233
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 4: was like, man, this, you know, I really missed doing this.

234

236
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 4: you know, summer's doing projects with him. And then you know,

237
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 4: so I've always worked in my hands. I always loved

238
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 4: doing it, and yeah, just you know, started doing the projects.

239
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 4: I goes, hey, man, you know, maybe I can do

240
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,199
Speaker 4: this on my own, and I kind of word of

241
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 4: mouth started off, and before I knew it, I was

242
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 4: booked out, you know, six to eight months, and just

243
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 4: ended up having to leave my cushy corporate job and

244
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 4: take the step off the Cliff, and it's just been

245
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,600

332
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 4: It started back when, you know, in high school and Uh,

333
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 4: you know, I went back. I loved all my shop

334
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 4: classes and all that good stuff. And when I came

335
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 4: home on leave a couple of years and I went

336
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 4: back to visit my autoshop teacher, mister Palm back in

337
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 4: the day cool and uh, we're kind of walking through

338
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 4: and there was a cabinet shop when I was there,

339
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 4: and two years later there were it was gone and

340
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 4: they were turning into like computer labs. And you know,

341
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 4: there was a kind of started back then. It was

342
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 4: like a big push for oh, if you don't go

343
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 4: to a four year university, you're not going to be

344
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 4: successful in life. And you know, that stuck with me

345
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 4: all these years. And you know, my my mission I

346
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 4: knew when I started a company, I'm like, one of

347
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 4: my biggest things is how can we let kids know

348
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 4: that there's more than just a four year college and

349
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 4: college debt and all that stuff. There's some incredible careers

350
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 4: that can be had and some incredible money to be made.

351
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: Aaron very similar to when I have been going studio

352
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: when he's talking about high school age kids and this

353
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: next gen trades challenge, how important it is to to

354
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: our community, to the trades industry, and you guys believe

355
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: the same just the same way that Nick does. As

356
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: far as making sure these high school kids know this

357
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: is an option.

358
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I mean college isn't for everybody. I'm never

359
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 3: going to tell anybody not to go to college because

360
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 3: it might work for you. What might work for you

361
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 3: doesn't work for somebody else. But just the next gen.

362
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 3: It just shows shows the kids out there that there's

363
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 3: there are other options because I was in a similar boat.

364
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 3: All throughout high school. I was told you're not going

365
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 3: to succeed if you don't go to college. My choices

366
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 3: when I was in high school were to go to

367
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 3: college or go go work out in the Permian Basin

368
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 3: in Nova Field, Like, that's those are or did you

369
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 3: grow up I grew up in South Texas.

370
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:31,719
Speaker 1: Okay, so those are your options.

371
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, those were my options. And never I mean I

372
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 3: grew up in a super small town and we had

373
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 3: an ad class, never had a work a workshop with

374
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 3: shop class, auto shop anything like that. So just to

375
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 3: see these kids being presented with the opportunity, that's so

376
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 3: great to see.

377
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: Hey, if you're going to the Narry Spring Show today

378
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: at twelve thirty, guess the price. What does a remodel

379
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 1: really cost and you're you're going to see that. I

380
00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: had a chance to do that years ago. It was

381
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: really fun. Like people watch these thirty minute TV shows

382
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: and they think, oh, it's you know, it's fourteen thousand dollars.

383
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: I'm going to have a whole new kitchen and master

384
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: bass at HGTV syndrome. Yeah. Yeah, and look, those shows

385
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 1: are great. They are They give people like me a

386
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 1: bunch of ideas. But look, you're not going to get

387
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 1: it done in thirty minutes, not going to be fourteen grand.

388
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: Let's just be honest with this stuff. And so now

389
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 1: you get to get up on stage and talk about

390
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: guess the price and what does the remodel really cost,

391
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: and people then can guess and you walk through it.

392
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 4: You have fun doing that. Yeah, it was fantastic. We

393
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 4: had our first one yesterday. We're doing it again today

394
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 4: at twelve thirty and then tomorrow at twelve thirty at

395
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 4: the blifferd Lumber Beach House area at the home show.

396
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 4: And yeah, it's just a great opportunity for us. I'm

397
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 4: huge on education too. I actually have a page on

398
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:56,479
Speaker 4: my website it's like a homeowner guidance page just to

399
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 4: educate people on what to look out for, you know,

400
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 4: when dealing with a project, you know, expect delays or

401
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 4: you know, uh, price increases, anything like that.

