Transcript

You're listening to unfiltered us, where we keep it real and unscripted. I'm your host, Susie, along with my husband, Miguel. Ready to dive in? Let's get started. Okay. Welcome to episode eight. And we have a special guest today. Welcome, son. What's up? How are you? Happy to be here. Yeah. Okay, good. Thank you for coming. Last minute. Of course. No problem. For those of you guys that are listening, Susie has been under the weather since the last episode that we. Yeah. Posted since last Friday. As a matter of fact, she got really sick, and, uh, so she has no voice right now. And so we had to call in our very first special guest, our son. Yeah. Miguel. The third. The third. Awesome. So, well, you've heard our podcast before. I have. And what do you think so far? I think it's awesome. I think it's great. Um, obviously, I've, you know, been around you guys my whole life, but even I'm learning stuff about you guys, so I think that's that's, uh, the whole goal of the podcast, so. Yeah, you know, and that's what, um, that's what your mom, uh, I actually, that's what your sister has said in regards to. She didn't know a few things that, uh, yeah, we had said on the podcast, she's like, I didn't know about that. Yeah. And so, you know, it's funny because there's times where you don't remember things like there's some things that your mom have said on the podcast that I forgotten about it in a sense. And I didn't remember them again until she brought them up. Yeah. And just like a few things I've said that she had forgotten about it until I brought it up, you know, and that's the dynamic of this podcast we don't really discuss or. Have an agenda or a guide or, um, a what do you call it? Um, yeah. Guide. Like a guide of what we're going to say. We just sit down and we just talk about we do have kind of like a topic, but we don't have, you know, like we don't have pre-set like, um, talking points. Yeah, talking points or whatever you want to call it. So that's, that's what makes it cool. And that's what a lot of people have said on the podcast. So what are some of the things that you didn't know about, uh, that my grandma had left you at school that one day? No, no, we had talked about that. You know, we get a lot of people that said that we get a lot of people that do come back and says, man, I didn't know that. Poor Miguel, he was four years old. And yeah, you know, and obviously we have, you know, Elena, that's five. And it just imagine a year younger. I know with my heart I mean that that's crazy. But that is true though. And that is true. And then thinking back, I mean, obviously I'm from a whole different new era where kids today are completely different, you know? So what happened today? For sure, what I called. Yeah, call your mom, come pick me up in the school today. That parent that if that happens today to a parent that parents for sure getting some charges or something going on the you know they're going on the news, the parent leaves a child at school, you know, parent and then and then they'll interview the person right next to them and be like, oh, how could you leave a child like that? A four year old? Yeah. We emailed you. Well, that's the thing. There was no emails, there was no calls. And I don't know if it was a holiday. I don't I don't know what it was, honestly, but. Yeah, that was me. That's wild. Yeah. Yeah. So tell us a little bit about yourself. Um, for people that maybe don't know. Yeah. No. I mean, I was born and raised here in Vegas. Um, been here all my life. I don't see any plans of moving out, but I love the city. Um, been blessed to be your guys's son. I know you guys have, you know, taken me and my sister. Um, you know, traveling a lot. And, uh, you know, I was thinking about it when you told me to, you know, come on the podcast. It was like that. You gave us really the the, um, the ability to dream. And I know, I, like, you know, we send each other like, big, big, multi-million dollar mansions. And it's like, you know, this is going to be ours and you can live next door to us. And so, you know, I, um, I've been blessed. That's that's really all I can conclude it to. That's awesome. Yeah, I know that last house you sent me, that was really nice. I think it was like, what, 14 car garage, 14 car garage, two 2000ft² garage. And then the house is like 3000. The house is like one bedroom, one kitchen, one bath. It's perfect for me. Yeah, exactly. That's awesome. So you said you were born here in Vegas. Um, it's crazy because, you know, I. And same thing with your mom. You know, she was born here in Vegas, and, uh, you guys have never really lived. You visited a bunch of different places, but you never really lived in a whole nother country. Not yet. You know, and. Okay, I like that. Not yet. And so, um, it's just awesome to see that, um. You know that that right now you're at a point where you're going to start exploring all of that. Yeah. You know, because you've never really explored it to this point. You never know what it's like to live in a different country. And I was talking to your mom about that earlier today on how I remember my grandma. You know, I, I spent a summer with her in Caracas, and, uh, she walked everywhere. She was like, in her probably in her 70s or 60s, for sure. 60. 