Oxi Fresh - Facebook How To Get Your Time Back

Speaker 1:
Jason, wouldn’t you say that the number one issue that our business coaching clients run into, or the number one issue that our conference attendees run into is they say they don’t have enough time to get the stuff done? Is that correct? That is highly correct. So at the conferences we teach specifically what you need to do to get stuff done. We teach the proven path, the success, the success strategies, the actual best practice systems. But if you don’t have time to get it done, you can’t get it done. Jason, what if we had a show that would help our listeners create an extra 10 hours per week? Would that be helpful? That’d be extremely helpful. Well, on today’s show, we are joined by Oxi fresh, his franchise branded offer, Matt Klein. To share specifically how you can create more time

Speaker 2:

Speaker 1:

And then we’d go back in and we edit the show later. So that way Matt Klein is, you know, part of the show. But we call him first and then we edit it into the intro. Oh are we going to change it up today? We’re going to call him right now and the listeners can hear us calling them that way they know that we actually do call this guy. So I’m gonna call him right now. Let me queue it up here. Going on to Skype. I’m hitting the number. It’s ringing. Oh, so this is real. This is real Zuck. It’s not gonna be that edited stuff. No, it’s raw. It’s real. It’s real and raw. But will he pick up? That’s the question. It’s Matt. Matt Klein. You are just looking fine.

Matt Kline:
Sorry about that. I was, I didn’t know why I couldn’t hear the phone ring.

Speaker 1:
Hey, no problem. I was just just taking a shower and I couldn’t find my pants. So I thought I might as well just give you a call.

Matt Kline:
One thing, can you call me on the office line? I usually just do this with the headphones in. Yeah. Yeah, but can you call me on my side? Cause I’ve got a few people in here. They’re not going to talk or anything. They just kind of want to hear.

Speaker 1:
Yeah, you know what I’m going to do. I can handle that kind of rejection. So I’m going to call the, let me clarify what number I’m going to call real quick here. Let me just read the number. I’m going to call her. I just wanna make sure. Let me, I think he was saying he just wants to hang up when you clay is that, let me, let me just verify the number here. I’m looking for the three calls. I wouldn’t want to hang up on you as well. Is it? (720) 963-6131. Got it. Okay. I’ll call you right back on that number. That’s the numbers mixture. It’s (720) 963-6131. Okay. I’m calling you right back. All right, one second. Okay. Now we’re going to call back line back. Thrivers if you’re out there looking for a good time, call seven two zero nine six three and then six one three one for a good time. If you’re out there looking for a good time, call that number. That’s Matt Klein. You can buy an Oxi fresh franchise or just have a great time. Here we go. We’re bringing,

Speaker 2:
are you there?

Matt Kline:
I am. You hear me?

Speaker 1:
Oh yeah, yeah, you can hear me now. You feel you sound good. You feel good? Do you feel like you sound good?

Speaker 2:
[inaudible]

Speaker 1:
okay, we’re there. Well Matt, today I wanted to talk today about things that don’t matter.

Speaker 1:
Okay. You know how like sometimes you running a franchise and there’s things that just don’t matter like an employee quit and goes to work for the competition. And although it may be was the low road, although you didn’t like it, although it was bad, you just got to move on or you know, somebody keys your Oxi fresh, you know, rap, that kind of thing, you know and you’re mad about it. What do you do? So let’s, let’s go ahead and do that and I’ll go back in and do some clever editing, my friend. Right? Okay. So yes, yes, yes and yes. And on today’s show we are joined with Matt Klein. Matt Klein. Welcome to the line my friend. How are you sir?

Matt Kline:
I’m doing great. I appreciate the time here and look forward to having a conversation with you guys.

Speaker 1:
Okay, now Matt Klein, we’re talking today about the things that don’t matter. I’ve got a list here of things that don’t matter and that I think a lot of times if we’re, if we’re honest with ourselves and Josh, you, you run a company, we’ll live in water irrigation. If we’re honest with ourselves as small business owners, we could spend a lot of time doing stuff that doesn’t matter our entire day. And so what I’m gonna do is I’m gonna try to give the listeners back a gift called their time. If I could turn back time share once said, the wise modern philosopher, Cher said if I could turn back time, but it was a deeper voice because it’s share and ship fish nets on river that Matt, you remember that video? The fish net.

