- 3:21Speaker 1: of see here that part and you just keep going
- 3:23Speaker 1: full speed. It's just it's a trained behavior. Over over
- 3:26Speaker 1: a period of time, you just that type of fear
- 3:29Speaker 1: that doesn't bother you anymore. And that's that's a blessing though,
- 3:32Speaker 1: because of the fact that you know, you take that
- 3:35Speaker 1: same fear or lack of fear and to you and
- 3:38Speaker 1: you turned it into your known football playing life. Correct, Yes, yes, yep,
- 3:45Speaker 1: so um. I what happened was is that I'm right
- 3:48Speaker 1: around my seventh year, no sixth year. Um, I'm sitting
- 3:52Speaker 1: in the locker room, and before you know it, like
- 3:55Speaker 1: a lot of my friends are just like leaving, like left,
- 3:58Speaker 1: going right. I've seen dimes in me to have um
- 4:01Speaker 1: get released Ryan Dawkins, a bunch of guys that are
- 4:04Speaker 1: that are being a Hall of Fame one day and
- 4:05Speaker 1: I'm looking around like, man, I don't know any of
- 4:08Speaker 1: these guys. My locker made change in every two days,
- 4:11Speaker 1: because that's the nature of the beast. The average careers
- 4:13Speaker 1: like two and a half years, so um guys are
- 4:16Speaker 1: in and out of the locker room. I said, you
- 4:18Speaker 1: know what football means, Nation Football League, not for loan.
- 4:21Speaker 1: So I got to get get this, get this thing together.
- 4:24Speaker 1: And I went back to University of Michigan, UM took
- 4:27Speaker 1: UM boot camps, UM there about UM franchising and also
- 4:31Speaker 1: startups and UH and and continue my education there. And
- 4:37Speaker 1: before you know it, I began to look into family
- 4:39Speaker 1: entertainment centers. And while I was playing, I didn't wait
- 4:42Speaker 1: till I was done. While I was playing in the
- 4:44Speaker 1: off season, I would just going shadow the general manager,
- 4:46Speaker 1: figure out how to do scheduling, figure out how to
- 4:48Speaker 1: work birthday parties, figure out how to do inventory, different
- 4:51Speaker 1: things like that, just to broaden my understanding of the business.
- 4:54Speaker 1: And before you know it, I begin to like fall
- 4:56Speaker 1: in love with being around the kids, and also that
- 5:00Speaker 1: the idea of bringing entertaining fitness to kids something that
- 5:04Speaker 1: will not only um, you know, help you to make money,
- 5:08Speaker 1: but it's actually a value there because kids are so
- 5:11Speaker 1: inundated with social media, video games and everything else and
- 5:15Speaker 1: they don't get a chance to go outside like we did.
