Audio Transcription

I’m Where the hell is that cold coming from? Hey. Hey. Hello. I need to get just a few more. You’re going to pay by check if you can. I will. Not a car? No, the credit card, if they return it, then it’s a half. Help! Daddy!

We’re coming. How the hell would I know? Is he in the house? If he isn’t up on the ladder part and running his light, he must be in the house. I’m sure he wants to come shopping and have lunch with me. He’s got another car. He can drive.

I have to eat so I can take my back pill. Ellen! Hey! Ellen! Ellen! I’m going to get the mic cable.

Is it working for the mic case? Christmas is the time of year for being with the ones we love, sharing so much joy and I’m secretly super proud of DJ Hopper. It’s a secret thing. Can’t let him know though. Here’s the mic cable.

Did it work? Did the mic change? It did. Hey Aubrey, I’ve seen you ride around lost and found. What is that? What work?

It’s all these things. I’m Darth Vader and you’re Princess Leia. Aubrey, you are definitely not Darth Vader. We’ll see about that. I am the father. Aubrey, I was here when you were born.

I find the old man’s body in the dark. I’m the father. I’m the father. I’m the father. Abra, I was here when you were born. I find your lack of faith disturbing.

Abra, you’re going to make me at least a beast. Impressive. Why do you have the mask on? Anyway, it’s not me. A quick story about a young Coach Meyer. He would drive seven hours to hear Tom Osborne speak for about 15 minutes

and then drive all the way back through the night and be ready for the next day of practice. But that was his hunger and that was such a part of the culture that we had, was a hunger for improvement, to be better, to find the next steps no matter what it took. Some shows don’t need a celebrity narrator to introduce the show. But this show does. In a world filled with endless opportunities,

why would two men who have built 13 multi-million dollar businesses altruistically invest five hours per day to teach you the best practice business systems and moves that you can use? Because they believe in you. And they have a lot of time on their hands.

They started from the bottom, now they’re here. It’s the Thrive Time Show, starring the former U.S. Small Business Administration’s Entrepreneur of the Year, Clay Clark, and the entrepreneur trapped inside an optometrist’s body, Dr. Robert Zilman. Two men. Eight kids, co-created by two different women.

Thirteen multi-million dollar businesses. We started from the bottom, now we’re here. We started from the bottom, and so you gotta get here. Started from the bottom, now we’re here. We started from the bottom, now we’re here. We took pride, started from the bottom, and now we’re at the top.

Teaching you the systems to give what we got. Colton Dixon’s on the hoops, I’ll break down the blues She’s bringing some wisdom and the good news As the father of five, that’s why I’m alive So if you see my wife and kids, please tell them hi It’s the C and G up on your radio

And now 3, 2, 1, here we go! We started from the bottom, now we here We started from the bottom and we’ll show you how to get there We started from the bottom, now we here We started from the bottom, now we here We started from the bottom, now we here

We started from the bottom, now we hit it. We started from the bottom, now we hit it. Do you remember what happened? I know how to get those beads from Izzy. Well, yeah, you do. That’s nice.

You ask me nicely. I say please. Please. Thank you. Or you do the mean way. Give me your beads.

Give me the beads. I was just going to flash you with my nipples. Any time that you can say that on the air, I want you to not say that. Okay. Okay, so now we’re moving on to the next. I tell you what, he seems a little frisky today, so we’ve got to watch out.

No, he does. He’s got no boundaries today. Today’s the day where we’ve already called HR in advance. It’s weird. They saw me come in today from a mile away. So, I’m going to go ahead and say that.

I’m going to say that. I’m going to say that. I’m going to say that. Today is the day where we’ve already called HR in advance. It’s weird. They saw me coming today from a mile away.

