25
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,959
remember get our free mobile app. It's available over on

26
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:39,200
our website over on fasttrackssystem dot com f A S

27
00:01:39,239 --> 00:01:42,200
T t R A x S Y S t E

28
00:01:42,359 --> 00:01:46,319
M dot com. Just like it sounds, fast tracks System

29
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,079
t R A X not t R A c k okay,

30
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,159
and go there. In another navigation, you will see that

31
00:01:52,239 --> 00:01:55,840
we have a mobile app. The mobile app is awesome because, uh,

32
00:01:55,879 --> 00:01:58,439
if you register on the app again, you have to register.

33
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,319
It's a separate thing. If you register, then you get

34
00:02:01,319 --> 00:02:04,760
access to check. That means that the app is exclusive

35
00:02:05,319 --> 00:02:07,319
for not only anybody wants to get it, but to

36
00:02:07,719 --> 00:02:11,759
use some of the features, you register and then as

37
00:02:11,759 --> 00:02:15,360
you register, you get to kind of chime in in

38
00:02:15,439 --> 00:02:17,639
the chats and it's only available to all of you

39
00:02:17,719 --> 00:02:19,479
that register on the mobile app.

40
00:02:20,039 --> 00:02:21,199
Speaker 2: So that is very unique.

41
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 3: That's why all of our websites and everything we do

42
00:02:23,879 --> 00:02:26,719
is independent. For example, if you get a course from

43
00:02:26,759 --> 00:02:29,879
us or you buy something from us on fastracksystem dot com,

44
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,960
that username and everything does not work on fasttrackstube dot com.

45
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,479
That's a totally separate product. So you register over there

46
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,240
and you can use the same info if you want,

47
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,800
but you got to register again. And if you get

48
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,639
our mobile app, you have to register again. On the

49
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,479
mobile app their button at the very top, you just

50
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,960
go and register. The reason we do that is it

51
00:02:51,039 --> 00:02:53,680
keeps all of our products separate. Because we have people

52
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,400
that buy our fast tracks tube that aren't in our

53
00:02:56,439 --> 00:02:59,159
programs and that's fine. Now we have people that want

54
00:02:59,159 --> 00:03:01,599
to use the app but aren't really members of our

55
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:06,000
courses or are you subscribers to fasttracks too, but they

56
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,759
love to use the app, and so again, because we're

57
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,960
always adding things to the app, and.

58
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,039
Speaker 2: So it's just a easy.

59
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 3: Way to do it rather than get it muddy between

60
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,919
the different company projects that we have going on. And

61
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,719
of course the same goes for trade for trade Hog.

62
00:03:23,159 --> 00:03:25,639
If you're subscribing to our trade Hog, which is the

63
00:03:26,319 --> 00:03:32,240
latest and greatest AI model for contractors and businesses in construction,

64
00:03:33,439 --> 00:03:36,560
then that is separate as well. That is not intertwined

65
00:03:36,599 --> 00:03:39,639
with the other sites because they're all separate. Standalans. Okay,

66
00:03:40,439 --> 00:03:42,800
all right, Oh so anyway, Hey, I got a special

67
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,280
announcement that I wanted to do on this episode and

68
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,479
is letting everybody know that come this summer of twenty

69
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:55,560
twenty five, we are going to be doing two live

70
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:03,400
webinars in Virginia and for CEU Credit for Virginia. Uh

71
00:04:03,439 --> 00:04:05,800
And so we're right now we're picking the venues. We

72
00:04:05,919 --> 00:04:07,479
have to work through that, but it's gonna be two

73
00:04:07,479 --> 00:04:08,960
of them. It's gonna be one that's going to be

74
00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:14,240
basically taking the state and drawing a line right down

75
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:19,199
the middle. So we're probably gonna have something maybe Richmond

76
00:04:19,399 --> 00:04:22,439
to Manassas area, that type of thing for the east coast,

77
00:04:23,079 --> 00:04:26,160
maybe even you know, something between Virginia Beach. Try to

78
00:04:26,199 --> 00:04:30,639
find something that is kind of central and then also

79
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,040
do something on the West side as well, like Roanoke

80
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,160
areas and and out that that way in the past

81
00:04:36,199 --> 00:04:38,920
we used to do years ago when I helped create

82
00:04:38,959 --> 00:04:42,600
the Continuing Education Requirement for Virginia, which with Eric Olsen

83
00:04:42,639 --> 00:04:45,800
who worked with dp o R, I was the original,

84
00:04:45,879 --> 00:04:50,040
the first ever CEU provider. And since then, you know,

85
00:04:50,079 --> 00:04:53,399
there's a lot of providers. I think what makes my

86
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,120
live events different and those that maybe are still in

87
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,560
the trade that remember when I did Lives, is that

88
00:05:00,639 --> 00:05:04,000
there's a lot of interaction. I try to make it enjoyable.

