Speaker 1: Mr frost Man, tell us a little bit about you man,

75
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 1: as as before cannabis. I want to hear like you

76
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 1: know who you are, um, you know where you're from,

77
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: and and a little bit about your background. I appreciate that.

78
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: It's a it's a good I think It's a story

79
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: that is is widespread throughout the industry. Right. So, you know,

80
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: my background wasn't in in finance and insurance. It was

81
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: in finance, corporate finance for twelve years. And my dad

82
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: got diagnosed in two thousand and ten with stage four

83
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: prostect cancer. And you know, you can live with that

84
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: for a long time with the right medication and whatnot.

85
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: And unfortunately, three years into his you know, has diagnosis,

86
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 1: he developed just a tumor the size of a football

87
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: in his stomach, and im and the chemo, you know,

88
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 1: and then he had radiation, seeds and all this. And

89
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: he would get home and he do chemo, and he

90
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: take his pills and then he'd he'd take a milkshake

91
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: because an upset his stomach so much, right, and and

92
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: he was just dying from the medication I was supposed

93
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: to save his life. And so he switched to cannabis,

94
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: he switched to edibles, and he fully stopped, you know, chemo.

95
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: He said, you know, my dad was an o G man,

96
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: like in the seventies, got arrested for selling acid. He

97
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: was just a Harley o G. Yeah, So he was like,

98
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: what happened? I drank from other water, I'll but you know,

99
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: and so like he stopped the treatment in general and

100
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 1: just cold turkey and went straight to edibles and edibles.

101
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: It was like CBD edible cbg C. It was t

102
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: A she mixed with little TBD, you know, because he

103
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 1: needed that you fork experience, right, because they took him

104
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: out of the mindset of him dying. And we knew

105
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: it was inevitable, right, they gave him like two years

106
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 1: to live or whatever the case was. Um. And but

107
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: it got him from upstairs and downstairs, you know, it

108
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: got him to be able to watch the Super Bowl

109
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: out of the you know, it's continued. It's crazy though.

110
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,679
Speaker 1: And you know, I was sitting there in two thousand

111
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: and fourteen my dad passed February two thousand and fifteen.

112
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: And two thousand and fourteen, I was getting recruited by

113
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 1: a top five firm, UH to leave my industry, and

114
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: they wanted me to be in this construction field right

115
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: and and help us management there. And I said no,

116
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,239
Speaker 1: I said, you know, this is what's happening with my father,

117
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: and if I'm making a career jump, this is what

118
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: I want to do. And you know, in the Northwest

119
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: and two thousand and fourteen. It was really taken off,

120
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: but no one was really doing what I what I do,

121
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: and corporate at the time said no, but my local

122
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: office that I reported to was like, all right, let's

123
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 1: give it a try, let's do it. So I was

124
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: able to to make that jump right before my pop

125
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 1: passed um. And I just I didn't know what I

126
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: was doing. I was drinking out of fire. I was like,

127
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: everyone's still to the state ten years in almost right,

128
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: It's like everyone's still drinking from a fire hose in

129
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: cannabis is dog ears right, you know? And and I

130
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: just spent time at cultivations and retails and and learned

131
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: what their their pain points were and what they were

132
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: even doing or how they were doing it, or or

133
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: what made their successes, what made their downfalls? Were you

134
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: medicinable for recreationally? You know, like just learning about everything

135
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: about it. And then I had to go and find,

136
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: you know, financial institutions to help him out or insurance

137
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: careers to find him out. And then the one that

138
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: was insuring basically every cannabis company in the world, Boyd's London,

139
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: pulled out into that four and then everyone held the bag.

140
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: They're like what do we do? So that was my

141
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: job and I was very lucky that, you know, it

142
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: was the snowball effect. I've been blessed that it was

143
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: one account that turned into five accounts that turned into

144
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: fifteen accounts that turned into this. And you know it

145
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: was over ferral base because I helped one homie that

146
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: got awarded a license and he just spread the word

147
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: for me, man, and we did the right thing. And

148
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: then you know they say good news travels faster than

149
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: bad news. Do that. I think we're talking about it

150
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: that he probably got it back. No, that was intended.

