  Speaker 3: Sometimes?
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: Sometimes now, Sometimes I feel like it's gone by so fast,
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: And other times I'm like, wait, how did five years
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: already go by? Like it seems like it was just yesterday.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: We opened?
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: And think about five years ago was like twenty twenty,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: and a lot of people remember all kinds of things
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: from that year. You guys were getting ready to open
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: a business. How different was that in twenty twenty, right?
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: I mean it was definitely a whirlwind when I think
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: back to twenty twenty for us, because I graduated carero
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: Practice School in February twenty February twenty eighth of twenty twenty.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: That was like two weeks before the pandemic came, right, right.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: We moved to Sioux Falls March first, and then yeah,
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: two weeks later the world shot down. Meanwhile, like we're
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: getting all our systems and procedures ready, We're still looking
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: at going ahead with getting an office started, you know,
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: so it was a lot of applying for SBA loans,
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: which you know, they were doing the PPP loans at
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: that time. So everything just kind of got slowed down
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: in our business starting. And it wasn't like we just
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: decided to do this on a spur. We've had been
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: working on it while I was in chiropractice school leading
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: up to graduating. And then it was you know, doing
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: all of the shopping for a location.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: And what was that process like and how did you
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: end up here?
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: I love where you're located, but was there did you
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: have a bunch of locations you'd looked at?
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: We looked at our realtor, so we worked with business
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: realtor and he showed us, you know, based on their
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: algorithms and stuff like that, they're like, these would be
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: some good spots and kind of the the thing that
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: they looked at was close to a major highway or
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: interstate system. So Check or right off of I twenty
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: nine by Walmart or Target, or like a bigger shopping center.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Check Walmart and Home Depot and Sam's Club are right
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: by us. And that just it means that people are
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: gonna be coming to your office area, not just for
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: the chiropractor, but also so they can do as they're
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: not having to make a trip out of their way
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: home necessarily. I do have some patients that do. They
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: do have to drive across town, but they like it
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: so much that they, you know, they're willing.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: To know, of course they do.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: So, I mean there's just being in an area that
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: people want to go to, Versus if you're kind of
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: in the middle of nowhere in a weird spot, it's like,
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: I don't really want to go all the way over
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: to that area. So yeah, no, that definitely helps with
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: you know, just making patients lives easier as they can
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: pick up some groceries on their way home.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Did you look at a bunch of different places or
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: was this kind of you walked in and go this
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: is the one.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: I want to say, we looked at three or four
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: other places. There was one other spot over off a
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: tenth Street that we looked at. It was right across
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: tiv on Tenth Street on the east side that we
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: looked at, and we had, you know, actually started building
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: like a layout and stuff. But it was just gonna
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: be a lot more work because it's a little bit
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: older space, so they had to they would have to
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: completely gut all the electrical and redo it where this
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: was one of the few spaces that we looked at
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: that was a completely blank canvas.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: So this was just dirt Floriete, wasn't it.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: I it was concrete concrete because this used to be
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: the old Galaxy Gaming location. So where our office is
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: at is Laser Tag where the Laser Tag part was.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: That's right, Yeah, Well you got a space next door
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: that's still open if people want to move in, they
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: could be your neighbors.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: And all sides of us.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: We have empty spaces on both sides and them been
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: trying to fill those for a while.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: And then people are like, well it has to be
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: a neighbors with a chiropractor and all the noise that
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: comes from that place.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: We're pretty quiet.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I would say it's just made its whining when you're oh,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: you're my back is sore. No I whine on my
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: way and I sound good on my way out. So now,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: what are in the last five years? Are there things
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: that were surprising to you?
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Where you go?
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: I was not expecting this, but this is a neat,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: happy thing that happened.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: I would say kind of the ups and downs, you know,
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: especially like the economy post COVID, but also people were
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: it was like kind of the economy finances, but then
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: people also are being smarter with their finances and putting
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: more money into their health than they were before, so
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: focusing more on their health. So it was kind of
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: a twofold People were cautious with starting care because of
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: you know, the financing and whatnot or insurance and stuff
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: like that, but also wanting to see chiropractors more because
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: they know it's going to help them with their health
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: and keep them healthier, especially you know, the scare of
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: being sick with COVID and all of that that came
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: with it.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: As we approach your fifth anniversary, if you had to
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: do it all over again, would you do it all
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: over again?
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it depends on the day. You're asking me today,
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: I'm asking you today. No, today, you definitely it's been
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: a fun ride. It's been crazy over five years of
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: just it seems like it was just yesterday, and it's
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: definitely a lot, but it's a lot of love.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: We love our patients. Our patients love coming into this
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: so that always makes that's the best part of the
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: day is when patients are excited to see you or
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: you know, we really help someone get through a hurdle
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: in their health that they were having, or giving hope
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: to people that didn't know that they could actually get better.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: And the thing's nice.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: You have a really good system, so there's not a
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: lot of overlap when I come in other than when
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I show up either way earlier, way late. And when
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: we have had a chance to meet other people here,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: they've always seemed to be really great people who love
• 5:04
