Brady Hugins: Okay… Get my stuff set up.
Brady Hugins: This is set up for… The meeting on February 13th.
Brady Hugins: It's 9.50 AM, I'm just getting set up.
Brady Hugins: Some of my screens… Let's see here,
Brady Hugins: Oh, my deck.
Brady Hugins: Still running issues with the slide deck. I have all the content that I want to share, it's just getting it in the right format.
Brady Hugins: And imagery… It's a 9.51. I don't expect anyone to join, so I may just be… Recording the call.
Brady Hugins: And taking through a recorded call today.
Brady Hugins: So… Part of the reason why we're doing this webinar series is to show that
Brady Hugins: These activities can be done from anywhere that you have internet. We have…
Brady Hugins: capabilities now, where Starlink, and we have Starlink.
Brady Hugins: And other available providers where we can get either satellite or cell service.
Brady Hugins: that can fit…
Brady Hugins: you know, are basically uses. We can be at different places so that we can travel more, or we can…
Brady Hugins: Work more on the field.
Brady Hugins: So it gives us a better ability to go out.
Brady Hugins: To different land places as well, and expand the technology in its broader use as well.
Brady Hugins: In simple forms, in some ways, simple sensors, or simple… Methods could be used, but…
Brady Hugins: I like to create a very neutral approach.
Brady Hugins: to development, and…
Brady Hugins: To make sure that all tools can be used… well, all tools can be used for good capacity at their various forms, even a shovel.
Brady Hugins: Is an important tool.
Brady Hugins: And there's different types of shovels that can be better tools than others, depending on the instance.
Brady Hugins: So… When we're using tools, we shouldn't be saying that
Brady Hugins: This shovel is better than that one, as much as… It's an independent choice.
Brady Hugins: It's a choice about what's the need for that person and for that need.
Brady Hugins: So, the mirror-mirror system is a system that is designed to
Brady Hugins: Reflect the ideas that are coming out from the inside of people.
Brady Hugins: They're there, too.
Brady Hugins: Hold on a sec, let me check my notes…
Brady Hugins: Okay.
Brady Hugins: Boy, that's all messed up.
Brady Hugins: Just taking some notes… And… updating my slide deck.
Brady Hugins: I still need to update my LinkedIn, and I'll put clips of this online, the audio or video online.
Brady Hugins: So we'll break this down and use it as needed, and as an introduction for the series.
Brady Hugins: This presentation is going to be going through some iterations, for sure.
Brady Hugins: As I'm… Doing work on it now.
Brady Hugins: better.
Brady Hugins: Oh my gosh, much better.
Brady Hugins: Okay.
Brady Hugins: Okay, let's check these webinar intakes…
Brady Hugins: So when you adjust the webinar intake, that's not a live link at the moment.
Brady Hugins: Let's check the Acuity scheduling…
Brady Hugins: We don't even have 30 minutes on the… so we need to put that in Mirror Mirror, and then adjust the Alex Star astrology and put in…
Brady Hugins: Basically, a generic… Prompt that fits a lot of these events.
Brady Hugins: And because the Acuity page needs some tuning.
Brady Hugins: And then the checklist… There's no checklist, so there's some broken links in here.
Brady Hugins: as well…
Brady Hugins: So that needs to be changed and adjusted, but the information is good. We're going to need to build out some of these parts.
Brady Hugins: So I will just use what I have. It looks like some of this imagery is a little bit lower resolution. We should increase the resolution, use the higher resolution copies of these.
Brady Hugins: Yeah… Yeah.
Brady Hugins: Okay, so I'll adjust this, we'll probably put this in Descript, take out different parts of it, use the useful parts, and take some of the other videos and different audios that we have.
Brady Hugins: For everything, I have 2 minutes, before starting. Let's see if we can… Open up.
Brady Hugins: Okay.
Brady Hugins: Okay… Good.
Brady Hugins: Okay, I'm just gonna open up…
Brady Hugins: Here…
Brady Hugins: So… Alright, 10 a.m.
Brady Hugins: So, it's 10 AM, Friday, February 13th.
Brady Hugins: Happy to have everyone on the recording here. I'll be sending out this and some updates so that people can see what I'm working on from a technical capacity.
Brady Hugins: Happy to have you all here if you're listening in or watching.
Brady Hugins: My name's Brady Huggins.
Brady Hugins: And I am a developer.
Brady Hugins: I've developed a… architecture, technical architecture that I'm sharing here today.
Brady Hugins: That fits in a number of different brands that I've launched over the last year.
Brady Hugins: And then also… what that implies and impacts, I think, just about everyone on the planet.
Brady Hugins: and how we can use what I call data sovereignty, for our understanding.
Brady Hugins: And then also to our benefit, that we can benefit ourselves and other people. There's a number of different tools that are generated
Brady Hugins: now.
Brady Hugins: That show us evidence that things have been shifting quite dramatically from an information level.
Brady Hugins: So…
Brady Hugins: I'm going to be working through the next 45 minutes to an hour, and talking through these subjects, recording some of this, and making sure that people have this information generally available.
Brady Hugins: I'll be taking notes here, too, so,
Brady Hugins: I'll be doing some edits and everything as well, so…
Brady Hugins: I'm going to be taking everyone through a guided 15-minute or less creative meditation ideation series.
Brady Hugins: this is a flow that I've created for myself that I am sharing with other people so that they can use it themselves.
Brady Hugins: it's a meditation and a creative process that I use to deploy my own ideas and to consider, what…
Brady Hugins: what I want to create in the future, and I want to share that method to other people.
Brady Hugins: Then, I will be giving some opportunities for people to write after that.
