hey Andy how it's going good how are you

0:00:06.600,0:00:16.830

good I'm seeing a black screen and for

0:00:15.540,0:00:21.779

some reason the audios being piped

0:00:16.830,0:00:27.150

through you know are you input should be

0:00:21.779,0:00:29.640

my my camera does on the pair of B let

0:00:27.150,0:00:36.480

me try turning it off and back on again

0:00:29.640,0:00:40.670

I know you have a call so for those of

0:00:36.480,0:00:43.440

you joining us on YouTube and our

0:00:40.670,0:00:45.989

Facebook live page Andy and I are doing

0:00:43.440,0:00:49.039

an experiment and what's data science

0:00:45.989,0:00:53.489

without experiments right Andy so true

0:00:49.039,0:00:55.980

so how's my audio your audios awesome

0:00:53.489,0:01:00.469

okay could you hear

0:00:55.980,0:01:05.700

all right I've turned my camera on main

0:01:00.469,0:01:07.680

using the app that came with it so the

0:01:05.700,0:01:10.350

software that we were explaining for

0:01:07.680,0:01:14.220

folks and for you Andy I'll bring our

0:01:10.350,0:01:18.960

listeners into this the image we haven't

0:01:14.220,0:01:20.790

started three years ago plus or minus a

0:01:18.960,0:01:27.229

few weeks we wanted to hold off on the

0:01:20.790,0:01:30.060

celebrations for a number of reasons and

0:01:27.229,0:01:33.840

we originally envisioned this show to

0:01:30.060,0:01:37.110

become a video podcast so technology and

0:01:33.840,0:01:40.770

costs have come down that if Sumi Annie

0:01:37.110,0:01:45.360

gets his camera going we will be able to

0:01:40.770,0:01:49.770

do there we go I see yeah I am here I

0:01:45.360,0:01:53.250

found the Settings button awesome so

0:01:49.770,0:01:58.229

this is good this is good so we have the

0:01:53.250,0:01:59.219

ability now to kind of do something more

0:01:58.229,0:02:01.350

long a lot to think what we were

0:01:59.219,0:02:03.719

originally envisioned so as awesome as

0:02:01.350,0:02:05.520

you may think the show has been we

0:02:03.719,0:02:08.929

actually had even we had even grander

0:02:05.520,0:02:11.489

plans so this is just an experiment

0:02:08.929,0:02:12.770

might even put this live on the feed is

0:02:11.489,0:02:14.420

kind of like a

0:02:12.770,0:02:17.300

call it a data point how about that Andy

0:02:14.420,0:02:18.860

I like it I like that a lot because the

0:02:17.300,0:02:21.770

advantage is that because I'm using a

0:02:18.860,0:02:24.110

product called restream that I can pipe

0:02:21.770,0:02:25.340

two different output so this is actually

0:02:24.110,0:02:28.190

going to Frank's world TV YouTube

0:02:25.340,0:02:31.400

channel our Facebook live feed and

0:02:28.190,0:02:35.180

because of the magic of automation this

0:02:31.400,0:02:38.930

is also going to be I'm actually going

0:02:35.180,0:02:41.360

to once this ends will see that it

0:02:38.930,0:02:45.530

should pick up the arm the video feed

0:02:41.360,0:02:47.570

from Facebook and then pipe that into an

0:02:45.530,0:02:50.870

mp3 file which should be ready for

0:02:47.570,0:02:56.180

upload to the scene so again it's data

0:02:50.870,0:02:57.490

science right in data magic it's not

0:02:56.180,0:03:01.400

science

0:02:57.490,0:03:03.890

I told that to customers a lot like you

0:03:01.400,0:03:05.690

know it's ok to fail because it's called

0:03:03.890,0:03:09.740

data science it's not in Dean in the

0:03:05.690,0:03:11.660

perfection so you know and and silently

