YNAP (You Need A Plan)

More accurately, you need a written plan because even if you don’t think you have a plan, you actually do. No Plan is a plan. It means that you have made the decision to leave your life to chance or luck. So the question is, “Do you feel lucky?”

I think if you take a moment and think about it, it’s easy to see the value of a plan. Basically, a plan serves as a roadmap to get you to where you want to go much like the GPS on your car or Google Maps, and along the way it helps you make better decisions because something either fits with your plan or it doesn’t.

But did you know that having a written plan that you follow can have an added benefit? People with plans are two times more likely to get to where they want to go. In other words, they have a much better chance of success and that, for me, makes the case for having a plan a no brainer. Who doesn’t want to get what they want?

Yet 85 percent of households don’t have a plan for their finances or their life goals. And, that may begin to explain a lot about the stress so many people have around money, the debt levels they carry and the fact that a large majority of people could not cover for a $400 emergency regardless of their income level.

So, what should a plan for your finances look like?

A plan for your finances should take a broad holistic approach so that you have a big picture view of every area of your financial life. Keep in mind that while everyone wants to make more money, the overall purpose is to develop a plan that allows to achieve your life goals through better money management.

Plans can zero-in on one specific topic like retirement or they can cover many elements of your financial life like cash management, insurance and risk management and investments as well as retirement, tax and estate planning, and other specific goals. While a plan doesn’t necessarily have to provide you with every detail of how to get to where you want to go, it should provide you with guides, milestones and checkpoints so that you can tell if you are on the right path at any point in time. Finally, it should be user friendly so that you can update it as you goals and other changes occur in your life.

There is no real substitute for a workable plan if you have goals you want to accomplish. Find out more about FWP and how we can build a plan to help you achieve your life goals. Contact us to schedule a complimentary, no obligation call today!

Morning Ritual To Set Yourself Up For Success
By: Anastasia Sheremeta
Tags: Money Mindset, Boss Lady, Change Your Life, Mindset, Money

If you have days when you wake up feeling really lazy and yet having many things to do that you absolutely have zero desire to do — this is for you.

You can’t force yourself to be discipline, but you can help yourself move in the direction of your dreams, all day, every day.

As soon as you wake up take a journal + pen and get ready.

Write down your ultimate goal that you absolutely want to achieve at some point in life.

Then divide the page on two columns.

In the first column write down what is going to happen with your life, your health, relationships, social life, financial freedom if you will move further away from your goal.

List a few people you know or heard about who did nothing and achieved nothing in their life.

In the second column write down what will happen with your life if you will move towards your goal.

List a few people you know or heard about who did what it takes and achieved the goal.

And see how that makes you feel. This simple exercise will help you decide.

Decide that you’re capable. Decide that you’re going to make it happen anyway. Decide to take inspired actions towards the life you want.

Most of the times I am not disciplined, many times I am lazy, sometimes I totally waste time, but end of the day I do what’s required, I show up for my life because I decided to do so. I show up and do the damn thing because this is the way I design my beautiful life.

The life you want to live is possible. It’s on the other side of fear.

There are some essential rules that should be perceived when talking about the law of attraction. Basically, as stated before, everything that happens in your life is attracted by you. It is important that you understand and take responsibility for the fact that everything that happens in your life is a direct impact of your decisions or thoughts.

A good way to understand the law of attraction is to think of yourself as a big magnet.Presently all the other things on the planet is objects that are pulled in by the magnet. It is significant that you understand what objects you should avoid and what considerations you should attempt to keep from your head. Even if you do not speak out on a thought it can still draw certain things into your life. It is important that you learn to train your brain and do your best to not think negatively.

The law of attraction can work some real wonders for your life. You just have to have a proper understanding of it and use it correctly. One important thing to remember is the fact that even if you do not use the law of attraction to your advantage it still exists and is always working, even if negatively.So you should take a few to get back some composure of it and bridle the genuine capability of its force.

You are A Badass At Making Money by Jan Sincero
By: Hope N
Tags: Money Mindset, Nonfiction, Self Improvement, Book Review, Self Help Books

You Are a Badass at Making Money will launch you past the fears and stumbling blocks that have kept financial success beyond your reach. Drawing on her own transformation — over just a few years — from a woman living in a converted garage with tumbleweeds blowing through her bank account to a woman who travels the world in style, Jen Sincero channels the inimitable sass and practicality that made You Are a Badass an indomitable bestseller. She combines hilarious personal essays with bite-size, aha concepts that unlock earning potential and get real results.

