Adilas Key Contributors:

Steve Berkenkotter - Main owner and business partner - original ideas, concepts, and training - sales, relationships, dreamer, visionary, custom code, coordinator, builder of the first industry specific skin, and the list goes on. Huge player in the adilas story and timeline. One of the original owners in Moring Star Automotive - where the system came from. There are three known Steve's in the system notes. Most of them are this Steve (99 out of 100 times). He won't admit it, but adilas was his brainchild.

David Berkenkotter - Steve's brother and business partner in Morning Star Automotive. David was a system user and helped us create the adilas quick search. He liked using that feature, the quick search, but it only existed on one page originally. He wanted us to put it on every page. That ended up being in the header. He was also one of the original partners in adilas. Power user in the system. Sadly, he passed away due to cancer.

Shari Olin - Commonly known as "Shari O.". She worked in the accounting department back in the Morning Star days. She has been somewhat of a mother hen to help all of us crazy chickens keep going. She helps with customer support, training, payroll, bill collection, and tons of backend office functions. Major power user. Just being silly, but she can have the mouth of a sailor but the heart of an angel. Part of the adilas admin team and a great friend.

Craig Leitner - Also part of the original Morning Star team. Craig was the automotive floorplan and bank guy. He is a power user in the system and does a lot of bank reconciliation and other tasks. He currently works with Steve and asks as the adilas controller (money flow guy).

Cory Warden - Originally an adilas rep and consultant. Cory become part of the team after being a rep for quite some time. She helps with customer care, client support, project management, and keeping the team on track. She also does all of the news and updates and other training material. Cory does tons of oversight type services for our clients. Power user and part of the admin team.

Sean Carlton - Sean was a manager at a Cannabis dispensary in Colorado that used adilas for years and years until they sold. Steve recruited Sean to help with sales, deployment, and training. Sean brings lots of usage experience. Often, he is one of the helpers if we need to send someone onsite to help with a deployment or training session. Power user.

Brandon Moore - I'm one of the guys that writes most of the developer's notebook entries. Originally, I was hired by Morning Star, the automotive dealership, to help with data entry, accounting, and website stuff. I ended up being one of the main adilas developers and architects. I build content, write code, help other developers and team members, and help with training. Helped start the project back in 2001 under the Morning Star name.

Chris Dunsey - One of the first adilas interns (developers). Helped with a number of projects. Ended up being somewhat of a consultant later on.

Shawn Curtis - Kinda a funny story. He was taking a developer's class at Bridgerland. He knew my brother Russell. He asked to join our developer class and became one of the first interns along with Chris Dunsey. Shawn ended up helping with payroll and other projects. Some of the photo galleries in the system came from Shawn's help. He also worked on the media/content (file upload) pieces. Later on, he did more payroll work and acted as a buddy to Brandon and did some consulting work. We worked together for years and years.

Russell Moore - Russell is my younger brother. Originally, he was added to the group because of his graphic skills. He ended up being a great backend developer and project manager. He has also acted as a trainer and mentor for Brandon along the way. Much of the current system came from projects and efforts that Russell was involved with. He has also been Brandon's AI tutor in recent years. Great help to the system. Huge contribution.

Chris Johnnie - He is an entrepreneur who teamed up with Russell to help create a company called "Adilas For Business" or "AFB". Eventually, both Russell and Chris sold their pieces back to adilas. They were honestly the first ones to really try to run as a white label of adilas. This was back in 2015 and 2016. Chris really helped to push the product to the next level along with Russell's help.

Danny Shuford - Longtime friend of Steve's. Danny helped with some website design, sales, and videos for adilas. He even got into creating custom PDF labels for clients. Light development work.

Marisa Shaw - She is Danny's daughter. Danny brought her to an adilas training event in Denver, CO. Marisa was the star student. She ended up helping with some graphics, flyers, marketing material, teaching, instruction, and planning. Power user. Very helpful.

