Automation & Remote Management With Foreman and Daniel Lawrence
"Let's start off though for those who weren't around or didn't listen to the podcast last time just like your one O one intro on foreman. Yeah, yeah. So foreman, we are minor management and facility management. We like to consider ourselves to be more facility management software these days. So back when we started traditional minor management rebooting, configuring machines, high level we give you a central dashboard that you can go to where you can see all the machines you have deployed in your fleet. Could even be spread across multiple sites. So kind of one page where you can see it in control at all, was just rebooting pool changing, firmware upgrading, kind of maintenance of the machines, management of the machines, and then it's expanded a lot over the last year, where now we're more facility management. So we're integrating with network switches, integrating with PD us, integrating what as an example of somebody has a cooling tower, maybe they're running the new ant space, forgot what it's called the HK three or something like that. If you have a cooling tower and it has stats on the cooling tower, we can integrate with that, bring all the flow sensors, temperature, humidity, all that stuff in. So it's really more big, big picture now. Facility management. And then the other side within the last 8 months or so, we've been working pretty hard towards curtailment features, so helping people turn their minds off when they need to be turned off and turn them on when they need to be turned on. Okay, I think a great thing to go through would be what this looks like in practicality for anyone who's sort of outside scope, because I think most people come from and I'm going to plug in my minor. And it's going to talk to a pool, and then I get payouts to my wallet. They're not necessarily thinking about it from a different perspective. That middle way, wow. That middle where a layer. So walk me through maybe like a deployment. Yeah, the easy way to think why form in if you have one minor or two minors, you probably feel pretty personally connected with them. I know we did when we were hobby mining back in 2016 or so. You have two minors, you can pretty much give each one a name, and you know how to access each one. Every minor has a web page on it, and that's how you configure it traditionally. There but they get to be hard to scale. So when you go from one or two minors to hundred or a thousand and you're trying to track things that are maybe dead, where the scanning tool is not going to pick it up anymore, you need something that's a little more robust. It has a little more state to it also. So you want something that says, I found a hundred miners at some point. Now I'm only finding 98, and these two that I know existed are now offline. So that's the piece you're missing with. Scripts and BTC tools and stuff like that.

Scott Presler Tells Us About the Wisconsin Supreme Court Race
"Us now is Scott pressler to actually connect the stories together, we're going to talk about Wisconsin and I have a feeling that our Wisconsin viewers are going to want to hear more about Aaron Rodgers than about the Supreme Court seat, but they should honestly care about this more. Scott, welcome to the program. I think it's the most important election in 2023. Talk to us about the Wisconsin Supreme Court seat. Thank you, Charlie. Well, I'm here in Wisconsin and Milwaukee. And what people need to understand is right now, the Supreme Court is for Republicans to three Democrats. But one Republican is retiring, meaning that on April 4th, if we are not successful at electing justice Daniel Kelly, the court will flip from conservative to liberal. And I want to remind our Wisconsin viewers that governor Evers, a Democrat, tried to impose a stay at home order. And it was just as Daniel Kelly that was the deciding vote that negated and nullified that stay at home order, providing for Wisconsin's schools to open businesses to open churches to open. So everything is on the line with this election. If you believe in gun rights and hunting rights and school choice and voter ID and proof of residency in all comes down to the all important election on April 4th for justice Daniel Kelly.

James Lawrence and Charlie Discuss the Case of Douglas Mackey
"Doing an event in Chicago and a young man came up and he buttered me up. He knew what radio station I was on, but he was a troll. And he said, quote, Charlie, that's why when the midterm elections came, I told all my Friends and family, there's only one way to stop the woke Democrat mafia, and that is to boycott these elections because they're never going to hear us if we don't really stop participating. It's a farce. It's a farce. Why should we participate? You said it yourself. Why should we participate? Now, I challenge him said, no, no, no, but he's a troll. He was a left wing activist, telling people not to vote, telling people he was trying to suppress the vote. I mean, the government is setting a precedent here that this young man should serve a decade in jail. And that's why we can't open this Pandora's box. That's why that's why it's so important that mister Mackey prevails in this case and that the door is slammed shut to this kind of prosecution because it will have a chilling effect on speech and it's just not where we should be going as a country. So again, I'd ask your audience to go on to meme defense fund dot com. So just spell it. Defense fund dot com. And I'd also like to encourage your audience at the same time. Romans 8 28 says all things work together for good for those who are called according to his purpose. And regardless of what the outcome is here in this case, ultimately we know who the author of history is and whatever the designs of the powers that be are, it's in God's hands, ultimately what happens in this case. And he will be glorified by the outcome of this. Regardless of which way it gets. Amen. But our prayer is that mister Mackie would be acquitted.

