Let's say your senior year as a basketball hoopstar.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
So I wasn't into like the whole style fashion part
of it, but.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
But you didn't have those bright colors.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
I had ankle surgery on my ankle in high school
and so in college it messed up my foot. Like
I could only wear certain basketball shoes.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
So like we were.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Sponsored by Adidas at Mount Vernon Nazarien where I played
college at, and I couldn't wear the shoes. So I
actually had to get like it signed off by Adida
saying that I could wear Nike.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Shoes in the game.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
But it was specifically Nikes was like very stiff sols
that like only would.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Work, so should have made them white, three lines down
the side of the sharpie.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
But that is a true story that I had to
have specific basketball shoes and get signed off on it.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Did your team pay for those?
Speaker 3 (02:09):
So they paid for No. I actually had to buy
those myself. They paid for all the other ones, but
I couldn't wear Wow.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Now, being Joe Schmid's a peeker tarman planning, you could
buy thousands of those if you wanted to, and you'd
get the best deals. I'm going back to your old school,
are you not bloom Carol? But Mount Vernon Nazarene on
Wednesday evening because you know, one of our really good friends,
Dj Moore is a senior this year for Indiana Wesleyan.
Speaker 2 (02:32):

Speaker 1 (02:37):
So you're going to call him out about how pretty
his hair looks because I don't see it different.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
I tell you what.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Joe walks in with Emma, and we're gonna hear more
from Emma in a minute. Two.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Emma, we got to have you move to that chair
because you're.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
So dagone cute that we want you to be seen.
We just got to pull the microphone over there. We're
on Boots's Facebook page. But if you sit in that spot,
you don't be seeing Joe.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Please.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Yeah, that's what we'll do. Give her that microphone and
Joe took there. We get now look now, look you
can see her.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
I'm just very excited that my hair got more compliments
than Emma, so I'll be bragging.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
You guys walked in and I'm like, Joe your hair
because how long ago was it?
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Boots? When I asked him, I'm like, you should just grow.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
I feel sorry for and you're trying to fix him
up and do his hair, and my hair is amazing.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
I can't believe how much better it looks like. I
love it. Emma. You guys are about the same age, right, No, yes,
she will be younger.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
She's like ten years younger.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
So his hair looks hip? Do you not think so? Honestly,
it's definitely better. All I heard, though, was him saying
he's not very into fashion with the shoes.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
So who is Most guys aren't, though, I guess now they.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Say, why do you say that like that?
Speaker 4 (03:43):
What do you mean?
Speaker 2 (03:43):
What do you say? Not really you know, because he's
pretty fashionistic. The hair looks great and it stops there.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
I think.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
I think for guys, it's more like whatever feels best
on our feet. I don't really care what someone thinks.
What shoe would I have?
Speaker 3 (03:59):
You gotta watch asking him anything because they pick on
me all day. I'm just a big remember the victim mentality? Yes,
well I actually have a reason to be a victim
because they just pick on me all day at the
office time out.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
You know, he's the boss, right like he signs your test.
That's why they like him though, And you're allowed to
pick on the boss.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
That's actually my parents said the same thing last week.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I said that. I was like, oh yeah, we just
like messed with each other all day. And my mom's like, Emma,
that is your boss.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Well that's why you don't wear a stuffy place, because
stuffy places are When I worked for some bad bosses,
I believe the best boss poos that you ever worked for.
Larry Hilsel, my first boss, very first boss, Verry Larry Helstel.
What in my adulthood?
Speaker 3 (04:39):
What about him made him your best boss?
Speaker 1 (04:41):
He took me start writing, Ye took wing and said
just be you and here's what you do and here's
what you don't do. And as we grow together, I'll
make you a better salesperson. Very professional guy. And then
another guy named Scott Westman, why he rests in peace.
