Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Jimmy Rex Show.
And today in the podcast, I'm sitting with one of
my close buddies, mister Dallas hopeful dude. He is the
founder of Happy Roofing and some of them just really
impressed with I love talking to people. Dallas's age, he's
a young buck and just crushing it in life. Several
of my friends worked for him. He has his own
podcast as well, just doing cool things. He was also

(00:24):
a member of Weird the Day, so I wanted to
jam with him a little bit. And he's also just
one of the funnest dudes I've met. He's just mister
up for adventure kind of guy. And so today's podcast
is brought to you by Bucked Up Supplements. I'm just
gonna be honest here, having at least two of these
every single day now for been months now, and I
guess twenty five grams of protein only one hundred calories.

(00:44):
This is a cheat code to help your diet getting bigger, stronger, faster,
all the things. So if you have not tried them yet,
go check them out anywhere. Bucked Up Supplements are soul Dude.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
Welcome to the podcast. Thank you stuck to be here man.
Thanks for cutting off the time for me, of course.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
Dude. So dude, your generation, how old are you?

Speaker 2 (01:11):
Twenty nine?

Speaker 1 (01:11):
Just you're in twenty nine, Yeah, you're kind of It's interesting.
I'm going to make a video about this pretty soon.
But I feel like your generation has really been screwed
by the leaders and politicians of America the last ten
fifteen years, and it's really harder than ever to get ahead.
It is like, I hate to say that, and I'm
not a guy that ever plays victim. I don't ever
want people to make themselves victims. But we have to

(01:33):
face the reality that like the average age of a
first time home buyer used to be thirty just like
when I was buying a home, now it's thirty eight.
Think about that as a first time home buyer. And
the median age of a person buying a house right
now is fifty eight years old. It used to be
like thirty five in Yeah, that's insane, it's crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
And so what they've done is they basically.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
These politicians and leaders of our country have sold out
the youth. All the money's flown to the top. That's
what COVID was. That was all these other things, And
so I'm always impressed and admire people like yourself because
when I was your age, when I was twenty nine,
I'd already bought and sold fifteen twenty homes, But all
I had to do was save up ten twelve grand
and I could buy a home. And I knew for

(02:15):
the most part it would cash flow if I could
just buy it, I can get a renter in there
to pay for the mortgage. Yeah, nowadays those don't exist.
And so you guys, you know, you're just playing a
game that's a little bit harder to win, and so yeah,
props to you, bro.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Yeah, thanks. Man. It's interesting you say that it's the
hardest it's ever been, because I definitely think, like, psychologically,
I would say that's one hundred percent true. But I'm
also like, man, we have so many tools and resources
today that I feel like people just don't typically use
or take advantage of. Where It's like, in a lot
of ways, you have stuff that makes it easier. You know,

(02:48):
you have social media, and just like even having a
phone and being able to connect with people and make
calls and do stuff, you know, using technology, using social
media on the internet, and now GPT and AI being
able to structure your day or learn information quicker. It's like,
I feel like, I feel like our generation, my generation,

(03:11):
isn't utilizing tools enough and they're they're psychologically beat down.
Like whenever I tell people what they can accomplish and
what you can do, and they're like, oh, it's so
hard to buy a house away, It's really not that hard,
Like I have two. It's not that crazy, you know
what I mean. But it's like it hasn't. I feel
like people my age, I see them, they get so

(03:32):
stuck in their heads and they're like, I have all
this stuff with working against me. Da da da da da,
when it's like, dude, just put one foot in front
of the other, look around for what you have that's
better than ever before, and identify an opportunity and go
for it.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
Yeah, you guys, you definitely have more. And I'm glad
you kind of correct me on that a little bit.
What I was referring to is all wealth creation, Like
it's harder than ever to all the asset classes are
at their peak right, whether it be bitcoin or the
stock market, good or real estate. So that's a little
bit tricky. It's like where do I put my money.
It's why you see a lot of kids your age
are into gambling or they're buying meme coins because they's

(04:07):
essentially they're just trying to get lucky. They're trying to
get lucky, and you know, it's it's not fun to
play the long game, and it is. Look, there a
number of people. I saw this other stat and then
I want to come back to your point that was
I don't know if you've seen this graph, but I
think it was a nineteen eighty fifty five percent of
thirty year olds were married with a house. And now
that number is like, it's like twelve percent. It's a

(04:29):
crazy number. So you know, those two things have really
dropped off. And I think that's what I'm referring to
is like where do you put your money? Where do
you how do you find you know, like real estate
and things like that. But what this generation is, what
your generation does have is you have access to everything
and everybody. I mean you can literally get access to
anyone in the world. You can tweet at them, you

(04:51):
can message them a lot of times, I'll respawn, you
can get elon mushcal like to tweet that you know
that I was part of the other day and stuff.
It's just like you never know who was going to
respond to your stuff. It's also the information age. When
I was your age, I remember I went to Barnes
and Noble and I was obsessed with self development. I
bought I remember going in there one day. This is funny, dude,
I swear of got. I went into Barnes and Noble

(05:13):
and I went to buy a new audio CD because
I had listened all the ones that I had already. Dude,
I couldn't find a new one. They had like fiction books,
but I had bought all the nonfiction I was I'd
already listened to all of them. I mean I literally
could not find one I didn't already have. I ended
up buying some stupid like I think it wasn't stupid,
but it was like Atlas shrug. But it was like
sixty five hours. I'm like, I'm not listening to this,

(05:33):
and so I ended up never But the point is,
like information, you're right, and even like using you know,
it's never been easier to build a business. All that
stuff is that the call me your hand. Literally the
first time I had to start a business. You'll appreciate this.
I was twenty one, I was starting my meat business.
All I knew is I needed to set up some
legal documents. So I called my old baseball coach when

(05:55):
I was like thirteen years old. Dude, I knew he
was a lawyer, and I went and got bless him.
What a good man, Rich Hutchison. And I sit on
his front porch and he's walking me through these documents
as a friend of how I set up a business, dude,
And that's how I learned how to set up my
first business.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Like, that's how That's what I had to do.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
But that's resourceful to give you an idea though, of
how difficult it was, you know, to do those things.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
Whereas today you're right.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
And I mean even when I started my podcast, I mean, dude,
I started my podcast ten years ago, nobody knew how
to do podcasting. I had to teach. Somebody had to
learn the whole thing. Nowadays, I mean, I have a studio.
I just sold my Rookery studio, but we had sixteen
seventeen people running their podcast out of there. You literally
come in, you sit down, they hit everything, and then
you leave, right and it's cheap. It's cheaper than it

