i neeeeeeedd a sports au whenever you get round to writing your au imagines/books!
like imagine idk tennis? figure skater? murderwives, long lost childhood friends that learned together in the red room training company but when natasha moved west, she skated for shield and katya skated for hydra, they compete and become worst enemies when nat finds out how bad hydra treat katya, she tries to help her but katya is mean and doesn’t want the pity. in the end katya suffers a terrible injury and nat is the one to help her and they go enemies to lovers and skate off into the sunset together🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
Oh, you guys want a sports AU? 👀 I can totally do that.
"Katya is mean" made me laugh for some reason 💀 But omg rivals to lovers is a trope that I can get behind. What sport are we thinking they would be doing? Like I know Russian sport federations are very harsh towards their athletes so it makes sense they'd be in something like the RR to train

thoughts on every ridonculous race duo including don at the beginning because i just finished watching it for the first time. continued in reblogs
don is such a fun host! he doesn't want anyone to get hurt, and doesn't push anything 'for the ratings'. and even so, he manages to have a lot of funny, witty moments. of course, chris is still my favorite host, but don definitely cuts it close!... especially because, let's be real, we all forgot anyone else in the universe. (don't come for me blaineley fans she's fine I SAID DON'T COME FOR ME STAY BACK PLEASE I HAVE A FAMILY)
the LARPers. definitely some... interesting characters. they're the prime example of total drama's flat and boring personalities, most of which were distributed in pahkitew island. i'm kinda mad that, of all those horribly mid and boring characters, we got the most mid and boring one back. hell i'd have preferred dave there, he'd had given us some substance to the story. i don't even remember the girl's name and i don't wanna google it. forgettable, but definitely annoying for as long as they were on screen.
the tennis rivals. good, but overhyped i think. at least, i've seen a lot of people talk about them and ship them, especially since their cameo in the reboot. i for sure thought they'd last longer because of that. i really liked their banter but they don't come close to my favorites. i will not be calling any of their agents. sorry :(
the geniuses. yeah they definitely existed! i mean their characters were fine and i really don't have anything against them, plus their concept is kinda fun. but i absolutely despise courtney's character and hearing her voice come out of another contestant's mouth made me hate her immediately. I STILL KINDA LIKE HER... like, her character design is fun... i just don't care for them that much
the vegans. they look sooo pretty and.. that is the sole reason i put them down as 'i vibe with'. i really don't care for them. i don't even know their names lmfao
the fashion bloggers. sooo fun whenever they were on-screen. unfortunately this show is so predictable and i can tell when a character's arc comes to an end and they're going home. i don't wish they stayed longer tbh? i like them but i think they've had their time. the wlw/mlm solidarity ever next to the ice dancers but we're getting to them. anyways, solid duo!
mom and daughter. ugh. fuck you
the adversity twins. i don't want to sound like a copypasta so i'll keep it short but GODDD THEY WERE SOOO ANNOYING. does NOBODY else feel this way?? i swear before i watched RR i only saw good things about them. HOW? LITERALLY HOW??? they are so fucking annoying and all they do when they're on screen is whine. "ooh mickey is allergic to breathing :((" "actually jay has a water allergy :((" AND THEN THEY HAVE THIS OP SUPERPOWER WHAT THE FUCK IS TEMPERATURE DYSLEXIA THAT DOESN'T EVEN EXIST ahem. excuse me. getting too worked up over thE WORST DUO. SHUT THE FUCK UP let's move on sorry i'll control myself
the step-brothers. idk about you guys but they are really close to being my favorite duo. just... their entire gimmick is so good. the build-up to finding out they're so similar... ough the bros ever. i was so sad when they got eliminated :( they were so funny AND fun. lorenzo is higher than chet because i like his character design more. tbh they're kinda the same person to me? but this is a mistake i made before watching RR, thinking every duo is the same person. which they're not, i quickly learned. at least not most of them. but yeah these two were very fun, they bounced off each other very well. i really liked them. they should've gone further methinks.

TD 2023 Review: The Final Chapter
Spoilers Down Below.
..
...
...
...
...
...
...
Episode 9: I ain't gonna lie from the way they structured this episode in the beginning. I already knew Caleb was winning immunity.
Tumblr media
Funny screenshot I grabbed ^.
