Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Everyday Millionaire Show with
Ryan Greenberg and Nick Kalfas.
Alright, guys, welcome back toanother episode of the Everyday
Millionaire Show.
We are here in Cabo San Lucas,mexico, about to record an
impromptu podcast.
We wanted to do this because,first of all, we wanted to show

(00:24):
you this fucking crazy view thatwe have and do some more
lifestyle content that we'vebeen talking about doing for the
last several months.
So, nick, how's it going here?

Speaker 2 (00:35):
good man life is beautiful.
Beautiful weather here, I mean,I know back at home today, and
the past couple days have beenrelatively warm, considering
it's November now.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
But very nice, very nice here in Cabo the service
here and just like what we have,like we rented this house.
It's a crazy house on this hill, like I mean.
They literally build thesehouses on steep ass hills and
they're just like castles andyou definitely work your calf
muscles coming up the stairs.
Yeah, you get a workout everytime you come up here.

(01:05):
But I think one of the coolestparts is just the service we got
.
We got a concierge this guy,Juan who just comes and takes
care of everything we want.
So one of the reasons for thistrip I guess we could say that
is that we try to do a companytrip every year somewhere sick
and like to show ourappreciation to everybody that

(01:25):
works for us.
Nick tags along and Nick's thepodcast partner, so we have to
bring him too.
Justin's the new sales guy.
Obviously, everybody knowsChase already.
He's been on the last severalepisodes running all the real
estate sales side of things.
We like to come down here andspend some money and have some

(01:47):
fun.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
Dude, this weather is insane, the cell phone service
insane, the people insane.
Like everybody's so nice andit's safe, it feels so safe.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
Although when we first got here I don't know what
it was and don't say it'sbecause my Android, but I was
having trouble getting serviceand then I was able to figure it
out.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Well, let's talk about that.
It is definitely 100% anAndroid issue and if you had an
iPhone you wouldn't have thoseissues, just like none of us
have had issues here.
But not only the cell phonesignal is good here, but we were
offshore fishing for marlinyesterday, catching giant marlin
a mile off of the beach whileadam was facetiming.

(02:29):
People like we go offshorefishing at home and you are
fucking deep, you're 60, 70miles offshore, you can't talk
to anybody, you got no.
You got no communication withback home unless you have a
satellite phone or starlink orwhatever.
This was just like we werelooking at literally boats and
girls on the beach while we werefishing a mile off the beach

(02:50):
catching these giant beautifulmarlin.
I think that's.
I think that's that was.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
that was pretty sick, and the reason for that, for
those of you who don't fish, ishere in cabo you can go, like
ryan said, half a mile mileoffshore, still see the
mountains and the shorelines andthe water depth is about 2,500
feet, whereas if we go back homefishing we have to go three
hours offshore just to get thatdepth of water.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
We're still not even in that depth, even that far off
.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
And it's cold.
Yeah, half the time it's cold.
You're in bibs and everythingelse like cold weather gear.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
It was a little rocky , though it was very choppy.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
I would say the wakes were probably six foot to eight
feet.
They were less than that, butit was.
It was choppy, it was.
We definitely got some.
We had some sick sicklings.
Chase got sick first.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
I had to follow him up.
I got sick only time.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
So Chase didn't feel bad about getting sick.
Not only did not only did Chasebounce back, but as soon as he
bounced back, we had hooked a170, 180-pound blue marlin and
reeled it in like a champion.
How was that?

Speaker 3 (03:52):
That was your first billfish right, that was my
first billfish.
That was actually the probablymost intense fish encounter I've
ever had.
You're reeling super fast,you're fighting this fish and
you get it close it's probablylike 20 feet, thank you so much,
thank you and you get it closeand then it just rips 100 yards

(04:13):
right out and it feels likeyou're holding 180 pounds just
in your hands and it's the mostcrazy experience.
And to do that in shorts and at-shirt when at home we'd be in
like all weather gear and it'dbe nuts.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
The yeah, the.
Sometimes it gets a little bitdemotivating because you're
working so hard and you get likea couple of cranks in and then
that fish just gets mad and itfucking goes, and it's like all
that work that you just did thatis gone.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
You just reeled your forearms.
I mean, my forearm had neverhurt so bad.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
I had the longest fish.
It was actually probably closeto a mile because we had 400
yards of mono and then the fishcame up.
So if you don't know billfishing, fishing, bill fishing
they come up, they whack thebait and Then they come back to
it and they swallow it.
So we had a hit, the fish leftand the mate dumped the reel.

(05:13):
So he just put it in free spooland just let all this line out.
I was just watching the lineand line line.
Then he finally hooked up andthen we saw it jump and it
literally looked like it waslike five miles away, but it was
obviously probably like seven,eight hundred yards away and it
I mean it took me what?
20 minutes at least to get.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
Brian has been preparing for the last year for
that moment, all the workoutroutines that he has done yeah,
certainly helped him out.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
That is very true.
I was, I was struggling, butand then somebody I think Adam
was like you want somebody tohelp you?
I was like, absolutely not,this is my, this is my fish.
I'm gonna take it down.
I'm gonna, because then peoplewill be talking shit this entire
trip.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
I was talking to the captain up top while you were
reeling it in.
He was like yeah, the mates.
He was like they love it whenthe big strong men come on board
and think they can justmanhandle the marlin and then
they get all worn out and can'tget it in.
But dude, you did it and it wasit was pretty cool.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
Like they said, we caught four, we reeled in four
marlin.
We released them because wewere hoping to get a mahi or
another wahoo that we couldbring home and that was the
intention was to bring it backto have the chef cook it for
dinner.
And uh, we didn't end upcatching a wahoo or mahi, so we
came back with no fish, but thatsea bass.
We didn't end up catching awahoo or a mahi, so we came back
with no fish, but that's seabass yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
So that's the other thing too.
Let's, let's talk about thatreal quick having a private chef
, when you top, top notch.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
I've never had that experience, and that's just.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
That's a different class think about how much time
it saves.
I mean, they're, they're inthere prepping right now, and
what time is it now?
It's's about nine o'clock, yeah, so they've been here for like
an hour, hour and a half,prepping for breakfast.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
Yeah, so we got back from our activities.
We got back from fishing.
The chefs were oh no, we gotback from fishing, went to play
pickleball.
The chefs came in, startedprepping their food for two
hours.
They prepped their food for twohours prepping their food for
two hours.
They prepped their food for twohours.
They made a sashimi, all sortsof all fresh fish, everything.
They're in there for two hoursprepping while we're like up the

(07:12):
hill playing pickleball, havinga good time.
Then you cook, they serve youjust as if you're in a
restaurant, and then they cleanup and you just go back to doing
whatever you're doing onvacation.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
It's like they don't want you to get up, like they're
going to come to your.
Come to the dining room tablein the house and bring you a
refill of whatever you'redrinking yeah, they're making
fresh margaritas but but themargaritas are actually insane.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
I don't.
I haven't drank like reallythis year at all, but like we
had that one day at taco bar Ihad a couple margaritas, these
you got it, yeah, and they're.
Everything they made too, ifyou notice, was fresh, like they
didn't have jarred salsa, likethat lady was chopping up the
tomatoes, chopping up three,four hours, the first night, and
they were just prepping yeah, Igot worried the first day they

