Spay and Neuter - Removing Organs + Preparing for Exit - Positively Pipeman

0:04 Hi, you love done to the censure. Wow for you young. This is the pipe Man here on the Adventures of pipe Man W four C Y Radio. And once again we're back with the amazing pet health Guru here on the Positively pipe Man segment of the Adventures of Pipe Man. Later in the show, we're gonna talk about some powerful business strategies. We're gonna give away some tickets to festivals. But right now we're gonna talk about spay and neutering.

0:44 And my first question anyway, Bill, is why don't they call it spain neutering for for humans, like you know, humans get castrated or their sectomy or you know, or was it that hysterectomy and like but with with pets at Spey and newt or where did that all come from? The only one thing I can say about that is they just didn't want to make it sound harsh. You know, It's like we want it to be the compassionate thing to do to these poor animals, you know, removing body parts, and it's like, you know, let's make it just sound a little bit softer and easier than you know, oh, we just ripped out your uterus or you know, it's it's you know, so many is there's so many items like that that are different, even diseases, and that they call them different things. With the animals, they renamed the drugs, you know, so that you can't put two and two together.

1:46 It's just a confusion. Thing, Yeah, totally. And I don't know as a human, I would prefer to be called by a more common name thing than castration. That's the procedure. That's the procedure. No, it's it's it's just it doesn't make any sense. But they had to take they had to make it. So it sounds like this is a compassionate thing to do, when in reality, we're cutting an animal's life and half by doing this. And they knew just back in the nineteen fifties. And this seems kind of unnatural, right. Well, there's no extra body parts. I mean, it's it's just you know, the whole you know concept is we just can't keep breeding animals. We can't keep breeding animals.

2:39 And you know, on food animals it's a little bit different. You know, they cast rate bulls into steers. That's that's the change the flavor of the beef actually, and of course so that you know, for easier handling, because you know, when you take something out, you don't feel well, whole function. I want to know right now how. Castrating a bull makes the meat taste better. You don't get this strong testosterone taste. And of course you're getting a lot more muscling, but you get a lot. It's just it's a tougher meat because of it too, just because they're not there fighting each other.

3:23 You know, we have to build up our bodies. Oh yeah, but yeah, I mean it cuts their lifespan in half, which is a terrible thing to do. You never feel well again. I mean I can remember, you know, back in the fifties and the sixties. Yeah, I'm that old. When you know, moms would get a hysterectomy, they come home from the hospital, they were never the same person. It changes the whole personality. I can't see how you would be like, I mean, and think about it too. When they talk. About, you know, even in the extremes, like they should castrate a serial killer. Well, what does that tell you that the reason that they're doing it is to change the person? It tells you that right there, you know. Yeah, and with pets, well they tell you when you get a pet that you should spay in neuter so they calm down.

4:18 Yeah, calm them down. They don't go into and the females don't go into a heat cycle, so you know, there's no but one of these bad behaviors, of course, are also caused because of the poor nutrition and all the drugs and everything else. It just it's you know, when you take out a hormone producing organ, and it doesn't matter which one it is, you're gonna have problems with producing those hormones, which means you're adrenal gland, your thyroid, everything else has now got to work a lot harder. And of course that's gonna change your personality. It's gonna change your health level as well. You're not gonna be as healthy. You can't be. How could you, like, there's a reason you have these even like in humans they pick out organs that they say you don't need. If you didn't need it, it wouldn't be there. It does something.

5:07 Yeah, Well, the appendix was the biggest one of course for the longest time. In gall bladders. Well, you need the gall bladder to store bio so you get digest your food, and the we also need to have the good bacteria in our gun and that's when you remove those organs. You don't hear that anymore. So now everybody's on drugs for you know, all kinds of GI problems, ibd, IDBs, ulcers, you name it, because we've removed the organs that are needed needed to produce these types of things. Well, the gallbladder, that's like a big trend now, it's like pretty trendy. The minute you have any kind of paign, they just want to pull it out, like that's the first stop, Like that should be the last stop. And the thing is is that I think people should just use some common sense because they tell you when you're having your Goalbauer and bladder removed, how you need to change your diet for the rest of your life. Okay, my viewpoint is this, First of all, if you have to change your diet, that means you needed that organ.

