[00:00:00] The lot behind it. What it is makes it worth a million dollars to you as a human being, if that makes sense. So as you listen to these things, one of the, the things that I don't know if they're gonna spill the tee on is it, it's more about thinking about the human being than. How expensive the gift is.
And sometimes, you know, it is a little more money. I'm not gonna say it's not, but really thinking about like that Starbucks coffee deal, I, I mean, a hundred bucks. Yeah. But at the end of the day, it was because I had listened to him so many times. I knew that he loved coffee. That's what I was buying.

They say shaking hands and, and getting to know people, looking 'em in the eye.
Now with this new virtual world that has opened up since March of 2020, and combining those two worlds, That's obviously what I've been on this journey, uh, since March of 2020, and connecting with amazing people like Bart Miller, who's a part of the Inner Circle with Russell Brunson. So, sit back, relax, enjoy, learn about this new world that's [00:02:00] combined with the old world and how you can connect and, and, and get next to, and work with the people that you know are gonna be able to help you accomplish whatever it is you are looking to accomplish in your life and business.
So, thanks again for Swinging by the Miracle Plan Podcast and, uh, have a. Here's Bart,
the billion dollar cowboy, the, the, the networker of networkers. This guy is an absolute legend. He, he, he's known in front of the scenes. He's done more things than any one human I think could ever have. I consider myself a rabbit hole. This guy is the rabbit hole of rabbit hole, and what I mean by a rabbit hole is that you.
When you go down a hole, you go all the way down to China, as we used to say when we were kids. And I mean, this guy, he has been a professional, uh, he's in the rodeo and roping. He's also done cycling. He's, uh, he's won, uh, championship body building and working out. He's just, I mean, he, he, [00:03:00] you know, he's just amazing and he's helped and he's, he's a coach.
He's helped, you know, countless of other people, uh, explode and have great business. He's got an amazing, um, you know, course that he is doing right now and he's got a mastermind. So we are just absolutely so excited to have, uh, you know, Bart join us here. We're gonna get him on here in a second once we get the, the, the good old technology fired up.
But I'm just so excited to have him here. He, he has been a mentor to me. He has actually already made a an a. You know, a potentially a billion dollar connection with me. Uh, a guy that truly is doing billions, and him and I got connected and, and it's all because of this guy Bart. So I'm just so excited to, uh, to hopefully bring up, uh, Mr.
Bart Miller here. So go ahead and get your, uh, your, uh, your screen going there. Bart, did you have anything else to add to Christopher? Why we bring him up? Oh, there we go. Perfect timing. Look at that. Hey, there he is. There's the man. The myth left. What's up you guys? Mark Miller, what's going on? Billion dollar Cowboy.
Living the dream man. Just excited to be here and, uh, talk [00:04:00] about some networking, right? That's what life's all about, is blessed each other's lives. Absolutely brother. And we were talking about how, you know, you've, you've, you're a coach and you help other people and, and, and I'm in your world and and now you're in my world.
Yeah. And you were able to, you know, make a, a, a, we were talking about bringing on super connectors. Yeah. You're a super connector. You've got a network. You've dug your well for how many years? 10, 20, 25 years. I, a whole life. . Yes. And, and, uh, another natural board salesman there in part, and he has an amazing, uh, network.
And like I was. Bart is the rabbit hole of rabbit hole. So he rabbit holes on cycling. He rabbit holes on, uh, weightlifting. He rabbit holes on rodeo and, and and roping. He rabbit holes on marketing. He rabbit holes on e-commerce. Right now he's rabbiting holes on pickleball and so every community that he rabbit holes, he goes all the way to the top.
He gets the very best of the mentors. He doesn't mess around. He becomes a world champion. And so this guy is like truly a super, super connector in so many different fields. [00:05:00] He is the definition of a Renaissance man who does it all, knows it all, knows everybody, and everybody knows Bart. So the billion dollar cowboys here to share some of his secrets, some of his stories.
We're gonna spill a little bit of tea and talk some talk, uh, talk shop a little bit about how powerful relationships are, connections are, and what they've meant to your business. And, uh, we're just so happy to have you here. We only got you here for another 28 minutes, so I'm gonna shut up and then talk.
