This is 20 00:00:34.950 --> 00:00:40.320 the last live streaming before the big event. 21 00:00:40.710 --> 00:00:41.610 Sean Murray: True, it is. 22 00:00:41.660 --> 00:00:45.050 Johny Fernandez: I am excited. I am pumped a couple of things to 23 00:00:45.050 --> 00:00:45.830 go over though. 24 00:00:45.900 --> 00:00:46.320 Sean Murray: Okay. 25 00:00:46.360 --> 00:00:48.820 Johny Fernandez: Number one, tickets are sold out. 26 00:00:48.850 --> 00:00:49.540 Sean Murray: No more tickets. 27 00:00:49.570 --> 00:00:52.360 Johny Fernandez: No more tickets, deBanked Connect Miami 28 00:00:52.360 --> 00:00:56.890 is going to be, probably it's if I'm not mistaking the most the 29 00:00:56.890 --> 00:00:58.240 biggest event of all. 30 00:00:58.480 --> 00:01:00.820 Sean Murray: Of all the deBanked Connect events. 31 00:01:00.820 --> 00:01:01.240 Johny Fernandez: Events yeah. 32 00:01:01.270 --> 00:01:04.570 Sean Murray: It is the most registrations we have ever had. 33 00:01:04.600 --> 00:01:08.320 I did say on social media, that we have more people registered 34 00:01:08.320 --> 00:01:13.450 for deBanked Connect Miami than attended Broker Fair 2021. 35 00:01:13.540 --> 00:01:13.930 Johny Fernandez: Wow. 36 00:01:13.930 --> 00:01:15.250 Sean Murray: So it's a pretty big milestone. 37 00:01:15.250 --> 00:01:16.540 Johny Fernandez: Yeah, it's a huge milestone. 38 00:01:16.600 --> 00:01:19.630 Sean Murray: And we have talked on the show repeatedly about 39 00:01:19.870 --> 00:01:24.010 needing to buy tickets early. I always I always qualify that by 40 00:01:24.010 --> 00:01:27.910 saying it's not part of any type of promotion or a sales pitch. 41 00:01:27.940 --> 00:01:29.800 It's just because here we are. 42 00:01:29.830 --> 00:01:30.160 Johny Fernandez: Yeah. 43 00:01:30.160 --> 00:01:32.710 Sean Murray: A few days before the event, people are asking if 44 00:01:32.710 --> 00:01:35.290 there's any tickets available. And unfortunately, we do not 45 00:01:35.290 --> 00:01:38.050 have any more left. They are completely gone. But it's 46 00:01:38.050 --> 00:01:39.070 exciting at the same time. 47 00:01:39.070 --> 00:01:42.000 Johny Fernandez: Yeah, it is. I'm excited because I know a lot 48 00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:46.110 of people since we announced this back in at Broker Fair, a 49 00:01:46.110 --> 00:01:49.110 lot of people they're looking forward to it. And they've been 50 00:01:49.110 --> 00:01:51.390 talking about it that they're gonna go and some people were 51 00:01:51.390 --> 00:01:53.580 like, oh, like, I'm going to wait, you know, and at the end 52 00:01:53.580 --> 00:01:56.640 of the day, whoever got their tickets, got it. And then you 53 00:01:56.640 --> 00:01:58.440 don't want we've said this before, you don't want to be the 54 00:01:58.440 --> 00:02:02.490 guy at the bar hanging out by themselves. There will probably 55 00:02:02.490 --> 00:02:04.680 be a couple people like that, that did not get their tickets. 56 00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:07.000 Sean Murray: It happens. I do. I do feel bad though. Like, you 57 00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:09.730 know, when I say that I don't ever feel good about people not 58 00:02:09.730 --> 00:02:12.490 getting in. But there's a certain amount of planning that 59 00:02:12.490 --> 00:02:15.610 has to go into the event ahead of time. And we can't find out 60 00:02:15.610 --> 00:02:18.190 the day before the event or the day of the event of oh, here's 61 00:02:18.190 --> 00:02:21.340 how many people we have. Because you have to plan, how much food 62 00:02:21.340 --> 00:02:23.200 we're going to have how many drinks we're going to have the 63 00:02:23.200 --> 00:02:26.440 venue needs to know. And so we do plan things out ahead of 64 00:02:26.440 --> 00:02:29.140 time, kind of what our expectations are. And in certain 65 00:02:29.140 --> 00:02:31.900 cases, well, I guess you could say almost in every case, we end 66 00:02:31.900 --> 00:02:35.230 up exceeding what our expectations are pretty early 67 00:02:35.230 --> 00:02:38.050 on. Yeah. To the point where we had to shut off registration 68 00:02:38.230 --> 00:02:41.140 already more than a week ago. Yeah. And now here we are a few 69 00:02:41.140 --> 00:02:44.020 days before the event and the tickets are gone. It's sold out. 70 00:02:44.380 --> 00:02:48.880 We're very excited about it. Yeah. And we are kind of amazed 71 00:02:48.910 --> 00:02:50.320 by the amount of regestration that we ended up getting. 