89
00:05:04,079 --> 00:05:07,279
You will not sleep during one of my live shows,

90
00:05:08,199 --> 00:05:13,160
and we really the ability to answer people's questions on

91
00:05:13,199 --> 00:05:14,639
the fly is something that I take a lot of

92
00:05:14,639 --> 00:05:18,800
pride in and so I do that on these shows.

93
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,439
And everybody knows that I'm a past Mike Holt top gun,

94
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,800
So again that tells you the endorsement of my stage

95
00:05:26,959 --> 00:05:29,959
presence is totally you know up there, and I've been

96
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,199
doing it for decades. And again, it's just a great time.

97
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,560
And you just bring your codebook. We'll give you a

98
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,160
handout of the slides and uh yeah, it's a great

99
00:05:41,199 --> 00:05:45,560
time to you know, get your CEU credits. It's a

100
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:50,720
three hour webinars. Excuse me, seminars keep saying webinar, but

101
00:05:50,759 --> 00:05:53,879
we're out of the COVID thing now, so it's seminars

102
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,800
that I do, and I'm also available. I'm also doing

103
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:02,000
a private some private stuff for some some companies around

104
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:07,279
here that have quite a few employees. So right now

105
00:06:07,319 --> 00:06:10,040
a couple I have schedules of just knowledge only, but

106
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,480
come this summer, we're going to be offering the CEUs.

107
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,360
And again, obviously you don't have to use US. I mean,

108
00:06:17,439 --> 00:06:20,079
there's plenty of options out there. There's online options, even

109
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,519
our website. You can go for like forty five bucks,

110
00:06:22,519 --> 00:06:26,240
you can get your CEUs. Pricing wise, we're looking for

111
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,240
the live show. It's going to be one hundred dollars

112
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:33,720
because again we'll have a lot invested in it doing it.

113
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,879
So again it's going to be one hundred dollars. Is

114
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,360
this flat fee you can pay in advance or pay

115
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,639
at the door, whatever, And we're going to give you your

116
00:06:44,639 --> 00:06:47,680
money's worth. I really am. I'm going to give you

117
00:06:47,759 --> 00:06:50,240
a lot of code, but I'm also going to break

118
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,279
it down for you so you understand it. It doesn't

119
00:06:52,319 --> 00:06:54,480
do any good to have some educators who just kind

120
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,600
of read along and they don't really have the ability

121
00:06:57,639 --> 00:06:59,040
to get into it.

122
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 2: Now most people, no.

123
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 3: I've been serving on code making panels for many, many

124
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:07,560
years now, multiple cycles, and you know my specialty is

125
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,800
obviously grounding and bonding aspects. I love that part of

126
00:07:10,839 --> 00:07:13,920
the of the National Electrical Code Article two fifty and

127
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:18,560
two hundred and how it sprinkles its knowledge throughout the NEEC.

128
00:07:19,319 --> 00:07:21,720
But again, I've worked at a very high level with

129
00:07:21,839 --> 00:07:25,399
NIMA as well as large manufacturers.

130
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:26,319
Speaker 2: And I've been.

131
00:07:28,199 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 3: The supervisor and the engineer too for municipalities here in Virginia.

132
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,399
So I give kind of a well rounded approach on

133
00:07:37,439 --> 00:07:40,879
how to deliver the National Electrical Code. So if you're

134
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,480
out there and you're in Virginia or you're in Maryland

135
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,879
you have a Virginia license, or if you're in DC

136
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:47,800
and you have a Virginia license and you need to

137
00:07:47,839 --> 00:07:49,279
get your CEUs.

138
00:07:49,639 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 2: You have many options.

139
00:07:51,279 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 3: But I'm going to say, you know what, let's take

140
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:57,439
a day and let's suspend it together, make it fun,

141
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:03,079
and come out in and enjoy spending the day with us.

142
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,879
Bring your lunch. We're just gonna do three hours, so

143
00:08:05,879 --> 00:08:08,680
we typically don't don't provide any type of food, okay,

144
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,680
and again it's only three hours.

145
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 2: I tend to sometimes do what's.

