Season 20

Season 20, Episode 63 of The Adventures of Pipeman.

It’s the Positively Pipeman weekly segment of The Adventures of Pipeman.

Chapter 1: The Pet Health Guru is back and we will discuss Hurricane Awareness with a Checklist for Pets during hurricane season.

Chapter 2: Michael Barbarita of Next Step CFO and Powerful Business Strategies will discuss Building Your 2027 Strategic Plan in Q3 - If you start your 2027 plan in November, you're going to end up with a list of goals, not a strategic plan. There's a huge difference, and that difference is the reason most business owners hit December 2027 and realize they basically just had another year of the same thing.

31
00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:11.039
It's pet health guru, so let's have him hurricane on

32
00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:11.879
into the show.

33
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:22.439
Do do do? Uh? Oh, what's happening one?

34
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:26.240
I don't know. Streamers doing weird things, say, how was

35
00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:26.520
all on?

36
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:27.599
It?

37
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:28.800
Had it?

38
00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:32.639
Had it on the wrong thing. I just changed it myself.

39
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:36.919
It had it on the wrong thing. So sorry people,

40
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:41.560
but you know, even the engineers make mistakes too.

41
00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:43.400
I clicked on it and I didn't do anything.

42
00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:47.840
How you doing, I'm doing good? How are you not

43
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:48.439
too bad?

44
00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:51.719
No, it's been a kind of a hurricane around here anyway,

45
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:54.080
with that, our movement, everything that we went through.

46
00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:55.759
Oh yeah, that's always fun.

47
00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:59.000
Yeah. The store is pretty much set up in its

48
00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:02.159
new format. Never so it looks really, really good, and

49
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:03.800
we're ready for hurricane season.

50
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:05.400
Nice?

51
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:09.479
Are we ready for earthquake season though, because apparently that

52
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:13.240
has come too. We don't normally think of her earthquake

53
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:18.039
season in Florida, But there was an earthquake where in

54
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:21.719
Cuba that rocked all the way from Miami up to Tampa.

55
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:26.560
Then there was the one in Venezuela, and then there

56
00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:33.240
was one in the Philippines, all major earthquakes. You know,

57
00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:36.159
California is looking pretty good right about now. They had

58
00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:41.599
none for all the people in Florida. Thatt' say, I'd

59
00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:46.280
never live in California because they have earthquakes. And I'm

60
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:49.240
somebody I've lived through every disaster there is and I

61
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:51.879
will take an earthquake over a tornado or hurricane any

62
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:52.479
day of the week.

63
00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:53.080
I'll tell you what.

64
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:59.240
Yep, it's you know, it's interesting that you know the

65
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:02.080
world is always is in a battle of itself.

66
00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:06.240
Yeah, you know what we should talk about? Okay, I'm

67
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:08.599
putting this out there. You can tell Patty, I think

68
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:11.439
what we should talk about next week, because it's just

69
00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:16.680
came in my head is fourth of July and your

70
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:22.000
pet and we can discuss that because I see a

71
00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:25.519
lot of chatter about that. There's a lot of people

72
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:28.759
on next stor that are saying they should eliminate fireworks

73
00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:30.199
from Fourth of July.

74
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:33.199
Hate to tell you if fireworks have been part of Fourth.

75
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:36.279
Of July since the beginning of fourth of July back

76
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:42.639
in seventeen seventy seven. Okay, And I get it with

77
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:47.000
the pets, and we'll talk about more next week. But

78
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:52.000
I also think, like I don't know Floridians, they're kind

79
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:54.720
of self centered. They always want all the rules to

80
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:59.879
just apply to their life. Because they say nobody like

81
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:03.240
the fireworks. I beg to differ. If you go to

82
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:07.439
Flagler on fourth, which I will be at, there's plenty

83
00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:12.639
of thousands of people that do like them. But tell pay,

84
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:15.279
let's talk about that next week. Now, let's talk about

85
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:19.639
something worse, and that's a hurricane. How does your pet

86
00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:22.000
react during the hurricane? Let's start there.

87
00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:27.240
Well, as you know, many people are aware, our animals

88
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:32.839
have a much higher sense of or degree of sensing

89
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:35.959
when these things are going to happen and react accordingly,

90
00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:39.920
you know, during a hurricane, especially here in Florida. Sometimes

91
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:42.040
I'll just let like the horses out of the barn

92
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:44.800
and they know exactly where to go instinctively where they

93
00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:48.439
won't be injured and staying out of the way. For

94
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:51.800
our dogs and cats, it is another challenge shoe because

95
00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:57.279
first off, they're going to be emotionally charged, anxiety ridden.

96
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:04.480
Of course.

97
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:04.399
Does not.

98
00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:13.399
I know anyway, sorry about that, but I haven't gotten

99
00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:14.720
a phone call all day long, and of course you

100
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:18.720
had to be now. But basically, you know, you're because

101
00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:21.759
of the anxiety and the stress levels that that we

102
00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:24.600
are going through and we are conveying onto our paths,

103
00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:28.319
you know, we have to be very mindful of that

104
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:31.879
energy as well. We have to have certain supplies of

105
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:38.000
course on hand, could you know, clean water, obviously their foods.

106
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:40.519
You know, we feed a lot of raw foods. So

107
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:43.040
of course we have to worry about electricity going out

108
00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:47.800
and you know, being able to store that. So and

109
00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:50.959
of course you need to have identification on the animal,

110
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:55.319
have a collar or a harness that has an identify

111
00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:57.800
identification on it where they can you know, if they

112
00:06:57.839 --> 00:06:59.959
do get loose, make sure you've got a good lead,

113
00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:04.839
you know, a restraint method because they if they go

114
00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:10.079
into panic mode, they're gone. And so you know, we

115
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:12.800
kind of look at a lot of different things there

116
00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:16.319
on the food side. Of course, I'd never recommend any

117
00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:19.800
kind of kibble. There are some freeze dried foods. There

118
00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:22.600
were some air dried foods that are all meat that

119
00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:25.759
you can you know, easily transport that sort of thing.

