(Speaker 1)
Every dream comes with a bill. That’s a truth I learned early and learned well. There’s a reason some people seem to achieve so much with the same 24 hours that everyone else has. It’s not because they’re lucky. It’s not because the bill is cheaper for them. It’s because they saw the price early and decided to start paying.

(Speaker 1)
If you wait for the bill to shrink, you’ll be waiting a long time. If you wish the cost away, you’ll be wishing forever. But if you say, I accept the price, I’m ready to pay, then something magical happens. Life starts to open its doors. Not all at once, but just enough to show you that you’re on the right path. Remember, the sooner you accept the price, the sooner you can start paying it.

(Speaker 1)
And the sooner you start paying, the sooner the dream moves from fantasy to fact. There’s a law that governs all achievement, whether we acknowledge it or not. I call it the law of exchange. You can’t get something for nothing. Now, I know that sounds simple, almost too simple. But it’s amazing how many people overlook it, hoping life might make an exception for them.

(Speaker 1)
Think about it. Every advancement, every gain, every new chapter in your life begins with a trade. Success is built on the foundation of exchange. You trade comfort for progress. You trade leisure for learning. You trade old excuses for new discipline.

(Speaker 1)
The world asks, what do you have to offer? And only then does it consider what it will give you in return. Picture someone who wants a better physique. The wish is easy. but the price is set. Early mornings change routines.

(Speaker 1)
sometimes even saying no to another helping at dinner. Comfort is surrendered, but progress is gained. The couch or the track, you can’t occupy both. Or maybe you want to build a business or climb higher in your career. You look at those who’ve built something special, and it’s tempting to think they found a shortcut or a secret. But underneath the surface, every story is the same.

(Speaker 1)
They traded evenings and weekends Steady paychecks for risk. Easy tasks for the challenge of leadership. The law of exchange cannot be bypassed. Sometimes the exchange is subtle. Instead of one more hour of television, one more hour with a book. Instead of scrolling, stretching your skills.

(Speaker 1)
Instead of talking about change, doing the work. And over time, these trades accumulate into a fortune of progress. But here’s the powerful part. You get to decide what you’re willing to exchange. That’s your great privilege. Life will not force you.

(Speaker 1)
There’s no auctioneer in the sky banging the gavel and demanding your offer. You write your own check for your own future. But if you’re not happy with your present, it’s probably because the exchange you’ve been making isn’t big enough for the life you want. If you want more, you must give more. If you want different, you must trade something familiar for something new. This law is not punishment.

(Speaker 1)
It’s the best deal you’ll ever get. Because the world always gives back what you put in.

(Speaker 47)
Multiply.

(Speaker 1)
The person who gives discipline receives self -respect.

(Speaker 16)
Thank you for all you do. I hear the ripple effects from you are good ripple effects. You know what I mean? People rave about what they learn from you.

(Speaker 7)
So congratulations.

(Speaker 14)
Hi there. I just wanted to take a quick minute to thank Clay and his team at Thrivetime. I attended a conference a couple months back and it was really the best business conference I’ve ever attended. Just a ton of practical information that you can really implement in any business. I started with the coaching program a short while thereafter and we’re already ranking at the top of Google for a couple of keywords here at our firm, which is ahead of schedule and we’re super excited about that. Also, with the coaching program, these are proven business strategies that I’ve been learning about for years here.

(Speaker 14)
But where they’ve really helped is how to prioritize those strategies. As entrepreneurs, we all only have 168 hours in the week, and you know which ones are gonna move the ball down the field the quickest.

(Speaker 3)
So Clay, I know the optimist of momentum is important to you, so three, two, one, boom.

(Speaker 9)
My name is Bronson Schubert, I’m from Edmond, Oklahoma. I heard about it on the podcast, started listening to the podcast, became a fan, and then figured out about the workshop. I own an insurance and financial services agency, and I was hoping to learn from the workshop systems and processes. I’m big on systems and processes, and always learning better ways to run a business more efficiently. The atmosphere is, Second to none. It’s a high energy, really cool atmosphere to be around.

(Speaker 9)
Contagious, I would say. Just something every entrepreneur, I think, would appreciate and love. I’d say humorous, high energy, and full of substance, which I think is the key. A lot of business coaches or seminars Maybe you’re high on motivation and making you feel good, but don’t have a lot of substance that you could take back and implement, you know, the following Monday, where his does. Man, there’s a lot of valuable things.

(Speaker 9)
I’m gonna say, like, I came to, this is my second workshop. The first workshop I took back, really, the importance of a group interview. I used to spend hours and hours interviewing people, screening resumes, and that saving my time on that part is valuable. It was that and then the sales scripting that have been two major things just so far. Man, I think they’re missing out on expert advice from somebody who’s been there, done that, built companies, has learned a lot of lessons. That’s what I’m always looking for is somebody that I can learn from that’s ahead of where I am.

(Speaker 9)
And I think if you choose not to come, you’re missing out on a lot of good advice that could help your business.

(Speaker 7)
Hi, this is Charles and Amber Kolaw. We’re the owners of Kolaw Fitness. We heard about Clay Clark through Paul Hood, our CPA. We’ve worked with Clay Clark for the last two years. Clay Clark has helped us take our three locations in three different states and create checklists, workflows, task lists, time blocks for every employee. He’s helped us with creating systems and audits for every department, quantitative scorecards for each department and every position so that everybody has a number He’s been able to give us a lot of time freedom and financial freedom and peace of mind to know that everything’s running efficiently.

(Speaker 7)
And he’s been helpful with a lot of marketing, search engine optimization, helping us really rank high in Google, and pretty much every area of the business. He’s been very, very helpful.

(Speaker 17)
We would describe the experience of working with Clay as very energetic. He’s full of energy. He’s very encouraging. very motivating, but also accountable. So he keeps us accountable, and we love that accountability. It keeps our drive in the right direction, so we’re not chasing things that aren’t worth spending our time on.

