"Yeah, fair enough. Okay, so you've got all these different use cases that you've refined based on your customer base. What are the most used? So is it like blog writing? Is it product description? What's used most? Yeah, I think it's all the above. It's product descriptions. It's blogs. It's web content. It's sales marketing material. Think of BDR or sales reps being able to create customer facing content. Lots of customer facing content. I would say that is the most in those categories. Is it emails? So I try to think about what do we do the most of. So we do one web page and that stays there for a long time. It used to be for changes. We do a one product description. We do one Amazon product listing and it stays there for a while. Blogs maybe you're doing them every day or every week or whatever it is. So that seems and then email we do several times a day. So is there social media posts we do every time? I was just wondering like social media. Yeah, I think it's social media posts and blogs are probably the highest content perspective. But the nice thing again about Jasper is all of those things that you just described should be written with Jasper. And so we want you as our customer to think about Jasper first whenever you have to write that content. And so, you know, just whether you're writing a blog, whether you're writing an email, whether you're writing a business case or a template for your customers, like we want you to think of using Jasper for that. But I would say on a daily basis, it's blogs, it's social, like we write our social media content using Jasper. We write blogs using Jasper. And again, we don't want to just write using like we want Jasper to get you 70%, 80%, 60%, depending on how creative you want to be. But we just want to make you a better writer. And so that's where people get pretty excited and we have a passionate group of customers. We have four customers right now. I think it's at least, I mean, I know of for that have Jasper tattoos. Right. One person. Didn't they have Jarvis tattoos at one point? And one guy has a Jarvis tattoo. We changed her name to the branding. And he's like, you know what? I love Jasper so much. I don't even care that you guys change your name. That just shows how OG I am. I was here from day one. But that's the customer base we have. They're super passionate, loyal, people that use us for everything that they can. But back to your point, yeah, I would say it's blogs. It's social. It's content that you're updating or creating every day. So what do you make of the rise of these little experiments that I see time and time again now? Of tools that will evaluate whether a written piece is generated by AI or a human. Yeah, I was reading about one yesterday. And back to your sort of question Jasper's question, question number three around what are we doing to make sure that content is better? We're even working with some of those partners, right? So turn it in. I'm not sure if you're familiar with turn it in. But they're a plagiarism detection company for like every high school or a college kid turns their paper into turn it in and then they basically get the certification and that's when the teachers read it. So working with them to try to understand how to see if a paper was written through AI instead of written by a student, like there are all kinds of different people working on this problem and we love them we're working with it. I have not seen a great solution yet. I wish there was. We would just partner with them and be done with it. But it is something that everyone's working on and the one I read about yesterday sounded really encouraging and exciting. That's from like a plagiarism. We have a plagiarism detection component in Jasper, any content that you write, you can run it through the plagiarism detection just to make sure that you're not publishing something on your website or whatever that is plagiarizing someone else. That's where we sort of think about it as like from a business perspective, that content as opposed to like a student or something. The other thing that we do is we've got a great partnership with surfer. So we've embedded SEO optimization into the content that we're creating. So that, again, the simple act of content creation..

