"Hope you like that. I used to always be like that, yes, true. Everybody's the one. Yeah, everyone was the one. But yeah, he's the one. He's different. Why is that? In a grown way. I was a kid then, you know? I feel that. Kidding mentally as well. It doesn't matter how old I am. But he is. Okay. Well, we left to hear it. Tie him up. Let's see if it's real. Okay. Use them here. At the same time, girl. Is she ready? Well, listen, we thank you so much for coming through happy birthday. Yes. Thank you. By the way, this is really special for us though 'cause I know it's not too often that you're in town. So we appreciate you coming through lip service. Thank you so much. We think you're amazing. I appreciate it. I appreciate even though one would expect that in Africa we don't always have this conversation because I wouldn't say it's a taboo, but you would be seen as a as an unnecessarily open minded person to the things that they would refer to as negatives, you know? But I value such conversations because I think we may need to speak to each other more. Yeah, that's the whole point of that. And I do think part of women's empowerment is to be able to freely speak about our bodies, things that we like in a positive way with no judgment. We can buddies. Everybody should be able to buy you. Somebody was fucking. I had these conversations in his A-okay. So, yes, we are able to have these conversations too. And they'll have these conversations about us. And so we can have these conversations with each other. And this helps a lot of women, and that's what I love about lip service is women will be like, I was listening and I learned this and I didn't know about this and I felt strange because I never was able to have anyone to talk to..

"React that way as well. What I think is irrespective of wherever man is, whether he's American, Spanish or whatever. It's all in the head. Some people don't know how to put their ego aside and have such a conversation. Yes. So I'm very sure that there's some American guys that will not find that conversation funny. No matter how nicely I put it. The probably would just really make sure that I feel like trash. And then the relationship ends, then they take their time out to maybe improve on their skill for another woman. Because you're gonna help him out probably like really messed with the ego that points in time. It takes a man who's willing to really understand that it's not games. It's all about pleasure. And if you feel like you're not pleasuring me and I'm able to tell you and you really make it your goal to just pleasure me and pleasure yourself because if I am done, enjoy myself, you can't enjoy it. Right. There's a different feeling when we're both enjoying it. Absolutely. So it takes a mind with pedigree to separate the ego from such a conversation. Have you ever faked an orgasm? That was a yes. Wait, what does it mean to fake an organism? Is that a lot of us? Did you come and give up and say yeah, but you really didn't? That still faking it. You don't want to admit it. Yeah, I'm not faking it. Maybe once a week. Or ten times. I don't know. What was the reason for that? I don't know, maybe sometimes you just want your partner to really feel great. I feel like I didn't feel great. You ain't feeling great, okay? No, I did not. No, it's good, but maybe your partner came before you. And I still didn't come at all. You should be able to have a good time, but I just didn't get there. Right. And that's okay. I've had sex and I didn't comment. And that's so great. So it's okay. Well, I guess. I'm not going to lie about it. You too nice. What do you mean before you say something? I probably will just make my own self come and then that's exactly. I haven't faked an orgasm in years. I'm not doing it. Like you said, I had a good time. I just didn't come this time. It's all good. How do you make you so calm when you just had sex? How do you do that? Your fingers just like you just showed us. Same. I do. I've done it. I pulled out a toy on purpose. I didn't pull it off. And that's what many times because I let it happen, like, the first, second, third. And then the fourth, like, I didn't want to hurt his feelings. So I was like, I'm not gonna hurt it, but I'm gonna, I'm gonna come and I pulled out the toy. Oh. Do you use toys? One time, I didn't really enjoy it. What's over here? What's up in here? What's happening? Well, we wanna make sure you have fun. Okay. Okay, so we do have a fetish kit for you. So this has blindfolds, a collar and a leash. For him to put on him. Wrist cuffs, ankle cuffs, and a little spanking paddle. There you go. I have just upgraded. We're not doing the right thing. You pull this out. You pull that pad out. And you take control. Have a little fun. Yummy. Hey, I have to hide this from my mother. Listen, this would be a great time for you and your mom to have these conversations. Oh, no. She gets a pray for me.

