We specialize in anything, insurance restoration, water, fire, mold, asbestos, and also anything contents. So if your pipe burst, you can give us a call anytime, any place. Nice.

But, um, I just think it's cool because everyone in that group, you included, is super cool, super awesome. Awesome, and it's just amazing the the relationships that that you build. For me, BNI is super crazy because not only meeting you guys and Afton and MJ and Misty and everybody in between that's been part of the group, but I got invited because of Edwin with TBG. I met him a couple years ago through social media, and we became best friends. Him and his buddy, Ricardo, the owner, we became best friends. And he's like, hey. I got a new b, and I got invited to you from Afton. And I'm like, oh, I knew who that is. Let's go find out what's it about. And it was perfect placement. We got three other or three total contractors, and it's a perfect mix of everybody that just wants to help each other grow and be the most badass selves of you know, version of themselves. That's cool, man. I Edwin's cool because have you seen his videos on social media? They're awesome. He he knows how to grab attention for sure. There were some good stuff that were what? I never thought about doing that. Like that, that's pretty cool. Um, sweet. Alright. Well, just to get into it. So the Bold News Podcast, I was telling you earlier, we talk about everything that as a entrepreneur, as a person, business owner, or what whatever you do, the bold moves that you've had to make in your life and the journey that you've gone through. And these are risks. These are the leap of faith. These are just things that, you know, most people take a step back and go, well, I don't know if I should do this. I just wanna take a moment and find if you can tell tell us what's that one, like, dramatic or pivotal moment that just sticks with you to this day, something that just really made you just stop in your tracks. So in March of twenty two, I was working for another contractor that specializes in the same industry as their mitigation manager. And I was there for about a year, and I had known the owner for quite some time. And it wasn't exactly what I was looking for as far as culture or the environment I wanted to be in. So my now fiance and ex business partner had convinced me to leave and go get my contractor's license. So it was March 14 to be exact. It was a very abrupt departure there, so it was not very, uh, a good time of my life. It was bad. I I was not very happy when I was there. So I made the decision up and quit, sold my trucks, sold my razor, put all my money in, bought a trailer, and launched classic of July of twenty two with four original partners. And, actually, I'm now the sole owner with no partners, um, as of, uh, December nineteenth of last year. So I've had many bold moves. I won starting the company, and then I fell on my face, didn't pass my license the first time, had to get a job. My ex, my business partner at the time, had left to go to Florida, did hurricane work for another company, was gone for about eight months, came back. We reconnected with the goal of, hey. Classic's gonna come around at some point. And then exact date, I believe, I passed the test, August '23, and we officially started marketing October 23. So we've only been open about a year and seven months, I think. And our first year, we, you know, grew exponentially and kind of fell on our face again. We had two locations. We opened Arizona. Arizona was booming. We had nine guys killing it, loving it. I left to launch Ohio, which was our second location. I was gone for about three months, and we did, you know, about a hundred thousand or so in revenue. Not a lot, but enough in a whole a market that I've never been to. And so, unfortunately, when I lost my ex business partner, I was in Ohio, so I had to hurry up and pack my family up, my seven, eight month year old son, and his first Christmas was, uh, canceled. So came back home, let go of my entire team, and rebuilt from the ground up. I had one guy that stayed with me, my construction manager. He's been with me about a year and a half now. I love him to death. Shout out Nelson. He's been amazing. One of my best friends now. He's an older gentleman, but he's one of my best friends. So, um, I've faced I felt like I've just taken to the chin, stand up, and just keep on moving. I was always told I wouldn't be able to do this by, you know, families, new people, um, the beginning. And here we are, you know, time has fallen falling down and pick ourselves back up, and we're just a hundred times stronger. I have a team that I couldn't live without. My mitigation manager I've known for about a decade. He's been with me at two other companies. My construction manager has been with me a year and a half. My new lead technician I just hired about a month ago has been an all star, and all of our helpers, my fiance is our office manager, from my marketing rep, JB, to I mean, in between, I couldn't do it without my team. And, like, when I say, like, my number one reason I chose that name was when you think of older generation, you know, one does it like you used to. When you say you're gonna do something, you do it. And so classic came to me as, like, the classic touch. Like, what we wanna bring back is the if you have a word and you can stick by it, then you you can do anything in this world as long as you say you're gonna do something and you go through with it. Nice. Classic. Yeah. I like it. Man, so you had people tell you that you that you weren't able to do this? Like, it wasn't gonna happen? Yeah. I'm a high school dropout, so I dropped out um, senior year due to I got in a severe car accident when I was headed home one day from football practice, and all my football and everything that was going on for me had been thrown out the window. So at that time, I was 17 going on 18. My entire life was pulled away from me, sports wise. And my father, I'm a second generation contractor, owns another local company that's been in the valley for about twenty five years. I worked for him for about nine years and learned most of what I know from him and then departure to his company in '21, moved down to North Carolina for a year, helped my buddy and his dad start a company. Things didn't work out, so I went ahead and moved to Ohio with my girl and her family, and I worked for Belfor, one of the world's largest restoration companies. And when we got down to Ohio, I was there for maybe a month and we got, you know, work and everything. Hey. You're going down to Louisiana for a hurricane. So we packed up me, my girlfriend, and my dog, and we went down to Louisiana. And we lived there for about nine months down in Nola. It was the coolest experience. I mean, down south are the best. The food's the best. It just devastation like that is insane. Like, when you see, like, out, like, restoration, you know, it sucks. It's sad. Mhmm. But when you see whole cities and everything torn upside down and you got people just walking around tears in their eyes because there's nothing left at the home and then you're the one that has to be there to, you know, children to cry on and help them not only pick up their stuff but also rebuild their home and give them some kind of hope. So it was probably the coolest experience that I gotta do. And one of my goals for classic is going forward is to