00:00:11,978 --> 00:00:13,246

Welcome to another episode of

 

2

00:00:13,246 --> 00:00:14,481

On the Floor with Wayne and Rob.

 

3

00:00:14,481 --> 00:00:15,415

I'm Wayne, Highlander

 

4

00:00:15,415 --> 00:00:17,283

with Bona Adhesives.

 

5

00:00:17,283 --> 00:00:20,120

And, Rob Johnson from the Bona

 

6

00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,123

training, Hey, Rob.

 

7

00:00:24,257 --> 00:00:25,458

Hey, Wayne.

 

8

00:00:25,458 --> 00:00:27,027

How's it going? I'm good.

 

9

00:00:27,027 --> 00:00:28,728

Thank you.

 

10

00:00:28,728 --> 00:00:30,163

I thought we would talk a little bit

 

11

00:00:30,163 --> 00:00:33,166

about networking today.

 

12

00:00:34,968 --> 00:00:36,069

All right.

 

13

00:00:36,069 --> 00:00:36,803

You good?

 

14

00:00:36,803 --> 00:00:39,239

Okay.

 

15

00:00:39,239 --> 00:00:41,307

All right.

 

16

00:00:41,307 --> 00:00:44,310

 

 

17

00:00:44,944 --> 00:00:47,947

Okay.

 

18

00:01:08,501 --> 00:01:11,504

Let's save some money.

 

19

00:01:16,910 --> 00:01:17,977

Oh, there you go.

 

20

00:01:17,977 --> 00:01:20,380

All right. Well, Let's see.

 

21

00:01:20,380 --> 00:01:23,750

I'm often asked

 

22

00:01:23,750 --> 00:01:25,051

and sometimes it comes across,

 

23

00:01:25,051 --> 00:01:25,685

we get asked,

 

24

00:01:25,685 --> 00:01:28,922

if I'm, if I'm going to nail the floor

 

25

00:01:28,922 --> 00:01:29,789

anyhow.

 

26

00:01:29,789 --> 00:01:31,057

Do I have to use the same size

 

27

00:01:31,057 --> 00:01:33,026

night's trowel or can I, can I,

 

28

00:01:33,026 --> 00:01:33,726

you know, go down

 

29

00:01:33,726 --> 00:01:36,729

to, a size or two and save money

 

30

00:01:36,830 --> 00:01:38,565

as what you get in that?

 

31

00:01:38,565 --> 00:01:40,700

So here's the dealio.

 

32

00:01:40,700 --> 00:01:42,669

I've got an engineer

 

33

00:01:42,669 --> 00:01:43,603

that's more palatable

 

34

00:01:43,603 --> 00:01:45,138

on an engineered floor.

 

35

00:01:45,138 --> 00:01:47,240

But when you get into, like,

 

36

00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,210

the wide, like, like a solid floor,

 

37

00:01:50,410 --> 00:01:52,278

some of those have the, like, the,

 

38

00:01:52,278 --> 00:01:53,279

the curves on the back,

 

39

00:01:53,279 --> 00:01:54,581

and some of them are deep curves

 

40

00:01:54,581 --> 00:01:56,049

on the back of the boards.

 

41

00:01:56,049 --> 00:01:59,385

And, when you got to a smaller trowel,

 

42

00:01:59,385 --> 00:01:59,986

you can,

 

43

00:01:59,986 --> 00:02:02,522

it cannot get up into the void

 

44

00:02:02,522 --> 00:02:03,890

and reach into the curves and everything

 

45

00:02:03,890 --> 00:02:04,724

like you'd want them to.

 

46

00:02:04,724 --> 00:02:06,259

Right. Makes sense.

 

47

00:02:06,259 --> 00:02:07,760

So when people ask me

 

48

00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,095

that and understanding

 

49

00:02:09,095 --> 00:02:10,930

that they want to save some money,

 

50

00:02:10,930 --> 00:02:12,732

that's the idea that, okay,

 

51

00:02:12,732 --> 00:02:13,099

I mean,

 

52

00:02:13,099 --> 00:02:15,034

they don't want a full trowel because.

 

53

00:02:15,034 --> 00:02:15,768

And the old

 

54

00:02:15,768 --> 00:02:16,269

because they want to

 

55

00:02:16,269 --> 00:02:17,770

save money on the job,

 

56

00:02:17,770 --> 00:02:19,472

which obviously

 

57

00:02:19,472 --> 00:02:21,274

that's the optimum for traveling in.

 

58

00:02:21,274 --> 00:02:21,574

They like,

 

59

00:02:21,574 --> 00:02:23,710

but if they want to save money in that,

 

60

00:02:23,710 --> 00:02:26,045

I'd rather than have them

 

61

00:02:26,045 --> 00:02:26,846

rather than have them

 

62

00:02:26,846 --> 00:02:28,114

drop down to a smaller notch.

 

63

00:02:28,114 --> 00:02:31,751

Trowel is maybe, skip trowel,

 

64

00:02:32,152 --> 00:02:33,319

like every eight inch or so

 

65

00:02:33,319 --> 00:02:34,954

and go with a, with a, quarter.

 

66

00:02:34,954 --> 00:02:35,955

It's not your wider.

 

67

00:02:35,955 --> 00:02:36,890

Not so you can make sure

 

68

00:02:36,890 --> 00:02:38,591

you get up into all the recesses

 

69

00:02:38,591 --> 00:02:40,160

of the, of that board.

 

70

00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:40,760

Does that make sense.

 

71

00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:41,628

So you can

 

72

00:02:41,628 --> 00:02:42,795

you can still,

 

73

00:02:42,795 --> 00:02:44,464

you know, save some money by like,

 

74

00:02:44,464 --> 00:02:45,198

you know, going over

 

75

00:02:45,198 --> 00:02:46,833

every eight inches or so

 

76

00:02:46,833 --> 00:02:49,202

and, and steadily nailing schedule.

 

77

00:02:49,202 --> 00:02:50,470

But by that way, you're getting you're

 

78

00:02:50,470 --> 00:02:50,837

making sure

 

79

00:02:50,837 --> 00:02:52,005

you're getting adhesive up into

 

80

00:02:52,005 --> 00:02:53,540

the board. That makes sense.

 

81

00:02:54,574 --> 00:02:55,909

So you would use the same

 

82

00:02:55,909 --> 00:02:58,444

trowel you would use

 

83

00:02:58,444 --> 00:03:00,747

if you were going full trowel.

 

84

00:03:00,747 --> 00:03:01,347

Yep.

 

85

00:03:01,347 --> 00:03:02,382

Like let's say

 

86

00:03:02,382 --> 00:03:02,782

let's say

 

87

00:03:02,782 --> 00:03:04,417

I wasn't going to nail the Florida

 

88

00:03:04,417 --> 00:03:05,418

and I was going to use,

 

89

00:03:05,418 --> 00:03:07,487

like the 1250 trowel or whatever.

 

90

00:03:07,487 --> 00:03:08,354

Because,

 

91

00:03:08,354 --> 00:03:10,256

you know, it's a five inch or so,

 

92

00:03:10,256 --> 00:03:10,623

you know,

 

93

00:03:10,623 --> 00:03:12,192

six inch wide plank board

 

94

00:03:12,192 --> 00:03:14,594

or you maybe there's a 1500 trowel.

 

95

00:03:14,594 --> 00:03:16,229

Use the same trowel.

 

96

00:03:16,229 --> 00:03:18,965

But just just, you know,

 

97

00:03:18,965 --> 00:03:20,934

skip trowel every eight inches or so,

 

98

00:03:20,934 --> 00:03:22,202

and you can trowel that out.

 

99

00:03:22,202 --> 00:03:24,204

You can try that out pretty quick

 

100

00:03:24,204 --> 00:03:25,138

when you're doing that.

 

101

00:03:25,138 --> 00:03:26,906

I'd rather that then.

 

102

00:03:26,906 --> 00:03:28,875

Now, if it's an engineered floor

 

103

00:03:28,875 --> 00:03:30,410

where it's flat on the bottom, like,

 

104

00:03:30,410 --> 00:03:31,110

you know what I mean?

 

105

00:03:31,110 --> 00:03:32,445

You could probably drop

 

106

00:03:32,445 --> 00:03:33,947

down a drop down in size

 

107

00:03:33,947 --> 00:03:35,114

and in the trowel

 

108

00:03:35,114 --> 00:03:37,617

without any problem for sure. So, okay.

 

109

00:03:38,585 --> 00:03:40,687

All right, all right.

 

110

00:03:40,687 --> 00:03:42,288

Because you're not at that point,

 

111

00:03:42,288 --> 00:03:44,724

you're not worried about sound control.

 

112

00:03:44,724 --> 00:03:46,226

Just thinking it through

 

113

00:03:46,226 --> 00:03:47,560

because you're kneeling also.

 

114

00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:48,328

So it kind of defeats

 

115

00:03:48,328 --> 00:03:49,662

the purpose of that. So yeah.

 

116

00:03:49,662 --> 00:03:50,997

Absolutely. You could do that.

 

117

00:03:50,997 --> 00:03:54,000

All right.

 

118

00:04:02,809 --> 00:04:03,276

Yeah.

 

119

00:04:03,276 --> 00:04:03,676

A lot of

 

120

00:04:03,676 --> 00:04:04,577

you had the deep curves

 

121

00:04:04,577 --> 00:04:05,612

in the back of the boards

 

122

00:04:05,612 --> 00:04:06,246

and what have you.

 

123

00:04:06,246 --> 00:04:07,447

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

 

124

00:04:07,447 --> 00:04:09,649

Exactly right. Okay.

 

125

00:04:09,649 --> 00:04:10,216

All right.

 

126

00:04:10,216 --> 00:04:12,986

So is it.

 

127

00:04:12,986 --> 00:04:14,854

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

 

128

00:04:14,854 --> 00:04:17,857

There you go.

 

129

00:04:19,292 --> 00:04:19,826

All right.

 

130

00:04:19,826 --> 00:04:21,928

Let's talk about networking.

 

131

00:04:21,928 --> 00:04:23,563

Would you, would.

 

132

00:04:23,563 --> 00:04:25,131

You say.

 

133

00:04:25,131 --> 00:04:26,432

That you are an introvert

 

134

00:04:26,432 --> 00:04:29,435

or an extrovert?

 

135

00:04:31,938 --> 00:04:32,672

You are.

 

136

00:04:32,672 --> 00:04:33,006

Would you.

 

137

00:04:33,006 --> 00:04:35,642

What would you say?

