community and try to make this city, this community, the kind of place that I always envisioned it to be, which is a place where everyone can thrive. Everyone can feel welcome here in Richmond, feel like they have opportunities from the city, from the community to be who they want to be, to contribute to this space and to make this city better for everyone. And so with that really broad, general goal in mind, I decided at a very young age, elementary school age, that I wanted to be a public official when I grew up. I wanted to work specifically in the mayor's office of the city of Richmond when I grew up. And my godmother, Erma Anderson, was mayor when I was in elementary school. She was the first African -American woman elected mayor of the city of Richmond. I grew up with folks like John Gioia, who's our county supervisor and has been our representative for several years on the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors and several other folks who really inspired me to want to build out a career in public service. And so with that in mind, I went off to college. I went out of state to Webster University in St. Louis, Missouri. I studied political science with an emphasis in public law. After graduating from Webster in 2014, I moved to Washington, D .C., where I was accepted into a congressional fellowship. And through that fellowship, I worked in the office of then U .S. Senator Bill Nelson's office of Florida. I moved back to Richmond in December 2014 and got my first job, first full time job working for Congressman Mark DeSaulnier, who at the time was the representative, newly elected representative for California's 11th congressional district. I had the privilege of working as an outreach coordinator in his Richmond office, which is actually just down the hall from where my current office is today. A year later, 2016, I got to accomplish that childhood goal of mine of working in the mayor's office. I worked for Mayor Tom Butt, starting off initially as his director of community engagement, later promoted to be his director of policy and strategy. After about two years in that office, I went over to the city and county of San Francisco, where I went to the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission and worked on their policy and government affairs team. And for about a year and a half, I wrote, along with my supervisor, all of the water, power and wastewater legislation for the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. And I'll speed up the story. So about a year and a half later, I came back here to the city of Richmond and served as Tom Butt's chief of staff for exactly two years. And two years ago, October 4th, 2021, I started as Richmond Promise's second executive director. And it's been a great journey over the last two years, and I was really inspired to make the transition from the mayor's office to Richmond Promise. Just thinking back on my experience growing up in Richmond, having a goal to go to college at a young age for the sake and purpose of really accomplishing my career goals. And just being reminded constantly that there are so many other young people in Richmond who have educational and career goals for themselves. And those young people also deserve to have really strong support systems in our community to help them go off and do the things that they want to do. And I came over to Richmond Promise to strengthen that support system for our entire community.

Want to learn about a pterosaurid and call it pterodactyl? How to take a perfect boob with all about fractals? Genghis Khan, Attila the Hun, the Lizzie border murders and the cannonball runs. Don't explain everything till your brain explodes. It's Chuck and Josh, it's stuff you should know. You should know. Word up, Jerry. All right. So when we broke, actually, we were talking about horror movies, but a little bit before that, I was talking some about how it's a little frustrating, not frustrating, but maybe kind of funny that they didn't put together that Madagascar so clearly broke off from Africa and fits very nicely if you just shove it back together right there in its spot. And as I was studying today, I have my my light up globe on my desk. And, you know, when you look at that thing, my my medium smart eight year old daughter can say, hey, daddy, you know, it looks like Africa could fit into South America. And it looks like all of these things sort of could be puzzled together to form a larger supercontinent. That's a medium smart, but she knows the word supercontinent. That's pretty smart. But it seems pretty obvious to us now. But it was all about land bridges back then. And sort of this idea of supercontinent came about a little slower. Yeah, because if you stand on any continent and just stand around and wait, you will not perceive that you're moving, even though you are moving.
InTouch - Think STEAM Careers, Podcast with Dr. Olufade
Favela's Endrow Metelus Is Empowering Communities Through Fashion and STEM
"Everyone. This is Dr. Oh, how are you? Again, we are on one of the episodes, STEAM to a guest who is just phenomenal. His name is Andrew Matilas. He is incredible. I say that he is incredible because one of the things that he is doing that I truly like is that he had a fashion, actually a fashion design company, and it is called Favela, if I'm not mistaken. Yes, Favela Boys Apparel, correct. Oh my God. Wow. And then guess what he's doing? Guess what he's doing with that company? So he's also using that company, man. He's a man after my heart. He's also using that company actually to also get resources to sponsor STEM programs in the Caribbean and also in the United States. I thought that is innovative. I like that because we all know how it is difficult to get sponsors, right? Or when you write a grant, it's very competitive and it takes time. But having your own project and using part of that project to sponsor a STEM program, I think that it is innovative and all of us should be doing the same thing. We're smart enough to do that. I said I was going to use 10 % of my source, African source, if I ever get successful, right? He's going to be using, he told me that he's going to be using 15 % of his profit, whatever profit that he gets to sponsor his STEM programs. I thought that is innovative. Now he's challenging me now. Now I've started to reconsider my 10%. So let me let him introduce himself and tell us a little bit about what he's doing. Please go ahead. Hey, I'm doing great. Like I said, every day is a holiday and I really mean that. Life is beautiful, right? So thank you very much for having me. I'm gladly appreciated being here to talk about STEM and talking about the brand I have and also talking about how I can get pretty much people to come and be part of this project, right? Because it's not just for me, it's for us because we can all benefit from this, right? So just to go in more details, the brand name is Favela Boys Apparel, which is a brand that we donate 15 % of a net profit towards STEM education for underserved communities, right? So not only in the US, but we also operate in the US, Latin America, the Caribbean, as well as we're looking also into Africa. Just to give you a little example, earlier this year in January, I was in Brazil. We were donating a few computers to a nonprofit organization that focused on STEM because the kids needed for coding cybersecurity where they teach at that particular nonprofit organization, but also the adults will come in at night also learning different skills, different trade, that kind of system as well.
Capstone Conversation
Jared Asch and Teri Killgore Discuss Boosting Regional Economic Activity
"Mentioned earlier, the Diablo Valley Tech Conference that was held and in it, there was a large conversation of in the Diablo region, how do more cities work together? So of instead all about Walnut Creek, Concord, the Concord neighborhood weapons station, Martinez going to compete, even Brentwood, how could the cities work a little better together to attract and build a regional economy? That's a really great question. Well, I think the first step is to identify common interests, and there are some things that we work with the county economic development office on. Work with the East Bay EDA to meet monthly to share common interests. I think the challenge right now is that each of our markets is in a very different place in its maturity cycle. And so the advantage of each community is they have their own personality, they have their own vibe, they have their own unique assets. And so could we market more as a region? We certainly could. I think part of the challenge is that our communities are intentionally very different. And so we don't want to lose the quirk that what's so cool about Martinez and we don't want to lose the potential of the naval weapons station. But it makes it hard because they're in such different places in their life cycle. And so the tenants that Walnut Creek would be going after are different than if I were in Martinez that are different than the ones I would be trying to attract. So could we better share information? Yes, but I think more importantly, we need to identify what are those common interests. And one of them is just making sure that everybody knows the North 680 corridor is open for business. We are here and ready to help in any way we can to bring opportunity to our community. And I think it's a joint marketing effort, perhaps amongst all the communities, to Silicon Valley to say, guess what? Your workers live here, save them a bridge toll or two, save us all the miles that they're commuting and help us really bring the value of the technologies that have been unleashed in the last few years to bear by having some field offices, by thinking about the North 680 corridor as a secondary place for business, if not your primary place. And that's, I think, a shared message we could all partner on well.