Brady Hugins: plan to ingest some of the ideas while I give a general introduction for myself.
Brady Hugins: And then we'll go into data sovereignty, what it is in the past.
Brady Hugins: Present and future, and then what context
Brady Hugins: That impacts us in a practical capacity, and then where do we find ourselves now?
Brady Hugins: We don't… this is our first session, we're just getting started. This is going to be either a weekly or monthly series, depending on need and volume.
Brady Hugins: And I intend it to be a paid series, whereas this information is really higher-end information. I do do introductory calls, but they're usually more consultative and technical.
Brady Hugins: This is a great first step into the world of creating
Brady Hugins: Infrastructure, technology, and utilizing all of that to your… and your ecosystem.
Brady Hugins: We are ecosystem-based.
Brady Hugins: Beans.
Brady Hugins: We are interdependent, in the sense that we function not only individually, but amongst other individuals.
Brady Hugins: And we're interconnected. And that's an important quality that we all have.
Brady Hugins: And should understand about each other. And we should communicate openly about our needs that are almost always different. No one has the same body, no one has the same experience, and therefore our needs can be different than each other.
Brady Hugins: And our creative capacities can be different, too.
Brady Hugins: So, we will be taking in some ingestion, for…
Brady Hugins: questions and answers that we're going to be answering in the future, developing FAQ for this process, and then using for clients and developers. I have a number of different developers.
Brady Hugins: that have expressed interest in training here in Phoenix, and then… that I know, broadly speaking. And so, there'll be interest, from…
Brady Hugins: Our company to have… More capacity, if that's needed for people.
Brady Hugins: Okay.
Brady Hugins: Next steps.
Brady Hugins: Okay So, we'll go through… I'm going to take everyone through the creative process.
Brady Hugins: Okay, this is the presentation intro. So…
Brady Hugins: Part of it is I'm going to be talking about the past, present, and future of data sovereignty, and then also taking us through a creative meditation.
Brady Hugins: the arrival, so…
Brady Hugins: I want everyone to make sure that they have… when they go through a meditation, or they go through a process, this could be out in nature.
Brady Hugins: Underneath a tree…
Brady Hugins: It could be sitting at your desk. It could be anywhere that you feel like is a place for you to
Brady Hugins: Maybe have a moment of peace and quiet so that you can go about that creative process, more free thinking and ideas.
Brady Hugins: I've used blue. Blue's a great color to focus in on in order to consider…
Brady Hugins: An idea of pure thinking, or the idea of clarity?
Brady Hugins: And so, I've worn blue so that people have that reference, but it's whatever color calls to you, but that's the one that, when I think about things creatively, that I reference towards.
Brady Hugins: Greens are more… Well… All the colors mean different things, which is interesting to understand.
Brady Hugins: So, everyone should have a pen and paper, or a pencil and paper.
Brady Hugins: And… or a phone, or something to take notes at. You'll want to write things down, or put things into form after we're done.
Brady Hugins: So, with that, I'll, take us into the meditation.
Brady Hugins: So… I want everyone to, find a comfort… Comfortable place, seated, or… Some cases recline, but…
Brady Hugins: Seating is a very active… Process for the mine.
Brady Hugins: And find your body, align your spine up, and your neck, and your… the lower hips.
Brady Hugins: So that you're in a comfortable place.
Brady Hugins: And close your eyes gently.
Brady Hugins: And breathe in with me. One long breath.
Brady Hugins: As we gather ourselves, another breath.
Brady Hugins: In this… Space we've created for ourselves.
Brady Hugins: Another breath.
Brady Hugins: Very good.
Brady Hugins: And what I want you to envision in this… Void.
Brady Hugins: That we're all experiencing. This openness of creative space.
Brady Hugins: Is a gentle blue light.
Brady Hugins: A field.
Brady Hugins: Think of it as a creative field, something and a place that you can put anything into.
Brady Hugins: And that it would have a space for that.
Brady Hugins: And gently think to yourself some of the things that…
Brady Hugins: You notice about the field.
Brady Hugins: Like, it's broad… It's very… consistent.
Brady Hugins: And… It's very supportive.
Brady Hugins: Those are all… Fantastic foundational things to build anything.
Brady Hugins: And what I want you to do is I want you to take… a feeling.
Brady Hugins: From any part in your body, but… A joyful feeling.
Brady Hugins: And take it around your body, and feel what's going on in your body as you're in the field.
Brady Hugins: And explore what's going around as this energy goes around your body.
Brady Hugins: And then I want you to imagine…
Brady Hugins: your body emanating a gentle light. It could be bright, but it could be gentle.
Brady Hugins: That matches the surroundings.
Brady Hugins: And then there are… light.
Brady Hugins: that can assist you. You can ask questions to. You can… connect with.
Brady Hugins: Right?
Brady Hugins: And then when you think about
Brady Hugins: What you want to create in that space.
Brady Hugins: They notice it.
Brady Hugins: So… These can be… Spirits, they can be…
Brady Hugins: you know, you can ask Tesla to be there, you can ask out…
Brady Hugins: Albert Einstein to be there. You can ask your favorite teacher to be there. Living or dead, it doesn't matter.
Brady Hugins: To see. Not to tell as much as to witness and observe.
Brady Hugins: And to give you guidance if needed. They can be anyone that you can imagine in your mind.
Brady Hugins: I recommend 1, 2, 3, or more, or less. You can just do it yourself, you don't need anyone else to be there, but it's helpful to look at different perspectives to ask questions.
Brady Hugins: So, think of… spirits.
Brady Hugins: In living, or… Or non-living form.
