Top 4 U.S. Cities For Growing a Business (Personal Experience) 🌇 - Duration: 3:56.
- Over the past two years,
I've lived in a lot of different cities,
maybe a couple dozen cities all around the world
and today I wanna talk about
how moving from different cities changes your outlook
and I wanna characterize a few cities,
go through some stuff that I've learned.
The main takeaway from this video
is that you can change your vibe by changing your city,
you can change your outlook
by changing the people that are around you
and you can get closer to your goals
by just moving locations.
First city I wanna talk about is New York.
It's the first place I moved to after college.
The reason why I moved to New York City
from Naples, Florida
is because I was emailing people in Naples
to try to get clients for my startup
and was receiving almost no responses.
I got a couple responses but almost nothing
and sometimes, in order to make something
happen in your life,
you have to move to the place where that thing is happening.
I wanted to be in startups.
So that meant I either had to be in San Francisco
or New York.
What I learned from New York
is there's a lot of networking events
and there's a lot of opportunities.
I was sending cold emails
from the day that I moved to New York.
I was in China for a month before that
and two weeks from the day that I moved there, I had a job.
That's how fast things move in the city.
It's no joke, the hustle in New York is real.
The only downside to New York for startups
versus somewhere like San Francisco
is because New York is cheaper than San Francisco
and it's also near all these other states
like people can drive in from Connecticut,
they can come in from New Jersey,
there's a lot more fake businesses
and a lot more fake startups at the networking events.
San Francisco on the other hand is pitch city.
The entire time I was there I was going to networking events
and selling and being sold to.
The opportunity in San Francisco
is about the same as the opportunity in New York
but what I found is because San Francisco
is such an expensive city,
there's a lot less fake startups there
and let me know in the comments
if you found different for San Francisco
but the quality of the businesses
especially if you're in SaaS
which I was back then is tremendous.
There there's Las Vegas
which is the city I moved to directly after New York
and Las Vegas so far has been one of the most helpful
startup cities and the reason why they do this
I think is because their startup culture is weak
and they know it but to give you an example
of how helpful Las Vegas is,
I had met 10 of the top entrepreneurs there
just by sending them emails, we met for coffee.
I ran into Vegas's biggest entrepreneur, Tony Hsieh
just chilling at a bar within the first couple days
in downtown Vegas and actually met Vegas's mayor
at a tech startup event.
So while the economic opportunity
isn't really there in Vegas,
the people there were incredibly helpful
and now I've been out in Los Angeles
for the last couple months
and the vibe here is completely different.
It kinda feels like a retirement home.
A lot of people are walking around
and I don't really know how people are making money.
In New York, when you meet somebody, you'll shake their hand
and the first question is what do you do?
In LA, almost nobody asks that question
and I think it's because there's so many people
that are fake actors or fake whatever
but they're actually waiters.
They don't actually make money and they're embarrassed by it
especially in the entertainment space
which is what we're digging into in this new company.
Also in LA, there's been a lot more meetings
with no outcomes.
In New York, almost every time you have a meeting
with somebody, there's some reason for the meeting
and there's some outcome like some output
whether it's a proposal or new business opportunity
or something.
In LA, I found that more people
are likely to take coffee meetings
just for the sake of getting out of the office.
Those are my top four cities.
If you're stuck out in the middle of the country
like I was out in Wichita for about six months
removed from everyone,
sometimes that's good to be completely isolated
'cause it lets you focus 100% on your business
but if you really wanna get things going,
every time I've been in a major city,
I've seen major jumps in the business.

McDonald's Issues New Chicken Welfare Standards For Suppliers - Duration: 2:30.
Recently, McDonald's announced eight commitments to source chickens raised with improved welfare
across the globe.
The move requires suppliers to follow new standards for raising and slaughtering chickens
served in its restaurants.
The guidelines apply to all of its chicken suppliers, and promote welfare standards like
access to perches, clean coops, and pen-to-plate monitoring to make sure that birds aren't
injured during their growth.
