(Speaker 35)
You could be anywhere doing a lot of different things, but you chose to be here.

(Speaker 6)
Some shows don’t need a celebrity narrator to introduce the show. But this show does. In a world filled with endless opportunities, why would two men who have built 13 multi-million dollar businesses altruistically invest five hours per day to teach you the best practice business systems and moves that you can use. Because they believe in you and they have a lot of time on their hands.

(Speaker 6)
They started from the bottom, now they’re here. It’s the Thrive Time Show starring the former US Small Business Administration’s Entrepreneur of the Year, Clay Clark, and the entrepreneur trapped inside an optometrist’s body, Dr. Robert Zunich. Two men, eight kids, co-created by two different women, 13 multimillion dollar businesses.

(Speaker 16)
We started from the bottom, now we’re here.

(Speaker 13)
We started from the bottom, and we’ll show you how to get here. Started from the bottom, now we’re here. We started from the bottom, now we’re here. We started from the bottom, and we’ll show you how to get here. Started from the bottom, now we’re here.

(Speaker 34)
We started from the bottom, now we’re here.

(Speaker 13)
Please reply.

(Speaker 2)
We started from the bottom, and now we’re at the top. Teaching you the systems to get what we got. Colton Dixon’s on the hooks. I break down the books. The C’s bringing some wisdom and the good looks. Good rules, as the father of five, that’s why I’m alive. So if you see my wife and kids, please tell them hi. It’s the C and Z up on your radio. And now, three, two, one, here we go.

(Speaker 16)
We started from the bottom, now we’re here.

(Speaker 27)
We started from the bottom, and we’ll show you how to get here.

(Speaker 2)
Started from the bottom, now we’re here. Now, how many of you know who the 47th president of these United

(Speaker 33)
States is.

(Speaker 2)
How many of you are aware that the man who runs the Trump organization happens to be a man by the name of Eric Trump? How many of you know that? Now think about the profundity of this idea. Eric is 41 years old, but eight years ago, could you imagine being a 33-year-old man and your dad says, hey, by the way, I’m going to run for president. So you’re going to have to run an organization

(Speaker 2)
with 4,000 employees, billions of dollars of assets. Could you imagine handing over your business to a 33-year-old son? Could you imagine that? So it’s like, OK, step one, dad, go save the free world. Son, go run the business.

(Speaker 2)
And through the Reawaken America tour, I really gravitated towards Eric Trump because we keep a very similar schedule and we have a very similar philosophy which involves to-do lists, calendars, relentless follow-up, and he’s really become a friend. And I could not be more excited to introduce our next speaker.

(Speaker 2)
So Sean, hit the intro music. Everybody stand to your feet. All right, Sean, crank it up. And now, ladies and gentlemen, family and friends, without any further ado, we have got the husband of Laura Trump, an incredible father, a great American, my brother from another mother,

(Speaker 2)
and the son of the 47th President of these United States. I think he’s here. If he’s not, it’ll get very awkward. Ladies and gentlemen, please stand to your feet and greet the man with the plan, Eric Trump! Fresh from the State of the Union, Eric Trump is at the House of Jerusalem. There he is!

(Speaker 2)
He’s here! Yes! Eric, I’ll give you the hot mic. Here you go. Look at you!

(Speaker 1)
Guys, I was here, uh, when was I last here? Two months ago? Three months ago? None of this was built. This is incredible. The amount of work you did here is wild. And by the way, in typical Clay fashion, he sold every square inch of this place, right? So he’s a hell of a businessman. I’m very impressed. Clay. Well, we’re gonna do kind of a Q&A. So you guys grab a seat if

(Speaker 1)
you want here, we’ll do a little Q&A. And I told Eric, I said, Eric, I really wanted to have you come talk about business. And so we’re gonna try to tap into your brain. We’re going to try to tap into your brain during a 90-minute. We’ll do two 45-minute sessions, and then we’ll let you get back to saving the free world while running the company. So question number one. Question number one I have. What time do you typically wake up in a typical day as you’re running the Trump organization? About five every morning. Typically, I’m up at five, in the gym somewhere around six,

(Speaker 1)
work out for about an hour, grab as much protein as I can, eat it, and go over to the office. So that’s generally my morning. So then how does your day look? A typical day now, you’re 41 years old, you’re running the organization, you got kids,

(Speaker 1)
you got an incredible wife, you. What does it look like now? Yeah. You know, I think days morph over the years, right? I think schedules change. And I think that’s a positive and maybe a negative in certain ways. I’m a person who actually believes in great consistency. I try.

(Speaker 1)
But I was on a campaign trail for six months. So now for the first time, it’s kind of nice to come home and take your kids to school once in a while, right? I mean, that’s important. You got to get a little bit of family time in there. And before kids, I was in probably the office a lot earlier than I ever was. And now you try and give back to them a little bit, especially when for the first five and seven years of their life, respectively, that’s probably a way a lot more than I think you’d want as a parent. And I think that’s something that every parent

(Speaker 1)
probably grapples with. It’s how can you be successful here? How can you be successful here? How can you give them time? And how can you give your company time? And in my case, thousands of employees that we have all over the world. And I always lived in almost a state of guilt, which was if I was with my kids, I was away from our team. If I was with my team, I was away from the kids. And that’s probably something that everybody in here balances in some way, shape or form. But I do, I try and make the time to take the kids to school and hold my son’s hand on the way there. And it might be 10 minutes to take him, 15 minutes to take him, but I think that means a lot.

(Speaker 1)
And so if I get to the office at 8.30, that’s typically why, because I’m typically trying to spend a couple minutes with them, but family’s super important and you know oftentimes that jives with with small business and just business in general It really does it’s there’s only so many hours in a day It’s impossible to be everywhere and everything to every person As probably things that the people in here struggle with most

(Speaker 2)
Now your dad my understanding is I don’t butcher the story But I leave your dad still messes with you by calling you sometimes like at 5 a.m. or pre 5 a.m. just to see if you’re awake. Is this, walk us through, what is that like having Donald J. Trump as your father?

(Speaker 1)
Well, it got really bad, right, for a while, because there was like a cold war in our family, and he would do that, he? Yeah, I’m awake. And then that same night, it’d be like 1130 and you call up, hey, are you awake? And I’m like, yeah, I’m awake, right? And so a couple of weeks later, he’s doing this almost every day just to test me. And a couple of weeks later, I was dead asleep and I pick up. He’s like, you’re not awake. You’re not awake. I’m like, you’re right. You caught me sleeping. I’m sorry. It’s 1145 at night. I wake up at five. No, he’s remarkable. He’s a guy who’s always operated on very little sleep. I’m actually a guy who

(Speaker 1)
believes in sleep. There are days where you just don’t get enough sleep and you drag and you’re not nearly as motivated and you’re not nearly as productive. Right. We all have those days, but he’s always been a guy who could just run at a thousand miles an hour on, on, on no sleep. I mean, I’ll never forget the last night of the campaign coming back. Our last stop was in, uh, in Michigan. I mean, literally, we landed at five o’clock in the morning, right.

(Speaker 1)
And there was no sleeping the entire time, right. It was Guns N’ Roses was on the TV, right? Like music video, November rain, I’ll never forget it. So you’ve got Stephanie Seymour and Slash and you’ve got this whole thing. The music’s blasting, you’re coming back. No one slept for like 72 hours and he’s just going strong. And it’s amazing. Certain people have that kind of genetic. This guy has those genes. This guy never fricking stops. I mean, he never stops. But you know, a lot of that I think comes out of love and passion for whatever you’re doing.

(Speaker 1)
I think if you ultimately like what you’re doing, you’re going to be fired up and you’re going to run hard. And if you can’t stand what you’re doing, you’re probably going to be unmotivated and you’re probably not going to run hard, right? And that’s probably a good lesson as to, you know, And I run at them now a couple things that I really and I this isn’t like an infomercial for eric trump This is just real. It’s real conversations my wife and I how did you meet someone for the first time and use a couple?

(Speaker 1)
Talk about it afterwards you go, you know, what was that? We’re having dinner with you and general flint first time We’d had a meal together and you said hey guys a big deal about it. And then you came back and I didn’t ask you who you were calling and you’re like, Hey, I’m sorry I had to get up there. I just went checking with the wife and kids. Then General Flynn was like, what were you just doing? And you go, well, every night, you know, I call my wife and my kids no matter where in

(Speaker 1)
the world I am. your routine because I was moved by you didn’t mention why you were getting up. General Flynn was asking what was happening there.

(Speaker 2)
Could you walk us through that daily routine?

(Speaker 1)
Most of my life, I’ve been on the road 200 days a year. I actually feel like the last six weeks coming off campaign, I’ve actually been the most sedentary I’ve ever been, which is nice. You’re trying to get back to the normal. But typically, my average year is 200-, 210 days on a plane. And if you multiply that, I mean, today I’m doing four flights.

(Speaker 1)
So you multiply that across a year on a busy year. And so many of my projects for our company, all over the world, I’m heading to all over Europe next week and back to the Middle East in a couple of weeks. And so we’re all over the place. But I mean, I grew up,

(Speaker 1)
I’m getting to the answer to your question. This is the weave, right? The weave.

