00:00:02.765 --> 00:00:07.793
Hello, hello, hello, and welcome back to yet another episode of Electricpreneur Secrets.
00:00:07.793 --> 00:00:14.246
I am so happy to be here as your host, clay Neumeyer, and with me, as always, my esteemed co-host, joseph Lucani.
00:00:14.246 --> 00:00:20.365
We're the Electricpreneurs just a couple of master electricians with business addictions, here and ready to serve.
00:00:20.365 --> 00:00:21.422
At what level?
00:00:21.422 --> 00:00:23.103
Joe, the highest level.
00:00:23.103 --> 00:00:25.727
My son, the highest level.
00:00:25.727 --> 00:00:26.983
Man, the highest level.
00:00:26.983 --> 00:00:29.728
Welcome to our freemium daily coach call.
00:00:29.728 --> 00:00:38.128
We played a few replays last week to help me get over the hump of sickness and get out of a little vacation week whatever vacation I could salvage.
00:00:38.128 --> 00:00:53.792
But we are here, we are back, we are live and we are for the cause, that cause being for electricians, bioelectricians, helping you guys rise in your service endeavor and being premium service providers, just like us and the Electricpreneurs that are joining us today.
00:00:53.792 --> 00:00:55.384
Joe, how are you doing, my brother?
00:00:56.380 --> 00:01:02.927
I got to admit there are some good things and there are some bad things, but I'm going to spend them all as good things, if that's cool.
00:01:02.927 --> 00:01:04.924
All right, let's hear it, man.
00:01:04.924 --> 00:01:05.527
It was a spin.
00:01:05.527 --> 00:01:10.784
I was going to say I'm feeling happy, I'm feeling blessed, I'm feeling like life is taken care of me in a way.
00:01:10.784 --> 00:01:12.745
But you know what?
00:01:12.745 --> 00:01:19.105
There are times that I'm so grateful for my religious walk just because there are still days when I want to pick up the bottle.
00:01:19.105 --> 00:01:22.367
I've been sober since last November.
00:01:22.367 --> 00:01:24.825
Life is still good, taking it one day at a time.
00:01:24.825 --> 00:01:34.608
But I figured, if there's anyone else that's out there that's like me, that's still getting that itch every now and then, which won't you guys know Feeling it too, and we do what we can to fight through it.
00:01:34.608 --> 00:01:38.510
As long as you take it day to day, stay on the right side of the soil.
00:01:39.221 --> 00:01:40.146
I appreciate that, man.
00:01:40.146 --> 00:01:41.724
I got to ask you a question, though.
00:01:41.724 --> 00:01:51.433
I think we're tying into why it's today, because we're tying into exactly some of the secrets of converting at a premium level that we want to have in our million dollar launch.
00:01:51.433 --> 00:01:58.171
As we're still on this journey, we've got a couple weeks left of this stuff and knowing the why before we do some things a huge thing.
00:01:58.171 --> 00:02:01.268
So do you mind me asking why no sauce for you, joe?
00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:05.087
So I was always very functional with it.
00:02:05.087 --> 00:02:05.849
You know what I mean.
00:02:05.849 --> 00:02:10.082
Like there wasn't any situations where I was like I couldn't get my job done, couldn't do my things.
00:02:10.082 --> 00:02:16.903
But when you realize that you're doing something for the wrong reason, it starts to you sort of look at it differently.
00:02:16.903 --> 00:02:20.750
I wasn't doing it to relax and have a good time.
00:02:20.750 --> 00:02:30.207
I was using it because, being on the spectrum, it's very hard sometimes to self-regulate, and have you ever felt the urge to just take the world down a notch?
00:02:30.750 --> 00:02:38.108
Yeah, I think a lot of people do to use drugs and alcohol, right, yeah, anything to hit the switch, like numbness out a bit.
00:02:38.669 --> 00:02:49.711
You know what I mean, where, like it was a thought of saying I wanted to just make the sounds quieter, make the lights less bright, like the conversations less scary, make the change less severe.