72 00:02:50.320 --> 00:02:52.840 Johny Fernandez: Yeah, for sure. So let's talk a little bit 73 00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:56.680 before about what's going to happen before the actual event, 74 00:02:56.680 --> 00:02:59.740 we have a golf outing. So that is gonna be happening at the 75 00:02:59.740 --> 00:03:03.220 Miami Shores Country Club, it's going to be on March 23. It's 76 00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:08.530 $99. And it's 20 minutes from the hotel. So with that being 77 00:03:08.530 --> 00:03:12.100 said, Sean, you will be there. But where will people be able to 78 00:03:12.100 --> 00:03:13.960 find you when they get there? 79 00:03:14.290 --> 00:03:17.200 Sean Murray: All right, so I will not be out golfing myself 80 00:03:17.200 --> 00:03:17.740 personally. 81 00:03:17.770 --> 00:03:18.310 Johny Fernandez: Correct. 82 00:03:18.940 --> 00:03:21.640 Sean Murray: I actually don't golf, but I know a lot of other 83 00:03:21.670 --> 00:03:24.490 people in the industry do. And we did have quite a number of 84 00:03:24.490 --> 00:03:28.510 people sign up to golf. It is not part of the event itself. 85 00:03:28.510 --> 00:03:28.930 Johny Fernandez: Correct. 86 00:03:28.930 --> 00:03:29.850 Sean Murray: This is separate. 87 00:03:29.850 --> 00:03:29.980 So to clarify, that means a completely separate ticket. And 88 00:03:29.980 --> 00:03:30.000 Johny Fernandez: Correct. 89 00:03:33.830 --> 00:03:37.160 to clarify, again, that means your ticket that you get for the 90 00:03:37.160 --> 00:03:42.080 actual Connect event does not include the ticket for the golf 91 00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:43.100 outing. Completely. 92 00:03:43.100 --> 00:03:44.390 Sean Murray: That's right. That's right. 93 00:03:44.450 --> 00:03:45.470 Johny Fernandez: Just want to clarify that. 94 00:03:45.470 --> 00:03:45.830 Sean Murray: Yeah. 95 00:03:45.860 --> 00:03:47.420 Johny Fernandez: Some people will always have questions and 96 00:03:47.420 --> 00:03:49.430 we just want to make sure we get everything cleared up. 97 00:03:49.460 --> 00:03:51.710 Sean Murray: Yeah. So I'll be at the clubhouse when people get 98 00:03:51.710 --> 00:03:55.130 there in the morning. That's my plan anyway. So I should see 99 00:03:55.160 --> 00:04:00.590 those who are coming off as they go out, to golf for the day. And 100 00:04:00.590 --> 00:04:04.070 I will be around too, and it won't just be me. Also Adam from 101 00:04:04.100 --> 00:04:05.000 deBanked will be there. 102 00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:07.670 Johny Fernandez: He's the other reporter. Another reporter that 103 00:04:07.670 --> 00:04:08.810 is part of our team here. 104 00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:09.290 Sean Murray: Yeah. 105 00:04:09.320 --> 00:04:10.040 Johny Fernandez: He will be there. 106 00:04:10.070 --> 00:04:12.110 Sean Murray: So we will have a few people from the deBanked 107 00:04:12.110 --> 00:04:15.110 team that will be there. We won't necessarily be golfing 108 00:04:15.290 --> 00:04:16.100 ourselves. 109 00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:17.210 Johny Fernandez: I won't be there. 110 00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:18.020 Sean Murray: You won't be there? 111 00:04:20.060 --> 00:04:20.780 Johny Fernandez: You know where I'll be? 112 00:04:21.260 --> 00:04:22.190 Sean Murray: Where will you be? 113 00:04:22.190 --> 00:04:23.260 Johny Fernandez: I'll be flying high. 114 00:04:23.830 --> 00:04:24.610 Sean Murray: Flying high? 115 00:04:24.910 --> 00:04:26.890 Johny Fernandez: Not like that in our airplane, I'll be heading 116 00:04:26.890 --> 00:04:27.580 to Miami. 117 00:04:27.670 --> 00:04:31.750 Sean Murray: Okay. So where are you flying in from like Mexico? 118 00:04:31.780 --> 00:04:34.840 Johny Fernandez: No, I'm flying from New York to Miami Beach. 119 00:04:34.840 --> 00:04:36.160 Sean Murray: Oh, fancy. 120 00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:36.670 Johny Fernandez: Yeah. 121 00:04:36.700 --> 00:04:37.180 Sean Murray: Okay. 122 00:04:37.180 --> 00:04:38.530 Johny Fernandez: Yeah. All right, Miami Beach. 123 00:04:38.530 --> 00:04:40.360 Sean Murray: Yeah, I know you love Miami Beach. 