What a Weird Week
A highlight from What a Weird Week: That's a Big Ol' Ball of Cheese! Fri Sept 8 2023
"That's a big old ball of cheese. This is the What a Weird Week show for Friday, September 8th, 2023. Hi, everybody, it's weird. This is like crazy news here. Really weird, weird tale. Well, I got a great show for you today. What's so wonderful? Weird stuff! Hi, friends. I'm Scott. This is What a Weird Week, a show about weird stuff from this week's news. If you want links, audio, video, photos, warm thoughts. Just remember show notes dot page. You can find it all if you get to show notes dot page 10. Here we go. Season four, episode 50, first published on Friday, September the 8th, 2023. Kicking our weird news of the week off at number 10 is Venice, Italy, to start charging a cover, a cover charge of five euros for tourists who want to enjoy a day trip to Venice. This is only on select days to start. Seems like they're just trying it out. People who live in Venice are often outnumbered by tourists. And that can be a drag when you're just trying to get across town to your dentist appointment. And somebody is like, will you take my picture by this boat? Look, everybody, I'm Marco Polo. I imagine that plays out on a daily basis in Venice, but I'm not sure. Will a five dollar cover charge stop over tourism? I highly doubt it. If you've paid the money to go to Venice and then they're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, you can't come in, it's going to be five bucks. I mean, I do have an uncle who would be like, five dollars. I'll wait in the car. But most everybody else, you're going to pay the five bucks. But will a five dollar cover charge make a ton of money for the people of Venice? No, no, it will not, because they have to pay to administer this program. Can't even get a cup of coffee in Venice, probably for five bucks. Right. Less than a cup of coffee. Do you think maybe they're testing this out and someday you'll show up with your five bucks to get into Venice and they'll be like, oh, no, we've raised the price. It's five dollars twenty. Or heaven forbid, five ninety nine. Seems like this is a story to watch nine. Our number nine story is the man and lady suspected of busting a hole through the Great Wall of China because wanted to make a shortcut. A 38 year old man and a 55 year old woman who were working nearby have been detained while the investigation continues. They're suspected of using an excavator to bust through the Great Wall to create a shortcut for their construction work. I take a complicated view on this because I mean, yes, it's an ancient wonder to the world. That is an ancient wonder. The Great Wall of China. But if you've got to go all the way around every time you forget something in the truck or somebody is like, oh, Bob's here to sign those papers. Oh, Bob, the papers are in the truck. I got to go all the way around, Bob. Bernice, cover for me. I'll be back in six hours. You know, if it's that kind of scenario, I could see the temptation. The excavator is sitting there and you're like, punch a quick hole through here and I'm back at the parking lot. I'll be back in a jiff. Not saying it was, you know, the right thing to do to the ancient wonder. Anyway, story is continuing, investigation continues, so we'll find out. I guess maybe they don't have surveillance cameras all along the Great Wall of China, so they have to do some old fashioned detective work on this. Bringing the weird news of the week to your ear holes. This is what a weird week eight number eight in our countdown of the 10 weird news items of the week is gnomes in the news. Gnomes in the news. Police in the UK are warning people about gnome crime. They say if you find a mysterious garden gnome in your yard, you need to contact the cops and go on high alert. That is me paraphrasing. It could be that robbers have put the gnome in your yard because they're scoping out your place. It's a way to see if you're home. If the robbers come by and they see their gnome hasn't been touched, it tells them that there's probably no one at your house and your place is burglar friendly. If you've been involved in a mystery gnoming, contact your police. I got to say, this one seems like an urban legend to me or something, but I mean, there are real statements from police about this. It just seems like something you would see on Home Alone in the Home Alone movie franchise, Home Alone eight gnome alone. That one, you know, that could be animated. Hold on a second. Writing that one down in the million dollar idea book. Let me know in the comments if you have Steven Spielberg's address. I'd appreciate that. A personal phone number, maybe personal phone number. I think I'd be better on the phone. Seven Mullet World Record. Tammy Menace is a nurse from Tennessee who hasn't cut the party in the back since 1990. You know, business up front party in the back mullet. Tammy was recently in the news for her world record mullet hairstyle, which is longer than she is tall. Her mullet is five foot eight. One time, 33 years ago, she cut her mullet and then she regretted it. She missed it so much and she vowed to immediately start growing a new mullet. Here we are 33 years later. Guinness World Record five foot eight mullet. If you want to see photos, click show notes that page or the show notes of your podcatcher if you're listening on podcast. 10 weird things from this week's news. This is what a weird week six number six on our countdown. Man interviewed on BBC TV by mistake is back in the news. In case you missed it in 2006, a fellow named Guy went to the BBC for a job interview. At the same time, the TV channel was expecting an expert also named Guy to do a live TV interview. So one was job interview. One was an interview on TV. Well, the long story short is the wrong guy ended up on TV and he did his best to fake his way through it. Well, Guy Cuney is the editor of the technology website News Wireless. Hello. Good morning to you. Good morning. Were you surprised by this verdict today? I'm very surprised to see this verdict to to come on me because I was not expecting that when I came. They told me something else and I'm coming. You got an idea of it. So it's a big surprise in a big surprise. Yes. Yeah. There's a link in our show notes to the whole clip. If you want to check it out. An incredible case of mistaken identity on live television. Well, that fellow that was from 2006. That fellow is back in the news because he would like some of the income that's been generated by his viral video moment. Basically, that's the story. BBC, their YouTube has gotten, you know, maybe five, six million views of the incident. It's been meme -ified and all that. And now he's thinking Guy is thinking, hey, any of that money coming my way? What about Guy? Where's Guy's money? That is me paraphrasing. But if you want to watch the video, read the article. All of that, just click the show notes, show notes, that page number five this week. Record breaking cheese ball is enormous. I don't think I would pronounce the name of the Mexican town correctly. So I would encourage you to read the article. We link to that. But this Mexican town in four hours took a whole lot of stringy cheese and made it into the biggest cheese ball in the world. Type of cheese is called one of the names for it is quesillo. I'm probably saying that wrong also, but it's a stringy cheese in the same way you would make an elastic band ball, you know, out of collecting elastic bands. They took all this stringy cheese and just started wrapping and balling that cheese and kablami. They got a cheese ball weighing in at twelve hundred thirty pounds. It was around three feet across the cheese ball and experts in action. It's hypnotizing is something to see. The video is in the show notes. Congratulations, cheese ballers on a wonderful world record accomplishment. It looked delicious.

