00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:20,880
Hi, welcome to the Macedonia Mayor's Report. I'm Mary Kidd and I'm here with Mayor Nick Molnar

2
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:25,960
on what should be a warm spring day, but it's Cleveland and it's cold.

3
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,880
Ohio strikes again. It's freezing today.

4
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:35,320
Alright, well, that kind of leads to the first question. The cold weather does a lot of damage

5
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:41,520
to the roads and there are potholes, so how can residents make those known?

6
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,800
So the simplest way is to go on our website under the service category and request it online.

7
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,680
That's a viable, good option. But you can also call the service department or email

8
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:56,120
at serviceadminatmacedonia.oh.us. That's the best way to get ahold of us.

9
00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:04,560
And we had a viewer send in a little question about the road by Kentucky Fried Chicken and

10
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:11,320
the car wash down at Highland and Route 8. That needs repaved or just fixed?

11
00:01:11,320 --> 00:01:15,840
It needs some attention. That's a privately owned road. So when it comes to that, that's

12
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,960
really nothing to do with us. I can't do anything when it's a privately owned thing

13
00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:24,960
going into a business. If there's issues there, you should probably contact the business

14
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,120
and let them know that it's rough. Now I've driven over to and I've noticed it's kind of

15
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:34,840
bad and I know that they put some patches in there, so it improved a little bit. But again,

16
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,120
there's not a lot I can do when it's not our responsibility.

17
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,520
Right. Part of Shepherd Road will be closing?

18
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:45,760
Yes. So Highland Road will be closing at that point, beginning April 8th, which is

19
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:46,960
today, I believe? Tomorrow?

20
00:01:46,960 --> 00:01:47,960
Oh, tomorrow, yeah.

21
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:52,280
Tomorrow. And the closure expected to last 21 days. So it's part of the addition

22
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:57,000
of the turning lanes over there, and that's all part of that project.

23
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,640
Will Highland also be closed?

24
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:03,400
No, Highland will be open. I apologize. But Shepherd Road at Highland, I should have clarified.

25
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:04,400
Okay.

26
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:05,400
Yes.

27
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:12,080
All right. I watched a council meeting. I tried and watched them. And there was some

28
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:17,720
hubbub about trees being torn down and residents not being happy.

29
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:23,040
So first energy comes in and they slaughter trees and they cut them to whatever they need

30
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,920
to do to keep the lines clear. Now, granted, you want your power to work and everything

31
00:02:26,920 --> 00:02:33,060
should be working at all times. We want that too. But the way in which they did the

32
00:02:33,060 --> 00:02:38,680
trees by South Farm was terrible. And I was unfortunately out of town that day,

33
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,880
but my building commissioner called me and I got on the phone and I was speaking with

34
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,840
the people doing the work there and obviously voiced my displeasure because some of the

35
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:51,800
pictures I saw were terrible. But what they basically do is they're going to trim it down

36
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,840
and they're going to leave it. And that's just what they do and that's what they're

37
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,760
allowed to do. And I don't agree with that at all. So I've been trying everything I can

38
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:03,040
do to get that rectified. I'm running into some brick walls but I'm not going to quit.

39
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,800
And the people that live over there should be annoyed and should be upset. And I'm

40
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,720
upset with them. But I don't think first energy should have the right to go and

41
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,880
do things like that. And that's the fight I'm having right now to get something

42
00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:18,280
done to say, look, if you're going to trim a tree, at least make it so that it could

43
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:22,640
still blossom or stay out of the power lines or whatever it may be. But don't

44
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:26,600
just hack the thing down and it looks terrible. It looks absolutely horrible. So

45
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,400
I'm working on that. I don't know that I'm going to get any resolution, but I'll

46
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,440
be darned if I don't try. Well, yeah, that's very frustrating because it takes

47
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:40,720
a long time for the tree to grow back. Exactly. Okay. Brush drop off is

48
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,680
happening. Yeah. So we opened it up a little earlier this year. It's open

49
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:49,120
during normal business hours. General rule, I would say between eight and three

50
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:53,440
thirty. Give the guys some time to get in and get things moving. You must be a

51
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,720
master on your residence. You require to show a valid ID. We get this every

52
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,760
year. So we'll have contractors coming in. We don't allow for contractors.

