(Speaker 2)
Once again, ladies and gentlemen, please stand at your feet and greet the son of President Donald J. Trump, the man who runs the Trump Organization, my good friend and now yours, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Eric Trump.

(Speaker 9)
Some shows don’t need a celebrity in the ring, but this show does. In a world filled with endless opportunities, why would two men who have built 13 multi -million dollar businesses altruistically invest five hours per day? to teach you the best practice business systems and moves that you can use, because they believe in you and they have a lot of time on their hands. They started from the bottom. Now they’re here. It’s the Thrive Time Show, starring the former U .

(Speaker 9)
S. Small Business Administration’s Entrepreneur of the Year, Clay Clark, and the entrepreneur trapped inside an optometrist’s body, Dr. Robert Zunich. Two men, eight kids, co -created by two different women. 13 multi -million dollar businesses.

(Speaker 3)
They wanted to see our family out of business. They wanted to see us bankrupt. They wanted to see my father in jail. They wanted to see me in jail. Then they had 91 indictments. I became the most subpoenaed person in arguably American history.

(Speaker 3)
They took his mugshot, you know, and then they tried to kill him. They tried to kill our family. They tried to kill the MAGA movement. And two weeks ago, you saw what they did to Charlie Kirk, right? It was the same thing. They wanted to silence that voice.

(Speaker 10)
How did that affect the family itself?

(Speaker 3)
It almost hurt. And it’s all a game. It’s not a fun game, it’s not a nice game, but it’s a game. In this episode, I sit down with Eric Trump, Executive Vice President of the Trump Organization, to discuss his new book, Under Siege, My Family’s Fight to Save Our Nation. I believe in this country. I love red, white and blue.

(Speaker 3)
I love our First Amendment. I love our Constitution. We have to stay the dominant superpower of the world. You do need good people. You better have people like Donald Trump. They can’t silence us the way they thought they could silence us.

(Speaker 3)
They thought they could just remove his voice with, you know, a $1 bullet. They were wrong.

(Speaker 10)
Do you have any aspirations for political office? This is American Thought Leaders, and I’m Jan Jekielek. Eric Trump, so good to have you back on American Thought Leaders. It’s great to be here, guys. So your new book, Under Siege, let’s dive right in. Your family has been under siege for some time.

(Speaker 10)
This is something that’s very prominent in the book. What about yourself? What is your key moment when you realized things had changed irrevocably?

(Speaker 1)
I’ll never forget when my father handed me the company and told me I’m going to Washington, D .

(Speaker 25)
C.

(Speaker 3)
I want to run everything. I never realized I’d be the one person that didn’t have constitutional protections. The President of the United States has constitutional protections. You know, I didn’t. And I became the most subpoenaed person in arguably American history.

(Speaker 3)
I got 112 subpoenas in a very short period of time. And these are like big subpoenas, right, from Senate, from Congress, from the biggest AGs in the country, DAs in the country. They wanted to see our family out of business. They wanted to see us bankrupt. They wanted to see my father in jail. They wanted to see me in jail.

(Speaker 3)
They wanted to see the Trump name off of every building around the globe. They wanted to break up our relationships. They wanted to break up the family ties I have with my siblings. They wanted to break up his relationship with Melania. They raided our homes. They tried to impeach him.

(Speaker 3)
They took us off of Twitter and Instagram and X. They weaponized the DOJ. They spied on his campaign. They made up the Russia hoax. They made up the Russia collusion. They made up the dirty dossiers. They took him off the ballot in Colorado.

(Speaker 3)
Then they took him off the ballot in Maine.

(Speaker 1)
You know, then they had how many indictments, 91 indictments in Fulton County and in deep left in New York City and in Washington, D .

(Speaker 41)
C.

(Speaker 1)
They took his mugshot, you know, and then they tried to kill him. And that’s what they tried to do to our family. They tried to they tried to kill our family. They tried to kill the MAGA movement. And two weeks ago, you saw what they did to Charlie Kirk, right? It was the same thing.

(Speaker 1)
They wanted to silence that voice. And that’s what Under Siege is. That’s what the book is about. It’s the thousands of stories behind the scenes of how they tried to dismantle our family and the greatest political movement in American history.

(Speaker 10)
How did that affect the family itself?

(Speaker 1)
I think it probably turned us into rocks, to tell you the truth. I mean, it probably desensitized me. I remember the first time I got a subpoena. And like, it almost hurt. And honestly, You know, 10 subpoenas in, it’s like, yeah, here we go again. Like, I know the game. And it’s all a game.

(Speaker 1)
It’s not a fun game. It’s not a nice game. But it’s a game. And you start compartmentalizing it as exactly that. it’s evil. You have sick people on the other side.

(Speaker 1)
You have people who wanted to destroy this country. You had people who wanted to destroy a man just because he had differences of opinions. First, they tried to laugh at him, mock him. You remember that from the White House Correspondence Center and so many others. You know, then they tried to silence him, right? They, again, stripped him off of social media.

