How Can Marvel Re-Engage Their Fans? | Pardon The Disruption
Ever wondered how to handle a smear campaign among friends or manage a tough business rivalry? Brace yourself as we bring to light these difficult situations in an energizing discussion on Pardon the Disruption. We offer a variety of perspectives on these delicate matters, from understanding the source of the issue to suggesting a calculated retaliation. We remind you of the importance of confirming before reacting and reveal the potential consequences of airing conflicts on social media.
From personal conflicts, we move towards the realm of pop culture, scrutinizing the current state of Marvel's fanbase. Are businesses supposed to sell what their audiences desire or should they be pushing an agenda? We tackle this compelling question. Shifting gears, we also discuss the future of remote work, with a lively debate on whether CEOs are wrong for wanting their employees back in the office. We weigh the pros and cons of remote work, the employer-employee relationship, and the challenge of convincing employees to return to the office.
Our discussion doesn't end there. We delve into the intersection of US-China relations and real estate, questioning the wisdom of presidential involvement in such matters. We conclude by sharing thoughts on how to add value to a company, be humble, and exceed expectations. We guarantee to enlighten you with our dynamic conversation, packed with insights and advice. Let's dive into the disruption together!

For those that are tuning in for the first time, we're gonna give you a breakdown of how this works. We have five preselected questions, all thoroughly researched by our panelists. Of course, they will have 45 seconds to answer. Then they will have two minutes to go ahead and chop it up and after that they will get a point. If they win the argument, we're gonna go ahead and start out with introductions. Last week, our winner, steve train. Mr Disruptor, go ahead and introduce yourself.
Speaker 2:Hey, what's going on everybody, I'm glad we have the a squad back together. I'm looking forward to an amazing show. There's a. There's a something I think are just gonna want to share. It's something I'm really proud that he's able to get you know. Every once in a while, when someone's down, you want to help lift them up, lift their spirits, do something kind, and so you know, our just been on a down streak no one's laughing at his jokes and we wanted to really help him out. So Really excited for that.
Speaker 3:He looks like a down streak. Oh man, all right. Next up we have Leon. Do not forget the G barns with collective genius.
Speaker 1:Go ahead and introduce yourself. What's up everyone? I'm excited to have the squad back it. If you've noticed lately, my shoulders have been slumped.
Speaker 4:I've been carrying the show for the last two weeks Our day and CJ back. Man, it's. It's been a while excited to have you guys back on the show and actually have some dialogue.
Speaker 1:Oh man, I told you you guys are in for a treat today, coming to us From DFW, we have Mr RJ Bates, the third introduce yourself. Yeah, I'm excited to be back. Actually, I'm excited to be back.
Speaker 5:The third introduce yourself yeah, I'm excited to be back. Actually think I'm on a three in a row win streak, going all the way back to win, apparently for winning the live event. I got this hockey jersey right, king Kloger on the back love it. I'm excited to be here to hang out with Leon CJ. And don't forget the 33rd best wholesale podcast host.
Speaker 2:Let us see the whole jersey.
Speaker 5:I showed you.
Speaker 2:Everyone else, everyone else. There we go, the first live PTD event absolutely.
Speaker 1:We sent that to you just so we didn't have to hear about those damn belts anymore. Brother, that's what that's for. Last certainly not least, we have Mr pixelated over there with a Mac. Today we got Chris Jefferson CJ. Go ahead and introduce yourself.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I come before you homely today In one K. It's good to be here. I missed last week, apparently, rj. You know, of course, somebody into giving him a victory again. Good for him, but it's good to be back. Good to see you, gentlemen, and let's get into it. Absolutely, it is great to have you guys back.
Speaker 1:Let's go ahead and get into it with question number one. Will Smith's friend is on a smearing campaign against Will Smith, stating wild claims against the actor. What would you do if your alleged friend is smearing you and saying things about you? Start us off, steve.
Speaker 2:I think my initial reaction would be hurt and I know that I am apparently known for not having a lot of feelings, but I'll be hurt, right? I mean, if Leon RJ right, which is like saying all these awful things about me, that's, that's probably the first place I would go. I would seek to understand, but then I'll probably, at the end, pull the CJ right is like hey, I understand, you said some things and I want to understand where it's coming from maybe.
Speaker 2:Maybe it's better right here, directly from you. There you go, right. But then you know at the end, if they're really saying these things, then they're just cut off, right. They're going to fall into that category of dead to me which unfortunately, just grows, it seems like every year. So when I retaliate probably not, they just be dead to me, and I think people privately would know the full story, which you guys know some of other full stories privately, and then we would just move on and treat as live, as if they don't exist. There we go, got to shed dead weight, go ahead and grow. That's how that works. All right, leon, what about?
Speaker 1:you.
Speaker 4:Well, I would continue to do what I'm doing, which is show up to this podcast every single week so I can continue to get slandered right here on YouTube Every single week. Are saying bad things about me on this show. I can't believe that Steve didn't go that route. My goodness, we do that every single week on this show. If they're a true friend, you can give it and you can take it. So if you're a true friend, this sounds like to me that this isn't a true friend. If they're slandering you, if they are saying bad things about you and my goodness will doesn't seem to have anybody in his corner these days Talk about someone that's gone from the top of the heap, unfortunately, to the bottom really, really quickly there, but it seems like Hollywood built you up just to tear you down. But I enjoy coming on this show every single week and getting torn down so I can be better as a human being. Thank you guys for making me better.
Speaker 1:There we go. That's the greatest acceptance speech I've ever heard. I love it. Somebody give the man RJ's jersey. There we go, let's go. All right, rj, what about you on this one? What are you doing, boss?
Speaker 5:Yeah. So when I saw the question come across, I got worried because I was like I've missed the past couple weeks and I felt like this was because, you know, I'm constantly saying that Steve Trang only accepts three star reviews on real Trumpers. I've claimed that Leon G Barnes is a serial killer. I've claimed that CJ can't afford a 1080p web fan because of the reporters from the universe here Miami. I openly call Matthew Potter a socialist. So I just thought it was about what I said to all my friends. I mean, if someone were smearing me, I'm going to say these things, that I'm just going to call them and say yo, what's up like? If we have a problem, let's deal with it right here and there. Let's not, you know, take it to social media or behind my back. Let's just deal with it and come to come to terms.