Brother, how are you? Let's roll, man. I tell you what, I can't, uh, I'll have you. Justin is my pitch man. Any day sets me up. So well, I mean, he makes me feel good about myself. I wonder if it's still me, , but, uh, no, uh, networking really is the most powerful thing I've ever done in my career. And they say your net worth equals your network, you know, and I think there's a lot of truth in that.
So, uh, a couple things. I don't know exactly where I want to go here, but a couple things. I'll just give you some stories of a couple people you may know. Uh, so one. I, uh, well in life there was two things as a young kid I wanted to be, one was a professional calf [00:06:00] roper number two was Michael Jordan, and neither one of those really worked out for me very well.
So, uh, long story short, I always have watched and followed a lot of the rodeo cowboys because, oh my goodness, my dog. Hold on five seconds. Sleep under control. Yes, love dogs. I've got two labs and now it's the New World. It's March of 2020 kids and, and labs. That way, you know, it's real, you know what I mean?
All right, so I'm back boys on the other side of this wall playing video games and I'm mutant saying, quiet down over there, . Ah, man. I'm telling you. Dog loves his new toys. Mama got him. So anyway, uh, I was on, I, I watched these guys and I watch their careers and one day a guy named Tyson Durphy made a post.
How he was gonna build a school and what he was gonna do. In my background, I've built a lot of schools in my career and so I just reached out to him and said, Hey, whatever you do, make sure you take these precautions and if you need any help, just reach out. It's all I said, it was just a [00:07:00] simple post. Now at this point in time, Tyson, I think has a hundred thousand followers on Instagram, so I'm like the likeliness of emc and he probably asked somebody to run any social media, whatever.
It doesn't matter. All of a sudden I got a phone call about an hour later and it was a, a number outta Texas and I don't usually answer. So I just let it go to voicemail and then he sent me a text and he is like, Hey, this is Tyson Derphy. I'd love to chat with you for a second. I was, I'll take that call.
So I called him back and I said, Hey, this is, you know, how can I help you? So he asked me all these cool questions and uh, so from that I was able to become really good friends with Tyson, help him build his first online school, and then obviously kept going and was able to have not, I didn't, I didn't obviously get him on the stage at Funnel Hacking Live, but he was on the stage at Funnel Hacking Live.
And uh, you know, he is had a great, great experience to. To help from the beginning of that all the way through and, and now have him as one of my best friends. Absolutely. Awesome. So, um, you know, that's a cool experience from just one little social media thing giving [00:08:00] to somebody else at a level that did I have to No, but did I want to?
Of course. Was it a great relationship that I really wanted to have? Yes. So, you know, that helped me there. And then in that same world, there's a guy named Trevor Brazil, and I just dressed him for the N F R for the first time last year. And, . There was another guy that I connected to, did a few favors for him, and in one day in, by in passing, he goes, Hey, I'd really like to take you to this major event.
And by the way, Trevor Brazil's probably gonna be there and I'm friends with him. And I was like, for real? Like that sounds cool. So anyway, through that connection, he took me there. We did a bunch of stuff. I met Trevor and that built that relat. So that was really cool. And now, you know, I gotta dress him when I'm, I I've been able to rope at his house, which is to, to, to a lot of you, that means nothing unless you're in the world, the world of rodeo.
And, uh, you know, Trevor Brazil's the most decorated cowboy in history, so absolutely amazing. These two, well, let's talk about dressing real quick. I didn't even get, [00:09:00] get to fit that in, in the rabbit holes. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I mean, I know that that's what you're, you're, you're maybe most known for in our digital marketing world.
Yeah. But, and, and, and I That's how I knew you first as well. Right. And, and like, you know, you obviously, the, the big name that we know in digital marketing is Russell Brunson. Yeah. And, you know, he, you dress him for everything. He won't put one article of clothing on without getting the ban, the BART stamp of approval and whatever Bart says, goes, I mean, it's like he doesn't question.
Uh, you know, Russell will admit he doesn't have much fashion taste other than, you know, flip flops. He'd be wearing flip flops and, and jean shorts and, and t-shirts. He'd be t-shirts. But, but, but, uh, you know, Bart, uh, literally, and, and, and to me it's, it's like, oh, those are cool clothes, but. One night there was a late mastermind, uh, Bart was explaining all of the intricacies on the backgrounds and what, who is your audience?
And you can actually dress for your audience. Like, so you're, you know, you don't wanna dress up too much. And so the [00:10:00] whole thing is so calculated. I know it's really stressful for Bart to be, to, cause I mean that we, we can talk cuz we're private now. Like this is not public. But like I did some calculations, like some, it wasn't stomper math as the inside joke.
