The move ends years of debate over how much the governments can interfere in South Koreans personal life, although there were no laws explicitly banning the import of sex dolls, hundreds, if not thousands of the products were seized by customs, custom officials cited a law that bans the input of goods that harm the country's beautiful traditions and public moral, importers took the case to courts most of which agreed that the dolls are used in people's private spaces and don't undermine human dignity, Korean custom service have since issued a statement saying its guidelines on sex dolls have been revised.

Its highest level since April and up from 101.4 last month, the lowest figure since July. The increase comes despite rising interest rates and growing anxiety about a possible recession.

"To work for us for the next month or two, or do we need to ask them to come back maybe in a season that is really appropriate? Do we have too many similar guests in a row? Are we mixing it up with gender and origin and story and that kind of thing? All these different kinds of factors that go into deciding who's going to be with us. Well, I think sometimes two, we reach out to people and they it's just not a good time. Their PCS ing or their super busy, they have things going on. And other times we reach out to people and say, hey, is there because we kind of started this podcast with the idea of really getting more eyes on EFM businesses and getting greater visibility for EFM businesses. And that's kind of how we started. So we really wanted to give a platform for EFM businesses to be able to promote themselves and get their story out there. That was kind of our original founding. And we've moved beyond that to larger EFM stories. But we also reach out to businesses to say, hey, do you have something coming up that you'd really like to advertise, would there be a time of the year that fits well with your kind of schedule for promotions? Right. So like when we talked with Erica of the Iceland writers retreat, we did it at the time of year where she's down from the retreat. It's already done. And she's looking forward to starting up for the next year. So it was a perfect time for her because you could then sign up for her retreat. Or we've had holiday related new year's related, all those kinds of things that really fit in well with the time of year. So the particular EFM is like, I want to talk about, and I want to do it in this month.

When I edited the last podcast, I admitted to my husband that I took out all the spaces between my words because I sound like William Shatner. And he was like, really? I'm like, yes, every time I talk, I always have a space, and I had to get rid of that. I hope to cut half of my laughing because apparently I have very explosive laughter without realizing it.

"Really stands out against an otherwise average or in my case, rather poor overall gay. Now, Martin isn't here to speak for himself, but I think he might be a little bit anxious or concerned about the increasing frequency of people writing and saying, I think I'd be on the backhand list. Yeah, but this is a very specific separate backhand list. Like a satellite, a related. Well, look, seeing as Matt's not here, let's just say Lindsey yet, I'm sure you would be on Matt's back at least. Great well done. Absolutely. She says, thank you for being my nerdy tennis friends and sparing the rest of my friends and my family from having to endlessly discuss tennis with me. Oh. You're quite welcome, Lindsey. So thank you very much for being our friend. We've also got Cory sorely in Chicago, who says, I've been a listener since episode four. Very specific. I agree. One to three were a low point. Nevertheless, never gone back to listen to that. So she's never heard the Gaston gaudio interview. And I've been a supporter since the first KickStarter. Oh, Cory. Thrilled to see how you've grown. Oh, that's so lovely. Thank you. And I agree, absolutely no reason to go back and listen to episodes one to three. No reason at all. Don't do it. Feel free to forget episode four. That's really lovely. Thank you very much. Thanks, Cory. Absolutely. And we've also got Christine marlowe from saint Helens in the UK. Christine like Christine James, the Wimbledon. Of more than 60 years ago and Christine. Saint Helens is a big rugby league town, isn't it? That's what I associate. It was saint Helens, yeah. Christine says she was a member of the Tim henman fan club for many years, with my fellow members I traveled the world supporting Tim and the Great Britain Davis Cup team, ostrava, ostrava, she went to Monte Carlo, Stuttgart, Basel, Casablanca, Ecuador, and of course Wimbledon, where she's now a debenture holder. Yikes. Wow. This fan Christine. Wow. Gosh, I remember that GB Davis Cup tie in Ecuador. With both le pen brothers or the leprechaun tea, brothers is my dad. Yeah. And Tim and Greg beat them and got revenge after the loss to Ecuador at Wimbledon. I think a year or two earlier. So that was a huge win for them. Thank you, Christine. Finally, we have Dorinda, banana, who is from Melbourne and Australia, but now living in darion, the United States, which she says is a commuter town to New York City and Connecticut.

