AI Slop, we're in the world of AI Sloppy Sloppiness. I just got a letter, no offense, NARPM, but I got a letter from y'all You wrote this using ChatGPT.   This is the problem with Narpum 2.0. We're not just talking about the future of our association, We're actively building it. it's not A, it's B, dead giveaway. And there's lots of other dead giveaways. And some of you are starting to hear this AI voice and you're starting to recognize this AI voice. And so we're now in the world of ASLOP where nobody is writing anything.   All right, hello everybody. I'm Jason Hull. This is Sarah Hull, the owners of DoorGrow, the world's leading and most comprehensive coaching and consulting firm for long-term residential property management entrepreneurs. For over a decade and a half, we have brought innovative strategies and optimization to the property management industry. At DoorGrow, we are on a mission to transform property management business owners and their businesses. We want to transform the industry, eliminate the BS, build awareness, change perception, expand the market,   and help the best property management entrepreneurs win. All right, now let's get into the show. All right, so in today's episode, we're gonna be chatting. Just change that right now, because every week I tell you, stop saying a decade and a half. So just go ahead and change it right now. Okay, for, she doesn't like that I say a decade It drives me For 17 years. For over 17 years, yeah. That's how long it's been.   for over years. I'm like decade, decade sounds like a long time, but all right, we're changing it. Cause the life wants to change. 17 years space week. There we go. right. Updated real time. Yeah. Done. That's how we get stuff done. Okay, cool. What are we talking about today, Sarah? talk about how AI is starting to change things. Okay. Let's do it. All right, so.   One of the things we've been talking a lot about is the secondary effects of AI, because everybody's talking about AI. And I think we started in phase one was the AI revolution. Everybody's starting to use chat GPT. Now people are starting to use Clod for business and people are learning prompting. now people starting, some of you are starting to vibe code. And some of you are making videos. Some of you started making images with AI and   Now we live in a world of the next stage I'm calling AI Slop. AI Slop, we're in the world of AI Sloppy Sloppiness. I just got a letter, no offense, NARPOM, but I got a letter from y'all and I can tell you wrote this. You wrote this using ChatGPT. It's like, I mean, the big giveaway phrases and some of you have heard stuff like this. It's like, and we love NARPOM. Thanks for NARPOM for sending us a letter, but.   This is the problem with Narpum 2.0. We're not just talking about the future of our association, M-Dash. We're actively building it. So with blank, it's not A, it's B, dead giveaway. And there's lots of other dead giveaways. And some of you are starting to hear this AI voice and you're starting to recognize this AI voice. And so we're now in the world of ASLOP where nobody is writing anything.   And the people that do write original content, like I've done a couple of Facebook posts just recently, totally handwritten, I wrote the whole thing. And I really enjoy writing. The challenge is, is some people don't recognize how to get their voice into AI. And so anyway, we've got this whole world of AI slop now. Anything can be created by anyone instantly. You can create images, video, text, and so...   You've probably heard me talk about fake internet theory. Have you ever heard of this idea? I have, but just for anyone who hasn't. So the fake internet theory has been around probably since the, you know, once the internet went mainstream. And the fake internet theory is this idea that the majority, at least half in the past, of all the content, all of the traffic that was on the internet, was bots.   It could be like Google crawling sites. It could be a lot of different things, but at least half of all the traffic was bots. Well now with AI, this is even worse. Perplexity is doing research. All these different AI tools are doing research. People are not crawling stuff or crawling websites a lot of times. They're just talking to AI and AI is doing all this. And so the internet now, all the content isn't even, if even this letter probably was not written.   by D.D. Garzone, the Narfim president, 2026. It was probably written by AI, which saved her time. And it's not a bad letter. The challenge is people read this, see this, and we're starting to recognize what's AI and what's not. And we're kind of developing, there's kind of this feel, this voice that you're like, oh, that's AI. And so what am I doing? I just discount stuff. I read and go, oh, AI wrote this. I probably don't even need to read the rest.   So we just skim stuff, we stop reading things. And so this is the challenge is that people want reality, people want humanity. And so the secondary effect, we're in phase two, AI slot, phase three, I believe, is going to be a return to in-person. It's gonna be human interaction. The secondary effect of AI is that human interaction is going to be significantly more important.   And this is where things are going to be shifting to in-person. Things are going to be shifting away from digital marketing. Things are going to be shifting away from anything that you can tell AI to do quickly and easily. And I've always said to our clients, the secret ingredient to scaling your business is depth. The secret to creating a scalable business is to do the unscalable actions. That's depth. And so we're going to talk about today the importance of in-person.   Yeah. So do you guys remember in COVID when everything shut down? Yeah, good And then you couldn't leave your house? Yeah, was great. Yeah, because you might die. So that was great for a little bit, right? Everyone was like, we don't have to go to the office. I don't have to go to work. This is like, would just hang out in my house in my pajamas all day and eat some chips. And like, no, I don't know. It'll be amazing.   