Naaman Taylor On Building Wealth As An Army Veteran-Turned-Real Estate Investor

I’m here with the Real Estate Soldier, Naaman Taylor. Naaman, thanks for stopping by.

Thanks for the invite.

Why don’t you start and tell everybody a little bit about yourself?

I was in the Army for thirteen years. I joined straight out of high school. I got into real estate investing about a decade after that. While I was in the Army, I went to Iraq and Afghanistan and did some time in Korea, Germany, and a bunch of different duty stations. I got to do a lot of traveling. That’s one of the reasons why I decided to get into real estate investing, so I could travel. After those ten years of service, I started getting a little interested in real estate. The pandemic pushed the gas pedal on that because the Army slowed down.

For years and years, I was on missions. As soon as that slowed down, I decided to educate myself on something. That was what got me started in real estate investing. Aside from that, I’m a husband, father, and friend. I pride myself on having a good social circle and a great relationship with my friends, my wife, and my new business friends and associates.

First and foremost, thank you for your service. I remember what it was like when I got out. You were probably in elementary school. I don’t even know. You were probably like eight. I start every show with a segment called the Bottom Line Up Front, the BLUF. I was in intelligence and I had to brief the commanders all the time, and they always said, “Don’t bury the lead.” Give them the bottom line up front in case the briefing needs to end. They know the most important information, and they can take action.

Imagine there’s someone about to be doing something. Their phone disconnects and they forget to finish reading. Let’s give them the most important stuff, the things that you’re seeing in the market, the things you think people should be doing, the things you think they should be avoiding, and ultimately the bottom line of the real estate market nowadays. Are you good to go? Take it away.

The information I want to share isn’t even specifically about real estate investing. It’s more don’t get lost in your business in your day to day that you forget to live a good life. Everyone gets to a point in their business where they’re feeling a little overwhelmed, in their marriage where they’re feeling a little stressed, or with their family when they’re starting to feel maybe a little neglected. Remember every day to live a very good life.

At this point, we’ve all figured out how to make a lot of money. We’ll all earn 7 or 8 figures, but ask yourself when you look in the mirror every morning, “Am I an eight-figure husband? Am I an eight-figure father? Am I an eight-figure friend?” It’s easy as an investor and as someone who sees my path of success and knows that I’m going to make a lot of money to get lost each day, and I try to find reasons each day to find myself as an eight-figure husband, father, friend, and business partner. Remember to put those that love you first. Have a good social circle, live well, and earn well.

You should trademark eight-figure. That’s powerful, but it’s also important. This business can be lonely and your social circle and truly amongst those that are doing this business successfully is small. Being a good member of that circle is important. Business-wise, what are you up to? What is your core focus, area of operations, and area of responsibility?

I’ve got a couple of different businesses and I play different roles in each one. Our smallest business is probably our rental car business. We have a bunch of cars that are on the Turo platform, and then we also rent some privately. I’m more of the money behind that company. I hired an operator to do the day-to-day on that one.

Another business that I’m more of a partner in is our education business with my friend, RJ Bates. We run a couple of different education things. We have a small community. We have Crucible that we run every quarter or so, and then we also have our house flipping business and then our whole selling company. I see both of those companies and make high-level decisions. Every now and then, I like to get on the phone and close some deals.

There is a lot to unpack there. What is the Turo platform? I have never heard of it.

It’s like Airbnb for cars, a ride-share company. You can list your personal car on there and rent it out to people. There are all different cars on there. I’m sure if you looked at it here in Dallas, you probably have some sweet cars that you could rent for a day. You can drive it around as your personal car. People fly in and the car’s delivered to you. You don’t have to book it, go wait in line at budget or whoever.

I would drive the car up to you, give it to you at the airport, hop in another car, and drive away. It’s a pretty cool little business. We run it out of Fort Sill, Oklahoma, where there’s a big base. A lot of parents are flying in to see their kids graduate. We meet them at the Oklahoma City Airport, the Wichita Falls Airport, or Lawton and give them a car for the few days they’re in town there.

You partner with RJ and you got a Facebook community. I saw you’ve got a Zoom call thing. You are doing the Crucible, which is like a 2 or 3-day in-person training event or mastermind.

