 All right. All right. Let's make sure this thing is working before we get going. I got everything set up. We're looking good. We're looking good. But I just like to make sure it's actually working on this side. Now we're starting a little bit early. I forgot my daughter has danced tonight. Give me a second. Perfect. All right, it's working. I was just checking over here, but I can also I can see all the comments over here as well, so don't worry. My daughter has danced this afternoon, and so I forgot about that. That's my fault. So I'm gonna start a little bit early so that if I do run a little bit over, I, you know, don't have to cut too much time off of our time. I'm gonna try to end around like, I don't know, two o'clock, because I gotta leave by like 2.15. Because I gotta bring her to dance. Or if she chooses her mom over me to bring her to dance, which happens, then I will take the kids home. So I got stuff. I got family obligations. So let's get going on this. First off, thank you guys for joining. I see a lot of people coming in. I see Matthew, Aaron. Let me see. I recognize both of you guys, but I see other people in the chat as well. And Maul, Deepak, Pranav, inspire you, cool name. Really appreciate. Love from Nepal. We got people from in Nepal, the people in India. I'm just on the east coast of South Carolina, east coast of the US, so hey from the United States. Really appreciate you guys joining. This is a very special. If you guys haven't seen one of my previous milestone celebrations, like when we got to 200,000, 250,000, 500,000, now we're up to 750,000. Which is just mind blowing. I still can't fully comprehend how many people that is because I come from small city life. So it's still pretty, it's just odd, feels weird. Still pretty weird that that's where we're at, but I'm extremely appreciative. But if you haven't seen one of these live streams before, they're not like my other live streams. I do it usually like a monthly live stream or it's just Q and A. I'm just here to answer questions to be helpful and to guide and mentor new analysts. That's all it's for. But this is more of a celebration. And so what we're going to be doing is one, I'll be doing a big giveaway. So like I have lots of things to give away. Everyone will have a chance to do it. And I'm doing it in a totally different way this time. Before what you had to do is you had to go into the chat, I put some keyword. I do bananas. You type in bananas and then I would choose a random person. But we're not doing that today. It's going to be, it's going to be like the wild west over here. So it should be really, really different and really fun. And I'll explain that when we get there. I'll also be most likely singing some type of song. I do have something prepared. It's a little bit cringy. I don't know if I'm going to do it or not because it's very cringy. And someone might, someone might make it into like a meme or something and post it somewhere. And I'd be very embarrassed. And so I don't know if we'll do that or not. But it is pretty cringy. I have my guitar back here ready for it. If I'm feeling confident enough for it, like you guys got to boost my confidence during this live stream to get me to where I need to be to be able to do that. Because it's pretty bad. I'm fully aware of that. Other than that, I will do some QA. So I'll have a time where I'm just like, Hey, let's answer some questions. You know, let's just, you know, make this somewhat useful. Otherwise, it's just me talking like being doing absolute nonsense. But I see a bunch of other people joining. Thank you guys so much. I'm checking out the comments. Oh, wait, is Christine in here? My wife said, love from your house. Yeah, my wife's downstairs. I'm sure she'll join at some point. She can come stand right over here. I didn't, I didn't actually see you write anything until Matthew put it in there because he's my, he's my mod or my moderator. But yeah, thanks Christine for, for joining. Really appreciate it. It means a lot. Lots of other people joining. This is fantastic. Really, really appreciate it. So now that we have some people in here, I just want to say that 750,000 is like, it's a very, very, very large number. And I'm, I, again, I can't really comprehend how many people that is. And I just want to say, thank you guys. This is not anything I ever expected. And so I think that makes it even better because I never even thought I'd get like 500, 250 was like one of my bigger goals for getting to this channel like ever. And so the fact that I, you know, we're, we're where we are now and we're still growing. And we're still putting out new content and stuff like that. It's awesome. And I cannot thank you guys enough. I'm very honored and humbled to be here today. I just wanted to throw that in there because people always say humbled and honored. But I'm just really, really appreciative of everything you guys have done for me. And I have a lot more content coming. And so I'm going to give you a tiny snapshot. I'm not doing any cool overlays looking at myself. I'm not doing any cool overlays with like my screen or anything today because that's a lot of work. I'm just going to be chatting. But some of the things that are going to be coming are we're going to be doing an AWS and Azure series soon, which is going to be really, really cool for data analysts to learn the cloud and learn how analysts actually work in the cloud, which is really important because a lot of companies are moving to the cloud almost every big tech company in the world uses the cloud. And so it is pretty important to know how to do. And so that's kind of like the next series that is going to be coming in maybe like a month, about four weeks or so. After that, I'll be doing an AI series. So different tools that I have found to be really popular and that a lot of people are using their actual workflows that I'm using my actual workflow. So we'll do a series on that. Then I want to have a series on just like getting a job as a data analyst, because especially in this time, in this economy, in this hiring weird place that we're in, it can be tough. And so I'm going to give you kind of the tips and tricks that I think are really important. And it's going to be a series. So I'll have like three or four videos on the exact way that I would reach out to recruiters and then how to actually address for your interviews. And my wife and I back in the day, I don't, I don't know if I ever, I don't know if I ever, I didn't put out the video, but we had kind of recorded some stuff for like how to address for an interview for the women and then the men as well. And I ended up not doing that video for some reason. I think I just, there was a more important series I had to divert to, but we will make that. So that'll be a really good series. And then just like, you know, what you need to do to really make a good impression in the interview and land a job. And so that'll be a series as well. Let me go look at my real quick just while we're here. And I'm going to be doing the giveaway later, probably in like maybe 15 minutes or so, maybe 20 minutes. I don't want to keep you guys to the end for the giveaway. But let me go look at my spreadsheet real quick. I'll tell you some of the stuff that I got coming up. No, I said a lot of it. There's some other, other videos that are just kind of like one off videos. It's not series. So I'm not going I'm not going to talk about all that. So I think I nailed, I think I nailed most of it. Let me go back to where I can see myself. Perfect. So a lot of content coming up. And that's just like in the near future, that'll be like all within the next several months. And I have stuff even planned beyond that. So I have a lot of stuff that I have planned for you guys. All things that I think are very, very, very useful. I want to bring useful content to you guys. So super happy about that. Let me look at the chat real quick. You hit a million before Christmas? No. I don't think I'll hit a million before Christmas. Here's how I know. I looked at, you know, on YouTube, you get your YouTube analytics. And at peak, I was doing like 30,000 subscribers a month, which was just absolutely flabbergasting, absolutely nuts. Right now I'm sitting at like 20,000 a month. I think it's going to go, it's slowly been trending down just ever so slightly each month. So I think, I think if I keep a good trajectory, if I keep it above like 15,000 people a month, which is still in absolutely nuts, I think I could get there early to mid next year. I think by this time next year, I think I could do it. And so that's my goal. That would be my goal. I mean, that would just mean, can you guys see that? Oh yeah, you can see it in the shot. So I have my silver play button. You get that for 100,000. A million is a goal play button. That's going to be nuts. I'll have some giant giveaway for that. Like I might, you know what? I might, I'm going to put this out there. I'm thinking maybe I'll fly somebody out to South Carolina, put them up in a hotel, and I'll just do like a day or two of like just everything you need to do to land a job, any questions they have. It's like the ultimate giveaway. We'll get you in contact with recruiters. We'll get your resume on point. We'll do everything in person. I don't know. If my wife was watching this and she thinks that's a terrible idea, you know, yeah, that one might get weird because it'd have to be a guy because, you know, yeah, I couldn't do that because I'm married. It's like, yeah, that might get weird. I don't know. I'll talk to my wife about that. We'll figure something out. But that might be a really cool idea at least or the premise of it. Back when I think I hit 250,000, I was doing a mentorship program. I gave away some mentee spots and I like got on calls with them and that was, you know, really awesome. And I know they, it