Over the years, animal rights groups, including PETA have protested fast food chains like
KFC, Chick-Fil-A, Burger King, Wendy's, and McDonald's to advocate for
more humane treatment of chickens raised for food.
By requiring suppliers to follow the new standards, McDonald's is acknowledging the political
views of at least some of their consumers, and attempting to make their brand more appealing.
Bruce Feinberg, a senior Director for McDonald's said that the move "might help certain segments
of our customer base make purchasing decisions that they might not have otherwise made."
The new standards are more than simply an attempt to grow sales, however.
As the Managing Director of a company that helps organizations to unlock the power of
procurement, I often help organizations to use their procurement process to advance corporate
social responsibility goals.
And, indeed, a McDonald's statement on the new regulations says that "As one of the
world's largest food companies, we aim to use our scale as an opportunity to achieve
impactful change on key societal issues, and we will continue to collaborate with our suppliers,
franchisees and employees to achieve real impact."
Of course, making policy changes in an organization the size of McDonald's takes some time – and
the restaurant has given its suppliers until 2024 to implement the required changes.
And so it will be interesting to see how these commitments grow and evolve over the coming
years.
Yet, I salute McDonald's in their use of their massive purchasing power and supply
chain to effect social change on an issue that's important to them.
But I'm also curious to hear your views.
How do you feel about McDonald's new announcement?
Where in your own professional career have you seen organizations use their procurement
practices to effect political change?
I've created a blog posting for this topic on LinkedIn and would love for you to share
your thoughts and experiences in the comments section there.

Let's improve the flow of blood and lymph, which tends to be pooled in the lower body.
Push the ceiling with the sole of the feet.
Push with the heels.
Stretch the outer calves and thighs,
Relax the toes and turn ankles.
Again, push the ceiling with the feet.
Stay in this pose. Keep breathing.
If it is hard to keep lifting the leg, you could use the wall for support.
In fact, that is more relaxing.
Now, shake your legs and hands to release.
Give gentle kick to both legs.
Hug your knees to the chest, relax.
All right, that was the yoga for tired leg.
How was it?
I hope you feel relaxed and relieved from any tensions around lower body.
We are going to upload more videos for you.
So try it in your spare time.

Viennese Café - Eating Austrian Cake and Coffee for Breakfast in Vienna, Austria - Duration: 9:26.
Well good morning good morning again from Vienna (Wien).
It is a Monday morning and it is actually our last day in this beautiful city.
It is not even our last day.
It is our last hours.
Last hours.
We're going to be leaving in just a few hours to Bratislava but yeah.
Yeah, we thought we'd show you take you guys to a more local cafe.
We kind of showed you what a fancy and famous one looks like but we haven't taken you into
a local one so we're going to do that today.
Correction.
It is actually Sunday.
Haha.
We were wondering why it is so quiet.
How could it be so quiet it is like no one woke up to go to work today.
Haha.
Sunday guys.
So now the question is will our coffee shop be open on a Sunday?
Are you feeling confident?
I have no idea.
It is pretty quiet and the thing is like when we get the day wrong we are always researching
the hours for that day we were assuming it so we didn't check for Sunday at all.
I don't know.
It is going to be a surprise.
So we have made it to the cafe and thankfully it was open and it is a good thing because
I was feeling pretty hangry.
Like this is breakfast happening right here.
So the place is called Aida and it has been around since 1913 so my goodness over a 100
years.
I imagine they've had plenty of time to perfect their pastries, their coffees, their cakes.
So for my drink I got the Aida Melange so this is an espresso with steamed milk and
whipped cream that I have since you know mixed into the cup.
Exactly.
And I also ordered that too.
Haha.
Mmmm.
It just sounded so good.
Cream.
Yes, please.
Yes, please.
That is quite nice.
Oh, and have I mentioned everything here is pink.
Yep.
Everything.
Everything.
The menus.
The cakes.
The waitresses uniform.
The chairs.
It is all pink.
Everything looks pretty in pink over here.
Pretty in pink.
Haha.
