Wolfe, our doors got shut. The FBI came and raided us.

We welcome high performing entrepreneurs to the stage in order to reveal the reel of the reel. On what it takes to build a successful business today. And how you too can get there.

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. Alright. Everybody. I'm Chaz Wolfe, gathering the Kings back with you this week. I'm gonna give you a a queen at the Kings table this week. Ty Ottoson, Thank you for coming to the king's table. How are you, Ty? Thank you. I am awesome. So happy to be here. How did I do on that last name there?

Did I butcher it too bad? No. You did great. I'm surprised. There you go. There you go. The the rolling of the r had to had to squeak that one in there. So Tell us what kind of business that you're in, what brings you to the king's table today? Yeah. So I am a serial entrepreneur. So to to give an umbrella to what I do is Social Enterprise. Everything that I do falls under social enterprise and social impact and making a difference. I have a couple of companies.

Some of them are educational companies. Of their real estate development companies, but they all fall under that umbrella because that is my passion. I love how you've simplified so many different angles of what you do into a sentence of social or not even a sentence, a a label. And so I love it. We're gonna dive into Chaz. But before we do, why at this stage?

I mean, multiple companies, serial entrepreneur, you just tell me you're about to leave the country in travel and they're in business and you're doing the queen thing, why do you still push after all of your success? Well, It's it sounds like a cliche, but it's my kids. I'm gonna be honest. It's my kids. I have 3 little ones. And number 1, I wanna give them the lifestyle that I feel that that they should be living right now as young children.

But additionally, why I'm in the social enterprise space is because I want the world that I'm leaving to them to be something that I'm proud of. Regardless of how I got the world, I came into this error at this certain point. All the social economic, environmental issues that we are faced with, I wanna do my part to make an impact so that my children's generation is better off than we were if that's at all possible. Yeah. I love that.

And and you kinda have a dual purpose there, not only of of providing and pushing for your children, but then for the world that they're living in, I love that perspective. Legacy is what I'm hearing. Big thing for me as well. And, yeah, it's so interesting when you meet people like us who wake up in the morning thinking generations ahead. It's like, Mhmm. A little bit odd. We're kinda Oh, we are.

That's why I say I'm like, it's lonely at the top, not because there's no people up here because we're just the odd ball out. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I find myself scrolling through social media, and it's not that that that a car or a house or, the material things are are bad. I mean, I think we all like nice things. I have some nice things, but, like, at the end of the day, what really pushes what sounds like you and me both is what's happening 2050 100 years from now.

Yeah. Yeah. And it's it's great to have an impact on that. It it kinda sounds like you're a narcissist. I did this, but, you know, It's that's what pushes me every day is knowing that I'm having an impact on what's gonna be happening 20, 30 years down the road. How do you think that you came to that being such not only the thing for you, but then so clear. Like, you just know that you know, obviously, in your answers, I can tell.

But, like, was that in the way that you were brought up or something that happened along in your story. Tell us about that. Yeah. Absolutely. So I was brought up uniquely also in a very fundamentalist religious background. And so being brought up in that in that environment, it it changes who you are as a person. I initially was going to be a missionary. That was my goal in life.

Honestly, I have some skills that the most modern people do not have, and they were particularly cultivated throughout the years because I felt like I was going to be in some rainforest somewhere, completely just relied on myself for for everything. And so that was kind of my upbringing for a lot years.

And I've since changed my own philosophies and beliefs as we've gone ever I've matured and gone on, but that was something that really planted a seed in me that I'm here for a purpose, and my purpose is greater than just me as an individual. Yeah. Yeah. I love that because, really, I guess, if you break down what a missionary is, is it someone giving themselves up for a greater cause or another people even or something, which is what you've just described.

So that's really cool that you kinda link those 2 together, especially as it's developed into business over the course of time and not just serving. Okay. Let's talk about how you got started in in entrepreneurship just in general. Like, how did it all begin for you? That's funny. It's kind of it's my it's my greatest says and also my greatest failure. I'm actually educated as an attorney.

And when I was getting ready to graduate law school, I'd already been working for a year or 2 in a very, very large, one of the largest IP firms in the nation. And I really loved it. I loved it. I I loved what we were doing. I how we were helping the masses through large corporations, but I really didn't love the environment. Honestly, I didn't love the partnership. Those who are familiar with how corporate works, it's very superficial most of the time, and I had a problem with that.