(07:55):
showed up so early.
I was like we just ate.
I'm not ready to eat.
Yeah, he's like no seven sevenlike, oh my god, yeah, they were
here all day and just the theservice of yeah, just the
service and, and not only thechef, the private chef, they,
they're here for breakfast,they're here for dinner.
The the concierge, likeproperty manager, whatever you

(08:17):
want to call him one is just anawesome guy.
Like you never get a a rentallike this that comes with just a
full time person.
He not only sent us a list ofstuff that what we wanted to be
stocked in the fridge, so we gothere.
The fridge is like it lookslike a professional organizer
organized it with just drinks,food, fruit, fresh fruit, fresh

(08:40):
everything, bagels, whatever.
Like I mean, it was a massivehall of food and all just
sitting here waiting for us toget here.
Like it does say, if you thinkabout it, like we spent a shit
ton of money on all of it, butit saves you so much time, so
when you're down, here,especially on a short turnaround
, like four days, come down here.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
You're doing things every second.
So like having that time wherewe didn't have to go to the
grocery store, six of us numbnuts trying to decide what we
wanted for dinner, likeeverything's already been
decided.
They get here, stock the fridge.
I mean, it's just that's aworld-class experience.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
World class and the neighborhood we're in is also a
gated neighborhood where youhave to get access through
guards and another side accesswith a uh with a car, which is
awesome because that also makesus feel a little bit more safe
oh, it's, yeah, super safe.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
We've been running every morning down the marina
and and what the chef last nightwas saying this in this
neighborhood and maybe adam cangrab the gopro and like show,
like the background, but thesehouses are like millions of
dollars.
The one that we toured withjuan was like 4.5 million
dollars at the top of the hill.
This one that we're staying inis like 1.6 million and I think

(09:48):
this is probably one of thecheaper houses in the
neighborhood.
He was saying people like, um,kevin durant has stayed here,
leonardo dicaprio he wasthrowing out names like crazy,
just like all these, oh, johntravolta, trump, um, just any
everybody and anybody that youcould imagine like this is, this

(10:09):
is the spot when you come tocabo.
This neighborhood and thesefucking castles that like are
literally built on a 90 degreehill.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
It's like I would say that this part of cabo is like
it's a very small town, so likethis is probably like one of the
.
I think, yeah, all of cabo is avery tiny town, so like this is
probably like one of the.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
I think, yeah, all of Cabo is a very tiny little
little place.
I think that's what the chefwas saying too last night.
He was like you know, you couldgo like two hours away and
there's like another kind ofsimilar place like this, but
this is the spot like there's noother like spot like this, like
we're on the hill.
The marina's right down thehill.
We'll walk down there.
The downtown area is just likea couple of blocks.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
I would say, and walking distance.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
We got there in like eight minutes last night yeah,
and you guys went out, like wewent out for a little bit last
night until like 10, 30, 11, andit was totally safe, like there
was even it was it was dia delos muertos yesterday, and like
there was kids in the streetwalking around like I felt
totally safe.
There's art.
It was like a whole.
Yeah, that's their day too.

(11:09):
That's it, that's like a bigthing a lot of tequila taste
testing.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
That was a lot of different.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
That was like over like a hundred different
tequilas I've never seen beforewell, I imagine in Mexico,
tequila is probably one of theirbig, big things that they sell.
I wouldn't say healthy, let'snot.
Uh, if you're gonna drink it,yeah, it is.
According to gary brekka, it isthe healthiest of all the
alcohols and stuff like thatwell, oh, that's the other thing

(11:36):
we we should talk about,because we've been.
We've been on this health kick.
You know we're doing the ironman training right, and justin's
the one that actually pointedout first when we we looked at a
bag of lays potato chips, likeliterally looks like the lays
potato chips that you get athome.
It just has spanish on it, butthe ingredients three
ingredients.
There was three ingredients.
Now, like rfk is talking about,like you know how, all this

(11:58):
stuff and he's bringing it tolight.
I think he's doing a good jobof kind of showing how much shit
they put in our food, thepreservatives and makes you
addicted and makes you want tokeep eating it.
But even like the oreos, theoreos at home you eat one oreo,
you eat a fucking sleeve oforeos, these oreos here they
come in a small pack and you eattwo and you're like, okay, I'm
satisfied, but up there, youknow, you're just like

(12:21):
everything, like when a potatochip has it was three, it was
potatoes, the ingredient listwas potatoes, salt and like oil
or something like that, that'sit, that's it and and they
definitely taste a littledifferent, but it's not bad,
they're nothing's like badhappily buy these and bring them
back yeah, yeah, I think that'sa, that's a huge thing.

(12:43):
And I think just the thelifestyle too, like everybody
walks everywhere, I think that'sa huge thing.
And I think just the lifestyletoo, like everybody walks
everywhere, I think that's ahuge thing.
Like people are, I mean, evendown at the marina Chase and I
were down- there Runningshirtless, and then they found
out the next day that it'sfrowned upon.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
We were running shirtless.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
We found out that it was a little frowned upon to run
shirtless.
And what did we do today?
Chase, we ran.
Frown upon to run shirtless.
And what did we do today?
Chase, we ran, we ran, we ranshirtless again because we are
americans.

Speaker 4 (13:08):
That was before.
After, you're also gettingyelled at a pickleball we were
the only.

Speaker 3 (13:11):
We were the only people shirtless.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
We were the only people shirtless, that's true,
but we probably look the bestthey've never seen physique like
this down here.
Dog and then, yeah, we went upto play pickleball and the girl
was like hey, you have to have ashirt on.
I was like I don't have one.
She's like okay, it's fine.
She's like it's on the signhere, it's on the side.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
She's like but you couldn't really see you the side
of your court that you were on.
It was really hard to like yeah, no, it was fine.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
I mean everybody like even she was super nice.
It was funny, though she thisis what I thought was funny
about the pickleball thing.
So we booked pickleball fromthree to five and we were, we
went out and what I don't knowwhat we were doing, we just
weren't there at three.
There was nobody else on thesepickleball courts at all, not a
single person.
There's four courts and we gotthere and she's like, oh like,

(13:55):
after 15 minutes the reservationcancels.
So I'm just looking at an emptypickleball court I'm like yeah,
four courts.
There's like four courts, not asingle person.
She she's like I'll rebook yourreservation.
I'm like, do we really need areservation?
Can't we just walk down andplay pickleball on the court?
Can't we just do a pickup game?
They do take it really serious,like all the rules here, which
is good, because you know you dohave a lot of fancy houses.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
I'm sure a lot of rich people don't want just
people being yeah, you got tothink of the ownership and her
doing her job and if the ownercame and noticed that she was
slipping a little bit, they maybe upset with that and
potentially risk her losing.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
What we could do, too , is we will have our editor cut
in some of the footage fromthis house that we toured
yesterday this house.
So back to some real estatecontent.
This person bought this housefor one point six million in
2020.
All they did was build thisterrace with glass walls, which
is cool, but it the guy said itcost 100k american and it wasn't

(14:52):
even the best view on the house, though yeah, well, it wasn't
the best view, but it was a sickview it was.
It's overlooking the pacific,with all this canyons and
everything, and he sold it in2023 for 4.5 million dollars so
he didn't even want to sell ityeah, he was just like in a
massive amount of money.
Yeah, he's like how can you notsell it at that point?
Right, and the other thing thathe was saying when we chase and

(15:16):
I ran up there the first time Imet him is that the lady who
owns this entire, all of thisland her, her dad, like, is a
generational thing, but shelives even higher than that
house, which is tip, I think,one of the highest houses in
this little community.
She lives in one higher.
She owns this entire place andher dad was a pilot and flew,

