Some men are built for football while others aren't. This is the main discussion of today's show. “Fearless” soldier T.J. Moe joins Jason in the studio to discuss a matter that Jason brought up months ago and received much hate for. Three months ago, Jason said, “Tua Tagovailoa is Glass Joe, the video game character from the old Nintendo arcade game 'Punch-Out!!' He was a 38-year-old boxer with a record of one win and 99 losses. I'm not calling Tua a beta. He's not. Tua has a heart for the game of football. He's just not built for it.” Fast forward to today, and now, Tua has suffered many concussions. In fact, the Miami Dolphins medical staff is now having Tua sit out of games. “Fearless” contributor Steve Kim joins the Tua discussion — and we bring up Lamar Jackson as well. Should Lamar sit out of Baltimore's playoff contest? “Fearless” contributor Shemeka Michelle joins a discussion about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle that came about because of the Netflix documentary. Does anybody actually know Harry's last name? If so, please email Jason. Tennessee Harmony welcomes Pastors Anthony and Virgil Walker to discuss the topic of prayer — specifically in regard to the Damar Hamlin tragedy and many with the mainstream media posting “pray for Damar.”   We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

You know, if you're gonna get into the business of content creation, the whole reason to create a video is because I want as many people to see it as possible. But it's not just about shooting the video, you got to distribute it.

You constantly don't have to chase it. Hi, I'm Mike Cuevas to real estate marketing. And this podcast is all about building a strong personal brand people have come to know, like trust most importantly, refer. But remember, it is not their job to remember what you do for a living. It's your job to remind them. Let's get startedWhat's up ladies and gentlemen, welcome another episode of the real estate marketing dude podcast book. So we're chatting about today is repurposing content creation. Gee, what a what a surprise. I'm gonna show no, but we're gonna dial in repurposing because we have so many people that I'll just create videos and let them die to newsfeed. And I'm always like, what's the point of that? You know, if you're gonna get into the business of content creation, the whole reason like why create a video is because I want as many people to see it as possible. Right? That's usually why people take a video, you do videos to get more people to see it. But when you don't spend the time, it's not just about shooting the video, you got to distribute it, you have to distribute it. And then when you're done distribute it, then you need to multipurpose it. And that's what we're going to talk about today. How do you get more out of doing less? And how do you squeeze the most amount of content out of your videos? How do you squeeze the most amount of content out everything you're doing? Right? And it's all through multi purposing? So we wanted to bring on a guest today. This is what he does. He does a lot of this multi purposing for different coaches and people within the industry and what he does is he multipurpose is a lot of a lot of the content that a lot of these people are creating so they get the most mileage out of it. So we're gonna go through exactly get some tips from him on what he's doing, how he's doing it and why we're going to be doing it. So without further ado, let's go ahead and introduce our guests. Mr. Zack Shoal. What's up, dude? Hey, Mike, what's up, man? I appreciate you having me on. Absolutely. Zack, why don't you go ahead and tell our our peeps a little bit about who the fuck you are? And what you do, and let's get into this. Sure, man, that's not a fucking problem. So.So I actually have my own podcast and Mike was just on, I really appreciate that. It's called coaches and content. And basically, we teach people how to get clients through content. And a lot of that's to repurposing. So that's on YouTube, all podcast platforms. And then we also we help you produce your own podcast, you know, YouTube and audio. And then we repurpose your long form content in the short content for Tiktok, Instagram, reels, Facebook, all that, because like Mike just said, you know, what, you make one piece of content, you put it out there, and then that's gone, you have to reuse it as many times as possible, you know, you want to make the most for doing the less, right. So that's what we do is we help you produce content, whether we coach you, or recorded for you or whatever. And then we take one piece of content, and we stretch it out, you know, 100 different ways. what do what do you think that? Let's start from the beginning here? And what are most people doing? Right now? Because most people, at least in my world, you're doing more on the podcast, but we're both creating content. I do more video sighs I create videos for people and we multipurpose those videos. You're doing this in podcast, but what most people that do, like what most people are lack of what do they don't do?Yeah, I think that it's like what you said before they make a piece of content, put it out there. And then that's it. And it's like you're spending all this time and effort. So why not maximize your efforts? So I think that's the thing is they think that you can just post it once and that's it. When that's not the case, you know, you can repost it different ways, different different times. And I think people also don't realize that you can make one clip and post it on all platforms, you know, link, you know, LinkedIn, Instagram, real tick tock Facebook, even YouTube has YouTube shorts now. So I don't think people realize that you can make one piece of content and put it across all the platforms that are out there, because some people are on different platforms. Some people are on here, some people are there.So and I always try to tell people, you know, I, for me, personally, my own personal brand is my strategy. And so I try to teach people is I start with Facebook Live. So I'll do like a five to seven minute Facebook Live. So that goes on Facebook Live. I'll download the whole thing. Put that on YouTube. Right, and then I'll turn the audio into a podcast so that now it's now it's on the podcast. So you have Facebook Live YouTube, audio of the podcast, and then you could take out you know, but the five to seven minute video, you can pull out to 32nd clips from that one Facebook Live. And that right there is what four different ways to share one video. On top of that, what you could do is which I don't do but if you had a website and a blog, you could transcribe the words from the video into a blog, turn that into a blog and then post a video and the audio on your blog. And then you can email that to your list. You could post that on social media. So the other thing too is you do a Facebook Live once and then you put it outOn YouTube, so a week later, you can repost the same video, but you just drive everyone to YouTube instead. So you're basically promoting the same video, then a couple days later, you could post that 32nd clip that you made, and drive people back to YouTube again. So it's really like, I tried to do everything with purpose, because it takes a lot of time and effort to make content, you know, especially if you're paying an editor, especially if you're super busy, do you really want to do everything with purpose and not waste your time. So that's really a great way to do it. That's kind of how you can repurpose something multiple times. I'm in the process of doing just that, like with this podcast, like I stopped. The podcast is killing my YouTube channels, I stopped publishing my podcasts on my YouTube channel. And I'm not using the video, I'm using just the audio for the last eight months, because I've been so damn busy. And I'm breaking my own rule like, now I'm in the process of cutting up my podcast and meteorite until like the 15 to 3045 second clips, and then that is going to be a lot of my reels. And that's going to be a lot of my tiktoks. Right, because I don't have time to I just don't have time right now, guys. I'm just like, super busy. And I don't have time to create content, but I know I need to do it. And I haven't really gotten into my short form game yet. But that's how