Clay Clark | Clay Clark Case Studies | “Everything We’ve Implemented Has Worked. The Morning Huddle, the Search Engine Optimization…I Came Across Clay’s Podcast While Driving. We Are Growing By 150%.” – Jamie Fagel

Audio Transcription

I’m Jamie Fagel, I’m the owner of Jameson Fine Cabinetry here in Raleigh, North Carolina. I was actually flipping through my phone looking for some podcasts, something to listen to other than the radio, and I came across Clay’s podcast and his little front page there kind of caught my attention. I listened to two of them and I was hooked and I listen to probably three or four of those a day now. I mean, basically, we’re a two-year-old company, and it’s been a challenge to manage every aspect of the company and still think about growing the business. Where I got caught up in the weeds, so to speak, and keeping the business running day to day. I never took time to look at how to advance the company or add the processes that you need to continue growing. That was fairly quick and pretty accurate. I mean, Clay called me on a Saturday. I had my 13-point assessment done and Monday morning I had the assessment in front of me and basically he hit spot-on where we needed to be. He showed us what we need to do, what our goals needed to be, what we needed to shoot for and that was the start of this entire process which I thoroughly enjoyed. We actually now show our goals on the on the walls in our showroom. I look forward to my call every Thursday. Andrew is great. You know, at first I thought he was a little bit young for what he’s doing. I’m being an old guy, and he’s like half my age, but I tell you what, this guy knows his stuff, and he’s awesome to work with. I look forward to my meetings every Thursday with Andrew. Since we first started, we’ve basically, we are virtually unknown on Google, on the internet, and starting a company and trying to grow it that way doesn’t work. I had a guy, a buddy of mine, who was doing my website and he had it for seven months and it didn’t go anywhere. Within, I think we signed up with these guys in May, and we are now on the front page of Google, first place, highest rated and most reviewed company in Raleigh. Yeah, I mean, like everybody, you watch the podcast and you listen to it. Everybody’s gone to the seminars, everybody’s heard the little hype on different things that are offered, the you know get rich quick schemes. I started listening to these guys and when I was listening to the podcast I could tell it’s more than just a scam, it’s not a get-rich-quick scheme. It’s these guys are actually teaching business fundamentals in a fun way that you can really appreciate it. You laugh along with them. It’s really just entertaining. So it’s an awesome thing. Oh, everyone that we’ve implemented has worked. We started with the morning huddle, which is the first thing. So every morning now, we have a morning huddle at 7 a.m. We get all the questions from the guys out of the way so I don’t get the 15,000 phone calls during the course of the day. So that’s worked tremendously. We do our level 10 meeting every Tuesday where we discuss the higher, more important things that we’ve got to accomplish for growing our business. That’s implementing the processes, fixing whatever issues that we had the week before, and putting things in place so they don’t happen again. We’ve done, we’ve really focused on Google reviews. When we started this, we didn’t have any, I think we had one Google review and four from home advisor Now was at the last check. We’re up to will be up to 80 tomorrow and Testimonials we’ve gotten I think we’re up to 15 15 or 16 tomorrow, and we just started the testimonials and two weeks ago. Oh, that’s great. Yeah If you’re if you’re listening to the podcast already, and I imagine if you’re listening to this you already have. Going to the conference really just kind of pulls everything together and then you can kind of get a one-on-one relationship with everybody and you’re meeting people who have already done it or are still going through it which helps you immensely. Like I said, it just kind of brings clarity to the whole process and you understand it. When you go into the Thrive office, it’s a unique place. It’s just a really cool place to be at. And just the excitement from all the people that work there. It’s just it was really, really good. It pumped me up when I came back. I’m ready to, you know, move the needle another 15, 15 gauges. Hey all you potential thrivers out there. This is Jamie Fagle. I’m with Jameson Pine Cabinetry in Raleigh, North Carolina. I started with Detroit 15 back in April of 2019. I came across Clay’s podcast when I was just kind of messing around one day when I was driving. I used to try to listen to educational things. So I found his podcast and started laughing. I mean it was just full of real down-to-earth everyday business stuff that happens. Whereas a lot of the other things I