So why even like, but, but I got to tell them and I got to, you know what prompting is when you like go to chat GBT, you got to ask the right questions. You got to make sure you're doing the right things you got. And they'll help us find the answers.
And I don't think there's, I just think a lot of people are like, you hire people that just aren't at your level because you're afraid, or maybe you can't afford them. When I learned about an equity incentive program.
Dude, I could attract a,
Yeah, it's true. It's a skill. I mean, people are going to school right now, kids. The whole classes, the whole education is called prompting. That's the newest thing in education. There's a guy, Send Out Cards, he's out of Utah. He was the first big speaking I did. He wrote a book called Prompting. And it's so true. I got a question for both of you guys, and I want you guys to go back and forth.
Because you guys might take each other's answers, so I'm going to do it this way. So you look at SoulGen.
And I want you each to go back and forth, three each, of the biggest pieces. And a lot of it's hiring and the marketing strategy. But what was... Let's start with the successes. And it could be you learned from a mistake, but what were the things that really drove growth, culture, revenue? And if you had to do three each and go back and forth,
That's where you guys figured it out on the social side of the education.
And what would you say was your biggest channel on a YouTube, Facebook or Insta?
Like half of that was going to Facebook.
You guys got to alternate.
You've heard of Steve Jobs, right? Heard of Steve Jobs of solar.
Well, that's the ability. Listen, that's sales 101. It's how to win friends and influence people. Get people to buy into your dream. Us entrepreneurs, we really are good at that. We're really good. I'm an optimist. I don't care if the cup is empty. I make it half full. But people are like, dude, that's not even real. There's no way that's possible. You're not going to another galaxy.
Correct. Well, you know, I work with Dan Martell by Back to Your Time. And he goes, one thing I've realized about you is your word is your bond. You shake somebody's hand. But what if I told you what I want you to practice is not breaking your word, but undoing your word. If you told the neighbors five years ago you were going to mow their lawn every week, he goes –
Find them a replacement, pay them some of the money back, and get out of that. He goes, sometimes what I feel like, Tommy, is that your idea of yourself is like my word is my bond. If I shake your hand, it's paved in gold. What made sense for Tommy two years ago, you need to renegotiate these things and do it fast and not feel like you're letting people down. He goes, I just did it last week.
He goes, I promised this guy I would speak at his event. He goes, dude, the event's 300 people. I got to travel. He's like, I had to renegotiate it. I got a great sub. He's like, I told him straight up, guys, if you ever want to come visit, I'll make it up to you. You come out to Kelowna. Usually I charge a lot for this. But he goes, practice that.
Become good at that because that's going to be your biggest weakness. It's not that you're a liar. It's not that you're not morally correct. But you need to work on that because – That's a great statement that you said. It's like, you're right. Sometimes we need to pivot. And I'm not trying to let people down. That's the worst feeling in the world, like letting somebody down.
But at the end of the day, like Al always told me, Al Levy, he's like, you just got to be able to still have, especially with family, you still got to be able to have Thanksgiving together. And like, people are not like, if you've got a good reasoning behind it, they're not like in tears. You say, listen, this is why. And there are hard conversations.
There's a great book called Fierce Conversations. And it's hard to have these conversations. And I don't like to have them with everybody. The close five people, I feel bad for my mom, my sister, and my dad because they've had the fierce – I've been fierce with them.
And, you know, solar is a tough business, man, to keep going.
I've got this open book policy. Everybody knows exactly what we do, day, week, month, down to the lowest level. I don't mean low level, but just I'd say the front line. And people are like, why would you share that? People are going to know how much money you make. I'm like, yeah, we make great money. I'm like, this is a business. My clients want us to make great money.