"I'm not going to get it. I don't really have a black one person in my whole life. Damn. You do nice. I had somebody and I didn't forget that I blocked them, but I started hitting them up cursing them out. And it was black. And I'm like, oh, did he get that? Let me unblock the liver. Okay. So I'm like, maybe it did go through, that's the only time. I didn't forget though, I knew he was blocked. But yeah, sometimes both of us are too stubborn, and you're like, I know he wanted to talk to me and I definitely want to talk to him, but I'm not going to do it. And then it could just end. Yeah. Here you go. Have you ever been the person to make the first move after that when y'all get into an argument? Will you call and say sorry? Sorry. Dance, y'all. For me. That'll really throw a guy off. Oh no, for me, I was in a relationship on and off with somebody who likes to pick arguments to me. So I'm always apologizing for things that I didn't even do just 'cause I don't want to argue. It's like, oh, sorry. You're mad. I'm sorry that you're mad. I don't know why you're mad but okay, sorry. That's like a terrible apology. Yeah, I mean, I'm definitely, I have definitely been the person, even after a breakup. I don't know why. I'm sorry. But I've definitely been the person after the, you know, after the fight to come back and be like, babe, can you just talk about it? I've definitely been. But they have too. I feel like when you're in a long-term relationship, when you're messing with somebody for so long, you take turns. Yeah. You know? No, you take turns coming back. Sometimes you have to have holidays. Sometimes you gotta be the bigger person and sometimes you need them. You apologize first. Yeah. That'll really throw him off. And maybe I'm a masterpiece. Yes, let me tell you something. And it's really not that big of a deal. We make it so much more of a big deal than it has to be. Like to call somebody and be like, you know what? I do want to apologize, guys will go crazy over there. I do that all the time. And they think you're amazing. He'll be like, wow, I can't. They're like, no one's ever apologized. I don't know. It's for how you were affected by it. That was in my intentions. Right. And then he better apologize for his part too. Yeah. Because that's really the whole point. I'm really apologizing so you can apologize back to me. My funniest apology is, you know, you're really trash. And if that's disrespectful, I apologize because I don't want to be disrespectful, but it's true. But you're a trash. You're a fucking trash, but you know, I'm not a disrespectful person. And so if you find that disrespectful, I'm sorry, but that's the truth. Yeah, I mean, do you write better music? Do you write that in music when you're in a relationship and when you're single, you think? Give I've ever been single is probably just for echo. You're a serial relationship. I've always been in a relationship. Even if it's for a short time or a long time, whatever it is, I've always been a relationship. I think for me the good parts is that in my mind, because I have a very visual mind in my mind, I could take a happy moment and flip it, make it sad. Because that's what music allows me to do just really mess around with the truth and the fiction..

Whatever madness is happening in the world, I told my management until they were like, I don't want to be a part of this. Like let me just be at home and feel good upstairs.

I will say, you know, a woman of steel, first of all, when I chose that name for my album, I was thinking more of how to go about my daily activities without allowing the world to crush me, you know, with their expectations with their thoughts with their words. Just, you know, bulldozing through all the services, say, BS. And that's where women are still doing apologize for BS. Yeah, I just did. After all the rest of this show. I realized it.

"I was like, this is uncomfortable. And then it doesn't work if you don't put the cotton. Like if you don't use the applicator. So it just kept sliding back out. And I was like, this is terrible. And I understand what I'm supposed to be doing. I just recently stayed in tampons has been, I started last year. I've always used pods, but you know, signed tree pods. They can give infections because I had an infection from the past. Those things, you know, it has like on the inside that turns that into all these chemicals, over the years. Absolutely. But yeah, when you're performing, right? Because you go in when you perform, how can you put in an uncomfortable and a pad? I'm just asking. Even just sitting down is uncomfortable. But I'm just really blessed to be one of the females that don't exactly experience a lot of pain on their period. So I'm able to go ahead and do everything I want to do perform dance. Recently realized that the tampon, okay, this is the reason why it stays in the top one. Because I just learned how to swim. I don't know how to swim stem. I'm the only person in here that doesn't know how to definitely know how to. Did you do it? Okay, so break this down for me. So you decided you needed to learn how to swim. Oh, fascinated by that. Yes. COVID year really just did a lot. I just really had time to reflect on life and just think to myself, what are the few things like, you know, get myself into that that would, you know, just really make me happy, let me help me get my mind less tense. I learned how to write the bicycle, then this is crazy. And then I learned how to swim so I was thinking swimming classes. And then I really was excited about it, 'cause I said it floated. And I was like, oh my God. You don't know how crippling it is to not know how to swim. It is crippling. I love that. I love that. But then what happened was that because it was really, I always woke up in the morning very excited for my swim classes. Then one day, the period decided to come. And I said making cold. Do I do this? Because I don't want to miss my swimming closet. I love it. I don't want to believe in the pool. I'll just put it in there. Look, I messed up about four or 5. I didn't understand the technique. But it hurts on the way in and then when I am back, but they also have the cups now. And they're reusable, so they're amazing. You know they also have the cups for, you know, when your bladder is weak, and I go from zero to a hundred when I have to eat it. So pick up. They have the peacocks. And I used to drink this out when we tried them. I was like, they gave them to me. And I was like, yo, I mean, you know when you're at the club and you drink it, and then the lime belong as well. So you could just feel yourself. So it's like a cup and it helps you. Hold, if you squirt, you wait until you squirt a little, you go to the it's crazy. If you squirt a little. Yeah, like you know when you gotta go really fast and sometimes you get, yeah, I call it the heavy heat with my dog. They send it 'cause you know there's women that they have after having kids and so you have vaginal rejuvenation with the laser is because our smoke and I would cough and I would pee on myself a little bit and it happened one too many times..

