“Revolutionize Investing With Private Money with Jay Conner!”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eVMKVZhLv4&t=1425s
If you’re looking to fast-track your real estate investing journey, there’s one topic you simply can’t afford to ignore—private money. In a recent episode of “Raising Private Money,” renowned investor Jay Conner sat down with Kenner French for a high-impact conversation about how private money has transformed his business and the lives of his investors. Here are the key takeaways you need to know.
From Banker Rejection to Private Money Revolution
Jay Conner did not start with a Rolodex full of eager lenders. In fact, he shared how, for years, he relied on traditional banking relationships for his real estate deals—until everything changed during the 2009 financial crisis. When his go-to line of credit was suddenly yanked with no warning, Jay had two deals under contract and nowhere to turn for funding.
What seemed like a crisis quickly turned into the opportunity of a lifetime: the discovery of private money. Unlike hard money or institutional funds, private money comes from individuals—ordinary people with capital in investment accounts or retirement funds, seeking better returns.
According to Jay Conner, “I’m talking about doing business with individuals, human beings just like you, just like me, that loan money to us real estate investors either from their investment capital or their retirement funds.”
The “Never Ask” Method: Attracting Private Lenders
One of the most surprising aspects of Jay Conner’s approach is that he never asks for money. Instead, he separates the conversation between teaching prospects about private lending and presenting them with deals.
Here’s how it works:
- Education First: Jay Conner puts on his “teacher hat” and educates potential lenders about what private money is, how the process works, and the safety and returns they can expect. There’s no property or deal discussed at this point—just learning.
- Find Out Their Capability: Prospective lenders are invited to share how much they might be interested in investing and whether it’s in cash or retirement funds.
- The “Good News” Phone Call: When a suitable deal arises, Jay Conner calls the investor and announces, “I can now put your money to work.” He specifies the amount, property, and closing details—but never asks, “Would you like to fund this deal?” The deal matches the criteria already discussed, so moving forward is a logical next step.
This technique eliminates the fear of rejection, positions the investor as an opportunity provider, and keeps the relationship collaborative instead of desperate. As Jay puts it, “Desperation has got a smell to it… It’s all about leading with a servant’s heart, truly. Because there’s more money available than there are deals.”
Why Private Money Changes Everything
Jay Conner emphasized that with private money, real estate entrepreneurs are no longer at the mercy of strict lender requirements. “In this world, the lender does not make the rules. We make the rules. We set the interest rate, we set the terms,” he explained. This only works, he notes, when you’re educating people who haven’t yet heard about private lending.
And the benefits aren’t exclusive to investors. Many of Jay Conner’s private lenders have written him heartfelt notes about the life-changing impact of reliable, higher returns—often turning stagnant CDs or underperforming stocks into vehicles for financial freedom.
Golden Lessons and Pitfalls to Avoid
For those just starting, Jay Conner strongly recommends finding a mentor or partnering with those who have experience: “The first six years I was out here on an island by myself, wasting and losing hundreds of thousands of dollars… Join hips with somebody… that can hold your hand, for goodness sakes, get a mentor coach, without a doubt.”
And remember: every property should be analyzed so it cash flows as a rental, even if your exit strategy is to flip. “Don’t do it unless you can cash flow it if you’ve got to rent it out,” Jay Conner warns, sharing hard lessons from his early career.
Conclusion:
Private money is not just a funding source—it’s a mindset shift and a life-changing opportunity for both investors and lenders. If you’re ready to level up your real estate business and impact lives for the better, take a page from Jay Conner’s playbook: educate, serve, and lead with integrity.

Jay Conner’s Guide to Creating Win-Win Opportunities Using Private Money
Jay Conner [00:00:00]:
Here’s the lesson in the world of single-family or condos or townhouses, or whatever. If your intent, if your intended strategy or exit strategy is to flip it, fantastic. I’ve bought and sold over 500. I’ve rehabbed over 500 houses and flipped them. However, do not buy the property even with your intended exit strategy of flipping. Don’t do it unless you can cash flow it if you’ve got to rent it out.
Narrator [00:00:31]:
If you’re a real estate investor and are wondering how to raise and leverage private money to make more profit on every deal, then you’re in the right place. On raising private money, we’ll speak with new and seasoned investors to dissect their deals and extract the best tips and strategies to help you get the money. Because the money comes first. Now here’s your host, Jay Conner.