be able to do disaster relief such as hurricanes, tornadoes, anything along those lines. Wow. That's wild. You played football in in high school? Yeah. I went to Mesa High for two years, and then I got transferred to Hamilton. And I played at Hamilton for a year. Okay. And you got in a car accident? Yeah. I mean, my brother picked me up one day from practice. We were on The US 60 right under the McClintock Overpass and, uh, we were at a dead stop and the guy was texting and driving and hit us at a dead stop going about 80 miles an hour. So my c six and c seven vertebrae and my back twisted, so I had to go to chiropractor for, like, a e straight. Wow. Yeah. I told her if I got hit the wrong way, I could be paralyzed. So everything stopped and I worked before I got into restoration, I was a fabricator by trade. I worked for a local shop, and my buddy and his dad and family ran building, like, Ultrafars. I was, like, a guy. Mhmm. Traveled the country for, like, a year and a half, just badass, like, Baja four hundred, anything like that. So I did that. That's, like, my little passion is the dirt. I got a dirt bike. I used to have a RZR. My goal is to get another RZR eventually. Nice. But anything to go fast and get that adrenaline going is Yeah. That's what I do. That's did you ever have, like, desires to play football, like, professionally? It was my dream. I started playing baseball when I was, you know, and then about eight years old is when I started playing football. And then from eight years old all the way to my senior year, it was either martial arts, which I did judo and jiu jitsu for about ten years and then football. Those that was my life for about ten years and then I stopped judo and jiu jitsu my sophomore year in high school to focus strictly on football because I was getting attention, you know, big guy, strong, quick on my feet, and I was getting attention for, you know and when I transferred to Hamilton, it was like an open book, like, recruiter talking to me without even playing a single down just off my videos, my strength, my size. So if I I've been in the house for a reason. Yeah. Good, ugly, no matter what, because if I didn't get in that car accident, um, my fiancee that I've been now, you know, engaged for about two months now, a little late, but we've been together eleven years. We're high school sweethearts. Nice. If I didn't get in that car accident and I would've went to a school, we never probably would've lasted. And now I have a one year old son. That's literally the best thing ever that Yeah. Has changed my life per you know, perspective tremendously. So Yeah. That's Yeah. I I'm a firm believer too. Like, everything for a reason. You know? It's amazing too because we have no idea, like, what our kids are gonna become At all. You know? Could be, like, solving crazy problems that the world needs at the, you know, whatever. Like, who, like, it's interesting to to really think about. You can go down a rabbit hole. Oh, it's what I'm saying. My my son was born. He was born not breathing, so he was a sneaky baby for about seventeen days. He had to put him on a one of those ice beds to help him because he had a stroke, and they were trying to you know, if were to happen. So but, you know, grace of God, he's, you know, by 11 talking all I mean, happens. So he is just the best thing ever. So I always say, like, your baby boss because he he would get home from work or he sees the truck. He always goes to grab the logo, and I always tell him, like, this are you, buddy. I got you forever. So he's yeah. I guess, friend. Nice. Like, baby, that's a good news. Yeah. That's come baby, dude. My kids love that movie. Just kind of here, like, what what was the risk? So, like, was was it moving to Arizona or was it start starting the business that kinda Start so the biggest risk was I would say, like, leaving home state was a risk, but nothing like starting my own company and taking on risk of not only myself, but at the time when I finally did pass the test, we had just found out Amanda, my fiance, was pregnant. So it was like, I can't work for nobody and raise a kid the lifestyle and the things I wanna give him. Yeah. And I was raised, you know, great parents. I have two siblings that are, you know, super close, and we, you know, a lot of things together. Um, but with that, it was harder to start the business than leave my family. Mhmm. And that's because I don't it it's a territory. I think it's more of, like, one of my biggest influences is Andy Frasalo. He always says, it's called no no man's land. And, like, when you're just there by yourself, and you're the one trying to figure out a way way way to get the jobs come in. Are you gonna make payroll? Can you expand? Can you buy new shirts and hats? Can you wrap your vehicle? Can you buy business cards? Can you whatever that may be, it's 10 times more of a stress and a risk because it's not just you Yeah. But your team. It's with one individual or a hundred individuals, you have to wake up every day and it's like, it's not just about me anymore. It's not just about my family. It's like, uh, the way I think about my team and we're we're football players, extra world players, and a couple of college players. I'm the quarterback. Without me, we won't win. But also without you guys, I die. And I try to use that analogies so much because we're only strong as our weakest if our helpers or our technicians, which I call my linemen, if they're not doing what they need to do, then me bringing all the jobs and selling all the jobs and doing all this, it's it's for nothing. So it's it's, um, to now two years later where I am because two years ago, if you would ask me, you know, taking this risk, what do you think is gonna be the outcome? I never thought I would have been I never thought I would have went through what I went through. So now the hardest move was starting the business. Moving away wasn't that bad once once I got gone. Because North Carolina is is is a gorgeous, gorgeous place. I was in an apartment in Raleigh and Charlotte, so we were able to go back and forth. So we were there just a year, and it was nonstop, like, construction. So where we this is where we worked. So we were doing apartment renovations. So we got a free apartment, and then we literally wake up and just go to work. Oh, wow. So it was cool. One of the my favorite is in the world is North Carolina. Really? Yeah. That's where I wanna wind up. Nice. Nice. Yeah. The coast is nice. The the South, it it got some areas, but, man, during the summertime The humidity, boy, you better pack three shirts to work. Like, I I think, uh, probably around six months in Augusta, Georgia, uh, for The beautiful Nationals, man. Did you watch it this year? No. No. I didn't. It's always every time stuff like that happens, I'm always doing military stuff because this was for I had to do, like, basic officer training. Um, basically, it's at, uh, Fort Gordon. It was, like, for, like, signal. So I was doing telecommunications and whatnot. I just remember it was just muggy. It was Yeah. It was bad. Yeah. I didn't wanna go back. But I'm curious. Why why did that risk matter to you, like, so much? What's on the line? I don't know if it was the thought of being total to do the rest of my life because in my mind, it was like make or break. If I don't pass it this time, I'm just gonna forever be a statistic that didn't make it because