1 0:00:14,293 --> 0:00:17,255 Mark Haney: And now from the Marquee Media Studio

2 0:00:17,416 --> 0:00:18,837 Mark Haney: inside Mark Tank.

3 0:00:19,400 --> 0:00:21,749 Mark Haney: It's the Mark Haney Show.

4 0:00:24,003 --> 0:00:26,108 Jason Salinas: Yes, this is the Mark Haney Show and we are

5 0:00:26,148 --> 0:00:27,592 Jason Salinas: on a mission to ignite the entrepreneurial

6 0:00:27,660 --> 0:00:28,986 Jason Salinas: revolution right here in the hometown we

7 0:00:29,046 --> 0:00:31,127 Jason Salinas: love, and we're doing that by building the

8 0:00:31,247 --> 0:00:33,998 Jason Salinas: backyard advantage the most connected

9 0:00:34,018 --> 0:00:35,163 Jason Salinas: community in the world for local

10 0:00:35,263 --> 0:00:35,866 Jason Salinas: entrepreneurs.

11 0:00:36,560 --> 0:00:40,047 Jason Salinas: And we started this show to inspire people,

12 0:00:40,728 --> 0:00:44,340 Jason Salinas: to connect people, to educate people, and

13 0:00:44,360 --> 0:00:47,489 Jason Salinas: today on our show, we're going to have some

14 0:00:47,549 --> 0:00:48,011 Jason Salinas: of that.

15 0:00:48,521 --> 0:00:49,964 Jason Salinas: I think there's going to be maybe a little

16 0:00:49,984 --> 0:00:53,091 Jason Salinas: bit more inspiration than normal.

17 0:00:53,740 --> 0:00:55,583 Jason Salinas: I think if there's one thing that separates

18 0:00:56,545 --> 0:01:00,953 Jason Salinas: winners from the rest of us is the strength

19 0:01:01,700 --> 0:01:04,825 Jason Salinas: to keep going, the strength to persevere,

20 0:01:05,366 --> 0:01:08,832 Jason Salinas: the determination, the toughness, the

21 0:01:08,952 --> 0:01:13,206 Jason Salinas: courage, and despite the odds, they, and

22 0:01:13,226 --> 0:01:16,313 Jason Salinas: despite the pain, they continue to go on.

23 0:01:16,500 --> 0:01:18,426 Jason Salinas: And today on the show we're going to have

24 0:01:18,807 --> 0:01:19,910 Jason Salinas: Jason Salinas.

25 0:01:20,341 --> 0:01:21,867 Jason Salinas: I want to welcome you, jason, to the show.

26 0:01:21,960 --> 0:01:23,885 Jason Salinas: I've been wanting to have you on the show

27 0:01:24,526 --> 0:01:27,092 Jason Salinas: for a long time, knowing you had a really

28 0:01:27,420 --> 0:01:29,405 Jason Salinas: cool story, but we were prompted by our

29 0:01:29,445 --> 0:01:31,711 Jason Salinas: mutual friend, jason Bartlett, so that's

30 0:01:31,751 --> 0:01:33,905 Jason Salinas: cool you are here finally after all these

31 0:01:33,925 --> 0:01:34,206 Jason Salinas: years.

32 0:01:34,800 --> 0:01:37,166 Jason Salinas: So I appreciate you coming on the show.

33 0:01:39,080 --> 0:01:40,826 Jason Salinas: So you're an entrepreneur, but you're more

34 0:01:40,847 --> 0:01:41,228 Jason Salinas: than that.

35 0:01:41,400 --> 0:01:42,743 Jason Salinas: Let's start off with a little bit of

36 0:01:43,706 --> 0:01:45,751 Jason Salinas: entrepreneurial talk, if you will.

37 0:01:46,280 --> 0:01:49,586 Jason Salinas: You've had this 20 years in business as a

38 0:01:51,248 --> 0:01:54,935 Jason Salinas: fitness guy and as a professional athlete,

39 0:01:55,020 --> 0:01:56,205 Jason Salinas: professional bodybuilder.

40 0:01:56,620 --> 0:01:58,164 Jason Salinas: So maybe tell us about that business and

41 0:01:58,184 --> 0:01:59,527 Jason Salinas: that and that little bit of that background

42 0:01:59,587 --> 0:01:59,948 Jason Salinas: and journey.

43 0:02:00,129 --> 0:02:02,504 Speaker 1: Okay, well, you know I was always into

44 0:02:02,544 --> 0:02:02,926 Speaker 1: working out.

45 0:02:02,980 --> 0:02:05,046 Speaker 1: I played sports in high school and it was

46 0:02:05,086 --> 0:02:06,490 Speaker 1: important to me to take care of my body.

47 0:02:06,760 --> 0:02:07,869 Speaker 1: You know this you'd have those kids that

48 0:02:07,889 --> 0:02:09,038 Speaker 1: would go in the weight room, spend the

49 0:02:09,058 --> 0:02:10,144 Speaker 1: minimal time in there and they were out of

50 0:02:10,164 --> 0:02:10,325 Speaker 1: there.

51 0:02:10,720 --> 0:02:12,305 Speaker 1: And any chance I could get when I was in

52 0:02:12,325 --> 0:02:13,248 Speaker 1: high school I was in the gym.

53 0:02:13,800 --> 0:02:15,710 Speaker 1: And so my very first job out of high school

54 0:02:15,750 --> 0:02:17,439 Speaker 1: I got working at a little family on gym

55 0:02:17,459 --> 0:02:18,704 Speaker 1: right across street from Sierra college

56 0:02:19,125 --> 0:02:20,920 Speaker 1: while I was playing football there and

57 0:02:20,940 --> 0:02:22,025 Speaker 1: still didn't really know what I wanted to

58 0:02:22,046 --> 0:02:22,106 Speaker 1: do.

59 0:02:22,180 --> 0:02:24,771 Speaker 1: I just knew I loved the gym and I would sit

60 0:02:24,932 --> 0:02:26,900 Speaker 1: from 5am until 9am when no one was really

61 0:02:27,000 --> 0:02:28,827 Speaker 1: there and watch the early morning people

62 0:02:28,867 --> 0:02:29,189 Speaker 1: work out.

63 0:02:29,260 --> 0:02:30,467 Speaker 1: I was so intrigued at all the different

64 0:02:30,528 --> 0:02:32,539 Speaker 1: styles of training and really just I tell

65 0:02:32,559 --> 0:02:33,683 Speaker 1: people about probably where I learned the

66 0:02:33,763 --> 0:02:35,328 Speaker 1: most out of all the certifications and all

67 0:02:35,348 --> 0:02:37,104 Speaker 1: the courses really just studying the

68 0:02:37,144 --> 0:02:39,176 Speaker 1: different styles of workouts and realizing

69 0:02:39,216 --> 0:02:40,582 Speaker 1: that there's so many different styles that

70 0:02:40,602 --> 0:02:41,466 Speaker 1: fit individual needs.

71 0:02:42,420 --> 0:02:44,186 Speaker 1: But I still wasn't really sure what my path

72 0:02:44,226 --> 0:02:44,406 Speaker 1: was.

73 0:02:44,447 --> 0:02:44,627 Speaker 1: Going.

74 0:02:44,647 --> 0:02:46,545 Speaker 1: To school I knew I always wanted to help

75 0:02:46,565 --> 0:02:46,786 Speaker 1: people.

76 0:02:46,900 --> 0:02:48,206 Speaker 1: I was enjoying working with people.

77 0:02:48,260 --> 0:02:49,745 Speaker 1: I was actually a peer helper in high school,

78 0:02:51,120 --> 0:02:53,162 Speaker 1: went through a little trauma when I was

79 0:02:53,279 --> 0:02:55,227 Speaker 1: younger and I had psychiatrist and

80 0:02:55,345 --> 0:02:57,145 Speaker 1: counselors that worked with me and they did

81 0:02:57,165 --> 0:02:57,547 Speaker 1: a lot for me.

82 0:02:57,680 --> 0:02:58,684 Speaker 1: So I always kind of thought maybe that's

83 0:02:58,724 --> 0:02:59,587 Speaker 1: the path that I want to go.

84 0:03:00,160 --> 0:03:01,627 Speaker 1: But I made the mistake of taking my first

85 0:03:01,647 --> 0:03:03,797 Speaker 1: psychology class one night a week, three

86 0:03:03,878 --> 0:03:06,281 Speaker 1: hours after football practice and it

87 0:03:06,342 --> 0:03:07,406 Speaker 1: literally flew over my head.

88 0:03:07,480 --> 0:03:08,944 Speaker 1: I think I probably went to half the classes

89 0:03:09,446 --> 0:03:10,830 Speaker 1: and actually ended up failing that class.

90 0:03:10,940 --> 0:03:12,064 Speaker 1: I said, man, I got to find a different

91 0:03:12,204 --> 0:03:13,628 Speaker 1: avenue in order to work with people.

92 0:03:14,320 --> 0:03:16,205 Speaker 1: And so while working at the gym it just

93 0:03:16,225 --> 0:03:18,130 Speaker 1: kind of it kind of I got tired of sitting

94 0:03:18,150 --> 0:03:18,611 Speaker 1: in the front desk.

95 0:03:19,160 --> 0:03:20,163 Speaker 1: So I said hey, do you mind if I do

96 0:03:20,223 --> 0:03:21,868 Speaker 1: orientation, show people how to work, work

97 0:03:21,908 --> 0:03:22,850 Speaker 1: on the equipment when they sign up.

98 0:03:23,320 --> 0:03:24,646 Speaker 1: So I kind of created this little position

99 0:03:25,329 --> 0:03:26,977 Speaker 1: and I'd say probably two, three weeks in

100 0:03:27,480 --> 0:03:28,760 Speaker 1: this family came in with their daughter I

101 0:03:28,780 --> 0:03:30,286 Speaker 1: was probably 19 at the time, girls probably

102 0:03:30,326 --> 0:03:30,627 Speaker 1: 14.

103 0:03:30,940 --> 0:03:31,943 Speaker 1: They should probably have a little crush on

104 0:03:31,963 --> 0:03:32,043 Speaker 1: me.

105 0:03:32,063 --> 0:03:32,905 Speaker 1: She says is he a trainer?

106 0:03:32,945 --> 0:03:33,486 Speaker 1: Can he train me?

107 0:03:34,068 --> 0:03:35,150 Speaker 1: So they said you train I go.

108 0:03:35,371 --> 0:03:35,852 Speaker 1: Yeah, I do.

109 0:03:36,160 --> 0:03:37,929 Speaker 1: I wasn't even certified, but they got some

110 0:03:37,970 --> 0:03:38,935 Speaker 1: sessions and I started.

111 0:03:39,096 --> 0:03:41,303 Speaker 1: I started training this girl and very

112 0:03:41,343 --> 0:03:43,286 Speaker 1: shortly after that I started dating.

113 0:03:43,968 --> 0:03:45,070 Speaker 1: You probably know Jim floor.

114 0:03:45,411 --> 0:03:45,651 Jason Salinas: Yeah.

115 0:03:45,691 --> 0:03:45,851 Speaker 1: Yeah.

116 0:03:47,320 --> 0:03:47,561 Jason Salinas: Andrew floor.

117 0:03:47,581 --> 0:03:48,644 Jason Salinas: Sister Megan floor was one of the first

118 0:03:48,724 --> 0:03:51,401 Jason Salinas: guests on our show and an annual Andrew

119 0:03:51,421 --> 0:03:53,385 Jason Salinas: floor at some level, because he was a good

120 0:03:53,405 --> 0:03:54,207 Jason Salinas: football player as well.

121 0:03:56,980 --> 0:03:58,567 Jason Salinas: But I want to stop for just a second here

122 0:03:58,607 --> 0:04:01,239 Jason Salinas: because there's a lesson in there for

123 0:04:01,279 --> 0:04:02,644 Jason Salinas: anybody out there that's got their first

124 0:04:02,704 --> 0:04:03,005 Jason Salinas: job.

125 0:04:04,040 --> 0:04:07,386 Jason Salinas: If you see something that you think you can

126 0:04:07,526 --> 0:04:10,952 Jason Salinas: add value in, like orientation or you know,

127 0:04:12,240 --> 0:04:13,886 Jason Salinas: don't be afraid to step up and create

128 0:04:13,906 --> 0:04:14,909 Jason Salinas: yourself your own position.

129 0:04:15,140 --> 0:04:16,725 Jason Salinas: So anyway, yeah keep continuing your

130 0:04:16,745 --> 0:04:17,146 Jason Salinas: stories.

131 0:04:17,367 --> 0:04:17,548 Speaker 1: Yeah.

132 0:04:18,581 --> 0:04:20,731 Speaker 1: So, um, shortly after that, megan obviously

133 0:04:20,751 --> 0:04:22,318 Speaker 1: we started dating and her parents.

134 0:04:22,359 --> 0:04:24,966 Speaker 1: They have this beautiful three card garage

135 0:04:25,006 --> 0:04:26,671 Speaker 1: gym converted into a gym for Andrew.

136 0:04:27,100 --> 0:04:28,625 Speaker 1: He was middle school getting ready for high

137 0:04:28,665 --> 0:04:28,805 Speaker 1: school.

138 0:04:28,825 --> 0:04:30,620 Speaker 1: At that time had a personal trainer that

139 0:04:30,640 --> 0:04:32,344 Speaker 1: came to the house train train the family.

140 0:04:33,086 --> 0:04:35,111 Speaker 1: He got hurt and so they said, hey, isn't

141 0:04:35,131 --> 0:04:35,852 Speaker 1: your boyfriend a trainer?

142 0:04:36,140 --> 0:04:37,270 Speaker 1: Can he come and train us?

143 0:04:37,320 --> 0:04:38,564 Speaker 1: So next thing, you know, I go out there, I

144 0:04:38,584 --> 0:04:40,661 Speaker 1: sit with that brand Graham I'm not

145 0:04:40,681 --> 0:04:41,683 Speaker 1: mentioning anything?

146 0:04:42,304 --> 0:04:43,687 Jason Salinas: Oh, shoot, I think it was.

147 0:04:43,707 --> 0:04:44,268 Jason Salinas: Yeah, I was.

148 0:04:44,328 --> 0:04:45,250 Jason Salinas: I went to high school with him.

149 0:04:45,290 --> 0:04:45,991 Jason Salinas: Okay, did you ever?

150 0:04:46,011 --> 0:04:47,640 Jason Salinas: Hear about the story of the half on that I

151 0:04:47,720 --> 0:04:49,043 Jason Salinas: heard it, but I don't know it.

152 0:04:49,544 --> 0:04:50,486 Speaker 1: Yeah, he got injured.

153 0:04:50,506 --> 0:04:51,228 Speaker 1: What is even that?

154 0:04:51,248 --> 0:04:51,669 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay.

155 0:04:54,160 --> 0:04:55,287 Speaker 1: So next thing you know, they said, hey, you

156 0:04:55,307 --> 0:04:56,252 Speaker 1: know, are you willing to come and train us

157 0:04:56,272 --> 0:04:56,635 Speaker 1: at the house?

158 0:04:56,655 --> 0:04:57,520 Speaker 1: I said Sure.

159 0:04:57,560 --> 0:05:00,006 Speaker 1: So we sat down and we talked and what I can

160 0:05:00,026 --> 0:05:02,192 Speaker 1: remember about that point time is he was a

161 0:05:02,340 --> 0:05:03,845 Speaker 1: bodybuilder, a professional bodybuilder,

162 0:05:03,865 --> 0:05:06,421 Speaker 1: but he was really hardcore in it and I

163 0:05:06,561 --> 0:05:08,667 Speaker 1: think the style of training was more like a

164 0:05:08,707 --> 0:05:10,100 Speaker 1: bodybuilding training for this couple, and

165 0:05:10,121 --> 0:05:11,471 Speaker 1: so they were a little bit older at that

166 0:05:11,491 --> 0:05:11,592 Speaker 1: time.

167 0:05:11,640 --> 0:05:13,425 Speaker 1: They looked good, but I think the push of

168 0:05:13,445 --> 0:05:15,171 Speaker 1: the heavy weights they were getting injured,

169 0:05:15,320 --> 0:05:17,280 Speaker 1: they couldn't create any consistency, they

170 0:05:17,300 --> 0:05:18,244 Speaker 1: couldn't create any results.

171 0:05:19,320 --> 0:05:21,011 Speaker 1: Here I came in and with what knowledge I

172 0:05:21,031 --> 0:05:22,319 Speaker 1: had learned in this short time, instead of

173 0:05:22,339 --> 0:05:23,609 Speaker 1: these different solid workouts, that, hey,

174 0:05:23,911 --> 0:05:25,100 Speaker 1: this is what we need to do for you guys.

175 0:05:25,120 --> 0:05:25,962 Speaker 1: We need to do high pace.

176 0:05:26,343 --> 0:05:28,428 Speaker 1: You know movements, you know good form,

177 0:05:28,468 --> 0:05:30,132 Speaker 1: technique, constantly changing workouts up,

178 0:05:30,521 --> 0:05:31,665 Speaker 1: and in two months they'd gotten better

179 0:05:31,705 --> 0:05:33,150 Speaker 1: results than they had seen in two years.

180 0:05:33,260 --> 0:05:35,346 Speaker 1: Now you know they were at that time they

181 0:05:35,366 --> 0:05:37,832 Speaker 1: were selling out um Arc Arena, anaheim

182 0:05:37,921 --> 0:05:40,758 Speaker 1: Stadium, 15, 17,000 people as the main

183 0:05:40,778 --> 0:05:41,020 Speaker 1: speaker.

184 0:05:41,181 --> 0:05:42,330 Speaker 1: So all of a sudden now they're showing up

185 0:05:42,350 --> 0:05:43,600 Speaker 1: at these events and people are like, oh my

186 0:05:43,721 --> 0:05:44,665 Speaker 1: God, what are you doing?

187 0:05:45,320 --> 0:05:47,307 Speaker 1: And they said we got a new trainer Right.

188 0:05:47,960 --> 0:05:49,044 Speaker 1: And so next thing, you know, all the local

189 0:05:49,084 --> 0:05:50,729 Speaker 1: granite Bay diamonds that were underneath

190 0:05:50,769 --> 0:05:52,104 Speaker 1: them were, can he train us at your house?

191 0:05:52,500 --> 0:05:53,635 Speaker 1: So next thing, you know, I've got a

193 0:05:54,000 --> 0:05:54,982 Speaker 1: I was big in Amway.

194 0:05:55,022 --> 0:05:56,606 Jason Salinas: Yeah, yeah, so I've got a speaker.

195 0:05:56,787 --> 0:05:59,662 Speaker 1: I've got a schedule I'm training, probably,

196 0:05:59,682 --> 0:06:00,565 Speaker 1: you know, 10 to 12 people twice to three

197 0:06:00,586 --> 0:06:02,123 Speaker 1: times a week, and so I kind of created my

198 0:06:02,164 --> 0:06:03,428 Speaker 1: own personal training business right here

199 0:06:04,301 --> 0:06:06,067 Speaker 1: and so still wasn't really sure if that's

200 0:06:06,087 --> 0:06:06,629 Speaker 1: what I want to do.

