Waching daily Apr 11 2017

Hey, it's Marie Forleo and you are watching MarieTV, the place to be to create a business

and life you love. If you or anyone you love ever suffers from stress or anxiety or depression

and you want a science-backed, holistic approach to reclaim your health on every level, this

episode is for you.

Dr. Kelly Brogan is a Manhattan based holistic women's health psychiatrist and mother of

two. She's the author of A Mind of Your Own and coeditor of the landmark textbook

Integrative Therapies for Depression. She graduated from Cornell University Medical

College, completed her psychiatric training and fellowship at NYU Medical Center, and

has a BS from MIT in Systems Neuroscience. Kelly helps women break down the misconceptions

of an outdated and broken healthcare system that's keeping them sick, confused, and

dependent by giving them the tools to become a happier, healthier person. She's board

certified in psychiatry, psychosomatic medicine, and integrative holistic medicine, and is

specialized in a root cause resolution approach to psychiatric syndromes and symptoms.

Kelly, thank you so much for coming on the show.

I'm so excited to be here. Thank you for having me.

So I wanted to frame this conversation from a few different viewpoints. One, we're gonna

talk about depression but I feel like everything that you teach about, that you write about,

that you speak about also applies if we're feeling fatigued or stressed or that we just

have a foggy brain. Is that accurate?

Yeah. Struggling basically.

And then the second thing, obviously your book – it's aimed at women. But for all

of our fellows in the audience, everything we're gonna talk about today is equally

as applicable to men as it is to women. Yeah?

Yes. You can ignore the pink cover. It's true. It's true.

So you say depression is one of the most grossly misdiagnosed and mistreated conditions today,

especially among women. That 1 in 7 are medicated. And you also say depression is a gift and

that we should thank our bodies for giving us this signal. What does that mean?

Yeah. So the first, most important premise is to understand what I learned after going

back into the literature, you know, learning a certain story about depression from my training

as a conventional psychiatrist. I had to unlearn a lot of that to get at the truth of what

it is. And, in fact, it's not a disease. Not a disease in the way we think of diseases

as being something you inherit, something that's understood in terms of the bodily

biology, and then something that requires, you know, really only one path of treatment:

lifelong chemical prescriptions. Right?

So depression is a diagnosis made through a conversation like this. It's really like

a collection of symptoms and in many ways it's like a syndrome. So if you look at

it that way, then you can understand that it has many different potential drivers. Right?

There are many paths to it. So it's sort of like if your toe hurts it could hurt because

you dropped a hammer on it, because you have an infection in your toenail, because you

have a string tied around it too tight. And the hurting is just an expression on your

body's part that something's up. Right? It's asking for your attention.

And so, you know, through my research I've understood and clinical experience that there

are many, many reversible, if not all reversible, causes of depression or ways to move through

it, you know, as a healing journey. And you have to understand what is driving it in your

particular case to understand how you could possibly reverse it.

And I think something about seeing it as a gift, not that you're…

It's provocative. I know.

Not that you're broken. Not that there's something inherently wrong with you or that

you necessarily have to carry this with you forever more for the rest of your life. I

think that was something that really hit home for me because there's so much shame if

you feel depressed, or at least there can be. And I love that reframing that … no,

no, no. This can be a gift, not only to wake up to something that you can heal, but also

to a process of transformation.

Absolutely. I mean, it's become my belief that the body is one of the most sophisticated,

you know, mechanisms on the planet. And we are just beginning to look through the keyhole

of how it does what it does. And so it doesn't really make mistakes. Any time you have a

symptom, anything from a sore throat to a headache to something like, you know, mania,

it's actually an expression on the part of the body. It's attempting to get your

attention so that you can look at different areas of imbalance in your life. And those

can be nutritional, you know, they can be environmental, or they can be psychospiritual.

And when you begin to attend to that area, things will shift and change. And in this

way, you know, depression or really all mental illness from my perspective, it's the beginning

of your next chapter if you pay attention to it. And sometimes, you know, we can look

at choosing to medicate it as potentially opting out of your own journey. And it's

a very different perspective, but I see every single day in my practice what it is to move

through the experience of struggling, pain, grief, suffering rather than attempting to

stuff it in a box.

So you wrote, "Not a single study has proven that depression is caused by a chemical imbalance

in the brain. And depression is not about the brain per se." I'm curious, what are

some of the primary triggers?

Yeah. So I think there are probably four or so very common ones that are highly, highly

treatable. Really quite easy to reverse. And many of them have, you know, in common that

they, you know, relate to the body's language of distress or rebalancing, which is inflammation.

This is kind of a buzzword and for a reason. Because all of the diseases, so to speak,

of modern civilization whether it's autoimmunity or cancer or heart disease or diabetes – and

I am trying to include all mental illnesses under this umbrella – often relate, if not

always relate on some level, to the activation of this system for rebalancing, which is the

inflammatory system. It's the immune system. It's the way, again, that our body attempts

to adapt to a given trigger. And that trigger can be stress related. You know, you can feel

psychological stress and actually have mobilization of inflammatory messengers from the rest of

your body. Or you can eat something, you know, that disturbs your gut balance that then drives

inflammation from your gut to your brain. So there are many, many different pathways.

But most of the interventions are really quite similar. So that's why I love what I do

because it's really quite easy. You know, relative to the complexities of pharmacology.

You can meet the body with a set of very powerful, elegant tools that really put everything into

balance.

So it's sometimes interesting just to think about what's driving it even if the intervention

is the same. So one of the most common ones is blood sugar imbalance. I treat women in

my practice and I would say the vast majority, if not all of them, struggle with some degree

of blood sugar imbalance. And, again, there's nothing wrong with the body's response.

When you eat a bagel and your blood sugar skyrockets, your insulin is secreted like

a tidal wave to suppress that blood sugar, and then you're dipping low and an hour

and a half later you're hangry. Right? You're starving, you're irritable, even jittery,

headachey. I've had patients who have had frank panic attacks because of this process.

Your body is not messing up. It's meeting an unnatural demand in the way that it knows

how. It's attempting to alert you to the fact that you probably shouldn't be consuming

that if you want to, you know, reinforce the best gene expression, so to speak, in all

of your different systems.

So blood sugar imbalance can account for things like fogginess, insomnia, you know, you could

land a diagnosis of ADHD because of it or all types of anxiety, flatness. And it is

so simple to resolve, even sometimes in 10 days to two weeks with a high in natural fat

diet.

Relatedly, there are a number of food-based triggers that are almost always processed

foods that I've come to see as really powerful leverage points, like sort of game changers.

And I would say the top two ones are wheat and dairy. So like the best foods. Basically

the things that taste the best, you know, the things that you feel like I'm gonna

have to rip out of your cold, dead hands. You know? Because they're … some people

think like, "Well, I'd rather be depressed than not eat pizza." Or some people think

like, "I don't know what I would be eating if I didn't eat wheat and dairy." And almost

always I get excited by that because the change that could come from that type of a relationship

when adjusted is profound.

I mean, there are reports in the medical literature very recently, a 37 year old woman who was

so psychotic that her family took out a restraining order on her. She became homeless. They treated

her with all sorts of medication that was ineffective. They ultimately found out that

she had wheat sensitivity, put her on a gluten free diet for three months, she was totally

normal. Totally back to her normal self.

And so this is not just about weight loss or a wellness fad. It's a very real driver

of what we are calling mental illness. And it's an experiment you can do on your own.

You know? There's so much information out there on how to eliminate wheat and, you know,

processed dairy that it's really quite easy to do and can be a massive game changer. Again,

not just for your psychiatric symptoms, but the potential side benefits are really, you

know, could be a long list.

So another area I focus a lot on is medications. Because when I began to research, you know,

sort of a broader truth about psychiatric medications I left no stone unturned. So I

looked at all the medications I used to take: birth control, Tylenol, Advil, antibiotics.

And I began to understand that some of these very, very common medications have untold

psychiatric side effects. You know?

So you could be, for example, eating a bit of the wrong diet and taking, let's say,

an acid blocker because you get indigestion every time you have dinner. And over time,

you know, those medications are now over the counter and they're only ever studied for

six weeks of use. So let's say it's been two years you've been taking this acid blocker,

you develop well documented B12 deficiency. Again, B12 deficiency, in and of itself, can

drive not only catastrophic depression but also dementia. I mean, this is, again, not

like a minor, you know, side effect.

And so this cascade of medication, side effects leading to psychiatric medication prescribing,

is something that it might be hard to connect those dots if you're not aware that it's

even possible. Right?

Birth control is a big one. You know, I took birth control for 12 years. I thought it was

a feminist entitlement, you know, for me to be able to get my period when I felt like

getting it. And, again, the idea is a very valuable one, but in practice I think women

are really being victimized by this medication, because there is literature to support the

fact that it's proinflammatory, it induces nutrient depletion, and it can lead directly

to psychiatric prescribing. I mean, there was just a million person study completed

over 13 years showing that teens who are prescribed birth control have an 80% increased risk of

being prescribed an antidepressant.

It was very true, actually, for me in my early 20s when I had to get off of it immediately.

Yes, sometimes it's very clear.

It was so clear … I felt like a different human being.

But, see, you should thank yourself.

I totally did. I was like this is not working.

Because when you have those extreme reactions, that's where the gift is because if it was

a subtle thing, you know, you could've gone five, ten, fifteen years on this medication

that was subtly changing your biochemistry, subtly changing your personality even.

That's how it felt, actually.

And your whole path could've been derailed.

Yeah. Very, very different. One of the things that I appreciated in your book: you shared

we've reached a point in our evolution where our health is being outpaced by our lifestyles

and how we're biologically designed to live. And there were three points and I thought

these were so simple and yet so profound.

We're idle when our bodies want to move, we eat unrecognizable foods, and we expose

ourselves to environmental factors that assault our cells. It is extraordinary to me how true

this is and how so many of us, millions of us, are just … we're stuck behind our

desks, we're staring at computers, we have electronics with us all the time, and it's

nearly impossible to get us to move.

You know, whenever I talk with my family or with close friends and I'm like, "We need

to take a walk. We need to get you walking." And I even have to say this to myself because

I can fall that easy victim to that as well when the pressures get too high. Is this something

... are these kind of the three factors that you see so much when people come into your

practice?

Absolutely. And, you know, it's almost like we're being reminded. That's why I talk

about, you know, depression as being a gift. Because we're being reminded of something

we've forgotten. And in the medical literature it's actually termed evolutionary mismatch.

You know, these illnesses like depression that are skyrocketing in incidence, part of

the reason is because we are living in a way that we have not evolved to live. And so the

body is basically screaming, you know, "get back to basics."

There's a really powerful book from the 70's called The Continuum Concept and it's

this idea that we have evolved. Like this, again, very elegant organism, to expect a

certain set of exposures from birth. You know, from birth all the way through infancy through

the rest of our lives. And when we depart from, that we're gonna be called back. And

the way that we're called back to that continuum is really through these kinds of symptoms.

And that's why anyone who has recovered themselves, you know, I've put an autoimmune

thyroid condition into remission, which was really my entry point into all of these principles.

Anyone who has recovered themselves and defied conventional medical odds has done so by just

getting back to basics. And it's like they just awaken to the simplicity of it. But often

we need a bit of fear, you know, we need a bit of struggle. Sometimes you really need

to hit a rock bottom or go through a dark night of the soul to be really awakened to

what is possible if we just begin to live the way we're meant to live.

And that's through moving, through sun exposure, through honoring our sleep cycles and daily

rhythms. For women it's relating better to your hormonal existence as a cyclical process.

And, of course, I feel most importantly, it's working with food as information. Right?

