Full Transcript for ⚡ THE CMECP® PROGRAM IS EXPANDING. ⚡Certified Master Electricians

There's the apprentice. There's the younger electrician. 72 00:03:55.379 --> 00:03:59.080 There's the people that moan and groan about spending money 73 00:03:59.099 --> 00:04:01.979 for courses. They want it all to be free. And 74 00:04:02.020 --> 00:04:04.199 so they go searching on the Internet, you know, and 75 00:04:04.219 --> 00:04:06.319 they'll say, you know, I don't mind paying, but they 76 00:04:06.340 --> 00:04:09.360 do mind paying for it. That's not to take away 77 00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:11.460 from the folks that do buy our programs and things 78 00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:13.159 like that. But I'm saying there's a large segment of 79 00:04:13.379 --> 00:04:15.469 people out there who just want shit for free. 80 00:04:16.300 --> 00:04:18.360 And there's a lot of education out there. People are 81 00:04:18.379 --> 00:04:18.790 doing it. 82 00:04:19.740 --> 00:04:22.459 And people can say, well, I'm doing it just to 83 00:04:22.500 --> 00:04:25.199 do it. But it takes money out of educators' hands. 84 00:04:25.250 --> 00:04:28.189 This is what we do for a living. So at 85 00:04:28.209 --> 00:04:31.050 the end of the day, it's like, I don't want 86 00:04:31.069 --> 00:04:34.329 to keep chasing. I've been doing that now for so 87 00:04:34.370 --> 00:04:36.790 many years. And I'm blessed that we have a lot 88 00:04:36.810 --> 00:04:38.850 of people in our programs that they went. And by 89 00:04:38.889 --> 00:04:41.069 the way, the programs aren't going away as far as 90 00:04:41.110 --> 00:04:43.329 if you're enrolled in them now, you can stay in them. 91 00:04:45.029 --> 00:04:48.949 But The concept of moving on to the. 92 00:04:48.889 --> 00:04:52.470 2026 has us thinking about the direction that we want 93 00:04:52.490 --> 00:04:54.269 to go and do. I want to put out a 94 00:04:54.350 --> 00:04:59.180 fast tracks version for exam prep. And a lot of it, 95 00:04:59.350 --> 00:05:01.189 and I told folks out there that I would be, 96 00:05:01.730 --> 00:05:03.889 you know, thinking about stepping back from that. 97 00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:06.120 And that's what I meant when I say retire. I'm 98 00:05:06.139 --> 00:05:07.100 going to step back. 99 00:05:06.939 --> 00:05:12.060 From that because we'll still can create courses. But these 100 00:05:12.100 --> 00:05:15.889 courses are going to be dedicated more towards our licensed 101 00:05:15.970 --> 00:05:17.689 professionals that are already licensed. 102 00:05:18.069 --> 00:05:18.769 You get what I'm saying? 103 00:05:19.670 --> 00:05:22.649 So that means that the journeymen, we're not leaving you 104 00:05:22.670 --> 00:05:26.009 hanging if you're preparing for a master's exam, but the 105 00:05:26.100 --> 00:05:29.740 difference is we change the concept of how we want 106 00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:32.660 to do here at Electrical Code Academy. Now, is that 107 00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:34.720 going to be a massive hit for us financially? 108 00:05:34.939 --> 00:05:35.540 Absolutely. 109 00:05:35.779 --> 00:05:39.110 We sell a lot of courses. So you take away 110 00:05:39.149 --> 00:05:43.350 the course fees because we're changing the structure. You know, 111 00:05:43.449 --> 00:05:46.089 people will say, why the hell would you do that? Well, 112 00:05:46.209 --> 00:05:49.230 the reason is I just do not want to compete 113 00:05:49.310 --> 00:05:52.139 with the folks out there in the world who go 114 00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:57.000 on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, whatever, and want to teach, teach, 115 00:05:57.060 --> 00:05:59.600 teach because they feel like it should be free or 116 00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:01.310 they feel like they want to give back or they 117 00:06:01.350 --> 00:06:02.649 feel like they want to be an educator. 118 00:06:03.689 --> 00:06:04.430 We're a business. 119 00:06:05.050 --> 00:06:07.810 So as much as I love teaching people, it's still 120 00:06:07.850 --> 00:06:11.199 a business to me. So when people say to me, Paul, 121 00:06:12.220 --> 00:06:15.170 you love what you do and you're helping so many people, 122 00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:17.209 I'm like, I love it that I am helping people 123 00:06:17.389 --> 00:06:19.449 and I love that, but I'm also a business. 124 00:06:19.629 --> 00:06:20.189 We make money. 125 00:06:20.769 --> 00:06:23.129 And to be honest with you, that's my focus as 126 00:06:23.170 --> 00:06:26.879 a business. And I'm transparent as hell with that. Yes, 127 00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:30.160 I love that people learn, but at the end of 128 00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:33.139 the day, we're a business and And in the past, 129 00:06:33.180 --> 00:06:37.040 we've had partnerships to be able to offer courses through 130 00:06:37.100 --> 00:06:40.160 partnerships like Cengage and other different stuff. 131 00:06:40.339 --> 00:06:44.000 And, you know, part of me wants to get back 132 00:06:44.110 --> 00:06:47.850 to that aspect of it. So here's the deal. 133 00:06:48.009 --> 00:06:50.449 For people that are wondering out there what I'm even 134 00:06:50.509 --> 00:06:52.990 rambling on about. So many of you out there are 135 00:06:53.029 --> 00:06:57.529 probably familiar with the CMECP program. Still uncontested leader when 136 00:06:57.569 --> 00:07:01.399 it comes to master electricians furthering their education. NFPA doesn't 137 00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:03.480 have anything for it. They have it for electrical safety 138 00:07:03.500 --> 00:07:05.990 and other things. If they were to do something based 139 00:07:06.029 --> 00:07:08.990 on the NEC, they'd be simply copying our model because 140 00:07:09.029 --> 00:07:11.709 we've been around for 10 years, coming up on 10 years. 141 00:07:12.769 --> 00:07:17.600 So there's a reason they haven't done it. So in 142 00:07:17.720 --> 00:07:22.500 our case, the CMECP is a select group of. 143 00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:24.939 Professionals that are willing to go through the process. 144 00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:29.350 Now, when that started quite a few

