But I, you know, I went from, uh, 20 lies your coach tells you or 20 lies that, you know, coaches have told you in your, uh, you know, for me, it's Jiu-Jitsu career. Um, but that's what I, I want to talk about that book. Go ahead and introduce yourself. Let's give a shout out to Fight Tape as well. Take it away, Ben. Speaker 1: It'll be something. Oh my God. Speaker 2: Well, Speaker 1: We got a couple things to go over here with, uh, Speaker 2: Don't forget to introduce yourself first. Okay, because I didn't introduce you properly. Speaker 1: I know. Hold on, hold on. Let me do this. Oh, hey, didn't see you there. My name is Ben Stark. You can catch me online, MMA Coach Ben on Instagram. I am an international mixed martial arts coach and cutman, not to mention, super cool dude. And I'm here today with my good buddy, Mr. Milton, and we're going to talk about stuff. But let me tell you a little bit about me. I am a third-degree Black Belt training out of and running American Top Team Palm Beach Gardens, the absolute premier mixed martial arts training facility in the North Palm Beaches. Let me tell you this, Milton, we are the only Academy Safe School in the Palm Beaches. Speaker 2: Shut your mouth. Speaker 1: Girl. And we take that with great pride. I, Speaker 2: I love it. Speaker 1: I tell everyone, we had a, a dad bring in his daughter, we had some teenage girls, we had a couple new guys, and like, it's in my introduction at this point. And you know who loves it? Speaker 2: Parents. Speaker 1: Parents and women. Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaker 1: The most. I've had a parent be like, oh, we were, we have, we have appointments to try some other, Speaker 2: We're good. Yeah. Speaker 1: You're the only one in the county, the only one. And they love it, and it's fabulous. And we love being Academy Safe. Speaker 2: I think it's amazing. I appreciate your support, brother. You were one of the, the first to, uh, to jump on. Um, second, were you the, the second, Speaker 1: We're the third in Florida. Speaker 2: The third fully accredited. Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 2: Yeah. Third fully accredited Academy. Uh, we have, Speaker 1: In Florida. I don't think in total. Speaker 2: We have, so we have a, when we say accredited, they've finished the process of everything. Speaker 1: I think we were like first 10 or 12. Speaker 2: Yeah. So for those who don't know what Academy Safe is, right? Academy Safe is a nonprofit whose mission is to help clean up the martial arts by advocating for background checks, US Center for Safe Sport certification, and a host of other things that make an Academy Safe. Most things that you're supposed to do, you should do or you're supposed to do by law, like in some areas, you have to have first aid and CPR. You have to have an AED. Speaker 1: I know. I opened my LLC like 11 years ago when I opened my business at the same time. There were no mandates about getting background checks to work or anything. Speaker 2: I'll give you an idea, even my Academy, I know that they wouldn't, uh, they wouldn't mind me saying this. Um, before he got his AED, he goes, oh, we got inspected and they cited us for not having an AED. There's no fine, but they're supposed to have an AED and they wound up getting the AED once they were going through the process. So, um, different, you know, every location, every locale, every county, every city might have different rules. Speaker 1: So, we never had an AED until we went Academy Safe either. And, you know, annual fire inspections. No issues about an AED at all. Speaker 2: Yeah. He says, uh, they were cited for it. No, no fine. No, like, you have to have it by this date, that I understand, but then he had it after that. Speaker 1: Most, I don't, my experience with the fire marshals has been, hey, man, can you, like, the light bulbs in an exit sign, like, can you get that fixed in the next two weeks? Yeah. Can you give me a call when it's done? Sure. You call them, they send me a picture. See you later. You know, they're pretty reasonable. No one wants to hurt your business. Speaker 2: Academy Safe, it's, uh, there's, it's really taking off. We've got some really interesting announcements that we're going to make. Um, you know, we've got things happening internationally, not just in, in US and Canada, but, you know, across the pond, as they say. Um, so some really good things going on, some really good partnerships on the horizon, some really cool partnerships that we have now, like Tap Cancer Out, Epic Roll, Flo N' Roll, all doing stuff for us. Uh, we went out to, here's my, my new favorite bottle. This thing is a monster. I love this thing. Uh, I had to get like the, the a bigger cup holder, like in a, a little cup holder. Speaker 1: Still in the cup holder. Bro, if it's less than 40 ounces, don't talk to me. Speaker 2: But I, but I love it because it's, yeah, because it's, uh, just the, I, I drink a lot of water. I'm in the car. Like this one's got electrolytes in it, so like I'm like, Speaker 1: It's good for the process. Speaker 2: I'm everywhere. Yeah, good. I didn't know that. Speaker 1: Water or the electrolytes? Uh, staying hydrated. Speaker 2: Staying hydrated. Okay. So, um, so yeah, like, you know, Flo N' Roll's been a huge supporter. We went out to the IBJJF and we're pretty much going to be, I know, we're going to be at the majority of the IBJJF events that Flo N' Roll goes to. So, yeah, so if they're out there, we'll be out there. I will physically be there. Our signage is always there. Speaker 1: That's awesome. Like you'll be like, California, Vegas. You're going all over the country now. Speaker 2: Right now, the, the next three that are that we know that we're going to be part of are Miami, the Miami Open down here, which is coming up. Um, the, uh, Kissimmee, which is, that's the, is it No-Gi, is it, uh, the Pans? That's Pans, uh, coming up in the next couple of months. And then Vegas again. There's another one in Vegas in September, I believe, it's when, uh, the next Vegas one is. Speaker 1: Milton, that one. Yeah. Speaker 2: You're turning into a celebrity. Um, no, it's not about that. You know, you get recognized a little bit for the podcast or even people are like, hey, man, people walk by, they see me in the Academy Safe shirt and they're like, hey, man, I love what you're doing with that. Speaker 1: You're a rock star. That's awesome. Speaker 2: It's, it's a really good feeling. You know, some people stop and ask, Speaker 1: And you're like, are you going to make your Academy? They're like, that's expensive. Speaker 2: Yeah. You know, I was talking to somebody yesterday about it, so it's kind of like a good time to talk about it is, um, you know, anything where someone has to spend money is, you know, oh, well, I get it. Listen, I get it. Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now, as a gym owner, look at me in my face. The second you explain to a parent, young lady, dad, whatever, what Academy Safe is, you're two-thirds sold. I'm telling you. The light bulbs or the, the way their eyes pop open when you're like, we're the only one who does this in our county. You're like, what? This isn't normal? And I've had people like still not sign, like, oh, we're going to check out. Hey, just do yourself this favor. Ask if their employees are background checked, if they're CPR certified, first, any of it. Just find out if there's any of it. Speaker 2: Access their insurance. It's public, that's public. Access your, can, you know, can we see your, your business insurance? You know, are you, are you staying current? Um, I was going to say, a lot of people when they find out they have to buy an AED is where there's like, oh, or, Speaker 1: I mean, I got a refurb and it was like 700 bucks. It ain't cheap. Speaker 2: I, uh, we, I've, so we give out, I'll give it out now. Um, you know, we have, uh, a partner in Avive. And yeah, they, they're the latest and greatest. They're like, it looks like an iPod. It is, it is. Speaker 1: I said iPod, like it's latest and greatest. Speaker 2: You can pull up the app, you can track it. I mean, it's going to be 2,500 bucks. Speaker 1: It's very cool. Speaker 2: They'll work out a payment plan, especially if you're working with us. Um, there, there might be some discounts available. But we have had that problem, like that's a lot of money, even if you break up the payments. And I think my gym got it for 550 with the pads, with the, with the extra pads. Now they got a refurbished from AEDmarket.com. Speaker 1: That's where I got mine, yeah. Speaker 2: I give that out to everybody. My gym, it was just coincidence that one of the gym owners, his wife, uh, I think volunteers at the, at their church. They bought an AED for the church. When she found out he was looking for an AED, she says, oh, we just got one. Here's the link. He bought it and made it real easy. And then like if you put it on a card, I don't know if they have like Klarna, you know, like those, uh, shopping, those applications or companies that will give you credit. Like when you're checking out, you can say use Klarna if you have an account or you can apply right there. I'm using Klarna as an example. I've never, I've never used them. It's basically like credit for a purchase. Like you could just do it right there and you're making the payments. They're going to let you check out. You're going to buy it and then you're paying. Speaker 1: Get your points. I don't know if Klarna is. Speaker 2: I would think, uh, it might go with like a care credit credit card. Like I had a care credit account when I had some major tooth surgery. You know, it was like a lot. So we had to like take it out. But it is a health-oriented thing. You might be able to get your AED with that. They have like way lower than normal rates because it's medical. Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Speaker 2: I don't know about that. Maybe that's possible. Speaker 1: I'm just saying it's medical. I don't know. Speaker 2: You know, you might be able to look into that. Um, so I was going to say, you know, the thing is, we say we have, one, two, I think we have three fully accredited Academies in, uh, in Florida. But we have tons more that have signed up that are just going through the process. So we're checking your certifications and helping you get certified and then when you have everything and all of your coaches have everything, we're accrediting you. We send you stickers, we send you your shirt, your coffee mug, you can start putting them up on the walls and talk about it. Speaker 1: Great. How many? Bro, those stickers are gold. Speaker 2: I did a, uh, I have some, I have a flag design getting done. Now the flag design, one of the reasons why we're like a little apprehensive about just letting people use the logo everywhere is because, right, you could be using the logo and you're not accredited with us anymore. Or, hey, but I passed the background checks, but you didn't do everything. So I'm going to give the flag to like a handful of people, like I know you and my, my gym, so we can, you know, so we can be, you know, take pictures and be proud of it and it's my home gym. But, you know, for pretty much we're telling people use the accreditation with the dates on it because that, you know, that's when you're accredited and then, Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, first of all, like if you have, I find that one way more valuable. So like, I like having the Academy Safe logo because we can use it for the IKF banners and stuff, cool. But having like, we are accredited as of this date to this date, like, oh, this is kept up with. Because if you just throw the Academy Safe logo up there, it could be forever. You could have been accredited five years ago. Speaker 2: That's, yeah, that's what we want to be, be careful with. Speaker 1: That year to year. Yeah. Speaker 2: And I think like you said, I'm seeing and hearing the same thing, you know, people talk, you know, they like, I had people come in to do a tour or they came in for their free week or their free session and as soon as we mention it, the light bulb goes off because they're like, oh, nobody's ever told, that's a thing. Yeah, nobody's ever told me about that. Um, yeah, I mean, that is a thing. That is, right, especially for women and children, for them to be comfortable. You look, most of the time, you know, mom and dad are coming in or mom's coming in with little Johnny, he's getting bullied in school. He, you know, I want to find something for him to do. I want him to know how to take care of himself. They're not thinking about that. The main thing they usually ask is, how much does it cost and what time are the classes? Speaker 1: Bro, like, I've had a rash of just like, hey, man, you do training? How much? Yeah. You want to come in? Not unless I know how. Well, then you're probably weren't all that interested. You didn't even want to try it. Speaker 2: Yeah, but and and you don't want, that's a tire kicker. We call that a tire kicker. And you don't necessarily want somebody who's just going to judge things on, on cost. You know, is it a hole in the wall Academy and that's they just do Jiu-Jitsu and they could do great Jiu-Jitsu or, hey, I have Jiu-Jitsu, we have MMA, we've got some weights over here. You can come work out. We've got fitness, we've got kids, adults, teens. You