• 1:55
  SPEAKER_00: Anything you've been grinding in the trenches with?
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_00: I saw something on F3 because you're the F3 guy.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_00: I think you are.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_00: Are you still doing F3?
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_02: No.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, you don't do F3 anymore?

• 2:11
  SPEAKER_02: start time.
• 2:11
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, you gotta go around.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_02: So yeah, so it logistically it's just tough because like I would like to have a shower after the fact.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_02: And so if there was a bathroom here, it would probably be or like a shower here, it'd probably be something I could do.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_02: But um Braden has one.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_02: I hit, I guess I could hit him.
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_02: The um on Monday, I did a 5k.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, and so and then last night I was so like I've been dealing with plantar fasciitis in my left foot, like bottom of my left ankle.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and so um I did F3 and just have dealt with it for like the better part of a year, and so I need like now my protocol is heal while also upping my cardiovascular fitness because I haven't because I've been doing F3, which if you don't know, stands for F3's uh Fitness Fellowship in Faith men's workout group that's free.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_02: They're all around the country, actually all around the world.
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we've both been a part of it.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and so awesome, uh awesome group.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_02: It's always free, pure led in a rotating fashion, and so just like boot camp style workouts with cinder blocks and uh f3nation.com.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, and so uh I did that for the better, like really for a year, about at least three days a week.
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_00: And what was your nickname?
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_02: Uh shingles.
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_00: Yep, my name, my nickname was Agent Brown.
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_02: And then they started calling me shin splints when I said I started working here.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_02: And so uh so um now I'm just trying to get back on my running routine.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_02: Uh I got some supplements ordered to to help with that a little bit.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_02: And now it's uh can I recover my ankle to where I don't have that nagging issue that I have to deal with anymore while also up in my cardiovascular fitness.
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_02: And so um I'm I'm taking it light on the miles and nursing the like actually being intentional on stretching and actually recovering on that.
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_02: And then the game, the the game plan is to hit another ultra uh in 2027 of some kind.
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_02: And um I got I I actually randomly ran into a friend at Big Texas Ultra who lives in Austin and he runs all the time.
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_02: I I've ran some miles at uh uh Garner State Park with him.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_02: Uh we did like a half marathon out there, right?
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_02: Beautiful place.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_02: And uh so he invited me, he was like, I think we might we might do cowboy yeti together.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_02: So I'll kind of have that penciled in.
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and then he's also trying to get me to sign up for awesome marathon again.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_02: That was my first marathon, but that's in February.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_02: So I got some I got some scheduling happening, yeah, some planning.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_02: I'm trying to be intentional on it.
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_00: Um did you see uh it's a little bit off topic, but it is a current topic.
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_00: But did you see uh you ever watched that 60-minute episode of Donald Trump?
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_00: That one that just came out a few days ago.
• 5:19
  SPEAKER_02: I watched like 10 minutes of it, maybe, and then I've I've seen news about it.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_00: Um yeah, I kept seeing a bunch of clips.
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_00: I went and watched it, and uh there's some interesting stuff, man.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_00: So one interesting, interesting thing, because we talk about faith on this podcast that I want to talk about real quick.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_00: Um, the interviewer asked Donald Trump.
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_00: He said uh basically he was like, How do you think you'll get into heaven?
• 5:44
  SPEAKER_00: And um, or he said, Do you think you'll get into heaven?
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_00: And Trump, Donald Trump's like, Well, I would think so.
• 5:51
  SPEAKER_00: And then he brought up the idea of like, well, the Bible says, you know, you to love your enemies, um and uh you know, show them grace and forgive them.
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_00: And the interviewer asked him, if if God asked you to love them to get into heaven, would you?
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_00: And Donald Trump said, If I have to be genuinely honest, I couldn't.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_00: I couldn't love my enemies.
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_00: If I had to be genuinely honest, I hate them.
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he said that.
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I know.
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_00: Did you watch that?
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_02: I saw a clip.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and um old uh Billy Graham's son, I forgot his name, last name Graham, though, put out a message on online saying something that saying like basically telling Donald Trump, man, you need to repent and put your faith in Jesus if you want to get in heaven.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_00: And uh I thought that was pretty cool of old Graham, Graham Jr.
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and I mean it's just so wild to think that I mean he's appealed to Christians in a way, uh, or like like made appeals, I guess is the better way to say it.
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_02: Like he hasn't appealed to everybody, just the way his personality is.
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, but he's made appeals and he professes faith in God, but the way that he answered those questions were not secular, it was secular answers a Christian would would answer them.
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he um which is honestly not surprising to me necessarily, but at the same time, you think after all this time, you know, somebody got into his earbud.
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he um yeah, he's uh I don't believe Donald Trump's uh a Christian, and I based off the fruit I've seen and the way he talks, I don't believe he'll inherit the kingdom of God um based on scripture.
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_00: Um and the Bible is very clear, and I even saw this in the comments, and I was like, Yeah, it's very true.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_00: The Bible's very clear if you don't forgive others, God won't forgive you.
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_00: And uh forgiveness is a choice, even if you don't want to forgive, you still have to, because that's part of following Christ.
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_00: You have to forgive people even though they deserve whatever.
• 8:11
  SPEAKER_00: And so um that was the first thing that popped in my mind was like, hey man, like you're with that way of thinking, you're not gonna going to enter the kingdom of God, uh, you know, with with that heart posture.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_00: According to scripture, it's very clear.
• 8:30
  SPEAKER_00: Uh if you forgive others, my father in heaven will forgive you.
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_00: Jesus says that, right?
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_00: Um the greatest commandment of them all is love God and love others, and uh scripture's very clear on that.
• 8:47
  SPEAKER_00: And uh even Sermon on the Mount, you know, love your enemies, bless them.
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_00: Um and so this idea of the secular thought of oh, I'm gonna always hate my enemies, I'll never forgive them.
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_00: There's a lot of uh entrapment with that.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_00: But it was just kind of sad to see.
• 9:04
  SPEAKER_00: I was like, you know, there's this guy, he does support Christians, but he just he doesn't know not, he doesn't know the Bible or nothing, man.
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_00: He's what I he's what I call a cultural Christian.
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_00: You know, you got you got people who are Christians culturally because they grew up either in a Christian household or it's an American thing, so you just kind of take the title and throw it on to your life, even though you don't actually live it.
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_00: And um, so uh he's what I call a cultural Christian, someone who says, Yeah, I'm a Christian, I believe in Jesus, but they don't actually follow the scriptures.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_00: And then uh you got real Christian, not a cultural Christian, but a real Christian who actually lives it out by the fruit of their life.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_00: Jesus says, You will know my disciples by their fruit.
• 9:47
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, what's somebody's fruits?
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_00: Fruits are things that you produce.
• 9:52
  SPEAKER_00: What can a human produce?
• 9:53
  SPEAKER_00: You can produce words and actions.
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_00: And so by the word things you say and the actions you do, you can actually display whether and and look at what someone says and does and see that they're a Christian just from that alone, um, and actually look at their fruits.
• 10:10
  SPEAKER_00: And if Jesus says a good fruit can't produce a good tree can't produce bad fruit, and a bad tree can't produce good fruit.
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_00: In other words, um if you're a true, real Christian, truly following God and scriptures, and Jesus is inside of you in your heart, you're going to do and produce, and you're gonna say and do godly Christian things and values.
• 10:34
  SPEAKER_00: But if you're if you're a cultural Christian or not a real Christian, you're going to produce and say things that don't align with the scripture in Christ in the Bible.
• 10:45
  SPEAKER_00: And a lot of people will think, oh, okay, well, since I'm not a real Christian, I need to do Christian things.
