1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,280
Tales from the trenches, stories forged in the fires of experience.

2
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:13,200
Physical health and mental health are two characteristics that we typically neglect

3
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:15,900
as technicians out providing for our family.

4
00:00:15,900 --> 00:00:19,680
Make sure you have adequate health insurance and if you need mental health assistance,

5
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:21,720
text or call 988.

6
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:27,120
Alright, hello everyone, we're hanging out today with Chris Sullivan.

7
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:28,280
Chris, how are you doing my friend?

8
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:29,800
I'm doing well, how are you?

9
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:30,800
I'm doing great.

10
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:35,200
You know, we got into a conversation yesterday about all of the topics that we have to cover

11
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:44,360
here at the conference and one that we never spend enough time diving into is our own health.

12
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:49,720
It is shockingly there's not a class taught about it.

13
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,360
There's not a skill taught about it.

14
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:59,680
And I just hope that by sharing my own story, my experience, that somebody out there listening

15
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:04,760
might change something for the better and maybe be around a little bit longer for their

16
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,040
own loved ones.

17
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:07,040
Yeah, absolutely.

18
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:14,200
You know, when we're in the field, we tend to work a lot, right?

19
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,320
We work so hard and we train so hard.

20
00:01:17,320 --> 00:01:20,400
We're there to do this for our families, for our loved ones.

21
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,040
Supporting our families.

22
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,760
And we forget, in essence, to take care of ourselves.

23
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,560
And that's the irony of it.

24
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:33,040
We're working hard to give a good life for people and sometimes forget to try to give

25
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:34,680
a good life for ourselves.

26
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:35,680
Absolutely.

27
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:41,720
Where in if, you know, something, God forbid, should happen to one of us, you know, that

28
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,720
take us out of a line of work or that type of thing, no one tells us.

29
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:51,240
I mean, we have the reps if you're in a union or maybe you're working for a private company

30
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,760
that's non-union.

31
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:58,880
But nobody talks about this enough to have the right health insurance, to have the right

32
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,760
care, have the right coverage, you know, that type of thing.

33
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:07,080
I've seen, unfortunately, I have seen technicians that started their own businesses and, you

34
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:11,720
know, got into really having successful businesses and focused on the work because they're just

35
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:16,080
work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, and then have a catastrophe hit and

36
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,520
then lose everything because they weren't prepared for those potential situations.

37
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,840
Well, and that's in particular who I want to reach out to is not only small business

38
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:33,240
owners, but even if you're a key cog in a multimillion dollar company or a major corporation,

39
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:34,320
you're still important.

40
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:35,560
You're still important to somebody.

41
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,760
In fact, I would wager, just think about this for a minute.

42
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,600
You're the best person that somebody knows.

43
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,840
You're the best person somebody knows.

44
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:51,400
And if you fail to take care of yourself, you're in a way, you're failing to take care

45
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:52,440
of them.

46
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:58,320
Not saying that we're a failure, just we can't be careful enough in our own health, is what

47
00:02:58,320 --> 00:02:59,320
I'm trying to say.

48
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,520
Yeah, we have to be careful not to set us up for that potential failure.

49
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,080
We don't know.

50
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:05,720
We never, we're not guaranteed anything.

51
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:06,720
Absolutely.

52
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,600
And I found that way out in a hard way.

53
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:18,000
And so a little over a week ago, I was diagnosed with cancer to no fault of my own.

54
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,560
And it just happens and it sucks.

55
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:26,120
And I wish for everyone out there, this is not a woe is me.

56
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:31,880
I will say it publicly, whether you agree with it or not, God, it's good.

57
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:36,000
And he's watching, or I feel that as I'm going through this.

58
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:43,040
And I just want to say that as I've been through this experience, prepping to go through chemo

59
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:49,640
in the next little bit, it's just one of those things you just don't anticipate ever happening.

60
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,880
I'm 43.

61
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,560
I was up until September.

62
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,880
I ran in half marathons, marathons.

63
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,360
You know, that was my hobby.

64
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,920
That was my out.

65
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,320
And you just never know.

66
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:10,960
And that's one of the stories I want to tell was when I got injured running on my way out

67
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:19,160
of the half marathon, or I was training for it September 9th, I ran on the injury and

68
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,440
I was stubborn and stupid and did it anyway.

69
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,720
And us men are a lot like that, right?

70
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:29,720
Yeah, we just, I'm struggling with that right now to try and to counter that internal demon

71
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:30,720
of myself.

72
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:35,160
That constantly reminds me that I still have work to do with that.

73
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,560
Yeah, and we all do.

74
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:38,800
And we're right there with you.

75
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,100
If you're struggling with mental health, reach out.

76
00:04:42,100 --> 00:04:44,300
But I'm talking like physical health.

