Go check it out. All right, so I just want to share something cool. So if you listened to the last podcast, I kind of, I don't know if I was whining, but it was after I got done with the kids' wrestling practice. And I was just like, man, that was hard. And none of them wanted to be there, and they wanted to be there, but it was just like, it was a lot harder than I thought,

and kids broke out in fights in the middle of practice. Colette was gone to a bar class, and then Ellie came out with Nora, who had a huge poop, so I'm changing a poop while I'm trying to coach, and it was just crazy. So anyway, Sunday, Super Bowl Sunday, we went out to the gym, because I don't know, I like trying to coach, and like, it was just crazy, so anyway, Sunday, Super Bowl Sunday, we went out to the gym, because, I don't know, I like watching the commercials, but I don't really care that much about football, and the night before was the wrestling Super Bowl, basically,

Penn State and Ohio State wrestled, it was the greatest duel I think I've ever seen, ever, so that was my Super Bowl, Saturday night, Sunday, it was just like, going to church, and then play with the kids, so, and then coming for the commercials, like, that's kind of how we do it, so, anyway, we went out in the wrestling room, and we get out there, and Aiden, my little seven-year-old, and then play with the kids. And then come in for the commercials. That's kind of how we do it. So anyway, we went out in the wrestling room and we get out there and Aiden, my little seven-year-old, who the whole time was like, I don't want to wrestle. This is scary.

I don't know. You know, all that kind of stuff. He's like, Dad, watch this. And he did the moves. He did them the way that I taught him. He did his drop step perfectly. And then he came and he did push-pull. He did his underhooks.

Everything I taught him, he did perfectly. And he was all excited and he and i was like oh my gosh it already is happening like he actually liked wrestling though he hated the entire experience the next day when he like knew the move he loved it and um anyway it was it was exciting and so i just want to show it to you guys because that was awesome so all right so i got one quick thing to share with you guys today as we're about to start a week-long crazy hackathon with Todd and Ryan, everybody in-house. And this is something we learned from the book Remote. If you haven't read the book Remote yet, or Rework, actually anything from those guys over at 37signals, they're awesome.

I think it was Remote. Yeah, because when we launched ClickFunnels initially, we were thinking about making a remote Boise and that kind of stuff, and then we decided not I think it was remote. Yeah, because when we launched ClickFunnels initially, we were thinking about making it remote in Boise and that kind of stuff, and then we decided not to and do more remote. So we've got about 20-so people in Boise, and then everyone else, 130 people are all remote, which is crazy.

So we've used a lot of what Jason Freed and those guys have trained on is like our Bible for growing our company because they grew Basecamp and they did something similar. But one thing they talked about in remote was once a quarter, they bring everybody in together to get that proximity so they can work together for a week, and then they go back out on their own.

So that's what this week is. Everyone's flying in, and we're all going to be together. And we're working on a bunch of really cool things for ActionXMD, which is going live at Funnel Hacking Live. What's ActionXMD, Russell? Oh, only the greatest thing ever. If you thought ClickFunnels was cool before, if you thought ActionX was cool before

wait till MD comes out because this is where we're taking it to the next level I'm excited for that so I encourage you if you have a remote team get them together come together Tony Robbins talks about it

proximity is power and so even if you have a remote team that's okay get them together fly them together go to a hotel room something get them together

because that proximity is power. And it gives you time to brainstorm and be together. And amazing stuff happens from it. So if you haven't read the book Remote, go and read it. Because you can build amazing companies and cultures even remotely like we have. Which we were really scared of initially. But it's worked. It's worked really, really well.

But the big key of it is what we're doing this week. So I'm sure if you're watching Funnel Hacker TV behind the scenes show, you'll see a little behind the scenes of what's happening. If not, you're missing out. So be there, be square. All right, guys, appreciate you all. Have an amazing day and we'll see you guys soon. Bye, everybody.