And that was a really fun thing. What voice is this? What is this voice? I don't know. Who speaks like this? I'm just letting you know it's not me. I'm gonna be lazy. I'm gonna do my pajamas. Today I got some pajamas on. Are they southern? Now they are. You don't know. They're all over the place. I can't do it in New York. Anyway, so it was a really fun time for like   I don't know, two weeks. The first week was awesome. It was like when you have a substitute teacher and then they put on a movie and you go, this is great. We don't have to do anything today. This is amazing. This is gonna be so cool. And the first week- thought it was awesome. I think for the first, yeah, I think a lot of people really thought it was really great for the first week because they were like, oh, this is great. Like we don't have to go into the office. I a lot of workers, think employers, business owners were freaking out. Yes, exactly. Business owners were-   Although they liked, let's be honest for a second, property managers were real happy about getting a vacation. And it was a vacation that you were forced to take. Right? You couldn't go and do things you normally do. And if you decided to not do showings or decided to not go to the office or decided to, know, like, hey guys, we're all going to work from home. No one was going to fault you. It was going to be totally fine because everybody else was doing it. So it would have been totally fine if you were like, hey, we're not doing.   Showings or hey, you know, we're gonna slow down on inspections or you know, hey, we're you know, we're not gonna come into the office We're all gonna, you know stay from home and then at some point we'll go back to the office for a little bit I think people welcomed that they were like, oh, this is great. This is fun And that maybe lasted a week maybe two maybe even three weeks for some people and then after that they were like what? When can I leave? I what do you mean? Like I'm stuck in my house. I'm I can't   get out, can't go anywhere. When my kids are here, they were all stuck together and no one knows what to do and we're all bored out of our minds and they were starving for human interaction. everything, Zoom, look at the Zoom stock in 2020, skyrocketed because everything moved to remote. Everything moved to Zoom. It was like.   we can't meet in person, but we still kind of have to do things. How do we do it? We are going to do Zoom. And then even remember when a lot of like commercial real estate, it it tanked because people were like, we can't go into the office. We're not buying office space. We're not renting office space. We're going to wait and hold out and see what happens in all this crazy COVID stuff. Right. And it's because all of us were just stuck in our houses. So everything became virtual.   Everything became remote. Even the things that are normally done in person, a lot of them started to shift so that it was no longer in person or the full thing wasn't in person. There was just the one quick little piece that was in person and everything else was done virtually. did we? Okay, I didn't know if you had the podcast. And then   At that point, people were starving for human interaction because it's not the same being on a screen. Looking at a face on the screen and hearing voices on a screen or on a phone call or through Zoom or Teams or whatever it was or emailing and texting and phone calls, it's just not the same. So people then started to go a little bit stir crazy.   And what happened, like as soon as things opened up, then what happened? Things started to surge again. People were desperately trying to connect with other people in person. They were going to their friends' houses. They were trying to meet up with their friends. They were trying to go on vacation. Travel started to boom again. Why? Because people, we are meant to be with other people.   Humans are not solitary animals. We're just not. So AI is going to end up creating something that I think is quite similar. We're going to rely on AI so much just because we have to. And it's an amazing tool. It's incredible. And it makes things a lot faster. And we can do things that were not possible before. And we can do years or months of research in minutes or hours.   the advancements that it allows us to make and in such a short time span are remarkable. But the other thing that it does is it reduces the human to human communication. And now even has anyone ever picked up the phone and called a company and you don't talk to a human now? Now you talk to the AI agent. Yeah. Right. And that seems really great.   because you go, okay, it helps me and I answered my questions and that's lovely. But can you imagine now that most of your interactions are going to be with AI? Most interactions will not be with other humans. Most of a human's interactions will be with a bot or AI. Even if it sounds like a human, it will be AI. And that kind of effect is go, I think it's.   we're going to see largely what we saw in COVID all over again, where people want to see and interact with and talk to and hang out with people. Yeah. And I think that's going to be incredibly valuable. Yeah. I think as humans, when we shift into a mode of isolation where we're no longer interacting with other people,   and you're spending the majority of your day talking to Claude and chat GPT and building things and you probably feel a lot of dopamine. You're like, look at all the stuff I'm getting done. But you're just contributing to the problem of AI slop. If you can make it easily, so can anybody else. And so it's not just about creating more stuff with AI. That isn't really a competitive advantage. Everybody can do that. The competitive advantage really is being in person.   