know, you start explaining it and it's just like, okay, there's value here, right? So, you know, anytime somebody asks me, you know, I I'll I'll give them a range, you know, the ranges from this to the, well, I don't think you have ranges, but like in my industry for marketing, Speaker 1: No. Speaker 2: I say, we've got a range. You know, it goes from, I'll give you my lowest price up to my, my, my biggest price and and everything in the middle. We can customize something for you. We just, you need to get the ball rolling and find out what you need. We do a free assessment, like, right? So at least in my, in the marketing world, we do that. But anytime somebody's just judging, well, you know, you wouldn't go to a, you know, you wouldn't go to somebody who sells a bunch of different cars, like go to a dealership and they have different, they represent different brands. How much does your car cost? Well, what kind of car do you want? I don't know. Just tell me about a car. How much does a car cost? Is it a freaking Hyundai or the a Ferrari or you're, you know, that Porsche in the back, like, come on. You know, give me something. Those are usually not going to be the best clients. Speaker 1: You got 12 options. Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaker 1: It's like, it's such a difficult. Just like, some people like, uh, for us at least, they, they put in a lead form to get a call. Yeah. We give them a call. A lot of people don't pick it up. It's a strange number. They call back a couple minutes later. They're like, oh, were you looking for martial arts? They're like, yeah. Like, great. What can I help you with? Yeah. What do you do? Well, we do a lot of things. You know, you break it down. What are you looking for? I don't know what any of those are. Speaker 2: I got a little trick for you. When, uh, when you're calling them back, is that a landline or is it all your cell phone? Speaker 1: Oh, they, no, they call me back. Speaker 2: But they're, okay, so, but, Speaker 1: So the initial call would come from my marketing company. I'd schedule myself. Speaker 2: It's coming from your cell phone. Yeah. It's all to your cell phone. Okay. Speaker 1: Right to my pocket. I used to have a landline, but I'm like, oh, I'm missing so much stuff. Speaker 2: Just going to give you, I mean, you might know this trick. It's not even a trick. I mean, it's just a thing, like I know on an iPhone. If, um, if I'm going to call somebody, I'm going to call somebody back, text them first. It'll tell them on that side when they get the text, like, it'll, we believe it's this person, like it'll put the name or the business and it'll say like, uh, looks like, I forget exactly how it says, but it says it might, it might be Milton. Milton Campus, right? Um, so that when you call them, it doesn't come up as spam or now it also shows that name, that possible name. So like, hey, I think you can even say like, hey, this is Ben. It reads the text and and then puts Ben into the, like it says, it looks like this is Ben, maybe you know the person, right? So just doing that and when you call, I know on my phone, I get tons of spam. So almost every call that I get is just like that I'm like, hmm. All right, I pick it up. 99.9% of the time, it's spam. Somebody has my cell phone number. I was going to mention in the beginning, well, so that's a little trick with that. I was going to mention in the beginning, I'm actually thinking about, the AI that we use for our phone receptionist for Academy Safe and for Black Belt. Um, I can use it as my personal. So I started to set it up for my personal because I get so many just spam calls because my phone, my cell phone number has been, I for two decades, I've always used it. That's the first number when I started a business. It's on registrations. It's out there. It's on old stuff. I might have ex for a quote. Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 2: But even on your personal line, you can put on the DND list. Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't really, nobody, they don't, they have, they have to like follow the law and do it. Speaker 2: I had, uh, we built a betting site for somebody one time. So we like, Speaker 1: Gambling or like betting? Speaker 2: Yeah, like betting tips. Speaker 1: Oh, okay. Speaker 2: Like betting tips, like it used to be like, but it's kind of like you were somebody's broker. Speaker 1: I had a free sheet and like, Speaker 2: No, like you were like their broker, like you'd call up the guy, you'd be like, hey, what do you, hey, Ben, what's the line on this Sunday? Yeah, yeah, yeah. What do I got today? What am I betting on? And if you gave me a tip, I'm supposed to give you a percentage. If you gave me a tip that worked out, I'd give you a percentage. Speaker 1: Oh, like that guy from the UFC that was also a coach and went bet on or against his own fighters. Speaker 2: Yeah, something like that. Not exactly like that. Speaker 1: That guy's going to jail. Speaker 2: So, so, uh, I did a, I went on other betting sites and did some requests to see the flow so that we understood kind of what he needed more for the website. I still get, that was 20 years ago. I still get. Speaker 1: Have you unsubscribed? Speaker 2: I always do the like reported as junk. Just the phone number's out there and then they call me from 10 different numbers. So what I'm doing now is setting up the AI for my personal and it's after a certain amount of rings, if I don't pick it up, the AI will pick it up. So I'm going to try that and see how it works for me personally to scrub some of the calls because I don't want to change my phone number, but that might be nice. Speaker 1: It's kind of like, have you, have you ever called someone with like Google Voice? Yeah. It's like, you've called their Google, can you tell, say your name? And then it's like, hey, do you want to talk to Ben? Yeah. Which is really cool. Speaker 2: I have a Google Voice number for the Academy Safe, so it actually, when they call the, like, there's a number for the AI, but there's a number, our number. Our number goes to Google Voice and then it just immediately forwards to the AI and then the AI picks up and its job is to get name, email, phone number, right? If it's a lead. Answer questions, it'll answer questions as well. It pulls info from the website. We can program it with prompts. Speaker 1: Does it tell people it's AI? Speaker 2: Um, I do because I want people to be like, hey, that's AI. Like, it's a product we sell, so I say, uh, I think on the Black Belt one, I, I have it say, Speaker 1: I'm going to call your number when I get home. I want to see what it's like. Speaker 2: Yeah, talk to it. Ask