Mark Haney: Today we are joined by Cam Iwasa.
3
0:00:05,694 --> 0:00:07,758
Mark Haney: He is a professional athlete, actually a

0:00:07,839 --> 0:00:10,225
Mark Haney: retired professional soccer player.
5
0:00:10,726 --> 0:00:12,471
Mark Haney: So today we're going to be talking about
6
0:00:12,992 --> 0:00:17,183
Mark Haney: his career, the principles that he learned
7
0:00:17,884 --> 0:00:21,233
Mark Haney: in building that successful career, and
8
0:00:21,654 --> 0:00:23,839
Mark Haney: because it's not easy to achieve the
9
0:00:23,939 --> 0:00:26,952
Mark Haney: highest level in sports, let alone business.
10
0:00:26,973 --> 0:00:28,178
Mark Haney: So today is going to be an interesting show
11
0:00:28,198 --> 0:00:29,363
Mark Haney: because we'll talk a little bit about
12
0:00:29,423 --> 0:00:31,430
Mark Haney: business, because Cam's also a commercial
13
0:00:31,490 --> 0:00:34,480
Mark Haney: real estate professional and a professional
14
0:00:34,600 --> 0:00:35,362
Mark Haney: broadcaster.
15
0:00:35,422 --> 0:00:37,788
Mark Haney: So we'll get into a little bit of all of
16
0:00:37,848 --> 0:00:38,128

Mark Haney: audience here and really people who get it,

0:00:51,488 --> 0:00:52,531
Mark Haney: who understand the power of

0:00:52,591 --> 0:00:55,260
Mark Haney: entrepreneurship and want to be around,

0:00:55,380 --> 0:00:58,392

Mark Haney: Welcome to show, cam, appreciate you being

0:00:59,958 --> 0:01:00,059
Mark Haney: here.
26
0:01:00,079 --> 0:01:00,941
Mark Haney: Yeah, thanks for having me.
27
0:01:00,961 --> 0:01:02,565
Cam Iwasa: I'm excited to be here 100%.
28
0:01:02,605 --> 0:01:05,872
Mark Haney: So now you, you grew up in the Sacramento
29
0:01:05,932 --> 0:01:09,409
Mark Haney: region and then you became a member of the
30
0:01:09,469 --> 0:01:10,452
Mark Haney: Sac Republic.
31
0:01:10,833 --> 0:01:12,337
Mark Haney: Was that like a dream come true?
32
0:01:12,357 --> 0:01:14,465
Cam Iwasa: Yeah, I grew up like right near Sac State,
33
0:01:14,526 --> 0:01:16,314
Cam Iwasa: probably five minutes from Sac State.
34
0:01:16,394 --> 0:01:18,161
Cam Iwasa: It's hard to say it was a dream come true
35
0:01:18,202 --> 0:01:19,465
Cam Iwasa: because the team didn't exist when I was
36
0:01:19,505 --> 0:01:19,806
Cam Iwasa: growing up.
37
0:01:20,006 --> 0:01:22,842
Mark Haney: Oh, okay, yeah, the first year was 2014.
38
0:01:23,404 --> 0:01:25,289
Cam Iwasa: So I was already in college when the team
39
0:01:25,349 --> 0:01:27,175
Cam Iwasa: actually, you know, came to town.
40
0:01:27,556 --> 0:01:30,063
Cam Iwasa: I was in Southern California at the time,
41
0:01:30,123 --> 0:01:32,549
Cam Iwasa: going to school, so I had no idea, kind of
42
0:01:32,569 --> 0:01:33,331
Cam Iwasa: what it was going about.
43
0:01:33,451 --> 0:01:34,605
Cam Iwasa: You know what was going on.
44
0:01:34,625 --> 0:01:36,195
Cam Iwasa: I had a lot of friends and family that were
45
0:01:36,215 --> 0:01:37,462
Cam Iwasa: still in the area that talked about like
46
0:01:37,482 --> 0:01:39,691
Cam Iwasa: hey, this is professional soccer teams here
47
0:01:40,053 --> 0:01:41,760
Cam Iwasa: and the games are awesome, it's electric
48
0:01:41,780 --> 0:01:43,910
Cam Iwasa: and this and that, and so, you know, then
49
0:01:43,930 --> 0:01:44,975
Cam Iwasa: it was like, oh, that's really cool.
50
0:01:44,995 --> 0:01:46,763
Cam Iwasa: I'd love to just get to a game and check it
51
0:01:46,824 --> 0:01:47,466
Cam Iwasa: out at some point.
52
0:01:47,507 --> 0:01:49,234
Cam Iwasa: Little did I know I'd end up spending six
53
0:01:49,275 --> 0:01:49,777
Cam Iwasa: years there.
54
0:01:50,199 --> 0:01:52,709
Mark Haney: So like when you went to Jesuit and I know
55
0:01:52,749 --> 0:01:54,657
Mark Haney: you guys had a great soccer team we talked
56
0:01:54,697 --> 0:01:58,249
Mark Haney: about our mutual friend Conti and but you
57
0:01:58,290 --> 0:01:59,152
Mark Haney: guys won a lot.
58
0:01:59,213 --> 0:02:01,079
Mark Haney: But what was the dream then If there wasn't
59
0:02:01,119 --> 0:02:02,524
Mark Haney: professional soccer in Sacramento?
60
0:02:02,685 --> 0:02:04,391
Mark Haney: What was that thing?
61
0:02:04,612 --> 0:02:05,776
Mark Haney: Was that go playing college?
62
0:02:06,138 --> 0:02:07,703
Cam Iwasa: Yeah, to be honest, like playing
63
0:02:07,823 --> 0:02:09,989
Cam Iwasa: professionally wasn't even on my radar when
64
0:02:10,009 --> 0:02:10,530
Cam Iwasa: I was in high school.
65
0:02:10,571 --> 0:02:11,824
Cam Iwasa: It was just, you know, try to get a
66
0:02:11,864 --> 0:02:14,174
Cam Iwasa: scholarship and go play at a good school
67
0:02:14,335 --> 0:02:17,406
Cam Iwasa: and, you know, have some fun, enjoy my time.
68
0:02:17,467 --> 0:02:19,955
Cam Iwasa: And you know, lo and behold, I ended up
69
0:02:19,975 --> 0:02:21,360
Cam Iwasa: having a pretty successful college career.
70
0:02:21,480 --> 0:02:23,087
Cam Iwasa: Fortunately, I went to a team that was
71
0:02:23,208 --> 0:02:24,513
Cam Iwasa: really really good, uc Irvine.
72
0:02:24,533 --> 0:02:26,923
Cam Iwasa: We were, you know, three out of my four
73
0:02:26,963 --> 0:02:28,851
Cam Iwasa: years we finished ranked in the top 25 in
74
0:02:28,871 --> 0:02:31,301
Cam Iwasa: the nation, so it was a team that got some
75
0:02:31,361 --> 0:02:31,783
Cam Iwasa: eyeballs.
76
0:02:31,823 --> 0:02:34,193
Cam Iwasa: And so I had some teammates that were older
77
0:02:34,233 --> 0:02:36,080
Cam Iwasa: than me that continued to play after
78
0:02:36,221 --> 0:02:37,510
Cam Iwasa: college and I was kind of looking around.
79
0:02:37,530 --> 0:02:38,778
Cam Iwasa: I was like, well, hey, if those guys can do
80
0:02:38,839 --> 0:02:39,763
Cam Iwasa: it, I think I can do it.
81
0:02:39,883 --> 0:02:42,291
Cam Iwasa: And after my senior year, my coach
82
0:02:42,331 --> 0:02:44,720
Cam Iwasa: introduced me to an agent and that was the
83
0:02:44,740 --> 0:02:46,385
Cam Iwasa: guy that ended up representing me my entire
84
0:02:46,425 --> 0:02:48,130
Cam Iwasa: career, and that was kind of the start of
85
0:02:48,150 --> 0:02:48,451
Cam Iwasa: the story.
86
0:02:48,600 --> 0:02:49,102
Mark Haney: That's great.
87
0:02:49,142 --> 0:02:51,228
Mark Haney: What do you think about now that you know
88
0:02:51,268 --> 0:02:54,122
Mark Haney: people in college can now get paid, instead
89
0:02:54,203 --> 0:02:56,392
Mark Haney: of you know that, being the amateur they,
90
0:02:56,492 --> 0:02:58,400
Mark Haney: you know the their likeness and all that
91
0:02:58,560 --> 0:03:00,205
Mark Haney: they can get paid for their following on
92
0:03:00,265 --> 0:03:01,308
Mark Haney: social media and so on?
93
0:03:01,749 --> 0:03:02,631
Cam Iwasa: I think it makes sense.
94
0:03:02,731 --> 0:03:04,307
Cam Iwasa: I mean, especially when you're looking at
95
0:03:04,347 --> 0:03:05,956
Cam Iwasa: it from like a college football standpoint.
96
0:03:06,077 --> 0:03:08,306
Cam Iwasa: I mean those guys generate so much revenue
97
0:03:08,366 --> 0:03:11,216
Cam Iwasa: for the schools that it always seemed
98
0:03:11,296 --> 0:03:12,861
Cam Iwasa: unfair to me that you had like a Johnny
99
0:03:12,881 --> 0:03:13,643
Cam Iwasa: Manziel guy.
100
0:03:13,703 --> 0:03:14,725
Cam Iwasa: That was, I heard.
101
0:03:14,986 --> 0:03:15,908
Cam Iwasa: I heard something one time.
102
0:03:15,928 --> 0:03:18,241
Cam Iwasa: They had like a you know banquet or
103
0:03:18,261 --> 0:03:20,567
Cam Iwasa: whatever and it was like $10,000 a seat to
104
0:03:20,607 --> 0:03:22,782
Cam Iwasa: sit at the same table as Johnny Manziel but
105
0:03:22,822 --> 0:03:23,769
Cam Iwasa: he wasn't allowed to make it.
106
0:03:23,850 --> 0:03:24,635
Mark Haney: He gets none of it.
107
0:03:24,676 --> 0:03:25,943
Mark Haney: Yeah, and it's like you got guys like
108
0:03:25,983 --> 0:03:27,913
Mark Haney: Reggie Bush now that you know he was
109
0:03:28,154 --> 0:03:30,102
Mark Haney: penalized, they didn't, they take away his
110
0:03:30,122 --> 0:03:33,210
Mark Haney: Heisman and now you get everybody gets paid
111
0:03:33,250 --> 0:03:33,551
Mark Haney: for it.