(Speaker 1)
I mean, Boko Haram, the Ayatollah, the Taliban, you know, Hezbollah, they all had Twitter accounts. But guess who couldn’t? The 45th president of the United States, he couldn’t have a Facebook account. They’re writing my wife letters. You know, if you talk about Donald Trump, you know, on YouTube, we’re going to throw you off. And then they exerted physical violence on him after they couldn’t get him with legal lawfare.

(Speaker 1)
It was a crazy battle, and it’s a crazy battle, and it’s a battle that we won against all odds. And again, it’s really what the book Under Siege is about.

(Speaker 3)
Can you tell me about one kind of instance where it just seemed very, very dark?

(Speaker 10)
Maybe that you chronicle in the book that’s memorable.

(Speaker 1)
I sat next to him every day in the trials in New York, and I remember they stood up and read 34 indictments, which were just bogus. The judge was corrupt. His daughter worked for the other side. He was gagged. I was the only person who wasn’t gagged. So I was on the steps of the courthouse every day, yelling and screaming about how rigged the whole trial was.

(Speaker 1)
And I remember after 34 felony convictions, he turned around, shook my hand, we walked out together, we hopped in the car, and we were actually going to a fundraiser. We were in court by day, we were fundraising by night, we were campaigning by night. And I remember as soon as we got in the car, he looked at me, he goes, I don’t know how, but we’re gonna win. I don’t know how, but we’re gonna win. And he wasn’t just talking about the money. court case, which we had overturned.

(Speaker 1)
We won it. But the overall election, right? I mean, you had every press member in the back of those courtrooms, and they were giving him a 0 % chance. And it’s funny. In his early life, he wrote The Art of the Deal. Then his second book was The Art of the Comeback, talking about, obviously, his business career in the 90s when everybody thought he was down and out.

(Speaker 1)
And it’s like the perfect parallel, right? I mean, this was the art of the deal. It was the art of the comeback. No one would ever have thought a guy who was just charged with 91 felony convictions for doing nothing wrong, but because you had a system that was totally weaponized against you, could ultimately become president. And not only did he become president, he won every swing state, right? He won the popular vote.

(Speaker 1)
Every state in the nation went to the right, meaning, you know, attacked to the right in terms of voting. We picked up places that we never, I mean, we picked up 11 counties in California that had never been Republican before that went Republican. Miami -Dade, which hasn’t been won in 37 years, we won by 11%. I mean, it wasn’t like a baby victory. It was like the greatest, you know, I’d use a different word, but because we’re on TV, greatest butt kicking in the history of the world. And, you know, you want to talk about the art of the comeback.

(Speaker 1)
That was, that was the true art of the comeback. There was a great foreshadowing in his early life when he named that book to exactly where we sat, you know, a year ago.

(Speaker 10)
You know, talking about the art of the comeback, when he got up in Butler after You know, he was shot and said, fight, fight.

(Speaker 40)
I mean, I don’t know.

(Speaker 10)
It’s very difficult to describe. Tell me about that time, like about your experience of that from the outside.

(Speaker 1)
So I took a lot of heat about six weeks before Butler. I said, listen, I wouldn’t be surprised if they tried to inflict bodily harm. They tried everything, right? First, they tried to laugh. at him. Ha, ha, ha, he can never make it.

(Speaker 1)
He’s not a serious guy. Remember, Obama was saying he’s not a serious guy. This is coming from a guy who was a community organizer. Give me a break. He never built anything in his life, and he’s saying that Donald Trump isn’t a serious guy. And then, obviously, they tried to silence him, and then all the lawfare wasn’t working.

(Speaker 1)
And I said, listen, the next logical course of events is violence.

(Speaker 3)
That’s what they do. When they lose the narrative, they resort to violence. I mean, that’s what happened to Charlie Kirk. And I called it right. I mean, I called it right. And I called on Hannity.

(Speaker 3)
And I got absolutely shelled. He’s an alarmist. And then sure enough, obviously, six weeks later, Butler. And then two months after that, what happened to the golf course? And about a year after that was obviously what happened to our good friend. But no, those are difficult times, difficult times.

(Speaker 3)
When you lose the narrative, resort to violence. And that’s exactly what the left has been willing to do. It’s crazy. It’s crazy the times that we live in. Never did I think that the country would get to this point. At the same time, I can tell you universally, people are sick and tired of the games and nonsense, and they’re all seeing it.

(Speaker 3)
And I think that’s why you’ve had the mass exodus from the Democratic Party in this country. I think it’s why in a four -year period of time, you turned every college kid in this nation from, you know, having been indoctrinated by every teacher and tenured professor and been taught revisionist history and to literally, you know, solidly being in our camp, and the pendulum has swung in ways that I think most people in most countries probably can’t even comprehend, and I’m very proud to have played a big part in that.

(Speaker 10)
How big an impact do you think what happened in Butler had on 2024, on the election?

