Today we're going all the way to Los Angeles, California to talk with George Liu. George, you're running a company called Jim Pillars. So tell us a little bit about Jim Pillars and about how you've managed to get the brand of Jim Pillars. Pillars. Notice. Let's start there and start with your story.

Yeah.

That'S a good.

Question. So how we first got started, similar to any other entrepreneurs? Well, I didn't know I was an entrepreneur and I didn't know anything about entrepreneurship. So what it took to get this off the ground, it was actually a lot of hustle. I was just doing anything and everything I can to just build traction. And what I realized, I just needed to talk to people because ultimately businesses, especially service based businesses, it's built by people, for people. So for me, I took the fastest approach, which is cold calling, a skill that I realized I needed to learn earlier on. However, I just didn't know how to do it effectively. So for me, like how I landed my very first client, that wasn't within my internal network. It was just through sheer cold calling. It was identifying which gyms I want to work with. And it was extremely helpful in terms of just understanding what, where the market is. Because the market is just a pool of people that you're choosing to serve, right? So the more you engage with the market, the more you understand their habits and who they are and what they care about and what they have been through, the better you're able to serve them. So the more dialogue that I had, I almost treat it as an interview.