Matt Kline:
That was one of my favorite favorite times in my entire life.

Speaker 1:
Are you watching it right now, Matt? Are you watching it right now? It was all those Navy [inaudible].

Matt Kline:
Should I, I mean I have to mute it when we get on this thing, but yeah, it’s always streaming in the back of my computer.

Speaker 1:
She was on a, a boat with a bunch of Navy sailors and all the listeners out, they should, they should do a YouTube search right now for if I could turn back time and watch the share video, because watching that video is an Epic waste of time. It’s an absolute waste of time, but you can watch the video, um, or you can stop it. And when you stop it, you get your time back. Much like when you stop doing some of these things, I call Jack ass or you’re going to get your time back. So Matt, I’m gonna throw up the problem, throw out the problem, share the problem, and then you tell me, uh, what you do at Oxi fresh when this happens to you as a franchise owner yourself. So here we go. You get a bad review from someone who was not a customer.

Speaker 2:
Yeah.

Matt Kline:
This is something that’s happened to me. Um, I’ve had it too, where I’ve had a customer give me a bad review because we couldn’t service her the day she wanted it. So we were just too busy. Um, you know, I tried to handle it. I tried to get it taken care of and you know, we just couldn’t make that person happy. So you know there are people that are franchisees out there that really kind of hang on these things. You’re not going to change it, move on, just get more views and very that thing so you don’t have to worry about it. But yes, this is one of my favorite topics because there are so many things that are just consuming people’s time that will not change their bottom line or change their business. That was one, try your best to make the customer happy and then it’s move on.

Speaker 1:
Okay, so now another one, and Josh, before we move on though, this can be hard. This could be, I would like to take the, the, the side of, of the person out there who just wasted their entire day responding to a bad review. And I would like to, um, pile on. Can I, can I read my bad reviews real quick? Can I do that? Is that, is that fair? Is that a fun game? Love it. I think it’s fun. Okay, thanks. You guys can see this. If it’s a fun game for you but for me because it’s my business. This isn’t a fun game. You guys are sick. Do Matt and I get to pile on as you read your reviews? Well this is for elephant in the room now the key to finding, we have 1,335 reviews of of this particular store. This is our store at Yale and Matt. I’m going to have sort by the worst ones because we have a 4.9 score right now. 4.9 Matt is a 4.9 pretty good.

Matt Kline:
Pretty good.

Speaker 1:
Is 1300 reviews pretty good. Okay. That’s pretty okay. Great. When we come up top and Google, I’m going to the lowest first one. Their haircuts are fine. The challenge for me is the subscription model you have to pay monthly.

Speaker 2:
Okay.

Matt Kline:
If she doesn’t like the subscription model, she should go to a different Erika place cause that’s basically what the elephant, the room is.

Speaker 1:
Okay. How many days did you spend lamenting about that clay? None. No. We have a hairstylist who’s a competitor who, this is a hairstylist. She applied for a job and who she is, and she didn’t get a job from us because she applied and she just didn’t get a job, so she wrote all their reviews or faked and forced their employees. Ask every customer for a review

Speaker 2:
that is more authentic.

Speaker 1:
Now another guy writes in, this is Heidi says, only went in here because my late fiance had been bugging me for months before she passed away. The woman who cut my hair butchered my hair and spit on my fiance’s memory in the process. I am never ever returning to this place. Geez. Oh guys, these are filled out. That’s really what it says. Now this is,

Matt Kline:
that’s one of your fake leads you got from the aggressive

Speaker 1:
Oh review and I don’t know if it’s still up here, what store it’s on, but it was very funny. This guy said, I was applying for an executive level job and my haircut was so bad. I did not get my job. I did not get the job.

Speaker 4:
[inaudible]

Speaker 1:
and I talked to this individual on two occasions after [inaudible].

Matt Kline:
Yeah, to pass blame. That is, that’s a good one. Let me do another one, but did you always get a haircut before you go to John Harvey? You can’t blame it on yourself, so that’s perfect. Perfect.

Speaker 1:
Here’s another one. Um, since my last review was deleted, I will post this again. Do not give these people your info because what they is is when you schedule a haircut, because they will fill up your voicemail. He goes on to share. He missed his appointment and we kept calling him to see when we wanted to reschedule.

