What's So it's been a learning curve, 122 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 9: but it's been good. It's been fun. 123 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,719 Speaker 1: So and how did you land on that? Did you 124 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: have a broker? Did you get a tip.

I did not use a byside broker. 129 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 9: I was just a self searcher. Used an SBA loan 130 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 9: to buy it. I had a banking background, so that 131 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 9: was relatively easy to do. But yeah, there's a website 132 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 9: called bis buy sell. There's tons of businesses for sale 133 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 9: on there. And just started searching one day. Read a 134 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 9: couple of books on entrepreneurship to acquisition, which is kind 135 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 9: of the the buzzy term that's out there now. There's 136 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,599 Speaker 9: a lot of private equity people trying to do it 137 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 9: and former private equity people, and they teach it in 138 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 9: NBA schools. But I had no I did. I knew 139 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 9: nothing about it, and I read a couple of books 140 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 9: and found it online and it's been it's been great. 141 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,319 Speaker 9: I still have a good relationship with the with the seller. 142 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,959 Speaker 9: He still helps me out. I've got good employees and 143 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,199 Speaker 9: it's I mean, it's not all peaches and sunshine. 144 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: Go back for saying, Greg, you said you had a 145 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: banking background. Were you a bank officer at a which bank? 146 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 9: I was a commercial banker. First I was Fross Bank, 147 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,839 Speaker 9: and then I was an Amergy bank, and then I 148 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 9: took I took a sabbatical from banking, was in consulting, 149 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 9: and then I most recently was at Hancock Whitney here 150 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 9: in Houston. 151 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 1: So I have come to have come to the conclusion 152 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: for guys that end up kind of doing what you're 153 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: doing and becoming successful. I always ask people's background who 154 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 1: become successful in an independent business, and it is surprising 155 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: to me how often they started as in banking. Are 156 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: they started at one of the accounting firms or at 157 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,079 Speaker 1: one of the financial firms. 158 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 8: The old. 159 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: Uh not ELI? What was the firm Cooper's in librand 160 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 1: or Anderson Consulting or one of those. And I think 161 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: that the training and education you get if you have 162 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: an entrepreneurial spirit, which most people in those really don't, 163 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,079 Speaker 1: but it gives you such a good basis to look 164 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: at a company and see whether that company can be 165 00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 1: profitable or not. I think it's a great training. I mean, 166 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: going to law school was a great training ground for me. 167 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to practice law my whole life, but 168 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,679 Speaker 1: it was a great training ground for me. So let 169 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: me ask you this. So you bought that business in 170 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: what year allowed hydromulch. 171 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 9: I bought it. I bought it in May of twenty 172 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 9: twenty four, so almost a year ago. 173 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: And that guy wanted out, presumably. 174 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 11: He did. 175 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 9: He was in his late seventies, I'm sorry, early seventies, 176 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,679 Speaker 9: he had. He founded the business in nineteen ninety. Him 177 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 9: and his wife ran it. It was a good, you know, 178 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 9: kind of like I said, sleepy lifestyle business for them. 179 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 9: You know, they didn't really have any bet on the company. 180 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,679 Speaker 9: They just kind of had grown it to about a 181 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 9: million dollars a year in revenue and never really felt 182 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:42,679 Speaker 9: like they needed to grow up more than that. And 183 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 9: they just were looking for an exit and it had 184 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 9: been for sale for a while and there was you know, 185 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 9: there's hair on it. There's hair on every deal, as 186 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 9: we like to say. And yeah, I just I was 187 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 9: the right fit at the right time, and we structured 188 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,319 Speaker 9: it kind of uniquely with an SBA loan and some 189 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,839 Speaker 9: seller note and and yeah, I've been off to the races, 190 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 9: kept all the employees thankfully, they've all phenomenal. My guys 191 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 9: have been And yeah, so it's been a year. It'll 192 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 9: be a year next month. 193 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,959 Speaker 1: I noticed that one of the services you'll provide is 194 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 1: wildflower seeding, and then I'm looking at the walls. Yeah, 195 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 1: y'all do blue bonnets. 196 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 9: Oh, we do. I like to say with blue bonnets. 197 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 9: Everybody loves blue bonnets. The problem is is they're highly 198 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 9: expensive and they only bloom for three four weeks out 199 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 9: of the year. So there are a lot of other 200 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 9: really really good In fact, we're doing a job up 201 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 9: in Magnolia on Monday. We're going to plant some wild 202 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 9: flowers that'll bloom through the fall and then hopefully next 203 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 9: year get a really good stand. It's a little late 204 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 9: in the year to be doing wildflowers right now, but 205 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 9: we can certainly still do them. 206 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: So so I've tried to plant wildflowers before, particularly blue bonnets, 207 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 1: and the whole scoring the seed and all that. I 208 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: think that's probably where I fell down. But I've had 209 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 1: people tell me how difficult getting wildflowers to take, particularly 210 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 1: blue bonnets to take, can be. Now once they do, 211 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: you're you're you're good to go. I was just curious 212 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 1: if what your experience was in your short time there. 213 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 9: We do so a way to do it is we 214 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 9: do drill seeding and granted I'm not doing like little 215 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 9: tiny areas we're doing. I mean usually minimum of maker 216 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 9: it's ten. 217 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. 218 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 9: So we do a process called drill seeding where you 219 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 9: you tech took a tractor and you have a thing 220 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 9: called drill seeder that pulls behind the tractor and it 221 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 9: punches holes in the ground and it drops seeds into 222 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 9: the holes and then it kind of covers back up, 223 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 9: and it's really getting that good seed to soil contact. 224 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 9: A lot of people will just kind of throw throw 225 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 9: seeds out there and just hope for the best. It's 226 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 9: a good way to wash away or have birds. Yeah. 227 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 9: So anyways, that's how we do it. 228 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: What a great story, Greg, I'm so happy for you. 229 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 1: That's that's just fantastic. I'm guessing you're the one who 230 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 1: updated the website because it's like a new website ratio. 231 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: It's called Allied Hydro Molt dot com. 232 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 7: Records. 233 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: Now right, Sara, I've heard you say on your show before, 234 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: don't give your number to the Republican Party or some 235 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: variation of that statement, as you'll never have them stop 236 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 1: calling you. Could you speak to your audience give us 237 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 1: a tutorial on how to give to the candidate of 238 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 1: your choice, in this case Ken Paxton, without identifying yourself. 239 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 1: They want your phone occupation address. You cannot give online 240 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: without giving that info. Do you have a stealth method? 241 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 1: Sign one who is plagued with texts from when read? 242 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: Let me tell you. Those bastards, Republican consultants who are 243 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: trading your information, they sell it. They first acquire it, 244 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: then they sell it, then they sell it again, then 245 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: they may for another You are nothing but a data 246 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 1: point product to them. They don't care that they annoy you. 247 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 1: They are paid on. They are no different than a 248 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 1: Nigerian or Indian call center. They are awful. And my 249 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 1: answer to that is don't give period, end of story. 250 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:24,119 Speaker 1: Don't give. Eventually they'll figure out. Oh, I guess the 251 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 1: net was a loss to us because they're counting on you. 252 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: No matter how angry you are continuing to give because well, 253 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 1: you love Donald Trump, don't yeh? You love Ted Cris 254 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,640 Speaker 1: don't ye? You want to meet John Cornan don't ye Nope, 255 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:48,159 Speaker 1: not a penny if you give mail it never. I 256 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 1: see people in the store in front of me and 257 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 1: it blows my mind. They're they're buying something from CBS 258 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 1: or the grocery store and the lady says you phone number, Na, 259 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 1: you're they're buying a jacket number. Why are you giving 260 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,880 Speaker 1: And so when I say this, people go, well, everybody's 261 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 1: got it already. That's not true. Why don't you go 262 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,880 Speaker 1: ahead and give you security number, your driver's license number, 263 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,640 Speaker 1: your phone, just put it on a card and hand 264 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 1: it to everybody in the world because everybody has it already. 265 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 1: That's not true. And part of the reason they do 266 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,360 Speaker 1: is because idiots don't have the strength of character to say, 267 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 1: you don't need my number. Oh, we have to put 268 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 1: it in.

