00:00:18,943 --> 00:00:19,063

So I don't even know what
is, this comes off the

18
00:00:25,368 --> 00:00:25,968
top of my head.

00:00:30,708 --> 00:00:31,278
You know what?

22
00:00:31,278 --> 00:00:31,578
Yeah.

23
00:00:31,578 --> 00:00:32,928
Amanda COOs has got that down.

24
00:00:32,958 --> 00:00:33,438
That's true.

25
00:00:33,438 --> 00:00:34,038
We just need to

26
00:00:34,038 --> 00:00:35,208
take pointers from her.

27
00:00:35,268 --> 00:00:36,228
We are with.

Thanks for having me.

Yeah, of course.

36
00:00:46,308 --> 00:00:47,208
We're happy to have you.

37
00:00:47,358 --> 00:00:48,798
I know you got a burning question.

38
00:00:48,798 --> 00:00:48,918
I

39
00:00:48,918 --> 00:00:52,248
do know not my, I mean, really, I just
wanna get to the business, like Yeah,

40
00:00:52,248 --> 00:00:52,998
let's do it.

41
00:00:53,208 --> 00:00:54,828
Like painting.

42
00:00:55,158 --> 00:00:55,278
Yeah.

43
00:00:55,998 --> 00:00:57,048
Everybody thinks they can paint.

44
00:00:57,378 --> 00:00:58,218
Sure, sure, sure.

45
00:00:58,223 --> 00:01:00,138
Everybody, everybody can,
everybody can right it.

46
00:01:00,138 --> 00:01:04,518
It's in the eye of the beholder at the
end of the day, so, so what are you doing?

47
00:01:04,518 --> 00:01:09,033
I. What problem are you solving for
the business or for people out there?

48
00:01:09,088 --> 00:01:12,573
Oh, I'm going right off the
bat to the business You are.

49
00:01:13,023 --> 00:01:15,003
'cause what are you doing that
the other painters aren't?

50
00:01:15,513 --> 00:01:15,963
Well,

51
00:01:15,963 --> 00:01:20,163
I, I think what separates us at
the end of the day is I understand

52
00:01:20,163 --> 00:01:21,063
what these chemicals are.

53
00:01:21,063 --> 00:01:21,198
I. Mmm.

54
00:01:21,708 --> 00:01:22,068
Um,

55
00:01:22,068 --> 00:01:24,258
I came from an industrial
painting background.

56
00:01:24,288 --> 00:01:24,318
Okay.

57
00:01:24,438 --> 00:01:30,288
So I was working for an industrial painter
sand blaster working on concrete mixers.

58
00:01:30,288 --> 00:01:31,698
We were working on water towers.

59
00:01:31,698 --> 00:01:35,118
We were working on huge, big
pieces of metal that required

60
00:01:35,118 --> 00:01:38,418
coatings that protected the
surface for X amount of years.

61
00:01:38,508 --> 00:01:38,808
Yeah.

62
00:01:38,928 --> 00:01:42,948
And uh, when I was doing that, I got
into homes and I realized that the

63
00:01:42,948 --> 00:01:45,258
chemicals are pretty much all the same.

64
00:01:45,258 --> 00:01:46,038
They're just acrylics.

65
00:01:46,368 --> 00:01:48,858
You know, there's a lot of labels
to kind of help the homeowner.

66
00:01:48,858 --> 00:01:52,638
The DIY person understand what
these are for interior and exterior.

67
00:01:52,683 --> 00:01:57,123
But what separates me is I know
what substrate requires web coating

68
00:01:57,243 --> 00:01:59,823
that's gonna last the longest for
you and it's gonna look the best.

69
00:02:00,303 --> 00:02:00,873
So yeah.

70
00:02:00,933 --> 00:02:01,113
'cause I

71
00:02:01,113 --> 00:02:02,673
have one of those nightmare houses.

72
00:02:02,673 --> 00:02:03,033
Right.

73
00:02:03,033 --> 00:02:06,363
That's like the stucco in Utah,
like that is a different material

74
00:02:06,363 --> 00:02:07,683
you gotta use on that, right?

75
00:02:07,713 --> 00:02:07,773
Yeah.

76
00:02:07,773 --> 00:02:12,423
Versus the other siding that is out
there, I forget what it's called.

77
00:02:12,423 --> 00:02:12,963
Hardy board.

78
00:02:12,963 --> 00:02:13,473
What's it called?

79
00:02:13,833 --> 00:02:14,253
Hardy board.

80
00:02:14,253 --> 00:02:15,393
I mean, there's some variations

81
00:02:15,393 --> 00:02:17,973
to it, but cement fiber board
is what they call it, right?

82
00:02:17,973 --> 00:02:17,974
Yeah.

83
00:02:17,979 --> 00:02:18,168
Okay.

84
00:02:18,388 --> 00:02:18,608
You

85
00:02:18,608 --> 00:02:19,928
said you painted water towers?

86
00:02:19,998 --> 00:02:20,288
Yeah.

87
00:02:20,933 --> 00:02:23,993
You climbed up, you shuffled
up these things and No.

88
00:02:23,993 --> 00:02:25,583
So they put you in
something called a casket.

89
00:02:25,588 --> 00:02:25,758
Okay.

90
00:02:26,818 --> 00:02:27,438
Oh, okay.

91
00:02:27,688 --> 00:02:28,643
Might as well, right?

92
00:02:28,643 --> 00:02:33,023
Because if you fall, yeah, that's exactly
what it's, so it's in a crane and they

93
00:02:33,023 --> 00:02:36,053
lift you up in this big crane and you
would be swinging off it because there's

94
00:02:36,053 --> 00:02:39,743
only so much of the water tower you
can actually get and you can climb to.

95
00:02:39,983 --> 00:02:40,133
Okay.

96
00:02:40,338 --> 00:02:44,383
So a lot of it you gotta do from a. Casket
off a cream is kind of a pain in the butt.

97
00:02:44,383 --> 00:02:45,043
We're a man left.

98
00:02:45,043 --> 00:02:45,373
So you're

99
00:02:45,373 --> 00:02:46,633
not afraid of heights then?

100
00:02:46,998 --> 00:02:48,223
I I kind of am.

101
00:02:48,373 --> 00:02:48,433
Yeah.

102
00:02:49,058 --> 00:02:50,198
You get over it, you deal with it.

103
00:02:50,198 --> 00:02:50,678
You get used to it.

104
00:02:50,748 --> 00:02:51,038
Yeah.

105
00:02:51,043 --> 00:02:51,343
Yeah.

106
00:02:51,343 --> 00:02:54,133
Have problems with vertigo
afterwards, but, oh my gosh.

107
00:02:54,133 --> 00:02:55,063
You know, that's just how it's sound.

108
00:02:55,063 --> 00:02:56,143
Like something you wanna take up.

109
00:02:56,148 --> 00:02:56,358
Oh,

110
00:02:56,358 --> 00:02:56,638
hey, I,

111
00:02:56,738 --> 00:02:57,558
I'm not ready, afraid of heights.

112
00:02:57,778 --> 00:02:58,958
Oh no I'm not.

113
00:02:59,323 --> 00:02:59,893
Oh my gosh.

114
00:02:59,893 --> 00:03:00,313
I know.

115
00:03:00,313 --> 00:03:01,123
I'm terrified.

116
00:03:01,153 --> 00:03:01,718
No, I'm awful.

117
00:03:01,778 --> 00:03:02,238
Oh my gosh.

118
00:03:02,238 --> 00:03:02,558
You'd

119
00:03:02,558 --> 00:03:03,703
be surprised how many people are Yeah.

120
00:03:03,733 --> 00:03:06,163
Especially new hires that come
in and you tell 'em, Hey, you

121
00:03:06,163 --> 00:03:06,838
have to get on the ladder.

122
00:03:07,248 --> 00:03:08,418
You gotta get on someone's roof.

123
00:03:08,418 --> 00:03:10,293
You have a very deep, very

124
00:03:10,353 --> 00:03:10,573
cut.