60. 70. Okay. And I lived the summer with her. I stayed the summer with her in Caracas. And everywhere she went, she didn't have a car. She, um, walked and. And that's the thing about, you know, a lot of the Latin American countries, when you live in the city, you know, you walk everywhere. And that's in a sense also keeps people in shape. Yeah. Because they walk, you know, and the reason why we brought this up was because nobody walks here. Nobody walks here in Vegas. I mean, if you see people walking or depending on the side of town you live by, but if you see people walking on our side of town, it's because they might be exercising, but they're they're not really doing their daily lives. They're just exercising and coming back home. Right? Yeah. And if you see people walking in a certain side of town, they're just walking to the bus stop, you know? Yeah. And. Yeah. And walking. They are going to the grocery store. Oh maybe. Yes, you're right because we have seen them. But it's not it's not the same though. I mean, you know, when you live completely Um. It's not where your lifestyle is. All you do is walk because you live in the city, you know? And so I think little things like that, you know, that I grew up, um, watching or seeing or doing that. You don't you, you right now, at this point, don't know that yet because you've never lived anywhere but here in this, in this, um, I don't know, this this style. Yeah. This dynamic of living in Vegas. Yeah. So what do you do right now? Um, I work from home, so, you know, okay, I, I work with you, but, uh, you know, I work from home. Do do a lot of zoom, zoom appointments, and, um, you know, I was able to, you know, pick up a corporate job on the side as well. So it's it's been pretty good. That's awesome. I know you're great at it, so. Yeah, I am, and you like it. So which is the most exciting part about it, you know, and you get to work from home. Yes. Which is amazing too. So. And for an amazing company as well as well. Yeah. That's awesome. How old are you? Did you say how old you are? I did not. I'm 23. I'm going to be 24 this August. Like over a year. Are you single? I am single. We did. We don't know. He moved out last, I don't know, a few months ago. Six months ago. So we don't know that. That's all we have to ask. I would, I would keep you up there. Okay, good. There will be signs. There will be signs. That's awesome. That's awesome. So what? Um, tell us more about yourself so people get to know you. Or maybe something about our family dynamic and. Um, just became a homeowner. And it's been six, six months. Six months now. I know, thank you. Um, after a year. It's crazy. It just seemed like it flew by. But, um, that that's been, you know, kind of a majority of my life lately, but, um, you know, kind of fixing everything here and there, but that it's it's been good. You know, and, um, kind of just becoming my own person is what I can say is, uh, you know, finding the things that I like to do on my free time. Uh, you know, reading, working out, you know, watching comedy shows. I know we talk about that a lot, so, um, but that's that's about it. That's all I can think about right now. We just went to a comedy show. Yeah. We did. It was pretty funny. It was. I like the first one better, but the. The first time until last year. Yeah. The one he came last year was actually funnier. But yeah, this time around, it wasn't bad. It was just. I thought we still had a good time. Yeah. Oh, no. The time was great. Yeah, yeah, the time was great. And I know one thing that I know you've been a part of, um, growing up. Because, again, you know, when we had you come over and do this podcast with us, I want people to understand, like I was we think about, man, what are some of the things we're going to cover. What are some of the things we're going to say? Yeah. But looking back, you and I have been to a bunch of, uh, sporting events. Yes, we've been to a ton. We've been to basketball games, baseball games, soccer games. Um, so maybe talk a little bit about that because I know we we've done a lot of that together, and we still do. We still do. Yeah. It's not gonna stop. Um, and the crazy thing about sports is that it's kind of. Taking us around the world. Yeah. You know, we've been. We've been to Spain. Now we got that underneath our belt. Uh, you know, in February we went to Mexico to watch a few games. So that was cool. Baseball. Mexico? Yes. Um, we've done that twice. We have gone to Mexico and watch the