 Hi! Good morning. So, pardon me, I just woke up, it's like 4.40 or something in London, and today I'm going to do a demonstration. So, for this demonstration, I've got two plungana, two containers of water here. It's a model of a resourcing model, and you just have your sink. So, there's the sink. And, sorry if I'm not speaking a lot, it's just that everyone's sleeping. So, you need a sink, and then you need... I'm going to take a couple bottles, so these are water bottles that we have salvaged, meaning that we've kept them and cleaned them up to use them for other purposes, although they were intended initially for something else. So, I've got two here. Something to note is that I haven't... I'm doing this on the fly, I'm making it up as we go, but it's like there's a thing in my head that needs to come out. It's the first time I've ever done this, I've never done this before physically, but just like Eminem said, you've only got one shot, and that's the practice. So, and then you need a funnel. Well, I have a funnel to do this demonstration. You can try this at home, it's safe. Okay, so resourcing. So you've got... You know... Okay, I'm going to take this thing that says... There's a... There's a moomoo. There's a little bit of food particle on one side of the sink. And then there's this other little bit of food particle on the other side of the sink. I think that's... I mean, it's clean, but then there are food particles that were left, just so I could do this demonstration. There's this other food particle. There are people in our model. This is a model. This is a three-dimensional model. Shout out to Chitra Mographies who introduced me to this concept. Who really introduced me to this concept that we all know. Okay, so you're going to see our little people there. There's a little people. And each of them has like an idea, a hope, a dream, a project that they want to try. And it needs resources. So, each project needs a budget for the project. And we're going to give it to Rice Peace over there named Ferry. Ferry has this project idea, but doesn't have the resources yet, right? So this is a huge shout out to the family in Birmingham, Rice, Yem, everyone at the Impact Hub who introduced me to them, and Sam. I got the word... I got the name Ferry just from what was to hand. So Ferry, this is Ferry, and Ferry needs resources for Ferry's project. And so I'm going to introduce another really handy, the Gallagher words, which is Shia. S-S-Y-A. And that is a pronoun. There is only that pronoun in the Gallagher. And that just means that encapsulates, contains, he, her, they, them. So I'm just going to... and then you say Shia, or Nya, if it's like a possessive pronoun. Handy, huh? The unifying language. So we're going to take... now this is the source bowl, okay? And the source bowl, this is E-Z-A-F, Interactive Project Resourcing. This is the source bowl, and we're going to try to get the source to... There's this resource too. It's water inside. Non-toxic, safe, you can do this at home. Unless you have OCD and you don't want things to splash around like I did, but I liberated myself from this. You know what? I'm sorry, it's undiagnosed, so I just say that kind of offhand. But I have definitely had, like, debilitating, freezing moments of not being able to do anything because I was afraid of a mess, or of germs, or... But, like, I just couldn't. But now I can, so because I got through my dark night of the soul, like last week, I'm free to do this experiment safely. Like, my OCD will let me do it now. It's not that it's left, it's just that it's... it's here. So we're going to... Hi, so what we're doing is we're resourcing a project. And this is the bottle. And this is the resource, and this is water, and so I'm just going to try to get resources to... Okay, so you want to try to... Let me just show you here and show you. Yeah. Okay. All right, so that wasn't very efficient, was it? So now we add something to make this a little bit more effective. It wasn't effective either, so look at how much water came in from the source. It didn't. We've got our little person down there ferry, so we're going to use a funnel. Somebody invents a funnel. Oh wait, no, sorry. Not yet the funnel, because we've still got somebody else here. Over here who has a project idea, so because we have another bottle, we've got a project idea. You can totally pass this on, make this actual proper, because the first time that I'm doing this demonstration, we're trying to resource people who have projects on the ground. So that's them. So this is the other person who has another project, and they need resources too. So you're going to try to fit that in from this source bowl. And then we're going to re-source it. Yeah. Okay, so that can be worked on, right? So we got some water in. We got a little bit of water in that was somewhat effective at resourcing these people and their project. But it's not very efficient, so we're trying to make it more efficient. We're going to use a funnel. So we're going to start with, I mean, I went to this person first in their project, so I'm going to go ahead and check that out. Yeah, they get more resource. So I'm going to do this too. There you go. So they get more resource. And we're just going to take this out, put this back over, let it dry. Look, the project has more budget. Yeah, awesome. Project has more budget. Okay, so this is the basic idea of resourcing and budgeting. There's a source of liquidity, because that's what in finance and accounting we call liquidity is cash. Basically