So I'm really happy today Hey guys, if you don't if you haven't experienced a near-death situation, which I did in 2016 I had a nine-hour operation and I Didn't expect to come out of it. Of course the doctors said I would but I didn't expect to And I will say my chest was cracked all the way down It was for me Life-changing and I you know if you've had something like that in your life It makes you think a little differently. So I do think a little bit differently. Well, let's get to this YouTube stuff here. I want to want to go over that and then tomorrow I'm gonna help you guys who have not started who know some of this stuff who went through some of this training You haven't started next. I'm gonna tell you on your YouTube videos Make sure you put an in-screen in screens are so so important because On an in-screen it says to your viewer. Hey, you're done with this, but you're not done Okay, so you can put like videos in there. You can put like animations You know if you can have some type of call to action subscribe answer a poll You can even suggest a video which I often do I'll suggest the video that YouTube thinks they should suggest because YouTube knows these people better than me So I'll put that in there You can you can Select any of your videos if you want to pick a particular video you want them to watch after that you can do that But you got to have an in-screen guys if you want to keep the momentum going You want to keep your channel going you want to have an in-screen and the next thing I'm gonna tell you about which is Number two on our list today is video quality You you are not gonna have the best videos you've ever had when you first start Let's just get that out of the way. You're not gonna have great videos when you first start and that's okay Okay, I'm giving you permission not to have great videos. Let's see here tie-in Nelson says hey there What's going on tie-in good to see you? I hope everything's going well in your neck of the woods I hope everybody's healthy there. I know your kid was not feeling well, but hopefully is feeling better now So video quality This is one of the biggest excuses that people use in the beginning. They're like well I can't I don't have the most expensive camera So I can't shoot videos use your phone Okay, if you've got a phone you can shoot videos that doesn't mean that on down the road You don't want to try to make the video better and better and better and better And as you make money invest in your equipment guys. Don't just take money out of your business my business. I Take very little money out of I don't pay myself hardly anything I try to invest it all in the business so that that business keeps growing and growing and growing and then Whatever money I take out of it hardly affects it. It really doesn't I don't pay myself much money I don't spend much money. The only thing I really spend money on we've just built this house, which is really nice I like to travel because travel to me is experiences And that gets back to this video quality here the better the quality of the video Especially to do it a traveling video or something like that. It really helps. Okay When it comes to video quality a lot of excuses pop up Tons of excuses about the budget To simplify the dilemma. I recommend that you look at three different channels. Okay, and I'm gonna give you these three channels Now I think they're really pretty good. The first one is video influencers. Let me put this in here Check out the channel video influencers Okay, so that's a really good one Let's see tie in oh no tie and go a little bad news here I think I need meds for sinus infection. Unfortunately, Kyra still has a running nose. Oh, I'm sorry. She's not feeling good This bug sucks James says I'm a wise-ass New Yorker Who's Barun? It's that's right Savannah George. I keep forgetting you we talked about the restaurant everything Waffa is gray and gloomy. Oh, no, we're sunny and bright here today. It looks really good So what changes are you planning for the studio? I used to work for cardiac rehab for you zipper club guys Yeah, I rehab pretty good. I am up to 156 push-ups I work out four to five days a week and that doesn't mean I'm in great shape But I mean I do okay other channel I want to mention to you guys if you're trying to do better and I want you to put this I won't put this in here Check out the channel think media There you go and really in video influences and think media or two of the same thing and there's another one in here I want you to check out Check out the channel Justin Brown primal video Yeah, those are three good ones. Okay But you do want to strive to create good videos and one thing I will tell you is if you could shoot a 1080 HD video Try investing in a proper camera set up one down the road one down the road. It doesn't mean you've got to wait Okay, you could go ahead and start now, but try doing that And try to always have great video quality mine is not always perfect Today as I look on YouTube because I can see myself on YouTube here. It looks like it's pretty good It's not perfect, but you can see stuff the lighting is okay. So all in all I think it's viewable the sounds okay Next thing I'm going to talk about is video link and tomorrow at 10 o'clock. I'm going to tell you how to put all this together So whatever you're using for two camera shoot by the way do a little longer Between switching was getting motion sick with the rapid changes. Okay, I'll tell my video editor that thank you Paul I appreciate the input. I will certainly do that Matter of fact watch this ball watch this ball. I'm gonna go ahead and message him now Because Paul just said that look I do listen. I do listen. All right, Billy is my video editor. He is in the Philippines Let's see here Billy we've had some complaints that there's too much