A highlight from Eric Diaz's Journey From the University of Georgia to Coaching Rising American Alex Michelsen
"Welcome to the official tennis .com podcast featuring professional coach and community leader Kamau Murray. Welcome to the tennis .com podcast. We are here with Eric Diaz. You remember the name? Eric is son of Manny Diaz, coach of Alex Mickelson, Werner Tan, and right now has his own thing called tier one performance out in the Irvine area. Welcome to the show, Eric. How's it going? Thanks for having me. Thanks for having me. It's great to be on. Great to be on. So I interviewed your dad probably about 2 months ago. That was, you know, we were poking fun about him redshirting Ethan Quinn, you know, not choosing not to play Ethan Quinn later. You know he wins NCAA the next year. It was kind of like, what were you thinking, right? Yeah, one of those tough ones. Oh yeah, it was kind of like, did you think he wasn't ready? Was he, did he think he wasn't ready? Like, you know, you probably could have won NCAA twice. That kind of thing but you obviously came from good tennis pedigree. So, I guess the first obvious question was what was it like growing up with your dad being Manny? You know, because I, it's hard not to take work home, right? Let's just put it that way. You're a tennis coach and a child of a tennis dad. Yeah. You know, I don't know. I think anybody that's been in tennis for a long time knows it's kind of a lifestyle a little bit. You know, there's definitely being the tennis coach and kind of, you know, working toward things but it's also, I don't know, the sport takes so much of you that sometimes, you know, it just feels like, you know, it's second nature. It's kind of a part of it. So, I mean, growing up in Athens, growing up around Dan McGill Complex was always a treat. That was back when NCAA's were kind of always hosted in Athens. So, I got to watch, you know, all the college greats. I grew up watching the Bryan brothers get, you know, sadly then they were kind of pegging some of our guys in doubles matches but, you know, it was really cool being able to sit court side, watch those guys and then, you know, be able to watch them on TV a little bit later. Really cool. Really cool experience growing up. Now, from a junior career, did your dad coach you your whole career or did he hire private coaches to sort of teach you technique? Because I know, you know, coaching at a program like UGA, it is very demanding and sometimes the children of the tennis coach lose out to the actual players and the people who are paying. So, did he coach you? How was that? You know, he coached me. I think he tried to coach me but at the same time, he also didn't want to put too much pressure on me to like, you know, really play tennis and go in. So, he kind of let it be my own thing. I started, I actually went to Athens Country Club, great little spot on the outside of Athens. Alan Miller was the main coach there. So, he helped me out a lot. He actually, he was on my dad's first, you know, assistant coaching team where they won a national title. I think he paired with Ola who now obviously has been with USGA for a while. I think they played doubles and I think they won a doubles title as well. So, I think Alan was a part of the first team championship and then he was also, you know, he won a doubles title there too. I think he might have won two. So, I spent a lot of time around him which was also, it was really cool. You know, it was a guy who was a part of the Georgia tennis family. Athens is really tight -knit like that and so it's special to be a part of that family both, I guess, through blood and through, you know, the alumni. It's cool. Now, let me ask you, did you ever consider going anywhere else, right? I mean, successful junior career, one of the top players in the nation, tons of options. You know, it could be like, you know, there's always sort of the, oh, his dad's going to give him a scholarship, right? You saw with Ben Shelton, you know, Brian Shelton. Obviously, he's going to look out for his kid. Did you ever aspire to like go to another top program or UCLA or Texas or Florida? I think growing up, you know, because I got to see all those teams play. You know, I remember in 1999, I looked up this guy who, he played number one for UCLA. I don't know, this guy showed up. I'm a little kid and he had half of his head was blue and the other half was gold and, you know, UCLA was firing it up. They were really good at the time. I remember that was my dad's first national title in 99. And, you know, ever since then, I really, you know, I looked up to the guys. Every now and then, I got to sneak on to a little travel trip and, you know, I got to see what it was like. But, I mean, for me, it was always Georgia. I thought Athens was a special place, you know, getting to see the crowds that they get there and being able to kind of just see the atmosphere of everybody caring about each other. You know, it was cool looking at other teams. You know, the Brian brothers had the cool Reebok shoes, you know, the UCLA guy with the different hair. But at the end of the day, it was always the dogs. It was always Georgia. So, I was really lucky when I got to be a part of that team and I got to kind of wear the G that, you know, through my junior years, I was always wearing it, you know, but I guess it was a little bit different when you're actually, you know, on the team and representing. I think it's a different feeling. Yeah. So, if you didn't go into tennis, what else would you be doing? Like, you know, I didn't, you know, I'm obviously coaching now, but I didn't go right into coaching. I went to work into pharmaceuticals like marketing, sales, you know, finance. It's always, I always find it interesting to say if I wasn't coaching, I got my degree, I would be doing this. Yeah. You know, if I was a little bit more prone, I think to just loving schoolwork and loving studying, you know, everybody's always told me that I would make a pretty good lawyer just because I'm a bit of a contrarian. I like to argue. I like to challenge everybody that's kind of around me. So, I'm always looking for a good argument. So, I'll go with that. Everybody's always told me, you know, maybe you should have been a lawyer. You argue a Hey, lot. well, I'm sure, I'm sure your tennis parents, right? The parents of the academy probably don't like that one, right? They like to be in control. They have the last say and be contrarian. A lot of the time they do. A lot of the time they do. Yeah. So, you're sort of like stepping out, right? Out of the shadow and you're now on the west coast out there in the with Irvine area tier one performance and quite honestly, making your own name. I know you've had opportunity to coach Alex Mickelson as well as, you know, Lerner, Tan who are both like doing real well, both like main draw this year at US Open. Tell me about the process of moving way west. Yeah. And starting your own thing. Well, you know, it kind of started with, you know, I took that leap and I moved away from home for, you know, the first time because obviously being born and raised and going to school at UGA. I took my first chance and I went to Boise State and I worked under Greg Patton for a year who I'd heard great things about and, you know, all were true. He's a great guy. I thought it was a fantastic experience. So, I did that for a year and then over the summer, the UGA swim coach's son that I kind of grew up with, he was in Newport and so I kind of came to visit and then, you know, all of a sudden the opportunity to be coaching out here, you know, came about and, you know, I did my due diligence a little bit. You know, I looked at the old tennis recruiting pages and, you know, I'm looking at all the talent over the last like 20 years and, you know, statistically, you look at the list and you're like, okay, you know, if I'm in this area and I give myself, you know, the right opportunities and I, you know, learn how to coach properly, you know, I feel like I've had some pretty good experience from some good mentors. You know, then I kind of thought, you know, okay, maybe I can kind of control my own destiny out here a little bit and, you know, over time, it's taken a lot but, you know, over time, I feel like I did get myself some pretty decent opportunities. So, when you first laid eyes on Mickelson, how old was he? He was 12. He was coming out to some point place. It was the first place I kind of rented courts. It was this old rundown beat up club but beautiful. There were some trees there. Nobody wanted it. The courts were kind of run down and everyone's like, oh no, nothing there and I was like, I'll take it. So, you know, it gave me space. It gave me courts. It gave me the ability to kind of try and market. I made things cheap so I could get a lot of kids out there and try and get a competitive environment going and luckily, you know, had a good bit of talent out there where, you know, the kids kind of attracted the kids and I was this young coach, 23, 24 and, you know, over time, you know, people started to kind of gain trust and realize, you know, this guy isn't that bad. So, you know, over time, it kind of, you know, worked in my favor and, you know, everything kind of worked out. I eventually switched clubs to a nicer one and, you know, you move up. You earn your stripes. Now, when you saw him, did you initially see, you know, like super talent because he won our ADK this summer and, you know, it was full of Steve Johnson, Su -Woo Kwong. It was Ethan Quinn. It was other names, right? Kanee Shakuri. And Alex, okay, you know, he got the USTA wildcard. He's a young kid. You know what I mean? Like, sort of under the radar and then he wins the whole tournament in finals Newport on the grass like a week later. So, did you see it right away? Was he like a typical kind of 12 -year -old throwing his racket, having tantrums? What was he like at 12? Alex has always turned on tantrums. But, you know, when he was 12, he was good. But, you know, I'll be honest, there were a handful of kids out there that, you know, Kyle Kang, who's had a lot of success. I saw him. Sebastian Goresney, who Alex won doubles with. There were a handful of others and, I mean, Alex, they were, he was good. If I thought that he would be this good, you know, at this point, I think I'd I don't think I saw that. But, you know, you definitely see that this kid's capable of playing at a pretty good level while he's young. And then, you know, as the years kind of go and then as you sort of see him and his personality kind of develop, you kind of recognize, you know, this, you know, this isn't too normal of a 16, 17, 18 -year -old kid. And then, you know, sure enough, eventually the results followed, which was pretty fun to watch. Yeah, I mean, I felt it was interesting because he was here with like his friend. Yeah. You know, not even like a coach, trainer, physio, nothing. Like him and his homeboy. Yeah. He didn't look like he played tennis. You know what I mean? So, yeah, it was like, it was interesting to show up without, you know, completing against guys who are here with like coaching that they're paying six -figure salaries and who are scouting, right? And for him to kind of move through the draw, honestly, I mean, you know, maybe he split sets once. Yeah. It was actually really interesting. He's an extremely competitive kid. And so, you