was really valuable. And so I kind of just want to like one up that and like make it even better. So I'll talk, maybe I'll talk to my wife about it. Maybe I'll chat with, I was going to say I'll ask Kenji if he's done anything. This is Kenji's shirt, by the way, or C. All right, let me look at some of the, yeah. Someone posted that you may lose subs if the song is cringe. It is cringe. I'm not sugarcoating it. I was, so it's like a, it's a song that people might recognize and I like change the words of it to make it like ultimate cringe. And it is really funny. I was playing it to myself or like singing it to myself. I'm like, this is so funny, but it's so bad. Like, it's like really bad. My mom is on here, Maria Freeberg. She said, this might be nuts. Yeah, nuts is my word of the day. I'll be using it today. We got something from Mozambique. So, hey, December 2024. I hope so, Druski. I hope so. That'd be nuts. No, that'd be wild. But hey, I see a lot of people joining, a lot of people posting in the comments. Can we see an office tour? I need inspiration. Yeah, you don't want to see my office. It's bad. This is the best part. Like behind it is the best part. My wife set all this up. Made it look really nice. This side is, and I'll kind of give you a visual demonstration. I have this mic here. This is my like close-up mic to my mouth for like tutorials. I have a really, not a big desk. It's a small desk. I have two computers. I have my camera right in front of me, which just autofocus on my hand. I got a mic right here. I got my light over here. That's it. Then I got guitars. Like I got a guitar there, a guitar here. Other than that, it's not very exciting. And it's kind of like a small, so like how it is is like here's our master bedroom is right there. And it's like supposed to be a sitting little sitting area here. But we put a wall up like these doors up and we made it into an office. So it's like a really small office. It's not super exciting. But I will say this was a massive step up from, because two years ago, we moved into this house a little over two years ago. I made it two years and four months or five months. But before that, back when we were in Texas, I was filming every single video in my kitchen with like we'd keep all this equipment in my garage. And then every single night or once a week when I would bring out my equipment, I'd bring all the equipment, I'd set it up, I'd record and then I'd edit it and then I'd post it like within that night. And so, yeah. Oh, Aaron Saunders asked about RStudio. That's a great question. I do plan on doing an R series. I've used R in my actual work, but I was much more confident in Python. So I've done a lot of Python content, but I've been getting better kind of into more of the advanced stuff with R. And so now that I'm feeling a lot more confident in R, I do plan on doing an R course. I also might be partnering with Posit, the people who created RStudio. They want to do some series on something like Shiny, which is where you can create apps and something like Cordo, where you can create a free portfolio online. That would just be like a really cool portfolio for people to create. That's something that I personally am excited about. So that partnership, it definitely might happen because I really like RStudio and Posit as like a company. And so if I can work with them, I'm going to try to. That could be a really cool mashup. Now for the people joining just so you know, I'll probably be doing the giveaway in like five, 10 minutes. I'm not trying to hold you guys for the whole like hour or here. Really what we're going to do is it's a completely different way of doing the giveaway. Just so you know, and I'm telling people now, I'm giving away my full courses and then one lifetime subscription to Analyst Builder. If you don't have an Analyst Builder account, if you want to redeem those, because I'm going to be giving out codes, like I'm going to say, hey, here's a code, you're going to have to redeem it by typing it in like at the checkout. So you'd have to go find a course, click on it, go to like the purchase, but you don't have to purchase it. I'm going to give you a code. There's going to be a certain amount of people who can use this code in order to redeem it and get access to it. So it's going to be a very different way that we're doing it. I'm trying it out. We'll see if it goes well. Before I just like chose somebody and then they had to email me and then I had to email them back a code and it was a whole thing. So this time it's a little bit different, but if you want to be able to get one of those free courses or if you want to get the lifetime access to Analyst Builder, which is going to be all of my courses forever and the questions and everything, you have to have an Analyst Builder account. So that is the only caveat to the giveaway. And if you want to delete your account right after that, if you don't win, I will not be offended. I'm not doing this to boost. I just, I made full courses, so I want to give them away to you guys because I really appreciate you guys. Let's see. Right on time. That's right. Right on time. All right. For just a little bit, I'm going to read some comments. We're going to do the giveaway and then we'll get into like the foolish stuff that, you know, you may or may not have come for. You know, I don't, I don't know. But we'll do the important stuff first. So let me see. Zane Khalid said, Hey, Alex, I'm in the UK. Should I start applying for jobs after doing everything in the 19 hour data analyst bootcamp? So I'm guessing you're talking about my data analyst bootcamp, the free one, the playlist on YouTube. If so, if you've done everything and everything includes all the projects, creating the portfolio, revamping your resume, everything, because that bootcamp does a lot more than just teach you the skills and then talk about like interviewing and all this different stuff. If so, I would definitely try. I would definitely try. Now here's what happens. If you start applying and you're using a recruiter like I recommend in the bootcamp, you're working with a recruiter and you cannot get interviews or recruiters will not work with you. That means it's a resume, a resume issue. If you're applying to just like a million jobs on LinkedIn or any zip recruiter or any other platform and you're not getting jobs, that means it's a resume issue. So then you really need to buff up your resume, whether either with better projects or education or whatever. If it's not a resume issue, if you're getting interviews, but then you're failing your interviews, maybe it's the technical portion of it or it's the behavioral portion or if it's just like general interview questions that you feel like you're not answering and they're like, Hey, how do you do data cleaning? Well, if you aren't answering it, it's an interview problem. So then you need to go into that issue knowing what to conquer. So you then work on answering these questions in a mirror and you work on them and you get better at them. So I'd say start applying. I would say start applying, see if you're getting anything. Try to work with recruiters if you can and see if you see if you can. Sorry, I was reading someone else's comment, but Matthew asked, have you done any work with fabric? Yes, I have. I've been testing out, trying it out. I was about to make a full video or full like series on fabric, but I just got, I got very derailed on a totally different topic. And so, you know, I didn't, but I do plan on doing that. That is, I have it written down. I plan on doing that. It's just maybe like longer term. What monitor size and resolution would you recommend for a data analyst? I don't know. People work on like 13 inch 12 inches. The ones I have are like 15.6 inches. I like big screens. Like I like the bigger screen. So the laptops I get are larger, but some people like the smaller ones. I, but refresh rate, I don't, or resolution rate. I just get the, any computer will have pretty good resolution rate. Let's see. Alan San Pedro said, congratulations on the 750,000 subscribers, Alex. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. One million by the end of the year. No, I most likely it'll be like this time next year. It'd be like in one year, which is still insane. If that actually happens. And when I hit a million, like I'm doing something big, I don't know what it is. I don't know what it is. I'm going to figure out something big. So if you have ideas, like shoot me a message on LinkedIn or something, it has to be like a big idea. The idea I threw out just a little bit ago was flying someone out to like, I live out in like Charleston, South Carolina, but flying someone to Charleston, South Carolina and just doing like a complete overhaul of like everything for them. Their resume, their CV, their, she's like, keep getting notifications on my phone. And then like walking, you know, helping them find recruiters, walking into the process, answering any questions they have, going out to like, you know, go do something fun in the area. Who knows. And so like, that was like my, my big idea off the top of my head. But if you have a better idea, then please shoot me a message or put it in the chat and I can maybe remember that. Let's see. Alex, please post some videos regularly on YouTube, so that some poor students like me can benefit from your lectures and boost their career. Puran, Chao, you must be new to the channel. That's totally fine. Just so you know, I post every single week, a free video on YouTube, every single week. And all of the content that I have is based around data analytics. And so if you haven't, go check out my data analyst bootcamp playlist. It's on my homepage. You can just click on Alex the analyst right down here. There are 75 videos that complete the entire bootcamp. And then I have another 220 videos that aren't in the