 

138

00:04:35,642 --> 00:04:36,676

Yeah.

 

139

00:04:36,676 --> 00:04:37,777

I would agree with that. With you.

 

140

00:04:37,777 --> 00:04:40,780

What would you say that I am?

 

141

00:04:45,451 --> 00:04:47,253

Oh I'm absolutely not an extrovert.

 

142

00:04:49,689 --> 00:04:51,624

No

 

143

00:04:51,624 --> 00:04:53,760

I think I'm going to ambivalent.

 

144

00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,095

I think that's a word.

 

145

00:04:56,095 --> 00:04:58,264

Yeah.

 

146

00:04:58,264 --> 00:05:01,134

I at work, I'm an extrovert, I think.

 

147

00:05:01,134 --> 00:05:03,469

But in my true nature of my mind,

 

148

00:05:03,469 --> 00:05:04,971

you know, when I'm by myself

 

149

00:05:04,971 --> 00:05:07,340

or in my, you know, not working world.

 

150

00:05:07,340 --> 00:05:09,175

I'm definitely an introvert.

 

151

00:05:09,175 --> 00:05:11,444

I don't like I don't I don't talk a lot.

 

152

00:05:11,444 --> 00:05:14,347

I don't.

 

153

00:05:14,347 --> 00:05:17,250

Well, there's not that it

 

154

00:05:17,250 --> 00:05:20,253

I think just think that's my nature.

 

155

00:05:26,292 --> 00:05:29,295

The, that's a bad example.

 

156

00:05:29,762 --> 00:05:32,131

That might. Yeah.

 

157

00:05:32,131 --> 00:05:32,532

All right.

 

158

00:05:32,532 --> 00:05:34,367

Reason I ask that.

 

159

00:05:34,367 --> 00:05:36,836

I think talking about,

 

160

00:05:36,836 --> 00:05:39,839

networking and,

 

161

00:05:40,506 --> 00:05:42,308

as a, as an introvert, for me,

 

162

00:05:42,308 --> 00:05:43,710

especially to I remember

 

163

00:05:43,710 --> 00:05:46,179

going back as a younger contractor,

 

164

00:05:46,179 --> 00:05:50,049

I didn't I was not one to,

 

165

00:05:50,049 --> 00:05:51,317

like, talk in the crowd

 

166

00:05:51,317 --> 00:05:52,118

and not to

 

167

00:05:52,118 --> 00:05:53,920

to reach out to people or and and,

 

168

00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,755

and and also

 

169

00:05:55,755 --> 00:05:57,590

I was of the mindset

 

170

00:05:57,590 --> 00:05:59,592

that, you know, my, my, my work

 

171

00:05:59,592 --> 00:06:01,627

did the talking. You know what I mean?

 

172

00:06:01,627 --> 00:06:02,495

I didn't

 

173

00:06:02,495 --> 00:06:03,996

yeah, that was just the way it was.

 

174

00:06:03,996 --> 00:06:05,331

I was quiet and kept to yourself

 

175

00:06:05,331 --> 00:06:06,499

and what have you.

 

176

00:06:06,499 --> 00:06:08,501

But, it's a kind of a different world

 

177

00:06:08,501 --> 00:06:09,902

now where everybody seems

 

178

00:06:09,902 --> 00:06:11,604

to be their own advocate

 

179

00:06:11,604 --> 00:06:14,607

and just in general, I think the,

 

180

00:06:15,208 --> 00:06:17,977

how important it is to network,

 

181

00:06:18,978 --> 00:06:21,981

for a lot of different reasons.

 

182

00:06:22,515 --> 00:06:23,649

And I'll tell you one thing

 

183

00:06:23,649 --> 00:06:25,985

I just heard about recently,

 

184

00:06:25,985 --> 00:06:28,054

that, you know, that's really smart,

 

185

00:06:28,054 --> 00:06:30,790

a flooring contractor that I know,

 

186

00:06:30,790 --> 00:06:32,258

was friends with,

 

187

00:06:32,258 --> 00:06:32,658

and he

 

188

00:06:32,658 --> 00:06:35,628

joined a, kind of a, a small business

 

189

00:06:36,496 --> 00:06:38,197

business association or what have you.

 

190

00:06:38,197 --> 00:06:39,065

And there's different,

 

191

00:06:39,065 --> 00:06:41,267

you know, it could be a,

 

192

00:06:41,267 --> 00:06:42,769

the tile guy in there.

 

193

00:06:42,769 --> 00:06:43,436

It could be a painter.

 

194

00:06:43,436 --> 00:06:44,070

Could also,

 

195

00:06:44,070 --> 00:06:44,937

just be like a guy

 

196

00:06:44,937 --> 00:06:46,472

that owns a subway store or whatever,

 

197

00:06:46,472 --> 00:06:46,672

you know,

 

198

00:06:46,672 --> 00:06:47,440

just all kind of

 

199

00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,510

small, professional, business people.

 

200

00:06:51,411 --> 00:06:52,678

And he got to talking with one

 

201

00:06:52,678 --> 00:06:53,880

and about how hard,

 

202

00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,883

how much his rent was for his, his shop.

 

203

00:06:57,016 --> 00:07:00,153

And, man, the landlord raised it again.

 

204

00:07:00,153 --> 00:07:01,120

And you're paying

 

205

00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:02,321

all this money for rent?

 

206

00:07:02,321 --> 00:07:03,322

The other guy was kind of saying

 

207

00:07:03,322 --> 00:07:04,824

the same thing.

 

208

00:07:04,824 --> 00:07:06,225

Totally unrelated.

 

209

00:07:06,225 --> 00:07:08,494

The guy was a painter,

 

210

00:07:08,494 --> 00:07:10,630

and he started saying, you know what?

 

211

00:07:10,630 --> 00:07:11,597

Let's look at my shop.

 

212

00:07:11,597 --> 00:07:12,165

In your shop?

 

213

00:07:12,165 --> 00:07:14,333

Does it make sense to combine them

 

214

00:07:14,333 --> 00:07:15,868

and split the rent?

 

215

00:07:15,868 --> 00:07:17,570

On this?

 

216

00:07:17,570 --> 00:07:19,639

And it worked out fantastic

 

217

00:07:19,639 --> 00:07:21,140

for both of them.

 

218

00:07:21,140 --> 00:07:24,110

So, you know, just through networking

 

219

00:07:24,444 --> 00:07:26,012

opens a lot of doors

 

220

00:07:26,012 --> 00:07:27,380

that, you know, if you're closed off

 

221

00:07:27,380 --> 00:07:29,115

and you buy yourself and what have you.

 

222

00:07:30,483 --> 00:07:31,284

I also

 

223

00:07:31,284 --> 00:07:31,851

don't think you're as

 

224

00:07:31,851 --> 00:07:34,854

open to ideas as much if you don't.

 

225

00:07:34,854 --> 00:07:36,989

So I think that's one example of,

 

226

00:07:36,989 --> 00:07:40,526

you know, of, of networking

 

227

00:07:40,526 --> 00:07:43,529

that I think really kind of pays off.

 

228

00:07:47,867 --> 00:07:48,935

it was funny when you said.

 

229

00:07:48,935 --> 00:07:51,571

Hey, let's do a show on networking.

 

230

00:07:51,571 --> 00:07:53,706

I usually start,

 

231

00:07:53,706 --> 00:07:54,674

the school, you know,

 

232

00:07:54,674 --> 00:07:56,742

my opening monologue type thing.

 

233

00:07:56,742 --> 00:07:57,710

And what we talk about

 

234

00:07:57,710 --> 00:07:59,278

when we're starting everything.

 

235

00:07:59,278 --> 00:08:01,848

And one of the things that I also say to

 

236

00:08:01,848 --> 00:08:03,349

everybody is,

 

237

00:08:03,349 --> 00:08:04,450

hey, you're going to learn a lot

 

238

00:08:04,450 --> 00:08:06,886

from the bone of people here

 

239

00:08:06,886 --> 00:08:08,621

as instructors.

 

240

00:08:08,621 --> 00:08:08,988

I said,

 

241

00:08:08,988 --> 00:08:10,256

but you really going to learn a lot

 

242

00:08:10,256 --> 00:08:11,457

from each other, too?

 

243

00:08:11,457 --> 00:08:12,558

I go,

 

244

00:08:12,558 --> 00:08:12,959

you know,

 

245

00:08:12,959 --> 00:08:14,527

the big thing about the schools

 

246

00:08:14,527 --> 00:08:16,996

is we get two days to network,

 

247

00:08:18,097 --> 00:08:19,966

and

 

248

00:08:19,966 --> 00:08:23,503

it's amazing what I've seen guys do.

 

249

00:08:23,769 --> 00:08:26,706

I was here about a month ago, and,

 

250

00:08:26,706 --> 00:08:28,941

we did a Rico class

 

251

00:08:28,941 --> 00:08:31,811

and talk about networking

 

252

00:08:31,811 --> 00:08:34,814

to guys, about

 

253

00:09:15,321 --> 00:09:18,324

Yep.

 

254

00:09:39,712 --> 00:09:42,715

Yeah.

 

255

00:09:49,789 --> 00:09:50,656

Yeah.

 

256

00:09:50,656 --> 00:09:51,624

Yes. Yeah.

 

257

00:09:51,624 --> 00:09:54,627

That's a great example.

 

258

00:10:00,032 --> 00:10:03,035

Yeah.

 

259

00:10:23,823 --> 00:10:26,826

Yep.

 

260

00:10:39,305 --> 00:10:41,307

Yep.

 

261

00:10:41,307 --> 00:10:42,308

Yep. Look at you.

 

262

00:10:42,308 --> 00:10:44,477

Using the word organic.

 

263

00:10:44,477 --> 00:10:46,879

Yeah. Yeah.

 

264

00:10:46,879 --> 00:10:48,648

Pretty good stuff.

 

265

00:10:48,648 --> 00:10:49,749

We have a friend

 

266

00:10:49,749 --> 00:10:51,984

whose daughter is a wedding photographer,

 

267

00:10:51,984 --> 00:10:52,652

and,

 

268

00:10:52,652 --> 00:10:54,120

she networks with florists

 

269

00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,389

in different venues and caterers,

 

270

00:10:56,389 --> 00:10:59,358

and it's an instant referral pipeline.

 

271

00:10:59,558 --> 00:11:02,628

So I just think that, you know,

 

272

00:11:02,728 --> 00:11:03,529

back in the old days

 

273

00:11:03,529 --> 00:11:04,830

where I was more closed off

 

274

00:11:04,830 --> 00:11:06,499

and would have you just kind of,

 

275

00:11:06,499 --> 00:11:07,400

you know, that mentality.

