From Meth Cleanup to Business Networking: The Kameron Thorne Experience

1
00:00:08,078 --> 00:00:08,578
Alright.

2
00:00:09,068 --> 00:00:09,508
We're here.

3
00:00:09,508 --> 00:00:11,168
This is an exciting one right here.

4
00:00:11,178 --> 00:00:12,648
We got a big guest today.

5
00:00:12,648 --> 00:00:14,538
The BNI business.

6
00:00:14,568 --> 00:00:15,218
Hey, watch yourself.

7
00:00:15,488 --> 00:00:16,058
The BNI business.

8
00:00:16,348 --> 00:00:16,398
Large.

9
00:00:17,118 --> 00:00:17,648
Huge.

10
00:00:17,898 --> 00:00:18,148
Large.

11
00:00:19,218 --> 00:00:21,638
It's oBNI& I business of the week.

12
00:00:21,638 --> 00:00:24,683
I don't think we can even Consider
this the BNI Business of the

13
00:00:24,683 --> 00:00:26,373
Week, because this is the BNI.

14
00:00:26,393 --> 00:00:26,663
That's

15
00:00:27,093 --> 00:00:27,673
what he is.

16
00:00:27,673 --> 00:00:32,573
He's the executive director, Kameron
Thorne, of the BNI Utah North.

17
00:00:32,653 --> 00:00:33,043
Correct.

18
00:00:33,303 --> 00:00:35,443
And also you own your own business too.

19
00:00:35,443 --> 00:00:38,203
It's Apple Environment,
which is a Environmental.

20
00:00:38,283 --> 00:00:40,363
Environmental, which is a meth removal?

21
00:00:41,048 --> 00:00:43,978
It's anything that has to do
with meth, about teaching people

22
00:00:43,978 --> 00:00:46,208
how to clean it, and fentanyl.

23
00:00:46,728 --> 00:00:47,608
I don't do meth.

24
00:00:47,628 --> 00:00:50,968
I was asked to do meth when I started
the business from my business partner.

25
00:00:51,468 --> 00:00:53,338
That could have went a whole other
direction if you had done that.

26
00:00:53,338 --> 00:00:54,048
It's like, I got

27
00:00:54,048 --> 00:00:54,548
stories.

28
00:00:54,948 --> 00:00:58,833
There's a, there's a alternate timeline
out there somewhere where you did meth.

29
00:00:59,133 --> 00:01:00,823
And it's, you're Walter White out there.

30
00:01:00,903 --> 00:01:02,093
I am doing the I

31
00:01:02,093 --> 00:01:03,583
would be skinny and I'd have nice teeth.

32
00:01:04,173 --> 00:01:04,733
At that point.

33
00:01:05,093 --> 00:01:05,573
You would not

34
00:01:05,983 --> 00:01:08,533
be introducing him as a
big guest at that point.

35
00:01:08,543 --> 00:01:10,023
Yeah, but Small.

36
00:01:10,293 --> 00:01:12,023
This, but the Method networking.

37
00:01:12,593 --> 00:01:13,113
Method networking?

38
00:01:13,433 --> 00:01:15,113
I'm gonna write the book
called Method Networking.

39
00:01:15,123 --> 00:01:16,213
Should we check his car?

40
00:01:16,223 --> 00:01:16,633
I love it.

41
00:01:16,703 --> 00:01:17,243
Are the police

42
00:01:17,243 --> 00:01:18,113
gonna show up any minute?

43
00:01:18,133 --> 00:01:19,133
Are you actually Listen,

44
00:01:19,203 --> 00:01:19,983
on the break Trafficking

45
00:01:21,298 --> 00:01:21,948
Methamphetamines.

46
00:01:22,178 --> 00:01:22,488
We're

47
00:01:22,698 --> 00:01:23,208
being recorded.

48
00:01:23,558 --> 00:01:23,948
Oh yeah,

49
00:01:24,158 --> 00:01:24,748
oh, oh.

50
00:01:25,098 --> 00:01:25,808
We'll have to turn this off.

51
00:01:25,958 --> 00:01:26,438
We'll have to cut it out.

52
00:01:26,678 --> 00:01:27,398
Do what you gotta do.

53
00:01:29,648 --> 00:01:31,588
Well look, at least he
knows how to clean it up.

54
00:01:31,598 --> 00:01:32,328
So, I mean.

55
00:01:32,338 --> 00:01:32,948
Very true.

56
00:01:33,118 --> 00:01:33,428
I know

57
00:01:33,648 --> 00:01:34,908
how to make it and clean it up.

58
00:01:34,998 --> 00:01:36,308
Oh you really know how to make it?

59
00:01:36,558 --> 00:01:37,508
Yeah, you know the process.

60
00:01:37,698 --> 00:01:40,968
Because I would assume you'd have to
know the process to know when to do it.

61
00:01:40,998 --> 00:01:43,128
So that we can say, they
made it chemically, now you

62
00:01:43,128 --> 00:01:44,088
gotta clean it up chemically.

63
00:01:44,168 --> 00:01:44,608
Yeah.

64
00:01:45,108 --> 00:01:46,278
Oh, interesting.

65
00:01:46,308 --> 00:01:46,558
What was the

66
00:01:46,798 --> 00:01:48,458
background on you with that?

67
00:01:48,458 --> 00:01:49,138
Because I don't wanna.

68
00:01:49,573 --> 00:01:50,943
Get too far in, but yeah.

69
00:01:51,253 --> 00:01:52,153
Well, I just,

70
00:01:52,563 --> 00:01:57,103
I was business coaching and I
would, I knew the cleaning industry

71
00:01:57,113 --> 00:01:59,473
from my background in, in hotels.

72
00:01:59,473 --> 00:02:02,073
And I was vice president of
a big, big cleaning company.

73
00:02:02,683 --> 00:02:07,143
And I got sick of it, ended up
leaving that and I did consulting

74
00:02:07,153 --> 00:02:10,573
and my niche was cleaning
companies, restoration, those types.

75
00:02:11,163 --> 00:02:16,548
Mark Shepherd out in Kaysville called
me and said, Hey, I've got a Doing

76
00:02:16,548 --> 00:02:20,048
property management, doing a bunch of
cleaning of homes and stuff and he goes,

77
00:02:20,058 --> 00:02:24,278
half these homes have methane from the
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac back in 2008.

78
00:02:24,318 --> 00:02:24,668
Oh yeah.

79
00:02:25,028 --> 00:02:28,488
And he was, he said, I'm, they're
spending 50 to 60 thousand

80
00:02:28,488 --> 00:02:29,838
dollars getting these homes.

81
00:02:29,838 --> 00:02:31,848
He goes, we don't need
to get these things.

82
00:02:31,848 --> 00:02:33,488
He goes, it's a surface contaminant.

83
00:02:33,968 --> 00:02:38,248
And he goes, we should create a chemical
and a systems how to clean this.

84
00:02:38,248 --> 00:02:41,248
And I was laughing because I
always like good ideas, but then.

85
00:02:41,988 --> 00:02:44,198
That's when he said, Kameron,
do you want to do meth with me?

86
00:02:45,298 --> 00:02:47,268
You know, it was like
getting down on a knee.

87
00:02:48,808 --> 00:02:50,408
Proposing meth to him.

88
00:02:50,408 --> 00:02:54,118
And it's been really, we
started a cleaning company.

89
00:02:54,588 --> 00:02:57,268
We got where we were cleaning
a couple houses a week.

90
00:02:57,928 --> 00:03:00,568
Both of us hated it, but
it was very profitable.

91
00:03:01,248 --> 00:03:02,248
So we ended up selling it.

92
00:03:02,258 --> 00:03:07,408
So now our company, we created a
chemical to clean testing supplies.

93
00:03:08,068 --> 00:03:13,528
Um, we created standards, uh, we helped
create the standards here in Utah and

94
00:03:13,528 --> 00:03:18,748
then we've worked with governments in
New Zealand, all over the world and in

95
00:03:18,748 --> 00:03:21,408
different parts of the country, helping
them create standards and then teaching

96
00:03:21,408 --> 00:03:23,798
people how to clean meth and fentanyl.

97
00:03:24,168 --> 00:03:27,318
And so people buy our product,
testing supplies, Mark teaches

98
00:03:27,318 --> 00:03:28,988
them how to, to clean it.

99
00:03:29,338 --> 00:03:30,898
That's how I got involved in it.

100
00:03:30,918 --> 00:03:33,568
I spend most of my time on the
other portion of the business.

101
00:03:33,568 --> 00:03:34,288
It's Mark Spence.

102
00:03:35,008 --> 00:03:38,558
About half of this time with Apple
Environmental and half with BNI, and

103
00:03:38,608 --> 00:03:40,098
I spend about 90 percent with BNI.

104
00:03:40,588 --> 00:03:43,238
Okay, so you guys do test for meth?

105
00:03:43,628 --> 00:03:44,068
Oh, yeah.

106
00:03:44,238 --> 00:03:44,828
Okay.

107
00:03:44,858 --> 00:03:45,598
I got one right here.

108
00:03:45,598 --> 00:03:45,918
Should we test it?

109
00:03:45,918 --> 00:03:46,749
I feel

110
00:03:46,749 --> 00:03:47,995
confident and comfortable.

111
00:03:47,995 --> 00:03:49,656
I'm the only owner.

112
00:03:49,656 --> 00:03:51,317
Let's test my house.

113
00:03:51,317 --> 00:03:52,563
Actually though, isn't

114
00:03:52,563 --> 00:03:53,428
that a thing?

115
00:03:53,428 --> 00:03:56,308
Like, you wouldn't, isn't there a
percentage that you'd be surprised?

116
00:03:56,308 --> 00:03:57,948
10 percent of the homes in Utah are

117
00:03:57,948 --> 00:04:00,648
contaminated and 100
percent of the hotel rooms.

118
00:04:00,698 --> 00:04:01,358
That's insane.

119
00:04:02,008 --> 00:04:02,518
That's insane.

120
00:04:02,518 --> 00:04:03,238
And a lot of

121
00:04:03,238 --> 00:04:05,548
the rentals are
contaminated, unfortunately.

122
00:04:05,718 --> 00:04:08,518
So we make that joke, but you
may not know that you're home.

123
00:04:08,528 --> 00:04:10,828
So this is something like when you
get an inspector to come in the

124
00:04:10,828 --> 00:04:12,458
house, they better be tested for this.

125
00:04:12,668 --> 00:04:14,488
And you know in the hotel that
first night you can't sleep?

126
00:04:14,728 --> 00:04:14,938
Yes.

127
00:04:15,513 --> 00:04:16,143
That's why.

128
00:04:17,163 --> 00:04:18,083
We're all high.

129
00:04:18,093 --> 00:04:18,793
Is that what you're saying?

130
00:04:19,043 --> 00:04:19,363
We're sick.

131
00:04:19,483 --> 00:04:19,623
You're just

132
00:04:19,623 --> 00:04:21,193
breathing in those nasty chemicals.

133
00:04:21,193 --> 00:04:21,783
The chemicals

134
00:04:21,783 --> 00:04:22,593
make you feel like garbage.

135
00:04:22,593 --> 00:04:23,063
And it keeps you awake.

136
00:04:23,303 --> 00:04:23,573
Oh.

137
00:04:23,703 --> 00:04:25,323
What kind of hotels are you staying in?

138
00:04:25,323 --> 00:04:25,693
Listen.

139
00:04:25,913 --> 00:04:27,023
It doesn't matter, right?

140
00:04:27,033 --> 00:04:27,053
We

141
00:04:27,053 --> 00:04:28,373
tested all hotels.