112
0:03:33,771 --> 0:03:35,945
Mark Haney: It's like fairness, it's.
113
0:03:36,407 --> 0:03:37,994
Mark Haney: It's finally upon us at some level.
114
0:03:38,215 --> 0:03:39,481
Cam Iwasa: Yeah, and if you look at things from like a
115
0:03:39,541 --> 0:03:41,546
Cam Iwasa: business standpoint, which obviously I know
116
0:03:41,606 --> 0:03:43,451
Cam Iwasa: is that's, that's your brand, right, like
117
0:03:43,760 --> 0:03:46,006
Cam Iwasa: you're building a brand, your own business
118
0:03:46,080 --> 0:03:47,532
Cam Iwasa: these guys have built their brand.
119
0:03:47,606 --> 0:03:48,916
Cam Iwasa: They're building their business Even though
120
0:03:48,979 --> 0:03:49,726
Cam Iwasa: they're in college.
121
0:03:49,789 --> 0:03:51,320
Cam Iwasa: I mean, the amount of eyeballs these guys
122
0:03:51,422 --> 0:03:53,987
Cam Iwasa: get is off the charts, and so I think you
123
0:03:54,089 --> 0:03:56,088
Cam Iwasa: got to strike when the iron's hot sometimes,
124
0:03:56,088 --> 0:03:57,790
Cam Iwasa: because you look at some guys like a Johnny
125
0:03:57,830 --> 0:03:59,613
Cam Iwasa: Manziel who flamed out professionally.
126
0:04:00,735 --> 0:04:02,485
Cam Iwasa: You know, I know there's.
127
0:04:02,666 --> 0:04:04,074
Cam Iwasa: You know he did make some money when he was
128
0:04:04,114 --> 0:04:04,476
Cam Iwasa: in college.
129
0:04:04,496 --> 0:04:06,385
Cam Iwasa: That documentary just came out, yeah, kind
130
0:04:06,425 --> 0:04:08,093
Cam Iwasa: of details, all of it, but he could have
131
0:04:08,133 --> 0:04:09,980
Cam Iwasa: made a whole lot more if it was legal for
132
0:04:10,001 --> 0:04:11,284
Cam Iwasa: him to do so at the time.
133
0:04:11,364 --> 0:04:14,090
Cam Iwasa: So I think that's a missed opportunity and,
134
0:04:14,351 --> 0:04:16,705
Cam Iwasa: you know, to me unfair in the long run.
135
0:04:16,806 --> 0:04:18,773
Cam Iwasa: But you know it's.
136
0:04:18,853 --> 0:04:20,459
Cam Iwasa: It's cool to see that guys nowadays are
137
0:04:20,479 --> 0:04:21,521
Cam Iwasa: allowed to take full advantage.
138
0:04:21,922 --> 0:04:23,947
Mark Haney: So you to me seems like you kind of got
139
0:04:24,007 --> 0:04:26,961
Mark Haney: this, you know, from an outsider like a
140
0:04:27,021 --> 0:04:27,603
Mark Haney: dream life.
141
0:04:27,663 --> 0:04:29,748
Mark Haney: You have this young family that you just
142
0:04:29,768 --> 0:04:29,969
Mark Haney: had.
143
0:04:29,989 --> 0:04:31,482
Cam Iwasa: You guys just had a baby right, yeah, had
144
0:04:31,523 --> 0:04:32,929
Cam Iwasa: our first, our first daughter.
145
0:04:33,030 --> 0:04:34,958
Cam Iwasa: Well, first kid in general, but our
146
0:04:34,999 --> 0:04:37,086
Cam Iwasa: daughter was born just over seven weeks ago.
147
0:04:37,327 --> 0:04:38,712
Mark Haney: Yeah, so that's exciting.
148
0:04:38,953 --> 0:04:40,859
Mark Haney: And you're a broadcaster, so you are
149
0:04:41,160 --> 0:04:43,745
Mark Haney: retired professional athlete in your
150
0:04:43,846 --> 0:04:45,890
Mark Haney: hometown for the soccer republic, our
151
0:04:45,930 --> 0:04:47,613
Mark Haney: beloved soccer team.
152
0:04:48,160 --> 0:04:50,845
Mark Haney: Now you're doing the announcing and the
153
0:04:50,885 --> 0:04:52,789
Mark Haney: broadcasting on Fox 40.
154
0:04:52,869 --> 0:04:56,562
Mark Haney: And but you also have this is it a side gig?
155
0:04:56,583 --> 0:04:58,327
Mark Haney: Is your real estate server side gig?
156
0:04:58,347 --> 0:04:59,871
Mark Haney: How do you prioritize all?
157
0:04:59,911 --> 0:05:00,092
Cam Iwasa: that.
158
0:05:00,321 --> 0:05:01,807
Cam Iwasa: Well, I'd say the broadcasting is a side
159
0:05:01,827 --> 0:05:02,048
Cam Iwasa: gig.
160
0:05:02,188 --> 0:05:04,317
Cam Iwasa: I'm technically, I'm like the big
161
0:05:04,458 --> 0:05:04,960
Cam Iwasa: broadcaster.
162
0:05:04,980 --> 0:05:07,486
Cam Iwasa: You know there's a Rob McAllister, the
163
0:05:07,506 --> 0:05:09,671
Cam Iwasa: play-by-play guy, and Adam Moffitt, an ex
164
0:05:09,711 --> 0:05:11,985
Cam Iwasa: teammate of mine, is the main color guy,
165
0:05:12,086 --> 0:05:14,415
Cam Iwasa: and so whenever Adam can't make it, or
166
0:05:14,495 --> 0:05:16,181
Cam Iwasa: sometimes we'll do a three-man booth, I'll
167
0:05:16,222 --> 0:05:16,503
Cam Iwasa: come in.
168
0:05:16,523 --> 0:05:17,306
Cam Iwasa: So I've probably done.
169
0:05:17,327 --> 0:05:19,335
Cam Iwasa: I think I did five or six broadcasts this
170
0:05:19,376 --> 0:05:20,802
Cam Iwasa: year out of the 34 games.
171
0:05:20,903 --> 0:05:22,933
Cam Iwasa: So you know, it's certainly not a full-time
172
0:05:22,973 --> 0:05:24,058
Cam Iwasa: gig but it's something that's really,
173
0:05:24,098 --> 0:05:25,888
Cam Iwasa: really fun for me and you know, the more
174
0:05:25,909 --> 0:05:27,377
Cam Iwasa: and more I do it, the more comfortable I'm
175
0:05:27,397 --> 0:05:28,662
Cam Iwasa: getting and I feel like I'm getting just
176
0:05:29,083 --> 0:05:30,405
Cam Iwasa: better at that job.
177
0:05:30,967 --> 0:05:32,089
Cam Iwasa: But it definitely is.
178
0:05:32,410 --> 0:05:33,993
Cam Iwasa: I would definitely say that's the side gig.
179
0:05:34,120 --> 0:05:35,904
Mark Haney: Well, okay, let's talk about your side gig
180
0:05:35,945 --> 0:05:36,506
Mark Haney: for a second.
181
0:05:36,546 --> 0:05:39,580
Mark Haney: Here You're, there's the play-by-play, and
182
0:05:39,621 --> 0:05:42,126
Mark Haney: then there's the color commentating, Do
183
0:05:42,166 --> 0:05:42,286
Mark Haney: they?
184
0:05:42,347 --> 0:05:44,010
Mark Haney: Typically they want somebody with
185
0:05:44,091 --> 0:05:47,428
Mark Haney: experience playing to do the color, I would
186
0:05:47,448 --> 0:05:47,789
Mark Haney: assume.
187
0:05:48,251 --> 0:05:50,239
Mark Haney: But the play-by-play that can get done by
188
0:05:50,299 --> 0:05:51,625
Mark Haney: any schmuck, Even a guy like me could
189
0:05:51,645 --> 0:05:52,369
Mark Haney: probably do it right.
190
0:05:52,711 --> 0:05:54,339
Cam Iwasa: Yeah, but if you ask me, that's the part
191
0:05:54,359 --> 0:05:55,283
Cam Iwasa: that's much, much harder.
192
0:05:55,323 --> 0:05:56,287
Cam Iwasa: It's cheap, like it.
193
0:05:56,348 --> 0:05:58,516
Cam Iwasa: So you need the reps way more to do
194
0:05:58,556 --> 0:05:59,881
Cam Iwasa: play-by-play than you do color.
195
0:05:59,921 --> 0:06:02,267
Cam Iwasa: I think for me, especially when I did my
196
0:06:02,327 --> 0:06:04,111
Cam Iwasa: first broadcast, which was the year after I
197
0:06:04,171 --> 0:06:06,708
Cam Iwasa: retired, it was I don't want to say easy,
198
0:06:06,748 --> 0:06:08,697
Cam Iwasa: but it was easier for me because I already
199
0:06:08,757 --> 0:06:09,721
Cam Iwasa: knew who all the guys were.
200
0:06:09,742 --> 0:06:11,109
Cam Iwasa: It was the same guys I had played against
201
0:06:11,129 --> 0:06:12,275
Cam Iwasa: the year before outside of.
202
0:06:12,335 --> 0:06:14,084
Cam Iwasa: Maybe you know one or two people here and
203
0:06:14,104 --> 0:06:16,695
Cam Iwasa: there the guys on the team for the Republic
204
0:06:16,735 --> 0:06:18,222
Cam Iwasa: or a bunch of ex teammates of mine so I
205
0:06:18,282 --> 0:06:20,392
Cam Iwasa: know them in and out and so talking about
206
0:06:20,452 --> 0:06:22,039
Cam Iwasa: them as players, talking about the system
207
0:06:22,060 --> 0:06:23,628
Cam Iwasa: that the coach wants to run, things like
208
0:06:23,668 --> 0:06:25,517
Cam Iwasa: that, it's all very fresh in my mind so I
209
0:06:25,558 --> 0:06:27,365
Cam Iwasa: didn't even have to really do much homework
210
0:06:27,405 --> 0:06:28,028
Cam Iwasa: to be prepared.
211
0:06:28,068 --> 0:06:30,036
Cam Iwasa: You know, this year being, you know,
212
0:06:30,116 --> 0:06:31,100
Cam Iwasa: another year out of it.