125
00:03:10,573 --> 00:03:10,853
Yeah.

126
00:03:10,858 --> 00:03:11,688
You still gotta get up

127
00:03:11,688 --> 00:03:12,888
there, you still have to do it.

128
00:03:12,888 --> 00:03:15,018
And a lot of people are like, yeah,
I can do it until they get up to

129
00:03:15,018 --> 00:03:15,978
it and they're just shaking and

130
00:03:15,978 --> 00:03:17,328
three stories up and yeah.

131
00:03:17,508 --> 00:03:19,608
So do you do commercial and residential?

132
00:03:19,608 --> 00:03:22,308
Tell me a little bit more about
platinum painting and what you guys do.

133
00:03:22,308 --> 00:03:22,368
So

134
00:03:22,458 --> 00:03:27,048
my company primarily focuses on, uh,
high-end residential and repaint.

135
00:03:27,048 --> 00:03:28,428
So like custom work, right?

136
00:03:28,668 --> 00:03:28,758
Mm-hmm.

137
00:03:28,998 --> 00:03:31,998
Um, doesn't matter if it's big or small,
but it's more of a custom outlook.

138
00:03:31,998 --> 00:03:32,088
Mm-hmm.

139
00:03:32,328 --> 00:03:34,728
I was into the new construction
game, I was into, uh.

140
00:03:35,073 --> 00:03:39,483
Uh, spec homes and now we primarily
focus on redoing the coating

141
00:03:39,543 --> 00:03:40,623
after it's been initially done.

142
00:03:40,863 --> 00:03:41,313
Okay.

143
00:03:41,313 --> 00:03:41,553
So

144
00:03:41,553 --> 00:03:42,693
that's the primary of it.

145
00:03:42,693 --> 00:03:43,983
We do do commercial work too.

146
00:03:44,073 --> 00:03:44,373
Yep.

147
00:03:44,463 --> 00:03:46,533
But that's all old
commercial buildings as well.

148
00:03:46,713 --> 00:03:47,193
Okay.

149
00:03:47,258 --> 00:03:50,973
So, so are you the person that
I call for all of the daybreak

150
00:03:50,973 --> 00:03:53,073
houses that get the HOA letter?

151
00:03:53,073 --> 00:03:53,343
Absolutely.

152
00:03:53,343 --> 00:03:53,553
Okay.

153
00:03:53,553 --> 00:03:55,413
So you want all of that business too.

154
00:03:55,623 --> 00:03:57,093
You got those code, those, those.

155
00:03:57,223 --> 00:04:00,043
Um, their colors are in codes.

156
00:04:00,673 --> 00:04:00,763
Yes.

157
00:04:00,763 --> 00:04:00,826
Have you seen it?

158
00:04:00,826 --> 00:04:00,827
Mm-hmm.

159
00:04:00,832 --> 00:04:01,573
You got all that?

160
00:04:01,693 --> 00:04:02,083
Oh yeah.

161
00:04:02,083 --> 00:04:02,623
Absolutely.

162
00:04:02,623 --> 00:04:03,523
And it's a process.

163
00:04:03,523 --> 00:04:05,773
So what we do, you are the homeowner.

164
00:04:05,773 --> 00:04:05,863
Mm-hmm.

165
00:04:05,863 --> 00:04:08,503
You call us up and we'll
actually take that application.

166
00:04:08,503 --> 00:04:09,223
We'll do it for you.

167
00:04:09,523 --> 00:04:09,613
Oh.

168
00:04:09,613 --> 00:04:11,788
And we'll turn into the H OA
and we'll deal with the H oa.

169
00:04:11,888 --> 00:04:12,108
You

170
00:04:12,108 --> 00:04:12,348
hear this,

171
00:04:12,448 --> 00:04:14,233
the H OA is still gonna call you.

172
00:04:14,238 --> 00:04:14,348
Yeah.

173
00:04:14,508 --> 00:04:15,523
Communicate with the homeowner.

174
00:04:15,523 --> 00:04:15,853
Right.

175
00:04:15,863 --> 00:04:16,793
But I'm gonna go over there.

176
00:04:16,793 --> 00:04:18,893
I'm gonna play nice to them,
but like, come on please.

177
00:04:18,893 --> 00:04:20,033
So you know them already.

178
00:04:20,033 --> 00:04:21,508
Basically you work relationship.

179
00:04:21,668 --> 00:04:21,983
I know

180
00:04:21,983 --> 00:04:24,083
somebody that actually likes the HOA.

181
00:04:24,113 --> 00:04:25,883
Okay, I'm gonna get in trouble for that

182
00:04:26,483 --> 00:04:26,573
one.

183
00:04:26,573 --> 00:04:28,253
I mean, usually it's me talking about

184
00:04:30,138 --> 00:04:30,628
reverse

185
00:04:30,798 --> 00:04:31,148
Today.

186
00:04:32,363 --> 00:04:33,533
They're a process as you know.

187
00:04:33,558 --> 00:04:34,488
They process.

188
00:04:34,758 --> 00:04:36,108
So we just, we do all that for you.

189
00:04:36,108 --> 00:04:40,338
We take all the pictures of the homes,
we put 'em on, uh, the Word document.

190
00:04:40,338 --> 00:04:41,718
We make a nice PDF for 'em.

191
00:04:41,718 --> 00:04:43,818
We follow everything
to their instructions.

192
00:04:43,968 --> 00:04:44,448
Nice.

193
00:04:44,448 --> 00:04:44,898
And send it off

194
00:04:44,898 --> 00:04:45,083
to 'em.

195
00:04:45,083 --> 00:04:45,084
Nice.

196
00:04:45,198 --> 00:04:45,888
You've already got that

197
00:04:45,888 --> 00:04:46,643
process done.

198
00:04:47,628 --> 00:04:51,738
Really, it's just coming in, talking to
me, the homeowner saying, Hey, I really

199
00:04:51,738 --> 00:04:54,198
need my house repainted, yada yada.

200
00:04:54,378 --> 00:04:54,468
Yep.

201
00:04:54,648 --> 00:04:57,678
You come in, you do all that, you
submit it, and then you get your

202
00:04:57,678 --> 00:04:59,658
crew out here and, and do a repaint.

203
00:05:00,288 --> 00:05:02,838
Now that's a real problem
solver right there.

204
00:05:02,838 --> 00:05:03,408
Honestly huge

205
00:05:03,408 --> 00:05:05,178
for our community out here.

206
00:05:05,268 --> 00:05:06,138
And you know what that tells me?

207
00:05:06,138 --> 00:05:07,308
He's gotta be a really good dude.

208
00:05:07,343 --> 00:05:07,403
Oh

209
00:05:07,973 --> 00:05:08,063
yeah.

210
00:05:08,063 --> 00:05:11,993
To be able to get in there and, and,
and, or he is a really, really bad dude.

211
00:05:11,993 --> 00:05:12,503
I don't know.

212
00:05:13,223 --> 00:05:14,453
No, I know, I know him.

213
00:05:14,453 --> 00:05:15,413
And he is a really good dude.

214
00:05:15,418 --> 00:05:16,348
He is a really good dude.

215
00:05:16,348 --> 00:05:18,353
But that is, that does say
something because that is a

216
00:05:18,413 --> 00:05:20,628
big, big thing with any HOA.

217
00:05:20,628 --> 00:05:20,948
Mm-hmm.

218
00:05:21,068 --> 00:05:25,043
Especially in daybreak, HOA and
hey, if they're gonna be rough

219
00:05:25,043 --> 00:05:27,053
and tough, then play by the rules.

220
00:05:27,053 --> 00:05:27,623
That's all it is.

221
00:05:27,623 --> 00:05:29,213
And then everybody be, that can be happy.

222
00:05:29,393 --> 00:05:29,663
That's true.

223
00:05:29,663 --> 00:05:30,713
If he knows the rules.

224
00:05:30,993 --> 00:05:31,533
Go to him.