Speaker 1:There we go. All right, and, by the way, rj, just so you know, for full transparency, yes, this question is about you. Just so that you know. We're all figuring out what we're going to do to you. All right, cj, what are your thoughts, man?
Speaker 3:I just pull up, you know, I pull up strong, you know, and I'd say, hey, I heard you had, you know. Listen, I've maybe done this before right. Like you know what's up, I heard you had this to say. I would make sure I got confirmation first. I think sometimes people act a lot often without confirmation of things right and react, and generally, when you don't have confirmation and you react to something third party or you can end up making yourself look pretty foolish. I would make sure that it's factual and we would have an unaggressive conversation about what was said and then I would like, as I do sometimes, I'd like going like a monologue.
Speaker 3:All right, and I tell them how great I've made their life up until now by being their friend and how much value, how much things I've done for them. And I'll tell them I'll never do anything for them, ever again in my life and I'd say you at the top I wish you the best Good luck out here. And then I would spend the rest of the time I got on earth in the back of my mind. I'm crazy like Steve a little bit, and I would just make sure that any and everything that I do, they had to feel the fact that they wronged me, and I'd enjoy it. I get great satisfaction from it.
Speaker 5:Is this? Is this one of those hand on shoulder? I know you've used that in the past.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is absolutely a hand on the show, but it's it's not a, it's not a tight grip. There's almost to this. This is different. This is a close friend that turns on you. This is a light hand on the shoulder. I care, you know. I'm trying to see what's going on with you because I'm getting ready to end your opportunity to ever get where you want to go.
Speaker 4:So see these monologue there made me go. If you guys know that I enjoy learning more about serial killers, I think Chris is watch any mafia movies. That's very mafia, so there.
Speaker 3:I would just make it clear. You know I wouldn't put that past, chris Right.
Speaker 2:So a couple of things here. Hey, I would say, rj, I hope you understand now. When you give real estate disruptors a three star review, it hurts us too, because this is on the real estate disruptors channel, so stop it. Second, after that, it sounds like you guys haven't watched this video. This was going viral and tick tock. Have you guys not watched this? I've seen the video.
Speaker 3:You know, the first thought I had when I saw this video is this this has to be the craziest thing ever. I mean, this is this guy's ex best friend. Here's the reality. You can obviously look at situations like this and know something must have happened where this friend felt like they got the short end of the stick in some way. Oh yeah, they're hurt and now they're trying to harm somebody else that that has things to lose, who goes on a podcast tour about their friend They've known. Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the stories are ridiculous, I think, just out of control. If it wasn't so bad that he's out to hurt his friend, it'd be a really funny story. I mean, it's probably something I would say about RJ right, but to his face.
Speaker 5:When is when is saying something about somebody that's true becomes smearing, though? I mean, I guess that's the point where it's like when you use references, like mirroring somebody, like making you make the bad look like the dumbass.
Speaker 2:It's smearing when you say terms like baby legs and pinky toe.
Speaker 3:I think. I think, unfortunately, we're in a culture, with social media, where nobody cares about the truth, when the lie is more entertaining and quite often the lies always more entertaining and people just grasp these things, they run within it, they become stories and they impact people's lives on fairly unfortunately.
Speaker 4:No doubt about it. Why let the truth get in the way of entertainment? We would never want the truth.
Speaker 2:We want the, we want the eyeballs, we want the hearts, we want the follows. Forget the truth. That's what RJ does, what he does.
Speaker 5:Exactly.
Speaker 1:It's what you get when you're at King closer level. That's what happens right there. All right point to Mr Pull up over here gently with the shoulder grip over here. Everybody's got, of course everybody's got a very valid point here. Love that Leon went the direction of like yo, you got to dish it out and take it like I really do. I like that perspective right there.
Speaker 4:We're all on this show because we can dish it and we can take it. That's why we're on the show and that's why the show is a success 100%.
Speaker 1:Except for Mr Three Star over there. We're working on that. We're working on that, all right. Next up, our second favorite basketball player to talk about, on the show right behind y'all, draymond Green, was ejected Tuesday afternoon for unnecessarily choking Rudy Gobert during an altercation between both teams. What's an appropriate reaction if your competitor is actively trying to harm your business? Start us off, cj.
Speaker 3:Man I've dealt with this before Right, you just keep winning, all right. Like you can't build anything big, like great, like greatness is. Like criticism is a result of greatness, like it's a direct result of greatness. Anybody who's going to try to do anything big, anything great, anything of substance, you're going to have haters. You're going to have criticism. You're going to have Draymond Greens trying to take your neck off to try to injure you. It's just part of the business, is part of the game. I'm not losing any sleep over that whatsoever. I'm just going to keep striving and thriving, right, doing my thing, and shout out to the bank account.
Speaker 1:There is he's throwing it. He's throwing it all the CJ ism's All right. Next up, steve, what are your thoughts on this?
Speaker 2:Well, I think there's probably just a misunderstanding, right, I don't think Rudy understood Draymond's perspective Right, and this whole conversation is kind of how I feel about this, like I think there probably could have been a little bit more communication, maybe seeking to understand before being understood. Right Beyond that, I mean I'm kind of like with CJ on this If you're actively trying to harm a business, as long as it's not effective, right, I'm just going to keep on going. But then we also had Brad Chandler on on on real estate disruptors and the way by houses guy hidden with a trademark violation. It took out all his YouTube videos. Right, in that instance he went to war and I don't think he was wrong.
Speaker 2:Right, if someone's actually harming the way you do business, I mean you got to hit back just as hard. Yeah, phil Green, another colleague, right, like someone Hurt his ability in the market, he went and shut that guy down. That guy is not soon another guy for the rest of his life. So someone is Actively trying to harm me and it's not working. I move on to ignore it, but it was actually hurting my ability to make income, is hurting my business, hurting my Everyone that works here, hurting their future, hurting my family. You're gonna get hit hard, real bad, real fast.
