(Speaker 4)
It is Jen Jacobsen -Brusa, and our web address is shop . belovedcheesecakes .

(Speaker 53)
com.

(Speaker 4)
We have definitely broke records, especially in the month of October, and we’re shipping 130 cheesecakes every Tuesday. We could ship more, but we’re just running out of space. We don’t have enough space.

(Speaker 5)
We don’t have the freezer capacity, and our bakers are struggling to keep up. And we have two full -time amazing bakers. It’s a great problem to have. We are super blessed.

(Speaker 52)
Yes.

(Speaker 5)
But it’s just, you know, overcoming, digging, digging, digging. Yep. We don’t use preservatives or anything. That’s why we can’t, when we ship them, we want to be able to add all of our fresh ingredients. However, to make the best possible cheesecake arrive at the best possible way, we have to ship the toppings separately. Our growth has been through the roof.

(Speaker 2)
Now, when our phone dings and there are cheesecake, that means it’s been a cheesecake sale.

(Speaker 30)
It used to be a rule.

(Speaker 5)
Wow, look at that.

(Speaker 32)
We got a cheesecake sale.

(Speaker 5)
Oh, my stars. Look, where are we shipping it to now? It’s, oh boy, I hope I have the product available. I hope everything’s gonna be perfect. And now our cheesecake shippings are anywhere from 125 to, I think this week, Tuesday the 28th, we will be another personal record. I think we’re pushing 140, possibly 145 cheesecakes.

(Speaker 5)
Are you like, so you’re up like 14 times?

(Speaker 2)
Is that, is that accurate, Jim?

(Speaker 27)
Am I getting that?

(Speaker 5)
Yes. I can’t get over enough of Clay would always tell us, It’s about consistency. It’s about being at the grind and you develop your systems and you repeat them and you develop everything that works and you repeat it over and over and over. Regardless if you’re tired, you’re discouraged, it doesn’t matter. These systems work and if you continue to just put time into it and do it repetitively over and over and over, the fruit will come, the results will come, and you’ll be like us.

(Speaker 11)
How are we keeping up with all these orders? Jen Brusa owns and operates a successful business called Beloved Cheesecakes, where she sells an amazing variety of them.

(Speaker 4)
Jen says her made -from -scratch desserts are award -winning for a couple of reasons.

(Speaker 11)
I just chalk it up to it’s Jesus, and it’s made with pure love, and my heart goes into it. Before Jen became a business owner, she had separated from her husband and was raising her three sons by herself. Jen received food stamps to help cover her expenses.

(Speaker 2)
She also worked as a waitress and got another job in guest services.

(Speaker 4)
But even then, it wasn’t enough to take care of her three growing boys. Overwhelmed is an understatement. There were times where I didn’t even think I was going to make it.

(Speaker 11)
Honestly, it was my boys that kept me going. After Jen and her husband divorced, she joined a food share co -op program where she paid $20 a month to get surplus food at a discounted price. That’s when she received a parcel of blackberries and started making cheesecakes.

(Speaker 8)
They were so popular, she began to sell them. A major blow to Oregon restaurants and bars as the state enters a third shutdown is going to take effect today. And it will be the third indoor dining ban for some major cities like Portland and Salem and Bend. And Eugene forcing recovering restaurants to shut their doors yet again to indoor diners. Jen Jacobson is a mother of three and the owner of Beloved Cheesecakes. And she joins us right now from out in Oregon.

(Speaker 4)
Good morning to you Jen. Good morning.

(Speaker 8)
Thank you for having me. When you heard the news, you must have thought, you got to be kidding me. I’ve already had to let all my employees go. It’s just me and my three kids running this operation.

(Speaker 4)
What are you going to do. Keep going and doing what I can with the to go orders and trying to survive that way. I mean that is what it is. It’s like just surviving right now. I do feel like for small businesses you know Governor Brown talks about being the underrepresented population of people that she cares for. I mean, we have that in common.

(Speaker 4)
I care for underrepresented people myself. And I think she’s oversaw small business owners and especially in the restaurant industry.

(Speaker 8)
And we’re being underrepresented right now. Yeah, and there’s a picture of you with your three children who are helping you run your operation. And by the way, we’ve got your website. We’re going to give the website in a moment. So people, if they would like to get, in fact, there it is right there. People would like to help her and her family out.

(Speaker 8)
Belovedcheesecakes .

(Speaker 1)
com is where you can go to see what she’s selling, and she’ll ship it to you. It’s the day everything changes. Not the day you hope, not the day you wish, not even the day you pray for something different. It’s the day you decide. And that’s a rare day. Most people drift for years, sometimes decades, waiting for something to shift outside of themselves.

(Speaker 29)
They say, if only circumstances were different, if only the company would give me a break, if only the economy would turn, if only my spouse understood, if only my boss cared.

(Speaker 1)
But nothing happens. The calendar flips, birthdays come and go, and yet the story stays the same. Why? Because nothing truly changes until a decision is made. Not a preference, not a passing desire, a real decision. See, the word decide comes from the same root as homicide, suicide.

(Speaker 1)
It means to cut off. The day you decide, you cut off every other possibility but the one you choose. The bridges are burned. The boats are gone. You say, this is it. No more going back.

(Speaker 1)
I remember years ago sitting in a small apartment, looking around at the bills on the table, the stack of empty promises made to myself and thinking, enough. This is not the life I imagined. That’s the moment. Not a big announcement, not a parade, just a quiet, private decision. But from that moment, everything else changes. One decision ends a thousand bad habits.

(Speaker 1)
One decision can rewrite years of wandering. The past becomes a lesson, not a sentence. People sometimes wait for a bolt of lightning, a sign, some external push. But the greatest change never starts on the outside. It begins the day someone stands up inside themselves and says, I’m done drifting. Today is the day of change.

(Speaker 1)
I turn it around. That’s the start of a new life. Not the wishing for things to get better, but the deciding they will. Not someday. Today. You know, the world doesn’t respond to intentions.

(Speaker 1)
It responds to resolve. The marketplace, your family, your friends, they can all feel it when you’ve truly decided. Not when you say it, but when you show it. You carry yourself differently. There’s an intensity in your voice, a focus in your actions. The indecision melts away.

(Speaker 1)
and the new path becomes clear. Not because it’s easy. but because it’s finally chosen. If you look back at your own life, you’ll see those moments. The day you quit that habit, the day you walked out of that job or relationship, the day you said, enough is enough, those are the pivots. And it doesn’t have to be dramatic.

(Speaker 1)
Sometimes it’s a whisper in the middle of the night. Sometimes it’s a word to a friend. Sometimes it’s just a look in the mirror, but you know it and the people around you know it too. That’s the power of a real decision. So ask yourself, has that day come yet? Has the real decision been made?

