1
00:00:11,444 --> 00:00:11,811
Hello and
2
00:00:11,811 --> 00:00:12,912
welcome to another episode
3
00:00:12,912 --> 00:00:15,048
of On the Floor with Wayne and Rob.
4
00:00:15,048 --> 00:00:16,016
I'm Wayne
5
00:00:16,016 --> 00:00:17,117
Highlander, director of sales
6
00:00:17,117 --> 00:00:20,320
for Bona Adhesives.
7
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,456
And Robert Johnson from Bona Training.
8
00:00:23,456 --> 00:00:24,424
We're going to do a little floor
9
00:00:24,424 --> 00:00:26,826
talk today, so turn him Sanders off,
10
00:00:27,727 --> 00:00:28,428
take that edge
11
00:00:28,428 --> 00:00:29,763
or make sure you put that edge around
12
00:00:29,763 --> 00:00:30,930
the side.
13
00:00:31,097 --> 00:00:32,232
Put that scraper down.
14
00:00:32,232 --> 00:00:33,533
And let's talk
15
00:00:33,533 --> 00:00:36,302
a little bit about hardwood floors.
16
00:00:36,636 --> 00:00:38,071
We've had to change our opening
17
00:00:38,071 --> 00:00:38,505
a little bit
18
00:00:38,505 --> 00:00:39,873
because our producer says
19
00:00:39,873 --> 00:00:42,042
that we've been coming in on our openings
20
00:00:42,542 --> 00:00:45,045
too hot so that.
21
00:00:45,045 --> 00:00:45,445
Yeah.
22
00:00:45,445 --> 00:00:46,112
So now
23
00:00:46,112 --> 00:00:47,881
we sound like the two women
24
00:00:47,881 --> 00:00:50,483
on the Saturday Night Live skit
25
00:00:50,483 --> 00:00:51,518
we're doing that.
26
00:00:51,518 --> 00:00:54,421
The PBS.
27
00:00:54,988 --> 00:00:55,922
What was the name of that skit?
28
00:00:55,922 --> 00:00:58,625
You remember that skit? Now.
29
00:00:58,625 --> 00:01:00,493
Did you ever watch Saturday Night Live.
30
00:01:00,493 --> 00:01:02,162
From time to time?
31
00:01:02,262 --> 00:01:05,098
Oh, man, yeah.
32
00:01:05,098 --> 00:01:06,332
They did
33
00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:09,536
the Schweddy Balls.
34
00:01:09,536 --> 00:01:11,204
You really get it?
35
00:01:11,204 --> 00:01:13,873
They seen that on on YouTube?
36
00:01:13,873 --> 00:01:15,642
Yes. The Christmas balls.
37
00:01:15,642 --> 00:01:17,410
Yeah. Yeah.
38
00:01:17,410 --> 00:01:19,112
Not sure we can do that.
39
00:01:19,112 --> 00:01:20,146
Oh, man.
40
00:01:20,146 --> 00:01:22,115
What is the name of that?
41
00:01:22,115 --> 00:01:23,283
Oh, that's how they talk.
42
00:01:23,283 --> 00:01:25,151
They came in nice and easy,
43
00:01:25,151 --> 00:01:26,653
just like that.
44
00:01:26,653 --> 00:01:28,688
Although you and I had a discussion
45
00:01:28,688 --> 00:01:29,823
about buying a new truck
46
00:01:29,823 --> 00:01:30,790
that had the seats
47
00:01:30,790 --> 00:01:31,658
with the air conditioner
48
00:01:31,658 --> 00:01:33,893
that came through the seats. Yes.
49
00:01:34,194 --> 00:01:35,328
Probably can't really talk
50
00:01:35,328 --> 00:01:36,162
too much about.
51
00:01:36,162 --> 00:01:37,097
But if you haven't
52
00:01:37,097 --> 00:01:37,797
if you have never
53
00:01:37,797 --> 00:01:40,600
experienced a new vehicle that has
54
00:01:41,701 --> 00:01:42,602
air conditioning
55
00:01:42,602 --> 00:01:46,039
flowing through the seats, that's
56
00:01:46,039 --> 00:01:48,975
one of the greatest pleasures in life.
57
00:01:49,075 --> 00:01:50,510
That's good stuff.
58
00:01:50,777 --> 00:01:51,811
Okay.
59
00:01:51,811 --> 00:01:52,212
Hey,
60
00:01:52,212 --> 00:01:55,448
this episode is going to be pretty cool.
61
00:01:56,816 --> 00:01:58,618
We did some interviews.
62
00:01:58,618 --> 00:01:59,786
Mm hmm.
63
00:01:59,786 --> 00:02:02,789
We had the big flow the big flow launch
64
00:02:02,789 --> 00:02:05,291
at the New Jersey RTC this week.
65
00:02:06,059 --> 00:02:08,928
So talk about the Who's
66
00:02:08,928 --> 00:02:10,296
Who wood flooring man.
67
00:02:10,296 --> 00:02:11,898
Everybody was there.
68
00:02:11,898 --> 00:02:14,100
Yeah, that was it was really cool.
69
00:02:14,100 --> 00:02:15,668
Really, really great day.
70
00:02:15,668 --> 00:02:16,836
And I appreciate Jeff
71
00:02:16,836 --> 00:02:18,872
Alfredo and Jean Vincent
72
00:02:18,872 --> 00:02:20,240
and Mike Overy and
73
00:02:21,741 --> 00:02:23,343
Rob Johnson.
74
00:02:23,409 --> 00:02:24,210
And that's why
75
00:02:24,210 --> 00:02:25,145
you threw my name in there.
76
00:02:25,145 --> 00:02:26,012
I appreciate. That.
77
00:02:26,012 --> 00:02:27,080
Yeah. Come coming down there.
78
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,349
Yeah, I look out for you.
79
00:02:29,349 --> 00:02:31,751
Our episode today is going to be on on
80
00:02:31,751 --> 00:02:36,556
how to handle press pressure.
81
00:02:36,556 --> 00:02:38,424
You know, this industry,
82
00:02:38,424 --> 00:02:40,293
it comes with the territory.
83
00:02:40,293 --> 00:02:43,096
And I remember watching.
84
00:02:43,129 --> 00:02:45,231
I'm not I'm not a
85
00:02:45,231 --> 00:02:46,399
I'm not a golf guy at all.
86
00:02:46,399 --> 00:02:48,835
And I know you're not a golf, Barry Golf.
87
00:02:49,402 --> 00:02:51,738
Yeah, I do golf game.
88
00:02:51,738 --> 00:02:52,172
You remember
89
00:02:52,172 --> 00:02:52,772
Greg Norman
90
00:02:52,772 --> 00:02:54,807
when he had the most epic net
91
00:02:54,807 --> 00:02:56,075
meltdown of all time?
92
00:02:56,075 --> 00:02:57,777
Yeah, I think that was.
93
00:02:57,777 --> 00:02:59,779
I think that was 98.
94
00:03:00,346 --> 00:03:03,049
97, 96,
95
00:03:03,049 --> 00:03:05,251
96, 96.
96
00:03:05,552 --> 00:03:06,152
Yeah.
97
00:03:06,152 --> 00:03:07,954
What he absolutely had,
98
00:03:07,954 --> 00:03:09,522
I think what a five stroke lead
99
00:03:09,522 --> 00:03:11,090
going into it
100
00:03:11,391 --> 00:03:13,526
or maybe even more and then lost.
101
00:03:13,526 --> 00:03:15,161
I thought it was like eight.
102
00:03:15,161 --> 00:03:16,796
I mean, it was unbelievable.
103
00:03:16,796 --> 00:03:17,497
Everybody said
104
00:03:18,631 --> 00:03:19,232
going into
105
00:03:19,232 --> 00:03:19,966
the final day, I
106
00:03:19,966 --> 00:03:21,568
thought he had like a six or eight.
107
00:03:21,568 --> 00:03:22,602
I mean, it was
108
00:03:22,602 --> 00:03:23,770
I think it was more than five.
109
00:03:23,770 --> 00:03:27,574
I think he had he he actually had a six
110
00:03:27,574 --> 00:03:28,641
shot lead in his last
111
00:03:28,641 --> 00:03:30,777
lost by five strokes.
112
00:03:30,777 --> 00:03:32,478
And they say it's
113
00:03:32,478 --> 00:03:34,047
one of the biggest jokes of all time.
114
00:03:34,047 --> 00:03:37,817
And here's how bad it was
115
00:03:37,917 --> 00:03:39,819
when he when he finally lost his opponent
116
00:03:39,819 --> 00:03:43,022
was crying and apologized for winning.
117
00:03:43,022 --> 00:03:45,692
And when the presenter handed the trophy
118
00:03:45,692 --> 00:03:46,159
to the winner,
119
00:03:46,159 --> 00:03:46,893
he apologized
120
00:03:46,893 --> 00:03:49,162
and said he felt terrible for Norman
121
00:03:49,162 --> 00:03:51,331
and it's gone down
122
00:03:51,331 --> 00:03:52,732
is probably one of the biggest jokes
123
00:03:52,732 --> 00:03:53,800
of all time.
124
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,704
And you can take we talk about joking.
125
00:03:57,704 --> 00:03:59,405
You're talking about pressure
126
00:03:59,405 --> 00:04:01,140
and learning to deal with pressure,
127
00:04:01,140 --> 00:04:02,175
especially in our industry.
128
00:04:02,175 --> 00:04:03,276
And as you said, Rob,
129
00:04:03,276 --> 00:04:04,310
we had some great interviews.
130
00:04:04,310 --> 00:04:05,845
Later on, we're going to play
131
00:04:05,845 --> 00:04:07,146
and I thought it was interesting
132
00:04:07,146 --> 00:04:08,147
what some of the older guys
133
00:04:08,147 --> 00:04:08,982
have been around a while,
134
00:04:08,982 --> 00:04:10,883
how they how they handle pressure today
135
00:04:10,883 --> 00:04:11,618
versus how they
136
00:04:11,618 --> 00:04:15,288
handle pressure years ago.
137
00:04:15,288 --> 00:04:16,322
But there's a
138
00:04:18,124 --> 00:04:19,225
you know,
139
00:04:19,225 --> 00:04:21,261
it's something that we've we've always
140
00:04:21,361 --> 00:04:23,529
how you handle pressure very well though
141
00:04:23,763 --> 00:04:24,330
probably better
142
00:04:24,330 --> 00:04:26,699
than anybody I've ever met. Actually.
143
00:04:26,699 --> 00:04:29,869
I feel no pressure ever.
144
00:04:29,902 --> 00:04:32,071
I let everybody else worry about that.
145
00:04:32,071 --> 00:04:34,641
Yeah, that's.
146
00:04:35,041 --> 00:04:37,610
I. I think
147
00:04:37,610 --> 00:04:38,044
you and I
148
00:04:38,044 --> 00:04:39,112
probably could have worked together
149
00:04:39,112 --> 00:04:40,246
pretty good
150
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:41,848
because you can't have two
151
00:04:41,848 --> 00:04:43,950
guys on the job
152
00:04:44,050 --> 00:04:46,152
who are crazy with pressure.
153
00:04:46,152 --> 00:04:48,154
You can't have two guys that are hot,
154
00:04:48,154 --> 00:04:48,821
right?
155
00:04:48,821 --> 00:04:49,589
Yeah. Yeah.
156
00:04:49,589 --> 00:04:50,957
Well, I'm got to be one of those.
157
00:04:50,957 --> 00:04:52,392
Got to be the ground.
