“In the world of surfing, we’re one”. The sand ceremony was interesting
A great conversation. I truly enjoyed learning a great deal of amount in regard to French Polynesia. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing discussion , Thank you Troy
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very interesting conversation. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing!
Very informative show and skillful guest
Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts!
Hi Troy, this is a great subject and needs to be run to the ground; AI is presenting seen and unseen threats spiritually and morally. The key points that you and Rev Barry Richards have brought up are compelling and must be carefully thought out. Ethical rules must include the participation of humans and technology to complement each other. Rev Richards is correct: the wealthy will be wealthy and will get wealthier, and the majority of the population, working class, middle and upper middle class, will be compromised economically, socially, and spiritually. There is a way forward with well-thought-out rules and regulations as to the % and participation of humans vs. technology. We can foster significant advantages for the good of society and the word of God through transparency and serving all neighbors, not just a select few, who will take over control with AI if they are allowed to proceed unchecked. There is a lot of upside if we take the proper steps to moderate this powerful technology and stabilize the and narrow the disparity of financial wealth. So many subjects, challenges and opportunities to discuss and work out.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
Great dialogue Reverend Barry! So many nuggets to extrapolate for further conversations. I thoroughly enjoyed the intellectual and ethical conversation with you and Mr Edgar! Can’t wait for the next episode as you delve further into AI and its’ potential and also its’ effects, whether good or bad. Bravo! 👏🏽🧠🧐🤔🙏🏽☝🏽
Glad you enjoyed the episode @marianw7661! Stay tuned for next month's!
This was so informative,I enjoyed the in depth conversation on AI, and the spiritual encouragement all at the same time.The part that got me was Hope. “We hope in a tomorrow and trust God. Hope is the anchor for the soul, it keeps you firm and steadfast and it prevents you from drifting…” thank you! Great episode! 👏🏽
Thank you for sharing your takeaways!
Informative indeed
We enjoy having Rev. Richards as a guest, another great thoughtful episode!
Excellent Rev. Barry. Proud of you 🎉.
Awesome. This is very informative
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching @judithmorgan6798

Thanks for sharing @homegrownson. Glad you enjoyed the episode. Rock on!
great
Glad you enjoyed the interview!
Mostly due to Calpers. Government employees retire with a golden ticket. Imagine getting about the same in retirement as paid when you were working? How sustainable is that? FireDept has a fun calculation after service of a certain number of years, they retire with the salary they made in their final year. So they game the system and get all the hours they can to make more in retirement than what they were making working. Granted it's a dangerous job but to retire with more than what you made working? Maybe they've adjusted this now but it was like that a few years ago.
California voted for it they're getting it 😬🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
lower taxes on everyone and cut government. this guy is under the false assumption that a government agency is responsible for employment
This is from them in supporting people that aren't as smart. Intelligent people pay more taxes and use less government the opposite is true for dumb people.
Talk about talking around the elephant in the room...Democrat policies are utter failures. Talk about taxing people and businesses want to leave commiefornia.
But the 1% make an astounding amount of money.
And they still think the "rich" aren't paying their fair share.
They aren't, that's the point here. All the rich in Cali aren't paying SHIT. They have their businesses based in Delaware and their cars registered in Montana.
@@colormesarge do facts hurt you? The top 1% of earners pay 40% of the tax income revenue. Duh. So, they aren't getting away with shit!
Well no shit they're doing better when the federal reserve just prints money out of thin air and hands it out like candy. Why do you think we're in this mes to begin with? Uncontrolled spending in a bunch of pointless proxy wars and welfare for weak ass colds.
California sucks never vote Democrat
EDD is so bad.
How wonderful to see this Talented, Smart woman get involved and move up into this position. Good insight and advice! I never knew civilians could be in high positions in government! Thank you for all you represent and keep kicking butt!
Thanks for watching!
Great conversation! Barry, I enjoy hearing your perspective on all topics. What a gift you have! ❤
I am so elated to see my dearly beloved brother in Christ and pastor in such participating in this capacity and enlightening the world and church about the Bible🙏🙏
Blessings Rev. Enlightening
So Proud of my little sister! Well done Chrissy and Troy!😊

The military is a microcosm of the American population (331M). Military personnel (2.3M) comprised around 0.7% (less than 1%) of the total U.S. population. Only 15% of those in the military have combat jobs, so 85% of those have non-combat jobs: *Supply chain managers *Administrative Specialist *Financial Management Technicians *(Market) intelligence analysts *Communication Specialist *Training and Development specialists *PR professionals *Healthcare Professionals *(Corporate) legal departments *Information Technology Specialist