402
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 1: But you know, I think a lot of people they do.

403
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 4: It's easy to watch those shows and be like, oh,

404
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 4: well this doesn't look like that big of a deal,

405
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 4: but you know you might have to move mechanicals, you

406
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 4: might have to you know, you have to think about

407
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 4: the design and everything in it, and you know there

408
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 4: can be unexpected costs with that. So it was really

409
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,199
Speaker 4: cool just to kind of present it as one of

410
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 4: our Actually, we won three different Nary Remindel of the

411
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 4: Year awards this year for three projects. We won three

412
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 4: silver awards, and so we got to present the basement

413
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 4: that we did in Menominee Falls that that won a

414
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 4: silver war this year. So it was pretty awesome to

415
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 4: display that and then talk to homeowners about it.

416
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:46,800

00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:32,840

516
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 4: great vendors down there, and outside of just the vendors

517
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:42,400
Speaker 4: and other contractors there, having all the different interactive areas

518
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 4: that homeowners can come through and you know, get educated

519
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 4: and and just talk about, you know, what they're looking

520
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 4: to do at their house. And like we talked about earlier,

521
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 4: we have the I guess the price discussion at twelve

522
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 4: thirty every day, and then there's a bunch of other

523
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 4: ones going on every day too, So that's over at

524
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 4: the Blifford Beach House area at the home show and

525
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 4: just all day some really really great discussions from industry professionals.

526
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: You know, we talked about this last week and last

527
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 1: year as well, but Michelle Brown wrote a really good

528
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 1: piece Steps to Prepare for a Home Show, And look,

529
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 1: I just think if you just glance at this and

530
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 1: you know, get yourself ready before you go in, rather

531
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 1: than thinking, okay, there's I have two wants, but I

532
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: have seventeen needs. I think if you read this piece

533
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 1: that she did and then go and look at at

534
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: the map, I'm where the different people you want to

535
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: talk to. Look if you're gonna spend four hours there,

536
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 1: spend four hours and get four hours worth of good

537
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 1: stuff through it, rather than walking in and going, Okay,

538
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: well what do I want to do? Who do I

539
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: want to talk to? Do a little prep work. I

540
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 1: think Nick your finding out and Aaron, I'll start with

541
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 1: you on this. In today's world, people are way more

542
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: prepared to start getting work done now than they used

543
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 1: to be. It used to be, well, what do you think?

544
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: How should I? What color? Should what cabinets? How should

545
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 1: I do this? Now they're coming in with here the cabinets,

546
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:12,640
Speaker 1: here's the color, and this is what I want.

547
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 3: You've got all the information at your fingertips nowadays. And

548
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 3: I mean it makes it. It's a it's a horse piece.

549
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 3: It makes our job as remodelers and repairs easier and

550
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 3: more difficult, because easier because we know what they want.

551
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 3: More difficult because they see this beautiful cabinet set up

552
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 3: and they have a budget of fifteen thousand dollars for

553
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 3: the entire kitchen and your cabinets set up's gonna be

554
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 3: twenty thousand dollars, is the one you're showing me on

555
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 3: park costs?

556
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 1: Just start the cabinets, right, Yeah?

557
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 3: And I mean it's and it's great. Like you said,

558
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 3: you should probably go to the show with a plan,

559
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 3: because you talked about four hours. I think if you

560
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 3: wouldn't talk to every vendor there, I don't. I don't

561
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:56,439
Speaker 3: think you can get through it in four hours.

562
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, do you know, I think you might be able

563
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 1: to if you plan it ahead, right, if you if

564
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,360
Speaker 1: you look like I want to go meet Nick. He's

565
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: at booth fifteen forty five. And Nick, when when you

566
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: get a chance to meet people that come in and say, hey, listen,

567
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:14,880
Speaker 1: I heard you on that show this morning. I want

568
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: to talk to you about this part this project that

569
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 1: I want to do in spring or summer. How good?

570
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: How early on do you think they either they feel

571
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 1: comfortable with you or you, you know, feel comfortable with them.

572
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,919
Speaker 1: And how early into that conversation do you have to

573
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: talk budget?