00:02:49.711 --> 00:02:59.847
And now I use therapy, I use my faith, I use all the different things that I have coping skills, but some of them are hard to put down.
00:02:59.847 --> 00:03:00.528
You know what I mean.
00:03:00.528 --> 00:03:03.288
I stopped smoking nicotine, I stopped drinking alcohol.
00:03:03.288 --> 00:03:06.766
It's a hard road, man, but I'm grateful of.
00:03:06.766 --> 00:03:08.312
Nothing else is to pull out of it.
00:03:09.235 --> 00:03:13.348
I appreciate you, man, and I appreciate that honesty and that vulnerability to share that.
00:03:13.348 --> 00:03:28.280
And something that comes to mind that's like pure irony around substance and substance abuse is like we use it as a crutch, that that crutch is crippling and it's not so apparent, is it Like?
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:41.189
Literally, it can feel like what's helping you is helping you when in the meantime it's actually stifling your growth and your ability to find the ambition or the desire to want to drive a bit harder tomorrow.
00:03:41.189 --> 00:03:46.408
In fact, one of my favorite expressions around booze was really stealing happiness from tomorrow.
00:03:48.092 --> 00:03:48.894
That is true.
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:51.485
And you've explained that yeah, you've explained that.
00:03:51.485 --> 00:03:52.326
You wake up with a hangover.
00:03:52.326 --> 00:03:54.211
It's like I'm happy today, I'm unhappy tomorrow.
00:03:54.211 --> 00:03:55.201
It's just.
00:03:55.201 --> 00:03:56.820
You know what I think.
00:03:56.820 --> 00:04:00.810
What it comes down to in a lot of big ways is I've never done anything profound while drunk.
00:04:00.810 --> 00:04:01.951
You know what I mean.
00:04:01.951 --> 00:04:06.069
I want to live a life where I want to live not for me anymore.
00:04:06.069 --> 00:04:09.187
I want to live for something beyond myself, something bigger than me.
00:04:09.187 --> 00:04:13.300
You know whether that's God, whether that's your family, whether that's this mission that we're in.
00:04:13.300 --> 00:04:17.120
I just it wasn't certain anymore and I want to be done with it.
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:20.447
But sometimes it comes back and wants to, wants to come pay a visit.
00:04:21.047 --> 00:04:25.134
Fair enough, man, you know, yeah, yeah, hanging there strong.
00:04:25.134 --> 00:04:27.286
One of our mentors also said this.
00:04:27.286 --> 00:04:32.382
They call it spirits for a reason, and I don't need to consume anything to have spirit.
00:04:32.382 --> 00:04:35.593
That makes a good point.
00:04:35.593 --> 00:04:36.968
That was an interesting take too.
00:04:36.968 --> 00:04:39.389
Without further ado, joe, what do you say?
00:04:39.389 --> 00:04:41.194
We jump into this topic today, though.
00:04:42.026 --> 00:04:43.069
Can I get the recap?
00:04:43.250 --> 00:04:43.971
where we left off.
00:04:44.574 --> 00:04:45.035
I would love that.
00:04:45.035 --> 00:04:53.470
I think it would actually make sense, because for a lot of us who are listening, we had to step away for a little bit between the storms that were destroying my area and the illness that kicked your butt.
00:04:53.470 --> 00:04:55.410
Let's come back to it.
00:04:55.911 --> 00:04:56.252
Yeah, man.
00:04:56.252 --> 00:04:59.653
So million dollar launch series, some big things kicking off this year.
00:04:59.653 --> 00:05:01.507
Ton of great feedback.
00:05:01.507 --> 00:05:05.533
By the way, If you've been listening, please reach out, let us know what you thought.
00:05:05.533 --> 00:05:15.576
On Facebook, in our Facebook group, Electric Pinner Secrets, even on our website, serviceloopelectricalcom, which is just revised and re-released by the wonderful Eureka in the background.
00:05:15.576 --> 00:05:16.708
Thank you, Eureka.
