(Speaker 25)
My name is Troy Dewell and the company is Centurion Health.

(Speaker 22)
So you can go to centurion.health and read all about us.

(Speaker 2)
You have an online supplement company and again, not putting your financials out there for the world to see, but you’ve had some tremendous growth over the past couple of years. What kind of growth have you guys had?

(Speaker 2)
Because again, I want to fill the minds of our listeners that you could actually do this.

(Speaker 1)
What kind of growth have you had over the past couple of years?

(Speaker 25)
Yeah, we at least doubled on our sales and revenue.

(Speaker 5)
My name is Kevin Thomas and the name of our company is MultiClean. We are a commercial janitorial service and we serve the entire state of Oklahoma and Kansas and soon to be Arkansas. We have probably grown probably five times. We’ve added, I think when we first started with you, we had 60 to 65 employees,

(Speaker 5)
and now we have a little over 300 employees. Before we got involved with Thrive Time, employees and now we have a little over 300 employees. Before we got involved with Thrive Time, we didn’t really have any systems or processes in place.

(Speaker 4)
Imagine standing at the end of your life, looking back on all the choices you’ve made, the paths you’ve taken, and the opportunities you’ve pursued or missed. Now, ask yourself one powerful question, is the life you’ve pursued or missed. Now ask yourself one powerful question. Is the life you’re looking back on the one you consciously designed or is it simply one

(Speaker 4)
you tolerated? This question matters more than almost any other because how you answer determines the quality and fulfillment of your entire life. You’re either building something meaningful intentionally day by day, or you’re settling.

(Speaker 2)
Folks on today’s show, we’re gonna talk about pushing past the point of mediocrity.

(Speaker 14)
What?

(Speaker 1)
Pushing past the point of mediocrity. You see, on today’s show we’re interviewing a long time guest, a frequent guest, an entrepreneur, a business owner, a man who used to be a member of the SWAT team, a guy who’s been a professional bodybuilder. And I would argue, we haven’t ever talked about this offline, and so I’m excited to

(Speaker 1)
talk about it online. I would argue that everything that Dr. Sherwood has ever achieved, or that he ever achieves on a daily basis is past the point of mediocrity. What am I saying? He’s physically in shape. He’s a guy who’s into fitness. That’s what he does. I don’t think he probably develops biceps, triceps, and the physique he has by just going

(Speaker 1)
to the gym and working out until he’s tired. I’d imagine he probably pushes a little bit past the point of normal. Another example, Sherwood.tv. That’s the website, Sherwood.tv. When he started Sherwood.tv, I would imagine that it wasn’t easy to build Sherwood.tv.

(Speaker 1)
I think Sherwood.tv is now a very successful clinic and practice, but he probably ran into a lot of adversity. Most people, for whatever reason, they succumb to comfort. Most people, not you the listener, I’m sure, but most people, they don’t design their future, they simply tolerate the mediocrity

(Speaker 1)
that they have by default. And so on today’s show, I really wanna focus in on this idea of helping somebody out there get unstuck. You’re going to the gym, good job, you’re doing it, but you’re not really pushing past the point of discomfort. You started a company,

(Speaker 1)
but you’re not pushing past the adversity. You have started something, you want to grow something, you had the big idea,

(Speaker 2)
but you’re not willing to kind of get intense enough to make it happen. And here to talk about how to get unstuck is Dr. Sherwood from Sherwood.tv. Dr. Sherwood, welcome on to the Thrive Time Show. How are you, sir? I’m doing well. Thanks for having me. This is interesting, because this is one of my favorite subjects to talk about.

(Speaker 2)
Mediocrity is the enemy of excellence. And I just will set that tone right there. That’s the model that I live by. So I’m going to get into five examples of this. And I want you to fire off just how you would handle it, OK? So right now in my office, we’re planting a lot of trees all over my office. Trees, why?

(Speaker 2)
Because I’m building a campus or a camp setting, as you’ve been to our office on multiple occasions when you travel to Tulsa for a conference. Each and every time you come to our conference, you’ll notice more trees, more water features, and I’m building it so it really does feel more like a resort than just a place where you come to have a business conference. And so to do that, we have to dig holes, buy a lot of trees, plant the trees. We have to get the trees delivered.

(Speaker 2)
We have to put an irrigation system in. And we use great vendors, but occasionally I have to get intense with certain employees, certain contractors, or certain vendors to actually get the trees planted during my life. So I want to get your thoughts on that. Why can’t I just send an email off to somebody and say, hey, please buy trees, plant trees,

(Speaker 2)
and it gets done? Why do I have to follow up and occasionally get intense if I want to get these trees planted? Well, that’s a great question because we’ve said this before, but what you expect, you can’t expect that unless you inspect that. And that’s a big deal.

(Speaker 2)
We as leaders, entrepreneurs, you want to create a landscape there that’s second to none, where people come to Tulsa, come to the Tulsa Ruslin, as you like to call it. You wanna create this place where this is second to zero. It’s so far over the top of this campus resort kind of feeling that people remember it.

(Speaker 2)
It marks their life. And Clay, because excellence is such a rare thing today,

(Speaker 7)
they remember it forever.

(Speaker 2)
And I think that’s what you’re trying to do there. And I believe that because we think the same way. 20 years I’ve been doing the same thing and every time people come back they go, man, I didn’t, you added this, you added that. Wow, I didn’t expect the helicopter ride. I didn’t expect the mariachis.

(Speaker 2)
Wow, you brought in Tim Tebow. Wow, you brought in Eric Trump. Holy moly, you brought in this athlete, this professional athlete, this mega star, always trying to take it to the next level. Now, let’s get really specific and into your wheelhouse. In the gym, if somebody watching today’s show said to you, hey, Dr. Sherwood, I want to work out with you, or someone watching today’s show, oh, yes, and they are a very, very wealthy executive, very wealthy executive.