Jared Asch Welcomes Walnut Creek's Teri Killgore to Capstone Conversation
"To this episode of The Capstone Conversation. I am your host, Jared Ash. Today, we are joined by Terri Kilgore from the city of Walnut Creek, where she serves as the assistant city manager in overseas economic development. One of the themes of this podcast is to talk about where are our communities going, but it's also important to look at economic development and how cities are continuing to improve post COVID in the new era with increased online shopping. And Walnut Creek has dove into a number of economic development studies and has a plan for the future of its city to grow. So we're going to introduce Terri here to tell us a little bit more about herself. Welcome. Thanks, Jared. It's nice to be here. So I've been with the city of Walnut Creek five years now, and it's been a wild five years with COVID thrown in the middle, as everyone has experienced. It's been a pleasure to serve both as the assistant city manager and economic development director. And while we had to pivot really quickly to help keep our businesses open during the pandemic and that involved outdoor dining and streamlining permitting for HVAC systems and other things people needed to do to survive, it's exciting that we're now back to working on real economic development work is what I would call it, where we're building a strategy and an approach. And we took the intentional path of picking an action plan with a two year horizon. As you mentioned, we did several studies to help inform us on this journey. As you can imagine, most of the data sets that we traditionally rely on, like the census and the American Community Survey, are just really dated and don't reflect the world post -COVID. So we went out to our brokerage community, got some quick updates on the state of the market and different subsectors. And so we think we've built a plan that is going to set our community up for long term success. And the future is bright for Walnut Creek. We obviously have challenges, as does every community. But we're starting from a really strong base. And so we're excited to really dig in and get working on these elements that will really move the ball forward. Awesome. So let's dive in to it. I like the fact that you're talking strategy, short term, long term. A lot of cities are going after just a big fish, right? They looking are to get a company that's going to have five or ten thousand high paying jobs in there. Walnut Creek is having multiple elements into their plans. So let's talk through what did you learn in the study first and then we'll go through elements of the plan. Yeah, the studies kind of reconfirmed a lot of what we already knew about our economy, which is that we are very driven by small to medium companies. We've got some notable headquarters located here as well. But that our bread and butter is really folks who live in the community and work in the community and grow their businesses here. And so there there is one strategy and economic development, like you said, where you go elephant searching and hope to get the one big thing. But that's a really risky strategy. It often takes a very long time to pay off. And so you've got to find a very specific niche where you can market what you have available that meets exactly with these unique needs of these mega companies. And so we looked at it and said that that's one approach. But we already have a nice mix of companies in our economic ecosystem. And I think the growing wisdom over the years in economic development is it's better to do economic gardening, is what they call it, where you help your local companies grow, you try to attract similar industries based on industries that are already present. And so for us, our big market drivers are medical, finance, insurance, real estate, a little bit of tech software, more so. And then a lot of small businesses that thrive in the retail and in the restaurant sectors. And so how do we really help those businesses that are here grow? And that includes reaching out to them and figuring out who do they know, who else might be looking for space, who are their vendors that they wish were close by so that we can continue to build on the existing strength of our market instead of kind of placing a bet on red and hoping everything just lands perfectly.
Simply Bitcoin
A highlight from US Government Succeeds in Criminalizing Bitcoin Privacy | EP 867
"You You're against freedom Yeah, welcome to another episode of simply Bitcoin live your number one source for the peaceful Bitcoin revolution car breaking news culture medic warfare We will be your guide through the separation of money and say and today is one of those episodes We're gonna talk about the separation of money and state the US government's attack. Well, I can't say that that's not a fair characterization Some members of the US government took advantage of the tragedy happening in the Middle East to and their allies in the legacy corporate media to Take advantage of what's happening to really pass through this narrative that a Bitcoin and crypto was being used to fund terrorism and Then that led to the FinCEN which is part of the Treasury to recommend these Broad regulations that I have no idea how that is gonna be enforced But whatever that essentially would make it so that every single Basically every single Bitcoin transaction how it currently stands would have to be reported now after the fact it came out that the article Was blatantly false it was misrepresented and misrepresented the data, but that didn't matter right the FinCEN proposal stayed There's currently an open comment period which I highly suggest you get involved in just like leave your thoughts But it seems like they got away with it because essentially Without the proposal even being introduced. What ended up happening is that already some financial institutions are already blocking Certain Bitcoin transactions that are involved in coin mixing so if you samurai if you use wasabi and then you send that Bitcoin to a An exchange it might get flagged right now. There was a huge amount of backlash over the last week Basically putting the blame on the exchanges Or on some exchanges in particular But the thing is what you guys have to understand is that exchanges aren't banks right as long as there's the on and off -ramp choke point and as long as People are using legacy banks to buy Bitcoin That is a choke point and that is a choke point that governments are gonna take advantage of I think moments like these highlights the importance of really understanding How to use Bitcoin peer -to -peer how to download peer -to -peer or how to use peer -to -peer alternatives like bisque And like a steco huge fan of a beauty on is doing with the steco But yeah, this is part of it. This is part of the separation of money and state and the thing that aggravates me the most is The fact that they were able to really pass this narrative even though is completely false and Without it being even introduced Banks and financial institutions are taking these preemptive measures which is absolutely crazy and then it's the continuation of privacy, which is Completely against the fourth amendment in the United States, which is no unreasonable search and seizure That just completely got thrown out the window But I mean look this is Exactly what you would expect As you know, the the the example that I always bring up is like a wounded animal trapped into a corner That's when they get most vicious, right? and I think that whether is Elizabeth Warren's Freudian slip a couple weeks ago where she's Christine desperation Lagarde's when she's saying that the CBDC is coming and it's here to stay and there's absolutely nothing you could do about it Or whether she even gets caught saying the quiet part out loud saying that Bitcoin is an escape valve, right? There's multiple signs that show you That the powers of be the people that want you to use fiat currencies in the future of fiat currencies which are central bank digital currencies are Absolutely terrified of Bitcoin but most importantly not only are they terrified of Bitcoin They're terrified of people taking self -custody of their money which won't allow them to confiscate it easily either do either either through direct confiscation or Confiscation through inflation because that's really what inflation is at the end of the day.

What is up, you Cafe Bitcoiners? What up? Hey, Alex, can you hear me? Yeah, man. Damn, the service is amazing. It's fantastic. I was going to have you co -host today, but if you have terrible interwebs, then we'll have to do it again a different time. Yeah, I'm sitting solid right now, but it's my last day in El Salvador, so it's touch and go, but it feels good right now. It feels real good. I people hear laughing and enjoying themselves in the background. Man. Yeah, that's Blake just got out of the surf, and now the homie Paul's taking my fish out, got a session in. I mean, this place is next level, but don't come here, the surf sucks. How you been, man? How's everyone doing? I know I've been off for a little bit, but keeping track of everything and saw that the SEC got dealt another, what looks like a little legal blow. Their legal department is, are they even batting 500 at this point? I don't know. I didn't hear anything. What are you talking about there? I thought I read some about Binance getting granted a confidentiality ruling that basically blocked a bunch of information from the grasp of the SEC for clients. I don't know. I just headlined Reddit, so don't quote me. Didn't dig a lot into it, but saw that that had occurred. Yeah, I didn't hear that. It would suck to be Gary Gunzler right now. Yeah, dude. They're sporting like city attorney type numbers, just getting mopped up, but I don't know. What do you mean? I'm sure he's gotten a job offer for BlackRock. He's sitting pretty. Oh, that's a good point, actually. Anybody want to take odds on Peter's thought there? I think Peter's probably right. I would say the likelihood of that is probably fairly high. That's a hell of a trifecta there. You should take that with Joe Carlos, sorry, Peter, like a ETF still within 2023 on top of a BlackRock job acceptance from Gensler thing. It's got to be like a hundred to one. Yeah, the theta on that is pretty high right now, so no. Yeah, that's like Buster Douglas numbers. It's wild. You know, we were joking in here the other day. Joe came in and we were talking a little bit about the ETFs and Joe was like, I don't understand why we're not seeing an ETF where you can see the actual addresses for the ETF you can verify on chain and then you have redemption directly to shareholders from the trust. And I was joking. I was like, man, somebody is going to do it. We should do it. Me and you, Joe. Let's do this thing. So people were tweeting at me like, is Swan going to do an ETF now? And it's like, dude, I was totally freaking joking about that. That's classic. Where's American HODL this morning? He was caffeinated up on fire yesterday. Dude, he was cracking me up and that guy is funny as hell. I was trying to hack a coconut up in El Salvador and I almost chopped my pinky off. Mickey Koss, good morning, Shelly. Good morning, Terrence. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. So we're going to have a pretty chill day today. We're going to be doing some beginners Q &A. We have a couple of news items to discuss. There's a lot of Bitcoin mining rigs getting plugged in apparently. Also, we're going to revisit. It's fun to, you know, the Internet's an amazing thing. You can come back and revisit stupid shit people said about Bitcoin. You know, Bitcoin is dying. This is dying. That's dying. Bitcoin is going to boil the oceans, all that. There's some interesting comments from Dave Ramsey that we're going to bring back up. Apparently, the central bank over in England wants all systemically important stablecoin firms to back their issuance with non -interest bearing central bank deposits. I mean, that's like a full on lizard move, in my opinion. We'll discuss that a little more too. But yeah. All right. Let's do the intro to the show. You're listening to Cafe Bitcoin. Welcome to Cafe Bitcoin. This is episode 476. Shout -outs to supporters on Fountain Nosterness. Our mission for the show is to provide signal in a sea of noise, teaching the other seven billion people on this planet why there is hope because of this bright orange future that we call Bitcoin. Today is November the 14th, Tuesday, 2023. Man, we're on our way to the next halving. It's coming up. Where's Ant when I need him? Here he comes. Yeah, man. I think, Ant, I'm going to just like lead off right with you if you're ready. I don't know if you can hear me right now, but we should start with some stats. Let's get some orientation. We haven't done stats in a long time. So let's begin with the stats and get an idea of where we are. Ant, are you there? Are you ready? Yeah, I got some stats. I got time chain stats up right here. Let's go. Taco, talk to us about this impenetrable freedom force field. What's it at? Current USD price, $36 ,587. We are at block height, $816 ,745. Current hash rate, seven -day moving average is around 435 exahash per second. Let's see, mempool transaction is still full a little bit. We got $211 ,000 climbing. The fastest fee right now is around 79 sats per v -byte. Good news, we got 161 days about to the halving, and we are currently up 25 % on the 200 -day And right now, let's see, sats per fiat dollar, is that how you say it? It's 2 ,732 sats per dollar right now. The last block was found by Antpool, and the total subsidy and fees was just over 7 Bitcoin. And I think it was around 10 % of that block was fees, so very interesting. We're 88 % into the halving. $23 ,254, we just hit a block. Block's left. And that's pretty much it for now. I think that's it. Sats per dollar. You can buy 2 ,734 sats per dollar. I didn't hear you if you said that, so I'm just saying it. That's okay, it moved. Technically two different data points. And we have also, there is also 93 .05 % of the total supply of Bitcoin that will ever be mined in the history of mankind has already been mined and distributed. So you might want to get some just in case this thing catches on a little bit. Hey, Ant, if you're in a stable situation, let's get you up as a co -host, my man. Okay, I'm going to switch networks. Okay, you let us know when you're ready. D++, good morning. Thank you for joining us. I know it's super early for you over there on the West Coast. Good morning. I have a huge smile on my face because I'm actually driving over to Club Lab here in Austin, and I feel like I just got the weather report. I felt like I was experiencing the future in real time for a minute there, hearing all of the stats on what Bitcoin's up to. I want that every morning. It's so good. Isn't it cool? You know, to me, it's like an orientation thing. It's useful to know where you are to figure out where you're going. You have to know where you are to figure out where you're going or how you're going to get to where you're going. But it's also really useful because when I started hearing stats like this when I was a newbie Bitcoiner, I didn't know what they meant. I was like, you guys are saying all these words that I don't know the meaning to. And it caused me to look them up, which forced me to learn about it, which was awesome. Also, 435 ExaHash is crazy. Last I checked, it was 420. And it's just so crazy to me how the hash has completely decoupled from the price. I mean, going on for probably a couple of years now, ever since we left China, it's just wild. But the big news for me today is I am driving to PlubLab. As you guys know, it's the Bitcoin startup accelerator and community accelerator in Austin. You have to come through if you're ever in town. And what I'm so excited about is I am enrolled in Nifty Lisa Nye's Taproot class. So I'm taking her Taproot class. She's pretty much one of the only people on the planet that can teach it because what we're doing is we're taking the spec, which is to say the BIPs, and we're implementing them, which is to say we're creating our own library that makes Taproot happen. And she's one of the only people that can really do this because she's one of the only people who can translate from the BIPs into the code because there are certain things that are kind of missing or glossed over. Obviously, it's all in there, right? But it's pretty hard to take the BIP and to just translate it into creating your own Bitcoin library. So it's so fun. It's very challenging.