(Speaker 7)
He’s a great coach. He helps push us on certain areas, helps coach us in certain areas. We’re all emotional creatures, and we go up and down, and he actually will tell us where we’re at, how we can get from there. And even emotionally, if we’re stressed about something, he’ll have a story to relate to and really It helps us in every area of our business. It’s been very, very helpful.

(Speaker 17)
I think Clay’s ability to have a whole team behind him that help him with all of his clients, all his coaching clients, is that it allows Clay to do what he’s really good at. And that’s working one -on -one with the client and coaching them.

(Speaker 15)
And then he can have his amazing staff come in and help you.

(Speaker 7)
Accomplish all these goals and of course he has all these resources whether it’s videographers or whether it’s web developers But they can quickly jump on your project knock things out. He can quickly give you the right coaching He’s just got a whole team of people that whatever area you’re lacking in In your own company. He’s got resources from like video web design Search engine guys who are just you know knowledgeable in that even though he knows a lot of that stuff he’s got these capable lieutenants that are ready to just take off and help you get that stuff done. More stuff gets done on a weekly basis than you would on like probably most individual or some other company. We’ve worked with several companies before. It’s just not as many things get done on a weekly basis.

(Speaker 7)
It’s been very helpful. Well the conferences for me, I’m a slow learner so I have to learn like over and over again, hear things over and over again. I’ve been to like I think eight different conferences, and each time you come, I learn a few new components. Some things are repetitive, but a lot of the stuff just resettles and I get a little bit more depth into each component. So, I mean, I’ve been to eight of them.

(Speaker 7)
They’re all super entertaining. He’s very funny, very encouraging. You get to kind of self -reflect a lot, and a lot of the stuff is really polarizing. You do a personal inventory of yourself, and you’ll think like, hey, I’ve really got to work on this, really hard to work on that. So every time you come I still get a lot of value out of it.

(Speaker 17)
And as much as every conference is the same, it’s totally different. So I think we’ll hear stories we haven’t heard before. They’ll have entertainment or they’ll have speakers they didn’t have before. And like you said, you just always catch a different part of the material that maybe you didn’t catch before. It’s worth it differently.

(Speaker 7)
And it’s really cool, because some people that you’ve seen like a year ago at a conference, now they’re being showcased as a success story. And you get to see their website. You get to see how their stats and all their metrics have improved and the revenue improved. So it’s really cool to see people that just a year ago that, of course, we’ve been here two years, that just came, that I met, is now being It’s really encouraging to see other people accomplish that stuff. Clay has helped us optimize our website and helped with really topping the right search engines that we need to make sure that we are very, very competitive with all of our other competitors. Basically, he outlines exactly what you need to be accomplishing and he creates tasks that we have to accomplish and his team has to accomplish.

(Speaker 7)
I would say over the last two years, we’ve totally ramped our website. We’re topping Google in every one of our markets. We’re just doing, I would say just doing really, really good. I feel very, very confident in all of our future locations and making sure that we’re in front of the ideal and likely buyers. It’s very encouraging. It’s important to me that to know when I’m working with Clay, you know, I’ve been in business for a while and met with him even when I already had three businesses in three different states and to know that what I share with him is staying private.

(Speaker 7)
He’s not sending that out to anybody else. To know that when he’s working with me, he’s only working with one other, no other gyms that are in direct competition with me. It’s very encouraging to have something you can trust. And rely on that he isn’t going to like somehow tell your trade secrets or give information away. Just really awesome that he’s a trustworthy guy, really cares about you as a client. For us, it’s been a complete mind freedom, because Clay has helped us create a lot of different documents and one sheets for every department, put quantitative scorecards to each department.

(Speaker 7)
And so for us, it’s been very encouraging. It gives us peace. Like as an entrepreneur, it’s stressful. You go to bed at night, you’re worried, like, did we cover this? Did we cover that? So he helps extract everything out of your brain, everything from your business, put it into document creation, put it into checklists and workflows for every person in each department, and make sure that everything’s getting done every week, every month, and funnel that all into KPIs, or Key Performance Indicators, as you can see, on a weekly basis, to make sure you’re moving the needle in the right area of your company.

(Speaker 7)
So very encouraging, and give you a complete mind, freedom, and peace to know that that stuff’s created, so you’re easy to duplicate and scale your company.

(Speaker 17)
Right, and then we can spend time doing what we’re really good at, and just trust the system.

(Speaker 7)
I honestly believe everybody needs a coach. I think we’re all inherently lazy, selfish, and carnal. I truly believe that humans are humans. If we’re standing, we’d rather sit. If we’re sitting, we’d rather lay down. And if we’re laying down, we’d rather be asleep.

(Speaker 7)
So to have somebody that challenges you, have real active candor, and be honest with you on every aspect of your company is a huge really encouraging to me because I want to know, I want to work on what we’re weak at. I want to see any areas that we’re not doing well in and see his perspective from a third party because you can look at your own business and just see the good. It’s good to have somebody who’s done this with hundreds of companies. You know, really look at your company, reflect on your company and see like little chinks in the armor to make sure you’re covering that up so your competition can’t and get to you and that you’re successful overall in the big picture. Yes, I would recommend Clay Clark because he is a great friend, great encourager.

(Speaker 7)
To me, he’s been a wonderful friend. He’s also, you can tell he cares. And he also, he has such a wealth of knowledge. He’s worked with so many different companies and different businesses. He could take a concept that he’s used before in the past with somebody in a totally different industry and see how it would work perfectly for you in whatever niche market you’re in or whatever type of service you’re providing. and so his brain is just a wealth of knowledge and just to have that type of perspective on you know as a part of your team and your own company is huge super valuable so I would definitely encourage people to use him but one thing is you got to be coachable you got to be wanting to get feedback you got to be wanting to really grow your company you got to want to put that extra 10 hours a week to working on your business and not just in your business and so yes I would recommend it to anybody who’s wanting to grow their company and provide great systems, checklists, workflows, great encouragement, and have accountability.