124 00:04:40.390 --> 00:04:42.580 Johny Fernandez: I do like Miami Beach. But anyways, so that 125 00:04:42.580 --> 00:04:46.180 morning, you'll be there, Adam's gonna be there and it's gonna be 126 00:04:46.180 --> 00:04:50.440 a good time, you know, to pretty much hang out, golf. 127 00:04:50.470 --> 00:04:52.300 Sean Murray: Yeah, we do have a number of people who are signed 128 00:04:52.300 --> 00:04:56.230 up a couple dozen people are already signed up. So you'll see 129 00:04:56.230 --> 00:04:58.810 some people from the deBanked team there. We will stick around 130 00:04:59.320 --> 00:05:02.650 at least for the time that people are golfing. And then the 131 00:05:02.650 --> 00:05:04.060 big event is the following day. 132 00:05:04.060 --> 00:05:06.580 Johny Fernandez: Yeah. So let's talk a little bit about the big 133 00:05:06.580 --> 00:05:08.890 event because that is what a lot of people are looking forward 134 00:05:08.890 --> 00:05:11.710 to. So the big event is going to start registration starts at one 135 00:05:11.710 --> 00:05:15.040 o'clock. And then from there, you know, your opening starts at 136 00:05:15.100 --> 00:05:17.980 about, like 230, if I'm not mistaking. And then from there, 137 00:05:17.980 --> 00:05:21.250 we have the panels. Let's talk a little bit about the panels. 138 00:05:21.550 --> 00:05:24.670 First, we have four different panels, Selling Sunshine. 139 00:05:24.700 --> 00:05:28.840 Funding On The Front Line, The Last Stop, Tech. So I know these 140 00:05:28.840 --> 00:05:32.890 have been panels they have, you know, we built we built them, 141 00:05:32.890 --> 00:05:36.070 and then we have different speakers for them. What which 142 00:05:36.070 --> 00:05:37.750 one, are you looking forward to the most? 143 00:05:38.230 --> 00:05:41.680 Sean Murray: Well, I don't want to show any type of favoritism. 144 00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:44.290 Johny Fernandez: Let me rephrase that. Which one do you think 145 00:05:44.290 --> 00:05:45.670 people will be most interested? 146 00:05:45.700 --> 00:05:47.860 Sean Murray: Also don't want to answer. Johny, you're trying to 147 00:05:47.860 --> 00:05:49.270 put me in a dangerous spot. 148 00:05:49.510 --> 00:05:53.020 Johny Fernandez: Let me ask you this. Which one have people 149 00:05:53.020 --> 00:05:53.980 talked most about? 150 00:05:53.980 --> 00:05:54.370 Sean Murray: Nope. 151 00:05:54.400 --> 00:05:57.400 Johny Fernandez: Nope? Darnet. Because there's no favoritism. 152 00:05:57.690 --> 00:05:59.730 Sean Murray: Yeah, my PR person told me not to comment. 153 00:05:59.790 --> 00:06:01.530 Johny Fernandez: That's, that's great. That's a good, that's a 154 00:06:01.530 --> 00:06:04.050 good. That's a good response. All right. Let me ask you this. 155 00:06:04.080 --> 00:06:05.040 Sean Murray: I liked them all. 156 00:06:05.070 --> 00:06:05.430 Johny Fernandez: Okay. 157 00:06:05.460 --> 00:06:07.050 Sean Murray: People are talking about all of them equally. 158 00:06:07.080 --> 00:06:07.440 Johny Fernandez: Okay. 159 00:06:07.440 --> 00:06:10.530 Sean Murray: And I'm very excited about all of them. 160 00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:12.670 Johny Fernandez: Okay, that's a great response. That really is, 161 00:06:12.760 --> 00:06:15.820 if this wasn't planned, let me ask you this. What's your 162 00:06:15.820 --> 00:06:19.030 favorite part about the Connect events versus just what's your 163 00:06:19.030 --> 00:06:19.990 favorite part of the Connect event? 164 00:06:20.890 --> 00:06:25.060 Sean Murray: Okay, so the networking at the Miami events 165 00:06:25.090 --> 00:06:29.890 are usually unreal, unreal, they are networking focused. And we 166 00:06:29.890 --> 00:06:32.620 do that for a reason is because people are there for that very 167 00:06:32.620 --> 00:06:36.070 specific purpose. They want to talk with all their industry, 168 00:06:36.070 --> 00:06:40.420 colleagues, peers, and competitors, and so forth. And 169 00:06:40.420 --> 00:06:43.180 it continues all throughout the day, even though it's a half 170 00:06:43.180 --> 00:06:47.470 day, we're going to be, you know, socializing at least until 171 00:06:47.470 --> 00:06:51.010 eight o'clock at night. And then people tend to do after parties 172 00:06:51.010 --> 00:06:54.520 afterwards that go out to at least you know, 12, 12 at night, 173 00:06:54.520 --> 00:06:57.850 it just been my experience. And so even if there's like a one 174 