213
0:06:31,261 --> 0:06:32,626
Cam Iwasa: There's more guys that I don't know.
214
0:06:32,686 --> 0:06:34,875
Mark Haney: There's more coaches are changing.
215
0:06:35,136 --> 0:06:36,583
Cam Iwasa: Coaches are changing, so the systems are
216
0:06:36,603 --> 0:06:37,649
Cam Iwasa: changing and things like that.
217
0:06:37,709 --> 0:06:39,297
Cam Iwasa: So it's a little bit more of.
218
0:06:39,398 --> 0:06:40,443
Cam Iwasa: You know, I had to do a little bit more
219
0:06:40,483 --> 0:06:42,171
Cam Iwasa: homework for for the games this year and,
220
0:06:42,192 --> 0:06:44,101
Cam Iwasa: you know, as it continues, the further and
221
0:06:44,121 --> 0:06:45,890
Cam Iwasa: further I get away from having played, I
222
0:06:45,951 --> 0:06:47,458
Cam Iwasa: think it'll just continue to be a little
223
0:06:47,499 --> 0:06:48,843
Cam Iwasa: bit more extra work, Is there?
224
0:06:48,923 --> 0:06:51,430
Mark Haney: somebody that acts as a mentor for this
225
0:06:51,711 --> 0:06:54,940
Mark Haney: part of your life that broadcasting.
226
0:06:55,060 --> 0:06:57,629
Cam Iwasa: Well, adam, who I mentioned is the main guy,
227
0:06:57,689 --> 0:06:59,937
Cam Iwasa: has been really cool because so he retired
228
0:07:00,238 --> 0:07:02,504
Cam Iwasa: at the end of 2018.
229
0:07:03,386 --> 0:07:07,436
Cam Iwasa: And then, starting in 2020, became the full
230
0:07:07,456 --> 0:07:08,598
Cam Iwasa: time broadcaster for the team.
231
0:07:08,638 --> 0:07:10,927
Cam Iwasa: So he had been getting plenty of reps and
232
0:07:11,188 --> 0:07:12,876
Cam Iwasa: he was a guy that I kind of leaned on for a
233
0:07:12,896 --> 0:07:14,061
Cam Iwasa: little bit of advice here and there.
234
0:07:14,122 --> 0:07:16,131
Cam Iwasa: And you know just the people that are in it,
235
0:07:16,191 --> 0:07:17,658
Cam Iwasa: all the time they were giving me
236
0:07:17,698 --> 0:07:18,702
Cam Iwasa: constructive feedback.
237
0:07:19,585 --> 0:07:21,290
Cam Iwasa: You know, hey, you say this too much,
238
0:07:21,692 --> 0:07:22,956
Cam Iwasa: you're saying um too much.
239
0:07:23,879 --> 0:07:25,483
Cam Iwasa: You know various things that are kind of
240
0:07:25,523 --> 0:07:27,248
Cam Iwasa: subconscious, but if you start paying
241
0:07:27,268 --> 0:07:28,632
Cam Iwasa: attention to them, they make a difference
242
0:07:28,880 --> 0:07:30,626
Cam Iwasa: in the quality of the broadcast for people
243
0:07:30,666 --> 0:07:30,967
Cam Iwasa: listening.
244
0:07:31,188 --> 0:07:31,629
Mark Haney: They do.
245
0:07:31,689 --> 0:07:33,822
Mark Haney: When I first started my show, which was a
246
0:07:33,903 --> 0:07:35,488
Mark Haney: while ago I think it was seven or eight
247
0:07:35,569 --> 0:07:38,880
Mark Haney: years ago we started off on Sports 1140.
248
0:07:39,301 --> 0:07:42,190
Mark Haney: And I was nervous to be on the show, you
249
0:07:42,210 --> 0:07:43,674
Mark Haney: know, doing a radio live.
250
0:07:43,734 --> 0:07:45,278
Mark Haney: It was live radio.
251
0:07:45,559 --> 0:07:47,225
Mark Haney: We had to cut the commercial break and all
252
0:07:47,265 --> 0:07:49,473
Mark Haney: this sort of stuff, so it was.
253
0:07:50,316 --> 0:07:52,083
Mark Haney: It was kind of like a lot to digest in
254
0:07:52,123 --> 0:07:53,047
Mark Haney: terms of complication.
255
0:07:53,087 --> 0:07:54,895
Mark Haney: It wasn't just coming in talking about
256
0:07:54,955 --> 0:07:57,204
Mark Haney: small business or coming in and asking
257
0:07:57,244 --> 0:07:58,107
Mark Haney: somebody questions.
258
0:07:58,147 --> 0:08:01,197
Mark Haney: There was a lot more gyration than what I
259
0:08:01,257 --> 0:08:02,000
Mark Haney: was comfortable with.
260
0:08:02,221 --> 0:08:03,165
Mark Haney: But I had a mentor.
261
0:08:03,205 --> 0:08:05,414
Mark Haney: The reason I asked is Scott Marsh.
262
0:08:05,495 --> 0:08:06,700
Mark Haney: I don't know if you know that guy or not.
263
0:08:06,921 --> 0:08:07,823
Mark Haney: He does play by play.
264
0:08:07,843 --> 0:08:09,147
Mark Haney: I think he does stuff with the Republic,
265
0:08:09,207 --> 0:08:09,889
Mark Haney: you see Davis.
266
0:08:10,250 --> 0:08:14,708
Mark Haney: But he's a professional broadcaster for
267
0:08:14,748 --> 0:08:16,953
Mark Haney: Sports 1140 or Sacktown Sports now.
268
0:08:17,615 --> 0:08:20,822
Mark Haney: But I was mentored for a business show by
269
0:08:20,883 --> 0:08:23,168
Mark Haney: somebody who did like play by play,
270
0:08:23,188 --> 0:08:25,293
Mark Haney: announcing and kind of color commentary.
271
0:08:25,313 --> 0:08:28,532
Mark Haney: So I feel like I have been exposed at some
272
0:08:28,592 --> 0:08:30,319
Mark Haney: level to almost being a broadcaster because
273
0:08:30,339 --> 0:08:31,825
Mark Haney: I've been hanging around Scott Marsh so
274
0:08:31,865 --> 0:08:32,066
Mark Haney: long.
275
0:08:32,588 --> 0:08:33,893
Cam Iwasa: Yeah, and it's very similar.
276
0:08:34,034 --> 0:08:35,921
Cam Iwasa: I think you know, the radio show, in my
277
0:08:35,961 --> 0:08:37,929
Cam Iwasa: opinion, would be even more difficult
278
0:08:38,009 --> 0:08:39,857
Cam Iwasa: because with the play by play, or
279
0:08:40,037 --> 0:08:42,123
Cam Iwasa: especially for color commentary, I'm just
280
0:08:42,724 --> 0:08:44,909
Cam Iwasa: seeing what I see and then talking about it,
281
0:08:45,009 --> 0:08:45,250
Cam Iwasa: right.
282
0:08:45,310 --> 0:08:48,307
Cam Iwasa: So it's, the content is easy, it's created
283
0:08:48,347 --> 0:08:49,733
Cam Iwasa: right in front of me all the time, whereas
284
0:08:49,753 --> 0:08:51,521
Cam Iwasa: for a radio show you have to come in
285
0:08:51,582 --> 0:08:52,808
Cam Iwasa: prepared with all of your notes.
286
0:08:52,829 --> 0:08:54,055
Cam Iwasa: This is what I want to go through today,
287
0:08:54,277 --> 0:08:55,804
Cam Iwasa: and especially if you're on it by yourself,
288
0:08:55,864 --> 0:08:58,254
Cam Iwasa: I mean I don't want to listen to myself
289
0:08:58,294 --> 0:08:59,439
Cam Iwasa: talk that much, so I wouldn't.
290
0:08:59,459 --> 0:09:00,644
Cam Iwasa: I wouldn't want to be solo.
291
0:09:00,825 --> 0:09:02,030
Mark Haney: I used to listen to my show.
292
0:09:02,071 --> 0:09:03,999
Mark Haney: I don't listen to my show anymore, but I
293
0:09:04,019 --> 0:09:05,724
Mark Haney: used to listen to my show back and just
294
0:09:05,864 --> 0:09:07,990
Mark Haney: pick out all the ums and all the stupid
295
0:09:08,050 --> 0:09:08,351
Mark Haney: crap.
296
0:09:08,411 --> 0:09:10,583
Mark Haney: I would say, and I don't know that I got a
297
0:09:10,623 --> 0:09:12,709
Mark Haney: lot better, but I felt like I.
298
0:09:13,752 --> 0:09:16,460
Mark Haney: I felt like I found real bad weaknesses
299
0:09:16,681 --> 0:09:18,169
Mark Haney: that I you know that I've been working on
300
0:09:18,189 --> 0:09:19,074
Mark Haney: for the last several years.
301
0:09:19,194 --> 0:09:20,744
Cam Iwasa: Yeah, you know, I love my family, but
302
0:09:20,847 --> 0:09:22,770
Cam Iwasa: they're my biggest fans and my biggest
303
0:09:22,873 --> 0:09:23,214
Cam Iwasa: critics.
304
0:09:23,317 --> 0:09:25,234
Cam Iwasa: So who's the biggest critic?
305
0:09:25,337 --> 0:09:25,999
Cam Iwasa: Definitely my dad.
306
0:09:26,159 --> 0:09:26,821
Cam Iwasa: It's not even close.
307
0:09:27,302 --> 0:09:29,167
Cam Iwasa: But really where it started was when I was
308
0:09:29,187 --> 0:09:29,869
Cam Iwasa: still playing.
309
0:09:30,270 --> 0:09:32,364
Cam Iwasa: I would do interviews or things like this
310
0:09:32,424 --> 0:09:34,990
Cam Iwasa: every once in a while and I just I feel
311
0:09:35,010 --> 0:09:37,463
Cam Iwasa: like I'm a pretty, you know, intelligent
312
0:09:37,523 --> 0:09:40,289
Cam Iwasa: guy, but in that in those scenarios I was
313
0:09:40,409 --> 0:09:43,323
Cam Iwasa: so like uncomfortable at first that I
314
0:09:43,403 --> 0:09:45,089
Cam Iwasa: didn't sound very intelligent when I would
315
0:09:45,129 --> 0:09:47,819
Cam Iwasa: talk, because it was again all the ums and
316
0:09:47,839 --> 0:09:50,148
Cam Iwasa: I used to say, you know, over and over and
317
0:09:50,228 --> 0:09:51,694
Cam Iwasa: over, and that was a big thing.