(06:40):
would be to try to do it yourself. And so
there's a lot of things that way that are a
lot easier as well.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
Oh yeah, I think I think it's a lot harder.
Like before, it used to be like, Okay, everyone can
kind of do the same strategy, and everybody can kind
of have a basic strategy that'll do pretty good. You
can buy your houses, you can do whatever. There. Now
it's like, if you do good and you have some
of the better strategies, you get bitcoin, or you're on

(07:06):
the social media. You're on one of the front of
these waves where you've identified something and taken advantage of it,
gone deep, done the work, studied, learned, and actually use it.
Then you can get way ahead. But it's like that
you're having to have more decisions. That used to be
like go to college, get rent away.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
Yeah, there wasn't that many paths, right, It's like do
I put my money in the stock market or do
I buy real estate? And that was kind of It's like.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
There's so many different programs and things and yeah, investments
and stuff, and so in the traditional stuff, it's I mean,
it makes sense. It's repeating the same strategy over and
over and over and over and over again. For generations.
It's gonna change and there's going to be different.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
Another thing to do makes it a lot easier for
your generation today is the ability to network. So when
I turn twenty one, you know, and I started networking, bro,
I'm telling you, I'd go to five or six events
a week. I'd go to breakfast, I'd go to lunch events,
I'd go to networking groups. I'd go to parties at night,
I'd go to poker games. I was just doing anything
I could. And after fifteen years of networking, I knew

(08:09):
enough people to become the number one realtory in Utah
because I had enough people in my database at that
point that I was marketing to. Nowadays, I mean, if
you make a good post on social media, you reached
thirty thousand people immediately, right Like, I mean hundred thousand millions.
You know, I made a post last June that has
one hundred and fifty million views. Now, yeah, that's freak,
that's wild.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
Yeah, that's insane.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
It's a lot of people. So it gets every month,
it keeps going viral. Again, it's the one with the
the guy that shot Osama Bin Lauden that talks about
how he was only going to war is kind of
bullshit and all that and stuff. But the point is is,
like you have access to tools that are mind blowing.
I remember I used to market bro I marketed once.
I rented the space that you like, have your face

(08:54):
come up before the movie starts at the theater.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
Oh, really, you're doing an ad space before the movie.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
Nice, This is like blowing your mind.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
You're like, cool, No, it's terrible.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
It's like they did this survey or this like research
came out once years later it was like, it is
the worst form of marketing per dollar you could spend.
I here's how bad it was for me. Like, this
is the kind of shit I was trying to come
up with. But I was just a hustler and I
didn't There wasn't these tools. I remember one time, there's
this thing called talking house and you basically you put

(09:25):
a sign in front of the house you're selling, and
it has a radio station. You have this thing inside
your house and when people drive by the house, if
they turn the radio station to that station, they can
hear information about Really.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
Oh, now you just follow your phone and look at it.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
That's what I was doing. Bro, I don't think I'm old,
and then I hear my own stories and I feel
like I'm pretty old now see you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
Like it's like I hear stuff like that and I'm
just like, oh man, compared to now, like fifteen years
like literally, you know, two years ago when I when
I joined like Group four, I was like, I just
want to have like a dialed net work in Utah
and just like no bunch of people and it's like boom,
a plug and play like option is available for me

(10:07):
versus like having to go out and coordinate it.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
You hear what I had to do to network?

Speaker 2 (10:12):
I mean you literally sign up for the program.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
I mean you legitimately. How many guys have you met
that you're legitimately friends with? Now? Two years later, I.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
Would say, like legitimate. I wouldn't say that I'm as
social as a lot of a lot of people, but
I would say there's a good six guys that I'm like,
I know for a fact where we are like boys
for life, Like I'll see you on a regular bab
I'll see everyone and I'm with everyone, like there's really
nobody that had an issue with but there's definitely like

(10:38):
my handful who are like my boys, you know.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
What I mean, like that crazy, like what's the value
of a best friend? You've got six dudes now that
you'll do life with. Oh no, I mean that's that's
the beauty. And by the way, you don't have space
in your life for fifty new guys anyway, And so
the beauty of the program is you sign up, there's
thirty guys, forty guys, fifty guys in your group, and
you end up finding the four or five six that
you do with.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
Yeah, yeah, no, it's it's it's been, it's been incredible,
I would say, you know, that's that's definitely a massive
thing that is more of a modern day amenity is
having something, you know, structure around stuff like that, and
it's stuff like that, like I'm trying to get the
word out through my friends who are you know, maybe
have are a little discouraged about where the world's at

(11:22):
and where you know, everything's at. But it's just like
there's nothing we can really do about those bigger pictured things.
It's like, just identify those things that you have in
your life that that you can utilize. And I'll say
the gratitude lists has helped me a lot with that
because it's helped me like look for the positive things
and not like you're not there's no like, there's no

(11:45):
list to try and write out your worries, so you're
not focusing on trying to count those things or count
what's going against you, you know what I mean. Just
like previous generations they had, they had stuff that was
just insane to think about.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
There when you start thinking about like going to Vietnam
or some of these wars and things they had to
go do, nuts no thanks, Yeah, like literally hanging out
in the jungle for years, years, sleeping in drafted like dirty,
gross floors and waters and shit. Like I'm telling you, dude,
Like you start seeing like what they had to go through.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
Yeah, not even just as living conditions, but like what
you're actually having to do and what people are trying
to do to you, like every day while you're there. Yeah,
sleep in some wet jungle waters, but get shot at
back and forth.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
Like you're literally Like I've been studying recently a lot
of the history of World War One and World War Two,
and people don't even know this, but after World War Two, dude,
after World War Two, over two million Germans were killed
by the Russians because they split Germany in different parts
each of the Allied victories and the Russians, dude, like

(12:50):
they were ruthless, the Bolsheviks and Lenin installing all these people.
You know, that's going back a little bit more. But
I mean they literally were killing millions of Germans after
the war like crazy, dude, there was people that you
start hearing the storts. They didn't release their last prisoner
until nineteen fifty five. We have no idea like the
level of it's never been more comfortable to live in

(13:13):
society than it is today. And it's just not it's
just never been so easy, it really has. Yeah, but
did you just got back Speaking of guys that you're
going to do life with, you just went got back
from Machu Picchu with one of the guys from the
group invited you, right, Yeah, how was that?