Shannon Scoffield - Shannon is Brandon and Russell's sister. Her maiden name is Shannon Moore. Huge help and virtual assistant to Brandon. She has helped with training, project management, and content creation. Most of the major content sessions were or have been with Brandon and Shannon working together. When they, Brandon and Shannon, were traveling, Shannon was one of the primary adilas instructors. If she was teaching Brandon was taking notes. If Brandon was teaching, Shannon was taking notes. Power user.

Cheryl Moore - Cheryl is my mom. What an asset. She owns a small business and has owed a few different ones. When we were doing training sessions, she came to every one of them. She asked wonderful questions and was a great supporter. Sometime, I would use her as a test subject - can my mom do this? If yes, we are good. If not, we may need to keep tweaking it. Thanks mom!

Wayne Moore - Wayne is my dad. He was my hiking buddy and more than willing to talk about ideas and concepts on our walks and hikes. He helped out with video stuff and was a great coordinator for making other connections. He worked at Bridgerland (technical college) and helped us get setup with classrooms, computer labs, and other great connections. Huge cheerleader! There is another Wayne, Wayne Andersen, he is a backend developer, systems guy, and database guy.

Wayne Andersen - This Wayne lives in Portugal and helps with all of the backend security, server, and code testing. Major skills, writes code, helps push all of us to new technologies, partially retired but loves to play with tech stuff. If you search for Wayne and it deals with concepts and coordination stuff, that's my dad, Wayne Moore. If you search for Wayne and it sounds like a master backend guy, that's Wayne Andersen.

Alan Williams - One of the lead developer's at adilas.biz. Alan joined us in 2015 and quickly came up through the ranks. Trainer, CTO, team lead, master developer, prototyper, and system architect. Alan has helped with many projects and features over the years. He also helped Brandon with some of the prep work for the adilas lite (fracture) plans and project. Sometimes called "Dr. Alan" by the other developers. Example: This might be a project for Dr. Alan.

Bryan Dayton - Bryan has been one of the most versatile guys on our team. Originally, he joined a development class out of curiosity. He and Brandon live in the same town and know each other from church. Bryan has done more custom code or small system projects than almost any other developer. He also joined the team in 2015. He helps with sales, custom projects, pushing on projects that he thinks will yield a return. Lots of work on the adilas lite and fracture project. Very hard working and versatile.

Dustin Siegel - Developer who helped with numerous cannabis and cultivation type projects. He worked directly under Steve to help with that business vertical. Many of the original pages that Steve built were taken over and remade by Dustin.

Eric Tauer - Developer and custom code guy. Originally, Eric knew Steve and lived in Salida, CO. As a note, adilas is Salida spelled backwards. Eric has a background in database work and data warehousing. Eric has done tons of custom systems for clients. Often, Eric would pioneer certain features or logic, as custom code, and then we would bring those features into the main adilas application.

Garrett Kirschbaum - Adilas intern and then full developer back in 2015. Stressful time of building and expansion. He and others helped run the adilas shop with Brandon's help. Garrett was a great developer and helped us standardize a number of tools and features. He was the first developer to work on sub inventory, back in the day. He also did other projects and helped with some developer management stuff.

Charles or "Chuck" Swann - Charles was an instructor at Bridgerland for web development. He builds custom websites, does amazing mock-ups, prototypes, and is a CSS master (styling a website using code). Chuck worked with Russell to help with redesign work, projects, and vision. Chuck worked fulltime for a number of years and now works and coordinates work done by a small hand-picked design and development team. Anything that needs some design loving gets passed over the Chuck and his small team.

Steve McNew - Friend of Steve Berkenkotter's. This Steve helped prep some whitepaper documents to help with getting adilas standardized and some internal audit type stuff. Mostly white papers and putting things down on paper. He ended up getting hired by the local school district and wasn't able to finish the process, but he got it started. He asked some great questions, and we had some good conversations.

Abby Elkins - Abby is Brandon's daughter. Her maiden name was Abby Moore. Abby, when she was little (10-12 years old) helped with some of the original concept artwork for adilas. Later on, she helped with content for the presentation gallery and then the adilas lite plans (fracture). Currently, she is working graphic artwork for different adilas pages. She's now in her mid 20's and has some awesome art and content skills.

