I think you said you lost many homes? No, No, 54 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 3: And you actually had a camera with you and you 55 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 3: were showing bits and pieces of what was left. And 56 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 3: how heartbreaking was that for you? And heartbreaking for other 57 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 3: people that you know out there that lost their homes. 58 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 4: It was a killer because I love the community I 59 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 4: was in. I never knew, being in New York that 60 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 4: your neighbors mean a lot, because in New York you're 61 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 4: not really friendly with your neighbors. Out there, I knew 62 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 4: every single person around me. They invited me into play checkers, 63 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 4: have a glass of wine, let's play bingo. I mean, 64 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 4: they were so authentic and they lost everything. Everything they 65 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 4: had was in their little trailer home. For me, it 66 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 4: was a piet of terror and it was heartbreaking. But 67 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 4: I just kept telling myself, look what everybody else has lost. 68 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:56,679 Speaker 4: I mean I couldn't. I didn't feel I had the 69 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 4: right to complain. But have I lost a lover something 70 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 4: I love so much? I sure did.

Is the only place 72 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,839 Speaker 4: that had no TV or no radio that I could 73 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 4: find peace every day of the week. But I really 74 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,359 Speaker 4: dearly miss it. But I don't think they'll be building 75 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 4: it again. 76 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 5: No, no, but your husband really wasn't allowed never. 77 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 4: I told him on David, this is a girl's house. 78 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 4: You can never come out. 79 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 3: Well, and that's okay if you have your own it's 80 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 3: like you're having your own treehouse, you know, in the backyard. 81 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 3: You got it. 82 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 4: And he's used to rejection, he said, okay, he knew 83 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 4: he didn't have a chance. 84 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 3: I like that all you did, you did well, I 85 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 3: don't know.

He's such a good guy, 93 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 4: but I'm never looking for that bedroom. 94 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 3: Really, Oh my. 95 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 2: God, does he have a man cave that you're not 96 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 2: allowed to come into? 97 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 4: Yeah? His bedroom? Okay, no, I'm allowed in, but I 98 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 4: never invite myself. He invites, you know, I say a 99 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 4: little bit later, honey. 100 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 3: And sep He's like, he's a great guy though, and 101 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 3: I know you love him very much. 102 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 4: And every day I crawl in his bed at night 103 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 4: and I give him a kiss good night. I have 104 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 4: to crawl up because he's got safety bars on the 105 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 4: side of his bed because he has Parkinson's disease that 106 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 4: I'm afraid he'll full out of the bed. So I 107 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 4: crawl up, and each crawl gets so much harder every day. 108 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 3: That's love. That is love. Hey, So there's so much 109 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 3: going on. 110 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 6: And I. 111 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 3: Know that people who know you, Barbara Corkoran, they know 112 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 3: that you are plugged into all things finance and all 113 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 3: things investment, this and that, entrepreneurial lives and things and that. 114 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 3: But with what's going on right now with the economy, 115 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,599 Speaker 3: and it's affecting everyone in different ways, yes, at all 116 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 3: levels of income, and say, people who have savings, people 117 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,039 Speaker 3: who don't, whatever, what is your number one go to? 118 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 3: And so it asks you to how to weather this storm. 119 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 4: I think it's more attitude than his factuality because facts, 120 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 4: because if you look at the facts, there's nothing to 121 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 4: be optimistic about. Honestly, everyone's struggling. The more lower class 122 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 4: you are, the more you pick up the burden of inflation, 123 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 4: of not being able to find a home for yourself 124 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 4: at an affordable rate. Everything really sits on your chest 125 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 4: more than they have a person. But even if you're 126 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 4: a rich person, people are afraid to invest because the 127 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 4: stock markets full and ten percent in two days. So 128 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 4: everybody's feeling the pain. But who's feeling the pain the most, 129 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 4: I can tell you are the entrepreneurs themselves. The little 130 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 4: businessmen that are working by themselves have a staff of 131 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 4: three people. They're firing people. They don't know how to 132 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 4: order their goods differently, they can't call the SBA, they 133 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 4: don't answer their phone. They've reduced their people by forty 134 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 4: six percent. I think as of saying and cutting off 135 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 4: more people, there's no way to turn. They are so 136 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 4: alone and they're so panicked and needy. And these are 137 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 4: really great people who have their heart in the right place. 