• 10:54
  SPEAKER_00: But that's not the right approach.
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_00: The proper approach is yes, recognizing you're not an actual follower of Christ, that's the hardest part.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_00: But once you realize that, number two, it's um you actually need to surrender and give your life to Christ and ask him for his Holy Spirit to come dwell inside of you.
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_00: Because when you have a Holy Spirit dwelling inside of you, you then can't help but do godly and biblical things.
• 11:21
  SPEAKER_00: And so it's not like, oh, I want to become a Christian, so I do Christian things.
• 11:25
  SPEAKER_00: No, it's I want to become a Christian.
• 11:28
  SPEAKER_00: You humble yourself, get on your knees before God, and uh ask him for his spirit to come inside of you.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_00: When his spirit comes inside of you, the Holy Spirit, that's when you then do the good Christian things.
• 11:40
  SPEAKER_00: Not because you have to or that because that's the right thing to do, but because you genuinely in your heart want to do those things.
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_00: So it's really cool because when you're not following Jesus, it's kind of you have to force yourself to do good things.
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_00: When you're following Jesus, you can't help but want to do good things.
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_00: And so um, yeah, so yeah, Daddy Trump just needs to get born again.
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_02: And so you know, it's like he has like a spiritual advisor who's like a very I don't know the lady, but do need to get or she needs to get blunt with him, right?
• 12:17
  SPEAKER_02: And it's like, you know, it's it's all the people that you surround yourself with, and you know, what you're actually um intentionally focused on and trying to do, like what is the priority, and his obviously his priority is not following Christ, it's you know revenge on his enemies or you know, whatever.
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_02: Um presidents are busy people, but at the same time, it's like you can still do it.
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_00: Uh speaking on that, right?
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_00: I said speaking on that, but then the video cut out, and we were trying to figure it out for 10 minutes.
• 12:55
  SPEAKER_00: So, anyways, all right.
• 12:58
  SPEAKER_00: Someone needs to tell Daddy Trump straight up if how it actually is.
• 13:03
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 13:04
  SPEAKER_00: So um, all right, moving on, moving forward.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_00: We were talking about something the video had cut out, but uh we'll get back on topic to it.
• 13:13
  SPEAKER_00: But what I was talking about though, were the blackouts.
• 13:16
  SPEAKER_02: Well, it's kind of funny that we talk about blackouts.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and then the day stream goes and blacks out, dude.
• 13:22
  SPEAKER_00: The government listening to us.
• 13:24
  SPEAKER_00: So we're talking about government blackouts, and um out in a little side tangent.
• 13:29
  SPEAKER_00: I was telling Aaron, every time I speak of Christ or glorify God, something always seems to go wrong technologically.
• 13:37
  SPEAKER_00: And it's just a trend I've noticed.
• 13:38
  SPEAKER_00: Like it happens all the time.
• 13:39
  SPEAKER_00: Every time I do a live stream or some video talking about God or Christ, there's always an issue that happens.
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_00: Ain't that interesting?
• 13:50
  SPEAKER_00: Um, anyways, blackouts.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_00: So I don't know if you've seen this.
• 13:55
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I'm surprised Donald Trump wasn't asked about it on 60 Minutes, but on the blackout stuff.
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_00: So my brother, who's a Marine here in the US, he didn't even know about it.
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_00: I was like, dude, how do you not know about it?
• 14:05
  SPEAKER_00: Your freaking commander-in-chief posted it on Twitter like two days ago.
• 14:10
  SPEAKER_00: Um, so Europe told all their people basically, hey, y'all need to prep.
• 14:14
  SPEAKER_00: I think it was like for like a month, but y'all need to be able to like live for a month without power.
• 14:19
  SPEAKER_00: And Europe kind of told all their people that.
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_00: And then shortly after, the US made an announcement that they were gonna operate all military bases with no civilian power, to where basically the military bases had to run without using power from the cities.
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_00: And um, a lot of people were freaking out about it, and uh I I saw it as like it's just a genuine healthy military test.
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_02: Like that's kind of my first thought.
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_00: You should you should test that on like a five-year, 10-year basis, you know.
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but a lot of people were looking more into it and thinking, oh man, you know, we're gonna have to um prepare anything.
• 14:58
  SPEAKER_00: So here's what I did.
• 14:59
  SPEAKER_00: I've I uh if there's a blackout, I'm I'm I'm I'm ready.
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_00: I've been ready.
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_00: But um, I've always kind of been kind of a little prepper type, like like I I got 0.02% of my life that's kind of prepper, and I'll tell you what I mean by that.
• 15:17
  SPEAKER_00: So I always kind of think, man, if crap hits the fan, what are we doing?
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_00: And so I'll I kind of tell you my setup.
• 15:24
  SPEAKER_00: But before I tell you my setup, what I'm doing, I texted my brother who's in the military.
• 15:28
  SPEAKER_00: I said, Hey man, y'all ready for to survive on just military power, no no civilian power?
• 15:35
  SPEAKER_00: He's like, What are you talking about?
• 15:36
  SPEAKER_00: Send him the news article.
• 15:38
  SPEAKER_00: He's like, Oh, I don't even know about that.
• 15:39
  SPEAKER_00: Dude's in the Marines at a US military base.
• 15:42
  SPEAKER_00: How do you not know about this?
• 15:44
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 15:44
  SPEAKER_00: Um, so, anyways, he uh didn't know nothing about it.
• 15:49
  SPEAKER_00: I was like, dude, you didn't know nothing about it.
• 15:51
  SPEAKER_00: No, I'm like, guys, what kind of news am I being fed over here?
• 15:55
  SPEAKER_02: I don't have the prepper out algorithm, I guess.
• 15:58
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 15:59
  SPEAKER_00: But um, so it popped them on my feed, and I was like, well, you know, I don't really have three months of food, but I I mean I got like you know, probably a month worth.
• 16:10
  SPEAKER_00: Uh so here's kind of what I got going on.
• 16:12
  SPEAKER_00: So I got my I I do a bunch of like backpacking, and so I could go live out on a trail for basically forever.
• 16:19
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I have a way to uh I know how to make a fire.
• 16:23
  SPEAKER_00: Um, you can boil water with fire.
• 16:26
  SPEAKER_00: I have pots, um, I got sleeping packs, I got, you know, I can go and live out in the woods by myself for probably forever.
• 16:33
  SPEAKER_00: Like put me out in a national forest, I could probably live there 80 years.
• 16:36
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 16:36
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 16:37
  SPEAKER_00: Um just with that backpack setup, I got.
• 16:39
  SPEAKER_00: I got a water filter straw, the whole shebang.
• 16:42
  SPEAKER_00: So I was kind of thinking, man, all right, what are we gonna do here?
• 16:44
  SPEAKER_00: So a few options crossed my mind.
• 16:46
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, number one, I was like, well, I got a family.
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_00: So if we were to choose to stay in our neighborhood house, we I have a backup generator, so we'd have power for a few days at least if we need it.
• 16:59
  SPEAKER_00: I have a way to start fires.
• 17:02
  SPEAKER_00: I have uh little propane jet boiler uh in my backpack.
• 17:06
  SPEAKER_00: And if you know I ran out of propane, I could at least just use the uh old school fire method like the cavemen did, and like boil water and then cook food in that.
• 17:15
  SPEAKER_00: Um I had some like camping food, beans, rice, just like little prepper food, you know, just typical prepper kind of stuff.
• 17:24
  SPEAKER_00: So I was like, for food, we'd be fine.
• 17:27
  SPEAKER_00: Um I bought these uh these like 50,000 calorie kits off of Amazon that are like this big.
• 17:38
  SPEAKER_00: I bought like four of them.
