Long Post for Investors: S1E5 redflix
I mentioned in my last post (S1E4) I switched chairs as I saw an opportunity to talk with Jeff and then Rory. NT was sitting next to Rory all night, or pretty dam close. I tried not to look his way or else he would talk to me.
JK
As I mentioned NT worked in the booth all day. Yeah, that's right, all frigging day with Rory. His head is probably still swimming with rainbows and unicorns. Notice he hasn't said too much about that trip as he quietly keeps buying
I worked in my suite at the Trump tower all day and I was tried. I mentioned it was my nappy time when I got the "call to action" from Maui. If he didn't reach out the sandman would have been the big winner that afternoon. His timing, at least of me, has always been uncanny. Either that or he wrote notifiMaui and contacts 1000's of people at once in his CRM app.
I've done a lot of tech shows over the years. I really dreaded them for two reasons. Well maybe 30 but I'll mention two. My voice would blow out after the first few hours. Actually my voice blew out years ago so maybe switch that to the first few minutes.
My coworkers would come and say "oh, that's not good. We have 3 more days to go". I could see the look in their eyes. The pity. Oh the humanity. It was like we had a 100 mile 3 day hike to go and I broke my ankle getting out of the car. Although I am the guy that never would get off the floor. I seen this intensity and dedication by the nFusz team on day 1 of the Oracle conference
This is harder than anyone can imagine that hasn't done 8-12 hours on a floor and I was a guy that stood 12 hours 7 days a week when I was young selling and fixing bikes. Your feet feel like stumps after the first day at a show if you are not in your teens or twenties.
Oh what fun to know there are 2-3 more days ahead. Keep in mind, nFusz did back to back conferences. Back to back. I don't know how that is humanly possible even if you got your tootsies rub every night.
The nFusz team didn't kick back in the evening in t-shirts, shorts and flip-flops. I would have as my dogs would be growling and snapping at people. I just stood around for a few hours looking stupid and my feet were tired.
I can confirm Denise in the evening, even after standing on her feet all day was not wearing flipflops, just the opposite. I think she will be staring in the next Wonder Woman movie. Keep in mind nothing is close in Vegas. Seems close, but it's an optical illusion in the town where hotels paid Copperfield, Siegfried and Roy, Penn and Teller to create that magical illusion. Walking from the convention center to some place is a journey. You have to bring water and granola bars in case you don't make it to your next destination.
I didn't mentioned this is the last post, but a couple of investors left dinner which freed up some room for me to move around. They didn't leave early. I think we were there for 4 hours but could be off by an hour one way or another. I think the evening was 4+ hours and the best 4 hours I've had in 2018.
The two guys who left (I think they did or they probably would be really mad at me for taking their spot) were young investors in nFusz. I don't know if they post at all on Hub. I think they post a lot on twitter and one recently started posting on one of the message boards.
Why I bring this up is just to drag out the redflix season, create suspense and sell more redflix subscriptions.
These guys get it. I forget if this is their first serious investment, but they have a good (maybe great) number of shares and the tiger by the tail. At their age, I was too busy drinking beer and really, really super busy wasting time. You'd be surprised how time consuming the latter is.
In my early years, I could come up with an enormousness amount of creativity in how to effectively waste time. You see, a lot of people waste a lot of time, figuring out how, to wasting time.
At an early age I figured out how to maximize, wasting my time. My goal was to waste more time, in fewer hours and I think overall I was successful.
Anyone want to know if you can actually jump from a great height with a patio umbrella and land like Mary Poppins? Some would call that wasting time. I call that testing out the physics that I learned in school. If only I could have pulled up that notfiEDU video that said. "redspeed, a 150lbs weight falling at 200mph isn't going to be slowed down with nothing short of a parachute.
All kidding aside (the umbrella was destroyed), I feel like I wasted a lot of time when I was young, even while going to school FT and working anywhere from 40-60 hours a week. People are capable of so much more. I see this with the nFusz team.
Back to these young dudes in Vegas. A big trip for me at that age was to go camping 100 miles away. Here these guys are in Vegas having dinner with the CEO of a company they are invested in. Oh to be their age and have hit a home run with nFusz. I believe their lives will be forever changed. They were the nicest guys you could meet. Humble, sharing, caring. Reminds me of my son and I don't know where the hell he that from.
These guys get it. Which is why I brought them up and I truly hope they don't mind as I respect privacy more than anything. I'll never mention names and anyone should never try to guess who is who since we are going an extra mile to share.
They really do get it which is extremely important for investors. While I have 30+ years in IT and a lot of it in IT Marketing for one of the most recognized brands in the world, I've only been successful, only been successful, because I observe and listen to what the next generation is doing and saying.
I've been told 100 times I am a really good listener. Little did they know it's because I had nothing to say. My grandma used to call me Silent Sam. She had a 6 grade education and was the smartest person I knew. I ever knew. Ever see the Oracle in the Matrix, that was my Grandmother. BTW, my name isn't Sam.
In a previous post I mentioned this is what Rory does. He's a listener and I think he has a lot he could say. Who would ever read all these emails he gets and respond to many. I sent him a few emails and never got a reply. What? The guy that invented the nFusz new investor FAQ is ignored?
I tried a few email accounts. Maybe he didn't get it, maybe it was blocked I told myself. It's not him, it's me. More likely after the 10,000th email "Hey Rory, you guys are doing a great job! Keep it up", he's busy executing.
No hard feelings although I was about an inch away from selling my one share. For those that don't know, I have a dry, sarcastic sense of humor, Probably should have told you that earlier. i.e Don't invest. Don't invest any thing jokes RS says. He's a screwball.
Never expected a response from my emails, but the first time I did get one, I felt like Steve Martin in the jerk when he found his name in the telephone book.
“The new phone book’s here… I’m a somebody now.”
I told my wife right away Rory responded to me and she could see the look on my face like I was finally able to get a message through to Earth from Mars.
I was thinking, after all these years and after all the CEO's I met, why would I really care whether Rory response to me or not? Why in the world would I care. I am a caring guy, but in a totally different way,.
The only emails I really care about are from my kids and they refuse to use emails. Whomp, whomp. So why would I care whether Rory responds to my email?
Getting long I know. More to come including my conversation with Rory at dinner if anyone cares and that was day 1.