city. Correct. Um, we've gone to LA. We watched, we watched. We didn't watch. We haven't watched the Dodgers together. We haven't, you know, not not together in Dodger Stadium. But we have gone to Dodger Stadium together to watch a baseball game. But. Oh okay. Yes that's right. Um, is the World Baseball Classic. Yeah. That's true. So dang that's crazy. I have to do a Dodgers. I know, we just I just thought about that, but that is true. I didn't think about that one. The Lakers the Galaxy. Well we haven't seen the Lakers in L.A together either. Oh but we've seen them here. We've seen them here. Yeah. So I mean we've watched the Lakers. Yeah just here um the Galaxy yeah. Uh the Lakers the Lakers. It's just not the Dodgers together. That was. Yeah. Not the Dodgers together. Yeah. Dodger games are fun, I know. We. I've been with your mom, and then you've been with your mom, but not at the same time. No. So. But, you know, those are fun. But there's nothing like Latin American baseball. There's nothing that compares, but. And depending on the the city that we are in Mexico. That is true. We found that is true. That is true. The one we went in 2017, in Sinaloa that was actually way better and we had way more fun. I think it's just Sinaloa being Sinaloa. Yeah. Like you said, it wasn't it wasn't bad this time around. It was just different. It was different, you know. It was different. It was um, but Galaxy games, the Galaxy games, those games are fun. They go on to a playoff game and then a regular season game. Right. The aviators game. We've seen them here today. Aviators. Those are those. That was pretty fun. We've been to 1 or 2 111 okay. And then the 50 ones we never did. No we did see the lights. We did see the lights. The soccer twice. Once. Uh, I think I've been twice. Once you've been there. Twice I've been there. But I think I think the aviators, we've seen them twice. I want to say we've gone there twice. Maybe once. I don't know, maybe once. I want to say I've been there twice. You've been there twice. I've been there. I've been there twice. Or maybe once. I don't know, but we, as you can see, we lost track. It's been a lot. That's why. Yeah, that's what it's been. And they've been fun. You know, and that's one thing that I. I wanted to make sure. You know, growing up that I exposed you to a lot of that. You know, even UNLV games we've been to. When the running rebels. Yeah. When the running rebels were doing, uh, pretty good, there was a season. I forget how old you were, and they were doing really good. And, yeah, we would go watch, um, you know, my nephew Mike, he was he was, uh, attending, you know, he at that time. So he would get his a student tickets and we would sit with the student section. Yeah. And those are fun. They would have the big faces. Yeah, they used to. Yeah. When they had the running Reb. The Reb. The Reb, the OG mascot. That was fun. Um. And then, uh, yeah. Team USA. So you've seen Kobe play. You've seen LeBron. LeBron. You see a D all of these Steph Curry all of these guys that um that are you know major pro athletes basketball right. That you've seen them play and that's amazing. And like I said that's one thing that I wanted. To make sure you growing up that I was able to provide something like that for you, you know, that you went to and you got exposed to. Because I know that most parents out there or most dads, um, you know, maybe they just don't have the means or maybe they did. Maybe it's just not as important to them. Yeah. For them to be do things like that with their kids. But to me, doing that for you, that was so important, you know, and and nowadays we still get to do it. We just now get to do it at a, at a bigger level. Yeah. You know, and now it's like, uh Lakers game. You know, we've been to so many of them. And plus I'm not I'm not a big fan of LeBron right now. So but talk about that. But but I am fan of the league I love the Lakers. I've been a Laker fan. I'm still a Laker fan. I just waiting for LeBron to leave the Lakers to get to claim like that. I'm a big Laker fan again. We could go again when it's just Luka. Yeah, I think that would be great. I think the Lakers would be so much fun. You know, it's crazy because I see I see stuff that he does. Even just yesterday. They just won. Yeah, but I see things that he does and I'm like, oh, I cannot stand the things that he does. Great player. Okay. Don't get me wrong. I can't take away his his achievements. Yeah I can't take away his achievements. But the things that he does is like, no, Jordan would have never done that. The one that Kobe is covering. Yes. Yes. Kobe would have never. He was like. He was like, who was watching? You know, Kobe would have never done that. Yeah. I mean, Kobe didn't even flinch when Matt Barnes put the ball in his face. That's an old time Kobe. Okay, well, there you go. Kobe would have never Jordan would have never done that. He would have done I mean, I know role players, bench players that would have never even done that. Austin Reeves had done that. And so yeah, you see what I'm saying. So but anyways, uh, but yeah, to go back to the, the, the sporting events, I mean, we, we've had a great time classical here in Vegas. Oh yeah. It was Barcelona and Real Madrid. And then we also saw we went to the Rose Bowl. We went to the Rose Bowl and we saw Barcelona. Barcelona against Galaxy, against the Galaxy. That was insane. That one. That one was crazy because it was. There were so many people. 