120
00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:28.720
I mean, we use the biocomplete treats because it is

121
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:31.600
a whole food item. So you know, for that couple

122
00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:35.839
of days that week that you might be without a diet,

123
00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:40.079
that's fine. Actually, if people ask me all the time

124
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:43.800
about that, it's like, okay, well, if the power goes out,

125
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:50.360
you know, leave your freezer door tight for a couple

126
00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:52.680
you can go a couple of days before everything starts

127
00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:55.639
to defrost. When it does start to defrost and you're

128
00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:57.800
taking out feet as much as you can, let them

129
00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:00.759
do a big, major gorging meal and they'll be good

130
00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:02.720
for you know, three or four days after that, because

131
00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:04.839
they can go four or five days without eating if

132
00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:07.519
they have to. But you know, most pet parents don't

133
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:08.519
want to see that happen.

134
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:14.560
No, I did that with my kids. We had we

135
00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:17.000
had the freezer fall. We had a fireplace, one of

136
00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:20.160
the few fireplaces in Florida, and I was just cooking

137
00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:23.839
it up like let's have a big Thanksgiving feast thanking

138
00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:25.240
the hurricane.

139
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:29.399
Yeah, and of course you know some of that too.

140
00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:32.600
I mean, if we do need to cook, lightly cook

141
00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:36.399
it because it does extend the shelf life of it.

142
00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:39.879
You know, our girls work excellent on their diet as well,

143
00:08:40.759 --> 00:08:43.200
so you know, we have an alternate method that way.

144
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:48.039
Of course, you know, you can always have an extra

145
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:50.960
ice chest or something or a portable which would be

146
00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:54.240
good to have. So on top of that, it's it's

147
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:58.120
just you know, being able to keep your animal constrained.

148
00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:01.240
You know, creates are excellent for that, especially if you

149
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:03.879
have to travel. You know, you have to evacuate that everything.

150
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:08.039
You should have a great available not only to transport,

151
00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:10.080
but if you're stuck in a hotel room or something

152
00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:12.600
like that too. You don't want them escaping out the

153
00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:14.720
door when you open the door, you know, and here

154
00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:16.960
you are, you know, thirty miles forty miles from home

155
00:09:17.799 --> 00:09:22.120
and no identify identifiers on your path and that's not good.

156
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:25.600
So you know, those are those are the basically there.

157
00:09:25.639 --> 00:09:28.279
If they are on medication, you know, obviously take all

158
00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:31.879
the medication, just like you would with yourself and it's

159
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:35.960
it's just don't panic, you know, keep it, you know,

160
00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:41.279
keep your energy levels sound and composed, and your dogs

161
00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:43.799
won't react. Your dogs and cats won't react, you know.

162
00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:45.639
Adversely in that effect.

163
00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:53.240
Nice, it's the same for humans. You know, I don't

164
00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:57.000
really freak out when there's a hurricane, like because what

165
00:09:57.120 --> 00:10:00.279
is it accomplished? You know, And then you freak out out.

166
00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:03.679
Your dogs and cats can sense that and they freak

167
00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:04.159
out too.

168
00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:06.559
Yeah, exactly. That's why I say you have to watch

169
00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:07.240
your own energy.

170
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:08.159
Yeah.

171
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:13.519
So, uh, you know, it's just huge common sense. That's

172
00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:16.639
basically what it's about. Don't panic, you know. So quite

173
00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:18.720
often people will panic click when they're you know, oh,

174
00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:20.320
we've got to get out of here. We gotta you know,

175
00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:22.559
we gotta evacuate, and they just open up the door

176
00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:24.720
or they just hoping up the door to see what

177
00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:33.879
the hurricane doing. Your dog is, you know, and and uh.

178
00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:34.799
Well, and if you do have to chase your animal

179
00:10:34.919 --> 00:10:38.039
and try to get them, that's now that's dangerous for

180
00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:38.679
both of you.

181
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:44.200
No, no, and they don't know whether you're playing or

182
00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:48.360
whether it's a serious They don't con sensualize banking. Oh

183
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:50.799
my god, this is a horrible storm. They just know

184
00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:54.159
that there's a lot going on and I need to

185
00:10:54.159 --> 00:11:00.279
find you know what you're up in the closet. They're

186
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:02.759
smarter than we are, so just do it.

187
00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:07.559
Yeah, they have they have instinct, then they follow their instinct.

188
00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:10.879
I think that's a difference with humans. We have instinct too,

189
00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:12.600
and a lot of times we ignore it.

190
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:18.519
Yes, exactly. So now it's also not a bad idea

191
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:23.799
that you know with your dogs. Obviously we paid when

192
00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:30.200
they're early and kick it out this form at least. Yeah,

193
00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:36.360
you know this is you know, I get.

194
00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:39.679
So one.

195
00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:43.799
Well, Bill, your internet has been really bad the past

196
00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:47.399
couple of months. But I want to know what you

197
00:11:47.399 --> 00:11:52.159
would recommend to one for his goldfish or his guppy guppies?

198
00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:55.360
Really has guppies like.

199
00:11:57.879 --> 00:12:03.200
If they're in a fish, okay, just leave them there,

200
00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:06.279
if you know, if you can move move it to

201
00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:10.120
the floor. That's even better, so that the stand doesn't

202
00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:12.399
get knocked over if something breaks or the wind comes

203
00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:16.360
through or whatever. Other than that, they're fine. They're already

204
00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:18.159
wet the range I put to bother them.

205
00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:24.559
I always have wondered how fish like in the ocean

206
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:27.679
or inner coast or whatever, what they.

207
00:12:27.559 --> 00:12:29.399
Think of the rain when it happens.

208
00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:34.480
Because of what you just said, you're already wet, so like,

209
00:12:34.759 --> 00:12:39.320
I know, if I'm out there in the ocean, besides lightning,

210
00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:44.360
like the rain has no implication on me while I'm

211
00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:46.519
in there. Now, if I was sitting on the beach,

212
00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:49.360
another story. But while I'm in there, it's like not

213
00:12:49.399 --> 00:12:51.960
a big deal. It's only a big deal if you

214
00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:56.159
know there's lightning or hurricane. I wouldn't suggest humans being

215
00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:57.600
out in the ocean for sure.

216
00:12:59.799 --> 00:13:01.279
And no paddle borders either.

217
00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:04.279
There was like several years ago, not that long, but

218
00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:08.320
several a sixty four year old dude that we were

219
00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:13.159
evacuated from Singer Island that went out paddle boarding. People

220
00:13:14.159 --> 00:13:17.399
don't bring your animals either. Don't go paddle boarding during

221
00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:20.279
a hurricane. It's not really a good idea, just saying.

