Wonderful to have you along this morning. I'm Gary David, the Health of
Wallon Show. Every Saturday morning ofthis time here on one of three point
five FFM and five sixty am wV O C, and at least every
other Saturday of not more often youhear from Bridget Trammel, the owner of
the founder, the head coach atthe health there joining us this morning on
the Health of Wallon Show. Bridgetgood morning, Good morning Gary. How

(00:49):
are you today doing fabulous? AndI hope you can say the same good
I am so excited this morning totalk about motivation. Are you? Are
you stilling motivated? Gary? You'reready to talk about motivation. I need
to talk about motivation. Yes,just get us, get us pumped up
here, Bridgets, Well, youknow when it comes to diet plans,
you know, it's very difficult toget motivated to deny yourselves, you know,

(01:14):
start to diet. Everybody wants theresults of a diet plan or a
healthy habit, but nobody really wantsto get started on the journey, least
of all me. You know,I love to binge on mac and cheese.
I hate to exercise, and Ilove to eat. And that's basically
ninety percent of America. If youlook at the statistics, you know,
we're the most obst nations. Sowe've got diabetes type, blood pressure,

(01:38):
high clestro, sleep, anio,we've got IV yes which nobody talks about,
all that digestion issues. And sowhen people come to us, they
really want to get healthy and comingto the office is the first step.
We're having a virtual you know,video chat with a health coach. That's
the first step. But the reasonwhy the health is so successful is because

(02:00):
after coaching eight thousand people, wehave mastered the psychology of how to motivate
people to healthy habits. How amazingis it? How much of this is
between the ears? Huh, that'sright, that's right. You know,
we foundry that people don't become obesefor no reason. You know, oftentimes

(02:22):
stress and anxiety and just just thehard knocks of life cause them to overeat
or they don't have any boundaries.You know how many retired people we have
where their forty year old son isliving in their homes kind of draining their
finances, draining their energy, causingstress. A lot of these over fifty

(02:42):
fives are raising their grand children.There's just a lot of stress going on,
and stress raises your cardisal levels.It can mimic the symptoms of diabetes,
high blood pressure, it can causeall of those same things that these
aggressive symptoms and diseases can cause.So we decided to make an entire curriculum

(03:02):
that goes along with our coaching critulumcalled the Psychology of Health. And you
know what they all say, itall began when I was three, you
know, yeah, well it reallydoes, you know. So we go
all the way to birth and theconnection that you know you have with your
mother, because as we enter thatearly development, you know, the nurturing

(03:25):
of your mother really kind of setsthe course for your life, or the
lack thereof. You know, we'vegot that connection that makes us feel safe
and secure in our relationships. Butas we grow up and experience conflict,
you know, in sixth grade,when your girlfriend dumps you, we start
having rejections. It so and andand our earliest caregivers aren't giving us that

(03:50):
a tunement that we need. Itbegins to affect our self esteem as early
as birth. And sometimes it's maybewe do okay then, but later in
life, something happened. At anypoint along the spectrum something. And you
know what, since you mentioned this, and I hope you don't mind,
Bridget, because we haven't talked aboutthis in quite some time, but your

(04:13):
story and how you came to developa health there, ye story clutly absolutely
so I encountered conflict and rejection anddevastation. You know. I had never
really struggled with my weight, butI went through a very nasty divorce,
a devastating thing. My former husbandactually had an entirely secret life and he

(04:34):
was, you know, doing drugs, and it was awful. And I
had two ton of little babies andI had to really kind of almost escape
that relationship. He threatened to killme, and it was just a very
scary, heart pumping situation. Ileft and my kids were two weeks old
and two years old, and youbetter believe there was some emotional eating going

(04:56):
on during that time. And heeventually passed away from drug abuse. So
that's how I actually climbed up totwo hundred and fifteen pounds. And I
just couldn't gain control of my weightbecause I couldn't gain control of my life,
you know, And so I experiencedthis this deep loan that was just
emotionally bleeding, and finally I realized, I've got to do something about my

(05:18):
health because my anxiety and my depressionwas just off the charts. And I've
found that most of our clients areliving kind of that way. We had
a woman that was one of myclients that actually, you know, her
mom had passed away, and everytime she ate her mom's casserole recipe and
reminded of her mother, you know, and it was comforting to her.

(05:42):
So so it could even be apositive thing, you know. So we
start all the way back there thesecond sort of building block besides connection,
because connection turns into conflict, andthat's where you start getting unhealthy emotionally,
and then it turns physical. Sothen we take our clients through, you
know, confidence, because the childgrows, he sort of feels invincible.

(06:03):
I mean, I've never met atwo year old but didn't think he could
swim in the d back. Youknow, they jump in. We tend
to forget that as we age,we lose that oh yeah, they just
jump in and they have no fear, you know. And and as we
grow, we get criticized, weget rejected, and that feeling of like

(06:23):
hey, I can do this intocriticism. But if I fail, because
I've failed with so many other programs, they've got this, like, you
know, a sense of failure thatthey they wear almost like a badge sometime,
and so getting them back to thatconfidence you can do this. We
celebrate the winds. Oh my god, you're a one C went from from

(06:44):
eight point five to seven point one. That's incredible. I hat your your
blood pressure has dropped. Your doctorcut your medicine in half. Hey you
lost five pounds of fat. Holdthis yellow flat blob. Oh my gosh,
you lost this giant, yellow flatblob. You know, people,
it's hilarious because you're like a wheelbarrow. You know. We bring out and
if sixty pounds of fat, wepile it up and make them hold it.

