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...