142
00:04:28,373 --> 00:04:30,463
We've stayed at the top and the

143
00:04:30,463 --> 00:04:30,573
bottom.

144
00:04:30,573 --> 00:04:31,773
It is everywhere.

145
00:04:31,803 --> 00:04:32,223
It doesn't

146
00:04:32,223 --> 00:04:32,533
matter.

147
00:04:33,313 --> 00:04:34,523
Hotels are transient.

148
00:04:34,583 --> 00:04:35,013
Yeah.

149
00:04:35,023 --> 00:04:36,743
People come and go and you
don't know what's going on.

150
00:04:36,743 --> 00:04:38,823
And truck drivers are using meth.

151
00:04:38,893 --> 00:04:40,353
Contractors are using meth.

152
00:04:40,933 --> 00:04:42,543
If you're getting paid by the peas.

153
00:04:42,558 --> 00:04:45,718
A lot of those guys will stay
up for days and days and days.

154
00:04:46,098 --> 00:04:48,268
Another podcast we could do, I could
just tell you stories over and over.

155
00:04:48,268 --> 00:04:49,328
We're gonna do that!

156
00:04:49,978 --> 00:04:50,958
I've got an idea for them.

157
00:04:51,098 --> 00:04:51,738
We've been talking about this.

158
00:04:51,908 --> 00:04:53,348
We've actually, we met Kameron.

159
00:04:53,908 --> 00:04:55,098
What, almost two years ago.

160
00:04:55,948 --> 00:04:56,158
Has it been?

161
00:04:57,098 --> 00:04:57,768
At least 18 months.

162
00:04:57,768 --> 00:04:59,338
We're at the little
diner in my neighborhood.

163
00:04:59,338 --> 00:04:59,848
What's it called?

164
00:05:00,058 --> 00:05:00,488
Biscott's.

165
00:05:01,028 --> 00:05:02,078
Biscott's.

166
00:05:02,508 --> 00:05:02,798
over there.

167
00:05:02,818 --> 00:05:03,698
Biscott's.

168
00:05:03,698 --> 00:05:03,898
Yes.

169
00:05:04,058 --> 00:05:04,468
We did.

170
00:05:04,468 --> 00:05:04,898
We went over there.

171
00:05:04,898 --> 00:05:05,308
We met.

172
00:05:05,318 --> 00:05:07,868
He came over to one of our
old networking meetings.

173
00:05:07,868 --> 00:05:08,348
Oh my gosh.

174
00:05:08,348 --> 00:05:11,448
And that's what I told people is,
when they come and see us at the

175
00:05:11,448 --> 00:05:13,258
BNI now, they're like, Oh my gosh.

176
00:05:13,508 --> 00:05:14,738
We love this energy.

177
00:05:14,948 --> 00:05:15,878
You know, it's great.

178
00:05:15,888 --> 00:05:17,088
And I'm like, it's not new.

179
00:05:17,538 --> 00:05:17,808
Yeah.

180
00:05:17,808 --> 00:05:18,138
I'm like, we've

181
00:05:18,138 --> 00:05:19,748
had this since that other place.

182
00:05:19,798 --> 00:05:20,318
Yeah, yeah.

183
00:05:21,158 --> 00:05:21,628
Think about it.

184
00:05:21,638 --> 00:05:22,878
You came in and you even said that.

185
00:05:22,888 --> 00:05:23,748
You're like, this is different.

186
00:05:24,083 --> 00:05:25,593
We had a different vibe over there too.

187
00:05:25,993 --> 00:05:27,743
That's a, a super creative.

188
00:05:27,803 --> 00:05:29,433
The structure is so different.

189
00:05:29,443 --> 00:05:29,993
It is.

190
00:05:30,013 --> 00:05:30,343
It's

191
00:05:30,513 --> 00:05:34,403
BNI versus just a, a
simply a community network.

192
00:05:35,033 --> 00:05:35,900
Getting to know people.

193
00:05:35,900 --> 00:05:36,346
That's

194
00:05:36,346 --> 00:05:37,483
what we were doing over there.

195
00:05:37,483 --> 00:05:41,343
So, I always point that out and
tell people we're not in a honeymoon

196
00:05:41,343 --> 00:05:42,323
phase here at the Daybreak.

197
00:05:42,333 --> 00:05:43,413
This is community.

198
00:05:43,733 --> 00:05:47,923
This energy has been consistent through
the heart of it for over a year now.

199
00:05:48,183 --> 00:05:49,483
There's an energy in Daybreak

200
00:05:49,513 --> 00:05:49,823
though.

201
00:05:49,933 --> 00:05:50,413
There is.

202
00:05:50,433 --> 00:05:52,263
People come here for a reason.

203
00:05:52,263 --> 00:05:52,413
It is.

204
00:05:52,573 --> 00:05:56,113
It's in Utah, but not like Utah.

205
00:05:56,673 --> 00:05:57,163
Can I say that?

206
00:05:57,253 --> 00:05:57,393
Yeah.

207
00:05:57,393 --> 00:05:59,143
You can't because I'm not from here.

208
00:05:59,223 --> 00:05:59,863
I'm an outsider.

209
00:06:00,213 --> 00:06:00,903
Listen to this accent.

210
00:06:00,903 --> 00:06:01,983
You can't tell?

211
00:06:02,513 --> 00:06:04,863
You're not alone in this community
and that's what I tell people.

212
00:06:04,863 --> 00:06:07,193
There's a lot of transplants here.

213
00:06:07,263 --> 00:06:07,573
Yeah.

214
00:06:07,573 --> 00:06:09,663
Because people that, you know,
you're Googling, Hey, where

215
00:06:09,663 --> 00:06:10,653
do we, where can we live?

216
00:06:10,653 --> 00:06:11,443
Salt Lake County.

217
00:06:11,443 --> 00:06:16,013
I commute to either, you know, we're
unique in that you can commute to um,

218
00:06:16,023 --> 00:06:19,453
downtown Salt Lake or if you work at the
Point of the Mountain in Utah County.

219
00:06:19,853 --> 00:06:23,023
Daybreak has new construction,
it's a sense of community, or

220
00:06:23,033 --> 00:06:26,393
existing homes, townhomes, single
family homes, all of the things.

221
00:06:27,253 --> 00:06:29,043
You never have to leave it, to be

222
00:06:29,183 --> 00:06:29,723
honest.

223
00:06:29,823 --> 00:06:32,083
I mean, you might have to go to Target.

224
00:06:32,133 --> 00:06:34,983
Listen, like, venture out
past, over to the Costco.

225
00:06:34,983 --> 00:06:36,673
I know, get permission to go to Costco.

226
00:06:36,843 --> 00:06:37,623
I know, it's true.

227
00:06:37,623 --> 00:06:41,223
But, you hit it right there
though, because That is our goal.

228
00:06:41,223 --> 00:06:44,883
We want to highlight small businesses so
that we don't have to leave this area,

229
00:06:44,943 --> 00:06:45,783
but it's very diverse.

230
00:06:46,858 --> 00:06:48,423
Is the, is the, not only that

231
00:06:48,423 --> 00:06:50,373
we got one of the more diverse rooms.

232
00:06:50,883 --> 00:06:54,963
I'll be, I'll be blunt, we got one of
the more diverse rooms you could go into.

233
00:06:55,053 --> 00:06:55,918
Anywhere in Utah?

234
00:06:56,058 --> 00:06:56,438
Is that what you mean?

235
00:06:56,558 --> 00:06:57,318
I think anywhere in Utah.

236
00:06:57,483 --> 00:06:58,173
Oh, sure, sure.

237
00:06:58,593 --> 00:06:58,953
Oh, yes.

238
00:06:58,958 --> 00:06:59,118
With

239
00:06:59,343 --> 00:07:02,703
what we have right now
as far as your demo from.

240
00:07:03,113 --> 00:07:06,253
Male to female, even ages,
where they're from, all that

241
00:07:06,283 --> 00:07:07,868
is totally different in here.

242
00:07:07,868 --> 00:07:09,368
Ethnicity, culture, all that.

243
00:07:09,368 --> 00:07:10,118
Demographics, culture,

244
00:07:10,118 --> 00:07:10,763
races, yeah.

245
00:07:11,493 --> 00:07:12,883
But that represents Daybreak.

246
00:07:13,553 --> 00:07:14,053
It is.

247
00:07:14,103 --> 00:07:14,373
Yeah.

248
00:07:14,903 --> 00:07:17,033
That's why people, they're
building so many homes.

249
00:07:17,033 --> 00:07:19,493
I just, all my neighbors, very
few of them are from Utah.

250
00:07:19,593 --> 00:07:20,003
How long

251
00:07:20,073 --> 00:07:20,883
have you been in Daybreak?

252
00:07:21,063 --> 00:07:21,903
Four and a half years now.

253
00:07:22,203 --> 00:07:24,303
You came from, you were in
Vegas at one point, man.

254
00:07:24,823 --> 00:07:27,383
That was, yeah, like, 20 years ago.

255
00:07:27,583 --> 00:07:30,683
So then we built that house over
in Jones Meadows in South Jordan.

256
00:07:30,843 --> 00:07:31,233
Okay.

257
00:07:31,263 --> 00:07:34,143
Just crossed from the Costs
outdoor, those big houses.

258
00:07:34,153 --> 00:07:34,553
Yeah.

259
00:07:34,883 --> 00:07:37,413
Finally just got sick of
the big house, the big yard.

260
00:07:37,803 --> 00:07:38,993
It's a lot to maintain.

261
00:07:39,003 --> 00:07:41,813
Keeping up with the
Joneses and all that stuff.

262
00:07:41,813 --> 00:07:46,273
And my wife found a house, you know,
we had a huge home, but it didn't

263
00:07:46,273 --> 00:07:48,043
have really good living space.

264
00:07:48,063 --> 00:07:51,543
And she saw that, that property
over in Springhouse and

265
00:07:51,543 --> 00:07:52,573
said, look at this kitchen.

266
00:07:52,573 --> 00:07:53,213
It's huge.

267
00:07:53,213 --> 00:07:54,223
Look at this living room.

268
00:07:54,433 --> 00:07:55,043
It's huge.

269
00:07:55,718 --> 00:07:58,728
Because we had a big house and
didn't use 80 percent of it.

270
00:07:58,808 --> 00:08:01,708
Because your kids were grown at that
point, kind of phasing out, and you're

271
00:08:01,708 --> 00:08:03,508
like, why do we need is a big kitchen,

272
00:08:03,508 --> 00:08:04,378
a big living room.

273
00:08:04,793 --> 00:08:06,043
And then everything else can be adequate.

274
00:08:06,043 --> 00:08:07,143
It's a gathering space.

275
00:08:07,413 --> 00:08:08,253
A hot tub.

276
00:08:08,273 --> 00:08:09,123
What about the hot tub?

277
00:08:09,133 --> 00:08:09,843
I have a hot tub.

278
00:08:10,603 --> 00:08:10,833
Daybreak.

279
00:08:11,023 --> 00:08:12,093
We all have a cool hot tub.

280
00:08:12,583 --> 00:08:13,533
Yeah, that's it.

281
00:08:13,763 --> 00:08:15,163
We all have that gathering place.

282
00:08:16,333 --> 00:08:18,593
People are in the hot tub in the
middle of winter while it's snowing.

283
00:08:18,593 --> 00:08:19,533
It's

284
00:08:19,533 --> 00:08:20,463
so nice.

285
00:08:20,463 --> 00:08:23,163
It's like one of my favorite
things in the winter in Utah.

286
00:08:23,203 --> 00:08:23,543
That's like the

287
00:08:23,543 --> 00:08:24,393
kind of stuff you see in the movies.

