Transcript

00:00:00.000 Let me share with you guys what Coach K said last night.
00:00:02.320 I think it's important for everybody to be thinking about this.
00:00:04.720 Last night, as a consultant, I'm giving this message to everybody.
00:00:11.320 And I was thinking about the entire time, what should I share?
00:00:15.660 So I gave 150 pictures over the years of what we've done.
00:00:19.340 And I found one of Tom's favorite pictures.
00:00:21.480 I'm telling history, stuff that we've done.
00:00:22.960 We're laughing, we're going through.
00:00:24.180 It's a great story.
00:00:25.260 But one of the things was that all of us in life, yesterday we're having breakfast,
00:00:30.600 the conversation we had with Adam.
00:00:31.800 I don't know if you remember that conversation.
00:00:32.900 I do remember that conversation, sir.
00:00:34.660 Yeah, incredible conversation we had is how do you measure a man?
00:00:39.460 Like what is a man?
00:00:40.480 If I ask you what is a man, not the chromosome man, not the funny stuff that we're talking about.
00:00:44.100 What is a woman?
00:00:44.680 No, no, I'm not talking about that game.
00:00:46.000 I'm talking about how do you measure a man?
00:00:48.800 Wouldn't you look at a man and say, man, that's a man's man.
00:00:51.700 What does a man's man need to do to be a man?
00:00:54.060 There's levels in life.
00:00:56.020 There's levels in wealth.
00:00:57.220 There's levels in sports.
00:00:58.260 There's levels in greatness.
00:00:59.920 There's levels in being a man.
00:01:02.420 And unfortunately, a lot of times, especially nowadays, you know, we are living in an era
00:01:09.900 where the same way women are kind of going through the era of what?
00:01:13.140 I don't need a man.
00:01:13.960 I don't need this.
00:01:14.560 J-Lo just said something last night.
00:01:16.540 She said, after being married five times or whatever, I have decided I'm choosing me.
00:01:20.840 Oh, God.
00:01:21.480 I'm choosing me.
00:01:22.520 You're choosing you?
00:01:24.120 What are you choosing, bro?
00:01:25.880 How old are you?
00:01:27.020 This is it.
00:01:27.600 After four divorces and six different engagements, 56-year-old singer Jennifer Lopez says she's
00:01:32.380 done with marriage, and she's choosing herself, right?
00:01:36.900 And also, my God, she's so amazing.
00:01:38.980 Good for you for choosing you.
00:01:40.120 Good for you for doing this.
00:01:41.720 There's nothing more unattractive than a single woman in her 50s that's wealthy.
00:01:47.420 No one's interested.
00:01:49.120 Nobody is.
00:01:49.720 Maybe a 22-year-old that wants to come marry you and get half your wealth five years later,
00:01:53.380 but people are not interested.
00:01:55.240 But this is like this new era.
00:01:57.180 I don't need a man.
00:01:58.040 I can do my own thing.
00:01:59.320 And for men, guess what men are going through?
00:02:01.540 Screw you.
00:02:02.320 You want to do this?
00:02:03.180 I don't want any responsibilities.
00:02:05.300 Don't give me any responsibilities.
00:02:07.300 I'm going to choose me, too.
00:02:08.940 So who wins?
00:02:09.680 You know who wins?
00:02:10.400 The enemy wins.
00:02:11.140 Who's the enemy?
00:02:12.480 The enemy is another country.
00:02:13.880 The enemy is another denomination.
00:02:15.120 The enemy is another philosophy, ideology that doesn't match with the Western ideology that
00:02:20.220 became the greatest country in the world.
00:02:21.720 It doesn't match with freedom of speech.
00:02:23.660 It doesn't match with freedom of assembly.
00:02:25.440 It doesn't match with freedom of religion.
00:02:27.520 It just doesn't.
00:02:28.680 So men are sitting there.
00:02:29.640 They're going on a strike.
00:02:30.800 Screw you.
00:02:31.700 I'm choosing me, too.
00:02:33.000 Now what?
00:02:34.460 And so neither one of them are right.
