Sign up for the Tony Robbins free challenge and enjoy. Thank you for being on Habits and House. So I love your work and I want to actually ask you a question because I've heard your name for so many years, and this is real, and this is when we were actually
Starting point is 00:04:11 scheduling this, and yet I'm not 100% of what like your exact lane is. I heard that you are one of the best internet marketers on the planet and people come to you, all thought leaders come to you to help them with that. But then when I went into your background, you're also like a big real estate person and you're in the car business, right?
Starting point is 00:04:35 It sounds crazy. So it's all over the place. So I think it's really good place to start is why don't you kind of give us a little bit about who you are, your origin story, and we can go from there. Great, Jennifer.
Starting point is 00:04:47 And first off, pleasure beyond here. With having so many different things in businesses, I don't get as chance to do as many podcasts as I'd like to do. So it's fun when I get on with somebody and I know you're making a great impact out there. And those of you that are listening or watching, thank you for spending time with us. There's a million, you have a million options in today's world. But I promise if you spend the next 45, 60 minutes with us, I'm gonna do my best to deliver some capabilities
Starting point is 00:05:10 to help in this shifting world. So everything you said is true in just kind of different decades. It's in different decades. Okay. In my 20s, in my 20s, I owned a collision shop and an auto sales. And, you know, I started a very blue collar-esque. I I owned a collision shop and an auto sales. And I started a very blue collar-esque. I came from a family that didn't have much.
Starting point is 00:05:29 Lots of divorces. My mom and dad were married nine times between them. And I went right from high school, didn't go to college, and I went into fixing cars. And I fixed cars during the day, and I drive a tow truck at night, and then I got into my first apartment building. By the time I was 20, it was run down, and I built that, and then I got up to 20 apartments, and then I used the money from the collision shop to start building houses,
Starting point is 00:05:50 and then something changed. So that's like the first decade, the 20s. Right. But as I'm sure your listeners here, and I'm only going to tell my story to set a context for everybody, so you know who you're listening to. So please know, it's not about me, it's about you, if you're going to spend time with us, know a little bit about the frame I'm
Starting point is 00:06:07 going to look through. But I would bet to say the one thing I know 100% of us have in common today, if you're listening or watching, is you know you were meant for more. That's just, that's a common thread, right? We, we know you're listening to gain capabilities from Jennifer and Habitson Hussle because you're looking, is there something that could alter your life? Empower you, allow you to go faster towards who you're supposed to be, right? So the one thing that common world meant for more in my 20s, I started having some good success with real estate and cars and collision shop, but I just knew I was meant for more, right? We both of those voices, you should be happy,
Starting point is 00:06:44 you should be lucky with what you have. That's for other people and the other voice is like, hell no, you're supposed to do big, crazy, awesome shit, you know, and we got both of these voices inside of us. I had both those voices, so I'd bet to say we have that in common. And then in my 20s, I literally bought a course of an infomercial with Tony Robbins, personal power.
Starting point is 00:07:03 And I listened to personal power in my 20s. And man, he just spoke to me and I was just like, damn it, I am meant for more. I'm going to go for it. So think of that first decade of what you said. And then that second decade, I wanted to do what Tony Robbins did. I wanted to teach other people what I knew and be in that business. And at that point, I had done real estate and made me successful. So in my 30s, my late 20s and early 30s,
Starting point is 00:07:28 I taught people how to invest in real estate. I had to get in there, not multi-family, not strip malls, I taught people how to get into their first investment house. And through trial and error, we ended up in my 30s and some of my 40s, I taught real estate education and we became the biggest in the world. On teaching real estate, I've, you know, in New York Times bestselling book, real estate,
Starting point is 00:07:51 be a real estate millionaire, sold a million copies and that was in that era of my life. How many years, how old are you now? You look very young. You can pass from like 25 now. I'm 54. Wow, I think we should get into your like like, what you do for your healthy habits because you literally look like you look like you're 25 years old. That's amazing.
Starting point is 00:08:09 Yeah, no, I just turned 54 two months ago. But I gotta stay young because I have four kids and my youngest is two and a half months old. Oh, wow. Yeah, that's amazing. So, so in my 30s, that's what I did. And then I'll tell you the epiphany I had and tell you how I'm here today and partners with Tony Robbins.
Starting point is 00:08:30 And you know, that was the guy that inspired me and now he's my dearest friend and my partner. But as I was teaching people real estate, it's the same thing you've probably realized, Jennifer, and your journey in helping people is you could give somebody a strategy on how to sell $20 bills for 10 bucks. And still your mind will get in a way.
Starting point is 00:08:49 Old beliefs will get in a way, focusing on who's fault it is, focusing on the negatives, focusing on letting the outside world control you rather than you controlling the outside world. All the things that we've heard and you know setting goals and all the stuff like that. What I realized by the time I was in my mid-40s is, man, I don't care how well of a strategy. I can give someone the blueprint. But if we don't work on their mindset, then they'll just stay in this hypnotic rhythm,
Starting point is 00:09:15 this loop of drifting. Next opportunity, let's try this, let's try that. And it really, and it was the same time, Tony and I's friendship really started over a decade ago. And I was like, I want to go upstream. Yes, I love teaching people how to do real estate, but I want more people to have success. So I need to go upstream and start working on their mind.
Starting point is 00:09:33 Right? And then I wrote a book called Millionaire Success Habits that went on to sell about a million copies as well. And what I realized in that journey is if I don't obsess on their mindset, if I don't shift this, I can't get any success. But then one more piece. So now you're going to get the whole story about all the things you heard. Right. Is I realized that I can't help people unless I get them to buy from me. If they don't buy my book, if they don't buy my courses, if they don't get involved in coaching, if they don't go to a Tony Robbins event or an event Tony and I do together, I can't help change their lives if they're just a spectator. So for the last 20 years,
Starting point is 00:10:14 I've really obsessed on marketing. In my mind, I've turned marketing and sales into service. If I get someone to buy my book, I serve them. If they come to one of our events, I serve them. If they get one of our courses, I serve them. So I've shifted that and I have to say I have obsessed on marketing and sales probably more than anyone I've ever met in my life for the last 20 years obsessively for 10 and it's resulted in you know, we've done Tony and I have done events where we put a million people into an event his collective genius of what he does, my collective of marketing and that bond.
