A Message to My Subscribers | My Jet, Startup, & Future.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
Hey everyone, me Kevin here. This video
is a message to subscribers. We are
going to talk about this YouTube
channel, my jet, my startup, and the
future. I'm also going to provide some
lessons and mistakes and things that
I've learned to do better over time in
this video. Now, it is late on Black
Friday at the time of filming this. I've
been going deep on Monster here, mostly
because I checked the email again, and I
haven't seen this many emails in a long
time. We got a lot of bundle requests,
so I got a little bit of work to do. Uh,
so we'll keep the Black Friday sale open
until we get through all these emails.
Uh, that's at meetke.com. What a lot of
people are doing, by the way, is they're
asking for access to the stack hack
lectures we have already. You could
email us for that. Shadowing less, but
that's there. Uh, most people are going
for the gold course because it comes
with the course member live streams as
well. It's only 375 for Black Friday.
#dflationlation and existing course
members are upgrading to platinum. A lot
of that is happening and a lot of that
is manual. Anyway, let's talk. So, the
first thing that we've got to do is
we've got to talk about Eljetto. Uh that
jet is actually right here. This jet is
a Phenom 300 E. Don't forget the E. Uh
somebody just listed one on Controller
that's one year uh newer than mine for
like $13.2 million. I paid one or 12.8
for mine. And a lot of people have been
asking and leaving comments and emailing
uh the most important questions that
people send which are who pays for the
plane, who are the pilots, and uh what
are you going to do with the plane? And
uh uh what's the point of it? Okay. So,
why don't we start with that? And then
what I'll also do is I'll pull up some
of the uh uh the costs that we've had uh
for the plane. I think these will be
pretty useful. I have an October
statement handy for you that will show
you some year-to-ate figures which I
think are pretty useful. So, I'll just
make sure there there are no sensitive
names on it or whatever. And we'll pull
that up. Okay. So, uh first things
first, I own the plane. I bought the
plane. I pay for the plane. And when I
say I, I mean me. Kevin pays for all of
this. Not a single dollar of house hack
or ETF or whatever money has gone into
this bird. Not a single dollar. Uh, and
and I will keep doing that for as long
as possible because that's what I've
been saying from day one. This plane
allows me to operate a YouTube channel
where honestly we got to talk about that
and these other businesses. So, let me
quickly tangent in the YouTube channel
and then I want to show you some of the
uh expenses here. I'll tell you the
YouTube a little bit on the YouTube
channel regarding this while I um I
black this out. One of the mistakes that
I've made over the last few probably two
years since about January of 2022 is I
went from in 2021 posting about six
videos a day to posting about
4.8 videos a day in 2022 to posting
about 1.8 videos a day in 2023.
And so I've sort of self-fululfilled
this uh YouTube slowdown. And I think
that was a mistake. Uh now in hindsight,
uh I should have done my best to make
sure I keep posting enough content and I
I don't think I did as well as I should
have in prioritizing that because I do
believe for the future of my startups,
our what we do on YouTube is actually
very useful for the startups. the easier
it is for me to communicate with my
audience of whether it's agents or
investors or whatever, the easier it is
for us to do deals and house hack. For
example, the first property we ever
bought came to us from a course member.
They're like, "Kevin, this is a good
deal. Check it out. It just hit the
market 30 minutes ago. You game?" Boom.
We got the deal.
If you want to send us deals, by the
way, send us deals. Like, send them to
kevinhouseack.com. Like, we're game. Uh
my dream by the way is and this is I
think the entrepreneurial curse is you
see somebody doing something and you're
like I could do that better.
That is why pretty much I feel like I've
done anything in my life. It's like wow
those people are real estate agents. I
could do better than that, right? Like
and obviously that there's like some
like arrogance to that of like oh I
could do better. So you have to be
careful with that. Like I'm not going to
fly this plane. and we have pilots to
fly this plane because I don't want to
kill myself because I mean, you know,
you make mistakes if you think you could
do everything yourself. I know I can't
do everything myself, but uh I do think
it's very interesting. You know, having
started in real estate, I'm like, I can
do better. Uh property management, I can
do better. Uh you know, working at Jamba
Juice, I can do better. Look, I look at
Open Door now or even how some people
make YouTube videos, I'm like, I can do
better. Open door, I know I could do
better. Now, obviously, I can't
guarantee that, right? You know, I don't
want anybody to be concerned about, you
know, me making promises or whatever,
but I just this is just solely my goal.