77
00:04:44,300 --> 00:04:48,240
You know, I was trying to get better and in that process, I injured myself.

78
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:53,160
I was running down the canyon at nine and a half minutes a mile and just stepped on

79
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:54,520
a rock and stumbled.

80
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,960
I almost fell just face first, but I caught myself.

81
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:03,160
And in that process, if you can imagine me, I'm just failing and I just caught myself

82
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:07,960
on the wind down and then ran the half marathon anyway.

83
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,940
And then it just never got better.

84
00:05:09,940 --> 00:05:15,260
And so I went in for an MRI and that's when they found the, the, the mass and it's just

85
00:05:15,260 --> 00:05:18,040
everything's kind of snowballed from there.

86
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:23,720
So through no event or fault of your own, you can just encounter these obstacles that

87
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,620
just feel so unfair.

88
00:05:26,620 --> 00:05:34,240
And it does, but I'm telling you right now that if you don't have life insurance in place,

89
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:39,920
if you don't have proper healthcare coverage in place, these are all things I wish somebody

90
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:46,640
would have just maybe just beat over my head and lectured me to death on.

91
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,520
And unfortunately, about this time where I was going through this running injury, my

92
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,000
wife changed our insurance.

93
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:59,880
She felt prompted to change our insurance to a plan that we could afford.

94
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:04,000
And it was a plan that had really, really good coverage if something were to happen

95
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:09,240
to me, because if we weren't in the midst of this miracle that we're experiencing right

96
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:14,720
now, and I say miracle, I mean, I have cancer, it sucks, you know, and, and I'm here at the

97
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:20,200
conference with surrounded by so many amazing people and so many amazing things that I'm

98
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,240
learning and trying to push forward and push through.

99
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:29,680
And many of us go through so many things we just don't tell other people about.

100
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:35,840
I'm just hoping that by being vulnerable for a little bit, that somebody out there listening

101
00:06:35,840 --> 00:06:41,440
to this might change that one aspect that you've like, Hey, I've got to change this.

102
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:46,720
Y'all, y'all are so smart with your heating and air conditioning inverter, heat pumps,

103
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:52,280
and your, your, your engineers is that and whatever you're dealing with, but take a second

104
00:06:52,280 --> 00:06:56,720
and step back and take care of your families and take care of your health is just what

105
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,240
I'm pleading for.

106
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:06,520
Because if you can take a step back and just focus on you for a minute as bad as it sucks,

107
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,400
because if you don't, something will happen and it'll force you to do it anyway.

108
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:11,720
And catch you off guard.

109
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:12,720
Yeah.

110
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:13,720
Yeah, absolutely.

111
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:19,240
And we hear those stories regularly and unfortunately, many of us, especially when we're in our

112
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:24,320
twenties, maybe in our early thirties, we don't look at us being injured.

113
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,520
No, we don't even fathom what that would look like.

114
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:28,800
So we don't prepare for it.

115
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,360
Well, and how can you write things are going good.

116
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:36,040
You're working hard, you're working your butt off your, you know, you're kicking butt, taking

117
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,640
names and then out of the blue.

118
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:46,440
I mean, a week and a half ago, week ago, you've, you find out some of the worst news in your

119
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,640
entire life.

120
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,000
And that's what happened to me.

121
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:57,740
And again, I'm not saying poor me, but I'm just saying is that if somebody can take and

122
00:07:57,740 --> 00:08:04,040
just change something, maybe get better healthcare coverage, maybe improve life insurance, set

123
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:05,600
your family up for success.

124
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:11,320
The number one thing I'd off piece of advice I'd offer to anybody is just get out of debt.

125
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,200
Just get out because we're, we're dealing with some stuff that's unfortunate.

126
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,120
And I wish they would have taught that somewhere in a trade class.

127
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:19,280
Just don't get into that.

128
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:20,320
Don't go buy that truck.

129
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,640
Don't go buy that expensive tool.

130
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:28,420
It's I mean, yes, you've got to have tools to provide, but, and don't buy the trailer.

131
00:08:28,420 --> 00:08:30,340
You don't need, don't buy the equipment.

132
00:08:30,340 --> 00:08:36,120
You don't need, if something doesn't feel right as off, listen to that.

133
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:45,300
You guys know what's going on in your businesses, but take a step back, take care of yourselves,

134
00:08:45,300 --> 00:08:46,840
take care of your health.

135
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:52,960
That matters and has to be so important because you've got families, you've got others.

136
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:54,440
And again, I'll say it again.

137
00:08:54,440 --> 00:09:03,140
You're the best person somebody knows and to, to not have that either a taken care of,

138
00:09:03,140 --> 00:09:06,880
think of what would happen if it was somebody gone from somebody's life and you're the best

139
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,740
person they know what that would do to them.