switching between zoom in and zoom out period make those periods a Little longer period Plus it's less work for you Period How's that? How's that Paul? I just send him a message. I just send him a message So, you know, I really appreciate input like that because you're kind enough to actually give me Critical input and I do appreciate that So you want to customize your video links for different target audiences? Excuse me it's advisable to have a long video and And it enhances the criteria of the audience retention if it's worthwhile Don't have a long video just to have a long video now I will tell you you can't do super short videos and make any money on YouTube not all the time Every now and then you could do some shorts if you want. I think today's video and audio is spot on. Thank you so much, Paul You're too good. Thank you Paul. Well, it's because you give me input, you know That's what helps a lot is people actually giving me input because I do listen to you But how you decide to do your video? Sigs a longer length or shorter length that's up to you But be honest, there's no real secret recipe to video links I will tell you that YouTube wants at least eight minutes to be able to put ads in there So if you want to generate income on ads, you're gonna have to go over eight minutes That's why I normally go 10 to 12 minutes on my pre-recorded ones now this live one I'm doing right now. We're gonna do about 30 minutes and we only have about 20 minutes left But I also want to share with you the story about last night, too We had this get together and it was residents for our neighborhood here And it was down at our clubhouse and I want to tell you how I handled it and how I handled it differently I want to get through this list first, but then I wanted I want to tell you what happened Which I think was pretty darn interesting so now What you decide on your video link shorter or longer to be honest, you know, like I said, there is no perfect link, okay? Try doing different video links see what your audience does track in your analytics Which video is performing well the longer one the shorter one But remember to get money on ads you're gonna have to go over eight minutes Above all make sure your channel has videos of all different links and tailored specifically to different types of audience Number nine Which is on my list of stuff. I was writing down, but really you're number three today Six seven eight nine. Oh, she your number four today Have a consistent upload guys be consistent people need consistency. That's why our human brain works that way We want consistency. We don't want things changing all the time And Paul gave a good example of that. He said we zoomed in and out too much And that that was just too much. Okay, we don't want that much change He wants slower change and I get it and I get it enough and you know, my my video editor tries really hard And I think he thinks that the more he does to a video the better it is and sometimes Just subtle changes is all you need to do at one point. He had the music too loud But overall he does a great job But he needs feedback too because when you're sitting there in the editing chair and you're doing this all day long Which he does with my videos It gets hard without any feedback and he wants to put a lot of effort into it and I appreciate that He does that but this consistency thing is so important guys have a consistent schedule now, you know For the past couple weeks. I've been live at 9 a.m. Monday through Friday and live at 10 a.m. On Saturday And that's what I've been doing. You need to do that on your channel You need to have a consistent upload in other words if you're gonna do three videos a week It's got to be on the same days. Okay, you can't do, you know Tuesday Wednesday and Friday on one week And then Monday Tuesday Wednesday in the next week. You can't do that You got to be consistent pick something that works, okay? And then also consistency one-on-a-time schedule do it at the same time even when we upload videos They're all uploaded at the same exact time Paul says I like Brian G. Johnson. I listen to him too. Here's a kind of In your face kind of stuff. They're a little bit different. They're little quirky. He's a quirky guy For video tips, he has a book geared towards video and is speaking at Vid Summit Yeah, he's a good guy. I like him. He's a nice guy. He's one of the older guys like us, right? Thank you video guy does excellent work overall. Thank you Paul. I appreciate that. He really tries hard He's been with me going on shoot two years. I guess just doing my videos So I really appreciate Billy. Hello Billy if you're watching this video and at some point you will Imagine if you uploaded seven videos every single day or once a week And then you don't upload a single video for the next five months This undoubtedly would drop your subscribers and audience engagement, okay? You would lose people if you do this even though you uploaded a lot of videos Yet it isn't mandatory to upload a video every single day. Not everyone is going to be Gary V You can't do what he does. I mean he's all over the place. There's no way I could compete with him I know it but at the same time as a creator you should be willing and persistent to upload a video at least Two or three times a week. That's what I think two or three times a week Some people get by with once a week some people even get by with once a month But the average person will not be able to if you don't if you excuse me If you fail to plan you're planning to fail. That was what Benjamin Franklin said You've got to plan this stuff guys. This cannot you can't wing a YouTube channel. It can't happen Hey, your video guy is doing a great job. I haven't noticed excessive zooming in and out. Thank you James I appreciate that. I think I think