(Speaker 1)
A massive. I mean, when I saw the hand in the air, I thought to myself, hey, we just won the election, right? People aren’t gonna stand for this. And people know the radical left for who they are. They’re not hypocritical. The radical left isn’t hiding who they are anymore.

(Speaker 1)
We know exactly who they are. You know, they’re the ones who will call you a fascist, yet sit on a rooftop in all black, you know, holding a sniper rifle, you know, and shoot somebody who’s peacefully exercising the First Amendment. Right? I mean, to me, that’s what fascism looks like, not the person speaking on the other end of it. And again, the bullets are only flying one way. Hence, Steve Scalise, my father twice, Charlie Kirk, what they almost did to Kavanaugh.

(Speaker 1)
and so many others, right? They wanted to lead our voices. They don’t want guys like me on that stage. They don’t want guys like me doing events like we’re gonna do today. They want us in their basement. They want us doing effectively what Joe Biden did during 2020, where he didn’t leave his basement, he wasn’t heard from.

(Speaker 1)
We didn’t stand a chance if that’s our playbook. I mean, Hillary outraised us in 2016, five to one, right? If we weren’t loud and slightly un -PC and spoke from the heart, and stood on every tractor with a bullhorn in every single swing state, as we did, and spoke at every church and every house and every picnic that we possibly could, no chance we would have won. And they realize that. And I think that’s why they want to make sure that you don’t go outside and you don’t assemble in large crowds. And it’s exactly what we can’t allow to happen.

(Speaker 3)
We have to be more vocal than ever right now. And I think we are. I think we are. And I think people are realizing, again, exactly who that party is. And hence the fact that 50 states, again, swung to the right. we won the popular vote and we won every swing state by a major factor, I think people are subtly coming into our corner right now.

So just hit the link in the description below. And now back to the interview. If I may, of the two older brothers, you seem to be the more low -key one.

(Speaker 10)
But in 2024, you seem very active.

(Speaker 1)
Do you have any aspirations for political office sometime in the future? I’m one of those guys that doesn’t need to be in the spotlight. I’ve run our company for a very long time. I’m very good at it. I love work. I love capitalism.

(Speaker 1)
I love hotels. I love real estate. I enjoy politics. It’s not my first love. Frankly, I detest half the people in politics, because I think most of them are freeloaders who’ve never actually accomplished anything. And You know, the person who’s never signed the front of a check is writing legislation that’s going to apply to every business and every person in our country.

(Speaker 1)
The person that doesn’t know the first thing about health care is making decisions for the lives of millions of people. It doesn’t seem to compute. You see all these, you know, 20 year old kids who get into politics, i . e. Joe Biden, and they’re in politics for 50 years, and then they become president. You know, and you wonder why our country is totally dysfunctional, you know, under their leadership when they’ve never seen an outside perspective.

(Speaker 1)
Their entire lives have been dependent on on checks from the government for making yes -no decisions. I dislike that system. I’m far from shy, but I can also turn off the public spotlight. Oftentimes I like working behind the scenes and getting to an end goal without ever being seen. And certainly when I have to turn it on, I do. I introduced my father at the RNC in front of hundreds of millions of people.

(Speaker 1)
I’m no stranger to the stage. I did thousands of rally events. But also, I was the first person to call him up on, you know, the day that we won on November 6th, early in the morning. We still hadn’t slept and said, you know, pops, I love you to death. Congratulations. We won the Super Bowl.

(Speaker 1)
You know, it’s been the greatest honor of my life to stand on the stage. But I’m going to get back to our company. I’m going to get back to work. There’s no more plays for me to run. There’s no more events for me to do. You got the big W. The country’s in great hands.

(Speaker 1)
You know that the business will be in great hands. You go do what you do best, and I’ll go do what I do best.

(Speaker 10)
And in instances like that, I’m happy to turn it off and go back into the shadows. And I enjoy being able to do that. So I’ll share something briefly, like I had people call me up prior to 2024. You know, ask that question. Hey, people want me to run and I bet there’s people who have told you that as well. And my response was, you know, we need people who are consequential, who know what’s what, and who probably don’t like politics very much.

(Speaker 1)
So how do you respond? I’m not asking you to run, but my question is, you know, is that something you would consider? Yeah, I mean, listen, I don’t rule anything out in the world. And the ecosystem is beautiful. And I think what I’m learning, I mean, I certainly learned this firsthand. were truly under siege the first time.

(Speaker 1)
I think the second time, it’s like, I’m watching my father make transformational change. I mean, look, military recruitment under Biden was the worst it’s ever been in the history of our nation. One month later, like, everybody was applying. Everybody wanted to be in the United States military. There was patriotism again. So there are certain things, I mean, you can just make transformational change on, you know, if you’re a real leader and you do it the right way, you know, forget about all these, these career politicians say, I’m going to go into DC and I’m going to make a difference.

(Speaker 1)
Most of them don’t, and they fall prey to, you know, kind of, you know, Washington DC mob. But listen, I would never rule anything out. I, what I can tell you is I think it’s given us a great voice. Um, I think we’ve all developed a great voice. We have, we had a voice from the business world and we had a voice from the number one reality TV show. I was on The Apprentice for seven years.