(Speaker 10)
The weave.

(Speaker 1)
But what ends up happening is you’re away from home a decent amount. You end up using FaceTime as a way to connect with your kids, right? It’s awfully nice when the last thing that you can see before they go to bed is your face,

(Speaker 1)
and they can call you in the morning. And it’s a great kind of connector. technologies, because I think they perverse and pervert the world. FaceTime is actually, if somebody is busy, Facebook Time is a great way to actually see your children in a way that you’re present with them in a way that they probably understand in this age while during a time when you otherwise wouldn’t be present. Go back 20 years ago when you had to call 1-800-COLLECT.

(Speaker 1)
This would not have worked, and that’s actually a benefit. But we came up with a thing. We start saying prayers every single night with our kids. We’d always say the Pledge of Allegiance first. And then we did three little prayers, two of which I said as a kid.

(Speaker 1)
Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray to the Lord my soul to keep. So we do that one. daughter loves. There are four corners. She calls it the four corners prayer, but there are four corners on my bed, four inches overhead, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. God bless this bed that I lay on. So my daughter loves that. And then they do the Lord’s Prayer. And honestly, it’s been an amazing thing. And then last but not least, and as they’ve gotten older, I’ve incorporated this, I always ask them, what’s one nice thing that you’ve done for somebody today? And what’s one nice thing that somebody’s done for you today? I asked my son and I asked my daughter that.

(Speaker 1)
And it’s really interesting to see their kind of answers develop over time. But it’s been an amazing transformation for them. I mean, first of all, if you just look at the Lord’s prayer, it’s not like an easy thing to get through when you’re two years old.

(Speaker 1)
So I think, you know, from a kind of amazing for both kids. Second of all, we have never had a problem with our kids sleeping. It’s like, we do the Pledge of Allegiance, we do the prayers, and that is their instinct of light switch, that it’s game over. They’re down, they’re going to bed. There’s no more fun and games.

(Speaker 1)
And so in a certain way, there’s almost this psychological discipline that’s been created at night. And we always do this, you know, typically 8.45 every night. And you’re right, you’re with me that one night and, you know, Laura called up or I’ll call her and, you know, let’s do prayers quickly. Sometimes it’s an abbreviated version,

(Speaker 1)
but it’s one of the greatest things that I found with my kids and with Laura in terms of trying to keep us together in a world that sometimes

(Speaker 2)
is not always easy to be together. There’s a print piece I put up over there by my desk and it says, I have not approved this message, but I might after I’ve looked at it, Eric Trump, because that to me is what you would say. You’re a very high standards guy. You have very high standards,

(Speaker 2)
but you’re also a very compassionate guy. I just want to tell you my little Eric story. I met you at one of the golf courses there where you live. And your valet gentleman, he parks the car and he was anticipating us being there. He said, hey, Mr. Trump’s looking forward to meeting you.

(Speaker 2)
And I’m thinking, that’s interesting. You’re communicating. I grab a seat, the waitress, very nice lady. She says, hey, Mr. And I’m going, you have 6,000 employees. How long can this game continue? So throughout the meal, everyone, you’re like, you know, Hey Carl, Hey Sarah, Hey, whatever. You knew everyone’s name. And I’m thinking that’s wild. But you’re also the guy who’s

(Speaker 2)
fastidious about the bushes being cut immaculately, the light bulbs being perfect, everything. How do you balance that follow up where you’re following up with the employees over some tedious, high expectation things, but yet you still have that rapport?

(Speaker 1)
To me, that is awesome. Well, it’s kind of why we never want to be Marriott. I never want to be a Hilton. I never want to be one of these big companies. Because you simply can’t have control of, not even control, but you can’t have those interpersonal relationships. And if you look at our company, the average tenure, if you haven’t been in our company for 20 years,

(Speaker 1)
you’re literally, you’re like a newbie, right? Once you come into our organization, you just never leave. And I think that’s a beautiful thing, but it’s unlike so many of the Fortune 500s. And everybody says that they’ve got great corporate cultures, they all write these pamphlets about it. We don’t have any pamphlets about corporate culture. We just truly love the people that work in the company and they love us. I mean, we went through the hell of politics for a 10-year period,

(Speaker 1)
and I don’t think I lost a single person. They’re in there fighting every day. You look at the political apparatus where every single day, somebody is coming out with a tell-all book. We didn’t have any of those in our company. And it was just a beautiful thing. But it’s because we know everybody. They were born in the company.

(Speaker 1)
They typically work their way up. We hardly ever promote from outside. And I know that’s so contradictory to so many businesses. But we’ll give somebody the opportunity who’s three tiers down that ladder, over the person who’s

(Speaker 1)
the greatest general manager from the Ritz-Carlton, because the young person will sit there and they will fight and they will work and they’re appreciative of the opportunity and they want to grow. If all of a sudden you’ve got this organization where every single time a new job opportunity comes up, somebody from the outside who’s never worked for the company, who’s never

(Speaker 1)
spilled that blood, shit, and tears, who have never put in the hours, who have never tried to go the extra yard, if every single time they’re usurped for a person from the outside that doesn’t have that camaraderie, you grow a lot of disgruntled people, and they end up leaving because they realize that their timeframe is short or they’ll never get to ultimately where they want. It actually creates greater turnover. So many of the people in the company, you ask, how do you know them all? I know them all because they’ve all been with the company for 10, 15, 20 years. They’ve all grown from

(Speaker 1)
so oftentimes a maitre d’ or a hostess in a restaurant to food and beverage manager to clubhouse manager to assistant general manager to general manager. We have drivers in the company. People that used to literally drive us to school, drive my father around New York who are in charge of some of the biggest buildings in the world. I’ll give you an example, Trump Las Vegas, there’s a guy named Brian Boudreaux. He literally, when I was six years old, used to take me to school.

(Speaker 1)
He’d drive my father around and we started building this project and we needed somebody to bring architects out to Las Vegas. Guess what? This guy always had his hand up. You know what, I’ll take them out there. You know, Brian, you sure? Yeah, sure, I’ll go. I know where the site is.

(Speaker 1)
I’ll tour them around the site. No problem. I’ll take great care of them. I’ll make sure they have a great time. You know, two weeks later, he’s taking the bankers. He always had his hand up. And, hey, you need to go find contractors to build this thing? Oh, I’ll go line up all the best contractors.

(Speaker 1)
No problem. I’ll show them the site. I’ve already been in touch with the architects and how to put all the pieces together. They just always had their hand up. And so long story short, we built that building.

(Speaker 1)
Brian Boudreau started as a driver. No college education. On paper, everybody, any Fortune 500 company would have overlooked him. He had street smarts, he had drive, he just never, ever stopped. People loved him. He finished the building ahead of schedule, ahead of budget.

(Speaker 1)
And I’ll never forget, it was the one time, and it’s one of the reasons I use that analogy about bringing in the person from Ritz-Carlton, but it’s the one time that we brought in a general manager from the outside world The person lasted about three months and it just wasn’t working They just weren’t you know, the pocket square and it just it wasn’t working. They weren’t fast enough. They weren’t responsive enough They they didn’t have that grit. They didn’t have that fortitude and Brian put his hand back up. He goes listen. I know nothing about running a hotel. I’ve never done it

(Speaker 1)
But I guarantee you I’ll figure it out. Let me handle this. I’ll take care of it.” And sure enough, Brian became general manager. And here we are 15 years later, and he’s still managing the hotel. And it’s one of the most successful projects in Vegas. So if there’s ever, and we do that across the board. But I mean, there’s two lessons there.

(Speaker 1)
Always ask. Always have your hand up. And so long as you’re willing to work, forget about the resumes on paper. I can’t tell you how many great resumes we see on paper, where the people ultimately absolutely let you down. You know, it’s easier to make something look great on, you know, black and white. That’s very different than character and grit and work ethic and street smarts probably

(Speaker 1)
more than anything. It’s a big part of our company.

(Speaker 2)
Now, again, this is not an Eric Trump infomercial. It’s just real. Right. You know how I am. I’m sort of irreverent. I just say what’s on my cranium here. But as I was researching you and how quickly you’ve expanded the Trump organization since you took over at the age of what 33 ish. And I was thinking to myself, like, you know, Eric, you’re, you’re 40 years old. That’s about the time your dad wrote the art of the deal. I remember reading the art of the deal.

(Speaker 2)
And I remember reading the book going, he wrote this when he’s 41 years old. And so as you’re, you know, working on your book and the whole thing, I am, I’m just so excited for people to learn about these stories that are in this book. And it’s just so exciting. was you and your dad are driving in the car and your dad’s like, that is a hell of a wall. That’s a great wall, Eric, or something. He’s like, can we, we got to pull over and go look at this wall.

(Speaker 2)
And can you tell everybody this story because I’m reading this manuscript for this upcoming book and I’m going, Eric and his dad are excited about the guy who builds the wall. I too am excited about the guy who builds the wall. Tell us about the guy who built the wall. This is such a great story.