Kenner French [00:01:03]:
If you want money for real estate, Jay Connor is your guy. If you want to learn about getting money for real estate, Jay Connor’s your guy. Jay, thanks for being her,e here, bud.
Jay Conner [00:01:12]:
Oh my lands. Thank you so much, my friend, for inviting me to come along. Talk about my most passionate topic, that being private money, because ever since using private money all the way back to 2009, I’ve never missed out on a deal for not having the money. You know what’s so funny? I’ve never asked for money, and I get all my deals funded without ever asking. I can’t wait to talk about it.
Kenner French [00:01:37]:
Well, tell me about that. First of all, you’ve never had to ask for money, but somehow money arrives. Tell me about that, and then tell me about you. JAKE on sure.
Jay Conner [00:01:46]:
Well, I’ve never asked for money. And here’s the way it works. So from 2003 until 2009, all I knew to do was to go to the local bank, apply for the mortgage, have a line of credit, traditional financing, right? Pull my skirt up so the banker can see my personal assets, give me a colonoscopy, pull my credit. You know, that’s all I knew to do. But you know, everything changed in January 2009. I called up my banker and had two houses under contract to purchase. I learned my line of credit had been closed with no notice whatsoever. And of course, that’s because the financial crisis, the global financial crisis was going on.
Jay Conner [00:02:28]:
So that’s when I learned about private money. And so when I learned about private money, and I’m not talking hard money, I’m not talking institutional money, which, by the way, I say establish as many relationships as you can with as many people. Some of my best friends on this planet are hard money lenders. They use my techniques to raise money for their funds. But anyway, establish as many relationships as you can. But when I’m talking private money, I’m talking about doing business with individuals, human beings just like you, just like me, that loan money to us real estate investors either from their investment capital or their retirement funds. So when I was cut off from the bank, here’s what I decided to do. How am I going to attract money? No chasing, no begging, no selling, no persuading. How am I going to attract the funding without ever having to ask for money? And here’s the deal.
Jay Conner [00:03:22]:
One of the most common comments I get from new real estate investors and they’ll say, Jay, I have a fear of rejection. Well, here’s my question. How can you be rejected if you never ask anybody for anything? So let me pull the curtain back. Let me reveal how to get your deals funded. Now I’m talking in the world of single-family, it’s a little different in multifamily, right? But in the world of single-family houses, here’s how to get your deals funded without ever asking for money. The secret is here: you separate the conversations with a potential private lender, which, by the way, I got 47 private lenders right now, and not one of them had ever heard of private money or private lending until I did. What? Until I put on my teacher hat. My teacher had said private money.
Jay Conner [00:04:16]:
Teacher, right. They all 47 of them, never heard of private money or private lending until I told them about it and told them about it. So here’s the secret. We separate conversations. This is critical, critical to understand, separate conversations from exposing the opportunity, teaching someone what this world of private money is all about, how they can earn high rates of return on their investment capital, and or the retirement fund,s safely and securely expose them to this world that they’ve never heard of before and have no deal attached to it. You’ve got the opportunity, you’ve got the program. Here’s how the program works. So you teach it, and then they let you know how much they’ve got, they want to invest, et cetera.
Jay Conner [00:05:04]:
Is it in retirement funds? Do you need to introduce them to your self-directed IRA representative for them to move funds over, et cetera? So they’re just first of all excited about the program. They tell you how much they have to work with. So that’s first. That’s first. And of course, there’s a whole conversation about how to find these people and how to teach it to them and all that. Is it in one conversation? Is it in a group? We can talk about that, but keep it simple. So first, we’re going to teach it, expose this opportunity, and teach them the interest rate.
Jay Conner [00:05:38]:
It’s going to be the same interest rate no matter the deal. The interest rate, the loan-to-value, the length of the note, the frequency of payments, how they can get their money back in case of an emergency, etc. Okay, we’re excited about the program. So now here’s the script. They tell me how much they’ve got to invest, and they can’t wait to get involved. And then I tell them, I will put your money to work for you just as soon as possible. Now, let’s assume that you are one of my new private lenders. Okay? Okay, let’s say we go to church together, okay? And we had gone to Starbucks, and we’re talking along, and I had said, By the way, did you know there’s a way that people can earn unlimited money per year, tax-free? And of course, you didn’t know the answer to that.
