11
00:00:34.870 --> 00:00:35.160
Well,

12
00:00:35.160 --> 00:00:39.920
I've been in the business since 2008 and I started my company in 2000,

13
00:00:40.300 --> 00:00:43.560
uh, 10. Mm-hmm. So I've been a business loan broker for, you know,

14
00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:47.520
almost 15 years now. Mm-hmm. And, uh, I have a,

15
00:00:47.720 --> 00:00:48.640
I have like a call center.

16
00:00:48.720 --> 00:00:52.600
I have like 40 people that were on the phones and I found out, I seen the bank,

17
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:54.000
you know, online and on social media,

18
00:00:54.020 --> 00:00:55.640
and I seen a lot of other people that I talked to.

19
00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:57.960
They just talk about the bank. Um,

20
00:00:58.040 --> 00:01:02.280
I used to go to a lot of events like in 20 14, 15, say,

21
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:05.840
not over the past five years, not too many. Mm-hmm. Um, but, uh, it's,

22
00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:08.560
it's nice to get caught up in the industry and see where the transition has came

23
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:11.400
to and, and all the good, uh, technology aspects of it.

24
00:01:12.140 --> 00:01:15.200
So what is one thing you can say that you took away from this event today?

25
00:01:15.910 --> 00:01:19.560
That it is definitely worth it to come here if you're in the business loan

26
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:23.160
broker industry. A lot of connections, a lot of great vendors,

27
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:25.560
a lot of great technology. Um,

28
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:28.280
you don't have to do something a lot of stuff manually anymore,

29
00:01:28.980 --> 00:01:31.480
and it just makes, uh, it's gonna make the transition and,

30
00:01:31.540 --> 00:01:34.800
and the process of funding these businesses so much more quicker.

31
00:01:35.340 --> 00:01:38.720
Now you guys are based in Chicago. Do you have any plans for after the event,

32
00:01:38.900 --> 00:01:40.560
you know, outside of the business?

33
00:01:40.580 --> 00:01:43.600
Are you guys going to any restaurants or anything fun doing in New York?

34
00:01:43.910 --> 00:01:46.000
Yeah, I'm gonna go to Little Italy tonight and,

35
00:01:46.140 --> 00:01:48.640