Speaker 1:There we go. Steve's ready for war. A dig it. All right, Leon. What about you?
Speaker 4:Well, since the NBA has deemed choking Unnecessary that's the word they used, which, by the way, rj's like what is this? That's? That's par for the course. And hockey Society says I can't choke someone out. First and foremost, I think that what we were talking about earlier with friends you got to seek to understand and that involves typically Communication between business professionals and if that individual is not a business professional and not willing to have a Conversation about you, know them and how you see them as harming you. If you can't work through that, then, yes, you may have to take some action, but you just keep doing what you're doing. To CJ's point, the best way to drown out that harmful, any harmful smear campaigns or what have you, is to continue to do Great things in your community, continue to do great business and continue to treat others how you want to be treated. You do those type of things and continue to let people know those through social media channels, marketing those type of things. It drowns out all the bad.
Speaker 1:There we go. Alright, rj, what about? What about you remember basketball, not hockey basketball.
Speaker 5:It's funny that we asked this question this week, because this actually happened to me this week. I made a.
Speaker 5:Yeah, I made an announcement on social media. I guess someone didn't like it, and so they decided they wanted to go buy some fake followers For my Instagram account and try to get my Instagram shut down. You know, it's interesting. When this type of stuff happens, I Sit in silence. The whoever is doing this is not going to know that I'm paying any attention to it. In the background, though, there are plans to protect ourselves. This is how we're gonna protect it, and then this is also how we're gonna resolve this situation, and and I think at that point time, I know, if it continues, we're gonna enact the plan to resolve it, and more often than not it was it gets resolved through a Cassandra D'Hoss monologue. Like Chris Jefferson, they get along so well because if you've ever been in one of Casper's monologues, my god, you will never think twice about hurting us ever again. So that's, that's that's not real true training bro.
Speaker 2:Yeah. So what do I got to do then to get RJ to stop? How many people leave us three star reviews like what?
Speaker 5:Well, to be honest with you, just be a better podcast host.
Speaker 2:I think the good thing is, since you have no influence, I don't worry about it.
Speaker 5:I On the Dreymond green. Do we actually? The Dreymond green was in the wrong here fair question Excessive.
Speaker 4:I do think that Jimmy Vreeland and I had actually had this conversation early this morning. I want that dude on my team. I mean that dude is is going to. If he thinks that you're being choked out, he's gonna come choke someone else out and wants to win. Agree or disagree with all the antics that sometimes Dreymond does. In this particular and instance Been a little bit much, but he thought his teammate was being choked out and so he was gonna go choke someone else out.
Speaker 5:I don't have a problem with that bro, if I am the owner of the Golden State Warriors and I see clay Thompson's fragile knees and fragile ankles being thrown around like a rag doll, his jersey literally gets ripped off. I want one of the other four players to do something about it. I'll gladly accept your five game suspension to at least make sure a you're not gonna do this to our star players, I mean.
Speaker 2:I just you can respond, but that choke hold For that duration, like I said, it may have been a bit excessive, excessive, but it's.
Speaker 4:You know, you want people. I mean in the in the 80s, the bad boys. That would be one thing.
Speaker 1:I was just thinking a lamp here.
Speaker 3:That's not what you think. You take any team into consideration. There's a reason when everybody was trying to figure out if Dreymond Green was gonna get traded or get extended the other year and he got another huge contract. There's a reason they gave it to the guy. He's a glue piece. And any team environment and this is a business Sports team, whatever any team environment. You need a dog or you need a pickle on your team. If you don't have somebody that's real in the punch kick screen, fight for you and Whoever, whoever that that ringer is on your team, that's bringing in the revenue, the person to score in the most points. Like, if you don't have somebody on your team, it's gonna go fight for that guy. You're not gonna be around very long. Question people are gonna come at you. You need somebody that can handle that for you, cuz you know sometimes when the mango butter is glistening, potter, you can't go do it yourself. Baby, you got it.
Speaker 4:We don't have all the Come to find out. I know we've had this conversation about when he punched Jordan pool, but now information is coming out that we we said some things about Dreymon at that, given time being a bad teammate Come to find out now it's being leaked that no one was really upset with Dreymon for punching Jordan and, to Chris's point, guess who got shipped out? Not Dreymon. So when it could have been a little excessive, of course it could have been.
Speaker 5:Here's what we know for a fact. Okay, Dreymon green does not need TRT therapy. Okay, that test.
Speaker 2:You want, you want dream on. You want Pat Bev on your team. Right, you want Grayson Allen on your team.
Speaker 4:But you hate playing against these guys out of control.
Speaker 1:All right, point to Point to RJ on that one. Number one for sitting silence and then execute, and then also for bringing us back with like yo, do we really see anything that's wrong with this? This is like, let's be honest, everybody, everybody needs a dream on. You know, dennis Rodman, bill lambier, you do, you need those guys. All right. Question number three it's been reported that since Marvel's 2019 blockbuster film, infinity war endgame, engagement and interest in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been low Since the pinnacle of the MCU. What advice would you give Marvel to get their fans reengaged in the series? Start us off, rj.
Speaker 5:Oh, man get to talk about my old former employer, disney, and how they're messing everything up. I mean, disney, what are you gonna learn, man? You go woke, you go broke. I mean, they just keep pushing it. They did it in in game. I mean in the light, the end of the movie, the end of all of what they've been building for like a decade.
Speaker 5:They decided that they wanted to end that scene with making a woman empowerment scene. It was a huge turnoff for a lot of us that are comic book fans and it's like no, just tell the story, why do you have to have an agenda? And the problem with a lot of the Marvel movies recently is there's a hidden agenda and All of their their movies, and I think that is running people way. I've been a comic book fan since I was eight years old and it has been probably 18 months since I've watched a Marvel movie prior to that. I want every single one of them as they came out. I think they just need to get back to telling good stories and get rid of the agenda.
Speaker 1:All right, all right. What about you, cj? What are your thoughts?
