00:00.000 --> 00:02.160 Johny Fernandez: Go ahead and walk me through business so far 00:02.160 --> 00:03.960 since January, what's it been like for you? 00:04.020 --> 00:05.580 Frankie DiAntonio: Yeah. So I mean, typically, we've been 00:05.580 --> 00:09.210 funding about two to $3 million a month. We are new, we're a new 00:09.210 --> 00:12.570 team on the block, we're the new kids on the block. You know, we 00:12.570 --> 00:15.090 opened up the company about a year ago, my guys are young, 00:15.090 --> 00:17.280 they're hungry, you know I've seen a lot of blue collar kids 00:17.280 --> 00:19.500 out from the neighborhood, you know what I mean? And I put them 00:19.500 --> 00:21.480 on and, you know, we're doing some good white collar business 00:21.480 --> 00:23.790 right now. And it's been changing lives, and not just my 00:23.790 --> 00:26.010 life, but you know, it's been changing their life as well. And 00:26.010 --> 00:27.600 if I could get them to want to live like me, you know what I 00:27.600 --> 00:28.620 mean? We'll be successful. 00:28.660 --> 00:30.460 Johny Fernandez: So you guys are the new kids on the block, an 00:30.460 --> 00:33.130 event like this, why is it so important to attend these type 00:33.130 --> 00:33.520 of events? 00:33.540 --> 00:35.147 Frankie DiAntonio: Honestly, just the networking, networking 00:35.187 --> 00:37.579 is you network, networking is your net worth, you know what I 00:37.618 --> 00:40.010 mean? So I've been able to, you know, meet my lenders face to 00:40.049 --> 00:42.559 face, build actual relationships with them. And I just feel like 00:42.598 --> 00:44.834 that's very important with businesses, being able to meet 00:44.873 --> 00:47.304 someone face to face over the phone, you always don't get, you 00:47.344 --> 00:49.736 know, the best communication so it was cool, you know, so I'm 00:49.775 --> 00:52.206 tuning in with them, you know, meet them in person meeting new 00:52.246 --> 00:54.403 lenders, and just different people in the industry, you 00:54.442 --> 00:56.873 know, and gave me pointers and you know, we're happy about our 00:56.912 --> 00:58.560 company and what what we're offering them. 00:58.800 --> 01:00.764 Johny Fernandez: So let's talk about the panels that happened 01:00.809 --> 01:03.399 today. There was different panels, different conversation. 01:03.444 --> 01:04.650 What was your favorite one? 01:04.830 --> 01:07.650 Frankie DiAntonio: I really liked what Frankie Banks was 01:07.650 --> 01:09.450 going into with Spartan capital about, you know, the whole 01:09.450 --> 01:12.210 crypto and fintech in the metaverse because it really is 01:12.210 --> 01:15.090 the future. I definitely want to offer something with crypto in 01:15.090 --> 01:18.660 the near future with my company. It really is the new way for 01:18.660 --> 01:20.940 everybody. And I think it's gonna be huge in the future and 01:20.940 --> 01:23.040 any company that offers it is going to make more money than 01:23.040 --> 01:24.090 the next in my opinion.