(07:06):
We go what you were doing whenyou want to here? You know,
if you've never if you've never seenthe yellow fat blob, it's it's
it's a it's it's disgusting, it'sgross, and it's what you may be
carrying around right now in your gut. I mean, just imagine the pressure
on your back and your joints andyour knees. If you go to idearmy

(07:27):
dot com You can see all thefat blocks, all the people holding they're
fat, that they lost. It'sthe awesomest thing. But we'll throw in
their fat. We'll go here,catch go along. You know. We
have a blast about fat. Wouldlove to see it bounced, you know.
But that's building confidence and reminding themthat they can do this. And
then the third building block of humanitywith that connection at birth confidence. Third

(07:50):
thing is competition, you know,and as we enter early childhood and adolescents
learn to compete with ourselves and othersand kind of or the problem solve and
have to become more successful. Wesuccess breed success, you know, get
so excited at that thirty day evaluation. They lose seventeen inches on average and

(08:13):
sixteen pounds of fat on average inthe first thirty days. They're so pumped
up they're motivated to do more.You know. But the reading we don't
very succeeded other programs is because overtime, when adversity comes, or we
sail at that diet plan, orthe doctor gives us a new diagnosis or
a bad report, we kind ofjust almost yield to it, you know,

(08:37):
our confidence starts to kind of crumbleand are resolved to conquer and achieve
new goals and start shrinking kind ofin that face of failure and fear.
And that's when we experience the dmotivation phenomenon at least into deeper issue like
anxiety depression. And you know,we just help our clients build that confidence

(08:58):
and come peete with each other.We give a thousand dollars cash away every
ninety days for the biggest loser atthe house there, and it's just so
much fun and people are jumping upand down. We have cooking classes and
and you know, fitness classes andand and classes with naturopathic doctors on our
hormones, and we help people getmotivation back after Okay, we just hang

(09:26):
on just a second, bridget.We just had a big interruption on our
line there. Let's see we can'treconnect up there. It is stand by.
I'm going to do quickly call callyou back here and see we can't
get reconnected. Let's see we're dinningright now. Okay, there we go.
I think we have reconnected you there. Yes, I am okay,
goodead good, I believe well Ithink we left off at motivation, yes,

(09:50):
yes, yes, so you knowpeople people in early adolescents, we
learned to compete with ourselves and otherslearned the problem solve. But you know,
when we fail, it leads tomore failure and depression. When we
succeed, it leads to more success. So you know, we jump up
and down, we throw the factblogs, we get so excited. But

(10:11):
you know, as as as adversityenters our lives, you know, we
either overcome it or we yield toit. You know, there's really no
in between. And so as wesucceed, which we celebrate our client successes,
we jump up and down. Wehave camaraderie. We give a thousand
dollars away every ninety days to thebiggest loser. But but when we don't

(10:37):
succeed, we experience the de motivationphenomenon that leads to the deeper issues like
anxiety and depression. So we havestudied our how can we help our clients
get their motivation back after it's beendamaged and we help them work through that.
We have license counselors, we havethe psychology of health curriculum that we

(10:58):
go through with our clients. It'snot enough just to stop eating sugar,
right, They've got to have anentire change of mindset so that they can
become their own health coach for life. That really is one of the amazing
things about being on the Deer.I took it in twenty nineteen, I
think it was and I had totell you, I mean the first again,

(11:22):
all the first two weeks. I'mnot saying it was hard. It
was not. It's not hard,but it isn't change. It is a
lifestyle change, right, yeah,And that's what we celebrate. We celebrate
this a sex Oh my goodness,you lost one town. That's fantastic.
Our clients get so excited. Wecall it vitamin l you know, vitamin
love. So they get like addictedto the ether of their coach being like,

(11:45):
oh my gosh, I'm stock size. I knew you could do this.
This is amazing. And when youget praised, you go back to
that like desire for praise and thatdeep motivational drive that comes from praise and
connection you connect with your coach.They're not just connecting with a computer or
an app that tracks calories. Theseare like real life humans that have overcome

(12:07):
themselves. I've lost eighty pounds onthe program. Well, I tell my
clients, you can do it.If I love to eat and hate to
exercise, and I can lose eightypounds on this, then you can do
sure, you know. And italso goes back to your why. You
know, why do you want toreverse your diabetes? Why do you want
to lose one hundred pounds? Whydo you want to get read of your
ibs? Well, you know,so I can sit in the roller coaster

(12:30):
at Disney Row with my grandson,or so I can you know, be
able to walk in ten years soI can enjoy retirement with my wife.
And John Maxwell, John Maxwell,Who's you know, motivation guru? He
says, once you discover your why, you discover your way. So we
remind our clients of those whys andwe celebrate their wins all the way to

(12:52):
the finish line. You know,I read something your reasonally bridget And I
don't know many people have actually,but uh C s Lewis, uh you
know the Narnia series and all that. But he wrote back in the forties.
I guess it was a book calledThe screw Tape Letters. Some people

(13:16):
are familiar with it. I'm not. But the whole, the whole concept
is it's it's a it's a demontalking to his nephew about how to how
to keep Christians from being Christians?Right, But there was a line in
there I read recently just the otherday. I'll probably get it wrong,
but the gist of it was,you know, get them not to stop

(13:37):
acting on their feelings. And whenthey stop acting on their feelings and they
don't do anything, and then evenif they do, they don't feel it.
I don't know why. That's justjust struck a nerve with me.
And so often that's what happens,I guess, for lack of a better
term, you're getting a rut.Yes, it won't you get there.