I don't know the exact number, but I think businesses within the first year, I think it's like 80 some odd percent. I don't know the exact, but it's pretty high. Don't quote me on that. But it's, um, it was a pain because I iced trucks, sold my razor, literally had, you know, about 15 equipment, bought another truck, and we started a closet with $3 and a dream. It was literally $3 in the bank account, and our first marketing effort was keep cauldrons during Halloween, and we've got stickers, and we pulled them full of candy and called them boo buckets. And that's how we went marketing was dropping off boo buckets. And within a couple days, you know, a couple of days, and one of my relationships that I made that day, I still work with today two years later. And one of my best friends, um, been here. He's agent locally, but, yeah, he's one of my best friends now because when he started, he was only, like, three months in the game when we opened, so we kind of been helping grow. But, yeah, it's pretty much I think that's why. Yeah. That's crazy. Yeah. A lot of that here, like, I don't know exact percentage, but they fail. And I think what they say out of 10 times, you know, you're gonna nine times before it actually takes off. It's not about failing. It's just about picking yourself back up really because I've I mean, listen to my guys, fall on your face. Yeah. As long as you fall on your face learning something and not doing it over and over and over again, you know, insanity. Yeah. I I this this mindset of of not looking to necessarily win, because I do, but looking to fail. Like, what else can fail at? Yeah. You know what I mean? And it's I know it sounds kind of, like, twisted, but when you think about it, it's like, okay. Well, if failing, then you're not really trying and you're not really experimenting and trying to see what works Because I can tell you I fail a lot. I've tried I've done many types like businesses and, you know, fail. You know, some stuff, you know, I who knows when that one will actually take off. You know? Oh, it takes that one time. Yeah. And I I I think there's some people that have that that fire that's, you know, entrepreneurial spirit. Some people don't, which is fine, you know, um, but take passion to want to Yeah. Keep going and and doing that. It's just interesting. Like a burning passion that you can it won't let you sleep sometimes. Yeah. That is true. What's your life look like before you decided to make that decision? So I worked for my father at the time for about nine years, so I dropped out. I should have graduated 2015, so I dropped out 2014 and then did the off roading stuff for a little bit. And then about 2015, went to go work for him full time as a helper and then slowly made my way up to the technician, and then, um, manager, marketer, everything between for about eight years. And then after that, it was just trying to make sure I knew what I wanted to do because I always thought I was gonna work there forever. And when that got taken away or, you know, things happen to happen, I made a decision that I would never work for anybody, and that was why I just decided to go for it and, you know, risk it off. There was a transition. It was like, okay. I'm an employee. I built this company, and then, oh, they don't care about you. Well, we're I'm gonna bounce around. You know, I left, did that, and then came home, and then launched, and then failed, and then relaunched. And then ever since then, it would it's been rolling. Would you consider that, like, your the breaking for you? That was like, okay. Leaving yeah. Leaving break I mean, um, I definitely was it was a point from personal, but also, like, my professional lifestyle choice because, like I said, I was there for so long. It was my dad's. I thought I was gonna, you know, be there if that was not the case. But looking back now, I'm happy to I'm happy because I wouldn't be where I'm at. I'd still be stuck there, you know, not making much as I'm doing now or giving the opportunities I can give to my guys or even like last Friday, we did cornhole for a cause. Being able to give back and donate to a cause like that is something important to me because, one, it's cool to say, hey. You know, we're back. But, one, it's a cool cause, but also that family dealing with that cancer was the same cancer my mom had when I was a kid. So it hit home, and it was, like, amazing feeling. Took the team out. Everybody had a good time, you know, networked, saw Affton, saw all my cousins, um, bunch of friends, family that I've been, you know, because I'm in the industry for so long. But, yeah, it was definitely breaking point was leaving there and realizing, like, I can do and after realizing I could do it, traveling and doing all that stuff, it was coming home was a no brainer because all my roots are here. My connection's here. All my relations are here. Like, Will, our plumber in the group Yeah. Has been one of my best friends, and we played football together. I grew up with his cousins, and we've known each other for almost two decades probably since we were, like, nine or 10, do football and then went to went to high school. And I used him all the time before BNI, and then I ran into him one day driving by my office. I'm like, bro, I got this BNI. You should come visit. And I'm happy I like, going back to your question, I'm happy I took the risk because not only does it, like, change my life, if you use, you know, the givers Yeah. The more you you will gain, and that is, like, my core, like, love to just produce and give other people work. Because it may not be tomorrow, may not be a year from now, but in six months, twelve months, twelve years, that favor will be returned. And I have a couple buddies, very few, but they're the same way. Years ago, I'd always take care of them, and then fast forward, you know, ten years fell on my face couple months, four or five months ago and had to rebuild. They were there to pick me up and, you know, help me move in my house when I moved across country, help me, you know, go to job sites and get shit caught up and Mhmm. Everything in between. They were there for me. So I'm happy. Yeah. I'm happy where we're at now. It was it was a decision back then. It was not definitely I mean, not I would I said it was because as you know, there's probably frustration, anger, tears, happiness, joy, everything in between. Yeah. I mean, when risks, there's always an element of pressure, you know, and you were you're touching on that. So I mean, kind of to that, I mean, what were for you? You know, like, you look at it both, like, on a personal and professional level. I mean, what was if this didn't work out? For me, uh, like I said, if it didn't work out, I in my mind, it was I would be another employee. Just living the basic life, never having the nice things. And, I mean, materialistic things aren't the most important, but there are definitely things in life that I want to achieve whether it's a nice car, nice truck, watches, houses, traveling, money in the bank, properties, whatever that may be. That motivates me to a certain degree, but also, you know, one, my son, you know, to give life, you know, they deserve to be happy and not stress. I'll bear that stress. But also my team, if I do that too, it's gonna be better for them because they can succeed more. If I bear the stress and deal with it, I think it's better instead