Food is not what, you know, sometimes it still is to me, which is just a way to make myself

not hungry anymore. You know? Get it done in seven minutes. That's all I have time

for. It's a way to bridge your body and the environment that you're a part of. It's

an informational exchange. And when we forget that, we're gonna be reminded.

What are, for anyone listening saying, "Okay, this sounds incredible. I'm in. Wanna get

the book. Wanna start cleaning this." What are some of the everyday triggers that might

be hiding in their medicine cabinet or their kitchen or underneath their sink in their

cleaning materials that may be contributors to them not feeling their best?

Yeah. So I often say start with changing your breakfast. And it's so funny because I love

to write and I blog a lot, right? And sometimes I'll spend three months on one blog. All

of the links to the primary literature and I spend all of this time and effort on it.

Blood, sweat, and tears. And two people read it.

And then I wrote this blog about what I eat for breakfast. What I discovered through my

own healing journey was something really … a powerful way to reverse my own blood sugar

issues. And it is hands down the most viral post I've ever … it took me seven minutes

to write it. Literally.

Isn't that funny though?

It's like this smoothie recipe that I made up. So it's … so, for example, it's

made with egg yolks, with coconut oil, with nut butter, with ghee, which is like a clarified

butter that doesn't have the protein we're most concerned about when it comes to sort

of brain behavioral, cognition types of concerns. And then it's coconut water, cocoa powder,

and then any kind of fruit you like. So I use frozen cherries. It tastes like chocolate

milk, it's totally delicious. And I went from being starving after eating cereal or,

you know, like some kind of a processed bar or a bagel. Starving in an hour and a half

that now if I don't have lunch for 6, 6 and a half hours, it's totally comfortable.

So that is one of the simple ways to begin to see how your entire performance in your

life can change based on what you ate for breakfast.

So I've really developed a pretty strong concern about most medications. I also think

there's a better way. So when you engage in a medication intervention, not only are

you opting out of that invitation, right? So you're not going to learn that the reason

you have headaches is because, you know, of your blood sugar imbalance or because of your

wheat sensitivity or because of another medication you're taking. You're never gonna learn

that.

So in that way, you know, it's sort of like if you were to take a Tylenol for a piece

of glass in your foot. Like, don't you just want to get the glass out? It makes more sense,

right? So while I have concern about the opt-out that happens when you choose to take a medication,

I also have concern about sometimes the potentially quite significant side effects that no one

told you were even possible.

So, again, the common ones that I highlight are, you know, common painkillers. I mean,

there was a recent study out that showed that Tylenol actually has emotional numbing effects.

How would you ever connect those dots if you didn't know that the scientific literature

was suggesting that it doesn't just do this one little thing it says it does? You know,

with pharmaceutical medicine we're sort of under the impression we can just pull one

little piece of the spiderweb and leave the whole thing intact. But, of course, the whole

thing moves when you pull a little piece of it. Right?

I think we're starting to wake up to that, especially for anyone who ever sees the pharmaceutical

ads on tv. And you see the happy little purple person and then the list of potential side

effects, it's like …

And those aren't even the whole story.

… you may want to kill yourself and then kill your entire family and then you're

gonna have hotdog fingers and projectile vomiting possibly, and then 15 other things. And sometimes

I will sit there with my jaw on the ground saying, "how is this legal?"

I know. I know. Well, it's that we all have colluded. We all have. It's not just pharma,

it's not just doctors. It's all of us. Because we go to our doctors and we ask for

the quick fix. You know, we ask for the magic pill. And what I've really come to discover

is – there's no such thing. There really is no such thing. That medications over promise,

they underdeliver, and there's often an untold story about their potential side effects

and there's an easier way. It may seem more challenging because it involves behavioral

change, but it's uncomfortable for maybe two weeks. And then what is possible is so

thrilling. I mean, it's really profound.

Yeah. That has been something very personal for me. A few years ago we were struggling

because my dad with type 2 diabetes.

Yes.

And got him off of all but one of his medications. And that was a really, really big deal. And

so now I'm constantly hawkish with them. They just recently moved, my dad is going

to a new doctors, and my mom had stepped in because the doctor was trying to push more

medications on him. And I was like, "Nuh-uh. No. We're not going there again. What do

we need to reexamine in the diet and lifestyle that we need to pump back up so he's not

going back?"

That's the thing. I mean, you know more than that doctor does arguably. Because I

had the same training that doctor did in medical school. We have about an hour on average of

nutrition-based education in medical school. Your doctor is unfortunately totally ill equipped

to help. And they want to help, but the only tools that we're given are pharmaceutical

tools. So that's what's amazing about the internet. You know? Is that the average

lay person knows more about how to heal than a conventionally trained doctor.

And so my sort of mark of success in my practice is for my patients never to see a doctor again.

Including me. And I think that's absolutely possible when you shift your mindset and begin

to trust that everything you encounter is, again, a message you probably need to work

with and that you always have the tools. That's why I'm really, really passionate about

this 30 day intervention. And I rule with a bit of an iron fist because I think that

every adult deserves one month of their life to learn about the relationship to their diet.

And you have that information forever. You can do with it what you want to. Right?

So in that month I asked people to take out coffee. So I practice in New York.

Yeah.

This is a big challenge. Coffee, alcohol is often an even bigger ask. Even for people

who don't think of themselves as having a problem with alcohol. I ask them to take out

all grains just to make it almost simple, but also because certain grains we want to

use strategically. Things like rice get introduced again later because they have a very special,

you know, rice has a special property in terms of seeding your gut in a good way. But we

want to sort of clear the slate before we do that. So all grains, all dairy, all sugar.

And we're really left, people sort of say well …

What am I gonna eat?

But actually you're just eating food. Right? So my protocol, somewhat controversially – including

to myself because I was a former ethical vegetarian. Of course, back in the day that meant like

Doritos and Pepsi. But nonetheless, I had a lot of struggle ethically with the idea

of progressing to a healing diet that involved animal food. And my protocol not only involves

animal food but actually red meat specifically.

So we're eating animal food, we're eating eggs, we're eating fish, poultry, red meat,

pork, the whole thing. And then all vegetables are on board, as should be the case for pretty

much any nutritional protocol you're engaging. But including starchy ones like sweet potato.

And then we're gonna eat nuts and seeds and a lot of oil. So those oils in the smoothie

I mentioned. So things like coconut oil, ghee, olive oil, avocado. And natural salt and a

ton of filtered water. And that's it.

And it ends up being, you know, simple intervention that can shift so many different data points

literally in the space of two weeks. But I ask for the month and I ask for it with 100%

commitment. No like "I was starving so I got a piece of pizza one day." No like "oh,

my best girlfriend is getting married. I have to have a bite of cake." Nothing. Don't

pick that month. Pick another month where you can really do it. Because by the end of

that month you will have the information you need. And then if you have a cup of coffee

and you feel irritable and like you need a nap 6 hours later and then you can't sleep

that night, well good. You don't have generalized anxiety and you're not an irritable person

and you don't have insomnia. You just have that relationship to coffee. Now you know.

Good. So it's about self education and really connecting dots for your own self empowerment.

There's two things I wanna cover. One, I can hear some people saying when you made

the comment, "hopefully you'll never have to go to a doctor again." I can hear people

going, "But wait. I've just got this diagnosis – a life threatening diagnosis." And I

can hear them railing against that. So I would imagine that for you, and I'm curious to

hear your response to this. Arming yourself with the knowledge of how to heal your own

body and understanding how your own system relates to different foods, should you bump

up against one of those things in your life you can then take that knowledge to a particular

specialist who then you can work with from an educated standpoint. So I'm curious to

hear how you …

This is a great question and, again, remember that I am totally conventionally trained,

dyed in the wool. I come from the perspective that if you were to not go to, not only a

doctor but an ivy league trained doctor, then you're being irresponsible and reckless.

So I get that mentality 100%.

But the way that my path has unfolded, not only have I healed myself from a condition

that I was only ever taught in medical school should be chronic and unremitting and even

disabling, and I don't take any prescriptions at this point in my life. But I also had the

deep privilege of working with Dr. Nick Gonzalez who is a … who passed tragically last year,

and who is a doctor who worked with end of the road cancer patients. So terminal metastatic

cancer patients. So doesn't get worse, right, probably than that diagnostic category. And

I watched him with hundreds of people put their cases into not only remission, which

defies any medical outcomes I've ever read about – and I read the literature for 4

hours every Saturday for 14 years – and I have never heard of cases in the conventional

literature with all that chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery have to offer that matched his

outcomes. 34 year survivor of metastatic pancreatic cancer. Doesn't exist. And he did this through

nutritional protocols. And so I had the honor of working with him, learning from him, and

having him influence my own work.

So for me there really is no carve out, but the important caveat is that we often need

… I think of myself a like a helper. Right? So I'm a helper for certain people at a

time and window in their life, and then they take the reins and they are healed.

And often we need a helper. We need a teacher. We need a guide. You're probably not going

to find that in someone who has a fundamentally different belief system than you about the

body's capacity to heal. But you will find it in someone who shares that belief system

even if they sort of do it in a different way than you heard about from somewhere else

or than you've been doing it.

So naturopaths, chiropractors, functional medicine trained doctors, holistically oriented

doctors know this language. You know, you will be speaking the same language. So seek

out that person. Don't argue with your doctor. You shouldn't be arguing with your doctor.

You should be partners on the same team always and with the same goal in mind. And so it's

becoming easier and easier to find these kinds of people and easier to find the information

on your own actually on the internet. But I do believe in that healing partnership,

I just think it's very challenging when you have to educate your doctor. It's a

challenging kind of dynamic.

Let's talk about the power of exercise and meditation. So we know about ... it sounds

… food. Ultimately primary. Your informing … the information you put in your body.

How about exercise and meditation?

Yeah. So exercise was a tough one for me, because before I was diagnosed with a thyroid

condition I never exercised. I didn't even understand why people would exercise. It's

really uncomfortable and it takes a lot of time. I don't get why people are so into it.

So I went to the literature again and I found that actually what's called low volume,

high-intensity exercise is more effective than daily cardio. So it's called burst

training or interval training. So how awesome is that? So you do less and you get more.

So I actually only ask my patients if they're not already exercising to do 20 minutes a

week of sweat inducing. You know, it can be done on an elliptical, you can do military

burpees, you can do jumping jacks, you can use a jump rope. And the idea is 30 seconds

of really high intensity. You know, like a lion is chasing you kind of a thing, 90% of

your effort. 90 seconds of recovery. And you do 8 cycles of that.

And that's sort of like a gateway ideally. I happen to think that for the women I work

with, for the population I work with, that dance is actually really important and movement.

And I hate that kind of exercise. The 20 minutes I just described is not enjoyable for me.

So I … that was a gateway for me. Now I dance several times a week. And I feel like

not only do I exercise, but I experience a kind of freedom, joy, and feminine empowerment

that I wouldn't have access to if I was just exercising to exercise. But often you need

to get there and find your own favorite type of movement. But so I only ask for 20 minutes

a week.

The meditation piece was another point of resistance for me. Because I got with the

food thing, I put my condition into remission, and I thought, "Okay, cool. I'm done."

But I was still my, like, stressed out self just living like now a food-based neurotic

lifestyle. And I really was thriving on stress in a way that, again, I was invited to look

at by the fact that after my second pregnancy I had a bit of a relapse thyroid-wise and

I … that was when I changed. That was when I said, "okay, there's something I'm

missing here."

And I have followed the literature on meditation, it's like 40 years of literature that says

that you can just meditation for 20 minutes listening to someone talk you through a meditation

and all sorts of gene expression changes in your body. From longevity genes to insulin

sensitivity genes. It's so simple. Do it. And I never did it. Still. So for me the game

changed when I discovered Kundalini Yoga meditation. And it's a very, very old branch of yoga.