Aspen Moore - Aspen is Abby's younger sister and Brandon's daughter. Aspen helped Brandon with some planning and counseling (mental help). Aspen also did some general business consulting with her dad Brandon.

John Maestas - Developer, backend server guys, and designer. John came to us through Dustin. John was uses as a jack of all trades on the backend and frontend. He did numerous projects, documentation, payroll, and page redesign projects. John was also very help to Brandon in working on the notes and comments on the SWOT analysis document. Many other projects as well. Good vision of the future.

Kiva Berkenkotter - Steve's wife. She helped Steve with various projects and planning sessions. At one point, she was in charge of paying commissions and collecting monthly reoccurring payments. Huge supporter to Steve!

Heather Moore - Heather is Brandon's wife. What a trooper. Cheerleader, support, ideas, and consulting. Huge asset to Brandon (me). Thanks Heather!

Jonathan Wells - Designer and mock-up guy. He helped to map out the system and created a number of deep mock-ups for adilas lite (fracture) projects. Great job catching the vision and putting those pieces into a visual representation. We still refer to his work when talking about fracture (future project for adilas).

Jonathan Johnson - Business consultant from Epic Enterprises. Met with Brandon and Steve in end of 2019 into 2020. Really helped us see some needs and opportunities. Later, helped Brandon with some other consulting when trying to define the fracture plan.

Calvin Chipman - Windows software developer. Calvin also did a bunch of web-based work, database stuff, label printing, and API socket stuff. Calvin was the first developer to use the adilas API's to create a native mobile app for a client. He also built a number of special developer tools used by some of our team to speed things up. He's the tool guy!

Cody Apedaile - Bryan Dayton's cousin, Cody helped with a bunch of JavaScript code and changes. He also spent some time working on the UML diagram for the adilas database. We didn't get things finished, but he was working on a new build your own interface (custom to you) for adilas. We ran out of funding. We want to get back to that project at some point.

Dave Forbis - Dave was the official "high tech gofer". He did a bunch of things. Graphics, project management, brainstorming, planning, sales, and helped with managing developers for the adilas shop. He was another great student. He came to a number of training courses and brought so much to the courses. He was also a big support to Brandon during some rough times.

Josh - There are three Josh's. Josh Wheeler, Brandon's friend and developer. Josh Sagert, developer and adilas user (worked tons on the discount engine), and Josh White, Steve's friend from California. Josh White has brought us a number of bigger leads and bigger players, like franchises, and other higher-end clients. Anything recent is Josh White, from California. He helps with networking, sales, and dreaming of new things.

Suzi Distelberg - Sales, training, and deployment. She also worked with some custom projects and doing step-by-step user guides. She has helped with all kinds of projects and even gone onsite for setups and training. Great asset!

Kelly Whyman - Kelly is Dustin's wife. Kelly was single handedly the best independent sales rep that adilas had. She did training, consulting, and sponsored a number of custom projects. Kelly helped Steve and Brandon with reports, functionality, and other things. She got so good at things, state contracts snagged her up to work at state and multi-state level stuff.

Molly Hennessy - Molly was another independent sales rep and consultant. She had numerous clients and got into doing SOP's (standard operating procedures) and other high-end documentation and training. Molly was an entrepreneur and even started creating some of her own product and services. If you search adilas on google, some of the other results are from Molly. Super creative and a great consultant.

Hamid Karbasi - Developer - He has worked with Brandon doing small websites, training, and small tasks. He currently is a manager at a retail store and brings some managerial type skills to the table. Willing to talk about concepts and how they apply to retail and other environments. He is also lightly helping with some planning for fracture.

Gene Spaulding - Friend, entrepreneur, and businessman. Gene is an old college friend. We had a number of friends in common. He has been a small mentor to me over the years. Way back, before adilas, he helped me get my first business loan for a project that I was working on.

Sharik Peck - Friend, entrepreneur, public speaker, physical therapist, and businessman. Good influence and mentor in ways. Sharik and I used to exercise together back in the day. Many of fun walk, run, and weightlifting session. Learning some conference and training skills from him and his wife. They have done really well pushing their product lines and doing some marketing. Trying to get some ideas.