158
00:04:52,392 --> 00:04:53,159
Yeah, you.
159
00:04:53,159 --> 00:04:54,961
Now, the other thing, though.
160
00:04:54,961 --> 00:04:55,795
Pete and I
161
00:04:55,795 --> 00:04:56,763
are a lot of like
162
00:04:56,763 --> 00:04:58,164
as far as pressure goes.
163
00:04:58,164 --> 00:04:59,132
So
164
00:05:00,900 --> 00:05:03,403
I don't know,
165
00:05:03,403 --> 00:05:05,138
I don't think we really ever had
166
00:05:05,138 --> 00:05:06,472
any because,
167
00:05:06,472 --> 00:05:08,908
I mean, you think I'm calm and cool.
168
00:05:08,908 --> 00:05:11,711
Sherman's even, you know, he takes it
169
00:05:11,711 --> 00:05:14,881
to a different level.
170
00:05:14,881 --> 00:05:16,716
But working with
171
00:05:16,716 --> 00:05:19,686
you, working with my son now,
172
00:05:20,653 --> 00:05:21,821
I think you two are like
173
00:05:21,821 --> 00:05:26,592
pressure cookers.
174
00:05:26,592 --> 00:05:28,361
Probably I will.
175
00:05:28,361 --> 00:05:29,262
I'll tell you how I deal
176
00:05:29,262 --> 00:05:30,296
with pressure when, like,
177
00:05:30,296 --> 00:05:32,131
things get really, really
178
00:05:32,131 --> 00:05:34,300
the pressure gets gets ramped up.
179
00:05:34,300 --> 00:05:38,271
I'll tell you how I deal with it.
180
00:05:38,271 --> 00:05:40,106
And for me, is is I
181
00:05:40,106 --> 00:05:41,874
you got to live in the moment.
182
00:05:41,874 --> 00:05:44,610
If you start thinking on a on a job
183
00:05:44,610 --> 00:05:46,979
of all the things that can go wrong,
184
00:05:46,979 --> 00:05:47,880
you know, all the negative
185
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:49,182
what ifs, if,
186
00:05:49,182 --> 00:05:50,983
you know, if this doesn't go right
187
00:05:50,983 --> 00:05:52,051
or if it doesn't get paid
188
00:05:52,051 --> 00:05:53,586
or she doesn't like the color,
189
00:05:53,586 --> 00:05:55,388
we can't meet the schedule or whatever.
190
00:05:55,388 --> 00:05:56,522
If you start letting those things
191
00:05:56,522 --> 00:05:59,592
get in your head, then
192
00:05:59,592 --> 00:06:01,894
it just makes your life miserable.
193
00:06:01,894 --> 00:06:03,996
And I had a mantra for me,
194
00:06:03,996 --> 00:06:06,599
which was one room at a time,
195
00:06:06,599 --> 00:06:08,201
and it really worked for me.
196
00:06:08,201 --> 00:06:08,701
It really helped
197
00:06:08,701 --> 00:06:09,635
take the pressure off
198
00:06:09,635 --> 00:06:11,437
because as if I'm on a 4000
199
00:06:11,437 --> 00:06:12,605
square foot job or whatever,
200
00:06:13,906 --> 00:06:14,574
that's a problem.
201
00:06:14,574 --> 00:06:16,509
If the whole job is one room, 4000
202
00:06:16,509 --> 00:06:17,510
square feet.
203
00:06:17,677 --> 00:06:19,612
But if it was broken up,
204
00:06:19,612 --> 00:06:20,613
like if I'm today, I'm
205
00:06:20,613 --> 00:06:21,948
working in the living room right
206
00:06:21,948 --> 00:06:23,249
now, today, right
207
00:06:23,249 --> 00:06:24,550
now, this moment to work the living room.
208
00:06:24,550 --> 00:06:25,752
Then that's all I care about
209
00:06:25,752 --> 00:06:26,452
is that living room.
210
00:06:26,452 --> 00:06:27,653
I don't care about nothing else.
211
00:06:27,653 --> 00:06:29,822
I just focus on one thing
212
00:06:29,822 --> 00:06:32,492
and that's helped me with that mantra
213
00:06:32,492 --> 00:06:35,495
of one room at a time is helped me
214
00:06:35,495 --> 00:06:36,129
and then
215
00:06:36,129 --> 00:06:36,996
stay in the moment
216
00:06:36,996 --> 00:06:40,199
and not getting into the whatever type
217
00:06:40,199 --> 00:06:42,034
of conversations in your head,
218
00:06:42,034 --> 00:06:43,803
staying in the present
219
00:06:44,237 --> 00:06:44,670
and not worried
220
00:06:44,670 --> 00:06:45,972
about the ultimate success
221
00:06:45,972 --> 00:06:48,307
or failure of the job.
222
00:06:48,474 --> 00:06:49,308
So
223
00:06:50,476 --> 00:06:52,512
now I thought you handled pressure
224
00:06:52,512 --> 00:06:54,747
a different way,
225
00:06:54,747 --> 00:06:55,047
you know,
226
00:06:55,047 --> 00:06:57,183
like opening up door, throwing tea bars
227
00:06:57,183 --> 00:06:58,584
across the floor.
228
00:06:58,584 --> 00:06:59,585
That to. Throw.
229
00:06:59,585 --> 00:07:01,287
Didn't you throw something in the water
230
00:07:01,287 --> 00:07:02,889
one time or something?
231
00:07:02,889 --> 00:07:05,525
But I do that in the moment,
232
00:07:05,525 --> 00:07:06,559
you know what I mean?
233
00:07:06,559 --> 00:07:09,262
I that's the that's in the moment thing.
234
00:07:09,529 --> 00:07:10,963
That's the release.
235
00:07:10,963 --> 00:07:11,431
Yes.
236
00:07:11,431 --> 00:07:11,731
That's
237
00:07:11,731 --> 00:07:13,766
that's the release of the pressure.
238
00:07:13,766 --> 00:07:15,735
Yes. You've dealt with it.
239
00:07:15,735 --> 00:07:17,770
So you get hold on to it. And then
240
00:07:19,138 --> 00:07:20,339
what it.
241
00:07:20,339 --> 00:07:21,541
What I like to do is
242
00:07:21,541 --> 00:07:23,509
spread the pressure throughout everybody
243
00:07:23,509 --> 00:07:26,012
so they all feel the pressure.
244
00:07:26,012 --> 00:07:26,546
Yeah.
245
00:07:27,013 --> 00:07:31,250
Yeah, I you.
246
00:07:31,584 --> 00:07:33,753
Why should you just be choking on that.
247
00:07:34,020 --> 00:07:34,720
I cause.
248
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:35,855
Everybody else.
249
00:07:35,855 --> 00:07:37,723
Yes, I call it a sense of urgency.
250
00:07:37,723 --> 00:07:39,926
So changes the you know what I mean?
251
00:07:39,926 --> 00:07:41,160
It changes the whole.
252
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:42,462
It's not pressure, guys.
253
00:07:42,462 --> 00:07:43,129
A sense of urgency.
254
00:07:43,129 --> 00:07:45,832
You need feel the sense of urgency.
255
00:07:46,165 --> 00:07:47,900
Right.
256
00:07:47,900 --> 00:07:49,402
But but you know something?
257
00:07:49,402 --> 00:07:50,570
I'm joking around about that
258
00:07:50,570 --> 00:07:50,970
a little bit.
259
00:07:50,970 --> 00:07:53,673
But I'll tell you something that
260
00:07:54,540 --> 00:07:56,209
there's a little trick you can do.
261
00:07:56,209 --> 00:07:57,810
And for instance,
262
00:07:57,810 --> 00:07:58,444
when when
263
00:07:58,444 --> 00:08:00,680
by just changing a single word around,
264
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:01,080
you know,
265
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:02,582
instead of saying, like, I'm nervous
266
00:08:02,582 --> 00:08:04,917
about this, for instance,
267
00:08:05,351 --> 00:08:06,786
when I used to do public speaking, well,
268
00:08:06,786 --> 00:08:07,753
I still do public speaking.
269
00:08:07,753 --> 00:08:09,255
But in the early days,
270
00:08:09,255 --> 00:08:10,690
when I get nervous about it,
271
00:08:10,690 --> 00:08:12,024
I learn if you change the word
272
00:08:12,024 --> 00:08:13,926
nervous, too excited,
273
00:08:13,926 --> 00:08:16,462
it just does something in your head
274
00:08:16,596 --> 00:08:18,965
that makes it a whole different vibe.
275
00:08:18,965 --> 00:08:20,132
You're not nervous,
276
00:08:20,132 --> 00:08:21,667
you're excited about it.
277
00:08:21,667 --> 00:08:23,236
Like I don't like the word to use.
278
00:08:23,236 --> 00:08:25,171
I don't like the word problem.
279
00:08:25,171 --> 00:08:27,874
Like this is this is a big problem
280
00:08:27,874 --> 00:08:30,209
if you change that for a challenge.
281
00:08:30,209 --> 00:08:31,410
I've done that
282
00:08:31,410 --> 00:08:33,513
for probably last 15 years of my life.
283
00:08:33,513 --> 00:08:35,281
Just just change some words around.
284
00:08:35,281 --> 00:08:36,782
It's a different mindset.
285
00:08:36,782 --> 00:08:38,518
And it absolutely does help.
286
00:08:38,518 --> 00:08:39,719
I think it does help.
287
00:08:39,719 --> 00:08:41,521
I don't use the word problem anymore.
288
00:08:41,521 --> 00:08:44,223
I use the word issue.
289
00:08:44,223 --> 00:08:46,292
Yeah, yeah. Issue issue.
290
00:08:46,292 --> 00:08:48,160
Just sounds better to me. Yeah.
291
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:49,095
So your problem.
292
00:08:49,095 --> 00:08:50,763
Problem is sounds pretty negative.
293
00:08:50,763 --> 00:08:51,664
Issues are issues
294
00:08:51,664 --> 00:08:52,565
and you're always going to deal
295
00:08:52,565 --> 00:08:53,533
with issues.
296
00:08:53,533 --> 00:08:55,501
Problem problems isn't problem
297
00:08:55,501 --> 00:08:56,302
sounds negative
298
00:08:56,302 --> 00:08:58,437
and challenges can be overcome.
299
00:08:59,238 --> 00:09:02,275
Yeah, like that's like the tea bar.
300
00:09:02,275 --> 00:09:04,710
I broke it over my easily breaking tea.
301
00:09:04,710 --> 00:09:06,379
Borrow here over your knee
302
00:09:06,379 --> 00:09:07,113
if you put it off.
303
00:09:07,113 --> 00:09:08,514
Like to see a break, a big foot
304
00:09:08,514 --> 00:09:10,950
over your knee. That would be.
305
00:09:10,950 --> 00:09:12,985
Yeah that's impressive. That's not.
306
00:09:12,985 --> 00:09:13,319
I don't know.
307
00:09:13,319 --> 00:09:15,488
I've got a titanium knee now. I think so.
308
00:09:15,721 --> 00:09:19,825
Oh, I got a chance.
309
00:09:19,825 --> 00:09:21,928
Oh, it was funny.
310
00:09:21,928 --> 00:09:23,095
It's funny. We're doing that.
311
00:09:24,196 --> 00:09:25,598
The next two issues.
312
00:09:25,598 --> 00:09:27,366
The next two issues are doing
313
00:09:27,366 --> 00:09:28,601
the next two shows are doing
314
00:09:28,601 --> 00:09:29,735
one is on pressure
315
00:09:29,735 --> 00:09:31,737
and the other one is on vacations.