• 17:39
  SPEAKER_00: So it's like I think it's like 200,000 calories maybe of food, but they're all food that you have to like put boiling water into and then mix up and then it's ready to eat.
• 17:49
  SPEAKER_00: So I got that.
• 17:50
  SPEAKER_00: So I got like three months of food.
• 17:52
  SPEAKER_00: Um, which I probably shouldn't be saying that publicly, but yeah, my plan's just to come to your house.
• 17:58
  SPEAKER_00: You don't hey.
• 17:59
  SPEAKER_00: I already told Carly, I already told my wife, I said, if anything hits the fan, I was like, I'm sorry, but we can't can't help anyone else.
• 18:07
  SPEAKER_00: We're we're helping ourselves.
• 18:09
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so sorry, man.
• 18:10
  SPEAKER_00: You're on your own.
• 18:11
  SPEAKER_00: Dang it.
• 18:12
  SPEAKER_00: But uh no, I mean if I own a farm, come on.
• 18:15
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 18:15
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but uh, anyways, yeah, the farmers are set, man.
• 18:19
  SPEAKER_00: People who grow their own food, they're good.
• 18:21
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and then I was like, all right, for defense, I got a ton of guns, ton of bullets.
• 18:27
  SPEAKER_00: So I was like, we're good on defense.
• 18:30
  SPEAKER_00: Um food, we're good on.
• 18:32
  SPEAKER_00: Uh last thing was water, and I I don't have like a water system on a house, but I was like, I was like, think about it.
• 18:38
  SPEAKER_00: Water, you could just take one of them plastic tubs, moving tubs that everybody owns.
• 18:42
  SPEAKER_00: Like, I think everybody has plastic moving tubs, clean them out, put them outside, and use that to collect rainwater.
• 18:50
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and you can drink white rainwater, yeah.
• 18:52
  SPEAKER_02: In that situation, yeah.
• 18:53
  SPEAKER_00: And so um, I was like, we'll just do that.
• 18:56
  SPEAKER_00: So water, we're good.
• 18:58
  SPEAKER_00: I was like, well, I'll get all my freaking plastic crates, put them in the backyard, and like we'll collect rainwater, and then we'll just like pour it all in one bucket and then drink that.
• 19:06
  SPEAKER_00: I was like, we can do that.
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_00: So uh I was like, all right, we're good on food, water, shelter, and protection.
• 19:12
  SPEAKER_00: So like we're good if we just stay at our house.
• 19:14
  SPEAKER_00: But I was thinking plan B, if people come and start breaking up neighborhoods, okay, what's my plan there?
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_00: So my plan B was to go to my property, my land, and uh I got a camper out there.
• 19:27
  SPEAKER_00: Move my camper deep in the woods where no one could find me.
• 19:30
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, because I got you know some trails out there, and uh it's real it'd be real hard to get a camper down in there, but you could do it, it would tear stuff up, but you could do it.
• 19:39
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and uh my plan was to get the camper deep in the woods where no one could find me.
• 19:43
  SPEAKER_00: And then uh we have a little uh water stream down there, and my idea was well, we have you know a water stream.
• 19:51
  SPEAKER_00: I got water filters for my camping setup.
• 19:53
  SPEAKER_00: We just live off this water stream, and it it's it stays wet year-round.
• 19:57
  SPEAKER_00: Like the streams, even during the drought we just had that stream in the on my property is always flowing.
• 20:04
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and so I was like, we'll just use that.
• 20:06
  SPEAKER_00: So there's our water there, and then for food, we're in the woods.
• 20:10
  SPEAKER_00: I got guns, all kinds of stuff.
• 20:12
  SPEAKER_00: We can shoot squirrels, game, uh, hogs, like deer.
• 20:17
  SPEAKER_00: Like I just freaking took out a doe like two days ago, heart shot, boom, shot it, drop.
• 20:22
  SPEAKER_00: Um oh yeah, that'd be a good little tidbit.
• 20:27
  SPEAKER_00: Shot a doe this past weekend, two uh second day of opening day, shot a doe right in the heart, uh, cleaned her up.
• 20:36
  SPEAKER_00: My buddy Trent came out and helped me.
• 20:38
  SPEAKER_00: He's real good at hunting, he's done it his whole life.
• 20:40
  SPEAKER_00: That's my first deer as an adult.
• 20:42
  SPEAKER_03: But uh he came out.
• 20:44
  SPEAKER_00: Thanks, man.
• 20:44
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he had come out and uh helped me clean her and gutter, and actually gutting her is not gutting a deer is actually not as hard as I thought it was.
• 20:52
  SPEAKER_00: Um and then I took it to the processor to get the meat processed and cut up and nice and pretty.
• 20:58
  SPEAKER_00: So uh I should be getting that here in a few days, so that'll be cool.
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but anyways, we got deer out there, like we got all kinds of food out there.
• 21:06
  SPEAKER_00: Um, you got plant foods, there's like certain types of mushrooms you can eat on uh decomposing vegetation trees that you could eat.
• 21:14
  SPEAKER_00: So, like there's food out there, so I was like, okay, well, we can go out there if we ever had to, and there would be no one around us because it's literally our land's in the middle of nowhere.
• 21:23
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, uh there ain't nobody.
• 21:25
  SPEAKER_00: So I was like, that's my plan B back up.
• 21:27
  SPEAKER_00: But if there's a blackout, I'm ready.
• 21:29
  SPEAKER_02: It's good to know.
• 21:30
  SPEAKER_02: I I had no idea there was a blackout even planned.
• 21:33
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, apparently, apparently.
• 21:35
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, I don't know.
• 21:36
  SPEAKER_02: I know that Texas did like we've had power grid problems in the past, yeah, you know, and so hopefully that doesn't continue.
• 21:45
  SPEAKER_00: But and I and you know, for the winters, if you got plenty of blankets, overalls, like I got a bunch of like warm hunting clothes.
• 21:56
  SPEAKER_00: So like in the winter is like if our electricity gets knocked out, our Our whole house is electric and our our heating system is electric.
• 22:03
  SPEAKER_00: So if electricity goes out, we don't have any heat.
• 22:06
  SPEAKER_00: So I was like, man, we'll just bundle up in some blankets and sleep in the bed together, you know?
• 22:11
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 22:11
  SPEAKER_00: So uh I mean that's the best thing you can do in the winter.
• 22:15
  SPEAKER_00: It's not like there's not too many houses nowadays that got the real fire pits, then at least the newer ones they're building.
• 22:22
  SPEAKER_00: There's no real fire pits, which is unfortunate.
• 22:26
  SPEAKER_00: But uh yeah, back in the day, log cabins, they do a little fire pit, keep it warm.
• 22:33
  SPEAKER_00: Anyways, but uh that's my plan if there's a blackout, man.
• 22:36
  SPEAKER_02: Sounds like a good plan.
• 22:38
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 22:38
  SPEAKER_02: Like I gotta low-key see if I gotta get you know my own setup.
• 22:42
  SPEAKER_00: Well, my thing is is like I'd rather be prepared.
• 22:44
  SPEAKER_02: Hunters are way more prepared than most of the populace.
• 22:49
  SPEAKER_02: If you're a hunter, you're probably pretty prepared for most stuff.
• 22:52
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 22:53
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I or military.
• 22:54
  SPEAKER_00: I was just kind of thinking like in the chance it does happen, I'd rather be ready than it happened and me not be ready at all.
• 23:01
  SPEAKER_00: My biggest scare though, I've thought about this.
• 23:03
  SPEAKER_00: So, like, you know how like I went to like so sometimes we'll go out of state to these cities for work-related things or trips.
• 23:12
  SPEAKER_00: My scare is being in a different city when if if stuff goes down and not being able to get back home.