From someone who is a law of attraction enthusiast. This book indeed launched me into an entirely new mindset in relation to my relationship with money. I came face-to-face with my anxieties about wealth and not only that, the book assisted me in coming up with solutions to these pending hurdles. To my surprise, I expected status quo type of information one would receive from money making self-help books. However, Sincere designed the message in this book is a way that a typical millennial would be able to gladly digest.

The only challenging part about this self-help book is that is does take practice after practice. It is the sort of book you read with a pen and paper next to you (if you don’t already do that with self-help books) to do each activity on each chapter. I listened to the audio book and I rate it 4/5. I believe I’d probably rate it 5/5 when I get my hands on the physical book. I’m just being bias because I do enjoy print copies more when it comes to self-help books.

The book teaches you to:

• Uncover what’s holding you back from making money

• Give your doubts, fears, and excuses the heave-ho

• Relate to money in a new (and lucrative) way

• Shake up the cocktail of creation

• Tap into your natural ability to grow rich

• Shape your reality — stop playing victim to circumstance

• Get as wealthy as you want to be

Affirmation: Money loves me and I love money
WHEN A CLIENT SAYS “IT’S NOT IN MY BUDGET.”
By: Clement Eastwood
Tags: Marketing, Photography, Money Mindset, Arr, Money

“It’s not in my budget.” A very short sentence most creatives dislike to hear. So, if it’s not in your budget why did you bother reaching out? This short statement can make one explode. Here’s a secret that’s not so much of a secret… There is no such thing as budget.

It’s either worth the money or it’s not. And if it’s worth the money people will find a way to make the money work. The same person who tells you $600 for your services is not in their budget is the same person spending $600 on designer shoes.

Are there people who can’t genuinely afford your services? YES. There are people who genuinely can’t afford your services but 90% of the people telling you they don’t have the budget just don’t think their money is worth it (what you offer).

It’s not a budget issue, it’s a matter of VALUE. It’s a value issue. People will truly go into debt for what they believe is worth it.

So, if your potential client says they don’t have the budget ask them this — “When people tell me they don’t have the budget, it’s usually because they feel the benefits are not worth it, is that the case here?”

Budget is thrown out the door when and if enough value is present. So use the question above to bring back the conversation to build the value you’re offering them.

The same people telling you they don’t have the budget are the same people going into debt to purchase the new iPhone. BE VALUABLE.
The Genius That Was Gordon Buehrig
By: Sam Maven
Tags: Cars, Cord, Automotive, Classic Cars, Gordon Buehrig

If we had to identify one person from the early days of the automobile who made the largest contribution or had the biggest impact on car design, we’d be hard-pressed to find a better candidate than Gordon Miller Buehrig.

Born in 1904, Buehrig was raised during a time when automobiles were just beginning to take off. Features many of us take for granted today were considered groundbreaking innovations in the industry. As it just so happens, many of those advancements were due to Buehrig.

His design work on some of the most beautiful cars in history were more artistic masterpieces than machines. However, many of his technological advances weren’t just aesthetically pleasing, they were functional.

According to an article on 95 Customs, Buehrig once stated, “Never do anything without a good reason to do it. A beautiful automobile gets its form from its function.”

Among the cars that can claim to be designed by Buehrig were the Stutz Black Hawk, Auburn 851 Boattail Speedster, Duesenberg J, 1951 Ford Victoria Coupe, 1956 Lincoln Continental Mark II, and, perhaps the car he’s most known for, the Cord 810/812.

After growing up in Mason, Ill., Buehrig enrolled at Bradley University in Peoria, Ill., where he studied drafting, art, and wood and metal working. However, he was expelled for none other than drawing car designs on his chemistry notebook (seems like a pretty severe punishment for a crime many wouldn’t consider a crime).

He returned to college shortly after being expelled but never graduated, choosing instead to try his luck in Detroit and the automobile industry. His first couple of years in the industry included stints with Packard, General Motors and Stutz. In 1929, he designed the Stutz Black Hawk, which would compete in the Le Mans.

While he was still with Stutz, he was courted by Duesenberg and eventually signed on to work there. E.L. Cord, who also owned the Auburn Company, had already purchased Duesenberg. Buehrig was named the Chief Designer at Duesenberg and given the task of designing the Model J, as well as other models.