(Speaker 1)
If not, maybe today is the day. Not another wish, not another excuse. The turning point isn’t out there somewhere, it’s here. In the moment when you decide that the story changes now. Not when circumstances get better, not when someone else steps in, but when you draw the line and step over it. The day you turn it around isn’t on the calendar, it’s in your hands.

(Speaker 1)
It happens the instant you say, this is it. No more drifting.

(Speaker 2)
From this day, everything changes because I’ve decided it will. All right, folks. We have the beloved Cheesecakes team broadcasting live here from Oregon. And they have some exciting news. They’re continuing to set records because great people like you are buying their cheesecakes. But the company started with very humble beginnings.

(Speaker 41)
Jen, welcome on to the Thrive Time Show.

(Speaker 4)
How are you? I’m doing great.

(Speaker 2)
Thanks, Clay, for having us.

(Speaker 4)
So Jen, for anybody who wants to verify you’re not a hologram and you are a real person, can you tell us your first and last name and your web address for your company?

(Speaker 2)
Yes.

(Speaker 4)
And who’s this handsome man next to you, for anybody who wants to look at you?

(Speaker 51)
That’s Makai.

(Speaker 2)
Makai. Now, Makai, people want to look you up. How do you spell Makai? Someone says, how do you spell Makai? It’s M -A -K -A -I. OK, now we’ve got through the controversial stuff.

(Speaker 2)
You guys are winning awards. You’re being nominated for awards. Your sales records are being set. Jen, tell us about the kinds of award or awards you’re being nominated for.

(Speaker 4)
Tell us what’s happening there at BelovedCheesecakes . com. Yeah, well, recently we’ve been put in the top 150 mom and pop shops, America’s mom and pop shops and from the entrepreneur magazine. I thought it was a scam at first because you know, we get a lot of scammy emails and then the tournament started October 6, then round one we were made it through round one and round two came and we made it through round two and So what it is, is every we don’t know when they’re tagging us, but they’ll just tag us on a random day. And it’s we’re facing off with another local or not local, but another small business in America. And this last week was round three, we faced off with a business in New York.

(Speaker 4)
And I We made it in the top four finalists. So next week, we have no idea when beloved cheesecakes will be tagged. But well, I guess we’re going to be facing off a it’s their terminology is a local legend. So but we’re the only business in Oregon that is going to be facing off with another business somewhere elsewhere in the state.

(Speaker 2)
So for four of them, so it’s pretty cool. Now, I want to showcase and share your product with everybody here. It’s belovedcheesecakes . com. That’s the website. And if somebody out there is watching this show, Jen, and they want to be an entrepreneur, they want to be successful, they want to turn their dream into reality,

(Speaker 2)
Could you tell us about how you started BelovedCheesecakes . com? Because, again, now people see the momentum.

(Speaker 4)
They see the awards. They see just all the nationwide success you’re having. But for anybody who’s going, I want to start my own thing, how did you start BelovedCheesecakes . com? Um, well, how I started the whole thing was in 2019, and actually started even before that in 2015. So Makai has married in, but I came out of a domestic violent marriage with three boys.

(Speaker 4)
I was on a food share program, got a flat of blackberries, made a cheesecake, a blackberry cheesecake for my kids school. And from there, it was, um, you know, turned into a side hustle, God’sidentally is what I call it. And then I had a Kickstarter that started us, you know, funded us and we opened my boys and I opened in August 2019, eight months before the lockdown. And then I chose to stay open during the lockdown. I ended up meeting my husband during the lockdown as well. And like I said, he married in and Here we are, God Wanted Beloved Cheesecakes.

(Speaker 4)
It’s his business. I’m his beloved. He is mine.

(Speaker 2)
And it’s pretty amazing. We have two locations. We ship nationwide. We’re in about 20 different restaurants here locally and grocery stores and bougie grocery stores that that is. Now, I met you guys at the Reawaken in Oregon, and people kept saying, Clay, you need to meet Jen. You got to meet this lady.

(Speaker 2)
She did not comply with the lockdowns. She stayed open, which, by the way, Oregon is a very tough state to stay open in. For anybody who doesn’t know, it’s probably the most progressive and liberal state out there. I mean, it really is wild, the persecution you faced. You stayed open. You were featured on Fox News and other outlets for defying the lockdowns and the mandates.

(Speaker 2)
We met in Oregon. And now, as you’re growing this, business we have the opportunity to work with. you and help kind of coach you.

(Speaker 11)
And what’s fun about your business is you’re scaling it.

(Speaker 2)
And I really wanted to get into that part. I want to dive into your wisdom on scaling something. So let’s talk about scaling. What does that mean? It’s where you sell something and you sell something else. and you sell another one and now Makai you’re selling eight and then you sell another one you’re selling and the people who bought the cheesecake at belovedcheesecakes .

(Speaker 2)
com they love the cheesecake so much they tell their friends and now all of a sudden you’re selling 16. And now all of a sudden, those 16 love it so much. And now we’re headed into Thanksgiving, and people are going, whoa, I think I saw you on the 700 Club. Aren’t you that lady from Entrepreneur Magazine?

(Speaker 4)
And now you’re selling 32. Jen, I believe, and I want to get Makai’s thoughts on this too, I believe now you’re selling so many cheesecakes that the local shipping services might not be able to even keep up with all the orders. Is that correct? Am I making that up? No, you’re not making it up.

(Speaker 5)
We have definitely broke records, especially in the month of October. And we’re shipping 130 cheesecakes every Tuesday. We could ship more, but we’re just running out of space. We don’t have enough space. We don’t have the freezer capacity. And our bakers are struggling to keep up.

(Speaker 5)
And we have two full -time amazing bakers.

(Speaker 2)
It’s a great problem to have. We are super blessed. Yes. But it’s just, you know, overcoming, digging, digging, digging. Yep. Now, there’s this thing called the tracking sheet, and there’s a thing called a recipe.

(Speaker 2)
So if you didn’t have a recipe, you would not be serving up the world’s best cheesecake. I mean, if you just said, hey, hey, guys, girls, people, just do your best. Make the cheesecakes how you feel. We’ll go off the feel method. Just paint your way through this. Have some fun.

(Speaker 2)
We’ll be creative. So you have a recipe to standardize the excellence and the quality. And then you have a tracking sheet, so you make sure you’re managing the numbers. Jim, let’s talk about this. recipe. When you started making, I’m going to belovedcheesecakes .

(Speaker 2)
com, folks, and I’m clicking on the gallery button.

(Speaker 50)
And I’m looking here, I’m finding myself getting hungry.

