In the grand theater of life. We all seek a comeback, a resurgence, a rekindling of our inner fire. But how do we spark that flame? Welcome to Reignite Resilience. This is not just another podcast. This is a journey, a venture into the heart of human spirit, the power of resilience and the art of reigniting our passions.

Natalie Davis: 0:29

Welcome back to part two of our two-part interview with Garrett Fry. We are so excited to have you back. If you missed part one, just know that we've had the opportunity to do a deep dive with Garrett, to learn more about his business and entrepreneurship from his vantage point and also hear a little bit more about his passions and entrepreneurship from his vantage point and also hear a little bit more about his passions. But let's dive into today's session where we're going to talk about family relationships and what else there is to come. We hope you enjoy. The other magical piece that you and Matt had with that podcast is how many years did you guys go before actually meeting each other face toto-face?

Garrett Frey: 1:04

Oh, my goodness we were Because, again, I coached him for a long time, then he became a coach for a long time, then we became the podcast together. I think we were a good solid year into the podcast when we actually met. I was going to do a sport driving school for BMW in South Carolina and when we were getting ready and we were signing me up to go do that, I told Sarah. I said you know, matt lives right down the highway not far.

Garrett Frey: 1:40

And I was like is there any way we can flip the bill for Matt to come and join us for the day of driving? Yeah, and so it was awesome. It was the absolute best way that we could have met. We both have a love and passion for cars and it immediately threw us into a competitive environment which instantly was like who did that faster? Who was able to go around the skid pad? Who did that faster? Who was able to go around the skid pad? I mean, we were racing each other on a oval skid pad to see who could catch one another, and we were the last two. At the end of the day, we were the last two that were setting the bar, and I think it's because we were so competitive with each other that it was like there's no way I'm letting you win. And it was hysterical. It was the best two days that we spent I could have ever asked for and it just cemented in an amazing relationship.

Pamela Cass: 2:32

Yeah, I love that. That's so awesome. Yeah, just the dynamic.

Natalie Davis: 2:37

I know Well, and you've sent me some videos of you driving cars and apparently there's costumes involved. I mean, I'm down for the costume piece of it. I don't want the cars, I don't want to drive the cars.

Pamela Cass: 2:50

Just for the costume piece. I'm totally okay with that. Natalie, how have I not heard about the costume piece of it?

Garrett Frey: 2:52

You have to have a theme. Yes, I am all about themes we are Virgos, we love themes.

Pamela Cass: 2:59

We love themes. Matter of fact, if you tell us a theme, we will go all in on the theme, 100%.

Garrett Frey: 3:05

We have a couple racing teams. One of them is Run CRV, which is a playoff of Run DMC, which costumes are gold chains, bucket hats. Of course we got the big old gold rim glasses. Yes, my other car, which we don't talk about the name very often, but there's a certain socket when you're working on cars, that is. It's a joke in the mechanic community that you always lose it. The 10 millimeter socket always gets lost, it just you can never find one. Well, I found one in the car and the car's bright yellow. The name of the car is Urine Lock, but it's not spelled as Y-O-U-R, it's urine.

Pamela Cass: 3:43

Yes oh, y-o-u-r, it's urine. Yes, oh.

Garrett Frey: 3:45

That's that car which we don't know what the costumes are going to be. My friend actually wants to change it to urine drag, so we'll see where that goes.

Pamela Cass: 3:53

Oh, there, it is, there's that yeah.

Garrett Frey: 3:57

So you guys, if you want to come out and participate, it's a whole lot of fun, absolutely a whole lot of fun.

Pamela Cass: 4:03

Absolutely. Give us the dates and we will check our calendars.

Garrett Frey: 4:06

Exactly. You're like we can't come. We know right now the dates are booked.

Natalie Davis: 4:11

That's awesome. I love that You're in drag.

Garrett Frey: 4:14

That will be a good one I told you, but he threw the name out. I'm like you do realize what you just signed up for, right? He's like Like I know I don't think it's a good name anymore, but you can do so much with that.