146
00:08:14,839 --> 00:08:17,879
Speaker 3: Called a piggyback, And what a piggyback means is you

147
00:08:17,879 --> 00:08:21,240
can do the webinar for one for the three hours

148
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,600
to get your CEUs, but then if you pay an

149
00:08:23,639 --> 00:08:28,199
additional twenty five, then I also do an additional hour

150
00:08:28,279 --> 00:08:32,600
on grounding and bonding a specific topic, maybe service bonding,

151
00:08:32,639 --> 00:08:35,320
that type of thing, is kind of a bonus that

152
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,679
is very affordable, and you can choose to stay for

153
00:08:37,759 --> 00:08:40,399
that or not, and you'll be able to do that

154
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,840
when you sign up. Maybe you just want to get

155
00:08:42,879 --> 00:08:45,080
your CEUs and that's it, no problem. We'll give you

156
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,639
a certificate, we'll take all your information and we'll we'll

157
00:08:48,759 --> 00:08:52,519
upload it. The other thing to remember is that in Virginia,

158
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:57,120
the online stuff now requires you to take a exam

159
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,799
or quiz, So that's huge. If you do in person,

160
00:09:00,879 --> 00:09:04,799
you do not if you do it online or correspondence,

161
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:06,799
then you're gonna have to take a quiz and you're

162
00:09:06,799 --> 00:09:08,639
gonna have to pass it. And if you don't pay attention.

163
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,960
I'm gonna tell you from my experience because I sampled

164
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:19,840
them before and the questions are tough. They're they're very ambiguous,

165
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:24,759
and so again it's very easy to potentially fail these.

166
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,840
So you do not have to do that in person.

167
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,080
Plus you get to ask questions, you get to interact

168
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,279
with me. I'd love to see you a lot of

169
00:09:33,279 --> 00:09:35,159
times in the past people want me to sign their

170
00:09:35,159 --> 00:09:38,639
codebooks where the code panel five or code panel seventeen is.

171
00:09:38,639 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 2: I love to do it. I love to interact with you.

172
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,879
Speaker 3: Sometimes we do have some swag there, we we you know,

173
00:09:44,919 --> 00:09:47,360
we'll have the trade hog demo there and all this

174
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,240
kind of stuff. We'd love to catch up with you

175
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,039
and meet you. So if you're in Virginia, if you're

176
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,720
in Maryland, if you're in d C and you hold

177
00:09:56,759 --> 00:10:00,399
a Virginia license, we love to catch up up with you,

178
00:10:00,519 --> 00:10:05,200
and hopefully you'll attend some of our live events here

179
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,919
in Virginia, So we're excited about that. Now, where are

180
00:10:07,919 --> 00:10:10,679
we going to post these? Just so you know, this

181
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:15,679
will be posted over on our website, fasttracksystem dot Com

182
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,120
in the events, so you'll see it when it's available

183
00:10:19,399 --> 00:10:21,720
and you can you can even purchase directly from there

184
00:10:21,759 --> 00:10:24,279
to get your name there. If you want to purchase

185
00:10:24,279 --> 00:10:27,799
online ahead of time or again, you can pay at

186
00:10:27,799 --> 00:10:30,360
the door. That'd be fine too, don't We don't have

187
00:10:30,399 --> 00:10:34,159
any problem with that. The only thing is at the

188
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,279
door we want cash exactly because we don't want to

189
00:10:37,279 --> 00:10:40,120
get into having to swipe. It slows down the registration.

190
00:10:40,279 --> 00:10:43,360
So just remember, bring cash. We'll give you a receipt.

191
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,480
We turn in everything so we keep track of it all.

192
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,120
So but at the at the end of the day,

193
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,679
I think that there's nothing that can really take the

194
00:10:55,759 --> 00:11:01,639
place of a live seminars es actually one that's more dynamic.

195
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:06,159
There are some extremely boring seminars out there. I get it,

196
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,200
But I can promise you something. If you've ever watched

197
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,440
my videos, or have you ever listened to my podcast,

198
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,440
or you've ever been to a coffee hour, or have

199
00:11:13,519 --> 00:11:17,279
you ever had some type of interaction with me, then

200
00:11:18,759 --> 00:11:21,480
you know that I am not going to let you

201
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,759
sleep right. I'm not going to let you goes off.

202
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:30,799
It's going to be three hours of action packed code changes,

203
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:35,080
talking about the changes, giving you some real scenarios, real situations,

204
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,840
some that you can tangibly take back with you to

205
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,480
everybody that works for you. It's not just about you

206
00:11:40,519 --> 00:11:43,399
getting your CEO credits. I believe that when you go

207
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,399
to a seminar that you need to leave with something.