"The tennis podcast following day four of the Davis Cup finals in malaga. I'm Catherine whisky, David Laurie is here. Hello, David. Hello. Hello. No pressure David, but you have got to be extra excellent tonight because we are once again without the star of the show, Matt Roberts. Good luck us. Getting good luck. We are, we sort of torn here between telling you that the show will not be depleted in any way and will be excellent and we'll make up for the absence of Matt, but also very much knowing that we are much depleted without Matt and he is much missed. He is still feeling under the weather, so we send him our best and I'm sure you do as well and we will do our very best to make up for his absence in full knowledge that we will not fully succeed in that task. But the tennis today, David, has gone a long way to do the work for us. Hasn't it? Because it all played out in pretty dramatic fashion today. We know our first Davis Cup finalists and it is team Australia and if you'll allow me to slap an explicit sticker on this podcast less than two minutes in to quote max per cell, there's nothing fucking like it, mate. That's exactly what he said. And to be honest, that was his first answer on international global television live. Because he was asked the question, how does this feel? And that's exactly what he said. And it did make me laugh because there wasn't time for the interviewer to even apologize in his behalf or anything. And actually, I just think you get to a point of delirium in a stadium like that, where you just think, well, that is an entirely appropriate reaction for what we've just witnessed. And I loved it. The celebration of just so euphoric and the players were swearing left right and center at each other in declaring their undying love for each other and how amazed they were at what they'd all achieved. But what this what this did in terms of the comeback, it just one up yesterday. It felt like the last three ties that we've had of all gone out of their way to one up each other with a deciding set and deciding doubles tie rubber in each one of those tyres. And this felt quite similar albeit not a Dennis Shapovalov hitting spree. This was different in the way the Australian team fought back in the doubles, but in terms of the fact that I felt very solid in my confidence that neither Canada nor Australia would end up winning when those double started. You know, yesterday I felt the same with quits and cravings being such a solid doubles partnership would never lost. And here you've got mech titch and pavich playing against, well, a kind of a new pair because it ended up being Thompson and Purcell. And they shocked me. They showed what Davis Cup can do, what a team, a team environment can do and what adrenaline and inspiration can influence things with and it's so intoxicating that that mixture of the unknown. Yeah, today was a good day for the Davis Cup. I would say, I mean, obviously if you're a Croatian tennis fan slash somebody that is picked Croatia to win the Davis Cup sorry Matt to kick you will need to help. But welcome to the club. We've got a full house now, a failure. Yeah. Yeah, less good, but just the neutral Davis Cup fans that want to see this tournament thrive. And look, you know, there are still caveats to this. I still don't love the way it's positioned in the season. I still have worries about the number of people that are watching this, you know, the better the day at the event, you know, we had a really great day today. We've had several great days. There is a part of me that goes, oh, but I'm not many people are watching this. You know, in order as many people are watching this as I want to be watching this and paying attention to it and seeing how good it is, you know, all those caveats still apply, but it was a great day for the Davis Cup. Today, I think, and you, I assume it was you, David, unless Matt from his slightly fevered state is still keeping a very tight control of our Twitter account, but you tweeted screenshots if the Australian team reactions and you know I saw it in real time and yet somehow this screenshots capture something so visceral about what that victory means to the Aussie team. I mean, there is a picture of Alex de menor that is like Mel Gibson in braveheart. It's true. It really is. It's. Pure emotion and I love to see it because, you know, that is what Davis Cup should be and the bond between him and letting Hewitt has made it all the more all the more everything. I think. But look, let's roll back a bit and take you chronologically. Step by step, how we got to that image of Alex, screaming out like Mel Gibson in braveheart. Let's start at the start of the day, which was a very, very reasonable hour. 4 p.m. local time David, 3 p.m. UK time, excellent time to start today's tennis. Today I had a nap before it even started. That's how it should be. People should have time to take naps, should they should they wish to. That is a perfect day's tennis. We started off, didn't we, David, with Bonita rich against the Nazi cook and Argus? And we speculated yesterday about whether it would be kokina is coming in. The top man on paper or whether it would be Jordan Thompson, who played in the tie in the opening round. And I don't think many eyebrows were raised about the fact that it was cock and Arcus. And I think maybe equally few eyebrows were raised about, the results, 6 four 6 three for born in torch. I don't think I can play badly or underperformed. I think Bonita rich performed and is a better tennis player at the moment than honestly who can argue. What do you think? I think that's right. I think charit is found himself in the last 6 months. I mean, obviously the most important thing is that he's able to rely on fitness and I know we still he still has question marks over day to day how his shoulder is going to feel when he wakes up. But he said in the post match interview that in many ways it's stronger than it's ever been because he's had to work on it so hard to build it up and protect the injured part of it. The part that was repaired paired by surgery. So as a result of all that and such studious work on his own serve, his serve is a reliable weapon when it's working well. You can't really do much with it. And the reason that they chose Cochran is two reasons that it was addressed in the press conference with him afterwards. That he didn't play on day one, Thompson was brought in, partly because Carter's was carrying a bit of an injury, just to twinge, but he said he felt a 100% today. There were no issues. And he was brought back in despite Thompson's win on day one. He was brought in Kaka nakas because of his power because they were hoping that his power could get to charge and to be fair to him he served 9 aces in the first set, and he still lost at 6 four. So the server was doing the job, church sent after the match. I was saying to my coach, I can't get near his serve. I can't read it. What do I do? And to the captain and but then he just started to get a read on it. And honestly, the moment he broke, it was to quote Catherine Whittaker 2013, a foregone conclusion. And that is loading. I'm all you've got today, David. I need to get you on side. Okay. And look, it is quite interesting to think of these two players who came along probably quite similar times in their careers, both of them have had horrible injuries. And yet at the moment, charge looks far more accomplished player of the two in singles. And so there they are one zero up. And based on our discussion last night, I think I would have agreed with you that I would have put chillage a very marginal favorite against Alex domino coming into this match. They played each other a year ago in the same event, two one was the head to head overall and chill it won that one in a very tight third set and it was diminished only ever singles rubber defeat in the Davis Cup to this point.

"It always makes me feel better and gives me inspiration to keep moving forward. However, lately, I've had trouble staying positive. I'm almost 25 years old, and I got my bachelor's two years ago. I wanted to become a teacher, but I didn't feel ready, so I spent the past two years in different jobs relating to children and now I feel I have the experience and confidence I was lacking back when I graduated. However, now I'm trying to go back to school and I'm having trouble passing some tests and I see classmates who are traveling, getting married and most importantly getting jobs doing what I want to do. It makes me wonder if I made the right choice and if I'm really behind on where I should be at life right now. I can't help feeling empty, desperate and hopeless. I really need to know how to help myself and make improvements in my life without feeling jealous of other people's paths. Hope you can help. Thank you, Leah. Great question Leah. You know, nearly every person I know has struggled with this. I mean, for me, that feeling of, I should be further ahead by now, totally dominated my early 20s. I was in constant angst and it was really painful. And in my work, I've heard the same struggle from people in their 30s and their 40s and their 50s and 60s and 70s, et cetera. I believe this is a sickness that we human beings have. And if you don't get a handle on this thing right now, you will continue to feel empty and desperate and hopeless no matter what you do or no matter what you achieve. Now the good news is that there are only two things that you need to do in order to heal yourself from this sickness. And it's important to note that these are not one time actions, my dear. These are conscious choices that you have to make each and every single day. Otherwise, you're gonna slip right back into that same old funk that you're in now and we can't have that. So let's dive in. Number one, I want you to adore your detours. So what does that mean? You gotta ask yourself, have you ever taken a road trip? Probably so. Sometimes you don't get to your destination at the time that you thought you would because you took a little detour. Maybe you decided at the last minute, you know what? We want to take the scenic route. Or you decide to stop for lunch and you discover this adorable little town that you would have never seen if you stayed on the highway. My point is detours aren't always bad and getting there sooner isn't always better. You have got to trust the timing of your life. You have to trust that you made the best choices you could have possibly made at the time because guess what? You made them. And trust that every experience taught you something that you need to know right now. Number two, and this is the most important step. You've got to go cold, turkey, on compare schlager. I've talked about this before. Back in college, I had some nasty nights doing shots of this awful cinnamon flavored liqueur called goldschlager. It's pretty much disgusting. Now, when you compare your path with someone else's, you're basically drinking compare schlager, which is like a hundred times worse for you than goldschlager, and I gotta say, that is not easy to do. Now, you know that you've been doing shots of comparison when you're left with a major comparison hangover, which is what you're experiencing right now. Now, comparison is where all of this I should be further ahead by now BS stuff comes from. And I guarantee you if you stop doing shots of comparison logger to a very large extent, you're gonna stop feeling all this angst and anxiety and hopelessness. They say comparison is the thief of joy. I say it's the hamburglar of happiness. It will not rest until it takes all of your self esteem makes off with it into the night and leaves you doing the ugly cry in the corner. So you might be asking yourself, well, how do you stop comparing? It's pretty simple. You have got to put blinders on because constantly looking to the right or to the left is actually what slowing you down and you need to focus on your own game. So if you really want to do a comparison cleanse, try this. Do a total social media detox and stop following or looking at people who you tend to compare yourself to. Don't pick up magazines or watch TV shows that portray some unrealistic ideal of perfection. Do not go actively searching for things that you know are gonna leave you feeling upset. Now I know that this takes discipline and it takes constant vigilance. But I gotta tell you, commit to this and I promise, you will feel better than you've ever felt before. And you're gonna have more time and energy to make your dreams come to life. Let's land this plane on a repeatable tweetable. Where you are is exactly where you need to be. Trust the timing of your life. Now, if you're a mantra lover, try this. Where I am is exactly where I need to be. I trust the timing of my life. You got a two for today. You're welcome. Well, what do you think about that? I don't know anyone who wouldn't benefit from a little comparison cleanse. And now I would love to hear from you. Have you ever got caught in that painful thought loop that says, I should be further ahead by now? I'm curious, what helped you make peace with your path? Let me know. I'm on social at Marie Forleo and until next time, I want you to stay on your game and keep going for your beautiful dreams because the world really does need that very special gift that only you have. Thank you so much for listening and I'll catch you soon on the Marie Forleo podcast. Lady Marie, I have a small favor to ask. What is it? I'm having trouble achieving some goals. I don't have the time or money and I'm afraid I'll fail. Oh, that is a pickle. I wonder if you try reading this book. A book? Pray do tell. Oh, it's called everything is figureoutable.