318
0:09:51,754 --> 0:09:53,903
Cam Iwasa: So when I was doing post game interviews or
319
0:09:53,943 --> 0:09:55,851
Cam Iwasa: something like this with any sort of media,
320
0:09:56,273 --> 0:09:58,020
Cam Iwasa: my dad would always listen back to it and
321
0:09:58,041 --> 0:09:59,625
Cam Iwasa: he'd be like, hey, you're doing this, this
322
0:09:59,665 --> 0:10:01,610
Cam Iwasa: and this and it was like, okay, you know,
323
0:10:01,671 --> 0:10:02,032
Cam Iwasa: thanks.
324
0:10:02,321 --> 0:10:05,111
Cam Iwasa: But the more and more that I kept those
325
0:10:05,172 --> 0:10:06,938
Cam Iwasa: things kind of in the front of my mind and
326
0:10:06,958 --> 0:10:08,523
Cam Iwasa: was consciously thinking about it, my
327
0:10:08,603 --> 0:10:10,107
Cam Iwasa: interviews got a lot better and then.
328
0:10:10,167 --> 0:10:13,643
Cam Iwasa: So taking that into broadcasting was a very
329
0:10:13,683 --> 0:10:15,371
Cam Iwasa: good transition that I kind of got those
330
0:10:15,452 --> 0:10:15,994
Cam Iwasa: reps already.
331
0:10:16,255 --> 0:10:18,042
Mark Haney: Well, you mentioned doing interviews and I
332
0:10:18,122 --> 0:10:20,247
Mark Haney: see you know I'm a big Niner fan and so I
333
0:10:20,287 --> 0:10:23,801
Mark Haney: can picture the post game interview with
334
0:10:23,861 --> 0:10:27,091
Mark Haney: somebody on the Niners and they go back in
335
0:10:27,272 --> 0:10:29,098
Mark Haney: the interview process and they question
336
0:10:29,138 --> 0:10:31,204
Mark Haney: these players or even the coaching staff
337
0:10:31,365 --> 0:10:34,816
Mark Haney: about specific aspects of the game.
338
0:10:34,856 --> 0:10:36,080
Mark Haney: In the third quarter you did this.
339
0:10:36,220 --> 0:10:38,185
Mark Haney: In the first quarter you did that and what
340
0:10:38,205 --> 0:10:39,468
Mark Haney: were you thinking during that time?
341
0:10:39,509 --> 0:10:43,247
Mark Haney: And I have to imagine it's hard as a player.
342
0:10:43,308 --> 0:10:44,574
Mark Haney: You just got done playing, especially if
343
0:10:44,615 --> 0:10:45,178
Mark Haney: it's football.
344
0:10:45,218 --> 0:10:46,583
Mark Haney: You're you know you've been bumping heads
345
0:10:46,643 --> 0:10:51,076
Mark Haney: for the last hour and or two hours and to
346
0:10:51,156 --> 0:10:53,382
Mark Haney: remember what you might have been thinking
347
0:10:53,543 --> 0:10:57,213
Mark Haney: earlier in the, you know, in the game seems
348
0:10:58,035 --> 0:10:58,738
Mark Haney: Almost impossible.
349
0:10:58,758 --> 0:11:00,003
Mark Haney: Hey, I gotta go back and watch the tape.
350
0:11:00,095 --> 0:11:00,879
Mark Haney: I don't really don't know.
351
0:11:01,495 --> 0:11:03,863
Cam Iwasa: The one thing I will say is it's similar to
352
0:11:04,024 --> 0:11:04,084
Cam Iwasa: us.
353
0:11:04,335 --> 0:11:06,362
Cam Iwasa: It's different than football because soccer
354
0:11:06,382 --> 0:11:07,165
Cam Iwasa: is a lot more fluid.
355
0:11:07,595 --> 0:11:09,403
Cam Iwasa: Things happen in the game kind of continues.
356
0:11:09,455 --> 0:11:11,021
Cam Iwasa: There's not the stoppages in between every
357
0:11:11,081 --> 0:11:14,544
Cam Iwasa: play, but if somebody in a post game
358
0:11:14,564 --> 0:11:16,120
Cam Iwasa: interview is asking you a question about a
359
0:11:16,160 --> 0:11:18,278
Cam Iwasa: specific play, it was probably either
360
0:11:18,318 --> 0:11:19,643
Cam Iwasa: something really good or something really
361
0:11:19,683 --> 0:11:21,939
Cam Iwasa: bad, and so you've been thinking about it.
362
0:11:22,180 --> 0:11:23,664
Cam Iwasa: You know it's it's been hot.
363
0:11:23,945 --> 0:11:24,627
Mark Haney: You potentially.
364
0:11:24,715 --> 0:11:25,860
Cam Iwasa: Yeah, it's going to be pretty easy to
365
0:11:25,900 --> 0:11:26,261
Cam Iwasa: remember.
366
0:11:26,302 --> 0:11:28,200
Cam Iwasa: I think so, for better or for worse.
367
0:11:28,300 --> 0:11:30,356
Cam Iwasa: I think that recall is a lot easier than if
368
0:11:30,376 --> 0:11:32,281
Cam Iwasa: they ask you about some mundane play that
369
0:11:32,301 --> 0:11:34,086
Cam Iwasa: happened, you know, right in the middle of
370
0:11:34,106 --> 0:11:34,387
Cam Iwasa: the game.
371
0:11:34,575 --> 0:11:36,861
Mark Haney: What's the most critical thing your dad has
372
0:11:36,921 --> 0:11:39,247
Mark Haney: said about your broadcasting career?
373
0:11:40,516 --> 0:11:43,564
Cam Iwasa: Mostly just that I like mumbled too much
374
0:11:43,645 --> 0:11:46,138
Cam Iwasa: sometimes, and maybe not even mumbled, but
375
0:11:46,178 --> 0:11:49,507
Cam Iwasa: just again it's the repeat of the go to
376
0:11:49,567 --> 0:11:52,503
Cam Iwasa: word Not being comfortable with the empty
377
0:11:52,563 --> 0:11:52,904
Cam Iwasa: space.
378
0:11:53,556 --> 0:11:55,209
Cam Iwasa: I think that's something that I was really,
379
0:11:55,250 --> 0:11:57,579
Cam Iwasa: really bad at is I tried to fill space all
380
0:11:57,619 --> 0:12:00,647
Cam Iwasa: the time and not realizing that a pause to
381
0:12:00,727 --> 0:12:02,681
Cam Iwasa: me that might seem like the longest pause
382
0:12:02,741 --> 0:12:04,819
Cam Iwasa: ever to the listener doesn't seem like that
383
0:12:04,859 --> 0:12:06,497
Cam Iwasa: long of a pause, and so just getting
384
0:12:06,578 --> 0:12:08,896
Cam Iwasa: comfortable with sitting in silence while I
385
0:12:08,956 --> 0:12:11,082
Cam Iwasa: gather my thoughts, as opposed to saying um,
386
0:12:11,382 --> 0:12:14,779
Cam Iwasa: or you know, or like and things like that.
387
0:12:15,195 --> 0:12:19,264
Mark Haney: Yeah these are basic public speaking skills
388
0:12:19,564 --> 0:12:21,408
Mark Haney: or tips, if you will.
389
0:12:22,056 --> 0:12:24,553
Mark Haney: That can help any of us in any in any line
390
0:12:24,574 --> 0:12:24,755
Mark Haney: of work.
391
0:12:24,875 --> 0:12:26,220
Mark Haney: It can help us if we're building a
392
0:12:26,280 --> 0:12:28,105
Mark Haney: commercial real estate business or if we're
393
0:12:30,904 --> 0:12:31,387
Mark Haney: here I go.
394
0:12:31,488 --> 0:12:32,996
Cam Iwasa: I'm saying I picked myself, I'm in your
395
0:12:33,036 --> 0:12:33,217
Cam Iwasa: head.
396
0:12:33,237 --> 0:12:35,765
Cam Iwasa: Yeah, oh no, I'm back to my old habits.
397
0:12:37,015 --> 0:12:38,259
Mark Haney: OK, let's talk about.
398
0:12:38,880 --> 0:12:40,766
Mark Haney: Let's talk about winning, because I want to,
399
0:12:40,906 --> 0:12:43,841
Mark Haney: I want to make sure we dive into the state
400
0:12:43,861 --> 0:12:47,321
Mark Haney: of the real estate business, but because
401
0:12:47,341 --> 0:12:48,585
Mark Haney: that's really important, I think, to our
402
0:12:48,625 --> 0:12:48,966
Mark Haney: listeners.
403
0:12:49,055 --> 0:12:53,627
Mark Haney: But winning is such an elusive thing.
404
0:12:53,695 --> 0:12:58,247
Mark Haney: There are some people in our world that
405
0:12:58,809 --> 0:13:01,637
Mark Haney: tend to come out on the winning side of
406
0:13:01,697 --> 0:13:03,484
Mark Haney: things more often than not.
407
0:13:03,615 --> 0:13:05,882
Mark Haney: And now, obviously, you have done that in
408
0:13:05,922 --> 0:13:07,976
Mark Haney: your life and you're in your short career
409
0:13:08,658 --> 0:13:08,919
Mark Haney: as a.
410
0:13:09,079 --> 0:13:10,944
Mark Haney: You're a young person, but you've you've
411
0:13:11,044 --> 0:13:13,640
Mark Haney: really achieved a lot in this short period
412
0:13:13,660 --> 0:13:13,982
Mark Haney: of time.
413
0:13:14,315 --> 0:13:15,578
Mark Haney: So maybe let's talk about some of the
414
0:13:15,638 --> 0:13:19,487
Mark Haney: principles associated with being the best
415
0:13:20,257 --> 0:13:23,025
Mark Haney: and exceeding expectations and so on.
416
0:13:23,396 --> 0:13:23,617
Mark Haney: Maybe.
417
0:13:23,637 --> 0:13:24,481
Mark Haney: Where does it start?
418
0:13:25,176 --> 0:13:25,919
Mark Haney: Any thoughts on that?
419
0:13:26,636 --> 0:13:28,904
Cam Iwasa: I think all the cliches are pretty true.