know, throughout the last few years kind of as we've traveled to some events and as he's gone to some like by himself, you know, the whole understanding is, okay, how well do you really understand, you know, your day -to -day process? How well are you able to, you know, nowadays, you know, with challengers, everything you can stream, you can watch. So, you know, both myself and, you know, Jay, the other coach that's here and helping him out, you know, we watch, we communicate. But, you know, at the end of the day, you know, it was one of those big decisions, okay, are you going to go to college or are you going to go pro? And he's kind of weighing those two things. And it's, you know, if you really think you want to be a pro, show me. And so it's one of those things, luckily, when he's young, you know, you have the, you know, it's kind of freedom. If he loses some matches, okay, you're young. If, you know, you win some matches, okay, great. You're young. So it's one of those things where, you know, we really kind of wanted to see, you know, what he's able to do sort of on his own. How well can he manage emotionally? How well can he, you know, create some game plans and stick to his day -to -day routines? And he, I would say he passed. And did he officially turn pro? He officially turned pro, yeah. Yeah. So I know UGA was going to be where he was going. I know he was undecided this summer, but UGA was going to, was there a little bit of an inside man kind of happening here, right? You know, I mean, you know, I think that, you know, I'll definitely say, I think he had some exposure to hearing about, you know, some Georgia greatness. I think that for sure. But, you know, I'll say it was his decision. Ultimately, I tried to not put too much pressure or expectation on where he was going to go. You know, I think Georgia has a lot to offer. So I think, you gone that route, I think it would be, you know, I don't think we can really fail if, you know, you're going and you're trying to be a tennis player and that's a place you choose. I think it's a pretty good place. Now tell us about Lerner Tan. I'll admit as a player that I hadn't had the opportunity to watch too much. I had not watched him in the challenges at all. But was he also sort of in the program at a young age or did he just sort of come later on? My partner actually, you know, kind of helped him when he was young because Levitt Jay used to be incorporated at Carson, which was kind of where Lerner kind of had his, you know, beginnings. He was a little bit more, I guess I'll say, you know, his talent was Federation spotted, I guess you could say as to where Alex was kind of, you know, the guy on the outside a little figuring his own way. Lerner was kind of the guy that everybody kind of thought was, you know, the guy. Right. And so, you know, it's been fun kind of watching him, you know, see his transition, you know, from juniors to now, you know, kind of becoming, you know, the top of juniors, you know, winning Kalamazoo the last two years and his transition. It's been fun to see. So, you know, I've seen a lot of him out of the last, you know, two and a half to three years. So it's been, it's definitely been a different transition. I feel like, you know, it's a little bit fire and ice there. You know, Alex is the fiery one screaming a good bit and Lerner is the silent killer. So it's, they're definitely different, which I think, you know, is pretty refreshing and it's kind of cool to see them both have success in their own accord. So tell us about Tier 1 then. So how many courts, obviously you grew up, I mean, like, you know, I started in the park years ago, right? In Chicago Park, right? And now I got 27 courts. But tell us about Tier 1 performance now. Where are you? How many courts do you now have? How many kids are you serving? Yeah, we're in Newport Beach right now, which is great. Weather's nice. We have, right now, we're running our program out of only five ports. It's not that big. You know, we take a lot of pride in just kind of being individually, you know, development based. I feel like if you're in our program, you're going to have, you know, a good bit of time from the coaches. You're probably going to have a chance to hit with some of the top guys. We try to be really selective with who we kind of have. Just because in Southern California, it's really difficult to, you know, get your hands on a ton of courts. There's so many people in tennis. There's only a few clubs now. You know, pickleball, even at our club right now, you know, pickleball is booming. You know, so many people are playing. It's keeping clubs alive, which, you know, I think is nice. But at the same time, I would love to see, you know, a lot of tennis courts and tennis opportunity. But, you know, it is what it is. Yeah, man, pickleball is definitely taking over. You see clubs getting rid of one court, two courts, and they think that it's not that big of an impact. But I mean, two courts really makes a difference in terms of being able to spread kids out, get them more time, get more balls and more balls at the time. But it's, you know, I think in tennis, if we want to fight them off, we've got to market better and we've got to grow, right? They're in this growth sort of stage and we're sort of stagnant, you know, so it's not like we're not leaving the club with a lot of choices other than to diversify, you know what I mean? Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. So, let me ask you that. So, you've obviously had two kids that are going on. What do you tell that next parent, whose kid's 14, right, may get to see learner Alex come to the academy and number one, they want to homeschool, right, or ask you whether or not they should homeschool or B, you know, whether or not they should choose to go to college or, you know, turn pro. How are you advising parents? Because I get the question all the time. Should we homeschool, right? Should we do whatever? And I always, you know, the answer is always, it depends. Yeah. But what would be your answer in terms of homeschooling to train? Well, look, I definitely think that if your primary goal is to be a tennis player and I think, you know, if you're an athlete and that's kind of what you want to do, I think there's a lot of benefit in homeschooling just because, you know, it enables you to travel. You know, if I get to the ITF level, you know, I need to be able to travel. Those tournaments start on Monday and they go through Friday. So, you know, if I'm in a regular school, if I'm a high school kid, you know, that's a pretty difficult life for me to be able to justify or to, you know, be able to get my excused absences and stuff like that. You know, we're definitely big. You know, if you show me a 14 and under kid and I feel like I had pretty good experience in this just because I saw a lot of kids from the age of 12 to 14, you know, I got to see an entire kind of generation out of SoCal and a lot of them were pretty good. You know, the one thing I think, you know, when you're 12, 13, 14 years old, I think the primary thing kind of for level, obviously it matters how you're doing it, but I think the primary thing is the repetition. You know, I saw a ton of kids where they had a bunch of practices and I knew that that kid probably, you know, had 30%, 40 % more time than some of the other kids. And, you know, sure enough, that kid is more competent at keeping the ball in play. You know, they're able, you know, they've just seen and touched more balls. So, you know, they're going to make more balls. I think it's a balance. I think it really depends on the parents. I think it really depends on the kid. And I think it depends on the environment that they'll be in if they are going to be homeschooled. You know, I will say that, you know, we've had a handful of kids kind of switch from high school to homeschooled and they're in our program. But I feel like there's still strong social aspects in our program. You know, all the boys are tight. They compete a lot. They, you know, I feel like they get their social, you know, they go to lunch. And just kind of our standards are really high. I think this past year we had five kids that graduated that all went to IVs. So, you know, it's totally possible whether you're homeschooled or whether you're in school, I think, to, you know, kind of pursue academic excellence. I think, you know, just because you're doing one thing and not the other, I don't think that that necessarily, you know, takes that away from you. I think tennis can open a ton of doors. And I think I kind of, you know, we've kind of seen that in the last few years. I've seen a lot more tennis kids choosing IV ever since 2020, I feel. I feel like the IVs have been pretty hot, especially for some blue chip players, which I think, you know, if you look prior to 2020, I think the percentages took a pretty drastic jump, which is interesting to see. Yeah, you know, it's funny, you know, in some markets you see people playing for the scholarship and in some other markets you see them playing for entrance, right, into the Princeton, the Harvards. And one of the myths, like, I think if you think about basketball or football, right, the better basketball football players are obviously choosing the SEC, right, Pac -12, whatever that is. But in tennis, you know, I think that, you know, your academics and your tennis have to be, like, at the top scale to go, just because you're not like a bad tennis player if you go to Harvard, you know what I mean? Like, the kid that goes to Harvard or makes the team probably could have gone to PCU, right, or Florida or whatever, you know what I mean? And so it is interesting to see the number of people who say, yes, I've spent 30 grand on tennis for the past eight years and I'm still willing to pay for college, right, because I got into Princeton, Harvard, Yale, etc. But I think it's a big myth where, you know, the United States is so basketball focused, we see Harvard basketball as, like, okay, that's everyone that didn't get chosen by the Illinois, the Wisconsin, the Michigan. And it's not the same, you know what I mean? Yeah, it's different for sure. So when you think about, like, the Ivies, right, you see a lot of kids go to East Coast and you think about, you know, COVID obviously changed something with the home school, you know, sort of situation. People who never considered that it was possible were like, okay, well, we've been living at home for a year and a half and doing online studies, it's not that bad, you know, they're more focused with their time. Did you see more people from families who you thought would not have done it try it post COVID? Yeah, definitely. I think the really popular thing that a lot of people are doing now is kind of a hybrid schedule, which I actually really like a lot. At least in California, I don't know if the schooling system is different everywhere else. I know it was different where I was from. But a lot of these kids, you know, they'll go to school from 8 to 1130 or 8 to 12. And, you know, they have their three hours where, you know, I don't know how they stagger their classes and stuff like that. But I know that pretty much every kid at every school in SoCal is at least able to do this if they so choose. And so they're able to get released around 12 or something. And, you know, they're able to be at afternoon practice and get a full block