316
00:09:31,737 --> 00:09:32,471
And this story
317
00:09:32,471 --> 00:09:33,940
has a little of both of it.
318
00:09:33,940 --> 00:09:37,310
So I was on vacation last week and Bond
319
00:09:37,310 --> 00:09:40,146
found out, oh, oh, you were on vacation.
320
00:09:40,146 --> 00:09:42,481
And he goes, Man, I got he goes, just
321
00:09:42,615 --> 00:09:45,251
I need help. Is that first cup? Okay.
322
00:09:45,351 --> 00:09:48,387
The beauty barn is a huge was like
323
00:09:48,654 --> 00:09:51,157
1600 foot
324
00:09:51,490 --> 00:09:53,092
tons of rooms.
325
00:09:53,092 --> 00:09:53,826
It was one of those
326
00:09:53,826 --> 00:09:54,961
it was at four bedrooms,
327
00:09:54,961 --> 00:09:56,896
but every bedroom had a little hallway
328
00:09:56,896 --> 00:09:57,496
to it all.
329
00:09:57,496 --> 00:09:59,732
So you know, so
330
00:09:59,732 --> 00:10:00,600
and then was a big,
331
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,168
great room and kitchen.
332
00:10:02,168 --> 00:10:03,235
Everybody knows that.
333
00:10:03,235 --> 00:10:04,136
I'm not telling him
334
00:10:04,136 --> 00:10:06,806
anything that anybody doesn't know.
335
00:10:07,139 --> 00:10:08,975
But we've been in drought conditions
336
00:10:08,975 --> 00:10:10,242
around here.
337
00:10:10,476 --> 00:10:12,812
You know, we have not had a lot of rain.
338
00:10:12,812 --> 00:10:14,847
And this is supposed to be the
339
00:10:14,847 --> 00:10:15,815
the wet season.
340
00:10:15,815 --> 00:10:16,983
You know, this is one
341
00:10:16,983 --> 00:10:18,684
coating supposed to get a little easier.
342
00:10:18,684 --> 00:10:20,853
You know, floors have been dry all winter
343
00:10:20,853 --> 00:10:21,654
anyways.
344
00:10:23,222 --> 00:10:25,458
I was feeling some pressure
345
00:10:25,458 --> 00:10:26,759
and I was definitely feeling
346
00:10:26,759 --> 00:10:30,096
pressure that that sealer was setting up.
347
00:10:30,096 --> 00:10:33,633
I mean, there was not a lot of
348
00:10:34,567 --> 00:10:35,468
a lot of time.
349
00:10:35,468 --> 00:10:36,135
And, you know,
350
00:10:36,135 --> 00:10:38,337
we've all we've all had those jobs
351
00:10:38,904 --> 00:10:41,374
where, man, this is just
352
00:10:41,374 --> 00:10:44,543
so one of the ways that we started
353
00:10:44,543 --> 00:10:48,347
dealing with the pressure was really set
354
00:10:48,347 --> 00:10:50,883
men on preparation
355
00:10:51,550 --> 00:10:54,286
and what was our next step?
356
00:10:54,286 --> 00:10:55,321
What was the next step?
357
00:10:55,321 --> 00:10:57,423
Having that all planned out
358
00:10:58,024 --> 00:11:00,993
and a lot of the planning took away
359
00:11:01,494 --> 00:11:03,663
from what could have been, you know,
360
00:11:04,030 --> 00:11:07,133
a real bed pressure cooker.
361
00:11:07,133 --> 00:11:08,834
People can always tell to
362
00:11:08,834 --> 00:11:10,403
when I get I'm starting
363
00:11:10,403 --> 00:11:12,405
to feel some pressure.
364
00:11:12,405 --> 00:11:14,540
As I go silent,
365
00:11:15,274 --> 00:11:17,043
I go in silent mode where people like
366
00:11:17,043 --> 00:11:19,111
you talk, yep, yep, yep,
367
00:11:20,012 --> 00:11:22,748
don't want to talk because the
368
00:11:22,748 --> 00:11:24,417
so that is one of the ways
369
00:11:24,417 --> 00:11:25,785
that I will deal with pressure
370
00:11:25,785 --> 00:11:27,420
rather than talking. It out. Just
371
00:11:29,288 --> 00:11:31,857
I go stone silent.
372
00:11:31,857 --> 00:11:33,426
Mm hmm.
373
00:11:33,426 --> 00:11:34,527
The job came out.
374
00:11:34,527 --> 00:11:36,495
Job came out awesome.
375
00:11:36,495 --> 00:11:36,762
Nice.
376
00:11:36,762 --> 00:11:38,931
But, I mean, it was one of those likes
377
00:11:38,931 --> 00:11:41,400
where there is some built in desks and
378
00:11:42,001 --> 00:11:43,035
lots of toe kicks
379
00:11:43,035 --> 00:11:44,470
and little pantries and everything.
380
00:11:44,470 --> 00:11:45,738
And we did more pre
381
00:11:45,738 --> 00:11:48,641
coding of different sections.
382
00:11:48,641 --> 00:11:50,342
You know, it was actually
383
00:11:50,342 --> 00:11:51,977
we started laughing about it like,
384
00:11:51,977 --> 00:11:52,678
oh my God,
385
00:11:52,678 --> 00:11:53,145
I know
386
00:11:53,145 --> 00:11:54,080
this is crazy,
387
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,782
but it all turned out really good.
388
00:11:56,782 --> 00:11:59,552
Beautiful.
389
00:11:59,552 --> 00:12:00,119
You know, as
390
00:12:00,119 --> 00:12:00,820
you said something
391
00:12:00,820 --> 00:12:01,554
there, that to me
392
00:12:01,554 --> 00:12:04,356
is how I also deal with stress is that I,
393
00:12:04,590 --> 00:12:07,393
I find that I overprepare
394
00:12:07,393 --> 00:12:08,794
because I don't want to have to deal
395
00:12:08,794 --> 00:12:09,195
with stress.
396
00:12:09,195 --> 00:12:10,262
I'd rather overprepare
397
00:12:10,262 --> 00:12:11,831
and put the work in ahead of time
398
00:12:11,831 --> 00:12:13,766
and deal with the stress,
399
00:12:13,766 --> 00:12:15,134
you know, during the during the job
400
00:12:15,134 --> 00:12:15,968
or whatever I'm doing.
401
00:12:17,770 --> 00:12:19,004
And also, you
402
00:12:19,004 --> 00:12:20,773
kind of know what triggers you.
403
00:12:20,773 --> 00:12:21,841
You know what I mean?
404
00:12:21,841 --> 00:12:23,042
Like I,
405
00:12:23,042 --> 00:12:24,043
I hated doing stain
406
00:12:24,043 --> 00:12:25,177
samples towards the end.
407
00:12:25,177 --> 00:12:26,378
I've talked about that before.
408
00:12:26,378 --> 00:12:28,447
I didn't have the patience for it because
409
00:12:30,049 --> 00:12:31,917
that's not a technical thing.
410
00:12:31,917 --> 00:12:34,019
That's a that's a personality thing.
411
00:12:34,019 --> 00:12:35,387
That's that's,
412
00:12:35,788 --> 00:12:37,590
you know, that's subjective.
413
00:12:37,590 --> 00:12:40,626
So, yeah, my, my brothers would do that
414
00:12:40,626 --> 00:12:41,160
instead of me
415
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:42,461
because I don't have time for
416
00:12:42,461 --> 00:12:44,163
for nonsense,
417
00:12:44,463 --> 00:12:46,031
you know, pick a color. Let's go.
418
00:12:46,031 --> 00:12:48,167
So I wasn't the guy to do that.
419
00:12:48,167 --> 00:12:49,969
But so
420
00:12:50,202 --> 00:12:52,238
finding what triggers you, I think, is,
421
00:12:52,705 --> 00:12:54,039
you know, knowing that ahead of time,
422
00:12:54,039 --> 00:12:55,374
I think helps.
423
00:12:55,374 --> 00:12:58,277
And and also, you know what?
424
00:12:58,277 --> 00:13:02,615
Embrace the stress.
425
00:13:02,615 --> 00:13:03,616
I've said it before,
426
00:13:03,616 --> 00:13:05,484
pressure is a privilege.
427
00:13:05,484 --> 00:13:08,354
And and I really do believe that,
428
00:13:08,354 --> 00:13:09,021
you know what I mean?
429
00:13:09,021 --> 00:13:11,891
And so there's somehow in your life,
430
00:13:12,291 --> 00:13:14,627
you've got to figure out how to deal with
431
00:13:14,627 --> 00:13:16,796
how to deal with this in a positive way.
432
00:13:17,296 --> 00:13:20,766
No, I've got friends, you see,
433
00:13:20,766 --> 00:13:21,667
and here's the thing
434
00:13:21,667 --> 00:13:22,968
that when I you see a man
435
00:13:22,968 --> 00:13:23,903
is 70 years old
436
00:13:23,903 --> 00:13:24,970
and 75 years old who's
437
00:13:24,970 --> 00:13:26,872
yelling and screaming at everybody.
438
00:13:26,872 --> 00:13:29,275
That's an idiot, because you've gone
439
00:13:29,275 --> 00:13:30,876
through your entire life
440
00:13:30,876 --> 00:13:32,344
and you haven't figured it out.
441
00:13:32,344 --> 00:13:33,612
Know what I mean?
442
00:13:33,646 --> 00:13:35,147
As I've gotten older, I don't get
443
00:13:35,147 --> 00:13:36,682
I don't express my opinion
444
00:13:36,682 --> 00:13:39,318
hardly any in any more to anybody
445
00:13:40,820 --> 00:13:41,020
else.
446
00:13:41,020 --> 00:13:43,088
You're a director. Outside of work.
447
00:13:43,589 --> 00:13:45,124
You're outside of work
448
00:13:45,124 --> 00:13:47,226
because I don't people
449
00:13:47,226 --> 00:13:49,028
cares what I think, you know what I mean?
450
00:13:49,028 --> 00:13:49,762
It doesn't matter.
451
00:13:49,762 --> 00:13:51,030
I don't have to
452
00:13:51,530 --> 00:13:52,498
give people my opinion
453
00:13:52,498 --> 00:13:54,600
or I know who cares.
454
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:55,167
And I don't need
455
00:13:55,167 --> 00:13:57,937
to get an argument of of of the of the
456
00:13:59,338 --> 00:14:01,507
of the lowest form of argument or
457
00:14:01,507 --> 00:14:04,143
discussion is which is is opinion.
458
00:14:04,510 --> 00:14:05,611
You know what I mean?
459
00:14:06,345 --> 00:14:07,246
It doesn't matter.
460
00:14:07,246 --> 00:14:08,280
It's your opinion.
461
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:09,615
It's my opinion.
462
00:14:09,615 --> 00:14:10,749
I don't
463
00:14:10,749 --> 00:14:12,651
I don't need to argue about that or even,
464
00:14:12,651 --> 00:14:14,820
you know, I don't care anymore.
465
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:16,155
So that's kind of the
466
00:14:16,155 --> 00:14:17,389
what as you get
467
00:14:17,389 --> 00:14:18,490
older and we talk to
468
00:14:18,490 --> 00:14:19,625
some of these really great floor
469
00:14:19,625 --> 00:14:21,093
men today
470
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:22,761
that we're going to have on the podcast
471
00:14:22,761 --> 00:14:23,896
we're going to play later today.