Pamela Cass: 4:24

Like so much so much.

Garrett Frey: 4:25

It's going to be good. It's going to be good. I think it should be year in flow.

Pamela Cass: 4:31

Don't go there, don't. Oh my gosh.

Natalie Davis: 4:37

Well, garrett, I do want to go back and circle back around. You mentioned that you and Sarah kind of had these rules of operation that you sat down and created around year one of marriage. Walk us through that from the relationship side, because working from home everyone and going through a pandemic with three kids at home and life and in-laws and everyone's close and gets closer I would imagine that those rules of operation were really vital every year of marriage. But now you guys are 23 years in. Go back year one. Walk us through that process. What were some of those rules and how has that foundation really helped you to have such success in your marriage for so long?

Garrett Frey: 5:19

Yeah, I'm grateful for my wife Sarah. She is the most amazing person I've ever been around ever. I met Sarah when I was eight. I knew it when I met her that she actually still has a box of all the little letters that I would pass out my window. We had the neighbor girl run down, take them out the window and pass them into Sarah's window. She still has them. Oh, that's adorable. All the little check the box here, yes or no, that kind of stuff. Oh, my goodness, I got shot down so many incredible times trying to kiss her and yeah, no, I was determined we didn't date till after college and when we got married we actually we were together for a while before we actually decided to have kids and to start a family and we sat down one night and we realized we were living in Seattle.

Garrett Frey: 6:10

I had a really good job. I was working for Land Rover, jaguar of Audi in Bellevue, washington. Sarah was working for a startup computer company and we were working hard, we were making good money and we had the life where we would pass each other in the hallway and she would be like dinner's ready and I was going out while she was coming in and we like high five in the hallway. We were at that place when we were young I was in my early 20s and we had that moment of like is this the environment that we want to raise kids in? And is this the environment that we want to raise kids in? And is this the environment that we really saw ourselves in of where she was running off to fix servers in the middle of the night and I was hanging out by myself at the house, and vice versa, during the day? So we sat down one night and we're like, let's make a plan of what we want to see, and we started off with our relationship and the time that we want to spend with each other and we very quickly realized that, whatever we want to do, we want to build a business together, and the reason we wanted to build a business together is that gave us full control over our time and our energy. The path of it what we could make that look like the other thing was is that we wanted to create a business and an environment that, when we brought kids in the world, we could give them incredible amounts of time.

Garrett Frey: 7:33

My dad was a big studied a lot of Stephen Covey and that type of teachings. And one of the things he said to me when I was really young, he said, is that really good relationships with children doesn't come from quality time, it comes from quantity time. And he said that was my goal, as raising you is to give you quantity time. That's why he dragged me all over the United States. As he said, I got to spend as much time with this kid as I possibly can, and from the age of about eight till about 16, I walked with my dad every single morning at 6am.

Garrett Frey: 8:08

He would wake me up, we would walk down to the coffee shop, we would walk back. It was about two miles and sometimes we wouldn't say a word to each other and sometimes we would talk the entire time. But that was one of his ways. And he always said as long as you will wake up and put your shoes on and come out, he out, I'll continue to ask. And we just did it every day without fail. Well, I wanted to make sure I could have that type of quantity time with my kids, so that went on the list Real quick. That night I realized that what we were doing right there was not in alignment with what we had written on our sheets.

Natalie Davis: 8:45

How you were living and what you wrote down, not the same.

Garrett Frey: 8:48

Didn't match and I think Sarah was looking at it of like this is a plan for the future and I looked at it as like why are we waiting? As I said, structure and like putting things together and making sure it's a well-oiled plan, not my game. So I just went in and quit the next day which will freak your spouse out, by the way, if you go, just do that kind of stuff and she was really interesting. She went in and she got a work remotely contract set up because she could do everything online with her startup computer company. So her job traveled with her. Because there's like two days later we had a party at the house and my friend walked in and he said man, we've been looking for a house like this. He goes, we've been. We love your neighborhood, we love everything about it. We just can't find a home like this one.