come across is just the same old, same old stuff that they just keep repeating. It doesn’t really go anywhere. So I listen to his podcast probably every day for about a week, week and a half. Then I call them to check in on what it’s all about and the coaching program that they have. Clay called me, I think within three days of me talking to the first person who went through and did the follow up and the walkthrough. So after talking to Clay, we decided to move forward with the program. I said, I’ve been doing it since 2019 of April. Couldn’t be happier. When we first came aboard with Drive 15, we were not known on the Internet. Nobody could find us. And now I’m on basically page one for all the important searches. There’s one more that we’re waiting to get to and hopefully within another month we’ll be on page one of that. And with that, we’ve already seen an increase in business just from the website. That’s not including when I have a sale, before I go out to that sale to meet with a customer, I tell them to look on our website and check out our reviews and our testimonials. By the time I get to the customer’s house, that job is already sold because of our reviews. We got 100 reviews when I started. I didn’t even think about getting reviews. I didn’t really know what the meaning was or how important they were to your overall business success. Finding out now is a huge part of it. Same with the testimonials. Once they got me set straight on what I need to be doing, it took a little while to get my crew of guys and our people to think about asking for the reviews. And then we went through three or four weeks of trying to figure out what the best way of getting the reviews is because you talk to a lot of people and they say they’re going to do the reviews, but it’s a little harder than it looks. Anyway, it’s well worth the effort that you put in. We have a system now that works fairly well and we’re getting the reviews. We don’t get as many as I’d like to, but we’re doing better at it and we keep adding to ours. So right now I am actually the most reviewed company in North Carolina as far as kitchen cabinets go. And we have the most testimonials. Like I said, that’s done a lot for us. With Clay and his team writing the SEO content, I have 13,000 words of content and that also helps. We’re now looking at adding to what we’re doing with adding podcast and video content as much as we possibly can because that’s where the biggest bang is. Some of the other things that I’ve learned, I went to the seminar or the conference that they have up there. I went to one of them in December and it was just great because you meet all the people who are struggling and going through the same things that you are going through. And then you have these real conversations. Conversations you don’t have with everyday people who are not running a business and don’t run into all the same things that you are trying to manage through while growing a business, protecting your money and keeping your customers all happy. So a lot of the things that I have learned and one of the other big ones would be the group interviews. I would always do the same old thing when I needed somebody, I’d post an ad and meet with one person at a time. Once I got tired of that, I picked the guy who was the best suited out of those three or four because I only had time to interview two or three people. Doing a group interview, are they dressed to impress, do they have their pad, do they show up on time, all those things and it makes a huge difference. I’ve hired now four people from the group interviews and all of them are rock stars, except for one. One guy didn’t quite work out but that was probably more my fault than his. But the group interview is a solid thing. You’ve got to follow it. You’ve got to do it. Some of the other things that we’ve done is the systems and processes. As much as you know that you need to do systems and processes, when you’re caught up in the day-to-day minutia of getting your business running, it’s really hard to focus on writing a process. But if you’re not doing those, your company is just not going to have that solid foundation that you need. And, you know, I’ve gone through a lot of corporate jobs in my time, and I know all about the processes and the checklists and all that, but never got to do them. Once I started with 515, it was kind of part of our homework to get these things done. And as I see these checklists go into action and people are starting to use them now, and all my employees are referring back to them. It’s a hell of a way to start training people. It just makes training a whole lot easier. You’re not trying to do that, you know, you’ve got to tell them 15 times before they get a thing. You can hand them a book and say, here’s what your job entails, here’s all the things you need to do, and here’s how you do it. The checklists are a great thing to get done. So right now, I mean, I