 

276

00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:08,501

I take care of myself,

 

277

00:11:08,501 --> 00:11:09,669

and I just do my own thing,

 

278

00:11:09,669 --> 00:11:11,704

whatever that reaching out.

 

279

00:11:11,704 --> 00:11:14,674

I just don't know if, if it's a it's

 

280

00:11:14,674 --> 00:11:17,677

the smart thing to do, especially now.

 

281

00:11:17,810 --> 00:11:19,545

And I'm going to talk about the buffet

 

282

00:11:19,545 --> 00:11:21,280

and the the wood for business magazine

 

283

00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:22,848

a little bit later on too.

 

284

00:11:22,848 --> 00:11:27,486

But then for, for free or cheap

 

285

00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:29,989

advice and mentoring,

 

286

00:11:29,989 --> 00:11:31,924

with experience owners, it,

 

287

00:11:31,924 --> 00:11:33,292

you know, network

 

288

00:11:33,292 --> 00:11:35,661

becomes like informal advisors,

 

289

00:11:35,661 --> 00:11:36,796

who've already made

 

290

00:11:36,796 --> 00:11:39,031

the mistakes that you're about to make.

 

291

00:11:39,031 --> 00:11:40,900

So I think that's

 

292

00:11:40,900 --> 00:11:42,201

I think we've seen that with,

 

293

00:11:42,201 --> 00:11:43,069

so many,

 

294

00:11:43,069 --> 00:11:44,236

you know, Chris is has been

 

295

00:11:44,236 --> 00:11:46,005

really good at,

 

296

00:11:47,206 --> 00:11:50,142

I'll tell you story about Chris is a.

 

297

00:11:50,142 --> 00:11:51,477

I don't think he mind that.

 

298

00:11:51,477 --> 00:11:53,412

Mind me sharing this.

 

299

00:11:53,412 --> 00:11:56,215

I there's a good contractor

 

300

00:11:56,215 --> 00:11:56,882

I know very well

 

301

00:11:56,882 --> 00:11:58,217

I'm friends with in Nashville.

 

302

00:11:58,217 --> 00:12:00,553

Mike Betts with all American hardwood.

 

303

00:12:00,553 --> 00:12:03,989

And, he had a pair of boxing gloves

 

304

00:12:03,989 --> 00:12:06,992

from Muhammad Ali, and,

 

305

00:12:07,827 --> 00:12:08,494

he knows it.

 

306

00:12:08,494 --> 00:12:10,362

Chris, this is, this law guy.

 

307

00:12:10,362 --> 00:12:11,030

Over the years, he's

 

308

00:12:11,030 --> 00:12:12,364

been exchanging information,

 

309

00:12:12,364 --> 00:12:12,965

you know,

 

310

00:12:12,965 --> 00:12:14,133

talking about what we do

 

311

00:12:14,133 --> 00:12:15,000

on different jobs

 

312

00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:15,735

and how you would handle

 

313

00:12:15,735 --> 00:12:17,336

a certain situation. Whatever.

 

314

00:12:17,336 --> 00:12:20,072

And, and Mike gave him the boxing gloves

 

315

00:12:20,072 --> 00:12:21,006

that were at the time,

 

316

00:12:21,006 --> 00:12:22,675

they were very, very expensive

 

317

00:12:22,675 --> 00:12:24,276

boxing gloves when he bought them.

 

318

00:12:24,276 --> 00:12:25,044

And, you know what?

 

319

00:12:25,044 --> 00:12:26,011

I know he would like these.

 

320

00:12:26,011 --> 00:12:27,947

And so that's kind of a nice,

 

321

00:12:27,947 --> 00:12:29,949

nice little thing there.

 

322

00:12:29,949 --> 00:12:32,418

But you look at Josh Hanson

 

323

00:12:32,418 --> 00:12:33,919

and, Matt Garcia,

 

324

00:12:33,919 --> 00:12:35,654

we've had both these guys on here

 

325

00:12:35,654 --> 00:12:36,489

that you see them

 

326

00:12:36,489 --> 00:12:37,490

networking back and forth

 

327

00:12:37,490 --> 00:12:38,557

with each other, network

 

328

00:12:38,557 --> 00:12:40,092

with other people.

 

329

00:12:40,092 --> 00:12:41,227

Josh did a great thing

 

330

00:12:41,227 --> 00:12:43,195

where he brought in a distributor

 

331

00:12:43,195 --> 00:12:44,730

and all the flooring contractors

 

332

00:12:44,730 --> 00:12:45,765

in the area,

 

333

00:12:45,765 --> 00:12:49,034

and, other businesses, and had a class.

 

334

00:12:49,568 --> 00:12:52,605

So, it just man,

 

335

00:12:52,605 --> 00:12:54,173

what a great, inexpensive way

 

336

00:12:54,173 --> 00:12:55,908

to get your name out there

 

337

00:12:55,908 --> 00:12:57,243

and to, to build

 

338

00:12:57,243 --> 00:12:59,078

your business in your brand.

 

339

00:12:59,078 --> 00:13:01,947

So I just think that, you know,

 

340

00:13:01,947 --> 00:13:02,815

for visibility

 

341

00:13:02,815 --> 00:13:03,649

and credibility,

 

342

00:13:03,649 --> 00:13:05,384

doing events like this is,

 

343

00:13:05,384 --> 00:13:08,754

it you think these things, like extra

 

344

00:13:09,421 --> 00:13:10,422

curricular things that,

 

345

00:13:10,422 --> 00:13:12,091

I don't have time for doing these things

 

346

00:13:12,091 --> 00:13:15,094

or what have you, but they pay off

 

347

00:13:15,561 --> 00:13:16,829

and they pay off in a really,

 

348

00:13:16,829 --> 00:13:18,164

really big way.

 

349

00:13:18,164 --> 00:13:19,632

And especially when it

 

350

00:13:19,632 --> 00:13:21,734

comes to being like a mentor.

 

351

00:13:21,734 --> 00:13:23,002

I mean, you can spend thousands

 

352

00:13:23,002 --> 00:13:24,203

in consulting fees

 

353

00:13:24,203 --> 00:13:26,238

and you could do months

 

354

00:13:26,238 --> 00:13:28,374

and years of trial and error,

 

355

00:13:28,374 --> 00:13:30,209

or reaching out to

 

356

00:13:30,209 --> 00:13:31,043

little different people.

 

357

00:13:31,043 --> 00:13:32,978

Matt Garcia had, a thing

 

358

00:13:32,978 --> 00:13:34,380

on how he pays his employees.

 

359

00:13:34,380 --> 00:13:35,414

I thought it was really super

 

360

00:13:35,414 --> 00:13:35,815

interesting.

 

361

00:13:35,815 --> 00:13:37,783

He's kind of changing the game,

 

362

00:13:37,783 --> 00:13:39,885

with some of the stuff he's doing.

 

363

00:13:39,885 --> 00:13:43,522

So, I, I just think it's

 

364

00:13:43,522 --> 00:13:47,026

so important now to, Not only that, Rob.

 

365

00:13:49,161 --> 00:13:51,197

Running a business is hard work,

 

366

00:13:51,197 --> 00:13:53,866

and not many people can relate to

 

367

00:13:53,866 --> 00:13:56,869

how hard that that is to run a business.

 

368

00:13:57,636 --> 00:13:58,804

I've said before,

 

369

00:13:58,804 --> 00:14:00,739

I don't think your friends realize

 

370

00:14:00,739 --> 00:14:01,473

how hard it is.

 

371

00:14:01,473 --> 00:14:01,874

I don't think

 

372

00:14:01,874 --> 00:14:03,275

sometimes spouses or whatever,

 

373

00:14:03,275 --> 00:14:04,710

it may not realize how hard it is.

 

374

00:14:04,710 --> 00:14:05,878

And sometimes your employees

 

375

00:14:05,878 --> 00:14:07,046

don't realize how hard it is,

 

376

00:14:07,046 --> 00:14:08,581

how much pressure is on you,

 

377

00:14:08,581 --> 00:14:09,882

you know, because you got to be the whip

 

378

00:14:09,882 --> 00:14:10,449

all the time.

 

379

00:14:10,449 --> 00:14:11,450

You got to keep everything

 

380

00:14:11,450 --> 00:14:12,918

going for everybody.

 

381

00:14:12,918 --> 00:14:13,252

You know?

 

382

00:14:13,252 --> 00:14:14,854

You got to be the coach,

 

383

00:14:14,854 --> 00:14:17,690

the mentor, the the the psychologist,

 

384

00:14:17,690 --> 00:14:18,924

the guy who gives the pep talks,

 

385

00:14:18,924 --> 00:14:20,659

the guy that puts the hammer down,

 

386

00:14:20,659 --> 00:14:21,861

the guy who keeps the schedule,

 

387

00:14:21,861 --> 00:14:23,062

the guy that pays the bills,

 

388

00:14:23,062 --> 00:14:24,530

the guy that does the bidding.

 

389

00:14:24,530 --> 00:14:25,397

In many cases.

 

390

00:14:25,397 --> 00:14:27,433

Are you where so many hats

 

391

00:14:27,433 --> 00:14:29,235

and you can get worn down the,

 

392

00:14:29,235 --> 00:14:30,536

year after year.

 

393

00:14:30,536 --> 00:14:33,272

So just for moral support, you know.

 

394

00:14:33,272 --> 00:14:33,873

Hey, man,

 

395

00:14:33,873 --> 00:14:35,341

I know what you're going through.

 

396

00:14:35,341 --> 00:14:38,277

To talk to someone that that gets it.

 

397

00:14:38,277 --> 00:14:40,746

And that's why another reason

 

398

00:14:40,746 --> 00:14:43,849

why I'm such a big fan of the PFA and,

 

399

00:14:43,849 --> 00:14:46,018

and going to the conventions

 

400

00:14:46,018 --> 00:14:47,586

and, to get around.

 

401

00:14:47,586 --> 00:14:49,255

It's good for your soul

 

402

00:14:49,255 --> 00:14:51,590

just to be around other like minded guys.

 

403

00:14:51,590 --> 00:14:53,959

It just charges your batteries.

 

404

00:14:53,959 --> 00:14:55,427

We talk about the conventions.

 

405

00:14:59,665 --> 00:15:02,668

Yeah.

 

406

00:15:10,609 --> 00:15:13,579

Yeah.

