Audio Transcription

🎵Music🎵 I’m Think about turning it into two bases but pumps the brakes and we’ll only have one on the ball for a sprint. Remember in banana ball instead of walks we have sprints. All seven fielders behind the pitcher and catcher have to touch the ball before it is live as you see. Wow! How about that? the ball before it is live as you see. Oh wow! How about that? Our bat dog with a trick play. Okay, JT, a lot of wonderful people are doing a search for a Wasso dog training. They’re doing a search for a Wasso dog training. I’m sure if you’re listening to this right now, you probably have done a search for a Wasso dog training. And when you do a search for a Wasso dog training, you’re going to find Make Your Dog Epic. You’re also going to find this wonderful company called Marley’s. You’re going to find Tip Top. I’m sure just great companies, great people. Yeah, probably just great everywhere. Right. Yeah. However, you add in that, however, all of a sudden those are fighting words. But no, you just say however or and. And I believe that Make Your Dog Epic is perhaps the best solution available. So again, you do a search for a Wasso dog training because you’re looking for an Owasso dog trainer, and I believe that Make Your Dog Epic is the best solution available. So I thought what we could do is methodically go through why you believe Make Your Dog Epic is in fact the best brand, the best opportunity, the best value proposition available at Owasso for dog training. And then I am going, not that Satan needs an advocate, not that Lucifer needs somebody to Speak on his behalf, but I’ll be the devil’s advocate and I’m gonna ask you the question And then I’m gonna kind of fight with you a little bit. Yeah, let’s do obviously we’re on the same team It’s a little tension little creative. Yeah. Yeah, okay here. We go, so I’m gonna reach out to you I’m calling you right now via the phone. I called Boom what makes make your dog epic great, and I’ve already talked to these wonderful other companies. Why should I hire Make Your Dog Epic? Yeah, well, one of the big things is first lesson is just 50 cents. So that way we can come out, we can meet you and your dog, and then we can tell you what it will take to get your dog to your goals. Because every dog’s different and everyone’s goals are different. So we don’t want to charge you some outrageous package if you just want your dog to stop barking or if you want your dog to be competition quote unquote ready. We don’t want to you know just keep your dog from barking. We’re going to switch into an alternative universe where I’m going to be a difficult person. Yeah. And I’m going to do it. I’m going to and I don’t want you getting out of my I’m getting into my character now. Oh let’s do it. Now I’m upset because that’s how I roll because I’m a difficult person. And I want you to overcome my objections. OK. So. Oh yeah. Sounds like a scam. Yeah, well, the first lesson’s 50 cents, so that way we can come see your dog and we can tell you what the, what it’ll actually take to get your dog to your goals. So at that lesson, we’re gonna work with your dog, with you, and we will beat any competitor’s price, so we’re the lowest priced in town, or in the state, actually, so lowest priced in state, and on top of that, we offer a money back guarantee. So it can’t possibly be a scam because it’s lowest price and you get a money back guarantee so it will work or you’ll get money back. So what’s the catch? What is the catch? Overall, what’s the… there’s got to be a catch. It’s like a scam, a scammachery. What’s the catch? Well, catch is it’s not just 50 cents. Obviously. Ha ha ha ha! You guys are going to try to make a profit. Yes. So after that, we will have to charge. So there, but we want to tailor package specifically for your dog. And again, we will beat any competitive price. So how am I getting screwed? Well, you’re not. So you’re truly not. And the biggest thing, so on the dog training front, our biggest thing is obedience, but never at the expense of the dog’s personality. Because if I get your dog to listen, but I have to crush its soul in the process, it’s not worth it. Or if I get your dog super energetic and it has a ton of fun, but it doesn’t listen, well then that’s pointless because you just sent it away for fun camp. Now this is something I’m sure nobody would ever think about if they filled out our form at MakeYourDogEpic.com, and I’m sure you’ve never talked to someone like this. But what I’ve seen other people do, not our wonderful potential customers, is there are certain people that don’t understand that dog training is a craft that you’ve devoted thousands of hours to mastering. You’ve gone to ongoing dog training education. You’ve been trained by celebrity dog trainers. You’ve been trained by award-winning dog trainers, certified dog trainers. So I’m going to go back into that mindset of that sort of a gremlin human who’s asking questions because he’s just pissed about other things bigger than this issue here. But I’m going to try to ask questions about that kind of the dog training thing because I think people try to simplify, oversimplify, or discount, I guess, the value that you guys provide as a dog trainer. So let me go into that. Here we go. So why can’t I just train the dog myself? I mean, ultimately it’s just about the breed, right? Right? Right? Yeah. So you can do, we can do one-on-one lessons. So if you want, if you want to try to train the dog yourself, that’s great. And then if you can’t do, you can always give us a call back. But we did one-on-one lessons where it’s half dog training, half human training. I let everyone listening guess which one’s harder. But it’s half dog training, half human training, so we’re walking you through how to train your dog. So if you want to be super involved in the process, that’s awesome. Then we’ll do one-on-one lessons. On the other note, if you don’t want to be super involved and you just want us to train your dog for you, we can do that as well, but you’ll still have quote-unquote human training at the end because we have to train you how to stay up with the training. Now there are people that, again, at MakeYourDogEthic.com, this is very rare. This ever happens. We have such a great package, such a great solution, such a great no brainer. People are just excited about it, but there are people out there that feel like everybody’s a dog trainer. So I’m going into that mindset now. Here we go. Yeah. Yeah. So my, uh, my sister, you know, she’s a dog trainer, you know, we just like she, she was, uh, we had a dog growing up and it’s like, okay, dog, go outside, you know, and the dog says no. And we, we would say, go outside! You know, so I feel like my sister could just do it, you know, because we would do what we call the yelling method. I’ve also watched the Dog Whisperer, there’s the guy who was the, you know what I’m talking about. So I mean, why would I just not have my sister do it using what we call the yell method? Well, you could do that, but one, you’re training, based on what you said, you’re training the dog based on fear and that’s not how we want to train dogs. So we want dogs to enjoy their life. We just want them to have more freedom through obedience. It’s just like a kid, a kid that listens and you can trust your kid to go out and do stuff. They get more freedom to do stuff. Where if you know your dog’s going to always tear stuff up or run away if it’s off leash or go attack that dog across the street or murder the bunny rabbit, well then it gets less freedom. It always has to be on a leash or it always has to stay inside. And what we want to do is give the dog more freedom, but not through fear. And then the other part is I would just ask, does your sister offer a money back guarantee? Because truly I know through all the training that we 100% offer the best dog training, and then we also offer the best price because we’ll beat any competitive price. So I know both all of that coupled with a money back guarantee, we are the best option. Okay, let me give you another scenario. And again, I’m sure nobody out there shares this mindset, but there are people that want to treat the dog to success. And that their philosophy is just give the dog endless positive reinforcement. Don’t give it a focused based, positive reinforcement training methodology. Don’t use best practices, just simply give the dog treats at all times. So let me go into that mindset first. Here we go. So why can’t I just give my dog candy? I mean, I don’t understand why we can’t just give our dogs just treats and little biscuits and go like, hey, sit, here’s a biscuit. Hey, quit barking, here’s a biscuit. Hey, go outside, here’s a biscuit. Go inside, here’s a biscuit. Why can’t I just use a biscuit? Yes, so that’s actually super common. So we definitely don’t want to punish the dog, but think about it from the dog’s perspective if you only ever give it treats. Because one thing that people run into a lot is you’re going for a walk with your dog. Actually let’s use the mailman. This one’s easier. So mailman comes to the house. Your dog barks. The mailman leaves. In the dog’s head it thinks, oh, I just saved the whole house. I’m part of the Avengers that mailman left cuz of me nice and then it gets worse and worse over time and Then people typically do one of two things either one they do a negative reinforcement, so they either yell at the dog Like your sister or cousin did yeah, or they hit the dog with the newspaper Shot call or kicked a dog whatever Now the dog because they don’t think ration like we do the dog thinks every time the mailman comes, mom whacks me with this newspaper. And now the dog has one or two reactions. One, it gets worse, and the dog’s like, I have to bark louder, fresher, stronger, so the mailman gets here, mom’s about to be pissed. Or two, the dog listens, but at the expense of its personality. And if I could tell you, hey, I’ll fix all of your dog’s issues, but your dog will have no personality after, you’d be like, please get out of my face. So then on the other side of that is the positive. So if you, uh, mailman comes, you basically what a lot of trainers will have you do is have the dog, um, look at you, watch you, uh, or right when it stops barking, you give the dog a treat, you’re rewarding the behavior. So now when the mailman comes and dog barks and you’re like fluffy, stop, fluffy, stop. And then the dog stops and it gets attention on you. Now you give it a treat. Well, now it learns, oh, nice. Every time the male one comes, I bark once, now I get a treat. And so maybe you don’t have like the constant barking, but you have like the bark once, stare at mom, do I get my treat? No, okay. Bark twice, stare at mom, do I get my treat? Oh, now I get the treat. Okay, so it’s two