it questions. Um, I believe on the Black Belt one, I have it saying, hi, I've used all martial arts women's names. Um, I believe our the one for Black Belt is is Rose. I like Rose. Uh, I think it's Rose. Uh, we had Ronda for Academy Safe. Ronda Rousey. Um, so I, uh, Honda Rousey. Honda Rousey. Uh, so, uh, yeah, I'm going to probably do it for myself just to, to screen some of the calls because I just get a crazy amount of spam calls, but I don't want to change my number. Family, friends, you know, the podcast, like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, so I'm going to do that. But again, it'll be like, if I don't, that looks like spam, I'll let the AI pick up. And then I'm going to have it say something like, if you know Milton, just send him a text, I'll call you back. Uh, if this is a business call or something, please, you know, give us your information, we'll have them get back to you. Something like that. Speaker 1: Oh, Honda Rousey. Speaker 2: Oh, so you don't even want it to be able to forward to you? Speaker 1: Not a chance. Speaker 2: So I'm going to have it ring to, it'll ring to me first and if after X amount of rings, I don't pick it up, the AI will pick it up. It'll, it'll push to the AI. I have to make that happen. So, Speaker 1: That's cool. Tell me when you set up, I'm going to call you. Yeah, yeah. And like, let me go to AI. Speaker 2: Yeah, I've got to play with this weekend. I certain things that are like not priority, I save for. Speaker 1: Is it going to record our voices and then turn us into its own podcast where it can take our sponsors? Speaker 2: It records, it records the voice and gives me a transcript. Speaker 1: Hi, AI's gone pretty far. Speaker 2: But can it, can it make you, you know what I'm saying? Can it answer the phone as you just because for, Speaker 1: But can it sample your voice? Speaker 2: We're not there yet, probably. Oh, well, you know what? I think there are some out there that you can record your voice. There is actually, uh, I see a lot of commercials for like people who record themselves. Like you, before AI really blew up, I actually did a meeting with a guy who's like, we record like, you say, like, read like one minute worth of stuff, like read anything and we'll get enough words that we could then create any video. Before AI really like blew up, Speaker 1: It's like, it's so welcoming. Speaker 2: That's probably a year or two ago. Speaker 1: What's that? The faceless Instagram profiles or like the hot AI girl that you can't quite tell, like those things. Speaker 2: They would, they needed video of you. They needed video of you talking. Um, and then they could just, I could just create a video of Ben saying whatever I wanted it to say. Speaker 1: That's dangerous. Speaker 2: That was and that was a couple years ago before this, that was like prior. Speaker 1: They can do that now. Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, now it's, Speaker 1: I've seen like movie trailers that are like, oh, this is a real movie, like, nah. Speaker 2: Do you see the guy, there's one I get all the time on YouTube where the guy's like, uh, his arm's on fire. He goes, uh, this is AI and his arm's on fire. And then the screen opens up and he's like, he's just talking, but then it's a woman talking and it's, uh, like a gladiator talking, you know. He's like, this is AI, I'm AI, you know, like, it's all him talking, but it's, it changes the face, the whole thing changes. It's crazy. Speaker 1: Catfishing is going to go to a whole new level. Speaker 2: Oh, man, I think about that shit all the time. Speaker 1: Being in the dating game, you must be terrified. Speaker 2: Um, not really. Speaker 1: No. Speaker 2: Not on the market like that anymore, Ben. I'll tell you later. Speaker 1: Oh. Unbelievable. Speaker 2: I'm not on the market. Speaker 1: Maybe we're not as good friends as I thought. Jeez. Speaker 2: Some, some things that, you know, I, I'm, I'm a, I'm big on like you jinx things when you tell too many people. Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, yeah. Speaker 2: I, uh, with relationships, I don't, I mean, not that I'm like, I, Speaker 1: It's nobody's business what you're doing. Speaker 2: Yeah, I just, I keep that shit to myself. Speaker 1: But the fans want to know. Speaker 2: Nobody wants to know. Speaker 1: Welcome to our new segment. Let's date Milton. Speaker 2: No, don't, don't do that. I am not a serial dater. Whoever's watching this, if anybody, hey, bro, bro, bro, you're going to mess me up here. You're going to mess me, you're going to mess me up. I am not a serial dater. Speaker 1: If you are a dedicated, Speaker 2: No, no one ever said you were. Speaker 1: No, I'm not a serial dater by any means. Speaker 2: Um, let's, let's, so, hey, so, Speaker 1: That is a weird situation. Speaker 2: Let's, uh, let's, uh, let's do some of these, uh, quick shout outs. So, um, let's talk about the book. Uh, this is pronounced Yurei, I believe, right? I got clarification on that today. Yurei. Uh, this is, uh, book by our friend Mike Bidwell from BJJ after 40. Uh, it's called Yurei, Legend of the Shadow Blade. Right? Very cool. Just got it. Put it in my bag to bring here. I got it like last night, I think. Um, got it, brought it here and I'm hoping to start reading it. Crack that thing open this weekend. Uh, this is a fiction book. He did a, uh, like a BJJ after four, after 40 manual that, that's really cool. That's so this is his second book. So, really just want to support him. Speaker 1: I don't think it's fictional. I think it's. Speaker 2: You can get this on Amazon, everyone. If you, uh, if you want to check it out. Speaker 1: What's that? There's a lot of blood on the cover. I like it already. Speaker 2: There's a lot of blood on the cover. Uh, it, very interesting. If you follow, follow Mike at BJJ after 40 on, on Facebook or Instagram and you'll learn the story. He puts that, especially on Facebook, he has a, like a long form video of how this book came to be. I think it was like from a, from like a, uh, like, I don't know, a mushroom session. Like the idea came to him after that, I believe. I don't want to, I don't want to misquote, but, Speaker 1: Next time Mike comes to town, we should hang out longer than just a Jiu-Jitsu seminar. Speaker 2: Yeah, we'd have some, uh, some, uh, conversations. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's Florida, baby. Uh, we talked about Academy Safe. You can check out Academy Safe at academysafe.org. Use code JJD5, spelling out five, JJD F I V E. Uh, if you use that code at checkout, you get a couple of bucks off your membership. Um, like we said, you don't need to do all the things or have all the things to sign up. We're actually introducing a coaches section. So if you're just a random coach and your gym isn't going to, we're going to have a listing of all the coaches. We're working on that too. We have a really cool webmaster now that just handles our site, aside from my marketing company that does editing. We have somebody that's just like bringing new ideas and design. We read the the the homepage. We just added, uh, sex registry, um, checks, uh, uh, websites under our resources page for the US, Canada, and Interpol has like a place where you can check. Right? So you can really check everything. So that's all on our website. That's on our website now. Homepage is being redone. Uh, but there's just lots of things that, you know, we want to be like a resource, truly like a a growing source of information for people that, you know, want to, number one, get listed and be, you know, in good standing and then for, you know, parents and and and practitioners that are like, I'm looking for a new gym. Let's go here first. We list you as long as the coach passes the background check, we immediately launch your listing page, so the Academy's listed. So you're getting benefit right away. Um, and then it'll show you not accredited yet and once you get accredited, we'll list you as accredited. So there's just kind of levels to it. Speaker 1: Conversation starters. Speaker 2: I just had this idea, it literally just popped in my head. It is not hard to get on, say, local news, CBS 12, whatever. Like at least for my perception, because they've literally called me before, hey, do you guys have any events coming up that we can, they just need stuff. You know? Have you guys thought, at least on the local level, reaching out to like one of the news stations? Because when you think about it, it's not just that we're, we're trying to push Academy Safe. We're, we're pushing the entire business, the entire community. Speaker 1: The narrative that you, that, that you should be getting, that you should have your, Speaker 2: Well, vetted staff in any business, especially when you're dealing with children and or women where you have to touch somebody, roll around, fight with them. They should be, they should be the norm. Speaker 1: Right. But it, let's the populace know that like, hey, these people aren't checked. They don't have to do this and they're not because it does save money and it isn't cheap. But we are be able to provide this and look, at least in our local area, all these gyms have got on board because they believe in what, you know what I mean? And then that we add to the community. Speaker 2: So I just, we did have, uh, a board member originally that was supposed to do that for us. Uh, it didn't work out. Um, unfortunately, he wasn't able to, um, to do what we needed him to do, which was to get us in, listen, he's the same guy that got the podcast in the Sun Sentinel a few years back when, uh, when my, uh, buddy Miguel was, uh, was co-hosting and we were filming in Boca and Miami. Um, so he does it as a business. Um, he just wasn't able to do it for us now, you know, time, energy. Um, it was wasn't able to do that. We so we had somebody. So essentially, like we do need like a PR person, but again, you know, we want to, you know, everybody wants to get paid and I respect that. I don't, I don't hold that against anybody, but we need people to donate their time. Excuse me, I put out, you know, a post about, um, somebody, you know, helping with, you know, we needed a webmaster. And, uh, we got a, a former police officer up in the Chicago area that's, uh, built his own website, is familiar with WordPress. He's done a great job. And, uh, he's been bringing lots of ideas to the table. So I mean, that's what we need, you know, it's like people believing in the, in the, um, in the idea, in the concept, in the fact that, you know, the martial arts needs to be cleaned up. And, uh, you know, um, I've offered him, I said, hey, if you ever need anything, any help with marketing, let me know. We gave him a free Academy Safe membership. Uh, so he's going through the process. We just, we, we meet with him every Wednesday and we were just talking to him about the AEDs. That's why it was fresh on my mind. We were just talking, he's like, I just got to get the AED and I'm like, hey, look, I know, you know, I know it could be expensive. I went through everything we just talked about and gave him that link. So, um, so yeah, I mean, it's, it's moving forward, man. I'm like, I don't want to say surprised. I am very happy at where we are. You know, we're, we're close, we're getting close to 200 members total. Like facilities or individual owners? Individual coaches. I'm calling those members, right? And then accredited Academies, you know, once you get accredited. Uh, so again, you know, we're, we're trying to make, so like, a coach can just do it and he, a coach can say, maybe it's a coach who does like lots of privates. And that coach can say, hey, look, I just want you to know, look at my page. I'm here. I have a background check. This is where you can check it out. It's a private nonprofit is doing this. Um, and look, and I always say this because it's the first thing that I'm going to think of as a parent. Um, we can't stop somebody from doing something shitty in the future. We're not stopping, that's not what this is meant to do. This is meant to show people who are, uh, on board with, you know, sharing this information, right? Hey, look, we're back, we're checking our people. You know, the, again, we can't stop somebody from doing something bad, but we can make sure that everybody in the Academy has like US Center for Safe Sport, right? They go through that course and that makes people, we've talked about this before, that makes people go, their head's like on a swivel, like, okay, okay, yeah, that's a little weird. Maybe we shouldn't do that. That was in the video. Why is that person talking to that person? Is that person being groomed? Like you start to think about these things. You know, there's some, we've got some Academies with, you know, up to 20 coaches. That's all, that's a lot of coaches, a lot of classes. And guess what? You know, there could be a perv amongst that. Surprise, you know. There could be a perv in there and he passes a background check, but you know what? Now everybody's more conscious and watching. They're literally seeing the sign on the door when they walk in and maybe there's, you know, maybe we get them a flag and it's on the wall and they're literally like, you know, we're, like, they're policing themselves, let's say it that way, right? So, um, yeah, I'm, I'm excited about where it's going. I'm, I'm, again, I