In 1934, he transitioned his efforts to the Auburn. The first car he designed under the Auburn nametag was the Auburn 851 Boattail Speedster. From there, Buehrig transferred to the Cord side of the business where he was asked to create the “Baby Duesenberg.” Instead, the Cord 810/812 was born.
For the Re-CORD: This 1937 Cord 812 Phaeton May Steal the Show
By: Sam Maven
Tags: Cars, Cord, Auction, Classic Cars, Gaa

On November 2-4, 2017, in Greensboro, N.C., more than 500 classic and specialty cars will cross the auction block during the GAA Classic Cars at the Palace.

Although there will be plenty to ooh and ahh over, there is one particular car that will draw its fair share of interest — a 1937 Cord 812 Phaeton that is slated to go under the hammer on Saturday, November 4.

Since the Cord, specifically the Cord 810, was first introduced in 1935 by E.L. Cord at the World’s Fair, it has been considered one of the most attractive cars. Jay Leno had this to say about the Cord: “It’s one of the most revolutionary and certainly one of the most beautiful cars of all time.”

That is certainly high praise from a man who knows his cars and is often sought out for his sage advice pertaining to classic cars. The magazine, Car and Driver, even called the Cord, “the coolest car you never knew existed.”

Cords were first produced from 1929 to 1932 and then again from 1936 to 1937. A little more than two decades later, the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Co. — the company that manufactured Cords — went bankrupt.

Glenn Pray, a high school shop teacher, bought the company in 1960 for $75,000. Six years later he began producing the second generation of the Cords, which resembled the originals. That same year — 1966 — Pray was forced to leave the company and the production of the Cords soon thereafter ceased.

For the second time, the company that was responsible for producing Cords went bankrupt. By the time production of the Cords stopped only 97 of them had been made.

Although Cords were saddled with bad luck when it came to finances, the cars themselves were some of the most innovative of their time. Features that were first found on Cords include front-wheel drive, hidden headlights, gas caps hidden behind a door in the body and a horn ring around the inner circumference of the steering wheel.

It wasn’t until 2016 that Cord started its slow ascension back into the country’s conscience. After the passage of the Low Volume Motor Vehicle Manufacturers Act of 2015, Craig Corbell II purchased the rights to the Cord Motor Vehicle in 2016 at an auction. The new law eases some of the automotive manufacturing requirements for boutique manufacturers.

The 1937 Cord 812 Phaeton that attendees at the GAA Classic Cars at the Palace will have an opportunity to bid on is a yellow two-door convertible with red interior. It is the first American-designed and built front-wheel drive vehicle with independent front suspension.

The car, which carries the iconic Gordon M. Buehrig design, retains its original 289 engine with semi-automatic 4-speed transmission and retractable headlights. The previous owner owned the car for 20 years.

How to set up Alexa with an emergency contact
Tags: Connected Home, Chargers, Home Tech, Cord

Believe it or not, you can’t ask Alexa to dial 9-1-1 (or at least, not without some elaborate workarounds), but thanks to a recently added feature, you can ask her to call a trusted friend or loved one if you need immediate help.



Mentioned in this article Amazon Echo Dot (3rd gen) Read TechHive's reviewMSRP $49.99(3rd gen)" data-vars-link-position-id="005" data-vars-link-position="Product Sidebar" data-po="amazon-ajax" data-product-id="1441840" data-vars-product-id="1441840" data-bkc="HomeTech" data-bkmfr="Amazon" data-vars-bkmfr="Amazon" data-bkvndr="" data-vars-bkvndr="" data-amazon-ajax-link="true" data-amazon-ajax-link-loaded="false" data-amazon-ajax-link-asin="B07FZ8S74R" data-amazon-ajax-link-subtag="US-003-3574012-005-1441840-web-20">See it The first step is to pick an emergency contact from the list of contacts that Alexa drew from your phone’s address book (assuming you granted her permission to do so).



Once you pick an emergency contact, Alexa will both dial and message that person if anyone in your household asks Alexa to "call for help." You can only pick one emergency contact for Alexa at a time, so choose wisely.



[ Further reading: The best smart speakers and digital assistants ] Ben Patterson/IDG You can choose anyone in your Alexa address book to be your emergency contact, so long as they have a U.S. phone number.



How to designate an emergency contact Open the Alexa app on your iPhone or Android phone, tap the Communicate tab, then tap the Contacts button in the top-right corner of the screen. Next, either search or browse for a person you’d like to designate as your emergency contact. Remember, you can only pick one, so make sure you choose someone you trust and who’d be able to help if the need arises. The person must also have a U.S. phone number listed in their contact details; an email address for iMessage won’t work by itself. Once you’ve found the right person, tap their name, then tap Add as an Emergency Contact. If the contact has multiple phone numbers listed, you’ll need to pick one that Alexa can call in an emergency. After you’ve chosen the correct contact number, you’re all set. Asking Alexa for helpNow that you’ve designated an emergency contact, anyone in your home can say “Alexa, call for help” if they need assistance.



