"Taiwanese people are not willing to back it down to a bully. Taipei based Tim copper and on the ramifications of speaker Pelosi's visit to Taiwan and later, David fickling on the reopening of the port of Odessa for grain shipments. But first to markets and John authors. Sujan, quite the week. Yes. Wouldn't have thought so. The first week in August, but here we are. Let's talk about false, all clears. I think so. Certainly what you've seen was I thought an extreme overreaction to the notion that the fed was ready to pivot already that in some ways that the battle against inflation was already won. Now, it's true that markets are about what's happening in the future. They're not about what's just happened. But when it comes to fighting inflation rates do have to go up and that has to tighten economic activity before inflation is beaten. You can't just skip those steps. You have to wait for them to work out in the real economy before you trade accordingly. Are you saying it's almost like a market is trying to trade both things at the same time? Yes, there might be very clear economic logic behind the notion that rates are going to go up. Then the economy will slow and then rates will come down again. We've all read our economic textbooks and you do want to guard against the future but you can't thereby assume that you can already buy bonds as though there's nothing to worry about. Right, and mainly the top term. There's a lot of problems. And you point out, Lisa shallots, points, and also at Hyman's points of whom are excellent market commentators and should never be ignored, right? Yes. We're in a genuinely unprecedented situation in an era of international finance and unprecedented global pandemic any number of possibilities are sensibly open. Nobody can confidently say that anybody else is wrong about this, but there are very strong forces pushing bonds in both directions. And I think that's an important point because it is both directions. It's not like it's an ambivalent market here. It's a market that's very convinced of two different things. That's why the universe. Yeah, and that's why the yield curve is a little bit like a slinky these days, but also. Because Nancy Pelosi decided to complicate things if you want to put it that way this week. Yes, I think from the cold blooded view of a macro trader. The potential Taiwan strait issue adds up potentially to the Ukraine war plus the trade war with China. All at once only worse. It's absolutely not what anybody wants to see happen. And so the degree of saber rattling ahead of her trip, which I have to say, I don't quite understand what the reason for doing it. This week was. Was very scary. I think you could see we had on Tuesday, we had a remarkable rise in bond yields, IE people sold their bonds, and in large part that was because there had been a somewhat extreme rush to the havens people were wondering whether the Chinese are going to shoot Pelosi's plane down. I'm not joking. That was going around there as a possibility. And the fact that she just landed safely and got out of the plane caused the bond market to turn around. So certainly you could see some kind of a short term sentiment extreme caused just by that event. That seems to have gone away though in 24 hours on less something else happens China seems to have made its moves. It's already imposed economic well, I guess sanctions yet they are sanctions on Taiwan. And it's going to engage in some drills, but this may not be the kick-off to the retaking of Taiwan. Exactly. It is looking for at some point in the future. Yeah, I mean, certainly I am not a expert on military strategy, but I've read quite a number of notes now that have come out from people who are. Both the sanctions and the military exercises are quite a lot more lenient, quite a lot less aggressive than they could have been. There are much nastier sanctions packages they could have done and they could be much more menacing when it comes to playing around with their military. So it looks as though Sieg Jinping might have blinked and Nancy Pelosi hasn't. Can't imagine you'll get any great domestic political credit for it in the U.S., but it looks as though Pelosi might actually have fare won that particular contract. Yes. They're not exactly equals, I guess, in that respect, but she may have won. So we're in August. We've had this huge move in bond markets. We also saw the NASDAQ reclaim lots of territories so far this week. It's very hard to believe in the idea that this could be a fossil care when you watch what's happening in the market. But I guess that's the essence of being a good trader, right? It's a very difficult one. Certainly a number of usual technical trading measures. I'm not normally a great fan of technical analysis, but it's at times like this. When markets have really been scared and when trading really is about mass psychology that technical measures can be quite useful. And the degree to which we have had such a big reversal of such a big sell off doesn't usually happen unless the bottom is in, and that deserves some degree of respect. The noisy fang plus index so that the index just includes ten huge Internet platform companies, Apple, Amazon, Tesla, et cetera. At this point, 20% up almost exactly from its low, which was in May. Some technicians would say that the 20% rise means it's back in a bull market. It's still a long way below its peak from last year. But the 20% rise is in very, very liquid stocks that people know about, and are thinking about, again, can't

"This final note on the way out today. So after weeks of debate, the U.S. has officially declared monkeypox, a public health emergency. Some states like California, New York and Illinois have also issued emergency declarations. And on a practical level, this national declaration means federal agencies now have the power to direct money and speeding up the distribution of vaccines and treatments. It gives them access to emergency funding and they can now hire additional workers to help deal with the outbreak. Now, just as a reminder, experts say the virus spreads mostly through close contact and is rarely fatal, but it can be incredibly painful. The U.S. has among the highest rates of monkeypox infection in the world, more than 6600 infections have been recorded, a number that is only expected to go up once testing improves. All right, we've got to go, no time for a moment of economic context today. So you'll have to find your own.

