"Com, where you have over a hundred guest writers from all sorts of industries in all sorts of topics, demonstrating that maverick leadership can live everywhere. It's not, it's not something that is a leadership only topic. I love that you are involved in so many things. So I am curious, what are you working on now? You can share with the audience. Okay, so I've been doing a lot of mentoring around how to amplify your influence whether you are a business owner or whether you are within an organization. So it's looking at the four components of influence, capability, decisiveness, power, and impact. And we work across those so that if you're a business owner, you're attracting the right clients and growing your business and if you're in an organization, you're becoming better at stakeholder leadership, being able to influence your peers, how to move forward. And one of the things that I've done to help people is interested in knowing what they could do to amplify their influence if they're not quite ready to work with me yet, is that I have an actual scorecard which can be found at amplify your influence dot score app dot com and you just takes 5 minutes to complete a series of questions and then it will give you a score on the very component and then a list depending on your score.

"Put all pieces together and integrated step by step. How can you empower how can somebody in power themselves when they are low? To remember on all the great things they have already achieved and if someone is like in a depressive state, it's oftentimes very hard to remember what went right. We tend to remember everything which went wrong. And then to go back and to acknowledge that we all have learned to sit to go and when we were babies that were very great achievements, then and to acknowledge it and then to go further, but halfway achieved in the child, which was really great. And maybe we can connect it and remember the great feelings and situations we had faced Dan. And to concentrate the focus on what went good will change the focus in the present as well. Okay, so Frank and someone stopped the inner critic inside them. First of all, it's a decision. So we have to decide that we want to stop it and then being aware, we have to be like a little observer and watching how we are doing what we are thinking, what we are feeling and just playing with this observer role will give you will give us a totally different perspective on the situation. And then with the decision that we want to put it into another direction, we can stop the inner critic by saying stop and we can use our body language also to stop it and then pause think of what we want and then going through it. You make it sound so easy Andrea. It really is easy, but often times, but I have to say that. I believe the greatest challenge in human development by being our own observer and I learned that if we write it down on a regular basis, we can monitor each much, much easier because we have a lot of thoughts every day. And by writing it down, we can monetize just easier. And being persistent in this observer role. It's also just a decision and then just doing it. But oftentimes we are not doing it. Yeah, and how do you navigate it when other people are adding to that inner critic and saying that it's just not possible for X, you know? You just can not do this. How do you other people? Just one person on this planet who has achieved it. And if there is one person on this planet who has achieved it, so why can not achieve it? Before we wrap up for the day, what should I have argued to you that I didn't in which case then you can say it now? So I just want to repeat the message again because I said already because I believe that it is the most powerful message I can share with the world. And it's become and be your best observer. Have a look on the things you like, but also you don't like and it will change your life. Brilliant, that's so that's so good. Thank you so much for coming on the show Andrea.

Voyager Digital Faces FTC Probe Over 'Deceptive' Crypto Marketing
"According to a new legal filing from the Federal Trade Commission, there's an investigation into Voyager digital and how they marketed their cryptocurrency project. Of course, Voyager digital declared a chapter 11 bankruptcy over the summer months. That was part of the spew of the fallout from three hours capital. They later sold their chapter 11 bankruptcy claims to FTX, which then itself went into chapter 11, and now we have this investigation, also this morning we have new headline that binance U.S. has been affirmed and is likely to win the final chapter 11 assets from this whole contagion with Voyager. So we kind of get a resolution there. That being said, this FTC investigation is now open and they're going to look into the directors, the officers, the marketing of the firm that got them into this position in the first place. It's really feels like a story for Jenny got to throw your way. There's a lot of marketing and crypto. There's a lot of marketing out there that Gary gensler and SEC boys would not love. But it's probably how you went out in this ecosystem. Want to get your take on it? Yeah, so this is all about this bankruptcy case, right? What the FTC is saying is that if Voyager is sold, which it looks like it is going to be to Biden's U.S., all of these marketing claims shouldn't go away and I think I agree with them. I just want to remind our audience. So there is a class action lawsuit in South Florida, and it's against Mark Cuban and the Dallas Mavericks and the claims are that Voyager falsely marketed the platform as a 100% commission free, falsely represented Voyager as insured by the FDIC and failed to disclose the nature scope and amount of compensation celebrities received in exchange for promotion. I don't think that the executives and the company should not be held liable for those things. If it's found that these allegations are true, and I guess my next question is, is if the sale goes through and binance U.S. does acquire Voyager digital, do they acquire these lawsuits as well? It seems like the FTC wants them to and I wonder if that's going to affect the sale, but I think that all marketers in crypto should be looking at this with a magnifying glass and taking a look at your marketing strategy. You should understand how the business works. If you're making claims that there are things like FDIC insurance and it comes out in your copy and your marketing, you are partially responsible for that