Yeah. But it was the math Russell. Pulled in about 30 million over the weekend, uh, photo hacking live about a month ago. And, and part of that was his look. And part of that, that stress is that Bart wants to make sure that he looks the right exact way at the exact perfect time. So that's yet another thing that Bart does.
I mean, this guy does it all. I mean, what don't you do, brother? I assume you probably golf too. Well, sad thing is, is I did for years, I, uh, I did golf a lot and, but, uh, it was great for networking. But again, that's how a lot of people know you. They, through the, through the dressing, Hey, hey Bart, that story, you shared that story.
I heard you share that story once before about how Russell reached out to you. About addressing him? I don't know. Is that worth sharing to? Uh, that yeah, if, if you wanna know network, great. [00:11:00] So, uh, you know, the real story of how it all happened was, is that I showed up at all events looking extremely nice myself.
So that's one thing I take pride in, is when I would show up and it got to the point where people would ask. So back in the day, inner Circle used to be you'd. With a group of 25 and there was four different time slots. So you came in 20 fives. 25. 25, 25. Well, people who were coming in, my group would reach out and be like, oh crap, I gotta go shopping cuz Bart's gonna be there.
All this. It got to be kind of a. I don't know. It was kind of funny. Well, anyway, we were sitting there one day and Russell asked the audience, he goes, who Googled Bart before they ever talked to him to find out who he was when he walked in a room and a majority of the hands raised. And it was crazy. It even blew my mind.
And they wanted to know what I did, what I was all about, because of my presence. And I always tell people, you know, they wanted buy a Lamborghini. They wanna buy rolls, they wanna buy all these things, but that gets left at the door. Nobody gets to. If you wanna spend your money Right. Spend it on [00:12:00] great clothes, because they get to see that all night long.
You know, the, the bellman's the only one that gets the opportunity to go, wow, that Ferrari is awesome. Everybody else is already in there having a party. You know what I'm saying? And so anyway, so, uh, so Russell one day was standing there and we were at Inner Circle and he goes, You know, I need help with my dress, this and that and the other.
And I go, yeah. He goes, what's it gonna take? Well, the sad part that Russell always does and, and, and I love him for it, let's be clear, but he is always like, you guys have gotta raise your prices. You gotta be high ticket. You know, and he just got nothing doing one of those preaching moments. And I was like, Hmm, perfect opportunity.
Right? , I mean, so I named my price, I think at that time it was $30,000 for two days of shop. And you know, I was just joking around with him and he go, he looked at Melanie and he goes, Wire him the money and I was like, bitch, now I've gotta go dress him . No, it wasn't, it wasn't that. But there is, there really is a lot that goes to it.
And, uh, I find the reason I, a lot of people ask me why I don't have an offer. I'm known for [00:13:00] that, and I'm not known for my coaching. I'm not known for my accountability. I'm not known for all that. So a lot of people go, why don't you have a major course for that? And reality is, is that I have put out a few offers on it.
And the truth be told, if you're not on stage, Or you're not doing certain things, you don't take the offer. People don't know how critical dress is, so they don't, they don't put the energy behind it, which is really interesting. So it, unless you're gonna be on stage or a big event, people aren't looking for me, it's kinda like funerals.
You're not looking for a coffin. Every day of your life, you can see offers, but you're just not gonna buy one and have it sitting around for when you're ready to die. Right? Just doesn't happen. They just, but anyway, moral story is, is that's why I haven't done it. So I dunno if that happens. I, I think, I mean, again, you have so many networks that you've rabbit hole down and so many things that it's, it is really, truly an honor.
And, and let's talk about, again, we're spilling some tea here. We're in a private room. Uh, so, uh, let's talk about. To, uh, you know, dovetail. How did you meet the La [00:14:00] Payne? I believe it had something about what exactly what you're talking about. I segue. Yeah, law was, uh, we were both in the line get, well, I was getting that 10 x award right there and we were both standing in line and, uh, law was behind me and we were just chatting it up and then I go, Hey, next time you come, you gotta at least let me tailor that suit for you.
