Speaker 1 (00:04):
Welcome to Money Making Conversations. It's to show that she
has the secrets of success experience firsthand by marketing and
Brandon expert Rashaan McDonald. I will know he's giving me
advice on many occasions. In occasion didn't notice, I'm not broke.
You know, he'll be interviewing celebrity CEO, entrepreneurs and industry
decision makers. It's what he likes to do, it's what
he likes to share. Now it's time to hear from
(00:25):
my man, Rashan McDonald. Money Making Conversations. Here we go.
Welcome to money Making Conversation. I am your host, Rashaan McDonald.
It is important to understand that everybody travels a different
path to success. That's because your brand is different. The
challenges you're facing your life will be different. So stop
reading other people's success stories and really start writing your own. Now.
(00:45):
You can be motivated by their success because their stories
can offer direction and also give an opportunity to see
how they were successful at what they did. But it's
about what you're trying to do, what you're like, how
you plan it out, and what commit commitments that you
make to your efforts. That's why I bring guests on
my show, just like my next guest, who is Tommy Duncan.
He started his first healthcare company at twenty six years
(01:07):
of age, then he sold it. Then he started Trusted
health Plan, a Medicaid managed care company that ensued fifty
thousand people between DC and Detroit. Then he sold that
in January of the Blue Cross Blue Shield. A week later,
he started jet Doc. Jet Dot is a telehealth platform
provided an immediate virtual urgent care visits plus access to
(01:29):
the prescriptions and pharmass across the country for either twenty
dollars per visit or ten dollars per month. Please working
the money making conversation. He's ever selling and he's ever moving,
my man, Tommy Duncan. Hey Tommy, Well one time and
first of all at a young age, let's let's talk
about your your college background. Is that college in your
(01:51):
past history? Or you a guy who just has a
strong entrepreneur spirit. No, when I went to Okay famu
HP you see, you know I knew that, but I
want you to have a little bit more edge if
you're having man, because you know you say fair mute,
you got a munch of bass? Where you going all
the way, okay, because you kind of got underrated if
(02:15):
HBCUs get tacond place to Howard, right, but fam is
the true We're gonna tell you something. You made me
a lot of successful attorneys, right, doctors, right, Howard right
in these other HBCUs, which I'm a big supporter of
all of them. Right. But when you find entrepreneurs that's
(02:36):
successful in business saying news where they come from, well,
I can't argue with that, you know. I think that
when you look at what has happened this year with
their COVID and eighteen somehow people have discovered I see people,
the general market, the general public, the donors have found HBCUs.
Why do you think it's popped out like this? Why
(02:58):
do you think they recognition and for HBCUs being a
critically acclaimed academic institution for African Americans or people of color.
You know, I'll be open with you man. You know,
in my travels and business, um, a lot of people
go to majority schools and define success. But in my experience,
some of the most successful people with HBCUs. That's just
(03:23):
I'm talking about those that are high up in corporate
America that I come in contact with with those entrepreneurs
they went to hbc U. Now, I talked a lot
about fam because that's where I wear, whether we Howard Morehouse, Hampden,
I mean, you name them. A lot of successful people
come out of HBCUs. And I think a lot of
(03:45):
it is because I just think there's a competitiveness amongst
our people that in the HBCU environment just creates very successful, driven,
gritty entrepreneur words and business people. And I think it
also help when you look at the fact that Kama Harris,
you know uh has been the Vice president elect, is
(04:09):
from HBCU Hollywood. I come from Houston, Texas. I'm surrounded
by HBCU schools, you know, Prey View, n M Texas,
Southern Grammar and Southern you know, going down to Line Dillard,
go down, go up to Jackson. State is twelve HBCUs
in the state of Alabama, which has the most hbc
used in North Carolina. I think that's the second most
at ten, but they're they're based in the southeast part
(04:31):
of the country. What what invited you to come to
an HBCU. What what attracted you, I should say, to
go to an HBCU. So I went to a majority
of white high school. And I kept trying to persuade
my mother and let me go to the school of
the city which where all my friends with and my girlfriends.
But my mother will let me do it. So Famu,
(04:55):
which is a year before I graduated high school, had
one the Prince Review top ten business schools in the country,
and the president at the time was coming to the
Midwestern cities Detroit, Chicago and really marketing. Family was a
place for us for students to go to college. I
(05:16):
found out about it, which to visit for homecoming. You
know how that goes. You know, I went for homecoming once.