1000 people. Yeah. There were so many people sold out. Yeah, yeah. Beautiful stadium. I mean, the Rose Bowl. I don't know if I had to go back though. I remember the seats being like, right on your knees. And I like that. Like I just, I, I think we got really I think we got really lucky when, when the game ended and we left. Oh yeah. Getting out of there. But it would have been a madhouse. It would have been. It would have been worse than the Allegiant. When people get out and they have to walk. Yeah, that was crazy. Yeah. But yeah, that's that's one thing that I know we've, we've done a lot of, you know and then traveling I know um, obviously from the company that we want all these trips that you and, and your sister have been exposed to so many traveling. You know, I remember, I remember, I remember the day that we first went to Hawaii. Like when we first won the first Hawaii trip. Right? And then. Then we ended up going to Hawaii five times, right? In total. Yeah. And the last one I remember, you guys asked us, where are we going again? I said, we're going to Hawaii. You guys are like, again, come on. Can we go somewhere else? You know, and it was crazy because how many kids at your age say that, you know, that you're exposed to going to Hawaii five times? Yeah. And, you know, in Puerto Rico, I mean, I mean, all all these places, the Bahamas, we took you guys to. So that was pretty exciting. We talk a little bit about that. Um, man, it's just it's hard to put it into words. It's like there's, it's hard to put into words because that's really what I've kind of really all only known. The first trip to Hawaii was when I was in kindergarten, when I was in fifth grade. And so it was like, okay, well, this is what my life is accustomed to now. So, um, and then there's people in our company that said, you know, I haven't ever even flown in the plane before, you know, before my first trip. And I'm like, oh, what's the brain? So it's just kind of, um, it's a different life that you gave to us. And that's why I kind of started the episode saying, you know, we've been we've been blessed. So, um, but no, it's been great. The the traveling has been great. Um, Hawaii. But a Rico. Colorado. Colorado Springs. Um. I now looking back and as an adult I'm like, man, I kind of wish we would go back to Hawaii. Yeah. So yeah. But because you you appreciate it more when you're a kid, you just like, oh, whatever. But you know. Yeah, I want to go back as, uh, with the family, though, with Aaron and all the kids. Everyone looks a little older. Yeah. When, when when the kids get a little older and they can, you know, they can see what's going on. I think they'll be great. They're still. They're still very young. So if you give it a good 3 or 4 years, I think it'll be a perfect time. Yeah I agree. I'll be young enough that they can still understand. And so but it's been in my mind about oh going back to Hawaii and. Yeah Orlando too. Yeah. Because they would they would really love it. Yeah. So talk. Talk a little bit about, um, what you do right now as far as like I know you're big on reading. You love Self-improving. And that's one thing that our whole family does. I mean, we're looking at it still has books here that that she left and she's. I have a bunch of books that I left. Yeah. Okay. Well, those are mine now, so. Yeah. No, but you know, I remember, you know, I remember when Elisa was little, you were too young to remember this. I remember she wanted. I forget what she wanted. She wanted something. She wanted me to buy her something. And I told her, okay, I need you to read this book, and then I need you to give me a summary on what you got out of the book. You know? And it was like thinking grow rich, right? Like I gave her that assignment and, and she read a lot of those books, and then she would write like a little summary of when she got out of the book. And then she would tell me, and, you know, the things that she did, and I know you picked up on that. And so you started reading books early on. Yeah. And a lot of people maybe don't know this, but we truly are a self-improvement family. We are. You know, it's not just like I read or or I in your mom reading of you read, you know, at least read books. We all we really did become a complete self-improvement family. And that's one thing I