(Speaker 4)
You’ve got, what, the pumpkin spice going on? You’ve got the Oreo thing. When you first started experimenting with cheesecakes, how did you know that, OK, this one’s good enough, I should begin selling it? How did you know that? It was, you know, the research and development of it and testing different recipes and making sure that it was perfect and having other people sample them and making sure that this was a high end, high quality cheesecake.

(Speaker 2)
And so by testing it, I do the quality control now, now that I’m not baking, I definitely taste my fillings, make sure that everything is still staying the same. And that’s the biggest compliment we get is the consistency and our quality. You know, we don’t do shortcuts and we still hand zest and hand juice all of our citrus. Someday I would like to get an actual juicer, but we just don’t have the room for it right now. And so when you’re filling these orders, you have bakers, and they all want to make the cakes. You want everyone to make the cakes to a certain quality standard.

(Speaker 2)
Your quality standard, Makai, is sincerely higher than that of your competition. I’m trying to word this in a way that makes sense. You’re not trying to be some diva, bougie cheesecake. But if, like, a Ford Escort was the cheapest Cheesecake in the world and a Lamborghini was like the best you’re kind of serving a Lamborghini Cheesecake, but maybe like a Honda price. I mean, it’s not the cheapest thing in the world, but you offer that Lamborghini quality Can you talk about that just what is the idea? How do you position yourself in the market?

(Speaker 5)
How do you see yourself Makai? Do you see yourselves as like the Lamborghini of cheesecake? Or do you how would you describe? the quality that someone will receive when they get one of your cheesecakes? I would definitely say it’s the Lamborghini. We like to also reference Ferrari.

(Speaker 5)
We call ourselves the Ferrari of cheesecakes, best cheesecake in America. And I think what it all boils down to is we use real ingredients. And we make real cheesecake, scratch made, handmade, every one of them. And when I say real ingredients, you can look at our ingredients because we have to give them out to these bougie grocery stores. And our ingredients, I think it’s 10 or under. And then other cakes that are involved, other cheesecakes from other facilities.

(Speaker 5)
Um, the list is ginormous compared to ours.

(Speaker 4)
And people all the time say when they have our cheesecake, they eat it.

(Speaker 5)
They don’t feel heavy. They don’t feel bloated. Um, they feel still light or, um, they don’t get heartburn and things like that.

(Speaker 2)
So we’re not using all the fillers. No, we don’t use preservatives or anything. That’s why we can’t, when we ship them, uh, we want to be able to add all of our fresh ingredients. However, to make the best possible cheesecake arrive at the best possible way, uh, we have to ship the, um, toppings separately. Now, what I’m going to do now, Jen, is I’m going to open it up. We have two members of our team here on the mic.

(Speaker 2)
They’re not on camera, but they’re on the mic. We have Rihanna here, and we have McKenna. They’re very solid, good people. And they might or might not like cheesecake, but I know they like you. And we’re going to ask you a couple of questions, if we can, about growing your business. Because there’s somebody watching this show today, and they’re going to be inspired by the answers you provide here.

(Speaker 2)
So let’s go with Rihanna first. And Rihanna, what question would you have for Jen, who’s been a client of ours for a long time?

(Speaker 44)
She’s a diligent person.

(Speaker 4)
She’s putting in the work. She’s making a great product. What question would you have for Jen? Yeah, so what habits would you say would be the most critical to your success? Oh, definitely. Well, keeping a schedule.

(Speaker 4)
And then also being a we really focus on being diligent doers, you know, so I tell people when we do group interviews, that we’re not just we’re in these restaurants, not because they came to us, we’re in these grocery stores, not because they came to us, but we’re diligent doers.

(Speaker 2)
And we’re calling them one grocery store, it took us a year to get in. And that’s from us being diligent and calling them. Even with the rejections of nose, we still continue to call. So that is one habit is to continually follow through call do the be a diligent doer. Now, I have a follow -up question, then we’ll go to McKenna here. And I’m not asking you to put your financial numbers out there for the world to hear, but I do want to ask you this question.

(Speaker 2)
Makai, when we met in Oregon, I just remember hearing that you would not lock down. And I knew, well, boop, boop, boop, boop, we can help you. Because there’s a certain defiance you have to have. By the way, there’s a great documentary series called The Defiant Ones. One of my favorite documentaries of all time called The Defiant Ones, and it is mind boggling. But you have to be a little bit defiant in terms of you have to stand up your principles and be focused if you’re going to be a successful entrepreneur.

(Speaker 2)
And I knew when you guys stood up to the lockdowns, I knew you would do very well as business owners. From the time that we met in Oregon to now, How much growth have you had?

(Speaker 49)
Are you selling one extra cheesecake a month?

(Speaker 2)
Are you one time bigger?

(Speaker 5)
Are you 10 % smaller? Is it getting worse? Is it getting better? How would you describe growth, just to give people a context of kind of the growth you guys are having over there at BelovedCheesecakes . com? It’s easy.

(Speaker 5)
It’s been significant. Just last year to this year, and you were just talking shipping, we were excited when it wasn’t a holiday week or a holiday month, and we would ship 10, 15 cheesecakes on a Tuesday.

(Speaker 11)
We thought we were big stuff.

(Speaker 41)
But as of August, while we’ve been really playing around with Facebook ads on our advertising and marketing, because all about that marketing, our growth has been through the roof.

(Speaker 5)
Now, when our phone dings, and there are cheesecake, that means it’s been a cheesecake sale. It used to be a rule. Wow, look at that. We got a cheesecake sale. Oh, my stars. Look, we’re so we’re shipping it to now.

(Speaker 5)
It’s Oh boy, I hope I have the product available. I hope everything’s going to be perfect.

(Speaker 2)
And now our cheesecake shippings are anywhere from 125 to I think this week, Tuesday the 28 we will be another personal record.

(Speaker 48)
I think we’re pushing 140 possibly 145 cheesecakes.

(Speaker 47)
Are you like so you’re up like 14 times?

(Speaker 2)
Is that is that accurate? Am I getting that? Yeah. Yes, yes. Yeah, and I’ll tell you this, folks. What we’re going to do right now, we’re all going to come into an agreement right now.

(Speaker 2)
If you’re looking for a holiday gift, and I know you are. Now, someone says, I’m not looking for a holiday gift. OK, if you’re Scrooge and you’re not getting a holiday gift, we’ll pray for you too. But if you are watching this show right now and you’re looking for a great gift for mom or dad or somebody, I want everyone to go to Beloved Cheesecakes and at least consider buying an incredible cheesecake from BelovedCheesecakes . com. And again, you guys are having exponential, massive growth.

(Speaker 46)
McKenna, you have a chance to work with great clients.

(Speaker 10)
What question would you have for Jen about scaling from a small business to a big business?