Speaker 2 (13:29):
And Wrigley, my freaking boy, it was awesome, man.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
You know it's someone that someone that got close with
throughout the group and ends up inviting me to go
on an eight day backpacking trip. It was a pretty
rough route, like not the normal route you know, for
Machu Pichu most speaking of the jungle.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
Yeah for real.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
But yeah, we so we did massive eight day hike.
It was I don't even know. It's hard to explain.
I just upload We made a thirty minute mini doc
of the of the trip I did. From my perspective,
I should have like watching it. I didn't even want
to upload it because I was like, I should have
got more of like a diverse viewpoint. But I haven't

(14:13):
really been brushed up on my videography stuff. So I'll
get myself a break.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
But I'll give you a prop stuck because like so
many people did like, oh, this isn't gonna mean to
get nobody's gonna watch this, but like, ultimately it's for
you anyway, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
Yeah, I love like I've watched it through a couple
of times and I'm just like, holy craw that trips.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
You'll have to make one forest in New Zealand, dude.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
Oh yeah, yeah we will. I have like a phenomenal
editor now, so I'm just like filming everything and then
he takes it all So I like that. But no,
it was sick. It was just like you know what,
between eight and I think our top day was like
seventeen miles. I rode in a car for like three
of those miles, so my island did like fourteen that day.

(14:53):
But yeah, it was just like no, no flat. Like
if they said it was flat, it was like still
up and down. They called the ink and flat, and
it's like they say it's flat, but it's not flat.
It's like still. But on the non flat days it's
like which they're pretty much all like that is this
all up and then straight down like you'll be you

(15:14):
wake up, you look across the canyon and you're like,
that's my camp and you got to go all the
way down to the river and then climb all the
way down.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
Oh my goodness. You did eight days in a row.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
Eight days yep. And so the final day we you know,
you're just you're just up and down through the anteast
down into the Amazon rainforest for the last two days,
so you're more it kind of mellows out the last
couple of days. Yeah, topped out over fifteen thousand feet.
That was the highest pass. We did another pass that

(15:42):
was over thirteen thousand, so like some pretty high elevation.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
The breathing zone.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
Yeah, yeah, you're in the thin freaking air. You can
feel it. You gotta like pace yourself, you know. But yeah,
just mobbing through the through the freaking forest for a week,
pull up into the little there's like a little town
outside of match Peachi bit a matchi piachu.

Speaker 1 (16:04):
Yeah, yeah, was that the spring water or whatever it's called.
What's it called?

Speaker 2 (16:07):
I can't even remember anyway, So there's like the little
Douglass something I can't remember.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
It's something I watch you pach you Yeah, sure, So
it's like.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
The little town there and then you take a you
take a train up and then yeah, or a bus
up and yeah, hiked around and did you go up
to the top like the little rock you look out
over the ruins and then there.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
Oh yeah, dude, So my machu pecha story i'll have
to hear. I'm gonna show you the photo. You're gonna
die laughing. So when I I'm sorry for you guys listening,
you're just gonna have to deal with this for a second.
But so, dude, the story is old, right. So I
I actually just took the bus up and I was
on this tour and I was with like twelve people
on the tour or whatever. I was supposed to go
with a couple of my friends and then they bailed
last minute. So I actually I had forty friends that

(16:48):
were meeting me in Panama, and so I ended up
going to Machu Picha by myself and then I met
up with them afterwards in Panama. But dude, so I'm
doing this, uh, And I'd had Machu Pichu. It was
on my first vision board. I had this picture of
Machu Pichu and I had this idea in my head
of like Machu Piachu and it was breath take, exactly
what you would expect the picture to be, right, And

(17:08):
then I get there and dude, we had like a
super foggy day. Okay, so this is my original picture,
pure fog okay, like the worst picture. And the group's like,
we gotta go, we gotta go. I'm like, no, I'm
not leaving. I had this on my vision board. This
is not what I envisioned. I'm like, I'm waiting, and
the lady she's literally like, sir, we have to go.

(17:30):
And I said, well, I'm a grown ass man and
I'm walking off. I'm done with this tour, so go ahead.
Like there's people everywhere waiting here see you later. And dude,
it took an hour and a half. But checked this out.
So I went from that photo to that in an
hour and a half.

Speaker 2 (17:45):
Oh yeah, it's.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
A picture of a lifetime. Was like my all time
favorite photo. So it was so funny, dude, because it
was I was just there was no way I was
leaving Machu Picha without the photo. And then they don't
let you leave and come back in. I had to
go to the bathroom so bad, dude, and like, no,
it's too sacred. I normally had to.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
Well I didn't.

Speaker 1 (18:06):
I didn't just have to pee, but like normally I
would have just like uh whatever, you know, but not there.
It felt too sacred. So I left. So I was
only there after I got my picture for like another
ten minutes and I had to go. You were done?
After that. I couldn't stay. I was going to crap
my pants. Dude.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
It was well, yeah, you had to go.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
Okay, Yeah, it's like there's trees in Machia Pecha, there's
nowhere to hide. Yeah, you're like ruining the ruins at
that point.

Speaker 2 (18:34):
Yeah, yeah, for sure. It's funny. By the time we
got to Machia Pichu, Like there was so many different
like just really spiritual moments throughout the hike when you're
at like high elevation you've been like trudging all day,
you know, or like you pull up on you know.
There was ruined sites that we went to that were

(18:57):
very similar looking to Machi Piachu and how it was built,
and there are big layouts of structures and stuff. But
because it was so far back where we were, there
was no one else there. So we pulled up on
some ruins that were like you got to yourself, yeah,
and they were just like there by ourselves. So it's
kind of it was kind of interesting. It was like
such a build up that it was like the actual

(19:21):
arrival was like it was almost more like all right,
like let's enjoy this, and then I was like ready
to go home at that point, you know what I mean.
It was like the peak for me was like being
out there away from everybody in the actual mountains. Coming
to actual Machu Pichu was amazing, but it was it
was a different experience being around that many people and
it being more like kind of in a city.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
Very touristy and yeah, well it's you know, it's just
that's the metaphor. That's what makes hiking so fun, dude,
is it's such a great reminder about life that like,
it's not about where you're going. You get to Machi Picha,
you're there for an hour and a half and you're like,
I don't care, like I hear the bathroom. I'm leaving, like, yeah,
you were there, and you're like, Okay, we're kind of
over this. It's been ten days, you know, or whatever
it is. And that's life, dude. If we just like

(20:05):
are always trying to get somewhere and you miss the
moment that you're in and that really is it's just
about being presents. What I love about hiking. It just
reminds you that the hike, the climb, it's not even
it's not where you're being. It's not where you're going,
it's who you're on that churl with. It's who you know.
It's like, it's the present moment.

Speaker 2 (20:22):
Yeah, one hundred percent. Man, I love that. It's it's
all about the company on the journey, you know. It's
it's who you're with and the journey that you're on.
That's yeah, that's what it is. You get obsessed with
the final destination. You never allow yourself to fully appreciate
and enjoy the moment when you're always focused on That
was me for so long. It's just like what's next,

(20:43):
what's the next project? All right, we got to get
to this chapter. Da da da da. And it's like,
very recently I've been able to like calm down, come
into the moment of just like, this is where we're at,
this is who we're with, enjoy this here now, and dude,
for sure will be fine.