225
00:05:31,533 --> 00:05:32,103
He's got it down.

226
00:05:32,163 --> 00:05:32,463
Right.

227
00:05:32,463 --> 00:05:34,233
Like, why would we not,
you know, they're always

228
00:05:34,233 --> 00:05:35,553
changing too, so you never know.

229
00:05:35,553 --> 00:05:35,613
Yeah.

230
00:05:35,643 --> 00:05:37,353
But that's, you never know
with them, like I said.

231
00:05:37,358 --> 00:05:37,718
That's true.

232
00:05:37,773 --> 00:05:39,693
That's a big problem solved.

233
00:05:39,693 --> 00:05:39,783
Mm-hmm.

234
00:05:41,133 --> 00:05:42,543
What made you start this thing?

235
00:05:43,053 --> 00:05:43,143
Yeah.

236
00:05:43,143 --> 00:05:43,146
What made you,

237
00:05:43,151 --> 00:05:46,803
what made you Well, so I got
into painting, uh, let's see,

238
00:05:47,193 --> 00:05:52,113
I was 17 or 18 years old in my
thirties, so I got into it young.

239
00:05:52,113 --> 00:05:53,643
I needed something to do with my hands.

240
00:05:53,643 --> 00:05:53,703
Yeah.

241
00:05:54,213 --> 00:05:55,323
School just wasn't for me.

242
00:05:55,328 --> 00:05:55,518
Yeah.

243
00:05:55,523 --> 00:05:55,563
Yeah.

244
00:05:55,563 --> 00:05:56,283
I wasn't working out.

245
00:05:56,283 --> 00:05:56,553
Right.

246
00:05:56,553 --> 00:05:56,673
Yeah.

247
00:05:56,673 --> 00:05:58,353
And uh, I really just.

248
00:05:58,713 --> 00:06:00,033
Liked everything about paint.

249
00:06:00,123 --> 00:06:03,333
I was sandblasting, clarifiers
of the sewer plant and doing

250
00:06:03,333 --> 00:06:04,863
some really crappy jobs.

251
00:06:04,893 --> 00:06:05,283
Okay.

252
00:06:05,283 --> 00:06:06,963
And, uh, it was just literally, yeah.

253
00:06:07,023 --> 00:06:07,653
Literally boo.

254
00:06:08,343 --> 00:06:08,763
Right.

255
00:06:08,823 --> 00:06:13,443
And, uh, I was working for that guy and
then I worked for a painter that I was

256
00:06:13,443 --> 00:06:18,093
doing a lot of production homes and I just
really didn't like how they were doing it.

257
00:06:18,723 --> 00:06:18,813
Yeah.

258
00:06:18,813 --> 00:06:19,323
What do you mean?

259
00:06:19,323 --> 00:06:22,413
Like, like, uh, blow and
goes, just get it done.

260
00:06:22,803 --> 00:06:24,663
Get it done as fast as you
can for the cheapest price.

261
00:06:24,663 --> 00:06:25,233
Crappy work.

262
00:06:25,803 --> 00:06:28,413
There's like, like not the nicest
work, not the highest quality.

263
00:06:28,413 --> 00:06:28,503
Yeah.

264
00:06:28,833 --> 00:06:29,028
Well see.

265
00:06:29,033 --> 00:06:29,253
And these

266
00:06:29,253 --> 00:06:31,953
painters, they're good at what they
do, and it's bad breaking work.

267
00:06:31,968 --> 00:06:32,188
Oh.

268
00:06:32,188 --> 00:06:32,908
And they're not getting paid

269
00:06:32,908 --> 00:06:33,148
enough

270
00:06:33,148 --> 00:06:33,308
for it.

271
00:06:33,488 --> 00:06:33,708
Now.

272
00:06:33,708 --> 00:06:36,963
See, I said he was a good guy and
now he's starting to prove it.

273
00:06:36,963 --> 00:06:38,613
So you see, it's so true.

274
00:06:38,613 --> 00:06:38,988
It is though.

275
00:06:38,988 --> 00:06:39,668
But that's a, like what

276
00:06:39,668 --> 00:06:42,273
he's saying is he's like, he
saw the problem in the industry,

277
00:06:42,273 --> 00:06:45,033
being in the industry, and
he's like, look, I can do this.

278
00:06:45,033 --> 00:06:45,963
I can do it better.

279
00:06:45,963 --> 00:06:46,863
I know the product.

280
00:06:46,893 --> 00:06:46,953
Yeah.

281
00:06:46,983 --> 00:06:49,743
And I'm gonna solve all those
things by Please try to.

282
00:06:49,808 --> 00:06:50,779
Going out on my own to

283
00:06:50,948 --> 00:06:51,968
pay guys more.

284
00:06:52,118 --> 00:06:52,208
Yeah.

285
00:06:52,208 --> 00:06:54,998
Give 'em a good base,
uh, workout benefits.

286
00:06:55,028 --> 00:06:55,088
Yeah.

287
00:06:55,088 --> 00:06:56,258
Try to work out PTO.

288
00:06:56,378 --> 00:06:56,648
Yeah.

289
00:06:56,708 --> 00:06:59,768
And just give 'em the necessary
tools to do the job correctly.

290
00:06:59,888 --> 00:07:00,188
That's so awesome.

291
00:07:00,188 --> 00:07:00,518
Right?

292
00:07:00,518 --> 00:07:01,778
Like, uh, better ladders.

293
00:07:01,778 --> 00:07:04,478
Better pumps, uh, anything
and everything they need.

294
00:07:04,778 --> 00:07:05,978
I pay for the painter's wipes.

295
00:07:05,978 --> 00:07:08,048
I pay for the clothes, so they're looking.

296
00:07:08,048 --> 00:07:09,098
How about education?

297
00:07:09,248 --> 00:07:10,688
The education's a big part too.

298
00:07:10,688 --> 00:07:11,168
There you go.

299
00:07:11,168 --> 00:07:11,408
Yeah.

300
00:07:11,438 --> 00:07:14,228
So I put 'em through PCA,
it used to be called PDCA.

301
00:07:14,228 --> 00:07:16,598
It's Painting Decorating
Contractors of America.

302
00:07:17,078 --> 00:07:18,998
And, uh, it is just a course they take.

303
00:07:19,148 --> 00:07:19,688
It's just.

304
00:07:19,728 --> 00:07:23,868
Uh, uh, more tools for them to know what
they're supposed to be doing on home.

305
00:07:24,228 --> 00:07:27,198
Okay, so tell me what areas you're in.

306
00:07:27,228 --> 00:07:29,778
Are you all along the Wasatch Front?

307
00:07:29,808 --> 00:07:32,448
Because we talk about Daybreak
Blaine and I live here, but you're

308
00:07:32,448 --> 00:07:33,918
really painting everywhere, right?

309
00:07:33,978 --> 00:07:34,188
Everywhere.

310
00:07:34,188 --> 00:07:34,908
Where are you guys at?

311
00:07:34,973 --> 00:07:37,253
I've gone as far as Bear
Lake and down in St. George.

312
00:07:37,433 --> 00:07:38,093
Oh, you have?

313
00:07:38,093 --> 00:07:38,213
So

314
00:07:38,213 --> 00:07:40,763
you're like in the whole, the whole same

315
00:07:40,763 --> 00:07:41,243
Utah?

316
00:07:41,248 --> 00:07:41,378
Yeah.

317
00:07:41,603 --> 00:07:41,963
Yeah.

318
00:07:41,963 --> 00:07:43,343
We're based down in West Jordan though.

319
00:07:43,343 --> 00:07:43,373
Okay.

320
00:07:43,373 --> 00:07:45,473
So I have a shop location in West Jordan.

321
00:07:45,473 --> 00:07:48,383
Are there licenses where like you
have some sort of license for this?

322
00:07:48,443 --> 00:07:49,883
Yeah, so I have a DOPA license.

323
00:07:49,883 --> 00:07:51,653
It's like the, they changed it recently.

324
00:07:51,653 --> 00:07:54,443
It's like a paint and drywall
license that you're supposed to be.