208
00:11:48,039 --> 00:11:50,279
You need to leave with a tidbit of knowledge that's

209
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,639
going to make you better than the moment you walked

210
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,840
in the door. And I really do not feel like

211
00:11:56,919 --> 00:12:01,080
I've accomplished that unless I make a massive effort to

212
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,480
make it happen right, And that's what I do with

213
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,440
every seminar that I did for years, and there are

214
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:13,720
folks out there who attended my seminars in Virginia, and

215
00:12:13,759 --> 00:12:18,639
you know that was fifteen years ago that I last

216
00:12:18,759 --> 00:12:23,960
did a live seminar in Virginia. So us moving the

217
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,480
corporation back here to Virginia really allowed us to now

218
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,559
be able to get back to my first love, and

219
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,919
that is being out with individuals and being out and

220
00:12:34,639 --> 00:12:39,200
teaching on a stage and being able to answer those

221
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,840
questions for folks, real pressing questions that you may have.

222
00:12:43,799 --> 00:12:47,399
And that's what I missed it and so I'm able

223
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,759
to do that now. These will typically be on a weekends,

224
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:52,600
so yes, it is meaning that you're going to take

225
00:12:52,639 --> 00:12:55,840
of your time. A lot of times people want these

226
00:12:55,879 --> 00:12:58,240
things to take place during the week so they can

227
00:12:58,279 --> 00:13:02,080
take off from work. I'm a I gotta remember people

228
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,039
have to remember I'm a business owner as well, and

229
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,320
I'm also been a contractor for years, and.

230
00:13:07,879 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 2: I just I want people that realizes that I need

231
00:13:11,879 --> 00:13:12,639
to do this for me.

232
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 3: It's not for me as the owner. It's not my

233
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,919
employees that I want to give them time off. I

234
00:13:17,919 --> 00:13:20,080
don't want to give them time off for that. That's

235
00:13:20,159 --> 00:13:23,440
just me and I never wanted to do that for

236
00:13:24,039 --> 00:13:27,240
when I was younger for my employer, and I did

237
00:13:27,279 --> 00:13:29,919
not want my guys to I wanted them to do it.

238
00:13:29,919 --> 00:13:33,360
It's your license. It's not my life. It's not as

239
00:13:33,399 --> 00:13:35,559
a contractor. If you work for me and you're an

240
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,799
electrician and you need to get renewals, it's not my responsibility.

241
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:40,919
Speaker 2: That's your license.

242
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 3: Okay, you need to maintain a license to work for me,

243
00:13:45,039 --> 00:13:47,679
and so it's on you. So I don't want to

244
00:13:47,799 --> 00:13:51,440
pay you on my dime. I want you to take

245
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,679
the initiative on your dime on your Saturday. Okay, three hours,

246
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,159
that's it. If you want to stay for the additional

247
00:13:58,159 --> 00:14:03,000
grounding and bonding mini seminar, that's fine because I answer

248
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,600
a lot of questions about grinding and bonding that drive

249
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:10,279
people crazy. In fact, I pick those things intentionally to

250
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,919
make sure that when you walk away from that, you

251
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:18,159
understand the basic core concepts of service supply, type of

252
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,879
bonding and all those things that are critically important, and

253
00:14:20,919 --> 00:14:24,679
you understand the nuances of grinding and bonding. That's important

254
00:14:24,679 --> 00:14:26,919
to me. That's why I add that extra in there

255
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,600
for such a great price, since we're already there anyway,

256
00:14:30,519 --> 00:14:34,120
that's totally totally up to you that you want to.

257
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,879
Speaker 2: Do that, So.

258
00:14:38,399 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 3: Dates wise, I can't tell you the dates. All I'm

259
00:14:41,039 --> 00:14:45,360
telling you is to mark your calendar. Go to our website,

260
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,679
make sure you keep checking it. You'll hear me do

261
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,679
a podcast in the future, so make sure you're subscribing

262
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,360
if you stumble on this. This is the first of

263
00:14:54,759 --> 00:14:58,279
March of twenty twenty five, so I'm giving you enough

264
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:02,639
time to know that it comes summer, we're going to

265
00:15:02,639 --> 00:15:08,200
be doing some continuing ed throughout Virginia and it's going

266
00:15:08,279 --> 00:15:10,600
to be very limited. I do not want to have

267
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,440
thousand people. It's going to be very limited. Personally, I

268
00:15:14,639 --> 00:15:18,559
like anything that is at least fifteen up.

269
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 2: To one hundred.

270
00:15:19,399 --> 00:15:22,639
Speaker 3: I mean some of you might say, well, gosh, only fifteen. Hey,

271
00:15:23,159 --> 00:15:25,480
I've done private sessions for people for fifteen.