Speaker 3:My bad, my mic was muted. I mean, look, I think that the Marvel series in general, I think it's gotten denuded. You know there's been. There's been so much stuff out, right TV shows, movies. You know, like when I was growing up, like a Superhero movie, right, I don't know all the universe it's been DC, marvel, whatever right. But like, like when a Batman movie was coming out, like that was a big deal, right, like if it was, it was announced like a year and a half in advance. Like people were going crazy for that. When Star Wars movies were coming out, like people were going nuts for that.
Speaker 3:And what you see now is just like you can get, you can consume that anytime that you want. I think there's something to be said when it comes to, you know, entertainment consumption. When it comes to edutainment consumption, I think there's really something to be said about not deluding things, right, sometimes I think we often think the more content, the better and everybody's on this content push. Everybody wants to do Ten reels a day, post in Facebook groups all day, do YouTube all day. I think there's something to be said about not deluding yourself so much To create interest in buzz, so that when you do put something out into the ecosystem. There's what it has more impact than it's better received.
Speaker 1:There we go less is more, less is more. All right, steve, what about you?
Speaker 2:I think there's a lot to be Say with RJ's point, right, I mean the pandiverse. I think it was a great, great concept. I think, in addition to that, as a business owner, we have a responsibility to sell products that people want to buy. And you, look at this, a shark tank, right, like this guy. They'll come up. It's like, hey, I got this idea. It's a million dollar idea, it's a multi-million dollar idea and the, the, the panel on shark tape be like well, how do you know it's a good idea? Who actually wants to buy it? Have you had any sales? Like no one's body. I was like why do you think this is a great idea, right? So I think that there has to be a.
Speaker 2:A responsibility as a business owner is to figure out what the audience wants. They obviously wanted the first 23 movies of the or whatever it was for the cinematic universe. Right, sticks to that. Netflix is, I want to say, successful, but they have a good business model because they have analytics to see what people actually want. Youtube, you can see what people actually want. Make more of that.
Speaker 2:Tip-talk, instagram, everything put is consistent what people actually want, right? You can't say this is what they should consume and they'll like it. That's not how capitalism works, right? You gotta figure out what they actually want and sell that to them.
Speaker 1:Okay, all right. What about you, Leon? What are your thoughts?
Speaker 4:Look outside of Black Panther and Iron man. I don't speak comic book nerd, so I'm gonna take this to back to business. You know Steve has a good point there. If we relate this back to business, we're you know, the collective genius has been around for almost 14 years. It's a community Marvel fans, disney fans my goodness, you want to talk about loyal fans, loyal communities.
Speaker 4:You have to ask your communities what it is that you have to. You have to pull them and find out what it is that they loved about those previous movies and what they don't they no longer like. We are always Asking our membership base the things that they love, the things that they would change, what they want to see more of. Obviously, you're going to get some crazy. That includes especially when it comes to nerd talk. You're gonna come. You're gonna get a lot of crazy in there, but if you sift through that, there's going to be a lot of gold in that and you can relate that back to any business. If you have Bad culture, you got to find out by asking your people. Typically, for every crazy answer, you'll get a lot more gold. That will help you in the future.
Speaker 2:Shout out to Leon for the first Robert Winsley award over the day yeah.
Speaker 5:I'm just a little bit disappointed in the fact that all of y'all stayed away from the fact that this is a Issue that Disney is ready across. Cross board Disney, old marble. So this is across the board. They're struggling, not just a marble thing. And to your point, cj, on the fact that you're saying, hey, too much content can dilute and and the audience will lose, like the desire to consume your content. Marvel has been putting out Spider-Man comic books and Iron man comic books and Avenger comic books since the 60s on like a bi-weekly basis. Why? And they've not struggled to sell those comic books. So you're muted.
Speaker 3:Yeah, cj, let me say something on that point before you keep going.
Speaker 3:I think, because when you, when you look back at previous generations, you had multiple avenues of content consumption. Some people consume content by radio, some people consume content by TV, then you have people who started to consume content by phone, and so now we've progressed to a generation where the majority of consumption for entertainment is from people's phones, so like there's a singular place that that that content is being consumed. And I think that's where it starts to get overbearing. Right, like we're all parents, right. So like we've all seen the parents or been the parents, right, where it's like your kids constantly on the phone, your kids constantly consuming content. So if you're, if your son loves Spider-Man, right, well, the only place he's ever looking at it and watching it is on the phone, right, and so it just starts to dilute itself.
Speaker 3:And Disney is a business, to your point, rj, they've spread across so many places themselves as a business, right, like it's why they're trying to move ESPN as an asset right now, because it's worked so much, and they're trying to, you know, kind of replenish the coffers. There's a lot of people talking about them selling Disney Plus.
Speaker 2:I think. So I would say, cj, you're 100% wrong in this, in this context here. So I think really, you're selling the wrong thing, right? So if you're a brand, if your brand is to sell products to kids, then you should sell products to the parents, right? Like there are other decision-makers at the table, if I'm negotiating on a house, I'm gonna have both parties there, because both people are interested. If I'm selling a product to a family, I'm not selling it just to the kid, because the kid has the desire but the kid doesn't have the money Right now. What I'm a decision-maker is the parents.
Speaker 3:What I mean is this is the kid is the consumer of the content. You don't know what your kid wants to even see. Your kid tells you what they're interested in.
Speaker 2:With the power of the purse, though. They can say they want it and I'm saying no.
Speaker 3:No, but I'm saying what they're interested in, you have to see and know what they're consuming, you don't? You didn't know your daughters were interested in frozen until you saw them consuming frozen, right. And so then you see that and you're like okay, well, maybe I'll get them something for Christmas for frozen.
Speaker 2:Right, but until I see if frozen had an agenda, that's like hey, I'm glad that you want it. Thank you for letting me know, but Santa's busy this year and he's all out of frozen products exactly, and this is my.
Speaker 5:You said that the kid is the consumer of the product. So case in point Second Spider-Man movie came out. I took my son, without any questions, to the theaters to go see it. Then suddenly Marvel decided they wanted to insert all sorts of agendas in their movies that I'm not okay with my son or either one of my kids consuming. So now I have to wait, consume the content myself and see if it's appropriate.
