Speaker 1: Coach, the energy out there felt different. What changed for
Speaker 1: the team today?
Speaker 2: It was the new game day scratches from the California
Speaker 2: Lottery players.
Speaker 3: Everything. Those games sent the team's energy through the roof.
Speaker 1: Are you saying it was the off field play that
Speaker 1: made the difference on the field.
Speaker 3: Hey, little play makes your day, and today it made
Speaker 3: the game.
Speaker 1: That's all for now, coach, one more question play than
Speaker 1: New Los Angeles Chargers, San Francisco forty nine ers and
Speaker 1: Los Angeles ram scratchers from the California Lottery. A little
Speaker 1: play can make your day. Peace made responsibilit must be
Speaker 1: eighteen years or older to purchase plate or claim.
Speaker 4: And once again, can you kind of give us an example.
Speaker 4: I think you spoke by the last time, but just
Speaker 4: to kind of make it real for people, you know,
Speaker 4: in your personal experience of people that you know, what's
Speaker 4: some of the more sizable contracts that you've seen people
Speaker 4: get an example?
Speaker 5: Yeah, So one one was definitely, like I said earlier,
Speaker 5: that fifteen million dollar contract just for security services. Another
Speaker 5: lady that I know, she has a company that does
Speaker 5: logistics and she helped you find the will find lodging
Speaker 5: when you go to locations. So she has a company
Speaker 5: that certified as a DVE firm, and she just won
Speaker 5: a contract at the beginning of COVID to help help
Speaker 5: the government find lodging for people who were misplaced during COVID,
Speaker 5: And that one was like almost fifteen million dollars as well.
Speaker 5: And that's just to help people find and I think
Speaker 5: it was up in New York now that I think
Speaker 5: about it, but to help people find locations in you know,
Speaker 5: different hotels. So all she really did was sourced to
Speaker 5: find the lodging for them. Five million dollar contract just
Speaker 5: two earlier, clean and service police vehicles. Yeah, oh, I
Speaker 5: said dB. So that disadvantage Business Enterprise certification was one
Speaker 5: that she had service and just clean police vehicles.
Speaker 6: Fifteen million dollars, I meant five million dollar contract.
Speaker 4: So and would you suggest that people go for government
Speaker 4: like big government contracts or local contracts to start or both?
Speaker 5: I would say both, but local because you will not
Speaker 5: local because but local, Like it's like you said earlier,
Speaker 5: you can build those relationships, you can get into the space.
Speaker 6: At the federal level. There is a lot less.
Speaker 5: Like red tape in terms of you know, how long
Speaker 5: the process takes and how much well how long the
Speaker 5: process takes in terms of you know, actually bidding and
Speaker 5: going after these contracts. At the local level, it can
Speaker 5: be a longer process, but I definitely say local one.
Speaker 5: You have more say in what goes on locally. As
Speaker 5: a business owner, you can also be like an active participant.
Speaker 5: You spoke a little bit about, you know, politics at
Speaker 5: the local level, right you being a business owner, that's
Speaker 5: something you should definitely be worrying about at the state
Speaker 5: and at the local level.
Speaker 6: That's somewhere that you could you know, use your business
Speaker 6: influence as well.
Speaker 5: And then also ensuring that hey, you know you you
Speaker 5: promise this, we need to go through a disparity study
Speaker 5: or whatever the case may be.
Speaker 6: Make sure that you're using that at the local level.
Speaker 5: As well, so that I would definitely push people to
Speaker 5: start doing more local. We always see federal government contracting
Speaker 5: opportunities and they will always be there, but you want
Speaker 5: to solidify that space at the local level.
Speaker 3: So you gave us one side. I know last time
Speaker 3: we spoke, we were talking about SAM dot GB and
Speaker 3: that was for the federal contracts. Are there other sites
Speaker 3: that we can use to find local contracts or do
Speaker 3: we go federal? And then each state is different, right,
Speaker 3: so he said, we got okay, got you, got you.
Speaker 4: You literally just google your state or you gotta put
Speaker 4: your city in Yeah, okay, Gotcha's like all right, you
Speaker 4: know Yonkers New York contracts, right, something like that, government
Speaker 4: contracts and then.