140
00:09:10,740 --> 00:09:14,920
Maybe, maybe that course of action will help you change something for the better and for

141
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,480
the positive in your life.

142
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:17,480
Absolutely.

143
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:21,920
You know, I had a conversation and it was actually, it was a year ago.

144
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:26,160
It was at the 2023 National HVACR Education Conference.

145
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:32,760
And I was spending some time with my, my good friends, Rob Vilches over at the United Association

146
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:33,760
and Brian Kelly.

147
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:42,960
And we were talking about the, the UA and some things that the UA does for, for members

148
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:52,840
that they don't realize at the time that part of the UA's design is to have many of these

149
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,880
aspects in play.

150
00:09:54,880 --> 00:10:02,240
So your insurance, having investments, having things in play in those early years of your

151
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:06,080
career that you don't know that you need.

152
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:14,520
And due to years of experience, they've realized that that is part of your membership is to

153
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:19,600
make sure that you have all those benefits in play because most young technicians, men

154
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,520
or women don't focus on it.

155
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,400
Traditionally, women focus on it more than men do.

156
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:29,800
But in that early stages in life, both men and women are ill-prepared because we don't

157
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,600
think of those potential outcomes.

158
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,000
And so the UA focuses on doing that.

159
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,120
And I had so much respect when we, when we started talking about that, when we started

160
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:45,480
looking at what union dues do, my father actually retired as a, as an operator, a heavy machinery

161
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:50,880
operator, and I got to witness what those benefits did for him later in life.

162
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,760
But I can only fathom, you know, earlier in life, how much that could be a benefit.

163
00:10:54,760 --> 00:11:00,840
I myself went non-union in my career, and it wasn't until I was in my thirties and realized,

164
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,840
oh man, I missed, I missed so many.

165
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,160
There's a lot of things I really wish I would have done better.

166
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:15,720
And then I realized that, you know, part of that is that in that age, we just aren't wired.

167
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:21,760
Our brains have not matured to the point of being prepared for those scenarios.

168
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,360
And it is, it's a very important thing to be aware of.

169
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:26,360
Absolutely.

170
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:31,600
And for the young guys that are considering what to do, the union is a terrific option.

171
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,480
I wish I would have chosen this many years ago.

172
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,560
I've worked in the private sector my whole life.

173
00:11:37,560 --> 00:11:43,400
And so 20 years experience in the, in the residential heating and air conditioning world

174
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,240
is where I reside.

175
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:49,640
And so we work in Utah where it's a right to work state.

176
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:50,720
Yeah, absolutely.

177
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:55,880
And so not that there is not unions there, I could have been a part of it, but looking

178
00:11:55,880 --> 00:12:00,680
back, I mean, that would change things significantly for me now.

179
00:12:00,680 --> 00:12:04,040
Fortunately, we have decent enough healthcare coverage.

180
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:09,360
Fortunately, we have, you know, there are things that are not going to be without their

181
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:10,360
challenges.

182
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,080
Yeah, exactly.

183
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:19,520
But even if you work privately, there are options available to you that maybe, maybe

184
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:25,600
just ask for advice and not that that's one thing I don't get with guys in particular.

185
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,600
We're so stubborn.

186
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:28,600
What?

187
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,880
I'm not gonna let my wife hear this.

188
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,560
She's not gonna let her me agree that I'm stubborn.

189
00:12:34,560 --> 00:12:42,160
Well, my wife already knows that there's things we can't say on here that she calls me.

190
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:47,680
But, but don't be afraid to ask, you know, because there are somewhere just like somebody

191
00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:53,880
ask you to go in and fix their equipment or repair just like you're an expert there.

192
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:59,240
There are experts around that are just wanting and willing to help.

193
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:03,400
And don't take that for granted.

194
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,000
You know, ask maybe a little bit earlier.

195
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,240
Yeah, I absolutely agree.

196
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:16,600
There is a difficult thing in vulnerability, and it's called pride.

197
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:26,080
And I have had to have many moments where I have to set that aside and just say, it's

198
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:27,080
out of my control.

199
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:28,080
Yeah.

200
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:34,720
You know, and this has been one of those moments, you know, where I've got four kids, my oldest

201
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,880
is married, and my youngest is 13.

202
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,960
And so we decided to have kids early on in our relationship.

203
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:46,880
And so, and then now looking at this, I'm just as you're staring death right in the

204
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:51,840
face that changes you, changes your perspective.

205
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:56,680
And so just, that's what I'm trying to say is take care of yourselves, guys.

206
00:13:56,680 --> 00:13:57,900
You're worth it.

207
00:13:57,900 --> 00:14:04,520
You know, somebody out there thinks you are and you are, and somebody believes in you.

