WEBVTT

1
00:00:24.679 --> 00:00:25.679
<v Speaker 1>PBM family.

2
00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:31.199
<v Speaker 2>The day has come. It is Prepper Camp eve, and

3
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:37.079
<v Speaker 2>the Intrepid Commander is nearly ready, nearly few things left

4
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:42.880
<v Speaker 2>to do, but pretty damn close and looking forward to

5
00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:46.679
<v Speaker 2>the new location. Man, looking forward to Well, I'll give

6
00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:49.280
<v Speaker 2>you a little I'll give you a little tea. How's

7
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:52.719
<v Speaker 2>that sound you want a little? A little surprised that

8
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:56.479
<v Speaker 2>no one else really knows as of yet, there will

9
00:00:56.520 --> 00:01:01.920
<v Speaker 2>be no disaster coffee at Prepper Camp twenty six. Yeah,

10
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:07.719
<v Speaker 2>something happened with the disaster coffee order. We will have coffee.

11
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:11.000
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna get to taste something that is actually even

12
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:13.280
<v Speaker 2>rarer than disaster coffee.

13
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:16.159
<v Speaker 1>Which is kind of cool. It's even rare. It's called

14
00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:18.879
<v Speaker 1>the Morning Bugle.

15
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:26.519
<v Speaker 2>It's Richmond, a Richmond roaster. That is the only coffee.

16
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:31.560
<v Speaker 2>I actually have it right here next to me, the

17
00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:34.799
<v Speaker 2>only coffee that I really truly love.

18
00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:37.159
<v Speaker 1>As much as disaster coffee.

19
00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:43.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's it's an amazing I started going to this

20
00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:47.439
<v Speaker 2>cafe years ago, I've talked about it on the show before,

21
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:50.200
<v Speaker 2>and just fell in love with their coffee.

22
00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:50.879
<v Speaker 1>Man, And.

23
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:56.359
<v Speaker 2>I said, I was, I was freaking out as I

24
00:01:56.359 --> 00:02:00.599
<v Speaker 2>saw something happened. The coffee had not left California, and

25
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:02.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying to myself, oh, this is not looking good.

26
00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:06.319
<v Speaker 2>And lo and behold the beginning of the next week

27
00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:09.000
<v Speaker 2>still hadn't and I said, oh, yeah, this is not

28
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:09.599
<v Speaker 2>gonna happen.

29
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:10.879
<v Speaker 1>We're not gonna have it.

30
00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:13.680
<v Speaker 2>And then all of a sudden, I said to myself,

31
00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:16.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, okay, this is kind of you know, worst

32
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:16.599
<v Speaker 2>case scenario.

33
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:18.319
<v Speaker 1>What are we gonna do? How do we make.

34
00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:21.240
<v Speaker 2>How do we replace disaster coffee?

35
00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:22.759
<v Speaker 1>It's impossible?

36
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:25.879
<v Speaker 2>And I said, the only guy I can call on,

37
00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:28.960
<v Speaker 2>the only backup QB I got that can get it done,

38
00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:35.560
<v Speaker 2>is my morning brew from the bakery, you know. And

39
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:40.360
<v Speaker 2>luckily they had I got everything, you know what I mean.

40
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:43.400
<v Speaker 2>And luckily they had it there and it's being ground

41
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:44.879
<v Speaker 2>up now. I'm gonna go back and pick it up.

42
00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:47.960
<v Speaker 2>So you're gonna get a chance to have James's second

43
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:50.360
<v Speaker 2>favorite coffee this weekend if you're coming to Prever Camp,

44
00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:52.759
<v Speaker 2>and you'll you know, it's like I said, it's a

45
00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:56.199
<v Speaker 2>local roaster, so it's not something that really a lot

46
00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:59.400
<v Speaker 2>of people have ever had or likely will have again.

47
00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:04.840
<v Speaker 2>But it's an amazing coffee. You're gonna love it. The

48
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:08.199
<v Speaker 2>booth is gonna look pretty PBN outfitted as well, so

49
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:10.680
<v Speaker 2>it'll it's not the end of the world. I think

50
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:13.599
<v Speaker 2>that we don't have disaster coffee because we have a

51
00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:16.840
<v Speaker 2>big but I got a big PBN banner printed and

52
00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:19.800
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna be We're gonna be doing a bunch of things.