(Speaker 4)
over 800 million dollars 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. 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.

(Speaker 4)
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 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.

(Speaker 4)
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. 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.

(Speaker 4)
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. 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 months, I’ve realized it’s probably one of the best moves we’ve ever made.

(Speaker 4)
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. And so we kind of felt like we knew what we were doing. 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. 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 4)
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 4)
I would absolutely recommend Clay 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 Clay and his team. I guarantee you’re not going to regret it because we sure haven’t.

(Speaker 2)
My name is Danielle Sprick, and I am the founder of D. Sprick Realty Group here in Tulsa, Oklahoma. After being a stay -at -home mom for 12 years and my three kids started school and they were in school full -time, I was at a crossroads and trying to decide, what do I want to do? My degree and my background is in education, but after being a mom and staying home and all of that, I just didn’t have a passion for it like I once did. My husband suggested real estate. He’s a home builder, so real estate and home building go hand in hand, and we just rolled with it. I love people, I love working with people, I love the building relationships, but one thing that was really difficult for me was the business side of things.

(Speaker 2)
The processes and the advertising and marketing, I knew that I did not have what I needed to make that what it should be. So I reached out to Clay at that time and he and his team have been extremely instrumental in helping us build our brand. help market our business, our agents, the homes that we represent. Everything that we do is a direct line from Clay and his team and all that they’ve done for us. We launched our brokerage our real estate brokerage eight months ago. And in that time we’ve gone from myself and one other agent to just this week we signed on our 16th agent.

(Speaker 2)
We have been blessed with the fact that we right now have just over 10 million in pending transactions. Three years ago, I never would have even imagined that I would be in this role that I’m in today, building a business, having 16 agents. But I have to give credit where credit’s due. And Clay and his team and the business coaching that they’ve offered us has been huge. It’s been instrumental in what we’re doing. Don’t ever limit your vision.

(Speaker 46)
When you dream big, big things happen.

(Speaker 7)
I started a business because I couldn’t work for anyone else. I do things my way. I do what I think is in the best interest of the patient. I don’t answer to insurance companies. I don’t answer to large corporate organizations. I answer to my patient, and that’s it.

(Speaker 7)
My thought when I opened my clinic was I can do this all myself. I don’t need additional outside help in many ways. I mean, I went to medical school.

(Speaker 8)
I can figure this out. But it was a very, very steep learning curve. Within the first six months of opening my clinic, I had a $63 ,000 investment. I lost multiple employees. Clay helped us weather the storm of some of the things that are just a lot of people experience, especially in the medical world. He was instrumental in helping with the specific written business plan.

(Speaker 8)
He’s been instrumental in hiring good quality employees. using the processes that he outlines for getting in good talent, which is extremely difficult. He helped me in securing the business loans. He helped me with web development and search engine optimization. We’ve been able to really keep a steady stream of clients coming in because they found us on the web. With everything that I encountered, everything that I experienced, I quickly learned it is worth every penny to have someone in your team that can walk you through and even avoid some of the pitfalls that are almost invariable in starting your own business.

(Speaker 8)
I’m Dr. Chad Edwards and I own Revolution Health and Wellness Clinic.

(Speaker 16)
Clay, my honor, my honor to be on your show and thank you for all you do. I hear The ripple effects from you are good ripple effects. You know what I mean?

(Speaker 6)
People rave about what they learn from you.

(Speaker 7)
So congratulations.

(Speaker 13)
just the accountability of meeting up with them weekly and such good insight, the resources they have for specific business questions. It’s all been really incredible. It’s been a great experience. So I would recommend it to anybody.

(Speaker 18)
And to be honest with you, I were just

(Speaker 12)
we’re blown away with the results we’ve had in just one quarter.

(Speaker 7)
It was one of the best things I’ve ever done. It freed my time, increased our sales, and at the end of the day, increased our profitability beyond my wildest expectations.

(Speaker 18)
It’s been a significant investment, but it’s the best money I’ve ever spent. It’s been a very positive experience. We’ve only been at it for six months or so, and we’ve already seen a significant amount of growth, and I can see everything becoming much more organized, much more efficient. I know what my numbers are in a much more realistic way on a day -to -day basis. So my experience has just been very positive overall.

(Speaker 12)
You know, since working with Aaron, our leads have gone up dramatically. It’s not one of those things where it’s like, yeah, I kind of noticed, it’s holy cow, we’re all these, it’s crazy. You almost feel overwhelmed at times. And it’s just our presence in general has been changed just dramatically. Like Clay, he was dropping his wife off at the airport and he had his Flint Rock hat on and there was some other construction companies there and they asked him, it’s like, where the heck did you guys come from? You guys are everywhere now.

(Speaker 12)
And it’s, you just can’t get away from how noticeable of a difference that it makes. There’s just, there’s no denying it. You know, just on a personal level, as far as what it’s like to work with Aaron, he is just a consummate professional and just with an immense amount of dedication to the task at hand and just to you as a company, trying to help you succeed. And, you know, I think I’ve said this before, but his just availability to you, he’s genuinely invested in your success. And it’s just, it’s been wonderful.

(Speaker 20)
And I feel like that’s why the two of you work great together. Joe, to me, obviously the more technical, you’re probably the more visionary. and the two of it coming together is what makes it work. It’s like a missing piece for us that I enjoy having.

(Speaker 2)
I’m Amy Chaney. My husband and I are owners of Chaney Construction here in Tampa, Texas. And I was a little skeptical at first because my husband’s tried to do things like this before. But once I was able to speak with Clay myself, I thought, we need to give this a chance. So we were able to determine that the savings that we have from the decision that we made each month is gonna be roughly about $2 ,000 a week, so that’s about eight grand a month. Plus we also made the decision to get rid of a billboard that hadn’t really brought us any business, and that was another $475 a month.

