1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.939 Matthew Washington: Hey, everyone, Matt Washington, 2 00:00:02.002 --> 00:00:05.818 Pierce Capital, hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. Hope the 3 00:00:05.880 --> 00:00:09.572 holiday season is going great. We got one more holiday left 4 00:00:09.634 --> 00:00:13.263 until 2021 comes. You know, I think the thing I got out of 5 00:00:13.326 --> 00:00:16.829 2020 is that a lot of people want it to end. But there's 6 00:00:16.892 --> 00:00:20.645 things that I learned during 2020. There's things that I see 7 00:00:20.708 --> 00:00:24.337 differently now, because of 2020, I gained wisdom, because 8 00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:28.216 of 2020, a lot of negative stuff happened in 2020. But if you 9 00:00:28.278 --> 00:00:31.782 really look at it, there's a lot of positive things that 10 00:00:31.844 --> 00:00:35.598 happened. I think all of us grew. Somehow, some way, I think 11 00:00:35.661 --> 00:00:39.665 we got closer to people that we needed to get closer to, I think 12 00:00:39.727 --> 00:00:43.669 we started respecting and loving our friends, our families, our 13 00:00:43.731 --> 00:00:47.423 loved ones, and just our lives more. So everyone's excited. 14 00:00:47.485 --> 00:00:51.302 And, you know, everyone keeps saying I can't wait for 2020 to 15 00:00:51.364 --> 00:00:54.930 end. Well, you know what 2020 really wasn't all that bad. 16 00:00:54.993 --> 00:00:58.684 There was a lot of things that happened, it's a crazy year, 17 00:00:58.747 --> 00:01:02.563 crazy times we're in. But using those times, using times like 18 00:01:02.626 --> 00:01:06.567 that, to to better yourself, is the best thing to do it. I just 19 00:01:06.630 --> 00:01:10.509 want to say thank you to all of our partners, our brokers, our 20 00:01:10.571 --> 00:01:14.388 strategic relationships, the people that make Pierce Capital, 21 00:01:14.450 --> 00:01:18.329 I couldn't thank you enough. We ended up crushing the year for 22 00:01:18.392 --> 00:01:22.333 the circumstance. And we thank God for that. We're grateful for 23 00:01:22.396 --> 00:01:26.087 that. But we currently pause closing new relationships till 24 00:01:26.150 --> 00:01:29.778 2021, that's right around the corner. I'm getting a lot of 25 00:01:29.841 --> 00:01:33.720 people requesting to sign up I'm sending an email back to them 26 00:01:33.782 --> 00:01:37.661 letting you guys know that the first of the first of the year, 27 00:01:37.724 --> 00:01:41.290 we're gonna get you signed up with Pierce Capital. I look 28 00:01:41.352 --> 00:01:45.169 forward to working with all of you and showing you what we're 29 00:01:45.231 --> 00:01:49.110 made out of. But, you know, I hope everyone gets something out 30 00:01:49.173 --> 00:01:53.240 of this message. And I just want to thank all of our partners and 31 00:01:53.302 --> 00:01:57.306 everyone we do business with for making the best out of 2020.