• 23:18
  SPEAKER_00: Man, that'd be insane.
• 23:19
  SPEAKER_00: That's my biggest scare.
• 23:19
  SPEAKER_00: So, like when I was in Las Vegas, I was like, this is the worst place to be if like crap hits the fan.
• 23:24
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 23:25
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I was like, I would not be able to get back to Texas.
• 23:29
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I'd be hiking through a desert, man.
• 23:31
  SPEAKER_02: I think I'd I think I'd almost prefer being in Vegas and driving south than like be in Austin and have to go to 35.
• 23:41
  SPEAKER_02: If something bad happens, that's true.
• 23:43
  SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
• 23:43
  SPEAKER_02: Like, I like that's probably gonna be pretty open highway.
• 23:47
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that is true.
• 23:49
  SPEAKER_00: Versus going, you know, you could at least drive drive in the desert sand.
• 23:53
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
• 23:54
  SPEAKER_00: That's a good point.
• 23:56
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 23:57
  SPEAKER_00: Um, it keeps the camera keeps focusing on this mannequin.
• 24:00
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 24:01
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but uh that's a good point, man.
• 24:05
  SPEAKER_00: Imagine there's a blackout you get stuck on a city.
• 24:08
  SPEAKER_02: That'd be tough.
• 24:09
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but anyways, the reason I even brought the blackout stuff up is because I was thinking on a business level, there's blackout stuff, hits the fan.
• 24:17
  SPEAKER_00: All this little entrepreneurship stuff goes out the freaking window, dude.
• 24:21
  SPEAKER_00: No one cares.
• 24:22
  SPEAKER_00: Like it's food, defense, yeah, shelter, like basic needs at that point.
• 24:28
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, like all of this stuff.
• 24:30
  SPEAKER_00: Like I was thinking about Alex Chermozi over in Las Vegas.
• 24:34
  SPEAKER_00: I was like, man, if there's a you know nationwide blackout, like that dude's in Las Vegas, bro.
• 24:41
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I just I just wouldn't I wouldn't want to be in the big city during a blackout, personally.
• 24:46
  SPEAKER_00: No, I want to be out in the country, and I I have a feeling too, these rural towns like uh I have a feeling people people would be pretty hospitable.
• 24:54
  SPEAKER_00: And uh like like in my neighborhood, for example, like I have a feeling that we'd all defend each other's homes.
• 25:02
  SPEAKER_00: And like if anyone came in our neighborhood trying to mess around, we'd all be like kind of we'd all kind of make a pack of like, hey, we're gonna protect each other, you know.
• 25:09
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah, I think I think that's right.
• 25:11
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, for the most part.
• 25:12
  SPEAKER_02: Like in a rural rural America, yeah, yeah.
• 25:15
  SPEAKER_02: You can especially Texas.
• 25:16
  SPEAKER_02: I live in a little town, so Texas, and then like you know, Louisiana, you can probably find, you know, yeah, some allies there.
• 25:23
  SPEAKER_02: Uh yeah, some good old folks.
• 25:26
  SPEAKER_02: Then there's also like there's different, but there's different types of country, you know, like there's just different types of people.
• 25:32
  SPEAKER_02: Um, you know, like I don't know if you spent a lot of time on a lake, but like lake people is like a segment of people, you know what I mean?
• 25:43
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it is.
• 25:43
  SPEAKER_02: And so it's just like different lifestyle, you know?
• 25:46
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's a different lifestyle.
• 25:47
  SPEAKER_02: It's like, okay, that's a lake person right there.
• 25:50
  SPEAKER_02: And so uh I'm just saying that wouldn't be my first first one to ask for some ration, too.
• 25:58
  SPEAKER_02: Uh they might, you know.
• 26:01
  SPEAKER_00: I will say though, don't be like don't want to be judgmental.
• 26:04
  SPEAKER_00: Well, no, no, no, like you're in a you're in like crap hits the fan situation.
• 26:09
  SPEAKER_00: Don't be uh like I don't I don't think it's right to be asking people who are prepared for food.
• 26:15
  SPEAKER_00: Like I feel like it's your responsibility to oh yeah, 100% be prepared for that.
• 26:19
  SPEAKER_00: Like I was thinking to myself, I was like, all right, we got food, but I was like, yes, I'll help defend the neighborhood and like protect our neighbors, but like yeah, I'm not but everybody's counting their calories.
• 26:30
  SPEAKER_00: You got your food on your house and that's it.
• 26:31
  SPEAKER_00: Like if you run out of food, that's on you, you didn't prepare it.
• 26:36
  SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
• 26:36
  SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
• 26:37
  SPEAKER_00: It's kind of like it's not the person who prepared his job to feed the neighborhood, you know.
• 26:42
  SPEAKER_02: Got a question for you on this.
• 26:43
  SPEAKER_02: If you because you hear about like the billionaire tech tech bros, they have like bunkers in different places.
• 26:50
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah, they're ready.
• 26:51
  SPEAKER_02: You you think you like you get to that level, you are you building like a billionaire bunker?
• 26:58
  SPEAKER_02: Like in Hawaii or whatever.
• 26:59
  SPEAKER_00: No, I'm not building no billionaire bunker, dude.
• 27:03
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 27:05
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I'll I'll probably have like I'll always have something on my sleeve.
• 27:09
  SPEAKER_00: Like since I don't know what it's like.
• 27:12
  SPEAKER_02: I'll know you start digging up your land and you start making like an underground, you know, chamber.
• 27:17
  SPEAKER_00: I'll how do you know I don't already have that's what I was gonna say.
• 27:19
  SPEAKER_02: I'd like to you might already be having the blueprint out.
• 27:23
  SPEAKER_00: Well, ever since I was like a kid, I've always been like, if stuff hits the fan in the world, I want to be ready.
• 27:29
  SPEAKER_00: So, like literally when I was a kid, like teenager, in my closet, I had like a US Army guide for survival.
• 27:37
  SPEAKER_00: Love it, buoy knife, matches, uh, weapons, and I was like, man, if stuff hits the fan, I got this backpack, I'm ready.
• 27:45
  SPEAKER_02: You're a resourceful dude.
• 27:47
  SPEAKER_00: That when I that's when I was like 12.
• 27:49
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 27:50
  SPEAKER_00: And uh, I don't know, I've just always kind of been like that.
• 27:53
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, yeah, I'm like so very skeptical of the world, and I'm like, man, if I don't trust this system we have built here.
• 28:00
  SPEAKER_00: It's I don't trust it.
• 28:01
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so I'm always under the impression of like very I'm very skeptical of all of this.
• 28:07
  SPEAKER_00: And so just in case, I got my reserves, like I'm I got my my stuff, yeah.
• 28:14
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so that way I'm somewhat prepared.
• 28:16
  SPEAKER_00: And if it doesn't ever happen, at least I it's not like I I'm like these other doomsday preppers where their whole life revolves around the world and then they just hope they're so prepared they hope it happens, right?
• 28:28
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 28:28
  SPEAKER_00: I'm more of like I've prepared like 0.2% of my life towards this thing.
• 28:33
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, where if it does happen, I'll at least be in a better position than most people, but I'm not gonna be as in good of a position as these like guys who like make it their whole lives.
• 28:42
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, those guys are kind of weird.
• 28:43
  SPEAKER_00: I watched TV show growing up my grandparents, so this guy who like built a fortress out of uh uh like center blocks, and he had his whole family out there working, and he basically every day of the episode he was like it could be tomorrow.
• 28:59
  SPEAKER_00: The government government could come down tomorrow and the people go crazy.
• 29:03
  SPEAKER_00: And and they were like so urgent on building this freaking castle.