"And then they come to us, you know, ready to do some work. Right. Well, so have you had an increase in user sign ups since chat GPT came out? I mean, yesterday was the best day that I can remember in a year. People putting in a credit card. Going online, picking the right plan that makes sense for them. And then just signing up for Jasper. So yeah, I think the last three and a half months I'd say, you know, really we announced the fundraise in October, we strategically were pretty under the radar for the first, even though we had a crazy growth. If you were a customer, you could find Jasper, like we were very good at helping our customers or potential customers find Jasper. But we didn't really talk too much about the company. We weren't interested in getting VCs to notice us or other people to notice us. We're really just focused on what do our customers want that's built for our customers and let's go through word of mouth a lot like expand that customer base. October 18th, we announced our fundraising. We announced to the world that Joseph exists and so I think from very steadily from October 18th, we've just seen really consistent customer growth literally every day. And it's been pretty linear. I think it did accelerate end of November whenever chat GPT came out. I think we definitely saw a big spikes for the first couple of weeks. And then we're starting to see those spikes again. I think as people get back to work after the break. But yeah, I think it's also too early to tell, like they just did their first test launch to a small subset of customers. We're all pretty excited that when this goes mainstream and more and more and more people learn about it, like our customer base is also going to grow a lot as well. So yeah, we're all very excited about chat GPT stuff. Yeah, and I think I've seen this portrayed in the media as, oh, this is a potential killer for anybody who's creating an AI writing assistant. And I think they just don't understand how these things usually work. Usually works is like all of a sudden you just created a total addressable market, Tam, as you've mentioned earlier, that just grew a hundred X because awareness just grew a hundred X and then, and then everybody gets more as a result of it, and maybe the one company that does it, you know, maybe they do better. But it's hard to say, because, you know, particularly a tool provider versus an application provider. Most people need applications. I never really felt people were going to go into playground. And so our users in there on a regular basis. So yeah, I also think that if your whole business model was to put a wrapper on top of OpenAI and just use their model, you're probably in trouble, right? I think that's probably going to get disrupted, that's why from day one, we went and raised a bunch of money and built a really big team and specifically around product and engineering people and AI folks. And building on top of that model, like for us, those are just tools that we can put into our toolkit to deliver a better customer experience. I think companies that think about that problem that way are going to be fine. In fact, it's going to be great, right? Because this rising tide is going to raise all ships. Sure. But if you were just looking for the easy thing where you can just tie a front end into that database, I think it's going to be, I think you're going to have to reinvent your business here pretty quickly..

"We love them. And so yeah, we're able to do a lot on their platform. So when you talk about the inference engine, does Jasper AI essentially have an orchestrator, which is coming in, deciding what the intent is and then basically scoring where the where you could route the request to the model. Yeah, and think of us as almost like an enhancement like data enhancement and we're figuring out where to how to create the best output from each model and spit it out. And again, this is all happening really new. This is all really new, right? It's happening in real time. So this is the direction that Jasper's going as well. So this is where the majority of our investment is being put into Jasper is around this inference engine and being able to use multiple models to create the best, most relevant content. And the inference engine is essentially a natural language understanding engine. Yep. Yeah. It's picking and choosing. And today it might be right, it might be text. It might be image rather. It's going to be video. It could be really anything, but it's basically just making sense of all these models and picking the right ones. Yeah, and I think in the traditionally AI world we talk about that inference being in the trying to understand the intent of the user. And so you're basically taking a first pass at that. And I believe you're also a pending additional information on it. So for example, if they're using a certain type of template, they may not have said that it's for a podcast or it's for a blog post. But your appending some information onto that before you're passing along to the model. Exactly. And the whole idea, especially over time, is that we want the models to learn who you are. Personally and be able to adapt to you or your company or your use case. You're going right where my next question was. So right now, I use it. I'm a first time user. I go in, I have this type of thing. I like it. I refine it or something like that. The next time I go in and do something similarly, do you take that into account of what I've done previously or how do you do that from a personalization standpoint? I ask that because this is one of the areas that has been the hardest for many AI companies that have consumer or business facing applications to do. Yeah, so today we're I mean, again, sort of one of the advantages of being at the scale we are, we have learned a ton of how people want to use different templates and how they want to use different workflows and we're taking that knowledge and applying it to you so that it's better for everybody. I think on the business side, you know, let's say you're a thousand person company and you've got certain content that you want to train the models on and you want the models to know sort of what your tone of voice is as a brand. That's where we want to go. So we want to be able to support those companies so that you don't even have to have it's not even important if you just logged in and used it yesterday. We know that you're this company. This is your brand tone. This is your content and these are how the folks in marketing have determined how they want the content to look. And if you're a salesperson for the first time logging into that system, you basically get to leverage all that knowledge that the system knows about your company and how you would want to use the tool to actually provide better content..