53
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:24.879
<v Speaker 1>Man. But on the road tomorrow, the long haul. The long.

54
00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:30.039
<v Speaker 2>Really the greatest amount of time that I spend away

55
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:34.479
<v Speaker 2>from my family at large, you know, happens during prepper camp,

56
00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:37.479
<v Speaker 2>though not in August typically. Though I am a little

57
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:42.199
<v Speaker 2>excited because with August being Prepper Camp, I have foregone

58
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:45.680
<v Speaker 2>something that I've always loved to do with my wife,

59
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:50.000
<v Speaker 2>which was the State Fair. And since twenty nineteen, I

60
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:53.199
<v Speaker 2>think it was two yeah, twenty nineteen, I have foregone

61
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:58.360
<v Speaker 2>the State Fair. So you know me, I'm not big

62
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:00.840
<v Speaker 2>on missing things with family, you know what I mean.

63
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:04.840
<v Speaker 2>It's actually one of my worst I hate it. But

64
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:08.719
<v Speaker 2>the State Fair for my family has long been my

65
00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:11.840
<v Speaker 2>wife and the two kids, sometimes a brother in law

66
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:14.479
<v Speaker 2>sometimes you know what I mean, tag along, but not

67
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:21.480
<v Speaker 2>very often. So now with Prepper Camp having moved, oh Man,

68
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:25.240
<v Speaker 2>Dad gets to return to the Virginia State Fair for

69
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:30.120
<v Speaker 2>one of those incredible barbecue par fays, some of those

70
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:36.319
<v Speaker 2>incredible donut cheeseburgers, oh Man, deep fried oreos, all that

71
00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:40.319
<v Speaker 2>good stuff. You know, the State Fair takes at least

72
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:45.560
<v Speaker 2>three months off my life, you know, at least three

73
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:47.000
<v Speaker 2>months off the life.

74
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so I'm looking forward to it.

75
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:58.480
<v Speaker 2>Man Prepper Camp twenty twenty six at the try On, Well,

76
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:00.199
<v Speaker 2>he probably eat better than we ever had have.

77
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:01.680
<v Speaker 1>I tapped out.

78
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:06.240
<v Speaker 2>I got a book, I got a hotel room.

79
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:07.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I don't know. I just did.

80
00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:10.959
<v Speaker 2>I just I figured it's here, it's year one. Might

81
00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:12.279
<v Speaker 2>as well experience.

82
00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:14.800
<v Speaker 1>The whole thing. It's gonna be hot as all hell.

83
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:17.560
<v Speaker 2>We got the we got the memo from Chin it's

84
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:23.040
<v Speaker 2>gonna be super hot, So plan accordingly. And uh that's

85
00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:27.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you know, that's the deal. That's the other

86
00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:30.800
<v Speaker 2>thing I didn't like is the thunderstorms in the PM.

87
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:32.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what that means, you know what I mean,

88
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:37.160
<v Speaker 2>summer thunderstorms. You just don't You don't know, you know

89
00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:38.639
<v Speaker 2>what I mean, what are you gonna be dealing with?

90
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:42.160
<v Speaker 2>Are you gonna be sleeping in a tent that's blowing

91
00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:44.279
<v Speaker 2>sideways with rain.

92
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:46.040
<v Speaker 1>Coming in the whole night, or what you know I'm

93
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:48.959
<v Speaker 1>not that. I do know I will not be.

94
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:54.959
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, man packed up and got all the goods

95
00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:57.319
<v Speaker 2>a few missing pieces. That we're heading out on the road.

96
00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:01.279
<v Speaker 2>I'll be podcasting from the road, of course, like normal.

97
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:06.399
<v Speaker 2>I don't think one of the cool things about August.

98
00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:07.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't think we're gonna have a whole lot of

99
00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:10.839
<v Speaker 2>coffee sales after a certain point because of the heat.

100
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:12.959
<v Speaker 2>So I'm gonna try to get around and do a

101
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:15.439
<v Speaker 2>lot more video and stuff like he's always say I'm

102
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:18.560
<v Speaker 2>always going to do. We're playing Dave Jones trivia game.