201 0:06:06,760 --> 0:06:08,288 Speaker 1: I was kind of, you know, being young,

202 0:06:08,348 --> 0:06:10,378 Speaker 1: having fun running around with Jason

203 0:06:10,398 --> 0:06:12,666 Speaker 1: Bartlett at that time you know uh doing a

204 0:06:12,726 --> 0:06:14,648 Speaker 1: little bit of everything and I remember,

205 0:06:14,851 --> 0:06:15,680 Speaker 1: but I was always a hustler.

206 0:06:15,780 --> 0:06:17,405 Speaker 1: I mean I tell people you know when we talk

207 0:06:17,425 --> 0:06:19,820 Speaker 1: about I got out the minute I turned 18, I

208 0:06:19,880 --> 0:06:20,342 Speaker 1: moved out.

209 0:06:20,824 --> 0:06:21,788 Speaker 1: I was working two jobs.

210 0:06:21,860 --> 0:06:22,983 Speaker 1: I got a job at five in the morning there.

211 0:06:23,043 --> 0:06:24,989 Speaker 1: Then I went and did a temp, a student job

212 0:06:25,029 --> 0:06:27,004 Speaker 1: for the state, and I always was just trying

213 0:06:27,024 --> 0:06:29,325 Speaker 1: to hustle and grind and so it never was

214 0:06:29,505 --> 0:06:31,030 Speaker 1: depending on anybody for anything.

215 0:06:31,400 --> 0:06:34,426 Speaker 1: And so during this this uh transition of

216 0:06:34,466 --> 0:06:36,872 Speaker 1: training these clients not really sure if

217 0:06:36,912 --> 0:06:37,960 Speaker 1: that was kind of the bark for me I was

218 0:06:37,981 --> 0:06:39,186 Speaker 1: still kind of going to school at Sierra.

219 0:06:39,480 --> 0:06:40,745 Speaker 1: I said I was on the five year plan at

220 0:06:40,765 --> 0:06:43,032 Speaker 1: Sierra college and I had a defining moment.

221 0:06:43,060 --> 0:06:44,836 Speaker 1: I had an apartment fire and lost everything

222 0:06:44,856 --> 0:06:45,280 Speaker 1: in my apartment.

223 0:06:45,340 --> 0:06:47,321 Speaker 1: I was too prideful to move home, and so

224 0:06:47,382 --> 0:06:49,313 Speaker 1: that's what really kind of kicked me into a

225 0:06:49,394 --> 0:06:50,661 Speaker 1: gear where I was like, okay, I got to get

226 0:06:50,721 --> 0:06:51,926 Speaker 1: serious and figure out what I want to do.

227 0:06:52,880 --> 0:06:55,447 Speaker 1: And so I had at the time had transitioned

228 0:06:55,467 --> 0:06:57,220 Speaker 1: and started working for 24 hour fitness, a

229 0:06:57,280 --> 0:07:00,569 Speaker 1: big corporation, and was really enjoying

230 0:07:00,589 --> 0:07:00,749 Speaker 1: that.

231 0:07:00,870 --> 0:07:01,892 Speaker 1: But there wasn't consistency.

232 0:07:01,940 --> 0:07:03,281 Speaker 1: I'd have one month where I was there, next

233 0:07:03,301 --> 0:07:04,786 Speaker 1: month I'm kind of running around and they

234 0:07:04,826 --> 0:07:05,589 Speaker 1: came to me a couple of times.

235 0:07:05,700 --> 0:07:06,944 Speaker 1: I said, hey, you have the potential to be a

236 0:07:06,985 --> 0:07:08,329 Speaker 1: manager, but you got to be more consistent.

237 0:07:08,480 --> 0:07:09,987 Speaker 1: So I was like, hey, guys, I'm ready.

238 0:07:10,060 --> 0:07:11,325 Speaker 1: You want me to work weekends, whatever it

239 0:07:11,405 --> 0:07:12,008 Speaker 1: is, I'll do it.

240 0:07:12,060 --> 0:07:12,884 Speaker 1: I want to get that position.

241 0:07:13,560 --> 0:07:15,427 Speaker 1: I always liked, uh, cutting my buddy's hair

242 0:07:15,508 --> 0:07:16,463 Speaker 1: too, so I thought I wanted to be a

243 0:07:16,724 --> 0:07:17,286 Speaker 1: hairstylist.

244 0:07:17,360 --> 0:07:20,529 Speaker 1: So I had enrolled, uh, I got into Sac State,

245 0:07:20,549 --> 0:07:21,781 Speaker 1: but it wasn't starting till the fall, and I

246 0:07:21,821 --> 0:07:23,106 Speaker 1: also enrolled in cosmotology school.

247 0:07:23,160 --> 0:07:24,765 Speaker 1: I said, whatever one comes first is where

248 0:07:24,785 --> 0:07:25,608 Speaker 1: I'm going to put that energy.

249 0:07:26,520 --> 0:07:27,664 Speaker 1: And so they came to me about a month later

250 0:07:27,684 --> 0:07:29,169 Speaker 1: and said, hey, we're going to have you, um,

251 0:07:29,520 --> 0:07:31,465 Speaker 1: manage, be a, basically the fitness manager

252 0:07:31,486 --> 0:07:33,311 Speaker 1: in charge of the trainers of 24 hour

253 0:07:33,331 --> 0:07:34,724 Speaker 1: fitness, the brand new one opening up right

254 0:07:34,764 --> 0:07:35,366 Speaker 1: by the autumn mall.

255 0:07:36,180 --> 0:07:36,924 Speaker 1: So I said, let's do it.

256 0:07:37,240 --> 0:07:37,420 Speaker 1: It was.

257 0:07:37,601 --> 0:07:40,987 Speaker 1: You know, you go from making maybe 20,000 a

258 0:07:41,027 --> 0:07:43,532 Speaker 1: year to 65,000, my first year at 19 years

259 0:07:43,613 --> 0:07:44,663 Speaker 1: old, I was like okay.

260 0:07:44,683 --> 0:07:46,703 Jason Salinas: I'm ready for this thing, and so that's

261 0:07:46,743 --> 0:07:47,084 Jason Salinas: still.

262 0:07:47,204 --> 0:07:49,169 Jason Salinas: That's good money, but at that time that

263 0:07:49,189 --> 0:07:49,710 Jason Salinas: was a lot of money.

264 0:07:49,730 --> 0:07:50,833 Jason Salinas: That's a lot of money at that time.

265 0:07:50,860 --> 0:07:52,105 Speaker 1: You know I'd always dependent on having a

266 0:07:52,145 --> 0:07:52,627 Speaker 1: roommate or two.

267 0:07:52,780 --> 0:07:53,964 Speaker 1: Now is for the first time, had my own

268 0:07:54,004 --> 0:07:55,267 Speaker 1: apartment, had no debt.

269 0:07:55,308 --> 0:07:56,210 Speaker 1: Went by my first car.

270 0:07:56,520 --> 0:07:58,727 Jason Salinas: That'd be like making 120 grand a year now,

271 0:07:58,767 --> 0:07:59,128 Jason Salinas: or something.

272 0:07:59,208 --> 0:07:59,810 Jason Salinas: It felt like it.

273 0:07:59,890 --> 0:08:00,592 Jason Salinas: Yeah, that's for sure.

274 0:08:01,360 --> 0:08:01,762 Speaker 1: And so.

275 0:08:02,123 --> 0:08:03,348 Speaker 1: But when I did that, they said guess what?

276 0:08:03,440 --> 0:08:04,484 Speaker 1: Here's the thing, though you can't train

277 0:08:04,524 --> 0:08:05,187 Speaker 1: clients anymore.

278 0:08:05,520 --> 0:08:07,651 Speaker 1: You now got to train the trainers to do

279 0:08:07,832 --> 0:08:09,399 Speaker 1: what you've been doing to be successful in

280 0:08:09,419 --> 0:08:11,001 Speaker 1: these last couple of years, and so it was

281 0:08:11,021 --> 0:08:13,108 Speaker 1: kind of a new thing for me to adapt to

282 0:08:13,128 --> 0:08:13,710 Speaker 1: really enjoy both.

283 0:08:14,080 --> 0:08:15,906 Speaker 1: I enjoy, obviously, training clients, but I

284 0:08:15,966 --> 0:08:18,113 Speaker 1: also like working with people who are

285 0:08:18,133 --> 0:08:19,323 Speaker 1: looking at owning their own business and

286 0:08:19,343 --> 0:08:21,007 Speaker 1: becoming their own trainer and teaching

287 0:08:21,027 --> 0:08:22,471 Speaker 1: them all the insights to be successful.

288 0:08:22,740 --> 0:08:24,426 Speaker 1: So it's kind of something I really enjoy,

289 0:08:25,180 --> 0:08:26,825 Speaker 1: and I think at that time, because I had

290 0:08:26,865 --> 0:08:28,490 Speaker 1: such a big pool of trainers, coming to the

291 0:08:28,550 --> 0:08:30,327 Speaker 1: big gym was a lot easier.

292 0:08:30,540 --> 0:08:32,305 Speaker 1: Now I find it harder to really find

293 0:08:32,365 --> 0:08:34,410 Speaker 1: somebody who's as passionate about training

294 0:08:34,450 --> 0:08:36,546 Speaker 1: as I am, that's willing to invest the time.

295 0:08:36,740 --> 0:08:38,124 Speaker 1: I'm saying hey, you come and shadow with me

296 0:08:38,505 --> 0:08:39,910 Speaker 1: as sooner, and the more time you invest,

297 0:08:40,200 --> 0:08:41,265 Speaker 1: the faster I'll get you to where you need

298 0:08:41,285 --> 0:08:41,406 Speaker 1: to be.

299 0:08:41,520 --> 0:08:42,806 Speaker 1: They start and then they fall off.

300 0:08:42,980 --> 0:08:43,623 Speaker 1: That's the craziest thing.

301 0:08:44,240 --> 0:08:45,604 Speaker 1: So if there was a struggle, I'm still

302 0:08:45,644 --> 0:08:47,750 Speaker 1: learning on how to attract that, I think,

303 0:08:47,790 --> 0:08:48,391 Speaker 1: right now for me.

304 0:08:48,661 --> 0:08:50,746 Jason Salinas: Well, 20 years in business, you know you

305 0:08:50,786 --> 0:08:51,288 Jason Salinas: mentioned that.

306 0:08:51,508 --> 0:08:56,186 Jason Salinas: You know watching some of these athletes

307 0:08:56,226 --> 0:08:58,271 Jason Salinas: work out when you're in your first job.

308 0:08:58,680 --> 0:09:01,927 Jason Salinas: But fitness has changed a little bit.

309 0:09:01,967 --> 0:09:02,669 Jason Salinas: I was over there.

310 0:09:02,809 --> 0:09:03,791 Jason Salinas: You invited me.

311 0:09:03,871 --> 0:09:04,853 Jason Salinas: I wanted you to come on the show.

312 0:09:04,980 --> 0:09:06,286 Jason Salinas: You said why'd you come over and work out?

313 0:09:06,500 --> 0:09:08,907 Jason Salinas: And I'll admit I was very intimidated went

314 0:09:08,968 --> 0:09:09,931 Jason Salinas: over there and you took it.

315 0:09:10,000 --> 0:09:11,446 Jason Salinas: You were, you know, gentle with me, took it

316 0:09:11,506 --> 0:09:11,928 Jason Salinas: nice and easy.

317 0:09:11,960 --> 0:09:12,943 Jason Salinas: I went with the light weights and.

318 0:09:13,465 --> 0:09:16,495 Jason Salinas: But the workout that you put us through it

319 0:09:16,595 --> 0:09:19,366 Jason Salinas: was kind of like a circuit training.

320 0:09:19,960 --> 0:09:21,907 Jason Salinas: You didn't get a lot of rest in between.

321 0:09:22,860 --> 0:09:26,408 Jason Salinas: You picked four exercises and we bounced

322 0:09:26,488 --> 0:09:29,683 Jason Salinas: from circuit to circuit and we went through

323 0:09:29,703 --> 0:09:31,493 Jason Salinas: those four exercises four times and then we

324 0:09:31,553 --> 0:09:33,622 Jason Salinas: changed to another set of exercises and

325 0:09:34,083 --> 0:09:36,608 Jason Salinas: that continued for a while until I was

326 0:09:36,649 --> 0:09:37,731 Jason Salinas: exhausted and I had to quit.

327 0:09:38,760 --> 0:09:42,747 Jason Salinas: But is that the traditional workout that

328 0:09:42,787 --> 0:09:46,032 Jason Salinas: you would put a middle age man or an old

329 0:09:46,072 --> 0:09:46,593 Jason Salinas: man through?

330 0:09:46,633 --> 0:09:47,961 Jason Salinas: Or middle age man, cause there are some

331 0:09:47,981 --> 0:09:48,825 Jason Salinas: other guys working out with us?

332 0:09:48,945 --> 0:09:49,166 Speaker 1: Yeah.

333 0:09:50,000 --> 0:09:50,990 Speaker 1: So the bonus idea I would start anybody

334 0:09:51,010 --> 0:09:51,818 Speaker 1: with a full body workout.

335 0:09:52,060 --> 0:09:53,627 Speaker 1: Now, when we were younger, you know, you

336 0:09:53,647 --> 0:09:55,375 Speaker 1: kind of got you jumped right into the

337 0:09:55,455 --> 0:09:57,745 Speaker 1: splits, chest and trice, back and bars,

338 0:09:57,825 --> 0:09:59,984 Speaker 1: legs, shoulders and I did that for years.

339 0:10:00,560 --> 0:10:02,524 Speaker 1: And even when I did that style of workout,

340 0:10:02,584 --> 0:10:04,969 Speaker 1: or when I go back to it now, I still put

341 0:10:05,029 --> 0:10:05,630 Speaker 1: things together.

342 0:10:05,911 --> 0:10:06,993 Speaker 1: Now you said circuit training.

343 0:10:07,360 --> 0:10:08,284 Speaker 1: I've had people go oh, we're doing circuit

344 0:10:08,304 --> 0:10:08,485 Speaker 1: training.

345 0:10:08,600 --> 0:10:10,546 Speaker 1: I always like to say we're doing mass super

346 0:10:10,566 --> 0:10:10,867 Speaker 1: setting.

347 0:10:11,369 --> 0:10:11,670 Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.

348 0:10:11,980 --> 0:10:13,766 Speaker 1: To me circuit training is you're going to

349 0:10:13,786 --> 0:10:14,949 Speaker 1: be on station one, I'm going to be on

350 0:10:14,969 --> 0:10:16,262 Speaker 1: station two, we're going to go for 30

351 0:10:16,302 --> 0:10:18,088 Speaker 1: seconds or a minute and then we'll rotate

352 0:10:18,529 --> 0:10:18,810 Speaker 1: this.

353 0:10:19,040 --> 0:10:21,186 Speaker 1: You're still pushing 12 to 15 reps and then

354 0:10:21,227 --> 0:10:22,821 Speaker 1: you can actually increase the set Once you

355 0:10:22,861 --> 0:10:25,329 Speaker 1: get used to the, the conditioning of the

356 0:10:25,369 --> 0:10:25,530 Speaker 1: set.

357 0:10:25,580 --> 0:10:27,370 Speaker 1: And I start everybody off slow, not just

358 0:10:27,430 --> 0:10:29,139 Speaker 1: you but anybody, because I don't want to be

359 0:10:29,179 --> 0:10:29,701 Speaker 1: that trainer.

360 0:10:30,223 --> 0:10:31,606 Speaker 1: And for guys, it takes a lot for them to

361 0:10:31,646 --> 0:10:33,231 Speaker 1: come in and work out with a male trainer

362 0:10:33,640 --> 0:10:35,446 Speaker 1: and not think they're going to try to bury

363 0:10:35,466 --> 0:10:37,070 Speaker 1: them and put themselves here.

364 0:10:37,200 --> 0:10:38,847 Speaker 1: So I tell everybody start out slow.

365 0:10:38,960 --> 0:10:40,647 Speaker 1: I usually would tell them hey, you did four

366 0:10:40,687 --> 0:10:41,641 Speaker 1: sets, you did our exact worker.

367 0:10:41,662 --> 0:10:43,566 Speaker 1: But I'll even tell somebody new, just do

368 0:10:43,606 --> 0:10:43,847 Speaker 1: two.

369 0:10:44,208 --> 0:10:45,851 Speaker 1: Okay, I got two big guys that just started

370 0:10:45,872 --> 0:10:45,992 Speaker 1: with.

371 0:10:46,420 --> 0:10:47,603 Speaker 1: I mean, if you've seen them, you would

372 0:10:47,623 --> 0:10:50,030 Speaker 1: think these are your, your big guys in the

373 0:10:50,050 --> 0:10:50,331 Speaker 1: gym.

374 0:10:50,692 --> 0:10:52,164 Speaker 1: And they started my workouts and they

375 0:10:52,204 --> 0:10:53,889 Speaker 1: barely were doing two rounds, yeah, and

376 0:10:53,909 --> 0:10:55,053 Speaker 1: then they were in the bathroom throwing up.

377 0:10:55,434 --> 0:10:56,841 Jason Salinas: Oh, they're used to power it, they're used

378 0:10:56,861 --> 0:10:57,946 Jason Salinas: to having they're not used to that,

379 0:10:57,986 --> 0:11:00,345 Jason Salinas: conditioning you don't allow for you know I

380 0:11:00,386 --> 0:11:01,329 Jason Salinas: don't want to say allow.

381 0:11:01,880 --> 0:11:04,027 Jason Salinas: There's didn't feel like the time to rest.

382 0:11:04,127 --> 0:11:04,770 Jason Salinas: In between.

383 0:11:05,000 --> 0:11:06,345 Jason Salinas: I was trying to keep up with you and the

384 0:11:06,405 --> 0:11:07,809 Jason Salinas: other two guys that were working out with

385 0:11:07,850 --> 0:11:09,486 Jason Salinas: us and it's like, well, we're not resting,

386 0:11:09,660 --> 0:11:11,387 Jason Salinas: and so I'm kind of curious about that too

387 0:11:11,460 --> 0:11:11,560 Jason Salinas: Cause.

388 0:11:11,600 --> 0:11:13,005 Jason Salinas: I find that I do a little CrossFit, a

389 0:11:13,045 --> 0:11:15,151 Jason Salinas: little little yoga and I find that I can

390 0:11:15,240 --> 0:11:19,608 Jason Salinas: get sore or like if I superset like for the

391 0:11:19,729 --> 0:11:22,073 Jason Salinas: somebody just listening, superset, as I

392 0:11:22,133 --> 0:11:26,271 Jason Salinas: understand it is let's say, I'll do this.

