Yeah, right. He didn't want to go home. But I don't understand the, you know, let's walk my life away.
Have you guys implemented AI? And if so, what are some of the things that you're implementing now?
What do you think about these autonomous cars? Like the no people driving these cars? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, just think, I mean, just think about like the autonomous cars. I have discussions with people all the time about this. I think it's going to be, so that's where it's going to start, right? I mean, who wouldn't like for us, right? Get in the car and maybe you have a driver, so you don't need to worry about this. For me, I get in my truck, like, I mean, 30 minutes to work, 30 minutes back.
I mean, drive to meetings, you know? So, I mean, imagine how many... Yeah, how many hours could you get back? And I mean, I could be on my, you know, my computer, on the phone.
Yeah, not to mention we can bring down insurance costs because people would be crashing into each other.
Crazy, badass. Um... I don't know that there's any crazy badass. I'm reading Simon Sinek.
Sinek, yeah, Simon Sinek.
No, it's the infamous game.
Infinite game, there you go.
But anyways. Yeah, that's why I mean, I feel that that's something that I'm looking at right now. It's like, you know, stop looking at the short term, you know, duration. Let's look at the long game or the infinite game if you want this company to run forever. Right. Like you said, I mean, is private equity some part of the answer?
Because it's like, hey, we need the money and the cash to build this and get the right training, get the right people, get the right things in place for this thing to run for forever.
Yeah. Yeah. Email's great. Jay young at Tempe mechanical.net. Um, you know, it was probably the best way to get me. I'm always checking my emails. I live and die by email and my calendar. So, um, I would say that would be the best.
Yeah, no worries. I appreciate that. So one thing I wanted to touch on. So you talked about, you know, having people that are educated and smart in plumbing and HVAC. So we've kind of figured out there's a huge gap in our industry with, you know, talent, right? They just don't. Nobody wanted to be a plumber or an HVAC guy for a lot of years, right? Everybody went to college.
So what we're doing to try and help with that is we're all, a lot of us are creating apprenticeship programs. So that's one of the things we're starting this year. And I think that's going to set us apart. But really it's to, you know, educate and teach people because I'm sure as you know, people just don't want to work on anything at their house. They're afraid to.
It's like, oh my God, my toilet broke. And you're like, well, lift the lid and look inside, the plunger's broken. Like, I don't want to have to charge you $500 to come out there and replace your plunger when you can go to Home Depot and get it for 25 bucks. Like- You know, so that's kind of our mission and our plan is to, you know, kind of teach and grow the community.
You know, even if they don't stay with us, you know, teach them how to, like, be better people. And some of this stuff, do it yourself. Like, some of this stuff is complicated. That's what we want to do, right? The other stuff, figure it out on your own, man. I don't know.
