It's been a couple of days. It has been a few days. 5 00:00:13.774 --> 00:00:19.218 It has purple going on today. So I like it like that. I was 6 00:00:19.218 --> 00:00:45.450 going to say we could have been at 1980 can't complain so 7 00:00:45.450 --> 00:00:49.112 All right, but first things first, let's do it. Let's just 8 00:00:49.113 --> 00:00:53.259 jump straight into it. So coindesk TV. It was interesting 9 00:00:53.259 --> 00:00:57.113 couple of days for them last weekend or last week. They 10 00:00:57.114 --> 00:01:01.758 actually got shut down by YouTube. So all you guys I don't 11 00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:07.413 know coin us TV, they are specific online company TV 12 00:01:07.413 --> 00:01:11.437 broadcaster that they specifically focused on things like 13 00:01:11.438 --> 00:01:14.620 cryptocurrency and Bitcoin but on Thursday, they are 14 00:01:14.620 --> 00:01:18.867 YouTube not them out for breaching its policy. So. I know 15 00:01:18.867 --> 00:01:21.974 we've been looking into this quite often went to the 16 00:01:21.975 --> 00:01:25.731 website until like the launch of their new 25 or streaming 17 00:01:25.732 --> 00:01:29.256 service that Tremont through online and you too. So you 18 00:01:29.257 --> 00:01:33.981 simply huge part in there how they work how they function 19 00:01:33.982 --> 00:01:36.896 so after reading a couple of things. It was pretty much a 20 00:01:36.896 --> 00:01:41.865 lot of there like they pretty much appreciate to policy and 21 00:01:41.866 --> 00:01:44.895 they didn't follow quote on quote like the rules that 22 00:01:44.896 --> 00:01:45.360 YouTube 23 00:01:45.361 --> 00:01:45.810 Set out. 24 00:01:45.810 --> 00:01:48.243 Set out for them. So it's definitely quite interesting for 25 00:01:48.243 --> 00:01:52.600 sure to see how you two ended up. Just pretty much taking 26 00:01:52.601 --> 00:01:56.436 wiping them out completely and then like now they're back 27 00:01:56.436 --> 00:01:59.787 and YouTube did give him the thumbs-up to continue but all 28 00:01:59.788 --> 00:02:03.932 the videos that they posted online were taken down and that 29 00:02:03.933 --> 00:02:07.503 is a huge part of their streaming service that they are but 30 00:02:07.503 --> 00:02:13.677 it says I'm not shocked that that happened. It's something 31 00:02:13.678 --> 00:02:23.741 that we've thought about in internally and ebay.com videos 32 00:02:23.742 --> 00:02:28.506 on YouTube and when we first came up with the idea for the 33 00:02:28.507 --> 00:02:30.606 live stream of doing right now in the videos, we've been 34 00:02:30.607 --> 00:02:31.416 creating 35 00:02:31.695 --> 00:02:32.695 peep 36 00:02:32.695 --> 00:02:35.551 People told me that you're making a mistake by not putting 37 00:02:35.552 --> 00:02:38.942 them on YouTube or not having YouTube channel. We might 38 00:02:38.943 --> 00:02:41.504 have a few videos up on YouTube, but it's not like a 39 00:02:41.505 --> 00:02:43.329 full-fledged Channel. That's something we've never really 40 00:02:43.329 --> 00:02:48.017 paid much attention to and that's truly intentional. I 41 00:02:48.018 --> 00:02:50.164 think over time we're going to see that these platforms 42 00:02:50.164 --> 00:02:56.458 they're going to exert control over the content and you 43 00:02:56.459 --> 00:02:59.413 mentioned that they got in trouble for breaching the 44 00:02:59.414 --> 00:03:02.783 policy. It's my understanding that coindesk didn't really 45 00:03:02.784 --> 00:03:05.538 know exactly what the breach was and I was looking at that 46 00:03:05.539 --> 00:03:09.883 myself to something about like severe repeated breeches. 47 00:03:09.884 --> 00:03:13.553 They made it sound really extreme one coindesk reported 48 00:03:13.554 --> 00:03:16.748 that their YouTube channel have been taken down. I actually 49 00:03:16.749 --> 00:03:19.383 went myself to try to access the channel. It wasn't just 50 00:03:19.384 --> 00:03:22.506 like it said suspended your demeanor where you can watch 51 00:03:22.506 --> 00:03:27.077 the videos. The channel was just completely deleted. It was 52 00:03:27.077 --> 00:03:30.743 a red bar that said this user has been terminated. 