00:00:11,311 --> 00:00:11,578

Hello.

00:00:11,578 --> 00:00:12,245

Welcome to another

 

3

00:00:12,245 --> 00:00:13,079

5

00:00:13,980 --> 00:00:15,548

I'm Wayne Highlander, National Sales

 

6

00:00:15,548 --> 00:00:16,850

Manager for Bona Adhesives.

 

7

00:00:16,850 --> 00:00:18,885

I'm Rob Johnson from Bona Training.

 

8

00:00:19,819 --> 00:00:20,820

How you doing, Rob?

 

9

00:00:20,820 --> 00:00:22,722

Pretty good. Happy Thanksgiving.

 

10

00:00:22,722 --> 00:00:23,289

Thank you, sir.

 

11

00:00:23,289 --> 00:00:24,591

Same to you. Yep.

 

12

00:00:24,591 --> 00:00:26,026

I don't know when this is going to air,

 

13

00:00:26,026 --> 00:00:27,260

but this is our last show

 

14

00:00:27,260 --> 00:00:28,261

before Thanksgiving.

 

15

00:00:28,261 --> 00:00:30,663

So for the listeners,

 

16

00:00:30,663 --> 00:00:33,033

happy belated Thanksgiving.

 

17

00:00:33,033 --> 00:00:34,100

Yeah. Any.

 

18

00:00:34,100 --> 00:00:36,202

Any special plans?

 

19

00:00:36,469 --> 00:00:37,704

Well, first of all, this episode

 

20

00:00:37,704 --> 00:00:39,572

is going to be on all fours,

 

21

00:00:39,572 --> 00:00:42,675

so I'll get we'll circle back to that.

 

22

00:00:42,942 --> 00:00:44,611

My wife is going to make me

 

23

00:00:44,611 --> 00:00:45,445

a pumpkin pie.

 

24

00:00:45,445 --> 00:00:48,014

And that's all I care about that.

 

25

00:00:48,281 --> 00:00:50,383

I always say Julie's a great cook

 

26

00:00:50,383 --> 00:00:51,351

and she is a great cook.

 

27

00:00:51,351 --> 00:00:53,753

But last Thanksgiving, man,

 

28

00:00:53,753 --> 00:00:55,321

I said I wanted a pumpkin pie.

 

29

00:00:56,523 --> 00:00:58,258

And she she

 

30

00:00:58,258 --> 00:01:00,894

made a pumpkin pie with Staub but crust.

 

31

00:01:01,561 --> 00:01:01,995

And she's.

 

32

00:01:01,995 --> 00:01:04,030

That's not like her at all, man.

 

33

00:01:04,030 --> 00:01:05,865

And that way.

 

34

00:01:06,132 --> 00:01:06,933

And I'm always

 

35

00:01:06,933 --> 00:01:08,835

I always tell her everything is great

 

36

00:01:08,835 --> 00:01:09,803

and it is great.

 

37

00:01:09,803 --> 00:01:11,237

She always is a great cook.

 

38

00:01:11,237 --> 00:01:13,807

But she goes, Did you like the pie?

 

39

00:01:13,940 --> 00:01:17,343

Yeah. I said.

 

40

00:01:17,343 --> 00:01:18,111

I

 

41

00:01:18,745 --> 00:01:20,814

you didn't make real crust.

 

42

00:01:20,814 --> 00:01:23,183

I mean, it's not like you, young man.

 

43

00:01:23,183 --> 00:01:24,584

You notice that I go, Yeah,

 

44

00:01:24,584 --> 00:01:26,319

and of course I noticed that, too.

 

45

00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:26,986

I'm sorry.

 

46

00:01:26,986 --> 00:01:28,221

I said, Well,

 

47

00:01:28,221 --> 00:01:29,823

you know, I apologize, whatever.

 

48

00:01:29,823 --> 00:01:30,423

But anyhow,

 

49

00:01:30,423 --> 00:01:30,890

so this year

 

50

00:01:30,890 --> 00:01:32,292

she's going to make me a person,

 

51

00:01:32,292 --> 00:01:32,859

not a put on.

 

52

00:01:32,859 --> 00:01:34,961

By God, I love pecan pie.

 

53

00:01:34,961 --> 00:01:36,362

Do I love pecan pie?

 

54

00:01:36,362 --> 00:01:37,564

Holy smokes.

 

55

00:01:37,564 --> 00:01:38,598

But you're going to make me

 

56

00:01:38,598 --> 00:01:39,532

a pumpkin pie,

 

57

00:01:39,532 --> 00:01:41,401

which is probably my second favorite pie.

 

58

00:01:41,401 --> 00:01:43,770

I didn't know you were a pecan pie guy.

 

59

00:01:44,104 --> 00:01:45,939

Oh, do I love pecan pie?

 

60

00:01:45,939 --> 00:01:47,640

All right, I'm going to have Pauline make

 

61

00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,008

and we'll send you one.

 

62

00:01:49,008 --> 00:01:49,976

You're kidding. Me.

 

63

00:01:49,976 --> 00:01:51,010

Swear to God.

 

64

00:01:51,010 --> 00:01:52,679

Oh, man. Swear to God.

 

65

00:01:53,713 --> 00:01:55,348

She makes a good one.

 

66

00:01:55,448 --> 00:01:57,217

Yeah. Okay.

 

67

00:01:57,217 --> 00:01:58,351

I'm not a fan of it.

 

68

00:01:58,351 --> 00:02:00,553

I'm not a fan of pecan pie.

 

69

00:02:00,553 --> 00:02:02,088

Oh, man, I love it.

 

70

00:02:02,088 --> 00:02:04,190

It's okay, you know, but

 

71

00:02:05,225 --> 00:02:06,693

some people in my family

 

72

00:02:06,693 --> 00:02:08,828

are big fans of it, and they just

 

73

00:02:09,662 --> 00:02:11,698

may lose it over Pauline's.

 

74

00:02:12,265 --> 00:02:12,899

What's your.

 

75

00:02:12,899 --> 00:02:13,566

Oh, Judy,

 

76

00:02:13,566 --> 00:02:14,801

tell Judy it's not a,

 

77

00:02:14,801 --> 00:02:16,836

you know, competition. No, just.

 

78

00:02:17,370 --> 00:02:20,740

Yeah, Boeing found a decent recipe, and

 

79

00:02:22,175 --> 00:02:24,811

she does a real good one.

 

80

00:02:24,811 --> 00:02:27,280

Well, what's your favorite pie?

 

81

00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:28,615

Banana cream.

 

82

00:02:28,982 --> 00:02:31,651

Oh, yeah.

 

83

00:02:31,651 --> 00:02:33,186

That's not a real pie.

 

84

00:02:33,186 --> 00:02:34,587

That is real pie.

 

85

00:02:34,587 --> 00:02:35,922

Absolutely.

 

86

00:02:35,922 --> 00:02:38,825

And every Thanksgiving and Christmas,

 

87

00:02:39,425 --> 00:02:41,694

I make banana cream pie for the family.

 

88

00:02:41,761 --> 00:02:42,629

Everybody.

 

89

00:02:43,029 --> 00:02:44,731

Showstopper. Showstopper.

 

90

00:02:44,731 --> 00:02:45,899

I'm going to shut up then,

 

91

00:02:45,899 --> 00:02:47,100

because your

 

92

00:02:47,100 --> 00:02:49,936

your your spaghetti was off the charts.

 

93

00:02:50,904 --> 00:02:52,405

So if you say you make a good pie,

 

94

00:02:52,405 --> 00:02:53,373

I'm not going to doubt you.

 

95

00:02:53,373 --> 00:02:54,841

You're spaghetti was incredible.

 

96

00:02:55,842 --> 00:02:58,244

All right.

 

97

00:02:58,244 --> 00:03:00,146

Judy's got to make you.

 

98

00:03:00,146 --> 00:03:01,080

Judy makes it incredible.

 

99

00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,348

Pie or cheesecake?

 

100

00:03:02,348 --> 00:03:03,483

I don't even like cheesecake.

 

101

00:03:03,483 --> 00:03:05,518

Or cheesecake is absolutely

 

102

00:03:06,553 --> 00:03:09,289

incredible, as is her cherry pie.

 

103

00:03:09,322 --> 00:03:10,957

So, yeah, that's it.

 

104

00:03:10,957 --> 00:03:12,926

So did she make you a whole turkey

 

105

00:03:12,926 --> 00:03:14,494

and all that stuff or is just.

 

106

00:03:14,494 --> 00:03:15,228

Just no.

 

107

00:03:15,228 --> 00:03:15,862

Pie when you said,

 

108

00:03:15,862 --> 00:03:17,197

I just want a pumpkin pie.

 

109

00:03:17,197 --> 00:03:17,997

Now, that's all I'm getting,

 

110

00:03:17,997 --> 00:03:20,333

I should be more specific on.

 

111

00:03:21,100 --> 00:03:21,501

Now we're.

 

112

00:03:21,501 --> 00:03:22,802

Going to have a Happy Thanksgiving.

 

113

00:03:22,802 --> 00:03:23,703

Yeah, yeah.

 

114

00:03:23,703 --> 00:03:24,571

We're going over Friends

 

115

00:03:24,571 --> 00:03:26,406

House this year for Thanksgiving.

 

116

00:03:26,406 --> 00:03:27,540

So and there's just the two of us.

 

117

00:03:27,540 --> 00:03:28,608

So no point making a

 

118

00:03:28,608 --> 00:03:29,409

if we're going to do that

 

119

00:03:29,409 --> 00:03:30,143

make it a turkey

 

120

00:03:30,143 --> 00:03:32,212

that'll hang around for a long time.

 

121

00:03:32,212 --> 00:03:34,180

So what are you going to bring?

 

122

00:03:34,547 --> 00:03:35,949

Mashed potatoes.

 

123

00:03:35,949 --> 00:03:37,183

Okay, they get

 

124

00:03:37,183 --> 00:03:38,218

they gave you something to do.

 

125

00:03:39,152 --> 00:03:40,687

Well, Judy, making mashed

 

126

00:03:40,687 --> 00:03:41,654

is I going to

 

127

00:03:41,654 --> 00:03:42,255

there's like 20

 

128

00:03:42,255 --> 00:03:43,623

people are going to be there.

 

129

00:03:43,623 --> 00:03:45,692

So it's a lot of mashed potatoes.

 

130

00:03:45,692 --> 00:03:48,061

But so there you go.

 

131

00:03:48,461 --> 00:03:50,163

That's pretty.

 

132

00:03:50,163 --> 00:03:50,430

Good.

 

133

00:03:50,430 --> 00:03:54,400

Irish butter in a is the key 20 people.

 

134

00:03:54,567 --> 00:03:56,302

That's a lot.

 

135

00:03:56,302 --> 00:03:57,870

That's a big. Thanksgiving.

 

136

00:03:57,870 --> 00:04:00,673

Yeah. Yep. Okay.

 

137

00:04:01,140 --> 00:04:03,810

So I got a lot of information in my head

 

138

00:04:04,711 --> 00:04:07,046

and I didn't want to waste it all.

 

139

00:04:07,046 --> 00:04:08,481

We know that.

 

140

00:04:08,481 --> 00:04:11,284

I had to do a presentation on

 

141

00:04:11,284 --> 00:04:12,018

on

 

142

00:04:13,820 --> 00:04:16,189

using cured oil flaws

 

143

00:04:16,189 --> 00:04:17,190

and how to maintain them

 

144

00:04:17,190 --> 00:04:18,324

and stuff like that.

 

145

00:04:18,324 --> 00:04:19,292

So I broadened

 

146

00:04:19,292 --> 00:04:21,160

the it's a kind of a narrow lane

 

147

00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,162

to put someone like me in.

 

148

00:04:23,162 --> 00:04:24,430

I got information.

 

149

00:04:24,430 --> 00:04:25,498

Somebody like you.

 

150

00:04:25,498 --> 00:04:26,299

Yeah. Yeah.

 

151

00:04:26,299 --> 00:04:28,835

So I opened it up to a lot,

 

152

00:04:29,068 --> 00:04:30,003

a little bit different.

 

153

00:04:30,003 --> 00:04:31,871

So I well, I'll just kind of go with that

 

154

00:04:31,871 --> 00:04:32,572

and I'm just going to I'm

 

155

00:04:32,572 --> 00:04:33,172

just go through out

 

156

00:04:33,172 --> 00:04:35,942

everything I know about these floors.

 

157

00:04:36,542 --> 00:04:37,277

I'm going to give a shout

 

158

00:04:37,277 --> 00:04:38,311

out to Carl Mattingly,

 

159

00:04:39,445 --> 00:04:41,414

who is an inspector in California.

 

160

00:04:41,414 --> 00:04:44,250

I asked him a question.

 

161

00:04:44,250 --> 00:04:45,318

He responded,

 

162

00:04:45,318 --> 00:04:46,286

I'll share that information

 

163

00:04:46,286 --> 00:04:48,087

with you as well. Okay.

 

164

00:04:48,087 --> 00:04:50,723

So all.

 

165

00:04:50,723 --> 00:04:51,724

Floors,

 

166

00:04:52,625 --> 00:04:54,827

it's interesting because all floors,

 

167

00:04:54,961 --> 00:04:56,596

the technology really dates

 

168

00:04:56,596 --> 00:04:58,164

back to the 1800s.

 

169

00:04:58,164 --> 00:04:59,265

I told you in the last episode,

 

170

00:04:59,265 --> 00:05:02,402

my wife and I, we have lunch in us hotel

 

171

00:05:02,502 --> 00:05:05,071

190 year old, the original floors.

 

172

00:05:05,071 --> 00:05:06,439

And I'm sure that those floors

 

173

00:05:06,439 --> 00:05:07,106

back in those days

 

174

00:05:07,106 --> 00:05:09,509

with probably a linseed oil

 

175

00:05:09,509 --> 00:05:10,643

linseed oil would get

 

176

00:05:10,643 --> 00:05:12,945

you know, it's a really thin product.

 

177

00:05:12,979 --> 00:05:15,014

We get right down in natural product.

 

178

00:05:15,014 --> 00:05:16,516

We get right down into all the

 

179

00:05:16,516 --> 00:05:18,451

all the pores of the wood,

 

180

00:05:18,451 --> 00:05:19,986

fill the pores of the wood.

 

181

00:05:19,986 --> 00:05:21,421

And then likely they would have

 

182

00:05:21,421 --> 00:05:22,722

they would have hand waxed

 

183

00:05:22,722 --> 00:05:25,325

floors, wood, beeswax on top of them.

 

184

00:05:25,325 --> 00:05:27,560

And that was that was technology.

 

185

00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,329

And they did a fantastic job

 

186

00:05:29,329 --> 00:05:30,830

as a lot of upkeep.

 

187

00:05:30,963 --> 00:05:32,398

But where

 

188

00:05:32,398 --> 00:05:33,700

I came to know oil

 

189

00:05:33,700 --> 00:05:36,135

floors was like in the 1990s

 

190

00:05:36,135 --> 00:05:38,671

and I remember the first generation

 

191

00:05:38,671 --> 00:05:41,507

that came over was like a single,

 

192

00:05:41,574 --> 00:05:42,408

single component.

 

193

00:05:44,077 --> 00:05:45,812

You're, you're a

 

194

00:05:45,812 --> 00:05:48,014

hard oil wax floors

 

195

00:05:48,181 --> 00:05:50,249

and they dried by oxygen.

 

196

00:05:50,283 --> 00:05:51,384

That's how they dried.

 

197

00:05:51,384 --> 00:05:54,020

So they took a long time to dry

 

198

00:05:54,020 --> 00:05:56,222

and they didn't really

 

199

00:05:56,222 --> 00:05:58,858

hold up to chemical spills in water

 

200

00:05:58,858 --> 00:06:00,960

very well. And I'm an early adopter.

 

201

00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:01,327

You know,

 

202

00:06:01,327 --> 00:06:02,929

I jumped on it pretty quick

 

203

00:06:02,929 --> 00:06:05,298

because I like the idea

 

204

00:06:05,298 --> 00:06:06,833

or the benefits of these florals.

 

205

00:06:06,833 --> 00:06:08,101

Flowers is your actually

 

206

00:06:08,101 --> 00:06:10,636

there's not a surface film on top of it.

 

207

00:06:10,636 --> 00:06:11,971

Like if you take

 

208

00:06:12,305 --> 00:06:14,507

like a polyurethane floor is like

 

209

00:06:14,941 --> 00:06:16,342

like an umbrella on top of the floor,

 

210

00:06:16,342 --> 00:06:18,211

like a surface on top of the floor,

 

211

00:06:18,211 --> 00:06:20,613

whereas these floors you're

 

212

00:06:20,613 --> 00:06:22,415

the oil is just it.

