Because that's what we really want. This is small town USA, and we want people walking from shop to shop. That's what we're trying to build. So this is the beginning of it and it's hard and the city has planted the seeds. So you know just folks like me wanting to get involved and try to do what we can to revitalize the city, and it's exciting time, yeah.
Speaker 3:
Strong Dads wants to thank Quality Auto Mart in service for being a proud sponsor of the Strong Dads podcast, started in 1985 and going strong for all these years. Recently, quality Auto Mart has transitioned from owners of Mark and Nancy Repke to longtime employee Fred and Lorraine Venus. For all your automotive needs and golf cart needs, check out Quality Auto Mart, located across from Indian Lakes on Highway 46 outside of Batesville, indiana. I think it's just worth talking a little bit about the town here. At Lawrenceburg you decided to invest a little bit more in the town. Why did you do that?
Speaker 1:
Well, I think, as I kind of changed, retired from my first career, I started wanting to get more and more involved in the community and getting involved with people in ways that I could just help folks. So I started coming downtown and I saw a lot of opportunities to make things nicer. And I wasn't the first person. I started seeing things that were happening downtown that were nice, like our friends at Strong's Pizza, the business they opened up and all the work that the city council and Kelly Milan, the mayor, was doing downtown, and I thought there's some neat things that could happen. So I started to look at stuff and purchase real estate and a business down here. So that's how it got started.
Speaker 3:
Yeah Well, I mean, it all kind of really started in the Lawrenceburg area just whether people want to admit it or like it or not when they brought the gambling boat in and it kind of brought life back into this old decrepit town, didn't it?
Speaker 1:
Yeah, I think what it is allowed is consistent investment. I think, as the city government's gotten better and better seeing where to invest that money, it's bringing the city back to life, and that's what you see here happening, and so it allows people that are investors to put money into things and to be able to make them something pleasant for the community, desirable for the community to come down here. So it's just putting the puzzle pieces together, one at a time, and you have a lot of people that are trying to do that.
Speaker 3:
So, like right over here, there was never such a thing as this.
Speaker 1:
Now we have the event center, which was, I think, that's probably about 10 years old it is and it's a beautiful event center and you know, every time they have an event, all the businesses in this community thrive, so it's a really nice thing.
Speaker 3:
Yeah, and over here we've got the Ivy Tech building, and on the other side of that building is the Ohio River. So there's a lot of different things in Lawrenceburg that are just attracted to people and grab people's attention. Yeah, all right, so we're almost at your next building.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, these are two buildings that I worked on and fixed up. Okay, you know this building here and this beauty salon. Brooke, who has this beauty salon, has been really successful downtown. It's kind of a high end one. And then we have an apartment with a mother with three children living upstairs in a nice apartment. And then this was an old tattoo parlor, if you remember I do and we remodeled that. It was pretty decrepit and we remodeled that. We have a single mom living up above and we have a dog who's?
Speaker 1:
really happy. Yes, that's the local music shop.
Speaker 3:
Yeah, okay, so we're getting close to the ice house.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, one thing I see is we need to come here and I don't know to what extent you've been part of it but the new and the old kind of construction you obviously look at the event center and on our so our right you can see the older type construction. I mean, how much is that kind of the lore of kind of bringing people to Lawrenceburg, kind of having a new and the old field? Is that part of kind of the excitement of Lawrenceburg?
Speaker 1:
Yeah, I think it's a big part of it. There's a historical committee that you know wants to preserve the old feel of this town, and so being able to bring those things together and preserve that is important to everyone.
Speaker 3:
Alright, so here we are at the Ice House.
Speaker 1:
This was originally a stupe baker dealership and my friend, mike Rezzo, and his father ended up purchasing this building, running a construction company out of it, and then it was kind of it was a reputation for kind of a rough bar and our desire is really to be in the food business. We do sell alcohol, but that's what we want to do to have exciting food, we want to be foodies and we think about having friends at our table. So we kind of put this in place. This will be our third year of operation and obviously it's wintertime so it's shut down. But we put real ester turf down. It's dog friendly so you could bring your dog and so people can sit out here with umbrellas and enjoy the outside. We have fire pits and we have live music in the summertime, so that's what you're seeing here. Obviously we don't do that this time of year, but here we have a restaurant and that we're open seven days a week.
Speaker 3:
Yeah, now, I actually remember this building as a bike shop. Yeah, the back of bike shop.
Speaker 1:
That's exactly it. There was a very small bike shop back there at one time and I think when I got involved it's really when I bought proofs that some people had started on this building and I got involved to put the money in it, to finish this building, to do everything it needed to do to be a restaurant, like put the coolers in the freezers, the cooking equipment, the tables, all that stuff.