 

407

00:15:17,650 --> 00:15:18,284

Yeah.

 

408

00:15:18,284 --> 00:15:21,287

Yeah.

 

409

00:15:27,893 --> 00:15:30,896

Yeah.

 

410

00:15:33,532 --> 00:15:36,535

Yeah.

 

411

00:15:39,038 --> 00:15:40,105

Yeah.

 

412

00:15:40,105 --> 00:15:40,706

Yeah.

 

413

00:15:40,706 --> 00:15:43,676

No.

 

414

00:15:43,676 --> 00:15:46,612

this networking thing,

 

415

00:15:46,612 --> 00:15:47,413

it's amazing

 

416

00:15:47,413 --> 00:15:49,481

what it's turned into because, you know,

 

417

00:15:49,481 --> 00:15:51,350

going back to my family

 

418

00:15:51,350 --> 00:15:53,419

roots and everything.

 

419

00:15:53,419 --> 00:15:56,555

Well, we didn't talk to anybody.

 

420

00:15:57,623 --> 00:16:00,626

And if you talk to my dad and uncle, they

 

421

00:16:02,561 --> 00:16:05,564

Yep.

 

422

00:16:10,235 --> 00:16:13,238

Yep.

 

423

00:16:15,274 --> 00:16:17,376

Secret.

 

424

00:16:17,376 --> 00:16:20,379

Yeah.

 

425

00:16:33,559 --> 00:16:34,760

Yeah.

 

426

00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,763

Yeah.

 

427

00:16:40,065 --> 00:16:43,068

working well when I was a kid,

 

428

00:16:43,268 --> 00:16:46,071

just the thought of another company

 

429

00:16:46,071 --> 00:16:48,440

calling and, you know,

 

430

00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:49,908

saying, hey, can you,

 

431

00:16:49,908 --> 00:16:51,677

you know, can you help me out?

 

432

00:16:51,677 --> 00:16:54,980

But I, you know, I say that and

 

433

00:16:56,115 --> 00:16:57,883

there was a time that,

 

434

00:16:57,883 --> 00:17:00,119

one of our biggest competitors,

 

435

00:17:00,119 --> 00:17:02,821

another bowling alley guy, Sander

 

436

00:17:02,821 --> 00:17:05,557

in Massachusetts,

 

437

00:17:05,557 --> 00:17:08,560

who called my dad

 

438

00:17:08,894 --> 00:17:11,897

and said, my wife is dying of

 

439

00:17:39,758 --> 00:17:42,761

Yeah.

 

440

00:17:52,037 --> 00:17:54,940

So his wife is dying of cancer and is.

 

441

00:17:54,940 --> 00:17:57,543

And your dad put you on one of his jobs.

 

442

00:18:01,013 --> 00:18:01,713

There.

 

443

00:18:01,713 --> 00:18:02,214

Your dad.

 

444

00:18:02,214 --> 00:18:05,217

Your dad pulled no punches, man.

 

445

00:18:08,120 --> 00:18:08,954

Yeah.

 

446

00:18:08,954 --> 00:18:10,522

He put me in another guy

 

447

00:18:10,522 --> 00:18:11,723

on that guy's crew.

 

448

00:18:11,723 --> 00:18:13,125

And, you know, we kind of,

 

449

00:18:13,125 --> 00:18:15,160

we were kind of

 

450

00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,163

Well,

 

451

00:18:24,536 --> 00:18:27,539

Yeah.

 

452

00:18:29,108 --> 00:18:30,676

Yeah.

 

453

00:18:30,676 --> 00:18:33,679

Good.

 

454

00:18:51,797 --> 00:18:54,800

Yeah.

 

455

00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,609

Wow.

 

456

00:19:03,609 --> 00:19:05,477

Yeah, yeah, I've seen it before.

 

457

00:19:05,477 --> 00:19:07,146

When I was, working to Lawrence

 

458

00:19:07,146 --> 00:19:07,913

Livermore lab, half

 

459

00:19:07,913 --> 00:19:10,582

our crew could not get in

 

460

00:19:10,582 --> 00:19:12,284

the government job.

 

461

00:19:12,284 --> 00:19:13,719

He used to work with the guys

 

462

00:19:13,719 --> 00:19:14,520

every day, and, you know.

 

463

00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:15,687

Yeah, we went to this new job

 

464

00:19:15,687 --> 00:19:16,255

and everything else

 

465

00:19:16,255 --> 00:19:17,523

suddenly like, no, I can't.

 

466

00:19:17,523 --> 00:19:18,357

I can't work here.

 

467

00:19:18,357 --> 00:19:19,558

And we're still in psych,

 

468

00:19:19,558 --> 00:19:21,026

and you couldn't work here.

 

469

00:19:21,026 --> 00:19:24,029

That kind of crowd was that working with?

 

470

00:19:26,899 --> 00:19:27,799

I've read,

 

471

00:19:27,799 --> 00:19:29,535

that for small businesses

 

472

00:19:29,535 --> 00:19:31,803

that that do under $5 million

 

473

00:19:31,803 --> 00:19:33,805

consistent networking beats

 

474

00:19:33,805 --> 00:19:36,808

almost any paid advertising channel in

 

475

00:19:36,808 --> 00:19:40,212

both ROI and long term stability.

 

476

00:19:41,146 --> 00:19:43,448

So they say treat relationships

 

477

00:19:43,448 --> 00:19:44,750

as your most valuable asset

 

478

00:19:44,750 --> 00:19:47,152

because they usually are. I think that is

 

479

00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:49,922

pretty powerful stuff

 

480

00:19:49,922 --> 00:19:51,356

and tells you how important it is

 

481

00:19:51,356 --> 00:19:53,158

to actually spend time,

 

482

00:19:53,158 --> 00:19:55,494

doing this kind of stuff, you know,

 

483

00:19:55,494 --> 00:19:56,228

and there's

 

484

00:19:56,228 --> 00:19:57,429

there's a couple different types

 

485

00:19:57,429 --> 00:19:59,998

of networking, there's online networking,

 

486

00:19:59,998 --> 00:20:01,967

and then there's,

 

487

00:20:01,967 --> 00:20:03,902

there's in-person networking,

 

488

00:20:03,902 --> 00:20:05,103

and there's,

 

489

00:20:05,103 --> 00:20:05,537

you know,

 

490

00:20:05,537 --> 00:20:06,738

certainly advantages

 

491

00:20:06,738 --> 00:20:09,074

and disadvantages to both.

 

492

00:20:09,074 --> 00:20:12,077

And, so I can remember that as well.

 

493

00:20:12,544 --> 00:20:15,547

I think that,

 

494

00:20:17,282 --> 00:20:20,285

Yeah.

 

495

00:20:23,055 --> 00:20:26,058

Yeah.

 

496

00:20:26,892 --> 00:20:28,093

a couple of distributors.

 

497

00:20:28,093 --> 00:20:31,396

So he he made no bones about it.

 

498

00:20:31,430 --> 00:20:32,998

I mean, there was like, you know, it was

 

499

00:20:32,998 --> 00:20:34,366

there's plenty for everybody

 

500

00:20:34,366 --> 00:20:36,001

kind of an attitude.

 

501

00:20:36,001 --> 00:20:38,337

And I just did a school like that

 

502

00:20:38,337 --> 00:20:39,705

last week.

 

503

00:20:39,705 --> 00:20:42,708

I did a, two day school in Pittsburgh,

 

504

00:20:43,242 --> 00:20:45,143

and there was a sport guy

 

505

00:20:45,143 --> 00:20:46,511

that I used to work with,

 

506

00:20:46,511 --> 00:20:48,680

when I was doing sport rec class ski.

 

507

00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,683

And Rudy Kawasaki, his dad, would floor

 

508

00:20:51,683 --> 00:20:54,686

designs just outside of Pittsburgh.

 

509

00:20:54,886 --> 00:20:57,589

And what, beautiful training center

 

510

00:20:57,589 --> 00:20:59,658

he put in his shop Wow.

 

511

00:21:03,061 --> 00:21:05,797

You know, he's, pretty good size outfit,

 

512

00:21:05,797 --> 00:21:09,601

but, man, I mean, his training center is

 

513

00:21:09,601 --> 00:21:10,669

probably the same size

 

514

00:21:10,669 --> 00:21:11,770

as our training center

 

515

00:21:11,770 --> 00:21:14,773

and or our old training center in

 

516

00:21:15,173 --> 00:21:18,076

Yeah.

 

517

00:21:18,076 --> 00:21:20,112

And we he did the same thing.

 

518

00:21:20,112 --> 00:21:23,715

He had, he had a distributor.

 

519

00:21:24,082 --> 00:21:26,418

He had, a couple of different companies

 

520

00:21:26,418 --> 00:21:27,319

there.

 

521

00:21:27,319 --> 00:21:30,322

And, you know, it was just a huge,

 

522

00:21:30,656 --> 00:21:33,659

networking event Nice.

 

523

00:21:34,559 --> 00:21:35,327

That says a lot.

 

524

00:21:35,327 --> 00:21:36,795

The only other person I've ever known

 

525

00:21:36,795 --> 00:21:39,431

do that is, is, John

 

526

00:21:39,431 --> 00:21:40,532

with,

 

527

00:21:40,532 --> 00:21:42,934

the flooring contractor

 

528

00:21:42,934 --> 00:21:44,069

down there in Chattanooga.

 

529

00:21:44,069 --> 00:21:45,937

John. Prater.

 

530

00:21:45,937 --> 00:21:47,139

Previous floors. Yeah.

 

531

00:21:47,139 --> 00:21:48,740

He brings in all his competitors.

 

532

00:21:48,740 --> 00:21:49,908

And just as here's

 

533

00:21:49,908 --> 00:21:51,209

guy, here's what we're doing.

 

534

00:21:51,209 --> 00:21:52,711

Here's how we do it.

 

535

00:21:52,711 --> 00:21:53,979

Welcome.

 

536

00:21:53,979 --> 00:21:55,113

Any input you guys want,

 

537

00:21:55,113 --> 00:21:57,582

but just want to see what we're doing.

 

538

00:21:57,582 --> 00:21:59,451

It says a lot about

 

539

00:21:59,451 --> 00:22:00,786

the character and confidence

 

540

00:22:01,753 --> 00:22:02,954

and quality of a person

 

541

00:22:02,954 --> 00:22:03,922

that that does that.

 

542

00:22:03,922 --> 00:22:06,925

So hats off to those those guys.