(13:58):
You don't feel you can ever getback out yet. And so many of
these diets or these cell health programsgetting healthy focused on the body. Right,
that's just the what what am Itrying to do? I'm trying to
reverse the symptoms of diabetes, highblood pressure, IBS, obesity, lose
weight, get healthy for my family. But that's just the body, you
know. The what? The howis the is where the mind comes in.

(14:22):
The how is your mind? Howdo I do this? Well?
We all know eat less, exercisemore, right, So why isn't everybody
healthy? Why isn't everybody in shape? No, you can't focus on the
what which the whole matter, becauseif the health program is based on what,
you're gonna get bored. Now,You're gonna get bored just studying human
anatomy. If the goal is basedon how you're gonna have conflict, it's

(14:46):
based on the why there's gonna besuccess. Why am I going to skip
this cheese cake? Because my grandchildrenneed me to be here to walk them
down the aisle. That is why? And it makes it a whole lot
easier to stick to a program whenyou truly focus on your why, when

(15:07):
you have a health coaching team thatpromises to hold your hand all the way,
keep you motivated, to reverse thosesymptoms of health that are going to
keep you back from a life thatGod meant you to live, from the
genetic blueprint that he meant you tohave, and being all that you can
be. Yeah, and how andyou talk about the grandkids and the kids

(15:31):
and the spouses and all, andhow often is it that if you can't
find within yourself for you look atthe people who love you, that's right
and would would like you to bearound for a little while and to be
able to enjoy life with him.And it's sometimes that motivations EXPERI I've said
it a thousand times theory and I'llsay it again. You have to get

(15:52):
healthy so you can take care ofyour family, because if you're not healthy,
you won't go to take care ofyour family, or worse, your
family will have to take care ofyou. And that's a scary thought.
Yes, it is all right.So it's ninety days and it's I know
it's it's it's accountability, right,You've you've put together an incredible accountability team

(16:12):
at the health there that is thereon your side for ninety days. Or
you go through it. I've experiencedit. I know I've lived it.
I've done it. And a greatthing is is once you go through it.
I say that like it's a negative, but once you go through it,
you never forget the things you learned. That's right. And the healthcare
coaches are standing by if you're listeningand you can grab a handful of belly

(16:36):
fat. Or you have high bloodpressure, high cholesterol, IBS, high
blood sugar, diabetes, UH,if you're just having trouble with your sex
life to stosterone, pick up thesong and call us go to one eighty
seven seven, I dare me orgo to idearmy dot com and I guarantee
results in thirty days or your moneyback ninety days to freedom and health.

folks. Bridget Trammel from the HealthThere, Thank you, Bridget. If
you can reach down and grab ahandful of belly fat, stop going to

(19:18):
Health and Wellness Show. On oneof three point five FM and five sixty
a f W VOC and we welcometo the microphone Matt Lyon, the owner
of care Free Boat Club at LeigMurray. Good morning, my friend,
Good morning, my friend. Howyou've been. I've been, well,
man, I've been. We've hada wonderful time. I gotta mention this
because it was last week and lastSaturday night that we loaded up a party
pelican and took out a bunch ofour neighbors and I went out to see

(19:41):
the Purple Martins at Balm Island.And I have to tell you I did
that same trip two days before you, and it was it was pretty It
was the first time I had doneit, and it was pretty neat that
that's pretty cool out there. Itis. It's a good time. And
and here here's the here's the differencewith your boat club. Because we didn't
get back until about nine o'clock.Yep, you know, y'all are gone.

(20:04):
You know, doors a lock,everything. But you allow your members
to keep boats out, you know, after normal business hours. We do,
right, I mean you can leave, can take it out at night.
You and I have talked about thisin the past. I'm not the
biggest fan of being on Lake Murrayas his son goes down and yeah,
I was high tail and let thatparty of Pelican to get back before we

(20:25):
got too dark. But you know, this is one of the differences,
and it comes to what you guysdo, and it's one of the things
that when I started this, Iwanted to make sure people could use boats
as if it's their own. Ifyou live on Lake Murray or live around
Lake Murray, you're gonna want togo see the Purple Martin's. Probably not
every night, but at some pointyou're gonna want to take friends and family
out there to see something pretty coolthat's unique to our area. We want

(20:47):
you to be able to stay outlate and do that. So we have
a system. We have a programso far knock on wood, it's worked
out great. Yeah, and here, you know, I mean around this
parts, the boating season last prettymuch all year long. I mean,
and I have been out in December, We've been out in January. We
will have boats on the water allyear for people to use. We may