 

213

00:06:22,415 --> 00:06:24,016

It goes into all the pores of the wood

 

214

00:06:24,016 --> 00:06:24,684

and you're just

 

215

00:06:24,684 --> 00:06:25,885

and it fills the pores

 

216

00:06:25,885 --> 00:06:26,853

and you're just walking on it.

 

217

00:06:26,853 --> 00:06:27,987

Natural product,

 

218

00:06:27,987 --> 00:06:29,722

very low sheen, very sexy look.

 

219

00:06:29,722 --> 00:06:30,390

Right.

 

220

00:06:30,923 --> 00:06:31,557

I got to wait.

 

221

00:06:31,557 --> 00:06:32,692

We kind of get away from it

 

222

00:06:32,692 --> 00:06:34,394

after a short amount of time.

 

223

00:06:34,394 --> 00:06:35,628

Back then, because of the issues

 

224

00:06:35,628 --> 00:06:36,896

that I talked about,

 

225

00:06:36,896 --> 00:06:38,231

I didn't feel like I was

 

226

00:06:38,231 --> 00:06:39,332

I feel like as educating

 

227

00:06:39,332 --> 00:06:40,566

the whole world on how to now

 

228

00:06:40,566 --> 00:06:41,734

walk on your hardwood floors,

 

229

00:06:41,734 --> 00:06:42,201

because that's

 

230

00:06:42,201 --> 00:06:43,136

the way they did it in Europe

 

231

00:06:44,737 --> 00:06:46,672

and because they

 

232

00:06:46,672 --> 00:06:48,374

took a long time to dry and cure

 

233

00:06:48,374 --> 00:06:49,208

and all these other things.

 

234

00:06:49,208 --> 00:06:50,376

So wait a minute.

 

235

00:06:50,376 --> 00:06:52,345

You were educating

 

236

00:06:52,345 --> 00:06:54,180

your customers back in California

 

237

00:06:54,180 --> 00:06:56,048

that you were doing these floors for.

 

238

00:06:56,048 --> 00:06:57,550

Yes. Okay.

 

239

00:06:57,550 --> 00:06:57,950

Yeah.

 

240

00:06:57,950 --> 00:06:59,185

Okay. Yeah.

 

241

00:06:59,185 --> 00:07:00,186

So you have to

 

242

00:07:00,186 --> 00:07:01,788

I mean, that's well, again that later.

 

243

00:07:01,788 --> 00:07:03,723

But these floors require

 

244

00:07:03,723 --> 00:07:05,992

some education up front.

 

245

00:07:06,058 --> 00:07:08,561

So shortly thereafter

 

246

00:07:09,395 --> 00:07:11,664

somebody said, well, somebody

 

247

00:07:11,664 --> 00:07:13,399

the reason why a hard oil wax

 

248

00:07:13,399 --> 00:07:16,269

came about, to my knowledge anyhow, is

 

249

00:07:16,302 --> 00:07:16,569

somebody

 

250

00:07:16,569 --> 00:07:17,069

figured out

 

251

00:07:17,069 --> 00:07:18,738

how to take the wax in the

 

252

00:07:18,738 --> 00:07:20,339

and the oil and mix them together

 

253

00:07:20,339 --> 00:07:22,175

in one in one

 

254

00:07:22,175 --> 00:07:24,010

one go instead of, you know,

 

255

00:07:24,010 --> 00:07:24,644

using the oil

 

256

00:07:24,644 --> 00:07:27,180

and putting the wax behind it. Okay.

 

257

00:07:27,180 --> 00:07:28,381

But then they came out

 

258

00:07:28,381 --> 00:07:30,283

with the two components.

 

259

00:07:30,483 --> 00:07:31,584

Now, the two components

 

260

00:07:31,584 --> 00:07:32,285

were interesting to me

 

261

00:07:32,285 --> 00:07:34,387

because they dried by two different ways.

 

262

00:07:35,054 --> 00:07:36,422

They dried by oxygen

 

263

00:07:36,422 --> 00:07:37,757

like like two single components,

 

264

00:07:37,757 --> 00:07:40,226

but they also dried by by

 

265

00:07:41,427 --> 00:07:42,562

a chemical reaction

 

266

00:07:42,562 --> 00:07:44,497

usually and assassinate I.

 

267

00:07:44,497 --> 00:07:46,065

Are you breathing?

 

268

00:07:46,999 --> 00:07:48,401

Are you breathing?

 

269

00:07:48,401 --> 00:07:50,269

No, no.

 

270

00:07:50,269 --> 00:07:52,104

I'm actually holding my breath.

 

271

00:07:52,104 --> 00:07:53,005

Okay.

 

272

00:07:53,005 --> 00:07:54,474

It's like I can't hear you breathing.

 

273

00:07:54,474 --> 00:07:55,308

It's weird.

 

274

00:07:55,875 --> 00:07:57,243

It's bugging me.

 

275

00:07:59,245 --> 00:08:02,515

So, so.

 

276

00:08:04,984 --> 00:08:07,019

Breathing bugs me.

 

277

00:08:07,053 --> 00:08:09,288

Rob your breathing.

 

278

00:08:09,288 --> 00:08:11,691

Sustaining life is annoying me.

 

279

00:08:11,691 --> 00:08:12,658

From one time

 

280

00:08:12,658 --> 00:08:14,393

when I was about 13 years old, I was

 

281

00:08:14,393 --> 00:08:15,228

I was

 

282

00:08:15,394 --> 00:08:16,996

my brother and I was we're going to

 

283

00:08:16,996 --> 00:08:18,598

we live in a small town in Kentucky.

 

284

00:08:18,598 --> 00:08:21,167

We were going to go downtown, which is.

 

285

00:08:21,167 --> 00:08:24,871

Not much of a downtown.

 

286

00:08:24,871 --> 00:08:32,011

Keep going.

 

287

00:08:32,011 --> 00:08:33,513

When we were

 

288

00:08:33,513 --> 00:08:34,680

we were kids living in Kentucky.

 

289

00:08:34,680 --> 00:08:35,681

I was 13 years old.

 

290

00:08:35,681 --> 00:08:37,350

But we would put my brother, my brother

 

291

00:08:37,350 --> 00:08:39,652

at about 15 or 16,

 

292

00:08:39,652 --> 00:08:41,521

we were walking downtown

 

293

00:08:41,521 --> 00:08:42,321

and he looks over at me

 

294

00:08:42,321 --> 00:08:43,723

and he goes walking on the other side

 

295

00:08:43,723 --> 00:08:47,660

of the sidewalk.

 

296

00:08:47,660 --> 00:08:48,194

I go, What?

 

297

00:08:49,161 --> 00:08:50,263

He goes, You heard me walking

 

298

00:08:50,263 --> 00:08:51,297

on the other side of the sidewalk

 

299

00:08:51,297 --> 00:08:51,631

we bought.

 

300

00:08:51,631 --> 00:08:52,498

We're going together

 

301

00:08:52,498 --> 00:08:54,700

downtown, the same place I go.

 

302

00:08:54,700 --> 00:08:58,304

Why is it because you're too fat.

 

303

00:09:09,015 --> 00:09:09,982

To say we're.

 

304

00:09:09,982 --> 00:09:11,884

Just some brotherly love. There?

 

305

00:09:11,884 --> 00:09:13,085

Yeah, absolutely.

 

306

00:09:13,085 --> 00:09:14,587

You got to love that.

 

307

00:09:14,587 --> 00:09:15,221

Mm.

 

308

00:09:15,221 --> 00:09:15,888

So

 

309

00:09:19,058 --> 00:09:21,394

Mom said I was husky, so.

 

310

00:09:21,394 --> 00:09:23,162

You know. Yeah.

 

311

00:09:23,162 --> 00:09:24,564

So anyhow.

 

312

00:09:24,630 --> 00:09:25,665

So then

 

313

00:09:25,665 --> 00:09:27,900

you have to shop in the husky section.

 

314

00:09:27,900 --> 00:09:29,969

I did, yes. That's.

 

315

00:09:30,603 --> 00:09:32,338

That's where you and I probably met.

 

316

00:09:32,338 --> 00:09:32,672

Yeah.

 

317

00:09:32,672 --> 00:09:33,472

Soon as my mom said

 

318

00:09:33,472 --> 00:09:35,174

when these are fit you their size husky.

 

319

00:09:35,174 --> 00:09:37,643

That was it from my brother's husky.

 

320

00:09:37,810 --> 00:09:39,879

My brothers would never let that go.

 

321

00:09:39,879 --> 00:09:41,747

Oh, where's Husky?

 

322

00:09:41,747 --> 00:09:44,016

It was husky.

 

323

00:09:44,016 --> 00:09:47,587

A husky, you know.

 

324

00:09:47,820 --> 00:09:48,387

You see,

 

325

00:09:48,387 --> 00:09:50,256

they don't do that to kids anymore.

 

326

00:09:50,256 --> 00:09:52,558

Now. There is no husky section.

 

327

00:09:52,992 --> 00:09:54,360

Now, isn't there?

 

328

00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,396

I know I then the clothing stores

 

329

00:09:57,396 --> 00:09:59,365

now they. Hmm.

 

330

00:09:59,365 --> 00:10:00,366

There's no husky.

 

331

00:10:00,366 --> 00:10:02,168

Well there is for two big guys.

 

332

00:10:02,168 --> 00:10:02,969

Big, you know.

 

333

00:10:02,969 --> 00:10:04,236

Big, big and tall. Yeah.

 

334

00:10:04,236 --> 00:10:06,839

Big and tall or you know, big section.

 

335

00:10:07,239 --> 00:10:08,808

But I think they've even taken those

 

336

00:10:08,808 --> 00:10:09,842

signs down.

 

337

00:10:09,842 --> 00:10:12,144

You get a kind of look for that some.

 

338

00:10:12,144 --> 00:10:13,879

Okay, but those signs were up

 

339

00:10:13,879 --> 00:10:14,647

when we were kids.

 

340

00:10:14,647 --> 00:10:15,915

Husky said. Oh, absolutely.

 

341

00:10:15,915 --> 00:10:16,782

They were. Over here.

 

342

00:10:16,782 --> 00:10:17,817

Chunky Yeah.

 

343

00:10:17,817 --> 00:10:19,986

Yeah, yeah. Right up. Yeah.

 

344

00:10:19,986 --> 00:10:20,653

Mm hmm.

 

345

00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:22,922

Not only

 

346

00:10:22,922 --> 00:10:23,990

are you going to shop here,

 

347

00:10:23,990 --> 00:10:26,325

but we're going to put a big sign up.

 

348

00:10:26,325 --> 00:10:27,493

Say,

 

349

00:10:27,493 --> 00:10:28,828

you're very large

 

350

00:10:28,828 --> 00:10:30,863

and you can't shop with the normal kids.

 

351

00:10:31,230 --> 00:10:32,131

We'll traumatize

 

352

00:10:32,131 --> 00:10:34,133

you right off the bat, right? Yeah.

 

353

00:10:34,634 --> 00:10:38,037

Yeah, this is a scale.

 

354

00:10:39,271 --> 00:10:40,106

All right.

 

355

00:10:40,239 --> 00:10:41,040

So

 

356

00:10:41,741 --> 00:10:43,175

then it came out, the two components.

 

357

00:10:43,175 --> 00:10:44,644

And the two components were interesting

 

358

00:10:44,644 --> 00:10:45,211

because they did

 

359

00:10:45,211 --> 00:10:45,611

they took

 

360

00:10:45,611 --> 00:10:46,712

they dried in two different ways.

 

361

00:10:46,712 --> 00:10:47,947

They dried by oxygen,

 

362

00:10:47,947 --> 00:10:49,782

but they also dried by the chemical.

 

363

00:10:49,782 --> 00:10:52,284

Reaction was easy, nice seine,

 

364

00:10:52,284 --> 00:10:53,119

but they held up.

 

365

00:10:53,119 --> 00:10:54,320

The chemical is much better.

 

366

00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,322

They hold up to spills much better.

 

367

00:10:56,322 --> 00:10:59,191

And then I then that was in.

 

368

00:10:59,492 --> 00:11:00,893

All right I like that was

 

369

00:11:00,893 --> 00:11:01,627

that was a cool look.

 

370

00:11:01,627 --> 00:11:02,728

I liked everything about that

 

371

00:11:02,728 --> 00:11:03,929

and whatever

 

372

00:11:04,397 --> 00:11:05,364

but then the.

 

373

00:11:05,364 --> 00:11:07,500

Week before you get crank in. Here, okay.

 

374

00:11:07,767 --> 00:11:10,403

So when you first did oil floors,

 

375

00:11:10,403 --> 00:11:12,071

what was that like, nineties.

 

376

00:11:12,071 --> 00:11:13,539

It was in the nineties, yeah.

 

377

00:11:13,539 --> 00:11:14,407

Early nineties.

 

378

00:11:14,407 --> 00:11:15,808

So in the nineties

 

379

00:11:15,808 --> 00:11:18,644

you had to put the oil down

 

380

00:11:18,644 --> 00:11:20,413

and then put a coat of wax on top.

 

381

00:11:20,413 --> 00:11:22,381

No, no, no, no.

 

382

00:11:22,381 --> 00:11:24,450

Because when they when they

 

383

00:11:24,784 --> 00:11:25,918

came over here,

 

384

00:11:26,952 --> 00:11:27,386

someone had

 

385

00:11:27,386 --> 00:11:28,688

figured out how to put the oil

 

386

00:11:28,688 --> 00:11:30,089

and the wax together

 

387

00:11:30,089 --> 00:11:31,223

to come out with this product.

 

388

00:11:31,223 --> 00:11:32,124

So you no longer you

 

389

00:11:32,124 --> 00:11:33,659

no longer had into the linseed

 

390

00:11:33,659 --> 00:11:34,360

oil down first

 

391

00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,462

and then come up behind it with wax.

 

392

00:11:36,462 --> 00:11:38,497

So after they come out

 

393

00:11:38,497 --> 00:11:40,232

with the two components,

 

394

00:11:40,499 --> 00:11:42,902

they came out the you've cured

 

395

00:11:43,202 --> 00:11:45,905

your oil flaws.

 

396

00:11:45,905 --> 00:11:48,874

Now be aware that

 

397

00:11:48,874 --> 00:11:49,642

when they introduced

 

398

00:11:49,642 --> 00:11:50,876

that process, they introduce

 

399

00:11:50,876 --> 00:11:53,012

acrylic into the mix.

 

400

00:11:53,012 --> 00:11:53,646

Now acrylic

 

401

00:11:53,646 --> 00:11:55,448

is one of the major components

 

402

00:11:55,448 --> 00:11:58,150

that's added to like a urethane finish.

 

403

00:11:58,884 --> 00:12:01,287

So sometimes

 

404

00:12:01,287 --> 00:12:03,055

they can have more of a surface

 

405

00:12:03,055 --> 00:12:05,291

film look to them, you know what I mean?

 

406

00:12:05,758 --> 00:12:07,226

Almost like a polyurethane look.

 

407

00:12:07,226 --> 00:12:08,461

So depending on how much acrylic

 

408

00:12:08,461 --> 00:12:10,029

they put in the floor

 

409

00:12:10,029 --> 00:12:11,731

and you'll be carried them,

 

410

00:12:11,731 --> 00:12:13,399

which is nice because you don't

 

411

00:12:13,399 --> 00:12:15,534

you're not introducing that

 

412

00:12:15,534 --> 00:12:16,635

they're cured right away when

 

413

00:12:16,635 --> 00:12:18,170

you install them and

 

414

00:12:20,406 --> 00:12:22,975

sometimes a little tougher to touch up.

 

415

00:12:22,975 --> 00:12:24,243

And so that was my introduce

 

416

00:12:24,243 --> 00:12:26,645

introduction to these type of floors.

 

417

00:12:26,645 --> 00:12:27,546

Now

 

418

00:12:28,314 --> 00:12:29,849

I'm going to.

 

419

00:12:29,849 --> 00:12:31,117

Go over.

 

420

00:12:31,117 --> 00:12:33,018

Everything that can go wrong

 

421

00:12:33,018 --> 00:12:34,487

with one of these floors.

 

422

00:12:34,487 --> 00:12:35,354

Okay? Okay.

 

423

00:12:35,354 --> 00:12:36,322

And it's not to say there's

 

424

00:12:36,322 --> 00:12:38,057

anything bad about them,

 

425

00:12:38,057 --> 00:12:39,892

but and and I

 

426

00:12:39,892 --> 00:12:40,292

like I said,

 

427

00:12:40,292 --> 00:12:41,694

I talked to an inspector about this.

 

428

00:12:41,694 --> 00:12:42,061

I said,

 

429

00:12:42,061 --> 00:12:42,895

I sit here, I'm

 

430

00:12:42,895 --> 00:12:44,864

going to give you my $0.02.

 

431

00:12:44,864 --> 00:12:46,365

He gave me his $0.02.