don't want to say surprised. I knew that we needed it. It took off quickly. With, we're working with, I say we're nearing, um, 200 because we're working, got to turn that off. We're working with, uh, UCLA. They have 20, approximately 20 different programs. Uh, martial arts programs and each program has a coach and an assistant, an assistant coach. So we're working on getting all that done. You know, there were things that happened with like the government cutting UCLA, UCLA off for funding. There was like a little bit of battle there. Speaker 1: Yeah, it becomes part of your resume. Speaker 2: I didn't know that. Speaker 1: Yeah, there's, you know, some things in the news about funding being cut. So they had to backtrack a little bit and other things became became priority, but we're still working with the with the director over there. And he just emailed us. I, I told him, you know, one of the things was just time, with everything that's changed there, there's a shift in his time and his priorities. And I said, look, just have your coaches call us. We've got everything that we need. We just have to like get their okay on certain information that they are okay with sharing with us. Name, address, phone number, yeah. They do background checks. They do Center for Safe Sport. They do US Center for Safe Sport certification already. So so much of it's done, so we figured out how do we get that information on, how do we collab and so on. So, um, so when I say, I'm, when I say close to, to 200, we've got the spreadsheet. We literally need to go down and each one of them has to okay with their information being released from UCLA to us. So that's where we're at. But like, we've got the spreadsheet with everybody. So that's 40 coaches, potentially 40 coaches. Uh, and then there's going to be a handful that just don't do it or somebody that's just like, well, I only help out here. I don't, I don't coach anywhere else. We offered them, hey, look, if you're a coach or an owner, you'll get it through UCLA here and we'll give it to you free for your, we'll start an Academy page for you. If you want to get accredited, you got to put through the rest of your Academy, but we're going to list you and now you have a free membership as long as you're with UCLA and we have this agreement with them. So, I mean, again, so we're nearing 200 and, uh, yeah, it's exciting to see, you know, I see the numbers every day. So, uh, very cool. Let me do these last couple of shout outs. So again, you know, we've got, uh, Mike Bidwell's new book. Check it out on Amazon. Uh, thank you to our friends over at Flo N' Roll. Got my new water, uh, my, uh, water bottle, uh, from the, my, my water bottle, am I saying it right? Water bottle at the last IBJJF in Vegas. Um, I had, what else? I had a couple, oh, I have like a bag of patches and keychains and things that I'm going to bring to your event this weekend. Uh, I'm going to have it like maybe try to just do a little giveaway or maybe give it away to some of the kids. Like there's some cute little like keychains and colorful things and some patches and stuff like that. Uh, but Flo N' Roll's hands down the best custom Gi and No-Gi gear in the business. You can visit them on Instagram at Flo_roll, excuse me, at Flo_n_roll. Uh, check out the custom designs they've created for Academies and competitors all across the country. We were talking about the pre-order program. We weren't talking about that on air yet. So you were asking about the pre-order program that some companies like put, um, like you can buy this Academy's gear. That's great. What Flo N' Roll does, he does a pre-order program. So he puts all of your gear online. Your students can buy it. Then they print it. They take that money, use it to print and get everything to you and directly to, if anybody place an order online, they'll send it directly to them. But you take the profit from that and then get your bulk order done, right? What you need for your Academy. So you're not laying out money for the entire order. You're, you're laying out a little bit of money for the artwork. Whatever he charges, I think honestly, it's like under 500 bucks. Now your stuff's online. You're, you send all your students to order from there. You still get the profit. He either sends you a check or now you take that and you place that towards your larger bulk order for the stuff you're going to get. And again, he ships everything directly to the to the students and now you have gear in your Academy. So that's his pre-order program. It's available if you go to his site, you can see who's got a pre-order program. But your question was like, does he keep the link up for the for the Academy? As I understand it, he does not. What he does is that Academy might go, hey, six months later, say, hey, we're ready for another order. Same artwork, same Gis. We like everything the way it is. We don't have to change anything. Turn it back on. I'm going to start sending my students there again. Now I'll do my next bulk order. I ran out of stuff in my Academy or I'm all out of A3s. I'm all out of belts. I'm all out of this. Turn on the pre-order, let some people buy. Takes that cash and then places it towards the order, which I think is incredibly convenient, especially, you know, look, we know, look, who wants, you know, we're business owners. Who wants to lay out thousands of dollars for gear? That's going to sit and has to be sold over time. That's, that's difficult. So we get that. Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 2: And it takes up tons of space. If you can eliminate what, half of that. Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 2: So, and like he sends it to, like my backpack for the gym. I have like a small backpack when I go lift. I have my, I got a really nice Flo N' Roll bag for, for, for Jiu-Jitsu. Bigger, can get my Gi in there. But just like my gloves, I throw my water bottle. I have a few things that I bring to the gym with me. I use the backpack, the string, you know, one of those string, you pull it tight. I use that as my backpack. That was for my Gi. They, they put the Gi comes in a bag. It's beautiful. It says Flo N' Roll on it. Like they do a really good job of of getting you the stuff. All of your gear comes in like the shirt, T-shirt comes in like a little Flo N' Roll bag. He does a really good job at like the presentation. Like your shit looks on point when your students are getting it. You know, and then they, again, they're getting this extra bag that they don't even know they're getting. He throws in some stickers. He throws in some stuff from us. He throws in stuff from other people he works with. So you can go check them out at