(Speaker 4)
regional business to now a national brand. Well, I have you muted. That’s terrible. I’m back to you. Yeah. How has implementing the tracking sheet, um, ultimately helped you and like helped impact your business as well as scaling it?

(Speaker 4)
Oh, the tracking sheet has been an absolute lifesaver. We ask every single person how they hear it about us.

(Speaker 2)
And in the beginning, when we first started working with Clay, we were, um, We had ads on a radio station. We had ads in magazine. And when we started using the tracking sheet of how do you hear about us, we saw where our marketing dollars were going and not getting any. no fruit from it. And so being able to track how everybody heard about us being able to see our numbers, you know, so then we can push like, okay, we’ve got to have sales this week, we had a loss last week or whatever. The tracking sheet has been an absolute game changer for us.

(Speaker 2)
Do you have a follow -up question about tracking sheets, McKenna? We’ll go back to Rhianna.

(Speaker 45)
Do you have a follow -up question for Jen?

(Speaker 4)
Because again, somebody watching this show, you are highly motivated, highly caffeinated, maybe even agitated. You want to have success and you’re maybe saying, wow, can I do it? I know that, I know, I mean this sincerely, I know you can do it.

(Speaker 5)
I know Jen is doing it. Any other question you have for Jen there, McKenna? What was the most surprising thing that you found through tracking? I think, like I said, We, you know, we had our ad, we have a really conservative, awesome radio station here in the area, and we were spending money with them monthly. And I think finding through the tracking sheet and asking people how they hear about us, not seeing fruit from that was really surprising and shocking and, and sad. Cause we also want to support another local business here, but.

(Speaker 5)
When you’re a small business, your dollars, every dollar counts on where you’re spending it. And so I think, wouldn’t you think that’s like, I would just to say, I’d love to add to that, um, asking for objective reviews. Um, at the very beginning, when we started working with clay, we thought this might be a little ridiculous, this little obnoxious pestering people. Hey, we’d love to have an objective review.

(Speaker 20)
Your, your opinion really matters to our business.

(Speaker 5)
Um, but then fast forward to where we’re at 2200 or plus five -star reviews. And to hear when you ask people, hey, how’d you hear about us? They’re like, oh, I want a dessert. And I googled dessert.

(Speaker 2)
And bam, you came right up. Best dessert. Or a company in Vermont says, where’s the best key lime cheesecake? They find us. Now we build a relationship where we send them cases of key lime cheesecake. the way from Oregon into Vermont for her restaurant.

(Speaker 2)
I want to show people this too, just to hammer what you just said, because what you said, Makai, is pretty powerful. If you Google search Oregon Cheesecakes, you guys now come up as the top search result. And I have run into so many people that have come to me and they’ve said, hey, Clay, I heard about Beloved through this, through that, looked them up, They always say that part. They go, I heard about Beloved through this and that and I looked them up and they were great. But they always say, I looked them up. So what does that mean to look it up, to look them up?

(Speaker 2)
I’m looking it up. What does that mean? I’m looking it up. It’s usually somebody Googling something. And then they find something.

(Speaker 44)
And because you stood up against the lockdowns for a while, the only thing that ever came up was like some toxic news story. And so we’ve had to work through that.

(Speaker 4)
So it’s been pretty awesome to see. Rihanna, again, BelovedCheesecakes . com is the topic, scaling a company. What question or questions would you have for Jen about how to scale, how she has scaled her business, BelovedCheesecakes . com? Yeah, how have you dealt with the criticism and the rejection that comes with scaling your business?

(Speaker 4)
It’s pretty easy. I think it’s free entertainment, to be honest. I don’t pay much attention to it. And I’m very vocal here in Oregon. I stand for our freedom and Jesus and America.

(Speaker 2)
And so what people that are hating on us or criticizing us, we are also fighting for their freedom of speech. I mean, they are, they have the freedom to have their opinion, their thoughts, their beliefs. And so, um, when they hate on us, it’s like, that’s okay. That’s your opinion. We’re allowed to have our own opinions and beliefs. And so, uh, I don’t take it to heart at all.

(Speaker 4)
Um, behind you, you have all these signs, these wonderful, encouraging signs. Um, you and I share, I think, a similar worldview as you do. we’re always putting out signs and things on the wall. You’ve decided to not apologize for your faith at BelovedCheesecakes . com. As you’re hiring people through the process of the group interview, aka interviewing a lot of candidates, how has that helped your business, Jen, interviewing a lot of people and just knowing that, hey, not everybody’s gonna fit into a culture where I’m putting up Bible verses on my walls?

(Speaker 4)
The group interviews is probably one of my most favorite things about running Beloved Cheesecakes and learning the group interview from having you as my coach. I just had my first walkout last week, actually. And I always start with, Hi, I’m Jen, the owner founder of beloved cheesecakes. First and foremost, we love Jesus. Secondly, we love America, you do not have to know Jesus to work for us. But if you do not like America, you will not like working for us.

(Speaker 4)
It doesn’t offend me if you leave, I just have to tell you who we are. And I had a gal get up and she’s like, Yeah, I don’t think this is going to be a good fit for me.

(Speaker 2)
And which is totally fine. And I’m like, we’ll still serve you cheesecake. We still love you. Um, but you just have to know who we are. So I just, and then right at the beginning, everybody knows there’s no question. And clearly they come in our shop and they see that as well.

(Speaker 2)
I want to show this real quick. This is a copy of a book I’m editing for pastor Jackson Lawmeyer right now. Uh, and it’s on my desk and I don’t have to hide this book. I don’t have to go, Oh no, someone’s coming in my office, I should hide the book. Or this is on my desk right now. This is Rich Dad Poor Dad, The Guide to Investing.

(Speaker 2)
I was just on the Rich Dad Poor Dad podcast this week. I don’t have to hide this book and say, oh no, someone’s coming to my office. I don’t have to live in duality. Mark Batterson just sent me his book. This is the pastor of one of the largest churches in America. He’s in Washington, DC.

(Speaker 2)
I just interviewed Mark on our show this week. I don’t have to hide the book like it’s contraband. I don’t have cognitive dissonance.

(Speaker 4)
I’m not trying to appeal to everybody. And if you’re watching this, show and you feel stuck because you’re being held hostage by crazy, toxic, nefarious employees, folks, we can help you get unstuck. Jen, what would you say to anybody who has not been to one of our workshops?

(Speaker 2)
I think, and maybe I’m wrong, but I think when you came to our workshops, I think you kind of felt like you’d found your tribe or like you’d found home. How would you describe the business workshops? business workshops, it’s not a motivational workshop. That’s why I first tell everybody it is action packed, and you are going to learn the skills and the things to do in your business that will help grow and scale your business. And I think everybody should go I tell everybody about your business conference all the time. And just if they want to, they don’t even have to have you as a business coach, but just to go and learn the steps to grow their business and also to have that boldness and courage and to stand up for what they believe in and bring their values, their personal values into their business and not be afraid of that.