151
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: But yeah, wait wait no, perfect for really you know

152
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 1: what it is. But cannabis is it's such a I

153
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: mean it's a large industry, but it's so small. Yeah.

154
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: And if you do one thing right, everyone hears about it.

155
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: You do wrong thing, one thing wrong, and everybody in

156
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: their uncle I'm a bad act you always say it. Yeah,

157
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: you know, I'll tell you real quick, man, and it

158
00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: just off subject. But in the same you know, room

159
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: is that without people that are bad actors, without people

160
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: that have you know, that do wrong and show you

161
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: their asks. If you will, you know, you can't learn.

162
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: You know what I mean because some of my biggest

163
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: mentors are the people that took the most advantage of me,

164
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: you know, And I hate to say that, but but

165
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: but I choose to use that and not be angry,

166
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: not be upset, to be okay, I'll take it, you

167
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like, these people showed me that

168
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 1: they were here to hurt me, they were here to

169
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: take from me, And and yet I learned the most

170
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: from them because it was how I learned how to grow.

171
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: And and so by using that, you know, I hope

172
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: that people can look at all the bad things that

173
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: happened to them and learn from those things and and

174
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,719
Speaker 1: and become more powerful um with them and use them.

175
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: So I feel like that's you know, the story of

176
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 1: a lot of us. You know, I agree completely. I mean,

177
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: complacency is the biggest regret for people, right if you

178
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: don't get outside of your box and learn from your mistakes.

179
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 1: And what are you doing? Right? Like, we have one

180

Speaker 1: shot at what we're doing. Let's make it the best.

181
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,839
Speaker 1: And if you're not growing, you're dying. If you're not learning,

182
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: you're dying. Right. I hear that, man, I speak of

183
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 1: one shot. Let's take a breaking when you're right back

189
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: of the question. But I got so many questions, Cliff,

190
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: I didn't you didn't hang us off? Hang off, Cliff.

191
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: You guys walk right over the edge right now. Let's

192
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: get there. So let's pretend like I'm the dumbest one

193
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: in the room. One risk management um, you know, for

194
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: our listeners. You know, who are you know, starting the

195
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: foundations right now we're continuing the foundations. Who are hitting

196
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: these roadblocks? I've we're talking about what does risk management entail?

197
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: What is that? So it's you know, for us insurance

198
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: pace the pills, right, we placed policies. We get paid

199
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: by the carrier. A lot of our competition be those services, right,

200
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,959
Speaker 1: and they charge the percentage for it where we don't

201
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: because we already get paid for the insurance carry We're

202
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 1: not in it for the dollars and cents. We're in

203
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: it for the clients and the industry, right, And so

204
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: we say no a lot. Like I was mentioned earlier,

205
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: like I don't take every client because if you're not

206
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: a right fit for us, and you're not in it

207
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:33,839
Speaker 1: for the industry, it doesn't make sense for us. We

208
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: don't either, yeah right, I mean, and that that comes

209
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: with age, right and experience because at at the get

210
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: I tuned down a client today, but you know what,

211
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,199
Speaker 1: we want nothing to do with them. Yeah, I fired

212
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: a client on Friday. Yeah, you know, it's like, never mind,

213
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: but I hired you. You can't fire me, right, just

214
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,839
Speaker 1: like oh, hey, have you ever heard of the forty

215
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: and the click click? You don't you say quick? You

216
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 1: just I get it though, yeah. Yeah. So like for

217
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: what we do is we always tell people as like

218
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: we're not in the insurance business. We're in protecting your

219
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: balance sheet business. Right. Our job is to help you

220
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 1: grow and make sure that if there's a catastrophic loss

221
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: or whatever, that we're there to back you up through

222
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,839
Speaker 1: insurance programs. But again that's what pays the bills. How

223
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 1: we help our clients is through relationships. You know, you

224
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 1: need a c p A. We got you. You need

225
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 1: an attorney, we got you. You You need a vendor. We

226
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: got you. You need to get your product on the shelf.

227
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,199
Speaker 1: I'll introduce you to my clients here that are in distribution.