222
00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:26.480
No, it's not. And along with a hurricane, it's not

223
00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:28.679
just the wind in the rain. You do sometimes get

224
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:30.120
a lot of thunder and lightning as.

225
00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:37.799
Well, exactly, and tornadoes, yes, and flying debris. And then

226
00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:40.399
you know, if you're in the ocean, I mean, the

227
00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:43.320
water gets really bad. That's when people like me are like,

228
00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:46.639
oh cool, hurricane's coming, because that means there's good surfing

229
00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:50.399
before and after, but not during. But people do bring

230
00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:54.480
their pets out on their paddle boards and on their triacts,

231
00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:59.240
so maybe don't do that too. It seems weird, Bill

232
00:13:59.320 --> 00:14:01.720
that we would have to say that, but obviously we

233
00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:06.320
do because people do dumb stuff sometimes they don't think about,

234
00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:10.559
you know, just like the people that sit out during

235
00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:13.120
the hurricane in their truck to experience it.

236
00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:19.320
Yeah, and of course, you know, you know, we talked

237
00:14:19.320 --> 00:14:21.879
a little bit about before the show, but for the

238
00:14:21.919 --> 00:14:24.200
fourth of July, it's the same thing. You know, make

239
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:27.679
sure you've got your animals constrained, and you know that

240
00:14:27.799 --> 00:14:31.759
sort of thing, the anxiety, the fireworks of cells will

241
00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:34.440
cause a great deal of anxiety, so you want to

242
00:14:34.440 --> 00:14:36.720
make sure you have control of your animals. We do

243
00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:39.519
have different products on the market, of course, treats and

244
00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:42.840
that sort of thing that may contain things like CBD

245
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:47.159
all right, and stress anxiety herbs and that sort of thing,

246
00:14:47.159 --> 00:14:50.120
which if you use them properly, can help alleviate a

247
00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:51.960
lot of that problem with your animals as well.

248
00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:56.240
How about are there like ear plugs because I know

249
00:14:56.320 --> 00:14:59.919
it's the fireworks that really get to them. But you know,

250
00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:04.399
lightning really gets them too. We can't cancel lightning. No,

251
00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:08.879
So if there's lightning in a hurricane that freaks out

252
00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:12.919
your animal, just like fireworks would. Is there some kind

253
00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:16.440
of ear plug or something that there is a coping

254
00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:21.120
mechanism so that it is not harmful to their ears?

255
00:15:21.639 --> 00:15:21.720
Not?

256
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:24.360
Really, there's nothing that's functional because of course, when you

257
00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:27.679
look at dogs especially, you know, then there's all different

258
00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:30.799
shapes and sizes of ears, and that makes it very

259
00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:34.240
difficult for anything to be constructed. What are the things?

260
00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:37.840
Of course, if you do have electricity, put on some

261
00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:40.840
calming music, some calming tones, you know, get that energy

262
00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:42.480
cook pulling in the right direction.

263
00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:45.159
Well I was thinking that too.

264
00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:51.000
Okay, so what about when fireworks are going off or

265
00:15:51.080 --> 00:15:55.759
lightning is happening. What if you're just have your TV

266
00:15:56.159 --> 00:16:00.840
or your music on that overpowers that because you're pets are.

267
00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:04.120
Used to that, Yeah, exactly. I mean you can turn

268
00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:05.600
to you know, most of the time, you can turn

269
00:16:05.679 --> 00:16:07.879
your stereo up as loud as you want, and they

270
00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:11.159
don't even they don't move, so it's not just noise.

271
00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:14.799
You would you would think you would think that after

272
00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:16.840
two hundred and fifty years, they would be used to

273
00:16:16.840 --> 00:16:17.639
it by now.

274
00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:21.559
But it's only once a year or twice a year,

275
00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:24.200
so that's why they're not. But they're not. Sometimes they're

276
00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:27.120
not used to it with lightning either. But that's my point.

277
00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:29.519
These people that are on next door that are saying

278
00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:34.759
we should cancel fireworks, uh, you know, you can't cancel lightning,

279
00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:38.759
and that happens a lot more often than fireworks. And

280
00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:41.399
I was thinking to myself, tell me what you think

281
00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:45.879
if you were that worried about your pet with the fireworks,

282
00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:48.559
why not get a pair of headphones that you would

283
00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:51.919
give a child, an infant that goes to a concert.

284
00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:54.679
Put it over their ears and yeah, they're not going

285
00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:56.879
to keep it on, but you hold it on and

286
00:16:57.000 --> 00:16:59.600
soothe them and pet them until it's over.

287
00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:03.639
Yeah. I mean that's possible too. It's just it's it's

288
00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:05.960
a lot more work. And that's one of the things

289
00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:09.480
you know, we find unfortunately too often, is that pet

290
00:17:09.559 --> 00:17:13.440
parents aren't always committed to doing the right things at

291
00:17:13.440 --> 00:17:14.000
the right time.

292
00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:16.599
And I think they should be.

293
00:17:16.880 --> 00:17:20.200
I think it's a big undertaking to have a pet,

294
00:17:20.440 --> 00:17:24.519
and I think it should definitely be something that you

295
00:17:24.559 --> 00:17:27.640
know that you are willing to go to the extra

296
00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:30.480
mile and not make everybody else do. That's something I

297
00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:33.039
have noticed about a lot of pet owners, at least

298
00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:37.240
the ones down here, is they always expect everybody else

299
00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:41.799
to go above and beyond for their pet. And that's

300
00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:44.559
like expecting everybody else to go above and beyond for

301
00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:48.000
your kid. You know, you want to call them your kid. Well,

302
00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:52.519
I'm the one responsible for how my kid acts in

303
00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:56.359
a restaurant, not how the restaurant determines whether you should

304
00:17:56.400 --> 00:17:57.079
have kids or not.

305
00:17:57.559 --> 00:18:00.000
You know type of thing. Uh So, I kind of

306
00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:01.160
think of it the same way.

307
00:18:01.240 --> 00:18:06.480
I mean, like, especially these people that are saying and fireworks,

308
00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:09.960
So you want to ruin the fun for millions of

309
00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:13.920
people because you're not willing to take that extra step

310
00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:18.880
for something that you decided to have a responsibility for.