Brady Hugins: That are there to help create and to look at things.
Brady Hugins: And then I want you to think of an idea. Now, this could be an artistic idea. It could be a house. It could be…
Brady Hugins: a business. It could be a product. It can be… An invention.
Brady Hugins: It can be… A family.
Brady Hugins: It doesn't matter as long as it's an honest.
Brady Hugins: idea. And I want you to…
Brady Hugins: Think of it as coming into form.
Brady Hugins: And that these lights are swirling around it, looking at all the various aspects of you, as your ideas are coming into form in this general blue field.
Brady Hugins: And you'll notice,
Brady Hugins: maybe some feelings, maybe some objects or processes that will come up. This could be a memory, it could be a…
Brady Hugins: an idea.
Brady Hugins: That you may want to create or have thought of.
Brady Hugins: Or… Something nostalgic that you've experienced, an emotion that you've experienced that you want to recreate.
Brady Hugins: It could be an event. It could be…
Brady Hugins: a vacation.
Brady Hugins: It could be a boat.
Brady Hugins: It could be a scuba trip. It doesn't matter. It could be… A quesadilla.
Brady Hugins: you know… Some people have their favorite things.
Brady Hugins: And some people want that most in that moment, right?
Brady Hugins: And as you'll notice, as the thing or the idea comes into form, you'll notice that there will be certain smells.
Brady Hugins: Or certain.
Brady Hugins: Textures.
Brady Hugins: It's certain objects. Some things will be metallic, some things will be just ideas.
Brady Hugins: Some things will, like, have, like, a physical form.
Brady Hugins: And I want you to think about this, and start creating in your mind about what this experience is, this quality that you're creating.
Brady Hugins: It could have money in it. It could have physical things in it.
Brady Hugins: It could have…
Brady Hugins: Simple things. Coffee.
Brady Hugins: I love coffee.
Brady Hugins: I could be having a new kitchen.
Brady Hugins: There's a number of different things that you can put in here, and there's anything, amount of things that you can go about that process.
Brady Hugins: So I want you to smell the things that need smelling, and I want you to touch the things that need touching, and I want you to feel the textures.
Brady Hugins: Of things. And I want you to notice how the lights are giving you feedback about noticing certain things, or certain things are in or out of place, and that there's a construction going on.
Brady Hugins: And they don't want you to think about…
Brady Hugins: How it… Deals.
Brady Hugins: I want you to think about how… what stories are coming up. How does it feel?
Brady Hugins: And I want you to notice.
Brady Hugins: How what you make makes other people feel.
Brady Hugins: What do they notice?
Brady Hugins: What do they feel?
Brady Hugins: Why do they feel that way?
Brady Hugins: How does your story fit in with theirs?
Brady Hugins: How does this creation fit in with theirs?
Brady Hugins: I want you to… Observe.
Brady Hugins: And watch.
Brady Hugins: the lights… Creation?
Brady Hugins: The feelings?
Brady Hugins: I want you to just take it all in.
Brady Hugins: And breathe in… And out.
Brady Hugins: And breathe in.
Brady Hugins: And breathe out.
Brady Hugins: And breathe in.
Brady Hugins: And breathe out.
Brady Hugins: And I want you to give gratitude.
Brady Hugins: For everything that's there in your field.
Brady Hugins: And I want you to give…
Brady Hugins: Consideration.
Brady Hugins: In respect?
Brady Hugins: And kindness.
Brady Hugins: to everything.
Brady Hugins: That just helps you construct that.
Brady Hugins: I'll take a general, general moment to take in the detail.
Brady Hugins: As we open our eyes… And 3.
Brady Hugins: 2.
Brady Hugins: Welcome back!
Brady Hugins: Now, I want everyone to take their pencil and paper and start writing down the idea… the form…
Brady Hugins: The people, and the feelings.
Brady Hugins: Now.
Brady Hugins: Do so now.
Brady Hugins: We'll do this for about 2 or 3 minutes.
Brady Hugins: And then I will start my introduction, and you're welcome to keep writing.
Brady Hugins: During my introduction.
Brady Hugins: So we'll pause there.
Brady Hugins: Undo that.
Brady Hugins: What are you creating?
Brady Hugins: question.
Brady Hugins: Who is involved?
Brady Hugins: What tangible parts are needed?
Brady Hugins: Are there any physicality?
Brady Hugins: What resources are needed?
Brady Hugins: It's not just money.
Brady Hugins: As you notice.
Brady Hugins: What would be the first logical step?
Brady Hugins: Plan and execute.
Brady Hugins: Within 24 hours or less.
Brady Hugins: It could be immediate.
Brady Hugins: Alright, great. I'll continue… everyone can keep writing as they'd like. Happy that you can do that at home, or wherever you're at.
Brady Hugins: Again, my name's Brady Hugans, you're welcome to be here. Thank you all for attending today. We're about 20 minutes in.
Brady Hugins: To our presentation with… About 20 to 30 minutes left.
Brady Hugins: I'm the founder of Mirror Mirror Systems, as well as a multitude of breads under the Blue Oak ecosystem. I've started this business a year ago with the intent of building a technological and
Brady Hugins: Brand integrated style ecosystem.
Brady Hugins: I have been successful about constructing a significant number of parts.
Brady Hugins: Because I have a history of enterprise and small-scale businesses and independent ecosystems, whether they work with
Brady Hugins: Technical, capacities, or they're working with… Business utilities.
Brady Hugins: I come from the enterprise world, in the sense that I've spent
Brady Hugins: More than 3 to 5 years.
Brady Hugins: I spent 10 years at enterprise-level companies.
