[00:00:42] Well I am doing super and I appreciate your time today. I know you are busy. And for those who don't know you written it is actually a client of ours and he does have he has a really unique business model that he's been doing. He's had tremendous market share with it. Very entrepreneurial. And so I just wanted to go through a little bit of your story and what you're doing. And have you share with the folks out there maybe some things that they can tap into and try to drive on too. So thanks for your time today.

[00:01:20] Yeah. So just a reminder also this is an Internet call.

[00:01:24] So just please excuse any internet type of interruptions. But Nick real quickly before we get fully started I'd love just to hear a little bit about your real estate career and you're mentioning as you move to Redding you only knew two people and the story of how you got started.

We're an independent company and we last year we did about twenty four twenty five million in transaction volume that equated to about 60 transactions sides.

When that starts to hate your life you start to wonder where you want to where you want to end up and where you raise those kids. So Redding is a beautiful town. We're surrounded by mountains where our backyard is Lake Shasta. We have Mount Shasta behind that. It's just an absolutely beautiful place if you ever have an opportunity to come visit here. If you're an outdoors person you you can never get tired or bored. So it was a perfect spot to land my broker at the time actually lived here wit...
