Speaker 1 00:00:01
Like when I rode the other day. 
Speaker 2 00:00:03
Uh-huh.
Speaker 1 00:00:05
That was only for, um, like, since I didn't have practice. Right. I wasn't actually, like, uh, doing it.
Speaker 2 00:00:14
Are you saying that because it wasn't your Monday, Wednesday, Friday thing, it was, it doesn't count. 
Speaker 1 00:00:23
No, I'm saying, so, since I didn't have practice, you wanted me to do some, some exercise. 
Speaker 2 00:00:33
Right.
Speaker 1 00:00:34
So that was my exercise. Exercise, that wasn't my run.
Speaker 2 00:00:38
Right.
Speaker 1 00:00:38
So that wasn't the something different.
Speaker 2 00:00:41
Yeah. No, I think we're on the same page. Um, I think that we need to keep pushing you on the run, kiddo. Um. Well, let me ask you this. So, what's your, what's your biggest problem right now in soccer. 
Speaker 1 00:01:00
Confidence. No.
Speaker 2 00:01:02
That's your second biggest problem.
Speaker 1 00:01:06
Fitness.
Speaker 2 00:01:09
Right. 
Speaker 1 00:01:10
But doesn't rowing get me there just as fast. 
Speaker 2 00:01:13
No. It'll get you there, but not just... Let me ask you this. When you rowed the other day, was it as hard on your muscles or was it harder on your lungs. 
Speaker 1 00:01:28
Muscles. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:01:29
So we could get you there where it was more on your lungs, but you're not there yet. And so your muscles in rowing, your muscles will give out faster than your lungs will. Because your lungs are... I think your muscles are underdeveloped for rowing and your lungs are overdeveloped for rowing. So I think we could do this in the future, but I...
Speaker 2 00:02:00
you know but i really think that especially since this week is going to be a slow week we should get everything we can out of out of uh running and i know you feel i know you feel like you're the odd duck because eric hasn't been running um but the reason why i haven't been making him run is because i can't afford for his adductor to start hurting like i need all the time i can to get him to get him healed on that and then um and then i'm gonna kick his butt.
Speaker 2 00:02:39
for running when he when he's ready so but i i think the only reason why that guy beat you out, um first half was was because of fitness like you know. And so we got to, we got to, you know, you were more skilled than he was, but just because of fitness, he was able to, to get, you know, he was able to be to the play faster than.
Speaker 2 00:03:10
you were each time. Not each time, but you know what I mean, you know, and look, your best play, I think all game was when you came over outside of your position, right. And, and, uh, took the ball away from Alan, right. And he gave it just, then you held it right. And then gave this beautiful through ball to Quran who kicked it into the side of the.
Speaker 2 00:03:44
neck. I mean, but dude, like that is, how is that out of position now? Um, You took that as negative. I didn't mean it to be negative. You did the right thing, right? The guy on the right wasn't there, so you slid over because you were there, and you marked that man and turned it into a play, right?
Speaker 2 00:04:15
So you marked two men when you did that, right? And you dominated. And my point was, my point wasn't when I said out of position, wasn't like that you did something wrong. My point was, you had to run extra to do that, right? So I know you want to run, kiddo, or you want to row, and I'd like to give it to you, but I don't think that that's what's best for you right now.
Speaker 2 00:04:49
Okay. So I feel a little bit bad right now, but hopefully you understand, you understand and even maybe agree with my thought process on this. Janelle. 
Speaker 1 00:05:08
Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:05:09
Okay. Um, cool. Is your mom available. 
Speaker 1 00:05:18
Um, Eric and Matthew were fighting and then she's handling it right now.
Speaker 2 00:05:28
Okay. Because I just got off the phone with Walt and he wants you guys to come in at 4 o'clock. So, I'm going to call mom in a minute. Okay. Talk to her about that, but keep that in the back of your head too.
Speaker 1 00:05:46
Okay.
Speaker 2 00:05:47
Alright. 
Speaker 1 00:05:49
Yep.
Speaker 2 00:05:51
Love you, kiddo.
Speaker 1 00:05:53
I love you.
Speaker 2 00:05:54
Talk to you soon.
Speaker 3 00:05:57
Okay. Bye.
Speaker 2 00:06:48
Hello? Hey.
Speaker 4 00:06:50
Hey, what's going on. 