• 29:07
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, there's a there's a spectrum of like like he thinks every day is the next day is gonna happen, yeah.
• 29:13
  SPEAKER_00: Like almost like Jesus is coming back, but like not that, but the world's gonna end up.
• 29:17
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, same urgency, yeah.
• 29:19
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm like, I'm like, dude, and then and then that show was 12 years ago.
• 29:25
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm like, I'm thinking now, because that because he was a husband and a father, and he had his kids out there being like in the scarcity of my mindset of oh my gosh, the world's gonna end.
• 29:36
  SPEAKER_00: And even now, I'm thinking, man, what are their kids thinking right now?
• 29:39
  SPEAKER_00: Like their dad for five years straight out of building this Ford out of Cinderbox, like tomorrow was gonna be the end of it.
• 29:45
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 29:46
  SPEAKER_00: And then 12 years later, we're still rolling.
• 29:49
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's people believe crazy things, man.
• 29:53
  SPEAKER_00: I bet you a bunch of their kids that grew up are like this is this is bull crap.
• 29:57
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you're on the healthy side side of the spectrum, I think, on that.
• 30:01
  SPEAKER_02: Because like it goes from from like that to you know, hobby where you're like, this is just something that I also like to do for fun, yeah.
• 30:09
  SPEAKER_02: And then it goes into like full-on belief system and crazy town reality show.
• 30:16
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and I think, yeah, it'd be crazy in the big cities, I'll tell you that.
• 30:24
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's just best to stay out of them big cities.
• 30:28
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, don't be living in them big cities, guys.
• 30:31
  SPEAKER_00: If you live in them, get out of them.
• 30:32
  SPEAKER_00: They're crazy.
• 30:33
  SPEAKER_02: Rural East Texas is way to be.
• 30:35
  SPEAKER_00: Get out, get out in a rural country.
• 30:36
  SPEAKER_00: You'll you'll like it.
• 30:37
  SPEAKER_00: It's real nice.
• 30:38
  SPEAKER_00: Real quiet, everyone's friendly.
• 30:40
  SPEAKER_00: Everybody helps each other out.
• 30:42
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 30:42
  SPEAKER_00: So you know where everything is.
• 30:43
  SPEAKER_00: Walmart's two minutes down the road from your house.
• 30:46
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 30:47
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 30:48
  SPEAKER_00: I love the city I live in there.
• 30:50
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not going to disclose the exact name of it, but um little small town outside of here.
• 30:57
  SPEAKER_00: And even this town we live in, like it's a big town, but it's not like huge, you know.
• 31:02
  SPEAKER_02: No, this is just 80,000.
• 31:03
  SPEAKER_02: A small city with a bunch of people.
• 31:06
  SPEAKER_00: 80,000.
• 31:07
  SPEAKER_00: It doesn't feel like 80,000.
• 31:08
  SPEAKER_00: It's a big small town, yeah.
• 31:09
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's a big small town.
• 31:10
  SPEAKER_00: It feels like a small town, but apparently 80,000 people live here.
• 31:13
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, growing up, I mean, I grew up in Edgewood, so you know, all we had was uh the grocery store was called David's when we got the grocery store.
• 31:23
  SPEAKER_02: So it's like who heard of David's?
• 31:25
  SPEAKER_02: Nobody.
• 31:26
  SPEAKER_02: I've never seen another one ever.
• 31:27
  SPEAKER_02: They went out of business and then turned into a Brookshire Brothers, which is only for small towns.
• 31:32
  SPEAKER_02: Yep.
• 31:33
  SPEAKER_02: And Walmart, you know, was always the 10-minute trip out of town.
• 31:37
  SPEAKER_02: Like, oh, going to Walmart.
• 31:39
  SPEAKER_02: That's exciting.
• 31:40
  SPEAKER_00: You know, big trip.
• 31:41
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, cool, man.
• 31:43
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, anyways.
• 31:45
  SPEAKER_00: Well, there's a rabbit hole for the day.
• 31:46
  SPEAKER_00: Time to get to the actual topic of the day today.
• 31:48
  SPEAKER_00: What do you got?
• 31:49
  SPEAKER_00: Two hours later.
• 31:50
  SPEAKER_00: What you got?

• 31:52
  SPEAKER_00: You know, you got it.
• 31:54
  SPEAKER_00: We're good.
• 31:54
  SPEAKER_00: Um no, uh, yeah.
• 31:59
  SPEAKER_00: I uh I guess we'll kind of move on to business now.
• 32:05
  SPEAKER_00: Kind of talked a little bit about faith, fitness.
• 32:08
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I was supposed to get back to running.
• 32:09
  SPEAKER_00: Um, because you know, I did the 100 miler, was gonna take four weeks off, ended up taking five weeks off.
• 32:16
  SPEAKER_00: This is the sixth week.
• 32:17
  SPEAKER_00: I was supposed to start running this week, but then I got sick at the beginning of it.
• 32:20
  SPEAKER_00: And I still so I'm still kind of out of loop.
• 32:23
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna get back into it, I promise.
• 32:24
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 32:25
  SPEAKER_00: So this is just the farthest uh this is the longest.
• 32:27
  SPEAKER_00: I told Sarah, this is the longest I've ever gone without working out in like the past eight years.
• 32:32
  SPEAKER_02: But you're still maintaining your streak, right?
• 32:34
  SPEAKER_02: Your weekly.
• 32:34
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, yeah, I'll get out there and do a little two-mile run.
• 32:37
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but not actual intentional training training.
• 32:40
  SPEAKER_00: Um, so like since I was in high school all the way in college, and then even after college, I was always running or lifting, like every week.
• 32:49
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, this is the first time in my life where I'm like actually not doing anything, and it's pretty nice, honestly.
• 32:57
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I'm like, man, this is what the American life's like.
• 33:00
  SPEAKER_00: You just wake up whenever you, you know, you can wake up at seven and get to work.
• 33:03
  SPEAKER_00: Like, that's nice.
• 33:04
  SPEAKER_00: You don't gotta wake up at five and work out.
• 33:06
  SPEAKER_00: Man, this is the life, honestly.
• 33:08
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, so I'm kind of liking it, man.
• 33:10
  SPEAKER_00: I'm liking the little hermit stage I'm in, which you know, treat your life if you if you're trying to live your life like a black bear or a brown bear uh in the winters, you kind of hibernate.
• 33:22
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm kind of hibernating right now.
• 33:24
  SPEAKER_00: So I could come out in the spring roaring.
• 33:27
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 33:28
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm kind of in hibernation mode.
• 33:31
  SPEAKER_02: The thing is, when you when you come out in the spring roaring, you're also 15 pounds heavier.
• 33:35
  SPEAKER_00: Not me, man.
• 33:36
  SPEAKER_00: I'm a stick.
• 33:37
  SPEAKER_00: I can't gain weight, man.
• 33:39

  SPEAKER_00: Um, no, but genuinely though, I am I am getting back into the training though.
• 33:45
  SPEAKER_00: Um I think today I'm feeling better.
• 33:48
  SPEAKER_00: And so I'll probably get a run in either this evening or tomorrow morning and get back on streak.
• 33:53
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and it helps too to find groups to run with.
• 33:56
  SPEAKER_00: I I just found a group where I live in the small town I live in, of a few guys who run ultras.
• 34:01
  SPEAKER_00: And uh I've been meaning to get out and run with them for months, but uh now that I'm finally getting back into it, I'm gonna get out there and run with them.
• 34:07
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm looking forward to that.
• 34:09
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but uh yeah, as far as calendar goes, you know, I still don't got nothing on the calendar.

  SPEAKER_00: My wife and I, we're gonna run that.
• 34:40
  SPEAKER_00: So there's kind of the fitness side of it.
