I went from making $300 the first year to $200,000 last year. I've been doing it part-time. It's important for me to have my son involved in this business. A rig like this would cost you about $65,000, $70,000. It's a dual moneymaker. You can pressure wash and you can clean trash cans. How much you want to hustle? Go in a neighborhood and look for dirty driveways and offer them a special to clean their driveway. That'll get your foot in the door.

Transcript
If you took anything away from the Kim Kardashian Alex Cooper call her daddy interview, it needs to be this one thing Okay, you need to become the master of lying and when I say lying I mean you need to become the master of self-preservation That entire interview if I'm gonna be honest with you guys and correct me in the comments if I'm wrong It gave us nothing All I know is that North and I guess the kids haven't seen Kanye in months in terms of like the juiciest details. But Kim Kardashian is a master conversationalist. She is masterly PR trained. And guess what? As a beautiful, successful woman, and I know whoever is watching this is also a beautiful and successful woman. You need to learn how to lie like that. Okay. It is literally about self-preservation. You need to be able to be able to speak to people that are asking these evasive questions that are trying to get tea from you and deflecting it. That was a master class of deflection. And correct me in the comments if I'm wrong, but literally when I was watching that, I was like, wow, Kim, you gave us nothing in the best way possible. like I'm not saying this as a dick at all Kim Kardashian is one of the most brilliant marketing master watching that I was like wow Kim you gave us nothing in the best way possible like I'm not saying this as a dick at all Kim Kardashian is one of the most brilliant marketing masterminds of our generation whether you want to believe it or not whether you like her or not they crack the code they crack the formula and you need to be able like the bible says confuse the enemy you need to be able to stand in the face of the enemy and confuse them just like that. She talked for an hour straight of nothing. She gave us absolutely nothing perfectly. And if you are a pretty woman, a successful one, if you're someone who automatically gets, you know, the attention, you walk into the room and the eyes are on you, the evil eyes on you, people are naturally trying to pick you apart or get information from you, you need to master this. You need to be a master at this.

Whether you are a Christian or not, I need you to watch this video to the end. Don't skip it, don't worry, just take the message from it and you can apply it in whatever you want to apply it. If you do not watch another video today, make sure that you watch this video from the start to the end. It's going to be a very lengthy video, but I want you to save it. If you can't watch it immediately, save it and come back to it later. This message is for somebody. It's for somebody. It's on a topic I had spoken about before. But this night I got a deeper understanding and insight. Before we go, let's say a quick prayer. Because I need your mind to understand what I'm about to say. So in the name of Jesus, Father, give your children understanding. Let their understanding be flooded with light. Let them understand what I'm about to say give me all trance i want to say this in one go and say the way you want your children to hear and how you can bless them in jesus name amen so i had to make this prayer on camera because i always pray before my content but this particular prayer is for you so as you're watching this video let your mind be open please this video is continuing from talking up when i said if you're not speaking over your life somebody else is speaking over your life words are very powerful and it might be something that was said to you that is keeping you where you are that sometimes i've tried everything humanly possible but it just feels like life is not going the direction where you want life to go. Right? Something has been said that is walking against you. That you might not be aware of. Right? But you can see pressures. We are praying to God. Everything is, you know, we are free and we are all free. But you need to renew your mind. and the way you renew your mind is by speaking the word of God. You don't change bad thoughts. You don't change negative thoughts with positive thoughts you change negative thoughts and negative words with the word of god so you're going to use your mouth and speak the things that are going to happen in your life so when you accept christ you become free a new creature all things are passed away yes however you need to use your mouth to declare that word of god has been given to you so that the years of programming and conditioning you can start becoming a new person here that is in crisis a new man but i'm not here to preach to you i'm just here to give you insight now why are words powerful if we look at the thread from the bible it all started with the word he said in john john 1 verse 1 think, in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God.

You need to take your life way more seriously than you already are. You repost about becoming rich, you claim that you want a fast car, you claim that you want to retire your parents and yourself, and you do absolutely nothing to fix it. You don't work out, you don't try in school, you just hang around friends and do absolutely nothing and play video games. And forgive me if I sound like a course seller. Until I was 18 years old, I played video games for 8-10 hours a day. I would skip school, I would never do any of my schoolwork, and I would never take my life seriously. And as a direct result, my friends, my family, my peers, they never respected me. And at some point when I was 18, I went through a any of my schoolwork, and I would never take my life seriously. And as a direct result, my friends, my family, my peers, they never respected me. And at some point when I was 18, I went through a series of negative events that shaped me and humbled me into the person that I am today. I started working out, taking my diet seriously. I started working, started investing, became a personal trainer, became a real estate agent, and now I'm in startups. and now I'm in San Francisco building my own company.