(Speaker 2)
There’s somebody who’s in their late 60s, let’s say, I’d say mid-60s, and they’ve got the money to pay you. They’re going, I want to work out with you, man. And they’ve got the money. They’re mid-60s, they’re multi-millionaire, and they wanted to work out with you. Take us into the gym with you. What time are you getting there? What kind of energy is being exerted? What kind of soreness? What kind of focus? Just walk us through the mindset if someone were to go to the gym with you, assuming they could afford to hire you to take them into the dojo of Mojo. Well, I have a plan. I already have a plan written out. Believe it or not, I’ve been keeping workout records for probably 30 years, Clay, and I started at 545. I’m not there to talk.

(Speaker 2)
I’m not there to visit. I’m not there to hobnob. I’m not there to switch swap stories, I’m there to work out. I don’t want to carry on a conversation. When a set is done, I time it. I time that set depending on what repetition range I’m doing. So whether it be a minute and a half, whether it be 30 seconds, whether it be a minute, I have a plan. And so then I document my results because I’m trying to get improvements

(Speaker 2)
from my last time I did that particular workout scheme or workout protocol. And when somebody works out with me, they need to be prepared to do as I say, period, end of story. I’m not trying to hurt them. I’m trying to teach them some things because commitment is what it takes to grow. It takes that in business. It takes that in exercise. It takes that in all parts of life. So, you know, they might be sore. They might not be sore, but we’re going to follow the plan

(Speaker 2)
because if you don’t plan, you’ve already planned to fail. Now, again, somebody goes to the gym, though they get a little bit sore. I imagine when they work out with you, you’re going to say one more rep, one more repetition, one more repetition.

(Speaker 2)
Talk about that extra repetition. One more repetition. Talk about that extra repetition. When a lot of people would stop, why do you in the gym push for that extra repetition? Because resistance stands in the way of achieving your goals. You know, you look at your goals, it’s like walking through that door, man.

(Speaker 2)
If you want to walk through that door of opportunity, the greatest thing that’s standing in your way of that door is fear. Fear of, what’s that going to feel like? door of opportunity, the greatest thing that’s standing in your way of that door is fear. Fear of what’s that going to feel like, what’s that going to look like, can I do this, the unknown, and you’ve got to push past that. Now I’m not trying to hurt anybody and I’m not trying to hurt anybody in business either,

(Speaker 2)
but the principle is simple. If you want to achieve what you’ve never achieved, you’ve got to do what you’ve never done. And that always is going to be the thing as you go forward. Now let’s talk more about this here, you know, with again as relates to business, you know, you have a certain way that you want things to be done in your business. And and again without boring people with minutiae related to your industry, let’s say, you know, you have a certain checklist when you onboard a new patient. You want your patients to be treated a certain way. There’s a certain checklist.

(Speaker 2)
There’s a certain maybe ethical, maybe even legal requirement to gather certain medical information before working with a patient. Why can’t you skip a step?

(Speaker 1)
Why do you actually have to follow a specific protocol? Well, obviously, there’s rules on our end, but let’s even talk about the user or the client or the customer experience. I am letting them down if I skip a step because I will guarantee them results if they do what I ask them to do, if they follow the steps ahead of time.

(Speaker 1)
And so it’s letting them down when I skip a step. And when they pay my wife or myself or our company to do a certain job, I want them to get an amazing over and above return on their investment. That’s my methodology and that’s what we do. And if I do my job right, they become a teacher of others about what we do. So now let’s switch gears. Let’s go over to Sherwood.tv. That’s the website, Sherwood.tv. With the limited time we have you today, somebody says, you know, I want to optimize my health.

(Speaker 1)
I want to lose weight, optimize my health. I want to get in the best shape of my life. What’s somebody signing up for if they go to Sherwood.tv? Because I see people that I know who speak highly of you and your system, and you have helped them lose lots of weight. Now, what am I saying? I’ve got long-time clients of mine. I have my own kids, my own family members, my own friends, people I know who’ve gone

(Speaker 1)
to Sherwood.tv, and almost every time, they’ve lost excess of 25 pounds within just a matter of months. I mean, people that have struggled for years to lose weight or to increase their energy or to improve their resting metabolic rate, people that have wanted to just feel healthier, become more focused, they go to Sherwood.tv.

(Speaker 1)
I don’t know what happens. I just know I see them 60 days later and I go, wow, this person lost 25 pounds. Wow, this person is enthusiastic. Wow, this person is having the success.

(Speaker 2)
What is somebody signing up for if they go to Sherwood.tv? Well, they’re going to get a life transformation. That’s the point. I don’t do this for temporary fixes. I do this to transform lives. Our sort of mission statement is this, leading people down a pathway to true healing. And again, when people come to us, somebody said this to me today, you guys have something

(Speaker 2)
called the Sherwood way. And I don’t know what that really meant, but there is a way that we do things. And I think it’s really God’s way, quite frankly, and to be real transparent with you, when you give people the pathway for success and you show them the pathway

(Speaker 2)
and you walk with them side by side, they’re gonna get to the point where they’re not gonna have excess fat on their frame, they’re gonna be able to gain better, their vitality is going to increase, their energy is going to increase. And this might sound like a pretty bold statement, but I see it happen all the time. We become what really we’re intended to be,

(Speaker 2)
which is excess fat gain resistance. And I think that’s a key point, that people want that, because I was reading statistics today, Clay, just this morning, America’s overweight or obesity crisis right now is 66%. In Oklahoma, our home state, it’s over 70%.

(Speaker 2)
It’s predicted to be by 2050, 100%. That is a catastrophic failure on the part of our medical system. They’re not doing the job.

(Speaker 24)
We are.

(Speaker 7)
If people don’t wanna be part of the failed system and wanna be part of a successful system, they’ll reach out to us.

(Speaker 1)
Final 60 seconds we have you on today’s abbreviated edition of the Thrive Time Show. People go to Sherwood.tv. They go there. You’ve got multiple solutions. I mean, you offer a family medical practice.

(Speaker 1)
You offer supplements that people can take to improve their health. will offer, I would call it fitness coaching or health coaching or nutrition coaching. Walk us through all the solutions that you’re providing right there at Sherwood.tv.