(Speaker 1)
So I was nine or 10 years old. We were driving in Westchester, New York, and there was this guy, there was kind of a lone stone mason. This guy’s name is Frank Sanzo on the side of the road. And I’ll never forget, he looks at me, he goes,

(Speaker 1)
that’s the most incredible stone wall I’ve ever seen. This is kind of like East Coast, hard granite stone, tough stuff to work with. It doesn’t break very easily, right? But it’s beautiful. And he pulls over and he starts talking to the guy and they start talking about, obviously the wall where he came from, he came from Italy, he came over as a really young boy,

(Speaker 1)
came over with nothing in his pocket and it just became a great stone mason effectively. And they start talking about whether or not you want dry pack walls, or you want wet pack walls, or whether or not you want wet mortar or dry mortar, how he cuts the stones, what is that? They speak for 45 minutes. And he goes, at the end of this, he goes, you got to come work for me. I want to give you all my business, but you got to come work for us.

(Speaker 1)
And so I started working at 11. I started working under Frank Sanzo on job sites. This guy was truly, truly incredible. And this guy ended up building the vast amount of properties that we have. A big part of his soul is in all those properties. And he really became family to us. He became a second father to me. I grew up on construction sites with him. But those are the opportunities. This is a guy who literally pulls over to see the lone stonemason. And what’s really amazing is, I’m

(Speaker 1)
not sure Frank at the time really understood his true talent. So not only did he kind of come work for an organization that kind of pushed that talent, but I actually think my father built up his personality. Frank, you’re the best.

(Speaker 1)
This guy is the greatest ston mason I’ve ever seen.” He would hear that over and over and over and actually made him believe in himself because he went from building residential stone walls, nice kind of homestone walls to building some of the greatest patios, some of the greatest really icons in the hotel world and so many other things. I’m not sure if he didn’t have that kind of encouragement, if somebody wasn’t sitting there being almost a cheerleader for him, if he would have ever actually developed the

(Speaker 1)
true skill that he ended up with 20 years later. And this guy, he was amazing. I mean, I remember we had a pool at Trump Doral, and he’s been to Doral, but it had this massive waterfall. It was a little gaudy, right? We bought the hotel, we had to put a lot of money into it. And no one was willing to take down this waterfall. It was a solid piece of concrete that cantilevered over the pool.

(Speaker 1)
And you’re trying, like, how do you get that out of there without small cuts, a crane to take out a piece? And every bid was coming back. It was either astronomical or they’re coming back saying, it’s not possible. Like, you’re just going to destroy everything

(Speaker 1)
around the pool.

(Speaker 2)
And I’ll never forget, Frank goes, I’ll take care of it. And I literally left. And he had a backhoe, like a big excavator with a stone hammer on it. And he is hitting this pool. And I’m sitting there. And he’s smoking two Marlboro Reds. My lungs are still polluted from this grab.

(Speaker 2)
I mean, literally, my lungs still ache from Frank Sanz’s Marlboro Red. He’s got this pot of coffee, this track, it’s on tracks, right? But it’s literally off of one track, the thing’s bouncing all around. We’re sitting there saying, first of all, the pool deck is done, right? It’s not gonna be salvageable.

(Speaker 2)
Second of all, there’s no way the pools go hold water because he’s gonna drop about 50 tons of concrete right into the bottom of the pool. All the piping is gonna be busted, right? And there’s a good chance that Frank Sanzo at the time. We come back a couple hours later and sure enough, the biggest piece of concrete, cantilevered over this thing you’ve ever seen, it’s in the bottom of the pool. Don’t get

(Speaker 2)
me wrong, the pool is half the story, but he got a job done that no one else was willing to do. And that was just, again, it spoke to grit and tenacity. But so many people in the company are grown that way. Again, guy on the side of the road. Wow. Amazing stone wall. You know, you see the talent. He always had the ability to see talent in people and then actually take that talent and almost make them better, um, by kind of reassuring them and building up their own confidence. And I always thought that was an amazing trade.

(Speaker 2)
Now one thing that I’ve noticed about, I just, there’s principles that we’re distilling here, but one is you don’t read resumes. There’s somebody out here, people always ask me, Clay, how can you read resumes and know who’s the best fit? Again, look it up, Sean, pull it up on the screen. Inc. Magazine now says that 85% of job candidates admit to just making up what’s on their resume. So I would just say, free yourself from the jackassery,

(Speaker 2)
interview people, and then just see what they can do and promote from within. Just free yourself from the jackass, where you stop reading resumes. The second thing I noticed is that you’re very kind to people, but you have a high expectation. You’re kind, but you have a high expectation. That’s a principle I’ve witnessed. Third thing I’ve noticed is you follow up constantly.

(Speaker 2)
As an example, for Laura’s birthday, I think she was turning 25 again, and you had lowered your standards and you invited me. And so I’m here and I’m kind of going, I don’t know anybody here. I know Eric, that’ll be my wingman. I’ll find him, we’ll be fine here.

(Speaker 2)
My wife and I are there and it was a great event. Wonderful people were there, unbelievable first class accommodations. Everything was great. But then the next morning, five, probably 10 a.m. I get a text. It’s you texting saying, how was it? And I’m going, I didn’t text myself, did I?

(Speaker 2)
Because I normally text people at 4 in the morning, 5. I’m like, self, did I text myself to ask myself how the party was? No, it’s Eric Trump. So I call you and I’m going, hey, brother. And you’re going, was it good? Did you have a good time? Did your wife meet some people with your combinations? Okay, was you guys have fun?

(Speaker 2)
I’m going that level of follow up is awesome. It’s just this obsession with making. Could you talk about that mindset that you and your dad both have? Because it is so prevalent just to follow up, the follow up of making sure that

(Speaker 2)
even a guest at a birthday party has a great time. Where’s your wife, by the way? She is, was my wife, is she hiding somewhere? James, call my wife. She’s probably here hiding somewhere.

(Speaker 1)
How he landed her is like beyond me, right? I still. Isn’t Vanessa the absolute greatest? She’s the absolute greatest. You know, honestly, I actually think followup is almost one of the hardest things for me. I get bombarded. Every single person here does.

(Speaker 1)
This is not a problem unique to me, but every single one of us gets thousands of text messages. We get thousands of emails, half of it spam, half of it junk. Three quarters time if you’re a business, is somebody asking you for a favor, which they probably wouldn’t pay back to you. If you deal with this every single day. And, you know, and I think given how many different medians there are of social media now, then you’ve got people asking you for things on Twitter and Instagram and Facebook.

(Speaker 1)
And then you have Signal and you have WhatsApp and you have all the different chats. And then you’ve got Facebook Messenger. And it’s almost become so dilutive to time that I actually… I think one of the hardest things in modern day life is actually trying to keep up and be responsive, all because you no longer, back in the day, okay, you could call somebody, and that was the expectation, you’d call,

(Speaker 1)
but now there’s 50 different forms of getting in touch with people. Like, are you on WhatsApp or are you not? Is that how you, are you communicating as a high school friend through Facebook or not? Do I have to go check nine of these things every single day? Oh, people are living an incredibly busy life of which they can hardly keep up with

(Speaker 1)
to begin with. But I think for people that matter, I think at the end of the day, it comes down to not that everybody doesn’t matter, but you’ve got to prioritize what’s important to you. I’m actually a very big list person. I start every day with a very big list. And half the days, I think you end up getting frustrated because the list grows longer than the things that you’re actually able to accomplish. But what I always do is I always take an arrow and I always put objects at the top of the list

(Speaker 1)
that actually matter to me. So the first things you get to are the things that ultimately either influence your life or what you want to accomplish, or the things that are ultimately important to your company, those rise to the top. And the stuff that slides down, well, guess what? It’s just less relevant, less important.

(Speaker 1)
And that’s okay, as long as you’re taking care of the things that, again, are really kind of accretive to your lifestyle, accretive to your company, accretive to your family, accretive to whatever you’re trying to accomplish. And so I really do think that… Listen, you’ve got a nominal amount of time in a day. You’ve got 24 hours. You know, you could sit there and you could check every single median to every single of the thousand text messages you have. And guess what? You’re not going to see your kids.

(Speaker 1)
You’re not going to see your wife. You’re probably going to get divorced because of it. There’s, there’s, there’s gotta be some level of, of balance in terms of being responsive to, And finding that balance is tricky because no one wants to insult people. No one wants to not be that person for every single person. But at the same time, you have responsibilities in your own life.

(Speaker 1)
And I try and get to the people who I love the most, the first.

(Speaker 2)
Is Dr. Zellner here? Dr. Zellner, are you here? Dr. Z, is he here? Dr. Z? One of the things, he’s here somewhere, he’s lurking. Dr. Z has been a big mentor in my life.

(Speaker 2)
And one of the things he told me, he said, “‘Clay, don’t overestimate people’s curiosity. “‘Like don’t take 30 minutes to explain I’ve tried to do is respect your time as we’ve gotten to know each other. And I think you have this balance that you have figured out where you’ve probably watched your father, you’ve seen. Your dad, you’re not building Legos with your dad, but you’re actually building buildings with your dad at a young age, like your dad.