6:21 But secondly, if you have to change your diet, how about you just change your diet and don't pull. The organ out of the body. You know, it's kind of that simple. I said that, you know, I reverse diabetes with just food, and my son he's like, I gotta give you a props. Dad. I wouldn't do what you're doing. I would just take the meds. And I'm like, but you don't get it. See, you're just like everybody else. Like even if I took the meds, I would have to eat this way. The meds are not permission to keep poisoning your body. No, So I just choose to eat this and not take demands.

7:02 Yeah. Yeah, I had a client from you in a couple of weeks ago and they were scheduling for ball ladder surgery. What else right? And I said, why, Well, the doctor says it's only working at twenty five percent capacity, so you're going to be working it at zero percent capacity. If you take it out, it means it's still working. Fix it, just fix it. You know. It's like, I don't know, people want this quick fix, but if you've poisoned your body for so long, you can't have to quick fix and taken something out of your body. Isn't a quick fix all thousands of percent more problems? In my opinion, I would I would think, of course.

7:45 The body can't function normally. All these parts are part of a system. But when you look at medicine today and you know we're seeing it more and more in veterinary medicine as well. Of course the humans act are doing form all these specialties. I think in human medicine there's no ninety some specialties. You're looking at one body part. Well, if you get a heart problem, what caused a heart problem? You know, if you weren't born with it, you had to do something to your body that caused that heart to start having a problem. And of course the bulk of it goes back to foods, the nutrition, the poisons, all of the poisons and you know it. So you're starting to break it down.

8:25 Stop putting poison in the body is replacing every cell all the time anyway, replace it with good cells, not more bad ones. I mean that's all cancer is, is the. Form celves exactly. And here's the thing too, okay, as a good analogy for the people listening, think of all the times you buy something where assembly is required, and how many people end up with extra parts and think that's normal. No, there's not extra parts. You forgot to put a part in, and then a few years down the road that things falling apart, why because of those extra parts that you thought was an extra part. So having extra parts means falling apart.

9:10 Yes, well, it's like you know, of course we do processing and that sort of thing. So I have some industrial equipment and I'll walk by and I'm like, where's there's a bolt missing here? Where is it? Well, I don't know, I don't know. Nobody saw it. Well, if if a bolt fell out and fell on the floor, somebody had to clean it up, and nobody bothers to ask where did that come from? Nobody has the curiosity to look. And then then of course the next thing, you know, again you have failures going on, and it's like leave it to ask the bot what should we do? How do we fix it? Work? Where's the part? Where is the freaking part? You know? Or some of them will take you know.

9:51 Safety equipment. Oh my god, that's another biggie you know in the processing. Oh it just it was in my way, so I took it off. Okay, Yeah, and you just cut off your finger on on the band. Saw right. Exactly. You could do that with anything, like I go surfing if you don't have a leash on, yeah, the leash gets in the way. I've had my leg tied up by a leash, but without the leash. Several bad things can happen mm hmm, including death for me or somebody else. Yeah, you know, so like. Listen, some things may inconvenience us, some things we may think that don't matter, but there's always a reason. And I don't understand why people don't think of that, that there's a reason why those organs are there.

10:41 Well, one of the big things that I have with veterinarians when it comes to Spain neuter two. It's like, well, we don't want your you know, your female dog dog to get uterine cancer. We don't want the male dog to get prostate cancer. Well, first off, the male dogs don't get prostate cancer if you're if they're intact, that's a healthy body. When we take it out, that's when they have more problems. But they say, you know, we don't want to I just look at the veterinarians when they say that, and it's like, listen, dout, I don't want you ever to get lung cancer, so let's remove your lungs, right, And. Usually that's what I'm mess cooted out of the building. You know, yeah exactly, But yeah, it.

11:22 Doesn't prevent anything. In fact, actually, it's just like some of the inoculations. You know, we see the disease after that occurs, not beforehand. These are animals that are supposed to be protected, people that are supposed to be protected, and the chances of because you lower the immune system, you don't have a body that's functioning properly. And you know, but pharmaceutical companies and the medical community makes a ton of money on this stuff, you know. Mm even with the weight loss industry. A lot of these things that these people are doing along with getting gastric sleeve or a gastric bypass or something like that, they would have to they would Why don't they just do that part because that's the part.

