🍿Popcorn Fundraiser: It's Not Bad To Be Told No? Selling popcorn is a key way that many Boy Scouts of America Cub Scout Packs and Scouts BSA Troops fund their activities. This is video 5 in a series of 7 videos, and I talk about how to handle common objections and rejection. Remember, you need people to tell you no to get to people saying yes. Each day I'll release a new video that will go live on YouTube for easy sharing across any Troop or Pack looking for a quick crash course to sharpen their skills. 🥾If you know someone with scouts in their Family, please tag them in a comment so they can share with their scout. 👇 Pathway to Adventure Council, Boy Scouts of America, Carl Monk, Jim Sues, Jay Kulesza, Brian R. Lazzaro, Chris Thurman, Jeremy Potempa, Steve K. Don't want to wait for the next one or need an easier way to share with your Scouts? Go to the full playlist on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/gckuPxaG

Exciting news from Gordon's solo ride through California which will commence on the 10th of October 2023, where he will cycle to soccer franchises San Jose Earthquakes Soccer, Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC) , LA Galaxy, Angel City Football Club, and San Diego Wave, while engaging with Oakland Roots Sports Club and San Diego Loyal. Gordon will be raising awareness,sharing Ride For Freedom's mission and talking about our red card campaign. California's human trafficking rates are alarmingly high and we cannot ignore this, which is why Ride For Freedom is dedicated to putting an end to modern slavery and human trafficking in soccer. Imagine the impact of providing survivors with training, a bike, helmet, and accessories to aid in a survivors recovery through a Freewheel Hum in California. Victims of modern slavery will have freedom, independence, a means of transport, a way to exercise which is critical for physical and mental health.

How do you personalize your client's real estate journey? Today, I had the pleasure of signing another listing! My clients are huge Ranger fans, so I couldn't resist donning my Ranger gear to celebrate with them! It helped that my closet is stuffed full of Texas Ranger gear, so I had a lot to choose from. 🤷♀️😆 What can I say - I ❤️ ⚾! It's all about those personal touches that make every transaction unique. Now, I'd love to hear from you - what special gifts do you give your clients on closing day? What personal touches do you try to include? What have you found to be memorable? #ClosingDay #TexasRangers #MartinRealtyGroup

Great news!! We might have Paul Anderson (Peaky Blinders) join our cast on The Manor It would be a stellar cast for such a small budget: Neal McDonough, Mena Suvari, Scout Taylor Compton, Jeff Chase, Paul Anderson and Simon Phillips. The Manor is like Eyes Wide Shut, The Shinning, Jacob's Ladder. We are certain it will be a cult film that dwells in the psyche of guilt and path to redumption. The story revolves around a drunk driver who after accidentally killing a young girl is invited to a secluded very strange Manor. We are planning to film 2 movies back to back. The other, as exciting, called The Unearthed is a meet between The Thing and Event Horizon. The visionary director Kevin Lewis would direct both. The Ask of the sales estimates combined with the tax credits is way over the budget so the investment is fully collaterized and derisked 🚀 Plus we offer 10% of our profits to charity on each project. So exciting!! #investmentopportunity #bts #derisked #filmfinance #filminvestment #moviesnews #psychothriller #theshinning #thething #horror #thriller #philanthropy #impactinvestment #imoact #givingback #charity #filmwithapurpose #purposedriven #roadtosuccess #roi #collaterizedinvestment #capitalgain

Here is an example of some data-driven decision making that is very relevant for today :) Decision needed... how many Powerball tickets should I buy? Well, my overly simplistic answer would be enough to give me a good chance of winning, right? What is a good chance of winning... 50%? Below is the very simple math, but to achieve even a 1% chance of winning you'd need to invest almost $6M!! So, my conclusion is there is no difference between $2, for a single ticket, or $2,000... so, I will stop off our neighborhood Cumbies tonight and donate my $2. My two oldest daughters, Everly and Brielle, are very excited though for the pink and teal Jeep Wranglers I have promised to buy them if we win. Donovan is excited to purchase a plot of land around the corner and start our own USL Franchise (we may need help Steven R. Short!) #datadriven #data #powerball #retail #dads #jeeps #soccer

Our creative investigations are a deep dive into themes that affect our OKC community. Through multidisciplinary art and performance, we seek to answer the question how: How are we connected to the land beneath us and the human experience that shapes our current, shared reality? How can we get help to members of our Veteran community? While no two creative investigations follow a set of particular rules, they allow us to use the tremendous gifts of local artists to provide insight to particular topics affecting our beautiful city. We’re raising $2,500 to continue telling OKC’s stories and lifting up artists of all disciplines. Gifts are being matched dollar for dollar–doubling the impact of your gift. Will you support our ongoing efforts today with a gift of any size to our “You Make OKC Beautiful” campaign? Give now: https://lnkd.in/efei6Y_5

I'm working on making a strategy board game for Electronic Warfare for the Association of Old Crows. I think I have a game structure, game play model, and a reasonable component list. I'd call it a stati-tech-tical (strategy, technology, and tactics) game. I haven't play-tested anything yet, so maybe it is horrible, but at some point, it probably needs to at least look cool. Is there anyone out there who wants to start doing art for it? I can probably pay you something eventually (definitely if we find a sponsor) or at least hook you up with a birthday present for donating time. Zachariah Vanlandingham & Benjamin Huebschman when do you want to see the concept?