138 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 4: They employ half of Americans are employed by small businesses. 139 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 4: Everybody gives the credit to the big businesses, but they 140 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 4: pick up the phone and negotiate their rates with their suppliers. 141 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 4: In China, little guys don't have the option to do that, 142 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 4: so they're left alone and they're struggling so hard. And 143 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 4: they just came through COVID and made it through and 144 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 4: now they get hit by a cyclo. Wow, where do 145 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 4: we turn? Actually, I'm bringing all my entrepreneurs into New 146 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 4: York next week, the middle of next week, and we're 147 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 4: brainstorming like crazy. Because more than coming up with actual 148 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,479 Speaker 4: solutions to their problems, which you'll all share and they'll 149 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 4: get them, what I want them to do is share 150 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 4: the support for each other. 151 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 3: You know, there's a trickle down issue going on to 152 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 3: You're talking about entrepreneurs who are already struggling to get 153 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 3: their businesses still get their businesses off the ground this 154 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:24,919 Speaker 3: and they are letting people go. Keep in mind, the 155 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 3: people they're letting go are people who are struggling with 156 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 3: the day to day problems of trying to find money 157 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,840 Speaker 3: to put food on the table. So it is affecting everyone. 158 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 3: And but I hear from others saying, Okay, no, this 159 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 3: is temporary, It's going to be great before you know it. 160 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 3: Just just buck up, sister. I'm like, well, it's not 161 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 3: easy for everyone to buck up time. 162 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 4: I'm the most optimistic person I know, bar none. But 163 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 4: I don't think you can buck this up. I think 164 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 4: you got to look us straight in the face. You 165 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 4: got to deal with the best you can, and I 166 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 4: think it's a hard time, hard time for everybody, and 167 00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 4: coupled over the actual changes that are affecting everybody, attitude 168 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 4: is so bad. 169 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,119 Speaker 3: Talk talk about how we need to turn that around, 170 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:05,720 Speaker 3: and what looks like, Well, I don't know how to. 171 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 4: Turn it around. I'm making my attempt to turn around 172 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 4: by being bringing people together who are having the similar 173 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 4: problems talking about it. What can we do feeling like 174 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 4: they have some control and they're proactive and can make 175 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 4: a difference to their ownselves, their business, their lives. So 176 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 4: that's my little piece of what I That's the only 177 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 4: thing I thought of. But if you're by yourself, you're 178 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 4: paying more for your goods, you can't find housing, whatever 179 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 4: typical day that that people go through, how do you 180 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 4: stay optimistic? Think? I think you just should know that 181 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 4: in the end it passes. I mean, I said, is 182 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 4: it sounds like some of my mother would tell me, 183 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 4: which is terrible, But in the end it passes. But 184 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 4: how do you keep your attitude? What I do is 185 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,119 Speaker 4: I don't read the paper unless I'm preparing for something 186 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 4: like this that I read, I get up to date. 187 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 4: I don't let that kind of attitude affect me. I 188 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 4: keep in my little place of happiness and come out 189 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 4: when I have to. 190 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 5: Do you think we should be looking at our like 191 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 5: four oh one k's and stuff, because you know a 192 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 5: lot of people this week are like to my four 193 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 5: oh one k, oh, my gosh, or don't even bother right. 