Starting point is 00:10:47 So that's the story of how you've heard all of it, because it's all true and it's kind of happened to decade at a time. And I have a lot of questions just from that. I love how you reframe that, right? Because I think that a lot of people get very uncomfortable with the word if they have to sell somebody or telling someone to buy something from them. So that's the stop is in the start, right? But you kind of, right? And you've
Starting point is 00:11:10 kind of like figured out a way to reframe it in your own mind. So when you are selling to somebody, you believe that you are giving that you are doing them a service. And I think- I've actually grown, I've grown to a part where I feel like I'm doing a disservice if they don't buy for me. Right. Because, and hear me now, especially, I know I'm going to take a quick little story, Jennifer, I think you'll like. But sales and marketing are the oxygen of every successful company in the world.
Starting point is 00:11:41 There is no such thing as I will create something so amazing, they will just come. You know, there was that movie with Kevin Costner, a field of dreams, if I build it, they will come. That is the biggest delusional, misbelief, wrong belief that has ever existed in the world, so I so many businesses fail. But my coaching is so good, they will come. My book is so good, they will come. Did you ever watch it walk into a Barnes and Noble? You want to hear a really horrible stat? Do you know much work goes into writing a book, if you've will come. Did you ever watch it walk into a Barnes and Noble? You wanna hear a really horrible step? Do you know much work goes into writing a book? If you've ever written one, you know.
Starting point is 00:12:08 It is brutal to write a book. Okay, so you know that tonight is my book launch at Barnes and Noble. Oh, congratulations. Congratulations. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so I'm actually leaving this interview to go to that right after. Okay, so then you know how brutal it is to write a book.
Starting point is 00:12:23 It's a gro- honestly, it's a grind. And people don't know about it. Okay, no then you know how brutal it is to write a book. It's a gr- I mean, honestly, it's a grind and people don't know. Okay, no. So, you're so happy. Yeah. So think about this, Jennifer. You worked so hard. You spent the last year edits, re-editing. It comes back from the editor like, no, you changed my voice. That's not what the hell I meant. And you're fixing and changing. And you're reading it to your husband, your friend, your family members, and you're trying to- and you get all this done. You put all the work, you're passion, your soul and you get all this done, you put all the work you're passionate, you're soul, and then people get done with the book and go, I'm done, that's really where the work begins.
Starting point is 00:12:50 Did you know it Barnes and Noble, walk in any store, hundreds of thousands of books. You wanna hear, I'm sorry if I'm gonna discourage you. No, no, no, please. 80% of those books sell less than 1,000 copies. Out of the 20% that sell over a thousand 80% of them sell less than 5,000 So when you look at that so many people wrote it and it's so good they will come no They won't they will not come and go into a Barnes and Noble you'll get a few sales tonight
Starting point is 00:13:21 You are gonna have to mark it your book or your words will never be read by all the people who need it. So I'm telling you right now, it's not about selling your book. You don't get to serve people with your words and your life experience, unless you put together a kick-ass marketing team or a kick-ass marketing campaign
Starting point is 00:13:40 and a sales campaign, because I promise you the publisher's not gonna do it. They're waiting for you to do it. Right. The oldest is always on the author, 100%. It's all about that. And this is actually, this could be a whole other podcast because this really is a big thing that I've been talking about a lot, just on like side bars and I've been doing it
Starting point is 00:13:58 on Instagram. But you're absolutely right. And every book you sell is a grind, period end of story, unless you have a really kick ass marketing plan. So let me ask you something, so you didn't go to college, right? And so that's the first thing. So the question I have for you is,
Starting point is 00:14:16 how did you get so good in this area? Like is it just from experience because you had to learn, you had to kind of be resourceful and have to kind of teach yourself, like trial and error. Like what is your, how did you become the person for this? Yeah, I would say, you know, you know, some of it could be like original operating equipment, like born that way. Hard to bear. I don't like to do anything, if I'm gonna do something I need to go all in,
Starting point is 00:14:48 and I don't wanna dabble, and I don't wanna be a statistic, and I don't wanna hear how most people fail. If I'm going in, I'm just going all in. So I find the why around it always, why do I wanna do this? The space I'm at in my life, I am 54, I do have four kids, I have a baby,
Starting point is 00:15:04 I'm married to the love of my life, I have all that, and why the hell am I working harder today than ever before? I'm blessed to be in a space where I never have to work again. I have an amazing life, I feel blessed and I'm working harder than ever before. It's because I found a purpose behind it. I truly want to impact lives. I truly want to help people like my mom who struggled when I was a kid. I want to deliver capabilities to people. I'm not changing people's life. I truly want to help people like my mom who struggled when I was a kid. I want to deliver capabilities to people. I'm not changing people's lives. I hope to be a spark or ignite a new passion
Starting point is 00:15:32 or give one tool that makes them shift the way they look at it and all of a sudden, they see opportunity rather than obstacles. That lights me up every day, so I find more energy. That's why I don't, I'm so grateful that you said I look younger. Some of it I don't think it's look, it's my energy. I think I have a, the energy of a 25-year-old
Starting point is 00:15:49 because I love what I do. Like today, I had a super busy day, but I knew I was doing this hour with you. Nothing else matters except this interview with you and hopefully even one person gets something today that shifts their life. Man, that fires me up. I'm gonna be full of energy. I don't need a coffee. I don't need because I love it. So it started with, I know my big reason why. I know the passion behind it. And I don't like to be freaking second best. And I also knew that the only way to be number one
Starting point is 00:16:17 is I could write the best books in the world. I could have the best courses in the world. If I don't learn to be a badass marketer, nobody's gonna freaking read them. So that connected really quick in the world, if I don't learn to be a badass marketer, nobody's going to freaking read them. So that connected really quick in my life, Jennifer, and I just said, I need to be a badass marketer, and you're right. I get off for $250,000 a day right now. I just did one five weeks ago in my office.
Starting point is 00:16:38 I don't have time for them. $250,000 a day to give marketing consultation. And, you know, that's what I get. I get $25,000 for one-hour phone call, and I got a line of people waiting for it, and I don't have time to do it. So I feel blessed to be able to say I can turn down 250 for a day, or $25,000 for an hour.
Starting point is 00:16:57 It's because I learn the skill that's really the frickin' it is the goal that the end of the rainbow. And here's the thing, there are good marketers who don't sell good stuff. And there is a lot of good stuff of people don't know how to market. You wanna know the secret to all of it? Create shit so good that you feel bad
Starting point is 00:17:15 if people don't have it, and then become a badass marketer and get it in their hands. That's when you have a, I have a 25 year brand. Tony Robbins has a 45 year brand, because we love people, we love our product, and we figured out how to market really well. And that's the magic of a long-term brand.