 

432

00:12:46,365 --> 00:12:48,234

And this is my list of what can go wrong

 

433

00:12:48,234 --> 00:12:49,468

with these type of floors.

 

434

00:12:49,468 --> 00:12:50,669

And and I do this

 

435

00:12:50,669 --> 00:12:52,671

to keep you out of trouble. Okay.

 

436

00:12:52,671 --> 00:12:53,639

Wait a minute.

 

437

00:12:53,639 --> 00:12:56,475

Yes, sir.

 

438

00:12:56,475 --> 00:12:56,642

Now,

 

439

00:12:56,642 --> 00:12:58,477

you said you were in a very narrow

 

440

00:12:58,477 --> 00:13:01,113

lane here. Yes, right.

 

441

00:13:01,680 --> 00:13:04,016

And you're talking about you've secured

 

442

00:13:04,383 --> 00:13:07,987

oil floors or correct natural oil.

 

443

00:13:07,987 --> 00:13:11,157

You've secured not like craft oil, too.

 

444

00:13:11,190 --> 00:13:12,258

Okay.

 

445

00:13:12,391 --> 00:13:14,927

Now we'll talk in those products.

 

446

00:13:15,027 --> 00:13:17,062

I want to talk I'm glad you said that,

 

447

00:13:17,396 --> 00:13:18,931

because now I'm going to go back into

 

448

00:13:19,932 --> 00:13:21,867

oil floors in general.

 

449

00:13:21,867 --> 00:13:22,334

Okay.

 

450

00:13:22,334 --> 00:13:24,370

What could go wrong with oil floors

 

451

00:13:24,370 --> 00:13:26,839

in general? Okay. Yeah.

 

452

00:13:26,839 --> 00:13:29,074

I'm kind of like a traffic cop with you.

 

453

00:13:29,074 --> 00:13:30,042

You are?

 

454

00:13:30,242 --> 00:13:31,510

Yeah. Yeah, I got it.

 

455

00:13:31,510 --> 00:13:33,846

I got it. Yeah.

 

456

00:13:33,846 --> 00:13:35,581

Almost like a collie dog,

 

457

00:13:35,581 --> 00:13:36,882

a border sheepherder.

 

458

00:13:36,882 --> 00:13:38,484

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

 

459

00:13:38,484 --> 00:13:39,451

Like Joseph.

 

460

00:13:39,451 --> 00:13:40,052

Yeah.

 

461

00:13:40,085 --> 00:13:42,354

Put me back in my lane. Exactly.

 

462

00:13:42,655 --> 00:13:43,689

There you go.

 

463

00:13:43,689 --> 00:13:45,858

Because I thought we were you were just.

 

464

00:13:45,858 --> 00:13:47,726

And I was thinking to myself,

 

465

00:13:47,726 --> 00:13:50,529

why are we picking such a narrow

 

466

00:13:51,597 --> 00:13:54,366

subject here of you've cured oil floors?

 

467

00:13:54,366 --> 00:13:55,434

I didn't even know there was.

 

468

00:13:55,434 --> 00:13:57,336

You've cured oil floors.

 

469

00:13:57,336 --> 00:13:58,237

Well,

 

470

00:13:58,671 --> 00:14:00,072

maybe maybe it's confusing,

 

471

00:14:00,072 --> 00:14:01,040

because that's what I was asked

 

472

00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:02,908

to speak about. Okay.

 

473

00:14:02,908 --> 00:14:04,977

And so now I opened it up to.

 

474

00:14:04,977 --> 00:14:06,679

The lot of everything

 

475

00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:07,479

that you could have talked

 

476

00:14:07,479 --> 00:14:09,481

about in the wood floor industry.

 

477

00:14:10,850 --> 00:14:12,551

The Wayne Highlander.

 

478

00:14:12,551 --> 00:14:13,385

Mm hmm.

 

479

00:14:13,586 --> 00:14:15,621

The Wayne Highlander.

 

480

00:14:15,621 --> 00:14:16,222

Yeah.

 

481

00:14:16,322 --> 00:14:17,990

That's what they want you to talk about.

 

482

00:14:17,990 --> 00:14:19,592

Yeah. Yeah.

 

483

00:14:19,592 --> 00:14:20,326

I know.

 

484

00:14:20,326 --> 00:14:24,196

Very rarely did you see anything like.

 

485

00:14:24,530 --> 00:14:25,497

Or I wanted to say.

 

486

00:14:25,497 --> 00:14:25,598

Well,

 

487

00:14:25,598 --> 00:14:26,966

how about if they just talk about SAT

 

488

00:14:26,966 --> 00:14:28,100

and finish

 

489

00:14:29,268 --> 00:14:29,735

applying?

 

490

00:14:29,735 --> 00:14:31,003

SAT and finish.

 

491

00:14:31,003 --> 00:14:31,570

But I.

 

492

00:14:31,570 --> 00:14:34,073

I rolled with it, so.

 

493

00:14:34,740 --> 00:14:36,876

Okay, this is what. Can go wrong.

 

494

00:14:36,876 --> 00:14:37,910

Okay,

 

495

00:14:37,910 --> 00:14:40,713

let's say this is over like 20 years of,

 

496

00:14:40,713 --> 00:14:42,848

of, of research for the inspector

 

497

00:14:42,848 --> 00:14:44,049

and all.

 

498

00:14:44,049 --> 00:14:46,085

It always and here's the bottom line.

 

499

00:14:47,152 --> 00:14:48,721

It almost always

 

500

00:14:48,721 --> 00:14:50,389

comes down to maintenance.

 

501

00:14:50,389 --> 00:14:52,057

Okay.

 

502

00:14:52,057 --> 00:14:53,726

But I'm going to give you number one.

 

503

00:14:53,726 --> 00:14:55,961

And number one is that the point of sale

 

504

00:14:57,129 --> 00:14:59,431

gate where you have the homeowner

 

505

00:14:59,431 --> 00:15:00,532

in front of you

 

506

00:15:00,532 --> 00:15:03,903

and you don't explain that these are not

 

507

00:15:05,037 --> 00:15:07,706

no maintenance flaws, but they're they're

 

508

00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:08,641

you know,

 

509

00:15:08,641 --> 00:15:10,809

some maintenance force is involved

 

510

00:15:10,809 --> 00:15:11,710

with these products. Okay.

 

511

00:15:11,710 --> 00:15:12,511

You really need

 

512

00:15:12,511 --> 00:15:13,212

I think you need to have

 

513

00:15:13,212 --> 00:15:14,013

that conversation.

 

514

00:15:14,013 --> 00:15:14,713

Okay.

 

515

00:15:14,747 --> 00:15:16,315

Now, because the look

 

516

00:15:16,315 --> 00:15:16,916

that let's see

 

517

00:15:16,916 --> 00:15:18,350

and I think here's what could happen.

 

518

00:15:18,350 --> 00:15:19,485

Let's say you're a retail store

 

519

00:15:19,485 --> 00:15:21,453

homeowner comes in, she sees that stain

 

520

00:15:21,453 --> 00:15:23,689

sample deal. Oh, my gosh.

 

521

00:15:23,689 --> 00:15:25,291

Three by three looks beautiful.

 

522

00:15:25,291 --> 00:15:25,891

Can I take it home

 

523

00:15:25,891 --> 00:15:26,892

and put it next to my cabinets?

 

524

00:15:26,892 --> 00:15:28,160

You sure can.

 

525

00:15:28,427 --> 00:15:29,161

Comes back.

 

526

00:15:29,161 --> 00:15:30,663

Yes. This is beautiful.

 

527

00:15:30,663 --> 00:15:31,330

This is what I want.

 

528

00:15:31,330 --> 00:15:33,532

Why would a sales rep say then?

 

529

00:15:33,565 --> 00:15:35,834

Now, let me talk you out of that.

 

530

00:15:36,368 --> 00:15:36,902

You know what I mean?

 

531

00:15:36,902 --> 00:15:38,871

If someone is giddy over a product, mean,

 

532

00:15:38,871 --> 00:15:39,605

why do you want to get in

 

533

00:15:39,605 --> 00:15:40,172

the way of that?

 

534

00:15:40,172 --> 00:15:40,773

But I think

 

535

00:15:40,773 --> 00:15:41,807

at the time you really do

 

536

00:15:41,807 --> 00:15:44,176

need to have that conversation look.

 

537

00:15:44,176 --> 00:15:45,544

Beautiful floor.

 

538

00:15:45,544 --> 00:15:47,346

I want to just educate you

 

539

00:15:47,346 --> 00:15:49,348

as I would with any of our products

 

540

00:15:49,348 --> 00:15:51,383

on these type of floors. Okay.

 

541

00:15:52,384 --> 00:15:53,252

All right.

 

542

00:15:53,385 --> 00:15:55,921

Now, number two. Wait.

 

543

00:15:55,921 --> 00:15:57,022

Yessir. For you, get in.

 

544

00:15:57,022 --> 00:15:58,223

Number two,

 

545

00:15:58,324 --> 00:15:59,992

I got to take it a step further

 

546

00:15:59,992 --> 00:16:00,859

because it's

 

547

00:16:00,859 --> 00:16:01,694

definitely something

 

548

00:16:01,694 --> 00:16:04,296

that I talk about in training.

 

549

00:16:04,296 --> 00:16:04,830

You know,

 

550

00:16:04,830 --> 00:16:06,565

we got our own craft oil,

 

551

00:16:06,565 --> 00:16:07,566

awesome product,

 

552

00:16:07,566 --> 00:16:08,867

everybody loves it, easy

 

553

00:16:08,867 --> 00:16:12,004

to work with all that good stuff.

 

554

00:16:12,004 --> 00:16:12,738

But I do

 

555

00:16:12,738 --> 00:16:15,140

tell people at our trainings, listen,

 

556

00:16:15,941 --> 00:16:17,810

part of the sale that goes with this,

 

557

00:16:17,810 --> 00:16:18,944

whether you're selling it

 

558

00:16:18,944 --> 00:16:20,980

or they're asking for it,

 

559

00:16:20,980 --> 00:16:23,315

is to talk about the maintenance program

 

560

00:16:24,283 --> 00:16:25,951

and what is going to be required.

 

561

00:16:25,951 --> 00:16:28,020

And I said and on top of that,

 

562

00:16:28,554 --> 00:16:30,789

you've got to have a number in your head.

 

563

00:16:31,390 --> 00:16:33,392

So when the homeowner says,

 

564

00:16:33,392 --> 00:16:36,028

Oh, what's that going to cost me?

 

565

00:16:36,028 --> 00:16:37,262

You got to have that right

 

566

00:16:37,262 --> 00:16:37,830

then and there.

 

567

00:16:37,830 --> 00:16:38,497

You can't be like,

 

568

00:16:38,497 --> 00:16:39,465

Oh, well, wait a minute,

 

569

00:16:39,465 --> 00:16:40,866

you know, let me do some.

 

570

00:16:40,866 --> 00:16:43,002

So I think you got to have that number,

 

571

00:16:43,002 --> 00:16:44,269

whether it's a square foot

 

572

00:16:44,269 --> 00:16:46,605

or by the room or whatever,

 

573

00:16:46,605 --> 00:16:47,806

you got to have that maintenance

 

574

00:16:47,806 --> 00:16:48,741

cost in your head.

 

575

00:16:48,741 --> 00:16:49,641

You got to know what those

 

576

00:16:49,641 --> 00:16:51,643

maintenance person are cost you,

 

577

00:16:51,643 --> 00:16:52,344

how much,

 

578

00:16:52,344 --> 00:16:53,312

what's the labor

 

579

00:16:53,312 --> 00:16:53,912

and all that,

 

580

00:16:53,912 --> 00:16:55,981

and have a good solid number

 

581

00:16:56,815 --> 00:16:58,484

so there's no fooling around

 

582

00:16:58,484 --> 00:17:00,285

where if you said to somebody,

 

583

00:17:00,285 --> 00:17:01,920

hey, it might require maintenance,

 

584

00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:03,188

you know, to some people

 

585

00:17:03,188 --> 00:17:04,023

that would be like,

 

586

00:17:04,023 --> 00:17:05,657

oh, are you going to come in, rub

 

587

00:17:05,657 --> 00:17:07,926

something on the floor and walk out?

 

588

00:17:07,926 --> 00:17:09,895

Yeah, good point.

 

589

00:17:11,764 --> 00:17:14,033

That's the second one today, folks.

 

590

00:17:14,333 --> 00:17:16,201

They're all three and you get the price.

 

591

00:17:16,201 --> 00:17:18,537

So three and I get to leave, stay two.

 

592

00:17:19,238 --> 00:17:20,005

All right.

 

593

00:17:20,005 --> 00:17:22,441

Number two, I'm going to say is amnesia

 

594

00:17:23,675 --> 00:17:25,044

is that you absolutely

 

595

00:17:25,044 --> 00:17:27,279

had that discussion with the homeowner

 

596

00:17:27,279 --> 00:17:29,081

and it went out the window.

 

597

00:17:29,081 --> 00:17:31,383

So I think, therefore,

 

598

00:17:31,383 --> 00:17:33,585

it's a it's a good idea.

 

599

00:17:33,585 --> 00:17:35,821

And maybe even after the install, hey,

 

600

00:17:36,755 --> 00:17:37,523

here's your four year

 

601

00:17:37,523 --> 00:17:38,757

install, we're done.

 

602

00:17:38,757 --> 00:17:39,658

Now, let me walk you

 

603

00:17:39,658 --> 00:17:41,260

through the maintenance program.

 

604

00:17:41,260 --> 00:17:42,761

We always have everybody sign off on it.

 

605

00:17:42,761 --> 00:17:43,695

It makes you understand that

 

606

00:17:43,695 --> 00:17:44,763

if you have any questions,

 

607

00:17:44,763 --> 00:17:46,632

you know, now's the time to ask whatever.

 

608

00:17:46,632 --> 00:17:48,467

But get a signature on it

 

609

00:17:48,467 --> 00:17:49,768

so they don't come back with it.

 

610

00:17:49,768 --> 00:17:50,936

Because I think they're

 

611

00:17:50,936 --> 00:17:51,870

with this type of product.

 

612

00:17:51,870 --> 00:17:52,871

I think sometimes

 

613

00:17:52,871 --> 00:17:54,940

there is buyer's remorse

 

614

00:17:54,940 --> 00:17:56,542

where they will say, you know what?

 

615

00:17:56,542 --> 00:17:58,010

And I'll get into this later.

 

616

00:17:58,010 --> 00:17:59,778

But you know what?

 

617

00:17:59,778 --> 00:18:01,113

What used to be a low,

 

618

00:18:01,113 --> 00:18:02,281

very low sheen,

 

619

00:18:02,281 --> 00:18:02,881

a beautiful low

 

620

00:18:02,881 --> 00:18:04,383

sheen can turn into lifeless

 

621

00:18:04,383 --> 00:18:06,185

and dull down the road.

 

622

00:18:06,185 --> 00:18:08,854

You know what I mean?

 

623

00:18:08,854 --> 00:18:10,889

So just be aware

 

624

00:18:10,889 --> 00:18:12,357

and we'll get into that a bit later.

 

625

00:18:12,357 --> 00:18:12,991

Okay.

 

626

00:18:12,991 --> 00:18:14,093

Lifeless and dull.

 

627

00:18:14,093 --> 00:18:16,762

That's the name of my of autobiography.

 

628

00:18:16,762 --> 00:18:18,664

We just came up with a

 

629

00:18:18,664 --> 00:18:20,599

great name for my autobiography

 

630

00:18:20,599 --> 00:18:22,501

when I got around to write.

 

631

00:18:22,501 --> 00:18:24,770

Yes. Rob Johnson, my late life.

 

632

00:18:24,770 --> 00:18:25,370

Lifeless and.

 

633

00:18:25,370 --> 00:18:28,740

Dull. Anything but Rob

 

634

00:18:30,142 --> 00:18:31,110

number three is

 

635

00:18:31,110 --> 00:18:34,113

instantly at the time of installation

 

636

00:18:34,113 --> 00:18:37,349

using blue tape.

 

637

00:18:37,349 --> 00:18:39,084

When you pull the blue tape off,

 

638

00:18:39,084 --> 00:18:41,186

these floors have oil in them, obviously,

 

639

00:18:41,420 --> 00:18:42,554

and sometimes it pulls

 

640

00:18:42,554 --> 00:18:44,223

the oil off as well

 

641

00:18:44,223 --> 00:18:45,023

and it can leave

 

642

00:18:45,023 --> 00:18:47,192

tape like tape lines on the floor.

 

643

00:18:47,192 --> 00:18:50,129

So you definitely want to be using straps

 

644

00:18:50,129 --> 00:18:52,231

when you're doing these floors.

 

645

00:18:52,397 --> 00:18:54,633

And a lot of times

 

646

00:18:54,633 --> 00:18:56,768

adhesives have what we call a memory.