Speaker 3:I got my children to watch. I understand both y'all's points. Let me try to clarify and help both of you gentlemen out. If you go, look on YouTube. Disney's been putting inappropriate stuff in children's movies since the beginning of Disney. This has been talked about forever. It's because. It's because now you all as parents, us as parents, are aware of it Through the singular point that we're consuming it. You're, you're aware of these things in this a conversation, literally because of social media.
Speaker 2:People on social so yes, 100%. Disney's been doing this forever, right? 100%.
Speaker 4:But yes, how far they keep pushing that agenda clarify that though. Disney drawing phallic Illustrations in little mermaid and things of that nature were artists you know doing. You know something you know to be fine.
Speaker 4:Indus, genders are a little bit different and I think, rj, to your point earlier when we were at when you asked it, if we addressed it, you know you asked what the question asked. What is our advice? And our advice is to listen to people like you. That was our advice to them Because ultimately, it's the consumer. I do think Chris has a point here. In regards to today, we want to put Officially companies that are publicly traded, like Disney, and have a lot of pressure on them they have to get content out to make money and continue to push stocks and those type of things so you can get too much of a good thing. That starts to get you to a point where you're going. You know what this is. This is deluded now. So I think everyone has valid points here, but the at the end of the day, they just need to ask their consumers what it is that they're that, why they're not going to the box office or a Consuming this, this, anymore.
Speaker 2:Stop with the kumbaya talk. Chris is wrong.
Speaker 3:Conspiracy theorists, theorists, folks and it's just like the whole Bud Light thing like I, all you fanatic conspiracy people on Facebook talking about Bud Light and how it was impacting that. They did this, they did that. The amhizer bush looks fine right now. They will be fine long term as well. People are back consuming Bud Light right now. I think you guys Get stuck sometimes in your own personal perspectives and how you all see things, but I don't think it has the impact overarching. Does it have impact? Yes, but does it have a long-term impact?
Speaker 3:Not always, man, not not always. We've seen this, we've seen these conversations every time. A couple times a year something spikes up, one social media about an anti-woke calls for some, some company. I haven't seen any of these companies fail, right, these companies say, give it a couple years, chris. Well, all right, I think you'd be more accurate about Tesla with that, then you would about business.
Speaker 5:We're literally talking about how one of their number one franchises, says, declined for four years in a row.
Speaker 3:And the only, the only way that is declined is because they have a woke up messaging. That's your thought, that is one of the yes, that you as a.
Speaker 1:God, it's good to have you guys back together. Like it really is. I love seeing RJ and CJ next to each other on the screen, like it's amazing. I'm gonna say like, look, everybody has great points here. They do point to Leon on it, though, for being probably the cleanest answer. That's there. We're just gonna say that we're gonna go ahead and get on to a message from One of our sponsors today.
Speaker 1:A lot of you might or might not know that, apart from podcasting, wholesaling and Winning PTD semi-annually, steve and the sales disruptors teaching coach the country's top home buyers to buy houses at massive discounts. What that means is that Steve helps companies learn a sales process, meaning he teaches them what to say to homeowners to acquire properties at deep discounts. With the disruptors process, earlier this year, steve and Ian Ross Launched the sales community so that everyone can gain the same training at a ridiculous discount of $97 a month. What's even more is it and exciting is that inside the community you will get all of Steve's courses, old and new, three coaching calls a week, resources, handouts and access to Steve and Ian Ross for this great price, which in the past cost thousands of dollars. Simply put, sales is the surest skill to become financially free. If you're interested in joining their mission of creating 100 millionaires, go to sales disruptors, dot-com, to become the next one. Don't forget to use your promo code Disney Just kidding, all right.
Speaker 1:All right, we're gonna go ahead and get on to question number four. We have, lately, many CEOs have been talking about having their employees return to the offices or they will face the consequences of being laid off. Many CEOs say it's easier to make a connection and hold someone accountable when engaging with them daily in person, compared to a remote relationship. Our CEOs in the wrong for wanting their remote employees to return to the office. Start us off, leon.
Speaker 4:Well, before I answer that question, it's good to see you got an early Christmas present of a sense of humor, matt. That might be the funniest Disney promo line you've ever said. Absolutely not, goodness gracious. It is crazy to me that we've gotten to this point when, as a business owner, a CEO, I can't ask my employees to come back to the office because a Pandemic forced us out of that office. Now I can't ask you to come back. Obviously, you, as an employee, have a choice. You're welcome to no longer work at that particular business, but it is. It's. It's so much easier to create culture and I know that there's a lot of virtual based businesses that have good culture, but I would argue that in person will culture what flat-out beat virtual culture every day of the week. So Labor unions and those type of things were created in the 1900s, late 1800s, for a reason there were bad work environments. This is not one of those issues and absolutely as a CEO, I have the ability to ask my employees to come back.
Speaker 1:There we go. All right, rj. What about you? What are your thoughts?
Speaker 5:Feel like giving a Jimmy Vreeland answer here and just do it.
Speaker 5:Oh, and then just no, I Can't believe it's taken some CEOs this long to realize like, hey, in person I can hold you accountable and I make a connection and better, a company morale and all this. It's like, of course that's always been the scenario. It's always been why we will not hire remote employees. We will only have people that could show up to the office every single day. I I don't understand why this is even a conversation. So no, the CEOs are not in the wrong.
Speaker 1:Hmm, I don't know about that, rj. I saw a tick tock where you were trying to hire someone remotely in another state.
Speaker 5:So it didn't work out.
Speaker 1:All right, all right. Counterpoint, counterpoint, all right, all right. Cj. What about you, man?
Speaker 3:Yeah, I think it's just tough man. I think that I Think people should go back to work like I think, in person work absolutely makes the most sense. That's already been said. I agree with that wholeheartedly. I Think that moment may have slipped, you know, I think that there was a cultural Generational shift that took place when it comes to the workforce and that happened as a result of COVID and we let that extend out so far that people have convinced themselves you know, as as employees, that they they don't need to do to go to work, to do their job.