The Financial Guys
A highlight from Self-Defense Laws and Online Radicalization
"I believe they want to save the environment. The fact of the matter is none of the results of everything they do doesn't help the environment. Like you said, that guy just donated all these money to environmental causes. That money is going to go so these people can strap themselves to something on a highway instead of planting trees. All righty, welcome back. Mike Lomas, Go Legal Financial guys. I should have asked you. I guess I'm hosting. I just opened my mouth. Not that there's like a host here because we don't take commercial breaks, but we are the financial guys. It's a place where money meets politics and thanks for tuning in to a... I love these podcasts, by the way, between morning mics, podcasts, and radio shows. We're doing what we love to do, which is really cool. And I love the 45 minutes and out, 40 minutes and out, no commercial breaks. It's pretty good. It's nice. So I don't know where to start. Western New York here. Glenn, you're down in our Florida office now, but we'll be back here shortly. I'm in our Western New York office. I'll be down to Florida shortly, so back and forth. But Florida is all about hurricane, hurricane, hurricane. I love these environmentalists. So they're like, oh, by the way, every hurricane is a once in a lifetime storm. It's like, okay, I think they go the last... This has never happened before. Well, coming into like the Gainesville area, well, actually it was 170 years ago. Now, hmm, what did we not have 170 years ago? Oh yeah, the freaking automobile, right? Like they want to blame all this on climate change, but it happened 170 years ago. Because it's hitting that part. It's now global warming. And it's so stupid, right? I remember when we were talking to Congressman Chris Collins on the air one time and we were talking about, he was talking about Marco Island, houses on Marco Island. Just bought there. He just bought a house there and he bought there because there was no way that anything, though, the hurricane had never, ever, ever... Because of the way that... Let me back you up for one second. No, no, no, no, no. Let me back you up for one second. As we were doing that, because you and I, we have offices down in Palm Beach, the storm was heading right for Palm Beach. And he said to us, he said, that's exactly why I bought a Marco Island. When I kid you not, we got off the air two hours later. The storm had gone south around the tip of Florida and back up in Marco Island. It literally did. It jogged left and it curled around and it came right back and whacked Marco Island and went right across Naples and right across Lake Okeechobee. I know God's got much bigger things to do than listen to the financial guys at a Saturday afternoon. However, however, it was sort of weird that at 301, as soon as we got off, that storm turned. Really, you guys, karma right there. But the point is that storms, they do whatever. They hit different parts. It's not because of global warming. It's just stupid. Honest to God, what a dumb statement to make. We've been warm, cold, ice ages. We've had hurricanes that have hit the panhandle, Louisiana, Texas, because it just hasn't hit that particular exact spot of the coastline. Are you out of your mind? It has. 170 years ago. That's what's funny about it. 170 years ago it did. So really it did. But not within the last, you know, not since 1974 when they started to keep statistics on it. It's just stupid. These people are lunatics. By the way, we were talking for the show, you know, Patagonia, the guy who created the clothing brand Dives, right, left almost all of his fortune to environmental groups. That and along with Hollywood are the people that are funding these whack jobs that are putting other people at risk. Let me ask you this, though. Everyone's seen this video by now, right? The tribal police, they literally, they take the truck. I love it. They just run over the thing. They clear the road. They arrest everybody. We're not in violence. We're not in violence. Here's the thing, though. Let me ask you this. These are, are these, are these all beta males in that line? Because I got to be honest, if I'm anywhere near visibility of the front, I'm probably going to walk up there after a while, I'm going to probably pull off the road and maybe take a walk or drive down the shoulder. If I can see what's going on and I realize there's a protest, I'm rallying like, you know, half dozen, dozen other rednecks in that line. How long would it take to walk down the cars and grab, you know, nine, 10 other, you know, guys and just say, okay, we're moving. And when they say they're nonviolent, well, you're, you're holding up a, you're holding up miles and miles of people in the desert, right? I mean, look at, I drove, I drove through the desert a few weeks ago. It was a hundred degrees. If that 110 actually during the day, if I'm stuck on that road and there's nothing else, by the way, I can't like turn my car off and just sit there without air. I've got two kids in the car, right? There's people that have animals, pets in the car, right? So you turn that car off, you don't get air conditioning, you die. If you run the car, you eventually run out of fuel. I mean, they are a real threat. They are a real danger and they may not be violent, but it doesn't mean they're not putting people at risk. I tell you how many people could die at 110 degrees. I tell you what, you can be as nonviolent as you want while I'm kicking your head in to get you off the road. I gotta be honest. In the middle of the desert, you blocked the road in the middle of the desert. I'm finding as many of the rednecks as possible and you're getting an ass whooping. I gotta be honest. You're getting out of the road. They needed that. I'll give you 10 seconds to get out of the road or you're getting an ass kicking. Fortunately, it was on tribal land as we were talking before because had it not been, you'll get some liberal piece of shit prosecutor that will now charge the police officer instead of saying thank you for saving the lives of all these people that could have burned to death in their cars. That's the game now, right? That's why George Soros funded all these, right? You remember those folks in St. Louis, the attorneys who protected their home with an AR -15 and a pistol. Now, I don't agree with the woman waving it around like a pointer. That was clearly... But she didn't have the proper skills to let it go. That was her property. You can wave the damn thing any way she wants. Get off her goddamn land. She had the right to defend it. Get off her land. Get off her land. And they prosecuted her. They went after her, right? So all these people in these states, if you're a non -friendly state like New York, you have to really think twice about defending yourself. Think about this. I know. Somebody breaks into your home at two o 'clock in the morning. Think about this for a second. You're by yourself in your home. You don't have your kids. You don't have your wife. You have nothing to worry about to protect. You have an opportunity to go out the back door and get out of your home. Now, however, in New York State, you have every right to defend your home. Is it worth it? I mean, think about that for a second. I'm going to stop and think about that when I'm in New York now. Do I just leave the... I'm going to leave the house and let my guest just break into my home because otherwise I'm going to get prosecuted. Or at least I'm going to get investigated. What if you can't leave? What if you can't leave? What if they have you at gunpoint? Well, then I'm defending myself. Well, then I'm defending myself for sure. I mean, but that's ridiculous. It's to the point where it's just so asinine. I mean, the old saying, rather judged by 12 than carried by six, right? But still, you shouldn't have to think like that. In Florida, you don't have to think like that. In Florida, you can be in your car and have somebody threatening you in your car and defend yourself in your car. I .E. Florida's at a 50 -year low when it comes to crime, 90 -year low in Miami. Because the criminals know it. The criminals know it, right? They know. By the way, it doesn't make it. It's perfect. But I'll tell you what, it's a hell of a lot better. You know, look at... We own a financial company. When your crimes are up 50 % in one state and down 50 % in another state, those are pretty telling... That's a pretty telling tale, right? Like, you know what? Like when we pick stocks, we look at numbers and like, gosh, boy, those numbers are really good. Well, I think let's do more of that, right? Let's maybe buy some of that company, right? I mean, just sad where we are in the states like New York and California. How do you not look at the crime? By the way, I said to the group the other day, it was Chicago. There was a bunch of reporters who actually got mugged as they were doing their online report. The report. It's crazy. And like you said... I did a charity golf tournament with a client on Monday. He was part of our team. A police officer. And he said, he goes, Mikey, he goes, it's absolutely disgusting to see these same people that we arrest time and time and time again. One of the illegal aliens who was out on a bail to rob some cars. Illegal. In the country, illegal. He's out on cashless bail. A joke. A joke. But yeah, here we are now in the national media for the rest of the week and the weekend we'll focus on this tragic shooting in Jacksonville, right? This is one tragic shooting amongst many, many, many tragic shootings. The manifesto will be released right away, I'm sure, right? He's already is a white supremacist, 21 year old young kid, and you'll say, well, we should not have the guns. Okay. So he, instead of walking with an AR, he could have walked in with a pistol, done the exact same thing. But here's the thing that at some point, are we, I mean, are we actually going to have an honest conversation about what is radicalizing these kids? You know, whether it's on the right or the left, on either side. The mental illness problems, which we continue to say something, but we refuse to look at any of that, right? You've got a huge homeless problem in this country. Part of it is caused by the welfare. Part of it is caused by the massive amounts of mental illness that's out there. And instead of getting these people in the right spots, getting them medicated, you know, getting them in the right direction, we just let them back out on the streets because boy, they can't have that on their record. If they have mental illness on the record, they'll never recover. Well, guess what? If they have mental illness, they'll never recover. Right. Well, this kid, like this kid was the Asian one that's mostly white. Did you see that? That was a different one. Yeah. Yeah. The mostly white Asian. That was another, another classic headline from CNN. Right. The mostly white Asian. No, this one was the Jacksonville kid, a 21 year old and tragic. Yeah, sure. So anyway, so the, but the thing, they're all, everyone's out there immediately. It's like, we've got to do something about the systemic racism in the country.

Senator Marco Rubio Weighs In on the DOJ's Distraction Tactics
"If we had elections on the debate about the issues at the heart of this divide, Republicans would win them all. I think Donald Trump's presence in the election is going to obscure that fundamental debate. Do you for a moment worry that the Department of Justice is incentivized to get people to look away from an open border, from transitioning children at the age of 10, from all of the lunacy by throwing Trump into the middle of this with an indictment? Well, I think clearly what's happened now is there are no guardrails left. If you watch basically the entire American media landscape, there is no penalty to be paid for going overboard on Donald Trump. In fact, it's celebrated, right? It's being celebrated on every network. The commentators are giddy. In some ways, I think that's a good thing, right? Because we used to pretend, OK, you know, that journalist, you know, they don't like us. They're probably biased, but they're fair. You know, they'll give us a fair shot. And if the other side does something really bad, they'll report on that, too. Now there's no pretending. I mean, I think that's the one thing Donald Trump has done is unmask that reality is that these people are, you know, they absolutely have an agenda and they don't feel they need to hide it. They don't feel they need to hide it. Look, the president of CNN lost his job because he hosted a town hall with the leading presidential candidate on the Republican side at the moment. I mean,