228
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: You need this that it's a rolodex, right, And that's

229
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: what happens when you have you know, ten years of

230
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: experience in relationships, is that you can call on those

231
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: folks to you know, pull favors of course, right, and

232
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: some documents made check please, you know. But in the

233
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 1: coolest thing about what we get it do is, you know,

234
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: we get to see what's underneath the company, right, Like

235
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: most consumers just see what products are and not how

236
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: they're developed or how the businesses ran or how they

237
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: treat their employees. Right, we get to see all of

238
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: that and that it's like watching a credit report, right

239
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: of a company versus a personal you know, as a person. Right,

240
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: you go buy a car, you get a credit report,

241
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: They're like, you're industrates this Like, no, I don't want that, right, Well,

242
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:28,839
Speaker 1: you got this, this and this. We get a look

243
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: at all that stuff and be like, yo, you run

244
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: a great company or you gotta do something different, right exactly,

245
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 1: you know, and one of the MSL is gonna come

246
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: up and bite you out and then you're kind of

247
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: holding the bag, and so we get to see the

248
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: ins and outs of every business and it's so much fun. Man. Honestly,

249
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 1: it's it's a blessing that we get to do what

250
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: we gotta do, and and we do it for the industry.

251
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: We don't do it for the money. Man. So you guys,

252
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 1: you guys, you guys go through the company. Yeah, evaluate

253
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: the company and then find them funding or so we

254
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,439
Speaker 1: can we have relationships that can help fund and capitalize

255
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: those businesses. But we go in and say, are luckily,

256
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: no cannabis industry needs funding, right never, no, no, and

257
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 1: they're all doing well on the killing none of us

258
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: any help, but you know, we'll go in and we'll

259
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: you know, the new emerging markets are tough right now,

260
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: right because you have what experienced in California and the

261
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: Pacific Northwest and Oregon and Washington and Alaska, all these

262
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: they've never owned a business before. They get award a license,

263
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: but they don't know how to run a business, right,

264
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: so they put every dollar in cince that they have

265
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: in it and then they got to go to their

266
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: friends and family to get their money and say, all right,

267
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: I'll pay you back with this most of the time

268
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: it doesn't work. Unfortunately, you're dealing mainly licensed operators. Yeah,

269
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: we only deal with license so we don't do any

270
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: of the list of market because for us to do

271
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: what we do, I mean smart, we can't. But like

272
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: you're saying, you know there's in any industry, I feel

273
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 1: like there's builders and their sellers. Yeah, you can and

274
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: have the most amazing product, farm whatever, but you can't

275
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: communicate that product. You can't. Yeah, you can't build the brands, right,

276
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: I mean the reputation and the brand. And you know, look,

277
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: there there's a ton of buying flip aggregators out there

278
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: right that everybody knows. They come in there and buy

279
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: it and make it their own brand and stuff like that.

280
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: That's that's great, that's you know, they're they're needed, right.

281
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: It's similar to run to the market until what we're

282
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: talking a Delta and Alaska Airlines. They're needed. But spirit

283
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: in Frontier is still there to back you up. Right.

284
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: But you know, when you get awarded a license, then

285
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: what you don't know anything for sure. And the laws

286
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: are changing every laws are changing every day. And that's

287
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: my fear with federal legalization rights gonna change heavy. It's

288
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: gonna change heavy. But the states are still struggling to

289
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: keep up with it. You think when federal the legalization happens,

290
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: what's gonna it's gonna be drinking out of a firehose,

291
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: right right. State's got to get it right now, man.

292
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: And and so we'll come in there and we'll say,

293
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: all right, this is what you need. You need an attorney,

294
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: you need a cp A. You need insurance to protect

295
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: your assets. You need insurance to protect your employees. And

296
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: guess what, when you think you're gonna make million dollars

297
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: on one dispensary, you're putting twenty three million dollars back

298
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: in the business to keep your employees to Canada. You

299
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: know what I often look at is is we're building

300
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: a plane in the middle there right the planes up

301
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: that you know that you got it off the ground,

302
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: but you don't have any landing gear, you can don't

303
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: have any you know, you know support, you know, because

304
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: we're looking at the industry right now that doesn't have

305
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: you know, uh banking. We don't have traditional banking for sure,

306
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: um we we you know, we're relying on you know