(Speaker 7)
Well, obviously, we’re going to talk about nutrition, sleep, stress management, movement, genetics, hormones, peptides, and supplementation. And we’re going to create a personalized plan for them so that they can achieve their best. And everybody’s different.

(Speaker 7)
So if they want the personalized touch, if they want us to walk beside them on the mission of life to make their life better, and perhaps this Sherwood way, this excess fat gain resistance that they can achieve, you know, they’re going to experience all those things. We’re going to develop a new friendship, a new partnership, and it’s going to be a great way to see their family change and their family line and their children change.

(Speaker 2)
Dr. Sherwood, I really do appreciate you carving out time for all the listeners out there. What do you say to somebody watching today’s show? They feel stuck in their business, they feel stuck with their health, they just feel stuck.

(Speaker 1)
What do you say, final 30 seconds, what say you, sir?

(Speaker 7)
You gotta do the extra to achieve the benefit of that. If you’re not willing to pay the price to do more, you’re going to fall into what I call the comparison trap, which is just trying to do more than somebody else. That’s not the point. The challenge is to be the best you can be every day. Don’t let mediocrity stand in the way and become the enemy of excellence.

(Speaker 7)
Dr. Sherwood, you’re a great American and you look like you’re hitting the weights.

(Speaker 1)
Way to go, sir.

(Speaker 6)
We’ll talk to you soon.

(Speaker 4)
You’re either designing your life or you’re tolerating one. Most people never consciously choose to settle. Nobody wakes up in the morning saying, today I’ll live beneath my potential or today I’ll accept circumstances that don’t truly fulfill me. Instead it happens gradually, quietly. It starts with small compromises, minor tolerances, seemingly insignificant moments when you choose convenience over intention. Slowly those

(Speaker 4)
compromises accumulate. Days turn into weeks Weeks into months months into years and before you know it You’re living a life that’s far from what you once dreamed. You’re tolerating Settling not because it’s satisfying But because it’s become comfortable familiar predictable

(Speaker 4)
Yet comfort as I’ve discovered over the years, can be quietly devastating. See, settling never seems costly at first. It feels harmless. It’s easy to tell yourself things like, it’s not so bad, or I’ll change this someday, or even things could always be worse. But here’s the truth I’ve learned from experience. Settling is incredibly costly, not immediately, but over time. Settling quietly erodes your joy, your energy, your dreams.

(Speaker 4)
It chips away at your sense of purpose. Each day spent tolerating circumstances that don’t align with your vision is a day lost, a day you’ll never get back. Eventually that loss accumulates into regret, disappointment, and the haunting sense of what might have been.

(Speaker 2)
Well, Thrive Nation, we all get good ideas. We all get new ideas. We all get epiphanies. We all get excited about something new, something shiny, and a new best practice system. We listen to a radio talk show host or some sort of podcast guru or author. But it’s really about implementing the things that we’re learning. And on today’s show, we’re joined by the franchise brand

(Speaker 2)
developer of Oxifresh, a proven brand with proven systems. And if you’re willing to actually put in the work, this company, this system, this Oxifresh brand may be a great solution for you and your family to achieve financial and time freedom. And with that being said, Matt Klein,

(Speaker 2)
welcome to The Thrived Time Show. How are you, sir?

(Speaker 1)
I am doing pretty darn good.

(Speaker 23)
Thanks for having me.

(Speaker 1)
So Matt, I got to ask you real quick. If somebody goes to Oxifresh.com, they buy an Oxifresh, there’s an initial excitement. People are ready to go. They’re fired up. They’re ready to open up their new territory, take America by storm, dominate the competition, seize the opportunity, whatever.

(Speaker 1)
And then all of a sudden, we get back to the core stuff, the core stuff. And you’ve got some great franchisees that do the core stuff, those core repeatable, actionable processes. Why is it so rare that entrepreneurs that

(Speaker 1)
is why is it so rare to find entrepreneurs like some of the great ones you have at oxy fresh that are willing to just do the boring core repeatable actionable processes? Why is it so important for them to do it? Why is it so rare? Fresh? You mean, so you have some great, I mean, why is it so rare to find that in America today?

(Speaker 1)
Because I feel like people have not been taught the importance of consistency. We live in an information now, like, you know, you want gratification now, if you can’t tangibly feel it, it’s not worth going after. But if you can’t tangibly feel it, it’s not worth going after. But if you talk to any business owner that has any amount of like success

(Speaker 1)
where they can, you know, seen growth over a decade or two decades, I mean, they’re different people now. I mean, I tell people all the time, I mean, when I was a business owner, when I first started,

(Speaker 1)
all I wanted to have was one employee that had a full day, right? And then I wanted one employee that had a full week, and then I wanted a full month. And now I look back, you know, if I book enough job for one employee, my business will implode in like two months, right?

(Speaker 1)
Because like, there’s not enough jobs. So I think people just aren’t in the frame of mind to understand that long-term consistency will give them financial freedom for the rest of their life. It has to be like right now, I don’t wanna put the effort in, right?

(Speaker 1)
Like even when I talk to people like, well, how quickly can I make $100,000, right? It’s like, well, that’s a pretty loaded question. How aggressive are you? Are you gonna spend 100% of your working day or a little bit of your day?

(Speaker 1)
But to me, Clay, it’s the most important thing that you could do. It doesn’t matter what business you’re looking at, it doesn’t matter if you’re selling a product. If you’re not willing to at least put time into your business every day for like, let’s say a couple years, you aren’t in the right frame of mind as a business owner. And I believe that wholeheartedly. Now I’m going to pull this up real quick because this I want to brag on an entrepreneur I have the opportunity to work with here let me put up on the screen every single week at make your dog epic dog training they train dogs and Matt after they train the dog they do an exit interview like kind of a 60-second interview where they ask somebody to leave them a review based

(Speaker 1)
upon the results they received and yeah they do it every time. And they also gather objective reviews from every single customer they work with. So when you type in dog training Tulsa, you’re going to find that they come up in the search results with 3,200 reviews. Their closest competitor has 1,300 reviews.