Natalie Davis: 9:35

I said what's your price range?

Garrett Frey: 9:37

He said two, 50. I said sold done and he was like what do you mean? I said we're done, we're leaving and you guys can buy our house.

Garrett Frey: 9:45

And we did the paperwork at the attorney's office the next day and a week later the house was sold and we were packing up our stuff and moving to Southern Oregon which, coincidentally, as I called my dad and I said we just sold our house. He said that's funny. We just bought the house down the street from us and we were going to turn it into a rental and I said, can we rent it? And he said if you remodel it, you can live here rent free. And I said I'll do it. So we spent a year and a half remodeling a house on the river and that's where my girls were born and, yeah, so that's where we all started out. But this was. We were so clear on the vision that having that year and a half to just walk away and breathe and reground ourselves and something about Southern Oregon also got you out of trying to keep up with the Joneses. Nobody was trying to one up each other on the lifestyle, the cars, the things, the travel.

Garrett Frey: 10:43

I was so grateful to make some picture frames and see if I could go sell them at the farmer's market. That was so much fun. I had this little wood shop. It had a little wood-burning stove in the corner and I would go in there when it was snowing out and I would make picture frames and do little odds and ends, and then I would remodel this house that we were living in and it was great, it was wonderful. And then we were also, I think we were five houses down from my parents, so we would walk down with the girls when the girls were born.

Natalie Davis: 11:11

They're not 20.

Garrett Frey: 11:11

They turned 20 this last weekend. So yeah, oh my gosh. When we say two decades of running coaching, what happened here was is that that all happened very fast because the minute my kids were on their way we found out we're having twins All of a sudden. Being the guy that makes picture frames and sells them at the farmer's market was not a tangible plan anymore.

Garrett Frey: 11:35

That was a like you got to get your act together, you are now responsible for not one, but two new beings coming into the world. Exactly, yes, and we ran very quickly, got our real estate license and it was almost like right back to back where we started selling real estate. And then we went right into saying, okay, well, because real estate fit the picture. Yeah, when we were sitting there going, we're running a business together, sarah's going to run the backside, I'll be the front side salesperson we very quickly said are we trying to make two incomes or one perfect agent income, which we decided one perfect agent income was the goal. We went full force into that and then it was very soon after that, coaching came up.

Garrett Frey: 12:20

And then, when coaching came up, then we did both for a while and as real estate got really successful and coaching started to go, we had that moment of we need to pick a path. And I'll never forget going in and sitting down with my managing broker and saying I feel bad doing this, but I got to go this route. This is where my passion is. This is what I want. That's how it all started, but it all spurred back to this document that we went. We still bring it up every. I mean we are starting something completely new right now. And Sarah and I, 23 years later, still sit on the back porch and we still sit there and say I'm still not doing anything without you, like we are building something together. This fits our plan, we work well together and yeah, that's still the plan and it's interesting.

Pamela Cass: 13:08

As coaches, that's one of the things that we go through with our clients. Really at the front is what's your vision? And a lot of people aren't clear. What's your values? What do people don't even they're like oh, I just never even thought about that. And if you don't have a clear vision for your life? I write a vision statement every single day. It's about a page and a half and it's evolved over time as things have come or things aren't as important anymore. Man, if you can do that every day and have a clear vision, it helps you make decisions.

Garrett Frey: 13:38

I look at like taking a road trip. And when you're taking a road trip like days, we're going a long road trip. It's interesting when you have a clear vision of what that trip is supposed to mean. You get to make all sorts of fun stops along the way, potentially Like oh, you want to go see the largest nonstick frying pan Done on the list. That's what this trip's about. We're going to go do that. And then there's the other trips that might be a couple of days long, like when my daughter, celeste and I she's at Texas A&M going to school when we were moving her down there. It wasn't about stop and smell the roses, it was about we've got three days and I got to get you there for orientation. We're on a mission. Hopefully we don't get a flat tire, hopefully everything goes as planned. And I think when you know what the mission is, the big vision, the goal of where you're going, you can take all the little stops along the way, make the adjustments, know what you're looking for. And biggest compliment I ever had I hope this comes across appropriately Biggest compliment I ever had.