194 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 4: Don't even look at it. Even worse than that, a 195 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 4: lot of people are having a knee jerk reaction and 196 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 4: taking from their four o one k. And if you're 197 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 4: fifty nine or older that you won't get a penalty 198 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 4: anything out of fifty nine. You get ten percent penalty 199 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 4: to begin with. But why take out a four one 200 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 4: k when it's diminished by ten percent in the stock market? 201 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 4: It doesn't make sense. Why not wait that out? I 202 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 4: mean that's a matter of holding still. 203 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, holding still, and don't just don't look at it. 204 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 3: Don't looking at it's not tear it up anything, tear 205 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 3: it up. 206 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 4: Put blinders on. 207 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 2: So let's say you have saved some money and this 208 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 2: was your moment you know it's going to be this year. 209 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 2: You've got let's say ten thousand, fifteen thousand dollars and 210 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,559 Speaker 2: you want to do something with it. What do you 211 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 2: even recommend doing with something right now. 212 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 4: Well, you could put in a four to one k 213 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 4: it's probably a good thing and lock it up so 214 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 4: that you can't be tempted to use it. Or it's 215 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 4: certainly not enough for any down payment on the house. 216 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 4: Maybe you could buy a two family house with a 217 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 4: partner and get two units in it and have them 218 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 4: pay off the mortgage. I mean, there are things you 219 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 4: could do, but it's for the brave of heart. People 220 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 4: want to take a risk, But I think right people 221 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 4: are risk aversive. They're waiting and seeing and with so 222 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 4: much coming out of Washington and so wacky, they don't 223 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,719 Speaker 4: know what's coming next. They feel like they're living in 224 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 4: a funny farm, and I think they are. 225 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 3: We are not very funny right now. I'm going to 226 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,839 Speaker 3: tell you, though, keeping this in mind, if you will 227 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 3: look at everything from a broad perspective. Uh, the overarching 228 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 3: theme I'm thinking of, if this is affecting everyone, from 229 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 3: the wealthy to the struggling. Everyone's going to be down. 230 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 3: Everyone is down everyone, and it's gonna it may get 231 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:34,959 Speaker 3: a little worse. And so to be aware of that 232 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 3: and to try to lift people up as best as 233 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 3: you can through the things you say to them, the 234 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,959 Speaker 3: way you treat them. It's needed now more than ever everyone. 235 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 4: But it's not enough optimism, it's not enough reaction. 236 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 3: You know who's here? Do you know? You know Andrew? Andrew? Andrew. 237 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 4: We'll get you over to look like a chipmunk exactly. 238 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 4: Who doesn't like a chipmunk? 239 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 3: I don't know you. I'll take it chip monks, and 240 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 3: I will, I will. We know this about Andrew. Chipmunks 241 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 3: are rodents as well, all right now, So entrepreneurial Andrew 242 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 3: the chipmunk is what we call. He started a business 243 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 3: and did his best to like scrape and and beg 244 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,719 Speaker 3: and plead and whatever to start this business. And tell 245 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 3: tell her what he's not pitching you. He's gonna talk 246 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 3: about something else. 247 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 6: This is Ince twenty twenty three. Me and two of 248 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 6: my friends. We started a business. It's called brew Pants. 249 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 6: We sell on Amazon. It's a baby bottle plus a koozie. 250 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 6: So look, it's like you're drinking Duncan. The baby looks 251 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 6: like it's drinking like Dunkin Donuts. See like little muchkin. 252 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 3: It's cute. 253 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 6: But the problem is that now with the tariffs, we 254 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 6: don't know what we're going to do because we get 255 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 6: all over our inventory from China. So we're kind of 256 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 6: just in a position right now where we're waiting to 257 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 6: see what to do next. 258 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 3: Do you have any advice? 259 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 4: I would have to ask you two things. What do 260 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 4: you pay for this little cup holder? 261 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 6: So we pay probably like two bucks dollar fifty yeah, 262 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 6: way less, like maybe fifty cents at most. 263 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 4: So, and what do you charge for the cup when 264 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 4: you sell it to as a consumer? 