Speaker 5: Contracts, procurement, purchasing or doing business.
Speaker 4: With because every city has its own website.
Speaker 3: But should create the data base for all of them.
Speaker 4: You're working on that, yes, yes, yes, that's a good idea.
Speaker 3: Right, So that way you have everything at one. All
Speaker 3: I do is type my city and then things will
Speaker 3: come up. Right. We don't have to. We wouldn't have to.
Speaker 3: We can stay save a step by type and Google
Speaker 3: and type in uh the actual city you want to
Speaker 3: go to, and then trying to find a list of sites.
Speaker 3: We have one database where city it comes all the contracts.
Speaker 4: So the first the first step is to identify your
Speaker 4: states or your town's website, go into portal and then
Speaker 4: look to see what contracts is currently out there, what's available,
Speaker 4: Get registered through the portal and then put your bidd
Speaker 4: in right, and then network and then network with the people,
Speaker 4: build the relationships and establish the line of communication and
Speaker 4: start getting money from the government hopefully if if it
Speaker 4: works out for you in that in that channels.
Speaker 6: Right, Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 5: That happens to all of those different agencies you talked
Speaker 5: about the government, but the poored authorities, the airports, all
Speaker 5: of those type into all of those opportunities.
Speaker 4: Okay, so yes you have we have some questions. Now
Speaker 4: we can do you have before we go to questions?
Speaker 4: Do you have anything else you wanted to add to that?
Speaker 6: No, I think that's it. I prefer the question is
Speaker 6: usually because it gives me, you know, where people want
Speaker 6: to go.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so this is this is this is another added
Speaker 4: difference from Eyo University versus the podcast where it's an
Speaker 4: interactive experience where I saw somebody say like this, ps
Speaker 4: like collegists. That's how we try to name That's how
Speaker 4: we named the Eyo University. So do the presentation speak show,
Speaker 4: you know, screen share, stuff like that. But the most value,
Speaker 4: how I learn the best is through asking questions. So
Speaker 4: similar to like how Market Monday's works, we open it
Speaker 4: up and then everybody who has a question has a
Speaker 4: chance to raise their hand the next question. So this
Speaker 4: is what we're going to go to. Now we're gonna
Speaker 4: get some questions answered.
Speaker 3: Let's go to Anthony Adams. Anthony was going on, I'm
Speaker 3: mut yourself, you've been unmuted. What's going on? What up?
Speaker 3: What's going on? Anthony? I see you unmuted, you're unmuted,
Speaker 3: but we can't hear you. Hear you?
Speaker 4: What's going on? Bro yeh damn Anthony. You couldn't couldn't
Speaker 4: get it, couldn't get his volume together.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, when whenever you get it together, man, just
Speaker 3: just type me. Uh is that lately? I came to
Speaker 3: see it once again.
Speaker 4: It's like being in class sometimes when the teacher calls.
Speaker 3: On you got you ready? I have to be ready.
Speaker 4: It's extremely important.
Speaker 3: Life lesson, Khalil, we're coming to you. Mut yourself, you've
Speaker 3: been unmuted. What's going on, Khalil, what's going on?
Speaker 2: I'm good, Thanks for picking on me, but uh, I
Speaker 2: beg everything she went over. I kind of I'm kind
Speaker 2: of passed that part. So I honestly just when it
Speaker 2: like like some personal like sauce like just I've probably
Speaker 2: been registered registered for like a year. I'm just not
Speaker 2: having no luck winning anything now, like so like go ahead, yeah,
Speaker 2: just like personal tips like or like you know, like
Speaker 2: something you do or something you did that betters your chances.
Speaker 2: I've been registered. I've been like, I know, you know
Speaker 2: the basis of everything. I just can't win anything.
Speaker 6: No, got it. And you've been beating on these contracts too,
Speaker 6: or you were just tell me yes.
Speaker 2: I like I said, I'm not the best of it
Speaker 2: at it.
Speaker 3: I got it.