barks. And now the dog is just trying to figure out how many times it needs to bark to get the treat, and you’re rewarding the bad behavior. So that’s why you can’t only do treats because then you’re just rewarding the bad behavior and you’re going to make it worse. What about the guy, there’s people out there and I’m sure nobody out there shares that mindset who insist on, I call them helicopter parents. I call them Mr. Interactive. So let me give you an example. The kid wants to play football. So the dad feels like, yeah, I want my son to play football. I just have to be the coach. The coach says, I love the enthusiasm, Carl. Love that your son, Skyler, wants to be on the Broken Arrow team, the Owasso football team. That’s exciting. I love that. Love what you’re doing. Love where you’re coming from. Love the mindset. You’re more than welcome to drop him off. I encourage you to play catch with them, maybe do drills at home. And he’s like, yeah, yeah, but I want to coach. No, no, no, I love the enthusiasm, but we already have a head coach, offensive coach, defensive coach, special teams coach, and you, I appreciate you, but we don’t need another coach. Yeah, but I want a coach. So, there’s a personality type out there that wants to show up at the dog lessons. So, let me switch into that. You respond. Here we go. I like what you guys are doing, but is there any way that I could just be there the whole time and train the dog, too? Because I have a method I’ve been working on. So, the answer is yes, you can be there the whole time if you want. So if you want to do one-on-one lessons, then we can train you. However, you have to train the way we train. So what we’re gonna do is we’re gonna train you on our method and how we train, because I’ve learned from gurus, celebrity dog trainers, so I’ve taken everything they’ve taught and I’ve packaged it into what we do, because that’s really what all dog training is, is just repackage stuff that’s not really any new ideas. And so what I’ve done is I’ve taken what I view to be the best from every trainer I’ve ever trained with, and I’ve coupled it into a system that we call focus-based positive reinforcement training. And so you can be there the whole time, but you gotta train on our system and how we train. What about the guy who just wants the price? You know, because I’ve seen you, you meet these dogs, see whenever somebody scheduled their first lesson for 50 cents, I’ve watched you do it, you go out and meet the customer and you figure out the breed of the dog, how old is the dog, the variables, and then you after that, you sit down and you figure out, okay, these are the issues, this is the situation, okay, these are the solutions you want, based upon that, it should require about this much time, and so you lay out different packages and pricing options. But there are certain people that just want the price of the phone, so let me do that, and then you just sort of work with me on that. Okay, so here we go. Let’s do it. Yeah, I just want the price, buddy. Just tell me the price. I’m just going on behalf of my wife. I just want the price. Give me the price. Tell me the price. Yeah, well, I can’t tell you exactly without seeing your dog. Every dog’s different and everyone’s goal is different. So truly, I can’t. And I’ll tell you why on our end. So if I just went based on notes, I went to a lesson where it said, this is a true story, in the notes it said it was a German Shepherd, Great Pyrenees Husky mix, and that it had mild aggression. And then I get there, and I’m looking at the dog, I’m looking at the person, and I’m like, is that a wolf? And they’re like, it’s part. And so they had a part wolf, and then come to find out it had already attacked three people. Oh, come on! Yeah, so it was at a groomers and they have this dog in the back because they had the puppies or whatever and they gave all nine away and now they got this one back because it started being aggressive to everyone in the house including its owners and they one of their ladies went to put it on the tie back and then when she did it bit her on the arm. Then she bit her on the stomach and then she tried to run away and it tackled her and grabbed her by the shoulder neck area. It started thrashing. And so she’s at this first lesson bandaged up and she’s like I do not want to get rid of this dog. I love this dog. I don’t want to have to put it down. Can you fix it please? After it’s this wolf hybrid. Yeah so this thing is a monster but if I went based on the notes I would have recommended one package where really they needed another. And then that dog now, so that dog, because it’s part wolf and super sketchy, will always have to wear a muzzle. However, now the dad, the dad got a deal with MTV, so he flies back and forth to Miami because he’s doing some guitar whatever on MTV, and that dog gets to fly with him because it heals next to him, it sits, it downs, it doesn’t growl at people and so it gets to fly on private jets. You’re saying the dog is sketchy? Oh yeah, sketchy. What do you mean by sketchy? So sketchy, it means like untrustworthy. Like you never know when it’s gonna like, like it’s untrusting. Like you never know when it’s gonna like try to eat you. That’s wild. People don’t have a dog like that. Yeah, oh, they do. And it’s actually more like people have like coyotes. They have no, they don’t. But wolves, foxes don’t have a fox. Yeah, they got foxes. No, I’m serious. They do bring you a fox. Yeah, they’ve had foxes, coyotes, part wolves, monkeys. Yeah, I mean, people know what’s asked me to train their monkey yet. But there’s people in. So I used to go on, this is unrelated to dog training, but I used to go on service calls with my grandpa because he used to own an air conditioning business. And he, we went into this house and they had a cage. It was actually the size of this office that we’re in right now in the Box of Rocks. And it was a monkey cage. And they had two monkeys in there that is just in their home. And it’s like, they’re swinging around. I mean, it was really cool. They’re like, six foot tall monkey? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, they’re like the smaller ones They were like maybe a foot. I don’t know that don’t ask me the Breed or what? I mean they said I couldn’t go in there, but It was cool from the outside and he so your grandfather had monkeys. No, no No, he we went to a house because he used to do service call, but he’s doing service calls the AC company Yeah, he owned. Yeah, he owns the AC company. He shows up at a customer’s house and they have monkeys. Yes, and they have monkeys. There’s some wild stories from going on those calls that I’ll tell you later, but they have monkeys. So people have monkeys, they have foxes, coyotes, part wolves, people have everything. That’s why we have to go see it, so I know that I’m actually training a chihuahua and not a cat. I really feel like this is a good segue because you’ve seen it all at this point. You’ve seen dogs in Tennessee, you’ve seen dogs in Oklahoma, you’ve seen dogs in Las Vegas, you’ve seen dogs in California, I believe, right? You’ve seen dogs in multiple different states. California, Florida. I had somebody drive their dog out from Orlando. Would you like to train with us? Oh yeah. Wow. And so what’s happening is it’s all culminating as people are beginning to discover that you really know what you’re talking about with dog training. You’re beginning to have some really cool opportunities now that are emerging, and one of which is you’re the Tulsa Drillers’ bat dog. I don’t know if people have seen this or they’re aware of this, but you now are going out there any given week, and you guys are the official bat dog for the Tulsa Drillers. You also were the official bat dog for a Savannah Bananas game recently. This is kind of like the Harlem Globetrotters of baseball. Tell us about this event. I’ll pull up on the screen and I’ll mute the audio, but tell us about this event, this Savannah Bananas event and why this was such a great opportunity for you and the great team at Make Your Dog Epic. Yeah, well it was just great. We got to go watch the Savannah Bananas game we do at the Tulsa Drillers. It’s just a great opportunity to interact with the crowd. There’s a bunch of people taking pictures with Achilles. It got to go get the bats. And so there’s levels. So like teaching a dog to grab a bat with nothing around is one thing, because you’re teaching retrieve with its, which for a lot of duck dog trainers, they tell you that it’ll take multiple months and it will crush the dog’s personality. And because we don’t do that, it one, it didn’t take that long, and we were able to not crush his personality as you can see But then the drillers is the next step up because it’s a lot of distractions. So there’s a lot of crowd cheering stuff like that But the bananas that’s like a you’ll find out very quickly if your dog listens around distractions at the Savannah banana So Achilles did great And he got the bat and the announcers loved it The fans loved it the team loved it and he was doing great the whole time and he was loving it. But they have pyrotechnics going off the whole time, they got music blasting, the players randomly break out and dance. It’s like an in-person high school musical. It’s really a fun event. They’re great. What do you, I mean, what did you personally like most about the Savannah Bananas event? If you could think about the highlights. I’ll pull up another video so people can see these guys. What did you enjoy most about watching these guys in action, live, performing? Because there’s a lot of hype, a lot of energy about these guys. What did you personally enjoy about them the most? I mean, they’re truly great. I mean, you see some of these where they do fun videos, but then in person you meet them and they’re the worst. These guys, true, they were great I mean they were they the how it sort of works with the Savannah bananas is the entertainment starts an hour before they’re throwing bananas out of the stands at players they’re really interacting with the kids the umpires are interacting with the kids everyone’s super nice and if I was a kid I would have loved it and I mean I loved I’m 29 I still loved it but if I was a kid it was super interactive they had people come on come out to the field. They had a dad dance off, so they chose five random dads. They randomly do baby races where they have kids that are between the ages of one and a half and three or whatever race across the field. It’s great. Are the baseball players actually good at baseball? Oh yeah, they’re all like ex-Division One baseball players or whatever. So like when I watched, they hit a line drive in the left field and this guy goes back and he jumps, does a backflip, catches the line drive. It