I started off this season liking Mkulia because I saw it as an alliance between two equals. But ever since the cheating plotline, they've only ever used MK as a punching bag. And then the cherry on top is Julia eliminating her for a second time.
Left a sour taste in my mouth tbh. And I can believe the hockey bros were dumb enough to vote her off. But you're telling me that Julia somehow convinced Priya and Damien that MK is the bigger threat between the two? She literally told you guys she eliminated Nichelle. But consistency be damned I guess.
Episode 10: I kinda wish the memory game was more about remembering events that happened through the season and less press a button on a ipad.
This julia vs damien rivalry is cooking. It's about time Julia faced some opposition in this competition.
A bit ironic considering they're athletes but I don't think Wayne and Raj have done well in a single competition this season.
Priya admitting she knows Julia is manipulative and then proceeding to get manipulated by Julia. ://////////
Me going into the elimination scene: Oh so the praleb drama is resolved! Priya or Caleb is going home right?
??
??
???
WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN DAMIEN GOT ELIMINATED? WHAT THE FUCK???
Ok Julia shared her immunity with Caleb. Vote off Priya? She won last season??? It's not that hard???
"Sorry bro we can't vote off Priya because she's in love with Caleb" WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT LOGIC? That's exactly why you should vote her off!
Damien running around the island looking for his idol and then getting dragged away screaming is legitimately pitiful to watch.
This season loves giving ppl undignified exits but this was the worst one of all.
I want to add on that I knew there was a very low chance Damien was gonna win given how his arc was structured. But this elim was bullshit, should've been Priya.
Episode 11:
Starting off the episode with the hockey bros saying they miss Damien is lame. Ya'll never interacted and you voted him off. Fuck off.
Julia starting an off screen alliance with Caleb is lame. I don't want to hear the excuse "They can only fit so much into 22 minutes." They did perfectly fine in S1? Why the steep downgrade in quality?
We finally get a non gen 1 cameo and it's fucking McArthur. God I hate this season.
This is the worst challenge of the season. This is the third time ya'll have done run around and be chased by animals challenge. At least nobody is farting this time around.
Maturing is realizing Raj was never gonna get a character arc and he's only here to be comedic relief. Sigh..
Julia being a challenge beast doesn't feel as fun as it did in S1. Probably because she's casually steamrolling the game rn.
They waited way too long to boot off one of the hockey bros. We literally only have two episodes left. How are they gonna be able to make wayne idependent and stand out on his own?
Episode 12:
Why is Julia so insistent on gaining Wayne's vote when she has the immunity idol?
Caleb really is whatever the plot demands him to be. He spent the first half of the season being a wannabe f boy. Now he wants to act all sweet n shit and say he don't wanna lie on Total Drama. Like please get the fuck out of here. Not even Millie was this annoying. Steroid ass freak.
Maybe it's the inner fanfic writer inside of me. But imagine if Damien was in this fear challenge and his final fear to overcome was Scary Girl. Would've been peak imo.
They're really giving Wayne a last minute character arc about learning how to be himself without Raj around.
Tennis Rivals cameo? Isn't RR supposed to be an in universe spinoff? Why are there more RR references than like Revenge or Pahkitew? Are those seasons getting swept under the rug?
They really tried to make this elimination suspenseful when we already know Julia has the idol.
I still like Priya overall. But i'd be lying if I said Season 2 makes it hard to do so. Besides a few mentions from Chris, her being a canonical winner has no effect on the story. Her storyline is a near identical repeat of last season but worse. Just change the genre from friendship to romance. And replace Millie with Caleb. It naturally ended in episode 10 but the writers wanted to stretch this shit as long as humanely possible so here's more problems for the two to overcome. I could go on and on but to sum it up, priya x caleb is ass.
The Finale:
Hmm. Who should I root for?
The guy who just became relevant last episode?
Generic romance plotline guy?
Overpowered villainess?
I like Julia the most out of these three. But a complete Julia steamroll would be mid. Like if she won S1, I'd be cool with that. Because she fought tooth and nail to get into the final 4.
First boot to winner is a neat idea but I don't want it wasted on a bad character like Caleb.
Wayne exists.
Wait so Ripaxel is still together? Why was she so distant towards him in their elimination episode? So Ripper legitimately quit for no reason then? And didn't Chris say last season if you quit then you owe him a million bucks? Is that never coming back up?
Say it with me everyone, "This season is ass!"
Team Caleb not giving a shit about him is so real.