574
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 4: You know, I think it's part of the conversation. I

575
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 4: think I don't jump to budget. I think it's more

576
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 4: of just kind of trying to understand exactly what they're

577
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 4: trying to do and what they're trying to look for.

578
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:43,880
Speaker 1: You know, I approach a little differently.

579
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 4: I'm not I'm not the type of person I'm looking

580
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 4: to make like a quick sale and just you know,

581
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:51,199
Speaker 4: high pressure and just you know, pound somebody to you know,

00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 4: get get a quick sale.

583
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: And move on.

584
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 4: I'm really big into relationship building with our customers. So

585
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 4: I have multiple customers that we've done to reprojects at

586
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 4: their house and that you know, I was actually talking

Speaker 4: to Randy Miller with all Right Exteriors about that at

588
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 4: the Fall show, and you know, he had kind of

589
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 4: we look at the same way where you know, we're

590
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 4: we're gonna get our customers. We want to educate our customers.

Speaker 4: We want to make sure they have everything they need

592
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 4: to make a good informed decision. But it's not really

Speaker 4: an eight percent mortgage right now. So you know, how

620
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 4: can we unlock some value in our in our existing home.

621
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 4: And there's so many different ways to do it. You

622
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 4: can look at the basement, you can look at doing

623
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 4: an addition. You know, we've done sunroom editions things like

624
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 4: that just to kind of add on some great space

625
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 4: to their existing home. There's so much you can do

626
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 4: to your existing home.

627
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 3: Would you say your favorite thing to do is, like

628
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 3: we we dabble remodels and everything you can think of.

629
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 3: My favorite thing is to just walk into these century

630
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 3: old houses that are in shambles, and after spending time there,

631
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 3: just to leave, close the door. Right before you close

632
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 3: the door for the last time, you look back and

633
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 3: it's just beautifully restored, all the plasters perfect and Crown

634
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 3: Molden's back up, your original Crown Molden's back up. I

635
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 3: love the historical restoration aspect of it. And I mean

636
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 3: everybody's got their favorite thing to do.

637
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it's it's definitely that. Like I'm such

638
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 4: a visual person, Like I walk into a space and

639
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 4: I can see what it's gonna look like in advance.

640
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 1: You know, and you realize that's a gift, right Yeah.

641
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 4: And it's It's one of those things that it's almost

642
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 4: unfair to the home and I'm like, I can already

643
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 4: see this done, and now I have to, you know,

644
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 4: put it together so you can see it, you know,

645
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 4: ahead of time. But yeah, I mean, you know, basements

646
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 4: are I think are are so fun because of the

647
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 4: challenge of the doing the designs of basements and the

648
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 4: challenges that you have because there's so many immovable objects

649
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 4: in the basement. You have steel posts and mechanicals and

650
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 4: plumbing stacks and all sorts of stuff, and you know,

651
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 4: how can we maximize that space and and really get

652
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 4: the checklist? You know, one of my first questions the

653
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 4: homeowners is what are you looking to get out of this,

654
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 4: because I think there's so many remodelers out there that

655
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 4: are like, hey, let me, let me just throw a

656
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 4: box in here for you. You know, I'll throw up

657
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 4: some walls and you'll have a nice clean space down here.

658
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 4: But and that's great, you know some people that's all

659
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 4: they need. But it's like, hey, you know, what do

660
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 4: you want to do with the space? Do you want

661
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 4: to entertain? Do you you know, need it for the kids?

662
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 4: Do you know? And you know, I have teenagers at

663
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 4: our house. And so when I when I talk to

664
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 4: a family that has younger kids, I can understand where

665
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 4: they're going to and how the kid's interests change year

666
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 4: to year, And how can we build a space that's

667
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 4: gonna change with them and not have them locked into

668
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 4: a certain design that is, you know, specifically for you know,

669
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 4: kid focused area. How can we you know, make it

670
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 4: so that hey, now when they're teens, they're gonna be

671
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 4: you know, sitting around watching movies or playing games more.

672
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 4: But the space is still gonna work for that, and

673
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:04,719
Speaker 4: they're gonna get that more value.