103
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:24.920
<v Speaker 2>It's called it's called Trivia Draw. If I'm trip no

104
00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:29.560
<v Speaker 2>History Draw, I'm sorry. Dave Jones history game called History Draw.

105
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:33.399
<v Speaker 2>We're testing that game out, that board game that he's

106
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:36.959
<v Speaker 2>created out. You know, mister Jones, the history teacher, has

107
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:41.399
<v Speaker 2>created a board game. It's probably gonna be phenomenal. I

108
00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:45.600
<v Speaker 2>can't wait for that. We're gonna be playing with the Hathaways,

109
00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:47.560
<v Speaker 2>so I know that's gonna be a fun team effort.

110
00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:50.120
<v Speaker 2>They're very competitive. We always have a great time when

111
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:55.079
<v Speaker 2>we do that kind of stuff. I can't wait. Family reunion,

112
00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:59.680
<v Speaker 2>good food, good sleep, good good people, good company, super

113
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:03.000
<v Speaker 2>high if you're coming to the event and you get

114
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:06.360
<v Speaker 2>really hot, come over to my booth, come over to

115
00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:10.199
<v Speaker 2>the Prepper Broadcasting Network, you know, portion of the stretch,

116
00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:13.959
<v Speaker 2>because we're always all bunched up together. But one thing

117
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:20.000
<v Speaker 2>that I'm gonna bring is a cooling station. Doesn't sound

118
00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:22.040
<v Speaker 2>to me like there's gonna be cooling stations, I'm not

119
00:07:22.199 --> 00:07:27.639
<v Speaker 2>sure about that, but I'm gonna bring a I'm gonna

120
00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:30.319
<v Speaker 2>have a cooler full ice. I'm gonna bring, you know,

121
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:35.560
<v Speaker 2>one of those vaporizer vans, and we're gonna plug that

122
00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:40.480
<v Speaker 2>and a box fan up to create a little bit

123
00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:44.120
<v Speaker 2>of a cooling station for those who are, you know,

124
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:48.240
<v Speaker 2>desperately trying to survive. And by the midday when it

125
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:51.759
<v Speaker 2>hits ninety, you know, because it's it's gonna be a scorcher.

126
00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:55.680
<v Speaker 2>There's no getting around. It's August. It's August in North Carolina.

127
00:07:57.360 --> 00:08:00.480
<v Speaker 2>But that's okay, we'll come, you know, we're preppers, come prepared.

128
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:04.879
<v Speaker 2>I talked to Jordan fully, she's fully prepared to work

129
00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:07.959
<v Speaker 2>her backstroke in the creek behind us, just to make

130
00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:11.959
<v Speaker 2>sure that she stays cool. And yeah, I think that'll

131
00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:18.560
<v Speaker 2>be likely to be a common thread. There is always

132
00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:21.319
<v Speaker 2>a little something you learn from prepper Camp on top

133
00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:26.920
<v Speaker 2>of prepper camp itself. Right, that's the one thing about

134
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:29.319
<v Speaker 2>the event that makes it stand out from like I'm

135
00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:32.320
<v Speaker 2>at a hotel and I'm going into a convention center

136
00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:36.000
<v Speaker 2>and then going to this thing. Right, the thing about

137
00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:39.440
<v Speaker 2>prepper camp is you come for the classes, and you

138
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:42.480
<v Speaker 2>come for the people selling their wares, and you come

139
00:08:42.519 --> 00:08:46.399
<v Speaker 2>for the community and the camaraderie. And then you also

140
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:50.559
<v Speaker 2>get some curveballs, you know, some wonderful curveballs from mother Nature,

141
00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:53.360
<v Speaker 2>or some things you've forgot to pack, or some things

142
00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:57.720
<v Speaker 2>you thought you needed, And before you know it, man,

143
00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:03.399
<v Speaker 2>you're testing. You're writing lists about things that you need

144
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:06.720
<v Speaker 2>to add to your system, steps you need to take

145
00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:09.919
<v Speaker 2>to fortify your tent or fortify your sleeping bag or

146
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:11.240
<v Speaker 2>improve or whatever it is.

147
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:13.480
<v Speaker 1>There won't be many sleeping bags.

