We all know this school year will be, unlike any other, whether your kids are going back to a physical school or just logging into a classroom from home shut out of our parents out there. I know it can be time consuming to give your kids the extra help they might need
clear and, of course, you up with everything that you're trying to manage on your own. What stressful times, while thankfully the company can we co, can deliver a science, fair or art class right to your door. I was analysed in one of their creates to my knees and nephews who usually pass their day by destroying parts of the house or breaking their arm or something maybe I just get to be the uncle who, since fun stuff in the mail. Well, I got back a great report for multiple days now

At key, we come get thirty percent off your first month, plus free shipping on any great line. Key. We co dot com, slash hustle, that's k, I
have, I see, o dot com, slash, hustle.
This has been, of course, the strangest of years. Talking about twenty twenty, of course, if you happen to be listening and twenty twenty one, I really hope
twenty one is a lot different and twenty twenty right. I think this is one for the four history books and it's been interesting. Take two. I have different
relations with people as the years gone along through the production of this pact, Caston in preparing and writing scripting all that kind of stuff and, of course interacting with listeners. You know, which is my favorite part of all, so I will first of all I should say welcome. This is satisfied school money miss Cristel about today we got an episode featuring this segment throwback Thursday or we take an in depth. Look it's.
On whose story has evolved since we first speech with them. Not what I wanted to talk about here, just by way of introduction is innocent. This feature
hear from a guy named Matthew Matthew, is an australian musician who has created an online community how to teach students how to play the saxophone, and you know as well, grab it and any updates, and if you'd like him, go back to his original episode. I think was episode two hundred and ten. I don't know how long ago that was three years or something that feels like it is like three years and I've been at Matthews story.
I'm arising. Condense of it is that he began pursuing this opportunity. Out of being made redundant, tore being laid off. We tend to say in the: U S like when you lose your job, you are laid off, other places say made redundant, so he was like go and what I want to mention.
Is I've heard the same story of many variations about how, when that happens, it has presented an opportunity for that person and, of course, at first this little scary or you feel panactum, but then the opportunity comes. You know when you ask your
what you really want to do- and you end up going in a direction this completely different from what you would have done otherwise so losing that job, which you know, as I said, can be distressing, and I want to be sensitive when I say this, but it can't be distressing, but I can also lead to an all new future and in Matthews case he talks about it. You know being a godsend.
Actually, I think, that's the word he uses because it allowed him the chance to reinvent himself and now he's teaching saxophone from his home base in Melbourne, Australia to students from the US and Europe in South America and elsewhere. You know it's a true global community that all came about because he use that time to reflect and answer that question. What did he really want to do so with that is my preamble? I want to steal all the thunder from him. What's happened since the original episode was two hundred and ten, let's hear directly from Matthew, and I will come back at the end to wrap this up
support for this by gas, come from C d, W and Hewlett Packard Enterprise at sea. W we get modern services need to be flexible, scalable unpredictable ever they did. It said that, ok,
What what I say next probably
that amounts over security, impressive and freaky.
Three w can implement secure, Hewlett, Packard enterprise, gentle servers that improve speed and performance while reducing rising costs. The product of all. I t, Orchestra,
By C w people who get it, I predict a web address
w dot com, slash hp, I'm in your mind, man
My name is back,
I'm in Melbourne in Australia, I was
way. Lacquer about three orgies
in episode. Two hundred and ten.
My side, hustle and now,
online saxophone. Listen, I run a website called how to play the sex dot com, where I teach
help begin a sexual implies of all ages, Lynn out applied if favorite Rock Sol function blue songs without reading music. I try and do it quickly and easily
with my online sex vine listens membership website, part of my corporate two and a half years ago I got, might redundant
and what that means is my. My company got those massive restructure down. There were six thousand staff who who were no longer required. I was one of those six thousand. Yes, it is
the huge thing so they gave me a bit of a pie out, and I had that rare
combination in my life, as I suspect, a lot of people do all having a little bit of time and a little bit of money. So or what do I do? He don't have to go to work tomorrow? I can afford to eight. I can afford the electricity bill. I can afford the mortgage. What do I really want to do and say that soul searching process was just just an amazing
what's in so I've had some amazing experiences because I've been putting myself out there. My nation is the sacrifice and I've never down again with sexual listens for rock and soul and function blues. I'm not doing jazz of not doing classical. I'm deliberately not doing musical theory that
unleash. So my concept is, I found my nation,
and that's how I think that's important all resistance to find your knee
Should it be your nations and narrow it down the world's replies, and just because you home, just because I like this, doesn't mean that you have to like this
yeah. I like chocolate, I stirring you may actually height chuckled ice cream, but your strawberry ice cream Van
you gonna strawberry, ice cream path because I'm
going down the chocolate offscreen pardon it very difference, even its ice cream, even though its sexual funds, even though it is insert nation or niche. However, you say it from a sexual and especially if you repeat, if you play the game players acts of own again, we do some practice and more practice and more practice. You get better at it from a business.
Back these if you have fun, place, acts of an order. Your thing, your business thing Bay or some, because you are helping people, because you were doing your your thing, your passion,
repeats: do it again help your customers help your clients help? You will fires help your people serve your customers repeats. Then you can't help botz simplistic. Yes,
but you can't help making a little bit of money about that which, in turn starts to snowball.
One day, maybe just one day you might have a new facebook or a new Microsoft or a new insights
make accompanying you, Amazon or insert mega company here, or maybe not maybe you're very happy with just doing I am serving.
People or a hundred people are a thousand people. You do you you do here are some thank you, so much Matthew really crocheted others updates that advice, etc. Lots of good stuff therapy
and listeners. As I said, you know this year has been so strange in many ways, but you know the question that I have been asking myself is: how can I use this time? Well that I am better off at the end of it? When I say better off, I don't necessarily mean in terms of making money or something I just mean. How can I improved myself, and so my question to you is what opportunity is waiting for you, whether you ve been through something like what he went through in terms of being
Kaufman's job or just you know in this is our vortex world that we're right now. So anyway, I'm grey
to him for helping us with a segment already continue these throughout the rest of the year. If you have a question, if you'd like to update us about your site, also come to satisfy school dot com, slash questions, you would like us
the phone lesson. That's not me! That would be Matthew actually how to play the sax, but we'll make it up on the next page, along with anything else mentioned in this episode, maybe some other resources as well, that pages side, hustle school com, one thousand three hundred and fifty six one thousand three hundred and fifty six.