(Speaker 2)
You know, you weren’t probably, you know, your dad wasn’t at your basketball games, but yet you’re playing video games with Michael Jackson while your dad’s talking about building a building. And could you maybe just talk about the Trump experience of just being raised?

(Speaker 1)
Like, what was that like having him as your dad? Is this how much time you have? Yeah, I mean, listen, I say this kind of tongue in cheek, but not really. I mean, it was less the wiffle ball in the backyard. But I was flying with Michael Jackson to a, and don’t go there, people out there, you sick, twisted human beings.

(Speaker 1)
But he’d be performing at the casinos, and you’d be flying down with Mike Tyson, with Don King, with Michael Jackson, with all these very cool people. So in a certain way, you’d be walking through a casino and it might be all business, but you’re a very, very small young part of this kind of entourage. And so,

(Speaker 1)
for me, there was less Whistleball, but there was much more of that. You go to a 70-story building that’s coming out of the ground in New York City. There’s guys walking on I-beams 20 floors above your head, concretes being poured, rebars being put down. And you’re walking through these job sites as a little kid just looking out, no windows, no anything, just looking out over the skyline of New York.

(Speaker 1)
I wouldn’t trade any of those memories for the other. And I understand how trade any of those memories for the other. And I understand how important the other is. I try and play pig with my… Does everybody know what pig is? I try and do that every night with my kids, with my son before he goes to bed. It’s a little basketball game. It’s like if you make a shot and he doesn’t, you get a letter and whoever spells pig first. That stuff, don’t get me wrong, is super important, but it was very unconventional for me. I mean, so many of the unique experiences I had in my life were in just situations that couldn’t be

(Speaker 1)
duplicated. And I put almost more emphasis in my life on those situations than some of the conventional, knowing that this was a guy that ran 24 hours a day, seven days a week. He wasn’t screwing off. He wasn’t taking vacations. This is a guy who was literally never taken a vacation in his life. He was working really hard. And those, those times you had together actually made it almost more special. Um, you know, then, then kind of the ordinary.

(Speaker 2)
Now, this is a question I have for you. I want to share a little story. You know, one thing, uh, this just in, for those of you who aren’t aware, I represent the far right regions of Christianity, okay? So I’m like a very literal Bible guy and you joined the Reawaken tour and you were open to, we had Dr. Rashid Batar on the stage who was Muslim,

(Speaker 2)
you had Dr. Zalinko who’s Jewish, your brother-in-law is obviously Jewish. You now have an international company all over the world, all different faiths, all different backgrounds. What is your approach to dealing with all the different faiths, all the different backgrounds? Because I am like this unapologetic Christian guy,

(Speaker 2)
but I see you get along with people that have different faiths and different backgrounds, and your organization is all over the world. What is your approach to just in the workplace, dealing with different faiths, different worldviews, how do you approach that?

(Speaker 1)
That’s very simple, I like good people. You know, for me, it’s, clearly I’m a Christian. I just told you about the prayers I say every night, but I can’t tell you how many, you know, great Jewish people we have in our organization, great Muslims we have in our organization,

(Speaker 1)
great Christians, great, you know, great atheists, I just care about good people. I like people with heart and soul. I like people who truly care. And you can flush that out in a person very, very quickly. To me, it doesn’t make any difference whatsoever. In life, I believe in happiness in society. At the end of the day, it’s kind of my guiding force. And that’s the political view of mine,

(Speaker 1)
but that’s also just probably a moral view and maybe a religious view. If people are happy in society, you’ve got a great society. And at the end of the day, I think we should tailor our actions toward happiness. And how do you have happiness?

(Speaker 1)
Well, you have a great job, you have a great work environment, you have a great government, you get great education, you’re safe. All those things determine happiness in society. And I think that’s actually what wins the day for me. If you’re a good person, if you’re happy,

(Speaker 1)
if you can work hard, none of the other things matter to me. Why should I care how you go home and pray if it’s meaningful to you? And so I literally don’t think about that question. I’m not sure if I’ve ever thought about that question. And again, this is coming from a guy who’s

(Speaker 1)
clearly a good Christian. And so I just, uh, I like good people. I like

(Speaker 2)
very good people. Now, uh, when I was on the, this is true story. We were in Oregon together and they’ve been in Oregon. We, uh, you were there in Oregon and, uh, we rented a venue and the venue canceled cause it was too political or something. Then another venue canceled. So we had to rent a parking lot and then put a tent. It was like a $600,000 semi-permanent structure we had to erect outside. Vanessa couldn’t come to this one.

(Speaker 2)
There’s Vanessa. She couldn’t come. So I found myself basically alone in Oregon with our team, but my wife wasn’t there and she’s kind of my security blanket. So I’m going, I don’t know what’s happened. Then Antifa showed up. They shut down the local Target in protest.

(Speaker 2)
They gave kids the day off at college in protest. They shut down the phone stores. And I just remember thinking, this is a, they closed all the shopping centers. I’m going, this is wild. And so I’m talking to you backstage and you’re like,

(Speaker 2)
you know, so I flew commercial, I flew in. And again, the people around me are going, he flies commercial? I mean, what’s it like to be the son of the man who’s trying to save the free world, knowing that maybe 45% of the people on the plane don’t agree with you or whatever that is?

(Speaker 2)
Because you’re just so used to being in that, you were a very calming, steadying voice to a lot of the speakers behind the stage, telling them, guys, this will be fine. Don’t worry about Antifa, we’ll be fine. But what’s it like just living through that every day?

(Speaker 1)
Well, by the way, go back a little bit. Clay calls me about three days before. He goes, yeah, we’re going to have Antifa all over this event. Are you sure you want to come? We love the men and women of the Secret Service of the greatest. They would not have been thrilled about this event. Literally, Antifa was trying to march. This was in Portland, right?

(Speaker 1)
Let’s put this in perspective. This was in Portland in the height of the madness. And I go, Clay, I told you I was going to be there. I’m going to be there. And so anyway, they started leaving little spike strips, remember, in the parking lot, a couple of punctured tires, a couple of other things. But I finished up the speech, it was unbelievable. I mean, when you go to a very blue district that gets no attention paid to them, you wouldn’t

(Speaker 1)
believe the love that comes out. I know that sounds… It’s like they had never seen a Republican come through Portland before and literally the masses showed up. This tent was overflowing. It was such an amazing event. Anyway, people

(Speaker 1)
loved it. People had the greatest time. I had an hour to kill before the flight. So we go to this little restaurant. I’ll never forget. It was this German bratwurst place. It was funny. And he has this great security guy that would always take me to and from the airport named Jay. And Jay was at Special Forces. And Jay’s sitting there looking, he goes, yeah, these people are surrounding this little German sausage place. And he goes, we better get the hell out of here. I go, Jay, we’re going to finish our bratwurst

(Speaker 1)
or whatever the hell we were eating that night. And he goes, no, no, we really need to get out of here. I’m like, I don’t care if we have to personally fight off every one of these. I won’t say it because and torn our shirts get, but we are not leaving this damn place. I’m not succumbing to the freaking Antifa people in Portland. By the way, I think a little bit of that to me was, if you say you’re going to do something,

(Speaker 1)
do it. In life, if you say you’re going to do something, do it. I think three quarters of the speakers bailed from that event because of it was happening and it wasn’t it wasn’t perfect. But hey, we had a great you and I had a great time.

(Speaker 2)
Now, the other I mean, there’s been a few emotional moments that we had there. And I’ll bring my wife up here. But I was on the phone with you and your dad was given this little talk in Butler. And I’m on the phone with you, and we’re talking, and I’m driving to Grand Lake, and I’m on the phone with you, and then you go, what the? And then the phone dropped, and I could tell the phone was still on, and I’m going, uh,

(Speaker 2)
and I have no idea what’s going on. And out of respect, I just hung up. My wife sends me a text and said, someone just shot Eric’s dad. And I remember, I just pulled over, James, you were in the car with me. So I pulled over in my van

(Speaker 2)
and I just couldn’t stop weeping. Cause I was, I mean, I felt like I was there with you. I’m on the phone, next thing you know, I hear you go, what the? And you put the phone down and then I hang up. My wife texts me, says, you know, President Trump’s been shot and Eric’s dad’s been shot.

(Speaker 2)
And I’m just like, I don’t know what to do with these emotions. So I pulled over and I just told James I like to cry alone. That’s my move. Like a cat dies alone in the woods. I like to. So I pulled over and I was just like, dear Jesus, please be with President Trump right now. I didn’t know he was alive. I didn’t know about The victory that the painting right there of that moment. I didn’t know about that. All I knew is that you’re my friend and

(Speaker 2)
I was just going please be with my friend I probably should have been praying for your dad more about praying for you because I knew you Could you talk about that moment and what that was like watching that? Because I was just praying with you. Everything was in me. And I’ll let Nesk ask you a follow-up question there.

(Speaker 1)
Yeah, I remember. I was in New York. I had my kids in my lap. We were watching it. I was actually working on an email, and I was talking to this guy.

