1 00:00:00.540 --> 00:00:03.000 Johny Fernandez: All right, so go ahead and tell me your 2 00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:03.480 company. 3 00:00:04.260 --> 00:00:06.360 Josh Feinberg: My company is Everlasting Capital. 4 00:00:06.450 --> 00:00:07.800 Johny Fernandez: And your name is? 5 00:00:08.100 --> 00:00:11.070 Josh Feinberg: Josh Feinberg. Alright. And I also am part of 6 00:00:11.070 --> 00:00:14.070 Equipment Broker School and equipment financingleads.com. 7 00:00:14.190 --> 00:00:17.490 Johny Fernandez: Alright, so you, you just spoken on a panel, 8 00:00:17.520 --> 00:00:20.010 you know, regarding broker culture, kind of walk me through 9 00:00:20.550 --> 00:00:23.010 the big takeaway from that entire conversation that you 10 00:00:23.010 --> 00:00:23.490 guys had, you know, 11 00:00:23.490 --> 00:00:26.850 Josh Feinberg: You know, I think the big topic that was held and 12 00:00:26.850 --> 00:00:29.670 a lot of the questions that we got even asked after the panel 13 00:00:29.730 --> 00:00:32.610 was talking about hiring, and you know, making sure that 14 00:00:32.610 --> 00:00:35.220 you're hiring the right people, but not only hiring the right 15 00:00:35.220 --> 00:00:38.460 people, but also getting rid of the people that are in your 16 00:00:38.460 --> 00:00:41.730 company that could be toxic to your culture. And I think that's 17 00:00:41.730 --> 00:00:45.690 one of the biggest topics in our industry, that really isn't 18 00:00:45.690 --> 00:00:49.440 talked about enough. Because building a company scaling a 19 00:00:49.440 --> 00:00:53.700 brokerage is difficult as is, but then when you actually add 20 00:00:53.700 --> 00:00:57.660 in, you know, bad eggs into the mix, and you have to think about 21 00:00:57.660 --> 00:01:00.300 culture. You know, I think it's really important to, you know, 22 00:01:00.300 --> 00:01:01.140 focus on that. 23 00:01:01.170 --> 00:01:04.560 Johny Fernandez: So go ahead and walk me through I mean, 2020 was 24 00:01:04.590 --> 00:01:07.230 an interesting year, because now you have to kind of adjust to 25 00:01:07.230 --> 00:01:09.510 everyone's needs. Some people want to work from home, some 26 00:01:09.510 --> 00:01:11.490 people don't want to come to the office. Yeah. Kind of what's 27 00:01:11.490 --> 00:01:13.860 been the big takeaway from the people that were presenting at 28 00:01:14.160 --> 00:01:17.070 the broker culture panel? What was your takeaway regarding 29 00:01:17.070 --> 00:01:17.430 that? 30 00:01:18.690 --> 00:01:20.700 Josh Feinberg: I mean, the takeaway was to really, you 31 00:01:20.700 --> 00:01:24.060 know, build a fun culture. I mean, the takeaway is building a 32 00:01:24.060 --> 00:01:28.500 fun culture. You know, 2020 was a crazy year. And it's really 33 00:01:28.500 --> 00:01:32.580 hard to, you know, talk about culture. One of the questions 34 00:01:32.580 --> 00:01:35.280 actually, that you asked, as you brought that up, was, how do you 35 00:01:35.340 --> 00:01:39.210 deal with culture in a remote learning area? And there wasn't 36 00:01:39.210 --> 00:01:41.580 an answer from any of us, because we don't we don't work 37 00:01:41.580 --> 00:01:44.910 remote. And it's really kind of difficult to be able to build 38 00:01:44.910 --> 00:01:46.800 culture. I mean, I'm sure there's a way but we weren't 39 00:01:46.800 --> 00:01:47.730 able to answer that. 40 00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:50.310 Johny Fernandez: Yeah. So let's talk a little bit about the 41 00:01:50.310 --> 00:01:53.880 experience here so far. I mean, you were back here, we're back 42 00:01:53.880 --> 00:01:57.570 in person, everyone is happy to be kind of walk me through 43 00:01:57.570 --> 00:01:59.310 what's been the experience for you? 44 00:01:59.850 --> 00:02:01.590 Josh Feinberg: The experience here has been amazing, man. 45 00:02:01.890 --> 00:02:04.860 We're back in person, I look around. And it's just everyone's 46 00:02:04.860 --> 00:02:09.360 smiling, having fun. And last