was like I was genuinely super impressed. So it was, it was a great, they have a high scoring game. Is it a game where the, you know, the, the both teams are scoring a lot. I mean, they’re, they’re playing actual baseball, so they’re, uh, it’s competitive. They just have the entertainment in between. I think the game I went to, I think it ended like 8-7 or something. So it’s like, decently high scoring, but you see how like, randomly the catcher will lay like that, but he’s still good, like he’s still catching it. They do all the stuff that your high school coach would be absolutely super annoyed about, but that you know you can do. So like, they hit a pop fly and the guy lays down on his back to catch it, and it just almost hits him in the face. It’s great. Are they actually competing? Yeah. Like, is it predetermined who’s winning? No, it’s not like the Harlem Globetrotters where, as far as I know, it’s not like the Harlem Globetrotters where you always know the Harlem Globetrotters are going to win. The other team’s really good, too, and they have three teams. So they have the Savannah Bananas, the Party Animals, and the Firefighters, or whatever they’re. And I talked to them, and it might be, I’m going to follow up with him, but we might be training a Dalmatian for the firefighters baseball team. Really? So they go to minor league stadiums all across the country. Is that kind of thing? Yeah. And now even a major league stadium. So they really had one this last, uh, this year and they sold it out. So they went from selling out high school stadiums and now they’re selling out and hit us to random stuff that makes no sense, but it’s just funny. So now they’re selling out major league baseball stadiums. How did they first, I mean, has this been around for a long, long time? Is this a new thing? Has it been around for years? I believe it’s been around for, he was that guy there, Dan, he was really nice. He loved Achilles. He was, he was around a bunch, but yeah, I think they’ve been around for like six years or something. Yeah. the last two years they’ve really started to like sell out and have some massive crowd. The crowd looked huge. Yeah. The crowd like Achilles. Was that something the crowd was into? Oh yeah. They loved Achilles when we were because we only do the first four innings and then after that the bat-dog stuff has to be done just like with the drillers we only do the first seven but so as we were leaving it took us I think it was like 45 minutes almost an hour just to exit the stadium because of how many people were taking pictures with Achilles. Really? Oh yeah. They were loving it. We had a yeah and this guy walks around he’s in the dugout for the most he loved Achilles too he’s taking selfies with them but he’s in the dugout for most of the time but then he has his random innings where he’ll pitch on stilts and he’ll even hit. And it’s, it’s great. Oh man. And the fans are loving that you had people dressing up as a, like in banana costumes. You have people wearing all yellow. That’s the, I think that MC there, that’s the owner of all of it. As far as I’m, I know. Got it. Yeah. So this, you had a good time here. Then Achilles had a good time. Oh, we had, I had a great time. Achilles had a great time. Fans had a great time. The Savannah Bananas players, coaches, they all had a great time. Now let’s talk about the dog thing, back to the dog thing, and then we’ll wrap it up here. Is it, you know, a lot of times people have a dog and they’re not having a good time. Oh yeah. And people have a dog and it’s not a good time. It started out as a good time, you know, they went online, they said, hey, I want to get a cute puppy. I’m going to get a cute puppy. That’s what I’m going to do. So they, you know, for whatever reason, I don’t know why, good, bad, whatever, they’re like, I’m going to get a puppy. So they go online and they’re like, what kind of dog should we get? And they finally go, oh yeah, this guy right here. That’s what I’m getting, this little fuzzy thing. I’m going to get this fuzzy ball of an animal, this canine, I’m getting it, I’m bringing it home. Yep. And that’s how it starts. As you see those, the little puppies, you’re like, oh, it can’t get cuter. Oh yeah. And then you’re right. It doesn’t get cuter and it gets bigger and then it starts having energy and then it starts peeing in the house and then it starts holding you hostage so it’ll, it starts chewing stuff up. Yeah, I mean we’ve seen all the time where people, they get a dog or the one that I always think is hilarious, the wife or the husband gets one for the other person. Oh boy. Even though the other person is the one who asked for the dog. And so now they’re stuck with the dog, and the dog’s barking at people when they come over. It’s jumping on all the house guests. It’s tearing up the furniture. And they thought they were getting the dog because it would be their best friend. They’d be able to take it to the beach, to the lake, hiking with them. They get it with very good intentions, but they don’t understand how much work goes into it. And then once you start looking at dog training, you realize how much different information is out there. It’s like owning a business. Once you start starting to learn how to run a business, you start learning how much information is out there and you don’t know where to get the information from or who to trust or anything like that. And it just gets super confusing. Is there an ideal breed of dog you’d recommend for somebody? If they’re out there and they’re going, I haven’t bought a dog yet, but I want to. You know, somebody who’s maybe a little bit more proactive and they’re going, hey, I’m thinking about buying a dog. Is there a particular breed that has proven to be easier to train? Well, I would just match it based on your personality. So if you’re, I mean, when in doubt, a golden retriever is like the one because it’s super happy, it’s super loyal, it’ll love you, it gets along with everyone, it gets along with dogs. Really? Oh yeah, golden retrievers are the best. They’re great. So if you had to recommend a dog out the gate, you say, I’ve never had a dog before. Yeah, why? Go get a Golden Retriever, buddy. Yeah, Golden Retriever. Just, I mean, you’re going to get, I would get not one from working lines. So what that means is working lines means they do duck hunting and stuff. So they’re like parents do duck hunting. So they’re bred to have a ton of energy. So if you are an energetic person, you want to go on runs or do other stuff with the dog, then sure, do that. But if you live in an apartment and your dog’s going to be home for eight hours a day, I would not get a super energetic dog. So you can get a dog based on your personality and what you like to do. So if you’re going to lay around all day and do nothing, maybe a bulldog is for you or a Kangal or a cardboard cutout of a dog. Yeah. Yeah, you can do that. But you just want to match it based on your personality. So if you’re going to have to have the dog in the home all day, you need to get a dog that’s okay with laying around. But you can’t have a dog like Achilles, who’s a Belgian Malinois, because you keep that dog cooped up, you’re gonna come home, everything’s gonna be destroyed, it’s gonna be rough, the dogs gonna hate his life, you’re gonna hate your life, it’s gonna be awful. Can you teach an old dog new tricks? Absolutely. I’ve trained multiple 13 year old dogs. Wow. And we can train another question people have is, well, I have multiple dogs in the house, do I have to train all of them or can I just train one? I trained a Golan, not a Golan Retriever, a German Shepherd named Sabine. They had six German Shepherds in their house and Sabine was the middle one, the middle child. Sabine was already six and now Sabine’s the best. So they’re super happy. The other dogs thinking about going through training, but they got the problem child under control so now all the other dogs are doing better. So, great. Well, I’ll tell you what, folks. I can’t speak highly enough about J.T. Lawson, his commitment to excellence, the dog training skill set that he provides, the attention to detail, the care for the dogs. But really, at the end of the day, what I’m saying to you does not matter unless you experience it yourself.

Hey guys, Luke Erickson here with the Thrive Time Show. As you can see behind me, we’ve got all kinds of energy going on. People are starting to show up for the conference and it is hot in this place. We’ve got grill guns over here, we’ve got people playing the drums, we’ve got a fire breather, and man, people are so excited as they come in. Gentlemen, let me introduce you to the grill gun. Hi, I’m Bob Healy. I’m the inventor of the grill gun and the civi gun. Tim Tebow is coming to Tulsa, Oklahoma June 27th and 28th. We’ve been doing business conferences here since 2005. I’ve been hosting business conferences since 2005. And a lot of people have followed Tim Tebow’s football career on the field and off the field. And off the field, the guy’s been just as successful as he has been on the field. Now, the big question is, JT, how does he do it? Well, they’re going to have to come and find out, because I don’t know. Well, I’m just saying, Tim Tebow’s going to teach us how he organizes his day, how he organizes his life, how he’s proactive with his faith, his family, his finances. He’s going to walk us through his mindset that he brings into the gym, into business. It is going to be a blasty blast at Tulsa Ruslim. Also, this is the first Thrive Time Show event that we’ve had where we’re going to have a man who has built a $100 million net worth in some like real estate sort of things. But this is the first time we’ve had a guy who’s built a service business and he’s built over a hundred million dollar net worth in the service business. It’s the yacht driving, multi-state living guru of franchising. Peter Taunton will be in the house. This is the founder of Snap Fitness, the guy behind nine round boxing. He’s going to be here in Tulsa, Russel, Oklahoma, June 27th and 28th. JT, why should everybody want to hear what Peter Taunton has to say? Oh, because he’s incredible. He’s just a fountain of knowledge. He is awesome. He has inspired me listening to him talk. And not only that, he also has he practices what he teaches, so he’s a real teacher. He’s not a fake teacher like business school teachers. So you’ve got to come learn from them. And now the best-selling author of The Carnivore Diet and the multiple-time Joe Rogan guest, Dr. Sean Baker, joins our two-day interactive business growth and life optimization workshop. Also, let me tell you this, folks. I don’t want to get this wrong, because if I get it wrong, someone’s going to say, you screwed that up, buddy. So Michael Levine, this is Michael Levine.