of, like, pushing it off. Mhmm. Yeah. Yeah. A lot of people don't realize the amount of stress that's on a business owner because from the employee perspective, you know, they see that's the good life, you know. Like, they're donor stuff and they're not in here doing the grind and there's a whole other grind behind. Yeah. And they don't they'll see behind the scenes when you're midnight still right in estimates or when you're at the office till 02:00 in the morning or you're showing up, you know, at midnight, it's a large loss. I mean, you know, it's a responsibility owner because of certain relationship, you know. There's sometimes guys in, like, you know, the trust, you know, because it's maligned. Mhmm. And so you have to find the right key players that you can, you know, delegate and produce and take care of everybody in between. Whether it's a personal aspect, take care of their family, or business aspect, take care of our customers. Because I always tell everybody, treat our customers like your grandma. I like that. That's good. Treat treat customers like your grandma. Because I know everybody better respect their grandma because I miss mine. Yeah, man. No. That's true. That's when it wheeze a little bit here, you know, that exact you decided, okay, I'm gonna make jump, you know, kind of in that place, you know, where were what was happening, you know, and and feeling like in that moment when you decided, yep, I am doing this. In that moment, man, it feels like forever ago. But in that moment, I would say I felt a sense of urgency and but also it seems like I didn't have listened to anybody anymore. Like, this is now if I make it happen, it's because of me. If I don't make it happen, it's because of me. And every time we've succeeded, it's because of my guys. Every time we fail, that's on me. Um, but in that moment, it was, man, I'm trying to close my eyes and remember as best as I can, but probably a lot of tears for sure because I was definitely nervous. But the day I got the license was the the real day. I was like, oh shit. This is this is this is now it's not a dream. Now it's not just a idea. Like, this is legit. I went for my k b two which were licensed for everything residential and then small commercial which is up to $2,000,000 which is still large jobs. So it was probably I mean besides my son and the day I get married, it was probably one of the best moments of my life. Like the the the energy belief or the energy attitude, what I would say of, like, okay. We're gonna get one foot in front of another, and we're gonna make it happen. So I'm curious. So your business, you do both restoration and construction. Yes. So can you explain the like, restoration? Is that just, like, fixing up old things, making them look nicer? Or is that from damage and you're making So the terminology restoration is, like, water, fire, mold, asbestos, like, environmental, anything like typically, like, we all do rehabs, you know, old stuff or same thing, different terminology. I don't understand it. Restoration is more like the disaster, like the water fire, like I said. But, like, the construction, it give you cabinets, new flooring, new paint, or a whole new custom build or license. We do we have framers, drywallers. The only thing we can do in house is electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. Okay. But if someone wanted to remodel their kitchen Correct. K. Well, we can come there and do the demo, do the plans, do the renderings, cabinet selections, flooring selections. We work with certain distributors where we can offer good material for a better price. We go direct instead of going through Home Depot, Lowe's, or the big box stores. So, So, yeah, full service restoration. So twenty four to three hundred and sixty five days a year, whether it's your birthday or my birthday, we'll be there. And then remodeling, it could be exterior paint, interior paint, trim, flooring, a gut, moving walls, adding walls, additions, concrete. Additions too? Everything. Yeah. Yeah. We do. So shout out Derek and Brittany Rowe because we're working on a lure, Mets ball right now. And that one, we're we're gonna be doing a lot of demo and, uh, framing out all their new rooms. So, yeah, we do anything. So I'm DC is the best way to put it. Like, I'm a general contractor. So anything residential and commercial, we can handle. So I'm curious, like, let's say you have a that has, like, the interior is basically, like, maybe even 30 old. Alright? Um, hasn't been updated since it was built, like, in '99. Nothing's been, like like, if someone wanted to, like, bring this up, the whole house, I think, needs to be, like, you know, fixed. Uh, but the if on the kitchen and bathrooms, what would the, like, average I know you give cost, but I'm just saying, like, what would be and that someone would be prepared to have to spend for updating, like, a kitchen. Not like into the nines. I mean, but just something where it's a little bit more modern. I mean, average, like, say, kitchen, like, product, like, our if you go through our cabinets, our countertop, our flooring, we could probably get you, you know, anywhere from the $1,523,000. That's demo cabinets. Could get them flat pack so we're able to, you know, build them ourselves, glue them. So they come from China, preassembled, dovetail, soft close, all the fancy stuff, but we put them together. And that's why we're able to save money because at Home Depot, they come prebuilt, so they charge more. But yeah. On average, like, even about I mean, obviously, it's all about linear foot, square foot, material cost, wood selection, all that. But, like, say you're going, like, basic, hey. I wanna I have a rental. I wanna get it looking good so I can get a good renter in here. We can come in there and do, like, you know, even cheaper if you put I would say that's our probably best, like, on average I mean, with those extra miles, we'll do a hundred, $200,000 just in the kitchen. Yeah. But on average, I'm gonna say, like, example, we're doing a restoration right now, whole kitchen, we had to rip out the subfloor, all the lower cabinets, all the drywall, all the insulation, detached all the plumbing, everything to just to build it back is like 21,000. Wow. Okay. About average. But in the shower, all depends on average, like, 30 by 90, you know, your average 8 to $10 for tile shower with the tub. It all depends on product selection. With walk in shower, a little bit more because you have to do the curb and shower pan and all that. Okay. But and then flooring, we can Home Depot charges, say, 4 or $5 a square foot, but I get the same product or at least the same style, better product excuse me, better product and a cheaper price because I get it from the whole wholesale distributor. Interesting. Okay. In case you haven't caught, I'm talking to my house. Oh, yeah. We get free estimate and consultations. No. We, uh, we bought our house probably, like and it was a flip. Somebody trying to flip it, but the market changed. And so it was like a half flip. So Yeah. Flips aren't very usually I mean, they're they're they're gonna pig. Yeah. Yeah. We we figured that out really quick, the bunch of, um, stuff that we've had to fix and had our homeowner's insurance dropped, like, once when we first got in because some water issues that were there. Yeah. It was a mess. So we had a few years before that dropped off. Um, but, yeah, we