148
00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:18.159
<v Speaker 2>Needed, but yeah, it's just a lot of people are

149
00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:21.240
<v Speaker 2>gonna a lot of people this year are gonna come

150
00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:27.360
<v Speaker 2>away with you know, how we need to prepare for

151
00:09:27.399 --> 00:09:31.919
<v Speaker 2>bugging out in the summer better. That's that's that kind

152
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:34.240
<v Speaker 2>of thing, right, How do we survive in a tent

153
00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:38.320
<v Speaker 2>in the middle of summer and stay cool? And one

154
00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:43.000
<v Speaker 2>of the ways that's gonna happen. Well, you know, it

155
00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:46.840
<v Speaker 2>all depends on which route you take. Jordan has come

156
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:51.639
<v Speaker 2>fully prepared to weather the sort of heat that we

157
00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:55.720
<v Speaker 2>could be dealing with, you know, and I think that's

158
00:09:55.720 --> 00:10:00.879
<v Speaker 2>a good thing. I've heard words and whispers of battery

159
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:12.080
<v Speaker 2>powered fans, intense possibly misting fans. Right, one thing's for sure.

160
00:10:12.159 --> 00:10:14.919
<v Speaker 2>The classes are gonna be phenomenal. The event's gonna be phenomenal.

161
00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:17.840
<v Speaker 2>I can't wait. I can't wait. I'm gonna be selling

162
00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:22.480
<v Speaker 2>some awesome stuff, some really cool preps, selling coffee. My

163
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:27.559
<v Speaker 2>talk is all polished up. I mean polished, like we've

164
00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:30.320
<v Speaker 2>added things. If you took my class two years ago

165
00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:33.360
<v Speaker 2>or three years ago, whenever that was. This is gonna

166
00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:35.080
<v Speaker 2>be a very different one. But it's gonna be a

167
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:37.519
<v Speaker 2>good one. And I could tell you right now, we're

168
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:41.159
<v Speaker 2>gonna spend I get forty five minutes, We're gonna spend

169
00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:48.240
<v Speaker 2>at least ten, if not more, on artificial intelligence. Because

170
00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:51.559
<v Speaker 2>if I have people in front of me who are

171
00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:54.600
<v Speaker 2>literally considering starting a home based business, right like this

172
00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:56.159
<v Speaker 2>is their thing, Like I want to start a home

173
00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:56.759
<v Speaker 2>based business.

174
00:10:56.799 --> 00:10:59.039
<v Speaker 1>Okay, okay, if.

175
00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:01.919
<v Speaker 2>You want to start at home based business, PBM family,

176
00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:06.960
<v Speaker 2>Here's a question that you have to answer to AI

177
00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:12.919
<v Speaker 2>or not to AI. That is the question, to AI

178
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:17.080
<v Speaker 2>or not to AI? Is it nobler to query chat

179
00:11:17.159 --> 00:11:22.120
<v Speaker 2>GPT or to do it all by hand?

180
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:28.440
<v Speaker 1>Right? For who would bear the whips and scorns of time? Ah?

181
00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:32.840
<v Speaker 2>But we will, we will have a discussion on AI

182
00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:33.600
<v Speaker 2>in my class.

183
00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:36.879
<v Speaker 1>Uh and the and both sides, you know what I mean.

184
00:11:36.919 --> 00:11:39.960
<v Speaker 2>Who's in for it, who's out of it all together

185
00:11:40.039 --> 00:11:42.080
<v Speaker 2>and want nothing to do with it, Who's never even

186
00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:46.279
<v Speaker 2>thought about it? Who's planning to use it? And then

187
00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:53.399
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna talk about answering that big question now before

188
00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:56.159
<v Speaker 2>you come down the line. And then, you know, I

189
00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:58.600
<v Speaker 2>feel like you find yourself in a bad situation. You

190
00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:03.320
<v Speaker 2>find yourself in an ugly situation if you don't answer

191
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:06.080
<v Speaker 2>that question at the inception of your business. This is

192
00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:08.399
<v Speaker 2>a new thing. This is new business.

193
00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:09.000
<v Speaker 1>You know what I mean.

194
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:11.120
<v Speaker 2>This has never been a thing. You never were like,

195
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:13.039
<v Speaker 2>h Am I gonna use AI or not?

196
00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:14.440
<v Speaker 1>Right?