"When i was in afghanistan so i learned pashto the language of southern afghanistan and deployed there twice the winner of twenty twelve thirteen and then again in twenty fourteen for most of the year and my job was to work with the afghan forces to try to make sure that they were ready for the mission. Mind you this is after we'd been there for thirteen years on that second deployment and my job was still to make sure that they got all the equipment. All the ammunition all the food and everything else that they needed to get through the fighting season after thirteen years and so at that point like how can my mission to solve this in six months if it hasn't been solved in thirteen years and the answer is that it was never going to happen. The only reason we were there is because people on both sides of the of the atlantic right afghans at the very top of their stratosphere and then people here in america who were making money off of that war a grab and go operation and leaving the rest of us to try to solve out. The you know the problems well. Afghans aren't getting any food or equipment because it's all getting skype off the top and so so yeah. I had a mission. But it wasn't anything that was ever going to be. Success that successfully concluded the taliban takeover in twenty fourteen was inevitable and we saw that inevitability play out over the last month.

It's going to be hard to go back to coach on southwest middle seat like it is. It is fun as to be on a private jet. It is draining. Do you not get scared. That they're gonna fall from the sky noto because both of the private jets were on. Were really big. Like i have been on those on. One time i did. Fly back. one of chris's clients from las vegas show on a very tiny like four-seater one and i was like that i don't want this even the jet sweep planes. I'm like this is a little bit small for me. These are the ones i was on was pretty big. I have to tell your story. This is how great a private jet is that so the seats facing each other. And when you go to sleep. Both of them were klein facing each other. And that's how you make your bed and they come along and they make your bed that makes sense so my seat went down but the other seat that was facing me was broken and it would not go down and so they were like. I'm so sorry. And i was like it's fine. I'll just curl up in a ball right here but it actually ended up being very uncomfortable so i was like sleep for like ten or so. I slept on the floor of the private jet. And i loved it best sleep on my life. Even the jet. I was like went camping on. Can you imagine going on the floor of a regular plain but on the private jet. I was like this carpet cleaner the carpet in my house. That's right. he's the only expensive shoes have been on this so anyway it was a dream and our years been fabulous. It has been pretty good. I mean you're that's really all i had. I was going to go over my goals. But we're out of time. We'll have to do that in another year and review the september year in review last month.

"We're back back high. Most importantly god new york times bestseller in the bio. That was not this year. Yeah she'd changed when it happened that's true grudgingly. So but what did happen is that you changed it into the bio and you were like new york times like i don't really care like whatever and then you move to austin and you're low key getting a feature in the new york times about moving to austin i was like isn't it so much cooler to just be on the new york times bestseller. Then be a feature article in the new york times about moving. This is this is different. Though the fact that the new york times decided to write an article they chose her. Yeah they chose her. She didn't like like i had more people reach out about that article than a lot of things. I had probably five people reach out to me about that so weird. I don't know the new york times is so popular. I need it. That's what i'm saying. I'm like do you understand now. Why no. I still feel exactly the same way i can take it or leave it for the opportunity. I get taken early. Okay so you move to austin. Yes technically in january. Yeah technically when i got back well know technically in like march or april when i got back from vancouver we'd purchased the house in the end of two thousand twenty. And how's your move been. Do you miss us. do you miss. La i haven't had an opportunity to miss la. Because i've been here so much. And i can't wait to not have come here twice a month Once a month feels great. I will say. I have crazy anxiety the night before or morning of i have to fly away from home like i don't know what that is. Maybe it's because we have two dogs. And i have a husband and all these things. I'm leaving behind but i wonder if this is something that's just going to get even worse. Yeah probably it's weird. It's not just anxiety when you come to la 'cause like is it like a l. a. Don't put me in that hord back. It's just like leaving home by myself. I bet a lot of people deal with this Where i wanna cancel. I think about cancelling Like up until the minute. I get on the plane probably. Yeah so weird. Maybe you should bring jack's parents along best friends. Bring your best friends long. I mean maybe it's ptsd. From when i was in my knees and i was constantly Alone traveling. I hate traveling alone sucks. I don't mind it. I love it. Put me on that. Put me on that aluminum tube of silence. Solis i hate it. They use sit next to somebody you don't know and it's a real crapshoot strangers so and hate them and then you have. I put new job. I mean technically the new job airs now. Twenty twenty one. Yeah yeah it's a big deal. Huge deal because i do think that there is a like it's very difficult to star on a show and then get another show like a lot of actors have that one show and then they like do bits like sophomore album. It's so hard to get the next job exactly. Yeah it was hard is really hard. I mean i had jobs in between but nothing that was regular job so it was pretty exciting. Do you remember a few weeks ago when you're talking about the photo shoot and you're like i don't even have an enemy to approve or hate the photos. I was wondering your opinion on like it turned out cute. I don't really care. Here's the thing i don't. I have a question. Yes you mean the one with the purple background that ups the is the was the dog actually in the photo or they superimpose the dog after interesting. Was there for half of it. And then as soon as the dog of checked out and wasn't doing what it's supposed to do he walked away and then i was pretending i surely pretending pretty sure i'm pretending on that one it's like. Et really good. It's really good great acting. I think i'm like i have hangups about the photo. But because i i i have a real issue with the angle at which photographers shoot me. I think it's really being unfair that they don't know how to shoot people under five foot six. So that sometimes sucks. I don't really care you. Got seventy five thousand likes on that picture. I know that is insane. People are really excited. Ever thought i had a fake following. Just go to pictures like that and it made me very happy to know that my followers are rooting for me. Yeah that's amazing. Hate watching not hate watching me. And i recently. I was gonna make good week bad week. But i'll do it right now because it just spawned a thought. I recently changed. i don't accept dams. I can't if if i don't follow you you can't send media. I can't see it. i can't even open. it can't even see it. I now know you can change your comments. People can only comment on your photos if they follow. Yeah that's the limited comments thing. So i just recently did that because i had one asshole this morning. Post something stupid. And i was like oh then. I went to her frequent profile. She doesn't even follow me. I was like i'm gonna choke hold that and then it just disappeared. We your dm settings like people literally cannot damn you or you know cattle and even people that follow you people that fall that you follow. I if i follow you. I can see your damn and you can send media us. Pretty genius is so good but people care about me and my my minute show they do. They were all rooting for you. That's so exciting and we were rooting for me this year. Always for major things happen to kelty night in twenty twenty one number. One sexy mature was born. Probably the most iconic thing that's happened in my entire conic iconic. I can connick. We needed to belong to something. That wasn't just your aging. Well see mature. she's aging.