00:06:58.060 --> 00:07:01.390 one o'clock kind of check in time, you're still looking at 175 00:07:01.390 --> 00:07:05.290 potentially, including the, you know, our own, happy hour, and 176 00:07:05.290 --> 00:07:07.450 the events that take place afterwards that are not 177 00:07:07.750 --> 00:07:10.600 officially part of deBanked, we're still looking at, you 178 00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:14.650 know, 10, 11 hours of networking, both at our event, 179 00:07:14.830 --> 00:07:18.790 and after it. And honestly, I do love the panels. And the 180 00:07:18.790 --> 00:07:22.930 speakers are amazing. Yeah. But in terms of what is typically 181 00:07:23.200 --> 00:07:27.250 kind of what makes Miami so special the deBanked Connect 182 00:07:27.250 --> 00:07:30.610 Miami events, so special, it is the networking and the 183 00:07:30.610 --> 00:07:33.010 socializing that goes on the environment, it just so 184 00:07:33.010 --> 00:07:36.490 conducive to getting along and, and meeting people. 185 00:07:36.520 --> 00:07:38.230 Johny Fernandez: Yeah, and I think a big part of that, 186 00:07:38.260 --> 00:07:42.580 versus, you know, when we New York is, you know, different, 187 00:07:42.580 --> 00:07:44.950 Broker, Broker Fair is different, you know, it's in the 188 00:07:44.950 --> 00:07:47.560 city, I've always realized that any event that takes place down 189 00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:50.110 in Miami, it's people are a little bit more relaxed. You 190 00:07:50.110 --> 00:07:52.960 might see some people with a tropical shirt on. I don't know, 191 00:07:52.960 --> 00:07:55.840 maybe you might see that again, this time coming around. Not 192 00:07:55.840 --> 00:07:57.700 that I'm like trying to hint at anything. 193 00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:00.480 Sean Murray: Wait am I the one? Am I the one wearing a tropical 194 00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:00.780 shirt? 195 00:08:01.470 --> 00:08:02.670 Johny Fernandez: I might be wearing a tropical shirt. 196 00:08:02.670 --> 00:08:04.200 Sean Murray: Oh, so now we're getting to the answer. 197 00:08:05.230 --> 00:08:07.300 Johny Fernandez: No, but I think just that environment, like you 198 00:08:07.300 --> 00:08:09.850 said, it definitely just relaxes people, because they feel like, 199 00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:12.640 you know, in different events, depending on where you're at, 200 00:08:12.640 --> 00:08:15.010 you know, you're a little bit more buttoned up. But Miami, you 201 00:08:15.010 --> 00:08:18.190 know, you're talking you got like, a little more casual dress 202 00:08:18.190 --> 00:08:22.090 on. And then you have like a margarita in your hands. So I 203 00:08:22.090 --> 00:08:24.670 think that that's also a big part of just the environment 204 00:08:24.670 --> 00:08:28.180 that we're in, when it comes to that. But I also do will say 205 00:08:28.180 --> 00:08:32.290 that I know a lot of guys that went to Broker Fair, a lot of 206 00:08:32.290 --> 00:08:35.350 new guys, cause I talk with a lot of the new people, because I 207 00:08:35.350 --> 00:08:37.300 like to pick their brains, especially when they're starting 208 00:08:37.300 --> 00:08:39.880 something new, versus someone that's been in the industry for 209 00:08:39.880 --> 00:08:42.280 a while. And I think a lot of things that I've heard from 210 00:08:42.280 --> 00:08:46.900 those guys is that they are very much into learning and 211 00:08:46.900 --> 00:08:51.160 networking, and really trying to make their business work. And 212 00:08:51.160 --> 00:08:55.600 also learn from the gurus, and then incorporate all that 213 00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:59.380 together. Because I've met a lot of the guys, you know, at Broker 214 00:08:59.380 --> 00:09:02.260 Fair, for example, and a lot of them felt lost. A lot of them 215 00:09:02.260 --> 00:09:04.930 felt that they did not know how to navigate this industry. They 216 00:09:04.930 --> 00:09:07.360 know that there's money in this industry, but they just didn't 217 00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:09.730 know how to navigate it. And you know, I met this one guy, he's 218 00:09:09.730 --> 00:09:12.160 like, man, I've been doing this for about a year, but I've only 219 00:09:12.340 --> 00:09:15.670 funded one deal. And I work, you know, 8, 10 