<p>You&#8217;re invited to witness it all (and participate) as Localverse grows. It&#8217;s an open collaboration with an open business model:</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center"><em><strong>&#8216;Our vision is&#8230; everyoneᐝpowerful&#8217;</strong></em></h3>
<p>We create ideas and inventions, you make the profits. And kick back some so Localverse keeps going.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve realized how:</p>
<ul>
<li>Everyday people and local businesses can solve the world&#8217;s big problems, with the proper tools&#8230;</li>
<li>How with automation moving homeward, we can help to spark a local renaissance&#8230;</li>
</ul>
<p>Then you&#8217;re in good company. Be sure to contact Marino and let&#8217;s start to grow the tribe for Localverse.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center">Quote: <em>“Don&#8217;t undertake a project unless it is manifestly important and nearly impossible” &#8212; Edwin H. Land</em></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Marino is helping create Localverse, a company that aims for local business ownership to swarm the planet. Look around. Imagine that everything in sight is locally made, including all parts of the device you&#8217;re listening to us on. And, better made. That&#8217;s what Localverse aims for. Yet this is an open collaboration. It&#8217;s about &#8216;we&#8217;. Want in? Then contact Marino and let&#8217;s start to grow the tribe for Localverse.</p>

<h2><strong>Timestamped Show Notes: </strong></h2>
<p>00:30 &#8211; Introduction</p>
<p>14:00 &#8211; If I compare it to a local business, let&#8217;s say they have they found a problem, it&#8217;s making people sick, or it&#8217;s harming people in some way. Maybe it&#8217;s not even making them sick, but they know it could harm people. Let&#8217;s say it will cost them five cents to deal with it and then they&#8217;re like, okay, yeah, we got to get rid of this. We&#8217;ll eat the five cents. So when you take a multinational company doing the same decision, now we&#8217;re talking about those five cents adding up to millions, maybe even hundreds of millions dollars. Now that decision is much bigger and we&#8217;ve seen companies do this, well, you know, screw it, people may get sick, they could sue us, and we&#8217;ll still make more profit than there anyway.</p>
<p>21:00 &#8211; People who see the vision and the mission and believe, that&#8217;s why they join. When they start profiting, then other people are going to start joining it, because they&#8217;re going to be looking at the way they&#8217;ve pulled out their hair, trying to figure stuff out and do business. It&#8217;s a lot more smoother and that&#8217;s not available when you&#8217;re closed and isolated, working on your business alone.</p>
<p>31:45 &#8211; I believe there&#8217;s a natural incentive, people like doing that, people love sharing information. But if there&#8217;s an added incentive, if you become part of the profit, you&#8217;ll like it, that&#8217;d be part of the platform. Everything is traced, all ideas, and all suggestions are traced to the people.</p>
<p>40:25 &#8211; In regards to mutual alignment, no political and religious discussions, because they do derail things. But you did bring up something important, I want to say that I&#8217;m thinking ahead on, we want Localverse to have a first major milestone goal, which is to help boost the world to a billion founders and owners and not just businesses. Whether it&#8217;s a non-profit or whatever, the whole thing is local which is the lifeblood of the economy. I want people to understand why, I&#8217;m very obsessive compulsive about finding the mechanism of things, why do things work? It&#8217;s important to envision how things are going to end up, I like to find real mechanisms that you could follow all the way to the end.</p>
<p>54:35 &#8211; Final Words Shown Below…</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Our Final Words of the Show: </strong></h2>
<p>A lot of people are afraid of the error. I was too many years ago and it&#8217;s like you know what, Scott? Sooner or later if you want to change your life, you got to start putting the reps in and you&#8217;re gonna have a bad rep once in a while. It is what it is, so you go back to the drawing board, refocus work on your form, your technique, and then go at it again. Heck, go a different route, change directions, it&#8217;s  about your habits of thinking.</p>

<p>IN THE SPIRIT OF HISTORY: Alcohol played a major role in colonial America. You could even argue that massive taxes on the trade were a trigger for the American Revolution. The Moravians bought their distilling knowledge to Bethlehem in 1741 and the craft has had a presence throughout the entire region ever since. A group of Lehigh Valley friends brings back the authenticity and history of this tradition with products made with local sources.</p>

<h2>Timestamped Show Notes:</h2>
<p>00:30 &#8211; Introduction</p>
<p>08:45 &#8211;&nbsp;I love the innovation man. You guys were listening and said, hey, we can&#8217;t get bottles so let&#8217;s go large volume and we&#8217;ll go door to door truck style to the hospital to deliver it. So that&#8217;s what we&#8217;re doing.</p>
<p>15:00 &#8211; You know, it&#8217;s hard. I wish I had more hours in a day, to be honest with you about that. That&#8217;s always a factor and that was the case beforehand. I&#8217;m a financial advisor by day I know, my clients need to talk through things and look at how their financial plans are dong. Which by the way, has been upended by a virus, which came completely out of the blue, it&#8217;s crazy.</p>
<p>22:00 &#8211;&nbsp;I think with success, America has become more divided. You know, for one reason or another, and this is a good reminder that, hey, we&#8217;re all American. We&#8217;re all in this together.</p>
<p>29:00 &#8211; I&#8217;ve always loved the science of money and that&#8217;s what I studied in school. It&#8217;s fascinating to me, what it does, how it compounds, and everything else. From the simplest case of realigning somebody&#8217;s debt and how to pay off credit cards and things like that, when working with their budget, to significantly detailed estate plans that involve very complicated mechanisms. It&#8217;s all very interesting to me.</p>
<p>38:20 &#8211; It&#8217;s perseverance. A lot of people probably would just say, hey, we can do it once. Let&#8217;s go home and do whatever. I don&#8217;t sit still well and I don&#8217;t like being told no. Which is so common for many of us. But there is always a way around it. You know, we&#8217;ve navigated legal systems and everything else to do what we need to do. The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board, they&#8217;re tough to work with too, but within a week we figured out a lot of stuff with them. We&#8217;re learning the processes there too.</p>
<p>44:50&nbsp;&#8211; Final Words</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Our Final Words of the Show:</h2>
<p>I just see activity and you know, being forced, it is up to being an American and being able to start a business and work every day. If you&#8217;re not happy with what you&#8217;re doing in life, only you have the ability to change that. I think from a standpoint that this might be the opportunity, if you were working somewhere and got laid off, that it might be a time to start looking elsewhere. You need to be the backer of that change.</p>
<p>Ask yourself, is it time to get educated in a different industry or whatnot? You just need to apply yourself, you know, the will to work will probably outpace almost anything, including even in jsome cases, education. You can easily outwork a lot of people. It just takes determination to do that. So get out there, do something positive, and we&#8217;re going to get through this!</p>