272
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:27,759
Speaker 2: You know it's okay with me.

273
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,919
Speaker 3: But ideally we want to try to get anywhere from

274
00:15:33,639 --> 00:15:36,480
fifty to one hundred people, and we don't want to

275
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:40,000
really go over one hundred because then it's not as intimate.

276
00:15:40,639 --> 00:15:42,679
And that used to never be a problem. Although I

277
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:46,000
know today there's a lot more resources for getting your CEOs,

278
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:46,799
whether it's.

279
00:15:46,639 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 2: Online, but this is unique.

280
00:15:48,639 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 3: This is an event where you get to get out,

281
00:15:51,039 --> 00:15:52,840
you get to go somewhere, you get to mingle with

282
00:15:52,879 --> 00:15:57,080
the other tradesmen trades women, and you come together and

283
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:58,879
we have a good old session. We learn the National

284
00:15:58,919 --> 00:16:03,879
Megical Code. And again remember the in person ones don't

285
00:16:03,919 --> 00:16:07,200
require you to take an exam or quizzes after every unit.

286
00:16:08,279 --> 00:16:11,639
The ones online there is literally a quiz that you

287
00:16:11,759 --> 00:16:16,360
have to pass after every unit, and something that ends

288
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,559
up taking that you think would take you three hours

289
00:16:18,679 --> 00:16:21,559
is going to take you five and six hours. So

290
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,759
they're in person ones, no exams required. Okay, so that's

291
00:16:25,759 --> 00:16:27,960
important for those that don't want to take the exam.

292
00:16:28,679 --> 00:16:33,519
But beyond that, the ability to interact, to ask questions,

293
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:38,320
to have somebody communicate with you about the National Electrical Code.

294
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,720
It's still today the best way. It's just no doubt

295
00:16:42,799 --> 00:16:46,799
today it's still the best way to communicate. Code changes

296
00:16:47,279 --> 00:16:51,639
give you perspectives and really ensure that when you walk

297
00:16:51,679 --> 00:16:55,440
away that you take away something, that you learn something

298
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,399
you do. Those online ones you just go buy it.

299
00:16:57,559 --> 00:17:00,399
I mean I sell them, I mean I'll sell to you.

300
00:17:00,399 --> 00:17:03,919
They're online, but I'm being honest with you, there is

301
00:17:04,039 --> 00:17:08,200
nothing like and in person still it is nothing like it.

302
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,319
Speaker 2: As the old folks will say, it's nothing like.

303
00:17:10,279 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 3: A face to face I'm just saying, and I know

304
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,880
time is precious, but again, three hours of your life

305
00:17:17,079 --> 00:17:22,079
to enrich it, understand the code, ask questions, interact with me.

306
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:23,039
Speaker 2: You'll make my day.

307
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:27,799
Speaker 3: I enjoy meeting people and things like that, and so yeah,

308
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,720
I'm looking forward to it. So for all you out there,

309
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,960
just a quick heads up again, be tuned in late.

310
00:17:34,519 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 2: I will be bringing back our.

311
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:42,039
Speaker 3: Seminars to Virginia in the summer of twenty twenty five.

312
00:17:42,559 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 2: How about that?

313
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 3: All right, folks, that's all I really wanted to announce

314
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,359
and let you know, and we're excited about it.

315
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 2: So that's today's podcast.

316
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,839
Speaker 3: If you're with any Earshot of Virginia, make sure you

317
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,880
check our website out. We are going to most certainly

318
00:17:56,039 --> 00:17:58,680
once we get the approval from dpo R, because we

319
00:17:58,799 --> 00:17:59,920
just submitted the paperwork.

320
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,759
Speaker 2: I was already approved before and we left.

321
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,559
Speaker 3: Virginia and we went to tut and I was like,

322
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,279
you know what, we have this partnership online. I'm not

323
00:18:08,279 --> 00:18:10,960
going to teach physically in Virginia anymore. So I'll just

324
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,680
let that expire, all right. So we're resubmitting it again.

325
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,720
Obviously I'm overly qualified, so we get Once we get

326
00:18:18,759 --> 00:18:21,839
the approval, then we'll be able to pick some dates

327
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:26,240
and we're hoping to know something by May first, but

328
00:18:26,279 --> 00:18:29,279
again it depends on when DPR's board meets and that

329
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,480
type of thing. But hopefully we'll get it all sorted

330
00:18:31,559 --> 00:18:34,200
out and you will notice on our website we will

331
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,200
put a date and it'll be available in our events