288
00:08:24,393 --> 00:08:24,683
It's like my only

289
00:08:24,683 --> 00:08:25,513
favorite thing about winter.

290
00:08:25,933 --> 00:08:27,553
We live in a movie.

291
00:08:27,553 --> 00:08:29,853
Some people would say the
Truman Show for Daybreak.

292
00:08:30,503 --> 00:08:31,253
But we

293
00:08:31,253 --> 00:08:31,513
do.

294
00:08:31,913 --> 00:08:33,383
It's so beautiful here all the time.

295
00:08:33,843 --> 00:08:37,828
That if you are out in your hot tub
while it's snowing, like you don't,

296
00:08:37,828 --> 00:08:39,243
you don't do it anywhere else.

297
00:08:39,533 --> 00:08:39,723
Meet

298
00:08:39,723 --> 00:08:41,423
other people, you don't know
them, but the conversation.

299
00:08:41,423 --> 00:08:42,503
Wait a minute now, what kind of parties

300
00:08:42,503 --> 00:08:42,908
is he at?

301
00:08:42,908 --> 00:08:43,853
These are the B& R parties?

302
00:08:43,853 --> 00:08:44,673
Fantastic.

303
00:08:44,673 --> 00:08:45,373
Fun ones.

304
00:08:45,563 --> 00:08:46,583
Look, they're networking.

305
00:08:46,623 --> 00:08:49,483
Oh, okay.

306
00:08:49,483 --> 00:08:50,273
Hey, I'm open minded.

307
00:08:51,463 --> 00:08:53,313
Is this some of Ben
Brown's polygamous stuff?

308
00:08:53,313 --> 00:08:54,163
It could be,

309
00:08:54,163 --> 00:08:55,708
we'll have to

310
00:08:55,708 --> 00:08:56,738
ask him.

311
00:08:56,738 --> 00:08:57,768
Yeah, okay.

312
00:08:57,768 --> 00:08:59,313
No, no, no,

313
00:08:59,313 --> 00:08:59,828
yeah.

314
00:08:59,828 --> 00:09:03,041
Listen, we're gonna be, we're gonna be
getting people in trouble right here, so.

315
00:09:03,041 --> 00:09:03,243
Yeah.

316
00:09:04,233 --> 00:09:04,633
I have a

317
00:09:04,633 --> 00:09:05,303
good reputation.

318
00:09:05,303 --> 00:09:05,783
Careful what you say.

319
00:09:05,953 --> 00:09:07,083
Yeah, I'm being careful here.

320
00:09:08,293 --> 00:09:09,323
It's all in good fun.

321
00:09:09,333 --> 00:09:14,213
But I do want to ask serious
questions because BNI is Business

322
00:09:14,243 --> 00:09:15,333
Networking International.

323
00:09:15,333 --> 00:09:16,613
It really is international.

324
00:09:16,783 --> 00:09:17,583
How did you get into BNI?

325
00:09:17,593 --> 00:09:18,273
Exactly.

326
00:09:18,273 --> 00:09:19,233
How did you get roped into this?

327
00:09:19,993 --> 00:09:20,233
When

328
00:09:20,233 --> 00:09:23,123
I moved from Las Vegas,
I hired a business coach.

329
00:09:23,313 --> 00:09:23,773
Jen.

330
00:09:24,603 --> 00:09:25,623
She's from Indiana.

331
00:09:25,683 --> 00:09:26,623
Cute little Jen.

332
00:09:26,873 --> 00:09:29,443
And you look at her and think,
she's the sweetest thing ever.

333
00:09:30,808 --> 00:09:32,418
You need someone to hold you accountable.

334
00:09:32,458 --> 00:09:33,908
You gotta have that person.

335
00:09:33,908 --> 00:09:34,948
Jen was that person.

336
00:09:34,948 --> 00:09:38,018
I hired her because she
had a mouth like a trucker.

337
00:09:38,098 --> 00:09:38,778
Oh,

338
00:09:38,908 --> 00:09:39,388
and

339
00:09:39,388 --> 00:09:41,038
Jen's scary.

340
00:09:41,098 --> 00:09:41,598
Sounds like her.

341
00:09:41,718 --> 00:09:42,688
My wife Jen.

342
00:09:42,818 --> 00:09:43,608
Okay, I'm kidding.

343
00:09:43,628 --> 00:09:44,878
Couldn't hold me accountable.

344
00:09:44,878 --> 00:09:47,728
But this Jen, Jennifer
Hines, if you're watching.

345
00:09:47,798 --> 00:09:47,928
Yeah.

346
00:09:49,228 --> 00:09:53,128
She would make me do things
that I wasn't gonna do and she

347
00:09:53,128 --> 00:09:54,538
says you moved here from Vegas.

348
00:09:54,538 --> 00:09:56,058
You don't know a lot of people.

349
00:09:56,408 --> 00:09:58,778
You've got to get involved in
the community because I came

350
00:09:58,808 --> 00:10:03,588
as a business coach, bought a
franchise with Action Coach and

351
00:10:03,588 --> 00:10:05,698
she said, you've got to join a BNI.

352
00:10:06,078 --> 00:10:07,238
And I'm like, looked it up.

353
00:10:07,778 --> 00:10:10,578
B M I. That's body mass index.

354
00:10:10,578 --> 00:10:11,218
That's what I kept thinking.

355
00:10:11,218 --> 00:10:11,818
Am I fat?

356
00:10:11,848 --> 00:10:12,538
Am I fat?

357
00:10:12,568 --> 00:10:17,278
You know, and then and she's like,
no, business never get international.

358
00:10:17,308 --> 00:10:22,738
And I showed up to a meeting in Murray at
Riggles Cafe on 53rd and the University of

359
00:10:22,738 --> 00:10:24,668
Phoenix building, I think is where it was.

360
00:10:25,188 --> 00:10:29,218
And, back then, before we had
apps and electronics and stuff,

361
00:10:29,258 --> 00:10:31,078
everything was done on paper.

362
00:10:32,178 --> 00:10:36,208
And we didn't, we didn't show a
powerpoint, and uh, I just saw these

363
00:10:36,218 --> 00:10:38,378
green slips of paper going back and forth.

364
00:10:38,378 --> 00:10:41,878
And I'm sitting next to an accountant,
Ken Klinger was his name, still in BNI.

365
00:10:42,313 --> 00:10:43,033
20 years.

366
00:10:43,103 --> 00:10:45,583
And he, I'm like, what is this?

367
00:10:46,053 --> 00:10:47,103
He goes, it's money.

368
00:10:47,113 --> 00:10:47,963
He said it just like that.

369
00:10:47,963 --> 00:10:48,603
It's money.

370
00:10:49,273 --> 00:10:49,983
I'm like, what do you mean?

371
00:10:49,983 --> 00:10:52,463
He goes, these are referrals
from people we know.

372
00:10:52,793 --> 00:10:54,103
I signed up on the spot.

373
00:10:54,203 --> 00:10:57,463
And, uh, that's how I got
involved, invited 18 years ago.

374
00:10:57,463 --> 00:11:01,493
I wasn't a member for 11
years and then had a chance.

375
00:11:01,513 --> 00:11:05,203
My friend who owned BNI was
unfortunately going through a divorce

376
00:11:05,213 --> 00:11:07,033
and his wife owned half of it.

377
00:11:07,033 --> 00:11:11,818
And he just, he called me up and said,
Kameron, I gotta sell this quick.

378
00:11:12,108 --> 00:11:13,378
Oh, really quick.

379
00:11:13,598 --> 00:11:18,478
And I was like, I mean, so Mark and I
pulled up, pulled everything we had,

380
00:11:18,558 --> 00:11:22,018
drained all of our investments, bought it.

381
00:11:22,018 --> 00:11:24,088
And so the rest is history.

382
00:11:24,088 --> 00:11:24,998
The rest is history.

383
00:11:24,998 --> 00:11:27,138
And so, yeah, it has grown a lot.

384
00:11:27,138 --> 00:11:28,458
And so all we do is network.

385
00:11:28,528 --> 00:11:30,428
That's network to grow our business.

386
00:11:30,478 --> 00:11:30,818
Yeah.

387
00:11:30,878 --> 00:11:30,978
How

388
00:11:30,978 --> 00:11:32,138
many chapters do we have?

389
00:11:32,138 --> 00:11:33,168
55

390
00:11:33,168 --> 00:11:33,778
right now.

391
00:11:34,228 --> 00:11:34,498
That's

392
00:11:34,508 --> 00:11:35,208
just in Utah.

393
00:11:35,618 --> 00:11:38,098
No, no, just from point
of the mountain to Logan.

394
00:11:38,218 --> 00:11:38,578
Yeah.

395
00:11:38,903 --> 00:11:40,623
There's another 30 go South.

396
00:11:40,643 --> 00:11:41,863
Because there's BNI South too.

397
00:11:41,953 --> 00:11:43,663
How many chapters worldwide are there?

398
00:11:43,883 --> 00:11:44,353
Do you know?

399
00:11:44,843 --> 00:11:48,113
I know there's 330, 000 members.

400
00:11:48,473 --> 00:11:48,583
That's big.

401
00:11:48,593 --> 00:11:49,433
More than that.

402
00:11:49,443 --> 00:11:49,753
That's wild.

403
00:11:49,763 --> 00:11:49,923
In

404
00:11:49,923 --> 00:11:51,423
72 countries.

405
00:11:52,133 --> 00:11:55,843
You know, and even our technology on our
app now, if you give a referral to someone

406
00:11:55,843 --> 00:12:01,883
in Italy, Translate into their language
and they get the referral and vice versa

407
00:12:02,173 --> 00:12:05,163
I gotta tell you I got to speak to this
because this just happened to me last

408
00:12:05,163 --> 00:12:07,483
night My husband accepted a job in Canada.

409
00:12:07,513 --> 00:12:11,013
So anyway, we're looking and we're looking
for some real estate there And I'm like,

410
00:12:11,013 --> 00:12:14,153
who can I find I am with Keller Williams.

411
00:12:14,163 --> 00:12:15,973
So who can I find in BNI?

412
00:12:16,323 --> 00:12:18,853
That's Keller Williams
brokerage in Vancouver.

413
00:12:19,303 --> 00:12:20,723
Yeah, like you can divide it.

414
00:12:20,823 --> 00:12:23,573
Yes I've already connected
with her yesterday.

415
00:12:23,883 --> 00:12:28,803
So, I mean, just that easy that
they, you know, make it that simple.

416
00:12:29,073 --> 00:12:32,393
Connect to, the resource, the area, done.

417
00:12:32,493 --> 00:12:36,203
I gave a referral to someone
in, in the Tuscany area.

418
00:12:37,343 --> 00:12:38,613
Someone bought a home.

419
00:12:38,993 --> 00:12:40,003
They were from Utah.

420
00:12:40,403 --> 00:12:45,323
They're selling 000 on the countryside,
but they all have mold in them.

421
00:12:45,783 --> 00:12:48,423
So they had to do a mold test
in order to pass the inspection.

422
00:12:48,453 --> 00:12:50,403
I gave a referral to a home inspector.

423
00:12:51,328 --> 00:12:52,318
in Greece.

424
00:12:52,558 --> 00:12:52,978
Wow.

425
00:12:52,978 --> 00:12:54,918
It worked.

426
00:12:55,188 --> 00:12:55,398
Yeah.

427
00:12:55,438 --> 00:12:55,628
That's

428
00:12:55,628 --> 00:12:56,258
incredible.

429
00:12:56,998 --> 00:12:59,668
I bet there's, there's gotta be
millions of stories like these, right?

430
00:13:00,098 --> 00:13:00,588
There are.

431
00:13:00,788 --> 00:13:01,108
Yeah.