(Speaker 1)
You know, we had some confidence, we had some backbone. And then all of a sudden we got into politics and I think we developed a real voice and a real comfort on that stage and real backbone, right? I mean, this stuff requires real backbone as they try and literally and figuratively kill you and every aspect of your soul and your company and your family and your marriage and everything else. And so I think it armored us in a unique way. And I think I could do it. I think I could do it.

(Speaker 1)
But the question is, do you want to? And, you know, we’ve seen the greatest parts of politics. We’ve certainly seen the worst parts. We’ve definitely seen the worst parts. Worse than probably most can ever imagine. Hence the whole point of the book Under Siege, telling all those stories.

(Speaker 1)
But I’d never rule anything out. I believe in this country. I love red, white, and blue. I love our First Amendment. I love our Constitution. We have to stay the dominant superpower of the world.

(Speaker 1)
And you do need good people. And you better. You better have people like Donald Trump, who will set everything aside. set aside his wealth, set aside his fortune, set aside his family, set aside his company. you know, to do the unthinkable. There’s not a lot of courageous people out there, truly, of the Fortune 500 crowd.

(Speaker 1)
Very few of them would say, listen, I’m going to sacrifice all of it to run against 16 Republicans, who actually know a damn about politics, know something about politics, which we did not, and then have to run against somebody like Hillary Clinton, you know, one of the great political dynasties of modern times. you know, only in the off chance of being able to win at a 5 to 1 financial deficit, self -funding your whole campaign. Like, give me another billionaire who would agree to those terms. Zero, right? I mean, these people gamble on probability. And I think traditional sense would say that your probability was probably not very good under those odds, right?

(Speaker 1)
If you’re lining that up and say, OK, you have to run against 16 Republicans, beat them. You have to then beat the Clinton family at a 5 to 1 deficit with the entire media hating you. How many other billionaires would have taken that? Hence the reason you get Joe Biden as your president versus getting Warren Buffett.

(Speaker 10)
That said, you have to have great business leaders, people who can offer transformational change, and I’d love to see many more of them. And if the stars ever aligned, and that was the right calling for me at the time, I’d consider it, I guess.

(Speaker 1)
Just very briefly, you’re donating some of the proceeds from the book to Turning Point in the memory of Charlie Kirk. And just tell me very briefly about that and why. What’s the whole point of Undersiege? I mean, exactly what they did to Charlie. I mean, Charlie would have been the final chapter of that book had the book not come out three days before his assassination. And they want our voice gone.

(Speaker 1)
They want it off that stage. And we can’t allow that to happen. Turning Point’s incredibly important, and independent voice is incredibly important. And so, yeah, I’m going to give a proceeds to the book, you know, a nice percentage over to Turning Point so that their mission continues. And they can’t silence us the way they thought they could silence us. They thought they could just remove his voice with, you know, a $1 bullet.

(Speaker 1)
You know, they were wrong. They can’t do that.

(Speaker 3)
And in fact, it’s a law of unintended consequences that the exact opposite is happening.

(Speaker 10)
I think our voice is stronger than it’s ever been right now.

(Speaker 1)
And just again, super briefly, we’re filming here at Clay Clark’s business conference. And how is it that you happen to be here? Well, Clay is a great friend of mine. I’ve been to this event one or two times before, and it’s amazing. So honored to be here, honored to be with a great friend, honored to be with great people.

(Speaker 3)
It’s fun to be in Oklahoma. Well, Eric Trump, it’s such a pleasure to have had you on.

(Speaker 10)

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. I mean, who else has been able to create a brand like the Trump brand? I mean, look at it. And this is the man behind the business for the last pretty much since 2015.

(Speaker 37)
He’s been the man behind it so you’re talking we’re into nine going into ten years of him running it and we get to tap into that knowledge.

(Speaker 17)
That’s gonna be amazing.

(Speaker 36)
Now think about this for a second.

(Speaker 35)
Nothing is over until we decide it is.

(Speaker 2)
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? German? Forget it, he’s rolling. The lineup continues to grow, and this is how we do our tickets here at the Thrive Time Show. If you want to get a VIP ticket, you can absolutely do it. It’s $500 for a VIP ticket.

(Speaker 2)
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. 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. 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 . com you’ll go there you’ll request a ticket boom or if you want to text me if you want a little bit faster service you say i want you to call me right now i just texted my number it’s my cell phone number my personal cell phone number we’ll keep that private between you, between you, me, everybody.

(Speaker 2)
We’ll keep that private.

(Speaker 34)
And anybody, don’t share that with anybody except for everybody.

(Speaker 2)
That’s my private cell phone number. It’s 918 -851 -0102.

(Speaker 13)
918 -851 -0102. 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.