times. Yeah. He's 220 00:09:15.670 --> 00:09:18.340 like, that's why I'm here that I just need help. I need to meet 221 00:09:18.340 --> 00:09:21.160 people. And I think something that we said that is definitely 222 00:09:21.160 --> 00:09:23.890 going to happen in Miami is that this is the event where you can 223 00:09:23.890 --> 00:09:27.550 meet people face to face versus on the phone, because the phone 224 00:09:27.550 --> 00:09:30.130 conversations always completely different and you don't know 225 00:09:30.130 --> 00:09:32.860 what they're going through. But when you put a face to the name 226 00:09:32.860 --> 00:09:35.410 and you're like, okay, like this is, you know, this is Sean 227 00:09:35.410 --> 00:09:38.500 Murray like, you know, like, it just ends up building a better 228 00:09:38.500 --> 00:09:40.930 relationship and you can take that home with you. I think 229 00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:43.870 that's something that's definitely for the younger guys 230 00:09:43.870 --> 00:09:46.720 out there that they need to take advantage of an event like this. 231 00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:50.050 Because not only is the networking aspect, great, but 232 00:09:50.050 --> 00:09:52.660 also the panels that we're going to be having, you know, like, 233 00:09:52.900 --> 00:09:55.540 I've met a lot of people that left New York to go to Florida 234 00:09:55.540 --> 00:09:59.890 and it's very it's like intense to now go down there and start 235 00:09:59.890 --> 00:10:02.530 your own business, but when you meet these people, you learn how 236 00:10:02.530 --> 00:10:05.110 to navigate a market like Florida like South Florida 237 00:10:05.110 --> 00:10:07.240 that's so popular. You know, this these are the type of 238 00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:09.880 things that will benefit you. Right. Yeah. I just wanted to 239 00:10:09.880 --> 00:10:10.330 speed up, sorry. 240 00:10:10.330 --> 00:10:11.680 Johny Fernandez: Yeah. 241 00:10:11.680 --> 00:10:11.780 Sean Murray: Yeah, no that's good. 242 00:10:11.780 --> 00:10:13.270 Sean Murray: I'm glad you're so passionate about it. 243 00:10:13.330 --> 00:10:16.180 Johny Fernandez: Well, listen, I root for the underdogs, man like 244 00:10:16.180 --> 00:10:19.090 these guys need help. And I love seeing the younger guys out 245 00:10:19.090 --> 00:10:22.330 there because it is intimidating when you go into space. And 246 00:10:22.330 --> 00:10:24.940 there's older people there that that they're veterans and you 247 00:10:24.940 --> 00:10:27.220 see them doing like great things. But those guys struggle 248 00:10:27.220 --> 00:10:30.010 too. And, you know, if you can help them out and meet and 249 00:10:30.010 --> 00:10:31.240 network, it's great. 250 00:10:31.270 --> 00:10:33.820 Sean Murray: Yeah. And deBanked Connect Miami or any deBanked 251 00:10:33.820 --> 00:10:37.390 Connect event is not just for seasoned veterans. It's not just 252 00:10:37.390 --> 00:10:40.720 for top executives. It's for everybody who's in the industry. 253 00:10:40.990 --> 00:10:45.700 At every level, it could be sales, admin, underwriting, risk 254 00:10:45.730 --> 00:10:49.360 management, collections, leads, you know whatever it is, 255 00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:51.700 whatever your role in the company is, we want you to be a 256 00:10:51.700 --> 00:10:54.790 part of it. And we typically have had people from across that 257 00:10:54.790 --> 00:10:58.360 spectrum come to them. Yeah. And the networking opportunities 258 00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:02.530 have always been great. The industry is actually, it's it's 259 00:11:02.530 --> 00:11:07.570 huge in terms of like volume funded, how many businesses get 260 00:11:07.570 --> 00:11:12.130 financing, but and the amount of dollars that go to them. But at 261 00:11:12.130 --> 00:11:15.310 the end of the day, it's also kind of small. Yeah. And if 262 00:11:15.310 --> 00:11:18.700 you're gonna get an opportunity to meet who everyone is, you're 263 00:11:18.700 --> 00:11:20.650 never going to get a better place to do it than at a 264 00:11:20.650 --> 00:11:21.520 deBanked event. 