"At the belt. Hindenburg is a walking caricature of Prussian militarism. Sword dangling Chester washed with medals. His illustrious military career extends as far back as the Austro Prussian war of 1866. Opposing him is the humble little Corporal. But that's exactly how the Nazis want to play it. They are a party not of the untitled, not even of the country. But of the people. The folk. Where Hindenburg rambles about old Prussian glories, Hitler keeps his message simple. It's about freedom and bread. Goebbels sums it up with another neat slogan. Honor Hindenburg, vote Hitler. There is a fly in the ointment. Remember when Hitler renounced his Austrian citizenship back in 1925. He has been stateless ever since. Not yet, German at all. In fact, he is not legally permitted to run for high office. Fortunately, there's been a bit of chicanery. On February 25th, the minister of the interior of the state of Brunswick appoints Hitler as a special attache. Upon Hitler is conferred the citizenship of Brunswick and with it automatically of the Weimar Republic. Adolf Hitler has spent his whole life fantasizing about this moment. He is Atlas officially a German. As the days count down, Hitler embarks on another massive speaking tour. There are gimmicks deployed, pioneering ones. The Nazis mount loudspeakers on trucks that roll through the streets of Germany, broadcasting the party's message. There are 50,000 gramophone records of Hitler's speeches mailed out. Hitler makes a publicity film that is projected at night in public squares across the country. The first ever party political broadcast. They will soon be a budget people's radio and offer. The Volkswagen finger, the people's receiver, so you can invite uncle Dolph into your parlor. As a brand, the Nazis are becoming something else. They are not just a party, but a movement. Selling a lifestyle and wandered serious merge. There are Nazi buttons, badges, mugs, ashtrays, Hitler posters, and all featuring that trademark logo, the broken arm cross of the swastika, copied with the most supreme of ironies from an ancient Hindu peace symbol. Professor Claudia coons Germany had trading cards that came with chewing gum, tobacco, candy. And the Nazi Party produced albums that people could fill in with color, cards, of the Nazi Party leadership of Hitler's childhood, cards showing Nazi Party doctrine. And so you got the album for free, and every time you bought a particular brand of cigarettes, you would get a trading card. And somewhere more rare than others. And so this was popular and it integrated consumerism with politics. But the host vessel song already bagged as an anthem. Tootsie hamstring comes up with a chant that the faithful can use at rallies. A fan of American football from his time in the U.S. is inspired by the yell that resounded across the bleachers at his old university. It becomes Sieg heil, Sieg heil. The stiff right armed salute goes with it. The length of time one is able to sustain it becomes a mark of one's manhood. It's said that Hitler can keep it up for 7 hours. In this new Nazi universe, no detail is left to chance. The Nazis even have their own typeface, fracture, an ornate gothic script it's used in all official documentation. In an effort to spruce themselves up. A clothes designer is brought in. Enter a man named Hugo boss. Whose fashions are already getting some attention. A Nazi Party member and personal sponsor of the SS. Hugo boss works wonders with his favorite units uniform. He has his seamstresses knock up a tight fitting all black ensemble of tunic, jodhpurs, and jackboots. One that promotes an upright posture. Incorporated into the design is an old Prussian regimental badge. A skull emblazoned on the cap. Throw in the lightning bolt motif, the figure hugging leathers, and this is racy stuff. Only one whip away from S&M professor Nicholas have shown us what you have is consistency and control across the brand signifiers. Everything from uniforms to typeface to symbols to rituals. There is an extraordinary degree of coherence and coordination. The interesting question is why. It's partially answered by Hitler himself. See a parent is spent hours in Munich public library, digging up symbols and sites to use. He paid huge attention to a matters of symbolism. And this was what he was all about. None of its original, not the fascist salute the seek high or anything else. But there is a consistent coordination, a house style, and in particular we mentioned