Garrett Frey: 14:36

We were at a school event. My kids were probably third or fourth grade and a parent came up and they wanted us to go out to dinner with them. So we're like oh, yeah, sure We'll go out to dinner. So we're at dinner with them. Our kids were really good friends and they said so we have a little bet going on inside of our family. They said we are certain that you guys are drug dealers. Oh, and I said, why would you say that? They're like well, you live in a nice house, you have nice cars, you guys show up very clean, very, you know, you dress very nice.

Pamela Cass: 15:09

Oh my gosh.

Garrett Frey: 15:10

They said, and you are always at every event, every kid recital, you sponsor everything that happens on the school. If there's an auction, anything to raise money, sarah did the entire race, called the Foxtrot for the school and raised crazy amounts of money. She handled all the auctions, all the kids, she was the lead on all of them and they were like we don't know how you have time to do anything else because you're always here with your kids. And Sarah and I were like success that was on the list.

Pamela Cass: 15:45

That was our mission. It's not the drug dealer thing. That was not the persona that we wanted Drug dealer on the list.

Garrett Frey: 15:47

That was on our. That was our mission. It's not the drug dealer thing. That was the persona that we want.

Pamela Cass: 15:50

Drug dealer or realtor, yeah.

Natalie Davis: 15:56

I don't know if we're endorsing either, so it's okay.

Pamela Cass: 16:01

Oh my gosh, that's awesome. Yeah, that is huge, that's really big, and Garrett you actually answered my follow-up question that I had.

Natalie Davis: 16:09

I mean now that you're kind of at this crossroads. As we talk about resiliency and being able to overcome adversity and changes, you're at this crossroads. You and Sarah still sit on the porch and you're like you know what? Our operating agreement? It's the same, like our rules of engagement. They're the same.

Garrett Frey: 16:25

Yeah, I mean currently. Right now, we're going through a big change in our world. We are building a brand new company and we are working in a different direction than we've been before. I've learned a lot. I am so grateful for my 20 years, especially the last five years. I have learned so much and met so many incredible people. I look at the two of you and I look at all the rest of the coaches and most of them came out of the last five years, you know, four years plus, and I'm grateful for every single opportunity and every single person.

Garrett Frey: 16:57

But it's really interesting in sitting there and talking with Sarah. It's like what do we want to do different, moving forward? Is there anything you want to change? And I was really grateful to kind of come back to like no, like I don't think so. There's a little energy that Sarah has of wanting to go and build something of her own. I can just see a little bit of it, which I'm absolutely grateful for. If that's something that she wants to do. It scares me, because I do rely on her for a lot of stuff and I'm totally open to say that she makes a lot of my world work behind the scenes, because otherwise I am about as chasing squirrels. Add all over the board as you possibly get.

Pamela Cass: 17:38

I love that. I love it.

Natalie Davis: 17:39

Oh my gosh.

Pamela Cass: 17:40

I want to know what's next.

Natalie Davis: 17:41

I want to know what's next, what's next?

Garrett Frey: 17:44

Yeah. So Matt and I, we sat around here trying to figure out what do we want to build and what do we want to grow, and going through this transition was really interesting because I was letting Matt make his own decisions on what he would like to do, and it took a little while, as we were going through this transition, for him to be able to say all right, I want to go build something with you. Which was one of my happier moments of my life is when, you know, because I was ready to go build something on my own, I was actually thinking about what if I went to the community college and got my welding certification. I was like, let's start a little mobile welding business, like I'll be totally happy doing that. By the way, welding is one of my like. That's one of the places I go clear my head as I go build stuff with metal.

Pamela Cass: 18:26

I love it.