Speaker 2: Uh. I figured it out during the pandemic, like kind
Speaker 2: of on my own through YouTube and Google after I
Speaker 2: seen something about it on Instagram. So it was kind
Speaker 2: of hard for me to like call and build them
Speaker 2: relationships and ext those certain questions because you know, a
Speaker 2: lot of stuff was closed and now everything opened it
Speaker 2: back up. I'm trying to catch up. But it's like
Speaker 2: I said, I'm not the best at bitting or trying
Speaker 2: or pricing it. That's my biggest problem pricing. And like,
Speaker 2: for example, you said the police car contract, I've seen
Speaker 2: one of those from my city and it's like I
Speaker 2: had no idea how to go about it, so I
Speaker 2: missed it.
Speaker 5: Okay, So usually your your issue is pricing. The best
Speaker 5: thing for you to do would be to see what
Speaker 5: the previous contracts were awarded for so you can request
Speaker 5: that information about you know has this contract been awarded previously?
Speaker 5: You can ask them multiple things. Has it been awarded previously?
Speaker 5: Can the previous award e also bid on this contract?
Speaker 5: That's another question you want to ask, But also ask
Speaker 5: them what was the price for that past contract if.
Speaker 6: It's never been awarded before.
Speaker 5: A way that you could also do is go through
Speaker 5: other companies to get quotes, right, ask these companies for
Speaker 5: quotes to figure out how much you know this product
Speaker 5: or services service actually costs, and then you can determine
Speaker 5: what your price or you know what your price will
Speaker 5: be based off of how much you would gain in
Speaker 5: terms of profit and how much it would cost.
Speaker 6: So that's that's like in terms of pricing, that's what
Speaker 6: I would say.
Speaker 2: Okay, I have two more questions that that's not a problem.
Speaker 4: Breaking all the rules.
Speaker 3: Goidelines, goidelines, goidelines, godlines, It's all good, God.
Speaker 2: I said, I got two more short questions questions r FI.
Speaker 2: I know that means a request for information, but what
Speaker 2: are they actually asking for? It's usually just like a
Speaker 2: bunch of stuff that's like no direct request, got it?
Speaker 5: RFIs they really just want to know what businesses are
Speaker 5: available to provide whatever this product and service is that's
Speaker 5: really just their way of checking out the landscape to
Speaker 5: see if someone is actually here. And if we put
Speaker 5: this opportunity out, will some companies actually bid on it?
Speaker 5: So the best thing for you to provide to them
Speaker 5: would be you should have a one pager each capability statement,
Speaker 5: So you want to provide that. You also want to
Speaker 5: provide just a general letter explaining your business and the
Speaker 5: products that you can provide. The products are services that
Speaker 5: you'll be able to provide to them based off of
Speaker 5: their requests.
Speaker 2: So what about subcontracting through RFI? Would I be able
Speaker 2: to give them someone else's information?
Speaker 5: You can, but the thing is, you don't want to
Speaker 5: put it as someone else's information unless uh huh, unless
Speaker 5: this is a thing, unless it's something that you will
Speaker 5: be doing in conjunction with them, or if they're asking
Speaker 5: for a sub contractor. So what you would have to
Speaker 5: do is say, hey, we can provide this product or
Speaker 5: this service, and then when the contract is actually put
Speaker 5: out based off of that RFI, when that contract is
Speaker 5: actually put out, you can add them in there as
Speaker 5: a subcontractor. But initially you just want to let them know, hey,
Speaker 5: I'm available, I can do I.
Speaker 2: Got all right last thing, purchase orders because most things
Speaker 2: are net thirty and most times, even if you do
Speaker 2: have the money, you don't want to spend your own money.
Speaker 2: Is there any ways or strategies to get funding for
Speaker 2: purchase orders until they can like pay out the contract?
Speaker 5: So there are firms who actually provide contracts on government
Speaker 5: and will provide loans on government contracts. As of right now,
Speaker 5: I don't have any direct referrals for you, but the
Speaker 5: best thing I would would to do would be, you know,
Speaker 5: used like the Google mindset in terms of figuring out
Speaker 5: what companies are out there.
Speaker 6: There are only a few of them that I know
Speaker 6: for sure.