"It only happened for like two days, and they had the help protection us come to school. And you know, show us how to wear a condom. That was the most important thing to them at the point in time. So they add the dildo looking things and slid the condoms on them. Okay. So that was my first understanding of, you know, sex, but I never had a conversation with my parents, and never happened. The clothes as to sex in a sentence that I probably heard from my mom who told my mom at some point was when I asked her, mommy, what does it mean to be sexy? I think that was the only time. What did she say? I can't remember because I feel like my mother just dodged question. She just went like this like that like this I like that and boom the question is no answer. And you still never got an answer. I got my period. I didn't even know what it was. My mama's just like, put this pad on. I didn't know what was happening. When I caught my period, my mom didn't tell me nothing either. I didn't even tell her. I didn't think about telling her first. So my friend called it first and I laughed at her a week later. I called it. So I just went back to her. And that's how I felt at that time. I called the period. My mom was at work. She worked 24/7. So it was like when she found out like three days later. Did you have pads in the house and everything? I love my, I love my friend, my childhood friend. She came downstairs and gave me like a whole box of pads because her mom bought her too. Do you remember learning how to use tampons? Yeah. I was one of the special ones. I didn't want to use a tampon. I don't like it. So I would rather, it's crazy. Uh oh. I would rather use tissue. You put toilet paper in your underwear. I was doing that to do that. And my mom had to take me to my aunt and tell her, please talk to this young lady. A lot of persuasion. I like the, you know, it has a feel. The nylon. I don't like tampons now. And you throw it inside yourself. I hate tampons. I only wear them when I have to. I owe the sisters, so they taught me, you know, I learned. My mother didn't teach me, but my oldest sister is. Cheerleading in high school. We had to wear tampons. Because we used to have fun. Yeah, that would be terrible if you did a somersault in your yeah, it was in the winter. With a string with your like, not me, but I've had some of my cheer mates. Like the string when they do. Imagine it happening in the strip club. It's easy way to do clothes. Imagine a girl bending over and the string just hanging out. I've seen it happen. That's how I've seen it a lot. But you can't wear a pad in a ship club. Imagine you dancing. Imagine a girl dancing in front of you and all of a sudden she's been over in this little string Bangalore. I didn't know how to use it. I had to tell girls plenty of times. I was like, are you a damn astray? I had to be the pamphlet and I still was doing it wrong. You put the whole applicator in every day.

"Not sure we love it when a heart hits the river because when he calls the check raise some of his range is going to be something with some kind of heart right. Yeah and that's your call. When he has a heart. This small raise might get called a little more often than a bigger raise. Would like if you just check. Shove the turn. I don't know if check raising now is better than check shoving now if the plan is to stick it all in on the river. I mean obviously the advantage of doing this. Is you win that extra twelve five when he has no choice but to fold so he calls you raise here and then he has to call it that but then he has no choice to fold on on the unelected rivers So you win that extra money. So i guess that's the argument for for check- raising small here like let's say he has something i mean. We didn't really mention his hands in his potential range. Let's say something like six seven with a six of hearts. Do we think he calls. When the river comes a queen of hearts and we jam. I do in a fifteen dollar. I mean he he will be getting a decent dish price. That's true. yeah. It's not such a bad price. I mean by the time he calls. There's going to be what sixty two in there and you only have one another fifty behind. Yeah fifty five okay. Well it's not a great price. Yeah really only. It's close to two to one. So yeah i mean. I'm not saying he should call with with just the six of hearts but I think that he would but he wouldn't now. So i liked this play because it's little greedier. It's actually a little greedier. If the plan all along is to shove shoving on the turn is going to work a lot more often or maybe not a lot more often but certainly more often than this little raise and then shutting the river yet. Maybe maybe the trick here would have been to bet an amount that gets him to call with a heart but gives them the wrong price to call with the heart and then shovel non heart rivers. I don't know if we can find that price though because yemi any raise you make on the turn. That's going to price him. Out of drawing to his flush pre going to set up a bad. It goes up too good of a price on the river Because we're just running out of chips right. Yeah maybe just. Maybe if we're going to make this move maybe we should just be jamming. Yeah but i don't hate it because you do win the extra twelve five those times that he calls this and folds on the end true. So there's there is a case to be made for for doing this. Cute little irresistible. Small check raise the price. He's getting on that check raise is like what is that another fifty thousand in there going causing him twelve to call. Yeah yeah he's getting a we. I wonder if i made. It just should've made slightly bigger. Yeah it's hard to tinker with those numbers because the bigger you make this bed the smaller your river pets be and the better price will be getting. Then that's true also. It's just hard to play this size..

She's put on So far for the stars content so anyways to to get. Let's get past the trolling stuff a little bit. So if The way that offer sheets work is that if a player is in a restricted free agent. Right they can sign an offer sheet with a team that does not radically mean that they go toward to that team gay. They still belong as property of their former clubs. So in this case kotkin. Niamey is still property of montreal. Canadian of the canadians all right. But if he signs the sheet that he if The montreal canadians except the sheet as it is that means that he would then become property of the carolina hurricanes now what carolina has to give in return in retribution for signing kotkin. Yemi is a first round pick in a third round pick. I don't know what year it would be exactly. I believe it would be the corresponding year. So the upcoming year but coming years okay. So it has the upcoming year so he they would get they would have to give up a first and third so the big question right now and they haven't so Friday at five pm to decide if they will take that first round in third round pick or they will match the offer.