night, we had the pre reception 47 00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:11.640 show, and it was so good. I mean, it was so good, that we're 48 00:02:11.640 --> 00:02:14.430 catching up with a bunch of people that I haven't seen in a 49 00:02:14.430 --> 00:02:18.600 long time, meeting a bunch of new faces, and making really 50 00:02:18.600 --> 00:02:20.970 good business connections. I mean, that's really what it's 51 00:02:20.970 --> 00:02:23.940 about is, you know, connecting with old friends making new 52 00:02:23.940 --> 00:02:26.970 connections and, you know, building each other up, because 53 00:02:26.970 --> 00:02:29.250 I think that's the most important thing is building each 54 00:02:29.250 --> 00:02:32.040 other up, because we're not the biggest industry in the world. 55 00:02:32.610 --> 00:02:34.800 So we need to be there for each other and really help each other 56 00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:35.100 out. 57 00:02:35.250 --> 00:02:36.960 Johny Fernandez: So kind of walk me through, there's a lot of new 58 00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:39.990 people that are new to the industry here. Yeah. So what's 59 00:02:39.990 --> 00:02:42.570 been like the conversation you've had with them, for the 60 00:02:42.570 --> 00:02:46.080 new people that have never been to a Broker Fair, or that have 61 00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:49.980 seen the industry through just being remote and being in 62 00:02:49.980 --> 00:02:50.430 quarantine? 63 00:02:50.970 --> 00:02:54.600 Josh Feinberg: Um, I think I've talked to a couple specific, 64 00:02:54.930 --> 00:02:57.720 yeah, a couple brand new brokers that are coming in, that are 65 00:02:57.720 --> 00:03:01.050 really, really struggling getting started. And, you know, 66 00:03:01.050 --> 00:03:03.720 I was really happy to be able to share some advice and learn what 67 00:03:03.720 --> 00:03:07.470 they're, you know, doing wrong, and really trying to help them 68 00:03:07.500 --> 00:03:10.560 grow. Because I've been in a lot of the new broker shoes, you 69 00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:13.290 know, I started from absolutely nothing in a basement with three 70 00:03:13.290 --> 00:03:17.130 grand, and, you know, built everlasting and equipment broker 71 00:03:17.130 --> 00:03:19.890 school to what it is today. So I have the ability of being able 72 00:03:19.890 --> 00:03:23.790 to share my experience. And you know, who would I be if I wasn't 73 00:03:23.790 --> 00:03:26.130 able to share that experience with other people to help them 74 00:03:26.130 --> 00:03:28.050 get to the next level? You know, it wouldn't be fair. 75 00:03:28.200 --> 00:03:30.270 Johny Fernandez: Yeah. So what would you tell people that are 76 00:03:30.270 --> 00:03:33.420 watching this about being here in person, if they didn't get a 77 00:03:33.420 --> 00:03:34.230 chance to be here? 78 00:03:34.590 --> 00:03:38.490 Josh Feinberg: If you're not here, especially for an in 79 00:03:38.490 --> 00:03:42.720 person deBanked event, you have to come. There's so much 80 00:03:42.750 --> 00:03:45.870 experience, it's so much fun. And there's so many great people 81 00:03:45.870 --> 00:03:48.240 that are willing to help you get to the next level, you have to 82 00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:51.990 come to them in person I mean the one in Miami. That was a 83 00:03:51.990 --> 00:03:55.920 great announcement. I mean, I am so excited to go to Miami, 84 00:03:56.130 --> 00:04:01.170 obviously, to hang out with you, obviously. But no, just going to 85 00:04:01.170 --> 00:04:03.990 Miami, man, it's gonna be a great time. And the turnout here 86 00:04:03.990 --> 00:04:06.810 is incredible. I mean, this is one of the biggest ones I've 87 00:04:06.810 --> 00:04:09.120 seen. And it's just amazing. 88 00:04:09.150 --> 00:04:11.490 Johny Fernandez: Yeah. So what's the panel that you're most 89 00:04:11.490 --> 00:04:15.000 looking forward to?