12:09 You know, how many people get a gastric sleeve, they don't follow the dietary guideline and then their stomach grows back and it's like it never happened and they didn't lose the weight. That should tell you that it's about what you eat, not what you take out of your body. Yeah, it's absolutely true. You know. I mean, let's face it, if you remove short just even not only organ but muscles. If they took out your calf muscle, you couldn't walk. Yeah, you know, it's. It's just the philosophy that you know, if it's not working right, remove that part. And you know, it's like I can take some a couple of years out of your transmission, your carl Ron, but probably not very far and not very well.

13:00 And you know, it's it's, it's And of course you know we also have to look at okay, when we do this stuff. This is surgery. Surgery is dangerous. You know, up to twenty five percent of animals that go under surgery die on the table from the anesthesia because there is no anesthesiologist normally in e vent hospital. It's a vet tech watching to make sure the animal is breathing, and that's all it is. And then of course you've got the healing on the other side of it. When you kind open the body, I don't care how big or how small it is. The body now has to divert its energy to healing that site. And so you know, if you've got other problems going on, which obviously if you're having surgery you do have other problems going on, those are neglected. That's actually how I lost my father to cancer. You went in for a physical when you retired. They told me you didn't know the physical to get his medical benefits, because then it's got a hernia.

14:03 Simple operations. So they said, you know, of course, now you see all a lawsuit for all about hernia operations. But when they opened him up, fixed the hernia, and it didn't heal, it wasn't healing, and so of course there this is back in the nineteen nineties, the diagnostic tool of choice was exploratory surgery. Opened up bound, he had cancer, closed him up, and he died the Again, the prevailing wisdom was when airheads cancerselves, they grew like crazy. No, the body was keeping his cancer in check until they made the first incision, and then it was still working on cancer.

14:48 That's why the hernia operation wasn't healing fast enough. And when they did the when they did the exploratory, of course, now I've got a massive, you know, incision, I have to heal that. The cancer just takes over. And I mean the whole system is absolutely backwards. Hmm. Or is it Maybe it's on purpose. I don't know, I'm just speculating. I think, well, it's by design, let's put it that way. On purpose. Is it a purposeful design? Well, if money's the goal, money is a goal a lot of times. Yeah, looking at how our gas prices keep going down. Now it's only going to be for it was only going to be for a couple of days.

15:34 That was gonna shoot up. This is with gas prices, the same thing with everything. It just becomes the new norm. Okay, this will be the new norm for gas prices people complain about in a few years from now, they'll be like, oh, I wish it was at four dollars again, you know, and so like I think the same with pets. It's like, I don't know, it's really really expensive to have a pet, and that shouldn't be. No, it shouldn't. It never used to be, you know. I mean when I started in the industry, and that was originally looking to go to that school. And to be honest, most of the vets back in when you're look in the sixties were stilled pretty much country vets, you know, handling livestock and stuff like that, just general practitioners.

16:23 There was no regular office visits, there was no schedule, there was no wellness checks, there was. None of that stuff. And they were true dignosticians. They could actually look at an animal and see what was wrong with it and knew exactly what to do, and today, of course they you know, all they're doing is pumping drugs, send it on to another specialist that's going to look at that one body part and not have any answers as to why it happened. You know, why did your gallbladder go back? You know, why did your appendix first? You know, appendicitis, it's an inflammation. What's inflaming it? You know? Oh what a concept? Yeah, you mean you actually want to know what caused it to happen?

17:06 Well, you know, do you think you might be able to prevent it if you knew what caused it? Hmm? And like with this whole spey and neutering thing, how come people give so much hate to other people that don't spay and neuter. Because they've been programmed to think that. You know, you're just you're you're a bad pet parent. You don't care enough about your animals to do it. That's a big part of that, right there, is. That who is spay and neutering out in the wild though? Nothing do they have like a doctor zayis or something that doesn't well. You know, yeah, I guess I I guess they have that done in the same place as where they buy their vitamins and supplements and you know, their prefabricated meals and everything. You know, it's like, no, nature is perfect, not necessarily and our eyes. You know, when a cat catches a bird and is eating it, Oh my god, it's a terrible thing, you know, but a mouse, well will tolerate that because we don't like mice.

