Like you're, you're helping yourself by having others help you. Correct. Right. Uh, because whether it's an author or a mentor or a coach or something else.
I'd say for sure the guy that I learned from the most from more of a distant, not like a lot of personal interaction was Todd Peterson. Yeah. And, you know, I actually talked about this on a I was doing like a little training for a bunch of multilevel marketing people this last week. They brought me on as a guest.
And I talked about how like before I worked for Todd, when I was running my businesses, I hated Todd. Right. Like every everything about him felt like he was an arrogant prick, thought like, you know, just whatever. But then I realized the reason I hated him is because he did it right and I didn't. Yeah.
You know, and and so then I shifted my mindset when I ultimately, you know, I talk about like there was a four and a half year period where I worked for three different businesses. that I call my paid education. And like, I was very intentional from learning from these guys. And Todd just taught me so much by the way that the way he built his empire, right? Like building it with transparency,
and culture and like just so much like, even the way like he structured his pay scales and it was just like very transparent across the board of like, this is what we pay if you wanna get to the next level, these are the X, Y, and Z, there's no secrets, there's no nothing.
Yeah. Yeah. So, Todd, you know, I didn't and the way I look at with mentors, you got to pay them in one way or another. You either pay by working for them or you pay by getting in the room with them, right? With time, energy, or money. And so Todd, I paid for by working for him, right?
And kind of studying him from abroad, which, you know, I knew having owned a home security business beforehand, exactly what the margins were, what he was making on my production and everything else. But like, that was like such an incredible opportunity or the... the, the cost of, of, of learning from him, uh, it was just, uh, yeah, work, working with him in his, in his corner.
So that was, uh, that was, that was a cool pivotal part of my career. And, and like, and Todd has continued to be just a cool person to, to learn from and study from, from afar. And I've had, you know, handful of conversations with him since I've not worked with him. And like, like you said, I think that was like at an investor conference, right.
When you had that conversation with you and his daughter, but yeah.
Well, I remember one of the lessons that you shared from just that time of one, never allow a meal not to be on just one card, right? Whenever you go to eat, one person always pays and it should almost always be you, right? I know that you learned that lesson from Jeff and he would take you guys to eat
Still does. Right. It was cool because we had a chance to go to lunch with him just the other day and buy him lunch, which was cool because I know earlier in our careers he was... He pulled his wallet out too, you know? Yeah. But no, Jeff was...
Jeff's a special human in my book because he's actually, besides you, the only person that believed in me after my bankruptcy, which was really cool to see. He saw how hungry we were and everything else and was willing to put money on the line for somebody that literally had just filed bankruptcy, which was...
crazy and so he helped uh he helped us uh build our our second alarm company from because we didn't we didn't want to sell contracts anymore we wanted in-house accounts and so he put a fund together for us that we could draw on to essentially keep those those accounts in-house and now that was just a really powerful lesson for me like like believe in people right like not uh yeah
you guys weren't even like really family like he was like this extended in-law of something else right like yeah yeah he he's definitely a cool like early stage mentor of so let me ask people let me ask you this guys so like what so i know like like business we learn a lot about business we have to right things are always changing in business and stuff
Amen.
Hallelujah.
Dude, you know, it's interesting. You said like, okay, this business, whatever. So I've never really idolized somebody in business unless they line up with all the other aspects that I want. Um... I know there's been a few, I guess you'd call them mentors or people that I'm like, okay, I wanna learn this one thing from them, but I don't wanna emulate them. I'll give you an example.
Grant, I love you, but there's only a few aspects about Grant Cardone in the past. He's starting to line up some things now. He's starting to get his family and different things like that in order, which I respect. But there's just this action part of him that I'm like, I wanna learn that. But I don't necessarily want to put him in my mentor bucket. Right.
So like for me, when I'm when I'm looking at people that I want to impact me in business, like really, it's like, OK, do they check all the boxes physically, economically, associations and their spirituality? Right. Like are they aligned? And so like when I look at like a guy like Todd, right, like I've appreciated one. The guy's kept the same wife and has kids and respectable kids.
Right. Talks highly about his kids, keeps his family and everything spiritually. Yeah. Like he's I, you know, I'm sure he's not perfect, but he creates a lot of the same alignment that I want, which which I'm like, OK, I respect that physically. Guy works out, takes care of his body, everything like that. And so like for me. That's the mentor I've always tried to be as well.