472
00:14:25,297 --> 00:14:25,831
Seems like
473
00:14:25,831 --> 00:14:26,298
they were kind
474
00:14:26,298 --> 00:14:27,666
of in the same vein
475
00:14:27,666 --> 00:14:28,500
as they've gotten older,
476
00:14:28,500 --> 00:14:30,102
they've gotten smarter about it.
477
00:14:30,102 --> 00:14:32,271
And so if you're younger and
478
00:14:32,905 --> 00:14:34,006
and doing flaws
479
00:14:34,006 --> 00:14:35,808
and the stress of the schedule
480
00:14:35,808 --> 00:14:36,942
and all these different things
481
00:14:36,942 --> 00:14:38,310
and every every job is
482
00:14:38,310 --> 00:14:40,212
and believe me, I felt the same way.
483
00:14:40,212 --> 00:14:40,880
I mean,
484
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,550
people say, well, it's not it's not
485
00:14:44,550 --> 00:14:47,620
heart surgery, but it felt like it.
486
00:14:47,620 --> 00:14:48,454
You know what I mean?
487
00:14:48,454 --> 00:14:49,388
It felt like it to me.
488
00:14:49,388 --> 00:14:50,756
And sometimes I'd rather be.
489
00:14:50,756 --> 00:14:52,625
Yeah, yeah. Finish is dry and quick.
490
00:14:52,625 --> 00:14:54,660
I wish I was operating on somebody.
491
00:14:54,660 --> 00:14:55,160
Yeah, he's
492
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:56,762
just going to die if it doesn't work.
493
00:14:56,762 --> 00:14:58,764
Yeah, but this is my floor.
494
00:14:58,764 --> 00:15:01,367
This is the floor. So.
495
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:03,202
But I think you,
496
00:15:03,202 --> 00:15:04,536
for your own health sake,
497
00:15:04,536 --> 00:15:07,973
a figure for your healthy way to, to, to,
498
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,175
to learn to deal with this.
499
00:15:10,175 --> 00:15:11,143
It's a coping skill,
500
00:15:11,143 --> 00:15:13,145
just like anything else is a skill.
501
00:15:13,145 --> 00:15:15,114
If you don't invest time into it
502
00:15:15,114 --> 00:15:16,282
or just kind of understand
503
00:15:16,282 --> 00:15:18,651
why you do things a certain way,
504
00:15:18,651 --> 00:15:19,385
it's good for you
505
00:15:19,385 --> 00:15:20,853
is good for your family, is good for
506
00:15:20,853 --> 00:15:21,720
your coworkers.
507
00:15:23,155 --> 00:15:25,391
Also, if you're a perfectionist
508
00:15:25,391 --> 00:15:26,859
and the problem is in this trade,
509
00:15:26,859 --> 00:15:27,393
Rob, is
510
00:15:27,393 --> 00:15:29,361
you almost have to be a perfectionist
511
00:15:29,361 --> 00:15:30,863
in this trade
512
00:15:31,397 --> 00:15:34,166
and it sets you up for
513
00:15:34,166 --> 00:15:35,301
pressure and stress.
514
00:15:35,301 --> 00:15:35,701
You know,
515
00:15:35,701 --> 00:15:36,936
you have to realize that
516
00:15:36,936 --> 00:15:38,270
every job is not going to be perfect.
517
00:15:38,270 --> 00:15:39,138
You have to accept
518
00:15:39,138 --> 00:15:41,307
some amount of mistakes
519
00:15:41,307 --> 00:15:43,208
and let some things go.
520
00:15:43,208 --> 00:15:44,810
And that is hard to do.
521
00:15:44,810 --> 00:15:46,612
So I think there's a.
522
00:15:46,612 --> 00:15:48,314
You know what I say in my classes,
523
00:15:48,314 --> 00:15:51,483
everybody knows not the rising boat thing
524
00:15:53,585 --> 00:15:55,921
chasing perfection.
525
00:15:55,921 --> 00:15:58,157
We will catch excellence.
526
00:15:58,157 --> 00:16:00,626
Yep, yep.
527
00:16:00,926 --> 00:16:03,062
And I'll tell you, working with my kid
528
00:16:03,062 --> 00:16:04,563
has definitely up my game
529
00:16:04,563 --> 00:16:05,197
because I'm like,
530
00:16:05,197 --> 00:16:07,533
Oh, he's not going to like this.
531
00:16:07,866 --> 00:16:09,168
He's a perfectionist
532
00:16:09,168 --> 00:16:11,337
that I don't know where it came from,
533
00:16:11,337 --> 00:16:15,307
but he is a perfection is so,
534
00:16:15,307 --> 00:16:17,142
you know, that job I was talking about
535
00:16:17,142 --> 00:16:18,310
or I was working with him
536
00:16:18,310 --> 00:16:19,178
and I said, Oh,
537
00:16:19,178 --> 00:16:21,380
my way of dealing with stress
538
00:16:21,380 --> 00:16:22,948
is I go silent.
539
00:16:22,948 --> 00:16:23,649
Mm hmm.
540
00:16:24,016 --> 00:16:25,050
Mm hmm.
541
00:16:25,050 --> 00:16:26,852
That's not how we started out
542
00:16:26,852 --> 00:16:27,720
the job, though,
543
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,655
especially as it started to get tougher.
544
00:16:30,789 --> 00:16:31,123
We had
545
00:16:31,123 --> 00:16:31,724
stopped before
546
00:16:31,724 --> 00:16:32,191
we started
547
00:16:32,191 --> 00:16:34,560
the really the big main areas
548
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:35,127
and everything.
549
00:16:35,127 --> 00:16:36,729
And there was a lot of communication
550
00:16:36,729 --> 00:16:39,031
between us, like I said,
551
00:16:39,031 --> 00:16:39,665
all right, here
552
00:16:39,665 --> 00:16:41,367
are the seven different areas
553
00:16:41,367 --> 00:16:43,702
we're going to do before.
554
00:16:43,702 --> 00:16:45,437
And he noodled it and he looked at me.
555
00:16:45,437 --> 00:16:47,072
He goes, Yeah, that's a good idea.
556
00:16:47,072 --> 00:16:47,406
Well,
557
00:16:47,940 --> 00:16:49,274
so there was
558
00:16:49,274 --> 00:16:51,310
it wasn't like I just didn't do anything.
559
00:16:51,310 --> 00:16:52,511
But he
560
00:16:52,711 --> 00:16:54,513
there was a lot of communication and
561
00:16:54,513 --> 00:16:55,748
and then once we got going,
562
00:16:55,748 --> 00:16:58,150
that's when I got silent.
563
00:16:58,150 --> 00:16:59,351
Yeah, it was kind of fun
564
00:16:59,351 --> 00:17:00,386
because I was pushing
565
00:17:00,386 --> 00:17:01,553
the hell out of him, you know,
566
00:17:01,553 --> 00:17:04,089
because he being the perfectionist,
567
00:17:04,089 --> 00:17:05,624
he kept one
568
00:17:05,624 --> 00:17:07,026
look, you know, like after that
569
00:17:07,026 --> 00:17:08,794
I go, no, let's go,
570
00:17:08,794 --> 00:17:10,863
go, go, get pushing him.
571
00:17:10,863 --> 00:17:13,599
So it was pretty funny to see
572
00:17:14,933 --> 00:17:15,434
because like I
573
00:17:15,434 --> 00:17:16,035
said, he's a
574
00:17:16,035 --> 00:17:17,369
perfectionist and I'm like,
575
00:17:17,369 --> 00:17:19,271
we don't have time to make this perfect.
576
00:17:19,271 --> 00:17:21,440
It's we just got to get it down.
577
00:17:21,540 --> 00:17:23,609
Trust the process.
578
00:17:23,609 --> 00:17:24,176
So another one
579
00:17:24,176 --> 00:17:26,111
we talk about in the school,
580
00:17:26,111 --> 00:17:27,880
but there was a lot of pre
581
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:29,915
communication once we got going.
582
00:17:29,948 --> 00:17:30,783
Now
583
00:17:31,483 --> 00:17:33,519
I just settled into it.
584
00:17:33,519 --> 00:17:34,720
You know, you said something
585
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,857
a podcast a long time ago that this, this
586
00:17:39,491 --> 00:17:40,592
this this.
587
00:17:40,592 --> 00:17:42,261
I'm going to air quotes friend
588
00:17:42,261 --> 00:17:45,264
Peter allegedly that we think exists.
589
00:17:45,964 --> 00:17:48,200
He's going to beat your man.
590
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:48,867
Yeah.
591
00:17:48,967 --> 00:17:49,868
He doesn't like the way
592
00:17:49,868 --> 00:17:51,336
you treat me on these shows.
593
00:17:51,336 --> 00:17:52,905
Okay.
594
00:17:52,905 --> 00:17:53,872
You said he was like
595
00:17:53,872 --> 00:17:55,240
the king of vacuuming
596
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,676
and that you just let him do it.
597
00:17:57,676 --> 00:17:59,411
I think delegating to like
598
00:17:59,411 --> 00:18:00,212
like my brother
599
00:18:00,212 --> 00:18:01,280
Doug is a perfectionist
600
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:02,347
about some things,
601
00:18:02,347 --> 00:18:03,749
and you just learn to let.
602
00:18:03,749 --> 00:18:03,916
All right.
603
00:18:03,916 --> 00:18:06,085
Well, then that's his let him do that
604
00:18:06,085 --> 00:18:07,152
because he's not going to be happy
605
00:18:07,152 --> 00:18:08,087
if I do it.
606
00:18:08,087 --> 00:18:09,021
So while he's doing that,
607
00:18:09,021 --> 00:18:10,022
maybe it's more productive
608
00:18:10,022 --> 00:18:12,091
if I do something else because that's his
609
00:18:12,458 --> 00:18:14,193
that's his thing right there.
610
00:18:14,193 --> 00:18:15,394
He's that guy.
611
00:18:15,394 --> 00:18:17,529
Maybe isn't maybe he's the as your guy.
612
00:18:17,529 --> 00:18:18,464
Nobody can know.
613
00:18:18,464 --> 00:18:19,231
We can
614
00:18:19,231 --> 00:18:21,133
if he starts someone else
615
00:18:21,133 --> 00:18:22,534
edges and he's stating the floor
616
00:18:22,534 --> 00:18:24,002
and he sees world works,
617
00:18:24,002 --> 00:18:25,704
he's going to go through the roof.
618
00:18:25,704 --> 00:18:27,573
So maybe he's he's that guy.
619
00:18:27,573 --> 00:18:28,740
You know what I mean?
620
00:18:28,907 --> 00:18:30,042
And I'll tell you something else.
621
00:18:30,042 --> 00:18:31,243
And I was guilty of this
622
00:18:32,811 --> 00:18:33,712
by saying
623
00:18:33,712 --> 00:18:36,915
this one simple two letter word, no
624
00:18:37,516 --> 00:18:39,151
can eliminate a tremendous amount of
625
00:18:39,151 --> 00:18:41,019
stress in your life.
626
00:18:41,019 --> 00:18:42,855
I sometimes book too many jobs.
627
00:18:42,855 --> 00:18:43,956
I mean, you know what I mean?
628
00:18:43,956 --> 00:18:45,691
But without without time in between.
629
00:18:45,691 --> 00:18:46,291
As you know,
630
00:18:46,291 --> 00:18:50,963
I wanted every every job in the world.
631
00:18:50,963 --> 00:18:53,031
And that's my fault.