"They claim to get their beer out to the people that wanted their beer. And you you you saw people get really really really scrappy with with what it means to run a business and you know adult ice cream trucks driving around cincinnati people selling your margaritas to go into like i. There were there. Were times where you know. I'm ordering dinner with my wife and we're getting you know cocktails in jars and were sitting. Hopefully this is awesome. There's definitely a couple of things that i hope. Stick around. think they were signed into law that they are going to stick around through this. I was talking about like excuses to get away from family. Gatherings can't come word worried guys but like seeing people adapt the way that they did makes me feel so much better about craft beer especially locally man. I don't know what other cities were like. I'm assume it's probably about the same and it makes me feel like that. No matter what happens. People can adapt really well crafted. Can i mean. That's that is what craft beers. Ballot is like this adaptation. This just what's about creativity innovation. You're in you're up against the wall. That's thank you as when you shine. Creativity innovation. So br brewers are artists. Let's i'm a scientist say scientists. You're an artist. And i think you know artist tend to have that imagination on how to do things that make things different than survival so not surprised by all that i think also cincinnati. We only lost yemi. And so i don't even know if that was covertly the places that i think there were. I'd have to look at my list. Actually i don't remember now the so rock bottom closed somebody else close to wyche slate but that was before. I still miss blank slate. Well he's still. I'm drawing a blank right now and you guys can send me angry emails. That i'm an idiot. For the dayton lost any but speaking of rock bottom it was definitely not covert related and i put the nail in the coffin but the company had declared bankruptcy already. It was it was coming. We in my mind. We didn't lose..

"Auto is ready to pay persson. And i first and the third is all. It's gonna cost me. I'd probably do that. Yeah yeah or even take it one step further. Go to six point two. And it's a first a second third. So yeah i. It's going to be more if it's going to happen at all and i i'll go on the record right now saying it's not going to happen but if it's going to happen at all that's where it's going to happen. It's going to happen in the middle range or the lower rage. The guys that you can get who people think are are only a two million dollar i will. We'll offer three and a half or four and sign him to that offer sheet and let's not forget You have no idea how many players are approached about an offer sheet. All we know is nobody signed one right like in a player an option. It's not okay. We're going to give this guy this money. You give us that. The player has to cite it. The blair say yep. I'm okay with that all here. That's the step that people may be. Forget about and are is a player really interested in doing that and going somewhere else right you. It's it's not just what we're willing to pay him. The player asked me willing to come right. Yeah and it's a. It's interesting that it was mark. Berge ivana did it. Two years ago. I started to wonder when i see. The logan may use election if mark berge van is kind of a just likes that that salmon mentality of swimming upstream where everybody else is turning left. He wants to turn right right he just. He was fearless in the offer. Sheet one at a time when almost nobody tries it and then he tries and does this and takes a big left. Turn on everybody with the logan. May you drafting I wonder if there's a little party his personality in his makeup that he likes the attention. That goes with these unpopular picks. Yeah and if he really wants to go back to the same well he can. Because carolina's got Andrea stretch niqab sitting there as an rfa's only twenty one years old. Maybe that's a guy. Yeah and i think. I mentioned it back in the springtime. You know. there's an opportunity if we're if we are talking about brady. Chuck is a possibility. This a chance to undo that number three overall selection keep the number three overall selection and godkin yemi and maybe get the guy. You should have gotten all along and brady chuck by way of an offer sheet but Eight now we've probably invested too much breath on this. It's probably not going to happen. But again i'm not. I'm not going to dismiss it in its entirety. Jackal is going to be traded almost certainly as the buffalo sabres burn this thing to the ground and I mean i don't know exactly where he's going. I don't know exactly what he's worth. What are you give up for. A guy like jack eichel. Because he's got that next thing. I wonder if it's legit or not you know i am necks and backs. They're always hard. If you get a real good handle on medically speaking seems to me. The more they talk about keeping jack eichel around in buffalo. The more sore that neck gets and the more discussion there is about a trade the better. he's feeling i'm kidding but It seems like That would be a difficult one to know what to give up in terms of acquiring. Jack what do you think. yeah no. you're absolutely right. It's it's very it's scary..

That it is a remarkable work like yemi time as a bishop was taxing grueling difficult and men. Life's shirt became more simple once that was released but it was phenomenal. Like i literally sat across the desk watching the savior transform. People's lives like it was remark much as one of many of the miracles eyewitness on a constant basis right. But here's this. let me let me take it in a different direction with this of. Why would anybody want to lead while. There's this Some there's this organizational dissonance that crept up in our culture. The purpose of the church of the restored gospel is remarkable. I mean can we just all agree on that like stepping back and looking at what the church is trying to do or what god is trying to do through the church. I mean that is remarkable when you consider the ordinances when you consider the saving when you consider the connecting people to the grace of christ like okay. That's phenomenal right.