- 5:17Speaker 1: So I could bring activity to them in a fun
- 5:20Speaker 1: manner in a safe place with the Trampline park. And
- 5:23Speaker 1: I thought that was a great business move for me
- 5:26Speaker 1: personally wanting to be around kids, but also UM a
- 5:30Speaker 1: chance to further m myself as a person um with
- 5:34Speaker 1: opening up a business. Now when I hear this description,
- 5:37Speaker 1: am I assuming that it's indoors? Yeah? Yeah, so so
- 5:41Speaker 1: basically yeah, so it's it's an indoor so we do
- 5:44Speaker 1: it's indoor family entertainment, So, um, it's indoor. We have
- 5:48Speaker 1: thirty five tho square foots of of indoor spaces and
- 5:51Speaker 1: a retail shopping center right next to hobby lobby, right
- 5:54Speaker 1: next to olive guard those things. So it's it's basically
- 5:58Speaker 1: David Busters but active. So we do a little bit
- 6:01Speaker 1: of arcades. We do laser tag for people that may
- 6:04Speaker 1: not have the ability to be active. But you have
- 6:06Speaker 1: water wall, trampolines, you can do American Ninja Warrior, you
- 6:10Speaker 1: can do rock climbing, you can do a bunch of
- 6:12Speaker 1: things that will um keep you in shape and kids
- 6:17Speaker 1: um won't even know that they're working out because they're
- 6:19Speaker 1: having so much fun. We do uh dunking on on
- 6:23Speaker 1: basketball goals off trampolines. We do dodgeball like we had
- 6:27Speaker 1: in grade school, but it's but it's on trampoline, so
- 6:29Speaker 1: it's a fun experience for kids. Now here's the great
- 6:32Speaker 1: part about it, because you went through you went to
- 6:34Speaker 1: uh Michigan. Got the number one thing they say about
- 6:39Speaker 1: opening the business parking. You gotta have a parking space
- 6:43Speaker 1: and you gotta put yourself in a position where where
- 6:46Speaker 1: what traffic sees you that you're not paying for. So
- 6:49Speaker 1: when I hear you can talk about that, tell tell
- 6:52Speaker 1: my audience why that's so important. Oh yeah, you want
- 6:56Speaker 1: to be visible. So that's the thing, like and you
- 6:59Speaker 1: want to our Our business is a destination business, so
- 7:02Speaker 1: a lot of people are looking for family um or
- 7:06Speaker 1: kids activities. But you never know how many people are
- 7:10Speaker 1: going past, you know, olive garden on the weekend, Like
- 7:13Speaker 1: we have the number two olive garden in the country.
- 7:15Speaker 1: So we just have a lot of eyes on our business.
- 7:18Speaker 1: There people Oh, I didn't know that was there, um
- 7:21Speaker 1: and and or they're going to Berlins and co fact
- 7:23Speaker 1: and say, oh, what's that place at the end of
- 7:25Speaker 1: the corner. So you want to be seen because that
- 7:27Speaker 1: traffic is just automatic marketing for you. And before you
- 7:31Speaker 1: know that someone pops in your door, they ask for information.
- 7:34Speaker 1: Before you know you have a birthday party, pick um
- 7:36Speaker 1: and In our business, parking is key because it's like
- 7:40Speaker 1: you and and it and it's in most it's in
- 7:42Speaker 1: most um towns. Um you know, uh laws and and
- 7:46Speaker 1: and in their zoning that you have to have a
- 7:48Speaker 1: certain amount of parking spaces per um the size of
- 7:51Speaker 1: your business. So um, you want to have people to
- 7:53Speaker 1: have direct access to your business because you don't want
- 7:56Speaker 1: them to go to a competitor, because it in a
- 7:58Speaker 1: more convenient spot and um, and and and being in
- 8:01Speaker 1: the retail shop center is ideal for us. Our moms
- 8:05Speaker 1: feel safe for dropping their kids off rather than the
- 8:07Speaker 1: industrial park or somewhere else. That's that's not on a
- 8:11Speaker 1: on the beaten I mean that's off the beaten trail.
- 8:15Speaker 1: That's important that I'm talking to. Jason Navant, he played
- 8:18Speaker 1: ten years in the NFL, and about that six year
- 8:21Speaker 1: he realized that he needs to have a plan, an
- 8:24Speaker 1: exit plan for him and and and and doing so,
- 8:27Speaker 1: he re educating himselves, extended his education before pass what
- 8:33Speaker 1: he knew. It wasn't about having money in the bank.