Starting point is 00:18:33 That's how I love that. Can you give me, I mean, since you are that expensive, I can't afford you normally. So while you're on this podcast, can you give us a few marketing tactics and tips that we can all use that maybe, you know, we can glean from you that we don't have to spend $250,000 a day on your fee? Yeah, so let me start with a mindset around it. If you don't mind, I have a theory. I know we're
Starting point is 00:19:02 only going to know each other here for like 50 minutes. Hopefully we get the chance. Who says? Maybe we could talk some other time too. But I always, my philosophy is, every where you see a thing that you wanna do, always think of the evolution of how do I go upstream to find the thing to make this better? Like, I heard an example once about how doctors are overwhelmed.
Starting point is 00:19:26 And it talked about a doctor pulls in, they don't have time to figure out how to treat the root cause. They just got to fix the symptom, they don't have time to dig in, right? And it talked about how doctors are so busy that a doctor pulls in the hospital and there's a stream by the hospital. And he sees somebody drowning,
Starting point is 00:19:42 and he runs out there and saves them. And then there's another one, and another one. And every time a new doctor pulls in the parking lot and the doctor park, and he sees somebody drowning and he runs out there and saves them. And then there's another one and another one. And every time a new doctor pulls in the parking lot and the doctor parking, he's like, come on, come help me, come help me. All of a sudden there's 20 doctors pulling all these people out of the out of the stream. One doctor pulls in, he sees it and he goes to take off. And like, hey fool, why are you taking off?
Starting point is 00:19:59 Help us. He said, I'm going to drive upstream and see who's throwing these people in and stop them. And it's just a different philosophy. So many of us are trying to save what's in front of us. And if we just take a moment and go upstream, we could solve this problem. So you asked me that question, I'm going to give you what I think is the best answer of going upstream.
Starting point is 00:20:19 So I was doing a conference with, there was like 5,000 business women. All women, amazing crowd. These women were on fire and I want to go to another level. I want more and I said, who in here doesn't like sales or a little apprehensive. And like 90% of the women raised their hand. And I said, okay, so this is the problem. So I said, okay, raise your hand. So I picked a woman in the second row. She stands up.
Starting point is 00:20:44 I said, tell me what you do. She's like, I coach moms through trimester four. She goes, I had no idea when you have a baby. After you have the baby, you still look pregnant. Your hormones are all messed up. You've realized your life isn't your own anymore. I was losing my mind. I was coming unglued and she goes,
Starting point is 00:21:01 I did these five things. Yoga and she named them all. And I got me out of this funk. I felt beautiful again. I was proud to be a mom. And now I help women get out of trimester 4 and get them on track. I said, oh my God, do you love it? She goes, oh my God, I love it. I watch these women transform. I said, tell me about something. She's like, oh, I'll tell you about Mary. And she told me this story.
Starting point is 00:21:14 And she thought her husband was going to leave her. And she felt crazy. She goes, within five weeks, she looked beautiful. She felt a lot. So I said, do I said, but you don't like that? I said, do you love it? I said, do you love it? I said, do you love it?
Starting point is 00:21:24 I said, do you love it? I said, do you love it? I said, was gonna leave her and she felt crazy. She goes, within five weeks, she looked beautiful. She felt alive. So I said, do I said, but you don't like marketing and I watched her whole like, oh, like her shoulders went for us like, no, I feel bad. So I said, I wanted to shock her on purpose. I said, why are you screwing women over? And she's like, I don't understand.
Starting point is 00:21:42 I'm helping them. I said, no, you're screwing them over. I said, because right now, because you're afraid to market, because you're afraid to put yourself out there, there's women suffering in silence. They don't know what to do with themselves. And I said, the only two things that can happen because you're afraid to put yourself out there is they do nothing and they suffer alone. And you figured out a damn strategy to get out of it. Or secondly, they buy off of some slick marketer who doesn't have the care and the love that you have. So either way, you are screwing these women over.
Starting point is 00:22:13 I said, what if today you realized that you're doing a disservice by not putting yourself out there, that you won't, by putting yourself out there, you're stopping the suffering, that you get to fall in love with your clients, you get to help them give a path, you give them the strategy, you wish someone gave you sooner because you had to figure it out. And I watched, the tears came out and I watched 5,000 women, I just happened to be in a space that day,
Starting point is 00:22:35 just changed their whole philosophy on marketing forever. I mean, they cheered, I said, who's afraid to market now? Not one hand went up, I was just in a space and I said, yes, I wanna to teach you tactics and strategies today. But if you don't have that philosophy first, that you are doing a service, that you must get them to say yes.
Starting point is 00:22:52 And if people don't pay, they usually don't pay attention. There's a lot of free shit on YouTube. Why aren't people using it? Because they didn't pay for it. Right? You cut a check, you're like, oh, I paid for this book. I am reading it. The book's free.
Starting point is 00:23:04 I'll get to it next week, right? That's true. You start the philosophy with, if I don't learn how to get their credit card, I'm not helping them. I'm doing them a disservice. And then you start, the second thing I would say is what people do wrong. Sometimes we find our own narrative, right? We think we, hey, I wrote this book. This is what people do wrong. Sometimes we find our own narrative, right? We think we, hey, I wrote this book,
Starting point is 00:23:27 this is what they need. And the thing that I always tell myself, and I would say, Jennifer, incorporate this is, people buy from you when they feel understood, not when they understand you. Most people go on stage, most people do presentations, you do a book at Barnes & Noble. It's like, understand me, I went through this,
Starting point is 00:23:48 I went through this, I lost everything, I started this book, I started this podcast, I did this, and now I have this, and now I have that. And my relationship is good, and my kids are good. People admire that, but they don't buy from that. People buy, you've seen the difference. You ever watch a speaker, you're like, oh, that was cool. And then another speaker, you're like, oh, my was cool. And then another speaker, you're like,
Starting point is 00:24:05 oh my God, she gets me. You're writing notes as fast as you can. One, made you understand them. The other one made you feel understood. And when you market and somebody on the outside goes, damn, this girl, Jennifer, freaking gets me. Is she looking at my journal? You win.