"Let's get back to joaquin neiman. Did was there. Anyone who would have been the person that you would have been the most nervous to be around either to have played with or walk by on the range. Or if they're watching you hit balls on the range you'd have been nervous to be around. Who someone that that at that age would have major nervous riley. Yeah probably playing around here. I think i think the first time i saw was the moriarty was late north third or four tournament which Experience i remember. I was playing great. I was almost the last ruben sunday. I mean i could hear that. There was not only ten groups front but i could hear everything that's note and the people following him by think. Sergio helped me a lot to like. Get that pressure off. You know like lie. Know him. Before i turn pro. I will to play with him before on unknown how good they are also know that i can like i can be here. You know. I was actually at that memorial that year and i remember watching. Ut off on the tenth hole once. i'd never seen you hit a ball in person and it just stuck out to me immediately and do on tv. And i'm sure you hear a lot about how low you hit the ball and i'm just curious. Has that always been the case. And is that something that you know you. You were aware of growing up or any special reason. Why would hit the ball. Low and chile. Or do you think about that at all non. It was is fine because at the beginning that league union a lot of confidence. When i'm like a little bit nebulous son. I need to hit the way. I'll heed that show on a new. I remember when i start being professional a using. That showed that now during the time. Yeah i've been using it less. I'd i'd be using more hydro. I'm just trying to hit farther on. May i have that show that. I feel really confident when a heated unease yummies late may go to That's what i was. I was curious. And i was looking back at the highlights from when you won at greenbrier every now and then that forty one foot apex driver shot comes out and i was. I was just interesting because of how different the game appear the direction. The game appears to be heading seems to be you know track man. Everyone's telling you hit it high. Hit hi hi. I'm wondering if you know as you were transitioning from amador into pareo if anybody came along and said hey you could hit it this much further if you hit it higher or but i think what you just said though it's interesting how you've you've prioritized accuracy. But i'm wondering if if that has evolved at all over the years. I remember when i played. Infirm courses The bogus along. Way i Relate to two seventy and he runs it. Depends on the fairway ferry. Sometimes when their firm for example greenbrier they allowed so sometimes is not that short by yemi normally. I've been preferring. yes More with hydro. Sometimes i got bunkers around when he died. I'm like are now monday. Just gonna he'd been the hydro and the beginning. I was really. I don't know if i was a little bit more secure or no but early. I prefer yesterday that low one being more coffee when the on knowing that i'm gonna hit the airway but now he's more like a feel like i feel better on the course right now and i just. I just thought that showed that like more. And he's been pretty good lately. So i like it do you feel. Where do you feel most comfortable. Like firm and fast conditions or when when it softer yeah. I like away. When when he's firm. I know that. I don't hear really really high with the also with the iron. So it is hard to me to stub on own the green when i when i'm lega 5-iron their firm 'cause i don't get it like really high but yeah i mean like bain with firm conditions. I think is is more fun on unb lehner green or heating widgets from the hundred twenty yards is is is good to see that like bouncing around the great in those more fun. Yeah i mean. I find it interesting you know. Obviously when it's firm your drivers going to run out a lot more but like you said it's hard to hold greens. If you hit it low and i i wanna talk a little about royal melbourne in the president's cup. You know you have it's interesting. You didn't have the most success at royal melbourne yet at the same time at olympia fields this year which was very firm and fast you finish third. And i'm i wanna talk a lot about role melvin. But first off. I would say. Did you learn anything in particular from that week. That helped you in later situations when it is going to be firm and fast. Yeah more than of course it was more like the atmosphere. Unlike the like getting that amount of pressure it was one of those way i mean the whole way was really intense. On the course roy ever was unbelievable. I mean i think he's one of my favorite right now. Unease eighty s a lot of strategy. I remember ernie was standing us. They don't in many drivers.