Speaker 3:
Yeah, All right. So where do you want to take us now? You got another building you're working on.
Speaker 1:
Well, I do about. At the end of that street, so that's probably a half a mile walk, I finished a house. I was telling you earlier when I looked at that house there were actually drug needles on the side of that house and it was all torn down, boarded up and I just love fixing stuff like that. And so we went in, turned it into a beautiful little home and the garage, the roof that caved in on the two car garage and there was a vulture living in there and there was a snake up there too. And so my buddy Gus ran those things off and we built an apartment on top of that or a house on top of that garage, and so we have a young family living in the front and a single older woman living in the back and I feel great about that Beautiful house.
Speaker 1:
The people that live around it can go, hey, they can be proud of it. And these are the things to start people investing, saying maybe I can make my lawn a little bit nicer. Yeah, they want to make my house a little better, but that's a lot of fun. One of my favorite things to do is to buy broken stuff and make it nicer.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, that's both pretty cool. I like it.
Speaker 1:
This was a studer baker dealership. They went right in there in here. I know you can't see it. Underneath that table is the pit where they would stand there and change oil. You want to go in there If you want? If you want, yeah, yeah, nice, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, nice. But this is my buddy Mike's dream and underneath that that'll be lit up eventually and we'll put some cool stuff down there. But that's the pit where they used to pull stew to bakers in here and actually change it. Yeah, worked out from underneath. Wow, we have multiple big tables. We have families that sit at these tables. Yeah, and I didn't like the idea at first, but Mike liked it and we did it, and it's really cool to see big families sit here and enjoy it. We have one here and one in there, so that one was made out of a bowling alley. This bar was made out of an old bowling alley.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, so we've got that, and then here, was a local bowling alley.
Speaker 1:
Here Are there. I really don't know, to be honest with you, but it's people like to come in here and have lunch, walk down here, teach people in the town, and so a lot of friends meet here. Yeah, very cool, there's your party costume yeah it's right over there. Let's take us back into group.
Speaker 3:
You think we can have lunch today? Yeah, that'd be great. It's all about I mean, I want to interview you and everything, but it's really all about the food. So it's all about Murrow getting his food, this building was an old fire house.
Speaker 2:
You see the bell up there. Yeah.
Speaker 1:
And upstairs was the police station and I'm not perfect on all the history, but you can see those bars. That was a holding cell and it's still there. It's really good, the doors all steel. And so Mike Rezzo and Darren Harris in the city collaborated on that, Brian Messmore with the city, and they did that and I think the restaurant Strong's improved for the two keys to bringing excitement to this city. Without those two, those investments being made in that excitement, to me that's a lot of the stuff that's going on. To me that's a lot of the spark. I mean, I know the casino, but when you talk about regular people getting involved in the city, the city doing something, this in Strong's is hey, we can do something here. So really key to me to getting involved in the ice house and getting involved in this building next door.
Speaker 3:
All right, I'll say it again Welcome to Strong Dads doing real life. And so now we are inside Proof 124 and we are with the owner and our man, Tony Schroeder. Tony, thanks for first off, thanks for lunch, man.
Speaker 2:
It was good, very good.
Speaker 3:
Now, if I fall asleep in the middle of this, you'll know why.
Speaker 2:
We got full belly and now we're going to sit down and get some conversation going.
Speaker 3:
Yeah, well, I do. We want to thank you just for joining us. You were on our Strong Dads show quite a few years back. Yes, I know Talking about some things, but we're doing some things differently now, and that is actually seeing what men actually do. And so if you haven't already, guys, go back and watch the first part of the show here, where you actually kind of showed us where your heart lies. We walked around through the city of Lawrenceburg and where you've kind of had a passion to bring life back into what was fading or nearly dying and to revitalize. And, in particular, you've got a niche for the restaurant business, and so we just want to thank you, but we're going to get into a little bit of that. Okay, you know, the question kind of always is when we do Strong Dads, doing real life, so what's God got to do with all this? You know, like, why are you still doing this? You could do other things Right. Why are you beating yourself up with starting restaurants, which there's a lot of other ways to make money?
Speaker 2:
And, like we talked about, it's also very difficult.
Speaker 3:
Yeah.
Speaker 2:
We were talking about while we're eating, how it can be difficult at times, right.
Speaker 3:
Yeah, right. So what's, what's going on with that and where's God?
