Quote #1 “So, you know, we purchased this building 15 years ago, got a really good price. Uh, we had a great tenant for a good decade, so COVID broke out and we lost our lease with that tenant. And it was a very hard Monday. It was when the covid, like really hit commercial, we just got clobbered. So this, this space kind of stood vacant for a while.” So it took us two years to build out what we have. As you can see, everything is is brand new sparkling cool. And our whole mission for doing that was to create a magnet for connecting with business owners. It's great for business, great for advice, great for everything. To just create a place where the community can, can come together like you saw at the event.   Quote #2 “The big, the big companies out there get taken care of. But not the small people. Yeah. And so small business owner. So as a small business owner, you have access to 1400 potential deductions. Versus a W2 person who, can maybe take two or three. So we're like, Hey, let's make sure that these small business owners are educated, taking time for planning, and actually do it right because they can save themselves a lot of money, put that money back where it belongs in the business”   Quote #3 (On Kevin O’Leary from Shark Tank) “Yeah, you know, the six degrees of separation are getting shorter. I think it's down to like four degrees of separation these days. Mm-hmm. You know? True. Yeah. Very true. So Kevin, Kevin has been a, a stellar partner and he, and you're, you're obviously from what you said earlier, you're not looking for a wall of stars, but to have somebody like that, um, representing your brand is, has gotta be just, uh, gotta be a grand slam because  the credibility factor is just awesome to have a shark there, you know? Yeah. We get spikes, you know, certain things he's been, you know, and what I love about guys like that and his brand. He spends a lot of time building relationships. He doesn't have to, you know, he doesn't.  He has got incredible businesses, but he just shows you how important relationships are. If you're around individuals like that, he's constantly on the phone just like you are” Shawn Links Finnegan360.com taxhive.com Featured song for this episode is "Ride On", check it out on Spotify here https://open.spotify.com/track/5VQzjlHv7qZzyZIOSGkhjU?si=eb0d5a683f2e43d8 For a custom-branded song you can reach James at [email protected] If you wish to have an appointment with James about coaching, use this link. www.calendly.com/dharmic Apple podcast review link Please leave us a 5 Star review, its easy to do, and really helps us out to grow the show! https://digitalhealthtoday.com/support/how-to-review-itunes/ Thank you for doing this my friends!