The Most Important Court Case of 2023 With James Lawrence
"Now is James Lawrence, who's an attorney for the Mackey legal defense fund. You may or may not remember, we talked about this a couple of weeks ago, and now it's going to trial. It's actually went through jury selection. I would go into trial. Of the case of Douglas Mackey. Where they're trying to put a young man in prison who made Internet memes and jokes about the Hillary Clinton campaign in 2016, and they're trying to lock him up and throw the key away. James joins us now. James welcome back to the program. Charlie, thanks so much for having me again. Good to be with you. So James, give us the update. What is the status of the trial or the jury selection, fill us in? Yeah, so I believe we're in day three of jury selection and mister Mackey's case. But since we last talked, there are two developments that I would like to make your audience aware of with respect to the case. The first involved the government's plan to introduce evidence from a confidential witness and to just give your audience context around that request. The Sixth Amendment guarantees the rights of Americans to be able to confront their accusers and open the court. It's something that goes to the core of the constitution as a native of Raleigh, north Carolina. I can tell you this is something that sir Walter Raleigh was complaining about from his prison cell and the Tower of London in the 1600s. I mean, this is how bad rock this is to our country. And in this particular case, the government plans to introduce testimony from a confidential witness whose name will be withheld from the public and the court has not only granted the government's request to keep that person anonymous, but also to prevent mister Mackey's trial team from engaging in a fullsome cross examination of the witness with respect to that individual's connections with the Federal Bureau of Investigation through the briefing, mister Mackey's defense team has learned that the confidential witness has a relationship with the FBI and back has pled guilty to the very same offense that mister Mackey is accused of and is continuing to work with the government, but

No. 3 Kansas tops Texas Tech to clinch Big 12 title share
"Kansas freshman Grady dick sealed the win on a pair of free throws with three seconds left in the game. Texas tech trailed by 9 at halftime and stayed close in the second half, but the red raiders were never able to grab a second half lead. Jalen Wilson led KU and scoring with 21 points. To be the champion and to finish on top like that, it means a lot and shows all the hard work and the grid of this team. So it meant so much to me. He's a junior, but will graduate in May and is not expected to return. It's the 64th regular season conference title four KU tops and the NCAA. Greg iklin, Lawrence Kansas.

"The 9th ranked Kansas Jayhawks upset the 5th ranked Texas longhorns 88 to 80. After Texas battled to tie it early in the second half, Kansas fought back to a 13 point lead, padded by freshmen Grady dick, who led the jayhawks with 21 points.

Has the Government Shown Any Remorse to Mark Houck?
"Life centers were firebombed across the country. They tried to kill Brett Kavanaugh, the leaker was never found, but their focus was on Mark hauk and Mark, what did you do? You were praying outside of a clinic and some paid agitator probably tried to come up to your kid. I mean, did the government show any remorse or hesitation throughout this entire prosecutorial process? This is the federal government of the United States. Yes. Well, the gentleman that you allude to, he's been there a volunteer for 20 years. So, you know, that kind of puts that to Rhett to rest. But the government and how they handled this and how they treated me is interesting and something will hopefully take before Congress. When they came to my house that day again, if you know anything about a federal age and coming to your home to serve a warrant or to arrest somebody, usually it's one or two people. Now the FBI does their homework and they do a tremendous research over who they're going to go out and bring this paperwork to. On that particular day, I had over 20 plus agents and PA state troopers that were at my house with long guns and full S.W.A.T. gear. I'm surprised someone didn't get shot that day. I'm surprised one of my children weren't shot. We do have some airsoft guns in the house. But if one of my children thought this was interesting, a little 5 year old or a four year old, they would have been shot. So it was extremely reckless. Once I was put in custody, I was not told that I would be returning to my family. I wasn't told anything. Again, they said they were going to take me with or without a warrant. They did have a warrant, but that's how they communicated to my wife. As my children were screaming and they took me away, they wouldn't allow me to get a pair of pants to get a sweatshirt on a cold day. To put socks on, wouldn't allow me to brush my teeth. Well, let me put angor in on it was 6 45 in the morning.

Mark Houck Joins Charlie to Discuss His Recent Trial
"Recently had your trial. It seems as if this was a very quick timeline between the raid and the trial and so was there a reason for that? That's a good question. I think, you know, you look some of these things up. Whenever there's a minor involved in a trial like this, they try to expedite it so that the child isn't further traumatized. No one communicated to me that that was the reason we were just first up, couldn't believe it was four months after the yeah, it's super quick. Yeah, yeah, it was quick. You look at David the lightest case and he's still in court and waiting his trial for many things and it's been years. So you just recently had your trial and they were, this is the federal government, right? So there was a fair to say there was a federal prosecutor that was arguing to try to put you in jail. What law were they alleging that you broke? So I was charged with allegedly violating the face act, which is in 1994, federal law that was enacted sponsored by the late center Ted Kennedy and Chuck Schumer. And basically it was designed in the 1990s to deal with pro lifers who were performing public sit ins and civil disobedience called the rescue movement. And they effectively did that under Bill Clinton's administration. It has been resurrected to come after pro lifers, basically they act stands for federal access to clinic entrances and it protects those acronyms. It protects those that are coming into in and out of an abortion facility or even protects those trying to get into a pregnancy resource center, believe it or not. In this case, it's being applied widely to against pro lifers and not being adequately or equally applied to the violations against people with intent to go to pregnancy resource centers or violence against pregnancy resource centers. But in this case, it was applied to me. They had two counts with three to four elements under each and basically it was a violation of the phase act with that held up to 11 years in prison and $350,000 in fine.