Speaker 1:
I mean, these are real ones. These are fabulous. Would never go there again. Service was terrible. Now this is what I have chosen to do. Whenever I’m not happy with the service, I choose to just take my dollars elsewhere. If you ever had that idea, Josh, Oh, that’s exactly what I do. I just go somewhere else and less and less we’re talking about airline travel. Then I have to fly American every time, which is why the company’s a mascot is AAA. The company’s mascot. American airlines is alcoholics anonymous because they turn the average normal people into at raging alcoholics with their delayed flights. But we can’t go anywhere else. There are no, there are no other opportunities. I do not leave them a bad review, but I’m just telling you, if you’re out there and you’ve ever flown on American airlines and it didn’t go well, I’m with you.

Speaker 1:
So here we go. So we have people out there that leave a bad review. Josh, how do you deal with it? So a full transparency. A couple of years ago when we got our first one star review. Oh yeah, I’ll, I’ll limited on it. Oh, it was terrible. I’ve done it too. Terrible. Horrible. Oh gosh. It was terrible. The weekend is bad. The day’s bad that it goes into the weekend dinners. Bads kicked my dog when I get home. Your wife says, how are you? You’re like flying fives. Great day. Now the problem is, but now when I do one, yeah, just I call, I address it, see what we can do to try to, to take care of them and try to right the wrong. If it’s something that is beyond my control or beyond rational thought, I move on with my life. But okay. But again, we, all of us have struggled at one point to get over this.

Speaker 1:
But the problem is if you grow in Oxi fresh Matt, you have more and more clients. So even if you only had a complaint out of one out of every a hundred times, I mean, think if you were shooting free throws, if you made 99 out of a hundred free throws, you’re the best ever. Now, if you’re cleaning carpets and you have 99 great services provided and one displeased person, you’re getting a bad review. So if you, if you grow a company and you serve as thousands and thousands of customers per year and you don’t get over this, you can never have a good day because every day you might get a bad review. Think about this elephant in the room, 4,000 members and 1% of them per month, one to 2% are usually uh, upset because we made a mistake. Cause it’s a skill. It’s a, it’s hair. It’s like an art kind of thing, you know? So that means 40 people a month to 80 people a month. Hate me. And I used to let it bother me, but now I take the high road. I just don’t go outside. Okay, so now the next, the next area, Matt, is if somebody cuts you off in traffic. Oh, you’re a technician. You’re driving around, you’re Oxi fresh mobile.

Speaker 6:
[inaudible]

Speaker 1:
Oxi fresh dude. Dude, dude. Hi. I’m here to clean your carpets. Oxi fresh. So you’re in your car, someone cuts you off. What do you do? And someone cuts you off. Shoot. What do you do? Do you, do you pull over? Do you give him the finger? Do you threaten him? Do you film it on video? Do you post it on YouTube? Do you get outraged? Do you go on Facebook? Man? What’s the best practice at Oxi freshman?

Matt Kline:
Best practice is to just, uh, go to your job and forget it. Because our, our, our vehicles are GPS tracks. So no harm, no foul. It’s going to happen, right? Our guys are driving around all days. So it’s just, just part of it. Someone cuts you off and you make it a bigger situation than it needs to be. That that’s potentially a bad thing for an employee because you’re in a company vehicle. So you better just calm down, figured out. That’s not the job you’re there to do. Uh, get the job and get it taken care of so we can actually pay it and we can move on. I don’t have a whole bunch of sympathy for road rage.

Speaker 1:
Uh, I had a client who’s not a client anymore, Matt Udall and enjoy the story. True story. I, I’ll tell you who it is after, uh, Josh cause you, you would like this guy, he gets co co someone cuts him off in traffic. He proceeds to follow them for miles over in Oklahoma, which is a state where you can conceal carry. So I guess he follows this guy for miles to give him a piece of his mind, right? So he pulls up next to the guy and I guess the guy proceeds then to pull a weapon on him. This is on the shoulder of the road now. And then he proceeds to pull out his weapon. Whoa. True story. And these two proceeded to have like a jousting thing. He came into my meeting, we have a weekly meeting. He comes in, he goes, you wouldn’t believe what happened.