My goal is to kick Open Door's butt. And
I think by changing the model to the
house hack model, we will completely
dominate them and actually make what
they're trying to do functional for
communities and people and tenants and
long-term owners and investors and
employees, everything.
Uh, you know, we we get compliments from
where House Hack is working. Now, we're
on our ninth property now. My goal by
May is to get to property probably 50
and uh get them all rented out. That's
the goal. Uh, every single deal right
now is probably averaging out to about
$125,000
wedge. Some of them are a little smaller
because they're more expensive. Some of
them are less expensive to fix up. uh
you know, whatever. Probably average
purchase price is like 600K or whatever,
100K wedge on that. Uh and it's also a
really tough time to rent things out
right around Thanksgiving. Fortunately,
you know, most of our stuff is still in
construction or in escrow, but uh
everybody knows November, December is a
terrible time to rent properties out,
which duh, but it also makes it a great
time to buy properties because nobody
wants to move. But anyway, uh yeah,
regarding regarding the plane, the whole
purpose of the plane was to make sure
that we could operate all of these other
businesses
and uh make sure that I would be able to
be in this studio to film and provide
value because that is what I do really
well. So, uh I've realized that over the
past, you know, year and a half, I've
I've let down a lot of people in that I
haven't been consistent in doing course
member live streams. In hindsight, that
was a mistake. I should have been
consistent with the course member live
streams. Oh, sorry, not the course
member live streams. I've always been
consistent with the course member live
streams. Well, 99% with the market open
and close live streams. Let me very much
clarify that. I've been consistent with
course member live streams, 99%
consistent since 17 with the course
member live streams. Very, very
consistent. The market open and the
market close I am not very consistent
with. But I've changed that about 10
days ago, maybe fiveish days ago or so.
I'm back every day 5:25 a.m. Different
channel though, Meet Kevin live. I'm
putting it all over there because if I
go live uh and then I post a video on
the main channel, they compete with each
other. It doesn't make sense. I'm
segmenting the audiences. It's totally
different content, too. So, it's
perfect. But that was a mistake.
Stopping doing the regular open and
close live streams, and I want to make
sure I do those as much as possible now.
So, I want to be here as much as
possible during the week and then take
the plane in, you know, afternoons or
weekends and do the other work that I
have to do. A lot of work I could do
from right here, but then when I need to
go see a bunch of properties, I could go
fly and handle that when I need to. Good
deals, I pick up and go. Uh, weekend
properties, whatever. I could see
everything basically on the weekend. So,
the plane is very expensive, but it
gives me the ability to run two
different companies. And so, for me, the
plane is worth every penny. First of
all, uh I got the plane for free for two
years. I think people forget that when
you buy a plane, you get 100% tax
deduction, which, you know, I paid $12.8
million for it. So, I wrote off $12.8 $8
million,
which is awesome because you save all
that money in taxes, which was like $6
million or whatever. So, I'm like, h,
thank you. Thank you, government, for
for basically giving me 2 and 1/2 years
of operating expenses for this plane.
It's closer to 2 and a half years, which
is great.
Here are the expenses that I've put into
the plane so far this year. Keep in mind
that there is a loan on the plane which
is also a tax deduction, but I've
probably put 11 months in, about $800 in
on the loan, which means right now on
this plane, I'm in about $2.1 million
so far for the year, but the year is
basically over. And that's that's to be
expected. That's pretty normal. Uh I
budgeted $2.4 per year is what I
budgeted. So, we're roughly in line with
that. You could see this plane's
operated by a management company. So, uh
I just, you know, throw in money every
month and then they take care of it. You
know, all these different things that go
on, which is great. And they charge me
for that. See, aviation management,
$7,000 a month. Aircraft maintenance,
$46,000 for the period of time. It's
about $4,000 a month. Uh contract
pilots, $160,000, $168,000 in contract
pilots, you You know, then you you also
have payroll pilots. We have two payroll
pilots. I pay for those. They're on uh
you know, right here. This is I pay for
them. $184,000.
