I have Frank Ebates from Spartan Capital,

1
00:00:02.900 --> 00:00:06.400
so let me shift over and make some room on the red carpet for you, sir. Hi,

2
00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:08.120
how are you? Hi. How's it going today? Very

3
00:00:08.120 --> 00:00:08.510
Good.

4
00:00:08.510 --> 00:00:12.440
Good. So tell me a little bit about the importance of events like this.

5
00:00:12.980 --> 00:00:14.760
Oh my God, it's hard to put it in words.

6
00:00:15.030 --> 00:00:18.560
It's such an amazing event for this industry, right? For MCA and, uh,

7
00:00:18.590 --> 00:00:22.800
revenue sales financing because it brings us all together. Mm-hmm. Right? I,

8
00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:26.960
I love to come here and see all our partners, our technology providers. Mm-hmm.

9
00:00:27.040 --> 00:00:30.080
Our ISOs, our brokers, our referral sources. So, uh,

10
00:00:30.200 --> 00:00:33.720
I really enjoy coming here and seeing them and talking to them. Mm-hmm. Uh,

11
00:00:33.820 --> 00:00:38.480
we spend so much time, uh, on the phone or talking to them through email and,

12
00:00:38.580 --> 00:00:39.110
uh,

13
00:00:39.110 --> 00:00:43.240
this event brings us all together and gives us the opportunity to get to know

14
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:46.320
each other even more. So we could find ways to, uh, just,

15
00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:47.440
just work better together.

16
00:00:47.670 --> 00:00:48.220
Exactly.

17
00:00:48.220 --> 00:00:52.240
And I also think that location is very important to New York City's Screams

18
00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:54.160
Broker Fair and a perfect time.

19
00:00:54.160 --> 00:00:58.320
What's a better perfect time to have it then in the spring where the weather is

20
00:00:58.320 --> 00:00:58.680
getting warm?

21
00:00:58.680 --> 00:01:02.640
We're not in that third winter that everybody is always looking forward to.

22
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:05.120
Well, not looking forward to, but always expecting in New York.

23
00:01:05.350 --> 00:01:07.520
What do you say about the location of having New York, um,

24
00:01:07.520 --> 00:01:08.920
broker Fair in New York? I

25
00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:12.840
Love it. I love it. I mean, it's so, so cool to be able to do this in May, uh,

26
00:01:12.860 --> 00:01:16.760
in New York. Right. So this is sort of like the birthplace for mca. Right,

27
00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:20.360
exactly. So it brings everyone together in one spot, one location.

28
00:01:20.360 --> 00:01:22.960
Weather is great. I mean, Sean, the bank, they just get it.

29
00:01:22.960 --> 00:01:23.793
You guys just get it.

30
00:01:24.060 --> 00:01:25.920
And now this is my second broker. Fair.

31
00:01:26.020 --> 00:01:28.360
Can What broker fair number is this for you?

32
00:01:28.940 --> 00:01:30.520
Oh my God, I can count 'em. I've done 'em all.

33
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:33.920
I think I've been doing each one of them since, uh, 2019.

34
00:01:34.300 --> 00:01:37.400
Wow. So can you tell me a little bit, uh, how it has, um,

35
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:40.680
transpired through the first time you've been to a broker Fair Event to now?

36
00:01:42.160 --> 00:01:45.960
I could tell you that Spartan Capital wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the

37
00:01:45.960 --> 00:01:49.960
broker fair. If it wasn't for the banked, if it wasn't for the ability, uh,

38
00:01:50.060 --> 00:01:53.320
of the banked and, uh, broker fair to bring us all together.

39
00:01:53.460 --> 00:01:56.480
We have grown tremendously. We've been able to meet new partners,

40
00:01:56.610 --> 00:01:59.960
we've been able to hire new people. We've been able to acquire, uh,

41
00:01:59.960 --> 00:02:01.320
new technology providers.

42
00:02:01.540 --> 00:02:05.760
And it's all because we come to these events and we get to know who's out there,

43
00:02:05.940 --> 00:02:09.440
who wants to do business with us, who wants to sell us, uh, equipment,

44
00:02:09.440 --> 00:02:12.480
who wants to sell us technology. So it's amazing. I love it.

45
00:02:12.700 --> 00:02:16.560
And if there's one thing you can tell viewers at home that may be a little bit

46
00:02:16.610 --> 00:02:19.680
weary about coming to Broker Fair and not sure if this is the right place for

47
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:22.000
them in the industry, what could you tell 'em about it?

48
00:02:22.600 --> 00:02:25.200
I would tell 'em that there is something for everyone.

49
00:02:25.300 --> 00:02:28.560
If you're here to mingle and talk to your partners, you could do that.

50
00:02:28.580 --> 00:02:33.560
If you want to learn about industry events, industry news, uh,

51
00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:34.440
just developments,

52
00:02:34.500 --> 00:02:38.200
you could come and go to the shows and listen to the speakers, right, which, uh,

53
00:02:38.200 --> 00:02:39.800
have tremendous amount knowledge. Right.

54
00:02:40.140 --> 00:02:42.680
And if you just want to just learn about new products,

55
00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:46.560
you could do that as well. So there's so much to get out of this event. Uh, it,

56
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:48.080
it's silly enough to come and attend

57
00:02:48.690 --> 00:02:49.523
Exact. Okay.

58
00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:52.600
I don't wanna keep you too much from mingling throughout the rest of the event,

59
00:02:52.820 --> 00:02:56.920
but all your points are super valid and I hope you make a ton of connections