(Speaker 2)
It’s really gonna $8 ,500 a month, and that’s a really big deal. So my first thoughts when Clay introduced us to the weekly Know Your Numbers system was, No big deal. We don’t need to do that. We have a secretary that’s an amazing QuickBooks person and so she enters all of that stuff every single day for us. So we don’t need to do that ourselves. QuickBooks will pull a report.

(Speaker 2)
That’s all we need. We don’t need anything else. There’s no sense in me double duty. You know, Clay, do you understand how many transactions are in our bank statement every single month? It would take me forever to do. And so very resistant because I thought we already know our numbers.

(Speaker 2)
We already have everything into QuickBooks and we already know what we need to know and we can pull a report to provide you with that information. So some of the struggles and being able to complete this action item were getting the want to do it. Once I actually decided, okay, Clay, you can stop asking me. I’m actually going to sit down and do this every single week and actually got through it. that was it. Like I’ve made that commitment. It takes me maybe 20 minutes on you know every Saturday morning to go in and do the previous weeks and now that I’ve been doing it for a while I’m kind of on a roll and so it makes it a lot easier.

(Speaker 2)
So one of the things we discovered when we started looking at the money this closely was that My husband doesn’t want to know the numbers, first of all. He pays good money to have someone do that for him because he just doesn’t want to know. It’s not his thing. And so, I had worked for an accountant previous to this, so that’s kind of my thing. So for him to be able to sit down and take a look and see some of the things we’re spending the money on that he probably didn’t even realize or to realize how much we’ve been paying some employees that were not operating as A -players. And that was the big eye -opener for my husband.

(Speaker 2)
But when he saw the numbers of what we were paying in payroll expenses for two team members that were not operating as A -players, who hadn’t been for quite some time, that was a huge eye -opener for him. And he realized that he needed to take that emotion out of that decision and make it a business decision. It’s accountability for your secretary as well, or your bookkeeper, whoever does your books, especially if it’s not yourself, because if you’ve not ever had anybody and bezel money from you, then you’re very fortunate. And so it’s really good to have that accountability. We’ve had that happen in the past to us. And so my secretary actually even came back to me and said, hey, Amy, I really appreciate that you’re doing this now, because now at the end of the month, if there’s not any money, then you know exactly where the money is.

(Speaker 2)
You and Jimmy have known exactly where the money is gone. So we’re not coming to her going, where’s all our money? Because that’s not a good position for her to be in either. So, like I said, just knowing where your dons are going is a huge deal, and being able to know where to cut back from, that’s a big deal, but also the accountability for everyone on your team. My name is Danielle Sprick, and I am the founder of D. Sprick Realty Group here in Tulsa, Oklahoma. After being a stay -at -home mom for 12 years and my three kids started school and they were in school full -time, I was at a crossroads and trying to decide, what do I want to do?

What I’ve seen from Clay and his group at Thrive is they’ll give you a simple system and it’s the simple systems are the ones that people can wrap their brain around. They’re the ones that people can work with on a day -to -day basis.

(Speaker 5)
Hi there, my name is Stephanie Pipkin. I am 24 years old and I own Black River Falls Cleaning Services. We opened in April of 2019 and it is now mid -June of 2020. So I wanted to talk today about the success and growth I have achieved by implementing the Proven Path with Clay Clark’s team and my business coach, Luke, from Thrive Time. It has been insane, to say the least. I started working with them in mid -February of this year, so we’re about four months in of working together and it has really completely transformed my business in pretty much every facet.

(Speaker 5)
So I’m gonna check my notes here. So in four months, my leads have tripled. I was getting probably like two leads a week, now I’m getting more in the like 10 to 15 leads a week. I have doubled my number of employees. I’m now hitting the highest revenue weeks in the history of the company, week to week it seems like. We went from about six appointments today as our highest in February to now 14 to 15 appointments a day.

(Speaker 5)
And hiring quality employees has become much simpler and less stressful by using their systems for hiring. I typically only get maybe two complaints a month, if that, and everybody shows up to work. I just have really high quality employees now. especially in something people typically consider a high turnover type of work, you know, cleaning houses, cleaning businesses. I have amazing employees now and I get rid of the ones who are not so amazing and bring on new ones because of, you know, group interviews and interviewing every single week. It’s just been great and such a I don’t waste as much time on low quality candidates anymore.

(Speaker 5)
And your coach will hold you accountable, which I love. Again, the tough love is really great. Luke’s like a stern father figure, but he’s also nice, but also stern when he needs to be when I’m being lazy and not doing the things that I know I need to do because I don’t want to do them. So that’s just great. Worth every penny. I’d pay him a million dollars a month if I can, and maybe someday I’ll be able to, but I would just say go for it if it seems like it.

(Speaker 5)
a good fit, just go for it. Do what they say, even if you think it’s stupid or ridiculous, just do what they say because it’ll work. You know, people, when they look at my business, you know, people in my town, they think I’m lucky. They think I’m just, you know, things just happen for me. And you know, maybe I am lucky, but it has a lot to do with hard work and, you know, perseverance and, you know, work until you cry sometimes. That’s just being an entrepreneur, which if you’re a business owner, you understand that.

(Speaker 5)
But it’s having these systems in place of, you know, of course I’m going to be successful. It’s an absolute because I have all this stuff in the background happening. And I have Luke and Clay and everybody on their team working really hard to make sure that I’m a success. And I can tell that they are just so excited every single week when I’m having all these wins and things like that. They’re so excited for me. So it’s the best thing ever and I would suggest to anybody to work with them.

(Speaker 5)
So sorry for the long -winded reply, but I just had so much to say, and I could go on for hours probably about how amazing they are. But thank you to clay and Luke and the entire team there everything you guys have done for me And I am so excited to continue to work with you For years to come.

(Speaker 6)
Thanks so much for watching My saying is if it’s important to you hire a coach and I think that’s one of the reasons people are not successful as they you know, they eat a cheeseburger instead of hiring a coach, you know, I mean and so My coach pushes me.

(Speaker 16)
They’re younger than me.