Garrett Frey: 18:29

I was like kicking around all these ideas and all of a sudden, matt calls me and goes what if? What if we did something? And what if we ran and we fired up a different podcast? We went a different direction, created a business that was similar to what we've been doing, what I've been doing, but also very different at the same time. That allowed us to open up some different doors. There's a lot of stuff we weren't allowed to do that we had grand ideas and visions and it just never was an easy thing to go do. Yeah, now, both Matt and I, we chuckle with each other. We're like you don't have to ask anybody. We are like. We just, like you, want to do that.

Natalie Davis: 19:03

Let's do that.

Garrett Frey: 19:04

Let's go do it. I love it. Primarily, we're going to be building out our new podcast. We've got like five episodes recorded. They're going to start going live here. We're going to be launching that here in the beginning of June.

Garrett Frey: 19:16

Awesome, the energy. I know we have a lot of people that are like, oh my gosh, is the energy going to change? Is your message is going to change? We're not creating a new selling system, and that's what I want everybody to be very, very, very understanding of what we're building. I don't want to compete with a selling system. That's not my thing, especially the one that we were working with. I love and I still back it up. I think it's incredible. The moving forward, though, where Matt and I got really excited was how can we help people live their best lives, build their best businesses, achieve their goals as they set for themselves and just raise the bar in anywhere they want to raise the bar at, and so we're opening it up a little bit. Even though our listenership is still very much real estate agent-centric, I'm hoping that our new platform is going to open up the box a little bit for more people to be.

Garrett Frey: 20:10

I've had a lot of people the minute I've explained it to them. They're like you mean, oh my gosh, my spouse will get something out of this. They don't work in real estate. I'm like, yeah, exactly. So the name of the company is called Life at 10 Tenths. That is the new path that we're taking. The term 10 tents comes from the racing world, and if I was going on a track, let's say for a track day, drive my car down. They open up the track so you can go out there and burn the tires off. We should go do it sometime.

Natalie Davis: 20:40

I'll be there for the costume part. So much fun.

Garrett Frey: 20:44

I'll have the snacks. Of course you will. They always start off the day by saying okay, guys, here's the track conditions. And they might say it's been cold out last night, there's dew on the track, this is going on, there was an oil spill last night. And they will say go out and drive your cars at and they will give you a six, tenths, seven, tenths, eight tenths, and the whole philosophy is that 10 tenths is where you are driving that car at the maximum of its ability. You're bringing the highest potential out of that vehicle and it's typically where fast lap times are set, records are set. It is getting the most out of that moment in that environment.

Garrett Frey: 21:25

So Matt and I started talking and we're like well, how does that apply to other areas of our life? And so we started talking about well, what about if you're a parent? And we all know the parents at the kids' sporting events that, yeah, there are kids out there on the field, but they're sitting up there on their phone texting and sending emails and whatnot. They're like oh, yeah, yeah, nice play. And they go right back to what they were doing. And I look at that and go like, man, you're being about a three-tenth parent right now. Good job for showing up, but what else could you do? Yeah. And then the other parent that is sitting in the stands, that is attentive, and they're there and they're watching their child, and the moment that kid turns.

Garrett Frey: 22:06

I remember Celeste said this to me one time. She says I'm so grateful that you're at every one of my events. And she says my favorite thing is when I look over at you and you're watching me. She says just to know that you are watching everything that I'm doing. She says that is the most special thing to me. We all know the parents too. That will paint their face and bring the cowbells and like go all out. And that's a memory.

Pamela Cass: 22:30

That's Natalie.

Garrett Frey: 22:33

And 10 tents might be that, by the way, like that might be the thing. Like my father-in-law would show up at 10 tents at the games he had the cowbell that he would sit there and shake over his head and she would come off the field going.

Pamela Cass: 22:48

grandpa, I heard the cowbell like and you could just see the smile on her face and I was like are?