(15:38):
was flying and just saw thisgiant rock basically it was what
it is and he and's like I wantthat piece of land and started
building these mansions on it,which is insane to think about
the engineering in general, butto think just like, oh, I'm
flying over and I want to buythat mountain it's like three
mountains around and there's avalley and he's like I'm going

(16:00):
to own that.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
And to know that it could become something at one
point, because you can be on anairplane and see like different
mountains and have no activity,no houses, and how would you
know?
But this is really close to theocean.
I'm looking at an excavator,almost looking like it's going
to fall off the side of thecliff, like they're just
building insane amount of housesover here.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
Yeah, he did say so.
95% of these houses areamerican owned.
Um, I imagine that people fromcalifornia this is their kind of
like florida yeah right, likeit's super close.
Um, I did see, when I waslooking up ignorantly, looking
up private jets to get here,there's, it's actually not that

(16:38):
bad to fly from san diego tohere.
It was like four, four grand ona private plane.
So if you're like you know,four grand if you have a family,
isn't really that bad.
If you think about if you livein san diego and you're going to
bring your family down here tofly private like eight grand
round trip, that's a prettyquick flight from san diego.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
I would imagine, yeah , this is uh, yeah, I probably.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
Yeah, I imagine it's probably three hours.
I mean, this is at like the endof the end of that peninsula,
so I don't know what it is, butI mean regardless, cabo is
definitely one of those places.
That's like just unreal for aquick trip, even coming from the
east coast.
It wasn't that hard to get herea couple flights, a couple.
You go to texas, you're halfwaythere.

(17:21):
You go from texas to here,you're two hours away.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
It really wasn't that bad yeah, it was like what a
total of seven and a half hourswe almost got.
We literally got off our firstflight and had to, like, rush to
the gate um, get to the secondone, we landed early, like 30
minutes early, but they werejust.
They didn't have any space forus to to pull up.
And where was that?

Speaker 1 (17:42):
no, in texas oh right , right in texas, yeah, yeah,
that would have sucked to missthat flight because I'm sure
there's not a ton of flightsthat are coming down here.
But yeah, no, super easy.
And the activities like todaywe're is it?
Today we're going dune buggy?
Yeah, today we're going dunebugging down like in the desert
and stuff.
And having juan has been amazing, because all I did was I've

(18:06):
been texting him on WhatsApp forthe last month or two and he's
like so what do you guys want todo when you're here?
He sent me a menu.
He sent me a menu of all thethings we wanted.
It was like dune bugging,fishing, scuba diving.
He just set everything up.
Any reservations that we wanted, he set up for us the private
chef.
He sets it up, sends me a menuof what we want to eat.
The private chef shows up, theydo their thing, they cook.

(18:28):
It was like you have a personalconcierge the entire time
you're here and he manages thatfive, four million dollar
mansion up at the top and he'slike come on up and use the pool
, come up, we were going to filmthis podcast up there.
It's just a long walk and wealready have the chefs here.
So we were just like I willjust film it here, but just so
like welcoming.

Speaker 3 (18:47):
You know like they're just yeah, that was such a cool
experience.
Dude like what what othervacation do you go on where you
stay at a million dollar houseand the the property manager's
like, hey, come look at thisfour million dollar house, yeah
and hang out and just come hangout.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
He's like you could hang out there all day go, yeah
and that one.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
When we come here next time we'll have to rent
that one.
That one's 2400 a night and itfits 14 people.
So, like even if you got 10people, that's 240 a person per
night.
That's not bad at all to stayat the like.
The house that's up at the topof the hill has two pools, looks
over basically everything thatwe see here yeah, the, yeah, I
think 2400 a night for 14 peoplereally isn't that bad.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
It probably wouldn't be a comfortable 14.
Like this says eight people butit's not a comfortable eight
because like we do have peoplesleeping on couches and stuff
here.
I guess it would have to be like14 people, seven couples,
basically, yeah couples wouldwork for sure, but 2,400 a night
isn't really that bad when youthink about it.
I mean, this place was like, Ithink, $1,500 a night, so

(19:46):
another thousand bucks orwhatever you got and you could
double your guests easily.
But I think the other thing tooabout coming with like a group
of six is that you can do allthese activities with six people
, like fishing was perfect, theboat was perfect for six people,
dune bugging you got six.

Speaker 3 (20:06):
It's much easier to move around with a group of six
than it is with 14 people Makingdecisions too.

Speaker 1 (20:09):
Yeah, making decisions.
Luckily, I am one of the toptier vacation planners around,
so I had all the decisionspretty much made before we even
showed up here in Cabo.

Speaker 3 (20:20):
We were talking about that last night too, which is
interesting.
Something I didn't think aboutis like when you come on
vacation and you plan everythingback to back to back and you
stay busy, you don't just sitaround and drink, like people
our age do, and then they go tothe bar and get drunk and then
you're just like you're doingthe same thing you could have
done in america, but in mexicoyeah, I think everybody can

(20:41):
relate like we've been tobachelor parties or vacations
where the people are just goingout and getting drunk, going to
the clubs and then you wake uplate You're wasting half your
day.

Speaker 1 (20:52):
Yeah, tyler's literally still sleeping because
he went out late last night,but that to me, ruins half the
vacation Today.
The last couple days we wererunning down the marina.
We were up early yesterday.
We were running down the marina.
We're up early.
Yesterday we were up earlyfishing all day like we got.
We're getting the maximumamount of time for activities.
Oh yeah, there are some hillshere.

(21:14):
The marina is not too bad, butwe ran up this canyon and we'll
try to cut in some video of that.
That was Justin could just itcould vouch.
That was a tough hill.
It's like what?

Speaker 2 (21:24):
you think, you're, think're there, and then you
turn a corner and you're likenope, looking up at the next
hill.

Speaker 4 (21:30):
Now I just know Ryan's time management is
horrendous.
His five-minute run is a Justin20-minute walk.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
Well, okay, to be fair, if I told you how steep
and hard it was to get there,some people might have backed
down of that situation and Iwere running up there and he's
like playing my brakes chase andI were.
We were running up there and Iwas dying I'll be honest like
I'm in pretty good shape and Iwas fucking dying going up that
hill and I was like we, we'regonna.

(21:58):
I literally said I think we'regonna have to lie to them about
this I was like I don't knowthat they're going to want to
walk this.

Speaker 4 (22:07):
Like we're going to lie and we're going to get the
best way to ask Juan.
He was like oh yeah, there'spickleball courts and we saw the
ones over there.
He's like no, it's like uphill.

Speaker 3 (22:12):
And then I guess, when you guys figured out, now
I'm like oh, it makes sense howhe, his car and he was like,
stopping and waiting for us andpointing and telling us the
directions to the pickleballcourt.
He didn't have to do that, healso said I'll get you when you
get tired.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
I'm like we're not getting tired while we're
getting.
We're running up this hill,dude, we're running up this hill
.
That was pretty epic.
I mean this, just the whole,the whole vibe.
And I also love like we're here, like we are talking about work
a little bit, you know, hereand there, because this is what
we do, but like it's a true likeget away from all this stuff.
Like my work phone has been onairplane mode.