0:03:09.740,0:03:13.700

calling it science what you say well it

0:03:11.660,0:03:19.010

failed but you know we weren't sure it

0:03:13.700,0:03:20.600

was gonna work so it's kind of so how's

0:03:19.010,0:03:23.270

it going I know you have a call in like

0:03:20.600,0:03:27.380

five minutes but yeah it's I'm I'm

0:03:23.270,0:03:29.150

waiting on someone and if they if they

0:03:27.380,0:03:32.000

don't show up that that's ok they're

0:03:29.150,0:03:34.010

busy it's a regular call with with

0:03:32.000,0:03:37.190

someone who subcontracts with me and

0:03:34.010,0:03:39.620

he's older but he is a data scientist as

0:03:37.190,0:03:42.140

well and he sometimes gets distracted

0:03:39.620,0:03:43.550

heads down that's why you pinged me

0:03:42.140,0:03:45.080

about five minutes till the call I was

0:03:43.550,0:03:46.280

like well I got a call in five minutes

0:03:45.080,0:03:50.510

five let's do it

0:03:46.280,0:03:53.180

I was upstairs drinking coffee when I

0:03:50.510,0:03:55.310

messaged you and I'm glad you did

0:03:53.180,0:03:56.810

this is our oh I like this Frank this is

0:03:55.310,0:04:01.370

you're right this is our vision that's

0:03:56.810,0:04:02.960

why we registered data-driven dot TV so

0:04:01.370,0:04:04.700

okay there's another reason we want to

0:04:02.960,0:04:07.340

register theirs right there's a reason

0:04:04.700,0:04:08.930

why we're distr dot TV but the real

0:04:07.340,0:04:13.340

reason we didn't do coms because it was

0:04:08.930,0:04:16.460

taken so well there was that full

0:04:13.340,0:04:18.020

transparency minor and convenience minor

0:04:16.460,0:04:19.670

inconvenience I turned it into a

0:04:18.020,0:04:21.950

potential opportunity to make it into a

0:04:19.670,0:04:25.070

video podcast but the and

0:04:21.950,0:04:28.010

look here we are so don't give up on

0:04:25.070,0:04:29.450

your dreams kids that's right no things

0:04:28.010,0:04:33.200

are things are going good here today

0:04:29.450,0:04:35.170

Franco a little busy it's um it's an

0:04:33.200,0:04:38.900

interesting time to be an entrepreneur

0:04:35.170,0:04:42.410

right in technology it's it's usually

0:04:38.900,0:04:46.520

feast or famine but there's a lot of

0:04:42.410,0:04:47.690

factors kind of weighing in on all of

0:04:46.520,0:04:50.480

that today

0:04:47.690,0:04:53.990

I think 2020 has been that kind of year

0:04:50.480,0:04:58.040

where it's just been you know one thing

0:04:53.990,0:05:02.000

after after another but Frank you and I

0:04:58.040,0:05:04.070

are both people of faith right and what

0:05:02.000,0:05:07.070

I say when it's good times and bad times

0:05:04.070,0:05:08.960

is you know we're in God's hands and a

0:05:07.070,0:05:13.760

lot of people don't like us mixing that

0:05:08.960,0:05:15.830

kind of stuff that way if you're if

0:05:13.760,0:05:19.300

you're don't believe in God then you

0:05:15.830,0:05:22.940

know you can take the stoic approaches

0:05:19.300,0:05:25.100

um anyway I mean well and we have you

0:05:22.940,0:05:27.410

know we had I remember a couple of

0:05:25.100,0:05:29.090

people that we interviewed brought that

0:05:27.410,0:05:31.700

up brought up the stove approach Brent

0:05:29.090,0:05:35.930

those are stands out right right

0:05:31.700,0:05:38.870

Raven the last one so and in Bob Ward

0:05:35.930,0:05:41.960

spoke a lot about his face right all

0:05:38.870,0:05:43.580

right at the end of it and I'm gonna...