Transcript
That Lemmy ad was exactly what I mean when I say the Kardashians are the masters of capitalizing off of people's attention, whether good or bad. And let me know in the comments if you guys agree or disagree. But I just saw the Lemmy ad that Kim dropped on her page, which was very strategical. And I really love that because guess what? We have all been talking about what? Kourtney. Kourtney not wanting to wear heels, corsets, dresses, just basically her dressing up. And obviously the Internet, myself included, we've been having a discourse about this. Right. So our attention is already on the Kardashians. So what are they going to do? They're going to capitalize on our attention. They know that the Internet has chosen sides. Right. I told you any time you are in any type of like social media group or family, people are going to have favorites. People are going to say, oh, I'm more like Kim or Courtney. They're going to basically make you into a character in their mind. But at the end of the day, these are people. These are sisters. OK. And so what they did is they capitalized on our narrative, the storyline that we have been spending. OK. They took that. let me add address the team address the shade Courtney was dolled up to the god she looked good okay and not only that, guys, Kim was actually acting her ass off. And let me know in the comments what you guys think. But I don't know. I think the acting classes are paying off. I'm actually really excited too, because today is November 4. Okay. Meaning that her new show all is fair or all's fair is coming out and i'm actually going to be tapped in and watching because now i'm interested and this is why i tell you guys if you're someone who's trying to be an influencer celebrity whatever study the kardashians whether you love them or you hate them they know what they're doing and they know how to capitalize on people's attention

Hi guys, we have a new member of our team. Meet Sarah. She's our new bytecode cleanup specialist. Hi guys. Uh, hi there. So, wait, so what does that even mean? Just somebody to redo whatever Josh does? Why are you pointing that at me? You know why. And just when you think you've seen everything in tech, this company goes and hires a person whose entire job is to undo everything another person does. Yo, just pushed a tiny update to prod. Don't worry, told AI to make it scalable this time. And of course, as always, make no mistakes. Sarah. On it. Yeah, I'm not sure if the company knows this or not, but I don't think Josh knows how to code at all. Like, I only started here three days ago, and it's already really obvious. So, how long has Josh been working here? It's long enough to ruin about ten of my weekends, is what I'd say. And do you remember what his background is at all? Like, are we sure he knows how to code? You know, I've technically been doing this new cleanup role for like 11 months now. Cleaning up all of Josh's nonsense commits. I haven't been paid a cent extra. Am I resentful about that? No, not at all. Wait, what are you doing? Are you trying to clean up his AI slot by dropping it into AI? Don't scream that out loud. I was just trying to see what it thought about the code snippet having better results. I know we're like four weeks away from hiring a vibe coding cleanup coding cleanup fixer.

I'm putting 7-Eleven out of business. So guys, it's Rico the Snack King, and I got a brand new vending machine that I'm putting in this building, and the workers told me that they go to 7-Eleven literally every single day. So guys, after the owner agreed I could put my vending machine in the building, I had it delivered directly there. Now, the moment I got there, it was already being placed where the owner wanted it. So now all I had to do was sign it off and we were good to go. I ended up unpacking the vending machine real quick and oh, it looks so clean. So after I plugged it in, I set it up, it was ready to go. I didn't need the snacks to fill it up. So I went to Sam's club with my boy and we ended up choosing some fire snacks and drinks i got spicy chips cookies honey bun chocolate doc hot fries a little bag of hot cheetos and for the drinks i got energy drinks like red bull and celsius coconut waters, and I felt like we were good to go. Now, we took it to the checkout, and I want you guys to guess how much I spent before I tell you. Did you guess? I spent literally $600 on this entire restock. Now, the hardest part was putting the snacks on the truck and taking them down once I got to the building where I was going to put them in my vending machine. But I'm going to gatekeep follow for part two when I pack my machine.

Caroline, we have to let you go. We found out that you have three jobs. Yeah, so I do have three jobs, but everything's fine because I attend all my Zoom meetings. The main concern here is that corporate policy requires a full transparent fee and that no conflicts of interest arise. Wait, that makes no sense. I am very organized. I take all of my notes. It's on minutes. So everything's very organized and I never miss a deadline. I understand you're juggling a lot, Caroline, but it's a matter of company policy and the expectations we have for commitment. It's not just about attendance, but also about transparency and trust. I'm able to attend everything, and I have all my notes. That's proof that I can juggle everything. We have to consider the bigger picture. It's not just about the meetings, but also about maintaining trust and avoiding conflicts of interest. Okay, but my other jobs literally don't have any conflict of interest with this job I have currently. I need to talk to someone else about this because I don't think this is fair at all. You're welcome to speak with HR or even higher management to review the situation. I will do that. Have a good day.