265 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 6: We sell it for twenty bucks, wow, fat cats. But 266 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 6: by the time we get it, we sell on Amazon, 267 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 6: so we have to give them their portion all the 268 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 6: sales and everything. The hustle culture online makes it seem 269 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 6: like drop shipping all this stuff it's quick money. It's 270 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 6: really not, because you have to take so much and 271 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 6: reinvest it in. So we're selling it for twenty bucks, 272 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 6: but we're only seeing maybe like ten dollars of profit 273 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 6: out of that sale. 274 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 4: But can I tell you that's still a wide margin? 275 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 3: You should wear up. 276 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:52,559 Speaker 4: But you know what, the main question is how many 277 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,679 Speaker 4: are you selling? How much do people want it? 278 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 3: I mean, they did go viral on TikTok, which is 279 00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 3: really cool. 280 00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 4: That lasts about a week or two exactly. 281 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 6: So we're kind of back to square one again where 282 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 6: we have to come up with new designs and keep 283 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 6: on top of the market. But it's really hard to 284 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 6: know if we should be buying more product with everything 285 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 6: that's kind of going on. Last year, we did three 286 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 6: hundred thousand worth of profit. 287 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 4: Okay, not enough to really make a living at If 288 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 4: you did this exactly year, it's going to be a 289 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 4: tougher year. You could afford the margins is no problem, 290 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,840 Speaker 4: but I would really question how could I sell more products? 291 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:24,679 Speaker 4: Three hundred thousand? We'll never make go of it. 292 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:30,079 Speaker 3: Yeah, it also suppliers. He needs to shift a supplier strategy. 293 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 3: So I mean, China's not it. 294 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 4: So no, Vinom's not it, Cabody is not it. You 295 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 4: have to look to America to'll cuss you twice as much. 296 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 3: Exactly. I've tried to do that and can afford it. 297 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 4: You can afford it. And what happened when you. 298 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 6: Looked they were going to do a dollar fifty for 299 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 6: just one sided with no color printing. 300 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 4: Oh, they're going to take advantage. But it sounds like 301 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 4: you only talk to one. You have to chalk to six. 302 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 3: Six Okay, six is the minimum? Got it? 303 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 4: Good luck? I bet you don't find any You're not 304 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 4: going to do it anything with. 305 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 3: You're calling a failing ship monk. 306 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,680 Speaker 4: You know it's a good product, obviously, it's well made. 307 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 4: How old to here in my hand? It's phenomenal, well 308 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 4: not phenomenal, but it's good. 309 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:13,199 Speaker 6: But it's crazy. 310 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 4: But the question is always how many people want it? 311 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,199 Speaker 4: You always have to be real serious about that question. 312 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 4: How many people will buy it? What will they pay? 313 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 4: That's it's all businesses that way. Yeah, then worry about 314 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 4: your overhead, you cast blah blah blah blah. How many 315 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 4: people will buy it? It's got to be sold to 316 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 4: a lot of people to make a business a business. 317 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 4: Other than that, it's a hobby. Something wrong with a 318 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 4: hobby if you take join it, but you don't make 319 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:34,959 Speaker 4: a ton of money. 320 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 3: Exactly. 321 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 6: We wanted to go to the next level and where 322 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 6: we thought about maybe going off Amazon selling independently. 323 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 4: Try it. Nothing nothing solst by doing both at once. 324 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 4: That's true, there you go, but Amazon exposes it for 325 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 4: swamp business. It's hard to do it without them. 326 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 3: Very true, Andrew the shipmunk. 327 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 6: Everyone to go find it on Amazon. 328 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 3: High question. 329 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 5: Yes, so when you're on the shark tank, right, there 330 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 5: were a couple of times you weren't there for, like 331 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 5: some big ones, like you weren't there for scrub Daddy Poppy, 332 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 5: Like do you feel like if you were there, you 333 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 5: would have made you know, made a bit. 334 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 4: On these things?