Senator Marco Rubio Describes America's "Decades of Decadence"
"Hugh Hewitt, joined by Senator Marco Rubio, whose brand new book, Decades of Decadence, is in bookstores today available on Amazon. I put the link over at Twitter. Senator, on page 172 you write, The divide between people who live in this country and want it to prosper, and those who see the U .S. as a fundamentally racist, sexist nation that must be radically changed or dismantled if it wants it to survive. That's the key difference. And you go on to expand when this began, this difference began. I don't know how we end it. And Decades of Decadence says we've got to end it, but how do we end it? Well, first of all, I think it's important to understand that divide. What's really important about it is that even though the group of people who believe this country is inherently evil and needs to be dismantled and restructured is small, the minority, they're a very powerful minority. They happen to be CEOs and they run media and they're at the top of government agencies and they control academia for a long time. And it really began when it was almost, it was a lab leak from academia. It was a virus that existed in higher education that got outside of the lab and has now infected the population or at least infected all of our major institutions. And I think the way we begin to stop it is standing up against it at every level. And that's why history is so important. The French Revolution is a great guide. The French Revolution that began in many ways on strong principles evolved into a hysteria that they wound up running out of people to guillotine. And that's so where we're headed here as well. It's become a hysteria and people are learning the hard way that they won't stop. There's no institution or individual, no matter how woke you are, eventually they'll come for you. Look at the other day, what happened at the White House. You know, Joe Biden decides to have this pride event. And then you've got this social media influencer, a man who's transitioned to being a woman and so forth, going topless and bragging about it. You know, it's an embarrassment, right? And to the country, it's distasteful, no matter who it was. So it's what happens when you begin to allow this thing to continue. It will not stop. It's a virus that will keep spreading until we stop

Sen. James Lankford: Outrage Over the FBI Targeting Catholics
"I know you're a Christian man as am I and these attacks on the Catholics that coming from the FBI infiltrating the I'd love to get your take on that. Yeah, I actually met with Christopher wray on that exact issue and said, what in the world happened? He said, this is a single field office. This is something we checked. We pulled it immediately. We put in process to make sure that's not happening again. My question is, what is happening among rank and file that people would think this is a good idea to be able to say, hey, watch out for those traditional Catholics because they may all be domestic terrorists. That is insanity that that's in the process that they feel like this is what the Biden administration would want to put out. What's even more so is Marco Rubio and IRS talking because the Catholics were kicked out of Walter Reed for doing services for Catholic service members, the week before holy week. But the week before Easter, they were kicked out and they put it into a for profit other organization that then had to go find Catholic priests to be able to help. So we're asking the simple question, why would you do that? And we're walking through to be able to make sure that this administration honors basic religious liberty of every individual of every faith and that that's protected.

The New York Times Defies Big Trans?
"Which is the gay and lesbian alliance against defamation. Got it against Stephanie. Okay. So glad has launched a campaign to go after The New York Times. Now, people ask all the time, Charlie, how are we going to win? Part of the strategy for our victory is to just wait it out and let the left fight amongst themselves. It's just a matter of time. And that is exactly what is happening between Glaad and The New York Times. The New York Times, which is a rag, and is a propagandist paper, which just as a fact, though, is not as bad as The Washington Post. You got to be fair. They are not as bad as The Washington Post. Having dealt with them both, there's a little bit more of a micron of truth, oh, by the way, this also ties in Marco Rubio has a new bill that would ban most trans people from the U.S. Military. Good for you, Marco, I fully support that. That's exactly right. That's exactly what we need. Draw a line in the sand and stop putting up with this garbage. Which, by the way, was the rule back when we actually used to win wars and not shoot balloons out of the sky with hypersonic heat missiles and miss one of them. 50% success rate. Okay, so glad sends this letter to The New York Times. And says to The New York Times, hey, stop the right wing coverage of the trans issue.

Myra Adams and Eric Discuss the Bible's Cultural Relevancy
"And I both know that it's impossible to live in American culture in English culture in England. Without hearing phrases that are from the Bible. And so if you don't know the Bible, it's a little bit like being utterly ignorant of Shakespeare. You are culturally illiterate because there are so many phrases that come from Shakespeare and from the Bible. And if you don't know about those things, I mean, I'm big on cultural literacy. And you have a chapter in your book, Bible study for those who don't read the Bible, where you talk about some of the sayings that we think of as common sayings, but are rooted in the Bible. You posted it in your town hall column on June 27th, 2021, that was my birthday year and a half ago. Why don't we start there? Okay, well, you bring up a really good point about how cultural literacy is what's really declining. And both the Bible and Shakespeare were two of the works that were really the foundation of education and literacy for centuries in western culture. And both of them seem to be on the decline. Particularly the Bible and I guess probably Shakespeare is probably what he's probably been canceled too by this time. But the Bible can be considered hate speech. So senator Marco Rubio had told me that years ago that he believed that at some point, the Bible, the Bible would be considered hate speech in a year ago, I talked to him and I said, remember when you said that a year ago, Bible would be considered hate speech, and he said, I was right, wasn't I? Right. And that's today's left in the United States of America. But today's left in the United States of America in thinking of the Bible of hate as hate speech. They're in good company because the Taliban, the North Korean regime, they also think of the Bible as hate speech. So if you're on the left and you think the Bible is hate speech, join those clubs.

The 2024 Horse Race
"Landscape is developing. And it's going to be a very long, tiring primary. A year from now, we're going to be right in the middle of it. And so we have Nikki Haley, who is officially announced him Scott, who looks like he's going to run Mike Pence, who's probably going to write, run Mike Pompeo, who's probably going to run. Whispers are that friend of the show, Vivek Rama Swami. Might run for president. And then, of course, Donald Trump is running. I think all of this helps Trump. All of this strengthens Trump's case. For 2024, Donald Trump running for the presidency, standing against neoliberalism, open borders, silly trade deals, and interventionist foreign wars is how he will differentiate himself amongst many other things, obviously. The fact that he was actually president, he got a lot done. These people say they're running for president. Nikki Haley says she's running for president Tim Scott says he is running for president, but in reality they are running against Donald Trump. That is the reality, but they're not going to say it. They're not going to try to insult Trump voters, but they are going to be running against Donald Trump. And I actually think that helps Trump. I think Trump will be able to navigate that successfully. The more kind of targets the better and they're going to start attacking each other because they're going to try to fill up the different lanes. Now whether or not Ted Cruz is going to run for president, that will be interesting if Marco Rubio run for president that will be interesting. We'll Glenn youngkin run for president. Will Greg Abbott run for president? These are all very interesting questions. Will Larry Hogan run for president? I think all of it helps Donald Trump

Is Sarah Huckabee Sanders Vying for a VP Ticket?
"There's a new CNN poll out there that says well over 70% of you thought the president did a good job last night. Over 40% of Republicans said that the president did a good job as well. What was your take? How do you think Sarah Huckabee Sanders did with the Republican rebuttal? I thought she bottled pretty darn well. And that's always a hard speech. And go back to Marco Rubio with the glass of water, where he was chugging water, remember that tobacco, and then you had Bobby jindal, the governor of Louisiana, he was supposed to be the next darling of the Republicans, and the guy sped red through the entire speed. Nobody could understand what the guy was saying. He was talking so fast. But I thought Sarah Huckabee Sanders did a fine job. She really did illustrate the point that the Republican Party is the party of the future. She is the youngest governor in America. 40 years old. President Biden by comparison is 80 years old. It was a rather striking comparison. So I'm curious to get your take on Biden and Sanders. Part of me wondered if Sanders was maybe maybe running for a vice presidential slot. On a Trump ticket. Could be, but I don't think so. 8
The Hugh Hewitt Show: Highly Concentrated
President Biden; The Old, Old, Man
"I want to play for you Marco Rubio who went on to Fox with Sean Hannity last night and gave a discussion of the president's State of the Union, which I think sums up the reaction that most of us who have seen or heard or read about it because it was just a bizarre night. Cut number 40. Yeah, it was a bizarre speech all the way around him. There's a lot of bizarre lines tonight. One of them had to do with China where he said, namely one world leader he actually screamed into the camera. Name me one world leader that would trade places with president Xi, basically any dictator on the planet, would love to be the president for life of the second largest economy in the world in a rapidly growing military that can fly balloons over the continent of the United States and have nothing happened to them. And it's that joins a list of a lot of bizarre things tonight. Look, tonight, he recognized Paul Pelosi horrible attack. No one was in favor of it, completely ignores the fact that city right in front of him is Brett Kavanaugh, or an assassin, was arrested within steps of Brett Kavanaugh's door completely ignored that. You know, he attacked big pharma, smeared them up and down. I'm not always a big fan of big pharma, but then he takes credit and brags about a vaccine that they made billions on because he fired people unless they used their vaccine. He went after big oil. All this profits you should be reinvesting your profits before I, Joe Biden put you out of business over the next ten years. I mean, the litany of ridiculousness of it was just really bizarre statement, but let me tell you what you didn't hear about tonight and I thought that governor Huckabee touched on that in her rebuttal and her response is you didn't hear a lot of talk about pregnant men tonight. You didn't hear a lot of talk about some of these crazy things because they're pivoting now to an election mode and they know all that stuff is toxic. So try and pretend it's not happening, but it remains at the core and at the heart of their administration, not a lot of woke talk tonight, except for the climate stuff, which by the way, he doesn't tell you, benefits China, who make the batteries, who now dominate the solar panel industry and the like. And who continue to build more coal fired plants and all the other countries of the world, combined. So it was a bizarre speech with a lot of silly not lines and some really ridiculous ones perhaps the craziest of all is threatening he's going to veto any national abortion ban passed by Chuck Schumer's democratic Senate. And he screams it so you can see how strong he was screaming a lot last night. The president does not hear well, he does not speak while he does not communicate while he is an old, old man.