years ago, It 145 00:07:29.430 --> 00:07:34.389 was a full year, then it dropped down to six-month program, 146 00:07:34.470 --> 00:07:37.970 and then it dropped down to a four-month program. Now, 147 00:07:38.009 --> 00:07:40.610 we have current candidates that are in the four-month program 148 00:07:40.649 --> 00:07:41.009 right now. 149 00:07:41.050 --> 00:07:42.680 They can stay in it. They're working through it. 150 00:07:42.750 --> 00:07:48.160 We just had our recent graduate graduate. who just became 151 00:07:48.300 --> 00:07:55.100 our latest C-M-E-C-P. So that's always exciting when we get 152 00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:59.350 people that go through the program. But at the end 153 00:07:59.370 --> 00:08:04.259 of the day, it's like always... and encouraging to have 154 00:08:04.300 --> 00:08:07.660 people through our program. And in the latest CMECP, here's 155 00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:10.360 a funny thing. He's not even in the US. He's 156 00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:13.290 obviously American citizen, but he's working abroad and he did 157 00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:18.089 this abroad. So shout out to Adam Velez. 158 00:08:18.310 --> 00:08:20.050 And I probably will say that wrong. 159 00:08:20.069 --> 00:08:20.930 Okay. 160 00:08:21.370 --> 00:08:29.569 But, you know, Alex Velez, congratulations. He is, all right, 161 00:08:29.589 --> 00:08:32.429 enough of that. He is our latest CMECP. 162 00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:36.899 Um, his report was, uh, he did an essay that 163 00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:40.139 we submitted to the CME CP body and they come 164 00:08:40.179 --> 00:08:43.429 back with a thumbs up and he got all thumbs up. 165 00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:45.480 Uh, he had a couple that were on the border. 166 00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:49.429 Um, but you know, grammar grammatical wise, you know, we, 167 00:08:49.529 --> 00:08:51.490 you know, but at the end of the day, that's 168 00:08:51.549 --> 00:08:52.250 not what it's about. 169 00:08:52.710 --> 00:08:56.549 We're not teaching, you know, we're not training English professors. 170 00:08:56.570 --> 00:09:00.309 Okay. So he did a great job during the program, 171 00:09:00.389 --> 00:09:05.909 the proctored exam, he did great. And he did have 172 00:09:05.929 --> 00:09:09.580 to redo two units and you get two attempts at 173 00:09:09.629 --> 00:09:12.059 it and he nailed them on the second one. So 174 00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:15.879 he's a testament to what we're looking for, that kind 175 00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:20.659 of dedication. So the process of being a CMECP is 176 00:09:21.830 --> 00:09:23.730 And the people that say that, you know, it's Paul 177 00:09:23.789 --> 00:09:26.730 Abernathy's money grab or his corporation's money grab, you know, 178 00:09:26.750 --> 00:09:29.629 you're the biggest freaking fool out there. 179 00:09:29.649 --> 00:09:32.000 If that's what you think, you're an idiot. You're stupid. 180 00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:35.639 Because if that was the case, ask any CMECP if 181 00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:38.159 we've ever charged them a renewal fee. Now, under the 182 00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:41.460 new structure, we will. But have we ever in 10 years? 183 00:09:41.940 --> 00:09:45.690 Absolutely not. It was never about, we turn away more 184 00:09:45.769 --> 00:09:49.840 people than we accept into the programs And a lot 185 00:09:49.860 --> 00:09:52.460 of people flunk out of it, not. 186 00:09:52.340 --> 00:09:54.889 Because it's hard. It's just, it's code. 187 00:09:55.690 --> 00:09:57.750 But the reason that they flunk out is because we 188 00:09:57.789 --> 00:10:01.659 demand dedication to that four-month process. And sadly, for the 189 00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:04.740 vast majority of people, life gets in the way. And 190 00:10:04.759 --> 00:10:07.980 when life gets in the way, it causes them to 191 00:10:08.220 --> 00:10:11.899 fall behind. And we don't have any grace in this. 192 00:10:12.639 --> 00:10:16.299 Because we're giving you four months, we're very strict. 193 00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:18.350 If there's 17 units.... 194 00:10:19.580 --> 00:10:21.789 And you get to 16 and you run out of 195 00:10:21.830 --> 00:10:25.070 time and you are almost done, you're out. 196 00:10:25.830 --> 00:10:28.330 You're done. If you say, well, I'm not going to 197 00:10:28.370 --> 00:10:30.429 get into that and risk my money. Well, then you 198 00:10:30.470 --> 00:10:30.730 know what? 199 00:10:30.750 --> 00:10:33.629 You don't need to take a gamble at anything because 200 00:10:33.909 --> 00:10:36.460 anything worth gambling on is worth earning. 201 00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:40.200 Right? So when I say gambling, you know what I mean. 202 00:10:40.679 --> 00:10:44.039 But the fact of the matter is it's hard because 203 00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:47.539 you have to manage your time. Very, very much about 204 00:10:47.659 --> 00:10:51.629 time management. in order to get through the CMECP program. 205 00:10:51.830 --> 00:10:53.149 But it's not brain surgery. 206 00:10:53.529 --> 00:10:54.340 It's the code. 207 00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:58.360 In fact, the vast majority of the people that go 208 00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:03.059 through our Fast Tracks program that are masters could easily 209 00:11:03.139 --> 00:11:05.620 make it through our CMECP program because it's a basic 210 00:11:05.740 --> 00:11:09.379 fundamental type of training. The only difference is we raise 211 00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:13.210 the bar when it comes to acceptance on exams, proctored exams, 212 00:11:13.250 --> 00:11:18.840 and your final essay. That's the difference. Because, you know, 213 00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:21.120 if you're a master electrician, you already have a good 214 00:11:21.179 --> 00:11:25.070 foundation of code. You passed an exam, entry level. You've 215 00:11:25.090 --> 00:11:30.610 done pretty good. So all we're doing is reaffirming that 216 00:11:30.669 --> 00:11:32.889 information and then testing you on it. That's it. 217 00:11:33.460 --> 00:11:34.600