Garrett Frey: 22:53

you like are you embarrassed by the cowbell? And she goes it's grandpa. Like it's grandpa, so like that would be probably like a 10 tense moment of showing up for a child. In that way, I love it. We started to go like well, what about health, and what about your finances and what about your investments?

Garrett Frey: 23:13

And then you can take it all the way back to something as simple as a handwritten note, and I've asked a lot of people about this where they've been like, oh, I wrote a note. And I'll be like oh, tell me about a note you wrote, and so we'll start talking about that and I'll say, if you had to put it on a scale of one to 10, 10 being a note that absolutely changed somebody's life today because they got that note, they called you up and said that's exactly what I needed. I can't tell you how important that note was to me, how much that affected me, how much I needed it right now, to the other side of it, of happy birthday, with maybe my name signed underneath it, right, both handwritten notes, one would be a one tense because you actually did it, you showed up, and the other one would be a 10 tense note and I've had a lot of people grade their notes and you could hear them voice go.

Garrett Frey: 24:01

it's a three tense note, all right. And Matt, and my philosophy is nothing has to be at 10 tenths. It's like what is the levels we could go to? And it's okay if you're like you know what? That was a three tenths note, but tomorrow I'm going to make sure all my notes are at six tenths. I'm going to make sure we just raise that bar a little bit. And the other example that I'll use and I know I'm sitting here rambling, but I've been using my daughter, jocelyn, for we and we went and did a track day here a while back and we stole Sarah's car. That's not a good idea, by the way.

Garrett Frey: 24:32

She said we could use it, but there's been things wrong with the car ever since we did that. It's not worth it. Great car for the track though Minis. If you have a mini, take it to the track. But Jocelyn and I went down and it was a 10-10 stay. I will say that it was a 10-10 stay.

Garrett Frey: 24:48

Jocelyn and I went out and we had a riot together. It was a 10-10 in my relationship with my daughter. We drove the car probably at about 6-10 on the track, but when it came to the memories and the laughter and that we still talk about it today, she got so sick on about the fifth lap and they have cameramen in the corners that take pictures. So when you get back to the truck they'll like be like oh, look at your screen, here's you guys on this corner. We were joking about it later, and we still joke about it today, that we would have loved to have had one with her throwing up out the window while we were like on the track going, because it would have been a good picture. Dad, I'm like, oh, that would have been. It would have been a framing picture is what it would have been.

Natalie Davis: 25:31

We would frame it yes.

Garrett Frey: 25:34

That was a 10 tense afternoon. So this is the bigger philosophy of what we're building and it's going to be the podcast up front. That's what we are initially going to be building. We're going to have a free community that people can come and be a part of. We're also going to have a kind of VIP group. It's going to be like an elite group that if people want to be a part of, they can pay a one-time fee and always have access for lifetime, or they can do a monthly subscription to it, and there'll be tons of information as we build this out.

Garrett Frey: 26:02

By the time this airs it may not be fully up to that level yet, and then we're probably going to do some group coaching. And then Matt and I have sat back with the one-on-one coaching side and said you know what? Let's hold on to the people that we've been coaching and that we've had. I mean, I have people I've coached for 19 years now 18 years. I don't have it in my heart to be like, oh sorry, we're going. I love them. I love them with the bottom of my heart. So we're going to continue to coach those, our people. But I don't think we're going to like bring in anybody new right now. We're going to keep it just group coaching and this group and add a lot of really cool stuff into it, so yeah, that's what's going on right now.

Pamela Cass: 26:40

We are so excited and I love life at 10 tenths. I think that's absolutely perfect.

Natalie Davis: 26:48

You and Matt get it up and running. Just let us know, because we would love to have the two of you come back and join us and then we can let all of our listeners know where they can find you, what they can expect and get them up and running with that. That sounds like a great opportunity.

Garrett Frey: 27:02

It'll be fun and I know Matt would love to come on here and we can talk about that and go deeper into it, especially as we get it rolling, because we do want to do events and things like that. Those are things that we did not have access to before and we are all there might be driving, just so you know, natalie.