Speaker 3:And I think what's missed in these conversations? Right, we're speaking from business owners perspectives and entrepreneurs. But as an employee, you just look at it from the perspective of I just need to do my job, like I got a task of things that I'm supposed to do and I'm being held accountable for. I just need to do those things. They're not. As an employee We've all had jobs before you're not so much caught in the hey well, what's the morale, what's the culture? Those are things as a business owner or management, you're trying to control and drive. So I think there's just been a slip in time and, I think, trying to find a way to convince masses of people again that they have to come into an office for work is Going to be extremely difficult to accomplish.
Speaker 1:There we go. Okay, all right, steve, what are your thoughts? I?
Speaker 2:Am so happy I live in Arizona, right, like COVID didn't happen here, so we don't have to deal with this. Right, like this working from home thing happened for, like, I want to take a week and a half here, right, so this isn't, this wasn't an issue whatsoever over here. I don't think they're wrong, but I also don't think they're being Genuine or sincere, right, I don't think they're saying, hey, we need to come into the office To maintain culture, although that's factually accurate. I think this is their way of just letting people go. Right, like, hey, we've got bloat, we've hired too many people, we need to get our expenses in order, and instead of having the tough conversations and letting go of people because of finances, I think they're saying, hey, if you can't come to the office, that's all right, you know, you're just gonna have to go work somewhere else. So I don't think they're wrong, but I don't think they're being genuine either. I think this is a situation where they're trying to let go bloat.
Speaker 4:I Can see that, steve. I can also see production being down in certain industries. I mean, let's face it, there are people that are disciplined enough to work from home and, frankly, gets more done than they might in the office just because of Water, cooler talk and those type of things that are distractions, but that's probably peace of it. But at the end of the day, this whole thing has come from a Pandemic and we have people that have looked at this as an opportunity to continue to remain spoiled and going. Why would I? I don't need to do that. Why do I want to do that? I don't have to do that because society now now sides with me that I have choices as as an employer and as a Employer employee. As an employer, I have the opportunity to have a choice as well, which is to say don't come in. You no longer work here.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but but how many companies like? Because this is really a conversation not for for us as small business owners. Right, we often small businesses work with remote employees. This is really a fortune 5,000 company and down problem. This is that's what that is, and so the underlying problem here is that this is a this is a Countrywide economic problem, and what I mean by that is I do think I agree with Steve in the sense that it's sleight of hand. I think it can be sleight of hand for multiple reasons. I think one of those reasons is that We've got an office space problem in every major metro area across the country right now, and that that impacts not just these landlords, commercial property owners. This that impacts the economy overall, and if we can, as companies, get those spaces filled back up again, that's gonna help a lot of other industries remain and stay profitable as well.
Speaker 5:Okay, well, since you brought that up, and the next question is gonna involve the city of San Francisco, okay, tj, when we talked about the vacant commercial buildings in San Francisco, you said we should turn that into affordable housing. So what are we supposed to do?
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'd like to respond to that you know some of my favorite people on the planet. I'm the most fascinated. I'm an observer of people and I, like I observe you right now. Right, how you. You went back to whenever that was to get that. Yeah, I'm gonna respond. So, unfortunately for you, rj applied to. The question that was asked at that time huh, if you recall was what would you do with all the vacant office space if you had to repurpose it? All right.
Speaker 5:I repurpose it. Just what would you do with it?
Speaker 3:Well, so you that's not. If this is office space, you Perposing it is not bringing back Employees to make it office space, is making it something else and making it still profit you, mr Disney, inserting words to figure agenda.
Speaker 5:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:There's a couple different things here. First, we got to do, we have to have a collusion of sorts right. All the business owners have to collude together and say and hold the line, like everyone has to come to the office, right. That's the only way it's gonna work, because some are okay with this owner. Not is not gonna work. You gotta have collusion another thing to.
Speaker 2:We're gonna. I want to start a fortune 500 master, my UN. So I Think too Leon kind of alluded to it the ability to lead an organization completely remotely Takes such an absurdly high level of leadership to maintain that culture. Right like I have our brokerage here. At one point, right starting homes, realty, I I had multiple people say hey, steve, you're doing well with your brokerage, why don't you expand to multiple locations? My answer to them every time was I am barely competent enough as a leader to lead one location. I can't even imagine how difficult it would be to lead six locations. Make sure we have consistent processes, consistent service, make sure the door is all open at the same time, that everyone's responding at the same time. Being in the same building is already difficult enough to manage. I can't imagine being in all these different locations would be a nightmare.
Speaker 4:But remember, this is not something that's unprecedented when it comes to having remote workers. I mean, in my 11 years in corporate, I never had sales reps in the office. They were always out and selling advertising. We didn't have unless it was a meeting. And even when we were on the road we were having meetings at public facilities where we would rent for a second or whatever to get together. But this is not. We're not asking people that their job is already set up as a remote worker. We're talking about people that were in the office, that left the office because of a pandemic and now do not want to come back. I mean that if we really say that out loud, we're like this is ludicrous. Go back to work and if I'm a CEO, have the right to be able to do that.
Speaker 2:I think you're setting different standards for the administrative people versus the salespeople. That's a toxic environment. I don't want to work at your place.
Speaker 4:Shit, someone's got to ring a bell.
Speaker 1:All right, this one. This has been a great round. Good to see the input given by everybody. I'm taking this one to the chat over here in the chat, with 60% of the vote, it's going to go to CJ. Good job, cj. We're proud of you over here in the chat. All right, next up. Word from our other sponsor today, which is the Family Tree at Real Broker. If you are looking to make a change in your real estate business, check out the realfamilytreecom. Schedule your collaboration, call with us. We will help you grow your real estate business. All right, next up. I'm going to butcher the guy's name. I always do this. I'm going to try anyways this week. President Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping are currently meeting this week in San Francisco.
Speaker 1:No, not at all, thank you. Would you like to read the question? Xi Jinping, there we go, thank you, currently meeting this week in San Francisco to discuss several economic topics and concerns. What topics would you like them to discuss, as they would pertain to real estate and your business? Start us off, cj.
Speaker 3:Man. This is one of those moments where maybe RJ would be right about his old pal DJ DT, right? Why do we need to be speaking with the President of China about US real estate in downtown San Francisco? That doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I think China's agenda is pretty clear on what their intent is, which is global domination, economically, quite literally. I don't know what we'd have to really talk about with the. Do you mind saying the name again? No, I'm going to defer to Steve.
