00:00Tell me about, and then I'm going to have you start from here and we're going to talk
00:04about the arcade because while we were chatting, I, you know, I only saw what you had in the
00:09background there.
00:10I was on your website.
00:11I love that you guys have, that you have a gallery on your website of just photos of,
00:18you know, the premise, everything.
00:19You've got a video arcade in your office and, you know, as a classic arcade fan, you and
00:25I were just talking briefly, you know, my son and I built a main cabinet, which is multi
00:32arcade, something emulator, machine emulator.
00:35I forget what that all stands for, but it's so much fun.
00:39So it's, you know, the classic joystick console and everything like that.
00:43But you've been able to pick up quite a collection and I'm sure that, I mean, that's, that really
00:50shares a lot of wow factor in terms of like, you know, when someone's considering, okay,
00:55well, I got different places I could work.
00:57I could work at this boring, sterile place, or I could come work at a place.
01:01It's got a video arcade.
01:03Like it's no joke.
01:04You have a lot of machines and pinball too.
01:08The gamification culture.
01:09And thank you so much for bringing that up on your podcast.
01:12We got to definitely talk about dessert.
01:14I created an environment where A, it's free play.
01:16Most of these machines are older than the agents because they are original pinball.
01:20Ball machines and other retro arcade machines in an air hockey table, but you let off steam,
01:26you recharge batteries, you make friends from other departments, you hang out with your
01:29boss there, but it's when you walk through it, it puts you in a different state of mind
01:36because it reminds the agents of how I treat them, how I treat myself and reminds my clients
01:41that they need to have a game room as well.
01:44I've also had certain white glove comments where people will say, Hey, this is a professional
01:50environment.
01:50You shouldn't be having these sorts of things.
01:52And in my mind, I say, you do you, this is my company.
01:57I'm still a young kid.
01:59I know how to work hard and recess was the best class.
02:02And I just really wanted to fulfill.
02:06One of my childhood dreams was to have the silver spoons, Ricky Schroeder game room.
02:10And I did it.
02:12And since I have the space, I have the money.
02:14I go treasure hunting.
02:16And you were mentioning this beautiful Ricola behind me.
02:18I have Wurlitzers and Seaburgs as well.
02:21And I, one man's trash, Josh is another man's treasure.
02:25And they have no idea what they're sitting on.
02:28And so I'm always driving around this country and talking to some guy.
02:31And my problem is I don't have a poker face because if I see this machine, I'm almost
02:37like Bo Derek and Dudley Moore in the movie, 10, I'm running towards it on a beach.
02:41And my guy's like, calm down.
02:43I'm going to let them know that something is not working.
02:45I go, come on, just offer them a fair price and let everybody win.
02:49Awesome.