I didn't want to go back home. Now homecoming, now
home homecoming and a black school is home coming. Okay,
come on, man, I took a great high took great
hume bus tell us tell us about tell us about
(05:42):
a familyuse his first of all, family was always been
known for marching. Bay family has always been known for
a successful football program. Okay, And now to my understanding,
they're going to the Squack. They transferring their football program
to the Squack, which is even more incredible. Go you
got Dion Sanders on there in the squads right with
Jackson State so I look at the squad has becoming
(06:04):
like an s a C version of hbc for the HBCU,
a powerhouse where the top athletes are gonna come and
it's gonna put them on the map. So that's why
that's what family is about to get into. But from
but way I hear you talk from junk Ro Sean,
it's about the academics. It's about that's what attracted to
you too. I went to homecoming. But but the top
(06:24):
business school in N seven be recognized that it's really
what really caught your eye, caught the eye of your mom.
It's right. It was the School of the Business and Industry,
which has been acclaimed is being one of the best
business schools UH in the country. Agnostic to HBCU or otherwise.
(06:45):
Dean Marbly created the program and it just so happens
that the year she retired as yard graduating two hours
and three right. Um, A lot of success of people
came out of that program and still do. It's the
school of an industry. The program was so strong that
every week we would have a CEO from a fortre
(07:06):
five other company come and spend a four day with
and I think that experience and this is programming called
professional development, which is all around the soft skills of leadership,
confidence in entrepreneurship, because you can be an entrepreneur in
fpor America right right. You don't have to own your
(07:26):
businesses and entrepreneur, but all of those tenants and skill
sets we learned through that program and and I think
more than anything, it gave us confidence to be leaders
and to speak our mind and to uh and have
confidence in the growing something. The time, you said, because
I always tell us to people always tell to this
(07:47):
about being entrepreneurs, I said, I said, for the our week,
JAW really is the best training to be an entrepreneur
because you can't accomplish the responsibilities of a fort the
our week job, arriving to work on time, meeting your deadlines,
being able to be accountable for the responsibility that given
to you, and also walk working outside of that far
the out window, then you won't be an entrepreneur. That's
(08:08):
basically what you're saying when you said, hey, you could
be an entrepreneur working a farda are with JAW because
the same responsibilities are built there. If you wanted to
come an entrepreneur, and I am, I defining that correctly.
That's exactly right, exactly right. You know, it's funny. I
showed out spirit young I was actually had FAM. I
started like a little Friday sandwich shop, and at one
(08:29):
point I was in the UH in the mall and
I got into the Air Force. I was twenty two
years old. I had a little sandwich shop for UM.
So that's not easy, Tommy, That's not easy. Now, No,
it's not easy. It's not easy at all. But I
did that. And if I said, this entrepreneurial kind of spirit,
(08:49):
if you want to call it that, and my parents
were entrepreneurs, so I had that in my in my blood.
But one of the best de cities I made as
I started a small healthcare come to that, I sold
one that you referenced earlier, starting twenty seven. But the
company I sold to decided to buy my company for
stock options and theirs, and so essentially became a job
(09:13):
offer with Equity Associate And that was my training ground.
And when I went to work for them, was a
corporate corporate company end up on the New York Stock
Exchange UM called the Creative Hells out of Chicago. I
learned how to operate at the highest level of skill
set in corporate America at that moment in time. And
(09:35):
it was from that training that I took that to
my most latest company that I just sold this blue
across from shield on how to operate at the highest
mountany you know what meant, how to be analytical, how
to in the in the world of big data, how
to identified the data mensage that actually move the needle,
and then how to create an operation a rigger around
it to make sure we continue to improve our numbers
(09:58):
across the board. And show when I sold my last
company of trusted in our industry, the average medicaid manisterry
company did want from set profit mind. I was doing
temperac profit mind, smoking right, But I was smoking because
of the skills I learned work from Corporate America. So
as you talk about the soft skills are showing up
(10:19):
at words, coming to early, staying laid and all that
kind of stuff critically important, but then learning how to
operate at the highest level. Because we operate, you have
higher performance and you should have higher profitability, and that's
how you create value. And that's really what you're saying
right now. You know, it's just the thing that I'm
talking to you, Tommy, is like, first of all, where
(10:40):
did this start? Because, like you said, it's in your
DNA because you're both of your parents with entrepreneur But
when did it? When did that DNA get into your system?