flonroll.com. You get 20% off of your online order. So if you're just ordering like one Gi, you're ordering anything, you're going to use code JJD. That it does not work on the custom orders or the pre-order stuff, but you can get a, uh, 20% off on your orders. Um, that is it. So, what are we going to name this podcast? What are we, what do we want to call this? Speaker 1: 50 kimonos is a lot of money. Speaker 2: Well, obviously, this fight, this, this, this podcast is brought to you by Fight Tape. Speaker 1: This is it. Speaker 2: If you couldn't see our shirts, we accidentally matched. Fight Tape. Yeah, Fight Tape on your bottle. Boom. Turn that around. There you go. Fight. We didn't see enough Fight Tape. Speaker 1: Not, there's, it's on the front and the back. Oh, hey, there you go. Speaker 2: I saw that packing video again. Your packing video. Speaker 1: I just put one up. I was like, oh, dude, I haven't posted in a while. Speaker 2: It's the same one. It's the same one. It's the repost of the old one. Oh, you did another one? I've done, I've done like five or 10 of them. Yeah. I'm, I'm watching it and I know you sped it up and I'm like, man, he could do this so much faster if he just had a stack of tape. You like, but then it's too fast. No, right. I had like, you have to go one at a time. People want to see. I just think it's funny. I'm like, I'm going to bust his balls about, hey, why are you just putting one roll of tape? I think, I think people really like the sound. Yeah, it's the, um, that MS, what is that? MS. ASMR. ASMR kind of feel to it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it does that. Speaker 1: No, no, no. Speaker 2: Crinkling of paper. Yeah, yeah. It has and you get a lot of views on those, right? I, I feel like, Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. Speaker 2: I haven't had one blow up, but I've had, I've had a couple decent views on them. By the way, I was going to say your guys, not only, I mean, I don't know if somebody's helping your, some of your students out with their with their social media as well, but they do a really good job there. Speaker 1: Who's that? Speaker 2: Uh, like the kid, the kid that's going to, the kid that's going to fight, uh, that I just saw the video, it's like his first amateur fight. What's his name? Kurt. Kurt. Kurt. So it's the other guy, the guy with the dreads. Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Speaker 2: Corey. He's fighting in two weeks. But they, they both do a really good job at getting social media out there. Are they doing it with the, with the guy that, Speaker 1: I was approached by a guy, uh, named, I believe it's Alex, it's definitely his real name, but I think his last name is pronounced like Marcato. Okay. Uh, he's a videographer. Okay. And he's like, he was, he reached out to me, he's like, hey, man, I've been doing this for a long time, but I always just doing work. I want to do something I enjoy. And we got to chat and, and he was like, and we kind of settled on like a UFC embedded kind of thing. And I was like, just by chance, I got four guys booked. Now, down to two, unfortunately. Okay. But like all my guys had pretty good stories. You know, Kurt's this kid, he started training at 13. He's done a ton of grappling tournaments. He's done point kickboxing. He's done full contact kickboxing. He turned 18, December 18th, or December 12th. And I was, how fast can we book this? January 24th. We're good to go. Is it Combat Night? Combat Night up in Orlando. Right. So I was like, you got that cool story. Corey, Corey is just the the coolest guy. He's just the cool. Yeah. Great guy to work with. My other guys had crazier stories. But yeah. I had one quite dramatic actually. We'll we'll talk about that afterwards. Uh, and he was like, yeah, awesome. And so I didn't know what we'd get. He came in, he got some, he did all of it in gym. He wants to get a little more in depth next time, I think. Yeah. I was like, how cool would it be if you were to go to school with Kurt? Well, he's a senior in high school. Oh, shit. Yeah. Getting ready for this. You got to get permission. Right. Or at least, you know, hey, Kurt, I need you to film this. I need you to film this. Do it landscape. Send it to me. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Probably him doing it himself. You know, we can get him as soon as he walks out the doors. Right. Probably get on campus and get him when he's coming out of the school. But he this time we've done everything pretty much in gym, but it's not too far off from like a UFC embedded kind of thing. It looks awesome. Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaker 1: I'm always curious, so I, I mean, I don't know if you've had a, had a conversation with him about it, but they do, the two of them specifically, I know I follow them as well. Um, because sometimes I see it and I'm like, oh, that's not Ben's. Oh, that's his. Okay, that's his. He's, it's on his channel. And I'm sure they collab and all that stuff. But I'm always interested, like, I'm curious about somebody like that who's in high school, putting out that kind of social media content. What kind of feedback that he's getting from, from students, friends, girls, you know? They all follow each other. They see that. I mean, that's, you know, you see him pounding on somebody. It's just like, I'm sure the girls are like, hey. Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaker 1: Dude, he, he is a good kid. He, he dated the same girl for like on and off for like three years. Yeah. Dated another one. Like, that's it. Like, he's not hoeing around. He's clean. He's well-behaved. He's a good student. Speaker 2: Oh, awesome. Speaker 1: He's like, is he reported back like, man, the girls are like, Speaker 2: I don't know. I think more than anything, it's dudes. He was like, dude, my history teacher is a brown belt. And he's like, you want to come train at my gym? You're really good. He's like, no, I don't. You know, come to mine. Yeah. And like, I know, like, we've been on fight trips and it could just be that, hey, like, there's other fighters in the area because we're here. But like, we've been stopped in a public. Oh, dude, I've seen you online. Yeah. I know I get it. Like, locally. Yeah. Hey, I've seen you do, do you run a gym? Yep. And which is awesome. It means it's working. Speaker 2: You know what's funny about this, I mean, I'm asking the question. So you've answered that question, but like for me as an older guy, where I get it is in the, in the gym. Um, or if I visited a friend's gym or something like that. Like I'm going to go out to a Hanas, they got a a ceremony like in March that I got scheduled like. So I, I, you