Starting point is 00:24:23 You win. So people buy from you when they understand, not when they understand when they feel understood, not when they understand you. Secondly, you have to meet people where they are. Enter conversations that are already going on in their mind. So many people are trying to sell you something that they think you need. I know this sounds like marketing 101, but most people miss it. I watch it every day.
Starting point is 00:24:48 People don't buy what they need. Everybody hear me. No one buys. Who needs to go to the gym more? Who needs to stop drinking three glasses a night? Who needs to stop eating too much bread? You don't do any of that shit. Excuse my language until you want to.
Starting point is 00:25:04 You could need to quit smoking. You don't quit smoking until that shit, excuse my language, until you want to. You could need to quit smoking. You don't quit smoking until you want to quit smoking. You don't become more of an active listener with your spouse until you want to become an active listener with your spouse. We all need to do a lot of crap. And what happens, I watch most people in their presentations
Starting point is 00:25:20 like they're saying it in a way like you need this, you need this, you need this. But if that conversation isn't going on in your mind and you don't want it you don't give a crap if you excuse me if you're not ready to go to the gym I don't care what I say about you needing this gym membership you are not buying it so you have to meet people where they are and enter conversations going on in their mind now the last thing I'll say for everybody is, think about this, Jennifer, at your house, with your friends, your family,
Starting point is 00:25:50 are you having the same dinner conversations today as you did even just six months ago? It's different, right? It depends, yeah, I've got two small things. When it comes to the economy, possible recession, where business is going, right? Before the pandemic, to the economy, possible recession, where business is going, right, before the pandemic, after the pandemic, before inflation, after inflation,
Starting point is 00:26:11 before a recession, after a recession, polarization, you know, the super right, the super left illness, we should all hate each other when I feel like we're way more in common than people try to say in the media, conversations are different, but in most cases, people will keep their same narrative based on what they think you need.
Starting point is 00:26:29 Oh, you need my book. You need it because of this. It's like, no, no, no, enter where they are. Do you feel people are going into 2023 a little more uncertain than they've been in a really long time? Where is the economy going? What is going to happen?
Starting point is 00:26:40 Are we going to go into a recession? Will it rebound, right? If people are uncertain and we need to go into a recession? Will it rebound? Right? If people are uncertain and we need to meet them where they are, right? So people right now kind of want safety and security. Three years ago, no one gave a crap about safety and security. The economy was going straight up. They were aspirational. They wanted the second house and the speedboat. Now they want to make sure that they can pay their mortgage, right? So we need to meet people where they are and enter conversations they're already having,
Starting point is 00:27:07 let them feel understood and help them see that what you have is what they want. That's what I mean, these are really great tips. And I think you're meeting me and my audience, I'm hopefully where we are because you're giving us tactical things that are important. My question is, I think another problem is that we have a lot of information overload, right? Like we have so many different thought leaders. We
Starting point is 00:27:32 are just bombarded with people who are doing these sales funnels, saying that they have the answer, that they're meeting us where we are, they're giving us what they believe is the best program. How do people decipher between what is good and what is not? And when something is a really great marketing scheme versus a really great product, because there's a lot of great sales people, state oil salesmen, who are selling a lot of garbage. True story, and I've been in this industry for 26 years, and I've been watching them come and go for 26 years and I watch them. I've been watching them come and go for 26 years Right, and they'll rip off your marketing funnel and use the same, you know
Starting point is 00:28:09 Because especially if Tony and I do a big launch all of a sudden six months later. I'll see 20 copycats, right? Right, well more than 20. I mean that's the problem. It's way more than 20 it's hundreds and thousands now Yeah, and here's what I'd say is if you're in this business, you just have to be the true authentic you. There's a book that I absolutely love. Agmin Dino's book, The World's Greatest Salesman. If you never read it, read it. It's like two and a half hours long.
Starting point is 00:28:36 And he's got ten scrolls. And scroll number two is, now this is going to sound, some of you might find this a little far-fetched, but it changed my life. And before I read the book, I only read the book in the last year of my life, but I've been marketing this way for a long time. Scroll number two is, I will greet this day with love. And the whole essence of this six-minute scroll or chapter is that don't just love what you do.
Starting point is 00:29:04 Fall in love with your client. Fall in love with your client. Fall in love with their results. And fall in love with whatever it is you're selling them. And I don't mean like. I mean fall in love with them like they're your family. And that authenticity is hard to fake. And people can see through it. And I truly believe that people who buy my books
Starting point is 00:29:24 are become part of our courses or take one of our challenges like we're doing here in a couple of weeks, I truly believe people feel that authenticity. They feel the depth of caring. And when I sell to them or they buy a book, we over-deliver it every level possible because I truly have found a way to fall in love
Starting point is 00:29:42 with my clients, to fall in love with their results, and to fall in love with my product. And I think if I watch through the years, the people who've made it more than 26 or 35 months of just schlepping some or hocking some product, it's the ones that truly care, not the ones that pretend to care. So that's if you're selling, fall in love with your client. On the opposite side, I would say really understand if people have the depth and the breadth. Do have they walked the walk that they're saying. You see a million coaches that they get off a jet they probably chartered with a watch that they spent every dollar they have on and telling you how to get rich overnight. Just do a little research. Did they really start a business?
Starting point is 00:30:25 Did they run a business? Are they just someone talking about it? Or do they actually do it? And then I would see, I would find a way to get into a forum or get on their social media and see how they reply. I'm not, listen, I feel blessed to financially I'm doing better than I ever could have imagined possible. I get to do things I never thought I could do.
Starting point is 00:30:47 And I see, I'm gonna share this, so please know I'm not judging. I just really want you to hear this, I'm not judging. I have my own plane, I've had it for years, and it's a big one, and I get to fly over the world wherever I wanna go. I could jump on my plane here and fly to Europe without stopping. I am blessed.
Starting point is 00:31:01 You will never see. You will never see me post a picture of my plane on social media ever. I live in my dream house. 16,000 square foot house, I live in, I've never said, look at my house. That's not me and I'm not saying, and it sounds like I was humbly bragging.
Starting point is 00:31:19 I'm not. That's just not who I want people to know me in my heart. How much I care, my depth of knowledge, my information. Follow me because of what I'm trying to do in your life, not because, because anybody could film in front of a jet. Anybody could film in front of a big house. Anybody could fake a freaking watch and do it. But if I speak to your heart,
Starting point is 00:31:39 if you know that I love you, the results you get, you'll stay with me. So what I'd say is be careful for the flash, right? And look for somebody that resonates with you. Now I see you and I both see a lot of people out there with the planes and the this and the that, and they have a lot of followings. If that aligns with you, then I say you should do it, please, I'm not criticizing that. That's just not my tribe, my tribe, the people follow me.