don't think people know that. You know, people people don't know that about us and and about our family that we really do enjoy reading self-improvement books, you know? So talk a little bit about what that's done for you. And how's that? How how has that helped you? I, uh, well, definitely, self-improvement has been a big part of my life. Obviously just picking it up from from you guys and, um, you know, adapting. Um, not just reading, but applying what you read is another big thing, because I, you could read a book and then you kind of finish it, maybe do a report like you said, and then you forget about it. Right. And so I think that's an important thing of applying what you learn. And then a couple of books that I really like and I'm like, man, I want to go back and read it. And then I go back and read it and then I pick up something new. And so, like, um, this book, I just, I just gave one of my cousins. It was, um, the defining decade. It wasn't even one that you had recommended to me or anything. It was just. I don't think I've read it yet. Mhm. I know for sure. Um, but it, it was a pretty good book because, you know, about 20, 20 something year olds to, you know, kind of grow as, um, you know in your 20s and not let them go to waste, you know, instead of just partying and doing whatever here and there. It's actually, you know, do something right. And so I think I, I credit that book to a lot of what I've been able to do in the last couple of years now. You know, obviously I, I didn't have my, my driver's license, I didn't have a car, I didn't have a house. And so I you accomplished that in two years. I yeah, since I turned 21. Oh, wow. Okay. Yeah, I got my I got my license after I turned 21. I thought you got it at 18. No, sir. Uh, 21. 21. That's crazy. So, um, you know, I've. I've had my permit since I was 18. So you've been driving since then? With the permit, then? Yeah. Okay, okay. But I never really had my license, like. Well, even that I was so Uber and things like that. That's true. Yeah. So I was, um, you know, that book really did help me a lot. And that's why I, um, I gave it to my cousin so he can, you know, get something from it. So, um, that one I reread a couple times, another one that I reread, and this one I'm currently rereading is Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself, uh, by Joe Dispenza. And so that one's been. That's a great author. He's got great books. He he does. I know that there's some other books that he mentioned in that one. I was like, man, I need to go go pick those up as well. I think I think he has one that's called Becoming Supernatural that I read. That's a different one that was in there. But I remember you told me about yeah, that book is amazing. That guy, that author is great. Um, Vanessa recommended him to me. I thought that was great. And I like he has a lot of YouTube videos. He does a lot of interviews, and I like his stuff. Yeah. Vanessa, I think Brenda recommended Brenda Beltran. Beltran. Yeah. That's awesome. So I know you read a lot of books, and now you got your library at home. And Alyssa has one too, so that's that's pretty awesome. You know, for you guys that are listening as far as a parent, you know, like they say more than taught, right? Yeah. So you can tell your kids, hey, I need you to I want you to read. I want you to become a better person. But if you're not doing it, that that gets not going to do it. Yeah. Same thing with, you know, if you want your kid to work out but you don't work out, then that it's just not going to happen. You know, your kids do what you do and they follow what they see you do. And if they see you reading, they see you, you know, working out. They see you eating right there, see you doing the right thing. That's exactly what they're going to do. You know, and so great. So, um, what else can you tell us about yourself? Well, going back to that point for a second. Okay. So we're done with the book. I know what the um, no. And the last thing that you just said it was, you know, you never forced it on us. It was never like, yeah, okay, you need to read ten pages today, you know, or anything like that. I would see you, you know, especially, you know. Yeah. You know, lately before I moved out, you would go downstairs, you'd have your coffee, and then you would read, and then I would, you know, pick up my book and then read it right there, right next to you. And so, um, it is because that was our normal, you know. Right. That was just something that we did. And so but it was never anything for sure. I was like, you need to read this book, you know? So I think that was that was a, an important thing for me. Yeah. I don't think I don't know if there's anything that I've ever forced you to do. You've never forced us to do anything other than clean the pool and take out the trash. Yeah. Help you? Yeah. Then to help me to do chores around