• 1:41
  Jake Prince: Wow.
• 1:41
  Jake Prince: Great question.
• 1:42
  Jake Prince: Me and my wife started this clinic eight years ago, here in just north of Houston, Texas.
• 1:47
  Jake Prince: In that eight years, we've seen incredible growth and incredible trials as well.
• 1:51
  Jake Prince: Owning a business is not easy nowadays.
• 1:53
  Jake Prince: It takes a lot of heart, it takes a lot of grit, it takes a lot of passion.
• 1:56
  Jake Prince: Throughout the years we were right there to COVID era too, right?
• 1:59
  Jake Prince: A couple years in business in COVID, I got kicked outta two buildings'cause I wouldn't shut down because of the heart.
• 2:05
  Jake Prince: We're here to serve God by serving others.
• 2:07
  Jake Prince: We live in a dying world.
• 2:09
  Jake Prince: A nation where I live in the US here, heart disease is on the rise.
• 2:13
  Jake Prince: Cancer's on the rise, stroke on the rise.
• 2:16
  Jake Prince: Opioid epidemic on a rise, like everything's on a rise.
• 2:19
  Jake Prince: Type one diabetes on the rise.
• 2:22
  Jake Prince: We lead the world in type one diabetes for pediatric and adults.
• 2:25
  Jake Prince: We lead type two diabetes in the world over all nations.
• 2:29
  Jake Prince: For pediatric, we're the most obese nation in the world.
• 2:32
  Jake Prince: Heart disease, all of it's on the rise.
• 2:34
  Jake Prince: Like November, we rank like number 14.
• 2:35
  Jake Prince: It's crazy.
• 2:37
  Jake Prince: And so our hearts really to educate our community and knowing how to take charge of their health, right?
• 2:42
  Jake Prince: I was told by a mentor of mine, Hey, you have to take charge of your wealth.
• 2:47
  Jake Prince: And the same goes, you have to take charge of your health, right?
• 2:50
  Jake Prince: Right there is really helping, educating others, knowing how to have the knowledge, understanding wisdom, knowing how to take charge of your health is our heartbeat.
• 2:56
  Jake Prince: And a lot of that too is we've had our own health trials, right?
• 2:59
  Jake Prince: So we're not coming from a textbook, we're coming also from experience.
• 3:02
  Jake Prince: But really what's kept us going, we're ranked top 1% in the whole world.
• 3:07
  Jake Prince: We'll cross over the$2 million mark this year easily just in cash collections.
• 3:11
  Jake Prince: Because of our heart.
• 3:12
  Jake Prince: I tell my team, Hey, we're on mission here.
• 3:14
  Jake Prince: So the heart is, we're on mission.
• 3:16
  Jake Prince: We're not showing up a bunch of clock.
• 3:17
  Jake Prince: We're not showing up to to punch in to work at a job.
• 3:21
  Jake Prince: JOB does not exist in our clinic, right?
• 3:23
  Jake Prince: We're all on mission.
• 3:25
  Jake Prince: We're here to save lives, right?
• 3:27
  Jake Prince: And I tell my team that every day, Hey, and if you're not on mission here to save lives, that's great.
• 3:31
  Jake Prince: That's cool.
• 3:32
  Jake Prince: Where do you wanna be in life?
• 3:33
  Jake Prince: Let me help you get there'cause evidently it's not here.
• 3:35
  Jake Prince: And I've had to have those conversations with my doctors, right?
• 3:38
  Jake Prince: You know, I tell my doctors, Hey, you just went to school for 10 years.
• 3:41
  Jake Prince: Guess what now?
• 3:42
  Jake Prince: Real true schooling starts now.
• 3:44
  Jake Prince: Right now.
• 3:44
  Jake Prince: You're truly, now is when the learning really starts.
• 3:47
  Jake Prince: When you get your hands on, and every case is different.
• 3:50
  Jake Prince: Everybody's different and everybody's body heals differently.
• 3:52
  Jake Prince: We have to adapt to that and figure out we're a root cause clinic.
• 3:56
  Jake Prince: And so with that, our jobs get to the root of what's causing their symptoms, whatever those symptoms may be.
• 4:01
  Jake Prince: Brain fog, headaches, migraines, can't get pregnant can't get out of bed.
• 4:04
  Jake Prince: Chronic sickness, illness, cancer, you name it.
