Today we got Chris Meekin on from Black Tie Group. I actually know Chris personally he's up in New Hampshire.

But, dude, today, I feel like today's topic was all about delayed gratification.

Like that's like that was what we the hot topic and what I've said hot topic twice now and every time I say it I think of the store.

Yes, because well, why not?

Because that was my era.

But we, you know, we talk about delayed gratification in a lot of different ways and the overall investment it takes to be great at something.

You know, Chris started, you you know his adulthood in the Marines and then went

off to find his way into a bunch of different professions including racing motorcross which is apparently cooler than riding a quad

but we'll leave that we'll leave that there and all the way to what is now a construction business that he runs and operates up in New Hampshire.

This podcast is also brought to you by Anderson Windows.

Anderson's goal is to craft something that lasts, something that stands a test of time and they've been crafting that legacy for 120 years,

making quality products for craftsmen and women like us and like our listeners.

So whatever it is you want to be known for, Anderson can help you achieve it.

You know, I've talked about my legacy and what I want to be known for in the grand scheme of this

and I continue to refine what that is and I just want to build cool stuff with cool people.

And right now that's Holmes and recently I realize that it might not always be Holmes, but for right now it will be.

The other part of that legacy is I want to be an advocate for our industry,

home builders, contractors, the blue collar person.

And I want to be an advocate by sharing my stories and conversations through this

podcast.

Yeah, I mean obviously for myself I, I can agree and that would be a testament that I would also support.

For myself, at the end of each project, I want to be able to turn something over that I'm proud of and that I understand is going to last and stand the test of time.
