Transcript

On today's episode of gathering the Kings. After 2 weeks of looking item by item, I walked away with the contract for 845,000 a quarter. And I completed the entire building gracefully with a lot of trips to quick trip. So it took me about 3 months, I cleared a $150,000 from that. And that's what I started up with it. That's when I realized, oh my god. I don't know anything about anything. I just now buy for the downer Wolfe for 2.

And I was able to do something in a breeze where they enjoy You are listening to Gathering the Kings with Chaz Wolfe featuring fellow 78 and even 9 figure business owners who have real battle scars.

Through this dialogue, you will learn the value of growing your network and surrounding yourself with power players and keys like today's guest. Grab your pen and notebook because we're about to dive in. What's up, everybody? I'm Chaz Wolfe today, gathering the king's podcast. I've got Daniel Chiscat here on the king stage.

My brother, how are you? Good. How are you? I'm well. And I'm just really looking forward to this episode. I look forward to most of ours, all of ours. But every now and then, I get a guy like you that says, you know which Chaz, how can I help? How can I serve? I'm just here to serve today. And so I just so appreciate that perspective that you already started with, and we haven't even gotten into it yet. So tell the listeners what kind of business that you have, my brother?

I'm a provider of skilled labor. To the commercial construction industry. In this country, you have a German contractor that calls a specialty contractor to do certain work. And those guys, when their own crews are too busy, they call me and they say, hey. We have this project Chaz you handle it for us? And I do commercial roofing, concrete, and metal building assemblies. Wow. Love it.

And so in a industry where labor probably more than ever has been short, and people are stressed out trying to get jobs completed. They just call you. You take care. You're a superhero. You take care of everything. Yeah. It's a valuable asset. Absolutely. I love that. Okay. So I wanna know before we get into your history and a little bit of your story, why do you build? What? I mean, obviously, this types of projects that you're working on are very large. A lot of money involved.

You could, in, in essence, sail away. I'm sure. But you haven't yet. You're still building the business. You're still helping general contractors all over the country. Why? First, I love what I do. It's I know that even if I've done, let's say, 10 Walmarts in a year, they are all a different story, different crew, different weather, different state. So my business covers the entire United States, and I deploy my crews, whatever. Like, right now, I'm speaking out of a hotel in Iowa.

Wow. And we're removing a mega factory here. And what keeps me going, I have certain goals that I like to achieve. But besides the goal is the experience, the quality of life, the journey. And this is fun. It's you can never get bored because every single project, every single day is completely different. I love the, obviously, enjoyment factor. I think a lot of entrepreneurs go back and forth on today. I love it tomorrow. I don't.

How have you been able to find that that piece really is what I'm hearing you say. You got just this poised almost about you just because you love what you do. You you're really enjoying it. How have you found that? I started thinking about what are things that I don't like doing first. Because the business has a lot of components to it. You have the sale. You have administration. You have a project estimating project management. And I eliminated those parts.

And in the work that I do, the fact that every day is different just makes me very happy. But at one point, because there is a lot of risk involved Chaz we deploy a lot of people along with the country, and we have to be there in time. There are people that end on us. Right. I had to learn to trust people, and that was the hardest part. I had to learn to delegate to just completely accept the fact that a lot of things are not under my control.

Yeah. And I cannot spend the night without sleeping worrying that the crew is gonna show up or not. Did everything okay, but actually have to trust people? Yeah. Yeah. We're gonna get into that because you're a 100% right. You can't really run any business at scale without trusting people. We can definitely get into that. Let's talk about just your journey a little bit. I wanna know how you got started. Have you always been an entrepreneur? Did this was this your first business?

Could you give us your background I actually am one of those guys that never had a job. I know of those type. I never intended that. It's a child I've always bought and sold my voice traded. I come from a family where my grandparents used to sell vegetables in the marketplace. And as a child, he used to take me and let me do the sale, exchange money, use the scale, the whole nine yards.

And Yeah. But I think after college, I realized when my entire world was looking for, okay, where I'm gonna get hired, I realized that I'm afraid of getting the job. I'm afraid of getting employed and going Monday to Friday to a place that for no reason I can be told on Friday, don't come back on Monday. And that concept was far scarier for me than actually having a business. Now it wasn't always a formal business.

Most of my journey was selling pizza coupons door to door, selling cell phones, and always was always independent. I always had my free schedule, my free market, And it was later when I actually formalized things into a business Chaz I learn more things. But, yes, I'm one of the few that actually never had a job. I think there's a lot of listeners, a lot of entrepreneurs, Ken, that can relate to that. It's not always just about getting history or getting experience and then going out.

