Thank you so much for being here.

Well, thank you. And, yeah, Frederick scares me because that's what my dad used to call me before he beat me with his belt. So, but Friday days then. Friday days. Oh, that's well, I'll take Fred. Hey. It's it's an honor to be here, and, I I hope I can provide some value for for your audience. I think I can, and you guys hang in there.

Let's see what happens.

Oh, I I'm very, very well aware. Just reading your bio, reading some of the stuff that I got before you came out to the show, I I know you're gonna be able to provide us with more value than I think I've ever received, because you got so much knowledge, especially with what you're doing with Idea Pros. So before we jump into what is Idea Pros and all that is, I wanna know, why did you become an entrepreneur?

You know, becoming an entrepreneur is a different thing for for everybody. They they do it for different reasons, pent up desires, you know, wanting to get out of corporate America. For me, I never thought core corporate America would have me. I, you know, I was always kind of the rebel kid in high school and, thought differently. And when it was time to go out and and face the world adulting, I just really felt that I could do it a lot better on my own than, try to succumb to somebody else's wishes because I was a stubborn little bastard. And, I think, you know, I knew I knew the way I wanted to go, and and I proceeded doing that from the age of 21 onward.

So when you started to when you were 21, which I'm gonna say is a few years ago, what was the venture that you jumped into? Like, you we I know you were a successful lawyer. Was that the first venture you went into, open up their own law firm?

No. Being a lawyer was actually accidental. We'll have to do another another show about that. Yeah. But the first thing I did is I was living in South Florida, and I had this awesome girlfriend in San Diego where I live now. And I would go back and forth to see her. And every time I I came to San Diego, I saw these taco stands and burritos. And on the East Coast, they didn't have any yet.

And I convinced a guy, older guy that, had inherited a bunch of money from his family to, let you start building taco stands here in Florida. And within two or three years, Taco Bell is gonna come to the East Coast and acquire us. And, surely, we had, in three years, we had 70 stores, and, and they came and and, and became Taco Bell.