Brady Hugins: 3 years or more at technical management enterprise-level companies at Salesforce, specifically.
Brady Hugins: So, what that brings from a practical capacity is I know what the enterprise-level companies are capable of.
Brady Hugins: And I know where the influx of this technology is impacting those.
Brady Hugins: So, I have… a healthy awareness of what's going on in the marketplace, and I'm happy to share.
Brady Hugins: For a focus, I've moved towards practical development of technologies. I've come from a mining background, I've been on
Brady Hugins: 50 mining or exploration mine sites, using old technology, using new technology, and hybrid systems.
Brady Hugins: So, I have a practical… use of tech in the American West.
Brady Hugins: And… Much in industrial work.
Brady Hugins: where I find interest is in the creative and… Business and Governance Processes
Brady Hugins: I see that we're on the culmination of a number of different technologies are coming into form at the fall of a number of different economic and business systems at the same time.
Brady Hugins: So… It behooves us to discuss what data and technical architecture is, because their old architectures are falling.
Brady Hugins: So, it's up to a new breed of people to…
Brady Hugins: take on the mantle and stewardship, and I've identified those as the creative people.
Brady Hugins: The people that are willing to try and to experiment and try new things will do the best.
Brady Hugins: So in the past, what has information and data been?
Brady Hugins: Oral tradition has governed most of broad civilization in the past.
Brady Hugins: It was a way for us to carry stories, memories, myths over campfires and other places.
Brady Hugins: of discussion.
Brady Hugins: Oratory history has a stronger significance in some cultures than other.
Brady Hugins: And being an auditory-based person myself, in a technical field, I find myself crossed between many modalities and mediums.
Brady Hugins: Audio being one of them, and oratory. I tend to be…
Brady Hugins: Audi… audibly oriented, more than visual.
Brady Hugins: Even though most of my work has been around visual work.
Brady Hugins: There's a shifting of mediums.
Brady Hugins: As we see.
Brady Hugins: As people have had libraries in the past, people will have data libraries in the future. It'll be common.
Brady Hugins: Books and archives made knowledge portable and durable, so when the printing press, the Gutenberg printing press came out, I think it was the 1400s or 1500s, I'll have to fact check that.
Brady Hugins: What that did was it enabled the mass production of Bibles.
Brady Hugins: which brought about the Protestant Revolution because the mass production of Bibles brought The general understanding of what
Brady Hugins: a more direct understanding of what Yeshua was saying, Jesus was saying.
Brady Hugins: And that changed all of Europe and broader society.
Brady Hugins: So, the impact of… Items being developed and tools being developed do have implications in broader society.
Brady Hugins: Libraries have been organized and shared to understand society. We still have yet libraries to dive into in certain areas of the world. There are secret archives for us to dive into.
Brady Hugins: And at the same time, we have the tools to manage it, to see it.
Brady Hugins: The archives that we see now can be political, They can be archaeological.
Brady Hugins: But they impact us all, and many of them need to be shown in a more public forum.
Brady Hugins: In order to be discussed, known, and shared.
Brady Hugins: And the stewardship of this information.
Brady Hugins: Whether we have the information or not is what shapes civilization, and understanding that.
Brady Hugins: Now… The practical takeaway is that we have these components anyway.
Brady Hugins: This is a natural process. Understanding natural designs is something you can just see in the natural world.
Brady Hugins: And experiment with.
Brady Hugins: But what we learn from others in libraries is people that aren't here.
Brady Hugins: The people that were here before us.
Brady Hugins: That left a record of what was important for them to write about.
Brady Hugins: Anyone that writes something, Maybe should be read.
Brady Hugins: And we're at the broadest intersection of
Brady Hugins: society that I know to have a direct connection to reading just about Any publicly available information.
Brady Hugins: That you can… Conceive.
Brady Hugins: Data loss is a civilization risk, so we've talked about the… well, I haven't talked about it, but…
Brady Hugins: The fall of Alexandria is an idea of… is… is… is an occurrence that happened
Brady Hugins: with the library… the burning of the Alexandria Library. And the reason why is because that marks the end of
Brady Hugins: I was losing a great deal of information that was important for us to understand before that time period.
Brady Hugins: There's a number of different records after the floods and before the flood.
Brady Hugins: the great flood that happened, I think it was 10 to 12,000 years ago, that
Brady Hugins: A lot of the records were about that, and we've lost those.
Brady Hugins: So…
Brady Hugins: What technology and data will do is we'll be able to put together the pieces to understand what really happened.
Brady Hugins: Rather than relying on some government institution, or someone saying that this is an authority, you'll just say, well, you can just do the evidence and analysis yourself.
Brady Hugins: And come to the conclusion, and we have the tools to do that.
Brady Hugins: Modern systems fail differently. We have account loss, broken backups, there can be corruption issues that's happening with data, there's
Brady Hugins: All sorts of erroring and workflow issues and dead nodal points that still… Our issues with…
Brady Hugins: Current software development, but now we're able to do it much faster.
Brady Hugins: So… What I think is important to consider is that data is important to be across multiple mediums.
Brady Hugins: Oratory… And… also…
Brady Hugins: in a print form, or written form, and then also in a data form. So, that that's…
Brady Hugins: Responsible stewardship is to consider many mediums for information.
Brady Hugins: Why data sovereignty matters now.
Brady Hugins: So…
Brady Hugins: There's a number of reasons why data sovereignty matters now.
Brady Hugins: And… Not all of them are listed here, and I…
Brady Hugins: I need to spell them out a little bit clearer.
Brady Hugins: Is that data sovereignty is a function of the stewardship of the age.