I literally took three steps away from him when he was making the time. I did that for a reason. Wow. Okay, nice. So, I’ll try to recover from that little rabbit trail. Okay, so, Z, you were talking to Charles about being purposeful with how you manage your

time, and today we’re just talking about how to really, the character traits of successful people. the character traits of successful people and One of the things that you do and you do it all the time and I’ve watched you through osmosis I’ve been able to kind of pick it up is You’re very very

Reserved with where you spend your time very purposeful and you default to know you just you to default to know I’ve watched you do it. Someone says can you do this? No, we do that you default to know and then under a rare Unicorn event you’ll say yes almost reluctantly until you’re thoroughly convinced. That’s the best usage of your Remaining time on the planet. I why you’re just very good at that. Have you always been good at that or did you have to? You know see a time management guru as the time management sensei. Did you were you an extra in karate kid? Do you know mr. Miyagi? I I spent two afternoons with mr. Miyagi one time. I crawl there’s a mountain. There’s a time management mountain. It’s uh, it’s in the Himalaya range and I climbed that

Naked of course and got to the top and met with a chain by event Management guru at the top of which was very mr. Miyagi go like no It’s it’s like Charles you you know at first, you know You you don’t want to limit access to you because you you know, you’re the Ashman you got to say yes to everything. Absolutely Yeah, the more the merrier. Hey, let’s do it And after a while you realize that if you don’t say no

You’re just gonna let other people decide what you do throughout the day And I don’t I you know what I’ve call me a control freak But I like to control what I do during my day control freak. I’m okay You said to do it. I wanted to make sure I was subordinate But he asked me to say it so I said right away because if you don’t Control what you do for the day other people will and that’s just the way it is because there’s a lot the more success you have the more people look at you

And want something from you and they may want ideas they may want money. They may want encouragement They may you know I call it They’ve sucked the life juice out of you and by the time you let that happen throughout the day They’re they’re like energy vampires You know and they go around and they just and with chump chump he literally wants your body Which is why it’s weird.

It is weird. Is there any way I could… Can I sign your body? Can I just try your skin on for a little while? Will you sign my body? Guys, this is a serious business show, okay?

So I have a notable quotable that goes back to what Z was saying from Jack Welch, right? And he says, control your own destiny or someone else will. There you go. That’s it, right there. Jack’s the man. Which is why Z will not sign your body, Chup.

I wanted him to sign that quote. Okay, so here is the third point. The best way to help yourself is to help others by inspiring, motivating, and helping them grow. Zig Ziglar. And you know what, Clay?

We are perfect examples of that because we do that with our umbrella of Thrive Nation. Think about it. I mean, that’s really what we do on a daily basis. We do this radio show. We do the podcast. We do our in-person workshops.

We do our one-on-one business coaching, and we’ve spent a lot of money to put together a lot of really cool videos about mentorship that you can find for just a dollar the first month and then 19 bucks every month after that. Now, Paul, I want to get your take on this because Zig Ziglar says, you will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want.

I’ll say it again because apparently I struggle with the English language. You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want. And I would just like to add there, with boundaries. With boundaries. Because once you get good at helping people and you begin upserving more and more people, helping them succeed, you’re going to do well financially. But the problem is, if you try to scale that one-on-one interaction, your brain will explode.

And so I want to ask you, because you do the accounting, which accounting alone can make people’s brain explode. How do you guys do accounting for thousands of customers over their hood CPAs without your head exploding? I know you want to serve your customers. So where do you draw the line?

How do you draw the line between serving the customer and next thing you know, you’re going out to eat with 3,000 people a year? Well, Clay, I kind of have a different, I love Zig Ziglar and I love his quotes. I’ve said them to myself for years. I kind of, in my industry, I kind of go at it kind of backwards because I believe too many business owners, including myself in the past, allow dysfunction to continue.

In other words, if I’ve got an employee that’s not showing up on time, but boy, you know, I don’t want to fire them because I want to be nice. I’m actually not being nice to that person by allowing their dysfunction to continue. If I’ve got clients, people that come into my office and they’re not protecting their wives, their family, they don’t have enough life insurance, I’m not being nice by allowing that dysfunction to continue. If they’re not paying themselves and putting money back to the side, 3%, I’m

not. At hoodcpas.com, we’re not being nice if we allow dysfunction to continue. Same thing applies if they’re not doing their accounting, if they’re not measuring. You know, we can be sweet and not want to say the tough thing, but we can do it at the same time and show love by showing this is what you need to do and let’s do it together, Clay. Chuff, you had a little take here you wanted to chime in.