Speaker 5: That provide loans on government contracts, But I've never gotten
Speaker 5: a loan on a contract with them, so I'm not
Speaker 5: sure how you know. You can make sure you're ask
Speaker 5: them about their terms, you know, interest rates and things
Speaker 5: like that, but the best thing would be to just
Speaker 5: google around to figure out what businesses provide loans on
Speaker 5: government contracts.
Speaker 3: Well, we appreciate you, my brother, and hopefully you got
Speaker 3: some information. It seems like there was a lot what
Speaker 3: kind of businesses you have real quickly, let me just.
Speaker 7: Personally, I have a cleaning business.
Speaker 2: But it's like always a lot of miscellaneous things that
Speaker 2: you can always be it on too in Philadelphia.
Speaker 4: Yes, how did I know?
Speaker 7: I was about to ask you that too?
Speaker 4: I could tell by the I could tell by the accent.
Speaker 3: Man uh.
Speaker 4: And I can tell why. I can tell why your name.
Speaker 4: Everybody in Philly got an Arabic name, and they and
Speaker 4: they speak the same. Everybody and fully speaks the same.
Speaker 7: You just got to figure it out.
Speaker 3: You got a beard?
Speaker 7: No, no, I can't.
Speaker 3: All right, brother, appreciate appreciate you appreciate it.
Speaker 4: Hold on, wait, I got a question. Capability statement. Can
Speaker 4: you just explain what that is? Can you guys spoke
Speaker 4: about that?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 5: So capability statement is a marketing one pager that talked
Speaker 5: about your business. So you'll outline, you know, what the
Speaker 5: work is that you do. You'll outline usually the codes,
Speaker 5: the next codes and n IGP codes are commodity codes.
Speaker 5: You'll share if your business is certified, what certifications your
Speaker 5: business have, and then also what past performance you have,
Speaker 5: so that'll show the agency exactly who you are, the
Speaker 5: work that you've done, some of the things that set
Speaker 5: your business apart from the others, which you know You
Speaker 5: can also add another section in there, which isn't always certification.
Speaker 5: Sometimes it can be that you do something you know
Speaker 5: different from the status quo and you can add that in.
Speaker 5: Those are the key differentiators. So those are the things
Speaker 5: that you will have on the capability statement. And it's
Speaker 5: a marketing one pager that you know, you send two
Speaker 5: agencies to let them know about the work that you're doing.
Speaker 3: All right, Lou Rivera, we coming to you. I'm mute yourself.
Speaker 3: You've been on muted. What's going on, Lou? What's going on?
Speaker 7: Guys? Thank you very much for choosing me. I have
Speaker 7: one quick question.
Speaker 2: To the young If you were starting a business today
Speaker 2: to try to get into government contracting, what would you
Speaker 2: choose and why?
Speaker 5: For me starting a business, my first one would be
Speaker 5: when I my first one, I'm just gonna go, I
Speaker 5: would start a business selling some commodities. One because I
Speaker 5: do service based contract work now and I would prefer
Speaker 5: to have a business that does commodities, granted that I
Speaker 5: have the capital to be able to, you know, sell
Speaker 5: these products and services to the government. I have actually
Speaker 5: had a commodity company before, or were selling like medical
Speaker 5: supplies and equipment to the government, and it was a
Speaker 5: lot smooth transition than like the service based work that
Speaker 5: I've been doing. So in terms of an industry, I
Speaker 5: would focus more on textiles and like merch any type
Speaker 5: of gear or merch or things that I could get
Speaker 5: to them, I would.
Speaker 6: Do something like that right now. Okay, thank you very much.
Speaker 7: I appreciate you. I appreciate you guys as well.
Speaker 3: I love you. Appreciate you. I appreciate you. A great question.
Speaker 3: That was a good one. I was. I was trying
Speaker 3: to figure out what commodities pharmaceuticals before let's go to Joy.
Speaker 3: Joy Ellington's going on, I meet yourself. You've been unmuted.
Speaker 8: Hello, thanks for calling on me.