When that happens, Alexa will call and text your emergency contact, and the contact will be able to call you back on your Echo Dot, Echo Show, or another Alexa-enabled device that supports Alexa Communications functionality.



One more thing: As the Alexa app will warn you before you pick an emergency contact, using Alexa to call for help isn’t a substitute for dialing 9-1-1 in a dire emergency (such as, say, a fire in your kitchen). If something really bad is happening, call the authorities first, then ask Alexa to call your emergency contact.

Staking vaults have re-opened; stake your VACC to earn partner rewards!

Staking vaults have re-opened; stake your VACC to earn partner rewards! cordfinance May 8·3 min read

Token pairs may differ from those in screenshot

As announced previously, VACC has another powerful usecase! Already we have the global VACC hodler’s multiplier which produces extra rewards in all pools (including partner pools) just for holding VACC in one’s personal wallet — no spending required. This usecase puts VACC in very high demand, because only 37 people on Earth could ever achieve the max VACC hodler’s bonus awarded at a level of 50k VACC. But now is an even more direct usecase, because we will have direct VACC -> Partner token vaults. You will need to stake VACC in order to earn partner rewards, it will never be the CORD vault. This means if you have already acquired 50k VACC, you may want to collect even more! because you want some VACC to stake also to earn partner rewards. This is now a reality in our latest vaults: if you want to earn partner rewards right now, you need to stake VACC on top of the VACC you hodl for global VACC hodler’s multiplier.

The current vaults are as follows

CORD -> VACC

CORD-VACC-LP -> VACC

VACC -> COVAL-BNB-LP

COVAL-BNB-LP -> VACC

Due to the PancakeSwap update to V2, we have had to deploy new vaults for CORD-VACC-LP and COVAL-BNB-LP. If you were previously staking those LP tokens, please go to https://pool.cord.finance/retired/7/ and exit all vaults, then unwind your old CORD-VACC-LP V1 and COVAL-BNB-LP V1 tokens, and create new ones on PancakeSwap V2. Once you have created the new V2 LP tokens, stake them in our live vaults at https://pool.cord.finance/.

Note: The above does not apply to CORD-BNB-LP; we will not be staking V2 LP tokens for that for the foreseeable future, so just unwind your V1 CORD-BNB-LP tokens without creating new V2 LP tokens.

TIP: Stake in the VACC vault before locking any of the other vaults, to ensure you keep your VACC hodler’s bonus! If you do it afterwards and the multipliers drop, just add a tiny extra stake to the other pools to re-activate the VACC hodler bonuses.

VACC gets a new usecase — exclusive staking rights for partner rewards! CORD-BNB-LP & CORD-VACC-LP move to PancakeSwap V2 cordfinance May 3·3 min read

As many are aware, PancakeSwap updated their liquidity pool smart contracts, and asked projects to move liquidity to their V2 pools. This has necessitated a number of actions at CORD.Finance.

First, we have migrated our CORD-VACC liquidity to the V2 contracts. If you hold CORD-VACC-LP on the V1 contracts please remove that liquidity and re-add it to the V2 CORD-VACC-LP. You can no longer stake the old LP tokens.

We could not do that right away with CORD-BNB-LP however, since we have locked that liquidity for 3 years on UniCrypt. It took UniCrypt a few weeks to develop a migration contract. It is now complete and we have migrated our CORD-BNB-LP to V2 also. For more details see more recent Medium articles like this one: https://cordfinance.medium.com/cord-bnb-liquidity-now-migrated-to-pancakeswap-v2-99-locked-for-3-years-5a5e3d937ce7

How does this affect VACC holders? It adds another powerful usecase! Already we have the global VACC hodler’s multiplier which produces extra rewards in all pools (including partner pools) just for holding VACC in one’s personal wallet — no spending required. This usecase puts VACC in very high demand, because only 37 people on Earth could ever achieve the max VACC hodler’s bonus awarded at a level of 50k VACC.

The upcoming vaults will be as follows

CORD -> VACC

CORD-VACC-LP -> VACC

VACC -> COVAL-BNB-LP

COVAL-BNB-LP -> VACC

There is quite a bit of new contract deployment to manage this time, so the new vaults will go live in a few days.

