Transcript
- 0:14Welcome to Networking Unleashed, Building Profitable
- 0:18Connections, the show that takes the guesswork
- 0:22out of building relationships that move the needle.
- 0:26I'm your host, Michael Foreman, and today we're
- 0:29stepping into the world of note investing, where
- 0:32the right connections can mean the difference
- 0:35between a dead deal and a career -defining win.
- 0:39But today's conversation isn't just about real
- 0:42estate paper and portfolios. It's about how to
- 0:46network when you're really not naturally outgoing.
- 0:50What do you do when you walk into a room full
- 0:53of people and don't know a soul? How do you create
- 0:58real relationships that drive results without
- 1:01being salesy or loud? My guest today has a built
- 1:06-in name. in the note investing space, not by
- 1:11chasing every handshake, by mastering the power
- 1:15of intentional, authentic networking. If you've
- 1:19ever felt overwhelmed by networking events, unsure
- 1:24of what to say, or just want to sharpen your
- 1:27strategy, this episode is for you. I'd like to
- 1:32welcome to the podcast, Nathan Turner, and he's
- 1:36an expert in his field. And I don't want to say
- 1:39more than that because I don't want to mess anything
- 1:41up. Welcome to the podcast and just give us a
- 1:45little bit about your background. Yeah. Thank
- 1:47you so much for having me. This is great. And
- 1:49as you're doing your intro there, I just think
- 1:52back in my mind of all the different conferences.
- 1:55We'll get into that. But anyway, we'll get into
- 1:58that. So I've been a note investor for the last
- 2:0015 years. And probably most people listening
- 2:03to this have never heard of that. And that's
- 2:05fine. I hadn't either. It's a relatively small
- 2:07niche. What it means is I buy residential mortgages.
- 2:12So I'm in the real estate world -ish. All of
- 2:16the mortgages, of course, are backed by the real
- 2:18estate. But I'm not actually buying the real
- 2:21estate. I'm buying the loan attached to the real
- 2:24estate. So I am in a way I'm concerned with the
- 2:27real estate itself, but ultimately I'm just buying
- 2:30the loan and I step into the role as the bank.
- 2:34That's great. All right. And coming from, I have
- 2:37a mortgage background, so I really, I know what
- 2:41you're talking about and I can feel your pain,
- 2:43but let's see if we get into that during these
- 2:46questions. So let me start out by saying in the
- 2:49world of note investing. What role has networking
- 2:53played in getting deals, building partnerships,
- 2:56or expanding your reputation? That is key. It's
- 3:03hard to overstate how important that is. Because
- 3:06it's such a small niche, it really, more than
- 3:10any business that I've ever encountered, it is
- 3:12so much about relationships. So it really matters,
- 3:15A, who you know, and then B, who knows you. And
- 3:19so that just makes such a huge difference. I've
- 3:22been able to have deals come to me simply because
- 3:25of the relationship where literally the person
- 3:28on the phone says, hey, I'm giving you a call.
- 3:31I know that this is something that you typically
- 3:32look for. This is what you're looking at. These
- 3:35are the last few in this portfolio that I'm trying
- 3:38to clean out. I called you first because I know
- 3:40that you're the guy that can get it done. And
- 3:43we've done deals before in the past. So are you
- 3:46interested in this? And I get really great pricing
- 3:48and all these different things simply because
- 3:51of the relationship, not because of anything
- 3:53else, but relationship number one. Absolutely.
- 3:58And today's day, listen, I base everything on
- 4:02networking and the relationships that I've built.
- 4:07you have to turn it around a little bit because
- 4:10you don't, you can't not trying to establish
- 4:12your network, trying to establish whose network
- 4:15you are in. Well, that's if you look, yeah. If
- 4:19you look at it from that point of view, because
- 4:21anybody could expand their network, but you can,
- 4:25you have to look at it and say, okay, whose network
- 4:27am I a part of? And that's a whole different
- 4:29way of looking at it. Yeah. Yeah. When you walk
- 4:34into a room full of people, what's your personal
- 4:37strategy and what's going through your mind?
- 4:41It is shifted a little bit over time, recognizing
- 4:44that this business is all about relationships.
- 4:47I remember the first note conference I went to,
- 4:50I totally overwhelmed. I don't know a soul. I
- 4:54don't know anybody in the room, but I went in
- 4:57with the goal of, I want to hand out 20 business
- 5:00cards. And that was it. That was like the number.