325
00:07:54,443 --> 00:07:54,713
Okay.

326
00:07:55,013 --> 00:07:57,983
And I have a general contractor's license
that's not tied to my business, so yeah.

327
00:07:58,458 --> 00:08:01,638
I just got licensed up,
wanted me to do, but could you

328
00:08:01,638 --> 00:08:03,138
go to other states and do

329
00:08:03,528 --> 00:08:03,738
so?

330
00:08:03,738 --> 00:08:07,848
I think the Utah can do Idaho
and Nevada, but I'm not sure.

331
00:08:08,178 --> 00:08:09,018
Not positive on that.

332
00:08:09,018 --> 00:08:12,437
You are not just showing up up there
just, but hey, if I, if I was in Vegas

333
00:08:13,493 --> 00:08:16,548
and they were like, Hey, we have a
casino, I'd be like, what do I have to do?

334
00:08:16,548 --> 00:08:17,028
Yeah,

335
00:08:17,028 --> 00:08:17,598
absolutely.

336
00:08:17,598 --> 00:08:18,078
There you go.

337
00:08:18,078 --> 00:08:19,458
Hey, it doesn't matter.

338
00:08:19,458 --> 00:08:22,878
Listen out there and anybody got
some Las Vegas casino contacts that

339
00:08:22,878 --> 00:08:26,028
need painting and there are some,
'cause there's some raggedy looking

340
00:08:26,028 --> 00:08:27,528
places out there in Vegas right now.

341
00:08:27,583 --> 00:08:28,243
Lot of paint.

342
00:08:28,243 --> 00:08:29,743
Good up Spencer, plate of paint.

343
00:08:29,983 --> 00:08:30,433
There you go.

344
00:08:30,433 --> 00:08:30,943
I got the plug.

345
00:08:30,943 --> 00:08:32,473
That's the referral of a lifetime.

346
00:08:32,473 --> 00:08:34,153
When you pull that off,
I'll get back to you.

347
00:08:34,153 --> 00:08:34,573
You're welcome.

348
00:08:35,023 --> 00:08:35,803
There you go.

349
00:08:36,013 --> 00:08:38,113
The BNI, that's how the DBCBNI works.

350
00:08:38,113 --> 00:08:38,743
That's true.

351
00:08:39,108 --> 00:08:41,683
I think I interrupted though on
something and I didn't mean to, but I

352
00:08:41,683 --> 00:08:43,303
really did wanna know about the, the.

353
00:08:43,683 --> 00:08:47,673
Uh, if you had, uh,
licenses and whatever else.

354
00:08:47,793 --> 00:08:48,033
Yep.

355
00:08:48,093 --> 00:08:49,713
And then if you could go to other states.

356
00:08:49,953 --> 00:08:50,763
'cause I could see that.

357
00:08:50,763 --> 00:08:52,083
Yeah, no, I was just,

358
00:08:52,173 --> 00:08:55,383
I was just gonna ask like
what project you have in mind.

359
00:08:55,383 --> 00:08:56,973
'cause I know the wheels are turning.

360
00:08:57,423 --> 00:08:59,703
Like, you go to Colorado 'cause
I got my police up there.

361
00:08:59,708 --> 00:08:59,949
No, no, no, no.

362
00:08:59,949 --> 00:09:00,063
Hold on.

363
00:09:01,653 --> 00:09:05,013
Something I kind of like
the, the, uh, casino I did.

364
00:09:05,073 --> 00:09:05,943
No, it is cuts.

365
00:09:05,943 --> 00:09:06,333
Cool

366
00:09:06,963 --> 00:09:08,823
now he threw that out there
and it's not in the universe.

367
00:09:08,823 --> 00:09:09,993
He doesn't even have

368
00:09:09,993 --> 00:09:10,788
to go far as.

369
00:09:12,328 --> 00:09:12,618
Okay.

370
00:09:12,898 --> 00:09:13,018
I

371
00:09:13,018 --> 00:09:14,058
knew it at a big casino.

372
00:09:14,258 --> 00:09:15,613
'cause I look at Treasure
Island, I'm like, hey.

373
00:09:15,798 --> 00:09:16,418
Oh, there you go.

374
00:09:16,438 --> 00:09:17,338
It needs a fresh coat.

375
00:09:17,358 --> 00:09:18,098
See that's what I'm talking about.

376
00:09:18,108 --> 00:09:20,083
These, there are some places in Vegas

377
00:09:20,083 --> 00:09:24,553
now my BNI brain is spinning because
I might know somebody in real estate.

378
00:09:24,703 --> 00:09:28,033
Our pr, our our may have to look
around because you know for ya.

379
00:09:28,033 --> 00:09:29,053
What's Cameron Thorn?

380
00:09:29,053 --> 00:09:30,913
Our Cameron Thorn's got some Vegas.

381
00:09:30,973 --> 00:09:31,333
Uh.

382
00:09:31,863 --> 00:09:32,583
Connections.

383
00:09:32,583 --> 00:09:32,763
Big time.

384
00:09:33,363 --> 00:09:33,663
That's work.

385
00:09:33,663 --> 00:09:33,903
So

386
00:09:33,963 --> 00:09:35,433
we've been mentioning BNI.

387
00:09:35,433 --> 00:09:36,214
Let's dive into it.

388
00:09:36,219 --> 00:09:36,909
Get into it, get it.

389
00:09:36,909 --> 00:09:39,003
So yeah, BNI, business networking.

390
00:09:39,003 --> 00:09:39,243
Right?

391
00:09:39,243 --> 00:09:41,013
We're all part of this.

392
00:09:41,433 --> 00:09:43,083
Um, let's dive in a little bit.

393
00:09:43,083 --> 00:09:47,973
How long have you been part of BNI and
what has it done for your business?

394
00:09:47,973 --> 00:09:49,713
What are you most excited about this year?

395
00:09:50,253 --> 00:09:54,783
Well, I, I joined, what was it,
a month ago or two months ago?

396
00:09:54,818 --> 00:09:57,518
And funny enough, I actually
joined another chapter

397
00:09:57,518 --> 00:09:58,958
about two, three years ago.

398
00:09:59,258 --> 00:10:00,668
Oh, I paid my fee.

399
00:10:00,673 --> 00:10:00,823
Mm-hmm.

400
00:10:00,908 --> 00:10:04,448
And then I had a huge joBNI
was like, I'm sorry, I, I'm the

401
00:10:04,448 --> 00:10:05,498
one that's physically painting.

402
00:10:05,498 --> 00:10:07,448
I just, I can't make it so go in my spot.

403
00:10:07,628 --> 00:10:07,718
Right.

404
00:10:07,718 --> 00:10:09,968
So I just paid the fee and I
left and I was like, sorry.

405
00:10:09,968 --> 00:10:10,688
And I, because this was back

406
00:10:10,688 --> 00:10:12,608
when you were doing
the, the work yourself.

407
00:10:12,638 --> 00:10:13,058
Okay.

408
00:10:13,058 --> 00:10:14,468
Now you got teams doing that.

409
00:10:14,468 --> 00:10:15,368
Sorry, I interrupted you.

410
00:10:15,368 --> 00:10:15,784
Yeah, no, no, no.

411
00:10:15,789 --> 00:10:15,878
You're

412
00:10:15,878 --> 00:10:16,388
totally fine.

413
00:10:16,448 --> 00:10:16,538
Yeah.

414
00:10:16,568 --> 00:10:17,078
Um.

415
00:10:17,508 --> 00:10:17,868
Yeah.

416
00:10:17,868 --> 00:10:18,108
Yeah.

417
00:10:18,108 --> 00:10:22,278
So I think the, the thing I like about
BNI is just the communication, right?

418
00:10:22,368 --> 00:10:24,588
I've met some great people so
far, and even though I've only

419
00:10:24,588 --> 00:10:27,828
known you guys for a little bit,
I mean, we, we click right away.

420
00:10:27,978 --> 00:10:29,718
Everyone's there for the same reason.