Speaker 2 00:06:51
Um, I just got a phone with, uh, Walt and, um, he actually thanked me. He's like, I went to go, I told Izzy everything you told me. And she's like, that's totally correct. And so he's like, yeah. So we actually got to like, really like put our heads together and understand, like, come to the, like, she's, she doesn't like pushing them cause she doesn't want to make them so.
Speaker 2 00:07:24
they don't want to come. And, you know, and he's like, and I push him too hard. And so they go away. And so we, we got to start talking about strategies for, he's like, actually so pretty. Cause when you started the conversation, I was like, oh, I'm just going to give them jazz, you know? Um, he goes, but I think you, you might've really helped my business. So, um, he's like, can you, can they come at four today? What do you think? I was like, I don't know. I don't see anything on the calendar, but I need to talk to my wife first.
Speaker 4 00:07:57
They could, yeah. That's fine. They've been bugging the crap out of me, so it's good to get them out of the house.
Speaker 2 00:08:02
Yeah, Ben just told me that you were separating Maddie and Eric.
Speaker 4 00:08:07
Well, just, you know.
Speaker 2 00:08:09
Those weren't his words. He said they were fighting and you were handling it.
Speaker 4 00:08:12
This isn't, it's, I honestly, Ben has gotten me more to the place where I'm at than either one of them. I mean, like, they're all taking their turns, you know. You know, it's like, the second they don't get to do what they want, they'll just kind of choose to, you know, kind of look at the other person and be frustrated about what they're doing and what they're not doing, you know. It's a lot of finger pointing.
Speaker 2 00:08:33
Yeah.
Speaker 4 00:08:35
So.
Speaker 2 00:08:35
I don't think you'd be wrong in just kicking them out of the house either.
Speaker 4 00:08:41
I mean, they're doing, right, they're doing, I'm like pretty wiped out at this point. Um, they're doing, um. They're still finishing chores and they're still packing and all that kind of stuff, so, you know.
Speaker 2 00:08:56
Okay, but if you wanted to kick them out of the house and then, you know, I'll come and swing by and pick them up for AIM and then when I get back I can handle packing and stuff. I can do that, so.
Speaker 4 00:09:11
We're okay for the most part with the exception of Matthew. Matthew, do you think you can move on and you can go and start packing now? And just focus on being in your own space? Thank you. Thank you. So I pushed Athens pretty hard today.
Speaker 2 00:09:32
Yeah.
Speaker 4 00:09:33
Did you see that. 
Speaker 2 00:09:34
No, I've been pretty busy. I did all the things you asked me for, I just haven't gotten back to Athens yet, so...
Speaker 4 00:09:48
No, no, no, it's fine, it's fine. I mean, you don't know what I'm doing, so... I'm like, check your email, I want to see if you've gotten reached out to by them, you know? So, like, I... I don't know if you saw, but I was, like, going back and forth with, um... A guy named Adam, who's been posting, like, what they're hiring for. They seem like a bunch of really cool dudes. I mean, this is going to sound bad, but they're all white.
Speaker 4 00:10:19
Which, you know, like, I feel like sometimes what you're up against is you're up against, like... They're looking for bilingual people, and mostly it's all Spanish-speaking, you know? So, like, so you automatically get judged right from the gate, you know? Um... But, like... so i reached out to so this is regretting it's like a vice president i don't know i feel like i can't tell if the position is a big position or like everybody gets to be vice president vice.
Speaker 4 00:10:53
president you know but i'm like vice president of like logistics and distribution or something like that i don't know but it's like i look at i look at what the role is and i'm like oh you can do this you know like you've done this you know like so i reached out to connected with a bunch of people oh see here i'm back in my room now linkedin by the way i'm pulling up to a job site right now.
Speaker 2 00:11:32
and i just got to run and drop off a sample so okay do you want me to go you want to call me back or what. I'm letting you decide that so the sooner I can get in and out of here though I just don't I want to respect your time here. You are you're talking to me about this stuff So, you know for my stuff and issues so you want to call me back you can okay. 
Speaker 4 00:11:58

Speaker 3 00:14:59
Thank you.
Speaker 3 00:15:59
Thank you very much.
Speaker 2 00:18:40
I couldn't find you, comma, but I dropped off the samples, mock-up.
Speaker 4 00:19:47
hello hey thank you for letting me do that yeah sure so happens um so i noticed that like, at four hours ago somebody viewed your vice president of fleet maintenance operations, application so then i went and i checked out you know the application like the job description just to make sure you know like i want to go after something that like you don't fully align with.