And so I still wanted to do great work and really big work I wanted to do it in a way that felt that it was in integrity for me. And so I started my own company on the side and then and eventually just grew into something that was my full time job. It was right before the economic crash. And when our whole entire society pretty much imploded, where people were losing their homes, their mortgages, were going unpaid, and I created a proprietary system on helping people to save their homes.

And so it it just exploded all of a sudden. I literally put up a sign, and my first Monday, I had a line down the street with people waiting to come in because people were desperate. And that's that's how it started, really. Wow. You know, that Wolfe, that may me think of oh, shoot. When people break down sales, marketing, the offer, it doesn't oh, I'm I'm gonna butcher this, but it made me think of, like, selling selling something so specific.

But if you're in the right spot Chaz it it it can be sold out within minutes, obviously, because it's the right offer, it's the offer for the right people at the right time and the right moment in the right place. And that's what it sounds like it was, especially so you had a physical location. You put a sign out that you can help people with their house. It's 2007,89, and and people start just lining up. Yeah. Yeah. I actually was renting a tiny little space inside of another friend's office.

He had given me this, like, his closet, basically. Wow. And I thought it was just gonna be nothing. I had my little computer set up, and I thought maybe four or five people But I had told a couple of specific people, and they were connectors in the community. And they, it just went like wildfire. Like, literally people are like, are you crazy? Literally, I was a millionaire in 2 weeks. And it was not nothing that I went, out looking for. There was definitely not.

I didn't need to take care of myself course of my family financially, but it was nothing. It was beyond my wildest dreams. I never thought that. I thought I have something that can help people these people need help. I can make money doing it. Let's do this, but it just Yeah. It grew. It grew, like, crazy.

Yeah. I mean, so there's I can only imagine the things happening in and out of that type of, volume, really, revenue, volume, people, problems, all that stuff within such a short period of time. Let's transition into a a bad decision. I like to go good sometimes first, but since we you led me right to a millionaire within 2 weeks, I can only imagine how messy that was. Yes. So let's talk about a bad decision.

Something that you did that was just, like, you'd take it back a hundred Wolfe over, save us from all your all your time and investment in that. Yeah. Well, it came out of that same story, honestly. Thankfully, I learned my my biggest lessons all at the same time, but I got them over and done with was this was very short lived. I don't know those who were in the industry and followed the industry. Our contenders, you being in the legal field, our contenders were a big bank.

And little old me and eventually 2 or 3 other attorneys and other specialists, there's no way we can fight that. And being very young and ambitious, I'm like, oh, sure we can. Sure we can. We did a lot of good for our clients, the ones that were able to get into the door, but those who know the banks were able to instantly almost overnight changed the law so that the loophole that we were working with that made us successful was therefore no longer available. It was actually illegal.

The decision came down on a Friday, And on Monday, we basically have to shut our doors. Me, being the ecotistical person I am, I'm like, absolutely not. We are not shutting our doors. Wolfe, our doors got shut. The FBI came and raided us. So Woah. It was a whole thing. It was a whole thing. Like I said, It was big. When I go go, I go, I go big, good and bad. So Monday, we were told to shut down. I'm like, we are not shutting down. We are helping people. We are crusaders. We're activist.

Well, the FBI came in that Friday, so we had about a work week to get our act together. The the FBI came in on Friday and raided us, and they're like, you were stopping Yeah. So yeah. That was all. Okay. So so is the lesson in there Get it while it's hot, or is it shut shut it down when you should have, or like, Wolfe, how what did you learn from that? A couple of things that I learned there was that know your limit. Know what your actual impact is.

And when we started back up again, we weren't able to save people's homes. But we we're able to mitigate the damage. If I knew what I knew now, I would have said, okay, we can't save your home, but we can mitigate your damages. We can get your family somewhere safe. We can save you from a bankruptcy. We can save you from financial ruin. We can save you from homelessness.

Instead of going for that big pot for everybody, we could have just mitigated damages And that's what I learned really from that is realistically look at what are your tools, what are your resources, and who is your adversary, even if you're right, Sometimes the vagina's just too big for you to take on right now. Yeah. I love what you said at the very end at the very end right now. It doesn't mean that the fight isn't worth it.