53 00:03:30.743 --> 00:03:31.672 an 54 00:03:31.672 --> 00:03:34.180 And I don't know how many videos that have it had about 55 00:03:34.181 --> 00:03:37.862 23,000 subscribers yet all wiped out all the video content 56 00:03:37.863 --> 00:03:40.636 in had gone. Now. They've been around since 2013 eight 57 00:03:40.637 --> 00:03:46.912 years with the content wiped out and that's the risk you 58 00:03:46.912 --> 00:03:52.875 run. When you host your your your platform on someone 59 00:03:52.876 --> 00:03:56.584 else's platform also known as their platform they decide 60 00:03:56.585 --> 00:03:58.842 what they want on it and I don't really know what what 61 00:03:58.842 --> 00:04:02.224 coindesk did to get in trouble to do with what people were 62 00:04:02.224 --> 00:04:04.208 putting in the comments. That's what I that's what I saw 63 00:04:04.209 --> 00:04:08.439 alluded to that people were advertised in crypto scams in 64 00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:11.893 the comments section that apparently was on coindesk to 65 00:04:11.893 --> 00:04:17.240 moderate that on their own to protect people. 66 00:04:17.241 --> 00:04:17.940 set 67 00:04:17.940 --> 00:04:21.555 Some kind of like a lot of weird that you would be held 68 00:04:21.556 --> 00:04:25.702 responsible for what people were commenting on YouTube, 69 00:04:25.702 --> 00:04:29.153 right? But even if that's even if that's too if you're 70 00:04:29.154 --> 00:04:31.785 supposed to or not supposed to I think what it tells us in 71 00:04:31.785 --> 00:04:35.009 that you two can do whatever they want far as I know 72 00:04:35.010 --> 00:04:42.767 coindesk appealed to you pleaded please bring our Channel 73 00:04:42.768 --> 00:04:45.779 back and I'm assuming it'll the video content BAC doubt. I 74 00:04:45.780 --> 00:04:54.737 doubt they will hopefully help you out but they were at the 75 00:04:54.737 --> 00:04:57.178 mercy of YouTube and look like they were kind of pleading 76 00:04:57.179 --> 00:04:59.618 with you to idea. We would have probably have to plead if 77 00:04:59.619 --> 00:05:05.908 we were doing this on YouTube in one day to do that for 78 00:05:05.909 --> 00:05:08.848 whatever reason they want. Yeah, that's that's my 79 00:05:08.849 --> 00:05:11.308 understanding and if they feel like they're being 80 00:05:11.309 --> 00:05:15.523 threatened there's nothing to stop them from finding a 81 00:05:15.524 --> 00:05:17.398 breach of the policy. 82 00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:20.712 That they've otherwise we know we're going to let go and 83 00:05:20.713 --> 00:05:23.672 then using that against you even doing something very minor 84 00:05:23.672 --> 00:05:28.554 you been in breach the whole time. They can just say well, 85 00:05:28.554 --> 00:05:31.564 you know, you've been the whole time I was getting you in 86 00:05:31.565 --> 00:05:34.084 if anyone asks why is because of that is interesting. Now 87 00:05:34.084 --> 00:05:38.575 that coindesk recently came out coindesk TV. It's a live 88 00:05:38.576 --> 00:05:43.629 streaming service for streaming it on YouTube, but it 89 00:05:43.629 --> 00:05:47.063 wasn't being done like YouTube wasn't based software. They 90 00:05:47.064 --> 00:05:49.253 were using their kind of doing it one central location and 91 00:05:49.254 --> 00:05:55.433 then pushing it out and so it from that perspective they 92 00:05:55.434 --> 00:05:58.083 were okay cuz I might have said he was that their Channel 93 00:05:58.084 --> 00:06:01.907 got deleted Midstream know if you were watching coindesk TV 94 00:06:01.908 --> 00:06:08.345 live YouTube. You can still watch it on coindesk.com on the 95 00:06:08.346 --> 00:06:12.458 TV section and this is going to become more common. 96 00:06:12.459 --> 00:06:17.057 Overtime Instagram Facebook LinkedIn Twitter You Don't Own 97 00:06:17.058 --> 00:06:17.573 Me. 98 00:06:17.574 --> 00:06:22.373 How long is 5 weeks right side and I think there's like a 99 00:06:22.374 --> 00:06:26.393 feeling and there's a thought that we do like we have 100 00:06:26.394 --> 00:06:29.779 ownership over what we're putting but like you said, you 101 00:06:29.780 --> 00:06:33.384 know at the end of the day they do have control over what 102 00:06:33.384 --> 00:06:37.703 you put in something that the platform wrote to an email to 103 00:06:37.704 --> 00:06:40.733 coindesk. Was that the content and courage Yale Eli 104 00:06:40.734 --> 00:06:44.183 tivities and insights users to Violet YouTube guidelines is 105 00:06:44.184 --> 00:06:55.287 not allowing is that allowed on YouTube by the same time as 106 00:06:55.287 --> 00:07:06.701 other people to violate the guidelines of this ties back to 