632
00:18:53,031 --> 00:18:54,066
And that's stress
633
00:18:54,066 --> 00:18:55,334
I'm putting on the whole crew
634
00:18:55,334 --> 00:18:56,835
when I when I when I did that.
635
00:18:56,835 --> 00:18:57,769
And I have to recognize
636
00:18:57,769 --> 00:18:59,171
I have to own that.
637
00:18:59,538 --> 00:19:00,305
So
638
00:19:01,073 --> 00:19:03,642
I think saying no and and why are you
639
00:19:04,042 --> 00:19:07,613
why are you don't say no.
640
00:19:07,613 --> 00:19:08,947
I think maybe you have to examine
641
00:19:08,947 --> 00:19:09,648
that sometimes.
642
00:19:09,648 --> 00:19:12,217
Maybe it's just because
643
00:19:12,518 --> 00:19:13,051
you're doing it
644
00:19:13,051 --> 00:19:15,120
out of guilt or obligation
645
00:19:15,120 --> 00:19:16,588
or you're your people
646
00:19:16,588 --> 00:19:17,523
pleaser type of guy.
647
00:19:17,523 --> 00:19:19,124
You just want everybody to be happy
648
00:19:19,124 --> 00:19:19,992
and then you end up
649
00:19:19,992 --> 00:19:21,160
eating all the stress.
650
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,162
So there's a lot of a lot of
651
00:19:23,162 --> 00:19:24,429
it is a big deal.
652
00:19:24,429 --> 00:19:25,297
I mean, it you know,
653
00:19:25,297 --> 00:19:26,465
I think it's an important episode
654
00:19:26,465 --> 00:19:28,167
because it's part
655
00:19:28,167 --> 00:19:29,434
it goes hand in hand
656
00:19:29,434 --> 00:19:31,203
and parcel with this job
657
00:19:31,203 --> 00:19:32,337
and you have to be able
658
00:19:32,337 --> 00:19:33,272
to figure this one out.
659
00:19:34,806 --> 00:19:35,607
And because there's
660
00:19:35,607 --> 00:19:37,442
not a paycheck behind it and whatever,
661
00:19:37,442 --> 00:19:38,610
I mean can be it's
662
00:19:38,610 --> 00:19:41,813
maybe it's not tangible every time.
663
00:19:41,813 --> 00:19:43,582
It's very important nonetheless.
664
00:19:43,582 --> 00:19:44,716
And I think it's important
665
00:19:44,716 --> 00:19:46,084
you have to come to
666
00:19:46,084 --> 00:19:48,654
some kind of arrangement in yourself,
667
00:19:48,654 --> 00:19:49,721
your makeup
668
00:19:49,721 --> 00:19:53,525
on how you how you deal with it.
669
00:19:53,525 --> 00:19:54,593
I would like to see how
670
00:19:54,593 --> 00:19:55,861
you delegate your stress
671
00:19:55,861 --> 00:19:56,962
to the other guys.
672
00:19:56,962 --> 00:19:57,796
That's
673
00:19:58,830 --> 00:19:59,898
that's a good one.
674
00:19:59,898 --> 00:20:02,100
I lay that off on them, too.
675
00:20:02,100 --> 00:20:06,705
I start with yelling, yeah.
676
00:20:06,738 --> 00:20:08,607
Then throw things.
677
00:20:09,241 --> 00:20:11,276
Yeah, then kick things.
678
00:20:11,577 --> 00:20:13,679
Off. It's a three step process.
679
00:20:13,712 --> 00:20:15,380
I wish I had seen the tea bar
680
00:20:15,380 --> 00:20:17,249
flying out the door.
681
00:20:17,249 --> 00:20:18,317
Yeah, I do agree
682
00:20:18,317 --> 00:20:19,585
with what you said though.
683
00:20:19,585 --> 00:20:20,819
Embrace the stress
684
00:20:20,819 --> 00:20:24,323
because it's going to make you better.
685
00:20:24,323 --> 00:20:25,958
Yeah, 100%.
686
00:20:25,958 --> 00:20:27,125
It's going to make you better.
687
00:20:27,125 --> 00:20:28,860
You just can't let it eat your life.
688
00:20:28,860 --> 00:20:32,598
But it will definitely make you better.
689
00:20:32,598 --> 00:20:34,166
And he also is talking about
690
00:20:34,166 --> 00:20:35,901
eating you alive. You can't
691
00:20:37,135 --> 00:20:38,036
you got to
692
00:20:38,136 --> 00:20:39,071
you've got to
693
00:20:39,071 --> 00:20:40,205
not have that voice in your head
694
00:20:40,205 --> 00:20:41,607
criticizing yourself
695
00:20:41,607 --> 00:20:43,675
for for mistakes and stuff like that.
696
00:20:43,675 --> 00:20:44,676
You know what I mean?
697
00:20:44,676 --> 00:20:46,111
You take on a lot of responsibility
698
00:20:46,111 --> 00:20:47,512
when you do this job.
699
00:20:47,512 --> 00:20:49,248
There is a hundred
700
00:20:49,248 --> 00:20:50,649
different steps in doing it. Floor.
701
00:20:50,649 --> 00:20:52,484
Every step is critical.
702
00:20:52,484 --> 00:20:54,152
None of it can be overlooked.
703
00:20:54,152 --> 00:20:56,321
You can't take a shortcut on anything.
704
00:20:57,289 --> 00:20:58,257
At least you know.
705
00:20:58,257 --> 00:20:59,725
It seems like some of the other guys came
706
00:20:59,725 --> 00:21:00,525
when you go big jobs
707
00:21:00,525 --> 00:21:00,959
in this world
708
00:21:00,959 --> 00:21:02,628
Mark's and he's seemed like they got paid
709
00:21:02,628 --> 00:21:03,662
and they got away with it
710
00:21:03,662 --> 00:21:04,396
for some reason.
711
00:21:04,396 --> 00:21:05,030
You can't
712
00:21:05,030 --> 00:21:08,166
you think you know how that works
713
00:21:08,166 --> 00:21:08,967
but
714
00:21:09,601 --> 00:21:11,937
but but by doing that because here's
715
00:21:11,937 --> 00:21:12,671
what happens to
716
00:21:12,671 --> 00:21:16,575
when you get in that mode, then
717
00:21:16,942 --> 00:21:17,876
it kind of becomes
718
00:21:19,111 --> 00:21:21,913
like you start making bad decisions.
719
00:21:22,247 --> 00:21:23,248
When we started doing that,
720
00:21:23,248 --> 00:21:23,915
when you guys,
721
00:21:23,915 --> 00:21:24,816
when you get stressed out
722
00:21:24,816 --> 00:21:25,250
and you get in
723
00:21:25,250 --> 00:21:28,253
that you can get into a panic mode and
724
00:21:29,121 --> 00:21:30,255
you just have to tell yourself,
725
00:21:30,255 --> 00:21:32,124
Hey, I've been here before,
726
00:21:32,124 --> 00:21:34,693
we'll get through it, we'll handle it.
727
00:21:34,693 --> 00:21:35,694
We experience
728
00:21:35,694 --> 00:21:36,194
a lot of
729
00:21:36,194 --> 00:21:37,963
different stressful situations before
730
00:21:37,963 --> 00:21:40,232
and take a deep,
731
00:21:40,232 --> 00:21:40,799
deep breath
732
00:21:40,799 --> 00:21:42,467
and don't go into panic mode and
733
00:21:42,467 --> 00:21:45,237
and just, you know, just kind of
734
00:21:45,237 --> 00:21:47,739
talk yourself out of it so you.
735
00:21:48,607 --> 00:21:51,009
You need confidence.
736
00:21:51,043 --> 00:21:52,144
Yes.
737
00:21:52,144 --> 00:21:54,846
You need to often it's like, I got this,
738
00:21:55,947 --> 00:21:58,350
I get this.
739
00:21:58,350 --> 00:21:59,718
Well, the duck, right?
740
00:21:59,718 --> 00:22:01,353
He looks at
741
00:22:01,453 --> 00:22:02,621
the duck and underneath
742
00:22:02,621 --> 00:22:04,356
is paddling like crazy.
743
00:22:04,356 --> 00:22:05,524
I think you have to do something
744
00:22:05,524 --> 00:22:06,091
else, too.
745
00:22:06,091 --> 00:22:07,092
I think that's important.
746
00:22:07,092 --> 00:22:10,495
And I recognize this.
747
00:22:10,495 --> 00:22:12,631
When you get past it and you succeed,
748
00:22:12,631 --> 00:22:13,699
I think you need to stop
749
00:22:13,699 --> 00:22:14,866
and take a minute
750
00:22:14,866 --> 00:22:16,268
and congratulate yourself,
751
00:22:16,268 --> 00:22:17,803
just even if it's just a little, hey,
752
00:22:17,803 --> 00:22:18,236
you know what?
753
00:22:18,236 --> 00:22:19,771
We did this man and this
754
00:22:19,771 --> 00:22:22,274
and then kind of walk the steps and why
755
00:22:22,274 --> 00:22:23,342
I always want to remain.
756
00:22:23,342 --> 00:22:24,042
I always it's
757
00:22:24,042 --> 00:22:26,044
very that's why I took note so, so often.
758
00:22:26,645 --> 00:22:27,746
I want to
759
00:22:27,746 --> 00:22:30,248
always remember what led to the success
760
00:22:30,649 --> 00:22:32,684
and why it was successful and what we did
761
00:22:32,684 --> 00:22:33,819
and what were my concerns.
762
00:22:33,819 --> 00:22:34,586
I even put that in.
763
00:22:34,586 --> 00:22:35,721
If you go back and look at my notes
764
00:22:35,721 --> 00:22:38,023
as I was worried about X
765
00:22:38,023 --> 00:22:40,459
and then I did the boom, boom, boom.
766
00:22:40,459 --> 00:22:42,194
And so I
767
00:22:42,194 --> 00:22:44,196
even if you never read the notes,
768
00:22:44,196 --> 00:22:44,996
that's why
769
00:22:45,297 --> 00:22:46,498
that's why when you're
770
00:22:46,498 --> 00:22:48,367
when you're a teacher
771
00:22:48,367 --> 00:22:49,501
or if you really want to get good
772
00:22:49,501 --> 00:22:51,503
something, teach it to someone else.
773
00:22:52,771 --> 00:22:53,538
Because when you
774
00:22:53,538 --> 00:22:55,607
start teaching it to someone else,
775
00:22:55,607 --> 00:22:57,476
you'll realize how much you know.
776
00:22:57,476 --> 00:22:57,943
You know what I mean?
777
00:22:57,943 --> 00:22:58,977
Let me tell you something.
778
00:22:58,977 --> 00:23:00,278
When I get back on the air
779
00:23:00,278 --> 00:23:04,249
someday, I'm going to be an all star.
780
00:23:04,883 --> 00:23:07,352
Now that I coached hockey so long,
781
00:23:07,352 --> 00:23:09,421
I wish that somebody had coached me
782
00:23:09,421 --> 00:23:11,623
the way that I coached everybody else.
783
00:23:11,623 --> 00:23:13,558
Yeah, I'd have been a superstar.
784
00:23:13,558 --> 00:23:16,361
Yeah, I completely agree with you.
785
00:23:16,361 --> 00:23:17,462
You want to learn more
786
00:23:17,462 --> 00:23:19,197
about what you're doing,
787
00:23:19,197 --> 00:23:20,399
teach or coach,
788
00:23:20,399 --> 00:23:23,301
and then all of a sudden things start.