Cause he had a nice suit on, but it just wa it didn't fit him really well. He started laughing, he goes, okay, we're Willis. So we started to fashion talk a little bit, and then from there we just kind of walked out. Well, He wanted to meet somebody. And, uh, so it was, uh, a couple people he hadn't met before, which was Brandon Ca Poland, a few others that he hadn't been introduced to.
So he happened to be walking out and I saw them, so I just said, Hey, let me just do a quick introduction for you. He goes, oh, you don't have to do that. I'm like, no, I'd be glad to. So I walked up, introduced him, and then I just left, you know, basically. And, uh, he found me later and was like, Hey, so great, you know, here, here's a case.
Uh, His energy drink and stuff like that. And I'm like, man, I don't expect any of this. Like, I just wanted to help you out. You're [00:15:00] such an awesome individual. And then he goes, no, I really wanna bless your life too. And I was like, well, then we got a friendship going here. So, um, then we left and I can't remember what happened, but.
Somehow or another, he reached out to me. I reached out to him for, I can't remember, it was something we needed anyway, so we reach out, we started chatting, and from there our, our relationship just has exploded. And, uh, he's been to multiple of my events. He spoke at him. He's really blessed my community a lot and, uh, just become a great resource.
So I'm super grateful for him and all he's done, but, But yeah, that's how I met him. Another, a guy I met was a guy named Darren Kidd, which is a huge profile guy, and Darren is really, really interesting, but I, I was listening to his podcast a lot and he mentioned that he goes to Starbucks all the time.
That was one of his deals. And so, uh, I just reached out and found out which Starbucks he was going to just by watching what he was doing or where he was going. So once I figured that out, I literally just sent him a hundred dollars [00:16:00] Starbucks card. In the mail to that Starbucks to give to him. Cuz I didn't know where he was at.
I didn't know nothing. I was just hoping they would do it. Like I just reached out and said, Hey, this guy shows up. There're like, oh yeah, we know who he is. I'm like, cool. Here's a hundred bucks for his, buy his coffee for him. And don't, you know, you don't need to tell him anything else. They're like, cool.
So, uh, the kid was smart. He kept my phone numbers and, uh, anyway, so Darren got the a hundred dollars and he texted me and said, thanks. And that built that relationship from there, just totally wanted to give. I honestly didn't expect to call back. Nothing. I didn't know the kid was, I just did, it. Didn't even give him my name because I, I truly was so grateful for the podcast and what he was giving me in my life at that point in time.
I just wanted to give back. I was so, I was so grateful. So, you know, that turned into a really cool moment for me too, which is really awesome. How get track down to Starbucks. How did you figure that out? So, uh, when he would get on his podcast, he was talking about a high school cause his kid was in school.
Long story, like how it all worked, but I just started putting peace together. I mean, Google's an amazing thing, right? So, Started just starting to play [00:17:00] on some stuff and it, it, it's like stalking. Let's be clear. It was bad. Like I stalked. That's a good way. There's a, there's gotta term really stalking, truly is, but that's how it was.
I don't wanna tell you all the secrets, but , but I literally stalked the dude down and kind of just set him a gift, you know, because like I said, he just really blessed my life. And I, I honestly want to tell you though, in my network, and I do have an amazing. But I want you to know, they bless my life more than I bless theirs.
And, and it's always, like I said, it's, it's every time I network with somebody just like Justin or you know, any, just anybody like you guys, Christopher VOAs sent me things. Doesn't have to, you know, he never expects anything. Return. Justin's the same way, like just. They care. They see things, the things that mean things to 'em.
And what these two guys do extremely well that I, I really appreciate and it's something I really try to be cautious of, is, you know, you guys, when you're doing these kind of things, we, we think we have to do a [00:18:00] big gift. Like it's gotta be something like a Rolex and it's all these things. Reality is, that's not it.
A lot of times we have a lot of things, but it's that thought that somebody goes, oh, you liked this, I noticed this and I made this happen. That makes you. . What? How do they even know? I like pretzels. Like that's crazy. Yeah. I mentioned it, but like to do something about it. Right. And it, and it's not that expensive, but it, the thought behind it and what it is, makes it worth a million dollars to you as a human being, if that makes sense.
So as you listen to these things, one of the, the things that I don't know if they're gonna spill the tea on is, It's more about thinking about the human being than it is how expensive the gift is. And sometimes, you know, it is a little more money. I'm not gonna say it's not, but really thinking about like that Starbucks coffee deal, I, I mean, a hundred bucks.