Day 360 of The Bible in a Year: Heavenly Worship
"We're reading revelations four 5 6 and 7, Titus one two and three, proverbs chapter 31 versus ten through 15. The revelation to John, chapter four the heavenly worship. After this, I looked and behold in heaven and open door. And the first voice, which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, come up here. And I will show you what must take place after this. At once I was in the spirit, and behold a throne stood in heaven, with one seated on the throne. And he who sat there appeared like Jasper and carnelian, and round the throne was a rainbow that looked like an emerald. Round the throne were 24 Thrones, and seated on the Thrones were 24 elders, clothed in white garments, with golden crowns upon their heads. From the throne issued flashes of lightning and voices and peels of thunder, and before the throne burned 7 torches of fire, which are the 7 spirits of God. And before the throne there is, as it were, a sea of glass, like crystal. And round the throne, on each side of the throne are four living creatures, full of eyes and front and behind. The first living creature, like a lion. The second living creature, like an ox. The third living creature, with the face of a man, and the fourth living creature, like a flying eagle. And the for living creatures, each of them with 6 wings are full of eyes all round and within, and day and night they never cease to sing holy, holy, holy, is the lord God almighty, who was and is and is to come. And whenever the living creatures give Gloria and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, who lives forever and ever, the 24 elders fall down before him was seated on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne singing worthy are you, our lord and God. To receive glory and honor and power for you created all things, and by your will, they existed and were created.

Our next hatchling writes, this comes from lank. Hey, turtles. Today I have one of my oldest and most beloved homebrew rules. Our table shares a dice box for rolling and it has been a long-standing tradition for things like initiative, group checks, or anything else that would have more than one player role that you can hit another player's dice to try to change a role for the better. It really brings a fun energy to the table and has the chance of making things worse. Take all my eggs, take off. Any time you're fucking beaming another dice with your D 20, I miss. You're fucking doing Bakugan battles. I live with your dice. Nothing better than an erratic throw of the dice in which you lose a decent 20.

"Ice. They are still frozen, though, 'cause I went to great lengths to freeze them. So I'm gonna, I'm gonna offer, especially because the deal is so great, the offering a 100%. So Diego, I'm gonna offer you just a nest of frozen eggs. Some amount that we don't know. Nesta frozen eggs. Got it. Yeah. It's rude to count Murph. Yeah. Especially when they're frozen, they're all stuck together right now, so it's actually hard to break them apart. It's a big block of eggs. When it thaws out, it's gonna be well worth your time. Yeah. I think I would like to invest in this. I will add, I think we could button this up a little bit. I think we could really work together on this one. I'm gonna try to sell you on this. I think that you really put it in writing, you say like within 5 initiatives, that's when you get to work together, you make it exciting so that when you roll, people come together. That's cool. I'm gonna go ahead and grab a coin to see how many eggs. Okay, so you're gonna get in the car, drive to the bank and then get a buy a coin. Murph also is left to get a coin. He's actually just standing in the corner now. He's just standing. Stand there for three minutes, muff. Three minutes. I will say one thing about this though is that I wouldn't be too heavy handed with it, right? Because if it felt like this was the gimmick every single encounter, it might end up feeling comfortable. Totally. Maybe it should be like two or three initiative spots. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I like that. Like keeping it close. To play tortoises advocate here. I kind of feel like the problem that it's solving to move combat along, it could make it worse to have people that rolled out better chatting talking and strategizing together. I think it should be if you roll the same number is the only instance it should come up and it doesn't seem like anything that would save time. That's what I was about to say. I think it would just be something that would be cool. Like if you get the same exact number to initiative, you guys get to work together to come up with a cool move. I think that's exactly what I was looking for. The change that I was looking for. They obviously does not believe in you. Do not go with him. He does not yet have the vision to follow two restrictive, okay? But I also had frozen my eggs from the previous pitch. So I could throw on some crushed some crushed icy eggs. They're just cold, Jake. They're not frozen. They're just seller temp your eggs. Oh no, they freeze. I'm gonna put down a cool 9 eggs. Okay. Okay. That's probably 9 eggs is how many eggs I have left. So I'm gonna abstain. Okay. Jasper, I think I'm going to, I'm going to make a pitch to you Diego, 'cause I love your idea and I think it's very strong. And I actually think that me and Murph could collaborate really well on this idea. So I'm going to offer you a further 9 eggs to make a total of 18 X and me and Murph will split the share of this idea 50 50. I love that. I think there's no way anyone's gonna beat us. I'm getting either 18 eggs because I think that Jasper and Murphy are on one team. I might have hard boiled not frozen. Just want to clarify. And then me and Jake are kind of vibing off another thing, but again, our eggs are frozen and aren't countable. On accountable. A mystery pile of frozen eggs. So we are two business partners teaming up here, Emily and I will roll and we're from Jasper will roll. Emily and I I think we should roll with advantage because we are doing the huge block of that.