Let's go over how much I made in the month of October as a stay-at-home mom with random little side hustles. I started with zero followers. These are, in my opinion, pretty darn easy side hustles that, like I said, almost anyone could do. I'm not talking about digital marketing or reselling a course or dropshipping or anything like that. These are just simple, legit side hustles that I do. First up is affiliate marketing. this is whenever i have like a software or a program or anything that i recommend to other people if they purchase i get a small commission and that made me $802. And we have mystery shopping, which is where I get paid to go into establishments and basically review like their customer service. Get like their names, see how they did, if the restaurant's clean, all fun things like that. They have online shops too. And then I also earn a small affiliate commission whenever I recommend the course that I took. and that made me $1,476. Now one of my all-time favorite things that I do that makes me the most money usually is Amazon reviews where I make review videos on products sitting around my house or products that sellers have sent to me and I just make sample review videos literally just sitting in front of my phone like this and I upload them to Amazon. I don't have to share any of these to social media if I don't want to and that made me $2,434 directly from videos that live on Amazon. So I did not have to use any social media at all to make almost $2,000 which still blows my mind. Like I said Amazon sellers will send me free products to review so I always I never have a shortage of things to review. A of those free products I don't really need so I resell them on Facebook marketplace my husband does help me here with this one a little bit but that one made me $1,235 last but not least we have TikTok shop which is basically TikTok shop products if I find a product and I make a simple little video talking about it and someone buys through that video then I get a small commission so that made me $2,036. So that brings my grand total in the month of October as a stay-at-home mom to $7,983 which still literally blows my mind. I've got three kids three and under. 90% of the time when I'm working my kids are either watching tv or eating snacks or taking a nap and i do sometimes stay up a little later than i probably should but it's clearly worth it if any of these sound interesting or like something you might want to try out comment any of these words and i'll send you a link to the training that'll walk you through how to get started with each of these

Transcript
I got rich off selling snacks in school and instead of wasting that money on done stuff, I actually invested in myself. Now I knew I couldn't sell snacks forever, so I was thinking what I was going to do after high school and I planned on not going to college. So during high school, I tested a bunch of different side hustles to see if anything caught on and gained traction. And on top of that, I was stacking up the cash because I was selling snacks every single day. So besides my first business, which was selling snacks, I started washing trash cans. It was going pretty good. I had a few clients and I was washing their trash cans pretty frequently. But I began to ask myself, did I really want to wash trash cans. It was going pretty good. I had a few clients and I was washing their trash cans pretty frequently. But I began to ask myself, did I really want to wash trash cans the rest of my life? And the money wasn't even that great. So I decided I was going to start reselling. So I ended up getting some AirPods and some speakers and I started flipping them. I got a few sales and stuff like that, but to me, it didn't feel ethical. So I can't run out also. I started the taco business with my dad So we were doing that every weekend and I was bringing in extra cash and later. I finally got my dream vending machine I started doing it business with my dad. So we were doing that every weekend and I was bringing in extra cash. And later I finally got my dream vending machine. I started doing it. I was super excited. I bought a bunch of snacks. You guys seen my entire journey, but I ended up getting kicked out of the building and I just decided to sell the vending machine and start up. And this is where we're at on the journey. I've been on so many different adventures And right now I'm still seeing what I'm gonna do. Call me any side of the site.

On November 28, 1987, South African Airways Flight 295 — a Boeing 747 named Held...
Transcript
A South African Airways 747 flies from Taiwan back home to South Africa. The plane is a modified 747, known as a combi, short for combination. A passenger plane and a cargo plane in one, it's designed to accommodate flexible quantities of passengers and cargo. The combi has a large cargo area down below, like a regular 747. The combi also has a large cargo area right behind the last row of economy class seats. The cockpit sits one level above the cabin. Flight 295 is carrying 159 people as well as six large pallets of cargo. Known as the Helderberg, the 747 Kombi is a vital member of the South African Airways fleet. It's particularly useful for long-range flying. To protest South Africa's white racist regime, the vast majority of black African states refused to allow South African Airlines to fly over their airspace, causing them to fly longer routes. On flight 295, less than an hour before its stop in Mauritius, the smoke alarm breaks the calm of the cockpit. It's for the cargo area on the main deck, behind the passengers. By the time the crew gets to it the fire is raging. In fire emergencies the crew follows a standard checklist to extinguish the fire. The fire is burning through the planes wiring causing short circuits but there's a more immediate problem. Passengers are having trouble breathing. The fire checklist instructs the pilot to land at the nearest airport, but the closest one is on the island of Mauritius, still more than 300 kilometers away. Captain Ace initiates an emergency descent. He calls the airport on the island of Mauritius, which is on good terms with South Africa. It's just before four in the morning when Mauritius Air Traffic Control receives the call. Captain Ace sounds calm, but he has to find a way of getting rid of the smoke on his plane. Whatever's burning in the cargo hold is producing thick, noxious smoke which is pouring into the cabin. It could be deadly to the passengers. Captain Ace is losing power to many of his instruments. He's not sure where he is. The airport prepares for an emergency landing, while the crew of the Helderberg follows instructions from another checklist to get rid of the smoke. The crew gets more bad news from the cabin. The smoke is getting thicker. With the plane approaching an altitude of 4,500 meters, the checklist advises the captain to execute an emergency maneuver that few pilots have ever performed. Opening the plane's doors in midair is the only hope for thinning a cloud of smoke that could kill the passengers.