The team includes a PhD statistician and developer with 25 years experience, tokenomics experts who understand the economics of digital assets, networking experts with international connections in such diverse areas as finance, farming, and charity, as well as both ERC20 and NFT developers. On the DeFi side, CORD.Finance runs staking pools/vaults on an ongoing basis for CORD holders (and its deflationary pairing token VACC). The CORD.Finance team actively seeks out staking partnerships with other projects, as this can provide a synergistic benefit to both projects by increasing exposure and economies of scale. Other real-world partnerships being cultivated by the CORD.Finance team include those in charity, farming and banking.

We’ve developed a brand new, modern website at CORD.Finance, with relevant content and visuals to keep visitors interested and eager to invest. The new domain name and website better reflect our focus on innovative DeFi solutions and partnerships, which we continue to develop and cultivate.

Renewed ongoing partnership with Coval (Circuits of Value) for another 3-week duration in our pools/vaults

Renewed ongoing partnership with Coval (Circuits of Value) for another 3-week duration in our pools/vaults cordfinance Jan 21·2 min read

Token pairs may differ from those in screenshot

We are very pleased to announce that we have renewed our ongoing partnership with Coval (Circuits of Value) for yet another 3-week duration in our liquidity locking pools (vaults)! The four active pools will remain the same as currently:

CORD -> VACC

CORD-VACC-LP -> VACC

CORD-ETH-LP -> COVAL-ETH-LP

COVAL-ETH-LP -> VACC

The current pools will end in 3 1/2 days (~1 AM Pacific time Saturday the 9th). We will wait ~72 hours after they end before starting the next round in order to allow investors to unlock their stakes if they wish. Pools may restart as early as ~1 AM Pacific time Tuesday the 12th.

Details:

- Once we restart a pool you will not be able to unlock your stake in that pool until the next pool completion in 3 weeks (you can always withdraw unlocked liquidity whether a pool is dormant or running). Therefore if you plan to unlock your liquidity in one of the vaults we are restarting, do not miss the 72 hour window beginning ~1 AM Pacific time Saturday the 9th!

- Secondly, note per the footnotes below the pools that 3 weeks after a pool ends (unless the pool is restarted), any unclaimed rewards may be recycled and no longer claimable by the staker. This does not apply to staked funds, only rewards.

- Finally, if you plan to leave your funds staked, no action is required on your part, you may leave the stakes and rewards alone through the reset.

Our pools can be accessed at https://pool.cord.finance/

CORD.Finance move to Binance Smart Chain (BSC) — Part I — Liquidity Swap

CORD.Finance move to Binance Smart Chain (BSC) — Part I — Liquidity Swap cordfinance Feb 20·2 min read

CORD.Finance migrating to Binance Smart Chain (BSC)

CORD.Finance is now in the process of migrating the OLDCORD token on Ethereum to Binance Smart Chain (BSC). As we have not received any new migration deposits in a week, we are moving two weeks ahead of schedule. For those who hold OLDCORD and have not yet migrated, you have until March 5th (as originally stipulated) to contact the CORD Team and request manual migration. However, any new purchases of OLDCORD made after this announcement will not be eligible for migration. Hence, do NOT BUY the OLDCORD token on Ethereum, or if you accidentally do, sell it back into ETH immediately. Eventually the OLDCORD-ETH LP will dry up — this is no longer officially supported as of NOW.

During Part I now underway

The list price of CORD on Ethereum will plunge some 80%. This is the first step in transferring liquidity to BSC. THIS IS NOT A RUG PULL. DO NOT PANIC.

The liquidity will re-emerge on BSC in the CORD-BNB pair.

This may last 24–48 hours, after which Part II will commence

Your new CORD on Binance Smart Chain will be airdropped to your address on the BSC network.

Your new VACC on Binance Smart Chain will be airdropped to your address on the BSC network (amount in wallet plus migration vault rewards accrued up to Feb 19).

The new BSC vaults at https://pool.cord.finance will go live.

Contract for VACC on Binance Smart Chain

REMINDER: For those who hold OLDCORD and have not yet migrated, you have until March 5th (as originally stipulated) to contact the CORD Team and request manual migration. If you are in a retired pool/vault, unstake from it ASAP and contact team for instructions.

IMPORTANT NOTE: No OLDCORD tokens purchased on the Ethereum blockchain after the liquidity transfer was announced will be transferable to the new blockchain. Do NOT BUY OLDCORD after commencement of liquidity transfer set to begin NOW, Feb 19th.