432
00:13:01,118 --> 00:13:01,618
Well, yeah.

433
00:13:01,628 --> 00:13:04,388
At some point you're having the,
the, the conversation with Ivan.

434
00:13:04,468 --> 00:13:04,938
I am.

435
00:13:04,938 --> 00:13:06,728
He's so hard to get in touch with.

436
00:13:06,728 --> 00:13:09,308
Yeah.

437
00:13:09,308 --> 00:13:12,788
Dana, you should come to Houston
with me next month and we'll get him.

438
00:13:12,958 --> 00:13:13,508
There you go.

439
00:13:13,548 --> 00:13:13,728
Is he

440
00:13:13,728 --> 00:13:14,068
going to be there?

441
00:13:14,118 --> 00:13:14,508
I go.

442
00:13:14,698 --> 00:13:16,778
It's a conference, national conference.

443
00:13:17,688 --> 00:13:17,818
How

444
00:13:17,818 --> 00:13:18,378
do we get in?

445
00:13:18,953 --> 00:13:19,533
How did we go?

446
00:13:19,823 --> 00:13:20,143
I'll tell

447
00:13:20,143 --> 00:13:20,173
them.

448
00:13:20,483 --> 00:13:21,913
It's like, hey Blane's got them.

449
00:13:21,923 --> 00:13:22,293
There you go.

450
00:13:22,333 --> 00:13:22,813
Let's do it.

451
00:13:22,813 --> 00:13:23,333
There you go.

452
00:13:23,773 --> 00:13:24,273
Look at this.

453
00:13:24,273 --> 00:13:25,983
We need to have Kameron
on the show more often.

454
00:13:25,993 --> 00:13:26,613
I love that.

455
00:13:26,903 --> 00:13:27,703
I love, yeah.

456
00:13:27,713 --> 00:13:28,463
Where else can we go?

457
00:13:29,083 --> 00:13:29,693
What other trips you got?

458
00:13:29,903 --> 00:13:31,063
The next one's in Sydney.

459
00:13:31,253 --> 00:13:31,983
After that it's in Sydney.

460
00:13:32,133 --> 00:13:32,653
I did see that.

461
00:13:32,653 --> 00:13:33,683
I've seen that on the B& R website.

462
00:13:33,803 --> 00:13:34,533
I've been doing our

463
00:13:34,623 --> 00:13:36,133
Is this my free pass to Sydney?

464
00:13:36,653 --> 00:13:36,903
Can I?

465
00:13:36,903 --> 00:13:37,383
What is it?

466
00:13:38,483 --> 00:13:39,191
Hold on a minute.

467
00:13:39,191 --> 00:13:39,907
What does this mean?

468
00:13:39,907 --> 00:13:40,444
You're halfway there.

469
00:13:40,444 --> 00:13:40,623
Does

470
00:13:40,623 --> 00:13:41,503
this get me into Sydney?

471
00:13:41,623 --> 00:13:41,953
Wait a minute.

472
00:13:41,953 --> 00:13:42,563
What is it?

473
00:13:42,633 --> 00:13:43,063
Let me see this.

474
00:13:44,333 --> 00:13:45,293
The Go Gibber Award.

475
00:13:45,293 --> 00:13:45,783
Chapter

476
00:13:45,823 --> 00:13:46,393
Go Gibber.

477
00:13:47,373 --> 00:13:47,733
What?

478
00:13:48,113 --> 00:13:48,463
Uh oh.

479
00:13:48,793 --> 00:13:49,293
How did you get this?

480
00:13:49,293 --> 00:13:50,633
I sent some jealousy.

481
00:13:50,663 --> 00:13:51,473
I, you know.

482
00:13:51,483 --> 00:13:52,053
Where's mine?

483
00:13:52,183 --> 00:13:54,463
I brought that out because
I wanted to ask Kameron.

484
00:13:54,483 --> 00:13:55,873
What do you got to do to get this?

485
00:13:55,873 --> 00:13:57,593
Because I was given this today.

486
00:13:57,603 --> 00:13:57,893
So,

487
00:13:57,903 --> 00:14:01,703
what you do is, every
single year we do an awards.

488
00:14:02,753 --> 00:14:06,243
for all of our members and
for the chapters that have

489
00:14:06,243 --> 00:14:07,443
been working really hard.

490
00:14:07,583 --> 00:14:07,963
Yeah.

491
00:14:07,993 --> 00:14:08,083
I

492
00:14:08,083 --> 00:14:10,393
think you, did you, were
you on it the other day?

493
00:14:10,883 --> 00:14:11,673
It was on Zoom.

494
00:14:11,703 --> 00:14:11,943
Yep.

495
00:14:12,283 --> 00:14:16,573
And so the GoGiver award is given
one member in each chapter each year.

496
00:14:16,573 --> 00:14:18,703
It's voted upon by your peers.

497
00:14:19,533 --> 00:14:22,113
And so you guys didn't get to vote.

498
00:14:22,213 --> 00:14:23,553
And so I gave it to her this year.

499
00:14:23,563 --> 00:14:26,813
Oh, but she started the group.

500
00:14:27,743 --> 00:14:29,483
She did a whole, she started the group.

501
00:14:30,113 --> 00:14:31,273
And so, yeah, we got this.

502
00:14:31,963 --> 00:14:35,743
So I've like I've got a couple extra
and I said I want to give some some

503
00:14:35,743 --> 00:14:38,073
recognition to people that really
because you would Have received it.

504
00:14:38,073 --> 00:14:38,523
Anyway,

505
00:14:38,533 --> 00:14:39,033
yeah,

506
00:14:39,043 --> 00:14:39,373
but

507
00:14:39,423 --> 00:14:40,203
well, thank you weren't

508
00:14:40,273 --> 00:14:44,763
around in 2024 for the people because
it was an award for 2000 for the full

509
00:14:44,763 --> 00:14:45,313
year.

510
00:14:45,323 --> 00:14:45,343
So

511
00:14:45,353 --> 00:14:48,623
it's next year You'll get it and maybe
you'll get it again that or Blane.

512
00:14:48,623 --> 00:14:50,373
You guys can fight over

513
00:14:50,373 --> 00:14:50,723
it.

514
00:14:50,723 --> 00:14:53,233
It'll be like competition
between you and I. I love

515
00:14:53,233 --> 00:14:53,473
that.

516
00:14:53,483 --> 00:14:57,313
See now that's something we can set up
because it's one of our core values Yes

517
00:14:58,248 --> 00:15:00,488
One of our choreo values is recognition.

518
00:15:00,498 --> 00:15:01,028
That's right.

519
00:15:01,058 --> 00:15:02,158
Acknowledge me.

520
00:15:02,998 --> 00:15:06,458
That's not, it's also Giver's Game.

521
00:15:06,668 --> 00:15:09,588
So, what are you doing
to give back, Blane?

522
00:15:09,628 --> 00:15:10,788
Yes, I know, I know.

523
00:15:10,818 --> 00:15:12,628
Giver's Game is actually my favorite one.

524
00:15:12,638 --> 00:15:13,068
Yeah.

525
00:15:13,108 --> 00:15:15,078
It is, because I looked at
myself, I was like, well, I've

526
00:15:15,078 --> 00:15:17,448
been giving my whole career.

527
00:15:18,783 --> 00:15:19,893
This isn't new for me.

528
00:15:19,893 --> 00:15:21,153
Like, let's see the game part.

529
00:15:21,563 --> 00:15:22,463
You know, exactly.

530
00:15:22,523 --> 00:15:23,593
That's kind of how I thought about it.

531
00:15:23,603 --> 00:15:24,493
It does happen.

532
00:15:24,503 --> 00:15:27,673
It doesn't always happen immediately
and it doesn't even always

533
00:15:27,673 --> 00:15:29,863
reciprocate in money for money.

534
00:15:30,493 --> 00:15:34,383
It reciprocates in maybe
money for introduction.

535
00:15:34,813 --> 00:15:35,223
Yep.

536
00:15:35,843 --> 00:15:39,263
And we've putting you in
front of somebody else.

537
00:15:39,263 --> 00:15:44,073
When I was in the meth business,
I gave a lot of referrals to a lot

538
00:15:44,073 --> 00:15:48,243
of different people, but I needed
to go visit to, to get my name out.

539
00:15:48,243 --> 00:15:51,943
And so I used to ask people who are
the brokers, you know, real estate

540
00:15:51,943 --> 00:15:55,693
brokers, because I want to teach CEU
classes in front of these brokers.

541
00:15:56,463 --> 00:15:59,833
And if I gave them a referral, they
were more than willing to go to their

542
00:15:59,833 --> 00:16:03,603
brokers and say, I want Kameron to
come over and do an hour class on

543
00:16:04,213 --> 00:16:07,483
what to look for in these meth, in
these homes so they could do testing.

544
00:16:07,483 --> 00:16:09,833
And so it worked out really well for us.

545
00:16:09,843 --> 00:16:10,323
Really well.

546
00:16:10,383 --> 00:16:15,433
Yeah, it's not always money for money
can be money for introduction I mean

547
00:16:15,443 --> 00:16:19,463
money for an introduction that will
put you in front of the right audience.

548
00:16:19,463 --> 00:16:24,873
It's all about who are the people That
can give you the business and sometimes

549
00:16:24,873 --> 00:16:26,703
they're not even in your chapter,

550
00:16:26,733 --> 00:16:28,913
but somebody knows somebody
well That's somebody knows

551
00:16:28,923 --> 00:16:34,323
somebody that's why that's why I say we
say that networking and relationships

552
00:16:34,503 --> 00:16:38,423
are worth more than money that's because
That's what builds your money that's what

553
00:16:38,423 --> 00:16:42,038
builds any kind of money off of is The
relationship you get with someone else.

554
00:16:42,068 --> 00:16:43,118
Well, like Ben Brown,

555
00:16:43,118 --> 00:16:47,348
you know, he's, he's hard and
not hard to give a referral to.

556
00:16:47,368 --> 00:16:51,828
He is the only comedian in BNI and might
be the only one in the whole world.

557
00:16:52,488 --> 00:16:56,538
And so, but when we, he and I were
talking, I said, who do you need to meet?

558
00:16:56,538 --> 00:16:58,138
He goes, who do you know in Las Vegas?

559
00:16:58,348 --> 00:17:02,328
So we got on a phone call
immediately with somebody and.

560
00:17:03,283 --> 00:17:06,813
Just found out that the executive
director's husband is in the

561
00:17:06,823 --> 00:17:08,923
entertainment business in Las Vegas.

562
00:17:08,933 --> 00:17:09,343
Yeah.

563
00:17:09,763 --> 00:17:13,343
And so they're, I don't know
if they've met already, but

564
00:17:13,343 --> 00:17:14,633
I know they're going to meet.

565
00:17:15,113 --> 00:17:17,963
And then that gentleman
probably knows people.

566
00:17:18,708 --> 00:17:19,578
That Ben needs to know.

567
00:17:19,758 --> 00:17:20,128
What?

568
00:17:20,328 --> 00:17:23,278
Because Ben is, he's at the bottom
and, but you can see him, he's

569
00:17:23,278 --> 00:17:24,898
starting to find those things quickly.

570
00:17:24,898 --> 00:17:25,218
He's coming quick.

571
00:17:25,218 --> 00:17:25,788
He's coming quick.

572
00:17:26,048 --> 00:17:26,508
He's got

573
00:17:26,508 --> 00:17:28,438
shows in Utah, shows in Vegas.

574
00:17:28,448 --> 00:17:29,248
He's in Atlantic City.

575
00:17:29,408 --> 00:17:30,278
He's in Atlantic City today.

576
00:17:30,278 --> 00:17:31,808
In Atlantic City today.