307
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: a lot of the illicit market the traditional market. However

308
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: you want to call it um to show these you know,

309
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: operators that may have came from the real estate field,

310
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: that may have came from the NFL, that may have

311
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: came from the different you know sectors, and they don't

312
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: have um what we would say that the understanding of

313
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: how that place works. But at the same time, they

314
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: know they want to be involved because they have an

315
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 1: intimate relationship. Yeah, and they think it's the oil and gas,

316
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:08,719
Speaker 1: you know, it's the tech boom and thing, and they

317
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 1: want to get in the money. And you know, I

318
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: got in from the medicine, right, Like I care if

319
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: if if someone is struggling with PTSD or anxiety or

320
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: stress whatever, and they go to a retailer dispensary and

321
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 1: that bud tender is just pulling product because they pay

322
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 1: them spiffs or whatever, but they don't listen to what

323
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 1: they're having. That's a problem. Right, We're dealing with a market.

324
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 1: They can go away, unfortunately, but we need to protect

325
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,919
Speaker 1: this with the right technology and the right leadership and

326
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 1: the right education to make it grow and not stay

327
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: where it is today because unfortunately, ten years in, we're

328
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: still in the first inning of the preseason baseball game

329
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: and right, well, for for for a lot of people.

330
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 1: I think that you know, most investors come in to

331
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,360
Speaker 1: invest and they're excited about the opportunity to be involved

332
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 1: in something that's happening. Uh, you know that they're not

333
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: sure about right, They're they're more focused on like, hey,

334
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna um, you know, we're gonna win because it's

335
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: a good investment right now. But what they don't realize

336
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: is that, you know, you're walking into a new industry

337
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 1: that nobody has all the answers to, you know, and

338
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 1: you know, and and there's a lot of good, good

339
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 1: actors and good good performers and good operators, and then

340
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people that are just batshit crazy

341
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 1: and they think they know everything. And I could share

342
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: with you, you know, from me, like I've set with

343
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 1: people and they're like, oh, we're gonna make this and

344
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna do that, and I'm like, listen, it's not realistic,

345
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: you know, and they're and they're mad at me for

346
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: telling them that this is unrealistic, you know. I mean

347
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,679
Speaker 1: we have those daily conversations, especially like new Licensey winners. Right,

348
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna do three million dollars this year. It's like, no,

349
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 1: you're not, Yeah, no, you know. I mean the first

350
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: six months, I was like, you'll be lucky to have

351
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 1: doors open in seven months, right, and then if you

352
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 1: do three and a half million, you're gonna be a

353
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: a breadwinner because no one comes out of the gate

354
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: doing three million dollars a year, right, And our biggest

355
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: you kind of to your point, like our biggest fear

356
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 1: or what actually keeps us in business is the guys

357
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: that you know, have done risk management and insurance for

358
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 1: twenty thirty years in construction or hospitality, but then going

359
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: to cannabis because they think it is the new money

360
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 1: maker or whatever. But then they're doing a disservice to

361
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 1: all their clients. And then when we get them, that's

362
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: what keeps us in business. Right, So like you can

363
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 1: have someone that's been doing it a lot longer than us,

364
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 1: but you can't get somebody that's done it better than us. Right,

365
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: We're never gonna be the biggest, but I guarantee you

366
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 1: give me on the table with my team will be

367
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 1: the best. And that's all we care about. I like that,

368
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: you know. I think it's important too to one have,

369
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 1: you know, the ability to to want to serve people

370
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 1: and help people. You know, it's difficult because again, a

371
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: lot of people are here just for the money grab.

372
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 1: You know, they're they're here to just come in and

373
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 1: and and they don't care about tomorrow. They care about today.

374
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: And it's hard because when you have a company and

375
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: we care about tomorrow, sometimes we suffer because we still

376
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 1: have integrity, you know, and a lot of people don't

377
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: get that because you know, everybody wants today to be

378
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: the best day, but it doesn't happen that way, dude, Like,

379
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: that's not realistic. Man. Now it comes back to you

380
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: know what we've always here. There's rich and then there's wealthy.

381
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: You know, there's reputation, and then there's legacy. What do

382
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 1: you want to choose? Like for us, we want legacy.