"Fantastic. Brilliant. I think that's a good place to end is do you want to share a tip or words with the audience around empathetic leadership? Yes, I would love to. So the most important aspect of empathy really is listening. In listening is actively done when the other person recognizes it. And recognizes because that means to them that you hear them, you value them, you want to understand what they have to say. Again, you do not have to agree with what they say. But the more you listen and the more you understand their perspective, the better the interaction will be, the more information that you will have to check your assumptions and withholding judgments so that you can it's hard to really hear someone. If you are making assumptions and you're making judgments, we need our judgments. We need update assumptions and all kinds of situations. But to have a productive interaction in business, the more that you can actually really actively listen and again, the same will as you as a leader are modeling that behavior, it will have people on the in your team and your superiors. Whatever level you're at will listen more as well. And he respecting and hearing what you have to say. And that builds trust to build respect. And it goes a long way to changing overall dynamics.

The Maverick Paradox Podcast
"maverick" Discussed on The Maverick Paradox Podcast
"Often comes a lack of direction as to where someone wants to be or how far they want to go. How do you do something? If you don't know what the parameters are. And it's almost like if we're going to, you're going to know that there is a box, the step out of the box. Otherwise see that I think that's the danger of extreme mavericks, because I think all mavericks are pushing against some sort of wall to see where it is. And then they make fun of my bricks will decide whether they're going to step over that wall or not. And I think if it's extreme mavericks where they're just allowed to do what they want, because maybe they manipulate people, dominate people, timber people. They're still looking for the boundaries, but people are too frightened to put them there. So they become worse and worse and worse because they're waiting for someone to stay stuck. And it's not being said. So everyone think out the book. Is it possible that anyone can do it? Yes. So my belief is yes. As I said a bit earlier in our conversation, I'm a big believer that everyone should have a chance to innovate, be creative, think outside the box, call it how everyone. That does not mean that everybody has to do that. And the ability for everybody to have an opportunity to do it doesn't mean that everybody is going to be equally good at it or that everybody has the same potential. But to me, that is a very different, you know, this too are very different things. And that is why I always say, if you're doing, let's call it innovation challenge or call for ideas or something like that. Don't forget people to participate. Anyone can bring forward an idea. It will be different. It will be written from there, standpoint from their life experience, why judged it? When we start working on the ideas, again, then it starts being something else, but the short answer for me is, yes, I believe everyone can think outside of the box. Even those that had it beaten out of themselves through the education system or the life experience, but those made me a little bit of help. Someone to nudge them gently someone to coach them in that direction, someone to help them out a little bit to think things differently and to express themselves. Because I also observed that people after some time, they lose confidence in expressing what they think. Okay, that makes sense. And I think it's almost a good place to stop. So before we end the podcast, can you share how someone can become more creative? So maybe you've just said that everyone has the possibility, the ability to think out the box and it's clear that not everyone does this, especially in the corporate space. So could you tell us either or both how a leader can encourage that or even if you haven't got that encouragement? How can you as an individual become more creative? Okay, try to decide that in a very short answer. So let's start, let's start from creativity about an idea or something like that. The easiest way to start is with things that already exist. And what is the most important and the most trivial thing is to learn how to discard your ideas. If you learn that, the creativity will fall. What I mean by that is to listen. If you have an idea right now, just grab a piece of paper and try to write it down, try to draw it, and when I say write it down, you don't need to describe it. You can write the poem or express how everyone. But try to pour that from your head on a piece of paper. And when you've done that, you created something very important. The unit and I discussed earlier in this podcast. You have created a tangible artifact of your idea. And now you, you, the innovator can go hard on that artifact. You can critique it. You can question it, have a conversation with it, and you can throw it away so you can create the next version, and next iteration. And just keep doing that. And creativity will follow. Whenever you get stuck, just look around yourself. What is your neighbor doing? What's in your fridge? That's a great thing. If you don't have any menu in your head and you think what I today, if you can go to your fridge and figure out what we're going to cook for yourself and your family, that's all the creativity you need. Thank you so much. Thank you the same approach, do your idea. Okay, that is small exercise for creativity for anyone. Now for the leaders. As I said, the most important challenge during most important job as the leader is to create a focal point. It doesn't matter if you have 10,000 creative employees, if they're all innovative, in 10,000 different directions. It's your job to communicate clearly to them this, this is the direction we want to focus our creative energy. Build strategy with whatever and keep it as simple as possible. I think I'll stop here. Short, short. Is it ten hours on that? Well, you know what? I'll have to get you to come back actually. I've really enjoyed this conversation, which I come back. Why not? Bruno, that's fantastic, thank you so much. Judith, so happy to be here. And I hope that whoever listened this tries at least at least one thing that you and I discussed in this call.

"It's an incredibly clear picture. For me. So I have nothing further to challenge on that. I guess we're good. Now the thing that's popping in my head right now that just I would want to know if I'm listening to this. Is what is the. Best way if you are, because for many of our listeners, not a maverick, potentially. And that's fine. That's absolutely okay. We need all in our environment. But to help a person who maybe isn't a maverick who works with a maverick to recognize and see those things that can help them identify, hey, this is a socialized maverick. This is a maverick who is, this is a person who is actually working for the greater good and let me reframe my mind instead of thinking that this person is just an absolute kook or a jerk and start reframing to see or better understand and not be emotionally withdrawn or combative, not combative because usually they're not. But are you tracking with me here? Just so for our listeners who are saying, you know, I work with somebody who just rubs me the wrong way, but stuff gets done. They seem like a generally good person, but I just rubs me the wrong way. What's the best way to start to be more receptive, more open to being a part of that sphere, if it truly is a maverick who's coming at the right way? Okay, that's a good question. I would say the best way and probably the only way to get a maverick to move is to find a compelling reason to do so. So that's compelling to them not compelling to you. Right. So I think, for example, supposing you have that kind of rough around the 80s maverick and you work and you're the manager. And you approach them and say, look, Devin, you have to stop speaking to Jane in that way because she keeps crying every

How do I keep how do I do more of this? Well, other than reading my book, which by the way, Amazon, is that the best place for our audience to go grab the book? Yes it is. It is. It's called the maverick paradox. The secret power behind successful leaders. And the book highlights the different types of individuals that's for main types. And it looks at the how mavericks ticking away. So what is their strategy? How do they utilize power what actually puts they have, what capabilities they have and it's kind of story based speak surprise. It's conversationally written. So it's almost as if I'm standing there just going, hey, so let me tell you this thing. It's written like that, so it's an easy read, but we uncovered leadership and leadership love not just of this time, but leadership all time. So I mean, I know you've done a lot around this area and if you look in the last hundred years and you can name any leadership theory and you know which decade it belongs to. Yeah, absolutely. We've got a long way. Well, actually, have we gone away from the Gregor X and Y three. I'm not too sure. It's coming, but it's coming back. But it's kind of where is this? I say maverick driven leadership is all about who you are and what you do. And because a lot of people see leadership as what you do to somebody. I'm a great leader because I make them do X or as I would and all people say I'm a great leader because people love me. They do, as I say. But it's not just

"There's too many people under the lie for it to be fair. So social fabric is all about fairness for all as opposed to Venice for me. All right, so now that Jude has taken us through that and you're listening here and hopefully still have your AirPods and you're going, all right. So I fancied myself the socialized maverick and this is what I do. I build leaders because I want leaders to lead more people to more outstanding outcomes. But what is it that as a socialized maverick or somebody who sees themselves as a socialized maverick, what's something that our listeners should be on the lookout for in others as potential mavericks, like early mavericks that they can shape one direction or the other, meaning that they can identify something now in a junior person to help make sure that they go down the socialized maverick path rather than be left to their own devices and possibly go the other direction. That's interesting. Good question. I would say because you can, once you can't create mavericks per se, you can create maverick behavior in the workplace. And I think if you looked at the capabilities of mavericks, which I've called Keystone, to one of the things that mavericks, socialized memories, have a lot of knowledge. And when I say knowledge, what normally happens is, let's give an example. Suppose in somebody's in HR. And they are a good HR specialist. So they know law and employ relations with union rights and all this kind of stuff. You'd expect that. You expect to competent hate to our person to do that. But what a socialized maverick or the right maverick behavior would do would say, what is it about my job? Where does it hit next? So they might say, okay, I know HR really well. But I need to know ops because that's what's driving the business. So then that person will then understand it. I mean, they look again and say, maybe by finance. So what happened? So you go from being a specialist in their subject to somebody who becomes specialist in other subjects. So they become much more knowledgeable in the organization so they can have better connections or they can really add value. So one of the things would be is to increase knowledge beyond your function and deepness, not just sharing knowledge, but deep knowledge because then you can be more creative or innovative and add more value to an organization. The next thing would be emotional awareness.

"Oh my goodness. So here's what I'm envisioning right now. I'm envisioning right now. Just a bunch of folks with their AirPods in, listening to this and going, okay, so this is me. You guys are talking about me. So I've had some of these challenges. I've had some of these problems. I've had some of the successes as a result, but man, how do I, how do I operate in this socialized maverick manner more consistently more frequently? So I don't have those rogue moments or those moments that tend to have the room. So what do you say to that? Because it's right in your Wheelhouse. Well, I think there is that I talk about the maverick continuum. And in terms of the journey and you have the economic extreme maverick behavior. So all mavericks have the same core, so they still have wolf of intention, they still execution driven and all this kind of stuff. The difference as I said is one of moral character, one will work outside of themselves one will work only for themselves. So if you take loyalty, for example, a socialised maverick will be loyal to you and expect loyalty back and extreme maverick expects loyalty from you, but will not give it back because you are disposable to them. So they will look at manipulation as compared to influence with the socialized maverick. Interesting because I'm thinking about the political system here in the United States. That's a visible leadership role. It's visible to everybody who pays attention. And just looking at over the course of the last, let's just call it decade in the United States. Thinking about the different folks over that time hoop occupied the office. And the way that they've conducted themselves, I imagine you have to be kind of a maverick to end up as a chief executive of a country.

"Oh, isn't that the truth? And it's really perplexing, because it's like, but why not? I don't mind if someone tells me I'm rubbish, because I can learn something new. That's cool. So the capability respected him, I then went on this journey of learning if I want to achieve something. How do I still get that thing without upsetting people on the way? So then I looked at the behaviors I looked at persuasion and how people feel. And of course, when you do that, you change yourself. So you don't go into change yourself, but you end up changing yourself. So I eventually left that organization that went to a couple of career changes. And then made the realization that I understood mavericks really well. The people that people couldn't get on with the ones that played devil's advocate really changing people and I couldn't understand why people just didn't understand their point of view. And that's one of somebody said to me because it's your maverick too. You need to come out as a maverick. And I was like, oh. Yeah, yeah. And I ended up leaving a corporate life to set up my own business. Which we originally began with working just with mavericks, but now as expended around helping other people develop maverick traits and personal strategy so that they can also be successful in work. That's fantastic. And at 17 how bold to have the thoughts you had and how amazing that you had somebody who could connect with you in a way that you went aha, got it. All right, let me work on this. Let's see what this is all about. Because what a great journey it's been since that moment. To not only for yourself, but to impact so many other people. That's the thing. I think socialized fabrics is all about working for the greater good. So you really are looking about what is it that I know that other people can grow from? Or I understand what that person is going through. Because one of the things we've maverick is that the very they see people's weaknesses and vulnerabilities very, very easily, very, very quickly, but I can see behind the mask. And the socialized maverick will then help to empower that person past that. Whereas an extreme maverick will use that vulnerability for their own goods. Got it. So socialized maverick working for the greater good, extreme maverick, maybe some