• 34:42
  SPEAKER_00: As far as business goes, man, so some really cool stuff's happening right now.
• 34:47
  SPEAKER_00: Um, which doors open.
• 34:50
  SPEAKER_00: I was gonna share some information, but if I'm sharing this information, it's public.
• 34:54
  SPEAKER_00: I I guess it don't matter if the door is open.
• 34:55
  SPEAKER_00: But um, so some interesting information.
• 34:58
  SPEAKER_00: So uh there was a guy who I hopped on the call with yesterday.
• 35:03
  SPEAKER_00: Um and up to this point I haven't sold any of my business, like I'm 100% owner.
• 35:09
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and there's a guy I hopped on the call with yesterday, and usually I don't talk to these people because I get emails every day saying, Hey, can we, you know, we're a private equity company, can we buy, you know, can we buy uh uh your company or or whatever?
• 35:24
  SPEAKER_00: Like I get emails every day, and it basically what those emails are most of the time are people that you pay, that then you pay them like ten thousand dollars, and then they go and find people who are interested in investing businesses and bringing those people to you.
• 35:38
  SPEAKER_00: That's what most of those people are.
• 35:39
  SPEAKER_00: So I don't mess with them.
• 35:40
  SPEAKER_00: I got an email from a guy that was like, Hey, we're interested in you know buying or being a part of your business or whatever.
• 35:47
  SPEAKER_00: I was like, Oh, whatever, left them on red.
• 35:49
  SPEAKER_00: He sent an email the next day saying, Hey, you ever have any trouble getting permits, stuff like that?
• 35:55
  SPEAKER_00: We can help with that.
• 35:56
  SPEAKER_00: And I was like, we do have trouble getting permits.
• 35:59
  SPEAKER_00: So I was like, all right, let's schedule a meeting.
• 36:00
  SPEAKER_00: Scheduled a meeting, had it yesterday, and basically this guy builds up uh, he owns a company that buys outdoor or buys pieces of outdoor event companies and scales them.
• 36:17
  SPEAKER_00: Uh so like he'll buy like uh youth baseball tournament uh companies or like youth fishing companies.
• 36:24
  SPEAKER_00: They're kind of niches, outdoor event youth, but we fit the we fit the outdoor event, even though it's not youth, and so they're still interested.
• 36:32
  SPEAKER_00: Um, so I hopped on a call with them because I was like thinking, oh, he can help me out with permits.
• 36:38
  SPEAKER_00: Um, so I hop on a call with him and he's like, Yeah, we scale event companies from really small up to like$100 million.
• 36:46
  SPEAKER_00: I was like, oh, that's sick.
• 36:48
  SPEAKER_00: Like he does it for event companies specifically, and so I was like, okay.
• 36:52
  SPEAKER_00: And he was like, um, you know, they all kind of run the same.
• 36:56
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, we can help out with XYZ and like do some of the work on their end.
• 37:01
  SPEAKER_00: And uh he basically was asking me like um some questions, and basically by the end of the call, he was like, Well, are you interested in a partnership?
• 37:10
  SPEAKER_00: And I was like, Well, I'm interested to see what your like what your idea is of that, like what that actually looks like.
• 37:17
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and so I don't know what it's actually gonna look like.
• 37:20
  SPEAKER_00: Like, I don't know if it's like, hey, we'll give you X amount of dollars for 20% of your company, and basically like as an investment, and then you'll we'll help you grow your company, and then you make more and we make more.
• 37:33
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I do know that as long as you own 51% of a company, you keep full control over it.
• 37:39
  SPEAKER_00: And so I've had offers of people who have wanted to buy into the business in the past, but I've always known its potential, so I've always rejected it.
• 37:48
  SPEAKER_00: We're at a place right now where the future is like big and crazy.
• 37:53
  SPEAKER_00: And like if everything goes to plan and we hit it, great.
• 37:57
  SPEAKER_00: If everything doesn't go to the plan and we don't hit it, we'll kind of stay the same where we're at.
• 38:01
  SPEAKER_00: And so I submitted all the information yesterday that he wanted, um, like financials of the business and stuff.
• 38:08
  SPEAKER_00: We're gonna do another meeting soon.
• 38:09
  SPEAKER_00: But uh, that was an interesting just like conversation and even thought because all the way up to this point, I was like never like, oh, I would never sell a percentage of my business.
• 38:18
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but then I met with him and like I saw some value of it.
• 38:22
  SPEAKER_00: And uh if it's a situation where like I keep full control and all they do is just like give me guidance and they give me cash for like you know five, ten percent, whatever it is, I'm interested at least to see what the number is.
• 38:36
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you know what I mean?
• 38:37
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and so but also I know our future and where we're going, and so like if the number isn't impactful or huge, then it's like, well, I'll just make that next year.
• 38:47
  SPEAKER_00: So what's the point, you know?
• 38:48
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 38:49
  SPEAKER_00: So um, we'll see where it actually all goes.
• 38:51
  SPEAKER_00: But that was interesting having that conversation.
• 38:53
  SPEAKER_00: Never I guess you got to get to a certain level before people are even interested, but I guess we're at that level.
• 39:00
  SPEAKER_00: Um but um so the that was that was pretty cool talking to him uh and his company.
• 39:09
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I mean that's it that's interesting.
• 39:11
  SPEAKER_02: I I wonder, yeah, I'm curious.
• 39:14
  SPEAKER_02: It makes me curious on like you know what that what the actual value they can bring.
• 39:19
  SPEAKER_00: It sounds like they do like they help you do some work that you can't handle for growth, and then they help guide you to like you know to be the biggest you are with what they've done for other people.
• 39:28
  SPEAKER_02: This is what people do in 10 million have implemented, that kind of stuff.
• 39:32
  SPEAKER_02: So they can kind of give you guidance on these are the things that these type of businesses have perfected that if you implement, you're on the right track.
• 39:42
  SPEAKER_02: That's kind of what I was thinking.
• 39:43
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 39:43
  SPEAKER_00: Like that.
• 39:44
  SPEAKER_00: And plus like they have a lot of administrative stuff they can help with, like as far as like um as far as like uh permitting venues, like some of the stuff we do struggle with, yeah.
• 39:54
  SPEAKER_00: Uh apparently they can help out with that.
• 39:56
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's cool.
• 39:57
  SPEAKER_00: So you kind of get free labor and money, and then I just pay you out out of the money you help us make in the next forever.
• 40:04
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 40:05
  SPEAKER_00: Might be a good deal.
• 40:06
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
• 40:07
  SPEAKER_02: It's interesting.
• 40:08
  SPEAKER_02: Um, yeah, I'd wonder it, it also it's like, you know, when you get into any kind of uh business, I'm always fascinated by how much business is around that particular business.
• 40:21
  SPEAKER_02: And so, like, you know, if from an event standpoint, you know, there's there's like uh the running event that we're gonna go to and like all those vendors and conferences and like that whole there's like a whole economy within you know this particular niche that uh that supports the the event companies or the shoe companies or the whatever companies that there are.
• 40:48
  SPEAKER_02: Um and so it like it it expands your mind on like how much stuff is out there, and so that's the kind of where I go with something like that, is that that there's like he's one of X amount of people who probably also do that that just haven't reached out, yep, you know, and so there's gonna be hungrier people or people who are early on Texas Outlaw, but then it's like I wonder what the compare contrast is from others out there that are looking to invest in specifically trail running too, because it's it's growing so fast, right?
• 41:26
  SPEAKER_02: And it's like a very hot thing, you know what I mean.