Some people argue it's the oldest branch, because it incorporates all different kinds

of modalities from hand movements to different kinds of breath to different kinds of mental

focus and sometimes movement.

And it's … I sort of think of it as meditation for people who suck at meditating because

it keeps you really busy. So a given meditation I might have my fingers doing a certain thing,

breathing in through my nose, out through my mouth, and in through my mouth and out

through my nose. I might be looking at a certain place. And imagining sort of hearing a mantra

in my head. And so it sort of gives you the benefit even if you're thinking about … if

you can still think about what you need to buy at CVS. You know? It works, so to speak.

And the other reason that I like it is because you can start with three minutes. And so I

ask my patients to start with three minutes a day and I'll assign them a given meditation.

You can go online and you can Google "Kundalini Yoga meditation digestion" or "heartbreak"

or "intuition" or "anxiety" and there are thousands of them, totally free that you

can do on your own. And even if they say start at 11 minutes, you can just start at three.

And so everyone has three minutes. Maybe not five, but everyone has three. And so I ask

people to just set their alarm clock for 5 minutes earlier and it's a point of entry.

And, again, I've dug up the literature on this which says that all sorts of things can

shift and change, but maybe most importantly, you're sending your body – you're sending

your nervous system a signal of safety. And you're telling yourself everything is actually

okay. Because I wouldn't be stopping for even three minutes if I was in the fight or

flight state that I am in the rest of the day. So it's almost like an interruption

of a cycle or a pattern. For me, my entire nervous system was rewired in two months of

early morning meditation. I started with three minutes and now I do 45 minutes every morning.

No compromise, no exceptions, like no excuses. And I … I need it. You know? I don't think

I would be able to … I would've gone much farther on that path without another diagnosis

had I not made this change. So I'm really passionate about it.

Thank you so much for your work, Kelly. I am just in love with your book and who you

are and what you're bringing to the world. And I want to wrap up with a question that

you ask actually on your about page.

Yes.

And I think it's a powerful question for everyone in our audience to consider. I'm

curious why you have it on your page. So "what is the happiest, healthiest version of yourself

that you can imagine?" How can this question help us?

I think it's interesting because "happy" is a word that I think we need to almost abandon

in a way. It's like a gateway to a bigger question, which is like, "do we really just

want to be happy?" Because I think that so many of us feel deep down something is

missing. Like something is off. And we don't know how to get to the thing we know is missing,

but we have some sort of hope or faith that eventually we'll find it. Otherwise we wouldn't

just be on this hamster wheel punching the clock to survive until we die, which so many

people feel they are doing. Right?

So when I ask people to imagine their more vital self, it's more than just some sort

of fantasy exercise. There's actually data to suggest that when you sit and inhabit something

that you want for yourself, it becomes more likely. It's called morphic resonance in

quantum physics. So the idea to sort of inhabit what it is that you think would be that … the

fulfilment of that missing piece.

And so for most of the women that I work with it's, you know, it's not feeling like

euphoria every day. It's actually feeling gratitude. I think of gratitude as being the

antidote to depression. Because when you can feel that expansive sensation, and you can

experience really the wonder of it all, you're never gonna be able to move into that space

of victimization or rage or frustration and hopelessness. It's almost impossible. So

it's a powerful exercise to begin to just play with this idea that something maybe you

can't even quite envision yet is possible for you.

MÉLENCHON - A GEOPOLITICAL AND DEFENCE PROJECT FOR PEACE - Duration: 1:06:08.

[...] only because of this, my candidacy is concerned with the management of our armies,

since the Head of State is the Commander-in-Chief in the Constitution of the 5th Republic.

I therefore could not consider my candidacy without thinking about this aspect of the mission

that the people entrusts to the man or the woman it elects.

I've been doing this for a long time because I know that resorting to force is a serious task in the life of our societies.

It is irreversible, and avoiding to resort to it requires difficult efforts.

I did it because, as many of you, I have a passion for the history of france, and force played a role in this history.

It has not always been the same role over the years, but it has been a decisive one when, for example,

as was said a few minutes ago, the Great Revolution of 1789 proclaimed

liberty and equal rights for all human beings, which brought down the old regime,

and prompted, only because the revolution occurred, a reaction that began not in the form of arguments but in the form of armies.

It is clear that the Europe of the allied feudal lords first wanted to crush the French Revolution by force,

or, in other words, to crush the people.

For–we should not forget it–all these changes were primarily those that the people wanted and carried out.

Then, in a less remote past, we were force to experience the shame

of the defeat that was organized by incompetent officers

who caused the disaster of the 1940 defeat against the Nazi enemy, who was not only the neighbor that invaded us for the fourth time,

but who was above all the army that carried an ideology and a worldview that was the complete opposite of identity of the French nation,

and always with regard to the same point: the equal rights of human beings.

We could mention the numerous circumstances during which force served ideas

— the worst ideas on some occasions, the best ideas on others.

No one can claim to run our great country without taking into account the fact that it is the fifth economic power in the world...

We are either the fifth or the fourth military power in the world.

Of course, neither our manpower, nor our means, or even our doctrines can be compared to the first and most dangerous power:

the USA and their huge budget of 600 billion dollars for military spendings,

and their capacity to control 80% of the world military spending through NATO and through their regional military alliances.

However, force, and the capacity to use it in retaliation is not insignificant, neither in our history nor in our present.

I share the diagnosis that was presented here by those who spoke before me.

Colonel, you are right in saying that we did not ask you who you want to vote for.

And we will not ask any of the experts on defence issues who they want to vote for.

Because to us, all the French are summoned whatever their opinions when it comes to contribute to the common good

in this supreme moment that we always want to postpone: the moment when we have to defend the fatherland and carry weapons.

You are right, and we will keep on doing so.

I am very proud that military and civil personnel who care about defence issues turn to us,

although they probably never thought about doing it,

but who found something that resonates with what they believe to be right and necessary for the country,

because we are in pursuit of independence, in a situation that more than ever requires independence.

This is what I am about to explain.

Nevertheless, I will not start without thanking you all.

We heard, and you know it by now, that my staff, that is composed of men and women of all ages,

is able to know, to organize, to plan, to disciplin, to treat all the themes that correspond to defence tasks,

be they issues of equipment or industrial strategy,

or the good understanding of the peculiar place of the arms industry within France's industrial process as a whole,

or the political view of the use of force.

Ladies and gentlemen, don't underestimate this capacity.

We have seen where ill-considered or miscalculated decisions could lead us,

or more exactly, decisions that were taken for short-term interests and whose consequences we keep paying the consequences,

because we caused even greater catastrophe than the one we suffered from

—I think about the intervention in Libya, that was the starting point of the spreading of arms and disorder in all Africa.

Moreover, I cannot forget the way the decision was taken and thanks to which arrangements everyone was deceived.

For if the UNO Security Council unanimously decided—including the vote of China and Russia—

that there would indeed be no-fly zones

to prevent Muammar Gaddafi, the dictator, to bomb some of the positions held by the popular uprising,

this decision of the UNO was transformed into something very different,

and understood as a blank check and a right to intervene, to bomb, to destroy and to bring down the regime,

although no political decision for the future was taken, more especially by the Libyan people,

to say nothing of the French people, who supplied the means for this deplorable intervention.

And now, since we know all about this, we need to treat this issue seriously.

To this aim, as far as we are concerned, and for the coherence of our doctrine,

I would like to remind you that the key to the citizens' revolution

is the fact that the people takes the power back in all the domains that concern its collective power.

Of course, the issue of defence is absolutely essential,

and consequently, there is a logical and deep relation between the will to make these issues public

and the will to restore conscription that was suppressed, as you remember.

Since I am old enough to have experience and thanks to the functions I was in charge,

I participated in the debate on the abolition of conscription,

and I was opposed to this abolition, contrary to the party of which I was a member at the time.

I was opposed to it, and I heard arguments that I heard again later,

that said our armies needed professionalization.

There was no need to be a smart cookie to understand where this would lead us.

And, already at the time, I argued that before the abolition of conscription,

the French armies were not composed of amateurs.

On the contrary, they were at their highest professionally speaking,

since they profited from the contribution of the highly educated young people of our country,

whose contribution was priceless, because so much intelligence and skills was gathered in so few places.

Therefore, the plan that we are presenting is built around popular intervention in issues of defence again

—defence theory and the use of the means of defence. But before that, we need to assess the threats we are facing clearly.

This is why I'll start by saying that I will not answer the question on the level of public spending

that is necessary to defence by repeating, as all the parrots do,

that we need a 2% defence budget, although they never say to which aim such a budget would be devoted,

nor for what reason they decided on a 2% budget.

It is not because they have more ideas in this domain than in others,

but it is simply because this figure was decided upon by NATO,

i.e. the military alliance run by North-Americans, who told them we needed to devote 2% of our countries' GDP to defence.

They did so not to define a defence—I mean a threat, sorry—to which this 2% budget would respond,

but they did so to make us buy equipment "off-the-shelf"—to use their elegant formulation—

of which a major part is supposed to come from American equipment, or to be directly related to it,

because, as we know, the liberal North-Americans,

although they are opposed to taxation, to the state, and to more or less everything but trade and arrangements,

have always had a more than keynesian policy,

since it consists in plowing billions and billions of dollars in a single shot into the defence of their country,

with the effect of setting all sorts of industries in motion and, as you know, the arms industry

can perfectly be a driving force for the rest of the industry, since it uses materials of all sorts.

What distingues it from other activities is its purpose,

and the fact that the market, if I may say so, is entirely defined, controled, organized and financed by the state.

This contradicts the opinion of liberals, but it doesn't seem to be a problem for them.

Mr Reagan, who was the onset of the liberal period, did it

by presenting one of the most important military budgets of the post-war years,

and Mr Trump apparently wishes to take up this plan within the frame of his redefinition of USA's geopolitical activities.

Therefore, prior to defining how much we want to spend,

we will start by asking ourselves what the threats the world in general is facing.

I don't want to list all these threats, but I would like to mention some of them.

It is my duty to do so at the moment of making decisions, whatever the domain.

These threats cannot be defined by as wooly concepts as that of "making war on terrorism",

whose major drawback is that it says nothing of terrorists, and whose supreme drawback

is that it says nothing of the link between these terrorists and the material, regional powers that vie with one another

for extremely precise material interests.

For the most part, terrorism is one of the methods of warfare of regional powers that use terrorist attacks

to destabilize countries that they consider to be their enemies, religion being a pretext, and not the reason why they act.

So let's look at what our world is confronted with from above.

Geopolitical disorder is the mother of all wars, that is, the moment when borders are crossed, for a reason or another,

when some nations are forced to move from one place to another, or when the authority of some prevails over the authority of others in one place.

We know, because it is an old anthropological concept, that the first human political community is not family.

It is the human group that exerts its authority on its members and its territory.

As a consequence, when the limits of this authority change, disorder settles down,

and disorder can lead to situations in which issues are settled by violence and force.

Today, we are confronted with a rising tide of disorder that will mechanically come from climate change.

Climate change, by empoverishing certain regions, because of the change in the cycles of rains destroys agriculture,

or because of other reasons that modify the balance of the ecosystem of these regions,

drives immense populations to move from one place to another and to occupy territories,

regardless of the borders they cross or where these borders are, as long as they have somewhere to go.

Moreover, in some regions of the world, since borders were set along ethnic and cultural lines thar are extremely coherent,

it seems natural to these populations to go from one place to another,

because they know they will find family and speak the same language.

Therefore, the borders of dozens of states are swaying.

Dozens of regional alliances, of regional cooperations are swaying or being destroyed by these movements of population.

Let's remember that 80% of te movements of population caused by climate change take place between Southern countries

and that the impact on the so-called Northern countries is but a side effect.