(Speaker 2)
So here’s what I’m doing today on today’s show. Someone says today, well, just between now and December 4th and 5th. So between now and December 4th and 5th, kind of get some mojo going. Uh, if you’re, if you’re watching today’s show or you watch the show, whenever you watch it between now and December 4th and 5th, if you will go to belovedcheesecakes . com, And you will buy any cheesecake at all. You buy any cheesecake at all for the holidays, for yourself.

(Speaker 2)
Maybe you’re trying to pack on 45 pounds before the holidays. That’s great. But you just go to BelovedCheesecakes . com. You buy a cheesecake. Buy multiple cheesecakes.

(Speaker 2)
If you’ll just text me a screenshot to verify your purchase. So you say, what do I do? Go to BelovedCheesecakes . com. You buy a cheesecake. And you want to text my cell phone number.

(Speaker 2)
This is my cell phone number. We’ll keep that very private between you and me and everybody. That’s my cell phone number, 918 -851 -0102. If you’ll just text me a proof of purchase. I’m going to enter you in for a chance to win a backstage pass to the upcoming conference Eric Trump, featuring Mel K, featuring yourself, featuring Michael Levine.

(Speaker 2)
So again, you say, I want to go to the Business Workshop. How do I do it? Go to thrivetimeshow . com. You say, I want to have a great cheesecake. How do I do it?

(Speaker 4)
Belovedcheesecakes . com. Now, if you’ll just buy anything at all from belovedcheesecakes . com and you’ll text me a proof of purchase to my cell phone number, that number is 918 -851 -0102, 918 -851 -0102. entered in for a chance to win a backstage pass to the upcoming event.

(Speaker 32)
So my final question, Jen, is if somebody is looking at buying one of your products, and they’re going, OK, I’ve never bought a Beloved Cheesecakes product before, what’s the one?

(Speaker 2)
What’s the move?

(Speaker 43)
If someone goes to your gallery, they go to the shop, what is the one thing that everybody should check out?

(Speaker 2)
What’s the one product that everybody should get? I think everybody should get the Ultimate Sampler. It’s one slice of everything that we have. And you get the two seasonals. At Christmastime, you’ll have the pumpkin and the white chocolate peppermint in that. And we tell everybody that beloved cheesecakes is a great gift to give someone that has everything.

(Speaker 2)
So that’s what we say. Look at that. Look at that. Don’t look at it too much, folks, folks. Look at it.

(Speaker 42)
Go to BelovedCheesecakes .

(Speaker 2)
com. I’m going to do it again. I’m going to BelovedCheesecakes . com. Fingers on the home row. Feeling the flow.

(Speaker 2)
Working it. Finding the shop button. Clicking the shop button. Find the ultimate sampler.

(Speaker 5)
Where is it? It’s over here to the left. I click the ultimate sampler, and there it is. What is it, half price? It’s only $89? Come on.

(Speaker 5)
This is incredible cheesecake.

(Speaker 2)
So again, Jen, thank you so much for your time. Makai, I appreciate you allowing the Ferrari of cheesecakes.

(Speaker 41)
to be available for just $89.

(Speaker 2)
Makai, I’ll give you the final word, final 30 seconds.

(Speaker 40)
What say you, sir?

(Speaker 39)
I’m glad you said that because I can’t get over enough of Clay would always tell us it’s about consistency.

(Speaker 2)
It’s about being at the grind and you develop your systems and you repeat them and you develop everything. works and you repeat it over and over and over. Regardless if you’re tired, you’re discouraged, it doesn’t matter. These systems work and if you continue to just put time into it and do it repetitively over and over and over, the fruit will come, the results will come, and you’ll be like us. How are we keeping up with all these orders? Thank you guys so much for carving out time.

(Speaker 2)
I know you have more orders to ship. Have a great day. We’ll talk to you soon. Thank you. Bye -bye. Hi, I’m Aaron Antus with Shaw Homes.

(Speaker 2)
I first heard about Clay through a mortgage lender here in town who had told me what a great job he had been doing for them. And I actually noticed he was driving a Lamborghini all of a sudden. So I was willing to listen. In my career, I’ve sold a little over $800 million in real estate. So honestly, I thought I kind of knew everything about marketing and homes. And then I met Clay, and my perception of what I knew and what I could do definitely changed.

(Speaker 2)
After doing $800 million in sales over a 15 -year career, I really thought I knew what I was doing. I’ve been managing a large team of salespeople for the last 10 years here with Shaw Homes. And, I mean, we’ve been a company that’s been in business for 35 years. We’ve become one of the largest builders in the Tulsa area, and that was without Clay. So when I came to know Clay, I really thought, man, there’s not much more I need to know, but I’m willing to listen. The interesting thing is our internet leads from our website has actually in a four month period of time has gone from somewhere around 10 to 15 leads in a month to

(Speaker 2)
180 internet leads in a month, just from the few things that he’s shown us how to implement that I honestly probably never would have come up with on my own. So I got a lot of good things to say about the system that Clay put in place with us, and it’s just been an incredible experience. I am very glad that we met and had the opportunity to work with Clay. So the interaction with the team and with Clay on a weekly basis is honestly very enlightening. One of the things that I love about Clay’s perspective on things is that he doesn’t come from my industry. He’s not somebody who’s in the home building industry.

(Speaker 2)
I’ve listened to all the experts in my field. Our company has paid for me to go to seminars, international builder shows, all kinds of places where I’ve had the opportunity to learn from the experts in my industry. But the thing that I found working with Clay is that he comes from such a broad spectrum of working with so many different types of businesses that he has a perspective that’s difficult for me to gain because I get so entrenched in what I do, I’m not paying attention to what other leading industry experts are doing. And Clay really brings that perspective for me. It is very valuable time every week when I get that hour with him. From my perspective, the reason that any business owner who’s thinking about hooking up with Thrive needs to definitely consider it is because the results that we’ve gotten in a very short period of time are honestly monumental.

(Speaker 2)
It has really exceeded my wildest expectation of what he might be able to do. I came in skeptical because I’m very pragmatic and as I’ve gone through the process over just a few few months, I’ve realized it’s probably one of the best moves we’ve ever made. I think a lot of people probably feel like they don’t need a business or marketing consultant because they maybe are a little bit prideful and like to think they know everything. I know that’s how I felt coming in. I mean, we’re a big company that’s definitely one of the largest in town.

(Speaker 14)
And so we kind of felt like we knew what we were doing.

(Speaker 2)
And I think for a lot of people, they let their ego get in the way of listening to somebody that might have a better or different perspective than theirs.