(Speaker 2)
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 2)
Now, what kind of stuff will you learn at the Thrive Time Show Workshop? So, Aaron, you’ve been to many of these over the past seven, eight years. So let’s talk about it. I’ll tee up the thing and then you tell me what you’re going to learn here, OK? OK. You’re going to learn marketing, marketing and branding.

(Speaker 2)
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. You want to get that brand. brand out there.

(Speaker 2)
It’s like, how do I actually? 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 2)
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, how to manage people. Aaron, you, you, I mean, you’ve done it before. 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 2)
Well, because first of all, people are either have great people or you have people who suck. So it could be a challenge. You know, learning how to work with a large group of people and get everybody pulling in the same direction can be a challenge. But If you have the right systems, you have the right processes, and you’re really good at selecting great ones. And we have a process we teach about how to find great people. When you start with the people who have a great attitude, they’re teachable.

(Speaker 2)
they’re driven, all of those things, then you can get those people all pulling in the same direction. So we’re going to teach you branding, marketing, sales, search engine optimization. We’re going to teach you accounting. We’re going to teach you personal finance, how to manage your finance. We’re going to teach you time management. How do you manage your time?

(Speaker 2)
How do you get more done during a typical day? How do you build an organization if you’re not organized? How do you do organization? How do you build an org chart? Everything that you need to know to start and grow a business will be taught during this two day interactive business workshop. Now let me tell you how the format is set up here.

(Speaker 2)
And again, folks, this is a two day interactive 15. Think about this, folks. It’s two days. Each day it starts at 7am and it goes until 5pm. So from 7am to 5pm, two days, it’s a two day interactive workshop. The way we do it is we do a 30 minute teaching session

(Speaker 2)
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? 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 one.

(Speaker 2)
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. And then we literally, as you mentioned, we answer every single question on the whiteboard.

(Speaker 2)
And then we take a 15 minute break to stretch. And this is also your opportunity to meet some of the great speakers like Pastor Dave Scarlett. You could meet Mel K. You could meet Amanda Grace. You could meet Dr. Stella Emanuel. You could just grab a coffee.

(Speaker 21)
You could find some alone time.

(Speaker 2)
You could get lost in the bathroom. 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. It’s going to be great.

(Speaker 2)
And then you’re in the company of hundreds of entrepreneurs. So there’s not a lot of people in America today. In fact, there’s less than 10 million people today, according to US Debt Clock, that identifies being self -employed. So if you have a country with 350 million people, that means you have less than 3 % of our population that’s even self -employed. So you only have three out of every 100 people in America that are self -employed. to begin with.

(Speaker 2)
And when Inc.

(Speaker 17)
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.

I’m a brand strategist and it’s been really easy to go to a lot of events like this and just leave really in your head like what to do next. and already there’s the strategic, step -by -step, real -life implementation that we can do to our business, and I’m super excited to be here, and very excited that Eric Hump is here, and that is going to be epic. My name is Erica, and it has been amazing being here at the conference. I’m learning so much. Everything is perfect for me.

(Speaker 8)
Clay Clark, man, he is one character. It’s a good word for character. Yeah, that is it.

(Speaker 12)
Good, driven, smart. And I’ve never met a guy who was so hyper all the time. He’s doing so much good.

(Speaker 8)
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. So it was great meeting you out there and all the people that he surrounds himself with.

(Speaker 12)
His client Clark starts his days at five o ‘clock in the morning.

(Speaker 3)
Oh, it’s incredible. Yeah, he’s he’s like, he’s he’s a machine. He’s a machine. But his you know, I could I have problems with my company starting at nine o ‘clock. Yes. Hundreds of people showing up at 5am in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

(Speaker 3)
Man, he’s a leader of a leader. He’s a fantastic young man. Oh, he is.

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

(Speaker 3)
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 19)
So…

(Speaker 18)
Thank you, my friend.

(Speaker 3)
Clay Clark is here somewhere. Where’s my buddy Clay?

(Speaker 7)
Clay’s the greatest. I met his goats today. I met his dogs. I met his chickens. I saw his compound. He’s like the greatest guy.

(Speaker 7)
I ran from his goats, his chickens, his dogs. So this guy’s like the greatest marketer you’ve ever seen, right? His entire life, Clay Clark, his entire life is marketing. 4 ,000 % from February to February. Now, I can better that.

(Speaker 8)
Okay, Clay, I don’t think you know this. I don’t think you know this.

(Speaker 2)
I’m pinching myself, and if I cry, forgive me. In the last two and a half days, we have bettered our entire month of February in the last two and a half days. And the phone’s blowing up.

(Speaker 25)
Everything’s just blowing up.

(Speaker 24)
You’re right.

(Speaker 2)
It is like a rocket ship. We’re pinching ourselves, actually. I learned at the Academy at King’s Point in New York, acta non verba. Watch what a person does, not what they say. We’re going to move into action mode here. So for anybody out there, if you say, I would like to go to Mar -a -Lago.

(Speaker 2)
Now, Jackson, you know, this just in, they raided 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.

(Speaker 2)
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.