Bridgerland Technical College - Use to be Bridgerland Applied Technology College. Not a person, but a huge help. This is a local technical college in the Logan, UT, area. Brandon's dad, Wayne, worked there. Tons of assets. They provided classrooms, training options, computers, and even an small incubation spot (starter office space) for the adilas shop during the startup phase. Huge asset!

McCorvey's Pro Shop - Also known as Bowling World. Client that had multiple locations. The started out with around 30 and grew up to the 90+ location level, all using adilas. Long time client.

Emerald Fields - They were the first client that wanted their own fully dedicated box and server. They had multiple locations and requested some custom code, reports, and features.

Beaver Mountain Ski School - Client that we helped them track their ski school (snow sport) lessons. Students, instructors, classes, and schedules. Custom interface dealing with elements of time and flex grid.

Bear 100 - This was the first event or annual event client that we did. They used the system for about a week each year. They had 350+ runners and their families that would be on the site for multiple days straight. It was a 100 mile running race with 13 aid stations and a small social portal for the family and friends to watch their runners. This one was special as it had custom input options to upload CSV files to populate the database vs normal HTML form field entries. Records were sent in batches from remote places to adilas for storage and race progress.

High Valley Bike Shuttle - Online ecommerce and scheduling client. They also have a cafe and small retail store. Fun online scheduling and bulk flex grid projects.

Herbo - Mike Roundtree, owner of Herbo, was the first company to do a small white label of adilas. Mike has been a great asset to Steve and the two of them have worked on projects, plans, and dreams. Herbo also has a custom payment solution that they are trying to market and get rolling. Mike has been a great supporter for years. He is also a certified CPA and that credential helps us and him. We would like to get other CPA's on board as well. Thanks Mike!

Nxtlinq AI - AI assistant. These guys really pushed us to get an AI agent inside of adilas. Tons of development took place and lots of prep stuff. We wanted to do a 3-part plan for integrating AI. 1. Teach it how to navigate using the AI quick search (check - done), 2. Teach it all things adilas. and 3. Teach it how to be clear up at the consultant type level. We only got the first phase done. Lots of other plans and such, but we ran out of funding.

Grok AI - Steve loves using Grok. He has built a number of image generation options inside of adilas. He is also working with Grok to feed it data to help with analytics and AI insight. This is not finished yet, but we may end up using Grok as an AI assistant inside of adilas. We have simple and emerging connections available right now but need to really polish things up before going live with the AI assistant options.

ChatGPT AI - We have started using ChatGPT to help with code, explanations, explore resources, planning, and help with training and flow for people and other AI bots. Currently, Brandon, Steve, Bryan, Alan, Josh, Russell, Chuck, and Wayne are using AI in either ChatGPT chat sessions or some other form of AI. We have some using Copilot, Gemini, Claude, etc. AI is actually helping in many ways. ChatGPT is a big one for use. Anyways, they are earning their place in the adilas key contributors list.

There are so many more that I can't list. Developers, users, power users, reps, consultants, trainers, clients, accountants, friends, family, and even critics. They have all helped out the idea farming process and progression. Good stuff! We couldn't have done this alone. It takes a community to do what we are doing.

Great two-day conference. Took tons and tons of notes. See attached.

So, Sharik Peck, owner and founder of Rezzimax allowed me to come watch he and his team put the conference on. I brought my mother, who loves that kind of learning and content. Those people (the participants) were her kind of people. That was fun to watch all of them interact. I ended up loving it as well. I learned a ton, tried out the products, and even contributed a bit to the conference (questions and comments). My main goal was watching what they were doing, how they interacted with the conference participants, and observe little tips and tricks that I could pick up and use when I do some training events and conferences. Good stuff!

Here are some of my notes. Once again, this was more of me observing and picking out tiny tidbits of information vs taking notes on what they were really doing and talking about. I hope that makes sense.

