Full Episode
I played semi-pro by the time I was 20. That's the only thing I did my whole life was hockey. I was not a business guy at all. It was just straight NHL or bust and got pretty close and then had a pretty big injury. So that's kind of what landed me. Concussion, right? Yeah. Yeah, I was in a fight and I fought a lot too. Really? Yeah.
All right, guys. Adam Chapman here today from Canada. Welcome to America. Welcome to Vegas. Thank you for having me. Yes, sir. Is this your first time in Vegas? First time in Vegas, yes. What are you liking about it so far? Well, we had a really good event last night. That was a lot of fun. Yeah.
Pretty much all we've done so far is head to your event. It was a lot of fun, a lot of cool people there. Yeah.
Yeah. We were talking outside. You met all sorts of people, right? Yeah. We met an F3 driver last night. Some guys in the online space. Yourself. It was a really cool event. Absolutely. Anyone recognize you from your viral videos? Yeah. Just one guy was trying to convince me that we went out in Vegas together. And then he pulled up my Instagram. He's like, oh, you're the Christmas light guy. Yes.
Was that your first viral video? The Christmas light stuff? No. The first stuff that started going viral was driveway sealing. It's like seal coating. Yeah. And you made money off that and just filmed you like performing that on other people's driveways, right?
Yeah. Well, it kind of started with just me filming it for my actual company, Pad Pal, filming videos. And then a bunch of guys started reaching out to me from all over the place asking for help with their business. And For me, at least, it was a lot of older guys in the industry, like 65-year-old guys.
So it was just kind of cool to talk to other people that were looking at home services that weren't old and then kind of spilled into creating more and more content. Damn. I didn't know the industry was that old. It's ran by older people. Yeah, it's a very old industry. It's a very, let's say, a little bit more unprofessional.
So being a young guy in it and meeting other young guys in it's a lot of opportunity for us. Do you think it's because our generation is a little lazier? A hundred percent. Yeah. Yeah. Everyone wants to be like a TikTok star or do drop shipping or Amazon FBA, whereas no one wants to go and kind of get their hands dirty and put in the hard work. Yeah. Or a podcaster. Yeah.
I get asked every damn day, yo, how can I start a podcast? Yeah. Yeah. Well, I think it's easy. Nothing's easy, but that's a little bit more sexy to be a podcaster than a home service guy. Yeah. Yeah. But these jobs are needed, man. I mean, they're not going away. AI is not at the point where it can replace them yet. Yeah.