Why is Julia surprised that only MK wants to be on her team?
I don't know how many of you have seen it. But there's this fanmade show called Disventure Camp. And the finale challenge for that show is almost identical to this one. Not accusing anyone of copyright.
I just thought it was interesting to point out.
Tumblr media
Considering Chase's pizza obsession that got him eliminated in season one. Shouldn't he have been the one to go back for pizza? This season can't even remember the minor details.
I thought they were gonna do bald julia for a second lol. Mullet Julia looks cool though.
Wayne won. My honest reaction: :/
I can't be the only person who thinks it's sus that Terry McGurrin. The white straight ally who likes hockey. Wrote the final episode where the white straight ally who likes hockey wins. :/
Tumblr media
People have been comparing his win to TDI Owen.
Owen was a goofball but at least he had a S Tier social game and interacted with loads of ppl (cody, gwen, trent, heather, duncan, izzy, noah)
And he was decent at the challenges. (dodgeball challenge, eating challenge)
Wayne sucked in every challenge and only talked to Raj and sometimes Julia.
Honestly might be the 2nd worst winner this series has ever had. Mike still holds the crown for worst winner.
If they really wanted an underdog finalist they should've went with Damien. He was an underdog and actually did shit in the game. And they built a rivalry for him and Julia. Only to throw it away immediately.
Tumblr media
Kinda wish these were the two pairings instead of Ripaxel and Praleb.
I know they teased a S3. But if it's the same level of quality as S2, I don't want it.

glad that at least from the impression i’m getting from ur rr posts im not the only one who doesn’t like the season that much and for the same reason.. i literally only like like less than half of the cast 😭 and even those that i like i like so much less than other td characters, i need to rewatch but i feel like the characters coming in pairs was both a blessing and a curse bc it meant so many got basically no interactions with other characters from what i remember. the flop to slay ratio is dire
The show is overwhelmingly full of moments I think "I could have written this better" or "I think they would have benefited with more obstacles at this part of the race" or "who the fuck keeps screening dirty cops for game shows. I HATE cops in game shows. Game shows are MY baby's first obsession. RR is one of those shows were you're like "ugh I liked PARTS of it so if they had another season it'd be GREAT because they couldn't do that stuff again." Which is 100% sunk cost fallacy, do not be me.
The lack of attention and care when it came to elim order of the familial duos kinda irks me. With the exclusion of The Rockers (which btw, I was INCORRECTLY informed that they were more shippable. You guys ship THAT!?) all the non-sister family duos get canned in a row (Mother/Daughter, Twins, Stepbrothers, [Rockers], Father/Son). While there's a lot of downtime with non-elim eps, it's still PAINFUL how ship focused it is. HELL, Kitty falls into nothing but a shipper of Emma and Noah which. I'm so sorry but I skip all their scene and their musical sting oh my god barf city. (Earlier I was trying to make sick because I accidentally possibly ingested mold, and honestly a comp of them might have done it.)
So few characters interact with anyone outside of their teams and that kinda blows??? Like I swear this is the perfect show to have Aftermath type things instead of non-elim eps, where it's just "behind the scene" content, like what everyone actually did on their 17 hour flights. I wanna see The Tennis Rivals treating Junior like their darling innocent grandson, but then complain Dwayne doesn't work hard enough. The Vegans temporarily befriending The Adversity Twins for their dislike of dairy, but then going "actually nevermind" because they're just lactose intolerant. The Goths just glaring everyone down and Owen is like "You remind me of a girl I knew once! She was emo too!" and Crimson is internally screaming because she's NOT emo. She is GOTH. Also the fact Owen and Geoff NEVER talk is downright CRIMINAL. YOU GUYS KNOW EACH OTHER... TALK...

Ridonculous Race
Taking a break from the Island Runs to to RR!! Also just as Pokemon, since there are SO many teams. Under the cut
Starting with
THE GOTHS: Crimson & Ennui are both Meowstics, since they're the most in-sync with each other and the most supportive toward each other in the entire series. Thus, a Meowstic Set makes sense since Psychic types can learn Dark type moves, and Meowstic has seen and survived the horrors.
Bonus, their Bunny Loki would be a Bunnelby
THE ICE DANCERS: Josee would be a Weavile, graceful but scheming, while her partner Jacques would be a Gallade; also graceful, while more well-meaning, loyal to a fault.