(Speaker 1)
You go to their website, you’re gonna see, go to their YouTube channel, you’re gonna see 676 video testimonials. And the idea of that level of consistency is just not normal, but that’s what produces the success. So when somebody goes out there to buy an Oxifresh.com franchise, let’s talk about

(Speaker 1)
those consistent things they have to do every day. Let’s talk about those core four or five things. So first off, if you buy an Oxifresh franchise, you’re going to have to always recruit and train new employees. Why are you always going to have to train and recruit new employees

(Speaker 2)
if you buy an Oxifresh.com franchise?

(Speaker 1)
Yeah, I mean, the assumption is that you should want to be growing all the time, right? If you go six months to a year and you’re not thinking about hiring employees, especially in a business like ours, there’s an underlying problem there. We’re not like actually trying to grow. You should not ever be in a scenario where you’re not looking to eventually hire someone within a little while, because if you’re doing the right things, you are growing, you’re getting more repeat customers, you’re getting bigger jobs. I mean, everything kind of rolls on itself.

(Speaker 1)
And so that’s one, but two, like nothing is given with employees. Like the better you treat them and the better the environment is for their success, the more likelihood they’re gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and treat you with respect.

(Speaker 1)
But even at that, I mean, it’s a in my case, leave my vehicle in a supermarket when I didn’t know that they were going to quit, because they’re going through a divorce, or whether it’s they didn’t tell me that they’re, you know, they’re in the reserves of the military. And so they come up, I mean, I’m going to be gone for a month, right? And I need to do this. It doesn’t matter how nice relationship, it’s going to happen. The more you recruit,

(Speaker 1)
the more you have that stable of people that you’ve identified as qualified people for you, the better your business is going to be. If you have to start from scratch every single time, you will be behind the ball when you hire almost every time. Again, the things you just said,

(Speaker 1)
it might sound unbelievable if you’re not a business owner, but that happens. I mean, if you talk about an employee, you know, failing to tell you they’re going through a divorce, so they leave your vehicle in a parking lot. I have so many examples of stories like that, of just craziness. I remember one employee we had, Matt, that was phenomenal. And they were doing a great job. And I noticed the phenomenon that they were not depositing their checks, you know, so it’s like a direct deposit. And it’s, you know, I’m going,

(Speaker 1)
somehow the money we’re sending is not going into the account. It’s getting sent back. What’s going on? Well, you find out this employee’s going through a divorce and they just totally took their eye off the ball.

(Speaker 1)
The spouse took the money out of the account, shut down the account or whatever. And that’s not something that I did, it’s not something that you did, but we had to deal with it. And if I wasn’t always hiring, I would be in a bad spot. Now super move number two that everyone needs to do if they want to grow a successful company,

(Speaker 1)
you can never stop wowing customers. You just can never stop. It’s a never-ending, relentless process. mail it in as a carpet cleaning franchise owner. You have to actually clean the carpets. And I know it seems like a menial task for somebody out there. It might not seem like a glorifying task to wow people with their dog training

(Speaker 1)
or cleaning their carpets. But I see a lot of business owners that want to go viral on Instagram and make millions overnight, but they don’t want to do the basic block and tackle, the basic move of cleaning the carpet well

(Speaker 1)
or training the dog. Can you talk about that? I mean, once you’ve mentally lodged on the idea that you’re never stopping hiring, why do you have to never lose sight of wowing that actual customer that’s right in front of you right now? Yeah, that’s the basis of your business.

(Speaker 1)
Who cares about hiring people if you’re not willing to do the things for your customers? Because eventually that long-term activity of not doing good by your customers, you won’t need to hire anyone, right? You’re just going to give your customers that you can pay for to other people because you’re not living up to what you’ve said you were, right? I mean, it’s the core. It’s not phenomenal, right? It’s like if you do a good job and you go above and beyond, you stay communicated, your customers will call you back. It’s how you literally make money, it’s how you grow.

(Speaker 1)
If every new customer that, if every customer that’s on your schedule is a new customer, your business is not sustainable, right? You have to have customers coming back and validating you and giving referrals. And you know, like it’s hard on my schedule

(Speaker 1)
when a customer says, I want Freddie to come back to my house. Right? But I’ll make that adjustment because how good was Freddie to have a carpet cleaner that she likes so much that they not only want my company, they want my employee. Right? That’s the best sticker of approval that I can get as a business owner. And so if you’re if you’re not thinking

(Speaker 1)
about that as your number one goal, and you’ve been willing to build your business pay for the marketing, and you’re not willing to go above and beyond for the customer, all of your thoughts are backwards, right? Because that’s the core thing. It’s like, you know, like I’m not passionate about carpet cleaning. But if my jobs aren’t being done at a high level, right, like I do to fire myself

(Speaker 18)
or fire my employees, one or the other.

(Speaker 1)
Now, move number three, you can never stop organizing your day. So as an example, today, you and I, we have an ongoing recurring interview. We have you on the Thrive Time Show and I appreciate you carving out time to do it. I’m on the phone today with an attorney

(Speaker 1)
and the attorney was struggling to grasp the idea that I’ve got to get off the phone. You know, I’m like, I got to go. I got to go. The thing is, we got to wrap up this call. And it’s like, what do you mean? I’m like, I’ve got Matt Klein on the show here in two minutes. So we got to go.

(Speaker 1)
And it’s like, well, yeah, but I’m going to know.

(Speaker 2)
We got to go. And there’s that. Then we’re clearly done talking about what about, but then they’re wanting to, well, hey, what are you doing this summer? Are you taking the kids here? Are you taking the kids there? How you doing? You doing good?