• 41:29
  SPEAKER_00: I was listening to a podcast yesterday about like how much private equity money is going into the, and we've talked about it a little bit of just going into these different event companies, and so yeah, it's an interesting, interesting world to to be in, and then also navigate, especially I would imagine, as a business owner, because well, I mean, it's like how I see it is like you can either get a really big financial piece now and just long term, like long term you're having to pay this person, but you get a little big piece now, or you can just not take the big piece now and just keep that money forever in the future, right?
• 42:11
  SPEAKER_00: But if things go south, you'll really wish you would have got the big piece, yeah.
• 42:17
  SPEAKER_00: So it's it's a hard balance, yeah.
• 42:19
  SPEAKER_02: And it's also timing too, I think, because you hear about a lot of, you know, or I've just heard a you know, you hear stories of entrepreneurship of like I rejected the money, you know, I rejected the opportunities, you know, in certain at certain times for certain reasons.
• 42:37
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you know what I mean?
• 42:39
  SPEAKER_02: And then it's like then there's going to be kind of like with Bloom, you know what I mean?
• 42:44
  SPEAKER_02: Like they they were they were doing their thing for a long time, and then they experienced success, and then wasn't until relatively recently that they got a huge injection of cash to really blow it up.
• 42:58
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they got a hundred million dollars from for 10% of this company.
• 43:02
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so it's crazy because this company is valued a billion dollars, which is awesome.
• 43:06
  SPEAKER_01: So it's just you know, in every every you know, it's different industry, different business, different, you know.
• 43:12
  SPEAKER_00: Well, like you've seen our game plan, like yeah, to me, in my eyes, I'm like, all right, well, I'm already I already know where we can get to.
• 43:19
  SPEAKER_00: And I was like, if this person could help out after that, then maybe.
• 43:24
  SPEAKER_00: But in my eyes, I'm like, I would rather just like try to reach my full potential than look for investors after I'm like, okay, I don't know what to do now.
• 43:35
  SPEAKER_00: Like then reach out.
• 43:36
  SPEAKER_00: But now right kind of where I'm at right now, and the reason I'm not even sure if I would actually do it is just because I I'm like where I'm at right now, I'm like like I already know where we're going the next like few years.
• 43:48
  SPEAKER_00: It's big.
• 43:49
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and so I'm not really concerned about how to grow the right way to grow.
• 43:55
  SPEAKER_00: Like I already know what I'm doing.
• 43:57
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 43:57
  SPEAKER_00: And so like I don't need an investor.
• 44:00
  SPEAKER_00: Like, would it be cool to get a bunch of cash now?
• 44:02
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that'd be awesome, you know.
• 44:04
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but or I can just stick to my guns and get more later.
• 44:10
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 44:11
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's all about like what it's very interesting.
• 44:13
  SPEAKER_02: What your what what your goals are, how you want, like what you want, you know.
• 44:19
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's super interesting.
• 44:20
  unknown: Yeah.
• 44:21
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 44:22
  SPEAKER_00: Um, so it's my first time ever dealing with that on a serious level.
• 44:25
  SPEAKER_00: I send over all the information.
• 44:26
  SPEAKER_00: I just want to see the numbers and like how it works.
• 44:28
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 44:29
  SPEAKER_00: Like at least it's good to just know.
• 44:31
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 44:32
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, all right, well, how much money do you actually want to give?
• 44:35
  SPEAKER_00: What percent do you want?
• 44:36
  SPEAKER_00: How what does that even mean when you have a percent?
• 44:37
  SPEAKER_00: Like, if you have 10% of the company, what does that even mean?
• 44:40
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 44:40
  SPEAKER_00: You know, um, I know for me, I just made my first investment into a company.
• 44:45
  SPEAKER_00: I have a good friend of mine who's been doing our bookkeeping for finances for our company, and uh, very good friend.
• 44:53
  SPEAKER_00: And he does the bookkeeping on time and he does it right.
• 44:57
  SPEAKER_00: That's rare to find in a bookkeeper.
• 44:59
  SPEAKER_00: And so I he's broken off, he's doing his own thing now, and I'm investing into his business right now, and I'm helping him.
• 45:07
  SPEAKER_00: Like I'm actually doing the marketing behind it and getting his business growing and going.
• 45:12
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and so I'm kind of providing a lot of the customers um to get it started.
• 45:18
  SPEAKER_00: But I'm I'm investing my time and money into it.
• 45:21
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and in return, I'll get basically after he's paid, I'll get 33% of whatever's left forever.
• 45:30
  SPEAKER_00: And in my eyes, it's just like it's a good investment.
• 45:33
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, but like that's how my investment works on my own with him.
• 45:36
  SPEAKER_00: So I don't know how it works with other people.
• 45:38
  SPEAKER_00: This is just an agreement I made with him.
• 45:40
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 45:40
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know how it worked.
• 45:41
  SPEAKER_00: If that's I don't know the traditional way of how people do stuff with investments, but that's how I set it up.
• 45:47
  SPEAKER_00: I set it up to I'll I'll get 33 33% a month.
• 45:51
  SPEAKER_00: Like after he's paid, I get 33% every month.
• 45:54
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 45:55
  SPEAKER_00: So I get a little check check made out to me or something.
• 45:59
  SPEAKER_00: So well, that's how I'm doing it.
• 46:01
  SPEAKER_00: Um, that's my first company I've ever invested to into also, is this bookkeeping company with this guy, just because like I believe in it so much.
• 46:09
  SPEAKER_00: Because there's like it's hard to find a bookkeeper who does stuff on time and right.
• 46:14
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 46:15
  SPEAKER_00: And he's local, he could shake his hand.
• 46:17
  SPEAKER_00: So yeah, anyways, it's TP bookkeeping and tax prep.
• 46:20
  SPEAKER_00: If anyone's interested, it's on Facebook.
• 46:22
  SPEAKER_00: If you type go on Facebook and type in T as in Tom, P as in Pickle, TP Bookkeeping and Tax Prep.
• 46:29
  SPEAKER_00: Uh you'll see a picture of Trent and his his family.
• 46:33
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, but his that's a business I've invested into, and I'm a part of.
• 46:37
  SPEAKER_00: So he owns the business 100% outright.
• 46:40
  SPEAKER_00: So I don't have ownership of it.
• 46:42
  SPEAKER_00: But um I am a partner and ish, not like an official business partner, but I'm uh I I do get a piece the profits and stuff, yeah.
• 46:54
  SPEAKER_00: So um, anyways, but yeah, the first investment interaction is pretty interesting, so we'll see where that goes.
• 47:01
  SPEAKER_00: Um it's doing our budget for next year too, and uh I'm really excited for all the growth next year.
• 47:08
  SPEAKER_00: We gotta we got a few Hail Marys that we gotta get.
• 47:10
  SPEAKER_00: We gotta hire three people who wanna basically travel all summer and uh camp all summer, which sounds like a sweet summer job if I was in college, but uh we gotta find some people for that to make this dream come true.
• 47:27
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 47:27
  SPEAKER_00: So uh yeah, so lots of exciting stuff, though, a lot of new stuff going on, um, investment-wise and uh growth-wise.
• 47:36
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm not concerned about those two things at all.
• 47:39
  SPEAKER_00: Um and uh yeah, I've actually really been uh I guess kind of last thing to talk about for the day is is culture maintenance.
• 47:50
  SPEAKER_00: So um as far as the culture that we carry here at our our company, I've been very particular and kind of cracking down on it the past two weeks.
• 47:58
  SPEAKER_00: We talked about it last week on the last podcast at the end, uh talked about um addressing negative negativity and uh pessimism and you know optimism.
• 48:10
  SPEAKER_00: And so um this week I've been pursuing it further.
• 48:15
  SPEAKER_00: And when someone says something from a negative perspective, I call it out now.