The number of economic refugees that cross the borders of Europe is barely equivalent to the number of people that migrate from Europe to the rest of the world,

because of the absurd policies of the EU that deprive, for other reasons than climate change,

the younger generation and the nations of social perspectives of development.

To make long story short, millions of people—Spaniards, Portugueses, Greeks—are forced to leave Europe.

Even Germans, since 25,000 young Germans leave Germany every year,

but also French people, although we don't know how many, since no one ever tries to establish a figure

for fear of comparing this figure with that of the people that enter our country.

Climate change will therefore cause innumerable upheavals.

And the response to climate change is not a military one,

although the security of borders can quickly lead certain states to resort to force to protect their borders,

since they fear these borders to be jeopardized by these movements of population.

We therefore need preventive measures before any outbreak of catastrophes, measures that are part of a defence policy,

if we accept to consider that, one problem leading to another, and the next to the the one that follows,

as with dominoes, makes a bad harvest in one place have bad consequences in Europe.

The second cause of these troubles and disorders is that production-oriented economy drives us to an ever-increasing

and always irresponsible use of raw materials, and leads some, because of today's extremely sophisticated productions,

to monopolize rare goods—like rare lands for instance—that has some countries compete with one another to control them.

Of course, these goods, these resources and these raw materials are not available everywhere,

so much so that those who have them at their disposal are subject to pressure,

and become the focus of attention that is of course never disinterested,

even though this attention sometimes takes the form of sympathetic struggles for the right of such and such population to self-determination,

populations that are attacked by imperialist powers to cause disorder that destroy nations.

The race for raw materials gets worse

because climate modifies seaways and clears new areas on which no one had any authority until now,

particularly in deep waters, which are the domain of res nullius,

meaning they belong to no one, and as a consequence, first come, first served.

Today, an organization of the exploitation of these areas is beggining to take shape,

but it remains embryonic, and consists in organizing alternate exploitation, as it were.

It is not a right of common goods, especially concerning deep waters.

But before we consider the issue of deep waters, there is the issue of continental plateaus.

France was intelligent enough, under Lionel Jospin's government, to act in time

when the UNO proposed that each country define more precisely the extent of its territory at sea

and be capable of demonstrating the continuity between its continental plateau, and the immediate surrounding of its shores,

and more remote territories: these territories are considered to be exclusive areas.

This enabled our country's surface to increase by 10% without shooting a single bullet in the course of the years 2000.

But you should not forget that there are more tense situations at present.

You heard about ice melt, and you know that the parts of the poles that was until now frozen are decreasing.

You should know that below these areas are great natural resources,

and we find around the North Pole, within the range of missiles, as it were, a competition

between the USA, Russia, Denmark, Sweden and Norway to know who's going to control these territories.

Don't believe that these issues can be settled amicably only,

and this is probably the reason why conscription was restored in one of these countries.

I guarantee you that it has nothing to do with the language barrier.

It is because something is at stake militarily which causes tension to mount: it is the access to raw materials.

Dear friends, if you want to understand the conflicts of the last ten years, follow the oil and gas pipelines,

because wars break out along them.

Since the war in Afghanistan, that didn't have much to do with Twin Towers, but that had much to do with the map of pipelines,

when we asked ourselves if they would go towards China or Europe,

and once the issue was settled, well we packed up our equipment in the disastrous conditions you are aware of,

but we did it, and it is said that the war is over in this country.

Of course, women there enjoy great liberties, and the people has known a development

thanks to the presence of all these armies that we can be proud of,

even though 85% of the money that was plowed into the innumerable contingents in this wretched country

ended up in the coofers of western countries, who had decided on the spendings.

I'm just saying this as a reminder in case you would not know.

Third element: threats.

My first element was cimate change; the second was the pressure exerted on the ecosystem by the production-oriented system,

and the conclusion we should draw is that an ecological policy is a policy of peace,

since it results in bringing this pressure and this predation down on the one hand,

but more importantly because it would enable us to avoid using a number of raw materials.

For instance, if France stopped using fossil energies, in the same way as we will stop using nuclear power,

in order to use 100% renewable energies, we would save half of our foreign trade spendings,

because these spendings are composed of gas and oil.

Thus, an ecological policy is essentially a policy of peace and savings, contrary to what we usually hear.

Last but not least, I'll deal with the various forms of domination in geopolitics.

A lot of experts on these issues are here today, and I advise you not to lecture at them.

However, I am a political leader, and the issue of the balances of power is of particular interest to me,

because after all, politics is all about attempts to settle in a peaceful and orderly way

the balances of power that emerge from contradictory interests that operate within societies.

Geopolitics is deeply deeply influenced by the hazardous situation of the USA.

The USA are the leading power in the world—I said it in the beginning of my speech.

But it is above all the leading monetary power, that issues billions and billions of dollars all over the world,

although they have not started to produce the least gram of matter that corresponds to these sums yet.

These are phoney dollars that are worth whatever you want them to.

The reality is that if the dollar was reduced to its material reality

—as if you all went to the bank to convert your dollars into commodities—

this banknote would not even be worth the paper and the ink used to print it.

Believe me, a $100 banknote is not worth $100,

and this stack of money—that until now flowed freely, since the USA finance their debt by printing money

and that from time to time, more sophisticated and elegant expressions than "printing money" are invented ("easy something...").

They print and print money to buy back their debts. They've been doing this since 2008 at an unbelievably quick pace,

that enabled the USA to edge their way through and to overcome the huge shock of the 2008 crisis,

although their economy became weaker in return.

This fragility is facing peculiar circumstances: as global trade is still made with dollars,

the euro appeared, and it is the currency of the leading economic power

as far as production, exchanges and the amount of money are concerned.

In the mean time, the Chinese currency appeared, almost mechanically.

China became the leading economic power without any imperialist policy,

only because this country was entrusted with the lowcost productions we did not want to take care of

because we did not want to increase salaries in order to buy commodities as cheaply as possible.

Anyway, in the mean time, contrary to what incompetent economists believed, China did not content itself

with producing cheap commodities like sunshades and castanets that would have made us happy.

China produces half of the computers in the world.

As you know, it has the technical capacity to destroy satellites from the Earth,

the capacity to organize human space flights, to go to and to come back from space, to maintain orbital stations etc etc.

In short, China is at the forefront of all these techniques, and this should make us happy,

because it is a good things that Europeans stop lamenting the Chinese people

or collecting the silver paper of chocolate bars as our parents did

when the Chinese people was not capable of providing for their means of subsistance.

It is a good thing if 1,4 billion are autonomous and can produce high-quality goods.

Of course, the conditions in which they produce them are not good, and our circumspection on this point is still entire.

But we the French see China as a partner.

I suggested in my book "Let's get rid of them all" that China should be a privileged partner,

which owed me to be considered a henchman of the Chinese Communist Party—which I'm not—

even though it was the RPR (conservatives) that reached an agreement with the CPR at the time,

and I am delighted to remind you that the main leaders of the French-China associations are to be found in the UMP (conservatives),

and not in the Left Party or in La France Insoumise.

The Chinese are privileged partners for us—I'll talk about Russians later.

But the situation is completely different for North-Americans. Why is that?

China financed the US Treasury by massively buying US bonds,

that would be equivalent to a nuclear bomb if they decided to sell them,

or if they decided to use another currency for trade.

And it happens that China is the most important producer and exporting country in the world,

so it would be normal that their currency be requested and that the countries that do trade with them wish this currency to be convertible.

And step by step, we see that China creates compensation funds that enable it to start organizing the conversion of part of other currencies

into the Chinese national currency, and I am very happy that this compensation fund is located in Paris,

although I am very disappointed that the train from Beijing only stops in Berlin and not in Paris.

But to go back to this strategic moment,

it is clear that the destabilization of the USA results from a mechanical situation,

and not from an agressive attitude on the part of China.

Of course, a great power like China always has an interest in stabilizing its positions

and to have its borders recognised by other countries. I will deal with the issue of borders in a moment.

Some simple minds think that borders are stable and that running along these borders

shouting that they are stable is enough to settle the disputes.

This has not been the case at all during the last thirty years, and this is not about to start,

especially in the case of the islands that either Russia and China, or China and Japan claim to be theirs,

which create tension.

But the structural cause lies in this imbalance,

and the USA, who have focused their efforts on containing the power of the USSR for a long tim

and on destroying it if possible,

and who, out of habit, and through a well-known phenomenon of bureaucratization

that sees their security agencies compete with one another, out of blindness,

and out of an imperialist will to keep controlling European countries,

the USA still designated Russia as their main enemy for a time,

after they tried to purely and simply destroy it, by tarnising its prestige, by insulting and threatening it.

For we should remember that the collapse of the USSR did not lead to negotiations about the reorganization of the old Soviet empire.

It is one of the rare occasions in history in which the dismemberment of an empire was not negotiated.

I'm not saying that the dismemberments of the Austro-Hungarian and the Turkish Empires during the Versailles Treaty were a success,

but we at least remember that if there was a Versailles Treaty, it was because there had been a war,

which had already taken place for problems of borders, of access to natural resources and of competition between imperialisms.

And so, during the period that followed the collapse of the USSR,

we lied to and deceived all those we spoke to.

We had previously told them that NATO would not extend up to the Russian borders but we immediately did the contrary.

We had told them that NATO would extend up to East Germany if Germany wished to reintegrate East Germany to form a single country

—which was not obvious given the history of the 20th century—

and that these countries would not necessarily integrate NATO.

Moreover, everyone thought NATO had become useless since the USSR had disappeared

and since there was no longer any alliance organized by Russia.

Of course, the USA need this alliance—whatever its name.

Anyway, during this period that was full of lies and provocations,

thoughtless acts added to this situation, and it goes on even today.

They consist in constantly recruiting new countries within NATO,

and in moving the borders of NATO always closer to the borders of Russia.

Even today, negotiations with Montenegro are taking place, after so many other countries.

The 10 countries that entered the EU all at once had previously entered NATO before the EU.

We should understand how explosive this is within the game of world powers—for I am talking about the game of world powers!

We're not living in a world where people merely think highly of one another, have good relationships,

drink one another's liquor and eat one another's food.

There are conflicts of interests between powers, and Europe is the place in the world with the greatest number of old scars caused by border issues,

and new wounds often appear on old scars.

We therefore need to be very careful about these issues.

François Hollande's presidency, and Mr Sarkozy's before him,

has been marked by complete blindness and a series of renunciations whose root cause lies in the idea that France

cannot be an independent nation and that it doesn't have any specific role to play in Europe.

Considering the innumerable provocations against Russia,

and more particularly, considering François Hollande's decision—that he took as soon as he was elected—

to take part in the Chicago Summit and to accept the setting of antimissile missiles in Poland,

that were supposed to protect us from so-called Iranian missiles.

Some thought that this location was curious if Iran was the target,

but those who know military affairs perfectly knew that these missiles had only one objective:

to threaten 75% of Russia's defence system.

Russia perfectly understood this, and we can say that this decision was the beginning of an irresponsible escalation

whereas there should have been negotiations.

I tackled the issue of Russia because, as you know, US security agencies have numerous agents of influence at their disposal,

and whoever says that Russians are partners today, whatever their regime,

whoever says that we should talk and negotiate with them—for it is the only solution to avoid a war—

and it's because we are pacifists—or rather in favor of peace, there's a difference—

and because we refuse war that we propose a discussion.

This is why I suggested the holding of a conference on security from the Atlantic to the Urals.

I took up this old expression of General De Gaulle,

because I cannot hide that the construction of our view of national defence and independence owes much to his thinking.

This latter has been assessed after all these years, and it is clear that it remains relevant for the most part,

and fits our pacific view quite naturally.