But see, 272 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,479 Speaker 1: they get a little commission for every one of those 273 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 1: they put in, just like the warranty at the electronics store, 274 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,679 Speaker 1: all of those things that people are throwing in if 275 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 1: they can get your email address. Some of these companies 276 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: aren't profitable save for the fact that they are data 277 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 1: collection companies and you're giving it to them. Don't give 278 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: them your number. If you give them a number, give 279 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 1: him a fake number, or better yet, find a Democrat 280 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: you don't like and give them that number. Never give 281 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:13,160 Speaker 1: these people your number.

There are elected officials in 284 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 1: this community who will tell you how awful I can be. 285 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 1: I've given out phone numbers on air and ask people 286 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: to insult them. In fact, my buddy jose Lovechik, he's 287 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 1: a lawyer in town, and he gave my number to 288 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:35,920 Speaker 1: somebody I can't remember who it was years ago, and 289 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 1: it was not even ill meaning, but it made me 290 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 1: so mad. So I went on the air and gave 291 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,400 Speaker 1: his number for about ten times, and I finally realized, Okay, 292 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: that's enough.

Some weasel that works for 297 00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 1: that candidate is going to bundle that up. These third 298 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 1: party companies come in consultants, they're going to sell that 299 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: to the next camp. They're going to hold onto it 300 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:07,879 Speaker 1: for their own campaigns, but they're going to sell it 301 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 1: to the next campaign. Do not give them your information. Ever, 302 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,199 Speaker 1: you're not helping to save the republic, you are inviting 303 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 1: problems upon yourself. Period. End of story.