Speaker 1 (20:57):
For twenty years, I wanted to fill my calend under
up as much as I could. It was like that
was the goal, to put as manything on there as
I can. And now it's the opposite. My goal is
to keep it as empty as I can. I'll show
you to go upstairs. It's pretty dude, like I'm I
don't put things on my calendar if I don't want
to do them now, you know. And and I keep

(21:17):
all my morning so I have every morning. I don't
have any meetings or appointments that I set before eleven o'clock. Nice,
like I want to give myself that time. I'm doing
a lot of studying right now, a lot of like
meditation type work and just being you know, going on
walks things like that. But there's I feel like the
world itself has sped up so much recently that I'm

(21:39):
trying to really slow down. It feels like there's not
time to just sit and read, there's not time to
work on yourself. I don't know if you've been feeling this,
but like it feels like there's this poll of just
like everything's happening so fast, and there's so much happening,
and so it's just this temptation to fall into that
and feel like I need to run at this faster
speed when I know I just need to slow it down.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
Yeah, you're one hundred percent right, Like with with how
quickly we can absorb information now, it's like we're always
wanting to keep up.

Speaker 1 (22:09):
It's like, oh, this is happening.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
You want to stay up to date, you need to
know be in the note It's like bitcoin's hitting a
new all time high.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
It's like, well, it's like trying to do the thing
with Charlie Kirk right, like he gets killed and I'm
trying to follow the story for the first week and
there's so much propaganda and bullshit and none of the
story makes any sense. And so I'm following it pretty close,
and I'm trying to follow like the actual news. I'm
trying to fall Candace Owns. I'm trying to fall eating
Carroll like people that you know, I've learned to like, Okay,

(22:35):
I'm going to give you a different perspective here. And
then it just got overwhelming and I haven't even touched
it in two weeks it's been, you know, I haven't.
I haven't looked at a single thing. I just got
over it. I'm like, I know it's bullshit. I know
that it was probably Israel. I know it's not the
story they're giving us. Beyond that, I don't know what
the hell happened, and I don't have the time to
stick with it anymore. So I had to like just
move on to the next thing.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
Yeah, And it's it's hard to put that much effort
in for me, at least, hard to put that much capacity, energy,
whatever into something that's like ultimately, how is this going
doesn't change me and my family? Like, this isn't something
that's ultimately going to make the difference if I'm in
a position where I can make the difference, where like
you know, like for you.

Speaker 1 (23:14):
I get it.

Speaker 2 (23:15):
You have a big voice.

Speaker 1 (23:16):
You have a bigger voice. Yeah, I think. I think
the temptation that I have is like, I actually think
I can make a difference, and whether I can or not,
I might be able naive on that, but I do
think enough people listen that it's worth me trying to
figure some of this stuff out. You know, like COVID,
I made a difference. I know I did, at least
on a local level. I fricking was so loud and
so aggressively not getting locked down that I think me

(23:37):
standing up changed a lot of people. Gave permission for
other people to go. You know, some of us have
to jump on some of us have to jump on
the first land mines yea. And I just feel like
I'm one of those guys. I'm the guy that's going
to bust the door open, and I take some shots
for that, but I think it allows people permission to
then go. You know what, I can look at this
from a different angle. I can push back against Trump

(23:57):
when he's hiding the Epstein files. I don't have to
fall in line with every Republican talking point. I don't
have to just have conservative values when it's at the
you know, when we can we not just like admit
that Gaza a genocide is happening over there.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
And I have these.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
Contrari and takes sometimes for people that aren't used to
somebody that usually just fall in line with the party, right. Yeah,
And I feel like, you know, I take a lot
of bullets, like I said, for that, but I do
feel like I don't know, I can I can go
first and wake up a lot of people.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
Yeah, I think you're in a unique position to be
able to do that. And I think the fact that
like you're listening to your own kind of like internal
drive to do that as bad ass. You know, it
takes a lot of courage to do what you do
and piss people off and lose friends and risk you know,
friends getting well friends with you.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
Here's the part you don't know though, and this is
this is the secret. Okay, nobody actually attacks you ever
in person. I've never had a single person come up
to me in person negative. It's always positive. I get
two or three people honestly a day if I'm going out,
like if I'm out and about, I'll get at least
a person a day that comes up and it's like, hey, man,
thanks for this, thanks for speaking up on this whatever O. Hey,
you don't know me, but because I'm not just like

(25:03):
on a movie or something, I'm actually talking about things, right,
And so you get a lot of positive reinforcement in person.
And then I don't read comments. I don't go on
any chat sides. I don't read any of the negativity.
If anybody comes at me, it's rare. But even when
they come at me online, I just block them. I
don't care. I know it's the media. Like I wouldn't
let you in my house. If you were talking shit

(25:24):
in my house, I'd kick you out. So it's like, see, yeah,
like I don't I don't have to keep listening. No,
and I don't and I don't care to. And so
what the gift in all of it is what I
was going to get at, is is you find your people,
Like the people that know me, they freaking love me
now because I can trust Jimmy, Like I know where
I'm at with Jimmy. I know Jimmy's going to be authentic.

(25:45):
And you find your people guys like you that are
like I mean, there's probably nothing somebody could come up
and say to you. You've been around me enough where
you'd be like, oh, I'm changing my mind on Jimmy,
like you know me. Yeah, And that's my people, right,
And so I actually find my tribe by being authentic.
And I learned a long time ago, dude, the most
attractive state that a man can be and is one

(26:05):
hundred percent authentically, unapologetically himself. And so I just try
to do that. And sometimes you lose people, but you
don't lose your people, you lose the people that were never.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
Yours, not yours. Yeah, well, some personalities it's easier to
be than others. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:20):
And by the way, we don't need three of me,
we just need one of the You know, I have
so many friends that did I love it. It's like
my favorite text. I get them all day. They're like,
they'll send me shit and I have to laugh and
smile because they're always like way behind where I'm at.

Speaker 2 (26:34):
But I woke them up to the thing.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
Whether it was like when I left the church psychedelics
COVID now with like Israel and all this shit. Yeah,
And it's so funny, dude, because they always like will
send me stuff and I'm like, God, I'm over that.