It just means that maybe right now, a little bit more strategy, a lit maybe another connection something else is necessary for that battle to be won. I love that perspective. I can only imagine what it was like having FBI agents rage your office and and and forcefully shut you down. It was scary. Sure. Yeah. So you open back up and and you're off and running in a in a slightly different trajectory, still helping people, but just in a different way. Exactly.

Yeah. What was a good decision that you made then? What what helped you kind of maybe get past that or what in the years to come? What allowed you to really scale up from there, from such a It's like a a rocket ship start. No. And that was it. Is be more intentional was one of my big things and stay in integrity. That was those are the big things that drive my life with every business I've started. Regardless of what I'm doing, do it with integrity because, yeah, the FBI came in.

Yeah. They raided us and they shut us down. But, you know, I'm not in jail. Let's just you know? There were never any charges. There was nothing criminal because I maintained my integrity. Everything that I did was above board, and thing was with integrity. And I do that now with my companies. I'm the first person to say, look, I have messed up, and I'm gonna do what I need to do to make it right. And I've use that as a guiding principle in all of my businesses and all my business dealings.

And I think that's the lesson that I've learned from the beginning, thankfully, and it's just guided me up until today. How would you take those principles? So number 1, the finding a great offer or a great service and sticking it in a in a a pool of people that are super hungry for that. And then if the flip point of that of sticking with integrity, letting it be a guiding principle, I'm just thinking of the person who's listening right now. They're not seven figures yet.

They're really trying to they're they're in the grind of it. Right? And and they they haven't hit a $1,000,000 in in 2 weeks. And and they're really trying to figure out how do they get there. And they're hearing you talk about integrity and they're like, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, Ty, I hear you. But, like, how do you think that that applies to them this week as they're going out with their clients, working inside their teams, trying to get the next sale and that type of a Yeah.

It goes down to the basics of what are you selling your product and your service? Are you selling fluff, basically? And we all know that just sells. If we market it properly junk sells, whether it's a service or a product and maintaining that integrity of really having something that you know that you you're really giving something that's solving a problem. And you're and what you're saying the problem is is really the problem that's really being solved.

I think that's the first thing and then communication across the board with your, your clients, your intended clients. Again, if you make mistakes, we all do, be in integrity about it, say, this is my fault. I mess up, that allows your clients to see you as a person, but also to gain loyalty. And nothing sells like loyalty. You know what I mean? There's stuff that I am doing now that I have that new stuff, just stuff that's not even relevant to some of my past clients.

And they're always like, hey, can I use this? Chaz I purchase this? Or maybe I have a friend or a family, and these are masses of people who are talking thousands of people that come to me doing this without any marketing on my part. And it's because they know what I put out is what I say I'm putting out, and I stand behind it.

And I think that as people are growing in their business and they're growing their business, if they have that attitude of I am going to help you, and you're gonna pay me. You're gonna pay me well for helping you, but we're all gonna be happy. That's that's gonna go a long way. Yeah. I heard a couple of things in there just for the listener's sake here. I heard the experience or the delivery of whatever it is that your service or product is. Like, do that. Don't just sell it. Do it.

And do it well. In fact, I think I posted about this either earlier today or maybe it was yesterday. I can't remember, but just really honing in on the experience of what your what your service or your product offers, what problem it solves as Ty Hed just said. If you can do that and you do it well, there will be another and another and another, and people will find you based on the integrity piece.

Of course, there's always reasons to pay for marketing and try to get bigger and scale, all that fun stuff. But the reputation or the baseline will be more if you do it the right way from the beginning. Correct. And that's what I hear Ty saying now. And and even now, your yes is yes.

Your no is no. And and over the course of time, because I think a lot of entrepreneurs are listening now either haven't been seasoned long enough, or they have been, but they just are still maybe maybe they're rebuilding. If you go 10 years, of just doing the right thing in business and you look back, there will be relationships. There will be impact.

There will be things that you look back on, and you go, Wolfe, I had no idea that was happening, but because I was making choices and doing things the right way, people noticed or people remembered or you have a reputation or it gets you in certain doors, whatever it might be, it matters is what you're saying. Yep. Absolutely. You're great at articulating that. Thank you. Yeah. No. It's good.

I think that your experience and then for for us to know, I mean, for the guy who's grinding it out, like, like, some sometimes it feels as if conversations like this, it's like, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But I gotta get to the job site today or yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But I've got a client who's hard to deal with. And it's like, yeah. But, you know, these things really do matter. So I think it's important that we break them down.