(Speaker 14)
I would just really encourage you, if you’re thinking about working with clay, I mean, the thing is, it’s month to month.

(Speaker 2)
Go give it a try and see what happens. I think in the 35 -year history of Shaw Homes, this is probably the best thing that’s happened to us. And I know if you give them a shot, I think you’ll feel the same way. I know for me, the thing I would have missed out on if I didn’t work with Clay is I would have missed out on literally an 1800 % increase in our internet leads. Going from 10 a month to 180 a month. That would have been a huge financial decision to just decide not to give it a shot.

(Speaker 2)
I would absolutely recommend Klay Clark to anybody who’s thinking about working with somebody in marketing. I would skip over anybody else you were thinking about and I would go straight to Klay and his team. I guarantee you’re not going to regret it because we sure haven’t. OK, Aaron Antis, guess who’s joining us for the December 4th and 5th, 2025 Thrive Time Show Business Growth Workshop? Santa Claus? No, we will not be joined by Santa Claus, but we will be joined by Eric Trump, the son of the 45th and now 47th President of these United States.

(Speaker 2)
And yes, Amanda Grace will be in the place. And yes, Dr. Stella Manuel will be there so you know it will go well. Yes, we have Mel K in the house. Pastor Phil and Tammy Hotson -Piller will be hosting this event at their beautiful church right there in sunny Anaheim, California. Yes, folks, make this a December to remember.

(Speaker 13)
Make this a December to remember and join us at the two day interactive business growth workshops.

(Speaker 2)
For over 20 years, folks, I’ve been hosting business growth workshops, where we’re going to teach you marketing, sales systems, human resources, accounting, social media marketing, branding, sales training, search engine optimization, accounting, workflow development, financial management, all this and more. How do you get tickets? Go to thrivetimeshow . com. Again, how do you get tickets? Go to thrivetimeshow .

(Speaker 2)
com and request tickets today. Now, Eric Trump, people don’t know this, but the Trump Organization has thousands of employees. There’s not 50 employees.

(Speaker 26)
The Trump Organization, again, most people don’t know this, but the Trump Organization has thousands of employees.

(Speaker 2)
And while Donald J. Trump was the 45th president of these United States, this just in from our home office, President Donald J. Trump is now the 47th president of these United States as well.

(Speaker 30)
I’m Ron Burgundy.

(Speaker 38)
He needed someone to run the companies for him and 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.

(Speaker 34)
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.

(Speaker 37)
I mean, everything that you see, the Trump hotels, the Trump golf courses, all their products, the man who manages billions of dollars of real estate and thousands

(Speaker 36)
employees is here to teach us how to do it.

(Speaker 2)
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, 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 gonna be amazing.

(Speaker 2)
Now, think about this for a second. Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? German? Forget it, he’s rolling. And it ain’t over now!

(Speaker 2)
The lineup continues to grow, and this is how we do our tickets here at the Thrive Time Show. If you want to get 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. 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.

(Speaker 2)
I grew up without money. I totally understand what it’s like to be in a tight spot. So if you want to attend, it’s $250, or whatever price you want to pay. That’s how I do it.

(Speaker 35)
And it’s $500 for a VIP ticket.

(Speaker 34)
have limited seating here with there’s a lot of togetherness and closeness camaraderie so again if you want to get tickets for this event all you have to do is go to thrive timeshow .

(Speaker 14)
com go to thrive timeshow . com when you go to thrive timeshow . 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 i just texted my number it’s my cell phone number my personal cell phone number we’ll keep that private between you, between you, me, everybody.

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

(Speaker 33)
And so to be bilingually sensitive, my cell phone number is

(Speaker 2)
-851 -01. Zero tip.

(Speaker 32)
That is not actually bilingual.

(Speaker 2)
That’s just saying one for a one. It’s not the same thing. 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.

(Speaker 2)
So let’s talk about it. I’ll tee up the thing and you tell me what you’re going to learn here. OK, OK. You’re going to learn marketing, marketing and branding. What are we going to learn about marketing and branding? Oh, yeah.

(Speaker 2)
We’re going to dive into, you know, so many people say, oh, you know, I got to get my brand known out there like the Trump brand. You want to get that brand? It’s like, how do I actually make people know what my business is and make it a household name? You’re going to learn some intricacies of how you can do that. You’re going to learn sales. So many people struggle to sell something.

(Speaker 2)
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, hundreds of people. throughout your career and thousands of contractors.

(Speaker 2)
And most people struggle with managing people. Why does everybody have to learn how to manage people? Well, because first of all, people are either have great people or you have people who suck. So it could 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. And we have a process we teach about about how to find great people.

(Speaker 2)
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. So we’re going to teach you branding, marketing, sales, search engine optimization. We’re going to teach you accounting. We’re going to teach you personal finance, how to manage your finance. We’re going to 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. Now, let me tell you how the format is set up here.

(Speaker 2)
And again, folks, this is a two -day interactive 15. Think about this, folks. It’s two days. Each day, it starts at 7 AM, and it goes until 5 PM. So from 7 AM to 5 PM, two days. It’s a two -day interactive workshop.

(Speaker 2)
The way we do it is we do a 30 -minute teaching session, and then we break for 15 minutes for a question and answer session. So Aaron, what kind of great stuff stuff happens during that 15 minute question and answer session after every teaching session. 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.

(Speaker 2)
And you don’t, you leave not getting your very specific questions 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.

(Speaker 30)
And it’s very specific to what your business is.

(Speaker 2)
And what we do is we allow you as the attendee to write your questions on the whiteboard. 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 this is also your opportunity to meet some of the great speakers like Pastor Dave Scarlett. You could meet Mel K. You could meet Amanda Grace. You could meet Dr. Stella Emanuel.

(Speaker 2)
You could just grab a coffee. You could find some alone time. You could get lost in the bathroom. You could try to go and get a photo with a friend. speakers, you could try to photobomb a photo where someone else is getting a photo with the speakers, you could go attempt to find your phone, wallet, and your keys. Now that’s a good idea.

(Speaker 2)
That means you have less than 3 % of our population that’s even self -employed. So you only have 3 out of every 100 people in America that are self -employed to begin with.

(Speaker 31)
And when Inc.

(Speaker 2)
Magazine reports that 96 % of businesses fail by default, By default, you have a 1 out of 1 ,000 chance of succeeding in the game of business. But yet the average client that you and I work with, we can typically double this. 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 2)
And you say, double? Yeah, there’s businesses that we have tripled. There’s businesses we’ve grown 8x.

(Speaker 29)
There’s so many examples you can see.

(Speaker 30)
see it thrivetimeshow .

(Speaker 29)
com.