Brady Hugins: It's something that's been… we being born in this age.
Brady Hugins: If you consume any form of social media, you have a website, you have an email address, if you…
Brady Hugins: Search for information online.
Brady Hugins: Those are forms of data use.
Brady Hugins: we're referring to other forms of information. Now, it's so common, you know, when you go on a YouTube, and it's going on a Netflix, and it's just like, it's so…
Brady Hugins: Spread that you just… Feel like it's just always been there in some ways, and it hasn't.
Brady Hugins: I was renting DVDs of Netflix back before they could stream things. I was watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer over DVDs, rental DVDs of Netflix.
Brady Hugins: That was back in the early 2000s.
Brady Hugins: And they started that way, in a different medium.
Brady Hugins: the same company. Now, do they do that anymore? No, they sold off that company.
Brady Hugins: And then they focused on streaming, their core business, which is what they wanted to get into. They started something else, a different medium.
Brady Hugins: So, mediums can change, and they're likely to change, and it's to consider things across multiple mediums as important.
Brady Hugins: So, what's happening now is that the tools are becoming so…
Brady Hugins: Good that they're compressing a lot of the needs that's happening at the tech stack
Brady Hugins: Developers, so the full tech stack developers and… arm… doing what…
Brady Hugins: Software intended to be done, which is to take the idea and to put it more in form.
Brady Hugins: Before they were writing the code.
Brady Hugins: And saying that this needs to be put in form. Now they're saying, I want this to happen, and I want it to be constructed in this way, we need to have these parameters, and then we need to deploy it here.
Brady Hugins: That's a different process.
Brady Hugins: It's more auditory.
Brady Hugins: It shows a different use of the brain.
Brady Hugins: And it shows a different use of the function of the industry as it goes along with the tools.
Brady Hugins: So… There's some platform dependency issues that…
Brady Hugins: When people migrate tools, or they try something different, that's fatiguing.
Brady Hugins: So, it's going to more naturalized tools, easier tools, tools that do some of the work either for you or pre-designed for you.
Brady Hugins: So… AI and automation can amplify weak automation practices, especially if there's no experience and there's no checks.
Brady Hugins: Checking error logs, and dead nodal points, and…
Brady Hugins: I've run into issues of duplicate… of duplicating calendars, where I've had to clean up 20,000 entries on something because it got left on something.
Brady Hugins: So… There's things that, especially at the beginning of this curve, that can affect people.
Brady Hugins: Differently, as they're working with different automation tools.
Brady Hugins: Which is what we talk about today.
Brady Hugins: We're talking about data and automation because the creative process is shifting.
Brady Hugins: And the creation that you created here.
Brady Hugins: It behooves us to use some of the tools that we have available so that that creative process is much easier to find better.
Brady Hugins: And then also considered from multiple perspectives. So, I start off with the creative process, make sure that someone has an idea in mind, and then I start giving you information in order to start building that.
Brady Hugins: So, practicality is…
Brady Hugins: high visibility and high understanding about what's going on. You have to see what's underneath it, and that's the hardest part, is understanding what's going on underneath the scenes.
Brady Hugins: So, data can go run in all sorts of directions with these automations, which is why people are… get concerned about them, because they're…
Brady Hugins: they think AI is gonna take things over, and it's like, well…
Brady Hugins: Someone can leave a spammer on, and… not check it.
Brady Hugins: But we do have mechanisms and guardrails to help do that.
Brady Hugins: So… Okay, what data sovereignty is?
Brady Hugins: So, it's ownership, stewardship, responsibility, so it's taking into account to own something, or to take,
Brady Hugins: Responsibility for something. To respond to it.
Brady Hugins: Until… It should be stewardship.
Brady Hugins: Because a king doesn't own as much as he stewards.
Brady Hugins: Her queen doesn't own as much as she stewards. I'll probably change that.
Brady Hugins: Stewardship of access, stewardship of visibility. So… These were generated And… there's a general Web 3.0 Consensus.
Brady Hugins: about independence.
Brady Hugins: And data autonomy.
Brady Hugins: And that's what this leans into, but this is a more direct, practical process of giving you tools and the creative process to do that.
Brady Hugins: I enjoy reading and use other forms of information to develop my own code structure and development process all the time.
Brady Hugins: Understanding other tools is a part of understanding your own tools.
Brady Hugins: So…
Brady Hugins: being… having your own database, and access to your own database, and understanding securities, and credentialees, and keys, and keeping proper security protocols is a part of governing excess.
Brady Hugins: It's having…
Brady Hugins: Imagine having a tote, a moat, sorry, tote… a moat around a castle, right? You have, like, a data depository, which is all your people, like, if it were a castle.
Brady Hugins: Got all your information, and then you have, like, a big wall around it to protect it.
Brady Hugins: And then you have gates, and that's how data works, and then you have towers that can go and see out and look out, right?
Brady Hugins: And design things.
Brady Hugins: And then you have maybe little functions that are happening, like, in the… The castle walls.
Brady Hugins: There might be, you know, a bow maker over here, and there might be a blacksmith over here, and there might be a,
Brady Hugins: A bakery.
Brady Hugins: Over here.
Brady Hugins: So… There's needs… filling the needs of the people that are there.
Brady Hugins: In a varied way.
Brady Hugins: in a castle system, or when you imagine that, there's, like, one job does many. In a lot of ways, technology works the same, where you have…
Brady Hugins: A tool that can… that can have a certain function, so you have agents or these that can guard access and curation.
Brady Hugins: Also, visibility, so it's being able to see dashboarding, air, being able to view into and look at certain data, and have certain information that's confidential or private as needed and marked that way.