You've got uh you know, ramp parking.
This is for the odd time we overnight uh
or when we stay at our hanger,
uh I believe. And uh yeah, then over
here we have uh payroll expenses. Those
are going to be like workers comp, uh,
health insurance,
benefits, days off. Look at this. You've
got hourly fees for the engines. You
know, I paid $114,000
towards the engines
because it's a million dollar. Well,
probably maybe might even be more. Yeah,
engines are probably 600,000 bucks a
piece. Uh, and they need to be, you
know, very well maintained. Fuel
$311,000
in fuel. hanger rentals, insurance
expenses. Oh, this is probably our home
base hanger rental right here. Anyway,
so uh as you could see, a plane is
expensive, but it creates a utility. And
I personally am of the mindset and and
this I think is just this
entrepreneurial curse. I'm of this
mindset that I need to keep progressing.
And I found that there's a difference
between being um productive and then
that product like and then making
progress I guess would be the way to put
it. So think about that a difference
between productivity and progress. I
think that's actually a lesson. So let
me give you an example. I could go out
and be really really productive and go
shovel snow and I could be 100%
productive. I did a great job at
shoveling snow. That's great. I feel
good. Look, it's beautiful. I can walk.
I can park my car. Whatever. But even if
I'm 100% productive, am I really making
progress?
And so for me, I get a massive
satisfaction out of making progress. The
problem is when you're an entrepreneur,
it's very difficult to always make
progress. In fact, you will basically
not always make progress. When I worked
at Jamba Juice, I felt like my career
was pretty much just like progress like
this because, you know, you learn, you
work hard, you get trained, and then the
district manager comes in is like, "Oh,
you're doing ABC really well. Now, I
want you to work on XYZ." And you're
like, "Okay, cool. I'll do that now."
And you try to progress.
entrepreneurship has this potential of
basically being
like much steeper but unfortunately it
it comes with this and uh and and
sometimes it sometime you know it could
feel like you're like that like you're
really going under uh I think that's
part of the roller coaster that is
entrepreneurship I think that's why it's
not for everybody I have this belief
that through life we are walking this
tight rope And there's a beginning pole
and an end pole. And your goal is to try
to raise the string level of happiness.
So if you're constantly walking around
stressed, your happiness is actually
very your your base level of happiness
is very low. You have too much on your
mind. Uh you feel overwhelmed. You feel
like you have a lack of control. Uh, and
it doesn't take much for when you get
the ups and downs for you to just feel
very very terrible. And this is like the
depression, the swamp of depression down
here. And it's really really a bad place
to be. So the goal as an entrepreneur
or really anyone in life is to try to
raise your base level of happiness.
Uh so that way when you have the swings,
the ups and downs, you're not really
getting into the swamp of hell over
here, this is like where the haters live
or, you know, toxic ideas and depression
and selfdeeat and self-doubt
uh you know and and greed and cheating
and fraud. Oh, this is where this is
where all the scammy scum is, right? And
so, uh, everyone's goal in life should
be trying to elevate that base level.
And this is really how you create what
Aristotle talked of, which is udeia.
I'll never be able to spell it, but
udania. Okay, I guess I'm going to
guess. I'm going to guess it. Uh, e d ae
money.
Oh, yeah. It doesn't look right.
Uh, that's basically the good life. And
to live the good life, you have to have
everything in balance. Balance would be
this tight rope. And sure, it could have
fluctuations, but it should be balanced
positively, right? Oh, I was close. Was
I? Oh, no. I wasn't close at all. Never
mind. Was not close at all. It is uh e d
a Oh, okay. I got that part right.
That's an i. M O N I A. Oh, I was two
letters off. There are no E's in
Udineia.
