You don't care how difficult that is for me to give it to you. All you care is did you get one or did you not?

That's a funny story. So in Russia back in the day, if you didn't join a university, if you didn't go to university, you had to join the army. I'm a short guy, not tremendously, you know, big muscle. I didn't want to join the freaking army. And so I realized I got to go to a university. I got to study something. And I had no idea what I wanted to do. I was zero.

Then I remembered that when I was growing up, I would always come up with some arguments to get what I wanted to get from my parents. Like, I would structure it in a way that they felt compelled to give me what I want. And they would say, I got to be a lawyer, right? When I was four or five years old, right? Maybe I should become a lawyer.

And the other part of that was, it was 1992 when I had to make the decision to go to university. That's when Russia was just collapsing. And even though my father was a famous composer, he was barely making enough money for us to eat. We were all used to a very good standard of living before that. And I saw how unreliable that was, even if you were as talented as he was.

And so before that, I was studying music and still love music. But I realized I didn't want to be in a position when I wouldn't be making any money. So like, what can I learn that that is an easy path to comfortable living? Yeah. And so I went to the law school really for the first couple of years. All I cared about was girls, alcohol and parties and music, rock and roll.

But then my dad heard his music and that changed everything so very quickly for me. So the overall success rate with trademarks filed in the U.S. is 51.7%. It means half of the trademarks filed never make it. With Trademark Factory, it's 99.3%. So we do something different from everyone else.

And there was this other category of websites out there that, you know, I'm sure your listeners have come across, you know, those $69 offers. Whoa, we've got to trademark your brand in five minutes. Right. They do not even follow through a lawyer because they've duped a lot of entrepreneurs into using them. And some trademarks go through, even through them. But their model is also the same.

And we're going to file your trademark. And then if it doesn't go through, well, too bad, so sad. I wanted to do something different. I want to give them the assurance that there's someone on their side who actually gives a damn and who wants to give them the same result that they deserve.

On the business side, it's easy, really. It's building something. that transcends you, something that you want to be remembered for. And it's really, we build businesses. One reason, of course, is to live a comfortable life. That's great. But the only way we get rich, the only way we make that money is when we give the world something that the world wants.

The more of it we do, the better trace we leave. And that's what, to me, legacy is about. Like with brands, I'm going to challenge you. Try thinking of one successful business without thinking of its brand. It can't. Because the brand is what we think about when we think of a successful brand. The brand is the thing. It is the thing we remember the business for. And that's the legacy part.