789
00:23:23,301 --> 00:23:25,737
Well, I know what I do flaws better.
790
00:23:25,737 --> 00:23:27,539
Since I've been
791
00:23:27,773 --> 00:23:28,573
since I started
792
00:23:28,573 --> 00:23:29,541
being an instructor,
793
00:23:29,541 --> 00:23:31,810
I definitely do a better job
794
00:23:31,810 --> 00:23:33,945
with my flaws just from,
795
00:23:33,945 --> 00:23:35,080
you know, actually practice
796
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:36,381
and what I preach.
797
00:23:36,381 --> 00:23:37,616
Yeah, not,
798
00:23:37,616 --> 00:23:39,284
you know, not cutting around things.
799
00:23:40,452 --> 00:23:41,253
If you
800
00:23:41,253 --> 00:23:41,820
never done it
801
00:23:41,820 --> 00:23:43,321
before and you,
802
00:23:43,321 --> 00:23:44,122
you talk to
803
00:23:44,122 --> 00:23:45,724
someone who's not in the trade
804
00:23:45,724 --> 00:23:47,726
a how to do a floor,
805
00:23:47,726 --> 00:23:49,594
and you start explaining everything
806
00:23:49,594 --> 00:23:50,762
and then you start realizing
807
00:23:50,762 --> 00:23:52,230
all these details
808
00:23:52,230 --> 00:23:53,098
and all these little things
809
00:23:53,098 --> 00:23:54,499
that come around.
810
00:23:54,499 --> 00:23:55,567
I think you'll impress
811
00:23:55,567 --> 00:23:57,536
the hell out of yourself
812
00:23:57,536 --> 00:23:59,671
when you relay it back to somebody else
813
00:23:59,671 --> 00:24:00,539
who's never done it before,
814
00:24:00,539 --> 00:24:02,641
because there's so many steps
815
00:24:02,641 --> 00:24:05,043
and it becomes second nature to you that
816
00:24:07,045 --> 00:24:08,380
then it's a ton.
817
00:24:08,380 --> 00:24:09,781
And I think
818
00:24:09,781 --> 00:24:10,048
for me
819
00:24:10,048 --> 00:24:11,249
it was when I started teaching
820
00:24:11,249 --> 00:24:13,652
that I never had it near as much as you.
821
00:24:13,652 --> 00:24:15,687
Obviously I moved on quicker.
822
00:24:15,687 --> 00:24:16,922
You got it.
823
00:24:18,290 --> 00:24:18,757
Now.
824
00:24:19,591 --> 00:24:21,359
A master dad and just a
825
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:22,794
I don't know, a few, few classes.
826
00:24:22,794 --> 00:24:23,161
It does.
827
00:24:23,161 --> 00:24:25,997
It's just it's just kept going right on.
828
00:24:25,997 --> 00:24:28,233
Just get over on. Yes.
829
00:24:28,233 --> 00:24:30,335
But in that short amount of time,
830
00:24:31,837 --> 00:24:34,906
I was like, wow, it's amazing.
831
00:24:34,906 --> 00:24:38,143
And how much you learn about yourself
832
00:24:38,143 --> 00:24:39,211
and the trade and everything
833
00:24:39,211 --> 00:24:40,111
and it's kind of cool.
834
00:24:40,111 --> 00:24:42,180
So, you know,
835
00:24:42,180 --> 00:24:42,647
think about
836
00:24:42,647 --> 00:24:43,615
when you're showing somebody
837
00:24:43,615 --> 00:24:46,351
how to run a big machine.
838
00:24:46,351 --> 00:24:47,552
You think about. It.
839
00:24:47,552 --> 00:24:49,321
I am thinking about it. Okay.
840
00:24:49,321 --> 00:24:50,489
And I've had guys
841
00:24:50,489 --> 00:24:51,356
who were
842
00:24:51,356 --> 00:24:52,290
who work with me
843
00:24:52,290 --> 00:24:53,258
and started working with me
844
00:24:53,258 --> 00:24:54,226
and they're like,
845
00:24:54,292 --> 00:24:55,427
Oh, he's doing this, he's
846
00:24:55,427 --> 00:24:56,127
doing that wrong.
847
00:24:56,127 --> 00:24:57,929
And I'm like, You know what?
848
00:24:57,929 --> 00:25:00,332
To really run a big machine properly,
849
00:25:00,332 --> 00:25:01,766
there's there's 12
850
00:25:01,766 --> 00:25:03,602
things you're telling me.
851
00:25:03,602 --> 00:25:05,670
I go if you tell him 12 things at a time,
852
00:25:05,770 --> 00:25:06,605
so, you know,
853
00:25:06,605 --> 00:25:08,006
I'll give him
854
00:25:08,139 --> 00:25:09,875
two or three things to start with.
855
00:25:09,875 --> 00:25:11,176
You're the two or three things
856
00:25:11,176 --> 00:25:12,010
I want you to do.
857
00:25:12,010 --> 00:25:13,111
And then
858
00:25:13,278 --> 00:25:14,613
once they get that down,
859
00:25:14,613 --> 00:25:16,548
they get a little time in,
860
00:25:16,548 --> 00:25:17,182
you know what I mean?
861
00:25:17,182 --> 00:25:18,350
They get a little muscle memory.
862
00:25:18,350 --> 00:25:20,552
Then I'll add another two or three things
863
00:25:20,552 --> 00:25:23,221
and then another couple of things,
864
00:25:23,221 --> 00:25:24,289
because it's amazing
865
00:25:24,289 --> 00:25:26,424
when you start breaking down, when you're
866
00:25:26,424 --> 00:25:27,859
teaching people about,
867
00:25:27,859 --> 00:25:28,894
you know, operating
868
00:25:28,894 --> 00:25:30,929
the equipment correctly and direction and
869
00:25:30,929 --> 00:25:32,030
footprint, all that stuff.
870
00:25:33,031 --> 00:25:35,100
There's a lot that's going on there
871
00:25:35,433 --> 00:25:37,202
that, you know,
872
00:25:37,202 --> 00:25:38,403
you've been doing it so long,
873
00:25:38,403 --> 00:25:40,639
you just turn the machine on and go.
874
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:43,008
But
875
00:25:43,975 --> 00:25:44,676
go ahead.
876
00:25:45,010 --> 00:25:45,677
I,
877
00:25:46,411 --> 00:25:50,215
I met a rep one time, different company.
878
00:25:50,282 --> 00:25:52,050
We ended up on one of the schools
879
00:25:52,050 --> 00:25:52,884
on the same panel.
880
00:25:52,884 --> 00:25:53,518
And we're just,
881
00:25:53,518 --> 00:25:53,818
you know,
882
00:25:53,818 --> 00:25:54,920
getting to know each other and everything
883
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:56,922
and add back backgrounds and stuff.
884
00:25:56,922 --> 00:25:58,089
And he told me he was a
885
00:25:58,089 --> 00:25:59,491
he was a Harvard Law man before
886
00:25:59,491 --> 00:26:01,026
before he got into to sales,
887
00:26:01,026 --> 00:26:01,593
what have you guys.
888
00:26:01,593 --> 00:26:02,127
Okay, whatever.
889
00:26:02,127 --> 00:26:03,929
I didn't think anything about it
890
00:26:03,929 --> 00:26:06,231
when it came time to say on the floor,
891
00:26:06,932 --> 00:26:10,402
Rob, I am not I'm not making it up.
892
00:26:10,402 --> 00:26:12,103
He got behind a big sander,
893
00:26:12,103 --> 00:26:13,471
and in three steps
894
00:26:13,471 --> 00:26:16,074
I said out loud to myself, Nope. No.
895
00:26:17,842 --> 00:26:19,344
I ain't a floor man.
896
00:26:19,344 --> 00:26:19,978
Who is he?
897
00:26:19,978 --> 00:26:21,580
Tell me. I'm not going to.
898
00:26:21,580 --> 00:26:23,281
They're going to say, you go. Yeah.
899
00:26:23,281 --> 00:26:24,616
I'll tell the. World.
900
00:26:24,616 --> 00:26:26,718
I'll tell you who he is.
901
00:26:26,718 --> 00:26:27,752
But yeah.
902
00:26:27,752 --> 00:26:28,753
So there's so many things
903
00:26:28,753 --> 00:26:30,355
I think we don't even realize.
904
00:26:30,355 --> 00:26:31,923
There's so many and gosh,
905
00:26:31,923 --> 00:26:33,525
there's so many small
906
00:26:33,525 --> 00:26:35,226
and there's that's why
907
00:26:35,226 --> 00:26:37,295
it's hard to hire somebody
908
00:26:37,295 --> 00:26:38,964
if you're really good at your craft
909
00:26:38,964 --> 00:26:40,532
and you care about is so hard
910
00:26:40,532 --> 00:26:42,233
because there's so many little things
911
00:26:42,233 --> 00:26:43,301
even vacuuming
912
00:26:43,301 --> 00:26:44,769
with the grain instead of vacuum
913
00:26:44,769 --> 00:26:45,503
against the grain.
914
00:26:45,503 --> 00:26:46,871
And in case of thing on the edge
915
00:26:46,871 --> 00:26:47,606
and the
916
00:26:47,606 --> 00:26:48,573
the vacuum falls off
917
00:26:48,573 --> 00:26:49,741
and you inside your closet,
918
00:26:49,741 --> 00:26:51,176
at least you're going with the grain,
919
00:26:51,176 --> 00:26:51,910
the little things.
920
00:26:51,910 --> 00:26:53,111
When you run in the buffer
921
00:26:53,111 --> 00:26:53,778
and you listen,
922
00:26:53,778 --> 00:26:54,779
you don't have your headphones on
923
00:26:54,779 --> 00:26:56,481
because you hear one of those
924
00:26:56,481 --> 00:26:57,215
flaky boards.
925
00:26:57,215 --> 00:26:58,083
And of course, I hear
926
00:26:58,083 --> 00:27:00,085
it's as it goes across,
927
00:27:00,085 --> 00:27:01,786
I explain that to somebody,
928
00:27:01,786 --> 00:27:02,787
you know what I mean?
929
00:27:02,787 --> 00:27:03,188
There's a
930
00:27:03,188 --> 00:27:04,055
there's so many things
931
00:27:04,055 --> 00:27:06,091
that go into this many, many small
932
00:27:06,091 --> 00:27:07,359
matters, small,
933
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:08,460
small things
934
00:27:08,460 --> 00:27:10,428
that add up to getting the check
935
00:27:10,428 --> 00:27:11,896
at the end of the job and making,
936
00:27:11,896 --> 00:27:13,932
you know, making it be successful. So.
937
00:27:13,932 --> 00:27:14,766
All right.
938
00:27:14,966 --> 00:27:17,869
Hey, one more question.
939
00:27:17,869 --> 00:27:19,871
So I know how you dealt with stress.
940
00:27:19,871 --> 00:27:20,972
When you got done,
941
00:27:20,972 --> 00:27:22,307
you threw the tea bar out the door.
942
00:27:22,307 --> 00:27:24,409
I think I was on that story.
943
00:27:24,409 --> 00:27:25,910
But when you got home,
944
00:27:25,910 --> 00:27:28,146
any any ways that you dealt with stress.
945
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,650
I can always leave it at home.
946
00:27:32,283 --> 00:27:33,685
I'm at home.
947
00:27:33,785 --> 00:27:34,986
I can always.
948
00:27:35,020 --> 00:27:36,621
Get. Oh, lucky Judy.
949
00:27:36,621 --> 00:27:37,856
Yeah, I.
