00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.370
Unknown: Tax Guards is always
looking to partner with new

2
00:00:02.370 --> 00:00:06.720
lenders in the space and try to
offer due diligence to people.

3
00:00:06.720 --> 00:00:09.000
And I think this is a great
opportunity right now to find

4
00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:10.770
new people, because there's a
lot of capital in the

5
00:00:10.770 --> 00:00:13.080
marketplace that people are
looking to deploy. And I think

6
00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:15.540
there's a lot of opportunity for
new players to enter the game.

7
00:00:16.890 --> 00:00:18.870
And how are you feeling now that
it's been so far?

8
00:00:19.260 --> 00:00:21.630
I think it's been great. The
turnout obviously, is really

9
00:00:21.630 --> 00:00:24.750
positive. It's the busiest event
we've ever had here with

10
00:00:24.780 --> 00:00:28.140
deBanked. We went to the Broker
Fair in Miami last year, maybe

11
00:00:28.170 --> 00:00:31.800
deBanked Connect. And I think it
was about half this attendance.

12
00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:33.870
So we've been able to connect
with a lot more people and it's

13
00:00:33.870 --> 00:00:34.470
been awesome.

14
00:00:36.070 --> 00:00:38.260
Have you and your company have
you been able to make a lot of

15
00:00:38.260 --> 00:00:40.150
connections with potential
clients?

16
00:00:40.620 --> 00:00:43.200
Absolutely, yeah. We've seen a
lot of new faces here that we've

17
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:45.420
never heard of before and been
able to connect with a lot of

18
00:00:45.420 --> 00:00:47.910
new people and also exploring
different avenues that we

19
00:00:47.910 --> 00:00:50.850
weren't even necessarily aware
of. So I think it's been really

20
00:00:50.850 --> 00:00:51.330
positive.

21
00:00:52.530 --> 00:00:55.170
And why do you think this is a
valuable tool for this industry?

22
00:00:56.250 --> 00:00:58.590
I mean, it's a really valuable
tool because everybody can get

23
00:00:58.590 --> 00:01:01.440
together and kind of learn from
each other and not feel quite as

24
00:01:01.440 --> 00:01:04.380
competitive. You know, really
learn some new ideas, ideas and

25
00:01:04.380 --> 00:01:07.650
ways to innovate and just meet
new people.