Speaker 2 (26:48):
Is I'm so far past that meme or video.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
No, and so, but I also want to appreciate it
because I love that they're waking up to something and
they're excited to share it with me. Yeah, but it's
just funny. I mean, I've been the first one on
a lot of this stuff and it's okay. That's the
role I play. And maybe because I don't have a
family and kids, I don't have to worry as much.
I'm not worried about them being ostracized. I'm not worrying
about how it's gonna affect their friend relationships, you know. Yeah,

(27:13):
and so I'm able to maybe take a few more gunshots.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
And I feel like the way your businesses are shut up,
like you're in a very safe spot to be able
to say shit, Yeah, it's pretty dope.

Speaker 1 (27:23):
Yeah. I mean I I set myself up. I paid
off my house three weeks ago, so I don't have
to worry about that anymore. Thank you, dude. I Actually
it's part of what you talked about, though, is like
just finding peace and stuff. Is I just obviously financially,
there's other more aggressive moves you can make. Yeah, I
just I sold a couple of businesses I had and
paid off my house and I don't ever want to

(27:44):
have to worry about it again. I don't have to
work if I don't want. I can say what I
want on my podcast without worrying if it's gonna affect
my business.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
You know, you're not gonna like there's nowhere for people
to write you bad reviews that's going to actually like
affect endy thing.

Speaker 1 (27:56):
It's like, okay, well, and you know it's funny because
I was a little bit afraid to speak out even
on like some of the stuff with like Trump and
the Epstein Files is a good example, and I was like, gosh,
I don't I don't want to piss people off that
would join weird the day. But then I had to
remind myself. I was like, no, this program attracts people
because of the authenticity. Like I built my first group
because I was allowed during COVID and it was very uncomfortable,

(28:18):
Like props to us that fought back against the vaccines
and COVID, like they tried to make your art lives hell.
Like I had two of my best friends in the
world basically ostracize me and say, dude, I cannot believe
that this is you. Now they both came back and
minute I was right, and to their credit and we're
actually close. Again.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
It's a lot about them.

Speaker 1 (28:35):
It honestly does. Like it was cool, dude, because but again,
you find your people by and by the way. I've
been off course on things and they'll pull me aside
and be like, bro, this isn't you Like you're missing
something here, you know, and so, but well, dude, you're
one of those guys. You're like a I would compare
you to like Matthew McConaughey. You're just like kind of

(28:55):
like a cool dude, you know, you're like like a
renaissance man like you. I love characters in my life
and you're the kind of guy that, no matter what
I heard you were doing, I would not be surprised
by it. If they're like literally they somebody could tell me, oh,
yeah he's doing this, and it could be literally anything,
and I'd be like, yeah, that's yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
Totally what does that? Yeah, that's awesome, man, I appreciate it.
I pride myself on having a lot of diverse experiences
like that. That's something I really love. I feel like
that's helped me get to know myself something I'm still doing.
But I love just like variety of experiences, like in
so many different aspects of like life, you know, just

(29:35):
doing different things, doing different sports, traveling. That's why I
have so many cars, And that's honestly, like why I
have two houses even I feel like because like I
have like my space at both of them. But I
just like changing things, like you know, and so I've
always I've always done that. I'm always like taking a
different car that I have, or riding a different bike,
or like, you know, like the way that I dress.

(29:56):
I feel like kind of like has like these big shifts.
You know. I used to wear this like leather cowboy
hat every day and like it was so drawn to it,
you know, and then like I feel like that has
led me of just like trying all these different things.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
And it's exactly what you said.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
It's like it wouldn't surprise you what I was doing,
like you know earlier today, I'm up in the mountains
riding you know, dirt bikes, trying to make sure that
we're going to be down in time so I could
be here.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
You know, if you have you studied, we talked about
a little bit in the program, but the six Human Needs.
With that, Tony Robbins really talks a lot about Yeah,
I've heard a little bit. I've heard you talk about it.
So yeah, so the six human needs because it plays
into this a little bit with your personality and mind
too a little bit. But so all of us have
two that we probably favor the most. But there's certainty,

(30:39):
variety or uncertainty, significance, lover, connection, growth, and contribution, and
we're all.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
A variety of all these, right, Like we're a scale.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
He actually has a test you can take where it
scales you from one to fifteen. And I was like
off the charts on my uncertainty. I am like I
live for Thats why I've been to one hundred and
firteen countries. That's why I've been in twenty relationships. That's
why I have ten best friends. I love variety, and
so do you. And Tony talks about this. He says
you you will have the amount it's he says, the

(31:12):
amount of uncertainty you're comfortable having in your life is
the amount of fun you'll have in your life.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
Yeah, like and passion too.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
Yeah, No, it's just you're just not going to be
a very fun person if you don't like variety, if
you don't like uncertainty, because if you need everything to
align for you to go, try something good luck. Like
I remember when we were in Africa, bro, and we're
driving through this little village. Next thing, I know, you
and Taylor on like I think you guys got on
top of our bus and I'm just like surfing on
top of the bus. I'm like, oh god, I'm gonna

(31:40):
want to lose one of these guys in Africa. But
it's there's just you don't need everything to be safe.
You're not trying to play it safe. I don't even
want a little life where I'm playing it safe, you know.

Speaker 2 (31:50):
No, definitely not. I want to take risk. I want
to use risk, you know, Like, I don't think that's
you know, business action sports stuff. It's all in the
same similar vein. For me, it's utilizing risk for my enjoyment,
for my you know, for my advantage. And yeah, I
mean I think it just makes life so much more
fun if you if you know exactly what's gonna happen,

(32:11):
if you know exactly how things are gonna end, Like,
how's that enjoyable?

Speaker 1 (32:14):
Dude? I just use the example. It's like, I'd rather
have my life be a beautiful mess where a lot
of things go wrong, and I'm totally content with that.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
I am totally up for that.

Speaker 1 (32:24):
I got to the point a couple of years ago
we're in the moment where it's going wrong. I'm like, Okay,
this is going to be kind of interesting. Like I'm
kind of in I'm kind of up for this. You know,
I'm kind of into it. And it doesn't mean I'm
trying to make things go wrong, but in the moment,
I can appreciate that. You know, every movie you've ever watched, Like,
what's your favorite movie? What makes the movie Gladiator good? Well,
it's that he was totally screwed. At the beginning of

(32:45):
the movie, he was the general, he was going to
become the emperor, Like he was the guy. He was
so honorable and beautiful and his kid and his wife
is like doing everything you can possibly do correctly, and
they rob him of it and they make him a slave,
and he's like and then even when he gets back
to becoming like the top gladiator, he's at this peak again,
they'd screw him again. He stabs him and he cheats him,

(33:07):
and you're like, but you. It's such an honorable life
and it's just such a cool story. And by the
end of it, you're like, that's the best meal I've
ever seen. It's not because everything went his way. It's
because in spite of everything going against him, he kept
getting back up, he kept winning, he kept trying, you know,
and that's when it makes it such a beautiful movie.
It's every good movie has the same plot.