I want to just get a little weird for a minute and brag on you, Mr. Clay Clark, because you are one of the best examples I have seen at this. We have an awesome team right now at Thrive. We have so many solid people. I look around the office when we’re at work and I’m like, I think we could count on all of these people here. There’s not a bunch of weirdos, there’s no drama. And the reason that we do that is because we are all inspired and motivated by you, my friend. You are the

head of the ship and we all follow your lead. And you’re really, really awesome at that. And that’s been, what I would say, probably the best way to help yourself. Because now you’re having more time freedom, more family time, more things that you want to do on your schedule. Well, I appreciate you saying that. I will say this, it is the hardest part of my journey to do that because, so what I do

every morning when I get ready for work, I do this and don’t picture this visually here, but I do it every day. Every day I do hop in the shower at 5.15 I’m on empty and I’ve never had an outside person motivate me and I don’t know what it feels like to not be motivated. So therein lies a little bit of frustration every day and if I let it manifest and work its way to the surface, it’s not good because I don’t understand not being motivated.

Yeah, but that being said, I do understand not being organized or I do understand not being informed or not knowing time management or things that Z has taught me. And so I look at it as like, OK, I don’t understand why someone would need motivation, but I’m going to give it to you. And then the same reason that Z probably is going, why won’t the guy come up with a freaking no brainer?

Why won’t he build systems? So I think the big thing about inspiration is you want to leave the other party feeling whole and not full of holes. You want to coach people up and not talk down to them. I think that’s a big thing. Because we’ve all gone through something and we needed somebody to kind of help us get

through it a little bit. And I think the more success you have, if you’re not careful, you start to think that you’re awesome. And the curse of knowledge sets in and you think that you were never in that same spot. Well, the word that comes to my mind is edifying. When you’re around a person that’s an edifier and pumps people up and lifts them up and

makes them better when they walk away from them, that’s an awesome thing. So I would encourage everybody out there to be that. And when we come back, we’re going to talk about determining what you are preparing for. What’s the next step in your business growth? Stay tuned.

Give me a bead. I was just going to flash you with my nipples. Any time that you can say that on the air, I want you to not say that. Okay, so now we’re moving on to the next… I tell you what, he seems a little frisky today, so we’ve got to watch out. He’s got no boundaries today.

Let’s do it. And after a while you realize that if you don’t say no, you’re just going to let other people decide what you do throughout the day. And I don’t, I, you know what, I’m commonly a control freak, but I like to control what I do during my day. Control freak.

I’m okay. You said to do it. I wanted to make sure I was subordinate. Yes. Well, he asked me to say it. So I said, right away, because if you don’t control what you do for the day, other people

will. And that’s just the way it is because there’s a lot, the more success you have, the more people look at you and want something from you. They may want ideas, they may want money, they may want encouragement. I call it, they suck the life juice out of you. And by the time, if you let that happen throughout the day, they’re like energy vampires.

And they go around and they just… And with Chump, he literally wants your body, which is why it’s weird. It is weird. Is there any way I could… Can I just try your skin on for a little while. Will you sign my body?

The best way to help yourself is to help others by inspiring Motivating and helping them grow zig ziglar and you know what clay we are perfect examples of that because we do that with our Umbrella of Thrive Nation break about it. I mean, that’s really what we do on a daily basis

You know, we do this radio show we do the podcast with your in-person workshops We do a one-on-one business coaching and we’ve spent a lot of money to put together a lot of really cool videos about mentorship that you can find for just a dollar the first month and then 19 bucks every month after that.

So I would encourage everybody out there to be that. When we come back we’re going to talk about determining what you are preparing for. What’s the next step in your business growth? Stay tuned. Get ready to enter the Thrivetime Show on Talk Radio 1170.

Broadcasting live from the center of the universe, it’s Business School Without the BS, featuring optometrist turned entrepreneur, Dr. Robert Sellner, with USSBA Entrepreneur of the Year, Clay Clark. All right, as I mentioned, welcome back to the Conversation. If you’re just now tuning in, it is the Thrivetime Show on your radio, where we talk about Business School Without the BS.

We get into the brass tacks, the specific stuff that you need to know to get where you want to go. And one of the things I’ve discovered, and I started working on this outline when we started doing more and more workshops, because I noticed that when someone would approach me at a break and I would talk to them, I could almost pick up within about 30 seconds whether they were successful or not. It was almost like you could just tell.

And so I started making a list of what are the common denominators of the successful people. What are those things? And one of the things I wrote down, I wrote down 57 of these things, but one of the things that I wrote down was that the successful people are really able to determine what they’re preparing for. It’s like they know what the next step is.