(Speaker 2)
Ah, what do you think about this? What do you think about that crypto? What do you think about this? What do you think about that? And I’m going, I’ve got to go. A lot of BS emails, a lot of Chuck Norris jokes floating around, a lot of social media videos to watch, a lot of TikTok videos, a lot of Instagram videos, a lot of jackassery

(Speaker 2)
that people, they allow it to consume their day. And if you’re not intentional about organizing your day, blocking out time for what matters, you’re not going to have success. Can you talk about that Matt? Because you not only sell the franchises at Oxyfresh, but you are a

(Speaker 1)
franchise owner yourself. Talk about the importance of blocking out time for what matters with your daily schedule. Yeah, I think it’s pretty important. I mean, if you’re trying to get things done and your phone keeps ringing, you keep answering, you can’t carve out time, whether it’s meeting with your employees to set expectations, or whether it’s time to just finish projects or send bids that you’re trying to do. Like if you don’t carve that time out

(Speaker 1)
and you get to a point of success, you are going to be inefficient with almost every minute of your day. Because you’re gonna be trying to get things done, you’re gonna be half going here the phone and like you need to build in layers of automation in your company and your schedule is the best way to do it. Right. The best thing with Oxifresh, by the way, is the biggest piece of

(Speaker 1)
this right as you grow as a company, and you get more and more calls, I think I’ve booked 16 or 17 jobs today, and we still have half the day here. Right? Like I’ve been on calls and discussions and doing bids and sending FTD stuff to people. And so I’m doing my job while my business is really doing well, right? We’re booking a lot of jobs

(Speaker 1)
and I probably have 30 different interactions with customers my company has, but I’m not doing that. So yeah, you know, and also too, when it goes to your schedule, Clay, like get yourself out of bed too, you know? Like get out of bed and set it up like you have employment.

(Speaker 1)
Don’t get out of bed at 10 and then work on your company. Like if you expect your employees to be at work at nine, you should be up a couple hours before them, right? Figuring out ways where they can be successful or figuring out ways where your schedule will be more efficient or figure out ways maybe today you’re going to go talk to some commercial clients. The only way you can be good at a small business is just the logs of time you have available

(Speaker 1)
to you, being active with your company, whether that’s doing sales or making sure your customers or employees are doing good. So yeah, I don’t think you can really have a successful business if you’re not at least trying to schedule things that are going to help you. Now move number four and five, again, I’m just talking about the power of long-term consistency, mastering how to master the crap needed to grow a successful business, the core, repeatable, actionable

(Speaker 3)
processes.

(Speaker 1)
Super move number four, if you’re going to run a successful OxyFresh or any business, you got to be a master of a to-do list. Today I’ve got a list of things I’m going to get done. Some things might seem exciting for the listeners out there, some something might not. I’m in the process of planting a lot of pine trees on my property right now. So Matt, last time that you were at my property, we had about 250 less trees than we have now. So last time you were here, we had 250 less trees. Now we got 250 more trees. Well, why is that important? Well, I’m in the process of constantly upgrading

(Speaker 1)
our property and the facilities here. So when people come to conferences, it creates a wonderful atmosphere, and there’s never time needed to plant trees. So I have to block out time. I have a to-do list. And so in order to get the trees planted, you have to install the irrigation system. You have to get a quote for the irrigation system.

(Speaker 1)
You have to select the trees. The trees have to be delivered. You have to schedule the employees to plant the trees, to water the trees. And if you don’t have a to-do list, you can’t think about those multi-step processes without becoming overwhelmed and without dropping the ball. And then step number five,

(Speaker 1)
I wanna get your thoughts on this, Matt. You gotta follow up, you gotta follow up. You gotta become a master of following up. It’s one thing to tell somebody what to do or to assign an action item via email over the phone or on a to-do list, but you’ve got to follow up. I mean, you’ve just got to become a master of following up

(Speaker 1)
if you’re going to become a successful oxy-fresh business owner.

(Speaker 2)
Matt, can you talk about the importance of follow-up?

(Speaker 1)
Yeah, I mean, what’s the ultimate goal? Whether it’s you’re following up with a customer because they need to give a quote over to them or you’re following up with your employees because you need a meeting to explain to them the importance of upsells and closing out work orders correctly. Right like the follow-up would suggest that you have something that really requires you to follow up right like if you don’t follow up in any scenario whether it’s with a customer you’re flaky can’t be trusted maybe I don’t want to use this person if it’s with your employees, the same things apply. You’re flaky, can’t be trusted, right? So like, if

(Speaker 1)
you’re running, if you’re running a company, and you are the problem of your own company, like you are setting the standard for your employees to be the same way, or to leave you for a company that actually has all their ducks in a row, right? These are simple things, you know, like, nobody wants to have an environment that is shaky, where they don’t know if things are going to happen. If they’re promising things to their customers, they require the owner to do

(Speaker 1)
something, but the owner is not doing it and they look bad. Right. So like, you know, follow up. Gosh, I would not never even thought about follow up being a problem. But if you’re not following up, you’re really hurting yourself and your company and your employees at a pretty high level. Now, Matt, for anybody out there that wants to learn more about oxyfresh.com,

(Speaker 1)
OxyFresh the franchise, I encourage everybody to go to oxyfresh.com, O-X-I fresh.com. I’ve known Matt for many, many years now. And I know Matt, that you are a hundred percent serious about helping entrepreneurs to achieve success

(Speaker 1)
as an Oxyy fresh franchise owner. What’s the step people need to take and how much money does it cost if somebody is

(Speaker 2)
interested in buying an oxy fresh.com franchise?

(Speaker 1)
Yeah, you need to go to the site, fill out your information, just your name, phone number, email, so we know who you are, right? They’re gonna ask other questions there too. But I’ll give that information into our CRM platform. It’s going to send you a text message and email and I’ll call you. We’re going to set up an intro call. Very simply, we’re just going to discuss who you are, what you’re

(Speaker 1)
trying to do, territory availability, right, the very kind of general parts of Oxifresh that will either get you excited or make you go in a different direction, which is fine. And what we’re doing on that first call, we’re gonna try to have enough synergy there for it makes sense to us to get into the real details, which is like a secondary call going through the territory,

(Speaker 1)
the marketing, the competition, our structure of how we get business. That’s the tangible piece of our process that will give you the confidence to move forward because you know the company has a real scenario of marketing.