Scaling an Amazon Business to 8 Figures with Fernando Cruz of Marketplace Ops

"Ladies and gentlemen welcome bouts the amazing FBI? Paul Kasey placed beef. You base. Tell us alone fats. A lot of what we discussed is one of the US particularly as well. Today's guest is no exception. As phenomena crews of marketplace ops and Pixel Fi- they supercharge Amazon sales with bronze by managing their accounts amongst other things. And I'd Pixel fight as other things as well so warm. Welcome to the show. Thanks man appreciate you having me so no problem so I know that one of the things you've done creighton eight Vega Amazon brand yourself in a very short time. Is it three years that you've done something five years three as okay? So this obviously Quite the achievement. So that's the thing I want to dig into today but I want to put the angle of surviving and thriving in in difficult. Times obviously wearing unusual times right now and I think it's not a bad thing to create anyway a business. That's robust right in good times but particularly with excellent now so Tell me the basic story that obviously eight figures threes. That's that's an impressive numbers. Someone the basics. How did you arrive at that? Yeah I mean obviously? It was with the caveat that it's not during cove nineteen does a little bit easier but Yeah I mean you know. The story is my business partner and I were best friends from college. We we'd come from Tech. We had like a a background in kind of like high growth companies and a Yemi we each put in. I think a twenty grand into the business at the time and And we tried building actually like our own shop vice store for several months and we realized like Oh man this is really really hard finding customers getting into buying our website and we tried that Friday for about five months And then you know well. We decided to do what we're running out of money is. We're like okay. This was originally our passion project. And we're like okay. You know screw passion. We just need to make money because like identity Ended up having to live with your parents again and And that was kind of like a last resort in so we kinda works. Well what about this like selling stuff on Amazon were were buying everything there anyways like? Can you even do that? we found a course online like donald it And honesty we just pivoted like we didn't even a ton of time thinking about it is like this current business is not working And at the end of the day we don't want to go back and move in with our moms and so yeah I mean we. We didn't look back. I mean we were definitely a pretty lucky at Are A. We started with four products at the same time. And so that helped US learn a lot. I don't recommend that strategy For people who are starting out. I think it's probably better to go a little bit slower but you know again. We were running out of money. We need to figure stuff out and we hired a coach right in the beginning. I think that was super super helpful Just because he was already doing forty forty five grand a month But you know we're able to make so many less mistakes I we still don't get me wrong but by having that coach in your corner Hey you need to get used to giveaways You need to order more inventory. You need to do this unity. This and really helped us like learning the basics in the beginning and Yeah it was. It was Super Super Helpful. And then maybe like our six seven product was just like a home run and it basically we. We had to borrow money from family and friends just to order more inventory to keep in stock and so it was kind of Cinderella Story to begin with Where the parties that we started with those first four it okay. We discontinued most of them. We didn't reorder Tanaz. We learned a lot of lessons of niches that were too competitive But we we had some that were. We'd one that was a decent success in ended up dying a few months later but it was like okay. This really proves the model and second in that first month on Amazon. We did more than like five months on shoppers. I combined in Zora okay. This really works and so we just need to refine how we're choosing products And so we really started focusing on that area of the business because we knew that would cut I control how are futures specifically on Amazon? Yeah and then we ended up doing a little over two million that first year and then once we hit that home run product. We really started expanding That product line in in really focusing in that was kind of how we basically got to the ten million. We definitely borrowed a ton of money from family and friends. Kinda help us again like Placing those peos air shipping everything just because we couldn't Get everything done is really sloppy to be to be honest. We kinda like Stumbled our way through it But those kind of a lot of the story. Wow Okay so that does really quite the interesting story. I mean So I was going to ask you about an the capitalization Because obviously if you're editing to billion dollars in a year you're going to run out the amount of money you put into the machine to start with but I just wanted to just go out to the store. I mean very funny because he's also always I've got a new because studying ECOMMERCE leader with my friend Jason Miles. Who is a massive shoplift by fumble and is doing very very well without and help sort of Amazon base people to a pivot? Some of that business I would say shall proviso instincts have the opposite conversation where you find it really hard. What was it about the you've found so tricky with just briefly getting into. Yeah so I think Good question so at the time. And you know we're thinking very binary right and so we came from tech and so you know the tech business model is very clear right. You raise a lot of money. Needed grow faster than everyone else. Which means you spend a lot more You every round of of equity financing you kind of a you delete. Delete Yourself And hopefully at the end like you're successful and then you sell a huge amount of money you get a percentage of that and you make a ton of money and we'd seen our and we kind of had mixed feelings around that light. You know you you. You're starting business to be your own boss but by raising a venture capital you now have a boss and you hear all these stories of these. Ceo's get moved out of their own companies and so we very early on mid the distinction of life we bootstrap this company And so basically means not taking out like for US equity financing and so we were comfortable raising debt and a very specific thing but we found was. We were afraid of spending a lot of money on ads to be honest at the time that we weren't like comfortable spending on facebook or even like Amazon or this before we're on And so we're like okay. Well the best way to do it is to to build partnerships in that comes along with their background like I was the head of sales before But yet partnerships and then our with blogs so like doing seo content and stuff but because we were bootstrapped. Only a finite amount of money to start with. I think at least for us will we've found is the time that it tasted get a blog from like zero to having enough customers to generate enough. Income is too long and we were doing this. Full time That was our challenge if we kind of found a a more hybrid strategy. Which is we figured out paid ads so we could actually generate more customers a lot faster than I think. That would definitely worked on shop but it is something that we weren't really comfortable with the time to be totally honest And I think that's kind of wire shop if I was doomed from beginning it may sound like a funny question to somebody when get somebody on his massively successful in areas to US why they didn't decide whether another one I think it's important to follow the reality of somebody's story and not enough interesting In soon reality now I guess what happened in this that you you turned your cash into cash again quicker than the model that you were trying to follow was gone it in and spice the yet trying to because I think fulltime you can't wait for takeoff right Tell me about the next question. Sorry bothers buys thing. You've obviously got the success in terms of the revenue so we have to dig into the details How much money did you end up barring that first year if I may ask question yeah no? It's fine courtship so we borrowed originally? I WANNA say I bought a lot. I think it was maybe two hundred two hundred and fifty grand And so yeah. We went to like everyone that we knew that was high net worth. I think it started with like thirty from one friend. Thirty from one of our parents. I think it was. My Mom. Ed's start with sixty and it was. It was going really well in. We aware introducing more products in that. Funding is if you if your products take off you need more cash again to keep them in stock in so they kept doing really well and so we just kept Compounding our problem in so we can refinance out one of those thirty I think for like a hundred I would say in the first year. We probably raise two hundred grand in that first year.