(22:50):
I I transferred my number backhome to some, you know, to
jocelyn, who's working andtaking all the calls.
Like I really haven't done anywork besides a couple text
messages.
You got a couple calls.
What a deal we did.
We did buy a house while wewere here, not a house in cabo,
but we want to deal from ourneighbor.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, mattfullerton.
Shout out to matt fullertonjustin got another wholesale

(23:12):
deal yeah, he's trying to.
He's trying to move them.
So we are working, never mindguys oh, there's still work yet
done.

Speaker 3 (23:19):
Yeah, yeah, there's, there's work tyler's working the
most.

Speaker 2 (23:22):
He works in his sleep .
He sleeps eight hours.
He's working those eight.
He works in his sleep.
He sleeps eight hours.
He's working those eight hours.
He's on his phone.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
He is, though, because he's on his phone the
entire time working, which islike I get it, but he also, to
be fair, I will say he was awayfor two weeks in Europe, and he
got a lot of shit done while hewas there too.
So kudos to him for that, kudosto APM, he, and he got a lot of
shit done while he was theretoo.

Speaker 2 (23:44):
So kudos to him for that.
Kudos to APM.
He was on his phone.
So when he went to dinner withhis family he said he was on his
phone because of the timedifference and the guys were
just out working during thosehours.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
Yeah, he's one of the hardest workers I've ever met,
but it is just being a businessowner and people can relate to
this, like when you go away andthen you come back, it's the
hardest thing.
Before you go away it's thehard because you've got to prep
and make sure all the people areready and you might not have
access to me or whatever.
And then you come back and it'shard because you're playing

(24:15):
that catch-up game.

Speaker 2 (24:17):
I do feel like when you do go away, it helps me
think harder and what I can dobetter to leave my guys for the
period of time that I'm going toleave for I think that's a good
point.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
I really do think that you have to practice
letting the people do their whatthey're going to do, and like
giving them autonomy, so thenyou figure out where those
systems are going to break.
Like he was gone tyler was gonefor two weeks in europe.
He came back for four days andthen we left for cabo and
there's didn't even know wherehe was going.

(24:49):
He thought he was in newhampshire tyler, to be fair,
never knows where we're going onvacation until like about a
week before I do tell him, likesix months before when I
actually book it.
But I know he doesn't like keepa calendar or anything, so I
have to.
I have to keep his phone whenout.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
He, literally we left the driver and he left his
phone in the van and he had tocome running out, and then
somewhere on the boat, he lefthis shirt and his wallet.

Speaker 1 (25:12):
Yeah, so usually like a week or two before I'm like,
hey, just a reminder, we'regoing to Mexico next week,
you're not going to be able towork Like On what was it?
On Wednesday he texted myassistant in a group chat with
me and he's like hey, carl, canyou schedule a building
inspection for Friday?
And I didn't read it for alittle while and Carl then said,

(25:34):
yeah, sure, it's scheduled forFriday.
And then I finally got to thetext message and read it and I
was like Tyler, you're in Mexicoon Friday, you can't do a
building inspection.
And I was like Carl, can youcancel it and make it for next
week please?
And that's literally what, whatwe had to do.
So he literally on Wednesday,did not know that he was going
to Mexico on Friday.

(25:54):
But he came and you know if wehave to bring some extra things
for him sometimes, liketoothpaste and stuff like that,
but he got his ass here and itworked out.
So but yeah, that um, the wholelike just planning vacations and
having it in the books, I thinkis another thing.

(26:15):
Like I, as soon as we get donewith this one, I already start
looking for the next one.
And it's the same thing with,like these races and stuff like
the iron man, like any of thistriathlon stuff, like when you
have something in the calendarit keeps you dialed in.
Like if we didn't have thatrace in miami in two weeks, I
probably would be less inclinedto go on these runs today and
and do what we're doing.

Speaker 2 (26:36):
So I think just to stay motivated right, like
having something to do yeah, andjust find your way of being
motivated, whether it's planningthat trip, like you mentioned,
working out or just setting agoal and like taking baby steps
to get there and hitting thosesteps each time to kind of give
you that motivation to keepmoving.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
Yeah, and it's like it's a reward too, not only to
like be able to like it'sblessed that we're able to bring
everybody here, but, like youknow, you have to reward, reward
yourself.
Even if you don't have likemoney to do some crazy trip, you
have to do something like.
I forget it.
Maybe we were listening to apodcast, nick, or we interviewed
somebody that they were sayinglike every time they buy a house

(27:13):
, they like do something.
Like they buy a house and theycelebrate it by like going to
dinner or going on a weekendtrip or taking their wife
somewhere, like buying theirwife a little gift or something
like that.

Speaker 3 (27:23):
Just to like, because it is what we do is a grind,
dude you have to have a specialtype of woman on your side for
entrepreneurs like us, becauseit's I mean, we're all working,
always even here it is.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
It is definitely a thing you need to do.
You need to reward yourself andI think starting small like,
even just like with a dinner orjust with what a company like
bringing people together.
And another thing too like weall kind of work together I mean
, besides Nick, even though wedo work together in some ways
with the podcast andsubcontracting stuff but, like
you know, adam's over there inthe background, tyler's here,

(27:59):
the sales guys are here Like wedon't really go to an office
every day and see each other.
Like adam's on the road everyday managing projects.
You guys are selling fromwherever you're selling, going
to houses, walking houses.
It's not like an officesituation where everybody's
getting that camaraderie everyday.

Speaker 4 (28:16):
So like bringing you got to really have that
self-motivation.
It does make it easier, youknow, working with chase and
stuff, because at least it'slike we get our like cold
calling sessions and stuff.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
Yeah, yeah, no, and I , like you said, ryan, like
celebrating small wins, evencelebrating like birthdays
basically there's a lot ofpeople who have birthdays and
you just like pass it off but tohave that celebration of wins
and like birthday moments likeyou have, you should do that
because it kind of just likegets you motivated.
When you don't celebrate yourwins, you kind of just like

(28:48):
mellow out and you don't haveanything really exciting to look
forward to, because theexcitement comes when you do
have these celebrations.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
Yeah, it's definitely , it's definitely true.
And if you don't do it, youjust you will eventually burn
out, I think, because need I'm atrap?
I like traveling, I like seeingdifferent places.
Also, selfishly, all thesetrips that I always book for the
company are fishing relatedtrips, because I, we go to, we
go to, I love seeing peoplethrow up, but actually didn't

(29:15):
get sick in hawaii when we wenton the fishing trip.

Speaker 2 (29:17):
So yeah, I don't know what it was here you did sleep
a lot though.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
So some people do get seasick and and not sick, like
throwing up, they just fallasleep, like my wife, paige.
She'll come out on these tripsand she like likes being on the
boat and stuff, but as soon aswe get offshore she just falls
asleep and it's not like she'ssick or anything, she just falls
asleep.
But the way I look at it, I'm afisherman.
I like going on fishing tripsand most people enjoy and it's

(29:42):
like a once a lifetimeexperience for some people to
like go out there and do thatshit so selfishly.
We, we do these fishing trips.
That's.
That's what's uh.
Next year I think I'm looking atpanama maybe come back here.
I mean, honestly, we there'sprobably stuff here that we
missed.
We didn't get to the beach, wedidn't do a couple of things
that I would have liked to do,but the four-day trip is nice

(30:03):
and and it's easy to plan.
Um highly suggest.
I'll try to put the.
I'll try to get Ezekiel to putthe link of this place in there
for anybody that wants to comehere, because I haven't had a
Airbnb or whatever you call itVRBO experience like this one no
, I think I was asking you theother day like how did you plan
this, like how did you come upwith this?