Okay,
so
this is important because
everyone should do their best to elevate
and sometimes we feel like we're
shoveling snow, but it just keeps
snowing and then we get depressed and
we're down here in the hole. And I felt
that way before even recently where I
felt like with YouTube there was sort of
a this
and uh you know if this was the baseline
precoid and this was co probably here
and uh this was pretty tough. This is
where I thought, "Oh, okay. I'll I'll
try to have a restart to like mark a
bottom and I'll, you know, unlist older
videos that aren't getting views and
I'll react to them." That was a horrible
idea because people thought I was hiding
something, which is really bad because I
generally pride myself on being very
transparent. So, that was not very
useful because it was almost kind of
like I cut my tight rope and then I
ended up like down here, you know? It
was sort of like, "Oh, good job, Kevin.
you you got your bottom that you were
looking for. So, uh you know, I didn't
know that at the time, but I thought,
"Oh, I'll symbol symbolize it by shaving
my my my head or whatever." Yeah. All
right. Mistakes were made. Again,
there's no boss of Jamba Juice walking
up to me going, "Oh, Kevin, just do it
like this." You know, I have to figure
it all out myself. And obviously, when I
make a decision, I think I'm doing
what's best. And sometimes you just you
don't know until you try and it doesn't
work out. That's okay. That's that's the
way it works sometimes. Now, there's
good news in this because I feel like we
can kind of make a little chart. Uh
here, we'll insert a new page. So, this
is clean. Let's go to a new page here.
And let's make a a little list here of
things to talk about and successes and
failures. So, obviously, if uh and we've
done this before, so I I don't want to
go too terribly deep on all successes
and failures here. I just want to talk
about more recent successes and failures
that I've learned from. Uh, obviously I
think making rash changes on YouTube is
bad. And I think what works better and
what I should have stuck with previously
more so is a rigid a mostly we we'll
call it a mostly rigid schedule on
YouTube. So that's like 5:25 a.m. course
member live on YouTube. Okay. Now, we're
going to do 8:00 PM politics
uh slashgame live. Uh it could be one,
it could be both. What what I might do
is I might do politics and then just
game and chat, right? So that way it's
it's segmented. It's like here's the
politics, here's the you know the
chatting, maybe we we do Reddit
reactions or whatever and then uh and
then chat and then game. So there's some
kind of rigid plan that that people can
get used to. Uh I think this is very
useful is having a schedule and I've
never been much of a schedule person.
You know, now we do our course member
live streams which we uh oh sorry this
is not course member live. This is stock
market open live and then this is the
course member live which I've been
consistent with mostly like 99%
consistent with since um boy 2017 or so.
Yeah. By the way, really popular right
now is the gold course. It's, you know,
$375. It drops Monday. It's a really
good crash course on everything I know
about productivity, real estate
investing, sales investing. Just email
me at staffme.com.
I'm very deep with emails right now.
have not seen this many emails of people
wanting to upgrade to stack hack or
shadowing or or you know course members
are going from you know two or three
courses all the way to the platinum
level or people are getting into the
gold just to see what it's going to be
like all those lectures drop on Monday
so I'll be working over the weekend to
get those done but uh yeah so a schedule
is very useful but also I want to say
something that's been useful for me as
an entrepreneur is I find that I have to
keep advancing.
When I'm advancing, I feel really good.
That brings me substantial happiness.
Like advancing makes me feel like those
uh those poles on the you know line of
happiness are are going up. So advancing
would be I'll give you an example.
advancing would be going from
uh Jamba to Red Robin, getting promoted
at Red Robin, uh getting a raise, uh
going from agent to broker, becoming an
MLO, becoming a licensed contractor,
uh you know, looking at
a you know, something like for example,
we just did this regulation a fund raise
for House Hack where we use this company
as our funding portal and let's just say
there are some things that could be done
better in my opinion and hopefully
that's not an exercise in hubris
hopefully that's like that's the
entrepreneurial spirit right and so part
of me is like how can we have our own
funding portal so this is easier in the
future oh well in order to have a
funding portal you need to be SEC
registered as a funding portal and you
must be a broker dealer Well, a broker
dealer requires a series 7, a series 24
general principal, which is like a
supervisor. Somebody has to be the
series 27 Fin. Uh then, uh to be a, you
know, state-based, you need a 63, 65 for
registered investment advisors. SIEE is
a given. You need a compliance officer,
which is a 14. So, I just decided to
sign up for all of those tests over the
last few months
and I have one to go and then I'm done.