bootcamp that just go into other topics and other areas. So completely free stuff. So highly recommend everyone around the world to be taking those and using those because it's free. It was really funny. I had someone the other day, they were taking a college course. I think it was in like Ohio or something. And they sent me a screenshot. And the screenshot was of my lesson, one of my lessons. And they said this is part of their course. And I was just like, it's just wild to me. And this is nothing against higher education, although it kind of is. But these places, they can't create this content fast enough. And so they get it from other places. And so I've had a lot of people, like probably 20 colleges, 30 colleges across at least the United States that I've heard about that people have messaged me saying they use my content for some of their learning. And so this is a completely free place to learn. I hope you can use it and enjoy it and learn from it. We need gen AI course as per market demands. Can you create a bootcamp on machine learning and AI with respective projects and hand on practice exercises? That's a lot to ask Arjun. That's a lot to ask. Here's what I will say. AI is a huge thing. I'm going to be doing a series on AI and how to use it in data analytics. That'll be completely free. That's not going to be a problem. The problem is I'm not really a machine learning expert. It's not my area of expertise. Now, have I used it or been around it in my real work? Yes. But what I consider myself knowledgeable enough to create content on it? No, that's why I don't. But I have in the past made videos on my favorite machine learning courses because I have taken many courses on it and I really like it. And so no, I won't make any content on machine learning, but implementing AI products in your workflow are things I do all the time. And so I will definitely make something on that. Let's see. Let's see. Congratulations. Thank you, Mike. I appreciate it. All right. Let's see this. This is from Henry. He said, Hi, Alex. How do I migrate from a health personnel to becoming a data analyst or data scientist? Health care related jobs are one of the main ones that I see people transferring into. I also see finance, you know, just like cashier jobs, teachers. But healthcare jobs for whatever reason tend to be the biggest ones that I see people trans transitioning from like a nurse or dental hygienist or a doctor or a pharmacist. And then they become, they want to transfer into the data side of healthcare. It makes perfect sense because I used to be on the healthcare provider side, you know, doing like therapeutic services. And so when you're doing that stuff, you actually do get a pretty good sense of the data and how it works. And you're like, you can even think about it. You're like, oh, I could, I could see how that'd be useful using that data. Well, transferring the skill, transferring from one position to another position is just a framework shift and then adding a few tools. When I first started out, really the biggest thing that helped me was my healthcare background. And so it's a really big benefit. Like if you have hands on experience as any healthcare professional, and you just wrote health professional, so I'm going to say, let's say you're a nurse, you have so much knowledge, so much really valuable, useful knowledge in healthcare around medications, around dosages, around, you know, how the ICD codes and HixPix codes and the CPT codes and billing and claims and all this data. You have a lot of knowledge around this. And so you have to change your resume and add some skills. So what that means is on your resume, you're not going to say, I would do this work as a nurse. What you're going to say is, is here's how I use the data as a nurse. It's just a, it's just a, just a shift in how you're perceiving it. And then also you have to then get the skills to analyze the data. So then if you take like, you know, Excel, if you learn Excel, SQL, Table Low, just those three, combined with really strong domain knowledge, you can find a lot of jobs at healthcare companies, like the one I used to work out, which was Amerisource Bergen, we used to hire lots of nurses, lots of doctors, because we worked in pharmacy specialty solutions where they needed to know the healthcare industry inside and out. And so that's where I was working for many years. And so that's what I would do. I would just learn those skills. I would change around your resume to be more analyst and data focused for your position. And then I would apply to jobs specifically that are healthcare related pharmaceutical companies, pharmacy distribution companies, hospitals, things like that. I've known many people who have done those exact steps and landed jobs. One mentor I worked with maybe like a year and a half ago, got a job as a data analyst, he was a pharmacist. So he was working in a pharmacy. He had a, you know, medical degree and all these things. He didn't like it and wanted to switch. And so he did. And I helped him, I helped him do that. Keep going asks, Hey Alex, can you talk more about cloud, AWS, Azure, et cetera? I've heard a lot about it, but I don't know what it is for. Well, you are in for a treat, my friend, because in about four weeks or so, I'm going to be starting my AWS and Azure series on YouTube. And I'm going to be going through like the core concepts of what is cloud computing first off. So that's going to be the lesson number one, but then I'll go into AWS, Azure first. Give me one second. Excuse me. I'll go into Azure first here, like three or four tools that I use the most in Azure. And here's what you need to know. Then we're going into AWS in AWS. Here are the tools that you need to know as a data analyst, how to query data, how to connect data sources, how to maybe even do some of the ETL processes. So that's coming up. And that's going to be a longer series. That's going to be like seven or eight videos, which spans like, I post one a week, something like two and a half months of stuff on it. But just to answer your question, what is cloud computing? It's a thing like on your computer, you go to run Python or SQL and you're using all the compute on your computer using your GPUs, your CPUs, your memory. And it's working to process all the data in your database or on your SQL script or Python script. So that is what's happening in the cloud, but you don't have to use your own compute. You're using borrowed compute from a server that's, you know, they have servers all over the world. But I, you know, like in Azure, I'd be using like Ohio's server for Azure. And so I hit off of, I run a query in the cloud instead of using my own computer as the compute, I'm borrowing or paying for compute off of a server. And in essence, in a very small way, that's kind of what the cloud is. The cloud is not having to buy on-prem servers for a company and hiring someone to then maintain those servers. You are essentially just paying to rent servers, paying for server compute space. But besides that, there are so many tools that AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, all these different cloud providers, and there's so many niche ones as well that I've used. But all these different cloud providers, they have all their own solutions for different things, like ETL tools within, let's say Azure is Azure Data Factory and you can automate data pipelines and things like that. Or you, you know, there are databases that are hosted in the cloud on Azure AWS. And so there's a lot of services as well. And so it does a ton of things. Oh, I skipped a bunch. It does this every time. I'm sorry. I just skipped a bunch of questions. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. All right, guys, in three minutes, because I went too far talking, in three minutes, we're going to be doing the giveaway. I'll tell you how to do the giveaway, but just so you know, just to preface you, preface this, you have to have an analyst builder account because I'm giving away my full courses and a free, full lifetime access to the platform. So what you'll need to do is like, be ready to type in a code to redeem it and some people will get it, some people won't. So just like, you can delete your account afterwards. I don't care. Or if you haven't tried the platform, you should because it's great. But it's just, that's how you can redeem it. I can't, I'm not doing it the same way I used to do it. Sean Ting said, Hey, Alex, I just got employed as in a nonprofit as a data analyst. Fantastic. I also started out as a data analyst. Oh, my sister was sending me something. I also started off at a nonprofit as a data analyst. That was when I got my first break. And then I just kind of worked my way up from there. But congratulations. That's fantastic. Let's see. Would Wajid Shaik said, Hello, sir, how are you? I'm doing really good. I'm having a great day. My kids did well this morning. Me and my wife just went out for tacos down the street a little bit ago. And now I get to celebrate with you guys doing a 750,000 subscriber stream. So I'm super happy. I appreciate you asking. What is this? I'm trying to get, there we go. Robert Locke, Lockemeier said, Did you ever come across or interview people from academia that are looking to change careers? How are they perceived? Yes. Absolutely 100%. That's not actually that uncommon. When I was kind of tossing around different people earlier, different jobs. Hey, baby, you can help with the giveaway. Yes. Yes. We're doing it in one minute. And then you can announce, you can announce the thing. All right. Give it, get one minute and I come back. Okay. All right. My wife is going to help me do the giveaway announcements. But answer your question. Yes. Academia is a big one. And usually they're perceived perfectly fine. They're like, Oh, I was a, you know, I was a professor at this