Speaker 9: Of course, my family has a non for profit organization
Speaker 9: and we wanted to know how what we fit in
Speaker 9: and what type of department should we look for to
Speaker 9: help things such as youth services and local like things,
Speaker 9: gatherings and things like that. How can we assist in
Speaker 9: that way?
Speaker 10: Got it?
Speaker 6: That's a good question.
Speaker 5: So usually there aren't many well there aren't any contracts
Speaker 5: that come out for nonprofits. But what your family could
Speaker 5: do is partner with the city cities and all of
Speaker 5: the commissioners and mayors, all of those people. They have
Speaker 5: budgets that are allocated it for giving out funds to
Speaker 5: nonprofit organizations. So the best bet would be to start
Speaker 5: reaching out locally to see how you can either partner
Speaker 5: with the city to put on this function. From there
Speaker 5: you can gain some sponsorship dollars and then of course,
Speaker 5: like I said, that sponsorship money from you know, those local.
Speaker 6: Officials as well. So that's two two rounds for nonprofit.
Speaker 8: Okay, thank you.
Speaker 9: Yes, Because we do work with the youth and our
Speaker 9: main thing is to gear them towards finding their purpose.
Speaker 9: It is called vision citing purpose, and I just was
Speaker 9: really trying to pinpoint where the starts.
Speaker 8: So that helps a lot, thank you.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Also look at.
Speaker 5: The school boards. Look at the school boards in the
Speaker 5: school districts. You can do some work in that area.
Speaker 5: And then also other local nonprofits like think about the
Speaker 5: Urban League and things like that, you could partner with
Speaker 5: them Urban League they have money for you to provide
Speaker 5: some services too.
Speaker 3: So yeah, if you go to your state site and
Speaker 3: you can check out the fiscal budget and you can
Speaker 3: break it down by category. It's one of the things
Speaker 3: I was doing with before we were doing ey l
Speaker 3: I was trying to scale our summer program, and I
Speaker 3: was looking at the funding and seeing that there was
Speaker 3: a budget for these type of programs and seeing the
Speaker 3: qualifications that were needed to have the programs. It'd be
Speaker 3: interesting now to see with COVID now that the states
Speaker 3: and a lot of the local municipalities have had budget
Speaker 3: cuts due to the amount of money that they've lost
Speaker 3: during this time. So it'd be interesting to see what
Speaker 3: their budgets look like now. But that's always a good strategy,
Speaker 3: typing your state go to the budget and see where
Speaker 3: the money's being allocated. Right now, Yes, let's go to
Speaker 3: thank you. Who was that? That was Joy? Thank you
Speaker 3: so much, Joy Laval were coming to you. I mute yourself.
Speaker 3: You've been on mute. Hold on, hold on, No, we're
Speaker 3: not puting them to a panelist. Now, all right, let's
Speaker 3: go to Michael. Michael, we come to you. Mute yourself,
Speaker 3: you've been unmuted. Hold on set.
Speaker 7: Hello, Hello, Hello, there you go, Mike.
Speaker 3: What's going on?
Speaker 7: Oh, what's good? What's good? It's been a long time.
Speaker 7: Was I appreciate it.
Speaker 3: I've always always man.
Speaker 11: Just one question, so and I apologize. It was making
Speaker 11: dinner for part of this for the kids. But are
Speaker 11: you using any tools like gov spend or is all
Speaker 11: of this It sounds like a lot of your work
Speaker 11: is just directly through the government websites. Is there any
Speaker 11: other tools that you're using to source the contracts?
Speaker 6: So, yeah, there are a number of tools.
Speaker 5: I don't necessarily use gov spend because that one usually
Speaker 5: just shows like how much the spending data, like historical
Speaker 5: spending data.
Speaker 6: If I'm paying for a.
Speaker 5: Tool, I'm going to pay for a tool that shows
Speaker 5: contracts that are coming out and that are out at
Speaker 5: that very moment. So there are a number of different
Speaker 5: tools that are out. So I think one of them
Speaker 5: for sure that you know my team actually uses is
Speaker 5: big Prime. There's a free tool called procure Now. We
Speaker 5: use them, and our company actually just partnered with them
Speaker 5: to share those opportunity of these as well. So those
Speaker 5: are two that I primarily use.