421
00:10:29,718 --> 00:10:31,008
They're all trying to help each other.

422
00:10:31,338 --> 00:10:32,658
Make their businesses grow.

423
00:10:32,663 --> 00:10:32,883
Yeah.

424
00:10:32,888 --> 00:10:33,108
Yeah.

425
00:10:33,108 --> 00:10:34,968
And j just, just make a good thing out of

426
00:10:34,968 --> 00:10:35,118
it.

427
00:10:35,118 --> 00:10:37,908
People think me and her have known
each other for what, 10, 20 years.

428
00:10:37,938 --> 00:10:38,418
They do.

429
00:10:38,418 --> 00:10:39,318
They're like the interactions.

430
00:10:39,318 --> 00:10:40,338
She just sold me my house.

431
00:10:40,338 --> 00:10:41,598
She sold me my house.

432
00:10:41,598 --> 00:10:43,673
I did two years ago, two years
ago, not even two years ago.

433
00:10:43,998 --> 00:10:45,138
That's, that's our relationship.

434
00:10:45,138 --> 00:10:45,828
That's it.

435
00:10:45,948 --> 00:10:46,908
And that's all I'm looking for.

436
00:10:47,058 --> 00:10:48,978
But that's what's happened
in this community.

437
00:10:48,978 --> 00:10:49,963
That's what we're trying to build.

438
00:10:50,193 --> 00:10:50,483
Yeah.

439
00:10:50,868 --> 00:10:54,858
And like you said, it is
when you walk into that room.

440
00:10:55,353 --> 00:10:57,753
At the DCC 9:00 AM Wednesday mornings.

441
00:10:57,933 --> 00:11:01,083
You heard it when you walk
in there, you know, I'm good.

442
00:11:01,623 --> 00:11:03,428
I been doing call man.

443
00:11:03,428 --> 00:11:05,043
You're like, this is, hey.

444
00:11:05,403 --> 00:11:06,183
Right into the camera.

445
00:11:06,183 --> 00:11:07,203
Day, day in Hollywood.

446
00:11:08,163 --> 00:11:09,033
20 years to doing it.

447
00:11:09,483 --> 00:11:11,253
I got my, my, you got you got some things.

448
00:11:11,253 --> 00:11:11,643
Some Oh yeah.

449
00:11:11,643 --> 00:11:12,933
Look, a couple things, but yeah.

450
00:11:12,993 --> 00:11:13,503
Uh, uh.

451
00:11:13,533 --> 00:11:18,363
But yeah, you walk in there and you really
do feel like you notice people already.

452
00:11:18,783 --> 00:11:19,083
Yeah.

453
00:11:19,143 --> 00:11:22,503
Like you feel like you because you fit in,
but it's, it's, it is that like-minded.

454
00:11:22,923 --> 00:11:24,003
Positive mindset.

455
00:11:24,033 --> 00:11:26,463
There's, you go in, there's some
other high minds out there that

456
00:11:26,463 --> 00:11:29,613
are negative, and you go in, you
feel the energy's a little bit off.

457
00:11:30,348 --> 00:11:31,278
No, I'm not naming anybody.

458
00:11:31,278 --> 00:11:33,198
You guys are like, is
he gonna name somebody?

459
00:11:33,618 --> 00:11:34,518
They're out there waiting too.

460
00:11:34,638 --> 00:11:35,208
No, no.

461
00:11:35,208 --> 00:11:35,748
I promise.

462
00:11:36,033 --> 00:11:36,533
No, I

463
00:11:36,773 --> 00:11:40,398
I, I really wasn't thinking that because
our culture, I mean, we, we've heard it

464
00:11:40,398 --> 00:11:46,878
in the other interviews here, but our
culture at BNI is very, very different.

465
00:11:46,938 --> 00:11:49,698
And I would encourage all of you
guys, if you're listening to this

466
00:11:49,698 --> 00:11:51,108
and you're like, Hey, what is this?

467
00:11:51,108 --> 00:11:52,938
I really wanna hear, I'm a business.

468
00:11:52,938 --> 00:11:53,748
I'm in a business.

469
00:11:53,748 --> 00:11:54,828
I wanna promote a business.

470
00:11:55,133 --> 00:12:01,583
Whatever that looks like for you is to
come to Daybreak business Community BNI.

471
00:12:01,823 --> 00:12:06,803

474
00:12:12,143 --> 00:12:13,673
like, can I just come check it out?

475

479
00:12:16,073 --> 00:12:16,433

481
00:12:17,363 --> 00:12:17,423
So

482
00:12:18,023 --> 00:12:21,653
what are you looking to get out
of this being a, like, what do you

483
00:12:21,653 --> 00:12:24,353
think, and you've already kind of
said it's like the community part.

484
00:12:24,783 --> 00:12:26,193
It is just relationships.

485
00:12:26,198 --> 00:12:26,668
That's it.

486
00:12:26,673 --> 00:12:26,883
That's

487
00:12:26,883 --> 00:12:27,543
really what it is.

488
00:12:27,543 --> 00:12:30,453
So with me, like I don't physically
do the work anymore, it's.

489
00:12:31,263 --> 00:12:31,923
Which is awesome.

490
00:12:31,923 --> 00:12:32,103
Right.

491
00:12:32,943 --> 00:12:34,353
You know, it's got its ups and downs.

492
00:12:34,353 --> 00:12:34,503
Right.

493
00:12:34,503 --> 00:12:37,173
I miss it because you, because
nobody can do it as good as you.

494
00:12:37,263 --> 00:12:40,893
Well you know what, all I gotta
say is brand's the best ever was.

495
00:12:40,893 --> 00:12:41,493
There you go.

496
00:12:41,493 --> 00:12:42,333
The best ever was.

497
00:12:42,333 --> 00:12:43,083
Nice job Brandon.

498
00:12:43,293 --> 00:12:43,623
You too.

499
00:12:43,623 --> 00:12:44,883

00:12:44,883 --> 00:12:47,403

501
00:12:47,403 --> 00:12:48,153
That's, this is awesome.

502
00:12:48,153 --> 00:12:49,383
There you go.

503
00:12:49,383 --> 00:12:51,513
Don't forget, everybody
at Platinum is amazing.

504
00:12:51,513 --> 00:12:52,083
There you go.

505
00:12:52,083 --> 00:12:53,013
They just, they're all

506
00:12:53,013 --> 00:12:53,283
filled.

507
00:12:53,283 --> 00:12:56,073
The people I met, they, they
do seem like an amazing team.

508
00:12:56,103 --> 00:12:56,163
Yeah.

509
00:12:56,583 --> 00:12:58,353
Uh, well, knowledgeable.

510
00:12:58,723 --> 00:13:00,133
I checked out your website and stuff too.

511
00:13:00,133 --> 00:13:00,433
All your

512
00:13:00,913 --> 00:13:03,403
trying to do an overhaul,
trying to make it up to date.

513
00:13:03,463 --> 00:13:05,203
I just did the Wix one called it good.

514
00:13:05,683 --> 00:13:08,533
We're up to that point now where
we had the proof of concept, right?

515
00:13:08,533 --> 00:13:09,703
We could knock out the job.

516
00:13:09,703 --> 00:13:10,603
We're doing a great job with it.

517
00:13:10,603 --> 00:13:13,373
Now it's me to start
working on the back end.

518
00:13:13,373 --> 00:13:16,483
And BNI was a good point for
that when I saw your post.

519
00:13:16,543 --> 00:13:18,253
Um, I grew, I grew up in this area.

520
00:13:18,283 --> 00:13:18,583
Yeah.

521
00:13:18,793 --> 00:13:20,713
And uh, I was like, oh, on daybreak.

522
00:13:21,043 --> 00:13:22,303
I love these houses here.

523
00:13:22,303 --> 00:13:23,533
I want to work on these houses.

524
00:13:23,533 --> 00:13:27,133
And I figured that'd just be a good
place to join and yeah, just meet people

525
00:13:27,133 --> 00:13:28,513
that are looking for the same goal.