If I were you, I'd go check out big fat checks. The link is already in the show notes. The link to his company is in the show notes as well. So you'll be able to connect with Marco and learn and grow through what he's doing. He has a small event that he does every month for real estate investors. If you want more info on that, you'll be able to reach out to him. Unless he gives me a specific link he wants me to use for that. I want you to be getting value regardless what you're doing. Through your business, I want you to be getting growing and adding value to others and making lots of money. And I think that it's important if you are doing that, that you are able to put some money aside for the future and get that cash flow. It is a big reason why I've been doing real estate investing for so many years and I still continue to invest in real estate, even though I have this business around helping podcasters. Marco is an incredible person to learn for that. And one thing that I really like about the program that he has is specific that he'll make a promise that he's going to work with you and tell you achieve a certain thing. And so if you're comfortable with that thing and the investment that it takes to get that thing, he's in your corner until it happens. 100% 100%.

"These are not the droids you're looking for. These are there you go. You're the best. I appreciate it. When you were starting your podcast, Marco, like aside from the fact that we're working together to grow it, just imagine you're just talking to somebody who's completely brand new and they definitely got the value from what it means to give to give. But I want to talk about the challenges that you had to overcome. Regardless of working with a team, what challenges did you come across? Did you approach? Did you see that you had to find a way to still be able to have this podcast that added value to other people that either slowed you down or confused you any challenges that you could think of? I think time and myself, I think those are the two biggest issues. What do you mean by that? Well time number one is our biggest enemy all of us. We have the same 24 hours in a day and we all have life and we all have other things going on. And if you don't have anything going on, congrats. Even though I say I've been retired for a very long time, if I make a promise, I want to keep it. And sadly, because of my desire to give to give, sometimes I take on projects that I regret taking on, but if I make the promise I have to go through it. And finding the time to record two podcasts because you had suggested and it comes down to finding the human, the person the business that can help you achieve what you want to achieve, letting go of your ego completely tap the door. I don't know anything about it. What do I need? What are the things that I need? You gave me a list of this is the equipment. Here's the microphone. Here's what you do. Here's what you got. By the time you had finished giving me the list, I already had bought it on Amazon. So it was instantaneously. Because if I don't do it now, it'll never get done. I know me that well. So if someone says hey, get to me that next week? I'm going to do it now because next week is never going to happen. Later, always means no. So I've learned myself and you as a listener, maybe you're different. Maybe you can handle not doing things and handling them later. I can't have too much information coming at me all the time. So I have to do it now. And finding the time because there's not just me, I have my two compadres, as I said, another very, very dear Friends. We do a lot of things together for the hundredth episode. I flew up to Canada where we could all be together and that was a shit show because we couldn't get our equipment to work properly. Oh my gosh. The sun was in her eyes and the sun was behind us and he couldn't see it. It was just a litany of issues. We did more drinking and eating way to do podcasting. Let's just put it that way. Four days of complete, it was mayhem. It was hilarious. We had a really good time. And I think that's another component is have fun in your podcast, which my ADD is kicking off. So I think having fun while your podcasting is important, coming back to time is having the time and that set in stone to record. Because if you have a schedule of delivery, your listeners will want that and need that. And if you're not consistent, it's going to create a gap in trust. And that's going to be very, very difficult. So don't let those that you make a promise to down. And if you're going to start it, do it right. If you're going to do it once a month and just make sure it's done once a month. So once a week, make sure someone's a week. If it's every two weeks and just whatever you do stick to and don't make a promise, you can't keep. So map out a series of things that you want to discuss authentically, again, not just to discuss it. And the time I think is the biggest factor to find the time to be able to do it well, I do a lot of the editing myself and you've offered many times and I know you probably edit it as well after I sent it to you, but my whole team has asked me, why are you doing this yourself? I stay up to four in the morning sometimes just making sure that everything that I want to communicate is there or if there's something that I said that I shouldn't have said, I cut that out and figure out where and sometimes I'll rerecord the whole thing because I didn't like it. And because I have a quality control that I want. So as far as the other issue is myself is the biggest issue is I don't want to compromise me being a perfectionist with getting it out. So sometimes I have to make compromises because it's going to be as good as it's going to be now. And the only person that's really going to notice is me. And that's okay. How did it go? That was really good. I appreciate it. I'm glad we went into that. The last question that I wanted to understand and get a feel for with your journey is around the fact that you do mostly group podcasts with two co hosts that you've already mentioned before they came through your program like 7 ish years ago. They were really good students and then they ended up quitting their high paying high profile jobs to start supporting other people with kind of getting this real estate thing. With that said, I know that there's a lot of people that only do interviews. It's one or two posts and one or two guests in general, and they only do that. I know other people that only do it's just solo. It's just me and in some cases it scripted in solo. And then there's you who kind of does combination, but surprisingly, very few. And I think the number is one ever out of over a hundred episodes. Interviews. So you're doing more, I think, solo and you and your two co hosts, why do you do it that way, there's so much in my mind. It's the ADD thing. But I'm looking at people that say, you can not grow a podcast. If you're not interviewing people, because the only way you grow is to have your guests, share it with their audience. But you've been able to still grow bigger than most of those people that say that that's the only way to do it. So I want to understand a little bit more about your system and how that works through your content. I don't think it was by design. It's just that we have so much content to give. And I say that, and I almost regret saying it because we really struggled many times where we did an episode and it sounded just very similar to an episode that was 20 episodes ago. So we nixed that episode. And we have to have a different version of what we were saying. And our choice to have guests is to support the material and the quality of the content that we're delivering not to grow the show. So our objective is to give to give not to give so we can get something in return, right? So we're going to have a guest that's going to support our mission or vision or purpose. That's going to support our community to get content that's going to be applicable to them. In fact, the only guest that I've had so far. And we have other guests that are going to be slated. We've made a conscious decision that we're going to change the format just a little bit to include more guests and I'd love to have you on at one point as well. There's a handful of people that I already have earmarked for this. The guests that we actually had had nothing to do with real estate, it was actually on Internet marketing. And I wanted to show the similarities of that business and our business. Everyone says my business is different, but they're actually all the same. And it comes down to education, tools, understanding the process, surrounding yourself with great people, and as you get into more and more businesses, because I'm in many different businesses. You know this, but I bought a bar back in February that was about to go BK. And we just turned it around. Now there's a three hour wait at the door and we're just slaying it. We're doing really, really well. And this is, I don't know if you have a timestamp on this, but this is Halloween week. And it's bananas. It's incredible. I'm very, very blessed, very grateful. And all the things that I learned in my real estate business, I'm applying to this business because it's identical. It's the same. So any concept that we can bring that will magnify the message, that's the guess that we're going to have on. And it's going to magnify that value in that message. So it reinforces exactly the point that we're trying to make..