393 0:11:26,440 --> 0:11:29,262 Jason Salinas: Sometimes you do a set of bench, maybe do

394 0:11:29,322 --> 0:11:32,024 Jason Salinas: 10, 12 reps, whatever feels pretty hard for

395 0:11:32,064 --> 0:11:35,372 Jason Salinas: you, and Afterwards go down and do 20

396 0:11:35,412 --> 0:11:37,991 Jason Salinas: pushups and that way you kind of super set

397 0:11:38,011 --> 0:11:40,928 Jason Salinas: the chest a little bit and if you do that

398 0:11:41,289 --> 0:11:43,856 Jason Salinas: three or four times you can get sore.

399 0:11:44,265 --> 0:11:47,246 Jason Salinas: And I wonder, why Is that?

400 0:11:47,266 --> 0:11:48,691 Jason Salinas: Because you're already tired and you're

401 0:11:48,711 --> 0:11:49,454 Jason Salinas: already breathing hard.

402 0:11:49,605 --> 0:11:51,632 Jason Salinas: And then you just lighten it up, almost

403 0:11:51,652 --> 0:11:53,628 Jason Salinas: like a drop set, but you're still kind of

404 0:11:53,668 --> 0:11:56,491 Jason Salinas: breathing hard or your heart rate's up.

405 0:11:57,286 --> 0:11:59,072 Jason Salinas: And then you push it again for another

406 0:11:59,212 --> 0:12:02,228 Jason Salinas: whatever 45, 60 seconds Push in the muscles

407 0:12:02,268 --> 0:12:03,573 Jason Salinas: past its normal fatigue stage.

408 0:12:03,745 --> 0:12:04,608 Mark Haney: So it's that shock.

409 0:12:04,849 --> 0:12:06,154 Speaker 1: right, you think you're just done.

410 0:12:06,205 --> 0:12:07,705 Speaker 1: You just did eight to 12 reps a bench and

411 0:12:07,725 --> 0:12:08,850 Speaker 1: now you're gonna go and do your body weight

412 0:12:09,145 --> 0:12:10,852 Speaker 1: for eight to 10 pushups, just till failure.

413 0:12:11,245 --> 0:12:12,991 Speaker 1: So it's kind of that exact same concept

414 0:12:13,011 --> 0:12:13,713 Speaker 1: that you just said.

415 0:12:14,205 --> 0:12:17,188 Speaker 1: But what I like about it is I train clients

416 0:12:17,228 --> 0:12:19,435 Speaker 1: that way because two things.

417 0:12:19,565 --> 0:12:22,014 Speaker 1: One, when they come in, it allows them to

418 0:12:22,054 --> 0:12:23,690 Speaker 1: target everything as a whole, without so

419 0:12:23,751 --> 0:12:25,168 Speaker 1: much emphasis in one muscle group that

420 0:12:25,188 --> 0:12:26,573 Speaker 1: they're so sore they can't come back.

421 0:12:26,846 --> 0:12:28,286 Speaker 1: Somebody just starts with you and I go okay,

422 0:12:28,306 --> 0:12:30,126 Speaker 1: today we're doing just chest and tris and I

423 0:12:30,146 --> 0:12:31,931 Speaker 1: have to fill 45 minutes to an hour of chest

424 0:12:31,972 --> 0:12:32,313 Speaker 1: and tris.

425 0:12:32,674 --> 0:12:33,806 Speaker 1: They're not gonna be able to move, even if

426 0:12:33,846 --> 0:12:35,507 Speaker 1: I went lightweight with them, so I like to

427 0:12:35,547 --> 0:12:36,290 Speaker 1: just do a little bit.

428 0:12:36,625 --> 0:12:38,687 Speaker 1: Then there's the typical guys majority of

429 0:12:38,707 --> 0:12:39,851 Speaker 1: them that don't like to do legs.

430 0:12:40,405 --> 0:12:42,152 Speaker 1: So now you're forcing them to incorporate,

431 0:12:42,192 --> 0:12:42,393 Speaker 1: you know.

432 0:12:42,605 --> 0:12:43,328 Jason Salinas: Why is that?

433 0:12:43,509 --> 0:12:44,733 Jason Salinas: Because they want to look good.

434 0:12:44,845 --> 0:12:46,652 Speaker 1: They want to look at the big arms and all

435 0:12:46,672 --> 0:12:47,928 Speaker 1: that they generally want.

436 0:12:47,968 --> 0:12:48,951 Speaker 1: What's seen the most?

437 0:12:49,092 --> 0:12:50,789 Speaker 1: To look the biggest, so chest and arms

438 0:12:50,849 --> 0:12:51,030 Speaker 1: right.

439 0:12:51,165 --> 0:12:51,667 Speaker 1: You wear a shirt.

440 0:12:51,687 --> 0:12:52,591 Speaker 1: You look tight in your chest.

441 0:12:52,765 --> 0:12:55,213 Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know, if you want to have

442 0:12:55,293 --> 0:12:57,129 Speaker 1: your pants, look right, you gotta do some

443 0:12:57,169 --> 0:12:59,090 Speaker 1: squats right and you know that if you don't

444 0:12:59,150 --> 0:13:01,230 Speaker 1: do legs and you go to do legs it hurts

445 0:13:01,270 --> 0:13:01,732 Speaker 1: really bad.

446 0:13:02,045 --> 0:13:03,471 Speaker 1: So then that churs them from going.

447 0:13:03,545 --> 0:13:05,305 Speaker 1: I'm not doing legs for a while again, but

448 0:13:05,346 --> 0:13:07,068 Speaker 1: by doing the full body just puts a couple

449 0:13:07,108 --> 0:13:08,513 Speaker 1: sets in there and get a nice little pump.

450 0:13:08,986 --> 0:13:10,666 Speaker 1: And it's funny because for guys they go wow,

451 0:13:10,686 --> 0:13:11,930 Speaker 1: I've actually started to see some shape in

452 0:13:11,950 --> 0:13:14,785 Speaker 1: my legs and now I'm past that soreness that

453 0:13:14,805 --> 0:13:16,171 Speaker 1: I would have normally got just doing legs

454 0:13:16,191 --> 0:13:17,950 Speaker 1: in an hour, and now they're wanting to

455 0:13:17,970 --> 0:13:19,469 Speaker 1: incorporate into a regular regimen more.

456 0:13:19,590 --> 0:13:21,993 Jason Salinas: So you know, the other thing I heard from

457 0:13:22,013 --> 0:13:24,650 Jason Salinas: watching YouTube is that from a

458 0:13:24,710 --> 0:13:27,148 Jason Salinas: testosterone standpoint, if you do heavy

459 0:13:27,228 --> 0:13:31,387 Jason Salinas: legs, it can be good for guys to have it

460 0:13:31,447 --> 0:13:32,612 Jason Salinas: release testosterone.

461 0:13:32,845 --> 0:13:33,929 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's your largest mosquito.

462 0:13:33,969 --> 0:13:37,590 Jason Salinas: 100% Okay, so that's true, Okay so in terms

463 0:13:37,710 --> 0:13:39,736 Jason Salinas: of, I have my wife's.

464 0:13:40,346 --> 0:13:43,646 Jason Salinas: So this is gonna be excuse me, we'll get

465 0:13:43,666 --> 0:13:47,512 Jason Salinas: into this in a little bit but my wife is

466 0:13:47,753 --> 0:13:50,808 Jason Salinas: Jason's mom's cousin, so I think that makes

467 0:13:50,828 --> 0:13:51,812 Jason Salinas: you like a second cousin.

468 0:13:51,905 --> 0:13:54,406 Jason Salinas: So you and I I've actually known you since

469 0:13:54,466 --> 0:13:57,435 Jason Salinas: you were probably 13 or 14 years old.

470 0:13:57,545 --> 0:14:00,374 Jason Salinas: We used to kind of converge at Anastel's

471 0:14:00,414 --> 0:14:02,669 Jason Salinas: house Yep, that'd be your grandmother,

472 0:14:02,709 --> 0:14:05,285 Jason Salinas: right, your grandma's house for Easter and

473 0:14:05,305 --> 0:14:07,974 Jason Salinas: it'd be 100 plus people playing horseshoes

474 0:14:08,145 --> 0:14:09,610 Jason Salinas: and having a good time and so on.

475 0:14:10,665 --> 0:14:12,251 Jason Salinas: So I've known you, but I didn't know you

476 0:14:12,271 --> 0:14:14,872 Jason Salinas: very well and maybe I still don't as much.

477 0:14:14,985 --> 0:14:17,512 Jason Salinas: So getting to know you a little bit better,

478 0:14:18,725 --> 0:14:20,953 Jason Salinas: but I do have a question that Stacy wanted

479 0:14:21,013 --> 0:14:21,134 Jason Salinas: me.

480 0:14:21,285 --> 0:14:22,992 Jason Salinas: My wife Stacy wanted me to ask.

481 0:14:23,285 --> 0:14:26,714 Jason Salinas: She wanted to ask like because you've aged

482 0:14:26,835 --> 0:14:29,811 Jason Salinas: well, right, I think you're probably eight

483 0:14:29,852 --> 0:14:32,409 Jason Salinas: or nine years younger than her, but you

484 0:14:32,469 --> 0:14:34,435 Jason Salinas: look great and you're in great shape.

485 0:14:34,785 --> 0:14:36,853 Jason Salinas: Are there any secrets or any?

486 0:14:38,566 --> 0:14:41,446 Jason Salinas: Is there any tricks that you use that maybe

487 0:14:41,486 --> 0:14:42,409 Jason Salinas: most people wouldn't think of?

488 0:14:42,911 --> 0:14:43,473 Jason Salinas: I use them all.

489 0:14:44,829 --> 0:14:45,412 Speaker 1: I use them all.

490 0:14:45,805 --> 0:14:47,966 Speaker 1: You know people ask all the time like, how

491 0:14:47,986 --> 0:14:48,870 Speaker 1: do you stand shit?

492 0:14:50,168 --> 0:14:52,394 Speaker 1: The biggest motivator for me is this is my

493 0:14:52,434 --> 0:14:52,615 Speaker 1: job.

494 0:14:53,326 --> 0:14:54,370 Speaker 1: I literally go.

495 0:14:54,450 --> 0:14:55,233 Speaker 1: It is my job.

496 0:14:55,805 --> 0:14:56,689 Speaker 1: I've gotten to this point.

497 0:14:56,709 --> 0:14:57,552 Speaker 1: I've been successful.

498 0:14:57,785 --> 0:14:58,950 Speaker 1: You know, 20 years in the business.

499 0:14:59,825 --> 0:15:01,913 Speaker 1: But when you hire somebody and you're gonna

500 0:15:01,953 --> 0:15:03,188 Speaker 1: pay them a good amount of money to

501 0:15:03,228 --> 0:15:05,588 Speaker 1: transform your life, they better look how

502 0:15:05,628 --> 0:15:06,170 Speaker 1: you wanna look.

503 0:15:06,885 --> 0:15:08,813 Speaker 1: And so I've just always had that mentality

504 0:15:08,905 --> 0:15:10,825 Speaker 1: where it's like I can't miss working out, I

505 0:15:10,845 --> 0:15:12,783 Speaker 1: can't miss eating good 70 to 80% of the

506 0:15:12,803 --> 0:15:14,711 Speaker 1: time and I enjoy going out, eating and

507 0:15:14,731 --> 0:15:15,073 Speaker 1: doing regular.

508 0:15:15,325 --> 0:15:16,926 Speaker 1: But I've built myself up to a point where I

509 0:15:16,946 --> 0:15:18,407 Speaker 1: can get away with things that the average

510 0:15:18,447 --> 0:15:20,369 Speaker 1: person can't, because they're not where I

511 0:15:20,469 --> 0:15:20,770 Speaker 1: am now.

512 0:15:20,790 --> 0:15:21,573 Speaker 1: Does that make sense?

513 0:15:22,005 --> 0:15:23,305 Speaker 1: But that's probably the biggest thing is

514 0:15:23,345 --> 0:15:25,173 Speaker 1: just that motivation, knowing you know

515 0:15:25,225 --> 0:15:26,550 Speaker 1: people go well, I work, it's hard to get

516 0:15:26,590 --> 0:15:26,710 Speaker 1: you.

517 0:15:27,031 --> 0:15:27,674 Speaker 1: I understand all that.

518 0:15:27,825 --> 0:15:30,545 Speaker 1: In my entire life I've worked in a gym, so

519 0:15:30,565 --> 0:15:32,207 Speaker 1: there's never been an excuse can't get my

520 0:15:32,247 --> 0:15:33,572 Speaker 1: work out in it, can't get my cardio in.

521 0:15:33,705 --> 0:15:34,609 Speaker 1: I'm there all day.

522 0:15:35,025 --> 0:15:36,230 Speaker 1: So suddenly people man, I was just working

523 0:15:37,006 --> 0:15:39,673 Speaker 1: and I have to understand that their

524 0:15:39,693 --> 0:15:40,736 Speaker 1: lifestyle is not the same as mine.

525 0:15:41,065 --> 0:15:43,112 Speaker 1: I've been in the gym 20 plus years, almost

526 0:15:43,212 --> 0:15:43,633 Speaker 1: every day.

527 0:15:44,385 --> 0:15:46,753 Speaker 1: But when it comes to, you know, getting

528 0:15:46,773 --> 0:15:48,309 Speaker 1: hair transplant, when it comes to getting

529 0:15:48,349 --> 0:15:50,311 Speaker 1: Botox anytime I can get in there and work

530 0:15:50,351 --> 0:15:52,512 Speaker 1: with somebody you know being somebody in

531 0:15:52,533 --> 0:15:54,609 Speaker 1: this area a lot of companies will reach out

532 0:15:54,649 --> 0:15:55,693 Speaker 1: and say, hey, you know, I know you got a

533 0:15:55,713 --> 0:15:56,932 Speaker 1: huge following, I know you got a lot of

534 0:15:56,952 --> 0:15:58,708 Speaker 1: people to support you and I do a good job

535 0:15:58,748 --> 0:15:59,431 Speaker 1: too of hyping it up.

536 0:15:59,805 --> 0:16:01,331 Speaker 1: But get me in, you know, and say I want.

537 0:16:01,391 --> 0:16:03,992 Speaker 1: Like I kind of came to terms with the

538 0:16:04,012 --> 0:16:05,468 Speaker 1: thumbs buzz in my head, I'm shaving it down

539 0:16:05,509 --> 0:16:07,590 Speaker 1: you know, and so my friend had worked with

540 0:16:07,610 --> 0:16:09,747 Speaker 1: this local hair restoration guy in Granite

541 0:16:09,767 --> 0:16:11,888 Speaker 1: Bay, just started his practice, and so so I

542 0:16:11,908 --> 0:16:13,073 Speaker 1: like I just wanted to come meet him, you

543 0:16:13,093 --> 0:16:13,928 Speaker 1: know, and check him out.

544 0:16:14,425 --> 0:16:17,314 Speaker 1: Great guy, has been a physician in Yuba

545 0:16:17,334 --> 0:16:19,350 Speaker 1: City for years but decided hair is kind of

546 0:16:19,390 --> 0:16:20,193 Speaker 1: his passion, you know.

547 0:16:20,305 --> 0:16:21,529 Speaker 1: And so we got talking.

548 0:16:21,549 --> 0:16:23,106 Speaker 1: His office kind of looked like it was

549 0:16:23,126 --> 0:16:25,028 Speaker 1: thrown together and so I said, man, this is

550 0:16:25,229 --> 0:16:27,388 Speaker 1: this hair restoration, the bougie procedure.

551 0:16:27,428 --> 0:16:28,673 Speaker 1: You got to get this place dialed in.

552 0:16:29,025 --> 0:16:30,391 Speaker 1: You need some white couches in here, some

553 0:16:30,431 --> 0:16:31,809 Speaker 1: fur rug, I mean, you got to get it sharp,

554 0:16:31,869 --> 0:16:32,110 Speaker 1: you know.

555 0:16:32,765 --> 0:16:34,110 Speaker 1: And so just after talking with him he's

556 0:16:34,130 --> 0:16:35,869 Speaker 1: like I, you know, I really enjoyed the time

557 0:16:35,889 --> 0:16:36,190 Speaker 1: with that guy.

558 0:16:36,265 --> 0:16:37,330 Speaker 1: I want him to be the face of the company.

559 0:16:37,425 --> 0:16:38,851 Speaker 1: I want to do this hair for free, wow.

560 0:16:39,545 --> 0:16:40,750 Speaker 1: So went in there, had the hair procedure

561 0:16:40,790 --> 0:16:42,852 Speaker 1: done, and so, you know, just things like

562 0:16:42,872 --> 0:16:42,992 Speaker 1: that.

563 0:16:43,286 --> 0:16:44,531 Speaker 1: I network really well with people.

564 0:16:44,625 --> 0:16:45,428 Speaker 1: But, you know, have somebody go.

565 0:16:45,449 --> 0:16:48,291 Speaker 1: Hey, you know, would love to post a video.

566 0:16:48,311 --> 0:16:49,194 Speaker 1: You get your Botox.

567 0:16:49,214 --> 0:16:49,956 Speaker 1: I have no shame in that.

568 0:16:50,025 --> 0:16:51,330 Speaker 1: A lot of guys don't want, you know, that to

569 0:16:51,350 --> 0:16:52,066 Speaker 1: be seen For me.

570 0:16:52,306 --> 0:16:53,510 Speaker 1: If it makes me look younger and feel

571 0:16:53,530 --> 0:16:54,312 Speaker 1: younger, I'm going to do it.

572 0:16:54,393 --> 0:16:56,348 Speaker 1: So Well, you're in the business of helping

573 0:16:56,368 --> 0:16:57,886 Speaker 1: people look and feel good and we all kind

574 0:16:57,906 --> 0:16:58,971 Speaker 1: of work together, you know.

575 0:16:59,145 --> 0:17:00,691 Speaker 1: And so, yeah, there's definitely a lot of

576 0:17:00,732 --> 0:17:02,791 Speaker 1: tricks and anyone of I can find I'm doing

577 0:17:02,831 --> 0:17:02,871 Speaker 1: it.

578 0:17:02,992 --> 0:17:03,453 Speaker 1: You know what I mean.

579 0:17:03,845 --> 0:17:05,030 Jason Salinas: So when people come in.

580 0:17:05,050 --> 0:17:07,410 Jason Salinas: So a few of my buddies I know Jason works

581 0:17:07,491 --> 0:17:09,269 Jason Salinas: out over there, tori works out over there,

582 0:17:09,289 --> 0:17:10,849 Jason Salinas: a few others and I knew I knew one of the

583 0:17:10,869 --> 0:17:12,047 Jason Salinas: guys that you were working out with the day

584 0:17:12,067 --> 0:17:12,509 Jason Salinas: I was over there.

585 0:17:12,825 --> 0:17:15,194 Jason Salinas: So I probably know a few few more people

586 0:17:15,265 --> 0:17:16,529 Jason Salinas: that work out at your gym.

587 0:17:16,569 --> 0:17:19,188 Jason Salinas: But people transform, I mean when they come

588 0:17:19,428 --> 0:17:20,572 Jason Salinas: in they might be.

589 0:17:21,465 --> 0:17:23,232 Jason Salinas: I mean talk to me about that transformation.

590 0:17:23,445 --> 0:17:25,974 Jason Salinas: That's your goal or their goal typically.