197
00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:16.519
<v Speaker 2>And I'm not talking about logo AI, you know what

198
00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:18.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean. I'm not talking about I.

199
00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:19.320
<v Speaker 1>Mean that too.

200
00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:22.559
<v Speaker 2>But you have to figure out if you're a new

201
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:25.120
<v Speaker 2>business owner, you're gonna start a new business. You really

202
00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:29.279
<v Speaker 2>have to have this discussion with yourself, just so everybody knows.

203
00:12:29.320 --> 00:12:33.039
<v Speaker 2>I don't care, it's your life, you know what I mean,

204
00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:37.559
<v Speaker 2>do what you want. I don't exclusively not use AI,

205
00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:38.679
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean.

206
00:12:38.679 --> 00:12:39.720
<v Speaker 1>It's like it's not a thing.

207
00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:41.480
<v Speaker 2>And I'm gonna talk about what I do use AI

208
00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:46.759
<v Speaker 2>for in the class, and I'm also gonna talk about

209
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:49.200
<v Speaker 2>the things I do not use AI for in the class.

210
00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:55.639
<v Speaker 2>And because one of the things that can happen if

211
00:12:55.639 --> 00:12:58.639
<v Speaker 2>you're rushing, right is you lose a bit of the

212
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:01.360
<v Speaker 2>joy of like branding and creating your own brand. If

213
00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:02.360
<v Speaker 2>you're into those kinds of thing.

214
00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Whatever you're into creating, you.

215
00:13:04.120 --> 00:13:06.679
<v Speaker 2>Don't want to sub out with AI, right, Like, if

216
00:13:06.679 --> 00:13:10.679
<v Speaker 2>you really love writing about your line of business, the

217
00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:12.480
<v Speaker 2>last thing you want to do is be like, you

218
00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:16.000
<v Speaker 2>know what, I'm gonna let AI tell our story, you

219
00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:19.399
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean. I'm a creative guy, so like

220
00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:23.240
<v Speaker 2>all the creative aspects of what I do, I.

221
00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:24.600
<v Speaker 1>Don't want to hand over to AI.

222
00:13:25.080 --> 00:13:26.919
<v Speaker 2>There was a time I did a lot of prompting

223
00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:29.120
<v Speaker 2>of AI for thumbnails and stuff like that because they

224
00:13:29.159 --> 00:13:30.840
<v Speaker 2>were really funny and fun.

225
00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:35.000
<v Speaker 1>But I don't know they didn't. They didn't. Really, they

226
00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:36.919
<v Speaker 1>didn't yield the way I thought they would.

227
00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:40.440
<v Speaker 2>I we used to do lizard people all the time.

228
00:13:40.639 --> 00:13:42.720
<v Speaker 1>I used to have fun with it. I really did.

229
00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:49.519
<v Speaker 2>But the thumbnail game, the battle of the thumbnail, like

230
00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:52.759
<v Speaker 2>is a prison. I don't know if you know what

231
00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:55.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean. You probably don't know what I mean. But like,

232
00:13:55.279 --> 00:14:01.080
<v Speaker 2>there is a model thumbnail that YouTube almost require. And

233
00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:04.240
<v Speaker 2>the reason I think they require it is for the algorithm.

234
00:14:04.279 --> 00:14:07.320
<v Speaker 2>And the reason I believe that is because even people

235
00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:11.559
<v Speaker 2>like Glenn Beck do this thumbnail and the thumbnail to

236
00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:14.399
<v Speaker 2>the video. If you've seen a video, you know the thumbnail, right,

237
00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:19.480
<v Speaker 2>almost everyone does it. You take a big goofy surprise face.

238
00:14:19.559 --> 00:14:23.039
<v Speaker 2>Whoever's making the video, right, whoever the content creator is,

239
00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:25.919
<v Speaker 2>has a big goofy face off to the left side.