So, I'm like, I'll do all of them. It's
not because I want to do all of the
jobs. It's because I want to make sure
we can get the ball moving. And then
that way as other people get their
licenses in these subjects, I also know
how to supervise them, which is
important because I've got to run the
company. Now the cool thing is about
this and this is what I like about
advancing is I look at that as a boon
for house hack. House hack is my real
estate startup. My dream is to beat open
door. That's not a guarantee. Obviously
we know that but that's my dream. My
dream is to beat a company like Open
Door and then eventually beat uh
Invitation Homes and and some of these
other companies like become the vanguard
of real estate so to speak minus the
whole like ESG thing that I guess people
don't like, you know. But then again,
I'm also not totally opposed to uh, you
know, like I'm not like horribly opposed
to solar. I think solar is highly useful
and functional and they'll probably
become a time in the future where it
makes sense to put solar panels on every
rental property that exists. I don't
think that time is now. Financially, it
doesn't make sense right now for anybody
to do it in my opinion on rental
properties, but that time will come in
the future. But anyway, for now, I see
creating a funding portal and a broker
dealer as a tool for enabling me to do
what I want with House Hack, which
again, right now with House Hack, we
have uh nine properties. We're mostly in
construction with almost all of them.
Tough time to rent properties out now.
Uh but that's okay. Like I said, we're
mostly in construction. So, we're
getting a BD broker dealer set up,
funding portal set up, all to help with
house hack with our mini funds goal. And
then what we're going to do is uh
hopefully be set with about 50 of these
in May. And then we go to the next
phase, which is the mini funds phase,
which will be really, really exciting.
Uh but that also means we need a
software dev to be involved in all of
this. So there's a lot of work and I
sign up for a lot of this work for
hiring folks and making sure that we can
do it all because it's all part of
advancement. It's advancing company
goals. It's the entrepreneurial spirit.
It's a lot of hard work though. And uh
I'll say the last 3 months have been
really difficult for me because it's
been balancing not just the house hack
fund raise which is one of the reasons
we paused it. It was too stressful. uh
combined with trying to get all of the
licenses and hiring people and getting
them in the right place. So, we're like,
let's pause and a we might never have to
come back because we have enough funding
or b if we come back then we come back,
you know, at some point in the future
that that we could always open it up
again. And it was also, you know, pretty
tough market. Uh what when we fundraised
in October, that was like, you know, the
local bottom of the stock market, a lot
of fear. So, and rates were like 5%. It
was insane. So, anyway, uh the all of
these things are are a lot, but they
give me a lot of satisfaction because
we're making fantastic
uh progress on all of these different
levels. So, uh but yeah, I need to I
need to make sure that I'm also paying
attention to feedback that people give
me. And that's why I've been running a
lot of polls, especially with course
members or even surveys on Twitter and
listening to a lot of feedback. But
ultimately, while I listen to feedback,
I make the decisions. Uh that's the
point of being a CEO. I can't change my
mind every two minutes because one
person doesn't like something. So I do
my best to please the most amount of
people. But that does create challenges
and that's hard. So, you know, having
kind of realized some of these things,
oh yeah, rash changes on YouTube is bad.
Also, less content is bad, right? That's
why we've now created a separate which
which I encourage you to subscribe to if
you want that content. Right? If you
want the Meet Kevin podcast where I
banter with two other guys, great. I'd
really love to get a girl on the
podcast, too, so we can have some
balance. Maybe Lauren could do it, but
then again, she's also dealing with
twins
and then some. So,
there's the Meet Kevin podcast, which we
usually do during the week and post con
trying to be consistent around 4 p.m.
There's Meet Kevin live, which is the
market open, and I'd like to do close as
well. Then there's uh the meet Kevin
politics and then of course just the
regular pol uh um channel, but the
politics is probably going to turn into
like a meet Kevin chatting kind of
channel where it's just kind of like hey
whatever we're talking about today is
what we're talking about today.