You know what I'm saying, When you went, Wow, I
can be I can be a self made man. I
can go out there and do what they do. Is
it's important because they were like mentors to you. They
were parents, but they also were like mentors to you
as well. Correct, Yeah, I think, um, I think you
(11:02):
aspired to what you're exposed to. And in my household
and my parents friends, there was a lot of entrepreneurship.
So I always expected to old on my own business.
A matter of fact, when I was in I'm like
the average entrepreneur. Right when I was in middle school,
I had a psychic hot line. This is remember back
when when you were actually have magazines and you have
(11:24):
all the little adds in the back of right, like
remember Cleo called me, Now I had one. I was
in eighth grade, you know, and so I had that.
I went to family, I had ice cream truck because
to my surprise, you go to Florida and there weren't
many ice cream trucks, right right, So I had an
ice cream truck, and so I thought that kind of thing,
(11:44):
So hold hold on, hold on, hold on the time
the ice cream truck. You know that that's the truck
to come into neighborhood. You know, stops traffic with kids? Now, yes,
And I talked about how you by you you came
about getting the ice cream truck, and what was the
whole concept been making money? Because like, since all my
profit margin with you, because I understand that's what happened.
So I come to Florida and ice cream trucks, which
(12:07):
when you're from Detroit and it snows nine months out
of the year, you can't understand how place it's always
hot doesn't have ice cream trucks. So but I was
a freshman in college, so I converted. I had a truck.
I converted into an ice cream truck, and I would
play masterpieces ice cream. Man. It's a little more a
little a little more adult ice cream truck than the
(12:31):
average one for kids, right right, right. But then I
learned you gotta have you know that hot. I used
to keep the cold and myself was melting and become
a business of the business, right, So how did we
get to healthcare? So we were ice cream the little
little little, a little sandwich shop in the airport stand
for the healthcare. What shifted you to that? That that
(12:54):
that uh, that angle of business because my parents were
in healthcare and all those other businesses are reasonable, right,
So they were disasters. But I grew up in healthcare
and I just said conference, I don't know, you know,
I came home to help us. So I graduated from
family two thousand three with my NBA, and I thought
(13:16):
I was gonna come home and take my family's business
to the next level. And instead I came home and
literally everything was on fire. Once in a year, everything
went in the bankruptcy, so, you know, the business went
out of business, the home I grew up in with
the foreclosure, you know, everything was repossessed. It was like
a disaster of of a story. Um, which I think
(13:40):
is hard for most black entrepreneurs and people is we're
always starting over. And I think we're starting over because
there's a lack of true business guidance adventorship. Because even
my parents and that success of business through the nineties
and lost everything by the early two thousand's but because
I grew up in espreneurshia, you know, and everything went
(14:02):
under I thought at a confect was starting my own company,
you kind of you know, rebuild the family. Uh business.
It didn't go exactly like that, but it ended up
getting there through its own path. Win. Now did you
did your parents participate? And uh? And the structuring that business,
on the boarding your business? How are they how are
(14:23):
they tied the end of your business dealings today? You know?
This is interesting man. So my mother and stepfather were
together through the ninetness and uh, he was always an
entrepreneur who got my mother an entrepreneurship. She was a
massive public health so she just wanted to give people
access to healthcare, but didn't really have a business experience.
So that relationship married them too together because he didn't
(14:45):
finish high school, you know, or certainly didn't go to college,
but he had the espreneurial get up and go. My
mother's um education and academic and social was a person.
Was a good marriage. Um. But when they what happened
two thousand and four, so you have to got out
(15:06):
of school and everything completely went into the ground. I
was in the kitchen of the house of winter foreclosure,
and I was getting my mother and stepfather and I said,
I'm gonna pull us through this, and my stepfather kind
of went his own direction. You know, I think you
got real high in the kitchen. He decided to uh
to leave, kind of advocated the throne if you will. Uh.
(15:28):
So my love and I and I started mining, and
she helped me out in this business. I just sold
that DC. She was around to help me do it.