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. Clay Clark 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.

We own it. 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. And I encourage you to not believe what I’m saying, but 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 going to be the best business workshop ever, and we’re going to 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. Well, good news, the tickets are $250 or whatever price that you can afford. What? Yes, they’re $250 or whatever price you can afford. I grew up without money and I know what it’s like to live without money. So if you’re out there today and you want to attend our in-person two-day interactive business workshop, all you got to do is go to thrivetimeshow.com to request those tickets. And if you can’t afford $250, we have scholarship pricing available to make it affordable for you. I learned at the Academy at Kings Point in New York, octa nonverba. Watch what a person does, not what they say. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Harvard Keosak University Radio Show. Today, I’m broadcasting from Phoenix, Arizona, not Scottsdale, Arizona. They’re closed, 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, 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’s my age, and I can say or cannot say? 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 want 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. 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, at King’s Point in New York, acta non verba, watch what a person does, not what they say. Whoa! Hey, I’m Ryan Wimpey, I’m originally from Tulsa, born and raised here. I went to a small private liberal arts college and got a degree in business, and I didn’t learn anything like they’re teaching here. I didn’t learn linear workflows. I learned stuff that I’m not using and I haven’t been using for the last nine years. So what they’re teaching here is actually way better than what I got at business school. And I went what was actually ranked as a very good business school. The linear workflow, the linear workflow for us in getting everything out on paper and documented is really important. We have workflows that are kind of all over the place, so having linear workflow and seeing that mapped out on multiple different boards is pretty awesome. That’s really helpful for me. The atmosphere here is awesome. I definitely just stared at the walls figuring out how to make my facility look like this place. This place rocks. It’s invigorating. The walls are super…it’s just very cool. The atmosphere is cool, the people are nice, it’s a pretty cool place to be. Very good learning atmosphere. I literally want to model it and steal everything that’s here at this facility and basically create it just on our business side. Once I saw what they were doing, I knew I had to get here at the conference. This is probably the best conference or seminar I’ve ever been to in over 30 years in business. You’re not bored, you’re awake, you’re alive the whole time, it’s not pushy, they don’t try to sell you a bunch of things. I was looking to learn how to just get control of my life, my schedule, and just get control of the business. Planning your time, breaking it all down, making time for the F6 in your life, and just really implementing it and sticking with the program. It’s really lively, they’re pretty friendly, helpful, and very welcoming. I attended a conference a couple months back, and it was really the best business conference I’ve ever attended. At the workshop I learned a lot about time management, really prioritizing what’s the most important. The biggest takeaways are, you know, you want to take a step-by-step approach to your business. Whether it’s marketing, you know, what are those three marketing tools that you want to use, to human resources. Some of the most successful people and successful businesses in this town, their owners were here today because they wanted to know more from Clay. And I found that to be kind of fascinating. The most valuable thing that I’ve learned is diligence. That businesses don’t change overnight. It takes time and effort and you’ve got to go through the ups and downs of getting it to where you want to go. He actually gives you the road map out. I was stuck, didn’t know what to do, and he gave me the road map out step by step. He’s set up systems in the business that make my life much easier, allow me some time freedom. Here you can ask any question you want, they guarantee it will be answered. This conference like motivates me and also give me a lot of knowledge and tools. It’s up to you to do it. Everybody can do these things. There’s stuff that everybody knows, but if you don’t do it, nobody else can do it for you. I can see the marketing working, and it’s just an approach that makes sense. Probably the most notable thing is just the income increase that we’ve had. It’s everyone’s super fun, it’s super motivating. I’ve been here before, but I’m back again because it motivates me. Your competition’s going to come eventually or try to pick up these tactics. So you better, if you don’t, somebody else will. I’m Rachel with Tip Top K9 and we just want to give a huge thank you to Clay and Vanessa Clark. Hey guys, I’m Ryan with Tip Top K9. Just want to say a big thank you to Thrive 15. Thank you to Make Your Life Epic. We love you guys, we appreciate you, and really just appreciate how far you’ve taken us. This is our old house. This is where we used to live a few years ago. This is our old neighborhood. See? It’s nice, right? So this is my old van and our old school marketing and this is our old team. And by team I mean it’s me and another guy. This is our new house with our new neighborhood. This is our new van with our new marketing, and this is our new team. We went from four to fourteen, and I took this beautiful photo. We worked with several different business coaches in the past, and they were all about helping Ryan sell better and just teaching sales, which is awesome, but Ryan is a really great salesman. So we didn’t need that. We needed somebody to help us get everything that was in his head out into systems, into manuals and scripts, and actually build a team. So now that we have systems in place, we’ve gone from one to 10 locations in only a year. In October 2016, we grossed 13 grand for the whole month. Right now it’s 2018, the month of October. It’s only the 22nd. We’ve already grossed a little over 50 grand for the whole month and we still have time to go We’re just thankful for you thankful for thriving your mentorship And we’re really thankful that you guys have helped us to grow a business that we run now instead of the business running us Just thank you. Thank you. Thank you times a thousand So we really just want to thank you clay and thank you Vanessa for everything you’ve done everything you’ve helped us with we love you guys If you decide to not attend the ThriveCon workshop, you’re missing out on a great opportunity. The Atmosphere plays office is very lively. You can feel the energy as soon as you walk through the door. If you decide not to come, you’re missing out on an opportunity to grow your business, bottom line. Love the environment. I love the way that Clay presents and teaches. It’s a way that not only allows me to comprehend what’s going on, but he explains it in a way to where it just makes sense. The SEO optimization, branding, marketing, I’ve learned more in the last two days than I have the entire four years of college. The most valuable thing that I’ve learned, marketing is key, marketing is everything. Making sure that you’re branded accurately and clearly. How to grow a business using Google reviews and then just how to optimize our name through our website also. Helpful with a lot of marketing, search engine optimization, helping us really rank high in Google. The biggest thing I needed to learn was how to build my foundation, how to systemize everything, optimize everything, build my SEO. How to become more organized, more efficient. How to make sure the business is really there to serve me, as opposed to me constantly being there for the business. New ways of advertising my business as well as recruiting new employees. Group interviews, number one. Before we felt like we were held hostage by our employees. Group interviews has completely eliminated that because you’re able to really find the people that would really be the best fit. Hands-on how to hire people, how to deal with human resources, a lot about marketing and overall just how to structure the business, how it works for me, and also then how that can translate into working better for my clients. The most valuable thing I’ve learned here is time management. I like the one hour of doing your business is real critical if I’m going to grow and change. Play really teaches you how to navigate through those things and not only find freedom, but find your purpose in your business and find the purpose for all those other people that directly affect your business as well. Everybody, everybody, everyone, everyone needs to attend the conference because you get opportunity to see that it’s real. Hey, Flyover family, come join us June the 27th and 28th, 2024 in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Before politics and the great reset came into Clay’s life, he had the number one rated Apple podcast and he interviewed people like Anthony Robbins, Seth Godin, the top authors, the top business minds in the world. At this specific event, there was an interesting cast of characters that come from gangs to American Idol. Some of the guests that are going to be there, Michael Levine, Colton Dixon, Peter Taunton, John Lee Dumas, Mondo De La Viga. And Tim Scevo.