(Speaker 2)
But again, this is the most interactive best business workshop on the planet. This is objectively the highest rated and most reviewed business workshop on the planet. Add to that Eric Trump, the man that runs the Trump organization. You say, Clay, I still, I’m not going to get a ticket unless you give me more. Okay, fine. We’re going to serve you the same meal both days.

(Speaker 2)
True story. We have, we cater in the food and because I keep it simple. I literally bring in the same food both days for lunch. Who’s with me? Let’s go! Come on!

(Speaker 2)
It’s an incredible Mexican restaurant. That’s going to happen. He says, I want more! This is not enough. Give me more. I’m not gonna mention their names right now because I’m working on it behind the scenes here.

(Speaker 2)
We just continue to add more and more success stories. So if you’re out there today and you want to change your life, you want to give yourself a incredible gift, You want a life -changing experience. You want to learn how to start and grow a company.

Great weather.

(Speaker 26)
Make this a December to remember.

(Speaker 2)
Eric Trump, the man who leads the Trump Organization. It’s going to be a blasty blast. There’s no upsells. Aaron, I could not be more excited about this event.

(Speaker 8)
I think it is incredible.

(Speaker 25)
And there’s somebody out there right now, you’re watching and you’re like, but I already signed up for this incredible other program called Smoke Your Way to Thin.

(Speaker 24)
You think that’s going to change your life?

(Speaker 2)
I promise you this will be 10 times better than that.

(Speaker 23)
It’s like I picked the wrong week to quit smoking.

(Speaker 2)
Don’t do the smoke your way to thin conference. That is it.

(Speaker 13)
I’ve tried it. Don’t do it. Yeah.

(Speaker 22)
Chainsmoking is not a viable.

(Speaker 13)
I mean, it is life changing. It is life changing.

(Speaker 10)
If you become a chain smoker, it is life changing. Best weight loss program. Right. Not really.

(Speaker 12)
So if you’re looking to have life changing results in a way that won’t cause you to have a stoma, get your tickets at Thrivetimeshow . com. Again, that’s Aaron Antis.

(Speaker 7)
I’m Clay Clark and reminding you and inviting you to come out to the two -day interactive Thrive Time Show Workshop in beautiful Anaheim, California.

(Speaker 15)
I’m from Sarasota, Florida.

(Speaker 20)
I’m Vince Szczewski, also from Sarasota, Florida.

(Speaker 7)
He dragged me here. Yep. I was here in 2018, and it changed my business, and I built another business. And now I’m here to do it again with this business. Yeah, I’m a brand strategist, and I’m been really easy to go to a lot of events like this and just see really what to do next.

(Speaker 7)
Already, there’s the strategic, step -by -step, real -life implementation for our business. I’m excited that Erica is here. My name is Erica, and it has been amazing being here at the conference.

(Speaker 20)
I’m learning so much. Everything is perfect for me.

(Speaker 21)
But Clay Clark, man, he is one character.

(Speaker 7)
It’s a good word for character. Yeah, that is it. Good, driven, smart. And I’ve never met a guy who was so hyper all the time. He’s doing so much good.

(Speaker 20)
And then I met his mother.

(Speaker 3)
And she just says, she just lets him be Clay Clark. I mean, so he’s endorsed by his mother. And he’s doing magnificent work. So it was great meeting you out there and all the people that he surrounds himself with. His client Clark starts his days at five o ‘clock in the morning. Oh, it’s incredible.

(Speaker 3)
Yeah, he’s he’s like, he’s he’s a machine. He’s a machine.

(Speaker 17)
But his you know, I could I have problems with my company starting at nine o ‘clock.

(Speaker 9)
Yes. Hundreds of people showing up at 5am in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Man, he’s a leader of a leader. He’s a fantastic young man.

(Speaker 3)
No, he is.

(Speaker 19)
And the greatest thing that’ll come out of all of it, aside from winning the presidency of the United States, we’ll get to that in a second, was an everlasting friendship between Clay and I, because I’m telling you, there’s not too many people in the world that have this man’s backbone and his tenaciousness and his perseverance.

(Speaker 18)
And so, buddy, I love you.

(Speaker 3)
And to General Flynn, thank you. You guys are incredible.

(Speaker 6)
You guys are incredible warriors. You guys are incredible, incredible warriors. So thank you, my friend. Clay Clark is here somewhere. Where’s my buddy Clay? Clay’s the greatest.

(Speaker 6)
I met his goats today. I met his dogs. I met his chickens. I saw his compound. He’s like the greatest guy.

(Speaker 7)
I ran from his goats, his chickens, his dogs. So this guy’s like the greatest marketer you’ve ever seen, right?

(Speaker 2)
His entire life, Clay Clark, his entire life is marketing. 4 ,000%. from February to February.

(Speaker 17)
Now, I can better that.

(Speaker 16)
Okay, Clay, I don’t think you know this.

(Speaker 3)
I don’t think you know this. I’m pinching myself, and if I cry, forgive me. In the last two and a half days, we have bettered our entire month of February in the last two and a half days. So, and the phone’s blowing up. Everything’s just blowing up. You’re right, it is like a rocket ship.

(Speaker 3)
So, we’re pinching ourselves, actually. I learned at the Academy, King’s Point in New York, Acta non verba. Watch what a person does, not what they say. We’re going to move into action mode here. So for anybody out there, if you say, I would like to go to Mar -a -Lago. Now, Jackson, you know, this just in, they raided Mar -a -Lago.

(Speaker 3)
You know about this? This just in. And so some people say, you know, that wasn’t cool. I didn’t like that. But you know, so a lot of people out there, we want to kind of stick it to The New York Times. We want Eric to become the number one best -selling author in America.

(Speaker 3)
And we also, we kind of also want to go to Mar -a -Lago and check it out. We’ve never been there before. So what we’re going to do is for anybody right now, if you go to Amazon right now and you buy a copy of Eric Trump’s book, Under Siege, My Family’s Fighter, to save our nation. So you go to Amazon right now, you buy a copy of the book, and you just text a screenshot of your proof of purchase to my cell phone number, 918 -851 -0102. So text my number, 918 -851 -0102. -851 -0102.

(Speaker 3)
So again, step one, you go here to amazon . com. You buy a copy of the book Under Siege. Then you just text a screenshot of your purchase, your proof of purchase. You text my number, 918 -851 -0102. You have a chance to win a dinner at Mar -a -Lago with Eric Trump and myself.

(Speaker 3)
And there’s more. By the way, Mar -a -Lago right there, just for your viewers, it’s most exclusive private club in the world, $2 million to get into just base membership fee. And I promise we’re going to make your night absolutely incredible. Clay goes, listen, why don’t we do this? Why don’t we put it out to all the amazing Reawaken people, all the people who supported us all around the country, all around at every one of these conferences who adore your family. We’ve got to beat the New York Times.