That’s what I’m doing with RJ right now. We run the education. We have a community online because it’s so important to build those relationships and have people throughout the country because we do nationwide wholesale, and that’s what we teach. We have over 100 investors inside of our community right now that are signed up that are part of the crew. We do the two-day in-person education where we show you how to virtually wholesale nationwide.

It was either on Facebook or Instagram, I saw that you had taken over that old community and you were kicking people out. Education is valuable and the community is valuable and so many people want to go around the world being a sponge and taking from instead of giving to, and they’re more than happy to sit there and take your knowledge and network and not contribute back to you. I love it.

I love the community. That’s a big part of why he brought me into what he was doing. He already had proof of the product. He was already doing 50, 60, or 70 wholesale deals a month. What I had was something that he didn’t, which was community and building those deep relationships with people. That’s why we were a good fit together. That’s how we wind up gravitating toward one another.

I want to talk about the closer thing in a second. You said you have a wholesale company. Where do you wholesale?

We wholesale nationwide. We pull smaller motivated lists in a lot of different places. I text my dispo guy and he also does some of our data. I said, “Pull lists where regional hospitals are.” You were talking about that with a friend of yours and we were looking for new places to pull data. I googled it real quick. We found a pretty cool list of 350 regional hospitals. We’re going to go off of that and pull some lists. We’re hosting nationwide and there are about five markets that we’re buying in.

Tell them to pull up the American Airlines flight map. There are all the regional airports like San Angelo and there are places where American flies and typically there are jobs there that people are commuting to and from.

We’re trying to find new creative ways.

Follow infrastructure. U-Haul has a map where you can see where they’re going. We look at the one-way U-Haul rentals that tell you where people are leaving and not coming back to. You said you’re flipping houses. Where are you flipping houses?

We’re doing BRRRR strategies. I say flipping houses. We’re BRRRR-ing a few and then we’re flipping some in the major cities like San Antonio, Houston, and Fort Worth.

Up and down the I-35 corridor here.

Mainly in Texas is where we’re flipping.

Do you live in Lawton, Oklahoma?

Yes, because I got out of the Army. I’ll be moving to Fort Worth. I got out of the Army and I’m still there right now while we’re transitioning.

You had mentioned that you got the moniker Real Estate Soldier when you were doing The Closers Olympics. I saw a little bit about that. What is that?

It was a competition I got to compete in. It’s pretty funny. That was one of the first places I met RJ. I had done a Crucible. I met him and then I did The Closers Olympics the next week. I did my open run in his office and then did the competition. The Closers Olympics is all the best closers in the country get together and you call live leads. Everybody’s watching. There are about 2,000 tickets sold for it. A lot of people are watching you call and the comment sections are going crazy about what they would do and what you said. It is a high-pressure closing situation and a competition. RJ won the whole thing. It’s cool getting to work with the king closer.

Did he beat you?

Yeah, he beat me. Everybody had an idea he was going to win because he was close the year before. He had the best odds to win that year too.

When I got out of the corps, and this would’ve been many years ago, I was up for reenlistment. We were in a combat zone. My MOS had this big $50,000 lump sum bonus that would’ve all been tax-free. Ultimately, I got out because I was burned out. I got out because I had a 5-year enlistment and had done 4 years at sea, multiple different deployments in different places. I was burned out.

I told them, “I wanted to be an instructor,” and they’re like, “You’re too valuable. If you reenlist, you’re going to be deployed.” I’m like, “Never mind.” My dad was like, “Son, you don’t understand. You could do your 20 and retire at 38 and have a whole another career.” I was like, “That sounds awful.” I don’t mean to put words in your mouth, but you did thirteen years serving the country in the United States Army. I’d like to know what you did in the Army and then what led you to leave.

I know you said many years ago. You’re not old, Tim. You’re just seasoned. What I was a marksmanship instructor and an artillery instructor for a while. I ran a radar platoon for a while on a couple of deployments. That’s what I did in there. The most fun I had out of all of them was being the marksmanship instructor. I was doing a lot of pistol stuff and M4 things. It was a lot of fun at the range.

I learned a lot while I was in the Army. Once I got a taste of real estate investing and how to make money, I fell in love with generating revenue. It was a lot of fun. The personal development that was allowed to come with it, you tap out in the military at a certain point to where you’re now molding other people where it’s not about you. You’re more of leading folks now instead of growing yourself.

Once you get to that point, you’re raising soldiers and it’s a lot of fun. It’s still a cool job, but once you start making a lot of money, growing more, and realizing how much you’re leaving on the table and the potential that you can see for the rest of your life, it was an easy decision to make at the end of the day. It wasn’t that hard even though it was the only thing I had done for thirteen years. It wasn’t that hard to leave it. I know some people have a hard time letting go of that lifestyle and that regimented life. It was easy for me to let go not because of the money but because of the potential I could see myself in my personal development.

There’s an organization that was part of the Veterans Affairs called TAP. It’s for children and families who have dealt with trauma. We’re talking gold star children. Unfortunately, suicide is wrecking the ranks of the US Armed Forces. I had signed up because they’re short on volunteers. They don’t have enough people willing to help these children. I was filling out the form because they are starting a Dallas chapter and I signed up to be a volunteer to help facilitate. It was very interesting there. It talked about not calling them loved ones. Let the child drive that.

We then talked about how many of them weren’t dealing with combat death. We’re dealing with a suicide. It was amazing. I’m not trying to bring the mood down. I’m going somewhere with this. I’m of the mindset that we as a country do not do enough for the vets and the active duty. When I think about it, when I got out, I sold life insurance for a year. I put my resumé on MilitaryHire.com and I got hired by one of those boiler room operations. It was amazing to me when I made $6,000 in a week. As a sergeant in combat, I made $1,810 a month and got the extra $100.

When you look at what we pay our military, and when you look at the money that’s out there and you look at the money that in resources that we spend in other countries, I’m not against that. What most military people want is a sense of self-worth. If you tap out and you’re not on a mission anymore, it’s difficult. We won’t get any further into that unless you want to add some, but I found it interesting that there are all these young kids that need help and there’s nobody helping them.

This is where I was going. Sharing your story of finding more of a purpose outside while you were inside, we, as a nation, through Instagram and social media, can help share that these vets can find purpose outside of what they’re doing and they can let maybe their service be something they did and not necessarily who they are.

There are a few reasons why I do podcasts. That’s one of them. I feel like it’s also my responsibility to share what it is that I’m doing because most of the reason why everyone doesn’t do this is that they don’t know about It. I did my time for eleven years before I knew about investing in real estate. It’s an exposure problem.

You can see someone that looks, talks, did something you did, was in the Army, came from Cleveland, Ohio, was only making $50,000 a year for a decade and this person can become a millionaire. This person can be on track to make $1 billion. If this person can change everyone’s lives that they’re connected with, why can’t you? You can see the similarities. That’s why I share on these podcasts. That’s why I get on here. That’s the main reason.

The money’s great and people say money won’t make you happy, but it sure does let you help your family. Here I am, many years in the business and I’m hopeful that neither of my children will get into real estate. Ultimately, it’s hard work. I want to teach my children to be investors, not only real estate investors. I want to teach them to invest in companies. I want to teach them to invest in people. I want to teach them to invest in startups. I want to teach them to invest in large transactions.

You said you want to share and show them that’s here. It is the type of thing that a Marine that never went to a college and didn’t finish any of it could trip into it. It’s not for everybody. I finished bowling. That’s a class that I finished. That’s why I like what you and RJ teach. It’s velocity. You can get in there, put your hard work in, and get fast cash and there are not a lot of real estate strategies that allow you to do that.

I want to share this because we’ve talked a handful of times now. We were in Florida together. I listened to you talk every time. When we were in Florida together, what you said to me was about becoming a billionaire. Not only that, your sons, what their responsibility is going to be to become trillionaires. I thought about that on my ride up here because I was like, “I’m not going to prep much for this because I know I can talk to Tim. I have some points I want to get across.” What you said to me about how your sons will be managing trillions, I thought about where I was in high school. The school I went to and how I lived and how drastically different that’s going to be.

I have a young daughter. I think about how drastically different that’s going to be for her in several years. The difference in lifestyle from one generation, what one generation can do. That’s why I don’t give all the guys a hard time that won’t go all the way in for it. We all know Ed Mylett. He says, “Be the one in your family.” Don’t kind of be the one. Don’t kind of do it. Not everybody can get exposed to this information and you only have one life. It’s your responsibility now as the one in your family to go all the way and do it, not kind of do it.