591 0:17:26,085 --> 0:17:28,413 Speaker 1: So for me personally that's what I consider

592 0:17:28,433 --> 0:17:30,570 Speaker 1: myself is a transform, somebody who

593 0:17:30,610 --> 0:17:32,014 Speaker 1: specializes in transformations.

594 0:17:32,685 --> 0:17:35,685 Speaker 1: And at a very young part of my career, when

595 0:17:35,705 --> 0:17:37,586 Speaker 1: I started at 24, our fitness I had been

596 0:17:37,606 --> 0:17:38,771 Speaker 1: training, I'd been training the floors

597 0:17:38,811 --> 0:17:40,330 Speaker 1: already, I'd been working in that small gym.

598 0:17:40,865 --> 0:17:43,326 Speaker 1: I thought I knew nutrition and training and

599 0:17:43,366 --> 0:17:45,225 Speaker 1: it wasn't until I got hired on at 24, which

600 0:17:45,266 --> 0:17:48,165 Speaker 1: at the time, 1997, was very credible for

601 0:17:48,185 --> 0:17:50,173 Speaker 1: their trainers and Folsom had the best

602 0:17:50,213 --> 0:17:50,433 Speaker 1: staff.

603 0:17:50,585 --> 0:17:52,071 Speaker 1: I mean these guys, there was probably 10

604 0:17:52,111 --> 0:17:55,092 Speaker 1: trainers there, multiple degrees, national

605 0:17:55,132 --> 0:17:57,049 Speaker 1: certifications, just very knowledgeable

606 0:17:57,069 --> 0:17:57,371 Speaker 1: trainers.

607 0:17:57,505 --> 0:18:00,486 Speaker 1: But at the time when you signed up they had

608 0:18:00,506 --> 0:18:02,072 Speaker 1: the trainers and they had a nutrition tech

609 0:18:02,205 --> 0:18:03,450 Speaker 1: who worked under a licensed software

610 0:18:03,471 --> 0:18:03,691 Speaker 1: program.

611 0:18:03,865 --> 0:18:06,354 Speaker 1: And so they said when people are signing up,

612 0:18:06,465 --> 0:18:07,530 Speaker 1: they're getting conflicting information

613 0:18:07,625 --> 0:18:08,810 Speaker 1: with two different people or they're

614 0:18:08,830 --> 0:18:10,087 Speaker 1: getting one service but not the other.

615 0:18:10,107 --> 0:18:11,211 Speaker 1: They're not really getting results.

616 0:18:11,985 --> 0:18:14,413 Speaker 1: And working for 24 or in a big corporate

617 0:18:14,433 --> 0:18:15,788 Speaker 1: gym like that, it's not really about the

618 0:18:15,828 --> 0:18:16,772 Speaker 1: results, about sales.

619 0:18:17,245 --> 0:18:18,591 Speaker 1: How much personal training can you sell?

620 0:18:19,006 --> 0:18:19,990 Speaker 1: And so they're constantly on you.

621 0:18:20,010 --> 0:18:21,287 Speaker 1: You're a hero one month if you have a big

622 0:18:21,327 --> 0:18:23,368 Speaker 1: month and a zero next month, like any sales

623 0:18:23,388 --> 0:18:25,845 Speaker 1: position, and so they're constantly the

624 0:18:25,886 --> 0:18:27,987 Speaker 1: highs and the lows of the sales, not really

625 0:18:28,007 --> 0:18:28,871 Speaker 1: worried about the results.

626 0:18:29,225 --> 0:18:31,072 Speaker 1: But one thing that was very fortunate for

627 0:18:31,112 --> 0:18:32,846 Speaker 1: me is when I came in, they go, we're gonna

628 0:18:32,886 --> 0:18:34,305 Speaker 1: do away with these nutrition techs and

629 0:18:34,325 --> 0:18:35,525 Speaker 1: we're gonna send the trainers to school and

630 0:18:35,545 --> 0:18:37,486 Speaker 1: teach them the same software program and

631 0:18:37,546 --> 0:18:38,871 Speaker 1: make them become the nutrition tech.

632 0:18:39,266 --> 0:18:41,032 Speaker 1: And once that happened for me, the light

633 0:18:41,052 --> 0:18:42,650 Speaker 1: came on and I was like man, I've been doing

634 0:18:42,670 --> 0:18:43,132 Speaker 1: this all wrong.

635 0:18:43,185 --> 0:18:45,233 Speaker 1: What I thought was healthy wasn't healthy.

636 0:18:45,285 --> 0:18:46,626 Speaker 1: I thought carrot cake was healthy because

637 0:18:46,646 --> 0:18:47,208 Speaker 1: they had carrots in it.

638 0:18:47,489 --> 0:18:49,108 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just kidding, but that's kind

639 0:18:49,128 --> 0:18:50,252 Speaker 1: of the knowledge that some people have.

640 0:18:51,046 --> 0:18:53,755 Speaker 1: And I thought chicken breast that was cut

641 0:18:53,795 --> 0:18:55,450 Speaker 1: up in a package in the deli section I could

642 0:18:55,490 --> 0:18:55,831 Speaker 1: have that.

643 0:18:56,172 --> 0:18:57,015 Speaker 1: Well, no, it's processed.

644 0:18:57,105 --> 0:18:59,087 Speaker 1: There's ton of sodium in there, additives,

645 0:18:59,107 --> 0:18:59,630 Speaker 1: preservatives.

646 0:18:59,725 --> 0:19:01,651 Speaker 1: It's not the same as you cook on your own

647 0:19:01,712 --> 0:19:02,655 Speaker 1: and know exactly what's in it.

648 0:19:02,725 --> 0:19:05,666 Speaker 1: So I remember I said I took this lady she

649 0:19:05,706 --> 0:19:07,072 Speaker 1: was, we're still friends today.

650 0:19:07,145 --> 0:19:10,495 Speaker 1: She was a five, two, 240 pounds over 40%

651 0:19:10,555 --> 0:19:10,896 Speaker 1: body fat.

652 0:19:10,945 --> 0:19:12,371 Speaker 1: That's as big as the calipers, the pincers

653 0:19:12,425 --> 0:19:13,710 Speaker 1: that we would use we get.

654 0:19:14,165 --> 0:19:15,947 Speaker 1: I trained her for four years but about two

655 0:19:15,987 --> 0:19:17,365 Speaker 1: years she started making some noise but

656 0:19:17,385 --> 0:19:20,574 Speaker 1: over the four years she got down to 117

657 0:19:20,735 --> 0:19:21,036 Speaker 1: pounds.

658 0:19:21,305 --> 0:19:23,647 Speaker 1: Okay, for five two that's about right 15%

659 0:19:23,667 --> 0:19:25,426 Speaker 1: body fat Nice, no surgery.

660 0:19:25,446 --> 0:19:27,372 Speaker 1: Her skin was as tight as a 20 year old Wow,

661 0:19:27,945 --> 0:19:29,051 Speaker 1: and it was just teaching her to eat a whole

662 0:19:29,132 --> 0:19:29,393 Speaker 1: food.

663 0:19:29,525 --> 0:19:31,287 Speaker 1: We started slow, built up but, like I said,

664 0:19:31,307 --> 0:19:32,987 Speaker 1: two years in they're like people were

665 0:19:33,127 --> 0:19:33,609 Speaker 1: calling going.

666 0:19:33,649 --> 0:19:35,189 Speaker 1: You're amazing, you're inspiring, you

667 0:19:35,209 --> 0:19:35,891 Speaker 1: should be a trainer.

668 0:19:36,205 --> 0:19:37,230 Speaker 1: They posted her picture up.

669 0:19:37,466 --> 0:19:38,350 Speaker 1: That's life changing.

670 0:19:38,465 --> 0:19:40,030 Speaker 1: And all the 24 hours and my little picture

671 0:19:40,050 --> 0:19:40,571 Speaker 1: was on the corner.

672 0:19:41,213 --> 0:19:42,185 Speaker 1: Next thing, you know, people are like I

673 0:19:42,205 --> 0:19:42,848 Speaker 1: want to train with him.

674 0:19:43,310 --> 0:19:43,852 Speaker 1: I want to train with him.

675 0:19:44,185 --> 0:19:45,290 Speaker 1: And he was like, oh, this is the ticket.

676 0:19:45,645 --> 0:19:46,951 Speaker 1: If I can transform people, I don't got to

677 0:19:46,971 --> 0:19:47,332 Speaker 1: sell anything.

678 0:19:47,425 --> 0:19:48,189 Speaker 1: They're going to come to me.

679 0:19:48,785 --> 0:19:50,752 Speaker 1: And so I took that mindset and just really

680 0:19:50,792 --> 0:19:52,971 Speaker 1: kind of ran with it, put a program together

681 0:19:53,385 --> 0:19:55,513 Speaker 1: and at that time, do you remember Bill

682 0:19:55,553 --> 0:19:56,487 Speaker 1: Phillips, body for Life.

683 0:19:57,390 --> 0:19:57,731 Jason Salinas: I don't.

684 0:19:57,751 --> 0:20:00,550 Speaker 1: It was a transformation contest, probably

685 0:20:00,570 --> 0:20:02,366 Speaker 1: in the late 90s, early 2000s he wrote a

686 0:20:02,406 --> 0:20:03,230 Speaker 1: book Eating for Life.

687 0:20:03,925 --> 0:20:05,370 Speaker 1: He had the supplement company EAS.

688 0:20:05,591 --> 0:20:05,832 Jason Salinas: Okay.

689 0:20:06,485 --> 0:20:06,565 Speaker 1: Yeah.

690 0:20:06,585 --> 0:20:08,933 Speaker 1: So he based it all around a 12 week

691 0:20:08,953 --> 0:20:09,515 Speaker 1: transformation.

692 0:20:09,625 --> 0:20:10,910 Speaker 1: So a lot of the same principles I kind of

693 0:20:10,930 --> 0:20:11,292 Speaker 1: copied.

694 0:20:11,785 --> 0:20:13,030 Speaker 1: Some of his stuff was a little bit extreme

695 0:20:13,070 --> 0:20:14,569 Speaker 1: for beginners, but I took kind of the same

696 0:20:14,609 --> 0:20:14,970 Speaker 1: principle.

697 0:20:15,345 --> 0:20:16,851 Speaker 1: You know, six days on, start them out with

698 0:20:16,951 --> 0:20:18,208 Speaker 1: one free day, start them out with basically

699 0:20:18,228 --> 0:20:19,568 Speaker 1: a breakfast, lunch and a dinner, a couple

700 0:20:19,588 --> 0:20:21,268 Speaker 1: of snacks in there, and then gradually

701 0:20:21,309 --> 0:20:22,947 Speaker 1: build up the progressions of their workouts

702 0:20:23,047 --> 0:20:25,946 Speaker 1: and then meet with them once a week not

703 0:20:26,046 --> 0:20:27,486 Speaker 1: once a month or once a between us, but once

704 0:20:27,506 --> 0:20:29,192 Speaker 1: a week to check in and see how their stats

705 0:20:29,212 --> 0:20:30,369 Speaker 1: are going so the coaching can come in.

706 0:20:30,945 --> 0:20:32,490 Speaker 1: So I took that model and was very

707 0:20:32,530 --> 0:20:33,192 Speaker 1: successful with it.

708 0:20:33,212 --> 0:20:34,527 Speaker 1: Next thing, you know, I started doing these

709 0:20:34,547 --> 0:20:36,507 Speaker 1: 90 day transformations when I went to

710 0:20:36,567 --> 0:20:38,666 Speaker 1: manage the Roseville 24, and they said you

711 0:20:38,707 --> 0:20:39,731 Speaker 1: can't train clients anymore.

712 0:20:40,285 --> 0:20:41,470 Speaker 1: That's when I said, okay, I got to teach

713 0:20:41,490 --> 0:20:43,010 Speaker 1: these guys to do exactly what I'm doing.

714 0:20:43,225 --> 0:20:44,390 Speaker 1: And I said if you don't want people to come

715 0:20:44,410 --> 0:20:46,131 Speaker 1: in and train with me, you got to get your

716 0:20:46,172 --> 0:20:47,550 Speaker 1: clients before and after pictures of person

717 0:20:47,585 --> 0:20:48,369 Speaker 1: that go who trained that person.

718 0:20:48,865 --> 0:20:49,689 Speaker 1: That's who I want to train with.

719 0:20:50,225 --> 0:20:51,290 Speaker 1: Next thing, you know, you'd walk in that

720 0:20:51,330 --> 0:20:53,171 Speaker 1: gym and we had a wall of before and afters.

721 0:20:53,565 --> 0:20:55,708 Speaker 1: That were all the trainers, and so we were

722 0:20:55,728 --> 0:20:58,134 Speaker 1: the first gym to do 100,000 personal

723 0:20:58,155 --> 0:20:58,656 Speaker 1: training revenue.

724 0:20:59,969 --> 0:21:00,932 Speaker 1: So yeah, that was 2000.

725 0:21:01,413 --> 0:21:05,972 Jason Salinas: Yeah, so your office is in Roseville and

726 0:21:06,113 --> 0:21:09,951 Jason Salinas: it's 20 years and you and I were talking at

727 0:21:09,971 --> 0:21:11,134 Jason Salinas: the end of the workout.

728 0:21:12,225 --> 0:21:16,035 Jason Salinas: It hasn't necessarily all been wine and

729 0:21:16,095 --> 0:21:16,597 Jason Salinas: roses.

730 0:21:16,705 --> 0:21:18,471 Jason Salinas: It hasn't been like straight up hill and to

731 0:21:18,491 --> 0:21:19,154 Jason Salinas: the right right.

732 0:21:19,426 --> 0:21:20,410 Jason Salinas: You've had your ups and downs.

733 0:21:20,845 --> 0:21:23,111 Jason Salinas: Maybe you share with us a big win story

734 0:21:23,151 --> 0:21:24,134 Jason Salinas: that came after.

735 0:21:25,306 --> 0:21:26,591 Jason Salinas: That required some of that perseverance

736 0:21:26,705 --> 0:21:27,648 Jason Salinas: that we talked about at the beginning of

737 0:21:27,669 --> 0:21:28,251 Jason Salinas: the show.

738 0:21:28,492 --> 0:21:31,333 Speaker 1: Yeah Well, you know what happened with 24

739 0:21:31,373 --> 0:21:32,549 Speaker 1: hours, some people, what made you leave

740 0:21:32,569 --> 0:21:33,372 Speaker 1: there if it was so good?

741 0:21:33,845 --> 0:21:36,434 Speaker 1: I rode that ride for probably three or four

742 0:21:36,474 --> 0:21:38,291 Speaker 1: years, got up to where I think my third or

743 0:21:38,331 --> 0:21:40,350 Speaker 1: fourth year is about 87,000, and once again

744 0:21:40,390 --> 0:21:40,952 Speaker 1: at 22,.

745 0:21:41,333 --> 0:21:41,815 Speaker 1: That's a lot.

746 0:21:41,965 --> 0:21:43,472 Speaker 1: So then there had always been a position

747 0:21:43,565 --> 0:21:45,206 Speaker 1: called area director of fitness, where now

748 0:21:45,246 --> 0:21:46,872 Speaker 1: you go around train the managers and

749 0:21:46,892 --> 0:21:47,474 Speaker 1: trainers in the area.

750 0:21:47,665 --> 0:21:48,388 Speaker 1: So I kept shooting for that.

751 0:21:49,005 --> 0:21:49,909 Speaker 1: Bring this position back.

752 0:21:50,365 --> 0:21:52,107 Speaker 1: I started hosting meetings once a month,

753 0:21:52,345 --> 0:21:53,689 Speaker 1: bringing the local gyms to my gym.

754 0:21:54,110 --> 0:21:55,771 Speaker 1: We'd have a motivational speaker in, we'd

755 0:21:55,791 --> 0:21:57,531 Speaker 1: give out awards, not just for sales but for

756 0:21:57,571 --> 0:21:59,257 Speaker 1: who've gotten results, t-shirts, get

757 0:21:59,277 --> 0:21:59,819 Speaker 1: everybody fired up.

758 0:22:00,050 --> 0:22:01,398 Speaker 1: And I was basically creating that, just

759 0:22:01,418 --> 0:22:01,921 Speaker 1: without the pay.

760 0:22:02,484 --> 0:22:03,430 Speaker 1: And this one manager kept going.

761 0:22:03,450 --> 0:22:04,414 Speaker 1: Well, we need to see what you can do at

762 0:22:04,434 --> 0:22:04,936 Speaker 1: another club.

763 0:22:05,070 --> 0:22:06,710 Speaker 1: I said I basically started this one with

764 0:22:06,731 --> 0:22:07,936 Speaker 1: all the systems from Ground Up.

765 0:22:08,010 --> 0:22:08,693 Speaker 1: It's the number one club.

766 0:22:09,230 --> 0:22:10,475 Speaker 1: Anywhere I go, I'm gonna take a pick up.

767 0:22:10,495 --> 0:22:11,077 Speaker 1: Why would I do that?

768 0:22:11,350 --> 0:22:13,457 Speaker 1: So after just kind of going through riding

769 0:22:13,477 --> 0:22:15,153 Speaker 1: the motions, I show up one day and they go.

770 0:22:15,173 --> 0:22:17,492 Speaker 1: You're going to downtown and I'm like

771 0:22:17,532 --> 0:22:19,379 Speaker 1: downtown already I'm taking a pick up.

772 0:22:19,430 --> 0:22:20,432 Speaker 1: They're doing less revenue than us.

773 0:22:20,953 --> 0:22:21,715 Speaker 1: I have to go down there.

774 0:22:21,735 --> 0:22:22,717 Speaker 1: I just said you know what?

775 0:22:22,737 --> 0:22:23,840 Speaker 1: Put your head down and go to work, show

776 0:22:23,860 --> 0:22:24,361 Speaker 1: them what you can do.

777 0:22:24,441 --> 0:22:25,183 Speaker 1: So I go downtown.

778 0:22:25,410 --> 0:22:26,394 Speaker 1: I'm commuting from Lincoln every day.

779 0:22:26,434 --> 0:22:28,691 Speaker 1: Now I have to fire the entire staff because

780 0:22:28,711 --> 0:22:29,618 Speaker 1: they're all training under the table.

781 0:22:30,170 --> 0:22:32,390 Speaker 1: Rebuilt the staff up, double the revenue in

782 0:22:32,491 --> 0:22:33,731 Speaker 1: one year from what they were doing and they

783 0:22:33,751 --> 0:22:33,851 Speaker 1: go.

784 0:22:34,293 --> 0:22:34,835 Speaker 1: They just did a.

785 0:22:35,410 --> 0:22:38,078 Speaker 1: They're doing a compensation cut to all the

786 0:22:38,138 --> 0:22:38,519 Speaker 1: management.

787 0:22:39,050 --> 0:22:40,476 Speaker 1: So I said I want to go back to Roseville.

788 0:22:41,010 --> 0:22:42,497 Speaker 1: So they said, nope, you can't.