We're not reinventing the wheel. 218 00:11:36.539 --> 00:11:39.330 But I will say over the 10 years of that 219 00:11:39.389 --> 00:11:43.029 CMECP program, it has been lax. And I'll tell you 220 00:11:43.110 --> 00:11:45.830 right now, CMECPs that are out there, I have to 221 00:11:45.889 --> 00:11:49.600 apologize because we have not offered you near the benefits 222 00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:50.320 that we could. 223 00:11:50.340 --> 00:11:52.919 We have not offered. I mean, yeah, we have the 224 00:11:52.980 --> 00:11:53.779 lapel pins. 225 00:11:53.799 --> 00:11:54.139 Yeah, we have. 226 00:11:54.500 --> 00:11:58.590 We have not offered you the benefits that we could 227 00:11:58.750 --> 00:12:01.970 offer you in this program. And I apologize for that. 228 00:12:02.070 --> 00:12:03.870 And one of the biggest reasons for that is because 229 00:12:03.929 --> 00:12:07.950 I have never, ever dedicated the time to it as 230 00:12:07.990 --> 00:12:12.200 an acting executive director. Well, that ends because we're going 231 00:12:12.220 --> 00:12:14.529 to be moving our a hundred percent of our core 232 00:12:14.649 --> 00:12:19.320 effort to the CME CP program. Now what's interesting about 233 00:12:19.360 --> 00:12:23.000 this is that most of, you know, we have certified 234 00:12:23.080 --> 00:12:24.720 thermal electrician program out there. 235 00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:30.159 We have the, obviously the CME CP program. Um, Many 236 00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:30.580 of you. 237 00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:36.620 Remember SIA, which is the Certified Energy Consultant. We're bringing 238 00:12:36.679 --> 00:12:39.409 back that type of training and rolling it in as 239 00:12:39.509 --> 00:12:44.590 a career path through the CMECP program. And the CMECP 240 00:12:44.629 --> 00:12:48.570 can add those on as additional certifications if they want. 241 00:12:49.009 --> 00:12:53.750 We're giving them that opportunity. We're even creating our own 242 00:12:55.289 --> 00:12:58.529 trade hog, but it's designed for CMECP. So it's going 243 00:12:58.549 --> 00:13:01.549 to be a little bit more jacked up when it 244 00:13:01.610 --> 00:13:05.840 comes to for CMECPs and how they use it and 245 00:13:05.909 --> 00:13:08.879 give that and include that with the CMECP program. 246 00:13:08.899 --> 00:13:10.259 We're just going to include that with them. 247 00:13:11.419 --> 00:13:13.539 Which is expensive, by the way, because we have to 248 00:13:13.620 --> 00:13:18.230 pay for our token models. And when we combine Grok 249 00:13:18.289 --> 00:13:22.309 and ChadGTP and then we upload our own stuff, we 250 00:13:22.389 --> 00:13:25.690 still have to pay these tokens. And it's thousands of 251 00:13:25.750 --> 00:13:28.830 dollars a month for these tokens to be able to 252 00:13:28.929 --> 00:13:30.470 give this service to somebody. 253 00:13:30.509 --> 00:13:33.370 So when you get it for $ 9. 95 or $ 19. 254 00:13:32.529 --> 00:13:36.809 95 or whatever, that's just a fraction of

what we 255 00:13:36.850 --> 00:13:41.759 have to pay collectively. And that's not going away. We 256 00:13:41.779 --> 00:13:44.629 want to keep those programs. But what we're doing is 257 00:13:44.669 --> 00:13:51.269 we're creating this overarching CMECP program underneath the Electrical Code Academy. 258 00:13:51.970 --> 00:13:57.610 And this CMECP program is dedicated primarily to enhancement and 259 00:13:57.629 --> 00:14:03.639 the betterment of master electricians. Now, We're going to be 260 00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:06.279 offering benefits to that. We're going to be offering things 261 00:14:06.340 --> 00:14:08.899 that we have never offered before. You're going to see 262 00:14:08.919 --> 00:14:11.379 a dramatic change in the program. But one of the 263 00:14:11.419 --> 00:14:15.610 biggest changes is the tier path to becoming a CMECP. 264 00:14:16.690 --> 00:14:21.009 So it was really something that I have thought about 265 00:14:21.070 --> 00:14:24.889 for a while now, and that is CMECP from a 266 00:14:25.070 --> 00:14:32.340 company level and CMECP from a technician or electrician level. 267 00:14:34.129 --> 00:14:37.629 So what I'm saying is that a company can get 268 00:14:37.669 --> 00:14:42.389 in through the company level, and the owner has to 269 00:14:42.429 --> 00:14:46.909 be a master electrician in at least two years in business. 270 00:14:46.929 --> 00:14:48.320 Okay? 271 00:14:49.179 --> 00:14:51.000 I think it's two years. I have to get with Jeff. 272 00:14:51.179 --> 00:14:53.019 I think it's two years or one year. Maybe one 273 00:14:53.059 --> 00:14:54.600 year in business. Oh, I think it's one year. 274 00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:57.399 They have to be at least in one year of 275 00:14:57.919 --> 00:15:03.000 an actual business. Okay? Business license, whatever, in business. 276 00:15:03.019 --> 00:15:03.259 Okay? 277 00:15:03.830 --> 00:15:04.710 And then they can get the CME. 278 00:15:04.899 --> 00:15:08.730 Now, if they have technicians under them, then they will 279 00:15:08.809 --> 00:15:13.049 get keys that will allow them to be able to 280 00:15:13.389 --> 00:15:18.889 add their employees into the program. So they'll be able 281 00:15:18.909 --> 00:15:20.929 to come into the program, and that way he can 282 00:15:20.970 --> 00:15:24.529 get all of their technicians or all their electricians can 283 00:15:24.570 --> 00:15:28.210 become CME CPs. Now, you might say, well, this is 284 00:15:28.269 --> 00:15:33.379 confusing because what if the technicians are not master's? Well, 285 00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:36.200 they don't have to be because they can get into 286 00:15:36.220 --> 00:15:38.960 the program just to help unify how they do things, 287 00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:44.139 help bring extra knowledge. But if they're journeymen, then they 288 00:15:44.210 --> 00:15:46.610 come in and they can get under our journeyman program. 289 00:15:47.590 --> 00:15:50.350 So many of you have seen that, what I've talked about. 290