00:05:16.708 --> 00:05:42.874
But where we finished last time that we were live doing, one of these was talking about developing and training to a consistent sales process and the importance of that, and I think the underlying, maybe the biggest reason to even have that sales process is what we're talking about today, which is to have consistent conversions at a premium level, and it's not something that's just going to happen by accident, is it Joe?
00:05:43.615 --> 00:05:56.653
No, I mean, the process that we've developed is a culmination of everything I've learned from every trainer I've ever studied, from every book I've ever read, and years and years and years of trial and error at actual homes.
00:05:56.653 --> 00:06:07.394
But the thing about it that goes beyond all that is that we have to take this process and say that it's not the goal of closing.
00:06:07.394 --> 00:06:18.855
It's the goal to set yourself up as being someone who's trusted, liked and respected, so that you at least have the position to then reasonably and ethically ask for the sale.
00:06:18.855 --> 00:06:21.432
The two need to be absolutely in pair.
00:06:21.432 --> 00:06:29.310
You can't get to the close about the process, but then you can't close without the relationship built by the process.
00:06:29.865 --> 00:06:33.733
And I want to add a key word in there salesy.
00:06:33.733 --> 00:06:46.797
Because it's not that you physically can't, but most people that approach us about the sales process that we talk about in the loop method and everything we're doing is like, hey, I want to improve sales without coming across salesy.
00:06:46.797 --> 00:06:53.293
Well, this is the stuff we're talking about, and people wonder why we have so few episodes on objection handling.
00:06:53.293 --> 00:07:00.331
It's because of how much work we put into eliminating them in the first place, and I think that's what you're referencing here, isn't it?
00:07:01.033 --> 00:07:10.548
Yeah, I mean a lot of times with objections, you're already losing the battle by the time it comes up, because they're not often objecting to the thing that they're really emotionally upset about.
00:07:10.548 --> 00:07:13.733
They're objecting to the thing that's tied with that emotion.
00:07:13.733 --> 00:07:17.673
So, as a result, they'll say I can't do it right now.
00:07:17.673 --> 00:07:22.848
And really, is it a not ever, or is it just a not right now?
00:07:22.848 --> 00:07:27.692
Right, well, I can't because, and that because reason will be what.
00:07:27.692 --> 00:07:32.552
You circle back to it and it may be something completely unrelated, like I know I like this.
00:07:32.552 --> 00:07:34.492
I'm just not sure if you guys are going to be around in business.
00:07:34.492 --> 00:07:37.574
I don't know if I'm going to get a 10-year warranty from someone who just started business.
00:07:37.574 --> 00:07:40.867
Okay, there's your answer, now we can dig into it.
00:07:41.550 --> 00:07:45.634
Yeah, and hope I didn't interrupt your flow too much there.
00:07:45.634 --> 00:07:49.774
I just saw that correlation and we are 100% without a doubt.
00:07:49.774 --> 00:07:54.293
Coming back to objections in this series, I mean we're going to have to deal with them in a million dollar launch.
00:07:54.293 --> 00:07:55.668
So absolutely.
00:07:55.668 --> 00:08:03.351
But what are some of the other few things, joe, that you think are the underlying success levers that we could apply?
00:08:03.351 --> 00:08:07.889
Going into these situations now, keep in mind where we're at in this journey.
00:08:07.889 --> 00:08:14.154
We're halfway through the year, our first year, maybe quarter to second quarter, somewhere in there.
00:08:14.154 --> 00:08:16.358
We've got our vision, we went through that.
00:08:16.358 --> 00:08:21.574
We've got organic marketing People do know a bit about us and we've got some culture here already.
00:08:21.574 --> 00:08:23.531
Right, we've got our hearts on our sleeves.
00:08:23.531 --> 00:08:24.569
We're out there serving.
00:08:24.569 --> 00:08:31.189
What do you suggest we really leverage now to get our conversions up and make the most of every transaction?
00:08:32.144 --> 00:08:44.514
So there's two steps that are, I'd say, absolutely essential, assuming you've followed the process so far and then you've built a relationship, and that is the en route step and the pulse check step.