 

647

00:18:57,302 --> 00:18:59,338

So if you put the plank in the he

 

648

00:18:59,338 --> 00:19:00,939

and you slide it into place,

 

649

00:19:00,939 --> 00:19:02,374

it keeps wanting to slide back

 

650

00:19:02,374 --> 00:19:06,845

to where you first put the adhesive in.

 

651

00:19:06,845 --> 00:19:08,647

Now, as a side note, bone

 

652

00:19:08,647 --> 00:19:10,549

adhesive has no has no memory.

 

653

00:19:10,549 --> 00:19:12,384

Oh. All right.

 

654

00:19:12,384 --> 00:19:13,652

You see, I was able to work this.

 

655

00:19:13,652 --> 00:19:14,119

The only time

 

656

00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:15,087

I'll be able to work in adhesive.

 

657

00:19:15,087 --> 00:19:17,122

I was just about to jump on that.

 

658

00:19:17,122 --> 00:19:19,625

This whole presentation. All right.

 

659

00:19:21,026 --> 00:19:21,960

All right.

 

660

00:19:22,027 --> 00:19:23,529

Number four.

 

661

00:19:23,729 --> 00:19:25,998

And this is interesting to me

 

662

00:19:25,998 --> 00:19:27,799

and this is very common occurrence

 

663

00:19:27,799 --> 00:19:30,068

where sometimes

 

664

00:19:30,068 --> 00:19:32,304

you'll you'll install the floor,

 

665

00:19:32,304 --> 00:19:34,206

the builder rolls out,

 

666

00:19:34,206 --> 00:19:36,341

ramps on the floor to protect it. Right.

 

667

00:19:36,942 --> 00:19:37,910

And you'll say ramp

 

668

00:19:37,910 --> 00:19:40,179

boards, breathable whatever.

 

669

00:19:40,312 --> 00:19:41,513

And after a month

 

670

00:19:41,513 --> 00:19:42,281

and a half or two months

 

671

00:19:42,281 --> 00:19:44,249

of the ramp board being down

 

672

00:19:44,249 --> 00:19:46,151

the ramp boards pulled off.

 

673

00:19:46,151 --> 00:19:47,853

And a lot of times that though,

 

674

00:19:47,853 --> 00:19:49,087

that RAM board

 

675

00:19:49,087 --> 00:19:49,855

dries out,

 

676

00:19:49,855 --> 00:19:52,424

dries out the the the oil in the floor

 

677

00:19:53,325 --> 00:19:55,561

and can get in kind of be like a

 

678

00:19:55,761 --> 00:19:57,696

like a dry look to it.

 

679

00:19:57,696 --> 00:19:58,363

So that's a bad way

 

680

00:19:58,363 --> 00:20:00,399

to start off on the floor

 

681

00:20:00,399 --> 00:20:02,067

of your brand new floor.

 

682

00:20:02,067 --> 00:20:03,669

Does the oil attach itself

 

683

00:20:03,669 --> 00:20:06,171

to the ramp or. No, I think. Like a wick.

 

684

00:20:06,338 --> 00:20:09,208

No, I think I think that and sometimes

 

685

00:20:09,208 --> 00:20:09,575

like there's

 

686

00:20:09,575 --> 00:20:11,376

there's heating vents that are

 

687

00:20:11,376 --> 00:20:11,843

that are going

 

688

00:20:11,843 --> 00:20:13,045

to get under there or whatever.

 

689

00:20:13,045 --> 00:20:14,046

And it doesn't allow the Florida

 

690

00:20:14,046 --> 00:20:15,614

breeze so much. And it just

 

691

00:20:16,882 --> 00:20:17,916

can rob the,

 

692

00:20:17,916 --> 00:20:18,317

you know, kind

 

693

00:20:18,317 --> 00:20:20,619

of robbed the floor of its oils. Okay.

 

694

00:20:21,286 --> 00:20:24,056

So now how is this for a conversation?

 

695

00:20:24,056 --> 00:20:25,924

Okay, your floor is done

 

696

00:20:25,924 --> 00:20:27,459

for the ramp board up.

 

697

00:20:27,459 --> 00:20:30,229

I'm going to need another $8,000 to to.

 

698

00:20:33,665 --> 00:20:34,099

Apply.

 

699

00:20:34,099 --> 00:20:36,335

Another coat of oil to your floor.

 

700

00:20:36,335 --> 00:20:38,337

Yeah, okay.

 

701

00:20:38,337 --> 00:20:39,471

So we talked about.

 

702

00:20:39,471 --> 00:20:41,273

Sounds like a great conversation.

 

703

00:20:41,273 --> 00:20:43,375

Yeah, let's get into that one.

 

704

00:20:43,375 --> 00:20:46,111

So, but let's say it's a white floor.

 

705

00:20:46,111 --> 00:20:46,878

Gray floor.

 

706

00:20:46,878 --> 00:20:48,547

And in that happens,

 

707

00:20:48,547 --> 00:20:49,681

you're starting out with

 

708

00:20:49,681 --> 00:20:50,816

with a lot of that

 

709

00:20:50,816 --> 00:20:52,618

not enough oil on the floor.

 

710

00:20:52,618 --> 00:20:52,951

You know,

 

711

00:20:52,951 --> 00:20:53,719

it would be a quick

 

712

00:20:53,719 --> 00:20:55,954

one coat process to put it on there.

 

713

00:20:55,954 --> 00:20:57,022

But I hate

 

714

00:20:57,022 --> 00:20:58,123

when it's like someone saying

 

715

00:20:58,123 --> 00:20:59,791

you just do a light sanding.

 

716

00:20:59,791 --> 00:21:01,026

No, I mean, there's no such thing.

 

717

00:21:01,026 --> 00:21:02,928

It's you know, there's still time and

 

718

00:21:02,928 --> 00:21:04,563

energy and money in costs. So

 

719

00:21:05,797 --> 00:21:08,867

so there's that on the installation.

 

720

00:21:08,867 --> 00:21:09,868

Wait a minute.

 

721

00:21:09,868 --> 00:21:10,802

Yes, sir.

 

722

00:21:11,103 --> 00:21:12,437

So we're going to tell the builder,

 

723

00:21:12,437 --> 00:21:13,105

listen,

 

724

00:21:13,105 --> 00:21:13,672

you know,

 

725

00:21:13,672 --> 00:21:15,107

you might have worked with wood floors

 

726

00:21:15,107 --> 00:21:16,842

before.

 

727

00:21:16,842 --> 00:21:18,010

I would for our contractors

 

728

00:21:18,010 --> 00:21:19,278

and everything.

 

729

00:21:19,544 --> 00:21:21,680

But now we definitely have to be

 

730

00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:22,681

the last person

 

731

00:21:22,681 --> 00:21:24,049

to get away from that ramp board

 

732

00:21:24,049 --> 00:21:25,784

and covering those floors up.

 

733

00:21:25,784 --> 00:21:26,551

I think it's a it's

 

734

00:21:26,551 --> 00:21:27,986

a good conversation to have.

 

735

00:21:27,986 --> 00:21:28,987

And I think I

 

736

00:21:28,987 --> 00:21:31,156

certainly want to put somebody on notice,

 

737

00:21:31,156 --> 00:21:32,190

say, look,

 

738

00:21:32,224 --> 00:21:33,325

I'm just going to shoot you

 

739

00:21:33,325 --> 00:21:35,160

straight here.

 

740

00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:36,628

It's a very common practice for people

 

741

00:21:36,628 --> 00:21:37,929

what ran bore down.

 

742

00:21:37,929 --> 00:21:39,431

But when you go with this type of floor,

 

743

00:21:39,431 --> 00:21:40,832

it's a possibility.

 

744

00:21:40,832 --> 00:21:41,433

It doesn't happen

 

745

00:21:41,433 --> 00:21:44,636

all the time that you may this may occur

 

746

00:21:45,270 --> 00:21:46,838

just to put them on notice that,

 

747

00:21:46,838 --> 00:21:48,907

you know, you don't want to

 

748

00:21:48,907 --> 00:21:49,941

nobody wants to go back

 

749

00:21:49,941 --> 00:21:51,209

to some way to ask for more money

 

750

00:21:51,209 --> 00:21:52,077

and what have you,

 

751

00:21:52,077 --> 00:21:52,477

even though you're

 

752

00:21:52,477 --> 00:21:56,381

looking out after the homeowner.

 

753

00:21:56,381 --> 00:21:57,816

I think one thing down the road in

 

754

00:21:57,816 --> 00:21:59,251

after in a life of floor

 

755

00:21:59,251 --> 00:22:00,652

usually if it's been down for a while,

 

756

00:22:00,652 --> 00:22:00,986

you know,

 

757

00:22:00,986 --> 00:22:01,920

if you have enough oil out

 

758

00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,422

you can, you know, drop a little water

 

759

00:22:03,422 --> 00:22:04,756

on the floor, receive it, repels

 

760

00:22:05,724 --> 00:22:06,258

away.

 

761

00:22:06,258 --> 00:22:07,926

It's like some protection on floor of it

 

762

00:22:07,926 --> 00:22:09,328

or if it doesn't.

 

763

00:22:09,461 --> 00:22:09,961

But

 

764

00:22:11,530 --> 00:22:12,798

the next one is following

 

765

00:22:12,798 --> 00:22:14,199

the manufacturer's guidelines.

 

766

00:22:14,199 --> 00:22:14,966

And the challenge,

 

767

00:22:14,966 --> 00:22:16,168

Jones, is

 

768

00:22:16,168 --> 00:22:17,336

sometimes is that you don't know

 

769

00:22:17,336 --> 00:22:18,870

what's on the floor,

 

770

00:22:19,771 --> 00:22:20,539

that,

 

771

00:22:21,139 --> 00:22:22,541

you know, some of these floors

 

772

00:22:22,541 --> 00:22:23,275

and even the like,

 

773

00:22:23,275 --> 00:22:25,010

the reps don't know what's on the floor.

 

774

00:22:25,010 --> 00:22:26,311

It may have changed over the

 

775

00:22:26,311 --> 00:22:27,346

over the years.

 

776

00:22:27,346 --> 00:22:28,547

So there's a

 

777

00:22:28,547 --> 00:22:30,549

there's the universal cleaners

 

778

00:22:30,549 --> 00:22:31,883

you can use.

 

779

00:22:32,050 --> 00:22:33,118

You know, we make one

 

780

00:22:33,118 --> 00:22:34,353

we have competitors, obviously

 

781

00:22:34,353 --> 00:22:35,721

didn't make one.

 

782

00:22:35,887 --> 00:22:39,358

So there you go for that number.

 

783

00:22:39,558 --> 00:22:41,727

The next one is plastic rubs.

 

784

00:22:41,727 --> 00:22:44,529

The plastic rubs plastic

 

785

00:22:44,529 --> 00:22:47,199

or rubber backing on the rugs

 

786

00:22:47,199 --> 00:22:49,735

that can turn the floor black.

 

787

00:22:50,235 --> 00:22:51,336

And in all fairness, it could

 

788

00:22:51,336 --> 00:22:53,672

this could happen to your thinking floor

 

789

00:22:53,672 --> 00:22:54,473

or a pre finished floor

 

790

00:22:54,473 --> 00:22:56,007

site for this floor as well.

 

791

00:22:56,007 --> 00:22:57,943

But definitely want to be careful of the

 

792

00:22:57,943 --> 00:22:58,343

what's that

 

793

00:22:59,311 --> 00:23:00,645

website Rob.

 

794

00:23:00,645 --> 00:23:01,079

You mean the

 

795

00:23:01,079 --> 00:23:03,315

one that I that's a month

 

796

00:23:03,315 --> 00:23:05,250

and once a month.

 

797

00:23:05,250 --> 00:23:06,985

Once my my once a month

 

798

00:23:06,985 --> 00:23:08,186

I get a call from Wayne.

 

799

00:23:08,186 --> 00:23:10,756

Hey, what's the carpet?

 

800

00:23:10,756 --> 00:23:13,325

The carpet backing that we recommend.

 

801

00:23:13,325 --> 00:23:14,893

And I mean, you've been asking me

 

802

00:23:14,893 --> 00:23:16,161

this for years.

 

803

00:23:16,161 --> 00:23:17,229

Literally once a month,

 

804

00:23:17,229 --> 00:23:19,331

I probably call and ask. Yes, yeah.

 

805

00:23:19,831 --> 00:23:21,900

Sometimes I think you put me on.

 

806

00:23:21,900 --> 00:23:23,602

No, it's really that bad.

 

807

00:23:23,602 --> 00:23:25,971

And you really still don't know even it's

 

808

00:23:26,037 --> 00:23:26,505

I mean.

 

809

00:23:26,571 --> 00:23:28,173

Is it rug something.

 

810

00:23:28,173 --> 00:23:29,141

No.

 

811

00:23:29,808 --> 00:23:31,343

This is like two weeks ago.

 

812

00:23:31,343 --> 00:23:32,778

I can look it.

 

813

00:23:32,778 --> 00:23:35,013

I know. Weeks ago you asked me this.

 

814

00:23:35,013 --> 00:23:35,847

I always think it's going to be

 

815

00:23:35,847 --> 00:23:36,782

the last time I ever ask.

 

816

00:23:36,782 --> 00:23:39,418

You know, move that car.

 

817

00:23:39,418 --> 00:23:40,352

Spell it.

 

818

00:23:40,352 --> 00:23:45,257

And I'll dash m you v

 

819

00:23:46,291 --> 00:23:46,591

so it

 

820

00:23:46,591 --> 00:23:46,992

looks like

 

821

00:23:46,992 --> 00:23:48,927

Merv but they pronounce it

 

822

00:23:48,927 --> 00:23:50,762

no move dot com.

 

823

00:23:50,762 --> 00:23:51,430

Okay.

 

824

00:23:51,430 --> 00:23:54,433

And it's the carpet backing

 

825

00:23:54,433 --> 00:23:56,835

that we recommend that won't harm

 

826

00:23:57,636 --> 00:23:59,037

finishes

 

827

00:24:00,105 --> 00:24:01,373

our finishes.

 

828

00:24:01,373 --> 00:24:04,743

Okay but I'm

 

829

00:24:04,743 --> 00:24:06,945

I don't know about oil.

 

830

00:24:06,945 --> 00:24:08,580

Okay well deal.

 

831

00:24:08,580 --> 00:24:09,514

With that be.

 

832

00:24:09,514 --> 00:24:12,451

Don't use plastic or rubber backing.

 

833

00:24:12,451 --> 00:24:15,454

So there you. Go.

 

834

00:24:15,454 --> 00:24:16,188

All right.

 

835

00:24:16,188 --> 00:24:18,390

Don't no move dot com.

 

836

00:24:18,490 --> 00:24:19,791

They should send me a t shirt

 

837

00:24:19,791 --> 00:24:20,392

or something.

 

838

00:24:20,392 --> 00:24:22,961

They should. Yeah. The big one.

 

839

00:24:23,361 --> 00:24:25,630

And then you should, you should

 

840

00:24:25,664 --> 00:24:26,832

split it with me

 

841

00:24:26,832 --> 00:24:29,968

because of all the times I bring it up.

 

842

00:24:30,035 --> 00:24:30,769

Yeah, actually.

 

843

00:24:30,769 --> 00:24:31,970

Are you working for them now?

 

844

00:24:31,970 --> 00:24:34,239

Because you do ask a lot. You.

 

845

00:24:34,239 --> 00:24:36,274

So you've sold a lot of that.

 

846

00:24:36,274 --> 00:24:36,875

No.

 

847

00:24:37,042 --> 00:24:37,909

It's embarrassing

 

848

00:24:37,909 --> 00:24:39,344

how many times I've asked you that.

 

849

00:24:39,344 --> 00:24:41,446

It is crazy. So.

 

850

00:24:41,446 --> 00:24:44,049

Okay, Kyle and Rebecca,

 

851

00:24:44,049 --> 00:24:45,884

my daughter and son in law,

 

852

00:24:45,884 --> 00:24:47,419

when they bought their house,

 

853

00:24:47,419 --> 00:24:47,786

you know,

 

854

00:24:47,786 --> 00:24:49,721

I got to do the floors,

 

855

00:24:49,721 --> 00:24:50,889

they were in pretty good shape.

 

856

00:24:50,889 --> 00:24:51,890

So I went in

 

857

00:24:51,890 --> 00:24:54,326

and just gave me a real good screen

 

858

00:24:54,326 --> 00:24:55,327

and co couple of code

 

859

00:24:55,327 --> 00:24:56,561

to traffic in the floor.

 

860

00:24:56,561 --> 00:24:58,797

So actually I use natural.

 

861

00:24:58,797 --> 00:25:01,733

So the floors look great, you know,

 

862

00:25:01,733 --> 00:25:05,103

and she says to me,

 

863

00:25:05,103 --> 00:25:06,304

you know, we're going to do some,

 

864

00:25:06,304 --> 00:25:08,807

you know, a couple of area rugs.