People are starting to show up for the conference and it is hot in this place. We’ve got grill guns over here, we’ve got people playing the drums, we’ve got a fire And man, people are so excited as they come in. Woo! Woo! Woo! I’m Michael Levy, writer of many, many PR books, the man who represented people like Michael Jackson, Arbor Streisand, George Bush, and anybody who is speaking to people here at our conference, talking about branding. One of the greatest branding experts alive today is here at our conference talking to entrepreneurs. We just wrapped up day one, it was incredible. We had some remarkable speakers, Michael Levine. We just finished with a lady named Jill Donovan who owns a company called Rustic Cuff, talking about the power of the Dream 100. I cannot wait to see what tomorrow holds. It’s a Thrive Time show, so don’t go to sleep. Don’t turn, that’s right, you must make it. Come on in. Hey guys, Luke Erickson with the Thrive Time show here with you. It is day two and the energy is high. People are so excited to be showing up. The team is ready. Come on, let’s see what it’s like to go on in for day two. Follow me. Woo! I’ll tell you what, people are so excited to be here for day two. It is going to be incredible. Cannot wait to see what today has in store. Right now, here at the conference, we’ve broken into groups going over search engine optimization. I know for most of us, myself included, if you hear that term, you go, what is that? What does that mean? That’s too techy for me. Well, our experts are breaking it down for people so that you can clearly understand how to come up top in Google. It’s doable. It’s possible. Now we’re in the middle of a break, and what we like to do is we like to give you as much tangible and relevant information from about the start of the hour for 45 minutes. Then we take approximately a 15-minute break to allow people to connect with other entrepreneurs around them. Bathroom break. And also use this time to just really digest all of the good information that you’re receiving the whole time. Right behind me we’ve got Bob with his drill gun melting an ice sculpture. It is awesome. The ice sculpture represents our life, right? It’s here for a time, but we all need to have the sense of urgency to implement the things that we’re learning so that we can make the most of the time that we have. We are outside, you can see a line behind me. What’s going on is that we partner with different companies to help them give samples to other people as they come to the conference and truly get their name out. And I just wanted to recap some of the amazing things that have happened today. We’ve had entrepreneurs like Paul Hood, the good CPAs. We’ve had Jill Donovan and Michael Levine come up and just impart so much wisdom and knowledge. We’ve got an incredible giveaway for one of our TV’s. Hey there Thrive Nation. One of the things that we love most about our business conferences is that we want every entrepreneur to leave with their questions answered. So what we do is we let them put the questions up on the board here so that they can ask their specific questions and Clay will not end the conference until every question is answered. Behind this Clay Kolarg is answering all the different questions that on-call are brought to the conference. Whenever someone comes here and starts to hear this information, especially for the first time, it just brings about so much anticipation of wanting to actually implement the proven systems and processes. And so the play always wants to make sure that it answers all of their questions, and that they’re the most set up to be able to go home and start implementing. If you have any questions, email us at info at ThriveTimeShare.com. Hello, I’m Wes Carter. I’m one of the shareholders at Winters and Keen. My favorite thing that Thrive has helped me accomplish here in our firm is thinking a little bit outside the box. They do SEO, they do printing, they help us with a lot of things from the day-to-day marketing for the firm, but they also help us think of things that as attorneys we probably wouldn’t normally think of that help us market our services to our clients. One of the things I love about working with Thrive is that they make it enjoyable to actually do work with them. It’s not dry, it’s usually fun, but it’s always very enjoyable and practical. They give me things and ideas that I can put into place. It’s not just some theoretical spiel that they give me. We get practical steps that we work on together to do my job better. So me personally, I would easily recommend Thrive 15 services to my friends, my families. I’d recommend them to my clients. I think they do a good job. They’re passionate. They care about their clients. And I think it’s actually a valuable service they provide to people that are in the business world. My name is Jeff Thomas. I’m originally from Atlanta, Georgia. It’s all about getting to the grindstone. It is about putting the… It’s one thing to have a specific vision or a dream, but knowledge without application isn’t knowledge at all. That’s nothing. Really funny? The atmosphere is very lively. Everybody that is working for Clay is very upbeat and not tired, not sluggish, not complaining, not whining. They don’t have anything to do with those types of characteristics. It’s all about getting to the grind and having fun while you do it. I haven’t actually been to any conferences in the past, but what I will say from what I’ve seen on YouTube and what from other friends have told me is this isn’t like a motivational kind of thing to just, you know, hoo-hoo, rah-rah, get you motivated, but it’s like practical steps that if you do take them, which most people aren’t willing to do Then you will grow and you will you’ll achieve the specific things that you want Well for one thing I will say that this isn’t necessarily for everyone So if you’re not willing to work this isn’t for you But I will say that if you are willing to work and you you know You’re just getting started, but you have actually taken a step to in that direction Then this will actually help you grow further exponentially than you could ever imagine. My name is Taylor Hall. I’m the general manager of the Tulsa Oilers professional hockey team. Our goal every night here at the BOK Center is to try to fill the seats with lots of people environment so when somebody comes to a game they want to come back. Working with Clay and the staff at Thrive, they’ve really helped us in many, many ways. Website and graphic design and video production and a lot of things that go along. And a lot of businesses, including ours, doesn’t have a staff or a full-time videographer or graphic designer. But the biggest thing that we noticed was the needle mover. More sales, more attendance, more successes in business. We had a record year last season working with Clay for the first time. Our average attendance is higher than it’s ever been. So there was a lot of really cool things that we did, and they worked. That’s the nice thing about working with Clay and the team over there. It’s just not one person. You get the entire team. If you need video design and editing and production, they’ve got that. If you need graphic design, if you need some coaching, your sales people and call scripts, PR, they offer all that. Clay was instrumental in helping guiding us and getting us on the right track so that we could really raise the bar and become ultra successful. So it’s been an amazing experience. My name is Kaitlin. I own a tumbling gym called Justice Tumbling Company. Working with Clay is so helpful. He’s diligent with everything and making sure we execute our goals and really make things happen. It’s fun, it’s high, it really gets you energized and going. It makes you really want to work. to get the momentum going, to really get that buzz, to really give you the energy to get up and make it happen. I’m Bob Healy. I’m in the charcoal grilling industry and the name of my business is Grillblazer. How will I apply what I’ve learned so far into my business? I’m actually a client of the Fry 15 and I learned so much from what I’m learning at this conference and my regular weekly attendance that it’s helping me establish the business and get it off the ground. Clay’s presentation style is just blatant disregard for what anybody wants. He just has fun, it’s him, everything that you see is authentically Clay. It’s a great deal of fun, everybody enjoys it. They know when they walk in they think they’re coming into a carnival and frankly they are. It’s just great fun. There’s not another conference like it. You don’t go to a carnival atmosphere and learn what to do here at a Thrive conference. It’s great. The reason people should attend at least one of these conferences is because it’s common sense. And everybody’s fed on the entire line about the way you should run a business, which is, candidly, what you learn here, how to run a business. You don’t know what you’re doing. My name is Tyler Hastings, and this is my wife, Rachel, and our company is Delricht Research out of New Orleans. During our time working with Thrive, we’ve had numerous successes. When we first started, we were working with one physician, we had one research site, and we were seeing on average between 10 and 15 patients a week. Since working with Thrive in the last 18 months, we now have four research sites. We work with over five physicians, and on average we’re now seeing over 60 patients per week. Recently, we’ve been the top enroller worldwide in seven studies, which is just incredible considering where we were two years ago, 18 months ago. Thrive really differs from the other conferences that we’ve been to and the other kind of programs that we’ve been through because they actually really practice what they preach and they implement the same systems and the processes that they teach you about and they give you real life examples that really work for them and show you with the training how to implement that yourself. For example, Tyler and I actually got the opportunity to come out to Tulsa and we’re fortunate enough that the Thrive team took us out to some of the businesses that they own and we really got to see in real life, real-time, some of the systems and processes and it was just incredible. A real-life example of some of the businesses and the things that they’re implementing. Having a coach is important to us. They act as not only an accountability factor but they’re someone we can talk to on a daily basis as we go through the problems of running a business that inevitably come up. They always understand what we’re going through and they’re always there to help us or guide us through the problems that we experience. The best part of our experience working with Thrive has just been seeing our relationship grow. So at each step as our business grows, you know, they have something else to provide us with. I program, I would highly recommend that they call in for a free 30-minute coaching session and see exactly what the team can do for you. Just speak with someone, let them know what you’re going through, and I think you’ll find that regardless of what you need, there’s someone there that can help you. Clay’s presentation style is very real and raw. It just gets real down to the bone of it and the real purpose of it. There’s no, like, fluffy vagueness about it, you know? So, he really gets to the point. I’m always reminded about how important it is to be intentional and to really pay attention to how you schedule your time and really honor it. Because whatever gets scheduled gets done. That’s what he said from Lee Copperill. So, just constantly hearing that and getting reminded helps me to reinforce that in my own life. It always helps to get an outside perspective. And especially from a guy that’s run so many multi-million dollar businesses. It doesn’t hurt. My name is Nick Guajardo. I heard about the Thrive Time Show workshop through Andy Matheran. He’s my, Andy Matheran and Larry Montgomery, they’re my bosses at Restore Home Health. So I work with a home health company called Restore Home Health and my role is pretty much to bring in business. So I was