Because i was trying to work out. And keep myself. Motivates lives doing a lot of duleep a lot of like you know and then in this series of twenty twenty one. I find myself listening to a lot of machine gun. Kelly told you. And then i'm all my playlists or like all to life and like reborn ult- and lake hard alt- light ult- pop punk forever like an alternative gout. I'm all of a sudden. I'm like listening to ocean avenue. And i was like what year is it like. I don't know. And then the other day i was listening to one of these playlists and the phrase came on which i know is not technically emails. But it's like so good and love the phrase do you remember when the fray it was like if you're not the fray you don't make music matters you know how when you get in the car and automatically. It's like the first song or playlist or whatever by alphabet. Yeah the fray. Absolute is the saw. Every time i get in my car it starts to play. But i don't mind the freight over gets old cable car. Classic kaverner showman over my head over my head chelsea. Do you even know that song. No she does. It wasn't that. Long ago i mean it was probably like eight years ago. What's what's crazy to me is that there was this follow boy song and i remember it happening at the time that i was dating. Mutual acts and it was a song and what they did is they had like. It was when panic and follow cross all the time so it was like a fog way song and then and then mutual exit like guitar. Solo and then brendan yeary sang a little bit and then it was the end and like that song came on the playlist and i was like i used to masturbate to this guitar. Like just to riffs and i was like. I know that mitchell could barely play the guitar. I know how bad he was like. This was a fluke. But i was like i used to be turned on by a deep imo. Guitar ref real in such a way. I mean i was like honestly a strictly lead singer. Dater other than meals rolex. And then jared because he chancing at all i wish she could onstage though only when he's wasted i can tell how drunk he is. He starts singing into the microphone. But it's turned on very low for often. No way that's really. It's like so low like if he actually will. He'll talk to john in the middle of songs and they have to like Backup but then they turn it down because they're like. I'm sure they did that with me on transit marrying orchestra. They're like this girl she here. Okay and the last thing that really happened for jack this year in two thousand twenty one wrap is. I feel like you're ratio of time spent with your parents. Is that a hot. Like i've never known anyone. Police always on instagram becca on instagram. I'm like oh my god out for dinner. how fun. oh the food looks great.

"I'm here with jack and kelty becca are you. I'm becca just in case. Anybody was wondering i'm here so many things i have. I have a small gluten issue. Do you remember okay. I was actually thinking about this. Do you remember how a few months ago we were on zoom recording or recording in person. Today we're zoom recording. And i was eating a double gulp and pop tart. Yes and i was like a low. And i was like i feel a health journey coming. I wasn't ready for it yet. Yes i went that health journey. I did a month of like super clean eating. I was perfect. I took all my supplements. I i was like. I said i can eat anything. I want as long as there's not gluten and no diet coke. Yup i can eat ice cream. I can eat whatever. Just don't do the conclusion. If you up so i did a perfect month. I went to france. And then as soon as i got back from france i started eating croissants and terrible food again and then i've broken out in hives but that looks like you literally skinned it on the pavement. It's because my skit. So itchy that each alcohol high. That's how i do a mosquito bite. Yeah it is. It's the top layer of your skin completely exactly so i have them everywhere on my face like whatever but actually really good because i had quite an enjoyable journey this time like i felt so good and i really i was doing. A lot of the katie weber cookbooks. Like i didn't feel like i was depriving depriving myself. So i'm back on it but then you taste delicious but it was. You know. I was in france and i had a new tele crepe and i was like this is great but this isn't worth hives all over my body i think it is. I think i also drank so much like i drank. I don't know who i thought i was. But i'm like on the plane and they're like are we having a drink is eight thirty in the morning. We're about to start a twelve hour flight. We're having vodka sodas. I was like. I don't know this woman islet that i drink. Champagne was so hung over that the morning after the big thing we're at i had to get up. Chris was still sleeping. I get up. We went to bed at like six o'clock in the morning. I got up at seven. Thirty in the morning went to the breakfast buffet and started like down and croissants because i needed to stop the champagne in my guy so sick sorry anyway thanks for asking fine. But what i'm excited about was altogether in la. We're sitting at the table that i purchased for this exact reason which is us to sit around and podcast and chelsea has never sat at the table. She prefers the dog bed to sit in the dog bed. I love it. And so i'm so excited tables being used but i'm so excited because it is august it's august and you know what that means here lady gang the end of the european off. It's time for the end of the year in august. We've done this every year for six kids just in case our listeners. Haven't listened to the episode that this happened to the very beginning. It was a few years ago and it was maybe even july at the time and it's time for our two thousand eighteen. Wrap up literally in the heat of the summer. now it's become tradition. it's tradition. I like it because it's a good check in on where we're at in our manifest where we're at in our goal setting you know i had to check in even last night because one of my goals and my boudreau. This year was to grow my hair. My strap and i think i'm very close. I have failed miserably at so many of my goals this year. I blame the fact that i accidentally bought a joe that has paper lions and doesn't have dots select like the whole system. Is this year anyway. Yeah so this is kind of like. How hallmark channel does christmas in july. That is what we're doing. Same shit exactly so some really big things have happened for us each personally this year and some big things have happened in pop culture so i thought it would be great to sort of start with the pop culture of like what has happened or would you like to start with personal. Wait is this. This is such a dumb question. This is for twenty twenty one. Yes okay okay. I literally like have big things happened for me. I can't think of a single one of them. Well we'll start there. Then let's start with the imo child. So jared and you have lived together for a year. Yes oh yeah. It's been officially one. Your tiny tiny apartment on everything. We really can't make it. You still like each other. I haven't killed him yet yes. I don't get annoyed with him at all because he stays out of my way. Yeah he has his little corner for his setup with his like huge gaming computer and all of his music but he's very organized and like keeps it in his little spot. What about the for me. Like it's seeing the the men stuff like the shaving and the shaving is in the sink in like. Just he's so cleanly it's it blows my mind cleaner than i am. He's way more organized than i am. I am disgusting compared to that man. So thank god. Because i can't get myself for my own mess the same with zach. He's the tidiest man on the planet. Why met what does that. I think i actually think there are more of them out there than than we think. There are more when you think about women's bathroom. Oh we're disgusted. We're so gross showers. I mean like half used shampoos or like an inch at the bottom and we can't like go. Why is it that with women and beauty products. The cheapest mother was on the planet. Our shits expensive attack. I've not using the four ninety nine shampoo. This is twenty nine dollars shampoo that i'm getting from korea. Yeah you're a red with husband using my. How do you pronounce it..