He was the guy that if you had a shady
situation and you grabbed him. So what Larry taught me
(05:02):
was in the automotive world, you grabbed the guy that
best suit your customer. He taught me that. I always
remember that through my career of twenty one years. So
you know, I just HR has ruined the industries because
you can no longer be personable with somebody. That's what's
good about your company, and people feel that when he
come in and invest with you, because you guys are
a family. I wasn't allowed. I lent a guy money
(05:25):
one time to get caught up on his rent, and
one of the other guys went to HR and said, well,
why did he lend me money? Why would he just
lend him money? And they ain't made into a racial
thing on top of it, which is a whole nother story.
But I'm like, he's one of my best salespeople. And
he was short from a baby mama drama and I
gave him three hundred dollars. Who cares can't do that anymore.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
There was a general manager that had worked for in Youngstown, Ohio.
His name was Raymon Sally, and he was by following
my favorite boss because he did the same thing you said.
He saw me for who I was, he saw my strength,
and he's like Mindy on the air as an anchor,
as a reporter, you be yourself.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
That's why we hired you. And he has stuck with
me all of these years. You know, it's been a
while since I took him to him, but I really
had my back with everything. But Joe, that's what you do.
You how many people apply to work at peak retirement planning?
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Yeah, fun story. We can actually go back and talk
about Emma's When we hired Emma, I actually gave her
some very direct feedback in her interview processing. Maybe scared
a little bit like Kathy did with you. Yeah yeah, yeah,
but uh I didn't know, oh yeah yeah, so yeah.
Kathy said I was very shy.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
That was his one drawback that Kathy Boots and I
had Kathy and studio with Joe. Was it last month
or a couple of months ago, and she sang his
praises up and down, but she also said that she
felt he was a little too shy for the business,
and then she watched him play basketball and saw what
a leader he.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Was and that kind of Yeah, so the deal.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Let me throw it curve real quick. Yeah, the worst
your worst boss is actually your best boss.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
I disagree with that.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Your worst boss teaches you what not to do. I
can say that that's why I like the worst bosch.
I worked for two of the biggest boneheads that ever
walked the play in. Let me tell you, they made
me a better boss because I don't do what theyta
and that's why your successful.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
I totally agree with that.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
When you know what to do and what not to
do like a bad coach.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Yeah, it's it's such it's so important.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Who was your Well it's probably hard for you to
say on the air, but did you ever have a
bad coach or a bad boss? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:27):
I would say so for sure. You know, I've also
had really good coaches. I mean I played for Tom Petty,
who was the one that's.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Good singer too.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Yeah, yeah, not him, Blue Bulldogs. He is one of
the winningest basketball coaches in Ohio history and.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
He just more than quarter cracks.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Yeah I said one, but just super tough and a
lot of people didn't like him, but he won and
he developed by Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
I mean he was a bonehead, but you know what,
he got the stuff done.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
I think coaches, I don't know if it's the same
as bosses could be. I think they've had to become
softer through the years time. It's a shame because as
as a mom of two athletes, I wanted them to
be coached tough, you know, I wanted them.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
You yes, I guess because I'm married, you're rough man.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Let's ask that, Mandy. Did you ever did a coach
ever get on you know, your kids? And then you
were saying, hey, I think that may have been too
much or he I don't know if they were right, No,
what about if they weren't right?
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Okay, sirs.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
First of all, let's take my daughter, Cami. She is
a coach's dream because she's a workaholic. So she was
a coach pleaser. If they said run five sprints, she'd
run ten. She was the leader of the team on
every team she played on. She brought her teammates together.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
She is hard to She's not a good example because
she went above and beyond. And then there's my son.
I was coached by my husband and that is not easy.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Don't worry, Kyland, You're going to start because I'm sleeping
with your father.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
You're like Forrest Gump Small.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
You did it with j situation when you are a
son being coached by your dad.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
And Kyle was a great shooter.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
He just you know, and and he's got the better
work ethic now. But growing up he didn't have the
determination that Cammy had.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
So that is tough.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Yeah, let's have an emma share what her feedback was.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Yeah, I'll hear that in.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
The first interview or wait, save that, save that because
I want to that's that's that's uh load to suffer
next week a break when we come back. I want