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

(Speaker 3)
com, you buy a copy of the book Under Siege, then you just text a screenshot of your purchase, your proof of purchase. You text my number, 918 -851 -0102. You have a chance to win a dinner at Mar -a -Lago with Eric Trump and myself, and there’s more. Mar -a -Lago right there, just for your viewers. It’s the most exclusive private club in the world. $2 million to get into.

(Speaker 3)
It’s just base membership fee. And I promise we’re going to make your night absolutely incredible. The play goes, listen, why don’t we do this? Why don’t we put it out to all the amazing Reawaken people, all the people who supported us all around the world? all around, you know, at every one of these conferences who adore your family. You know, we’ve got to beat the New York Times.

(Speaker 3)
The New York Times is going to do everything they can. Even though we’re number one on Amazon right now, we just hit number one this morning. New York Times is going to do everything they can to keep you from being number one bestseller. You know that, I know that, you know the games that they’re willing to play. But Clay goes, why don’t we do a couple of things?

(Speaker 1)
First of all, I love having dinner with Clay.

(Speaker 3)
He’s the greatest.

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

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

(Speaker 2)
That’s step one, OK? Yes. You buy a copy of the book, Pop Quiz. What book? Under Siege. You buy a copy of Under Siege, and then you screenshot a picture of that, and you text my phone number.

(Speaker 2)
It’s 918 -851 -0102. Folks, that is my cell phone number.

(Speaker 23)
So we’ll keep that private between you and me and everybody.

(Speaker 22)
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 2)
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.

(Speaker 3)
Now, someone says, when does this contest end?

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

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

(Speaker 2)
That’s why we’re clarifying. So between now and October 14th. Now folks let me just clarify this real quick here so make sure I’m leaving you with some good clarity here. One, you buy a copy of Under Siege on Amazon. That’s the step one.

(Speaker 2)
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. You have a chance to have dinner with Eric Trump at Mar -a -Lago. And I want to tell you some benefits of buying the book.

(Speaker 2)
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. It’s a book you got to have.

(Speaker 2)
Now here is just a quick editor’s note. You do not have to buy a copy of Eric Trump’s book Under Siege to be entered into the drawing.

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

(Speaker 3)
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? 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.

(Speaker 3)
And you know Benny. And Benny’s a very good friend of mine. And Cash Patel is a very good friend of mine and was a very good friend of Charlie’s. I mean, you watch everybody that’s up on that stage every single day as they got to the bottom of exactly what happened. And they brought justice to what happened. or are trying to bring justice to what happened.

(Speaker 3)
And it’s kind of unthinkable. But you know St. Jude, and I talk a lot about St. Jude in this book, because fighting pediatric cancer has always been 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 country. 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. on stages across the country and three campaigns. I’ve stood on thousands of them. And honestly, they don’t want us to stand on that stage. That’s why they’re sending bullets from rooftops.

(Speaker 21)
They don’t want us to go out there with a bullhorn and have loud, independent thought.

(Speaker 3)
When they see these beautiful arenas full of kids and they’re cheering, they’re celebrating, they’re holding American flags, they don’t want that. And so they want to silence us. They want to silence our voice. That’s why they killed Charlie. That’s why they tried to kill my father. That’s why they sent 112 subpoenas to me.

(Speaker 2)
That’s why they wanted me in jail and my father in jail and Don in jail. That’s why they made up the hoaxes.

(Speaker 20)
They wanted to see us destroyed and gone with no voice, with no money, with no company, with no political assets.

(Speaker 2)
gone. And we can’t allow that to happen. And so we need to make sure that turning point continues. We need to make sure incredible patriots like you continue to spread, you know, sensical speech, pro -American values, pro -religious, pro -constitutional values. And that’s why I want to donate the funds to Turning Point. I want to donate a portion of the funds to Turning Point, because we can’t allow anarchy to win, and we can’t allow voices to be deleted.

(Speaker 3)
And we need to keep Charlie’s legacy going. Eric Trump, thank you so much for joining us.

(Speaker 8)
Pastor Jackson, thank you so much for joining us.

(Speaker 12)
Absolutely. Eric, have a great day.

(Speaker 8)
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.

(Speaker 8)
See you later. But Clay Clark, man, he is one character.

(Speaker 12)
That’s a good word for character. Yeah, that is it. Good, driven, smart.

(Speaker 8)
And I’ve never met a guy who was so hyper all the time. He’s doing so much good. And then I met his mother, and she just says, she just lets him be Clay Clark. I mean, so he’s endorsed by his mother. And he’s doing magnificent work.

(Speaker 5)
So it was great meeting you out there and all the people that he surrounds himself with.

(Speaker 19)
His client Clark starts his days at five o ‘clock in the morning. Oh, it’s incredible.

(Speaker 3)
Yeah, he’s he’s like, he’s he’s a machine. He’s a machine. But his you know, I got I have problems with my company starting at nine o ‘clock. Yes. Hundreds of people showing up at 5am in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

(Speaker 19)
Man, he’s a leader of a leader.