Yes we finally ended this school year. And i'm going to sit down with navarre qarooni cassiano and we are going to have a conversation on some lessons. Learned some interview reflections Of this wonderful untraditional school year. So bal can you share your teacher. Johnny with us. I just wanna say what an ultimate honor it is to be here. I have loved your podcast. And i'm just so thrilled to be in conversation with you. So i was a newspaper reporter before i was a teacher. I was a reporter for the star ledger. Newspaper in newark new jersey It was a beat reporter. And i did a fair amount of reporting out of iran as well for an everyday life series but then i am feeling that i was unable to kind of make change. I felt like. I was just reporting what i what i was seeing as a witness and less of a change maker and so i did new york city teaching fellows and a moved into teaching that way i taught at a brooklyn school in the middle grades i was at a. Tc school so I had some great stuff development before moving to illinois where it was also classroom teacher literacy coach then. I became a literacy coach in lot of different schools. So now. I'm all over the city in catholic schools in chicago public schools in the south side and also in the affluent suburbs. So that is kind of an interesting wide variety of Student needs All kids need the same thing which is to be like centered. Seen heard definitely do you. Do you see any of the skills that you had attained from your former career. Carry over our help you into the teaching feel. Oh my gosh. Every day. I thank i couldn't believe at the time that i was being paid to just tell people's stories and to just ask them questions and to just report kind of link there truths and i feel that that is what teaching is feel the social the social emotional piece of it more than i feel that education sometimes because I just really firmly believe that the kids are our curriculum. Yeah yeah you know I think Sarah meds Work around just hurt her saying that the world is our curriculum alum. Yes yes every day. And think of the pandemic. I mean we. We pretty much had our lesson plans. Done if you were not about the The hot news for the day. I really don't know why you were sitting with students. I mean we talk about the importance of skills and strategies but we don't always have to stick to the text that is in a resource. We can make the teaching very much relevant so awesome that you were able to tell or get paid for telling others often. Are students love for us to hear their stories in that. We provide spaces for that to happen. Yeah exactly. I sometimes say things like taking a break completely What we're putting in quality teaching and walking around the world and being yourself will make you a better teacher because you're naturally tabbing things that you want to bring back to the classroom right. Yeah that makes perfect sense so wait you were in the classroom When you when you were working with students or when you work with students now how would you say they describe your classroom with kids all the time. I have lab sites and i have a small groups. I tried to make sure that. I keep that connection so that i could try out all kinds of fun moves and i think that I think that there's a fair degree of autonomy in choice whether that's independent reading. Whether that's in the writing moves that they wanna try to emulate that they've seed in a mentor Chosen whether that's i think that there's just a lot around kind of movement like imagine manipulatives choice and a lot of sound i think like Good talk chatter. A i think it in a positive way like building discourse not kind of this idea that i have going to share all my knowledge. And you'll listen please. Oh god i always check on stage. Students don't like the sage on stage. Teaching becomes one way. You know i am giving you information and you are to listen. Because that's what i want you to do. Well that's not how learning happens. You learn from me. It is a two way type of inter rao interaction. I think like storytelling is probably the only i mean. Even then it's a story that they are responding to thinking about having conversation around but like storytelling. I think would be central. You know to all classrooms and especially main mike spaces. I always try to think about how i can incorporate my life and types of stories. Does it make me a little bit. More vulnerable and realtor kids so that they feel more apt to share. You know yet. So that you you steer students know that you are a human being embraced by longer. I think it had to be fifth grade. It was so funny. I remember being a radio shack. Oh my gosh. I'm dating so. I was in radio shack and i looked up. I thought i saw my teacher. I don't know why. I was so amazed i stock going from i also i. Oh that's mr mazeroski. you're listening. I ended up. You know. I'm going through the the irs. And the mike. I think that's my teacher right. I that was so amazing to me. That might teacher didn't live in the classroom. He actually had a home. He actually eight right out to the store in all of the absolutely one hundred percent agree. You're teacher went to radio shack. That's real yes. If i found out if it wasn't him he probably thought i was crazy. All around. but you know. I so when you're when you you talked about how your students describe your classroom. Do you think there was a difference.

Zoltan Pozsar on What Just Happened with the Treasury Market
"So joe. it's well. There's been a bit of drama in the treasury market once again. Yeah i noticed. you've got to do one of your tracy. Loa signature things. Were you talk about a move. That happened that's supposed to happen. Like once. every three billion years yes I love talking about those because it really gives everyone the opportunity to show that they've read to books by saying that the world isn't normally distributed but of course out we did see some pretty big moves in the treasury market so first of all the ten year yield jumped up to one point six percent. This was in the last week of february but the really big move came in the five year. And i think that one had something like a seven or eight standard deviation. Move one of those things. That's supposed to happen in like ten million years kind of things and really i know people make fun of standard deviations in sigma events. But really we're talking about the world's most liquid market and stuff like this keeps this. Is i think the fourth big bout of treasury market chaos that we've had in just a couple years so i'm thinking back. We had one in What was it. september twenty nineteen. We had repo madness. Then we had the march joss in twenty twentieth delivered. Us t trades boeing up and then we had a mini rates blowout in october twenty twenty. And now we just had the most recent incident so something is going on and clearly. There is a persistent issue in the us treasury market. There's a lot of things going on at once these days because there seems to be ongoing structural issues questions about liquidity which is weird in a the world's most deep and liquid market and be a market in which the fed is actively supplying a lot of liquidity or very active in the market. And then of course it's interacting with the economic situation nine policy situation because we have this fed that said we're not going to raise rates until the economy hits these benchmarks. Everyone's watching to see the fed's credibility we also have a very rapidly improving economy. We have people warning about inflation for the first time so all kinds of things happening once but yes to your point the big action we've seen we've seen rates at the long end year. Thirty year yields have been rising for awhile since the middle of last year. But it's really the action at the shorter end at striking here. Yeah and of course one of the weird things about last week as you mentioned the economy but we had this big tantrum in bond year yields without a corresponding taper. I guess so. We kind of had a temper tantrum because not that much changed last week. We didn't have fed speakers talking about rates rising or anything like that but we have this huge move in the bond market so a lot of focus on micro structure at the moment a lot of focus on liquidity ease of trading and the overall or of the treasury market. And we have a perfect person to talk about all those things. We're going to be speaking with zoltin. Pose are from credit suisse. I care wait. Let's do it yeah So zoltin i should say in addition to being a strategist over credit. Suisse has also been on the thoughts podcast multiple times. So we will be getting you that tote bag Any day now zoltin. Thank you so much for coming on. Gotten thank you very much for having. I should say one more thing. Which is that every time. There's any volatility in the rates market. Someone ibiza. it says you guys gotta get zoltan on get. It happens every time. Anything takes higher on screen of like overnight funding rates. Whatever like when you have exultant back on the episode so this is a lot of requests for this one. Sorry go on okay. Well on that. No i mean why. Don't we start out with the big question. So every time. There's some sort of chaos in the rates market. Joe gets an ib asking for you to come on the show. There have been a lot of those over the past couple of years and as we were discussing that something you wouldn't necessarily expect for the world's must liquid market so what's going on here. And why do we keep getting these sort of Mini blow ups in rates. I think people get taken out of their positions all the time I mean just to just set the set the stage for the conversation. I think there's there's a number of things that are happening That has happened last week for a number of east now and really since the The democratic when and the blue sweep the treasury curve has been steepening quite remarkable. I mean relative to The slope of curves in germany and france and japan. You know the. Us treasury kirk has gotten quiet. Steve per a number of reasons you had you had The blue sweep. You have the vaccine rollouts. Which is you know happening in the us More rapidly perhaps in other parts of the world you have The market starting to price in recovery The market trying to price in the inpatient and the market is getting Excited about the idea. That book surely comes some fed action and that that is going to try to chase down version of keep it in check and to all of these things. I think have driven the steepening of the curb. But you know the the interesting thing. Is that the steepening of the curve. Has been fairly ordered. Okay and so what happened. Last week was a little bit plumbing related but again the the underlying structural driver of rising yields has been more fundamental.

