Okay.

Okay? What are some of those objections? Well, mashiach- Is the word for anointed one.

Just means an anointed one.

Could refer to anyone, right? A lot of people were called anointed ones.

Um, but even religious Judaism knows the difference between a Messiah and the- The Messiah ...

Messiah.

Yeah.

Yep.

So but what have you seen from this happening just this momentum over the last few weeks?

Yeah, and it's been an incredible month.

And a transition that really started with Satya's Tweed was amplified by Jensen.

And now it's becoming really the resounding approach from every single business we speak to, which is that... you know, Open Models, which started as a research project three years ago, and for the longest time, you know, we're primarily behind the frontier closed models, you know, have now reached parity, right? And if you asked me three years ago, I would not have predicted this to happen so quickly, specifically like in a month, right? To have such a strong shift.

I think it's largely driven by customers.

And, you know, if you look at the companies that are adopting open models, which is effectively every business and every vertical we speak to, largely because just like open source software, open models have a few key advantages.

One is that, you know, I say three things.

That would be that would be silly to take our most important part of our business and do that no matter what it was.

Yeah.

I was sensing just this kind of despair within me, this anxiety within me, and I couldn't place it, but it was continuous.

So I was always trying to feel better.

And New Age spirituality, the yoga practices and things like that, was one of the ways I thought would help.

And so when an insecure young adult runs into things that are supposed to make you powerful, it's a bad combination.

And so what I ended up becoming was I was still insecure, still anxious, depression was coming on, but now I was arrogant because I thought that I was spiritual and I thought that I was reaching these higher levels and I was so insecure and I felt like such a failure growing up that I thought, well, if I do these things, I can gain an upper hand spiritually on people and I can be the one that people come to for guidance.

And so I would practice these things.

What are some of the misconceptions that you're really noticing that you're really helping to make a difference with?

in the past the good news is i am currently a voting member on the board and jeff frank sitting behind me is uh probably going to get even with me for talking him into being a member of the 911 board but he is the fiscal administrator that's on a 911 board i'm very proud of both of us being able to to participate in that and thank you jeff for saying yes and you'll probably never say yes to me ever again

Next on the list is

Take it

away.

I'm Jeff Morgan.

I'm a farmer for Queens County.

Currently, in our office, we have 2 full time people.

We have a 1 fire marshal and then 1 full time fire inspector 2 plans examiner and we have 5 part time contract personnel, which includes 1 part time fire inspector 2 plans examiner and 4 part time inspectors.

Can you tell us a little bit of your testimony, if you don't mind?

Yeah, sure thing.

So after growing up in this Jewish household, like I said, we weren't religious and we didn't have God in the home.

And so when I went out into the real world on my own, independent, I didn't have any barriers.

So there was nothing in my mind telling me, don't get into that, don't get into idol worship, don't get into occult practices.

And I did.

And over the years of meditation and mysticism, certain kinds of yoga and so forth, I felt really great in the beginning because it made me feel empowered.

So why is there that resistance to the Jewish people seeing Yeshua?

Psalm 22.

Very prophetic.

The Psalms are very prophetic.

We're going to start with Psalm 22, where David, King David, writes, My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Okay.

22, verse 1.

And when Jesus is on the cross, he says this.

And people can use this against him.

So this is fresh in my mind, but I'm curious for you to break down Isaiah 9, 6 and why it's so important.

So why was COVID so good for private clubs and for the association?

I hate to say COVID was good for us, but it was an accelerant.

And partly it was due to the fact that we, as an industry, figured out ways to keep, for instance, the golf course open.

So about 80% of our members have golf courses, and there was a lot of concern about spread of COVID, and we worked to create an environment that largely, in many states, would allow us to stay open.

So we moved food from inside to outside and used our outside areas.

We created takeout for the time so that people could get food on a takeout basis.

And ultimately, I think people felt that if I'm around people that I know and people that I trust, chances of getting COVID are much less.

I bet that's really fueled your growth.

Take some time, brother.

Great.

Yeah, thanks, Frank.

I'm glad this worked out.

Um, I was raised and born in a, born and raised in a Jewish, uh, family, a secular Jewish family, but very, very strong Jewish identity.

So we would go to temple and synagogue.

You know, I had my bar mitzvah, went to Jewish summer camp where we wrapped the phylacteries, yarmulke, you know, the prayer shawl, everything, uh, you name it.

Mm-hmm.