Starting point is 00:32:04 Don't know. What I just shared, I never share that. I'm only sharing it because I want people to follow me for my words and my actions. And I would just find somebody who aligns with you and easy, just go to their social media and see how they reply. See what they say. If you want that, then that's who you should follow.
Starting point is 00:32:22 And just make sure that they really built that wealth of something they did not just showing it so they could get money from you. I think that's the only thing you can do. How did you become partners with Tony? So you said you went to his seminar. How did you create a situation where you guys became partners? And what are you guys partners in specifically? Are you just 50, 50 on lots of different things? You have a fund. What do you guys do?
Starting point is 00:32:49 Yeah, great question. So I did by Tony's course, often in commercial, I don't know, 25 years ago. And then about 12 years ago, a mutual friend introduced us. And we are going to meet for a half hour and we end up spending the whole day together. And we just had so much in common. His mom and my dad are like the same human being.
Starting point is 00:33:06 We struggled in the same classes. We, I mean, it was scary how similar everything was. And we're like, and Tony had meetings booked all days. I canceled the next one. Then canceled the next one. He ended up canceled the whole day. And we really hit it off and became dear friends. And then I watched so many people trying to do business with Tony that I said, I am not, I'm doing great,
Starting point is 00:33:26 I'm financially, my business doing good, I am not doing business with Tony because everybody is trying to get a piece of his list or endorsement, I'm like, man, this guy changed my life, I just wanna be his bud. So we spent about six years just building a really incredible friendship. Never doing anything, never doing anything,
Starting point is 00:33:44 no business at all. Golf together twice a year, meet up, talk, we literally talk almost every single day, till still to this day. And about five years ago, we decided to teach people what we do, right? Because there were so many people trying to build a course, or be a coach, or write a book,
Starting point is 00:34:07 and there were so many people just teaching crappy stuff. What you said earlier, and Tony has 45 years of doing this. I have 25 years. Together, we have 70 years doing this. So about five years ago, we're like, why don't we just pull back the curtain and teach people how we are in the self-education industry, how we took our knowledge, sell it to people,
Starting point is 00:34:25 impact their lives and grow a brand. So, we partnered with a company called Mastermind, we own Mastermind.com and we've done some amazing launches and that company went from zero to, I think we're probably the biggest in the space and we have a tribe and 160 countries doing amazing learning how to sell what they know, writing books and building courses and becoming coaches. So we started with that and that business took off. And then we invested in some other companies together and then COVID came. And Tony's been in the live event business for 45 years and all of a sudden there was
Starting point is 00:34:57 no live events. So as a friend he said to me, brother, I don't know, we can't do live events, we got to cancel all of them, what do we do? And my expertise in marketing and online, I went over to Tony's company, he asked me to be CEO and president, and I just, I did it as a favor, but we converted his in-person company to a virtual company. And so now I've been helping run that company. So that was you who did that.
Starting point is 00:35:22 Oh, okay, okay, yeah. So we built that studio where you could see thousands of people. We converted, we started doing challenges, and we converted that. So we took Tony's greatest brand in the world, and my marketing strategies, and we married him in his baby, RRI, Robyn's research in and his company, his baby, I helped him just convert to virtual. So I've been there about two and a half years helping run that company forum as well. And now we get to do cool things like I said, we're doing a challenge next week.
Starting point is 00:35:52 I think we'll probably have 800,000 people show up. Vitamin water just dropped a new zero sugar flavor called with love. Get the taste of raspberry and dark chocolate for the all-warm, all fuzzy, all self-care, zero self-doubt you. Grab a with love today. Vitamin water's zero sugar, nourish every you. Vitamin water is a registered trademark of glass O. And so you're doing this free challenge, right? Next. So before I even talked to you about the upcoming free challenge, because I'm curious about it, you said earlier that when you give somebody something for free, they don't take it seriously. So why are you doing a free challenge?
Starting point is 00:36:37 Yeah, so I'll tell you why. So about four years ago, I said, the Tony, you know, he is the busiest guy you'll ever meet. And he's hustling harder than ever before and doesn't need to. He just wants to impact as many lives as he can before he leaves the surf. I mean, that's when people say, me, why is that crazy bastard work so hard? I'm like, he wants to change as many lives as humanly possible before he dies. Like, I don't know any other way to say it. The guy is driven. We talk
Starting point is 00:37:02 every night. He leaves me a message about 4 a.m. every day, he goes to bed about four, I wake up at 4.30. So we do, he does a voice memo at the end of the day at four, I get it about 4.35 and replies. So we do a voice memo pretty much seven days a week every single day and everybody's like, why are you two work so hard because it's a dicting? Right.
Starting point is 00:37:21 So that's number one. Number two, when the world shifted, I said, tone, so many people know you, but so many new generation of people. They're like, oh, Tony, the ra ra guy or the fire walker guy. That's right. It's a tall guy, the shallow howl guy. I'm like, let's do something you've never done before. Let's do something free to introduce what you do to a new demographic.
Starting point is 00:37:47 And it was kind of a hard thing for him to do it first. He's like, I've just never done free, Dean, just never in 45 years. I'm like, let's try it. And it went so well. And here's the crazy part. 70% of everybody who came to the challenge was brand new. They weren't a part of Tony's world. And 63% were women.
Starting point is 00:38:04 And all of a sudden, since we've been doing these free events, the demographic of Tony's company went from about 60% men to about 62% women. It was an older demographic. Now it's the 30 to 50s that are coming in. And this free challenge has given people that never would have been exposed to Tony. In 180 countries, the ability to go,
Starting point is 00:38:25 let me take a test drive with Tony Robbins and the guy can't help himself but to over-deliver. So it's five days about two and a half hours a day. Sometimes he goes three and a half hours a day, but he goes all in. Like he's been prepping for this for, I don't know, nine weeks, he will over-deliver in Russia, and there's a whole new group of people go,
Starting point is 00:38:43 I need more of this guy. You know, Tony, he came on this podcast. It was, I think, was for that first virtual of, what was that called, that event during COVID or? Oh, yeah, the comeback challenge. Was it the comeback? Yeah, I think it was that. Yeah, and I had a lot of people who were like, who knew who he was, but they didn't really know who, like they weren't followers, they were like, DM me after, because of the thing. I think alone, I must have sent a few hundred ladies there
Starting point is 00:39:12 and men there, because it's true. Like I think in markets are different, like in person versus virtual, and then you have to keep on expanding and growing. But so you're saying in a situation like this, where you give something for free to introduce people to something. So that's a different mechanism.