- 5:04I didn't want anything else. That was it. I want
- 5:06to hand out 20 business cards. And for me, that's
- 5:08a big deal. I'd rather, most people, we would
- 5:11rather just not talk to anybody and stay in our
- 5:13little corner. But that was me is I want to meet
- 5:16people. I know that's a big part of this business.
- 5:18So I'm going to hand out 20 business cards. Today,
- 5:21that's shifted a little bit because now I have
- 5:25become known in the industry. And so people often
- 5:27will come up to me and talk. So now I'm looking
- 5:31before I ever even go to the conference, almost
- 5:34always. In fact, I will look at, see who's attending.
- 5:37Is there somebody there that either I know that
- 5:41I need to talk to, to be able to further whatever
- 5:44business prospect or anything like that? Or B,
- 5:48is it somebody that I don't know that I would
- 5:49really like to know? Because I think that we
- 5:51can do something as far as working together in
- 5:53the future. So it shifted a little bit. Now I'm
- 5:56much more strategic about it in the beginning.
- 5:59Just anybody I just want to introduce myself.
- 6:01That's actually a very good way of thinking about
- 6:04it. So when you go to these networking events
- 6:08and you look at who is going to be there, do
- 6:11you touch them on, let's say, social media? Do
- 6:14you reach out and say, hi, how you doing? I see
- 6:17you're going to XYZ conference. So am I. I'd
- 6:22love to meet up with you. Yeah, for sure. Either
- 6:25on social media or the oftentimes the conference
- 6:28will have whatever app they're using. So there's
- 6:30a way that you can start those conversations
- 6:31before. I highly recommend doing that because
- 6:34that you can start that relationship before you
- 6:36even set foot in the door. Yeah, absolutely.
- 6:39And I ever since the pandemic. I feel that networking
- 6:43is more relationships instead of transactional.
- 6:46And with beforehand, I have three widgets. I
- 6:49want to sell them for $2 and you want to buy
- 6:51them. It's very transactional. And the more,
- 6:54the merrier you're building a customer list.
- 6:57Now you are building a relationship list and
- 7:01that list is much smaller, but much more powerful,
- 7:05much more. Totally agree. Yep. As someone who
- 7:10identifies. as more introverted? And what are
- 7:14your go -to moves to make strong connections
- 7:18without burning out? Yeah. Like I say, I would
- 7:24much rather just stay at home and watch a movie.
- 7:26That's my idea of a good time most of the time.
- 7:28But really for me, it comes down to just the
- 7:31realization, this is how the business is done.
- 7:34You have to get to know people. And I know that's
- 7:36uncomfortable in there. But so when I go into
- 7:40the room, For example, I'll walk in and it's
- 7:43breakfast and they're serving something out there.
- 7:45Oh, I would like nothing more than just to take
- 7:48my pastry and then just retreat into some unknown
- 7:51corner in the darkened room somewhere else. But
- 7:55I purposely go up to either one other individual
- 7:58or two or three even. And I force myself to just
- 8:01be like, no, this is how it's done. You can do
- 8:04this. 20 seconds of courage. Go. And I go up
- 8:07and, hi, how are you guys doing? And the reality
- 8:10is. I don't know that I've ever had it where
- 8:13people say, ah, you're not welcome here. You
- 8:15know what I mean? That doesn't actually happen.
- 8:17People are more than happy to chat with you.
- 8:20Yes, they are. And do you have a few icebreakers
- 8:24that you can share with my audience? Like when
- 8:26you walk up to the people, what do you say to
- 8:29them? Generally, I'll walk up and I'll just say,
- 8:32hey, simple stuff. Is this your first time here?
- 8:36How do you know the organizer? What do you do
- 8:38for work? Oftentimes, it's asking them about
- 8:40themselves. That tends to, everybody likes to
- 8:43give some kind of an introduction. If they don't,
- 8:46maybe you don't want to talk to them anyway.
- 8:48But any kind of just, you know, gosh, you can
- 8:51even talk about the weather if you need to. And
- 8:53be like, man, it's sure hot out there. Even that.
- 8:56Anything to crack the ice. Except in Canada,
- 8:58it doesn't get that hot. I always say, whenever
- 9:01I go to a networking event, there's always somebody
- 9:03staying next to the wall or staying apart from
- 9:07everybody. And I always try to be the person
- 9:11that walks up to them and breaks the ice. And
- 9:15you don't start talking business. That's the
- 9:17world's worst thing you can do. So when you walk
- 9:19up to them, comment on their blazer. on their
- 9:22shoes. I say, wow, that's a neat place. Or where'd
- 9:25you get that from? Or those? Wow, I like those
- 9:28shoes. Yeah, something to get them to start talking.