Hugo boss. They really did understand male vanity. There's a photograph of major general fortune syringing the Scottish division to Erwin Rommel. In 1940, in France, and the contrast couldn't be more great. General fortune is wearing a kind of baggy boiler suit. And Rommel is dressed to the 9s in tight fitting well tailored. Field gray uniform with the on cross, standing seductively over his chest. And absolutely screaming supremacy and hubris with the booths and all of it. They cost him the nation. Nazism is very male thing, and they really get it at so many levels, which other regimes just dead. It's a visual feast. It really leaves the brain reading. And that is the whole point to a neutralized consciousness. That is what they achieved. The Nazis have thought of everything. There are plans in place for a utilitarian Nazi vehicle, a people's car, the Volkswagen its prototype, nicknamed the beetle due to its bug like shape. Will be.

"But now scores of women are making major contributions to this field of science, especially those working on the stability of ice shelves and sheets. So how did women break through the ice ceiling to create opportunities and become leaders in their field? Emma spoke to Morgan Sieg, who's just submitted her PhD on this subject to Cambridge University and Joe Johnson, who's visited Antarctica 7 times with the British Antarctic survey. Morgan began by explaining why women were told they couldn't go to Antarctica. The ostensible reason was that there were no facilities for women in Antarctica. But that was a superficial excuse and in fact one woman in the 1960s reportedly received a reply from the British Antarctic survey saying that they didn't think women would like to visit the Antarctic anyways. There were no facilities. In other words, there were no toilets. There were no shops. There were no hairdressers. But, of course, the superficial excuse really underlie much more foundational anxieties. They were worried about sociology and sexuality on the ice. A gentleman who was among the leadership of bass in the 1970s and 80s said that even for an all male community, morale is balanced on a knife edge and an insignificant occurrence can have a snowballing effect and shatter morale on station. So they were worried that women would arrive and this sort of cultural social norms on stations wouldn't be able to withstand the pressures of sex. They were not talking about homosexuality at the time. That was very much swept under the rug. And I think there's a brilliant quote from the leader of the U.S. Antarctic operations in 1950s who said, we won't be having any women on the ice unless we can provide one woman for every man. Wow. Yeah, quite striking. But still underneath these anxieties, the Antarctic was seen as a stage for proving British masculinity dating back to the expeditions of Robert Scott and Ernest Shackleton. And so I think that they were worried that women would sort of shatter this illusion. And U.S. Antarctic leader George defect said women would wreck the illusion of being frontiersmen going into a new land, the illusion of being a hero. And yet, I suppose what was going on with the men there at the time, were they being heroes? What do we know about what was going on? Certainly there are risks involved in working the Antarctic fatalities and tragedies taking place. But the reality at the same time is that for most people, life in the Antarctic has been fairly mundane, a little bit tedious, maybe boring, especially if you're confined to the station for a couple of years at a time. And so there's this, I think, fear that women might emasculate the Antarctic by demonstrating that in fact, it's not quite all cracked up to be in terms of these masculine mythologies of heroism and the first woman who worked in the interior of the continent with past glaciologist named Liz Morris. She worked on the ice first in 1987 to 88. And she said that she suspected that the men who were resistant to her participation might have worried that if, in her words, a middle aged woman with no particular physical skills could hack it, but how could they be heroes, but she says that once she arrived, the men realized that her presence didn't make the crevasses any more frightening, didn't make the workload any more or less difficult. And then they began to accept her participation. And I mentioned before her just before her came Janet Thompson. The first British woman to be allowed tell us a little about her..