THE BESTIES: Devin would be a Slowbro because he is useful but man is this man dumb how tf did he never notice Carrie liking him like c'mon bro its OBVIOUS. Carrie is a Goomy as I think she means well, but she came off as a little clingy.
THE SURFERS: Geoff makes his return, and he is a Surfing Pikachu still, joined by his surfer friend Brody, who is an Alolan Raichu. Again, both of them are pretty chill and pick on vibes easily enough, but can get caught up in their own egos from time to time.
THE POLICE CADETS: Sanders is a Growlithe and MacArthur I made a Herdier as Sanders seems to be thoughtful and figure things out, While MacArthur is very loud and charges ahead without thinking things through all the time. By the time things wrap, they would both evolve into their final evolutions, to showcase their growth.
THE DATERS/THE HATERS: Stephanie and Ryan are pretty much constantly arguing and breaking up/making up, plus are self-proclaimed gym rats, so I made them Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee; constant rivals, working out, working well together but also easily becoming each others enemies, like they do in the show.
THE TENNIS PROS: I made Pete a Gumshoos and Gerry a Crabrawler. Honestly, I just picked pokemon that looked like old men for them, since that was their schtick.
THE SISTERS: These two took a while, since I wanted a related set of Pokemon. I eventually settled on making Emma a Gardevoir and Kitty a Kirlia, as both girls are reported to be smart but can get overwhelmed by emotion
FATHER AND SON: I couldn't figure out what to do with Dwayne for the longest time, until I settled on Delibird, because although it is cute, it could be considered a little goofy, dorky and older. It is why I made Jr a Shinx; younger pokemon, but a completely opposite type, to explain his disconnection with his father at times.
MOTHER AND DAUGHTER: Since they were clearly Kardashian parodies, I had to go for wealthy, fancy pokemon. They are also the least adept, so I went with Normal types for them. I made Kelly a Cinccino and Taylor a Delcatty.
THE FASHION BLOGGERS: I made them similar types or similar looking types of Pokemon, that had a lot to do with Fashion. Jen I made a Leavanny, which is noted to make its own clothes and the judgement of the middle evolution never left them. Tom I made a Lurantis, to differ him a bit but also keep him stylish.
THE GENIUSES: Obviously, both are psychic types. Ellody I made an Indeedee due to the tireless amount of work she puts into everything, and I made Mary a Farigiraf, as clearly the TD team design wanted her to be weird, but she's actually pretty cool; she's also more willing to adapt to other things, unlike her partner.
THE VEGANS: I made Laurie a Bayleef, as she seemed ready to throw down, especially after the food challenge and Bayleef is noted to kind of give of a vibe of aggression while being a plant pokemon. Miles I made a Lilligant, as once again another plant pokemon, whose performance can be quickly outstripped by others.
THE LARPers: Wow another one joke team. Anyways, to kind of match the vibes, I made Leonard a Medicham and Tammy and Escavalier. They were there so briefly, it was hard to think what others would fit.
THE ADVERSITY TWINS: I made Mickey a Feebas and Jay a Magikarp, as both ugly fish are portrayed as going through adversity and once they evolve, they do become better at surviving everything.
THE REALITY TV PROS: Owen and Noah have evolved from their stints on Total Drama to a Xatu and a Snorlax. See that post for their original pokemon choice.
THE ROCKERS: Spud is almost dumber than Devin, so I made him a Slowpoke, and Rock I made a Luxio; kind of in the middle of being useful but not too much.
Finally
THE STEP BROTHERS: Chet is a Pikachu-Colored Pichu and Lorenzo is a Spiky Eared Pichu. I specifically chose these Event pokemon because they were presented as a pair and are literally nearly identical, which the Step-Brothers, in personality, definitely are. They grow closer through the challenge and end up becoming friends, but enemies at first.
Bonus:
DON, THE HOST: Persian, as he's also part of the original 151 like Chris, but he's a much less successful host as we only meet/see him in RR, but he's got better stats. More than likely because he invested his time/money better
BLAINELY: I don't care for her enough to give her a pokemon. I guess she'd be a weezing or grimer, considering? Poison Type, anyways

Ok say what you want about the first episodes of RR but the one tennis rival pushing the other off the zip line and whispering “that’s for Wimbledon ‘77” made me laugh til I cried. That shit is SO funny, I’ve been saying it nonstop since I saw the episode.