Thanks for your help. You're supposed to tip your house cleaner write about kicking into their disability insurance from American public media. This is marketplace tech demystifying the digital economy on jed Kim in for. Molly would. Some might consider domestic employees the original gig workers. There are a lot of similarities like intermittent income, and no real safety net is a problem that affects millions of workers like nannies caregivers and housecleaners the national domestic workers Lance is trying to change this. There's something it calls its innovation arm and DWA labs. It's bringing financial tech to domestic workers. It's new platform called Leah directs digital payments towards benefits for housecleaners. Marketplace's Lila Goldstein talked with one user about the platform, alleviate Mahia is a house cleaner in Brooklyn. Her son David is in the third grade and has a lot of school trips in always always he won. I can go with him. It used to be saying, yes, meant losing income. But last year, she went with her son's class to the prospect park zoo and still got paid thanks to a platform called Leah. It helps gig workers like her earned benefits. Like paid time off she pulls up the website on her phone Huma Boya plataforma. The leeann is the Mittel me contra Sania, she logs in chooses the worker option and sees a total dollar amount. It's money clients have contributed specifically for benefits clients select the client option find their house cleaners account and choose whether to give the platform recommends five dollars per cleaning this money can only be used for benefits offered by Leah then go toward or contracts. Didn't they eat thing goals will they be their Mahy is taken out life insurance and accident insurance. She also took to pay days off. Here's how bad stun when a worker reaches one hundred twenty dollars on a Lia. They can trade it in for a prepaid visa card like a lot of financial tech tools. Elliott automates something that can be complicated for workers to do on their own longtime workers advocate Pollock Shah helped develop the Elliott platform. What technology is really doing is in neighboring all. All of these multiple parties coordinating them taking all this transactions. Putting it all in one place, and allowing for the worker to be able to draw down those benefits, and it gives clients a more formal way to contribute to benefits Mahia is already comfortable communicating virtually she rarely sees her clients. She just text them notamment them excluding this. They huddle Yemi Leoneto soda. She gets a key. And they leave her money on the table at first Mahia was a bit embarrassed to leave fliers inviting her clients to use a Leah. But then she thought about all the other types of workers who get benefits oughta Mattingly. You don't think benefits you one the toll moon, though, that I don't know if you've seen us, they a whole ISM benefits us. She thought why not me, but you'll notice way at the net. The Goldstein brought us that story alita currently doesn't offer some really important benefits. No health insurance, no retirement plan. But as the gig economy grows. More workers will be looking for alternative ways to get the benefits. They need. And now for some related links. You may remember that Uber recently settled with drivers in California and Massachusetts for twenty million dollars. The lawsuit raises the question of whether drivers are fully employed as or just contractors the agreement won't end that debate. But it does that an average of about twenty two hundred dollars per driver. In those states NBC reports that the settlement amount is pretty favorable for Uber, which is trying to sign up. Its image ahead of an IPO. Uber has kept the number of lawsuits from drivers down by making it the default that legal disputes, go through arbitration, beware. The wrath of the rideshare driver though. More than twelve thousand have opted to go through arbitration now Hoover foots, the fifteen hundred dollars filing fee, for such cases and Gizmodo calculates that comes to about nineteen million dollars in fees for Uber. There've been several other settlements for the company, but none that would seem to break the Bank after all we're is expecting to be valued at one hundred twenty billion dollars. I'm jed Kim.