They don’t know how to get there necessarily but they know the next step they might say start just saying it they start speaking it they so I’ll give example elephant in the room we are going to franchise okay we’re gonna do that well why are we gonna franchise that’s been part of the plan and so do we know every single step I know most of them now because I’ve done it with oxy fresh and helps other brands but at the same time like I it’s not a shock to me

that I’m at this point of the business or it’s not a shock. And so at the conference, the past we had the, uh, we set up a video camera so people could see better, you know, if they’re in the back and I wasn’t shocked that we would eventually need a camera to broadcast the show on the big screens. I also wasn’t shocked when we had many people had to turn away. So now we have to get a few more big screens so that way people can see the, um, the, the,

the notes and the outlines. They can see the notes while they can also see the video footage. We always kind of know the next thing. At your optometry clinic, you’re not shocked that you needed to expand. Right. But I think a lot of people, they’re so reactive that they almost seem shocked.

They’re like, oh my gosh, we have 53 employees. Now we should probably talk to an accountant or oh my gosh I can’t there’s like there I don’t know how to describe it but it seems like successful people know what they’re preparing for they know their goals and they just take aim and do it whereas people are struggling they they tend to not know what’s next they tend to be like well I don’t know yeah and sometimes it’s out of ignorance and sometimes it’s out of just lack of motivation and either one of those can you can overcome both of those. And that’s one of the things we are

getting people to overcome with our thrive nation umbrella of goodies. Clay Clark is here somewhere. Where’s my buddy play? Play the greatest. I met his goats today. I met his dogs. I met his chickens. I saw his compound. He’s like the greatest guy. I ran from his goats, his chickens, his dog. So this guy’s

like the greatest marketer you’ve ever seen, right? His entire life, Clay Clark, his entire life is marketing. Okay, Aaron Antis, March 6th and 7th, March 6th and 7th, guess who’s coming to Tulsa, Russia? Ooh, Santa Claus? No, no, that’s March, March 6th and 7th, you’re going to be joined by Robert Kiyosaki,

Robert Kiyosaki, best-selling author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad, possibly the best-selling or one of the best-selling business authors of all time. And he’s going to be joined with Eric Trump. He’ll be joined by Eric Trump. So we got Eric Trump and Robert Kiyosaki in the same place. In the same place. Aaron, why should everybody show up to hear Robert Kiyosaki?

Well, you got billions of dollars of business experience between those two, not to mention many, many, many millions of books have been sold Many many millionaires have been made from the books that have been sold by Robert Kiyosaki I happen to be one of them. I learned from the man He was the inspiration that book was the inspiration for me to get the entrepreneurial spirit as many other people now Since you won’t brag on yourself. I will you’ve sold

Billions of dollars of houses am I correct that is true and the book that that kick-started it all for you, Rich Dad Poor Dad, the best-selling author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, Robert Kiyosaki, the guy that kick-started your career. Yeah, he’s gonna be here. He’s gonna be here. I’m pumped. And now Eric Trump, people don’t know this, but the Trump Organization has thousands of employees. There’s not 50 employees. The Trump Organization, again, most people don’t know this, but the Trump Organization has thousands of employees. And while Donald J. Trump was the 45th president of these United States and

soon to be the 47th president of these United States, he needed someone to run the companies for him. And so the man that runs the Trump organization for Donald J. Trump as he was the 45th president of the United States and now the 47th president of the United States is Eric Trump. So Eric Trump is here to talk about time management, promoting from within, marketing, branding, quality control, sales systems, workflow design, workflow mapping, how to build. I mean, everything that you see, the Trump hotels, the Trump golf courses, all their

products, the man who manages billions of dollars of real estate and thousands of employees is here to teach us how to do it. You are talking about one of the greatest brands on the planet from a business standpoint. I mean who else has been able to create a brand like the Trump brand? I mean look at it and this is the man behind the business for the last pretty much since 2015. He’s been the man behind it so you’re talking we’re into nine going into ten years of him running it and we

get to tap into that knowledge. That’s gonna be amazing. Now think about this for a second. Would you buy a ticket just to see Robert Kiyosaki and Eric Trump? Of course you would. Of course you would. But we’re also going to be joined by Sean Baker. This is the best-selling author, the guy who invented the carnivore diet.