Epl Season 2010-2011 Preview - Arsenal
To begin with, one must understands what he expires against, a true no method or systems that could contiunues november 23 every game , everyday, every week , month or new year. good consistent handicapping means selecting more winners than losers. in order to become a successful bettor one must give associated with thoughts to why will be the results this way ?and interactions any reason behind it. when you're manage to disclose the meaning behind it it is the time you feed back on excess fat cow(bookmaker). But this disturbance at these cherished places up for grabs is do in order to only 1 club at this stage. The club causing everyone Chelsea FC. The impact of this disturbance was increased on Sunday when Chelsea won their home game against Manchester City 2-0. Of course, he did this not a superior news to Man U fans. Is actually why because their current most dreaded rival is Chelsea. So they know the uphill task they have ahead. Their darling team must overcome this rival if should be clear on winning the title. Again, those pros that are current while using league comprehend that this their rival definitely needs a game in little finger. If they win this game, the 9 point gap between their darling team and their foe possibly be reduced to which cause the matter more frustrating. Here again we understand the uneasiness one of several top departure.
Tumblr media
Nowadays it can be very present with see internet poker games in the net offering interactivity between gamblers. You've heard the saying fair but be very wary when betting with a real income especially the ones which have high minimum bets ranging from $5-$10. Alternatives here . hustlers looming round the corner. The do is simply because they kept boosting the stakes what your have little choice but to follow to experience the next card, unless you still have an j pairs or anything compared to that , high chance are you'll have lose,cause their odds of winning against you is high because are by themselves. These apply to games like majong, big 2s. With this result, Chelsea is now 3rd revealed and Manchester City latest. So one can see the uneasiness as top 4 spots of the epl. To be able to this Manchester City was leading Chelsea. Man City was occupying another position handler seems to have FC was occupying the 4th situate. They were leading Chelsea with 2 zones. But after Sunday's game the table was turned and so we possess current situation mentioned original. Currently, Holden looks being a prime candidate for the U.S. Men's National Team as it prepares for the World Cup this the actual. But if he makes the to be able to Europe can also be riding the bench without playing, it might hurt his chances of producing the grade for Bob Bradley while he selects the group for Nigeria. The U.S. has a bevy of talented midfield players to decide upon. Real Madrid is more than happy to make him in their team this season. His present will take more balance for the group in the match. For a defensive midfielder, Xabi rrs incredibly good both to help the defense and to build the offensive glide. His high intelligence on field makes him inside a position read and cut the opponent attacking movements. In https://www.dajaba88.com/ , it makes him able to create chances to score goals. He also often to attain goals fom long range shot, fees. With MLS in its winter hiatus, the LA Galaxy's Landon Donovan and Houston Dynamo's Stuart Holden are hearing the siren's call of European are very important. While their the situation is different, with Donovan planning a fairly safe two and a half month loan to Everton, Holden is weighing the merits of a long-term contract to practice with the Bolton Wanderers of England's Premiere League. There have lots of tennis couples, such as Steffi Graf and Agassi, and Evert and Connors, but nothing you have pairing has captured the romantic imagination of tennis fans, as Tomas Berdych and Lucie Safarova have done.

Good morning 
Alright, let's go over some 
We are on 
Episode 45. It's a coffee here in South Bend, Indiana 
We're gonna go over tech news business startups entrepreneurship and live 
Online 
We have about 20 minutes and we'll get rolling and from there 
We direct you to tech coffee that org and you can see the news we talked about and the links 
Documented video 
So, let's see you can follow along on online 
Hashtag Tech coffee 
And then afterwards, I'll post up all the information 
and stuff about 
tech coffee org 
Let's start over on TechCrunch 
Today 
Art Walk is going on this week here himself in so this is a piece of heart behind me that's been installed for me 
Digitizing so Tech Brown should try the construction sites with scaled robots 
I didn't get a chance to a video last week, but I added this story 
hmm to episode 44 
It's interesting how they map over 
the construction site and so 
Current cycles can be seen so prior to the process of construction to be build in the digital environment 
What the building is gonna look like you start to build and until the very end. You usually don't see 
The progress or the process or where you're at or how far things are compared to what you designed them to be? 