789 0:22:42,650 --> 0:22:43,755 Speaker 1: Only way you can go back to Roseville is

790 0:22:44,070 --> 0:22:45,455 Speaker 1: you step down and become a trainer again.

791 0:22:46,310 --> 0:22:47,635 Speaker 1: So talk about Slaw and your pride.

792 0:22:48,257 --> 0:22:48,939 Speaker 1: I said that's what I'll do.

793 0:22:49,190 --> 0:22:51,178 Speaker 1: So I literally had to go back to the gym

794 0:22:51,230 --> 0:22:52,896 Speaker 1: that I created, with all the staff that I

795 0:22:52,936 --> 0:22:53,156 Speaker 1: built.

796 0:22:53,196 --> 0:22:54,511 Speaker 1: That made the number one gym, and now I'm

797 0:22:54,531 --> 0:22:55,616 Speaker 1: just an average trainer amongst the

798 0:22:55,656 --> 0:22:57,335 Speaker 1: trainers that I hired, with some guy

799 0:22:57,376 --> 0:22:58,975 Speaker 1: managing me that doesn't know anything.

800 0:22:59,250 --> 0:23:01,958 Speaker 1: So I just went, just buckled down, built my

801 0:23:01,998 --> 0:23:03,854 Speaker 1: clientele, slowly started working them out

802 0:23:03,875 --> 0:23:05,735 Speaker 1: of there, and it took me about probably

803 0:23:05,795 --> 0:23:07,695 Speaker 1: eight months till I got a full load out of

804 0:23:07,715 --> 0:23:10,097 Speaker 1: there and a trainer who once trained for me

805 0:23:10,230 --> 0:23:11,736 Speaker 1: had opened his own little gym, tiny little

806 0:23:11,756 --> 0:23:13,034 Speaker 1: spot, maybe 1,000 square foot.

807 0:23:13,470 --> 0:23:14,935 Speaker 1: I said, hey, can I come and train at your

808 0:23:14,955 --> 0:23:15,096 Speaker 1: gym?

809 0:23:15,116 --> 0:23:16,632 Speaker 1: He says, all right, I didn't really know

810 0:23:16,652 --> 0:23:18,074 Speaker 1: what to pay, so I was paying him 10 bucks a

811 0:23:18,114 --> 0:23:18,395 Speaker 1: session.

812 0:23:18,530 --> 0:23:20,598 Speaker 1: So I had almost 40 hours a week.

813 0:23:20,750 --> 0:23:22,898 Speaker 1: I was paying him almost $1,600 a month rent.

814 0:23:23,030 --> 0:23:24,496 Speaker 1: I mean, that's pretty crazy, even back then

815 0:23:24,590 --> 0:23:25,795 Speaker 1: to think now what I would charge somebody.

816 0:23:26,350 --> 0:23:27,394 Speaker 1: So I was probably paying him more than he

817 0:23:27,434 --> 0:23:28,097 Speaker 1: was making training.

818 0:23:28,550 --> 0:23:30,811 Speaker 1: So I did that for about a year and in the

819 0:23:30,851 --> 0:23:33,579 Speaker 1: meantime, before I went to downtown, I

820 0:23:33,599 --> 0:23:34,161 Speaker 1: purchased a home.

821 0:23:34,350 --> 0:23:35,816 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna refinance, I'm open my own gym,

822 0:23:36,050 --> 0:23:36,954 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna do it.

823 0:23:37,671 --> 0:23:40,099 Speaker 1: And so, reconnected with a buddy of mine,

824 0:23:40,451 --> 0:23:41,796 Speaker 1: and so we had opened SMB Elite.

825 0:23:41,910 --> 0:23:45,019 Speaker 1: This is Konami's Boomin 2003, 2004.

826 0:23:45,790 --> 0:23:47,591 Speaker 1: And I mean it's funny to think we just kind

827 0:23:47,611 --> 0:23:49,798 Speaker 1: of just jumped in and had no fear, jumped

828 0:23:49,818 --> 0:23:51,716 Speaker 1: right in and within first three, four

829 0:23:51,756 --> 0:23:54,544 Speaker 1: months we were doing more than 24,000,

830 0:23:54,630 --> 0:23:55,514 Speaker 1: 40,000 square foot.

831 0:23:55,554 --> 0:23:57,895 Speaker 1: Roseville was doing out of a 2,600 square

832 0:23:57,915 --> 0:23:59,179 Speaker 1: foot office facility in Rockland.

833 0:23:59,850 --> 0:24:00,955 Speaker 1: We had about 10 of our trainers that

834 0:24:00,995 --> 0:24:02,494 Speaker 1: followed over and we're just killing it

835 0:24:03,930 --> 0:24:06,553 Speaker 1: Really over, expanded, probably did some

836 0:24:06,593 --> 0:24:07,717 Speaker 1: things that we probably shouldn't have done,

837 0:24:08,570 --> 0:24:09,774 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden used to start to

838 0:24:09,814 --> 0:24:12,515 Speaker 1: see the change in the economy and so we

839 0:24:12,535 --> 0:24:13,592 Speaker 1: start to look and go man, we're just

840 0:24:13,632 --> 0:24:14,636 Speaker 1: feeding these clients, but they're not

841 0:24:14,656 --> 0:24:15,552 Speaker 1: retaining them, they're not bringing

842 0:24:15,572 --> 0:24:16,174 Speaker 1: anybody new in.

843 0:24:16,535 --> 0:24:18,494 Speaker 1: And so it's kind of like, hey, we're gonna

844 0:24:18,514 --> 0:24:19,678 Speaker 1: take them to start training them on ourself

845 0:24:19,698 --> 0:24:20,873 Speaker 1: again, cause we got to where we were hardly

846 0:24:20,893 --> 0:24:21,275 Speaker 1: even training.

847 0:24:22,010 --> 0:24:25,499 Speaker 1: And so some, some things happened with my

848 0:24:25,539 --> 0:24:27,022 Speaker 1: partner and I it wasn't necessarily with me,

849 0:24:27,110 --> 0:24:29,056 Speaker 1: it was who, he who had financially backed

850 0:24:29,096 --> 0:24:29,236 Speaker 1: him.

851 0:24:29,818 --> 0:24:30,891 Speaker 1: They were like hey, you know where's our

852 0:24:30,911 --> 0:24:33,415 Speaker 1: investment on our loan, and so he decided

853 0:24:33,435 --> 0:24:33,736 Speaker 1: to leave.

854 0:24:34,290 --> 0:24:37,119 Speaker 1: Smb was kind of taking this toll and

855 0:24:37,259 --> 0:24:38,633 Speaker 1: downward spiral and I was like man, what am

856 0:24:38,673 --> 0:24:39,015 Speaker 1: I gonna do?

857 0:24:39,090 --> 0:24:40,535 Speaker 1: I still got a handful of trainers here that

858 0:24:40,776 --> 0:24:42,795 Speaker 1: I'm gonna feed, but are we gonna be able to

859 0:24:42,815 --> 0:24:43,136 Speaker 1: stay here?

860 0:24:43,290 --> 0:24:45,458 Speaker 1: Our rent was 16,000 a month in Rockland

861 0:24:45,478 --> 0:24:47,375 Speaker 1: during that time for 2,600 square feet.

862 0:24:48,070 --> 0:24:48,432 Speaker 1: All right we had.

863 0:24:48,472 --> 0:24:50,151 Speaker 1: We had some shady stuff done on our, on our

864 0:24:50,211 --> 0:24:51,275 Speaker 1: lease that our landlord wasn't.

865 0:24:51,455 --> 0:24:53,313 Speaker 1: We were unwilling to fix and so I was like

866 0:24:53,333 --> 0:24:54,372 Speaker 1: we're not gonna pay anymore, we'll have to

867 0:24:54,412 --> 0:24:54,796 Speaker 1: go somewhere else.

868 0:24:55,550 --> 0:24:57,757 Speaker 1: So I had a good friend and client.

869 0:24:57,958 --> 0:24:58,820 Speaker 1: I'll never forget this.

870 0:24:58,970 --> 0:25:01,538 Speaker 1: This was a turning point for me and I'm so

871 0:25:01,618 --> 0:25:02,140 Speaker 1: grateful for them.

872 0:25:02,230 --> 0:25:04,450 Speaker 1: But I can remember them saying hey, we'll

873 0:25:04,471 --> 0:25:05,335 Speaker 1: help get a building for you.

874 0:25:05,590 --> 0:25:06,446 Speaker 1: You know, we know you're not gonna be able

875 0:25:06,466 --> 0:25:06,609 Speaker 1: to hear.

876 0:25:06,670 --> 0:25:07,172 Speaker 1: Let's look around.

877 0:25:08,270 --> 0:25:10,035 Speaker 1: So we started looking around and we find

878 0:25:10,075 --> 0:25:11,178 Speaker 1: something over by Rockland High School.

879 0:25:11,198 --> 0:25:12,101 Speaker 1: It's a thousand square foot.

880 0:25:12,190 --> 0:25:14,338 Speaker 1: I'm as excited as I could be looking back.

881 0:25:14,470 --> 0:25:15,655 Speaker 1: I'd have never fit in a thousand square

882 0:25:15,695 --> 0:25:17,952 Speaker 1: foot but I was excited Him and I go to

883 0:25:18,334 --> 0:25:20,353 Speaker 1: lunch afterwards and literally I got a week

884 0:25:20,373 --> 0:25:22,452 Speaker 1: and a half from us to be out of the gym and

885 0:25:22,472 --> 0:25:24,348 Speaker 1: we go into this it's like a Chinese

886 0:25:24,388 --> 0:25:25,775 Speaker 1: restaurant or something and we get done

887 0:25:25,815 --> 0:25:25,996 Speaker 1: eating.

888 0:25:26,271 --> 0:25:27,897 Speaker 1: I'm all excited and I get a fortune cookie.

889 0:25:28,513 --> 0:25:29,907 Speaker 1: And the fortune cookie says don't do what

890 0:25:29,927 --> 0:25:30,793 Speaker 1: you can't do on your own.

891 0:25:31,830 --> 0:25:33,831 Speaker 1: And I look up at this guy and I'm like they

892 0:25:33,851 --> 0:25:35,832 Speaker 1: can't help me, they can't help me, I can't

893 0:25:35,852 --> 0:25:36,758 Speaker 1: have them help me.

894 0:25:36,778 --> 0:25:38,309 Speaker 1: It was a Friday, so I don't say anything to

895 0:25:38,330 --> 0:25:38,390 Speaker 1: him.

896 0:25:38,510 --> 0:25:40,216 Speaker 1: So I go back to the gym, get on.

897 0:25:41,370 --> 0:25:43,799 Speaker 1: But was it at not marketplace, but freaking?

898 0:25:45,211 --> 0:25:46,420 Speaker 1: What's the thing where we used to look for

899 0:25:46,843 --> 0:25:47,790 Speaker 1: deals online?

900 0:25:48,293 --> 0:25:49,480 Mark Haney: in real estate.

901 0:25:49,500 --> 0:25:49,862 Speaker 1: Craigslist.

907 0:25:58,670 --> 0:25:59,775 Speaker 1: I go over there, right there, peeking the

908 0:25:59,835 --> 0:26:01,451 Speaker 1: window, and it's a bunch of cubbies it must

909 0:26:01,471 --> 0:26:02,792 Speaker 1: have been a mortgage office and they just

910 0:26:03,033 --> 0:26:04,051 Speaker 1: it was like boiler room, they just

911 0:26:04,071 --> 0:26:04,694 Speaker 1: scattered out of there.

912 0:26:04,990 --> 0:26:06,496 Speaker 1: But I could just see the vision of that box.

913 0:26:07,030 --> 0:26:07,975 Speaker 1: So I call, I said hey, I'll take.

914 0:26:08,030 --> 0:26:09,115 Speaker 1: They're like well, the owner is not in

915 0:26:09,135 --> 0:26:09,657 Speaker 1: until Tuesday.

916 0:26:09,750 --> 0:26:10,894 Speaker 1: I gotta be out of my place at Wednesday.

917 0:26:11,476 --> 0:26:12,118 Speaker 1: I'll be there Tuesday.

918 0:26:12,410 --> 0:26:13,951 Speaker 1: So I show up and he's just real lacks of

919 0:26:13,972 --> 0:26:14,112 Speaker 1: days.

920 0:26:14,172 --> 0:26:14,916 Speaker 1: It will take me through.

921 0:26:14,990 --> 0:26:16,135 Speaker 1: I said I want this place.

922 0:26:16,230 --> 0:26:17,313 Speaker 1: I'm like how fast can you get these cubbies

923 0:26:17,333 --> 0:26:17,634 Speaker 1: out of here?

924 0:26:17,714 --> 0:26:18,336 Speaker 1: Here's the cash.

925 0:26:20,550 --> 0:26:21,768 Speaker 1: So I literally a couple buddies who moved

926 0:26:21,789 --> 0:26:22,780 Speaker 1: over, and so that was because I thought

927 0:26:22,800 --> 0:26:24,660 Speaker 1: literally I was going to lose everything at

928 0:26:24,681 --> 0:26:27,085 Speaker 1: that point in time, from having this high

929 0:26:27,105 --> 0:26:28,413 Speaker 1: to a low and we get in there and then it's

930 0:26:28,433 --> 0:26:29,235 Speaker 1: just grinding it out.

931 0:26:31,051 --> 0:26:32,681 Speaker 1: By that point now I'm starting to go

932 0:26:32,721 --> 0:26:35,067 Speaker 1: through this divorce, but I at least got my

933 0:26:35,087 --> 0:26:36,193 Speaker 1: own place and so just the momentum kind of

934 0:26:36,213 --> 0:26:38,953 Speaker 1: slowly started building up, energy started

935 0:26:38,973 --> 0:26:41,209 Speaker 1: changing, things kind of got bigger and

936 0:26:41,229 --> 0:26:42,815 Speaker 1: bigger and my model kind of changed with

937 0:26:42,835 --> 0:26:43,075 Speaker 1: time.

938 0:26:44,610 --> 0:26:46,436 Speaker 1: I opened up my self as part of my spiritual

939 0:26:46,456 --> 0:26:48,254 Speaker 1: career, cause it had to be about acting.

940 0:26:49,594 --> 0:26:50,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I wasしま packed with that grown-ups.

941 0:26:52,137 --> 0:26:53,449 Speaker 1: So far I have gotten more than one to 10.

942 0:26:53,469 --> 0:26:55,456 Speaker 1: Bandar McKinney she was really in for that

943 0:26:55,476 --> 0:26:58,923 Speaker 1: role and this is a place where I worked on

944 0:26:58,943 --> 0:26:59,993 Speaker 1: my own cycle and I worked on my own много파

945 0:27:00,013 --> 0:27:00,414 Speaker 1: and for Revolution.

946 0:27:00,434 --> 0:27:03,076 Speaker 1: It was also my skills I started out.

947 0:27:04,091 --> 0:27:06,230 Speaker 1: My goal when I was 18 were about 10 to 22.

948 0:27:06,310 --> 0:27:08,061 Speaker 1: And that was when I got started with that

949 0:27:08,081 --> 0:27:08,806 Speaker 1: one account, because I got hired at

950 0:27:08,826 --> 0:27:11,576 Speaker 1: circuits and I was like I hope I money in

951 0:27:11,596 --> 0:27:12,660 Speaker 1: doing this business.

952 0:27:12,830 --> 0:27:14,316 Speaker 1: I was able to double my clientele and

953 0:27:14,336 --> 0:27:15,774 Speaker 1: double my income by putting people together,

954 0:27:16,250 --> 0:27:17,735 Speaker 1: keeping the session rate down a little bit

955 0:27:17,776 --> 0:27:17,956 Speaker 1: lower.

956 0:27:18,770 --> 0:27:20,411 Speaker 1: And so then I said you know what I always

957 0:27:20,431 --> 0:27:22,650 Speaker 1: had a vision of taking my small gym and

958 0:27:22,670 --> 0:27:25,131 Speaker 1: making it a private 24 access gym where now

959 0:27:25,171 --> 0:27:26,772 Speaker 1: people can come in, you know, have a super

960 0:27:26,792 --> 0:27:27,294 Speaker 1: clean gym.

961 0:27:28,010 --> 0:27:29,295 Speaker 1: If they're not training with me, they'll

962 0:27:29,315 --> 0:27:30,533 Speaker 1: see what's going on and maybe they'll want

963 0:27:30,553 --> 0:27:30,894 Speaker 1: to train.

964 0:27:31,130 --> 0:27:32,590 Speaker 1: If they've trained with me long enough and

965 0:27:32,610 --> 0:27:33,795 Speaker 1: they're like man, I can't do this anymore.

966 0:27:34,150 --> 0:27:35,536 Speaker 1: But I don't want to leave this environment.

967 0:27:35,590 --> 0:27:37,236 Speaker 1: It's really, you know, a family-like

968 0:27:37,276 --> 0:27:37,678 Speaker 1: environment.

969 0:27:37,950 --> 0:27:39,095 Speaker 1: They can switch over to the membership and

970 0:27:39,155 --> 0:27:41,054 Speaker 1: still be there and still feel like they've

971 0:27:41,074 --> 0:27:41,737 Speaker 1: got that connection.

972 0:27:42,050 --> 0:27:43,315 Jason Salinas: Well, I have been over there.

973 0:27:43,375 --> 0:27:43,878 Jason Salinas: Super nice.

974 0:27:43,950 --> 0:27:45,697 Jason Salinas: It's over in Roseville, kind of not too far

975 0:27:46,191 --> 0:27:48,319 Jason Salinas: from where I had my paper route as a kid,

976 0:27:48,510 --> 0:27:52,537 Jason Salinas: in fact right there, and it's a really nice

977 0:27:52,717 --> 0:27:53,119 Jason Salinas: gym.

978 0:27:53,430 --> 0:27:53,873 Jason Salinas: What is it about?

979 0:27:53,913 --> 0:27:56,428 Jason Salinas: 4,000 square feet, 3600 square feet, 3600

980 0:27:56,448 --> 0:27:58,617 Jason Salinas: square feet, and it's right there near the

981 0:27:58,637 --> 0:27:58,898 Jason Salinas: freeway.

982 0:27:59,010 --> 0:28:00,114 Jason Salinas: So, no matter where you're coming from,

983 0:28:00,154 --> 0:28:01,078 Jason Salinas: it's pretty easy to get there.

984 0:28:01,270 --> 0:28:03,258 Jason Salinas: It's I guess it'd be the Riverside exit,

985 0:28:04,570 --> 0:28:06,336 Jason Salinas: off Melody Lane or on Melody Lane.

986 0:28:07,190 --> 0:28:10,652 Jason Salinas: I'm going to switch gears a little bit and

987 0:28:11,495 --> 0:28:12,378 Jason Salinas: talk a little bit.

988 0:28:12,650 --> 0:28:15,059 Jason Salinas: I want to maybe go a little bit deeper here.

989 0:28:15,852 --> 0:28:18,539 Jason Salinas: As I mentioned earlier, I've known you for

990 0:28:18,600 --> 0:28:19,141 Jason Salinas: a long time.