A highlight from Episode 129 - Gitcoin - Elevating public goods with decentralization, quadratic funding, and community coordination
"You know, there are so many neat things that people are trying already. You know, like, for example, we ran around for a community group in Oakland, who had funding from their local government, it was basically all community organizations. You know, so really cool to see that play itself out. Even before we went down this road, Milwaukee was already doing some experimentation with quadratic rounds for very sort of niche applications, like helping people in Denver, Colorado, whose restaurants were struggling during the pandemic. We did a support for Ukraine round that was kind of a targeted approach at funding for that particular use case. But, you know, I think then another neat thing that's happening, which you may not even have heard about yet, is we now actually have a direct grants platform, which means it doesn't use quadratic funding. It's basically a way to use Web3 rails and all the existing tools, but just run more of like a traditional grants program. But I think we might start seeing things like people using quadratic voting to make decisions about how to give out the money amongst a smaller group of people internally. And so you might not be harnessing the wisdom of the crowd, but you can still have that transparency, that accountability, you know, all that kind of nifty stuff that comes along with using these tools. And also anybody who's created a grant proposal on builder potentially can apply to an even bigger number of different types of opportunities. So, you know, so I think, you know, we really, you know, are so just lucky to have such an innovative, creative, thoughtful global community. You know, like, we just saw a round run in Latin America where like the majority of the grant proposals were in Spanish, you know, and like we frankly, don't even have the resources internally to like provide support and documents and web pages. They just did it themselves, you know, which is so cool to see. And I think we're going to just see more and more of that. Like there's a Chinese community round that's happening. I've heard there's an African continent round that people are talking about, you know, basically any issue or cause you can think of, you know, there's probably somebody out there thinking about how they could run a grants program to do something about it. You know, and if somebody out there is listening and has some nifty idea, even without a big matching pool, like, you know, just like even a small amount of money that you put into a matching pool, or even just creating the space for people to give to something that matters, like even without a matching pool, I think can just be a really powerful thing. You know, there's something about just kind of creating the container for the conversation to bring the people together. And, you know, the neat thing about these grants programs is like the grantees are the ones who do a lot of that organizing, who bring their community with them, you know, and often do actually do a better job of supporting and onboarding people and creating guides and documentation and all that kind of good stuff in a way that makes sense to their community. So, yeah, I think it's super exciting and I definitely think about it a lot. Yeah, no, totally. I can see the excitement just as you talk about it now. And I think that, you know, what you said around the grantees is spot on too. It's just really cool seeing like how they've all kind of stepped up and contributed to the Gitcoin community in different ways, whether it's creating these educational onboarding materials, setting up one -on -one calls with people to walk them through getting a wallet set up and a passport set up, you know, which is fantastic. It's been really, really powerful. And, you know, obviously we have another Gitcoin granting round coming up November 15th, I believe you said was when it was starting, which is really exciting Gitcoin grant round 19. 56 million plus in funds allocated, really incredible. It's really been a catalyst for thousands of early stage Web3 projects. For those listening that haven't yet participated in a Gitcoin grant round, but are interested in maybe becoming a grantee, they have a really cool public good project, but maybe they're a little nervous. What advice would you give them? Yeah, I love this question. So a lot really depends on sort of what your starting point is, you know, so maybe slightly different advice, depending on like, you know, if you've already got a DAO that you're a part of, you know, you've got friends in the Web3 space, you know, I could definitely give some very specific advice for those folks, you know, versus like somebody who's brand new to the space, doesn't have an existing community. I think there's a place for everybody in Gitcoin grants rounds. And a big part of what we try to do as Gitcoin is like level the playing field, make sure that everybody has an opportunity to get in front of an audience, you know, that grantees can be discovered based on the kind of the quality and interest of what they're building. But yeah, I'd say the universal stuff, you know, it's very much like any community organizing or marketing. Like, you know, think about the picture that you put up as your picture, think about how you summarize the information in your grant proposal, think about the title that you use, good to have the name of your organization, and something to do with your value proposition. So people, maybe they're just looking for you by your name, and they know who you are, and they can find you that way. Maybe they've never heard of your project, but they're interested in your value proposition. So trying to be succinct and having both those things, kind of without needing to click away and go read it, you know, also that like, there's a bit of information that shows up kind of above the fold, as they say, like, you know, kind of in that little preview window, if you have a good little TLDR, that's like, this is what we're trying to do, this is how we intend to do it, this is why we're doing it, whatever you think is important for people to understand, like, I'm trying to raise this money so I can do this, you know, the more that you can be super clear about, like, by next round, or by six months from now, I hope to have accomplished this, and you can follow along and and sort of follow that journey. I think that's really important. Also, if you've been a grantee for more than one round, I know we're talking about new grantees, but updating people is super important, too. They sort of haven't seen that you've done anything with the funding, people start wondering, you know, like, you know, what are you really doing with this money? Should I give again? But I would say for like, people who in particular, who might be nervous, who don't have a web3 community, I would say like, there's a lot of people who are super supportive and helpful in our community. Like, so starting by coming to like our Twitter spaces, the Gitcoin hosts, which you can follow along at the Gitcoin Twitter account, and we're always announcing when the next ones will be. Also, you can usually find there's like a grantee support page, where we have like an event listing, which you can find linked to right off of the main Gitcoin website, gitcoin .co. So I mean, just follow along there, you know, and that can give you a sense of like, just if you just show up, you know, I can tell you that we are super friendly and supportive, you know, and you can just like come and talk about what you're working on, or even just listen for a while and see how other people are doing it and get comfortable, I think people will get a sense that it's a very welcoming and friendly space. You know, but also, like, there's a million, maybe not million, there's definitely tons of these Twitter spaces being hosted by people. If you're not already active on Twitter, I hear you, there's a lot going on in the world. And Twitter is not always my favorite place either these days. But, you know, it happens to be where a lot of the crypto community is, you know, definitely wherever your community is, like, try to bring them on board. But it's a lot easier to get donations from people who are already familiar with crypto, who are already familiar with Gitcoin than it is to like, you know, take somebody from never even having a wallet to like setting up their first wallet funding it, you know, connecting to passport going through all those stages. Definitely great guides out there. You know, I think it's a great idea to like host onboarding sessions or like office hours to help people in your community might want to support you. But definitely the lowest hanging fruit is the existing Gitcoin community that's quite active round after round. And you can find those people on our Twitter spaces, you can find those people, you know, in various discords, but also on the Twitter spaces that other people are hosting. And, you know, and I'd say one other thing I would throw out there is Telegram. All these tools that, you know, if you're from outside the web through space might be a little bit daunting. But you know, if you just join the Gitcoin Telegram group, there's so many people providing peer support, helping each other answering questions. Like if you just jump into that thread, which again, you can find it directly through our homepage, you know, you can from there, like find people who might want to help you with what you're building, or might have a similar project and want to collaborate with you, you know, or, you know, want to attend your Twitter space if you host one and invite other people. So yeah, I would say just like, focus on the people more than the technology. And like, figure out where the low hanging fruit is of like, where those people are that, you know, might be interested in working with you and supporting you. And don't hesitate to reach out and like DM people and, you know, and ask questions. You know, like, I'm always happy to chat if I can find the time. You know, definitely lots of people who are doing their project for the first time reach out. And like, you know, even share what you're thinking about posting in your grant proposal with others like, you know, there's no wrong time to do that. Even if you're listening to this right in the middle of an active grants round, and you missed the opportunity to apply, it's not too late to get involved to start listening to those Twitter spaces to join the Telegram. You can even post your grant proposal and then just apply three months from now in the next round. You know, so can't hurt to like, just moving start things forward, start onboarding your community, start playing with the tools yourself. Really helps to actually go and donate yourself to if you haven't before, because having done it yourself, you can then help other people do it more easily. Yeah, definitely. That's great advice. And you know, I think me personally, I only participated in two rounds, but was really kind of involved more as a community member and like just kind of listening in and being a part of the community before then, right. And it was a great way for me to learn and to kind of get my feet wet a little bit and to see what's going on before diving in headfirst. So great advice. Thank you so much for sharing that. As we near the end of our conversation, there's one thing I want to ask you about. I know that web3 can obviously be very stressful, fast paced, especially, you know, during Gitcoin grant season two, it can be feel like a bit of a sprint, especially for I imagine, the team that's working on the back end. You're also big, I know that you're a big advocate for getting outside for nature for laughter is the best medicine. I know you like to post some videos of you juggling, you