- The Dream - telling a small story. Dreaming and then trying to put the dream into reality. Just the motion of following a dream led to a whole other set of ideas, situations, experiments, and achievements. Basically, the whole journey that ensued and is still going. All from following or attempting to follow a dream.

- One of the main goals was sharing knowledge and getting manuals and resources out to their users. One of their biggest problems was - How can we replicate "Sharik" (fill in the name of whomever is a major key player or awesome influencer)? Sometimes, to start with, lots of the main knowledge and/or know how resides in a few key players. We have to get that information out, virtually duplicate that person, and let others help run with it.

- They spent some time, right at the first, trying to get the conference attendees to help pass the word along. They did a whole section on the affiliate program that they are using. This could be done through referral links, commission structures, affiliate program website, training, certification, and specific tracking of coupons.

- They used some guest speakers to help spread the word. They also have done some research, written articles, and gotten things published, in order to get the word out. Some of that takes times and networking. Along with that, it is always good to bounce ideas off others in your field. Collaboration and idea farming.

- "Form follows function" - they kept saying that

- Small pieces of world building - I saw interconnected system, relationships, finding and fixing problems, addressing pain and disfunction, and seeing how those interrelated pieces worked together to almost create a world. This is an older entry dealing with some world building concepts.

- The smallest change in a system can play through and create new problems and new solutions. Trying to get a good balance - along the way.

- Straightening out disharmonies

- Helping people help themselves - teaching them coping and learning skills

- Deprogramming - things that run in natural or normal habits that may be unwanted or causing problems and issues. Deprogramming, in a way, means undoing or rerouting paths and avenues.

- Lots of experimenting and being okay with that - nothing happens by magic.

- Practice and hands on training - they were giving additional instruction during the practice session. The instructors were miced (had microphones attached to them) as they were walking around and helping others with the practice session. Everybody was able to gain from the instruction and feedback given to individuals.

- Durning the presentation, they would bounce out to a well formatted video to help encourage the participants to go to their YouTube channel for more information.

- Talking about alignment and getting things in-tune or aligned - This was tied into a foundation and going back to the basics. This included basic knowledge and basic techniques. The alignment seemed to be a key factor.

- Focus your mind on what you are grateful for... One of the best sources of change.

- Over the years, Sharik has gone onsite and helped out many people - where they are (to their place, their home, or their business). That seemed to be a reoccurring theme.

- Look where you want to go - If you do, you'll have a better chance of getting there.

- Victim or Advocate - Question - I make things happen or things happen to me?

- Thinking about thinking - an active approach

- They used their tagline over and over again. It was - "Tune out pain and tune into life!"

- He, Sharik, tries to surround himself with people who have lots of skills, knowledge, and talents.

- They had products and samples that they gave out and let people use, try, and experiment with.

- Their packaging was very professional looking. Nice glossy info sheets, nice visuals, everything looked very professional.

- Matching frequencies - we don't want to stay out of sync very long. We tend to want to match what we are hearing and/or feeling.

- Great interactions between the instructors and the conference attendees.

- Consistency and creating good habits.

- Don't be afraid to try something new. Learning over time and recognizing patterns.

- There were a few different times that Sharik would talk about the process of inventing - He would wake up, write things down, react to things as they keep coming (from any source), and keep moving forward based on where he was and where he wanted to go. I loved the stories.

- Quite a few user stories (from the participants) and testimonials. You could tell that everybody liked the products and the procedures (protocols).

- Lots and lots of great hands-on practice sessions. He even had a number of people (assistants) who could help him out, there at the conference.

- They kept referring back to their website for videos, information, manuals, products, etc.

- They had a new product that got introduced at the conference. You could tell that a lot of time, energy, money, planning, and excitement were part of the new product release. They introduced their mini's or mini version of their calibrated vibration tuner. It was pretty cool! Everyone there got one to play with and experiment with it. Lots of ideas and scenarios started to play out. The participants were expressing ideas and possible solutions, almost imediately. That was really fun to watch.

- Feedback was requested and very welcome.

- Sharik has been doing some public speaking at different events for quite some time. Great way to get the message out there.

