00:00:59.049 --> 00:01:10.094
So I want to give the audience just a brief story about where you're at and then kind of segue that into where you're at now.
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:13.930
So I didn't have a job and I didn't have a life.
00:01:13.930 --> 00:01:17.069
Like the only thing I did is do drugs every day.
00:01:17.069 --> 00:01:23.182
And now it's like I'm I have a job, I have responsibilities at work at home.
00:01:23.182 --> 00:01:26.265
Back then I didn't like I didn't worry about paying have responsibilities at work at home.
00:01:26.265 --> 00:01:31.890
Back then I didn't Like I didn't worry about paying rent, paying bills, anything I had to do with bills, or anything.
00:01:32.090 --> 00:01:34.653
Now I can actually provide for my family.
00:01:34.653 --> 00:01:36.155
I actually pay child support.
00:01:36.155 --> 00:01:37.016
It feels actually good.
00:01:37.016 --> 00:01:38.296
I help my mom.
00:01:38.296 --> 00:01:42.003
Like my mom, if she needs help, she'll call me.
00:01:42.003 --> 00:01:44.328
She'll tell me hey, you think you can let me borrow some money so I can pay this.
00:01:44.328 --> 00:01:45.310
I'm like, yeah, of course.
00:01:45.310 --> 00:01:49.298
So it feels good being able to provide from uh to my family.
00:01:49.298 --> 00:01:52.628
Anybody that asks me hey, you think you can let me use some money.
00:01:52.628 --> 00:01:55.799
It's like it feels good to be able to help someone.
00:01:57.100 --> 00:02:08.848
Um, now it's like I have a good job, I have responsibilities at my work, I accomplish things, and it feels good.
00:02:08.848 --> 00:02:11.610
Back then it was just like I didn't even think about it.
00:02:11.610 --> 00:02:45.450
Now it's like I wake up happy that I have a job, that my family is happy, brothers and sisters are happy for me that I'm doing good, that I have a job and I'm gonna keep doing what I'm doing, and it's hopefully in five or let or three years, I don't know uh, get my own house or something, be able to get a house for my mom, my sister, and it just feels good being able to think like that.
00:02:45.450 --> 00:02:57.431
Cause back then I that didn't even cross my mind at all and I was like I'm thinking about my, the goals, uh, that I have been like going forward right now in my life, and it just feels good.
00:02:58.181 --> 00:02:58.640
That's awesome.
00:02:58.640 --> 00:02:59.462
That's awesome.
00:02:59.462 --> 00:03:24.360
So, um, the just for the audience, javier really embodies our culture here, and our culture is the way that he interacts with people I mean, he's always smiling and his appetite to get better and to educate himself on something like painting.
00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:29.915
That was a struggle there for a while, but Javier would come and tell me hey, I was watching these videos, I was doing this.
00:03:29.915 --> 00:03:44.287
I called this guy to get some information and just really took ownership over becoming what he has the ability to do now and that's, you know, getting pretty close to being perfect on painting, and so that embodies our culture here.
00:03:44.287 --> 00:03:58.016
And somebody that that may not have been able to meet our requirements on day one, but you fast forward a couple of weeks or a couple of months and then he's, he's climbing that ladder to to meet that and, um, so that's just awesome.
00:03:58.746 --> 00:03:59.989
I wanted the audience to hear that.
00:03:59.989 --> 00:04:00.610
I want to.
00:04:00.610 --> 00:04:02.074
I want to talk about what.
00:04:02.074 --> 00:04:07.793
What are some things that, um, you had to overcome and how did you overcome them?
00:04:07.793 --> 00:04:14.135
Drug addiction you know that kind of deal, and how did you, how did you overcome it, being in prison and all that?
00:04:20.685 --> 00:04:22.911
how did you overcome it, being in prison and all that going to prison?
00:04:22.911 --> 00:04:26.141
Uh, that was my first time going to prison, because I've done rehab and uh, for some people it actually does help.
00:04:26.141 --> 00:04:28.607
Uh, for me, I don't know why, it didn't.