00:15:50.370 --> 00:15:55.970 The journeyman program is really no different than the master program, 291 00:15:56.529 --> 00:15:59.809 except for the journeymen get 12 months to complete the program. 292 00:15:59.850 --> 00:16:00.690 And the effort. 293 00:16:01.500 --> 00:16:06.409 of the journeyman program is to create master electricians. So 294 00:16:06.450 --> 00:16:08.710 there's so many companies out there, right? They want to 295 00:16:08.769 --> 00:16:14.350 market them there, you know, as a, uh, uh, CMCP 296 00:16:15.190 --> 00:16:18.580 as a company, but then have all of their individual 297 00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:23.460 electricians or technicians that work under the company also certified. 298 00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:27.659 So we're going to be dealing with sales training. We're 299 00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:32.600 going to be having, um, Various meetings, okay, where we 300 00:16:32.679 --> 00:16:38.259 will have like the members all come together in like 301 00:16:38.379 --> 00:16:42.759 once a month as a meeting, a Zoom, and be 302 00:16:42.779 --> 00:16:45.399 able to do interact and ask questions and help learn 303 00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:50.220 from each other. We'll be creating marketing and stuff to 304 00:16:50.279 --> 00:16:54.279 help them. But a lot of these businesses are already 305 00:16:54.330 --> 00:16:58.179 immensely successful, right? They just need that edge, that little 306 00:16:58.320 --> 00:17:01.200 extra edge, and that's what we're going to do with 307 00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:02.320 this CMECP program. 308 00:17:02.340 --> 00:17:04.140 So it's going to be a two-tiered program. 309 00:17:04.180 --> 00:17:06.720 So if you own the company, then you can become 310 00:17:06.779 --> 00:17:12.430 a CMECP, and your company can then offer training to 311 00:17:12.470 --> 00:17:17.509 your employees under the CMECP program for their technicians. If 312 00:17:17.529 --> 00:17:20.170 they're masters, then they can get the regular program. If 313 00:17:20.210 --> 00:17:23.579 they're journeymen, then they can get the one-year program. But 314 00:17:23.619 --> 00:17:26.539 that's the path that we're going to have. And it'll 315 00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:30.180 be laid out eventually here on our website pretty clean 316 00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:34.049 so that you understand the various paths. But that's a 317 00:17:34.109 --> 00:17:37.690 choice because you also can still go the normal individual 318 00:17:37.829 --> 00:17:44.420 CMECP certified technician, certified master electrical co-professional. You can go 319 00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:48.559 that route the same way you always could. But we 320 00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:53.470 wanted to open up the ability for companies to to 321 00:17:53.529 --> 00:17:59.880 have the company become a preferred CMECP provider. 322 00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:02.839 Uh, so anyway, there's, there's. 323 00:18:04.099 --> 00:18:06.369 A lot of nuances to it, but, but we're going 324 00:18:06.380 --> 00:18:09.109 to offer the ability for the, for the CMECP to 325 00:18:09.150 --> 00:18:11.789 go down to various tracks, whether they want to, uh, 326 00:18:11.869 --> 00:18:15.990 become more proficient in thermography, if they want to go 327 00:18:16.029 --> 00:18:21.950 down the path of, um, the, um, Use the trade 328 00:18:21.970 --> 00:18:24.009 hog that's going to be dedicated just for them. They 329 00:18:24.029 --> 00:18:26.710 can use that in the field to solve issues and questions. 330 00:18:28.569 --> 00:18:31.069 And they can do that if they want to go 331 00:18:31.109 --> 00:18:34.430 down the path of we're going to be adding. Hopefully, 332 00:18:34.730 --> 00:18:36.849 it looks like we're going to be adding our own 333 00:18:39.029 --> 00:18:43.579 exterior accent lighting program and training. You've heard of it 334 00:18:43.619 --> 00:18:50.319 like Jellyfish and True Lights and Gemstone and Celebrite and 335 00:18:50.599 --> 00:18:53.160 different things like that. Well, we were offering a training 336 00:18:53.220 --> 00:18:56.940 program dedicated kind of through that type of thing. 337 00:18:58.779 --> 00:19:02.779 So there's a bunch. And again, energy monitoring. You would 338 00:19:02.819 --> 00:19:03.539 be surprised. 339 00:19:04.200 --> 00:19:07.180 On Nextdoor, just in my area, how many people griping 340 00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:10.180 about their energy bills and they don't know why their 341 00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:13.170 house is only 2,000 square foot and their bill is $ 500. 342 00:19:12.829 --> 00:19:16.390 And I have a house and mine's only like $ 200 343 00:19:16.089 --> 00:19:18.869 and they're whining and moaning. I'm like, do you know 344 00:19:19.509 --> 00:19:21.549 what's actually running in your house? Do you know whether 345 00:19:21.569 --> 00:19:23.309 or not you have an air conditioning unit that maybe 346 00:19:23.329 --> 00:19:25.339 is on the fringe of being low in Freon and 347 00:19:25.359 --> 00:19:29.589 all it's doing is cycling all day, all month? And 348 00:19:29.609 --> 00:19:31.069 you don't know any better because you're right there at 349 00:19:31.109 --> 00:19:33.509 the fringe where it feels cool. You think it's working, 350 00:19:33.569 --> 00:19:35.700 but it's cycling on. And you don't even know it. 351 00:19:36.180 --> 00:19:38.700 And that is eating up your electric bill. Or maybe 352 00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:41.680 you have something that's running constantly that you don't even 353 00:19:41.700 --> 00:19:43.539 know about it. A sump pump or whatever that you 354 00:19:43.579 --> 00:19:46.910 have no idea. And this app would be able to 355 00:19:46.970 --> 00:19:48.220 tell you. You'd be able to see it. 356 00:19:49.069 --> 00:19:49.970 So we try. 357 00:19:50.269 --> 00:19:52.690 You how to to sell those type of things and 358 00:19:52.890 --> 00:19:54.940 and to be honest with you our goal is to 359 00:19:55.019 --> 00:20:00.619 put you directly with the products manufacturers. 360