(Speaker 3)
The New York Times is going to do everything they can. Even though we’re number one on Amazon right now, we just hit number one this morning. New York Times is going to do everything they can to keep you from being number one bestseller.

(Speaker 2)
You know that. I know that. You know the games that they’re willing to play. But Clay goes, why don’t we do a couple of things? First of all, love having dinner with Clay.

(Speaker 1)
He’s the greatest.

(Speaker 2)
Second of all, why don’t we bring one of the amazing people that I guarantee you I’ve been in front of at all these events? Why don’t we bring a couple to dinner at Mar -a -Lago? And I said, absolutely. Consider it done. So I said, they have to text you, Clay. They can’t text me, because we’ll be getting 1 ,000 of these.

(Speaker 2)
But yeah, go buy a book. Text Clay. And we’ll set up a dinner. I’ll make sure you guys have the absolute time of your life. I want to pull this up again one more time here, Jackson, because I think sometimes I’m a poor communicator, and I need to work on communicating more effectively. So you go to Amazon.

(Speaker 2)
That’s step one, OK? Yes. You buy a copy of the book, Pop Quiz. What book?

(Speaker 15)
Under Siege.

(Speaker 2)
You buy a copy of Under Siege, and then you screenshot a picture of that, and you text my phone number. It’s 918 -851 -0102.

(Speaker 3)
Folks, that is my cell phone number.

(Speaker 2)
So we’ll keep that private between you and me and everybody. And then when you text that to me, you have a chance to win a backstage pass to the actual in -person business workshop. That’s a business growth workshop, December. and 5th, featuring Eric Trump in Anaheim, California. and you have a chance to win dinner with Eric Trump and myself at Mar -a -Lago. Now, someone says, when does this contest end?

(Speaker 2)
Now, Eric, your birthday was hijacked, OK? So your birthday was hijacked. January 6th is this man’s birthday. He now has to switch his birthday, because no one wants to talk about his birthday on January 6th anymore. So we’re going to run this promotion until November 5th. That’s my birthday.

(Speaker 2)
No, no. So we’re going to run it until October 14th. October 14th. It has to be a presale. This just in. It has to be between October 14th.

(Speaker 2)
That’s why we’re clarifying. So between now and October 14th. Now, folks, let me just clarify this real quick here, so make sure I’m leaving you with some good clarity here. One, you buy a copy of Under Siege on Amazon. That’s the step one. Step two, you text a screenshot of that purchase to my cell phone number, 918 -851 -0102.

(Speaker 2)
Three, you have to do that before October 14th. Before October 14th, this just in, it has to be before October 14th. And you have a chance to win a backstage pass to the upcoming business workshop. You have a chance to have dinner with Eric Trump at Mar -a -Lago. And I want to tell you some benefits of buying the book. One, I’ve read the book.

(Speaker 2)
It’s incredible.

(Speaker 3)
If you’re a father out there and you want to learn about mentoring your kids, it’s a great book. If you want to learn about American history, it’s a great book. If you want to make America great again, it is a great book. It’s a book you got to have. Now here is just a quick editor’s note. You do not have to buy a copy of Eric Trump’s book Under Siege to be entered into the drawing.

(Speaker 3)
Just text the number. All you have to do is just text the number 918 -851 -0102 and you will be entered into the drawing for a chance to win a copy of Eric Trump’s book Under Siege. and a once -in -a -lifetime opportunity to hang out with Eric Trump and Clay Clark at Mar -a -Lago, and win a backstage pass at the upcoming Thrivetimeshow . com two -day interactive business workshop. Again, you do not have to buy a copy of the book to be entered into the drawing, but you be great if you’d buy a copy of the book because that would make sense.

(Speaker 3)
However, that is all, and now back to the interview. Also, Eric, a final question here for you. You are donating a portion of the proceeds to support Charlie Kirk and his continued mission there. Could you tell us about that briefly there, and then we’ll let you get back to what you’re doing today, sir. Yeah, well, I was on with Benny Johnson. Benny Johnson was a great friend of Charlie Kirk’s, as you know, and you know Benny, and Benny’s a very good friend of mine, and you know, Cash Patel is a very good friend of mine, and was a very good friend of Charlie’s.

(Speaker 3)
I mean, you watch everybody that’s up on that stage every single day as they as they got to the bottom of exactly what happened and they brought justice to what happened or trying to bring justice to what happened. And it’s it’s it’s kind of unthinkable. But you know St. Jude and I talk a lot about St. Jude in this this book because it’s been you know fighting pediatric cancer has always been at you know a cornerstone of my life. But Charlie truly, truly, truly was the epitome of being under siege, not only in the movement that he helped create, but obviously in how his life was savagely taken. My book came out three days, two and a half days before Charlie’s assassination. You better believe he would have been the final chapter of this book as just another illustration of what these people will do at any cost.

(Speaker 3)
to try and win, because it’s who they are. It’s the not -so -tolerant left. And we can never let our voices be extinguished, Clay. You stood on that stage, as well as anybody I’ve ever seen stand on a stage. You did our reawakened events all across the country, which you funded out of your back pocket, because you believed in America. You believed in a greater country.

(Speaker 3)
And you were on that stage every single day. You know I was on that stage with you every single day. And I was on the turning point stage with Charlie all the time. on stages across the country and three campaigns, I’ve stood on thousands of them. And honestly, they don’t want us to stand on that stage.

(Speaker 2)
That’s why they’re sending bullets from rooftops. They don’t want us to go out there with a bullhorn and have loud, independent thought. When they see these beautiful arenas full of kids and they’re cheering, they’re celebrating, they’re holding American flags, they don’t want that. And so they want to silence us. They want to silence our voice. That’s why they killed Charlie.

(Speaker 2)
That’s why they tried to kill my father. That’s why they sent 112 subpoenas to me.

(Speaker 3)
That’s why they wanted me in jail and my father in jail and Don in jail. That’s why they made up the hoaxes.

(Speaker 9)
They wanted to see us destroyed and gone with no voice, with no money, with no company, with no political aspirations, gone. And we can’t allow that to happen. And so we need to make sure that turning point continues. We need to make sure incredible patriots like you continue to spread you know, sensical speech, pro -American values, pro -religious, pro -constitutional values. And that’s why I want to donate the funds to Turning Point. I want to donate a portion of the funds to Turning Point, because we can’t allow anarchy to win, and we can’t allow voices to be deleted, and we need to keep Charlie’s legacy going.

Eric Trump, thank you so much for joining us. Pastor Jackson, thank you so much for joining us. Absolutely. Eric, have a great day. We really do appreciate you. Everybody go out there and buy that book, Undersea.