383
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 1: I don't care, like we're gonna do what's right for

384
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: the industry for our clients. Build it the right way

385
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: and not the wrong way. And that was my experience

386
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,719
Speaker 1: prior to right is. I built it, but I failed

387
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 1: that building it. I mean, we were both the most

388
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: successful practice in the world, but I failed at it

389
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: internally and mentally for me because it became about money

390
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: and it became about dollars and cents, and I forgot

391
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: why I got into it. Dude, I forgot my story

392
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 1: and I forgot And so when we launched, I've already

393
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: been through that, right, And I talked to my wife

394
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 1: and I said, this is gonna be the hardest couple

395
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,199
Speaker 1: of years of our life. And I have three daughters,

396
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: young daughters, six, four and two. Right, I said, I'm

397
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: gonna be on the road a lot, but what we're

398
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 1: gonna build is what our legacy will be, and it'll

399
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: be the right way and not what I did it before.

400
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: My wife's like, well, if you don't do it, you're

401
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 1: gonna be miserable and I'm gonna have to hear about

402
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: its totally. Yeah. She's like, a, well, at the end

403
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:29,679
Speaker 1: of the day, I'm gonna have to hear about your

404
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: stress and anxiety and why you didn't do it and

405
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. She's like, just go do it. You know.

406
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: You know I say this, man, is that you know

407
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: a lot of people that aren't in your seat don't

408
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: understand that. You know what I mean? And I get that,

409
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: you know, because again I can do you know, smashing

410
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: grabs right now, you know, I know, I'm looking at

411
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: it like booh boah, bloah, boh. I could do this,

412
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: but it'll jeopardize my integrity. And we had to go

413
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,679
Speaker 1: through that ourselves recently, you know, in a in a

414
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 1: major way where it's like, you know, I could have

415
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:02,439
Speaker 1: jeopardized my integrity. I could have uppardized them, uh, the

416
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: team's integrity. I could have just you know, grabbed it.

417
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: And it wasn't really our smash and grabbed, you know,

418
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 1: it really was the right thing to do, but it

419
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: would have jeopardized our integrity. And instead I sit in

420
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 1: the background watching it and go, gosh, I'm getting stabbed

421
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: to death, you know. And I've been through those struggles,

422
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you, my younger me would have been like, nah,

423
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: this ain't happened like this, bro, I see it, and

424
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 1: I would have just, you know, I mean, choked him

425
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: out right there in the fucking front yard. But but then,

426
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: but my older means, like, yo, we have something special,

427
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: and in order to build something special, you gotta have

428
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: hard times. You gotta have you know, these, because hard

429
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: times create I agree. I mean, that's to our point earlier, right,

430
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 1: But there's a big part of that it's film up right,

431
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: like we we want it, we worry about it, and

432
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: we think it's gonna do this. But if you sit

433
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: back and you you really do the diligence on it,

434
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 1: you're like, no, this isn't right. As hard as it

435
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: can be to say that, it's tough, but I think

436
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 1: in the end it works out and it's the best

437
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 1: interest of it. Yeah, so let me ask you this,

472
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: my papa was long story. My parents didn't come from anything, right,

473
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,159
Speaker 1: Like I learned how to drive a manual transmission on

474
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 1: the tractor. My first job, yeah, my first job. It

475
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 1: was at thirteen, I was bailing hey and then went

476
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 1: into catering at fourteen fifteen, bagging groceries and and just

477
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 1: you know. That's how I was born and raised and

478
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 1: never stopped working since then. And my my parents were married,

479
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,439
Speaker 1: and the only reason they got married, It's funny story

480
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: is they wanted to go to Disneyland and they didn't

481
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,120
Speaker 1: have any money, so they got married, came to Disneyland,

482
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 1: and then came back. But they didn't have a place

483
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: to stay, so my dad slept in his car and

484
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 1: my mom stayed with a friend until my dad got

485
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,159
Speaker 1: picked up on his feet. And and one day my

486
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 1: dad was sleeping in his car next to it. We're

487
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 1: all baseball players, and my dad was a very successful

488
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: baseball player in high school and was sleeping in his

489
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,439
Speaker 1: car next to the ball field. This house across the

490
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: street saw him sleeping in there with his dome light on.