420
0:13:30,576 --> 0:13:32,085
Cam Iwasa: The amount of work you put in is what
421
0:13:32,105 --> 0:13:33,976
Cam Iwasa: you're going to get out of something for
422
0:13:33,996 --> 0:13:36,405
Cam Iwasa: the most part, which is why I think I
423
0:13:36,445 --> 0:13:39,296
Cam Iwasa: gravitated towards real estate and
424
0:13:39,376 --> 0:13:41,783
Cam Iwasa: something like that industry, because it
425
0:13:41,843 --> 0:13:44,197
Cam Iwasa: really isn't eat what you kill type of
426
0:13:44,599 --> 0:13:44,961
Cam Iwasa: business.
427
0:13:45,395 --> 0:13:47,281
Cam Iwasa: There's no salaries, but there's also no
428
0:13:47,362 --> 0:13:48,525
Cam Iwasa: cap on what you can make.
429
0:13:48,615 --> 0:13:50,988
Cam Iwasa: You can be satisfied making kind of an
430
0:13:51,088 --> 0:13:53,278
Cam Iwasa: average amount of money, or you can grind
431
0:13:53,319 --> 0:13:54,824
Cam Iwasa: and try to be really, really successful,
432
0:13:54,936 --> 0:13:57,015
Cam Iwasa: and I think sports is the same way.
433
0:13:57,155 --> 0:13:59,656
Cam Iwasa: You can just try to make the team, you can
434
0:13:59,716 --> 0:14:01,601
Cam Iwasa: just try to make it into the starting
435
0:14:01,621 --> 0:14:03,866
Cam Iwasa: lineup, or you can try to be the best
436
0:14:03,886 --> 0:14:04,407
Cam Iwasa: player on the team.
437
0:14:04,455 --> 0:14:06,547
Cam Iwasa: You can try to be a team that finishes
438
0:14:06,607 --> 0:14:08,457
Cam Iwasa: middle of the table or a team that finishes
439
0:14:08,497 --> 0:14:08,939
Cam Iwasa: at the top.
440
0:14:09,695 --> 0:14:12,021
Cam Iwasa: What you're satisfied with will oftentimes
441
0:14:12,122 --> 0:14:15,338
Cam Iwasa: dictate what you end up doing, and so I
442
0:14:15,378 --> 0:14:16,943
Cam Iwasa: think a lot of people are satisfied just
443
0:14:17,003 --> 0:14:20,858
Cam Iwasa: being OK and that's all fine If that's what
444
0:14:20,898 --> 0:14:23,745
Cam Iwasa: makes you happy and you want to put in a
445
0:14:23,806 --> 0:14:25,719
Cam Iwasa: little bit of work to be just fine.
446
0:14:25,840 --> 0:14:27,305
Cam Iwasa: That's great if you're happy.
447
0:14:27,415 --> 0:14:29,581
Cam Iwasa: But I think people that are truly driven
448
0:14:29,902 --> 0:14:32,196
Cam Iwasa: are never truly satisfied and are going to
449
0:14:32,237 --> 0:14:35,846
Cam Iwasa: continue to put in the top 1 percent, top
450
0:14:35,966 --> 0:14:38,662
Cam Iwasa: five, whatever you want to be, that sort of
451
0:14:38,722 --> 0:14:40,427
Cam Iwasa: work in order to have that sort of success.
452
0:14:40,535 --> 0:14:42,481
Cam Iwasa: And I think the real estate thing and
453
0:14:42,541 --> 0:14:44,386
Cam Iwasa: sports go very hand in hand in that way.
454
0:14:45,036 --> 0:14:47,024
Mark Haney: Yeah, you mentioned hard work.
455
0:14:47,135 --> 0:14:50,725
Mark Haney: That's kind of a given, but setting your
456
0:14:50,785 --> 0:14:52,819
Mark Haney: sights high, right, that's kind of what I
457
0:14:53,260 --> 0:14:54,104
Mark Haney: took out of that.
458
0:14:54,255 --> 0:14:57,462
Mark Haney: Setting your sights high, whether it be in
459
0:14:57,482 --> 0:15:01,417
Mark Haney: soccer or other sports or in business, is
460
0:15:01,517 --> 0:15:03,923
Mark Haney: kind of what a big part of what separates
461
0:15:03,963 --> 0:15:05,415
Mark Haney: the people that actually achieve the
462
0:15:05,476 --> 0:15:07,582
Mark Haney: greatness versus the people that sort of
463
0:15:07,642 --> 0:15:09,186
Mark Haney: achieve the average.
464
0:15:09,695 --> 0:15:11,260
Mark Haney: And one of the things that you said before
465
0:15:11,300 --> 0:15:13,727
Mark Haney: the show is I'll never have a job.
466
0:15:13,936 --> 0:15:17,519
Mark Haney: Is is fun this I'm paraphrasing as fun as
467
0:15:17,559 --> 0:15:19,505
Mark Haney: my last job, right, playing professional
468
0:15:19,685 --> 0:15:20,166
Mark Haney: soccer.
469
0:15:20,937 --> 0:15:24,718
Mark Haney: But real estate, is is great, and I would
470
0:15:24,878 --> 0:15:27,144
Mark Haney: challenge you then, on your own, on your
471
0:15:27,224 --> 0:15:28,527
Mark Haney: own, that that comment.
472
0:15:29,935 --> 0:15:33,444
Mark Haney: I mean there probably is a number in real
473
0:15:33,484 --> 0:15:35,839
Mark Haney: estate that would be as great as playing
474
0:15:35,879 --> 0:15:36,702
Mark Haney: professional soccer.
475
0:15:36,782 --> 0:15:38,059
Mark Haney: I don't know, that's, that's kind of an
476
0:15:38,099 --> 0:15:38,641
Mark Haney: interesting thing.
477
0:15:39,036 --> 0:15:42,449
Mark Haney: What site could you set for, or what could
478
0:15:42,509 --> 0:15:44,557
Mark Haney: any of us set for ourselves in commercial
479
0:15:44,597 --> 0:15:45,840
Mark Haney: real estate or something like that?
480
0:15:46,321 --> 0:15:49,701
Mark Haney: That would be as cool as playing
481
0:15:50,388 --> 0:15:51,075
Mark Haney: professional sports.
482
0:15:51,175 --> 0:15:53,542
Mark Haney: Now, I don't know of one because I I don't
483
0:15:53,562 --> 0:15:55,046
Mark Haney: want to be athlete and I was never that
484
0:15:55,086 --> 0:15:58,682
Mark Haney: good, but I have to imagine there is a.
485
0:15:59,224 --> 0:16:01,068
Cam Iwasa: There is, you know there is a way to do
486
0:16:01,108 --> 0:16:01,288
Cam Iwasa: that.
487
0:16:01,435 --> 0:16:04,022
Cam Iwasa: Well, part of setting goals for me is a
488
0:16:04,122 --> 0:16:05,767
Cam Iwasa: making goals that are actually attainable
489
0:16:06,355 --> 0:16:08,824
Cam Iwasa: and then reassessing goals at a certain
490
0:16:08,884 --> 0:16:09,105
Cam Iwasa: point.
491
0:16:09,435 --> 0:16:12,184
Cam Iwasa: So, for instance, you're asking about where
492
0:16:12,224 --> 0:16:12,966
Cam Iwasa: was you know when?
493
0:16:13,175 --> 0:16:14,961
Cam Iwasa: What was the dream of trying to play for
494
0:16:15,102 --> 0:16:16,597
Cam Iwasa: the Republic or something when I was in
495
0:16:16,637 --> 0:16:16,958
Cam Iwasa: high school?
496
0:16:16,978 --> 0:16:17,922
Cam Iwasa: That wasn't my dream.
497
0:16:18,076 --> 0:16:19,491
Cam Iwasa: That wasn't a goal of mine to play
498
0:16:19,512 --> 0:16:19,815
Cam Iwasa: professionally.
499
0:16:19,915 --> 0:16:22,022
Cam Iwasa: The goal of mine was to get to college and
500
0:16:22,062 --> 0:16:23,206
Cam Iwasa: be successful in college.
501
0:16:23,416 --> 0:16:25,305
Cam Iwasa: And then, once you make that happen, you
502
0:16:25,346 --> 0:16:27,235
Cam Iwasa: reassess OK, I think I can do this.
503
0:16:27,355 --> 0:16:30,025
Cam Iwasa: I can be a starter on one of the best teams
504
0:16:30,346 --> 0:16:31,972
Cam Iwasa: in college soccer, blah, blah, blah.
505
0:16:32,233 --> 0:16:33,577
Cam Iwasa: You work up and up and next thing you know
506
0:16:33,637 --> 0:16:35,765
Cam Iwasa: my goal is to be the best player on a
507
0:16:35,785 --> 0:16:37,820
Cam Iwasa: professional team and break records and
508
0:16:37,860 --> 0:16:38,403
Cam Iwasa: things like that.
509
0:16:39,198 --> 0:16:42,533
Cam Iwasa: So, professionally now you know my first
510
0:16:42,553 --> 0:16:45,666
Cam Iwasa: year in the business my goals are not what
511
0:16:45,686 --> 0:16:46,933
Cam Iwasa: the goals of somebody that's been doing it
512
0:16:46,953 --> 0:16:48,358
Cam Iwasa: for a decade are Right.
513
0:16:48,419 --> 0:16:52,653
Cam Iwasa: My goals are to become more and more of an
514
0:16:52,673 --> 0:16:54,261
Cam Iwasa: expert of what I'm doing, learn the
515
0:16:54,301 --> 0:16:56,291
Cam Iwasa: industry, learn the ins and outs, get to
516
0:16:56,311 --> 0:16:58,061
Cam Iwasa: the point where I am comfortable that I can
517
0:16:58,101 --> 0:16:59,971
Cam Iwasa: walk into a room and hold my own amongst
518
0:16:59,991 --> 0:17:01,648
Cam Iwasa: people that have been doing it for two
519
0:17:01,689 --> 0:17:01,912
Cam Iwasa: decades.
520
0:17:01,953 --> 0:17:06,109
Cam Iwasa: Right, having that sort of the grind of
521
0:17:06,169 --> 0:17:07,995
Cam Iwasa: just information, feeling like I do and
522
0:17:08,015 --> 0:17:09,842
Cam Iwasa: like I belong as a professional in this
523
0:17:09,862 --> 0:17:10,163
Cam Iwasa: industry.