some water is cash. There's a source of liquidity. There's a source of liquid. We're able to provide liquid to these projects, which are the ideas of these people, right? So our first project proponent was Ferry over here, if you recall, Ferry. And these are their projects, and then they get to just kind of like thrive and flourish. So that's an easy AF introduction to the concept of liquidity, cash, and resourcing projects, and allocating those resources to the grad. But wait, this is like level one. So we've got level two, which is this person here doesn't have any resources. They've got 10 ideas. They're not really connected to the rest of these two folks who didn't, like they didn't get the memo or they got the memo and they just don't know the people who have the resources, the liquidity. So they're sitting here with this hope, dream, and aspiration. They've got like, so there's that, and their name is Bologna. Their name is Bologna sitting over here. They've got this dream that they really want to test out and grow, but they don't have any resources. This one, look at that cash balance right there. Look at that liquidity. So in short, hi to Joanne. I'm talking about resourcing projects and people. And so these two basically have resources because they know the right people who have given them access to the source, but this poor little person on the ground, Bologna, they have a dream, but they don't have any resources. They don't have cash. So what do we do about this? We try to redistribute. We try to here. So this is empty. We need to fill it back up. So we have this. We've got to put something here. Then we've got to put, oh yeah, we have some funnel. Actually, let's say this one's got the funnel because they were able to use their initial liquidity to make a funnel. And then like, oh, oh, we're trying to fill up the other bowl, but you can't. Oh, so what do we do? We try to redistribute maybe. So we're going to take, so redistribution. Let's say this project or person wants to give some resource to that. So we could just be like, okay, I'll find you over there. But then there's someone over here and maybe they have an idea and there's someone over there and maybe they have an idea. So let's just kind of like, this one is just kind of like, oh, okay, I've got an efficient setup and I've got lots of liquidity. And actually, you know, it happened over the years because I was able to accumulate all of this resource and cash because I already knew all the people who had it. I've moved to a bigger container and I've employed all these other people and actually crush them a little bit because they, yeah. So now you've got a bigger container, take up more people and they can hold more source. So I've got another, I've got another bucket here. Oh, look at that. It just kind of rains on you because you know, more people, you have access to more source. Meanwhile, this small, medium enterprise, let's just say, okay. And then this one just kind of gets flashing. So I think you get the idea, right? So you can use this model to explain budgets and resource allocation and all that. But if you notice, the source, there's bigger source. You have to like kind of replenish the source to source. Now that was level two. Oh, level two is also, sorry, these guys are like, oh, we need to make a foundation and we need to just believe. So because you know what, these are people too with hopes and dreams. And what these folks did with this container is you just incorporated a whole bunch of people and put together some shared hopes and dreams. And then, you know what, these guys made it so that when I say guys, it's just, it's shorthand for everyone. So these humans made it so that this person can, this person can communicate with that person. Can you communicate with that person? They connected all these people in this invisible field. I'm going to call it a field and we can call it the internet, for example, or like telecommunications or phone line or whatever. And then they were like, all right, let's start a foundation and we're going to find all those other people because they've got heart, the people too. And because of the internet, because of phone lines, because of like good old fashioned travel by different ways. They were able to connect to different people around the world. So they were able to get here. Oh, sorry. Here. Oh, okay. There you are. We're going to give you some help. But these guys couldn't grow anything because they didn't have a container to catch this. I don't know why they couldn't, we can't figure out why they can't thrive. We keep giving them, we keep giving them some water. But you know what, we can't, there are some folks we can't see over here and they're not getting water. And so on and so forth. So that's level, level, like, level two, for the purposes of this model, three or whatever. But just the next level is that they actually care. And they have made it possible for us to actually, for me to be talking to you now over space and time because if you're watching this later, my adamantium bangs. If you're watching this later, we have cut across the space time continuum. So that's the foundation and it's kind of just floating here. Now I'm going to let anyone who needs to go go because this last part is mind blowing. You can stop watching here. You can take this away already and this will suffice to get conversations going around resourcing. But we're going to transcend. Okay, so how are we going to transcend? That's a good question. You've kind of fly by the seat of your