(Speaker 6)
They push harder. They’re trained. And as my rich dad always said, you know, amateurs don’t have a coach, but professionals always have coaches. So I’ve always had coaches for whatever was important. My rich dad was one of those persons. I wanted to learn how to play Monopoly in real life.

(Speaker 16)
So he was my coach.

(Speaker 4)
Well, Carter, we have an opportunity here at The Thrive Time Show to work with some really great business owners, people that are actually serious about growing their company. They go to thrivetimeshow . com, and they reach out to schedule a free 13 -point assessment. And oftentimes, I hop on the phone with these folks, and we figure out if they’re a good fit. And once we start working with a client, our goal is to help the client to actually grow their actual business. And on today’s show, we’re joined with a man who we’ve had the opportunity to work with.

(Speaker 4)
The company is called NWA Gutter Perfection. And my understanding, Carter, is that they’re up over 60%. Is that right? I would say that’s correct, yes. DJ, welcome on to The Thrive Time Show.

(Speaker 6)
How are you, sir?

(Speaker 13)
Good.

(Speaker 6)
How are you doing, Clay?

(Speaker 4)
I’m doing great.

(Speaker 19)
So for anybody out there who is doubting whether you’re a hologram or not, what’s the name of your company, sir?

(Speaker 6)
Dutter Perfection.

(Speaker 19)
How did you guys first hear about us? Do you know? Actually, a friend of mine found out about your company. conferences there, and then we went there.

(Speaker 4)
And I guess I was sold the first conference we went to. If you go to nwagutterperfection . com, you can see they’re a real company. They’re a real business. They really are growing. What markets do you service there, DJ?

(Speaker 13)
For people out there that might be looking for your services, what’s the market area that you service?

(Speaker 4)
Pretty much all in Northwest Arkansas, Bentonville, Springdale, Fayetteville, Rogers, the little surrounding towns there, too. And again, if you go to the website here, folks, nwagutterperfection .

(Speaker 3)
com, you can see they are a real business, real people having real success.

(Speaker 16)
DJ, I really do appreciate your time today, sir.

(Speaker 7)
And we’ll talk to you soon. What I’ve seen from Clay and his group at Thrive is they’ll give you a simple system. And it’s the simple systems are the ones that people can wrap their brain around. They’re the ones that people can work with on a day -to -day basis. And that simplicity brings power with it. So it shocked me how simple some of the stuff is.

(Speaker 7)
And at times, I’m like, why did not think about that? Workflow creation, systematic marketing and coaching has helped our church so much. You know, the workflow creation is what it really is, is they’re going to look and see every moving part of your church, of your ministry, what needs to be done. And it’s going to go up on a massive board. And so now what it does is it takes what you know needs to be done out of your heart and out of your head, really takes the pressure, the stress off your shoulders. And it puts it on the board where your entire team, your ministry can see exactly what you want.

(Speaker 7)
them to do every day. So they know this is the playbook. This is what we’re doing.

(Speaker 8)
And then there’s a laser sharp accountability with a meeting afterwards.

(Speaker 16)
Did it get done or not. Clay you’re an entrepreneur. I’m an entrepreneur. And as this say in Stoic, the obstacle is the way. I think YouTube is a tremendous educational platform for good and bad.

(Speaker 16)
So you’ve got to really choose your teachers wisely as anything else. So the biggest, best lesson sits in the back here.

(Speaker 6)
And I think you do it and Dr. Z does it.

(Speaker 4)
Once you learn something, if you really want to learn it, you got to teach it.

(Speaker 16)
I think it was a life changing for me and how I approach business. Could you explain Okta Nonverba, what it means and how our listeners can apply it? Clay, you gave me goosebumps, man. I’m glad it hit you as hard as it did. Okta Nonverba is the motto of the U . S.

(Speaker 6)
Merchant Marine Academy at Kingspoint, New York.

(Speaker 10)
I had appointments with Naval Academy and Kingspoint Merchant Marine Academy. And Merchant Marine Academy’s motto was Okta Nonverba. In other words, don’t listen to what a person says, watch what they do. Well, the first time that I ever met you, Clay, was at that first conference in Tulsa. And that was an incredible conference. And I was so impressed with just the whole thing, just the professionalism, you as a person, your business, your work ethic, and really just who you are.

(Speaker 10)
And I was very impressed with all of that. And I thought, gosh, you know, this might be someone that I would really consider working with. Like, maybe he could really help me. And that’s really what got me interested because I was so impressed with just the professionalism of all of it. And I learned a lot. I come about once a year to a business conference, and I’d like to come more, but every year I try to come with my marketing girl with me.

(Speaker 10)
And we always learn something.

(Speaker 4)
We always learn something. And I think next year I’m going to bring my husband.

(Speaker 5)
because he really needs to come too.

(Speaker 4)
And you’re in McKinney, Texas, right?

(Speaker 10)
So how long have you been an orthodontist in McKinney, Texas?

(Speaker 45)
So I’ve been an orthodontist for 26 years, practicing in McKinney.

(Speaker 10)
And when you went to medical school, what percentage of the time in medical school or dentistry school, dental school, did they spend teaching you how to market and or grow your own practice?

(Speaker 4)
Absolutely zero. Zero? Zero marketing skills. OK, OK.

(Speaker 10)
And from when I talk to Andrew, you’re the coach who works with you, I’m always hearing that more and more patients are coming in from Google. Could you talk about that? How much of an impact does it have having maybe a rebranded or updated website and Google leads coming in? It has had a huge difference, absolutely huge difference in our patient load coming in. And before, I really wasn’t tracking really well. And that’s one of the things I learned from Thrive Time Business was how to track patients coming in.

(Speaker 10)
how to really, how to see where they’re coming from. And at the time, I really didn’t know much about Google and, you know, being an orthodontist for 26 years, I didn’t really know a lot of, I kind of went through a time where I went through shock. It was really what I call culture shock because the old ways of marketing were not working anymore. And because I really didn’t know about online marketing, I really didn’t, I was still doing, you know, phone book ads and magazine ads and all of these things. And so, Thrive Time has really helped.