Speaker 4 00:20:20
it where i'm like you know where they like reply back and they're like uh you're not a good fit you know right but um but athens you are you know like it's oh yeah again i'm very familiar with athens.
Speaker 2 00:20:33
so right so i don't i don't know that my resume aligns well with it though to be honest with you.
Speaker 4 00:20:44
Right because I don't think we have much about fleet main in my resume. No, we don't we don't so what I did was I went and I. Connected with a bunch of people actually and Where's your network? So I connected with all local guys. John defending John from Athens ever since he's an executive.
Speaker 4 00:21:16
vice-president and, Adam who is director of process optimization who is posting a lot another guy who's area vice-president of Aspen services Even so he connected with you. So three guys connected with you, which is awesome. Adam I think Tim so he got back so I messaged him. okay and i thanked him for connecting and i kind of went through and i said hey like i had full set like um like i've had full set operations with race recycling companies with state performance.
Speaker 4 00:21:53
you know central to what i did you know and so like it's a long explanation but he goes hey i don't have a lot of details in the position the hiring team would know better than to give you the you're looking for what i can tell you is that i really enjoy working with athens it's great place they continue to be close to jobs around myself with great people the recruiters are and then he would come off i said thanks adam you know and i think didn't properly so then i did reach out to the recruiters saying that adam referred me to them i'm a little frustrated because one of them.
Speaker 4 00:22:31
did look at your profile and didn't say anything like and didn't respond back but that's okay, what i'd like to do is i messaged you through our like message is um is i'd like to message that guy named greg so let's see where's my message to you gary his name is gary.
Speaker 4 00:23:01
so gary looks old and he looks like mr he looks like the guy from kentucky side chicken but. yeah it says that so he's on the school board he's a school board trustee for glendora and he's an executive vice president for athens and what caught my eye about him is that he's an adjunct professor professor for azusa he's been an adjunct professor for the last 25 years.
Speaker 4 00:23:39
um and he's also one for phoenix university but he got his master's in organizational leadership, um through azusa so i wrote you like a message for you to review and then to send him it's a little bit long if you want to cut it out but it pretty much talks about how like you came across his background your work across yeah you know and you're encouraged to see somebody with the same.
Speaker 4 00:24:12
depth and you know there's somebody you know with this depth of experience on the executive team, um you know what gave you you know kind of the confidence to reaching out was the connection between azusa and viola you know and then it goes into a little bit about who you are and what you're doing and how background you have everything to insert, um like aligns to it and then talks a little bit about the production side which you may want to.
Speaker 4 00:24:45
weed out but what it does is it also talks about like how you managed capital projects and stuff like that and i don't know and you dealt with like cat 926 loaders and stuff anyways what's that cat 926g by the way it's cat 928g loaders yeah i have that in there so um you know and then at the end it was just like i talked about like open to connecting and we'd be grateful for.
Speaker 4 00:25:17
a brief conversation your perspective wouldn't be me you know would be meaningful as i'd like to step back into the scale of leadership that path and represents so seeing if we can create it in there and i'm hoping that that lady who just peered at your thing and moved on. that she responds and if she doesn't i'm gonna send her i don't know she doesn't look like she works for athens yet her her like her it's weird because the recruiter like it shows like her.
Speaker 4 00:25:59
profile is weird her profile shows like doesn't show that she works for athens but it says the athens way right but then underneath her experience it says that she works for a talent acquisition liaison an h on onboarding specialist group well no no because it says it ended august 24th, so she doesn't have her most current staff here so she does work for athens whoa you okay.
Speaker 2 00:26:32
oh yeah i guess yeah no it's just this whole like, It's happened to me, like, too many times in the last, you know, it's like people honking when literally, you know, I don't think three seconds has gone by. And it's always women. Right. Drives me crazy.
Speaker 4 00:26:60
So, I don't know when we applied to this job. It could have been a while. Hold on here. Let me look for the job.
Speaker 2 00:27:11
By the way, going back to while you're looking at that, North Star, I guess the CEO at North Star is friends with Meijer. Hmm. And I know this because I talked to Kevin. And North Star handles, North Star has the Bimbo account.
Speaker 4 00:27:37
Oh, nice.
Speaker 2 00:27:38
And so we actually do, we, Reconserve does a bunch of work across the country with them. With Northstar. So Kevin's like, you know, because I just said, hey, somebody reached out to me like about, you know, from Northstar, isn't that, you know, isn't that the company that, you, know, it's basically that I'm thinking of, and he's like, yeah, yeah, here's that.