"That's a family. Thank you. I recently developed a way to speed things up in battles with multiple PCs shared initiative. Basically, players who roll next to each other will essentially go at the same time and have a few seconds to strategize before ultimately deciding in what order to attack and come up with cool strategies for their initiative group. I tried it and it led to some pretty fluid combat and less downtime, which is something that really makes large group combat drag for me. I'm seeking to sell 100% of my idea for 100,000 gold and then retire in a spooky, abandoned mansion also Jasper come on ya gunners. Yes. All of my eggs immediately all of my eggs. I'll be honest, I liked the idea of all of my eggs. Bribery. Diego's pandering. Soft shell tortle. A good pander, a good pitch. I can't help but get invested in the story of you're gonna retire to a spooky mansion. I love someone who just wants to come up with one idea and then listen, you may have won over the other turtles, but the no chordal tortle has some questions. Yes. Oh, he's frowning. I'm just saying, what do you do? Okay, when you start a fight, and you know, you're at the tavern, you find out that the mysterious cloaked individual that you're there to find is actually a demon throws the knife and then roll initiative, and you don't get that kind of moment of people not knowing what to do. You don't get that moment of like, oh shit, this person acts first. Are they gonna jump into the knife? Sounds like they are in initiative groups, right? So it sounds like they're actually is still limitation from my understanding of the pitch, it sounds like if someone's 16 and 18, they are an initiative group, if someone's two and four, they might be in an initiative group. So it sounds like there might still be the tour de portal has the right of it. Is that correct? Yeah, I'm trying to parse out. And I guess if someone's cut off by a bad guy, they're probably in their own initiative still, right? Like if you got too bad guys either side of you, you're probably still in your own initiative, which might even be interesting. You know, that might lead to some interesting stuff. It's like a bracketing. The thing that this makes me curious about how fun it could be is if you were a strict about this, right? You couldn't be too lenient if someone 17 in the other person's 18. And then essentially they could be doing their turn at one point. It might be fun to see how people might combo their bonus actions and actions with each other. Yeah. I have no clue. I haven't thought about it, but I'm like, oh, that could be really interesting. The tag team aspect of it is what got me. It is really charming and marvel versus Capcom vibes. Yeah. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? It's a good thing. Okay. It's a very good thing. Because also I'm thinking like, what combat does is it often brings a group together. It often like, if you're starting out not knowing each other, combat is usually the first bonding experience. And so the idea that then suddenly your pairing different groups of people per combat, everyone will have kind of a unique experience to be like, we're fighting together this time. Wow. Yeah. I could picture a barbarian trying to grapple the opponent so that like the wizard could get some real easy fireballs off on them or something like that. It really ratchets up the teamwork. Well, the barbarian would then also take the fireball. It really ratchets up the teamwork. I'm thinking like, oh, there's like an oil lamp or like a barrel of something that the barbarian yeets over at the enemy as the wizard shoots like a fireball. You know what I mean? I don't like that. I feel like that could get real fun. And not only that, I feel like then you could really sit down and have a conversation about how you level up and be like, oh, if you take this, we could like, you know what I mean? Like combo in certain ways. I really dig this. I think it could be, I think it could add some really exciting levels, especially for maybe some of your experienced players, because I think when you're really, when you get to really experienced point, combat can very much be like, I have all of these set moves, which I do, like every time kind of thing and I think it can very quickly become this thing, whereas I think encouraging players to work together or use more environmental stuff if they're working together, I think could be pretty sweet. It almost makes combat more of a puzzle, which is fun. Like if you have like two people like talking out like how they want to approach something, it almost makes it more of a narrative interaction, which is really fun. Also the person who isn't partnered with anyone has tons of fun jokes about how they're all alone. True. Yeah. They can really go off on that. That's the main thing I like about this idea. Yeah, I think Jasper and Emily bring up good points that this is kind of the first way that people bond, so it's really good for beginners to kind of encourage them to work together as a team. And the Jasper brings up a good point that it'd be really fun to come up with fun combos as like a high level character because he kind of end up kind of just having your tricks. Oh, that's true. So at first I was like, first you were no choice. Problem. 'cause I'm the no turtles total. Yeah. So at first I was kind of like, this is solving a problem that I don't personally have, 'cause we use the older edition thing. I think it's an older additions. It might be complete home brew. I don't know. But we allow people to hold their turns. Yeah. So you kind of can go on the same turn. Precisely. However, I hadn't considered what like, you know, like a new table isn't going to know to ask for that. And if you actually bake that into the game and say, hey, you guys can actually work together. That is actually really cool. Murph's beak is cracking a grin. I just may have to chortle. Wow. Hang on. Wow. If everyone comes? We've never seen this. There it is. Wow. Oh my gosh. And he broke his nose. That's his one rule. Who tickled you? I was trying to say who tickled you in the cadence, you would say who hurt you. How would you tickle a turtle? Wait totals have been doing this for well over 90 years. And we've never had him. So what an incredible moment that was for all of us. Yeah. I think I'm gonna go ahead, take my eggs off the ice. They are still frozen, though, 'cause I went to great lengths to freeze them. So I'm gonna, I'm gonna offer, especially because the deal is so great, the offering a 100%.