53
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,080
This is really for residents that are cleaning up their yard that want to

54
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,400
dump their yard waste there. And it helps them out. That's what this is

55
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,960
about. If you have a contractor doing work, they have to take it wherever they

56
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,480
normally take it for any other job that they're on. And not every community

57
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:19,880
does this. But again, leaves, small branches, things like that. That's all

58
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,160
what you could put in there. You have to show your ID. You have to be a

59
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,760
resident. So that's just the way it works. And where is this drop off? So

60
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:30,360
that'll be at 9150 Valley View Road where we've always had it. Now when

61
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,560
the new building is complete, that's going to change because we're going

62
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,600
to have a drop off location here. But for right now, we're going to have

63
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,040
it down where we've always had it for the past as long as I've been in

64
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:45,560
Macedonia. So yeah. Tell me about Springfest. So Springfest is on April 25th.

65
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:50,040
It'll be held at Longwood Park in the Recreation Center. It'll feature

66
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,960
vendors, activities, food trucks. And in the event of rain, we'll move it

67
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:57,000
inside, which again, we just talked about Ohio being Ohio. I mean, I think

68
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:01,600
we had a swing from 74 degrees down to 28. So you never know, but we'll

69
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:05,000
work with whatever we got. And it's going to be a fun day. Are the

70
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,880
wooded trails finished at Longwood? Unfortunately not. Weather delayed

71
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,880
a lot of the work. And it's very tedious back there getting material in

72
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:16,720
and out and getting things done back there. But we ask people to stay

73
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,960
off from the time being because it's a lot of moisture. Again, it's

74
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,400
Ohio. It's the time of year. Things are wet. We've hit a few snags

75
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,560
with what we're doing. So we're delayed. So we're going to get to

76
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,040
it. But right now, we're in a little bit of a lull. Well, I read

77
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:35,000
the part of this project is a story walk. What is that? So this is

78
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,440
something new. And I was just talking with the park director and

79
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,120
he said it's partnering with the Nardonia branch of Summit County

80
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,960
Library on a story walk for the Wooded Trail, meaning the

81
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,520
visitors will be able to walk the trail and read pages of books

82
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:50,720
that are posted along the trail. Fun, family friendly activity,

83
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,960
not only to encourage reading, but physical activity. And you

84
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,720
can look for updates on that on our social media pages when

85
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,480
that will be ready to go. Having a wife as a teacher, she'll

86
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,760
tell you the most important thing for kids to do is read. And she

87
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,600
pushed that heavy on our children. And I can say that I think

88
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,120
they have success in school because reading was such a high

89
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,400
emphasis. So putting this into our park and having a little bit

90
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,720
of fun on a trail and if you've been on those trails are

91
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,440
really cool. It's kind of fun back there. It's nice place

92
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,000
for you can walk. It's a little shade. If it's warm in

93
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,480
the summer, it's not as hot because obviously the shade

94
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,800
will help that out. But yeah, I think it's going to be

95
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,680
kind of cool. And I don't know if you know the answer to this,

96
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:32,480
but will periodically the storybook change to a new one?

97
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,280
From what I understand, yes. Oh, good. So keep them coming

98
00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:38,560
back. Yeah. All right. If you build it, they'll come.

99
00:06:39,840 --> 00:06:45,040
When do your monthly food trucks begin? So food trucks begin

100
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,680
Thursday, April 30th, and will happen on the last Thursday

101
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,880
of the month until July 27th. And trucks will be parked

102
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,600
in the rec center parking lot as it has been years past.

103
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,160
So everyone looks forward to that. And those trucks usually sell

104
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,040
out of food, which was really neat. That's great. Good.

105
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,320
This summer is the big 250th birthday for our country.