- 8:36Speaker 1: It's about what do I do when I retire? And
- 8:39Speaker 1: then doing so, he's launched. Uh, I'd like to say
- 8:41Speaker 1: that this was very kid friendly physically fun. Yeah, exactly so. Yeah,
- 8:48Speaker 1: and and that's the thing like you like. The thing
- 8:51Speaker 1: about it is money, money has wings and that it'll
- 8:56Speaker 1: fly away fast. Right. So if you're just no matter
- 8:58Speaker 1: how much money you're accum late, if you don't have
- 9:00Speaker 1: a plan on how to make more money and or
- 9:04Speaker 1: preserve the money that you have, it would be going
- 9:07Speaker 1: like that. And I knew that God blessed me with
- 9:10Speaker 1: the gift and ability and a lot of hard work
- 9:13Speaker 1: in order to make it to the National Football League,
- 9:15Speaker 1: but I didn't. I didn't want that to be the
- 9:17Speaker 1: end for me. And and I'm always reaching, I'm always
- 9:21Speaker 1: trying to attain. I'm always trying to get better. And
- 9:24Speaker 1: I thought that one of the things that I can
- 9:25Speaker 1: do in order to get better is to put my
- 9:27Speaker 1: money to good use and first of all, educate myself
- 9:31Speaker 1: working in the parks, go back to school. Um. I
- 9:34Speaker 1: graduated from University of msgan Uh. You know, before I
- 9:38Speaker 1: played in the NFL, but I wanted to work in
- 9:40Speaker 1: the park to see if I liked it, And that
- 9:43Speaker 1: was the biggest thing. I just didn't do something. I
- 9:45Speaker 1: went to see if I liked it first, And when
- 9:47Speaker 1: I found out that I really liked it and loved it,
- 9:49Speaker 1: that's when I started to really pursue it. Hey, Jason, Uh,
- 9:52Speaker 1: thank you. We're gonna be right back with more because
- 9:55Speaker 1: I want to hear about the motivational speaker side, because uh,
- 9:58Speaker 1: that's important because he's articulate. He has a story to
- 10:01Speaker 1: tell and we want to learn more about it and
- 10:03Speaker 1: where we can catch him on Live Jason Navan, he's
- 10:06Speaker 1: flying high because the Eagles are flying high. More moneymaking conversations. Hi,
- 10:14Speaker 1: this with Sean McDonald. I'm talking to Jason Navan Um
- 10:17Speaker 1: University of Michigan grad. Why receiver played ten years ducking
- 10:22Speaker 1: and dodging, but that six year mark, you know, he
- 10:25Speaker 1: decided eight it's some people disappearing and it's locker room
- 10:29Speaker 1: and we're out of plan. And guess what he decided
- 10:34Speaker 1: to formulate his own plan. And I always tell people
- 10:37Speaker 1: this all the time, And Jason, is that make your
- 10:40Speaker 1: own decision and don't allow people make decisions for you
- 10:43Speaker 1: because when you get there, and I tell this to
- 10:46Speaker 1: a lot of people. Anybody who's ever gotten fired or
- 10:48Speaker 1: terminated for a job, they always knew they were gonna
- 10:50Speaker 1: get fired. They were just waiting for you to make
- 10:52Speaker 1: that decision. So and so when I when I when
- 10:55Speaker 1: I listened look to your resume and your bio. It
- 10:58Speaker 1: was just talking about motivation and I see you know
- 11:01Speaker 1: they said you have spoken to the Philadelphia seventy six
- 11:03Speaker 1: is the Philadelphia Eagles, the Kansas City Chiefs. Now you're
- 11:08Speaker 1: talking to people with a lot of money who may
- 11:11Speaker 1: not know what to do with that money, but there's
- 11:14Speaker 1: a lot of arrogance about their level of success at
- 11:17Speaker 1: that point. Yeah, what what what? What's your goals when
- 11:21Speaker 1: you when you walk in the room to try what
- 11:23Speaker 1: what are you trying to motivate them about these high profiles? Well,
- 11:28Speaker 1: the first thing is is that with any audience, when
- 11:31Speaker 1: you're trying to motivate them, is that you're trying to identify.