"Fear, such fear in her eyes. Of course, the math is bulletproof. Yes. The math checks out. No one at home fucking bother. We know what we're talking about. I'm gonna go ahead and freeze my eggs on this one. Yeah. Okay, okay, but here's my question before I put any eggs on the table. What kind of like one in 1 billion chance that you make a mad trick shot and the coin lands on its side? Like on its actual side. I think it's zero. Yeah, the Jasper, I'm not gonna answer that Caldwell ask question. No, hear them out. He wrote our celebrity guest. I only felt comfortable asking that question because Caldwell is here. That's the only way more comfortable. Lands on its side, that's obviously a wish bell, my Friends. Okay, cool. All my eggs. I'm kind of with Jake here. I think this has already been kind of tested. I also agree with the celebrity guest. I think this is only gonna kind of work for like middling situations, which is gonna kind of take away from drama that you're looking for. I think if you want to use it in your game, you have to keep an eye out for a moment where someone's like, fuck, I need to get an 18 or higher to pass. That's true. In which case you can be like, or you could use the coin. But I think that's gonna be on your shoulders, 'cause I don't know that it will be on there. Totally. Yeah. I'd love to throw one more scenario out for this because I think this is where I would be willing to put some eggs on the table. Does it have to do with how the coin lands? Okay, so listen, if the coin, okay, so is anyone played fallout the game fallout, like the survival. Mysterious stranger in that where like a random dude shows up and there's loads of damage for you. I kind of love the idea of like this being like a random like a demonic creature or something turns up. It like a really like pivotal moment and just goes here you go. You could use the color and if you want to. I just feel like that feels like quite a fun you know creature appears out of nowhere like occasionally and a random moment, the DM can decide and be like flip the coin and it would be like even more than just a success. It will be an outright win. If you succeed, but you will utterly fail and maybe a part of your soul goes to hell. I just think it'll be kind of fun. We talked about this before. If you add the word devil to anything, it makes it a much cooler proposition. I hear some heavy metal in my head. Yeah. It could also just be a fun summon that you summon a creature that doesn't roll a D 20. It only flips a coin for a red Jack. Just imagining a Final Fantasy, some in just a demon thighs in and just flips a coin and then leaves if he gets a one. You have to get head to head to head to the same tails. A freak just got this fucking car in line. That was a full bubble spell to summon that thing. All right. How does this work for anyone's eggs? I think this is a fun idea, but not for my eggs are on ice. I'm gonna put in some eggs because as was mentioned before, this could be fun for a silly session. And I'm not immune to having a little silly time at the table. So I'm gonna put some eggs in, pick myself up a little coin. Devil's may or may not be attached. We're waiting to see. Or Jake want it, 'cause you guys can outbid Caldwell. Yeah, yeah. How many eggs did you put on the table Caldwell? I need to know the figure here. Out of my infinite supply of eggs. Yeah, we have an infinite supply, just dear list. Well, I'm gonna honor the coin flip. Actually, yeah, hold on. I'll honor the coin flip, and that will determine how many eggs I put down. It's either two or a million eggs. Okay. Oh my God, it landed on its side. Zero X, I'm out. I laid it out. I decided that somebody devil. She had some devil's real. I need to go. I need to go get my child. Caldwell just furiously looking for a coin. There's lots of things that have 50 50 odds. Dice work. Shelf right now. I have so many fucking knickknacks back here. I have no coins. Are you sure you want to commit to the bit? Oh, that's true. That's really can be. He walked away. You know, I think this bit is it worth my investment. Does that make sense? My eggs on this bit. Also, this is all, he has left the room. He's not there. Zoom is empty. So that he can decide how many fake eggs he uses. Sitting back down, putting the AirPods in, here we go. Any kind of find a coin. Could you even find a coin? Yeah. Okay. All right, so we'll probably want to cut right here. It's all gold dude. What do you mean? I was gone for like three minutes. Yeah. We know. Okay, so we got heads will be $2 or two eggs. And then tails were a millionaire. Coldwell's investing real money now. Career really holding audiences. I'm all in. It's tails. It's a million eggs. Awesome. Jasper, would you like to put in 2 million or I absolutely can not go higher than 99,990. I'm out. Jazz ride a number of eggs. That he knew. And for me, the coin of certainty actually the name I bristle at the name because it's still a coin flip. There's nothing certain about it. Oh, but it's more certainty. Like I said, in a situation where you're like, I need an 18 to pass. Well, it's becomes more certain. It's certainly extreme. It's going to give you a one or a 20. Two certainties. I can't have the public poking holes in my branding and for that reason my eggs are on ice. So this is yours. This is all yours. Let me just check my tank account

