    Adam, that was a great interview with Josh because you asked meaningful questions and let Josh answer as you listened to him. You did not 'walk over' Josh. You listened and let Josh explain things so we could gain insight into his success in his business. Blessings to you.

    @robertginther9248 Před rokem +27

    Josh is 100% correct: I gave up a Math scholarship to go work as a "mechanic" in the boat business. I became, in the end, a Grand Master Marine Technician, earning in the six figures & having the best job ever. Something new every day & lake tested 4 to 8 boats daily, from go-fasters to little john boats. Have my own machine shop & retired after 42 years.

    Classic example of the conversation on weather to go to college or getting a saleable trade. Josh is an example of desire to make a living. Congratulations on successful business idea. I pray that more people would understand the value of operating their own business 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻Amen!!!

  • @chops7771
    @chops7771 Před rokem +1

    The app is a great idea. I will put it to use with my business immediately. And I barely got a high school diploma and now am a 50% owner of a multi million dollar excavation business. My business partner did go to college for 4 years and makes the same amount as I do with the high school education.

    @rickmervine9952 Před rokem +1

    All very true, Adam. Good episode and I downloaded the app without any issues. I'm a self-employed management consultant to small to mid-sized companies and will get them this app information. They can use this app to keep track of their company equipment. Tell Josh he should look into getting his app connected via an API to other operating apps as an accessory. Will broaden his sales of the app particularly if he hooks up with these operating systems to include this option.

    Aside from my tiny CZcams channel I own a trucking company. I'll be downloading this app for myself and all my employees. Cool video, he definitely needs his own channel, but you better chase him with a camera until he does. You both definitely made moves here but hey I'm just another high school dropout running a multimillion-dollar business that I built from the ground up.... so, what do I know?

    @thefamilywork3410 Před rokem +4

    27:00 Spoken like a true Entrepreneur! We've owned several businesses and would gladly take on a hard-working, teachable teenager with the intent to hand them a million dollar business while they're still in their 20's. Unfortunately, they have been hard to come by. We've shown several the potential they have if they are willing to work for it and I know many other business owners in the same position; ready to hand the reigns over, but no one willing to put in the effort.

  • @larrysmith2481
    @larrysmith2481 Před rokem +1

    Adam, This was very interesting and informative. A 4 year degree is a thing that you can be proud of and it, at one time, prove to an employer that you had the "work ethic" to complete that degree. Today, I think that the money that is required to attend and graduate from a 4 year University or College is prohibitive to the average. Trade Unions are willing to train and offer good paying positions in the trades that don't take you years to pay for. I applaud those people that have a degree and go into the business world. However, based in my experience these young people that go to university have no work ethic at all. You learn work ethic from your parents not some university professor.
    Really, how many more lawyers, accountants and over educated young people that have no work ethic? We need electricians, plumbers, iron workers, factory workers etc. in this economy today. People that take a shower when they get home from work are more respected by me than those that wear a $1,000 suit that rip off people with their high hourly rate to do nothing. Thank you for this video and I applaud you for bringing this to your channel.

    Adam, Josh is right on! Yesterday I met a Business owner turning 65 soon! He and his sister cannot get the next generation to takeover this 3 generation business he's worked since he was 10 years old. It's on three acres and he's got a million $$$ inventory. YaaMan! that got me thinkin'

    This has a potential for great content. I have timber acreage where I need a driveway cleared one day so this is right up my alley of educating myself.

    Definitely interested in seeing the big equipment in action. Certainly, this is a topic that will get viewership….especially with so many beautiful back stories and ongoing personalities to explore. If a person can monetize their eBay business activities simply by chronicling it on videos (both sourcing and selling)….this one is a no-brainer.
    Ask Josh to get a drone and do flyovers for before, after, and real time videos cuts

    I've always said you don't need a piece of paper to tell you how smart you are! There are 12 year Olds graduating from Harvard. anything is possible when you put your mind to it and cut out the hatters and B.S. I own 3 bissness and dropped out in 10th grade. I have more money then I ever thought I would have and more money then the teachers that said I would be nothing. stay humble because you can lose everything in a blink of an eye.

  • @JCWren
    @JCWren Před rokem

    I'm going to check Josh's app out. It sounds like what would make it a complete solution is adding fuel logging with the usual reports. Since you've got the service reminders plus all the licensing reminders, that's seems like all it would need to the complete all-in-one app.

    • @RenewedLifeHomes
      @RenewedLifeHomes Před rokem +2

      Logging of maintenance costs is on the roadmap, I'll add logging fuel usage as well. It's a good idea that I personally could use.

    Corporate life made me cringe when he said "company culture". But, what he described is what those corporate HR folks wish they could achieve, but never will. Unfortunately for most of those corporate people, no one wants to work with them, not that they're interested in that in the first place anyways. Good for this guy. Companies like his are great to build a life around.
