I'm a professional musician and vocal coach, I often have people say I should start a vocal coaching channel on KZread and my answer is always the same: Why? Why should I spend years building up a channel, putting all the time and effort it requires, when I'm already making a very nice living doing what I love? All I think when I see KZread vocal coaches is "how do you have time for this? I have 5 lessons today, another 4 tomorrow and a gig in the evening" To update an old saying: Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. Those who can't teach, become KZreadrs.

When I was brand new to investing a coworker was adamant that I invest in weed, it was her ticket to an early retirement and mine, too. I put $200 on a promising Canadian weed company and it served as a relatively cheap lesson in not picking stocks based on one person’s recommendation and noting more.

So the capital raise was for an opportunity that was not real, but there is a real and sizeable opportunity worth competing for.

I rented that movie on Amazon Prime and watched it last weekend. Excellent movie that is criminally underrated. The symbolic gestures were noted, like the masks at the airport as a futile attempt at protection to keep the toxicity "contained" and the large sunglasses as the old lady "turns a blind eye" to it all. Steve Carrell is usually so silly but this one character (yes based on the real man Eisman) brought tears to my eyes. He is the personification in that movie to the saying, "The truth shall set you free, but first it will (pee) you off." Did you see the cameo of the real Michael Burry in that one scene? A "blink and you miss it" moment, like an old Alfred Hitchcock moment.