Alright Sam.
Alright I'm going to try the coffee.
Sam the man.
The melange.
Mmmm.
How is that melange?
The melange is so good with like that cream and stuff.
It is for me I don't need to add sugar.
Yeah.
I need the sugar.
Because the espresso is pretty strong.
That is how good it is.
At least for my tastebuds.
The espresso is strong.
And so someone ordered the Schinkenröllen.
So this is really neat because it is basically like a ham slice and then inside of it, it
looks like it appears to be some cream cheese.
Yeah.
And some chives and then bread.
So I'm just going to take a bite like this and a bite of bread.
I have no idea how to eat it.
You're not going to spread it.
I guess I could but I'm not going to.
Mmmm.
Just love it all mixed in your mouth.
Mmmm.
That is the lazy way.
Mmmm.
What do you think?
It is really good cream cheese.
Yeah?
Yeah.
And then you know?
A ham and cream cheese sandwich goes well together and add a little bit of bread.
I have to say I've never seen ham served that way as a roll.
No, I haven't either.
I haven't either and like that is something we just spontaneously ordered by looking you
know at the very visible menu on display.
And I just took a look at that and I'm like I want something a little bit savory to go
along with our cake.
So I'm like yeah let's give it a shot.
And it was good.
Okay, here we go so I'm going to take actually I'm not going to eat your half bitten piece
of bread.
I'm going to grab a new slice.
We each get our own then huh?
Spread some of this.
Oh come on.
This is how it is done the proper way.
This is how we do it.
dun dun dun.
I also think it is kind of weird it has this like gel like gelatin on the ham.
Not a huge fan.
That is probably just to preserve it.
Alright.
That would be my guess.
Let's see.
Oh, also something I want to add is we've really enjoyed being able to eat outside at
restaurants and cafes.
It is just cool like taking in the vibe of the street and it is like we're right on the
cusp on not being able to do that because it is almost too cold.
I know.
Enjoy it while you can.
Enjoy it while you can.
There we go let's see what this is all about.
It is interesting.
It is like a cold cut sandwich.
It just reminds me of lunch in high school.
Pack your own sandwich.
Pack your own sandwich.
Yeah, it is very simple.
It is very simple.
Mozart Cake.
Mozart cake.
Alright, so for something sweet I'm just going to read it off the menu because too many ingredients.
I ordered the original Mozart Torte Wien.
So the original Viennese Mozart Cake.
And it is described as a dark sponge filled with the finest nougat and pistachio marzipan
encased in a light chocolate fondant icing.
There is a lot going on here.
That sounds pretty good.
I like fondant icing.
That is like poetry.
I like chocolate.
Yeah, there is a lot of stuff you like so.
Oooh.
It looks thick.
Look at the filling.
The filling is so thick.
it is like thicker than the cake itself.
Yeah.
Mmmmm.
Good stuff.
Oh yeah?
That made up for the sandwich you didn't like so much.
Yeah.
Haha.
This is way better.
I think you'll be keying in on the sweets.
That sandwich is probably all mine.
Oh my gosh.
The best part is the icing fondant.
Like that always reminds me of wedding cakes.
Yeah.
I just love it.
So much.
Mmmmm.
So I get to try a bit of this too.
Oh my gosh.
This is my favorite so far.
That is so thick.
Mmmmm.
Oh man.
The best way I can describe that is just like that is irresistibly decadent.
And now I'm going to take the little mozart chocolate.
I think that might be marzipan base.
The green part.
Mmmm.
Yeah.
So if you had to choose between the Mozart cake and the Sacher Torte.
I like Mozart Cake more.
Mozart cake best?
Absolutely.
It is way sweeter.
It is much sweeter.
It is just more inline with the types of cakes I like.
Mmmhmm.
Yeah, it is really good.
Oh, and the marzipan is very sweet.
Haha.
Delayed onset.
And up next Sam ordered topfenstrudel.
Topfenstrudel so basically this is like strudel, a pastry with Austrian cheese in the middle.
