Still seeing some delays though, as you pass through greenbelt heading toward NASA Goddard and heading on toward powder mill road, once you pass that, you're still in some delays, but unclear the reason for the delays beyond that point as you get closer to powder mill road and clear what's slowing the flow as you go north down toward Laurel.

"Along with the president of ad sales Peter naylor, joining Netflix in September here to tell us more about this Bloomberg's Lucas Shaw. So Lucas, how big a coup is this for Netflix? I mean, look, they took two of the top executives in the digital ad business right now. Peter naylor in particular, the Jeremy Gorman, I believe the more senior at snap, Peter naylor helped build the ad business at Hulu, which other than YouTube is really the biggest digital video ad business in the U.S.. Netflix has spent the past couple of months, if not longer looking for some executives to lead the charge for them as they move into advertising and now they have two really solid people. So at this point, what do we know about Netflix's ad supported tier, how it will compare to Disney's ad supported tier, et cetera? We know that it's going to debut either in the final three months of this year likely. You had a November December or at the very beginning of next year. My reporting has suggested that it will cost about half as much as the basic Netflix tier, so think like 8 bucks 9 bucks. There will be advertising in some programming, but not all, not advertising in kids programming, at least not at first, not advertising a new movies. And they'll be ads before and during some programs, but not after and they're aiming for about four minutes of advertising per hour. You brought up Disney. The Netflix Disney and like HBO Max is aiming for a low advertising load and they can charge a lot for those advertisements. They don't want to have much more than four minutes per hour. If they don't want to make it uncomfortable for the viewers, that's much easier said than done, and we'll have a better sense of what this looks and feels like when these services come out at the end of the year.

You're this. Or you're that. When I look at it and I say, I just made the most of that one opportunity that somebody gave me and I just took off and ran with it. My job is to now show that show people minorities, women and anybody that wants a real shot, this is what you do with it. This is how you steward it, and this is how you make it expand. And that is the conversation that I have with people that are looking to excel or that don't believe they can do it. That's the whole reason why I start with mindset rather than metrics and performance because I want you to think that regardless of what you look like, it is all possible. That it is all possible. Now am I saying I'm the best that's ever done? No, but I am saying that everybody deserves a fair shot. A fair and intentional shuttle on getting to the top. Am I at the top far from it?

For one reason or another. So do I still think it happens? Yes. So I happen to work for a great organization now that's owned by two minorities and that are giving opportunity. We were in our training class yesterday. It was nice to look around the room. We have a GSM that's female, spanning. We have African Americans called the whole room was the melting pot of should look like. And I think too many times because we get comfortable and see what we're used to seeing, so that kind of like inadvertently like alienates a certain group because if we're all used to seeing the cleanse of the world or the Demetrius of the world and we're Friends with those people, then we naturally just kind of don't pull for those people. Right. My thing is, I look at it like this. I call for the most talented, the most qualified, but if I have an opportunity to steward or bring in a personal color or a minority or especially especially a female, I pull them in. You know what I mean? With the right qualifications, but I make sure that I take that opportunity to give back. Right. High position. You know what I mean? Do I alienate one racer over the other?

"There's a lot of conversation about diversity and inclusivity in the workplace. And a lot of people I feel truly think that they're colorblind, meaning they're looking at the individual and saying, doesn't really matter to me. What color race creed? Any of that, can you deliver for my team and help my team be successful? But they're also a lot of struggles with this and as much as many people think they're doing a great job. We're still talking about that today. Well, my guest today Demetrius naylor was a marine. And now he is a general manager of an auto dealership. And he talks about his journey as an African American man coming out of the military and all of his journey where, as he said, you can not like me for the color of my skin, but I'm going to outwork everyone so much that you can't ignore me. And as he always says, work is the true delineation or your superpower to stand out because there are so many opportunities. And I want you to listen to this conversation. It's really impactful.