college in, you know, data analytics or computer science or statistics or anything like that. They're usually perceived perfectly fine. Let's see. Actually, I can't answer anymore. I'm going to answer more questions later. I promise. Now here's what's going to happen. All right, baby, you can come in. All right. Here's what's going to happen. And you have to, you have to do this exactly. Otherwise you just not, you're not going to get it. I'm going to verbally say a code. I'm going to tell you, I'm going to say the code is one, two, three. It's not the, that refers to a coupon code. So what you need to go do is go to analyst builder, click on a course that you want one course, just click on the MySQL for data analytics course, the Excel course, the pandas course, the tablet, whichever course you want, just click on it and go to purchase it. But don't actually purchase it. There's a coupon code. You can type in a coupon code there. You need to wait. And I'm going to be verbally or my wife or I are going to verbally say a code. I'm going to say one, two, three. You need to be the first person to type in one, two, three and redeem the code and buy it for free. It should be free. Don't buy it if the code doesn't work for you. Okay, how does it work? I'm telling them right now. All right. Come over here. Come over here. You can get in the shot. You can see, you'll be able to see yourself up here. This is my wife. This is my wife right here. They can't really see my face, can they? Yeah. Scrooge down. Oh my God. I'm like squatting. There you go. That's perfect. Give a chair. I don't have a chair. Okay. Okay. So like I said, just wait, I'm trying, I'm going to walk them through one more time. What you need to do, go to analystbuilder.com, go to pricing and go to courses. There's a bunch of courses. Click on, click buy on the one you want. You don't actually have to buy it. Don't worry. But when it pulls up, it pulls up to a screen and there is an ad promotion code. Click on that ad promotion code because in just one second, that looks great. Looks great. In just a second, she's going to give you that promotion code. You need to type it in and redeem it as quick as possible. And then you need to, you'll buy it for free. If it doesn't work for you, don't pay for it. Don't because then I don't, I don't want you to pay for it if you don't want it. But I'll be giving out 10 promotion codes, 10 of them. So 10 people, whoever types the fastest and types it in the quickest, they're going to win it. We're doing it different this way because last time what happened is, is I would say, Hey, right in the chat, one, two, three, I have a thousand things. I'd choose one person. They'd have to email me. I'd email them back. They'd email me and then I'd email them the code as a whole process. It was too long. Very cumbersome. So are you ready to give out the first code? Okay. Now you have to be very specific. It is, this is the first one. It's in all caps. It's exciting. It's in all caps. So you have to tell them it's very specifically what the code is. Yes. Tell them this is the first promotion code that people can use. Okay. I'm going to, I'm going to go with bird. No, no. It's right here. I'm confused. What are we doing? Christine. What? What happened? I already have created the codes. Oh, okay. The codes already created. Oh, got it. You can't just say a random code. No, I'm on it. I promise I do have a degree. Okay. You don't have, I, so this one right here is the first one. That is the one you have to say. Is that an exclamation point at the end? It's a one at the end. It's okay. Okay. The code is all caps. Give away one. The number one. Give away one. Go. So try to redeem that and you'll get a free course. All right. Now if that didn't work for you, that's okay because we have nine other chances to get one. How often do you do these? Back to back? Like right now, you're about to give the next one. Someone, someone is, or- I didn't know if you like kept talking. Someone out there already took giveaway one. They redeemed it. They got it. Congratulations. If you want it, put it in the, no, wait guys, don't put, don't type giveaway one in the chat. You guys, you guys were not paying attention. I'm, it's, I made them nervous. All right, listen, listen, listen, listen. Don't type give, don't type giveaway one. All right. This is nerve wracking. All right. Tell them, tell them don't write it. Okay, listen. All right. Just re-explain. I'm doing it one last time. So I have full courses on my platform. It's called analystbuilder.com. Tons of full courses and I'm trying to give them away for free. And then I'm going to give away a lifetime subscription with one lifetime subscription that'll give lifetime access to someone out there, whoever types in the code. So what you need to do is you go over to analystbuilder.com. You have to have an account. If you don't like it, you can delete it later. I don't care. But you have to have an account. I'm just trying to give away courses to people who want them. You go to pricing. You go to courses. You choose a course. Any course. Any course they want. Oh, wow. And the giveaway goes to any course they want. Any course they want. Oh, that's exciting. Then you click buy. Don't buy it. You do not have to buy it. I'm giving you a code. But in the checkout, there's an ad promotion code. And you're going to type in, you're going to type in the code. Give away one. Give away one. That's the first code. It's already been, let me see. I bet it's already been redeemed. Okay, let's see. Yeah. Actually, somehow two people were able to redeem it. Whoa. At the same time? It must have been like at the exact same time. So congratulations. Somehow two people redeemed it, even though Stripe only allows for one person to redeem it. Y'all like hack the system. So how do they know that they won? They have access to the course. Oh, well they should shout out if they won. Yeah, if you shout them out. Yeah, if you won. Oh, he got it. Allum, Allu, Bonmu, Aiyedo. I butchered the name, but congratulations. Good job. Awesome job. Now, if you've won, if you already want it, don't try to get another course. Let someone else do it. Don't be the person. Yeah, but yes, Roman, the promotion code you entered has expired and has been removed from your order. That means you didn't get it, but you'll have more chances. Someone else redeemed it before you. It's the new system. I know it's confusing. I'm going to, I'm about to give out nine more codes, which will give you nine more opportunities. Now, nine more times. You're competing against other people to type in the fastest. It's like a challenge. It's like a competition. It's insane. It's like the fastest type of wins. There you go. Who's typing in banana? There's no banana. I haven't said banana. I don't know what's happening. Oh boy. Oh boy. Someone's just typing banana in here. Let's go to the next code. Let's keep this momentum going. Okay. The next code. Yes, if you try to redeem it, it doesn't work. Don't buy the course. You just wait for another code. That's all you got to do. All right. Here comes the next code. I feel like we've given ample time. And I understand the system now too. You now understand the system. All right. The faulty link won't be me. This is the next one right here. Very similar, but different. All right. She's going to give out the next code. Now, listen, when she tells you the code, it's the first person to type it in and use the promotion code. If you don't use the promotion code and like, get it. Don't buy the course. You don't have to. I'm not here to, I'm not trying to pedal my courses. I'm just, I want to give away my courses. Go ahead and give the next code. The code is all caps. Give away 77. Give away 77. Give away 77. That is the next code. So the first code was giveaway one. It's already been done. You can't use it anymore. Next one is giveaway 77. I'm going to refresh real quick. See if someone used it already. That'd be quick. Actually, there's a delay on the YouTube. There's delay on YouTube. What? No, look, there, right there. Where? Oh, is that the code? This is the code. This is a different one. Oh, oh, someone got real smart and guessed one of the other codes. Oh, sneaky, sneaky. Who put that in? Hey, listen, props to you. So, somebody guessed one of the, one of the codes is in all caps, Alex the analyst and somebody, somebody guessed it and got it away, got it correct. Apparently we're not smart enough for your followers because they really did it this time. Hey, if you can, if you can guess the other codes, go for it. I'm not going to, that was, that's impressive. That was one of the codes, but giveaway 77 is the, this code. Somebody, somebody guessed it. That's pretty wild. That's impressive. All right, let's see, somebody should have redeemed. There you go. Give away 77. It's already been used. If you want it, put it in the chat. Oh, Nick said he got it. It's gone. Good job, Nick. Good job, Nick. Awesome. We're proud of you. All right, and somebody took the Alex the analyst one. I can't believe that. That was impressive. I'm really genuinely like, someone was thinking outside the box and I like it. That person needs a job, but they don't already know. Yeah, that was, I like it. I like the engine, you know, the ingeniousness. All right. Next code is coming. So if you didn't win that code, yes, there are many code. There's that one down. The only one you cannot do is this one. Right. I want, I want to do that. Okay. You go for it. Yeah. You go for it. Okay. Here's the next code. Next code. All caps. I love. I love you. That is the next code. I love you. And it's true. It is true. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love all of you. All right. So that's the next code is I love you. Martha said she got it. Martha got it. Congrats, Martha. Excellent. Excellent. Does it show Radeed? It'll show it a little bit a second. Yeah. It'll show in a second. Oh, I think they were talking about that one. She did the Alex the analyst. She might have stolen the out. Oh, Martha. If Martha was the genius one. Okay. Okay. If you're watching now, I'm going to stop because we've used four of them now. Four codes. Here's how this is working. You go to analyst is Matthew moderator a code. I'll make one for you later. I'll make one for you later. I'll shoot you a message on Discord. Does that mean someone gets that one? Oh, that's inactive. It's inactive. I didn't put a stop on it. So here's how this is working. But if you're an old school follower, you could guess one of those. Some of these are ones that you could guess if you're, you're a, yeah, you've been following the channel for a long time. The intent, I'm not trying to give it away though. But here's how this is working. I have created a platform called analyst builder.com where I have all my full courses. So like on YouTube, I have like a series for Tableau, but I have a full Tableau course on analyst builder. So if you go to analyst builder.com and you go to pricing and you go to courses, like you're ready to like check out, like you find a course that you like, you click on, you go to the courses under pricing. I'm doing it now just so I can see it. You click on, okay, I want to buy Excel for data analytics. You don't have to buy it. Don't do that. But you just click like you click buy, you go to add promotion code. What I'm doing is I'm giving codes away that you type in and if you type in the correct code first, because there's a, I don't know, a couple hundred other people trying to type in the code at the same time. Whoever gets it first, that's who gets the code. And then they say, hey, you know, I got the code. Segun, okay, I may have to create a few more codes. He just gets, he gets, give away 750 and he got it right. That was one of the codes. People are guessing these. Okay. I'll put, I'll make some different codes. I'll make it more than 10. Don't worry about it. Listen, if they can guess it, I'm not mad at them. Like great job. Yes. If it got unredeemed, that means someone else used the code before you. That's what that means. So you have to get ready to type in the promotion code, use it, it'll go to $0. So you don't have to buy it. You don't have to spend money. And then you buy it for free. Okay. I think I've given enough time. Let's refresh real quick. Somebody got that giveaway 750. Who was that? Segun? Awesome job. I can't even believe that. Good guess. Let me see how many are left, because I may have to make more. Somebody guess potato? What? Great job. Oh, wait, no. Oh, wait. Potato is the code. Somebody didn't use it. Use potato. All caps. You put it out there. I thought someone had used it because it looked like that. It says inactive. All caps. It means I made it inactive. Oh, you did it. Oh, somebody put potato. Potato. All caps, potato. Put potato in. All caps, potato. It does not work for bundles. The codes I'm giving out right now are only for one course. I'll be giving out one code at the very end at the last code I give, which is going to be for the lifetime subscription to Annalsville. It's going to give you every single course that I've made as well as all future courses. And it's going to give you access to the questions where you can practice for your technical interviews. They'll give you that for free. You're giving a bundle away at the end? No, it is a bundle. It's the lifetime bundle. Yeah, that's a big deal. Okay, so let's see if somebody used the potato. And if they did, yep. Yeah, somebody got the potato. Oh, man. Somebody got the potato. Oh, I know you don't believe that. I do believe that. Let's do that one next. All right, here's the next one. This one I don't think anyone would guess. This is a tough one to guess. You can do it. Okay. Well, they're all all caps. So all caps. But it's dogs are better. Dogs are better. I'm not saying I agree or disagree. It's an objective. It's an objective fact. So we'll use that code. Somebody can redeem that. Again, this is like a race. This is like amazing race over here. I'm nervous. I'm nervous. You have to type it in quick. You have to redeem it immediately and then buy it for free. It's too high stress for me. Very high stress. This is like really tough. Okay, I'm stressing everybody out. I'm stressing people out and I like it. Because you're in charge. You have to go. People are still asking how to do this. I've explained it a few times, but here's how you do it. You go to analystbuilder.com. You go to pricing. You go to courses and you find the course that you want to buy. Any course. And you click on it. Let's say I want to get the Excel course for free. Because you don't have to buy any of these. But you just click on buy. It brings you to like a checkout page and there's an ad promotion code. Go to ad promotion code. And when I give you a code, you type in it as fast as you can and you buy it for free. Really, they should have that screen up. Yes, that's what I've been telling everyone to do. Yeah, all right. Because then if you're the first person to type in that code, you get it for free. Don't buy it. If you don't want to buy it, don't. I don't want you to. I want you to use the code. But you have to be fast. That's the tough part. You have to be fast. So just get ready. The next code is coming. It's on analystbuilder.com. You got to go there. Right. Did someone do the dogs or better ones? Lifetime code is not there yet. Lifetime code is not there yet. This is hard. Someone wrote, this is hard. Listen, you're competing against like 200 people in a stressful. You have to type in it as quick as you can. All right. But I will say this is better for everyone else, for everyone involved, because you get the code immediately and you don't have to wait for me to email me, email back, tell me which it's instant. You instantly get it. And I like instant gratification. Yeah. So Siraj, if Siraj Vogg said that he types in the promo code, he said it was correct, but payment failed. That means someone else redeemed it before you. You weren't quick enough. You got to be quick. No, you shouldn't have to input any information. It should just be zero and then you can do it. You shouldn't have to put in any of your debit card, credit card, any information. You shouldn't have to put in anything. So no, that's it. Mr. Number said that you need to take my guitar behind me and run. They don't want, they don't want to hear my song that I made. That's funny. You phrased it as cringey. If you'd never told people it was cringey. I know who I am. Then they wouldn't think. I know who I am. I did not say cringey. I just want to put that out. It's going to be cringey and I'm aware of this. But I didn't say cringey. I'm doing it. I, the more, oh, somebody found, somebody found another one. Somebody found the 750k subs. That was a code. 750k subs. Somebody found that. How many more do we have? One, two more, but I'm going to make another one. I'll let you choose it. Actually, why don't you tell me and you can tell them at the same time. By the time I make it, they'll have heard it. So what do you want it to be? Just a lot of pressure. Do it quick and it has to be accurate. All caps. The, T-H-E. The? Byrg. B-R-G. B-R-G. That's it. The Byrg. All right. I've added it. The code has been created. The Byrg, T-H-E, B-E-R-G, all caps. She just made it up. I put it in here. So it's there. But go ahead and redeem that one. So that is the next code. We're routine, baby. Yep, yep, yep. That is the next code. but I have two more of these codes, then we'll do the lifetime bundle. Ooh. Yes, that's the most exciting one by the way because that one you get like access to all of my courses and my new courses that I'll make and you get access to all the questions page, all the premium questions page stuff. So that is the next one. I have a question for you before you say the next one. Yeah. What is the best thing, top number one ultimate thing about being a data analyst? The best thing about it? The pay. Well, not everyone's on YouTube doing data analysis day. I'm talking about like. The actual job of it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, when I got into it, my favorite thing was the money. But I also really love the technology. I just liked learning a lot. So I learned a ton. Yeah, I was going to say, you like learning. Put me on the spot here. Well, because we had a bunch of kids we had to take care of. That's true. So. All right, somebody redeem that code. Good job. All right, we got two codes left, two codes left. I'm going to give you the generic boring one. And then we'll leave the fun code. Again, this is just for a single course. This is just a one course code. In just a second, it'll be the lifetime code. And I'll tell you how to get that one. All right, the next code, you want to do this one? Sure. Mm-hmm. Give away 101. Give away 101. That's the next code. And somebody, two people redeem the giveaway 750. Stripe does not know how to process so many people trying at one code at the same time. We're at the whim of the internet. That's happened many times. I'm probably giving away like, probably in the end, like going to give away like 15 of these. But give away 101. And we have one left after this one. This one's my favorite. Well, besides I love you. That's sweet. This is my second favorite. Let's see if someone got that one. I'm coming. Give away 101. They nailed it. Actually, two people got that one. Two. Are you guys putting this in here? Are they telling us? Yeah, you're telling me if you got it. If you got it, put it in the chat because I want to celebrate you. I want to say, hey, great job. Well, thank you for the course. Thank you for the course. Let me see. Congratulations. Looking forward to seeing. Ahmed, maybe Ahmed won it. All right, we're