So when you finally 0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:51.760 come together, right, trying to hear. 0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:55.520 That it's all timing, but nah, but so yeah, so 0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:57.720 we definitely you know, was able to go there. So 0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:00.920 it's a few valuable points in there. They do a 0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:05.320 great job at creating fomo around us. It's a whole 0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:09.480 procedure of actually getting in and transportation and the secrecy 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:11.760 part of it, and that all adds to the marketing. 0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:11.960 Right. 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:16.040 It's a great marketing play and it's created an event 0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:19.320 where people are really eager to go. 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:19.839 Yes. 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:23.240 Right, And that's so when you're doing your events, try to. 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:25.840 Have some level of scarcity, try to have some level 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:31.040 of exclusivity, some secrets to it that you know the 0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:33.640 public don't know, and then release content. These are all 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:37.120 things that you can learn if you're doing events to 0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:40.200 something that we've learned, so they they do a great 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:45.160 job of that. And b when we get to the brunch, 0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:48.119 you know, it's one of these things where it's great networking. 0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:51.080 You know, all of the people that you would assume 0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:54.200 to be there were there. And this goes back to 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:59.560 us doing groundwork and establishing great relationships because it's like 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:03.720 you never know who's watching you and you never know 0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:06.400 like who's going to be aware after something happened. So 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:08.760 a few stories that I'll tell is like Gigs shout 0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:10.720 out to Gigs. If you know who Gigs is, he's 0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:14.320 probably the biggest rap artist that has ever come out 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:18.440 of the UK. So when we went to roll Albert Hall, 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:22.280 we were actually trying to get Gigs to perform and 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:26.600 it was we was working on it for months but 0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:28.400 it just didn't happen. We actually ran into him in 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:32.320 person the day before, but it just wasn't able to happen. 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:35.280 But when I came out with the with the flag 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:37.720 and I was playing his song talking to artists. 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:44.920 Were not both we both came out teamwork but yeah, 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:45.840 we both came out. 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:51.360 But uh so he's waving the flags and it. 0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:54.200 Got back to him, so we've seen him this time. 0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:56.520 It was completely He was like, yo, I've seen it, 0:03:57.240 --> 0:04:00.360 seeing what y'all did things like y'all repost today. 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:03.440 He was like, nah, y'all did some mad things out. 0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:05.480 There, like how you I like how you protected him. 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:08.480 Just now shot to get out to you for that. 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:09.760 So it's not the gig. 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:11.600 So yeah, he like, I like what y'all did that. 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:13.800 We talked to his manager, his managers like, yo, y'all 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:17.120 turned London up, like London up. So now it's so 0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:21.800 now I'm saying that to say we created such value adding. 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:24.839 One quote that I have to say because it was 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:28.159 it hit me like whoa.

It gets to the people that you want, 0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:48.080 you're trying to connect with. So then when you actually 0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:51.080 connect with them, now it's like, Okay. 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:54.920 That's mutually beneficial. That's a that's a bossible.

It's really key. Well, it's important, 0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:12.320 it's vialently important. 0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:14.280 I come from a sales background, so it's like as 0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:17.760 a financial advisor, so when this is a business lesson 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:21.320 for anybody that's in business, right, So referrals is the 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:25.360 number one key to business, especially in sales. 0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:26.480 You have to get referrals. 0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:29.800 So my process is when I was a financial advisor, 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:32.440 I used to push hard for referrals. I used to 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:35.160 make people give me at least three referrals. I used 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:37.120 to push them like I have a pen, paper I have, 0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:40.280 like can you write it down? Like but sometimes people 0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:41.559 will say, like let me get back to you know, 0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:43.880 you gotta do it now. You're not going to get 0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:46.840 back to the number. But just getting the referrals not 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:50.160 good enough. In two days, I would call them and 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:53.680 say can you call this person and tell them I'm 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:57.200 going to call like you know what I'm saying, need 0:10:57.240 --> 0:10:59.280 to have that.