265 00:11:21.520 --> 00:11:24.101 Johny Fernandez: Yeah, for sure. And I also think, you know, a 266 00:11:24.101 --> 00:11:24.159 And it was the first time we had ever done that. 267 00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:27.730 lot of times you can get caught up in like being in the office 268 00:11:27.787 --> 00:11:31.013 all day and working hard and funding deals, your phone's 269 00:11:31.070 --> 00:11:34.814 ringing, you're just doing this, you're doing that. And you go to 270 00:11:34.871 --> 00:11:38.500 a place like Miami and you go to an event like deBanked Connect 271 00:11:38.557 --> 00:11:42.071 Miami, you finally just get to relax, get to be around people 272 00:11:42.128 --> 00:11:45.584 that also think like you but it's a break from the ordinary, 273 00:11:45.642 --> 00:11:49.097 go to the office or working from home, because let's just be 274 00:11:49.155 --> 00:11:52.438 honest, that that gets, like just doing mundane doing the 275 00:11:52.495 --> 00:11:55.778 whole thing. But this gives people a break to just relax, 276 00:11:55.836 --> 00:11:59.176 let their hair down, go like that. let their hair down and 277 00:11:59.234 --> 00:12:02.862 they get to have fun, you know, the other thing that's going to 278 00:12:02.920 --> 00:12:06.375 be awesome is the live stream that's going to be going on at 279 00:12:06.433 --> 00:12:10.350 the event, the red carpet. Yeah. So that we had this at Broker Fair. 280 00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:13.380 Sean Murray: Correct, it was the first time. 281 00:12:13.380 --> 00:12:13.680 Johny Fernandez: So now this time it's going to be we're 282 00:12:13.680 --> 00:12:14.490 The first time ever. Ever. Yeah. 283 00:12:17.290 --> 00:12:19.990 going to be there doing the live stream, I'm going to be working 284 00:12:19.990 --> 00:12:22.600 with the production team, we have great product, the 285 00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:25.090 production team here is phenomenal. And. 286 00:12:25.090 --> 00:12:27.592 Sean Murray: The same team that produced Equipping The Dream yet 287 00:12:27.592 --> 00:12:27.660 Johny Fernandez: You can look at us. 288 00:12:27.660 --> 00:12:31.845 reality show. They'll also be producing our live stream. Yeah. 289 00:12:31.912 --> 00:12:36.030 We'll even have the same host, the same host. If you like who 290 00:12:36.097 --> 00:12:40.417 is this guy?

Because 310 00:13:23.330 --> 00:13:26.480 you know, the panels and stuff. They're great, but you're we're 311 00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:27.080 going to stream. 312 00:13:27.080 --> 00:13:29.700 Sean Murray: The panels. Yeah, the panels will be live. If 313 00:13:29.758 --> 00:13:32.730 you're wondering, what is this live stream, what is this red 314 00:13:32.730 --> 00:13:33.338 Johny Fernandez: Yeah, no, and my favorite part about that is 315 00:13:33.338 --> 00:13:36.977 carpet, if you had watched those videos that were being shared 316 00:13:37.036 --> 00:13:40.734 after Broker Fair, we had a lot of interview style videos where 317 00:13:40.792 --> 00:13:44.020 yours truly, this guy was interviewing people that look 318 00:13:44.079 --> 00:13:47.659 like a red carpet. We're doing that again, at Miami. And some 319 00:13:47.718 --> 00:13:48.450 of those interviews were just a couple of minutes long. And so 320 00:13:48.450 --> 00:13:51.415 just getting to meet the different people that are part 321 00:13:51.415 --> 00:13:54.526 we invite many of you to participate. And doing that, 322 00:13:54.585 --> 00:13:58.048 again, those the live stream does turn into a set of videos 323 00:13:58.106 --> 00:14:01.393 afterwards that can be shared. So if you're hoping to be 324 00:14:01.452 --> 00:14:05.032 included, and talking about your story, your company's story, 325 00:14:05.091 --> 00:14:07.380 this is a great opportunity to do that. 326 00:14:12.840 --> 00:14:16.830 of the industry. Across the board, not just MCAs like I was 327 00:14:16.830 --> 00:14:21.000 able to interview give or take almost like 6, 50, 60 people 328 00:14:21.180 --> 00:14:24.060 just from different places. Yeah, it was the whole day. 329 00:14:24.090 --> 00:14:25.620 Sean Murray: I know. A lot of interviews. 330 00:14:25.650 --> 00:14:28.410 Johny Fernandez: That was a lot of interviews. I'm rounding like 331 00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:29.490 maybe like 55. 