I was like, well, what's the inspiration? It it, 6 00:00:18.880 --> 00:00:21.680 it reminds me, it gives me royal wedding vibes. Royal, 7 00:00:21.820 --> 00:00:25.040 Oh, coming off the weekend where the king was just coronated and everything in 8 00:00:25.040 --> 00:00:26.200 England. Royal wedding vibes, 9 00:00:27.590 --> 00:00:30.560 just a little luxury bringing old school, you know, 10 00:00:30.560 --> 00:00:32.200 double breasted back a little bit. That's right, 11 00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:35.040 Dude, I saw, I was like, yes. I was like, I love the double breasted a little, 12 00:00:35.040 --> 00:00:38.240 You know. Um, but in here, but in there missing a little different take on it. 13 00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:41.600 Yeah, yeah. Trying to modernize it a little bit and just like, uh, 14 00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:43.960 what we're trying to do, revolutionize this suit, 15 00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:47.320 revolutionize this industry with what I'm trying to do as well. And, uh, 16 00:00:47.340 --> 00:00:49.240 that's the, the, that's the inspiration. 17 00:00:49.940 --> 00:00:52.120 So I know you, but for those that don't know you, 18 00:00:52.120 --> 00:00:54.200 go ahead and introduce yourself and what company you're with. 19 00:00:54.870 --> 00:00:58.840 Pole Boxer with Merchant Marketplace, the newest, 20 00:00:59.480 --> 00:01:00.520 I would say not newest, 21 00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:04.840 but at least a year or so old direct funder and platform for syndication in on 22 00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:05.840 deals as well. All 23 00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:06.090 Right. Paul, 24 00:01:06.090 --> 00:01:08.880 we've talked about this in the past and we've done different videos. 25 00:01:09.020 --> 00:01:12.000 The industry's changing rapidly. Just, you know, I, 26 00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:14.680 I feel like every couple months there's something new going on. You know, it, 27 00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:16.320 it's, it's not what it used to be. 28 00:01:16.820 --> 00:01:21.640 So why and how is it is the importance of coming into a place like 29 00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:25.720 this to learn and to keep up with this industry because it's drastically 30 00:01:25.880 --> 00:01:26.710 changing. 31 00:01:26.710 --> 00:01:29.440 Education is key. Regulation, regulation, 32 00:01:29.440 --> 00:01:32.040 regulation that's coming down the pipeline, whether we like it or not. 33 00:01:32.150 --> 00:01:35.600 Different states enacting different regulations. We have to learn about it. 34 00:01:35.600 --> 00:01:39.640 We have to be on top of it. We have to understand from California to New York, 35 00:01:39.660 --> 00:01:41.960 to Virginia to other states, 36 00:01:41.960 --> 00:01:46.440 in between other states that are within their legal process now in their state 37 00:01:46.590 --> 00:01:47.600 legislature and senate, 38 00:01:47.600 --> 00:01:51.520 working on different legislations geared and pointed towards us and our 39 00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:54.600 industry. We have to understand to be on, 40 00:01:54.700 --> 00:01:59.280 on top and above everything and everybody to learn what the regulation is. 41 00:01:59.780 --> 00:02:03.160 How can we bring that into our business, 42 00:02:04.510 --> 00:02:07.840 take what is coming down and to actually, um, 43 00:02:08.540 --> 00:02:13.440 do what's needed to be up to par with all the regulation that is 44 00:02:13.580 --> 00:02:18.240 out there. And for me, coming to brokers Fair, sitting in on the sessions, 45 00:02:18.760 --> 00:02:22.640 learning what that is and what's coming down the pipeline for us to stay at the 46 00:02:22.640 --> 00:02:25.000 forefront and to be the best funder that we could be. 47 00:02:25.220 --> 00:02:26.040 So let me ask you this. 48 00:02:26.040 --> 00:02:28.440 There's a lot of different topics that are gonna be discussed today.