"Of the school board parents, speaking out against sexually explicit books in their kids schools, this was a drum beat that spread like wildfire everybody. This last year.

Not in my league at all, but he had a big head toward the door appearing through the window at the boy. His pants around his ankles squeezed between April straddled legs as she lay on top of a teacher's desk. I gripped his arms and flipped him around, pushing him against the wall. His eyes widened, mouth dropping, hey, what are you doing? He chuckled nervously. I took a deep breath before dropping on my shaky knees, the ground cold. Now, I want to apologize for playing that sexually explicit stuff because if you send your child to public school, you are knowingly exposing them to pornography and propaganda. At this point. But then cut 67, I started to show up at school board meetings. I tried to participate the best I could. Like, cut 67, play whatever they have. Good evening.

"Connected because the boundaries weren't recognized they weren't they were there in place and they were taken advantage of so to speak and they just don't relate there lots of families in the world today where the children and the parents aren't close. Yeah shit right. And either because that boundary was drawn or because there was no boundaries drawn and therefore hurt and guilt and All anger piled on top of each other creating a whole nother wall between the relationship and now that relationship is broken. I think probably some people hear what you're saying about drawing a boundary. And it scares them. 'cause they're like oh i want to draw the boundary. But i don't know how people are gonna react and i think other people probably are hearing you can draw that boundary and it's actually empowering to them because they think i've been wanting someone to give me permission for so long to draw a boundary and what you're saying is you have permission you have permission to create those boundaries within your life and then expect other people to follow those and respect those sure. You're you're getting some some people that are listening are a thank you for giving me that permission Recommend your listeners that they buy the book lovely choice by dr robert. Kim fell in paul meyer and just read. It can't because as you talk. I had a couple of years ago that that had a really good marriage and they just wanted to see if they can make it better and so she read. I think he read boundaries. Schubert loved the choisir boundaries by Cloud and thomson and they came back six weeks later. We got the same we talk and they were like oh my goodness we've learned so much about ourselves and we are so much about how the have a better marriage by reading these two books and so there are mandatory beneath anybody. I do primarily council for their mandatory pre by concentrate forecasting just wants understan- holler go about happening a healthier perspective of themselves and a healthy And and learning how to have to recognize in have health worships their central from my perspective. Everybody wants to just have better relationships. Better marriage friendships. But i have to warn them. The books can be very painful. Because most people i have read the books usually put them down about halfway through because they they really don't wanna think in terms of collecting the thing which is getting them to change with the they're saying they'd be about things and then they go back. The second half of the books tend to be. Okay now. here's what you do. The machine gained. How how this is going to help you. And so i would highly recommend that they buy two books. You can audio versions. if you're god regions let's do it on a i assure you they're latching. They are life changing books. That will make you be able to recognize in ships. Like i said i have a friendships that They're just amazing by help is just. It's just amazing how much it works out. And i'll give you just one last name. They show you just how wonderful it is but you have health