526
00:13:28,663 --> 00:13:29,023
Yeah.

527
00:13:29,023 --> 00:13:32,173
And here's the cool thing is we
found out that we have a connection.

528
00:13:32,173 --> 00:13:34,003
I don't even know if you know this Blane.

529
00:13:34,213 --> 00:13:34,633
I don't.

530
00:13:34,678 --> 00:13:34,898
He

531
00:13:35,308 --> 00:13:37,123
fines my, he, he knows my oldest daughter.

532
00:13:37,123 --> 00:13:37,843
He knows Kaylee.

533
00:13:37,993 --> 00:13:38,413
No way.

534
00:13:38,503 --> 00:13:38,803
Yeah, yeah.

535
00:13:39,193 --> 00:13:39,343
How?

536
00:13:39,348 --> 00:13:39,578
Yeah.

537
00:13:39,703 --> 00:13:42,343
So she works, she's a
manager at a paint store.

538
00:13:42,703 --> 00:13:44,113
He is a painter.

539
00:13:44,173 --> 00:13:44,683
Well, there you go.

540
00:13:44,683 --> 00:13:46,138
And so, yeah, put the two together, huh?

541
00:13:46,278 --> 00:13:49,273
We, we connected and he said,
is your daughter at this?

542
00:13:49,668 --> 00:13:52,188
The manager at this store
and I said, I sure am.

543
00:13:52,188 --> 00:13:56,058
And sure enough, like they had
you how evidence right there.

544
00:13:56,133 --> 00:13:56,593
Oh, really?

545
00:13:56,653 --> 00:13:57,073
That's

546
00:13:57,103 --> 00:13:57,393
been.

547
00:13:58,158 --> 00:13:59,208
At least over a year.

548
00:13:59,208 --> 00:14:00,438
She sells me a lot of stuff.

549
00:14:00,438 --> 00:14:00,498
Yeah.

550
00:14:00,738 --> 00:14:02,508
She used to be right out
here at the Daybreak store.

551
00:14:02,508 --> 00:14:04,548
Now she's over in West
Jordan, right by you.

552
00:14:04,608 --> 00:14:04,758
Yep.

553
00:14:04,758 --> 00:14:05,988
She used to a show over there.

554
00:14:05,988 --> 00:14:06,798
She's doing a great job.

555
00:14:06,858 --> 00:14:07,068
Yeah.

556
00:14:07,278 --> 00:14:08,718
I thought it was gonna
be something Aw awful.

557
00:14:09,408 --> 00:14:10,488
Like off in the nursing world.

558
00:14:10,488 --> 00:14:12,123
I was like, oh man, what's,
whatcha she gonna tell me?

559
00:14:12,768 --> 00:14:13,488
No, no, no.

560
00:14:13,488 --> 00:14:14,538
What you gonna tell me
about something bad?

561
00:14:14,538 --> 00:14:14,808
No,

562
00:14:14,808 --> 00:14:17,868
just, but, but I mean, that's
just, it is, when you talk about

563
00:14:17,868 --> 00:14:21,228
networking and relationships
like that really is what it is.

564
00:14:21,288 --> 00:14:21,348
Yeah.

565
00:14:21,353 --> 00:14:25,338
Like I feel like I've known Spencer
because Kaylee has known him.

566
00:14:25,698 --> 00:14:26,748
You know, he is a good dude.

567
00:14:27,048 --> 00:14:30,288
We've known him a couple of months, but
I feel like it's honestly been longer.

568
00:14:30,288 --> 00:14:32,538
'cause she can, you know,
attest to, there you go.

569
00:14:32,538 --> 00:14:33,858
The relationship, right?

570
00:14:34,608 --> 00:14:34,968
Yeah.

571
00:14:34,968 --> 00:14:36,498
Relationships are worth more than money.

572
00:14:36,503 --> 00:14:36,723
Yeah.

573
00:14:36,823 --> 00:14:37,443
Oh, by far.

574
00:14:37,513 --> 00:14:37,803
Yeah,

575
00:14:38,033 --> 00:14:39,483
they are, they're worth hundred money.

576
00:14:39,618 --> 00:14:39,918
Yeah.

577
00:14:40,308 --> 00:14:43,518
Well, no, I heard him talk about, like,
I almost interrupted a minute ago, but I

578
00:14:43,518 --> 00:14:46,008
heard him say, he's not paying anymore.

579
00:14:46,008 --> 00:14:47,883
And I said, you know, and I
jumped in and Right, right.

580
00:14:48,018 --> 00:14:48,798
And all that, but.

581
00:14:49,758 --> 00:14:52,338
Did you just, you grew too
big, like is that what happened

582
00:14:52,338 --> 00:14:53,088
and you just stopped paying?

583
00:14:53,088 --> 00:14:53,148
No.

584
00:14:53,148 --> 00:14:53,778
Because you got paying

585
00:14:53,928 --> 00:14:54,618
or what happened there?

586
00:14:54,678 --> 00:14:57,948
I got no motorcycle accident,
so I physically couldn't do it.

587
00:14:58,008 --> 00:14:58,428
Oh.

588
00:14:58,788 --> 00:15:01,548
Yeah, so I was on a,
uh, Harley Road Glide.

589
00:15:01,553 --> 00:15:01,773
Oh.

590
00:15:01,953 --> 00:15:03,453
Bought 800 miles.

591
00:15:03,713 --> 00:15:04,853
Oh, beautiful bike.

592
00:15:04,913 --> 00:15:06,078
Oh my gosh, gosh.

593
00:15:06,138 --> 00:15:10,518
And, uh, we got hit by a girl and, uh,
my wife's on the back and I lost my foot.

594
00:15:10,518 --> 00:15:11,328
So a foot?

595
00:15:11,928 --> 00:15:12,498
Yeah, it's gone.

596
00:15:13,128 --> 00:15:13,428
What there?

597
00:15:14,243 --> 00:15:14,533
Okay.

598
00:15:15,763 --> 00:15:16,053
Whoa.

599
00:15:16,293 --> 00:15:17,538
I got the upgraded model.

600
00:15:17,808 --> 00:15:20,748
You do have an upgraded
model that's 2026 model.

601
00:15:20,808 --> 00:15:21,078
You know,

602
00:15:21,138 --> 00:15:23,118
this thing's made of vibranium, is it not?

603
00:15:23,208 --> 00:15:25,908
Oh man, that's the marvel,
you know, vibranium from Black

604
00:15:25,908 --> 00:15:26,658
Panther there from Wakanda.

605
00:15:27,288 --> 00:15:27,798
That's right.

606
00:15:27,858 --> 00:15:29,268
So when was, was this Spencer?

607
00:15:29,268 --> 00:15:30,078
How long ago was this?

608
00:15:30,078 --> 00:15:30,528
April

609
00:15:30,528 --> 00:15:31,038
of 21.

610
00:15:31,368 --> 00:15:32,328
Oh, okay.

611
00:15:32,328 --> 00:15:32,568
Yeah.

612
00:15:32,598 --> 00:15:33,198
So geez.

613
00:15:33,558 --> 00:15:37,758
And it made me, uh, realize
that, um, I shouldn't own a job.

614
00:15:37,758 --> 00:15:38,573
I shouldn't own a business.

615
00:15:38,643 --> 00:15:38,933
Yeah.

616
00:15:39,348 --> 00:15:39,918
There you go.

617
00:15:39,918 --> 00:15:41,808
So that's, that's kind
of the takeaway from it.

618
00:15:41,808 --> 00:15:45,438
And I'm really lucky for the
people who are still here that

619
00:15:45,438 --> 00:15:46,698
helped the business keep going.

620
00:15:46,818 --> 00:15:48,498
'cause that was a, that was a thing

621
00:15:48,618 --> 00:15:51,918
That was probably like the height,
you're doing a ton of work back then.

622
00:15:51,918 --> 00:15:55,248
You're like painting,
you're, you're doing it all.