00:02:36.560 So the whole idea of men, we measure men based on more responsibilities they carry, what they
00:02:44.140 do for their family, what they do for their kids, what they do for their communities, what
00:02:48.760 they do for their state, for their country, for their church.
00:02:51.920 That's a man's man.
00:02:52.880 There's layers to it, right?
00:02:54.560 So last night I talked about the six levels we all go through.
00:02:58.960 Number one is we're lost.
00:03:00.420 Number two, somebody finds us and believes in us and says, hey, I believe in you.
00:03:04.100 I think you can do X, Y, Z.
00:03:05.120 Maybe you find God.
00:03:07.060 Maybe you find church.
00:03:08.000 Maybe you find a good influence in your life.
00:03:09.360 Number three, you finally commit.
00:03:11.040 I'm going to choose to change my life.
00:03:12.420 Number four, lifestyle changes.
00:03:14.880 You're living a better lifestyle.
00:03:15.940 You're living in a better place.
00:03:16.860 You have some money in the bank.
00:03:18.140 You're feeling confident.
00:03:18.960 You're feeling good about yourself.
00:03:20.560 And then phase number five, if you can skip it, good for you.
00:03:22.740 Phase number five is when you get bored, when you get entitled, when you get ungrateful,
00:03:25.860 when you forget about all the people that helped you.
00:03:27.860 Like, no one helped me.
00:03:28.560 I did all this for myself.
00:03:30.080 And then finally, hopefully, you go to phase number six, which is choosing legacy, choosing history,
00:03:34.220 choosing to do something big with your life.
00:03:36.120 And Coach K is speaking on stage.
00:03:37.960 I'm listening to this man walking up.
00:03:40.380 You know, him and I are talking.
00:03:41.880 And I'm, you know, if you ever see me taking pictures with a guy, I'm touching his shoulders.
00:03:46.660 I'm like, holy moly, Coach K.
00:03:48.400 You got some traps.
00:03:49.620 He's like, who the hell is this guy, like, putting his arms all around me, all this stuff.
00:03:52.840 I'll post the story on Instagram afterwards.
00:03:55.160 He's on stage.
00:03:55.880 He says, when he was a young man, 10 years old or something, playing basketball, his mom
00:04:00.660 tells him a story.
00:04:01.880 And it's the story of bus.
00:04:04.240 He says, Mom, I want to go play.
00:04:05.660 Leave me alone.
00:04:06.100 He says, no.
00:04:07.220 Michael specifically said Michael, not Mike.
00:04:09.540 Michael, stay here.
00:04:10.680 I have to tell you the story.
00:04:11.780 What's that?
00:04:13.020 In life, you better get on the right bus.
00:04:15.940 He says, Mom, which bus are you talking about?
00:04:17.420 I got to go play basketball.
00:04:19.100 Because Coach K ended up playing at one point for Bobby Bowden.
00:04:22.720 No, not Bobby Bowden.
00:04:23.600 Bobby Knight?
00:04:23.860 Bobby Knight.
00:04:24.300 Did you know that?
00:04:25.320 Yeah, I think in the military somewhere.
00:04:26.800 That's right, because he was in the Army.
00:04:28.060 Yeah, correct.
00:04:28.620 So he's like, what are you talking about with the bus?
00:04:31.120 He says, if you're going to get on someone's bus, you better choose the right bus.
00:04:35.600 And if you're going to be the driver on your bus, you better choose a lot of people to
00:04:38.760 get on your bus.
00:04:39.780 If you allow the wrong people to get on your bus, life will be destroyed.
00:04:43.720 And if you get on the wrong bus, your life will be destroyed.
00:04:46.580 So for you watching this right now, before we get into all these stories, I don't want
00:04:49.060 to say this at the end.
00:04:49.760 Normally, I would say that at the end, but I just want to open it up with this monologue.
00:04:52.640 It's amazing what can happen to any one of our lives if you choose to have the right
00:04:59.300 people in your ear and if you choose to raise your standards.
00:05:03.040 It's one of the hardest things to do as young men.
00:05:05.740 Men nowadays are afraid of responsibilities.
00:05:07.640 No, no, no, no, no.