00:04:28.607 --> 00:04:50.199
Um, I went to rehab for like seven months and, uh, probably like less than a month I went back to using drugs and this time I went to prison, not even for a long time, but still it's like that experience, that, or just when I was in county just thinking about you know what damn, like I'm getting sentenced to go to prison.
00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:52.362
So it's like that just changed everything.
00:04:58.865 --> 00:05:02.254
And when I actually hit prison, it was like I like just looking at everything that was that was going on.
00:05:02.254 --> 00:05:02.555
So it was.

00:05:02.555 --> 00:05:04.601
It's like this is for real, this is, this is happening.
00:05:04.601 --> 00:05:06.548
So that right there it changed my life.
00:05:06.548 --> 00:05:13.829
Like, um, like when I got out, it's like I don't know, I just started thinking differently, got a job.
00:05:14.911 --> 00:05:17.718
Oh so when I got out of prison, I went to this place called Casa Grande.
00:05:17.718 --> 00:05:19.211
That place is amazing.
00:05:19.211 --> 00:05:21.533
It's like it's an amazing place.
00:05:21.533 --> 00:05:22.709
It helps you out a lot.
00:05:22.709 --> 00:05:39.675
So they help you get a job, they help you get your ID, everything back together Everything your social, everything, things that I didn't have, like when I was like on drugs I didn't even have my ID, my social, everything was lost.
00:05:39.845 --> 00:05:41.110
Everything in my life was lost.
00:05:41.110 --> 00:05:43.305
Now it's like, yeah, that place right there helped me out.
00:05:43.305 --> 00:05:51.620
They helped me with this job that I have right now, this container post Amazing place.
00:05:51.620 --> 00:06:08.654
So, yeah, casa Grande was an experience that changed my life and yeah, so that place right there got me to where I'm at right now, and now it's like I'm always busy.
00:06:08.654 --> 00:06:10.913
I always have something to do.
00:06:10.913 --> 00:06:22.572
So that right there, like it, helps me out not to think about negative things or having to use drugs or think the way I, not to think about negative things or having to use, go use drugs or think the way you think now is like I think about just work.
00:06:22.572 --> 00:06:29.259
Once I get to work, I'm just thinking about what am I gonna do, or or what do I have to do today, or make sure this gets done.
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:43.156
That's the only thing that's going through my mind and it just feels good awesome, yeah, and it's really encouraging to watch as well, because, just for the audience he was, I hired him when you were still in prison.
00:06:43.156 --> 00:06:50.617
That was the Casa Grande that you were in, and then you know there's always that concern with everybody whenever we get out.
00:06:50.617 --> 00:06:56.574
You know it's like okay, you know we get hit with the real world and Javier adapted really really well.
00:06:56.574 --> 00:06:59.067
And you know I get hit with the real world and Javier adapted really really well and you know it's I think it's awesome.
00:06:59.990 --> 00:07:08.413
Um, we, as business people, um have an opportunity to um collaborate with people like Javier to a lot of times.
00:07:08.413 --> 00:07:25.752
We just need a little bit of structure, you know, and then you take that to a whole nother level, you know, and take it to where you're at now and, um, structure is a is the very thing that can provide that freedom that somebody is in search for, is in need of, and it provides those goals to where they can start to climb those ranks and accomplish those
goals.
00:07:25.752 --> 00:07:37.218
And when you get ID, when you get social, when you get all of those things, you start, you know, building up that confidence and through that confidence, you're able to have motivation to do more things and to continue to climb those ranks.
00:07:37.218 --> 00:07:44.029
Last question is what are you most excited for going forward, and it can be 10 things.
00:07:44.632 --> 00:07:44.913
I don't know.
00:07:44.913 --> 00:07:51.468
I just think like everything that's going on right now is like like I actually do think about it.
00:07:51.468 --> 00:07:52.151
I do.
00:07:52.151 --> 00:07:59.274
I'm like, wow, so if it's going this good for me, this is good, like, even though I don't have a, I live with my mom, I help her on everything.
00:07:59.274 --> 00:08:06.425
But it's just having to think that, okay, I have a job, I'm paying rent, I have income, income coming in, so it just feels good.
00:08:06.425 --> 00:08:06.846
It's like.