Yeah, it looks like a cream cheese.
Yeah, it is basically what you'd normally have on a cheesecake kind of filling.
Mmmmm.
Oh man.
I really like that.
Yeah?
Yeah.
This would be you know what?
This would be so good with apfelstrudel (apple strudel) like if you combined them together.
Oh oh you're getting fancy.
Yeah, a little bit of apple strudel and a little bit of topfenstrudel together in the
same bite.
That would be magic.
Absolute magic.
And last but not least.
And last but not least I'm like off staring.
What is going on down there.
What's going on?
Um, cake.
Last but not least.
More cake.
I'm going to try.
It is starting to get a little livelier on these streets now.
More traffic, more people walking by.
Yeah.
It is not like ghost town Vienna.
Haha.
When we left the apartment this morning.
Mmmm.
Isn't that nice?
I like that a lot.
Yeah, it is good.
Wow.
Yeah, it is really good.
I think if I had to choose between apple and cheese I'd go for the cheese again.
Yep.
Urgh.
Just look at you spilling it all over the place.
It is just like a nice sweet, fluffy cheese it kind of reminds me a bit of cottage cheese
though I'm sure it is something else.
Yeah.
Yeah, this is good.
Good choice Sam.
Yeah, so definitely in terms of the verdict for what we had the sweets definitely dominate
over the one savory item.
And Mozart Cake was my favorite.
Yep.
Mozart Cake for the win.
Mmmm.
If you guys come here definitely get the Mozart Cake.
Trust us on this one.
Time for price point at Aida.
Yeah, so in terms of the price point that came to 17.30 and that was for the two coffees
and the three food items.
So yeah, it was definitely more affordable than some of the more touristy and famous
cafes and it was just really nice.
It was really cool coming on a Sunday when it was nice and relaxed outside so yeah nice
way for us to end our time in Vienna (Wien) and now we're off to Bratislava.
Tata.
Tata.

very very very very useful tool that helps people grow their YouTube channel
it is an excellent tool to grow your YouTube channel and I'll show you how so
the first thing you need to do is go into the description box down below and
download to buddy I have the link for tubebuddy calm slash creators down below
in the description so you just need to click that link and it will redirect you
to this page after you're on this page you want to click install free for
chrome so once you have pressed on that button you will be redirected to this
page where it says tube buddy for YouTube all you want to do is click on
add to chrome and once you have clicked on I had to come it'll say add extension
just press on that and it will start downloading to body for your Chrome
browser you need to have a Chrome browser or para browser or a Firefox
browser for this to work as to buddy only works on these three browsers so
now once you have to but install we want to click cross this one out and then you
want to go on to youtube.com and once you're on youtube.com you'll see this
new icon which says which is the tube buddy icon and it says to buddy sign in
required click here so you want to click here and then sign in with YouTube to
tubebuddy now just go ahead and select your YouTube channel so I'm going to
choose creators tutorials and once you have soaked tutorials just press on
creators tutorials once again and then click on allow and once you have clicked
allow it will redirect you to YouTube where you will have access to the
tubebuddy plugin once you have successfully signed in with tubebuddy
you want to click on this tube buddy icon and i'll share with you some of the
powerful features that two buddy will give you and also in the end of this
video i will give you a power tip on how you can use two buddy to really really
really explode your YouTube channel in a really powerful way so once you have
clicked on the button you will see this dialogue page where you can select all
of these options you have so many options here
the first option I want to show you guys is the tag Explorer or you can research
topics and tags for your YouTube videos so it can rank high on the youtube
search or get suggested out to similar videos ranking on search and this can be
really powerful so let's say I want to make a video about OBS tutorial so as
you can see it gives me the most used tags it will give me the top ranking in
search those keywords score and the overall score of that keyword
I'm gonna walk you through the basic features of tubebuddy and how it can
help you to grow your YouTube channel okay the most used tags are the tags
that are used by the ranked videos on youtube search you can use these text to
get into suggested videos of those ranked videos so you can use them and
you can see there's only three texts that's showing up but there are 203 tags
in total so to see every single two hundred and three tags you want to
purchase to buddy you want to get their pro legendary or star license so you can
get the full advantage of tubebuddy I would highly recommend if you make any
sort of income on YouTube or if you will make any sort of income anywhere and you
have an income stream I highly highly suggest you to buy the tubebuddy
subscription because it will help you grow your YouTube channel in a