There are some people that don’t want all of it, but if you have the information and you have the capabilities, you should do it because you don’t know if your children are going to be able to do it, even if they have the capabilities to do it. If they’re going to be exposed to the information in 15 or 20 years, it’s going to help them get there. I’m going to go for it. I’m going to do it for my family. I’m 100% going to be the one, not kind of the one to give them some money. We’re going to go way over the top of some of this stuff.

I’ve learned from you. If you’re a vet out there and you’re reading, you need to find me and Naaman on Instagram and DM us The One. I won’t tell you what, but we’ll make sure that you have the opportunity to be the one and get you back on a mission. It’s all about being on a mission as a vet. I did not intend this to be a veteran’s episode, but it is right now. If you read all the way to here, DM me or him The One, and then we’ll figure the rest out. We’ll have to figure out how we’re going to help them.

Whether it’s information access, proximity, the next event, or a call, we’ll figure something out.

Next is the Money Minute. It’s a little different. Some people take it one way, some people stay in real estate, and some people go into personal development. It doesn’t matter. Imagine there’s a young entrepreneur, a young soldier, a young somebody, or an old somebody that they’re not getting what they want out of life. This is the only 60 seconds of advice they’re going to get all month. They’re going to read this and then be dead to the world. Dial up your best stuff because the Money Minute starts right now. Let’s go.

One of the things I want to share here for the Money Minute, and this is something from the podcast I listened to that said, “You’re best set to serve the person you once were.” I want to talk to the person that I once was, and right now in the real estate industry and market nowadays, one thing I wish I had learned when I first got started was creative finance. I would’ve learned how to do the sub-to deals. I would’ve learned how to do the RAP deals. I would’ve learned seller finance.

I would say for someone who is getting into this industry or knows a little bit about how to do cash deals, get proximity to people that know creative finance because these deals are coming. These deals can change your life for the long haul and the short term. There are so many different extra strategies when it comes to this finance in this industry. Take the time to learn those deals. Do not get in a rush to make a ton of money and you will be successful.

Creative finance got me through ‘08 and ‘09. We had all these rentals that we had kept. We kept them because no one else would buy them. Money was so easy to get in ’06 and ‘07 and then the layoffs started to happen. The jobs start getting lost. Before you know it, these are the houses people don’t want to live in either as rentals. We would start owner financing them because we were so out of money that we needed the down payment so that we could pay our payments.

Ultimately, selling those notes propelled me into some other things years later that ended up snowballing. I completely agree. We are entering a time where truly flat markets are the best markets. Declining markets are hard because you’re always trying to lead people down. Rising markets are hard because you’re trying to catch up. Those declining markets, I love them personally because you’re able to capitalize on a little bit of surety that you have from running math and having discipline. Also, a little anxiousness, not desperation. Anxiousness on the part of the seller. Will it sell? I’m not sure. I completely agree. This is going to be a good time for creative finance.

I want to back up because I got to know you at Kent Clothier’s Scale & Escape. We talked a lot about wealth. I don’t like putting a lot of numbers on it, but ultimately, if you’re not trying to grow your net worth and you’re not creating new wealth, it’s my opinion that you’re doing a good disservice to your family. Your car business is a revenue business. That’s an income business. Vehicles, in general, don’t appreciate.

It’s liquid. If I needed to get rid of all those cars, I could probably sell them all. That’s why we parked some cash there.

The education business is revenue. I’ve never heard of anyone selling a real estate education business. It may happen. I don’t know. I find it hard for to believe someone buys a wholesaling business because it’s so leader dependent. Hearing you talk and knowing what you say, your focus, and your passion, we’re led right back to that flipping BRRRR business. What do your goals look like? You’re still relatively new in the business. What are some of the challenges you have in growing your wealth in real estate and what are some things that you’ve learned to overcome them?

I’ve been doing this for a few years and you’re right. I called Kent to help me figure out my deal with RJ and my own company. He straight up told me, “Nobody buys that stuff.” Understand that you need to make your money on sales. Don’t worry so much about equity in those companies. I keep that in mind even whenever maybe I’m brokering a new deal with somebody else to partner up or something like that. How important is equity in some of these companies?

It’s an ego thing sometimes. I make the money. That’s one thing that I wanted to share because I think that’s a very valuable lesson that I had to pay a lot of money to give that phone call. I want to give that away. I want to give that to some folks. What was the original question? I wanted to share that before I lost it.

What are some things that are either struggles or challenges of growing your wealth? What are some things you maybe figured out that you could help people with?