And there's a robot driving around 
all of digitizing construction sites with scaled robotics 
That they're mapping what's currently happening so you can compare it to what we designed it to be 
As it wants to do that 
Cyber 
Severus 
The reason raises 200 million for its enterprise security platform 
Security is always a big business financial services market compared age' group raises 
20 million in new funding led by experienced 
He is go work, all right 
Maybe these two we can talk over 
Then it's sorry if I missed him and I'm looking forward to chatting with you 
Okay, so I'll link over on Twitter here 
So India's go work raises 53-million 
Serious in debt, my name is Amaya so they took on debt and away equity 
based business 
They had something build some people they needed to hire or whatever the case may be and they know they have a process 
so if they inject this amount of money 
into this process it's going to 
pump out X amount of revenue that will then cover that debt, so they're definitely 
My hope would be that they've run the numbers well enough existing business debt, they know they can cover 
Whatever carry that debt holds 
The debt round for the 
two-year-old startup not to be confused with an Indonesian startup to the same name that operates in the same space Wow, so 
India 
India and Indonesia 
Have a company with the same name in the same space go work 
Is financed by private fund made by black rocks private credit team and CLS a Capital Partners 
special situations group 
Prior to announcement into the race. I'm just closed amount from another fund. So they've already raised some 
Plans to expand its accommodation capacity to 
25,000 people up from 12,000. Yep, so it's going to 
Allow more people to work 
More more capacity it makes sense 
You have the process and you know, it's working and you know, it's running. You know, how 
Rejecting more into it's only gonna make that grow. So do you have the people and 
capital to to make that happen 
Processes 
So go work is taking the brick-and-mortar aspect of co-working concept further as well as consistent measures to ensure young businesses 
to enable young businesses to reach their highest potential 
We look forward to go work offering optimal operational efficiency for startups as well as corporates 
Interesting, they're not just focusing on space. They want to enable young businesses to reach their highest potential 
It tells me they have some sort of secret sauce going on 
Baked in to the space, maybe some mentorship resources connecting to a network 
That would make sense 
I'll be over here 
Couldn't get youtube to 
Stream this morning. You usually can do your encoder or you can do your YouTube live and YouTube 
There's so much changing about it 
I'm gonna figure that out applying later not a priority right now 
Alright so 
that was the 
Go work automotive market place 
karo acquires Indonesia's 
Giallo 
Extending stairs being it's a 90 million borrow 
Let's see what car is doing 
There you go follow along up on the Twitter 
See an automotive marketplace and car financing startup based in Singapore 
Is that true 
This is tennis, okay 
so carro 
CA RR Oh reminds me of Turo but as I'm reading an automotive market place car financing started up in Singapore 
Raised 30 million close. It's 90 million round 
wants the skills business into another 
geographic market Southeast Asia 
Around 
was funded by 
Softbank ventures government linked to local investor 
EDB I 
Detrick 
Foundation and and poor ventures 
And the series if there's no overflow of interest, of course in 
our serious beat which we initially close to at the end of the year at a lot of quality strategic investors coming to and 
coming to 
and there and uh 
Coming to the and therefore decided to extend the round around so officially closed 
As a masked 40-minute million monthly active users transactions worth 1 billion per year interesting 
Rollo 
One of the Indonesia fast growing market places really sellers trade new used Goods 
so karo acquired a new and used Goods 
calm 
forty million monthly active users 
transactions worth a billion dollars last year 
So karo maybe wants to 
Continue that business but and and amassed those users 
So when it does come time for them to purchase a car make that big purchase the car can be 
Already in their lexicon already in their ecosystem. Okay 
Karo and Turrell, I guess karo is really focused on actually trading a car here. Here's a car 
Here's money or or whatever you want to trade for it Turo is more 
let me rent your vehicle while I'm in some place or whatever period 
Carro which sees more than 70% of its transactions come from outside home Singapore will reveal expansion plans to new markets new 
Acquisition deals later in the year. The subscription service will also be extended 
Rival does any startup including Bella Mobile in? 