Pro-Lifer Mark Houck Committed No Crime
"I was fired up a couple months ago when the Biden department adjusted this decided to deploy a S.W.A.T. team to go after a pro life leader and that same DoJ told us they can't find the Supreme Court leaker, sorry, just not interested. Almost nobody arrested for my knowledge on federal hate crime charges for the firebombing or the arson of pro life clinics, but what they focused their attention on was going after a pro life dad who's a pro life activist, storming the home and trying to do a show trial to say that if you support pro life ideas, if you are a pro life activist, we are going to show the world that we're going to make you suffer. Well, Mark hauk was rated by the FBI indicted by the Department of Justice and has now been acquitted a federal jury rejected the government's intimidation against pro life people and Mark hawk joins us now. Mark, welcome to the program. Greetings, Charlie. Thanks for having me. Mark, tell us your story first, the situation that's in question, and then walk us through the day the FBI arrived. Sure. So all glory be to God for this opportunity and it all began on October 13th, 2021. Which was the day that my son and I and my 12 year old son at the time were coming into the city of Philadelphia for our normal prayer vigil, our weekly prayer vigil. We've been doing it for myself 20 years and my son for the last two years with me. And on this particular day, the fall afternoon after about 45 minutes of praying there was an altercation between myself and a Planned Parenthood escort. And that ensued to be, I guess, more problems with this man because that initial altercation where he was interfering with my First Amendment rights to give literature out to abortion minded men and women who come and go from the facility. Led him to further harass me and my son.

No. 8 Kansas avenges earlier loss to No. 7 K-State, 90-78
"With an idea to 78 win over 7th ranked Kansas state the 8th ranked Kansas Jayhawks have won 17 straight over the wildcats in games played at Allen fieldhouse. Junior forward, jaylen Wilson scored 20 points to lead KU. I think that's kind of the key to toss success, you know, is starting off fast, you know, not having to play catch up throughout the entire game. And you know, I feel like when we control the game at our own pace, as far as the first half works, we're going to be in pretty good shape throughout the game. Wilson tallied 38 a career high in the January 17th game at K state, but it wasn't enough in the lost to the wildcats. After this contest, both teams have overall records of 18 and four.

"NFL roundup Saturday preview. I'm Dave ferry. Fresh off a biweek, the eagles and chiefs are back on the field Saturday and her favorites to advance to the conference championship games. Philadelphia hosts the Giants of Kansas City entertains the Jaguars. The week off gave eagles quarterback Jalen hurts extra time to rest his spring right shoulder. He missed two games, but was back under center when the eagles beat the Giants 22 16 in week 18. Hertz has respect for the Giants defense. Regardless of what they've done, you know, I think they've done it well. What are they playing man coverage? They do that well, whatever the plan is on coverage, they play that well. So I think for us, it's just on us executing versus them. Hurts was healthy when the eagles handed the Giants their worst loss of the season, 48, 22 and week 14. And now the two teams meet for the third time in 7 weeks, eagles wide receiver AJ Brown says he doesn't see that as an advantage for either team. It doesn't matter how many times you play it. Come down to it. This opportunity and shouldn't be worried about what you did in the past or it doesn't help it doesn't hurt. You got to execute and that's what we find. The Giants were riding high at 7 and two before a two 5 and one finish dropped them to the 6th seed, but New York advanced in the wildcard as Daniel Jones threw for 301 yards and ran for 78 yards in the 31 24 downing of the Vikings. But he faces another challenge playing in front of the hostile eagle fans. It's a divisional game. I think that brings some intensity to it and yeah, I mean, they're known for having a good crowd that supports their team and yeah, so we're prepared for it. We've played there. Coach Brian debal says Jones has grown in his four NFL seasons, although this is their first year together. Dave ball sees Jones as a calming influence who is far removed from the player who went 12 and 25 in his first three years. Players looked to him because he is that consistent voice consistent message and consistent player, how he practices, I think, consistent is probably the best word to use. On paper, the chief's Jaguars game appears to be a potential mismatch, and Jags coach Doug Peterson knows their margin for error is small. For us, it's just a matter of just staying disciplined and trusting what we're doing. And just understand your role within your game plan, right? And just execute each play one at a time. Peterson was a backup quarterback when Reid was head coach of the eagles. And he also was a member of Reid's coaching staff. Reed has been impressed by Jacksonville's improvement this season. They've improved every week, and they have bought it. Doug's done a great job as his coaches have. It takes everybody. So, but he's a nice job with her. A 27, 17 loss in Kansas City left the Jaguars three and 7, but Jacksonville won 6 of its last 7 to win the AFC south, then turned to 27, nothing deficit into a 31 30 win over the Chargers in the wild card round. They advanced to the divisional round despite four first half interceptions by Trevor Lawrence, who also threw for four touchdowns and leading the comeback. I think we scored every drive in the second half, didn't pun again. So, I mean, that's huge, obviously, gives us confidence, and you don't want to do that, but to be able to win a game like that is really, really special. Lawrence has put up good numbers, throwing for 4113 yards and 25 touchdowns. But chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes put up historic numbers, racking up 5250 passing yards and 41 touchdowns for the NFL's number one scoring offense. But the playoffs are an elevated brand of football, according to mahomes. I think you build up for this all season long. The regular season you take it week by week, but you want to be here in the playoffs and you know you're going to play the best football teams in the league and that's what you want to do as a competitor. And so I'm excited to get to go up against a great football team at arrowhead. That's always a good time. As of Friday afternoon, DraftKings had the chiefs at 9 point favorite while the eagles were giving 7 and a half points. Sunday's games have the bills hosting the Bengals before the cowboys visit the forty-niners. I'm Dave ferry, AP sports.