said it’s moving along great. I highly recommend these guys. It’s one of the best things in my week. You know, it’s hard when you’re, you know, just constantly pushing, pushing, pushing to take that time to work on your business. If you don’t take that time to work on your business, your business will not get any farther than where it is now. And if it does, it’s by chance, not by skill, and it won’t last. You really need to get a foundation. You need to have these guys in your corner so you can talk about the current situation you’re dealing with. It’s not just a marketing company. These guys help you with marketing, they help you with business decisions, they help you with advertising, they talk about financials, everything that you need to have a good solid discussion with about your business. These guys are not part of your business, they’re not part of your family, they’re not your friends, they’re not anybody that you come and associate with. They’re just there to help you grow your business. It’s a mastermind group. It works great. Really at this point we’re looking at doubling our sales. Actually we’re on course to grow our business 150% this year even amidst the COVID-19 disaster that’s going on. And our state is one of those things that can’t seem to figure out what the best thing to do so they don’t do anything. Lock it down and shut it down and all that. So even with the COVID-19, we’re on pace to grow 150 percent and that’s phenomenal. And I attribute a lot of that to, or most of that to, my weekly conversations with Andrew and Clay. So well done guys. I really appreciate it. And I hope you potential thrivers out there jump into it. It’s a great thing. Can’t beat it. Thanks. My name is Deborah Worthington. I own H2Oasis Float Center and Tea House in the Farm Shopping Center in Tulsa. And I’ve been working with Thrive for about six months now. And working with them has changed the whole way I do business. One of the major improvements that happened was with regard to my website and the leads that come in. We weren’t capturing any leads before Thrive stepped in and now we get leads on a daily basis. Last time I checked we were over 450 leads and so I wasn’t expecting that. That was phenomenal. So now on our slower days we can really work those leads and add to our revenue. I love my coach My coach, Eric Chep, he has become such an important part of my life and my business. I wouldn’t want to give him up for anything at this point. So my weekly meetings with him has kept me on task. It’s kept me moving forward and not getting caught up into the daily grind of my business and not moving into the direction that I want to. He’s provided me with a level of accountability, so I am always having to get a certain amount of tasks done, and it’s made all the difference. I would definitely recommend Thrive 15 to any local business that doesn’t have their own resources readily available, or they don’t have their own marketing expertise, because they’re the whole package. Working with them and partnering with them is like having a whole agency at your disposal. It’s like having a whole team come in. Everything from art to videographers, photographers, business strategists, on and on and on. It’s just impacted our bottom line. We’re up 17% over last year already for this year working with Thrive, and we’re not even into our busy season yet. So I would definitely recommend Thrive to anybody who needs a little bit of encouragement, a little help with all the details that they’re struggling with, and to help them with what they don’t know to position themselves for success. All right, Thrive Nation, on today’s show, we have a wonderful opportunity to record sort of a testimonial or a success story of a long-time Thriver out there we’ve worked with by the name of Vidar Lagarde. And just to verify, he’s a real person. He’s not a hologram. He has a real ministry. The website is safarimission.org, safarimission.org. And we’ve had a wonderful opportunity to work with him for years and years. And I encourage everybody, check out that website today, safarimission.org. So, Vidar, I’ve got about 10 questions for you. One is, you know, we worked together for years. So, I thought you could maybe share with the listeners, how long have we worked together approximately? I’m not trying to paint you into a corner, but approximately how long have we been working together? Six years maybe, thereabout. Close enough. Rule of thumb numbers here. During that time we first met, your focus was and continues to be sharing the gospel people and equipping people and teaching people how to feed themselves, clothe themselves, how to educate themselves, how to empower themselves. There’s a lot of… So you have a ministry that focuses on reaching the lost, teaching the gospel, but also on a practical level, empowering people. Could you maybe clarify what is the mission at safarimission.org? Yeah, so to put it very