 

543

00:22:20,072 --> 00:22:23,075

Well.

 

544

00:22:37,489 --> 00:22:37,823

Yeah.

 

545

00:22:37,823 --> 00:22:39,257

That's all about.

 

546

00:22:39,257 --> 00:22:40,826

Yeah,

 

547

00:22:40,826 --> 00:22:41,593

yeah.

 

548

00:22:41,593 --> 00:22:44,596

The team right?

 

549

00:22:44,763 --> 00:22:47,766

 

 

550

00:22:49,368 --> 00:22:50,602

Well look, look.

 

551

00:22:50,602 --> 00:22:52,371

What happens to tends to happen

 

552

00:22:52,371 --> 00:22:53,605

to people like that.

 

553

00:22:53,605 --> 00:22:55,540

You know where they're not small

 

554

00:22:55,540 --> 00:22:56,541

and they're not closed off

 

555

00:22:56,541 --> 00:22:57,476

and what have you,

 

556

00:22:57,476 --> 00:22:59,711

they just seem to grow exponentially

 

557

00:22:59,711 --> 00:23:00,746

with these relationships.

 

558

00:23:00,746 --> 00:23:02,447

And part of the reason I believe,

 

559

00:23:02,447 --> 00:23:05,317

is why, they say that 80%

 

560

00:23:05,317 --> 00:23:06,251

of your deepest,

 

561

00:23:06,251 --> 00:23:07,185

most profitable

 

562

00:23:07,185 --> 00:23:08,920

relationships still come from face

 

563

00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:10,021

to face

 

564

00:23:10,021 --> 00:23:12,124

is as much as online is still,

 

565

00:23:12,124 --> 00:23:14,493

you know, a big part of people's lives.

 

566

00:23:14,493 --> 00:23:16,461

There's something about being in a room

 

567

00:23:16,461 --> 00:23:19,464

with somebody reading body language,

 

568

00:23:19,631 --> 00:23:20,265

sitting there

 

569

00:23:20,265 --> 00:23:22,701

having having a drink with somebody

 

570

00:23:22,701 --> 00:23:23,935

and just

 

571

00:23:23,935 --> 00:23:25,537

sharing that type of communication

 

572

00:23:25,537 --> 00:23:26,671

is still more powerful

 

573

00:23:26,671 --> 00:23:27,773

than anything that's out there.

 

574

00:23:28,907 --> 00:23:30,976

So I talked about the

 

575

00:23:30,976 --> 00:23:33,979

buffet, Give Wood for business magazine

 

576

00:23:33,979 --> 00:23:35,013

a big nod to,

 

577

00:23:35,013 --> 00:23:38,116

I mean, Kim and him do great articles.

 

578

00:23:39,017 --> 00:23:40,352

So sharing that way,

 

579

00:23:40,352 --> 00:23:40,585

you know,

 

580

00:23:40,585 --> 00:23:42,020

reaching out, saying, look, I got,

 

581

00:23:42,020 --> 00:23:43,588

I'm doing a pretty cool project.

 

582

00:23:43,588 --> 00:23:44,723

I think they would embrace that.

 

583

00:23:44,723 --> 00:23:46,291

I actually, I know that they would.

 

584

00:23:46,291 --> 00:23:48,360

I've seen him do it so many times.

 

585

00:23:48,360 --> 00:23:51,997

Is a great way of networking.

 

586

00:23:51,997 --> 00:23:52,631

And also,

 

587

00:23:52,631 --> 00:23:55,634

the wood for business magazine came out

 

588

00:23:56,401 --> 00:23:57,335

and, the

 

589

00:23:57,335 --> 00:24:00,439

2026, for Flooring Industry Guide.

 

590

00:24:01,239 --> 00:24:02,541

And there's some

 

591

00:24:02,541 --> 00:24:04,743

interesting information out here,

 

592

00:24:04,743 --> 00:24:05,510

and I'll see if I can find

 

593

00:24:05,510 --> 00:24:07,179

a few of them here.

 

594

00:24:07,179 --> 00:24:10,615

40 plus new exhibitors, 180

 

595

00:24:10,615 --> 00:24:11,550

returning exhibitors.

 

596

00:24:11,550 --> 00:24:14,386

So I just, You know.

 

597

00:24:14,386 --> 00:24:15,687

60% of the people attending

 

598

00:24:15,687 --> 00:24:17,189

are the decision makers at the job,

 

599

00:24:17,189 --> 00:24:17,889

but you

 

600

00:24:17,889 --> 00:24:20,025

you think it's important to go to a,

 

601

00:24:20,025 --> 00:24:21,626

an event like that, I think is

 

602

00:24:21,626 --> 00:24:22,994

wildly important.

 

603

00:24:27,866 --> 00:24:29,000

I know you don't get a go,

 

604

00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,335

and I,

 

605

00:24:30,335 --> 00:24:31,603

webinars, all the webinars,

 

606

00:24:31,603 --> 00:24:33,405

they do the process.

 

607

00:24:33,405 --> 00:24:35,040

No. Much.

 

608

00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:38,043

Yeah.

 

609

00:24:39,244 --> 00:24:42,247

Yeah.

 

610

00:24:42,914 --> 00:24:45,917

You're going.

 

611

00:24:46,117 --> 00:24:47,219

Really?

 

612

00:24:47,219 --> 00:24:50,222

Why?

 

613

00:24:50,388 --> 00:24:51,323

I mean.

 

614

00:24:51,323 --> 00:24:53,792

I see why I've always seen why.

 

615

00:24:53,792 --> 00:24:54,292

But why?

 

616

00:24:54,292 --> 00:24:55,060

This year,

 

617

00:24:55,060 --> 00:24:58,063

they finally did the right thing.

 

618

00:25:12,644 --> 00:25:13,211

Wow.

 

619

00:25:13,211 --> 00:25:16,214

Wow.

 

620

00:25:18,850 --> 00:25:19,818

Well,

 

621

00:25:19,818 --> 00:25:21,386

I'm thrilled that you're going to go.

 

622

00:25:21,386 --> 00:25:23,522

Yeah.

 

623

00:25:23,522 --> 00:25:24,890

So. Yeah.

 

624

00:25:24,890 --> 00:25:26,291

This is, is as Eileen

 

625

00:25:26,291 --> 00:25:29,294

is, has been to you.

 

626

00:25:31,596 --> 00:25:31,863

Yeah.

 

627

00:25:31,863 --> 00:25:34,533

Yeah.

 

628

00:25:34,533 --> 00:25:37,502

Wow.

 

629

00:25:37,802 --> 00:25:38,403

Yeah.

 

630

00:25:38,403 --> 00:25:40,171

Oh that's good.

 

631

00:25:40,171 --> 00:25:43,174

So.

 

632

00:25:46,878 --> 00:25:47,612

See it's

 

633

00:25:47,612 --> 00:25:48,947

a networking between her

 

634

00:25:48,947 --> 00:25:51,016

and Eileen or her and Pauline.

 

635

00:25:51,016 --> 00:25:54,119

One of those little angel leans

 

636

00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,122

that the, the lean sisters.

 

637

00:25:57,122 --> 00:25:59,958

Eileen and Pauline.

 

638

00:25:59,958 --> 00:26:03,461

So anyhow, I just, I thought it'd be,

 

639

00:26:04,262 --> 00:26:06,464

something important to talk about.

 

640

00:26:06,464 --> 00:26:09,334

I, it's something in the in the past

 

641

00:26:09,334 --> 00:26:10,168

that we used to,

 

642

00:26:10,168 --> 00:26:11,436

you know, kind of like I say,

 

643

00:26:11,436 --> 00:26:12,704

turn our nose up

 

644

00:26:12,704 --> 00:26:14,940

or or think we're too busy to do it,

 

645

00:26:14,940 --> 00:26:16,708

but, working this into your schedule,

 

646

00:26:16,708 --> 00:26:18,176

and it might be just some of your job

 

647

00:26:18,176 --> 00:26:21,179

that's dedicated to to this,

 

648

00:26:21,179 --> 00:26:22,347

Carter floors

 

649

00:26:22,347 --> 00:26:24,883

hardwood up in, up in Michigan.

 

650

00:26:24,883 --> 00:26:26,618

Also does a great job with networking.

 

651

00:26:26,618 --> 00:26:27,452

And there's another thing

 

652

00:26:27,452 --> 00:26:28,987

he does every year

 

653

00:26:28,987 --> 00:26:30,555

that, is very impressive.

 

654

00:26:30,555 --> 00:26:32,357

He gives back to this cancer thing.

 

655

00:26:33,458 --> 00:26:34,893

I mean, I'm.

 

656

00:26:34,893 --> 00:26:35,660

Apologizing for

 

657

00:26:35,660 --> 00:26:36,661

exactly what it was for,

 

658

00:26:36,661 --> 00:26:39,664

but I seen him wearing a pink outfit,

 

659

00:26:39,864 --> 00:26:42,434

and I assume that's not his daily wear.

 

660

00:26:42,434 --> 00:26:45,470

So, I know that that that's that's

 

661

00:26:45,570 --> 00:26:47,005

something they give back every year

 

662

00:26:47,005 --> 00:26:47,372

for that.

 

663

00:26:47,372 --> 00:26:49,174

Or they, they do like communities.

 

664

00:26:49,174 --> 00:26:51,309

Community stuff is important.

 

665

00:26:51,309 --> 00:26:52,811

You get your name out there.

 

666

00:26:52,811 --> 00:26:53,912

You get regularly.

 

667

00:26:53,912 --> 00:26:55,246

I don't that's not why they do that,

 

668

00:26:55,246 --> 00:26:59,384

but I it I believe in karma and,

 

669

00:26:59,384 --> 00:27:01,019

and, and,

 

670

00:27:01,019 --> 00:27:02,120

I think that comes back to you

 

671

00:27:02,120 --> 00:27:04,122

tenfold when you do stuff like that.

 

672

00:27:04,122 --> 00:27:04,356

You know

 

673

00:27:04,356 --> 00:27:05,824

the other thing about networking.

 

674

00:27:05,824 --> 00:27:06,558

I mean, you know,

 

675

00:27:06,558 --> 00:27:07,826

we're talking about networking,

 

676

00:27:07,826 --> 00:27:10,362

but networking is just another way

 

677

00:27:10,362 --> 00:27:12,030

to make more money

 

678

00:27:12,030 --> 00:27:14,265

without having to do more square footage.

 

679

00:27:15,967 --> 00:27:17,636

That that's what it comes down to.

