Hey guys, real quick, my company Summers Capital will be adding two more boutique hotels to our portfolio here in 2026 and we don't do it alone. We partner with busy professionals and business owners looking for passive income and tax benefits, but don't have the time to do it actively. So if this sounds like you, go to Summerscapital.com slash invest to join our investor wait list. Now back to the show. Treat your employees how you want to be treated. Because at the end of the day, you're offering a

service. You're not selling a product. So, you know, your people are going to care for your

company as much as you care for them. So if you treat your people right, then they're going to

go out there and they're going to treat your company well. And they're going to go out there and they're going to treat

your company well and they're going to take care of their customers.

Welcome to the Rich Strummers Report where we talk real estate, business and wealth building

all while keeping it real. No fluff, no BS. I hope that you enjoy the show.

All right, guys, welcome to another episode of the port today.

It is officially the start of Q3 and man, summer is upon us.

I'm so excited.

But I am more excited because we got a couple big dogs in the house that are doing big things in the parking lot business the valet business i got the valerite brothers i got johnny and clay what's up guys what is going on baby yeah welcome to the uh the pot man appreciate you guys coming out man and uh it's

funny because i feel like i know you guys you guys are uh we've been working together for quite some

time you guys are in the uh the hotel some bigger communities and man, you guys are great people. But so it's so nice to finally connect in person, man. This has been long overdue. Thank you, thanks for having us. Yeah, man. Of course. Of course. So, you know, first things first, man, I think it's so unique of what you guys do. A lot of people in business and real estate and all these different ventures, but I don't hear of the parking lot of industry come up very often. But we see parking lots everywhere. I mean, there's a lot of parking lots downtown where we live, where our office is located. Everyone has cars, right? That's never going to go anywhere. And there's always a shortage of parking in a lot of

these areas that we go to. But what I find unique is you guys started the parking lot business for

only $15,000 you guys got in the game. You built it into this big thing. How did you turn $15,000

into such a big thing? We started back in 2020. So a little backstory. Our father was in the

parking business for about 40 years.

He came from Peru to Santa Monica with zero.

Peruvian.

Peruvian, yep.

He started parking cars, built his company.

Our plan was to work for him, take it over.