 

865

00:25:08,807 --> 00:25:09,274

What should I?

 

866

00:25:09,274 --> 00:25:11,743

And I go, oh, you know, call Wayne.

 

867

00:25:11,743 --> 00:25:14,579

He'll tell, you know, move dot com.

 

868

00:25:14,579 --> 00:25:14,913

Yeah.

 

869

00:25:15,881 --> 00:25:17,716

So I tell her here you go.

 

870

00:25:17,716 --> 00:25:19,584

No, move that car.

 

871

00:25:20,552 --> 00:25:21,753

She calls me back the next day.

 

872

00:25:21,753 --> 00:25:22,721

She goes,

 

873

00:25:23,355 --> 00:25:25,423

you know, is there anything else that

 

874

00:25:25,991 --> 00:25:27,158

those no move

 

875

00:25:27,158 --> 00:25:29,327

mats, they're kind of expensive.

 

876

00:25:29,327 --> 00:25:31,963

Oh, like you're kidding me, right?

 

877

00:25:32,030 --> 00:25:33,632

You got the floors for free.

 

878

00:25:33,632 --> 00:25:35,100

We? Yeah.

 

879

00:25:35,100 --> 00:25:36,735

The flooring cost you in.

 

880

00:25:36,735 --> 00:25:38,737

Yeah. Yeah.

 

881

00:25:38,737 --> 00:25:39,738

Your brother and I were there

 

882

00:25:39,738 --> 00:25:41,706

for two days.

 

883

00:25:41,973 --> 00:25:44,042

You paid nothing for the floors.

 

884

00:25:44,042 --> 00:25:45,410

Yeah, zero.

 

885

00:25:45,410 --> 00:25:47,913

And you can't meet me halfway.

 

886

00:25:48,446 --> 00:25:50,882

Mm.

 

887

00:25:50,882 --> 00:25:51,783

I think, I think.

 

888

00:25:51,783 --> 00:25:53,251

Yeah, yeah.

 

889

00:25:53,251 --> 00:25:53,818

Yeah.

 

890

00:25:53,818 --> 00:25:54,286

She was like

 

891

00:25:54,286 --> 00:25:56,021

well I guess you put it that way.

 

892

00:25:56,021 --> 00:25:57,389

Yeah, yeah.

 

893

00:25:57,389 --> 00:25:59,558

Yeah I know. So listeners.

 

894

00:25:59,558 --> 00:26:00,759

Yes I guess it's,

 

895

00:26:00,759 --> 00:26:02,794

I guess they're expensive

 

896

00:26:02,794 --> 00:26:04,296

but there's a reason that, that

 

897

00:26:04,296 --> 00:26:05,797

that's the one that we recommend

 

898

00:26:05,797 --> 00:26:07,599

because we know it's not going to

 

899

00:26:07,599 --> 00:26:08,934

harm the finish.

 

900

00:26:08,934 --> 00:26:10,702

There you go. All right.

 

901

00:26:10,702 --> 00:26:12,270

Next one is

 

902

00:26:12,270 --> 00:26:13,538

and this is very common

 

903

00:26:13,538 --> 00:26:15,740

is overuse of excuse me,

 

904

00:26:15,740 --> 00:26:17,609

overusing the cleaner.

 

905

00:26:17,609 --> 00:26:21,479

Now, picture like like hand lotion.

 

906

00:26:21,713 --> 00:26:22,380

Okay.

 

907

00:26:22,514 --> 00:26:24,149

If you were to take hand lotion,

 

908

00:26:24,149 --> 00:26:25,483

put on your hands

 

909

00:26:25,483 --> 00:26:27,118

and that work it into your hands

 

910

00:26:27,118 --> 00:26:28,954

and not work it into your hands

 

911

00:26:28,954 --> 00:26:29,421

and whatever.

 

912

00:26:29,421 --> 00:26:31,022

Just leave it in your hands.

 

913

00:26:31,022 --> 00:26:32,390

That's what you'll be doing

 

914

00:26:32,390 --> 00:26:34,159

if you use too much oil on a floor.

 

915

00:26:34,159 --> 00:26:36,194

So make sure you, you know,

 

916

00:26:36,194 --> 00:26:38,029

really saturate the the wood.

 

917

00:26:38,029 --> 00:26:39,030

Get the wood nice and,

 

918

00:26:39,030 --> 00:26:39,230

you know,

 

919

00:26:39,230 --> 00:26:41,366

drive it in the oils into the wood.

 

920

00:26:41,366 --> 00:26:42,667

But it should be like

 

921

00:26:42,667 --> 00:26:44,235

almost like putting handles

 

922

00:26:44,235 --> 00:26:45,870

in on your hands.

 

923

00:26:45,904 --> 00:26:48,974

The oil, the floors need that oil.

 

924

00:26:48,974 --> 00:26:49,307

Okay.

 

925

00:26:49,307 --> 00:26:50,742

That's that's that's how they that

 

926

00:26:50,742 --> 00:26:51,710

that's when they're healthy.

 

927

00:26:52,978 --> 00:26:55,080

But you don't want to saturate them

 

928

00:26:55,213 --> 00:26:56,014

as easy

 

929

00:26:56,014 --> 00:26:56,648

an indication

 

930

00:26:56,648 --> 00:26:57,983

that you have too much

 

931

00:26:57,983 --> 00:26:59,250

oil on the floor

 

932

00:26:59,250 --> 00:26:59,818

is it can have a

 

933

00:26:59,818 --> 00:27:01,486

like a hazy appearance to it

 

934

00:27:01,486 --> 00:27:02,787

or you're leaving footprints.

 

935

00:27:02,787 --> 00:27:05,357

Okay in which case I we get out of buffer

 

936

00:27:05,357 --> 00:27:06,524

probably a low speed buffer

 

937

00:27:06,524 --> 00:27:07,626

with a white pad three

 

938

00:27:07,626 --> 00:27:07,926

and white

 

939

00:27:07,926 --> 00:27:09,961

pad, thick white pad and just buff start

 

940

00:27:10,028 --> 00:27:11,763

buffing that again

 

941

00:27:11,763 --> 00:27:13,064

and flipping the pad over

 

942

00:27:13,064 --> 00:27:14,432

and getting some of that oil off

 

943

00:27:14,432 --> 00:27:16,468

and driving the oil into the floor.

 

944

00:27:17,035 --> 00:27:17,969

Okay.

 

945

00:27:17,969 --> 00:27:20,805

Now is that that's for the U.V.

 

946

00:27:20,839 --> 00:27:21,873

stuff, right?

 

947

00:27:21,873 --> 00:27:22,073

Yeah.

 

948

00:27:22,073 --> 00:27:25,777

With our products work on that.

 

949

00:27:25,777 --> 00:27:28,747

We have cleaners for for,

 

950

00:27:29,881 --> 00:27:31,483

you know, like a

 

951

00:27:31,716 --> 00:27:34,452

a universal cleaner that we have for for

 

952

00:27:34,452 --> 00:27:36,855

for oil floors. Yes.

 

953

00:27:37,122 --> 00:27:38,723

But not the Kraft oil soap

 

954

00:27:38,723 --> 00:27:40,425

and Kraft oil care.

 

955

00:27:40,425 --> 00:27:41,760

Yeah, that's our cleaners.

 

956

00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:42,560

Okay.

 

957

00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:43,795

Well, if

 

958

00:27:43,795 --> 00:27:45,997

I'm going to give you a little tutorial

 

959

00:27:45,997 --> 00:27:47,832

on those two cleaners,

 

960

00:27:47,832 --> 00:27:48,667

these do

 

961

00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,136

not make it simple so you can understand

 

962

00:27:51,736 --> 00:27:53,605

exactly what they do.

 

963

00:27:53,605 --> 00:27:54,606

Okay. Okay.

 

964

00:27:54,606 --> 00:27:56,041

We have to

 

965

00:27:56,041 --> 00:27:58,243

we have Kraft Oil Soap

 

966

00:27:58,243 --> 00:27:59,711

and we have Kraft Oil. Can

 

967

00:28:01,413 --> 00:28:01,946

you understand?

 

968

00:28:01,946 --> 00:28:02,881

You're with me so far.

 

969

00:28:02,881 --> 00:28:03,915

You're talking to me?

 

970

00:28:03,915 --> 00:28:05,116

Yeah, I'm talking to you.

 

971

00:28:05,116 --> 00:28:06,084

Of course I'm with you.

 

972

00:28:06,084 --> 00:28:07,118

Because it looks like you're

 

973

00:28:07,118 --> 00:28:07,952

looking around.

 

974

00:28:07,952 --> 00:28:09,487

You're not paying attention.

 

975

00:28:09,487 --> 00:28:10,755

You're looking for pumpkin pie.

 

976

00:28:10,755 --> 00:28:12,257

That's couple of days away.

 

977

00:28:12,257 --> 00:28:13,458

Yeah, but you're you're. Explain.

 

978

00:28:13,458 --> 00:28:15,627

Here's what you're going to do. Okay?

 

979

00:28:15,927 --> 00:28:18,096

I want you to picture me in the shower.

 

980

00:28:18,096 --> 00:28:20,031

Mm. Yeah.

 

981

00:28:20,031 --> 00:28:21,833

So it's for me in the shower.

 

982

00:28:21,833 --> 00:28:23,435

And when I'm washing my hair,

 

983

00:28:23,435 --> 00:28:24,903

I'm using what?

 

984

00:28:24,903 --> 00:28:26,971

I'm using shampoo. Yeah, right.

 

985

00:28:27,605 --> 00:28:28,440

The shampoo.

 

986

00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:29,774

That's Kraft Oil soap.

 

987

00:28:29,774 --> 00:28:31,810

Soap is shampoo, right?

 

988

00:28:31,810 --> 00:28:34,412

Then you rinse all that out and that's

 

989

00:28:34,512 --> 00:28:36,114

what's the next thing I'm going to do

 

990

00:28:36,114 --> 00:28:38,249

from my hair conditioner.

 

991

00:28:38,750 --> 00:28:40,251

That's the care.

 

992

00:28:40,251 --> 00:28:41,853

The care is the nourish

 

993

00:28:41,853 --> 00:28:43,321

or the conditioner

 

994

00:28:43,321 --> 00:28:45,724

just like you're nourishing your hair

 

995

00:28:45,757 --> 00:28:47,559

conditioner in your hair.

 

996

00:28:47,559 --> 00:28:50,195

That's what Kraft Oil Soap and Kraft Oil

 

997

00:28:50,528 --> 00:28:51,663

Care does.

 

998

00:28:51,663 --> 00:28:53,732

Now, everybody listening knows

 

999

00:28:55,033 --> 00:28:56,067

the difference.

 

1000

00:28:56,067 --> 00:28:57,535

Think of me in the shower,

 

1001

00:28:57,535 --> 00:28:58,937

and that's what the soap does

 

1002

00:28:58,937 --> 00:29:00,972

and that's what the care does.

 

1003

00:29:00,972 --> 00:29:03,408

So I love that analogy, but

 

1004

00:29:03,775 --> 00:29:06,745

could you not have used somebody else?

 

1005

00:29:06,745 --> 00:29:08,613

No, I wanted to meet me that way.

 

1006

00:29:08,613 --> 00:29:11,182

It's burned in your head.

 

1007

00:29:11,349 --> 00:29:13,551

It's burned in their head.

 

1008

00:29:13,551 --> 00:29:15,220

That certainly is mine.

 

1009

00:29:15,220 --> 00:29:15,954

Yeah.

 

1010

00:29:17,155 --> 00:29:18,123

Okay.

 

1011

00:29:18,556 --> 00:29:19,758

That was weird.

 

1012

00:29:19,924 --> 00:29:20,425

Sales.

 

1013

00:29:20,425 --> 00:29:21,059

At a sales

 

1014

00:29:21,059 --> 00:29:24,829

meeting, Nick Lawson asked me to describe

 

1015

00:29:24,829 --> 00:29:27,132

that and Shearson was there

 

1016

00:29:28,433 --> 00:29:29,467

and I did it.

 

1017

00:29:29,467 --> 00:29:30,902

I said the whole thing,

 

1018

00:29:30,902 --> 00:29:32,303

the whole shower scene.

 

1019

00:29:32,303 --> 00:29:34,472

Oh, nice scene.

 

1020

00:29:34,472 --> 00:29:36,441

And yeah, had shower scene

 

1021

00:29:36,441 --> 00:29:37,942

and I'm still here.

 

1022

00:29:37,942 --> 00:29:38,877

Maybe she was on it,

 

1023

00:29:38,877 --> 00:29:39,878

she might have been out of call

 

1024

00:29:39,878 --> 00:29:41,713

or something but yeah.

 

1025

00:29:41,713 --> 00:29:43,648

Or maybe it was different,

 

1026

00:29:43,648 --> 00:29:44,082

you know,

 

1027

00:29:44,082 --> 00:29:45,517

breaking it down into Swedish

 

1028

00:29:45,517 --> 00:29:46,551

or English or something,

 

1029

00:29:46,551 --> 00:29:48,219

but maybe it meant something different.

 

1030

00:29:48,219 --> 00:29:49,621

But what's this?

 

1031

00:29:49,621 --> 00:29:52,056

We just word for creep because I may have

 

1032

00:29:52,924 --> 00:29:55,827

I think I think I heard like crypto

 

1033

00:29:55,827 --> 00:29:56,394

or something.

 

1034

00:29:56,394 --> 00:29:59,364

I don't know.

 

1035

00:29:59,364 --> 00:30:00,031

Creepy, right?

 

1036

00:30:00,999 --> 00:30:01,733

Yeah.

 

1037

00:30:01,966 --> 00:30:03,334

Not enough oil.

 

1038

00:30:03,334 --> 00:30:06,004

Okay, a close second to too much oil.

 

1039

00:30:06,671 --> 00:30:08,940

As I said, these floors need the oil.

 

1040

00:30:08,940 --> 00:30:09,808

That's what.

 

1041

00:30:09,808 --> 00:30:12,677

And I'm going to I'm going to give you a

 

1042

00:30:12,677 --> 00:30:14,078

example.

 

1043

00:30:14,078 --> 00:30:15,914

I went out to

 

1044

00:30:15,914 --> 00:30:17,148

I was working for a manufacturer

 

1045

00:30:17,148 --> 00:30:18,183

at the time,

 

1046

00:30:18,183 --> 00:30:20,218

and this homeowner client complained.

 

1047

00:30:20,218 --> 00:30:21,619

About her or.

 

1048

00:30:23,521 --> 00:30:24,556

Still breathing.

 

1049

00:30:24,556 --> 00:30:27,892

Yeah, I went out to a floor.

 

1050

00:30:27,892 --> 00:30:29,127

The homeowner was complaining

 

1051

00:30:29,127 --> 00:30:30,662

that she bought this floor.

 

1052

00:30:30,662 --> 00:30:32,931

She purchased this for just, you know,

 

1053

00:30:32,931 --> 00:30:34,866

nine months, ten months ago or whatever.

 

1054

00:30:34,866 --> 00:30:36,901

And it looked absolutely horrible

 

1055

00:30:36,901 --> 00:30:39,137

and really thought then,

 

1056

00:30:39,270 --> 00:30:39,437

you know,

 

1057

00:30:39,437 --> 00:30:41,072

I spent a lot of money on this floor.

 

1058

00:30:41,072 --> 00:30:42,440

It looks awful.

 

1059

00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,175

It's a hard oil wax floor.

 

1060

00:30:44,175 --> 00:30:46,411

And I'm just not happy at all.

 

1061

00:30:46,411 --> 00:30:48,713

So Manufacturer Rep went out.

 

1062

00:30:48,913 --> 00:30:51,749

I went with them and went out there

 

1063

00:30:51,816 --> 00:30:53,618

and we re oiled that floor

 

1064

00:30:53,618 --> 00:30:55,119

and we opened a door and walked in there.

 

1065

00:30:55,119 --> 00:30:55,353

I that

 

1066

00:30:55,353 --> 00:30:57,622

holy smokes these floors of hammered

 

1067

00:30:57,622 --> 00:30:59,591

I mean they absolutely looked terrible

 

1068

00:30:59,591 --> 00:31:00,992

and it was a kitchen,

 

1069

00:31:00,992 --> 00:31:01,960

but it was a dining room

 

1070

00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:02,961

off the kitchen as well.

 

1071

00:31:02,961 --> 00:31:05,496

And another couple hallways.

 

1072

00:31:05,496 --> 00:31:07,899

And we re oiled that floor.

 

1073

00:31:08,132 --> 00:31:08,867

And when we left,

 

1074

00:31:08,867 --> 00:31:11,169

it looked absolutely stunning.

 

1075

00:31:11,169 --> 00:31:11,703

Stunning.

