All right, guys, good morning to Sobriety, Spirituality and Sales. Man, I am so excited this morning. Got an incredible guest coming on the show. This is definitely a dream guest, top 10 guests here. So, just super excited. First and foremost, Go Bader State Farm Agency, First and River. Guys, the show only exists because of Mike Bader. If you're in the insurance market right now, if you're looking for a new homeowners insurance, car insurance, RV, whatever it is, Mike and his ladies will take great care of you.
And let's just get right to it. Sam, welcome to the show. Thank you so much for being here. Thank you for your time.

**Sam Taggart** (0:35)
I'm pumped. What the heck? Like what a freaking privilege. And you've got that survivor hat on baby. Little D2D drip. Here we go.

**Mike** (0:43)
I had to represent.

**Sam Taggart** (0:46)
I love it. I love it.

**Mike** (0:48)
Thank you for, you know, I guess it's, I'll just go ahead and mention it. I work for you now. I just, I believe in what you're doing so much. And we had a brief conversation in Sandy about, you know, what you're building, the transformation that you're trying to create in people's lives. And it just aligned with my vision for what I want to have.

**Sam Taggart** (1:06)
Oh, shoot. Am I laggy?

**Mike** (1:09)
No, I don't think so. I think you're good.

**Sam Taggart** (1:11)
Oh, no.

**Mike** (1:14)
It might be on our end.

**Sam Taggart** (1:18)
Well, working here, you know that our Internet sucks, if you can hear me. I might switch to a hotspot.
Oh, shoot.

**Mike** (1:29)
Can you hear him?

**Sam Taggart** (1:32)
I might have better luck with a hotspot.

**Mike** (1:35)
You're good on our end.

**Sam Taggart** (1:49)
Is that better? Am I back?

**Mike** (1:51)
I can hear you. Can you hear me?

**Sam Taggart** (1:57)
Am I back?

**Mike** (2:00)
I can hear you.

**Sam Taggart** (2:04)
Can you hear me?

**Mike** (2:05)
Yeah.

**Sam Taggart** (2:07)
Suck. Is it my computer?
Nothing?

**Mike** (2:22)
I can definitely hear you.

**Sam Taggart** (2:24)
I don't know.

**Mike** (2:27)
Let me text them.

**Sam Taggart** (2:30)
Mine's just like it all froze.

**Mike** (2:44)
Okay.
We are just waiting on Sam to get back in the room, guys. So we have some technical difficulties from time to time. Thank you for bearing with us. I think you're gonna wait. Sam's an incredible guy. He's been running door to door experts for over 10 years. He worked for Vivint for quite a long time. He was the top door to door alarm rep for them. He was also manager in that organization. And like I said, I mean, we just, we both agree on transforming people's lives from the inside out is how people grow their businesses. And he has the scaling side locked down. He has the sales playbook side recruiting all that stuff locked down. And where I come in is I help people who are, you know, they want to get right with themselves. They have internal battles going on. Once you overcome those challenges, then and only then, I believe in my opinion, is when you start to truly grow into the business, the purpose that you have for your life. So hopefully he'll jump back on here in a minute. Looks like, is he calling in?
Are we back?

**Sam Taggart** (4:19)
Yes.

**Mike** (4:20)
You can hear me?

**Sam Taggart** (4:23)
Okay, sorry, I switched to a hotspot just because I think our internet is not that great in our thing, just in case.

**Mike** (4:29)
All good. It might be on our end, so. For being here, appreciate you, man.

**Sam Taggart** (4:36)
I'm pumped, sorry about that. If we're live, we apologize, internet problem, things happen.

**Mike** (4:41)
But we are, by the way.

**Sam Taggart** (4:45)
Okay, well, let's dive in. I'm pumped to be here.

**Mike** (4:48)
Sounds good, man. Hey, so, first of all, I know you a bit. I'm getting to know you. You're an incredible guy who's just kind of filling in the audience as you were jumping off and hopping back on. But you worked for Vivint for a long time. You grew up doing door to door since you were like a young kid. So you sold, you were a top selling alarm rep. You worked for a solar company. You grew that business. And then you hopped into your own thing. But I think what's even more impressive to me is like, was it your grandfather that freaking did door to door riding a horse in Idaho? You were telling me.