Jay Conner [00:06:28]:
So we talked about self-directed IRAs and how that works. Well, in the conversation, I learned that you have got $150,000 in retirement funds somewhere. Okay, maybe you had it in Schwab, Morgan Stanley, a previous 401k, whatever. And so I introduced you to my self-directed IRA representative that I recommend. And let’s assume you’ve moved your $150,000 over to the self-directed IRA company. You’ve got your account established, you’re ready to go, and you are waiting for what I call the good news phone call. The good news phone call. All right, so I pick up the phone.
Jay Conner [00:07:09]:
You know, it’s hard to believe folks, but we actually still have handsets and cords, you know, here in Morehead City, North Carolina. But anyway, so I pick up the phone, I call you, you answer the phone, and we have a little chat. Excuse me. Now here’s the script. Here’s the exact script as to what I say to you, my new private lender, without asking you for any money. Here’s the script. You pick up the phone, I say, I’ve got great news for you. I can now put your money to work.
Jay Conner [00:07:41]:
I’ve got a house in Newport under contract with an after-repaired value of $200,000. Now the funding required is $150,000 for the deal, which matches up to what you have. Closing is going to be next Tuesday. So you’ll need to have your funds wired to my real estate Attorney’s trust account by next Monday. I’m going to have my attorney email you the wiring instructions. That’s the end of the conversation. I mean, the most stupid thing I could say is you want to fund the deal. Well, of course, you want to fund the deal for a variety of reasons. Number one, you moved your funds over at my recommendation to the retirement to the Silver IRA company.
Jay Conner [00:08:24]:
And my recommendation is sitting there. It’s not earning you any money until I put it to work, and I promised you I’d put it to work. Secondly, I’m not going to bring a deal for you to fund unless it matches the criteria that I already taught you. Notice. Notice. When I said, Let’s unpack. What I said, notice. I said, I’ve got a house under contract with an after-repaired value of $200,000.
Jay Conner [00:08:51]:
Then I said, the funding required for the deal is $150,000. Now let’s unpack that. I already taught you, as my new private lender, I’m not going to borrow more than 75% of the after-repaired value. So in my script, when I called you up with the good news phone call, I said, I got great news for you. I can now put your money to work. I got a house under contract with an after-repair valuer. There’s the keyword with an after-repair value of 200,000. The funding required for the deal is $150,000.
Jay Conner [00:09:27]:
I already know that matches up to what you moved over. And then here we go. So you see, when you do, when you do it this way, and you separate the conversations, I am morally and ethically bound to put your money to work and to borrow your money because I promised you I would. I exposed you to this opportunity. And here’s another reason we separate the conversations. And I never have to ask for money. Here’s a writer downer. Desperation has got a smell to it.
Jay Conner [00:10:00]:
And if I, if I had shared with you the opportunity, the property lending program, and you never heard that before, and I got a deal for you to fund and the initial conversation, I already sound like I’m desperate without even trying to. Because when I’m talking the the program, the opportunity, and a deal, in essence, I’m saying I really need you to fund this deal, right? So it’s all about positioning. No chasing, no begging, no selling, no persuading. It’s all about leading with a servant’s heart, truly. Because here’s the deal. There’s more money available than there are deals. Literally, there’s more money. And so you know, this whole mind shift, you know, the traditional way to borrow money from the local bank or a hard money lender, any kind of institutional money, is that the lender makes the rules.
Jay Conner [00:10:52]:
That’s all we know.
Kenner French [00:10:53]:
That is 100% true. Without a doubt.
Jay Conner [00:10:55]:
The lender makes the rules. But change your thinking. In this world, the lender does not make the rules. We make the rules. We set the interest rate, we set the terms. Now, this only works. Bear in mind, this only works if you are teaching people who have never been exposed to this world. Obviously, if I’m talking to, let’s say, I’m at a networking event, Zoom, in person, whatever.
Jay Conner [00:11:25]:
Let’s say I’m at a networking event at a self-directed IRA company. Okay, well, 70% of those people, actually more than 70% of those people who have accounts, want to loan you money. They want to loan you money. They want to be a passive real estate investor by loaning money from their self-directed IRA companies. But guess what, guess what, I’m not putting on my teacher hat. They already know, right? So what is that conversation? Looks like that conversation is a negotiation conversation or it’s, or it’s a conversation where that private lender has already been loaning money out. So guess what? They know what they want. They know what their terms are.
Jay Conner [00:12:09]:
In their mind, they are making the rules, right? Like, here’s what, here’s what I, here’s, here’s what I get, I get points, here’s my rate, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Take it or leave it. But in this world of being a teacher, you see 99% of the people walking around never heard of a self-directed IRA in their lives. 100%.