the house. But, you know, I mean, you know, since I, since I moved out and I was telling this to my cousin in Texas, uh, Emilio, is that, you know, since I moved out, I've just been grateful for both of you guys. Right. Um. You're welcome. Um, and, you know, even those little towns are just like, um, you know, come help me with this, you know, and you kind of put your foot down on me, and then I'll be like, all right, I guess. But, you know, I, I, I looking back, I'm glad that you did that because there's a lot of lessons that I was able to learn during those times. And I remember this one time in specific is that we were washing the cars. I don't know if you remember this, but I do. And then, you know, I was kind of being lazy and I was, you know, kind of half putting it in and you just come at me and you could see, you could see that I was not doing the job that I should have been. And then you said, don't ever have to ask anything in life. It's like in the middle of the car wash. And I was like, what the heck? Like, why did you just yell at me like that? And then. But it actually applied. I, I was able to be like, oh crap, you know, like, why, why am I doing it? Yeah. And so but I remember that. And at the time I didn't like it. But sometimes since I've grown and, you know, matured, I, I, I appreciated the lesson. Thank you. I don't remember saying that, but if you say it, I believe it. And that that. Remember, that does sound like something I would say that. Yeah. You know, I think I think a lot of the times, you know, like looking back, um, you guys grew up with you guys grew up without the necessity that I grew up with, you know, like, we had to do things. We had no choice but to do certain things growing up, you know, I did, you know, especially where I came from and the things I had to do and and the thing about kids that are in the United States that they they it's hard to comprehend the things that a kid that's born in Latin America has to do compared especially in Venezuela, compared to a kid that was born in the United States and have to do, you know. Yeah. And so there is there is a standard in a sense, you know, there is a bar because you know that when you're growing up and you're learning these things, you have no choice but to do them as well. Where here, you know, most kids and we've seen this right. There's examples. Um, of people that we know, okay. And they have kids, and they think they're helping their kids by doing everything for them. No. And by not setting that foot down and by not being, um, how do I put it? Like like like being not strict, but having that discipline to have their kid do things and not just do things, but to do things the right way. Yeah. You know, and then that's one thing that I've always wanted to make sure that I pass down to you and to at least, you know, because and again, even with your mom, because she was born here, she was raised here and, you know, and yes, she does have a lot of, you know, Mexican tendencies that her parents have instilled in her, but it still is still not the same the way she grew up and the way I grew up. Right. And so I always wanted to make sure that that was the case. And so if I ever did it, it wasn't because it was ill intention. It was because I know what that can do for you down the road. And I know that it will help you down the road. Like, now you're telling me that it's helping you right now. And we've had many conversations like this before that I've told you, you know, and I remember one time and I said, it's the same way, you know, there was a lot of stuff that, um, she saw us doing that. I talked to her, and she understands that we just do completely different than most people do. And I tell people, especially people that have kids, and I know you don't have any kids right now, but you're seeing it with Elena and with right with with. Yeah. Uh, the babies right now that you have to. Still in them? Yeah. You know, you can hand them down everything you want to help them. You know, you want to do things with them. Like the stuff that we did and. Yeah, the traveling and the sports and all that. But at the same time, you want them to be able to be independent. You want them to be get to a point in their lives where they're like, you know what, I can do this. I don't need anything. I don't even know what to do it. I'm going to go get it, and I'm going to earn it, and I'm going to do it right. And it's sad. But we do know some people that, you know, unfortunately they just don't have the same the same beliefs. And it shows in their kids. And again, we love them. Uh, but it's just two completely different ways of being able to achieve things in life, you know. And so there's there is a meaning behind all of that, you know, and maybe a lot of the times you don't see it. Um, but eventually you will, eventually you'll get it, you know, and the same thing in