Speaker 1:
I said, why? Well, one, I follow this guy. He cut me off to a fault, him for miles. I said, how long do you phone him? He said, miles, probably 10 miles. Follow the gun. I pull over on the side of the road. He finally pulls over. He pulls out a weapon. I pull out a bigger weapon. We’re waving weapons at each other. Cops come by, see this happening. And both of us said, we felt threatened. I’m doing all this paperwork and police stuff. And got my week’s been Tara. And I said, perhaps you shouldn’t follow people around who cuts you off in traffic, to which he said something to the effect of, I strongly dislike you, Mr. Clark. Um, and then he left. It’s interesting. So Josh, what happens when someone cuts you off at living water irrigation in one of your living water irrigation, beautiful trucks.

Speaker 1:
Ah, I hope that they’re safe and they’re able to get where they can go and I just continue going where I’m going because I have more important things to do than to follow somebody around. Really. Yeah. You don’t waste your time on road rage, road rage. No. No, I don’t think it’s a good idea and I don’t really think that it’s a positive use of time. Matt, trying to convince morons to not be more odds. You know, you have an employee, you made a bad hire. We’ve all done it, but the problem is he’s your cousin. That’s the problem. The problem is not Matt’s cousin. Oh, but it’s my cousin. It’s mine. We can rip on me. I’ve only hired a few idiot cousins. Oh, I have you hire him. The hiring man. If my cousin’s listening get off the show, stop listening to the show.

Speaker 1:
Move on. We’ve talked about this. Stop leaving comments. We’ve already had this discussion, but this guy comes to work and just can’t string together two days in a row of on time. He wanted it. Matt the first day wanted it second days late, then he wants it third day he wants it. Fourth day, can’t do it. Fifth day, what? This goes on and on. Eventually I said, I don’t know, something like, Hey, it’s not working out to which you know, now the family’s enraged. People were calling, I can’t believe you’d fire the guy. What do you do Matt? When you have family working for you or friends who are just dysfunctional, do you spend your life coaching them?

Matt Kline:
Uh, no. I’ve had this before. I mean you coach him to a point where it’s not taking a lot away from your business. If you can change someone’s behavior to make it beneficial, you’re going to be good. Right? And that’s the majority of people. But if you are training someone and they keep repeating habits that are detrimental to your bottom line or trying to do, you know, you can only say sorry so many times. So you know, are you going to spend the time just in misery because you can’t fix someone’s problems. Just find someone else that you can work with. So family or no family. At the end of the day, do you want your business to be successful in the answer’s yes. Then you need to put the right people in place. And if you don’t, that’s your fault.

Speaker 1:
Now chasing endless viral marketing unicorn ideas. Now before I always have to mention the Patriots per show, it’s important that’s I’m contractually bounded by myself to mention the Patriots, but the Patriots, bill Bellacheck just suspended their best defensive player, Mr. Bennett for conduct detrimental to the team and they went out there and beat the jets. You know why? Cause bill Bellacheck is the goat. Why they suspended the guy cause he apparently was not following the systems. So if you’re out there, I mean make like Belicheck and get that guy off the field. Now I dumped time wasting activity number four is chasing endless viral marketing unicorn ideas. Now, Josh, were you recently on good morning America? I will sir. And if people do a search right now for a man uses eight billboards to declare love for wife, you’ll find the thrive time show about it.

Speaker 1:
If you type in Tulsa man buys eight billboards, you’ll find the story. It’s been in Fox 23 Yahoo news. Uh, good morning America people. It’s been fun. Yes sir. And it was something that you did not, what was the, the reason why you did the billboard? Or what was the, I guess what was the, the phrase you put on the billboard? What was the phrase for the Amy, I love you more and that’s your wife. That is my why. And it’s fun being on good morning America. It was a good time. But are you getting rich off it? I can’t say I’m getting rich off of that. No sir. But it’s helpful. But it’s not like a virus. You couldn’t do it every day. No. No. So Matt, you see this, I’m sure you’ve never had an Oxi fresh franchisee who’s decided they want to become an Instagram viral marketing star.

Matt Kline:
Yeah, it happens.

Speaker 1:
Really. So what do you do? People

Matt Kline:
that kinda, we, we absolutely want people to be creative with their marketing. But the reason you would buy a franchise, because we have a system here, so we are all for going down roads that we’ve never been before. But let’s do it as a team so we’re not wasting time and effort and things that we don’t know yet. The beauty of this is we can train some things. We could, we can set some pilot programs and see if it’s worth the money to spend or worth the program do it. But yeah, I mean these are challenging. I once had a guy pin pay $10,000 for a roadside sign after everyone in our entire franchise did that and told him not to. He still did it anyways. So you know, and it was exactly for what you’re saying. You had a friend that was a billboard sign guy and he went hard, even 10,000 deep right?