991 0:28:19,250 --> 0:28:22,960 Jason Salinas: I never really knew your story.

992 0:28:24,390 --> 0:28:25,636 Jason Salinas: I'm one of these you know.

993 0:28:25,730 --> 0:28:28,217 Jason Salinas: So I married into your family.

994 0:28:28,297 --> 0:28:29,601 Jason Salinas: Basically is what happened.

995 0:28:29,710 --> 0:28:34,353 Jason Salinas: And so your mom, let's see, yeah, your mom

996 0:28:34,433 --> 0:28:37,315 Jason Salinas: is my, your grandma is my mother-in-law's

997 0:28:37,435 --> 0:28:38,238 Jason Salinas: sister, right?

998 0:28:38,330 --> 0:28:40,518 Jason Salinas: So I knew you, but I didn't know you.

999 0:28:40,950 --> 0:28:44,078 Jason Salinas: But I knew that there had been maybe some

1000 0:28:44,178 --> 0:28:48,678 Jason Salinas: trouble in your family or with you

1001 0:28:48,758 --> 0:28:50,954 Jason Salinas: potentially, but I never really knew it.

1002 0:28:50,994 --> 0:28:51,918 Jason Salinas: I asked my wife, stacey.

1003 0:28:52,050 --> 0:28:53,717 Jason Salinas: She didn't seem to know that the story.

1004 0:28:53,870 --> 0:28:57,171 Jason Salinas: And recently you had sent me a video that

1005 0:28:57,231 --> 0:28:59,958 Jason Salinas: had you talking to the Sacramento

1006 0:29:00,039 --> 0:29:03,356 Jason Salinas: Children's Home, and that's when sort of

1007 0:29:03,376 --> 0:29:06,774 Jason Salinas: the light bulb went off for me and so maybe

1008 0:29:07,716 --> 0:29:09,641 Jason Salinas: tell the story if you don't mind.

1009 0:29:09,950 --> 0:29:12,617 Jason Salinas: You've started a charity more recently

1010 0:29:13,178 --> 0:29:17,837 Jason Salinas: Kicks for Kids, and you give out shoes to

1011 0:29:18,760 --> 0:29:22,159 Jason Salinas: deserving children, under privileged kids,

1012 0:29:22,590 --> 0:29:27,330 Jason Salinas: and but you lied when you were eight and

1013 0:29:27,370 --> 0:29:31,517 Jason Salinas: that led to probably a lot of this hustlers,

1014 0:29:31,598 --> 0:29:33,717 Jason Salinas: scrappiness, perseverance type of person

1015 0:29:33,757 --> 0:29:34,580 Jason Salinas: that you are.

1016 0:29:35,021 --> 0:29:36,245 Jason Salinas: I have to imagine it did.

1017 0:29:36,615 --> 0:29:37,740 Jason Salinas: Something happened when you were about

1018 0:29:37,981 --> 0:29:42,164 Jason Salinas: eight and that had to just like shape

1019 0:29:42,285 --> 0:29:43,227 Jason Salinas: everything differently.

1020 0:29:43,835 --> 0:29:45,481 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know so my mom and dad.

1021 0:29:46,075 --> 0:29:47,340 Speaker 1: They divorced when I was real young.

1022 0:29:48,175 --> 0:29:50,081 Speaker 1: From what I've heard, they had a amicable

1023 0:29:50,422 --> 0:29:51,605 Speaker 1: early relationship.

1024 0:29:52,597 --> 0:29:53,680 Speaker 1: My dad then remarried.

1025 0:29:53,860 --> 0:29:56,697 Speaker 1: I was probably around three or four and he

1026 0:29:56,737 --> 0:29:58,698 Speaker 1: actually got full custody of me and so,

1027 0:29:59,200 --> 0:30:00,917 Speaker 1: living with him full time, I saw my mom

1028 0:30:00,957 --> 0:30:01,700 Speaker 1: every other weekend.

1029 0:30:02,635 --> 0:30:04,722 Speaker 1: This relationship with my dad and his new

1030 0:30:04,782 --> 0:30:07,862 Speaker 1: wife started out real nice and then it kind

1031 0:30:07,902 --> 0:30:10,361 Speaker 1: of grew into something that was a little

1032 0:30:10,381 --> 0:30:10,662 Speaker 1: different.

1033 0:30:10,755 --> 0:30:11,720 Speaker 1: It was almost two-sided.

1034 0:30:12,075 --> 0:30:14,102 Speaker 1: When he was home, everything was great,

1035 0:30:14,142 --> 0:30:15,959 Speaker 1: dinner was made, there was hoping with

1036 0:30:15,979 --> 0:30:16,340 Speaker 1: homework.

1037 0:30:16,661 --> 0:30:18,199 Speaker 1: When he was gone, he was a firefighter, so

1038 0:30:18,219 --> 0:30:19,818 Speaker 1: he worked 24 hours shifts, one day on, one

1039 0:30:19,838 --> 0:30:20,119 Speaker 1: day off.

1040 0:30:20,555 --> 0:30:22,423 Speaker 1: When he was gone, this stepmother of mine

1041 0:30:22,515 --> 0:30:24,877 Speaker 1: was just a different person, took out a lot

1042 0:30:24,897 --> 0:30:26,637 Speaker 1: of her anger from me, being from something

1043 0:30:26,737 --> 0:30:27,782 Speaker 1: else on me.

1044 0:30:28,255 --> 0:30:30,463 Speaker 1: It was very abusive, physically, mentally.

1045 0:30:30,715 --> 0:30:32,422 Speaker 1: I mean did a lot of different weird things.

1046 0:30:32,555 --> 0:30:34,743 Speaker 1: I mean from making me eat certain foods at

1047 0:30:34,783 --> 0:30:35,798 Speaker 1: night, I couldn't leave till the dinner

1048 0:30:35,818 --> 0:30:37,277 Speaker 1: table was gone, right, you know, I wouldn't

1049 0:30:37,297 --> 0:30:37,860 Speaker 1: be able to go to sleep.

1050 0:30:38,175 --> 0:30:40,042 Speaker 1: Gizzards and Brussels I mean just weird

1051 0:30:40,263 --> 0:30:40,484 Speaker 1: things.

1052 0:30:40,615 --> 0:30:41,479 Mark Haney: I looked back.

1053 0:30:41,499 --> 0:30:43,599 Speaker 1: I was a kid, yes, and so you know I can

1054 0:30:43,619 --> 0:30:44,936 Speaker 1: remember sitting there at midnight bobbing

1055 0:30:44,976 --> 0:30:45,659 Speaker 1: my head at the table.

1056 0:30:45,679 --> 0:30:47,380 Speaker 1: I'd finally shove it in my jam of pants and

1057 0:30:47,400 --> 0:30:48,457 Speaker 1: then go to the bathroom and throw it out

1058 0:30:48,477 --> 0:30:49,421 Speaker 1: and I'd eat it all at night.

1059 0:30:49,735 --> 0:30:51,361 Speaker 1: I mean just different little mental things.

1060 0:30:52,475 --> 0:30:54,563 Speaker 1: And no one really ever knew of the abuse.

1061 0:30:54,655 --> 0:30:55,257 Speaker 1: I never said anything.

1062 0:30:55,277 --> 0:30:58,237 Speaker 1: When I came to my mom's house, I'm sure my

1063 0:30:58,277 --> 0:31:00,003 Speaker 1: grandma, being as in tune as she was,

1064 0:31:00,175 --> 0:31:01,981 Speaker 1: always thought something.

1065 0:31:02,001 --> 0:31:03,024 Speaker 1: She just didn't want to push me.

1066 0:31:03,335 --> 0:31:04,479 Speaker 1: You know she'd.

1067 0:31:04,519 --> 0:31:05,804 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know how are you okay?

1068 0:31:06,055 --> 0:31:08,444 Speaker 1: And I know as I'm older now and I look back,

1069 0:31:08,916 --> 0:31:10,281 Speaker 1: it's looking into her eyes she knew

1070 0:31:10,362 --> 0:31:10,944 Speaker 1: something was going on.

1071 0:31:10,975 --> 0:31:12,782 Speaker 1: She just wasn't, you know, gonna push on it.

1072 0:31:13,475 --> 0:31:15,956 Speaker 1: And so this went on for a couple years and

1073 0:31:16,678 --> 0:31:19,345 Speaker 1: it got to a point where I showed up one

1074 0:31:19,385 --> 0:31:21,179 Speaker 1: night home from visitation.

1075 0:31:21,219 --> 0:31:22,222 Speaker 1: Actually my grandma dropped me off.

1076 0:31:22,755 --> 0:31:23,860 Speaker 1: Her and my stepmom had kind of gotten a

1077 0:31:23,880 --> 0:31:24,997 Speaker 1: little altercation because we were just a

1078 0:31:25,037 --> 0:31:26,337 Speaker 1: little bit late and I remember them

1079 0:31:26,357 --> 0:31:28,896 Speaker 1: screaming back and forth at each other and

1080 0:31:28,917 --> 0:31:31,080 Speaker 1: I went in the house and she says go get the

1081 0:31:31,120 --> 0:31:31,341 Speaker 1: mop.

1082 0:31:31,635 --> 0:31:34,124 Speaker 1: And back then the mops that you would claim

1083 0:31:34,144 --> 0:31:35,077 Speaker 1: floors with were heavy duty.

1084 0:31:35,098 --> 0:31:36,563 Speaker 1: They're not real light like they are now,

1085 0:31:36,615 --> 0:31:37,740 Speaker 1: and they have to squeegee on the bottom.

1086 0:31:38,396 --> 0:31:40,235 Speaker 1: And so I remember hitting me with that, you

1087 0:31:40,255 --> 0:31:41,480 Speaker 1: know, probably 10, 15 times.

1088 0:31:41,520 --> 0:31:42,323 Speaker 1: She said go get your belt.

1089 0:31:42,615 --> 0:31:44,723 Speaker 1: And I had a leather belt like the firemen's

1090 0:31:44,743 --> 0:31:47,042 Speaker 1: wore, with about a two pound fire engine

1091 0:31:47,062 --> 0:31:47,483 Speaker 1: belt buckle.

1092 0:31:48,176 --> 0:31:50,116 Speaker 1: Hit me with that probably 10, 15 times and

1093 0:31:50,136 --> 0:31:50,819 Speaker 1: my dad happened to call.

1094 0:31:51,155 --> 0:31:52,240 Speaker 1: She says you need to come home.

1095 0:31:52,655 --> 0:31:54,321 Speaker 1: Jason's been beaten real bad by his mom and

1096 0:31:54,341 --> 0:31:54,582 Speaker 1: grandma.

1097 0:31:55,435 --> 0:31:57,115 Speaker 1: So now in the next 20 minutes have

1098 0:31:57,155 --> 0:31:59,203 Speaker 1: concocted this whole story of what had

1099 0:31:59,223 --> 0:31:59,584 Speaker 1: happened to me.

1100 0:31:59,655 --> 0:32:00,659 Speaker 1: So they took me to the hospital.

1101 0:32:01,715 --> 0:32:03,201 Speaker 1: Police came, interviewed me at the hospital,

1102 0:32:03,755 --> 0:32:06,036 Speaker 1: sent me home with my dad and my stepmom and

1103 0:32:06,056 --> 0:32:07,516 Speaker 1: then, of course, the next day they said hey,

1104 0:32:07,837 --> 0:32:08,901 Speaker 1: you know, we want to bring you back down

1105 0:32:08,921 --> 0:32:09,644 Speaker 1: for some more questioning.

1106 0:32:09,775 --> 0:32:10,900 Speaker 1: In the meantime they'd already had my mom,

1107 0:32:11,095 --> 0:32:12,781 Speaker 1: grandma, grandpa, interviewed them, lie

1108 0:32:12,801 --> 0:32:14,098 Speaker 1: detector test and they knew that they

1109 0:32:14,118 --> 0:32:14,539 Speaker 1: didn't do it.

1110 0:32:15,335 --> 0:32:16,781 Speaker 1: So we go to the police station.

1111 0:32:16,821 --> 0:32:18,399 Speaker 1: They say hey, we want to talk to you about

1112 0:32:18,439 --> 0:32:18,499 Speaker 1: it.

1113 0:32:18,579 --> 0:32:19,302 Speaker 1: You want to tell us the truth.

1114 0:32:19,455 --> 0:32:20,580 Speaker 1: I was still going with the same story.

1115 0:32:20,695 --> 0:32:22,420 Speaker 1: Being a seven year old kid, you're scared,

1116 0:32:22,460 --> 0:32:22,761 Speaker 1: you don't you?

1117 0:32:22,781 --> 0:32:22,862 Jason Salinas: know.

1118 0:32:22,882 --> 0:32:23,885 Jason Salinas: Yeah, you don't want to change your story.

1119 0:32:24,337 --> 0:32:24,417 Speaker 1: Yeah.

1120 0:32:24,437 --> 0:32:26,272 Speaker 1: So they say we're going to take you

1121 0:32:26,292 --> 0:32:26,635 Speaker 1: somewhere safe.

1122 0:32:27,983 --> 0:32:29,753 Speaker 1: And so they take me out the back door, put

1123 0:32:29,773 --> 0:32:31,440 Speaker 1: me in a vehicle and they drive me to

1124 0:32:31,480 --> 0:32:32,504 Speaker 1: Sacramento Children's receiving home.

1125 0:32:33,160 --> 0:32:33,925 Jason Salinas: Sacramento Children's receiving home.

1126 0:32:33,945 --> 0:32:34,812 Jason Salinas: Sacramento Children's receiving home, right

1127 0:32:34,832 --> 0:32:35,255 Jason Salinas: there, on what avenue?

1128 0:32:35,295 --> 0:32:38,082 Speaker 1: Yeah, so you show up and as I'm older now I

1129 0:32:38,123 --> 0:32:39,215 Speaker 1: look back when I try to describe to people

1130 0:32:39,215 --> 0:32:39,888 Speaker 1: that first day going in there.

1131 0:32:40,761 --> 0:32:41,853 Speaker 1: It almost reminds you of somebody checking

1132 0:32:41,873 --> 0:32:42,055 Speaker 1: into jail.

1133 0:32:42,217 --> 0:32:43,614 Speaker 1: You know you check in fingerprint.

1134 0:32:43,634 --> 0:32:45,615 Speaker 1: You take your clothes off that you have on,

1135 0:32:46,201 --> 0:32:47,333 Speaker 1: take you into a room, give you a pair of

1136 0:32:47,353 --> 0:32:48,831 Speaker 1: jeans, socks, underwear, everything's used,

1137 0:32:49,777 --> 0:32:51,263 Speaker 1: take you to your little bunk and then there

1138 0:32:51,283 --> 0:32:51,524 Speaker 1: you go.

1139 0:32:52,241 --> 0:32:53,351 Speaker 1: Now most of the kids in the Sacramento

1140 0:32:53,371 --> 0:32:55,571 Speaker 1: Children's receiving home are there maybe a

1141 0:32:55,591 --> 0:32:57,300 Speaker 1: week to two weeks as they transfer in

1142 0:32:57,340 --> 0:32:58,324 Speaker 1: between foster parents.

1143 0:32:58,897 --> 0:33:01,224 Speaker 1: I was there for eight months eight months,

1144 0:33:01,304 --> 0:33:01,825 Speaker 1: two weeks in.

1145 0:33:02,439 --> 0:33:03,973 Speaker 1: I met with a psychiatrist, really got along

1146 0:33:03,993 --> 0:33:05,586 Speaker 1: with him, and it was the first time I was

1147 0:33:05,626 --> 0:33:06,251 Speaker 1: able to open up.

1148 0:33:06,312 --> 0:33:08,609 Speaker 1: Until the truth I said, hey, this has been

1149 0:33:08,629 --> 0:33:09,395 Speaker 1: going on for a long time.

1150 0:33:09,857 --> 0:33:10,761 Speaker 1: I feel safe in here.

1151 0:33:11,257 --> 0:33:12,523 Speaker 1: My stepmom is the one that's been doing

1152 0:33:12,563 --> 0:33:12,724 Speaker 1: this.

1153 0:33:13,065 --> 0:33:14,753 Jason Salinas: And it was you felt safer in there.

1154 0:33:14,773 --> 0:33:16,359 Jason Salinas: I felt safer there, and that's you know.

1155 0:33:16,379 --> 0:33:17,223 Jason Salinas: Yeah, yeah.

1156 0:33:18,081 --> 0:33:19,353 Speaker 1: And I got you know, I got a chance to go

1157 0:33:19,394 --> 0:33:21,153 Speaker 1: back and talk to the kids and I told them,

1158 0:33:21,174 --> 0:33:23,928 Speaker 1: I said, hey, if there's one thing you know,

1159 0:33:24,491 --> 0:33:26,606 Speaker 1: if I can share with you, is that at a young

1160 0:33:26,807 --> 0:33:28,899 Speaker 1: age, even right then, I was able to tell

1161 0:33:28,939 --> 0:33:29,642 Speaker 1: people my story.

1162 0:33:30,478 --> 0:33:32,671 Speaker 1: And so by doing that is allowed me to open

1163 0:33:32,752 --> 0:33:33,335 Speaker 1: up and move forward.

1164 0:33:33,818 --> 0:33:35,890 Speaker 1: And so, you know, sometimes people who

1165 0:33:35,971 --> 0:33:38,287 Speaker 1: carry their drama or their trauma with them,

1166 0:33:38,670 --> 0:33:40,450 Speaker 1: it seems to you know, hold them back from

1167 0:33:40,471 --> 0:33:42,239 Speaker 1: moving forward and achieving what they want

1168 0:33:42,259 --> 0:33:42,560 Speaker 1: to achieve.

1169 0:33:42,620 --> 0:33:44,125 Speaker 1: So, talking about it, talking about it,

1170 0:33:44,205 --> 0:33:45,780 Speaker 1: yeah, and knowing that those people there

1171 0:33:46,278 --> 0:33:47,609 Speaker 1: that are there putting in their time and

1172 0:33:47,629 --> 0:33:48,941 Speaker 1: effort, really want to help you I mean,

1173 0:33:48,962 --> 0:33:50,134 Speaker 1: they're not those guys aren't making no

1174 0:33:50,154 --> 0:33:51,589 Speaker 1: money, they're true people that are

1175 0:33:51,609 --> 0:33:53,165 Speaker 1: passionate about helping you know these

1176 0:33:53,225 --> 0:33:54,175 Speaker 1: kids and being there for them.

1177 0:33:54,717 --> 0:33:57,439 Speaker 1: And the sad part is, when I went back, it's

1178 0:33:57,499 --> 0:33:59,108 Speaker 1: changed so much now that they can't even

1179 0:33:59,691 --> 0:34:00,335 Speaker 1: hug on these kids.

1180 0:34:00,498 --> 0:34:01,455 Speaker 1: They can't touch, physically touch them.

1181 0:34:01,880 --> 0:34:03,015 Speaker 1: They can't love on them, can't nothing.