business, there's a lot of people today. You've seen them, right? They're very successful that I trained and they get on stage. And what's one of the things was one of the things that you always hear them say, exactly. What I just said is man at the he was yelling at me. He was telling me this and that, but I, I, you know, I realized down the road that, you know, he was right. Thank God he was tough on me. Yeah. Thank God he was straight. Thank God. I didn't like it at the beginning. I didn't like it at that time. But thank God, because that. What what did I do? What did that do to them? Did it help them and help become independent? It helped them grow, helped them become independent. You're right. And then now they look back and they're so glad they went through it. Yeah, it's the same thing, you know, it is the same thing how you raised leaders, right? How you help raise leaders in business is how you raise kids. I've never looked at it. I looked at obviously you guys not as a business, but I looked at the people that are that are in our business. Like if they were my kids, because a lot of them are younger than us. And I just want to make sure I help them. Yeah. You know, and so it's never with an ill intention. It's always with it's always with the intention of, um, not to say you grow right. And not to say that I haven't made mistakes. I, I there's a bunch of stuff I should have never said that. I said, yeah, uh, but you know what? It is what it is. And at the end it works out because they know that I care and I love about them. So. Yeah. That's better. Yeah. So, uh, man, what else can you tell us about yourself? I really don't have too much. Um, no, I don't. What are your goals? What are some of your goals? What are some of the things you see yourself doing and achieving here in the next? I mean, you've done a lot, like you said, in the last 2 or 3 years. So what about the next 2 to 3 years? Next 2 to 3 years? Um, I'm looking to pay off, you know, some some, some debt that I got there, right there that's been staring me down, but I know I will, um, that's done. And it's done. Yeah. And, um, but it's important that I, I, I, I brought that up because I, it goes back to that mindset that you said you could either look at, you know, like a, a goal that you have and you know, you could say, man, I don't know how I'm going to accomplish it or, you know, I don't know if I can do it where you instilled in us, then at least and I and, you know, it shows in your business now too. Is that you? Can look at it the opposite way, and then you can say, well, if I was able to do all of this, you know who says that I can't do this as well, right? You know, and so that's the that's the reason why I bring that up. Um, so we got that, um, obviously to grow the business even more, you know, help you out there. Um, I know, you know, I've been a little bit more hands on, maybe on the, the back side of the business, but, um, you know, I'm looking forward to being more on the front side of the business now. Um, I know I got some some projects on the way that I'm excited about. Um, that's really about it. I'm fixing up the house a little bit more. The next plan is to do, you know, the stairs and the upstairs and have all that straightened out. But that's. That's all I have planned for right now. I know we got a trip coming up here in August, so yeah, about that. But that's that's all I have on my mind right now. That's great. Those are great goals. And I think that's important to to set those goals and to get after them and to and you can look back and say, man, I achieved it. I did it just like you bought the car, paid it off within a year. Right. And then and and then you got the house and then now you're working on that and fixing it and making it better, which is a huge improvement so far in six months since you got in it. It's night and day. Yeah. That's great. So and so. Well, um. What else? Sense of humor. I think you got a great sense of humor, I think. I think you get my sense of humor. Yeah. I think there's times where people do things, and we looked at each other and we just. Without having to say anything, we just laugh, right? Because we're like, we we like, think the same mind sometimes and we're like, nothing needs to be said. It's just like, all right, enough. No words need to be said. But that's the one thing about you we shouldn't be during meetings, man. Anyways, two times we got in trouble. Yeah. Well, great. Well thank you. I appreciate you coming on today. It's going to be a, um, a short broadcast, a short podcast today, and, you know, a little introduction about you and, uh, people get to know you, but I just want to tell you that I'm very proud of you. Thank you. You're my pride. You're my joy. And I'm looking forward to seeing you grow. That's my son, you guys. I love you, son. Love you too. All right. See you guys. Love you. Bye bye.