00:08:44.514 --> 00:08:51.412
And I'd be happy to touch on those two things, because there's emotional reasons why they're there, as well as respect builders.
00:08:51.412 --> 00:08:53.226
Let's do it man, Jump right in.
00:08:53.226 --> 00:08:54.868
So going into it.
00:08:54.868 --> 00:08:56.172
The first is the en route step.
00:08:56.825 --> 00:09:08.693
Now, a lot of us have assumed that we're going to do a two call close, meaning that we've met with one spouse, we've learned what's going on, we've acknowledged the need and we understand the general why.
00:09:08.693 --> 00:09:16.092
But more often than not, there's always someone else involved their partner, their spouse, their friend, their son-in-law, it doesn't matter.
00:09:16.092 --> 00:09:19.168
There's someone else here who needs to be a part of this decision.
00:09:19.168 --> 00:09:25.273
Now, instead of just calling them over the phone or trying to get under that person, we bring them in.
00:09:25.273 --> 00:09:33.538
We say we're so grateful that you have someone on your side who can help you with these things, and we've made it a point to try to schedule when those people will be there.
00:09:33.538 --> 00:09:40.621
So at this point, we have a date on the calendar where we're coming back to talk to both people.
00:09:40.621 --> 00:09:42.953
Now the en route step.
00:09:42.953 --> 00:09:44.418
Do you have any question before we get into it?
00:09:44.418 --> 00:09:47.273
No, no no, just acknowledging Awesome.
00:09:47.929 --> 00:09:52.942
The en route step is where we're going to then be calling the customer and asking two things.
00:09:52.942 --> 00:09:59.614
One I wanted to make sure I know we were planning on coming at one o'clock to talk to you and Melanie.
00:09:59.614 --> 00:10:02.796
Will that time still be good for both of you?
00:10:02.796 --> 00:10:12.298
So it makes the initial acknowledgement that when we left last we were planning on coming back at this time to talk to both of you.
00:10:12.298 --> 00:10:19.620
That's being subconsciously said, but then we ask directly will that time still be good for both of you?
00:10:19.620 --> 00:10:25.639
Benefit is is, if they say yes, wonderful, we'll handle that one way.
00:10:25.639 --> 00:10:32.857
If they say no, also wonderful, Because we have other availabilities that just came up.
00:10:32.857 --> 00:10:36.438
You know, I'm curious if you'd be very open to it.
00:10:36.438 --> 00:10:38.917
We actually had a bunch of calls that came in.
00:10:38.917 --> 00:10:48.010
We'd love to reschedule for another time, especially since we wanted everyone present so they could hear our designs, since we designed more than one of them Earlier.
00:10:48.010 --> 00:10:53.259
When I said yes, that's good, it's because the en route step is meant to build value.
00:10:54.051 --> 00:10:58.417
Have you ever gone to the auto dealership or the car dealership and been handed the bottle of water?
00:10:58.918 --> 00:11:00.740
Yeah, yeah, familiar with that one.
00:11:01.341 --> 00:11:01.942
What's the purpose?
00:11:01.942 --> 00:11:02.524
Why do we do it?
00:11:03.809 --> 00:11:03.909
To me.
00:11:03.909 --> 00:11:13.779
I always thought it's the law of reciprocity You're going to scratch your back so that you know, and hopefully that salesperson doesn't then lift their shirt and show you their hairy back.
00:11:13.779 --> 00:11:15.979
But that's always the way I've looked at it.
00:11:15.979 --> 00:11:16.662
What are your thoughts?
00:11:16.822 --> 00:11:20.015
No, it makes a lot of sense and I'm glad you and I are on the same page there.
00:11:20.015 --> 00:11:23.798
So imagine now also where we're at in the time of sale.
00:11:23.798 --> 00:11:31.629
Right, we've told them that we're going to meet with both decision makers, but we haven't said decision makers, we say people who are involved in this.
00:11:31.629 --> 00:11:35.139
And now it could be six o'clock, seven o'clock, even eight o'clock at night.