in. You know, for me, that still enables you to get the hours you need on court and to be able to maintain some of that social. And, you know, if you become, you know, really, really good, I guess, okay, by junior year, maybe you could consider, okay, maybe I should take this a little bit more seriously, maybe I should go full time homeschool. Or, you know, a lot of these kids are in a place where it's, you know, I'm comfortable with my tennis, I like where it's at, I feel like it'll give me opportunity in college. My grades are great. And, you know, maybe that person's a little more academically inclined. And, you know, they want to have a career and they feel like tennis is that great stepping stone. Which I think is a really cool thing about our sport is it just opens a tremendous amount of doors. I feel like if you figure out how to develop and be a good tennis player and how to compete well in tennis, you can you can apply that to almost everything in life. Yeah. So you talk about opening doors, right? When Alex or Lerner were sort of deciding whether to walk through door number one, which is college, or door number two, which is which is obviously turning pro. Right. How did you advise them? You know what I mean? If I say, hey, you know what? Take a couple wildcards. If you went around or two, maybe you go to college. If you win a tournament, maybe you stay out there. If an agency locks you into a deal, right? Then, you know, they normally know what good looks like and they normally have like the ear of the Nike, the Adidas, right? Then you turn pro. What was your advice in terms of if and when, right? Yeah. For those who ask. Well, they were both in different places. I'm gonna start with Lerner cuz he's younger. He actually, you know, did a semester in college. You know, Lerner finished high school, I think, when he was sixteen, sixteen and a half. And so, obviously, your eligibility clock starts, you know, six months after you finish your high school. So, for him, it was, you know, he was so young, he didn't really have much pro experience at that time. You know, he did great things in juniors. You know, he won Kalamazoo. He got his wild card into the men's that year and then, you know, he played a little bit of pro kind of and then, you know, that that January, he went in and and did a semester at USC which I think was a good experience for him socially. He had some eligibility problems which, you know, only let him play about five, six matches toward the end of the year which was kind of disappointing and then, you know, he won Kalamazoo again and so, you know, that was the second trip there and then, you know, by then, he had a little bit more exposure with, you know, agencies and brands and kind of, you know, the stuff that you'd like to see that'll actually give you the financial security to kind of, you know, chase your dream and pass up, you know, the the education, I guess, for the time being. So, you know, I felt like that was really the security was a big was a big thing for him. You know, prior to winning Kalamazoo for the second time, you know, he still had Junior Grand Slams to play. He wasn't playing men's events. So, for him being that age, you know, it was, well, you know, I'm I'm not in a massive rush so why not get a semester in and I think he had a great time. He really liked it. I mean, he he speaks pretty positively about the dual matches. He actually follows college tennis now a little bit more. You know, he will talk about some dual matches which I think is pretty cool and you know, I think it gave him some confidence getting to play for university, getting to represent, you know, seeing that university promotes you. I think there's a lot of benefits there and now, you know, he's got an alumni base. You know, people talk about all, you know, he's a USC Trojan and stuff like that. You know, you see it at all different tournaments. You know, guys are wearing a USC hat and, you know, hey, learner, da da da and you know, I think that that's pretty cool to be a part of, you know, a big family of people who are proud that, you know, they can say they played in the same place and then Alex. Alex was, you know, he was a little old for his grade and he was one that he committed and, you know, the whole time him and learner kind of, you know, talking and, you know, about going pro and da da da da. You know, obviously, it was their dream. You know, I just kept telling Alex, you know, I don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear it until, you know, it's a real problem and so, you know, he gets to 400 in the world and, you know, it's what you do. You get to 400. You know, it's good but at the end of the day, you know, you're not, your life's not changing because you're 400 in the world. You know, so he's 400 in the world and he's, you know, saying stuff to me and I'm like, I could not care less you're going to college and then it was, you know, this was probably in January, February, you know, he starts to kind of do a little bit better and I think at that point, I recognized that he was better than a lot of the guys kind of at the challenger level. You know, just from my perspective, I was seeing kind of what it was, what it was to be 300, what it was to be 200 and I think at that point, like February, March, I fully knew that he was good enough to be there and to be winning those matches but at the same time, you know, having financial security, having set, you know, all of those factors that kind of go into whether I'm going to pass up my education and go pro. You know, it's a big decision and so I remember we were putting it off. I just said, you know, nothing till US Open. I was like, we're not, we're not talking about college till US Open. I said, you know, when we get to US Open, you finish US Open, you have that exposure, you know, we see what happens in those two weeks and then, you know, then we'll kind of make a decision but until then, like, don't even think about it. Don't talk about it. Don't care. You're going to school and I think that mentality really helped him kind of just play free. He was, you know, I'm not playing to go pro. I'm trying to do my job in school, finish my high school. I'm going to tournaments, playing great, just trying to compete and, you know, lucky for him, you know, well, I guess it's not lucky at all. That kid worked his absolute tail off but, you know, he had that success in Chicago at your club and then, you know, he made that little Newport run and I think by then, that was his third or fourth former top 10 win and, you know, he won his challenger. He final the challenger. He'd semied another one. He had kind of shown and, you know, some people have gotten attention and they started believing in him and so then, you know, that's when that big decision kind of came but I feel like for him, he really established himself, improved himself amongst pros which I think is an interesting thing because a lot of the time when you see these juniors kind of go pro sub 18, a lot of the time, it's because they had tremendous junior success which then made them, you know, they had grand slam success and stuff like that but Alex didn't have any of that. You know, Alex was kind of the late bloomer that, you know, in the last year when he was already 18 and aged out of ITF, the kid really just took it to a new level and, you know, I think he really showed that he's kind of ready for what the tour has to offer.
Dear Dyslexic Podcast
A highlight from Episode 59 with Bill Goj on Life as a Dyslexic PhD candidate
"Hello there, and welcome to the Dear Dyslexic podcast series brought to you by Rethink Dyslexia, the podcast where we're breaking barriers and doing things differently. I'm Shaye Wiesel, your host, and I'm so glad you can join us. I'm a fellow neurodivergent, and I'm coming from the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, where I live and work, and I would like to acknowledge and pay my respects to all the tribes across our beautiful country and to all First Nations people listening today. Our podcast was born in 2017 out of a need to give a voice to the stories and perspectives of adults with dyslexia, and our voice has grown stronger year after year. We're now a globally listened to podcast with guests from all around the world. Join us for insightful conversations about living with dyslexia and other neurodivergences across all walks of life. Our special focus is on adult education, employment, social and emotional wellbeing, and entrepreneurship. We're excited to be bringing you this episode and invite you to like and follow us, or even better, why not leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform? So let's get started. Today, I am speaking to Bill, who is a PhD colleague of mine. And when I say colleague, we met through our PhD support group that we run through the foundation. And Bill is a peer, I should say, rather than a colleague. And I'd like to welcome him onto the show today where we'll be talking about everything to do with research and being dyslexic and trying to do a PhD. So welcome to the show, Bill. Thanks. Good to be here. Thanks for asking me. Thanks for coming along, especially because we've just spent the last half an hour chatting instead of doing our podcast. So, yeah, dyslexics get distracted. Yeah, we do very much, which I think is one of the good things about having our PhD group, because we get to talk about trying to do our PhDs, but also all the all the different facets of life that come with studying and being dyslexic. And you are studying a very interesting topic, one that blows my mind, because I can't do numbers at all. So how did you end up doing your PhD? What led you on this crazy journey of academia? Oh, wow. How do you sum it up? For those listening, I'm a mature aged student, but I'm like 50, over 50. In the summer. Yeah, thanks. And so I had I had decades of life in between. And school was horrible. And I have very few good memories of it. So, but I always loved learning. And I felt I was good at it. And I don't know, as I got older, I did little things through TAFE, because I wanted to do human resources. So I did the TAFE Diploma and I started doing the Advanced Diploma. And I topped the year. And this was like, late 20s. So suddenly, I was sort of in a situation where I wanted something, I applied to get into it. And it's all sort of like surprising how I sort of got into it. Because half of me is thinking, yeah, like, I'm gonna be able to do this. But I did. And yeah, I totally topped the year. suddenly And which opened a door that I didn't really believe was there for me in the past. And then I sort of thought, I can do this. And it wasn't until recently, I suppose, in my recent life, that I got into a situation where I could choose what I wanted to do. So in kind of an odd kind of a way, it's like going back in time. And I was fascinated by, I do a PhD in marine biology. So I was fascinated by animals and, you know, the marine life and stuff like that. And suddenly, when I went to university, I was looking at applying, it quickly became a reality that I could almost or pretty well apply for any degree I wanted. you And, know, from someone who like failed, you know, year 12 and dropped out, dropped out because they were failing it and failed grade two and stuff like this and hated school. This was like, one of those epiphanies of, oh my God, I can do my