relationships years ago i had archer hurt mercy heart surgery and my wife says the hospital into it's going to be five or six hours for them. The my seven passes in which stated no later set me up inside of me by us. They were going to put in. But as i was going into surgery one of the nurses take me back asking. She goes well. Who are you and what do you mean who am i got attack. It's just cut. Jasper that's why. I'm no no no no no what do you do. I go woman and engineer a pasture. I don't understand what's the problem. She goes well. There are a lot of people here a lot of people here. Well there's a lot of people in the room. Your wife i go. Oh i'm a pastor. And i've been a passionate as town for twenty five years not pass through several churches lot of friends so probably a few migrants. She goes. no not. If you've your friends she says there are enough people that they're disrupting the operation. Still with your wife right now. Ooh that's not good so okay you can tell my wife my friends to to kind of mellow out or whatever. But that's how many people turned out more or less the sport abney when i went in for heart surgery and that was because The ended the privilege of being involved in friendships relationships with people for thirty plus years in valley. And that's the blessing. I think people are missing on either my swedish daughter who was on the east coast. When i was shoved surgery she was only planning on east coast. She flew to las vegas. Just make sure. I was okay and only known each other. We only known each other ten year. We met two thousand. And so we know Years and even she hard enough to get on an airplane and flat east coast income. Make sure i was here. It's been a week with meagre in las vegas neutrons. Okay so many relationships. I just think people don't understand the just how valuable they are. Precious have less than the arm and they do requires work. But it's worth the effort. Yeah hope your readers will read the books. Yeah you listen to rather read the books. And w yeah they will absolutely blessed and we'll put those on the show notes so that people can click on those have an easy link to to go purchase. Those i have one more story. One more thing that i want to ask you and this is. This is my personal. You don't i guess you don't remember saying this to me but We were sitting in vegas. We were visiting my family. Who lives there and you were there as well and And i was in the dating process probably in college. And i don't know why someone asked this question but someone asked my dad they said. Would you have an issue if courtney dated a black man and you know. My dad was like my dad's lover right. I mean he's like no. I wouldn't have a problem. That wouldn't be a big deal at all and you said i'd have an issue and the room went silent like what and and and you you continue to explain yourself you know you said is not that i wouldn't want you to date. It's that i'd want to sit down with you before you entered into that relationship. And that that moment i mean first of all that shows the care that that you have once again for kids of of your friends right. My parents are your friend. But i am their child and you had enough care for me to say yet. There's something we need to talk about before you would jump into that. Why was that your response because I experienced being in an interracial marriage. I have experienced being friends with people of different ethnic group and i've experienced the the blowback becomes Not everybody in. The united states of america are for the most part arcane on interracial marriage interracial dating and it presents challenges. And so i would. I wanted to be ali. Potential challenges that you going to face the standpoint of the way people think about you. Because that's what i've dealt with. That's what i've dealt with my friends The the stairs when you go to restaurants the snide remarks that people may just.

When he notices that there's a helicopter flying over the house. He runs through the window to see if he can spot him. The helicopter keeps on flying in circles and circles, and it seems that the helicopter is looking for something, but isn't quite able to find it. Hey, mom. Jasper says, do you know why there is a helicopter flying over our House? I don't know jesper, Jasper's mom, Robin says, perhaps if you maybe turn on the TV, it'll be on the news. And Jasper walks into the living room and turns on the TV. Breaking news. It says people of Kamloops. This is your chance. Somewhere in your town, the mayor has hidden a treasure chest. Find a treasure chest and you will win a lifetime of free donuts. Wow, free donuts forever, Jasper says, I want to find the treasure chest.