In these conditions, and given the dangers we are facing,

and as these dangers have increased in Europe by an irresponsible and agressive policy towards Russia,

who naturally responded as agressively,

we see that borders in Europe are called into question.

They have been called into question!

For the decision to make Crimea a part of Ukraine,

a decision that was taken by the USSR's Communist Party's Politburo under the authority of its Secretary-General, Mr Khrushchev,

is the object of absolute vigilance today and is a legal decision in terms of international conventions.

Borders are borders, and they must respect a principle of intangibility.

But of course, when problems arise, discussions must take place by taking into account a second principle

that is at least as important as the first one,

and this principle is the right of nations to self-determination.

For some say that borders must remain intangible—and I absolutely agree—

but we must address this issue. We either talk or go to war.

Talking is a better solution, and the idea of a conference is to me the most realistic solution.

To this aim, do we have to create new tools?

No we don't, because we have the OSCE.

This organization already exists. It was created after the Helsinki Accords

that planned mutual disarmament, nuclear disarmament more especially.

This organization already exists. All we have to do is to make it work again.

But Europeans, because of their marked tendency towards the USA, and because of their hysteric russiophobia,

left this organization aside, and they're wrong.

If we had to run this country, we would make this organization work again,

and France—a military power that is essential in Europe...

For if we are the fifth nuclear power in the world, the situation is completely different from a purely European point of view.

Without a doubt, we are the second nuclear power after Russia,

for I consider Russia as a European nation essentially.

This conference must address the issue of borders,

because this issue exists, especially in the case of Crimea and Ukraine.

The right of nations to self-determination and the issue of borders should lead us to consider the history of Europe less naively

than those who want to lecture at me on this issue.

The borders have moved in Europe.

Should I remind you how the collapse of the former Yugoslavia,

that was not negotiated and abandonned to balances of power, whereas France, under François Mitterand's presidency,

had demanded that prior to recognising the independence of the countries that were about to be created,

these countries should first define what fate and what rights would be granted to their national minorities.

We were waiting, in the same way as we had been waiting during the German reunification,

in the course of which this same François Mitterand, in order to give France's consent,

had demanded that the new eastern border of Germany be the Oder-Neisse line in Pomerania.

After they thought about it for a month, our German neighbors agreed.

Well our reasoning concerning Yugoslavia was the same considering that the Balkans had always been a powder keg.

But far from following us in our wise reasoning, our German neighbors made a different choice

and immediately recognised Croatia and Slovenia.

We should remember that in the course of their mischievous history,

both these nations were Germany's allies during the First and the Second World War.

This was a complete mistake,

because ethnic cleansings immediately began in Croatia, and then in Serbia as a response.

Let me remind you that the first state to be created was Bosnia,

because Bosnia refused to align with both these nations, which ended with a pathetic war,

and finally, borders changed again in Yugoslavia, that was under Mr Milosevic's authority

—yet another nationalist mistake—

when a war broke out and which ended with the creation of Kosovo.

Until recently, Kosovo had not been recognised by a lot of countries, by France more particularly for a long time.

I did not recognise Kosovo either. I never vote for any text that involves Kosovo

because to me, a country was dismembered to create another country

without any respect for international laws,

and without any legal consultation with the countries that were concerned by this issue.

I noted that those who fiercely criticized—and rightfully so—Russia's annexation of Crimea

are as silent as sparrows at dusk when it comes to Kosovo.

But I'll take a less painful example to show you that the issue of borders in Europe is real,

in spite of those who don't want to admit it.

There's at least one very recent case that calls the issue of borders again.

The UK has decided to leave the EU.

The negotiation that the UK has undertaken doesn't matter.

What matters is the decision.

It means that all the parts that form its territory will leave the EU.

However, one of these parts doesn't agree with this decision.

They may be using this situation quite intelligently,

but they say that since they want to remain in the EU, they cannot remain in the UK.

I am talking about Scotland.

But it will be the case of Ireland very soon,

because this time, there are negotiations and endless discussions, it's true,

but there's a war that has been lasting for 50 years, and even more, and this war has been very violent at times.

Southern Ireland doesn't want to have a frontier with Northern Ireland again, and vice versa.

What is the answer of the moral magistery that takes no account of the will of nations to self-determination,

and that contents itself with repeating that borders are intangible?

I repeat that I agree on this point, but to make borders intangible, there must be talks, or it is war.

Now what should our answer to Scotland be?

Should we assist the English armies if England did not approve the Scottish independence?

Will we help England to prevent Ireland from building the nation they have always aspired to?

All this is absurd!

And I'll be kind enough to leave aside the consequences

that would come out of the not so improbable hypothesis of a secession of Flanders from Belgium.

So we the neighbors of Belgium would have nothing to say about this?

Would we content ourselves with saying that we would help an undefined entity to compel the Flemish to give up?

Of course not!

This would lead to a major redistribution and reorganization.

My point is that all the conditions that led to wars in Europe in the past are restored,

and that if we let them worsen by indulging in wishful thinking,

by expressing kind reproofs to one and all by arming to the teeth

and by taking part in every provocation, all we do is increase the dangers of war,

of military escalation and chains of events that no one will be able to control.

So much for Europe.

But France is concerned with other regions of the world.

It is obvious that the USA have a new target.

Taking their weak spots into account, that is, the dollar and their relation to the first workshop in the world,

the USA—in a way that is not crazy at all, in the sense of the mental insanity attributed to Mr Trump—

in a very rational way, turn towards their main rivals and try to exert on them the military pressure

that they have always used to defeat those who questionned their supremacy.

Thus, from the point of view of US capitalism's interests,

Mr Trump very rationally turned his missiles towards China.

And...

he uses this situation to tell us Europeans that we must club together to take care of our defence better,

and some naive people in Europe say that since the USA no longer want to take care of us,

we musttake care of ourselves.

Goog, they are right!

But take care of ourselves to do what?

Against whom and with whom?

These are the real questions.

Especially when we systematically and methodically see that in all the official texts,

all the resolutions and every wishful thinking of the European Parliament,

in all the statements of the Council of Ministers of the European Union

as in all the scenarios examined by the EU,

all these texts systematically state that there can be no European defence that is not very tightly linked to NATO.

no one in Europe but your servant says that the future of our defence, of our fatherland,

and maybe, if need be, of the countries that would have an interest in sharing a common defence with us,

no one says that our interest is to withdraw from NATO and from this military spiral. No one!

This includes all my opponents in the current presidential election.

Our programme is the only one that proposes our withdrawal from NATO.

I wouldn't like this proposition to be understood as ideological only, although it is partly ideological.

The French, who have something of Asterix in their nature,

are not very fond of the empires that claim to tell them what to do.

It is in our nature to rebel against any attempt to dominate us.

I think it is a good idea.

For we don't have any interest in contributing to the power of the Empire.

Consequently, our withdrawal from NATO would mean that we disagree with the strategy

that is pitifully called the reviving of the European Defence project.

For the European Defence project as it is described today means war.

More precisely, the European Defence project as it is described in official texts today means war with Russia,

because no one but Russia is defined as our rival in European official texts today,

and this is absurd.

This doesn't mean that we consider the Russian government as a benevolent government that is easy to deal with.

That's not what I'm saying.

Once again, I would like to remind you that General De Gaulle reached an agreement with Staline.

And with Mao.

Consequently, when the time comes, I'll find a way to come to an understanding with Mr Putin

in order to prevent war in EUrope.

This is the way we should tackle these problems.

We cannot be members of NATO because this would amount to adhering to a war in Europe.

However, we have other interests that bring us together with other nations.

First, we have common points with some nations due to the current circumstances

because they are capable of resisting.

I think about the BRICS countries,

an alliance of emerging countries that is hounded by the USA,

militarily , as in the case of Russia and China,

politically, as in the case of the coup d'état in Brazil.

This becomes obvious if we think about the fact that Brzail is a member of the BRICS countries.

And in this context, we the French could become the new asset of a new proposition.

A new military and geopolitical proposition.

An alliance of countries that refuse to align with empires, whatever the empires in question.

An alliance that would give up the use of imperial practices.

An alliance that would focus on highlighting and protecting the rights of nations to self-determination.

This is the doctrine that I propose before you.

Moreover, I think it would be approved of,

by French-speaking countries especially, with whom we have relations

that I would like to integrate in France's strategic vision in the course of the next decades.

The community of French-speaking countries could move on to a political stage in numerous domains

on the condition that we accept the obvious objective of equal relationships between our countries.

This community could get a better name than "Francophonie", like "the common language",

but it is obvious that the "Francophonie" will go through a revolution in the course of the next three decades

because the leading human group that will share our language will be Africa.

And African nations, through their development and the human multitudes that are trying to build a common future,

will fertilize the language itself, its attributes, our common imagination and thinking.

With the objective of a political French-speaking community in mind, we need to prepare

to a relationship in which Africa would be a driving force,

or in which it would at least have specific responsibilities that it does not have yet,

but that Africa will mechanically have in the future.

This situation would be beneficial to France in every possible way,

first because it will put an end to the despicable cancer of corruption

that comes from this group of allied French and African bandits called "France-Africa", which is a disgrace for all of us.

It would also be beneficial to us because it would enable us to completely rethink our relationships.

Of course, there is the European Union. I won't explain to you our Plans A and B again, which is our way of renegotiating,

but the political "Francophonie" is by far the safest way of securing the future of France.

We will soon be the third group of speakers in the world.

This will greatly help us from a cultural, industrial, technical, human and artistic point of view.

I'd like you to think about this, and as far as I'm concerned, I do more than think about it: I make propositions.

In our programme, there is not only what we said about geopolitical and defence issues,

but we also issued a booklet on the theme of the "Francophonie".

I'll get closer to my conclusion

by addressing the questino of our armies more concretely and directly.

Earlier on, I tackled the issue of the threats that influence our thinking

and that force us to think about the future in new conditions.

No generation before us had to take climate change as a geopolitical factor into account. None!

We are the first generation to take it into account.

But in the domain of the military balances of power,

a revolution is taking place, a revolution that is as important as the revolution that occurred when nuclear weapons appeared.

This revolution sort of reduced all the other revolutions to a specific level of use for so-called intermediate conflicts.

We the French, because of our nuclear deterrence doctrine, don't want to hear about intermediate conflicts.

To us, intermediate conflicts don't exist.

We don't want any conflict to appear at all.

Of course, to conclude this subject,

we should undertake initiatives concerning military nuclear power.

It is clear that France must reaffirm its will of a project of denuclearization of the world

that would proceed region after region, because it is the most concrete model.

More particularly, it would be a good thing if the Middle East was denuclearized,

because tensions are extremely high in this region.

But the question will arise in Europe when the time comes.

I am happy that Mr Xi Jinping, the President of the Popular Republic of China, took the initiative

of proposing the holding of a new conference on global denuclearization to the UNO.

And we the French, if I were to run this country,

would become a driving force to achieve the objective of global military denuclearization.

Since nuclear power is the ultimate weapon of France, it is obvious that we would not be the first to start denuclearization,

event though we would contribute to this process from the outset in order to make things clear for everyone.

I'll get to the point now. A revolution just occurred in the art of war,

and we just began to realize that it just started and that it is decisive.

As when nuclear weapons appeared, as when crossbows appeared in the era of swords,

we can say that cyberwarfare made all our material, human and technical systems of military balance of power obsolete.

At least for the reason that all our equipment, for the reasons that we mentioned earlier,

is heavily infested with high technologies, which make us depend on cyberlinks.

In these conditions, the task that consists in equipping ourselves with cyberbrigades and cybersquads

and in recruiting all those who have high -level qualifications and skills in this domain

is of the utmost priority.

When the time comes, if we win the elections, France will equip itself with state-of-the-art cyberwarfare weapons.