(Speaker 1)
And I grew up doing a lot of competitive shooting. That was always my thing, right? A lot of long range rifle, a lot of competitive shotgun, and a lot of other things. I understand the sound of gunfire, right? It’s kind of something I know very well. And so it came as a, you know, let me actually rephrase this. I’m not sure if it came as a shock, because about three weeks before, I was on Fox News.

(Speaker 1)
And I said, they’ve tried everything life. I’ve sat in a courthouse with him every single day for, I don’t know, seven weeks, but really going in and out of courtrooms every single day as they tried to wage illegal law fair stuff on him. And I actually said to Sean Hannity that night, I go, I wouldn’t be surprised that they tried to kill him. And I’ll never forget. And Kim, who’s kind of… Where’s Kim? She’s the greatest over here. She’ll remember the incoming that she got in the company. Eric says that they’re going to try and kill him. And I go, honestly, it’d be the least shocking thing that I’d… They had tried everything else to take him out of the race. They’d gone after him. They had smeared him. They had lied. They’d made up the Russia hoax. They had taken him off of the ballot in Maine, Colorado. They had done everything

(Speaker 1)
they could. They tried to subpoena us into oblivion. They tried to literally bankrupt our company. And I said that that day, I go, it’d be the least surprising thing if they tried to whack him. And that’s exactly what ended up happening. And it’s deeply personal. A lot of people on that stage are people that are very, very close to me. Aside from my father, you see a guy that has blood running down his face. Coming out of the competitive rifle world, 120-yard shot, that’s a chip shot. A lot of people in this room will do that with a pistol. You’re sitting there saying, how lucky did he actually get?

(Speaker 1)
We lost Corey that day. In fact, his wife and his two daughters were sitting next to me at the State of the Union two nights ago. We’ve gotten to know them very well. You know, at the same time, it was a moment that I do believe that God was there. You know, the flag, right? And I’m not I’m not really a sappy person.

(Speaker 1)
I’m kind of like over the sap in life. But, you know, the flag folded up looking like a perfect angel about three minutes before right above his head. You know, that doesn’t this’t just normally happen, right? This big, big, massive flag the size of this room that was hung between, you know, two fire trucks and their ladders. And there was a lot of a lot of interesting little, little signs that day.

(Speaker 1)
But no, there’s no question he was kept on this earth for for the purpose that he’s in right now. Right. I think there’s a lot of people in here who would agree. But, uh, crazy. You know, it’s really amazing talking about always being there. I think I was the first person that spoke to him. I spoke to him, you know, literally in the hospital, like, you know, seven minutes later, they got him there very quickly.

(Speaker 1)
But the last thing he said to me after cracking, actually, like, surprisingly, like a couple like mild jokes, right? Because he was just trying to do anything that he could to defray how uncomfortable this whole situation was. But he goes, nothing changes. We’re going to Milwaukee exactly when we said we were going. We’re not changing the time whatsoever. Listen, you’re in the hospital. You just got shot, right? And you’re really talking about going to the convention the day

(Speaker 1)
before the convention even started. Remember, conventions are like four days long. And it kind of builds up to the final day. And exactly 48 hours after that incident, exactly 48 hours, on the very first day of the convention, at about 5, 536 o’clock at night, I was the guy from the state of Florida

(Speaker 1)
who was the delegate who ended up making him the Republican nominee for president of the United States. So when you look at the pendulum of life, it’s like you’ve got these highs, you’ve got these lows, and it’s amazing sometimes how fast they come. Oftentimes you think the highs and lows are spread out over years. And honestly, I think that was a great example that they’re oftentimes not. You had the worst low followed by almost the greatest high, if you can think about it,

(Speaker 1)
because it’s like they didn’t get him. And now we’re going to get you. We’re going to win. We’re going to get you guys.

(Speaker 2)
Now, one thing I want to let my wife ask you, by the way, you asked, where’s my wife? There she is.

(Speaker 1)
That’s my wife? There she is. That’s my wife. Did you hear what I said before? I said the fact that he landed you is beyond shocking to me.

(Speaker 4)
He’s wonderful. He’s wonderful.

(Speaker 2)
He’s great. Now, I will say this. As far as adults that I pray for, I pray for you. I pray for all my clients I work with. What I do is I’m driving to my car. Ephesians chapter 1 verse 16 through 18, but that God, supposed to pray without ceasing, that God would give you wisdom, revelation, knowledge, and understanding.

(Speaker 2)
And I really obsessively pray for you, and I pray for my wife, and I probably should express my feelings more, explain that I, but I’m like really obsessed that Jesus works a big work in your life, because you are, you’re your father’s cupbearer.

(Speaker 2)
I mean, you run the organization. And I know my wife shares that same. We pray for you all the time. And so, as much, you know, before my wife begins asking you a passive aggressive attacking questions, we pray for you.

(Speaker 32)
I’m just kidding, but here you go.

(Speaker 4)
No, I don’t even know what I’m asking. I just want to say that we appreciate you guys. You know, when I look at earlier today, I know Clay randomly called me up. I wasn’t expecting it. And I just want to say that, you know, Clay and I could have never imagined to be in a position where we’re even speaking to, you know,

(Speaker 4)
you, the president’s son. And somehow as small business coaches in Tulsa, Oklahoma, we were thrust into this position. And I’m very, very, very thankful for it. And I know that God has his hand on you, on Laura, on Vanessa, on Don Jr., on Ivanka, on Jared, on Melania, and on your dad. And it’s to fulfill the

(Speaker 4)
plans and purposes that God has. And that’s it’s I was just listening to Clay say that he prays for you, but you don’t understand what a miracle that is Because this is the same guy who when our son was born blind banned me from praying

(Speaker 31)
Because he thought I was crazy and he said any God who allowed an innocent baby to be born blind either a is

(Speaker 27)
Isn’t all-powerful because he couldn’t stop it or B

(Speaker 4)
Isn’t good because he could have stopped it and didn’t and he goes in any God like that I will not pray to and he goes and you don’t need to pray to him either You need to go enroll him in the school for the blind my kid. There was a waiting list So all I’m saying is that God I know for a fact is working through your family and when there is a moment Whatever that is that your dad, you, anyone in there is called to do something, you all will know and will not be able to miss it.

(Speaker 30)
So.

(Speaker 1)
Amen.

(Speaker 27)
You know what, I have to say one thing though,

(Speaker 1)
Vanessa, you totally minimize yourself, right? So you called yourself just small business coaches. Let me put this in perspective. These guys spent, I don’t know, how many years? At least three years of your life.

(Speaker 29)
Four years.

(Speaker 1)
Four years of your life.

(Speaker 13)
Four years.

(Speaker 14)
Four years of your life.

(Speaker 28)
Four years of your life.

(Speaker 1)
Putting on 25 reawaken events?

(Speaker 2)
25 events, yep.

(Speaker 1)
I think I spoke at like 19 of them, right? I mean, I met these guys, they were a couple into it and I started speaking at them and I religiously went to I think I only had to miss one because I was like And you subbed out your brother you say can I sub out my brother and exchange? I said we’ll accept which wasn’t nearly as much fun. All right, it dawns like the second child He’s the first child based on the second The impact that these two guys had on on the political landscape in this country, I cannot tell you how meaningful it was. And by the way, I also can’t tell you how uncomfortable it was.

(Speaker 1)
They went after Clay like he was a dog. They went after the family. They went after the organization. They went after Reawaken. They went after the speakers as if it was a group. And these were the most beautiful events that you’ve ever seen.

(Speaker 1)
I mean, 25 events, thousands and thousands and thousands of people at each one of them. These guys are miraculous. They put their life into it. He never took a plane to any one of them. He drove from here to Portland.

(Speaker 1)
If Clay ever asked me to drive from Oklahoma to Portland, I was like, you know, Clay, I’m gonna miss one of your events that much. I can promise you.

(Speaker 2)
I tried to sell. I told I called Laura. I said, Laura, you haven’t really lived until you’ve driven from Oklahoma to Portland in a white van. It’s got one hundred and fifty thousand original miles on it. You’re going to love it.

(Speaker 2)
And you were turning me down.

(Speaker 1)
Guys, you got nothing. unbelievable friendship out of me and he got an unbelievable respect out of so much of the country who loves him. But these were the most well-attended events, but they sucked the blood and life out. They went after these guys and he never, ever stopped because he really believed. And honestly, it cost him much more than he made from it. This wasn’t a money-making venture.

(Speaker 1)
I mean, Clay really believed he wanted to see this country saved, and he just was relentless in this pursuit. And Vanessa was the same way, relentless in this pursuit. And I think it’s a great lesson, whatever you believe in, go after. And go after unabashedly. Go after with all the energy that you possibly have in your body.

(Speaker 1)
Don’t let people deter you. Don’t listen to the word no. It’s almost the thing that you can credit Elon Musk with the most. You know how many people made fun of his little idea of flying rockets to Mars? Every single one, you’re never going to do that. It’s too expensive. You can’t do it. They’re never going to let you do it. They’re never going to give you the permits. And he just didn’t care to hear the word no. He only believed in what was ultimately his dream, and he sprinted toward it. And there’s no question that this is exactly what he did with reawaken and it made a difference.