Starting point is 00:39:36 Yeah, and the other thing too is the reason we call that a challenge is because we challenge people to do something every day. And really the way we frame it is if you're not paying, then you pay us back by taking uncomfortable action. So every day at the end of the challenge, Tony challenges somebody to take an action they never would have taken before. Go in the Facebook book and go live and share that belief that held you back, that'll never
Starting point is 00:40:01 held you back. So people are taking this uncomfortable action every day and they feel like they're paying. So we found ways to subtly get them to commit. And I think it's a really great way to get people to preview and understand who you are. So do you give them that accountability piece basically by keeping them? We do. We do. Because when it's virtual, and I know this from my world,
Starting point is 00:40:25 you know, it's very, very difficult because when someone hangs up or stops doing this type of interaction, they're very easily able to be like, okay, next and then like move on. How do you keep them virtually accountable for a challenge? Yeah, so I think, I think is entering people's conversation, meeting what they are, letting them understand that you know them. And I think a lot of it is, meeting what they are, letting them understand that you know them. And I think a lot of it is it's great marketing to get them there. And then it's great content to keep them there.
Starting point is 00:40:53 And it goes back to what I said earlier. It's like, you got to market like a badass and then you got to deliver so good that they can't click off. Like, I believe when we do challenges, people like, I can't leave. Honey, shut the door. You're watching the kids. I am not missing a second of this. And that's how, that's the experience Tony and I both look through is like, how do you make it so good
Starting point is 00:41:12 that they're like, I'm not making dinner tonight, I am watching this entire thing, so fend, go do postmates. Right, right, right, right. So when you did that, when you were the one who were kind of overseeing and created this whole challenge virtually, right? How did his business or your business with him grow? Did it grow exponentially?
Starting point is 00:41:31 Like was your revenue like 100x, 20x? Yeah, then it was. Yes, significantly. Tony's been in business for 45 years and last year and the year before with the two best years in 45 year history. Unbelievable. We need to get more deans around the world here helping people. Oh my gosh. So what is what is this event and this challenge about? This is called you said that unshakable challenge. Is that what you call them? Yeah, become unshakable. Tony loves that word. He's got a book.
Starting point is 00:42:00 A name is because you know, in times like this, your confidence is cut. When people are uncertain, your confidence is, when people are uncertain, their confidence is down. And you can't approach anything in life unless you're bold and confident. And that's why he loves the word, unless you're unshakable. If you're letting the outside world control you, I know this is a silly analogy, but think of the difference between a thermostat and a thermometer, right? When the world is crazy on the outside, if you're the thermometer, it's like,
Starting point is 00:42:25 bad day, good day. Oh my God, you see what happened? You see the economy. You see stock market, see interest rates. Oh my God, you see what the president said? You see what the old president said. Oh my God, you're the thermometer, compared to someone who has certainty
Starting point is 00:42:36 and they're unshakable. It's like, they're the thermostat. I'm adjusting the temperature. You might see obstacles in a shifting economy, I see opportunity. You might see what you've lost I'm gonna see what I've gained Right, and it just as subtle as that sounds most people look through the wrong Lenses and they're waiting for someone else to fix it
Starting point is 00:42:57 They're waiting for things to get better and they wait their whole lives So the reason we're called unshakable is because Tony's just got a five-day process that take you through a journey of Understanding your identity understanding your belief, your story, how to match it in today's shifting world, how to build relationships, and how to thrive in this new world and you leave with a blueprint. It's an amazing five days and he gets passionate about it and that's why we're calling it unshakable. How do you start? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:22 No, I was going to say, how do you sign up? Just go to TonyRotter. Yeah, if you've got to become unshakeable.com. Okay. And here's what I'd say. It's January 24th through the 28th. Your life is worth two hours a day. Like literally come, if you've never listened to Tony, this is your chance to preview him for free. This is a guy that's got a laundry list of people that want to pay him a million dollars a year for a once a month call. And he can't afford the time to do it. So you get this guy
Starting point is 00:43:50 who's coached every living president. He's coached half of the professional sports teams that you don't even know from the Golden State Warriors to every other team you could possibly imagine. And the top financial experts in the world, the Ray Dalias, the Paul Tudor Jones that manage trillions of dollars and billions of dollars. You get a chance to preview this guy and he comes at it from a heart. He doesn't speak over your head. I'll be speaking on day five.
Starting point is 00:44:16 We have Jamie Kern Lima, who built cosmetics. She went from Denny's waitress to selling her, she's gonna be there because she has a great strategy for becoming unshakable. But really, it's mostly Tony. It's Tony giving you the blueprint on how to make 2023 an amazing year. So I'd say two things. I'd say, commit the time. Go to become unshakable.com.
Starting point is 00:44:39 Reserve a spot. And then what I do, and I tell everybody to do this, take the link and text it to someone in your life that could be your accountability partner. Go through it with somebody else, whether they're sitting next to you or on the other side of the country, get them to go through it and then at the end of each day call, say, all right, what are you going to be held accountable to? What changes are you going to make? What part of what Tony said are you going to share?
Starting point is 00:44:59 And I promise you, I've just watched the results of these challenges. If you spend, you know, two hours a day, it'll change your life. And then the purpose is, I mean, I would imagine, you can tell me, what is the percentage of people that upsell to do date with destiny or any of the other big programs? Yeah, I'll tell you exactly what we do. We offer simply just UPW, unleash the power within. That'll be offered in a subtle way on day three and day five at the best price ever I mean, it's a ridiculous price to go and and here's the definition of
Starting point is 00:45:33 of a good challenge people come and they buy UPW and They change your life forever or people come and they don't buy UPW But they got so much value they appreciate Tony and these strategies for the rest of their life. The part where people get upset is, if it's just you come and it's like, oh, I dedicated a time, it was a two hour pitch fest. I hate that word pitch fest and totus Tony.