He gave me some scrap guys. 341 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 4: Scrub Daddy still hustler, Oh recent that product is sell 342 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 4: them because of him, as it always is the entrepreneur 343 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 4: every time. 344 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 3: Hey, So for those who are trying to think out 345 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 3: of the box unquote, with what's going on with the 346 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 3: economy right now and where it's going, what opportunities are 347 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 3: there right now? Is it best just to lock down? 348 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 3: If we lock down everything, the economy is really going 349 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 3: to suffer. But if people are ready to take some chances, 350 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 3: if they have a few dollars that you want to 351 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 3: spend and they're saving right now, just to see if 352 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 3: it'll do something. What are those opportunities? 353 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 4: You know, when you look back at COVID. We went 354 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 4: into COVID thinking everything was trouble. What really happened in 355 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 4: COVID people came out as new companies, winners. Doing business 356 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 4: is a different way. Every time there's a dramatic challenge 357 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 4: in a marketplace, there's a dramatic equally strong opportunity. What 358 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 4: they are right now, I don't know. But if you 359 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 4: had a passion for something, you've been stolen about it, 360 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 4: now you can reinvent. Really, people are open to anything. 361 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 4: You're gonna lose most of your competition. Many companies are 362 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 4: going to go under, and that happened in COVID, which 363 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 4: is good for the companies that came up. You know. 364 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 4: So I couldn't say to someone what's your specific opportunity, 365 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 4: But if it's an inkling in your mind that you 366 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 4: think of something like my little chipmunk friend over there, Andrews. 367 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 4: But no matter what happens with Andrew's business, you ask 368 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 4: him a year from now, what do you think angel 369 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 4: He'll never regret having that business. Now's the time to 370 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 4: try it, to try something and see what happens. And 371 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 4: it is that kind of environment. The world is open 372 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 4: to newcomers. It always is when it's trouble times open 373 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 4: to newcomers. You have no excuse to say, wait, I'll 374 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 4: wait a year or so. What's going to you know? 375 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 4: Just get it out there. 376 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 2: So, with what you know about everything that's going on 377 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 2: right now, do you see an end date to this? 378 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 2: Do you have any idea how long people are going 379 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 2: to be struggling? 380 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 3: Have no idea? 381 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know. If the politicians don't have 382 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 4: an idea, unless stock market traders don't have not gear, 383 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 4: who the heck knows. I'll get a pit and tail 384 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 4: on the donkey and throw a. 385 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 3: Dart and tell you all right, so it'll be over 386 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 3: when it's over. 387 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, So what it's your attitude in carrying your chest 388 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 4: in your heart the whole time between now and then. 389 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 4: That's that's the important part that getting. 390 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 3: There you are from, of course, the foundation of real estate, 391 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 3: that's where you start game. So what what does this 392 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 3: mean for people who are looking for that first house 393 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 3: right now, or any property not Maybe maybe selling a 394 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 3: property is now the time just to put a lock 395 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 3: on all of the above. Don't buy, don't sell. Let's 396 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 3: wait this thing out. 397 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 4: Well, buying and selling our opposite opponents in the marketplaces. 398 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 4: You know, most of the people two thirds of Americans 399 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 4: are sitting on four percent interest rates, So is now 400 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 4: a time to sell? And what is it six to 401 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 4: seven percent interest rates? 402 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: No? 403 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 4: Because who wants to give up the four percent interest 404 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 4: rate and sign them for a seven percent interest rate? 405 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 4: And that's the problem in the market. That's not enough 406 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,399 Speaker 4: houses because sellers don't want to sell. Who's to blame, really, 407 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:14,880 Speaker 4: But it's a good time for buyers. With the shortage 408 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 4: of listening, it's not good for them either. It's not 409 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,919 Speaker 4: enough houses to go around. But right now, everybody's scared. 