623
00:15:55,338 --> 00:15:55,608
Yeah.

624
00:15:56,073 --> 00:15:59,073
You have this, and by the
way, your wife is okay, right?

625
00:15:59,223 --> 00:15:59,478
Oh yeah.

626
00:15:59,483 --> 00:15:59,823
Yeah.

627
00:15:59,823 --> 00:16:02,853
And she, you, you would never
know until you saw her foot.

628
00:16:02,853 --> 00:16:05,403
But yeah, she's really
healed up awesomely.

629
00:16:05,403 --> 00:16:06,033
So she's good.

630
00:16:06,093 --> 00:16:06,693
She's awesome.

631
00:16:06,783 --> 00:16:07,293
She's amazing.

632
00:16:07,293 --> 00:16:07,623
Oh my gosh.

633
00:16:07,778 --> 00:16:08,998
So that's wild.

634
00:16:09,068 --> 00:16:09,358
Yeah.

635
00:16:09,453 --> 00:16:12,873
So you're at the height of this,
you know, your you job, you had

636
00:16:12,873 --> 00:16:14,643
a job at the time painting homes.

637
00:16:14,703 --> 00:16:14,853
Yep.

638
00:16:15,063 --> 00:16:19,263
And it was a realization after that
getting knocked out of work and.

639
00:16:19,638 --> 00:16:22,608
Just being down and out that you're
like, I need to run a business.

640
00:16:22,608 --> 00:16:24,678
I need people, I need Okay.

641
00:16:24,678 --> 00:16:25,818
To put trust into it.

642
00:16:25,878 --> 00:16:26,298
Yeah.

643
00:16:26,298 --> 00:16:29,838
You know, because when you have, um,
people that work under you Right.

644
00:16:29,838 --> 00:16:32,268
Employees, there's a trust issue at first.

645
00:16:32,273 --> 00:16:32,423
Yeah.

646
00:16:32,423 --> 00:16:32,623
Right.

647
00:16:32,628 --> 00:16:32,778
Yeah.

648
00:16:32,778 --> 00:16:35,748
There's always a, are they doing
the things I'm asking them to do?

649
00:16:35,748 --> 00:16:37,998
Is it going the way it's
supposed to be going?

650
00:16:37,998 --> 00:16:40,518
Should I leave 'em alone if I,
if I give 'em the tools to make

651
00:16:40,518 --> 00:16:41,688
sure they're doing a good job?

652
00:16:41,988 --> 00:16:42,108
Mm-hmm.

653
00:16:42,348 --> 00:16:44,298
And, uh, that kind of helped
me get over that hump.

654
00:16:44,718 --> 00:16:44,778
Wow.

655
00:16:44,778 --> 00:16:47,808
Where I just gotta put trust into them
and then everything's gonna work out.

656
00:16:47,808 --> 00:16:48,078
Hey.

657
00:16:48,428 --> 00:16:50,648
You know, whatever bumps in the
road you may have, they're gonna

658
00:16:50,648 --> 00:16:52,388
be fixed and it's gonna be fine.

659
00:16:52,388 --> 00:16:54,428
I mean, it's painted at the
end the day you, you can fix

660
00:16:54,428 --> 00:16:55,328
it, you can make it look good.

661
00:16:55,328 --> 00:16:55,598
Yeah.

662
00:16:55,838 --> 00:16:57,218
Just don't get it too far,

663
00:16:57,308 --> 00:16:57,548
right?

664
00:16:57,553 --> 00:16:58,148
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

665
00:16:58,148 --> 00:17:01,238
Don't get, but this, now I know
I jumped back, made a big deal.

666
00:17:01,238 --> 00:17:05,888
But Yeah, in all seriousness, like
when, when that happened, like the

667
00:17:05,888 --> 00:17:08,828
business can't, that, that'd been
the last thing I'd have been thought

668
00:17:08,828 --> 00:17:11,948
thinking about like that in itself is.

669
00:17:12,813 --> 00:17:16,323
You hear the, it's cliche, life
changing, life alter, but it is.

670
00:17:16,323 --> 00:17:17,403
It really is.

671
00:17:17,408 --> 00:17:17,458
Yeah.

672
00:17:17,678 --> 00:17:17,898
Yes.

673
00:17:17,903 --> 00:17:17,943
Yeah.

674
00:17:18,153 --> 00:17:21,543
But the day of you're,
you're never the same.

675
00:17:21,543 --> 00:17:23,373
And that's hurdle.

676
00:17:23,763 --> 00:17:26,013
There's two ways you can
go with that, you know?

677
00:17:26,958 --> 00:17:27,558
You picked.

678
00:17:27,558 --> 00:17:32,628
You picked the one that I is a little
better off, but you can either go for the

679
00:17:32,628 --> 00:17:35,298
self wallow and the pity and all that.

680
00:17:35,303 --> 00:17:35,493
Well,

681
00:17:35,493 --> 00:17:36,678
and that might be a stage.

682
00:17:36,678 --> 00:17:38,478
It might be a phase, right?

683
00:17:38,478 --> 00:17:39,498
Like in stages, right?

684
00:17:39,498 --> 00:17:40,728
Oh yeah, absolutely.

685
00:17:40,728 --> 00:17:40,908
But

686
00:17:40,908 --> 00:17:42,648
some people, they don't get out of that.

687
00:17:42,648 --> 00:17:43,068
Yeah.

688
00:17:43,098 --> 00:17:46,573
But to see, you're like,
Hey, I'm not gonna work.

689
00:17:46,713 --> 00:17:47,328
You know what?

690
00:17:48,018 --> 00:17:50,538
I lost my leg, but I can't
work, I can't physically work.

691
00:17:50,538 --> 00:17:52,878
So you know what, it's, it's a boss thing.

692
00:17:53,478 --> 00:17:54,468
I'm a buy the business.

693
00:17:54,468 --> 00:17:55,488
Like that's what it is.

694
00:17:55,493 --> 00:17:55,998
Yep, yep.

695
00:17:56,058 --> 00:17:57,378
That's what it, that's what it seems like.

696
00:17:57,378 --> 00:17:58,218
You get a parking spot.

697
00:17:58,218 --> 00:17:58,878
So it's kind of cool.

698
00:17:59,868 --> 00:18:00,228
Hey, there we go.

699
00:18:00,228 --> 00:18:00,528
Here we go with jokes.

700
00:18:00,528 --> 00:18:02,898
There's, now here we go with the joke.

701
00:18:02,898 --> 00:18:06,018
Now what's the best joke you've
heard that's we can put on the air?

702
00:18:06,018 --> 00:18:06,768
'cause I'm sure there's some.

703
00:18:07,118 --> 00:18:11,408
You know, I always hear, because my
brother's told me, he's like, um, oh,

704
00:18:11,408 --> 00:18:13,208
you got brothers socks for half off.

705
00:18:13,208 --> 00:18:13,748
You get shoes off.

706
00:18:14,873 --> 00:18:15,788
All that fun stuff.

707
00:18:15,788 --> 00:18:18,053
But I still gotta put a shoe
on it, you know, it's like,

708
00:18:18,728 --> 00:18:19,688
you know, that one's alright.

709
00:18:19,688 --> 00:18:22,148
My favorite thing to do is
to, uh, kid with people.

710
00:18:22,418 --> 00:18:23,438
So I golf a lot.

711
00:18:23,768 --> 00:18:24,098
Okay.

712
00:18:24,098 --> 00:18:24,293
Make bunch of a four.

713
00:18:24,913 --> 00:18:26,498
Ill make up the craziest stories.

714
00:18:26,958 --> 00:18:28,488
Just to see how long I
can get him going for.

715
00:18:28,488 --> 00:18:30,288
'cause you're there for
four hours for these guys.

716
00:18:30,318 --> 00:18:31,188
Yeah, exactly.

717
00:18:31,188 --> 00:18:31,863
I have no idea who you are.

718
00:18:32,598 --> 00:18:34,158
I said it as an alligator.