- 11:33Speaker 1: So you're trying to identify with them and create a
- 11:38Speaker 1: space where they can receive information from you. All Right,
- 11:42Speaker 1: So you have to either bring yourself to them in
- 11:46Speaker 1: some type of way. And the way that I do
- 11:48Speaker 1: that with a lot of the athletes, the athletes, it
- 11:51Speaker 1: is the easiest way to get because I am an athlete,
- 11:54Speaker 1: but a lot of us come from broken homes, A
- 11:57Speaker 1: lot of us come from areas that inner city. And
- 12:01Speaker 1: what I do is I start off with a story
- 12:03Speaker 1: to let them know that I'm coming from majority of
- 12:06Speaker 1: the guys in this room. You know, I'm coming from
- 12:11Speaker 1: the same space as you. I come from the South
- 12:14Speaker 1: Side of Chicago. I grew up with games, I grew
- 12:17Speaker 1: up around drugs, I grew up around a bunch of
- 12:20Speaker 1: different things. And I share this story of how my
- 12:23Speaker 1: grandmother and my coaches, and how people around me got
- 12:27Speaker 1: me out of games, got me out of the streets,
- 12:30Speaker 1: got me out of, you know, a bad mindset, and
- 12:35Speaker 1: automatically that's instant credibility with them, right and and and
- 12:40Speaker 1: it got and and and it gives me a space
- 12:42Speaker 1: to talk about the things that I've I want to
- 12:45Speaker 1: speak about them, but I have to make that connection first.
- 12:48Speaker 1: And I think all too many times, no matter who
- 12:51Speaker 1: you are, even if your story is different, I think
- 12:53Speaker 1: the first key and any motivational speaking is to try
- 12:56Speaker 1: to make a connection with them and some type of
- 12:59Speaker 1: manner so they can receive information from you. It's basically
- 13:03Speaker 1: like breaking up the ground before to see this planet.
- 13:07Speaker 1: And that's how you have to approach any motivation speaking.
- 13:10Speaker 1: Find out the area that you can connect with them
- 13:12Speaker 1: so they can open up themselves so you can so
- 13:15Speaker 1: you can deliver the message that you're trying to disseminate.
- 13:18Speaker 1: That's important because that's that's how I try to do
- 13:21Speaker 1: on my show, is that you know, my my, My
- 13:24Speaker 1: breaking ground with you is let you know that I
- 13:26Speaker 1: can't do what you do, you know, and and and
- 13:30Speaker 1: that's important because it humbles me. And it also gives
- 13:35Speaker 1: you respect because of the fact that that and and
- 13:38Speaker 1: and a lot of things that I and that I
- 13:40Speaker 1: used the word humble because to go back to school
- 13:43Speaker 1: and continue education, A lot of people will see that
- 13:46Speaker 1: as a failure. You saw that as an asset. So
- 13:51Speaker 1: when you made that decision to continue your education, how
- 13:54Speaker 1: did the people around you react? Hey man, you, hey man,
- 13:58Speaker 1: don't you have money? What do you know? You know
- 14:00Speaker 1: a lot of people have a lot. I remember when
- 14:02Speaker 1: I left IBM to pursue a career as a stand
- 14:05Speaker 1: up comedian. Man, there was so many people looking at
- 14:07Speaker 1: me like I was crazy. You will tell Joe, sure, well,
- 14:12Speaker 1: well how are you gonna tell that? And you know, honestly,
- 14:14Speaker 1: I couldn't tell him how I was gonna make money.
- 14:15Speaker 1: I just knew I was gonna make money. So you
- 14:18Speaker 1: are a very confident person, correct, Jason, Yes, yeah, And
- 14:25Speaker 1: you and you have to, and you have to and
- 14:27Speaker 1: you have to be because what I've learned is is
- 14:30Speaker 1: that the person that you have to um, you have
- 14:34Speaker 1: to You can't lie to the person that you're look
- 14:36Speaker 1: in the mirror at night, and you have to do
- 14:37Speaker 1: what your the heart, the heart desire is right, because
- 14:41Speaker 1: it's too hard in this life to try to fake it,
- 14:45Speaker 1: to try to impress people. Whatever is in your heart,
- 14:48Speaker 1: whatever is burning, whatever is that purpose, whatever is that
- 14:51Speaker 1: that desire is in your heart, you have to satisfy
- 14:55Speaker 1: that yearning and that desire. So if that means for
- 14:58Speaker 1: me listen in order for me to feel calm for
- 15:00Speaker 1: them in order for me to feel um, you know, capable,
- 15:04Speaker 1: and to to to feel like I can run this business.