Speaker 7: And I'm sorry, what was the first one again?
Speaker 6: Bid Prime, bid Prime?
Speaker 7: All right, I do appreciate it, of course.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 3: That's a good question. You know, I'm thinking now, like
Speaker 3: in wholesaling, there's a middle man that brings a contract
Speaker 3: from a buyer to itself. Does that happen in this
Speaker 3: space with government contract and is this is it all?
Speaker 3: It does happen all the time? Ah, so what is
Speaker 3: it's not really hosted? What is it called in this space?
Speaker 6: They call it a middleman method, That's what they call it.
Speaker 7: Okay, it's not a bad way to go if you
Speaker 7: can get somebody to drop ship before you.
Speaker 4: At the thoughts going through my brain and Max Max
Speaker 4: famously said, the middle man makes the most money in America.
Speaker 3: Think about it, Think about it? Is this, coach, kadisia,
Speaker 3: we're coming to you. I mute yourself, coach that you Yes, indeed,
Speaker 3: it's a long time, long time.
Speaker 8: What's going on?
Speaker 3: Coach?
Speaker 6: All is well as well.
Speaker 12: I see y'all every Monday.
Speaker 8: Y'all.
Speaker 3: Just I just haven't heard your voice is so little?
Speaker 3: Everything good, yes.
Speaker 8: Sir, everything is great.
Speaker 10: Everything is great.
Speaker 13: I have.
Speaker 12: First of all, I want to start with gratitude, So
Speaker 12: thank you guys for spending your Wednesday with us and
Speaker 12: sharing some information.
Speaker 8: And then secondly my question.
Speaker 12: I'm in the process of completing my family's plumbing companies
Speaker 12: dB certification for the City of Atlanta and the structure
Speaker 12: of our business we have. My mother and father are
Speaker 12: the owners of the company, but my brother runs the
Speaker 12: daily operation. So when submitting the financial information, is it
Speaker 12: best to submit that information for all three individuals or
Speaker 12: just the owners of the company.
Speaker 5: Yes, they're going to ask and request the information on
Speaker 5: all does your brother have ownership into the company.
Speaker 12: He does not have ownership. It's sixty six thirty three
Speaker 12: my father mother.
Speaker 5: They may not ask for it just because they want
Speaker 5: to know about the owner. So don't worry about the
Speaker 5: brother as of right now. Only submit the information for
Speaker 5: the owners. And then if they come back and ask
Speaker 5: you all you will be able to provide that information.
Speaker 6: But you don't want to give them too much.
Speaker 12: A friend, Okay, all right, thank you. And I had
Speaker 12: a question about a capability statement, but you already answer that.
Speaker 12: And I just want to let you guys know that
Speaker 12: his plumbing.

Speaker 3: Thanks for being patient. Hopefully you got together. I'm mut yourself.
Speaker 3: You've been ummuted, man.
Speaker 14: No, no doubt man, no doubt. First off, I just
Speaker 14: want to say, YO, appreciate y'all. Ever since I stumbled
Speaker 14: across your podcast and just like YO, these dudes.
Speaker 7: Is doing it.
Speaker 3: They I'll just join E y L you my dog Yo.
Speaker 7: They doing it man.
Speaker 14: But uh, my question is I am studying to get
Speaker 14: my dad coming after Godesia. Sorry if I butchered your name,
Speaker 14: but I'm studying to get my electrical license. I'm a
Speaker 14: union electrician in Jersey. So as far as government contracting, like,
Speaker 14: once I do get my electrical license and establish my company,
Speaker 14: is it, is it like ideal to go after these
Speaker 14: kind of contracts or get some work under my belt
Speaker 14: first then try to go out for these kind of contracts.
Speaker 5: So I would say do a combination of both, Right,
Speaker 5: try to try to get some work under your boat
Speaker 5: first in that corporate space, but also look at it
Speaker 5: from the aspect of what prime companies, what bigger contractors
Speaker 5: can I subcontract with to provide his work. So specifically
Speaker 5: for electrical work, I had a contract to work with

Speaker 5: doing that work on the opposite end of it with
Speaker 5: the corporate So do both. That's my recommendation for sure.