know, by the lake is kind of a way to disconnect. Tell me more about how you stay grounded in this busy world of web3. Because I know that there's something that a lot of people struggle with. It's hard, man, honestly. And I can tell you, like, having spent much of my life working on, like, what feels like really life and death issues a lot of the time, like, this is definitely something I've struggled with for a lot of my life. I've definitely gone through cycles of burnout and like, you know, all that, you know, I would say just like, trying to not take everything too seriously, trying to take a step back and see everything in perspective, you know, surrounding yourself with like, friends and family that like, know you and love you and support you. You know, like, getting outside every day really makes a big difference to me. You know, my dogs are a big part of my life. You know, and they're, they're really a gift, because like, they demand that I take them outside. So even if I'm not feeling like going for a walk, they always do. And, you know, I feel like, basically, like, I having like a stressometer, you know, like, if you can sort of like monitor how you're doing, and when you get past like a certain threshold, like, just knowing that it's always okay to just like step away for a bit, you know, even just like, you know, just putting everything on pause and taking three deep breaths can go a really long way. But you know, like, I definitely feel like you really genuinely recharge your batteries by like going to a park or, you know, like the whole touch grass drink water thing like you have to take care of yourself to be able to like, you know, take care of business. You know, so like drinking lots of water or like, I mean, it sounds like, you know, sort of trite or soundbites or whatever, but I think it's really true. You know, and the older I've gotten, like the more just I haven't been able to just continue to like push indefinitely, you know, like that it used to be that I would just burn the candle at both ends and like, you know, it's like, I don't really need to go to bed at a reasonable time. I'll just stay up all night every day working and, you know, operate on zero sleep and not eat enough food and, you know, go for drinks at lunch and you know, like it just like all of that catches up with you after a while for sure. Totally. So I mean, like, as much as everything feels really urgent, like I think if you think back on what felt urgent, like six months ago, three months ago, month ago, even a week ago, sometimes, like a lot of the times things seem a lot more urgent and a lot more stressful in the moment that they really are. You know, so like just trying to have that perspective. And like, yeah, just, you know, take the time that you need to like pace yourself. That's, that's, you know, it's a marathon, not a sprint, that whole thing definitely can feel like a sprint. But, you know, even during the grants round, it honestly, it is a marathon. Like, you know, it's a, it's a couple of weeks with like, at least a week or two on either end of like, preparing and unwinding. And, you know, especially for our team, like, you know, I worry, even when I see like myself or other team members, like pushing a little too hard. And definitely, we see that with grantees too. But yeah, I mean, maybe just get off Twitter. I mean that, you know, the algorithms have a way of like, sort of sucking us back in, keeping us engaged. So, you know, like, you know, spend some time, more time on Farcaster or Lenster. You know, like, there's a lot of good vibes out there too, if you're in the web3 space. And honestly, I think there's a lot of alpha to be had in those social media networks too, that like, because it's a much smaller community, you can really focus on like talking to people who are working on similar things without a lot of the drama and chaos. And, you know, so like, even just making some little adjustments to how you're sort of spending your social media time, I find that pretty helpful for me. I actually hang out on Mastodon a lot recently, because it's an old school decentralized platform with all kinds of interesting people, and definitely different perspectives that I'm not hearing all the time in crypto Twitter. So yeah, I don't know. Everybody's got different things that are going to work different for them. You know, if you were having this conversation with one of my coworkers, you'd say meditation, you know, spend an hour at least every day meditating. You know, another coworker of mine would say, go dancing every night. You know, like, so I mean, you know, just like, I guess, like, figure out what it is that like, brings you joy outside of the space and like, force yourself to do a little bit more of it. And I think the end result is like, you'll actually find that your project is more successful, you're showing up with just like better vibes in general, and, and that resonates out and draws more people in and, you know, so, you know, there's even self -interested reasons beyond just like your health that I think, you know, people will notice if you if you make that little extra bit of effort not to burn yourself out. And if you are burning out, like, take some time away, like it, you know, might feel impossible. Like I definitely can relate to that. It feels like every time I take a week off at Gitcoin, I come back, it's a different organization that I left. But, you know, if you're in the right place with the right people, you need to trust that, you know, things are going to be okay. And, you know, if you're not feeling that way, like, maybe that's an indication that you should be thinking about if you are in the right place. And, you know, maybe there's a lot of different orgs, a lot of different, you know, things that you can get involved in, like, don't feel so trapped in the moment, especially for a lot of the younger people in this space, like, you know, don't have a mortgage or kids that they have to take care of, like, you can take those risks, you can make big changes, you can step away if you need to and experiment, explore other things, like, you know, give yourself that permission when the consequences are not nearly as severe as, you know, it will be like when you're, you know, in your 40s or 50s or whatever. Totally. Yeah. Yeah. That is some great advice. Well, thank you for sharing that, all that. And I can definitely resonate with a lot of that, especially the dog part. I have a very hyperactive black lab who I need to get outside at least for three or four walks a day. So it's been, oh, and there's my cat poking its head in the door right now, just on cue as we talk about pets. That's hilarious. So yeah, great advice. Thank you so much for sharing and so important in this, you know, rapidly growing, fast moving space. So it's been a pleasure just learning from you and hearing everything you've had to say. I've learned so much just from this short conversation. Obviously, we weren't able to cover everything. So for those listening along that want to follow you get in touch, learn more about Gitcoins work, what's the best way for them to do that? I am at Ben West on Twitter, because I was lucky enough to have a friend who registered my account for me in 2008. And I'm the same pretty much everywhere. I think Benjamin West on Telegram. I actually, if you go to my Twitter, I have like one of those link tree type things that you can click on it, I'll show you like a bunch of different places to reach me. But Twitter, Twitter definitely works. And probably most people listening to this are active on Twitter. So yeah, come find me there. That's probably the easiest one. Drew, thank you so much for doing what you're doing. By the way, I think you have crypto altruism is great. And the people the interview are super fascinating. And, you know, so so I'm, it's an honor to be part of your podcast. And thanks for doing what you're doing. Yeah, well, thank you. That means a lot. It really does coming from coming from you to hear that I really appreciate that. So thank you. And thank you for sharing all that information. I'll make sure to include that in the show notes for those listening along. And to wrap things up on this amazing conversation, I'm definitely going to have to take some time to reflect, you know, after after this conversation, because so many really cool things we've talked about. I like to ask everyone the same ending question. If you could name one thing that excites you most about the social impact potential of web three, what would it be and why? Hmm. And that's a tough one, because there's so many things that excite me about it. Truth be told, if I could pick one thing that excites me the most, but the thing that excites me the most is the opportunity for communities to empower themselves and accomplish their goals. Like I, you know, when I see projects come into reality that, you know, may not have otherwise that, like, are possible, because of, you know, whether it's Gitcoin grants, or just web three tools in general, you know, that excites me, there's, there's a lot of specific use cases that really are close to my heart. But like, I think the thing that's underneath all of it, you know, is that sort of cultural shift that, you know, that we talked about earlier, like that, you know, idea that decentralization really matters that, you know, individuals should not just be treated like cogs in a machine. You know, and I think for so many of us, we live in these worlds where like, our work day to day is not fulfilling. And, you know, we feel like we're not treated with respect. And to me, that just really sucks that that's fundamentally where we're at in our world. Like, you know, we've kind of democratized so much of our world. Yet, like, our work is this one place that is fundamentally undemocratic, fundamentally exploitative, often, and extractive. And, you know, and like, I think there's a way to change that, that's outside of these kind of old, like, left right socialism, capitalism paradigms. And like, to me, that's really exciting, because I feel like we've been trapped in this kind of debate that doesn't really go anywhere for a really long time. And like, there's a lot more nuance to be had in terms of like, how markets can be used by communities in positive ways, and how people can empower themselves, you know, by using some nifty tools and kind of working together. And, you know, really, just by all of us believing in this thing that we're doing all kinds of amazing stuff as possible. So yeah, I think that's really at the core of what excites me the most. Yeah, that's such a good one. And I couldn't agree more. I think that, you know, Web3 is such an interesting kind of confluence of so many different people and ideas and, you know, philosophies that it's really cool to just kind of be able to build and without kind of having to go through those same debates over and over again. So that's a great point to end on. Couldn't agree more. Ben, it's been an absolute pleasure. Thank you so much. Really enjoyed this conversation. And thank you for all you're doing to uplift public goods, Gitcoin and yeah, and to inspire so many early stage projects and builders. So thank you work you're doing. It's been an inspiration to me personally, and I know for many others as well. So thanks for being here today. My pleasure. Honestly, it's an honor and a privilege. And hello to your cat there who's joining us for the tail end. Yes, he always likes to make an appearance. Thanks, Ben. A huge thank you to Ben for coming on the crypto altruism podcast. Whenever someone asks me why I love the Web3 community so much, I typically point to Gitcoin grant season. It's a true testament to the power of decentralization and leveraging the wisdom of the crowd to fund what matters. Gitcoin is an incredible catalyst for public goods in Web3.