208
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,880
Somebody took a risk and hired you.

209
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,100
That's got to be worth something.

210
00:14:09,100 --> 00:14:10,560
Take care of that.

211
00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:15,480
Take care of you and please just watch out for these types of things.

212
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,880
And so I'd say is look at your mortgage.

213
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:26,660
There's something called mortgage insurance where if you have an accident, I wish I'd

214
00:14:26,660 --> 00:14:34,920
known about this, you know, and rendered you unable to work, they'll pay off your mortgage

215
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,200
if you get a terminal illness or something like that.

216
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:42,360
And so there are just so many things where we're looking back, make sure you have the

217
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,800
right amount of life and life insurance coverage.

218
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,120
And you just don't think about that.

219
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,920
But get with someone that knows what they're talking about.

220
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:54,360
Research the plans, know what you're saying yes to know what you're saying no to become

221
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:55,360
educated.

222
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,280
You don't have to become an expert.

223
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:58,280
Leave that to the experts.

224
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:03,120
You're the expert in your field, whether it's some, some type of trade work, et cetera,

225
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:04,120
et cetera.

226
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:09,080
The one who I'm particularly talking about is a trade skilled tradesman who need to be

227
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,100
around for their families that they're providing for.

228
00:15:12,100 --> 00:15:17,120
So life insurance and then make sure that your medical coverage is where it needs to

229
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:18,300
be.

230
00:15:18,300 --> 00:15:22,200
And so just review that you don't have to be top of mind.

231
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:28,640
And I'm not saying feel it full worry, but just be cognizant of it every now and again.

232
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:33,900
And just if you know, one of the things running that did for me is I'm a hundred pounds down

233
00:15:33,900 --> 00:15:35,360
from where I used to be.

234
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:36,360
Wow.

235
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:37,360
Congratulations.

236
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:38,360
Thank you.

237
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:42,440
And it's, and, and I still remember when I couldn't, when I decided to make that change,

238
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:50,280
I really just very angry with myself and I just dumped the soda and four years later,

239
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:51,280
I haven't touched soda.

240
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:52,800
Yeah, that's a big one.

241
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:58,840
And so, and be where I, when I began running, I couldn't even walk a half mile.

242
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,160
Just couldn't just things weren't working right.

243
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:07,120
And there are many, many, many times I've had COVID four times I've recovered from a

244
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,760
traumatic brain injury.

245
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:15,600
There just been so many obstacles and towns along the way where if you don't feel like

246
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:19,760
it's worth going on, it is not going to be easy.

247
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,520
You know, everybody's got their stuff they've got to deal with.

248
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,680
They all got baggage.

249
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:25,680
Every single one of us.

250
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,640
And if you're saying you're don't, you're lying.

251
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:32,120
There, I mean, there's, there's, there's something somewhere.

252
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,040
Take care of it before it becomes an issue.

253
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:36,040
Absolutely.

254
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:41,040
Because like I say, you're the best person somebody knows might be your kids.

255
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:46,160
It might be the neighbor that's watching you that you don't even know about.

256
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,460
But you mean something to somebody.

257
00:16:48,460 --> 00:16:50,320
And that's important.

258
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,980
So stay around, stay healthy.

259
00:16:53,980 --> 00:16:56,660
Watch the for those things in life.

260
00:16:56,660 --> 00:17:00,920
If you don't know how to balance a checkbook, learn, you know, watch your money, be wise

261
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:09,880
with it, get just may I get the hell out of that, you know, avoid it like the plague.

262
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:15,360
Because we have some debt, but we had been working on the process for a little bit to

263
00:17:15,360 --> 00:17:17,680
improve our finances.

264
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,920
And nobody's really born with a silver spoon and trades, right?

265
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:28,960
We're all just hard working guys and gals that are just trying to make make make a better

266
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:34,160
improvement for our lives and for somebody but if you can ensure that you're taking care

267
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:39,240
of yourself, man, you can you can live a long healthy life.

268
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:44,440
And even if it's fraught with challenges, okay, you have challenges.

269
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:45,680
But people care.

270
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,880
And that's the message that I wanted to deploy today.

271
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:49,880
Absolutely.

272
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:50,880
I really appreciate it.

273
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:51,880
Chris Sullivan.

274
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:52,880
Thank you.

275
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:53,880
It's been a pleasure to meet you.

276
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:54,880
Yeah, you too.

277
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,440
And thanks for the time that I'd love to.

278
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,240
I love the show.

279
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,440
So we're glad to have you out when I seen you.

280
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,500
So thank you so much.

281
00:18:04,500 --> 00:18:05,500
Thank you so much.

282
00:18:05,500 --> 00:18:06,500
Love it.

283
00:18:06,500 --> 00:18:30,940
Well, thank you.