- Loved the light flexibility in their agenda. They switched things up on the training as needed. If you were a person who fully expected perfect clockwork, you would have been disappointed. If you were ok with some flexibility, then you/they were spot on. They still kept it moving but there were definitely some custom alterations on the fly. I really enjoyed it.

- Recipes - basic steps to get a certain outcome or output. They called them "rezzipes" for Rezzimax but they were virtually recipes - simple steps to get certain results.

- Harvesting ideas from others - giving credit where due.

- Lots of personal stories, details, knowledge, hints, tips, and experiences. That made it fun.

- They kept showing success stories - it almost made you want to be one of the success stories. Almost a level of marketing without actually marketing. That was cool!

- They ended the first day pretty casually and soft - they didn't teach clear to the end. Sort of a soft ending on day one. Light interactions, hands-on experimenting, networking, etc. Quite a few people hung out and chatted, asked questions, and had some great interactions.

-------------

Day 2

- Small suggestion from my mom - A bag with your logo on it. We got lots of goodies and new toys. My mom recommended that a bag would be nice. It would be reusable, helpful, and people could see your logo and name as the people carry their stuff.

- Sharik started the day off by asking for feedback.

- He had a few people that could only be there part of the day. He was willing to change his agenda to help accommodate some of the people who needed to leave early. Those people wanted to cover a specific topic. That showed great flexibility and a personal touch.

- He, Sharik, made some fun and great introductions to those who were helping him out. His fun introduction added credibility to the presenters and/or helpers. Whatever their role was.

- They showed a new mobile app to go along with their new minis (calibrated vibration tuners). Super small demo. Talking about upcoming changes. The users wanted to be able to read/write new hardware names (be able to name the devices - in English vs multi-digit serial numbers). They wanted ways to name the device, assign them to a room, or attach a type to the device. Basically, ways to flag and tag things so that they could organize their environments. It was all about organizing their flow.

- They (the users) wanted to be able to turn things on and off remotely. Using technology to help their clients and patients sleep better.

- They also wanted full control to program multi devices with plans, modes, times, timers, and custom options.

- The end users wanted to know timelines, they were really excited to get using it.

- Currently, they are using Bluetooth to connect. They want to be able to do all functions, remotely, including ways to control all of the micro functions, timers, wake-up, go to sleep, modes, cycles, etc. Ideally, they would love it if they could program something remotely and then the device could go pick up that information from a central server or central location. Basically, a web app of sorts. Going beyond Bluetooth.

- Users wanted to know about updates, notifications, communications, and how to provide feedback.

- Not only feedback but also recommendations and feature requests.

- Sharik was asked a question and jumped back into a small history of where they came from. The electric toothbrush story. That was part of the start of the whole dream. In his dream, he was told, "Vibration will heal the human nervous system. Go figure it out!". Through experimentation, they went through over 800+ electric toothbrushes. This is a side note, but I've known Sharik for years. At one point, he was experimenting with handheld sanders (from a hardware store). The toothbrushes were too little and small and the handheld sanders were too big or too powerful. They ended up with their own tuners that allow for calibrated vibration (speed, intensity, and frequencies) and even waves and patterns. All part of the invention process. Kinda fun.

- It was fun to see journeys come full circle

- Back to the minis and the new app - the users wanted to know protocols - who to talk to, what to send in, how to communicate, etc.

- Sharik invited the developer to show the new app. All of this feedback was being thrown at him while he was presenting. They were recording it and others were taking notes. There was no way for the developer to actually take all of the notes for the requests, ideas, and suggestions as he was presenting. It really helped to have other helping to either record or jot down the notes.

- Just for fun - Sharik said about the programmer - "A programmer on a mission!"

- Note about the media guys who were helping - they had two guys recording the conference. One was the primary tech guy. The other was more promotional and marketing. They were capturing testimonials along the way. They miced (used microphones) all of the speakers. If someone else made a comment, they tried to resay it or recap over the microphone. Sharik was also recommending that the attendees get with the media guys to get their stories and/or testimonials. Pretty cool setup.