00:11:35.139 --> 00:11:39.586
If you're in a typical family home, that's dinner time for most people.
00:11:39.586 --> 00:11:51.697
Or they just got the kids to bed, which means, if you come, you're now in a position to take time away from them, where now they have to wait and not have dinner, or they have to rush it, or, if it's early morning, they got to get their coffee prepped.
00:11:51.697 --> 00:11:56.029
Our on route step is confirming hey, I'm on my way.
00:11:56.029 --> 00:11:57.534
I want to be sure it's good for both of you.
00:11:57.534 --> 00:11:58.697
Wonderful it is.
00:11:59.370 --> 00:12:03.813
By the way, I was planning on stopping getting some food for myself because I hadn't had a chance to have dinner yet.
00:12:03.813 --> 00:12:05.393
How do you like your food?
00:12:05.393 --> 00:12:06.375
Or I'm making it.
00:12:06.375 --> 00:12:07.219
Stop on getting a pizza.
00:12:07.219 --> 00:12:08.534
How do you like your pizza?
00:12:08.534 --> 00:12:10.315
Or I am stopping for coffee.
00:12:10.315 --> 00:12:11.393
How do you like your coffee?
00:12:11.393 --> 00:12:21.464
Something to that extent because they're going to then immediately say either yes, that's good, awesome, you got a great person.
00:12:21.464 --> 00:12:23.895
Or no, they're not.
00:12:23.895 --> 00:12:25.355
Yeah, you don't have to do that.
00:12:25.355 --> 00:12:29.594
Well, of course I don't have to do that I want to.
00:12:29.594 --> 00:12:32.859
It makes me happy knowing I'm going to be stopping for myself anyway.
00:12:33.451 --> 00:12:36.316
And I feel like that's a knee jerk reaction that people do.
00:12:36.316 --> 00:12:38.298
Yeah, a lot, of, a lot of no's.
00:12:38.298 --> 00:12:39.441
I know I'm good, thank you.
00:12:39.441 --> 00:12:41.850
I don't want to Like you almost.
00:12:41.850 --> 00:12:45.599
You try to deflect it, just like you deflect the water bottle, even if you're thirsty.
00:12:46.379 --> 00:12:47.442
Yeah, a lot of times.
00:12:47.970 --> 00:12:54.136
I love where you go to in confirming like are you sure it really would be no trouble in taking it that extra step?
00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:58.158
Yeah, a lot of times it's almost like when your spouse says you don't have to do this.
00:12:58.158 --> 00:13:02.294
It's like, of course, sweetheart, of course I don't have to do this, I want to do this.
00:13:02.294 --> 00:13:08.034
So when they say you don't have to get me, it's truly, it's no trouble, I'm already going to be going.
00:13:08.034 --> 00:13:09.192
I mean, I haven't.
00:13:09.192 --> 00:13:10.818
I mean I've been on the road all day.
00:13:10.818 --> 00:13:14.235
I haven't gotten a chance to stop for any food, so I always plan on getting it for myself anyway.
00:13:14.235 --> 00:13:16.778
Why not just order a pizza and bring something for all of us?
00:13:16.778 --> 00:13:18.160
I was going to get a slice for myself anyway.
00:13:19.932 --> 00:13:25.312
So now you show up with pizza at the door, you're sitting down with them, you're opening a slice, you're having a slice.
00:13:25.312 --> 00:13:27.673
While you're talking to them, they're eating, you're eating.
00:13:27.673 --> 00:13:28.538
We're all relaxed.
00:13:28.538 --> 00:13:29.633
We're at the table.
00:13:29.633 --> 00:13:32.437
The presentation stood right next to me.
00:13:32.437 --> 00:13:34.913
It's probably on the chair next to me, but that's not what we're doing.
00:13:34.913 --> 00:13:37.878
We're bonding, we're building rapport, we're breaking bread.
00:13:38.711 --> 00:13:42.599
Yeah, and that kitchen table is something we haven't talked about really in that light in a while.