Speaker 1:I don't know.
Speaker 3:President Xi. Right, there we go, President Xi. Why do we need to be talking to this guy? I don't know. That makes a lot of sense to me.
Speaker 1:There we go. Can't hate that analysis right there. All right, Steve. What about you? What are your thoughts?
Speaker 2:I think he's the perfect person to talk to. I don't know what Chris is talking about. I think the direction we're going, if we're going to try to be socialists, let's learn from the right person. Oh God, who better? It's the guy that has mastered it. Who better than the guy who has thrown his predecessor into prison? I think that's the best guy to learn from. I don't know what you're talking about. How do you effectively lead a corrupt organization? That's the best person to learn from. I don't know what you're talking about, Chris. As far as, yeah, I think the things to learn, the things to figure out is how do we keep San Francisco streets clean on a daily basis? Because they figure how to do it. Once we figure out how to do it once, let's figure out how to do it again Make San Francisco streets clean again.
Speaker 1:And while we're on that topic, shout out to Newsom for the most awkward press conference of all time after that occurred, absolutely. If you haven't seen it, go watch it. It is amazing. All right, leon, what about you? What are your thoughts?
Speaker 4:Nothing. I don't want them discussing anything about real estate, my business, anything. I don't want to talk about any of that. Why I want them talking about their relationship and peace Because as long as there is peace, we all have businesses and we all can continue in real estate. I want them figuring out bigger global issues between our two countries and keeping the peace and not pushing buttons to harm each other. That's what they should be focused on while meeting All right Interested to see what San Francisco's number one supporter has to say on this RJ.
Speaker 1:what are your thoughts?
Speaker 5:I ran out of time. I've been right down so many questions I have about this Sleepy Joe in San Francisco. What a magical day that's going to be. Will the two presidents be partaking in some of the local drug scene? I just want to know that. Will they do anything about the poop on the streets? Is that acceptable, or will they fix that? Should all of the vacant commercial buildings be used for affordable housing, like Chris Jefferson said? What do you think, Chris? Do you think they're going to talk about that at all? You're muted, Thank God. I'm like Leon. I don't want them talking about real estate. I definitely don't want them talking about our business at all. I like Steve said. I mean, we know what China's agenda is. No one's really sure what Sleepy Joe's agenda is at all. It's very confusing Almost as confusing as listening to Potter try to pronounce China's president's name. Equal opportunity offender. There we go. There's RJ insulting the judge, not getting points again.
Speaker 1:CJ. How can you say?
Speaker 2:absolutely certain that China wants world domination. Come on man, how do you defend that? Position they're financially invading every country that has resources.
Speaker 3:What are you talking about? You know you're not the country that has resources. What are you talking about? They're quiet. You think you think people are just coming over here buying stuff. You think that they got people over there, unfortunately, sadly, got people working in and low wage. Is that the politically correct way to say sweatshops?
Speaker 2:slave, slave wage you got.
Speaker 3:You got you got people working in sweatshops man for for nothing and you think that was an intentional. You think that they didn't know, way back when they started manufacturing the majority of us goods, that that would be a way to like we can't even separate from them Right, like we're in debt to them.
Speaker 2:I just want to go on the record. I want to know what Chris means when he says you people.
Speaker 3:Yeah, well, shout out to Asian Like this isn't Disney World conspiracy. Shout out to RJ as well. Why do?
Speaker 5:they choose San Francisco like why that just, it feels.
Speaker 3:President right imagine they came to Dallas Texas.
Speaker 2:Or the Sanctis. Yeah, he's not gonna be. He's not gonna be the Sanctis, right you?
Speaker 5:know you something new?
Speaker 2:president. That's, that's the reason why you gotta be gotta meet him before he, before he goes in the office.
Speaker 4:Well, and in San Francisco's top three in Chinese population, I believe Houston, san Francisco, I think so that may have had something to do with it as well, but San Francisco. I believe it's one of the highest. I think it's in the top three of Chinese population.
Speaker 2:I was up for sure. Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco. I think, it's top Houston right, so Houston makes sense.
Speaker 3:Yeah, definitely, because it's on Asians in Houston for sure.
Speaker 2:Chris just keeps going with this. I choose to live blind. And, chris, these Asian people everywhere.
Speaker 5:I was just in Houston this past weekend where my son played three signs. There are not in English, they're. They're written in Chinese, I guess Mandarin or China I. They're not in English.
Speaker 2:Yeah, someone go. And if you can find the titanium podcast, if you can find it, leave a three star review.
Speaker 1:Dude, why not choose violence? Go go two or one, bro, come on.
Speaker 2:I believe, absolute we.
Speaker 1:I saw a little bit of a glimpse for those that have watched the show for a long time. We call him 420 Steve. He was. He was the greatest Steve of all time. On April 20th, came in hot with just sarcasm, so saw. Saw it again right there with the hey, if we're gonna be a communist country, why not learn from the best? And or a socialist country, sorry, socialist. So points of Steve. On that one we're gonna get into question number six. This is gonna be the deciding factor we have. Josh Dobbs has been praised for his recent performance For the Vikings after being traded from the Arizona Cardinals and taking over for the injured Kurt cousins. How can someone inside an organization show their value and worth to be more impactful in their organization? Start us off, steve.
Speaker 2:So Jim Rowland is one of my favorite Inspirational speakers and one of things he talks about is doing more than what you're paid for. Right, coming in and working hard, adding value to the company, operating as if you maybe not as if you own the company, but pretty darn close, right, looking for places to hey, here are areas we can improve. Here are areas that maybe we should stop doing this, but where they treat the business like it's their business. Entrepreneurs, that's what we like to see. As far as adding value, so Coming in every day, working hard, busting your butt, adding value and that's how you can do one of a few different things. You can move up the ranks faster, you might be able to earn equity, you might be able to earn profit share or whatever, but you're gonna get paid and compensated more because you're doing more than what you're paid to do.
Speaker 1:There we go. All right, steve, what about you, leon?