Brady Hugins: So, it's identifying tagging data in certain ways. Now, this could be…
Brady Hugins: in regards to, like, images that you're saving. It could be family images that you're tagging.
Brady Hugins: And keeping in a database and understanding that these are… these are your family photos over here, so they go all…
Brady Hugins: you know, for your prints for home and stuff, right? Whereas over here, this is, like, your web assets, so these are all publicly oriented web assets. So, like, all these items that I post and whatnot, they're all publicly oriented media.
Brady Hugins: Portability, portability has to do with…
Brady Hugins: being able to move from technology to technology. Like, for instance, when we have a phone.
Brady Hugins: Or we have a laptop that I'm working on, or we have a… like, I have a transcriber as well.
Brady Hugins: So I could take in my notes.
Brady Hugins: These are all the different forms that we can use. Some of them are audio modality, some of them are visual and touch modality, some of them are a type
Brady Hugins: And a word modality, and it…
Brady Hugins: It's important for us to understand the different… mediums, for those… Different items, and that…
Brady Hugins: Data may port from item to item, and it does port from item to item, but each item may interact with us differently, too.
Brady Hugins: And then recovery.
Brady Hugins: So… A lot of this has to do with…
Brady Hugins: Looking at the different aspects, so it's…
Brady Hugins: When we have insurance and risk.
Brady Hugins: When we buy auto insurance, for instance.
Brady Hugins: We don't necessarily understand that other people can bump into us on the road when we…
Brady Hugins: It could be scary, right?
Brady Hugins: When we get hit in a car.
Brady Hugins: And we have insurance in order to protect ourselves, protect the other person, protect the interaction, right? That people aren't fighting about these things, they're there to ensure the risk, that there's a proper management of risk.
Brady Hugins: As we share the roads together. They're not any one person's roads, they're all of our roads. That's…
Brady Hugins: Part of public utility.
Brady Hugins: But, in data and information, this is all private regards, so we need to have backup practices, that are multi-layered and have multiple versions.
Brady Hugins: I've personally spent 5 years working on a backup recovery franchise, and…
Brady Hugins: have… I know how important data loss is as a risk for businesses.
Brady Hugins: It's probably either a primary or the primary risk for a business. If they lose their data and data systems.
Brady Hugins: It's like, close the doors. What do we do now?
Brady Hugins: It's a rough deal for some.
Brady Hugins: Okay, let's keep moving. Plenty of slides to go through.
Brady Hugins: We've talked about visibility control, permissions…
Brady Hugins: Basically, being able to see your data, being able to control access information out and in.
Brady Hugins: And then resilience. So, where do we have for backups, recovery, continuity paths? And this is…
Brady Hugins: Things like hardening workflows, and… curation steps, and…
Brady Hugins: content atomization. Like, there's a number of different methods that are interesting ways to deploy some of these basic pillars in different ways.
Brady Hugins: Now, what's interesting is that you can deploy these methods in various ways very quickly now, too. So you can say, oh, I can try this over here, and let's try this application over there.
Brady Hugins: Practical architecture. Put vision into form.
Brady Hugins: So, when we were having you construct and sit down with your meditation, there's a number of different either people.
Brady Hugins: Or systems, or designs about the object, or art.
Brady Hugins: That you can use to design.
Brady Hugins: And these are all part of the data component. Now, the reason why I'm focusing on data is because it's the most cerebral, right? It's like the…
Brady Hugins: most all-encompanying… it's an idea that connects it all together, so it's the central component.
Brady Hugins: So I'm talking about data from a stewardship perspective, because I believe that people are going to need to consider these aspects as just a
Brady Hugins: Primary function and utility.
Brady Hugins: and we'll be doing more of this review, rather than, like, how tools and UIs work, which is a lot of…
Brady Hugins: Technical support at the moment.
Brady Hugins: So… Think about constraints, time being the major one.
Brady Hugins: When thinking about any of these projects.
Brady Hugins: And putting them in the form.
Brady Hugins: So here's some immediate actions, based on…
Brady Hugins: what one can do with your data governance. Now, these are for people with already, steps in place.
Brady Hugins: Now…
Brady Hugins: A lot of this is about empowering ideas and creative ideas, but in order for the creation to be of
Brady Hugins: significance and continued significance. It needs to have a place to live, to store, and to evolve from.
Brady Hugins: So we need to protect it.
Brady Hugins: The ideas down at their base layer, and then build from there.
Brady Hugins: So… when I'm talking about the gates and the castle.
Brady Hugins: And I'm talking about, like, all the people in it as, like, your data… and tables.
Brady Hugins: Just consider observing each of them, and then watching where they're going, so making sure that they're headed in the right direction.
Brady Hugins: And then…
Brady Hugins: The approvals are working, so the guards are all set up, and things are all managing properly, so…
Brady Hugins: People can get into places they need to, and not in the places they don't need to get into.
Brady Hugins: The castle's a safe place, so there's a lot of curation and talking about that, and credentialing is a big part of that in technical work.
Brady Hugins: Agent First System. So… In regards to this, Agent-first system design around human… Creativity.
Brady Hugins: So, the reason why… it's really human-first, but it's agent-first practical implementations.
Brady Hugins: Because what's happening is humans are defining…
Brady Hugins: the… what work's being done. So, imagine you having, like, 15 employees now, and they're all doing different things. You're saying, you do that, you do that, you do that, you do that.
Brady Hugins: But you used to do all the jobs in the past, so you know, generally speaking, how to do that.
Brady Hugins: Now…
Brady Hugins: The workflows can be done very fast. A number of my workflows are…
Brady Hugins: 2 to 3 seconds or less.