that's pretty good Now these are the ones that we upload during the week of Monday Wednesday Friday And I want to tell you this little get together. We had last night. I want to share that you know I want to make sure we have enough time. I think we do so far Now the next thing I want to tell you which I guess is number five on our list today is Really think about your first 15 seconds your first 15 seconds of your video is nothing but a spectacular Retention for viewers. Okay, if you don't do something in the first 15 seconds If you don't tell them something that they're gonna want to hear or stay for you're gonna lose them And if you lose them in the first 15 seconds, you'll never have completions of your videos Okay, so it's really really important and I like to actually tell them in the first 15 seconds What's gonna happen in the video? What are they gonna get in the video because if it's not something they want? I don't want them to hang around and get bored if it is something I do they want then I want them to know about it Okay, so they do stick around so that first 15 seconds what we're gonna be doing is we're gonna be telling them What's gonna happen? We're gonna define whether your audience will engage or not, okay? We're gonna define whether they're gonna watch to the end thus you want to make sure the first 15 seconds of your video is Nothing but spectacular. Okay, and you can do that really with enthusiasm and with information You can retain viewers by giving a video gist or showcase of your final outcome This will make people watch the entire video. So I'm gonna give you some guidelines to this Okay, a creative video intro should be less than six six seconds if you're gonna do this intro We just did another video intro and I kind of like it and we're gonna start using it And I don't think he's put on any of the new videos yet, but we just redid one of those introduce yourself if you want I think I was doing that too much, but if you're new you're gonna want to introduce yourself and let people know what you've done We sell survival food products. I sell courses online. I speak at events. I do consulting I do a lot of different things and sometimes I need to let people know that so that they know that I'm worth listening to Okay, if what I've got to say has any value Hopefully it does to you and it does only if you apply it and I'm gonna talk about that tomorrow, too Which is really important You see I have a message here. Okay, they actually censored you Paul because one word you put in there But I'll look at it I think the difference between you and Gary V is that your videos give practical advice and learning mode Gary R Seems angry and I can't say the word The same thing. Yes, he does he's mad if you don't work as hard as him And that's not for everybody Working that level and neglecting the rest of your life is not good for everybody. Not that it's not great for him It's just for him. If you haven't listened to Gary V, you'll see what I'm saying He's also known as the F guy because every other word is the F word I Believe that what I do could be perfect for your life or it may be too much or it may be too little I don't I don't dictate what you should do with your life and your time But I want you to take for me what does work for you and apply that and the stuff that doesn't work for you Leave it aside. Okay, leave it aside The other thing is, you know an answer to how your video is going to help the video or the viewer really important explain An existing problem and how the video is going to actually fix that problem for you if your video is a vlog Okay, then you can show Top glimpses of your video in the first 15 seconds of what they're going to see later on in the video if you're let's say it's a Travel video, maybe some of the places you saw or somebody you talked to or something crazy that happened Maybe if it's a cooking video, you show the final product in the beginning before you actually cook it You want to announce if you got any giveaways and he surprises anything? I give away a course and I have another course coming out that I'm gonna be doing a giveaway Like it personalize the video by using the word you in the video And if you notice I say you guys a lot or I say you a lot because I'm talking to one person now I understand there's more than one person here and they're gonna be more than one person watching this video However, I want you to understand that I care about you as an individual. I don't think of you guys as a group I think of you as an individual Personalize your video by using the word you the user should be able to connect with you Make sure everything you speak is genuinely out of the willingness to help viewers flourish Okay, it shouldn't be to get used up It should be to get them something and I can't remember who said it if I think it was Zig Ziglar If you help enough people get what they want, you will most certainly always get what you want You've got to help people out. You are a servant of other people if you're gonna be on social media Okay, you should be helping them To win viewers attention and engagement in an initial 15 seconds and for the rest of the video You need to craft valuable and ethical hooks Okay Now I have a valuable and ethical hook and it's about what happened last night at that social get together I'm getting ready to tell you about it. Can you Sample music for an intro want to use Tom Petty running down a dream was thinking 16 to 18 seconds Man, I don't use any copyrighted music Paul. I tell you YouTube has gotten so strict on that they can demonetize you easily so I don't use any copyrighted music I do use the music From a YouTube not YouTube Tube, buddy I have a link for Tube buddy down there if you sign up for Tube buddy You get some free music and you can use that it's on another