(Speaker 18)
He’s a fantastic young man.

(Speaker 3)
No, he is. Clay Clark is here somewhere.

(Speaker 7)
Where’s my buddy Clay? Clay’s the greatest. I met his goats today. I met his dogs. I met his chickens. I saw his compound.

(Speaker 7)
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%.

(Speaker 8)
from February to February. Now, I can better that. Okay, Clay, I don’t think you know this.

(Speaker 5)
I don’t think you know this. I’m pinching myself, and if I cry, forgive me. In the last two and a half days, we have bettered our entire month of February in the last two and a half days. So, and the phone’s blowing up. Everything’s just blowing up. You’re right, it is like a rocket ship.

(Speaker 5)
So, we’re pinching ourselves, actually. I learned at the Academy, King’s Point in New York, Acta non verba. Watch what a person does. not what they say. I definitely just stared at the walls figuring out how to make my facility look like this place. This place rocks.

(Speaker 5)
It’s invigorating. The walls are super, it’s just very cool. The atmosphere is cool. The people are nice. It’s a pretty cool place to be. Very good learning atmosphere.

(Speaker 5)
I literally want to model it and steal everything that’s here at this facility and basically create it just on our business side. Hilarious. I literally laughed so hard that I started having tears yesterday. And we’ve been learning a lot, which, you know, we’ve been sitting here, we’ve been learning a lot, and so the humor definitely helps, it breaks it up. But the content is awesome, off the charts, and it’s very interactive, you can raise your hand, it’s not like you’re just listening to the professor speak, you know? The wizard teaches, but the wizard interacts and he takes questions, so that’s awesome.

(Speaker 5)
If you’re not attending the conference, you’re missing about three quarters to half of your life. You’re definitely, it’s probably worth a couple thousand dollars. So you’re missing the thought process of someone that’s already started like nine profitable businesses. So not only is it a lot of good information, but just getting in the thought process of Clay Clark or Dr. Zellner or any of the other coaches, getting in their thought process of how they’re starting all these businesses, to me, just that is priceless. That’s money.

(Speaker 14)
Well, we’re definitely not getting upsold here.

(Speaker 5)
My wife and I have attended conferences where it was great information, and then they upsold us, like, half the conference. And I don’t want to, like, bang my head into a wall. And she’s, like, banging her head into the chair in front of her. Like, it’s good information, but we’re like, oh my gosh, I want to strangle you. Shut up and go with the presentation that we paid for. And that’s not here.

(Speaker 5)
There’s no upsells or anything. So that’s awesome. I hate that. Oh, that makes me angry. So glad that’s not happening. So the cost.

(Speaker 5)
of this conference is quite a bit cheaper than business college.

(Speaker 11)
I went to a small private liberal arts college and got a degree in business.

(Speaker 5)
And I didn’t learn anything like they’re teaching here. I didn’t learn linear workflows. I learned stuff that I’m not using and I haven’t been using for the last nine years. So what they’re teaching here is actually way better than what I got at business school. And I went what was actually ranked as a very good business school.

(Speaker 5)
I would definitely recommend that people would check out the Thrive 15 conference. The information that you’re going to get is just very, very beneficial.

(Speaker 17)
And the mindset that you’re going to get, that you’re going to leave with, is just absolutely worth the price of a little bit of money and a few days worth of your time.

(Speaker 5)
I’m Rachel with Tip Top K9, and we just want to give a huge thank you to Clay and Vanessa Clark. Hey, guys. I’m Ryan with Tip Top K9. Just want to say a big thank you to Thrive 15.

(Speaker 16)
Thank you to Make Your Life Epic.

(Speaker 11)
We love you guys. We appreciate you and really just appreciate how far you’ve taken us. This is our old house, right? This is where we used to live. Here’s the house.

(Speaker 5)
This, see? So this is my old van and our old school marketing. And this is our old team. And by team, I mean it’s me and another guy. This is our new house with our new neighborhood. This is our new van with our new marketing, and this is our new team.

(Speaker 11)
We went from four to 14, and I took this beautiful photo.

(Speaker 15)
We worked with several different business coaches in the past, and they were all about helping Ryan sell better and just teaching sales, which is awesome, but Ryan is a really great salesman, so we didn’t need that.

(Speaker 1)
We needed somebody to help us get everything that was in his head out into systems, into manuals and scripts, and actually build a team. So now that we have systems in place, we’ve gone from 1 to 10 locations in only a year. In October 2016, we grossed $13 ,000 for the whole month. Right now it’s 2018, the month of October. It’s only the 22nd, we’ve already grossed a little over $50 ,000 for the whole month, and we still have time to go. We’re just thankful for you, thankful for Thrive and your mentorship.

(Speaker 1)
and we’re really thankful that you guys have helped us to grow a business that we run now instead of the business running us. Just thank you, thank you, thank you, times a thousand. So we really just want to thank you, Clay, and thank you, Vanessa, for everything you’ve done, everything you’ve helped us with. We love you guys. Hello, my name is Charles Colaw with Colaw Fitness. Today I want to tell you a little bit about Clay Clark and how I know Clay Clark.