1182 0:34:03,459 --> 0:34:04,953 Speaker 1: So these kids are there, you know, maybe

1183 0:34:04,993 --> 0:34:06,348 Speaker 1: hearing it, but not feeling.

1184 0:34:06,368 --> 0:34:06,975 Speaker 1: You know even that connection.

1185 0:34:07,298 --> 0:34:09,897 Jason Salinas: It may be having an experience, maybe

1186 0:34:10,419 --> 0:34:13,146 Jason Salinas: similar to what you may have had or you had,

1187 0:34:14,137 --> 0:34:15,941 Jason Salinas: and nobody's even there to give them a hug.

1188 0:34:15,961 --> 0:34:16,723 Speaker 1: Can't even give them a hug.

1189 0:34:16,743 --> 0:34:18,748 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's crazy, it's crazy.

1190 0:34:18,955 --> 0:34:22,165 Speaker 1: So, yeah, you know, after telling the story

1191 0:34:22,255 --> 0:34:23,400 Speaker 1: they're just like okay, well, here you have

1192 0:34:23,420 --> 0:34:24,558 Speaker 1: an eight year old now who's told two

1193 0:34:24,578 --> 0:34:25,140 Speaker 1: different stories.

1194 0:34:25,615 --> 0:34:26,976 Speaker 1: We're going to keep them in here while we

1195 0:34:26,996 --> 0:34:28,081 Speaker 1: go through the whole court process.

1196 0:34:28,175 --> 0:34:29,540 Speaker 1: So chargers were pressed against my

1197 0:34:29,580 --> 0:34:31,498 Speaker 1: stepmother at the time and here I am, at

1198 0:34:31,578 --> 0:34:34,280 Speaker 1: eight years old, going to court testifying

1199 0:34:34,761 --> 0:34:36,418 Speaker 1: in front of a jury standing up pointing her

1200 0:34:36,438 --> 0:34:36,800 Speaker 1: out of minutes.

1201 0:34:37,638 --> 0:34:39,918 Speaker 1: It's happened so long ago, but when I think

1202 0:34:39,958 --> 0:34:41,497 Speaker 1: back, it's that crazy thing to be able to

1203 0:34:41,517 --> 0:34:42,239 Speaker 1: experience all that.

1204 0:34:42,279 --> 0:34:43,042 Speaker 1: You know, yeah.

1205 0:34:43,675 --> 0:34:46,096 Speaker 1: And so while I was in there this kind of

1206 0:34:46,116 --> 0:34:48,396 Speaker 1: leads to the kicks for kids story my mom

1207 0:34:48,416 --> 0:34:49,360 Speaker 1: had said, hey, is there anything I can

1208 0:34:49,400 --> 0:34:49,662 Speaker 1: bring it?

1209 0:34:49,815 --> 0:34:51,576 Speaker 1: You know, and I said, you know, I really

1210 0:34:51,596 --> 0:34:52,942 Speaker 1: would like the new Nike Cortez.

1211 0:34:53,135 --> 0:34:54,641 Speaker 1: They just came out and they're the white

1212 0:34:54,762 --> 0:34:56,340 Speaker 1: ones with the red swoosh, little blue trim,

1213 0:34:56,995 --> 0:34:59,223 Speaker 1: forest gump warm and the movie forest gump.

1214 0:34:59,655 --> 0:35:01,120 Speaker 1: And so she brought those to me and

1215 0:35:01,180 --> 0:35:02,897 Speaker 1: literally my eyes lit up the minute I seen

1216 0:35:02,937 --> 0:35:03,018 Speaker 1: her.

1217 0:35:03,660 --> 0:35:05,340 Speaker 1: You know, I don't think I wore them outside

1218 0:35:05,380 --> 0:35:06,998 Speaker 1: for a week, you know, kept the tissue in

1219 0:35:07,018 --> 0:35:08,363 Speaker 1: there, kept them in the box.

1220 0:35:08,535 --> 0:35:09,781 Speaker 1: I mean, just took care of these.

1221 0:35:09,895 --> 0:35:11,621 Speaker 1: But they gave me my own identity to have

1222 0:35:11,661 --> 0:35:13,638 Speaker 1: something brand new when everything else I

1223 0:35:13,678 --> 0:35:15,459 Speaker 1: had was used and my own like kind of style.

1224 0:35:16,375 --> 0:35:17,499 Speaker 1: I have a shoe addiction now.

1225 0:35:17,901 --> 0:35:19,397 Speaker 1: That, I said, was created by that first

1226 0:35:19,417 --> 0:35:20,862 Speaker 1: pair of shoes all the way back then.

1227 0:35:21,576 --> 0:35:23,704 Speaker 1: And so as I got older, I, you know I said,

1228 0:35:23,815 --> 0:35:25,099 Speaker 1: hey, I want to do something, I'm going to

1229 0:35:25,120 --> 0:35:26,223 Speaker 1: create a cause, I'm going to do something.

1230 0:35:26,615 --> 0:35:28,254 Speaker 1: I want to know that when I leave this earth

1231 0:35:28,355 --> 0:35:30,115 Speaker 1: I can say, hey, I created a legacy that

1232 0:35:30,176 --> 0:35:32,242 Speaker 1: wasn't just about myself and show my kids.

1233 0:35:32,463 --> 0:35:34,239 Speaker 1: You know, it's about helping other people,

1234 0:35:34,400 --> 0:35:35,002 Speaker 1: you know as well.

1235 0:35:35,135 --> 0:35:37,483 Speaker 1: And so I said, what if I do start kicks for

1236 0:35:37,503 --> 0:35:39,199 Speaker 1: kids and we take them down, the children

1237 0:35:39,219 --> 0:35:40,860 Speaker 1: receiving home right at Christmas, and they

1238 0:35:40,900 --> 0:35:43,220 Speaker 1: have that same feeling as experience, and

1239 0:35:43,240 --> 0:35:44,798 Speaker 1: I'm never the one I don't really ever like

1240 0:35:44,818 --> 0:35:46,063 Speaker 1: to just ask people for something.

1241 0:35:46,296 --> 0:35:47,741 Speaker 1: So I said what can I put on the back end of

1242 0:35:47,801 --> 0:35:47,842 Speaker 1: it?

1243 0:35:48,415 --> 0:35:49,560 Speaker 1: So I said, for every pair of shoes you

1244 0:35:49,600 --> 0:35:50,840 Speaker 1: bring down, I'll give you a raffle ticket.

1245 0:35:51,035 --> 0:35:52,301 Speaker 1: And if it happens to be a name brand

1246 0:35:52,395 --> 0:35:54,823 Speaker 1: because I remember that name brand meant so

1247 0:35:54,883 --> 0:35:56,239 Speaker 1: much to me and a lot of these kids, one

1248 0:35:56,279 --> 0:35:57,597 Speaker 1: have never had a pair of new shoes but have

1249 0:35:57,618 --> 0:35:59,395 Speaker 1: never had a brand name pair of shoes so

1250 0:35:59,416 --> 0:36:01,378 Speaker 1: I'll give you two raffle tickets so we'll

1251 0:36:01,398 --> 0:36:02,884 Speaker 1: come down and then we'll raffle them off

1252 0:36:02,935 --> 0:36:04,220 Speaker 1: when we take them down and I'll give away

1253 0:36:04,280 --> 0:36:05,537 Speaker 1: 18 sessions of training, which is about

1254 0:36:05,557 --> 0:36:06,741 Speaker 1: $1,200 worth of training.

1255 0:36:07,455 --> 0:36:08,700 Speaker 1: So that don't feel like I'm just asking

1256 0:36:09,001 --> 0:36:09,523 Speaker 1: without giving.

1257 0:36:09,615 --> 0:36:10,740 Speaker 1: And so that has grown.

1258 0:36:11,275 --> 0:36:13,398 Speaker 1: We went from 60 shoes this is our 10th year

1259 0:36:13,498 --> 0:36:15,415 Speaker 1: from 60, I think 68 pairs of shoes to

1306 0:37:31,935 --> 0:37:33,722 Speaker 1: First couple of years we just literally

1307 0:37:33,742 --> 0:37:35,746 Speaker 1: pull up and then donate the shoes, and I

1308 0:37:35,786 --> 0:37:36,911 Speaker 1: think it was probably the fourth year.

1309 0:37:36,985 --> 0:37:37,788 Speaker 1: They didn't know who we were.

1310 0:37:37,989 --> 0:37:39,849 Speaker 1: No one ever said no, we just like, ah, it's

1311 0:37:39,869 --> 0:37:41,647 Speaker 1: the same guy again, same guy again, and it

1312 0:37:41,687 --> 0:37:42,349 Speaker 1: took one lady.

1313 0:37:42,450 --> 0:37:43,012 Speaker 1: One time she goes.

1314 0:37:43,305 --> 0:37:44,551 Speaker 1: I wore some crazy shoes in there.

1315 0:37:44,725 --> 0:37:47,455 Speaker 1: I always go to like some Christmas-y outfit.

1316 0:37:47,525 --> 0:37:49,482 Speaker 1: I got a velour green suit with a Santa on

1317 0:37:49,502 --> 0:37:49,744 Speaker 1: the back.

1318 0:37:49,885 --> 0:37:51,886 Jason Salinas: By the way, hold up your foot here so that

1319 0:37:51,927 --> 0:37:54,149 Jason Salinas: for the camera here, now that's a Nike,

1320 0:37:54,210 --> 0:37:54,611 Jason Salinas: what, what?

1321 0:37:54,652 --> 0:37:54,812 Mark Haney: is that.

1322 0:37:54,845 --> 0:37:55,046 Jason Salinas: Metcons.

1323 0:37:55,066 --> 0:37:56,111 Jason Salinas: These are the Nike Metcons.

1324 0:37:56,165 --> 0:37:58,426 Jason Salinas: Okay, so anybody's watching on YouTube can

1325 0:37:58,466 --> 0:37:59,470 Jason Salinas: see that they're.

1326 0:37:59,851 --> 0:38:00,413 Jason Salinas: Are they purple?

1327 0:38:00,686 --> 0:38:01,710 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like a deep purple.

1328 0:38:02,465 --> 0:38:04,914 Speaker 1: So okay, so those like collector's items or

1329 0:38:04,954 --> 0:38:06,410 Speaker 1: those you know, I actually started wearing

1330 0:38:06,430 --> 0:38:08,771 Speaker 1: these, cause I mean I'll get the Jordans

1331 0:38:08,865 --> 0:38:10,512 Speaker 1: and the collectors and stuff and they look

1332 0:38:10,532 --> 0:38:11,729 Speaker 1: good, but they're not the most comfortable

1333 0:38:11,769 --> 0:38:11,910 Speaker 1: shoe.

1334 0:38:12,345 --> 0:38:14,373 Speaker 1: This Metcon 5 is actually a workout shoe

1335 0:38:14,865 --> 0:38:17,314 Speaker 1: and I it's probably it's actually my third

1336 0:38:17,354 --> 0:38:20,133 Speaker 1: pair, but they're super comfortable, light,

1337 0:38:20,193 --> 0:38:21,629 Speaker 1: breathable and it's just a great workout

1338 0:38:21,649 --> 0:38:21,730 Speaker 1: shoe.

1339 0:38:21,865 --> 0:38:23,592 Speaker 1: So of course, I'm in the gym all the time.

1340 0:38:23,645 --> 0:38:24,969 Speaker 1: So right now this is my favorite workout

1341 0:38:24,989 --> 0:38:26,353 Speaker 1: shoe the Metcon 5.

1342 0:38:26,393 --> 0:38:27,096 Speaker 1: The Metcon 5.

1343 0:38:27,265 --> 0:38:28,430 Jason Salinas: Okay, so I interrupted you.

1344 0:38:28,470 --> 0:38:31,698 Jason Salinas: So then the lady recognized you from your

1345 0:38:31,838 --> 0:38:32,301 Jason Salinas: drop-off shoe.

1346 0:38:32,441 --> 0:38:32,984 Speaker 1: She just goes.

1347 0:38:33,004 --> 0:38:34,391 Speaker 1: She goes well, those are some crazy shoes.

1348 0:38:34,505 --> 0:38:34,666 Speaker 1: And I go.

1349 0:38:34,686 --> 0:38:35,831 Speaker 1: Well, I have a shoe addiction.

1350 0:38:35,945 --> 0:38:36,908 Speaker 1: That started when I was in here.

1351 0:38:37,088 --> 0:38:38,853 Speaker 1: She said, what, wait a minute, she was,

1352 0:38:38,953 --> 0:38:39,354 Speaker 1: what'd you say?

1353 0:38:39,374 --> 0:38:40,586 Speaker 1: And so then I ended up telling her she goes,

1354 0:38:40,606 --> 0:38:41,986 Speaker 1: oh my God, we gotta have you back, I wanna

1355 0:38:42,006 --> 0:38:43,372 Speaker 1: have you, you know you to tell a story.

1356 0:38:43,465 --> 0:38:45,272 Speaker 1: And so then I came in and met with the

1357 0:38:45,312 --> 0:38:47,732 Speaker 1: staff and they've recognized me as alumni

1358 0:38:47,772 --> 0:38:49,450 Speaker 1: from being there, and so it was pretty cool

1359 0:38:49,846 --> 0:38:51,325 Speaker 1: and I had always wanted to be there and

1360 0:38:51,345 --> 0:38:52,531 Speaker 1: actually hand the shoes out with the kids.

1361 0:38:52,605 --> 0:38:55,949 Speaker 1: But you know it's pretty private and they

1362 0:38:55,969 --> 0:38:58,636 Speaker 1: had had an incident where a girl had passed

1363 0:38:58,656 --> 0:38:59,728 Speaker 1: away a couple of years ago.

1364 0:38:59,768 --> 0:39:00,672 Speaker 1: That was in the children's home.

1365 0:39:00,705 --> 0:39:02,565 Speaker 1: She ran, her friend was running away, she

1366 0:39:02,606 --> 0:39:04,546 Speaker 1: was actually going to stop her, got hit by

1367 0:39:04,567 --> 0:39:05,510 Speaker 1: a car on I-80.

1368 0:39:06,105 --> 0:39:07,625 Speaker 1: And so it just brought a lot of turmoil to

1369 0:39:07,645 --> 0:39:09,025 Speaker 1: the second one she was receiving home a lot

1370 0:39:09,046 --> 0:39:10,752 Speaker 1: of negative, you know, for them not

1371 0:39:10,812 --> 0:39:12,509 Speaker 1: stopping her, but their hands are tied

1372 0:39:12,529 --> 0:39:13,793 Speaker 1: behind their back of what they can do, you

1373 0:39:13,833 --> 0:39:13,914 Speaker 1: know.

1374 0:39:14,025 --> 0:39:15,485 Speaker 1: And so they reached out and they said, hey,

1375 0:39:15,525 --> 0:39:17,052 Speaker 1: can you come down and speak to the staff

1376 0:39:17,265 --> 0:39:18,490 Speaker 1: and the kids here, just to kind of build

1377 0:39:18,530 --> 0:39:19,012 Speaker 1: around.

1378 0:39:19,105 --> 0:39:21,106 Speaker 1: I was like I'll be there tomorrow, so the

1379 0:39:21,146 --> 0:39:23,174 Speaker 1: video that you got to see was at.

1380 0:39:23,265 --> 0:39:25,066 Speaker 1: That was about three years ago, and that

1381 0:39:25,086 --> 0:39:26,411 Speaker 1: was the first chance I got to go and speak

1382 0:39:26,431 --> 0:39:28,411 Speaker 1: back, and so it was just such a cool

1383 0:39:28,452 --> 0:39:30,110 Speaker 1: feeling to be able to see the kids and the

1384 0:39:30,150 --> 0:39:31,790 Speaker 1: staff and let the staff know that, man, you

1385 0:39:31,811 --> 0:39:33,791 Speaker 1: guys, you did real good with me.

1386 0:39:33,931 --> 0:39:34,353 Speaker 1: You know what I mean.

1387 0:39:34,725 --> 0:39:36,407 Speaker 1: You taught me to be able to open up and

1388 0:39:36,447 --> 0:39:36,908 Speaker 1: talk about.

1389 0:39:36,989 --> 0:39:38,173 Speaker 1: You know the issues that I was going

1390 0:39:38,213 --> 0:39:40,051 Speaker 1: through and, rather than that, hold me down,

1391 0:39:40,525 --> 0:39:41,690 Speaker 1: be able to grow and move forward with it.

1392 0:39:42,826 --> 0:39:46,786 Jason Salinas: So how important was youth sports and high

1393 0:39:46,806 --> 0:39:48,874 Jason Salinas: school sports in your development?

1394 0:39:48,945 --> 0:39:53,367 Jason Salinas: I think a lot of times we forget how much

1395 0:39:53,628 --> 0:39:55,034 Jason Salinas: that can be an impact.

1396 0:39:55,125 --> 0:39:56,751 Jason Salinas: We need those role models.

1397 0:39:57,325 --> 0:40:00,294 Jason Salinas: Sometimes even a tough coach can be super

1398 0:40:00,334 --> 0:40:02,671 Jason Salinas: helpful, and you obviously were a very,

1399 0:40:02,751 --> 0:40:06,589 Jason Salinas: very good athlete and maybe somebody who

1400 0:40:06,649 --> 0:40:09,706 Jason Salinas: needed a little bit of a role model or role

1401 0:40:09,726 --> 0:40:11,233 Jason Salinas: models in your life, similar to the way

1402 0:40:11,305 --> 0:40:14,475 Jason Salinas: Jason Bartlett or Mutual Buddy needed.

1403 0:40:14,625 --> 0:40:17,433 Jason Salinas: Was that a part of your shaping of you?

1404 0:40:18,525 --> 0:40:20,352 Speaker 1: People ask like who was your male role

1405 0:40:20,392 --> 0:40:20,613 Speaker 1: model?

1406 0:40:22,965 --> 0:40:24,209 Speaker 1: Grandpa Pager, I mean he worked hard.

1407 0:40:26,005 --> 0:40:28,910 Speaker 1: He provided for the family, he loved my

1408 0:40:28,950 --> 0:40:30,926 Speaker 1: grandma and was a great husband, would do

1409 0:40:30,946 --> 0:40:31,026 Speaker 1: any.

1410 0:40:31,166 --> 0:40:33,674 Speaker 1: I mean I probably learned as much

1411 0:40:33,714 --> 0:40:34,055 Speaker 1: discipline.

1412 0:40:34,105 --> 0:40:35,129 Speaker 1: I mean I worked a couple of summers

1413 0:40:35,149 --> 0:40:35,892 Speaker 1: building houses with him.

1414 0:40:35,965 --> 0:40:37,371 Speaker 1: I hated him one minute, loved him the next.

1415 0:40:38,367 --> 0:40:39,111 Speaker 1: But he taught me a lot.

1416 0:40:39,185 --> 0:40:40,710 Speaker 1: He wasn't really physically teaching me

1417 0:40:40,771 --> 0:40:42,930 Speaker 1: sports and no one really had to do that,

1418 0:40:43,005 --> 0:40:43,467 Speaker 1: that was just.