240
00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:29.200
<v Speaker 2>And then on the right side of goofy face, you

241
00:14:29.399 --> 00:14:33.720
<v Speaker 2>have a title and then a thought provoking image. Thought

242
00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:38.799
<v Speaker 2>provoking title, thought provoking image. And if you peruse YouTube like,

243
00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:45.919
<v Speaker 2>you'll see this used everywhere. And I think to myself,

244
00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:50.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, like, if I go through the process of

245
00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:55.000
<v Speaker 2>creating a piece of content that I really love, the

246
00:14:55.120 --> 00:14:57.519
<v Speaker 2>last thing I want to do to appease an algorithm

247
00:14:57.720 --> 00:15:01.159
<v Speaker 2>is create some kind of run of the mill thumbnail

248
00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:02.120
<v Speaker 2>that everybody uses.

249
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:05.039
<v Speaker 1>You know what I mean, I don't know.

250
00:15:06.679 --> 00:15:08.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm the type of guy I can die in the

251
00:15:08.600 --> 00:15:10.480
<v Speaker 2>creation of something like a thumbnail.

252
00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:12.159
<v Speaker 1>You know what I mean. I could literally die.

253
00:15:12.279 --> 00:15:16.279
<v Speaker 2>I could just look up from from the whatever the

254
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:18.639
<v Speaker 2>work of the thumbnail, and find that three and a

255
00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:22.120
<v Speaker 2>half hours have gone by, and I'm tweaking and turning

256
00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:24.600
<v Speaker 2>and let me add a splash here, and a let

257
00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:27.200
<v Speaker 2>me add a background light here, and let me add

258
00:15:27.320 --> 00:15:30.000
<v Speaker 2>a blur here, and let me add this, and let

259
00:15:30.039 --> 00:15:32.679
<v Speaker 2>me use this font for the main title, in this

260
00:15:32.759 --> 00:15:34.840
<v Speaker 2>font for the subheading. And I love that stuff.

261
00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:37.519
<v Speaker 1>I love if. To me, there's almost.

262
00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:40.720
<v Speaker 2>Nothing better than like pulling back from a creative pursuit

263
00:15:40.799 --> 00:15:44.679
<v Speaker 2>like that and going, oh man. When I created the

264
00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:48.159
<v Speaker 2>cover for Poems for Men, it really it really blew

265
00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:48.639
<v Speaker 2>me away.

266
00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:51.559
<v Speaker 1>Man. I was just like, dude, you did it, like.

267
00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:54.360
<v Speaker 2>You took this thing and you put the perfect cover

268
00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:55.480
<v Speaker 2>on it. It's perfect.

269
00:15:56.320 --> 00:15:56.879
<v Speaker 1>I love it.

270
00:15:57.759 --> 00:16:00.799
<v Speaker 2>So we're gonna have to have that discussion, and we're

271
00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:03.519
<v Speaker 2>gonna talk about that a lot during the home based

272
00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:06.600
<v Speaker 2>Business class. We're gonna talk about five businesses you can

273
00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:12.480
<v Speaker 2>start in a weekend. We're gonna talk about networking, and

274
00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:14.480
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna we're gonna talk about a lot of stuff. Man,

275
00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:16.480
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna be you're gonna come away with that. If

276
00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:20.279
<v Speaker 2>you take my class it's one thirty PM, you're gonna

277
00:16:20.279 --> 00:16:28.000
<v Speaker 2>come away with some some serious understanding. So I'll be

278
00:16:28.080 --> 00:16:30.879
<v Speaker 2>on the road, Maniana, I'm gonna try not to turn

279
00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:34.639
<v Speaker 2>this whole operation into just an ugly prepper Camp loop,

280
00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:37.000
<v Speaker 2>because I know everybody else is gonna be talking prepper

281
00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:39.200
<v Speaker 2>camp on their shows too and on their check ins.

282
00:16:39.960 --> 00:16:44.639
<v Speaker 2>But I'll be flying solo as usual, and uh yeah,

283
00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:45.799
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna be an awesome time.

284
00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Man.

285
00:16:46.759 --> 00:16:48.320
<v Speaker 2>Those of you who can make it, I can't wait

286
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:50.279
<v Speaker 2>to see you. Those of you who can't, you'll have

287
00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:54.639
<v Speaker 2>plenty stories and all that kind of stuff. Take advantage.

288
00:16:54.679 --> 00:16:56.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna give you a tip real quick. It's been

289
00:16:56.279 --> 00:16:59.679
<v Speaker 2>working really good for me. Take advantage of.

290
00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:00.279
<v Speaker 1>All this rain.