So she's always been my secret weather. Right, It's finally here,

dot ai, right, you know, it's really because we're all
(17:37):
talking about support because somebody has to support you and
the somebody has to be there because you know, you
can't be the smartest person in the room. We know that,
but you also have to have somebody the smarter than
you that you can trust and also have been there,
done that type personality and somebody that you know can
you know, I guess you can respond to this, Tommy,
because being a leader. The worst part about being a
(17:58):
leader you can't show weakness, and then you have to
pick and choose who you show weakness too, because your
weakness to the to the wrong people, then they could
take it as a sign of failure or a sign
of doubt or lack of confidence. So what was that
for you as a leader? A guy who's building companies
selling companies in a very white world. Health health care
is white. Let's teach real about it, but it also
(18:20):
impacts the minority community struggling. We're gonna get to Jet
docuum minute, but talk about that support system of being
a leader and being able to you know, build your brand,
but also being able to have a place to relax,
to take a deep breath, a place to pause. Yeah,
you know, I agree with what you're saying. I think, Uh,
(18:42):
when you're on entrenarial side of business, you quickly learned
the most important thing you got to do is make payroll. Yes,
and so there's always the pressures of making payroll. They
come around seem like, uh, you know, too quickly. But
you can never show that you're sweating to make payroll
(19:03):
because it's lose that confidence in the people. Then it's
like the Titanic. You know, you're not gonna have folks
fully committed because they don't be looking for something that's
more stable. Yes. Um, but that aside, I think you
have to fake it till you make it, you know.
I think you just gotta keep pushing and keep showing face,
(19:23):
keep having that that faith that comes from within to
keep going and had a confidences you're gonna make it
no matter what. You just get up every day and
go forward. Well, when you see like this, because man,
I'm in I'm in my third healthcare company, my tenth
business I've had a thousand, and I've had two successful
companies in healthcare. One I created, you know, sold it.
(19:44):
The company I sold to in publican me a million
three when I was thirty years old. Then I started
this one from scratch, out of nothing, and I just
sold it for nine figures UM. Six and a half
years later, and I'm in another company, jet Dot, which
is telehealth. You see a doctor itself, uh twenty bucks
for urgent care business virtually and um, you know you
(20:06):
have access to pharmacies all across the country, eight of
you medications every c hes W, Rice, War Martin, David.
And I'm struggling right now. It's my third one, and
I thought it's gonna be easy. But I'm back at it,
back in the next with every day questioning why am
I tooling this? I don't have to do it, right,
I got a team depending on me. So you know,
(20:26):
I think, as you have it in you and if
you really have any and then you'll be doing it.
If you really don't, then later you gonna give up
the sticks. Right. But you know the thing about it,
when one thinks about telling HEMP, you know which is
who was who's being able to talk to a doctor
because we didn't think about that. Prod to COVID ninteen.
COVID nineteen has brought that to Okay, this is the
way to go see your doctor. Now. I know at
(20:48):
the end of the year I had that option. Do
you want to talk to your dr Villa zoom or
do you want to come in? That's what I want
to come in. You know, I would not have said
that in May. Now now December, I said, I want
to come in a lot more comfortable with the environment
of how to take care of yourself going out in
public in this new COVID world that we live in now,
tell health is and the jet doctor explained everybody as
(21:09):
a telehealth platform provided an immediate virtual urgent care visits
plus access to up the prescriptions and pharmacists across the country.
Like you said, Walgreens cvs for either twenty dollars pervision
or ten dollars pervision. Now in the minority community, that
twenty and that team, my man is is priceless. It's
(21:31):
like they said, you know, how did that come about?
And who or what celebrities involved? And are you using
celebrities or brands to get your product recognition out there? Yeah?
So this time last year, I was at the closing
stages of selling Trusted to the Buddy. Here. Before that,
(21:54):
I wrote a book on health care policy and three
things that could be done to change the trajectory of
across the healthcare system for this country going forward. And
I met with the number one regulator for health care
in this country and sharing with him my book and
the three policies, and he told me that it would
take an active legislation to implement the most important because
(22:16):
it was enacted into the Affordable Care Act, so that
would be impossible or highly improbable. And so but through
the research writing a book and the fact that as
a company we would doing two hundred million dollars in revenue,
I paid over one million claims um that the biggest
(22:38):
cause of the rising cost of health care and the
the bad statistics of the quality of health care is
because of lack of convenient access to health care. Correct,
And that's up and down the range of economic situ
(23:00):
was shoot, so somebody who's lower income on Medicaid all
the way up to having concierge medicine for commercial insurance.
People wait too late to get diagnosed and to do
something about their issue. Because it's inconvenient to go, you're
going to emerge the room. No one's suppes to merge room.