TBD. I'm still trying to evaluate that.
So that way it could be gaming, it could
be reacting to stuff on Reddit,
whatever. Uh, and it's really just a
great way to, you know, sit down and
make content or think about content with
other people. It's kind of cool.
Uh, that is subscribers who are watching
and commenting. I I find that actually
productive because then I start thinking
about, oh, I should make a video out of
this or that or whatever. So, less
content is definitely a failure. Uh, oh,
I shouldn't put these or imply that
these are under failures. They're uh
brand new. So uh at the same time I
would argue that there's a failure of
not exercising as much as I should. I
usually like to run every day and I
think I need to make sure that I
maintain those windows. It's been really
difficult with this testing regimen that
I've been going through and so I've
loaded myself up with too much in the
near term. I've actually been really
really happy and satisfied uh in in 22
and most of 2023 even though the
market's been tough because I've, you
know, figured out that that balance a
little bit better. But I totally went
out of balance here with all these tests
I signed up for. But that's okay. It's a
grind throughout the rest of the year. I
should be done by December 16th. Knock
on wood. Uh but as with that I've like
let exercising go away and I think
that's bad because it contributes to
sadness especially if you make mistakes.
Not great.
So uh now let's uh let's think about
some other things that we've got to talk
about. Uh plane. Love the plane. Need
the plane. Plane's not going anywhere.
It's very very functional. It's very
practical. Uh again if I haven't been
clear I want to be very clear. I pay for
every dime of this and I will continue
to do so for as long as possible. Uh so
the
cool thing about the plane is we have a
lot of people that need to be in a lot
of different places and so we're able to
pretty affordably use it. The marginal
cost of using that plane is very low. So
here's why the plane is so awesome.
Because the plane costs about $1.9
million a year for flying zero.
Then the plane actually only costs
$2,000 an hour for 200 hours a year.
That goes down to $1,500 an hour. These
are millions right here. $1,500 an hour.
Here it's not writing on the left. There
we go. On the right, that's per hour.
$1,500 an hour as the marginal
difference, right? Uh for 400 hours. So
600k divided by 400 is 1500. You fly 600
hours, it's only costing you $1,100 an
hour.
Now, for a single person, that's a lot.
But think about it. If you're able to
fit nine people in this
divided by nine,
you're looking at 130 bucks per head to
fly them anywhere in an hour uh for an
hour, right? So, it's like you go from
LA to Utah. Okay, that's an hour and a
half. So, that's going to cost what? 100
95 200 bucks.
That's great. That's almost what it
would cost commercial.
Uh except now we can fly exactly when we
need to and we can get a lot done. We
could take off at 7 a.m. and be
somewhere at 8:30 functionally working.
That's great. Uh so anyway, there are a
lot of practicalities to this. So this
isn't going anywhere. I think this is
actually a missionritical tool to house.
Uh and like I said, Houseack has not
paid a dime of this.
So, and all this is audited too, which
is great. So, um
it has to be very transparent. But
anyway, so this um this is an update on
the plane so far. So, we covered the
plan. We covered Houseach, we covered
YouTube, we covered entrepreneurship.
What we haven't really covered is
family. A lot of people have been asking
how family is doing, how the babies are
doing. And the babies are great. They
were born on October 26th, so we're
coming up on their one month now
birthday, which is weird because it kind
of means they're basically zero since
they were born about one month
premature. It's kind of like they should
be born now. And now they actually look
like babies. Like before they were like
preeie and it's like, oh man, you was
tiny. You're you're still like an
embryo. Obviously not. Uh but uh now
they're they're really looking like
babies and it's really cool. So uh
they're wonderful and uh I really hope
to get through all this while testing
that we have going on. Uh what's also
cool is in the longer term future
because I did mention we would talk
future as well. There are going to be
some cool things that I can do.
So, first of all, I think the next phase
is going to be the house hack mini fund
world. The house hack mini funds. These
will be really cool. Uh this will be an
opportunity for us to really compete
with, you know, uh in in a much better
way, you know, the Cardones of the
world, the Rooftock, the Open Doors,
uh Reed, DSTs,
whatever, right? Doesn't really matter.