577
00:17:31,948 --> 00:17:37,858
What other stories like that, like what
examples do you have of, don't have to

578
00:17:37,858 --> 00:17:43,208
name somebody, but have you seen somebody
just literally come in with, you know,

579
00:17:43,218 --> 00:17:46,358
with, let's just say with a knapsack on
their back, you know, you know, the hobo.

580
00:17:46,368 --> 00:17:47,808
Have you ever seen somebody come
in with a knapsack on their back?

581
00:17:48,078 --> 00:17:50,358
And then the fastest that
they've ever come out with a

582
00:17:50,358 --> 00:17:51,888
crown on basically is what I'm.

583
00:17:51,888 --> 00:17:52,288
Yeah,

584
00:17:52,288 --> 00:17:56,308
actually I've, there was a hand, there
is a handyman and he, I don't think he

585
00:17:56,308 --> 00:17:58,008
would care because he made a video for me.

586
00:17:58,008 --> 00:17:59,108
Name's Caleb Savage.

587
00:17:59,218 --> 00:17:59,468
Okay.

588
00:17:59,548 --> 00:18:00,038
Savage.

589
00:18:00,508 --> 00:18:03,758
And in his first eight months,
he's like, I didn't know if I

590
00:18:03,758 --> 00:18:05,248
wanted to get involved in this.

591
00:18:05,388 --> 00:18:06,658
I didn't know if I wanted to.

592
00:18:06,688 --> 00:18:08,218
And he goes, but I'm here to tell you.

593
00:18:08,928 --> 00:18:10,708
And Caleb's a Caleb.

594
00:18:10,708 --> 00:18:11,758
If you see this, love you.

595
00:18:11,838 --> 00:18:14,028
But he looks very hardened.

596
00:18:14,118 --> 00:18:14,668
He is.

597
00:18:14,708 --> 00:18:15,218
And, uh.

598
00:18:15,228 --> 00:18:15,638
I mean, look

599
00:18:15,638 --> 00:18:15,688
at

600
00:18:15,718 --> 00:18:15,908
me.

601
00:18:15,908 --> 00:18:17,433
I'm not the only one.

602
00:18:19,523 --> 00:18:20,603
No comment, Blane.

603
00:18:22,853 --> 00:18:24,433
I got scissors, please.

604
00:18:24,503 --> 00:18:25,403
I know, I know.

605
00:18:25,413 --> 00:18:29,883
No, but he said in my first
eight months, on his video, he

606
00:18:29,883 --> 00:18:33,903
goes, I made an extra 120, 000.

607
00:18:34,123 --> 00:18:34,383
What?

608
00:18:34,513 --> 00:18:34,963
And he goes, I

609
00:18:34,963 --> 00:18:36,543
didn't think this was going to work.

610
00:18:37,023 --> 00:18:37,383
Wow.

611
00:18:37,393 --> 00:18:41,283
So, Jen, who I introduced
you to, another story, but.

612
00:18:41,443 --> 00:18:42,223
For another day.

613
00:18:43,313 --> 00:18:44,093
Not for this one.

614
00:18:44,573 --> 00:18:46,383
But, yeah, she.

615
00:18:46,878 --> 00:18:47,958
She was a single mother.

616
00:18:49,498 --> 00:18:52,368
Came to BNI doing property management.

617
00:18:52,488 --> 00:18:52,868
Ah,

618
00:18:53,118 --> 00:18:57,668
she was a real estate agent, but doing
property management and then she got

619
00:18:57,668 --> 00:19:02,048
involved and she started building her
networks just like we've been talking

620
00:19:02,048 --> 00:19:07,228
about and she She's been sharing me
her revenue that she's been making.

621
00:19:07,368 --> 00:19:08,368
She shared with me too.

622
00:19:08,398 --> 00:19:08,978
Awesome.

623
00:19:09,028 --> 00:19:10,318
It's yeah, it's

624
00:19:10,318 --> 00:19:12,268
phenomenal what she's done She's

625
00:19:12,378 --> 00:19:13,178
become a millionaire.

626
00:19:13,638 --> 00:19:15,008
All right, nice.

627
00:19:15,018 --> 00:19:21,458
So and going from single mom with two
daughters to Now has a mixed family.

628
00:19:21,628 --> 00:19:22,018
Yeah, you

629
00:19:22,018 --> 00:19:27,693
know another Brady Bunch story and
She's one of the top 5 percent in youth.

630
00:19:27,713 --> 00:19:32,463
I don't know 5%, 10 percent I don't know,
but she's just phenomenal and she lives

631
00:19:32,463 --> 00:19:34,553
that givers game mentality as I will.

632
00:19:35,173 --> 00:19:36,663
She's not a hard seller.

633
00:19:36,703 --> 00:19:41,043
She builds friendships and she's
like, I'm here when you need me.

634
00:19:41,073 --> 00:19:42,433
And people just love that.

635
00:19:42,883 --> 00:19:45,523
I had a one to one with her and so
I can speak a little bit to this.

636
00:19:45,523 --> 00:19:46,173
She was amazing.

637
00:19:46,388 --> 00:19:49,118
She was so gracious with her
time, like somebody who is

638
00:19:49,118 --> 00:19:51,388
doing phenomenal things in BNI.

639
00:19:51,618 --> 00:19:51,698
That's awesome.

640
00:19:52,078 --> 00:19:56,518
And she's a real estate agent and so
we had that to connect on and she, I

641
00:19:56,538 --> 00:19:58,208
said like, what's your secret sauce?

642
00:19:58,218 --> 00:19:58,238
Yeah.

643
00:19:58,568 --> 00:20:01,938
What's the, cause I'm just
launching this chapter, like what?

644
00:20:01,968 --> 00:20:06,098
And she goes, it's not,
none of it is about you.

645
00:20:06,448 --> 00:20:10,978
It's all just about what can I
do to be a resource to help other

646
00:20:10,978 --> 00:20:13,638
people and it all just comes back.

647
00:20:13,768 --> 00:20:14,468
Giver's game.

648
00:20:14,468 --> 00:20:15,078
Giver's game.

649
00:20:15,228 --> 00:20:17,338
Like that is the whole thing of BNI.

650
00:20:17,398 --> 00:20:17,528
And

651
00:20:17,528 --> 00:20:18,458
put your time in.

652
00:20:18,838 --> 00:20:19,358
Yeah.

653
00:20:19,398 --> 00:20:20,708
Trust takes time.

654
00:20:20,738 --> 00:20:21,358
Yes.

655
00:20:21,368 --> 00:20:25,223
Fortunately, we'll get people in
any networking, they just come in

656
00:20:25,223 --> 00:20:26,598
and they're throwing cards at you.

657
00:20:27,148 --> 00:20:29,678
Buy my product, buy my products,
come do this, come do that.

658
00:20:29,678 --> 00:20:30,198
That's not a giver's

659
00:20:30,408 --> 00:20:30,988
game mentality.

660
00:20:30,998 --> 00:20:31,328
Without

661
00:20:31,328 --> 00:20:32,518
building a relationship.

662
00:20:32,548 --> 00:20:32,708
It's like.

663
00:20:33,223 --> 00:20:34,343
I know a hundred plumbers.

664
00:20:34,343 --> 00:20:35,503
Why would I use you?

665
00:20:35,503 --> 00:20:37,003
Because you gave me a card

666
00:20:37,003 --> 00:20:38,293
at

667
00:20:38,293 --> 00:20:38,903
a restaurant.

668
00:20:38,913 --> 00:20:39,353
Do I know

669
00:20:39,523 --> 00:20:39,743
you?

670
00:20:39,923 --> 00:20:40,543
Do I like you?

671
00:20:40,573 --> 00:20:41,253
Do I trust you?

672
00:20:41,843 --> 00:20:44,933
You know, when we get in this
group, you're going to find the

673
00:20:44,933 --> 00:20:48,323
cream always rises to the top
in all the groups and stuff.

674
00:20:48,363 --> 00:20:53,563
And yeah, and in many chapters,
everyone rises to the top.

675
00:20:53,593 --> 00:20:56,263
And then visitors come in
and just like, holy cow.

676
00:20:57,083 --> 00:20:58,623
We're starting to see
that with your group.

677
00:20:58,683 --> 00:21:00,323
Cause I'm getting a call every week.

678
00:21:01,593 --> 00:21:02,683
Can I transfer to your group?

679
00:21:02,693 --> 00:21:03,523
Yeah.

680
00:21:03,523 --> 00:21:04,598
Thanks guys.

681
00:21:04,598 --> 00:21:05,136
Can

682
00:21:05,136 --> 00:21:05,673
I

683
00:21:05,673 --> 00:21:06,253
say no?

684
00:21:07,793 --> 00:21:07,993
No.

685
00:21:07,993 --> 00:21:08,473
What do they got?

686
00:21:08,473 --> 00:21:09,293
They got bribing?

687
00:21:09,323 --> 00:21:09,793
What do they got

688
00:21:09,853 --> 00:21:10,703
to bribe us?

689
00:21:10,753 --> 00:21:10,943
We're

690
00:21:11,193 --> 00:21:12,503
fun Blane.

691
00:21:12,503 --> 00:21:12,953
I know we

692
00:21:12,953 --> 00:21:13,273
are.

693
00:21:13,333 --> 00:21:15,903
This group will be over 40 before summer.

694
00:21:15,973 --> 00:21:16,413
Yeah.

695
00:21:16,803 --> 00:21:16,933
Easily.

696
00:21:16,933 --> 00:21:18,223
I think by April.

697
00:21:18,973 --> 00:21:20,933
So we're doing a cruise competition.

698
00:21:21,203 --> 00:21:22,253
You can cut this out if you want.

699
00:21:22,263 --> 00:21:22,663
No.

700
00:21:22,683 --> 00:21:25,833
We're doing a cruise competition
for the month of April.

701
00:21:26,503 --> 00:21:27,323
and May.

702
00:21:27,613 --> 00:21:30,883
And so anyone that sponsors them
goes into my drawing and they

703
00:21:30,883 --> 00:21:32,323
get to spend a week with Ivan

704
00:21:32,873 --> 00:21:33,783
on a cruise boat.

705
00:21:33,923 --> 00:21:34,413
There we go.

706
00:21:34,533 --> 00:21:34,913
What?

707
00:21:35,393 --> 00:21:36,383
That's where you ought to go.

708
00:21:36,433 --> 00:21:39,113
Maybe, can I just, can I be part of that?

709
00:21:39,383 --> 00:21:41,773
Just, not the winner, but go?

710
00:21:41,903 --> 00:21:42,283
Yeah.

711
00:21:42,783 --> 00:21:43,473
I think that would

712
00:21:43,473 --> 00:21:43,813
be.

713
00:21:43,973 --> 00:21:46,033
Cause they offer it to members as well.

714
00:21:46,363 --> 00:21:49,243
Can you imagine being
Ivan on a cruise boat?

715
00:21:49,903 --> 00:21:52,433
Maybe we could just wake up at two in
the morning and just start talking.

716
00:21:52,433 --> 00:21:54,833
Ivan would have his bottle of
wine right there next to you.

717
00:21:55,363 --> 00:21:56,063
I had a bottle of

718
00:21:56,063 --> 00:21:57,953
water because I gave up the sauce.

719
00:21:57,963 --> 00:21:58,583
Yes, you

720
00:21:58,583 --> 00:21:58,873
did.

721
00:21:59,203 --> 00:22:00,623
I might have a cigar or something.

722
00:22:00,623 --> 00:22:01,633
No, no.

723
00:22:01,633 --> 00:22:02,703
Let's get that video.

724
00:22:02,703 --> 00:22:03,930
That would be fun.