Brady Hugins: These can be PDF creators, they can be accessing to different databases, it could be checking Discord or your social media, checking to see if anyone commented on a post.
Brady Hugins: It could be posting something.
Brady Hugins: It could be… Creating a piece of content, generated, like, in a… like an image generator, right?
Brady Hugins: A number of these functions take less than a few seconds, but
Brady Hugins: Unless they have the right and correct information curated into them, the outputs aren't very good.
Brady Hugins: So, it's a question of fitting the guardrails and the curation process that's needed from humans, and human and AI-edited design, because
Brady Hugins: in the philosophy and designs that I'm putting into control, it's a partnership between A and I, AI.
Brady Hugins: So… That means we understand how each other's strong.
Brady Hugins: And put each other in their strong position.
Brady Hugins: As far as humans and machines.
Brady Hugins: Okay, so…
Brady Hugins: This can be done across brands. So, one of the case patterns that I've deployed is that when you build this for one brand, you build for many.
Brady Hugins: So, you build infrastructure for taking in email forms, for one. You build it for another one.
Brady Hugins: Very easily.
Brady Hugins: And… not only can AI build that, AI can recognize that.
Brady Hugins: And recognize when certain workflows can be cut and considered into smaller forms.
Brady Hugins: Like, for instance, there's some workflows that are too large.
Brady Hugins: You know, you need to cut them down, less steps. And when you cut them down, you might predefine some workflow that may be running 50 times, versus this second piece of that workflow may be running 15 times.
Brady Hugins: Well… That's an efficiency break, because you're running more work through the…
Brady Hugins: Efficient model, rather than running it through the secondary model, so…
Brady Hugins: You run more efficiently doing that.
Brady Hugins: So, it's like you're designing a locomotive.
Brady Hugins: on the fly, while you're able to imagine all the pieces, like, moving and pipes all going. Like, a locomotive's pretty simple, right? It's like…
Brady Hugins: You shovel coal in here, it heats up, gets the water heated up, and that heated up water turns to steam, and that's what powers everything.
Brady Hugins: That's all, like, the steam coming out of the system, right?
Brady Hugins: So that's why it's all hot. It's basically a big boiler.
Brady Hugins: That's going down the road.
Brady Hugins: And…
Brady Hugins: that's what these are, I mean, as far as, like, all the data flows function a lot the same. There's certain things that can get too hot. Like, for instance.
Brady Hugins: That's what a lot of developers are running and do long coding sessions, is they're working with these AI tools, and they're…
Brady Hugins: Overhitting their usage limits.
Brady Hugins: Spending hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars on AI hardware costs, or not hardware, AI software development costs.
Brady Hugins: So, it's a thing.
Brady Hugins: Okay, so…
Brady Hugins: for this one, we're looking at conical URLs, campaign keys, attribution drifts, so that's one thing that AI can see, is that when things drift.
Brady Hugins: having deployment logs is important, especially because AI can forget things, so it needs constant reminders.
Brady Hugins: But when it does, it's very efficient.
Brady Hugins: But it gets better over time, that's the thing about AI, is it tunes.
Brady Hugins: Okay, so here's some 30- and 90-day cleanup policies with general architecture. Now.
Brady Hugins: I'm going to update these… some of these notes with some of these tooling, local and network builders for Codex and Cloud Code. I might even change out some of these so that my voice is a little bit different than… I can update some of the… the tooling.
Brady Hugins: Right now… One should consider… work being done in three major phages, especially when doing it with AI.
Brady Hugins: And tech development. So, this is specifically tech and software development.
Brady Hugins: Use for enterprise-level… not enterprise level, but all forms of business. People that have…
Brady Hugins: those technical capacities in order to ingest information, build out a product or idea, and then put that into a software or a design process, like, that the software helps support. Because even if you're creating, like, let's say it's a beautiful art piece.
Brady Hugins: Well, you probably need a website to build the… to showcase the art piece that you're selling.
Brady Hugins: You need photography, you need video.
Brady Hugins: Where does that sit? Usually sits on your computer and whatnot. So, there's always… almost always a creative utility and a marketing utility towards forms of business. So anytime you get into work, unless you go in an…
Brady Hugins: This is the behind-the-scenes application in the sense that you don't need to use TikTok, you can post TikTok on the backend.
Brady Hugins: You don't need to go into the UI.
Brady Hugins: And so, these forms, what I'm showing you here, are codex and cloud code. These are what I call local and network builders. Codex is a local builder. It does great around scripts, automations, QA, operational runbooks.
Brady Hugins: Those things, in order to deploy to the broader… grade X.
Brady Hugins: Looking at things from a general capacity and building out from the network. So…
Brady Hugins: Workforce, and then, which is your local
Brady Hugins: local drives and inbox and data that's on your local drives. And then we look at cloud code to look at the general architecture from an outside perspective.
Brady Hugins: So, use the network builders to connect to web forms, APIs, analytics, all the communication layers, and then with that, with the guardrailing and versions and approval logs, go and automate that out to the broader ecosystem.
Brady Hugins: So, what does this mean for all of this, right? So… Why is this important?
Brady Hugins: Over the last few weeks, There's been some articles written about experiences at OpenAI and Claude and Anthropop… Anthropic.
Brady Hugins: And it's February 13th, 2026, so… that means this has been happening over the last couple weeks.
Brady Hugins: It's generally known that there… we've come to a point
Brady Hugins: Where things are getting uncanny from a development and software perspective.
Brady Hugins: And where you can speak, and things are coming into form.