107 00:07:06.702 --> 00:07:09.924 the fact that like you don't have control of what you put 108 00:07:09.924 --> 00:07:17.544 on. I like that's just like just the reality of life. 109 00:07:17.544 --> 00:07:21.879 You do you have this idea. I think a lot of people that you 110 00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:24.984 know put stuff online on social media. They have this idea 111 00:07:24.984 --> 00:07:27.954 that they hold it but I think the day you don't like you 112 00:07:27.954 --> 00:07:33.378 don't and it wasn't surprising but to me unlike Wadi it 113 00:07:33.378 --> 00:07:36.438 just hit me when we talked earlier. Like they literally 114 00:07:36.438 --> 00:07:40.802 wiped everything out like the fact that like, you know, it 115 00:07:40.802 --> 00:07:43.673 only imagine that feeling in my heart because it's like a 116 00:07:43.674 --> 00:07:55.131 Year's worth of content has gone up their Instagram from 117 00:07:55.131 --> 00:07:58.283 filling up their Facebook account and at the end of the day 118 00:07:58.284 --> 00:08:02.844 those platforms will decide whether or not you can be there 119 00:08:02.844 --> 00:08:08.844 later on is a pensive they might find out how your 120 00:08:08.844 --> 00:08:12.234 monetizing it is contrary to their to their own business 121 00:08:12.234 --> 00:08:15.954 and so like here with you 122 00:08:15.954 --> 00:08:19.795 What we have social media channels, but our goal isn't to 123 00:08:19.796 --> 00:08:23.276 send people to Instagram. To our Instagram page. We have we 124 00:08:23.276 --> 00:08:27.656 have one or two or Facebook page or a LinkedIn page or or 125 00:08:27.656 --> 00:08:30.660 whatever. We want you guys to come to me bank.com to 126 00:08:30.660 --> 00:08:33.631 consume the content. So when we're out on social media will 127 00:08:33.631 --> 00:08:36.370 putting a little feelers out there for you to come back to 128 00:08:36.371 --> 00:08:38.966 our side candy bank.com. We want to have a direct 129 00:08:38.966 --> 00:08:42.491 relationship with you and we want to control we wanted to 130 00:08:42.491 --> 00:08:46.396 control our own content and be the masters of our own 131 00:08:46.396 --> 00:08:48.716 domain. That's why we haven't been building up a YouTube 132 00:08:48.716 --> 00:08:51.566 channel coindesk. Is it reinforced everything that I was 133 00:08:51.566 --> 00:08:56.171 already afraid of we might not get as much engagement by 134 00:08:56.171 --> 00:08:59.126 being off of YouTube, but I think in the long run, it's the 135 00:08:59.126 --> 00:09:05.316 right decision and hopefully we'll see, you know how things 136 00:09:05.316 --> 00:09:08.786 play out just I think with all social media and general at 137 00:09:08.786 --> 00:09:12.152 the end of the day just seeing how and I think I agree with 138 00:09:12.152 --> 00:09:15.986 you that it's better to have just like everyone. 139 00:09:15.986 --> 00:09:19.976 If we communicate with us to our website and not through the 140 00:09:19.976 --> 00:09:23.216 other platforms that bring it back to the website so 141 00:09:23.216 --> 00:09:27.788 totally yeah, so this is the next topic it's super exciting 142 00:09:27.789 --> 00:09:30.213 but it's something we've been waiting for and things are 143 00:09:30.213 --> 00:09:35.331 kind of untainted unfolding in changing as months go by his 144 00:09:35.332 --> 00:09:39.746 broker Fair broker fair. So Sean want you give everyone all 145 00:09:39.746 --> 00:09:44.291 of us an update regarding broker fair, and I'm kind of the 146 00:09:44.291 --> 00:09:47.996 changes that we're starting the sea with broker Fair. Sure. 147 00:09:47.996 --> 00:09:52.015 Yeah. So we will be doing a broker fair in 2021 is on 148 00:09:52.016 --> 00:09:57.910 December 6th in New York Manhattan having it there. We 149 00:09:57.911 --> 00:10:01.165 thought it was probably best to have it as far back as 150 00:10:01.166 --> 00:10:04.526 possible in the year that we could if we were to have in 151 00:10:04.526 --> 00:10:07.750 like may I think we would be in the same position where we 152 00:10:07.751 --> 00:10:10.465 might have to reschedule and we thought that could happen 153 00:10:10.466 --> 00:10:15.555 even in the early fall. We're trying to get what we know we 154 00:10:15.555 --> 00:10:15.955 want to be. 155 00:10:15.956 --> 00:10:20.291 And where most people have been vaccinated and have the 156 00:10:20.291 --> 00:10:23.545 