410 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 4: And what my gut always tells me in a real 411 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,399 Speaker 4: estate market is when people get scared because of the 412 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 4: general economy, they stall. They don't put in the new kitchen, 413 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 4: they don't buy the new house, they don't buy the 414 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 4: new car. They just waited it out. That's an opportunity 415 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 4: to have less competition. You could go in and put 416 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 4: a lower offer because the person hasn't heard he offer 417 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 4: in six weeks. You go into the spring break when 418 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 4: everybody's away and have no competition. That's the really best, 419 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 4: best week of the year to shop. Nobody's out there 420 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 4: because they're too busy vacationing with the kids of minding 421 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 4: the kids. 422 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 3: So a good time to buy, not to sell. 423 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, good time to thank you for saying it. Why 424 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 4: don't you say that up front? 425 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 3: I couldn't say. I want to know what you were 426 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,640 Speaker 3: going to say. Well, you just said it better. Here's 427 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,199 Speaker 3: nothing about Barbara. She doesn't care, and I'll tell you 428 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 3: I do care. I can't deeply about you. She cares 429 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 3: about the important things. But she walked in and it's 430 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 3: aw scary. And before she even said hi to her 431 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 3: to scary him, she punched him in his big belly. 432 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 4: I said, hold that in. I did your favorite. You 433 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 4: look so much better when you're holding your belly. 434 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 3: Like the Pillsbury Dome. Boys have to say, what's up? 435 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 3: That's you said? I never said it. I don't say that, 436 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 3: you know the piburg. 437 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 4: I've been wanting to poke somebody in a belly like 438 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 4: yours for a long time. 439 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 3: There, you got I. 440 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:34,639 Speaker 1: I know this. 441 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 3: I know that in about an hour or an hour 442 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 3: from now, you're going to be on the Jenniferdson Show today. 443 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 4: Yes I am. 444 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:43,159 Speaker 3: She's lovely. 445 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 4: She's really a nice interview.

I taped it about him month ago. 450 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:55,439 Speaker 2: Did you dance down the hallway? 451 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 6: Yes? 452 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,919 Speaker 4: Oh, thank you for reminding me. Dancing down the hallway 453 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 4: is the most fun part. But I can't dance, so 454 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 4: I looked really clumsy, and I felt it. I knew 455 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 4: how I looked stupid. They were pitying me. I took 456 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 4: off my shoes. Well I was the first one eliminated. 457 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 4: Oh remember that? Okay, but I took off my shoes 458 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 4: and dance barefoot, and everybody took off their shoes and 459 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 4: dance barefoot, and that's what saved me. They were giggling 460 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:18,400 Speaker 4: so hard they didn't notice how bad I was dancing. 461 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 3: There you go. Okay, what are you doing for fun 462 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,360 Speaker 3: besides work?

I haven't had my invitation 464 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 3: to the house lately. I don't know why. 465 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,400 Speaker 4: That's not true. I've invited you twice.

Are you still surrounding yourself with friends? 471 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 4: I always do, because the best time in life that 472 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 4: you never regret is around people you love. If you 473 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 4: have two friends only in your whole life, hang out 474 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,160 Speaker 4: as much as you can with them. It's no fun 475 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 4: doing anything or discovering anything for me anyway alone. I'm 476 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 4: just a people person. So I would feel sad if 477 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,919 Speaker 4: I discovered a new plant or pretty arrangement and nobody 478 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 4: looked at it and said, wow, you know it's terrible, isn't? 479 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 4: But I need that kind of feedback. And if my 480 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,679 Speaker 4: friends are happy, I'm thinking I'm contributing in life. And 481 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,920 Speaker 4: if they're not happy, and you should come and contribute 482 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 4: to me, and I'll contribute you back at a dinner table, 483 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 4: you're never going to be happy, and that really is 484 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:20,439 Speaker 4: the best shared experience. 485 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,360 Speaker 3: I need some of that.
