00:01.830 --> 00:04.530
Sean Murray: You know, people ask,
Why are you putting on an event

00:04.530 --> 00:07.890
because we've been in media for
quite a while. And the reason

00:07.890 --> 00:11.880
is, you know, I've been to a lot
of conferences over the last 10,

00:11.940 --> 00:16.620
11 years, started in the MCA
industry back in 2006. And every

00:16.620 --> 00:20.700
event I've ever been to, I felt
like I was an outsider. You

00:20.700 --> 00:24.000
know, there was the people
visiting someone else's

00:24.000 --> 00:28.740
conference, there was no
conference for our group. And

00:28.740 --> 00:32.430
somehow, all these years
continued to be that same way,

00:32.640 --> 00:37.860
right. So starting now, deBanked
is going to be doing events,

00:37.860 --> 00:43.320
this is our first one. And in
May, May 14 2018, we're going to

00:43.320 --> 00:47.370
be putting together a broker
slash ISO, whatever you guys

00:47.370 --> 00:48.870
call it, event.

00:50.160 --> 00:53.010
The new guys call them brokers,
in my day they were ISOs.

00:55.530 --> 00:58.800
We're gonna be putting together
a Broker/ISO centric event in,

00:58.980 --> 01:04.830
in Brooklyn to build out
Brooklyn, right? You got to go

01:04.830 --> 01:07.620
to where the ISOs are, we're all
here. They're all in. They're

01:07.620 --> 01:11.430
all in Brooklyn, all in New
York. So we're gonna have an

01:11.430 --> 01:14.910
event at the William Vale hotel.
It's in Williamsburgh, I don't

01:14.910 --> 01:18.600
know if you guys know it. We're
gonna make it focused around

01:18.630 --> 01:24.090
three central themes going to be
education, inspiration, and

01:24.090 --> 01:27.180
opportunities. And if you're a
company out there, and you're

01:27.180 --> 01:30.900
like brokers, why why are we
making it around brokers? I hate

01:30.900 --> 01:35.220
brokers, right? brokers can be
tough to deal with. And even if

01:35.220 --> 01:38.490
you don't work with brokers, and
you go direct, you do things

01:38.490 --> 01:43.440
your own way. At the end of the
day, brokers have an impact on

01:43.440 --> 01:46.200
what everyone here does, right?
Because they all talk to your

01:46.200 --> 01:50.100
merchants. And so if they're
doing it wrong, or saying the

01:50.100 --> 01:54.300
wrong thing, that could hurt how
you talk to them later on. All

01:54.300 --> 01:58.200
right. So we want to make sure
that they have all the right

01:58.230 --> 02:01.980
tools, education and training to
do the right things. And then we

02:01.980 --> 02:04.920
want to inspire them. We want to
make them better closers, right?

02:05.400 --> 02:09.330
You want sales reps, who can
close, everybody wants that, we

02:09.330 --> 02:12.300
want to give them opportunities.
We want them to meet the funders

02:12.420 --> 02:15.330
and the lenders. So they don't
send all their deals to

02:16.410 --> 02:24.000
fundme@gmail.com. Right. People
actually go again, Sean I sent

02:24.000 --> 02:29.820
my deal to this guy at gmail,
and it's the files gone, you got

02:29.820 --> 02:33.990
to do something. I don't know
what you want me to do. But if

02:33.990 --> 02:37.560
you send them the file, right, I
think at broker fair, we will

02:37.560 --> 02:40.530
have the opportunity to meet all
these brokers, and have these

02:40.530 --> 02:42.210
brokers, you know, the funders, 
the lenders, and hopefully

02:42.210 --> 02:46.290
put a face to the names, 
ou know, everybody does good 

02:46.290 --> 02:50.280
solid, fair business. That's really 
my goal, you know, hopefully

02:50.280 --> 02:55.710
do a few of these things a year
 And beyond that, I'd like to,

02:55.920 --> 02:59.010
by the way, the website right now
is broker fair.org. If you go

02:59.010 --> 03:01.620
there, it's just a placeholder
page. If you're interested in

03:01.620 --> 03:04.110
sponsoring and/or attending it,
just put in your email address

03:04.110 --> 03:06.540
That's all it is right now.
It will be a full website with 

03:06.540 --> 03:11.700
sponsorship and ticket information 
later in the month. And 

03:11.700 --> 03:15.570
then, yeah, definitely check that 
out. And then beyond that,

03:15.570 --> 03:18.780
anyone who came here, I want
to thank the sponsors for

03:18.780 --> 03:21.780
helping put it together. you
clap for that? Okay

03:28.440 --> 03:32.640
SOS Capital, so they had a really
cool logo on the shirts here.

03:32.730 --> 03:35.550
That was one of the big expensive
items. So thank you SOS Capital

03:41.310 --> 03:45.060
I want to thank my event
planner Sarah over there who

03:45.060 --> 03:46.380
helped me do all this.

03:52.170 --> 03:54.720
I want to thank my wife, Ruby,
who's actually here today

04:01.500 --> 04:04.440
to do more work. Thank you.
