Speaker 1:That's great. So what are you been up to? Well, I've been doing a lot.
Speaker 2:Besides doing a whole lot of things for us, with the podcast and Our YouTube coming out next month in our first guest Next month. I just got back from Monterey. Last week I had to go to a contractual class and some of the member down there in Monterey Association of realtors I love that place, man, it's just, it's so beautiful it's. It's one of God's gifts to this world.
Speaker 1:So you were down there for would you go down there for a seminar or class or something?
Speaker 2:It was a contract class, the the class I went to. The food wasn't the best, but the teaching skill of the teacher was. It was on point and I learned actually a lot like it. It refreshed my memory and a lot of things and he brought the light a lot with me with different experiences that he's gone through being a Relature down there.
Speaker 1:So you got a hold of me when you're down there and something. Something happened and you didn't tell me exactly how it ended up happening. You want to tell them what? Happened with that guy. What did he point out about you?
Speaker 2:so it was, it was break. It was after lunch, it was break and he came to me, says it's just, tony, I already have a podcast. And I was like, yes, I do. He said was it Intel that said it entails with real estate investing. He said, ah, that is great. He says I'm gonna have to follow you. And I was like them saying to myself, well, how did he know that I have a podcast? And I remember I told someone and then he thought it was probably great for me doing my own podcast with, with you and To you know, by word of mouth, that's how I got out.
Speaker 1:Man, that's great. So what kind of stuff did you guys cover in this contract class?
Speaker 2:Down there and moderates a whole different world. So I did learn this because, as being a realtor, especially up here in Northern California, compared down there, down to Monterey, they have a lot of water rights and you have to be very particular on what you do with water rights, because Water rights, because you're right there by Monterey Bay, if you're close to the Bay I it's just a whole lot of legislative things that you have to worry about. So that's why they have I call them professional Transaction coordinators that know how to go about with the forms in real estate to make you Accomplish everything you need to to seal the deal. If, even if you're a person that is help person buying or a person who's helped selling a home because oh you know the homes to the price point down there is, it's insane, we're talking million-dollar homes. For instance, brad Pitt, he lives in Carmel. He bought his his home down there the year or two ago was 40 million dollars. So they're they're real estate. The real estate game down there is built different.
Speaker 1:That's like real luxury real estate yes, it is that fake.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that that come that, that, that money, that that, that you're like you know what money's, not even an object, it's that type of money, but I love it down there. The people have always been good to me. The food, the food not for the class, but the food overall, yes, and you know you have the, the aquarium. I love looking at the whales, the dolphins, just nature itself. It just clears your head up. But I'll be going back down there soon. Since I'm a part of their association. I actually learned a lot and I get a lot of emails about. They work with a lot of. They work with all the realtors that are part of that association. Up here, where I'm at, they do okay job, but down there they're. They're really good at making sure that they want to make sure that the real estate agent succeed in their business man.
Speaker 1:that's great, so it sounds like there's a real good community down there. Yes, it is.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I, if I could, I would be living down there right now as we speak man, that's great.
Speaker 1:So. So what else happened? While you're down there, do you like make any more connections or something? I know you're networking everywhere you go.
Speaker 2:Yes, I always am. I network with this one. Gentlemen, we, actually we can stay in constant communication. It was crazy how we met. It was just like we went up and Got some breakfast before class and we just started started talking away and Now we got a friendship and a bond together. You know that you don't know who, who you're gonna encounter. So you know I treat everybody with the utmost Respect and it goes a long ways, a long ways in life and long ways and work just even your daily activities in life.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's part of being a A professional. I think, exactly always holding everybody up with a certain amount of respect, you know.
Speaker 2:And I have to contribute that to you know also what that is a. I had home training from you, know mom and dad. Yeah, they taught me a lot. They told me how you know how to handle, how to handle and present myself.
Speaker 2:So, it does. It does and that's what you know within real estate and real comes to real estate investing is how you hold yourself and that's where the trust you gain a lot of trust by the way you handle yourself, how your punctual. Like I talked to a couple people today. I told them I'd call them at a specific time and I call them right there the time. I said I had write that down. When you're consistent like that, like it helps your whole life better overall and especially in real estate, because you don't want nobody Just himmed up on time like I thought they were gonna call me and they didn't call, that's not being Professional in your profession.
Speaker 2:So I've really treasure how I handle myself, being on time, being punctual, and that's just like with me and you we talked about like someone to let the world to know, like we're about to be really consistent On this podcast part, because there's so much knowledge out there, a lot of people not understanding how things work. We're not. We're not experts at this, but we know how to go about doing things.
Speaker 2:So we want the world to know what's going on you know, basically, you know what, basically, as a what's new, would say for your game?
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's exactly what it is, as we're learning. We're just disseminating this game, man, just putting it out there, hoping someone you know, hopefully someone picks it up and they do something with it too right, and it's like to.
Speaker 2:It's like what a Tyler. Perry said, say it only takes one, one person that listens and you change your life. You've, you've done an abundance right, you've done it exactly.
Speaker 1:I think it was I Don't know, I think it was wallow for a million dollars worth of game. Who said there's eight billion people on the face of the planet. Yes, you really think that you can't find a hundred thousand people that are gonna like your thing? Exactly, that's all it takes a hundred thousand people like your thing and you're done. You don't have to do that. Nine to five, no more. It doesn't matter what your thing is, no.

We're figuring out our microphones and our equipment a lot better, and we just want to be Really clear that we're super grateful to everybody who's been going through and listening to our episodes, everybody who's stuck with us through all this.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think that's it, yeah and I was one of the people know, yeah, next I'm working on Everything with. The YouTube channel is gonna be the professionist real estate investing podcast channel, and we have one gentleman from the Midwest that we will be having on our first, first episode on YouTube.

I was even actually with them today and everything, and I definitely have to have a month. We we actually had a great conversation for a good 20 minutes today, just one-on-one, about from where we we was Two, three years ago to now and like we've brought in our mind, we've, we've brought in our mind to a place where it's just it's just ungodly how far we've come and we just don't take anything for granted.
Speaker 2:We just keep on, you know, just striving, getting ourselves better mentally, physically, and what more can I say that this I just thank God every day, you know, I tell people there's like, how are you doing in the morning?