So for you over your career coming into automotive and over the years from leaving the military, where. From my understanding, I did not serve, but military, it's not that it's colorblind, but it's just, hey, just get the job done. But for you, how important is diversity to you in building a team? Do you for your career to be an example of someone who is successful or are you at a point where that's not as important for you? I just want people on my team that can win.

I am so glad that we have connected and sort of become connected in our lives because I think you are truly one of those people out there that really walks their talk and can make a huge impact in this world. So I'm looking forward to that. But based on everything that we talked about, if you had to say, when this is the one thing, I hope that the audience takes away from this, the one thing. What's the one thing you want them to walk away with? The one thing that I want them to walk away with is I've said a multiple times that hard work is a great equalizer. I've spent countless days and nights just going to work and just realizing that everything that I do means nothing if I don't show up. I don't show up in life at work in my marriage with my who I believe to be my creator is if I don't show up in all those areas and work hard and all of those areas, nothing.

"Am I standing on the front lines holding a picket sign? No, but at the end of the day am I still trying to champion it from my position every day and every chance I get a 100%? No, and that is one thing that I admire about you when I met you. There was just the way you carry yourself and it's, you know, it is that ability to look at another person and just say, you know, I want to be judged on my results. I wanted to be judged on my personality who I am, as a man or a woman, not on all of this other things. And you're right, it's still sad that we're having this conversation in 2021 or 2022 and some days it's worse in some days it's better. But I think for all of us in leadership positions, it is really about understanding the skill set that you need for your team and then going out and finding the best people. And doing your best. Now, as you said, you know, if you have two candidates and hire them both, if you can. But really, we keep talking about this idea and there are movements and there's ideas. But we're all hoping for the day where it isn't about that. It's not saying, oh, it's a minority owner. It's just an owner. And so it's a woman GSM. It's like, no, she's the GSM, right? So for me, in my company, it's not a conscious thought, but I did the math at one time, someone asked me. And I think I'm going to say outside of my brother and all of the leadership positions are women. Was it conscious? No, they were the best people. They stepped up, right? And so we're hoping that. And I think your example of that of the way you carry yourself and the way you talk about it and what you're doing, that is inspiring to other people that you have the opportunity and you're there reaching your hand back. And I think that's a really great analogy. Reach back for the people behind you, drop the ladder down, pull them up with you. I think that that's phenomenal. So.

So with that, because I think people struggle with that of how to break it down for someone. How to take someone who is performing so in automotive, you're selling ten ten vehicles a month. You and your mind look at them, look at their workload and you're thinking they could definitely be doing double that. But if I said that to them, their brain goes, I've been struggling to do ten, you want me to do 20, you want me to do 15, 16, you're crazy. But if you can and everyone listening and breaking it down to incremental to say, every day, if you could make, do you think you could make three more phone calls? Do you think you could do you break down into almost ten? Right. Reduce it down to such a small level that they almost laugh at you.

I said, do you think you could get one a day? From all of you, not each of you, just one is a group, and they all laughed. They thought it was hysterical. They said, sure, I said, well, do you realize then you'd have 25 or 30 at the end of the month? I said, but if you got two, you'd be here.

"Is that something and the reason I'm going to ask that is I can't find it in front of me, but I've been rereading Colin Powell's book on leadership from military and he talks about that in military, you're constantly evaluated. Every day you're evaluated and focused and checked in probed and so that's the way one build teams and more importantly, that's how they build their bench and discover the next round of leaders. Is that something that has always been innately in you to break it down or was that something as being someone a marine in the military, that's where that came from. The constant evaluation does come from the point where the constant pursuit of greatness that constant pursuit of light there's a little bit more that comes from the military. Every day, I'll walk up to the staff and I'll say, I need just go a little bit more. But those things are from the Marine Corps. Those things are from the military. Constantly questioning and asking, can you get just a little bit more out of this person? Can you do just a little bit more? Can you effectively shave down that time, you know what I mean on this exercise? So like one of the things that we always do is we'll do shoe houses. And what we're doing is we're trying to clear this house in a fraction of the time because violence of action not actual violence, which is violence of action. How fast we got in how fast we got through the door. How fast we broke that corner with speed, accuracy and detail. Is the best and most effective way to win in a closed quarters combat situation, right? So I look at the same thing when I'm measuring every single day like our performance. I'm measuring like did we get to that lead fast enough? Did we respond to that client quick enough? Did we provide the best level of customer service?.