ability to come without worry and I'm sure there will be 157 00:10:23.546 --> 00:10:28.195 some type of rules that will put in place, day of but we 158 00:10:28.196 --> 00:10:32.350 wanted to we wanted to be in a position where we could 159 00:10:32.351 --> 00:10:41.565 allow the most people to come and enjoy it cuz we were so 160 00:10:41.566 --> 00:10:44.336 these events are meant to be big or Mentor Foster 161 00:10:44.336 --> 00:10:47.845 networking. And so they having at the end of the year. We 162 00:10:47.846 --> 00:10:50.868 thought we were in the best position to have the largest 163 00:10:50.868 --> 00:10:54.145 crowd now they're there will be some sort of God video 164 00:10:54.146 --> 00:10:57.356 element to it like a live streaming element to it, but you 165 00:10:57.356 --> 00:11:00.555 won't be able to watch the sessions that way and you won't 166 00:11:00.556 --> 00:11:05.246 be able to take advantage of the networking by watch the 167 00:11:05.246 --> 00:11:10.406 live portion that way and we're optimistic about 20 21 in 168 00:11:10.406 --> 00:11:14.786 terms of events were actually one of the most conservative. 169 00:11:14.786 --> 00:11:15.352 and 170 00:11:15.352 --> 00:11:19.882 in that regard there is an event taking place in Florida the 171 00:11:19.883 --> 00:11:23.243 end of May call the southeast acquirers Association that's 172 00:11:23.243 --> 00:11:27.998 hosting an event there and the payment show and I just 173 00:11:27.998 --> 00:11:30.041 talked to you somewhere over there who said they are 174 00:11:30.041 --> 00:11:33.143 confident in having a tobacco forward if that's will 175 00:11:33.143 --> 00:11:39.188 probably do you actually be down there earlier 176 00:11:39.188 --> 00:11:43.163 conversations right now for a d-bag to be at the show and 177 00:11:43.163 --> 00:11:55.373 that's in May and they were told at this point the golf 178 00:11:55.373 --> 00:12:00.823 outing can for sure happen to some capacity restriction 179 00:12:00.823 --> 00:12:03.851 currently, but that's subject subject to change in that 180 00:12:03.852 --> 00:12:07.208 capacity could increase so they're basically giving the 181 00:12:07.208 --> 00:12:10.656 most conservative number now into potential whole tube 182 00:12:10.657 --> 00:12:13.493 holders of a golf outing of September would be 183 00:12:13.493 --> 00:12:14.903 understanding that 184 00:12:14.903 --> 00:12:18.355 People get vaccinated and all that other stuff that I could 185 00:12:18.356 --> 00:12:21.713 probably get to closer to full capacity in September. He's 186 00:12:21.713 --> 00:12:26.087 are all really good signs. Yeah, right and I think it's 187 00:12:26.088 --> 00:12:29.873 important to know how much planning goes into these events. 188 00:12:30.113 --> 00:12:35.005 I think it's easy to get the impression that an event is as 189 00:12:35.006 --> 00:12:45.063 easy as pesos to one is ever been married or let's let's 190 00:12:45.063 --> 00:12:48.528 say if you've ever had like a like a long island wedding or 191 00:12:48.529 --> 00:12:55.428 something, right? You can't put it together before you get 192 00:12:55.428 --> 00:12:58.758 married cuz you need the whole year to plan the wedding. 193 00:12:58.758 --> 00:13:01.908 It's the same thing for an event if it's a good or bad and 194 00:13:01.908 --> 00:13:04.284 if it's going to be a lot of people and takes a Year's 195 00:13:04.285 --> 00:13:09.653 worth of plant. So there have been a few people have 196 00:13:09.653 --> 00:13:15.813 commented to me in the past who kind of the kind of 197 00:13:16.104 --> 00:13:18.574 Brandon impression that 198 00:13:18.674 --> 00:13:23.998 Not so much planning goes into it. But that is a pure 199 00:13:23.998 --> 00:13:32.873 profit in Denver that we selling in the sponsorship that we 200 00:13:32.874 --> 00:13:36.204 sound like. That's your profit was like that's not how it 201 00:13:36.204 --> 00:13:46.454 works yet and I've had some people estimate looks like 10 202 00:13:46.455 --> 00:13:56.394 to $20,000 an hour, right and when you're spending that 203 00:13:56.395 --> 00:13:59.255 type of money and you're getting hundreds and hundreds of 204 00:13:59.255 --> 00:14:03.127 people up upwards of a thousand people to come it takes a 205 00:14:03.128 --> 00:14:06.545 year. And so if you're kind of disappointed that broker 206 00:14:06.545 --> 00:14:10.477 fair is not going to be in town next month because we 207 00:14:10.478 --> 00:14:13.610 couldn't do it even if we wanted to and it wouldn't have 208 00:14:13.611 --> 00:14:19.105 been smart to have planned for March or April 2021. 