Historic Brexit Deal Sets Trade Relationship for U.K., EU
"Just ahead of a year end deadline the uk and the european union have reached an agreement on a brexit trade deal that will guide their future relationship british prime minister. Boris johnson says the deal ends years of economic uncertainty. Very pleased to tell you the psalter name That we have completed the biggest trade deal yet worth six hundred sixty billion pounds. Yeah a comprehensive canada style. Free trade deal between the uk and the eu a deal that will protect jobs across this country allow goods. You can goods and components to be sold without tariffs and without quotas in the eu market. Deal which will if anything allow our companies and our exporters to do even more business with all european friends. The deal comes after months of negotiations following the uk exit from the european union in january. Joining me now to talk more about it is wall street journal. Uk and brexit. Editor stephen fiddler. Hi steven thanks so much for being here more booger so stephen. This deal follows months of talks. It's a big agreement. Tell us more about the key terms of the deal which covers a really broad range of issues here covers everything from trade to security to terrorism sharing of information on crime databases. It includes traffic Regulations you know who can drive on. Who's roads it includes fishing and who can fish in waters and the british waters and and how much fish they can take out of it. I mean there's a vast agreement of more than a thousand pages. The main thing it does is avoid. The imposition of time on trade between the two sides for the first time since one thousand nine hundred seventy three came down really in the last days to fight about fishing which is just a tiny proportion of both economists about zero point. Three percent of of both economies in terms of gdp a hugely important places like the uk but also in france and the netherlands denmark and spain and in the end it came down to a sort of a haggle over but the species. That could be caught from the waters of the of the uk species by species over the next five and a half years so it got down into kind of incredibly detailed negotiation in the haggling over various things that are actually in the end. Very small points economically the question was how much does the u k agree to follow standards and regulations set out by the eu in order to ensure that the uk could get tariff-free access to the market a full hundred and forty million people and in the end. That was a compromise on that that you didn't the uk to become a major competitor on its doorstep with free access to the eu market. And be able to undercut it and things. I m environmental standards on on things like subsidies for companies on things like labor standards and labor rules so the uk basically you had to accept in general a lot of those standards as the price. It paid to get tariff-free access to the eu. But in general the uk is now sort of a much freer to settle agreements with other countries including wanted hopes. I think with the united states that's free trade agreements because in the u. It's basically locked into and it has been locked into the us trade arrangements for decades so now that a deal has been reached. What will be playing out over the next few weeks. Well it has to be ratified. That's the first thing so that the british parliament will has been recalled. I think for december thirtieth to ratify. The agreement will do that on on one day. European leaders also will have to approve it. That's a fairly foregone conclusion. I think that both sides get approval from both sides. It also technically needs the approval of the european parliament. So that's the eu legislature. That will happen some point in the new year so in january one the agreement will go into place provisionally and then it will be ratified presumably at a later date by the european parliament. This is a basis for the future relationship of the eu and the uk. They're right next door to each other hugely important to each other in lots of ways and it's wrong to think of this as being kind of static thing that's that's now setting concrete foil. You know the rest of time. It's the start of a relationship that will change. According to how each side sees their own best interests so it sounds like this isn't quite it for brexit. Although a lot of reporting has referred to this as sort of a capstone deal here what other loose ends need to be tied up. Well it is a capstone really in in the sense that it's as i said the main of the major framework for their relationship. There are things that need to be tied up. And these are sort of unilateral in a way so the eu has to make rulings on the ability of you've to shed data with the uk. It hasn't done yet. That's a unilateral designation. It will make and we're expecting that to come. There's also some eu declarations to come on allowing financial services firms for the uk to do certain operations inside the eu after january. The first so there's technical things will follow. It's not going to be in terms of financial services anywhere like the relationship. That was there before that allowed london. Essentially to become the capital of a you finance and do some huge percentage of old finance business in the eu. Certainly all wholesale finance business that has gone away. There's already been drift of capital adrift of personnel. From the city of london to other places in the eu and that drift is is likely to continue. That's u k and brexit editor. Stephen fiddler stephen. Thank you so much for joining me. Today you're welcome
Side Hustle School
Art Classes by Zoom Produce Pandemic Profits
"Market Blanchfield took up watercolor painting while she was a stay at home mom. And soon found herself quite adept at the practice. As she hunter skill and began producing quality works, she wanted to share these talents with others. To do that mortgage started teaching mommy and me art classes in the makeshift studio she'd built in her garage. There she offered place for MOMS and their toddlers learn together. Through friends and word of mouth. This became a successful side Gig that Margaret until the birth of her second child. That's when she decided to brush up and looked for a dedicated space outside her home. After finding the ideal location, she called the Space Sacramento Art classes. And created a website to match at Sacramento Art Classes Dot Com, she puts the choice of domain name down is her best business decision. By using such an obvious name much of the marketing work was already done. The website naturally ranked high in Google searches and parents and kids from all over the city came to learn how to paint. The space was never a huge money maker, but it did bring in some side income which was helpful with two small kids. There was even more important because by now Margaret, separated from her husband was a single mom. Without the support of a dual income, she looks for additional ways to make more money. In an attempt to expand, she opened up the studio to other artists in the local area they would lease the space for their own lessons and pay Margaret a percentage of what they aren't. That way she can make money from the space even when she wasn't personally using it. By Twenty Eighteen, she had twenty five art teachers on board. That sounds like a lot and it did bring in twenty thousand dollars in revenue per year but almost all of it went back into rent and expenses. So Margaret. decided to look for a stable way to make a living and transition to a job as an elementary school teacher. Also. Decided to close her studio even though it pains her to do so. It simply wouldn't be a profitable endeavor when she started on her new career path. While saddening things weren't all doom and gloom. Margaret Love Teaching. It was a way for her to keep sharing her art knowledge without the high overheads instead of having a dedicated space. Yet. The change wasn't complete as you might guess because something unexpected happened in the spring of twenty twenty. Was that well, I'm pretty sure what it was since it continues to affect our world pretty much every day in all kinds of ways. Shakeup meant Margaret started teaching remotely which gave her new skills and technology. She mastered Zoom and became an expert in remote teaching. Knew this wasn't something to gloss over and after thinking about it began to paint a new picture in her life? Margaret felt she could use her artistic teaching and technology skills to try something different. Specifically she thought about offering art classes, online the zoom, and facebook live. The lessons could be the same as the one she used to offer an early business. The only difference would be the method of delivery. To test the waters, she wrote to an old email list of six hundred people she collected from her time running the studio. In, addition, she posted a facebook event and let her seven hundred facebook friends know about it. To her astonishment, she amassed four hundred rsvp. then. In May twenty twenty, she ran her first free art lesson broadcast over facebook live close to two hundred and fifty people attended. while. Preparing for the lesson, she came up with the idea of virtual tip jar. argh replaced her Vinho paypal and cash APP county tells on a small sign visible in the video. Even before she finished the lesson, she heard her phone buzzing. Tips were coming in hard and fast. The success of that first experience only encouraged her to do more. She tapped the same audience locked in a weekly lesson with limited spaces. For that attendees painted band through pay Pal v her existing website. In addition, she still conducts free facebook live classes with a tip jar and on average around ten percent of attendees leave a tip. She's now three months into this experiment turned legitimate side hustle and things only improved. Are Free classes now reach an average of three hundred attendees and combined. She's earning well over fifteen hundred dollars per month. Matt. Of course, is recited income in addition to teacher salary. She sees this as only the beginning and wants to keep growing. So what skillset do you have that you could rework and reposition? Strange. Seemingly never ending year of twenty. Twenty. I really do believe there's something there for you just like Margaret and so many others. So one cool thing I think about the story I mean there's several things. But one thing that I noticed right paid attention to is using facebook live as. primarily. A noncommercial source of broadcasting but including this tip jar. where I think it was like ten percent of people are actually making a donation and it's not just the income from the tip jars. She also has these private classes where they're limited spaces, but you can imagine. If you go to class of three hundred people. You don't really get any individual attention, but if there's a class of ten or fifteen, whatever the number is, then that's also attractive for those who want to pay. So I love the blend of like doing the facebook live, which is open to anyone and because she's primarily marketing to her network of friends as well as people who been to the classes before it's not quite like trying to break through the facebook algorithm to promote commercially, which can be difficult and facebook wants you to pay of course, and then also great domain name, right Sacramento Art classes, dot com at least as long as you want to focus locally. If you want us to be art classes for everyone because of what technology allows us to do these days with zoom other platforms then that might be a little bit problematic. But for now, Sacramento Art classes dot com sounds great. So if you happen to be in the area or just want to go check out, Margaret's facebook lives you can find the schedule there sure and