You gotta to get a doctor. Woman takes two three
(23:21):
weeks um. The health consistent is just a pain in
the backside. But through telehealth creates it creates a lot
more convenient access point. So I decided, Okay, I'm gonna
make it super convenient, but then to get people to
do it, have to make it affordable. So I'm gonna
do it as cheap as possible. So the average tell
(23:42):
health visit now is eighty bucks, to visit ours is
twenty bucks. And visitors you want to do a monthly
you can pay ten bucks a month for your entire
family in your household have access to telehealth. Those are
doctor visitess twenty four seven and the pharmacy benefits included
when you get a trip shout to cost of medication.
That's lessens the ten bucks a month. So my vision
(24:02):
is making create immense access because it makes it easier
through using your cell phone you see doctor one twos,
and then to make it super affordable by making it,
you know, unless than ten bucks a month or twenty
bucks a visit and When I started to do this,
it's a pre COVID, and at that moment time the
projection was at two thousand twenty would have eight hundred
(24:23):
thousand telehealth visits unless than four percent of people knew
what it was. A month later, COVID hit in March,
and now it's the highest thing in healthcare technology and
instead of eight hundred thousand tell health visits in two
thousand twenty, there have been over one billion in two
(24:44):
thousand two. So the space just gotten from when I
started it was a white space needing, no one's doing it.
I can kind of just you know, pink on the
canvas to being super competitive and me having to figure
out and this incredibly competitive market, now how do I
stand out? How do I get eyeballs and attention to something?
(25:04):
And the celebrity um factor came to play. We launched
in Florida, and on the celebrity side, particularly from our community,
Rick Ross stands out of someone who's from Miami represents
Florida in a major way, so reached out to his camp.
He researched me to figure out who's behind it um
(25:25):
research Telehealth, and decided he actually want to be apartment
as a real partner. And so he and I became
partners about six weeks ago and he's been a wonderful
partner ever since. So Rick Ross is involved. We also
last week brought aboard Dr Jackie from Mary to Medicine,
(25:46):
which is a show on Bravo Positions. I'm a mantic,
So she's um now on the team and jet Dot
and we're just putting together a momentum to get the
word out. Now here's a great thing. The doctor visits
that you're sending there twenty dollars and ten dollars or
that's tied to the pharmacists twenty bucks um per visit
(26:08):
or if you pay ten bucks a month. Okay, cool now,
because I'm just I recently went to Emory and I
have Humana, and my doctor visit was like forty dollars
and and so I'm just letting everybody know an example
of and believe me, I don't play ten dollars per
month for humanity. Okay, that's gonna be real about that, okay.
And so so so I'm playing at forty dollars on
(26:30):
top of what I pay Humana. All right, So with
the rate that I'm paying, I should be getting it
for free and so and so you're saying ten dollars
per month for twenty dollars per visit that right, it's
a super different. My closest statement to you and Jet
Doc and Tommy, how can Rushan McDonald my platform money
making conversations? I have named two thousand subscribers to my
(26:52):
fan club list, I got all roughly a million social
media followers. You know, how could I how would you
come to me? I'm not trying to be a partner
in your brand. I developed this platform to be able
to take entrepreneurs like you and make you you're the stars.
And but also hear your platform you say, hey, man,
could you post this from me? Can you post this
from me? Because I want to be an asset to you,
because that's why I believe that black entrepreneurship is the
(27:15):
key to this country going to the next level. And
we also need to understand that we have value and
sometimes we are under value because they want to show
the negative time side of being an African American mail
or email and so that's why promote HBCUs the way
I promote HBCUs. So how can with jet Document a
strong teller help is a very competitive field. It wasn't
competitive COVID hit Now everybody wants to use it. So
(27:38):
now how do you slice that line? How can money
making conversation help you? Well, what I want to do
is we'll offer we'll create a promo code for money
making Conversations, UM, where everyone who puts your promo code,
they'll get their first vision for free. Okay, wait I
say this, We didn't about that. How would just be
(28:00):
to I'm not I'm not trying to look for a
discount because you're trying to build a brain. I'm just
know I appreciate that rushing. I'm also saying I want
people to try it right, you know. And and the
thing for me is, um, just didn't go with you
my last exit we did well? Yes, and and so
(28:20):
I'm not in a rush to make money. I am
self financing, which you know get uncomfortable with times. But
I'm not in the rush. What I wanna do is
get our people in the healthcare faster. And the way
to do it is make it super convenient and super affordable,
so that just when people try and I don't care
what it costs, you know, Um, I like people just
(28:43):
trying to get used to it because like my cheap
passed away last year. Last year is a real situation.