tremendous amount so once you're on the most you set and it will show you the
top ranking in search and these are the top ranking videos on search and the
channels that are ranking and then you have the keyword score now I wouldn't
look at the keyword score I don't think the keyword score is really accurate but
the overall score is you see it's poor because it's more competitiveness of
search volume that's the summary tab and you could go into the training tab to
see rising related Curie's now this is powerful you can use them as tags or
video topics to cover as they are rising and they're at a breakout as you can see
this topic is in a breakup so you use them as a tag to rank on youtube search
or you can use it as a title that cook is more powerful which will help you
boost your rankings on youtube search and once after that there is auto
suggest that now auto suggested is one of the main features of tubebuddy
now you can do this with the free version as well but I would highly
recommend you buy subscription plan but let's go to on with the video so as you
can see although Auto suggested is the artist register on
YouTube and Google and this is very powerful if you make a video on obvious
tutorial you want to use these phrases as text because they're really relevant
tags and YouTube says YouTube gives you an auto suggestion that means those
tanks are really relevant and the YouTube algorithm cares about relevancy
in the search results and also in suggested video you want to use these
tags when you're making a video about obvious tutorial can boost your rankings
in the youtube search now that after that there is a historical tag which
gives you a brief general trend of what a video topic and how its performing
over the time and we really don't mean to look at the map because it's just
showing the locations and the results tab is just the results when you type in
obvious tutorial on the youtube search so that's for tag explorer there's
another feature of tags which is the suggestion tag feature on YouTube buddy
so once you go to your channel which is I'm just going to go to my creator
studio when you go to your creator studio and then you go here and then you
click information settings now once you go on to your video you can see that my
tags are being ranked now this is another cool feature that you body
allows you and that is you can see where your ranking for certain tags so I'm
ranking a number 15 for how to block YouTube channels and if I switch that up
I'll get I'll be in the number 15 position of the YouTube search for how
to block YouTube channels now your search rankings will improve or cross
times but for now it's ranking at number 15 and I'll show you with all tags and
if you don't see a green number on next to your tag so that means the tag or
that phrase isn't ranking for any search term for your video and after you scroll
it down a little bit you'll see the tag tools and in the tags tools you see
suggest and here and suggest you can see all the suggestions that tubebuddy gives
you for search and related now search means how you can optimize for youtube
search and as you can see the eye icon says that the views received from the
search term in YouTube and the tags is the top similar top ranking videos that
are using these tags and you can just click this plus icon to add that tag to
your video and as you can see this or the search so just that for graded tags
so you could come up in the suggestion bar for your related videos now as you
can see it says how to disable you how did the sable just a bit more on
YouTube but this video is not about how to disable use restricted mode on
YouTube it's about how to block YouTube channels so you gotta be really logical
and how you want to fit tags this side would be more logical than this side
because this side it looks at your top ranking videos and the top phrases
you're ranking for and then it gives you a rule ID tag so you could come up in
the related videos of those videos for me this video is not related to how to
disable restricted mode on YouTube so I'm not gonna have that tag but I will
consider adding these tags but for now I'm gonna leave it now - buddy also has
another amazing feature that I love and that's adding custom thumbnails to your
YouTube videos and giving you a thumbnail generator now if you click
here which says create thumbnail which optionally you wouldn't have if you
hadn't installed - but you know so - buddy has a lot of great features I'm
gonna share with you the powerful tip that I use with - buddy after this
feature and I'm just gonna click on create thumbnail and here you could
select the background image or still frame from your video and then once you
have done that you could select the layers you want to put so I'm just gonna
take for example I'm gonna select um I'm gonna select this frame okay so I'm
gonna select this point and I'm gonna press on continue I'm just going to
giving you a quick rundown you can add shapes to it I want to add
this shape so I'm seeing sort of that and then add and here you could drag it
and you know you could just be like oh okay and you can just you know place it
here and then you could add another shape and then like you know you can add