Yeah. But at the end of the day, it was because I had listened to him so many times. I knew that he loved coffee. That's what I was buying.[00:19:00]
But he knew. He knew the extra effort that you had to put in to find out. Yeah, I mean that's those little things. It's like a hundred dollars gift. I mean, the guy could buy his own coffee, but you thought to buy him coffee and the fact that you listened enough to go, okay, this is the one that he goes to.
And it's like, and some people think this guy, people always say, doesn't that make him feel creepy? No, you're paying attention to 'em. They're like, my wife knew everything I was doing up to the time I asked her to marry me. She knew exactly what I was up to, but it's how I did it that made her feel completely different.
And that guy didn't feel weird about it. He was like, man, How'd he do this? And I don't know if Justin was there when Law gave me my, uh, he, he bought my wife and I, Louis Vuittons. Were you there when he got those for us? I saw the bags. Yeah. Those were awesome. So it was a cool story how he did that. So here's another networker, right?
So he, he had these bags. He brings him up on stage cuz he was gonna be speaking with me. And he brings up on stage and he goes, he goes, I didn't know with [00:20:00] you being dressing, I didn't know if you liked Louis Vuitton. I didn't do nothing. He goes, so what I did, Uh, he sent in, um, Dustin into the Louis Vuitton shop and had him look up my, see if I had an account set up and on my account what I'd already bought.
And then he found that my wife had a purse that was part of a set. And then he bought us matching things that went with the entire set. And I mean, that's just next level thinking, right? That you just go, man, That's awesome. Like that's the kind of stuff I love to do right there is like, you know, he didn't just go buy something to buy something he bought something that he knew, went with everything I did and knew I had an account there.
So therefore, he knew I liked it because I'd bought stuff. . Yep. Some influencers give you a gift, like someone posted on Instagram, today is my birthday and here's everything I'm gonna do for my birthday. I'm going here for breakfast, I'm going here for lunch, I'm going here for dinner. It's like, thank you so much.
You've given me the greatest gift in the world. I'm gonna go get gift [00:21:00] cards. I'm gonna tell, you know, so you know, when they show up for lunch, the manager says, oh, by the way, I just want you to know your lunch is paid. Like what my much is paid for. So just looking at the details. I mean, paying attention to things people want.
People love it when you pay attention. I remember when you, I remember freezing the picture when you mentioned you like pretzels and I'm zooming in, I'm like, I see the pretzels sitting on his, on his thing, but I couldn't really make out the label. So I'm Googling pretzels with blue labels, pretzels with red labels.
I'm like, like, I think there's a D in the name. I'm like, holy crap. These are dots. . That's awesome. But you have to look in the background, look at what's going on. I mean, Just looking at Bart right now, you can see in the background if people are looking for gift ideas for Bart, just look around in his background right there.
I mean, you know, I mean there's, there's free gifts back there. Look for 'em. But yeah, if you're looking, I love that story. You got Beatles right there. You got golf, you got Husker football. I mean there, you know what I mean? It's all over. It's all over hundred [00:22:00] percent and that when I home, you could see my kids and you know, stuff like that.
So that's all. Yeah. I'll tell you one other cool story is, is that when you do have a network, Here's another thing that I want you to consider though. A lot of people always want to call me to get to certain people, and so also be cautious when you're networking and doing this kind of stuff that you don't overstep your bounds.
So I'll give you an example. Funnel Hacking Live this year. A lot of you know that Garrett White gave Russell a really cool gift if you were there and it was, um, major portraits. But what people don't know is I was the one that was the connector. So what happened is I got a phone call from someone and they're like, Hey, I, I had no idea it was Garrett, by the way.
I had no idea Garrett was gifting this, but they needed access to photos and so they called me and said, Hey, we need to get access to this type of stuff. And I was like, Dude, I don't know enough if I'm gonna do this for you. Like this is this, you're asking for a lot. Anyway, but I knew the [00:23:00] person well enough, a, after they, they asked the favor and I said, okay, I'll do it.
So I got 'em in contact with the right people to make it all happen. But, but they did it the right way, is what I'm trying to get at. So, so don't just because you learn these tactics, don't go after somebody who's like, Justin, hey, I want to get. You know, X, Y, Z and Justin has a lot of freaking amazing ballers, and so does Christopher Boss, if they can get you to, and they, you wanna use the cheat code by going to them and just instantly they're gonna connect you.