00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:03.240 We don't want to resell you i don't. 361 00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:05.640 Want to make any money off these products but we 362 00:20:05.660 --> 00:20:07.859 want to train you on how to sell them how 363 00:20:07.900 --> 00:20:11.180 to market them how to use them how to train 364 00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:12.220 your staff with them. 365 00:20:12.740 --> 00:20:13.539 That's our goal. 366 00:20:13.880 --> 00:20:15.759 Because at the end of the day, we're not trying 367 00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:20.640 to get rich off of a CMECP program. They're no 368 00:20:20.680 --> 00:20:23.059 different than we were trying to do that when we 369 00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:26.700 never charged renewals for CMECPs. We just want to give 370 00:20:26.980 --> 00:20:35.009 various paths that CMECPs, master electricians can take and further their, 371 00:20:35.269 --> 00:20:38.750 further their career. That's what we want and how they 372 00:20:38.789 --> 00:20:41.190 can stand out amongst the crowd. When you've got two 373 00:20:41.230 --> 00:20:45.099 electricians in a room, what differentiates them when you haven't 374 00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:47.400 even seen the work they do? You don't know anything 375 00:20:47.440 --> 00:20:51.029 about the work they do. What differentiates them is what 376 00:20:51.109 --> 00:20:54.950 certifications they have. That's the difference between licensure and certification, folks. 377 00:20:55.869 --> 00:20:58.769 Licensure is the threshold of what you have to have 378 00:20:58.809 --> 00:21:02.690 to do the work. Certification is letting people know how 379 00:21:02.730 --> 00:21:04.769 you have taken it to the next level and how 380 00:21:04.890 --> 00:21:08.369 you should stand out amongst the crowd. That's the difference. 381 00:21:09.589 --> 00:21:12.599 So that's the kind of things that we want to 382 00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:15.160 focus on. That's the kind of training that we want 383 00:21:15.180 --> 00:21:20.440 to get involved in and really elaborate on it and 384 00:21:20.740 --> 00:21:24.180 try to really enhance it for the electrician, master electrician. 385 00:21:24.819 --> 00:21:26.819 So some people have asked me, they say, Paul, when 386 00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:29.279 you say master electricians, and of course we understand the 387 00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:31.339 journeyman program, you know, you just have to be a journeyman. 388 00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:36.539 The equivalency is what I get a question a lot 389 00:21:36.579 --> 00:21:38.779 from people. What the hell does equivalency mean? Well, it's 390 00:21:38.819 --> 00:21:40.859 pretty straightforward. If you live in a state that doesn't 391 00:21:40.900 --> 00:21:43.339 have master licenses, but you can go from a journeyman 392 00:21:43.380 --> 00:21:46.440 to a contractor, then that's equivalent. 393 00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:49.519 Do you get what I'm saying? If they don't have 394 00:21:49.559 --> 00:21:53.519 a master program, there you go. That's

equivalent. 395 00:21:53.559 --> 00:21:57.019 So say you want your company to be, you know, 396 00:21:57.160 --> 00:22:00.369 because you could go as yourself and become a CMECP. 397 00:22:01.990 --> 00:22:04.509 But you can also go the same path and get 398 00:22:04.529 --> 00:22:10.339 your company to become preferred CMECP. And so that's different 399 00:22:10.380 --> 00:22:14.319 how you hold out your company versus you individually. 400 00:22:14.500 --> 00:22:17.559 And it's all, again, it's choice of what you want, right? 401 00:22:17.980 --> 00:22:20.109 If you get one, if you get the company one, 402 00:22:20.349 --> 00:22:24.490 and you're the main master electrician, then you're CMECP, but 403 00:22:24.509 --> 00:22:27.369 your company also does that. And then that gives you 404 00:22:27.410 --> 00:22:33.079 the ability to offer discounted programs to your employees. Or, 405 00:22:33.099 --> 00:22:35.400 to be honest with you, I think the model is actually, 406 00:22:35.440 --> 00:22:37.700 and I haven't, Jeff has got it, I think the 407 00:22:37.740 --> 00:22:44.819 model is actually, it's included up to four employees can 408 00:22:44.859 --> 00:22:50.109 be under your package. And it's including you, so you're 409 00:22:50.130 --> 00:22:55.150 the fifth one. So I think that it's going to 410 00:22:55.170 --> 00:22:59.329 include all of those paths that you could go down. 411 00:23:00.390 --> 00:23:02.970 Whether you want to do thermography, whether you want to 412 00:23:02.990 --> 00:23:05.490 do the energy monitoring and how you can sell that 413 00:23:05.569 --> 00:23:08.930 and how you would use that to sell. And of 414 00:23:08.970 --> 00:23:13.420 course the permanent exterior lighting, which you could do anyway 415 00:23:13.460 --> 00:23:14.859 if you want to go out and get a dealership 416 00:23:14.940 --> 00:23:15.299 or whatever. 