I don't know your circumstances, and you probably don't know mine. I'm happy to have a conversation with you outside of comments about both. Let me assure you, I've worked with people from all walks of life. Many of them have lost everything and can not imagine changing their circumstances because the obstacles seem too great. So, there is absolutely no presumption about opportunities or the lack thereof. I appreciate your perspective and your willingness to share it. However, the time and effort you took to write your comment and conclude it with an intended insult misses the mark. I will say that if you want me to address something specific to you or someone you may have in mind when you view content like this, I am more than happy to give it a try. Perhaps I will hit the mark more closely for you and actually help you see that the only reason I do what I do is to help make the world (and the people in it) a little bit better. That's my goal to have a positive Ripple Effect out there in the world. But if you are down to chat, I am totally game to hear more of your thoughts and see how I can serve you (or yours) better. LMK. Have an awesome day and Ripple On!!!

@@SteveHarperrippleon Ah, you know what. I had just come from an argument when I wrote this. I feel my observation still stands, but I also owe an apology. I am sorry for my misplaced anger. I appreciate that you want to send out well meaning messages, but as someone who has a number of barriers and a considerable drive to achieve the presumptive nature of your advice struck me as hollow. People don't fail because they want to, they aren't in poor conditions because they want to be. The opportunity to belong to a group of people who are aligned with your interests, particularly ones who will better you, are difficult to find. Add in other problems people might face like disabilities, neurodiversity, discrimination, etc. Simply telling the person to jump in the right pool is akin to telling them the sky is the limit, even if you miss you land among the stars. A cold vacuum indeed. Blanket therapy is condescending to the people who need help. It's not going to help people who need specific information, the courage to face their limitations, or to ask for help. People don't need any more cat posters telling them to, "hang in there."

@@dps8629@dps8629 Hey, if you have barriers, I'm happy to talk to you about them and see where or if I can help. I promise no cat posters. Just to let you know, the video isn't a panacea, nor was it designed to be a one-size-fits-all kind of video. I get everyone has different perspectives and it's these perspectives that lend themselves to conversation and dialogue, much like we are having here. You never know why someone ends up in your life's path, but if you don't take the time to explore it, then you may be missing out on something really great. My D+ video might have cracked the door open just a tiny bit and led you here, but let's see if we both have what it takes to keep the door open or at least keep it from slamming shut. And thank you for the apology - though one wasn't necessary. It's okay to call it like you see it. That's what makes this thing called the Internet so great. But just know, I am not letting you off that easy and I am truly holding space to see if there's still yet a Ripple here to be created.

Thank you for watching Andre!

I'm sorry to hear you were disappointed. Curious in what regard you thought it was trivial? Did you take anything from it?

Thanks for watching sir! I owe you an email response on the other thing.

Thank you for watching Scott!

Thank you for watching! Same to you!

Fair enough. But thank you for watching regardless.

Thank you. Where do you record now? Honestly, until I got a little nutty, I was just recording in a corner office.

Thank you for watching sir. Jennifer is amazing. I am so excited to see where this portion of her entrepreneurial journey takes her.

Thank you for watching my friend!

Thanks for watching!

I need you as my agent. How much commission with you charge me?

Thanks for watching my friend! You and I need to talk about Mind Mapping. I've tried and it just plain doesn't work for me. I'm curious how you are doing it.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you for watching Jenny!

Totally had that song running through my head when I did this video. "Down with opp. Yeah you know me!"

And thank you Joseph for watching! It really does mean a lot to me. So thank you!

I'm curious why you say that? Did you listen to the whole interview? Any specific questions you have on the technology, I have no doubt Lark would be game to answer.

You are right. I love that statement. May I borrow it? Giving you full credit of course.

@@SteveHarperrippleon Haha! I heard somewhere many years ago, but I don't know where or who!

@@mehdibarzali3952 I play soccer with a Moroccan guy. Good people and grateful to know you! How can I help you create some positive Ripples in your world?

@@SteveHarperrippleon Honestly you are most welcome but if you really REALLY wanna help me you could prove W. Sahara is and has always been Morocco if you believe in it cuz people all around SM(social media) are saying W.Sahara is one thing and Morocco is another and it just made me real mad lately BTW you might be suprised but I'm 12🤣

Go and ask people there most will tell you they are Moroccan