106
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:09,360
Is Macedonia planning anything? We are, and I cannot

107
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,720
divulge it this time. We'll do something in our summer

108
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,000
fest. So it'll be the spirit of Macedonia festival,

109
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,960
and then we'll also have a tribute to the 250th

110
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,480
anniversary. Big things coming. Oh, folded together

111
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,440
It'll be a part of that. We'll have some things contained

112
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,560
therein. And the one thing that I know for sure we're doing

113
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,360
is going to be really cool. And Kat's not out of the bag yet.

114
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,600
So you're going to have to wait on that one. We'll have to

115
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,880
check with you next month. For sure. Tell me about the

116
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,480
senior day trips. So we have April 8th, the Cavs game.

117
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:48,000
April 16th, the glass asylum. April 23rd, the sound of

118
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:53,760
music at Playhouse Square. April 24th, Cleveland Pops

119
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:59,920
Orchestra. And April 30th, spend a day in Oberlin. Oh, that

120
00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:04,080
sounds nice. They all sound nice. I've not, I've yet to hear

121
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:08,160
of a bus trip that was not fun and not light. Good, good.

122
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,720
And we're going to end our show like we always do now,

123
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,680
just for the past few months. It's a new thing

124
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,560
with our Macedonia business of the month. So the business

125
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,920
of the month is Aries Combat. And you got to watch that one.

126
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,280
I think it was a good one for us. All right. Thank you for

127
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:27,040
watching and we'll see you next time.

128
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,600
We are here with our March business of the month. This

129
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,560
one's very exciting to me. We're at Aries Combat with

130
00:08:42,560 --> 00:08:45,280
Dave O'Graft. Thanks for having us in today.

131
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:49,040
Tell us about your business. I've been here for 11 years. I've

132
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,240
been doing mixed martial arts technically for 43 years. My

133
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,480
mom and my dad started me lifelong combat at combat sports.

134
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:02,240
I started karate and with my father and then I went along. I

135
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:07,200
got five black belts between wrestling, Muay Thai, my boxing,

136
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:11,680
my amateur boxing and my full contact story going across the

137
00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:16,640
board. I've got 29 amateur champions ever since I started.

138
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,840
I've worked with eight UFC fighters, a few Bellator fighters,

139
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:24,720
PFL fighters. I've had a BK, well he fought in a BKFC but he

140
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,560
was a BYB world champ in the Diamond Set belt. I've worked

141
00:09:28,560 --> 00:09:32,400
with him. I've had an LFA world champion from Bedford, Ohio,

142
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,600
Drill Thunder Cajaj. He was actually one of my,

143
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,640
truly my first student, would build up the human weapon if

144
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,320
you guys ever heard of the History Channel called the

145
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,240
Human Weapon. He was a college roommates with Paid Manning.

146
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,960
So I got to meet Paid Manning through my journey and stuff like

147
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,320
that with Bill in the Old Twinsburg Powerhouse. And then

148
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,520
when he transferred over and let that over, I actually,

149
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,920
I was the old pro there and amateur, you know, experience

150
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:57,840
and all that stuff. So everybody was asking me, hey

151
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,680
coach, because I was a coach and I didn't really even

152
00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:04,720
know that was truly my thing. So I took it over because

153
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,960
it's been a family thing, you know. And ever since then,

154
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,720
you know, I've had a Ohio House Award. This is my second

155
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,720
time you guys blessed me of being business a month. I'm

156
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,440
just grateful, you know, it's been it's been hard, you know,

157
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:21,200
I mean, believing in a dream, you know, highs and lows,

158
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,080
you know, my mother and my father's been gone. They both

159
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,320
passed. It's been it's been hard, you know what I'm

160
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,320
saying, but I'm grateful for being here. I'm grateful for

161
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,720
helping people and doing what I love. I'm blessed.

162
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,280
Well, we're happy to have you in Macedonia. I'm a big

163
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:37,360
fan of MMA, mixed martial arts, all that stuff. Tell us a

164
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,760
little bit more about what you actually do here, like what

165
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,240
your training is and what you offer to people so they can

166
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,880
come here if they want to help patronize your business.