Dr. Sean Baker, he’s been on Joe Rogan multiple times. He’s going to be joining us. So you’ve got Robert Kiyosaki, the best-selling author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Eric Trump, Sean Baker. The lineup continues to grow, and this is how we do our tickets here at the Thrive Time Show.

If you want to get a VIP ticket, you can absolutely do it. It’s $500 for a VIP ticket. We’ve always done it that way. Now, if you want to take a general admission ticket, it’s $250 or whatever price you want to pay. And the reason why I do that and the reason why we do that is because we want to make our events affordable for everybody. I grew up without money. I totally understand what it’s like to be in a tight spot. So if you want to attend, it’s $250 or whatever price you want to pay. That’s

how I do it. And it’s $500 for a VIP ticket. Now, we only have limited seating here. The most people we’ve ever had in this building was for the Jim Brewer presentation. Jim Brewer came here. The legendary comedian Jim Brewer came to Tulsa.

And we had 419 people that were here. 419 people. Yeah. And I thought to myself, there’s no more room. I felt kind of bad that a couple people had VIP seats in the men’s restroom.

Oh, no, I’m just kidding. But I thought, you know what, we should probably add on. So we’re adding on what we call the upper deck, or the top shelf. So the seats are very close to the presenters, but we’re actually building right now, we’re adding on to the facility to make room to accommodate another 30 attendees or more. So again, if you want to get tickets for this event, all you have to do is go to ThriveTimeShow.com, go to ThriveTimeShow.com, when you go to ThriveTimeShow.com

you’ll go there, you’ll request a ticket, boom. Or if you want to text me, if you want a little bit faster service, you say, I want you to call me right now, just text my number, it’s my cell phone number, my personal cell phone number, we’ll keep that private between you, between you, me, everybody, we’ll keep that private, anybody, don’t share that with anybody except for everybody, that’s my private cell number it’s 918-851-0102. 918-851-0102. I know we have a lot of Spanish speaking people that attend

these conferences and so to be bilingually sensitive my cell phone number is 918-851-0102. That is not actually bilingual that’s just saying Juan for a Juan. It’s not the same thing. I think you’re attacking me. Now let’s talk about this. Now what kind of stuff will you learn at the Thrive Time Show Workshop? So Aaron, you’ve been to many of these over the past seven, eight years.

So let’s talk about it. I’ll tee up the thing, and then you tell me what you’re going to learn here, OK? OK. You’re going to learn marketing, marketing and branding. What are we going to learn about marketing and branding?

Oh, yeah. We’re going to dive into, you know, so many people say, oh, you know, I got to get my brand known out there, like the Trump brand. You want to get that brand out there. It’s like, how do I actually make people know what my business is and make it a household

name? You’re going to learn some intricacies of how you can do that. You’re going to learn sales. So many people struggle to sell something. This just in, your business will go to hell if you can’t sell. So we’re going to teach you sales.

We’re going to teach you search engine optimization, how to come up top in the search engine results. We’re going to teach you how to manage people. Aaron, you have managed, no exaggeration, hundreds of people throughout your career and thousands of contractors and most people struggle with managing people. Why does everybody have to learn how to manage people?

Well, because first of all, people are… you either have great people or you have people who suck. And so, it could be a challenge. You know, learning how to work with a large group of people and get everybody pulling in the same direction can be a challenge. But if you have the right systems,

you have the right processes, and you’re really good at selecting great ones, and we have a process we teach about how to find great people. When you start with the people who have a great attitude, they’re teachable, they’re driven, all of those things, then you can get those people all

pulling in the same direction. So we’re going to teach you branding, marketing, sales, search engine optimization. We’re going to teach you accounting. We’re going to teach you personal finance, how to manage your finance.

We’re going to teach you time management. How do you manage your time? How do you get more done during a typical day? How do you build an organization if you’re not organized? How do you do organization? How do you build an org chart?

Everything that you need to know to start and grow a business will be taught during this two-day interactive business workshop. But let me tell you how the format is set up here. Again folks, this is a two-day interactive 15…think about this folks. It’s two days. Each day it starts at 7 a.m. and it goes until 5 p.m. So from

7 a.m. to 5 p.m. two days. It’s a two-day interactive workshop. The way we do it is we do a 30-minute teaching session and then we break for 15 minutes for a question-and-answer session. So Aaron, what kind of great stuff happens during that 15 minute question and answer session after every teaching session? I actually think it’s the best part about the workshops because here’s what happens. I’ve been to lots of these things over the years.