719
00:18:34,518 --> 00:18:35,568
Oh yes.

720
00:18:35,568 --> 00:18:36,378
Crossing.

721
00:18:36,378 --> 00:18:37,428
Just anything and everything.

722
00:18:37,433 --> 00:18:40,728
You can think of a disease and
crazy and you roll with it.

723
00:18:40,728 --> 00:18:40,938
Right.

724
00:18:41,538 --> 00:18:42,108
All time.

725
00:18:42,213 --> 00:18:42,503
Time.

726
00:18:42,768 --> 00:18:43,638
I mean, hells been hard.

727
00:18:44,028 --> 00:18:44,388
Yeah.

728
00:18:44,388 --> 00:18:44,628
Who's

729
00:18:44,628 --> 00:18:44,863
gonna argue

730
00:18:44,963 --> 00:18:48,048
do anything all the 18 going too.

731
00:18:48,048 --> 00:18:50,178
Especially one because
they can't believe it.

732
00:18:50,278 --> 00:18:51,118
And, uh, you're

733
00:18:51,118 --> 00:18:53,218
like, no golfing in golfing in Florida.

734
00:18:53,218 --> 00:18:53,968
This is, yeah.

735
00:18:53,968 --> 00:18:54,448
Be careful.

736
00:18:54,448 --> 00:18:55,198
Watch yourself.

737
00:18:55,198 --> 00:18:56,158
Tell em I'm noodling.

738
00:18:56,163 --> 00:18:56,723
You don't noodling.

739
00:18:57,028 --> 00:18:57,478
Oh my God.

740
00:18:57,478 --> 00:18:58,648
Like you're looking for catfish.

741
00:18:59,578 --> 00:19:01,468
Some big battle with the alligator.

742
00:19:01,468 --> 00:19:02,308
Really keep it going.

743
00:19:02,908 --> 00:19:03,028
Oh gosh.

744
00:19:03,028 --> 00:19:03,748
Fight for the story,

745
00:19:03,748 --> 00:19:04,498
Spencer.

746
00:19:04,498 --> 00:19:06,298
That is, see, I learned something new.

747
00:19:06,303 --> 00:19:06,803
That's incredible.

748
00:19:07,743 --> 00:19:08,443
Got a sense of humor.

749
00:19:08,818 --> 00:19:09,538
That's funny though.

750
00:19:09,538 --> 00:19:10,408
That's, that's great.

751
00:19:10,408 --> 00:19:11,968
And that's a great way to turn.

752
00:19:13,278 --> 00:19:15,408
Tragedy and the humor like,
like people like to do.

753
00:19:15,408 --> 00:19:15,409
Yeah.

754
00:19:15,414 --> 00:19:15,468
Yeah.

755
00:19:15,468 --> 00:19:15,768
Go ahead.

756
00:19:15,978 --> 00:19:19,968
I just wanna say, because we talked
a lot about what it could mean for

757
00:19:19,968 --> 00:19:21,648
you, what did that mean for you?

758
00:19:21,648 --> 00:19:24,498
Like what was that
transition like for you?

759
00:19:25,353 --> 00:19:26,108
No, it was brutal.

760
00:19:26,108 --> 00:19:29,553
Yeah, it was brutal because, uh,
you realize that it wasn't there

761
00:19:29,553 --> 00:19:30,903
anymore and you can't walk normal

762
00:19:30,903 --> 00:19:31,323
anymore.

763
00:19:31,328 --> 00:19:31,468
Mm-hmm.

764
00:19:31,548 --> 00:19:31,708
Right.

765
00:19:31,803 --> 00:19:33,333
And then phantom pain was crazy.

766
00:19:33,333 --> 00:19:36,363
'cause I thought my foot was there
for weeks and weeks and weeks.

767
00:19:36,363 --> 00:19:36,633
Right.

768
00:19:36,663 --> 00:19:36,723
Yeah.

769
00:19:36,723 --> 00:19:37,263
Does this still

770
00:19:37,263 --> 00:19:37,683
happen?

771
00:19:37,953 --> 00:19:38,553
Not really.

772
00:19:38,568 --> 00:19:38,788
No.

773
00:19:38,973 --> 00:19:39,393
No.

774
00:19:39,393 --> 00:19:43,053
Like, because it was a traumatic
incident, it's like I'd rather have that

775
00:19:43,053 --> 00:19:44,403
in like a diabetic incident or Yeah.

776
00:19:44,853 --> 00:19:45,423
Something like that.

777
00:19:45,423 --> 00:19:46,983
So I gotta take care of
myself in that regard.

778
00:19:46,988 --> 00:19:47,268
Mm-hmm.

779
00:19:47,348 --> 00:19:50,733
But with it being traumatic, it's
like, okay, they did the surgery.

780
00:19:50,763 --> 00:19:51,963
The surgery was kinda.

781
00:19:52,183 --> 00:19:54,403
You know, I had bumps in the road
and I'm a person that doesn't

782
00:19:54,403 --> 00:19:55,573
like to sit down for very long.

783
00:19:55,573 --> 00:19:55,633
Yeah.

784
00:19:55,633 --> 00:19:58,123
So I go back in 'cause
I broke it open again.

785
00:19:58,933 --> 00:19:58,964
Oh yeah.

786
00:19:59,053 --> 00:19:59,743
You know, busy

787
00:19:59,743 --> 00:20:00,508
overdoing it.

788
00:20:00,508 --> 00:20:00,948
Were you,

789
00:20:01,258 --> 00:20:05,383
well, I was trying to get a remote and I
fell and it cracked open and Oh, oh good.

790
00:20:05,383 --> 00:20:06,583
You could like roll a quarter in there.

791
00:20:06,583 --> 00:20:07,213
It was pretty crazy, so.

792
00:20:07,288 --> 00:20:07,748
Oh my gosh.

793
00:20:07,818 --> 00:20:09,108
Yeah, it was one of
those things, things that

794
00:20:09,343 --> 00:20:11,743
you don't even think
about, just like the, the.

795
00:20:12,058 --> 00:20:14,818
Process and the physical therapy
and occupational therapy.

796
00:20:14,818 --> 00:20:16,598
I'm a retired nurse, so
Right, right, right, right.

797
00:20:16,678 --> 00:20:20,008
You know, it's like all of those
things that people don't think

798
00:20:20,008 --> 00:20:21,178
about through that process.

799
00:20:21,178 --> 00:20:22,918
It's not just losing the leg, it's

800
00:20:22,918 --> 00:20:23,098
mm-hmm.

801
00:20:23,448 --> 00:20:25,833
Relearning how to and then being able

802
00:20:26,058 --> 00:20:29,838
to, to, you know, just, um, not
get over it, but get over it.

803
00:20:29,838 --> 00:20:30,888
Yeah, no, that's what I'm saying.

804
00:20:30,888 --> 00:20:32,928
Like some people don't
because it's a physical,

805
00:20:32,928 --> 00:20:33,918
psychological mm-hmm.

806
00:20:34,218 --> 00:20:34,668
Thing.

807
00:20:34,673 --> 00:20:34,913
Yeah.

808
00:20:34,918 --> 00:20:35,118
Yeah.

809
00:20:35,118 --> 00:20:36,078
I can still drive my truck.

810
00:20:36,078 --> 00:20:36,438
I can still,

811
00:20:36,438 --> 00:20:36,558
yeah.

812
00:20:36,793 --> 00:20:38,358
I love the truck outside, by the way.

813
00:20:38,358 --> 00:20:39,888
Saw you pull up in that bad boy.

814
00:20:39,893 --> 00:20:39,913

00:20:40,428 --> 00:20:40,548
Yeah.

I can get a lot gas

818
00:20:43,788 --> 00:20:45,953

the junk, but you know,

819
00:20:46,308 --> 00:20:47,388
it's, well, that's nice.

820
00:20:47,388 --> 00:20:50,148
You can haul a lot of equipment

00:20:50,148 --> 00:20:50,358
I love

822
00:20:50,358 --> 00:20:50,448