(Speaker 1)
Most companies don’t. They have marketing programs, but they don’t really know, you won’t have anything as the business owner do anything, which that’s scary. You need tasks to complete every day. Then that’s going to take us through to the next phase of

(Speaker 1)
software and capabilities and booking job and all this. We’ll go through FDD in terms of rules and regulations and everything that has to do with this company, we’ll go through ramp up periods, financial layout, all the things right. So by the time you get to a place of decision making, it’s not because of lack of information, you will know so much, you’ll be sick of me

(Speaker 1)
saying certain things, I’m sure. But you will be in a place where you and your family, whoever’s making the decisions will actually be able to do it confidently one way or the other. And that time could take 30 days or six months.

(Speaker 22)
Just everyone’s different.

(Speaker 1)
Again, folks, Matt Klein, Oxifresh. I can’t speak highly enough about Matt Klein and the way he does things there, folks. And if you’re out there interested today about just how to become a successful small business owner, I mean, if nothing else, you

(Speaker 2)
sir, and we’ll talk to you next week.

(Speaker 4)
I remember clearly the moment when I truly understood this lesson. It was a simple realization, but powerful. I realized that life was happening either way. It wasn’t waiting for me to get clear, to become comfortable, or to feel ready. Life moves forward, moment by moment, choice by choice.

(Speaker 4)
And every moment I spent tolerating circumstances I didn’t truly want was a moment I was sacrificing something better, something extraordinary. In that moment I made a clear decision. I would no longer tolerate life. Instead I would design it intentionally. Well folks if

(Speaker 1)
you have been stuck with your health, stuck with your wealth, you just feel stuck in some capacity, today’s show is a show for you. And I want to encourage everybody out there, you don’t have to stay stuck. So if you feel stuck on today’s show, we’re introducing you to multiple entrepreneurs, multiple entrepreneurs that are not stuck, and multiple entrepreneurs that I’m sure at some point in their life they did feel stuck, but they’re not stuck.

(Speaker 1)
They’re not just surviving now, they are thriving. And here to talk about how to get you unstuck is Dr. Troy Spurl. Welcome onto The Thrive Time Show. How are you, sir?

(Speaker 3)
Doing well. Thank you very much, Clay.

(Speaker 1)
So let’s talk about it from a perspective of health for a second. to officialsynapse.com and they’ve been struggling with chronic pain or chronic fatigue or some sort of chronic issue. How common is that, that people reach out to you because they’re struggling with some sort of chronic medical condition?

(Speaker 2)
How often is that the reason why someone reaches out to you?

(Speaker 3)
Well, that’s probably 90% of the people that we see and they’ve been struggling for a long time and whether it’s chronic fatigue, chronic pain, memory loss, whatever it is, the chronicity has started to impact their life. And we have a saying that people are living too short and dying too long. And that’s part of the problem right now. People are just, they don’t have that quality of life they’re looking for.

(Speaker 2)
So walk our listeners through, what are the kinds of solutions that you provide at your website right now? Because again, I think a lot of people maybe are slightly familiar with you because of our show and other broadcasts.

(Speaker 2)
What are the solutions that you guys provide

(Speaker 3)
at officialsynapse.com to help our listeners get unstuck? Well, we go to the root cause of why they’re stuck. And so there’s always something that’s either truthfully, it’s going to be either chemical, mental, physical, or even spiritual. And we’ll look at and measure the chemistry of the body. We’ll look at the structure of the body, see what’s not working. And any breakdown in function, any breakdown in communication, it’s going to lead to dysfunction.

(Speaker 3)
And that’s what leads to the symptoms that’s causing them to be stuck.

(Speaker 1)
What are the most common issues of chronic illness that you see? Again, you see thousands of patients over there at officialsignups.com. What are the most common issues

(Speaker 3)
that you see time and time again? So by far, people are stuck in what we call fight or flight. It’s a stress response. Sometimes it’s from bad food, unclean food. Sometimes it’s from unclean water or just contaminations, chemicals, pesticides, whatever it is that they’ve been contaminated. And sometimes it’s relationships, stress or sleep disorders. We actually find 90% of the people that come to us actually have an undiagnosed sleep disorder

(Speaker 3)
And they’re stuck in fight-or-flight

(Speaker 1)
So what are the proactive steps someone can take right now if they if they want to get unstuck walk us through?

(Speaker 2)
What are the steps people can take right now if they want to get unstuck?

(Speaker 3)
So there’s foundational stuff number one. You want to make sure you’re sleeping restoratively. There’s good deep sleep. You want to make sure your diet is good. We have a saying, if God made it, it’s good. If man changed it, beware. So our food has been altered. And we want to start with that foundation.

(Speaker 3)
You also have to be moving. You have to be exercising off the desk or off the couch, away from the desk and start moving appropriately, managing your stress. And then it’s very, very important. We’re big on supplements, but because of Dr. Google these days,

(Speaker 3)
people are taking way too many supplements. So we want you on the right supplements, supplements that help supplement healthy diet and lifestyle. So we start with the foundational stuff.

(Speaker 1)
And let’s talk about it. If somebody goes to officialsignApps.com, walk us through step one, step two, step three. Again, someone maybe hits your website up for the first time because they feel stuck in some capacity.

(Speaker 2)
What’s step one, step two, step three?

(Speaker 3)
Well, step one, you just fill out a simple little form. It’s a free discovery call, and we start the vetting process to see if we’re right for you and you’re right for us. And then we kind of do a tell-all, we meet together and we’ll go over everything, review your case, what’s happening, and then recommendations of what we need to be doing. So we’ll look at lab work. We order an extensive amount of lab work and do a 200-point physical for the people that are able to be in-house. For those that aren’t, that are more across the country,

(Speaker 3)
then we’ll do things virtually. And we go into problem-solving mode.

(Speaker 1)
Now, switching gears for a second, obviously, we’ve had the opportunity to serve you and work with you and your business over the last couple of years. There had to have been a point in your life where you thought to yourself, you know what? I am tired of being stuck.

(Speaker 1)
I want to take my business to the next level. Can you walk us through your mindset on that? Because again, there’s somebody out there watching today’s show, their business is stuck. Maybe their health isn’t stuck, but their business is stuck. Walk us through kind of the mindset

(Speaker 1)
that you’ve had over these past few years

(Speaker 3)
as you’ve really taken official sign apps to the next level. Well, for us, it was a lot about organization and getting the big things done first. And so you helped us quite a bit when it comes to priorities. And I had reached a capacity. I already had a waiting list practice, but it was all about myself.

(Speaker 3)
I wanted to be impactful. I wanted to change the health care system. In order to do that, I had to create processes and procedures that were beyond me. And when you can create something so organized that’s beyond yourself, that’s much, much more impactful. And so we’ve started the process of being able to duplicate that and really teach other

(Speaker 3)
practitioners on board. We’ve doubled our staff. We’ve on boarded a lot more protocols. We’re now, I remember I have a leadership meeting coming up and we have three burning fires that we’re gonna be working on from a business perspective.

(Speaker 3)
Two years ago, we had 200 to give you just a bit of an idea. So it’s a significant reduction and we’re not putting fires out. We’re not reacting to stuff anymore. We’re ahead of the game on so many things. We’re planning for a year, two, three, and four years out.

(Speaker 2)
Repeat that again,

(Speaker 1)
because that was a staggering stat you just shared. Repeat that again for everybody out there, because I think people might not

(Speaker 2)
exactly register what that means. So yeah, running your own business, there’s a lot of times you’re reacting to all of the burning fires that go on during a day. And I remember writing out that list and we had over 200 and we just, we even went to our staff and said, what’s not working? And guess what, Clay? We got crickets. Crickets. No one said a thing.

(Speaker 2)
I’ve never had that happen. Never. You have a business now, again, the official synapse.com that is helping people to optimize their health. You have the business. You also have, so again, you’re focused on taking your own life to the next level, but you’re also focused on helping your listeners,

(Speaker 2)
our listeners, your clients to take their lives to the next level. What do you say to somebody out there watching today’s show that feels perpetually stuck? What do you say?

(Speaker 3)
Well, what I say is dig in. I have a I have a strong faith and so I lean into my faith and seek help. There are people who know what what you need. And so in the health world, that’s my world. In the business world. That’s why I sought you out. You there are people who know what they’re doing and they repeat they have success over and over and over again. So to get unstuck, first of all, you have to know what your vision is. I knew I wanted to be impactful. I knew I wanted more and I could be

(Speaker 3)
it could be doing it better. So I sought you out. Do you have kind of a daily routine that you adhere to that helps you keep out of the rut of mediocrity? Because I don’t think anybody wakes up with a burning desire to have mediocrity, but what do you do on a daily basis to help yourself, you know, stay on track

(Speaker 1)
and not get stuck in the rut of mediocrity?

(Speaker 3)
Yeah, I have a calendar and I have a task list and I prioritize my tasks and I stick to my calendar. Everything goes on my calendar. And so regardless of what I’m doing, whether it’s a quick phone call in 30 seconds or whether it’s actually working with a high priority meetings,

(Speaker 3)
it’s on my calendar and I stick to it. And I delegate what can be delegated and then I micromanage and I audit.

(Speaker 2)
I’m telling you folks, what he just said is absolute wisdom. I think some people feel like they’re being a bad person or a bad boss if they follow up until something gets done. But that’s what you have to do.

(Speaker 2)
You got to follow up until something gets done. What do you say to somebody out there that’s starting a lot of new ideas, new visions?

(Speaker 3)
They’re excited all the time, but nothing’s getting done. What do you say about the followup process? So for me, one of the keys there was actually attracting the right people. And so going through a hiring process and getting the right people. So one of the things I did learn from you that was very impactful was actually surrounding yourself

(Speaker 3)
with people who were like-minded and mission-driven. So I just shared who I was, what I was about, and people who really were attracted to that, they followed up. People who were repelled by that left, so I never ended up hiring them. There was no mistaken hires or anything like that. The people I’ve now hired, they’re pouring into the business. Even my entry-level positions, they’re treating the

(Speaker 3)
business like it was their business. I’ve never experienced that in 30 years of running a practice.

(Speaker 1)
Final question I have for you there, for anybody out there that’s watching today’s show that feels a little bit stuck in the monotony of mediocrity. What would be your final word of encouragement for anybody out there that just feels a little bit stuck, whether it’s in their health or in their business?

(Speaker 3)
What do you say? Well, I have a firm belief that there’s an answer to every problem. It’s impossible to have up without down. It’s an impossible to have a problem without a solution. So to get unstuck, the first thing is to stop, have awareness of it, recognize it.

(Speaker 3)
It’s okay to ask for help,

(Speaker 2)
but be very clear on what you want, and then go after it. I just can’t tell you how much I appreciate you carving out time, because I think so many people, we don’t have access by default to successful entrepreneurs, doctors that know what they’re talking about. And I appreciate you carving out time to share

(Speaker 2)
with our listeners out there. And again, if you’re out there today looking for a doctor you can trust, check out officialsignapps.com, officialsignapps.com. Dr. Troy Spurl, I really do appreciate you. And we’ll talk to you next week.

(Speaker 21)
Sounds good.

(Speaker 20)
Bye-bye.

(Speaker 5)
My name is Kevin Thomas, and the name of our company is MultiClean. We are a commercial janitorial service and we serve the entire state of Oklahoma and Kansas and soon to be Arkansas. We have probably grown probably five times. We’ve added we I think when we first started with you, we had 60 to 65 employees. And now we have a

(Speaker 5)
little over 300 employees. Before we got involved with Thrive Time, we didn’t really have any systems or processes in place. I’ve probably been to, oh, in six, seven years, I’ve probably been to 12 to 13 business conferences, and amazingly, each time I go, I learn something new and I’m so excited to bring it back

(Speaker 5)
and show the team about marketing and how to implement.

