man, that was hard, and none of them wanted to be there, and they were, they wanted to be there, but it was just like, it was just, it was a lot harder, I thought, and kids broke out in fights, the middle of practice, um, Colette was gone to a bar class. And then, so Ellie came out with Nora, who had a huge poop, so I changed to get poop while I'm 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 was the greatest duel I think I've ever seen ever. So that was my Superbowl Saturday night, Sunday. It was just like going to church and then play with the kids. So,

um, and then coming for the commercials, like that's kind of how we do it. So, um, anyway, we went out in the wrestling room and we get out there and ain't 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 kinds of stuff. He's like, Dad, watch this, and he did the moves. Like, 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, like, everything I taught him,

he did perfectly, and he was all excited, 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 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 is we're about to start a week long, crazy hackathon with Todd and Ryan, everybody in house.

Um, and this is something we learned from the book remote. If you haven't read the book remote yet, um, or rework actually anything from those guys over at 37 signals, they're awesome. Um, and this is something we learned from the book remote. If you haven't read the book remote yet, um, or rework actually anything from those guys over at 37 signals, they're awesome. But, um, uh, I can't remember. I think it was remote. Yeah. Because when we launched click funnels initially, we were thinking about making it remote Boise and that kind of stuff. And then we decided not to do more remote. So we've got about 20 so people in Boise and then everyone else, 130 people are all remote, um, which is crazy. And so we use a lot of like 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, excuse me, in remote was once a quarter, they bring everybody

in together to get that proximity and 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 ActionX MD, which is going live at Funnel Hacking Live. It's ActionX MD, Russell. Oh, only the greatest thing ever. If you thought ClickFunnels was cool before,

if you thought ActionX was cool before, wait until 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. They come together. Tony Robbins talks about it. Proximity is power. And 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. 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. And so, 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. Want more marketing secrets? If so, then go get your copies of my two best-selling books. Book number one is called Expert Secrets.