00:05:08.900 No, no, kids.
00:05:10.320 No, no, 1.59 childbirth per woman.
00:05:12.500 No, no, no.
00:05:12.860 I don't want any responsibilities.
00:05:14.500 But that's not what a leader does.
00:05:16.360 That's not what a man's man does.
00:05:18.080 That's not what a man that wants to be looked back later on when they come to your funeral,
00:05:21.720 they're looking at you saying, holy moly, this man changed my life.
00:05:24.340 This is my father.
00:05:25.740 Men are sitting there.
00:05:26.680 Women are sitting at your funeral saying, I am so proud to have had a relationship with
00:05:30.080 this person.
00:05:31.000 And that kind of a person only happens when you choose to make a decision in your life.
00:05:35.840 And it's not easy to do.
00:05:36.940 It's very hard to do.
00:05:38.100 But I just want to open up with that.
00:05:39.600 Do whatever you want with the story.
00:05:41.760 Last night was just a very special night for me.
00:05:43.820 I've been in this business for 25 years in the financial insurance business.
00:05:47.140 Most of you guys only know me as a podcaster.
00:05:49.000 You don't know what I do on the business side.
00:05:50.740 I'm meeting with all these CEOs that are running multi-billion dollar insurance companies,
00:05:53.960 all these different conversations.
00:05:55.520 The industry changed our lives.
00:05:57.260 But if it's the right person watching this, if this message resonated with you, graduate
00:06:02.460 from lost to found to committed.
00:06:05.380 And then try to skip the entitled, the bored, the no one helped me out, I did it all myself,
00:06:11.360 the lack of gratitude phase, and pursue legacy and history.
00:06:14.820 Because great things are around the corner.
00:06:15.940 And I do believe the future looks bright.
00:06:18.120 I'm convinced the future looks bright.
00:06:19.940 Every time I say the future looks bright, it's amazing.
00:06:21.980 Half the people in the world want to convince me that it doesn't look bright.
00:06:25.080 But it's unfair.
00:06:26.160 You don't know.
00:06:27.620 You're only saying that's because you have money.
00:06:29.400 I said that when I was broke, $49,000 in debt, and I had nothing.
00:06:33.760 And I said the future looks bright.
00:06:35.000 I don't know why.
00:06:36.160 I said the future looks bright.
00:06:37.400 It's a mentality.
00:06:38.320 It's a mindset that every one of us can have.
00:06:40.240 That's what we believe in.
00:06:41.360 That's what our brand's all about.
00:06:42.520 Yesterday, a guy comes up to me, one of these insurance executives, I saw your son selling a shoe.
00:06:47.640 That's his future looks bright.
00:06:49.180 I said, yeah.
00:06:50.240 So what are you going to sell next?
00:06:52.080 I said, what do you mean, what am I going to sell?
00:06:53.720 You're saying it as if it's bad to sell something.
00:06:56.800 And he kind of got checked real quick.
00:06:58.800 I'm like, you sell life insurance, bro.
00:07:01.380 I've been proud to sell life insurance my entire life.
00:07:03.960 But I respect anybody that sells anything.
00:07:05.860 We're at a podcast that they sold us this place.
00:07:08.420 And guess what?
00:07:09.200 They have so many people working here.
00:07:10.980 It's like over-preparation for us.
00:07:13.700 Typically, I'm like trying to get focused on what I'm doing.
00:07:15.840 Do you guys need this?
00:07:16.620 Do you guys need that?
00:07:17.300 I'm like, holy shit.
00:07:18.360 Like, unreasonable hospitality.
00:07:20.020 These guys are on steroids here.
00:07:21.680 But they're selling themselves.
00:07:22.920 I freaking love it.
00:07:24.560 This is what business and life is all about.
00:07:26.500 You ought to be proud of it.
00:07:27.760 Whatever you're doing, if you're going to be industrious, be proud of what you're doing.
00:07:30.840 Anyways, I don't want to go on a rant because I want to go into the stories.
00:07:33.680 But last night was a very, very special night for anybody that was there.
00:07:39.440 Love you guys.
00:07:40.580 What a historic night.
00:07:42.200 I'm going to post some of the pictures.
00:07:43.340 We got so many great stories from last night.
00:07:44.920 Everybody crushed it.
00:07:46.320 And congratulations to Chris and Vecina Hart.
00:07:48.780 I was just going to mention that.
00:07:49.940 They were on fire.
00:07:51.180 You got to give a shout-out to Hart.
00:07:51.940 MVP.
00:07:52.560 Can I ask you just one quick follow-up on this?
00:07:54.440 By the way, amazing night.
00:07:56.980 Shout-out to PHP.
00:07:57.840 Shout-out to Integrity.
00:07:58.600 Shout-out to Chris Hart, who won the MVP, I believe.
00:08:01.420 Shout-out to Sepala.
00:08:02.580 Or Hargases.
00:08:03.300 Earned.
00:08:03.960 Here's my question for you on these six phases that we all go through.
00:08:07.060 Yes.
00:08:08.020 We've all been lost.
00:08:08.820 We all found.
00:08:09.360 We get someplace where we're going.
00:08:10.480 We get committed.
00:08:11.320 Then you get the lifestyle.
00:08:12.660 And lifestyle creep sets in.
00:08:14.560 All right, I get a nicer car.
00:08:15.740 I get a nicer clothes.
00:08:17.400 To me, the biggest challenge is-
00:08:18.620 Some people get nicer cars.
00:08:19.980 That's true.
00:08:20.420 Maybe you get a nicer Uber.
00:08:21.360 Better Uber.
00:08:22.080 Black.
00:08:22.440 Uber black.
00:08:22.940 Yeah.
00:08:23.280 Go ahead.
00:08:23.720 Better Uber.
00:08:24.340 Better driver's license.
00:08:25.540 Better friends.
00:08:26.300 Yes.
00:08:26.400 But to me, phase five is where reality sets it.
00:08:29.720 And where it's like, all right, I've made some money.
00:08:31.700 I've done some things.
00:08:32.640 And it's natural, maybe a week or two, a month.
00:08:35.160 All right.
00:08:35.480 Yep.
00:08:35.700 How do you avoid going into, you know, I'm the man kind of vibe now and get back to work?
00:08:42.120 You know who's the first people you don't want to be around when you're going through
00:08:44.600 that phase of boredom, ungrateful, entitled, arrogant, rebellion, like everything's about
00:08:50.640 you.
00:08:51.100 You know who are the people you hate the most in those seasons?
00:08:54.360 You know who are the people you hate the most?
00:08:55.620 Tell me.
00:08:55.980 The people that'll tell you the truth.
00:08:57.460 Oh.
00:08:57.980 The people that'll check you in the heart.
00:08:59.080 The truth tellers.
00:08:59.480 You cannot stand the high standard people.
00:09:02.200 All you want to do is be surrounded by people that want to flatter you.
00:09:05.320 And flattery is one of the worst drugs in the world.
00:09:08.120 It's deception.
00:09:09.180 It's manipulation.
00:09:10.640 It's gamification.
00:09:12.000 It's finding a way to divide between you and high standards.
00:09:14.680 Whether it's your wife who doesn't want you to work too hard.
00:09:17.360 Whether it's your girlfriend.
00:09:18.460 Whether it's your brother.
00:09:19.340 Whether it's your sibling.
00:09:20.480 Whether it's your best friend that still wants you to party.
00:09:22.280 He doesn't want you to go and become a family man because he's going to lose you at
00:09:25.440 the nightclub.
00:09:26.160 I'll never forget a friend of mine.
00:09:28.020 Devin.
00:09:28.440 I absolutely love Devin.
00:09:30.240 Till today I think about that guy.
00:09:32.320 I can tell you his phone number.
00:09:33.260 I can tell you his birthday.
00:09:34.380 The only guy that when I was in the army.
00:09:36.560 The only guy.
00:09:37.200 When I came back I stayed with him for 18 days.
00:09:38.860 I lived at his place for 18 days.
00:09:40.800 Baharians.
00:09:41.280 Devin.
00:09:42.000 Whoever sends you this video.
00:09:43.460 I love you.
00:09:44.920 I worked with this guy at Burger King 30 years ago.
00:09:47.420 30 years ago.
00:09:48.080 Yeah.
00:09:48.280 No.
00:09:48.700 Maybe 31 years ago.
00:09:50.100 I worked with my Burger King.
00:09:51.200 Me, Devin, and Kogan.
00:09:53.300 And Devin was the drive-thru guy.
00:09:56.020 Legendary drive-thru guy.
00:09:56.840 He was a good drive-thru man.
00:09:57.760 He was fast.
00:09:58.400 What do you mean the drive-thru guy?
00:09:59.460 He was drive-thru.
00:10:00.180 The guy that you heard at the drive-thru.
00:10:01.180 The guy you would come and buy stuff.
00:10:01.820 Walk to the Burger King.
00:10:02.560 If you work at Burger King, your drive-thru, that's a promotion.
00:10:05.180 Wow.
00:10:06.280 Eddie, who was our manager, never gave me the drive-thru job.
00:10:10.160 I said, Eddie, he says, you're just a chef.
00:10:12.220 You're the CEO of Burger Flipping.
00:10:13.680 I would do Whopper, no onions.
00:10:15.160 Boom, boom, boom.
00:10:15.640 That was me, right?
00:10:16.580 Quick.
00:10:16.840 So let me be a cashier.
00:10:18.160 He says, you talk to people too much.
00:10:19.940 Stay back.
00:10:20.260 I was the biggest chef they had, and I intentionally call myself chef.
00:10:24.020 Yes.
00:10:24.460 I was a chef.
00:10:25.800 Chef David at Burger King, right?
00:10:27.720 The everyone that calls me, we used to party a lot together.
00:10:30.020 He calls me.
00:10:30.780 He says, hey, Pat.
00:10:31.360 I said, what's up?
00:10:32.860 He says, hey, man, you ain't coming to the clubs anymore.
00:10:35.280 I says, yeah, bro.
00:10:36.100 I'm done.
00:10:36.760 He says, what are you doing right now?
00:10:37.660 I said, I'm studying stocks.
00:10:39.040 It's Saturday night.
00:10:40.440 He says, I'm sorry, what are you doing?
00:10:41.900 I said, I'm studying stocks, trying to see what to do.
00:10:43.960 I'm trying to get my securities, all this other stuff.
00:10:46.360 He says, Pat, we're going to the club tonight.
00:10:48.080 Come with us.
00:10:48.620 I says, I have no interest.
00:10:49.980 He says, Pat, let's go to the club.
00:10:51.260 We're going to have a good time.
00:10:51.900 I said, Devine, I'm not coming to the club.
00:10:55.160 We had gone to a party with one of my friends, Armin, bless his soul,
00:10:58.300 and another guy named Mesrop.
00:10:59.440 He'll remember this.
00:11:01.020 Mesrop, Armin, and Devine should remember this.
00:11:03.280 We're at a club.
00:11:04.100 We went to see a girl.
00:11:05.200 She was there.
00:11:05.740 We said hi.
00:11:06.700 Some stupid things happened there.
00:11:08.420 Again, this is not the club.
00:11:09.460 This is the party in Burbank.
00:11:10.920 Up in Angeleno.
00:11:11.960 I don't know if some of the people from there know.
00:11:13.480 It's close to the, what is the spot atop of Burbank, Tom,
00:11:16.420 that place that was a make-out place.
00:11:18.880 Not Castaway.
00:11:19.720 No, no, say it.
00:11:20.460 Castaway.
00:11:20.980 Yeah, Castaway.
00:11:21.560 Tom, what was it?
00:11:24.460 I don't know.
00:11:25.520 I was always up at the top.
00:11:26.480 I told Devine.
00:11:29.340 Getting a parking ticket.
00:11:30.400 Something happened that night.
00:11:31.720 I said, I'm done.
00:11:32.600 I have no desire to be here.
00:11:34.420 I moved on.
00:11:35.260 Devine calls me and says, I missed the old Pat.
00:11:37.260 I will never forget that phone call.
00:11:39.880 When it says, Pat, I missed the old Pat.
00:11:41.720 The Pat that used to party.
00:11:42.900 Yes, and for a split second, I was like, damn, that hurt.
00:11:48.140 And then I was shell-shocked.
00:11:49.880 And if he remembers this, he's probably going to text me.
00:11:52.600 If he remembers this, I said, I don't miss the old Pat.
00:11:56.260 That's what matters.
00:11:57.460 I am done.
00:11:59.160 Period.
00:12:00.520 Until you're not too, this doesn't mean we can't reminisce.
00:12:03.740 This doesn't mean we can't laugh.
00:12:04.860 This doesn't mean we can't sit there and talk about the stories.
00:12:07.000 But I didn't miss the old Pat.
00:12:08.280 I had seen my dad that almost died.
00:12:11.520 Life was changing quickly.
00:12:13.620 Chaos everywhere.
00:12:14.760 I have not a single penny to my name.
00:12:16.980 And you want me to go and party to do what?
00:12:18.600 With people that just want to do ecstasy, roll, drink water at 2 o'clock.
00:12:21.860 We go to naked.
00:12:22.680 Then we go to this other club.
00:12:23.820 I'm out.
00:12:24.380 I was done.
00:12:25.520 And life changed.
00:12:26.560 So for you, when you're going through that phase, the hardest thing about going through
00:12:29.580 the ungrateful, bored, entitled phase is having people around you that tell you what you want
00:12:35.680 to hear versus what you need to hear.
00:12:37.200 The people that are around you that tell you what you need to hear are the most annoying
00:12:40.160 people in the world.
00:12:41.560 Are the most annoying people in the world.
00:12:43.160 Scripture tells us, Tom, I'm going to paraphrase this, that a kiss from an enemy versus the truth
00:12:52.520 from a friend.
00:12:53.500 You can find this, Rob.
00:12:54.820 There is, there's, there's, faithful are the wounds of a friend, but the kisses of an
00:13:00.120 enemy are deceitful.
00:13:01.240 And the wounds of a friend are sharp words of truth.
00:13:04.200 Yes.
00:13:04.600 So guess what?
00:13:06.100 You want that?
00:13:07.540 That's tough.
00:13:09.140 That is so hard.
00:13:11.340 And unfortunately, I've been that guy for a lot of people.
00:13:14.600 And most of the time they don't like it, but it's not changing because we got a big
00:13:19.100 vision of what we want to do.
00:13:20.020 Very simple.
00:13:20.540 This is why so many athletes get those posses, which is old friends and everybody and their
00:13:24.540 new contract and it all ends in tears because they get wiped out.
00:13:28.620 They're buying stuff.
00:13:29.740 No one's there to help them build structure.
00:13:32.600 And if they get a good coach, they talk about Dean Smith.
00:13:35.880 They talk about coach Zaszewski.
00:13:37.500 How many players have talked about the, the influence of that change my life changed
00:13:41.660 this.
00:13:42.080 Exactly.
00:13:42.880 And a big way.
00:13:43.720 Okay.
00:13:44.500 So are you going to say, I was just going to say like, just really fast when I was
00:13:47.960 sitting there yesterday with Adam and I'm looking at this list because everything in
00:13:51.040 my head, I'm like, how does this apply to me?
00:13:52.740 And then when I saw lost, I go, huh?
00:13:54.760 Lost LA friends passed away.
00:13:57.800 COVID life was going down.
00:13:59.820 Found.
00:14:00.360 I found you.
00:14:01.520 I found you on, I saw the picture of you and I saw David.
00:14:04.280 I go, who the, my cousin's Mike's name is David.
00:14:06.360 Click.
00:14:06.780 Boom.
00:14:07.300 Found.
00:14:07.800 And then came here.
00:14:09.100 Lifestyle change.
00:14:09.940 Gave myself to Christ.
00:14:11.040 Stopped drinking.
00:14:11.980 I'm, and by the way, I was nervous because I was like, am I bored?
00:14:15.020 And I go, no, I'm not in the bored and entitled, but now it's the legacy.