00:13:42.599 --> 00:13:44.798
But I mean, who sits at the kitchen table?
00:13:45.990 --> 00:13:48.457
Friends and family and trusted people.
00:13:48.457 --> 00:14:02.595
I mean, if you've ever been in a situation where you're in the customer's home and they meet you in the garage and they don't let you in, that's a different story compared to the person who lets you into the front door and then brings you to the kitchen table to sit down and discuss their project.
00:14:03.309 --> 00:14:07.053
Feels about as cold as the garage itself it does, doesn't it?
00:14:07.690 --> 00:14:13.256
So, especially even when you, let's say, that did happen and the first customer didn't let you into the home.
00:14:13.256 --> 00:14:14.994
But now you're bringing food.
00:14:14.994 --> 00:14:16.499
Where does food need to go?
00:14:16.499 --> 00:14:19.789
People don't eat standing up like contractors over their panel.
00:14:19.789 --> 00:14:22.750
No, they go to the kitchen table and sit down, bring it in.
00:14:22.750 --> 00:14:24.769
And while you're there, why not, as well, sit down at the table?
00:14:24.769 --> 00:14:28.078
And, by the way, while we're there, why don't we just talk here?
00:14:28.078 --> 00:14:29.482
It's cold outside anyway.
00:14:30.557 --> 00:14:31.062
Awesome, awesome man.
00:14:31.062 --> 00:14:38.126
So there's a couple of tips Now in that presentation, I mean in this.
00:14:38.126 --> 00:14:44.789
And the many times you've done it face full of pizza, just jump right in greasy fingerprints on the iPad or like, what do you do?
00:14:44.789 --> 00:14:47.399
Do you sit in that moment a little bit, joe?
00:14:47.951 --> 00:14:48.032
Yeah.
00:14:48.032 --> 00:14:51.657
So the goal is is not like you're trying to present with a slice in your hand.
00:14:51.657 --> 00:15:03.619
Realistically, you're trying to actually break away from you being a business person and focus more that this is your lunch break and you're just talking to someone else and you happen to be in uniform during the process.
00:15:03.619 --> 00:15:15.717
So the reason why I would lean into that category is sometimes, when people think that you're trying to sell them something, there's this initial wall that goes up because they don't know you.
00:15:15.717 --> 00:15:18.789
They know your brand, they know what you do, but they don't know you.
00:15:19.635 --> 00:15:21.789
You're just that bald Italian electrician that comes to my house.
00:15:21.789 --> 00:15:24.789
It's like no, there's something that comes more with it.
00:15:24.789 --> 00:15:26.789
I mean, this is who I am.
00:15:26.789 --> 00:15:40.167
Maybe I show a little bit of my ink, maybe I roll up my sleeves and show off the tattoos, Like who knows, but the fact is is that we can connect over things while we're talking and then, after they're done eating, and after I'm done eating, you'll be like, hey, I'd hate to take so much of your time.
00:15:40.167 --> 00:15:40.789
I appreciate you sitting down.
00:15:40.789 --> 00:15:43.441
Thanks for letting me have a slice as well.
00:15:43.441 --> 00:15:45.167
Even though I'm the one who brought it right.
00:15:45.167 --> 00:15:45.730
Love it.
00:15:45.730 --> 00:15:49.789
But then, while we're here, is there anything you guys want to talk about before we get into the presentation?
00:15:49.789 --> 00:15:51.789
I've been really excited to show this to you guys.
00:15:51.789 --> 00:15:56.789
I feel like, if anything, it's one of the ones I've been really looking forward to all week to talking about.
00:15:57.860 --> 00:15:58.789
Super interesting man.
00:15:58.789 --> 00:16:07.394
So what I'm getting from this is really prioritizing the personal relationship over the presentation is actually going to help us with our conversion.
00:16:08.138 --> 00:16:17.789
Correct and the reason being is that so often when people think about the sales like process, if you look at it from as I know you like to do from the 30,000 foot view, let's break this down.