"NFL playoffs roundup. I'm Dave fairy. In his first postseason performance, Trevor Lawrence giveth, any taketh away. Denny cap has details. The Jack wires rally from 27 down to edge the Chargers 31 to 30, rightly Patterson's 36 yard field goal as time expired count the third largest comeback in NFL postseason history. Jaguar's quarterback Trevor Lawrence overcame the worst half of his career to win and his playoff debut. I didn't play my best tonight, so I'm gonna watch the table. There's gonna be so much to learn from. But honestly, I mean, you couldn't write a better script than to win a game like that. Lawrence threw four first half interceptions, three to asante Samuel junior to help the Chargers score the first 27 points of the game. He went on to throw four touchdowns, including three in the second half. Chargers head coach Brandon staley says their second half execution was poor. Anytime you're up 27 to 7 and a half time and you've got four takeaways and you end up winning the takeaway margin four nothing. It's going to be it's going to be a killer. I'm hurting for everybody in that locker room. It's a special group of guys and this is the toughest way that you can lose. The forty-niners open their postseason schedule by claiming their 11th consecutive victory. Ryan Leung was there. The forty-niners outscored Seattle 25 to 6 in the second half to beat the Seahawks 41 to 23. In his playoff debut, Brock purdy was 18 of 30 for 332 yards and three touchdowns. Having 6 games under my belt in terms of just playing in an NFL game and trying to win for four quarters, you know, has helped me get to this point and all the guys in the locker room got my back. They've all grown together. So we're ready for what's ahead. Christian McCaffrey had a 119 yards rushing, and deebo Samuel had 6 catches for a 133 yards. You know Smith was 25 of 35 for 253 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. McCaffrey says pretty showed a lot of poise for a guy who was taken last overall in the 2022 draft. He's extremely confident and he's exactly what you would want in a quarterback. No moment is too big for him and he makes corrections quickly and we saw that today and he's able to go out there and play with some juice and hit the right guys and let everybody else do their jobs. Sunday's games have the bills hosting the dolphins. The Vikings entertaining the Giants and the ravens visiting the Bengals. The dolphins with the last team to grab an AFC playoff birth. And buffalo finished with the second best winning percentage in the conference, but bill's coach Sean McDermott says his team better be ready. That's a good football team. That we've split with this year and we have a lot of respect for them in terms of what they've done and what they've accomplished this season. So we've got to get ourselves ready to go. The dolphins handed the bills their first loss of the season during week three. Buffalo was a 32 29 winner over Miami at Orchard park on December 17th. The Vikings of the number three seed in the NFC, three spots ahead of the Giants, but New York is one of the sexy pics to pull off an upset. Minnesota head coach Kevin O'Connell says he has respect for giants coach Brian dabel and defensive coordinator wink martingale. I've talked a lot about not only their head coach, but wink and his staff, they do a phenomenal job, their challenge to prepare for and our guys got to be ready to go and ready to go play fast against a really talented defense. The Vikings earned a 27 24 home win over the Giants on Christmas Eve. Like the bills and Vikings, the Bengals are well familiar with their road opponent. Cincinnati beat the ravens 27 16 a week ago, but Baltimore came away with the last second win over the Bengals on October 9th. Joe burrow hopes their AFC title run last season will benefit them this month. I think it's natural to call back on experiences that you've had in similar situations. So I think I'd be lying if I said I wasn't, but like I said, it's a new year new team, new opponents, and so we know what it takes. That's all last year did for us. The first round ends with the Buccaneers hosting the cowboys on Monday night. I'm Dave ferry, AP sports.