Kenner French [00:12:27]:
Yeah. Which is surprising.
Jay Conner [00:12:28]:
But yeah, they never heard it. And you come along, and you have this conversation, and they’re going, whoa, whoa, what in the world? I never heard of this. And so now here you are, the expert, offering an opportunity to people that never heard of this kind of opportunity. So it changes the dynamic. 180%. In Kentucky, they call it a 360. It’s not a 360, it’s a 180. Right? So it changes the dynamic.
Jay Conner [00:12:58]:
Opposite direction. We make the rules. We’re offering an opportunity. There are no applications. Hello? There are no applications. You’re already approved because you are your own. Wrap your mind around this. You, as the borrower, are your own underwriter.
Jay Conner [00:13:19]:
You underwrite your own deals.
Kenner French [00:13:21]:
So you’re really, if you really think about it, you really are a teacher. I mean, the hat displays that. But really, you are a teacher of the whole process. You’ve been doing it for a while.
Jay Conner [00:13:29]:
I mean, yeah.
Kenner French [00:13:30]:
By the way, we have a surprise at the end of this. We’re going to unveil that in just a little bit. But you really are a teacher. I mean, obviously, you’ve got a good reputation. You’ve been doing it for a while, but in essence, that’s really what you are.
Jay Conner [00:13:39]:
Absolutely. And that’s my mindset. I mean, you know, I didn’t get this when I started doing this way back in 2009, but it didn’t take long for my wife Carol Joy and me to start receiving, listen, handwritten notes in the mail, for goodness sakes, from our private lenders thanking us for changing their retirement years. I’m thinking of Wayne and Francis. They’ve passed away now. They were one of our very first private lenders. One of our very first private lenders. And I put on my teacher hat, taught them, and look, and they started with $500,000.
Jay Conner [00:14:21]:
And they referred a lot of people to us, but, you know, we learned. So this was an awake-up call. This was a light bulb moment when we got that handwritten note thanking us for changing their retirement years. I went, Wow. They went on to tell us that they could travel and see their grandkids anytime they wanted to. And they couldn’t do that before we came along with our program because, you see, they were losing money in the stock market at the time that I talked to them about it. And by the way, how I approached them is an interesting story. But they had, they were losing money in the stock market.
Jay Conner [00:14:56]:
They were only making 3% in the local certificate of deposit. So their principal investment amount was dwindling, and when they liquidated their stocks and invested with us, and liquidated their certificate of deposits and invested with us, they got a reliable 8% percent. It was like, I mean, they earned $40,000 a year by investing with us, and they didn’t. And they, they weren’t earning $40,000 a year. That’s 8% of 500,000. They weren’t earning $40,000 A YEAR. They were earning Social Security and a little bit of retirement.
Jay Conner [00:15:39]:
You know, so, you know, when you have that mindset of you really want to make an impact, make a difference, and create win-win scenarios and really serve these people that haven’t even heard of this opportunity, it’s just a wonderful feeling.
Kenner French [00:15:55]:
It really is an opportunity. I mean, again, it blows me away that people are looking at 3% rates, returns, or whatever, and certificates of deposit CDs when there are so many things out there. But, and I mean, thank goodness people like you are out there. But it’s hard to get the word out when some advisors are saying, Oh, put money in a CD when you could be putting money into, you know, deals like what you were talking about. They’re hopefully a little bit safer, and then hopefully you’re going to have a better rate of return. Even that’s neither here nor there. So tell me a little bit about yourself, by the way. I want to know a little bit about you because obviously, I know you have a good background.
Kenner French [00:16:26]:
I think some of the listeners and viewers might not know who Jake Connor is, but go ahead and tell us a little bit about your background, real quick.
Jay Conner [00:16:32]:
Sure. Well, Carol, Joy, and I started investing in single-family houses here in eastern North Carolina. Really small market, only 40,000 people. Started with 40,000 people. Still got 40,000 people. And so we started out in 2003 here in our little local area. And from 2003 to 2009, all I knew to do was to go to the local bank. I never even heard of hard money lenders.
Jay Conner [00:17:00]:
That’s all I knew. And so when I lost my line of credit in January of 2009, then that’s when we started using private money. So we do two or three transactions a month, not high volume, but our average profits right now are $86,000 per single-family house flip deal. Holy.
Kenner French [00:17:22]:
Okay, wow. Talking about good money.