- 15:09Speaker 1: Me getting the education. See a lot of times people
- 15:12Speaker 1: want to throw money at it. Money is not always
- 15:15Speaker 1: the answer. The answer when you have when you have
- 15:18Speaker 1: a few dollars, if you get the education, it's not
- 15:21Speaker 1: necessarily about the degree. It's about the information. And that's
- 15:25Speaker 1: when education is the most important. When it's not about okay,
- 15:28Speaker 1: me getting the job raised, It's about learning the information.
- 15:32Speaker 1: Because if I can learn the information, I can apply
- 15:34Speaker 1: it and using in certain areas that money will try
- 15:37Speaker 1: to chase me down and jump in my pocket. Wow.
- 15:41Speaker 1: Now let's go back to your your your your business,
- 15:47Speaker 1: because because I love the whole thing about being an entrepreneur.
- 15:52Speaker 1: You know, you know, I always tell people working a
- 15:55Speaker 1: normal job always really prepared you for being an entrepreneur.
- 15:59Speaker 1: They teaching to a discipline and being on time. They
- 16:02Speaker 1: they're teaching your rules and teaching you how to work
- 16:04Speaker 1: with other people. And a lot of people don't understand
- 16:07Speaker 1: that you talked about Okay, I didn't know that. So
- 16:10Speaker 1: you shadow people who had businesses. So you you you
- 16:15Speaker 1: you do a lot of bad I want people to
- 16:17Speaker 1: really hear your story because you cashually talk about these things,
- 16:21Speaker 1: but you're doing all the important little things that make
- 16:25Speaker 1: people success. If you don't know, you're gonna hang out
- 16:28Speaker 1: around people who do. Know. If you feel you need
- 16:30Speaker 1: to be educated, you break up. You said inside of
- 16:32Speaker 1: time to be re educated. You don't mind reinventing yourself.
- 16:36Speaker 1: You don't mind letting people think that ignore the fact
- 16:39Speaker 1: that I don't have a flaw. I just want to
- 16:42Speaker 1: get better. And a lot of people use excuses to
- 16:45Speaker 1: educate themselves and reintervent themselves as a sign of failure.
- 16:49Speaker 1: You just say, hey, man, I gotta do what I
- 16:51Speaker 1: gotta do to get to my dreams. And my dreams
- 16:53Speaker 1: are tied to me, uh, shadowing people who know more
- 16:56Speaker 1: than me, by educating myself more, by a long people,
- 17:01Speaker 1: being in business with people who assist me and allowed
- 17:04Speaker 1: me to be successful. All those points are very important.
- 17:08Speaker 1: Plus you even more smarter as you you you tell
- 17:12Speaker 1: us even more because you stay on the air in
- 17:15Speaker 1: the Philadelphia. Yeah, and and I and I appreciate and
- 17:20Speaker 1: I appreciate that. And the thing and the thing about
- 17:23Speaker 1: it is is that and that comes from God. I
- 17:25Speaker 1: can't do anything about that. That's me and my relationship
- 17:27Speaker 1: with God. Were trying to be humble and trying my
- 17:30Speaker 1: best to be because the thing about it is, no
- 17:32Speaker 1: matter what field you are, you're in, if you're switching
- 17:35Speaker 1: fields or you're trying to reinvent yourself, the biggest, the
- 17:39Speaker 1: biggest mistake you can make is I know right, I
- 17:43Speaker 1: know it already. And this is this generation at times
- 17:45Speaker 1: is that I know everything before like I don't know anything.