"Over a new team or a business or maybe a new company. You're the new general manager of this automotive dealership in the case of our guests today. And so I wondered what do you do in those first 30 to 60 days? Do you focus on the metrics to drive productivity? Are you focusing on your people? Or is it a combination of both? So today's guest Demetrius mailer who I said is a general manager who took over this new automotive dealership. His philosophy is a little different. He says he spends that first 30 to 60 days, focusing on mindset of his team, as well as the metrics, but as he said, my people are my best ROI, and the more that I can invest in them early in those first 30 to 60 days. Well, the process, the productivity, the efficiency and the results, they take care of themselves. Loved it. It's a little different take than most people would think, but I'm excited for you to meet him today. We touch on a few other aspects of his journey from being a marine to being homeless to moving into the car business and now being a general manager, as well as dealing with diversity in his journey as an African American man. We talk about that later in the episode as well. Very exciting. He is truly one of the most grounded, open, honest people I've ever met. I'm really excited for you to meet him. So let's dive into today's episode of urine charge conversations that spark change with Demetrius naylor. All right, so Demetrius, thanks so much for being here and being part of the show today. One of the reasons why I wanted to bring you on, we've gotten to know each other, maybe over this last year, we've met a few times in person. But what's fascinating to me is one, you embrace challenges you take on challenges in your latest challenges moving to a new dealership as a general manager from West Virginia to Texas. Pretty big jump. And there's a lot of people out there who are taking on new projects and leading new teams and taking on new initiatives and they struggle with trying to figure out what should I do? How do I plan out those first 30, 60 days to get to know my team, see what's going on, how to make changes. So for you, from a tactical standpoint, what is your strategy, explain to me what you do when you took on this new role? How did you prepare yourself and first 30 days? What were some of the main things that you focused on to ingratiate yourself with the team, understand what's going on and start on your vision towards where you wanted to lead the team? The first one, thanks for having me on. One of the first things that I do with the team was pray. We prayed. And then we got to work. A lot of people had this vacillation between, do they want to kick the door in as we talk about? Or do they want to take time to get to know the team, figure out the inner workings, figure out where they can make pivotal changes? I'm a 50 50 guy. I work on mindset and operations at the exact same time. Whenever I get brought into a situation, I never look at it as it's a failing situation. And again, this situation I was brought in to here was not a failing situation. They needed to turn the dial just a little bit..

As tracy's employees abby provides insight into the deep commitment and care that tracy has toward mentoring her employees without further. Ado here's our conversation recorded virtually earlier this month. So tracy i. I can't resist starting off this way. Because i know you're from hawaii. I'm from hawaii. i just you know. We have such similar backgrounds. We both jumped from there to the east coast to an ivy league. School found architecture and then kind of made our way west. Can you talk about that Experience and how all these places have shaped you sure. I know i thought that was such a unusual aspect that we shared that pass. I think i'm one of only two architects in my graduating class. That i'm aware of so. It wasn't a huge direction. I think for a lot of people at that time and i did indeed follow that trajectory. I made my way east landed at cornell where i kept thinking i wanted to go into architecture but i was somehow scared to make that commitment. I got to cornell thought about transferring into the architecture program but My advisers suggested that that would be kind of foolish use of my time. I would end up with something like eight years of undergraduate at that point so we decided that i should just get a degree and i decided to get a degree in art history. And then Make my way into architecture. Graduate school level which i did And i graduated from the university of texas at austin and upon graduating i had to make that decision about. Where do you go. And i thought about going back to hawaii. Of course family was still there made sense and i went back and interviewed and got some really generous job offers that i think it was four dollars and fifty cents or five dollars an hour and indeed ito. They had that luxury of paying very little. Because there was a great demand for people to live in hawaii and There's an architecture school right there at the university of an so. I thought well. Why do i wanna make pennies working for a firm. I don't really admire or interested in just to be here. So i quickly raise my sites and started looking around and was fortunate enough to land my first job with ray copy working here in los angeles and i always intended that to be a relatively short. Stay here in los angeles. I thought well. I'll just put in a few years here and and then make my way probably at that time. I thought back to hawaii thirty.