hoping to learn kind of the sales process on top of just kind of the responsibilities and help understand what it looks like on the SEO side and just kind of an all-around what it looks like to own a business because that’s something I want to do in the future for sure. How I would describe the atmosphere here at Thrive is high energy, great professionalism, great people. It’s just, it’s a place you definitely want to visit and be at. Plays delivery style, humorous, professional, hilarious. Just, he does it, I haven’t seen someone do it better. So he does a great job. Most valuable thing I’ve learned so far? A lot of it has been extremely valuable. So, but one thing that’s always really stuck out to me is learning the SEO stuff. I mean that is, I think, things you don’t really even think about and then you hear it and you think you know it but you don’t know it. So I feel like that was the most valuable. Well, they’re missing out on just coming down to just basic applications to be a business owner. I mean, I feel like it’s like an absolute necessity, you know, to come here and learn the ins and outs and maybe come here once or twice if they, you know, take good notes, that kind of thing. Why? To just, it’s the experience here and what you can learn, like absolutely. So, marketing and SEO seemed like something that would be very scary, but then in the way that Clay and his team described it, became very clear and concise, and something that’s very accessible to any business owner. I’ve learned a lot about marketing at this conference, and a lot about business management and HR. Really, everything, the key components of anybody’s business, they’re going to give you the best tools to be successful at it. So most workshops or conferences can be really boring, really one note, or they just seem so theatrical that it’s a joke, and it’s not even giving you tools that you need or that you came there for. But here it’s still high energy, it’s still fun, everything’s to the point, but it’s very professional and yeah, you’re missing out on easy steps to use in your business that are very accessible and very clear. My name is Abigail McCarter. The best thing I’ve learned so far is definitely like organization, schedule wise, always keeping a to-do list, keeping your calendar organized. I’m kind of all over the place, so that’s always good to know. So Clay’s presentation style and the atmosphere is electric. It’s so energetic. It’s so fun. plays hilarious but also knows a ton so it’s just really great all around. This conference is much different than any other conference I’ve gone to again because it’s fun. A lot of other conferences it’s like really quiet, really cold and you just kind of get bored but this one you’re like always engaged, you’re always learning something and the staff is amazing, they’re always super helpful so it’s just been really great. My name’s Clint Howard. We’re a personal training and fitness training facility. Oh, wow, I’m learning a ton. Like, this morning so far, there’s been search engine optimization. So really just the importance of being at the top of Google, how Google works, and why it’s so important to go out and get video reviews and testimonials and getting Google reviews. And so all those things we can take back and really apply that like immediately. So it’s really cool to see not only how to do it, but really the relevance and importance of it in the long-term strategy of your business. Now, it’s amazing actually the way this morning and yesterday I was videoing as I was walking in the front entrance. And actually me, I go to a lot of seminars, I go to a lot of conferences, massive ones. I’ve been doing that since I was like 22 years old, so I got to almost 20 years now. And this is by far the most entertaining, not only the content, their content’s amazing, but Clay and you guys do a great job of mixing in edumatase entertainment where it’s fun, it’s fresh, it’s lively, you never get bored. And I heard a study one time that the reason that children learn so much quicker is because it’s fun, learning is fun, so obviously play is nailed after. It’s very fun to be here and it keeps you awake, keeps you energized. So I’m having a blast. Yeah, I think any business owner or someone that wants to own a business or considering owning and starting a business should definitely come. I know that I was referred here by friends of mine and clients of mine and I’ve referred other people. Again, just to understand what it takes to make a business or that wants to start a business. My name is Jamie Fagel. I’m with Jameson Fine Cabinetry. I heard about the conference through Andrew. He’s the coach that I deal with here at Thrive. The most valuable piece I found even working with Andrew, but it’s been solidified when it came here, was you’ve got to actually do the things that they’re telling you. I think it’s the ability to be able to do the things that you’re told to do. I think it’s the ability to be able to do the things that you’re told to do. I think it’s the ability to be able to do the things that you’re told to do. I think it’s been solidified when it came here was you got to actually do the things that they’re telling you with no action you’re not going to get anything from it I would highly recommend this to almost anybody in business today I have recommended to some of my other business partners it’s phenomenal it’s really something that if you want to start a business the old way of doing things is gone this is what you got to do it’s the only way it’ll work hey this is Charles and Amber Kola we’re the owners of Kola Fitness. The way we’re able to do that is working with Clay for the last three years. He has really readjusted our thinking and taught us that our business is here to serve us. And by doing that, we’re able to live the lifestyle we want and take off on a random vacation last minute. So we had totally planned on being at the conference. So wish we could be there and meet all of you. We know you’re having a great time. So, thank you. Yes, Clay in the last three years has helped us build all the necessary systems, checklists, workflows, task lists, time blocks, audits that are always running and the right capable lieutenants to keep track of all that, so that you too can get time freedom, financial freedom. And that’s what we have done and Clay has helped us do, we’ve got multiple companies in multiple states and they’re all doing very well getting ready to go to more locations in this next year and Co-op Hittin’ is a really big future. We’re teaming up with a couple other groups and we should scale the company here shortly. Hopefully we’ll open like 50 locations in the next 10 years. So but yeah we’re on the way we’re gonna probably more than double our company, maybe triple our company in the next eight to nine months and it’s just awesome. God is working in our business and we’re making Jesus and changing lives. We’re a strong Christian company that focuses on making Jesus famous and changing lives in the fitness field and this is Charles and Amber Cola. Thank you Thrive. Hit your action items. We love you guys. We wish you were there. You guys have a wonderful day. Bye-bye. My name is Jennifer Johnson. I’m in the pest control industry and also weed control and fertilization and my business is Platinum Pest and Lawn. Some of the things that, uh, I’ll be able to apply a lot of the things that I’ve learned in our business because this is not my first conference, and so a lot of the things that we learned we’ve put into place, and now we’re doing the next level of refining the processes for, just a different concept, and so it’s getting better and better. Things that were just big processes before, we have the foundation laid, and now we’re able to make it better and better. And I’m hearing different things now that we’ve implemented things and so we can just make it even better, implement it in our own business. Clay’s presentation in the atmosphere is very exciting and fun. It keeps you awake. It makes it interesting. You have a lot of information, but if it’s not going to be entertaining, your brain is going to tune it out. But Play makes it just entertaining enough that you retain what you learn. Lots of rhyming and catchy things so that you remember stuff. What makes this conference different than other workshops or conferences that I’ve been to is that there’s a lot of people here in my same situation. Most of us are pretty small businesses wanting to improve, and we want real life information and something that will work and that’s attainable and not just some crazy magic formula but actual action items that we can implement in our business and actually see a difference. Everyone should attend a 5-type business conference, whether you’re a business owner, it has practical applications that you can apply to so many different parts of your business. And then you need to come back for more so that you can keep doing more of the wonderful things that you learn. But secondly, I am also a mom of three kids and a lot of the concepts can actually be applied to home, like getting routines and getting, setting systems at home has just seriously made a huge difference in my life at home. So I’ve been able to improve our business, but I’ve also been able to improve things at home. And so that’s why everyone should come, no matter what your station is in life. My name is Nolan Q. I’m originally from San Francisco, California. The industry that I’m in is financial services. I’ve learned a ton so far, but what I can best apply from this conference is the opportunity, that hunger to go out there and make a big difference in my district. The presentation style is amazing. You’ve got an endless amount of energy. It’s contagious. And yeah, by being here, I really do want to go back and be able to face all the adversity that the industry has. Yeah, this conference, the thing that makes it different is that it’s special because it has a unique set of individuals that all share that same energy. I think he picked it as a dragon energy, but yeah, that’s what we do. Everyone should come to a multiple, but their first would be very special. Yeah, you’re welcome with a lot of enthusiasm. That’ll last for a long time. My name is Gabriela Cruz. Our business is PCS Electric. My husband’s the owner, but I’m involved with that, and so we’re a lucky company. Well, here at the conference, they talk a lot about consistency, and so just staying consistent with different things in the business, and I feel like applying that to our business model will really help us grow. The atmosphere is very positive, uplifting, and then it’s very fun and energetic, and It gets you pumped and it gets you excited and it encourages you to do big things. Probably how real they are. They tell you up front what you need to do and what’s like a no-go. And some conferences are, they kind of trigger code things. So I like how real they are here. I think it will definitely, if you want your business to grow, I think this will be a great experience. And then not only that, it will encourage you and inform you on so many things you don’t think about on a daily basis. Hey, I’m Ryan Wimpey. I’m originally from Tulsa, born and raised here. I’ve definitely learned a lot about life design and making sure the business serves you. The linear workflow, the linear workflow for us and getting everything out on paper and documented is really important. We have workflows that are kind of all over the place. So having linear workflow and seeing that mapped out on multiple different boards, it’s pretty awesome. That’s really helpful for me. The atmosphere here is awesome. I definitely just stared at the walls figuring out how to make my facility look like this place. This place rocks. It’s invigorating. The walls are super. It’s just very cool. The atmosphere is cool. The people are nice. It’s a pretty cool place to be. Very good learning atmosphere. I literally want to model it and steal everything that’s here at this facility and basically create it just on our business side. Play is hilarious. I literally laughed so hard that I started having tears yesterday. And we’ve been