It's those that the wealthy will be able to afford to slow down. The wealthy and the smart will be able to afford to be able to go slow, not faster. They'll be able to spend more time with people. They'll be able to spend more time with their family. They'll be able to spend more time going deeper into building real relationships.   These relationships you have with your AI agents aren't real relationships and they're not going to create the connection that humans need. And they're not going to create the connection and the feelings that your clients need. Clients don't just need their stuff done. That's not it. They need human connection. They need trust and they need to feel safe. So alienation is going to lead to isolation.   And isolation will lead to stagnation in your business because you're not around people that are actually making moves and figuring out how to connect and make a big difference. And the thing that we've noticed, because we've been in a lot of different programs, I mean, we've been in lots of different mass, high ticket masterminds, coaching programs. spend a lot of money every year.   That's a bright thing. Yeah, we've been in all the best programs out there. We probably have been in them or connected to them or whatever. And so we've been in a lot of different programs. We invest a lot. And the thing I've noticed is we've been in a lot of these programs, but the real benefit of the programs, most significant benefit is the caliber of the people physically in the room.   It's the people that we get to meet. It's not the guru at the helm. It's not their cool content or ideas. Everybody joins for the content, but it's really, it's the people, it's the connections. It's the community that's curated. And that's one of the things that we're really shifting our awareness and focus around. I've realized that transformation always happens in the room. It doesn't happen over Zoom. Wow, that rhymes. You can all quote me on that. That's a Jason Hall written all over.   Transformation happens in the room, not on Zoom. And Zoom calls the other thing related to fake internet theory. You can ask AI about this, people. AI people, go check me on this. There's a psychological effect that watching being on Zoom calls on video and watching video training material inside of even our DoorGro Academy does not, your brain does not perceive this as real life. It perceives it as   This digital universe, it's fake. And so we've noticed our clients aren't able to just watch a video and implement or absorb it mentally the same way. And once they get in person with us and they recognize we're real people and we give them a high five or a hug or whatever, and they come to our onboarding, because we onboard every Mastermind client in person now. We also have quarterly events that we're launching.   for about two years. We've been doing that for a long time. saw the writing on Huge game changer. And we decided, hey, let's go, we can go much deeper in person. Totally. Than we can ever get to on Zoom or on a phone call. So we decided that should be one of the first things that we do with people is really get them in momentum quickly. And what's the fastest way that we can do that? We can get them in person. Yeah, cause on Zoom, it's very easy for you to look like you're cool.   It's very easy for you to look like everything's put together. Slashy lights, like YouTubers, and you can get some books and stuff in the background. You're making fun of me now? Have a pretty background. I see what's going on. You can have a boring office without cool lights. We can both play this game. Okay. So what I'm saying is...   When you're on a Zoom call with a group of your peers and business owners and people maybe you look up to, it's very easy to not give people your real situation and not reveal what's really going on. That's hard to avoid doing in person, especially if you're called out or your mentor's calling you out. That's difficult. And so you need to be in the room because you have to get real feedback. You have to share your real challenges. You need to recognize they're real people. Your brain and unconscious mind and your subconscious need   to recognize these ideas that you maybe saw in video or see on Zoom or the people you see on Zoom are real. And there's something that clicks and shifts when we get our clients in person. All of their results shift. They make more money. They have breakthroughs. And your breakthroughs are on the other side of embarrassment. One of my mentors would share. And one of our mentors would share. And that's, you have to be willing to get real.   And real and raw happens in person. It's just not going to be the same on a Zoom call or on video or even digital marketing. We're looking at how we can do less of that ourselves and do more stuff that actually creates real connection and relationship with people. Because I think anybody can do anything digitally now Let me go take some property managers out to lunch.   That's what we need to do. We need to meet people face to face and in person. do door to door. Yeah. I know. I think there's going to be a secondary effect that we're going to see a lot of things shifting back to humans. We've spent so much time over the last decade sitting in front of computer, like so many people. And I think if AI does anything well for us, it will be that it gets us out from behind the computer and actually hanging out with   human beings again. And that should be the goal. And the people that are smart are going to be focused on that. And that's why our DoorGrow Mastermind, we've shifted the priority and the focus to being an in-person mastermind. And we've seen people have great success with this, our mentors like Aaron Stokes and others have great success with this. And that's what we're wanting to replicate and emulate.   