we've been wanting to kind of update for a bit, and we've had stuff. And we've we've just gotten some outrageous quotes out there. You know. It's just like insane. No. No. No. It's getting expensive. Yeah. But I think a lot of contractors trying to come in and use that as an excuse. My biggest thing I tell my guys but also when I market is like, I'd rather have a hundred connections off of them and one connection to try and make a million dollars off of them because out of those hundred connections, who do they know that's gonna need me? Or who can they talk about no different than our our group, BNI? Who do who do each other know? Yeah. Get one customer, you do right. You you know, five star service, white glove, you do everything proper, they're gonna you do everything wrong, they're gonna talk about it. So either way, make a decision and do what's right, go above and beyond, and it's gonna pay off. So I'm curious, like okay. So, like, let's say someone has their in the back of you know, you've got pretty much a patio from, you know, side to side end to end. If you wanted to extend your house, like, another 10 feet, you know, across the is that doable? That something that is, like, I'm crazy. Right? Oh, yeah. Definitely doable. I'd use a park attack, you know, the proper things to make sure you're within code. Yeah. But, yeah, use your house as long as it's loud, you can extend it. You can raise the ceilings. You could turn it into a two story. Obviously, it ain't gonna make sense to do that, but you could. Okay. Now, generally speaking, is, like, in the leg where it's reasonable to, like, do something like that? To Adam Yeah. Um, depending I mean, it could be if you're messing with foundation, electrical roofing. Yeah. So but it's doable. I mean, it's hundreds and hundreds of depending on it could be $40.50, 60 depending on like a casita. Average casita, we've got a couple more like a hundred and 50, 2 hundred thousand for a whole casita. Wow. That's a that's about a thousand square foot casita. Yeah. 1,500 square foot. Yeah. It we're in a position where it's like want to to move to a more updated house but at the same time, we really like our location, where we're at. Old houses are better because they have better bones, just remodel. Yeah. I would. If you love it, a good location. When I Yeah. When I buy I have I don't I always tell my fiancee, location, location, location. It matters the most. I'll be able to go to restaurants, the, you know, events I wanna go to. I don't want to go out and then drive another forty five minutes once I'm done going out. Or whether, you know, business, personal, you know, go door. I want everything next to me personally. Yeah. No. I I same thing. And it's just, like, interesting because we're we're pretty much, like, minutes from, you know, like No. We used to live in Lavene, like, in 30 Fifth Avenue in Baseline around there, and it just would take forever. I'm an East Valley kid. I hate the hillside. I know. Me too. We're we're trying to get more to the East Valley, but right now, we're, like, right off of, like, 30 Second Street in Baseline. Oh, no. And not, like, almost more east, but not central. Yeah. And the thing because we like, we've almost now, like, ten years. Like, this there's no complaints. It probably has a nice lot too. Yeah. It's not bad. You know? It's like but when we look at other where we wanna move to, we're like, oh, man. Prices have just skyrocketed. And it's like, man. Do we really wanna, like, drop this coin on this house where, you know, might have to get smaller or what, you know. Just like, is it worth it? We we owe, like, so little on our house when it's like, we've got tons of equity and we just, like, renovate, like, just internal things that we're trying to, like, route. Um, I would definitely remodel. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. If you as long as you like the location, then make it yours. Turn it into what you want. And if you're wanting additions and within being in Phoenix, I can probably imagine where you're at. You probably have room to do an addition to because your your lot size is pretty hefty. Oh, yeah. Yeah. We like, I've looked at it. Like, I I'm a like, I'm all, like, planning out, you know, and, like, already know what I want. Wife's like, okay. Hold your she's like, okay. This has cost some cash. You're like, I'm just thinking, you know? Like, it's yeah. We'll talk more. Do another one to one thing together. But like I said, we do free estimates, consultations, and that's with product selections rendering, and then you have an idea, hey. This is something I can do. Or, hey. I need to save. Like, I tell homeowners, like, when we give an estimate, it's good only for days, but the likely of it coming, you know, changing significantly is only due to product selection. And my labor is my labor, unless, you know, we get some minimum wage, get an hour an hour or something crazy. And then obviously, I gotta change my pricing because in order for me to pay my guys, I gotta also make, you know, as a business. So Yeah. Uh, when we when we look at, you know, everything as far as risk and moves that you know, there's a lot of times we, like, hit a wall brick wall. Like, what was the, uh, uh, you know, the most moment where, you know, oh, man. Shouldn't have done that or, you know, like, impact that it had, like, yourself and the way you see your path going. Was there just, like, this low point where you're just like, oh, man. I've kinda done that. Probably leaving to Ohio. I think, um, me leaving to Ohio, the larger second location was one a dream of mine and my ex business partners but I also think, um, that forced him to leave in a sense because when I left and it was fine and then three months later he was gone. Yeah. That was that was probably my lowest point because unfortunately younger cousin, um, but it was hard to, uh, swallow that and deal with, um, deal with that and come across come across and come back home. Luckily, I was able able to get back and save and, you know, continue growing and do what we had to do. It was probably the lowest point of my life. You know, hard times, they usually, like, come with those lessons learned type thing. What would you know what did those experiences do? You know, either a process or or even, like, about It taught me no matter what. And I love my fiancee to death, but I used to say, you know, she's like, well, if I die, I'm like, well, if I die, I'm I'm gone. I I I need you. I need you. And she's like, you don't mind. And I didn't realize that until December of last year. Because I can say losing a business partner is worse than any other breakup I've ever gone through because I just feel like when you're tugging it out together and you're trying to build something, there's that energy, that passion whether he lost it or not, whether whatever happened, but it was the hardest thing. But it also taught me one, no one ever takes care of you like you, but also I can get punched in the mouth over and over and over again. I don't care who it is. I don't care what happens. It could be the biggest of the big. It could be the smallest of small. I'm gonna get back up, wipe the blood off, wipe the tears down, blow my nose and one foot from the other and continue because I can tell you and everybody, anybody that listens or anybody that knows me, I ain't got this logo and these colors will be everywhere. May not be this year, may not be next year, It may be three months from now. I don't know. But it they will be for one day one day, one year. Be in another state. Then another state. And then, oh, who's the new guy? And we're here to make noise. We're here to take over. I think my guys are the best. We have the best looking trucks. We have the best looking logos. Not arrogant, just confident. Yeah. Nice. How are you on time? Do you I'm good. Good. Yeah. Cool. We I have you you tell noon. Sweet. Well, it will take that long. Yeah. But I did that because I didn't know. Okay. No. That helped because of the technical. Yeah. I think Um, so there's there's always, like, this turning point when we about these type of things. What was breakthrough moment when things just finally clicked? I think when they finally clicked is when we landed our first job after marketing. It was like, oh, yeah. We can do this. It was like, we marketed for two, three weeks and one job, one one job, and then like our floods, like, oh, we had four floods a week. Two guys, we were busy, you know, real long or for a while, but it clicked. You put in effort and you do the same thing over and over and over again without any result, you start to think, am I going insane? Is it insanity? Am I doing this one over and over again and expecting a different result? But as soon as it hits, it's like, oh, we're here. We're making this happen. And then six months, you know, we're hiring our first guy. Three months, we're hiring and then a year in, we have nine guys and then we have an office and then we open a new location and then three months later, the location shuts down. I come back, had to let go of my guys. I'll leave my business partner. So if I what we were calling it, we were calling it the building construction manager and mitigation manager, Nelson and Alex. They're like, this is the rebirth. This is the rebirth. Um, so but that moment is when was we fart, you know, landed our first job. What kept you going during times? I mean, a lot of times there's there's things blindside you, you know, like, what was your source of, like, just Probably Amanda and Walker, my fiance, is what I kept going for. When everything happened in December, I would be lying if I didn't tell you that I closing down and just doing something else crossed my mind because I did many days. And there's many days I sat in the truck crying. There's many days I sat in the shower frustrated. There's many days I was on the job site by myself for twelve hours trying to get things done. But it it was them because whether I was leaving at 7AM, five am, getting home at 10AM, because restoration, you know, we work a lot, you know, especially as an owner. So we're in the field, office, and then twelve to fifteen hour days is very common for me and my crew. But they're the reason I would say is because if I give up, what does that say about me to them? And if if I didn't have Amanda and I tell Alex, my mitigation manager, one of my best friends all the time, if I didn't have her, I would not be where I am at today. And I wholeheartedly know without a doubt that I would not be here without her because she saw something in me years ago that I did not see myself and she told me for years, do your own thing, Wyatt. Do your own thing. Do your own thing. And I never wanted to leave my dad's and she's like, do your own thing. And then finally, it was like, okay, I'm gonna do my own thing. And then she run the office now and, you know, we get to work together and run a business, a beautiful baby boy together. And we both been golfing a lot, So we get to do that a lot, which also feeds in the business because Yeah. Everybody golfs. So we do a lot together. I mean, I take my son everywhere. Usually, he'll ride around at least once a week, go to job sites or marketing, but it would be them %. Without them, yeah. I yeah. Yeah. That's cool. That's, uh, that's your kind of They are % why. And team two, but those those two, I mean, Amanda and Walker, yeah, the best ever happened to me. Yeah. The time I met Amanda, being a punk little run around, not being the best person to meeting her and, you know, seeing something in me, you know. It's, uh, eleven years was it was amazing to go to propose her and ask her to say, hey. Will you marry me and take my last name? Because it's something we've always talked about. And, obviously, with the business and putting that first, it definitely delayed. But we're, you know, now we're preparing to finally get married next year. Okay. Very cool. Where where are you guys getting married at? Looked at a couple of venues. We've looked at one up in Flag, we really like. Then we looked at one out in, like, Gold Canyon, AJ that we really like. And then we have a tour Friday or actually one tonight in Glendale. One Friday and then two more Saturday, and then we're gonna pick. Okay. But if we pick up north, we're gonna be doing if we pick down here in the valley, we're gonna be doing March of twenty six. Okay. Yeah. March was, uh, it was a date that my wife had originally. And then for some odd reason, I suggested January 1, and she agreed. So our wedding was on January 1. I don't know what Happy New Year. Yeah. Yeah. Well, because we had met on New Year's Eve. Oh, nice. We basically talking all night, and it was kind of like, oh, okay. Now January 1. And it was just one of those things where, like, yeah. I was just you know, I was 22, 20 three. Like, let's have it on January 1. And, basically, like, people we invited actually up to our wedding because Oh, no. It was, you know, people that were like, yeah, I'll pass, you know. But, yeah, you you never forget that's for sure. Nope. Um, I never had that issue. It's, uh, always January 1. Everyone kinda knows. It's kinda quirky, you know. Yeah. It's cool. I've never met anybody that was married first. Yeah. Yeah. One week years, it's just, like, very easy because it's like, oh, January 1. Start new year. That's crazy. Um, cool. Well, so 11, uh Yep. And then It was just eleven years March March twenty ninth. Nice. Nice. Cool. Well, congratulations. Thank you. I'm super excited. Yeah. That's cool. And and she's in business with you. Right? Yes. Yeah. She runs yeah. She's our manager. That's yeah. My, uh, my wife, if she would run a business, that would be and that would, like, alleviate because she has a brain for that sort of thing. Exactly. I thought I had have, you know, OCD and stuff. I'm super organized. Yeah. You know, trucks, trailers Yeah. Office. It's gotta be perfect. But she's she's more organized than I am. So very good. Like, she runs our calendar, all of our scheduling, all that stuff for us. That's cool that you're that you're able to do that because there are there are some people that just would not be able to work with with their spouse, you know, which is kinda sad. It's kinda tough. Yeah. You know, you have My parents. My parents too. Um, you know, not together anymore after that. You know? Um, but it's kind of, like, found that out for a lot of people because it happened. You know, everyone was locked in there forever. And we saw it. There was, like, couples that just got divorced, some that got stronger. And, you know, you're in the house working now twenty four seven. It was funny because I think that was probably me and my wife got the you know, like, solid strengthened your relationship. And I Agreed. I feel they