• 4:07
  Jake Prince: Our jobs get to the root of cancer.
• 4:09
  Jake Prince: Our jobs get to the root of autoimmune.
• 4:10
  Jake Prince: We don't treat those cancers.
• 4:11
  Jake Prince: It comes down to one, having a love and a passion, for what you do and what you believe in.
• 4:17
  Jake Prince: If you don't believe in it, there's no way you're gonna make it and truly just be being on mission, looking at it as a mission.
• 4:21
  Jake Prince: This is our mission field.
• 4:22
  Jake Prince: This is our community.
• 4:23
  Jake Prince: Now, of course, we serve patients from every nation around the world, but Antarctica and I'm believing one day that patient will come in the door.
• 4:31
  Tom Jackobs: A research scientist most likely.
• 4:32
  Jake Prince: Yes, that's right.
• 4:33
  Jake Prince: But believe it.
• 4:34
  Jake Prince: The heartbeat is just the mission.
• 4:36
  Jake Prince: We believe in what we do and we know it really is saving lives.
• 4:39
  Tom Jackobs: That's awesome.
• 4:40
  Tom Jackobs: I'm curious though, where did you learn this?
• 4:43
  Tom Jackobs: Because it doesn't always come naturally to people, and especially in business, to bring the heart in and to lead your team the way that you're leading them.
• 4:52
  Jake Prince: Yeah, good question.
• 4:53
  Jake Prince: I think, nobody taught me how to run a business.
• 4:55
  Jake Prince: I didn't go to school.
• 4:56
  Jake Prince: My wife has more degrees than letters in alphabet.
• 4:58
  Jake Prince: I like to say.
• 4:59
  Jake Prince: She's the one with the MBA and the doctorate and all that other stuff.
• 5:02
  Jake Prince: So she should be the one running the businesses, managing them and such like that.
• 5:06
  Jake Prince: We have a couple different businesses, but really I learned by just being a student, I believe in what I'm doing.
• 5:12
  Jake Prince: I see the fruit of it.
• 5:13
  Jake Prince: But I love what we do and I get to see the fruit of what we do.
• 5:17
  Jake Prince: I get to see lives changed and transformed every day in our clinic.
• 5:20
  Jake Prince: People living in wheelchairs, living in beds five, 10 years, bedbound, or can't walk for a couple years.
• 5:25
  Jake Prince: And every doctor I went to needs to say, I need surgery.
• 5:27
  Jake Prince: We come in, hey, we can find out the root cause and next thing you know, they're walking in a few days or a week, life back.
• 5:32
  Jake Prince: So really it's just being a student.
• 5:35
  Jake Prince: I tell my kids I have three kids.
• 5:36
  Jake Prince: Is you gotta be a continual student of life, right?
• 5:40
  Jake Prince: And really, a lot of times I learn, we learn by failing.
• 5:43
  Jake Prince: And I tell my team, I'm okay if you fail, because that's how we're learning, right?
• 5:47
  Jake Prince: But if you keep making the same mistake now, then I have a problem, right?
• 5:51
  Jake Prince: But if you're messing up, that's okay.
• 5:52
  Jake Prince: As long as you're learning from'em.
• 5:53
  Jake Prince: I tell my kids, Hey, I want you to mess up'cause that's how you're gonna learn.
• 5:56
  Jake Prince: You don't learn by winning.
• 5:57
  Jake Prince: And so really, I've learned how we've learned to be one of the top in the top 1% of clinics in all the world, is by really just failing and continue to go back to the board and say, what are we gonna do different next time?
• 6:10
  Jake Prince: This didn't work.
• 6:10
  Jake Prince: What are we gonna do next time?
• 6:11
  Jake Prince: And keep tweaking.
• 6:13
  Jake Prince: And in the health side, like everybody's different and we're one of the very few, you'll hear us say this, but you'll hear it a lot, say a lot more.
• 6:18
  Jake Prince: As people become enlightened at this, everybody's body's different And every body feels differently, and you can't have a cookie cutter approach within our scope of medicine, of regenerative and functional medicine.
• 6:28
  Jake Prince: It doesn't work that way.
• 6:28
  Jake Prince: It's not like traditional medicine.
• 6:30
  Jake Prince: That's why the traditional medicine model's broken it sucks and it keeps getting worse and worse here in the US we invest 4 point something billion dollars a year in it, more than our own military.
