Pilot Point

So I kind of moved away from the final expense and into the retirement, more of the retirement options for business owners.

When I got here in pilot point, moved here and started getting involved in the community one of the first things i was approached about was becoming under um on the getting on the board of the chamber so once i got on the board of the chamber i saw an opportunity to help business owners uh with uh their not just their retirement but their exit plan i found a lot of business owners um they have a plan to get into business but they have no plan to get out of the business

right yeah what do you do to get out of business you got to sell it you've got to figure out how you market your business and all that that's there's a lot to that

yeah so i started focusing on that and when i found out that uh a lot of the businesses they're they're not they're not since they don't plan for an exit plan they don't have their business set up that way either which would make it marketable you know um You can want to sell your business, but if your business isn't marketable, nobody's going to want to buy your business.

goodness.

Wow.

It was, I'm in pilot point, but it wasn't, would it be at two o'clock in the morning? It wasn't very much traffic to get down there.

So it didn't take, you know, probably would, if it had been minutes, but we were going to be down there in about an hour.

... ended up

... exactly where ...

That's, like, right out ...

This road's like Crossroads, Aubrey, Pilot Point.

[laughs]

at 10 a.m. You can listen at 987radio.com. All right, let's breeze through some of these headlines before we get into all of the heavy election season political news.

Pilot Point ISD Superintendent and Police Chief have been placed on administrative leave.

Now, the school board won't tell WFAA or anybody about Why the police chief and the superintendent, Dr. Shannon Fuller and Chief Eric Dortch, were placed on leave, they just say it's out of an abundance of caution in response to a complaint.

They don't have findings regarding the complaint, but I guess they have something enough to put these two on guard.

leave at pilot point isd trump confirms fort hood shooter execution will not be live streamed at all hasan that traitor to this country the radical muslim uh after hegseth yeah we're gonna video it now a lot of people all sides conservatives they were upset about that didn't want to have that i I don't like the fact that people want to see that kind of thing as spectacle, but I do think that there's something positive about public execution.

I mean, historically, that's the way it was in this country.

We'll see.

And, and now this isn't like, you know, I, I don't know how much tourism is happening in Fate, but it's, it, it's again, these are probably people going, "Dallas is too big.

I wanna move." And we just had on, uh, Britt Lusk up in Pilot Point, and he says, "What's interesting about these kind of, these kind of people who all this growth is, they go, 'Oh, we're coming out because we like Fate the way it is.'" It's like they want you to close the door to everyone coming behind them.

And so [laughs] but you don't have that option.

Growth happens, and I'm sure Fate has had identity growth.