And we want people to have real relationships. We want people to have a family, a cohort of property management business owners that feel connected and are doing cool stuff. And that way you can cut through all the AI slot because everything AI puts out sounds like it's great and amazing. Every landing page looks like, yeah, this sounds like it could be awesome. And so it's hard to know if anything is real at all.   and a lot of stuff on the internet is not even real anymore. A lot of the products you see aren't even like actually real or decent products. They've just got great AI marketing and you can go buy the product for like a third of the cost on Ali Express or Alibaba or whatever. Or you can go on Amazon. Some of these products I'm seeing on Instagram, you can go buy for like $50 cheaper on these small products on Amazon. And so it like, yeah. And AI can create courses too.   Anyone can get on any AI thing and go, hey, I have this idea and have this thought and I want to create a course and then sell this course online. Build me the whole course, build me the material, me the script. everything. You can even have AI. If you don't want to do the video for the course, you don't have to. I can just do it. You can summarize it. You can do that in minutes now.   What value is there in that? The challenge is, is that there's no way to know what really works. Right. Because AI is just making stuff up based on what it has in its knowledge base. We have a lot of awesome stuff that's behind our payroll. hitting the table because every time you do, it's a whole time shakes. Yes, dear. Okay. This is going to be, if someone's watching this podcast live, I'm so sorry if you're like ceasing. It's like bouncing a little bit.   It shakes. That's me. I'm moving around so much. Many earthquakes. Seizures. Got it. No taking. Okay. Well that's how you know it's not AI, right? You're shaking the table. AI's not going to say that to me. No, AI would Claude, how do I respond to my wife? All right. Awesome. All right. yeah, so this is the idea is   We want to shift towards reality and in person because if I'm talking with a property management business owner and they say, this is what I've done and it's actually working, whereas AI will just hallucinate, it'll make stuff up, it will lie and just make everything sound amazing because somebody could say, just make this sound like it's amazing and it works and it's awesome. And it might not be. And so how do you know it's real anymore? You're going to need to be around real humans that can say, I did this.   I tried this thing. I used this AI prompt and here is the result. It wasn't great. Or this worked. And more importantly, that's a bad idea because AI doesn't want to tell you if it's a bad idea. AI is so affirming. It goes, that's such a great idea. Yeah, you should definitely do that. Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa. Are you sure? Is that going to work? Yeah, you're on the right track. Yeah, you've got this dialed in so well. And then   You could also do this and no, no, no. You're not coming up with a new idea. You're a game changer. You're not just cool. You're awesome. right. So yeah, know AI is really bad at telling people bad news. Well, I know there's people listening and they're like, well, I use this and I have this problem. I get it. Like, but yeah, chat GPT. It's But you have to you feel amazing. You have to give a prompt.   in order to make it be more honest with you, in order to make it not just affirm everything that you say. So when we think about what is the programming of it, therefore then what is the validity of it? So we have to kind of reprogram it just in order to get better output from it and better data from it. That doesn't mean it's the best data. What is great data is here's a real person. They've been there, done that.   I'm going to trust that over what AI tells me any day of the week. Yeah. And people trust AI. Like, I use AI to do research on things because I'm like, this product claim real? Is this landing page on the level? And sometimes it's like, yes. And sometimes it's like, no, this is overinflated. This study they're citing is like, misreference, whatever. There's so much BS. So now we have to use AI to combat AI to figure out what's real. But this is going to be one of the secondary effects is we need to be   connecting with human beings and we need to be in the room with real people and in person. And that's what AI should enable us to do it. It should enable more humanity. It should enable more connection, not disconnect us. okay, anything else that we want to say about this? So if you're looking for something that is a real human, and if you're looking for human connection, then we've got...   Events coming up in October. I know that by the time this will be released, you'll miss the May event. But we do have live in-person events coming up in October that you would be able to attend. They will be in the North Austin, Texas area. And one of them will be our fall intensive. This will be for our clients. If you're not yet our client, then you still have some time to figure out, you know, hey, let's just jump in and try it out.   The other one is our DorgR Live event. And we've decided in this whole AI spirit, let's get people moving through things quickly. And instead of just sitting at another conference, because there's so many of those in property management, where you just sit at a conference and you go home with 38 pages of notes and all of these ideas that you would love to do, and maybe you're going to do one of two of them, and that's about it. And then in reality,   there's all of this other good stuff and you never really got to it. But had you implemented it, it might have changed the business. So we've decided to instead shift. So it's not a conference where you're going to be sitting there in the room, taking notes and learning, which is very valuable. That's still a valuable thing. We're just making it more valuable. So we're going to have some workshops built right into it so that you can go there.   