417 00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:16.380 Nobody's stopping you. 418 00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:20.180 But We want to show you not so much how 419 00:23:20.220 --> 00:23:23.420 to install it all together because it's not brain surgery 420 00:23:23.460 --> 00:23:25.779 to do it. You're an electrician. You know how to 421 00:23:25.839 --> 00:23:31.539 do it. The module, the controller simply just plugs into 422 00:23:31.559 --> 00:23:34.549 a receptacle. So you get it, whether it's interior or exterior. 423 00:23:36.089 --> 00:23:38.509 You understand how to do it. So it's not brain surgery. 424 00:23:38.869 --> 00:23:40.650 But many people don't know how to sell it, how 425 00:23:40.670 --> 00:23:43.170 to market it, how to promote it, how you would 426 00:23:43.230 --> 00:23:45.230 door hang, how you would create this. And we're going 427 00:23:45.250 --> 00:23:48.190 to create this stuff for you It makes it a 428 00:23:48.230 --> 00:23:51.539 little easier for you to be able to market it. 429 00:23:52.119 --> 00:23:54.660 So in-house, we're going to do a lot of creation, 430 00:23:54.740 --> 00:23:58.299 a lot

of development, a lot of design, and that 431 00:23:58.359 --> 00:24:01.240 type of thing. So anyway, that's kind of what we 432 00:24:01.299 --> 00:24:04.730 have going on. And that's what's working on in the background. 433 00:24:04.750 --> 00:24:08.710 And when you heard me do a video, I think 434 00:24:08.750 --> 00:24:13.170 it was on TikTok, about retirement, it wasn't so much 435 00:24:13.250 --> 00:24:16.200 that I want to retire from what I do. It's 436 00:24:16.359 --> 00:24:21.200 that I think I'm retiring from trying to appeal to 437 00:24:21.400 --> 00:24:27.809 younger apprentices, non-licensed people, because I really, at the end 438 00:24:27.829 --> 00:24:30.730 of the day, anybody can, you know, I don't know 439 00:24:30.750 --> 00:24:33.750 how good they are. OK, let me just qualify that 440 00:24:33.789 --> 00:24:35.549 by saying that I can't say because I get a 441 00:24:35.589 --> 00:24:37.559 lot of people that come to me after they fail. 442 00:24:38.480 --> 00:24:40.519 I'm just saying they're a dime a dozen. 443 00:24:41.670 --> 00:24:45.089 And it's nearly impossible for a company like me to 444 00:24:45.130 --> 00:24:50.210 compete against people that are giving stuff away for free. Now, 445 00:24:50.809 --> 00:24:53.859 the reason that, you know, somebody says, well, Mike does it. 446 00:24:54.369 --> 00:24:55.230 Well, no, Mike doesn't. 447 00:24:55.309 --> 00:25:00.890 Mike sells his stuff through apprentice programs, training programs, you know, 448 00:25:01.150 --> 00:25:03.589 that type of thing. So that's where the vast majority 449 00:25:03.609 --> 00:25:07.519 of that probably comes from. Not us, because we don't advertise. 450 00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:10.960 I'm not going out anymore hunting for electricians to buy 451 00:25:11.049 --> 00:25:13.329 our Fast Tracks program. If it's up there and they 452 00:25:13.369 --> 00:25:17.390 buy it, it's great. We'll support it. But my focus 453 00:25:17.450 --> 00:25:20.529 is gearing towards what it should have been. Some parts 454 00:25:20.589 --> 00:25:23.650 of me should have been really giving back to the 455 00:25:23.710 --> 00:25:26.589 CMECP program because if you think about the effort that 456 00:25:26.630 --> 00:25:29.940 went through to get these trademarks, and we have two 457 00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:33.099 of them, the CMECP is a trademark and the Frey's. 458 00:25:33.619 --> 00:25:39.390 Certified Master Electrical Co-Professional. That's trademarked as well. So if 459 00:25:39.430 --> 00:25:44.089 you think about the process or the program in itself, 460 00:25:44.410 --> 00:25:47.490 how you go through that, and in the process of 461 00:25:47.589 --> 00:25:51.470 renewing it and keeping it and yada, yada, yada, I 462 00:25:51.549 --> 00:25:55.089 pissed away 10 years of really developing that program where 463 00:25:55.150 --> 00:25:56.049 I thought it should be. 464 00:25:56.910 --> 00:25:58.319 And it's still a great program. 465 00:25:58.890 --> 00:26:01.599 And it really has put out there some really good 466 00:26:01.660 --> 00:26:02.900 electrical professionals. 467 00:26:03.369 --> 00:26:05.430 Right, that are top-notch. 468 00:26:07.170 --> 00:26:11.210 But it could be so much more, and I need 469 00:26:11.250 --> 00:26:13.589 to focus my time on that. That's where I really 470 00:26:13.630 --> 00:26:16.859 need to be. Also, it allows us to do more 471 00:26:16.930 --> 00:26:24.500 potential partnerships with larger companies to bring them training and 472 00:26:25.220 --> 00:26:28.220 be a part of a certified network of professionals that 473 00:26:29.089 --> 00:26:33.009 rather than just the random trying to sell courses to 474 00:26:33.069 --> 00:26:36.410 apprentices and things like that, or journeymen, that type of thing. 475 00:26:36.450 --> 00:26:39.009 Now, like I said, if you're a journeyman and you 476 00:26:39.029 --> 00:26:39.529 get into the. 477 00:26:39.490 --> 00:26:42.130 Program, the goal is that why would you do that 478 00:26:42.230 --> 00:26:45.900 unless your goal is to you want to ultimately be 479 00:26:45.920 --> 00:26:49.220 a master electrician? Because our program will help you become 480 00:26:49.240 --> 00:26:53.700 a master electrician. It will help you pass an exam, okay? Now, 481 00:26:54.700 --> 00:26:58.970 the goal is in a year, Not only have you 482 00:26:59.009 --> 00:27:03.069 passed the master's exam, but now you've already jumped to 483 00:27:03.109 --> 00:27:05.430 the end of the process when it comes to being 484 00:27:05.470 --> 00:27:08.720 a CMECP, all at the same time, in tandem, as 485 00:27:08.740 --> 00:27:11.660 you were doing them, I guess, parallel, I guess. And 486 00:27:12.039 --> 00:27:13.319 all you have to do at the end is the 487 00:27:13.400 --> 00:27:20.640 proctored exam and the essay, currently. So that's the benefit 488 00:27:20.880 --> 00:27:23.339 of the program. You're going to get everything that you 489 00:27:23.359 --> 00:27:27.099 would have gotten as a FastTracks program in But it's 490 00:27:27.279 --> 00:27:31.079 also with the added incentive that you really do want 491 00:27:31.099 --> 00:27:34.569 to become a master electrician, despite what anybody says. If 492 00:27:34.589 --> 00:27:36.880 you have an owner that says, well, you don't need it, 493 00:27:37.549 --> 00:27:41.470 either they feel threatened, that's not up to them. You 494 00:27:41.529 --> 00:27:45.170 want to further your knowledge. That's why people get in 495 00:27:45.210 --> 00:27:50.549 our programs, right? So it doesn't matter what they think. 