209 00:14:19.105 --> 00:14:22.657 You know, what was late last year. Like if it was December 210 00:14:22.657 --> 00:14:25.875 last year on Taylor's Do-it March. April would have been 211 00:14:25.875 --> 00:14:32.323 too even though it was or not entirely super comfortable 212 00:14:32.323 --> 00:14:35.915 with travel and we want to do what we want to do it in New 213 00:14:35.915 --> 00:14:44.200 York. We will be back in Miami and we will be back in 214 00:14:44.201 --> 00:14:46.786 Miami, but that's just not going to be until 2022 is so if 215 00:14:46.786 --> 00:14:49.736 you're bummed about Miami, is it going to have to wait just 216 00:14:49.736 --> 00:14:52.256 a little bit longer doesn't mean that we won't be there 217 00:14:52.256 --> 00:14:57.716 will be there. But let me ask you is Sean like in regards 218 00:14:57.716 --> 00:15:01.686 to like, you know, the other events, you know, obviously 219 00:15:01.686 --> 00:15:04.136 like you said people don't feel comfortable flying to New 220 00:15:04.136 --> 00:15:06.716 York to leave them and they want to do it like staying like 221 00:15:06.716 --> 00:15:10.016 California or Canada told you say to those people that are 222 00:15:10.016 --> 00:15:13.466 also waiting to see when the event will be, you know in 223 00:15:13.466 --> 00:15:17.216 their area weather at San Diego or Toronto Miami and we 224 00:15:17.216 --> 00:15:19.586 just talked about that. So is there any hope 225 00:15:19.616 --> 00:15:20.826 at this point 226 00:15:20.826 --> 00:15:24.666 At this point at what? What can you say? 227 00:15:24.666 --> 00:15:30.956 We will be back in all those locations almost guaranteed in 228 00:15:30.956 --> 00:15:41.132 2022 San Diego. We haven't put the venue but San Diego that 229 00:15:41.133 --> 00:15:42.564 part of Southern California really popular for the 230 00:15:42.565 --> 00:15:45.054 alternative Finance industry. So it's probably where we'll 231 00:15:45.054 --> 00:15:46.096 be again. 232 00:15:46.667 --> 00:15:50.667 Well, obviously be back in Miami. I think they have a big 233 00:15:50.667 --> 00:15:55.995 bass Miami will of Miami and we will be back in Toronto 234 00:15:55.996 --> 00:16:03.237 Canada eat if we're not hosting an event ourselves in 2021 235 00:16:03.237 --> 00:16:06.365 and all those locations. There's a good chance. We're going 236 00:16:06.366 --> 00:16:10.310 to be going around to this location and making an 237 00:16:10.310 --> 00:16:12.477 appearance if it's possible. We could be visiting some 238 00:16:12.477 --> 00:16:15.290 other people shows. We might put together something they 239 00:16:15.291 --> 00:16:19.537 like a small happy hour or something up in in Miami or in 240 00:16:19.537 --> 00:16:23.397 San Diego or LA or Toronto was something sitting around 241 00:16:23.397 --> 00:16:26.457 being like we're not going to do anything. We might do 242 00:16:26.457 --> 00:16:29.207 something but it is not going to be on the scale of like 243 00:16:29.208 --> 00:16:32.150 five hundred to a thousand people. Did you can't do those 244 00:16:32.150 --> 00:16:39.071 spur-of-the-moment? They literally take a year and 245 00:16:39.071 --> 00:16:39.207 obviously 246 00:16:39.208 --> 00:16:40.128 the 247 00:16:40.128 --> 00:16:42.798 The reality is it's like they're still restrictions. 248 00:16:42.928 --> 00:16:46.898 In place all over the country in do I like I said things 249 00:16:46.898 --> 00:16:50.048 are changing by the month at this point. Like, you know, we 250 00:16:50.048 --> 00:16:53.978 don't know we're hoping things and the vaccine kind of 251 00:16:53.978 --> 00:16:57.908 hopes. He's everyone and kind of get things back into a 252 00:16:57.908 --> 00:17:00.668 somewhat normal Pace, whatever normal looks like but the 253 00:17:00.668 --> 00:17:03.878 reality is, you know at this point things are changing by 254 00:17:03.878 --> 00:17:07.978 the month. So yeah, it's it's a month-by-month thing and 255 00:17:07.979 --> 00:17:10.768 you know I said we were being conservative before buying 256 00:17:10.769 --> 00:17:17.965 doing in December rather than like the fall others that are 257 00:17:17.965 --> 00:17:23.808 more conservative virtual Route 20 21. I don't want to do 258 00:17:23.808 --> 00:17:28.818 that. We did do a virtual show last June and I think it was 259 00:17:28.819 --> 00:17:31.959 successful but people spent a lot of time talking about how 260 00:17:31.959 --> 00:17:35.691 they wish they were in person and I think to an extent they 261 00:17:35.691 --> 00:17:43.449 run their course and I agree. 