do the work, take action, and you can move your business forward. And the way that we're structuring things is it will allow you to get 30 or more days of work done in the two days at the event. And it's in person with real humans. Yeah. So I'll read a little quote from our offer document for our growth accelerator mastermind. And it says, the room where property managers stop playing small.   Most property managers are stuck trying to grow from behind a screen. Watching webinars, sitting on Zoom calls, collecting PDS they'll never read and wondering why nothing changes. And nothing changes because your environment hasn't changed. You've got to get into a different environment. Environment changes the identity. Even fish will grow to the size of the container that they're in. You need a different container if you want to grow energetically, spiritually, mentally.   I don't know, maybe physically. All right, so the DoorGrowth Growth Accelerator Mastermind, our super system level of the mastermind, which is supposed to focus more on operations for higher level operators or business owners. This is not just a course. It's not an online program. I'll be AI. It's not A, it's B. It's like, this is what actually really works. This gets you real results. And so, yeah, so come.   is come be in a seat with us in Austin. Come hang out with us. Come hang out with us. We curate and attract like the most amazing entrepreneurs. We have a new team member named Kyle who's over Client Success. And Kyle, we were just chatting the other day, him and I, and he was like, I was talking about, have really awesome clients. He's like, I know, it's so amazing the type of people you attract. Like we attract, I believe, the best people in the industry. The best humans in property management are in DoorGrowth's mastermind.   and are working with DoorGrow. And a lot of the coaches, a lot of the people out there, they're past clients of mine. Like, DoorGrow's had a significant impact. And I'm obviously a bit biased, but I believe we have the best stuff in the industry to bring to the table. And we have the most comprehensive program. We help with growth. We help with ops. Nobody else has rebranded over 300 companies. Nobody else has built, well, maybe someone's built as many websites as us, but we built hundreds, probably six, seven, 100, 800 websites.   helped people clean up their pricing. We've rolled out innovative three-tier hybrid pricing models. We're helping clients dramatically increase their profit margins. If you feel like you've heard it all and you've worked with all the other coaches, you may want to take look at DoorGrow because we have the most comprehensive. There's lots of coaches that do one little thing here or there. And there's some really great ones out there. But as far as having the most comprehensive program and I think the most innovative ideas and strategies, that's the only way you can curate and   have that is through some sort of mastermind environment and that's what we've created at DoorGrow. Okay so there's tapping me on the leg saying stop selling like let's wrap this up. Is that accurate? I interpreting things correctly? Okay. You got it. All right. And there's salespeople are gonna sell I just say I want you to win and I don't hate money so and I want you to not hate money and I want to help you make more money. All right cool. Anything else?

Send us Fan MailBreast implant sizing is one of the most important conversations in any breast augmentation consultation, but bigger is not always better.In this episode of The Trillium Show, Dr. Jason Hall is joined by Dr. Jessica Walker to talk about how they help patients choose the right implant size based on goals, anatomy, measurements, frame, tissue quality, and long-term outcomes. They discuss why cup size and implant volume alone can be misleading, why goal photos can be helpful, and what patients should understand before choosing a larger implant.They also explain what can happen when implants are too large for a patient's body, including stretched skin, thinning breast tissue, neck and back pain, more complicated revision surgery, and why using a bigger implant to avoid a lift is usually not the right answer.If you are considering breast augmentation, this conversation will help you think beyond the number of cc's and focus on what is safe, proportional, and sustainable for your body long-term. 

Your Man, Monk with Monk Coleman – Jason shares how his life began to change when he started looking inward.

Most buyers push for a lower price because it feels like the smart move. The interest rate buydown vs price reduction math will change how you negotiate forever.That $10,000 you fought to get off the price? It saves you about $40 a month. That same $10,000 used as a seller credit to buy down your rate saves you closer to $250 a month. Nobody is running these numbers at the table, and that is exactly why most buyers leave money on the table every single time.In this episode I sit down with Jason Hall from Hallmark Financial and we break down exactly how to structure a deal so you actually win.✅ Price reduction vs rate buydown, we run the real numbers side by side so you can see the difference clearly✅ Permanent buydown vs price reduction, when one wins over the other and why the answer is not always the same✅ The seller concessions vs lower price question answered with actual monthly payment comparisons, not opinions✅ How to use seller credits to buy down rate and what the limits are, Conventional is capped at 3%, FHA at 6%, VA at 5%, the FHA seller concessions limit alone changes what you can negotiate depending on your loan type✅ The difference between a 2-1 buydown vs permanent buydown and when a temporary buydown actually makes more sense✅ How to negotiate a lower mortgage payment using deal structure instead of just hammering on price✅ Why your time frame is one of the most overlooked factors in mortgage rate buydown decisions, and how to factor it in correctlyThis is the conversation your lender and agent should be having with you before you ever make an offer. Now you have the framework to demand it.