Speaker 2 (33:28):
Line, Yeah, overcoming the adversity. And it's like if you're
if you're not introducing enough like adversity and of intentionally,
I feel like it comes in one way or the other.
It's like you either you to decide what's going to
be hard and like what your adversity is going to
be and like, but if you aim for just something
consistent and no adversity, then there's probably going to be

(33:49):
a whole lot more on the back end that I
feel like people do.

Speaker 1 (33:52):
Yeah, the way that I heard it, my mentor would say,
he say, when you're hard on yourself, life will be
easy on you. But when you're easy on yourself, life
will be hard on you. Oh yeah, that's the best
I ever heard of. Put. So, what are a couple
of things that you've done. What are some of your
philosophies with work? I mean, I know you've built up
your company. Now how many how many employees and stuff
you guys have?

Speaker 2 (34:07):
No, like actual employees, we have five Okay, yeah, we
got six sales reps they're ten ninety nine. But yeah,
full time with us. And then yeah, I just got
a crew. We pretty much just build you know, five
roups a week. It's just us doing a roof of day,
basically roof a day. Yep. That's what we've been chugging

(34:27):
along at this year. So it's been it's been awesome
like this year. Beginning of the year, I was like,
all right, I'm just I'm just like so at the
end of last year, we had a really good year
last year as well. Coming into last winter, I've got
some cash built up, and I'm like, all right, I
want to like I want to like, you know, have

(34:47):
that variety, have that you know it's good to do. Well.
I just started scaling faster, I started hiring more aggressively.
I started, you know, I spent money to get all
my vehicles, like three of my vehicles wrapped, which wasn't
which wasn't cheap, and it was just like stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (35:02):
I just have to get my moving truck wrapped. Last
time it was like four grand, it's like ten grand.

Speaker 2 (35:08):
Now, yeah, it's suspensive. It's gone up, Like, yeah, it's insane.

Speaker 1 (35:13):
I don't even if I'm gonna do it. I'm like,
I'm just gonna paint it black.

Speaker 2 (35:15):
But it works so well. It does work so well,
it's like and it lasts so long that it's like,
oh man, the advertising just goes. But yeah, So I
did that and then like got another house, got another car,
like doing all these trips as I'm growing the company,
And like one thing I didn't really understand or factor
in with scaling was it's like, Okay, it's going to

(35:37):
cost this much to scale, but I didn't factor in
the cost of those people making mistakes, new people making mistakes,
and we ordered something wrong, or we build something wrong,
or we tear off something wrong. So I like got
a little sloppy in some of the systems when we
hired new people. That there was just like a unique
project where we weren't supposed to rip off, you know,

(36:00):
thirty solar panels and throw them away, oh ship, but
we did, you know what I mean? So then the
customer's like, hey, where was my solder that I just
got last year? And I'm like, what do you mean? Well,
that's why they say like slow to hire, quick to
fly a right.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
But it's it's it's the growing pains of every person
that's ever gone through a business. Yeah. I remember the
first time I tried to outsource, like me not being
the one that showed the homes and I hired these
two agents. They were just newer, Like now they're both
top agents in Utah when Stan and Crosby these two agents,
they're both kick ass. Now I'm actually really proud of
both of them, but like at the time, I wasn't

(36:33):
doing a good job of training them, and a couple
of my clients got bad experiences, you know, working with
these new agents and and fired me. And I was
just like, oh damn, it cost me. Each one of
those was like a twenty twenty five thousand dollar commission.
And I remember just being like, oh, I gotta either
dialed in my training and actually like train these people
or I'm gonna it's they're not getting the same experience

(36:53):
they would have got with me, And that was really frustrating.

Speaker 2 (36:55):
Yeah, it's it's not easy, like hiring, training, scaling, it's
takes a little bit to gauge, like even you know,
somebody could be working and they're just like it's hard
line to walk because you're on one side, You're you
don't want to slow down your team or like your
capacity because you're you still got stuff to do. But

(37:16):
it's like if you're if you don't keep an eye
on them and you don't do really good job training them,
then you're going to have issues. So it's like you
either do you got to decide how much you want
to slow down to provide the safety net for yourself
well so something doesn't go wrong.

Speaker 1 (37:29):
It's kind of like with Weird today, right, Like I've
been wanting to expand and let some other guys, you know,
run some of the groups, and uh, you know the
guy that took Group seven, Dan, I mean he was
my manager. I've watched him in person, so like he's
as talented as anybody out there when it comes to
managing people. And so I felt very confident. And then Moe,
who's been to twenty of our events. Yeah, and you know,

(37:51):
I think you came to me a couple of weeks
ago and asked if there might be a possibility in
the future, and it's like, these are the kinds of people.
My whole thing is like, I don't have time to
train train you, so like you can come to enough events.
You see what I'm doing. You just let you kind
of shadow me a little. And you're you're talented enough,
you've been managing people as many as I have. You'll
be able to step into that if you decide you

(38:12):
want to do that. That's what Dan moe inside. They're
already leaders. I just find people that are already there
because I can't stand training. Dude, I'm terrible at of them.

Speaker 2 (38:20):
Bro.

Speaker 1 (38:20):
And I hate firing too. I've never liked firing people
so bad.

Speaker 2 (38:24):
Actually just got Actually, Brian kind of gave me shit
for it because I was like, yeah, I don't fire
my people. Everybody I've ever fired, I've had my brother
do it. Brother's just like, you're a coward. He's like, exactly,
that's what he said, and he kind of said that,
and I was just like, I was like, yeah, I
kind of had this in a roundabout way where it's
like Ethan's just better at having those conversations. I'm like too,

(38:47):
I don't know but yeah, he was like, I don't know.
That kind of seems cowardly.

Speaker 1 (38:51):
I was like, all right, now you as well it is,
but and I get it, and it's like it's like
nothing good is gonna I gotta tell you one story
real quick.

Speaker 2 (39:02):
This.