311
00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:23.720
I've had pets all my life. They're a huge responsibility. Okay,

312
00:18:24.200 --> 00:18:26.759
and if you're not prepared for it, just like me. Okay,

313
00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:30.160
you remember April. I haven't gotten another dog since April

314
00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:33.599
for two reasons. One issue was the easiest, greatest dog.

315
00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:37.960
So like, how you top that. Number two is that

316
00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:41.759
I knew my lifestyle and the way I wanted to

317
00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:47.000
live would not be fair to me or a dog

318
00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:51.079
in that environment, so I opted out of having a dog.

319
00:18:51.160 --> 00:18:52.759
I love dogs. I wish I.

320
00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:56.640
Could have one, but I'm only going to have one

321
00:18:57.279 --> 00:19:00.680
if I'm willing to take all the response ability and

322
00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:02.799
I have all the dedication for that animal.

323
00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:05.200
Yes, especially without traveling.

324
00:19:05.480 --> 00:19:07.359
You know, we talk about that on all of our shows.

325
00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:10.079
You know, even when it comes to food and healthcare

326
00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:12.519
and all of that sort of thing. It's like, you know,

327
00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:14.720
they push, they push a lot of this stuff off.

328
00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:17.079
You know, well, I have to talk to my veterinarian,

329
00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:20.440
which doesn't necessarily know what's best for your animal and

330
00:19:20.519 --> 00:19:23.440
doesn't know what's best for your lifestyle. We've had a

331
00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:26.039
couple of trainers on out on the Pet Health Cafe

332
00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:29.799
recently that we talk about the different breed types and

333
00:19:29.799 --> 00:19:31.119
that sort of thing. You know, if you want to

334
00:19:31.400 --> 00:19:34.240
you know, if you're living in a one bedroom apartment

335
00:19:34.319 --> 00:19:36.599
and you're ninety years old, you don't want a Belgian

336
00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:41.920
melanow bouncing the walls, you know, So you know, we

337
00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:44.079
have to take all it into consideration. It's not just

338
00:19:44.119 --> 00:19:45.920
about the look of it or that sort of thing.

339
00:19:46.079 --> 00:19:47.880
The training has got to be there. You know, if

340
00:19:47.880 --> 00:19:50.480
your dog is well trained during you know, during a hurricane,

341
00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:54.720
you're not going to be nearly uh as upset and

342
00:19:55.319 --> 00:19:58.279
you know, anxiety ridden because you know your dog's gonna

343
00:19:58.279 --> 00:20:01.839
follow command. Be you know, I'm it's leash or it's great,

344
00:20:01.839 --> 00:20:04.880
whatever it happens to be. Without wine nuts, I.

345
00:20:04.759 --> 00:20:06.759
Can't believe you brought up training because I was thinking

346
00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:09.000
about that before you even say it. While you're talking

347
00:20:09.079 --> 00:20:12.319
about how many people get pets and then they don't

348
00:20:12.359 --> 00:20:14.559
train the pet, and then they get rid of the

349
00:20:14.599 --> 00:20:17.119
pet as the pet gets to be adult because they

350
00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:19.200
can't handle all the things the pet's doing.

351
00:20:19.480 --> 00:20:20.480
It's your fault.

352
00:20:20.680 --> 00:20:24.160
It was your responsibility, just like it's your responsibility of parents.

353
00:20:24.240 --> 00:20:24.880
Your baby.

354
00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:28.440
Babies don't come into the world knowing how to do everything,

355
00:20:28.559 --> 00:20:31.279
or how to act or what have you. And puppies

356
00:20:31.359 --> 00:20:34.559
not the same thing. It is a peeve of mine.

357
00:20:34.759 --> 00:20:39.039
People that get pets and then get rid of them

358
00:20:39.200 --> 00:20:43.559
and then get another one like that. That's even worse

359
00:20:44.599 --> 00:20:47.440
the people that get pets over and over again because

360
00:20:47.920 --> 00:20:50.119
they turn the pets turn into adults.

361
00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:52.400
Oh that just rubs a nerve.

362
00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:57.160
Yeah, I understand it. I agree. You know some of

363
00:20:57.720 --> 00:21:01.400
some of those you know, cute little fluffy puppies can

364
00:21:01.440 --> 00:21:03.640
turn into a into a hurricane.

365
00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:08.960
Actually, yeah, and even more of a hurricane if you're

366
00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:12.960
not dedicated to that animal and doing what needs to

367
00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:18.720
be done to groom them to be an adult, responsible

368
00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:19.640
adult pet.

369
00:21:20.279 --> 00:21:24.160
We'll call it that. You know so, and you're right.

370
00:21:24.279 --> 00:21:26.720
I love that you put the hurricane part in there,

371
00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:29.680
because you're right. It's it would be so much easier

372
00:21:29.720 --> 00:21:32.480
if you always did did stuff right with your pet,

373
00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:35.240
that they would be able to deal with the hurricane

374
00:21:35.319 --> 00:21:39.079
much better because you've trained.

375
00:21:38.799 --> 00:21:44.119
Them absolutely, you know, and of course you know the

376
00:21:44.160 --> 00:21:47.960
proper feeding and health that goes along with that. You know. Again,

377
00:21:48.079 --> 00:21:50.000
people don't want to make the commitment, you know, and

378
00:21:50.000 --> 00:21:52.160
then which one of those animals that can be dumped

379
00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:54.799
in shelters are because of that? Bills are too expensive?

380
00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:57.920
Yeah for it?

381
00:21:58.920 --> 00:22:01.119
Yeah, you got to think of all different things.

382
00:22:01.160 --> 00:22:04.240
And you know, I do give credit to some people

383
00:22:04.279 --> 00:22:07.200
that never have a pet, that know that it's just

384
00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:07.839
not for them.

385
00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:08.839
It's funny.

386
00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:11.799
I saw I saw one of those postings on next

387
00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:15.720
door I as somebody said, I'm trying to remember what

388
00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:21.200
they said, and they were like, well, what if it

389
00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:24.079
was more of like something like, what if you don't

390
00:22:24.119 --> 00:22:29.480
have or want a dog, then why should I have

391
00:22:29.599 --> 00:22:37.799
to not do something because you have and want a dog? Yeah,

392
00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:40.480
you know, I think people make a conscious choice because

393
00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:43.440
they don't want to make that sacrifice, just like I've done. Now,

394
00:22:44.039 --> 00:22:48.359
you know, it's like either have a dog or travel

395
00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:53.039
the way I do or whatever. Have no Listen, that's

396
00:22:53.079 --> 00:22:56.519
one thing I have to give kudos to my brother about.