Resources DoorGrow and Scale Mastermind DoorGrow Academy DoorGrow on YouTube DoorGrowClub DoorGrowLive Transcript Jason Hull (00:02) Hello everybody, I'm Jason Hall. This is Sarah Hall, the founder and CEO and the COO of DoorGrow, the world's leading and most comprehensive coaching and consulting firm for long-term residential property management entrepreneurs. For over a decade and a half, we have brought innovative strategies and optimization to the property management industry. At DoorGrow, we have spoken to thousands of property management business owners, coached, consulted, and cleaned up hundreds of businesses, helping them add doors, improve pricing, increase profits, simplify operations, and we run the leading property management mastermind in the industry with more video testimonials and reviews than any other coach or consultant in the industry. So let's get into the show. All right. So we got some news this past what week from my daughter. I need to get rid of that. OK. We got some news this past week from my daughter, Maddie, that she is leaving. DoorGrow, she got another job offer. And so my oldest daughter has been working for DoorGrow for five years now. Which is wild. And so I remember she called me up from college and she couldn't find a job there. And she later told me the last thing she wanted was to ask me for a job or to work for me at the time. I guess she was just humbled enough that she had to come to me and ask for a job because she's like nobody was hiring around her campus because it was just a college town. Everybody had taken all the jobs and so she asked if she could do some work for me and ⁓ she started doing some graphic design stuff and she was working on her marketing degree and ⁓ she ended up working for us and she's handled all sorts of things. My social media, DoorGrowth social media. graphic design stuff, video editing, podcast editing, ⁓ lots of stuff. Client support. And then we moved her into client success. And so then she was managing client success on our team, helping to retain clients and make sure they're supported. that's, yeah, so she's had quite the journey of growth here at DoorGrow. And she was really nervous to tell us that she was leaving. She was like very concerned about this. And I told her, it's okay, I just want you to be happy. So excited to see her move on to the next thing that she's gonna do. This is like her first job outside of DoorGrow, as far as I know. And so I'm excited for her. ⁓ So we were just thinking like, what are some lessons that we are getting from this experience? And ⁓ yeah, so we thought we'd talk about a few of those things. The first thing is that moment where you go, I'm losing a team member. And you're kind of torn and you're stuck in between, I'm so happy for them and I want this great opportunity for them and I want what's best for them. And also, man, I didn't want to lose them. That happens a lot. And I would say to anyone out there that has experienced something like that, we had a client. Jay Shaw that had an amazing person in his business and this person got their dream job opportunity and came to him and said, hey, I don't know what to do with this. And he did exactly what we said. You have to take it. If you want to take it, want you to take it. I want you to do what you think you need to do and what's going to make you happy and what's going to give you opportunity to learn and grow and challenge yourself and experience different things. Right. So I think that's the first thing about being a leader is not only wanting what's best for you and the business, but truly wanting what's best for your team. Yeah. So that's what, you know, she's my daughter. So of course I want whatever's best for her. Um, one of the things that I realized, one of the things that I've always been particularly good at is identifying personalities. One of the things we wanted to recommend to all of you is that it's really important to understand your team members and their personality. Meaning, like getting to really know what their natural inclination is towards, not what they're skilled at, not what they're already trained at, but where would they naturally gravitate towards if they had had other opportunities. so Maddie's personality type, she's extroverted. naturally. I saw this in her growing up. ⁓ She's very much a feeler. She's ⁓ organized and ⁓ so yeah, so was very clear. Ladybug okay good. I think I on your foot So totally live. All right. So, ⁓ yeah. So what was I talking about? You were talking about ladybug finding, finding the right personality. ⁓ right. Okay. So Maddie and Myers-Briggs would be probably an ENFJ, right? ⁓ they're great at community. They're great at connecting with others. And she was going to school and eventually graduated while working at Door Girl. for like graphic design, marketing related stuff, advertising, and she thought, I'm gonna be a graphic designer. Well, I was like, Maddie, are, like, this is, you're naturally great with people. I'm thinking you should move into client success. We had a team member leave. She started taking over client success and doing the social media and graphic design stuff and things like that and podcast editing. And then, We knew we were gonna scale and so we said, and she knew and she said, well, if I have to pick one role or the other, I think I'll pick client success. And so it's awesome to be able to have that as a father, I think it's super important to understand your kids and to not try to push them into being what you are if you're an entrepreneur, not trying to push them into a certain job or career path in school, but to. move them towards what their natural personality would be inclined to succeed and win at that they would love to do. And so that's what I've done as much as I can with all of my kids. so Maddie, I thought, let's move her into client success for sure. And when we put her into that, eventually she chose that. She really recognized that she had a skill at that and she was really, really great at it. And that allowed her to grow and develop new skills besides just graphic design. ⁓ But yeah, she's learned a