(Speaker 1)
It made a massive difference. There were so many followings that you had that were so left behind, so left behind. People that literally didn’t have a voice anymore who wanted to have a voice. And Clay gave those people that outlet.

(Speaker 1)
And so, Vanessa, please never call yourself little small business owners from Tulsa, Oklahoma. You guys were pivotal and hopefully what will turn out to be one of the greatest victories in American history.

(Speaker 27)
I appreciate that.

(Speaker 26)
Eric, now I want to say-

(Speaker 2)
I think you’re uncomfortable.

(Speaker 3)
No, you’re good.

(Speaker 26)
You’re good.

(Speaker 2)
It’s a weird thing because I just remember when I watched General Flynn, the stuff he’s going through, I’m just like praying for you guys relentlessly. To Vanessa’s point, I really didn’t believe in the power of prayer until our son was healed at all. And so, you know, it’s wild to meet you guys in the flesh and then to meet you, and I think you’re just, you’re the real deal, and I love that about you.

(Speaker 2)
I wanna get into the energy thing have a certain energy. Your dad is famous for pointing out the lack of energy that certain people had during debates. And I actually interviewed Dr. Carson on our show. And so we’re off air, and I can share this, enough time has passed. But I said, Dr. Carson, I want you to know, sir,

(Speaker 2)
I actually voted for you, but then Trump beat you. So I ended up voting for Trump for president, but you were my guy, and then Trump beat you. And he’s like, yeah, yeah. I told him the other day, I’m really good. This is when Trump was in the white house. Ben Carson says, Dr. Carson says, and I’m actually, I told him the other day, I’m so glad I didn’t win.

(Speaker 2)
And I said, you are, he’s I don’t have the energy. I mean, it was because it’s an energy. bring to the workplace and that is felt within your whole team. Kim over here, Kim is a superstar. Kim, I know my position, I can’t see, there you are, that’s Kim. She’s great. Everyone on your team is, they bring this energy. And you don’t seem to put up with people with low energy.

(Speaker 2)
Talk about the energy, what that means, energy.

(Speaker 1)
Listen, energy is everything, guys. And by the way, maybe the two greatest defeats of all time was using that little energy line, right? I mean, the first one was Jeb Bush. Do you remember that? Oh look, Jeb has some energy tonight. It’s really great. Look, the guy showed up. Jeb, you move any further to the right, you’re gonna fall off the stage.

(Speaker 1)
I was sitting there just laughing front row, and it was a little awkward. I was kind of friends with his son, and it was hard to sit next to a guy with as this happens on the stage. The second one was obviously Joe Biden, with the least energy of all. But listen, guys, energy is, you know, first of all, energy is contagious, right? I mean, I think people are attracted

(Speaker 1)
to people with good energy. I can’t tell you, there was a flight attendant on Delta coming up here today. She had the best energy you’ve ever seen. I literally said that to her. I go, to positive energy. And then second of all, I think energy is excitement.

(Speaker 1)
They’re parallels to one another. And I think if you’re excited about something, you’re more convincing about whatever that is. If you’re excited to fight the war, if you’re excited to rep something, to talk about something, if you’re passionate about something, if you’re excited, it makes you more excited about whatever topic that is. You can take a person that has a different hobby from you, a hobby that you will never enjoy. Take somebody who’s really excited about basket weaving. They put enough energy into it. At least you draw a little bit out of that, out of their soul. It’s like, this is cool. The person

(Speaker 1)
is really into this. They’re inspired by something. And I think all of us can appreciate that. And so, listen, energy is critical. It’s critical to small business. It’s critical to what you do. It’s critical to all your customers. And by the way, I really do feel, I don’t think energy can be faked. Like, I don’t think you could just go around faking the fact that you’re into something when you’re truly not. There have been plenty of politicians who have tried to do that and they’ve all failed. There have been plenty of business leaders who have tried to do that. Guess what?

(Speaker 1)
They start missing days, and they start doing this, and they start doing that, and they don’t commit themselves the same way. You’ve got to have energy for whatever you’re doing, and I think that’s been a big secret

(Speaker 25)
to success.

(Speaker 2)
Now, sales. session from specific people here as well. So sales, your family doesn’t apologize for selling something. And we have your website pulled up there, the Trump website there. And you guys have, I mean, properties all over the world you’re developing. And under your leadership, I think

(Speaker 2)
the organization may have doubled in size. Maybe I’m getting those numbers wrong. There’s almost 6,000 employees. And you guys are hard charged. And you’re putting up a new tower in Jeddah. I mean, you guys are moving. And you don’t apologize for sales.

(Speaker 2)
So I want to just, first, you can just share with us a little bit, how large is the Trump organization? And then what’s sort of your mindset to unapologetically selling the vision of the new tower or the new project?

(Speaker 1)
Or just tell us do the best. It’s part of our brand. It’s either going to be the best or we just choose not to do it because there’s no point. It’s otherwise dilutionary toward who we are and what we do. But we have an amazing company. I came in early 2006 and we were largely residential buildings. That was our bread and butter. We had a couple of hotels, but largely residential. I saw the greatest two years. 2006, 2007 as a developer was amazing. And then 2008, everybody remembers what happened. Countrywide folded, Bank of America stopped doing end loans, so did Chase, so did everybody else. And you saw the greatest two

(Speaker 1)
years of prosperity in the real estate world, followed by arguably probably the two worst we’ve ever seen, and certainly two of the worst we’ve ever seen in our country’s history. You couldn’t get end loan financing. Good luck if you had a house in Phoenix, or if you had a house in Las Vegas, or if you had a house here. There was just no market for it. It was actually great at the beginning of my career to see how good something could be, quickly followed by how bad something could be. We really doubled down at that time. We went out, we had done very,

(Speaker 1)
very well, we were under levered at that time. All of a sudden, people started coming to us because we’re really good at what we did. They started coming to us at the golf world saying, hey, we’ve got this incredible piece of land, we don’t know how to manage it.

(Speaker 1)
Our golf club, it’s an equity club, but all the board members are fighting. We don’t know what the hell we’re doing. You know, will you come in over in and take it over? And, you know, all of a sudden we started just, you know, golf course after golf course, hotel after hotel, buying, buying property after property at 5 cents on the dollar. And we took this portfolio and we literally doubled it in a couple of years and then tripled it and quadrupled it. And, uh, and we’ve, And the company’s got bigger and bigger. It’s gotten more diversified. It went from really residential high-rise

(Speaker 1)
to hotel to resort, golf course, golf course resort, meaning with hotel components, wineries, some of the biggest commercial buildings in New York, California and other places. So big office buildings, a lot of residential projects, a lot of retail.

(Speaker 1)
And it’s just been fun. We’ve been adding and adding and adding. And more recently, we’ve really gone into the crypto space in a very big way, because there’s no question that that’s kind of the new frontier. I’m glad my man over here likes it. But there’s no question that’s become the new frontier. And I’m probably spending 30% of my time in that space. And we’ve got 23 projects around the world that are under development right now. It’s going to be a busy year, a bunch of Middle East, a bunch of Vietnam, a couple in India, all hotels, golf courses,

(Speaker 1)
residential towers. And so we’ve been kicking butt, and it’s been a lot of fun. We’re trying to keep our heads above water, but it’s been amazing, and we have got a great organization, and everybody’s embraced it. And yeah, we’re doing great. Now, Eric, with about the 25 minutes we have left with you, what I’m going to do is I’m going to bring up a few people that I have certified as being not crazy.

(Speaker 1)
I hope they don’t let me down. And they’re going to be able to ask you a question. The way it’s going to work, if you don’t want to answer the question, you can punt and then I’ll throw myself under the bus, but they should ask reasonable questions. fields, pergolas, pavilions. This is Randy Antriquet. He’s a very successful company.

(Speaker 1)
He’s grown, I think, eight times since we first met. He’s rocking and rolling. PMHOKC.com. What question? I’m going to pass the mic to you. Just make sure you eat the mic. What

(Speaker 2)
question would you have for Eric Trump, sir?

(Speaker 7)
Wow, on the spot, really. What’s your style of managing people? I mean, how do you handle a tough situation with employees?

(Speaker 1)
Well, I think it depends. It may be the toughest question. What we try and do is we try not to micromanage. If you have somebody who is immensely competent, that’s the person you want in your organization, and let them do their job and let them do it well. Not to say that you can’t look over budgets, not to say that you shouldn’t be present and we’re incredibly present. You should set very high expectations,

(Speaker 1)
but get very good people and try not to micromanage very good people. Very good people don’t want to be micromanaged and very good people don’t need to be micromanaged. And that ultimately gives you a lot of bandwidth. And it’s been probably the biggest key to me, right? Especially as we got into the political stuff and I was trying to run a massive company while trying to campaign every single day and you’re just running out of hours. If you had to make every single decision

(Speaker 1)
on a property level, you couldn’t do it, right? There’s a certain point where you have to let go and it’s hard. We’re all, every single one of us is a control freak. Every single one of us in our minds better than the others. You want to be the person that makes that decision, but at the end of the day, you hold somebody down who’s otherwise incredibly competent. You know, you’re making them worse.