site And I can't remember the name of the site, but you'll see it It's one of your assets and Tube buddy the other one I use is video blocks And I pay for video blocks, but within in bit within video blocks. There's a music section There's a sound effect section and I use that a lot. So that's something I use. Yeah, that was what size Ziggler said It was Ziggs mantra and yeah, it is to James and in the true I mean, you've got a few years on you I've got a few years on me if you were to told me that you know that I got to go around and help other People to get what I want, you know when I was 25. I would have said you're insane I want what I want. I want it all for me and I've changed over the years. I have changed a lot Let me get a sip here real quick. As a matter of fact, let me share a little side story with you I had a friend call me the other day and I say he's a friend I met him when I was 14 or 15 And I haven't seen him since I was 18 over the years. We've talked a little bit. We went to high school together Myself and him and a group of other people got into a lot of trouble. We went to a We lived in a very low-end neighborhood Everybody was getting arrested everybody was dealing in drugs and crime and all that. I was no better than any of them So I will share that with you But I hadn't seen him since I was 18 and low and behold He has a lake cabin house and he's done very well for himself. He owns a bunch of businesses now Multi-millionaire and he wants to get together for dinner. So tomorrow night. I'm gonna go see Pat I haven't seen Pat Since we were 18 years old, but during that it was so weird between that age of 14 15 and 18 We all became so close by other friend in that that Period of time lives in Memphis and he became a multi-millionaire. He's done very very well I went to his wedding in Vegas a few years ago and we talk usually weekly if not monthly For all these years and that is for what is that? 40 some odd years we've all known each other so it's kind of cool, but any I'm gonna go see him Yes, it does Paul. Let's see here for emails. Does Carter allow you to personalize the emails with first name? Yes matter of fact, Paul You can personalize by first name email address amount of money they spent Products they bought all kinds of different things. I mean, it's just it really is pretty phenomenal Cartier will let you do that and you can personalize all kinds of stuff in there Don't overdo it don't put their name in there like 10 times because then it's obvious But I oftentimes when you get an email from me, it'll say hey, and then we'll have your first name Now if you don't have the first name in the system, and I'm a little off track from YouTube I just want to hit this point here. It won't put anything there So it's not like, you know, it messes you up if you don't have their first name It just won't put anything there So anyhow, you have that Viewers continually find your videos interesting. They're more likely to tell their friends about it and hints Your fan base is gonna grow. I watch David Goggins probably every day. He does a video He normally does I think a one-minute video, but I've watched tons of other videos. He does And I tell everybody about David Goggins. I think he's an awesome guy I am not David Goggins David Goggins gets down and does 2000 push-ups when he does them I get down into 156 because that's for me, you know 2000 is not for me. I don't have five to six hours a day to work out and I don't care to you know My age I just don't care to that's his stick is that you know, he's like one of the toughest guys on the planet So that's what he has to do. I don't have to do that Next thing I'm gonna tell you is really important guys is your upload defaults. You may not know this exists But there's a section in your videos where you have upload defaults It's in your settings so that every time you upload a video all of these defaulted things these links these descriptions whatever can be on every single video and I use it because I have let's say affiliate links to YouTube and that type of stuff or maybe links to other videos I want people to see so I put them in there permanently so that every time I upload a video Those are automatically there and then above that will put the description and it saves you a ton of time guys So look for your upload defaults. You can find an area on YouTube matter of fact Maybe I'll do a video on doing upload defaults. That would be a good video for you guys to see I'll do one on that tie in says one thing I am wrapping my mind around is I don't need to be super old-time genius at the stuff No, you don't you just need to know a little bit more than the person that's watching. It's that you don't have to be an expert Just document my learning experience as I go. Yes, people love that people love watching somebody else learn That's a that's a very cool thing and very smart thing to do and tie in I want you to get started We're gonna talk about that tomorrow about how you can get started, okay? So and on this upload defaults guys All you got to do is go to your creator studio select the channel you want and then click on upload defaults It's really that simple and then you make sure that you know you do all your descriptions your tags your category Comments ratings video language all that kind of stuff you can set all of that in there when video descriptions They're just they're so crucial. Okay for your videos SEO But mentioning the same websites or social media details every single time can be tedious So that's why we use these upload defaults. That's why it's really important You just go to your creator studio channel upload defaults and you're going to be right there Sounds good once my voice is back will be starting Hey start before your voice is back and then you can say hey my voice