lot of different skills at DoorGro. She didn't know how to do video editing. She was very much into graphics and then she started editing our videos for us and figuring it out. And so over the years, she's just developed a whole bunch of skills. She's invaluable, super smart, learns lots of stuff. The other, I think, important lesson that is important, you talked about team members, when they leave and how you freak out. Well, we're not really freaking out. And why? Why are we not freaking out? we're sad to see her go. Sad, happy, bittersweet. A little bit of bittersweet feeling there. we're prepared for any and all of our team members at all times just in case anything happens. And that's one of the things is if they do decide to, for whatever reason, exit their role at your company. we have all of our processes already documented for each of our team members. So now that she's stepping out of that role, it's not like we're back here scrambling going, we have to hurry up and figure out how she's doing things and have her write it down and have her train somebody else and get everything out of her head. All of that already exists, which means that when we hire someone to step into that role, it will be infinitely easier for them because everything that Maddie is doing is already documented. What she does and the steps and the systems and the tools that she uses and how she's doing each thing, it's documented in our system. So that in case a team member or sometimes you have several leave at a time, didn't you have a guy that won the lottery and his whole team left? Somebody called me once. So they lost their whole team because they had an office betting pool with the lottery and they won and everybody quit their jobs. So now you have no team. Yeah. So yeah, very suddenly not likely to happen too often, but no, it is nice. as a, as an entrepreneur, as a founder, as a CEO, having processes documented, which we've had for years and years at door grow.   has always given me a sense of security. There's always a sense of anxiety if you don't have those documented that somebody could leave or somebody could be out or get pregnant or be injured or whatever. And move away. Yeah. Take care of a sick family member. Right. Things happen. Life happens. Humans are humans. And so the challenge is if you don't have these things documented and you want them fresh, you want them being used, you want them documented by the people that are actually using them. so Maddie's leaving, so she went and reviewed the processes. Most everything is documented. There were some, she was like, I think we're missing this thing that I've recently started doing, or this little thing needs to be updated a bit. And so she's making some final tweaks to update the processes. But it's every team member's job to keep updated and maintain their processes. So this is why it's very important to have a process system. that is intuitive and easy enough for everybody on the team to use it. And this is why we use what used to be called DoorGrow Flow. We use Flusos and ⁓ F-L-U-S-S-O-S. And it's kind of that in between, it's like flowchart software. It's visual, it's super intuitive and easy. Our team can drag and drop things and build out the process and then they can actually use that process and run it and like work through the workflow. And so it's kind of like a mashup between Lucidchart, Revisio, and Process Street, or Asana, or any sort of checklist system. And checklist systems are not enough. They're just not sufficient enough. They're not clear enough. And ⁓ they're too linear. And there's issues with those. And so we found that this is a superior upgrade from what we used before, which was like Process Street. So having that system that Sarah, who doesn't like tech very much, will go in there and loves using it and updating processes. Maddie can go in and update her own. Giselle and her team can go and tweak or change her process. anybody on the team, and I actually don't even log into it. I don't have to use it, which is the first process system. And we've had several that we've ever used where I don't have to live in it. I don't have to work in it. We've set it up so that if anything needs to be assigned to me, it goes to a role called Jason's assistant. And then the assistant comes to me and says, hey Jason, we need you to do this thing. And so I was able to get myself out from not just having to manage and control and make every process and get really nerdy and build logic and things to hide and show and to the point where I didn't even understand it a year later and then would have to, if it broke, I had to get into it and fix it or weird connections to Zapier and stuff like this. Yeah, it just makes it so much more intuitive.   drag and drop and that's been a game changer. So that's something else we realized through this process. It's like we're not really freaking out or concerned. You know, just a little sad Matty. So, all right. So ⁓ anything else? Well, speaking of things that are game changers, let's hear from our sponsor. ⁓ yeah. So today's sponsor is cover pest.   Cover Pest is the easy and seamless way to add on-demand pest control to your resident benefits package. Residents love the simplicity of submitting a service request and how affordable it is compared to traditional pest control options. Investors love knowing that their property is kept pest free. And property managers love getting their time back and making more revenue per door. Simply put, Cover Pest is the easiest way to handle pest control issues at all your properties.   To learn more and to get special DoorGro pricing, visit coverpest.com slash door grow. All right. So that's our sponsor. right. So other lessons or things that we're realizing. ⁓ One, another reason we don't have a bunch of anxiety is that if we ever need to replace a team member, we have an amazing hiring system. This is one of our proprietary pieces of IP that's been a game changer for ourselves.   