725
00:22:03,930 --> 00:22:06,383
We could get some
incredible, I'm serious here.

726
00:22:06,383 --> 00:22:10,893
We could get some incredible footage and
stuff that, I mean, he's, he's excluded.

727
00:22:11,273 --> 00:22:11,823
He's isolated.

728
00:22:11,873 --> 00:22:13,373
Every Regan's bringing two people.

729
00:22:14,333 --> 00:22:14,783
So,

730
00:22:15,173 --> 00:22:16,463
to go on that cruise with Ivan.

731
00:22:16,703 --> 00:22:18,193
I know two really awesome people.

732
00:22:18,603 --> 00:22:20,243
I don't know, I'm just
going to throw it out there.

733
00:22:21,373 --> 00:22:21,663
Look at us.

734
00:22:21,743 --> 00:22:22,473
That would be fun.

735
00:22:22,793 --> 00:22:23,763
We could do, I'm serious.

736
00:22:24,003 --> 00:22:27,603
We could do a whole broadcast
like uh, production type thing.

737
00:22:27,613 --> 00:22:29,103
We could get some really good stuff.

738
00:22:29,103 --> 00:22:29,843
Sponsor someone.

739
00:22:30,383 --> 00:22:30,843
Wink, wink.

740
00:22:31,403 --> 00:22:32,153
Let's do that, let's talk.

741
00:22:32,313 --> 00:22:32,793
Let's talk.

742
00:22:32,853 --> 00:22:33,243
Let's talk.

743
00:22:33,393 --> 00:22:35,103
How many We might pay for the whole thing.

744
00:22:35,443 --> 00:22:35,913
Let's talk.

745
00:22:36,543 --> 00:22:37,203
I think we could

746
00:22:37,213 --> 00:22:37,973
make something.

747
00:22:38,053 --> 00:22:39,703
So sponsorship in 2025?

748
00:22:39,703 --> 00:22:40,083
Subs by www.

749
00:22:41,088 --> 00:22:41,298
There you go.

750
00:22:41,938 --> 00:22:42,598
April, May.

751
00:22:42,638 --> 00:22:43,318
It's a drawing.

752
00:22:43,338 --> 00:22:43,498
Oh,

753
00:22:43,498 --> 00:22:43,938
April, May.

754
00:22:43,968 --> 00:22:44,138
But I

755
00:22:44,138 --> 00:22:45,108
give other prizes too.

756
00:22:45,388 --> 00:22:45,548
Okay.

757
00:22:45,878 --> 00:22:46,788
We do it every year.

758
00:22:46,908 --> 00:22:47,258
Interesting.

759
00:22:47,348 --> 00:22:47,448
And

760
00:22:47,448 --> 00:22:48,058
where's that cruise at?

761
00:22:48,058 --> 00:22:49,338
On the, uh, Kerr Lake over here?

762
00:22:49,358 --> 00:22:49,968
Or is that?

763
00:22:50,248 --> 00:22:50,978
We're going somewhere.

764
00:22:51,358 --> 00:22:53,728
It's going, I think this
year it's going to St.

765
00:22:53,728 --> 00:22:54,078
Croix.

766
00:22:54,663 --> 00:22:56,103
Oh my gosh.

767
00:22:56,103 --> 00:22:56,463
There we go.

768
00:22:56,463 --> 00:22:57,723
We are, we gotta get on it.

769
00:22:57,903 --> 00:22:59,463
Yeah, I think, I think that's
what I was told St. Croix.

770
00:22:59,463 --> 00:23:00,123
Listen, we'll just be

771
00:23:00,123 --> 00:23:00,963
the media group.

772
00:23:00,963 --> 00:23:01,083
That's

773
00:23:01,083 --> 00:23:01,593
what I'm saying.

774
00:23:01,593 --> 00:23:02,913
We, that's all we gotta do.

775
00:23:02,913 --> 00:23:04,563
We should be, A media group can take

776
00:23:04,563 --> 00:23:06,018
video and pictures and

777
00:23:06,048 --> 00:23:06,338
Yeah.

778
00:23:06,338 --> 00:23:06,778
Look at us.

779
00:23:06,798 --> 00:23:08,793
Oh, I, I'm already see how B and i works.

780
00:23:08,793 --> 00:23:09,873
This is how B and I works.

781
00:23:09,873 --> 00:23:10,083
I've got

782
00:23:10,083 --> 00:23:10,533
it in my head.

783
00:23:10,533 --> 00:23:13,143
Because you could, we could put a
whole package together and say, Hey,

784
00:23:13,143 --> 00:23:14,403
here, here's what we did last time.

785
00:23:14,403 --> 00:23:14,763
And then

786
00:23:15,273 --> 00:23:15,693
yeah,

787
00:23:15,783 --> 00:23:16,113
when you do

788
00:23:16,113 --> 00:23:16,473
another one.

789
00:23:16,473 --> 00:23:19,083
But I really want you to talk
to 'em about funny stories.

790
00:23:19,083 --> 00:23:19,323
I do.

791
00:23:19,323 --> 00:23:19,938
I'm get some.

792
00:23:20,553 --> 00:23:22,623
Do something different because
everyone asks him the same question.

793
00:23:22,633 --> 00:23:23,473
I'm not going to, you know, I mean.

794
00:23:23,473 --> 00:23:24,333
How did this get started?

795
00:23:24,423 --> 00:23:24,893
Blah, blah, blah.

796
00:23:24,913 --> 00:23:25,433
No, no.

797
00:23:25,483 --> 00:23:25,703
We'll see.

798
00:23:26,573 --> 00:23:27,083
Be fun.

799
00:23:27,113 --> 00:23:27,783
I'm going to tell you right now.

800
00:23:27,793 --> 00:23:28,123
If me and

801
00:23:28,263 --> 00:23:29,463
Ivan sit down on a cruise ship.

802
00:23:29,573 --> 00:23:31,793
And it could be, tell them
I want R rated stories.

803
00:23:32,453 --> 00:23:32,983
Oh.

804
00:23:33,573 --> 00:23:33,643
Can you

805
00:23:33,643 --> 00:23:34,033
share those?

806
00:23:34,323 --> 00:23:35,713
Let me just tell you this.

807
00:23:35,713 --> 00:23:35,843
I

808
00:23:35,843 --> 00:23:36,453
won't say if.

809
00:23:36,453 --> 00:23:39,833
I'll say when me and Ivan sit down
on that cruise ship and I've got the

810
00:23:39,833 --> 00:23:41,658
list of questions in front of me.

811
00:23:41,928 --> 00:23:44,918
It's crumpled up and I'm throwing
it over to the ocean first thing.

812
00:23:46,378 --> 00:23:49,008
And we're going to pour up another
glass of wine for him and we're

813
00:23:49,008 --> 00:23:49,998
going to, we're going to get loose.

814
00:23:50,018 --> 00:23:50,618
It's going to be,

815
00:23:51,168 --> 00:23:51,758
it'll be a good time.

816
00:23:51,798 --> 00:23:52,208
Oh yeah.

817
00:23:52,268 --> 00:23:52,518
Yeah.

818
00:23:52,828 --> 00:23:53,398
He would love that.

819
00:23:53,408 --> 00:23:54,718
No dry interview with me.

820
00:23:54,748 --> 00:23:54,988
That's for

821
00:23:54,988 --> 00:23:55,298
sure.

822
00:23:55,398 --> 00:23:57,408
He'll have you up in his
suite cause he gets the suite.

823
00:23:57,478 --> 00:23:59,188
Oh, that's super cool.

824
00:23:59,208 --> 00:23:59,708
That's fine.

825
00:23:59,728 --> 00:24:00,008
You can

826
00:24:00,008 --> 00:24:02,908
put, I've done one to ones
with him and he's a lot of fun.

827
00:24:03,488 --> 00:24:03,918
Yeah.

828
00:24:04,008 --> 00:24:04,128
Him

829
00:24:04,128 --> 00:24:07,278
talking and the stories and just
say, I don't want the same question.

830
00:24:07,328 --> 00:24:09,938
I don't want you to answer the same
questions you've answered to everyone.

831
00:24:10,283 --> 00:24:13,033
A thousand times in Forbes
Magazine and all those.

832
00:24:13,843 --> 00:24:17,013
Tell him you want to hear more about
Necker Island and him hanging out.

833
00:24:17,293 --> 00:24:18,243
Is that a video with Branson?

834
00:24:18,343 --> 00:24:18,623
Yeah.

835
00:24:18,623 --> 00:24:19,403
I got you.

836
00:24:19,423 --> 00:24:20,723
He and Richard are good friends.

837
00:24:20,813 --> 00:24:21,453
Alright, yeah.

838
00:24:21,453 --> 00:24:22,719
I want to hear those stories.

839
00:24:22,719 --> 00:24:23,985
Because I've heard there's some, some

840
00:24:23,985 --> 00:24:24,406
funny things.

841
00:24:24,406 --> 00:24:24,617
Alright.

842
00:24:24,617 --> 00:24:25,250
Let's say that

843
00:24:25,250 --> 00:24:28,233
I'm going to, I will, I
guarantee I'll drag out all that.

844
00:24:28,243 --> 00:24:30,443
We're going to write a book
off of what we get from him.

845
00:24:30,453 --> 00:24:31,433
I guarantee we could.

846
00:24:31,433 --> 00:24:31,562
That

847
00:24:31,562 --> 00:24:32,077
would be so fun.

848
00:24:32,077 --> 00:24:33,143
But I wanted to ask this.

849
00:24:33,523 --> 00:24:35,403
Because you mentioned somebody
becoming a millionaire.

850
00:24:35,403 --> 00:24:35,443
Yeah.

851
00:24:35,443 --> 00:24:35,453
Yeah.

852
00:24:35,453 --> 00:24:35,463
Yeah.

853
00:24:36,943 --> 00:24:38,113
You probably don't have an exact number.

854
00:24:38,243 --> 00:24:40,063
How many millionaires has BNI made?

855
00:24:41,973 --> 00:24:43,123
I don't know.

856
00:24:43,323 --> 00:24:44,113
Lots, right?

857
00:24:44,223 --> 00:24:48,183
We are creating a group
for the millionaire BNI.

858
00:24:48,203 --> 00:24:49,073
Millionaire club.

859
00:24:49,073 --> 00:24:49,586
Kind of fun.

860
00:24:49,586 --> 00:24:50,491
So there's

861
00:24:50,491 --> 00:24:52,333
enough that it's on the radar.

862
00:24:52,813 --> 00:24:55,063
We just put the stuff together.

863
00:24:55,413 --> 00:24:55,723
Wow!

864
00:24:55,723 --> 00:24:56,453
And so we're

865
00:24:56,453 --> 00:24:57,233
looking for

866
00:24:57,903 --> 00:24:58,533
people that have

867
00:24:58,533 --> 00:25:00,133
done really well inside of it.

868
00:25:01,283 --> 00:25:04,053
There's a couple of us that are
already, we've got an agenda.

869
00:25:04,213 --> 00:25:06,003
We're trying to figure out
how to make it all work.

870
00:25:06,013 --> 00:25:06,513
Yeah.

871
00:25:06,543 --> 00:25:07,443
It'll be something.

872
00:25:07,673 --> 00:25:08,963
You have to be a BNI member.

873
00:25:09,003 --> 00:25:13,533
You have to have a certain wealth
level and bring it in so much.

874
00:25:13,593 --> 00:25:16,113
And I, I gave them a list
of a whole bunch of people.

875
00:25:16,113 --> 00:25:17,143
I said, here's people that

876
00:25:17,573 --> 00:25:19,103
are on that would be there

877
00:25:19,113 --> 00:25:20,273
if they want to do that.