524
0:17:11,075 --> 0:17:12,421
Cam Iwasa: Ten years from the five years from now.
525
0:17:12,461 --> 0:17:14,459
Cam Iwasa: Ten years from now, my goals are probably
526
0:17:14,479 --> 0:17:15,323
Cam Iwasa: going to be a lot different.
527
0:17:15,395 --> 0:17:17,482
Cam Iwasa: It's going to be second nature that I know
528
0:17:17,502 --> 0:17:18,936
Cam Iwasa: what I'm doing and it's going to be hey, my
529
0:17:18,976 --> 0:17:21,223
Cam Iwasa: goal is to make this much close, this many
530
0:17:21,263 --> 0:17:25,923
Cam Iwasa: deals, you know, do X amount of numbers and
531
0:17:26,865 --> 0:17:28,790
Cam Iwasa: do it in a way that I still have plenty of
532
0:17:28,850 --> 0:17:30,701
Cam Iwasa: time to watch my kids grow up, or something
533
0:17:30,721 --> 0:17:31,062
Cam Iwasa: like that.
534
0:17:31,162 --> 0:17:31,664
Cam Iwasa: You know what I mean.
535
0:17:31,755 --> 0:17:34,944
Cam Iwasa: So I believe that a big part of being
536
0:17:35,164 --> 0:17:37,360
Cam Iwasa: extremely successful is reassessing goals
537
0:17:37,460 --> 0:17:38,022
Cam Iwasa: constantly.
538
0:17:38,095 --> 0:17:39,921
Cam Iwasa: You can't just say this is my goal and then
539
0:17:39,941 --> 0:17:42,076
Cam Iwasa: you hit that goal and you're satisfied, or
540
0:17:42,397 --> 0:17:44,341
Cam Iwasa: have a goal that's so unattainable from
541
0:17:44,541 --> 0:17:47,107
Cam Iwasa: today that it feels like too much of an
542
0:17:47,167 --> 0:17:47,748
Cam Iwasa: uphill climb.
543
0:17:47,815 --> 0:17:50,263
Cam Iwasa: I think, those many goals in between where
544
0:17:50,283 --> 0:17:51,857
Cam Iwasa: you're starting and where that kind of
545
0:17:51,918 --> 0:17:53,582
Cam Iwasa: mountaintop for you is are really, really
546
0:17:53,622 --> 0:17:53,983
Cam Iwasa: important.
547
0:17:54,865 --> 0:17:57,299
Mark Haney: I agree with that, and one of the things
548
0:17:57,359 --> 0:18:00,506
Mark Haney: that I've had to overcome in my life is
549
0:18:00,786 --> 0:18:02,741
Mark Haney: setbacks, especially in entrepreneurship.
550
0:18:02,915 --> 0:18:04,601
Mark Haney: I have to imagine it happens, you know, on
551
0:18:04,621 --> 0:18:05,825
Mark Haney: the soccer field as well.
552
0:18:07,138 --> 0:18:09,725
Mark Haney: You set the goal and it's never quite as
553
0:18:10,286 --> 0:18:13,775
Mark Haney: easily attained as what I thought it would
554
0:18:13,795 --> 0:18:14,975
Mark Haney: be At least that was for me.
555
0:18:15,276 --> 0:18:16,821
Mark Haney: It's like, oh wow, this is always twice as
556
0:18:17,122 --> 0:18:19,657
Mark Haney: or 10 times as hard as I thought, and so
557
0:18:19,697 --> 0:18:23,026
Mark Haney: these setbacks can be demoralizing for a
558
0:18:23,086 --> 0:18:27,824
Mark Haney: lot of us and any ideas or thoughts around
559
0:18:28,145 --> 0:18:32,235
Mark Haney: dealing with setbacks and adversity as you
560
0:18:32,255 --> 0:18:34,622
Mark Haney: are, as you're trying to achieve something
561
0:18:34,642 --> 0:18:35,445
Mark Haney: important in your life.
562
0:18:36,075 --> 0:18:37,620
Cam Iwasa: Yeah, I think that's where the long term
563
0:18:37,680 --> 0:18:39,786
Cam Iwasa: view does help is when you have a setback,
564
0:18:40,136 --> 0:18:44,190
Cam Iwasa: because I would defy you to find somebody
565
0:18:44,230 --> 0:18:45,695
Cam Iwasa: who's you know their trajectory.
566
0:18:45,836 --> 0:18:47,565
Cam Iwasa: In whatever business it is, whether it's
567
0:18:47,626 --> 0:18:49,556
Cam Iwasa: sports, whether it's real estate, whether
568
0:18:49,596 --> 0:18:51,101
Cam Iwasa: it's any other sort of entrepreneurship
569
0:18:51,482 --> 0:18:53,339
Cam Iwasa: where their trajectory is just a straight
570
0:18:53,419 --> 0:18:56,080
Cam Iwasa: uphill climb, You're not going to find it
571
0:18:56,201 --> 0:18:56,402
Cam Iwasa: right.
572
0:18:56,776 --> 0:18:59,546
Cam Iwasa: Nobody, except for maybe the very, very
573
0:18:59,686 --> 0:19:02,255
Cam Iwasa: lucky, lucky few, are just straight uphill
574
0:19:02,737 --> 0:19:03,962
Cam Iwasa: and don't have any dips.
575
0:19:04,676 --> 0:19:07,583
Cam Iwasa: It's always, for me, the thing that I
576
0:19:07,604 --> 0:19:09,087
Cam Iwasa: relate to the most is, professionally,
577
0:19:09,460 --> 0:19:10,215
Cam Iwasa: things are going great.
578
0:19:10,255 --> 0:19:12,615
Cam Iwasa: You feel like you're no one's going to stop
579
0:19:12,735 --> 0:19:14,777
Cam Iwasa: you, and then you have that injury that
580
0:19:14,798 --> 0:19:15,682
Cam Iwasa: knocks you out for a month.
581
0:19:15,843 --> 0:19:18,403
Mark Haney: Yes, yeah, it's amazing how even the most
582
0:19:18,504 --> 0:19:22,198
Mark Haney: talented players or business people, public
583
0:19:22,239 --> 0:19:25,095
Mark Haney: speakers, they are still human.
584
0:19:25,617 --> 0:19:30,030
Mark Haney: So everyone who has that what looks like an
585
0:19:30,251 --> 0:19:32,217
Mark Haney: easy climb to success because all the
586
0:19:32,278 --> 0:19:34,366
Mark Haney: natural talent has got some other
587
0:19:34,929 --> 0:19:36,959
Mark Haney: weaknesses or things that show up in their
588
0:19:37,020 --> 0:19:39,645
Mark Haney: life that can drag you down, just things
589
0:19:39,706 --> 0:19:40,155
Mark Haney: that are unpredictable.
590
0:19:40,998 --> 0:19:42,969
Cam Iwasa: And to keep it on the sports topic, and
591
0:19:42,989 --> 0:19:44,860
Cam Iwasa: something that'll hit close to home for you
592
0:19:44,981 --> 0:19:47,274
Cam Iwasa: is you talk about the Niners and they're on
593
0:19:47,294 --> 0:19:47,395
Cam Iwasa: fire.
594
0:19:48,001 --> 0:19:49,153
Cam Iwasa: They look like clearly the best team in the
595
0:19:49,174 --> 0:19:49,295
Cam Iwasa: league.
596
0:19:49,797 --> 0:19:52,028
Cam Iwasa: They got Christian McCaffrey and Debo and
597
0:19:52,129 --> 0:19:54,260
Cam Iwasa: these guys that are the best skill position
598
0:19:54,280 --> 0:19:55,567
Cam Iwasa: players maybe in the league.
599
0:19:55,869 --> 0:19:56,934
Cam Iwasa: Mccaffrey certainly is at the top of that
600
0:19:56,954 --> 0:19:59,486
Cam Iwasa: list and you go into Cleveland and there's
601
0:19:59,527 --> 0:20:01,136
Cam Iwasa: some bad weather and a couple of guys get
602
0:20:01,157 --> 0:20:03,541
Cam Iwasa: knocked out of the game and next thing you
603
0:20:03,581 --> 0:20:05,571
Cam Iwasa: know you're missing a field goal at the end
604
0:20:05,591 --> 0:20:07,352
Cam Iwasa: to ruin your perfect season at the time.
605
0:20:08,298 --> 0:20:11,170
Cam Iwasa: And like you can either be devastated and
606
0:20:11,190 --> 0:20:12,455
Cam Iwasa: be like, oh, now it's over, because
607
0:20:12,997 --> 0:20:14,364
Cam Iwasa: McCaffrey might be out for a couple of
608
0:20:14,404 --> 0:20:16,835
Cam Iwasa: weeks, and you know we, we just got a
609
0:20:17,438 --> 0:20:19,005
Cam Iwasa: regroup on the fly and this and that, but
610
0:20:19,185 --> 0:20:20,672
Cam Iwasa: or you could pick yourselves up.
611
0:20:20,692 --> 0:20:21,295
Cam Iwasa: You can look at what you got.
612
0:20:21,857 --> 0:20:24,126
Cam Iwasa: You can get guys, can they're?
613
0:20:24,186 --> 0:20:26,294
Cam Iwasa: Now McCaffrey's goal is get back on the
614
0:20:26,354 --> 0:20:26,454
Cam Iwasa: field.
615
0:20:26,475 --> 0:20:29,189
Cam Iwasa: Right, it's not anything more important
616
0:20:29,229 --> 0:20:31,949
Cam Iwasa: than get back on the field and then you can
617
0:20:32,050 --> 0:20:34,346
Cam Iwasa: start back from where you took, where you
618
0:20:34,386 --> 0:20:36,554
Cam Iwasa: left off of the ultimate goal of the season.
619
0:20:36,665 --> 0:20:39,774
Cam Iwasa: But it's creating different goals within
620
0:20:39,794 --> 0:20:42,433
Cam Iwasa: the goals to get you where you need to be,
621
0:20:42,745 --> 0:20:44,271
Cam Iwasa: to continue that trajectory.
622
0:20:44,605 --> 0:20:47,433
Mark Haney: Well, scott and I my business partner over
623
0:20:47,493 --> 0:20:50,311
Mark Haney: here, the guy that helps me with the show,
624
0:20:50,351 --> 0:20:52,148
Mark Haney: among other things he and I are talking
625
0:20:52,188 --> 0:20:54,531
Mark Haney: Niners all the time because we love the
626
0:20:54,571 --> 0:20:58,333
Mark Haney: Niners, and so, yeah, cleveland was a tough
627
0:20:58,474 --> 0:20:58,875
Mark Haney: loss.