Speaker 1:
Not our niche and not our niche now. Okay. Now the next one here, Matt, and this just happened, you know, Google always makes updates and one of the updates they made that affected elephant in the room Oxi fresh, everybody with a business and upholstery who understands how Google works, they remove the five star schema that shows up under certain website listings. So if you would Google a certain company name, you might see the five stars appearing underneath the name. Now that’s gone from the search results. You still get reviews on your map, that kind of thing. But asking why technology changes over and over and over instead of moving on. I’m sure you’ve never had that before. Map, you know where it’s like, Oh man, Matt, why did it change? Why? I dunno. I dunno why. I don’t know why ValPack isn’t the only more viable marketing strategy anymore for small business. I don’t know why ValPack is not the only marketing strategy, but Google apparently is a thing, so we need to get reviews, but why? Why Matt talk? Can you talk about this where people waste time asking why, why, why?

Matt Kline:
Yeah. I think the why. Why is it important to understand? But more importantly, if you’re fighting things that are current marketing trends that other companies are taking advantage of, you might as well just sell your business. Because if you’re always, every time something changes, if you’re trying to fight it or ask, why are you not willing to learn about it? Right. There’s another company out there that’s going to, so if you spend that time lamenting and trying to figure it out, you’re going to be behind the ball so you might as well, um, understand that it’s going to change. Look forward to it. If you change your mindset and look forward to those changes and, and really spend the time understanding them and making sure they’re going to help your business, you are going to succeed. Let the other people worry about the why, right? You may never even know the why, but if you take advantage and be the first to market and really embrace those things, your business is going to succeed while other people start asking that why and you know, start pouting about it. So be expect, change and grow with it. If you don’t, you’re going to be in trouble.

Speaker 1:
Now here’s the next one. This one’s gonna hit too close to home too. It’s too close. Matt, this is too close. This is like this. This is such a bad, disgusting idea. It’s going to be like you’re sitting down to have a steak and you’ve been thinking about that steak all day. You’re so excited. And then a friend of yours says, Hey, um, excuse me, Matt, have you seen my? And you go, huh? And you look and there’s a cat anus on your steak, not just the cat face or the paws, but the cat anus. And you’re like, Oh gosh, come on man. And then he says, wait a minute. And there you see little little kid, the little kitty, you know a little truffles is his name, and these name’s truffles or mr Jeeves or something. And mr Jeeves, he looks at you, Matt and makes that cat face like, I’m outta here.

Speaker 1:
But then one last time he puts the tail up and you see the cat anus that was on your steak. That’s how close to home it is. It just, it ruins a day. It’s a bad thing. This next thing is like the cat anus on the steak. It’s going to ruin your life if you let this happen. It’s not getting objective reviews and allowing your employees to not get objective reviews. Matt preached the good news of why you have to get reviews. I have to get reviews and we have got to make our employees gather those objective freaking reviews. Cause if not, it’s like putting a cat anus on a steak.

Matt Kline:
Yup. And it goes back to what we just said. If you’re fighting getting reviews, you might as well sell your business because that’s how customers find you. So if you don’t have the infrastructure and the training, um, capable or the abilities to make sure that the people, the people that are doing the job, the people that are within your company understand the value reviews and are getting them, you’re good. You’re going to fall behind. You’re not going to be able to keep up with the competitors. You need to make this a part of your business because there’s no better way of looking at a company through the eyes of people that have already used your services or product. And if they can basically vouch for you, you’re going to be set. But if you’re struggling with one or two reviews, right? You either need to find people that can teach you how to do it. You need to take a class, you need something because that is going to be the future. It’s not going away. Stop fighting it, embrace it, and your business will benefit from it.

Speaker 1:
Now, Matt, you know this is a show where we don’t talk about politics a lot. I just kind of dance around them. So what I’m going to do is I’m gonna do a little quiz here, and I promise I will not ask you for a political statement, I promise. I promise you I’ve out of the listeners, I would not do that. But it’s going to feel like I’m getting close. But I will not ask you who you voted for. I’m not going to ask your political opinions, but we’re just going to play a game real quick. Okay? The governor of Colorado, maybe he’s Republican, maybe Democrat, I don’t know. I’m the president of the United States. Currently is a Republican or a Democrat for 5,000 mega points.