learning a lot, which we’ve been sitting here, we’ve been learning a lot. And so the humor definitely helps. It breaks it up. But the content is awesome, off the charts, and it’s very interactive. You can raise your hand. It’s not like you’re just listening to the professor speak. The wizard teaches, but the wizard interacts and he takes questions, so that’s awesome. If you’re not attending the conference, you’re missing about three quarters to half of your life. Definitely, it’s probably worth a couple thousand dollars. So you’re missing the thought process of someone that’s already started like nine profitable businesses. So not only is it a lot of good information but just getting in the thought process of Clay Clark or Dr. Zellner or any of the other coaches, getting in that thought process of how they’re starting all these businesses, to me just that is priceless. That’s money. Well we’re definitely not getting upsold here. My wife and I have attended conferences where they upsold, where it was great information and then they upsold us like half the conference. And I want to like bang my head into a wall. And she’s like banging her head into the chair in front of her. Like it’s good information, but we’re like, oh my gosh, I want to strangle you. Shut up and go with the presentation that we paid for. And that’s not here. There’s no upsells or anything, so that’s awesome. I hate that. Oh, it makes me angry. So, glad that’s not happening. So the cost of this conference is quite a bit cheaper than business college. I went to a small private liberal arts college and got a degree in business. And I didn’t learn anything like they’re teaching here. I didn’t learn linear workflows. I learned stuff that I’m not using, and I haven’t been using for the last nine years. So what they’re teaching here is actually way better than what I got at business school. And I went what was actually ranked as a very good business school. I would definitely recommend that people would check out the Thrive 15 conference. The information that you’re gonna get is just very, very beneficial. And the mindset that you’re gonna get, that you’re gonna leave with, is just absolutely worth the price of a little bit of money and a few days worth of your time. I’m Rachel with Tip Top Keynight, and we just wanna give a huge thank you to Clay and Vanessa Clark. Hey guys, I’m Ryan with Tip Top K9. Just want to say a big thank you to Thrive 15. Thank you to Make Your Life Epic. We love you guys, we appreciate you and really just appreciate how far you’ve taken us. This is our old house. Right, this is where we used to live years ago. This is our old neighborhood. See, it’s nice, right? So this is my old van and our old school marketing, and this is our old team. And by team, I mean it’s me and another guy. This is our new house with our new neighborhood. This is our new van with our new marketing, and this is our new team. We went from four to 14, and I took this beautiful photo. We worked with several different business coaches in the past. And they were all about helping Ryan sell better and just teaching sales, which is awesome. But Ryan is a really great salesman. So we didn’t need that. We needed somebody to help us get everything that was in his head out into systems, into manuals, and scripts, and actually build a team. So now that we have systems in place, we’ve gone from one to 10 locations in only a year. In October 2016, we grossed 13 grand for the whole month. Right now it’s 2018, the month of October. It’s only the 22nd, we’ve already grossed a little over 50 grand for the whole month and we still have time to go. We’re just thankful for you, thankful for Thrive and your mentorship and we’re really thankful that you guys have helped us to grow a business that we run now instead of the business running us. Just thank you, thank you, thank you, times a thousand. So we really just want to thank you, Clay, and thank you, Vanessa, for everything you’ve done, everything you’ve helped us with. We love you guys. Hello, my name is Charles Colaw with Colaw Fitness. Today I want to tell you a little bit about Clay Clark and how I know Clay Clark. Clay Clark has been my business coach since 2017. He’s helped us grow from two locations to now six locations. We’re planning to do seven locations in seven years and then franchise. Clay has done a great job of helping us navigate anything that has to do with running the business, building the systems, the checklists, the workflows, the audits, how to navigate lease agreements, how to buy property, how to work with brokers and builders. This guy is just amazing. This kind of guy has worked in every single industry. He’s written books with like Lee Crocker, or Head of Disney with the 40,000 cast members. He’s friends with like Mike Lindell. He does Reawaken America tours where he does these tours all across the country where 10,000 or more people show up to some of these tours. On the day-to-day, he does anywhere from about 160 companies. He’s at the top. He has a team of business coaches, videographers, and graphic designers, and web developers, and they run a hundred and sixty companies every single week. So think of this guy with a team of business coaches running a hundred and sixty companies. So in the weekly he’s running a hundred and sixty companies. Every six to eight weeks he’s doing reawaken America tours. Every six to eight weeks he’s also doing business conferences where 200 people show up and he teaches people a 13-step proven system that he’s done and worked with billionaires helping them grow their companies. So I’ve seen guys from start ups go from start ups to being multi millionaires, teaching people how to get time freedom and financial freedom through the system. Critical thinking, document creation, making it, putting it into, organizing everything in their head to building it into a franchisable, scalable business. One of his businesses has like 500 franchises, that’s just one of the companies or brands that he works with, so amazing guy. Elon Musk, kind of like smart guy. He kind of comes off sometimes as socially awkward, but he’s so brilliant and he’s taught me so much. When I say that, like Clay is like, he doesn’t care what people think when you’re talking to him. He cares about where you’re going in your life and where he can get you to go. And that’s what I like him most about him. He’s like a good coach. A coach isn’t just making you feel good all the time. A coach is actually helping you get to the best of you. Clay has been an amazing business coach. Through the course of that, we became friends. My most impressive thing was when I was shadowing him one time. We went into a business deal and listened to it. I got to shadow and listen to it. When we walked out, I knew that he could make millions on the deal. They were super excited about working with him and he told me he’s like I’m not going to touch it I’m going to turn it down because he knew it was going to harm the common good of people in the long run and the guy’s integrity just really wowed me it brought tears to my eyes to see that this guy his he doesn’t his highest desire was to do what’s right and anyways just just just an amazing man so anyways impacted me a lot he’s helped navigate anytime I’ve got nervous or worried about how to run the company or you know navigating competition and an economy that’s like I remember we got closed down for three months. He helped us navigate on how to stay open, how to get back open, how to just survive through all the COVID shutdowns, lockdowns because our clubs were all closed for three months and you $150,000 of bills you’ve got to pay and we have no accounts receivable. He helped us navigate that and of course we were conservative enough that we could afford to take that on for a period of time. He was a great man. I’m very impressed with him. So Clay, thank you for everything you’re doing and I encourage you if you haven’t worked with Clay, work with Clay. He’s going to help magnify you and there’s nobody I have ever met that has the ability to work as hard as he does. He probably sleeps four, maybe six hours a day, and literally the rest of the time he’s working. And he can outwork everybody in the room every single day, and he loves it. So anyways, this is Charles Kola with Kola Fitness. Thank you, Clay, and anybody out there that’s wanting to work with Clay, it’s a great, great opportunity to ever work with him. So you guys have a blessed one. This is Charles Kola. We’ll see you guys. Bye bye. Hi, I’m Aaron Antis with Shaw Homes. I first heard about Clay through a mortgage lender here in town who had told me what a great job he had been doing for them. I actually noticed he was driving a Lamborghini all of a sudden, so I was willing to listen. In my career, I’ve sold a little over $800 million in real estate. So honestly I thought I kind of knew everything about marketing and homes and then I met Clay and my perception of what I knew and what I could do definitely changed. After doing 800 million in sales over a 15 year career I really thought I knew what I was doing. I’ve been managing a large team of sales people for the last 10 years here with Shaw Homes. And I mean we’ve been a company that’s been in business for 35 years. We’ve become one of the largest builders in the Tulsa area and that was without Clay. So when I came to know Clay I really thought man there’s not much more I need to know but I’m willing to listen. The interesting thing is our internet leads from our website has actually, in a four month period of time, has gone from somewhere around 10 to 15 leads in a month to 180 internet leads in a month. Just from the few things that he’s shown us how to implement that I honestly probably never would have come up with on my own. So I got a lot of good things to say about the system that Clay put in place with us and it’s just been an incredible experience. I am very glad that we met and had the opportunity to work with Clay. So the interaction with the team and with Clay on a weekly basis is honestly very enlightening. One of the things that I love about Clay’s perspective on things is that he doesn’t come from my industry. He’s not somebody who’s in the home building industry. I’ve listened to all the experts in my field. Our company has paid for me to go to seminars, international builder shows, all kinds of places where I’ve had the opportunity to learn from the experts in my industry. But the thing that I found working with Clay is that he comes from such a broad spectrum of working with so many different types of businesses that he has a perspective that’s difficult for me to gain because I get so entrenched in what I do, I’m not paying attention to what other leading industry experts are doing. And Clay really brings that perspective for me. It is very valuable time every week when I get that hour with him. From my perspective, the reason that any business owner who’s thinking about hooking up with Thrive needs to definitely consider it is because the results that we’ve gotten in a very short period of time are honestly monumental. It has really exceeded my wildest expectation of what he might be able to do. I came in skeptical because I’m very pragmatic and as I’ve gone through the process over just a few months, I’ve realized it’s probably one of the best moves we’ve ever made. I think a lot of people probably feel like they don’t need a business or marketing consultant because they maybe are a little bit prideful and like to think they know everything. I know that’s how I felt coming in. I mean, we’re a big company that’s definitely one of the largest in town. And so we kind of felt like we knew what we were doing. And I think for a lot of people, they let their ego get in the way of listening to somebody that might have a better or different perspective than theirs. I would just really encourage you if you’re thinking about working with Clay. I mean, the thing is, it’s month to month. Go give it a try and see what happens. I think in the 35 year history of Shaw Homes, this is probably the best thing that’s happened to us. And I know if you give them a shot, I think you’ll feel the same