291
00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:04.599
<v Speaker 2>You know, I'm finding that there are things you can

292
00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:10.880
<v Speaker 2>do with grass, with a garden, with shrubbery, all the

293
00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:14.200
<v Speaker 2>whole nine yards that really make a difference if you

294
00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:17.160
<v Speaker 2>get the timing right. And what I mean by that is,

295
00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:20.799
<v Speaker 2>and I was in a unique position. I told you

296
00:17:20.839 --> 00:17:23.240
<v Speaker 2>my garden was kind of being blocked out by a

297
00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:26.559
<v Speaker 2>giant tree, and we had that tree removed, and since then,

298
00:17:26.599 --> 00:17:31.119
<v Speaker 2>we're building back the garden. And what's happening is we're

299
00:17:31.119 --> 00:17:34.480
<v Speaker 2>getting hit with rain, like almost every night, you know

300
00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:36.680
<v Speaker 2>what I mean, Like almost every night of the week,

301
00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:39.880
<v Speaker 2>we're getting hit with a downpour. So I've seated all

302
00:17:39.960 --> 00:17:42.519
<v Speaker 2>kinds of pots and all kinds of plants in the ground,

303
00:17:43.079 --> 00:17:48.920
<v Speaker 2>and the garden is exploding. I mean, I have I

304
00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:52.880
<v Speaker 2>have growth on plants in my garden. This is I mean,

305
00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:54.799
<v Speaker 2>this has really got me thinking, you know what I mean.

306
00:17:54.839 --> 00:17:58.799
<v Speaker 2>I have growth on plants in my garden that typically

307
00:17:58.839 --> 00:18:03.319
<v Speaker 2>take me around a month to get a month to

308
00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:05.920
<v Speaker 2>see this kind of growth, and that's like after sprouting.

309
00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:11.119
<v Speaker 2>I'm seeing crazy amounts of growth in these plants, some

310
00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:13.960
<v Speaker 2>coming from the ground, some coming from potted soil that

311
00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:19.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, I know is really rich. But I don't

312
00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:21.119
<v Speaker 2>think it has much of anything to do with that.

313
00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:23.519
<v Speaker 2>I really think it has to do with sunlight. I

314
00:18:23.519 --> 00:18:25.000
<v Speaker 2>think it has to do with heat, and I think

315
00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:27.319
<v Speaker 2>it has to do with lots and lots of rain.

316
00:18:28.279 --> 00:18:32.440
<v Speaker 2>Because I've watched this year over year over year you

317
00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:36.559
<v Speaker 2>can soak plants with the hose, you know what I mean,

318
00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:45.440
<v Speaker 2>and it doesn't work. Or rain water, right, the rainwater

319
00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:48.720
<v Speaker 2>comes in every single year. My garden gets this boost

320
00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:51.160
<v Speaker 2>when you get like a real soaking rain in the

321
00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:56.440
<v Speaker 2>early parts of like May, right or latter April, and

322
00:18:56.519 --> 00:18:57.160
<v Speaker 2>you see.

323
00:18:56.920 --> 00:18:58.759
<v Speaker 1>Like, oh my god, the peas just sto.

324
00:18:58.839 --> 00:19:02.519
<v Speaker 2>The radish is just took off rite whatever spring it is,

325
00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:04.920
<v Speaker 2>it just took off. Man, that thing really took off

326
00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:09.680
<v Speaker 2>like crazy. And I'm telling you right now, like I

327
00:19:09.799 --> 00:19:12.359
<v Speaker 2>will be paying attention to the rain patterns in years

328
00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:15.880
<v Speaker 2>to come with gardening because I think there's something to

329
00:19:16.039 --> 00:19:19.839
<v Speaker 2>this and I think I think there's something to the

330
00:19:19.960 --> 00:19:22.559
<v Speaker 2>rainfall and the heat, and I think you might be

331
00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:24.799
<v Speaker 2>able to I don't know. I don't know what the

332
00:19:24.839 --> 00:19:27.880
<v Speaker 2>total outcome is, but I know there's a benefit and

333
00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:32.359
<v Speaker 2>I am I'm definitely gonna test it. Talk to you soon,

334
00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:34.039
<v Speaker 2>PBN family, Thanks for everything.

335
00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:35.160