397
00:22:57.720 --> 00:23:03.480
And so he has a dog and he wants to travel,

398
00:23:04.079 --> 00:23:10.240
but his dog is in the Australian labradoodle, and so

399
00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:13.119
the only way that dog can get on plane is

400
00:23:13.160 --> 00:23:15.839
in the cargo area. And he refuses to put the

401
00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:20.039
dog in the cargo area because he doesn't want to

402
00:23:20.079 --> 00:23:23.079
put the dog in that kind of circumstance. He would

403
00:23:23.160 --> 00:23:26.319
rather the dog, you know, be with him or what

404
00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:30.000
have you. And listen, some people would make fun of

405
00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:33.759
somebody like that. I give him kudos because he is

406
00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:37.079
being a responsible pet owner by paying his pet first

407
00:23:37.480 --> 00:23:40.000
and his needs second in that respect.

408
00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:43.440
Well, not only that they have to put him to

409
00:23:43.480 --> 00:23:49.440
sleep during the flight. Yeah, they're not awake in cases,

410
00:23:50.119 --> 00:23:54.160
yeah exactly. So you know he chooses not to fly.

411
00:23:54.960 --> 00:23:57.400
You know, you can be very stressful for the dog too.

412
00:23:58.039 --> 00:24:00.400
Yeah, one hundred percent, you know.

413
00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:04.440
And I think it's interesting too, since we're on that note,

414
00:24:05.200 --> 00:24:08.119
because I just got off a flight recently where they

415
00:24:08.160 --> 00:24:11.759
eliminated any nutting from their menu that you could order,

416
00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:14.359
and you couldn't eat anything nuts because somebody on the

417
00:24:14.400 --> 00:24:18.440
plane at a nut allergy. Well that's nuts, I know, right,

418
00:24:18.599 --> 00:24:21.519
But here's what's nuts. It's if you have a cat

419
00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:26.880
or dog allergy. That doesn't matter. Yeah, that's weird to

420
00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:31.880
me that peanuts have more value than animals.

421
00:24:32.160 --> 00:24:34.880
Well, animals gonna make you sneeze, but peanuts can make

422
00:24:34.920 --> 00:24:36.799
you stop breathing, so I guess.

423
00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:37.559
Well.

424
00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:41.160
But for some people though, if they're severely allergic to

425
00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:44.920
dogs or cats in that confined environment, they could die

426
00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:48.880
because they could have asthma attacks and be asphyxiated just

427
00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:49.359
the same.

428
00:24:50.160 --> 00:24:50.839
So there you go.

429
00:24:51.160 --> 00:24:53.480
You know, like, if you have a nut allergy, just

430
00:24:53.960 --> 00:24:55.319
don't have the nuts.

431
00:24:57.359 --> 00:25:00.480
Apparently, if you have a nut allergy, if someone elsie,

432
00:25:00.480 --> 00:25:01.839
it's nuts, you die.

433
00:25:03.079 --> 00:25:05.640
I don't know what is that like about luck for

434
00:25:05.720 --> 00:25:06.240
you or.

435
00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:12.160
With all these allergies, I mean toxicity anyway. You know,

436
00:25:13.160 --> 00:25:17.759
if I clean healthy, you won't have analogy, there won't

437
00:25:17.799 --> 00:25:18.920
be an issue.

438
00:25:19.759 --> 00:25:22.720
I have heard of secondhand smoke. I have never heard

439
00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:25.359
of second hand peanut allergy.

440
00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:29.599
See now you just you just gave me a visual

441
00:25:29.640 --> 00:25:32.640
in my head of a dog and cat sitting on

442
00:25:32.640 --> 00:25:33.599
the plane smoking.

443
00:25:35.759 --> 00:25:36.720
That should be a portrait.

444
00:25:38.079 --> 00:25:39.480
Uh.

445
00:25:39.640 --> 00:25:42.039
And on that note, and then we're going to go

446
00:25:42.119 --> 00:25:45.920
to some ticket giveaways. But uh, on that note, I

447
00:25:45.960 --> 00:25:48.079
want to say one thing before the pet health girl

448
00:25:48.160 --> 00:25:50.880
tells us all how we can reach out to them

449
00:25:50.920 --> 00:25:53.359
and get some more great advice. But first I want

450
00:25:53.400 --> 00:25:57.319
to say that I that do you know who Kelsey

451
00:25:57.359 --> 00:25:58.000
Grammar is?

452
00:25:58.160 --> 00:26:03.799
Uh? One? Oh my god, he doesn't know anything, does he? Bill?

453
00:26:06.079 --> 00:26:09.319
Okay, So there was a show called Cheers and then

454
00:26:09.359 --> 00:26:13.599
a show called Fraser, and he was a star in

455
00:26:13.720 --> 00:26:14.559
both of those.

456
00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:17.839
He was a he's a very huge like.

457
00:26:20.200 --> 00:26:28.160
Not like Jimmy Starr huge, but really huge actor and

458
00:26:27.319 --> 00:26:33.519
uh and uh basically uh uh. He was on plane

459
00:26:34.519 --> 00:26:36.359
one time and I was on plane and I was

460
00:26:36.400 --> 00:26:39.839
smoking because he could smoke on the plane, and I

461
00:26:39.880 --> 00:26:42.599
didn't know who he was. They bummed a cigarette off

462
00:26:42.680 --> 00:26:47.039
me and he even asked, do I know no illo?

463
00:26:47.240 --> 00:26:49.400
My name's Kelsey. No clue.

464
00:26:49.880 --> 00:26:53.079
Then after getting off the plane. I was watching episodes

465
00:26:53.119 --> 00:26:59.079
of Cheers. I was like, oh shit, he he bummed

466
00:26:59.079 --> 00:27:06.160
a cigarette off of me. That's my fanboy moment. I

467
00:27:06.160 --> 00:27:09.519
think a lot of my fanboy moments came from smoking,

468
00:27:09.559 --> 00:27:12.720
because there was a time that Corey Taylor was talking

469
00:27:12.759 --> 00:27:16.240
to me after I interviewed his drummer in his Bandstone Sour.