Speaker 3 (30:24):
And you're like, oh, I just booked on VRBO.
I was like no way you bookedaccommodations like this just on
VRBO, that's pretty cool, so,yeah.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
So what happened was I booked it on VRBO and then I
started messaging the host, whois not Juan.
The host was like the actualowner, who's an American guy guy
, and then he just texted meJuan's like whatsapp number and
he was like, hey, uh, text himwith whatever you need,
introduce yourself.
So I just introduced myself andthen he literally sent me like
a pdf of just anything we wanted, like if you wanted to go

(30:56):
horseback riding, if you wantedthe private chef, if you wanted
this, whatever.
So I just went through and Ilooked at the calendar and I
just booked everything out theprivate chef for dinner, for
breakfast.
We're going out to a really, uh,insane dinner tonight.
You guys are going to be in fora huge treat.
It's going to be the mostromantic thing we've ever done
with all of our boys.
Is that like a sunset?

(31:16):
Right, it's a, it's calledsunset mona lisa.
It's literally a restaurantbuilt on a cliff with glass
walls so you don't fall off, butlike it overlooks the cabo arch
where everybody takes theirlike pictures and stuff.
Um, we're probably going to bethe only group of like guys
going there together tonight.
Everybody else will either begetting engaged, they're gonna

(31:38):
yeah, they're gonna wonder whywe're there, but it's a.
It's a seven course chef selectmeal, so you don't even pick.
You don't pick what you'regoing to eat, you just are going
to like it, no matter what.
And they're, course aftercourse it's.
Every course is paired with adifferent wine.
It's going to be, it's going tobe, epic.
I did it with page and I waslike this is not a place that

(32:01):
you should probably go with allyour homies.
But I'm going to bring themhomies, but I'm going to bring
them.
I'm going to bring them allhere, because this is just too
good to be true.

Speaker 2 (32:09):
So let me ask all of you guys something Do you guys
think there will be a time inyour life where you will hire a
private chef?

Speaker 4 (32:14):
Yes, 100%.
I'd already looked into itprior to this dude.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
Yeah, we were talking , Justin 100% confirmed.
Yeah, you said about 60 grand.

Speaker 3 (32:26):
I haven't looked into it, but I know you mentioned
about 60 grand for them.
Well, we didn't.

Speaker 1 (32:28):
We talk about this a while back me and you, yeah, but
there, so there are optionswith that too, because we had a
private chef come over for mybirthday and it that was
unbelievable, like he was really, really good.

Speaker 3 (32:40):
The fruit was great.
Like, yeah, he was buying fruitfrom like this Chinese
supermarket and the fruit wascrazy.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
Like he was buying fruit from like this Chinese
supermarket and the fruit wasamazing, just like things that
you don't even think about, likethe way that he loves food and
like uses science to like makeit Like one of the ingredients
that he used in this, likebraised, like short rib thing or
whatever was like milkchocolate and like you couldn't

(33:10):
taste it, but you knew likethere was something different
about this meal.
And even like eric dude, likethis chef.
Here he was.
he truly loves the craft andeverything being so fresh, and
he really explained everythinglike afterwards yeah, and
honestly like I don't want tosound ignorant like 60k is not a
lot of money to spend, but ifyou think about getting a chef
for 60 grand and every singlemeal that you eat is clean,

(33:31):
healthy portion, controlled withfresh ingredients, it's really
not that much money.

Speaker 2 (33:38):
Okay, so if a chef is 60 grand a year, what would you
think someone would have tomake per year to justify having
a chef for 60,000 a year?

Speaker 3 (33:47):
Depends on their expense.
That's a loaded question.
I think it depends on.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
No, no, no, Well, not Give me a price range, because
you can't make 100 grand a yearand do it.
You can't make 200 grand a yearand do it.

Speaker 4 (33:57):
So what would you guys say?

Speaker 1 (33:59):
I mean, I don't like talking on air about, like, how
much I make.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
Well, no, how much would somebody have to make?

Speaker 1 (34:08):
in your opinion, I would say about 500 grand 500,
yeah, but even at 500, dude,like I don't even say it, but
like we make that and I'm notgoing to hire a private chef,
you know, like that's, I thinkthat that's.
That's like a what is that?
A one, almost a fifth, becauseyou gotta remember the 60k is

(34:28):
the labor.
You still gotta buy the food.
So you're spending 100k a year.

Speaker 2 (34:32):
I think you probably it's close to a mil, but you're
also you're buying food anyway,like whether you're shopping and
making it that's true.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
That's true.
I mean, I don't know, maybe amil, maybe a mil a year,
comfortably.
That's like clear, without.
And there's also a differencebetween like somebody that's
making a million a year, likefor our company, and versus like
what you are actually notreinvesting and putting into
your own pocket.
Right, because, like ourcompany makes a lot of money

(35:00):
seven figures but we're notseeing that because we reinvest
it so, like, maybe later in lifewhen that money's sitting there
and it's really not gettingconstantly churned and burned
like all the money you make.
You buy more houses with right,like if you took less 60K every
year instead of buying that manyhouses you did to a private

(35:20):
chef, it would, that would hurta little bit.
But there's also other options,dude.
There's these chefs that'llcome in and just cook your meal
prep for you, and that'sactually something that I have
been thinking about recently,now that I'm into really getting
dialed in with my health.
They count those macros out foryou.
Yeah, yeah, they count yourmacros for you and then you go

(35:41):
and they either come to yourhouse or you go pick it up and
you have your meals for the week.
I think that that service issomething, that it was a bug on
me here.
Um, that service is somethingthat most people can probably
afford if they wanted to, andand not have to go eat the shit
food that we're fed in all theserestaurants.

(36:02):
And you know, even restaurantsdo like they're using foods with
like preservatives and stuffwith the.
With the chef that you hire,you can literally basically just
like use organic uh, all theorganic stuff.
There he is.

Speaker 2 (36:16):
Goodness, tyler's up, that's our buddy.

Speaker 1 (36:22):
Tyler.
Yep, what an epic, what anentry, what an epic entry.
Mid-podcast Cracks a beer,cracks a cerveza, tyler come
here 9.20.
Get him in that wide angle,make sure he's in the wide angle

(36:46):
.
Oh man, that's epic.
And then he drops the mic andleaves.
I hope one of these cameras gotthat.
Um, that was that was funny.
I guess he, uh, is up from hisup from his slumber, he doesn't.
No, no, you're saying feeling.
He doesn't ever not feel good.
That's the problem.
That's literally the like.

(37:07):
He is one of the craziestspecimens that I've ever been
had the pleasure of being withfor the last eight years.
That can go out until fuckingfour in the morning and get
completely blacked out and thenwake up at seven and be at work.
Yeah and.
But the problem with that ishe'll do that like with people
that we work with or work for us.

(37:28):
It can't bounce back like thatand then he gets mad at I know
when we were out last night.

Speaker 2 (37:33):
He's so good at that.
I'm like I'm tired, I want togo back.
He's like where do you got tobe?
Could I, could I do um?
Can I get one more?

Speaker 1 (37:44):
I'll try one.
Yeah, yes, please Three.
You want one?

Speaker 3 (37:48):
Thank you, Eric, Thanks Eric.

Speaker 1 (37:52):
I don't usually drink coffee, but I think I got to do
that.

Speaker 3 (37:54):
Dude, this is amazing .