The Bush legacy in the Gulf

The Bush legacy in the Gulf

"So US troops went to Saudi Arabia that pissed off a lot of people in Saudi Arabia, especially some of the more hardline Muslim player clerics because it was like, oh, these infidel troops are in Saudi Arabia. We should have had like Muslim troops and also like Saudi had been spending all this money their military. And then all of a sudden, they're like, wait even spending all this money, and you still have to call America. Like, what the hell have you been spending this money on then? So it it made a lot of people mad, including a person you also may remember Osama bin Laden who is very mad as a result at the Saudis for doing this and at the Americans. So you have that kind of kicked off that legacy. Right. That we know where that kind of ended or hasn't ended as the case may be you also have the fact that afterwards the US forces convinced Saddam to draw from Kuwait and go back to Baghdad so George H W Bush meat decision on purpose. Not to continue to send American. All the way to Baghdad to try to overthrow Saddam. He continues to do things like threaten the region and threaten America and just in general behave very badly, and because of that decision some people in the George H W Bush administration thought shit, maybe we should have overthrown him. A lot of those people also happen to show back up when his son George W Bush is then president, and they're they're they're like looks at I'm still there. He's hasn't gone away. He still behaving badly he still threatening the region and that in a large part helped lay the groundwork for okay now for real in two thousand three we're going to overthrow Saddam. And so that kicked off this whole world that we live in now with the Middle East in pay off. I don't know about that take on it. Right. Like, it is true that the George W Bush people decided, partly because George H W Bush had gotten them entangled Niro. To launch the Iraq war as we know it today, but they didn't have to do, you know? Absolutely. And I don't wanna lose sight of the fact that when George H W Bush was president some Hussein literally invaded and tried to annex neighbor rate. Like, what are you going to do? Are you just going to let him do that? This is an Russia. That's a nuclear armed power. Right. This was a country testing the limits of what it could get away with the US Marshall international coalition to stop the forcible annexation of another country's territory. Right. That to me seems like an accomplishment defending Yemi where people criticized Bush for Bruening sovereignty in Panama, people praise him for defending it in the Kuwaits. Yeah. I think it's really interesting to note that when he passed when George Hw past towers in Kuwait were lit up with his portrait and with Kuwait and US flags he is still revered and people name their children Bush. Like in Kuwait, it he is still seeing as this savior in a non religious sense, right? That that helped Kuwait get its country back. So there's a real lasting legacy there to probably the biggest and hottest to wrap your mind around accomplishment of George Hw, at least in my mind. This is my peck is the way that he shepherd at the end of the Cold War. It's easy for us to lose track of what was happening at the time when Bush came into office, right? The Soviet Union was disintegrating. The Berlin Wall fell in nineteen eighty nine right in Bush won the nineteen eighty eight elections came into office in January nineteen eighty nine. He was dealing with this massive transition in global politics where the state of Russia's we know today was emerging in lots of different Soviet republics. Like Georgia were leaving the country that they were part of the Soviets had nuclear weapons stationed in a bunch of other countries like Ukraine, for instance, which wanted to keep the nuclear weapons when it became independent which would. Been entirely different world. If you can imagine nukes being all around Europe, where the Soviets station them or central Asians in cases. This was a massive massive problem. Another facet of it was what to do about Germany to allow Germany to reunified we oppose German reunification or the terms that we sat for east and west to come together. Again, what do we do about NATO this alliance that was structured as an anti-soviet organization, but now the Warsaw Pact essentially, just disintegrate, right?.

"Support for this podcast and the following message. Come from internet essentials from Comcast. Connecting more than six million low income people to low cost high speed internet at home. So students are ready for homework class graduation and more. Now, they're ready for anything. Mexico has put more police on the streets and Tijuana where thousands of central Americans are waiting for their chance to cross the border to the US. This comes a day after US border patrol in San Diego, fired tear gas at migrants were trying to cross the troll says some migrants were throwing rocks. And in a moment will hear more about that decision to use tear gas. I we go to reporter James Frederick n t one. Oh, and James you've been there for a couple of days. Now, what is the atmosphere like at this point? Well, it definitely feels and looks different today than it did yesterday. The first thing I noticed pulling up here is there is a lot more police around this government run shelter here in p wanna so. So I mean, there's basically a one block radius where there are dozens if not hundreds of Mexican federal police and some military here they won't say exactly what they're doing here. But it's pretty clear that they want to have security right here right outside the shelter. So another March cannot start and then talking with migrants. I mean, they are really thrown off after yesterday's events. Can you tell us more about that? What are you hearing from them? People are scared and worried after yesterday's events. I think it throws them even more into limbo than they were before yesterday's events. I spoke to this hundred woman elva inside the shelter today. Yemi in the men gonna disagree. The man then that the. So what what Elvis saying there is that you know after yesterday's events. She just doesn't know if she can continue, you know, it almost makes her feel like she should go home. She's very scared now, and she really has the feeling after yesterday's events that there's no way President Trump is going to let them into the country. And so she's really stuck in doesn't know what to do next. I mean, what choices do they have if people talked about any alternatives? Well, the first thing is they can request the Silom. And that's what a lot of them are doing, but that's not so easy and Tijuana's just walking up to the border and saying you want to request asylum since so many asylum seekers have arrived here at the border. There is a list you have to put your name on the current waiting on that list is more than a month. And that was for people who arrived before the caravan. So it's much longer. Now talking to other people in the caravan other options are to be smuggled across the border to find a more remote area. They might go into if they feel like there's no legal way for them. To get in. They see that as an option, and then the other option is returned home. But as we know lots of these people are facing, very serious real threats of violence and would put themselves back into very dangerous situations going home. In the meantime, President Trump has tweeted that unless Mexico deports the migrants the US will quote, close the border permanently. What sort of reaction is that getting in Mexico? Well, the the first thing is that it's really hard for migrants. Understand. What's going on? Things are constantly changing. There's not great access to information. They get most of their information just word of mouth. So it's hard for them to make a decision based on you know, currently, you're constantly changing conditions. De other big issue is that Mexico's government is changing this Saturday. And so there's I'm really getting the impression right now that the current administration, which is leaving just has no incentive to make any big decisions. Have make any big actions on. On behalf of the migrants. And so really we're just waiting for a new government in Mexico to see what decision they make. That's James Frederick reporting from Tijuana Mexico. Thank you. Thanks, audrey.