At and the future of optics remington ammunition armscor and safari land. We save lives. All right gary welcome in man. Thanks all right gary killingsworth. You are on team gun talk. I among team gun talk about a year and a half. yeah but We've known each other for years worked with crimson trace. Yes and we just thought we'd just talk about guns because you're a gun guy. I mean were you a gun guy before you even started with crimson. Trace definitely was a gun guy before. That's what brought me to crimson trace. Yeah like i stocked them for a couple of years to get a job. Yeah i it's funny. You hear that. In the gun industry. A lot of like i mean ryan donahue who has that same kind of like i want to be in the gun industry. It's it's something that if someone's listening to this they're probably a gun person and they're go and we hear that you guys have a cool job. That's fine you you can do this absolutely. You can't be in this industry if you seek it out and if you think about it i mean you're you're a digital webby guy at least that's what you do for us and so it's like you could be. You can mean accountant and say well you can be accounting for remington d. or something like that or or whatever. I wonder you know as i think about this even what we were gonna talk about. But i'm just going off on a tangent. Well okay. Where would you start ryan. I want to do that. Where would i start i would go to. Nsf dot org board s. s. f. Dot org they do have a job. Board board there Poma the professional outdoor media association. They have job board Where else. I mean linked in. I guess writing for sure i mean the internet. I mean a lot of people are surprised how many firearms industry brands are located. All over the place. Oh yeah right. I mean it wherever you live. Someone's probably there. That's a good point and i. Yeah because they may say well aren't all those guys up. In the new england area ruger and colt and smith and wesson and sieg will. There's there's a pocket there but it seems like there's a lot of pocket absolutely. I mean all through texas all through texas up and down the i five corridor and lord has a lot of companies. Yeah even like the phoenix. Scottsdale area bunch of companies idaho. Yeah yeah you said. I five like you where you guys are. You're still in oregon. There's a bunch of oregon companies. So yeah all over the place. And i would love to hear from from the audience on that kind of stuff if you guys comment on this if you're watching it on youtube or facebook or or whatever but i mean if you're super into guns i will admit it's pretty fun. It's very fun and we were talking about this a little bit earlier about You there's people who who work in the firearms industry who get into it because it's in the right location and it's a you know. They interviewed for and they got the job. They may not be a gun person but it's rare that they don't become one right right and working in the industry. I mean especially with other people who are really into they'll they'll you along and it's it is amazing. How fast it can happen. The can become your passion really quick. So here's the other thing is typically people. Don't leave the gun industry. Even if they switched jobs switched companies they stay within the gun industry. And i think there's a reason for that and i'm my theory is number one. There's a passion for the subject or as and not just not just the shooting guns or guns or neat part. there's a mindset part of it of like mindedness a a freedom loving culture and some of the that type of stuff which is also really important. Absolutely if you're if you're of that mindset and you're like we know everybody knows people were like. I work at a company that i'm not allowed to say my beliefs on gun rights or something. Well now you're somewhere. where like. Wow this is awesome. Everybody thinks like i do. Yeah we we. We agree on most things and and we also especially when you're starting to talk with like marketing people people etc. Everyone's facing some of the same struggles like we're all. We're all in this together. There's a competition. I mean we're all trying to you know they're all trying to sell and sure etc. There's a competition but everyone faces the same challenges from being. Shut out of mainstream media. W that's an interesting point in and yes Real competitors like a like a smith wesson or ruger yeah absolutely competitors would in the business world. They're trying to crush each other and trying to gain market share but they will sit down to dinner they will. They will work together because there is this greater common good and and maybe perhaps a common enemy of people who are trying to take your gun rights and in you know push gun control laws in. I mean. I think that you would agree. I think that is going to get str- the camaraderie in the industry is going to get stronger. Especially now as we see kind of the the focus going more towards. Let's take down the manufacturers. Yes right i mean. That's it's just an. It's a new tactic or it's not a new tactic but it's it's a diversion right and also one of the things that Atf biden has been kind of floating out there. He said it a few times. I don't know if people are catching on. But they're targeting has he would put it bad gun stores so that's like a new little initiative for them to say we're going to be looking at these gun stores and making sure they're doing things the right way and he says it with this weird assumption like all of the gun stores are doing illegal things which it's exactly the opposite. It's most of the gun. Stores are doing it correctly. It's a it's a new branding campaign for what they used to refer to as like the gun. Show loophole. yeah right. They're just putting they're calling it something different and hoping that it permeates and it's been it's used in the mainstream and in in conversation from non-gun people yeah so that they can assume that you know they're shady dealings and so on and so forth so going back to the whole working in the industry thing when i so before i did gun talk. I was in media. I was working for fox television. I worked for cox communications and working in advertising and sales and that kind of thing and i. I went over to gun talk and started with my dad tom. And your bait. Mainly focusing on that side of things advertising and sales. And that's what i knew and You know nerd out on on.