Speaker 2 (37:55):
I know, chase, you needed some yesterday, and so
did I.

Speaker 3 (37:58):
Yeah, the fish kind of got to me.
We had a lot of fish day onecoming here.

Speaker 2 (38:03):
We had the fish tacos at the restaurant and then we
had.

Speaker 1 (38:05):
I mean, I don't know how you can come here and not
eat fish.
There's literally just fisheverywhere, like we were running
on the marina the first day andthere's just like people are
carting in marlin tuna Like it's.
I mean it is.

Speaker 2 (38:19):
Before we came here I didn't know that it was like a
fishing town.

Speaker 1 (38:22):
Oh yeah, yeah, I did.
Yeah, it's a fishing town, it'sliterally the fishing town.

Speaker 4 (38:29):
Yeah, I mean the restaurant we went to.
It's literally like you catchyour own fish, they'll cook it
for you.

Speaker 1 (38:32):
Yeah, yeah, which is cool.
But yeah, the the back to theprivate chef thing, because I'm
really intrigued with this.
I also just thought of, like,what if you had a couple of us?
We live within 15 minutes ofeach other I'm sure you can
split one.

Speaker 4 (38:50):
Yeah, have them come and just do it all at once.

Speaker 1 (38:53):
Well, yeah, like if I , if my family eats dinner at
seven and you eat dinner at six,we could you know what I'm
saying?
They could be prepping, and Imean he's got a little helper
there.

Speaker 2 (39:02):
I'm, I'm sold on that um, I wonder how much eric
would charge, or if he wouldeven consider moving to like a
full-time position, how much toget you on a plane?
Yeah, but like, even just liketo ask him like, if you were to
come to united states and workfull-time for one person, how
much would you charge?
Just out of curiosity, you ofcuriosity, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (39:23):
I don't think he can answer that because he doesn't
know how much it costs to livein the United States.

Speaker 2 (39:27):
Well, if we provided housing for him.
Maybe that might change alittle.

Speaker 1 (39:33):
Yeah, we could sell him a house.

Speaker 2 (39:34):
So I guess, in your opinion, hiring a private chef,
it would obviously get your timeback and I guess it would get
your help.
It'll make you eat more healthyfood.
But what's the more importantthing the time back or having
somebody like Focus on the mosthealthy foods that you can eat?
Well it's definitely, yeah,that's the definitely two
benefits of it.

(39:55):
Like what's the more moreimportant to you guys?
Would it be the time back thatyou're getting or the the health
of the food that you're goingto be cooking?

Speaker 4 (40:02):
I'll be honest, I'm a takeout king dog.
If my wife wants something,I'll order it like oh, you want
to stay from this restaurant?

Speaker 3 (40:08):
I do spend a good amount of time cooking at home,
especially got a vent mail timeyeah, I would say time, the
grocery shopping is huge, likemy wife goes to three different
groceries.
She goes all these sami Sam'sClub, Walmart, and depending on
what she's getting she goes todifferent.
So like having her not have todo that and what would she do?

(40:29):
with that time back that shewould be getting, she could do
anything she wanted, like that'sall she does right now and so
like it takes up a bunch of hertime.
I come home, she's cooking usthree different meals at the
same time because she's mealprepping us for the week, and so
she's cooking me breakfast Imean lunch and dinner and

(40:50):
herself lunch and dinner.
So she's making four differentmeals typically and it I mean it
takes two days to do all ofthat right.

Speaker 2 (40:52):
Who goes shopping?
Do?
Is it you that goes shopping?
Or page, or a combination?

Speaker 1 (40:56):
so I, oh, I order my groceries for delivery.
Um, I, I started doing that,man, and it does cost a little
bit more, but I'm like time,time, time time.

Speaker 4 (41:09):
Thank you, eric this is actually chef Eric.
Yeah, here he is.

Speaker 1 (41:21):
Thank you, thank you, thank you very much.
If you think about like, howmuch time I save by ordering
groceries and then not having todrive, sit in traffic, whatever
they just get delivered to thehouse, I'm telling you I
probably save like two to threehours a week and you know it

(41:42):
doesn't sound like a lot.
But when you're working andlike when you're doing what
we're doing, you're putting astrain on your relationships, no
matter what, right, withfriends, your wife, with whoever
, family, and every minutereally does count.
So for me to spend, I think theInstacart membership is like
$100 a year and then it's like a$6 or $7 surcharge.

(42:04):
Then you tip the person.
So you figure you're probablyspending an extra $15 a grocery
haul, right, so you go and get,and you could get from Costco,
you can get.
So if you spend $200.

Speaker 4 (42:17):
It's just that delegating we do in our business
anyways right.
Yeah, it's the same, the same.
Thousands of phone calls tounqualified leads right yeah,
yeah, we hire the cold callers.

Speaker 3 (42:29):
Well, the other thing is like thinking about like I
don't, I don't like to eat thesame meal every week back to
back, I can't do it.
So, like being able to pushthat to somebody else, to a chef
or whatever that would be, thatwould take so much mental
strain off of me, because mychristian's always coming to me
like, hey, what do you want thisweek?
And I'm like I don't know, likecan we like you?
I mean, we're using chat, gptto figure out my meals.

Speaker 4 (42:52):
I'm using tiktok like what do you want for lunch this
week?

Speaker 1 (42:56):
yeah, right, right and and they and you know what,
when you're, when you're atrained chef, you think
differently about food.
So you, you're the combinationsof food like we can get the
same thing.
This is what I noticed, likelast night, when we were like,
hey, what are you going to makefor breakfast?
Like, look in the fridge whatwe have like.
And he's like, oh, I'm going touse this for this and you don't

(43:17):
.
We don't think that way.
We're like, oh, it's turkey, wegot to make a turkey sandwich.
He's like, oh, I'm gonna chopit up, I'm gonna do this.
And like, you know, if you, ifyou, if you're classically
trained, like that it's, youknow.
It's like putting somebody infront of a piano that's never
played a piano versus somebodythat's been playing the piano
for fucking 20 years, they'regonna be able to put different
sounds out than than you are sowe're gonna be renting doom

(43:39):
buggies later and ryan is justtrying to get into race car, so
hopefully he doesn't take it toohard on the doom buggies today
and flip or anything but so Idid.
I did recently learn how todrive race cars thanks to my
brother-in-law, who brought me.
I joined this bmw club with him, because you have to join this
club to be a part of the track,and I went to the track.

(44:01):
I don't know if we've talkedabout this on the podcast, but
it is invigorating.
So, like you think you candrive fast and it's cool.
You're sitting on the highwayand you take off, or you're
sitting at red light, you takeoff, and that's one thing, but
these, this shit is crazy.
You're in a, you're on a twomile track, so two miles,
there's 19 turns and you'redriving at like insane speeds

(44:25):
that you've never driven atbefore, and then you're slamming
on the brakes, making 90 degreeturns, and then I thought I was
doing good, like I thought Iwas good at it.
The um, yeah, you think you'relike good at this thing and um,
I'm holding out until nicklowers his terms on hollaburton
all right, let's talk about it,come on yeah, you want to talk

(44:45):
about the deal.
Why don't you put a shirt on, soyou?
don't put a shirt on so youdon't scare anybody.
Um, but yeah, the.
I went and drove with theinstructor after I got done
driving and I thought I was likeking shit driving this car and
you're like ripping around theturns at 80 miles an hour and
you get with them and they'relike twice as fast as you and

(45:07):
you're like I'm like, literallyat this point in the you're
strapped in, you have a helmetand you're the helmet strapped
to the seat so you can't likemove your head or anything.
And I'm sitting there like justholding on to like whatever I
can, and they're doing a hundredmile an hour, 90 degree turns,
just spinning.
And it was the.
It was like a rollercoasterride, the most invigorating
rollercoaster ride ever.