"And what that looks like for me is I feel like I owe so much to my ancestors, mostly black ancestors, very directly in my lineage and let's say my cousins, you know, the folks around me who sacrificed a lot to get me here to where I am right now. And I want to contribute to that chain of progress of making it easier for black and brown folks younger than me who follow me, making it easier for them to have the opportunities to create wide scale change. And showing them that it's possible showing them that you don't have to conform to someone else's trajectory to do that. You have the freedom to do it the way that is right for you. Basically widening what is possible for people to be conventionally successful and what that actually means. And hopefully, never sacrificing, I won't say hopefully, hopefully this is conveyed through my actions. Threading that needle between doing what's right for the business and what is just societally responsible, just to wrap things up here, where can our audience find out more information about you about pearl about your work and everything, where can they find that online?

"I mean, it's a namesake. It's a household name. I mean, that's the obvious one. I just feel like there's a lot of impact I haven't yet made that is just ripe for the taking. I have also, I mean, on a side note, this could be a subject of a whole other thing. I have gotten really obsessed with writing comedy and that is basically filming a show that is a whole other thing. We don't have to get into it here, but no, let's go. Let's get into it. I mean, just like writing a show or a movie or shorts and filming it specifically like some sort of like a comedy, maybe Atlanta meets Nathan for you or something like that like that, you know, I love stuff like that, but honestly I have no shortage of projects, but that's been one of the ones that I haven't been able to shake. I mean, the comedy writing sounds, I like that idea. I mean, I mean, would it be something like, I don't know, for some reason, when you said that Abbott elementary immediately came to mind, but would it be some kind of like workplace comedy, something like that? I'm honestly scared. I have a show that, I mean, I might actually film and every time I've stopped it to like a dozen or so people. And they're like, dude, why aren't you making this? I'm honestly scared to give away my game right now. But I have a show that let's say is the style of the show will be more like mockumentary, let's say. So it wouldn't be necessarily workplace. But I have maybe the whole first season stubbed out. Definitely, I've talked about it with a friend just shooting the pilot because I even think I have the pilot mostly stubbed out. It's just a matter of doing it. I don't know. I've always wanted to try my hand at it. No, no, no, I get it. You don't want someone listening to like poacher idea. I totally get that. I feel like I could be over hyping it. I could be delusional, but this is such a good idea. Maybe someone's already done it.

"I mean, right now, I'm leading the org. I'm the first full-time hire, let's say, you know, I jump full time. But I have to manage my own morale, my own boundaries, my own timeline, my own organization, and that predicts how well I can manage all of those other things for a team of people or one other person and let's say if I don't take the 5 minutes before the call to get my talking points right. It tends to not go well when I bring in whomever I want to bring in. So like everything just starts with me and obviously I can only control me, but I'm just front and center every single day for how my own actions manifest in shape the outcomes, who are some of the people that have kind of really helped you get to this point in your career. I mean, no person is an island, of course, but I'm curious, who your support system has been throughout all this. It is kind of chapter dependent like early career, like the people that got me at IBM, Adam cutler, Greg story, Phil Gilbert, a huge Devin O'Brien. I mean, really either they got me to go in the IBM or just really hands on mentorship far more than they needed to be for an intern at the time. Huge people, then just naming names like Brad Neil, one of my cofounders of tech can do better. I mean, honestly, a big brother, if there is one, he is just such a role model and composure and equanimity, and he and I chat pretty regularly and I always love his perspective. Moses Harris, Jill solely, one of my advisers, seress, Fallon, Wayne, who's written so like my advisers now. I mean, by and large, I need perspective, and I don't do well just working by myself. So even if I'm not day to today working with someone, I'm always bouncing ideas off of people.

"You were there for almost 6 years starting off as an intern and then kind of working your way up to becoming a strategist. When you look back at that time, what do you remember? Are there any sort of specific takeaways? Yeah, so it can kind of be broken down into a couple chapters. So there was my early career internship, you know, then we went through another onboarding. Let's say, experience, they call them boot camps. That's the one phase, where it's like starry eyed, early career Lawrence, the world is my oyster. The same traps that all of these early 20 somethings succumb to, you know? And then I was on a team for around three years. It was basically IBM designed for AI, which is the intersection of design AI and basically consulting and facilitation. But in essence, we're creating technical. So how can non technical teams get started with AI and create compelling honest in the sense that this is what the technology can actually do, implementation with AI. And amazing experience. And maybe one of the best ways that I could have started my career on that team in terms of the work that I was doing. And my boss at the time, extremely encouraging and just gave me a long leash. So there was that chapter. And the next chapter was my tenure on the transformation team, which worked on enterprise wide transformation efforts, predominantly in hybrid cloud AI and culture. So the net of it was I was doing a lot more consultative work even on my AI team. The IBM design for AI and that was when I realized that I just loved sitting in the middle and working in cross disciplinary teams, multidisciplinary teams, having high visibility projects working with a lot of different stakeholders with big personalities. Basically translating the technical needs into layman speak into the needs of the business and the kind of glib and story that I tell about it is I started in engineering and then realized that designers tell engineers what to do. Went into design and then designers get told what to do by like PMs and the business people. So I went into that lane. So I don't know what you can make of that story, but that was kind of how I decided to hop through those roles. From designer to engineer, I feel like that's a journey of love itself. Yeah. And even now, I feel like both are pretty misunderstood titles. I would say design a little more so than engineering, but a lot of times people think, oh, shapes, colors, make things pop, you know, as a designer, which I am not that kind of designer. It was I mentioned my first boss and I just think that that was a great place for me to start because he built my I mean, both he was a design executive. So he practically sharpened my skills as a designer, but really just gave me the confidence to go into rooms with very senior people. And feel like my perspective had a place there. So when I think about leadership and I'm really passionate about leadership, there was a lot to be learned from the myriad of actual leaders like reporting chain leaders and just some of my mentors and peers. Everyone was just so generous with their perspective. There's a lot to learn and how to lead teams. And now when you started the organization tech can do better, where you still at IBM or is this after you left? It was at IBM. So