Speaker 1 (39:02):
Did you ever meet the video guy? I won't say
his name, but he was like nineteen. He was trying
to make videos for us at some of the lootises.
Is probably when you first started. It was like two
years ago and probably not anyway. So we go on
the couple's trip to can Kun and first off, he
left my five thousand dollars camera at this like little
tienda in Mexico, so thank god it wasn't stolen. We
had to go forty five minutes across town to get it, though,

(39:23):
And then he brought the wrong stuff to like put
everything on the wrong whatever you call it. What do
you call a thing that you put your videos on
the anyway, the master thing? What do you call a
damn computer? Yeah, kind of like a computer, but a
hard drive. This is how a technical I am. He

(39:46):
brought the wrong hard drive. It wasn't one that's supposed
to like travel, and so it corrupted all the footage,
and the whole reason I did that event was to
get the footage. So we lost like some really valuable footage.
And even then I didn't fire him, but then he
like he missed two three weeks in a row, like
what he was supposed to be doing. So finally I
had him come in and dude, this is like my

(40:07):
favorite firing story. So I'm like sitting there, I'm like, so, dude, like,
what's going on? Where's the project? And he just starts
crying and he says, I've been depressed. I just I
can't get myself to work. I haven't been working at all,
and I just I really liked the kid, but I
didn't like how he worked. And I just looked at
him and I'm like, you know, I have to fire you, right,
And he's like yeah, I know.

Speaker 2 (40:29):
He goes.

Speaker 1 (40:30):
He literally goes, dude, I love the younger generation. God
bless you guys. You're just much better people than we were.
But he literally goes, can I get a hug because
I'm firing this kid? Dude, I'm like, he's giving him
a hug, and I'm just like, it's just like what
is going on in his life? And so sometimes when
you fire people, you get to have those really special

(40:52):
moments where you with him, you.

Speaker 2 (40:54):
Know, yeah, I don't know, and I'll definitely have to
do that and I'll introduce to.

Speaker 1 (41:02):
Each Yeah yeah, no, no, you don't hug him, he
offered to hug me. I doubt they want to hug you.
If you just fired him, you're gonna get shipd or something.

Speaker 2 (41:09):
That's actually probably true. But it's funny you said the
slow to hire, quick to fire, and you're kind of
talking about the hiring stuff because it was like in
November last year that we really were like, all right,
let's start. I'll start hiring da da da. And then
what was it, February? You had your b one conference,
so I had to be one conference. I talked to
Ed and I was like, hey, i've been hiring, I've

(41:30):
been trying to scale, Like give me a nugget for
hiring and scaling. And he was like, you just find
someone else that's already doing that job and pay him
a little more. And I was just like, damn, let's
go so simple. So then that's what we started doing.
And then we've been like adding more you know, better people.

Speaker 1 (41:46):
Brilliant, better like you don't have to train. You save
all the money that costs you to train. I mean,
if you think of the cost of taking a new
person and training them up, it's a lot, you know,
a ton.

Speaker 2 (41:56):
It's onboarding, and then like somebody has to stop working
to like train you. So you're paying two people and
you're basically getting like zero production for a little bit.

Speaker 1 (42:05):
It's true.

Speaker 2 (42:06):
That's why it's super hard when you're so small, because
you have two people on your team. You need fifty
percent of your team to shut down to get to
that third. It's like so hard getting through your first
like three good people. Then after that it's like, dude,
I tried.

Speaker 1 (42:21):
To bring a loo in last year from Google and
he's brilliant and he really helped me, like with all
the madness that was the business the back end, but
he ran stuff Like, dude, this guy made six hundred
grand a year at Google and had a ninety dollars
a day budget for food, you know what I mean,
Like this guy was used to corporate America.

Speaker 2 (42:36):
I'm over here, like, hey, the job's done.

Speaker 1 (42:39):
When we're done, it's not done because it's six o'clock
or five o'clock or whatever else, And he had like
two trips in a row with his family that he
was doing in like a month, and dude, it like
shut down. The business is like, oh yeah, and it's
you have to explain people like a small business. You're
wearing all the hats. It's like it's all hands on deck,
and the job isn't done until it's done. Like you

(42:59):
don't get to go home because it's time to go home.
You get to go home because you got the thing done.
And if it's not done, you stay there and you
get it done, you know, and you're you're just picking
up for each other left and right. And so it's
like what I've just been doing is hiring a lot
of like ten ninety nine people, you know, instead of
trying to bring people in house. That's what I just
you know, hire out a videographer, hire even with my

(43:19):
podcast now after I stold my studio and all these
different things. It's just it's easier for me. I'm still
with payroll. I don't have to deal with you know,
all those things looking with it.

Speaker 2 (43:27):
Yeah, No, it's it's way easier to just do ten
ninety nine. That's We've we've been adding a few of
our people that's why, like we only have you know,
five that are actual employees, but like I probably managing
like a group of twelve.

Speaker 1 (43:41):
Yeah, like that's metable.

Speaker 2 (43:42):
Some of them have a couple of their clients maybe,
but like pretty full on with like twelve people. Nice
and there's like yeah, some some like sub managers where
maybe I don't always have to talk to that there's
like someone else they could go to.

Speaker 1 (43:56):
Well, so we finished the program like two weeks ago. Uh,
kind of crazy, But so what are you going to
do now to keep the momentum going?

Speaker 2 (44:02):
What's your plan to like get more coach?

Speaker 1 (44:05):
That's a good question question.

Speaker 2 (44:08):
No, I haven't thought about it. I haven't thought about
it in that in that context. I thought about it
in the context of how am I going to going
to keep my progression going? But not specifically like this going.

Speaker 1 (44:19):
Well, I think that's the progression is the important thing there.

Speaker 2 (44:22):
Yeah, But I think as far as like I mean, yeah,
I'll be I'll be doing you know, I've already got
like a couple of trips planned with some guys in
the group that we're talking about. Brian said, he's going
to offer.

Speaker 1 (44:34):
Up Oh yeah, you know, sounds like we're gonna do
that quite often.

Speaker 2 (44:37):
Annual trip or something like that by Anniel. But as
far as like, you know, the gratitude list, that's been
that's been something that I've gotten back into more recently,
but something that's just been so helpful for me in
my mindset.

Speaker 1 (44:51):
Dude, I got a couple of guys they send me
there's every day I try to remember every day. I'm
pretty good at it. Yeah, shout out Chris Nelson and
Joe Did. They send it to me every morning.

Speaker 2 (45:01):
I have a couple of guys that are like, they're
so consistent.

Speaker 1 (45:03):
I'm gonna read one of these. It's actually pretty inspiring.
Check this out real quick. This is like this Chris, dude,
because the gratitude is such an important thing and we
forget that. This dude doesn't just write it. Hopefully there's
nothing in here too personal, but this is how he rites. Dude.
He says grand rising. Today's day, October fourteenth. Today I
rise grateful for cells, the thing that makes everything better.
Yesterday was great because three people signed docs. Hat tricks

(45:25):
don't always happen, but when they do, any adversity of
negative feelings associated with the job are instantly nuked. The
Solar Coaster has its ups and downs. Enjoy this moment
and prepare for another. Number. Two. Anthony, My Bro, my Dog.
All three of those cells were with Anthony in house.
Last time I had tricked, also had the efforts of
Anthony involved. I love what I do and even more importantly,
love who I'm doing it with. Thanks for the efforts brother.
We earned yesterday. Three gel fresh Blood Killer gall is

(45:48):
in her second month absolute and he just keeps going
like each one of them is so detailed.