simply, we train leaders and we transform people. A lot of nonprofits do handouts. We do not do handouts, we help grow people’s thinking patterns. Poverty is not lack of money, it’s a mindset that produces lack of money. So, we deal with the root issue, the mindset. We help people to find price, because it’s hard to get proper ethics if you don’t have something correctly in your heart. So, we start with the heart issues and we help people with their mindset and become productive in society. When you climb a ladder, you don’t start in the top rung, you start on whatever We’re working with such people that they’re importing eggs from a different country. Okay, how do you start a chicken farm? How do you start with rabbits? How do you start with food security in that particular case? We’re also in Nairobi, a huge, huge city. We help established business people get to the next level as well, all through kingdom, Christian principles found in the book of Proverbs and the Bible and so forth. And so when you and I met, one of the big areas that we wanted to focus on was to make giving something that was a recurring thing and not something that we had to go – you wanted to spend 90% of your time reaching the lost and like 10% of your time thinking about the finances, and 95% of your time thinking about the lost. And I know we’ve worked together to be able to increase the amount of recurring giving quite a bit to where it’s allowed you to focus on the ministry all the time, every day. Could you maybe share, not looking for numbers, but just for anybody out there that has a ministry or a nonprofit, as far as maybe a percentage, how much you’ve been able to grow the recurring giving portion of the ministry? Yes. Over these years, we’ve grown approximately 800 percent in recurring giving. And so we were in a situation where a lot of one-time gifts would come in, or the ministry was predominantly operating by one-time gifts. And the issue is you don’t know exactly when the next one is coming. It’s difficult to budget with that. And so you end up with time periods where things are tight because you’re depending on one-time gifts. So you helped us move into recurring giving. And so basically one way of saying that it’s better to have $100 a month than a one-time gift of $1,000 or $2,000 because you can plan on it. And so recurring giving over these years have gone up approximately 800%. We’re in a very different situation today where the day-to-day operating costs are, we know what’s coming in, and so it’s just a whole lot easier to operate. How has that impacted your ability to reach the lost and empower the lost, having that consistency of revenue? Because again, I deal with business owners all the time, muffler shops, automotive repair shops, dog groomers, dog trainers, veterinarians, photographers, lawyers, churches. And it seems like when the finances are not nailed down, all of the energy has to focus on that. I know that’s never been your heart. Your heart’s never been focused on the finances. Your heart’s been on reaching the lost. How has that been able to help you at Safari Mission be able to redirect your focus to be just on reaching people? Well, it’s a huge game changer because you’re going from maybe 50% of your time and energy thinking about those things. And of course, in a top leadership position, sometimes it’s not always just about where your action is at, it’s about what’s going on in your mind. That’s where you’re spending some time and energy. So that was about 50% or so, that’s down to 10%. So now we’re spending 90% on the field, actually helping people, putting together messages, books, content for podcasts. We’re in the sweet spot now. We were not in the sweet spot. We were toiling, I guess, is a word that you could use. So it’s been a complete game changer. And my final four questions I have for you is a lot of people, they wanna build an organization, but they’re not organized. They want to scale, but they’ve yet to nail it. It’s hard to scale it if you haven’t nailed it. And I really – I mean, if you’re listening on today’s show, on part two of today’s show, I’m going to share a success story about an accountant in Canada. And I really do believe that the accountant in Canada, his business is almost the same as your organization. The reason why he’s an accountant is he wants to help people become financially proactive. He’s not in ministry, but he really doesn’t want to spend his day thinking about the finances. He wants to think, he wants to focus his time on helping people. And I know that’s your heart as well. So for anybody out there that hasn’t worked with a coach before and specifically working with me or my team, how did it help you taking a lot of these ideas and to refine it into repeatable systems? How has that impacted your business? Yeah, it’s definitely impacted. And, you know, a big part of coaching is accountability. And so if you want to talk about the 