And they had one that was like black in America for that focused on the rise of black folks trying to get into Silicon Valley. They called it the new promised land. And if you build it, they will come mentality. Yeah, yeah. And it was so interesting because I was watching that and not only were these people out there that were like my age, like Angela Benton and Wayne Sutton, et cetera. But I personally knew these people. I had met them. I had sat down and had dinner with them. And it's like, now they're trying to accomplish these big, huge monumental goals now. It's really hard to kind of capture that feeling or to recapture that feeling, I think, now maybe. But certainly back then, it could have been very easy to really get swept up in the feeling that you could do this too, because you also just saw people that looked like you that were doing it. And the tools were available. The opportunity was there. It was just a perfect storm. Yeah, and I feel I'm very much subscribed to that last point here on you can't be what you can't see, right? And you know, I think, especially when I was getting started, I kind of always consider myself a little out of the loop, but I struggled to find just role models that really fit tightly to my trajectory, let's say. I've always been a little too counterculture for my own good. So it's never been sufficient for me to just necessarily cut and paste someone else's trajectory. But even still, like, okay, I want to find someone who is threading the needle between being conventionally successful in business and obviously meeting the needs of the business. While also taking this social responsibility lens, who is also a young black leader who also, it's all of these Venn diagrams that I've just struggled to find. And which is why I try to be and I definitely jump with the opportunity to be something of a role model if I can't through mentorship through podcasts like these, just to be the person that I wish I had, you know, now you mentioned going to college, you went to the University of Illinois, urbana Champaign. What was your time like there?

"Like that one and Inception. I watched those movies over and over again playing. While I was doing my homework. I think it's interesting that you mentioned that media was also kind of a thing that motivated you about this because when I think about a lot of the media that's sort of depicted tech during that time, I can go back probably as far as say like 99 with the matrix and then matrix revolutions or others are huge. Even then that was one of the movies I was watching a ton at the time. But also like the World Wide Web really started to, I don't want to say mature during that time, but I mean, I graduated college in O three and I just remember that time from like, oh three to 2010 how there were new innovations in tech and design like it felt like every week there was something new. So progress was being made in such a quick pace that whether you were sort of in it as an actual practitioner or even on the outside of it being sort of the beneficiary of this technology, things were just moving at such a rapid pace. I mean, you think about print magazines like print magazines from 2000 to 2010 took such a sharp decline because of the rise of desktop publishing and people could write blogs. They could make websites. They could use content management systems. So why would they have a print magazine? And I feel like the people and obviously I was, I mean, I won't say obviously, but I was pretty young at the time and I feel like there were beneficiaries of people who just got to create and go very hands on. And they wrote that wave of let's say digital literacy and just that scrappy entrepreneurship and the wild west of the World Wide Web. That was about. But you know, there are people that have made a lot of money and influence and clout and learned a ton and that compounds, right? And I still think that there is a lot of opportunity in tech, which is why I'm so passionate about scaling my knowledge and especially for black and brown people underserved people underrepresented folks of raising our technical literacy because any sort of privilege and it all compounds. So yeah, I just think that that was always so cool and I keep going back to magic like matrix was literally just people defying physics and cracking the code. And social network just felt larger than life of how this kind of like gawky these gawky kids created this social network that literally changed the world of tech and connected everyone everywhere all at once. Yeah. It was crazy. And you know, I think that that's something that really passionate about is just feeling that knowledge, like I said, because it's magic. And it's making a lot of people a lot of money. And changing the landscape and ways that are for better and worse for some people. Yeah, and I think what it also did is it, you know, I would say not just for black and brown people, but if we look at black and brown folks specifically, also really kind of help change the mindset of us from being consumers to creators. Because now the tools, whether it's the personal computer or whether it's even just learning the languages themselves, had become so easy to access, that you could do these things now that you were seeing other folks do and there weren't any sort of real gatekeepers to get a lot of these things done. I'm thinking back, you mentioned 2010, CNN had this, they used to do this series on CNN called black in America.