pants. So I want to offer this in management accounting. There are three metrics or three sort of aspects other than profit to look at. This is classical, right? This is, I learned this at SEMA. Thank you. I'm a SEMA AICPA joint venture holder of a chartered global management accountant designation CGMA. So first of all, effectiveness. So if you're not effective at carrying out your mission. Yeah, kind of everything else coming after it doesn't really count. Sure. It's, you've kind of didn't answer the exam question. So no marks for that. The second one is efficiency. So with the resources that you had, did you achieve effectiveness and economy? So in order to bring in some resources, so like, yeah, one is a supplier for the other and it could be in CAD. They turned cash into like a thing that helps. But anyway, so the third is economy. So did you get the best value for money for the resources that you used efficiently to achieve your goal, your, your to be effective at your goals? So I'm going to give you a little snapshot of the world as we have it right now. So are people their projects and, you know, people can work together. So this is a small team right here. This is an individual who is there. And this is a co, like a lot of people, basically a lot of resources. And actually this might be a few people and a lot of things. So things are people to do things are entities. So if you have like one person or let's say a startup team of two people with like a fleet of trucks, like mom and dad, they used to have a construction company before they went into coffee. They had, this is how I know about 16 wheelers, 18 wheelers. And they helped build through their company. Buildings, homes and workplaces in like the guide die instead of where the volcano erupted earlier this crazy year. So I'm just going to go straight through and how to how to transcend is to ask questions. So let's just ask a few questions here. Why? What are we doing this all for in the first place? We've got like nobody told what is the object. What? So this is a question that every individual involved in an enterprise calling it an enterprise because it's either a business for profit or what we call non for profit or what even a household is an enterprise because that's a little team that you've got to like this. This one here is a household that's got of individuals with hopes, dreams and aspirations. So I'm just going to offer this last thing for transcendence because transcendence cannot be explained in words. And this is why I have the model and I'm going to do it in two stages. So I'm just going to refill refill this. And then I'm just going to kind of like... So here, where you go? If you let things fall from the source naturally to where they need to go each person gets their share of cash gets their share of source. And so that's natural, natural resourcing. But wait, there's more because we forget that these containers were kind of we just... Why did we invent them in the first place? Because essentially what are what are these structures? These in real life a container is a set of pieces of paper that people exchange with that fairy has exchanged with other people on the ground to create a container to determine the best allocation of resources. But it's paper. This is nothing but a... What is a container but a product of the human mind? What is time? But a construct of the human, but what is a container but a construct of the human mind? Oh, a mold. What is time? Yeah. So all right, this is a contract of the human mind. So let's just put this aside and I'm going to offer you... When we say natural resourcing, let's just take all the... That fell... Oh, and it washed away and there's a drain. We'll get into that another day. But let's just say they got stuck with your imagination. Like they're still there for the time being. I don't want to blow your mind too much today. But we could just... There's the thing that naturally, I guess, came. And then we can fill this up again. With the original allocation of scarce resources. This is scarce, you see. Filled up scarce resources. We just... Everybody gets their share of the liquidity. See, it's washed all the way around and everybody gets their share of liquidity. And then finally, this is what transcendence is. We asked another question. Well, where did this scarce resource come from? This... Oh, there's a natural resource. Oh, no, it's a natural source. Oh, it's a source. So really what we could do to get liquidity to everyone is to just let it rain. And there you go. And everybody's got what they need. And in this model, if you remember, obviously we need things like shelter, the needs cards from nonviolent communication. Sorry, my talking is kind of funny because I've got this cold sore here, I think. Food, water, air. Food, water, air. So in order to let each of these people... Well, ferry's gone. We always do because human life is limited in this model. But everybody's got liquidity. Everybody's got source, energy, cash to do what they need to do. And why is the basic question? Because it's why... Why is there a sink? Why is there a moomoo? Why are there people? Why? The answer to that question only you know. Each person has their own puzzle piece of the why of the whole world. So that's why it's super important that you ask yourself, merci-la, who am I and what am I here to do? So that is today's demonstration of... This practice is the intro home safe home demonstration of project resourcing. Project resourcing and then transcendence and the meaning of life.