I started all this real estate investing when I was living in Germany. I was living in my barracks room in Germany and I watched 200 BiggerPockets episodes. I was like, “I can BRRRR a house in DFW.” That’s where I picked to do it as well. It’s funny. I did the BRRRR strategy. Those were the first things that I did. I’m so glad that I did because the market went pretty crazy when I was buying houses.

I was buying houses in DFW for like $50,0000, putting $20,000 into them, and they’re worth $150,000. Houses are worth $250,000, $300,000, whatever. That was the first thing that I did as an entry-level into this business. It was the BRRRR strategy. The market changed. I got into wholesaling and house flipping and now the market’s changing again.

I’m so glad that I know all of these industries, flipping, wholesaling, and BRRRR because I can analyze the deal quickly. If you want to build wealth, I would say you need to know how to do all of it because you can make money off of every single one of those deals. You’ll be able to wholesale deals you don’t want. You can BRRRR houses you want to keep and you can flip houses that’ll make you the biggest net spread. That’s my goal.

Those are the things that I’m doing right now to build wealth outside of a few of these other smaller companies that we’re running to generate more revenue for some of the money that we’re making. Those are the core companies that I’m always going to have, which are wholesaling and house-flipping companies. That’s what I’m doing to build wealth right now.

Let’s get into some rapid-fire. Why Dallas or DFW?

I was listening to those podcasts when I was living in Germany and one of the people that I resonated with was Josiah and I watched two of his episodes. He was a professor. He was an appraisal guy. He’s not your average, “I can show you how to make $10,000 in 10 days.” I was like, “I’m hiring this dude.” He didn’t offer any education services or anything. I inboxed him and I’m like, “Josiah, what can I do to get your tutelage, Prof?” He was a professor. I paid him like $100 to get on a couple of phone calls with me in Germany. The time was all jacked up trying to figure out the right time to talk to this guy. He’s busy.

We started that relationship over the phone. Through him, I was able to tap into his network and he was buying and holding in Fort Worth. Naturally, I gravitated toward using his contractors, his wholesalers, and his property management. That’s how it started in Fort Worth. I did one deal and with him first and before that deal was even rented, I had enough proof of concept because it was fixed up. I did five more. I was like, “Let’s do five more of these things.” I ended up buying a bunch of houses here in Fort Worth when I was living in Germany.

Your roommate in Germany had to think you were nuts, right?

Correct. I split that first phone call. It wasn’t my roommate, but it was a buddy I spent a lot of time with. We split the first phone call with Josiah, $50 each because I was like, “$100 is a lot of money.”

How’d you get him to agree? Did you make the offer of $100?

I DMed him and he said, “For an hour, it’d be $100.” He didn’t offer anything. Now I’m looking back and I’m like, “This was the cheapest.”

This is very important. Did you say, “Can I pick your brain?” or did you offer to pay?

I said, “Do you offer any coaching? I listened to your BiggerPockets episode and I love to do what you’ve already done,” or something like that.

You asked him to sell you something, but you didn’t ask him to do anything for free. Are you guys still connected now?

Yes. This guy had his goals set. He hit his goals. He had a pretty popular podcast. He had a bunch of rentals. He sold a lot of his rentals and got into the short-term rental area. He hit me up on a phone call. He said, “I’m traveling with my family. We sold a bunch of stuff and I’ve hit my FI numbers and I’m out. You can reach me over email. This phone’s probably going to be off soon too.” I thought that was so cool. I was like, “He’s not here for the rat race.”

He’s not been here for a target, a fictional figure target, or 9 or 10 figures. He’s like, “I have my number.” Ultimately, you know how much is enough.

He hit it and he was gone. I was like, “freaking cool, man.” He can just go.

Where are you in ten years?

People ask me that a lot. I try not to go further out than a year mainly because I try to crush all the goals that I set as fast as I can. Ten years is hard. I don’t know, $100 million is a number, maybe. Hanging out with my wife and kids. Most of these businesses are automated, I would imagine. I’m trying to spend more time with my family and my kids and grow my marriage more. That’s something that’s important to me. It’s hard to go that far out for me. Some people write it down and stuff, but it changes so often.

I don’t believe in writing it down. I write down short-term goals. I don’t write down long-term goals. I have long-term focuses. Years from now, when my kid graduates high school, I know I’m going to travel a lot with my wife, probably full-time. I don’t know if it’s going to be in Europe or Canada or if we’re going to own it or if it’s going to be on a boat or by then, we may be able to take a spaceship somewhere.

It all changes so much. It’s hard for me to think outside of two years. I watch what I did in two years, from nothing besides living in a barracks room in Germany with ten years under my belt in the Army to what I’m doing now. I go, “Okay, now that I have this and I have all these connections, I know guys like Tim, RJ, and all these people. What can’t I do in two years? How fast can we do some more stuff?”

It’s hard to estimate the compound of growth that you’ll experience.

I have no idea.

I like that answer. That’s maybe the best ten-year goal we’ve had on the show. It’s like, “I don’t know. I can’t see past one because I’m going to crush one. Maybe what I was thinking from my ten-year now is my two-year.”

People underestimate what they can do in a year.

Especially with compounded effort.

These podcasts open up an opportunity for you to make relationships. If people can come on here, they can answer your questions, they can shake your hand, and they can leave. They can have a conversation with you that opens up an even further conversation in the next lunch, dinner, or business together. How are we adding value to attending more? That’s another reason why I do this.

I keep putting a post on social media that people can come up here and so far, we’ve had 2 or 3 people come up and it’s always funny to me. People will DM me and ask me to help them. They could sit here. They could have sat here for two hours with some of the most successful people I know and the most influential piece of the people I know. They could have been hanging out with you for an hour and a half while you were waiting for your turn. People got to put themselves out like that DM that you sent. That’s where I’m going. If you’re reading and you want to have more, you have to ask for more and you have to be willing to do more.

Become a good asker. I lived in Vilseck, Germany, which none of you have ever heard of. I live in Lawton, Oklahoma, which none of you have ever heard of. Most people have never heard of Lawton. It’s the armpit of Oklahoma. Somehow, I’ve managed to find myself in rooms. You’ve seen Titanic. I’m continuously trying to be Jack at the dinner table where it’s like you got the new money lady, all the old money, and then Jack. I’m like, “How can I be Jack everywhere that I go? How can I keep doing this?” I did that through the DMs, through the Zooms.

We live in a virtual world now. COVID completely changed everything and you can get connected to these high-level individuals, influencers, and people via Zoom masterminds. The proximity doesn’t have to be just inside this room. There are so many other places that build relationships and community. You just have to put yourself out there and tap in and you can do It.

It’s interesting. The way you get at those tables is by adding value and by not trying to get for free but to offer to give. You have to make that ask. I didn’t know a thing about your business when we had dinner together. I don’t even remember how that ended up happening, but you impressed me during the day. I think you came up and said, “Let’s mic you up.” I was like, “All right.” It meant a lot to me. It strokes your ego a little bit. It gives me an opportunity to exponentially do what I was there to do anyway. I like to share with people. That’s a great place to end. You got to be willing to tap in. Too many people tap out. They don’t tap in.

The reason why I mic you up is that as a leader in this industry, it’s our responsibility to show people how to deserve our time. We can’t do that with one conversation at a time. That’s why I do a lot of social media. I don’t give my time to people that need it. I give my time to people that deserve it. I don’t want anybody to ever say, “I didn’t know what you were doing. Why didn’t you give me a call? Why didn’t you text me?” It’s all over my Instagram. Tim is all on my Instagram. The guys that are high-level are all on it. We do reels together. You can see right there on your phone, wherever you are in the world, what’s happening here, what this person does, and how to connect with them.

No one can ever hit me up and say, “Naaman, you never told me that you were working with Tim, that I could get hard money loans, buy houses nationwide, and how to wholesale.” I’m like, “All of it’s documented.” I don’t send letters anymore. If you’re not reaching out yourself, you’re doing yourself a disservice. I’ve shown you how to deserve my time online. Now it’s your responsibility to bring some value.

If someone is out there and they want to get in touch with you, how do they do so?

Instagram’s the best way, @NaamanTaylorInvestor. I answer all the DMs. I get it back to everybody.

Do you answer all the DMs?

Every single one of them, except for the ones where they’re trying to sell me on the blue check.

Also, if they tell you that you look pretty?

I answer those too.

Thank you for your time.

Thank you.

I appreciate it. I’m grateful you’re here. Thank you for your service. That’s it. Remember, your network is your net worth and you have been growing both. We’ll see you next time.