Bixby Developers Chat
Voice Development and the Creative Process with Ilarna Nche
"Today I have the honour talking to Alana Chad who's a voice developer. Whose boiled many many different experiences for Alexa. Google and bixby. And what really impressed me about Lorna is her creativity and all the things that she's done with voice. Some really really excited to talk to her alarm. Why don't you introduce yourself? Hi everyone my name is Alana. I am twenty four years old. I am working on voice. Assistance will be free is now and I recently graduated from the University of Kent For Year pursued. Waste Industry Kind of Siebel where it was all about added Paid off and I've recently been announced Alexa champion and will serve Recently announced as bixby develop theories. Well said a very pleased with how guarding. I'm glad I took the the junk ready grades. And congratulations on being the bixby developer. The air at project voice and Being Alexa champion. That's quite an accomplishment of I have to ask you. What did you get your degree in technology degree or completely different? Yes so I was down that route of going into university in thinking what do I actually want to do and I never I? I was at the point where we have to decide what route you wanted to go down. I'd never really done any of computer science or anything up until hours around sixteen years old because they didn't ready introduce that into into schools much so it wasn't until I was sixteen. Monday introduced Him It's like a high school the high school side at. That's what I saw and I was like. Wow I wanna try it and I kind of not with the whole computer science as and I knew then I wanted to do something in that field but did I want to do it as a job. So that's why I chose. Degree weather is very broad so it. It kind of varies from Web Design to games designed to photography reading modeling like any module any cool secret drink. It was very very broad. Silos able to be like take if I liked it will hide the just will not go down that route because I actually did want to do reading log lane. I thought was really cool. What I saw the course at Casino Harry possible violence the Pixar than when I came to ours like actually this is quite hard and also quite you have to patients because you'll be making a ten second clip in the whole time. I literally I. I have the patience with that. So I did like the whole mobile application development and everything else that came with the coolest so I tied down the the programming side. That's how I kind of figured out went to be in fields. Great you know I encourage people to go explore different things and try things out right because who knows I think should reinvent yourself every end years and figure out what really excites you and go pursue it and even if that means a big change so good for you to try a bunch of things and and you landed on something you enjoy for right now and Yeah go pursue it so learn by my count you created twelve different Vicky capsules and they arrange everything. There's some educational capsules was capsules. Fitness. There's an. As Amara capsule yes in Quiz Games. Can you describe a couple of those big speak capsule in experiences? Yes with with big beat being so new and that the market is well. I I wanted to basically kind of see which type of capsule John kind of like making the Live at the mall one. It was simply something. I bake these experiences to me some cause before I related to other people by decided. Let's take an approach. Like make them for myself. I would you so I'm a big fan of they. Samah I love going to sleep to the mall and I noticed that there are no asleep. Sound experiences out that the A very big market. When look on Youtube for example a lot of people do love a law on it so different to ambient noises because of the whole experience is supposed to deliver this brain light tingle to grain and relax your brain so I wanted to make one and the best thing about putting it on bixby. Robin like Youtube is that we've topped the screen on and you're trying to get to bed the light shining in the room at least if you put it on a voice platform than kind of eliminate the whole having to have screen on and you can just listen away and go to sleep at sun baths with the small one with education. I've kind of always with me being in education for so long you kind of It's kind of a nice way to just keep shop and keep lining whether is learning a language learning maximum stuff stuff that you kind of need to keep learning with at and also fitness. I never really did many experiences and I wanted to see especially when it comes to the end of Christmas. Everyone's not fitness mentality. And you always WANNA keep so i. I've never tried one of my capsules. I made my yoga. I never done yoga before. But I forbid good. experienced Yoga positions as well as make something. I could use to win. You know I love it when people say they built something for themselves she we're talking about. Am tomorrow the Yoga Capsule Education Capsules Unit? You sound found personal benefit to these any wanted to share it and always find that when you build from the heart something you just do your much more motivated and it really really shows in the quality of what you build so great great job you touch them. This a little bit alarmed. But how did you first get involved with building for voice? What what motivated you to to build for this new medium. The main difference the main encouragement life for me to get into voice was honestly. I did that Michael sweaters on full of different modules. And I I knew that where I struggled was with visual graphic design and I love my lapse. I really did want from that. Was My design Like designing the the APP so visuals so when we Amazon dot came out. I notice that you could speak to it. And it will these skills and I didn't realize it was a third party developer. Who'd made these this experience so i. I love learning skills. I'm always up for landing anything so when I when I saw you could make one yourself. I jumped at the opportunity and I started building. It was really simple experience. It was gang could odds on why you would not match the same number of Alexia so that was by really enjoyed Also collected have to think about the design side of things so fast already love love voice. Yeah that's great so it sounds like followed your strengths so I was gonna ask you. What your first voice experience was. But you said it was the odds-on is that still out on the skill store. I had I had no idea still lacking yeah. I think we all have our first things that we built. They think the first thing ever built is a jokes scale. I don't know if you're not have to go check. But when and how did I get started developing bixby itself? Yeah so I was invited to be developer partner program and yet I was told you want to start developing on BEC- speak I had heard expe- before the the the sound on Samson Introduced to the essay the Galaxy S. nine and I was like of course anew scaled the I'd just I just love learning anytime some of that. Something I'm like. Yes for and then the Simpson team. What me on. Everything the ide- e the Bixby Studio hand it kind of was very very intimidating fast. Because I was like a new platform is different syntax using bid. I'd never hundred full but I think it made it easier once I once I kind of just in that whole Amazon Mine Alexa. Mind watching the fall but once I remember that was we did not. You did a tutorial that Webinar with the horoscopes. A yeah actually. I think it might have been atom uncharted the Horoscope to Joyal few. It was about horoscopes. But yeah coding without him. Yeah yeah it was yeah Lebanon end it was like Every helped so I always say like a lot to learn. Visually visual linings. Always our big eight for me. I I kind of documentation is good with support. The I thought visual AIDS so when there's a lot of videos stuff out there examples not the example is really helpful. It really helped kind of move my Experience with big speak