167
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,520
Sure, sure, sure. This is a true mixed martial arts

168
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:52,720
academy. I think I get a little bit misunderstood. What I

169
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,040
do, I do consultations. That's why we have we win

170
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,760
about 81% of all our competitions and I just

171
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,520
make people better. If I physically, because this

172
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,320
has been my life's journey, if I physically could sit down

173
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,760
and talk to you and consult you and figure out what you

174
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,320
need, I could work. Anybody could be here. That's right. I

175
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,280
mean, I've got little ones. I've had up to the highest

176
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,040
to high, the lowest lows at this place is for

177
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:16,960
everyone truly, but if you really want to be a

178
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,600
champion, this place is an academy. It's not a

179
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,080
gentleman. It's an academy because I I'm totally

180
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,480
focusing on making you the best you physically

181
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,000
could be in life. It doesn't matter. You

182
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,240
don't have to be a champion champion because not

183
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,120
everybody can be a champion but trying to be the

184
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:35,360
best in life is that's the key, right? You have to

185
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,600
try and that's why I'm the epitome of never giving

186
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,240
up. You know, I failed millions of times but I get

187
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,320
up every day and I'm gonna give it my best. I don't

188
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,360
care what it takes. I'm gonna get it done and

189
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,680
that's that. But to be clear, someone wanted to

190
00:11:47,680 --> 00:11:49,760
come here for let's say training or

191
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,480
consultations. You and I have talked many

192
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,360
times. You have football players you work

193
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,360
with. You have wrestlers you work with. You

194
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,040
have people that are interested in mixed martial

195
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:00,960
arts. So you're not you're not just a one-stop

196
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,360
shop for mixed martial arts. You're a much more

197
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,120
than one. Talk about like, you know, like the

198
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,680
Akron football team you were talking about. Yeah.

199
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:09,520
The Akron football team, they're supposed to be

200
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,680
reaching out to me because um, technically, if

201
00:12:11,680 --> 00:12:13,680
you go into judo, that's technically Samba,

202
00:12:13,680 --> 00:12:16,480
right? I I promise you, you can come in here

203
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,160
with 10 in guys. You think X football

204
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,240
players because I worked with Rob Sems before.

205
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,960
He couldn't take me down. Um, you know, I

206
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:24,720
miss, I miss you're gonna put that out to

207
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:26,880
that. Yeah, Rob, Rob, if you're out there, you

208
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,520
heard that. You heard it, Rob. All right. But

209
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:30,720
I'm saying right, but when you used to work

210
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,560
down at the BP down here, you used to go to

211
00:12:32,560 --> 00:12:35,440
the Twinsburg Powerhouse. I love Rob, but but

212
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,440
take me down from here to here. If I could

213
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,520
if I could block you hand fighting, I'm a

214
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,160
keto master in a judo. Judo. I mean, I've

215
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,880
thrown 350 pound people from here to there.

216
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,480
I mean, if I get my hands on you, not,

217
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,880
not, no way. Not even happening.

218
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,200
Um, I'm just saying I'm very confident

219
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:52,960
saying that like physically because it's

220
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:54,960
been a lifelong journey. It's a difference

221
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,040
to like say he drops down and he gets

222
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,360
underneath me and gets my hips down, but

223
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,360
good luck. It's not happening. If I see it

224
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:02,960
coming, it's not happening. You know what I'm

225
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:04,240
saying? Because I could take guns and

226
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:05,840
knives out people's hands. I know how

227
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:07,600
to like break every bone and a body

228
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,280
with 15 pounds of pressure. You know,

229
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,040
this has been my whole life. I know

230
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:12,880
about human anatomy. I know about

231
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,360
nutrition. I know about rehab. I've

232
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,600
had 16 broken bones in my body. You

233
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,440
see me moving around like I can move

234
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,120
around. I can still run under a five

235
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:22,800
minute mile. I can run around 11

236
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,360
a second or mile. You know, 100 dash.