is gonna ask me But I wanted to get started and I didn't want to wait because JR is pushing me to get started Maybe you can do that. Okay. Just get started because what happens is because your voice isn't perfect right now You're saying well, hey, I can't I can't do anything right now. My voice is not perfect It doesn't matter. I have done videos when I had a sore throat I've done videos when I was horse and people appreciate that they're like look. He's still doing his stuff He's still doing what he says he's gonna do so do it. Just go do it Last thing I'm gonna tell you about today's playlist and then I want to share that story with you about the meeting We had at the community center take action revise later. Yes 100% video playlist Playlist are super important guys. Let me explain how you this works You actually set up like this folder and you call it something so it could be Videos on SEO and every time you do a video that is related to SEO you throw it in this playlist, okay? So it's out there on its own and it's on this playlist now What happens is that generates to you are else instead of just one So you have double the chances of somebody watching that video now Here's the cool hat that video that is talking about SEO that may be talking about building a website, too You could have another playlist that is how to build websites and throw it in that playlist, too It could be in two or two or three or four playlist and every time you do that you generate another URL Which generates more SEO for that video? So you see how you can take one video and you can have it in several different places and Get more views for your channel. It's really pretty cool. So last night We had this get together and it was kind of funny because I've met one of my neighbors outside Of the community center We have these food trucks that show up and we were getting some food at a food truck My wife and I were there and he's actually my next door neighbor And he's a retired FBI agent. So that's that's who I have live in next door to me but he's a super nice guy and I said are you going to go to the Social tonight, you know, you have a couple you get a couple drinks and I had totally forgotten about it I guess I signed up for it You know a couple months ago. They sent me an email or something And if you sign up to get a couple drinks couple beers or glasses of wine or something and they didn't have the worst wine and beer I've ever seen but anyhow, so I said, you know, we we we're thinking about that So I got back to the house my wife and I and talking about it and I said, you know, we should go over To that social, you know, we haven't really we moved in the neighborhood a couple months ago We haven't really met that many people we should probably go over there and she's like well I don't look like good. I don't have a hair down my makeup done. I said it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter Let's just go over there now Number one when I was younger teenage, maybe early 20s I was so self-conscious about messing up about looking bad about You know being embarrassed about somebody making fun of me that I would avoid any chance of those things happening The way I would avoid it number one way is just don't go to stuff like that I mean if you don't go to stuff like that, you don't have to worry about it You don't have to get up tight. You don't have to you know be afraid of what's going to happen Okay So that was the first thing I would do it and then if I was forced to go to something like that I would just go stand in the corner somewhere and have my drink and wait two or three hours or however long it was And then get the heck out of there and not talk to anybody. Okay, that's what I would do. So I've changed over the years. I've changed a lot. I And it's funny and some of you guys on here who've got a few years only you will know as you get older You realize how little Importance it is what people think of you how little the importance is of what people feel about you And when you can drop that and you can go, you know what I'm just gonna relax and enjoy myself You can enjoy yourself a whole lot more. So when we got there We are a couple myself and my wife and everybody was broken off into different groups everywhere And you know, there was groups of four people there were groups of three people there were just couples that were together single people together and Looked around the room and I said everybody's here to meet everybody, but they're all broken up. They're all broken up They're all spread out everywhere. So I saw a couple that was way off in a corner. They were leaning on a railing Husband and wife that looked like they looked younger maybe in their 20s And they looked like they were nervous I mean they had like one arm crossed their body and their drink like this and they were kind of looking down You could tell they were the person I was when I was in my 20s or teens. I was scared Okay, they were scared. So I went right up to him and I said, hey great to meet you guys We're here to socialize. So that's what we should probably do. What's your name and what's your name? I'm JR. This is Jessica and they immediately you could see the pressure come off and they're like, oh, hey You know, this is Keith and this is myrna and they started to tell us about their lives and what was going on And we had a little interaction going there was four of us there. There was four of us there and then we saw another couple and I waved to them and I went like this and had them come over and they came up and it was Hector and his wife And then we all started talking. So now there's like six of us and about that time that neighbor I just told you about that FBI aging guy He walked up. He goes, what's going on JR because I had been talking to him I made it a point to talk