might actually. Yeah. Yeah. You know? Or not so much. You know? Yeah. You know? It's kind of like, dang. You don't you don't see that. You know? That that's a great they're divorced. Like, that's that's Happen all the time, unfortunately. Yeah. Yeah. But, um, that's man. I'm I'm here. Thank you. You know, bold moves, they they often kind of reshape how we define, like, what winning means. So through all, really, how has your changed because of, like, journey that you've that you've gone on? I know success has changed because being young and dumb, I think big houses, nice exotic cars, watches, make you successful. And to a certain degree, they do, I guess, if you ask. But also, I I think you can value it as, you know, I'm successful because I have a healthy I can take care of. I have a team that is job and shows up every day with a good attitude. I have, um, you know, a beautiful house and then an office. You know, it can be all those things or simply as I get to wake up and do it every day. I mean, for me, it's all those things. I get you know, I wake up every day and it's like, damn, I work. Like, I'm building a dream or a foundation for other people's dreams. And I have a lot of guys work with me now that have dreams. They're like, oh, I wanna wanna be my own contractor and all this stuff. I'm like, great. Like, I'll build you up no matter what. You're here for a year, five years, ten years. Obviously, I build you up at one year long term. But like I said before, everything comes through. You can never be mad at anybody for bettering themselves no matter what. As long as you leave in the right way and go about it the right way. That's the only thing I gotta say about that. Yeah. No. That makes sense. If you could sit down with a version of yourself, like, from the past, you know, and right before you were about to, like, take a leap, take a jump, you know, what would you see yourself, that past version of yourself? That's a good question. I'd probably say take breath. Don't stop believing in yourself because it's gonna work out. Because a lot of times I have to take a deep breath and just realize, like, I may not be where I wanna be, but I'm a lot farther than where I thought I or a lot of people thought I could have been. But also with that, I also don't know, like, you know, me younger, I would like I also might have told myself, stop crying. Get over it or, you know, something like when I was younger and I learned, you know, I did set even hard in the program a couple times and, you know, got in the gym for, like, straight, lost a bunch of weight, got super healthy. And going, you know, he always says, you know, the the bitch voice in your head is what controls you. So, like, when you are getting upset, you gotta block that out and just hype yourself up. Like, I'm I'm having bad days because we all do marketing and I don't wanna see people or or I'm going to a job site that's a difficult job. I'm in the truck listening to music or in silence and I'm hyping myself, oh, we're the, you know, we're the baddest company, we're the best looking team, we're, you know, we have the best looking truck, we're, you know, whatever, you know, whatever, and hype myself up because, you know, some days it's just, you know, as as best as you're gonna now I don't have, but, you know, five, six months ago when all that happened, definitely was the case of like, is this even or because, you know, and that's why I would tell myself, my younger self, like, take a deep breath. You know, work out. Just don't stop believing because once you stop believing, the fire will die. That weird seeing yourself in the You made me think that, and I, like, got chills a little because, like, wow. Like, I've been seeing, like, TikTok. There's, like, oh, I met myself off of the other day. It's like, damn. Like, what? Like, what would I really, like, wanna say, like, to my 17 self, 18 year, or even, like, my year old self or 25 year old self when I started the company? Yeah. And what what would you say in simply, you know, I think across the board is just take it all be okay and don't suffer for anybody. Yeah. It all will work out. Everything else for a reason. There's there's so much change and growth that that happens when, like, you're in your twenties to, like, forties or, you know, however whatever age. I think 20 once you hit 25, I feel like that is a huge you embrace it Yeah. Personally. Yeah. No. I I can see that. Yeah. When I was in early twenties woah, man. I I I wish I could say, dude, don't do or shut up. Yeah. You know? Like, we're we need to do this, you know? Like Yeah. Don't go out partying. Go do something. Luckily, I did both, but because it worked a lot for my father back in Yeah. Seven days a week when mom's season rolls around, it's a hundred hour week sometimes. Dude, I I remember this was no. How long? This was, like, 02/2007, '2 thousand '8. And I was working for this company. And I remember this buddy of mine in the office. He's like, hey. I'm gonna be starting this company. You know, I I need some website help. Do you wanna, like, work with me and help me with this website? And often my own thing doing something else. Like, no, man. I'm good. And, you know, like, I I got something else I need to do. And and I I basically, like, turned turned him down and, like, was of of potential, like, hey, you know, like worked and I wasn't really sad. And I kept following this social media stuff and I would see his posts, you know, like, oh, I need a website. I need that. He started, you know, building stuff and then it just going and evolving. And today is the foremost expert can think of on gym owners, on building their business and marketing. And he's got like this massive company and and does very well. And he's a he's a smart guy. He's invested so much into, like, in self development. All these gurus, like, I he interviews with, like, Grant Cardone. Um, like, I think Billy Marketing is one. Like, there's a lot of people Are you talking about Tramozi? He's hurt no. I'm not talking about him. Yeah. I know. I know. Uh, but I he's I'm I'm pretty sure he studied him too. Wow. Um, but yeah. His and his company is just charts. Like, if you're opening up a gym, you're like, you're into this guy. And it's just because I I looked at him, like, man, what would have happened if I just would have been, like, hey. Yeah. Let's let's partner up, dude. Like, let's let's start working, you know. Yep. And it's, like, well, you know, everything have its reason. Yep. You know, like, good for you. You know what I mean? Like, I'm I'm truly happy because I this guy, like, back before he even He has worked in office for somebody else. Yeah. And now he's like like he's posting conferences, these kinds of cool stuff and I'm like, yeah, man. That's what you know what I mean? Being able to, like, just have go from really and and then all of a sudden, boom. Like, you just keep grinding and grow yourself and your and your company and your brand and and here you, like, you're you're doing stuff, you know. And Yep. Making a difference because I know he is changing people's lives because these gym you know, they, like, deciding whether or not to shut their doors. And then here they are talking to this, like, his method, his model of what he's doing. And then, bam, now they've got leads and now they've got all this stuff. And I'm like, dude, that's cool. Alright. Sorry. I I digress