I got man, give you a thousand of these, but
this one you'll you know, you have empathy for it.
So very sophisticated woman an attorney for four of years.
Um uh, you know, ran every day five miles a day.
(29:08):
You just catch her running around upon the park in Detroit.
Super successful, stylish fashionist. Uh, the best conversations, you know, wine,
kind of sword. This is an amazing woman. And so
she felt a pain in her back and she talks
from running, so she ordered for a few weeks. Then
after a few weeks, she decided maybe she just needed
(29:30):
a massage, you know, So she got a massage, and
then a few weeks later he still didn't go away.
So she finally caught her doctor and then her doctor said,
maybe just taking rest, don't run, or do you know
all your your robots take off. A couple of weeks,
she did that and the pain was still there. So
she finally decided to go to the emergency room and
come to find out, after emaging was done, she was
(29:51):
like a stage four and then she died five months later,
and it was it was blessed to live five months.
So when things have been different and she had went
to doctor the first time, probably now when she went
to the doctor to stead of just doing them. Besides,
if she could just do it quick, tell health visits
to talk to a doctor probably and the doctor may
(30:13):
have referred her to go see go to burnish room.
We'll go get some imaging done. It would have been
more convenient to then. You know, you gotta go way
too ease, get in front of the doctor, going the
way to non protect. You know, all the inconvenience of
it versus is making it easy, and so it literally
can save lives. Well, I will tell you this, Tommy.
(30:34):
I'm a cancer survivor, Thyrod cancer survivor, and I survived
it by going to a doctor and uh and getting
the blood test and so I know what what you're
saying is truth, you know. And it was funny because
my the doctor I do my annual visit with, he
missed it. And in December, my dentists missed it because
Thyrod's up here and so and so my blood the
(30:58):
person I went to through my blood dam she said,
can I just touch around your your thrown area? And
she said could I do a bopsy, And that's how
if I did. If she didn't do that, I would
have went another year. And so no telling what that year,
that's what you're saying right there. That year, I might
not be on the phone right I might not be
doing this interview right now because cancer would have been
(31:21):
ravaging my system for an additional ten months. And I
may have, like you said, uh, my neck is sore,
maybe from lifting weights or maybe I've just slept with
a crook in my neck. That's why it's important to
get these uh, these these opportunities. That's why I wanted
to get you on the show to talk about jet Doc.
I know that black people have cell phones, and black
(31:42):
people need to understand the value of cell phones is
not just making phone calls, taking pictures and texting, is
financial literacy comes out of their phone. And now healthcare
can come out of the phone by the form of
the dot. And we need to understand that. And so my, my, my,
my commitment to you and jet Doc is that I
want to help moted on my social media. I want
to feat you you on my motivational mondays, talk about
(32:04):
what you're doing as a brand and your commitment to
lower healthcare and twenty dollars per visit ten dollars per
month do jet doc and it's all about you, my man.
You know HBCU grad. I'm proud to bring on this
show and talk to and you commitment to just change
in lives. Like I said, this is self financially self
sponsor financially by you. But we don't turn that around house,
so it could all be good entrepreneurship, healthcare industry, jet doc.
(32:28):
Thank you for coming on the show. Comment Thank you brother,
thanks for having me and look forward being on your
show against sometime. Oh you well, you believe me right.
One thing about me, man, I wanted to bring on
the show. I know it's a family show we're putting together,
but it's just the first of the year and one
time I know, think about the first of the year.
People tend to listen about their health. They tend to
listen about their money because they're put in those resolutions.
(32:50):
So I want to use this as an inspiration to
say jet doc. Jet doc is a form of a
resolution for your health care. As a reason, form of
resolution for your health care that you should use and
sign up for a register that's my mentality because I'm
a marketer and so so oh they're listening different than January.
Then they listen to June. Okay, I know you know
(33:11):
what I'm saying. Good asking any lifetime fitness that all right?
And so so I know that. Then having you on
the show, getting this air and then we're getting together,
putting some stuff on my social media, putting some stuff
in my newsletter. Uh, having you back on the show
a couple of times a year, different periods, just to
let everybody know the progress of Jet dot let is
still out there. Let's let's build that that let that
little that little crowd of field. Let's start. Let's start
(33:34):