giving away two more courses. Why do they think that's impossible? Maybe to do it first. Oh. Oh, Victor said he got it. Yay. Go, Victor. Go, Victor. Good job, Victor. That means, oh, wait, two people got it. Christopher got it, too. What is happening? Who else got it? Jeez. Are they sure they got it? If they're saying they got it, they got it. All right. Oh, boy. All right, let's see the last one. All right, here's the very last code for a single course. After this code, we're going to go to the bundles and go to the lifetime bundle. The lifetime, it's like lifetime access to Analyst Builder is what it's called. It should be there to see it. So this next code, this is just for one course. So click on the course you like. Pretend you're in the checkout. You have to put in the promotion code. All right, we should all be on the same page now. The very last one, and I'm not going to spell it for you. That's what I was thinking, to make it more challenging. This is the challenge. You have to spell it correctly. And if you're a fan of the channel, you go way back. You've been watching for a long time. You'll understand this. It's like one mind. The very last code for a single course is in all caps, asparagus. Asparagus. If you are a longtime subscriber to the channel, I do my long form videos. And at the end of every single video, I ask them to put a vegetable in the chat. At the end, just like, hey, if you watched it, if you watched all the way through. And so asparagus was one that I've used in the past. And someone guessed potato. So somebody out there really, they guessed it beforehand. They earned that one. They earned that course. Yeah, you're not putting the code in the chat. Not putting the code in the chat. The code has to go into Analyst Builder. You have to be the first one to redeem it. You have to be the first person. Let's see if somebody got that one. I'm sure. There we go. It's gone. It's gone. They spelled it right? Yeah, every single code for the courses is gone. Who got asparagus? Let's say somebody already got it. I just ate asparagus. It says the code has expired. If it says expire, that means someone else took it. So don't try it again. It won't work. What we're about to do. All right, if you were trying to get that, you didn't get it. That's OK. We have one last one to go to. So go to pricing. Go to bundles. You'll see on the left-hand side, it says lifetime access to Analyst Builder. This is the big boy. This is it will give you access to all of my courses, full courses, and the questions part where you can practice for technical interviews. It'll give you everything and all my future courses for free. So this is the big one. This is exciting. This one I'm excited about. Yes, this is the biggest one. Someone said, nice Alex, missed out on all of them. How about 50% off? I really should do that. For just like an hour or something? Yeah, I should do something like that. Give me a sec. How about this? We'll do this giveaway, then I'll make one real quick. Because I agree, I would still like to give you a discount if you really want to. But I'm not trying to solicit people to purchase anything. I don't want you to. I just want people to get access to them for free. But I'll also give a 50% code for anyone who would want to use it if you would like to. So, and this will just be for people who are in the chat. Just for people who are in the chat. So here's our lifetime access to Analyst Builder time. We're gonna be giving away that. Again, you'll get everything. What's the code for that? I need to get it right. I need to pull it up. Should be right here. And it's right there. Oh, jeez. That's the code. It's a Tuffy. It's a Tuffy. It's just long. It's just come for some. It's a big one. Who? All right. All right. Are you gonna say it? To your channel. You can say it if you'd like. To your channel. All right guys, get ready. Whoever gets it, it's only one. Maybe two people will get it though. Get it going. Get your fingers ready. Practice. So this is for the lifetime access to Analyst Builder. Get ready to type it in. I'm trying to help here. Don't put it in the chat. Don't put it in the chat. It will not. No, you won't get charged. If it declines, you won't get charged. I promise. I'm not trying to trick anybody. I'm trying to give away courses. All right. Here's the big kahuna. Here's the lifetime access to Analyst Builder code. The code is, and you have to spell it out. All caps. It's big in. It's lifetime giveaway number seven. Lifetime giveaway seven. That is the code. So type that in. I hope someone gets it. Maybe two people will get it. Maybe it'll glitch out again and give two people the code. Oh wow, that'd be wild, wouldn't it? All caps. Lifetime giveaway seven. Nini said wait. I can't wait. Oh, no, she just said wait. Oh, I can't wait. Oh, he said fingers at the ready. That's right. All right, now while you guys are doing that, I will go create a 50% off. She said I'm gonna have a heart attack. It's you and me both. Yeah, it's tough. I'm sweating over here. All right. Oh, you're doing 50%? I'm gonna, yeah, I'll create a 50% because it was nice. And I agree, I should do something like that. For everyone who showed up and maybe didn't win, they can still buy. Somebody asked about merch. You giving any merch? I don't, I'm not. I have done that in the past but then it took like two weeks to get to somebody. Oh yeah, that's tough. Like when I had shirts and things like that, it just took a long time to get there and then there were shipping issues. So this way, you get it immediately. So if you were one of the lucky people who either won a course or won the Lifetime, congratulations. Do I get to see your song before I go? Yeah, if all the codes were expired that means somebody, I don't know if I want to sing it when you're around. Why? You sing all the time around me. It's very embarrassing. I would only do it for strangers. Not the person you love. Yeah. Please, that's too much. It's too much. I don't know if I can bear it. Well, while you're putting that code in, does anybody have questions for us? I'm not. Because I'm only here for like five minutes and then I'm gonna bounce. Oh, you want people to ask you questions? No, they don't need to ask me questions. I'm saying as a unit, if they have any questions in regards to like, I don't know, life. I need one more. Give me one sec. He's focused. Okay. Let's just focus, face. It is. All right, so this is the 50% off code. Why did these probably, might see, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. All right, I'm making the 50% off code just so I can give it to everybody because I do agree if you didn't win. We won the Lifetime once. I should at least. That's a good question. Let's see if anyone won the Lifetime one real quick. And if it says expired, it means you did not get it. If it says expired, that means no one has gotten it. Now maybe someone didn't. Oh, somebody got it. Somebody snatched it. If you got it, put it in the, if you snatched it, put it in the comments. I want to know. I want to know. Man, there's people in Egypt. They want to know what you majored in, honey. Oh, I have a degree in recreational therapy. They want to know top three degrees to make a career in data science as well. These are questions. I'll do a bit of Q and A in a little bit. It's 152. I probably don't have that much time because when are you leaving? Because I need to leave right after you. Wait, what time is it? It's 152. I gots to go get ready. All right. All right, bye bye. Love you. Love you. All right, let's see. I'm making the expiration date at the end of today. All right, I'm going to put this code in the chat. Use it. Don't use it. That's up to you. Let me see what that code was. Where did I make that code? Whoops. Seven, okay. 750K off. All right, guys. If you did not win, if you weren't fast enough, you didn't redeem the code fast enough, I'm sorry. But if you were fast enough, congratulations. I hope you love the course. And I made these courses so that, you know, I could just go crazy in depth in them and really make a lot of value. If you didn't get one and you still want to purchase the course, you don't have to. This is not, that's not what I'm trying to do in this stream, I promise. But someone asked if they could still get 50% off. And so I'm just going to make a 50% off code for anyone who wants to buy one course. It's 750, that's the number, K off in all caps. So you can use that code, get 50% off. And, you know, if you want to, you don't have to though. So that was it. Can you use it more than once? You can use that code as many times as you'd like. But it only lasts until the end of the day, the 50% off, because that's just for you guys. It's not for you to hand off to your friend in a week and they get 50% off everything. It's just for you, just for you guys. So it won't last, it won't last a long time. For the bundles, the bundles are already discounted as much as I can make them. For me to actually make a little bit of money off of them. So I have them priced as low as I can probably get them, because there's a lot. Because again, I mean, this platform I have to pay a lot. I actually cost a lot of money to upkeep for the service space and the video space. And I have to do like enterprise plan of Vimeo because we have so many users. And so I can't price it any lower unfortunately. But yeah, but you can get fizzers on off any course. I hope that is helpful, I really do. So thank you guys so much for participating. That is the giveaway portion of today's event. I have maybe like 15 minutes, maybe 20 minutes before I need to leave. And I need to go pick up my daughter and bring her to dance. Now, I don't wanna do this. I kinda do. I don't wanna do this, but I'm gonna do it. We're entering a portion of today's event where I will humiliate myself for your entertainment. Will I be embarrassed? No, I have no shame. But someone somewhere is gonna post this on. So last time I did this, somebody posted it on Instagram and somewhere and people laughed at me. Yes, you can use that, my mom texted me. Can you use the code for 50% off for more than once? Yes, you can buy any course. You can buy, if you wanna go buy every single course for 50% off, you can go for it. It's only gonna be a limited time so it's not gonna last that long. But last time, last time I sang, somebody posted on their YouTube channel, someone else posted it on Instagram, someone posted on LinkedIn and Twitter. And I'm proud of that, I'm proud of that fact. So it doesn't hurt me anymore, it never hurt me. I know what I'm doing. So what we're gonna do is, I'm gonna sing a song. Now this song is something you may recognize. It used to be or was a very popular song back in the day. And if you're an office fan, if you like to show the office, there's a specific scene that made me think of doing this. And I thought it was really funny. I thought it was really funny, or not funny, in the show I was crying, because it was so emotional. But now I'm gonna sing it to you and it'll just be funny because I'm not Steve Carell, nor am I the office, in the office, which is unfortunate. So here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna play a little song for you guys. And if you like it, great. If not, that's okay. 750,000 YouTube subscribers. That's a whole lot of people out in the world. 