(Speaker 2)
Okay, Aaron Antis, September 25th and 26th, guess who’s coming back to Tulsa? I will give you a hint. His first name is Eric and his last name is Trump. And his father is the 47th president of these United States. Yes! Eric Trump is joining us once again here September 25th

(Speaker 2)
and 26th in Tulsa, Oklahoma for the two-day interactive Thrive Time Show business growth workshop. But Eric Trump is bringing friends. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Alina Haba will be joining Eric Trump right here in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Amanda Grace will be in the place. Dr. Stella Emanuel will be here in T-Town in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

(Speaker 2)
Julie Green will be on the scene. Mel K will be here to say hey. Dave Scarlett from the His Glory team will be here. It’s going to be a blasty blast right here in Tulsa, Oklahoma. If you want to start or grow a super successful company, if you want to make your wallet great again

(Speaker 2)
or make your wallet great for the first time, if you want to learn marketing, systems, scaling, human resources, accounting, social media, branding, search engine optimization, sales training, financial management, and more, get your tickets right now at Thrivetimeshow.com.

(Speaker 2)
Once again, that’s Thrivetimeshow.com. 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, he needed a competent

(Speaker 2)
man to run and execute his business plans.

(Speaker 11)
Showtime!

(Speaker 1)
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,

(Speaker 1)
the man who manages billions of dollars of real estate and thousands of 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,

(Speaker 2)
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 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.

(Speaker 13)
That’s going to be amazing.

(Speaker 1)
Now think about this for a second.

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

(Speaker 18)
It’s a good word for character. Yeah, that is it.

(Speaker 15)
Good.

(Speaker 6)
Driven, smart. And I’ve never met a guy who was so hyper all the time. He’s doing so much good. And then I met his mother, and she just says, she just lets him be Clay Clark. I mean, so you know, he’s endorsed by his mother. And he’s doing magnificent work.

(Speaker 6)
So it was great meeting you out there and all the people that he surrounds himself with. His Clay Clark starts his days at five o’clock in the morning.

(Speaker 10)
Oh, it’s, it’s incredible. Yeah. He’s, he’s like, he’s, he’s a machine.

(Speaker 19)
He’s a machine.

(Speaker 6)
But his, you know, I could, I have problems with my company starting at nine o’clock.

(Speaker 15)
Yes.

(Speaker 6)
Hundreds of people showing up at 5..m. in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Man, he’s a leader of a leader. He’s a fantastic young man.

(Speaker 18)
No, he is.

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

(Speaker 2)
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 the tight spot. So if you want to attend, it’s $250 or whatever price you want to pay.

(Speaker 2)
That’s how I do it. And it’s $500 for a VIP ticket. We only have limited seating here with the most people we’ve ever had in this building was for the Jim Brewer Presentation Jim Brewer came here that the legendary comedian Jim Brewer came to Tulsa and we had 419 people that were here for 19 people. Yeah, and I thought to myself that there’s no more room I felt kind of bad that a couple people had VIP seats in the men’s restroom Oh, no, I’m just kidding. But I took so so I thought, you know what? We should probably add on.

(Speaker 17)
Clay Clark is here somewhere. Where’s my buddy Clay?

(Speaker 12)
Hey, Clay Clark!

(Speaker 16)
Yeah!

(Speaker 15)
Yeah! Yeah!

(Speaker 9)
Clay’s the greatest. I met his goats today. I met his dogs. I met his chickens. I saw his dogs. So this guy’s like the greatest marketer you’ve ever seen, right?

(Speaker 9)
His entire life, Clay Clark, his entire life is marketing.

(Speaker 1)
So again, if you want to get tickets for this event, all you have to do is go to thrivetimeshow.com. Go to thrivetimeshow.com. When you go to thrivetimeshow.com, you’ll go there, you’ll request a ticket, boom. Or if you want to little bit faster service, you say, I want you to call me right now. Just text my number.

(Speaker 1)
It’s my cell phone number. My personal cell phone number. We’ll keep that private between you, between you, me, everybody. We’ll keep that private. And anybody, don’t share that with anybody except for everybody.

(Speaker 1)
That’s my private cell phone number. It’s 918-851-0102. 918-851-10102. I know we have a lot of Spanish-speaking people that attend these conferences. And so to be bilingually sensitive, my cell phone number is 918-851-0102. 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. Now, what kind of stuff will you

(Speaker 1)
learn at the Thrive Time Show workshop? So Aaron, you’ve been to many of these over the past seven, eight years. So let’s talk about it.

(Speaker 2)
I’ll tee up the thing and then you tell me what you’re going to learn here, okay? Okay. You’re going to learn marketing, marketing and branding. What are we going to learn about marketing and branding? Oh, yeah. like the Trump brand, right? You want to get that brand out there. It’s like, how do I actually make people know what my business is and make it a household name?

(Speaker 2)
You’re going to learn some intricacies

(Speaker 14)
of how you can do that.

(Speaker 2)
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. 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.

(Speaker 2)
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? Well, because first of all, you either have great people or you have people who suck. And so it can be a challenge, you know, learning how to work with a large group of people and get everybody pulling in the same direction can be a challenge. But if you have the right systems, you have the right processes, and you’re really good

(Speaker 2)
at selecting great ones. And we have a process we teach about how to find great people. When you start with the people who have a great attitude, they’re teachable, they’re driven, all of those things, then you can get those people all pulling in the same direction.

(Speaker 1)
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 personal finance, how to manage your finance. We’re gonna teach you time management. How do you manage your time?

(Speaker 1)
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

(Speaker 1)
during this two-day interactive business workshop. 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 AM, and it goes until 5 PM. So from 7 AM to 5 PM, two days.

(Speaker 1)
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 happens during that 15 minute question and answer session after every teaching session?

(Speaker 2)
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

(Speaker 2)
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.

(Speaker 1)
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. 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

(Speaker 1)
and to make it entertaining when you’re stretching. And this is a true story. When you get up and stretch, you’ll be greeted by mariachis. There’s going to probably be alpaca here, llamas, helicopter rides, a coffee bar, a snow cone. I mean there’s just… You had a crocodile one time. That was pretty interesting.