00:16:18.712 --> 00:16:25.034
So the electrician comes by, sometimes he'll come back and do a presentation, other times he'll just power through it.
00:16:25.789 --> 00:16:34.037
So it could be either an hour and a half meeting or three and a half hour meeting, but it's just blasting all about what we can do and how we can do and how we're the best.
00:16:34.037 --> 00:16:47.658
What we're doing that's different is we're creating small touch points throughout the relationship in smaller increments to build a longer seeming relationship, such as we've been over the phone with our CSRs.
00:16:47.658 --> 00:16:59.789
They know who they are, they've addressed them by first name, they've talked at least two to three times at this point, probably more intake en route, follow up en route and like it's all through those things.
00:16:59.789 --> 00:17:02.789
Then we're coming back and we've built the initial relationship.
00:17:02.789 --> 00:17:07.607
We spent an hour at a 45 minutes there somewhere originally, came back a third time.
00:17:07.607 --> 00:17:11.781
Now there's a third touch point and we're breaking bread with them.
00:17:11.781 --> 00:17:19.873
So at that level we're not salespeople, we're just really good electricians who are good at rapport building.
00:17:19.873 --> 00:17:24.816
The word sales hasn't even come up because they are inviting us to help them now.
00:17:26.429 --> 00:17:30.112
Yeah, serving some friends, one of the things that's coming to mind.
00:17:30.112 --> 00:17:34.790
I can't help it, and we're going to come close to the end of this one already goes by so fast.
00:17:34.790 --> 00:17:40.136
But we've talked in the past about how this is really an endurance race.
00:17:40.136 --> 00:17:46.076
Yeah, and I start to see how all this is tying into the endurance aspect of it.
00:17:46.076 --> 00:17:50.785
It's not rushed, it's nothing other than hey, we're all taken care of.
00:17:50.785 --> 00:17:52.638
Hey, we're all happy with the stage right.
00:17:52.638 --> 00:17:53.444
Hey, quick check in.
00:17:53.444 --> 00:17:54.549
Hey, everyone's feeling good.
00:17:54.549 --> 00:17:55.845
Hey, you can talk to me.
00:17:55.845 --> 00:17:57.412
Hey, you can be transparent with me.
00:17:57.412 --> 00:17:59.813
Hey, any problems you're having, I'm here with you.
00:17:59.813 --> 00:18:02.503
All of this seems to be kind of adding up.
00:00:02.765 --> 00:00:07.793
00:00:07.793 --> 00:00:14.246
00:00:14.246 --> 00:00:20.365
00:00:20.365 --> 00:00:21.422
00:00:21.422 --> 00:00:23.103
00:00:23.103 --> 00:00:25.727
00:00:25.727 --> 00:00:26.983
00:00:26.983 --> 00:00:29.728
00:00:29.728 --> 00:00:38.128
00:00:38.128 --> 00:00:53.792
00:00:53.792 --> 00:00:55.384
00:00:56.380 --> 00:01:02.927
00:01:02.927 --> 00:01:04.924
00:01:04.924 --> 00:01:05.527
00:01:05.527 --> 00:01:10.784
00:01:10.784 --> 00:01:12.745
00:01:12.745 --> 00:01:19.105
00:01:19.105 --> 00:01:22.367
00:01:22.367 --> 00:01:24.825
00:01:24.825 --> 00:01:34.608
00:01:34.608 --> 00:01:38.510
00:01:39.221 --> 00:01:40.146
00:01:40.146 --> 00:01:41.724