 

1076

00:31:11,703 --> 00:31:12,737

When we left,

 

1077

00:31:12,737 --> 00:31:14,505

it just tells you what proper

 

1078

00:31:14,505 --> 00:31:16,140

maintenance will do.

 

1079

00:31:16,140 --> 00:31:17,642

And here's a nice thing about it.

 

1080

00:31:17,642 --> 00:31:18,176

Once you

 

1081

00:31:18,176 --> 00:31:19,177

these things that I'm talking about,

 

1082

00:31:19,177 --> 00:31:20,378

what could go wrong.

 

1083

00:31:20,378 --> 00:31:20,745

Usually

 

1084

00:31:20,745 --> 00:31:21,913

when you educate the homeowner

 

1085

00:31:21,913 --> 00:31:22,847

and get them on the right track,

 

1086

00:31:22,847 --> 00:31:24,482

you never hear the problems.

 

1087

00:31:24,482 --> 00:31:25,383

You never hear the problems again

 

1088

00:31:25,383 --> 00:31:27,118

from them. Let's you understand it.

 

1089

00:31:28,786 --> 00:31:29,954

So I look, it's

 

1090

00:31:29,954 --> 00:31:31,756

it's it's kind of ironic to me

 

1091

00:31:31,756 --> 00:31:33,391

because the last floor

 

1092

00:31:33,391 --> 00:31:35,526

ever did in my life,

 

1093

00:31:35,526 --> 00:31:36,995

I could have put any filling,

 

1094

00:31:36,995 --> 00:31:38,463

I could have put traffic or whatever

 

1095

00:31:38,463 --> 00:31:39,931

I wanted on that floor.

 

1096

00:31:39,931 --> 00:31:41,099

And I chose to go with two

 

1097

00:31:41,099 --> 00:31:43,801

co two of our craft oil

 

1098

00:31:43,801 --> 00:31:45,069

and it's interesting

 

1099

00:31:45,069 --> 00:31:46,271

because back back in the nineties,

 

1100

00:31:46,271 --> 00:31:47,505

after I stopped,

 

1101

00:31:47,505 --> 00:31:49,741

after the single owners came out,

 

1102

00:31:49,741 --> 00:31:51,576

I told myself, Now I'm done.

 

1103

00:31:51,576 --> 00:31:53,511

I'll never use these floors again.

 

1104

00:31:53,511 --> 00:31:55,179

And yet the last floor ever did,

 

1105

00:31:55,179 --> 00:31:59,384

which, by the way,

 

1106

00:31:59,384 --> 00:32:03,755

for the year.

 

1107

00:32:03,755 --> 00:32:06,090

Q The music people,

 

1108

00:32:06,090 --> 00:32:07,959

that's what he put on Florida.

 

1109

00:32:07,959 --> 00:32:10,328

You can hear

 

1110

00:32:10,762 --> 00:32:13,831

he just like, Oh yeah.

 

1111

00:32:13,998 --> 00:32:14,999

I hear you.

 

1112

00:32:14,999 --> 00:32:15,900

I'm afraid

 

1113

00:32:15,900 --> 00:32:17,268

it's going to go away for some time,

 

1114

00:32:17,268 --> 00:32:18,703

but it hasn't yet.

 

1115

00:32:18,703 --> 00:32:19,671

Hmm. Okay.

 

1116

00:32:19,671 --> 00:32:21,072

There are some people that say

 

1117

00:32:21,072 --> 00:32:22,607

when you oil these floors

 

1118

00:32:22,607 --> 00:32:25,176

and have an oil floor, the floor is

 

1119

00:32:25,843 --> 00:32:26,711

you have to treat it

 

1120

00:32:26,711 --> 00:32:30,682

like it's still living, you know?

 

1121

00:32:30,715 --> 00:32:31,282

Yeah.

 

1122

00:32:31,282 --> 00:32:32,517

Cleaning it, nourishing

 

1123

00:32:32,517 --> 00:32:34,252

it, that kind of thing.

 

1124

00:32:34,252 --> 00:32:35,019

Yeah.

 

1125

00:32:35,086 --> 00:32:37,255

I love the natural look, right.

 

1126

00:32:37,255 --> 00:32:37,855

I mean,

 

1127

00:32:37,855 --> 00:32:40,491

and I do think these floors down the road

 

1128

00:32:41,159 --> 00:32:42,093

get so much better.

 

1129

00:32:42,093 --> 00:32:43,962

Look in the patina is beautiful.

 

1130

00:32:43,962 --> 00:32:45,530

I mean, some of the advantages,

 

1131

00:32:45,530 --> 00:32:46,798

I mean, they would

 

1132

00:32:46,798 --> 00:32:47,765

if you get a small score

 

1133

00:32:47,765 --> 00:32:49,067

it's got for scratch the

 

1134

00:32:49,067 --> 00:32:49,734

you don't notice them

 

1135

00:32:49,734 --> 00:32:50,368

as much there

 

1136

00:32:50,368 --> 00:32:52,036

you can easily repair areas

 

1137

00:32:52,036 --> 00:32:53,972

without with one exception

 

1138

00:32:53,972 --> 00:32:55,206

I'll get to later

 

1139

00:32:55,206 --> 00:32:57,075

without having to sand

 

1140

00:32:57,075 --> 00:32:58,409

and finish the whole floors.

 

1141

00:32:58,409 --> 00:32:58,843

By the way,

 

1142

00:32:58,843 --> 00:33:00,378

when I talked about the pre finished

 

1143

00:33:01,879 --> 00:33:02,313

hard oil

 

1144

00:33:02,313 --> 00:33:05,216

wax floors and putting acrylic in them

 

1145

00:33:06,250 --> 00:33:07,885

sometimes

 

1146

00:33:07,919 --> 00:33:09,287

when you scratch those

 

1147

00:33:09,287 --> 00:33:11,022

they can get a white scratch in them

 

1148

00:33:11,022 --> 00:33:13,624

just like just like a,

 

1149

00:33:13,825 --> 00:33:16,127

you know, a urethane for so

 

1150

00:33:17,462 --> 00:33:18,863

I you make a pretty good argument

 

1151

00:33:18,863 --> 00:33:22,066

for for going with a site finished two

 

1152

00:33:22,066 --> 00:33:25,203

component product.

 

1153

00:33:25,203 --> 00:33:28,139

All right so we're matte here

 

1154

00:33:28,139 --> 00:33:29,440

you're saying versus oil.

 

1155

00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,075

The homeowner has worked on urethane

 

1156

00:33:31,075 --> 00:33:32,176

her whole life.

 

1157

00:33:32,176 --> 00:33:33,778

You know, and you'll hear this a lot.

 

1158

00:33:33,778 --> 00:33:35,046

Well well, my other floors

 

1159

00:33:35,046 --> 00:33:35,613

didn't do this.

 

1160

00:33:35,613 --> 00:33:36,981

Don't you hate that, wouldn't it?

 

1161

00:33:36,981 --> 00:33:37,982

That's one of the worst things

 

1162

00:33:37,982 --> 00:33:39,751

you could hear from a homeowner.

 

1163

00:33:39,751 --> 00:33:41,786

My other floor, blah, blah, blah,

 

1164

00:33:41,786 --> 00:33:42,553

or my other one.

 

1165

00:33:42,553 --> 00:33:43,254

We had our other floor,

 

1166

00:33:43,254 --> 00:33:44,889

especially if you sanded the floors.

 

1167

00:33:44,889 --> 00:33:46,858

In my other house. Yeah, yeah.

 

1168

00:33:46,858 --> 00:33:47,458

My other house.

 

1169

00:33:47,458 --> 00:33:48,226

They didn't do this.

 

1170

00:33:48,226 --> 00:33:50,361

Or if you sand in the floors is

 

1171

00:33:50,395 --> 00:33:51,529

yours was my other floors didn't have it.

 

1172

00:33:51,529 --> 00:33:52,563

You're the guy that sanded it,

 

1173

00:33:52,563 --> 00:33:52,897

you know,

 

1174

00:33:52,897 --> 00:33:54,866

their other floors were hammered

 

1175

00:33:54,866 --> 00:33:55,400

and you know, they're

 

1176

00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:56,200

the floor is a terrible.

 

1177

00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:57,568

What are you talking about?

 

1178

00:33:57,568 --> 00:33:58,102

You don't I mean.

 

1179

00:33:59,137 --> 00:34:00,371

I remember real quick.

 

1180

00:34:00,371 --> 00:34:02,640

You were living with urine before

 

1181

00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:03,941

I got here. Yeah.

 

1182

00:34:03,941 --> 00:34:06,210

Now you complaining about a squeak?

 

1183

00:34:06,210 --> 00:34:07,412

We had a

 

1184

00:34:07,412 --> 00:34:07,945

a floor

 

1185

00:34:07,945 --> 00:34:09,614

was pretty close to natural finish.

 

1186

00:34:09,614 --> 00:34:10,982

And then we went with a darker

 

1187

00:34:10,982 --> 00:34:13,151

like more of an antique color to it.

 

1188

00:34:13,151 --> 00:34:13,951

And when we got done

 

1189

00:34:13,951 --> 00:34:15,119

was a stain and finished, mind you,

 

1190

00:34:15,119 --> 00:34:17,388

we had installed no floors.

 

1191

00:34:17,388 --> 00:34:19,090

There was one quarter on board

 

1192

00:34:19,090 --> 00:34:20,525

in the middle of the floor

 

1193

00:34:20,525 --> 00:34:21,793

that she goes,

 

1194

00:34:21,793 --> 00:34:24,328

What happened to this board?

 

1195

00:34:24,328 --> 00:34:25,663

I go, I mean, it's just a grain.

 

1196

00:34:25,663 --> 00:34:26,431

She goes, No, no, no.

 

1197

00:34:26,431 --> 00:34:27,131

It wasn't like that.

 

1198

00:34:27,131 --> 00:34:27,765

And she's like,

 

1199

00:34:27,765 --> 00:34:29,400

You know, we got a finger up.

 

1200

00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,836

Wasn't like that before.

 

1201

00:34:31,836 --> 00:34:33,337

I said, Ma'am,

 

1202

00:34:33,337 --> 00:34:35,106

I mean, what could we have?

 

1203

00:34:35,106 --> 00:34:36,240

What could we have done to it?

 

1204

00:34:36,240 --> 00:34:37,141

We didn't see

 

1205

00:34:37,141 --> 00:34:39,043

we didn't replace any boards.

 

1206

00:34:39,043 --> 00:34:39,844

You know, you notice

 

1207

00:34:39,844 --> 00:34:41,712

the grain takes each board individually.

 

1208

00:34:41,712 --> 00:34:43,414

That's the beauty of hardwood floors.

 

1209

00:34:43,414 --> 00:34:44,282

It's, you know,

 

1210

00:34:44,282 --> 00:34:45,049

I mean,

 

1211

00:34:45,049 --> 00:34:46,951

that's why you buy hardwood floors.

 

1212

00:34:46,951 --> 00:34:47,819

But she was convinced

 

1213

00:34:47,819 --> 00:34:48,586

that we did something

 

1214

00:34:48,586 --> 00:34:50,788

to that particular board. So

 

1215

00:34:52,857 --> 00:34:54,092

so she may have been walked on

 

1216

00:34:54,092 --> 00:34:55,660

urethane floors her whole life.

 

1217

00:34:55,660 --> 00:34:55,993

And just,

 

1218

00:34:55,993 --> 00:34:56,761

you know,

 

1219

00:34:56,794 --> 00:34:58,162

the expectations, again,

 

1220

00:34:58,162 --> 00:34:59,730

go back to point of sale

 

1221

00:34:59,730 --> 00:35:01,165

where that conversation

 

1222

00:35:01,165 --> 00:35:03,134

maybe didn't happen or it happened

 

1223

00:35:03,134 --> 00:35:04,335

to where the degree

 

1224

00:35:04,335 --> 00:35:06,304

of where it needed to be

 

1225

00:35:08,139 --> 00:35:09,474

that another one is common is

 

1226

00:35:09,474 --> 00:35:11,476

we use all the recommended products

 

1227

00:35:11,642 --> 00:35:12,243

mean you know,

 

1228

00:35:12,243 --> 00:35:13,511

we know what we're supposed to use.

 

1229

00:35:13,511 --> 00:35:14,145

We've been using

 

1230

00:35:14,145 --> 00:35:17,014

what we're supposed to use, but

 

1231

00:35:17,014 --> 00:35:18,683

over the course of time,

 

1232

00:35:18,683 --> 00:35:20,151

the floors have gotten dirty

 

1233

00:35:20,151 --> 00:35:22,420

and sometimes the soil on the floor

 

1234

00:35:22,420 --> 00:35:22,920

that's been

 

1235

00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:24,355

kind of grinded into the floor

 

1236

00:35:24,355 --> 00:35:25,857

walked into the floor

 

1237

00:35:25,857 --> 00:35:27,692

when they clean the floor,

 

1238

00:35:27,692 --> 00:35:29,160

they didn't do a good enough job.

 

1239

00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:29,694

Sometimes you

 

1240

00:35:29,694 --> 00:35:30,862

got to get on your hands, knees

 

1241

00:35:30,862 --> 00:35:32,697

and really, really wipe that floor,

 

1242

00:35:32,697 --> 00:35:34,699

almost like you wiping off a stain

 

1243

00:35:34,699 --> 00:35:36,868

and to a a in,

 

1244

00:35:36,901 --> 00:35:37,768

especially when it comes

 

1245

00:35:37,768 --> 00:35:39,070

to these textured floors,

 

1246

00:35:40,471 --> 00:35:41,038

wire brush

 

1247

00:35:41,038 --> 00:35:44,075

floors, maybe hands scraped floors

 

1248

00:35:44,075 --> 00:35:46,878

that they're not cleaning them

 

1249

00:35:46,878 --> 00:35:48,112

good enough at first.

 

1250

00:35:48,112 --> 00:35:51,482

Okay, now let's get to spruce floors

 

1251

00:35:52,283 --> 00:35:52,416

there.

 

1252

00:35:52,416 --> 00:35:54,619

Two tone floors the like like a

 

1253

00:35:54,752 --> 00:35:56,087

you have a dark background

 

1254

00:35:56,087 --> 00:35:57,855

and you have a frost on top of that,

 

1255

00:35:57,855 --> 00:35:59,690

which is a very popular look.

 

1256

00:35:59,690 --> 00:36:01,025

Maybe you have a gray background

 

1257

00:36:01,025 --> 00:36:03,094

in a white on top of that,

 

1258

00:36:03,094 --> 00:36:05,163

which I love those looks,

 

1259

00:36:05,163 --> 00:36:07,765

but they are more difficult to do.

 

1260

00:36:07,765 --> 00:36:09,600

Repairs on Oak.

 

1261

00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:11,769

So it's not a bad idea

 

1262

00:36:11,769 --> 00:36:12,303

if you know

 

1263

00:36:12,303 --> 00:36:13,704

you have a high traffic areas,

 

1264

00:36:13,704 --> 00:36:15,473

a kitchen, for instance,

 

1265

00:36:15,473 --> 00:36:17,642

that they like that look.

 

1266

00:36:18,543 --> 00:36:21,345

But knowing the maintenance involved

 

1267

00:36:21,345 --> 00:36:22,413

and if you have to do a repair,

 

1268

00:36:22,413 --> 00:36:24,515

they may not live up to the expectations

 

1269

00:36:25,449 --> 00:36:26,918

going with a two component

 

1270

00:36:26,918 --> 00:36:28,886

water based finish over top of it

 

1271

00:36:30,421 --> 00:36:32,056

might be the way to go.

 

1272

00:36:32,056 --> 00:36:32,323

You know,

 

1273

00:36:32,323 --> 00:36:33,991

we have natural

 

1274

00:36:33,991 --> 00:36:36,227

we've got low very low sheen products.

 

1275

00:36:36,227 --> 00:36:37,295

And when we came out with bone,

 

1276

00:36:37,295 --> 00:36:38,763

a craft oil,

 

1277

00:36:38,763 --> 00:36:40,331

one of the things that was important

 

1278

00:36:40,331 --> 00:36:40,965

to us was

 

1279

00:36:40,965 --> 00:36:41,933

it was compatible

 

1280

00:36:41,933 --> 00:36:43,968

with our water based finish.

 

1281

00:36:43,968 --> 00:36:46,337

So that's not a bad idea

 

1282

00:36:46,337 --> 00:36:48,139

to have that conversation.

 

1283

00:36:48,139 --> 00:36:48,806

And like I said,

 

1284

00:36:48,806 --> 00:36:50,174

we talk about buyer's remorse

 

1285

00:36:50,174 --> 00:36:51,842

with this type of product.

 

1286

00:36:51,842 --> 00:36:53,611

Sometimes with their first feeling

 

1287

00:36:53,611 --> 00:36:55,179

is, wow, I really love that low

 

1288

00:36:55,179 --> 00:36:56,447

sheen look.

 

1289

00:36:56,447 --> 00:36:57,982

And then pretty soon

 

1290

00:36:57,982 --> 00:36:59,350

they go to their friends houses

 

1291

00:36:59,350 --> 00:37:00,818

that have oil floors

 

1292

00:37:00,818 --> 00:37:02,286

or little shiny or whatever.

 

1293

00:37:02,286 --> 00:37:03,487

And I certainly think to themselves

 

1294

00:37:03,487 --> 00:37:06,224

their floor looks lifeless and dull.

 

1295

00:37:06,224 --> 00:37:08,893

Well, if there is a buyer's remorse,

 

1296

00:37:09,627 --> 00:37:10,628

I know with Kraft Oil

 

1297

00:37:10,628 --> 00:37:11,796

and some other products out there,

 

1298

00:37:11,796 --> 00:37:13,130

you can recall these were the

 

1299

00:37:13,130 --> 00:37:15,866

you always use a two component water base

 

1300

00:37:15,866 --> 00:37:17,001

finish on top of these.

 

1301

00:37:18,236 --> 00:37:19,470

Well especially with the bone

 

1302

00:37:19,470 --> 00:37:22,273

system and the bone of Kraft oil and

 

1303

00:37:22,273 --> 00:37:23,241

traffic HD

 

1304

00:37:23,241 --> 00:37:24,141

they're both the nicest

 

1305

00:37:24,141 --> 00:37:25,209

iron eight hardware

 

1306

00:37:25,209 --> 00:37:26,310

so scratch

 

1307

00:37:26,310 --> 00:37:27,578

just going to stick to each other

 

1308

00:37:27,578 --> 00:37:29,480

like magnets. Yep.

 

1309

00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,282

So let's talk about maintenance

 

1310

00:37:31,282 --> 00:37:31,849

a little bit.

 

1311

00:37:31,849 --> 00:37:33,417

When we when we came out,

 

1312

00:37:33,417 --> 00:37:34,719

I remember years and years ago

 

1313

00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:35,920

when we were going to come out

 

1314

00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:37,855

with this product in America.

 

1315

00:37:37,855 --> 00:37:39,123

And we brought contractors

 

1316

00:37:39,123 --> 00:37:41,993

from the East Coast,

 

1317

00:37:42,326 --> 00:37:44,295

Miami down in Florida,

 

1318

00:37:44,295 --> 00:37:45,396

and we brought contractors

 

1319

00:37:45,396 --> 00:37:47,231

from the West coast,

 

1320

00:37:47,265 --> 00:37:48,532

San Francisco and L.A.

 

1321

00:37:48,532 --> 00:37:50,668

and we brought contractors from New York

 

1322

00:37:50,668 --> 00:37:52,837

because, you know, when when

 

1323

00:37:52,837 --> 00:37:54,138

trains happen in America,

 

1324

00:37:54,138 --> 00:37:55,172

usually the way it works,

 

1325

00:37:55,172 --> 00:37:55,873

it starts on the East

 

1326

00:37:55,873 --> 00:37:57,608

Coast, West Coast,

 

1327

00:37:57,608 --> 00:37:58,209

New York,

 

1328

00:37:58,209 --> 00:37:59,610

and it works away to middle America.

 

1329

00:37:59,610 --> 00:38:00,278

Right.

 

1330

00:38:00,611 --> 00:38:03,180

So we brought a bunch of contractors in

 

1331

00:38:03,180 --> 00:38:04,382

and these were studs.

 

1332

00:38:04,382 --> 00:38:06,050

These were phenomenal contractors

 

1333

00:38:06,050 --> 00:38:07,952

that did a lot of this type of work.

 

1334

00:38:07,952 --> 00:38:08,586

And we asked them,

 

1335

00:38:08,586 --> 00:38:09,153

what do you like

 

1336

00:38:09,153 --> 00:38:10,655

about this type of floors?

 

1337

00:38:10,655 --> 00:38:11,756

What don't you like about it?

 

1338

00:38:11,756 --> 00:38:13,658

Blah, blah, blah, the whole process.

 

1339

00:38:13,658 --> 00:38:14,692

And then the conversation

 

1340

00:38:14,692 --> 00:38:16,227

came to maintenance

 

1341

00:38:16,227 --> 00:38:18,062

and this would really kind of surprise me

 

1342

00:38:19,330 --> 00:38:20,298

or I thought some

 

1343

00:38:20,298 --> 00:38:21,232

of them would be saying, Yeah, well,

 

1344

00:38:21,232 --> 00:38:23,234

the maintenance is kind of a negative

 

1345

00:38:23,234 --> 00:38:25,269

to a man.

 

1346

00:38:25,269 --> 00:38:25,870

They said, No,

 

1347

00:38:25,870 --> 00:38:27,204

the means is one of the best things.

 

1348

00:38:27,204 --> 00:38:28,072

I mean, this, this

 

1349

00:38:28,072 --> 00:38:29,407

we love the maintenance.

 

1350

00:38:29,407 --> 00:38:32,076

This is very, really easy money

 

1351

00:38:32,076 --> 00:38:33,577

because like I said,

 

1352

00:38:33,577 --> 00:38:34,145

when that

 

1353

00:38:34,145 --> 00:38:34,945

we made such

 

1354

00:38:34,945 --> 00:38:36,147

dramatic effect

 

1355

00:38:36,147 --> 00:38:37,214

when we went to that ladies home,

 

1356

00:38:37,214 --> 00:38:38,649

they complained about it.

 

1357

00:38:38,649 --> 00:38:40,518

You know, it's two of us that spent

 

1358

00:38:40,518 --> 00:38:41,786

three quarters of a day

 

1359

00:38:41,786 --> 00:38:43,321

and really one of us could probably done

 

1360

00:38:43,321 --> 00:38:46,457

the job, you know, and

 

1361

00:38:48,259 --> 00:38:49,393

it was easy money.

 

1362

00:38:49,393 --> 00:38:50,995

It was beautiful looking.

 

1363

00:38:50,995 --> 00:38:51,896

And

 

1364

00:38:52,897 --> 00:38:54,098

so it is

 

1365

00:38:54,098 --> 00:38:55,766

I put it down in the plus column

 

1366

00:38:55,766 --> 00:38:57,068

for these type of floors.

 

1367

00:38:57,068 --> 00:38:59,103

Creates a maintenance opportunity.

 

1368

00:38:59,437 --> 00:39:02,006

Yeah.

 

1369

00:39:02,006 --> 00:39:03,474

And I'm in the same I'm in

 

1370

00:39:03,474 --> 00:39:04,675

the same boat you're in

 

1371

00:39:06,110 --> 00:39:08,212

because they're in the classes

 

1372

00:39:08,212 --> 00:39:09,647

I'm always talking about member

 

1373

00:39:09,647 --> 00:39:12,350

if you're going to sell this or apply it,

 

1374

00:39:12,750 --> 00:39:14,151

you got to talk about the maintenance.

 

1375

00:39:14,151 --> 00:39:15,953

You got to have that number.

 

1376

00:39:15,953 --> 00:39:18,456

And this one guy spoke right up.

 

1377

00:39:18,756 --> 00:39:19,824

It was in New Jersey.

 

1378

00:39:19,824 --> 00:39:21,892

He spoke right up and he's like,

 

1379

00:39:21,892 --> 00:39:23,194

I love this stuff.

 

1380

00:39:23,194 --> 00:39:24,161

He goes, I'm pushing it

 

1381

00:39:24,161 --> 00:39:26,630

like crazy reason for it.

 

1382

00:39:27,398 --> 00:39:29,166

He loved the maintenance opportunity.

 

1383

00:39:29,166 --> 00:39:29,433

Yeah,

 

1384

00:39:29,433 --> 00:39:31,569

he was doing great at it,

 

1385

00:39:31,569 --> 00:39:33,571

making great money, easy work.

 

1386

00:39:33,571 --> 00:39:36,307

He said he was selling it to the class,

 

1387

00:39:36,340 --> 00:39:36,841

not me.

 

1388

00:39:36,841 --> 00:39:40,044

So he actually he sold me on, you know,

 

1389

00:39:40,077 --> 00:39:41,712

don't think of the maintenance

 

1390

00:39:41,712 --> 00:39:43,114

opportunity as a negative.

 

1391

00:39:43,114 --> 00:39:45,316

Think of it as a positive.

 

1392

00:39:45,316 --> 00:39:49,553

Yes, I have some bonus information later.

 

1393

00:39:50,921 --> 00:39:53,491

But when you

 

1394

00:39:53,491 --> 00:39:55,292

when you clean these floors,

 

1395

00:39:55,292 --> 00:39:56,660

you don't want to these are floors.

 

1396

00:39:56,660 --> 00:39:57,661

You don't want to saturate

 

1397

00:39:57,661 --> 00:39:58,529

with a lot of water

 

1398

00:39:58,529 --> 00:39:59,230

because you know,

 

1399

00:39:59,230 --> 00:40:01,232

you start robbing the floor of oils.

 

1400

00:40:01,665 --> 00:40:03,067

If you have spills,

 

1401

00:40:03,067 --> 00:40:04,568

you can clean them up quickly.

 

1402

00:40:04,568 --> 00:40:05,202

There's cleaners

 

1403

00:40:05,202 --> 00:40:08,272

you can use for these products,

 

1404

00:40:08,272 --> 00:40:10,174

and that's pretty much

 

1405

00:40:10,174 --> 00:40:11,108

if something goes wrong

 

1406

00:40:11,108 --> 00:40:13,144

with these floors.

 

1407

00:40:13,144 --> 00:40:14,879

It's usually one of those things.

 

1408

00:40:14,879 --> 00:40:17,047

And like I said, nine times out of ten,

 

1409

00:40:17,047 --> 00:40:18,482

it's maintenance related.

 

1410

00:40:18,482 --> 00:40:19,817

I wanted to talk about this a little bit.

 

1411

00:40:19,817 --> 00:40:21,852

Last one of the last episodes,

 

1412

00:40:21,852 --> 00:40:23,354

we had Kevin Peterson on

 

1413

00:40:24,622 --> 00:40:25,856

a retailer

 

1414

00:40:25,856 --> 00:40:26,557

contract there

 

1415

00:40:26,557 --> 00:40:28,592

extraordinaire up in Canada

 

1416

00:40:28,592 --> 00:40:29,794

who did a great job talking.

 

1417

00:40:29,794 --> 00:40:30,895

We had a really good discussion

 

1418

00:40:30,895 --> 00:40:32,229

about retail,

 

1419

00:40:32,229 --> 00:40:34,799

and I also got a lot of good feedback

 

1420

00:40:34,799 --> 00:40:35,833

on that from contractors.

 

1421

00:40:35,833 --> 00:40:36,767

What have you.

 

1422

00:40:36,767 --> 00:40:37,935

But there's we didn't get to

 

1423

00:40:37,935 --> 00:40:39,904

everything I wanted to talk about

 

1424

00:40:39,904 --> 00:40:41,739

and in the interest of time.

 

1425

00:40:41,739 --> 00:40:42,673

So there's a

 

1426

00:40:42,673 --> 00:40:43,407

there's a couple of things

 

1427

00:40:43,407 --> 00:40:48,446

I wanted to say.

 

1428

00:40:48,446 --> 00:40:48,679

You know,

 

1429

00:40:48,679 --> 00:40:49,580

we talk about

 

1430

00:40:49,580 --> 00:40:50,114

a lot of times

 

1431

00:40:50,114 --> 00:40:51,248

when you have homeowners,

 

1432

00:40:51,248 --> 00:40:53,651

you offer a good, better, best.

 

1433

00:40:53,651 --> 00:40:54,485

Just one thing

 

1434

00:40:54,485 --> 00:40:55,286

that was interesting

 

1435

00:40:55,286 --> 00:40:57,621

when I was talking to somebody else

 

1436

00:40:58,322 --> 00:40:59,223

where they said, let's say

 

1437

00:40:59,223 --> 00:41:01,358

you have a low end product

 

1438

00:41:01,358 --> 00:41:02,726

and that low end product,

 

1439

00:41:02,726 --> 00:41:03,327

is it

 

1440

00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:04,094

at $1

 

1441

00:41:04,094 --> 00:41:05,830

just to just throw around

 

1442

00:41:05,830 --> 00:41:06,897

numbers out there?

 

1443

00:41:06,897 --> 00:41:08,566

You know, the homeowner sees this break.

 

1444

00:41:08,566 --> 00:41:09,767

You want low end product.

 

1445

00:41:09,767 --> 00:41:11,368

Here it is. It's $1.

 

1446

00:41:11,368 --> 00:41:12,736

And here here's our high end

 

1447

00:41:12,736 --> 00:41:14,738

product is at $5.

 

1448

00:41:14,738 --> 00:41:16,106

So if they meet the middle, the

 

1449

00:41:16,106 --> 00:41:17,041

the mid range product

 

1450

00:41:17,041 --> 00:41:18,576

is going to be around $3 a square foot.

 

1451

00:41:18,576 --> 00:41:18,943

Okay.

 

1452

00:41:20,077 --> 00:41:20,945

So but

 

1453

00:41:20,945 --> 00:41:23,547

let's say instead of doing that, you,

 

1454

00:41:23,547 --> 00:41:26,484

your low end product was $1

 

1455

00:41:27,284 --> 00:41:29,420

and your high end product was $13,

 

1456

00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:31,689

the mid range product would be now

 

1457

00:41:31,689 --> 00:41:33,057

$7 a foot.

 

1458

00:41:33,057 --> 00:41:34,692

You see what I'm saying?

 

1459

00:41:34,692 --> 00:41:37,461

So just by a strategy of your pricing

 

1460

00:41:37,962 --> 00:41:38,429

can make

 

1461

00:41:38,429 --> 00:41:39,797

a hell of a difference

 

1462

00:41:39,797 --> 00:41:42,333

at the end of the year on on

 

1463

00:41:42,333 --> 00:41:43,200

you know, it

 

1464

00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:44,535

just changes the whole perspective

 

1465

00:41:44,535 --> 00:41:45,903

and conversation.

 

1466

00:41:45,903 --> 00:41:48,138

We're now, you know, $13.

 

1467

00:41:48,272 --> 00:41:49,940

Wow, that's a lot of money.

 

1468

00:41:49,940 --> 00:41:51,542

But $7 sounds a whole lot

 

1469

00:41:51,542 --> 00:41:52,176

better than that.

 

1470

00:41:52,176 --> 00:41:54,078

That's that's yeah, we can afford that.

 

1471

00:41:54,078 --> 00:41:55,913

Well, also, a dollar sounds like.

 

1472

00:41:55,913 --> 00:41:56,881

Why would I ever put

 

1473

00:41:56,881 --> 00:41:57,848

anything in my house?

 

1474

00:41:57,848 --> 00:41:59,416

It was for a buck.

 

1475

00:41:59,416 --> 00:41:59,717

True.

 

1476

00:41:59,717 --> 00:42:02,653

But I'm just using, you know,

 

1477

00:42:02,653 --> 00:42:03,354

round number numbers

 

1478

00:42:03,354 --> 00:42:04,822

just for, for example.

 

1479

00:42:04,822 --> 00:42:05,823

No, I get what you mean.

 

1480

00:42:05,823 --> 00:42:08,726

But if it's that crazy I'm looking at,

 

1481

00:42:09,159 --> 00:42:09,760

that's

 

1482

00:42:10,027 --> 00:42:12,162

that's got to be a cheap, cheap product.

 

1483

00:42:12,162 --> 00:42:13,097

I wouldn't want

 

1484

00:42:13,097 --> 00:42:15,266

if it's that much of a ratio.

 

1485

00:42:15,633 --> 00:42:16,400

Correct. Yeah.

 

1486

00:42:18,168 --> 00:42:19,603

It's nothing nothing like to

 

1487

00:42:19,603 --> 00:42:21,071

when someone guide you to use

 

1488

00:42:21,071 --> 00:42:22,006

to the cheap products

 

1489

00:42:22,006 --> 00:42:22,740

without even knowing

 

1490

00:42:22,740 --> 00:42:27,545

what your expectations are.

 

1491

00:42:27,545 --> 00:42:29,647

My friends went to,

 

1492

00:42:29,647 --> 00:42:30,981

my friends went to

 

1493

00:42:30,981 --> 00:42:33,017

they're young kids, but they're nurses.

 

1494

00:42:33,017 --> 00:42:34,618

They got they got it going on.

 

1495

00:42:34,618 --> 00:42:35,019

They're young

 

1496

00:42:35,019 --> 00:42:36,654

and they got a lot of money.

 

1497

00:42:36,654 --> 00:42:38,255

And they were in

 

1498

00:42:38,689 --> 00:42:41,392

Florida in one of those lulus

 

1499

00:42:41,425 --> 00:42:44,094

or one of those, you know, shops.