But what it means to find, create, and build belonging. And there are some really hard charging, crazy motivated individuals who just get stuff done out there. And that's what this week's conversation is about is how do you be that hard charging a type maverick personality and still build that consensus, that sense of belonging, how do you understand the dynamics of people and apply that to your work? This week, I was so honored. And I'm really, really feel blessed that we get to share in this together. This conversation really left me inspired. And I know it will you. So please join me in welcoming to the show. Judith Jermaine. So, Jude, welcome to the blogging factor podcast. It is so fantastic to have you here. Hi, I'm looking forward to this. Yeah, so we had a great opportunity to exchange some ideas on your podcast, the maverick paradox, which is very exciting, and I definitely want all of our listeners to go check out your show as well, because it is a fantastic show. But in addition to hosting that show, I mean, I just read down in your bio, all of the things that you've got your hands into and all the work that you've done. But congratulations on the book. Congratulations on the work you're doing. Why don't you give a little bit of a background to our listeners about your journey of what got you to where you're at today? Oh, okay. First of all, it makes sense for me to let you know my definition for a maverick. So since 2005, I've been calling mavericks wolfley independent people. And my journey to working with them is a bit of a poacher turned hunter in the sense that I was that maverick still am in the organizations and I started off when I was 17 in an insurance company and I remember my manager who turned out to be socialized my trusted a lot saying to me at that time. You know what? I'm never going to promote you dude. And I was actually horrified. And I said, what are you all about? I'm the best person who got remember was 17. And he said, yeah, because the problem with you is you're really going to what you're doing, but you upset people. And when you upset that they get their upset for a couple of days and have to spend a couple of days sorting them out. And I said, oh, but they were right though because, you know, they get over it. And I honestly had no concept because I was still popular. I still had tons of Friends. And the very people that were upset still liked me afterwards after they'd been, you know, loved by the manager. And so I honestly had no concept because as a maverick, if somebody said to you, am I good at my job? And you wasn't, and they said, no, you're rubbish. My response would be, wow. What do I need to do to improve? I wouldn't be upset about it. It would be just data for me to post there. So that's kind of brutal, honesty. If something has a maverick, you have to learn to understand that other people don't like that.

"Silly. I was going to say, Einstein. I think those three. I think really interesting conversation would come. Because. Einstein, they feel like he had disposed in this, so I was thinking he would think. So obviously he's intelligent, but I think he would say things in quite a different way. And then I think the Obama's are very kind of like the socialized members. They like to all about change, but it's all about the greater good. And they're quite objective. And Stephen King I did actually meet Steven king a years ago, I really love his work. And for hours to meet him at some book signing in London. So I think I was number 6 in the queue. I think it was that fun to look in the morning or something. And because we were really early when we went to meeting, we actually had quite a lot each person had a really long conversation before the bookshop said angle to set you mister king. You've got like thousands of people on the side you can't talk for 20 minutes for each person. And I remember going to listening to him in the web or where he did a reading and he kind of made up this story and I can't remember but I remember it was something like he'd made up this story where all these things had happened when you got onto the tube. And when he finished everyone sat there and nobody wanted to get up, it already remember that it was too scared to go. And people were going this chief station you're going to walk back with you because everyone was just it actually scared us all silly. And then he was like, okay, I'm off now and we were like, we'll just sit here now because we're too spiking to get out. Some people just haven't ordered and they have an authority and a gravitas to hold of them. I'd say it's amazing. I'd love to have been a natural advertise in Stephen King, it must have been a phenomenal experience. We're kind of leads us in nicely. We're talking about one author to another.