"Well, I want a thousand. Yep. Do you remember that? I don't know if you're looking at me when you said that. But I did that thing where my son and I were just watching a show together a movie. What is it called Scooby-Doo? Like one of these Scooby-Doo movies. And when they gulp and they're trying to swallow, but their mouth is dry. And that's pretty much what I did. I'm like a thousand. How are we supposed to get a thousand? That's way good. That's like ten times the amount of just the top 0.6% in the entire world. For ratings and reviews, 0.6% of podcasts have a hundred or more ratings and reviews. And this guy wanted a thousand. And I'm like, I can give you as many as I can give you. I can work as hard as I can. I can put it in front of more people. We can private message people. We can do Facebook ads. But I don't know about a thousand. That sounds pretty crazy. And we're doing the pre interview. And you mentioned that you had a thousand. So I had a double check. It's like over a thousand writings and reviews. And I know that the package that you have with us, others do that, but they're not like a hundred times better than the top 1%, like you are. And so it comes to the place where we have to decide why is your show doing what it's doing? And what can our listener get from that? It has to come back to the first point of the podcast. The question that I asked you before I even started recording. What do you want to pour into a listener? And it's all about gift give. Your content is awesome. Your heart is in the right place. And I have to imagine, hopefully we're helping a little bit in some of those, but there's no way that you're that high up with out having your listener, share the content with other listeners without having them believe in your message. So let's talk about that. I'm a new podcaster. I'm brand new. And I'd like to get in the top 10% and top 1% or way higher like Marco is how do I go about creating content that is going to be giving to give value first? Is there a strategy to that that we can pick up? Well, first of all, I feel like a piece of bread because you're buttering me up so much. I'm sorry. No, don't. It's really impressive to me. I don't know what I don't know. And you've been at this game a lot longer than I have on the podcasting side. And I know a hundred people that I work with and I felt like a hundred wasn't that much. I'm blessed with following already. So I was able to bump those numbers up. I think we got to 300 and we hit a plateau at one point ish, which I know you were very impressed with at that point. And just decide note that we have over a 1005 star reviews. It's not just a thousand reviews and it's 5 star, right? If you take a look at what's going on, it's mostly 5 star, and then we have maybe one or two four star. You can see it's very, very low in the four star. And it comes back to the content that I deliver and I have also Frank and Gabe who are my co podcasters serve their students of mine that have both met me 6, 7 years ago, both had extremely good jobs. And decided to hang up their retirement and their pensions because they're real estate cash flow far exceeded the money that they were making and they hated being in the office. And I'm talking offices like head office of KPMG, making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year and one work for government very high officials and caning governments said, you know what? I can't be here anymore. I can't watch. I can't come to the office. I just can't do it anymore. And when you have the ability to impact other people, where they've really were able to shift their lives and make a difference, that's only two people. I wanted more reach as well to be able to help as many humans as possible with knowledge that most people don't have. Now, if you're a podcaster, you have a knowledge base or an angle or a message that is important that is valuable that needs to be shared, and if you map out the topics and that was something that took us a long time as we took a whole bunch of topics and what are the things that we can discuss around those topics that are going to add value? Because it's very easy to talk about a topic. But at the end of the episode, what can I really do? What can I action? What is it that I can is the listener really going to get something out of this? We're not just doing a podcast and just shooting the shit. I don't know if I can say that. Shooting things around. I'm very colorful. On this podcast, we will cuss when we feel like cussing. In fact, randomly enough, I just had an episode, not to derail the conversation at all. We just had a podcast episode literally on cussing. I think that the only way to track your avatar is to be who you are. You have to be yourself to the core. And I believe that some people, like they would normally cost. But they hold back and because of that, I think that it's hard for people to fully trust and believe in them because there's something missing. So you can leave it in. It's good. All right, yes. And that comes back to being authentic. And being yourself, because if you try to be someone that you're not authenticity is missing in the listener can definitely hear that. And we're very in tune with what people should sound like and very sensitive to phony. I think so anyway. So coming back to what are we going to do? What are we going to offer? What real experiences or stories or insight or techniques or strategies that we can deliver to the person that knows nothing? So we're coming from the vantage point of it's a new listener, they've just stumbled across the podcast. They don't have to listen to the first encourage everyone almost on every episode to listen to the first ten first. Because it explains asset based lending, how you don't need any money. This is not get rich quick. If you're not willing to put in the work or the effort and really learn things, it's never going to work for you because there are very specific skills and skill sets that you need to develop in order to buy something with no money. Tons of get rich quicker out there. And if you do not follow process, you're just not going to get results. I'm a big believer of being married to process and divorced from results. So the result that I wanted was not necessarily a 1005 star reviews, now we're 10,000. So that's our next benchmark. So how do we get to 10,000? And if your dreams don't scare you, you're not dreaming big enough, right? You should be scared of whatever things you want to achieve. And.

"The intention of the podcast is to educate the listener. And for them to want more. And if someone is able to take the content and make money with it and it's a free content, imagine what would happen if they were actually being helped. Most hosts never achieve the results they hoped for. They're falling short on listenership and monetization, meaning their message isn't being heard and their show ends up costing them money. This podcast was created to help you grow your listenership and make money while you're at it. Get ready to take notes. Here's your host, Adam Adams. Welcome back to the podcast on podcasting. It is your host Adam triple-A atoms and I'm actually joined with a friend of mine today on this episode. Marco Kozlowski really honestly and genuinely just such a great guy like somebody that I admire, somebody that I respect. Somebody that I look up to, he does real estate, which as if you followed me for a little while, you know that I've been doing real estate for a long time. And he's been doing it for like 22 years as of recently. And what's kind of cool? He does do coaching and mentoring. So he actually helps people be involved in real estate. And just to give him a quick shout out, most of the coaches and mentors that are out there, and I don't even mean this to be rude or to hurt anyone's feelings. But they've been doing real estate a lot shorter than me. And Marco's been doing it a lot longer than me. So I've been doing real estate investing since 2005 and Marco has been going even longer than that since the 90s. So he's definitely somebody to follow. And when I asked him at the beginning of this episode, in the pre interview, I said, Marco, what value do you want to give to new podcasters? And it was interesting because the feedback that he shared is he just says to authentically give quality content, give to give, not give to get. And that resonates with me as really speaking to who Marco is as a person. And as a podcaster and as a coach and a mentor, because he does that at his virtual events, which will put a link in, so you can find some of those virtual events. He does that on every single episode and we actually manage his podcast. So I heard probably the first 15 or 20. He's got over a hundred episodes now. But I heard probably the first 15 plus episodes where I was trying to listen. And I'm thinking to myself, this guy adds so much value on his podcast, like it's insane. He gives literally to give. And I just want to point that out. That's really the topic that's really the idea of where we're going to be coming from today. With that said, Marco, your bio, your lengthy, awesome bio is actually in the show notes. So for our listener, you can just scroll down and check out everything in just to sum it up though. He runs a podcast called big fat real estate checks. And what he teaches in his podcast. And in his business, which the podcast and the business go hand in hand with each other. The main thing that he's teaching is how do you buy a property, even if you have literally you don't want to use any of your own money or you have none to use. How do you do that? There are ways and he talks about strategy that he and a lot of his coaching clients have been able to implement. Where you're buying something under its value, you're getting a company or a person to lend the entire down payment and in some cases like you're making money the day that you buy. And you own this asset that pays you cash flow. So that's where we're starting with Marco. He's been doing it for quite a long time. He buys hotels and things like that. So I encourage you to check out his show. It's called big fat real estate checks. My team because we manage your show. We just call it BFC. That's the name of your podcast. With the three letter acronym, BFC, big fat, real estate checks. Marco, since the bios already in the show notes, I really want to talk a little bit about how you believe that why did you start a podcast and how do you think can support your business and your coaching program? Thanks for that amazing introduction. First of all, I appreciate that. I'm impressed with myself, I think. Regular guy just trying to help as many people as possible. That's made a ton of mistakes over 22 years, and I'm always passionate about helping people. I retired a few years ago and I saw you were doing a podcast, other people that I also respect tremendously. We're doing podcasts. And I thought, well, I haven't done that yet. So let's give that a shot. And when you have some time on your hands, because of I'm blessed and grateful that I made some more good decisions than bad ones. I'm able to focus and put something together that has extreme quality, which is very important to me, not just putting out a product. And anything that I do, I want it to be the best it can be without procrastinating because many people want to get into something and don't want to do anything until it's perfect. I've learned a long time ago that you have to get started to get perfect. You don't have to get perfect to get started. And that is a big procrastination tool for those perfectionists out there. So bottom line answer is I just wanted to have another platform to deliver value. I wasn't expecting thousands of listeners. I wasn't expecting anything really. I just wanted to give to give. And when you have that in mind and you do give out quality content, no matter what your topic is, you'll build a following around that and the authentic Ness and the genuine desire to be useful will come through if you have that in mind. We could end the podcast episode there. There was a lot of good stuff. I am thinking to myself with your podcast, I'm just remembering part of your journey where we've served a lot of podcasters and a lot of them have gotten the rank like top 1% in the world. Which is wonderful. It means they have a lot of listens, downloads, ratings, reviews. But I remember specifically, because you just mentioned, when you do something, when Marco does something, he wants it to be the best it can be. And partly why working with the company to help with the podcast and partly why I think you add such immense amount of value in every episode that you do, like I really truly believe that the content is just untouchable. So hard to reach there. But I don't know if you remember this, Marco, you remember me thinking that a hundred ratings and reviews was remarkable and amazing. And didn't you say something like,.