262 00:17:43.449 --> 00:17:47.354 Nitro type of event nowadays cuz obviously the world we live 263 00:17:47.355 --> 00:17:51.465 in and currently so I think people are hearing for that 264 00:17:51.465 --> 00:17:55.065 type of environment where you can see someone or even if 265 00:17:55.065 --> 00:17:57.645 it's at a distance, but you're there you're in person. It's 266 00:17:57.645 --> 00:18:00.645 not the same when you're in person vs. When you're at your 267 00:18:00.645 --> 00:18:02.685 house and you have the kids screaming in the background. 268 00:18:02.685 --> 00:18:06.862 Coming in and you know, and I think mentally there's 269 00:18:06.863 --> 00:18:10.170 something about putting on like you're like appearance like 270 00:18:10.171 --> 00:18:13.379 me no pants and shoes and look for these events and it just 271 00:18:13.379 --> 00:18:15.975 changes your whole mood and it's very it's a whole 272 00:18:15.976 --> 00:18:21.276 different Dynamic a lot of networking and marketing and 273 00:18:21.276 --> 00:18:27.496 sales in about building trust and humans tend to they like 274 00:18:27.496 --> 00:18:31.586 to judge people in person feel like they get the most 275 00:18:31.586 --> 00:18:35.011 information possible and on Zoom like you said, he did have 276 00:18:35.011 --> 00:18:38.558 a child screaming in the background and you can you could 277 00:18:38.558 --> 00:18:42.210 present a facade, but you can't really do that when you're 278 00:18:42.211 --> 00:18:43.426 in person. 279 00:18:43.426 --> 00:18:44.986 yeah, but 280 00:18:45.116 --> 00:18:49.176 and to learn more about have having one drink with someone 281 00:18:49.176 --> 00:18:54.186 then you can over a zoom call people when they go to these 282 00:18:54.186 --> 00:18:58.026 events. They wanted they go back and they decide who could 283 00:18:58.026 --> 00:19:04.411 they who can they trust business card for who seem like a 284 00:19:04.411 --> 00:19:07.778 good person somebody that they felt would represent their 285 00:19:07.779 --> 00:19:11.331 brand. Well, if they were to do something they seen them in 286 00:19:11.331 --> 00:19:17.856 person and you can just pick up on the vibe. You can pick 287 00:19:17.856 --> 00:19:20.646 up on their energy and pick up on you know, their body 288 00:19:20.646 --> 00:19:24.186 language to see how they how they're doing how they're 289 00:19:24.186 --> 00:19:28.731 acting like there's prison vs. Being on Zoom where you 290 00:19:28.731 --> 00:19:35.676 can't really do any of that that might make you think about 291 00:19:35.676 --> 00:19:37.806 whether or not you want them representing your brain if you 292 00:19:37.806 --> 00:19:41.167 do a partnership or what if they are the life of the party 293 00:19:41.168 --> 00:19:44.220 is not in a bad way, but in a good way and everybody loves 294 00:19:44.220 --> 00:19:45.546 everybody wants to be their friend and it seem to know a 295 00:19:45.547 --> 00:19:49.387 Do you like that's the type of person I want to be working 296 00:19:49.387 --> 00:19:54.764 with it's hard to get that over with him. And so I think 297 00:19:54.764 --> 00:19:59.838 the networking aspect is going to continue to be in person. 298 00:19:59.839 --> 00:20:01.996 We're putting a lot of a lot of our resources and 299 00:20:01.996 --> 00:20:07.627 continuing to develop about our in-person events, but it 300 00:20:07.627 --> 00:20:13.207 will not saying that the video aspect is gone. I think some 301 00:20:13.207 --> 00:20:16.387 of it is going to be a little bit permanent. And so we are 302 00:20:16.387 --> 00:20:20.534 going to do a livestream component to our beds and make 303 00:20:20.534 --> 00:20:23.916 them this would have liked hybrid ask but we don't think 304 00:20:23.917 --> 00:20:27.367 that the video component is going to overtake the in-person 305 00:20:27.367 --> 00:20:31.631 experience. That's the most important part and people are 306 00:20:31.632 --> 00:20:33.352 going to tune into that actually want to see other people 307 00:20:33.352 --> 00:20:41.827 in person wishing they were there and said, that's really 308 00:20:41.827 --> 00:20:45.517 how we're going to be planning out our shows. 309 00:20:45.517 --> 00:20:48.794 Too aggressive it and try to do four things this year cuz 310 00:20:48.795 --> 00:20:59.385 it's not going to work makes sense. So exciting details. So 311 00:20:59.385 --> 00:21:03.030 the last thing Sean is there was something you posted 312 00:21:03.030 --> 00:21:06.495 online on LinkedIn and it a gravid send everyone people's 313 00:21:06.495 --> 00:21:10.575 attention. So got to go out and talk to us regarding what 314 00:21:10.575 --> 00:21:14.565 that article was and what a people have assumed regarding 315 00:21:14.565 --> 00:21:22.977 our website. So let's talk about that. I posted it on 316 00:21:22.977 --> 00:21:26.925 Twitter to and even on Facebook and it was basically 317 00:21:26.925 --> 00:21:32.760 reiterating to the world our viewers that dbangz content is 318 00:21:32.760 --> 00:21:37.057 genuine. We do not have the business model of advert 319 00:21:37.058 --> 00:21:41.565 Orioles where you can pay to be in a story or you can pay 320 00:21:41.566 --> 00:21:45.496 us to feature you or profile you 321 00:21:45.546 --> 00:21:46.846 we've had a lot of 322 00:21:46.846 --> 00:21:48.946 We've had a lot of people approaches to do that because it 323 00:21:48.946 --> 00:21:51.421 it turns out it's a pretty common business model for other 324 00:21:51.421 --> 00:21:54.443 media Outlets or you could say, you know what let me pay 325 00:21:54.443 --> 00:21:58.605 you this amount of money do a feature on me and the media 326 00:21:58.606 --> 00:22:02.566 Outlet, you know that they're able to kind of wipe your 327 00:22:02.566 --> 00:22:06.406 hands clean by putting the word paid advertisement the time 328 00:22:06.406 --> 00:22:11.000 even though it's styled like a story and there I guess 329 00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:20.666 banking on people not knowing the difference and and the 330 00:22:20.667 --> 00:22:24.430 reason I posted it do I like Danny was we've had a few 331 00:22:24.430 --> 00:22:29.230 people and on Facebook whatever social media speculated 332 00:22:29.230 --> 00:22:32.284 that some of the stories we've created. They wanted their 333 00:22:32.284 --> 00:22:34.366 they were trying to figure out how much do the people pay 334 00:22:34.366 --> 00:22:45.466 to get into that. They were convinced that we would 335 00:22:45.466 --> 00:22:45.766 send 336 00:22:45.766 --> 00:22:48.581 Send it was important enough. I don't I don't know what and 337 00:22:48.581 --> 00:22:54.946 I were to come here. But they really thought that it's 338 00:22:54.947 --> 00:22:57.702 somebody's willing to pay we would have post on the site. 339 00:22:57.702 --> 00:23:01.882 We just won't do that. And and you know what? I don't think 340 00:23:01.882 --> 00:23:04.247 I don't think we'll ever do that. I think the secret to Our 341 00:23:04.247 --> 00:23:09.343 Success has been quitting genuine content and sometimes it 342 00:23:09.343 --> 00:23:12.706 will get the comment that you really should do a story 343 00:23:12.707 --> 00:23:22.547 about this person or this company or someone you like. 344 00:23:22.547 --> 00:23:26.803 Was it a water they do why that right. It's probably because 345 00:23:26.803 --> 00:23:29.833 there's something unique about their life or what they did 346 00:23:29.834 --> 00:23:34.232 in business or a story. We're trying to tell at the time 347 00:23:34.232 --> 00:23:47.492 and I think when people are looking at why there's 348 00:23:47.492 --> 00:23:52.970 Elizabeth we go out there and and try to tell by the way, 349 00:23:52.970 --> 00:23:57.191 sometimes when people ask how come I'm not in the story you 350 00:23:57.191 --> 00:24:00.674 could be all you have to do is reach out to us that it's an 351 00:24:00.674 --> 00:24:02.984 easy. That doesn't mean we're going to write about you and 352 00:24:02.984 --> 00:24:05.621 Pat would you decide not to write about a lot of different 353 00:24:05.621 --> 00:24:08.023 things right? And just because you have a company just 354 00:24:08.024 --> 00:24:10.505 because you're starting up doesn't mean we're going to 355 00:24:10.505 --> 00:24:12.053 write about it. But if you have something truly unique and 356 00:24:12.054 --> 00:24:15.809 different I don't just mean like a lower-cost product or 357 00:24:15.809 --> 00:24:19.826 you're building a technology that something truly different 358 00:24:19.827 --> 00:24:22.994 we may be interested in