(21:08):
not have all our boats on thewater all year because the off season is
when we're gonna pull them out eithersell them to replace them with new or
fix them, do some some deepcleaning and some maintenance and so forth.
But we will have I would sayat least five boats on the water all
year long, depending on how farthey draw the lake down. Well,
then there's that, yes, ofcourse, of course, and you just

(21:30):
added a couple more wave runners.I think we did. We did.
We added two wave runners. Theythey're three seater wave runners. They've got
the radio on them with the speakers, all that fun stuff, and they
in the reservation system. They goout together, so when you book a
reservation for the wave runner, you'regetting both. We felt and the members
felt as well, they voted onit, that it'd be more fun to
have two, and it's worked outgreat. At the moment we have three.

(21:52):
The plan was only to have two, but we still have the one
we originally had, and then wehave the two new ones that go out
as a as a reservation together,so it's working out well, very cool,
I think. So it always morefune with two people when you take
a wave runners out right, absolutely, yeah, absolutely, And I get
scared being on the back of mywife's wave runners, so I'm happier when
I'm on my own and she absolutelyrefused to be on the back of yours

(22:15):
exactly right, exactly she needs todrive. Now, let's again talk about
the difference. Tell you all,let's do that. Let's get into the
back story here, how you gotinto this, because this is your first
year out of Late Murray. Itis it is. I was up in
the Chicagoland area where I'm from,and I'm about five years ago joined a
Carefree boat club location up there,and it was the best thing I ever

(22:37):
did because before that I was Iowned boats and I was a horrible bone
owner. I've literally wrecked a boatthe first day I owned it. And
it was my mechanic who I wascomplaining too, that said, hey,
Matt, you might be someone whowants to join a club, and I'm
like, what's a club? Ididn't even understand it. I looked at
the three clubs they had up there, like the way Carefree pushed their member
to boat Ratio. I felt thatthat mattered quite a bit. Joined the

(23:00):
club best choice I could have evermade. I literally started just doing what
I wanted to do with just showup and boat right. I never to
deal with anything else. And upthere, you've got to pull your boat
out, you've got to winterize it, you've got to summarize it, you've
got to store it over the winter, all this stuff that you don't want
to do. And so this gotme out of all that saved me a
fortune. So when I came downhere, I decided I either need to

(23:22):
join a club not like boating,or start a club. And at the
time I couldn't get clear answers tothe member to boat ratio on the clubs
that were currently offered. So Ireached out the care Free and said,
are you guys willing to come downhere? And they said yeah, if
you're willing to own it. AndI said, okay, I guess I'll
do that. So long story short, long story short, it worked out
great, having a great time.And that is I mean, if you're

(23:47):
going to join a boat club,that's the number one question I asked the
boat to member ratio. Yeah,it's a no brand. And this is
quite honestly. Again, I've toldmy story and I've owned three boats over
the years, and well, I'venever wrecked one. I've banged into stuff.
You know, I probably shouldn't bedivulging this to you. Is the

(24:07):
owner of the boats that I takeout on a regular basis, but I
actually find the pontoons much easier todrive for some reason. Maybe it's just
me, but regardless, Well,and we do free training for all the
members so that they're comfortable in theboat. And throughout the first season now
with ten boats on the water,we've had no charge to any of the
members for damage. Right, sowe've been able to fix whatever's happened and

(24:29):
been little miner stuff. We're notgoing to charge people for any of that.
We're gonna as long as it worksand we're good and you know,
make it work, even with dogson the boat, right yeah, yeah,
which we haven't done. Your coulardog, he say, said,
I have two dogs that are fakelabs that hate the water and hate boats,
fake laps. They won't touch thewater. We don't understand what's wrong

(24:51):
with them, but they're special.So I'm wrong with them. Dogs man,
the real laps. But you know, you the boy, you don't
have to eat even have ever had, because I guess that's a question a
lot people have. I've never drivena boat before, Matt. You're telling
me I can join your boat club, yep, And you can learn for
free how to drive a boat,and we'll take you out as many times
as it takes for you to becomfortable. And we do that. We

(25:12):
have I'm gonna say probably five membersthat have never had any boating experience at
all, and we walk them throughthe paces. We keep them safe.
We want them to be safe abecause a member who's not safe probably isn't
gonna stay a member, and theboats are gonna get damaged. So we
do whatever it takes to make surethey're comfortable in the boat. We kind
of work them through the boats,start with our smaller boat and our smaller

(25:34):
engine, and work them up biggerand bigger as they go, and eventually
they they're taking out the tipsy Turtledouble decker with no issue at all beautiful,
which is the double decker with aslide on the back. It is.
Yeah, I haven't done that oneyet, but the day will come,
I'm sure so. But my experiencea lot like heres, aside from
not wrecking of boaters. You did. That's a good story, ask me

(25:55):
anytime, right, It is justit's it's a hassle everything about a boat,
but being on it is a hassle. Literally, everything a blast yep,
yep. But now you don't havingto again take it out of the
water and trail it, or orif you're not trailer get and you're running
a slip, assuming you don't liveon Lake Murray. Now, of course