another shape and then just click add and then okay and then you could add
text where it says oh my god or something like that right add that so
it's really good you need to like you know spend time obviously to make these
thumbnails but it it's pretty cool that you have a free thumbnail generator
within YouTube and you could press continue to make that thumbnail as your
public custom coming up but I'm not gonna do that because you know something
life already have is much better than that one and if you spend more time on
that great thumbnail generator option on the - body I will guarantee we'll get
more views because you will have a custom thumbnail that would attract
people now the feature and the power tip I was talking about is when you go into
video manager so I'm just gonna go into video manager now this
how tip comes from their leaves and this is strategy I used to grow my child to
channel exponentially okay so you could grow YouTube channel very very fast
using this strategy and it's all about two button okay so you learn I want to
before I give you this power tip I want you to understand the concept of view
velocity okay so the view velocity is you didn't get more views or get of high
number of views in the 24 hours then the other videos you published YouTube will
suggest that video to the video library that you have and to the related
channels the channel clusters that your channel has so okay so it will suggest
those videos to the channel clusters and to your library of your videos which
will drive even insane amount of views okay so this strategy works something
like this you want to change all of your videos in screen elements and point to
that latest upload which you want to promote okay so once you have that huge
influx of in screen elements views coming to that one particular lady's
uploaded video you will get more views in this book that 24 hours than the rest
of your video you too will promote that video exponentially and it will get
across the board like that video will just pop okay that video will be
suggested to everywhere okay it'll be suggest to the related channel
channels it will be suggested to you the library of your videos and that video is
really good YouTube will switch and go to browse feature whether the video is
so just to cross all of YouTube and that's when the video gets viral okay to
change all of your in screen elements you could use tupid and I'm going to
show you how and you can build the tubebuddy calm slash creators to just
get to buddy and use this technique and that is an affiliate link by the way I
have to warn you use for something and warning alert that is don't use this
every single time you may upload a latest video don't do this every single
time when you like when you're like I put a lot of time and energy into this
video I don't want this video to get seen by more people because it's gonna
bring me more audience and I think this in gate engages with people in a more
personal manner that's when you do it you don't do it for every single video I
would recommend you to do it for once a month which Derral Eve's told me and you
know I've been doing this strategy and I've seen my views just go up okay this
be this strategy is say and I really get so excited when I
share the strategy and you know you could do it with simply too buddy now if
you have thousand videos and you want to change the in screen of all those videos
it would take you hours and hours and hours and hours of work but with two
buddy it just takes you 15 minutes and you're done and you could do this so you
all you have to do is go into YouTube to buy this book copy and screen feature
and then you want to select all of your own screens and then I'm gonna press on
continue and then you want to select all of your videos now it's good see you can
select all of your videos because and I can so now you have to sell all of your
videos and press them all and then you have once you so you have to press on
all and then press on continue but you can't do it without buying the you the
subscription plan I already bought it on my subscription can ended so you know
you I'm gonna renew it anyway so I'm going to renew that subscription plan
and I highly recommend you to get that subscription plan and use this power tip
so you can grow your channel exponentially so I'm going to teach you
the strategy okay so you want to go onto this tube by the icon and then you want
to go to game screen and then you want press on copy okay so once you press
down copy it will load you up with your in screens okay so you want to click on
select all and then you want to press on continue and then you want to select all
of your videos and then you go for some continue and then you want to press M
select all and then you impress on continue I'm done then that would have
taken a manpower of hours and hours and hours where you can just do it in five
minutes and you're done with you buddy it's an awesome feature we need to check

Fought for, Forgotten - Duration: 6:57.
We are going to rebuild this country and ensure that every forgotten community
has the bright future it deserves. And by the way, those communities are forgotten no longer.