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

European indices were more positive yesterday, with the FTSE 100 up 0 .9%, the German DAX up 0 .6%, and the Euro Stoxx 600 up 0 .75%. The US figures are extending this trend for the DAX and the as investors digest the UK cabinet reshuffle. In Asia, stocks were cautiously positive today, with both Japan's Nikkei index and China's Shanghai Composite climbing 0 .3 % and the Hang Seng losing almost 0 .2%. In commodities, oil continues to head up, despite a report out this morning from the International Energy Agency that insists global oil markets won't be as tight as expected this quarter. The agency recognizes that demand is growing, as OPEC said yesterday, but non -OPEC supply apparently is growing even more. The market doesn't seem convinced yet, however, and the Brent crude benchmark is up 0 .4 on the day, trading at $83 .67 a barrel. After falling more than 1 % yesterday, gold today is benefiting from a drop in the $DXY index, as US yields digest the good inflation figures. Earlier today, gold was trading up over 0 .5 % at $1 ,956 per ounce. Stay with us. After the break, we're going to talk about new crypto investment.
How I Got Here with Dave Fiore
A highlight from Episode 56: Jeri Desloge
"Yeah, Shoney's was great. They didn't serve alcohol, so you could be 16 and work as a server there, and so I just had the best time serving people. I just, I don't know what it was, but I got to meet everybody, say hi to everybody, and say hi. From Fiore Communications, it's How I Got Here, a show of inspiring stories from Tallahassee area leaders, business owners, and neighbors. All the challenges, opportunities, inspirations, the twists and turns of life that led them to where they are today. Everyone has a story worth telling, and I am really grateful that we get to bring a few of them to you. I truly have been changed by my conversations with these amazing people, and I'm confident you will be too. I'm Dave Fiore, and in this episode, I speak with Jerry Deloge, the owner of Jerry's Midtown Cafe, Jerry's Love on a Plate, and Simply Entertaining by Jerry. And while that may seem like a lot for the popular restaurateur to keep up with, Jerry has spent a lifetime working hard, going the extra mile, and doing whatever it takes to reach her goals. The native of Clewiston, Florida was raised in the shadow of the area's sugarcane mill, where she played sports, was class president, and rocked the saxophone. She actually first fell in love with Tallahassee, attending FSU band camps, and was determined to return one day. Jerry's first food job was at Shoney's as a server, before transferring to the Tallahassee Outback, enrolling at Kaiser, and helping to open multiple Red Elephant locations. Eventually, all roads led to the popular Paisley Cafe in Midtown, where she would assume ownership just months before COVID would temporarily shut her down. After first thinking she would lose everything, Jerry says it was the best thing to happen to the industry, because it forced positive business decisions that are still paying off today. It paid off personally as well, as she met her husband, Brian Deloge, then a Leon County Commissioner, in a meeting with a group of colleagues to complain about the county's COVID policies. Jerry talks about her love for Tallahassee, the importance of her faith, and her dreams for the future. We started our conversation talking about growing up in a relatively unknown part of South Florida. It was great growing up there. I love being from a little small town. Everybody knew everybody, so everybody would definitely come together, you know, in times of need. Of course, if you got in trouble, everybody knew about it. There were times for discipline, too, because your parents were going to find out. So that was good. Did you get in trouble? I did get in a little bit of trouble. Just like every normal kid growing up in a small town, not a whole lot to do. It was great. I love going back and visiting, but it's really why I like Tallahassee, because it's still that small town feel, but it's bigger and has a lot more to offer. What about parents, siblings, what was your family like? I grew up with my mom and dad, and my two younger sisters, and yep, it was the five of us, and went all through school with the same kids and everything, and graduated from middle school and high school at Florida State. I saw that. I want to ask you about that.
The Podcast On Podcasting
A highlight from Ep410: Why Your Podcast Needs Taglines and Subtitles
"If you totally messed up on your regular title, use the tagline and subtitle. And you might be asking yourself, well, is it hard to change the title of my podcast? No, it's not. Once you have been approved, you usually can just go in there, change the title, and it will update in real time. 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 your host, Adam Adams. And on this episode, we are talking about a couple of things. One is a tagline. One's a subtitle. And technically, they are different things. They are going to be used for the same purpose as we talk about it in this episode. And ultimately, what that means is you're going to have a title to your podcast, your whole entire podcast. This one's called The Podcast on Podcasting. And that's going to be your title. And then you're going to have a subtitle right after it or a tagline right after it. Now, it's up to you whether you use a subtitle or tagline. The goal of it is going to be the same either way. It's going to have two pieces. So write it down. Two main pieces that are most important for you to incorporate through the tagline and the subtitle. What's the issue? The issue comes when your podcast title became too creative, too clever, and not concise. So when we say when it's clear and concise, those two C words, it's good. When it's clever and it's… I don't remember the other one. But when it's clever or just a fun, exciting, or something that you just came up with and you think it's going to be great. The problem is if it's not clear, it's not concise, then you don't know if you're a perfect listener. We'll call him or her the avatar. You don't know if your perfect listener is going to find you because you came up with a catchy or creative title like the Ooga Boogas. You came up with a clever or catchy title like I can't even think on the spot anymore. But you get it. Like when you put your heart and soul and you just come up with a title and you're just like, oh, that's cool. It incorporates part of my name. But nobody knows what the hell I'm talking about. You know who you are. You created a clever or catchy title. But there's no SEO. There's no searchability. There's no talking to the avatar. You messed up. You messed up. You weren't clear with your avatar. You weren't concise with your avatar. And the avatar has no idea what you're thinking right now because you went so clever when you created a title. So you already made that mistake. Great. No problem. That means it's time to add a subtitle or a tagline. And where are you going to put the subtitle or tagline? Two places. The first of those two places that I want you to add the subtitle or tagline is just right there on your artwork. So right now, your artwork is two catchy words, three catchy words, four catchy words. But it means literally nothing to the person you're trying to attract. Your perfect listener, the avatar, the person you want to work with. It doesn't have anything to do with them. They couldn't find you. They don't know the name of your podcast. They don't know your first and last name already because they don't go and search for. Hmm. I wonder if there's somebody named Amy Johnson and I could type in Amy Johnson and then I could listen to her stuff and it might be good and it might be bad, but I'm just going to randomly type in some random name. Amy Johnson. It's not going to work for you. Don't be clever. Don't use your business name. Don't use random colors. I was guilty of this. I had a company called Blue Spruce and I'm like, well, Blue Spruce, because it means the Blue Spruce is an actual tree, but it only grows in like Colorado and Utah. And so people are going to know that we come from here. And it's interesting because a Blue Spruce stands out from the other trees. And so you see like regular spruce trees, you see bird trees, you see pine trees, you see deciduous trees, and you got this gorgeous Blue Spruce and that's going to be the name. I named him a company, Blue Spruce, and that was catchy. That was clever. That was something that I knew what it meant, but my perfect avatar, if we go back in history, that was my company, was a real estate investing show. Nobody is looking to place capital and specifically searching for Blue Spruce at all. And so we had this company called Blue Spruce Holdings and people can't just randomly find us. When I came up with the title of this podcast, The Podcast on Podcasting, I wanted it to be clear and concise. I wanted my perfect avatar to be able to search it. I didn't call it Blue Spruce. I didn't call it Adam Adams. I didn't call it any random thing that somebody who didn't already know me could find. I called it something that someone didn't know me can find. I hope I said that right. I hope I didn't just say it backwards, but you get what I'm saying. So if you got clever, if you got creative with your title, if you named yourself some color or just your name, or you put in your business name for your podcast, I'm not going to say you're dumb, but you made a bad mistake. And how do you fix it? You got to do a subtitle or tagline. Again, there's two places that you're going to put this. It's going to be right there on the artwork. I talked to you about how you might have two, three, four words of the title there. Now that you have that, great. And you're going to add a subtitle. So you think about what is your avatar searching for S E O search engine optimization. So you're thinking about your perfect person. Let's call her Emily. So Emily is let's say 23 years old, say she's going through this. She's having a trouble with this. What she wants to overcome is that this is what keeps her up at night. Her ultimate goal is to be able to become this thing in this amount of time. She's a mom or she's not a mom. She's one or the other. That's your perfect avatar. It's Emily. And now you're thinking, well, okay, I messed up. I made a clever, creative title and I need something more concise and clear that she's going to search for S E O search engine optimization. So if she types in, how do I start a podcast? Or if she types in, how do I start a online business? You're going to put that thing in your subtitle. You're going to say how to start an online business for single moms. You'll put in how to launch your very first podcast with three easy steps. Whatever it is, you put in a concise, clear subtitle. It'll go on the artwork and where's the other place that it's going to be. It's going to be actually part of the title. Now this gets confusing because you're like, well, so I'm just going to have a really long title. Yes, because you already messed up. And so now you need to add to it so people can find you. And so you put it in anything that you think Emily's going to search for. And so S E O driven and anything that's going to call out your avatar. When she sees it, she's going to say, man, this is for me. So it's like for struggling single moms. And now that is a thing that's going to call her out. She's going to say, man, that's me. I guess I got to listen to this podcast. So find a way if you have not yet created your actual title, you're in a great position because you can create a title to your podcast that is clear and concise, that she's going to look for you and search for you and find you. And you can make the subtitle, the thing that tracks her to saying, Oh my gosh, like this person knows me. They know what I'm going through. And this just seems like it's speaking to me. That's what you want her to do. That's what you want him to do. So again, on this episode, we are talking about taglines and subtitles. We talked about if you totally messed up on your regular title, use the tagline and subtitle. We talked about it being into two different places that is on the artwork of the podcast and actually part of the title. And you might be asking yourself, well, is it hard to change the title of my podcast? No, it's not. Once you have been approved, you usually can just go in there, change the title, and it will update in real time. It'll update so that within a couple of hours, your whole list sees now your title with a subtitle, and now you're more SEO driven and you're more likely to call out that avatar, Emily, to say, man, this woman, she knows what I'm going through. I need to listen to this episode because it just seems to speak to me. I'll see you on the next episode. This is serious. Don't go. Now that you've gotten whatever value that you feel that you got the actionable takeaways, you need to implement the stuff that you learn. If you remember me talking about Bird Church once and they learn how to fly and then they walk home, I don't want you to walk home. I want you to fly home. So take the steps, take the actionable steps for your benefits that you can become a better podcaster. That's the only thing that I ask of you. And I'll see you for more actionable tips on the very next episode.