CORD.Finance burned 900 more VACC today (1000 burned so far): join the 50k VACC club while you still can!

CORD.Finance burned 900 more VACC today (1000 burned so far): join the 50k VACC club while you still can! cordfinance Apr 7·3 min read

As discussed at length on the CORD.Finance website, our deflationary pairing token VACC also benefits (like CORD) from a low total supply (LESS THAN 1.9m), has a decreasing release schedule over four years, cannot be minted, and it can (and has been) burned. Today we burned 900 more VACC, to total 1000 VACC burned so far. This is proportional to the 10 CORD we have burned so far, so the total supplies of VACC:CORD are now back to 100:1, or 1899000:18990 (and falling).

This is also a good time to remind you why VACC is so valuable, and why it is smart to hodl that VACC earned farming in our pools/vaults, and/or pick some up on PancakeSwap. There are many usecases, including combining into CORD-VACC-LP for staking, and future governance, but the usecase we want to highlight today is the global VACC hodler’s multiplier. This multiplier produces extra rewards in all pools (including partner pools!) just for holding VACC in one’s personal wallet — no spending required. Every 1000 VACC you hold earns an extra 1%. This usecase puts VACC in very high demand, because mathematically only 37 people on Earth could ever achieve the max VACC hodler’s bonus awarded at a level of 50k VACC. In truth it is much lower, because many VACC (over 200k as of today) are locked up in the CORD-VACC liquidity pool on Binance Smart Chain (BSC). Effectively, holding VACC in one’s wallet is like a turbo-charger for all pools/vaults including partner pools. Check out the screenshot below, in which this investor has 50k VACC in his personal wallet, and is therefore enjoying the maximum reward multiplier of 150% in all vaults.

Token pairs may differ from those in screenshot

When CORD.Finance onboards new partners (which will happen within a couple days as a matter of fact when valued partner Coval rejoins the team in our vaults here on BSC), this means one could earn not only more VACC, but also more Coval. Many more partnerships are expected to happen, and hodling that VACC means you earn more rewards in ALL the pools/vaults hosted by CORD.Finance.

Roku rescues Quibi’s entertainment content
Tags: Deals, Cord, Mobile, Internet

The pandemic turned Quibi into a punchline in less time than it took to watch one of the service’s “quick bite” videos, but Roku saw value in Quibi’s entertainment content and has acquired the rights to distribute the material on its free, ad-supported Roku Channel.



Conceived as a service that people could watch on their smartphones while on the go—during a commute, for example—Quibi might have worked had the pandemic not forced most of its target audience to isolate at home.



Putting Quibi’s business model aside, the service—headed by Jeffrey Katzenberg—had lined up an impressive array of Hollywood talent on both sides of the camera, including directors Sam Raimi (Spiderman), Ridley Scott (Alien), and Antoine Fuqua (Training Day); and actors such as Liam Hemsworth (The Hunger Games), Christopher Waltz (Django Unchained), and Sophie Turner (Game of Thrones).



[ Further reading: Amazon Prime Video vs Hulu vs Netflix ] Mentioned in this article Quibi Read TechHive's reviewLearn moreon Quibi TechHive’s resident film critic, Jeffrey M. Anderson, reviewed Quibi’s content and came away impressed, awarding the service with a 4-star review when it launched in April, 2020. Anderson praised shows such as The Most Dangerous Game, Survive, and the documentary You Ain’t Got These.



He also noted that the service offered a fair amount of trash, including the celebrity-starring reality shows Nikki Fresh (Nicole Richie) and Chrissy’s Court (Chrissy Tiegen).



Michael Brown / IDG Sophie Turner (Game of Thrones) starred in the Quibi episodic streaming series Survive.



Anderson was also impressed with the tech wizardry that allowed the viewer to see a different angle of a scene by rotating their mobile device from landscape to portrait mode, not something that can be accomplished with a TV.



The biggest issue, however, is how Roku will present the content it has licensed. It seems unlikely that Roku customers accustomed to binge-watching will be interested in watching movies and TV series chopped into 10-minute segments—with ads sandwiched between. But many of the content deals that Quibi signed with film producers include a provision that hands the rights back to the creator after two years, so they can reassemble the episodic content into a feature-length film. We reached out to Roku for clarification on this point, but a company spokesperson would only say that “more information will be released soon.”



Terms of the deal were not announced, either, but rumor has it that Quibi had previously shopped its content to Apple, Facebook, and WarnerMedia without success. I suspect Roku got a good deal.