dreamers. So I turned into a kid again and picked marine biology and at every, I didn't really think I could do a PhD in it. I didn't even know what a PhD was, to be honest, even though my dad's a doctor, I didn't know. So as I went through it, I figured, oh my God, I could do this and I'm really good at it. And then I got into the honours and then the dyslexia thing started hitting a bit. And then I wasn't sure that I could do a PhD, but everyone else thought I could. And so I was like, that's good enough for me. Let's give it a go. And here I am. I've got lots of questions to ask you, but going back in time, you said school was horrible for you. So we're of an elk where diagnosis just did not exist. So were you diagnosed as an adult as well when you were doing university? Yeah, so my dad is a retired doctor, psychiatrist. So there's a bit of understanding in terms of neuro differences. And, you know, my mum was just like, my child is smarter than failing grade two, except by grade two. So I forgot the question, Shay. This is me. This is a very dyslexic me thing of like getting totally sidetracked. I'm so sorry. No, now what was the question? I think the question was around diagnosis. Were you diagnosed like I was because we're older and there wasn't such a thing. I don't think I'll just see a diagnosis back on the room. So I'm so random. I was so random. Anyway, so, so, so, yeah, look, so, so there's something wrong with what the school thought I was like because they just thought I was dumb and stupid and lazy and that type of thing. And I what could do, because I could say or tell them all of my parents, all about animals and my mum would be in the car going, oh, what's this plus this? You know, and there'd be big numbers and stuff and none of the adults could do it. And I just pop and go and say it. And they'd be like, this there's a disconnect there. So so my mum sort of could pick this. There's something different about me. So so they got me tested in a time where I know someone could qualify this. But, you know, I reckon half the people as described to me didn't even realise dyslexia existed. And some of the teachers, like half teachers would be like, no, it doesn't. That's rubbish. But she got me assessed then. But I lost that assessment at university. They asked for an assessment and I'm not even sure they would accept assessment from me since I was like late forties at that stage. And the assessment's 12. So I tried uni the first semester because when I did that course in the past, I told you about I never told anyone I was dyslexic. And I tried it, but after the first semester, it became very clear that you could pretty well wipe off maybe 20 to 30 percent of my grades off of every single subject just before I started it because of my disability. And it became obvious in second semester that to give me a chance to actually do well in it, I needed to say, hey, I've got a disability and to get acknowledged, I needed another testing. So I got tested twice and hey, the assessments align very neatly, which is interesting over 30 years later. That is interesting. I've always wondered if I should get reassessed because at the time I was going through my divorce, so I was in really bad state. So I wonder if there'd be any improvements now or and trying to do my PhD. Surely I've improved somewhat with my writing, but it would be interesting to see. And it's interesting that you say 30 years difference that they still pretty much aligned. Yeah, well, that's that's a really interesting point, because they aligned in terms of the the how the different psychologists, one was done by one. The other one was assessed by two. And the two reports align in the sense that they talk about how, you know, the deficits you have and they sort of value it. And those values were basically the same. What was fascinating about it, I found that in these two reports, this is kind of one of those things. And I'm happy to, you know, share them with you, because I think that I just think that's fascinating is is that I read better, you know, and so I had improved, which is a really it was brilliant. And that was just like, you know, that was like that. That was that was amazing. And, you know, you know, and it sticks in. It's one of those things that I think we're talking about before the podcast out of memory and stuff. It sticks in my head that I was told I'm read like a 15 year old. And I was just like, that is better than I'd ever been assessed or, you know, thought I was ever doesn't mean I comprehend the same way. I can read as fast as 15 year old. I won't recall most of what I read if I read that fast, though, to be to be blunt. But I still when you test that basic thing and time it, I can still regurgitate the words without sort of really soaking it in when I'm reading. And this is complicated. I don't get it myself. But but yeah, so that was interesting is is the progression you make in that and things that they pointed out when I was young, which which I think is is frustrating. And the problem with testing people so young is that they pointed out that they couldn't really tell if I was trying or if I wasn't trying when I was reading. You know, I mean, because by 12, I suppose I had a lot of hang ups, you know, bullying and harassment, reading out loud stuff like this. So they put that we're not sure whether this is a true assessment of certain certain things. And so it's great having that one later, which basically said, no, no, these are these are exactly the same. And they hadn't read my old report because I couldn't find it. So it's interesting to see an independent assessment over 30 years later, just saying, yep, you are this, this, this, this, this. These are your deficits and going, wow. You know, that's they are there's no denying it. It's interesting. There's two two points, hopefully, that don't drop out of my head. As I'm saying, it's starting to drop out of my head is, you know, we can improve, even though we our brains are predisposed to difficulties in reading, that we can improve and the importance of early assessments and interventions so that children have the best opportunity they can to manage their disability and to build skills around it. But also and we're getting way off topic. Sorry. No, no, don't apologize, because it's important. And it's the conversation around assessments, particularly when you go into higher ed and you have to have that assessment. But the like how they couldn't decide whether it really was your dyslexia that was impacting you or whether part of it was this is in my terms of baggage that you brought, because by the time you were 12, you'd gone through all those difficulties. And that's why I had. Yeah. And for me, it was such anxiety to think I was being diagnosed at 27 with this disability and how was my life going to change it? I'd taken all this back. I knew I had all this baggage in. And every time I did the testing, because it was over a few weeks, I'd go and sit in the car and I cry before I went home. Because it's like, oh, my God, there's something wrong with me. And so it's interesting. I wonder, you know, again, the importance of having an assessment when we're younger, like even before we hit preteens, because we're not carrying so much baggage and maybe it is a true reflection or maybe it doesn't matter, because like yours demonstrated, regardless of the age difference, you still those primary challenges were still there. Yeah, yeah. Look, it's I mean, I found a lot of benefit from doing it. I but you know, obviously it's a novel thing. I mean, you can't go back in time. But I mean, now now I think I mean, you'd be better positioned, of course, to tell me me actually what they're doing. But, you know, they're assessing kids a bit better now. And it isn't a part of the part of what happens in school in grade one or two or something that they are they are assessed for reading and writing skills, you know, potentially which would show up us. But it's not a formal assessment. So it's not something you can compare it to. Some some states, I think, are bringing in phonics checking in grade one. Yeah. Which starts to give an early indication that children might be starting to struggle. But I mean, normally dyslexia typically shows up in grade two onwards when we're starting to put sentences together and to read whole words and bigger words. Yeah. So whether grade one, I'm not I mean, yeah, I know that some states are looking at bringing in or they already are. Whether it's too early, I'm not sure. I wouldn't want to comment on phonics. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Look, look, you explain things so much better than regarding this. Oh, well, it's it's an area I don't like to step into very often. But you got I don't want to sidetrack the conversation because it is around how we get into doing our PhDs. But the assessment process is really important. And you had to demonstrate by the time you got into higher ed that you did have dyslexia and disability. And so there's two I guess there's two questions. One is around how do you self advocate once you get through to a PhD level? Because what I've found is that supervisors, there's an there's a misconception that if you're dyslexic, you're never going to get to that level. And I don't know that from that I hated my speech degree and wasn't until I did my masters that I actually started to really love learning and see I could learn. And I just had in my head, I just had to do a PhD. And I don't know whether it was because I wanted to prove to people that I wasn't dumb and that I was succeeding in academia because I'd struggled in my life. It was just in my head I had to do it. I didn't know what I was going to do it in. Originally, it was going to be on Aboriginal communities and that space I love working in. And then finally, it ended up being in dyslexia. But how do you like everyone told you you could do it? So you said I was going to do it. Is that what drove you? Is it to see what's behind the desire to do your PhD, I guess? It's a long window. Yeah, look, look, it's really holistic. And I mean that in, you know, holistic and holistic, you know, both. There's there are a whole lot of things here. I mean, I, I love learning about this stuff. It's like an addiction. it's, It's, it's, it's something which I mean, even without doing study, I'm still, I still do it anyway. You know, I'll still sit there for hours and watch a bug climb up a tree and see how it does and why it does. And, you know, I can't get those out of my head. So, so to me, it was a really natural progression in that sense. The barrier was always dyslexia. I see it as, or dyslexia or something which, which indirectly came from the dyslexia. You know, so having everyone say, so me really wanting to do it because it was just, it's just a continuation of what I do. So it's like, it's like getting the opportunity for someone to pay you to do what you just love doing anyway, even though they make you do certain things like write a lot that you hate. You know, they also make you read like all this research on it, which you love, you know, it's just like you, you, you imagine it and you see what they're doing in your head. Like, yeah, you can really, you can see it and feel it. And you relate it to all those experiences you've had. And it's just, it's just a really, it was just a really sort of like joyful thing for my