The king of these scoundrels is called noga. Dr this noga guitar had gone to the court of shug. A tie who was owned brother to the great khan with some ten thousand horsemen of his and abode with him for shaggy tie was his uncle. And whilst there this noga dr devised a most audacious enterprise. And i will tell you what it was. He left his uncle who was then in greater armenia and fled with a great body of horsemen cruel unscrupulous. Fellows i threw butter sean and then through another province called pasha deer and then through another called ari aura customer there. He lost a great number of his people and of his horses for the roads. Were very narrow and perilous and when he had conquered all those provinces he entered india at the extremity of a province called dala var. He established himself in that city and government which he took from the king of the country. Us idan sold on by name. A man of great power and wealth and their abida noga dr with his army afraid of nobody and waging war with all the tartars in his neighborhood. Now that i have told you up those scoundrels and their history. I must add. The fact that messer marco himself was all but caught by their bands in such a darkness that i have told you of as it pleased god. He got off and threw himself into a village that was hard by called kana. Saw me how did he lost his whole company except seven persons who escaped along with him. The rest were caught and some of them sold some put to death translators. Note the magical darkness which marco ascribes to the evil arts of the coronas is explained by konakov from the phenomenon up dry fog which he has often experienced in khorasani and combined with the dust storm with which we are familiar in upper india in sindh these phenomena often produce a great degree of darkness during a battle fought between the armies of sindh and cocke in seventeen sixty two such a fog came on obscuring the light of day for some six hours during which the armies were intermixed with one another and fighting desperately when the darkness dispersed separated and the consternation of both parties was so great at the events of the day that both made a precipitate retreat in eighteen forty four. This battle was still spoken of with wonder and with that. I think we'll end this evening's reading from the travels of marco polo. The addition. I'm reading from has pages upon pages of notes which are fairly interesting but definitely break up the narrative if you like to read this work and those many notes yourself as always you'll find a link to a free e book from project gutenberg in the show description if.

Be apart marco thank you so much for chatting with us today You know it's actually having a chance to go back and look through so many different roles you've had over your career because your face has popped up in so many things that i've seen over the years. I am no matter what the character is no matter what the rule is. You always blend into that part so seamlessly and really feels like it is a fully-fledged character and not just like a nobody an extra screen. They're always feels like there's something substantial with the roles you do so. Thank you so much for your work and thank you for chatting with today about your star trek appearances and so much more. Yeah thanks for having me. And that was our chat with marta. Rodriguez who again. I wanna thank for being willing to come back and chat me not just once but twice to make sure we had everything and you know what i could easily do. A third or fourth or fifth time with him because there's so much more to discuss in his career normally at the end of my show. I have some kind of star trek related story adding some more context the episode to discuss today. But this time around. I want to discuss some feedback. I got from listeners. Who don't necessarily like hearing about racial issues on this show and they'd rather we just stick with the hollywood stories. But i hate to break to you because well. That's not going to change because for many people this is part of the hollywood story star. Trek is a series. That's never shied away from addressing racial issues. As we've seen with many many episodes in all of the franchises and i'm not asking these questions to guests just woke social justice warrior. I asked because topics like this do matter and quite simply many folks aren't exposed to that side of the industry nor the struggles of professionals who had to work under those conditions in the ideal world..

"It showed humanity of these people which are so often portrayed as people that you know. These soul is people that They don't they don't have aspirations. They don't have the same kind of human emotions that Those from the mainstream society might But they're portrayed as real human beings so yeah like i said i've had those opportunities now and then and yet they haven't been projects that have achieved a lot of notoriety per se but they have brought me some very rewarding experiences. A up a great point about having these characters not be defined by their ethnicity and making them into these fully fleshed out three dimensional characters but reputation something that matters and if you look at the lens of star trek for example with this matter and this actually hand hand also with asian actors in star trek there so few of them And you know. I imagine it's maybe endemic of what. The industry is like in the eighties and nineties. Here on twenty twenty one. Have things really gotten better. Have things improved. Would you say yes. i think. definitely they have They haven't gone a gotten as far as as i think a lot of us would would like it to be but compared to what it was when i first started When i first started. I mean it was like i look at some of the stuff that i did the earthly stuff. I did And in retrospect i see that and i go like allow. That's that's that's pretty stereotypical stopped him. Although you know it it. Kind of morrison into the old westerns were that the bandidos and that kind of morphed into the narc nocco traffickers and so forth.

I think back on one of the on her academy award winning role which was one flew over the cuckoo's nest That that's an iconic part in that that movie and so yeah it was. It was a pleasure to be able to work with her on this film. Quite a change from the dramatic dramatic parts. The she was used to playing. I guess not. Marco you know looking at your resume looking at your. I'm debbie especially and some of your role roller start your career. It's basically ban like to type roles.

Cop detectives he'll be police people Military roles but again so often. We're seeing you know especially in the nineties eighties. Hispanic actors portrayed as the criminal the bad guy and this is not anything we haven't heard before from other actors who are people of color the kind of said the same thing. There's always this stereotype role that they've had to deal with and to fight over the years case in point. I would love to ask you about your seinfeld episode. But that's looking back on it pretty horribly racist so i don't wanna go there but yeah you know i mean what's been like for you as an actor to be trying to come up in this industry and really having to swim upstream this whole time to try and find roles. That aren't just these horrible stereotypes. Yes but like. I said it has been challenging saying to try to to try to deal with and a calm but at the same time i've tried to maintain a healthy Perspective throughout it. Because you know you wanna work and you want to bring the best that you can so even within the restrictions of that stereotype you you want to take every opportunity to flesh out into to create a real.

Yeah you couldn't really didn't have much much motion on your neck. Did that really change or affect. How you're doing. You're acting for this episode. I mean jeff make adjustments. No i mean. I i think you use that. Basically is what happened. I think You just whatever whatever restrictions you feel A with any part. Whatever you're challenged with. I think i i kind of try to great that into the into the character itself and not not let it become an impediment but rather let it become an asset and That's i think what happened with this particular character Although i mean it was frustrating i think the character himself was showed show that emotion as well and what. He was doing his frustration. Being caught The you know he was doing his job. He's trying to try and get information the computer and gets caught and eat. They also have been very the kardashians were involved in some kind of war with them so there was also that feeling that.

"While i was on there. In fact are dressing. Rooms were near each other and so he got to talking to me about the the the new star trek and he was really high on it. Of course he's a regular so he was really really enthusiastic about being a regular on on something like that and was looking forward to a long run which he. They weren't sure what was going to happen with. It turned out ran for seven years. So i think it was seven years. That particular episode was the like. I said the paul writes episode was just a brief scene. And it's interesting. How you now. How much how how much publicity. God actually through the years. I've gotten love them. Ref requests for people for that particular episode as brief as it was at that Series turned out to be you know in the long run quite popular and so it it spawned the course the succeeding series the The ones which have been quite a few quite a few just to say the least. Yeah it's been going on for so many years now and you've got to put on a starfleet uniform which i've heard differing opinions on and you're wearing one of the season one uniforms which are definitely a little bit more constricting. I believe so dear call at uniform fit on you. Yeah they were Tight-fitting form fitting uniforms. What i do remember was the The pronounced the prominent shoulder pads at they add. Add major Shuffled his look bigger than they actually were But i think that was kind of a trademark. Look that they that they started with. Because i don't think the original star trek had that that look at all so yes. That's what i remember about that uniform. And as you already mentioned. You're scene was primarily with jonathan frakes and then few moments later on that senior joined by brent spiner and denise crosby Do you recall much during that time. A little bit. I mean i think you know chatted with the cast members at the the were around for that particular scene. Yeah i don't remember. The substance of the conversation was other than the fact that the they were. All new characters and You know they were very excited about the series in and wanting it to be a success and the interesting thing about the t and g crew especially was like i heard when they're kind of i start in the show especially patrick stewart. He was taking a very seriously some of the other actors or maybe not an order to say not seriously. They wanted to have more fun with it and buy time. We got to season seven. It was much more loose kind of set so here you are in season one. And how would you describe the environment of the actors and how everybody felt onset. Was it kind of loose feeling type of thing or was it more like. They're still kind of trying to find their way. Well i think it was like. I said it's we're season. They were still trying to adjust to you. Know there's they're finding their characteristics awhile to you know from experts to to begin to Find the threat of your character and find out what it's what he or she is all about. And i think they were in the midst of that process Jonathan frakes seemed to me to be based on the conversations. I had with those that were rambis seemed to be the most excited excited enthused and serious about this opportunity that he had And i in fact he. I think he mentioned that Denise crosby she was. Only i think on the first season yep and It was i think A.