(Speaker 6)
And I will say that it’s a process. It doesn’t happen overnight.

(Speaker 44)
But if you stay the course, you’re going to see results.

(Speaker 16)
My saying is, if it’s important to you, hire a coach. And I think that’s one of the reasons people are not successful is they eat a cheeseburger instead of hiring a coach. You know what I mean? And so my coach pushes me. They’re younger than me. They push harder.

(Speaker 16)
They’re trained. And as my rich dad always said, you know, amateurs don’t have a coach, but professionals always have coaches. So I’ve always had coaches for whatever was important.

(Speaker 13)
My rich dad was one of those persons. I wanted to learn how to play Monopoly in real life. So he was my coach. expecting maybe $250 ,000 this year to we’re at $400 ,000. Hi, I’m Kelsey with K &D’s Wood refinishing, business owner at 23. So I’ve been working this K &D’s company for about five years now and we started working with Thrive not too long ago.

(Speaker 13)
We went from expecting maybe $250 ,000 this year to we’re at $400 ,000. That’s what we’re going to hit or exceed. So we’re pretty excited about that. It’s been pretty much just listening to what they have to say their hiring process has just really been incredible as far as finding good quality help and the just the accountability of meeting up with them weekly and like such good insight, the resources that they have for specific business questions.

(Speaker 12)
It’s all been really incredible.

(Speaker 7)
It’s been a great experience. So I would recommend it to anybody.

(Speaker 43)
And to be honest with you, we’re just, we’re blown away with the results we’ve had in just one quarter.

(Speaker 18)
It was one of the best things I’ve ever done. It freed my time, increased our sales, and at the end of the day, increased our profitability beyond my expectations. wildest expectations. It’s been a significant investment, but it’s the best money I’ve ever spent. It’s been a very positive experience.

(Speaker 12)
We’ve only been at it for six months or so, and we’ve already seen a significant amount of growth, and I can see everything becoming much more organized, much more efficient. I know what my numbers are in a much more realistic way on a day -to -day basis. So my experience has just been very positive overall. You know, since working with Aaron, our leads have gone up dramatically. It’s, it’s not one of those things where it’s like, yeah, I kind of notice it’s, it’s holy cow. We’re all these, it’s, it’s, it’s, You almost feel overwhelmed at times.

(Speaker 12)
And it’s just our presence in general has been changed just dramatically. Like Clay, he was dropping his wife off at the airport and he had his Flint Rock hat on and there was some other construction companies there and they asked him, it’s like, where the heck did you guys come from? You guys are everywhere now. And it’s, you just can’t get away from how noticeable of a difference that it makes.

(Speaker 8)
There’s just, there’s no denying it.

(Speaker 20)
You know, just on a personal level, as far as what it’s like to work with Aaron, he is just just a consummate professional and just with an immense amount of dedication to to the task at hand and to and just to you as a company trying to help you succeed. And, you know, I think I’ve said this before, but his just availability towards to you, just he’s genuinely invested in your success. And it’s just it’s been wonderful.

(Speaker 2)
And I feel like that’s why the two of you work great together. Joe, to me, like, obviously, like, the more tactical, the more visionary, and that’s like the two of it coming together is what makes it work. And it’s like a missing piece for us that I enjoy having.

(Speaker 6)
My husband and I are owners of Chaney Construction here in Tampa, Texas. And I was a little skeptical at first because my husband’s tried to do things like this before. But once I was able to speak with Clay myself, I thought it was great. Okay, Tyler, on part one of today’s show, we were talking about how to make more money, and I think a lot of entrepreneurs like to know how to make more money. However, you have to ask, it’s not about how much money you make, it’s about how much money you keep. It’s not about how much money you make, it’s about how much money you keep.

(Speaker 6)
And so, Tyler, for some reason, I don’t know what it is, and you’re the guy. card king. People come to you from all over the country for credit card processing, and you do a great job.

(Speaker 8)
Your company integrated payment services. Why is it that most entrepreneurs don’t want to talk about the bottom line or the money or their expenses? What is that? Yeah, you know, I actually, I visited with a, I visited with a company yesterday. They’re like a tractor supply company. They’re based out of Ohio and their owner’s a little older and they hadn’t looked at their credit card processing in 20 plus years.

(Speaker 8)
And whenever I asked them, Hey, why have you guys not looked at this?

(Speaker 6)
Like, this is a huge expense, you know, expense line item because of how much volume you guys do. And they, you know, their answer was just kind of, Hey, you know, we got set up with it. We just kind of thought that, you know, These, you know, these rates are what they are and, you know, which is just something that we have to pay and they, I don’t, I don’t think they really understood that they could they could go out and and really and really find a better option. I think a lot of entrepreneurs are so busy they don’t sometimes think about their proforma, their projection of future performance, or the numbers, or the math. And I think one of the biggest areas that’s overlooked or missed is credit card processing. I mean, the vast majority of transactions done today in the world are done via a debit card or a credit card, right?

(Speaker 6)
The usage of cash goes down and down each and every year. But people don’t typically compare rates. Now, what I’m telling our listeners out there is I’ve worked with your company for years and years. partners, and the relationship that you and I have, full disclosure, it’s month -to -month. I’ve worked with you on a month -to -month basis for years to process our credit cards. Tell us about the solutions that you offer there at Integrated Payment Services.

(Speaker 6)
If someone’s watching this show right now, how can the average person save $3 ,000 a year or more simply by going to Thrivetimeshow .

(Speaker 8)
com forward slash credit dash card. getting on a call with you. How How can the average listener save $3 ,000 simply by comparing rates with you guys? Yeah, I mean, there were a couple of questions there. So how can they save, um, you know, as you, I mean, you’ve done business with us now for a long time, you know, you’re a, you’re a value client of ours. And, you know, I, I got to tell people a lot.