Indonesia are some high car age' and rocket Internet's are movie. Although with its new raise and 
Bank. Karo is the best funded by some margin 
So far as the marketplaces for deals and just 
Bartering barter systems to see more and more of those 
What's back on beta codes 
Shopify to host program for developers re-entering tech industry after extending leaves 
Interesting 
All right. So let's do Shopify first. It says Shopify 
Your Shopify to host program for developers 
re-entering tech ministry after extended leaves this whole 
40 to 60 year old age range the boomers and the tail end of the boomers 
re-entering the workforce 
In some capacity whether it be something they wanted to do and didn't or something they were 
Doing they wanted to do a new role or have a new capacity with those skills. Very interesting to me 
you definitely have 
30 40 more years to live people think they're done because they retired they they killed it for 30 years 
You definitely have some years ahead of you 
so if the Walmart and breeder thing got boring after a year - if sitting on the beach or reading a book 
Got boring after a year or two 
What? 
Boomers are gonna start to do is reenter the market or do phase two of their career or start a new career 
Start a new business start a new project and 
Ran during the workforce in what capacity? 
It's interesting 
what is it they're going to reenter as 
You're bringing 
30 plus years of experience with you 
You're gonna you're going to be dangerous 
All right, so here we go 
Five - host program so the talent shortage reportedly being 
Enduring endurance of growth in the Canadian tech ecosystem and everywhere across the globe 
Shopify has created a program supporting engineers developers who choose to take time off work for personal reasons and want to reenter the industry 
The welcome back program is what they're calling it. Love it 
Like 
like a college freshman 
Welcome me something like that. Welcome back the program. I'll link you over to it 
It's a paid program designed to support software developers will take an extended leave for the absence from the tech industry to re-enter the workforce 
The program focuses on helping talent refresh developers then skills through hands-on workshops and custom programming 
Led by the company's engineering and learning development teams 
Qualify for the program applicants must have been out of a software development workforce for a minimum of two years 
Have more than three years of experience of professional software developer strong foundation and object-oriented principles 
And fluency and the in at least one 
object-oriented language and a passion for 
Curiosity of software. All right passion for curiosity. I love that 
Three-month program will run from October to December in downtown Toronto 
Successful participants will be partnered with Shopify 
Mentor after the first month to support their growth and well-being applications will close September 13. So get your applications in 
September 13, that's exciting. Alright, so you have to go up to Toronto. There's three months 
Well, that's one way to go Shopify 
Love to see more programs like that in high tech in engineering and manufacturing and fabrication and assembly 
All these high skilled trades jobs 
Just get people to re-enter the workforce 
Doing something they know and love 
have a lot of experience and 
probably 
Then right having this long experience of them then retraining the people who are entering the workforce for the first time 
If anything they can be the trainers 
And don't do the actual thing 
We go to markets for energy 
Tools or startups and lessons learned helping ecobee challenged industry incumbents 
Axis experience with eco be in that industry 
Hear what they have to say a 
Ticket, all right. There you go. It's the preview up on Twitter 
There's a nice picture of a bunch of white dudes just like me 
every year thousands venture-backed startups 
Did that coffee, you know, thanks chicory cafe 
Every year venture-backed a-- and viciously go to market challenging entire category and industry incumbents companies like Airbnb 
Casper we were gonna show you how a dedicated team with the great idea can knock the pins out from under the fiercest market giants 
The Challenger brand is not defined by its size the midget up and its status quo. Yeah 
you can go in steal market share because you have something better some secret sauce about service or you 
Identify the customer base better 
It is what it is. The market will decide not your longevity 
Now because you've been doing it for thirty years if you've been doing it the same way for thirty years 
You're in trouble 
That means someone else is gonna come in and better serve your customers, you know better identify your customers 
It's just the market will decide not you and your opinion about your business. It doesn't work that way 
So here are three tips that a to successfully take on long established leaders startups must define what they want 
To be in the world. So this is 
Beta kit and eco B's challenge to industry incumbents by the way industry 
incumbents 
You could be doing this exact same thing to yourself 
Right you're serving the market 
So there three things are the powerful value proposition a clear target customer and a strong competitive response 
So you could be doing those three things for your market by bringing a value proposition 
That is clear a clear target customer 
Well, you know who you've asked about who you listen to and a strong competitive response 
You could bring a strong competitive response to yourself 
Hey, we've been doing these things, but we're hearing from you that you want these things 
Just do them 
Don't have to be an incumbent rookie veteran you could just serve your market 
So it says we'll break down each of these with some helpful links and resources for startup founders or incumbents 
So first was the value proposition value proposition is your promise to your customer. It must tell them how to solve their problem 
How you solve their from? 