- 17:49Speaker 1: I didn't know anything about family entertainment. I thought I
- 17:51Speaker 1: knew I thought I can recognize the business and and
- 17:54Speaker 1: and oh, it can be successful here. But I didn't
- 17:56Speaker 1: know the nuances of it. I didn't know pay Road,
- 17:59Speaker 1: I didn't know eduling, I didn't know um Ocean standards
- 18:03Speaker 1: for employees. I didn't know any of this information. And
- 18:06Speaker 1: that's the that was the place that I found out
- 18:10Speaker 1: that it would be more successful if I would if
- 18:12Speaker 1: I would acknowledge the fact that I didn't know. So
- 18:16Speaker 1: when I came in to a person that had a business,
- 18:19Speaker 1: I came in with that approach, Hey, you know what
- 18:21Speaker 1: my name is? Jason? Or what have you? And uh?
- 18:26Speaker 1: And and you don't you don't know who I am
- 18:29Speaker 1: maybe or maybe you know me from the Eagles, But
- 18:31Speaker 1: can you give me an opportunity to shout at you
- 18:33Speaker 1: and learn what you know? And that approach got me
- 18:36Speaker 1: in more doors than me coming in with the brazen
- 18:39Speaker 1: attitude of arrogance. I love that. I know we had
- 18:43Speaker 1: a few minutes left, but I got to go back
- 18:45Speaker 1: to the these these kid birthday parties, these large amounts
- 18:49Speaker 1: of kids, How do you hand how does your business
- 18:52Speaker 1: handle that? And when it when it's thirty forty kids
- 18:55Speaker 1: they're coming in, how did it? Because you know it
- 18:57Speaker 1: has to be a degree of security to make sure
- 18:59Speaker 1: that it doesn't get walk out the front door with
- 19:01Speaker 1: some crazy person and make sure that the kids stays
- 19:04Speaker 1: in the How does that whole set up work for
- 19:06Speaker 1: you at your facility? Well, yeah, so we have so
- 19:09Speaker 1: so thirty or forty We were like, yeah, so we
- 19:12Speaker 1: we have we have up to so in on our
- 19:15Speaker 1: p LS system, it's a jump tracker. So on our
- 19:18Speaker 1: jump tracker, we can have up to two hundred jumpers
- 19:20Speaker 1: and out. Okay, and on that jump tracker, every time
- 19:23Speaker 1: someone purchases a ticket, it gets subtractive from that jump tracker.
- 19:27Speaker 1: So we're able to limit how many people are in
- 19:30Speaker 1: the building. And we understand because we give them wristbands
- 19:33Speaker 1: and we give their parents wristbands. They are coinciding with
- 19:36Speaker 1: their kids to recognize, okay, which kid is with who? Um.
- 19:40Speaker 1: So that's how that process goes. And also we have
- 19:43Speaker 1: people at our front door. We have a bunch of
- 19:46Speaker 1: different measures to try to keep the kids safe. Um.
- 19:49Speaker 1: But and also to keep them safe on the trampolines,
- 19:52Speaker 1: because if a kid isn't doing the right things at
- 19:55Speaker 1: the wrong time, you can get hurt. Because there's so
- 19:57Speaker 1: many people in your business and you in your in
- 19:59Speaker 1: your build. So we're trying to shovel them through, UM
- 20:03Speaker 1: but within reasons. So we have different courts UM set
- 20:06Speaker 1: up in different court monitors there to watch it and UM.
- 20:10Speaker 1: But it's all set up in our POS system. It's
- 20:12Speaker 1: really not that hard to recognize who's in there, who's
- 20:15Speaker 1: in the building, and we also have security. We also
- 20:18Speaker 1: have on our staff there as well. Oh man, let
- 20:21Speaker 1: everybody know how they can reach your place. Find it