(26:18):
you know we've done we've done thatbefore, we've done in both ways,
and well, it was much moreconvenient to have a docked out of Lake
Murray. That ain't cheap. Now, by the time you add in the
docking and the slip rental and theinsurance, you're about the cost to be
in the club, right, andyou don't have a boat if it's just
insurance in dock slipping this you haveaccess to ten plus wave runners and you

(26:41):
know, as far as access goesa little bit. Just an fyi.
This morning I got four texts fromdifferent members and you know, one of
them was, Hey, we gota boat for today. We don't think
the weather's gonna be great. Canwe go to tomorrow? Another one was,
Hey, I'm on this boat tomorrow, but can I get this other
boat tomorrow? Hey we're in thisboat for half a day, can we
get a full day? And wetext right back, change the system,
do whatever it takes. So Wemake it super easy, whether they're doing

(27:03):
the reservation system themselves or they canjust text me. They can text anyone
on my staff and say, hey, this is what's going on, this
is what we need, and wemake it happen right away. It's been
great. That's a great reservation system. I know. I ain't got in
there. And oh gosh, whenwas it? Probably at least a month
month and a half ago, Andyou know book booked a boat for Labor
Day weekend. I mean, matterof fact, I think you've told me
before you can. You could actuallygo ahead now and reserve a boat for

(27:26):
what is as long as up toa year out. It's a year out.
Yeah, wow, okay, we'llhave to look at the calendar.
We don't well, and we talkedto a lot of members about what's needed
right like we I would tell someone, don't reserve a boat for next fourth
of July right now. You don'tneed to. No one's going to do
that. But if they ask me, come may if they should book,

(27:48):
you know, and save, Isaid, if it's important to have the
afternoon with a certain boat on aspecial day like that, book it a
month out or so. It's usuallygood now again, carefully boat club as
you mentioned you remember in Chicago,correct. There are locations all across the
country, one hundred and thirty sevenas ye yep, and we add about

(28:08):
ten to twelve every year. Okay, So what does this mean to me?
You can go to any of them, you can go to all of
them. You can go to anyand all of them a bunch of times.
So literally, if you're going onvacation down there, but he just
brings Florida Fort Lauderdale, there's aboutsix carefree clubs within forty minutes of Fort
Lauderdale, including one right in FortLauderdale. So if you're down there with

(28:30):
your family and you want to hopon a boat, you no longer have
to run a boat and pay fouror five hundred bucks for a day and
be in a crappy boat. Youcan through the reservation system, just book
a boat at that club and you'regoing to get the same level of club
boat we have here, the samevariety, same choices, same everything,
and there's no charge to you whatsoever. Beautiful, I'm gonna take you up

(28:52):
on that one. Please do Wehave a lot of members who go to
Charleston for the day yep. Wehave a couple members to go up to
Charlotte for the day and take aboat out up there, just if you
enjoy boating. It's fun to geton different bodies of water, it's fun
to see different things. You're outthere for the experience with your loved ones
or friends and family, people youwant to spend time with, but it's

(29:14):
also great seeing the scenery, seeingdifferent things. I'm hoping at some point
to get up to Lake Hartwell andput a location up there after after I
do my second location on Lake Murray, because I think we need to do
it. Yeah, you're right now. You're out on three seventy eight out
by right next to South Shore MarinhoreMarina. Yep. Yep. But you

(29:34):
and i've been talking off and onunofficially, unofficially for a couple of weeks
that you're looking at a second location. Yep. We currently have the former
FRAID not under contract, yep,and that's looking like it's going to close
shortly, being supported by a localbank as well, so everything's local.
The sellers local, the reelers local, the bank's local. We're going through

(29:56):
all the due diligence process now andthe very first thing we'll put in play
closing will be the second care FreeBoat Club location, so that way we're
covering both the north and south sideof the lake. A really good thing
about that location is we would beowning and in control of the gas,
so there's no longer But one ofthe challenges we have now is our members
stay out as late as they want, but the dock closes at six o'clock,

(30:19):
so we have to run around themorning to fill up gas for people
here. Our members at that locationwon't even have to fill up the boat.
We can do it all for youbecause we're gonna be right there with
everything beautiful. Okay, so you'llkeep both locations absolutely right. All right,
good, very good. I'm goingto ask you something about that.
Oh there, I know this isnot the business you're in, although you've

(30:42):
been in this business I think inthe past, because we're about the restaurant.
I've been in every business the best. I have a little bit of
an addiction. But yeah, there'sa tiki hut that will once we get
once we get it officially done,it'll be open, it'll be operating.
We're going through our concept for thatas well, and the restaurant is still
under the due diligence period about zoningand so forth, So there will be

(31:04):
food there for sure by this comingby by next season, for sure,
one of the things that I thinkthe lake needs, and I think a
lot of people that enjoy the lakewill agree it needs more food. Right,
I was gonna ask you that hadto be a big surprise to you.
You got Murray and realized there's thereare many places at all. Coming
from the Midwest, you'd be ona body of water maybe a sixteenth the

(31:27):
size of Lake Murray, with fourteenmarinas and twenty restaurants. Really, it's
this is a unique situation, andit's awesome in many ways. But I
do think breakfast is needed on theweekends in the summertime, so that that
operation will have breakfast. And thenthe restaurant, like I said, it
is still under due diligence to makesure it's own properly and so forth.