I'm curious to know, Todd, is there a certain process that you have around making decisions? Obviously, that's kinda what the what we've been focused on. Like, a discipline or a process, something that you take decisions through in order to make good decisions repeatedly? Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. I always have wild ideas and so I'm always fielding things and decisions and don't do this and do that. And so I allow myself to explore all the possibilities first.

I allow myself again as wild as possible. What's the best situation? And I love that part of it. But then when I really sit down, I really have to look at the pros and cons. I always have an ongoing list of what's important to me right now, and everyone has that. It it varies for everybody depending on your lifestyle, but If the decision I'm about to make doesn't support the things that are really important to me, then it's an automatic note for me.

Yep. And it doesn't matter how fun it is, how crazy it sounds, how wealthy it's gonna make me or any of Chaz. If it doesn't directly support, and I can't say, yes, this supports the my whys, essentially. It's a no. After that, it's just looking at my resources. I'm a I'm a practical person. And so I, even though I dream big and do, like, really crazy and same things, I always base it on data. I'm a real data person, so I wanna see the, do I have the resources to do?

So I know the right people do I have the right connections? Do I have enough money? Do I have enough time? And the things that I don't have, and I still wanna do, I get those things. Just if I make a plan and I make sure that I have what I need and then I go for it. And I'm not afraid to fail, honestly. I've done that enough. I'm falling on my face enough. And so, part of my decision, I try to remove the fear that's always there.

There's always some fear or some hesitation, but I always try to say, have we made it so far? Yes, we have. If we don't make it, can we pick up and move and do something else? We absolutely can. And so that's that's basically how I make every decision in my life. Especially complicated ones. Especially the complicated ones. I love what you said there. So that that's that's how you make all decisions because you and I have a very similar process.

And I think that there's a lot of people who have looked at me over the years. I've been like, yeah, dude, but that's pretty hardcore. Like, you make every decision like Chaz. And I'm like, yes. Every decision. Because otherwise, like, I have this kind of a weird phrase unto what? And and and what it means is why am I doing this? Like, what is, like, why?

And so what you just said as far as identifying what you want and then making the decision to or not to based on whether it's gonna help you get what you want, just seem makes so much sense to me. And so I'm I'm reiterating it for the listener now, but I think for what you just said Chaz well, for you to be able to free your mind of the potential failure. How do you do that in the moment? Right? Cause you just let yourself go really big and, like, best case scenario.

And, of course, there's always the worst case scenario, but how do you free yourself to then step forward into the decision knowing both good and bad scenarios? Well, I think it comes down again to my values and my biggest value is love. And I know that it doesn't matter what I do, whether I start from scratch, whether I lose everything, whether I blow the whole world up or do something really, really bad. I know that the people in my corner love me.

You know, I have the unconditional love of the people that I have surrounded myself within my circle. So I think that gives me some type of courage to do things that I never go I believe that I'm never gonna lose that. I'm never gonna lose their love, even if I intentionally do some really bad things. I think I'll still have their love, and that's important to me because that's one of my most important personal values. And I think anything else I do, any failure that I do, it's gonna be okay.

And so I do it afraid, honestly. I do it afraid just knowing that I lose everything except for the thing that's most important to me. Yeah. I I that's almost like the ultimate worst case scenario. Like, I'm considering this deal. What's the best case scenario? What's the worst case scenario? But for you, the ultimate life worst case scenario is that you literally lose everything. And even in that scenario, you wouldn't have lost the love of those that are around you. And so in that moment.

It sounds like it just gives you confidence to go. I'm not a 100% certain. I have a pretty good sense that this is gonna help me get what I want, so I'm gonna press into it. But worst case scenario, I still got people's love, or I still got the the folks that are around me. So it gives you confidence in that moment. Yeah. Did you learn that somewhere? Was that given to you by a pairing? Like, is that an 8? Did you read it? Like, how did you get that? Like, that's pretty powerful.

I think it it came from experience. So I started my ventures out into the world pretty young. I had moved out of my parent's house when I was fifteen to take a a a job, sort of, it was more of a missionary camp, and so I was pretty young going out into the world, which means I made a lot of mistakes. I made them really hard and I made them really early, just allowing my family, knowing that my family, regardless, I remember calling my dad 1 evening. I had gotten into the situation.