The L and D podcast final questions to help listeners engage, learn and perform. Can you tell us a little bit more about what this book is all about? Well, this book looks at how leadership works. And I looked at mavericks and thought mavericks are fantastic leaders, even the extreme ones, except for they don't leave for the good. And how does a socialized maverick manage to lead really well? So I looked at the essence of the Mavericks and the different types and the different types of people. I looked at their attributes, the strategies that use and also things like utilizing power. So I was thinking to myself, if I had to train someone to be a leader, what are the key things I'd want them to know. So I'd want them to know how to utilize power, I want them, I want them to have certain capabilities. I'd want them to be able to work for the greater good, and I want them to be able to think in a way that enables change to happen and change happen well. So that's what the book's about, really, is what is it? And I think what's the power behind leaders, I think, is that paradox. And the paradox of the maverick is the maverick gets hired to put in rapid change. You know, something's not working. Bring them over to get them to fix it. Problem is especially if the Mavericks has done this a number of times. Yes, they do it very, very quickly. Once they fix the problem with they hide for, they go around like little drones trying to find other problems to fix. But the problem with that is that you're now walking to other people's departments and go, you know why this is not selling. You know why this isn't working. And that upsets people and then people start to pull away the power so you hire them every to fix it and then eventually you start to dismantle what they've put up to take the power away from them. I reckon it can cause a lot of problems. You talk as well about in your book about 5 maverick attributes that all in quotation marks natural leaders would possess. So what would those, what would those 5 Mavic attributes be? I think we briefly talked about it before. One of them would be the willful intention. So every, if I'm going to do something, I'm going to do it regardless of how you feel about it. You have an honest belief. So when the sofa maverick is arguing about something, because they obviously believe it to be true. They're not playing games. So quite often, socialized mavericks will be a devil's advocate. But they're doing it to bring out challenge. To be sure is this really, we're going for a, we're going for B, making sure the decision is right and it will certainly not because they don't like you and problems. And they will keep going to the point of losing their job if they believe they are right. So they've got a lot of integrity there. Influential, they can get almost anybody to move. Knowledgeable. And when I say knowledgeable, I mean, this is beyond the knowledge that you would get in a department. So you'd expect them to be an expert in whatever field that's supposed to be doing. And then what a maverick then does or what a good leader would then do is say, what are the things that impact on this? So let's say HR, you have HR to the person in HR role and they know HR. So they're good at how they're strategies. Everything is in HR. And then they look and they say, right, okay. What impacts on HR or what does hope impact on? Okay, it could be on ops. So what you think that we need for ops and then they'll become an expert in operations. And they go okay, then they'll become an expert in something else. And then they can make connections so they become knowledgeable, not just in a wide area, but also deep in those areas. All in the last two and it's all mavericks are execution. That put driven, which basic means, if it isn't going to be done, it's no point in doing it. So they're not a talking shop. So if you have hired a maverick, they want to complete the task that's been set. And they are success driven. So they want to be not necessarily personally successful. They want the project or whatever it is you're doing to be successful. Which is why they can be quite challenging. Is there someone that you would highlight as being a particularly good example that perhaps all I listeners can relate to of who would have all of these 5 attributes, perhaps in the public eye, will go ah, now I get it. That's a really successful, strong, maverick, social maverick leader, if you like, that you would, you know, that people may aspire to be similar to. Is someone out there that kind of ticks all those boxes in the public public eye? Yeah, I think I

"In our simulation. That's a very interesting explanation for a phenomenon that I've noticed is that how annoying a lot of people find very creative people. Yeah. As if very creative people by doing exactly what you just said, kind of doing a mind experiment are deliberately being obstructive and annoying or trying to one up me in front of my peers and so on and so on. I mean, why would one do that if it's not to one up the person in front of their peers? And I think that's the problem because there's so many questions because it's diagnostic, but those questions are seen as challenging. So you're asking, what happens when this happens? And why are you doing it this way? Where is it going? And what was the point? And where's the endgame? And tell me how that goes back to the original plan. And it's like, hang on a second. So when you're a consultant, it's a lot easier because you're paid to come in and answer those questions. But if you're that maverick lead inside an organization, if you don't contextualize it well, that's where the problem is because you'll then see this the challenger or the one that knows so much. And I know from I tend to be able to see the problem and the solution almost exactly at the same time. So I tend to not want to move forward if I've seen a problem in the solution. And when I was in corporate, that was a problem because I was seen as a resistor until I learned how to contextualise it and go, and I say, I think if we did this, well, if you do this, you look at the work. Language is important, right? Language is very important. Now, was there a moment where you suddenly went, oh, what I'm really good at is not so much whatever execution in action or whatever. But rather, what I'm really good at is finding answers to difficult questions to problem solving. Was there a moment in your career? Because you've moved out of corporate into consulting, and I'm curious as to what motivated that change. Okay, so you have two questions there. So I'll start with the last one. What motivated the change was? Because I was head of HR and lots of organizations at a very senior level. And I ended up I used to talk about I would train a responsible adult to run HR and I go play with the leadership team. And that's how I would word it, and that's why you do. Because I enjoyed the strategic change and the real behavioral change. And what prompted me to move out is that I would be hired to fix the HR problem before I got to play. And it just became so easy. It got to the point where something might have taken two years. It was taking three months because I got so good at going. Oh, it's this right. So I was getting bored. So what problems have been the change was that I wanted to do what I wanted to do. And I think most maverick leaders are best at consulting. And if they can find a great organization, they can do that intrapreneur, plural thing..