80-20 principle, getting help to focus your time on the stuff that makes the most difference. There is always all these different distractions. There is always all this input that will pull your mind in different directions. accountability where you know, okay, let’s focus on the top three to five items every single week. That has really helped to move the needle. And then you can talk about, you know, once in a while you talk about the big picture. So if there’s certain things that are disorganized, you work on organizing those things. If you’re sales and marketing for business terminology, I guess, if those areas are not working properly and you focus on those areas until you get to a place that you successfully operate. It’s kind of like getting a wheel to spin, a flywheel, you know, a lot of energy to get that wheel going. And once the wheel is going, you don’t need a whole lot of energy. You need some to keep it going. But it’s more about managing what’s already going. And so, helping us transition from, you know, trying to get 50 flywheels going at the same time, you focus on the most important ones. Once you get two or three going, you can go to number four, five, and six. And so that’s, I think that’s the way it is with business. You get sales and marketing as kind of the offense. Then you got your operations, which is whatever product service you’re trying to sell. For us, it’s, you know, all the people we’re trying to help, well, are helping over in East Africa. Then you got the defense. It’s the accounting, the legal, those things have to be taken care of. You can’t be bleeding on the back end. So you’ve helped us put all these things together so that it becomes a holistic picture and you’ve got all these flywheels and they’re up in the air, they are spinning, and you spend a little bit of energy keeping those things going and then you focus on the sweet spot. Now, for people out there that utilize our service, we do charge a flat fee. And so I think that’s one wonderful thing about your ministry too, is people reach out to Safari Mission, they go, you know what, I wanna do $100 a month. And you’re not charging them more than what you agreed to, it’s a flat rate. You know, if someone says, I wanna donate $5 a month to Safari Mission, and by the way, I recommend people should look into that, safarimission.org, but if someone donates $5 a month or $100 a month or a thousand a month or whatever it is, you have a high integrity approach to it, you’re not nickel and diming your givers. I mean, it’s just a very transparent process. We operate the same way where we charge our clients a flat fee. How did that help you knowing that for the past six years it was a flat rate as opposed to, you know, most consulting firms I’ve ever worked with, the fees can go up 10 times more one month, five times more. Every time you talk to someone, there’s an extra charge. How did that help you knowing that you had a flat rate? Well, flat rates are just a whole lot easier to budget with. You know what’s coming in on the income side, and you know what’s going out on the outgo or the expense side. So that’s been real helpful. And then, of course, you know, the way you operate is not just the mentoring or the coaching aspect with your personal time, but it’s the whole team that’s behind you. So a particular month you might be helping us with some project, maybe putting a marketing video together because our own flywheel wasn’t spinning the way it should be. So you’ve got your team helping with those things, and it’s still been a flat fee. And that’s been very, very helpful so that you don’t have to think about project expenses because of your coaching experience. Now, my final two questions I have for you, final two questions are, if somebody’s out there on the fence and they’re thinking about, you know, the way it works with our business is we have 160 clients. Just yesterday we had a guy whose name is Benny. Benny is a guy who’s been wanting to work with us for a long time. We had another lady by the name of Benny. We had two Bennys in the same period of time, which is interesting. We have a female Benny and a male Benny. They want to work with us. We have kind of a waiting list. We only work with 160 clients. That’s because I don’t want to ever stretch myself too thin. I always want to be responsive and be able to know you, know your name, be able to be responsive. So for anybody out there that’s thinking about becoming a client or thinking about scheduling that free 13 point assessment at thrivetimeshow.com, what would you say to anybody who’s thinking about scheduling that free initial 13 point assessment? Well, nothing happens by thinking about it. And at some point there has to be action. But my big question would be, are you coachable? Are you willing to make change? A lot of people say they are, but you’ve got to be hungry enough that you’re willing to change your habits. Your daily habits