[Donald Trump speech compilation] Our economy is now strong –
– thousands of jobs
– renegotiating trade deals
– and businesses are more optimistic than ever before.
[news compilation] The front line of climate change and sea level rise,
a place where the coast is washing away at an amazing rate.
Rising water could swallow more land if nothing is done to address damage caused by
climate change and commercial activity.
Louisianans say it's time to stop talking about the
problem and actually start doing something about it.
Narrator: Southern Louisiana has lost on average a football field of land every hour
between 1932 and 2010. And sea level rise isn't letting up anytime soon.
But as wetlands are disappearing, so is an industry that's vital to the bayou's way of life.
At one time in this community, if you didn't work in the oil field, you worked in the shrimp industry.
Yeah, go ahead and run it.
For generations, David Chauvin's family made a good living catching shrimp.
Right out of high school, I was a commercial fisherman.
This is more than something that you do for a living.
It's a heritage. This is a culture.
But over time, David and his wife, Kim, have seen that culture threatened.
When Iook around here, I see a lot of change.
When we have high abundance of imports, that just depresses the price.
What I think is the No. 1 thing that has changed this industry?
Imports.
Kim and David say everything changed for their community around 2000
after then-President Bill Clinton signed the China trade bill into effect.
This bill slashed Chinese tariffs on a wide range of farm and industrial products coming into the U.S.
Imported shrimp could now be priced significantly lower
than those of U.S. domestic shrimpers.
As a result, Louisiana shrimping communities took a hit.
There were so many people that lost everything, from boats, to houses,
vehicles, jobs, everything.
It was more important to import shrimp into this country for people to make a
quick buck than it was to keep somebody that provides so much in this community.
I mean, we came in on a 70 – 70-footer with a boatload of shrimp
and made nothing to the crew share that year.
And my husband said, "No, no, no. Something's wrong with this picture."
It was only because of the resiliency of the people
that live here that we were able to still keep going.
[on phone] Yeah, what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna call and get some current prices
and base my selling price on that.
No, I'm glad you put that bug in my ear. Well, I thought Trump bailed out of the Paris agreement.
I thought – I figured they would have gone the opposite way.
Narrator: Now, Kim and David hold out hope for their industry.
Hey, write him a check for this, sweetie.
They lobby in Washington, D.C., every year for a border tax on imports,
the appointment of a seafood trade negotiator and other demands.
This year, they say things felt different under the Trump administration.
There was a lot of hope when we went because of his "America First" part.
Donald Trump: From now on, it's going to be
America first.
[montage] America first, America will be first again.
It's kind of changed our way
of thinking that we're doomed.
While there's hope that Trump's trade policies
will revive coastal Louisiana communities, the Trump administration has
also proposed devastating rollbacks to Louisiana coastal protections.
East of Kim and David's seafood company is Montegut, Louisiana,
where community members have gathered to discuss another issue that's threatening the bayous:
coastal erosion.
We want to have a conversation, and that conversation is
centered around what you all believe is the future of your – your community, your
parish and your state as a whole.
If you know of issues where there is regular flooding,
put a purple circle on that.
All these bays and lakes and everything, they're all gone.
Their names are gone. They pulled them off the maps 'cause they no longer exist.
I hate to say it, but that's what I see for us in 50 years.
If they start flooding more times, all these people are going to move out of here.

The Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act would have
helped to combat coastal erosion.
Signed into law by former President George W. Bush in 2006,
the law shared offshore oil and gas revenue across the Gulf states.

repeals the act and strips Louisiana of funding that would have gone toward
saving the state's sinking coastline.
I see the lake creeping in to some people's backyards. That's a little scary
because I don't know what it's gonna be for my grandchildren. Twenty, 30 years
from now, I hope and pray – I would think that there's still going to be an industry.
Yeah, tell her – tell [unintelligable] put more ice next time.
We are a forgotten part of the country.
If the United States could recognize how vital south Louisiana is to the nation, we would be better off for it.