- 9:31And when they start talking, obviously, the walls
- 9:34come down. And yeah, where are you from? Yeah,
- 9:38you know, anything just to keep them talking.
- 9:41And then after a while that they're having a
- 9:43good time. Now, I'm an extrovert. So it's easier
- 9:48for me to do that than you or somebody else,
- 9:52like an introvert. But that's always a good philosophy.
- 9:56Okay, so can you share a time when a single connection
- 10:01opened a major door for you in your note investing
- 10:05career? Oh, absolutely. Gosh, if all else fails,
- 10:11if you're going to a conference, there's going
- 10:12to be vendors out there. Vendors literally paid.
- 10:15to be there to talk to people. So at the very
- 10:17least you can talk to them. I can't tell you
- 10:20how many times, and I make sure I make a point
- 10:22to talk to every vendor every time I go to anywhere,
- 10:25because you never know. I can't tell you how
- 10:27many times I've started a conversation. Oh, you
- 10:29do what? Is that the service provider? Oh, interesting.
- 10:33And that is literally something that I have been
- 10:35looking for, something that I need. Anything
- 10:38from somebody who's got deals for sale, somebody
- 10:40who's got money that they're looking to place,
- 10:42anything like that over and over again. It's
- 10:45hard to even pick one specific one. Let me pick
- 10:47one. So I met a gentleman, this was years ago,
- 10:51and met him as we were going off to lunch. And
- 10:55same kind of thing, just randomly. I just started
- 10:58a conversation. Hey, where are you from? He had
- 11:00an accent. So I asked him about that. He's Austrian.
- 11:03We started chatting about this and that. Over
- 11:06the course of getting to know each other and
- 11:07everything else, he ended up investing a significant
- 11:10amount of money with me. And we've been business
- 11:13partners for many years since then. Very simple.
- 11:16We started going to lunch and then all of a sudden
- 11:18it turns into a whole lot of money that we're
- 11:21both making now. It doesn't take a whole lot
- 11:24for you to be nice, be nice, be open. Listen,
- 11:28if you're getting a bad vibe, I do everything
- 11:29with vibes. If you're getting a bad vibe, you
- 11:32can cut that conversation short and go your separate
- 11:35way. But more times than not, when you're speaking
- 11:38with him and you say, look, I'm going to, you
- 11:41want to join me? And that starts a whole conversation.
- 11:45And you're right. You never know where it's going
- 11:47to take you. You happen to be fortunate where
- 11:50you've built a relationship with this guy and
- 11:53you've made money. But even if it's just a friend
- 11:57or somebody else you could talk to or something
- 11:59else, it's always good to extend that hand or
- 12:02extend that olive branch to go. Definitely. Yeah.
- 12:06What would you tell someone who walks into a
- 12:09room thinking? I don't belong here. I've certainly
- 12:15done that. And recently, in fact, so last year
- 12:18I was at a conference where they were talking
- 12:21about it as a different kind of loan. It's called
- 12:23a DSCR loan based on income of a property. And
- 12:27it's not in my wheelhouse. It's not something
- 12:30I typically do. I was actually asked to be a
- 12:33moderator of one of the panels there. This is
- 12:35not my world. So I definitely felt like a fish
- 12:38out of water. But you know what? It's still,
- 12:41it's related enough. And at the base level, we're
- 12:44all humans. We're all people. We're all just
- 12:47trying to make our way in the world. Base level.
- 12:50We can talk about family. We can talk about kids.
- 12:52We can talk about issues we're having with our
- 12:54kids at school. Whatever it is, there's all kinds
- 12:57of things that you can relate upon, no matter
- 12:59what. So I understand feeling like you're the
- 13:02fish out of water and you're way out of your
- 13:04league or over your head or anything like that.
- 13:07At the end of the day, they're just people just
- 13:09like you. So at the very least, you can just
- 13:12talk about people things. Absolutely. And I remember
- 13:16something called F -O -R -M, family, occupation,
- 13:22recreation, and a certain message that you can
- 13:26get onto the same level as him because people
- 13:29love to talk about themselves, about their family.