(Speaker 1)
You’re making yourself worse. You’re making it impossible, you know, to grow. So, so much of that equation, you find a great person and you let them, you know, you inspire them, you build their confidence.

(Speaker 2)
You set really high expectations. Okay Thrive Nation on part one of today’s show we just had Eric Trump, President Trump’s son break down for us specifically how he manages his day. And Eric Trump, many people know this, some people don’t. I’ll go to his ex feed so you can see it here. Eric Trump is the man who manages the day-to-day operations of the Trump Organization. You say, what does that mean? You know, so there’s 5,000 plus employees that work for the Trump Organization.

(Speaker 2)
It is a multi-billion dollar organization. And when Eric Trump manages the Trump Organization, one of the things they have to do at the Trump Organization is they have to make sure that they’re making money. It’s not about how much money you make, it’s how much money you keep. They have to make sure they’re making a profit. And so when you think about growing a company, there are two ways to grow a company. And Tyler, I’m sure you would agree with my assessment on this.

(Speaker 2)
One is you can bring in more money or two, you can reduce your expenses. And one thing that Eric Trump is obsessed about is making sure that no money is wasted. He wants to make sure that every dollar that comes in is going to be used to wow the customers, to wow the guests, and to produce a sustainable win-win profit. Tyler, many people that own a business watching today’s show, they have not looked at their credit card expenses

(Speaker 2)
in probably months, probably years. I know Eric Trump looks at these things on a daily basis. I just want to get your thoughts on this. Why do business owners, Tyler, as a general rule, not look at their credit card expenses often?

(Speaker 5)
I think they don’t really think about it. I think they just they just you know they see that fee come out monthly and I think for them they just think hey you know this is what it is this is just something I have to I have to pay and but you know a lot of business owners don’t realize that you know if you’re with the right processor those rates can be significantly reduced. you know, if you’re with the right processor, those rates can be significantly reduced.

(Speaker 2)
Now I know if you were to sit down with Eric Trump today and say, Hey, Eric, what was the last time you compared rates? He would probably say, well, two weeks ago. Yeah, because he does it. I mean, literally, he looks at his expenses on a weekly on a daily basis. He’s a phenomenal manager and I hope people pick that up on part one of today’s show. That being said, you run a very credible credit card processing company.

(Speaker 2)
This organization here, it’s called Integrated Payment Services. When you sit down with the average small business owner, again as the man who runs Integrated Payment Services, how often are the average business owners typically looking at their credit card processing fees by default?

(Speaker 5)
Yeah, they’re not looking at it very often. Um, you know, and I, and, and, you know, it’s funny, but not funny. A lot of times I’ll, I’ll meet with someone and they’ll say, Oh, I got this great rate, you know, and they’ll, they’ll throw out a rate, you know, they’ll be like, Oh, I’m at, you know, whatever. And then we’ll get into their statement and we’ll really start looking at it and you can kind of see a look on their face like they’re nowhere near where, you know, they told me that they were because I think they just were told they were in some place and then they just believe

(Speaker 5)
that and then they just moved on. And then when they really started digging into it line item by line item, they start to realize, whoa, this is not what I thought that it was.

(Speaker 2)
You know, and speaking very specifically about your organization and our relationship, I’ve used your credit card processing company for years. And I can tell you, when we compared rates with you, not only was I shocked at how much money we could save, but I was also shocked by how I was being consistently misled.

(Speaker 2)
And I’ll tell you the story. There was a credit card processor I used, a great guy. I worked with a great rep, Tyler, and he passed away. He literally passed away. He died at an advanced age. He passed away.

(Speaker 2)
And so my representative died, and the company or the contract that I was involved in, my company was doing business with his company, they began to incrementally raise the rates. And my new rep, I never met my new rep. I didn’t know who the new rep was, and the rates just kept going up and up and up. And when we sat down with you, because you were recommended to us by so many people,

(Speaker 2)
we sat down and compared rates, and I found that when I compared rates with your company, integrated payment services, I was able to save, no exaggeration, well over $5,000 a year. I still have the comparison. It was a dramatic savings and I’m so glad that we utilized your services.

(Speaker 2)
But again, I had fastidiously built a relationship with somebody. I’d used that person for years. And when they passed away, the new person that took over their account, they didn’t say, hey, by the way, we’re raising your rates. They just did incrementally over time. person that took over their account, they didn’t say, hey, by the way, we’re raising your rates. They just did, incrementally over time.

(Speaker 2)
And when we sat down to compare rates with your company, we were shocked by how much money that you saved us. I want to ask you, how much money can you save the average business owner if they’ll just take five minutes to go to thrivetimeshow.com forward slash credit dash card? If the average person just takes five minutes, if the average person just takes five minutes if the average person just takes the challenge and they go to Thrive time show comm forward slash credit dash card

(Speaker 2)
How much money can you save the average business owner?

(Speaker 5)
$3,000 a year

(Speaker 2)
Can you give us an example maybe a recent industry where you sat down with a business owner and Compared rates and you blew their mind With how much money you could save them

(Speaker 24)
There’s a and compared rates and you blew their mind with how much money you could save them?

(Speaker 5)
There’s a company similar to Safe Flight that does a windshield replacement. And we met with them, they, you know, kind of one of those same deals, right? Hey, we’ve got a great deal, but we want you at least to look at it. We started to look at it and, you know and they looked like they had a great deal,

(Speaker 5)
but then as we really started to dig in, it wasn’t what it appeared. We were able to save them right at $700 a month. Now, that’s an extreme case, but that’s a lot of money for a small business. I think he’s got eight vehicles that go out and do these window replacements.

(Speaker 5)
And so for him, $700 a month, that’s a lot of money in his pocket at the end of the year.

(Speaker 2)
This is, I could not, I don’t know how to communicate this with enough enthusiasm, but if you’re watching today’s show and you are remotely wowed by what you learned from Eric Trump, hopefully this resonates with you. Eric Trump is obsessed with making sure that the company is not wasting money. If you were to talk to Eric Trump

(Speaker 2)
for any amount of time at all, he would tell you it’s not about how much money you make, it’s about how much money you keep. And this is the man who runs the Trump organization. And he is just as aggressive with marketing and branding as he is with accounting and cutting expenses. And I’m just

(Speaker 2)
telling you, although Eric Trump, you know, doesn’t endorse integrated payment services, Eric Trump would endorse the idea of looking at your expenses and comparing rates. I just, it’s something that makes sense to do. Tyler, I’m gonna give you the final 30 seconds. Why should everybody go to thrivetimeshow.com forward slash credit dash card and compare rates today.

(Speaker 5)
It’s going to take you 15 minutes. It’ll take you 15 minutes with a phone call for me to understand how much money you can save and we’re not going to change anything for you operationally. So nothing operationally changes. We have no contracts. We’ve got local, you know, well, local to the US support. We always answer our phone and we’re gonna save you money. There’s no reason not to give us an opportunity.

(Speaker 2)

The Trump Organization, again, most people don’t know this,

(Speaker 2)
but the Trump Organization has thousands of employees and while Donald J Trump was the 45th president of these United States he needed a competent man to run and execute his business plans. So the man that runs the Trump organization for Donald J Trump as he was the 45th president of the United States and now the 47th president of the United States is Eric Trump. So Eric Trump is here to talk about time management, promoting from within, marketing, branding, quality control, sales systems, workflow design, workflow mapping, how to build. I mean, everything that you see, the Trump hotels, the Trump golf courses, all their

(Speaker 2)
products, the man who manages billions of dollars of real estate and thousands of employees is here to teach us how to do it.

(Speaker 3)
You are talking about one of the greatest brands on the planet from a business standpoint. I mean, who else has been able to create a brand like the Trump brand? I mean, look at it. And this is the man behind the business for the last,

(Speaker 3)
pretty much since 2015. He’s been the man behind it. So you’re talking, we’re into nine, going into 10 years of him running it. And we get to tap into that knowledge. That’s going to be amazing.

(Speaker 2)
Now think about this for a second.

(Speaker 6)
But Clay Clark, man, he is one character.

(Speaker 7)
That’s a good word for him, character.

(Speaker 21)
Yeah, that is it.

(Speaker 10)
Good, driven, smart. And I’ve never met a guy who was so hyper all the time. He’s doing so much good. And then I met his mother. And she just says, she just lets him be Clay Clark. I mean, so he’s endorsed by his mother.

(Speaker 10)
And he’s doing magnificent work. So it was great meeting you out

(Speaker 6)
there and all the people that he surrounds himself with. His client Clark starts his days at five

(Speaker 21)
o’clock in the morning. Oh, it’s incredible. Yeah, he’s he’s like, he’s a machine. He’s a machine.

(Speaker 10)
But his you know, I got I have problems with my company starting at nine o’clock. Yes, hundreds of people showing up at 5 a.m. in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Man, he’s a leader of a leader. He’s a fantastic young man.