way. I know for me, the thing I would have missed out on if I didn’t work with Clay is I would have missed out on literally an 1800% increase in our internet leads. Going from 10 a month to 180 a month, that would have been a huge financial decision to just decide not to give it a shot. I would absolutely recommend ClayClark to anybody who’s thinking about working with somebody in marketing. I would skip over anybody else you were thinking about and I would go straight to clay and his team I guarantee you’re not going to regret it because we sure haven’t My name is Danielle Sprick, and I am the founder of the Sprick Realty Group here in Tulsa, Oklahoma After being a stay-at-home mom for 12 years and my three kids started school, and they were in school full time. I was at a crossroads and trying to decide what do I want to do. My degree and my background is in education, but after being a mom and staying home and all of that, I just didn’t have a passion for it like I once did. My husband suggested real estate. He’s a home builder, so real estate and home building go hand in hand, and we just rolled with it. I love people, I love working with people, I love the building relationships, but one thing that was really difficult for me was the business side of things. The processes and the advertising and marketing, I knew that I did not have what I needed to make that what it should be. So I reached out to Clay at that time, and he and his team have been extremely instrumental in helping us build our brand, help market our business, our agents, the homes that we represent. Everything that we do is a direct line from Clay and his team and all that they’ve done for us. We launched our brokerage, our real estate brokerage, eight months ago. And in that time, we’ve gone from myself and one other agent to just this week we signed on our 16th agent. We have been blessed with the fact that we right now have just over 10 million in pending transactions. ago, I never would have even imagined that I would be in this role that I’m in today, building a business, having 16 agents. But I have to give credit where credit’s due. And Clay and his team, and the business coaching that they’ve offered us has been huge. It’s been instrumental in what we’re doing. Don’t ever limit your vision. When you dream big, big things happen. I started the business because I couldn’t work for anyone else. I do things my way. I do what I think is in the best interest of the patient. I don’t answer to insurance companies. I don’t answer to large corporate organizations. I answer to my patient and that’s it. My thought when I opened my clinic was I can do this all myself. I don’t need additional outside help in many ways. I mean I went to medical school, I can figure this out. But it was a very, very steep learning curve. Within the first six months of opening my clinic, I had a $63,000 embezzlement. I lost multiple employees. Clay helped us weather the storm of some of the things that are just a lot of people experience, especially in the medical world. He was instrumental in helping with the specific written business plan. He’s been instrumental in hiring good quality employees, using the processes that he outlines for getting in good talent, which is extremely difficult. He helped me in securing the business loans. He helped me with web development and search engine optimization. We’ve been able to really keep a steady stream of clients coming in because they found us on the web. With everything that I encountered, everything that I experienced, I quickly learned it is worth every penny to have someone in your team that can walk you through and even avoid some of the pitfalls that are almost invariable in starting your own business. I’m Dr. Chad Edwards and I own Revolution Health and Wellness Clinic. We’ve got Eric Andrus with Sean Williams up there. We’ve got Steve Curry, Timmy Tolle and the Concepts up there talking about what is possible when you just implement, you implement, you do the provenance. So exciting, people are going crazy. We just wrapped up day one. It was incredible. We had some remarkable speakers. Michael Levine. We just finished with a lady named Jill Donovan who owns a company called Rustic Cuff talking about the power of the Dream 100. I cannot wait to see what tomorrow holds. Hey guys, Luke Harrison with the Thrive Time Show here with you. It is day two and the energy is high. People are so excited to be showing up. The team is ready. Come on, let’s see what it’s like to go on in for day two. Follow me. I’ll tell you what, people are so excited to be here for day two. It is going to be incredible. Cannot wait to see what today has in store. Right now, here at the conference, we’ve broken into groups going over search engine optimization. I know for most of us, myself included, if you hear that term, you go, what is that? What does that mean? That’s too techy for me. Well, our experts are breaking it down for people so that you can clearly understand how to come up top in Google. It’s doable, it’s possible. Now we’re in the middle of a break, and what we like to do is we like to give you as much tangible and relevant information from about the start of the hour for 45 minutes. Then we take approximately a 15 minute break to allow people to connect with other entrepreneurs around them, bathroom break, and also use this time to just really digest all of the good information that you’re receiving the whole time. Right behind me we’ve got Bob with his drill gun melting an ice sculpture. It is awesome. The ice sculpture represents our life, right? It’s here for a time, but we all need to have the sense of urgency to implement the things that we’re learning so that we can make the most of the time that we have. We are outside, you can see a line behind me. What’s going on is that we partner with different companies to help them implement the proven systems over and over and over again. And one of those companies is Master Machine. And so what we like to do is partner with these companies to also help them give samples to other people as they come to the conference and truly get their name out. I just wanted to recap some of the amazing things that have happened today. We’ve had entrepreneurs like Paul Hood with Hook CPAs. We’ve had Jill Donovan and Michael Levine come up. It just imparts so much wisdom and knowledge. We’ve got an incredible giveaway for one of the things that we love most about our business conferences is that we want every entrepreneur to leave with their questions answered. So what we do is we let them put the questions up on the board here so that they can ask their specific questions and Clay will not end the conference until every question is answered. My name is Clay Kilargi and I’m answering all the different questions that entrepreneurs have brought to the conference. Whenever someone comes here and starts to hear this information, especially for the first time, it just brings about so much anticipation of wanting to actually implement the proven systems and processes. And so Clay always wants to make sure that he answers all of the questions so that they are the most set up to be able to go home and start implementing. If you have any questions, email us at info at Thrivetimeshow.com. We have come to the end of the 2019 Christmas Conference. It was incredible. These entrepreneurs have gotten so many tangible things that they can go and they can implement. Check us out for more information at thrivetimeshow.com. And as we always like to do, we want to end with a boom. Three, two, one, boom. Once I saw what they were doing, I knew I had to get here at the conference. This is probably the best conference or seminar I’ve ever been to in over 30 years of business. You’re not bored, you’re awake, alive the whole time. It’s not pushy, they don’t try to sell you a bunch of things. I was looking to learn how to just get control of my life, my schedule, and just get control of the business. Planning your time, breaking it all down, making time for the F6 in your life, and just really implementing it and sticking with the program. It’s really lively. He’s pretty friendly, helpful, and very welcoming. I attended a conference a couple months back, and it was really the best business conference I’ve ever attended. At the workshop I learned a lot about time management, really prioritizing what’s the most important. The biggest takeaways are you want to take a step-by-step approach to your business. Whether it’s marketing, what are those three marketing tools that you want to use, to human resources. Some of the most successful people and successful businesses in this town, their owners were here today because they wanted to know more from Clay and I found that to be kind of fascinating. The most valuable thing that I’ve learned is diligence. That businesses don’t change overnight. It takes time and effort and you’ve got to go through the ups and downs of getting it to where you want to go. He actually gives you the road map out. I was stuck, didn’t know what to do and he gave me the road map out step by step. We’ve set up systems in the business that make my life much easier, allow me some time freedom. Here you can ask any question you want, they guarantee it will be answered. This conference motivates me and also gives me a lot of knowledge and tools. It’s up to you to do this. Everybody can do these things, there’s stuff that everybody knows, but if you don’t do it, nobody else is going to do it for you. I can see the marketing working. And it’s just an approach that makes sense. Probably the most notable thing is just the income increase that we’ve had. Everyone’s super fun and super motivating. I’ve been here before, but I’m back again because it motivates me. Your competition’s going to come eventually or try to pick up these tactics. So you better, if you don’t, somebody else will. If you decide to not attend the Thrive Time Workshop, you’re missing out on a great opportunity. The Atmosphere Place office is very lively. You can feel the energy as soon as you walk through the door. And it really got me and my team very excited. If you decide not to come, you’re missing out on an opportunity to grow your business, bottom line. Love the environment. I love the way that Clay presents and teaches. It’s a way that not only allows me to comprehend what’s going on, but he explains it in a way to where it just makes sense. The SEO optimization, branding, marketing, I’ve learned more in the last two days than I have the entire four years of college. The most valuable thing that I’ve learned, marketing is key, marketing is everything. Making sure that you’re branded accurately and clearly. How to grow a business using Google reviews and then just how to optimize our name through our website also. Helpful with a lot of marketing, search engine optimization, helping us really rank high in Google. The biggest thing I needed to learn was how to build my foundation, how to systemize everything and optimize everything, build my SEO. How to become more organized, more efficient. How to make sure the business is really there to serve me, as opposed to me constantly being there for the business. New ways of advertising my business as well as recruiting new employees. Group interviews, number one. Before we felt like we were held hostage by our employees. Group interviews has completely eliminated that because you’re able to really find the people that would really be the best fit. human resources, a lot about marketing, and overall just how to structure the business, how it works for me, and also then how that can translate into working better for my clients. The most valuable thing I’ve learned here is time management. I like the one hour of doing your business. It’s real critical if I’m going to grow and change. Play really teaches you how to navigate through those things, and not only find freedom but find your purpose in your business and find the purposes for all those other people that directly affect your business as well. Everybody. Everybody. Everyone. Everyone. Everyone needs to attend the conference because you get an opportunity to see that it’s real.