Qualify the value you deliver and explain why they should choose 
There's some more ways to think about value prop 
Having talked about value prop quite a bit and in front of 
FIRST robotics teams and that startup Ekans and with entrepreneurs one on one 
Who I like at the end how they give clear value props from 
From companies so ways carpools save time and money by writing together fair. Get the car on your phone get a car on your phone 
Jiffy home maintenance without the hassle 
Whether that meets a customer segment or not, that doesn't that's not the point in the value of profit 
Is it a clear? Is it a powerful? 
clear value proposition 
Concise clear and powerful does it drive home a mess efficient? 
Separately, then you have a target customer 
So there's second outline identified target customer allows you to focus your marketing dollars in brand messaging on a specific market 
That's more likely to buy from me. You're looking for 20% of the market that will make up 80% of the revenue 
Okay, so they're saying that a simple and expensive place of starters with an outline review of your competition 
It is what it is you outline the market and listen to those people 
Those people will define market or a market segment that you can target 
Competitive research tools that here's some tools 
And we got paid for some of those and the competitive response 
So competitors Fonseca understand their competitors anticipate our action to your market and trigger 
Just hustle against your target audience 
Check your marketing to relaunch 
Aiming to win with a customer 
ID feel be responded to 
our competitors by aiming to win with the customer designing a beautiful product address the fundamental design flaw and 
alternate stats 
Yeah that last one I would I would reorient to 
Competitively go after your market or your market segment and just out hustle out 
Out-innovate any 
Competitors and you don't have to worry about yours focused on serving your market or your market segment 
Anyway, that's a fun outline. There's some 
there's some good resources and tools it seems like I 
might give some of those a read or a look into to 
Orient to a market or orient to how they thought about their market 
Definitely understanding, someone else's way of thinking helps. You understand then the landscape you're dealing in 
that landscape 
Perspective can be super helpful just to know where you sit within it. I always say there's three things. There's you understanding yourself 
You're understanding the world and the hardest part is understanding yourself within the world 
And you can apply that to business - right and that's the business and how it works a market and the world you're playing in 
and then understand 
Yourself within that market you're playing in 
You can be 
If you can work on that work on that fast and of a fast 
You can be 
Competitive you have the opportunity be competitive right the opportunity to be competitive. So 
What are you looking at? What are you working on? 
What's new in the news where you're at tech news or otherwise news business startups entrepreneurship?

conceptual RR teams because I hate overly romantic teams
The Knitters (FF; Agatha and Dorothy) Expy of the Tennis Rivals. Just two sweet old ladies who have been friends since they were 6... 55 years ago. Early outs, but very endearing women
The Father and Daughter (MF; Cyrus and Freya) Authoritarian military-type dad, with his darling princess daughter, who is not into that and hates him being overbearing. On-going plot that he won’t let his daughter interact with any of the guys her age on the show, because “my daughter can’t date til she’s married”. It’s implied until it’s revealed that she’s actually attracted to the female [platonic] partner of The Horsegirls, of whom they have a rocky alliance with, not the boy in the duo. Late elim.
The Cheer Squad (FF; Mimi and Chloe) One’s a cheerleader, the other’s... in a penguin suit. Well, she’s the mascot for their college. Despite everyone knowing her by name, she won’t take off the suit, which leads to their early elimination
The Dizygotes (MF; Edmund and Eleanor) Fraternal twins, and Don HATES their name choice. The girl is more plucky and the boy is more cautious. After near elimination, the girl becomes way too cautious leading to another near elimination, which the boy overcompensates the pluckiness of the group, sending them to 4th during that challenge. They make up and try to round themselves out. Middle elim.
The Horsegirls (MF; Avery and Billie) Ignore the name, one of them is a guy, but they’re NOT cowboys. They know everything about horses, and any animal that even resembles a horse. Comes in handy the episode they have to ride wild zebras, but it doesn’t translate too far. They have crossover with the Father and Daughter team, forming a stressful alliance. Late elim.
The Magicians (MM; Ricardo and Ángel) Don comments his confusion that the assistant is male and wonders if there’s something more to that, but gets over it like... 3 episodes in. Gothic type magicians and hate small scale tricks. Constantly get slapped with penalties for “cheating” by teleporting with puffs of smoke, but still get done way earlier than everyone else, so it never puts them at huge risks. During their elim episode, it’s revealed none of it was camera tricks, and they actually are magical people. Don says that makes for great television, but he doesn’t forgive them, telling them to leave. Middle elim.