628
0:20:59,845 --> 0:21:01,291
Mark Haney: There's still five and one by the time this
629
0:21:01,472 --> 0:21:01,753
Mark Haney: airs.
630
0:21:01,845 --> 0:21:04,694
Mark Haney: hopefully there you know seven and one or
631
0:21:04,754 --> 0:21:05,316
Mark Haney: something like that.
632
0:21:05,465 --> 0:21:06,469
Mark Haney: This will probably air in a week or two,
633
0:21:07,485 --> 0:21:12,448
Mark Haney: but it the part of the Niners that have
634
0:21:12,508 --> 0:21:13,691
Mark Haney: impressed me the most.
635
0:21:13,811 --> 0:21:17,168
Mark Haney: I think this year is how they have.
636
0:21:18,091 --> 0:21:21,129
Mark Haney: They said in advance that Brock Purdy was
637
0:21:21,190 --> 0:21:23,075
Mark Haney: gonna be the number one quarterback.
638
0:21:23,245 --> 0:21:26,045
Mark Haney: Even though he could barely throw he could
639
0:21:26,066 --> 0:21:28,914
Mark Haney: throw every other day during the spring
640
0:21:29,746 --> 0:21:32,127
Mark Haney: they still decided that he they gave him
641
0:21:32,147 --> 0:21:33,828
Mark Haney: the number one spot because of what he did
642
0:21:33,889 --> 0:21:34,411
Mark Haney: last year.
643
0:21:34,705 --> 0:21:39,351
Mark Haney: You know, mr Irrelevant drafted last in the
644
0:21:39,451 --> 0:21:42,729
Mark Haney: professional football draft and then does
645
0:21:42,869 --> 0:21:46,386
Mark Haney: well and they still believed in him, even
646
0:21:46,446 --> 0:21:49,395
Mark Haney: though you know he had the elbow problem.
647
0:21:49,605 --> 0:21:51,753
Mark Haney: I love that about their approach.
648
0:21:52,165 --> 0:21:54,112
Mark Haney: I think a lot of other people were, you
649
0:21:54,132 --> 0:21:56,131
Mark Haney: know, praying for Trey Lance to get more of
650
0:21:56,171 --> 0:21:58,891
Mark Haney: an opportunity here, but I'm pulling for
651
0:21:58,911 --> 0:21:59,533
Mark Haney: the underdog.
652
0:22:00,365 --> 0:22:02,673
Cam Iwasa: Yeah, I think there's multiple factors
653
0:22:02,713 --> 0:22:02,854
Cam Iwasa: there.
654
0:22:02,985 --> 0:22:05,092
Cam Iwasa: I think for Purdy it makes such a big
655
0:22:05,173 --> 0:22:06,528
Cam Iwasa: difference having the confidence of the
656
0:22:06,569 --> 0:22:09,511
Cam Iwasa: team behind you, knowing that not only is
657
0:22:09,551 --> 0:22:11,106
Cam Iwasa: Trey Lance not gonna be the guy, but we're
658
0:22:11,126 --> 0:22:12,826
Cam Iwasa: actually gonna ship him out of town so that
659
0:22:12,846 --> 0:22:15,034
Cam Iwasa: there's no doubt you are our guy right.
660
0:22:15,165 --> 0:22:17,192
Cam Iwasa: So I think it's a lot easier to perform at
661
0:22:17,212 --> 0:22:18,728
Cam Iwasa: your best when you're not having to look
662
0:22:18,788 --> 0:22:19,551
Cam Iwasa: over your shoulder at all.
663
0:22:20,665 --> 0:22:23,385
Cam Iwasa: That's A, I think B it says a lot about the
664
0:22:23,405 --> 0:22:26,034
Cam Iwasa: Niners front office that they can swallow
665
0:22:26,105 --> 0:22:28,293
Cam Iwasa: their pride a little bit, because I think
666
0:22:28,313 --> 0:22:29,829
Cam Iwasa: there's a lot of people that they spent the
667
0:22:29,870 --> 0:22:32,472
Cam Iwasa: capital that the Niners spent on getting
668
0:22:32,492 --> 0:22:33,014
Cam Iwasa: Trey Lance.
669
0:22:33,145 --> 0:22:34,611
Mark Haney: Yeah, if you're just watching, they gave
670
0:22:34,651 --> 0:22:36,248
Mark Haney: away a bunch of you know I think three
671
0:22:36,288 --> 0:22:37,473
Mark Haney: first round draft picks.
672
0:22:37,905 --> 0:22:40,529
Mark Haney: It was something crazy yeah to move up in
673
0:22:40,549 --> 0:22:43,827
Mark Haney: the draft to draft Trey Lance third, and
674
0:22:43,947 --> 0:22:44,730
Mark Haney: then they ended up.
675
0:22:44,851 --> 0:22:47,051
Mark Haney: He ended up really, he got injured, sadly.
676
0:22:47,285 --> 0:22:48,731
Mark Haney: I think he's got all kinds of talent and
677
0:22:48,771 --> 0:22:50,769
Mark Haney: ability but he got injured.
678
0:22:50,809 --> 0:22:53,516
Mark Haney: And then Brock comes in and wow.
679
0:22:54,788 --> 0:22:56,133
Cam Iwasa: But yeah, to that point, when you give up
680
0:22:56,225 --> 0:22:58,353
Cam Iwasa: that kind of draft capital and just in
681
0:22:58,433 --> 0:23:02,025
Cam Iwasa: general you spend that much on a player, a
682
0:23:02,085 --> 0:23:03,565
Cam Iwasa: lot of people are really incentivized to
683
0:23:03,645 --> 0:23:05,873
Cam Iwasa: try to make themselves look good and force
684
0:23:05,974 --> 0:23:08,333
Cam Iwasa: it to make him be the guy so that you don't
685
0:23:08,373 --> 0:23:10,091
Cam Iwasa: look like, oh we blew it on that pick.
686
0:23:10,545 --> 0:23:12,345
Cam Iwasa: But I think it says a lot about them and
687
0:23:12,365 --> 0:23:13,511
Cam Iwasa: being comfortable with where they're.
688
0:23:13,631 --> 0:23:15,231
Cam Iwasa: At that they are able to move on from him
689
0:23:15,271 --> 0:23:17,772
Cam Iwasa: and say, hey look, we found a gem Diamond
690
0:23:17,812 --> 0:23:20,691
Cam Iwasa: in the Rough and Purdy and we can go ahead
691
0:23:20,711 --> 0:23:21,453
Cam Iwasa: and cut our losses.
692
0:23:21,493 --> 0:23:22,135
Cam Iwasa: With Trey Lance.
693
0:23:22,225 --> 0:23:23,611
Cam Iwasa: I think they got back like a sixth round
694
0:23:23,651 --> 0:23:25,671
Cam Iwasa: pick or something from the Cowboys, right,
695
0:23:26,725 --> 0:23:28,291
Cam Iwasa: and so it says a lot that they were able to
696
0:23:28,351 --> 0:23:30,651
Cam Iwasa: do that and it puts him in the best
697
0:23:30,752 --> 0:23:32,649
Cam Iwasa: possible position for him to succeed and
698
0:23:32,689 --> 0:23:34,013
Cam Iwasa: continue to grow his confidence.
699
0:23:34,585 --> 0:23:36,866
Mark Haney: You know, we see that same type of I think
700
0:23:36,886 --> 0:23:39,890
Mark Haney: of it as like sunk cost bias, where you
701
0:23:40,050 --> 0:23:41,426
Mark Haney: might even be in real estate, where you've
702
0:23:41,446 --> 0:23:43,714
Mark Haney: been trying to run at this one way for a
703
0:23:43,754 --> 0:23:46,945
Mark Haney: while and it used to work at some level and
704
0:23:46,985 --> 0:23:48,891
Mark Haney: you're just, you can't break that
705
0:23:48,971 --> 0:23:52,691
Mark Haney: commitment to it because for what is more
706
0:23:52,732 --> 0:23:54,687
Mark Haney: like a psychological reason or emotional
707
0:23:54,767 --> 0:23:58,436
Mark Haney: reason and really it's time to pivot right,
708
0:23:59,305 --> 0:24:01,853
Mark Haney: it's time, and sometimes you need just
709
0:24:01,913 --> 0:24:03,669
Mark Haney: enough information to make the decision to
710
0:24:03,769 --> 0:24:06,431
Mark Haney: pivot, but yet we tend to sort of hang on
711
0:24:07,033 --> 0:24:10,152
Mark Haney: as humans, to investments that maybe we
712
0:24:10,994 --> 0:24:11,456
Mark Haney: need to dump.
713
0:24:11,705 --> 0:24:13,050
Cam Iwasa: Yeah, once you put a certain amount of time
714
0:24:13,070 --> 0:24:15,611
Cam Iwasa: into something, you want to prove yourself
715
0:24:15,732 --> 0:24:17,471
Cam Iwasa: right, that that time wasn't wasted.
716
0:24:18,428 --> 0:24:20,193
Cam Iwasa: And even if you do pivot away from that
717
0:24:20,293 --> 0:24:22,130
Cam Iwasa: exact thing, it doesn't mean it was a waste
718
0:24:22,170 --> 0:24:23,750
Cam Iwasa: of time because you learned something in
719
0:24:23,770 --> 0:24:24,332
Cam Iwasa: the process.
720
0:24:24,425 --> 0:24:26,746
Cam Iwasa: I think that's the biggest thing, is you
721
0:24:26,766 --> 0:24:27,710
Cam Iwasa: either win or you learn.
722
0:24:27,805 --> 0:24:30,548
Cam Iwasa: That's like another old cliche, like all of
723
0:24:30,609 --> 0:24:31,512
Cam Iwasa: these cliches are.
724
0:24:32,245 --> 0:24:33,451
Cam Iwasa: They're cliches because they're true.
725
0:24:33,745 --> 0:24:36,474
Cam Iwasa: Like largely all of them are very, very
726
0:24:36,534 --> 0:24:36,755
Cam Iwasa: true.