Starting point is 00:45:56 So that's why you won't even see an offer until the end of day three and Tony doesn't even make it. Tony just teaches and it's a subtle offer, but so many people upgrade because they see what they got in five days over two hours a day and they imagine four days of complete immersion at an event. So the uptake is unbelievable and it'll end up resulting in the biggest UPW's ever, which is in March. It's amazing to me because now everybody is like a is a close second, let's say, to Tony Robbins, right? It is amazing to me that he's still with all these years,
Starting point is 00:46:32 all these people trying to emulate him. He truly is like the best in that space. There's nobody who's more like, there's no one better. There really is. He's the, he's the, he's the goat. He is the greatest of all time. And not even by like, there's nobody in close seconds. It's not even a, yeah. And there's a million other people doing it. Like, it's not like Tony. And then, yeah, it's unbelievable. Like after, there's so many wannabes and you, it's unbelievable. And there's, it's like a different, he's just, he has an innate talent to connect to people in a way that I've never seen a human being being able. When he goes on and see.
Starting point is 00:47:11 And the other thing too, doing it for 46 years, you wouldn't imagine, I'm not kidding you. He will prep for a week straight, like he's never, he's been doing UPW, unleashed power within for 40 years. And he will prep for a week straight, obsessively not sleep. You think 40 years, he just pops out there
Starting point is 00:47:28 and does what he does. He takes each of it personal. He'll read comments and he'll be like, what are people feeling right now? How do I serve them right now? How do I adjust this one little thing so it anchors right now? Like no one would ever imagine the work this guy puts in
Starting point is 00:47:43 and how much he truly beats up his own body because he cares so much. I mean, the guy will go on stage for 10 hours without coming off to take a piss. I know. No, no, no, no, believe me. I've had people who've like, who heard him on here actually, who DM me later, who ended up up selling and buying these, like, I don't even know what they're called, like, these year programs are like very expensive.
Starting point is 00:48:04 They're going to feed you, they're doing this. They're doing that. They're like, I had no idea who we even was. And all of a sudden now, they're spending a fortune, quite frankly, on them. But because, like, nobody's been able to, like, resonate as well as now. And you really could tell that the guy cares.
Starting point is 00:48:20 And then you go to his course, you're like, I feel like I ripped Tony off. Like, people don't feel like, oh, I got underserved. They're like, I feel like I ripped Tony off. Like people don't feel like, oh, I got underserved, they're like, wow, this is the greatest investment on my life. That's what I love being his partner because people go and they're like, thank you for pushing me to go to that event.
Starting point is 00:48:36 Do you know that I've never actually been to a live event ever, ever? I've seen the virtual, but that's it. Well, here, I'll tell you right now, definitely show up for the challenge. You're gonna absolutely love it. He's gonna light it up this year. But if you wanna go to a live event, you're my guest.
Starting point is 00:48:54 So you just reach out to my team and you can be our guest at Tony's event. Don't forget that you said that, dude, because I'm gonna be following up. I'm not, you have my assistant, Thumber. When you wanna go, you let me know and I'll make sure you get a ticket to go. I was going to say, I wanted to go to this one last time.
Starting point is 00:49:09 I was supposed to go to a friend of mine who got invited, and I couldn't go because of this book situation, right? So, which, so let me ask you something. So, out of the people who do the program, because I get this question a ton. What is the percentage of people that actually stay motivated to kind of after the whatever, not the challenges, but overall the programs? How many, what's that percentage of people who are actually? No, it's really cool. Yeah. That's a great question. So Tony had a study done that, oh my God, I'm going blank here for a second on what? Mike, find out what the study was, what company, what college did the study on Tony.
Starting point is 00:49:58 But they did a study originally to say, who's this guy, jumping up and down, going to an event. And they did a blind study with like 50 people who attended the event and they originally in my belief that originally did it to say see this isn't working and They compared it to a placebo they compared it to medication. They compared it to everything Nothing was remotely close the percentage of people a year later that weren't depressed, that were on fire, that found a difference, they a year later,
Starting point is 00:50:29 no placebo, no medicine even came remotely close to the results people had after attending. I think they went to date with destiny and they modeled these people. It had such powerful results that it flipped them all. And they went from, what is the, oh my God, what are you doing? And they're doing another study with another blind like 200 people.
Starting point is 00:50:49 Literally, it was, the numbers were off the charts because Tony is not about, that's why I did that, you know, that documentary, I'm not your guru, it's not about motivation. He hates, if somebody said, oh Tony's a motivational speaker, he freaking hates that. He said, no, I'm not a motivational speaker. I go inside and give you tools so you can find the best version of you.
Starting point is 00:51:10 Tony's just the spark and a guy that gives you a framework that he really does climb into your soul. I mean, you'll see it when you go to the event. He climbs in, it's like readjust things, and then you got this anchor that you can lean on forever. Yeah, no, it's funny. Before you came on a girlfriend of mine who I told her about him after I saw this, did this whole, she goes to every now, she goes to every single one of these events, everywhere around. She just came back from the date with Destiny.
Starting point is 00:51:39 It is remarkable. And so for people who are listening, this is not just us talking to tell you, this upcoming challenge, it is free. You guys should listen and go because you'll get something out of it. There's no way you don't get something from it, right? That could be beneficial. Absolutely. What why do you think, and we can like wrap pretty soon,
Starting point is 00:51:58 I know it's getting tight on time for both of us, why do you think people don't typically stay with their, it's like new, it's right now it's January, everyone has new resolutions, new year, new you, whatever, they fall off. Like is it because they have the lack of accountability, the lack of a plan, a program in your opinion? Yeah, I think we live, I mean, it's always been that way, but I think right now we live in such an instant gratification world. We want instant results. And when people don't get it, they drift to the next thing and drift to the next thing.
Starting point is 00:52:29 In that book, I'm referring back to Agmin Dino's book. Another chapter is, I will persist until I succeed. And I think that word persist is the only word in the English language that guarantees your success. If you keep persisting, eventually you get the result you want. Most people give up too early. But there was something he said in the book that always sticks with me. And he said, the prize is not at the beginning of the journey.
Starting point is 00:52:53 The prize is at the end of the journey. And we don't know how many corners we have to go around until that success is there. And it's not us, the judge. Some people might invent something the first time they try and become wealthy and sell it and you admire And some other person has to go through 27 failures to finally find that next level and it and it just said if we don't It's not our job to know how many corners we have to go around We just have to keep persisting until we succeed. I think if you combine Modeling someone who knows success
Starting point is 00:53:26 with persistence, there's no way you can't get there. And I think what Tony does really well is climbs inside to get you like, I need to finally do this. I'm sick of dabbling, I'm sick of wishing, I'm sick of complaining, I'm sick of thinking someone else is gonna come save me. No one's coming to save us, it's on us.