470
00:27:16.680 --> 00:27:18.839
I was just sitting on the curb smoking cigarette. Came

471
00:27:18.880 --> 00:27:21.880
over and started talking to me about the weather. So

472
00:27:21.960 --> 00:27:24.319
now that I don't smoke anymore, I don't get those

473
00:27:24.359 --> 00:27:25.240
moments anymore.

474
00:27:25.519 --> 00:27:27.359
Seeing now I'm all bummed out about that.

475
00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:32.880
Meanwhile, I do know where I want to go and

476
00:27:32.920 --> 00:27:36.279
where I did go for April, and where I would

477
00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:37.319
go if I had an AMMO.

478
00:27:37.480 --> 00:27:39.319
Now where would that be? Bill?

479
00:27:40.400 --> 00:27:45.880
That would have to be the my Paleo Pet retail

480
00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:50.440
store in Pampanovich, Florida, where we've got all the food

481
00:27:50.480 --> 00:27:56.200
items and good diets and good healthy herbal products, everything

482
00:27:56.240 --> 00:27:59.559
for both you and your pet. One of the claims

483
00:27:59.559 --> 00:28:02.920
that we can honestly make because everything in this store

484
00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:07.160
can be used for people and pets, and you know,

485
00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:11.720
we don't skimp on the quality because they're pets. Unlike

486
00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:14.400
a lot of the big commercial companies out there. Also,

487
00:28:14.440 --> 00:28:19.319
we do consultations for animal health and for people health.

488
00:28:20.440 --> 00:28:22.400
If you want to lead to more natural life. We

489
00:28:22.440 --> 00:28:24.759
have a Farm and the Table program now where you

490
00:28:24.759 --> 00:28:28.640
can get good quality raised in Florida meats and poultry

491

492

Health Cafe, which is our podcast live every Thursday night

493
00:28:39.279 --> 00:28:43.279
on the whole group of stations. Something happened with YouTube

494
00:28:43.279 --> 00:28:46.640
though this week. I don't know what, so we're missing

495
00:28:46.640 --> 00:28:50.839
an episode from last week, but I guess they don't

496
00:28:50.920 --> 00:28:52.799
like one and I talk about some of the stuff

497
00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:56.599
I talk about, or some of our guests too. But yeah,

498
00:28:56.680 --> 00:28:59.200
I mean all that stuff is available on YouTube twenty

499
00:28:59.240 --> 00:29:03.880
four to seven. To hear more and educate yourself. That's

500
00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:07.000
what the whole program is about. And we would love

501
00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:08.279
for you to come down and see the store.

502
00:29:10.200 --> 00:29:11.119
And it's amazing.

503
00:29:11.240 --> 00:29:14.759
First time I stepped into your store, like twenty years ago,

504
00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:18.640
I was like, holy shit, this is like going to

505
00:29:18.720 --> 00:29:23.759
an old school, you know, like human Butcher in New York.

506
00:29:23.880 --> 00:29:26.799
You know, like, oh, that's why I used to call

507
00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:29.759
it a deli because it was like going into the

508
00:29:29.799 --> 00:29:31.799
New York deli, you know, and.

509
00:29:33.759 --> 00:29:35.640
It was kind of cool. It was like I was

510
00:29:35.680 --> 00:29:37.839
looking like, man, I want to eat this stuff.

511
00:29:40.039 --> 00:29:43.279
Yeah, yep. Well that's why we edited the farm the

512
00:29:43.279 --> 00:29:46.680
table because we were already doing the good stuff. And

513
00:29:46.799 --> 00:29:49.400
you know, as a pet parent, if you're not healthy,

514
00:29:49.440 --> 00:29:51.880
you can't help your animal, so we want to make

515
00:29:51.880 --> 00:29:54.119
it available. And you know, it was always I was

516
00:29:54.119 --> 00:29:56.279
always getting the comments, you know, my dog eats better

517
00:29:56.319 --> 00:29:57.640
than I do. And I said, well, well, get a

518
00:29:57.680 --> 00:29:58.240
program for that.

519
00:29:59.400 --> 00:30:04.960
Nice And there's a responsible pet owner feeding their dog

520
00:30:05.440 --> 00:30:10.359
or pet cat better than they feed themselves. Well, you

521
00:30:10.400 --> 00:30:14.720
are always a wealth of knowledge pet health guru. And uh,

522
00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:18.160
hopefully we won't have a hurricane this weekend, but if

523
00:30:18.200 --> 00:30:21.240
we do, people might be prepared.

524
00:30:21.319 --> 00:30:26.680

you your little once again.

573
00:33:28.200 --> 00:33:30.279
This is the Pipe Main here on the Adventures Pipe

574
00:33:30.279 --> 00:33:34.920
MANW four cy Radio. And we're on our powerful business

575
00:33:34.920 --> 00:33:39.640
Strategy mission today with Michael Barberita next step CFO, and

576
00:33:39.640 --> 00:33:44.759
we're on mission for our twenty twenty seven strategic plan.

577
00:33:45.519 --> 00:33:47.960
So let's talk about it. Michael, thank you, Thank you.

578
00:33:48.079 --> 00:33:50.519
Dean. What happens is there's a lot of business owners

579
00:33:50.519 --> 00:33:53.039
stopped planning for the following year, if at all, by

580
00:33:53.039 --> 00:33:55.079
the way in November and December.

581
00:33:55.960 --> 00:34:00.240
And what is that like the New Year's resolution rather

582
00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:01.000
than a plan.

583
00:34:01.720 --> 00:34:04.039
Yeah, it's similar to that, and that's what it ends

584
00:34:04.119 --> 00:34:07.559
up being essentially, because twenty twenty seven ends up being

585
00:34:07.559 --> 00:34:11.239
in the same year as twenty twenty six. So starting

586
00:34:11.239 --> 00:34:16.039
a strategic plan and you're planning for twenty seven in

587
00:34:16.159 --> 00:34:20.320
Q three allows you to allows you the time to

588
00:34:20.519 --> 00:34:23.199
be able to make better decisions and to be able

589
00:34:23.199 --> 00:34:26.519
to understand the plan or get help with the plan.