We could imagine that a certain number of weapons become less necessary than they were before,

and that nonlethal forms of combat—i.e. forms of combat that do not instantly kill fighters—could be deployed.

Since everyone will be stupid enough to interconnect billions of devices,

from fridges to pens and whatnot,

or from your phones to air conditionning and ventilation—everywhere!—

since everyone will make this mistake—and this process is well under way—

this means that everything will be within everyone's reach!

Consequently, we can ask ourselves if certain forms of intervention are now necessary.

For instance, I know that there is a debate on the issue of aircraft carriers.

We have one, and we use it as best we can.

Some say we should have a second aircraft carrier, and we are moving towards this objective.

But would this be our most clever move?

I don't think so.

However, since we have the second largest maritime territory in the world,

and for a certain number of medium intensity,

or for military interventions like the one we carried out against maritime piracy,

whose solution is not cyberwarfare,

we need an important naval equipment made of smaller units that would be easier to handle, better armed,

and endowed with equipment that would enable us to quickly intervene where and when we would need to.

As you can see, dear colonel, dear friends, we need to think about the general military doctrine

rather than the priority level of threats only.

We must know the threats we are facing, but we must develop a military doctrine.

How does a balance of power lead to violence in the 21st century?

We must use forms of violence that lessen the impact of violence.

This is the way I see the general outline of the response we gave, in our booklets and in our programme,

to the issues of geopolitics and defence strategy.

Let me repeat it. It is useless to deal with military issues if we do not deal with geopolitics.

Strategy prevails over the budget,

for even if we did not have any budget, we would still have to defend our fatherland.

And this is precisely why we propose the creation of a national guard.

I think the terrorist attacks against our country highlighted the weak spots of our country.

These weak spots are very hard to protect completely, you all know this.

Of course, we need human intelligence and determined action.

Less conversation and more action will be decisive.

But we all know that a zero risk objective is impossible to achieve.

Consequently, our number one duty is to stay united.

We should not give the victory to the enemy when he attacks us,

by either holding some of us responsible, or by saying that some of our citizens are their accomplices.

But we should learn from these attacks over the middle and the long run.

There could be other terrorist attacks,

and they could strike installations of a different nature than those that were struck until now.

We therefore need the strength of the people to secure our collective protection.

As Djordje Kuzmanovic said it earlier, we will do this step by step.

I will not say something as ridicule as

stating that if I am elected in May, 800,000 young people will be recruited in our army by September 2018.

First of all, it would be useless.

Secondly, our programme does not plan that every citizen be recruited in the army.

On the contrary, we plan that the citizens set to all sorts of tasks for the human public interest.

Not only for ourselves—I wanted to say this in the intervention of Djordje Kuzmanovic—

but also for our neighbors, to whom we are bound by love and friendship.

I think about the countries of the Mediterranean basin—be they European or Maghrebi—

with whom we often suffer the same catastrophes—ecological catastrophes, wildfires, and other similar problems.

The youth of our countries could join their forces in a common effort,

and contribute with their countries to something that goes beyond their own countries,

such as the public interest of the Mediterraneans to begin with,

and then the public interest of universal humanity.

This is what this force would be.

We will do this step by step. I must admit that I did not understand the propositions of my opponents.

I did not.

I think they will cause nothing but disasters, because their thinking is very feeble,

and their will to be independent is close to zero.

How can someone want to cut 120,000 jobs in the public sector,

take off 100 billion euros from the national budget,

and in the mean time re-equip and reorganize armies—or anything else?

All these people are determined to become the henchmen of the USA.

They just think that once they'll take their share of what they call "smart defence",

in which all these nice people will take what our good American masters will agree to distibute among them,

the problems would be settled.

I cannot believe that conscription could only take a month, as some of my opponents suggest.

This is not conscription but a summer camp.

I don't think that the young French people want that. We should not try it on them.

You can ask them to give some of their time, you can ask them to make sacrifices,

you can ask them to have will—they are ready—

but I refuse to try it on them by sumonning them to such improbable groupings.

This would be very badly received. As for me, I could of course explain our propositions.

My conclusion will deal with Syria.

I am happy that the proposition I have made from the very beginning was adopted by the UNO.

Unanimously!

So let me tell you that—not you, but my opponents, who have all been doing absurd overstatements in this domain,

and who have made the situation incomprehensible, because it changes every week,

with good guys becoming bad guys and vice versa,

with those who were our enemies, who cruelly attacked us, becoming moderate rebels.

Well it would have been easier to tackle problems the way I suggested we should tackle them.

Since there is a problem with the transit of raw materials, then we should talk about it

with those who have interests in this matter,

and these are Turkey, Iran, Irak, Syria and other countries

who are involved in this war by hiring various mercenaries.

The only solution is to organize a lasting ceasefire through a universal coalition,

and consequently everyone must participate, there cannot be two coalitions in one place

that share and contend for enemies and allies.

And the only way to solve the political problem of Mr Bachar Al Assad's government is to organize elections.

That's precisely what the UNO resolution says.

I've been mocked for this because organizing elections in a country that went through such a war is difficult.

All right. But what other choice do we have?

None!

None but carrying on with the war forever

until one of the belligerents wins by destroying everyone else!

No one wants this solution.

François Hollande's absurd foreign policy went from failure to failure,

and now we don't even take part in the discussions,

which is ironic for someone who claimed to solve problems with bombings.

The issue of Syria once again poses the question of our autonomy and independence.

I don't need to tell you why, you all have the answer in mind.

Apparently, some things could not be done on our own.

And earlier on, someone reminded us that when one cannot do something on his own any longer,

it means the politics of others is being reinjected into our decision.

The will to remain independent is therefore a whole.

France's capacity to use its own military means and to equip its allies if need be,

is of vital importance for the fatherland.

I want to denounce and point the finger at those who made the absurd decision of privatizing Nexter.

They did this in absolutely loathsome conditions, since we now share the production of our tanks with a German family,

and since the head office of this company was set in the Netherlands to better evade French and German taxes.

This decision is shocking and unacceptable from start to finish.

We will repeal this decision when the time comes.

Similarly, buying weapons from others countries to equip the French armies—with decisive equipment particularly

starting with the equipment of soldiers—is out of the question.

I know that my political family is reluctant to deal with the issue of the production of arms.

And I share the reasons why they feel reluctant to do this.

But as was shown by Jean-Pierre Brat earlier on,

we are capable of positionning the arms industry within the rest of the industry

in a way that would enable us to not devote the arms industry to the sole production of arms.

On the contrary, it could capitalize on the progress made in such and such domain.

In these conditions, I think that Jean-Pierre Brat's intervention was of the greatest importance.

Primarily because when a union leader speaks, he speaks on behalf of the working class.

It enables us to know what the workers in the arms industry think.

Contrarily to what some might think, the employees of the arms industry are peacful, and sometimes even pacifists,

and they are in favor of peace and disarmament.

And I was happy to hear the account of Jean-Charles Hourcade, that followed Mr Goya's this morning.

I hope you all understood how coherent, how clear and how strong our doctrine is.

We've thought about for a long time,

and when the time comes, I will not only be proud but capable of being Commander-in-Chief

if it is the decision of the sovereign people.

Content Marketing For Small Business - Duration: 5:26.

Running a profitable, in demand, and value providing small business is no easy task.

There's operations to watch over, finances to control and customers to keep happy.

So it's no surprise that one of the most important parts of building and growing a

small business, marketing, is often pushed to the back burner by mistakenly focusing

all your attention on putting out the day to day fires that come along with doing business

in todays age.

But sadly this short term thinking and focusing on the urgent at the expense of the important

leads to the eventual demise and ultimate failure of the business.

So what's the solution?

Well seeing as you can't do everything, the key is to focus on the highest value marketing

activity for your business.

The one that will provide the greatest returns, happiest customers, and position your business

as the best in your market.

And that strategy is content marketing.

Which is why on today's episode we're talking all about content marketing for small

business, so you can focus on the best, and ignore the rest.

Hello and welcome, my name is Adam Erhart and you are watching the Modern Marketing

Show.

Where we take different marketing tactics, tools, tips and strategies and break them

down into bite sized actionable clips that you can use to immediately take your business

to the next level.

Focus on the best and ignore the rest.

This simple motto may actually be the answer to your busy, overworked, and stressed out

business self.

You see with more options available today than ever before it's easy to fall into

the trap of wanting, or thinking you need to do everything.

But everything just isn't possible, not to mention not a lot of fun, and not terribly

effective as a simple look at Paretos principle, or the 80/20 rule will clearly show that 80%

of your results will come from just 20% of your efforts.

So the key then is to find the top 20% activities that you can do that will provide those incredible

80% results.

And the odds are pretty darn good that these 20% activities will contain some form of content

marketing.

Because time and time again content marketing delivers more, and higher quality leads and

customers than just about any other strategy out there.

It also builds long term trust, fosters relationships, and increases the lifetime value of your customers,

all of which add to your bottom line and make business and life a whole lot more enjoyable.

So with all that said, how can you get started using a content marketing strategy in your

small business, and do it as early as today?

A simple task performed consistently will outperform even the most complicated marketing

funnels used randomly or given up on completely when the eventual overwhelm and frustration

kicks in.

So the key is to start small, and build from there.

And this means focusing on one channel and mastering it before moving on to the next

shiny object.

When it comes to finding the best content channel for your business the key is to take

a look at your target market and try to find the one that best aligns with their content

consumption habits.

Does your audience read blogs, listen to podcasts, or watch videos?

And where do they like to do this?

On social media?

Through email?

Or by stumbling across it on their favourite websites?

Once this is done it's time to match this up with the channel that you feel most comfortable

on.

Do you prefer writing over speaking?

If so a text based blog is likely the best channel for your business.

Or do you prefer speaking over writing, but are terrified of being on video?

If that's the case, then a podcast will likely do the trick.

Or, are you fine being on video and talking directly to the camera, but the thought of

sitting down and typing sounds like an absolute nightmare?

Because if that's the case then a video based channel is going to provide you the

best results, and provide the most flexibility in regards to repurposing and syndicating

your content across other channels later.

The key though is to find the channel you feel most comfortable on so you'll stay

consistent and committed to your content marketing strategy.

Once you've found your channel it's time to find your voice.

And this means identifying you or your businesses unique selling proposition, or in simple terms,

what makes you better or different from the competition.

A common myth is that you need to be funny or entertaining or produce Hollywood style

content that rivals the pros.

But this simply isn't the case.

The main thing to focus on is value, and ensuring that your content helps, educates, and informs

your market.

Your customers don't require that level of content sophistication, but they do require

answers to their questions, and solutions to their problems.

So focus on providing value, and being yourself which together provide an unequaled level

of authenticity and connection.

So just how much content is enough?

Well like most things in business and in life, you get back what you put into it, so the

more time, money, and energy you're able to dedicate to your content marketing strategy

the greater and faster your returns will be.

But there's something even more important than just pumping out as much content as you

can, and that's focusing on being consistent.

Because consistently and regularly producing content over time works just like compounding

interest by building up your audience, increasing your perceived level of expertise, building

massive trust, and creating a content database that will continue to provide value for months

and years to come.

So the key here is to find the right level of frequency for you and your business, and

then do your best to stick to it, whether this is once a week, or once a month, though

once a week is a good place to start.

And don't forget to always focus on quality over quantity.

And when you do you'll being to build up an incredible foundation of content that will

make marketing and growing your business faster, easier, and more profitable than ever before.

So thanks so much for watching.

Identical Snowflakes? Scientist Ruins Winter For Everyone. | Deep Look - Duration: 3:29.

You know the old saying:

That like people, no two snowflakes are exactly alike.

But is that really true?

Their intricate beauty is so delicate… so fleeting.

It's made them one of nature's great mysteries.