A highlight from How Much Money Are Terrorists Actually Raising in Crypto? - Ep. 570
"What the Israeli government was able to do here and in prior actions was work with Binance and Tether to freeze the funds. Now, what does that mean? Tether has and USDC and Circle have it as well. They have something written into their smart contract that allows them to freeze the fund from getting to the end user or to make sure that the end user, a bad actor potentially, does not get access to the Tether. Now, think about how that does not work in traditional finance. Think about the opportunities there for industry and regulators to leverage this technology to actually stop crypto from getting into the hands of bad people through some sort of automated compliance tool or smart contract.

Wait, do you not know where you are? Not really. Kind of been locked in one room. Food's not bad, though. This is the Elixir Academy, where Brinley went to school. Ding, ding, ding. Headmaster's abode, to be exact. Headmaster. And you're here because...? Because I was trying to rescue sci -fi, and instead I got captured by the Headmaster, who has now seemingly brought us all together for this lovely reunion. You want to know how we got here? Kinda sorta. Childcatchers. Childcatchers? Childcatchers. Abducted us from the courthouse before my hearing. Why were you in court? Long story. Oh, your old pal Magnus wanted me to say hi. Magnus, can we please... Yeah, listen. There's a lot of weird happenings happening on this freaky deaky island. Is Brinley safe? Safe is a strong word, but yeah. I think she's okay. At least she was before I went through the portal. I'm sorry, did you say portal? Casey? Hello? Are you in here? She's gotta be back in these caverns somewhere. What are you gonna say to her when you find her? I'm gonna let her have it for everything she put me through since I was little. Yeah, except that wasn't her. Yes, it was. I mean, it wasn't her yet. You understand? No, I don't. I don't understand any of it. I'm sorry. For what? For all of this. It's a lot. Hey, at least I figured it out, right? And I even remember. What do you mean? I mean that for a while, before I discovered that Penn was the cause of it, I was losing my memories. Of home, of my family, of you. Oh, that sounds terrible. I could feel it all slipping away and it was so terrifying. Because even if we're not, you know, Siley anymore, the idea that I'd forget you, us, that was just the worst thing I could imagine. Because you changed me. We changed each other. Yeah, and I would never ever want to lose that. Casey, are you down here? She's not all bad, you know. Who? Casey, Katie, whoever she is. Oh, geez. What? You, that's what. Don't tell me you have a type now. What are you talking about? Mean girl, clever beyond her years. I don't have feelings for Casey if that's what you're asking. You'd better not, because that'd be profoundly weird. You know that, right, Sinus? That girl is my mom. I said I don't have feelings for her. Okay, just checking. I think she's gone, by the way. And we need to find a way back to Elixir Academy. Badger, where are you? I'm here, Bird. I think I came up with an idea on how we can help Bruce. Assuming we can find him. Why are you holding chains? Well, Bruce made me promise that if there was ever a chance he'd go full Adam that I - That you'd chain him up. And then shut him down. Oh, there are other options. So what's this idea of yours? Right, my idea. I was out for a little swim and it suddenly hit me. Casey is the one who made Bruce all out of me, right? We think so. And Casey was working for Delphine. Uh -huh. Well, it stands to reason that Casey was communicating with her from inside of Holiday Corp while she was working there. But you don't have access to Holiday Corp anymore. Well, let's just say someone there is still loyal. Say hello, someone. Hello, someone. Ivan is still working for you. I'm working with Queen Birdie as a friend. See? Pays to be nice to your AI. Cool. So what's the plan? Ivan? I was able to trace the signal of every called Casey Holiday place from inside the building. There was one recurring number I did not recognize. Delphine. All we have to do is call the number, pretend to be Casey, arrange a meeting, and - Wait, pretend to be Casey? How do we do that? We don't. You do. I mean, you and Bruce made your voice lower, right? And Adam was able to make himself sound like Holiday. You want me to use Casey's voice? You think you can swing it? Do I think I can swing it? I can give it a try. Yes! You're about to become the most awesome thing in existence. A 16 -year -old girl. Sibot, anything to report from the beach? As a matter of fact, Cyrus Anders, yes. Did someone come by the island? No, but I'm detecting a change in the atmosphere. Oh great, another electromagnetic earthquake? Quite the contrary, Brinley. It's all gone. What's gone? The energy surrounding Elixir Key. You're talking about the energy that made Badger and Bruce shut down, that turned off their hoverboards? The very same. So means... that Hubby! You out there? You brought Hubby? You and I rebuilt him with the idea that we could go on rides together, right? Romantic rides around Juno? That feels like a long time ago. Well, you want to drive? You can go in front. I really did change you. Sibot, you sure we're not going to plummet into the water with the robot gators once we get up there? Nope. Great. Did you say robot gators? The Headmaster has an army. I'll explain on the way. Well, after you. Thanks. Cozy, huh? Yeah. Um, just one more thing. If that force field or whatever you want to call it is suddenly down, that might mean that the Headmaster wants us to go back to Elixir Key? I'm counting on you! Shh, it's starting. GZM shows. Imagination amplified.