"So if I can do that, that's a huge win. Now, we've talked a lot about your work. Of course, we've learned more about pearl, but I want to learn more about you about Lawrence. Tell me about where you grew up. Yeah, so I grew up in Nashville, Tennessee, and it's funny because I'm living in like two of the trendiest places in the U.S. right now, but back when I was growing up in Nashville, I was both under aged and it was underdeveloped. So I didn't really experience the cool Nashville that a lot of people experienced today. But I moved around a lot growing up landed in Nashville third grade and was there through graduation. And I was pretty into stem, but didn't really know, and I think that this is a through line of my story. I didn't really know what I wanted to do for a long time. I had a vague idea of, I wanted to create something that impacts a lot of people. And at the time, it was like the scientist of the time like Nikola Tesla and Leonardo da Vinci's and Newton and all these people that create things that change the world. And then as I went through high school, I had a vague idea of what computer science was because I watched the social network all the time.

"Is, it makes me feel like I can confidently chart the course and bring other people. And luckily, I've had great advisers and because it's, I don't have a team of 100. I don't really have to justify my decisions to many people, but sometimes it's just like the day to day like I have no clue if this is gonna work and I just try something and if it doesn't work and I mean no one likes failing but I'm getting used to things not going according to plan more so than they do go according to plan. The self management, I don't know if that's the right way to say it, but just that like keeping my own, keeping the wind in my own sales. Yeah. I'll probably think of a more eloquent way to say it. But like to keep the like to keep that motivation going essentially, right? Yeah. And just like, it is the age old. All right, I tried 6 things, none of them would according to plan. And you know, you have that day, you get off a call where it's like, that did not go like I wanted it to go. And at the same time tomorrow, I'm going to get up and do it all over again. You got to keep pushing through. But yeah, that motivation is huge. Yeah. I don't know as you were describing that as sort of reminded me of that old Donald rumsfeld quote about how there's no knowns. And there's unknown unknowns. And it sounds like certainly I think with venturing into a startup of something like this where you're trying to, you don't know what you don't know. So even as you're trying to build this product and build this company, there are other things down the line that you may encounter that you don't really have an idea of, but that's why you've got advisers to hopefully kind of help you out and to give you that foresight.

Being so early, and maybe I'm sure it changes at some point, but every day looks really different. And to the extent that I have any sort of consistency in my routine, it's more location based. You know, I love going to coffee shop. So I'll go in the a.m. to the coffee shop to do my heads down, you know, deep thinking work, where I will do everything from craft, social media, marketing, outreach, to working on the product itself, to planning out what features need to be added prioritizing from feedback that I heard in user interviews, what releases need to happen and when. And then in the afternoon, usually I have my calls either with my team with potential customer discovery interviews with my advisers, and that's usually when I do my more, let's say, not heads down work. But by and large, the shape of each day from the outside might look similar, but what I'm doing is very different day to day. I mean, I can't say I take many podcast calls right now. So. Quite the variety that I'm getting right now. Well, you got to get the word out about what you're doing, you know? So you have to do a little bit of a press here and there. No, I a 100% agree. And I had a release last Monday where I opened up pearl to close family friends. I mean, the social media, you know, the people within my first, second degree connections.

"I see these both working together in this very pernicious cycle of, you know, we continue to reinvent the wheel. We're slower in terms of delivering outcomes. We deliver worse outcomes. People feel like worse leaders, because they're not getting connected to the work that by most in most cases already exist from the leaders that have done it. So that's the opportunity that I see with pearl. And we're starting with a problem that all leaders have or will face hiring. So, you know, this is where we're the first step of our journey and proving out our value prop. So without getting into the origin story, that's what pearl is here to solve. No, get into the origin story. What are the ideas sort of come from? Yeah, so for that, it starts two years ago and the name of that org was tech can do better. And the week after George Floyd was murdered, I was still working at IBM and I noticed how my company at the time and the tech industry and not just the tech industry, but that's just where I live and breathe. They threw their hands up and they were bemused about what could be done to drive racial equity in what ways are we perpetuating it? How could this happen? And I got really frustrated at the confusion and how frantic the industry was, knowing that I've been in the inside with some of my coworkers predominantly other black tech employees advocating for what racial equity looked like within our company and it felt like at the time we just got pats on the head and tech can do better was my response to basically remove any obstacle that a tech company could have, I don't know what to do where to go. And I co authored essentially a white paper with other black and brown folks from across the industry to outline very actionable steps about how to drive racial equity, whether you were an executive, middle manager, independent contributor anywhere in between. This is how you can get started with racial equity. And I think we hosted a dozen community calls, had people representing 50 companies from across the industry to help get each other unstuck. And that was when I realized that there was a demand and let's say an overlooked opportunity and unsolved pain point for having very actionable perspective from black and brown perspectives. But even more broadly, it just exposed a lot of collaboration, hiccups. And we weren't making it easy to get the answers we need. So it started there. And the other half of the story, I've been a leader with pearl for almost two years, or a little over two years now. And I find myself reinventing the wheel every day. I mean, hiring is just one of them. And I wrote the white paper for what diverse hiring looks like, and I assembled all of these diverse hiring sources. And I still have trouble doing it.

