Hosting Project 150

So I was blown back on what I learned this Thursday on the Kickback 702 podcast that I co- host. We had  special guest Veronica Marquez , Director of Donor Relations with Project 150. Project 150 helps the homeless teens that struggle with life and let alone trying to go to school. It is astounding how many teens are homeless in the Las Vegas area. Project 150 helps these teens with scholarships, clothing, food and help them find jobs. They have a boutique that teens can go shopping at no cost, for shoes, under garments and other items. They help teens with Prom dresses or suits.This is amazing to me I love seeing people come out and help people in need especially kids.

Raider Nation 4 Life

I want to talk a little about my favorite NFL football team, the Las Vegas Raiders! My wife and I are hardcore Raider fans. We faithfully go watch every game with our booster club members at a bar named Legends. Right now, Legends is under renovation, so we have been going to another Raider bar named Chanclas. I am patiently waiting for the Raider stadium to open here in Las Vegas to go watch a game there.  Some unique features the stadium has is, it does not accept paper currency. All transactions are done through a prepaid card that you can load your money on to it there. What I really love is that you can download an app that has options on it like, “Beer Me” which is that at a click of a button you can have someone come deliver a beer to your seat without you having to get up. The stadium has a real turf retractable field that can move in and out of the stadium after each game. It takes about an hour to fully move in and out of stadium.

Repair Cafes

I was reading this article the other day about how the French capital is hosting a dozen of those so-called “repair cafes”. You can bring in any broken electronic device such as a broken phone and a professional volunteer of the electronic field will help you repair them. I thought this was very neat and I think the United States should consider trying them here.

Technology is taking over human jobs.

I learned that fortune 500 companies are now using artificial intelligence tools to interview people.Is this practice fair? They are using facial analysis among other methods to weed out people. Is this ethical? In my opinion it is taking away jobs from people around the world. Especially now more than ever that people need employment. It is scary to imagine what the future holds for our society if technology takes fully over the jobs.

Good start to the month of February

Today February 1, 2021 was a good day not to mention today is my birthday. I love the feeling of waking up to a warm welcome from my daughters and wife each morning. As you get older you start to appreciate the little things. I think when we are younger we live our lives at a fast pace that we forget the little things.