I’ve paid many thousands of dollars to go to them. And you go in there and they talk in vague generalities and they’re constantly upselling you for something, trying to get you to buy this thing or that thing or this program or this membership. And you don’t, you leave not getting your very specific questions answered

about your business or your employees or what you’re doing on your marketing. And what’s awesome about this is we literally answer every single question that any person asks. And it’s very specific to what your business is. And what we do is we allow you as the attendee

to write your questions on the whiteboard. And then we literally, as you mentioned, we answer every single question on the whiteboard and then we take a 15-minute break to to stretch and to make it entertaining when you’re Stretching and this is a true story when you get up and stretch you’ll be greeted by mariachis There’s gonna probably be alpaca here llamas helicopter rides a coffee bar a

Snowcone, I mean, there’s just you had a crocodile one time. That was pretty interesting. You know, I Should write that down and I’m sorry for that one guy that we lost. The crocodile, we duct taped its face. So that’s right, we duct taped. It was a baby crocodile. And we duct taped.

Yeah, duct tape around the mouth so it didn’t bite anybody. But it was really cool passing that thing around. And I should do that. I should. We have a small petting zoo that will be assembled. It’s going to be great.

And then you’re in the company of hundreds of entrepreneurs. So there’s not a lot of people in America today. In fact, there’s less than 10 million people today, according to US Debt Clock, that identify as being self-employed. So if you have a country with 350 million people,

that means you have less than 3% of our population that’s even self-employed. So you only have three out of every 100 people in America that are self-employed to begin with. And when Inc. Magazine reports that 96% of businesses fail by default, by default, you have a 1 out of 1,000 chance

of succeeding in the game of business. But yet the average client that you and I work with, we can typically double the size. No hyperbole, no exaggeration. I have thousands of testimonials to back this up. We have thousands of testimonials to back it up. But when you work with a home builder, when I work with a business owner, we can typically double the size of the company

within 24 months. Yeah. Double? And you say double? Yeah, there’s businesses that we have tripled. There’s businesses we’ve grown 8x. There’s so many examples. You can see it throughout timeshow.com. But again, this is the most interactive best business workshop on the planet. This is objectively the highest rated and most reviewed business workshop on the planet.

And then you add to that Robert Kiyosaki, the bestselling author of Rich Dad Poor Dad. You add to that Eric Trump, the man that runs the Trump Organization. You add to that Sean Baker. Now you might say, Clay, is there more? I need more. Well, OK, Tom Wheelwright is the wealth strategist for Robert Kiyosaki.

So people say, Robert Kiyosaki, who’s his financial wealth advisor? Who’s the guy who manages? Who’s his wealth strategist? His wealth strategist, Tom Wheelwright, will be here. And you say, Clay, I still, I’m not going to get a ticket unless you give me more. OK, fine.

We’re going to serve you the same meal both days. True story. We cater to food. And because I keep it simple, I literally bring them the same food both days for lunch. It’s Ted Esconzito’s, an incredible Mexican restaurant.

That’s going to happen. And Jill Donovan, our good friend, who is the founder of Rustic Cuff. She started that company in her home. And now she sells millions of dollars of apparel and products. That’s rusticcuff.com. And someone says, I want more. This is not enough. Give me more. Okay. I’m not gonna mention their names right

now because I’m working on it behind the scenes here. But we’ve got one guy who’s given me a verbal to be here. And this is a guy who’s one of the wealthiest people in Oklahoma. And nobody really knows who he is because he’s built systems that are very utilitarian that offer a lot of value. He’s made a lot of money in the… It’s where you rent… It’s short term… It’s where you’re renting storage spaces. He’s a storage space guy. He owns the… What do you call that? The rental…

Storage space? Storage units! This guy owns storage units. He owns railroad cars. He owns a lot of assets that make money on a daily basis. But they’re not like customer facing. Most people don’t know who owns the mini storage facility. Or most people don’t know who owns the warehouse that’s passively making money.

Most people don’t know who owns the railroad cars. But this guy, he’s given me a verbal that he will be here. And we just continue to add more and more success stories.