 

680

00:27:17,636 --> 00:27:18,837

We at our

 

681

00:27:18,837 --> 00:27:19,638

a convention,

 

682

00:27:19,638 --> 00:27:20,772

they wanted me to do

 

683

00:27:20,772 --> 00:27:25,010

a, a thing on, machines

 

684

00:27:25,010 --> 00:27:28,313

and upkeep of the machines and things

 

685

00:27:28,313 --> 00:27:28,813

like that.

 

686

00:27:28,813 --> 00:27:29,948

So, you know,

 

687

00:27:29,948 --> 00:27:30,682

we had the boner,

 

688

00:27:30,682 --> 00:27:32,517

machine guys in there,

 

689

00:27:32,517 --> 00:27:35,053

Bobby and Corinne, and they're just.

 

690

00:27:35,053 --> 00:27:36,588

They're just amazing.

 

691

00:27:36,588 --> 00:27:39,124

And I, you know, she's.

 

692

00:27:39,124 --> 00:27:41,326

I think at one of the seminars

 

693

00:27:41,326 --> 00:27:41,793

that we did,

 

694

00:27:41,793 --> 00:27:42,661

we probably had

 

695

00:27:42,661 --> 00:27:45,296

close to 300 people there.

 

696

00:27:45,296 --> 00:27:47,132

And I was kind of asking Corinne

 

697

00:27:47,132 --> 00:27:47,966

some different things

 

698

00:27:47,966 --> 00:27:50,869

about the power scrubber.

 

699

00:27:50,869 --> 00:27:53,872

And then, a guy asked a question

 

700

00:27:54,806 --> 00:27:56,141

and then it took off.

 

701

00:27:56,141 --> 00:28:00,011

It was crazy because then we started

 

702

00:28:00,311 --> 00:28:03,314

there was probably 6 or 7 guys

 

703

00:28:03,648 --> 00:28:05,216

who were saying

 

704

00:28:05,216 --> 00:28:07,686

how they used the power scrubber.

 

705

00:28:07,686 --> 00:28:09,988

And then I started hearing guys saying,

 

706

00:28:09,988 --> 00:28:12,323

geez, I never thought about Yeah.

 

707

00:28:13,458 --> 00:28:15,393

doing that with the power scrubber.

 

708

00:28:15,393 --> 00:28:16,528

Or really,

 

709

00:28:16,528 --> 00:28:17,996

you did that with a power scrubber

 

710

00:28:17,996 --> 00:28:18,530

design.

 

711

00:28:18,530 --> 00:28:21,533

Never thought about going that and,

 

712

00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,401

it was just like I said, it was just

 

713

00:28:23,401 --> 00:28:25,303

guys just finding out

 

714

00:28:25,303 --> 00:28:26,971

how to what other guys are doing.

 

715

00:28:26,971 --> 00:28:27,572

They all want

 

716

00:28:27,572 --> 00:28:29,174

the same piece of equipment,

 

717

00:28:29,174 --> 00:28:31,743

but what they were doing to,

 

718

00:28:31,743 --> 00:28:33,044

you know, just

 

719

00:28:33,044 --> 00:28:34,713

enhance it and make more money with it.

 

720

00:28:34,713 --> 00:28:38,917

So networking is just I mean, you can't

 

721

00:28:39,584 --> 00:28:42,587

you can't buy that kind of stuff.

 

722

00:28:44,522 --> 00:28:46,524

Okay.

 

723

00:28:46,524 --> 00:28:48,760

so, like, this week,

 

724

00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:50,528

725

00:28:50,528 --> 00:28:51,429

at a couple of schools

 

726

00:28:51,429 --> 00:28:52,897

going up here in Toronto.

 

727

00:28:52,897 --> 00:28:54,199

So we got a two day school

 

728

00:28:54,199 --> 00:28:55,600

this week in Toronto.

 

729

00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:56,968

If you're around,

 

730

00:28:56,968 --> 00:28:58,737

731

00:28:58,737 --> 00:29:00,305

we're going to be doing a Rico class.

 

732

00:29:00,305 --> 00:29:01,773

Definitely stop in.

 

733

00:29:01,773 --> 00:29:04,275

And then on Friday, I'll be doing,

 

734

00:29:04,275 --> 00:29:05,744

sport class.

 

735

00:29:05,744 --> 00:29:07,078

So we had a lot

 

736

00:29:07,078 --> 00:29:08,480

going on up here in Toronto.

 

737

00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,482

And then the week

 

738

00:29:10,482 --> 00:29:13,818

739

00:29:13,818 --> 00:29:15,687

740

00:29:15,687 --> 00:29:17,088

741

00:29:17,088 --> 00:29:20,859

742

00:29:20,859 --> 00:29:21,659

00:29:21,659 --> 00:29:24,095

So if anybody wants to stop in,

 

744

00:29:24,095 --> 00:29:26,164

don't worry about it. Come on by.

 

745

00:29:26,164 --> 00:29:27,332

If you're listening

 

746

00:29:27,332 --> 00:29:29,167

and you want to see the chrome again

 

747

00:29:29,167 --> 00:29:30,301

or play with it

 

748

00:29:30,301 --> 00:29:33,238

and, meet the new team there.

 

749

00:29:33,238 --> 00:29:34,072

Great kid.

 

750

00:29:34,072 --> 00:29:36,641

Going to love him. A lot of energy.

 

751

00:29:36,641 --> 00:29:37,976

Funny kid.

 

752

00:29:37,976 --> 00:29:38,877

I don't know if you've ever.

 

753

00:29:38,877 --> 00:29:39,711

Have you talked to

 

754

00:29:40,678 --> 00:29:41,112

No.

 

755

00:29:41,112 --> 00:29:43,548

No. A

 

756

00:29:43,548 --> 00:29:46,551

good.

 

757

00:29:47,418 --> 00:29:50,421

What's his name Dante.

 

758

00:29:50,655 --> 00:29:51,956

Dante.

 

759

00:29:51,956 --> 00:29:54,959

We got last name.

 

760

00:29:55,426 --> 00:29:57,395

Dirty Dante currently is in the Mafia.

 

761

00:29:57,395 --> 00:30:00,398

 

 

762

00:30:03,134 --> 00:30:05,503

There you go.

 

763

00:30:05,503 --> 00:30:07,438

I go, is your dad in the mob?

 

764

00:30:07,438 --> 00:30:08,773

And he's

 

765

00:30:08,773 --> 00:30:09,474

he's like, no,

 

766

00:30:09,474 --> 00:30:12,510

I No, no, but don't joke about it.

 

767

00:30:13,778 --> 00:30:16,781

Yeah.

 

768

00:30:18,349 --> 00:30:21,352

Yeah.

 

769

00:30:22,954 --> 00:30:23,521

Yeah.

 

770

00:30:23,521 --> 00:30:24,989

Yeah. Yeah.

 

771

00:30:24,989 --> 00:30:27,992

Funny boy.

 

772

00:30:29,527 --> 00:30:30,495

if you're around,

 

773

00:30:30,495 --> 00:30:31,596

you want to do some network

 

774

00:30:31,596 --> 00:30:32,864

and see the Chrome.

 

775

00:30:32,864 --> 00:30:33,865

We're going to be doing a one day

 

776

00:30:33,865 --> 00:30:36,868

Chrome school in Jersey that

 

777

00:30:36,935 --> 00:30:38,903

starting in December

 

778

00:30:38,903 --> 00:30:40,605

we got three schools coming up.

 

779

00:30:40,605 --> 00:30:41,906

First week in December

 

780

00:30:41,906 --> 00:30:43,374

we're doing a Christmas school

 

781

00:30:43,374 --> 00:30:46,377

in, our Charlotte

 

782

00:30:46,544 --> 00:30:49,547

training center,

 

783

00:31:00,291 --> 00:31:01,893

This is interesting.

 

784

00:31:01,893 --> 00:31:03,161

This has never been done before.

 

785

00:31:03,161 --> 00:31:04,295

I don't think

 

786

00:31:04,295 --> 00:31:07,498

it's, all all women school.

 

787

00:31:08,032 --> 00:31:09,534

I think you take these women

 

788

00:31:09,534 --> 00:31:10,935

in allies of women. Right?

 

789

00:31:13,471 --> 00:31:14,405

Well, who wouldn't be in

 

790

00:31:14,405 --> 00:31:17,408

ally of women?

 

791

00:31:22,180 --> 00:31:25,183

I'll be darn.

 

792

00:31:34,893 --> 00:31:37,862

Yeah.

 

793

00:31:38,029 --> 00:31:39,597

Yeah, yeah.

 

794

00:31:39,597 --> 00:31:41,966

Yep.

 

795

00:31:41,966 --> 00:31:42,834

I.

 

796

00:31:42,834 --> 00:31:45,603

we have so many women that

 

797

00:31:45,603 --> 00:31:46,938

that come to schools.

 

798

00:31:46,938 --> 00:31:47,772

And, you know,

 

799

00:31:47,772 --> 00:31:48,573

I got to kind of

 

800

00:31:48,573 --> 00:31:50,141

drag them up on the panel.

 

801

00:31:50,141 --> 00:31:51,509

And, you know,

 

802

00:31:51,509 --> 00:31:53,144

I was talking to Pauline about it one day

 

803

00:31:53,144 --> 00:31:55,680

and she's like, that's terrible.

 

804

00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,882

You know, she goes, I wouldn't want to

 

805

00:31:57,882 --> 00:31:59,284

I wouldn't want to do that.

 

806

00:31:59,284 --> 00:31:59,851

I wouldn't

 

807

00:31:59,851 --> 00:32:00,285

want you

 

808

00:32:00,285 --> 00:32:01,219

yanking me up there

 

809

00:32:01,219 --> 00:32:02,120

and making me do stuff

 

810

00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,656

in front of a bunch of guys, you know?

 

811

00:32:04,656 --> 00:32:05,924

And I was like, yeah, okay.

 

812

00:32:05,924 --> 00:32:08,626

And when she came to the Christmas school

 

813

00:32:08,626 --> 00:32:09,961

last year, I.

 

814

00:32:09,961 --> 00:32:12,730

Yeah, I yanked her up on the panel.

 

815

00:32:12,730 --> 00:32:15,733

I was doing the power drive,

 

816

00:32:48,499 --> 00:32:49,033

Yeah.

 

817

00:32:49,033 --> 00:32:49,767

No. Yeah.

 

818

00:32:49,767 --> 00:32:52,603

She's the best. Pauline is awesome. Yeah.