(31:49):
But the Tiki hut is all clearand done, and that'll open up potentially
by this winner for sure before nextseason. Okay, all right, I
was gonna ask about the timeline onthat, all right, So in the
meantime, I know that you're yougot any slash left for the summer season.
We do the summer here. Itgoes until you know, probably I
always say it's like the second weekof the fair before summer ends around here.

(32:10):
When when we started, my goalwas to have fifteen to twenty members.
As the season progressed and I addedboats, I realized I can add
more members, and now my goalsthirty five members, and were I think
three people away from that. SoI have and then we're going to close
up membership until probably late fall,when we'll do a late fall special that
won't be as aggressive as where we'reat today. This is still under our

(32:31):
grand opening special quite frankly, sothis should be our best pricing, so
you still got a chance to getin absolutely in the summer season here.
How to folks do that, myfriend? They can go to care Free
boats dot com, real simple,or they can go to eight three three
four boat four four. So that'seight three three four two six eight seven

a three point five FM and fivesixty eight mail company BOC and we returned
now with Aaron Plott from Massage Mechanicsvery good morning, Good good morning,

(35:25):
Gary, Massage Mechanics were Yes,they do make house calls. We want
to talk about that today. Soyou do make house calls, are you?
We do make house calls. Andyou know, it's funny because originally
when I started the company forever ago, and it was just me and I
was working from my own house.Yeah, you know, occasionally somebody would

(35:47):
call and be like, hey,will you come And I was like no,
because that seems super creepy, youknow. And but then as I
as I furthered the career and everythingand started running into more clients you had
mobility issues and you know, somesome older people and things like that where
it just wasn't as easy for themto get to me. It made a

(36:08):
lot more sense to come to them, you know. And and now that
has bloomed into a whole thing,especially with COVID. That was one of
the yeah, I mean, thatwas one of the main things because you
know, I was working in theprivate gym, and I was working with
a physical therapy practice, and alot of the patients that had sort of

(36:30):
finished up physical therapy. But we'reseeing me to keep you know, themselves
going and functional. They technically weren'tsupposed to do that and everything, and
so people were calling me left andright and saying like, you know,
I mean, is it okay ifyou come to us and things like that,
And I mean, honestly I did. I may get myself in trouble

(36:53):
for saying that, but it was, you know, it was a private
situation between me and you know theperson that was calling, and you know
it was necessary. I mean,this is functional stuff that like, if
they weren't getting regular work done,they were going to be in a lot
of pain and they were going tolose a lot of the progress that they
had made. So really COVID kindof bumped it up super high. But

(37:19):
I think the main the funniest thingreally that people don't think of when they
think of house calls, are youknow, the more fun side of it.
So we do parties. There aregroups that will call us and they're
doing a pamper party, or they'redoing a bachelorette thing. You know,
somebody's getting married that weekend and they'reall at a house on the lake or

(37:44):
something, and they'll call us inand ask us if we can come work
on people while they're getting ready andthings like that. It's just really a
lot of fun. Yeah, it'sit's a lot of fun. It's a
lot of fun, just kind ofgetting a chance to be a part of
somebody's day that way. You know. We actually did a really cool family
event the other week where we threeof us went out and worked on eleven

(38:09):
people for an hour each at theirat their lake house. They were in
town. They were running a houseon the way airbnbing and they had found
us online and read the reviews andthey were just like this sounds like a
fantastic idea and call the stuff andyeah, yeah, it was a lot
of fun. You know, youget to meet some really interesting people that

(38:31):
way. You know. We alsodo hospital calls and hospice call. Yes,
so, and we've talked about thatbefore with with hospice care and everything
and how that can really be superbeneficial to somebody as they're transitioning into that
end of life situation. And thehospital stuff are our prenatal mamas sometimes ask

(38:52):
us to come to the hospital,you know, to help them while they're
in labor. You know, wecan do some things to make them more
comfortable while they're in labor that hasnot been as frequent just because hospital policies
and things had had changed during COVIDSure, so that was something that sort

(39:13):
of fell by the wayside, butit's starting to pick back up again.
And it is something that we absolutelylove to do because we we developed pretty
close relationships with people throughout their pregnancyjourney and as we work on them and
make sure that they're comfortable. Soit's really it's really really these you know,
it's very rewarded. And I wasgoing to ask you, I mean,
this is this a service only forfolks who are you know, homebound

(39:36):
or or you know, have mobilitychallenges, but I guess it sounds like
it could be for anybody, huhright, And and it and it truly
is. I mean, we,like I said, we'll go and we'll
do small groups. I have somethingthis weekend where it's a bachelorette weekend and
we'll go out to work on uhyou know, and that's and that's in
Hopkins. So that's the other thingis like we we don't necessarily just stay

(39:58):
local. We can travel within areasonable you know, timeframe. There's a
lot of notice that's needed for thatthat's not gonna work. So we stay
really busy here in the office.So all of our house calls do need
you know, kind of a reasonableamount of time for notice, especially if
you're going to need more than oneof us to come out there. But