What the features are on it and what people who had the phone will have access to. So why phone is very simple basic phone but it is not a kids phone. It is safe for kids. But there's a very clear distinction because there have been other people that have made kids phones their colorful and at the end of the day. Kids don't really like them. They've i mean. Big companies have launched kids bones. And they just don't work. I mean you hand a baby a smartphone and a toy phone and i you know which one baby is going to play with and so we designed it to basically appeal to the hipster. You know divisional minimalist crowd. That's the best way to describe it in so it's extremely well designed very apple esque very clean you know the whole interfaces built with two colors so it looks like a normal smartphone but the operating system is completely different. It's a minimalist operating software and in a sense you have just very basic tools. You can call you can text. There's maps there's a camera there's a calculator. there's a flashlight and that's about it. You know there's no what's more important. What's on it is actually. What's not on it. There's no solo entertainment. There's no access to advertising or social media. There's no app store. there's no obviously no pornography. It's just a very basic clean lockdown device. That is a practical tool so kind of like a phone from Used to be it a sense that she can't find anymore. Yeah yeah and can you share some of the some of the specific feedback you've received from customers and users of your products. How has tech lists helped improve the lives of others.

You could install a little out or do some screen time controls in. It's very incremental solution. Wise in you shave wagers screen time. Cut away five percent. Ten percent screen time uses. This is like diving off the deep end but as a result it makes a real life transformation.

Industry only event was the technologist. So i got an invite. And so i show up and the first thing i see is a giant billboard from apple that says what happens on this phone stays on this awhile. I mean. think about what that really means and what happens in vegas stays in vegas. That is dark that a secret that is not a really that's the opposite of holy and and then it realize So i saw that. And then i walked sixty two miles up and down the the las vegas convention center in my two and a half days in. I just got this resounding sense that this tech world the tech industries just hollow. It's shallow there is nothing substantial no. No no one's looking at this from a biblical worldview in. So i think just having a seat at the table being somebody. That's making something that questions. The assumption should pornography beyond this device or not google that questions that yeah no big deal apple to that set. Nobody feel amazon looked at it. There's a number one host important in the world and these guys all just push past it but we're asking some bigger questions and and really starting from the ground and it makes a big difference when it comes to product design yeah. Yeah i'm sure being an innovator in entrepeneurship like what drives product creation is asking the right questions and saying like. Where does this meet need in. What is actually do. And i know several workers probably here listening and even parents go to the practical use. And so i think this will i to really talk about The products specifically so malls skate park seeing congregating outside of a movie theater. You know those aren't really the places you find teenagers anymore. You find them on youtube twitch snapchat tiktok instagram chatting while gaming. There are always exceptions. But that's a general social condition right now so. Accordingly youth workers are being taught how to engage with students online because that's where they usually find students and their friends so my next question is do you feel like checklists serves better as a starting point for kids and teens. I getting a phone or do you feel like it should be focused on pulling teens away from their technically inundated lives you got questions So straight up. I will say the kids that have gotten a a weiss phone which is the the our flagship product for for their first of ice or thrilled. They loved jumping up and down. And i got a phone that kind of phone and the kids that get this after. They've had a smartphone and just like they're very resentful hung so much so that i want to make a.

I'm not saying it's something that you as a parents should consider a. I've just kind of letting you know experience in the past. But i would definitely say if you've got a kid or if you have parents that you're talking with that. Have a kid that they're looking to get a phone man really. That's an a golden window of opportunity to really just double check the cultural assumptions of the world. And say what are we doing. Lean wiry doing it and that that's golden window almost irreversible entitlement to technology. So yeah definitely. Yeah i would agree and i think know when when i first Got in touch with you and your your people and we're looking at your products. I was thinking.