Speaker 2 00:28:08
So then I, and I was like, you know, and then he sent me like, yeah, Meijer's actually friends with their CEO, Seth, whatever.
Speaker 4 00:28:20
Oh, nice. Well, you tried to connect with both of them last week. We'll see if it works out.
Speaker 2 00:28:26
So I called him up and I'm like, by the way, what's, what's, how is it that Meijer's health is not, you know, is deteriorating? I haven't heard Jack from you and I talked to you last month. And he's like, I haven't heard that. And I mean, he goes, I know that he's pulling back on a lot of stuff. But honestly, I actually don't talk to Meyer that much. But, you know, I saw him at his 100th birthday party in October. And, you know, he seemed normal. But I do know that he's, you know, pulling back on stuff.
Speaker 2 00:28:58
I was like, all right. I was like, well, if something changes, you let me know. Because I don't want to, you know, like, honestly, I'm not sure that I'd be accepted at the funeral. But I'd want to go, you know. Right. So he's like, yeah, of course, I'll let you know. You know, but I don't think we're there yet. I'm like, all right. Don't let me get surprised. And he's like, yeah, no problem.
Speaker 4 00:29:18
Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:29:23
So then I just, oh, but he said, he goes, but I'll be honest with you. Like, if North Stars look, I don't know what position they would have for you. But. Everybody they hire seems like they're fresh out of college and doesn't understand how the world works. So you would literally be, you know, as far as bakery waste recycling, which, again, they do with us all across the country, you know. Right. You would be by far the most knowledgeable person there.
Speaker 3 00:29:56
Yeah. Interesting.
Speaker 2 00:29:58
So I made sure to drop that in. I don't know if you read my response to Felicia. You probably did.
Speaker 4 00:30:05
I kind of like grazed over it. Yeah, it was. That's good. I mean, I think it's good. Like I said, they don't have any open positions, so I don't know what your role would look like. But it would be cool if, like, they came up with a position for you, you know, as far as, like, what your experience level is and how you can support them. And it may be a traveling role or whatever, you know. But you never know, right? Yeah.
Speaker 4 00:30:47
So I think the next, you know, what I'm going to do next, see, it's like I look at it like all the essential job functions and it's achieved departmental goals and objectives, monitor progress, report results to executive vice presidents, implementing corrective actions.
Speaker 4 00:31:18
when needed, ensure all maintenance programs and systems. And equipment are fully functional and properly serviced. you know you've done maintenance programs essentially right ensure sufficient vehicles and equipment are maintained and available to meet daily operational needs equip quality control i mean like it's so easy take over all responsibility for maintenance your parents essential waste waste equipment including but not limited to refuse to the trucks tractors trailers heavy equipment cat and plant operational equipment like it like directly aligns because.
Speaker 4 00:31:52
you did everything maybe not on like it may not be like you may not have had a whole scale yeah not on the same scale but you essentially were running all of that you know and and more right because you were running the plant as well right so you have experience all these things so they're required you know what they were looking for was a bachelor's degree 10 plus years of progressively, responsible experience complete management and maintenance management which you have.
Speaker 4 00:32:23
strong customer service organizational skills valid driver's license proficiency with, computers five years of experience managing budget and profit and loss responsibility ability to manage multiple projects meet deadlines ability to perform physical requirements they're, looking for a diesel technology certificate but it's like i think you can it's just preferred i'm like you can get that while you're there like that's what they would really like you to do and they like to see a lean management of six segment background that you're currently in the.
Speaker 4 00:32:55
process of getting you know so it's like that's why i'm kind of pushing so hard you know i don't know if the you know your your resume doesn't necessarily boast a lot of this specifically but your but your linkedin profile does talk about it you know yeah not i was thinking i.
Speaker 2 00:33:19
needed to spend some time on my uh, both resume and linkedin pro at least at my linkedin profile i need to start kind of inserting.
Speaker 4 00:33:27
like a lot more bullet points yeah so i mean i've spent some time doing it but i do think we should add some more like specific things you know like as far as like fleet management goes and things like that of that nature right so that way people can get a better idea of you but i think what i'd like to do is i'd like you to send out that email to that executive vice president making that connection and then if we don't hear from what's your face you know i think i'm gonna just if.