332 00:14:30.270 --> 00:14:31.920 Sean Murray: I like how you round it up like to the to the 333 00:14:31.920 --> 00:14:38.100 next 50 after. You're like 25, 30 just call it 65, 65, rounding 334 00:14:38.100 --> 00:14:38.340 up. 335 00:14:38.370 --> 00:14:40.080 Johny Fernandez: Rounding up. We got random always found out. 336 00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:43.440 That's my rule of life. No, it literally was 55. 337 00:14:43.470 --> 00:14:44.340 Sean Murray: Yeah, it was a lot. 338 00:14:44.370 --> 00:14:46.020 Johny Fernandez: It was a lot of because you really were there 339 00:14:46.020 --> 00:14:46.470 the whole. 340 00:14:46.470 --> 00:14:47.610 Sean Murray: Yeah, like eight, nine hours. 341 00:14:47.610 --> 00:14:50.510 Yeah. But the best part about that, specifically is that I got 342 00:14:50.510 --> 00:14:53.000 to meet people that not only live here in New York, but 343 00:14:53.030 --> 00:14:55.460 worldwide like I remember I interviewed a couple of people 344 00:14:55.460 --> 00:14:59.660 from Mexico. We had Puerto Rico. We had people from Europe, 345 00:15:00.290 --> 00:15:05.540 California, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, the 346 00:15:05.540 --> 00:15:09.440 Dominican Republic. I think what else? Those were like the 347 00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:12.410 highlights, I think. But yeah, people from everywhere was 348 00:15:12.410 --> 00:15:15.680 great. They were very kind to everyone. Everyone's a big fan. 349 00:15:15.680 --> 00:15:20.840 So I love that people watch her stuff. Yeah. So and you know, at 350 00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:24.860 the end of the day, the other thing is that I believe that 351 00:15:24.860 --> 00:15:27.080 this is going to be the type of end it's going to set the tone 352 00:15:27.080 --> 00:15:30.440 for the summer, you know, for the industry. So we're gonna be 353 00:15:30.500 --> 00:15:32.960 super excited about it. I'm excited about it. There's gonna 354 00:15:32.960 --> 00:15:37.040 be beach balls everywhere. Palm trees, sunglasses. 355 00:15:38.510 --> 00:15:40.160 People are doing this with their hair. 356 00:15:40.370 --> 00:15:42.440 Johny Fernandez: Let their hair. Isn't that saying let your hair 357 00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:43.220 down to have fun. 358 00:15:43.580 --> 00:15:45.320 Sean Murray: I don't know if that is saying it sounds like it 359 00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:45.980 would be a saying. 360 00:15:45.980 --> 00:15:46.110 Johny Fernandez: Yeah, but that's what people are going to 361 00:15:46.110 --> 00:15:48.256 Yeah, and The Tech is not a panel. It's a series of 362 00:15:48.256 --> 00:15:51.481 be doing down in Miami. So again, the panels for the day. I 363 00:15:51.536 --> 00:15:54.870 feel like those are definitely gonna be phenomenal panels. We 364 00:15:54.925 --> 00:15:57.877 can recap that, Selling Sunshine, Funding On The Front 365 00:15:57.932 --> 00:15:59.299 Lines, Tech. And the last 366 00:16:01.920 --> 00:16:02.940 presentations. 367 00:16:03.030 --> 00:16:06.840 Okay. So good clarification. Thank you. And that's going to 368 00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:10.440 be from till around three o'clock to about six. So. 369 00:16:10.470 --> 00:16:12.570 Sean Murray: And then that happy hour. Yep. 370 00:16:12.570 --> 00:16:13.020 Johny Fernandez: Yeah. 371 00:16:13.020 --> 00:16:15.450 Sean Murray: Cocktail hour, I'm supposed to call it. Yeah. 372 00:16:16.200 --> 00:16:17.790 Johny Fernandez: That's gonna be great, too, because that's going 373 00:16:17.790 --> 00:16:20.340 to be the time where you know you can, from six to eight, you 374 00:16:20.340 --> 00:16:24.630 can just network, talk to people have fun, let your hair loose. 375 00:16:24.630 --> 00:16:28.200 Sean Murray: Do do a little Johny Fernandez action, and we 376 00:16:28.200 --> 00:16:30.510 will have kosher food at the event. All of our events have 377 00:16:30.510 --> 00:16:34.560 kosher foods. So if you keep kosher, that's something that we 378 00:16:34.560 --> 00:16:38.040 make sure to offer at the events. I know, a lot of you 379 00:16:38.280 --> 00:16:41.400 select that option, when you are registering for your ticket, we 380 00:16:41.400 --> 00:16:44.100 don't ask you for fun. We do provide kosher food at the 381 00:16:44.100 --> 00:16:47.370 event. So if you are hungry, that will be something that is 382 00:16:47.370 --> 00:16:51.720 available. Yeah. So in addition to all other types of food and 383 00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:52.530 beverages as well. 384 00:16:52.560 --> 00:16:53.760 Johny Fernandez: It's gonna be great. Sean, do you have 385 00:16:53.760 --> 00:16:57.330 anything else you want to say before we depart this 386 00:16:57.360 --> 00:17:00.540 livestream, that you want people to know that you want people to 387 00:17:00.540 --> 00:17:02.370 be aware of? Just anything. 