- Jumping back into the conference and some of the topics. Lots of time spent on "Trauma" - aka problems, issues, and pain. Without pain or needs, no solution is needed. Once trouble or a problem exists, a solution or answer is needed or wanted.

- Pornography, drugs, alcohol, PTSD, life events, etc. All forms of trauma or issues. Some of these things are taken in by the eyes, ears, hands, mouth, touch, feel, or other ways. Eventually, they get into us and/or affect us in some way or another.

- Teaching the law of opposites - joy and misery, happiness and sadness, inhale and exhale, push and pull, etc. Being ok with being uncomfortable. Pairing these opposites and finding patterns. Back to trauma - front door and back door approach. There is always a way in, look around and be creative.

- Let it go! Exposing yourself and being vulnerable. "IT" will come later. It meaning, what you are looking for. Sometimes you just need a catalyst for change. Replacing negative with positive (thought).

- Standing next to the event, not in it (trauma and events). Can you remove yourself from it and virtually watch it play out, what can you learn, do, observe, as you look at it from a different angle. If you only look at things from a single vantage point, you may be limited as to what options are available.

- Going almost empty and then rebuilding and replenishing.

- Trauma has attachments - it could be other traumas or connections with other events or situations. Usually, it is not just a single thing... there are relationships and multiple interconnected pieces.

- Forgiveness and understanding. Forgiveness doesn't make it right. It does have power to help you. At some point, you may need to ask, how is this all done? Where does that lead you?

- Having a safe place to recover and seek healing.

- The ability to connect to the music within you.

- Saying prayers - for self and for others - looking beyond yourself.

- Sharik was sharing his story and tons and tons of other experiences. It makes it real.

- Triggers

- Learning lessons and then passing on those lessons learned. Experiences just happen!

- At one point, they went over a number of FAQ's (frequently asked questions). They had a preset list and it made it easy to just jump through them and/or skip around as needed.

- Different people do things in different ways - that's ok and even encouraged...

- Great discussions and awesome feedback and ideas from the participants. There was enough flexibility in the presentation to allow for that.

- Inspiration and being open to new ideas. Sometimes it takes time to come to an understanding.

- Freely give, freely share - keep it open.

- Each participant comes from a completely different place. Acknowledging the pioneers in the room. Go explore. Learn from your experiences. If you are experimenting, try it on yourself first - controlled experimenting. Fun discussion.

- Mixing and combining techniques and skills.

- Finding out what nature does and either using it (nature or natural ways) or trying to simulate it. Helping to integrate those type of techniques and processes.

- There are tons of other things that can be added into the mix. Take what we have and what we offer and then add to it and even enhance it. Build off of a stable base.

- Back to a topic in the main presentation - deep questions and sequences - Am I safe? Once you feel safe or relatively safe, you can open up and/or work from there. Interesting.

- Making time to care for ourselves.

- Stick to the basics - back to recipes.

- This is from my mom - She can hear the main presenters but can't hear anybody else (other people who asked questions or chimed in). That bothered her a bit. She knew that I was taking notes on my observations and leaned over and asked me to write that down. That can be hard to fix and tends to fall on the presenter to restate the questions and comments. Just noting that was requested (restate what is being said by others).

- Pathways - things that are used over and over. What works for you? Use that and then build and go from there. Along those same lines - think about strategies and figuring out how to duplicate or predict certain outcomes and behaviors.

- Light humor lubes the discussion and/or topics being taught or discussed.

- Gathering information - connecting the dots - even over time. Be patient! Along the way, seek for opportunities and find alternate paths or pathways.

- Sove a problem, then move on to the next... the deeper you look, it will become a map of the environment. That's pretty cool!

- Going back to basics - the goal is the big picture.

- Repetitive processes - that's how we learn.

- More videos and referring the participants to subscribe to the YouTube channels (plural).

- Lots of techniques, tips, and tricks.

- They were talking about self-healing... at times more advanced help is needed - meaning surgery or other advanced help. That is okay! Start with self-healing and go from there. There is a point that we need other people and their skills and knowledge.

- Talking about pain - if you take it all away, sometimes you do something stupid - keep it real - without any pain, you can push things too hard. Pain can be a great teacher. Knowing your limits.

