Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar

So Jane, it's National Dessert Day.

One of my favorite desserts is right there at Rancho Cucamonga, uh, at Lazy Dog, and it's the butter cake.

Oh.

And my sister makes a butter cake.

Yeah, it's so good.

Uh-huh.

So when I'm eating the butter cake at Lazy Dog, she watches my face.

Like-

Oh

... a Lazy Dog-

Oh

... which is a restaurant-

Yeah.

My buddies at Lazy Dog are so hyped.

Everyone's like, yo, we got to play.

We got to play, dude.

I'll just take mental notes or like.

a listener will bring up something again at like all these meetups that we go to at like Raising Cane's and Lazy Dog and stuff like that and they go oh you guys should really do this and then I'll just like take a mental note or just something that somebody really wants to go to also like stuff that involves the show like people like Morgan like the UFC thing I'm like okay well it'll be kind of cool to go to the UFC like we to be honest we're like we are kind of jaded we get to do cool stuff like all the time and what's really exciting is seeing other people excited yes you know and that's like the best part and I love it so being able to do that a lot of people say you know it is Menace's birthday month it's very it's very selfish but if you actually like look at the list it's not really that selfish there's a greater point to a lot of it a lot of stuff is like you know hey let's get on let's get in on this together Yeah.

So

let's go ahead and listen to it.

Now, you and I both know that if you're a widget maker, your company's a widget maker, you're a manufacturer, or you're a retail store or a restaurant or whatever kind of company you are, you might be really, really good at what you do, but you may not be good at cybersecurity.

You may not be good, even if you have an internal IT department, that doesn't make you an expert to be able to do this kind of thing that the government is saying you are now responsible to do, right? So I was explaining to you and Linda what was going on with this when we were sitting there at Lazy Dog Cafe, in fact, giving them a nice little plug there, And I told you all about this and it was kind of an interesting conversation because what I did was I asked you more about this.

We'll get into more of this in just a few minutes.

But I asked you, you know, I told you that I had in 2023, I created this DOL cybersecurity program.

And because it is specifically cybersecurity.

pointed out in the guidance.

So let's go back to that afternoon at the lazy dog when you and I and your wife sat there and had this wonderful lunch and talked about all of this stuff.

So I asked you at that point, I says, look, I have this program, this cybersecurity program that I've had for a couple of years now.

I need to take a little break.

So I'm drinking a lemon cucumber infused drink from, I forgot, oh, Lazy Dog.

It's actually pretty refreshing and good, especially on a hot day like this, even though I'm in the nice little, what, 72 degree AC.

But still, it still tastes refreshing.

Basically after this, just some correlations that I thought were interesting tidbits.

He did go to Lazy Dog on that date.

I don't know if you know that.

And I don't know if you've been

Tom calls me and says, hey, will you come to lunch with this guy, Dan? He's interested in buying our company and tell him what we do.

So we go to this place called Lazy Dog in Northern Virginia.

We sit down for lunch and Dan asked me three questions.

How do you get new customers? How do you turn leads into sales? And how do you retarget your past prospects and customers? So I said, hey, if it's good enough for him to evaluate potentially buying our company by asking me those questions, I need to build a system with those three things in mind.