"We should say that we are not talking about all workers here. There are a lot of jobs that cannot be done remotely if you are a dentist or a barista or a chef or a carpenter or a surgeon you basically have to show up in real life to do. Your job is true. It's estimated that about half of jobs in the united states can be done remotely so that's kind of what we're debating here. The fee of that one half of working americans. Yes in to help us figure out this fate. I called up in economist. Who has a foot in several different parts of the job market low. My name is adam os. Mac and the chief economist. At up work you are also a business owner. yes. I have a couple of businesses. I am one of the owners of the bowling alley restaurant arcade. I am of the partners in join cat. Events which runs beer fests and i am one of the owners of kempner scott shoes which is the country's oldest children's shoe company. Oh my god adam like what do you do. You have free time. You know my secret is i. Don't like sports and so there you go secret to life. Don't like sports so we asked adam. Are we going back to the office. I mean things have changed radically over the past year and a half but the office you know it evolved over decades it is powerfully entrenched in our culture and in our psyches. Not only that. Adam points out that traditionally there has been a kind of stigma around remote work and remote workers. There's a great paper by emma harrington at harvard about how workers were sort of viewed it firms before the pandemic in how often there is sort of a stigma associated with it. I mean you can certainly see it in media. Portrayals like there is the episode of the simpsons in the nineties where a homer was trying to worker working at home taking breaks and everyone's like drinking beer in the middle of the day. -til the are that nuclear plant almost a total meltdown. Sieg you have people working from home. And it almost destroys the world's well homers really making a case against remote work there but adams's a lot of those negative assumptions around remote work and remote workers have changed. We did a survey last year where we as managers whether they thought productivity had gone up or gone down and more thought it went up then went down and that's important like thirty two percent to twenty three percent thought gone up that is my indicator for. Rip office greg. Thirty two percent thirty two percent of managers thought people were more productive when they worked from home and notably only twenty three percents that they thought that productivity went down so most managers did not think productivity dropped when people were not physically in the office. And i think greg that that will make them far less likely to push workers to come back to the office. Or you know especially to like lee down ultimatums because remember greg. The lieber markets really tight right now. Workers have a lot of options. A lot of companies are kinda desperate for workers. Workers want to work from home so much so that they are willing to pay for it. And i mean this literally adamant is teaming up work did a survey that found that around a quarter of workers said they would consider taking a pay cut to stay remote not only that big chunk of the people. They talked to who were already working remotely said that they would be willing to go to economic extremes to leave the cubicle farm behind for good and we have some research that we just put out looking at the percent of people who are looking to quit because they want to stay remote and we found that seventeen percent of people are considering quitting your job to stay remote. Whoa like the the job that they have right now. They're considering quitting. So that's a lot of people who place a serious economic value on working remotely so indicator number two. Greg people are willing to make sacrifices to work from home and not to put to find a point on it like where are you working from right now san francisco. You and i worked in the same office for years in manhattan. That's right that's right and if in winter offices opened back up in new york are you. Are you gonna come back to the office. I hope not because my family and friends here. This is where. I grew up. So i hope they don't force me back. Would you take a pay cut or anything. would you consider it. If our manager's listening absolutely not. I'm gonna drive bargain fair enough. Well i just wanted to put that out there. Before i got to indicate or number three isaac newton so the delta variant has indefinitely postponed office reopenings for everyone from like amazon wells. Fargo to apple like it was just all over the news last week in this. It's been a huge bummer. I know i know the delta variant part is really hard. But i also do feel like the longer we stay away from the office and from like crazy rush mornings in like eating your breakfast on the way to the subway you know putting your face into some strangers armpit for thirty five minutes like on a pack of subway car like to get to work and find that. You can't get anything done because your cubicle. Meade is being too loud. And then there's a fire drill and then like someone steals your yogurt out of the communal office fridge in all of the other like annoyances that come with working in the office here is where isaac newton comes in. You know he was. The guy who identified inertia right objects in motion tend to stay in motion. The more inertia that we get in working from home the longer we stay away from the indignities of the office the harder it's going to be to go back and so greg that is my argument number three isaac newton. This