Jay Conner [00:17:24]:
I like that per deal. I don’t say that, by the way, to brag or come from a position of ego. I say that to make a point. And my point is there’s a very, very strong argument to be made to dominate a small market, be a big fish in a small pond, versus trying to invest in the big cities. And you’re competing with all those other real estate investors. I get most of my leads from pay-per-lead on Google. I’ve got five different vendors. I’m paying the average $200 per lead, and I need to pay now.
Kenner French [00:18:00]:
Hold on, you mean right now you are?
Jay Conner [00:18:02]:
Yeah, right now. $200 per lead, and I’m depending on the vendor. It takes 10 to 15 leads to close a deal and purchase a house. So I’m investing between 2000 and $3000 in marketing to close on a deal. But here’s the question. How many $3,000 would you pay to get 86,000 back?
Kenner French [00:18:28]:
The trade-off is there for you. I get you. Okay. Thank you for relinquishing that information.
Jay Conner [00:18:33]:
B, it said I relinquished my secret.
Kenner French [00:18:38]:
I understand.
Jay Conner [00:18:38]:
Wow.
Kenner French [00:18:39]:
There’s actually a marketing. I mean, we could ask you marketing questions, too. But anyway, thank you for giving us a little bit of background. So then what else? Give me. How about one tip as far as. Besides what you’ve already given me. Give me one tip as far as looking at a deal that you think makes sense, that can make me, I don’t know, that much richer.
Jay Conner [00:18:59]:
Well, let me share with your audience what not to do.
Kenner French [00:19:03]:
That’s a tough question, by the way, because.
Jay Conner [00:19:05]:
Because I made a huge mistake. Huge mistake. And this was before private money. This was before. This was when I had a line of credit at the bank. I. There was this condominium, an oceanfront condominium over here at Atlantic Beach. I only been, I’d only been to the business for a couple of years.
Jay Conner [00:19:21]:
And so it was a foreclosure being sold at the courthouse steps. Here’s the big mistake. I ran the numbers with the intention of flipping the condo, an oceanfront condo. And that’s the offer I made with my intended exit strategy to flip it and sell it. Here’s the big mistake. I didn’t run the numbers as to whether it would cash flow if I had to hold it. Well, this. Well, this condominium only had in.
Jay Conner [00:19:54]:
Could only get income for 13 weeks out of the year. June, June, July, or May, June, July, August, first weekend in September. So by the time I bought it, renovated it, rehabbed it, put it on the market, accelerated the price, the market started coming down. The market started coming down quickly. Now bear in mind, this was 2004, 2005. Now, we weren’t into the crash of 2007, 8, 9, but still, the prices were starting to come down. So being very stubborn and stupid and idiotic, I sat on my price and wouldn’t reduce my price as other prices are coming down, as other sold comps are coming down. I mean, I was like an ostrich with my tail in the air and my head in the sand.
Jay Conner [00:20:44]:
So by the time I woke up and said, Hey, I got to reduce the price, I couldn’t sell it for what I owed. Guess what I had to do. I had to stop the bleeding. Had to. I had those carrying costs. I mean, this was a $350,000 condominium. And so what I had to do I put it on the rental market. So for several years, it was a blood bath, bloodbath, losing money every year based on what I could bring in versus what the underlying debt was.
Jay Conner [00:21:15]:
So what’s the lesson? Here’s the lesson. In the world of single-family or condos or townhouses or whatever, if your intent, if your intended strategy or exit strategy is to flip it, fantastic. I’ve bought and sold over 500. I’ve rehabbed over 500 houses and flipped them. However, do not buy the property even with your intended as a strategy of to flip. Don’t do it unless you can cash flow it. If you’ve got to rent it out, your plan B.
Kenner French [00:21:47]:
That’s a really, really good point. That’s hugely impactful to people out there, why it should be, because sometimes deals don’t go as they are planned. And so you need a good plan.
Jay Conner [00:21:57]:
Absolutely. Yeah. And look, Murphy shows up in every house, and you all know who Murphy is, right? Murphy shows. And so, I mean, that triggers a whole other conversation that we don’t have time for in this show because we’re talking about private money. But that triggers a whole other conversation about how in the world are you really, really sure of what the maximum offer should be if you’re paying all cash? Right. Well, the good news is in my book, where to get the money now, I got you covered, so you don’t make that mistake of paying too much.