But that incredible complexity actually comes from very simple building blocks.

High up in the clouds, snowflakes begin as water vapor.

Water molecules whiz around, bouncing off of each other.

When the temperature cools, the molecules slow down and start sticking to one another.

They form a hexagon: six-point symmetry, the core structure of a snowflake.

As each one grows, it builds on that basic geometry, creating a crystal lattice.

That's why you tend to find snowflakes with six arms.

Not five, not seven.

From there, the variety just explodes.

The shapes are practically infinite.

So what are the chances of finding two snow crystals that look exactly the same?

In his lab at Caltech, Physics professor Ken Libbrecht has figured out

how to solve that mystery.

Inside a chamber, he makes snowflakes from scratch…

He starts with humid air, and drops the temperature until ice crystals start to form.

When they get heavy enough they fall.

He catches them on a chilled plate, where he can watch them grow using time-lapse photography.

As he boosts the humidity, arms begin to extend out from the corners.

If he cools the air even more, branches shoot off the arms.

Libbrecht can create a bunch of crystals on the same plate.

Like these two- they're growing in exactly the same conditions.

And look!

Twins!

But these perfect copies only exist here… in the lab.

Outside up in the clouds it's unpredictable.

The temperature, humidity and air pressure are constantly changing.

Each snowflake takes its own path as it falls to earth.

And that solo flight means they all grow a little... differently.

So each one really is unique, shaped by its own individual journey through the world.

Hey guys, it's Lauren.

We've got a few more tiny mysteries for you.

Find out how roly polies ventured out from the ocean to conquer your backyard.

Or how just one handful of sand can tell you the history of the entire planet.

And while you're at it, share us!

See you next time.

Mark Hamill & Daisy Ridley's Epic Star Wars: Force For Change Announcement - Duration: 3:36.

Hey, guys! Mark and Daisy here,

and you're gonna wanna listen to this.

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Star Wars,

we're offering fans the chance to win not one,

but three once-in-a-lifetime Star Wars experiences.

For 40 years, you've been the best fans in the world,

bringing the franchise to life in ways

we never could have imagined.

And now, it's our chance to celebrate you.

It's the next Star Wars: Force for Change

fundraising initiative,

and it's all to support two great causes.

So we've teamed back up with Omaze

to give you a chance to win a new

Star Wars experience every week of the campaign.

Including an overnight stay at Skywalker Ranch,

a chance to appear in the upcoming Han Solo movie

and my personal favorite,

a trip to LA to join me and the cast at the world premiere

of Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

Enter any week, and you're in the running

to win the grand prize: all three of these incredible

once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

So let's start with this week's prize:

a trip to Skywalker Ranch.

Ah, Skywalker Ranch.

It's been a while since I've been there,

but fortunately, we've got Daisy to tell us all about it.

I'm sorry?

Well, I figured you being one of the stars

of the new trilogy, you've been there many times.

Right. Yeah, of course. Skywalker Ranch.

Practically my home away from home.

Where do I begin?

Ooh, the Inn, the Inn! Start with the Inn!

The Inn... mhm.

Yeah! And really, spare no detail.

Hm. Haha.

Nice sized beds.

But not too firm, you know?

Oh, and the sheets.

Thread count is...

it's up there. It's high.

Well, I meant how each room is uniquely designed

to honor some of the great artists

who inspired George's work.

Oh that. Yep, that's true. Very unique!

Well, anything else you'd like to add?

I mean, anything at all?

Nope!

You've never been to Skywalker Ranch. Right?

How to Handle Customer Complaints Like a Pro - Duration: 20:14.

So I'm going to make a prediction.

The chances of this video going viral is this big.

Here's why.

Because no one cares to talk about customer complaints.

But I promise you, I want to challenge you to listen to this whole thing because it will

save you a lot of sleepless nights, it will make you a lot of money, it will save you

a lot of money and it will just create a culture for your company.

So let's get right into it.

Complaints are a part of business.

When you decide to become a business owner, you are putting yourself out there for customers

to say you are not as good as XYZ and it is our job to hear them out and get better because

this is free counsel that people are giving you.

Just think about it.

There's companies that do focus groups that pay $75 per participant to just show up and

complain about your product and you're getting all these things for free.

That's one of the things I want you to be keeping in mind.

Now let's talk about how I look at complaints.

There are five different types of complainers when it comes down to your business and no

matter what you do, there's five different types of people that complain about what you

do.

The number one type of complainer is the valid complaint.

This is the person that's right.

You did something wrong.

Your company didn't do the right thing.

The procedures, the offers, anything that happened, they're absolutely right with what

took place.

And I'm going to explain you how to handle that.

But the first one is the valid complainers.

Whatever complaint that was made, you have to figure out how to improve that.

The pessimist.

This is the person that no matter where you go with them, nothing can ever make them happy.

Nothing can make them happy.

So you can do anything and everything for them, they will never be happy with what you

do for them.

This is the customer you have as well.

The third type of customer is the one that they like your product, they disagree with

your beliefs.

For instance, hypothetically, imagine the CEO of Starbucks gets up and he says, "I believe

that healthcare should be free for everybody."

And there's someone that goes to Starbucks and loves the coffee, but they absolutely

disagree politically with what Howard Schultz believes when it comes down to national healthcare.

For example, imagine if you are the CEO of Wal-Mart, and you believe in capitalism, and

they always go to Wal-Mart and shop, but they HATE what the company stands for and they

support certain people politically or a team or whatever it is, so they have a vendetta

toward you.

I'll give you a story.

One time with a rant complainer that happened with me.

This was six and a half years ago, we had just started our firm, and I will never forget

what happened with this story here because I remember I got this, all of a sudden, this

person started posting all over our Facebook, Twitter, you know, every single website that

we had, they were just complaining, complaining, complaining, this company sucks, this CEO's

horrible, bop, bop, bop, bop, all this stuff.

So finally, I called Mario, and I said, "Mario, I need to get that guy's number.

I'm going to call him."

So I get his number.

I call him up, at night.

I'll never forget it.

It's 10:00 at night.

It's 8:00 his time, I'm on the phone with him.

I said, "Hey, this is Patrick Bet-David, giving you a, The CEO of PHP.

I just wanted to call you.

It seems you're extremely upset.

I wanted to call you instead of having someone else call you.

Can you tell me what you're not happy about?"

And we went on a 45-minute conversation.

Do you want to know what this conversation was over?

Let me tell you what this conversation was over.

This conversation was over the fact that he belonged to the biggest communistic organization

in America and he's a proud believer and follower of Karl Marx, a book called Communist Manifesto.

And he found out that I believe in capitalism and I followed the teaching of Milton Freedman,

and he HATES capitalism.

He hates capitalism!

So I'll never forget the conversation that we had together and this became a friendly

conversation.

So I said, "Why do you hate capitalism?"

And he said, "I hate capitalism because all they care about is they put the people to

work."

And I said, okay, let's take capitalism out.

Where do you work at right now?

He said, "I know where you're going with this."

Where do you work at?

He said, "I work at PF Changs."

I said, "What happens if PF Changs goes out of business?"

He said, I'll go work for another company.

I don't care about PF Changs."

I said, "You're going to go work for another capitalist.

What if that capitalist goes out of business?"

I'm going to go get another job, because I will always be needed.

I said, "Without the capitalists, you don't have a job.

So we had this friendly debate.

Fast forward six years later, literally nine months ago, this guy sends me a message saying,

you don't remember me.

Of course I remember him.

I have a pretty decent memory.

You won't remember me, but we debated six years ago when I was a communist and I just

want you to know I follow every single Valuetainment video, and I believe in capitalism.

Things have changed.

I'm 29 years old.

Back then I was 23 years old.

I said, okay, no problem.

But I had to figure out that that person had no problem with our product.

They had a problem with the belief system and although I can't change that, I heard

him out, we fixed it, we moved on from there.

The fourth type of complainers that you have that's become a very big business is an actual

enemy.

So what I mean by an enemy or a competitor, this has become a very, very big business.

Let me explain.

So here's a big gorilla, big guy, big company that's been doing a business and you're planning

on coming and taking a percentage of their business away from them, right?

You're an enemy.

You're a threat.

They don't like you.

You need to go out of business ASAP.

And so we started a company, and we're trying to take distribution away from some folks.

When I say distribution, the amount of life insurance that's being written, so we want

to start writing this business.

That didn't make a lot of people happy.

That ticked off a lot of people.

So all of a sudden, we got a floodgate, we got flooded with negative complaints online.

And you could tell, there was a lot of things being said that's inaccurate with details,

where you know somebody else was doing it and eventually we went and investigated it

and we realized what's going on with that.

And there's nothing we could do about it.

Here's why there's nothing we could do about it.

Because companies like Yelp, as much as I use Yelp as a customer to go figure out what

restaurants are out there and which restaurant to choose around the world, I don't like what

Yelp does to small business owners.

I'll tell you exactly what Yelp does to small business owners.

yelp will come up to you and they'll say, "If you advertise $6,000 a month, $5,000 a

month, we will give you a shot at putting out more positive reviews and all this other

stuff.

When they went public, they changed their script.

I'll never forget it because I spoke to one of their reps.

He said, Patrick, yes, we used to do that.

But we don't do that anymore because now we're public and we have so many different people

that have said that we did that and now we have to answer to that so all this stuff he

started telling me.

So I said the reality part of it is after some employees left Yelp, they started telling

us that this is what they're doing and that's a business nowadays.

They take small businesses that are frightened to go out of business and through fear, because

of a small restaurant being a three-star people will not go.

Their business drops by 20%, they ask you for $6000 a month.

So it's a legal, online Mafia type of thing if you want to call it like back in the days,

you know how people would come and say, hey, you got to pay me more taxes if you want to

do business.

It's something like that going on.

You got to figure out a way to work around that.

The reason you have to figure out a way to work around that is because eventually when

you earn saint status, none of that stuff matters.

And saint status takes about a decade, five years to ten years depending on the business

that you have to earn.

And once you earn saint status, this means when your positive experiences are just crushing

the negative comments that no one even pays attention to the negative comments any more.

You don't even think about Apple's negative comments.

You know how many negative comments Apple gets.

People still go to Apple.

You don't even care about Wal-Mart's negative complaints any more.

You know how many people work at Wal-Mart.

2.3 million people, 1.4 million in America.

I just got the update because last week I said 1.5 million, 2.2, it's 1.4 million in

America, 2.3 million around the world, 900,000 people around the world work for Wal-Mart,

even though they have more complaints than almost any other company in the world, they

also happen to be the biggest company in the world, top three biggest companies in the

world depending on the time.

Then the fifth one is the final one is the trolls.

Nowadays there's trolls.

Trolls has become a new thing, because this is a way for someone to get fame.

This is a way for someone to say oh my gosh, I'm going to go mess with this company because

I may get publicity and I may get picked up.

So it's become a business.

There's actually, you can go to sites that tell you how to be a professional troller.

It's hilarious.

We get some trolls sometimes on Valuetainment.

I had this one guy that trolled me one time.

I won't tell you what I told him, but he trolled me.

Paul is already laughing back there because, so this guy comes in, he starts trolling Valuetainment.

And then I go to his Facebook page, and on his Facebook Page, the most recent post he

posted, he said, "I'm in the mood to go troll some bigger brands."

This is on his Facebook Page!

So I took a screenshot and I said, "Let's have some fun."

Because if you want to have fun, I don't mind it.

Crap talking games.

I went at him pretty hard.

He deleted his comment and came back.

We had a fun time with it.

But trolls, I appreciate trolls because at least they're trying to become celebrities.

So don't take trolls too seriously.

They're actually fun to be dealing with.

So you have those five types of complainers.

Now let's talk about your business and how to handle these complaints.