But wait, there's more pricing. It's IPO at seventy two cents a share late Thursday of last week as first reported by the Wall Street Journal, the IPO raised two point three billion dollars marking the first big tech IPO of twenty nineteen in a year that may break records for dollars raised but before we get to excited.

Lyft Going Public: The Dual-Class Share Dilemma
"Lift the company is busy filing all kinds of papers. And as part of that they announced that they are planning to issue to kinds of common stock class. An Cosby Matt LeVine is a columnist at Bloomberg opinion off of my worst cost really. Yeah. Well, it's like the normal one. And then class b is the weird one the stall key by on your e-trade account class-a stock? It's your plain vanilla stock class b stock. Well, no difference really on the face of it usually worth the same price part of the same company, but one key difference class as talk has one vote per share and Cosby's talk has twenty per share in the case of lift one share of class as stock get you one vote and one share of class b stock gets you twenty votes twenty votes, and that is today's indicator twenty that is the number of votes as single share of lift class b stock will get you would get a B class stock founders in the case of lift cO, finders Logan green and John Zimmer and nobody else. So what is up with these class b shares? Why would the founder of a company do this? Used to be that way us hope sock was like you had to give up voting control your company, but that's not what he wants. He wants to keep control of his company, and it turns out because is willing to give him money, you know, for stock without demanding control of his company. And so he takes it takes so back in the day. You took your company public you sold shares to the public, and there was this tradeoff on the one hand, you all this money on the other hand, you give up some control of your company. So if the shareholders did not like what you were doing they could vote you out you could be out on your ear. Also, if you wanted to do something fancy with the stock they could stop you so CEO's, especially Texas started using these class b shares to create stalk with the super voting par giving themselves a ton of votes. So that they can maintain control of the company they get all the money, and they keep all the power a win win. And then the situation the power never trickles down to the people. If the finders sell their class, b shares the buyer of those shares. Does not get that twenty vote deal. The shares usually convert to class eight years a crummy single vote. So why would investors put up with this? I asked Matt living this question. And he said there were a couple of main reasons the first is that these companies were just so hot people wanted a piece of them so badly and investor said, okay, and they surrendered their usual rights. But there was another reason a lot of investors started to see it as a plus when Facebook went public CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, a tiny group of insiders got a ton of these class b superhero shares which essentially meant the Mark Zuckerberg had complete control of Facebook. And when the company went public the Wimpy class A-Shares traded really really, well, it was super popular. But Mark zuckerberg's outsized power. Also, ended up paying off for investors because good example of the successes. Mark Zuckerberg did a lot of move that were kind of look like weird corporate. Governance like, you just went and bought, you know, whatever it's like little oversight sort of felt like a sort of a company that was not like run by best principles of corporate, governance, necessarily, and it turned out to be wildly successful for shareholders. And they put loads of money, right? Because he actually was good at it says a lot of investors, especially investors in tech companies with these celebrity genius, inventor of CEO types, actually started to really like the fact that shares of stock came with no voting muscle became kind of like a selling point like don't worry. No, slutty small-minded investors going to step in and Swart, you know, the geniuses vision. Which is this is actually as you. It's protecting your investment in no way. Because like what you're really signing up for is Mark Zuckerberg and the only way to make sure that you're getting works to all the votes. Dougal Lincoln groupon. They old it. But when Snapchat went public Matt says that was kind of the peak for class b shares not. As a even weirder version, where public shareholders have no votes at all. And only the have any votes. Hey, why not let the suckers by the shares and not get any voting rights Snapchat? This moment, though, is when the markets kind of struck back at the whole class, b shares idea the keepers of some of these big indexes like the S and P five hundred decided enough was enough said, we're not going to list companies that have so called dual class shares and the excluded Snapchat. Now, this was a big deal because of index funds. Now, those are funds that are pegged to an entire index. For instance, the S and P five hundred so with the S and P five hundred goes up the index fund goes up, and if you have money in a 4._0._1._K a lot of that is probably in index funds. We are talking trillions of dollars and these index funds will not invest in your company if it's not listed on the index. So getting excluded from an index like the S and P five hundred means that you are. Leaving a lot of money on the table. But the index is like, okay, listen, we turn to blind eye to Facebook and Google, but Snapchat, you've gone too, far you want the money, you cannot keep all the power to. This is a breakdown of the whole system you wanna take people's money. You have to answer to them. And we're Matt LeVine heard this. He thought will is it jewel class. Shares are over the time has come to an end year ago. I would have said well, the fact that the indexes are down as early about fine for the continuing viability this, but no turns out. Along comes lift at the sides, no index funds for us. But so be it. This probably means that lift won't ever make it onto the S and P five hundred index, but they did this. Anyway, they said we want control so much the will willing to give up this a lot of money a lot of money the jewel share model class. A and class b shares not dead yet, extremely popular and becoming more popular among tech extremely unpopular and becoming more popular among big public investor's attention. That's why the indexes are dying because the public because behind more popular public investors like every comes to market once I do class stock, and it's terrible. And we hate it. And we got to do something about it was like one or two when it was like Facebook. It's like fine whatever, but every company has its come frustrating for investors. If your stock is hot enough, and if you are enough of a cult of genius techie type, you might just be able to have your. Go public and control it too. And in fact, there has been such crazy demand for shares of lift even though they're not available yet making money, and the companies actually losing money inspect it doesn't make anything that there's speculation that when the company goes public. It will actually exceed the twenty three billion dollar valuation that put on himself twenty three billion dollars. This is cold having your cake and eating it too.