We uh There we go. Throw that up on
screen. Uh we're going to have a lot of
fun with this. So, we're very excited
about that and bringing a quality
product. So that'll be really cool. Uh
the next thing that'll be really cool
too is the whole broker dealer setup
will give us a lot of opportunities in
just sort of the securities world mostly
because it'll it'll give us a lot of
freedom in uh how we market because
we'll be regulated. So it' be like
regulated marketing but
we've got that down. So we're very
confident uh that we can we can work uh
with regulators very well. And this is
good. It's it's important. I mean, when
you're a broker dealer, you're subject
to audit, spot checks. You know, FINR
run the SEC, they don't mess around. And
anybody, quite frankly, who's afraid of
the regulators, I usually say to them, I
say, "Thank you." The reason I say thank
you is because of the moat. People are
like, "Oh, I don't I don't want the
regulation." I'm like, "Thank you." Less
people, you know, able to do what we're
able to do. Being regulated just means
you have tools that other people don't.
legal tools, weapons.
So, uh, that's kind of what the future
looks like. I think, uh, probably more
family time between like the 3 to 8:00
p.m. range is probably also going to get
put in there. This would be like more
family and exercise time. Uh, although
we do have the podcast, so we might have
to move adjust the podcast a little bit.
Um, probably go, you know, if we did the
podcast around like 2:00. Ooh, that
might be juicy. Maybe 2:00 p.m. pod.
That would give me around like 3 to 8
just to be like human during the week.
Or if I needed to fly somewhere and, you
know, round trip something. We could do
that in that time frame, too. Like I
could do like a 300 p.m. takeoff or 3:15
takeoff and then be back same day, even
if I'm back a little later. Well, we'll
we'll play around with this. So, uh,
some cool options here. More family
exercise time, the the the mini funds,
the competition, the, uh, ETF world. ETF
world, very, very exciting. There are a
lot of opportunities for improvement
here. And what's really interesting is
all of these things, they all allow us
to advance house hack. Uh that's the
beauty is all of this goes into house
hack
because think about this if house hack
is here in the middle
then what you have fueling house hack is
you have Kevin's
uh real estate experience.
So all of the you know prior experience
that I have with real estate and
construction renovations tenants
whatever that goes into it. House hack
benefits from the plane. House hack
benefits from YouTube.
House hack's going to, we believe,
benefit from the broker dealer world.
And who knows, maybe in the future,
Houseach would even benefit from the ETF
world. So, we think all of this creates
this really cool laser beam. Uh, this
this highly focused laser that's just
going forward in one direction. So, it's
almost like all of these other little
supporting factors should really just be
behind it creating this this tailwind
behind uh what what will be I think a
fantastic company and hopefully you'll
be here to watch it grow. But uh this uh
this gives you a good nice overview.
See, if you draw it like that, it makes
a little bit more visual sense, right?
Throw YouTube on that side too. Anyway,
you get the idea. So
maybe this makes everything a little bit
more transparent and aware for
everybody. Uh I think the only thing
that we haven't touched on is sort of my
belief on securities
uh from an investing point of view. I I
think I've been very clear that I think
rates are going to come down and I want
to be exposed to companies with pricing
power that will benefit from lower rates
and so that's just how I'm positioned.
But my belief is, you know, you just
keep trying uh and and growing because
if you're not, then then you're
stagnating and then you're failing by
default. And that ain't me. So anyway,
email us at staffmeke.com. Uh we've got
a lot of emails, so it's going to be a
minute before I get the uh um get to all
of the emails. So give us a chance here
to catch up to all the emails. We're
going to keep doing our best. uh as as
fast as we can and uh really appreciate
you. Hopefully this was a useful update
for you. Anyway, we'll see you in the
next one. Goodbye.
Why not advertise these things that you
told us here? I feel like nobody else
knows about this.
We'll we'll try a little advertising and
see how it goes. Congratulations, man.
You have done so much. People love you.
People look up to you.