First of all, depending on the type of a business you run, your volume of sales that come in

will dictate how many opportunities there are for people to complain with your product,

meaning if your volume of sales is high, there's more likelihood of you having complaints.

So for example, if I take 1,000 shots in a basketball game, vs. another guy that comes

in and only gets one shot in a basketball game, who has the higher likelihood of shooting

an air ball?

The guy that shoots 1,000 shots, or the guy that shoots one shot?

1,000 shots is going to get some air balls.

And air balls could be complaints, it could be a misplay, it could be something that happened

that you have to address.

So you've got to understand the business you've chosen to be a part of.

And if it's high volume, you're going to get more complaints.

Low volume, fewer complaints, and so it's simply on the way you do your business.

So now how you handle complains when you get them.

It's very simple.

#1: the most important thing before I tell you how to respond is the following.

Speed is your game.

Speed.

The complaint happens Tuesday.

If you get back to them by Friday, it's already too late.

Complaint happens at Tuesday, at 3:00 in the afternoon, if you have a system where you

get back to them within a day, that's better than Friday.

But if you have a way to get back to them immediately, because you get prompted with

a notification that somebody's not happy, you get back to them within an hour, that

means it matters to them.

So speed is your number one game of handling complaints.

#2 when it comes down to handling complaints is avoiding conflict.

If you avoid conflict, I guarantee you, you will constantly be getting complaints.

So let me tell you what type of brands I am extremely suspicious of.

I remember one time I sat down with a guy and he said, "I turned off all my comments

on YouTube."

I said, "Why?" he said, "Well, you know YouTube has a way for you to hide your number of subscribers

and hide your number of comments because no one will know how many subscribers you have

so you can kind of make it up and say how many you have, and no one will say the bad

things people are saying about you."

I said, "First of all, I want to hear the negative comments because I want to figure

out a way for sound is not good.

You know how many things we've improved on our brand because of how many Valuetainers

have told us the sound only comes from one ear.

Paul, how many times have you gotten a message where [Paul: Too many!].

Too many times, so Paul over here, he's got to figure that part out.

Or hey, you guys spelled Entrepreneur wrong.

We chose this word called entrepreneur and every time entre pre pre neur, pre neur, Paul,

pre neur, right?

So, hey, you misspelled entrepreneur.

Great.

We want to hear this stuff.

Brands that are too concerned about hiding all the negative comments, I'm very suspicious

about.

What are you hiding?

Who cares about negative comments?

No one's perfect.

See, we don't have a standard of perfection.

I want to hear about it.

Because I want to see what my audience is going to say about it so we can be held accountable

and we can improve.

So, don't avoid conflict.#3, you can't win them all.

That's for sure.

You cannot win them all.

And then four, I like the phones.

A lot of times people like to handle complaints with, what do you call it, just an email and

respond.

And that's great, that's a way you can do it.

But I love phones.

I can't tell you how many issues I've resolved in my life by simply picking up the phone

and just calling and saying, what is the problem that we have going on here?

Just last week I got an email from a CEO of a $40 billion company and there was a very

strange email.

So I responded back and I said, "hey, this is a strange email you sent me.

How about we get on a phone to clear this thing up."

He said, "You know what?

You're right.

Let's get on a call together."

We got on a call together and things got cleared up because what he thought happened was somebody

said to him that was absolutely inaccurate.

We got clarity.

He went and investigated.

He said, you're right.

This is exactly what happened.

Great.

We moved on.

I like handling issues immediately with a phone call.

Now let me tell you about how to respond.

When you get on the phone, or you send an email, or you respond, whatever it is, number

one, `thank them for taking time out of their schedule to critique your product, your company,

you, thank them.

The most valuable asset anybody has is time and if they took time to write you, and give

you feedback, let me tell you, that is more valuable than other people that are not willing

to do that because you don't matter to them that much.

it matters to them.

I was at PF Changs the other day.

I've been a customer of PF Changs, I've probably been to PF Changs 400 times in my life.

One of the reasons is because when I was at Woodland Hills, PF Changs was right across,

and then here, I got a waiter, a guy named Brian in Dallas I really like when I see him

in Vegas, and when I'm in Dallas, I got a waiter I really like.

I went to PF Changs the other day, yesterday, and I had a bit of a meltdown.

I was there with my wife and kids.

When I say meltdown, I know it.

So when we sat down, it took 21 minutes before water touched our table.

It took 48 minutes before appetizer touched our table, okay?

I called the manager and I saw the manager talking to another person, and they looked

at us and they still didn't come to talk to us.

They're not that busy.

This was 1:00, 1:30 on Sunday, traffic was already gone.

Then our waitress here kept avoiding us, and they kept going to other people because she

was handling this bill and she kept saying, "I'll come back, I'll come back."

Nine minutes from the moment she said that, she didn't come back, right?

Now let me tell you this here.

I am a valid complainer to PF Changs because I want to come back to PF Changs.

And I want them to resolve this because I love service.

Makes sense.

So I took the time to give feedback.

Now what the manager does with that is on them.

I may not go back on Sunday because I know the manager's going to be there on Sundays.

So number one is thank them.

# 2 is speak like a human being.

Have you ever done customer service with people where they speak to you and they're too scripted?

Well, thank you for the complaint that you have here, and I just want you to know that

it means a lot to us and all this stuff.

Listen.

Hey, John, I'm sorry, man.

I'm sorry about this experience.

Tell me about what happened.

Can you tell me a little bit more?

I really want to hear you out.

Yes, here's.

. . speak to them like a human being.

What happened?

This is what took place.

#3, apologize for the experience.

Acknowledge, be honest, and acknowledge, hey, we messed up here.

It sounds like we messed up.

Do you mind if I investigate a little bit more and get back to you?

Sure.

Hey, it's sounds like we're at fault here for what we did.

And I'm not happy about that.

Let me see what we can do about it.

Yes.

Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry that you experienced this.

Okay, So acknowledge it.

#5 remain calm.

I can tell you, many experience that I haven't remained calm, that sometimes and by the way,

almost every case that I didn't remain calm, didn't work in my favor.

I just want you to know this.

Almost every single case that I didn't remain calm hasn't worked in my favor.

And I've done that many times, and I had to learn to overcome that.

Now sometimes it may be the fact that I don't want that business any more.

And to me, it's a way to say, I don't want to do business with this person any more.

But it's still not an excuse to not handle people well because if you treat somebody

good, they tell three people.

If you treat somebody bad, they tell 11 people.

People like to spread bad experiences more than they like to spread good experiences.

It is what it is.

This is why media and CNN and Fox and MSNBC do so well because all they do is spread bad

news, and we share it with everybody.

Good news, there's not GNN yet.

You know why there's no GNN in the world?

Good News Network?

Because no one cares about good news.

People care about bad news, right?

So why don't these guys change their name from CNN to BNN - like Bad News Network instead

of CNN?

Okay.Hear them out.

Don't be defensive.

Hear them out what they have to say.

#7 is promise to improve.

Tell them, Listen, Hey, John, obviously I'm not happy about the fact that we made this

mistake because as the leader, as the CEO, as the executive, as the VP of this department,

as the whatever, this falls on me as the leader.

But I'm going to make one commitment to you.

We're going to get better at this.

And then offer a solution, Hey, would you be open if . . . Would you be open if we did

this.

I'm sorry this is our mistake, but I want to do you good.

Would you be open if we did.

. . Yes.

Great.

I don't want to pressure you, but would you be open to this?

I would be.

Invite them to return for a second chance.

And then follow up on the experience.

And if you do that.

Listen, we're forgiving.

For most people that have valid complaints, we're willing to get better.

We're willing to come back and give you a second chance.

We like second chances.

But you've got to do your part and pay attention to details because there's two different things

when it comes down to complaints.

I'll give you the short term problem and I'll give you the long-term problem.

Here's the short-term problem.

Say I handle this solution and the customer leaves happy.

But it was a valid issue.

If you don't go and fix that, you have a long-term problem.

Yes, this customer goes happy.

My long-term problem is sitting down my staff and saying, "Why do we keep making this same

old mistake?"

I don't mind new mistakes.

As the company grows, you're going to make new mistakes which leads to new complaints,

right?

Like all of a sudden you come out with a department that is doing this and some people are not

happy.

Well, this is a new mistake.

It's a new complaint.

We've got to figure out a protocol to make this better.

But same old mistakes, same old complaints?

You know, if I go to a restaurant and the complaint is always this place smells so bad

because the toilet is not cleaned very well, there was a sushi spot I would go to.

It was amazing sushi, but the bathroom was so bad that if you were within 4 tables of

it, I'm like, "Why don't you guys clean the bathroom better and use a different detergent?

I can't stand this smell!

They didn't do anything about it over a year.

And I love this place, because they would do a great job with sushi.

That smell alone got me to leave the place and not come back.

So, pay attention to it.

It's extremely important.

It's by far your best critics, your customers will give you so much feedback to improve

your company, increase the value of the company, if you hear them out.

So, with that being said, Paul, we don't have a pillow here.

Why don't you just throw me a pillow.

I'm in the mood for any kind of a pillow.

Let's see what pillow Paul's going to throw us.

We're at a hotel room here in Caesars Palace.

It's crazy.

Let's see what this pillow looks like.

Okay.

Hey.

Should we write something on this pillow?

Should we do like graffiti?

And like be charged 80 bucks.

We don't have the marker to do it.

if I did, I would do it.

You know what.

Let me see if this pillow's a little bit - look at this pillow.

Look at this pillow.

This is a very, very nice classy pillow from Italy that only today if you call them right

now, 1-800-softpillow, we will sell this to you for $99 and if you call in the next 10

minutes.

Easter Week: Tuesday - JellyTelly 5 Minute Family Devotional - Duration: 2:41.

Welcome to the JellyTelly 5 Minute Family Devotional

Let's learn about Easter week!

Tuesday

Today's verse is Matthew 13:31.

The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed

The Kingdom of God,

when everything broken will be set right,

is already here - but not yet fully grown!

It's like a seed that has sprouted,

but hasn't yet bloomed into a flower.

You're saying the Kingdom of God is like a seed?

Actually that's what Jesus said.

He said the Kingdom of God is like a mustard seed.

Wait, mustard has seeds?

No, mustard is made from seeds -

the seeds of the mustard plant.

That's right. The seeds of a mustard plant

are teeny tiny little guys -

but they grow into a plant that can be huge -

as big as a small house!

Jesus was saying that the Kingdom of God

would start very small,

like a tiny seed.

His own miracles were like

tiny little green stems popping out of the ground -

the very beginning of something big.

And then in the fullness of time -

you remember that phrase?

I do! God's perfect timing!

Right. In the fullness of time,

the Kingdom of God will explode in full bloom -

renewing and restoring God's creation

to be the way he designed it to be in the beginning!

Let's review today's verse!

Matthew 13:31

The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed

Let's talk. What did we learn?

What kind of seed did Jesus say God's Kingdom will be like?

Why did he choose that seed?

Let's pray together.

Let's ask God to show us ways we can serve in his kingdom.

How do I decide on a name for my aesthetic clinic? - Duration: 1:42.

how do you choose the best name for you

and your clinic not as easy

it sounds slightly more complicated and

needs a little bit of thought okay

what's the simplest thing? Simplest thing

it's call yourself by your name so

Adrian Richards co uk you can buy your

own domain name and you can easily check

whether it's available on the Internet

they're descriptive terms which have

their benefit so for instance the

Hampshire skin clinic tells you where

you are and what you do okay so if

anyone's looking to skin treatments you're

likely to appear particularly if they

do "skin treatment in Hampshire" on their

Google search so descriptive titles are

good many people

have more aspirational titles so for

instance Aurora clinics doesn't

particularly tell you what you do but