Natalie Davis: 27:17

Okay, I will explore it.

Garrett Frey: 27:20

I'm just going to say I have this feeling, Natalie, there's always a first, I have this thing that Natalie's like no, I'll be about the costumes, and I have a feeling if we got you on the track, do you remember the goofy cartoon where Mr Walker turned into Mr Wheeler? Okay, you got to go look it up if you get a chance. Mr Walker, he's got his little Pixies Daisy, he puts it in his hat and he's all like in a suit walking down the street and then he gets in the car and he turns into Mr Wheeler and fire comes in his eyes and he's got a little stamp that he puts on the side of the car for all the kids that he hits. Like it's a great Disney cartoon that is no longer allowed to be shown anymore. Exactly, you can still find it. I bet you you're Mrs Wheeler, is what you are.

Natalie Davis: 28:04

I'm Mr Wheeler, I have the opportunity, I have a sports adjacent type car. It's a sporty car and it's funny whenever, like sports cars pull up to me on the freeway and they like rev up and they want to race, and I always look and I'm like, seriously, I'm a mom, I'm not going to race with you.

Garrett Frey: 28:23

I know how it happens.

Pamela Cass: 28:24

And then you're like I do, I floor it, I put it in sports mode and I'm like, oh, let's go, and mine will be so smooth and I'll be like bye.

Natalie Davis: 28:33

We'll check it out.

Garrett Frey: 28:34

Definitely, that's the funny thing of living in Redding California there's not even a freeway. Somebody can pull up alongside you and want to race. You're just out by yourself. You're just racing yourself.

Pamela Cass: 28:44

That's all that matters. It's me Country, exactly.

Natalie Davis: 28:48

Oh my gosh. Well, garrett, this has been amazing. I'm so grateful that you have taken the time out to sit and chat with us and give us some insight. I mean, we've talked about family and relationships and career and profession and your own personal life, and here on the show we talk about overcoming adversity and facing some of our challenges and or changes and different chapters and seasons in our lives and finding ways to cope and thrive through those changes, and I think that you've shared quite a few. So I am so excited for our listeners to have the opportunity to hear from you.

Garrett Frey: 29:22

I appreciate you having me on and you to fall into a group of people that I have really built some incredible relationships with over the five years and I know a lot of us have had this moment of like something's coming to an end and it's been really amazing for me to watch everybody band together and the communication and the relationships come to be. And it's fun to watch, as we're taking this step, all of us into a new arena, how much you are all working together and the team that has been created with you all is absolutely amazing to me. So thank you for being part of my world and again, we got a lot of great sharing, a lot of great learning. That's going to go on for a while here, so I'm excited.

Pamela Cass: 30:06

Oh my gosh, I love it.

Natalie Davis: 30:07

I do as well. I'm looking forward to it and we're just going with the flow. I think that's the biggest piece is it's easier for those pieces to all fall into place when you're going in the right direction and there's not the challenge feeling like you're going against the grain, and you know we're always up for an adventure and we're a resilient group.

Garrett Frey: 30:25

Well, when, pam, you said earlier about our relationships that we have all over the United States and it's interesting to watch that come together as we're all building and growing is that the community that we have of people is absolutely amazing and that is like everything we've taught for so long and everything we're leaning into moving forward. If anybody wants to know a secret to success, it's people. It is who you know, it is the relationships that you build and it's up to you to go out there and build them and make incredible connections.

Pamela Cass: 30:54

I was just listening to a Simon Sinek video this morning and he talked about that. He goes great people always have great people around them and it's like that's what has happened here and I'm so grateful that you came into my life and I'm excited to see where this all takes us. It'd be amazing, exactly.

Garrett Frey: 31:14

I love it.

Natalie Davis: 31:15

Pamela Cass: 31:57

Garrett knows how competitive I am. I don't know if anybody wants me getting out on a track with anybody.

Natalie Davis: 32:01

She does, I'm not that competitive.

Pamela Cass: 32:05