496 00:27:51.869 --> 00:27:55.150 It's what you do. So you continue to strive for 497 00:27:55.190 --> 00:27:58.890 that perfection. And that's what the CMECP program is all about. 498 00:27:58.950 --> 00:28:02.930 That's what it was designed for. And I'm the first 499 00:28:03.029 --> 00:28:05.960 one to apologize to our CMECPs out there. 500 00:28:06.440 --> 00:28:11.400 And we have some great

guys. They really are. 501 00:28:13.180 --> 00:28:15.279 We don't have any women yet. There's no women in 502 00:28:15.299 --> 00:28:18.170 the program. They're all guys waiting for the next woman 503 00:28:18.210 --> 00:28:18.789 to come through. 504 00:28:18.829 --> 00:28:19.650 Well, we had two women. 505 00:28:20.470 --> 00:28:23.880 Through the years, but they ended up not making it. 506 00:28:23.910 --> 00:28:25.960 They were back when it was the six-month program. So 507 00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:27.880 they had six months and they still couldn't make it. 508 00:28:28.359 --> 00:28:30.140 One of them ran out of time and the other 509 00:28:30.220 --> 00:28:34.539 one failed a unit twice. And after two times, you're out. 510 00:28:34.660 --> 00:28:36.099 And they didn't get back in it. I don't know 511 00:28:36.119 --> 00:28:37.700 if they were intimidated or whatnot. 512 00:28:37.789 --> 00:28:38.160 I don't know. 513 00:28:38.740 --> 00:28:40.930 But they knew the rules up front. Everybody knows the 514 00:28:40.970 --> 00:28:46.009 rules up front, right? And I don't tell you this 515 00:28:46.069 --> 00:28:49.329 to intimidate you. If you're into the profession and you 516 00:28:49.470 --> 00:28:52.430 love what you do and you're an electrician, just like 517 00:28:52.470 --> 00:28:56.009 I tell you doctors go on to be specialists, if 518 00:28:56.049 --> 00:28:59.970 you're an electrician, you should be constantly striving to get 519 00:29:00.029 --> 00:29:03.880 more knowledge. And I can promise you our program will 520 00:29:03.890 --> 00:29:07.640 get you more knowledge. I promise you that. But you'll 521 00:29:07.700 --> 00:29:10.599 also be able to use it for marketing, promotion, advancement. 522 00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:13.859 You'll be able to use it in all sorts of ways. 523 00:29:14.799 --> 00:29:17.910 And you will stand out amongst the crowd. And as 524 00:29:17.970 --> 00:29:21.109 we build this thing out and we start getting partnerships, 525 00:29:22.109 --> 00:29:24.079 then what you're going to see is we're going to 526 00:29:24.119 --> 00:29:29.200 offer so much more. Like individual training for our CMECPs 527 00:29:29.279 --> 00:29:34.509 on things like wire and cable. Yeah, you heard me. Yes, 528 00:29:34.849 --> 00:29:38.069 just what you've been probably thinking. Hey, who else does 529 00:29:38.130 --> 00:29:41.200 Paul work for? Is it possible that he could teach 530 00:29:41.259 --> 00:29:46.940 us everything we need to know about MC cable, AC cable, raceways? 531 00:29:47.539 --> 00:29:47.839 Yes. 532 00:29:49.420 --> 00:29:52.130 So that's where I want to spend my time. I 533 00:29:52.190 --> 00:29:56.390 want to bring this knowledge base that is so beyond 534 00:29:56.769 --> 00:30:01.880 what anybody else could bring. That's what I want to do. Now, 535 00:30:02.140 --> 00:30:04.279 some people have been asking about the Fast Trax tube. 536 00:30:04.299 --> 00:30:07.009 That is not going away. Fast Trax tube is here 537 00:30:07.029 --> 00:30:10.029 to stay. That's a video platform that does very well. 538 00:30:10.089 --> 00:30:13.349 We keep that staying over there. That's our alternative. And 539 00:30:13.369 --> 00:30:14.990 there's no reason we get rid of that because that's 540 00:30:15.019 --> 00:30:15.490 where we want to. 541 00:30:15.490 --> 00:30:16.160 Put our videos. 542 00:30:16.539 --> 00:30:19.880 So I don't want to put them on YouTube. Because again, 543 00:30:20.420 --> 00:30:23.119 we're not no longer giving away anything for free. 544 00:30:23.140 --> 00:30:23.700 You can do that. 545 00:30:23.740 --> 00:30:27.180 There's a plethora of other people online that want to 546 00:30:27.240 --> 00:30:29.539 give away free training. They are the people, if you 547 00:30:29.559 --> 00:30:30.859 don't want to pay for a course, if you don't 548 00:30:30.900 --> 00:30:33.069 care about the Fast Tracks program, or I mean, you 549 00:30:33.109 --> 00:30:35.670 don't care about the CMECP program, go and get the 550 00:30:35.710 --> 00:30:36.190 free stuff. 551 00:30:36.609 --> 00:30:37.210 We don't want you. 552 00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:40.019 We wish you the best of luck, but don't go 553 00:30:40.099 --> 00:30:43.119 calling me when you can't understand something and you come 554 00:30:43.200 --> 00:30:43.779 crying to me. 555 00:30:43.839 --> 00:30:45.579 Paul, I need you to teach me how to do 556 00:30:45.619 --> 00:30:46.549 this calculation. 557 00:30:46.720 --> 00:30:48.950 I don't want to hear that shit. I'm tired of it. 558 00:30:49.349 --> 00:30:52.309 I've been doing this for too many damn years. Well, Paul, 559 00:30:52.349 --> 00:30:54.269 you're a sellout. All you care about is the money. 560 00:30:54.309 --> 00:30:55.509 You fucking right that is. 561 00:30:55.609 --> 00:30:55.849 True. 562 00:30:57.450 --> 00:31:00.859 That is 100% true. I have no desire anymore to 563 00:31:00.960 --> 00:31:03.119 give it away. Let other people do that. 564 00:31:03.660 --> 00:31:04.240 I'm not interested. 565 00:31:04.259 --> 00:31:05.519 Okay? 566 00:31:06.099 --> 00:31:06.660 So anyway. 567 00:31:07.680 --> 00:31:09.880 If I offended you by that language, I'm sorry. You're 568 00:31:09.900 --> 00:31:11.859 probably not somebody we want in a program anyway, so 569 00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:15.299 move your ass on. So anyway, we're training. We're going 570 00:31:15.319 --> 00:31:17.400 to train better electricians. That's what we're going to do. 571 00:31:17.700 --> 00:31:20.140 We're going to train better electricians. We're going to give 572 00:31:20.160 --> 00:31:23.680 them the tools and the resources. And wherever I can 573 00:31:23.740 --> 00:31:26.079 find discounts, I'm going to try to get them discounts 574 00:31:26.119 --> 00:31:29.579 on things like thermal cameras and anything that they can 575 00:31:29.720 --> 00:31:33.079 add to their business model. Because you know what? The 576 00:31:33.240 --> 00:31:36.519 more add-on services that