It's I just never got started in the corporate world, which I can appreciate. You've just always done your own thing. I love what you said about your grandparents. I have some kiddos now that are probably about that age. And so whether it's things from the garden or eggs from the chickens or just helping me with certain things and some of my businesses, they're a little young for Chaz. But I look forward to those moments where they have the recognition that you just described of, oh, man.

I get to exchange money or do the sale or whatever. That's good hope for a young father. Me. Absolutely. Okay. Tell me tell me, like, a little bit more about this business. How did you get involved here where you're doing major projects, helping general contractors all across the country. What was the transition from selling produce for your grandparents to pizza coupons to running a GC business. As an immigrant, I have a lot of friends that are in the construction business.

Sure. I was born in Romania and a lot of our people follow other people from our country in the same trade. A lot of my Romanian guys do stock office hardwood flooring. And after college, I was asked by them to help them out with sales with estimating. And I learned a little bit about them, but I didn't really understand what I was not really attracted by the business. So And frankly, I was a little bit bored. And I started a company that did coding my SQL.

I was building websites but a little bit more than the just the sign, like, structure stop. Sure. But, again, I acted as the guy who knows a guy. I sold it here, and I got coders from Romania, from Russia, from other places to do the work. Until one day, I was in my office, and this gentleman walked in thinking that I'm the accounting office next door.

And having a curious mind and having just learned a little bit of Spanish at the time, actually, make conversation since he wasn't speaking English very much. I started being curious and talked to him. And 50 minutes of conversation, I learned that 3 years of school, and I'm not talking college. 3 years of school. Not any formal training. It's still the previous year. He did $1,300,000 worth of shingles or roofing. And there was the moment. I was like, okay.

The stage of my life, what I do things to be intellectually satisfied are gone, now I need to make some money. So I called on my clients and I let them know I don't take any new jobs for coding, for web development. And I started making a lot of websites atlanta gutters, Atlanta roofing to see what comes out of it. And, within three months, I got my first mega job, which was really small in perspective now, but it was to change carpet in an office.

Okay. And I literally told the guy that I can do it. I before I went to the office, I went to Quick trick to see guys, they have the carpet sticking out to ask them how do you price this who can do this for me. What? They told me where to get my carpet, the whole seller, Yeah. When I got some samples, went to the client. While I was there, he was telling me that he has to communicate with the movers because they Chaz to move all the stuff in the warehouse.

So we can replace the carpet and remove some cubicles. And I made a sale, then I go back to quick trip. Try to find guys that are actually gonna do the installation. And while I was there, I saw a truck that said office movers. So tapping this window, hey. Can you help me out with this cubicles with these movers? And Chaz they were like, oh, yeah. Totally. And I call my client back and say, hey. Can I do this? Yeah. Chaz I do both? So it makes it easier for you. And the client says, sure.

Absolutely not. And Chaz was my first experience with commercial Wow. Commercial work. And a little bit down the road, this was the 6th month. I got a call about a project that required breakpointing. K. And I took the gentleman's information contact. I exchanged emails so he can send me the information for pricing. Then I hang up and add to Google to see what the breakpointing was. I really had no idea, but I said, yes. I can do it. So same thing.

Back to quick I had to call a bunch of masons to find out somebody that would do it or price it for me because everybody was doing new construction during the 2005, 2006, new construction, and nobody wanted to do it. I had to talk to 30 masons to find 3 that were interested. I get the job. The appointment. I go to meet to see the project.

And the gentleman representing a restoration company that was handling the project was telling me Chaz building was a meatpacking factory turning to condominiums. The roof caught on fire because somebody smoked on a roof. And when the fire department put out the fire, they saw water coming through the bricks. And that's when they realized that they need to reseal the building. And in the process, replace the roof, change windows, the whole 9ER.

So I shamelessly asked the gentleman that called me there. It's like, well, Since, are you really busy? And he said, yeah, I'm busy. Since I'm gonna be here for the next few months, would you like me to handle the whole building, the roof, and windows and concrete, whatever was there. And he said, yeah. Can you handle it? And I was very honest with you, Matt. I was like, I know I can handle it. Likely, I Wolfe need to ask for some help as I go and some I'll have some questions for you.