• 6:39
  Jake Prince: But yet it's people get sicker and sicker.
• 6:41
  Jake Prince: Like it's common sense.
• 6:42
  Jake Prince: It doesn't work.
• 6:43
  Jake Prince: I think just continuing to be a student and learn.
• 6:45
  Jake Prince: My wife she'll study 2 hours a day, at least me, I'm learning.
• 6:48
  Jake Prince: I had a doctor.
• 6:49
  Jake Prince: I'm always being a student and I'm trying to learn how to trade stocks right now, right?
• 6:53
  Jake Prince: I see so much potential there.
• 6:54
  Jake Prince: And one of my doctors come to me, I was telling him what I made and he's man, no way.
• 6:58
  Jake Prince: And I just started too.
• 6:59
  Jake Prince: I just started managing my own finances and he's like, man, I gotta learn how to do that.
• 7:04
  Jake Prince: I was like, yeah guess what?
• 7:05
  Jake Prince: This is what I'm doing every night.
• 7:07
  Jake Prince: I'm not watching tv.
• 7:08
  Jake Prince: I'm not watching reels.
• 7:10
  Jake Prince: I'm studying, I'm learning.
• 7:11
  Jake Prince: I'm trying to craft a skillset, and I think that's all it is continuing to craft a skillset.
• 7:16
  Tom Jackobs: Yeah, keep that brain alive.
• 7:18
  Tom Jackobs: The neuroplasticity just keeping that active.
• 7:21
  Jake Prince: Absolutely.
• 7:22
  Tom Jackobs: So I'd like to go back just a little bit.
• 7:24
  Tom Jackobs: So you started Prince Health in, so eight years ago, so 2018, 17, somewhere around there.
• 7:32
  Jake Prince: I got shut down for a branding issue.
• 7:34
  Jake Prince: I had no idea.
• 7:35
  Jake Prince: This big company came out to sued me'cause I had my brand was get aligned.
• 7:39
  Jake Prince: That was our business name.
• 7:40
  Tom Jackobs: oh yeah.
• 7:41
  Jake Prince: And then there was another company in the Northeast, same name.
• 7:44
  Jake Prince: I had no idea.
• 7:46
  Tom Jackobs: Okay.
• 7:46
  Jake Prince: They come at, shut us down.
• 7:48
  Jake Prince: A bunch of laws do stuff.
• 7:48
  Jake Prince: So we had to shut down and rebrand, regroup, reset.
• 7:51
  Jake Prince: And we did then COVID hit, right?
• 7:53
  Jake Prince: So it was just after.
• 7:55
  Tom Jackobs: I was gonna say how is your name Prince Health?
• 7:57
  Tom Jackobs: That doesn't seem like a trademark infringement.
• 7:59
  Tom Jackobs: But you said it was, they get aligned.
• 8:01
  Tom Jackobs: Yeah.
• 8:02
  Tom Jackobs: Interesting.
• 8:03
  Tom Jackobs: So what was the transition, before you opened the business, what was that like, and what was the decision to open the business with you and your wife?
• 8:11
  Jake Prince: Good question.
• 8:12
  Jake Prince: So as a public speaker and I travel around speaking a lot.
• 8:15
  Jake Prince: I was also involved a lot in the nonprofit world, as well.
• 8:19
  Jake Prince: And my territory where I live is in Texas, pretty big territory.
• 8:23
  Jake Prince: Texas is a lot bigger in most countries.
• 8:26
  Tom Jackobs: Yeah, exactly.
• 8:27
  Jake Prince: That was what kind of went I was doing public speaking and sharing and working in mission work and nonprofit work and things like that.
• 8:33
  Jake Prince: And my wife had a small clinic.
• 8:36
  Jake Prince: I opened a small clinic for her.
• 8:37
  Jake Prince: Very small.
• 8:38
  Jake Prince: Just something to do.
• 8:39
  Jake Prince: We had two newborn kids and started her to work like 5 hours a week.
• 8:42
  Jake Prince: Just something to do.
• 8:43
  Jake Prince: She went to school like 12 years.
• 8:44
  Jake Prince: You gotta put that to use, right?
• 8:46
  Jake Prince: And then I was what was I doing?
• 8:48
  Jake Prince: She was being a mom and then practicing a little bit, I stepped in the clinic in 2019, in July or June to build relationships because I was planning house churches across our city through community groups and stuff, relational groups through our community and beyond.
• 9:03
  Jake Prince: And she got sick.
• 9:04
  Jake Prince: She got on a medical device where we were gonna implement in the clinic.
• 9:08
  Jake Prince: This was in July.
• 9:08
  Jake Prince: I stepped in for 5 hours a week just to build relationships and invite people to do'em, to jump in get in with us, what we're doing around the community.
• 9:15
  Jake Prince: And she went to another clinic of ours, friend of ours in a community, tried a device, they put it on her a vagus nerve.
• 9:21
  Jake Prince: It threw her into just a spiral.
• 9:23
  Jake Prince: Her body to tremors, having convulsions right there in a place that they didn't know what was going on.
• 9:27
  Jake Prince: Freaked out, went to the hospital, bodies just all over the place coming off the ground and doctors couldn't figure out what was going on.
• 9:35
  Jake Prince: Threw us into a whirlwind and I started us on a journey trying to figure out what's going on.
• 9:40
  Jake Prince: She started having uncontrollable convulsions, tremors, throwing up continually all the time.
• 9:46
  Jake Prince: She's type one diabetic, had diabetes type one diabetes since she was four, caused by a virus or a pathogen or something she might have picked up at that time that triggered the body.
• 9:53
  Jake Prince: And so that put us on a journey of trying to figure out what in the world is going on and I haven't had any idea at the same time.
• 9:59
  Jake Prince: We got kicked out of our clinic where we were in.
• 10:01
  Jake Prince: And then, so I just stepped in just to serve like, hey, I had a lot going on too, a whole lot.
• 10:06
  Jake Prince: I was very busy and that's my main priority to serve my wife.
• 10:10
  Jake Prince: So I was in the hospital a lot and I was like.
• 10:11
  Jake Prince: Trying to work with our team a little bit.
• 10:13
  Jake Prince: Hey, what do we do?
• 10:13
  Jake Prince: I'd step in, answer phone calls, reschedule appointments, trying to get a coverage, doctor come in and given I'd never had any experience with any of this, so I just started trying to, fill the gap.
• 10:22
  Jake Prince: One thing led to the next and we just kept pressing forward and my daughter, my wife would get well again and she'd step in clinic, start serving again, and boom, get hit again.
• 10:31
  Jake Prince: And as this started, what happened?
• 10:33
  Jake Prince: The trajectory has set us up to be so successful'cause we've had to learn a lot through our own health journey.
• 10:37
  Jake Prince: You know, when she got hit in 2019, she was in a hospital on average of 2 months, through september, October, November, December or not two months, two weeks out every month.
• 10:46
  Jake Prince: And that year she was in the hospital half a year.
• 10:49
  Jake Prince: This is fine.
• 10:50
  Jake Prince: We have a full clinic.
• 10:50
  Jake Prince: She's the main doctor.
• 10:51
  Jake Prince: So I had to figure out how to pivot.
• 10:54
  Jake Prince: All these challenges, right?
• 10:56
  Jake Prince: While keeping my kids and my wife and all them taking care of all them.
• 11:01
  Jake Prince: And so, 2022 was like a quarter of the year and all this, and we just kept being misdiagnosed.
• 11:07
  Jake Prince: The traditional medical route.
• 11:09
  Jake Prince: And finally we just kept learning and trying to get to the root ourselves because everywhere we go is a dead end block and just back and forth with neurological neurosurgeons and just so many different doctors and specialists around the country.
• 11:22
  Jake Prince: Just couldn't figure it out.
• 11:22
  Jake Prince: Every doctor just diagnosed their, what?
• 11:25
  Jake Prince: Their knowledge and what they thought, but it was never a root.
• 11:28
  Tom Jackobs: Right.
• 11:29
  Jake Prince: That's how we became on a journey.
• 11:31
  Jake Prince: We're on to where we are today, is just'cause of our own health journey.
• 11:34
  Tom Jackobs: Yeah.
• 11:35
  Tom Jackobs: Oh wow.
• 11:35
  Tom Jackobs: That's what a journey too and to be able to grow a business from, basically being kicked out of your clinic to a$2 million a year operation in a matter of five years.
• 11:47
  Tom Jackobs: That's unheard of, isn't it?
• 11:49
  Jake Prince: Yeah, it is very unheard of in our world.
• 11:52
  Jake Prince: A lot of people think doctors make a lot of money.
• 11:53
  Jake Prince: They don't.
• 11:55
  Jake Prince: If you're doing, if you're doing it, getting money to make money, you're in the wrong business.
• 11:59
  Jake Prince: But I think most businesses statistically fail after one year.
• 12:01
  Jake Prince: But increasing.
• 12:02
  Jake Prince: Two years, three years, four years and going against us, my wife's health
• 12:05
  Tom Jackobs: yeah.
• 12:06
  Jake Prince: now the doctor's hospital COVID.
• 12:07
  Jake Prince: And then being kicked outta our own buildings where we're serving.
• 12:11
  Jake Prince: I had, I didn't have a lot of big P&L to show that I could support getting a big commercial lease.
• 12:15
  Jake Prince: Especially where we are.
• 12:16
  Jake Prince: We live in a bubble.
• 12:18
  Jake Prince: In the Woodlands here, um, average household medium income is like 150,000, 40,000.
• 12:23
  Jake Prince: Things aren't cheap around here.
• 12:24
  Jake Prince: And it was really God's grace really.
• 12:26
  Jake Prince: I gave him all the glory.
• 12:28
  Jake Prince: That sustained us, that got us through all this, that we had people come around us.
• 12:32
  Jake Prince: I couldn't get any private lending.
• 12:33
  Jake Prince: I had people step up.
• 12:35
  Jake Prince: Private investors.
• 12:36
  Jake Prince: So I learned a lot about that.
• 12:37
  Jake Prince: Through that, that helped me out get going as well.
• 12:40
  Jake Prince: But really it's really the grace of God to be where we are today in the top 1%.
• 12:45
  Jake Prince: Under that, really.
• 12:47
  Jake Prince: But, your average clinics make only 350,000 a year, right?
• 12:50
  Tom Jackobs: Yeah.
• 12:51
  Jake Prince: Regenerative Clinic may hack half a million.
• 12:53
  Jake Prince: Is the industry average, right?
• 12:54
  Jake Prince: Chiropractic, which we do chiropractic as well, is only 350,000 a year.
• 12:58
  Jake Prince: Your wellness club didn't even make that.
• 13:00
  Tom Jackobs: Yeah.
• 13:00
  Jake Prince: I don't even know how they keep the lights on.
• 13:02
  Jake Prince: It's really, I think the whole point is God's grace in our position to serve that.
• 13:06
  Jake Prince: Going back to your first question, the heart is just willing to serve people and not not give up.
• 13:10
  Tom Jackobs: But that's at the heart of your business as well is serving with heart.
• 13:14
  Tom Jackobs: And I see that over and over with a lot of businesses that, if they're focused on the profit, they'll have issues like what you just described, and they'd be gone out because it they, their heart isn't in it.
• 13:26
  Tom Jackobs: So they're like, oh, big problem.
• 13:27
  Tom Jackobs: I'm out.
• 13:28
  Tom Jackobs: Then they'd go do something else, fail, do something else.
• 13:31
  Tom Jackobs: And it's always this kind of cycle.
• 13:33
  Tom Jackobs: But when you have a heart end into it you go into it and you're like, I'm gonna make this happen.
• 13:37
  Tom Jackobs: I'm gonna make it work.
• 13:38
  Tom Jackobs: And that definitely sounds like what you and your wife went through as well in building that business up.
• 13:43
  Tom Jackobs: Yeah.
• 13:44
  Jake Prince: I never planned on getting enough Regenerative Functional Medicine
• 13:46
  Tom Jackobs: Oh.
• 13:47
  Jake Prince: To be honest, I never thought I'd get in here, and even in here, but I got into functional regenerative side of things because.
• 13:52
  Jake Prince: I seen that's the only thing that was helping my wife, right?
• 13:54
  Jake Prince: So we're traveling around the country.
• 13:56
  Jake Prince: We go, we thought we'd go a holistic, functional route.
• 13:58
  Tom Jackobs: Yeah.
• 13:59
  Jake Prince: And that was like doing ozone therapy, IV ozone therapy open up the detox pathways, looking at a lot of genetics and different things like that.
• 14:06
  Jake Prince: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
• 14:08
  Jake Prince: And these doctors were, do 50, a hundred thousand plans to help my wife with no guarantee.
• 14:12
  Jake Prince: I was like, man, I can't, I'm not cashflow that outta my pocket, but I was like, man, if I can see what they're doing, I can replicate in my own clinic.
• 14:18
  Jake Prince: I seen what others were doing and I would just, all right, hey, they say you need 30 sessions of hyperbaric, and this is why, oxygen is the absence of disease.
• 14:25
  Jake Prince: So we've learned so much through this journey.
• 14:27
  Jake Prince: It is the cutting edge of we're on the tip of the spear, the cutting edge of the future of health, for sure.
• 14:33
  Jake Prince: I was like, okay, if we get oxygen to the source of her symptoms, it's gonna start eradicating a lot of the pathogens and viruses she had in her body.
• 14:39
  Jake Prince: So what happened was her cup was so full.
• 14:42
  Jake Prince: With viruses, Epstein Barr, Lyme disease, she had three strands of Lyme's disease.
• 14:46
  Jake Prince: She had strep.
• 14:47
  Jake Prince: She had all this toxin built up in her.
• 14:49
  Jake Prince: And so what happened was and she had type one diabetes.
• 14:54
  Jake Prince: When they put that device on her vagus nerve there, it threw her nervous system in a over shock, which just her cup was already full.
• 15:00
  Jake Prince: We just didn't know it.
• 15:02
  Jake Prince: And boom.
• 15:03
  Jake Prince: Just exploded her body and her body was not able to ever come down into like homeostasis and to really repair.
• 15:10
  Jake Prince: And so it took us years to figure this out.
• 15:13
  Jake Prince: But a lot of what she's experienced is through pathogens and viruses, which we believe is leading cause in our philosophy of cancer.
• 15:19
  Jake Prince: And a lot of, autoimmune disorders, all that is because of that.
• 15:23
  Jake Prince: They're pestilence they're plagues.
• 15:25
  Jake Prince: And I just started implementing in, okay, if this is gonna help with this pathogen, help me get to the root of this pathogen, this Epstein Barr, and I gotta do this.
• 15:33
  Jake Prince: And I said, let's try it out.
• 15:34
  Jake Prince: So I'd, get some finance and buy this piece of equipment.
• 15:36
  Jake Prince: We'd do all the protocols, learn all the protocols and procedures, and I would just start working, implementing my clinic.
• 15:42
  Jake Prince: And then people started coming in, calling us, Hey, my daughter can't get outta bed.
• 15:46
  Jake Prince: She hasn't been outta bed, she hasn't been in school in two years.
• 15:49
  Jake Prince: And we bring her in, do some lab tests.
• 15:52
  Jake Prince: Found out, oh man, you got her Epstein Barr counts are extremely high.
• 15:55
  Jake Prince: She's got Lyme disease, whatever.
• 15:57
  Jake Prince: And we're like, Hey, we're seeing incredible results with this.
• 15:59
  Jake Prince: We've seen our own life.
• 16:00
  Jake Prince: I have Epstein in my whole life as well.
• 16:02
  Jake Prince: Back in 2022, I got Epstein Barr virus.
• 16:05
  Jake Prince: Right after COVID, I had long COVID.
• 16:08
  Jake Prince: Which cause all kind of issues, health issues, long COVID.
• 16:10
  Jake Prince: COVID, It's a manmade, deal.
• 16:13
  Jake Prince: And once I had got COVID, it triggered Epstein Barr in me, which I already had, but it wasn't bothering me at all.
• 16:17
  Jake Prince: You don't wanna shake wake a bear up unless you just have to.
• 16:21
  Jake Prince: And so when I did my Epstein Barr counts went way up.
• 16:24
  Jake Prince: So I struggled a lot with fatigue.
• 16:26
  Jake Prince: I couldn't work out.
• 16:27
  Jake Prince: If I got worked out, I'd be very, it took me three days to recover.
• 16:30
  Jake Prince: I'd have hot flashes all the time, feel like I needed 10 hours of sleep.
• 16:33
  Jake Prince: Very fatigued all the time.
• 16:35
  Jake Prince: Fever like symptoms.
• 16:36
  Jake Prince: All these things that these, viruses caused.
• 16:38
  Jake Prince: I had to get to my root of my own issues and I was able to do that through what we've learned.
• 16:43
  Jake Prince: Of course doing IV Ozone on therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy different things like that.
• 16:47
  Jake Prince: Stem cells, of course we do a lot of stem cells in our clinic.
• 16:50
  Jake Prince: That's really helped regenerate the body and help and healing for sure.
• 16:52
  Jake Prince: I know that's a lot of information there.
• 16:54
  Tom Jackobs: No, that that's great.
• 16:55
  Tom Jackobs: And a couple points in there that I wanna really highlight for the audience is and this is a really great business strategy that you have.
• 17:02
  Tom Jackobs: You have the clinic, your wife is having these issues.
• 17:06
  Tom Jackobs: You see the equipment and the therapies.
• 17:08
  Tom Jackobs: So you bring that into your clinic.
• 17:10
  Tom Jackobs: So you're financing her care through the clinic in a way, and building the clinic up at the same time, getting your own experience and your own testimonials on the effectiveness of that therapy, which I think is absolutely brilliant, is what every business owner should do when they have a problem.
• 17:28
  Tom Jackobs: You, you saw a problem, you saw the solution, you brought that solution into your own clinic and help yourself, but also help others at the same time.
• 17:36
  Jake Prince: I wouldn't plan that way.
• 17:37
  Jake Prince: I didn't have a business plan, but I like the way you say it, Tom.
• 17:39
  Jake Prince: That's a good way to put it.
• 17:40
  Jake Prince: I never thought of it that way, but yeah, you're exactly right.
• 17:43
  Jake Prince: That's what happened.
• 17:43
  Jake Prince: I tell people if you wanna be in the business, just find out a problem.
• 17:47
  Jake Prince: Where's your problem at in your area, your community, or your area?
• 17:50
  Jake Prince: And just fix them, meet the problem.
• 17:52
  Jake Prince: You know I tell my daughter all the time, I'm training her up to be an entrepreneur.
• 17:55
  Jake Prince: She just turned 16.
• 17:56
  Jake Prince: We have, we all have an iPhone, right?
• 17:58
  Jake Prince: Or phone, right?
• 17:59
  Jake Prince: Whenever these things come out.
• 18:00
  Jake Prince: But when they came out, they didn't have phone cases, right?
• 18:03
  Jake Prince: So everybody's dropping'em, breaking them, busting them all the time.
• 18:06
  Jake Prince: I said, somebody got a brilliant idea.
• 18:07
  Jake Prince: I said, Hey.
• 18:09
  Jake Prince: I got a solution maybe.
• 18:10
  Jake Prince: So these phones don't break every time they're dropped and they created a phone case.
• 18:14
  Jake Prince: Like how brilliant of an idea is that now it's probably a multi-billion dollar, multi-million dollar industry.
• 18:19
  Jake Prince: 'cause somebody had a great idea, Hey, I'm gonna make a case for that so when I drop, it doesn't break.
• 18:23
  Jake Prince: Now everybody has one, right?
• 18:25
  Jake Prince: It's just a simple issue with a simple fix, right?
• 18:28
  Jake Prince: He's Hey, I can fix that.
• 18:30
  Jake Prince: And that's all I did, right?
• 18:31
  Jake Prince: What's, where's there a problem at?
• 18:32
  Jake Prince: And how do I help meet that?
• 18:34
  Jake Prince: And that's all.
• 18:34
  Jake Prince: That's all what we do.
• 18:35
  Jake Prince: What we do is all, we're just here to serve others.
• 18:38
  Tom Jackobs: That's awesome.
• 18:38
  Tom Jackobs: How old's your daughter?
• 18:39
  Tom Jackobs: 16 You said.
• 18:40
  Jake Prince: Just turned 16.
• 18:41
  Jake Prince: Yeah.
• 18:41
  Jake Prince: You can pray for me.
• 18:42
  Jake Prince: So you just started driving?
• 18:44
  Tom Jackobs: Oh my gosh.
• 18:45
  Jake Prince: Six foot, six foot, 140 pounds.
• 18:47
  Jake Prince: So it's just like.
• 18:47
  Tom Jackobs: Oh my gosh.
• 18:49
  Jake Prince: Sports and all that, so yeah, you can all kind, I'm getting into the realm now of life where these guys are always asking to date her and take her out and all this, they just don't know my guns are loaded.
• 18:57
  Tom Jackobs: Get her back.
• 18:59
  Tom Jackobs: Oh, wow.
• 19:00
  Tom Jackobs: And it is great to, to teach.
• 19:02
  Tom Jackobs: I'm sure she sees you and your wife at the clinic and the entrepreneurial spirit has to absorb into her soul and her heart at the same time.
• 19:13
  Jake Prince: Yeah, absolutely.
• 19:14
  Jake Prince: I she had a baking business this summer when she's outta school in our clinic.
• 19:19
  Jake Prince: Every week she would bring'em up here and sell'em in clinic and you know, uh, So just helping her, craft and develop a skillset, mindset of that entrepreneur, building that entrepreneur fostering that entrepreneurial spirit in her.
• 19:31
  Jake Prince: That's what I'm hoping she'll be.
• 19:32
  Jake Prince: Who knows?
• 19:33
  Jake Prince: I'm gonna support her whatever decision she makes, of course.
• 19:35
  Jake Prince: But I'm trying to foster her into, to doing more.
• 19:38
  Tom Jackobs: Yeah.
• 19:39
  Tom Jackobs: Yeah.
• 19:39
  Tom Jackobs: Oh that's awesome.
• 19:41
  Tom Jackobs: One, one other question here.
• 19:42
  Tom Jackobs: So looking back at all the different failures that you've had with the business, which one do you think shaped you the most?
• 19:52
  Jake Prince: All the failures I've had in the business, what shaped me the most?
• 19:56
  Jake Prince: That's a great question.
• 19:58
  Jake Prince: I found out, I just didn't know.
• 20:00
  Jake Prince: Nobody taught me how to run a business or anything.
• 20:03
  Jake Prince: Is really having a team around you has more knowledge and understanding than you do in areas is incredibly like by far invaluable, right?
• 20:12
  Jake Prince: Like having a good tax attorney, having a great business attorney in your pocket, having a great accountant, bookkeeper.
• 20:18
  Jake Prince: You know, I used to try to keep my own books and man, I sucked at it and I hated it.
• 20:22
  Jake Prince: I was like, and so just finding those putting those people around you with greater skill sets that you don't have And more knowledge and understanding that you don't have around you to help you, move the ship in the right direction together, with everyone on the same page, playing off the same sheet of music is incredible.
• 20:40
  Jake Prince: And I didn't know that time and so I made a lot of mistakes, financial mistakes and a lot of different things just because, I wasn't inviting others to come join on Mission with us.
• 20:49
  Tom Jackobs: Yeah.
• 20:49
  Tom Jackobs: Yeah.
• 20:49
  Jake Prince: Like your team, Hey, I'm here in the States, your team's quite some ways away, but we're still the same team on mission.
• 20:55
  Jake Prince: Yep.
• 20:56
  Jake Prince: That's what I love.
• 20:56
  Jake Prince: I have team members, my HR director she doesn't live in my area.
• 21:00
  Jake Prince: She lives in another state actually.
• 21:02
  Jake Prince: I have other team members that live in other states that do stuff virtually like.
• 21:06
  Jake Prince: But we're all on mission, all on the same team.
• 21:08
  Jake Prince: And I think that's what it's all about, is knowing that we're all on the same team and working together for a greater cause.
• 21:16
  Tom Jackobs: Yeah and that, that's a great point because entrepreneurship, a lot of times people think that they need to do everything by themselves, and that's such a bad, bad advice number one.
• 21:27
  Tom Jackobs: If that is advice that people give, but it's also just shortsighted as well, because we can't do everything by ourself if we're gonna scale and help other people.
• 21:35
  Tom Jackobs: So yeah, having, yeah, having a great team around you is super, super important.
• 21:40
  Jake Prince: Yeah.
• 21:41
  Jake Prince: And I think like you've been with me, we've been together for a while, so we've grown a lot, together.
• 21:44
  Jake Prince: Just since we've been working, I've grown, 36% average a year.
• 21:48
  Tom Jackobs: Yeah.
• 21:49
  Jake Prince: And your team's been incredibly helpful in helping meet a lot of those gaps and being on the front lines with us.
• 21:56
  Tom Jackobs: Thanks.
• 21:56
  Jake Prince: Even my team's in the office, how your team's able to always be available on the weekends and nights, and patients may need something.
• 22:02
  Jake Prince: Somebody is there to be listening ear for them and help guide and direct'em.
• 22:06