 

819

00:32:54,272 --> 00:32:55,807

No, she was really.

 

820

00:32:55,807 --> 00:32:58,309

She thought this was a great idea.

 

821

00:32:58,309 --> 00:33:01,312

Yeah.

 

822

00:33:08,886 --> 00:33:09,153

guys.

 

823

00:33:09,153 --> 00:33:12,390

But she said, this could definitely be,

 

824

00:33:12,390 --> 00:33:14,492

she thinks this is a great thing,

 

825

00:33:14,492 --> 00:33:16,661

so I'm psyched

 

826

00:33:16,661 --> 00:33:19,697

But also it's kind of a nice networking

 

827

00:33:19,697 --> 00:33:20,698

bonding thing for them.

 

828

00:33:20,698 --> 00:33:22,266

But I'll tell you what,

 

829

00:33:22,266 --> 00:33:23,134

there's some women out there

 

830

00:33:23,134 --> 00:33:24,268

that we both know

 

831

00:33:24,268 --> 00:33:25,903

that run circles around a lot of guys.

 

832

00:33:25,903 --> 00:33:27,605

They're great crafts.

 

833

00:33:27,605 --> 00:33:30,608

People grasp, people grasp.

 

834

00:33:32,010 --> 00:33:32,477

Yeah.

 

835

00:33:32,477 --> 00:33:34,112

See that? Yeah.

 

836

00:33:34,112 --> 00:33:34,946

Craftsman.

 

837

00:33:34,946 --> 00:33:35,980

I can't be a craftsman.

 

838

00:33:35,980 --> 00:33:37,815

Craftspeople,

 

839

00:33:37,815 --> 00:33:39,517

whatever.

 

840

00:33:39,517 --> 00:33:42,520

But they're they're great.

 

841

00:33:43,955 --> 00:33:45,456

Probably not too,

 

842

00:33:45,456 --> 00:33:46,991

there's the sentiment is they're, they're

 

843

00:33:46,991 --> 00:33:48,593

they're great at what they do.

 

844

00:33:48,593 --> 00:33:50,061

And there's some,

 

845

00:33:50,061 --> 00:33:51,095

I mean, some really,

 

846

00:33:51,095 --> 00:33:52,263

really outstanding ones.

 

847

00:33:52,263 --> 00:33:53,931

They shouldn't surprise anybody.

 

848

00:33:53,931 --> 00:33:55,767

But so I'm, I'm,

 

849

00:33:55,767 --> 00:33:57,435

I'm really excited about that class.

 

850

00:33:57,435 --> 00:33:58,436

That should be a good class.

 

851

00:33:58,436 --> 00:34:00,271

And these classes in December,

 

852

00:34:00,271 --> 00:34:01,172

if I'm not mistaken,

 

853

00:34:01,172 --> 00:34:04,008

the cost to get in Rob is.

 

854

00:34:04,008 --> 00:34:07,578

cost to get in is a toy,

 

855

00:34:08,546 --> 00:34:10,548

a toy or a cash donation.

 

856

00:34:10,548 --> 00:34:12,817

And we'll go out and buy the toys.

 

857

00:34:12,817 --> 00:34:15,286

You know, for the last five years,

 

858

00:34:15,286 --> 00:34:16,487

we've been doing these Christmas calls.

 

859

00:34:16,487 --> 00:34:17,155

I can't believe it's

 

860

00:34:17,155 --> 00:34:19,023

been 5 or 6 years now.

 

861

00:34:19,023 --> 00:34:21,492

We got together with your buddy.

 

862

00:34:21,492 --> 00:34:23,828

You know, our buddy Frank Capilano,

 

863

00:34:23,828 --> 00:34:25,496

who does a lot for the toys

 

864

00:34:25,496 --> 00:34:26,864

for tots, and,

 

865

00:34:26,864 --> 00:34:28,266

you know, one day

 

866

00:34:28,266 --> 00:34:29,200

I was talking to Frank,

 

867

00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:29,967

and I said,

 

868

00:34:29,967 --> 00:34:30,401

you know,

 

869

00:34:30,401 --> 00:34:31,335

we're doing Christmas

 

870

00:34:31,335 --> 00:34:33,304

goals, and I think this would be a great.

 

871

00:34:33,304 --> 00:34:36,140

Rather than charging for the school,

 

872

00:34:36,140 --> 00:34:37,875

you know, give us a cash donation

 

873

00:34:37,875 --> 00:34:39,177

or bring a toy.

 

874

00:34:39,177 --> 00:34:40,311

And I've said it

 

875

00:34:40,311 --> 00:34:42,713

a thousand times on the show.

 

876

00:34:42,713 --> 00:34:45,216

It makes my Christmas.

 

877

00:34:45,216 --> 00:34:47,819

It really does to see

 

878

00:34:47,819 --> 00:34:51,022

just, you know, big, rough, tough floor

 

879

00:34:51,022 --> 00:34:54,325

guys who just kill it all year long

 

880

00:34:54,992 --> 00:34:55,927

and then come to these

 

881

00:34:55,927 --> 00:34:57,361

Christmas schools and,

 

882

00:34:57,361 --> 00:34:58,863

you know, we start and because I go,

 

883

00:34:58,863 --> 00:35:00,498

you know, floor guys never really get a

 

884

00:35:02,333 --> 00:35:04,502

Yeah.

 

885

00:35:04,502 --> 00:35:06,204

let's, let's do a school,

 

886

00:35:06,204 --> 00:35:09,407

but also have some fun and some cheer

 

887

00:35:09,407 --> 00:35:10,575

and things like that.

 

888

00:35:10,575 --> 00:35:11,576

And,

 

889

00:35:11,576 --> 00:35:12,777

but I'll tell you what, Wayne,

 

890

00:35:12,777 --> 00:35:15,513

that it makes my Christmas season.

 

891

00:35:15,513 --> 00:35:18,483

Just seeing these big, rough, tough guys

 

892

00:35:18,649 --> 00:35:21,152

walking in with three foot Barbie dolls

 

893

00:35:21,152 --> 00:35:22,353

and stuff like that

 

894

00:35:22,353 --> 00:35:23,855

with just the biggest

 

895

00:35:23,855 --> 00:35:25,923

smile on their face.

 

896

00:35:25,923 --> 00:35:28,526

And, you know, guys just

 

897

00:35:28,526 --> 00:35:30,661

just bringing in tons of stuff

 

898

00:35:30,661 --> 00:35:32,130

and you always get the same thing.

 

899

00:35:32,130 --> 00:35:33,197

Hey, do we not,

 

900

00:35:33,197 --> 00:35:34,365

you know, is there enough?

 

901

00:35:34,365 --> 00:35:35,433

We'll get more.

 

902

00:35:35,433 --> 00:35:37,168

We'll bring more tomorrow.

 

903

00:35:37,168 --> 00:35:37,568

You know,

 

904

00:35:37,568 --> 00:35:38,302

they just can't

 

905

00:35:38,302 --> 00:35:41,205

wait to, do it to the other.

 

906

00:35:41,205 --> 00:35:43,541

And then on the third week,

 

907

00:35:43,541 --> 00:35:46,244

we will be doing our that.

 

908

00:35:46,244 --> 00:35:47,979

That will be my last one.

 

909

00:35:47,979 --> 00:35:49,547

And that will be a third week

 

910

00:35:49,547 --> 00:35:51,249

in new Jersey.

 

911

00:35:51,249 --> 00:35:51,849

Same thing.

 

912

00:35:51,849 --> 00:35:53,751

That's where it all started in Jersey.

 

913

00:35:53,751 --> 00:35:55,653

So we always going to do one there.

 

914

00:35:55,653 --> 00:35:58,022

And it's same thing. Toys for tots.

 

915

00:35:58,022 --> 00:36:01,459

Eileen can you come on and

 

916

00:36:01,459 --> 00:36:03,327

just talk about the

 

917

00:36:04,395 --> 00:36:05,263

school

 

918

00:36:05,263 --> 00:36:08,266

in Colorado at the

 

919

00:36:08,566 --> 00:36:10,801

bone facility, dates and

 

920

00:36:10,801 --> 00:36:12,537

and what they're

 

921

00:36:12,537 --> 00:36:13,337

I don't think they're doing

 

922

00:36:13,337 --> 00:36:14,005

toys for tots.

 

923

00:36:14,005 --> 00:36:15,273

I think they're doing a food bank

 

924

00:36:15,273 --> 00:36:18,276

or something.

 

925

00:37:00,918 --> 00:37:02,086

Awesome.

 

926

00:37:02,086 --> 00:37:03,154

And what date is,

 

927

00:37:03,154 --> 00:37:06,123

What what week is that?

 

928

00:37:12,663 --> 00:37:13,731

Okay.

 

929

00:37:13,731 --> 00:37:14,632

Thank you.

 

930

00:37:14,632 --> 00:37:17,168

So I think that's the third week, right?

 

931

00:37:17,168 --> 00:37:20,171

Yeah, that's the third

 

932

00:37:22,340 --> 00:37:24,141

Oh.

 

933

00:37:24,141 --> 00:37:27,144

Have, you know, I, I,

 

934

00:37:28,312 --> 00:37:29,914

I donated to, to the,

 

935

00:37:29,914 --> 00:37:32,917

Denver Food Bank yesterday.

 

936

00:37:33,384 --> 00:37:36,287

Yeah.

 

937

00:37:36,287 --> 00:37:37,922

I think I but.

 

938

00:37:37,922 --> 00:37:41,659

I

 

939

00:37:42,994 --> 00:37:44,662

might have someplace I have to be

 

940

00:37:44,662 --> 00:37:46,530

at the same time, I. What?

 

941

00:37:46,530 --> 00:37:49,533

What are the dates again?

 

942

00:37:49,567 --> 00:37:50,868

Yeah.

 

943

00:37:50,868 --> 00:37:53,871

 

 

944

00:37:55,006 --> 00:37:58,009

So the eighth.

 

945

00:38:00,111 --> 00:38:02,413

We really.

 

946

00:38:02,413 --> 00:38:05,283

I got the night.

 

947

00:38:05,283 --> 00:38:08,085

Okay.

 

948

00:38:08,085 --> 00:38:09,453

I could be there on the 11th.

 

949

00:38:09,453 --> 00:38:10,488

I got to be in Saint Louis

 

950

00:38:10,488 --> 00:38:11,989

on, the ninth and 10th,

 

951

00:38:13,190 --> 00:38:13,624

so.

 

952

00:38:13,624 --> 00:38:14,525

Yeah, but I would definitely.