1419 0:40:43,587 --> 0:40:45,714 Speaker 1: And I look back now and I go, I just had it

1420 0:40:45,734 --> 0:40:45,834 Speaker 1: in me.

1421 0:40:46,246 --> 0:40:48,467 Speaker 1: I played soccer, football, baseball and I

1422 0:40:48,487 --> 0:40:49,612 Speaker 1: was gonna be the team captain.

1423 0:40:49,825 --> 0:40:51,847 Speaker 1: If it took me one season or next, I just my

1424 0:40:51,867 --> 0:40:53,512 Speaker 1: goal was I was gonna be the leader of every

1425 0:40:53,552 --> 0:40:55,731 Speaker 1: team all the way from junior high, all the

1426 0:40:55,751 --> 0:40:56,807 Speaker 1: way through high school, and I don't know

1427 0:40:56,887 --> 0:40:58,188 Speaker 1: where that comes from, but it was like when

1428 0:40:58,208 --> 0:40:59,569 Speaker 1: I'm on this team I'm gonna be one of the

1429 0:40:59,589 --> 0:41:00,868 Speaker 1: captains and I just have.

1430 0:41:01,048 --> 0:41:02,927 Speaker 1: I've just always taken that role and I

1431 0:41:02,967 --> 0:41:04,506 Speaker 1: think I took it when I became a manager to

1432 0:41:04,526 --> 0:41:06,869 Speaker 1: train the trainers and it kind of falls

1433 0:41:06,909 --> 0:41:07,753 Speaker 1: into play with clients.

1434 0:41:07,825 --> 0:41:08,909 Speaker 1: You know, clients are like kind of my

1435 0:41:08,950 --> 0:41:10,789 Speaker 1: teammates and it's kind of to build them up

1436 0:41:10,829 --> 0:41:13,370 Speaker 1: and get them excited and come at it with an

1437 0:41:13,410 --> 0:41:15,806 Speaker 1: approach that's different than when you

1438 0:41:15,846 --> 0:41:17,866 Speaker 1: think of your traditional trainer who's

1439 0:41:17,886 --> 0:41:19,092 Speaker 1: gonna beat you up or yelling at you.

1440 0:41:19,125 --> 0:41:20,431 Speaker 1: I tell people like I'm here to coach you,

1441 0:41:20,525 --> 0:41:22,446 Speaker 1: I'm here to pick you up, coach you and if

1442 0:41:22,506 --> 0:41:24,252 Speaker 1: anything, if I'm beating you up, you're

1443 0:41:24,272 --> 0:41:26,250 Speaker 1: gonna regret, you're not gonna wanna come

1444 0:41:26,270 --> 0:41:26,592 Speaker 1: to the gym.

1445 0:41:26,945 --> 0:41:28,231 Speaker 1: But if I can give you the tools that you

1446 0:41:28,291 --> 0:41:30,766 Speaker 1: need and coach you through this when you're

1447 0:41:30,786 --> 0:41:32,047 Speaker 1: not ready to follow your menu, hey, come in

1448 0:41:32,067 --> 0:41:33,152 Speaker 1: and let's get at least a good workout.

1449 0:41:33,225 --> 0:41:34,431 Speaker 1: There's gonna be that time where it flips

1450 0:41:34,505 --> 0:41:36,565 Speaker 1: and you're ready to listen and learn, and

1451 0:41:36,585 --> 0:41:37,766 Speaker 1: it's not about beating somebody up trying

1452 0:41:37,786 --> 0:41:38,609 Speaker 1: to improve something you know.

1453 0:41:38,670 --> 0:41:41,726 Jason Salinas: So Well, you mentioned grandpa Pager, so I

1454 0:41:41,826 --> 0:41:45,996 Jason Salinas: know him new him and your grandmother is

1455 0:41:46,705 --> 0:41:47,367 Jason Salinas: because it's through.

1456 0:41:47,407 --> 0:41:50,228 Jason Salinas: My wife is aunt and uncle, uncle Bob and

1457 0:41:50,329 --> 0:41:53,972 Jason Salinas: Anastell, and they were the warmest people

1458 0:41:55,115 --> 0:41:58,109 Jason Salinas: in that family to me and I could sense the

1459 0:41:58,149 --> 0:41:59,193 Jason Salinas: community that you know.

1460 0:41:59,225 --> 0:42:02,113 Jason Salinas: They had a gift in bringing people together.

1461 0:42:02,133 --> 0:42:02,575 Jason Salinas: Oh, yeah.

1462 0:42:03,245 --> 0:42:07,877 Jason Salinas: And so I feel like sometimes as family

1463 0:42:07,957 --> 0:42:10,831 Jason Salinas: members you sort of look around and if

1464 0:42:10,871 --> 0:42:14,410 Jason Salinas: that's not happening, maybe it's up to you

1465 0:42:14,470 --> 0:42:15,955 Jason Salinas: to step up and lead.

1466 0:42:16,145 --> 0:42:19,254 Jason Salinas: So I don't know if that's happening now in

1467 0:42:19,314 --> 0:42:21,511 Jason Salinas: that in our family, like that it's

1468 0:42:21,531 --> 0:42:24,253 Jason Salinas: happening, I have it like in my little side

1469 0:42:24,273 --> 0:42:26,691 Jason Salinas: of the family but not in the broader family,

1470 0:42:26,731 --> 0:42:27,233 Jason Salinas: if that even.

1471 0:42:27,505 --> 0:42:28,889 Speaker 1: My sister's actually done a really good job

1472 0:42:29,070 --> 0:42:29,270 Speaker 1: of it.

1473 0:42:29,391 --> 0:42:30,494 Speaker 1: Oh okay, Super proud of her.

1474 0:42:31,347 --> 0:42:32,351 Speaker 1: She's kind of filled that role.

1475 0:42:32,686 --> 0:42:34,390 Speaker 1: She reminds me of grandma Pager.

1476 0:42:34,510 --> 0:42:35,493 Speaker 1: Yeah, she's Interesting.

1477 0:42:35,533 --> 0:42:36,917 Jason Salinas: That's cool, I'm glad that you have that,

1478 0:42:37,492 --> 0:42:39,589 Jason Salinas: because what a great role, I think, for all

1479 0:42:39,609 --> 0:42:43,028 Jason Salinas: of these, like my kids even and for me and

1480 0:42:43,088 --> 0:42:45,896 Jason Salinas: for you know, my in-laws and stuff.

1481 0:42:46,385 --> 0:42:49,053 Jason Salinas: What a great example that we learned by

1482 0:42:49,113 --> 0:42:49,635 Jason Salinas: going over.

1483 0:42:50,225 --> 0:42:51,912 Jason Salinas: Were you living at that house at that time?

1484 0:42:51,985 --> 0:42:52,948 Mark Haney: Yeah, you're living there at your

1485 0:42:52,969 --> 0:42:53,932 Mark Haney: grandparents' house.

1486 0:42:54,906 --> 0:42:58,685 Jason Salinas: And you know we're going over there and

1487 0:42:58,706 --> 0:43:00,412 Jason Salinas: kind of trampling on your.

1488 0:43:00,645 --> 0:43:01,889 Jason Salinas: I'm playing on your basketball court.

1489 0:43:01,909 --> 0:43:03,213 Jason Salinas: We're over there playing basketball, I'm on

1490 0:43:03,233 --> 0:43:03,554 Jason Salinas: your court.

1491 0:43:03,885 --> 0:43:04,869 Jason Salinas: You're like get these old men off my

1492 0:43:04,889 --> 0:43:05,612 Jason Salinas: basketball court.

1493 0:43:05,925 --> 0:43:07,371 Jason Salinas: I'm probably in my 20s at that time.

1494 0:43:07,505 --> 0:43:09,732 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, just just, it was just a great.

1495 0:43:10,645 --> 0:43:11,730 Speaker 1: They were definitely kind of, I say, the

1496 0:43:11,770 --> 0:43:12,412 Speaker 1: rock of the family.

1497 0:43:12,585 --> 0:43:16,086 Speaker 1: I mean for sure you know, very rarely I've

1498 0:43:16,106 --> 0:43:16,327 Speaker 1: done things.

1499 0:43:16,347 --> 0:43:17,607 Speaker 1: I've ever seen them fight, maybe once or

1500 0:43:17,647 --> 0:43:19,951 Speaker 1: twice, but just really just kind of set the

1501 0:43:19,971 --> 0:43:22,313 Speaker 1: tone, I think, for a lot of, like you know,

1502 0:43:22,845 --> 0:43:24,527 Speaker 1: aunts and uncles to kind of see how their

1503 0:43:24,547 --> 0:43:25,310 Speaker 1: relationship should be.

1504 0:43:25,590 --> 0:43:27,566 Jason Salinas: So All right, one more subject, and then

1505 0:43:27,586 --> 0:43:29,052 Jason Salinas: I'll let you kind of close it out a little

1506 0:43:29,072 --> 0:43:29,152 Jason Salinas: bit.

1507 0:43:29,205 --> 0:43:30,410 Jason Salinas: You brought up, as we were walking up the

1508 0:43:30,450 --> 0:43:32,691 Jason Salinas: stairs and into the studio here in my

1509 0:43:32,791 --> 0:43:34,556 Jason Salinas: office, you brought up the Niners.

1510 0:43:34,605 --> 0:43:36,408 Jason Salinas: You're a Niners fan, I'm a Niners fan.

1511 0:43:36,945 --> 0:43:38,712 Jason Salinas: What do you think of those guys' chances

1512 0:43:38,752 --> 0:43:39,687 Jason Salinas: right now Is Birdie.

1513 0:43:39,827 --> 0:43:41,272 Jason Salinas: Is Birdie the real deal?

1514 0:43:42,445 --> 0:43:44,672 Jason Salinas: Because he, to me, I love watching that

1515 0:43:44,692 --> 0:43:44,873 Jason Salinas: dude.

1516 0:43:44,953 --> 0:43:45,334 Speaker 1: I do too.

1517 0:43:45,805 --> 0:43:46,718 Speaker 1: I think he's a great story.

1518 0:43:47,265 --> 0:43:50,314 Speaker 1: I think his poise and just the way he

1519 0:43:50,354 --> 0:43:52,265 Speaker 1: doesn't he's not up or he's not down, he's

1520 0:43:52,285 --> 0:43:53,169 Speaker 1: just boom dialed in.

1521 0:43:53,530 --> 0:43:54,253 Speaker 1: It's fun watching him.

1522 0:43:54,385 --> 0:43:55,330 Speaker 1: I think he's got some great stars.

1523 0:43:55,746 --> 0:43:58,054 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, my day is the 49er fan.

1524 0:43:58,145 --> 0:43:59,630 Speaker 1: Go all the way back to Dwight Clark and

1525 0:44:00,052 --> 0:44:01,267 Speaker 1: Russ Francis and Joe.

1526 0:44:01,287 --> 0:44:01,949 Speaker 1: Montana.

1527 0:44:02,009 --> 0:44:04,348 Speaker 1: Ronnie Lott Used to go to Sierra and watch

1528 0:44:04,388 --> 0:44:05,512 Speaker 1: these guys practice over here.

1529 0:44:06,185 --> 0:44:08,994 Speaker 1: I think I was literally probably 10 or 11.

1530 0:44:09,525 --> 0:44:12,635 Speaker 1: And I wrote a letter to Joe Montana.

1531 0:44:12,885 --> 0:44:14,351 Speaker 1: He think he went through a separation or

1532 0:44:14,391 --> 0:44:14,852 Speaker 1: something like that.

1533 0:44:15,145 --> 0:44:16,671 Speaker 1: I'm a partner who's roomin' with Dwight

1534 0:44:16,691 --> 0:44:18,952 Speaker 1: Clark and about a year later I get a black

1535 0:44:18,972 --> 0:44:20,268 Speaker 1: and white picture sent from each of them,

1536 0:44:20,348 --> 0:44:21,071 Speaker 1: autographed and signed.

1537 0:44:21,165 --> 0:44:22,711 Speaker 1: I have it in my office at the gym still to

1538 0:44:22,751 --> 0:44:23,152 Speaker 1: this day.

1539 0:44:23,585 --> 0:44:25,090 Speaker 1: So yeah, I've been fans of those guys for a

1540 0:44:25,130 --> 0:44:25,692 Speaker 1: long time.

1541 0:44:26,425 --> 0:44:27,510 Speaker 1: It's definitely fun and exciting to watch

1542 0:44:27,530 --> 0:44:27,610 Speaker 1: them.

1543 0:44:27,986 --> 0:44:29,170 Speaker 1: But yeah, birdie's amazing.

1544 0:44:29,371 --> 0:44:31,746 Jason Salinas: Yeah, it is A lot of history there, okay,

1545 0:44:31,766 --> 0:44:32,811 Jason Salinas: so what did I not ask you?

1546 0:44:33,668 --> 0:44:36,288 Jason Salinas: Just closing thoughts, anything I maybe I

1547 0:44:36,369 --> 0:44:37,730 Jason Salinas: didn't ask you that we need to get out.

1548 0:44:39,529 --> 0:44:39,890 Speaker 1: I don't know.

1549 0:44:41,285 --> 0:44:43,413 Speaker 1: Yeah, we got kicks for kids coming up.

1550 0:44:43,505 --> 0:44:45,151 Speaker 1: We're taking the shoes over on the 20th.

1551 0:44:46,285 --> 0:44:48,192 Speaker 1: This has grown kicks for kids over the last

1552 0:44:48,212 --> 0:44:49,247 Speaker 1: couple years so we do help.

1553 0:44:49,267 --> 0:44:51,467 Speaker 1: A couple additional causes Obviously dear

1554 0:44:51,487 --> 0:44:52,612 Speaker 1: to my hearts the children receiving home.

1555 0:44:52,705 --> 0:44:53,970 Speaker 1: So they're kind of the first ones we work

1556 0:44:53,990 --> 0:44:54,111 Speaker 1: with.

1557 0:44:54,645 --> 0:44:56,552 Speaker 1: But my goal this year was to think big and

1558 0:44:56,592 --> 0:44:57,234 Speaker 1: outside the box.

1559 0:44:57,505 --> 0:44:59,438 Speaker 1: So I set a goal for 600 pairs of shoes this

1560 0:44:59,458 --> 0:44:59,619 Speaker 1: year.

1561 0:45:00,404 --> 0:45:00,625 Speaker 1: Oh, wow.

1562 0:45:00,625 --> 0:45:02,446 Speaker 1: And so about two years ago we started

1563 0:45:02,486 --> 0:45:04,967 Speaker 1: working with Homeade as well, and Homeade

1564 0:45:05,027 --> 0:45:06,493 Speaker 1: is foster kids of Sacramento.

1565 0:45:06,625 --> 0:45:07,709 Speaker 1: They also work with some of the children

1566 0:45:07,730 --> 0:45:09,630 Speaker 1: from Weave, and so we started taking over

1567 0:45:09,705 --> 0:45:10,930 Speaker 1: about 100 pairs of shoes to them.

1568 0:45:11,506 --> 0:45:12,751 Speaker 1: And I was like, man, I wanna go big.

1569 0:45:13,568 --> 0:45:18,215 Speaker 1: So Mexicali is a mission trip that my home

1570 0:45:18,256 --> 0:45:19,404 Speaker 1: church, bayside, goes to each and every

1571 0:45:19,424 --> 0:45:21,382 Speaker 1: year, and so I said I don't get to go on

1572 0:45:21,402 --> 0:45:21,705 Speaker 1: that trip.

1573 0:45:22,453 --> 0:45:23,505 Speaker 1: Obviously I'm working, but I wanna raise

1574 0:45:24,127 --> 0:45:25,613 Speaker 1: 100 pairs of shoes to take down to these

1575 0:45:25,633 --> 0:45:25,874 Speaker 1: guys.

1576 0:45:26,792 --> 0:45:29,228 Speaker 1: And then I ended up talking with Zach, and

1577 0:45:29,529 --> 0:45:31,735 Speaker 1: Zach, philly and his brother started a

1578 0:45:31,755 --> 0:45:34,018 Speaker 1: nonprofit called X-Hope and so Zach was

1579 0:45:34,038 --> 0:45:35,613 Speaker 1: telling me about a month ago he goes.

1580 0:45:35,633 --> 0:45:36,542 Speaker 1: Hey, we got an event where my brother's

1581 0:45:36,562 --> 0:45:39,544 Speaker 1: building a school in Uganda, next to this

1582 0:45:39,564 --> 0:45:42,879 Speaker 1: church and we're basically auction off

1583 0:45:42,959 --> 0:45:44,165 Speaker 1: building classrooms.

1584 0:45:44,952 --> 0:45:46,243 Speaker 1: And so Zach had said, yeah, I purchased a

1585 0:45:46,263 --> 0:45:47,920 Speaker 1: classroom we're building and it's basically

1586 0:45:47,940 --> 0:45:49,657 Speaker 1: gonna be in his name and the history of it.

1587 0:45:49,677 --> 0:45:51,638 Speaker 1: He'll have his name up there for his legacy

1588 0:45:51,658 --> 0:45:52,305 Speaker 1: and family and stuff like that.

1589 0:45:52,814 --> 0:45:53,324 Speaker 1: That's pretty cool.

1590 0:45:53,385 --> 0:45:54,904 Speaker 1: So then, just thinking about that, I said

1591 0:45:54,924 --> 0:45:56,952 Speaker 1: Zach, I said what about sending some shoes

1592 0:45:56,992 --> 0:45:57,614 Speaker 1: to these kids?

1593 0:45:58,291 --> 0:45:58,898 Speaker 1: And he got fired up.

1594 0:45:58,918 --> 0:46:00,011 Speaker 1: He called his brother, said hey, jason's

1595 0:46:00,136 --> 0:46:01,721 Speaker 1: thinking of sending some shoes back.

1596 0:46:02,406 --> 0:46:04,803 Speaker 1: And boom, kyle was on the phone with me

1597 0:46:04,843 --> 0:46:05,125 Speaker 1: right away.

1598 0:46:05,648 --> 0:46:07,803 Speaker 1: They sent me a video just about three days

1599 0:46:07,824 --> 0:46:10,351 Speaker 1: ago that I posted where they're actually at

1600 0:46:11,655 --> 0:46:12,928 Speaker 1: the little village of where the shoes are

1601 0:46:12,948 --> 0:46:14,690 Speaker 1: gonna go, and showed the kids running

1602 0:46:14,710 --> 0:46:14,971 Speaker 1: around.

1603 0:46:15,225 --> 0:46:16,931 Speaker 1: And they said two thirds of these kids

1604 0:46:16,972 --> 0:46:18,247 Speaker 1: don't even have shoes and they'll walk

1605 0:46:18,287 --> 0:46:19,968 Speaker 1: three to five miles to church service on

1606 0:46:20,009 --> 0:46:20,310 Speaker 1: Sunday.

1607 0:46:20,765 --> 0:46:21,849 Speaker 1: So I said, dude, we're sending a hundred

1608 0:46:21,869 --> 0:46:22,512 Speaker 1: pair of shoes there.

1609 0:46:23,426 --> 0:46:25,333 Speaker 1: So we're thinking big outside the box.