Speaker 14: Word appreciate that now. Quick side question, Uh, I know
Speaker 14: majority of Tom's a lot of places like or a
Speaker 14: lot of of anything in general require licensing. Do you
Speaker 14: think I should first get the license or like try
Speaker 14: to bid before I get my license.
Speaker 6: If you don't have.
Speaker 5: A company that's a license that you can partner with,
Speaker 5: get the license first because you won't be able to
Speaker 5: do the work without getting license.
Speaker 6: And then also thinking about.
Speaker 5: It from an electrical standpoint, you'll probably still end up
Speaker 5: having to partner with the company because along with that
Speaker 5: work comes a requirement for bunding and things like that.
Speaker 5: So you can do you know, you can wait, wait
Speaker 5: till you get your license or actually find a company
Speaker 5: that you can partner with to do that work.
Speaker 14: So I appreciate you and appreciate y'all selecting me. Yo,
Speaker 14: y'all keep doing what y'all do, and I definitely appreciate.

Speaker 16: Appreciate Your question is, uh, I'm in the I'm in
Speaker 16: the truck and industry, and I'm registered to do it
Speaker 16: the bid, but I was wondering, do I have to
Speaker 16: have my uh my dot register if I'm not uh
Speaker 16: taking picking up the louds or because I plan on
Speaker 16: having another company of you know, pick up the loads
Speaker 16: or whatever and delivering, so you'll.
Speaker 6: Need that company's dot information.
Speaker 5: Okay, I want to know that somebody can do it,
Speaker 5: so if you've been on it without the information, they'll
Speaker 5: probably end up throwing your proposal out because you don't
Speaker 5: have the authority to do it.
Speaker 16: Okay, okay, cool, Well and do my do I have
Speaker 16: to be registered as a different entity or like, do
Speaker 16: do I have to put that down like I'm not
Speaker 16: or I just need to submit the info?
Speaker 6: And wait, do you have to pitch one down? I'm sorry?
Speaker 16: All right, So so long as I have their dot number,
Speaker 16: like the way that I'm registered now is no uh
Speaker 16: specific way that I needed to have it my business structure.
Speaker 16: So do I have to be as like an agent
Speaker 16: not not an agent?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no.
Speaker 16: A dispatcher, I should say, or a broker or an
Speaker 16: agent or yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah you can.
Speaker 5: You can keep it that way, and just make sure
Speaker 5: you use the dispatcher so you can say that you
Speaker 5: you're a dispatcher and you provide you have you know,
Speaker 5: companies who can provide this service and then for example,
Speaker 5: you can use that company as one of your subcontractors.
Speaker 6: Does that make sense?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 16: I got you, yep, yep. Personally and the advices I
Speaker 16: got to I'm in the trucking and I do uh engrave.
Speaker 16: A matter of fact, I'm the one that did the puzzle.

Speaker 3: I mean, we had the chess board, but to have
Speaker 3: the creative ability to actually create a puzzle out of

Speaker 16: And then and and another thing I was gonna do.
Speaker 16: I was gonna I want to wait it, but I'm

Speaker 17: can generate some CLIENTEAU that way, or should we are
Speaker 17: there also federal contracts that we can go through. I
Speaker 17: know that there's like elections and things like that when
Speaker 17: it comes to event planning.
Speaker 5: Yes, definitely local if you want to get into that
Speaker 5: political space. And you know, so much money is spent
Speaker 5: on elections, right we I think we've seen the number,
Speaker 5: so much money is spent in that space. Starting local
Speaker 5: with the event planning, it works one because you can
Speaker 5: be there, you can physically set up these spaces, and
Speaker 5: you can build a reputation off of you know, your
Speaker 5: work alone in these spaces. When people go to these spaces,
Speaker 5: they'll ask, you know, who hosted the event, who did this?
Speaker 6: Who did that?
Speaker 7: That.
Speaker 5: You want your name to rain bills in spaces like this,
Speaker 5: You want to be that local go to for these products.