Brady Hugins: Now…
Brady Hugins: that's the exercise of what I… I'm taking everyone through, is to… is to think about something, to speak, put it into form, so that when we have the tools to do that, it won't be so… it'll be…
Brady Hugins: Clear about the steps.
Brady Hugins: So, over time, individuals are going to gain more of the ability to build and operate their own systems, like a full-stack developer.
Brady Hugins: Generally easily. Now, this may be either more expensive or more challenging at the beginning, but every year it will be easier.
Brady Hugins: And it will be in broad form that children will be building up their own apps and doing things just at a very small age that…
Brady Hugins: App development and that process is going to be integrated.
Brady Hugins: Small teams, have a general
Brady Hugins: capabilities, they don't run into capabilities limits as much as large teams, so what we'll find is a compression of team sizes down to a smaller series of sizes.
Brady Hugins: The companies that are 300 people or less will do fantastic.
Brady Hugins: They'll be billionaires of one-person companies.
Brady Hugins: And then there'll be pressure on enterprise-level companies to justify They're large payroll, and… financial expenses.
Brady Hugins: Why are those needed?
Brady Hugins: Why are those creating efficiencies for this system? When capital isn't the major efficiency of it, creativity is?
Brady Hugins: And creativity is governed.
Brady Hugins: And showcased by the needs and desires of humans.
Brady Hugins: So…
Brady Hugins: Small teams will become more effective.
Brady Hugins: They'll become more… Yeah, more effective.
Brady Hugins: Governance and creativity must evolve together, that is true.
Brady Hugins: Responsibility and creativity.
Brady Hugins: You know?
Brady Hugins: With great power comes great responsibility.
Brady Hugins: as Spider-Man… Learn from… Uncle Ben.
Brady Hugins: Right? We've heard that tale.
Brady Hugins: So the power and responsibility is making better design choices.
Brady Hugins: to choose.
Brady Hugins: To actually have a choosing process.
Brady Hugins: In that creation process, to bring your ideas out into form, and to show them.
Brady Hugins: Necessary part of the process in order to…
Brady Hugins: Canar Independence.
Brady Hugins: It's important for us to… in their own way.
Brady Hugins: So, major takeaways… Before concluding…
Brady Hugins: Information is a civilizational asset. We should learn to protect it, and honor and respect it, and to have our own private libraries, and to consider private libraries as a…
Brady Hugins: And libraries as a… Good qualitative function, private and public.
Brady Hugins: Data sovereignty is practical. The tools for it are…
Brady Hugins: less and less and less expensive and more available. There is a considerable amount of investment in the hundreds of dollars range to be a real pro.
Brady Hugins: But that is a very small investment when you consider college educations.
Brady Hugins: Other sorts of courses, other sorts of professions. Even to be a plumber, you have to drive around a car and a truck and have insurance, which is hundreds of dollars a month.
Brady Hugins: Maybe not thousands, but in some cases, thousands. And certainly, some of these larger institutions that are running shared platforms with large-scale developments, they're running in thousands of dollars.
Brady Hugins: But the point is, is that the tools are becoming cheaper.
Brady Hugins: Creative tools and architecture let people build with agency, with legacy, and creativity. They're able to do more with less.
Brady Hugins: More actively and more interesting ways.
Brady Hugins: And that's one thing that's great, is that if you're building something of practical utility that you want to go and sell, or that you want to go and share.
Brady Hugins: Start small, and take the first steps that you can with your creation that you want to create.
Brady Hugins: So… With that being said, There are some concerns about fear in the general landscape.
Brady Hugins: of… AI, technology.
Brady Hugins: Have confidence that we have always been able to take a mature step forward of understanding things from a different perspective, and that's what we're called to do now.
Brady Hugins: Being creative.
Brady Hugins: And understanding these tools and this architecture is a step towards greater responsibility, is a step towards empowered stewardship.
Brady Hugins: So, because of that, the people that are interested in it are going to be having a broader effect on society.
Brady Hugins: Like myself or other people that know about these ideas, they're going to be spreading quickly, as is its nature.
Brady Hugins: So…
Brady Hugins: Happy to have you here, happy to have you creating with your strengths and loves and passions here with us.
Brady Hugins: So, we do have some webinar, questions available as we're wrapping up here at the top of the hour.
Brady Hugins: We do cap them at 10 questions. This one ran a little long, I'll be doing some revisions on this, and maybe some cut, edits on it, but…
Brady Hugins: Yeah, I'm really happy to have you all here, happy to have you part of the Mirror Mirror system. Check out our other brands if you're in Arizona. You can check out one of our events at Rose Court Events, that's connected with our ecosystem, too.
Brady Hugins: And then we have some land development, and some other…
Brady Hugins: Tools that you can use here.
Brady Hugins: We have some checklists for mirror… mirror systems.
Brady Hugins: And then also some opportunities to book a 30-minute call with me for anyone looking at doing deeper…
Brady Hugins: Data systems designed, and putting together a technical architecture for themselves.
Brady Hugins: So, happy to answer some questions.
Brady Hugins: So for more links, I'll be posting about my QD link for signing up for, individual meetings.
Brady Hugins: And then also be answering Q&A. So, I am taking… Meetings for… Systems review and like, so…
Brady Hugins: if you have a broader interest or need speed, that's something that I can bring more direct into your experiences going faster, so…
Brady Hugins: Yeah.
Brady Hugins: So, with that, I'll wrap it up. So, thank you all for being here, at Amir Mirror Systems…
Brady Hugins: webinar. This is our Introduction to Data Sovereignty with Brady Huygens. Thank you everyone… thank you everyone very much. Have a good day.