Matt Kline:
The president of the United States.

Speaker 1:
Yes. Currently,

Matt Kline:
it’s absolutely a Republic.

Speaker 1:
Okay. Now the previous president Obama was a Democrat. Now I’ve known JB in Oxi fresh. I’ve had been having that conversation with JB. Even talking to JB since 1999 is when I met the man for 12 what? 13 years now? Oxi fresh has been getting it done. But no, I’ve been knowing. I’ve been talking to you. I’ve been talking to JB for eight years before I met you. I mean, so we’ve had this conversation and we’ve had a Democrat in office for eight years and we had old George Bush action there for awhile, Republican. Then we had a little a Barack Obama Democrat action. Now he got a little Republican action and who knows it might change, but why is debating politics a bad idea? W if you’re a franchise, a franchisee, a business owner, or a human on the planet earth,

Matt Kline:
well, have you ever, you know, have you ever had a, have you ever looked at or been involved in a argument or discussion around politics that ever got an answer? I would say no.

Speaker 1:
Okay.

Matt Kline:
Keep it to yourself. Don’t miss it with don’t mix it with business, right? You’re there to do a service or a product. Do that at a high level. Um, I don’t know how that would help your business.

Speaker 1:
Final 60 seconds. Three more to hit here. Debating religion. Josh, you have a religious view. I have one too. I’m a Christian. You’re a Christian. That’s great. A lot of listeners are not Christians. Why is debating religion with customers, employees on Facebook or any other social media? A bad use of time

Matt Kline:
because you’re never going to get where you want to get. You should be as a Christian, you should be a great voice and bring joy and bring a light into all situations and season every conversation with salt. But it’s not a good idea to have a religious arguments

Speaker 1:
ever, ever, ever. Okay. Now another one here, Matt Klein is arguing ethics instead of just doing what the law allows. As an example, clay, listen, I want you to make sure you ask your customers for reviews and I might say, yeah, but is it ethical? You know, that kind of crap where I just want to not do it. So I want to argue the ethics. Why is arguing business ethics constantly? Why is that? I mean, if it’s, if it’s legal, if it’s not against the law, why is it a bad idea to debate ethics all day?

Matt Kline:
Yeah. I just don’t know why that, how that’s going to help you, right? There’s things you need to be done that need to be done for your business doing them. If you’re trying to explain ways out of doing something, then just don’t do that. But I mean, I can’t imagine anything in my business that I do that I need to argue ethics about. If you have questions of your own about things that are unethical, you may, you should think about what you’re trying to accomplish. But rarely have I ever sat there and my business important to have an XX discussion around what we’re trying to accomplish. I don’t know how that should be. Uh, you know, unless I got someone stealing stuff from other people, I’m not talking about ethics. He’s just not gonna work for me.

Speaker 1:
Final final, final thing you should stop doing. If you want to get your time back, stop not hiring and interviewing high quality staff. Stop. Not always recruiting. Stop having this mindset that you can ever be done recruiting. Stop being stuck with a dysfunctional team. Matt, break it down.

Matt Kline:
Yeah, this one is super important. If you are doing good by your employees and you are running a good business with a, with a, a growth pattern and you are setting an environment where people want to work for you, it is to be expected that those people are going to get to a point eventually where they’re going to move on and potentially have a better opportunity down the road. If you don’t expect that, then you’re not in an environment, at least to my knowledge or my thought process, it’s going to be building people up and making them, giving them skills they didn’t come to your business with. Right? So if you’re not always looking at new people and always looking at, uh, you know, potential employees that are gonna help your business grow, right, then you’re going to be so the ball when things actually do happen, when somebody quits without knowing or something, you know, uh, you know, God forbid something happens with an illness. You need to have people available that you know, can help your business always. And if you don’t, then anytime something happens, you are going to suffer as a business because you’re gonna have to fill that void instead of having people ready to go for your company when things like that happen. Also, you should be able to have people always, because you as a company should be looking to grow. So if you’re not there, you’re going to be basically behind the ball anytime something happens.

Speaker 1:
