Okay, I think here we go. No, I do a little bit different today.

No video here. I’m actually at my house for once. Usually, I’m at the office doing anything like this and I enjoy it, but I also, I’m pretty good to work on a lot of the time and I’m doing my stuff during the day and I sort of try to fit in a podcast during that time. Sometimes I… You know, try usually on Fridays I telling a lot lady, but I’m still back and forth if I feel like I have work to do in the morning to my podcast around 11 AM. Get it out at one PM. I think we go back to work for the rest ofYou have to know and sometimes I feel a little bit… Well, but hope out after all of that. So here at home tonight, my girlfriend is wonderful lady and she has actually gone to a brutal mass concert and I likeWe go with a little bit. This point, “Caribe was supposed to open up the show and I and she got pregnant she had a baby and she said, she wasn’t ready for the tour. And so, that then leads to a ton of suffering for my girlfriend to a suffering for her friends and for myself too, who wanted to hear how “Caribe I was that performing. So, it’s down to, to have a great time in and all, I’ll see a baby that leaves me in a place that leaves me in I don’t have much to do, place. I did some work. They actually met up with a good body.

I’ve been working on a project, I sort of mentioned it a couple of times in the past, but one that I’m pretty excited about, and I did some work for them in the morning, today.

Some development and it’s been really cool. So, you can’t release all the details of everything I’m working on it, but we’re working with IBM and a lot of artificial intelligence.

I think that’s about all I was. Okay, is that all I really wanna say? I don’t even know if I want to talk about that I, But I… We can do a lot of stuff and take in basically a ton of data at once, and analyze it. And some really relate always, and there’s some pretty direct applications to this that I’m hoping to target directly and looking at. rolling that out in the next, the next six months I hope. So let’s see how that goes. We’re working well I’ve been working really hard on that, but I’m getting some support from some great people, like the one today, Ryan and some people in my office as well to thank you to some Miranda and many other people who have given me some great insights and advice along the way as I’m really trying to pave a new way for my life for… But then the normal business that I right now which is refuse, I’m marketing specifically non-profits. This is a big shift for me, and it’s a little bit out of my… My comfort zone, but I can already see the value here, and if I can make everything work and pull it together, it’s gonna be a really cool project, and I excited I share show that with you. And I think it has a lot of… Just a lot of parallels with what I’m doing right now and what a lot of people are doing, so hopefully that soon be pretty exciting.

We will see how that goes. So I’ll keep you up in gonna continue doing that as I do these podcasts, and hop over one time, one time in the future that someone will look at back at all my podcast or listened to boast. Very unlikely, but they were like, “Oh I thought was talking about that stuff as he was building it, and now it’s turned into a really cool thing, and that’s, I guess, someone of a dream.

I sometimes dreams come true, so it’s pretty relaxed, compared to what I normally… I’m sitting here with a beer perhaps even front late here, last night, bad beard isn’t taste that good, but I don’t drink too much, but it was sitting in the fridge, and I worked hard to day on a Saturday, and so I’m coming home to relax a little bit. I got another friend as well too, who I’m gonna talk to and now sure most people know that sound wouldn’t finish this with a couple of deep brass.

So that’s three brass.

I do a lot of what I’ve been doing a lot of listening, about this, I will Hamlet. But breathing method that a lot of people have used, they look at saying basically six express the minimum that are… I was really gonna make an impact, but six deep breasts. And you can really feel it, you can feel it change a conscious as you can feel. A state, and this guy a been seen doing some speaking lightly and he’s actually been doing that in the audience. Be getting them to be some breath work with them, and I feel like it makes the audience really were something to just create this wonderful energy in the room and it’s aIt really bonds everyone together, so that’s a really cool thing. I’m starting, I hope to start doing and basically, maybe in other podcast as I move forward, which I didn’t do. America job of explaining high-wealth maybe be doing some brass and hope you won’t do those press along with me. And it’s really interesting as I’ve continued to sort of continue on my path and try to learn more really, but my mind and of course, but my body as well to justHow important that breath work is and I… It’s just something in us, it doesn’t seem like we really talk about too much. I never had any courses growing up on breathing properly. Or, “what breath does for you, or the benefits to using it or how you can focus your mind with it or how you can gain clarity?

Lot of those things are just not really described and it’s really interesting how we don’t get a lot of things spread is for stress reduction is for, obviously for life is it’s used for focus, it’s made for so many, it’s useful for so many ways and it’s just something we do every day, but we never learn how to do it the best way and it’s really, it’s a shame for a lot of kids who are wanting to accelerate in anything school sports a big one for that stuff, but it’s just IT side that we don’t necessarily get the tools that are needed for a for these students and for young people and it’d be great to get to know that some strategies and ways to breathe that can benefit you in your day-to-day life that were never really introduced to us.

So, I am relaxing a bit and I have something I really…

Pete, my mind, I’m gonna call, make one last diverge off from there.

It was an interesting day, because I actually did a… So I actually put a song on aJust a quick verse minute and twenty seconds. It was a contest by classified the Canadian classic tour and he’s doing a tour all across Canada and he was basically put up dropped the beats with some rules around them and said that he was going on to her every city that He’s going to, he wants rappers AKE those beats and actually right a verse and then submit them on line and I… And so we say weBut monitorsThere was a couple of them, I think, I actually wanted to do a verse is in wrapped in a while. I have a couple of years that a written lately that I haven’t really done anything with, and it just seems like a good opportunity. How cool would it be if you win that competition? So it’s gonna take two people from each city pit them against each other, and the winter actually gets to perform on stage with classified right before the show, so we actually opening up opening up for Classified. That’s that’s pretty cool. I don’t really perform, to show before or anything, and if I did, I mean it’s nice to actually have people in a crowd there? For God damn say so.

A really cool thing. I don’t know if it’s a habit, but he didn’t share it online.

Made a little music page on my site to Erin dot-com as music and posted the track there with all these YouTube videos that I’ve done in the past, oldMy old EP that I released that one point in my life, and just a couple of like weird songs that are out there on the internet. And it was funny when I posted on Facebook, he posted on Twitter and I think the, I guess, where the only real to just a ton of ton of people started flooding to me, and I would say, when I say a ton, it’s not a, not like a massive amount of people, but hundreds of people.

I’m just instantly crawling on my site and looking at that stuff, so it was cool even though I’d never know what’s gonna come out of that, to make that happen. And I’ve set up some stuff which I even really talk too much about marketing stuff yet, but like I set up a tool called Hot Jar, and put it on the site, so I can actually watch how users are interacting with the site, and watch recording, so how people browse and use the site and I can also watch heat maps of what they were clicking on and everything as well too, on a ton of metrics like that. So when something like that happens, you get a ton of crazy dad out out of them, really entrusted to actually work through that and I’m seeing people who are staying on the site. Ten minutes watching the YouTube video, and that it’s really good for my rent presence online, but it’s also just good, it’s good to feel good, it’s good. You got some of the tunes May. So, that’s too Brian dotcom slash music.

As interest in checking out, I… It’s okay, it’s weird, you were when you do something like that because I… A remote company, and I know in such a big part of my life from such a professional person and I really have to maintain that, and I do and I enjoy that piece. But there’s this weird divide where I’ve always been, I consider myself a hip pop artists I guess a very unknown one. I wouldn’t call myself I guess. You’re not an artist inNo one knows you, but yes, just still are.

And so when I had something like that, it’s a pretty legitimate clients who may not approve of some of the language or messaging that I’m using in that stu