237
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,920
I mean, you know, you know, it's just

238
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,000
been my life's journey. So I get. So

239
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,560
let's just say you're a local kid in

240
00:13:32,560 --> 00:13:35,120
this area and they're looking for a

241
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:36,480
little bit more training for like

242
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:37,680
football. This would be a place they

243
00:13:37,680 --> 00:13:39,840
can come to. 100%. So you can help

244
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,200
to get them to be a little bit more

245
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,280
better with, let's say, tackling or

246
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:44,960
blocking. Positioning and that

247
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:46,400
coordination. What we talked about a

248
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,000
lot in the past is that this is not

249
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,160
just mixed martial arts. This is a

250
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:51,440
lot. You can put it, you can apply

251
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,280
this to other sports because we're a

252
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:54,880
very big athletic community. So I

253
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:56,160
wanted to point that out.

254
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,720
Exactly. I can physically work with

255
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,240
any sports, any team, and I can, I

256
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,360
guarantee you, if we did like a one-on-

257
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:06,800
one, if you specifically wanted to

258
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,640
work on something, I guarantee you I

259
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:09,920
can make you faster. I can make you

260
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,360
stronger. I can educate you about your

261
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,200
body. I can help you throw

262
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,000
pointers about physical rehab. I

263
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,680
can make you just straight better. I,

264
00:14:17,680 --> 00:14:19,280
and I will put, I'll bet that

265
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,280
whatever on the house. I could, I know

266
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:22,640
how to make you better, and that's what

267
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,080
I am. I'm a, I'm like a mindset coach,

268
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:27,760
but I know how to get you, I could

269
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,080
detail, I can simply point things out

270
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:31,760
that's going to educate you in some,

271
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,120
which way or form to make you better

272
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,600
in life. Period. I will bet the

273
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,440
house on it. That's great. And if

274
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:38,960
somebody wanted to look you up,

275
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:40,240
social media, where would they go for

276
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:41,920
that? Well, yeah. I have, I have

277
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:43,760
four Facebooks, you know, Davo

I have a couple Snapchats, Aries Nation.

284
00:14:58,800 --> 00:14:59,920
We also have one of our

285
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:05,000
Our service employees that works with you two a lot. I got a plug Joey here. He's an

286
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,360
animal and we love him and he's a great employee but when he gets in this gym

287
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:13,160
what's Joey like here? Joey's amazing. Me and Joe have been training together since

288
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:19,200
I think 2008-2009 with Bill Duff, the human weapon. You know he started there.

289
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:23,760
He actually trained with you know Devante Smith, Gerro Hodge. We had we

290
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:28,080
literally in 2011 we were at the gym, the flight gym of the year in Ohio.

291
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:34,200
And he was part of that back then you know I mean and he came here and he's he

292
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,200
follows through and you know Joe's an amazing guy you know I'm saying I'm

293
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,000
starting I'm trying to work with Junior now you know he's starting to come in

294
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,480
starting to get in here and you know like that and that's what that's really

295
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:46,400
what you know my mom and my dad wanted me to do you know God bless him you

296
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:51,320
know is just keep giving back and help people. Yeah I think you do a lot of

297
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,160
that here and we're proud to have you and you know it's something I

298
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,280
talk about a lot is the diversity of different types of businesses you know

299
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:01,160
our first two businesses a month were more food related just a little bit

300
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,780
different and I wanted to highlight that with you because what you do in here is

301
00:16:04,780 --> 00:16:07,760
great for the kids and I know you work a lot with the kids can you focus in a

302
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:11,720
little bit more on the kids and what you do with them here? Oh sure because I

303
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:17,560
believe in the old world so it like I work these kids so hard but I my big

304
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:22,680
thing with the kids I really want them to actually listen and take things

305
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:27,720
seriously so they learn to follow through on things and just be able to

306
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:33,240
be confident enough with all the stuff going on in these schools and just do

307
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,400
the right thing you know I mean it's more importantly it's just do the

308
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:41,160
right thing. I also want to point out too this is not just you know a violent

309
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,960
thing here this is something that I don't like it's a good workout it's a

310
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:49,400
good training for for kids for adults it's it's good exercise it's all

311
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,160
the healthy things we want and a lot of times you know if you just go to

312
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,840
the gym and work out this is going to take you to another level and you know

313
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,280
you and I know each other for I don't know four or five years now sure we talk

314
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:02,920
all the time and I love it I enjoy MMA it's kind of a thing for me but we're