(40:22):
we bring everything. We bring thetables, We've got portable tables, we
bring all the sheets, we bringmusic, we bring hot spouts, all
the oils sometimes depending on what itis. We've done a couple of really
nice anniversary nights where we will planthe whole thing. We'll bring a big
charcuterie board, will bring prosecco andstrawberries and all the things and set up

(40:45):
and do a really nice couple's massageanniversary thing for people. And oh yeah,
I mean there are a ton ofways to do it. We've done
office events where we'll show up andwe'll you know, cater lunch and everything
and set up for an office andwork on the staff. We do a
lot of corporate stuff like that wherewe partner with some local people around town,

(41:09):
various different businesses that do caterings andthings like that, and it's a
way to kind of help spread thelove business lives and getting their names out
there too, So we hope theboss listening right now. I mean I
feel like I feel like my heartwould be a great thing to do for
that, because we've been working withyou guys for several years now, and

(41:31):
yeah, you know, I thinkthat would be an excellent thing. You
should definitely bring that up to thatAnd well, we have just a little
bit of stress level here in thebuilding, a ton of time, a
little you know. And it's crazybecause there are actually studies that show that
productivity goes up after like fifteen minuteterm sash. So it doesn't even have

(41:52):
to be us bringing in full tablesor anything like that, Like we should
work on people for fifteen twenty minutes. Productivity goes up, stress levels go
down, employee retention goes up,employee satisfaction goes up. It's a really
great way to you know, tellyour people that do all the work for
you and run, you know,keep your company running, that you appreciate

(42:14):
them. That's fabulous. I know, I had no idea all these years
we've been talking are we've never talkedabout this before. I know, like
I was saying before, like typicallyI go, you know, down the
science road and you know, talkabout specifically like, oh well, if
we do this session or this treatment, this is what it does and all
the things, and I've never reallytalked about just kind of overall, Hey,

(42:36):
this is a service that we offer. This is something that we do.
And when people find out, they'refascinated. They're like this this sounds
so great and they and they wantto do it, you know, so
so I love it. So whatsounds like that mean? There's there's not
anything that you do for an officevisit you can't do for a home visit
pretty much. Yep, Yep,there absolutely is not. There are a

(43:00):
couple of considerations, you know,safety being one of them. Obviously.
If you're a complete stranger to usand you're calling and you're like, I
want somebody to come to my housefor a couple of hours and just work
on me, and it's just likethe single therapist thing. There are some
safety things that we have to takein considerations because we want to keep everybody
you know, okay and safe andand you know, we explain those ahead

(43:23):
of time. You know, ifyou're brand new like that and you're not
a referral from somebody that we know, but you're not a family member,
from a client or a co workerfrom a client. You know, if
there's no connection anywhere, we're gonnareally want you to come into the office
for your first appointment. You know, if it's impossible because of mobility issues

(43:45):
or things like that, then wecan make things work. But we definitely
would be you know, having somebodyis going to have all of our information
about where we are and you know, how to get there and who we're
with and things like that, soyou know, we definitely put safety first
all. Yeah, but if itis a mobility issue thing and you're in

(44:07):
someone calls who you know would likeyou to come out and visit them in
their home, but you've never workedwith them before and they can't get into
the office. I mean, Iguess maybe a quick call from their doctor's
office or whatever a referral would takecare of all that or what that could
be something sure, but all sometimeswhat we'll do is we'll set up a
consultation and you know, two ofus will go out there and we'll just

(44:29):
meet you and we'll see you know, because a lot of times with mobility
issues too, space might be anissue for you know, are we gonna
bring a table or are we goingto work on like if you are in
a recliner a lot of the times, and things like that, like can
we work within that environment with thingsthat you already have. And that's been

(44:50):
something that we've done before because alot of times, a lot of our
older mobility people are are in youknow, nursing home facility or rehab place
and they don't have a ton ofspace and so that can be challenging.
So coming out and taking a lookat the space first is a good way
for us to be able to planfor what we're going to need to do.

(45:12):
And it's you know, we getto meet too, there's somebody with
us, it's you know, andthen you get to meet us, because
that's the other thing is like youknow, y'all won't know us either,
you know, And so it's alwaysa good idea to have that contact beforehand,
so you know what you're walking into. You kind of know what to
expect as they do as well,you know, And and and that's just
that's just common sense, you know. That's alute good. Yeah, Aaron

(45:36):
Plot for Massage Mechanics joining us thismorning on the Health and Wellness Show on
WVOC. Now, I suppose thatbecause we talked so much about the therapeutic
massage, you do you know,it sounds like, for example, when
you guys went out to the tothe to the lake house and into the
party of eleven he here recently thosein the words, if somebody just wants

(45:58):
that those are like the feel goodmassages, I guess yeah, they tend
to be. I mean they're definitelylike we're still doing our intakes. They
aren't as in depth as they arein the office obviously, do the time
constraints and and you know, it'sjust not that kind of session. You
know, people are just kind oftrying to relax and enjoy because they're on
vacation, and so you know,we're still doing you know, we're still

(46:21):
asking what are some problem areas,Is there anything you need me to focus
on? Stuff like that. We'regetting information about them so that we can
customize it, because we are stillgoing to customize your session to your preference
and what you need, regardless ofwhere you're at. So, but they
are they do tend to be alittle less clinical and a little bit more

(46:45):
spot like, you know, sowe can't do that. You know,
I've always said that we absolutely cando the luxury and the pampering and all
the things. You know, that'sjust typically when our clients are coming into
the office, that's not necessarily whatthey're looking for. You know, they're
not coming for the charcuterie board whenthey come in the office, right exactly.