674
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: Guys at State Fair Park today, doors open at ten o'clock,

Speaker 1: presentations at the Lumber Blifferd Lumber Beach House and a

695
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: lot of things to be able to see a lot

696
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: of people who talk to you over one hundred and

697
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 1: fifty home improvement reminding experts. They're all Naring members and

698
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: and look if Bingo was here and Aaron would tell

699
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 1: you the same thing. You know, there's something different about

700
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 1: Nary members. You can't just send them a check and

701
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: be a Nary member. They vet you and they make

702
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 1: sure that you're an upstanding company before you're even allowed

703
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 1: to be a Nary member. And that certainly sets them apart.

704
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, there's a whole application process. And like

705
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 3: you said, you can't just pay your way in. You've

706
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 3: got to you've got to earn your way in, and

707
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 3: you can earn your way out if they're complaints and

708
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 3: stuff about your company. They're they're very strict about kicking

709
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 3: people out because it's they hold the contractors to a

710
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 3: higher standard. And I think think nary really helps helps

711
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 3: the customer feel at ease because they know you're being

712
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 3: held at a higher standard.

713
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with that. So when you go to

714
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 1: State Fair Park today or tomorrow again ten am to

715
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 1: seven today, ten am to five pm tomorrow, don't go

716
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 1: at four point thirty tomorrow and think you can be

717
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 1: able to get through a whole bunch of stuff, because

718
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 1: that's kind of when guys are starting to go. Okay,

719
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 1: if it gets slower, I'm gonna start wrapping up a

720
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: little bit. Don't go well, if that's the only time

721
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 1: you can go and you want to run through it.

722
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 1: You know, Nick, I've told this story a bunch of times,

723
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 1: but the first the first year that I work that event,

724
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: and I was doing the PA mentions from that little

725
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: office and then going out and introducing people up on stages.

726
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 1: I was leaving and a woman was zipping past me

727
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,839
Speaker 1: talking to herself, and I'm like, are you okay? She goes, Oh,

728
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: my husband is so mad at me. I go, what's

729
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 1: going on? She goes, we need windows? So I came over.

730
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 1: It's just gonna be a half hour. But now I

731
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 1: have a whole bunch of wants and I'm supposed to be

732
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 1: homemaking dinner. And he keeps calling me saying where are you?

733
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: And she goes, I was supposed to be your in

734
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: and out in a half hour. It's been three and

735
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: a half hours and it's so much fun. But he's

736
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 1: going to be really mad at me. So be prepared

737
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,879
Speaker 1: for this. And when you go over there, make sure

738
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:10,920

801
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 4: And you know, I think one thing a lot of

802
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 4: people don't understand if they're if they want a larger

803
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 4: project like an addition or you know, even like some

804
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 4: of the larger basements, the planning process takes some time

805
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 4: to you know, really make sure the design gets gets

806
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:23,720
Speaker 4: done correctly. The permitting process depending on you know where,

807
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 4: uh what city you're working in, so really, you know,

808
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,799
Speaker 4: it sometimes can take a lot longer than you than

809
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,080

00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 4: Milwaukee is just how engaged all the members are and

833
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:57,439
Speaker 4: how passionate they are about growing the trades. And yeah,

834
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,839
Speaker 4: we tell kids all the time, come on down, have conversations.

835
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 4: See what's going on. You had Tom Herman in here

836
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 4: with Haley a couple of weeks ago. Him and I

837
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:07,400
Speaker 4: do a lot with him as well. He's got the

838
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 4: Franklin High School hiring event. I believe that's March fourth,

839
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 4: and that's for all the high school kids in the area.

840
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 4: That's I had Haley down there with me last year. Kayla,

841
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:19,839
Speaker 4: we met her last year and she worked with us

842
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 4: this last summer. And she was only a sophomore last year,

843
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 4: so she's a junior right now. She got an opportunity

844
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:28,399
Speaker 4: to do some stuff with JM. Brennan this summer, and

845
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,400
Speaker 4: you know, that's what it's all about. Get all the experience.

846
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 4: You guys are young. You got time, you know, my

847
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:33,839
Speaker 4: bodies to figure it out.

848
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 1: You know. Yeah, It's taken me a lot longer. Hell,

849
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:39,799
Speaker 1: I'm still not quite sure what I want to do

850
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:43,319
Speaker 1: with my wife exactly. The back the backyard oasis that

851
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 1: they have at State for a park during the for

852
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 1: the next two days during the Spring Homing Prumad show.