dope though. That's super cool. I digress a little bit. Um, but, um, yeah. It makes me think about that when you talk about past stuff because you're like, man, like, that's crazy. Cool. I got a question. Uh, every you know, like, when we talk about bold moves, you know, there's moves that we haven't made yet. So for you say is, like, your next, maybe you're still a little hesitant to take. And if you are, like, what's holding back? I think, um, my next born move, I can't say much. But we'll be launching a second location soon. It's it's already in the I was I've already traveled there. I've seen the place. I've already, you know, found found a place to live. Um, prepared for that bold move because I've already done this one failed. I know what not to do. And I also know when I leave, it can't be only me. I have to build a team out there quickly. So I don't have what happened happened last time in the sense of losing in losing anybody or anything being ran the wrong way. So now what we're now is preparing for that training, certifications. We implemented all of our SOPs when we first opened, but, obviously, we've been hiring and growing. So all of our new people, we have we have mandatory Monday meetings every Monday. We have Friday tailgate meetings, and we inspect all the truck and trailers every week now. Me and my managers have weekly, maybe sometimes daily meetings at the end of the day for about thirty minutes to an hour. So preparing, making sure not only is, hey, is Wyatt ready to go and do this again because I am I you know, marketing is what I do. I can talk to anybody. I can sell I see an Eskimo. And I'm like, everybody I, you know, I'll be friends with everybody. I wanna help everybody. So when I leave and do that, I gotta make sure Arizona's okay. But that is already in the works as some people know of BNI. We have, um, small, you know, other news that we'll be announcing soon as well with total of classic. Nice. Yeah. That's probably the whole move we have. And then from there, would be just, like, really taking over what we're in. That's cool. Nice, man. Do you know where that location is going to be? Is that hush-hush right now? I'll say it's somewhere in California. Oh, okay. Yes. And then we're already certified and licensed and everything. They're ready to go. So, yeah, it's just pretty much, you know, all the fine details and everything in line. But, yeah, it will be in California on the coast. So we'll be specializing in insurance restoration, water, fire, mold, asbestos, custom remodels. We're gonna be pushing a lot of, like, um, designer stuff because I met a couple realtors and designers last month when I was in California for my just by nature, I was walking and someone sold my truck and shirt and they're like, hey, do you work? I'm like, well, no. I'm in Arizona but so I already made a bunch of connections that are waiting for us to but, yeah, we'll be in California probably by the end of this year as well. Dude, talk about, like, timing because, obviously, fires, like, people need their houses built. Like Oh, yeah. Out there. Yeah. Dude. Okay. See, a good pool. Yeah. I'm excited. Okay. Alright. Just quick questions here. Alright? What's your favorite book, podcast, resource that inspires you to be bold? I'll start with my favorite book. Um, I've read this one three times. It's The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck by Marc Mahan, man. Love that book. Um, I have a bunch of others but that's my favorite. Favorite podcast is Real AF with Andy Versala and DJ Johnson. Like, when you asked me to be on this, like, oh my god, like, this is something I've always wanted to do because I have my own idea and you me has now my gears turned of like, okay, now I need to start doing mine. But, um, and then also Alex Remozie, a hundred million dollar leads, a hundred million dollar offers, and then also his podcast every day is what I listen to is either Andy or Alex are my two favorite guys. And then social media, there's a couple people I follow that are, like, more influencers, but there are, like, more bodybuilders like Tbum, the high time Olympian. He's the owner of Raw Nutrition. I'm actually a sponsor of Raw Athlete, so I build their videos and enjoy. Like, I look up to those guys because they're some savages. Yeah. Alex Hermosi is is awesome. I love his stuff. Him. Yeah. Yeah. Dude, man, I learned so much just from Just from looking into him. Yeah. That's awesome. What's the best piece of advice that you've ever received? Uh, the best piece of advice I've have ever would be actually from somebody I don't know. It's from a book, Alex Jermose's book. He always says win slow, don't go too fast. Because if you go too fast you're more likely to fall on your face which is not a bad thing. But if you win slow, you learn slower and you don't make as many mistakes. That's like one of my and also my old kung fu teacher when I was in seventh grade and eighth grade, Mr. Smith, I think he passed away from what I heard years ago on social media. He used to say today is the day and the time is now. And I was a seventh grader at that time and here I am 28 years old and I literally read remember that and I say it all the time. It's in one of my quotes on Instagram. But literally, today is the day and the time is now. Don't worry about yesterday. Don't worry about tomorrow. You know, they call it the present for a reason And that's something I live by or try to live by as much as I can because we always worry about the future and I'm trying to like, you know, you ask my next bold move. There's anxiety about doing that. So I don't try to it's gonna happen. I I focus on the day. What's our task at hand? What's our objectives for the day, what's the week. If you win the day, you'll win the week. If you win the week, you win the month. If you win the month, you win the year. And that's, trust me I'm not perfect, but that's everything I try to whip myself into shape and stay on top of the train tracks is shit like that. Nice. In one word, how would you encourage someone to be bolder? Dream. Mhmm. I was at the mall a couple weeks and there's this gentleman that owns, um, clothing brand but it's a religious, it's called it's called Foundations, and every bag they buy when they sell something, they get a message. And my message on my bag received had said, don't give up on your dreams. And that was about a month ago, so it was still kind of a gray area of what everything was going on. And then on my bag, I just put don't stop believing in yourself and don't forget to chase your dreams. And I don't know how it happened, but somebody I knew had something from there and got that same bag that I wrote on. And they posted on Instagram. I'm like, I know that guy. And so my one of my workers, Nelson, he also knows the owner of the clothing brand too. And so I don't know if you're or not, but God has been my faith in the last couple years have been such a strong foundation and we pray every Monday meeting together and every time we eat lunch together which is very often about 80% of the time we say a prayer just saying thanks and, you know, giving us the, you know, time and energy to do what we do and help these people and, you know, everything like that. So Nice. I would say dream. Yeah. What, uh, what church do you go to? So I actually don't go right now. I've, uh, been wanting to find one. I do a couple with my buddies.