brain to do in that sense. And it makes the struggle of reading worthwhile. So before I was getting a whole lot of, you know, you know, assistance and, you know, before I was really tapping into the text to speech programs like that, the pain was so worth the benefits. And that's just because it's like an addiction. And that's probably a good way to describe it, because, you know, you know, addiction might not just be the chemicals, it can be the process, the your environment and the whole of other things. And to me, it's just me. And this is the cool thing about sort of like the way I see it as I became a kid again, because these were, this was my escape. One of the escapes I did from the torture of school. It was, you know, and home. And it was, it was, it was really, it was, I only have good, strong, good and wonderful memories from learning about bugs and animals and fish and stuff like that. And and so the PhD basically was somebody just said, hey, look, you know what you you want to do as a dream? You know, you can do that. Here you go. And then which made it when it felt like it was getting taken away from me at some stage because the supports really aren't there at PhD. It made me fight to the death, you know, and I hate using that word. That was really how strongly I felt about it. I wasn't going to give up once, once somebody gave me that carrot. It's that's my carrot, you know, this bunny is angry. And I would like, I want to come back to self -advocacy. But it's interesting you say it's like an addiction, because originally when I wanted to do a PhD, I was like, yeah, that's just something in my head I have to do. But I completely resonate with you when you're it's like you're in your flow and your purpose, like for me. And like even when my mum was dying, I was still writing my papers, still doing my thesis and people say to me, why are you doing it? And you kept saying, take a break. And I said, but that for me, that is where I find my purpose and my passion. And I know the work I'm doing is is going to make change for people. And 100 percent. And I really resonate with that addiction word, because it does feel like it, because you're constant. Like, I just love it. And I keep saying to people, I'm going to do go on and do my prof doc or do another PhD and everyone, because I don't get paid like you. It's all voluntary, six years of voluntary PhD. That's dedication. And but I just love it. And I can't explain it because it's so hard. Writing is so hard. I'm terrible at it. But the concepts and being able to go out and talk to people about what I'm finding in Australian first research, that's the stuff that just drives me to keep going. Yeah. Oh, look, a quick example. We'll get back on track. But this when I was doing what was it? It was it was my undergrad and I was falling behind in stuff. It was my third year, I think I was falling behind and stuff. And I just asked for an extension for my now supervisor. I think it was undergrad or it was undergrad, whether it was honours or not, I'm not sure. Anyway, so my supervisor, my to be supervisor and she said and I was I was volunteering for another scientist. I'm doing all this work, all this work. And she came and goes, What are you doing here? You've asked for an extension, you know, for this work, because you don't have enough time to do it. And here I come in and you're doing volunteering work for somebody else on some other non -related project. Bloody bloody bloody blah. And my response to her was, this is how I relax. Don't take this from me. Don't take this away from me. And and I was so like scared of it being taken from me that she felt it like she's amazing. My supervisor is amazing that she was like, OK, and left me to it. And that's that's it is it's it's it was my she was taking my hobby, you know, and I needed that. I need that to distress. And I needed that to to get my head back in track and to try and so I could get back on the horse and punch it again and sit there for hours trying to write this thing and doing my head in and reading, blah, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, it's funny that our self -care is doing something that is so hard for us. I know, I know. But isn't it great? I mean, haven't we just picked the best careers ever? You know, you know what I mean? It's it's it's a funny life just moves you in funny ways. Well, because I've been meaning to do do a Facebook live in our Facebook group, the other one and our community. And it's about my husband says that I've got an addiction of buying books. And I do every time I go to the post office like, what are you going to the post office for? It's another book, but I really do need it. So chapters out of different things.
The Financial Guys
A highlight from Preventing Terrorism and Illegal Entry: Border Security
"Some of this stuff, like I'm almost speechless. Like I can't just keep yelling about it anymore. And it's that feeling of like, oh God, here we go again. Right. But like, that's what it feels like. It's just a never ending cycle of like disappointment because it's, and again, like it's the simple, like one plus one equals two. Welcome to another Financial Guys podcast. I'm Mike Hayflick along with Mike Speraza. We are actually recording on September 11th. So Mike, we're going to start a little bit with September 11th. We're going to end with Buffalo Bills talk because tonight, Monday night football in New Jersey to play the New York Jets. I always thought that was fun. Yeah. We decided to record this morning in case we have a couple too many pops tonight and we don't want to get in at seven 30, eight o 'clock in the morning. So that's the reason for this one. Hopefully out of celebration, let's not even talk about the other reason we might have a couple more than usual. That's right. That's right. Mike, so September 11th, 22 years ago, since the Twin Towers fell, America attacked. Couldn't stop thinking this past weekend about how united we became after that attack, yet how divided we are right now under this current administration. First, where were you on the day, September 11th? I was, I believe in third grade and I was in school on Grand Island at the time. I remember, not very much, but I do remember the school, of course, and I'm sure your kids, Mike, probably dealt with this if they were in school. Everything was shut down and you had to have your parents come pick you up. They wouldn't bus kids home. I just remember utter chaos, really, is what I remember about it. And it's something I feel like we may never feel again, hopefully, right? Knock on wood, we never feel that again. But it was, and days after it, because we had, I think, a day or two of school off after that, because I believe it was a Tuesday, and it was just crazy watching that unfold on TV. And again, I was a young kid, so I didn't really understand the moment that it was, but it was wild to watch on TV. You see people jumping, you see planes continuing to hit. I mean, it was craziness. Couldn't make sense of it. I remember, so I was a career changer a few times, and that was in the midst of a career change for me to go into teaching. And I was just about to start my fall, which would have been basically my last of three semesters to get another master's in this time in education. And on 9 -11, I had gotten invited to an interview to a nice little Catholic school out in Alma because they needed a math teacher. So, and I got this tip by a Canisius College professor. So I said, hmm, I remember calling my wife, in fact, a few days prior to that, saying, hey, they need a math teacher. And she kind of eyes me up and down, and you know my wife, she's like, hmm. Yeah, you could probably do that. I could help you with the lesson plans and so on. So anyway, I go for the interview on 9 -11, and it's like 7 .30 or so in the morning, and I ended up getting that position. So I went home, and it was funny because Mikayla, my older daughter, was actually only two and a half, just going on, or no, she had just turned three years old. And Maddie, my youngest, was like eight weeks old. And I'm with my father -in -law, who has now passed, rest his soul, wonderful man, Al. He was with the baby and with Mikayla. And I remember saying, hey, yeah, turns out I'm gonna go out and work as a math teacher out in Alma while I'm in school for this last semester. I'll go to classes at night. You know, and we just chatted a little. I walked into the family room, and I see the TV, and I'm like, hmm, plane hits tower. And I'm like, that's crazy. And of course, right away, I think, private plane. You just, you know, small private plane. You hear of these accidents, you know, an engine failure, whatever it was.
Evangelism on SermonAudio
A highlight from Session 1 Evangelism
"By the way, this seminary building is something else. It's my first time here, and I was thinking as I was out in the rotunda going around, and I'm going to do some more going around that rotunda, interesting, interesting material out there, and I'm thankful for it. Have any of you ever been to the Billy Graham Center of Evangelism up at Wheaton? Some of you have. I've been there. I'm glad this is here and as well done as it is. The interesting thing is this is a seminary. Some think this is a seminary, but everything out in that rotunda is about evangelism. What does that tell you? They're saying in this seminary that evangelism is mighty important. Evangelism is important, and we need to keep that in mind. So we've got these two weeks. I'm thankful. I kind of wish I was staying next week to hear Dr. Van Gelder and myself. I don't know of a fellow more qualified to do the right kind of a job. He and I sort of agreed. We talked about it, about how we're going to do this without overlapping. There will be some overlapping, I'm sure, but I'm going to stick somewhat with philosophy. I'm not a philosopher, so I don't know how well I'll stick with it. I'm going to stick somewhat with philosophy of evangelism, and he's going to stick more with methodology. I will get into methodology, and he undoubtedly will get intermingled in all of his matters of philosophy. You can't have a method without a philosophy. It's impossible to have a method without a reason for the method, and that's philosophy. So that will be somewhat the basis of these two weeks. I'm going to start off today with not any of my lectures. I thought I'd just introduce myself and talk to you and give you a little background about my own life. I thought you might be interested. If not, just endure it anyway. I came to Bob Jones in 1946 as a student, and that was the year that the preacher boys class really grew. Because 1946 was the year, just after the war was over, when a large number of fellows returned from overseas, being a lot of Navy guys, Army guys, a lot of them Navy guys. That year, I enrolled in February of 1946, second semester. That year, I think there were 200, I'm not sure exact figure, preacher around 250 boys that enrolled from the service. Those fellows included Phil Schuler, Jim Singleton, Glenn Schunk, Jim Harwell, who is now a member of our church in Tucson. A tremendous number of guys. I could go on and on. If you're up in the Washington, D .C. area, I can't think of that fellow's name. He had the big radio broadcast up there. What is his name? Anyway, we had 250 that enrolled in that class, and it increased the preacher's class immensely.