Speaker 4 00:34:01
you're comfortable with it we're gonna write up something that's gonna say look i saw you look at my profile and i apologize if this theme's over the top but, I've been able to connect with quite a few guys that, you know, on your leadership, and they're all great, and they're all, you know, like, I think I, you know, like, I think I would do, you know, who you hire is just as much about the person as it is about the job, and I'd like to be able to discuss with you how I'm a good fit for both, you know, at least give me your time, a little bit of your time, you know, and then we'll address, you know,
Speaker 4 00:34:46
I did, like, part of being, you know, part of being a reconcern meant that I was managing a fleet of blah, you know, and I have managed this type of truck, you know, front load, blah, you know, and I had maintained all the equipment on it, and I did that for 15 years, and I also started up a program, like, to maintain that as well, you know, I don't know, of some level.
Speaker 4 00:35:17
So, um, which is still me. I don't know. We'll work it out. So that's my thoughts. And then we'll just email that to her. You know, she, she's not the only one. There was a guy too, who's a recruiter, you know, so I don't want to like just kind of, I want him to email the executive guy because I think that, you know, you know, if he's teaching as a faculty member, it means that he likes mentorship, you know, it's important to him.
Speaker 4 00:35:47
Right. So we have a good chance of making a connection and him giving us some good guidance. So I'd like to email him tonight. You know, so yeah, but you know, he's encouraged. but and you know to see that at least people were connecting with you you know um plant manager.
Speaker 4 00:36:23
lindsey windows and doors your application is viewed for plant manager as well which is nice. so anyhow there you go just keeping things in the fire babe you know when this is all said and done i'm gonna buy you a spot i will just feel so grateful to feel i'll just feel relieved for you.
Speaker 4 00:36:60
you know i think that's all i need i just want i just want you to have a win you know yeah so and. you know i want you to be able to take something and just drive it you know as hard as you can because that's what you do really well but all right i guess i gotta get back to my own job, continue to check you know your emails please you know until the yeah i've cleared out all my.
Speaker 2 00:37:36
emails while we were talking um got a bunch from ladders oh sorry um i'm just more messing with you.
Speaker 4 00:37:47
sometimes i don't know what i'm signing you up for when i'm signing you up for it like i'm not like oh i'm gonna send you up to this it was like like they made they happen to use ladders as a way of like a way of applying for the job you know yeah so then it's like you're not signed up for ladders for everything you know no that's fine but ladders is also weird because they're like a paid for subscription, yeah where they take you and they apply you towards everything you know yeah i saw another.
Speaker 2 00:38:20
one that said that do that for free for me but um because the ladder ladders if i remember correctly started out as like you know used to be more like executive right right it was it was you know yeah it was it was only for higher level you know but that's what i thought when i saw that.
Speaker 4 00:38:40
i was like oh ladders this is good to sign up and then as i was starting to kind of look and then they offered me like the paid for service at the end it was like all right you know like it's something to consider but i also really do think that genuinely a lot of like what we need to do is just continue to just focus people behind the scenes you know yeah all right um.
Speaker 2 00:39:12
Sounds good, babe. Sounds good. So I will... I heard the boys, they're going to Waltz, by the way. Do I need to? I told Ben, so I'm sure Eric did. In fact, I just told him he didn't need to, uh...
Speaker 4 00:39:26
Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:39:27
Because...
Speaker 4 00:39:30
Okay. Sounds good. I'm getting something knocking on my door.
Speaker 2 00:39:41
I'll let you go.
Speaker 4 00:39:42
Alright, bye.
Speaker 2 00:41:13

Speaker 3 00:46:58
Danny sent a long message. From Danny. I'll reply back now.
Speaker 5 00:49:32
Most shooters know that dry fire is where the real improvement happens, but it can be frustrating to have to rack the slide for every single rep. That's where the Titan X changes everything. It is a smart, safe, and fully integrated dry fire system that gives you data on every single trigger press. Let's dive a little bit deeper into what the Titan X is. The Titan X is a smart laser pistol built to enhance your dry fire training. It is completely inert, meaning it uses no live ammunition. It gives you a realistic trigger pull, break, and reset.
Speaker 5 00:50:04
without ever having to wrap the slide. The Titan X connects to the Mantis X pistol and rifle app to give you real-time data. Let's talk about why a tool like this is useful. First of all, dry fire is an incredible training tool for improving your shooting. But we all know that dry fire stops at the click. The Titan X, however, measures how you shoot, not just when you pull the trigger. It gives you data on the muzzle movement when you are pulling the trigger, your movement during target-to-target transitions, as well as movements coming out of the holster,
Speaker 5 00:50:34
and even more incredibly, the movement between two consecutive shots.