sets you up for success. So make a personal inventory, make sure you’re coachable, make sure you’re willing to change, make sure you’re hungry enough that you’re willing to spend say maybe 10 hours every single week on working on your business versus working in your business. And then you just aggressively go for it and you call Clay and say, hey, I need to be at the top of that list. Now, final question I have here, again, if just kind of a summary thought I’m taking notes as you’re as you’re sharing here. I believe you said we’ve helped you grow by 800 percent. Maybe there’s a different way to quantify it or explain it. But what kind of impact has this coaching over the past six years made on Safari Mission dot org, sir? Well, the ministry has grown tremendously. That 800% is the increase in recurring revenue. We are now building buildings. We’re looking at land. We’re looking at much larger projects than what we were looking at eight months because we’re trying to figure out, okay, where’s the electricity bill money going to come from? So we’re in a very different spot. It means we’re helping a whole lot more people. Seven years ago, we were talking about helping thousands of people. Now that we’re looking at our annual report and our numbers, we’re talking about ministering to 3 million people every single year. That’s a huge difference in the amount of people that we talk to every single month. We were talking about 150 churches where the senior leadership was trained up by us. Now we’re talking about 500 churches where the senior leadership has been trained up by us. So big, big changes in the actual impact of what’s happening at safarimission.org. Again, folks, if you don’t know about safarimission.org, I encourage you to check it out at safarimission.org. I think a lot of business owners were looking for good causes to donate to, good charities to donate to, people that will be good stewards of those finances. And if you go to safarimission.org and want to request more information, Vidar and his team will be happy to talk to you about how they can partner up with you for as little as $5 a month. Vidar, thank you so much for your time, sir, and I’m sure we’ll see you very, very soon. We will. Thank you, Clay, and you have an awesome day. Take care. Hi, my name is Josh Sperl from Sperl and Associates, chartered professional accountants based out of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I met Clay at a conference, at his conference in Tulsa, in June of 2018. Started working with the coaching program shortly after there, you know, the experience has been great. You know, you really have a partner in the grind. You know, most people, I like to say most people are wrong about most things about business most of the time. And it’s very difficult for entrepreneurs to connect with other entrepreneurs who actually know what they’re talking about when it comes to business, but Clay and his team really does understand. You know, the tangible improvements that we’ve seen is we’re up over 50% since starting with the coaching program, and you know, they’re helping to help business owners create time, freedom, and financial freedom. And I know what you’re gonna think. You’re gonna say, what the heck are you gonna do with your time freedom and financial freedom when you’re in Edmonton Alberta Canada that’s the most northerly city in North America with a million people you know we’re probably just sitting in our igloos hoping for some television but I’ll give you an idea of what we’re doing in Edmonton Alberta Canada. So over here we have Sandra and we have Emma. Emma say hello. Hi everybody this is my daddy’s channel. Ha ha ha, Emma really likes any video. So let’s see what actually the time freedom, financial freedom can do for you in Edmonton. So, believe it or not, we have a beach here guys. And I’ll take you on a little tour of Edmonton’s beach. Now it’s not what you Americans are going to think of as a beach. This is a northern beach. We’ve got a really cool slide here. I don’t know if you can see this purple slide. This purple slide that you’re looking at here is a full loop-de-loop. It’s not completely upside down. Let’s see if I can get the right angle here. Now that does not appear physically possible but it really is going to knock you upside down when I did it last time. And here is the Edmonton Beach. This is the Northern Beach. You guys, I wouldn’t tell you Americans think you have all the beaches here but here is the Northern Beach complete with waves. We got 30 degree weather inside here. I’m sorry, 30, that’s 90 for you guys over there. I gotta do the translation, the math in my head. And we even got a zip line that we can ride down here. And this is what we’re doing with our time freedom and financial freedom in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Thanks to the Thrive Time Team. Thanks very much, guys. JT, do you know what time it is? 4.10.