388 00:17:02.670 --> 00:17:05.880 Sean Murray: Yeah. Just don't get there like eight or 9am. We 389 00:17:05.880 --> 00:17:08.670 won't be ready to check you in if you're there that early. Just 390 00:17:08.670 --> 00:17:11.400 pay attention to the agenda. This is not Broker Fair, it 391 00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:13.620 doesn't start at eight o'clock in the morning. Yeah, it starts 392 00:17:13.620 --> 00:17:16.830 around. As Johnny said, We know one o'clock, you can check in a 393 00:17:16.830 --> 00:17:19.590 little bit earlier than that, if you're already around, but you 394 00:17:19.590 --> 00:17:21.750 know, don't show up at eight o'clock. And know wonder where 395 00:17:21.750 --> 00:17:25.260 everybody is. It's at the JW Marriott, Marquis, there's 396 00:17:25.290 --> 00:17:28.800 different Marriotts in Miami. So you got to pick the right one 397 00:17:28.800 --> 00:17:32.250 JW, Marriott, Marquis, make sure you're at the right place. And 398 00:17:32.670 --> 00:17:34.860 we do not have any more tickets available. I know that I'm still 399 00:17:34.860 --> 00:17:39.750 getting emails, I do feel bad that we just do not have any 400 00:17:39.750 --> 00:17:43.110 more room we have done all that we can to accommodate those that 401 00:17:43.110 --> 00:17:46.530 have already registered for the event. Next time, hey, that 402 00:17:46.530 --> 00:17:49.680 means next time maybe even bigger, right? It's a good it's 403 00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:52.830 a it's a good thing to have so much interest, we we love all of 404 00:17:52.830 --> 00:17:56.790 you who want to be a part of it. Thank you for your interest. And 405 00:17:57.270 --> 00:18:00.000 this event is going to be great. And hopefully the next one we do 406 00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:02.910 will just be so much larger. Yeah. And everybody gets in. 407 00:18:02.910 --> 00:18:05.427 Johny Fernandez: Yeah no, that's the plan everyone can hopefully 408 00:18:05.481 --> 00:18:08.895 get in, they sign up on time and they can get in. And the other 409 00:18:08.949 --> 00:18:11.821 thing I will say this and I'm just saying this out of 410 00:18:11.876 --> 00:18:14.910 experience about regarding driving in Miami, there's you 411 00:18:14.965 --> 00:18:18.162 have to have adequate, adequate timing to make sure you get 412 00:18:18.216 --> 00:18:21.360 there on time because I think going you know if people are 413 00:18:21.414 --> 00:18:24.665 flying in from different places, they don't really know what 414 00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:27.971 Miami traffic is like Miami traffic is a very real thing. So 415 00:18:28.025 --> 00:18:31.331 please take into consideration if you need to be there by one 416 00:18:31.385 --> 00:18:34.529 o'clock leave with enough time because traffic is always a 417 00:18:34.583 --> 00:18:37.780 nightmare in Miami. I will I will say that very confidently 418 00:18:37.834 --> 00:18:41.140 because I I've been fooled and I almost missed my flight ones 419 00:18:41.194 --> 00:18:43.200 because I was like I have 20 minutes. 420 00:18:44.730 --> 00:18:46.050 Sean Murray: Just, just once? 421 00:18:46.610 --> 00:18:48.659 Johny Fernandez: Just once. I ran at the gate they're about to 422 00:18:48.704 --> 00:18:49.980 close the door. I'm like no. 423 00:18:50.279 --> 00:18:51.690 Sean Murray: Pulled like a like a home alone? 424 00:18:53.640 --> 00:18:56.051 Johny Fernandez: Pretty much. But I honestly I felt so 425 00:18:56.116 --> 00:18:59.895 confident saying I have enough time woke up early. And the 426 00:18:59.960 --> 00:19:03.740 traffic fooled me. Yeah. So, yeah. But other than that, we 427 00:19:03.805 --> 00:19:07.389 are excited to see you over in Miami at the JW Marriott 428 00:19:07.454 --> 00:19:11.430 Marquis, from everyone here at deBanked, I'm Johny Fernandez. 429 00:19:11.489 --> 00:19:12.419 Sean Murray: I'm Sean Murray. 430 00:19:12.419 --> 00:19:14.400 Johny Fernandez: And we'll see you next time. Have a good one.