Thanks for joining me for another weekly pod episode. Truth bomb of the day. The gospel is the only hope for a dying world. I have two scriptures for you today. The first one is Luke 21 28. When these things begin to take place stand up and lift your heads because your redemption is drawing near. The second verse I have for you today of Scripture is Matthew 16 18 and I tell you you are Peter and upon this rock. I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. So you're watching the current events unfold in the world today. You're seeing Revelation on the world stage on your newsfeed. Should you freak out with what's happening and how it will impact you and your loved ones? Listen, no way. You should not freak out. We should be looking up because our redemption is drawing near. That's what we need to be doing. Looking up praying for the peace of Jerusalem and sharing the gospel message with the hyper focus. Jesus advocated while he was on Earth. Again Luke 21 28 when these things begin to take place stand up and lift up your heads because your redemption is drawing near and remember there's no more sitting on the sidelines Church in today's world. We must make a choice to be hot or cold. Luke warm is not an option as a true follower of Jesus When you know the truth, you will not walk in fear. You will walk in faith in freedom. It's time to share the gospel message with the lost and hurting people in the world with a white hot faith as I begin today's pod episode. I want to say that there will be some people listening who will be offended by the words that I'll be speaking but the words I'm going to speak are important and you'll see why in a moment if you continue to listen, there is no place for sidelines as a follower of Christ in today's world. Listen, there will be no one left in the stands in this game. Good versus evil. Now is the time to choose to be hot or cold. There is absolutely no room as a true follower of Jesus to be lukewarm as mentioned by Jesus himself in Revelation 3 16. So then because you are lukewarm and neither cold nor hot. I will vomit you out of my mouth. So if you are a true follower of Jesus Christ, you are called to be on the field to carry out the mission of God on this earth whether you like it or not. Remember God has saved redeemed and commissioned you to serve him in such a time as this. So if you or someone you love think they can avoid making a choice to serve him during the time we're living in listen, I'm here to remind you that that's incorrect. Thinking we are God's children and now we exist to serve and glorify him. This is the time to get off the sidelines and get into the game God has saved us and commissioned us to take part in the game of engaging in the mission of the Great Commission remind yourself of that and remind your fellow Christian brothers and sisters as for me and my family as for me and my evangelism on fire podcast and reach our VAE team. I know who we serve and why we serve if you're listening to this podcast, you're most likely the same much of this pod episode is not for you. It is in the hopes that there will be even just one that will stumble across it hear the truth and realize what decision needs to be made as a true Jesus follower that needs to be made today today. I'm making a stand and I think you will join me I could be wrong, but I don't think I am every once in a while. We will see evil manifest itself in a physical form and that's what we're seeing present day in our world. I am asking you evangelism on fire nation all the listeners of this podcast to join me in obeying the mission of the Great Commission that Jesus has mandated to everyone who calls themselves Christ followers. Look man, I'm not asking you just to listen to this podcast for entertainment purposes. I am asking you to make a commitment to sharing the good news of Jesus Christ as you follow Jesus Christ. I'm asking you to commit to the instructions of the last thing Jesus told us to do while he was on this earth to share the good news of his salvation to the world and listen the world starts with your context and hear this the last thing Jesus told us to do should be the main thing we should be doing as Jesus followers. We need to obey the vision of sharing the good news in the first step of obeying the vision is to always remember this the first words of Jesus in the Gospel of Mark are an announcement of the arrival of God's kingdom in Jesus last words to his disciples starting in Mark 16 15 build upon his first announcements. They call Jesus left us with was continue telling others the Gospels good news. This good news is that Jesus has brought the arrival of the kingdom of God to Earth in that through his death and resurrection. He has made a way for all people to have a new life in him the task of evangelism telling others about Jesus was the first thing that Jesus asked his followers to do as he left Earth telling others about what Jesus has done for them is one of the most important things that we can do with our time. We have been given the greatest gift of all eternal life with God, but that gift is also freely available to the rest of the world. So take some time to examine yourself today and ask yourself will you choose to be hot as you follow Jesus or will you be like the rest of the 95 % of those who claim to be Christians that will go their entire life without leading at least one person to Jesus as their Savior. It's time to get off the sidelines and into the game. If you truly want to serve God in the capacity. He's created you to serve him or remain cold or lukewarm. My hope is that you will choose this day whom you will serve knowing while you will serve him and to obey the vision Jesus has given to you directly when we are born again. We all have visions if we are spiritual at all of what Jesus wants us to be in the great thing is to learn not to be disobedient to the vision not to say that it cannot be attained if the Holy Spirit has given you a vision in your private Bible study or during a meeting or maybe listening to this pod episode which made your heart glow in your mind expand in your will stir itself to grasp. You will have to pay the last farthing in concentration along that line until all you see is the vision made actual the healthiest exercise for the mind of a Christian is to learn to apprehend the truth granted to it in vision every Christian with any experience at all has had a vision of some fundamental truth either about the atonement or the Holy Spirit sin or engaging in the mission of the Great Commission and it is at the Pearl of their souls that they lose not that vision by prayer and determination. We have to form the habit of keeping ourselves soaked in the vision God has given the difficulty with the majority of us is that we will not seek to apprehend the vision we get a glimpse of it and then leave it alone truth bomb of the day when we obey the vision Jesus has given to everyone who follow him we participate in the highest calling of sharing the eternal word of the Living God to men and women who are desperately in need of his free gift of eternal salvation choose today who you will serve and why you will serve choose to dedicate yourself to the hyper focus on evangelism that Jesus advocated in Luke 1910 boom God bless you and have the best week of your life. Make sure to join me for next week's episode. Thanks so much for your time with me today. It's been an amazing time and thank you so much for listening.

"And I'm like, were you traveling the day that you scheduled that and as a matter of fact I was? How would you know that? Well, it's happened before. I do like 6, 7 or 8 episode recordings, every single Wednesday. And so that's happened to me one or two out of a hundred. It doesn't happen very often, but it should notate it. Ahead of time. And so calling, is there any particular question that you ask on calendar that supports you getting everything that you want or is there a certain times of your day? Do you like block it out once a month? Do you block it out once a week or is it just any time at all? How do you use calendar? Is there any special tips or tricks that we could take from it? So I really and I know people always say do bad recordings. I've heard that many times. I haven't jumped on that bandwagon yet, just because, as I said, I want to give my guests for attention. It also drains me a lot afterwards. So I can't imagine doing 6 or 7 recordings in one day just because of the types of conversations that I'm having with them. And so what I do is they have that really handy function where you can have a set schedule. You plan it out every week. I am open. These three days during these three time slots. And so what I actually do is I would set in the feature to buffer two hours of time before and after so that basically any time someone books out a slot that day is done. Because I don't actually want to do multiple interviews in a day. And so I also find that very handy because in the beginning, I didn't do that. And it's like, all of a sudden, it's like, I have three interviews that day, and I really didn't want to do the interviews..

"Your podcast on your stuff, it's going to get a ton of traction the first month. And then once they've seen they, meaning your followers, your Friends, your family, your connections. Once they've seen it a half a dozen times, 13 times, they kind of put up their horse blinders and they become like immune to it. They don't notice it anymore. It becomes part of the noise. But what does seem to get lots and lots of value and traction is creating those image cards. Those quote cards in those audiograms and giving them to your guest to share because their friends and family might not have ever seen it. And so they're not desensitized to it anymore. So having them share it can help a lot. So I'm going to give just three quick tips for it. Use a quote card. So where you or your team, my team does this for other people. You pick a quote where that guest really shines. And you just create a square image with the branding of your podcast. Their photo has to be bigger than your photo. If you're a photos even on there, they're the ones that need to shine on the quote card. And then you just put it in quotes, make it look really pretty. And in subtitles, small, small, small, it'll say where they can listen to the rest of the episode. It seems like a lot of our clients guests will share those quote cards, often. Another one is an audiogram. We have a lot of science that shows that 17 seconds or less is what you want these audiograms to be. Interesting. You mentioned canva. So we're going to put that into the show notes. That's a great place to do the quote cards. For these audiograms, 17 seconds or less, headliners, a really good place for that. It's free. It's on headliner. And most people can do it pretty fast. Even if you don't have experience doing it, Serena, yours should be able to just put that 1715 seconds where your guest is speaking. And it'll make it look really pretty on headliner..