491
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,439
Speaker 1: She walked out, knocked on the door, said you come

492
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 1: inside for check this out. So so he gets in

493
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 1: for dinner. The guy's name was Ray Jamison. Gave my

494
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: dad a job. My dad was a logger at the time.

495
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: Gave my dad a job doing dealer trades for car dealerships.

496
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: So you want a car, they don't have it. They

497
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: traded for other dealership. So he was the driver, worked

498
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: his way up, owned a dealership Rand Dealerships for thirty

499
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: five years. Ray Jamison married my sister, not married her,

00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: and and our weddings. Yeah, so got keeping for a second.

504
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna step out for one second.

505
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: Sounds great, man. Yeah, So we were going into um

506
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: if you want to open the floor about your pops, man,

507
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: I know this is a story that comes from passion,

508
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: from um. You know, just you know you mentioned your

509
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,919
Speaker 1: dad had stage four was a prosy cancer and you

510
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: were giving him edibles. Man, So yeah, run us through

511
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 1: your relationships how obviously you do with the foundation of

512
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: your company came from so yeah, so you know it

513
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 1: for me it was you know, and for him he

514
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 1: was my best friend, like coach me and basketball coach

515
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: me in baseball, worked a lot, but always made time

516
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,199
Speaker 1: for sports. And so when I was fortunate enough that

517
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,439
Speaker 1: even though you know, he did die, I had the

518
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,639
Speaker 1: ability to ask all the questions that I want to

519
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: answers to, right, like what would you do differently? Or

520
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,719
Speaker 1: you know, how how can I avoid this situation and

521
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: stuff like that, and um, it was it was a

522
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 1: huge blessing. My best friend lost his mom immediately, so

523
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 1: we have this conversation often kind of what we were

524
00:27:55,880 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 1: talking about earlier. Communicating as men is very tough, right,

525
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:02,679
Speaker 1: and so you know, my best friend and I were

526
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: talking about this is like, what what do you think

527
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 1: is better losing them immediately or having the chance to

528
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,439
Speaker 1: have those conversations. And we've never had an answer, right

529
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:14,439
Speaker 1: because we both have different emotional connections to it or whatnot.

530
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,400
Speaker 1: And then you know, when the basis behind symphony grow

531
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: and symphony risks solutions stem from that. It was you know,

532
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 1: what can we do different and how can we differentiate

533
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,919
Speaker 1: ourselves from the top five brokers and retailers in the world.

534
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 1: And most companies are built with an infantstructure that you

535
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 1: have verticals or practice groups. Right, So, like what we

536
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: were talking about earlier is you could you could do

537
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 1: construction risk management for thirty years, but then get into

538
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 1: cannabis because you think it's you know, the new oil

539
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: on gas. You want to make more money or whatever.

540
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: But you're not an expert in that. You might be

541
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 1: an expert in can in construction because you've done it

542
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: for so long. So they have these practice groups that

543
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 1: anyone can be a part of. Right. Never just because

544
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: you've done it once doesn't make an expert. So when

545
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 1: Michael marcon Our, CEO and founder of Symphony Resolutions calls

546
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: and says, hey, look, this is what I want to do.

547
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: He built a firm and he sold it, very successful firm,

548
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 1: but they were private equity and m and A focused.

549
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 1: He said, I want to build businesses. He said, I

550
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: want Symphony Resolutions, but I want businesses, not verticals. So

551
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: I want you to be the president of Symphony Grow

552
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: and I want you to build the world class talent

553
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: around it and only deal with cannabis CBD and him.

554
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 1: Don't touch anything else because once you sway from that,

555
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: you're not the best, You're not world class professionals. Right,

556
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 1: You're you're going to fall to your competitors because you're

557
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: just the same as them. But we dedicate our entire life,

558
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: My staff and our team dedicate their entire life, day

559
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: in and day out, only this industry. So we know

560
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,959
Speaker 1: it from the front and back of uh you know

561
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 1: of a quarter, right, we get it, We know it.