And I'm here to tell you that it doesn't always work that way. So just, just really think those relationships through and, uh, do it the right way. Well, and I had an example too of that. So we were at, uh, uh, Napoleon Hill Foundation, uh, with Russell and doing some cool stuff with. And, uh, after the, the, it was a really big deal and there was a big gala and it was a big splash and Russell was treated like royalty and all this stuff.
But after I left, I got a call from, um, someone at the foundation that said that there was a literally [00:24:00] a billionaire that wanted to get in contact with Russell. Hmm. And they wanted to know if it was okay if they shared Russell's information. Mm-hmm. And I, well, of course I said, sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, I didn't. Of course not. I said, look, man, Russell's like the most private, one of the most private people, uh, especially when you do become an influencer or a celebrity. It's like he's on top of that. He's an introvert and he is just private. He wants to chill with his family and wrestle and, and do the things that he likes to.
And so I said, Hey man, like, um, when the time is right, maybe there can be, there can be some type of introduction or something, but at this point, yeah, I would, you know, I said, I mean, I said you, you're, you know where her mailing address is because you said you can start, but, and that was a billionaire and I just still said now.
Yeah, you gotta be mindful of, of your, of your, you, you gotta protect people, you know, and that's a great thing. And uh, when you do that, they respect you more and it keeps your network in check, you know? Yeah. And uh, you know, it really does. How I [00:25:00] got to Russell, honestly, was one of my best friends had Russell's cell phone number.
So Russell, I texted Russell forever, really met Russell and I knew who he was, but I hadn't had a relationship with him. And Russell basically texted me back and said, you know, I got family things going on. Didn't know who I was. So I said, okay, well this is the person that introduced me. So he goes, well, you need to go through these channels.
and I was like, okay, cool. So I just totally respected him, even though I had his cell number, went through the channels, joined Inner Circle the way he wanted him to, got to know him. And then we really had a laugh about how we got connected, how I got his number. He's like, I don't know how you got my number.
Like nobody gets my number. But I'm like, well, I just happened to know a few people, and one of em. And once he knew who it was, he was like, oh my gosh. But, uh, this human being is one of my great, great friends that was like, he knew I wouldn't, he knew I would respect Russell in whatever happened. I would never overstep that and make him look bad, if that [00:26:00] makes sense.
And so that level of trust is such a big deal. And, you know, another thing that makes that, that, that, that makes me think of is that, uh, it's ways of communication. Now look, we all have our preferred ways of communication, like just the way it is. Like Russell likes, we all know he likes Voxer and he likes Instagram.
That's where he hangs out. And Voxer and I have Russell's cell phone number and we've communicated a few times when we had to on cell phone, but I know that's not how he wants to talk. He wants to talk on Voxer. It's basically, it's an app that. Sends a voicemail essentially, and then you instantly get it like a walkie-talkie.
And so when I communicate with Russell, I do it on Boxer because that's the way he wants to communicate, man. Other people, I just, and I, I got like an elephant brain, so I just remember everything. So I know like Christine Morrell tonight, I know she likes to do. Um, Facebook Messenger. And so it, I forget, like someone reached out to me today for someone else and I said, oh, I, what's their email?
And I said, and it was okay. It was, it was a fine introduction, but I said, email's not gonna work. They're mo they're always on Instagram Messenger. Hit 'em up [00:27:00] there, right? And so it's just like knowing these people that you connect with, know how they wanna communicate, figure don't, don't communicate the way you want to communicate, which might be, and here's the thing that drives me nuts.
If you wanna like dream one me or know me, Like, do not call me. I mean, if you're gonna call me like, it's like we gotta be doing something cuz time is the most precious commodity that all of us have, and three of us are chatty Kathy's. And so like the one we get on the phone, it's like, all right, that's 20 minutes.
Like there's just, it ain't be under 20 minutes. And sometimes that's great enough to have time and that's fine. But like other people will like get my number and like, we don't have anything really going. And it's like, and I'll never answer it, it's like just you won't do it. Like for me, text is good. I don't really like text either.
I like email because I can go check email when I'm ready to go check email and I, it's like it's an intrusion. Like I, that's everything else. And you can always set do not disturbs and all those kinds of things. So just know your person, know how they wanna communicate and communicate where they want.