878
00:25:20,423 --> 00:25:21,173
Not on that list.

879
00:25:21,173 --> 00:25:22,983
Can you outgrow a BNI?

880
00:25:23,053 --> 00:25:24,263
Can you become too big?

881
00:25:24,993 --> 00:25:25,793
Have you seen that happen?

882
00:25:25,933 --> 00:25:26,783
Yeah, I have.

883
00:25:26,833 --> 00:25:27,123
Yeah.

884
00:25:27,473 --> 00:25:29,643
And when that does happen, we.

885
00:25:31,008 --> 00:25:31,798
We celebrate it.

886
00:25:31,908 --> 00:25:32,298
Yeah.

887
00:25:32,438 --> 00:25:35,718
Yeah, because they're still giving
referrals back to their BNI chapter.

888
00:25:35,738 --> 00:25:36,148
Oh, I'm

889
00:25:36,148 --> 00:25:36,538
sure.

890
00:25:36,558 --> 00:25:36,868
Yep.

891
00:25:37,138 --> 00:25:42,098
And so yeah, we've seen people outgrow
You know, you can't outgrow a network.

892
00:25:42,118 --> 00:25:43,258
You really can't.

893
00:25:43,808 --> 00:25:47,668
But there's been people that have gotten
so big, like in the contracting world.

894
00:25:47,678 --> 00:25:47,968
Yeah.

895
00:25:48,418 --> 00:25:51,738
Where they needed work, needed work,
and then they built their reputation

896
00:25:51,738 --> 00:25:55,958
to a point where I just need to
maintain, and they're still using

897
00:25:55,958 --> 00:25:57,748
the contractors from the BNI group.

898
00:25:58,828 --> 00:25:59,568
But they're now

899
00:25:59,808 --> 00:26:02,408
The referrals are coming in from
word of mouth, past clients.

900
00:26:02,408 --> 00:26:03,788
Because they've done so good.

901
00:26:04,038 --> 00:26:04,598
Yeah.

902
00:26:05,578 --> 00:26:10,138
Networking isn't just about people talking
about you, it's about you doing good work.

903
00:26:10,148 --> 00:26:10,448
Right.

904
00:26:10,688 --> 00:26:14,558
If you do a good work, you
get referrals just for that.

905
00:26:14,628 --> 00:26:14,878
Yeah.

906
00:26:15,398 --> 00:26:16,258
That's accountability.

907
00:26:16,908 --> 00:26:21,029
Yeah, if you do bad work, it
travels faster than doing good work.

908
00:26:21,029 --> 00:26:21,633
Yeah, it does.

909
00:26:21,633 --> 00:26:22,035
Especially in

910
00:26:22,035 --> 00:26:22,437
this community.

911
00:26:22,437 --> 00:26:23,128
It really does.

912
00:26:23,408 --> 00:26:24,818
We talked about this before you got here.

913
00:26:24,828 --> 00:26:25,108
It's a

914
00:26:25,108 --> 00:26:27,158
quick Facebook post from the right person.

915
00:26:27,898 --> 00:26:29,488
Oh yeah, I've been reading
some of those stuff lately.

916
00:26:29,488 --> 00:26:31,088
I'm just like, why are you

917
00:26:31,088 --> 00:26:31,698
upset about that?

918
00:26:31,708 --> 00:26:31,858
I

919
00:26:31,858 --> 00:26:32,298
know, I know.

920
00:26:32,858 --> 00:26:34,148
But it's all it takes.

921
00:26:34,208 --> 00:26:36,568
Your HOA fee went up by 50.

922
00:26:36,568 --> 00:26:38,358
I was reading that today
and I just started laughing.

923
00:26:38,438 --> 00:26:39,278
We got our own haters.

924
00:26:39,278 --> 00:26:41,033
We got like, we got uh, one, two, three.

925
00:26:41,343 --> 00:26:42,863
One star review for this.

926
00:26:43,083 --> 00:26:43,543
Oh, we do?

927
00:26:43,623 --> 00:26:44,083
We do.

928
00:26:44,193 --> 00:26:47,683
Now, I understand when people don't
agree with things or don't like

929
00:26:47,683 --> 00:26:51,773
the content But I'm gonna say that
that's just a hater out there.

930
00:26:51,783 --> 00:26:57,609
The fact there's only one and we got all
others are five stars Who's hating on you?

931
00:26:57,609 --> 00:26:57,895
We're

932
00:26:57,895 --> 00:26:58,181
looking

933
00:26:58,181 --> 00:26:58,753
at you.

934
00:26:58,753 --> 00:26:59,363
Who's hating?

935
00:26:59,713 --> 00:27:00,643
We're gonna find you.

936
00:27:01,473 --> 00:27:02,256
I know who you are.

937
00:27:02,256 --> 00:27:02,403
We got

938
00:27:02,403 --> 00:27:03,043
a network.

939
00:27:03,103 --> 00:27:03,453
I know

940
00:27:03,453 --> 00:27:03,933
who you are.

941
00:27:03,993 --> 00:27:06,613
But yeah, but it's like, You have to tell
us who you are when you put one star.

942
00:27:06,703 --> 00:27:07,023
Exactly.

943
00:27:07,023 --> 00:27:07,763
That shows your name.

944
00:27:07,813 --> 00:27:08,433
Exactly.

945
00:27:08,463 --> 00:27:10,373
But, we could go, go ahead.

946
00:27:10,443 --> 00:27:10,763
So tell us,

947
00:27:10,763 --> 00:27:11,833
I was just gonna say this.

948
00:27:11,833 --> 00:27:14,833
We're, I mean, we've been talking
about BNI kind of a little

949
00:27:14,833 --> 00:27:16,153
bit, you know, here and there.

950
00:27:16,383 --> 00:27:17,963
But put it together for us, Kameron.

951
00:27:17,983 --> 00:27:22,093
Like, what is BNI in a couple sentences?

952
00:27:22,123 --> 00:27:22,143
Yeah.

953
00:27:22,143 --> 00:27:23,373
What is BNI for you?

954
00:27:24,678 --> 00:27:30,648
For myself, well, you should prepare me
for this because I can talk for hours.

955
00:27:30,648 --> 00:27:35,418
But in a couple of sentence, it is
everybody needs a little bit of help.

956
00:27:35,428 --> 00:27:35,768
Yeah,

957
00:27:36,188 --> 00:27:39,068
we can't get through life
without help from other people.

958
00:27:39,748 --> 00:27:44,868
That's how this was started was it
was a wasn't even a referral group.

959
00:27:44,868 --> 00:27:45,808
It was a leads group.

960
00:27:45,878 --> 00:27:51,158
When I even started this people started
passing referrals and they closes most

961
00:27:51,158 --> 00:27:52,368
of the time when you get a referral.

962
00:27:53,213 --> 00:27:56,393
That's if you think about where most
of your business already comes from,

963
00:27:56,403 --> 00:28:00,763
it comes from a referral already from
somebody that knows you from someone

964
00:28:00,763 --> 00:28:04,163
from your church group, your civic
group, your drinking group, your golf

965
00:28:04,173 --> 00:28:08,403
group, whatever it might be is, I
know I got a guy, I know somebody.

966
00:28:08,683 --> 00:28:15,593
And so it was, that's how it was formed
to help the little guy get off their feet.

967
00:28:15,613 --> 00:28:20,013
Cause we have so many good
entrepreneurs in the world that

968
00:28:20,013 --> 00:28:21,833
businesses close cause they just.

969
00:28:22,823 --> 00:28:24,923
They knew how to do the work well,
they didn't know how to get the work.

970
00:28:25,043 --> 00:28:25,403
Yep.

971
00:28:25,883 --> 00:28:26,963
You know, I graduated University of

972
00:28:26,963 --> 00:28:29,123
Utah and I shared this
today in A BNI meeting.

973
00:28:29,123 --> 00:28:32,003
It's like I, I learned nothing.

974
00:28:32,213 --> 00:28:32,573
Yeah.

975
00:28:32,723 --> 00:28:34,403
You know, my accounting
classes helped and stuff.

976
00:28:34,403 --> 00:28:37,613
I have a business degree and they
didn't teach you how to get work.

977
00:28:37,673 --> 00:28:38,453
They didn't tell you.

978
00:28:38,633 --> 00:28:41,783
All they talked about is this
is what could happen once you

979
00:28:41,783 --> 00:28:43,673
get work and they run scenarios.

980
00:28:44,183 --> 00:28:47,063
The best school they ever got
was the school of hard knocks.

981
00:28:47,093 --> 00:28:47,423
Yep.

982
00:28:47,428 --> 00:28:51,803
Mm-hmm . And I think that's
everybody has learned what not to do.

983
00:28:52,703 --> 00:28:55,793
And then hopefully you learn
it and that's what BNI is.

984
00:28:55,803 --> 00:28:58,333
You have a network of
people that have been there.

985
00:28:58,603 --> 00:28:59,273
They've done that.

986
00:28:59,663 --> 00:29:02,473
It's also a group to help elevate you.

987
00:29:02,473 --> 00:29:05,213
It also is a group to help
elevate your confidence.

988
00:29:05,693 --> 00:29:07,653
We have people in BNI that can't talk.

989
00:29:08,103 --> 00:29:11,153
After two years, they're up there giving
their 10 minute feature presentation.

990
00:29:11,153 --> 00:29:14,263
You know, and you know,
they're nervous inside.

991
00:29:15,223 --> 00:29:17,063
But they would have never
done that when they joined.

992
00:29:17,063 --> 00:29:18,543
It was hard enough for them to join.

993
00:29:18,543 --> 00:29:20,493
And so it is really a community.

994
00:29:20,953 --> 00:29:24,483
And with BNI members, I see
members come, I see them leave,

995
00:29:24,863 --> 00:29:26,713
but they never leave that network.

996
00:29:27,153 --> 00:29:29,513
I mean, your network doesn't stop
because you're not part of BNI.

997
00:29:29,923 --> 00:29:31,173
It continues on.

998
00:29:31,723 --> 00:29:34,763
And so that's, we're trying to
help people get a jump start

999
00:29:34,793 --> 00:29:37,423
and be that help to get them.

1000
00:29:37,808 --> 00:29:40,788
So that they can take their first
vacation so they don't get that

1001
00:29:40,798 --> 00:29:45,278
divorce if that's what it is Cuz I
mean, you know that one of the biggest

1002
00:29:45,318 --> 00:29:47,718
stresses in marriage is finances.

1003
00:29:47,738 --> 00:29:48,998
What if we could take that away?

1004
00:29:49,018 --> 00:29:49,338
Yeah,

1005
00:29:49,508 --> 00:29:49,918
yeah,

1006
00:29:49,958 --> 00:29:52,818
and we don't have to worry about
the other stuff that the causes.

1007
00:29:52,898 --> 00:29:57,368
Oh, yeah We could take that away
and you go on your first vacation

1008
00:29:57,378 --> 00:30:01,548
help pay for your kids schooling
or just be able to help others

1009
00:30:01,628 --> 00:30:01,898
Yeah

1010
00:30:02,393 --> 00:30:05,933
And wouldn't it be cool if all of
us had an endowment to help other

1011
00:30:05,943 --> 00:30:09,753
people, you know, and so as you're
doing givers gain, when somebody

1012
00:30:09,753 --> 00:30:12,043
helps you, go back and help them.

1013
00:30:12,043 --> 00:30:14,113
And that's not even being
honest, that's just in life.

1014
00:30:14,123 --> 00:30:14,353
Should

1015
00:30:14,363 --> 00:30:14,853
be, right?

1016
00:30:14,903 --> 00:30:15,583
Yeah, should be.