00:14:17.880 You can graduate that, but that was your community.
00:14:19.740 You can graduate that.
00:14:20.700 Never even hit it.
00:14:21.680 That's what I'm saying.
00:14:22.200 In my mind, I'm like, wait, I, I, meaning I was bored of who I, like I wanted to recreate
00:14:26.600 myself, but I'm like, I wasn't entitled to anything.
00:14:28.660 So when I saw it, I was like, holy crap, that's for, everybody has to go through it.
00:14:33.740 Yeah.
00:14:34.060 No, I mean, listen, I'm saying your commitment stage is my most inspiring things I've ever
00:14:37.680 seen.
00:14:37.920 My oldest son is on the other side.
00:14:39.420 And, and Tico, wherever you are, I think you're somewhere here.
00:14:42.540 He loves bow ties.
00:14:43.240 He's in the back.
00:14:43.820 He's trying to get a job over here.
00:14:45.820 He kind of likes these guys.
00:14:46.620 There's Tico back there.
00:14:47.440 He's looking.
00:14:47.980 He's putting bow ties in a shredder.
00:14:49.880 Yesterday they're coming back and it's 12 o'clock and, you know, they left a little
00:14:54.140 bit or 11 o'clock.
00:14:54.940 You guys are leaving.
00:14:55.560 What did Tico tell you?
00:14:56.600 We're in the car.
00:14:57.580 Can you put up that picture with him and the bow tie?
00:14:59.380 Watch this.
00:15:00.080 So I'm putting up the bow tie and he's like sick.
00:15:03.020 And I told him, Tico, I'm doing this tight.
00:15:05.060 You're looking good, Tico.
00:15:05.400 Tell me.
00:15:05.880 This is a story only him and Dylan know.
00:15:07.620 I said, Tico, I'm doing the bow tie tight.
00:15:09.800 Look how sick it is.
00:15:10.580 How tight it is.
00:15:10.840 No, it's ridiculous.
00:15:11.580 I said, is it, is your voice changing?
00:15:12.960 And he goes like this.
00:15:13.800 It's not tight.
00:15:15.220 I said, you sure it's not tight?
00:15:17.200 And what does he say last time?
00:15:18.180 We're in the car going back, me, Jen, and Rob.
00:15:20.160 And then I'm like, man, I got to get to the room.
00:15:22.260 I got to prep for the podcast and pack because we're leaving.
00:15:25.300 And then Tico goes just like this.
00:15:27.440 He goes, I'm going to get back to the room.
00:15:29.260 I'm going to take off this bow tie and I'm going to set it on fire.
00:15:34.500 He hates bow ties.
00:15:35.940 Dude, I asked him if he likes bow ties.
00:15:38.120 He said he does.
00:15:39.680 Hang on, Tico.
00:15:40.780 It's an announcement.
00:15:41.840 Look at that face.
00:15:42.360 Make it look good, Tico, man.
00:15:44.820 By the way, Tico.
00:15:45.500 I will tell you, I'm proud of that guy, man.
00:15:47.080 Yeah.
00:15:47.700 Well, listen.
00:15:48.260 I'm proud of that guy.
00:15:48.940 He's an inch away from being Tom's height at 13 years old.
00:15:51.860 True.
00:15:52.040 He's going places.
00:15:52.640 And possibly smarter than Tom.
00:15:54.180 Yeah, well, that's a big leap.
00:15:56.420 That's a little just taller than me.
00:15:58.480 Every year, folks, there's threats.
00:16:01.720 When you're in business, when you're building your business, whatever you're doing.
00:16:05.020 This year, we are releasing our annual Top 20 Threat Report

00:16:14.020 with a white paper that will be given to everybody.
00:16:17.000 These are threats that we personally go through ourselves.
00:16:19.760 We now have grown our business the last couple of years from 20 employees, 30 employees,
00:16:22.760 to now, 164 full-time employees.
00:16:24.960 This is not ICs.
00:16:25.760 This is not independent contractors.
00:16:27.380 I'm talking that's on the value attainment side.
00:16:29.960 And then on the PHB side, we're dealing with a complete different threat.