it or if you have 359 00:24:22.994 --> 00:24:26.954 That's interesting tell us maybe we want to tell it but if 360 00:24:26.954 --> 00:24:30.419 you don't talk to us, then we're never going to know we're 361 00:24:30.419 --> 00:24:33.314 not going to write about it. Cuz we also have to verify the 362 00:24:33.314 --> 00:24:37.266 things that we write about. And so if someone else 363 00:24:37.267 --> 00:24:39.604 recommends you when we talk to this person and that person 364 00:24:39.604 --> 00:24:42.021 of the person who you recommend it doesn't want to talk to 365 00:24:42.022 --> 00:24:49.162 us or not going to write him if people reach out to us, 366 00:24:49.162 --> 00:24:52.994 like today, we may hold on to that and use it sometime in 367 00:24:52.994 --> 00:24:55.949 the future like not in the stilly, you know this month or 368 00:24:55.949 --> 00:24:58.474 next month, but when we have something that you lead to 369 00:24:58.474 --> 00:25:02.534 that topic or that person we can use it, you know, I have 370 00:25:02.535 --> 00:25:06.909 it on her in her folder and use it when it's necessary. So 371 00:25:06.909 --> 00:25:09.315 it's interesting that like people always had this concept 372 00:25:09.315 --> 00:25:13.165 that like a man like today we may be highlighted tomorrow 373 00:25:13.165 --> 00:25:15.817 and we'll store will come out on us, but now it's a process 374 00:25:15.817 --> 00:25:19.514 and people have to understand that at the end of the day, 375 00:25:19.515 --> 00:25:22.965 you know, they might not be used now, but it's always 376 00:25:22.965 --> 00:25:26.933 Is it in our system and we can pull it out and say Hey, you 377 00:25:26.933 --> 00:25:29.324 know, we'd love to hear from you. We looked at profile this 378 00:25:29.325 --> 00:25:36.009 person and Yeah Yeahs radio to Tommy use it in a story. 379 00:25:36.010 --> 00:25:39.345 That's not uncommon. So if we if we talked to you today and 380 00:25:39.345 --> 00:25:41.672 does nothing about you today, it doesn't mean we're not 381 00:25:41.672 --> 00:25:44.477 going to use it. It might mean that but also could mean 382 00:25:44.478 --> 00:25:48.194 that we've got a good spot for things. You said to me in 383 00:25:48.195 --> 00:25:51.045 the story that we're working on and it could have come 384 00:25:51.045 --> 00:25:53.860 about in like, you know, two to three months is also ready 385 00:25:53.861 --> 00:26:02.835 to getting ready to put them out and we try to fact-check 386 00:26:02.835 --> 00:26:06.555 basically every breath it right. So we have stories died at 387 00:26:06.555 --> 00:26:10.202 the Finish Line where it's been raining and we go when we 388 00:26:10.203 --> 00:26:14.765 do a quick little check of certain facts and we realize we 389 00:26:14.765 --> 00:26:19.635 can't run the story something is wrong. 390 00:26:19.636 --> 00:26:25.071 Something as easily disprove in the moral character of the 391 00:26:25.071 --> 00:26:27.651 name of something something and we decided that we can't 392 00:26:27.651 --> 00:26:34.596 run the story that explains why there's no story every 393 00:26:34.596 --> 00:26:36.718 single day is because we didn't have it at 2 of content 394 00:26:36.719 --> 00:26:40.890 lined up and one gets to the back check in with you 395 00:26:40.890 --> 00:26:43.461 throughout but there's always that last bit of 396 00:26:43.461 --> 00:26:47.767 fact-checking and I can call the Story 2 to get killed. So 397 00:26:47.768 --> 00:26:52.664 it's kind of Journalism has published everything that's out 398 00:26:52.664 --> 00:26:58.590 there right now. If you guys out there remember golf here, 399 00:26:58.591 --> 00:27:00.981 but the whole thing was it published and worry about it 400 00:27:00.981 --> 00:27:03.876 later and mainly because they're their subjects were 401 00:27:03.876 --> 00:27:06.361 celebrities and so he can basically say whatever you want. 402 00:27:06.362 --> 00:27:07.522 That's what they thought anyway. 403 00:27:08.382 --> 00:27:13.162 But we have a lot of content that we work hard on that end 404 00:27:13.162 --> 00:27:15.491 up not going anywhere. That's that's a bummer. But that's 405 00:27:15.491 --> 00:27:23.556 the way it is information that we can so please reach out 406 00:27:23.557 --> 00:27:27.772 to us.

I am watching 416 00:28:15.857 --> 00:28:19.712 the show longer than 10 years the final four surprise me 417 00:28:19.712 --> 00:28:27.092 only because I do.