and has allowed us to be able to take care of all of our clients and help them replace entire teams if necessary, help them get that key team member they need that's going to be the game changer to get them to the next level. And that's DoorGrow Hiring and our DoorGrow applicant tracking system. And so this has been a significant tool that we've used for lots of clients and for ourselves to build out our team. And so we confidently know, like we've got a system that's going to get us somebody that is a   good culture fit for us that shares our values, which means they won't steal from you. It means there'll be a personality fit for the role because we understand and have engineered the job descriptions for ourselves and for all of our clients so that it attracts or creates interest in the person that is the right personality fit for that particular role. And then skill fit. We have assessments and tools to figure out are they going to be able to   develop the skill or do they already have the skill so that we can make sure that we're getting the ultimate hire because one bad hire is easily a 10 grand minimum mistake and probably three months of your time wasted. So being shot in the foot trying to train them and then they leave or you have to fire them, right? So we're really good at BDMs, which is a big need of our clients. We're really good at operators, which is a big need for our clients.   so they can get out of the day-to-day operational control of the business and make sure the business is moving forward and build out what we call our super system, people planning a process. So these are some key things that make it not so big of a deal if we lose a team member. We're confident we can get them replaced pretty quickly. We can get them up to speed quickly because of our process and we're going to make a good hire. So, and we're able to get that system built out into our clients' businesses as well, which is   A game changer, if you listen to us and you start adding a whole bunch of doors, then that can cause a lot of constraints and issues in your business to come to the forefront. And if you have our super system hiring the process, planning all built in, planning is DoorGrow OS. If you have all these things built in, then your business becomes infinitely scalable and you're not going to get stuck. You can just continually keep growing and adding doors. So cool. ⁓   Any other lessons or things about Maddie? We could, I would say so many good things about Maddie. So I think one of the things too that it just kind of shows when you put the right person in the right role, the results that you get because clients always tell us, Maddie is so great. Maddie is so great. Wow, Maddie is so great at what she does. Wow, I just love Maddie. Yeah. So.   that tells us, we already know, but it tells us, hey, this was such a good fit for her. She truly enjoys this. She is great at helping people and she's thriving in a role like that. And I know that she will do great at anything that she decides to do. And I think that's one of the things that was so great is kind of watching that growth and development because when she came on,   in the very beginning, was part-time. She was going to school, so she was part-time, and she was dabbling in just little tiny pieces. And then she would do a little bit more, and the hours would increase, and she would take on a few more things, and hours would increase, and then she would take on a few more things. And her role truly developed, and that allowed her growth and development as well, which a lot of times, that's something that great team members are really looking for.   Yeah, in the beginning she was like, how do I get out of this job probably? then she was I think she told you, I only want to work with you for what, a year or something? Yeah, yeah. And then I think she kind of realized, hey, there's good culture, there's good environment here. And then eventually she was like, hey, I'm graduating school, I think I really want to work with you guys full time.   And so that was really nice. yeah. And I'm sure it's not easy working for your dad sometimes. don't know. So, ⁓ but yeah, it's been awesome having her. And it's been, I'm really going to miss being able to just tell everybody all the time. Cause I get to tell every potential client I talk to during the sales process, if I'm involved, I get to like brag on my daughter, my oldest daughter works for me and she's our head of client success. And I get to just be so proud of her. So.   Now I just get to talk and brag about my wife, ⁓ which I always do that as well. So you can't leave too. I gotta be able to brag about somebody. So, all right. I'll stay just so you Just because of that? Okay, all right, good. yeah. But Maddie's amazing, so whoever gets her, who knows, maybe she'll be back. I don't know, Maddie. I don't know, maybe. Maybe she'll be like, hey, know, other companies are just not as amazing as DoorGro. And I didn't realize how terrible most are out there.   and then maybe she'll be back, who knows? You know what will be very interesting is seeing a team member that we have get transferred into a different business just to see how things run because a lot of times that's something that people value a lot more than they even realize that they value is, hey, I really enjoy the support that I get here.   I really enjoy the culture that we have here and the type of environment that we have here. And I really enjoy how structured things are. even if it's your dream job, if the company just doesn't have things together and you step into a role and all of a sudden you go, wow, everything is on fire here. This is awful. It's sometimes very eye-opening to be able to hop into even something that you think   might be perfect. And I think that's one of the things that allows us to keep great people for a long time is really the structure that we provide and the way that we run our company. I would say that that is something that will be interesting to see. I'd like to do a little post interview with her and see how... She'll be like, it's been the best thing ever to not work   Because you know what ours is, right? So how is their onboarding process? How is their training process? How is their assimilation process? What is all of that like?