750,000 YouTube subscribers. That's way too high a number for me to count. In lessons, in tutorials, in mistakes, in lots of edgies, in sequel, in Excel, Python, so much more. 750,000 YouTube subscribers. That's a whole lot of people in the world. 750,000 YouTube subscribers. That's way too high a number for me to count. That's it. That's my song. I hope you enjoyed it. I hope you enjoyed it. Now if you don't know what that song is, the original song, let me find it real quick. Seasons of Love. It's called Seasons of Love. You can look that up. But that was on the office. And if you remember on the office, Michael Scott was leaving. He had just married Holly Flax. They're gonna be moving to Boulder, Colorado, and he got a job out there. And he was about to leave. And so the whole cast got into, or not the cast, but all the office got into a room and they sang 9,786,000 minutes. And that was how long he had worked at Dunder Mifflin in that location. So it was just, I saw that somewhere and I was like, I think I can make a different version of that for a different version of that. Thank you guys. Thank you guys. I appreciate it. Listen, somebody somewhere is gonna be watching this and they're like, I'm gonna put that on YouTube and, or not YouTube, but like Instagram or somewhere. I will share it. I am not embarrassed. I will share it to my crowd as well. So I hope you enjoyed it. Let me see. Yeah, exactly. It's the saddest scene of the office. You guys get it. Like if you've seen that show, it was heartbreak. I remember, I actually watched through the office maybe last year again. I've watched through it like 10 times, too many times. But I watched through it again and I've seen it so many times that every single time I see it, I start tearing up. I have like a little tear going on my face and then it's done and I'm like, like, oh gosh, Steve. Steve, stay. Because I know how, you know, if you know the office, then the next several seasons, they weren't as good without Steve Crow. But anyways, that is, that's the whole show. That's the whole show. Now, we have maybe like 10 more minutes. I'll stick around, we'll hang out and maybe I'll answer some questions. Matthew gave me as five for five. He does this every time. Matthew, you don't have to do this. You don't have to do this, my friend. But Matthew always gives me five bucks during my live stream to give me a five for five for Wendy's because I don't know what he does that. I can't remember, it was too long ago. It was like two years ago when you started doing that, but it always makes me laugh. So, oh, a UK office. Oh, I hope you didn't win a code. I hope you didn't earn a free code. I can't stay in the UK office. I did not like it. I've watched through almost all of it and I was like, I can't handle this anymore. So it's not my, I like the American office. All right, that's all I got. We're on the way. We are on a trajectory to get to a million and I really do wanna do something really big for a million subscribers. So if you have ideas, if you have something that you're like, this would be an amazing thing for someone to win, shoot me a message on LinkedIn, put it in the comments, although I might miss it in here, but shoot me a message on LinkedIn, Instagram, send me an email and let's see if we can get something awesome. My initial idea and I need to talk to my wife about this, but it was like flying someone in to like meet them in person, to, you know, talk data with them, you know, we'll go out to like a game, we'll revamp your resume. It'll be a great time. You just get some like, I don't know, some time with Alexianlust. I don't know if that's a win or a loss. I don't know if that's a prize, but that was like my initial idea, but I don't know if it could be a woman because, again, I'm married. So that, you know, it'd get weird. So that idea is like, maybe I can't do that one, but I will all confer. I'll confer with the wife, see if she has any ideas as well. I hope you enjoyed the song. That took me all of like five minutes to write. All right, so it took me a long time. So I hope you enjoyed it. Give me a second. I haven't drank any water this whole time. I'm parched. My mom said, total data makeover. Yeah, you get a total data makeover, Alexianlust edition. There you go. I think it was 750K off. Now this only works for single individual courses, individual courses. But that's a code. Just, we did a big giveaway earlier. I think like 15 people got free courses and then one person earned the every course on the whole platform as well as all future courses. And congratulations, by the way. I like giving away stuff because I just like, I like people, you know, getting those things. And, you know, I used to give away free mentorships, like I give them a free call where they would call me one-on-one and we would chat through everything. But this I feel like is a longer term play. You get to choose the course you like and you get to do that. So if you didn't get one of the free courses, I'll still give you 50% off because somebody asked for that. And so, I hope that's helpful. All right, let me answer a few questions. I'm gonna save this granola bar until I'm off of it. I was thinking about eating this a little bit ago because when I talk a lot, I get parched. And sometimes a granola bar in some water really helps. And if you're curious, I don't know if it'll zoom in on that. It's Kirkland brand Soft and Chewy granola bar. It's one of my favorite granola bars. My wife knows. She buys me these giant boxes. Like, they're huge. And I put them right under there. So this is my giant box of granola bars. Soft and Chewy. Anywho, it's a little bit TMI. Nobody cares about your granola bars, Alex. The code was already redeemed if you're asking. Somebody already earned, use the code. So all I did was I gave everyone the code at the same time. They had to type it in and get redeemed at the fastest. It's like fast fingers. So whoever redeemed at the fastest, they got it. And so somebody already earned it. So I don't have any more codes to give away. But, you know, there you go. But thank you guys. That's just my like, I feel like genuinely you guys have done so much for me over these past four years, giving away some of my courses and like a lifetime. That's like the least I can do. And so in my time, of course, doing this, but like that's like the least I can do. I don't know how else to do it except keep making good content for you guys and just be really appreciative of everything that you guys have done for me. And so, but again, think of that million subscriber. Once we get to a million subscribers, I'm gonna do something big. I gotta do something like that costs money. Like a lot of money. I wanna do something like big. I don't know what it is though. Not a lot of money. All right, let's not get crazy. I'm not wealthy. I'm just, I mean, I could probably go up to like a thousand bucks. I have to run that by the wife though. That's a, that'd be a business expense. Yeah, a thousand dollars is a lot of money. Maybe I could, I could pull off a thousand bucks fly. Maybe like continental United States fly someone in. I think I could afford that. It's like a two night stay at a hotel. I think I could afford that. That'd be like a thousand bucks. I don't know. I'm pricing it out of my head before it's even happening. My dose is all of a sudden very itchy. Let's see. What does my wife do? She is a counselor. So she does a lot of marriage counseling. So I have to be on my best behavior at all times because otherwise she'll therapize me and she'll be like, Alex, you know, when I talk to other couples who are going through something similar, here's the advice. I'm like, I'm like, Christine, I already know. You don't have to, you don't have to do that. And I cut her off. I say, I don't wanna hear that. And that's just what a good husband does, you know? I'm totally kidding. I'm just joking. Please don't take that seriously. But that is what she does for a living. Matthew asked, can I come to Charleston and mod the chat live? Now that's an idea. Have a live moderator. How would that work? Why would we need a moderator? He's like, guys, guys, we can't be talking about that topic. Can I fly someone abroad? I don't know. I don't even know if that's what we're gonna do. It's probably like one year away. I'm doing like 20,000 per month-ish right now, even like 20 to 25 somewhere there. So