• 48:21
  SPEAKER_00: And so I'll say they'll say something and I'll say that's a negative perspective.
• 48:27
  SPEAKER_00: And there's no arguing with it because it is and uh one thing I've been really trying to push intentionally when I have conversations with people here is it's uh it's not a matter of if we get it done, like get something done, it's a matter of when and how we get it done.
• 48:45
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 48:46
  SPEAKER_00: And so, like I gave an example today in a meeting I had, and I gave an example that Elon Musk doesn't tell his team, hey, we might try to go build a moon on or build a base on the moon.
• 48:59
  SPEAKER_00: He told his team, hey, we're building a base on the moon by 2030.
• 49:04
  SPEAKER_00: He he told his team that's what we're doing.
• 49:07
  SPEAKER_00: Guess what?
• 49:08
  SPEAKER_00: They're working on it.
• 49:09
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they're not asking if, they're asking when and how.
• 49:15
  SPEAKER_00: And I noticed this attitude of if.
• 49:18
  SPEAKER_00: I said, Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
• 49:20
  SPEAKER_00: We're talking about setting up like we're talking about very manual tasks here.
• 49:26
  SPEAKER_00: We're talking about volunteers set up and placing stuff and and placing stuff in places that will fit.
• 49:35
  SPEAKER_00: Like this is like two, this is math, this is elementary math with stuff that we're dealing with.
• 49:40
  SPEAKER_00: We got guys in America dealing with figuring out how we're gonna live on on moon on the moon.
• 49:45
  SPEAKER_00: And we're down here at Texas at all running company trying to figure out how to fit stuff in places, yeah.
• 49:51
  SPEAKER_00: And asking if about it and not when and how.
• 49:54
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 49:55
  SPEAKER_00: If we we're not doing it, it like there's this perspective like, well, if we decide to do that, then we'll need to have to figure this out.
• 50:05
  SPEAKER_00: And it's very much a victim mentality way of thinking.
• 50:09
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
• 50:12
  SPEAKER_00: It is not if.
• 50:13
  SPEAKER_00: What do you mean if it's happening?
• 50:16
  SPEAKER_00: I was like, one of our main values here is Olympics.
• 50:21
  SPEAKER_00: We do things the best in the world, and that's the motive for why we do the things we do.
• 50:28
  SPEAKER_00: And uh, I literally had this conversation today like today in a meeting today.
• 50:32
  SPEAKER_00: I was like, it is not if, it is when and how.
• 50:35
  SPEAKER_00: No more if language.
• 50:37
  SPEAKER_00: Um, the conversation went really well, and uh, it was a great meeting, very productive, and it was a good mindset framework change.
• 50:45
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, because I called it out, said that's a negative perspective.
• 50:49
  SPEAKER_00: And it was like, oh, you're right, that was a negative perspective.
• 50:52
  SPEAKER_00: It was I loved it because it was like ultimate humility across the board, which I love.
• 50:56
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and uh so yeah, I've been I've been really addressing that head on here lately.
• 51:02
  SPEAKER_00: Like even our conversation like you and I had yesterday in our one on one, and uh just kind of like you know, there's a lot of things going on, a lot of moving parts, and there's no way to keep track of that in here.
• 51:15
  SPEAKER_00: So yesterday you and I had the conversation of like, okay, to-do list, calendar, you know?
• 51:20
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and uh to me, I left that convers.
• 51:23
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know about you, but I left that conversation thinking, man, I felt like that was an extremely productive conversation, like things only got better.
• 51:30
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, 100%.
• 51:31
  SPEAKER_01: Uh I was already like I'm already like dialing in my calendar and uh make some tasks and and things like that.
• 51:38
  SPEAKER_01: And it's just like just different stuff that like you know, you don't like I guess you know to do, but you just don't, or you if it's if it's a new if it's a new thing, it's harder to to implement.
• 51:51
  SPEAKER_02: And so, you know, some like yourself, you've done every role here, and so it's not like it's anything that's new to you, and so um just getting that feedback from you on like this is how I did it and this is how I made it work, was helpful because it's just like okay, these are these are tools of the trade that I can implement, and it's like one less thing that I have to like really actually figure out, think through, figure out, or or like fumble along, and so yeah, that was definitely helpful, and I think that the value in in like so much of it is is is mindset and just in in execution and getting things done, so much has to do with how you encounter things and like the story that you tell yourself about the thing.
• 52:41
  SPEAKER_02: Um, because it's like, oh, this seems uh overwhelming, you know, until you just start chipping away.
• 52:49
  SPEAKER_02: And then once you start chipping away, you're like, okay, well, this is definitely doable.
• 52:53
  SPEAKER_02: It just takes time, and how long do we want it to take?
• 52:56
  SPEAKER_02: Yep.
• 52:57
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, and when do we want to get this done by?
• 52:59
  SPEAKER_02: You know, it's like, okay, well, it's all possible, like like the warehouse.
• 53:03
  SPEAKER_02: Like, we're, you know, we got some work to do there, but and we have the plan to to get that like to a hundred percent, but like the 15% that Sarah and I did today took us like way further.
• 53:18
  SPEAKER_02: So on Wednesday, it's like that's gonna, that's gonna be a you know, relative breeze.
• 53:25
  SPEAKER_02: It doesn't mean that it's not work, doesn't mean that it doesn't require decisions, but like sets us up, and it's like, oh well, you just you just do it once or twice or three times, or you just think about it that you know, and you have the perspective of oh, this will get done.
• 53:41
  SPEAKER_02: It's just a matter of how and when.
• 53:43
  SPEAKER_02: Like anything is possible, yeah.
• 53:46
  SPEAKER_02: It's all possible.
• 53:47
  SPEAKER_02: It's just gotta have the mindset.
• 53:49
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
• 53:51
  SPEAKER_00: Get her done.
• 53:52
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, just get her done, man.

• 54:01
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 54:02
  SPEAKER_00: Keyword automated.
• 54:06
  SPEAKER_00: I have literally tons of uh stuff in my phone reminding me to do stuff every day, all day.
• 54:12
  SPEAKER_00: Like every day I look at my to-do list, tells me exactly what I need to do in my calendar.
• 54:17
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I don't have to think about it.
• 54:19
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 54:19
  SPEAKER_02: And I mean that's that's the best.
• 54:22
  SPEAKER_02: Because this like decision fatigue is really what wears you down.
• 54:25
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 54:26
  SPEAKER_02: But if you can eliminate those decisions or make them, uh I mean, that's why I like uh, you know, you you hear the the founders or whatever, you know, it's like they all wear black t-shirts or what you know what I mean?
• 54:38
  SPEAKER_02: Like I got a closet full of
• 54:39
  I

  SPEAKER_02: understand that, dude.
• 54:40
  I
• 54:40
  SPEAKER_02: guess or whatever.
• 54:42
  SPEAKER_02: And it's like it's I mean, it's one less thing that you actually have to think about.
• 54:46
  SPEAKER_02: But like, you know, you can run that with any anything.
• 54:49
  SPEAKER_02: You can run that with anything.
• 54:51
  SPEAKER_02: Like, I mean, you know, I don't have to decide every day where I want to go get lunch because I bring my lunch.
• 54:55
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you know, and I have like three different options at the house of like what I'm gonna eat on a given day, and so or yeah, within a given week.
• 55:06
  SPEAKER_02: And so it's like, okay, well, I'm gonna choose this, that, or the other thing, and like that's easy, and I don't have to think about it.
• 55:12
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so it's like you know, it's how you do one thing is how you do everything, type type deal.
• 55:18
  SPEAKER_02: It's like you can so it's just a matter of the the process of becoming most efficient, I guess.
• 55:27