(Speaker 21)
No, he is.

(Speaker 2)
The lineup continues to grow and this is how we do our tickets here at the Thrive Time Show. If you wanna get a VIP ticket, you can absolutely do it. It’s $500 for a VIP ticket, you can absolutely do it. It’s $500 for a VIP ticket. We’ve always done it that way. Now, if you want to take a general admission ticket, it’s $250 or whatever price you want to pay.

(Speaker 2)
And the reason why I do that, and the reason why we do that is because we want to make our events affordable for everybody. I grew up without money. I totally understand what it’s like to be in a tight spot. So if you want to pay, that’s how I do it. And it’s $500 for a VIP ticket. Now, we only have limited seating here.

(Speaker 2)
The most people we’ve ever had in this building was for the Jim Brewer presentation. Jim Brewer came here, the legendary comedian Jim Brewer came to Tulsa, and we had 419 people that were here. 419 people.

(Speaker 20)
Yeah.

(Speaker 2)
And I thought to myself, there’s no more room. I felt kind of bad that a couple people had VIP seats in the men’s restroom. Oh, no, I’m just kidding. But I felt, so I thought, you know what?

(Speaker 3)
We should probably add on.

(Speaker 1)
Clay Clark is here somewhere. Where’s my buddy Clay?

(Speaker 13)
Congratulations.

(Speaker 1)
Clay’s the greatest. I met his goats today. I met his dogs. I met his chickens.

(Speaker 19)
I saw his dogs, I met his chickens, I saw his compound. He’s like the greatest guy. I ran from his goats, his chickens, his dogs.

(Speaker 1)
So this guy’s like the greatest marketer you’ve ever seen, right? His entire life, Clay Clark, his entire life is marketing.

(Speaker 2)
So again, if you want to get tickets for this event, all you have to do is go to Thrivetimeshow.com. Go to Thrivetimeshow.com, you’ll go there, you’ll request a ticket, boom. Or if you want to text me, if you want a little bit faster service, you say, I want you to call me right now. Just text my number. That’s my cell phone number.

(Speaker 2)
My personal cell phone number. We’ll keep that private between you, between you, me, everybody. We’ll keep that private. And anybody, don’t share that with anybody except for everybody. It’s 918-851-0102. 918-851-0102. I know we have a lot of Spanish-speaking people that attend these conferences.

(Speaker 2)
And so to be bilingually sensitive,

(Speaker 1)
my cell phone number is 918-851-0102.

(Speaker 3)
That is not actually bilingual. That’s just saying Juan for a one.

(Speaker 18)
It’s not the same thing.

(Speaker 2)
I think you’re attacking me. Now, let’s talk about this. Now, what kind of stuff will you learn at the Thrive Time Show Workshop? So, Aaron, you’ve been to many of these over the past seven, eight years. So let’s talk about it. I’ll tee up the thing and then you tell me what you’re going to learn here. OK, OK. You’re going to get my brand known out there like the Trump brand, right? You

(Speaker 2)
want to get that brand out there. It’s like, how do I actually make people know what my business is? Yeah, and make

(Speaker 3)
it a household name, you’re gonna learn some intricacies of

(Speaker 17)
how you can do that.

(Speaker 2)
You’re gonna learn sales. So many people struggle to sell something. This just in your business will go to hell if you can’t sell. So we’re going to teach you sales. We’re going to teach you search engine optimization, how to come up top in the search engine results. We’re going to teach you how to manage people. Aaron, you have managed, no exaggeration,

(Speaker 2)
hundreds of people throughout your career and thousands of contractors. And most people struggle with managing people.

(Speaker 3)
Why does everybody have to learn how to manage people? Well because first of all, people are, you either have great people or you have people who suck. And so it can be a challenge. You know, learning how to work with a large group of people and get everybody pulling in the same direction can be a challenge. But if you have the right systems, you have the right processes, and you’re really good at selecting great ones.

(Speaker 3)
And we have a process we teach about how to find great people. When you start with the people who have a great attitude, they’re teachable, they’re driven, all of those things, then you can get those people all pulling in the same direction.

(Speaker 2)
So we’re going to teach you branding, marketing, sales, search engine optimization. We’re going to teach you accounting. We’re gonna teach you personal finance, how to manage your finance. We’re gonna teach you time management. How do you manage your time?

(Speaker 2)
How do you get more done during a typical day? How do you build an organization if you’re not organized? How do you do organization? How do you build an org chart? Everything that you need to know to start and grow a business will be taught during this two day interactive business workshop.

(Speaker 2)
Now let me tell you how the format is set up here. And again folks, this is a two day interactive 15, think about this folks, it’s two days. Each day it starts at 7 a.m. and it goes until 5 p.m. So from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. two days, it’s a two-day interactive workshop. The way we do it is we do a 30-minute teaching session, and then we break for 15 minutes for a question

(Speaker 2)
and answer session. So Aaron, what kind of great stuff happens during that 15-minute question and answer session after every teaching session?

(Speaker 3)
I actually think it’s the best part about the workshops, because here’s what happens. I’ve been to lots of these things over the years. I’ve paid many thousands of dollars to go to them and you go in there and they talk in vague generalities and they’re constantly upselling you for something trying to get you to buy this thing or that thing or this program or this membership and you don’t you leave not getting your very specific questions

(Speaker 3)
answered about your business or your employees or what you’re doing on your marketing and what’s awesome about this is we literally answer every single question that any person asks. And it’s very specific to what your business is. And what we do is we allow you as the attendee to write your questions on the whiteboard.

(Speaker 3)
And then we literally, as you mentioned, we answer every single question on the whiteboard. And then we take a 15 minute break to stretch and to make it entertaining when you’re stretching. And this is a true story. When you get up and stretch, you’ll be greeted by mariachis.

(Speaker 3)
There’s going to probably be alpaca here, llamas, helicopter rides, a coffee bar, a snow cone. I mean, there’s just. You had a crocodile one time. That was pretty interesting.

(Speaker 2)
You know, I should write that down. And I can do that. Maggie, sorry for that one guy that we lost. The crocodile, we duct taped its face. So that, right, we duct taped. No, it was a baby crocodile. And we duct taped.

(Speaker 3)
Yeah, duct taped around the mouth so it didn’t bite anybody. But it was really cool to pass that thing around and pet it. I should do that.

(Speaker 16)
I should.

(Speaker 2)
We have a small petting zoo that will be assembled. It’s going to be great. of entrepreneurs. So there’s not a lot of people in America today. In fact, there’s less than 10 million people today, according to US Debt Clock, that identify as being self-employed. So if you have a country with 350 million people, that means you have less than 3% of our population

(Speaker 2)
that’s even self-employed. So you only have three out of every 100 people in America that are self-employed to begin with. And when Inc. Magazine reports that 96% of businesses fail by default, by default you have a one out of a thousand chance of succeeding in the game of business. But yet the average client that you and I work with, we can typically double the size

(Speaker 2)
of the company within 24 months. No hyperbole, no exaggeration, I have thousands of testimonials to back this up. We have thousands of testimonials to back it up. But when you work with a home builder, when I work with a business owner, we can typically double the size of the company within 24 months.

(Speaker 15)
Yeah.

(Speaker 3)
Double? And you say double? Yeah, there’s businesses that we have tripled. There’s businesses we’ve grown 8x. There’s so many examples you can see at thrivetimeshow.com. But again, this is the most interactive,

(Speaker 2)
best business workshop on the planet. This is objectively the highest rated and most reviewed business workshop on the planet.

(Speaker 8)
I was looking to learn how to take my business, like they’ve said today, from being very successful to being systematic. I’ve got a very successful practice in three different cities. Make good money.

(Speaker 8)
Just want to take it to the next level with systems and processes to where I can drive my cars more. Paul Hood. I’ve been a CPA for 33 years.

(Speaker 2)
And what kind of growth have you and your great team had here over the past, let’s say, 5-6 years?

(Speaker 8)
The last 5, when I met you five years ago, we were doing $3 million. This year, we’ll do $24 million.

(Speaker 2)
And you say, Clay, I still, I’m not going to get a ticket unless you give me more. OK, fine. We’re going to serve you the same meal both days.

(Speaker 14)
True story.

(Speaker 2)
We cater in the food. And because I keep it simple. I keep it simple. I literally bring him the same food both days for lunch. It’s Ted Esconzito’s, an incredible Mexican restaurant. That’s going to happen. And Jill Donovan, our good friend, who is the founder of Rustic Cuff. She started that company in her home, and now she sells millions of dollars of apparel and products.

(Speaker 2)
That’s rusticcuff.com. And someone says, I want more. This is not enough. Give me more. OK. I’m not going to mention their names right now because I’m working on it behind the scenes here. But we’ve got one guy who’s given me a verbal to be here. And this is a guy who’s one of the wealthiest people

(Speaker 2)
in Oklahoma. And nobody really knows who he is because he’s built systems that are very utilitarian, that offer a lot of value. He’s made a lot of money in the, it’s the, it’s where you rent, it’s short, it’s where you’re renting storage spaces. He’s a storage space guy.