All right, so tell us who you are and what you do. Hi, yeah, so I'm Lauren Humphrey. I'm founder CEO of pearl. And as a very new startup, very stereotypically, I do everything from setting the strategy, building the team, to execute against the strategy, executing it against myself to take it out the trash and cleaning up the floor, so to speak. So very much the stereotypical startup journey right now. But yeah, I do it all. It's been really exciting. As a nosy person, I love being able to stick my nose and everything. How has 2022 been going so far? I feel like the second half of this year has been plagued by news about tech layoffs and things like that. Have you been holding up? Yeah, you know, this has been a very, let's say uncomfortable year, but obviously there are the greater, as you mentioned societal forces, making people uncomfortable, the job uncertainty. I am one of the people that quit my job this year to go full-time with pearl. So my discomfort is more from discomfort and excitement for having taken that leap. And I mean, this is my first rodeo, so to speak. So I'm excited. And you know, and I don't have kids, but I have so much optimism for this kid. And I want to make sure our raise them in order to be I want it to be successful. So that's been a super fulfilling journey. And definitely a venture into uncharted territory for me.

We want an update on the food aid, which apparently some 100 trucks of it has reached the capital to Kelly. It's been a pretty tortuous way to get there, according to the U. N as well. There are millions of people in need of humanitarian assistance in Tigre. Let's speak now to the World Food Programme's regional spokesperson, Gordon Vice Gordon, first off We've we've been following the story on and off. They have been convoys which have been obstructed. There have been convoys that pretty awfully have been shelled as well. Not clear. By whom. What were these trucks and how much has got through This was 100 trucks that got through on Sunday. Um it managed to cross the conflict lines and get into Tigray Province, where it it reached our warehouses in in MMA Kelly. Carrying food aid like predominantly food aid about 90% of it, plus other humanitarian items, Right how big is the need? Just remind us would you where this is going, And if it's a drop in the ocean? How much of a difference is it going to make? Well, it's going to make something of a difference. It's about a week's worth of supplies. But of course, it's not just about Tigre. Now The conflict is spreading, and it's spread to the neighboring provinces of Amhara, and a far so just over the past. Sort of six weeks. We've added another 1.7 million people that we've managed to identify on on top of the caseload that we already had into grave about 5.2 million people. How long does it take to because obviously the practicalities of distribution. Okay, you've got to the capital Mackell. A A lot of the need is out in the country. What are the possibilities of that aid actually getting out there to people in rural areas rather than in large cities. Well, it's a very murky picture, as you can imagine, because this is a This is a raging conflict, but we think that we can get a doubt too many people, But it's only a week's worth of of of age. We need about 100 trucks going into Two grey every day to to stay on top of the about the enveloping crisis, but but now we have Amhara and a far as well, so it's a highly complex operation being carried out across lines of conflict. And you know if there's one thing that we know about the Horn of Africa, food disasters like famines happen slowly. And then they happen all at once. And that's why prepositioning stocks is so important In these conditions. You mentioned the line of conflict. They aren't always that clear, and I know that a lot of aid delivery has suffered appalling. Attacks and so on. How long did this convoy take to get through? I'm just trying to get an impression from you about whether this could be a way through that has been smoothed. Having done it once you're going to happen, it's going to happen again. Or was it a struggle to get it through? No Getting getting getting two convoys through has been difficult all along. I mean, the government of Ethiopia is very nervous about sending supplies into an area which is controlled by by enemy to grain forces. Um, but, you know, so it's it's a complicated negotiation. And as I said, You know, we've got one convoy through. That's the first convoy have got through since August. The 22nd. There are many more that we need. We need 100 trucks going Justin to degrade every day every every day to stay on top of the operation. And then we have the additional provinces of Amhara and a far so the conflict is spreading. It's becoming more complicated. Front lines are shifting all the time. That means our operations and our operational planning changes almost every day. And presumably, it means that you can speak to people at the top. That doesn't mean that those opinions are necessarily shared or reflected at ground level. I mean, how much longer than what you'd expected it take to get through. Is it negotiation at every point Going through these as you say, the shifting lines of conflict. Yeah, well, I mean, there are obviously different views inside the government of Ethiopia. And then there are their state level. Um, complications and then and then it goes down to the village level. Um, and there has been a very ugly perception that the UN has has been biased in its delivery of food. This, of course, is not true. We operate on principles of neutrality. But we have to deal with those with those perceptions as well. And that often translates into things like attacks on our truck. Of course, I mean, the You know you are neutral, but the perception means that your work is used by both sides or all sides to their own. Advantage, frankly, isn't it? Well, absolutely. I mean, that's that's why we are so persistent in asserting our neutrality and the neutrality of aid and the neutrality of reaching people who are caught up in the conflict. We are not engaged in the conflict. Important point to make Thank you for coming on the line.

Wouldn't you think when they pulled. Nc state the field that every scc football team would have gone from fifty percent to one hundred percent. They didn't have that because the people that are not getting vaccinated. That's not moving the needle for they don't see it that way. They don't say that way.