Speaker 1:
Well, I guess I have to start that I have an eternal perspective, and that is that every one of us will live forever, and if we want to live with God, we do that through Jesus Christ. So that's clear in my mind. So, along with that, I don't believe in retirement. I will never retire, even if I'm sitting in a nursing home. God will have something that I can provide, and that's on my mind. So the last time I was with you guys, I talked a lot about intersecting with young men and trying to help them achieve their dreams, and a lot of the same thing is happening in the restaurant business, because I'm involved with lots of different, lots of different people young men and women that have dreams and, even more importantly, they have bills to pay.
Speaker 2:
Yeah.
Speaker 1:
They have children, they have life, and so, for me, where does God play a role in this? Well, I think God expects me, as a Christian businessman, to behave a certain way in a world that doesn't always want you to follow the rules, pay your taxes properly, you know, maybe care about people in the way that we want to try to care about people. Yeah, does that make sense?
Speaker 3:
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you know, we talked before about you starting restaurants and in the restaurant world you have a lot of customers, a lot of clients, but you also have a lot of employees. Yeah, I don't know. Do you know how many employees you have on hand?
Speaker 1:
I would say 125.
Speaker 3:
125 employees? Yeah, all right. And so in the restaurant world, you get a lot of people working in that world, our people who are trying to make a living, a lot of moms, right, a lot of ladies there, whether they're waitressing. You've talked about how you can feed into their life as well, more than just a paycheck. What? Why is that such so inviting and interesting to you?
Speaker 1:
Because it's not enough just to work with people. You know, being the someone who's spent almost 30 years in a career in a company, you start realizing the people you work with are your family. Yeah, they are. I think when I get up in the morning and I my wife and I we pray together and we go out in the world, we realize the people that we intersect with every day are the people that God wants us to try to help care for love. I don't know how to do that.
Speaker 1:
I'm sure that I'm sometimes ashamed of you know some of those, you know getting upset and things like that, but the reality is, whoever I intersect with today is who's got put in my path to do something positively with, and so that's important. So we met a young lady who's going to have a baby April 7th, right, and we talked to her and she's a great employee and you know I think about you know I told her I wanted to pray for, you know, her pregnancy, but I also think about you know what could we do as a family, as a restaurant family, nice, to show her appreciation for doing a great job and having a baby and that? What could we show to love her. Those things are in my mind, so God put that in front of me today and I had to write a town and make a note. But that's something that I'm paying attention to.
Speaker 1:
So these are the types of things that happen in life. We also I showed you some of the real estate I purchased. I probably have eight or nine families in renting real estate from me that work for us and I love that because I get to see the kids at Christmas. A lot of things that are going on, a lot of the challenges and trying to provide as nice as I can, a place for the money for them to live. And these are just ways, just trying to be involved in their life and look for opportunities to help.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, well, I will say one thing that I noticed, speaking of the young lady that's pregnant, you put in your calendar what went her due date. And something that I believe in my wife and I we talked a lot is, if you want to know what a person's about, look at their calendar in a break account. And the fact that you prioritize one of your employees you know to you may not be, you know, that big deal right for her. It's a life altering. We talked about how your life will never be the same right. The fact that you prioritize what's going on in her life by putting in your calendar, I think says a lot about who you are and that relational aspect that you kind of touched on a little bit.
Speaker 1:
You know, my youngest son said something very wise to me yesterday when we were talking up here. We have a business meeting here. He said, dad, the way I look at it, I'm here to serve.
Speaker 1:
I serve people and that's they. Know it, so they I'm able to work well with them and I think the same thing about us and that's how I'm here to serve. All the things that you need to survive in life, they will come. When you serve and love other people, they really will. I've never felt abandoned by my community or people. People rise to the occasion when you're in trouble if you try to serve. And guess what? I didn't figure that out, jesus Christ taught me that.
Speaker 1:
That's where it came from and a lot of people you guys have modeled that for me and lots of people have modeled that for me and I'm just trying to do my part to model it for others.
Speaker 3:
Tony, I can't help but think that as a businessman and you've had some reasonable success on the financial side of that that there are naysayers out there, that there are people who would think, yeah, tony's always got a motive, or Tony's trying to turn a buck, or Tony's all about the money or whatever. It just seems to come with the turf of being in the business world or at least people seeing you as successful. How do you respond to that? That people think that they question, maybe, your motives?
Speaker 1:
Tony. Well, I think it's something that all of us have to be cognizant of and I have to respond the way Jesus would call me to respond, and that's with love. Don't always do it well, but it's a reality of the world that we live in and I can't really get away from it. But you know, when you focus on helping other people, that noise kind of goes away. I'm not waking up wondering who's talking bad about me or who's whatever, because I'm too busy. I have people in my life who I'm in relationship with and we're trying to do life together in an impactful way and we're looking to see who can we help and how can we help in learning every day. So the noise just isn't there and.