00:08:06.927 --> 00:08:13.151
But now, thinking about what's going, what's going to happen in five, ten years, that question, like, is this?
00:08:13.151 --> 00:08:14.793
It's very strong.
00:08:14.793 --> 00:08:20.732
It's like just thinking about what am I gonna, where am I gonna be in five, ten years?
00:08:20.732 --> 00:08:21.973
You know?
00:08:21.973 --> 00:08:45.527
So it's like, well, I really want in those like when, like you're saving, I'm gonna save money up and just try to get a place, that's where, that's where I see myself how to get in a place, and then just, uh, working myself, like I'm, like I've seen myself before and right now, where I'm at right now, I just I'm like I'm, that's the only thing I think about.
00:08:45.527 --> 00:08:53.811
It's like okay, so if I'm doing this good, imagine in five years, damn, like, yeah, yeah, so that's oh, yeah, I literally do think about all that.
00:08:53.811 --> 00:09:08.754
Yeah, like not having a house, but at the same time, yes, but then just myself, like that's where I'm like, okay, you don't get nervous talking in life, I don't know, it just changes myself.
00:09:08.754 --> 00:09:15.025
That's where I'm Just excited to see Myself.
00:09:15.025 --> 00:09:16.190
Yeah, where you'll be at in five years from now.
00:09:16.210 --> 00:09:16.552
I love it, man.
00:09:16.552 --> 00:09:17.193
That's where I'm at right.
00:09:17.193 --> 00:09:19.081
I think you'll, because you touched on a couple of things.
00:09:19.081 --> 00:09:23.099
You know it's like get into a house, you know, and just get into, get into somewhere.
00:09:23.099 --> 00:09:24.866
I think that's a big goal of yours as well.
00:09:24.866 --> 00:09:29.969
Also, you know, you mentioned a child support earlier, you know, and kind of working through that as well.
00:09:29.969 --> 00:09:31.634
Um, those are, those are at least some things I'm super excited about as well.
00:09:31.634 --> 00:09:34.602
Um, those are, those are at least some things I'm super excited about as well.
00:09:34.602 --> 00:09:39.592
And or, um, um, javier is a part of our um.
00:09:39.774 --> 00:10:00.697
We're at the very beginning stages of our DCAT program, to where we come alongside Javier and other other guys that I have as well that are giving a blueprint of how you're going to accomplish every single one of those goals, and so, um, I can't wait to see in five to 10 years Also, it's really cool to accomplish every single one of those goals, and so I can't wait to see you in five to 10 years also, it's really cool to see after a couple of years and to see where you're at, and where you're at now.
00:10:00.697 --> 00:10:02.600
It's very encouraging.
00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:04.201
I think you're going to accomplish those goals.
00:10:04.201 --> 00:10:11.370
I think it's going to happen, probably quicker than five to 10 years, for sure, 10 years.
00:10:11.370 --> 00:10:23.056
I think that we get on a what what I would call is a roadmap, um, and a goal plan, and then we just start pursuing that day after day after day, um.
00:10:23.277 --> 00:10:29.498
So just some encouragement, javier, man keep doing what you're doing, but don't ever allow yourself to get stagnant.
00:10:29.498 --> 00:10:37.919
You know, always be analyzing at what can I do different now, you know, like maybe I'm just going to make up stuff right or throw stuff out there.
00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:45.254
Maybe now I want to start exercising, I want to start eating different, and in order to do that, I need to wake up a little bit earlier.
00:10:45.254 --> 00:11:03.575
You know, I want to start reading or educating on something, or maybe learning a new skill within leadership or something like that, all while working on a budget and working towards the goal of what it's going to take to get into the house and to get, you know, with the child support and all of that kind of stuff.
00:11:03.575 --> 00:11:08.571
So, very encouraged by that, javier, can't wait to see where you're at.
00:11:08.571 --> 00:11:12.796
And you know, I got your back, man, thank you, thanks.
00:11:12.796 --> 00:11:14.000
Cool, awesome.
00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:14.863
Well, thank you, javier.
00:11:14.863 --> 00:11:15.754
Yeah, thank you.