But at the end of the of the 2 weeks of looking item by item, I walked away with a contract for $845,000 worth of work. And I completed the entire building gracefully with a lot of trips to quick trip. When you're talking about 3 months, I cleared a $150,000 on Chaz. And that's what I fell in love with it. That's when I realized, oh my god. I don't know anything about anything. I just know buy for the dollar Wolfe for tool. And I was able to do something. I really, really enjoyed it.

And that was my decision to get into commercial construction. And from there, jumping to commercial roofing, who was the fact that the economy changed, the whole market collapsed, and I realized that I don't want to have a lot of money in materials on a roof where the company may go bankrupt. So I chose to be just a labor guy. Yeah. And I started diving for dollars, calling all the roofing companies throughout the country, and just telling them, hey.

I have cruise whenever you guys are not available, whenever you're booked, whenever you get a job, it's too far from you. Send me the scope of work, get the materials there, and I'll do it for you. And I've been doing it for 15 years. Wow. I am so inspired right now. As you can imagine, I have some really cool guests on this show, but I've never said this. Like, I we're only, like, I don't know, 12 minutes into this or something.

And I'm just, like, If you haven't heard what you needed today as the listener in all seriousness, don't know what you're looking for. I literally don't know what you're looking for. Because, at my humble level of having done 1,000,000 of dollars in business, I now having heard this small little piece of Daniel's story, I'm ready to go run through the wall in all seriousness because what I heard you say, and I'll give you a chance to add on to this.

What I heard you say is that you took a chance. And I love what you said. I didn't know anything, but what I did know was buy for a dollar, sell for 2. Like, it it is that simple. Business can be that simple. Obviously, there was, like you said, a lot of trips to quick trip. You asking help from some people. You had to network. There was a lot of nuggets that you dropped in there that just happened for you, but that you were proactively doing in the moment.

And I'm sure you still do those things today, but I'm just picking out a few of these things here for the listener. And then the last piece is really just the fact that you even said it at the end. You said, I shamelessly asked for the whole building. And it's like, how many times as entrepreneurs Do we just not ask?

Do we either we don't have the confidence or maybe we do have the confidence, but we're a little nervous about whether they what they're gonna think about us maybe I'm thinking, oh, I don't know how to do windows. I don't even really know how to do the masonry work, but I got them here. At least I'll just stick with that, but you just went for it. And I'm I don't know if I have ever been. So just, like, at a place where I'm like, okay. I gotta go tell everybody about something.

Dan, you fired me up, man. I wanna give you a chance. Would you add anything to that? I tried to give a little bit of a synopsis on some points there for the listener, but would you add anything to the takeaway? Like, what what should the listener be paying attention to from that little story. Don't be afraid to try because fear is paralyzing. And fear is a dream killer. And at the end of the day, everybody needs somebody to help them through things.

I mean, the Tesla guy didn't build all his empire by himself. Yeah. He connected the dots, but at the end of the day, the most people can tell you is no. Yeah. And does Chaz? And That's that. That's Chaz much as lack of fear has been my biggest success. Fear also has been my biggest failure because there are so many more dreams that I have that 4 years, and I know there's such a pain point in the market for what I have the solution for.

Yeah. But for some reason, Chaz fear is still the bow is still the battle even today. Hey, Kings and Queens. Chaz Wolf. I wanna talk to you about something that's super important to me. We put a lot of time and effort. We, meaning myself and my team, into this podcast, into the content that goes out every single day. And if you have been getting any sort of value or insight from this, we want it to be able to reach other business owners too.

So we would love If you would like, comment, share, leave a review, post, share again, all of the things on social media, on all the different platforms, or even on the podcast mediums of Apple and Spotify. We would love to be able to get our content into more hands, more entrepreneurs so they can grow their business as quick as Together, we are building a community of like minded entrepreneurs who are committed to growing their businesses to new heights. So let's do this. Let's help each other.

Let's help each other grow. Oh, I you just sent me on a whole upside down roller coaster by saying this because, literally, your first story has had I'm a pretty confident end of And let's say, dance the line between confidence and arrogance. Okay? And but to hear your story, literally, I'm not even joking. I am so inspired in so built in my own confidence of going, wow. I need to be just shameless about what I'm doing.

And then free to end with saying that fear still grips you, You're gonna have to tell us more. Be but I want the listener saying all this to keen their ear. They're obviously listening already. Hopefully, I've made a big enough deal about this. But I want you to speak to the point of fear. What have you missed out on do you think, or tell me a story specifically where fear held you back? Because you just I don't even know if I'm gonna believe you. Sometimes knowing too much.

It's actually gets you to overthinking, and the fear paralyzes you. And my biggest loss is missed opportunities because some of the opportunities are tied the market changes, the staging life changes, the economy changes, and fear is still today I have projects on my board right now that finally just thinking about the conversation Chaz I'm gonna have with you as you did send me some questions that you might touch through this interview.

It got me thinking that, okay, I'm sitting on 20 prime domain names right now that I have ideas for. And some of them covered the entire industry, but because I'm thinking about all the potential that has to go with it, I'm not doing anything. So now I'm starting to write the playbook for each one. And literally finding people to get them to a business developer. Okay. Here's the money. Make this happen. Yeah. Wow. Hope the listener's paying really close attention. They have their notepad out.

I say that sometimes, but, I couldn't be more serious right now. What you just said is the fact that basically you're you're just as inspired by the things that other entrepreneurs do. Or in this case, just the simple questions that I asked you about your journey, then have compelled you to reach for yourself at another level. Right? Because there's another version of Daniel that you're after.

And for you to be able to go reach for that, Daniel, even though you've already accomplished so much, and to be vulnerable about it right here, I hope that the listener is taking this home because we deal with it every single day, entrepreneurs. Right? We deal with the should I ask, do I have fear? Do I jump? Do I make the decision? Do I not love what you said there in there about knowing too much sometimes? It keeps us from processing good decisions. So many good things already.

I think if you pause this thing and went back and listened to everything that Daniel said for the last couple of minutes, ten times, I don't think that you'd be disappointed. For the sake of the interview, though, let's continue because I wanna know some good and bad decisions that you've made. You've talked about fear a little bit.

Being a differentiator on the good and bad, but I wanna know, like, a specific decision that you made maybe early on, maybe in some of those 1st couple of years where it was this good decision that you can share with us has led to a good amount of your success. What is that? Choosing to be consistent in reading.

It sounds maybe broad, but it's very easy to be in a fast lane and doing your business, doing over and over the same thing, and forget that maybe some things take you in the wrong direction. Yeah. And the reading has been the biggest form of education for me and the biggest form of keeping myself mentally in shape. Also, being very intentional about who I let around me. The power of proximity is amazing. There is no way you let somebody close to you without being affected.

Actually, neurologists, scientists who were able to connect the fact to discover they discover the fact that if you sit in a coffee house next to a person, you don't know you don't talk to yet they're your brain synchronize. Right. So I'm a lot more intentional about quiet around me, and I see people that are smarter grounded that I can speak with a lot of Yeah. That's huge. Okay. How has that played out for you practically. Do you have folks that you can just pick up the phone and call?

Do you keep a close circle? Do you have a friend that that you guys meet on a regular basis? Like, what does that circle look like for you, like, actually. I keep active in certain circles where I know there are people that have experiences and I approach them 1 by 1 and invite them for Wolfe. And I ask questions that you would ask, but one on 1, Yeah. What does your success come from? And it's not even about what they do, but it's about principles that they guide.

By. So there are people, different people, different journeys that I take a lot of things from, but it's never just one place. Yeah. Makes sense. I love that. What I'm picking up is that not only are you keeping maybe close tabs on who's around you, which I think is so important. But then you're with those people, you're open minded to change or open minded to growth. Am I hearing you right on that?

Yes. There are so many different industries and so many ways of doing the same thing that sometimes just because somebody doesn't give you an example to a story, it could be in front of your eyes and you're just not seeing it. It's all a better perspective. And often we understand that we see live through the experiences of what we've grown up, what we grew up with, or what we have done. So I get a lot from listening to strange people telling me their stories. Yeah. You're so right.

That's why podcasts like this exist. That's why it's why guys like you get to ask to be a guest. Okay. Let's flip the script, Daniel. Let's tell me about a bad decision that you've made, one that didn't go so well. I believe from every 5 good decisions, I did 95. They were bad. He's had a lot of failure on his journey and a lot of learning, but some bad decisions probably was that accepting the paralyzing fear in my life.

And, I don't know if it was a decision or a state of mind or lack of decision. Yeah. But in actually still, in actually still actually decide to stop for whatever reason. And another decision was that I believe that I was a missed opportunity, probably more than a bad decision, not going to law school. Even if I would have been even if I would have had a law degree, I would have still become being a business person with a law degree. I would have never been actually a Right.

A lawyer, but it would have put me in different circles. Yeah. For sure. And that would have played at a different level. Yeah. You would do do you reminisce on that sometimes that you would you'd be doing that sometimes, or are you considering where you ended up? I don't regret, but I'm very conscious on the importance of getting around people with a lot of money, playing a different level just because you see how they do things And sometimes they just give you opportunity.

Say, can you do this for me? And it doesn't matter whether you do a small project or something big for them. It's just a matter of zeros at the end, but the rest of it is the same. Yeah. So now I don't have any regrets about anything. I think regrets are a weight that anybody needs to discard, and I don't have that. So good. We don't talk a lot about regrets. A lot of our bad decisions, like you said, are learning points and a lot of guests believe Chaz.

Where did you come to the conclusion, though, about regrets? Like, what you just said about it being weight and Chaz it needs to be dis discarded. Is that a family learned thing? Is that a book that you read? Is that a mentor? Who where'd you get that from? Probably speaking with people. And at one point or another, I noticed there is a group of people that either complain about everything, and they find excuses for everything that they don't do. Right.

And that they regret the whole list of things, but it's similar to fear. It's paralyzing. It's living in the past, and it makes you even amplify your fear of making mistakes. If you keep feeding yourself talking about regrets and missed opportunities. So I don't know where it came from, but I have 0 regrets. I recognize my mistakes. Absolutely. Sure. And I got the whole book to write on just on the topic, but if you're not willing to make mistakes means you're choosing to be inactive.

And if you choose to be inactive, means you'll never take success. Yeah. Yeah. Chaz your path, right, like you either, are gonna have hard this way or hard this way. I think from entrepreneurs everywhere, at least making a decision, towards the action of achieving what we hope to achieve and the mistakes along the way, I think, are where we find the value as opposed to the inaction like you're talking about because it's still a decision.

Okay. Tell me about a process now, or maybe it's a discipline that you have around making decisions at this level of success that you've got. I run everything to the filter of my goals. I know what I want to be. It anything that deviates me from Chaz, it's out. It's as simple as that. And I'm lucky to have chosen to do something that I really And because the prospect of reaching to my goals are so amazing and even the journey of getting there, I don't need any motivation.

It never never and nothing can put me down. Yes. There Wolfe be some bump in the roads. There Wolfe be some setbacks, but it's similar to computer gaming, to gaming. You have points for each game, and you have your total points. Right. So I watch that my network keeps going up to the point where I can do things that I want to do. And Is the game of the network Chaz you're saying I wanna know. I'm naturally I think we're all waiting.

You said you run it through the filter of your goals, but then you said right after that, I know who I wanna be. Who is that? Who is it that Daniel wants to be? My wife and I are working to start a family. And if it turns out that little party pooper show up. I would like to actually be a father. I like to be at home. I like to experience the life. Also, I've been around plays for a long time. I've been skydiving I was in my twenties. And for some reason, another fear factor was fear of exams.

I never got my pilot license. So my wife and I have been discussing to actually go ahead and we just finished our medical tests, and we're doing it as a journey as a couple. And started starting the ground school. And but I was always afraid of exams because I never did my homework. I was never prepared. Right. So my memory of taking exam was never actually good. A little distorted. But now we're gonna work on that.

So I like to travel more I visited a lot of countries, and they've always been part of my my life. I don't think my life is gonna change that much as I grow older, I need to be to a place where my entire life study sustain from my investments, not from my work. Yeah. And often, we don't think about Chaz until we're older because I make a lot of money, but they call it cash flow because money keeps flowing. So the money got spend. I didn't invest.

I didn't start investing until much later in life. Yeah. And not I'm there, but I need to be to the point where I make a certain amount of money that a 100% comes from invest investment then. Yeah. That's what I wanna be. Yeah. I love that. And, of course, naturally, somewhere in there after you get your pilot's license and you have all these jobs across the country, you'll need a plane. Absolutely.

And that's a different lifestyle except even the smallest says now, I just talked to PDK to the airport here in Chandler, Georgia. Where I live and work. And just to park a small sales nights, $800 a month outside, of course. Yeah. But if you wanna have a family and you wanna get a passenger, even if it's an older place to a couple of $1,000,000. Yeah. But it's America and everything is possible. Right? It is.

Everything is is possible, and it's probably closer within your grasp than you realize. I remember 2 years ago. I have a close friend of mine that is a pilot and loves aviation, and we've talked real estate and business for for many years. And he's always talked about having a plane. His grandfather had a plane. He's had a plane.

And but you can get a you can get a small plane for six figures, but of the nicer ones that you're talking about, 2, 3, 4, 5,000,000, you obviously, they go up from there. But the reality of it is that it's probably closer than you realize if that's really what you want. Now I as heard him because we talked together all the time. He's actually now in the Gathering of King's Mastermind group, and we talk all the time about him and this plane. And it's it's so real to him. It's so real.

And so it's become real to me even though I'm not a plain guy. I'm not necessarily a guy that enjoyed a travel, but I've never I never grew up thinking that maybe one day I would have a plane, like, just so far from the reality of my thoughts. But knowing him, it's just so real to him that it's actually become real to me. We've actually even matter of fact, we've talked about in the mastermind group, all the guys going, hey. We need a plane. Let's buy one together.

And so maybe we'll let you in on that deal, and you can get a plane sooner than later. Sounds good. Let's do that. Alright, dude. So I wanna know where I'm gonna come at you in the speed round questions here. I wanna come at you in a little different angle. I wanna know if you took your business and you dwindled it down to one trackable metric. One thing that you could track forever and ever, what would that one thing be? Net profit. What I keep at the end before I pay Uncle Sam and god.

I love what I love the breakdown. Uncle Sam and god. That is fantastic. I now I'm now taking that from you. I will give you credit, though, every time I use it, Dan, you'll see, but I'm using that from now on. Why? Tell me why is that the trackable metric? Because numbers speak. It's the whole idea is to have a progress. And, of course, the progress comes in two ways for me every year. I've looked at both the net profit.

And, actually, another metric is how much of my money come from the investment versus from me being involved. Yeah. Exactly. I love it. Okay. What book since you're a heavy reader, maybe limit it to 1 or maybe a couple, but what book would you recommend for a 6 figure business the snowball effect. It's a book by or about the biography of Buffett Warren Buffett, and it just open mind, open my eyes to the importance of discipline investing. Yeah. Yeah. So good.

And so for a 6 figure business owner, someone, you know, much smaller in revenue than you, what is their takeaway? From that book, meaning, and be to be disciplined in investments now? Is it to be disciplined in investing in their business to scale it? What would you say would be their, like, what would you give to them out of that? One of them is, yes, being disciplined about investing and secondly investing in things that you don't manage.

Yeah. A lot of people, invest in real estate or invest in other businesses. And I choose to invest just in America, just by index funds, And, it's very easy to control. It's very easy to cash out, and you can borrow against, besides you never pay capital going unless you sell it. So you can actually keep it producing for a long time without having to be taxed. Yeah. Exactly. Love it. Okay. What do you think?

You talked a little bit about this, but what do you think about networking with other entrepreneurs or master mining with other entrepreneurs? It's critical to dedicate time to that. And, though I have not been going to a lot of events, I recognize the importance of it because that's where you stumble upon a people that you have connection with. And with people that are like minded, people that are seeking the same thing, and find people that are where you want to be.

Find people that are what you would like to become. Try to spend more time with these people and ask for advice. People that you admire. I love that. Alright. Last question here for you, Daniel. You've been incredible. If you lost it all, What would you do? As long as I have my health and my reputation is intact, give me a cell phone and a laptop, and I'll be right back on because I'm the guy who knows a guy, and people always have problems.

Often people ask me what should they do for a business and become a problem hunter. All I have to do is go out there, figure out what problems, people have that are willing to pay money for. Yep. And that's it. So I'll start it doesn't really matter what industry. I'm a business person in the roofing industry. But I'm not a roofer. Yeah. So I Wolfe start the same way. So I your perspective is so fresh.

And refreshing, actually, to me, being another guy who considers myself a business guy in the retail space or in the real estate space. Or in podcasting or whatever.

I really see myself, or when you remove the X's and the o's of roofing versus real estate or retail or whatever, Then the only thing that's left to talk about is high level ways that we think, the things that we do, the people that were around, Chaz we invest in, like, all of the picture conversations, which I think a lot of people like to talk about, but they just don't always have the opportunity to with other high quality individuals. Daniel, how can the listener connect with you?

Cause if you're the guy that knows a guy, if you're the guy that takes on project, when a GC can't. How can they find you? How can they find you when they need you? LinkedIn. That's the only place on a social network that I appear. K. LinkedIn, you can find him there. You wanna drop your website or anything for the show notes? We can put it in the show notes. Sure. It's skilled crew.com, and the link they just searched for my name.

There are not too many people in my last name, so it's easy to find me. Yeah. Exactly. We'll put them both in the show notes so people can connect with you and find you.