(47:06):
But if they do want that,we can make that happen. We
know people I know, but it'sjust fascinating. You mentioned anniversary massage.
That's a fabulous idea. Think aboutall and then all the bells and whistles,
and we have even done it beforewhere we have contracted a private chef

(47:27):
to come. What will happen iswe're in setting up for the massage and
everything, getting them ready for that, and the chef is in the kitchen,
you know, getting the meal preppedup and ready and so that it's
ready pretty much right after the massageit's finished, and so one of us
will break down the table while theother therapist will basically help serve the meal

(47:50):
and everything and make sure that theyare completely taken care of. And then
we both will go in and helpthe chefs kind of clean up, get
everything situated, make sure they're goodbefore we go, and then we skidaddle
on out of there. So,man, it sounds like you're bringing like
a like a cruise ship kind ofsetting right to somebody's heart. We can
we can do a whole lot ofcustomization, and it's something that we are

(48:15):
going to be marketing and advertising alittle bit more moving forward now that covid
has seemed to pretty much clear theway for that. It was kind of
touch and go there for a littlewhile, and so we didn't really want
to spend the money on marketing andadvertising the services if we weren't really going
to be able to use something right. So it's it's definitely a whole new

(48:35):
bright horizon, you know, comingforward, and it's going to be really
interesting to have the clinical side ofthings in the office and then sort of
the luxury side of things for thetravel side. Step. Now, we
talked about lead time. How muchlead time do you typically need for to
arrange something like those areas. Sofor something like that, especially like the
anniversary, thenner usually three to fourweeks because we've got a coordinate with the

(49:00):
private chefs and you know, doall the things there and there's a little
bit that goes into that that chef'sgoing to contact the clients and kind of
see what their preferences are, whatif they have allergies, things like that,
you know, and really customize thatnight to them. But that gives
us a little bit of lead timeto make sure not that we just have
therapists, but also that we cancoordinate all the things that you would like

(49:22):
to incorporate in that evening. Andand we do have a lot of resources
at our fingertips. We have astheticians, we have you know, private chefs,
We have just about anything that youyou know, sharkcuteries if you just
if you don't want a big heavymeal, you just want to muncheese,
things like that. We I meanwe literally got even ivy hydration and things

(49:45):
like that. Like we can,so we can bring in a lot of
people, you know. We wedefinitely have contacts and can customize just about
anything. So so guys, youcan't you can't just call, you know,
call over there today and talk tothere and say, yeah, my
anniversary is coming up Monday night.You know, you're gonna have to think

(50:05):
a little bit more pre planning intothis. There is a little bit of
pre planning and if you aren't lookingfor all the belt and whistles. If
you're just like, hey, Ijust want a nice massage in my house.
Usually about a week lead time spine. You know, you may get
real lucky because there are four ofus in the office and be able to
get us a few days out thatthat one. That one's hot just because
of the travel. It's just youknow, because we're here in the office

(50:30):
and we're pretty busy here. Soit's definitely something that you know, the
more lead time the better. Youare definitely going to get what you want
with more lead time. What arethe geographic restrictions here? You mentioned all
are in Lexington, You mentioned yougo over to Hopkins and so do you
cover most all the Midlands with thisor are they're just yea, yes,

(50:50):
so all of the Midlands, Columbia, Lexington, New Very even chasin those
areas West Columbia obviously even into theNortheast life flood things like that, where
we start traveling, you know,forty five minutes to an hour and out
that again, more lead time isneeded. We can typically make that happen.

(51:13):
I've gone to Myrtle Beach before,we've gone to Charleston before, things
like that, we can make thathappen. It's just you know there's going
to be some travel fees that areinvolved, and you know that'll all be
discussed beforehand before we even do acontract, and then you know we will
make all of that happen for you. And of course, the more against

(51:35):
the more bells and whistles that youwant to add on to that, the
more lead time that's going to benecessary. And if say, you want
us to come down to Charleston andyou want to have a chef come in,
or you want us to have something, then we're going to have to
find some people in Charleston, whichwe do have access to, you know,
but we've got to coordinate with that. So patience is key, and

(51:57):
being as specific as possible about whatyou want is also a really great ideas,
no doubt about that. All right, So you can find out more
I'm sure it's your website, rightor just by giving you a call,
yes, yes they can where You'regoing to have a lot more stuff about
this on the website in the upcomingweeks, but right now, best way

(52:19):
to really find out all the informationabout that, if you have questions about
a specific event is to call usat eight zero three five two zero six
two nine one and leave a detailedmessage and a really good contact number because
we will more than likely have tocall you back for a longer conversation like
that. And then you can alwaysgo to the website that's Massage Mechanics sc