As my own recap - I really enjoyed the conference. Great stuff and I would recommend it to anyone who either wants to see what they are doing or has a need or knows someone who may benefit from a form of proactive therapy that is getting results. Even in hard-to-reach areas of the mind and body. Like Sharik said, calibrated vibration can heal the human nervous system. That's a great summary. My other favorite part was watching the people (teachers and students). I learned a lot and got a bunch out of my notes by reviewing them. Lots of little gems. Good stuff! Thanks Sharik!

Recording notes for the day. Most of the time was spent working on the notes from a breakfast meeting with Sharik Peck and his wife Cheryl Peck. See element of time # 10252 for more details.

Meeting with Sharik Peck and his wife Cheryl Peck. They own and operate Maximum Function Physical Therapy and a company called Rezzimax (managing pain and stress through tuned/calibrated vibration therapy). I've known the Pecks for years and I wanted to get some ideas and info on entrepreneurship, crowdfunding, and basic advice for business. They served up a mighty big helping...

We met at the bagel shop in Smithfield and chatted for about an hour and a half. Great meeting. See attached for some scribbled notes. We talked about a number of fun topics. Here are some of my notes:

- One of the first things that Cheryl said was - pay your tithing. We talked about tithing and making generous contributions (offerings) to God and church. Pay more than you think you can. You can't out do God's blessings.

- Turn your existing customer base into your brand or product ambassadors. They know it, use it, and hopefully love it. Use that momentum. Help to educate them so that they can pass it along. It's totally worth spending time and money on this group. Incentivize them with products, education, and other money or perks. In a way, try to duplicate yourself. Sharik really spent some time talking about this. It seems to be a big key and a great group where you can focus both energy and efforts.

- Your product should have a tiered structure with incentives and other benefits. We talked about entry level, basic certifications or cert levels, and ambassadors or torchbearer levels. If they are excited about your product or service, they will tell others.

- Promote your success stories - use testimonials, small videos, word of mouth, and natural networking.

- Don't try to sell - just share the possible - It's ok if the purchase is delayed a bit - they may circle back around and really want what you have to offer. Let them want it and seek after it.

- Financial takes care of itself - help people and help the world.

- God and an abundant model - put your trust in God, be willing to do His will. A mindset change and then let God take over. Don't try to limit God.

- Knowledge - share, share, share - if you died and didn't share, that would be tragic - knowledge not shared is knowledge not gained (I don't know who said that, but it was a quote from someone).

- My job - leave as many people with understanding of what I know before leaving this world

- We talked about public speaking and asking to speak at events. Getting the word out - from the source. Not every speaking gig is the right fit. Know when to walk.

- From Jeff Young - 2 things about employees. Give it a 3-month trial period. If it is right, you will be happy and will gladly write that check (virtually everyday).

- Recipes and allowing those recipes (with their ingredients or pieces) to be modified. Some sort of starting point and/or package. It could always be tweaked, but it is at least a good starting point to build off of.

- Sometimes your biggest critics can be your best promoters and biggest fans.

- Ideas on doing your own conferences and putting on your own events. For their company, the highest level of cert requires an in-person training event. Getting everybody together in one place is huge. Record it and then use that content. That is worth a ton and there are a number of intangible benefits as well.

- Flexibility - physically and mentally - being flexible and allowing for growth.

We had a great meeting and I learned a ton. See my notes for a few other things that I didn't write down here. Great way to spend the morning!

Phone calls, texts, and reaching out to some of my contacts. I'd like to reach out to Sharik Peck, Aaron Hill, Jonathan Johnson, Mike Hall, and Josh Wheeler - to start with. Maybe others later on.

Brainstorming on quick and small ecommerce packages. And then help them get it all setup and going. Kinda a free trial basis for a couple of months. Work some magic to do some quick sprints if needed (custom or general code work to help them out).

I also sent a big text to Steve to tell him yes, I'm planning on running with ship B (adilas lite). I told him last week that I would officially let him know on Monday what my decision was. Well, this was it. I'm in!