Now that's smart enough to formulate its own responses. And in one or two or three years, that's the that's the future of this Had my friend better at the leading edge of having that type of technology would place people to answer basic questions. Right now. There's already technology. We even use this in my own SMS texting businesses where you opt into our service. And based on what you say an automated response if this then that if this then that if not this, then maybe this and it sends you text messages back or even emails back based on what's happening. Are you guys On the railroad listening to this and getting prepared for that. Yes, we're staying Super close to that. My personal view is that it's moving a little bit slower than people might think. Right, So it's not going to happen next month. It's not going to happen next year. So for the really basic questions over the next few years, What I think will happen is the super basic questions? Yes or no questions that a computer can answer Computer should answer and we want to be able to empower our people to move up the value chain. And to be able to answer harder questions or engage with customers and more sensitive issues that are better suited for humans and not computers. I got you. So how did you get into the space? What? What ultimately led to this Was it like you had something in a text base before you always know you wanted to be an entrepreneur? Yeah. Fiction. So my co founder Brice, not how can I started the company 8.5 years ago? We've been business partners since we were in high school since we were 17 years old. Also, we had different businesses together throughout throughout high school and Africa College. We knew we wanted to start a business. This is Before being an artist. There was cool by the way, right? And so we started used to mean you didn't have a job. Usually, we mean, really, we were just unemployable. And so we knew we had to start a business because it really wasn't a whole lot else. And it was 2000 and eight, not the best of times for the economy. And so our initial idea, which makes sense as to why the name is task us was a virtual personal assistant company. You're familiar with Tim Ferris's book for our Work Week. I'm sure, of course, right and follow the four hour series is And so we thought that was a big thing, And we thought That as part of that virtual assistance would be with take off. Every busy professional or spying entrepreneur would have a virtual assistant. That was our thesis of the book because of the book, right? And this was like the movement at the time. And then the other people that read Tim Ferriss book. Yeah, target people that read that target this whole movement of like, I want to be an entrepreneur, but I want to be traveling and hammock half the time, right. So we thought virtual assistance was gonna be a big thing. And so we set out to build a company that allowed people's outsource one task at a time. Okay? And so we had Tested service providers from 12 different countries before realizing that the Philippines was a really great place to do this work. And so we hired a few people on our own in the Philippines, who would fulfill these basic tasks that we had coming in from the few clients that we had? That business model. I don't know if you can tell it was horrible. It's like because you're working for 10 bucks an hour and you're trying to meet the demands of all of these very finicky clients, And then you would outsource work to someone another country We'd get to work back. We ended up fixing it ourselves so great value to the customer to have Bryce and I doing work for $10 an hour really hard as a business model, But through that We had a team in the Philippines, and then we went to other people that we knew who were building startups, just having identified ourselves to start up founders in Santa Monica and he said, Hey, how can we help you guys outsource different functions in your business. You got his great team, the Falcons and then we got our first client, which did a voicemail text transcription that entrepreneur Jamie Semenov, one office or other companies. He's now running ring, which is the video doorbell, which is doing really well and we went overnight from having five people to that 100 listening to voicemails and then transcribing them..

"jasper" Discussed on Podcasts - Love & Light School of Crystal Therapy
"From australia now. I wanted to share. Just a little bit about jasper's in general because this is such a big family of minerals and so frequently it's easy to get them confused or not quite understand where all the differences come from while jaspers are primarily. We courts so they're made of silicon dioxide or so two which has been broken down and then reforms within the earth often picking up traces of other minerals in the process so wherever this happens in different locations across the globe the courts will pick up different minerals based on what happens to be around in that area more complex. Jaspers can even include veins or small pieces of other minerals like we see in rainforest jasper rainforest Though some jaspers are actually aggregates rile. It's like we've been talking about or even other types of stones but in general jaspers are associated with grounding and connection to mother earth. The really heavily patterned ones are also often associated with creativity and mental focus like we see with rainforest jasper now because jasper comes in a huge variety of colors and patterns. People have gotten very creative with names given to specific types of jasper found at different locations. And they're frequently named for plants or animals so these names not only described the stones appearance but they often add meaning to the stones uses as well for example leopardskin. Jasper another type of ri- light is associated with animal communication which makes a lot of sense as leopards themselves have long been seen as messengers dalmatian jaspers associations also extend to its properties. It's fun loyal and cheers you up. When you need a friend just like a dalmatian or a dogwood and as you might guess elephants skin jasper ties in with memory and wisdom across many cultures and time periods. We've come to see and make use of these connections between plants animals and mineral kingdom and so if this crystal shows up for you take time to release study it and get to know where those connections come from now also if rainforest. Jasper shows up for you..