- 13:32And I used to coach. baseball, 16 years, I was
- 13:35three years as an umpire. So if I get them onto
- 13:38that youth sports level, then I'm golden. And
- 13:42they love to talk about their kids. And so they're
- 13:45talking, talking, talking, talking. And so what's
- 13:48happening is that that wall is coming down, that
- 13:51trust level is going up. And then that opens
- 13:54up a whole bunch of other things. But one thing
- 13:58I always do is after I've built up that trust
- 14:02value, And I turn it into their occupation because
- 14:08I have to know what you do. I say, you know what?
- 14:12I like you and I like the way you do business.
- 14:15How can I make you more successful? How can I
- 14:19be a good referral source for you? And you're
- 14:24usually blown away by that. You say, Michael,
- 14:26I don't even know what you do yet. And I said,
- 14:28that's fine. You can go through the exchanging
- 14:30of the business cards and the follow -up. I have
- 14:32a whole separate. secret sauce for follow -up.
- 14:35But to get you to that point, you're giving,
- 14:39not getting. You always go to a networking event
- 14:42where you think to give, what can I do for this
- 14:45person? Not what can they do for me? It was called
- 14:49the giver's game. Okay. So how do you follow
- 14:54up after networking events in a way that feels
- 14:57natural and build real relationships? It could
- 15:02be a number of things. If it's somebody that
- 15:04I really want to, something that maybe we've
- 15:07identified that we can work together on, I'll
- 15:09see if we can schedule a phone call. And a Zoom
- 15:11call is great. I prefer that if we can make that
- 15:13happen. But at the very least, it's an email.
- 15:17And I'm careful about this because I see this
- 15:20fall off so often, where you've met all these
- 15:23people, you've got this pile of business cards
- 15:25or whatever you've got, and then you never talk
- 15:28to them again. man, what a shame you've just
- 15:31made these connections and then it's just going
- 15:33to nothing. So at the bare minimum, they get
- 15:35an email just saying, Hey, it was great to meet
- 15:37you. Let's see if we can do something together
- 15:39in the future. Something related to the conversation.
- 15:41What I do actually is on any, I prefer business
- 15:44cards. I know a lot of people are going digital
- 15:46these days. I still prefer the card because I
- 15:50will take that card and then On the backside,
- 15:53I'll write some notes about our conversation
- 15:55or about who that person is or something like
- 15:57that so that I have something to refer to later.
- 15:59So when it's just like that digital beep, there's
- 16:04no opportunity to put any kind of notes in there.
- 16:07And so I definitely prefer the cards. But anyway,
- 16:09I'm old school. No, that is perfect. And that's
- 16:12one of the things that I teach is on the back
- 16:15of the business card, I add just a few things.
- 16:17I add today's date. the name of the function
- 16:21and something you spoke about yeah and then i
- 16:25have a whole series of emails from the first
- 16:28night to the next morning to three days later
- 16:32and so on so forth but the most important way
- 16:35i'm just going to give this to you right yeah
- 16:38if you meet somebody you really want to send
- 16:40them an email and say thank you for meeting with
- 16:42me the next morning send them a handwritten thank
- 16:47you note Go out and buy. I have 50 of them in
- 16:51my briefcase. A thank you card. I want to thank
- 16:56you for meeting with me. Had a great time. We
- 16:59spoke about XYZ. Nathan. And put your business
- 17:02card in it and send it off. Because think about
- 17:06what they are thinking. In three days, because
- 17:10that's what I figured the mail's going to take,
- 17:12right? In three days, they're going to receive
- 17:15this note card from you. as a thank you open
- 17:19it up and it's not a bill it's not an invoice
- 17:22it's not anything else it's just a thank you
- 17:25it's handwritten it's personalized so they it
- 17:29just took you from here to here yeah yeah not
- 17:35even trying so that's yep just put a little little
- 17:39notation down and if you start doing that every
- 17:43one of my clients Every single one of them, I
- 17:46have them do that in their follow -up technique.
- 17:49I have a stack of thank you cards because they
- 17:52make them all send me one. Okay. And I have a
- 17:55stack like this big. Yeah. And I want you to
- 17:59write me a thank you card the same way as you
- 18:01would write one of your clients. Yeah. And the
- 18:04next week we would discuss it. So that's a little
- 18:07thing. Yeah. Yep. I have a whole secret sauce
- 18:12on. Follow up from the very first one to the
- 18:17last one, giving them an out, not giving them
- 18:19an out and everything, but that's a whole different
- 18:21thing. Okay. So how do you balance networking
- 18:24for opportunity with networking for authenticity?