00:01:41.724 --> 00:01:51.433
00:01:51.433 --> 00:01:58.171
00:01:58.171 --> 00:02:01.268
00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:05.087
00:02:05.087 --> 00:02:05.849
00:02:05.849 --> 00:02:10.082
00:02:10.082 --> 00:02:16.903
00:02:16.903 --> 00:02:20.750
00:02:20.750 --> 00:02:30.207
00:02:30.750 --> 00:02:38.108
00:02:38.669 --> 00:02:49.711
00:02:49.711 --> 00:02:59.847
00:02:59.847 --> 00:03:00.528
00:03:00.528 --> 00:03:03.288
00:03:03.288 --> 00:03:06.766
00:03:06.766 --> 00:03:08.312
00:03:09.235 --> 00:03:13.348
00:03:13.348 --> 00:03:28.280
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:41.189
00:03:41.189 --> 00:03:46.408
00:03:48.092 --> 00:03:48.894
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:51.485
00:03:51.485 --> 00:03:52.326
00:03:52.326 --> 00:03:54.211
00:03:54.211 --> 00:03:55.201
00:03:55.201 --> 00:03:56.820
00:03:56.820 --> 00:04:00.810
00:04:00.810 --> 00:04:01.951
00:04:01.951 --> 00:04:06.069
00:04:06.069 --> 00:04:09.187
00:04:09.187 --> 00:04:13.300
00:04:13.300 --> 00:04:17.120
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:20.447
00:04:21.047 --> 00:04:25.134
00:04:25.134 --> 00:04:27.286
00:04:27.286 --> 00:04:32.382
00:04:32.382 --> 00:04:35.593
00:04:35.593 --> 00:04:36.968
00:04:36.968 --> 00:04:39.389
00:04:39.389 --> 00:04:41.194
00:04:42.026 --> 00:04:43.069
00:04:43.250 --> 00:04:43.971
00:04:44.574 --> 00:04:45.035
00:04:45.035 --> 00:04:53.470
00:04:53.470 --> 00:04:55.410
00:04:55.911 --> 00:04:56.252
00:04:56.252 --> 00:04:59.653
00:04:59.653 --> 00:05:01.507
00:05:01.507 --> 00:05:05.533
00:05:05.533 --> 00:05:15.576
00:05:15.576 --> 00:05:16.708
00:05:16.708 --> 00:05:42.874
00:05:43.615 --> 00:05:56.653
00:05:56.653 --> 00:06:07.394
00:06:07.394 --> 00:06:18.855
00:06:18.855 --> 00:06:21.432
00:06:21.432 --> 00:06:29.310
00:06:29.865 --> 00:06:33.733
00:06:33.733 --> 00:06:46.797
00:06:46.797 --> 00:06:53.293
00:06:53.293 --> 00:07:00.331
00:07:01.033 --> 00:07:10.548
00:07:10.548 --> 00:07:13.733
00:07:13.733 --> 00:07:17.673
00:07:17.673 --> 00:07:22.848
00:07:22.848 --> 00:07:27.692
00:07:27.692 --> 00:07:32.552
00:07:32.552 --> 00:07:34.492
00:07:34.492 --> 00:07:37.574
00:07:37.574 --> 00:07:40.867
00:07:41.550 --> 00:07:45.634

00:08:16.358 --> 00:08:21.574
00:08:21.574 --> 00:08:23.531
00:08:23.531 --> 00:08:24.569
00:08:24.569 --> 00:08:31.189
00:08:32.144 --> 00:08:44.514
00:08:44.514 --> 00:08:51.412

00:08:53.226 --> 00:08:54.868
00:08:54.868 --> 00:08:56.172
00:08:56.825 --> 00:09:08.693
00:09:08.693 --> 00:09:16.092
00:09:16.092 --> 00:09:19.168
00:09:19.168 --> 00:09:25.273
00:09:25.273 --> 00:09:33.538
00:09:33.538 --> 00:09:40.621
00:09:40.621 --> 00:09:42.953
00:09:42.953 --> 00:09:44.418
00:09:44.418 --> 00:09:47.273
00:09:47.929 --> 00:09:52.942
00:09:52.942 --> 00:09:59.614
00:09:59.614 --> 00:10:02.796
00:10:02.796 --> 00:10:12.298
00:10:12.298 --> 00:10:19.620
00:10:19.620 --> 00:10:25.639
00:10:25.639 --> 00:10:32.857
00:10:32.857 --> 00:10:36.438
00:10:36.438 --> 00:10:38.917
00:10:38.917 --> 00:10:48.010