18:11 Mice are bad. Rats are bad. This is the whole thing, you know. It's a balance, it's a perfect balance, but we've tried to add emotion to it, and of course that's spells disaster in many cases. I think too. Things happen the way they're supposed to happen, and when you start like using mad science to change that, there's. A lot of problems from that. Yeah, that's just. My opinion, just my opinion for you people at YT, just my opinion. It's you know, when you look at the problems with society today too, it's the same thing, because you know, when you alter the hormones, and it can be doesn't even chemically, you know those chemical cast rations now that they can do and that sort of thing. But once you start throwing that batty out of balance, you don't know which way it's gonna spin.

19:10 Well, and the body may not know how to acclimate to it in a way that would be beneficial. You know, it'll acclimate, but you know it's kind. Of like taking the steering and wheel off a car and then going to drive it. Yeah, at eighty miles an hour exactly. Yeah, So tell everybody how they can find out more more about this and other pet health and human health. You know, truths will just say truth, you know.

This is the pipe Man here on the Adventures pipe Man W four c Y Radio with our Positively Pipeman segment and this is where we talk about some powerful business strategies from Michael Barbarita or Resident Expert. And this week we're going to talk about preparing for exit. That is a very important subject for anybody that's a business owner because you should always have an exit and Michael want you to why and how to.

24:02 Do right well because someday you will be separated from your business. The question is will it be? Will be a great day? And so a lot of and a lot of baby boomers right now, which is a large part of the population, are selling their business. So from a demographics standpoint, a lot of people are looking for the exit. And uh, you know, the exit isn't something It's not like selling a house where you just put a sales sign on it, or or you know, selling some type of asset that you have. It's it's totally it's totally different. It involves and you know in my description, I talk about how you need to prepare at least two years. It's probably closer to three would probably be the optimum amount of time if you're thinking about selling.

24:53 It's not like you can't think about selling on January first, twenty twenty six and try to sell the business at the best price you can, but at the best price and an opportunity, uh, in twenty twenty and try to sell it in twenty twenty six. It's just it's just not the way to go about doing it right. Right, So, uh, some of the things that we have to you have to do is first of all, you have to keep yourself keep the company focused on growth, because you do want to if you if you're going to be selling in the next couple of years, you do want to maximize your a profit because you know, that's why people buy a business. They buy it. They buy a business for two things. Number one, so the business they will pay and they'll pay more money for a business that is a business and not a job. Very important designation there that I'll get to in a moment, but uh, you know, and they and they and they will pay.

25:49 They want to pay for opportunity, They want to they don't want to. They don't want to buy a stagnant business. They want to buy a growing business. So you have to constantly keep the eye on growth. Also, you have to reduce the reliance on you. The more you reduce the reliance on you, the more valuable the businesses. Why because people don't want to buy jobs, they want to buy businesses. And so if you if if if the if the buyer foresees that they have to do a lot of work, that they have to work eighty hours a week like you do, Uh, that's a problem because that's they're buying a job that that that doesn't work. So that I mean some people would do that, but that's but you get a low nickel, you get a low price. When that happens, it's you know, it's just the the eve, but the multiple goes down.

26:40 Mm hmm. You're gonna you're gotta make sure your accounting records are in shape because if a buyer, if a buyer goes in there and your accounting records are a mess, I mean, they're just gonna walk away and not even gonna give you remotely right an opportunity to make an offer good right now, right it's going to be in line. The other thing is you have if you're a seller, you have to understand your tax ramifications of the sale, because that one can blow you right out of the water depending upon the structure. One of the worst structures to sell is a sea corporation because there's a there's a double taxation associated with that. Yeah, okay, once to the company, they get taxed, and then you want to take the money out of the company and put it in your pocket, it gets taxed again. So uh, you have to really convert that cea corporation to a subasse and that can coust you some money for sure, not just in preparation, but also more importantly in there's there's a there's this thing called the built in gains tax, which is a nightmare.