The Charlie Kirk Show
A highlight from The Harvard Set's War Against the Constitution with Alan Dershowitz and Noah Durham
"Turbulent times call for clear -headed insight that's hard to come by these days, especially on TV. That's where we come in. Salem News Channel has the greatest collection of conservative minds all in one place. People you know and trust, like Dennis Prager, Eric Metaxas, Charlie Kirk, and more. Unfiltered, unapologetic truth. Find what you're searching for at snc .tv and on Local Now Channel 525. Hey everybody, it's Andy the Charlie Kirk Show. Turning Point USA is taking charge on campuses. We are making America a better country and the reinforcements are coming. You're going to leave us some hope after this interview. You'll love it. Email me as always, freedom at charliekirk .com. Get involved with Turning Point USA today at tpusa .com. That is tpusa .com. Start a high school or college chapter today at tpusa .com. Get engaged, get involved with Turning Point USA. That is tpusa .com. As always, you can email me freedom at charliekirk .com. Buckle up everybody. Here we go. Charlie, what you've done is incredible here. Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses. I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk's running the White House folks. I want to thank Charlie. He's an incredible guy. His spirit, his love of this country. He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created Turning Point USA. We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country. That's why we are here. Brought to you by the loan experts I trust. Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandtodd .com. This is the most conservative high school graduating entering college class of boys in the last 40 years. Something huge is happening and we saw that poll and then I'm starting to get reports from our amazing Turning Point USA field team saying Charlie, we're now seeing this on the ground. We're seeing this when we're recruiting. The response is incredible. Now we have the macro and the micro together. Joining us now is Noah Durham, who is a field rep for the best organization in America. I'm a little biased. Turning Point USA. Noah, welcome to the program. Thank you so much, Charlie. No, yeah, you're absolutely right. We are seeing it on the ground firsthand. Just in the first week of me being back on campus, recruiting for Turning Point USA chapters across the South, we've connected over 800 freshmen just in my territory to their Turning Point USA chapter at their college and university. So we're seeing it. We're seeing the hype. And so just so everyone knows, Turning Point USA, we are doing the work on the ground to save America. This is clipboard and tennis shoes type work. While other people are kind of talking and debating past each other in Washington, DC, and they're writing white papers that people won't read. Look at these images. One after the other, after the other, doing the difficult work. Noah, walk us through in detail. This is tough work. This requires grit. This requires hustle. But the payoff is huge. Noah, tell us about it. Yeah. So, you know, first thing when I get on campus, I just set up a table and start talking about the conservative movement with people. And I've seen of time and time again, students come up and say, wait, is this a place that supports free speech? Is this a place that I can go to on campus and make friends that think the way that I do? And yes, absolutely it is. And the movement's growing and the word is spreading around campus. And I'm so excited to see it grow, especially this year. And so tell us, are you seeing, you know, especially with young men, are you seeing a little bit of a heightened interest more so than previous years? Yeah. And I absolutely think, I think they're fed up. I think they're pissed off coming out of the public school system at their high school. They're tired of these liberal indoctrination camps that keep weighing them down and they're not able to express themselves in school freely as much as they are on college campuses. And then they come to college and they say, you know what? Now is the time. I'm sick and tired. I'm joining a Turning Point USA chapter, and I'm going to make a difference on my campus and in my community. And that's also why I'm really excited for our high school department expanding and getting onto even more high school campuses than ever, ever before. So yeah, it's great things all the way around. Yeah. And so we now, we are the only organization in America at Turning Point USA that has a full -time staff, nearly 50 to 60 people just focused on high school chapter development. By the way, as we're talking here, if anyone is interested, go to tpusa .com. That is tpusa .com. Start a high school chapter, start a college chapter. That's 60 full -time people. By in comparison, the RNC has zero people doing anything. They're up in Milwaukee doing whatever. But Noah, talk about the grittiness of the work. I mean, your students get by the administration, they get smeared, they get slandered. You have a generally conservative region, right? Panhandle region, but some of the schools are as liberal as Stalingrad. Tell us about it, Noah. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, we've seen just honestly, last week we had a number of freshmen come up and they say, hey, I know this is syllabus week, but we just had a number of classes in political science department and they seem to already be pushing these liberal and woke agendas day one with their curriculum. And so they are scared. They're wanting a community to support them and we can provide that for them on campus and just creating that space where someone can come together and meet with like -minded students and have that support and be able to report on the professors that are, you know, basically creating these indoctrination camps in their classrooms is a great resource for them. And they're very appreciative of it. And yeah. You guys want hope that are watching at home. Look at these images. One after we got hundreds, we have thousands of these on campuses across America. When we first started Turning Point USA, I was told, can't happen. Young people are liberal. This work is already getting done. That is a lie. A lot of those groups are low energy. They're out of the way now. They're old. They're outdated. We are on the front lines doing the work. So proud. Noah, tell the audience your story. You started as a chapter leader, which are the Navy Seals of the Conservative Movement. Tell us about it, Noah. Yes, sir. I was actually, I think I was a junior or senior at Auburn And, University. you know, I follow Turning Point USA since the beginning on social media and everything. And honestly, I saw how the college Republicans on campus were all just kind of lame, not really doing much, didn't have much interaction at all. And I was like, let's, let's start a Turning Point USA chapter. So I just went on the website and looked up all the information, how to get it started, and kicked it off from that point on. And, you know, I had, you know, probably 10 to 12 members until I left the school, just regular members at the chapter meetings and everything. We still had a great time. But now I get to work with that same chapter that has over 400 members. Wow. Yeah, 400 members at their chapter. It's grown significantly. They actually just had their first meeting last night, their first chapter meeting of the semester, and over 50 freshmen attended their chapter alone. And we must understand, there's some kids that are afraid. These are kids that are outspoken, right? Because there's a silent majority too, right? Now talk about that. I bet, you know, because we do this thing called tabling at Turning Point USA, which is our bread and butter, because unlike these other groups that just sit around on their hands and do nothing, we're not afraid, you know, to sweat. We're not afraid to wake up early. Tabling is the backbone of Turning Point USA. So, Noah, but tell me, I bet there's people that come up all the time. I hear these stories. Again, this is coast to coast from Buffalo to Arizona State, UCLA. We got thousands of these images. Noah, you hear from people and they whisper and they say, talk about the whisper, Noah. It's a big thing. Tell us about it. No, absolutely. And I'll take it a step further. Yes, students whisper, but we also have a number of college professors that come by the table and they say, hey, I'm with you. You know, they kind of walk up, look around, make sure none of their co -workers are watching. But that's the same kind of thing. There's this silent majority that's still kind of, you know, waiting in the balance. I feel like COVID helped a lot of people come, you know, out of the closet as a conservative. But we still have to push more and more to encourage more of these professors and students to come out of the closet and express their conservative values openly and proudly. Openly and proudly. And so if anyone across the country want to start, say, Turning Point USA chapter, go to TPUSA .com. That is TPUSA .com. We are also hiring, right? And the Republican oligarchs. conservative This can't be done on campus. A waste of time. We have proven them wrong over 11 years. When we first started 11 years ago, the millennial generation was supposed to be the most progressive generation just from a worldview perspective. Now millennials are about 50 -50, almost within 50 -50. And Gen Z is trending amazingly. Noah, are you seeing that Gen Z? Have you seen something change for the positive, even more enthusiasm and more energy as we close this out, Noah? Absolutely. I mean, like I said, over 800 freshmen connected to their chapters just in week one. Week one. That's just one region, by the way, everybody. We got tons of these. This is just one place. Keep going. That's just college. For sure. Yeah. Week one, and we're seeing it too. The excitement when we're tabling. Students are running across the concourse to our table the second that they see our signs, the second they see the Turning Point USA logo. And they're like, okay, now's the time. I've seen you on social media. It's time to get involved. I want to make a difference here. TPUSA .com. Noah, tell people what happens when they sign up to start a chapter. They hear from you or one of our reps and we get them going. No excuses. Every, by the way, adults get your kids involved. If you're a student, TPUSA .com. Noah, tell us about it really quick. Yeah. Get involved. Sign up on the Get Involved form on the website. Your Turning Point USA representative will reach out to you and get you plugged in with your chapter and start a chapter today. It's great. Start a chapter. It's TPUSA .com. Noah, you're doing great work. So proud. We have the best staff in the movement and it really is special to see over 11 years. I'm telling you, Gen Z is going to shock the world. They know it. That's why they attack Turning Point USA so much. We're the most attacked organization in America. Noah, God bless you. Can't wait to see you. Maybe at a campus stop, UCF. I'm not sure if that's your territory or not, but I'll be there. All right. We'll see you there. All right. Thanks, Noah. God bless. Thank you. That's TPUSA .com. Frontlines. That should be your white pill, everybody. Oh, Charlie, things are terrible. Stop it. Go to work. Oh, you know, the country. No, stop it. Get out of the way. If that's the kind of complaining you're going to do, I got no patience for you. Seriously. I get these emails, Charlie, it's a waste of time and all this. I don't have the luxury to believe such garbage. Do something about it. Reinforcements are common. Gen Z is ascendant. Bottom up. Yeah, your leaders at the people from DC, they are awful. I get it. Do something about it. That's what Turning Point USA is all about. Next generation, young, energy, grassroots. That's the type of muscle that is going to make a difference for generations.