562
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 1: Most firms don't do that. They will take on hair Salona,

563
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: they'll take on a construction company, and they'll take on

564
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: whatever it is, hospitality, hotel, they'll take it on and

565
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 1: then they'll do canvabus on the side. That's not how

566
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: our companies are built. So since we launched two years ago,

567
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: we have seven companies now in Symphony Resolutions that are

568
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: all world class teams that specialize in healthcare or or hospitality,

569
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 1: or cannabis or construction or whatever. And we're building it

570
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 1: out And like I said, we're not trying to be

571
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 1: the biggest. We just want to be the best at

572
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 1: it right and finding those people and that talent to

573
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: come join us um to build what our vision is

574
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: you know, it is tough to hire in any company

575
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: right now, it's tough to hire um. But the words

576
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 1: getting out on us and it's fantastic. Man, it's such

577
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 1: a blessing. I'm looking at your merch man. You came

578
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: in here with the blazers again. This guy's canvas. Guys

579
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 1: talking about the logo. Well, I was about to hit

580
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: him up. Yeah, this is this is the basis of

581
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: this is the basis of our company. Right. It's a symphony, right,

582
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: so we all work together. It no my company, you know,

583
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: my my clients. Not one of my team members, not

584
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 1: one of my staff doesn't know everything about our clients, right,

585
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: Because if I'm on a plane, you can't get ahold

586
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 1: of me. You can call Rich, you can call No,

Speaker 1: you can go Len And it doesn't matter who they are,

588
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: they know everything about your company. Where symphony we work together.

589
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: Every once in a while in a symphony, the conductor

590
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,959
Speaker 1: stands up and takes a solo or whatever, gets up

591
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:28,719
Speaker 1: on stage and you have to pop your head up

592
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 1: and say, okay, no, this is my team. But other

593
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 1: than that, we're a giant symphony and this is a conductor, right.

594
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 1: This is when they get up on stage and they

595
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: do the wand right. So all of our businesses are

596
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 1: built with the same philosophy. You have a music background, No,

597
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: I don't. My dad did. He was a drummer. No,

598
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: no joke. My dad would get home from work right

599
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 1: and he'd go into his room and play drums for

600
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 1: like an hour. Didn't know how to read music. You

601
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 1: just listened to it and get in there and right,

602
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: and then he'd come talk to us. It was like

603
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: getting home and that's the four count. That's the four count.

604
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 1: Your logo's the one two three four. Yeah, that's the

605
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 1: four count. I like that. Yeah, we're like the only

606
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 1: guy that knows it. Though I don't know, I love it.

876
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:50,520

879
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 1: I can't wait to be in front of him again,

880
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 1: to be because I'm about nine. But the money, the

881
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:07,239
Speaker 1: funny part is and I think he noticed it too,

882
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:10,320
Speaker 1: because we went outside. We're like, it is not the goat,

883
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:12,880
Speaker 1: the goats here, and I think he realized that, you

884
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:15,640
Speaker 1: know what I mean to the next step. And come

885
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:18,720
Speaker 1: to find out, these dudes funded all kinds of multiple grows.

886
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 1: They didn't take us along for the ride because we

887
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:22,680
Speaker 1: told him we wouldn't move to Colorado. They like, if

888
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:24,719
Speaker 1: you guys wanted to move to Colorado, will change your lives.

889
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 1: We're like, yeah, right, you know if I could change

890
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:29,239
Speaker 1: my life, and my life is good, you know. But

891
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 1: in my mind, I'm thinking, like, damn, if we would

892
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 1: have probably moved to Colorado, we probably changed our lives

893
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:37,920
Speaker 1: because that was Robert, but but it was it was

894
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:39,799
Speaker 1: too much to think about and too much going on

895
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 1: with all the stuff we were doing. And long story short,

896
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 1: in the morning that we're supposed to meet with the

897
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:45,239
Speaker 1: guy and go have breakfast, where we woke up and

898
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 1: he got called into surgery and he was gone. I've

899
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:50,560
Speaker 1: never seen him again. And then we jumped on a plant.

900
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:52,399
Speaker 1: Well we went and looked at more properties and give

901
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:54,880
Speaker 1: him more evaluations of what we thought and then boom,

902
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 1: we're gone. So long story short is we ended up

903
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:01,799

931
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:23,840