Should i make the leap. And it's just never seemed like the right thing to do. I think i've ended up enjoying my visits back to you interesting family but never really feeling that the strong urge to make the move. It would be difficult for sure. I mean that.

U.S. Stimulus Checks Start to Land in Bank Accounts
"May be some money from the government there. Now. Over the weekend, The first of those $1400 stimulus payments started showing up in people's accounts theorists has the job of sending them out yet another project for the agency right in the middle of tax season, NPR's Brian Naylor reports. It's been a rough decade or so, for the I. R. S budgets were slashed. There was a hiring freeze and a loss of workers. Tony reared in as president of the National Treasury Employees Union, which represents many I R s workers Since 2000 and 10 the iris has lost nearly 33,000. Employees. It makes it very difficult for the agency to do its tax work when you know they've lost more than 20% of the workforce. Then a year ago, the Corona virus pandemic hit the filing deadline for 2019 taxes was extended to July and the I. R S is still behind in processing those returns. And now, with the 2020 filing season underway, the agency has new responsibilities. It needs to issue the latest stimulus payments to some 85% of American households, according to President Biden and implement other provisions as well. It is big task on top of filing season. As well as the other stimulus measures that were put in place by the bill that Samantha Jacoby she's with the nonprofit center on budget and Policy Priorities, She says the Iris will get some help in the bill and infusion of $1.4 billion to modernize the agency's 50 year old software platform. The IRAs knows how big of a task this is and how important it is. They've got this big infusion of funding, which is really important. There could be some hiccups. But the Iris is working really hard to get this relief to people. The IRA says it's reviewing the just past, Billa spokesman telling NPR the measure is a really heavy lift in some respects. Nina Olson, a former taxpayer advocate at the agency, says the iris should be pretty well prepared to issue the stimulus payments. I think that the stimulus checks are the least of their worries in this Sense that they've done this twice for in the last 12 months. They have the programming in place for most of it. Certainly with the December around, they showed how quickly they could respond, but also says another provision of the measure could be a bit more complicated. It's the new monthly child tax credit of up to $300 per child that Democrats included in the bill. Which the I R. S is going to have to figure out how to implement its A new pro. Graham. It requires monthly payments. Although the issuance of monthly payments is to me the least of their worries. It's are you paying out the money to the right people, you know if the child is moved to somebody else's household Or another child is added, and another provision in the bill, which makes unemployment insurance payments. Tax exempt for many Americans is a further complication. Many taxpayers have already filed their 2020 returns and may have paid taxes. They no longer Oh, says Samantha Jacoby. The good news is starting last year. The Iris will now allow people who want to amend returns to do so. Elektronik Lee, which wasn't the case in the past, and that might make it a little bit easier for some people, But she says it's clearly a big challenge for the I. R. S to carry out. All that's been put on its plate with the new legislation, and it's going to take some time. Brian Naylor. NPR News, the first Western country to get

I had the opportunity while i was preparing for this interview to listen to your music and i have to say oh my god. It is so beautiful. I've been listening to it for the last couple of days in the background when i wake up in the morning and i'm just so happy to be introduced to it. That means a lot. it really does. It's so beautiful. And i was telling somebody about it last night and we started talking about the difference between music with lyrics that inspires you and instrumental music like yours. Which is piano that you actually feel physically emotionally moved by it and i am wanna know more about you and your background and what inspired you to first of all. Choose the piano and second of all create this kind of music. Thank you very much. Those words are not lost on me when i was five years old. Who are talking about four years ago. There used to be a show television coach. Sean and so shot an hour's like ado band that had a television show and so each week as a family we would sit around and we would watch sean naylor. I wasn't raised in a musical environments. Why parents didn't play an instrument. My brother management with one thing that i think it was a simple fund attainment and there is a guy doing something on one of the instruments and he was having the time of his life. It was unbelievable. It means his smile is so infectious. And i just remember at the age of five. I remember looking like i want to do that. He's just having the time of life. That's what i want to do. Fast forward a little bit. My parents rented a piano goes. Who's gonna believe a five year old. And i started taking lessons dan and forty years later. I'm still taking piano lessons. I will until my fingers longer move. God forbid or i'm in the ground so there's something about always wanting to explore and go further with your craft and that excites me. So i was very traditional first class concerned Did the classical thing. Then i did start exploring different types of music. Not just classical and i really got into jazz heavily and the thing that i love so much about being brought up with jazz and classical as there's one key thing and you hit the nail on the head and the introduction a second ago and that's malady you have to have a song bird and music you have to have. That's why people love lyrics much because that's a somber something that they can seeing when they're not with radio so those lyric sages get into your ear also may find the way into your heart and your just. That's why were so moved by. Music is because of the melody the Together and i think what's so fascinated by instrumental. Music is when you remove that lyrical contents. You still have the melody. But at that point you're allowing the listener to create their own there. Because it's so interesting. Like with each song that i do. I try not to over exaggerate. When i'm speaking to people about what the pieces about because a lot of times what i found is it may be completely different. Who are the listener and it could be two different listeners. Naked hear the same song naked. Say well. I was envisioning this or i was envisioning this a lot of music. Particularly your favorite songs you have to go back and say why is that my fears and lot you look at it and you say i was going through this season in my life. This is a song that i i met someone with. And so that song is this. really mitt. Lot emotionally relational. And so i think the court part of music that i've always been drawn to in this. Forty years of studying is melody. How can you craft something that really. Just dials into the heart of the listener. And then you bring them to that point and you allow them to carry on from there. They pick up that torch if you will and take with them. Through whatever life situations they're experiencing. Yeah it reminds me of how i feel when we're look at a piece of art. We don't really know the intention of the artists necessarily but it holds certain meaning for us. And i wanted to ask you so you have this beautifully meaningful music and you seem to be from what i've ascertained so far deeply passionate about mezei shen. When did that start in your life. When did you begin to meditate. Why did you gravitate towards meditation. And then how did that intersect with your music. Love it thank you a number of years ago. Let's say run ten or so. I began to have some health issues. And so i found a chinese reflexologist who just completely turned my world upside down and the best of ways and at that point it was a very simple thing i walk and his. Oh it's this. let's fix your chee. And he did. I was sick. Great what it's two parts. At that point. I really became very interested in holistic food in the holistic lifestyle. Where does that fall in place. And how is it that were not made aware of it at least here in the states so there was a balance i mean i have grown up in church since i was knee high and so there that area of prayer that has always been part of my life but i knew that there are parts as well as it specifically when she starts speaking about your wellness your overall health until i knew that there was a marriage somewhere in between