950
00:27:37,856 --> 00:27:40,191
Give her all the stress and then yeah.
951
00:27:40,625 --> 00:27:42,527
For the most part, I was
952
00:27:42,527 --> 00:27:43,995
and I am so very,
953
00:27:43,995 --> 00:27:44,696
very fortunate
954
00:27:44,696 --> 00:27:46,731
because I'm on my personal side.
955
00:27:46,731 --> 00:27:48,767
I've I've have a charmed life.
956
00:27:48,767 --> 00:27:50,869
I'm very lucky.
957
00:27:50,869 --> 00:27:52,003
We always get along great.
958
00:27:52,003 --> 00:27:54,939
So we never have any real stress
959
00:27:54,939 --> 00:27:56,341
on that side of my life.
960
00:27:56,341 --> 00:27:56,908
You know what I mean?
961
00:27:56,908 --> 00:27:58,476
All my stress was business related,
962
00:27:59,778 --> 00:28:01,112
little family stress, but
963
00:28:01,112 --> 00:28:02,247
I was able to beat him up.
964
00:28:02,247 --> 00:28:03,381
But anyhow,
965
00:28:04,783 --> 00:28:06,217
other than that,
966
00:28:06,584 --> 00:28:08,186
no.
967
00:28:08,186 --> 00:28:08,720
Huh.
968
00:28:11,289 --> 00:28:12,257
Well, that's good.
969
00:28:12,257 --> 00:28:12,924
Yeah.
970
00:28:13,291 --> 00:28:14,626
I mean, we got some,
971
00:28:14,626 --> 00:28:15,760
you know, some of the
972
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,463
some of the interviews we did.
973
00:28:18,463 --> 00:28:19,531
It was great.
974
00:28:19,531 --> 00:28:20,632
We had some
975
00:28:22,033 --> 00:28:23,401
we got some really great answers
976
00:28:23,401 --> 00:28:24,803
as to how people different guys
977
00:28:24,803 --> 00:28:26,371
in our industry deal with the stress.
978
00:28:26,371 --> 00:28:28,773
I think everybody's going to enjoy that.
979
00:28:28,773 --> 00:28:30,875
And these are very successful,
980
00:28:30,875 --> 00:28:32,143
very good craftsmen,
981
00:28:32,143 --> 00:28:33,712
very good businessmen.
982
00:28:33,712 --> 00:28:36,014
So I'm really stoked that we
983
00:28:36,181 --> 00:28:37,482
we got a chance to talk to these guys.
984
00:28:37,482 --> 00:28:39,718
So why don't we just go in? Roll it.
985
00:28:39,718 --> 00:28:41,953
Well, for me, things are different.
986
00:28:41,953 --> 00:28:43,955
After being in business so long,
987
00:28:43,955 --> 00:28:47,325
I've been able to not allow the customer
988
00:28:47,559 --> 00:28:49,861
to to dictate how the
989
00:28:49,961 --> 00:28:51,362
the pricing is going to go.
990
00:28:51,362 --> 00:28:53,431
We we kind of come up with a
991
00:28:53,765 --> 00:28:55,333
a plan of what they're looking for.
992
00:28:55,333 --> 00:28:56,668
I don't let them,
993
00:28:56,668 --> 00:28:58,136
you know, if it's a sand and finished
994
00:28:58,136 --> 00:28:59,938
and we'll ask them what do they,
995
00:28:59,938 --> 00:29:01,740
you know, expect from the floor.
996
00:29:01,740 --> 00:29:02,474
What are they thinking
997
00:29:02,474 --> 00:29:03,842
as far as color those?
998
00:29:03,842 --> 00:29:05,910
How long do they plan on staying there?
999
00:29:05,910 --> 00:29:07,979
And then I can price the
1000
00:29:08,113 --> 00:29:10,181
the amount of coats that I know apply
1001
00:29:10,181 --> 00:29:11,416
or or the
1002
00:29:11,416 --> 00:29:12,751
procedure that we're going to do.
1003
00:29:12,751 --> 00:29:14,486
But majority of the customers
1004
00:29:14,486 --> 00:29:16,154
are long time customers of mine.
1005
00:29:16,154 --> 00:29:18,990
So the repeat or or higher ed referrals.
1006
00:29:18,990 --> 00:29:19,791
So it makes it a lot
1007
00:29:19,791 --> 00:29:21,760
easier that when we go in there,
1008
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:23,661
we're basically talking about,
1009
00:29:23,661 --> 00:29:26,431
you know, what their, their needs are and
1010
00:29:27,365 --> 00:29:28,233
which rooms we're going to
1011
00:29:28,233 --> 00:29:29,400
do and then whether do doing them
1012
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:30,301
natural or stain.
1013
00:29:30,301 --> 00:29:31,903
And so it makes it a lot easier.
1014
00:29:31,903 --> 00:29:33,171
And then when we give them a price,
1015
00:29:33,171 --> 00:29:34,072
sometimes
1016
00:29:34,439 --> 00:29:36,040
they may not even look at the estimate
1017
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:37,709
but just put it to the side.
1018
00:29:37,709 --> 00:29:39,511
We'll continue our conversation.
1019
00:29:39,511 --> 00:29:41,012
And then they'll basically say, okay,
1020
00:29:41,012 --> 00:29:42,480
when are you available?
1021
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:43,181
So
1022
00:29:44,149 --> 00:29:45,016
I've gotten away
1023
00:29:45,016 --> 00:29:46,818
from how much a square foot
1024
00:29:46,818 --> 00:29:48,453
question is when they asked me
1025
00:29:48,453 --> 00:29:51,022
already out how much a square foot.
1026
00:29:51,022 --> 00:29:53,391
I'm pretty sure I've not got to be
1027
00:29:53,391 --> 00:29:54,058
their guy.
1028
00:29:54,058 --> 00:29:56,928
I'll be like 100% sure that I know
1029
00:29:57,128 --> 00:29:57,662
that's how.
1030
00:29:57,662 --> 00:29:58,163
Yeah.
1031
00:29:58,163 --> 00:29:59,264
So, well, you know,
1032
00:29:59,264 --> 00:30:00,231
because I always ask them,
1033
00:30:00,231 --> 00:30:01,599
you know, you're driving a car.
1034
00:30:01,599 --> 00:30:03,301
Did you ask that car guy
1035
00:30:03,301 --> 00:30:05,270
how much the car is
1036
00:30:05,270 --> 00:30:06,805
or is it the kind of car
1037
00:30:06,805 --> 00:30:07,872
that you're looking for?
1038
00:30:07,872 --> 00:30:08,306
And that's
1039
00:30:08,306 --> 00:30:10,074
why you're at the car dealership.
1040
00:30:10,074 --> 00:30:11,376
So I,
1041
00:30:11,376 --> 00:30:13,111
I kind of need to talk
1042
00:30:13,111 --> 00:30:15,480
to gauge their expectations about what
1043
00:30:15,747 --> 00:30:17,081
their needs are versus
1044
00:30:17,081 --> 00:30:18,750
how much it is a square fire.
1045
00:30:18,750 --> 00:30:20,952
Oh, it's tough. It's a it's a juggle.
1046
00:30:21,119 --> 00:30:22,720
You know, you have to really
1047
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:23,588
but at the end of the day,
1048
00:30:23,588 --> 00:30:25,190
you really just have to
1049
00:30:25,190 --> 00:30:26,791
just just relax
1050
00:30:26,791 --> 00:30:28,960
and take one day at a time.
1051
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,830
You know, like I have problems keeping.
1052
00:30:31,830 --> 00:30:33,665
Up a phone calls and,
1053
00:30:33,665 --> 00:30:34,032
you know,
1054
00:30:34,032 --> 00:30:35,667
I'm kind of a
1055
00:30:35,667 --> 00:30:37,836
do it all guy on the estimate or.
1056
00:30:37,836 --> 00:30:39,571
The secretary, the,
1057
00:30:39,571 --> 00:30:41,806
you know, the the payroll guy and,
1058
00:30:41,806 --> 00:30:43,041
you know, and
1059
00:30:43,041 --> 00:30:44,108
but you just, you know,
1060
00:30:44,108 --> 00:30:45,710
I just really try not to bite off
1061
00:30:45,710 --> 00:30:46,644
more than I can chew.
1062
00:30:46,644 --> 00:30:49,981
And, you know, a faithful guy.
1063
00:30:49,981 --> 00:30:52,250
So I rely a lot on that
1064
00:30:52,250 --> 00:30:54,419
and will just one day, one day at a time
1065
00:30:54,419 --> 00:30:56,221
and then try to keep work. Work.
1066
00:30:56,221 --> 00:30:58,790
And yeah, my family's very special to me.
1067
00:30:58,790 --> 00:31:00,892
So I keep them, you know, keep them on.
1068
00:31:00,925 --> 00:31:01,893
But they're involved, too.
1069
00:31:01,893 --> 00:31:03,161
So I like the style.
1070
00:31:03,161 --> 00:31:03,661
You know,
1071
00:31:03,661 --> 00:31:07,232
a lot of it is about perspective,
1072
00:31:07,532 --> 00:31:08,833
understanding that not
1073
00:31:08,833 --> 00:31:09,634
everything is going to go
1074
00:31:09,634 --> 00:31:12,070
well every single time, not that
1075
00:31:12,770 --> 00:31:14,072
you're not going make the effort
1076
00:31:14,072 --> 00:31:15,373
to try to do the best
1077
00:31:15,373 --> 00:31:17,542
you can and run the food as best you can.
1078
00:31:17,609 --> 00:31:19,177
Give your customer the best product.
1079
00:31:19,177 --> 00:31:20,211
But just knowing that
1080
00:31:20,211 --> 00:31:20,945
there are things
1081
00:31:20,945 --> 00:31:22,080
that are going to go wrong
1082
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:23,414
and then just knowing
1083
00:31:23,414 --> 00:31:25,383
that you have the experience
1084
00:31:25,383 --> 00:31:25,884
and the knowledge
1085
00:31:25,884 --> 00:31:27,318
to be able to deal with that
1086
00:31:27,318 --> 00:31:28,686
while at the same time that
1087
00:31:29,954 --> 00:31:31,589
not everything is like enough.
1088
00:31:31,589 --> 00:31:33,358
You know, in my younger years,
1089
00:31:33,358 --> 00:31:34,926
everything was everything that I wanted
1090
00:31:34,926 --> 00:31:36,728
to make sure that the job went well.
1091
00:31:36,728 --> 00:31:37,362
And one of the issues,
1092
00:31:37,362 --> 00:31:40,064
the customer is 100% happy that
1093
00:31:40,064 --> 00:31:41,199
and with that,
1094
00:31:41,199 --> 00:31:41,966
there's a lot of pressure
1095
00:31:41,966 --> 00:31:43,201
associated with that.
1096
00:31:43,201 --> 00:31:45,303
So I feel like as I've gotten older,
1097
00:31:45,303 --> 00:31:47,672
I've also got a little more perspective
1098
00:31:47,739 --> 00:31:48,973
and realize that
1099
00:31:48,973 --> 00:31:50,708
although what we do is important,
1100
00:31:50,708 --> 00:31:51,276
it's not the
1101
00:31:51,276 --> 00:31:52,543
most important thing in the world.
1102
00:31:52,543 --> 00:31:55,113
And when things issues do come up,
1103
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:57,015
you deal with them
1104
00:31:57,015 --> 00:31:58,616
as best you can, is professional
1105
00:31:58,616 --> 00:31:59,417
as you can.
