[05:39]                                    and in your little list here that I've got, if you're out there on youtube channel, I've got this list that he filled out and one of the things that, uh,

[05:47]                                    he likes to do things fast, which is, that's pretty cool. I mean, we're, we're symbiotic will when it comes to that. Semiotical is that a word? Symbiotic? You can make that audit

[05:57]                                    is but not article. I'll use it so that way you're not alone on that topic. And then you could say, well, I heard it from him.

[06:06]                                    It's mine. Put It on a bumper sticker and I own it. Welcome to the digital marketing world. All right, I've got to ask the question because we've got to humanize you a little bit because nobody really knows who you are within the industrial market. Let's talk a little bit about what you do right for your free time. What do you like

[06:22]                                    free time. Free Time. Well, you mentioned speed. If, if I had my druthers, I would be going fast. Physically, I would be on the race track. Uh, you know, all these tree hugging hippies out here on the west coast. When I moved out of Chicago, went out to Oregon, Oregon, now it's Oregon. I've been here 17 years, the mountain biking, so like whipping through trees and that could kill you. So anything that can put my life on the line, something about that journaling and allows me to feel present in the moment and slows everything down. I literally feel like he's space bending you Ben space in time when you're going super fast. I think in the corner at 90 miles an hour, like it's on a rail boom and the trees are just passing by as extra TPP, TPP. And then what changes is when it stops going by fast, like the slow mo in the movies you see like x man, the guy runs around and like dings down bullets and stuff. There's a state, I just love that I live for that. That's just great.

[07:18]                                    I did some mountain biking in Arizona. Yeah. And it was in a sub dona

[07:24]                                    and it was fantastic. It's great. Top Hod is Haiti's beautiful place. Wife and I went there for our anniversary and I good time under 14 degrees. I can up that hill though.

[07:33]                                    I don't care how your acs working by the way is hot and it's, it's a dry heat.

[07:39]                                    The dry heat, it's a drain that's pulling the skin off your arm. That's the dog. I'm sure that's for sure. Now my buddy that got me into pipe fitting, you know his family is just multiple generations. He just left there and he proved it does get cold. There's snow there right now so it does get cold knowing there right now he was there and it was covered in snow

[08:03]                                    ha and it's beautiful too. Okay. Because we all should go down the road of food because I'm all about food. I enjoy food. I always highlight industrial approved food. I Love Bacon. I love all of that stuff. What's your favorite food?

[08:17]                                    Oh, favorite seat when you dropped that word, it changes a lot fast because as a guy from Chicago I buy off of taste of chicago.com they'll send me Lewminatti is deep dish pizza on dry ice so I can get it like old school Midwestern stuff. My, my, my name is Miller, my feet, I'm the third while feed or Miller senior was originally Maru Shack and a for from Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois. You might've been brought up eating a Marushak sausage. That's my family name. And so a lot of dead animal carcass, but now eat more like a rabbit. So you saw me on the last time, we had a quick little channel, second down, green drinks, juice drinks. So, uh, I went from deep dish pizza to uh, trying to find the healthiest version of stuff. Cause you're a stout guy. I didn't notice that last time we spoke. Holy Moly.

[09:11]                                    That's bling. I took third place in a bodybuilding contest, right? Yeah,

[09:15]                                    yeah, yeah. I did not notice that last time. I, whoa.

[09:18]                                    Well I competed. I was in physique and, and uh, I competed against, I'm walking up and his old man, come on, I'm an old man. So I'm walking up and I've got my quote competition in front of me. And I said, well Gosh, how much do you weigh? And they said, well, we're roughly about one 65 ish. And I said, I weighed one 65 was when I was in fifth grade. There was no way it took me forever to get down to 200.

[09:43]                                    My 13 year old's 190 pounds right now with a size 13 feet. So he's on, I'm only six to something. He's uh, the local Oregon Science Industry Museum did this thing. They measured his feet, his weight when he was young and they all come out with sizes and I'm driving the car with all the kids in the back and they're telling me how tall are going to be and outcomes is at six, seven. He's so bad. Well, that's what they said. He'll be, I don't know. He's six foot now, so I don't know how tall it will be. Everyone always asks

[10:16]                                    the Pacific northwest, they grow them big. They're growing big. And I'm not kidding you. I did a terminal up there. I did a bulk liquid terminal up there. And uh, two of the individuals that I was working with were seven feet.

[10:28]                                    Yeah, great guys. But seven feet, I only know one person, six foot seven right now. So if he's that tall, he will be the second person I know intimately at six, seven. So yeah.

[10:38]                                    Okay, let's get going. Let's talk a little bit about who you are, what you are outside of the fact that you like speed and outside of the fact that you used to eat well and now you're eating stuff that you don't like to eat. So let's talk a little bit about your background and why we're on this journey to talk a little bit about you because I'm passionate about what your message is going to be delivering to the market and that is how to increase once against sales market branding. All of this stuff does real space, uh, always need help with. So give us a little background, a photo of one on who you are.

[11:08]                                    Sexy topic is always getting more new clients. That's what people want to know about. So you know, they ask what do you do? They want to know the, we help entrepreneurs learn how to double their size of their company in 12 month period of time. They're always looking at fast growth strategies. So that's what people want. I mean, so when they go, what are you known for it? They look at what they want and then there's what they need. And I mean, I don't know about you, but I was on the job site at the age of nine and uh, I would be sitting down at the table again, dead carcass, hit the table, just a bunch of men just shredding at it. And then soon as the truck rolled up, so we were doing concrete. So the truck had concrete forms on there. Yeah, the stop eating and go on low.

[11:46]                                    And that was just a really interesting conundrum to me. I was like, oh, right. So I'm like, when I, you know, when I go out, I grow up and I, my business, I'm never going to have to stop eating my meal. I'm going to have someone download that damn truck for me. I wouldn't have the business run more without me or without me...