- 18:29And are they the same in your view? Ooh, great
- 18:34question. I have adopted the mindset that opportunities
- 18:38everywhere. And so I would rather. Create a relationship
- 18:43first. And if an opportunity comes, great. And
- 18:46again, so often it comes out of somewhere I never
- 18:49would have thought of. So here's an example.
- 18:51So I met somebody, this was before I even started
- 18:54in real estate. We had a Curves franchise. So
- 18:57it was a gym for women. Met somebody who said
- 19:00that they had cleaning products that they could
- 19:02offer that we could use at our gym. I said, great,
- 19:05let's have a meeting. We'll set it up and we'll
- 19:07talk. In the course of the conversation, she
- 19:10was pitching me on Melaleuca. It was a multi
- 19:13-level marketing thing. Yeah, which is great.
- 19:17I didn't have any interest in that. My father
- 19:18-in -law already did that. So if I was going
- 19:19to join, it was going to be under him. But in
- 19:22the course of that conversation, she said something
- 19:24about real estate being really hot in Saskatoon,
- 19:28Saskatchewan. And if you don't know where that
- 19:31is or you don't know how to say it, that's fine.
- 19:33Most people don't. And I thought, really? Because
- 19:36my dad was born there. I'd been there. And it's
- 19:39a small city, barely a city. And it's in the
- 19:42middle of the prairies, nothing around it. Really?
- 19:46Saskatoon? You're sure? So actually, it intrigued
- 19:49me. So I locked that away. And that was it. She
- 19:52just had that one line. And I thought, really?
- 19:53Huh. And it was later that I had the thought
- 19:56to call a friend who lived out in Saskatoon and
- 19:59said, hey, so tell me about real estate. And
- 20:00he's like, you mean Saskaboom. And I'm like,
- 20:02you're kidding me. And this is back 05, 06. And
- 20:06sure enough, things were going nuts there. That
- 20:09started me on real estate. So this meeting that
- 20:12we're having about cleaning products that ended
- 20:13up being a Melaleuca pitch on something completely
- 20:16different that had nothing to do with real estate
- 20:19whatsoever. But one line. set me on a path that
- 20:23has now served me for the last 20 years. And
- 20:26all because of a conversation I was willing to
- 20:28have with somebody, just building a relationship,
- 20:30not looking for an opportunity, but ended up
- 20:33happening. You know, that should show you something
- 20:36that first of all, you never know where it's
- 20:38going to come from, but your mind, your mindset
- 20:42was open to. any and all opportunities that are
- 20:47out there. So if you weren't, if you didn't have
- 20:50that mindset, you wouldn't have picked up on
- 20:53that. You would have just gone ahead and said,
- 20:55oh, this is another Melaleuca thing. And thank
- 20:57you, but no, thank you. But I was a Melaleuca
- 21:00agent myself. Unless your mind was open to it,
- 21:03you would have gone right past it. But it's because
- 21:06you've changed and your mindset was open. You
- 21:10said, oh, okay, let me. Check on that. You checked
- 21:13on that. And of course it set your path. So it
- 21:16was a very good thing you listened. Yeah. Okay.
- 21:20What's, I love this question. What's the biggest
- 21:23networking mistake you've made or seen others
- 21:27make in this industry? Ah, interesting. No, that's
- 21:34a great question. I think that probably the biggest
- 21:37mistake I would say is that As much as we're
- 21:41all looking to expand, we're all looking to see
- 21:43what comes next and all that. I think that if
- 21:47it's all about, if it feels like you're after
- 21:50something, then it's disingenuous and it doesn't
- 21:53work and it repels people in a way. And so I
- 21:58think that's a big one is hitting so hard with
- 22:01trying to pursue whatever opportunity that you
- 22:04have in your mind. I think that can really. have
- 22:08people stand off and put their guard up and say,
- 22:11eh, not that guy. I'm not so sure. I think that's
- 22:14a big one. Yeah. Let's bring us back to the beginning
- 22:17of the podcast where we said a giver's game,
- 22:19where you should think to give before you get.
- 22:23And the biggest mistake, now I was in a mortgage
- 22:26for 12 years. I made all the mistakes that you
- 22:29had to make. I learned by the school of hard
- 22:32knocks. I learned what not to do because I did
- 22:36them. And the first thing that I did whenever
- 22:40I went to a networking event was I opened my
- 22:42mouth. I started to talk and I started to see
- 22:46how many people I could get in front of for me
- 22:50to tell what I'm doing and what I can get from
- 22:52them. And that is 100 % the wrong thing to do.