I'm going to do it is it's all going to be repurpose stuff, right? Because everything will be repurposed on stuff that we've had, we have so many different clips to use, we're just putting the process together right now to be able to do that and have it sort of done in the background for me, so don't have to think too much of it. But you're right, this show right here that we're shooting is probably gonna be like 30 minutes.I could probably create. So here's what I could do with this podcast right here, you guys, I'll create the show. There's a video format. If I wanted to take this video and upload it to YouTube, I could do it. There's one. The second thing I could do is I could take this 30 minute podcast and cut it up into 30 to 62nd clips. And I could probably get what do you usually get out of these? Like five? The seven? Yeah, if you if you wanted to, I generally do like two or three. But yeah, you could do you could do a lot. I mean, a lot. Yeah. So there's another five pieces of content, I can take those and distribute them over the next 30 days. I can take this video, and then I do put my podcast back on my website. So there's another piece of content there. I transcribe the podcasts that I put all the words on the website.What else can we do? I mean, you could even if you transcribe it, if it's a video of just you, you know, you could turn that into a piece of email content, you know, a lot of people right, like long form email content, if more so coaches and stuff but you know, you could turn it into a piece of email content. I see a lot of people do that as well. So why is would you agree that content in general, like this whole word content is now finally coming in, in the real estate industry pretty mainstream. But five or six years ago, no one's talking about creating content.Nobody. No one's really talked to ever about credit card. They're always like chase a chase lineage I am journey object chase a chase leads. Chase leads convert, oh, you're one more no way for your next Yes, shut the fuck up.Like seriously, no one's talked about creating content. We're like one of the last businesses in the world to get the content creation. But concentration isn't anything new. You guys, this has been going around for the last 40 years. Content marketing. Real estate has just never taken it on as much as they are starting to embrace it now. And let's get through what content can be for real estate agents. So what is the content? What can you What would you tell a real estate agent, a mortgage broker and investor? Who is just doing a daily? They're working every other day? What can they be creating content on? What if they don't have a podcast? Well, first, I think you made a good point about the real estate industry, I think that people are just so set in their ways. And so you know, they're grinding every day, they're putting their head down there in the trenches. So it just didn't think about it. But I think the people who started making content early on, you know, like Chris Demacia, I used to work with Krista and she started doing video really super early on, you know, kind of like how you started your podcast super early on. So I think the people who adapted it early on are ahead of the pack. And now people are kind of catching up because they see that it works.As far as content creation, I mean, it really depends on the person. You know, we used to think that tick tock was just people dancing, and like acting up and looking stupid, but that's not really the case anymore. It's all type of content on there. So I always tell people, you have to be who you are. So like, I'm not going to dance. I know you're not going to dance. So if you're not going to dance, don't make that kind of content. Don't force it because people can tell like, if it's not really you good, but I think really, you know, like you're the real estate marketing dude. So you have your brand, you know, like kind of what you're going to do. So I think it really starts with there is who you are, what you do, you know how comfortable you are sharing your life. Like, you know, I see you post up with your kids all the time. You know, some people aren't as comfortable doing that. So I think that's you have to start there first. It's kind of like branding and marketing. You know, you really want to brand yourself first. You know like Kanye, you know, Tonya and Michael for brand face. Say that all the time. Start with branding first and marketing. So they got to figure outwho you are what you do first, then you can start, Zack, I'm just a real estate agent. No one wants to hear from me. Well, if you're just a real estate agent and you're already messing up, because why would anyone do business with someone who's just a real estate agent? Like, right? I'm boring right answer. Yeah. Yeah. Like that's, that's boring. Like there's a million realtors out there. If you want to stand out, Well, you better figure out who you are real quick, because there's so many other realtors out there. You know, you really got to dig deep. And it's okay to be you. You guys like, Zack, you've done a lot of content creation for a lot of influencer type people, right? Yeah. And you've done a lot of the backgrounds andyou know, at any of the people that you've worked with in the past, have you ever has any of them ever been non authentic?The one that the more authentic you are, the farther you go, you're a prime example of that, Krista is a great example of that. You know, when she would do videos where she would just wake up in the morning, she didn't have her makeup done, and I never heard on.Yeah, she doesn't give a shit. Yeah, shouldn't give a shit. And she was saying it on camera. Like I don't care. This is the real me. Let's talk about that really quick. So I think I've done a couple podcastswith Krista and like for this is breakdown the let's break down why that's so effective. So women in general, like how many women are going to one? Get on Facebook? Better yet? Get on video? Right out of bed. Right? But how many women can relate to that? All of them? Yeah, like 100% of women can relate to not being done up at 630 in the morning when they wake up.But 99.9% of women don't have the balls to go out and do it on video. And the one who does they loveright? Because they're like that's so just like me. Oh my god. She's just like, I wish I'd had their fucking guts. Right? Sounds like Miss Piggy. Yeah, I did something Miss Piggy there. I'm gonna try that again.Goats. But isn't that the truth though? Like when you see somebody do something that you wish you had the balls to do yourself? You love that?Yeah, and I think that goes back to the know like and trust factor where they see like, wow, if she's willing to be on camera with no makeup, you know her hair looking all crazy. You know, I want to do business with her because she's She must be pretty trustworthy, you would think right? No one hired anyone. They no one ever hired someone they weren't comfortable with themselves. Right? Like we have you ever like like, would you go hire some dude that you're like, dude, this guy sucks. Like I don't want even talk to this guy, yet alone, get in a car with him and drive around and look for a house for the next two years. Two months. Right? You have somebody who's like kind of shady or like, you just get a bad vibe from them then Yeah, absolutely. You don't want to do business with them. But you guys this all comes back to content. What we're talking about here is that your content isn't supposed to sell your shit supposed to remind people how you sell your shit.There's a big difference. Yeah, because if you do, if it is super salesy, then the opposite happens, where they're like, it's kind of like realtors are only posts like their listings. Like you, we get it, you know, you sold a house, you have a house for sale, whatever, but nobody cares. I mean, unless they really love the house. But chances are, you know, most people aren't gonna see that anyway. So the more salesy you are, the more you turn people off, that's for sure. Here's the number one most salesy message going around on social media right now, folks, when my parents bought their first house, their interest rate was 14%. To have interest rates at 6% isn't such a big deal. Like we should really look in hindsight, we're looking at this