know what? I didn't get it in the beginning because I was just always at my school. I did this. I was at my school. Everybody knew. They saw it grow. Some of them were on the podcast. So it was like very normal. My coach used to drop a joke or two about, uh, about, you know, the, you know, the podcast here. Hey, what are you doing a podcast over there in the corner, you know, talking? And, um, I've had it happen a couple of times in my school where somebody, I see them looking at me, even like parents. I feel like they're looking at me trying to figure out where they know me from or they know, now they know me, but want to say something and don't. And then I've had like parents or somebody come up to me. That person that I saw looking at me one day and then they come up to me and like, I'm just thinking they're looking at me. I'm like, all right, they're looking at me. They're they're looking at tons of people. They're watching the class. And then they'll come up to me and be like, hey, man, I really love the podcast. And I'm like, oh, that, okay, so you did recognize me from that. I only now. And it's I've had a parent and a student do that in the last couple weeks where somebody asked me, it was really cool. The guy was just asked, he's like, hey, um, he's like, hey, man, you know, I watched the podcast, uh, you know, he's like, what was the, you know, why did you start it or what was the, you know, you know, tell me, give me the story of like how this started. Why'd you do it? And you know, I just explained it. I just did it for fun. I was working for another company. I had nothing to do with anything else that I was doing like it does now where, you know, it's, it's kind of like meshed with everything else that I do just by sheer coincidence. Uh, but, um, yeah, you know, so, so again, I, you know, I see somebody looking at me and then I'm like, then they come up to me. Uh, Sean's always messing with me. He's just like, people came up to me at the IBJJF like either, hey, I like what you're doing with the with the Academy Safe or like, hey, can I take a picture with you? They knew me from the podcast. Listen to you all the time. But Sean gives it to me hard. He's like, oh, you're famous now. And I'm like, nah, I mean, he's like two or three people coming up to you, you know, it's no big deal. Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 2: I've had two of my students, like guys that have been in my gym for six, eight, 10 months, come up and be like, hey, I watched that show you're on. It's a good show. Yeah. Are we embarrassed about that? Like, yeah. And I had one, I don't like to fanboy too much. When I was in Vegas, Danaher was sitting in like one of those plastic lawn chairs, like just the regular seating chairs, you know. He was in front of like the main, there was a kids podium on one side and then there was the adults podium. Um, actually, I think it was like, did they break it up into three podiums? I think it was like a No-Gi podium, a Gi podium and then the kids podium. But anyway, did they do Gi and No-Gi? I should. No, no, it was just No-Gi for the adults. I'm sorry. So, they, he's, you know, they were awarding stuff and he's just sitting there and I'm like, I could just go up to him right now. But I don't like to fanboy. I if I know somebody or I've met them through the podcast and I'll be like, I saw Robert Drysdale. We've interviewed him. He's like, hey, he recognized me. Like, hey, Melo, come over shake. Hey, do you mind if we take a picture? But I'm not like new guys like, hey, um, hi, Mr. Danaher. I feel weird about doing that. So I do also get how like sometimes somebody's looking at me and yeah. I just started to go to these. So this is I'm not like my head isn't blown up. I feel weird about it though. I actually ran into him. I ran into him on the streets. He told us, he told us a story last time. He made you call Laboreo. Dude, it was. Call your coach. Tell him I said hello. By the way, you did put me together with Laboreo, but he he didn't answer the, he didn't come in and answer the time. Yeah, yeah, he's not. I know. I know. I've spoken to him once through Instagram years ago when we first started and then that, right? Um, I I figure I figured that like Shane, like Shane was going to be the guy to bring him in. Like I got to tell Shane, hey, bring him Laboreo. Like bring him in. But he's also now we want to do everything in person and he's up there in like Atlanta, Kissimmee area, right? Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 2: Or I guess, yeah, because he does like, I think he's gone UCF campus. Um, I mean, I know, you know, um, my stepdaughter's boyfriend was he took a Jiu-Jitsu class as part of his curriculum. And, um, I believe I would do it. There are multiple, there's a program now. There's an after, there's like a, there's a club program. But there's also like, I think a regular club program. Yeah. And then there's the class where you're getting the credits, which I think is freaking amazing. Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 2: I have a like a small Nova Southeast building by me. Obviously, no gymnasium. No big deal. But I have Palm Beach State like two miles away. They have a YMCA, they have a gymnasium. And I've been calling them for literally years. And I think I've had a human on the phone once and they were like, I wouldn't even know where to send you. Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 2: To to start a program. Yeah. Did you get, did you pick his brain on how he got it started there? He went through the kinesiology department. Say that, say that three times fast. Kinesiology. You slow down when you said that. I probably couldn't even say it. So I'm going to try. Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 2: So I'm like, okay. The, uh, so he, okay, so, so like I, they, they always ship me around like, oh, we'll send you to the gymnasium, we'll send you to athletics because, you know, Palm Beach State's not a huge university. You know, it's not an FAU or even size even. You know, so who knows if they even have the ability to facilitate something like it. Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 2: Now's the time because it's becoming so popular. And I'll tell you what, fast forward, how long is this you this, uh, UFC deal? Is it a seven-year deal? It's like a seven-year deal with Paramount. Something like that. I, I, I purchased my Paramount, um, I purchased Paramount Plus right before they were raising the price. Like they were like last chance to get it at $59 for the year, which I did. Um, but I'm going to tell you, I'm going to tell you something and I'll tell you why. Speaker 1: Oh, with Paramount.