Starting point is 00:53:43 And I think those that stick are the ones that realize, shit, this is on me. I'm going to model what this guy told me to do, but I have to do the work. So if you're willing to model success and do the work, I don't think there's any better place you could be. So that's a great answer. One other question, because I started this podcast with saying that I really kind of knew who you were, quite honestly. I knew the Tony Robbins connection too, but it's because I felt like you were the
Starting point is 00:54:10 go-to guy for all this marketing set that you've been talking about. So how do you help other people, if they're not paying 250 a day or 25,000 an hour, is there another way that you can help people? Absolutely. Like all those other people, I know that your friends with Ed Myled and all these other people, do you, are they clients of yours as well or? No, some of them are just friends and it's reciprocal. Okay. You know, and I love, I love people who truly care.
Starting point is 00:54:39 Like, Ed Myled truly cares about people as well. So I hope that guy is much as possible and we become dear friends. So, you know, Brendan Bershards, a dear friend, and Jenna Kutcher became a dear friend, and I helped her and consulted with her a little bit and helped her as much as I could. Yeah, so summer friends, and that's why we create courses.
Starting point is 00:54:58 Tony and I created a course called Project Next, and I don't have a link, and I'm not trying to sell it, but Project Next has gone on to sell tens and tens of thousands of people, and it lays out a marketing plan, it lays out how to sell more of your books, or if you create a course or a coaching program, that whole course is created to show somebody not only what to sell, how to really serve people, but then how to market it in a way that you need to market to get the results you want. So I think that's why that course is probably the best selling, you know, how to sell what you know course that's ever been created. Or people can become dear friends of yours and then they can get you all the time.
Starting point is 00:55:32 That's the other way too. Wow. Okay, and the other thing you said is mastermind.com. Tell people what that is just for people who weren't familiar with what that is. Yeah, that's part of the same thing with our course is mastermind.com is a place where you can get it out there. It's a platform to launch your course or sell your ebook or sell your coaching program. We just wanted to create a real simple way. Mostly for beginners, the hardest part is getting your first sale.
Starting point is 00:55:58 So everything we've created with Project Nex helps. Those in the game go faster. I mean, Lewis Houses uses so much of what I taught him, right? And then there's people, and Jenna Kutcher uses so much, but then there's the majority are 65% women who've been dying to sell something, how to be better on Etsy, how to fix your love life, how to be better at yoga, how to eat vegan,
Starting point is 00:56:19 and they just been dying to sell something, didn't know how, and we really help that new group get their course and their program out to the world. So you don't have a mastermind that you're involved with or like do you have your own mastermind? We just started a mastermind for people that are in business ready to go to that next level. So we just started that recently called the Legacy Mastermind. I've been putting that off for a while. I used to, I always have had masterminds.
Starting point is 00:56:47 Just the last three years of running Tony's company in my company and having a new baby. And we have a two and a half year old and a two month old and so I've just kind of been putting it off but we just launched something we call our Legacy Mastermind and we'll probably have a higher level mastermind in about a year from now. Wow, you're busy.
Starting point is 00:57:05 How do you have time to do all this stuff? Yeah, great teams and I'm passionate about it. Wow, well, actually this has been very informative. You've given us some great tips and tricks, which I love. I love things that are practical that people can actually use in their life. It's for entrepreneurs a lot.
Starting point is 00:57:23 Well, a lot of entrepreneurs who listen. So it's basically a free program starting in January 24th, people should try it out. And everyone here, remember what Dean said, I'm gonna be his guest to the next, to the next, at least a moment. Yeah, at least about, or date with death, it was a difference between date with death.
Starting point is 00:57:45 Yeah, date with death, the only happens once a year and it just happened last week, two weeks ago. Damn. Okay, and when's the next one that unleashed the power with it, how often are those all the time? There's one in March, July, and November, there's one in person in Dallas, Texas. Okay, and the next date with death
Starting point is 00:58:02 in the next year, basically. Yeah, next December. All right, I'm gonna hold you to that, and I'm gonna come back on the next date with Destiny is next year, basically. Yeah, next December. All right, I'm gonna hold you to that. And I'm gonna come back on your birthday. So you're my guest, that's either one of them, so. You'll get to choose. Thank you. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:58:12 And Dean, tell us about you. Tell us where they can find you if they want any questions or want to follow you. Do you have all your social, obviously you do, I saw it. But please tell people. Yeah, you can go to Instagram at Dean Grazio, see on Instagram, probably a great spot to get started. And then if you look at the link,
Starting point is 00:58:27 there's a couple different links of books and free, free, I do a Monday live, it's free. So I would say go to social, go to, go to at Dean Graziocy on Instagram. And we want to know one end to aging secret from you because you look so young. One, what do you do? What is your daily habit?
Starting point is 00:58:43 You've got to tell me. Oh, that's, that's funny. I liked every morning I love to spend just a few minutes on, on the winds of the day before and the wind that I wanted to have that day, a little bit of gratitude within minutes. Then I've been drinking a green drink with MCT oil and some apple cider vinegar. I've been drinking that same thing for like 20 years and then I immediately go workout. So I've been doing that for, I don't know, 20 years. I think youth comes from, I truly believe your success comes from your beliefs
Starting point is 00:59:15 and I also think youth does. I just refuse to allow myself to have any less energy at 54 than I had at 24. I don't wanna skip a step. I also have a 16 year old and a 14 year old. I don't want to skip a step. I also have a 16 year old and a 14 year old. I don't want them to run faster. I don't want them to think their dad's getting old. So I think the mindset about one newbie young
Starting point is 00:59:33 is probably the biggest battle. So no cold plunges, no sanas, no trampolines, no supplements. Just this green smoothie, with MCT, that's it. Wouldn't it be in that? Yeah, green smoothie ingredients, I wanna know. Okay, so I do get my blood checked every year obsessively and do my genes and find out which vitamins I need and my vitamins are tailored towards me.
Starting point is 00:59:57 That's probably the most obsessive thing I do. Tony is a biohacker extreme and he's bought me every tool that he has, I have it in my house and I need to use them more, but I'll get to that next year. Well, whatever you're doing, it's working. So, keep it up. Keep it up. Thank you. Pleasure to meet you, Jennifer. This was fun. It was really nice to meet you too. Thanks for being enjoyed this episode.