 

953

00:38:14,525 --> 00:38:15,593

I wouldn't miss it.

 

954

00:38:15,593 --> 00:38:17,328

So

 

955

00:38:17,328 --> 00:38:18,529

I would love to bring Julie.

 

956

00:38:18,529 --> 00:38:19,730

I'll see if I can get her down there.

 

957

00:38:19,730 --> 00:38:22,700

Yeah. Okay. Okay, okay.

 

958

00:38:22,700 --> 00:38:23,768

She'd like to meet everybody

 

959

00:38:23,768 --> 00:38:26,771

and see your bride again.

 

960

00:38:27,104 --> 00:38:27,772

Okay, Rob.

 

961

00:38:27,772 --> 00:38:29,940

Well, we spent enough time on this.

 

962

00:38:29,940 --> 00:38:31,742

What else you got?

 

963

00:38:31,742 --> 00:38:32,743

Anything else?

 

964

00:38:32,743 --> 00:38:34,312

where it's at. We got a lot.

 

965

00:38:34,312 --> 00:38:35,279

We still got.

 

966

00:38:35,279 --> 00:38:37,615

We still got a ton of networking

 

967

00:38:37,615 --> 00:38:39,050

to go for. Bona.

 

968

00:38:39,050 --> 00:38:41,252

We still got a bunch of schools

 

969

00:38:41,252 --> 00:38:44,255

that we're doing so we don't stop, baby.

 

970

00:38:44,288 --> 00:38:45,690

I'm going to say.

 

971

00:38:45,690 --> 00:38:47,625

But I'm going to say this. So networking.

 

972

00:38:47,625 --> 00:38:48,459

Some people don't even

 

973

00:38:48,459 --> 00:38:49,493

have to hear this podcast

 

974

00:38:49,493 --> 00:38:50,261

they're already good at.

 

975

00:38:50,261 --> 00:38:50,861

They already know it.

 

976

00:38:50,861 --> 00:38:52,596

There's a second nature to them

 

977

00:38:52,596 --> 00:38:54,231

that's part of the personality.

 

978

00:38:54,231 --> 00:38:55,900

Or their well known

 

979

00:38:55,900 --> 00:38:56,901

and everybody knows them

 

980

00:38:56,901 --> 00:38:57,668

and what have you.

 

981

00:38:57,668 --> 00:38:59,003

You take a guy,

 

982

00:38:59,003 --> 00:39:00,137

a spray gland and everything.

 

983

00:39:00,137 --> 00:39:01,539

I mean, he's

 

984

00:39:01,539 --> 00:39:03,808

he's a master at networking, number one

 

985

00:39:03,808 --> 00:39:04,241

and two.

 

986

00:39:04,241 --> 00:39:04,975

His reputation

 

987

00:39:04,975 --> 00:39:06,610

precedes him everywhere he goes.

 

988

00:39:06,610 --> 00:39:08,913

But for some people, it's

 

989

00:39:08,913 --> 00:39:10,614

not second nature. To them, it's.

 

990

00:39:10,614 --> 00:39:11,716

And they have to get outside

 

991

00:39:11,716 --> 00:39:13,050

their comfort zone to do this.

 

992

00:39:13,050 --> 00:39:14,852

I would be one of those guys.

 

993

00:39:14,852 --> 00:39:17,855

I would I be, you know,

 

994

00:39:18,522 --> 00:39:19,357

comfortable in this.

 

995

00:39:19,357 --> 00:39:20,224

That would have to get outside

 

996

00:39:20,224 --> 00:39:21,892

my comfort zone to do this.

 

997

00:39:21,892 --> 00:39:23,761

But it's worth it.

 

998

00:39:23,761 --> 00:39:25,830

It's worth it to get out, reach out,

 

999

00:39:25,830 --> 00:39:28,599

be a mentor to somebody as someone to be

 

1000

00:39:28,599 --> 00:39:30,000

a mentor to you,

 

1001

00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,470

join the NWA if they are.

 

1002

00:39:32,470 --> 00:39:36,540

My gosh, I, the NWA, this is, look,

 

1003

00:39:37,742 --> 00:39:39,844

if someone was getting into this business

 

1004

00:39:39,844 --> 00:39:40,411

and he asked me

 

1005

00:39:40,411 --> 00:39:41,612

was the number one thing I would

 

1006

00:39:41,612 --> 00:39:44,615

I would do 100%, I'd say join the NWA.

 

1007

00:39:44,882 --> 00:39:45,816

For all the reasons

 

1008

00:39:45,816 --> 00:39:47,718

we talked about on this podcast.

 

1009

00:39:47,718 --> 00:39:50,254

I would be nowhere near anywhere.

 

1010

00:39:50,254 --> 00:39:52,323

I am in my career right now.

 

1011

00:39:52,323 --> 00:39:54,458

Not for the NWA thing.

 

1012

00:39:54,458 --> 00:39:57,461

I can tell you that with 100% certainty.

 

1013

00:39:58,362 --> 00:40:01,365

So.

 

1014

00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,569

None of your business.

 

1015

00:40:05,569 --> 00:40:06,937

I don't, I don't,

 

1016

00:40:06,937 --> 00:40:07,938

I don't have any, I don't,

 

1017

00:40:07,938 --> 00:40:09,173

I don't have any hang ups about that.

 

1018

00:40:09,173 --> 00:40:11,509

I'm 65.

 

1019

00:40:11,509 --> 00:40:14,512

Yeah.

 

1020

00:40:16,380 --> 00:40:18,616

I think about it.

 

1021

00:40:18,616 --> 00:40:21,285

You're 63.

 

1022

00:40:21,285 --> 00:40:22,686

Yeah,

 

1023

00:40:22,686 --> 00:40:25,456

yeah, yeah, yeah.

 

1024

00:40:25,456 --> 00:40:28,526

No.

 

1025

00:40:30,761 --> 00:40:31,061

No.

 

1026

00:40:31,061 --> 00:40:34,064

And I never will be.

 

1027

00:40:34,865 --> 00:40:37,868

Then.

 

1028

00:40:42,173 --> 00:40:44,575

Yeah.

 

1029

00:40:44,575 --> 00:40:46,444

Yeah.

 

1030

00:40:46,444 --> 00:40:48,179

we get the magazine.

 

1031

00:40:48,179 --> 00:40:51,982

I don't use my AARP for anything.

 

1032

00:40:52,616 --> 00:40:53,717

You know, you get discounts

 

1033

00:40:53,717 --> 00:40:54,685

for the movies and

 

1034

00:40:55,786 --> 00:40:57,621

You do.

 

1035

00:40:57,621 --> 00:41:00,624

 

 

1036

00:41:01,325 --> 00:41:02,726

Yeah.

 

1037

00:41:02,726 --> 00:41:04,161

the reason I'm talking about this,

 

1038

00:41:04,161 --> 00:41:06,697

you mentioned Wfae.

 

1039

00:41:06,697 --> 00:41:07,798

Pauline said to me,

 

1040

00:41:07,798 --> 00:41:10,367

you know, she just got the

 

1041

00:41:10,367 --> 00:41:13,370

AARP

 

1042

00:41:13,504 --> 00:41:16,474

Oh.

 

1043

00:41:22,713 --> 00:41:25,449

No kidding.

 

1044

00:41:25,449 --> 00:41:28,452

I'll be darn.

 

1045

00:41:29,887 --> 00:41:32,890

That's pretty good.

 

1046

00:41:33,491 --> 00:41:33,824

Yeah.

 

1047

00:41:33,824 --> 00:41:34,992

Yes.

 

1048

00:41:34,992 --> 00:41:37,561

You're you've made it.

 

1049

00:41:37,561 --> 00:41:40,531

Yeah.

 

1050

00:41:43,534 --> 00:41:44,068

Yeah.

 

1051

00:41:44,068 --> 00:41:44,401

Yeah.

 

1052

00:41:44,401 --> 00:41:47,404

But see that's like.

 

1053

00:41:47,938 --> 00:41:48,372

Yeah. It's.

 

1054

00:41:48,372 --> 00:41:49,406

Oh it's big time.

 

1055

00:41:49,406 --> 00:41:51,542

Yeah. It is good for him man.

 

1056

00:41:51,542 --> 00:41:51,976

Yeah.

 

1057

00:41:51,976 --> 00:41:52,510

Get Rock

 

1058

00:41:52,510 --> 00:41:55,513

started with all 65 year olds and up.

 

1059

00:41:55,579 --> 00:41:56,847

Yeah.

 

1060

00:41:56,847 --> 00:41:58,082

Oh

 

1061

00:41:58,082 --> 00:42:00,184

all right like David Lee Roth these days.

 

1062

00:42:00,184 --> 00:42:01,952

Oh man it's ruff.

 

1063

00:42:01,952 --> 00:42:03,020

Ruff ruff ruff.

 

1064

00:42:03,020 --> 00:42:04,622

Yeah Lee. Is it.

 

1065

00:42:04,622 --> 00:42:05,623

Go ahead and jump I wouldn't

 

1066

00:42:05,623 --> 00:42:06,590

I wouldn't have him jump

 

1067

00:42:06,590 --> 00:42:09,593

nowadays he'd be cripple himself.

 

1068

00:42:12,663 --> 00:42:15,032

Yeah.

 

1069

00:42:15,032 --> 00:42:16,834

No,

 

1070

00:42:16,834 --> 00:42:18,502

no.

 

1071

00:42:18,502 --> 00:42:21,138

who we saw that

 

1072

00:42:21,138 --> 00:42:22,172

he's a great singer,

 

1073

00:42:22,172 --> 00:42:23,474

but he doesn't have that big,

 

1074

00:42:23,474 --> 00:42:25,709

crazy voice. Is Bob Seger.

 

1075

00:42:26,911 --> 00:42:27,811

Bob Seger is one of

 

1076

00:42:27,811 --> 00:42:29,413

my all time favorites.

 

1077

00:42:29,413 --> 00:42:31,181

Yeah

 

1078

00:42:31,181 --> 00:42:34,184

yeah.

 

1079

00:42:35,452 --> 00:42:38,455

Yeah, yeah.

 

1080

00:42:41,592 --> 00:42:43,360

Yeah.

 

1081

00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:45,663

I looked at Pauline and my son.

 

1082

00:42:45,663 --> 00:42:47,264

I go, is it lip sync?

 

1083

00:42:47,264 --> 00:42:50,267

And I don't think he's

 

1084

00:42:50,734 --> 00:42:53,737