"Here. I i believe you. I believe in you. Do you have any particularly memorable stories. Good or bad maybe testimonial of somebody who used your surveys. And they came back to say. Wow this was really helpful. Yeah for sure i. I've worked with a lot of job seekers not just get stage fright in the interview process. One of the most memorable stories for me is working with a young man who was interested in getting into the pharmaceutical industry so he was interested in doing more administrative roles so it wasn't like he needed to be super extroverted but he was very very timid nervous to ask somebody at starbucks if he could borrow a chair and the first thing that we did in our consultation call was an exercise where i gave him an image and i said what comes to mind. How would you tell me a story about this image. And he froze and you just sat there for maybe a minute in silence an i purposely. Let that sink in. I wanted to challenge him and see where his head went. After a minute. I said what was the first thing that came to your mind. He said well. It's a picture of words. So i thought of reading one okay. What was the last book you read. I mean he told me the name of the book said. Did you like it. Yes what happened. Why did you like it. And we work through prompt together to a point where he felt comfortable saying okay. I think i have a story and mine now. And he was able to deliver eloquently. Oftentimes people get stuck and they think oh. I don't have a story for this. I don't know how to answer this. And they give up and then the nervous laughter comes up for me working with people in going. No it's actually really achievable. It's all in your head it's just. How do you approach an attack a problem. How do you ask yourself the right questions in your mind to set up the foundation for what you're going to talk about. That was a light bulb moment for him in one session right the rest of became so much easier because he understood that it wasn't just about preparing the answers it was it was about what what what's the root of the problem that i'm trying to solve here. And how do. I actually prompt myself in future to get to injury. Answer that i can stand behind and celebrate my skills so that that's always been a very memorable one for me because we really saw that progression in a very short amount of time. That's amazing how much that could change. Someone's someone's whole life only with jobs but approaching it similarly with social situations one hundred percent. I sometimes like to think that it's not just about developing skills. But it's also about empowering somebody to understand that they have the goods to talk to people or to really highlight their interests or you know. Be a friendly colleague. It's not just about your voice or how you say it or what you say it. It's how you feel and to loop back to what you're talking about if you feel confident and you know that you can approach something light speaking to strangers. That's naturally come out and people are going to resonate with that. So yeah i i think it's. It's a pretty cool process for me to guide people through that and adapt the way that i kind of help people as well because everyone's going to have unique needs and keeps me very stimulated keeps me learning could be an interesting secondary promotion angle like okay. We can do careers but also this could help you at life right one. One day one day. I actually have really big dreams of not only thinking about the content in which i offering but also thinking about how to leverage technology in new ways in the industry. A lot of what we see today in. Let's say public speaking training is all about. Here's my powerpoint or here's my hand out and walk you through it and maybe we'll do a couple activities and i subscribe to that it's very interactive it superfund and it gets people practicing the skills that they need to learn. But what if we could actually amplify the effect by using technology. I'll give you a simple example. Let's say right now. I want to help people. With i contact a group of folks with i contact and pre covid times if i were doing a workshop i would ask volunteer to step out of the room and i'll talk to the rest of their group and say listen when this person comes back into the room and gives a speech about whatever it is that they've chosen to talk about. I want you to notice if they look at you and if they do at the end i want you to raise your hand. What if instead of relying on the participants to raise their hand at the end every single time they feel like they've had meaningful. I contact they go on an app and they press a button and at the end of it we generate a heat map so the person knows where the blind spots are and can get a digital version of that so that in future they know where their their patterns are. How much more powerful would that be so thinking about how to use technology and a really smart way. I think could be the future. And we're starting to see some of in the industry people using vr for practicing so that they can reduce public. Speaking zaidi filler were counters. Things like that. But i think we can take it so that we're actually enhancing the learning experience as well and not just about you know reduction or about changing habits necessarily while that would be really interesting. Granular approach the heat map yet. You could identify if there's parts of the room that the speaker never looks. Maybe they they are allergic to that direction or there was a really ugly person sitting there. I i don't know. I mean there are patterns..

"More special content And lean on the idea that hey. This is my area of expertise. I'm just giving you what i know. And we've been getting a lot more contacts and people who are interested in hearing more about what it is that i have to say So the last year so has been not in the offshoot byproduct of that is also our seo on. Our website has gotten stronger because as well so a year and a half ago if you searched interview coach toronto except for never came up. Now we're actually showing up. So i'm very proud of accomplishment in the coming year. I think i'm gonna continue to double down on that. Maybe play around with some paid promotions but also do some more partnerships and working with some really cool companies to to co brand certain assets to do more video content with other people and you know just tap into other networks that i know is there and start building a community or a tribe of people that are interested in what it is that i have to offer. There is a lot opportunity for content creation. That's for sure. Youtube channel a podcast. So many things you can do i agree. It's it's endless because there's so many different avenues angles that we can look out when when it comes to being and career communications. The challenge with it is how do you differentiate yourself from the thousands of how do you answer. Tell me about yourself or you know. The land job is three easy steps and really making it. A valuable resource that cuts through some of the noise. And that's the challenge. Yeah have you figured out. Any ideas of how to differentiate yourself from those other people. I guess i always go back to my roots of what i would like to see and this type of content. I been investing a lot more time into thinking about how to leverage research in this area because it's one thing to see tips and tricks about the job search or giving feedback or how to speak. It's another to say this is what the research suggests. And this is why you should be doing this. And giving people a more compelling reason above and beyond just because i'm an expert and you should listen to me which i think a lot of coaches and and people industry can easily fall into and i'm guilty of that as wall. I don't back everything with research. Some of it is anecdotal. So i'm trying to explore doing that. And almost busting some of the myths that exist in public speaking or career. As an example of that is filler words we obsess over the use of comes and other filler words that we use and i challenged by saying is it actually that bad and so i did a really deep dive into the studies to say. Well actually there's a threshold and for how many filler words we can use before people really start to take notice and stop drowning it out as part of normal speech that to me is a new angle that nobody talks about very often if at all and if you do have this problem. Here's three research driven ways for you to be able to slowly and incrementally get better and to slowly remove it so not to me has really cut through and has landed really well with the people that are part of my larger target audience. Now i think about it. Anybody i've ever heard about giving speaking advice. Always demonize filler words completely. But it is a natural part of speech. So as long as you're not overdoing it. Yeah i don't see the harm exactly even technology You know there's certain podcasts editing softwares that i was looking at you know they have automatically remove all of your filler words. This is what people believed to be a crutch but to me. I didn't know i didn't know you could do that. Automatically with software because sometimes it's kind of tied into what you're saying. Sometimes you might say this that but if you say like this that you know if like sometimes i'm kind of blends into the next word so i wonder how they deal with that. I'll still looking at that. Because is i'll edit out a lot of But if it blends into the next word kind of i'll just leave it in there. Otherwise it'll just be choppy and weird sounding. No that makes sense that makes total sense and at some point it does benefit from just eliminating them and removing them. And i've worked really hard over the last little bit to also be very cognizant mindful of the words that i use that might not land with people but yeah i think there's a there's a middle ground as to how technology can solve for that. I'm not sure either. And i can see myself playing around with that and maybe doing more of a hybrid approach like what you're talking about if it gets distracting But yeah that's a really interesting example of how we can still generate content differentiate and land with people because that's been a very popular article for for people to look at it and go. Oh i never thought of it that way. By the way i did. Google interview coach toronto on my other screen. And you are the second result nailed. It pretty good. I'm not not not at all. i'd say. Second result for anything as really impressive so he came as a surprise to me as well so it just goes to the testament like i obviously did a little bit of of content for my own job previously but my exposure to it is pretty limited for all compared to other experts. That are out there. You can do it right as somebody that is doing. Maybe a project or exploring a new venture on the side. You can do it on your own. You just have to be strategic and be okay with the fact that for the first little that it's going to suck and no one's going to read your stuff and you just have to push it and continue our number one.