 

1500

00:42:44,094 --> 00:42:44,395

It all

 

1501

00:42:44,395 --> 00:42:45,563

all the people are shopping

 

1502

00:42:45,563 --> 00:42:47,865

and they're expensive, you know.

 

1503

00:42:48,165 --> 00:42:49,867

And the sales lady brought them right

 

1504

00:42:49,867 --> 00:42:50,601

to the

 

1505

00:42:50,601 --> 00:42:51,902

to the racks of where

 

1506

00:42:51,902 --> 00:42:53,671

everything was on sale.

 

1507

00:42:54,171 --> 00:42:56,507

I mean, and they were insulted by it,

 

1508

00:42:56,507 --> 00:42:57,541

you know what I mean?

 

1509

00:42:57,541 --> 00:43:00,177

So that was pretty funny.

 

1510

00:43:00,177 --> 00:43:02,212

Didn't the car salesman do that to you?

 

1511

00:43:02,212 --> 00:43:03,180

I talk about that.

 

1512

00:43:03,180 --> 00:43:04,415

I was going to use it as an example,

 

1513

00:43:04,415 --> 00:43:05,849

but I think I've talked about so much.

 

1514

00:43:05,849 --> 00:43:07,451

But yeah, you've done that one a lot.

 

1515

00:43:07,451 --> 00:43:07,685

Yeah.

 

1516

00:43:07,685 --> 00:43:08,719

He looked at you and said,

 

1517

00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:10,154

Oh, this guy's a bum.

 

1518

00:43:10,154 --> 00:43:12,122

Yeah. Here's a. Cheap jobs.

 

1519

00:43:12,122 --> 00:43:13,857

And you stuff over here.

 

1520

00:43:13,857 --> 00:43:15,559

Yeah. Yeah. So

 

1521

00:43:16,860 --> 00:43:18,862

the second thing is

 

1522

00:43:19,029 --> 00:43:20,197

changing your website.

 

1523

00:43:20,197 --> 00:43:22,199

And a big one that really helped

 

1524

00:43:22,199 --> 00:43:24,034

a lot of guys is changing the web

 

1525

00:43:24,034 --> 00:43:25,169

to texting

 

1526

00:43:25,169 --> 00:43:25,536

the Web

 

1527

00:43:25,536 --> 00:43:29,073

to text messaging on their website.

 

1528

00:43:29,173 --> 00:43:31,709

That's a nice option to really

 

1529

00:43:31,709 --> 00:43:33,711

keep the clients there longer

 

1530

00:43:34,211 --> 00:43:36,080

and to engage with them

 

1531

00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:36,914

a whole lot

 

1532

00:43:36,914 --> 00:43:38,983

better than not having that that process.

 

1533

00:43:39,783 --> 00:43:40,951

And the last thing is,

 

1534

00:43:40,951 --> 00:43:42,953

I've talked about this book before,

 

1535

00:43:42,953 --> 00:43:44,788

but I heard another person talk about it.

 

1536

00:43:44,788 --> 00:43:45,689

The book that changed

 

1537

00:43:45,689 --> 00:43:48,392

their life is the E-Myth book.

 

1538

00:43:48,592 --> 00:43:51,528

So there's E-Myth Revisited.

 

1539

00:43:51,528 --> 00:43:52,930

I can't say enough about that book.

 

1540

00:43:52,930 --> 00:43:55,799

It really was, you know, it

 

1541

00:43:55,799 --> 00:43:56,133

it was

 

1542

00:43:56,133 --> 00:43:58,035

I was like 25 years in the business

 

1543

00:43:58,035 --> 00:43:59,503

before I read that book.

 

1544

00:43:59,503 --> 00:44:00,270

And I have to say this,

 

1545

00:44:00,270 --> 00:44:00,871

the one book that

 

1546

00:44:00,871 --> 00:44:01,939

changed everything for me

 

1547

00:44:03,540 --> 00:44:05,109

and another

 

1548

00:44:05,342 --> 00:44:07,211

book because

 

1549

00:44:07,211 --> 00:44:09,513

when I read that book, every single page

 

1550

00:44:09,513 --> 00:44:10,180

I was turning

 

1551

00:44:10,180 --> 00:44:16,186

was making me sick to my stomach.

 

1552

00:44:16,186 --> 00:44:18,589

And I

 

1553

00:44:19,923 --> 00:44:22,292

because I was the guy in the book

 

1554

00:44:22,292 --> 00:44:24,762

and I told the story before

 

1555

00:44:24,862 --> 00:44:26,530

I met this retailer.

 

1556

00:44:26,530 --> 00:44:27,765

Very not a retailer,

 

1557

00:44:27,765 --> 00:44:29,199

a distributor, very,

 

1558

00:44:29,199 --> 00:44:34,004

very successful distributor.

 

1559

00:44:34,004 --> 00:44:35,639

And he told me he goes, you know what?

 

1560

00:44:35,639 --> 00:44:38,942

I was 20 years out in the business.

 

1561

00:44:38,942 --> 00:44:41,011

I wanted to have two or three stores.

 

1562

00:44:41,011 --> 00:44:42,079

I wanted to be more successful.

 

1563

00:44:42,079 --> 00:44:43,380

But I had it at the point

 

1564

00:44:43,380 --> 00:44:45,482

when I realized, well, I'm just I'm just

 

1565

00:44:46,083 --> 00:44:46,583

I'm never going

 

1566

00:44:46,583 --> 00:44:47,885

to have more than one store.

 

1567

00:44:47,885 --> 00:44:49,620

So this is what it is.

 

1568

00:44:49,620 --> 00:44:51,522

And a guy came by and visit

 

1569

00:44:51,522 --> 00:44:53,057

him and said, look,

 

1570

00:44:53,057 --> 00:44:55,092

this guy is doing a seminar

 

1571

00:44:55,092 --> 00:44:57,327

this Friday, if you'd like to come by.

 

1572

00:44:57,327 --> 00:44:57,861

And

 

1573

00:44:58,862 --> 00:44:59,396

he goes, I

 

1574

00:44:59,396 --> 00:45:02,599

blew the kid off because, you know,

 

1575

00:45:02,666 --> 00:45:03,267

he's a young kid.

 

1576

00:45:03,267 --> 00:45:04,101

What are you going to teach me?

 

1577

00:45:04,101 --> 00:45:05,402

He's right out of college

 

1578

00:45:05,402 --> 00:45:06,637

and the guy goes, No, you really

 

1579

00:45:06,637 --> 00:45:07,171

if somehow

 

1580

00:45:07,171 --> 00:45:07,871

he convinced the guy

 

1581

00:45:07,871 --> 00:45:10,674

to go to the convention, well,

 

1582

00:45:11,008 --> 00:45:12,576

it was about this book.

 

1583

00:45:12,576 --> 00:45:13,944

The guy bought the book

 

1584

00:45:13,944 --> 00:45:14,812

and now he doesn't know.

 

1585

00:45:14,812 --> 00:45:15,446

I read the book.

 

1586

00:45:15,446 --> 00:45:16,613

He's telling me this story.

 

1587

00:45:16,613 --> 00:45:18,749

I've never said anything about this book.

 

1588

00:45:18,749 --> 00:45:19,616

And this guy said so

 

1589

00:45:19,616 --> 00:45:21,585

I bought the book, that E-Myth book,

 

1590

00:45:21,585 --> 00:45:23,320

and he says word for word. What?

 

1591

00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:25,622

I said, he goes, Wayne,

 

1592

00:45:25,756 --> 00:45:27,157

at every turn of the page.

 

1593

00:45:27,157 --> 00:45:29,326

I was getting sick to my stomach

 

1594

00:45:29,326 --> 00:45:31,662

because I was the same guy in that book.

 

1595

00:45:31,662 --> 00:45:33,530

I said, I cannot believe it.

 

1596

00:45:33,530 --> 00:45:34,331

I can't believe

 

1597

00:45:34,331 --> 00:45:35,999

you're saying that right now.

 

1598

00:45:35,999 --> 00:45:36,600

He goes, Why?

 

1599

00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:38,102

I said, Because I had the exact

 

1600

00:45:38,102 --> 00:45:38,902

same experience.

 

1601

00:45:39,870 --> 00:45:41,205

So it talks

 

1602

00:45:41,205 --> 00:45:42,873

about being able to scale

 

1603

00:45:42,873 --> 00:45:44,274

and how to grow and what have you.

 

1604

00:45:44,274 --> 00:45:44,875

So

 

1605

00:45:46,643 --> 00:45:49,680

the last book is a book called Traction.

 

1606

00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:53,517

I, I met a guy in a, in a

 

1607

00:45:54,752 --> 00:45:57,121

presentation who said,

 

1608

00:45:57,121 --> 00:45:57,921

and this guy is

 

1609

00:45:57,921 --> 00:46:00,324

but multiple, multiple stores,

 

1610

00:46:01,258 --> 00:46:03,327

retail stores, over $10 million apiece.

 

1611

00:46:03,794 --> 00:46:04,928

And he said by far

 

1612

00:46:04,928 --> 00:46:05,462

and away,

 

1613

00:46:05,462 --> 00:46:07,231

the best book he's ever wrote

 

1614

00:46:07,231 --> 00:46:08,265

is for business

 

1615

00:46:08,265 --> 00:46:09,867

is a book called Traction.

 

1616

00:46:09,867 --> 00:46:11,001

So there you go.

 

1617

00:46:11,001 --> 00:46:12,136

I just want to throw those out there

 

1618

00:46:12,136 --> 00:46:13,170

because

 

1619

00:46:13,704 --> 00:46:15,906

it might help somebody somewhere.

 

1620

00:46:15,906 --> 00:46:16,473

And I

 

1621

00:46:16,473 --> 00:46:17,941

also the retail episode

 

1622

00:46:17,941 --> 00:46:20,344

I want people to take away is a negative

 

1623

00:46:20,344 --> 00:46:23,247

that, you know, what's the point?

 

1624

00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:24,414

I mean, it's too hard to do

 

1625

00:46:24,414 --> 00:46:24,982

and what have you

 

1626

00:46:24,982 --> 00:46:25,682

because obviously

 

1627

00:46:25,682 --> 00:46:27,751

some people are wildly successful at it.

 

1628

00:46:28,018 --> 00:46:32,222

So there you go.

 

1629

00:46:32,222 --> 00:46:33,757

Did you want to run one more time

 

1630

00:46:33,757 --> 00:46:35,492

before the episode is over or.

 

1631

00:46:35,492 --> 00:46:36,994

Oh, I'm good. No.

 

1632

00:46:36,994 --> 00:46:38,762

Yeah. Oh, good. Yeah.

 

1633

00:46:38,762 --> 00:46:40,864

Move some papers around maybe.

 

1634

00:46:40,864 --> 00:46:42,232

No, no.

 

1635

00:46:42,232 --> 00:46:42,466

Yeah,

 

1636

00:46:42,466 --> 00:46:43,667

I think that was you moving

 

1637

00:46:43,667 --> 00:46:45,102

papers around.

 

1638

00:46:45,202 --> 00:46:47,504

Well, it could have been both of us,

 

1639

00:46:47,504 --> 00:46:48,705

but mine were actually for.

 

1640

00:46:48,705 --> 00:46:51,341

Years were very, very important.

 

1641

00:46:51,341 --> 00:46:53,110

Yeah, right.

 

1642

00:46:53,110 --> 00:46:53,877

I get it.

 

1643

00:46:53,877 --> 00:46:58,816

We all get it.

 

1644

00:46:58,816 --> 00:46:59,583

My important.

 

1645

00:46:59,583 --> 00:47:01,385

My papers were important years. Yeah.

 

1646

00:47:01,385 --> 00:47:02,352

Your papers are always

 

1647

00:47:02,352 --> 00:47:03,387

more important than mine.

 

1648

00:47:03,387 --> 00:47:03,921

Yes. Yeah.

 

1649

00:47:03,921 --> 00:47:05,622

Thank you. Well, thank you, Rob.

 

1650

00:47:05,622 --> 00:47:06,723

I even wrote down the books

 

1651

00:47:06,723 --> 00:47:08,392

that I'll never read.

 

1652

00:47:08,392 --> 00:47:10,260

How do you spell traction now?

 

1653

00:47:10,260 --> 00:47:11,662

You don't have to tell me.

 

1654

00:47:11,662 --> 00:47:14,031

T r ac tio when.

 

1655

00:47:14,331 --> 00:47:16,567

You got it. Okay.

 

1656

00:47:16,567 --> 00:47:17,634

Sorry I did that to you.

 

1657

00:47:17,634 --> 00:47:19,002

That was insulting.

 

1658

00:47:19,002 --> 00:47:21,004

I got to bell on that one.

 

1659

00:47:21,538 --> 00:47:22,172

You know, I

 

1660

00:47:23,240 --> 00:47:25,442

speaking of that, I saw a video

 

1661

00:47:26,543 --> 00:47:28,712

the other day and it

 

1662

00:47:28,712 --> 00:47:29,913

you could probably relate to this

 

1663

00:47:29,913 --> 00:47:31,548

because you coached

 

1664

00:47:32,216 --> 00:47:34,484

this guy said when you know

 

1665

00:47:34,484 --> 00:47:35,986

he coaches little league

 

1666

00:47:35,986 --> 00:47:37,955

and when players would show up late

 

1667

00:47:37,955 --> 00:47:39,289

for Little League,

 

1668

00:47:39,423 --> 00:47:41,091

he would always be little because.

 

1669

00:47:41,091 --> 00:47:42,659

Oh, yeah, you're finally here.

 

1670

00:47:42,659 --> 00:47:44,394

Well, nice to have you here,

 

1671

00:47:44,394 --> 00:47:45,529

you know, blah, blah, blah.

 

1672

00:47:45,529 --> 00:47:48,065

And he would make a run laps or whatever.

 

1673

00:47:48,632 --> 00:47:50,434

And then he started realizing

 

1674

00:47:50,434 --> 00:47:52,803

that kid had no it's his parents

 

1675

00:47:52,803 --> 00:47:53,670

that brought on their league.

 

1676

00:47:53,670 --> 00:47:55,205

Wasn't the kid's fault.

 

1677

00:47:55,205 --> 00:47:56,907

So instead of

 

1678

00:47:56,940 --> 00:47:58,141

instead of belittling the kids

 

1679

00:47:58,141 --> 00:47:59,009

for being late,

 

1680

00:47:59,009 --> 00:48:00,143

he would

 

1681

00:48:00,344 --> 00:48:00,811

say, look,

 

1682

00:48:00,811 --> 00:48:01,812

at least when you get out of the car,

 

1683

00:48:01,812 --> 00:48:02,946

run the practice. All right.

 

1684

00:48:02,946 --> 00:48:04,147

We're happy to have you here,

 

1685

00:48:04,147 --> 00:48:05,315

but do the do me a favor

 

1686

00:48:05,315 --> 00:48:07,351

and run the practice from the car.

 

1687

00:48:07,351 --> 00:48:08,185

And that was it.

 

1688

00:48:08,185 --> 00:48:09,086

And he stopped

 

1689

00:48:09,086 --> 00:48:10,888

he stopped being like passive aggressive

 

1690

00:48:10,888 --> 00:48:12,456

like that. So

 

1691

00:48:14,658 --> 00:48:15,025

there you go.

 

1692

00:48:15,025 --> 00:48:16,226

I hope you learn something from that.

 

1693

00:48:16,226 --> 00:48:17,127

Yeah. Yeah.

 

1694

00:48:17,127 --> 00:48:21,632

Thanks again.

 

1695

00:48:21,632 --> 00:48:22,132

Why?

 

1696

00:48:22,132 --> 00:48:23,166

Why would anybody yell

 

1697

00:48:23,166 --> 00:48:24,468

at a 12 year old for being late?

 

1698

00:48:24,468 --> 00:48:26,837

Of course it's the parents. Yeah.

 

1699

00:48:26,837 --> 00:48:27,571

All right.

 

1700

00:48:27,571 --> 00:48:30,874

It's yes. There you go.

 

1701

00:48:30,874 --> 00:48:31,541

What else do I know?

 

1702

00:48:31,541 --> 00:48:32,709

I was going to throw in a recipe

 

1703

00:48:32,709 --> 00:48:34,745

I learned the other day for for

 

1704

00:48:34,745 --> 00:48:35,412

crumb cakes,

 

1705

00:48:35,412 --> 00:48:39,516

but I think I'll stop right there.

 

1706

00:48:39,516 --> 00:48:40,951

All right, Rob, listen,

 

1707

00:48:40,951 --> 00:48:41,685

this is the last time

 

1708

00:48:41,685 --> 00:48:44,288

I'm going to see you before Thanksgiving.

 

1709

00:48:45,188 --> 00:48:47,391

I know you guys.

 

1710

00:48:47,457 --> 00:48:48,458

This is a great holiday

 

1711

00:48:48,458 --> 00:48:49,626