(45:27):
And of course, I'm like noteven a car guy.
I, the second.
I come home from this fuckingweekend.
I am searching up BMWs, I'mlooking at Porsches.
I'm like, oh my God, anotherexpensive fucking hobby.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (45:41):
I'm sure Paige is loving that.

Speaker 1 (45:43):
Oh dude, you know what sucks.
This is another thing thatsucks.
All of the fun hobbies are soexpensive, Like we fish.
Okay, I had to buy a boat.
You can go golfing Every time.
You have a $2,000 set of golfclubs.
You have to still pay $120 togo play.

Speaker 3 (46:03):
Or you're losing 20 balls.

Speaker 1 (46:04):
You lost, like what?
Four?
Oh yeah, golf tournament.
The other day I lost four orfive proby ones.
I was like, oh, there's another25 off the like, just yeah,
it's just expensive.
So if anything's motivating,find some fun hobbies to do and
you will, uh, forever bemotivated to keep making money
because you can't afford to do.
Yeah, like just the race carthing too.
Like every we did one day ofracing with the one car.

(46:26):
So I raced one car all day.
I had four different tracksessions, four track sessions of
30 minutes.
We had to change the break, thebrakes completely.
They were brand new.
The day the second I started,the day that first day that I
finished.
It was a two-day event.
We changed the brakes and thetires, so all four tires and the
brakes had to be completelychanged, brand new at whose

(46:48):
expense is that?

Speaker 2 (46:49):
is that included in the fee that you paid to?

Speaker 1 (46:51):
so I yeah, because I rented.
So I rented the car.
It was 1500 bucks for theweekend and they supplied the
brakes and the stuff the car wasthere with you.

Speaker 2 (47:01):
Is that who?

Speaker 1 (47:01):
it was yeah, so it's like a company.
It's called let's Go Racing.
He's out of Virginia and heowns several souped-up race cars
.
He's got this crazy ToyotaSupra with 650 horsepower.
Did you choose the car that youwere going to be in?
Yeah, I got to choose.
They had BMWs.
It was a BMWw club so there's alot of bmw m2s, m3s, m4s.

(47:25):
Um, I chose the camaro becauseI wanted to drive stick and the
other ones had, like, the paddleshifters in them and I was more
interested in I like.
Like I used to have a manualcar, so I like driving manual.
And the the camaro was thislike souped up ss.
It had like I think 550horsepower and a bunch of torque
and it was that.
That was like cool.
So that's the car that I picked.
But yeah, I could have pickedany other car.

(47:46):
The supra was like 3500 for theweekend.
Like there was different tiers.
Obviously, yeah, you have toget track insurance, it's called
okay, so that helps cover, ifthere's so I learned about that.
So like, basically, like, myfather-in-law has a BMW M2 that
he races pretty consistently buthe also drives it on the road

(48:07):
like a regular car.
Some of the cars they're noteven legal to drive my
brother-in-law's car.
He had the trailer there andit's literally an older BMW
that's stripped completely.
It's got no.
Instead of the radio and tapedeck or whatever you want to
call it, it has a screen therethat's just for time.
So it has, like how fast you're.

(48:28):
It's a g, it's actually agarmin, and it's like it tells
you how fast your times are foreach lap and it tells you your
delta, whether you did a fasterlap or a slower lap than the
last one.
It's like a game.
It's like a video game.
But I learned that trackinsurance.
So they had these crazy cars.
They're like all sorts of cars,but track insurance only covers
you up to 250 000, so you can'thave a car unless you're like

(48:51):
super baller and don't give ashit, because we watched cars
crash like there was a car thatliterally went right off the
track and crashed into the walland they said it was going to be
like it's definitely going tobe totaled like that.
Track insurance covers it.
But you can buy track insuranceper day or you can buy it for
like the whole year, but Iimagine it's expensive.

(49:11):
But that came with uh, thatcame with that thing.
I think I paid a total of like2500 bucks including the car,
the bmw club entry, which isgood for like a year, and gas.
So that was the other thing.
Use a half.
It is two mile track for 30minutes.
So you're driving for 30minutes full tank of gas,
basically a full tank of gas,because you can't go out there

(49:33):
with less than like a certainamount because they don't want
you like breaking down orwhatever.
So I think I was using likethree-quarters of a tank and you
can't go out there with lessthan a half a tank, so it's like
they don't allow you to.
So I, every single session,every 30 seconds, 30 minute
session, you had to fill upthree quarters of the tank of
gas.

Speaker 3 (49:53):
So definitely not an expensive hobby yeah, it's an
expensive hobby.

Speaker 1 (49:57):
That's why I'm holding off.
I've been looking and you knowwhat, if you, if you don't want
to do something like I reallydon't want to buy this car don't
join the clubs on facebook,because I'm joining all these
these different groups onfacebook and now all I see is
porsches, bmws for sale and it'sit's really hard to stay um,

(50:18):
stay away, but I'm seeing them.
I'm like, oh man, that would benice, and adam and I are
looking at.
I'm like, oh man, that would benice, and adam and I are
looking at.
I'm like, oh, what about thisone?
And what about this one?

Speaker 3 (50:25):
like shit I'm gonna fucking buy a car next thing.

Speaker 1 (50:27):
You know you need a trailer to tow the car oh, no,
no, yeah, yeah, that that's howthe that's how the boat happened
, that's how the boat that's howyour truck captain I promised
myself that I wasn't gonna buy aboat.
So many of the listenersprobably know I started.
I was a boat captain.
I was working on boats.
I was driving people's boats.
It was great because I didn'thave to pay for anything.

(50:50):
I was getting paid to bringpeople out on their boats and
they were like big, you know,fishing boats and whatever
private boats.
I would teach people how todrive their own boats.
And then we to florida and Irented a boat in st pete.
You were there, right, I thinkyou were there.
Yeah, we rented a boat and itwas a 22 foot center console and

(51:12):
I we were in this like crazychop.
And you know my boat, it likeit, it does so well in this shop
.
And it started just throwingthis water and it reminded me of
a 50 foot like custom Carolinaboat.
That's like millions of dollarsthe way that it just cuts
through the water.
I came back home and I was likePaige, I think I'm going to buy
a boat.

(51:32):
And she's like, ok, because sheknows I love it's like a
passion of mine.
I stopped because the businessgot too busy.
I really stopped working onboats and I was not really
getting out as much as I wouldhave liked to get out on to fish
.
We have boats that, like herfamily has boats that we get to
use like wake surfing boats andcruisers and stuff like that.

(51:52):
But I wanted a fishing boat.
I saw this boat was like themost amazing 22 foot boat that I
ever saw, just because I rentedit.
I came back I was like I'mbuying a boat.
She said, okay, great, I founda boat in Pompano Beach, like
just north of Fort Lauderdale,and I said I'm going to go buy
this boat.
And then I realized that mytruck that I had at the time

(52:21):
didn't have the capacity to towthe boat.
So I said I don't know if Ieven told her about the truck
until after I did it.
But then I went and I bought atruck, a real expensive not just
a truck, a real expensive truck.
And then I came back and I said,hey well, what happened was I

(52:43):
didn't get bring it home thatday because I had to order it
and like they didn't have thattruck.
And I came back and I was like,paige, I may have bought a
truck, you may have bought atruck.
No, I bought a truck because Ihad to, because I couldn't go
tow the boat back from Floridawithout the truck.
But now in hindsight it wasgenius.