- 22:57Yeah. The first thing you do is shut up. You
- 23:00don't say a word. You listen and you see what
- 23:03you can do to give. And that takes all the pressure
- 23:07off your shoulders, all the pressure. And all
- 23:10of a sudden you realize that if you do that enough,
- 23:13what goes around comes around and you'll get
- 23:16your opportunity. Definitely. Yeah. So, you know,
- 23:19listen, as long as you have the right mindset,
- 23:22it will happen. It will definitely happen. Yeah.
- 23:26Okay. So. What are one to two questions you use
- 23:31to spark meaningful conversations quickly with
- 23:34someone you just met? One that I like is, so
- 23:39tell me about yourself. That's a very super open
- 23:43-ended and they can take it wherever they want.
- 23:46If they want to start talking about, I was born
- 23:48here on a stormy night, that's great. But if
- 23:51they want to start going into business right
- 23:53away, sure. But tell me about yourself. I like
- 23:56that one a lot because it's just really open
- 23:58-ended and people can take it wherever they want.
- 24:01You can actually see where their head is at because
- 24:05if they immediately start talking business, they
- 24:09don't have that giver's gain attitude. They don't
- 24:11have to see what they can do for somebody else.
- 24:13They're all about themselves. So that helps you
- 24:17take a look at them saying, okay, I don't want
- 24:19to do business with them. Or whatever the case
- 24:22may be. But that's probably a very good question
- 24:24just to see where they go. Yeah. So it's very
- 24:28good. Okay. So let's bring this podcast full
- 24:32circle. Yeah. For the introverts listening who
- 24:36feel drained by traditional networking, what's
- 24:39your version of doing it on your terms? On my
- 24:45terms? For me, it's about the goal setting and
- 24:47it's just get out there and meet people. And
- 24:50maybe try, as much as you're trying to accomplish
- 24:54a certain set of goals or something like that,
- 24:56or if you're trying to have a certain kind of
- 24:58conversation, I think let go of that and just
- 25:02relax, talk to people. And as you talk to people,
- 25:06you'll find the right ones and the conversations
- 25:09will come around to whatever it is you're trying
- 25:11to talk about or you'd like to talk about, but
- 25:14just talk to people. Don't try to talk to prospects.
- 25:16Don't try to talk to targets or something like
- 25:18that. Talk to people. And then all that comes
- 25:21back to you. You're absolutely right. Absolutely
- 25:25100 % correct. Because you always have to, like
- 25:29I said, take it from the other person's perspective.
- 25:33Listen, either their kids got sick in the morning,
- 25:37they had to do something at school, or their
- 25:39brains could be somewhere else. You don't know,
- 25:42but you have to ease into that. and make them,
- 25:45it's the same as talking on Zoom. They say, oh,
- 25:48Zoom, you can talk to anybody. You know what?
- 25:51I have to think Nathan is a person behind the
- 25:54camera and you have a thousand other things going
- 25:58on except for doing this dopey podcast, right?
- 26:02So you can do anything, but I have to remember
- 26:04that you are a person. If you're meeting a, if
- 26:07you're interviewing somebody or something, you
- 26:09have to turn that camera around and say, wait
- 26:12a minute. That's a person. Let me see what they're
- 26:15all about. Yeah. Nathan, I can probably go on
- 26:18for two more hours just speaking to you about
- 26:21all of this because we seem to be on the same
- 26:24page with 99 % of it. I would venture to say
- 26:27100 % of it, but that's going a little bit too
- 26:30much. If somebody wants to get hold of you, either
- 26:34for the note investing or just to talk to you
- 26:38or ask you a question, what's the best way to
- 26:40get hold of you? Best thing to do is go to my
- 26:43website, earnestinvesting .com. There's the contact
- 26:46me thing there. That's really the simplest way
- 26:49is just to get that going and then send me a
- 26:52message. And like you said, I'm more than happy
- 26:54to talk to people about business, about life,
- 26:57whatever. I'm not too complicated. I make a concerted
- 27:01effort to be simple. So if you want to just talk
- 27:03about simple things, great. If you just want
- 27:05to meet, awesome. If you want to talk more about
- 27:07business things, fantastic. We'll do that too.