In the Classroom
A highlight from ELT Cast 115
"So today I want to talk about RemNote and provide some context. The video that I created on February 12, 2023, discussed my move from RemNote to Notion. And I want to do a follow -up video to explain my rationale why I'm moving back to RemNote. In that video, and then where I discussed a little bit of frustration with RemNote, mainly had to do with the idea of sharing and resharing RIMs or notes. So in RemNote, a document, basically anything is referred to as a RIM. It can be a document, it could be a bullet point, or a series of bullet points. But one of the things that I find very valuable in RemNote is the ability to share RIMs with my students. And so I oftentimes will plan lessons, plan different activities, and basically share my planning and our activities that we do day to day, week to week through RemNote. So it's very important for me to be able to share this information with students by clicking this option up here at the top right hand corner of your screen here, this shared option. So the video that I created last February, I was going through some issues trying to reshare, more than anything, reshare RIMs. And having updated RIM be reflected in the moment when I reshared those documents. The issue wasn't so much the initial shared process. If I shared a document immediately, that was available typically to students. But if I were to go back and make changes to the RIM and reshare it, there were some issues with those changes being reflected when students were accessing that information. That issue seems to be resolved at this point. Today's October 13th. They've made some improvements in that. I have found after I've completed one week of this fall 2023 semester, for the most part, most students are able to access RIM and be able to access a changed, you know, RIM that had been changed and where I have reshared that information, those changes typically are reflected to students. I have had a couple of students have some issues accessing RIM, but I don't think it's an issue. I don't think it's an issue on RemNote's side. I think, honestly, I'm not exactly sure what some of those issues were. That might be that the students need to eliminate the cache or maybe just clear their browser. Haven't really identified yet what that issue is, but out of the 90 students that I currently have for the semester, maybe five or six students had issues. So I want to talk about my current layout as an instructor. I am teaching English language teacher trainers. So students are studying and preparing to be teachers themselves, English teachers. And so when I share my information here, I typically organize it by semester. So on the left hand side of my screen, you'll see that I have a RIM document called fall 2023. And I have currently the three courses that I'm teaching this semester that are located here in this space. There's a fourth course listed here, but this was a course that I was taking last month. So there are different ways that I can access this information. On the left hand side, I can easily go directly to the course where I have all the course information, the general information, general description, general objective. And then I have the course content where students can access each week's module. So each week's module is a separate RIM or a RIM document. So all of this information is being shared to the students on the top right hand corner of my screen. If I click share or reshare in this case, I can easily just copy this link over and make it available to my students. Now, one of the things that I have been exploring also in RemNote is the ability to add the same course content to groups. And they have made a lot of developments to their community, their RemNote community, where individuals can create their own profile and share different RIM and link it to their profile. So in my case, if I were to go into my profile, you'll see here that I have different documents, different RIM that are associated with my profile. This is still, I think, a work in process. It's still, I think there are some improvements that can be made here, but you'll see that I have different groups now and I'm experimenting this semester, setting up groups for my courses. And for example, Listening and Speaking is a course I'm teaching this semester. And I can go in and I can invite members and I'm probably not going to explore too much the group feature at this point in RemNote. It would be nice later if there was a little bit more flexibility in how these documents could be arranged or maybe even created different categories within these groups so that this information could be organized in a way that maybe a course would be, you know, if I were to set up a course through a group, being able to organize these documents would be helpful. But just as a side note, this feature does exist and I anticipate a lot of changes in the future that maybe might make this a little bit more adaptable or flexible for those who want to set up a course as a group.

Rutgers' unions ratify new contracts, formally ending strike
"Unions at Rutgers university ratify new contracts formally ending a teacher's strike. Three faculty unions that include thousands of professors part time lecturers and graduate student workers at Rutgers overwhelmingly approved four year contracts that include across the board raises and additional job security for part time lecturers along with significant raises and job security provisions for graduate students. This formally ends the first such job action in the school's 257 year history. The union staged a 5 day strike as students were finishing their spring semester and preparing for finals and commencement.

You talked to them, how's your semester going? And then both of you would say, we should get lunch sometime. That's right, yeah, that's famous. That's an American thing.

Naomi Wolf Discusses Her Recent Speech at Yale
"Welcome back. Thanks so much for having me so great to be speaking with you again. Certain people are many people are difficult to sum up. I will remind people that you and I were in the same class at Yale, class of I think I was in the class of 84, but that couldn't be. That would make us way older than we know that we are. But we were in the same class at Yale. You are now the author of many, many bestselling books, including most recently and unfortunately, most importantly, the bodies of others, which we've discussed, the CEO of daily clout. I want to talk to you about everything that you're talking about, substack, and wherever you're writing. And but probably maybe start with something that you wrote about, not very long ago, that you visited Yale University and experienced the weirdness of that. I don't know. Can you frame that for my audience? What happened that day? Sure. So, gosh, Yale university has mandated on its poor students that they must, even if they've had COVID, even if they have had the first and second mRNA injection that they must have a booster, the same booster that was tested on 8 mice prior to returning to campus for spring semester and the deadline is this month, the 31st. So I have to say, if that were my kid, there is no way I would let them get those injections so they could attend, quote unquote, Yale University. But you're telling me they are mandating this. It is just unbelievable, especially now that even the mainstream media is beginning to report on the adverse effects like death is reasonably adverse of these injections.

Smylie Kaufman Talks About Going Pro
"The lightbulb kind of came off for me, spring semester, my senior year, put a ton of work in that off season, from a swing perspective. I was always not the most weight ball striker. In college, I was probably one of the better putters in short game guys in college. I think that's what kind of chuck saw in my game as well, our coach, and he just always said if he can get on the green as much or more than everyone else, then you're going to be there and then a golf tournament. And eventually, I started getting control of the golf ball, you know, where I could kind of point and shoot where I was looking and then from there I was able to be on the green as much as everybody else and quickly I started getting a lot of confidence. It kind of belief in myself. Kind of had took a lot of ownership and my golf swing. And playing week to week, that spring of my senior year just building confidence is a week, weeks came on, was able to qualify for the U.S. open right out of school. That's right. Yeah. And that was like the big, I think it was I qualified in locals while I was in school and then right after NCAA's did sexual and made it through pretty easily. And at that point, I was like, I was still thinking about doing another summer of amateur golf. Because I was like, I'm so ready to get to the top of amateur golf because I really just hadn't broken through yet. And I was like, at this point, I make the U.S. open. I'm like, well, that decision's made easy. I'm going to definitely turn pro now. And from there, just had a really nice summer. Didn't make the count to be open, but it felt like my game, you know, when you get to that was the best thing that could happen to him.

"last semester" Discussed on NewsRadio KFBK
"If we don't make it more affordable, so people can rationally retire in California folks are going to continue to live themselves. It's that combination of jumping in right away, making our state more livable our quality of life and affordability and a governor and have some common sense and this look is going to take action. Unlike what we get from Gavin Newsom, which is a bunch of rhetoric. It doesn't do anything. And if you allow me, I'll throw in just two more topic. Absolutely. I talked a lot about it last week. First and foremost, I'm going to put our state on a war footing when it comes to wildfire preparedness and declared state of emergency and says We're going to go do the fuel reduction in the brush management that should have been done. The last decade. Yeah, do all of the emergency ingress and egress the fire break up all of the things that this governor won't do because he's a captive to the far left. That's just unconscionable. I'm going to give Cal fire the tools to support the dollars necessary to go out and do their job. And then secondly, John, you know, I think I feel very strongly about In the midst of a drought again, but his governor doesn't change the dynamics. It actually help increase the supply. He will not move forward when new reservoirs I will. I had the opportunity when I was in Sacramento just last week and Enough to Maxwell and talk to the folks at the sites. Reservoir Jpa, You've got to move forward on site, So we have to move forward with temperature flat down a little farther south in the valley. If we don't if we don't increase the supply How do we expect anything to change in California and all we have is when Newsom comes out every year, and he says, we're in a drought and wants you to take a shorter shower. That's not going to do it. That to me is an absolute graphic illustration of a shortsighted Set of circumstances in which failure is an absolute guarantee You've got to look at things differently, Got to change the dynamic. You can actually alter that equation by improving the resource itself by increasing the abundance of the resource, I think desalinization. Something has to be thought about, too. I know it's expensive, but at some point when you have a state that's got infrastructure for about 18 million people and has grown to nearly 40 million people. Got to you got to recognize there's times are changing. We need to address things differently. So what about the real quickly? What about unions? You undoubtedly had to deal with the unions in San Diego? How did that go? And how do you see that? Playing out in California's governor? Well, let me first. Just say you're right on on desalinization. We move forward with detailed ization in San Diego County, uh, about 15% of our water supply now, so it's absolutely And all of the above strategy and again, this governor's hasn't done any infrastructure. And I'll tell you I have a lot of experience and standing up to the to the folks in the union who spent a lot of money trying to prevent me from becoming mayor because I do things in terms of common sense. I'm standing up for what's right, which I will do is as governor And in fact, John that this governor But did not say no to the teachers Union and kept our public schools closed as long as they were in California is a disgrace and And I say that not just as a candidate for governor but is a dad. Yeah, with two kids and two kids in public schools for my daughter just graduated. She should have been in school entire last semester because there is no substitute for a great quality teacher. In the classroom room doesn't even come close. So as we saw states across the country that's safely reopen their schools and oh, by the way in California, private schools were open the whole time, right, And I think that's again a dramatic difference between Myself and Gavin Newsom, who won't stand up for doing what's right and take on the unions. I will Well appreciate your time. Very much, Mr Mayor. It's always good to chat with you, and we'll have you back again. Good luck on your bus tour and be well, sir. Thanks very much time.