590
00:34:27.880 --> 00:34:31.639
So because I see what happens a lot is there's

591
00:34:31.639 --> 00:34:34.239
a lot of planning that goes on in November December

592
00:34:34.960 --> 00:34:36.480
for those who do it. By the way, there's some

593
00:34:36.480 --> 00:34:40.079
people who never plan, so that that's gonna probably stay

594
00:34:40.079 --> 00:34:44.760
on forever. But those who do plan should consider starting

595
00:34:44.840 --> 00:34:49.760
in Q three because they have a They'll have more

596
00:34:49.800 --> 00:34:54.320
time to strategize, they'll have more time to really understand

597
00:34:54.320 --> 00:34:57.800
what's happened in the first half of twenty twenty six,

598
00:34:58.880 --> 00:35:04.000
to be able to really negotiate their their their game plan.

599
00:35:04.239 --> 00:35:07.280
And what ends up happening is the quality of the

600
00:35:07.320 --> 00:35:10.440
plan ends up much better and the probability of implementation

601
00:35:10.599 --> 00:35:14.800
increases with the longer. The longer time frame for planning.

602
00:35:15.440 --> 00:35:17.559
And so even if you just stop once a week,

603
00:35:18.559 --> 00:35:21.960
uh and and and start and put an hour aside

604
00:35:22.119 --> 00:35:26.159
once a week for the twenty twenty seven plan, you'll

605
00:35:26.199 --> 00:35:28.679
be that much more ahead of the game. Come whenever

606
00:35:29.199 --> 00:35:31.639
you normally do it firstus whenever you normally do it.

607
00:35:32.239 --> 00:35:36.840
So it's just really a great way start stop early

608
00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:40.039
because a lot of business owners they for those who

609
00:35:40.159 --> 00:35:42.960
do it at all, UH, they just cram it in.

610
00:35:43.280 --> 00:35:46.840
They cram it in and it and it's.

611
00:35:46.079 --> 00:35:47.519
Just not a it do.

612
00:35:47.679 --> 00:35:49.719
It just doesn't work well. And what ends up happening

613
00:35:49.760 --> 00:35:51.280
is the year ends up being the same as it's

614
00:35:51.280 --> 00:35:51.800
always been.

615
00:35:53.000 --> 00:35:55.239
Hm.

616
00:35:55.280 --> 00:35:58.920
So what other advice do you have to give people

617
00:35:59.000 --> 00:36:02.039
so that that could before we prepared for twenty twenty seconds.

618
00:36:02.199 --> 00:36:03.840
Well, there's a couple of things I want to I

619
00:36:03.880 --> 00:36:10.320
want to talk about, uh, in addition to the planning component,

620
00:36:10.719 --> 00:36:14.159
and that is, UH, what I find is best known

621
00:36:15.079 --> 00:36:20.320
beat best product every time. So if you look at McDonald's,

622
00:36:20.360 --> 00:36:23.880
they don't have the best burger, Domino's doesn't have the

623
00:36:23.880 --> 00:36:28.920
best pizza. Doctor Phil isn't even the best psychologists in

624
00:36:28.960 --> 00:36:31.840
the world. He's not if you ask, if I have

625
00:36:31.920 --> 00:36:36.400
asked multiple psychologists about doctor Phil's skill in psychology.

626
00:36:37.199 --> 00:36:38.239
It's really low.

627
00:36:38.840 --> 00:36:39.599
It's really low.

628
00:36:39.840 --> 00:36:42.400
But I'm not a fan, so I'm like.

629
00:36:42.719 --> 00:36:46.320
Okay, he's the highest paid psychologist in the world.

630
00:36:46.679 --> 00:36:50.679
Yeah, and he is because he's best known. And there's

631
00:36:50.719 --> 00:36:53.360
only one reason for that, you know the reason, right.

632
00:36:53.239 --> 00:36:53.719
That's right?

633
00:36:53.840 --> 00:36:59.960
Yeah, you know he he was personally groomed by Oprah

634
00:37:00.159 --> 00:37:04.320
be who he is. Right, But I can say that

635
00:37:05.079 --> 00:37:09.119
he probably isn't ranked as one of the top psychologists.

636
00:37:09.719 --> 00:37:12.679
He's definitely not. If by the way surveys have already

637
00:37:12.719 --> 00:37:14.360
been done, he's not even in the top thousand.

638
00:37:16.079 --> 00:37:16.360
Wow.

639
00:37:16.920 --> 00:37:20.639
Yeah, I mean surveys among peers have been done. He's

640
00:37:20.639 --> 00:37:24.440
not in the top thousand. So right, but he's the

641
00:37:24.480 --> 00:37:26.760
highest paid because he's the best known, and it has

642
00:37:26.840 --> 00:37:29.719
to be you have to be known. It's not really

643
00:37:29.800 --> 00:37:33.360
how the quality of your product. Domino's pizza people don't.

644
00:37:33.559 --> 00:37:36.079
A lot of people don't. If you had a rank

645
00:37:36.159 --> 00:37:39.159
Pizza's Dominoes would probably not be, not even close to

646
00:37:39.199 --> 00:37:43.840
the top three. Yet they're very wide, you know, you know,

647
00:37:43.840 --> 00:37:47.880
they're tremendously successful. But they but they but they're one

648
00:37:47.880 --> 00:37:50.280
of the reasons why they are successful is their best

649
00:37:50.320 --> 00:37:56.159
known and they have compelling offers like the one that

650
00:37:56.239 --> 00:37:59.400
they did for the college kids were thirty minutes will

651
00:37:59.440 --> 00:38:01.920
deliver it or it's free. You know, those types of

652
00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:06.599
compelling offers obviously helped them to become best known. So

653
00:38:07.840 --> 00:38:12.480
anyway that best known will be best product every time.

654
00:38:12.679 --> 00:38:15.679
So that's number one I want us to share. The

655
00:38:15.760 --> 00:38:20.599
second thing I wanted to share is something that business

656
00:38:20.599 --> 00:38:21.960
owners never think about.

657
00:38:22.119 --> 00:38:22.360
Never.

658
00:38:23.679 --> 00:38:27.199
A lot of business owners when they started their business,

659
00:38:28.679 --> 00:38:34.239
they filled out credit applications with suppliers. Many of those

660
00:38:34.400 --> 00:38:42.400
credit applications included personal guarantees. Yes, what I'm saying is

661
00:38:42.400 --> 00:38:44.840
is that business owners who have been in business five

662
00:38:44.920 --> 00:38:48.280
years or more need to go back to those suppliers

663
00:38:48.800 --> 00:38:54.199
and get them to waive the personal guarantee in writing

664
00:38:55.480 --> 00:38:58.519
that the personal guarantees signed five years ago, ten years ago,

665
00:38:58.599 --> 00:39:03.480
fifteen twenty by thirty years ago is now waived.

