Bridger Pennington

Hi, story. We're looking over the valley. It's beautiful. Pretty much the same pitch. 100 million dollar fund. He's like, this guy drives a Ferrari. He's a very successful dude. Twice my age. Let's do a fund together. Bridger, I want to be my partner. I'm like, that's why we said no to the first one. It's for this one, right? I come home to my wife. Same exact story.

We kneel down and guess what the answer is. No, do not do this. And I'm like, is this me? Is this actually God? Is this just a feeling? Because it was just a feeling, but I really didn't feel good about it. And I said, I'm going to follow. So I said, no. I called the guy up and said, hey, it's just not going to work out. Sorry. He's like, all right, see you. And I go live my life.

And nothing comes of it. I just run my businesses. We start growing. I launch another thing. This is a year, two years, three years, four and a half years later. I've thought about that. I'm like, why did I say no to that? It's so interesting. Four and a half years later, the first guy gets raided by the FBI. Takes out his whole company. Multi 15 million dollar Ponzi scheme.

He's been stealing money from people. First guy. Second guy, six months later. Allegedly a 500 million dollar Ponzi scheme. CoffeeZilla does a full thing on them on YouTube. Blew up. You probably know some of the people. I won't say their names, but you probably know them because you live in this valley. You'll know the people I'm talking about. And I came home. I showed my wife.

I'm getting emotional about this. I showed her. I'm like, wow. God is good. And we knelt down and we said... We said a prayer of gratitude. We said, that is life-ending. For someone like me in the financial space to go and be in, even if I was being partnered or somewhat associated with those folks. It just taints your career forever. And I thought, man, God knows more than we do.

Sometimes we don't figure it out for a long time. And my invite to y'all is, as much as we love to talk business and all the cool stuff, be in tune. Be close to God. I think, especially since COVID, our world is kind of in commotion. And I think we need God more than ever. Whatever that means to you. And I'd invite you to bring that into your business.

I think the ripple effects of everything we do matters. Who you hire matters. Who you fire matters. The offers you produce matter because there are ripple effects in your clients and the people around you, your neighbors. How much influence does a boss have over their employees? Huge. It really matters what me and you do. And bring the Lord into your conversations a little bit.

And it's drastically changed my life. And I'm still on the journey. I'm not perfect at all. But I try to be. You guys are amazing. I love the ClickFunnels community. I love Russell for bringing me here today. This is a great spot. Thank you so much. My name is Bridger Paynton. You guys are amazing people. Thank you all.