Speaker 5: I mean for this event planning service. So I definitely

Speaker 15: Man?
Speaker 18: First, I want to say thank you a shot. I
Speaker 18: went to the Bronx. I don't know if you remember me,
Speaker 18: but uh, I one goal. I told you, hey, I
Speaker 18: got one goal in my mind, and let's to see
Speaker 18: if I could get a for university for scholarship. And
Speaker 18: you gave it to me. I had to hit you

Speaker 4: I appreciate that.

Speaker 4: we definitely, you know, try to make our best to
Speaker 4: accommodate it. So welcome brother. I'm happy that you're here
Speaker 4: and what's your question?
Speaker 18: My question is I'm starting. I'm starting. Well, I'm a musician.
Speaker 18: I like to do music, I do hip hop, and
Speaker 18: I don't have like a business. Really, I have been
Speaker 18: confused and what to really start with. So I thought
Speaker 18: about maybe selling shirts and sweaters just to start there.
Speaker 18: And my question was, how what is the best way
Speaker 18: to start? Because I'm looking at online just websites where
Speaker 18: I can just make a design and put it on
Speaker 18: the shirt and sell it through there.
Speaker 7: Is that the best idea to start?
Speaker 3: That's actually exactly what we did. Like we went we
Speaker 3: found a distributor on Printfull. We did a whole episode
Speaker 3: about it. But yeah, we had a bunch of designs,
Speaker 3: but we just didn't have the capital to put it
Speaker 3: on a merch And so the thing with print for
Speaker 3: was all we had to do was create design, they
Speaker 3: would create create the merch, and they would actually distribute
Speaker 3: it for us. So we saved us a lot of money.
Speaker 3: But we realized as we grew and we scaled, we
Speaker 3: were losing money because we were selling a lot of
Speaker 3: merch but the percentages were so low on our profit.
Speaker 3: But we had to start somewhere, so if you want
Speaker 3: to start somewhere that's low cost, print fills a great
Speaker 3: option and as you scale, then you start looking at all, right, well,
Speaker 3: how can I have more of a profit margin from
Speaker 3: the actual merchan that I'm using. That's exactly what we
Speaker 3: did though, Bro.
Speaker 4: Yeah, check that episode out. If anybody has questions about merch,
Speaker 4: check our merch episode out. We gave our whole blueprint
Speaker 4: on our journey and merch, which is not as easy
Speaker 4: as it seems. It's a lot of moving parts when
Speaker 4: it comes to merch, and we made a lot of
Speaker 4: a lot of mistakes. So we learned from those mistakes
Speaker 4: and we put it in the podcast. You know episode
Speaker 4: that was thing.
Speaker 3: It's like eighty nine. Yeah, you can just check it out.
Speaker 4: But that merch episode is very, very vital to anybody
Speaker 4: that's interested in merch.
Speaker 7: All right, thank you, I appreciate it.
Speaker 3: All right, bro, appreciate you. Let's see what we got here. Stan,
Speaker 3: we're coming to you. I mute yourself. You've been on muted.
Speaker 3: What's going on?
Speaker 7: Hey, guys, that's going everything's great again. I had a
Speaker 7: question for the young lady.
Speaker 13: I heard you, and some contracts need to be burnded
Speaker 13: how does how do you go about getting blinded? Because
Speaker 13: I've dealt with the government contracts previously, and a lot
Speaker 13: of the bigger contracts you needed to be burned.
Speaker 7: So how do we go about doing that?
Speaker 6: Yes, so usually it's two ways.
Speaker 5: One, some of the cities and counties they'll have funds
Speaker 5: associated with them, they'll have bunding capacity that you'll be
Speaker 5: able to go through those different government institutions to do it.
Speaker 5: But then also there are always companies who can help
Speaker 5: you or provide like some bunding capacity. So I do
Speaker 5: have some referrals for some companies that can do that.
Speaker 5: If you message me, I can definitely share that information
Speaker 5: with you. Just go to message me on Instagram at
Speaker 5: WA and I can send you that information for those
Speaker 5: bund those companies that can help you get bunded.
Speaker 7: Okay, well, what's your Instagram all.