1106
00:31:59,417 --> 00:32:00,218
But just keep in mind
1107
00:32:00,218 --> 00:32:01,653
that it's not the law.
1108
00:32:01,653 --> 00:32:03,855
Yeah, I'm a beekeeper.
1109
00:32:03,855 --> 00:32:06,591
I go out in my yard after work
1110
00:32:06,591 --> 00:32:08,760
and I just watch the bees come in and out
1111
00:32:08,793 --> 00:32:10,628
and fly carefree
1112
00:32:10,628 --> 00:32:13,364
and just enjoying their day, doing work
1113
00:32:13,364 --> 00:32:15,333
so they can make it to the winter.
1114
00:32:15,333 --> 00:32:16,868
Just like that. Sometimes. Yeah.
1115
00:32:16,868 --> 00:32:18,603
You have to be calm around the bees.
1116
00:32:18,603 --> 00:32:20,104
If you're mad or aggravated,
1117
00:32:20,104 --> 00:32:22,340
you start making stupid moves
1118
00:32:22,340 --> 00:32:22,941
and the bees
1119
00:32:22,941 --> 00:32:24,008
tell you when you make a stupid
1120
00:32:24,008 --> 00:32:25,243
move by staying in the arm
1121
00:32:26,344 --> 00:32:28,713
or the face or whatever the case may be.
1122
00:32:28,713 --> 00:32:31,249
So you just have to be really quiet
1123
00:32:31,249 --> 00:32:33,284
and just calm and
1124
00:32:33,284 --> 00:32:34,519
and it's
1125
00:32:34,519 --> 00:32:35,186
kind of like
1126
00:32:35,186 --> 00:32:36,321
a little meditation,
1127
00:32:36,321 --> 00:32:39,390
meditation, meditation to well,
1128
00:32:39,691 --> 00:32:40,224
I was lucky.
1129
00:32:40,224 --> 00:32:42,093
My father taught me how to meditate
1130
00:32:42,093 --> 00:32:43,261
when I was young,
1131
00:32:43,428 --> 00:32:45,330
to deal with headaches, actually.
1132
00:32:45,330 --> 00:32:47,231
And I've carried out over
1133
00:32:47,231 --> 00:32:48,666
into my adult life
1134
00:32:48,666 --> 00:32:50,001
and meditation
1135
00:32:50,001 --> 00:32:50,601
and just
1136
00:32:50,601 --> 00:32:52,837
concentrating on your breathing, really.
1137
00:32:52,837 --> 00:32:53,638
You'd be surprised
1138
00:32:53,638 --> 00:32:55,106
what you can do by
1139
00:32:55,106 --> 00:32:56,774
trying to put everything else
1140
00:32:56,774 --> 00:32:57,542
out of your brain,
1141
00:32:57,542 --> 00:32:59,444
concentrate on breathing
1142
00:32:59,444 --> 00:33:00,378
and just meditate
1143
00:33:00,378 --> 00:33:01,679
and not think about anything else.
1144
00:33:01,679 --> 00:33:03,114
For 5 minutes.
1145
00:33:03,114 --> 00:33:05,116
You can get your blood pressure down.
1146
00:33:05,116 --> 00:33:06,117
I've seen it in action
1147
00:33:06,117 --> 00:33:08,386
because I've I've gone to my cardiologist
1148
00:33:08,386 --> 00:33:10,054
and I've done it in the office.
1149
00:33:10,054 --> 00:33:10,822
You know, a lot of times
1150
00:33:10,822 --> 00:33:11,789
you go to your doctor
1151
00:33:11,789 --> 00:33:12,890
and they take your blood pressure
1152
00:33:12,890 --> 00:33:13,624
and it's super high.
1153
00:33:13,624 --> 00:33:14,625
You're like, Oh, what's wrong with you?
1154
00:33:14,625 --> 00:33:16,094
You got high blood pressure.
1155
00:33:16,094 --> 00:33:16,794
Well, you really don't.
1156
00:33:16,794 --> 00:33:18,363
Usually it's anxiety
1157
00:33:18,363 --> 00:33:19,831
just from being in the doctor's office.
1158
00:33:21,032 --> 00:33:22,300
And I found that
1159
00:33:22,300 --> 00:33:23,401
through meditation,
1160
00:33:23,401 --> 00:33:24,736
you can really lower
1161
00:33:24,736 --> 00:33:26,304
your blood pressure big time.
1162
00:33:26,304 --> 00:33:28,639
So I really use that any time.
1163
00:33:28,639 --> 00:33:30,108
I've had like
1164
00:33:30,108 --> 00:33:31,442
extreme anxiety
1165
00:33:31,442 --> 00:33:33,511
and I've had issues with extreme anxiety
1166
00:33:33,511 --> 00:33:34,612
because I have epilepsy too.
1167
00:33:34,612 --> 00:33:38,049
So that combined with epilepsy actually
1168
00:33:38,349 --> 00:33:40,118
create problems for me too.
1169
00:33:40,118 --> 00:33:42,420
So really controlling
1170
00:33:42,420 --> 00:33:43,755
that was like essential
1171
00:33:43,755 --> 00:33:45,623
or I probably wouldn't be here.
1172
00:33:45,623 --> 00:33:45,957
You know,
1173
00:33:45,957 --> 00:33:47,725
that's the hard part of this business.
1174
00:33:47,725 --> 00:33:50,828
But I try to take a little time off
1175
00:33:50,828 --> 00:33:51,362
when I can,
1176
00:33:51,362 --> 00:33:52,397
you know, with my kids
1177
00:33:52,397 --> 00:33:52,830
go, you know,
1178
00:33:52,830 --> 00:33:56,467
do a bicycle ride, walk in the beach,
1179
00:33:56,467 --> 00:33:58,703
you know, when I have a chance,
1180
00:33:58,703 --> 00:34:00,338
that's, you know, that's how I deal with,
1181
00:34:00,338 --> 00:34:01,105
you know, with the stress,
1182
00:34:01,105 --> 00:34:01,739
trying to forget
1183
00:34:01,739 --> 00:34:02,140
a little bit
1184
00:34:02,140 --> 00:34:05,276
about the floor for a second.
1185
00:34:05,276 --> 00:34:06,377
Okay. Thanks, guys.
1186
00:34:06,377 --> 00:34:07,311
Thanks for all the guys
1187
00:34:07,311 --> 00:34:08,312
that we interviewed.
1188
00:34:08,312 --> 00:34:09,280
I mean, there were some great
1189
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:10,681
tips there, as I said,
1190
00:34:10,681 --> 00:34:12,150
from some really great floor
1191
00:34:12,150 --> 00:34:12,750
guys, high
1192
00:34:12,750 --> 00:34:14,152
character guys, man, great
1193
00:34:14,152 --> 00:34:15,820
craftsmen, great businessmen, all
1194
00:34:15,820 --> 00:34:16,921
every single one of them,
1195
00:34:18,289 --> 00:34:19,057
you know,
1196
00:34:19,557 --> 00:34:21,359
the industry's better for having them.
1197
00:34:21,359 --> 00:34:23,361
So thank you to those guys.
1198
00:34:23,361 --> 00:34:24,362
Yeah You know what?
1199
00:34:24,362 --> 00:34:26,264
I want to I just want to
1200
00:34:26,931 --> 00:34:29,100
check in again with Bill Powell.
1201
00:34:29,700 --> 00:34:32,336
He's like the third guy I've met
1202
00:34:33,137 --> 00:34:35,573
in the industry who's a B guy.
1203
00:34:37,041 --> 00:34:39,143
I met two guys, one guy in Ohio,
1204
00:34:39,143 --> 00:34:39,577
one guy
1205
00:34:39,577 --> 00:34:40,611
down, and
1206
00:34:41,012 --> 00:34:43,381
the other guy was down south someplace
1207
00:34:43,381 --> 00:34:44,649
when I was in sport.
1208
00:34:44,649 --> 00:34:48,686
They were big guys and Bill's a big guy.
1209
00:34:48,686 --> 00:34:50,354
And when he came into training,
1210
00:34:50,354 --> 00:34:51,789
we did in Albany,
1211
00:34:51,789 --> 00:34:52,890
he brought in,
1212
00:34:52,890 --> 00:34:54,559
he brought honey in for everybody.
1213
00:34:54,559 --> 00:34:56,861
It was stuff from his height.
1214
00:34:56,861 --> 00:34:59,397
So that was pretty cool.
1215
00:34:59,597 --> 00:35:00,364
I mean, that would be
1216
00:35:00,364 --> 00:35:02,700
the last thing I would think.
1217
00:35:02,700 --> 00:35:04,068
How do you handle stress?
1218
00:35:04,068 --> 00:35:04,802
I handle stress
1219
00:35:04,802 --> 00:35:10,608
by surrounding myself with bees.
1220
00:35:10,608 --> 00:35:14,545
I'm trying to find this.
1221
00:35:14,545 --> 00:35:15,980
I watched a movie on bees
1222
00:35:15,980 --> 00:35:16,981
not long ago
1223
00:35:16,981 --> 00:35:18,182
and it was absolutely,
1224
00:35:18,182 --> 00:35:19,917
positively fascinating.
1225
00:35:19,917 --> 00:35:21,152
And I have zero desire.
1226
00:35:21,152 --> 00:35:22,653
I had no desire to know
1227
00:35:22,653 --> 00:35:24,689
anything about bees at all. I
1228
00:35:26,090 --> 00:35:27,391
mean, nothing to me.
1229
00:35:27,391 --> 00:35:29,827
But the movie movie was fascinating.
1230
00:35:30,428 --> 00:35:33,464
And I also I said
1231
00:35:33,464 --> 00:35:35,833
I spent like a four hour drive
1232
00:35:35,867 --> 00:35:37,935
to to go fish with somebody.
1233
00:35:37,935 --> 00:35:38,202
And I
1234
00:35:38,202 --> 00:35:39,871
and we were all drive back
1235
00:35:39,871 --> 00:35:42,273
with the same guy who also
1236
00:35:44,475 --> 00:35:45,810
mess with bees or whatever,
1237
00:35:45,810 --> 00:35:48,012
you know, had bees.
1238
00:35:48,012 --> 00:35:50,481
And it was unbelievable
1239
00:35:50,481 --> 00:35:51,215
how much he was able
1240
00:35:51,215 --> 00:35:52,216
to learn about them bees
1241
00:35:52,216 --> 00:35:53,251
and how every one of them
1242
00:35:53,251 --> 00:35:54,886
had a certain responsibility.
1243
00:35:54,886 --> 00:35:57,555
And hell, it's unreal.
1244
00:35:57,555 --> 00:35:59,557
It's just absolutely fascinating.
1245
00:35:59,557 --> 00:36:02,460
So, yeah, I agree.
1246
00:36:03,094 --> 00:36:03,961
All right, Rob,
1247
00:36:03,961 --> 00:36:05,163
thank you very much, as always.
1248
00:36:05,163 --> 00:36:05,763
It was great to see
1249
00:36:05,763 --> 00:36:07,798
you spend a couple of days with you.
1250
00:36:07,798 --> 00:36:10,301
Always a pleasure and.
1251
00:36:10,301 --> 00:36:12,136
Good seeing you. Stuff.
1252
00:36:12,136 --> 00:36:13,371
So there's been another episode
1253
00:36:13,371 --> 00:36:15,339
of On the Floor with Wayne and Rob.
1254
00:36:15,339 --> 00:36:24,448
Please stay tuned for another episode.