666
00:39:03.639 --> 00:39:04.039
Why.

667
00:39:04.280 --> 00:39:07.559
Well, the reason for the personal guarantee is, you know

668
00:39:07.599 --> 00:39:10.039
you would consider just starting out you're considered a poor

669
00:39:10.079 --> 00:39:13.880
credit risk. But having paid for five years on time

670
00:39:14.119 --> 00:39:19.119
or more ten fifteen, twenty twenty five, it's time now

671
00:39:19.440 --> 00:39:22.840
to waive the reason why you had a personal guarantee

672
00:39:22.840 --> 00:39:24.360
and let me tell you why you have to do it.

673
00:39:25.719 --> 00:39:31.079
If for some reason you sell the company, you're going.

674
00:39:31.039 --> 00:39:32.440
To be sued.

675
00:39:32.960 --> 00:39:35.920
If the new company is not even though it's a

676
00:39:35.920 --> 00:39:39.159
different company, different name, you're going to get at least sued,

677
00:39:39.280 --> 00:39:45.559
if not pursued legally for guaranteeing the debt. Granted it

678
00:39:45.639 --> 00:39:48.239
was a guaranteeing the debt of an old company, but

679
00:39:48.400 --> 00:39:50.719
you're still going to be pursued. You don't need it.

680
00:39:51.079 --> 00:39:53.599
You don't need it. You've got to go back to

681
00:39:53.599 --> 00:39:55.840
your suppliers and if you forgot whether or not you

682
00:39:55.920 --> 00:39:58.719
filled out an application, or you forgot whether or not

683
00:39:59.000 --> 00:40:02.280
the application and included a personal guarantee, because some don't,

684
00:40:03.519 --> 00:40:05.599
you still have to ask the supplier if you if

685
00:40:05.639 --> 00:40:08.440
they can come up with that application, because you want

686
00:40:08.440 --> 00:40:08.920
to review it.

687
00:40:09.559 --> 00:40:09.880
Mm hm.

688
00:40:11.119 --> 00:40:14.760
And you're not out of trouble. Nothing's no trouble. That's

689
00:40:14.840 --> 00:40:17.760
just a question to the supplier. And if there's a

690
00:40:17.800 --> 00:40:21.400
personal guarantee, you need it waived period of report because

691
00:40:21.400 --> 00:40:23.519
you're proven that you could pay that you pay your

692
00:40:23.519 --> 00:40:26.199
bills on time, and there's no need for them to

693
00:40:26.239 --> 00:40:28.280
have a personal guarantee on you anymore.

694
00:40:29.480 --> 00:40:32.880
Yeah, I can tell you that my uncle was a

695
00:40:33.000 --> 00:40:38.599
very prominent attorney and the first business I ever started,

696
00:40:38.639 --> 00:40:43.760
he said to me, don't ever sign a personal guarantee. Now,

697
00:40:44.679 --> 00:40:47.679
in today's day and age, I think a lot of

698
00:40:47.760 --> 00:40:50.159
times they require everybody to.

699
00:40:50.880 --> 00:40:52.360
In the beginning, you know.

700
00:40:52.719 --> 00:40:55.920
Well banks for sure, yeah yeah, But before it used

701
00:40:55.960 --> 00:40:59.239
to be you could just say no, you know, and

702
00:40:59.320 --> 00:41:02.519
you might still get the loan. But I was always

703
00:41:02.559 --> 00:41:05.760
told never to do that for a lot of reasons

704
00:41:05.760 --> 00:41:07.519
that you're talking about, right.

705
00:41:07.320 --> 00:41:11.760
And you know, business owners. I had a client who

706
00:41:11.800 --> 00:41:16.519
was in business twenty five years, thirty years, and he

707
00:41:16.519 --> 00:41:18.480
he signed, you know, I had him go back to

708
00:41:18.519 --> 00:41:21.679
all his supply he's wanted to sell his company. I

709
00:41:21.679 --> 00:41:24.880
had him go back to all his suppliers to go

710
00:41:25.159 --> 00:41:29.400
to get the personal guarantees waived. And so he did that,

711
00:41:29.719 --> 00:41:32.079
and there was like, out of the ten suppliers that

712
00:41:32.639 --> 00:41:37.199
he thought he had prepared applications for at the very beginning,

713
00:41:38.960 --> 00:41:42.000
seven of them he actually did prepare applications, and five

714
00:41:42.039 --> 00:41:45.320
of them had personal guarantees that he got way. And

715
00:41:45.400 --> 00:41:48.880
so he's now with the new buyer. He's eliminating any

716
00:41:49.039 --> 00:41:54.840
hassle for his wife or any his heirs or himself,

717
00:41:55.480 --> 00:42:00.840
eliminating any hassle. Yeah, because he's he does no longer

718
00:42:00.920 --> 00:42:04.760
has personal guarantees with suppliers, because whoever buys the company,

719
00:42:05.039 --> 00:42:07.360
if they do a Mickey mouse job, or if they're

720
00:42:07.400 --> 00:42:11.480
not good operators and they take the company, he can

721
00:42:11.519 --> 00:42:16.280
get exposed. I have seen it. It sounds impossible, but

722
00:42:16.400 --> 00:42:16.679
it is.

723
00:42:16.719 --> 00:42:18.119
It's no, it's not.

724
00:42:18.800 --> 00:42:22.400
And my uncle said to me, you know, one of

725
00:42:22.440 --> 00:42:25.760
the problems with it is is the whole reason you

726
00:42:25.880 --> 00:42:30.159
have a corporation is to not have personal liability. So

727
00:42:30.239 --> 00:42:32.800
what's the point if you're going to sign a personal

728
00:42:32.880 --> 00:42:37.400
guarantee of having the corporation if you're going to be

729
00:42:37.440 --> 00:42:38.719
personally liable anyway?

730
00:42:39.079 --> 00:42:39.519
That's right.

731
00:42:39.960 --> 00:42:43.199
Yeah, So how do people reach out more for more

732