(Speaker 8)
I’m like, you know, call our call our customers and ask them like with the way that the way that we do it is we price you as aggressively as possible from the beginning. And we hope to do business with you for the the existence of your account. We don’t we don’t we’ve never done a rate increase. We don’t do rate increases. We don’t do annual fees or any of those things, none of that stuff you’re going to get here. And we’re month to month, so we’re always proving ourselves every month to our customers.

(Speaker 8)
Now, what products and services do we have?

(Speaker 6)
We can offer any way that you can think of taking a payment, whether it be from your phone to your website. Maybe you need like a some way to take payments through your computer or send out invoicing or take payments through invoicing or you needed a way to integrate with QuickBooks or you need a way to integrate with your software. We have all of the tools that you would ever need when it comes to accepting cashless payments.

(Speaker 4)
So let’s pull it up here one more time for anybody out there that wants to see it.

(Speaker 11)
It’s Thrivetimeshow . com forward slash credit dash card. Tell the listeners out there about a recent example where you sat down with someone, you kind of mentioned that when we started, but somebody you sat down, they’re a business owner, you compared rates and you said, wow, upon further review, sir or ma ‘am, you could be saving well over $3 ,000 a year simply by switching to a new credit card processor. Yeah, we had one yesterday. So it’s a local to Oklahoma, it’s an irrigation company. And they currently use a product called Service Titan.

(Speaker 11)
We’ve been trying to get them to look at our field services app for many years, and they finally gave it a look. They finally looked at everything that we have. There is going to be a little bit of conversion, but ultimately they’re actually going to save about $35 ,000 a year. Now, there will be some conversion on moving them and there will be a little bit of learning curve with the new software that we’re moving them to, but the software is cheaper.

(Speaker 6)
It does everything that they needed and more. Ultimately, once it’s implemented, they’re going to save $35 ,000 a year. Now, that’s an extreme case with savings, but those types of cases are out there. Final question I have for you. Again, you’re month to month. You’re a service that I use.

(Speaker 11)
You save people a lot of money. What is it that sets apart your company, Integrated Payment Services? What makes you guys unique versus your typical standard competition who operates in the same credit card processing space that you do? Sure, I mean, I think month to month is a big one. Other companies now are starting to jump on board and do that.

(Speaker 7)
We’ve done that since the existence that we’ve been around.

(Speaker 11)
We never do rate increases, which that’s becoming more and more common. you know, every year, every three years or whatever, you know, there’ll be a statement go out and there’ll be a little memo on your statement that says, oh, there’s some new fees coming here and this, but we’ve never done that. And, you know, we’re in the U . S.

(Speaker 6)
, you know, our support is local. We’re based right here in Tulsa, Oklahoma. You know, whenever you dial the number to reach our office, you’re getting someone on our support team that you can actually visit with and take care of your problem. Tyler Carson, you’re a beautiful man. I appreciate you joining us.

(Speaker 1)
And for anybody out there, again, you’re looking for a credit card processor you can trust, check out thrivetimeshow .

(Speaker 30)
com forward slash credit dash card.

(Speaker 42)
Tyler, take care.

(Speaker 41)
Have a great day.

(Speaker 4)
We’ll talk to you next time. See See you guys. Okay, Aaron Antus, guess who’s joining us for the December 4th and 5th, 2025 Thrivetimeshow Business Growth Workshop. Who, 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 4)
And yes, Amanda Grace will be in the place. And yes, Dr. Stella Manuel will be there, so you know it will go well.

(Speaker 6)
Yes, we have Mel Kay in the house. Pastor Phil and Tammy Hodson -Piller will be hosting this event at their beautiful church right there in sunny Anaheim, California. Yes, folks, make this a December to remember. He’s fresh. Make this a December to remember and join us at the two -day interactive Business Growth Workshops. 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.

(Speaker 6)
How do you get tickets? Go to thrivetimeshow . com. Again, how do you get tickets? Go to thrivetimeshow . com.

(Speaker 6)
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. The Trump Organization, again, most people don’t know this, but the Trump Organization has thousands of employees. 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. I’m Ron Burgundy.

(Speaker 6)
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. 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 products, the man who manages Billions of dollars of real estate and thousands of employees is here to teach us how to do it. You are talking about one of the greatest brands on the planet from a business standpoint.

(Speaker 6)
I mean, who else has been able to create a brand like the Trump brand? I mean, look at it.

(Speaker 4)
And this is the man behind the business for the last pretty much since 2015.

(Speaker 6)
He’s been the man behind it.

(Speaker 34)
So you’re talking, we’re into nine going into 10 years of him running it. And we get to tap into that knowledge.

(Speaker 40)
That’s going to be amazing.

(Speaker 35)
Now think about this for a second.

(Speaker 39)
Nothing is over until we decide it is.

(Speaker 38)
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

(Speaker 6)
German? Forget it. He’s rolling. And it ain’t over now. 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.

(Speaker 6)
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. I grew up without money. I totally understand what it’s like to be in a tight spot.

(Speaker 6)
So if you want to attend, it’s $250 or whatever price you want to pay. That’s how I do it. And it’s $500 for a VIP ticket. 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 . com go to thrive timeshow . com when you go to thrive timeshow .

(Speaker 6)
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 whatever that private between you. Between you, me, everybody. We’ll keep that private. And anybody, don’t share that with anybody except for everybody.

(Speaker 4)
That’s my private cell phone number.

(Speaker 37)
It’s 918 -851 -0102.

(Speaker 4)
918 -851 -0102. I know we have a lot of Spanish -speaking people that attend these conferences.

(Speaker 36)
And so to be bilingually sensitive, my cell phone number is 918 -851 -0102.

(Speaker 4)
Zero tip. That is not actually bilingual. 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.

(Speaker 4)
Now, what kind of stuff will you learn at the Thrive Time Show Workshop?

(Speaker 6)
So, Aaron, you’ve been to many of these over the past seven, eight years.