you can add to your business... 577 00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:40.880 is going to make more money. And that's what it's 578 00:31:40.920 --> 00:31:44.140 all about. People say, well, money's not everything. 579 00:31:44.309 --> 00:31:48.089 You're full of crap. Money is everything. Everything. Well, money 580 00:31:48.109 --> 00:31:51.190 can't buy happiness. Look, if you're miserable before you had money, 581 00:31:51.490 --> 00:31:53.609 you're going to be miserable after you have money. But 582 00:31:53.630 --> 00:31:59.230 you know what? Having money and being successful really does 583 00:31:59.829 --> 00:32:02.869 make life better. If you say, well, it doesn't. I 584 00:32:02.890 --> 00:32:04.650 made a lot of money and I was miserable. That's 585 00:32:04.690 --> 00:32:07.230 because you were freaking miserable before you got the money. 586 00:32:08.240 --> 00:32:09.299 I can't fix that. 587 00:32:10.789 --> 00:32:12.609 But I can tell you right now, my life has 588 00:32:12.710 --> 00:32:16.609 always been so much better when I had money than 589 00:32:16.650 --> 00:32:20.130 it did when I did not have money. So I 590 00:32:20.170 --> 00:32:21.950 want to see your business grow. I want to see 591 00:32:21.970 --> 00:32:24.490 you as an electrician grow. I want to weed out 592 00:32:24.549 --> 00:32:28.099 these people who post the shit online because I can 593 00:32:28.140 --> 00:32:30.980 tell you right now, if we ever get a CMECP, 594 00:32:31.690 --> 00:32:35.109 that posts shit on social media that is wrong or misleading, 595 00:32:35.650 --> 00:32:37.269 they are out of the program because we're going to 596 00:32:37.289 --> 00:32:38.569 have a new ethics program. 597 00:32:40.069 --> 00:32:40.309 Okay? 598 00:32:40.650 --> 00:32:44.430 There's already been one person who's been kicked out of 599 00:32:44.450 --> 00:32:45.609 the CMECP program. 600 00:32:46.329 --> 00:32:49.509 And y'all know who it is. And he got kicked 601 00:32:49.549 --> 00:32:51.069 out of that program because of ethics. 602 00:32:52.430 --> 00:32:52.730 Okay? 603 00:32:53.910 --> 00:33:00.700 Selling illegal or counterfeit code books. That is not cool 604 00:33:00.759 --> 00:33:04.470 for us. and then acting like a dick afterwards. 605 00:33:04.970 --> 00:33:05.130 Right? 606 00:33:05.250 --> 00:33:08.210 So at the end of the day, there's a reason 607 00:33:08.569 --> 00:33:12.089 that we do what we do. And, uh, so if 608 00:33:12.109 --> 00:33:16.309 you're interested in it, check out our website, cmcp.org. Uh, 609 00:33:16.329 --> 00:33:19.380 you're going to see it change here soon. Um, we're 610 00:33:19.390 --> 00:33:20.400 not going to make it too dramatic. 611 00:33:20.420 --> 00:33:21.359 Okay. 612 00:33:21.420 --> 00:33:23.200 Cause people are used to the, what the site looks 613 00:33:23.240 --> 00:33:26.099 like and yada, yada, yada, but you're going to see 614 00:33:26.140 --> 00:33:29.240 some changes and we're, we're excited about it. 615 00:33:29.259

--> 00:33:32.170 We're going to, we're going to, uh, introduce a bunch of. 616 00:33:32.150 --> 00:33:35.049 Things and, uh, you know, and, and one of the 617 00:33:35.069 --> 00:33:37.710 things that we are introducing is whether or not we 618 00:33:37.970 --> 00:33:45.019 go back to third party course material rather than our 619 00:33:45.099 --> 00:33:48.019 own material. And the reason for that is we did 620 00:33:48.039 --> 00:33:50.539 it years ago with the CME CP program was because 621 00:33:50.579 --> 00:33:56.480 we wanted to be totally neutral on the material. And 622 00:33:56.920 --> 00:33:59.480 just try to take your game to the next level 623 00:33:59.529 --> 00:34:03.289 and be totally neutral. And it worked out. I thought 624 00:34:03.309 --> 00:34:09.389 it was pretty good. So we may introduce that back again. 625 00:34:09.630 --> 00:34:12.269 This is fluid. I have a meeting with Jeff. We're 626 00:34:12.289 --> 00:34:15.239 going to get together. I have a couple of the 627 00:34:15.320 --> 00:34:18.800 CMECPs that I want to have join me in the 628 00:34:18.860 --> 00:34:20.719 conversation and get their feelings on it. 629 00:34:21.320 --> 00:34:22.440 Some that have been around a while. 630 00:34:23.170 --> 00:34:25.389 And we're going to make these changes, but I can 631 00:34:25.429 --> 00:34:27.269 tell you right now, you're going to see a major 632 00:34:27.449 --> 00:34:30.389 focus shift. And if you want to get in now, 633 00:34:31.190 --> 00:34:34.349 you better get in now. Because I guarantee you when 634 00:34:34.369 --> 00:34:38.639 this blows up, the prices will go up. Because you 635 00:34:38.679 --> 00:34:42.440 know what? You're going to have marketing edge over the competition. 636 00:34:43.079 --> 00:34:43.639 Absolutely. 637 00:34:44.239 --> 00:34:44.340 So. 638 00:34:44.989 --> 00:34:46.250 All right, folks, that's it. 639 00:34:46.489 --> 00:34:47.969 I just want to give you a quick update on 640 00:34:47.989 --> 00:34:50.590 what's going on and let you in on the loop. 641 00:34:51.570 --> 00:34:54.090 So I'm not going off to pasture to eat my cud. 642 00:34:54.530 --> 00:34:58.090 I'm actually just shifting the focus for the company and 643 00:34:58.230 --> 00:35:03.179 dedicating and finally giving some love to these CMECPs. 644 00:35:03.340 --> 00:35:05.139 Until next time, folks, stay safe.