to him and he's made it a point to talk to me. We're about the same age And now we've got what two four six seven people together and then off in a distance. I saw a young couple Looked like a nice young couple, but they were all alone. They had been alone for about a half hour Just talking to each other now. I know let me get my screen here back up. I know that they gained there to meet people You know why I know that because it was a social gathering But they weren't socializing Because they were at that stage I was when I was in my 20s and I worried about everything So I walked over to them and I said, hey, I'm JR. We've got a group of people here Nobody knows anybody and I want to invite you guys over because you're probably here to meet people too And you know meet in the neighborhood and they were like, oh my gosh, that's so nice of you Thank you so much and then they came over to our group So now we've got one of the largest groups Of the entire place and there's some groups with three people and four people and two people But we had like eight nine ten people together now And I can't do the math and we had some other people come up too The biggest group and where did that come from? That come from a little bit of action that came from me walking up to one couple Me walking up to another couple me having already associated with the neighbor All of these little efforts in life guys matter so much Now you may say to me, what did you get out of that? Well, I got out of the satisfaction of bringing some people together That that you know, that was really really cool And I don't want you to always think that if you do stuff you should get something out of it I want you to think that you shouldn't tomorrow I'm going to talk about this and how to get your youtube channel started But I want to Share with you these things because these are going to help you guys Let's see james green. How did you go from wallflower to super sales manager trainer nationwide? You know james, that's a long story, but I'll give you the short of it I was a used car manager at a car dealership and the general sales manager was going to retire now The general sales manager did all the sales meetings Uh, and I always stood off to the corner because I didn't want to speak in front of anybody Okay, I one on one I could talk with the sales people and do all that but I didn't want to talk to anybody Now he came to me and he says hey I'm leaving and I think you'd be perfect to take my job at this dealership and run the dealership And I was like, oh my god, that would be great and then it hit me Then it hit me. Oh my god. I have to do the sales meeting I have to stand up in front of 25 30 40 50 sales people And do a meeting and I got to do this every day I can't do that So I went home and I pondered this and I thought to myself. What am I going to do? What am I going to do my entire life? I mean even in high school? I wouldn't stand up and talk. I wouldn't do it. I was too shy to do it I avoided that but I knew that on the other side of being able to talk in front of all these people Was this great job where I'd make all this money And I rationalized with myself. I said well, you've got to get good at talking in front of people So I looked around and back then you had to like read books and stuff Okay, we didn't have the internet or any of that and I found a group called a toast masters international And toast masters international is where you go into a room and you talk in front of a group of people Where everybody's trying to learn how to talk and they grade you and every time you say um or ah or whatever They have these clickers and they click it every time you screw up. They go click click and you hear the whole room Go click click Every time you screw up So I would go to this meeting at six o'clock in the morning and I would practice speaking in front of people And I did this every single day up into the time that that manager retired And gave me his job and at that point I was ready to talk in front of these salespeople I had never done it before and I I started talking in front of these salespeople and I started really studying You know how to help people achieve their goals how to get people better at selling You know all the things that would help these salespeople out And I got better and better and better at it and out of that grew my own company Where I actually in this dealership was we were number one in the state of california We were a pricier dealership and number three in the united states We literally sold thousands of cars and thousands and thousands of them And I I did very well there And I broke off and I started my own training company and I ended up for the next eight or nine years I traveled around the united states and I trained Most of the top dealerships in america from the penske groups to Well, I mean just tons of my idol will list them all but a lot of car dealerships in the nation Most of the top dealerships And I made a lot of money doing it And I call it is another story as to why I quit doing that But that that one defining moment of I have to speak in front of people Turned into an entire new career for me So what I would tell you is these things that you fear these things that you're scared of These things that you've wanted to do your whole life, but you haven't I want you to do them now tomorrow I'm going to talk about how you can put this stuff into place I can't believe how long twist masters has been around The other thing good about a group like that is your Meeting go-getters well some some are some are scared to death just like I was At any event I attend my mind The strangers are visiting my home and I'm a host and I focus on spotlight when the other person because I'm a fan And social guy that's an awesome awesome way to look at it James.
