1
00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:03.900
And my next guest he is one of my favorite people in this entire industry

2
00:00:03.900 --> 00:00:06.300
and in the world if I may say so myself

3
00:00:06.300 --> 00:00:09.500
Steve Feinberg Steve-O. Thanks Johnny. You're

4
00:00:09.500 --> 00:00:12.300
too kind no. No, so Steve he works

5
00:00:12.300 --> 00:00:13.300
with Everlasting capital.

6
00:00:14.100 --> 00:00:17.100
Let me ask you this. You've been around this industry for a

7
00:00:17.100 --> 00:00:20.400
while. There's a lot of new people coming. There's a lot of challenges going on.

8
00:00:20.400 --> 00:00:23.600
What makes you successful in this industry.

9
00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:24.300
What do you have to do?

10
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:28.800
Well, that's a great question one is really understanding what's

11
00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:31.900
happening with the industry. Some of the challenges keeping it

12
00:00:31.900 --> 00:00:34.300
fresh keeping it real, you know, that's really

13
00:00:34.300 --> 00:00:37.200
makes the difference. I think between you know

14
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:40.200
overcoming some of the obstacles, you know, so we

15
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:43.600
like to crush obstacles and understand the

16
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:45.900
industry and see what we can help people.

17
00:00:46.700 --> 00:00:49.600
Let's let's think about your entire time in

18
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:52.200
this industry throughout the many years that you've done

19
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:54.700
this. What's been the biggest year that you've ever done?

20
00:00:56.900 --> 00:00:58.500
the biggest year that I've you know

21
00:00:59.500 --> 00:01:02.600
That's a great question in every year

22
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:05.900
brings its unique set of challenges. And if

23
00:01:05.900 --> 00:01:08.500
I can ever take the current year

24
00:01:08.500 --> 00:01:11.200
that I'm in is typically the best year that I'm in

25
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:14.200
and it's like what can I take away from it? What can I learn? How can

26
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:17.900
I reinvent myself? How can I stay current with what's going on? That's probably

27
00:01:17.900 --> 00:01:20.300
the biggest thing and events like this

28
00:01:20.300 --> 00:01:23.200
and with the bank really helps allow me

29
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:26.300
to see some of the changes in the industry and

30
00:01:26.300 --> 00:01:29.200
what's going on so I can stay current with it. Well, let's talk

31
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:33.200
let's talk about deals because a lot of people want to make money. What's been

32
00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:34.600
the biggest deal that you've ever seen.

33
00:01:36.100 --> 00:01:36.800
the biggest deal

34
00:01:36.900 --> 00:01:39.800
that I have done I've even counted for a

35
00:01:39.800 --> 00:01:42.600
capital is been 1.5 million on the

36
00:01:42.600 --> 00:01:45.700
equipment side. It was a little

37
00:01:45.700 --> 00:01:46.600
over 10 million.

38
00:01:47.500 --> 00:01:50.200
In the equipment time. So, how do you how do you

39
00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:53.600
get something like that? A lot of people want to know? How do you get the big deals? How

40
00:01:53.600 --> 00:01:55.100
do you get that? Like, what did you do?

41
00:01:56.800 --> 00:01:58.900
Well, first of all, it's about how you treat people.

42
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:02.700
And how you talk to people sometimes networking getting

43
00:02:02.700 --> 00:02:05.500
references, you know trying to be a stand-up person standing

44
00:02:05.500 --> 00:02:08.600
behind the things that you say, you know, your reputation

45
00:02:08.600 --> 00:02:11.400
is key, you know, and it's really important to be able to leverage that

46
00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:14.600
and to be able to grow also to understand business understand

47
00:02:14.600 --> 00:02:17.300
where they're going see how we can help people the real

48
00:02:17.300 --> 00:02:21.100
the real benefit is being able to help businesses achieve

49
00:02:20.100 --> 00:02:23.300
their their goals in their dreams

50
00:02:23.300 --> 00:02:27.500
by doing that that gives us a great sense of value

51
00:02:26.500 --> 00:02:29.500
and what we're doing and it

52
00:02:29.500 --> 00:02:33.100
also we can look back and say you know what? I've been part of that growth and

53
00:02:32.100 --> 00:02:35.500
I think as a result of that business ends

54
00:02:35.500 --> 00:02:35.800
up coming.

55
00:02:36.700 --> 00:02:39.600
So let's talk about you know, this industry isn't

56
00:02:39.600 --> 00:02:42.100
easy. We've talked about it before there's a lot of upsets a lot

57
00:02:42.100 --> 00:02:45.300
of downs. There's a lot of a little bit of everything throughout the

58
00:02:45.300 --> 00:02:45.500
years.

59
00:02:46.600 --> 00:02:49.500
When things go down or when things are not, you

60
00:02:49.500 --> 00:02:49.500
know.

61
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:53.400
When it's it's not a feast it's a famine type

62
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:56.100
of scenario and a lot of people want to give up. They want to

63
00:02:56.100 --> 00:02:57.400
quit the industry. What would you tell that?

64
00:02:58.500 --> 00:03:01.900
Johnny that's a great question and really what

65
00:03:01.900 --> 00:03:03.200
happens is you know, what?

66
00:03:04.300 --> 00:03:07.400
Things come and go, you know, one of

67
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:10.200
the sayings that they say is this too shall pass before you

68
00:03:10.200 --> 00:03:13.300
know, what you're back into the swing of it. So, you know what, you know, you've been through it before

69
00:03:13.300 --> 00:03:16.100
in the long you doing it and you've been out of it, you know,

70
00:03:16.100 --> 00:03:19.400
you know that you just waiting for that next thing. It's

71
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:22.100
almost like you when you're in a football game and the momentum of the game

72
00:03:22.100 --> 00:03:23.800
changes like what is that?

73
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:27.300
Do you have any idea Johnny on what that is that drives that

74
00:03:27.300 --> 00:03:28.700
change in the momentum of the game?

75
00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:30.300
What is it?

76
00:03:31.200 --> 00:03:33.400
I don't know if I could package that together.

77
00:03:34.200 --> 00:03:37.600
In and sell it think about how what an

78
00:03:37.600 --> 00:03:38.700
impact that would be on what we do.

79
00:03:40.300 --> 00:03:43.100