"My greatest weakness was i was not able to do what you said in taking what you've contributed and framing in a really positive away and saying here's why here's what and why. I'm going to continue doing this stuff for the future. you know. it's like a lot of a lot of selling yourself. And that's something i wasn't really great at even though i was i was finding my actual job. Yeah absolutely and a big part of what they think. We don't think about as job seekers or even just as professionals in general is how do you set up a structure for yourself to actually build these stories when the time is right we think of our job search starting when we're out of a job or more interested in maybe making a move and we backtracking. Okay so what do i want to celebrate. What am i proud of. And chances are you're not going to remember the smaller stories that might be really relevant to whatever job you're interested in next but you lose the details in the process so how you proactively think about jotting down those stories. What tools do you use. What was the context. What impacted you have. How did it make you feel. What did you learn. Start drying these down more incrementally and more consistently so that when the time is right you can lean on those experiences again and really then you'll feel more confident because you have almost a portfolio of things that you can be proud of men. That is an amazing idea. Because even when. I did stuff that was that was proud of three months later. I would remember it but i wouldn't remember all the details that i wanted to remember so then even when i try to use those things as a selling point. It didn't sound as strong because i didn't have all the details written out. Yeah no absolutely and conserve so many different purposes in my mind. Not only is it great for these types of moments but you can also start identifying trends. What are the things that you're most proud of after a year's worth of work. And how does that inform your next move and what you want to apply to. Or what you want to be known for in networking sessions. These are all really really important lessons to take away for sure. Are these some of the skills you used to secure a director of customer customer success success i was thinking satisfaction but i i knew that wasn't the right word. Success director customer success. Did you use some of these skills that you learned to secure that kind of position or was that something you already had before you start this whole thing. No i climbed a ladder just like everybody else. And to be frank i actually had a pretty unique journey to getting to being director of customer success. I actually started my career as a technical writer. For a educational learning management systems software company and that was fun and i learned a lot from how to talk to an customers and how to really relate to people that maybe is unfamiliar waste technology or any concepts that you're talking about so lean into a lot of the skulls already had just in a different context and then i moved into instruction i did teaching for a little bit and then finally made the jump into customer success in that realm i was mostly helping other businesses with their content strategy so i was in marketing technology and then eventually now i work for inc box which is a direct to consumer company also in the capacity of customer success. So you know my journey has been all over the place but when you take a step back and you look at the key skills that i've developed over my career. And what are the common threads. Communications being able to develop really strong relationships with people explaining things clearly and really just having a passion for a kick ass customer experience or an interactive experience. If you can take it a step higher and say these are the skills that i have. And this is why it applies. That's how you can make these types of transitions and still elevate your career progression that i think a lot of people chase after with this company that he started. It's it's still. It's still not your main day job. It seems like a side hustle as you described it even though it seems very established. How'd you manage that time. You have a full on day job. How do you. How do you manage your time so that you still have all the time and resources for this other business. It's been a rocky journey to say. The very least i had ebbs and flows in my ability to commit time and resources into what i do at extend pro. That's the that's the reality of it. But what i found to be really successful is setting really granular goals for myself and being committed to really finding time to do it. If it's like wine weekend day and two after office hour days that i go and tackle these tasks and creating the cadence for myself. That's been immensely helpful. The other side of it is i kind of lucked out. Insofar as working with job seekers oftentimes. They already have a job as well. So i have a lot of opportunities to be flexible and actually meet people after office hours on weekends as well and that has worked out really well for me and then the last thing i would say is i found a company that has been very open to the idea that i'll be doing things outside of work and so long as i move forward and still achieving all the goals i want. They've been really open and happy by the fact that they haven't innovative and somebody that wants to hustle and the company so yeah. That's kind of how. I've been managing it. How did these professionals find extent. Bre like what do you do to promote the business. I'm trying also figure out where the company is in your in your growth whether you're whether people are now coming to you at nowhere if you're doing active promotions that people respond to what i was first building for a lot of it was through word of mouth referrals. I would do a large workshop for an organization and then we would get referrals from them and that really was our pipeline for for a really long time over the last year or two. I've been spending a lot more of my time dedicated to.

"You can sing the website while you're typing it in. I'm anthony salvanto. And this is marco yelm what's up. Oh not much just getting the new year. Start ed and you know first. Quarter of the year is usually super fun because you get to plan out. What the next year looks. Like and start. Starring some goals you know. So what kind of goes are you looking at well professionally. I have some interesting goals to actually start my own podcast. So i'm really excited to be here and hopefully we'll learn a singer to from you as well. Yeah i'll pretend like a super podcasting expert. Are you not all right. Well i mean. I've only been doing it since august or so. Listen that's a couple months. More than what i have under my belt. So i'll i'll still learn something. I'm sure we'll do you have something started already or is it something. You're still working on getting started. I've started securing some guests for the first season of extemporaneously which will be the new podcast and still working through all the details on the recordings and figuring out what types of topics people are most interested in. So yeah really excited to dive had deepened to that in a little bit. Do you have a particular theme for the podcast or whatever. You're feeling i think to give you some context. I actually run a company called extent. Fra and it's a communications training company. That's really focused on helping. Young professionals learn how to speak with confidence and credibility in the workplace whether that's an interview setting or if you know. They're recently promoted to be a manager and they have to give feedback for the first time and over the last couple of years i realized that a lot of my content was tips and tricks how to do this how to do that. And i love the practical pragmatic stuff. But the reality of communications is that it doesn't always follow the same progression. There's no cookie cutter template for anything and so the podcast will really be more around. Helping people understand different career stories and what has really worked for people on the field. Maybe if they're searching for a job and kind of rounds out my content a little bit so it's not just the but it also. Has you know real life stories. That i think a lot of people would resonate with so you are a career focused communications expert. That's a part of what i do. Yeah it's a passion project of mine that i've been doing initially for free and then a couple years back i woke up and was like why am i not charging money for the types of services that i'm offering to people and so that's how extent started but i'm kind of in my day job. I actually work for a company called ink box. And i'm the director of success there. So this whole communication things started out as a side passion that you started studying essentially. Yeah i it. Takes me back to my undergraduate days when i was still in university I was leading a public speaking club there for a couple years and they had a specific template for how to actually develop your your speaking skills and much like what i talked about earlier. What i noticed was that it was this cookie cutter progression. Right do this. And then you'll achieve this do this and you'll achieve that and the reality is nobody was encouraged to look at their own speaking skills and say what are my assets. And how do. I make those shine and not just focus on the weaknesses. And so i started developing these workshops all around helping people understand the different elements of someone speaking style. And then. how do you really amplify that to meet the context in which you're presenting and so that's how everything started as a passion project and you know as i said over the last couple of years things have really started to shift for me. I focused a little bit more on the the practical applications of public speaking. Whether that's an interview how to sell yourself networking sessions or as you know how to raise your voice in a boardroom. So that's That's a really high level overview of how i develop extemporised to what it is today. You're actually right about that when it comes to public speaking courses it's usually a group of people and you're right it is more of a one size fits all so it's very creative that you came up with something that tailors to everyone's individual strengths and weaknesses. Yeah i think it's really really easy for somebody to get sucked into that right. We see so much of a specific speaking style in the world stage or In in particular context celebrities and we aspire to be that and often we forget that the reason why we love oh speakers is because they've really honed in on what really works for them. The reality is not everyone is going to be a super animated speaker. Not everyone's going to be the number one storyteller out there but if you know for example that you're maybe a phd student and you can build credibility like nobody else just by being super informative. Why wouldn't you lean into that. And so that's really the dna of what i do regardless of the context in which you're speaking speaking of celebrities speaking how much of that is confidence because if you're a very successful person in everyone knows you're very successful than does that give them more of a certain gravitas to their speaking style. Because they know they're awesome. Absolutely i think when you think about historical understanding of rhetoric. It's broken down into your three parts right. You have your logic. You have your credibility that you bill and then you also learn how to really build out of bond with people and when you can really align those three things together than that's when you can really shine as speaker and celebrities obviously pacific gravitas. Because they they know what they're doing and they have a brand already but that doesn't mean that somebody who isn't a celebrity can't shine as the speaker. I speak with students all the time and one of the biggest worries for them as well. What value do i have to add in a networking session or in an interview. How do i sell myself. And it's that lack of confidence to say. No what i did or what i learned in school can still be something. That's impact moment. It's just how do you frame that conversation. And what details do you want to include to really help you shine. And that's oftentimes the missing piece. It's not that students don't have value. It's i did this product. This is the impact that i was able to have. And here's what i learned and this is why i'm so excited to continue exploring that dot itself is so much better than well. I don't really have any experience. So it's that framing and what you choose to share that's to me most important that resonates a bit with me because as a software engineer who has had a software engineering job for a while in the past.