is why. I think we're not going back to the office. And there is like an economic upside also to the idea that we might not go back economist. Adam owes amac told me that he really thinks this shift away from the office. Could have you really positive impact on the us economy. He's as the rise of the so-called superstar cities which is just a handful of cities. Were just so much of the country and really the planet's economic activity is concentrated. Adams's that has been really hard on a lot of the country. A lot of small towns and rural areas falling tax base. You have falling house. Prices are rising vacancies. You know when the tax base declines the government cuts back services that just one more thing that pushes people why so you get into this pretty negative downward spiral. Adams's workers have a choice of where to live that a lot of them will pick small cities and rural areas and bring a lot of economic activity into those areas. Places where giant companies are not concentrated economically speaking. I do think that there is potential for that to help a lot of places that have been losing population and sort of rebounds economy away from superstar cities in towards the rest of the country. I hope adams right. 'cause i wanna stay remote and i wanna see economic activity more fairly spread across the country. I'm actually also really curious to hear what people think. So we would love to hear from you. If you happen to be on twitter you can go to our twitter feed. That's at the indicator and we have a little pole there and just let us know if you think that people are going to go back to the office for the most part or if you think remote work is here to stay. We really want to know what you think in brooklyn. I'm stacey vanik smith. This is greg result. Ski in san francisco and this episode of the indicator was produced by daring woods in queens new york with help from jamila huxtable in new jersey and gilly moon in los angeles.

There are a lot of jobs that cannot be done remotely if you are a dentist or a barista or a chef or a carpenter or a surgeon you basically have to show up in real life to do. Your job is true. It's estimated that about half of jobs in the united states can be done remotely so that's kind of what we're debating here. The fee of that one half of working americans.

You know my secret is i. Don't like sports and so there you go secret to life. Don't like sports so we asked adam. Are we going back to the office. I mean things have changed radically over the past year and a half but the office you know it evolved over decades it is powerfully entrenched in our culture and in our psyches. Not only that. Adam points out that traditionally there has been a kind of stigma around remote work and remote workers. There's a great paper by emma harrington at harvard about how workers were sort of viewed it firms before the pandemic in how often there is sort of a stigma associated with it.

It was basically the wild wild west of science an out of this time, we got new medicine made scientific progress but things spiraled out of control when research is took it too far. With starting out story with a man who stumbled into this world decades ago. So let me get just coffee, and then we can create his name is Sigmund Weizman or seek. He's a jolly guy loves to laugh, and as we sat down for coffee Zeke told me about growing up in Philadelphia fifties and sixties he's family was working class. No one had been to college. But see be dreams. He'd always wanted to be a duck down. So I finished college, and I was going to start medical school fast, though, he needed a summer job. And I thought well, it'd be interesting to do something that might have some relationship with what I was going to do in the future. And I thought well, maybe there's some research or medical research or either any kind of research, and it's this research that would plunge him into the center of what would become a national scandal. I didn't know I was. Too stupid to to be honest to the think anything more about the full any of that though. Sieg is just an eagle college grad looking for that summa gig. So he opens up the phone book. Yeah. I so I thought well, I'll look up research laboratories in the yellow pages. This is how naive I was. He's going alphabet cly and once he gets to the lettuce. See he sees a listing in small print clover laboratories, it was only a phone number and an address didn't have anything except a listing. Clova libra trees sounded medicine to Sieg. So he dials the number AMAN picks up and seek tells him I've just finished college. I'm going to medical school. And I'm looking for job. He said, you're exactly what we need this summer. Why don't you come to this address tomorrow morning and on meet with? You and you can decide if you'd like to do this this job. The next day said gets into his car and heads to the address he was given. He's driving through pretty residential pot of Philly Yod's, brick houses, and all of a sudden, I see these huge big granite buildings. Scary scary looking Victorian type buildings. I looked at the address where I was driving. I said my God. It's jail prisons too big house, whatever you wanna call them. Did you know you're going to be working at a jail? I had no idea. I thought I was going to be working in a laboratory. You know, benches pouring chemicals and spinning centrifuges. And that was the thing. I was completely flummoxed. What did I get myself into? What did he get himself into? Seek it was about to enter a world where scientists were experimenting on prisoners. And this wasn't just in bad apples a few rotten scientists.