Speaker 1:
I think that's how I do it. I just focus on what I can control. We talk about that in business. When you feel overwhelmed, you've got to focus on what you control, and I love Philippians 4-4. We talked about it when we started our meeting yesterday. Don't be anxious about anything but prayer and supplication, which we talk about Thanksgiving. Make your request known to the Lord, and so I lay that in him, and I think that's how you live your life calmer.
Speaker 3:
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2:
We'll touch a little bit. It's obviously as a business man and having the number of employees you do, I'm sure there's a lot of pressure that comes along with that, a lot of stress that can come. How do you balance that stress, that work life balance of still being a provider for your family but also, you know, as a follower of Christ, like we're called to do certain things? You know kind of talk a little bit about that kind of that balance of having stress that we all have and work, but also you know showing up and providing for your family, showing up and providing for your employees.
Speaker 1:
Kind of talk a little bit about that, yeah well, I think as we get older we get wiser, right. You know, I remember my father always telling me, and he always relied on God. He always said things will work out. And I've kind of thought about that and that's kind of Romans 828, all things work together for the good of those who love the Lord and called according to his purpose. There was scripture in what he would say and it always does work out. I've been through bankruptcy before, in 2006, and that was a tough, a very, very tough time. I thought to myself God, what are you doing and how can you bring glory to yourself through this? But wow, did he rock my world? Because that was the beginning of a lot of business success for me. And so I learned, you know, when I see a dark cloud, it's not necessarily dark and we've got, we have hope right.
Speaker 3:
Yeah.
Speaker 1:
I never give up. I never stop turning over the next dough, never try to. We never stop coming up with the next idea. There is pressure for people. Some people if all the businesses I'm involved with and I have some without restaurants if they all went away tomorrow, some people just go to find other jobs. Some people would really get hurt. It would be a big impact on them. They really put a lot in that and that's difficult. But I'm clear. We work on the things that we can control and we turn the rest over to God. That's how we deal with it. And hey, when I go. When I was a young man I went home to my kids and they met me at the door. I learned really quick to leave the work at work because my little boy or my little daughter did not care about what I was at my time.
Speaker 1:
And so I think, as we grow older, we've being a man means being a man and we've got to let that stuff go. And you can do it with God's help, and I did it, I did do it, and so I like to encourage young men hey, you can do this and this is how it's done. You got to be in God's word. You guys know a lot of those practices when you talk about them every week, but if we let the pressure of the world bear down on us, we would all curl up in a ball, and so we can't do that. That's God. Most of that stuff belongs to God.
Speaker 3:
Yeah, it reminds me of just you're never as bad as you think you are, you're never as great as you think you are right.
Speaker 3:
And so finding that place that no, I'm just a child of God and he's in control, and that type of thing as you're talking I'm thinking too about a lot of times in the restaurant business. Restaurant work oftentimes is a stepping stone to the next place. Right, I'm gonna work here for a while while I'm in college, while I'm in school, and then I'm gonna go get my career and you're gonna get a lot of that right. But there's some people that say, no, this is gonna be my career, and so you invest in them. But I look at it too as you, as the owner, have an opportunity to invest in everyone. They're not just a number who's ringing out a register or something. And so I've noticed just from us walking around here today, the number of your employees and stuff that appreciate that you're around, that you're talking with them and that kind of thing, and so I think that that fair as well, for the sake that the employees feel valued.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, I think that that's important. I think in a lot of ways I don't believe I'm all that and I don't even often think that that's important. And even as an owner I don't do I don't pretend that I do a whole lot of work. I make sure that the restaurant is viable. We work on key things taking care of customers, finances, food costs these things that make the restaurant work. They have to be there, right?
Speaker 1:
So I don't do the hard work, but isn't it interesting and we need to remember this as fathers and as leaders in our communities is people do wanna be recognized by us, whoever we are, men and women in whatever we do, we have any type of leadership. It's important because I know I can tell it matters, because I get notes from people and so I think I'm just walking in sometimes and they don't really care about me. But then people like Well, we love it when you come here. You know we like seeing you here and all this stuff. So you know we got to really pay attention to that. I think, especially as we get older and maybe have some more wisdom or comfort, I think maybe people can feed off our peace Right you know, that we're a little bit more comfortable in our own skin.
Speaker 1:
You know, I don't spend a lot of time with an mirror anymore, you know, so I'm a little bit more comfortable with who I am, so I think that's important.