all wrong, folks. That's that's a sales message. Okay, that's not what this is about. Well, when your parents house was also at 18%, let's remind everyone that the fucking loans was only $200,000. And today, those loans are a million dollars. So the properties back then are were worth what they are today. And it's always come down to total monthly payment. And what a lot of people are doing right now I see on social is driving me nuts is they're just like, oh, the interest rates, nevermind the interest rates, you know, what people are really worried about right now. They're worried about the damn gas prices, they're worried about if they're gonna get laid off. The interest rates are one of the last things on their mind. But we're we're out there creating content talking about hey, oh, the interest rates, the interest rates, don't be scared to buy, you're just selling your shit. I guarantee you the person who's out there right now and talking about, hey, you should probably think twice about buying right now. And wait 30 days and see what the markets gonna do is the Glass Joe fucks up anything else? And if it does, maybe there, you're gonna have a better deal in the future. Right? So it's not so much about?Like, that's real. That's real advice. Yeah, I think when you make content you really have to think about you got to realize it's not about you. I know we're realtors. You know, it's all about them. But it's not about you. It's the people you make the content for. So rather than being salesy, think about oh, how can I help people? So like you just said, you might want to educate people on what's going on instead of trying to be salesy and say, Oh, it's not that bad. You know, whatever. No, you want to teach them, educate them.And what's going on serve them, you know, it's a three either educating entertaining and engaging content, you want to do those three. And that's really what goes a long way. And that also goes back to the know like and trust factor is, people feel like they know you, they like you and trust you when you're giving out free vital information, right?Or you're muted, and you have to do a lot of it nowadays.Like you can't justlike that's the thing. And that's where this multipurpose thing comes across. Like, this show right here will cut this thing up into what six or eight different clips, those six, eight different clips. And here's the other thing with content, at least with videos you guys are creating right now. videos that I've created, I'm gonna I'm gonna start recycling all my videos, because no one remembers them. This is one thing that people have already posted that video. No one remembers it, dude. Like you could create, you could do like six months worth of content, and then recycle that six months worth of content again, and I guarantee you like probably no one will ever notice on Facebook. Oh, you did that. We already saw that that one time? Like, do you remember what your best friend posted three days ago? No. Do you remember? What year? Are you married? No. You have a girlfriend? Yeah. Do you know what your girlfriend posted last night? No.I don't care. Well, multi purposing content also gives you guys more content to go out there because we do have to be everywhere all the time. So it's, it's good to have a lot of a lot of little jabs out there is what I'm getting at guys. VersusYeah, I also try to tell people, you know, you want to mix it up, because you make a good point. Like I could post something today, and maybe only 10 People see it anyway. But I try to tell people mix it up between evergreen content and topical stuff, that at the Evergreen stuff you can just recycle. So if you do if you do a video now about mortgage rates, you know, obviously in six months might not be able to use that video. But if you do something about like, first time home buying tips or home staging tips, that's something that you could reuse multiple times. So you kind of want to mix it in with, you know, relevant stuff. And then evergreen and evergreen for people that don't know, it's something that's timeless, you know, like something factual, or a piece of advice that will never go out of style, like they can always continuously use. So I would always tell people to mix it up. What do you believe are the best types of content to multipurpose podcast is given for sure.What other types of content? Can we multipurpose? Yeah, so I always say, you know, what, YouTube, I think the sweet spot is kind of like three to seven minutes. So I always I would say make a video. And the other thing I think people don't realize is like, right now we're on Zoom, you know, I use stream yard Facebook Live, like you don't necessarily need like this crazy setup anymore. You know, you can use green screen if you want. But even that, like you don't need a crazy setup, you don't need a crazy camera crew, like, as long as you have decent internet and a good, you know, good camera or computer. Like you can record stuff through zoom. So that's what I do, I use stream yard or zoom. So I would use that to record like a three to seven minute informative educational video. And then I've cut clips from that, so that you're making one long, it's all about the long form content, right, you make one piece of long form content, and then you can cut pieces up from that. So if you do three tips, three home staging tips, you could literally take all three tips and cut them up into three separate videos as well. And then the context of that would be it's three separate tips that you can use instead of the whole long form video where it's three tips. If that. Does that make sense? Yep. Like you could take make one video about three tips, and then cut that up into three pieces. And then it's one individual tip. And you would just have to edit it a certain way and write the captions in certain ways, or the context makes sense. Yep. See, there's a lot of stuff you guys that we have out there.I don't think thatif you're in like, here's what's happening, I think that right now, you guys have an option opportunity. Let's face it, like last three, four or five years in the market. I've been nuts. People haven't had to work much to get business. Let's be honest. It the business has been very easy guys. Business was everywhere, people are just coming to us. But as the shift comes in, you're gonna have a couple decisions to make one of those decisions to make and what are you gonna spend your money on? Or what do you spend your energy on? And, you know, one of those things is you got to consider nowadays is content, and not so much on how you're going to create it, anything you do is content, right? You don't have to if you're not going to get on video, or you have a face made for radio,even though I don't believe anyone does, but you might feel that way inside. Well, then great. You need to do something on audio, or you're gonna have to create a lot of social content, but everybody is in the business of creating content nowadays. And the faster you get to doing it, it's not going to happen overnight. But you're going to start realizing as you learn, it's learning how I learned how Zack learned here. Like when you first started creating content, it took me like a year and a half to get to understand it. You know, like back it was like 2013 2014 I was like, How can I create business? Just talking I'm not talking aboutReal Estate, it was just mind boggling to me. I was always like, wait, what do you mean, I could do a video on a neighborhood and it's gonna lead to real estate business? Don't I have to be talking about real estate?And then I realized it's just a giant popularity contest? Because no, the more you talk about work, the less people listen.It's not about what you talk about. It's like that it contains one of the three which How do you put the three E'seducational, entertaining and engaging energy, energy, educational, entertaining, and engaging. So let's get that let's give them some examples. Some tangible stuff that you'll walk away with.Education mentioned the community ones, sorry to cut you off. But I think they're doing you know, doing community video that the prime example of that, you know, as long as you're entertaining, you know, as long as you kind of make it fun and not boring, but I think that's a great, that's educational, entertaining, and engaging is go out in the community making these videos, those are one of the best videos I could do, you could do as our community tours, anything on site. But the reason why a lot of people don't do them is because they take time to do and people don't want to spend an hour doing a video. I don't get it. But it is what it is. Yeah, you know, it's getting so expensive to run ads. And people are not responding to ads like they used to, because we're so inundated with ads. So I don't really I mean, I believe in it somewhat. But like running, just running Facebook ads is not as effective as it was, you know, running Google Ads super expensive job with content, you can really attract people rather than chasing them. And it's significantly lot less cheaper than running ads, it just takes more time, like you were saying,you either I forget what girl I was listening to. Butit's like when you start out in real estate, you don't have a lot of money, but you have a lot of time.So at that those types of people, you know, you had to put in the sweat equity to get there, right. But you have other people make a lot of money in real estate, and they don't have a lot of time, but they have the money to pay someone to still get it done for them. So you got to look at which route you're in. I still believe though that regardless of what you do with content creation, you have to learn it yourself. Otherwise, it'll never work. And you have to do it yourself. It's something that you can't outsource 100% ever because you can't outsource authenticity. And you know, like, as we could create content for people, we do it all the time, we'll create well script, whether it was through your videos, but if you're not into it, it doesn't work as like you have to mentally be into it to that's why your content strategy, you have to be excited about what you're creating. If you're not it doesn't last. But I do know that if you're not creating, you're not going to last because somebody else is marketing your network. Somebody else is infiltrating you right now. And the only thing we have left and this entire business, I believe, is content creation and your personal brand. You don't have a brand unless you're creating content.Yeah, I mean, unfortunately, it's not for everyone. And so you definitely have to enjoy it.But I think more people would enjoy it than they realize. I think there's a lot of people out there who are scared to do it. And they don't realize how fun it is, you know, the the best part is, you have the best job you come up with the ideas, you edit it and stuff, but the best part of it is coming up with the ideas and filming it being on camera. And then, you know, if you're just starting out, I also agree you should learn how to do it, just so that you know and just so you know, people can't bullshit you with another video company. You might hire them and they might bullshit you and say it cost this much it takes this long. When you do the process yourself. You kind of get a better understanding of how it works, but it's fun. That's the big thing to it. I don't think people realize that they're scared, but what do you have to lose? You know, besides making yourself look like an ass but who cares? anywheres Yeah, dude, if you're not scared to show up to a listing appointment, you're not scared to get on video. It's just new. Like my first listing appointment. I was shitting bricks. I was like, Holy fuck, I gotta go get a listing. I was 24 years old. And I was like, Dude, this guy's not gonna take me seriously I don't even own real estate.Didn't I did not go to the listing appointment though. I didn't get it. But I didn't go to I did not show up. I still I still went up to bat. You know? And that's what the same thing is with video. The first time I shot a video I was like, whoa, this weird, dude. I don't want to do this. This is This is creepy. You know, I'm kind of doing dude, what do I think I'm like Steven Spielberg are some just some dude in Chicago like, you know, shoot a fucking video. What are you talking about, bro?But you it's not hard. It's just new. You have to be willing to be uncomfortable if you're not constantly, like, if I'm not constantly uncomfortable. I'm fucking not growing. Yeah, comfort comes from the comfort from the discomfort. Yeah, I've been uncomfortable as fuck for the last five years.But I thrive in it. I love it. It's because I'm always pushing the envelope folks, and you have to be willing to do what others won't otherwise someone else will do it for you. So video and content creation is just one of those things. If it's not video, it's something else. It's podcasts. If it's not podcasts, it's become a real expert become a tick tock expert. Whatever it is. It doesn't matter but you have to get on this you guys I'm not I'm singing I'mI don't need the alarm. We're not We're not fucking around over here. Yeah, I'm sounding the alarm is it? I mean, it's here. It's here. Like I'm in the process of building my own personal brand and my first couple of videos like I didn't want to do it. You know, I went, I'm in Philly. So I was at a public park, and I had to get the balls to do a live in the park. Once I hit record, I forgot about everyone around me. I did the video and I get people commenting to me all the time. Like, I love that video you did, blah, blah, blah. So you just have to put yourself out there like you really don't have what do you have to lose? You really don't want your pride. You're scared like put, you know, set all that shit aside and like, just go out there and do it. Because like you said, someone else is doing it in your market. And they're building their brand and they're becoming the go to agent in their in their market. And you're not so who's really winning in the end? Yep. And a lot of them are working with real estate marketing dude, just throwing it out there, guys just want to throw it out there. Hey, Zack, why don't you any other final thoughts? You want to mention here?I think the other thing is, you know, tick tock really changed the landscape and of everything. So the point and shoot style is really what's big right now. So it's not really no excuse not to do it you have if you have a cell phone and you have Wi Fi, there's no excuse not to do it. And tick tock, you can even edit the video in the app or real Instagram real you can edit in the app. So just take baby steps. And it doesn't have to be anything crazy. You just have to start like that's what I try to tell people is just start and you'll figure it out along the way. I agree fail forward. It's the best way to do it. You learn the hard way. But that's the only way you learn if everything was easy, you wouldn't learn anything. And then you just skate through life. But no one wants to skate through life. I want to I want to explore it. I want to fall face first and then I want to figure it out. Zach, why don't you go ahead and tell everyone your info if you guys want to reach out to him?

Trump the Thumper vs Glass Joe went down last week in a relatively tame final round of debates. If Trump had presented his case this way just a month ago, the polls would be quite different right now. As it stands, the "debates" were still sound and fury signifying nothing and a manifestation of our elected monarchy.

It seems Glass Joe is going to be the Democrat nominee. What does this mean for the future of the Democrat Party? Not much. The real juice is going to be who he picks for VP. We are witnessing a repeat of the 1840 Whig Party and the 1850s Democrats. The future is not great for a unified left, which isn't a bad thing. And should Joe win, he'll be the beneficiary of the long march toward executive government.

Aaron and Erik share details on: Stage mailings Tier pricing The offers are super important but at the same time you don't want to put too much importance on them that they stop you from moving. The most important thing is getting them out. -Aaron Mike dives into why you should go to a county where everyone is and not to a county that has no competition and uses a hunting analogy to bring the point home! Also, find out why Mark says, don't be a Glass Joe! A lot of people out there know how incredible real estate is, but they don't understand how incredible our niche is with the fact that you don't have to leverage other people's money.

On this week's podcast, Marcus sits down with Rob Holbert and Ashley Trice. From screenwriting school to ghost writing, this duo has paved a hard-working entrepreneurial journey in Mobile, AL. Listen to this week's episode to hear all about their journey to building the weekly publication, Lagniappe! You can find this episode on , Spotify, or iTunes. Rob: I'm Rob Holbert, with Lagniappe, one of the co-publishers. Ashley: And I'm Ashley Trice with Lagniappe, the other publisher. Marcus: Yay! Well, this is awesome, to have you guys on the podcast, 'cause I know we've been talking about this for a long time. Ashley: We have, since you beat us. Marcus: No, even before that. So what she's talking about, for those of you that aren't aware, we were all along with Harper Technology. We were finalists for the small business of the year award with the Mobile Chamber, because this podcast will live in perpetuity online. But we actually, in Blue Fish, ended up winning that award, much to my surprise. I honestly, I thought you guys were a shoe in. Rob: Well, we all thought you were, and Harper was. We had ourselves kind of put third. So it was one of those things where you lose, but I was completely happy with it. Marcus: [crosstalk 00:00:59] Rob: Yeah, I was completely happy with it. It was just like, great, glad you guys did well. Everybody did well. It was fun. It was really a lot of fun. Marcus: Yeah. But it was also, I really, absolutely enjoyed getting to know you guys through that process. We got to know each other so well, we started dressing alike. So, and the reference there is, if you look at the cover, both Rob and I were wearing the same jacket. We didn't plan that, it was something that just kind of happened. We know what Lagniappe is, we know what you all do. But why don't we go back in time, and why don't you take turns and kind of share with us the story of who you are. Did you grow up here in Mobile? Where did you go to high school? Did you go to college? Did you study english or journalism? Did you start working in the journalism trade, or, you know, give us some background. Ladies first. Ashley: Well, I grew up in the sticks, in Jackson, Alabama, about an hour north of here. I came, made it to Mobile, 'cause I went to South Alabama. I graduated with a degree in communications. And then tried to find a job, which is hard to do when you're right out of college. So I was kind of drifting, decided I would go to screenwriting school. So I went to the University of Texas in Austin, spent a year doing that, and realized that was not what I wanted to do, either. But it proved to be a good move, in the sense that I really, I became a fan of their alternative paper, the Austin Chronicle. Marcus: Nice. I'm familiar. Ashley: And I came back to Mobile. Rob and I had mutual friends. He was teaching at South, and we started talking. Both of us were like, we can't believe there's not a paper like this in Mobile, it's such a big market to not have a paper. And that's sort of where we intersected. Marcus: I hate to ask this, but what year was this? Ashley: 2002. Marcus: Okay, so not too long. Ashley: Well, probably 2001 we started talking about it, so. Marcus: Yeah. Ashley: Our first issue was 2002. Rob: Yeah, we worked on that for probably a good six months before we finally got one out. My background is, I grew up over in the saw grass in Gautier, Mississippi. And shoot over the sticks, I grew up in the marsh grass. I grew up in a small town over in Mississippi, Gautier. I went to school, Spring Hill, for college. Got my masters at Loyola. But I started out working over the Mississippi press in Pascagoula, out of college, and then subsequently, went back after I got my masters, and was there. And I ended up going to Capital Hill and working with Trent Lot who was, then, the senate majority leader. Sort of to get out of Gautier or get out of Pascagoula, I had gotten married, and for some strange reason, my wife didn't like Pascagoula and didn't wanna be there. And I had this idea that I would go there and learn about politics, et cetera, but I had always wanted to jump back into media. I just wanted to do it at a different level. I fell in love with opinion writing at an early age, and for some reason, they let me write a column when I was 22 over there. And I got stuck doing that, and I really loved it, and had this grandiose idea of being a syndicated columnist. And so that was the plan. I got up there and I ended up leaving Capital Hill, was a ghost writer for a while. I wrote for just about every big newspaper in the United States with somebody else's name on it. And then came back down here thinking, I'll come to Mobile, and I'll be hired by the press register, no problem. Surely, they'll want me. And they didn't. And so I kind of washed out of journalism at an early age, and was just stuck. I mean, I didn't have anywhere to go. I ended up working at Tony Roma's, the place for ribs. Marcus: Nice. Rob: And I was doing that for a little while. But I had a masters degree, ended up out at south as the advisor to the student newspaper. And so doing that, the Vanguard, the newspaper at South Alabama. And so I was teaching classes, as well. Ashley was taking one of my classes. We also knew each other through mutual friends, so I think that's kind of where she came in and said, "Will you come write a column for us?" And I said, sure, I'll write a column. Ashley: It was gonna be named the Mobile Mirror at that point, I might add, too. Rob: Yes, that was gonna be our original name, was the Mobile Mirror. And it eventually became pretty clear, we had a group of people that wanted to do stuff with it, and the only two people who were really serious were us. So we eventually said, let's just be partners on this thing. Ashley: And let's rename it something no one can spell or say or know what it means. Rob: Right, let's, yeah. That was a brilliant move as well. Everybody knows what Lagniappe means, right? Ashley: I still have to spell it and say it to people who just call. Marcus: For those that don't know, Lagniappe is ... Rob: A little something extra. It's like when you get a box of donuts, and they give you a thirteenth one. They give you an extra. Marcus: Or a couple of extra donut holes, or something sprinkled on top. Rob: Yeah, yeah. And truth be told, we misspelled it on our mock ups for the first two weeks. Ashley: Yeah. We had the ... it said [inaudible 00:06:19]. Rob: Yeah, we did. We transposed a letter. We did. It was bad. So yeah, that was the, portending things to come on that. Marcus: So in 2001, 2002, I mean, journalism was still going strong. There really wasn't the emphasis on the web, and all that other stuff. I mean, it's ... Ashley: Well, yeah. I was telling this story the other day. When we started all of the trade industry, we had a trade magazine call us. And they were like, why on earth would you be starting a newspaper at this time? Digital was just starting, but the big thing that was happening at that point were classifieds, had gone to Craigslist. So they had lost all of the- Marcus: Which was a money maker for many newspapers. Rob: It was a huge moneymaker. Ashley: It was the second source of revenue, huge source of revenue. So we, well, we don't really have classifieds. So it's not a source of revenue. We don't really have any revenue at all, so. Rob: Can't lose it when you don't have it. Ashley: Exactly. Rob: Did we mention that? Ashley: Yeah, so in a way, it was advantageous, because we didn't have it to lose. We had to start thinking of other ways to make money. And it was in the traditional sense of display advertising. But yeah, so it was definitely a different time. But we were so small, we started out as a five thousand circulation biweekly. And we were really silly at first. We were both a bit younger, I mean, we had a hard hitting issue on Botox was the very first ... Yeah. Rob: Yeah, we didn't really have a lot of news at all. Ashley: Wrestling made it in. Rob: Midget wrestling. I'm sorry, little person wrestling. Ashley: Little person. Marcus: No, back then, it was midget wrestling. Ashley: Back then, it was. But I made this speech- Marcus: We're more enlightened now. Ashley: Yes. I made this speech just recently for a bunch of high school students, and I said midget wrestling, and they all looked at me as if I had just said ... I was like, I'm sorry. Sorry, little person. And they actually called themselves midget wrestlers. It was not trying to ... Marcus: They did. Yes, it was not. It was not- Rob: That's not PC, I guess. But yeah, it was one of those things. It's like, I think Ashley had five thousand dollars. I mean, it was really just- Ashley: And a dream. Rob: That's really what the paper was started with. And it was sort of, our first big purchase was, we went out and bought a boom box, a radio that we could listen to while we put the paper together. And cell phones to call each other. And so that was it. Those were really- Marcus: Do you still have the boom box? Did you just say that? Rob: Yeah, we do. Yeah. We still have it. Marcus: Wow. Rob: It's still there. But we just ... The concepts, if you asked both of us, we just, oh yeah, in two years, this thing is just gonna be making tons of money. Because this was the biggest city in the United States that we could find that did not have an alternative newspaper at that point. There was just, you looked around a city of this size, all of them had it. Ashley: I mean, we wrote down all of the businesses. Oh, they'll definitely have, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Rob: And a lot of them were like, oh yeah, make a paper, we're gonna advertise. And then, you know, when you made the paper, it was like, check back with us when you're here for a couple years. Ashley: Yeah. Rob: And we also, one of the things that was tough for us, there had been a publication that was kind of a ... It was just about food. But it was exactly the same size as us. Ashley: It was a tabloid newspaper. Rob: Tabloid. And they had gone around and done a bunch of buying ads, doing trade for ads was what they were doing. We'll give you an ad, you give us free food at your place, and give us stuff. So it turned out badly, and they ended up owing people money, and whatever else. Just didn't follow through. And when we came in, people were like, yeah, we've seen this kind of thing before. Ashley: Yeah, you'll be gone in six months. Rob: Yeah. So that was the, everybody was like, it'll be gone. Ashley: At one point, I thought that was going to be true. Rob: Many points I thought it was gonna be. Ashley: But sixteen years later, here we are. Marcus: So doesn't every business owner? So like our story isn't much different. Started in 2007, little bit later than you. But I mean, it was with a laptop and an idea. And my first website was $300 and a tattoo for David's [inaudible 00:10:21]. I'm currently looking for another tattoo artist to do a half sleeve. I'd like to get a half sleeve done. So if you're out there and you're a tattoo artist, and you need a website ... Rob: Yeah, he's your guy. Here you go. Marcus: Send your portfolio to marcus@bluefishds.com. So what was your ... Let's go back in time, though. Because we talked to people about their first jobs, and what lessons may have been learned from it. And I often give the example of, the proper way to mop a floor, or that there's paying attention. And the reason why I give that isn't just because there's the right way to mop the floor, but it's that there's detail in something as mundane as mopping the floor. And so what was each of yours first job? And I'm looking for the crap job, I'm not looking for the newspaper job. Ashley: Well, I worked at Willy's Snow Cones in Jackson, Alabama. Rob: I love that place. Ashley: They were delicious, by the way. I learned to wear steel toed shoes when making snow cones, 'cause I- Marcus: Steel toed shoes when making snow cones? Are they afraid that you're gonna like- Ashley: Well, then, you have to get a 15 rectangular block of ice and load it into the snow cone machine, which I dropped on my foot. Had to have my toenail removed. It was ... So I guess I learned to be cautious in everything you're doing. But also, deliver delicious product at the same time. Rob: My first job was teaching swim lessons to kids, I guess when I was about 14. And I don't know what we learned from that. You know, it was fun. Not to stand in a lot of urine, I guess, was the main thing. Because it was just a swimming pool full of kids all day long. You're teaching one class after another. But I wanted to work. I couldn't wait to get a job, because I'm the oldest of five, so we had ... I was out there pushing the lawnmower all the time and do that stuff, so it was kind of part of the deal, and I just was ready to go work. I wanted to make money and save up and buy a car. Marcus: You know, I think I've been lying for about 120 episodes. I'm just sitting here realizing that my first job wasn't at the bagel bakery, and my first job was actually, 'cause Jim [Nagy 00:13:08] was the episode before you all, and he mentioned that he worked illegally, or what he thinks was illegally, at like 13, 14 years old for a fish restaurant. And so they had him fileting fish and stuff like that. And now that I'm thinking back about it, I had a warehouse job for a company that my dad worked for, and we actually took, I think they were Epson printers back in the day, when you couldn't go to Best Buy and every other place to get a printer. And we would remove the labels, and remove the barcode on the back, and replace them with the company branded information. And then they would sell them as their house brand. And I literally am just now remembering that. Rob: I think you're passed the statute of limitations on that. You're okay. Marcus: Is that okay? Rob: Yeah. Marcus: So I apologize to our listeners. That is hilarious. So you've already told us about how you started your business. Now do you remember going back to that very first issue where you thought, there's something to this. We've got it, we figured out what the recipe is. We figured out how to communicate effectively with the audience here in Mobile. 'Cause let's not sugar coat it, Mobile is a very, very unique market. Rob: I would say, one of the things that sort of gave us an idea of that is, we actually did a prototype of the paper to show advertisers. And we got threats of lawsuits from the prototype, and I thought- Marcus: Seriously? Rob: Yeah. We really pissed somebody off on just the prototype coming along. And we were kind of like, well, people are fired up. Ashley: We've already been threatened to be sued, and we haven't even- Rob: Yeah, we've already been threatened to be sued, and we haven't even published yet. So that, to me, was one. Ashley: Probably the biggest early on moment that I realized the power, just, I don't know, I still sometimes have trouble grasping this. But that people actually read what we write. I'm just a writer, so I just write because it's my craft. I don't actually think about people sitting around reading it. But we had, one of our very first cuisine editors. She was a tremendous writer, she still is a professional writer, I think, in Atlanta. And she was great. But she had a wicked tongue, and she reviewed a restaurant that's now out of business here. But the owner was ... I mean, it was tough. And it really had people talking. But he read that review on the same day that his restaurant burned to the ground. Marcus: Ooh. Ashley: And so he came into our office with soot and ash on his face to express his displeasure for it. So it kind of just made me realize, you know, that's not really answering your question- Marcus: No, it is. Ashley: But just the gravity of what we're doing, and it does matter. Rob: I do think that issue was- Marcus: There's some balance. Rob: Oh, sorry. Marcus: No, I don't mean to interrupt you, but- Ashley: I mean, I think we learned this market may not be ready for that level of honesty. But I think we've tempered a little bit over the years, but I think we still remain true to that we want honest reviews, and we want honesty in the paper. But there's a way to do it. Rob: Yeah. She was a classically trained chef, and she had lived, you know, I think she was from a much larger city. And she was used to much more brutal criticism, and- Marcus: Baseball bat to the knees sort of thing? Rob: Yeah. And you know, also, another part of that issue was our office was right next door to the guy's other restaurant. And so he came in, and he was furious. So it was kind of tough, that standpoint. But people started talking about us. Ashley: I hid under the desk, I'm not gonna lie. Rob: He was ... Oh, I'm gonna have you kicked out of this building, you're gonna never, I'm gonna do everything I can to make sure you guys never survive. But it didn't work out. But I think, that was a sign that, exactly what Ashley said, that it got a lot of people's attention, but it also kind of told us ... I mean, there was some things, I know when we started, we probably were a little more liberal with profanity in the paper and things like that, because newspapers like ours that were alternative newspapers at the time, you know, there's a lot of profanity in them and that kind of stuff. But we realized pretty quickly, Mobile doesn't go in for that as much. And it cheapens some of the writing, anyway, and it's really not- Marcus: You should be able to make a point without it. Rob: Yeah. And so, over time, for us, obviously, we have shifted dramatically from being an A&E paper, an arts and entertainment newspaper, to primarily, we think, being the newspaper for Mobile. That's what we think we are. Marcus: You are. There's no other ... who else is there? I mean, there's not really another source. Unless you think to go to AL.com. I mean, there's- Ashley: We did not set out to be that. What they did is we evolved with the media landscape in this town. I thought, when we started, that we would do news, but we would be a more traditional A&E paper. And we slowly, over time, we were like, oh, this market needs investigative journalism. AL.com, I mean, they have a couple reporters here, but their primary focus is Birmingham, and everyone knows that. Marcus: They cover just a few local stories from politics, and that's about it. Rob: But we don't really call ourselves an alternative paper anymore. We are a tabloid size, but we think that's really, honestly, where newspapers will end up going anyway. Most newspapers are gonna be that way. One of the things, when we started the paper, the one thing that Ashley and I looked at and said, where is this web thing going, and where are newspapers going, and what can you do? One thing that we both agreed on is that, you have to make sure that it's locally produced content. Content's gotta be great, and we gotta really produce it locally, because then it can't be reproduced on the web. You can't buy a bunch of stuff people are reading somewhere else, and have any effect. So everything we do, even our horoscopes, are written by the staff psychic. And we have just, everything is local. And we've kept it that way, because it is, we can tell, one of the things you can tell from looking at the web at that time, and even now, is you still have newspapers that can't figure out the fact that all their content, all that syndicated content they had, all those things, people have already read all that. Marcus: Right. Rob: And so you're not, all that world news coverage and things like that they're putting in the newspaper, they don't do as much of it anymore, but it's just filler at this point. Back in the day, it was actually important to have the news from the world in the newspaper, but it's not anymore. People go to the web for that stuff. Marcus: Yeah. Too many sources for it. Rob: Yeah. Marcus: If you were talking to someone that wanted to get started in running their own business, not a newspaper, just a business, what's the one bit of wisdom that you would impart to them? Rob: Find a fantastic partner, if you can. That's great. Ashley: Aw, thank you. Rob: It's true. I mean, I think that's one of the biggest things that we've done that I look around and say ... I mean, we've been in business 16 years, and we get along great, and we very, it's so infrequent that we have any real- Marcus: 16 years to be a partner with somebody. That's almost like a marriage. Rob: Yeah, it is. It is. Marcus: I don't know how you guys have done it. Ashley: It is. I mean, we rarely ... I think we just have such a similar view on where we wanna go with the paper, and just our views on what we should be. But I think, because of that, on the rare times that we disagree, we know each other is serious. It means a lot to me if I'm arguing with this. Rob: I mean, I say that because it is, it's such a load to carry to start a business. And it really is ... I think about, so many times, just how much more tired I would be if I didn't have a great partner I could trust to do things. I think I would've died a long time ago. It's just nice to be able to go out of town and know there's somebody there who is taking care of those things, and cares about it. And that's, you know how it is. It's tough just to be the only one. Marcus: I'm gonna try to not start crying right now. Rob: I think it's tough. Marcus: The rest of the week that I've had, you know, is just like ... Yeah. Rob: But I don't know very many business partnerships that last that long and work very well. Ashley: Yeah. People don't generally ... You know, I'm gonna start stealing something. I mean, I have stolen several ... A couple of diet Cokes over the years. Rob: A couple. Maybe probably about three to four thousand. Ashley: Not that many. Maybe like 20. Rob: It's a lot. Ashley: I usually didn't. Marcus: So what's the wisdom that you would impart? And it can't be find a great partner, 'cause that one's been taken. Ashley: You know, I would just, on a really boring, practical sense, I really thought financing was gonna be a lot easier. Rob: Oh, God. Ashley: I was just stunned after we had been in business for a while, when neither of us have ... A lot of people are like, oh, they have rich relatives just backing this for them. That is not the case, I can assure you. And even after we had a proven track record, it was really difficult to get financing for a while. We finally had to have a bank that would take a chance on us. So I think building those sort of relationships, because especially what we have, and you're probably like this too. We don't have a warehouse full of widgets they can guarantee the land with, or whatever. Marcus: I was always told to go and try and get financing prior to when you need it. And so very early on, the bank that I do most of my stuff with, which I'm not entirely thrilled with them, but they offered me a line of credit. And I was like, you know, I don't need it, but it's gonna cost me $200 a year, and if I ever need it, it's there, and it provides us with some runway if I need it. Now, granted, I've never used it. I think once, I used it just to see like, okay, well, what is this like? But it wasn't because I actually needed the money, I just ... Rob: We've needed it. And what we always found, our problem was, every time we've needed it, we had a tough time getting it. And it did, it ended up being actually one of the big banks that said, yes, we'll give you a line of credit. Versus the small town banks you think are gonna really ... And it really was somebody at the big bank that said, we love your product, and we think it's important for Mobile. And that was huge. And that part is- Ashley: That allowed us to go weekly, quite frankly. We were trying to get financing while we were going weekly. Marcus: I would imagine that's a fairly large expense. Ashley: Oh, it doubled our print bill. It doubled, you know, we had to get more reporters. Marcus: Just out of curiosity, what does it cost to print the paper every week? Rob: I'll tell you this. It's close to $400,000 a year. It's our second biggest expense. Marcus: Damn. Rob: Yeah. I mean, we'd love the web to work out. Ashley: If anyone can figure that out now ... Rob: That magic day when you see me driving down the road in a pink Cadillac, man, you'll know, hey, they figured the web out. It'll be- Marcus: I appreciate your honesty. Because I mean, I'm often times curious, just what does that cost? 'Cause it is. And every place I go downtown, there's a stack of your papers. And I'm just like, that has got to ... We deal with some printing, but not at the level you guys do. Rob: We do 30 thousand a week, now. And then we had this whole issue that president Trump did a tariff on newsprint from Canada earlier this year, and that's caused a massive increase on the print bill for every newspaper in the country. And that tariff was slapped down by the international trade commission, but the prices are still up. You know how it is. Once the price is up, they're not gonna come back down. So that's been tough. So that's a big challenge. And we were fortune. One thing for us is lightning strikes all the time for us. We get lucky a lot of times. Ashley: Yeah, because I don't think that we're great visionaries by any stretch. I think like, oh, God, how have we looked into this? I can't believe this has happened again. Rob: Yeah, there at times, I think. I think the smartest thing we ever did was to stick to, come up with a plan editorially, and stick with our plan to be excellent editorially, and do that the best we can. But Ashley met a guy one time who ended up being a true angel investor, and actually bought a small piece of the company, and gave us a good infusion of money that we needed. So those things over the years have just kind of come along and helped. But it's definitely ... There are lots of times that I look at it and I'm totally surprised that we're still doing this, and that we're still rolling along. Marcus: Nice. Well, are there any books, podcasts, people, or organizations that have been helpful in moving you forward? You've mentioned a couple, but maybe go to the books and organizations side of things. Rob: Trying to think. Marcus: You're writers, so you gotta be reading too, right? Ashley: Well, everyone thinks that. Everyone thinks that if you're writer, that you read a lot. Rob: You don't. Never read anything. Ashley: Yeah, because you don't want the other people in your head. Marcus: True, good point. Ashley: So you know, I would say, as far ... I am a big newspaper reader, I'm not a big book reader, I will say. Marcus: Sure. Ashley: I read the New York Times, Washington Post, Wallstreet Journal. I like to read them all. Gosh, I sound like Sarah Palin. Would she say something like that? I read all of them. Rob: I read all of them. Ashley: I actually do read them. And I think just seeing a good template for what's good journalism has always been ... Marcus: What the high quality of writing can be, yeah. Rob: Yeah, I think that's the main thing for me, as well, is just looking at ... I'm charged up when I see other good writing. I'm sure that we've reinvented the wheel several times, because we haven't gone to a lot of seminars and things like that. Ashley: Definitely should read more books on being a CFO kind of person. Rob: Yeah, and probably, and I'm sure we've wasted hundreds of thousands of dollars doing stupid stuff because we probably should both sit down and read a few articles and know a little bit more about things. Ashley: There's always so much to do, though. When is there time to do that? Rob: There is. And I feel like this, for us, a lot of this is just gut and gut instinct and knowledge of the business. And that's having worked in the business, I mean, I've worked at a couple smaller papers. And being in DC, seeing some things with that, I think it's kind of ... I don't think this is the trickiest business in the world, in terms of managing to produce a good product. Ashley: Well, if we were more money driven, that what destroyed newspapers. It is a business, yes. We have mouths to feed, and tuition bills, and mortgages and all that, like everyone else. But when big hedge fund greats are coming in and buying large newspapers, and they're slashing all of their staff, and that destroys the product. And I think, in a way, probably being a little dumb about ... I mean, not dumb, we're not idiots. Rob: No. Ashley: But not focusing on, oh, what's our Christmas bonus gonna be this year? I think that really probably kept the quality up, too, 'cause we really are in it for the passion. Marcus: Reinvesting back in the business instead of trying to cash out. Rob: I mean, traditionally, when you looked at newspapers, you looked at conglomerate owned newspapers, the profit is over ten percent. Sole ownership papers, you know, locally owned newspapers, usually, they're two or three percent. People put their own money back into the product, and try to keep the quality higher in a lot of cases. And so that's, I mean, I think that's one thing for us, is because we're able to ... I mean, I hope that we just continue to add quality in that regard, and make it a better newspaper from an editorial standpoint. So yes, it would be great to be able to read some things that would tell us how to do things in a better way, but there's so many naysayers at this point about the newspaper industry, there's nothing really to read that isn't, in a lot of ways, that isn't just telling you that you're done, you're cooked, it's over. Marcus: Yeah, it's kind of hard to swallow that stuff. Why would you go out and seek that when it's already something- Ashley: Well, it's for people who don't do it, either. They're like ... Marcus: Easy question. How do you like to unwind? Rob: I play guitar in a band. I enjoy that. Marcus: Really? Rob: Yeah. So that's one of my favorite things to do. I enjoy doing that stuff. And glass of wine every now and then. Marcus: What's the name of the band? Rob: Glass Joe. Marcus: Glass Joe, right. Rob: Remember who Glass Joe is? Marcus: No idea. Rob: Mike Tyson's punch out, the guy you beat up at first? Marcus: Oh, yeah. Rob: Yeah, that was a pretty clever name when we came up with it. Yeah. Been doing that for 20 years, so yeah. Marcus: Very cool. What about you? Ashley: Oh, gosh. You know, I have two little ... A six and a nine year old, so unwinding is not often. But I love to cook. So on the weekends, I'll usually spend half a day cooking stuff. Marcus: Cooking, baking, or ... Ashley: Not baking. I'm not a good baker for some reason, it makes me mad. Marcus: It's too precise, probably. Ashley: I guess. Marcus: I like cooking as well, but I don't like baking, 'cause the precision takes all the fun out of it. Ashley: Yeah, and I'm like, what am I doing wrong here? Why is this not moist? I followed the directions. You know, but ... No, I like doing Indian food one weekend, and then that kind of stuff. Marcus: Nice. Well, tell people where they can find you. Rob: You can find us about 1,500 different locations all over Mobile and Baldwin county. Marcus: Sure. Rob: Any of the regal purple boxes that we have now, and some of the old, hideous pink boxes that are remaining. And of course, online at  is where we live on the web. Marcus: Very good. Well, I wanna thank you again for coming on the podcast. Wrap up any final thoughts or comments you'd like to share. Rob: The only thing I would say is that we do really take seriously what we do, and we think it's important for every city to have a good newspaper. I don't think there's a great city that doesn't have a great newspaper. And so that's our goal. Marcus: I would agree. And that is why I thought you guys were gonna win. In all honesty, I did. I thought you guys were gonna win. Because I think so strongly about what it is that you all do, in spite of what is happening in your industry. So from all the Mobilians to you, I would just say keep it up. Rob: Thank you. Marcus: Because I know it's not easy, and we need a voice like what you all provide to keep the people in power honest. Rob: Oh, it's a dream come true to be able to do this. Ashley: Really. Rob: I mean, it really is for me, as a guy who started out in newspaper. I know Ashley just, coming up with an idea one day and having it be this, 16 years later, is just- Marcus: You're really just riding her coattails, let's be honest. Rob: I have been, absolutely. That's what I mean. When you pick a good partner, you gotta pick somebody who can run ahead of you and do well. Marcus: That's funny. What about you, anything you'd like to add? Ashley: No, I would just echo that. And I would just say, I remember ... Okay, there is one book I remember seeing. Marcus: Oh gosh, she's going back. Ashley: . So there is a book title. I remember picking it up, I didn't read it, but I thought the title was good. And it's true. Getting to write is a gift. There are so many people who call us every day that are like, "I'll do it for free, I just wanna write." And so being able to have a place for that is really a dream come true. Marcus: That's cool. Well, I appreciate your willingness to sit with me and share your journey as business owners and entrepreneurs. It's been great talking to you. Rob: Absolutely. Absolutely. Ashley: Yeah. And congratulations again for beating us. Rob: Yes. Marcus: We're gonna take that snippet and put it in front.