27:48 But but but it's better if it's better to convert and pay that built in gains tax, uh than not convert and pay the double tax when you sell. So if you're a if you're a C corporation. Get out of it. That's But in the meantime, understand the tax ratifications. You've gotta You've got to understand are your state planning ratifications. Okay, you want you want to make sure that if there is a sale and uh, if you're not around, you want to make sure it goes into the right hands. Or if there is a sale and you are around, you're now gonna be uh hopefully uh dealing with a pile of money that you have to you know, properly uh a state planned for. So that's that's another important consideration.

28:40 Strategic buyers are always willing to pay more, even though they don't let on that they will. M okay, So a strategic buyer is somebody who is in the same business or or serves similar customers that that then you do. They already have the overhead base and all all they're doing is piling your sales onto their overhead base, so a lot of that profit falls to the bottom line. They're willing to pay more. They won't let on that they are, but they are so looking. Looking for strategic buyers is a way to maximize the purchase price. You should have evaluation done on the company, not that and by the way, most valuations that have done are definitely overstated the price in my opinion, but it's good to have because it's an overstated price, and it's good to get an overstated price. So usually evaluation is something that you should do during that two to three year period, you're going to find a good business attorney. Without a good business attorney, somebody who understands how to negotiate, somebody who understands business and law, because us no matter what the what the case is, there's usually there's usually a couple of crisis points in like every deal, and you need a lawyer who understands the business ratification so they

30:11 can negotiate on your behalf, because you don't want to sit there and negotiate all that you know, certainly the main the major terms and negotiated, but all the mickey mouse terms that can actually ruin a deal that those are our best serve between the attorneys. And if your attorney understands the business concepts, they're going to have a leg up on the other attorney during that type of negotiation. So that's critical as well. You gotta understand. You've got to decide what your role is gonna be. Some some sellers stay with the company in this capacity that they were in when they were the owner. So that's the other components. What role do you want to play? Some are just you know, consultants to the business and they get paid for that. By the way, don't blow that one.

31:01 If you're a consultant to the business, Uh, you should get paid for that. And by the way, UH, that's earned income versus capital gain on the business, and that might be taxed at a lower rate. So you might be able to allocate purchase price toward a consulting agreement, which is something that you might not do any work on, but you might answer questions from time to time, and you're probably willing to do that at a price, and you should and you should be, but you can allocate purchase price to that. You can also allocate purchase price. If you own the building, you can allocate some purchase price to increase rent. That helps because the building will help.

31:45 UH. The depreciation on the building will help offset some of that extra income. So it's just another way to to manage it. When I sold my my businesses too, I used to allocate price toward telephone numbers and different types of intangible assets. Now these you know, at the time when I did it, it was a five year right off. Now it's fifteen, so it's not as much of an advantage. But the more assets that you could allocate purchase price to. Usually the better you off tax wise, but you should consult your tax attorney or you tax your tax person on that. So there's a there's just a bunch of things and my list is even longer, but there's just a lot of things that you need to do to prepare for a sale. It's not one of these things where you just put a sign out or you know, just ask a couple of people if they want to buy, want to buy? Want to buy? I want to buy.

32:43 It just doesn't work like that, no dog right. And if you want to use a broker, there's a lot of reputable brokers out there, but you've got to be careful because there's there's brokers who really don't understand business and uh because there's really no there's no license to be a business broker per se. There really is, and they love to spam. You, that's right, they do. Yeah, that's another thing. But those are those are the main points in terms of if you're going to be selling a business, you've got to prepare for it. And you know, like I said, there's a lot more points you have to think about as well, but those are the those are the critical ones that I think if you if you understand those types of things and plan ahead for those types of things, you're going to be in good shape.

33:35 Very cool, and uh, yeah, it is very important. I think it's very important that somebody consult with an expert on something like this so that they don't make any mistakes. And that's where I think they need to reach out to you, Michael and next Step CFO. How can they reach out to you and get more information on how to do a proper exit strategy or anything else haven to do with any powerful business strategies. Well, they could go to next Step CFO dot net. They could go to the contact page and ask any question they'd like.