[00:28:00] You can turn. I'm gonna go get one really cool gift that I got given that I'm gonna pass on to Justin, but I gotta go get it cause it's one of the cool for me gifting a gift. I got a gift that I'm re-gifting and you're gonna Nice re efficiency. Perfect. Look at this. Hey Christopher, I tell ya, you're, this is cool.
I love it if you, if you're, if you're watching this and you're like, you know, this is live stuff. I mean, this is the relationship that, that I've built with Bart, the relationship that Justin's built with Bart and Bart's on here with tonight, dropping some serious awesome stuff, Sharon, about how he's. The billion dollar cowboy has built this billion dollar network of people.
And then now, right now, he's gonna gift Mr. Benton right here, live on our tonight. This is really super cool. And you gift, he, you gifted him something virtually on our live earlier this morning. So I guess we're, we're, we're gifting virtually now, folks, you know what? Whatever works. But you know, you mentioned, but while Bart's [00:29:00] away.
It's so important not to make Phil someone feel uncomfortable because all the work that you do, all the effort that you do it, you know, it's like, I kind of look at it like your Coke's gonna squirrel over and you, you ma you make the Ron move and that squirrel's just gonna run away and it's never gonna come back.
And so you really have to think things through. You just, you know, think things through, think before you act. I mean, don't, don't go in this area of, you know, analysis paralysis cuz we know that that's all bad. . One thing you need to do is you wanna think it through beginning to end, and then ask yourself those questions.
Justin, your point about how they like to be communicated to. I, I made the mistake in the past of trying to call Russell. Uh, you know, actually I didn't make the mistake of doing it, but I asked if I could call and it was, you know, and it, it, it's funny when someone says, I don't like to be on the phone and like my.
She would rather do, she would text, she would text me. We could be laying in bed. She'd send me a [00:30:00] text message instead of talking to me. She does not like to be on the phone. And some people are the same way. So you definitely have to respect that. And like Justin said, spend the time, follow the person.
Learn everything you can about them. See the world from their eyes. And one thing that stuck in my mind, you've got the golden. Which is due unto to others as you would wanna be treated. But the thing that we should all live by is the platinum rule. And that's due unto, unto others as they wanna be treated.
Treat them how they wanna be treated. Not you. Oh, here we go. Oh boy. What do we got there? What is that? Is that a putter? Look at this. What is Jen? Now I need to hear the story on this thing. I, I'm, wow, this is, this has not even been out of the rapper. Nice. I list. Oh, I can't give it to you. Okay. Well you don't have to, you can just can tease me.
Has it got your name on it? Yeah. I didn't realize they put my name on it. Even better though. For better Houston Benton to have the billion dollar Cowboys. I, I I'll to be glad to. [00:31:00] So what I want you to do is, I hope this will say, hold on, hold on. I want you to read what this says if I can. Yeah. Miller is the greatest.
Oh, go ahead. Okay. Here, read this right here. And. This is what it's made out of. Ross Taylor Original, made from the reproductive organ of a bull
It's bull. That is perfect. Oh my God. Have you, and you haven't putted with it yet, you don't see, you know, I've just had my hands all over it. Boys . Oh my. Yeah. We give those bull whips to my dogs. That's hilarious. . How, anyway, how is dozer not eating that? This thing shows up in the mail. I was laughing so hard.
And then it's got a buffalo coin right there. Oh, that's hilarious. Anyway, they, they. It was a pretty funny gift. I thought it was awesome. So, but I, I'll never use it. So if you'll use. The inner circle for you. Next time we, uh, meet up in Boise and it's not, [00:32:00] uh, a hundred degrees or snowing, let's, uh, , let's go play some golf.

Anybody wants to dream one this guy. It's pickle ball all the way. And I, and Christopher and I talked and I think we're gonna send you, I, I, I know I I had a great gift for you, you guys, you guys we're like, you don't need to send me anything.

We didn't even get into, get into that. Yep. And, uh, law was so cool about it. I haven't even told you, but I'll tell you. Another time. That law was so cool about it. That just shows the network that we've developed, that we, that it's not even about. It's not about the money, it's about the relationships and, and yes, if you have great relationships and you serve people and you are always over delivering like we are.
The money will follow. It always will. And if you play the long game, not the short game, the long game, amen, then you won't. You won't know what to do with all the money that you, that you want, if that's what you put out there on your goals. So thanks again Bart, so much for joining us.