I’ve represented a lot of major companies and I think I’ve learned a few things about what makes them work and what makes them not work. Now, why would a man living in Hollywood, California in the beautiful sunny weather of LA come to Tulsa? Because last year I did it and it was damn exciting. has put together an exceptional presentation. Really life changing. And I’m looking forward to seeing you then. I’m Michael Levine, I’ll see you in Tulsa. Thrive Time Show two day interactive business workshops are the world’s highest rated and most reviewed business workshops. Because we teach you what you need to know to grow. You can learn the proven 13 point business systems that Dr. Zellner and I have used over and over to start and grow successful companies. We get into the specifics, the specific steps on what you need to do to optimize your website. We’re going to teach you how to fix your conversion rate. We’re going to teach you how to do a social media marketing campaign that works. How do you raise capital? How do you get a small business loan? We teach you everything you need to know here during a two-day, 15-hour workshop. It’s all here for you. You work every day in your business, but for two days you can escape and work on your business and build these proven systems so now you can have a successful company that will produce both the time freedom and the financial freedom that you deserve. You’re going to leave energized, motivated, but you’re also going to leave empowered. The reason why I built these workshops is because as an entrepreneur, I always wish that I had this. And because there wasn’t anything like this, I would go to these motivational seminars, no money down, real estate, Ponzi scheme, get motivated seminars, and they would never teach me anything. It was like you went there and you paid for the big chocolate Easter bunny, but inside of it, it was a hollow nothingness. And I wanted the knowledge, and they’re like, oh, but we’ll teach you the knowledge after our next workshop. And the great thing is we have nothing to upsell. At every workshop, we teach you what you need to know. There’s no one in the back of the room trying to sell you some next big, get-rich-quick, walk-on-hot-coals product. It’s literally, we teach you the brass tacks, the specific stuff that you need to know to learn how to start and grow a business. I encourage you to not believe what I’m saying, and I want you to Google the Z66 auto auction. I want you to Google elephant in the room. Look at Robert Zellner and Associates. Look them up and say, are they successful because they’re geniuses or are they successful because they have a proven system? When you do that research, you will discover that the same systems that we use in our own business can be used in your business. Come to Tulsa, book a ticket, and I guarantee you it’s gonna be the best business workshop ever and we’re gonna give you your money back if you don’t love it. We’ve built this facility for you and we’re excited to see it. And now you may be thinking, what does it actually cost to attend an in-person two-day interactive Thrive Time Show business workshop?

Harvard Kiyosaki, The Rich Dad Radio Show. Today I’m broadcasting from Phoenix, Arizona, not Scottsdale, Arizona. They’re close, but they’re completely different worlds. And I have a special guest today. Definition of intelligence is if you agree with me, you’re intelligent. And so this gentleman is very intelligent. I’ve done this show before also, but very seldom do you find somebody who lines up on all counts. And so Mr. Clay Clark is a friend of a good friend, Eric Trump, but we’re also talking about money, bricks, and how screwed up the world can get in a few and a half hour. So Clay Clark is a very intelligent man, and there’s so many ways we could take this thing but I thought since you and Eric are close, Trump, what were you saying about what Trump can’t, what Donald who is my age and I can say or cannot say? Well first of all I have to honor you sir. I want to show you what I did to one of your books here. There’s a guy named Jeremy Thorn who was my boss at the time. I was 19 years old working at Faith Highway. I had a job at Applebee’s, Target, and DirecTV, and he said, have you read this book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad? And I said, no. And my father, may he rest in peace, he didn’t know these financial principles. So I started reading all of your books and really devouring your books, and I went from being an employee to self-employed to the business owner to the investor, and I owe a lot of that to you. And I just wanted to take a moment to tell you thank you so much for allowing me to achieve success. And I’ll tell you all about Eric Trump. I just want to tell you, thank you, sir, for changing my life. Well, not only that, Clay, you know, thank you, but you’ve become an influencer. You know, more than anything else, you’ve evolved into an influencer where your word has more and more power. So that’s why I congratulate you on becoming, because as you know, there’s a lot of fake influencers out there, or bad influencers. Yeah. So anyway, I’m glad you and I agree so much and thanks for reading my books. Yeah. That’s the greatest thrill for me today. Not thrill, but recognition is when people, young men especially, come up and say, I read your book, changed my life, I’m doing this, I’m doing this, I’m doing this. I learned at the Academy, King’s Point in New York, acta non verba. Watch what a person does, not what they say. Watch what a person does, not what they say. Whoa, man. you you you you