Kenner French [00:22:31]:
Yeah, let’s talk about that because you know, we’re getting ready to close the door on this episode, which is sad because there’s so much information you have. But you know, I said there was going to be a surprise at the end. Why don’t you go ahead and mention what the surprise is and how to get that surprise?
Jay Conner [00:22:43]:
Absolutely. Well, I’m so excited to talk about for a moment my book, my best-selling book, which is called Where to Get the Money. No, the subtitle is how and where to get money for your real estate deals without ever relying on traditional institutional or hard money lenders. This is not an e-book. This is actually a book. And I know you may be surprised to know that the United States Postal Service is still in business. So I will actually, I will actually three day express this book to you. Now, if you’re listening to this show, this book will unpack private money for you.
Jay Conner [00:23:18]:
And the book is 20 bucks on Amazon. Don’t spend 20 bucks on Amazon. The book is free because you’re here listening to the show. Just cover shipping and handling, and you can pick up my book. I’l, I’ll autograph it for you, rush it to you at www.JayConner.com/Book.
Kenner French [00:23:46]:
Very nice. I mean, that’s a huge benefit. 20 bucks right off the bat. And not only is it worth $20, but it’s worth a lot more because of your base. It looks like you spilled out all your secrets as far as increasing net worth based on some of the philosophies that you.
Jay Conner [00:23:59]:
Absolutely, Absolutely.
Kenner French [00:24:02]:
So even separate from that, although that’s awesome. But how does someone get a hold of you if they’re interested in whatever the whole concept of private money lending is?
Jay Conner [00:24:10]:
Well, believe it or not, I like to talk to people. Talk to people. So why don’t we just give them my phone number for goodness’s sake? Right? 252808, 2927. Yes. I may be opening up Pandora’s box. I get it. But we, you know, we actually pick up the phone, you know, when you call 252808, 2927, and you can just go to my website, www.JayConner.com, you can email me from there if you’d rather email than talk to me.
Jay Conner [00:24:43]:
Got it.
Kenner French [00:24:44]:
And again, it’s, er.
Jay Conner [00:24:45]:
Not. Or. Yeah, yeah.
Kenner French [00:24:48]:
All right, so how about this in closing, what’s one thing we haven’t talked about, you think can add value to people who, you know, are interested in hard money, lending private money, lending or talking to you, or being the private money lender, or learning more about private money? What’s one thing, one little tidbit that you think will add value?
Jay Conner [00:25:05]:
Well, I’m not going to give you one little tidbit. I’m going to give you one big rock. Okay.
Kenner French [00:25:10]:
Like it.
Jay Conner [00:25:12]:
In fact, this is one big gold rock, not a nugget. And that is, don’t make the other mistake that I made, which was starting this business by yourself. The first six years, I was out here on an island by myself, wasting and losing hundreds of thousands of dollars in money and crazy stuff. So join hips with somebody, either in your local area, a who knows what they’re doing. Joiwithth. I don’t know, Ken, or I don’t know if you’re helping people or not, but join hips with somebody that knows the ropes, that has made the mistakes, that can hold your hand, for goodness sakes, get a mentor coach, without a doubt.
Kenner French [00:25:55]:
Because if you’re, I mean, as an example, by the way, you’re not paid for this. I’m not paid for this. We’re doing this as a benefit to listeners and viewers out there. But what I would say is, why try to go it on your own? Why take years trying to learn investment philosophy, you know, bend the ear,r joint hips, as you say, with someone like you, and then that’ll cut down the learning experience, the cost that it pays to learn from whomever, all the losses that you’re undergoing because you haven’t figured out yourself. And then, who knows, maybe you’re going to increase your net worth by attaching hips to someone like you.
Jay Conner [00:26:26]:
That’s it. That’s it.
Kenner French [00:26:27]:
I like it. I like it a lot. I really appreciate you taking the time.
Kenner French [00:26:30]:
The same thing for all the people who are out there listening and watching this. Hopefully, you’ve had some true value. That’s been provided by Jay Connor with er. By the way, I think this has been a great learning experience. I love talking to you. I mean, I’ve seen you in action. I know people who have said good things about you. We have some clients in common who I know have said good things about you.
Kenner French [00:26:49]:
I think they should definitely go to your website and get that free book. I really appreciate you extending that nicety to all our people out there. Well, anyway, once again, this is Kenneth French of Vast Solutions Group.com, you’re listening and watching vast voices telling business secrets to entrepreneurs. Thanks, everybody.