Interestingly a christian smith critiqued this approach and ultimately led him out of protestantism because he thought that he thought that Pervasive interpretive pluralism.

He was talking about this kind of therapeutic approach that he himself has described so able ian and well in his work but yeah. That's that's the way i would. Isn't there also an assumption too. It's widely held. And i don't know that this is behind this question or not but you know that if it's too intellectual it can't be life changing Or if it can't be transformative And and i think that that's one of the ways that we integrate the we denigrate the human person you know that we're not just rational and we said we we're not just rational creatures true but we are rational creatures right. I mean it's not. It's not what we're not less than than than rational creatures. Certainly more than rational creatures.

But it really is just muscle memory for anybody out there wanting to learn how to play the guitar that you can. You just have to actually sit down and practice it. I mean as you know. Could you sing though because all us that. You're doing a lot of this at one time. Yes so i always loved singing along to my favorite songs. But did i think to myself. I can sing. No but When we would go on trips for baseball we'd be on the bus and stuff like that I remember in college when we'd be on trips Singing to a few different songs like acapella. My brother and i would do this on the bus. And all the guys always asked us to do this so i thought to myself i mean maybe i'm better than i think that i am So yeah your years in the plan to get our i would.

"People think of three times you do it. That's the peak comedic efficiency. Four five six k. I will say My girlfriend would love to discuss many times in this podcast in the past. She's in physical therapy school and last semester. She had to dissect a cadaver which meant that. She was studying a lot of images of like formaldehyde. Preserved dead humans and their various tissues. And every time. I hear that drop. I just think about looking over my shoulder at her computer screen and seeing. Oh nerves in hearts and brains in always gruesome stuff. Was it a man or a woman that she had to cut open explore. It was a man in on. Never forget she came home one day and said today i shaved the back fat off of a man. Oh it is in question that's disturbing like it was amazing and also the least surprising part of this time mark's mind immediately and if it is a woman do you know where i can go to get one no i just you know there some follow up questions. But that's for one of your other podcast nick. But maybe could send some questions. And i can't think of a title the Lupin dissection of cadavers. But we'll get there. I have one last one. It's the raiders in their secondary. Just because it's not necessarily much different on paper but my big question. Mark is damon are net. You know you spend a high pick on him and he was a nonfactor. Last year he dealt with injuries. But after mike mayock spent the offseason trashing their defense. And then they you know. Put some effort toward a drafted safety. The trevan rig. I just i need to see. I don't know what to expect from this group. I mean it's not necessarily that. I don't know who is projected to be starters. But i have no idea what they're gonna get Other than that. Jonathan abrams going to be in the box more than he already. Plays like a psychopath so we might as well enjoy him being around the baltimore i mean he might have been the biggest problem in the defense full of. I'm glad you brought them up. Just because i kind of forgot about casey hayward they signed casey hayward's he might be their slot guy. But i i mentioned. I probably basing this unlike too small of a sample size and everything but when i watched damon are last year i thought he looked pretty good. I know he. He did not test that well and he gave up some big plays him and trayvon mullen. Like i thought they have shown some things in young cornerbacks. It's tough man. It is tough to come into the nfl as a young cornerback. I think both of them actually have flashed a lot. Like people think they're bus. And i thought both of them have shown some things so it wouldn't shock me if those has improved. Yeah definitely like moans more than our net. But i mean mullins has a little bit more of a sample size so far so it's interesting gus bradley to put it all together. I so sure right. Good stuff and check it out.

Zombie themed preparedness activities for school age. Children do you want to know what's what's wrong with education. It's that right there okay. Here's a lesson that can be done individually. Impairs give students two to three minutes to create a list of items. They think they would need in an emergency situation. If zombies or real emergencies are headed your way. It's important to be prepared in general that's pretty good What they don't add in the you know the matches first aid kids cell phone. Batteries is no garlic. Wouldn't stake so. That was kind of phony to start with the guard via mixing vampires ness right on the you. What do you need any shot shop. Their head off. You gotta chop the head off. Which is what happened in rwanda. You gotta double tap. That's double tap works if you blow their head off. I think it's pretty good if you blow their head off with a shotgun that should work can't eat. Meanwhile the cdc is covertly removing Some entries from the various database. What oh yeah. The entries like got shot took two steps. Drop dead no Let me see. I have it here. There's gotta be a rhyme or reason to what they dropped or what they're trying to pull out. Some specific is included. There was a clue two year old. Who dialed dialed who died. After receiving the vaccine from pfizer the case was reported to the very system to be removed by the us centers for disease control a two year old two year old. That's what they're trying to get rid of the fact that they gave the shots anybody like. That could catch the two year old girl in question past almost immediately after receiving her. Second dose of pfizer's marna injection shouldn't have gotten a shot to this wrongful death right there and from what i understand. None of the trials included children. None of the trials included pregnant women or even women who wanted to get pregnant. Which is i think been verified. Yes meanwhile i'm not going to claim a redbook victory for this because it's not but there is something very interesting about this. Latest vaccine has lie. Bring it up because it's as you're interrupting me saying i'm going to play it because there is something very interesting about this. Latest vaccination hesitancy incentive. I saw the announcement for the concert. And then When you go to purchase the tickets it says that you have to show proof of vaccination which i do not have tickets cost eighteen dollars in advance or twenty dollars at the door if you have a vaccination certificate if i wanted to go to the concert without a vaccination. I would have to pay nine hundred ninety nine dollars. Ninety nine cents promoter. Paul williams came up with the idea. We're just trying to show safely. And they should go out and get vaccinated to protect themselves and their family and their community so the red book entry was. Of course you'll need a passport which is not required here but what this guy is saying is low. It's bullshit t saying we just want it to be safe. So let's crowd fund a thousand dollars for this young woman. Let's send her money so she can take using infected cells into the concert. That's not gonna keep anybody safe. According to your idea makes no logical sense and that got huge coverage. No one even brings that up. No one well. I think that anybody that tries to pull this stunt like this guy. They should nobody. Should you know creating barriers to entry to your product. Sales thing doing is dumb. It shows that you're a fool. No yes the way to do. It is not charge. Anything anyone do anything they want. Copy it listen to it for free and then say hey. Send us something. That's the way you do it former student element in some situations.

It was was volunteering. We didn't get paid in the beginning and then a lot of stuffing envelopes and sending out mailers putting stickers on stuff so it was literally just stuff that had to get done in the office. We kind of as i stuck around evolved into working a little bit more in like recruiting and operations and helping out visit visits and stuff like that so okay so you did the academic tutor thing a little bit.

Come on 'cause many people. I know to have a worse. Gpa of her college career. I me personally. I think it's due to laziness. Duda this. I very much believe that this petition v should have had at very least been addressed by the school reasons. Why a pass fail system could happen. Oh yeah. I do remember Last year i was against this. Because it would have reflected very poorly on my transcript. Which i've i've absolutely zero use for so I can think of two reasons. Why school would not wanna keep allowing this option in all fairness i understand first response is a pass fail system students who don't really wanna try an opportunity to put minimal effort into their work and not have any negative effect on ver- gpa. The second response. I think that having up multiple semesters gpa could substantially complicate transcript among other things. A possible solution to these problems is making a limit on the number of classes. That students can choose to make pass fail. Or i will. I mean that's just making the bureaucracy even more complicated. I mean like this whole thing of like well you know. We need to have a ten thousand dollars of student debt relief. I mean we're just going to be even more pissed because they're gonna want we're gonna all of it taken away Last semester was certainly a bit of a test. Run for this upcoming semester. But i think the school does not want to see another petition. Like this begin floating around. They need to make sure. Professors are putting in the effort to engage students. Which i mean that was an issue even before covid also professors not putting effort. Just not even showing up sometimes put forth better communication about certain system all my god.

I'm curious some of the things that you're using it to build for your own personal use cases would be during the. I had like lena ibra as you as you do. When studying computer science i had in the last semester and we learned all this matrix operations stuff right so at some point someone. One of my student colleagues broach me and ask me when it would be possible to make this a little more intuitive using this diagram structure from software by representing an operation on a matrix. I note that is really great idea. So i basically just took the fantasy methods from non pie and saifi and put them into notes and just a very quick process. And i just made a basic widget that is placed the matrix inside the note and i added this to all these notes so the video flow and build a chain of matrix operations and you can change something at the beginning. Everything that's dependent on that updates immediately very playful way of finding similarities between matrix operations and depending on type of matrix you can use. Are you using. You will find symmetry somewhere and this is really cool because this was also inspired by things like no threat. I also use this for smaller iot based stuff. I got this running.