Speaker 3:
Yeah, that's good stuff. So, Tony, we're starting to wind things down here a little bit. So, thinking about strong dads, thinking about young strong dads, you've given some a couple tidbits of information or whatever. What are some last things that you, if you could talk to the Tony Schroeder of 25 to 30 years old, what would you say to him?
Speaker 1:
Well, I think I am much more of a proponent of families than I've ever been, and finding that special woman is a humongous gift and we currently in our society that's very confused. I do think I'm proud of. I'm proud to try to be involved in some, both men's life, to try to help them be the kind of men that they should be. I wish I was that person. I remember turning 21 or 22, getting a job and all these men who went to church and things behaved totally different on the road and I thought, oh, is this how the world is supposed to be? I guess so, and I made some bad choices.
Speaker 1:
But now, when I look back, it's really waiting on God, being patient for what God has to my life, trusting that he has that right person for my life, and wanting to have a family, get involved in a church, have a career Not everybody has to make lots of money but to live a life within your means and be involved in your community and just live life, celebrate holidays together. Those are the things that I wished I would have paid more attention to, because I had a lot more. Having to accomplish can do things that hold zero meaning to me today, and so I look for opportunities to get together with my friends and family. That's a wonderful thing, and I just wish I would have been more patient waiting on.
Speaker 3:
God, all right. Yeah, that's good, good. So what's on the horizon of the next year or two for Tony Schroeder or any workings that you're in, like you got something big coming, anything you want to. Breaking news.
Speaker 2:
You want to let out to the world. We get about a million million viewers. Ok, Let it out right now.
Speaker 1:
Let it all out there. Well, so the next big project we have is right across the street. There's a bank. I think it's from probably the 20s. There's a plaque on the wall I should know that. My memory's not good.
Speaker 1:
It was an Italian building. It was originally a bank and then it was the Carpenter's Union for years. And my partner, Ernesto, that does all the hard work he's a young man you've probably met and then some other people in our company, including my boys. We're going to open an Italian steakhouse there, and so we're going to have a beautiful patio and the inside of the building's got a safe in the middle. We're going to leave the safe and try to fit it into what we're doing, and we're going to have an enclosed space. It's going to be more four seasons. We're going to really work on trying to do that, and so we hope to be done sometime in early 2025. We're just finalizing our drawings and our structure engineering drawings and we're filing for our permits, and so I hope to be. We already put a new roof and we painted it. It was a little bit of an eyesore.
Speaker 1:
So we went ahead and painted this, so it looks a lot better, and so that's our plan to start working on that it's maybe sometime in April and then to finish that project.
Speaker 3:
Is there a name for this restaurant, or can you not let that animal out yet?
Speaker 1:
There is not a name. Ok, we have come up with several names, but I don't think we still have a plan. We have some family in Italy. We plan to make a trip to them, get some family recipes. And we have some ideas on some names. So for us, our family went from Verona, italy, to Norwood, ohio. And we want to show this transition to Lawrenceburg, indiana. Ok, and so that's what we'll be doing, and that's our dream to do a restaurant like that. So that's the next thing, that's on the rise, all right.
Speaker 3:
So that's something to look forward to, and hopefully the first part of 2025. Yes, that would be our goal. That's awesome. That's awesome. But, tony, I want to thank you. I want to thank you for your time. We've occupied a little bit of your time here today. We appreciate you being willing to do that. Guys, if you want to know more about what it is to be a strong dad, we ask that you reach out. You can get ahold of us at rocksolidfamiliesorg. You know stuff that you heard today out of Tony and Kyle and myself.

None of us walk through this world perfectly. We stumble, we get confused, we get sidetracked by shiny things, right, that grab our eye, but at some point in time, you have to get rescentered and know what you're getting rescentered on, and, tony, you shared a lot of that and I know more of your stories. God resented you very strongly at certain times, and so that's part of the process of going through that purification, right, and so we thank you for sharing that story and, if there's any of you guys out there that are watching or listening, stop living other people's lives. Live your own life and do well by your family, right? I mean, that's where we start, that's where the whole foundation for what us men, for what we stand for, that's where we got to start. So, and you shared that well, so we thank you for that.
Speaker 2:
So thanks for having me, yeah thanks so much, tony, for coming on the show. Yeah, I think the big takeaway is that we're not asking or guys aren't asking strong dads to be perfect and be active, be active, be active, be aggressive in that.
Speaker 3:
So yeah, and come down and visit Proof 124 or Ice House or 4 Speed on 50 Diner or Hebrew Grill, that's great. Yeah, thank you, yeah, and so go visit those and Tony will take care of you there. So all right, thank you, kyle, sign us out.
Speaker 2:
All right, appreciate it guys. Go out there and meet some strong dads.