(53:04):
Chase and I were talking aboutthis yesterday.
If I had bought the truck first, there was no way she would
have let me bought the boat.

Speaker 3 (53:14):
So I really pulled some.
Should have been like yo, youjust bought a $90,000 truck,
you're not buying a boat too.
That would have been crazy.
So that was smart thinking.
So buy the car first and thenthe trailer will come.
But you have people.

Speaker 2 (53:30):
No, buy the trailer first and then say I got to fill
it with something.

Speaker 1 (53:33):
I'll buy a car trailer without a car, and then
I'll be like Paige, why I can'thave a car trailer without a
race car to trailer it, and thenI have to buy the race car.
That's it.
No, I really I'm trying to bestrong about buying things,
that's.
I think that's one of thehardest things when you when,

(53:56):
like the lifestyle inflation wealways talk about, like don't do
it, don't do it, your lifestylecreeps and for for we've been
running this podcast for threeyears now, right, and we're in
the beginning.
We're like you know, you got tostay focused and and building,
and building, and building.
But eventually it gets to apoint where, if you don't spend
it, you have to enjoy it.

(54:16):
You have to enjoy it.
You have to enjoy it.
You have to be able to dothings.
You have to be able to bringyour friends and people that
work with you and like none ofour business, like I was telling
Justin last night he was like,thanking me for bringing it.
I was like none of this wouldeven be possible without the
people that are here.
Like I can't do all this shitmyself, tyler can't, even though
he thinks he can.
He can't do all this withouteverybody.
Like it's a truly it's avillage.

(54:38):
It takes a team team and if theteam's not motivated, it's like
sports too.
If you have a shitty coach andlike a shitty group of people
that are all like, you know, youthink about the like, the
all-star teams, right, like,those teams probably wouldn't be
the best teams because there'sone person that thinks they're
like I think nick saban and theBama run, you know what I mean,

(54:59):
yeah, he was a great coach.
Yep, so eventually you got tospend it Not all of it, though
Not all of it and you got to bevery careful of that point that
you get.

Speaker 2 (55:11):
You have to understand that point that
you're going to be at before youstart spending.
You don't want to do it toosoon.

Speaker 1 (55:16):
Yeah, to be fair, we could talk about nick again like
we talked about this on thepodcast.
A bunch.
Nick was living in a small asscondo.
Actually first nick didn't ownany house like that he lived in.
You owned 20 houses first, sowhat was?

Speaker 2 (55:31):
it was seven houses before I moved out of my parents
okay, so, yeah.

Speaker 1 (55:36):
So nick owned seven rental properties, which is some
people's lifelong goal beforehe moved out of his parents'
house.
So that's like, just in itself,self-control, because you have
you.
I mean you don't want to beliving at home, but you're
building this thing, so you haveto do it.

Speaker 2 (55:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (55:53):
Okay, We'll wrap it up for the chef in a couple of
minutes.
But the um, the fact that youdid that and held off, and then
you moved into a veryconservative little condo for a
little while and lived there forhow many years four and a half
years, lived there for four anda half years.
You had a kid, you know you hadto make sure you're, you know,

(56:14):
providing for them and you.

Speaker 2 (56:16):
You lived there for a while and now you bought a big
million dollar house on thewater yeah, and it wasn't even
planned like I would have beenfine living in the condo for a
few more years, but that housepopped up on the auction website
and I had to toward it the daybefore it went up for auction.

Speaker 1 (56:31):
I'm like man, I gotta get this house yeah so, and
then that was like your reward.
And now what I what I also findtoo and I I can close with this
and everybody can kind of weighin is like, when you do make
that like Chase just bought aTesla when you do make that big
purchase when I bought thattruck and I knew that I had to,
like I have to justify buyingthis truck I was working my ass

(56:54):
off.
I was like grinding.
I was like, OK, I bought atruck and a boat and I got all
this other shit I got to pay forand make sure that all my
people are still paid like thatin itself is motivating.

Speaker 3 (57:06):
I, I think, yeah, you got to be careful too.
Like being around people likeyou and Nick and Tyler like the
comparison comparison is thethief of joy.
Like me, like just getting towhere I'm at, um, it's.
It's hard to have thatself-control, but you really got
to make sure you're dialingback and making smart, educated
decisions, and you do have toenjoy life a little bit, but

(57:28):
there's a point where you haveto be responsible as well.
And so like the Tesla purchasewas basically just an equity
swap from my other car, and solike I didn't really do anything
crazy besides bump my monthlyinsurance up a couple bucks,
yeah, and it's gonna save me gas.
And it was more of like a allright, we're looking at a ton of
homes.
I'd rather drive somethingthat's more economically sound

(57:50):
and there's a certain like.

Speaker 1 (57:53):
When you're in our business unfortunately, this is
a true thing there is a imagethat you should be.
You know, if you, if you pullup to a million dollar listing
that you're trying to lock inand you're in a beat up old car,
that person that looks at youis like when you compare
yourself to other people,because we're, we're, we're

(58:24):
doing fine, but we're not.
There's levels, man, like thereis so many levels and if you
look up and you're comparingyourself to that next level,
it'll.
It'll murder you.
You'll just be, you'll bedemotivated because you're like,
well, why don't I have that?
And like, I said this to you amillion times like, dude, I've
been doing this shit for 10years.
You came in, you just, youliterally just quit your job and
did this, started doing thisfull time five months ago.

(58:45):
So, like, you can't compareyourself to anybody else.
You just have to like, stay ontrack, grind and and make shit
happen yeah, I mean, justin'sbeen killing it in sales.

Speaker 3 (58:56):
He's was a car salesman for years and you know,
I just got out of the air forcein april and like I compare
myself to him sometimes, likewhy am I not that type of savage
that just you know is on thephone being being ruthless?

Speaker 1 (59:09):
yeah justin has been a blessing to us because he's
has so many skills with sales.
Not only are you a savage, butlike just knowing how to talk to
people from like being in carsales, which is probably one of
the toughest industries to sellstuff in, and coming in and like
I mean the first month that hewas with us probably made 50, 40

(59:34):
, 50 000 in profit margins likewhat are you?

Speaker 3 (59:37):
you're on your second transaction sold right um,
after only getting your realestate license a couple months
ago.

Speaker 4 (59:42):
Yeah, he had a license for like three, four
months.
Had a buy side, had a listing.

Speaker 1 (59:47):
Yeah, the first month he gets his license has a
listing, has a buy sidewholesaled a couple properties.
We're waiting on a wholesalefee of 15 grand.
That was like from the firstweek you were working with us.

Speaker 4 (59:59):
It was a deal we couldn't like, like that was a
dog of a deal.
Yeah, we can't get this done.

Speaker 1 (01:00:05):
I was like give it to me.

Speaker 4 (01:00:06):
I got it.
Yeah, that, that is true.

Speaker 1 (01:00:08):
All right, well, we're gonna wrap it up.
We'll be, uh, we'll be backwith some more content.
I'm gonna post some stuff fromthe other activities and stuff,
but we'll, uh, we'll, wrap thisthing up here and till next time
, guys back in america.
