Cause it's like, I want to answer it one time and then help thousands of people not like have to answer the same question over and over and over and over again. By the way, shout out Dan Martell. We're in SAS Academy. And dude, I read that book earlier this year when it dropped. I was on my way back from my honeymoon. Thankfully, my wife's very supportive.
So she's like, sure, we can listen to a business audio book on the way back from our honeymoon. And I was like, holy shit. So full-time EA, I haven't looked at email. I took it off my phone. Like, don't touch my calendar. Like when I asked, hey, Tommy, I'll be in town. Can we do the podcast thing? You're like, yeah, reach out to my assistant. I took that screenshot, sent it to my assistant. Boom.
And it's like, you do a lot of screenshots. Yeah, dude. People don't realize the power of being able to hire people to do things. And like Dan says, people are better at it and they can find purpose in that work. Tell me about domination over mediocrity. Yeah, man. So I think that you don't really hear the word dominate anymore. I think it's almost too offensive for the world that we live in.
And no matter which side you're on, whether you're the blue team or the red team, I think I think we've lost our way a little bit in this country from personal responsibility and achievement. And I think that I've got water bottles that say dominate. Nothing else matters because I'm just like an all out guy, man.
I feel like if you're going to do something, my dad taught us that like you shouldn't do it half ass. Aspire to be number one. Yeah. What's the point?
Yeah. You didn't win. I think that's why you and I get along so well, dude. I feel like our parents are very much similar.
Help me with that because I still am like... I don't know. We can be friends. Cool. I'll give you a great example. But as soon as you want to get in my space, I'm like, I want to fucking kill you and put you out of business.
Yeah.
Yeah. And they don't see it on the P&L because that hits the balance sheet. And they're like, hey, look, we're so profitable. And then the tax man shows up with his bill and they go, where am I supposed to find all that money from?
You also have to be careful. I had a guy, I'm a local member of the Pintanus Club in Louisville, and he owns a big dry cleaning outfit, like In the region, Cintas is the only one that's bigger than him. And he had two King Air airplanes. He had a boat in Michigan, a boat in the Keys. And he told me, he said, DJ, what you own, owns you. And I was like, whoa.
And he said, eventually it gets to a point where you literally are just like paying to keep up with all this shit and you're using it a couple times a year and it does nothing but own you. And so I think you have to be careful. More money, more problems. Especially when you don't come from much, dude.
If you've never had the Harley and the boat and the airplane and stuff like, yeah, you're going to want that. But there's something to be said about delayed gratification. Well, the problem is.
It's like motivating, right? It is.
What's one of the coolest things you've ever done for one of your team members?
On your first out.
But dirty capitalists are bad, Tommy. You know, like you guys that are turning these PE deals and making all this money, man. Like you just go out on your yachts and smoke your cigars and drink your scotch, right? Like you don't help anybody. Isn't it crazy the perspective that gets put on people that achieve sometimes, man? It's bad.
So we donate 80 cents out of every dollar.
My brother and I were just talking on the airplane here. We were talking like, hey, if we did this much, we'd get this multiple, you know, SAS gets this, blah, blah, blah. And he's like, what's the taxes on that exit? And it's like, we figure it's like, ugh. And he's like, yeah. And the government says, hey, thank you for all your hard work and labor. I appreciate that. You know, capital gains.
Yeah, people get that confused a lot, like consumerism versus capitalism, because capitalism is using the least amount of input for the maximum output, which means that like you buy a pair of jeans that you can wear for 10 years versus consumerism is upgrading your iPhone every 12 months. Yeah, that's different. And so I think a lot of people get that skewed sometimes.
But I do want to tell we got off on a tangent there. I do want to give the listener something because I think this is something they can do with their social media. that would really help them out. I ran my first Facebook ad in 2013 for my power washing company. And I was like out power washing a condo, still in the field. And I like did a selfie video. I was like, yo, check this out.