Speaker 4:I'll say what Steve was trying to say, but much better. He's nice to everyone but me do your job and the future job that you want to do. So this is something that when someone comes in, they may have aspirations to not necessarily be an owner, but a CEO. If that's your aspirations, start down the path of doing your job really well. Be available, work your tail off, ask great questions, ask those that are above you all the time, be curious but, more importantly, start doing the job today that you want tomorrow.
Speaker 1:There we go forward, thinking I like it All right, rj, what about you?
Speaker 5:The net footage documentary. Quarterback was amazing. It showed us Patrick Mahomes, Kirk cousins and Marcus Marriota. And what you learned is is the reason why Marcus Marriota is never won in the NFL. And you learned why Kirk cousins teammates love him. You know Justin Jefferson talks about hey, I want Kirk cousins to be my quarterback movement forward. That's a generational talent, choosing his quarterback to be the guy he plays the rest of his career with. And you see Kirk cousins now in this you know moment of injury. His actions speak so much louder than the words that he says to you know say the right thing. He cares about the Vikings winning championships. He's showing up and still providing value to his team teammates, Even potential future replacements for him on the team. He doesn't care. He cares about the team winning and his other teammates they cares about. That's true leadership. I think it's amazing to see what Kirk cousins has done since taking that injury.
Speaker 1:There we go. All right, cj. What about you? What are your thoughts?
Speaker 3:I'm loving this a dive story. Just as a football fan, I think it's amazing, just as being first place in our fantasy football league that are that RJ participates in and did a backdoor trade-in. Shout out to RJ. You know, I Love this dive story because you you are most people in life they play to expectations. When you start getting to the spot where you learn that always played to exceed expectations, special stuff starts to happen.
Speaker 3:This guy just needed a shot. I think they said he's been on five teams already this season. Right, you know he balled out with the Cardinals, but you know Kyler came back or was coming back. Now he's over here in Minnesota, first game over. God goes and gets a Vic. I think it's a great story and just showing to always be ready, always be prepared. I think Kurt to to RJ's point. I mean, I think he's that team's quarterback. We still miss him over here in washington dearly, but what I, what I do like is I think the organization is rallying behind as a team. We talked about culture and all those things earlier. I think this story and what's happening for this team is a direct result of that, like a direct example of that and shout out to the dobs for coming in with the like, the mindset to adopt whatever culture the Vikings have.
Speaker 5:Um, because you go hear his story about what happened to him and that just talks it just shithole of an organization called the Cardinals. Um sorry, Steve, Uh don't be sorry, it's reality.
Speaker 5:I mean, I mean literally the coach is telling him the day before he gets traded like you're my quarterback, you're starting. And then the next day it's just kidding, you're not starting, and then he's traded. I mean he comes over with such a great attitude and the stories about him like Not knowing the play calls. Literally the head coach is telling him or snap out beans in his head. It's crazy.
Speaker 2:You didn't know. The snap counts. Um, so are you apologizing for swearing or apologizing with the Cardinals? Because there's no need to apologize with Cardinals.
Speaker 5:We.
Speaker 3:There's a trapeze train wreck of an organization.
Speaker 2:So I just want to go on the record that neither RJ or CJ answered the question, and Leon's answer to the question is hey, where do you see yourself in five years in your job? All right, that was. That was Leon's answer.
Speaker 4:I want you to replace me because if you're replacing me, that means I'm continuing to level up. You can tell a lot about an individual right out of the gates, and I think this is Resonating with Dobb's story Of how they walk in. What they do are they, do they feel like they're above certain things within the organization, especially, um, you know, at events like ours when we hire someone, um, when someone comes in and they're willing to put up signage and take down signage and go right in for tell me what else I could be doing, those are the type of things that are measured, especially by executives that you're trying to impress. So it's not just do the job that you want to do in the future, it's also be humble enough to do anything that's asked of you.
Speaker 3:Well, and that's what I mean when I play to exceed expectations. Right, I think again, often people just show up to do their job, people just show up to do enough. People just show up to hit the kpi. Uh, no, people that are of value to an organization long term. See, everybody wants Long-term relationships. Everybody wants equity splits, everybody wants this, everybody wants to make big money. This kid Dobbs is going to get paid for real. He's going to make a lot of money. He's going to get generational wealth. Uh, because he's played. He's played here in the last and this last couple of months to exceed out all expectations. And now, now it's an underdog story. I mean, look, this country was built on underdog stories. We love them.
Speaker 4:Uh, shout out to disney the easiest answer that we could have uh come up with for this particular question, based upon our earlier question, is just show up to work and you have a value in worth if you just come into the office, I mean.
Speaker 5:But I will say, with all due respect to what Dobbs has done, I. I think that the story here is more about how curt cousins has reacted to this injury and since then. Take erin rogers, for example exact same injury. Erin rogers is going all the way to california for his rehab. He's not a part of their practices. He's not really there on a day-to-day basis for zack wilson and you've seen zack wilson suffer because of that. Curt cousins is doing his rehab in minnesota. He's there with josh dobbs and he's helping him become a part of the organization that he wasn't a part of two weeks ago. I think that makes a huge difference in the results in Pretty similar circumstances.
Speaker 4:I think I think that wilson on on rogers. That's either bad yeah.
Speaker 3:Kirk is on like what? Like an 86 or 90 million dollar, fully guaranteed Two a year, and he's going to get paid again. I mean, look, did I be, I'd be high-fiving and clapping on the side too.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think, rj, I hear what you're saying, but erin rogers has a chance to come back this season.
Speaker 5:Kirk does it that there's, so you're telling me there is no one that can rehab and Achilles tendon in New York City?
Speaker 2:I Mean what area is trying to do? There's only one person has ever done what Aaron Rogers trying to do. That's Terrell Suggs, and for sure there was drugs involved in that. One right so From the clear that fast.
Speaker 4:Have you seen that he's not there in the organ's eggs? I've seen him on the sidelines for every game he shows up for the games, but it is very.
Speaker 5:It's been publicized that he is rehabbing in California. He is not there during the week. Current cousins is there. And it goes deeper than that.