I was away from home. I believe it was maybe an 8 hour drive. My dad literally got in his vehicle and drove, and he came and got me 8 hours. You know? And without even knowing the situation, he just said someone needs me. My daughter needs me. And I think knowing Chaz, knowing just like my parents, my dad, my mom, my siblings, now my spouse, my children, the circles I've created now, knowing that they they all have that same capacity. They all have the same capacity to to come and get me.

Yeah. And that's not going anywhere. I think just cultivating that and I have tested it over the years not always intentionally, but in testing that over and over, you begin to realize that this is true. And I believe that is true Chaz their love is there. And so that's how I've learned it really is just by trial and error. Yeah. I I think even the test comes. I love how you you positioned it for love, right, because, like, you've tested it.

You put yourself in some sticky situations, and the people who are close around you still came and got They still they still came through for you, which I think is amazing. But I think it's the same for business. Also, if we never press in, if we never test the bounds, like you said, and and maybe lose or fail or stumble or or have to start over, then then we don't have that history, not necessarily history of of failure, but a history of, oh, okay.

That's all that it that's all that that happened in that moment. I only just skinned my knee a little bit. I didn't die. So Yeah. You said that perfectly, and I've had that moment where, oh, this is all. I really thought I was gonna die. This is all. This is it. Yeah. And doing that enough, and I think having the advantage of having done it early, even in business, just I've literally lost everything in business. I have had literally a night in my car. And I'm like, where am I going tomorrow?

What's happening? And you don't get that. You don't get lower than that at some point. And so knowing that this is it, Okay. I'm cool. Right. Let's go again. But not again, no, because I learned those lessons, but yes. Yeah. And especially as you get older and, like you said, spouse, kids, house, life.

And so how do you how now, even though I could still tell that you've got a little, a pusher inside of you pressing all the bounds, how do you how do you balance Chaz, like, that side of you that's, like, I'm married. I'm a mom. I need to be responsible. Make good choices. But then the other part of you is let's find the limits. Let's push harder. Let's let's who cares? I'm only, you know, that's it.

Like, oh, I Chaz I can take care of the house and or I can take care of the life being in a car again? Like, there's obviously 2 on one on each shoulder talking to you. How do you balance that? Well, I've had the advantage of cultivating a intimate circle of family and friends that go with me. They have they've whether they're just as crazy as me or they love the adventure as much as I do, they go Right.

Honestly. And but now I've learned, especially because my children are young and they need stability, I have learned to have a baseline. There's a line I won't cross. There's the savings I won't dip into. There's the home I won't mortgage. There's certain moves I won't make without considering them because they are my value. System. And so everything else I feel is like that's play stuff. I Chaz play with this. I can explode that.

I can lose Chaz. But there's a base that I won't lose, and it's because my children need that. They need that stability and they need Chaz, that security. That's really what keeps me in the both worlds where I have enough to play with, enough danger, and standing on the edge of the cliff, but I have that rope tied around me anchoring me back to my family and my kids. Yeah. Yeah. I think it's actually a great way of saying it, really.

I can I think I relate to that very, very well when I think about my own experience of building up something first off, it starts out of survival? We're very much in the same experience there. I I had to do this in order to survive. Like, it was just me. And so you get to that point, though, where you're like, okay. I'm willing to risk it all, but then things happen, kids, spouse, whatever it is, where you're like, okay. This piece right here, it's so far buried that it doesn't even matter.

Like, I can't play with it. It just it's it's for that sticky situation, but everything else is play. Let's go. Let's have fun. Let's let's get creative. If we lose it, no big deal, but at the same time, we're not trying to lose it. Like, it's not we're being reckless here, but but we are trying to build incredible things and That's that's what it takes in money or in business is money. It takes resource. It takes time, energy, all those resources to be able to press in. So loving your answers.

Okay. Are you ready for the speed round, Ty? Oh, no. What's going on? What's that? Okay. One word answers if you can. K. But sometimes I'll I'll dig for more. What is the one metric in in all of your businesses? Cause you've got different industries happening. What's the one metric that you would choose to track? If you could only pick 1 forever and ever. Impact. Impact. And how do you track impact, Ty? Yeah. Everything's different.

So some of my companies at how many jobs we've created, other ones at how many homes we've saved, and other ones at how many homes have we built, those type of things. So every company is different. We have an impact matrix, but it would be 3rd party impact. How many lives have we changed, basically? I love it. I love how you said you have an impact matrix.