853
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:51,919
Speaker 1: You know, you you do a lot, Like you said

854
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:55,399
Speaker 1: with Dex that that outdoor living space is so big

855
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:57,720
Speaker 1: in our community now, and it's just growing and people

856
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,040
Speaker 1: are trying to get new ideas on how to be

857
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 1: able to use that utilize that space because for about

858
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:06,319
Speaker 1: half of the year we're not outside, right and and

859
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 1: when you can utilize it for those six or seven months,

860
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 1: you want to make take full advantage of it. And

861
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 1: I think that that category is just exploding.

862
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is, and it's you know, it's it's it's again,

863
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 4: it's about unlocking the different spaces and the usability of

864
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 4: your home. And the backyard is another space that hey,

865
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 4: we can do some you know, we don't necessarily do it.

866
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:31,719

00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:35,399
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe that guys that completely compete against each

928
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:38,239
Speaker 1: other are sitting there talking about, Hey, did you get

929
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:40,920
Speaker 1: called in to give a quote for this job? Oh?

930
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,399
Speaker 1: You did? How did you handle this? And I'm going

931
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:45,319
Speaker 1: in the next week and what do you think about that?

932
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 1: And They're all like, as a basketball coach, I'd never

933
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:50,759
Speaker 1: talked to the guy I'm competed against. I'm not going

934
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:52,879
Speaker 1: to tell him what I do or what I'm going

935
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 1: to do when I coach against him. And so I

936
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:58,240
Speaker 1: was so surprised by that. And that's impressive to you, Nick.

937
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I mean, and I've I've said that before too,

938
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,400
Speaker 4: And you know it's Narry's definitely. You know, whatever you

939
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:06,800
Speaker 4: put into it, you get out of it. And I

940
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:10,880
Speaker 4: don't see any of these companies as competitors. There's you know,

941
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:12,759
Speaker 4: we all we all have our our unique way of

942
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 4: doing things and our our unique visions and you know,

943
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:18,879
Speaker 4: it's really just making connections with customers. And it's it's

944
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 4: really up to the customers to decide, you know, who

945
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 4: they want to go with and whose vision they like

946
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 4: the best. And you know, I have so many great

947
00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:30,920
Speaker 4: almost mentors, uh that are in Narry and work with

948
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 4: other you know, customers and clients and stuff. And and honestly,

949
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 4: it's been the networking alone, it has been great. I

950
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:39,840
Speaker 4: go to a bunch of the after fives and you know,

951
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 4: I've I've just in some conversations. It's I've discovered you know,

952
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 4: software like processes to help improve our business and you're

953
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 4: just learning that from other contractors and stuff too. So

954
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:53,439
Speaker 4: it's it's fantastic. And you know, and it's really about

955
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:55,440
Speaker 4: when when we're at a home, you know, we we

956
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 4: really try to focus on what we do and you know,

957
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 4: people will be talking about, well, I don't know, I

958
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:03,240
Speaker 4: might have to get gutters and a roofs first before

959
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 4: I do my basement. Oh well, hey, call these guys,

960
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:08,080

961
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 4: you know. And so it's it's great to have, you know,

962
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 4: because people look at us as trusted professionals too. And

963
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 4: if I'm referring somebody that holds a lot of weight

964
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 4: for customers too.

965
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:19,680
Speaker 1: You know, saying that first segment we talked about there's

966
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,319
Speaker 1: still time to get on your calendar for plaster work,

967
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:25,840
Speaker 1: and in the commercial said, look, just don't dry wallet.

968
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:29,799
Speaker 1: Let's let's bring the charm back and have it done

969
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 1: the way the way it looked prior to. And I

970
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:36,919
Speaker 1: think it's important that people understand that if we wait

971
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 1: another month, it's going to be really hard to get

972
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:40,800
Speaker 1: on that calendar with you guys.

973
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 2: Oh for sure, because the spring and summer they're warming up,

974
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 2: and then as soon as it gets above thirty five degrees,

975
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:50,440
Speaker 2: the crews are back outside. So time to get that

976
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:51,760
Speaker 2: plaster work done.

977
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:52,920

1003

1007
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:18,560
Speaker 3: to cut it off side and yet so that's got

1008