(Speaker 1)
Clay Clark has been my business coach since 2017. He’s helped us grow from two locations to now six locations. We’re planning to do seven locations in seven years and then franchise. And Clay has done a great job of helping us navigate anything that has to do with like running the business, building the systems, the checklists, the workflows, the audits, how to navigate lease agreements, how to buy property, how to work with brokers and builders. This guy is just amazing. This kind of guy has worked in every single industry.

(Speaker 1)
He’s written books with like Lee Crockrell, head of Disney with the 40 ,000 cast members. He’s friends with like Mike Lindell. He does reawaken America tours where he does these tours all across the country where 10 ,000 or more people show up to some of these tours on the day -to -day. He does anywhere from about 160 companies. He’s at the top. He has a team of business coaches, videographers, and graphic designers and web developers, and they run 160 companies every single week.

(Speaker 1)
So think of this guy with a team of business coaches running 160 companies. So in the weekly, he’s running 160 companies. Every six to eight weeks, he’s doing Reawaken America tours. Every six to eight weeks, he’s also doing business conferences where 200 people show up and he teaches people a 13 -step proven system that he’s done and worked with billionaires helping them grow their companies. So he’s I’ve seen guys from startups go from startup to being multi -millionaires, teaching people how to get time freedom and financial freedom through the system. Critical thinking, document creation, making it putting

(Speaker 1)
it into, uh, or organizing everything in their head to building into a franchisable scalable business. Like one of his businesses has like 500 franchises. That’s just one of the companies or brands that he works with. So amazing guy, Elon Musk, kind of like smart guy. Um, he kind of comes off sometimes as socially awkward, but he’s so brilliant and he’s taught me so much. When I say that, like Clay is like, he doesn’t care what people think when you’re talking to him.

(Speaker 1)
He cares about, where you’re going in your life and where he can get you to go. And that’s what I like him most about him. He’s like a good coach. A coach isn’t just making you feel good all the time. A coach is actually helping you get to the best you. And Clay has been an amazing business coach.

(Speaker 1)
Through the course of that, we became friends. I was really most impressed with him is when I was shadowing him one time. We went into a business deal and listened to it. I got to shadow and listen to it. And when we walked out, I knew that he could make millions on the deal. And they were super excited about working with him.

(Speaker 1)
And he told me, he’s like, I’m not going to touch it. I’m going to turn it down because he knew it was going to harm the common good of people in the long run. And the guy’s integrity just really wowed me. It brought tears to my eyes to see that this guy, he doesn’t, his highest desire was to do what’s right. And anyways, just an amazing man. So anyways, impacted me a lot.

(Speaker 1)
He’s helped navigate any time I’ve gotten nervous or worried about how to run the company or, you know. navigating competition and an economy that’s like, I remember we got closed down for three months. He helped us navigate on how to stay open, how to get back open, how to just survive through all the COVID shutdowns, lockdowns, because our clubs were all closed for three months. And you have $350 ,000 of bills you’ve got to pay, and we have no accounts receivable. He helped us navigate that. And of course, we were conservative enough that we could afford to take that on for a period of time.

(Speaker 1)
Great man. I’m very impressed with him. So Clay, thank you for everything you’re doing. And I encourage you, if you haven’t worked with Clay, work with Clay. He’s going to help magnify you. And there’s nobody I have ever met that has the ability to work as hard as he does.

(Speaker 14)
He probably sleeps four, maybe six hours a day.

(Speaker 2)
And literally the rest of the time he’s working. And he can outwork everybody in the room. every single day, and he loves it. So anyways, this is Charles Kola with Kola Fitness. Thank you, Clay. And anybody out there that’s wanting to work with Clay, it’s a great, great opportunity to ever work with him.

(Speaker 2)
So you guys have a blessed one. This is Charles Kola. We’ll see you guys. Bye -bye. a Lamborghini all of a sudden so I was willing to listen. In my career I’ve sold a little over 800 million dollars in real estate.

(Speaker 2)
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. 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.

(Speaker 2)
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. 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.

(Speaker 2)
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. 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.

(Speaker 2)
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 six months ago 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. 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.

(Speaker 2)
I know that’s how I felt coming in. I mean, we’re a big company that’s definitely one of the largest in town.

(Speaker 13)
And so we kind of felt like we knew what we were doing.

(Speaker 4)
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. 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.

(Speaker 4)
That would have been a huge financial decision to just decide not to give it a shot. 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. 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?

(Speaker 4)
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.

(Speaker 4)
But one thing that was really difficult for me was the business side of things, 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.

(Speaker 6)
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. 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.

(Speaker 6)
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. When you dream big, big things happen. additional outside help in many ways. I mean, I went to medical school.

(Speaker 6)
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 embezzlement. 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.

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. I’m Dr. Chad Edwards and I own Revolution Health and Wellness Clinic.
