What do my dogs have to do with roofing? The answer is nothing. But they have everything to do with the charitable announcement I'm making right now that coincides with my Black Friday sale, which was designed for one reason, and that is to feed the hungry. Let me tell you a story of how this came to be. Listen, if you're interested to participate, there's links to everything. If you want to hear the story, stick around. Just click the video link description below. You'll see everything there. Here's the story. These dogs, both rescues, Luna is the one laying down, Maddie's the one standing up. My wife cooks them their meals. She makes batches of chicken with beef and organs and rice and beef stock. We even save our bacon grease. So we're feeding the dogs the other day and they're salivating. And I'm sitting there giving them treats after dinner, calling them in from outside, and they're eating freeze dried beef. And I turn to my wife, Sheena, and I say, sheena, Maddie said these dogs eat better than many people do in our country. And to me, that is a massive, massive problem. And when you actually compare the human rights and human health of one of our citizens, one of our fellow man, to my companion dog, that's kind of eye opening. And that's what led me and my wife to wanting to do this charity drive together. That it's not just about a Black Friday sale. It's about incentivizing and giving you a gift to pay it forward where everybody wins. And my goal through this is to feed thousands of mouths, thousands of hungry people by providing thousands of meals for every order. And here's how it works. You get a discount for every order, no matter how small. We will be donating to feed 100 people. That will mean every order feeds 100 mouths. Every order 100 meals on your behalf. Okay? And I want you just to understand the charity behind this. I will happily provide links. I will happily be as transparent as possible to know that I'm putting my skin in the game. Because Feeding America Food bank and I'm supporting a food bank that's a rep of one of theirs, a branch, they provide 94 cents of every dollar straight to feeding mouths. Okay? So every single penny goes directly to them. No processing fees. I'm not playing any games. I will provide 100 meals on your behalf for every single order. Listen, if you're a customer already and you wish to participate, all you need to do is make a donation. Any donation that comes in, no matter how big or how Small. I will provide an additional donation of 100 meals. Okay. So you have the option to participate in this with me whether or not you're a customer. All you need to do is go to Feeding America, make that donation, forward me the receipt. I will donate an additional 100 meals as a way of saying thank you for joining me on this journey and on this challenge to provide meals for thousands of people. And listen, in the interest of being thankful, I just want to say how thankful I am for you. How thankful I am for you helping create this. How thankful I am for you allowing me to wake up every single day absolutely loving what I do and supporting you. The roofing salesperson, the sales manager, the owner, the aspiring roofing salesperson. Use this industry as a true catalyst for personal development. And the byproduct of that of you growing personally in this role is earning a damn good income, providing for yourself, providing for your family, and providing opportunities, opportunities that weren't accessible to you. And there's plenty of them that I didn't have until I fell into this business. And it's because of that, of what I have now. And I believe it's our responsibility to pay it forward. And often we lose sight of what we're thankful for because we're like, oh, man, I missed that commission. It could have been extra thousand bucks, two thousand, five thousand bucks, whatever it is. But at the end of the day, when you actually think about what it is you're grateful for, it's a warm meal. It's waking up in a bed with heat cooling if you're down south. Comfortable, clean sheets, knowing you got a spare in the closet, a roof over your head, putting on clean clothes in the morning, jumping in a shower with running water, heated water, opening up your fridge that's stocked, having coffee with breakfast, driving your truck, having reliable transportation. It's the little things that we overlook. And in this season of Thanksgiving, I encourage you to really get to the base of it. What are you grateful for? I'm grateful for a lot of things on a grander scale. But when I really get down to the nitty gritty, I'm grateful for the people in my lives, for my wife, for my family, for people like you who supported this entire mission. And I encourage you to join me. I'm paying it forward over Thanksgiving. Think about what you're grateful for and give. And whether you want to participate through taking advantage of a Black Friday sale or simply making a donation, either way is fine by me. And it can help us fulfill our mission of feeding thousands of hungry people, especially right now through the holidays. The last thing I'm going to say is this. I would love to feed thousands of mouths before Black Friday. Excuse me? Before Thanksgiving. The Black Friday sale ends on Cyber Monday. The end of Cyber Monday. However, if you can help me, we can get these meals fed to people by Thanksgiving. Let's make a strong push. And I will make these donations before Thanksgiving to feed people and provide Thanksgiving an opportunity to folks who need it more than us. Thank you for joining me. To participate, please use the links in the video description below. I will provide links to both the Black Friday sale along with the direct link to donate to Feed America. Thank you again. Let's pay it forward and stay tuned for Thursday's video where you're going to see these two white pups as a cameo teaching you how to overcome fear because of lessons from a rescue dog. Click the links in the video description right now to check out the Black Friday promotion and and the charitable contributions of how you can feed 100 mouths. We'll see you soon.