Speaker 2 (45:52):
Shout out Chris Nelson. Dude, he gives me. I'll get
these every day from him.

Speaker 1 (45:55):
Dude.

Speaker 2 (45:56):
Yeah, he sends it to me as well, and I'm like, unbelievable.
I'll I'll like every few I've all like respond to, Like, bro,
the consistency is so inspiring. I'm like, I'm just like
these guys.

Speaker 1 (46:06):
How do you even how does it?

Speaker 2 (46:07):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (46:07):
From Running of the Bulls? Yeah? Is that where you
guys met at Running with the Bulls. That's one of
the cool parts about the Adventure trips. And I'm glad
you're coming in March to New Zealand because you get
to meet people that are in the other groups and
the culture is already set, so the connection happens, you know,
so far.

Speaker 2 (46:20):
Connection happens so fast. There's just so many different things
going on, so many different opportunities to meet people. But dude,
the adventure trips are so sick. I just love how
I don't have to plan anything, and then I get
to like it's like saves me. I get to get
it do a trip right, So that kind of like
that's something that kind of in a way needs to happen,
you know, at least periodically. So it's like I got

(46:40):
that taken care of. But then I also didn't have
to take the time to organize it. And then I
also got to go with a bunch of people where
I can actually like move the needle and make a
difference in business, personal, networking, relationship, whatever it is. So
it's like it's almost kind of like a work trip
in a way where it's like it's a work trip

(47:01):
in a sense that it's very productive. It's always super productive. Like, dude,
I have mav Maverick, one of the guys that I
met running with the Bulls. He has come out during
ourselves Guys. Now he's freaking crushing it. He freaking he
just got promoted a project manager. Like, so he's closing
his own projects now and he closed to yesterday.

Speaker 1 (47:19):
Hell yeah, yeah you got that. And this is what
I This is why I was traveling a ton always
two people like, how do you afford to take so
much time off work and travel is Like, dude, I've
sold more homes because of my vacations than anything I
ever did. Like now, I made it a point when
I was there to get to know everybody, and I
tried to sell all houses. But bro, that's what that's
the whole point of it, right, I'm glad that you said.
And plus, like, dude, we have those venture trips dialed

(47:42):
so easy. Dude, we just planted up. We really do
plan it so good for people. You just show up
and everything's taken care.

Speaker 2 (47:47):
That's amazing. Yeah, I love it.

Speaker 1 (47:48):
Well, dude, I'm so grateful we had you in the program.
And what was the first thing that brought you to
a lot? I don't even remember how'd you find out
about it?

Speaker 2 (47:55):
So I've known Taylor Palmer right for a long time,
but he was he was building a battery for my
van that I was building out, Like you can't prevent
He's like putting together his battery for me, and he's like, yeah,
I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go put together my rope
swing this weekend for my buddy. He has like this
men's group thing. And I was like all right, you know,

(48:16):
He's like, you come down, you want to like help
set it up. You can hit it and stuff, you know,
and I'm like, perfect, let's do it. So that was
for LG one.

Speaker 1 (48:23):
Oh you were there for a group one.

Speaker 2 (48:25):
I helped set the swing up.

Speaker 1 (48:26):
I don't remember.

Speaker 2 (48:27):
I was the test like this, You were the first
guy the night before, we set it up the day before.

Speaker 1 (48:32):
It was crazy about when we first did it is
you guys set it up the night before.

Speaker 2 (48:36):
Set up the night before, and then like it was
getting dark and Taylor was like, well we need someone
to test it. Anyone want to test it? And I
was like may maybe you know, so yeah, I sent
it off at like dusk and then it was or no, sorry,
it was the next day. We had a whole another
day with my group where we were just sessioning with
my group, and then it was the day after that

(48:56):
morning you pulled up with him with LG one. So
then I added I think I added you on Instagram
and then hit you up about the b one conference.
Went to that, and then it was just like saw
some value invested more, saw value invested more. And it's
just been like this snowball. It's been kind of this
beautiful thing. And it's awesome that it's, you know, continuing on,

(49:18):
because I didn't really expect that until Moe told me
he was running a group and I was just like,
he's gonna need help, Like I'll help him, you know
what I mean, Like I'd love to love to help
him and just go through basically go through the program again,
but from.

Speaker 1 (49:31):
Like they all helping.

Speaker 2 (49:32):
Yeah yeah, And so that just like right when he
said that, it just like hit me that I should
do it. And then I was like when I started
learning more and I'm like, oh, maybe one day I
could even run my own you know. Having that so well, dude,
then the journey, dude, it's been a.

Speaker 1 (49:48):
Beautiful, so cool man. It's so fun to just look back.
Is like all the people that you get to call
friends now, and I love how vulnerable we are with
each other. I was at the gym yesterday and ran
into a walk guide and it was kind of funny.
He's like, how you doing, man. I was like, I
was like I could lie and just be like I'm
doing Gray. I was like, I'm in a little bit
of a funk. Have been for like a week, dude,
and went into it a little bit, told him why

(50:08):
I was in a funk and how I was handling
it and the things that I needed to like get
my shit together on a couple of things. And he's like, dude,
I've been in a funk for like the last two months.
And we started talking about it and what was going on.
Just such a real conversation and both of us neither
us needed anything from it. We just wanted to hear
each other. And then at the end, I was like,
love you man, get back to your workout. It was
like but it was like, God, I love that we

(50:30):
can talk to each other like this. Neither of us
had to put on this facade. We're both fine, we're
both doing great. But it was like, yeah, we were
just kind of feeling and it was just felt nice
to be seen by somebody. Yeah, I don't have to
wear a mask honestly to be real and still loved
for not being okay, you know, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (50:45):
That's what's so cool about what you what you've created
in the group is that you know, it's it's like,
it's so okay to be that's so okay. It's like
it's definitely the preference to just like let it, let it,
let the walls down, and just have meaningful, realistic, like
real authentic connections with people.

Speaker 1 (51:04):
Yeah, that's the best part.

Speaker 2 (51:06):
That's the best part for me, brother, is just being
able to have more more of those guys that I
can be real with so fun.

Speaker 1 (51:11):
Everywhere I go, I run into them, Dude, I run
into the guys, like everywhere I go. It's like my
favorite part.

Speaker 2 (51:16):
Yeah. How many guys do you have in the group total?

Speaker 1 (51:18):

three hundred and fifty guys join and then another five
hundred in the tribe probably, dang, gro were we.