around this time next year, I think I'll hit a million if the data continues to trend accurately. Because I was hitting like a peak of like 30,000, like eight months ago. It slowly trickled down. Now we're doing like 20,000 a month, which is insane. Just absolutely nuts. And so that's a lot of subscribers. So 20,000 a month for 12 months, that's 240,000. So I could, hypothetically, right around this time next year, I could maybe be hitting a million. And we'll do something big for that. I'll be thinking about it. Power BI and Tableau, someone, Coreed, Coredo, Coreed, I don't know how to say that, said, please tell us about Power BI and Tableau. They're BI tools, they're great BI tools. That's true, you do look pretty close. I forgot where you lived though. Remind me where you, you don't have to, I'll just say your address and the, you know, just, you know. Pamela said a box of granola bars as a giveaway. Yes, my big giveaway, a million subscribers is a signed granola bar. That's a collector's item right there. That'll be worth big money in the future. Great idea Pamela, I love it. Someone said good husband, be like Alex. Oh boy. Oh boy. Well, thank you Phil Shakes. I really do appreciate that. Yeah, Columbia, South Carolina, that's not even two hours. That's like an hour and a half away. That's right. My brother lives out near Columbia. Go out there all the time. That's very cool. Let's see. Yeah, become a sports radio. So Chris Doulouis, frontinos said, hey Alex, really inspired from you. I'm a sports trader and now my goal is to become a sports data scientist. Greetings from Greece. That's fantastic. I know lots of sports data scientists. Ken G is one of them and through him I've met others. But sports data analysis, sports data science is actually a really, it's a growing field and now a lot of major league teams and the MLB, NFL, soccer are implementing their own data teams to collect data, analyze data and give feedback to the players. So that's gonna be a big field even in the future. Can we expect data engineering content? Funnily enough, I literally just talked with Ben Rogogen yesterday on the phone. We were just chatting. And if you don't know Ben and Jimyn Rogogen, he's Seattle data guy on YouTube. Go check him out. Some of the best data engineering content you're gonna find. Really good stuff. It has tons of tutorials and stuff. But I was telling Ben, I was like, you know, Ben, I find myself really loving data engineering. I like data analysis. It's my favorite thing. But I also love other things. Like I like creating pipelines and automations and like I really love these things. And so I do think I do find myself wanting to create some data engineering stuff in the future. Maybe even just more like analytics, how data analysts can step up their game and make themselves more useful even into like the data engineering space. I'm almost done creating one of my full courses for Analyst Build on Analyst Builder called Foundations of AWS and Azure for Data Analysis. Where we, in Azure and AWS, we use ETL tools. So, you know, Azure Data Factory, AWS Glue. In both of these, I go through how to create workflows, how to create pipelines, how to create automations. And so that touches into some of the data engineering stuff. Now, it doesn't go into creating schemas and models and some of these other things, but if you can learn how to create pipelines, even with tools like SSIS or Airflow or some other tools, if you can learn how to create pipelines, that makes you just, it broadens your scope of what you can do. And so you can specialize in analytics and do a little bit of engineering and you can call yourself an analytics engineer. That's a very popular title that's like really climbing, really getting really popular. TV show recommendations, sigh, great question. Surprisingly, I don't watch as much TV as I used to, but when I did watch TV, Parks and Recreation, The Office, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Mentalist, if you like crime shows, like The Mentalist, he's like a suit, he likes to just really observe and he's really smart. Monk is an older show, but one of my favorite detective shows of all time. There's so many I can name, but those are some of the ones that I really, really love. Am I gonna pick up my daughter? Yes, I will be picking up my daughter soon. I do need to leave probably, we'll probably end in like five minutes because I do need to go pick up my daughter. Let's see. Pranav Batra, are you getting my chats, Alex? I just saw this one. There's a lot of chats in here, so I miss them sometimes. Sean Ting, how do you go about structuring your processes for a data analyst project at work? Well, luckily, I've been very fortunate. I didn't have to do that because I had something called a project manager or a product manager, depending on the organization and I guess kind of what their exact thing is. We used to have a project manager, so for many years, the project manager would organize kind of our work and we'd come back and we'd say, oh, I gotta do this, they'd organize it on our workflow and they would do that. Now, before I had to do that, when I was at a small company, didn't have a project manager, it was just me and my boss. I mostly just wrote it down on sticky notes. I thought that was just my process. And now today, I mostly track everything in Excel. I don't use any fancy tool or app or anything, although maybe I should. But I use Excel, it works for me. And I'm used to it and I get it done really fast. You visit the country from which you have the most subscribers. Well, most of my subscribers are in America, so I'm already in America and that's kind of lame. So I don't wanna go, but I have a lot of subscribers in Africa, a lot of subscribers in Europe and in Canada. Those are probably my biggest areas. And then I have a bunch of the Philippines and some other locations and it's just awesome. I get messages, one of my favorite things is I get messages almost every single day from people around the world, everywhere. Therefore, I'm in Thailand, I'm in the Philippines, I'm in London, I'm in Amsterdam, I'm in this location and it's just wild. And the reach of the channel has gone far beyond anything I ever thought it would get to. And so I'm very, very, very grateful, very grateful. Let's see. Yeah, lots of places. All right, guys. I actually do have to get going. My daughter has dance, my other daughter has softball, so Christine has to do one and I have to do the other. Otherwise, I would stay in chat for like another hour. I've done that sometimes, I've done like two hour live streams, but I can't do it today. I also need to get this granola bar and drink some more water because I'm getting parched. And you guys don't want to hear me chew live because this mic is really sensitive. Wouldn't sound good, for real. Christodoulos Ferentinos, come and Greece mate, I'll host you in my Airbnb near Mount Olympus. Christo, shoot me a message, shoot me an email. My wife wants to go to Greece. So shoot me an email and I might take you up on that. I've been taking a big risk, but I'm willing to do it for Greece. All right, yeah, IRL live stream, maybe that's an idea for the million. I fly to New York, set up a live stream, you guys can, I don't know, I don't know what I'm talking about. But hey listen, if you guys have any ideas for the million subscriber thing, make it big, make it a big idea. I'll try to make it work. If it's expensive, I might try to get someone to sponsor it. Like I have a lot of connections with past sponsors, so maybe I get someone to sponsor the event. And so don't, you know, if budget's an issue, just think maybe Alex could get a sponsor. And if I can't then, like I won't do it. But thank you guys so much. Again, this live stream was just one of my goofy live streams for hitting a certain milestone with you guys. Did a giveaway, I did a song, if you didn't see the song, don't go back and watch it, it wasn't good. It was not good, just, but it was funny. At least I thought it was funny. So with all that being said, I can't thank you guys enough. The channel is still, I'm still putting out tons of content. I have a lot of stuff coming, different series on AWS, Azure, AI, getting jobs, interviewing, all this different stuff. And so I really hope it's valuable to you guys. And then in the future, I do plan on doing some, an R series, because I'm getting a lot better at R, kind of more in like the productionalized way, because I've used R for like small stuff, but it's not, didn't feel confident teaching it. But now I'm feeling a lot more confident. I'll do some data engineering stuff. I might do a series on Snowflake, Shiny, Cordo, which are different apps and tools that you can use. So I have a lot of content coming. And so I'm not slowing down. I just have more free stuff coming on the YouTube channel. And I hope that you guys find it really useful and helpful and I hope we can just keep growing the channel and yeah, you guys are amazing. You guys are absolutely amazing. So thank you guys so much for everything. I could not be here. I would not be here without you guys and I really owe you a lot. And so, you know, if you need me, shoot me a message on LinkedIn. That's where I answer most of the messages. You can send me an email, but I'm like, I used to be like 500 back and I'm like a thousand emails back. So maybe don't email me. But LinkedIn, Instagram are really great places to reach me, because I can respond quick. And that's it. That's all I got. So I hope you guys enjoyed it. Thank you guys so much for somebody's looking up the song. Yeah, it's like 20 minutes ago. But thank you guys so much for everything. And yeah, that's all I got. I was gonna, I don't know what else is gonna say. I was pausing to see if I had anything else to say. All right, I'm gonna stop the recording or stop the streaming. I'm gonna.