He's a second Yankee pitcher with ten plus strikeouts in the team's first game of the postseason hall of. FAMER. Red. Roughing at ten strikeouts in Game One, the nineteen thirty, two world series against the cubs and with thirteen strikeouts walks Cole also match Tom seaver game one of the Nineteen seventy-three and LCS for the most strikeouts in a postseason appearance without issuing. A. Walk the AKC's four homers in this game tied for the second most in a playoff game. In franchise history, they had five homers in game four of the nineteen twenty eight world series against the cardinals. So when you can match numbers going back to the world series from Nineteen thirty two and nineteen twenty eight says a lot about how much yankees dominated in Game One Garrett Cole talked about his first postseason start with the Yankees. Now there was a lot of fun I mean it was a really complete team day my thought that. The middle innings when. They scored we responded with. Sizeable lead which. I thought was kind of allow them Try Not allow them to get some momentum through news dunes and. We keep on defense become elite runners lean offers off. The bags which was kept a pitch count down and we swap bats really well, and I joined myself so a nice that. You also talked about setting the tone. We need to set the tone for the series and You, know. I'm obviously very painful ambled gable to take the ball in this position So to be able to deliver feels really good and and obviously with my son area thrown felt pretty good too so. Yeah I would say I would say it definitely. was definitely a special night. But especially this year, we allow more baseball to to win so honestly celebrate to get stuff and and And showered off and come back to Marlin through all during the sixty game season Bieber did not allow more than three runs in any starting in this game he allowed seventy talked about his struggles after the game Yes. I felt. Extremely prepared coming into the start just like every other start, the season and. Fell behind first hitter and and that I obviously didn't go as planned. I felt like overall looking back at the outing. Objectively. Just, wasn't as aggressive as I wish I would have been with my ob- speeds of in the zone and maybe some fastballs in and just challenging these guys a little bit more. I felt like I fell behind quite a bit and forced myself into some bad situations and so bad counts, and then you know all that on top of not having my stuff and making mistakes. Amounted to what came out of tonight so No excuses was. It was. Not. The the I start that. We wanted to get out. With and Me personally as well but we got two more games and and cookies go out there and do thing tomorrow and hopefully I'll get the ball back as soon as possible in these three series right away elimination games later today Carlos. Carrasco? Shame. Bieber just referenced the right there cookie versus Masahiro Tanaka

And secure I also was rubber at a son. Who's going through the loss of mine? Her brother Michael From cancer related to service and. He died in October two, thousand seventeen. I want to thank Mr Collins Mr Naylor putting this together. But as I sit her today, I can't help but think. What an incredible metaphor. This room is. For the entire process. That getting healthcare and benefits for nine eleven. First responders has come to. ME. A filled room. Of nine eleven first responders. And in front of me. A, nearly empty congress. So, my wife took A. Forty. Two, thousand, eighteen. Months after my family's call to the loss of micro and as a family, we've never been through anything wiped out before this kind of significant loss we were fortunate. We just all were managing to live our lives and my brother's loss was the first. My parents had outlived their son and that's the worst thing that happened to her family. Right. It should have been the most overwhelming family ever experienced except four months. Later, my daughter was hard because I sent her to school I to school at fourteen to learn to be safe to laugh to be excited about coming home on Valentine's Day for the plan. I had set for life family and didn't work out that way shooter came into school at day my slide Jesse. Thank God I still get to. But J visitor cemetery and.

I went into this whole new life. I don't have the same life I had before and my wife actually became depended upon me. But upon the amazing people who I got to surround myself with WHO became a part of my life or who were already a if my life and I would emission and we're going to succeed we're going to change the. Politics of country we're going to pass on safety after November third every time I hear you till the story I feel like there is something a little bit more grounded in the way in which you tell your story, and I'm wondering if it is because you had this time to write this book and really reflect you've got a book coming called find the Helpers and before we get into that I, want to note The huge amount of praise. This book is already getting new have blurbs from members of Congress actors, activists, people from across the social and political spectrum, and they're all raving about it and I don't think in my life. I've seen such hype about a book even before it is released. So what do you think it is what do you think it is about finding the helpers that makes it so universally loved and also. Tell me about the process of writing it, and if it was Cathartic for you because I think we hear. So often people that tell stories an especially stories that are so close to your being your heart people always say you know it was Cathartic and it was their -Peutic for me to write. This is that how you felt writing it such a great question because this was not the case before Jamie was killed. Afterwards. Writing became my therapy in started doing social media. You know I became very prolific on twitter and I considered people twitter became force. My way of getting things out of me and those book just took to another level being able to sit down and think about all of the relationships what they meant to me about my daughter and what hurt lost means to me and others, and what my book really got to think about is people in a very different way because you hear the same things I hear people sock opticians, sock media. And I writing my book and I couldn't come to that conclusion any of these
