Final words.

Yeah, no, I just think that you're right, man.

You gotta be ready to change now, 'cause it...

Again, we're at the technology conference, and the things that I'm learning from people who are...

I have n- I don't know that I even have a desire to have a multimillion dollar lawn care company.

I, I've said that.

People have heard me say it plenty of times.

[laughs]

No.

But, like, and then also all of the different opportunities, that's been the theme here, is Naylor created something that provided us, the people who are here, and he's open to all, helping so many other people who are doing this in this space.

But he created something that gave us the opportunity to be here, and when I got here, I said, "What I'm not gonna do is not use the opportunity that Naylor has given me to go out and find other opportunities." And so when I came here, I was like, "I'm gonna make videos with this company, this company.

Uh, I'm gonna go around and to serve my audience, to find people who can give my audience advice, so how they can be successful from people who are actually in the game, or they're a company that is helping people that is in the game.

How can we use information to make ourselves better?" And then podcasting, right? When someone's out there on their lawnmower, for me, that's when my mind started to change.

That's when I started to really kinda understand life and where I wanted to go with it, and what vehicle I was gonna use to get there.

It happened to be lawn care at the beginning.

Vehicle

What, what has it meant to you?

It's been dope, man.

To get to talk...

I have to always say this.

I have one employee, uh, and I don't have a desire to have 30 employees, so I, I gotta just preface that off the cuff before we even get started so people understand where I'm coming from.

Uh, but I still believe that we should be doing things like how these big companies are doing.

We can emulate these things and put them in our own business.

Yeah.

My

kids go to a nice public school district.

There's food in the house.

The lights are on.

These are things that I didn't have whenever I was a kid.

So I felt like... marginally successful just by doing that.

But I wasn't seeing anything.

That's why social media is such a big deal, and our community and our events and everything about it is a huge deal, because we can connect with each other and learn from each other, vent a little bit with each other to get some of the stuff out of our system so we can recover and heal and get back to winning in life, follow the right roadmap to winning in life.

And I was

we we was wondering, I mean, the dude was like, you got to get the cameraman here.

We was like, huh? And then he had to go around to different locations to check.

He had this little like measuring stick to make sure that the grass was where it needed to be.

Then he went into a tent.

changed his clothes.

He went from a vest to a blazer.

The event within the event.

Hours, yeah.

And it's like, yeah, once I seen that, and then it, and then it actually started happeningBecause we just don't know what we don't know.

I've been doing this for 10 years- Yeah, we- ... and I was doing what I like to do because early on I had a bad experience doing a landscaping job when I had no experience.

Right.

Now I'm a 10-year vet, bro.

Yeah.

Right.

Chad?