1017
00:30:15,813 --> 00:30:17,803
Like that's, that's what
I try to tell people.

1018
00:30:17,803 --> 00:30:18,313
Give a helping hand.

1019
00:30:18,313 --> 00:30:19,453
Hey, help your neighbor.

1020
00:30:19,908 --> 00:30:22,708
Help that neighbor, help the,
you know, it's symbiotic.

1021
00:30:22,708 --> 00:30:24,788
I always say symbiotic
relationships or where is that?

1022
00:30:25,518 --> 00:30:28,508
Karma, golden rule, giver's gain,
whatever you want to call it.

1023
00:30:29,038 --> 00:30:29,898
It's help

1024
00:30:29,918 --> 00:30:31,788
others and it will come back to you.

1025
00:30:31,818 --> 00:30:32,628
Yeah.

1026
00:30:32,728 --> 00:30:34,468
What about anything else we missed?

1027
00:30:34,498 --> 00:30:35,078
You got anything else?

1028
00:30:35,078 --> 00:30:36,078
Because we could go on for

1029
00:30:36,288 --> 00:30:36,528
Oh,

1030
00:30:36,528 --> 00:30:36,798
totally.

1031
00:30:37,338 --> 00:30:38,558
And he's got another appointment.

1032
00:30:38,578 --> 00:30:40,508
I know, so we got to get out of here.

1033
00:30:40,508 --> 00:30:40,778
I

1034
00:30:40,798 --> 00:30:43,208
think we do have to get you a
podcast and I think we'd get it

1035
00:30:43,488 --> 00:30:46,578
easily done where it's just you pull
out your phone to record because I

1036
00:30:46,578 --> 00:30:47,648
want to hear some of these stories.

1037
00:30:48,443 --> 00:30:53,993
I can talk about Bigfoot, we can talk
about UFOs, we can talk about Hate!

1038
00:30:53,993 --> 00:30:55,053
Meth!

1039
00:30:55,053 --> 00:30:57,553
Meth, fentanyl Here we go, here's my ask.

1040
00:30:58,153 --> 00:31:00,263
Before we get out of here, this is my ask.

1041
00:31:00,313 --> 00:31:04,203
Other than the cruise, because we're
going on a cruise, I want you to

1042
00:31:04,203 --> 00:31:06,443
put me in front of What's his name?

1043
00:31:06,483 --> 00:31:07,403
Brandon Fugle.

1044
00:31:07,803 --> 00:31:08,933
With his Skinwalker Ranch.

1045
00:31:09,013 --> 00:31:10,713
I want to go out to the Skinwalker Ranch.

1046
00:31:10,783 --> 00:31:12,233
It's It's funny that one

1047
00:31:12,233 --> 00:31:17,743
of my sons is dating a girl
that's related to Brannon.

1048
00:31:18,523 --> 00:31:20,083
And I want to go to Skinwalker Ranch.

1049
00:31:20,163 --> 00:31:21,433
I've watched all those shows.

1050
00:31:21,433 --> 00:31:23,643
I mean, we should just go
and get our sleeping bags.

1051
00:31:23,643 --> 00:31:24,273
I will

1052
00:31:24,273 --> 00:31:26,248
stay behind and you guys can let me know

1053
00:31:26,248 --> 00:31:26,953
when that happens.

1054
00:31:26,953 --> 00:31:27,853
I'll put it out there in the universe.

1055
00:31:27,853 --> 00:31:28,463
We're going out there.

1056
00:31:28,473 --> 00:31:29,023
That'd be fun.

1057
00:31:29,033 --> 00:31:29,143
Wouldn't

1058
00:31:29,143 --> 00:31:31,373
that be fun?

1059
00:31:31,373 --> 00:31:32,453
I'd love to meet Brannon.

1060
00:31:32,453 --> 00:31:32,773
Yeah.

1061
00:31:33,058 --> 00:31:34,318
Yeah, I wish they did tours.

1062
00:31:34,318 --> 00:31:35,188
Maybe they do tours.

1063
00:31:35,188 --> 00:31:36,208
Brandon hit me up on

1064
00:31:36,208 --> 00:31:37,618
LinkedIn at one point for some rea.

1065
00:31:37,618 --> 00:31:38,038

00:31:38,908 --> 00:31:41,488

And I was just showing my business
partner's wife and I was like,

1070
00:31:51,688 --> 00:31:54,508
if our spouses don't want to
go, we're going to this thing.

1071
00:31:55,708 --> 00:31:57,388
It's a UFO festival.

1072
00:31:57,388 --> 00:31:57,868
It's a, that's it.

1073
00:31:57,868 --> 00:31:58,258
Yeah.

1074
00:31:58,258 --> 00:31:59,093
I saw every year.

1075
00:32:00,323 --> 00:32:00,993
We're going.

1076
00:32:01,323 --> 00:32:02,173
Look at this!

1077
00:32:02,203 --> 00:32:04,653
Me and Kameron had no clue that
we had this in common right here.

1078
00:32:04,693 --> 00:32:05,983
My wife and I have seen one.

1079
00:32:06,463 --> 00:32:07,433
Don't think I'm crazy.

1080
00:32:07,483 --> 00:32:08,003
I've seen two.

1081
00:32:08,003 --> 00:32:08,693
She was with me.

1082
00:32:08,693 --> 00:32:09,593
Where were you at?

1083
00:32:09,593 --> 00:32:09,813
I

1084
00:32:09,823 --> 00:32:10,293
gotta ask.

1085
00:32:10,903 --> 00:32:13,103
We were driving back from Idaho.

1086
00:32:13,163 --> 00:32:16,153
In the middle of the night,
this big old ball was standing,

1087
00:32:16,623 --> 00:32:17,523
floating right in front of us.

1088
00:32:17,523 --> 00:32:18,343
It looked like a moon.

1089
00:32:18,363 --> 00:32:18,783
Yeah.

1090
00:32:18,923 --> 00:32:21,913
It was kind of going back and forth
and I was like, I'm just getting tired.

1091
00:32:22,623 --> 00:32:24,963
I'm looking at that thing just
shoot straight up in the air.

1092
00:32:24,983 --> 00:32:25,273
Oh.

1093
00:32:25,353 --> 00:32:26,023
And it was gone.

1094
00:32:26,413 --> 00:32:26,673
What?

1095
00:32:26,953 --> 00:32:27,223
And I

1096
00:32:27,233 --> 00:32:30,663
looked over at my wife and I
go, Did you see something weird?

1097
00:32:31,053 --> 00:32:33,183
She's like, yeah, I'll go
explain what you just saw.

1098
00:32:33,213 --> 00:32:36,943
And she explained it to me and we're
like, ah, so we were in our Ford Escort.

1099
00:32:37,633 --> 00:32:40,313
And all of a sudden drive faster
as if we could outrun that thing.

1100
00:32:40,343 --> 00:32:40,813
Oh yeah.

1101
00:32:40,883 --> 00:32:41,093
Yeah.

1102
00:32:41,383 --> 00:32:42,633
You got to get home to Salt Lake quick.

1103
00:32:44,133 --> 00:32:44,823
Oh my God.

1104
00:32:44,833 --> 00:32:45,583
That's for another time.

1105
00:32:46,023 --> 00:32:47,913
Get me and Kameron in front of Brandon.

1106
00:32:47,913 --> 00:32:49,543
We go into Skinwalker Ranch.

1107
00:32:50,203 --> 00:32:51,073
I want to, I want to

1108
00:32:51,073 --> 00:32:51,743
go out there.

1109
00:32:51,773 --> 00:32:52,233
We should,

1110
00:32:52,483 --> 00:32:53,073
I'm serious.

1111
00:32:53,533 --> 00:32:54,573
Yep, I want to go out there.

1112
00:32:54,593 --> 00:32:57,903
I watch all those shows and I'm like
intrigued by it and then there's that

1113
00:32:57,903 --> 00:33:00,723
other show about the guys that are
digging holes a few miles from there.

1114
00:33:00,723 --> 00:33:01,233
Are you watching that?

1115
00:33:01,233 --> 00:33:05,113
Yeah, it's called something, it's uh,
oh, it's another ranch or something.

1116
00:33:05,113 --> 00:33:08,543
It's a, it's a, where they're
telling on Skid Row, don't dig, but

1117
00:33:08,543 --> 00:33:09,783
on this other ranch, we're digging.

1118
00:33:09,823 --> 00:33:10,673
Yeah, we're digging.

1119
00:33:11,683 --> 00:33:13,043
I want to go see some, yeah.

1120
00:33:13,093 --> 00:33:14,043
Every time they dig,

1121
00:33:14,743 --> 00:33:15,853
these things start flying around.

1122
00:33:15,853 --> 00:33:16,792
They start showing up.

1123
00:33:16,792 --> 00:33:17,088
How

1124
00:33:17,088 --> 00:33:18,273
am I missing this

1125
00:33:18,273 --> 00:33:19,073
stuff, you guys?

1126
00:33:19,073 --> 00:33:21,298
You gotta like Tell me
where to watch this stuff.

1127
00:33:21,298 --> 00:33:22,168
So we're going on

1128
00:33:22,168 --> 00:33:24,108
a cruise and we're going
to Skinwalker Ranch.

1129
00:33:24,108 --> 00:33:25,608
We're going

1130
00:33:25,608 --> 00:33:27,128
to go dig some holes next door.

1131
00:33:27,138 --> 00:33:27,338
I don't know.

1132
00:33:27,338 --> 00:33:27,668
We could,

1133
00:33:27,728 --> 00:33:28,118
we could.

1134
00:33:28,118 --> 00:33:28,688
That's kind of cool.

1135
00:33:28,738 --> 00:33:31,248
All right, let's get at it because
this is the BNF, this is of the week.

1136
00:33:31,978 --> 00:33:32,638
Kameron Thorne.

1137
00:33:32,658 --> 00:33:33,038
Thank you.

1138
00:33:33,328 --> 00:33:34,948
Thanks so a long overdue.

1139
00:33:34,958 --> 00:33:35,348
This was fun.

1140
00:33:35,448 --> 00:33:36,238
It's long overdue.

1141
00:33:36,478 --> 00:33:37,108
Really it is.

1142
00:33:37,168 --> 00:33:40,458
But we'll get you back
on before 18 more months.

1143
00:33:40,688 --> 00:33:42,438
Because that's about how long
we started talking about this.

1144
00:33:42,888 --> 00:33:44,588
No, we got to have him on quarterly.

1145
00:33:44,628 --> 00:33:44,928
Yeah.

1146
00:33:44,978 --> 00:33:45,618
Cause what did I

1147
00:33:45,628 --> 00:33:45,838

1148
00:33:45,898 --> 00:33:46,518
He can get us on the show.

1149
00:33:46,863 --> 00:33:48,373
We had a big guest today, right?

1150
00:33:48,373 --> 00:33:48,983
I told ya.

1151
00:33:49,013 --> 00:33:49,473
I told ya.

1152
00:33:49,533 --> 00:33:50,793
It sounds like me and Kameron.

1153
00:33:51,213 --> 00:33:54,233
Me and Kameron may have our own
show doing UFOs and stuff out in

1154
00:33:54,233 --> 00:33:55,553
the middle of the desert soon, so.

1155
00:33:55,553 --> 00:33:55,993
So true.

1156
00:33:56,363 --> 00:33:56,673
Stay tuned.

1157
00:33:57,823 --> 00:33:58,473
Stay tuned.

1158
00:33:58,523 --> 00:33:59,083
That'd be a good one.

1159
00:33:59,103 --> 00:33:59,863
I'd watch that.

1160
00:34:01,113 --> 00:34:03,654
Just laying on her back
looking for anything.