Like, this is actually something that you're currently tracking at the moment inside of each of your companies and for you that you can't see her. She's shaking her head right now saying, duh, doesn't everybody? My company would they would closed. If we can't track what kind of impact we're making, the company needs to close. That's awesome. I love that. Okay. Second question is what book would you recommend that six figure business owner, Reed, who's trying to scale up?

Wow. That's a good question. It would probably be our iceberg is melting. It would probably be our iceberg is melting. Okay. And what's the takeaway from that book? How what happens when everything is is just going to hell? It's all being destroyed. How do you build the the emotional fortitude to make the decisions that you need to, to rescue as many people as you need to. Yeah. Yeah. I love that. I just I just heard a watched a TikTok this past weekend about this exact same thing.

The guy was on stage, And I think he was a prior military. He had an injured hand and was talking about emotional stability and basically that, like, good luck going against someone like me if you're willing to quit, right, because I'm not giving up. I've got he had one finger, and then that was his whole hand, basically. And he's like, you're like, good luck. Like, you have to be mentally strong. Good luck trying to compete against me.

I'm not I ain't quitting on what I what my goals are, my dreams are, my purposes. So, anyway, I love that answer. K? Do you intentionally network or mastermind with other entrepreneurs? I do not. Now. Okay. Okay. Sounds like there's a there's strategy behind that. Tell us what. Yeah. I don't have the capacity right now, honestly. And I found that the circles that I want to be it's very, very hard for me to get into there.

I mean, we're talking the top 1 to 2% right now, and the other ones don't matter to me. I know that sound it sounds really fiscal, but they don't matter to me where I am in my journey. So I'm kind of right in that mid space where I'm not quite up there with the top 1, 2% that I need to be with. And the the rest aren't very valuable to me right now. And so it's not something I focus on.

Yeah. No. I love I love how intentional you are about deciding where you are and what you can get from being around others. It sounds like it's just a matter of for you. There's some key there's some key relationships that you're trying to go after, which is incredible. Good for you. Yeah. But if you had only had 1 hour in a week to successfully run your businesses, like you do now, what would you do in that 1 hour? Mindset and mentality is really big for me.

So I I would start the 1 hour with that. However, long it's me to get my head in the game, I would take it. If it took me the whole hour every time, then that's what we would do, but hone that skill so I could do it pretty quickly. Chaz would be the first thing I would do is get my minds in the game, and then I would touch base with my team. But you're only as strong as the other people that are supporting you, and there's no way to run a business by doing it by yourself.

And so I would spend a lot of time understanding my team, what are their struggles, how can I help them be the best that they can be so that they can move my company forward? And then I would check our matrix. I'm really big again with data. If I don't know what's going on, I don't know what to correct. And then I would use the rest of the time to actually correcting the problems that I had discovered in listening to my team. And also in looking at the data and making those corrections.

That would be that'd be it pretty much every single day. I love it. Very good. And you've kind of already answered this based on our on your history, but, Ty, if you lost it all, what would you do? Do the same thing again. Would do the same thing, and I have no regrets. No. But I am a wealth of knowledge, and I'm I'm realizing that as I get a little older, as I'm, like, running into thinking about doing my memoirs and things like that, I'm a wealth of knowledge.

And I could sell that wealth of knowledge in just about any industry and any format. And that's what I would do. If I lost everything, what I didn't lose is my mind, that hopefully, unless that includes a lot of everything, then we are lost. If I still have my mind and my faculties about me, I know that there's something. My experiences, information I have, something that I can do that can sell that will help someone, and that's valuable to someone. And exactly what I do.

I would stick with my knowledge. Yeah. I love that. It's so it's so interesting to hear. The knowledge obviously is is the common theme that doesn't stolen or doesn't get taken, but to see how people would use it in those circumstances is always very unique to me. So very cool.

So everything is under my name. Thai out of 10, if you could figure out how to spell it. We'll put it in the link below. Absolutely. Email, social media. Even though I run a lot of companies and I am the top of my companies, I like to still keep my finger on what's going on with my clients and with my base.

I am pretty easy to get a hold of. Unless you're trying to call me, I will never answer the phone. But social media, text messaging, I love talk to people, especially the people who are doing the things that I do, people who are interested in impact, who are interested in social enterprises, and really making a difference in their communities, and environment and political and financial situations.
