1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.160
Johny Fernandez: Go ahead and
walk me through business so far

2
00:00:02.160 --> 00:00:03.960
since January, what's it been
like for you?

3
00:00:04.020 --> 00:00:05.580
Frankie DiAntonio: Yeah. So I
mean, typically, we've been

4
00:00:05.580 --> 00:00:09.210
funding about two to $3 million
a month. We are new, we're a new

5
00:00:09.210 --> 00:00:12.570
team on the block, we're the new
kids on the block. You know, we

6
00:00:12.570 --> 00:00:15.090
opened up the company about a
year ago, my guys are young,

7
00:00:15.090 --> 00:00:17.280
they're hungry, you know I've
seen a lot of blue collar kids

8
00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:19.500
out from the neighborhood, you
know what I mean? And I put them

9
00:00:19.500 --> 00:00:21.480
on and, you know, we're doing
some good white collar business

10
00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:23.790
right now. And it's been
changing lives, and not just my

11
00:00:23.790 --> 00:00:26.010
life, but you know, it's been
changing their life as well. And

12
00:00:26.010 --> 00:00:27.600
if I could get them to want to
live like me, you know what I

13
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:28.620
mean? We'll be successful.

14
00:00:28.660 --> 00:00:30.460
Johny Fernandez: So you guys are
the new kids on the block, an

15
00:00:30.460 --> 00:00:33.130
event like this, why is it so
important to attend these type

16
00:00:33.130 --> 00:00:33.520
of events?

17
00:00:33.540 --> 00:00:35.147
Frankie DiAntonio: Honestly,
just the networking, networking

18
00:00:35.187 --> 00:00:37.579
is you network, networking is
your net worth, you know what I

19
00:00:37.618 --> 00:00:40.010
mean? So I've been able to, you
know, meet my lenders face to

20
00:00:40.049 --> 00:00:42.559
face, build actual relationships
with them. And I just feel like

21
00:00:42.598 --> 00:00:44.834
that's very important with
businesses, being able to meet

22
00:00:44.873 --> 00:00:47.304
someone face to face over the
phone, you always don't get, you

23
00:00:47.344 --> 00:00:49.736
know, the best communication so
it was cool, you know, so I'm

24
00:00:49.775 --> 00:00:52.206
tuning in with them, you know,
meet them in person meeting new

25
00:00:52.246 --> 00:00:54.403
lenders, and just different
people in the industry, you

26
00:00:54.442 --> 00:00:56.873
know, and gave me pointers and
you know, we're happy about our

27
00:00:56.912 --> 00:00:58.560
company and what what we're
offering them.

28
00:00:58.800 --> 00:01:00.764
Johny Fernandez: So let's talk
about the panels that happened

29
00:01:00.809 --> 00:01:03.399
today. There was different
panels, different conversation.

30
00:01:03.444 --> 00:01:04.650
What was your favorite one?

31
00:01:04.830 --> 00:01:07.650
Frankie DiAntonio: I really
liked what Frankie Banks was

32
00:01:07.650 --> 00:01:09.450
going into with Spartan capital
about, you know, the whole

33
00:01:09.450 --> 00:01:12.210
crypto and fintech in the
metaverse because it really is

34
00:01:12.210 --> 00:01:15.090
the future. I definitely want to
offer something with crypto in

35
00:01:15.090 --> 00:01:18.660
the near future with my company.
It really is the new way for

36
00:01:18.660 --> 00:01:20.940
everybody. And I think it's
gonna be huge in the future and

37
00:01:20.940 --> 00:01:23.040
any company that offers it is
going to make more money than

38
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:24.090
the next in my opinion.