Zinc: The Tech Serving the Millions of Unsung Deskless Workers
"Invited Stacey Epstein back onto the show from zinc. The last time we spoke. She completely blew my mind with a stat about desktops workers and that they account for between seventy to eight percent of the entire global workforce. It's a genuine pleasure to get back onto the show today. So book up, hold on tight. So I can be meal is all the way to San Francisco. So we can speak with Stacy Epstein from Sieg. So I'm warm. Welcome back to the show. Can you just remind listeners of who you are and what you do? Yep, I am Stacey Epstein. I am the CEO of zinc and zinc is a technology company focused on desk Lous workforce's and it may not be a term familiar to everyone, but I can promise you, you've probably already interacted with the lists worker today. It is upwards of eighty percent of the population of workers, and it's those people that are not sitting in an office. They're not sitting behind a desk, they're not staring at a computer. They are coming to your home to install your cable TV. They're helping you at a retail store. They're working with you as you check into your hotel room and they're cleaning your hotel room. When you depart. Again, there are people that aren't staring at a computer screen or even a phone screen to do their jobs. And because of that, they are always. Is mobile and they're somewhat disconnected from what were used to you. And I kneel were probably both looking at our computer screens right now. We're looking at Email and we're looking at other applications that we use in our job, but that these workers aren't don't have the benefit of those kinds of connections. And so- zinc is an all mode, communication platform that helps connect these desk lists workers to the tribal knowledge in their organization, and whether that's texting or calling, or video calling, or sharing content with their peers or with their managers or receiving important information from their corporation. They're getting that communication that they need to help them do a better job, but wouldn't you spoke to you? You would really resonated with me when you talked about a kind of between seventy to eighty percent of the global workforce. Some of that stuff is just phenomenal, but couldn't even fresh your listeners memory about zinc as an also provide enterprise communication for destler Swick. And how important that is? Yeah, again, so these workers are there just disconnected and yet they are the face of your brand. I mean, I think of a company like dish network's who here in the US. They're a very prominent provider of. Satellite TV. Right? So if you want all you want the dish network in your house and you're going to get all your ESPN and your millions of channels and that that service doesn't work unless somebody comes out to your house and put that satellite dish on your roof and make sure it's working all the time. And so if that worker who is desk Lous right, they're never sitting behind a desk, they're showing up at your door and they're trying to get you up on your TV if that worker doesn't have access to experts when they have a question information, just anything that they might need to be connected to their company than than they have a hard time doing doing a good job. If you think about again, it's hard for us to put ourselves in their shoes because we are not desk Lous. We're sitting at a desktop and we're looking at a computer, but imagine the life of a dish network technician. They ring that doorbell and it is something dif-. Every single time every house is wired differently. The weather is different. The way you get up on the roof, the height of the roof, the personality and temperament of the person behind the door who wants their TV. Every single job is different and it's hard. It's a hard job and because of that retention is a big challenge in desk industries. And yet if whatever that person faces on the other side of that door on that roof, if they know that help from an expert is just one text or one video call or one phone call away. Then they have the reassurance too that they can handle anything, and it drives engagement and it also drives performance. And so that's what we do. We're an enterprise communication platform. It is not like SMS or I message or what's up. It is secure. It is provided by the company. There are group's set up their hotline set up there. Features that really help ensure that that that desk was worker can get to the knowledge that they need to do a better job in real time. The