(Speaker 30)
So let’s talk about it.

(Speaker 4)
I’ll tee up the thing and then you tell me what you’re going to learn here. OK? OK. You’re going to learn marketing, marketing and branding.

(Speaker 6)
What are we going to learn about marketing and branding? Oh, yeah. 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. Right.

(Speaker 4)
You want to get that brand. 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. This just in, your business will go to hell if you can’t sell.

(Speaker 4)
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 and most people struggle with managing people. Why does everybody have to learn how to manage people?

(Speaker 4)
Well, because first of all, people are, you 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. out how to. find great people.

(Speaker 4)
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.

(Speaker 4)
How do you manage your time? How do you get more done during a typical day?

(Speaker 6)
How do you build an organization if you’re not organized? How do you do organization?

(Speaker 4)
How do you build an org chart?

(Speaker 35)
Everything that you need to know to start and grow a business will be taught during this two -day interactive business workshop.

(Speaker 4)
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.

(Speaker 4)
and it goes until 5 p . m. So from 7 a . m. to 5 p . m.

(Speaker 4)
, 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 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.

(Speaker 4)
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 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 6)
And then we literally, as you mentioned, we answer every single question on the whiteboard.

(Speaker 34)
And then we take a 15 minute break to stretch.

(Speaker 4)
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. You could just grab a coffee. You could find some alone time. You could get lost in the bathroom.

(Speaker 4)
You could try to go and get a photo with one of the 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. 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, and when Inc.

(Speaker 6)
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 this.

(Speaker 3)
I’m just no, no, no hyperbole, no exaggeration.

(Speaker 6)
I have thousands of testimonials to back this up. We have thousands of testimonials to back it up.

(Speaker 34)
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 6)
Yeah.

(Speaker 4)
Double.

(Speaker 6)
And you say double.

(Speaker 33)
Yeah.

(Speaker 3)
No, he is. And the greatest thing that will come out of all of it, aside from

(Speaker 15)
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. And so, buddy, I love you. And to General Flynn, thank you. You guys are incredible. You guys are incredible warriors. You guys are incredible, incredible warriors.

(Speaker 6)
I saw his compound. He’s like the greatest guy. I ran from his goats, his chickens, his dogs. So this guy’s like the greatest marketer you’ve ever seen, right? His entire life, Clay Clark, his entire life is marketing. 4 ,000 % from February to February.

(Speaker 6)
Now I can better that. 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. And the last two and a half days we have bettered our entire month of February and the last two and a half days. So and the phone’s blown up. Everything’s just blown up. Well you’re right.

(Speaker 3)
It is like a rocket ship. So we’re pinching ourselves. Actually I learned at the Academy King’s Point in New York Octa nonverbal. 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 they this just in they rated mar -a -lago 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 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 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 Fight to Save Our Nation.

(Speaker 3)
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. 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.

(Speaker 3)
You have a chance to win a dinner at Mar -a -Lago with Eric Trump and myself, and there’s more. right there just for your viewers. It’s the 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?

(Speaker 3)
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. The New York Times is going to do everything they can.

(Speaker 6)
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. You know that. I know that. You know the games that they’re willing to play.

(Speaker 1)
But Clay goes, why don’t we do a couple of things?

(Speaker 6)
First of all, love having dinner with Clay. He’s the greatest. 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.

(Speaker 6)
So I said, they have to text you, Clay. They can’t text me, because we’ll be getting 1 ,000 of these. 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.

(Speaker 6)
I want to pull this up again one more time here, Jackson. I think sometimes I’m a poor communicator, and I need to work on communicating more effectively. So you go to Amazon.

(Speaker 25)
That’s step one, OK?

(Speaker 3)
Yes.

(Speaker 6)
You buy a copy of the book, Pop Quiz.

(Speaker 3)
What book?

(Speaker 6)
Under Siege. 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. Folks, that is my cell phone number, 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.

(Speaker 6)
That’s a business growth workshop, December 4th 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? Now, Eric, your birthday was hijacked, OK? So your birthday was hijacked. January 6th is this man’s birthday.

(Speaker 6)
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. No, no. So we’re going to run it until October 14th. October 14th.

(Speaker 6)
It has to be a presale. This just in. It has to be between October 14th. That’s why we’re clarifying. So between now and October 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.

(Speaker 6)
That’s the step one. Step two, you text a screenshot of that purchase to my cell phone number, 918 -851 -0102. 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.

(Speaker 4)
You have a chance to have dinner with Eric Trump at Mar -a -Lago.

(Speaker 3)
And I want to tell you some benefits of buying the book. One, I’ve read the book. It’s incredible. 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.

(Speaker 3)
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. 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 to win a backstage pass at the upcoming Thrivetimeshow .com

(Speaker 3)
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 it would be great if you’d buy a copy of the book because that would make sense. 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 in his continued mission there. Could you tell us about that briefly there?

(Speaker 3)
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 Kash Patel is a very good friend of mine and was a very good friend of Charlie’s. you watch everybody else 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.

(Speaker 3)
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 that’s been, you know, fighting pediatric cancer has always been, 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. to try and win because it’s who they are.

(Speaker 3)
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 reawaken events all across the country, which you funded out of your back pocket because you believed in America. You believed in a greater And you were on that stage every single day.

(Speaker 3)
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. And I was on stages across the country in three campaigns.

(Speaker 6)
I’ve stood on thousands of them. And honestly, they don’t want us to stand on that stage. 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.

(Speaker 6)
They want to silence our voice. That’s why they killed Charlie.

(Speaker 3)
That’s why they tried to kill my father. That’s why they sent 112 subpoenas to me. 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. 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, you know, pro -religious, pro -constitutional values. And that’s why I want to donate the funds to Turning Point. I want to donate, you know, a portion of the funds to Turning Point because we can’t allow, 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. Just not too early to buy your Christmas gifts.

And if you have a Democrat in your family, buy them a copy as well. Eric Trump, take care. Thanks, guys. See you later.