"Is that something how long does it take you to kind of do the editing? Because I know a lot of people that say it'll take me about maybe two to three days to do a 15 minute episode. And I've got others that say, it takes me like 5 minutes to do a one hour episode. So I know it goes anywhere in between. What does that kind of take in you do you enjoy the process? Do you want to offload it? That kind of stuff. Yeah. It's actually, when you were asking about the biggest challenge, that is the biggest challenge right now. Even though I've started, that is the biggest thing that I'm struggling with right now because the stories that I record are so personal to my guests and to me, so I really treat it with care, and I know that a lot of people say, you know, you should eventually hire an editor who can help just really make that process a lot. Less painful and really make this project more sustainable for the long term and I absolutely see that. But I'm having a hard time really thinking about how do I offload this to someone who doesn't really look at the story the same way I do, because I take it a lot of time in my editing to make sure that I am putting my guests in the good light. I'm very careful about certain things that I edit out and leave in. There's a lot of thought that goes into it. I think for it just because the topic itself, I think for certain topics, it doesn't really matter. You probably just need to make sure that it sounds clear and there's no swear words or whatever and things like that. But for me, I'm actually, I do put in a lot of thought into how is this flowing? What is the message coming through?.

"Cancer? Do you want to monetize and have different cancer prevention places? I know you said that doesn't exist. But support the show and help out with the show. Are you looking to make sure you're getting closure for family members that have gone through this? What's really ultimately your big why behind the why? Yes, so as I mentioned, I think for now, it's definitely something that I enjoy doing. I feel like there's more purpose in my life. I'm really giving back in a way that is also enjoyable for me, it's creative. It's using a different side of my brain. It's connecting, as I said to my social work routes at the core, and so I think just that part alone has been really awesome. And I think in a part of just all of the conversations that I've had with my guests, I mean, it's been such a healing process for me just to listen to their stories and talk about them. I mean, there's so many connecting points that I have each time I talk to someone and I've also heard from my guests that they find it to be a very cathartic process for them to talk through some of those instead of process out loud with me. And ultimately, the reason why I decide to have this 360 approach instead of just focusing on caregivers perspective or only cancer survivors perspective is because one thing that I found in my own experience with my family members is when you're going through the cancer journey with someone that you love, there are things that are hard for you to say to them. Because you're trying to protect them. And so there's always a bit of dialog. I mean, not always. I think some families are very open and transparent with each other, but for many of us, there's always some things that you're not really saying to the other person because you're afraid it's going to upset them because you're afraid it's going to hurt them somehow. And so I am really actually hoping to bring that other perspective and those questions that people really want to ask, but afraid to ask, so that maybe they can hear it from somebody else's story in understand the perspective of the other person, even though they're afraid to ask those questions themselves and hopefully bridge that experience and maybe encourage them to have that dialog because they sort of have an idea of what it's like from the other person's perspective. In the long term, yeah, I think I love to really build up a community for this and actually make it into my main gig somehow. I've heard, just take, for example, their podcast out there around that are about birth stories and I've seen them get really creative about developing courses and communities in the long term. I think the one woman from Australia, her podcast eventually became something that medical professionals could listen to to get continuing education credits, like how awesome is that? So yeah, so I think I have to kind of figure out what that could be in the long term once I actually build a good community around this. Wow, good stuff. Got so many possible things that I could take this. I want to hear from you out of all of the challenges and there's a lot with starting a podcast..

"Podcast about investing in gold or I could do it about cancer and you decided cancer. So what kind of the reason behind you starting this particular podcast? Great question. My life and my family members have been touched by cancer a lot in the last decade. I've lost my grandma, my dad, and now my uncle, who's also dealing with brain cancer. So it's just something that, although I am personally thankfully not a cancer patient survivor, but it's been around my life to people who are very close to me for the last ten years..

"So usually what I asked them to do is think about one or two messages that you really want other people who are going through similar experience to know something that really surprises you, something that you were afraid of, something that you want to celebrate. I mean, those are kind of at the core of what are human experiences are about. And so when I actually go into the recording, I have some understanding of who they are what their experiences have been already. And then it's just really being curious and really listen to what they say because they come already with a message . So what I tell my guess is that you're in the driver's seat. I am here to listen to your message and I will obviously poke and have follow up questions or maybe even clarifying questions. But I really find that by just being fully focused and paying attention to what they're saying and fumbling and trying to figure out what's the right next question. It actually comes a lot more naturally in the conversation flows better that way. I did prepare questions in the beginning, like when I first started recording, I just never used them. So I ended up not actually not preparing actual questions going forward and it's worked out okay so far. Very interesting. So one of the things that you mentioned was that you asked them one or two messages that they want to share on either what I went through, what I struggled with, what I've overcome what I want to celebrate. And it sounded like you said that you might or I was assuming in my head that you're about to say that when you have somebody as a guest, you'll actually record two different episodes with them sometimes, is that accurate or was I just kind of projecting? No, I would just record one episode..

"And they're able to bring a very different flavor in a different perspective because they could sort of sit around and kind of joke about things that are happening that are ridiculous that they have to go through in their lives. And I as a former caregiver, am not able to take that kind of angle. And so what I try to do is I try to think about, do we have caregivers represented? Do we have family members represented? Obviously, survivors and patients themselves. But I try to sort of bring in a more rounded sort of perspective from all angles and also looking at different groups. I think there tends to be easier to find women guests, just because I think they're more comfortable with talking about their feelings oftentimes, and so it's sort of doing that targeted outreach in addition to people that are kind of naturally coming to me and say, hey, I love to share my message. I'm also being targeted and saying, hey, here is a male breast cancer survivor. That's a voice that we don't always hear. I didn't even know that was a thing. Yeah. So that's an upcoming show. Go get a mammogram. Yeah, so I think I'm trying to be thoughtful about how do I bring in those voices that aren't always heard and doing targeted outrage to say, hey, this is my podcast and the other kind of unique thing about my podcast is it's not really about is less about resource of medical information sharing. It's really to explore the human experience that kind of is comment to all, regardless of what kind of cancer you have. And so that's what I do is I reach out to them and I very up front so to explain, I love to have your show representing diverse voices is important to me, but I really focus on the experience rather than the medical details. And I say, if you're interested, let me know and I love to send you more information. And so far, I've had good responses that way, in addition to, I think people who naturally just reach out to me. Yeah. Well, I think that's a smart way to do it. Just let it be the ball in their core, especially because it's a sensitive subject and you never know. And so you just kind of hate this is what I have and if you're interested, then I can tell you more. It's super short. You're not giving a whole bunch of links, and it doesn't sound sales you spammy like you are trying to avoid as well. And thinking about you, one of the things that you said that I really liked and I want to stay there for a little bit is you think about their experience and talking about those thoughts those feelings that all of us go through and exploring that a little bit deeper. And it made me think that man when Serena is putting together her podcast, I assume that you're spending a lot of detailed time thinking through what questions should I ask what order should I go through some of the questions?.

"However, I did so many different interviews with so many really, really good people that on this episode today, even though this would typically just be me pouring into your business, me just sharing something short like 5 ten, 20 minutes where I poured into you and your podcast and growing your brand and really getting you in front of everybody. I'm going to do that today with an interview. So let's get right into it. And we're back with another episode of podcast on podcasting. It's your host anime atoms and today we are going to get into Serena who's story and her podcast. The podcast itself is called talk about cancer. Talk about cancer. So she's interviewing people. I know that I've met her on Clubhouse and she was like, how do I find people that are willing to be on this podcast? And I know there's other challenges. So we're going to get into our challenges. We're getting into everything that she's doing to crush it. She's actually has currently, as we're recording, has a full time job while she's doing this on the side. And so if that's you, if you've got a full time job and you're like, man, I don't think that I could start a podcast right now, probably get a little inspired here with Serena because she's probably working a lot of hours at her position and still able to make it happen. So with that said, Serena who, from talk about cancer, podcast, that link is in the show notes. Serena, my first question is, how are you doing today? I'm good. And I am very impressed that you remember my question from Clubhouse. Somehow, right? Somehow. Yeah, remember we got on and you were like, how do I reach out to these people? And get them on, and I think that there was also a second part of that where I don't know if it was about your job, but it was almost like you couldn't reach out to some of them for some reason. Can you remind me why that was? Yeah, so that was actually at the very beginning where I was trying to find that initial group of people to get together 5 episodes before I officially launched. And I started with your friends and family network, obviously, to start with in what I was asking that day in Clubhouse was I'm not really hearing back from people. I thought there would be more responses, how else can I really find guests and you were like, it doesn't sound like you're actually asking anyone? And I was like, oh, he's absolutely right. But I did get a few folks from just initial outreach through friends and family. And during that time in Clubhouse, what other people were sort of suggesting or why don't you go on Facebook groups and ask people because there are lots of cancer support groups out there and lots of activities..

Netflix showed him users. A netflix spokesperson told par call. The survey was as part of the company's quote regular efforts gate audience interests on new teachers and they didn't have anything more to share for now. So i think what to me to me. Maybe i'm amazon. Stone amazon has done. Is they have their movies. Tv's music also podcast. So i think that so is it seem that net flicks and other shooting services on and go into that same plays well. Yeah it's it's not the first time there's been talk about Netflix getting into lower production content including podcasts.