727
0:24:36,845 --> 0:24:39,312
Cam Iwasa: And so the only loss is if you do put time
728
0:24:39,352 --> 0:24:42,129
Cam Iwasa: into something and you realize it's a
729
0:24:42,169 --> 0:24:43,807
Cam Iwasa: mistake and you pivot and then you go and
730
0:24:43,827 --> 0:24:45,707
Cam Iwasa: make that same mistake again and then you
731
0:24:45,727 --> 0:24:46,310
Cam Iwasa: waste your time.
732
0:24:46,705 --> 0:24:48,327
Cam Iwasa: That's when it was a loss, because you're
733
0:24:48,367 --> 0:24:50,625
Cam Iwasa: not figuring out what to do differently in
734
0:24:50,645 --> 0:24:52,192
Cam Iwasa: order to be successful with the next one.
735
0:24:53,167 --> 0:24:55,494
Mark Haney: Yeah, brock Purdy, makes the rest of the
736
0:24:55,534 --> 0:24:56,216
Mark Haney: team better.
737
0:24:56,256 --> 0:24:58,632
Mark Haney: Right, you've got great weapons and you
738
0:24:58,652 --> 0:25:01,331
Mark Haney: mentioned them, and the Niners are loaded
739
0:25:01,371 --> 0:25:03,368
Mark Haney: with that offensively and defensively.
740
0:25:03,488 --> 0:25:06,588
Mark Haney: But thinking about that making other
741
0:25:07,411 --> 0:25:10,407
Mark Haney: members of your team better there are some
742
0:25:10,507 --> 0:25:14,969
Mark Haney: people that just have that knack and I have
743
0:25:14,989 --> 0:25:18,518
Mark Haney: to imagine you saw that in your career as
744
0:25:18,638 --> 0:25:18,919
Mark Haney: well.
745
0:25:19,626 --> 0:25:21,292
Mark Haney: What are kind of the things that we should
746
0:25:21,312 --> 0:25:23,008
Mark Haney: be thinking about, maybe as younger
747
0:25:23,148 --> 0:25:26,186
Mark Haney: athletes or parts of a team that might be
748
0:25:26,246 --> 0:25:28,693
Mark Haney: in business, around making other people
749
0:25:28,954 --> 0:25:32,152
Mark Haney: better and showing some of that
750
0:25:32,233 --> 0:25:33,035
Mark Haney: unselfishness?
751
0:25:33,145 --> 0:25:35,433
Mark Haney: But I mean thoughts around making the rest
752
0:25:35,453 --> 0:25:37,349
Mark Haney: of your team better, because ultimately,
753
0:25:37,429 --> 0:25:40,309
Mark Haney: the goal is to win win the championship or
754
0:25:40,730 --> 0:25:42,635
Mark Haney: build the successful business.
755
0:25:43,605 --> 0:25:45,111
Cam Iwasa: Yeah, the best teams I've ever been a part
756
0:25:45,212 --> 0:25:47,532
Cam Iwasa: of were always greater than the sum of its
757
0:25:47,592 --> 0:25:47,913
Cam Iwasa: parts.
758
0:25:48,665 --> 0:25:49,568
Cam Iwasa: You have a lot of time.
759
0:25:49,869 --> 0:25:52,969
Cam Iwasa: To be a good team in whatever sport or a
760
0:25:53,069 --> 0:25:55,215
Cam Iwasa: good team in whatever industry, you need
761
0:25:55,295 --> 0:25:55,696
Cam Iwasa: talent.
762
0:25:56,166 --> 0:25:58,353
Cam Iwasa: You're not gonna scrape together the bottom
763
0:25:58,373 --> 0:26:00,050
Cam Iwasa: of the barrel and then finish as the best
764
0:26:00,090 --> 0:26:00,612
Cam Iwasa: team in the league.
765
0:26:00,645 --> 0:26:01,489
Cam Iwasa: It's just unrealistic.
766
0:26:01,865 --> 0:26:05,288
Cam Iwasa: So you do need legitimate talent, but to be
767
0:26:05,329 --> 0:26:07,709
Cam Iwasa: a really truly great team, you need that
768
0:26:07,769 --> 0:26:10,346
Cam Iwasa: talent to also be working together in the
769
0:26:10,386 --> 0:26:12,773
Cam Iwasa: type of way that everything just runs
770
0:26:12,854 --> 0:26:13,255
Cam Iwasa: smoothly.
771
0:26:13,425 --> 0:26:15,592
Cam Iwasa: And so if you might have the two best
772
0:26:15,612 --> 0:26:17,207
Cam Iwasa: players in the league, but if they're
773
0:26:17,227 --> 0:26:19,106
Cam Iwasa: clashing and they don't get along and
774
0:26:19,126 --> 0:26:20,347
Cam Iwasa: they're not playing to get especially in a
775
0:26:20,367 --> 0:26:22,249
Cam Iwasa: sport like soccer, where everything is so
776
0:26:22,349 --> 0:26:24,991
Cam Iwasa: fluid, if you have two guys that are great
777
0:26:25,031 --> 0:26:26,590
Cam Iwasa: players that don't get along, it's not
778
0:26:26,610 --> 0:26:27,032
Cam Iwasa: gonna work.
779
0:26:27,385 --> 0:26:29,612
Cam Iwasa: And so you'd be better off having two guys
780
0:26:30,605 --> 0:26:33,028
Cam Iwasa: that are maybe a step below, that truly
781
0:26:33,068 --> 0:26:35,046
Cam Iwasa: have good chemistry and get along, because
782
0:26:35,066 --> 0:26:36,186
Cam Iwasa: that's what's gonna put out the best
783
0:26:36,226 --> 0:26:37,588
Cam Iwasa: product on the field, and not only that,
784
0:26:37,608 --> 0:26:39,309
Cam Iwasa: but it's gonna bring the as you mentioned
785
0:26:39,329 --> 0:26:39,630
Cam Iwasa: with Perti.
786
0:26:39,685 --> 0:26:41,091
Cam Iwasa: It brings the rest of the team along with
787
0:26:41,131 --> 0:26:44,705
Cam Iwasa: them, and I think for any sport, the
788
0:26:44,866 --> 0:26:47,293
Cam Iwasa: biggest thing is when you have your best
789
0:26:47,374 --> 0:26:51,546
Cam Iwasa: player, who is a super unselfish guy that's
790
0:26:51,566 --> 0:26:52,791
Cam Iwasa: willing to sacrifice for the team.
791
0:26:52,865 --> 0:26:53,889
Cam Iwasa: I think about it a lot with.
792
0:26:55,107 --> 0:26:56,558
Cam Iwasa: If you can't tell, I'm a big sports fan.
793
0:26:56,598 --> 0:26:58,670
Mark Haney: I watch you know a lot of yeah well, yeah
794
0:26:58,690 --> 0:26:58,951
Mark Haney: me too.
795
0:26:59,265 --> 0:27:00,811
Cam Iwasa: But I think about it a lot with basketball
796
0:27:00,851 --> 0:27:02,990
Cam Iwasa: in particular and you have certain guys
797
0:27:03,030 --> 0:27:05,411
Cam Iwasa: that, yes, they are great, great players,
798
0:27:05,545 --> 0:27:07,031
Cam Iwasa: but the way that they kind of carry
799
0:27:07,071 --> 0:27:08,529
Cam Iwasa: themselves and go about their business
800
0:27:08,985 --> 0:27:11,113
Cam Iwasa: makes them an even better teammate.
801
0:27:11,265 --> 0:27:12,912
Cam Iwasa: And I think the guy in the last decade
802
0:27:12,945 --> 0:27:14,466
Cam Iwasa: that's really, really shown that is a guy
803
0:27:14,486 --> 0:27:18,009
Cam Iwasa: like Steph Curry who is clearly one of the
804
0:27:18,049 --> 0:27:19,171
Cam Iwasa: best basketball players we've ever seen.
805
0:27:19,191 --> 0:27:20,012
Mark Haney: He's on the Warriors, isn't he?
806
0:27:20,192 --> 0:27:22,096
Mark Haney: I know, are you a Warriors fan?
807
0:27:22,116 --> 0:27:23,117
Mark Haney: No, I'm not Okay, but.
808
0:27:23,358 --> 0:27:26,713
Mark Haney: I die hard, but yeah, that guy's special.
809
0:27:26,805 --> 0:27:28,607
Cam Iwasa: Like you can't deny the fact, and I've
810
0:27:28,627 --> 0:27:30,968
Cam Iwasa: spent my fair share of time hating Steph
811
0:27:30,988 --> 0:27:33,886
Cam Iwasa: Curry because, of the Warriors it's.
812
0:27:34,589 --> 0:27:37,668
Cam Iwasa: We can get into that at another time, but I
813
0:27:37,709 --> 0:27:39,474
Cam Iwasa: can't help but be extremely impressed by
814
0:27:39,494 --> 0:27:40,790
Cam Iwasa: him and the way he's carried himself,
815
0:27:40,945 --> 0:27:43,914
Cam Iwasa: especially with the KD Saga and all this
816
0:27:43,974 --> 0:27:44,235
Cam Iwasa: stuff.
817
0:27:44,565 --> 0:27:46,072
Cam Iwasa: And then bringing in a guy like Chris Paul
818
0:27:46,125 --> 0:27:48,392
Cam Iwasa: who, yes, is at the end of his career
819
0:27:48,573 --> 0:27:50,771
Cam Iwasa: probably, but a guy that he kind of feuded
820
0:27:50,811 --> 0:27:53,066
Cam Iwasa: with 10 years ago or whatever, when those
821
0:27:53,106 --> 0:27:55,474
Cam Iwasa: Clippers Warriors games were pretty heated.
822
0:27:55,865 --> 0:27:58,153
Cam Iwasa: But Steph has just always been doing
823
0:27:58,173 --> 0:27:59,509
Cam Iwasa: whatever is in the best interest of the
824
0:27:59,549 --> 0:28:02,132
Cam Iwasa: team, even if it sacrifices his numbers a
825
0:28:02,172 --> 0:28:02,553
Cam Iwasa: little bit.
826
0:28:02,965 --> 0:28:04,912
Cam Iwasa: And he might've missed out on some all NBA
827
0:28:05,052 --> 0:28:06,889
Cam Iwasa: first teams and things like that because he
828
0:28:06,909 --> 0:28:10,172
Cam Iwasa: was playing next to KD and different things.
829
0:28:10,285 --> 0:28:12,533
Cam Iwasa: But I think for him, ultimately, all he
830
0:28:12,593 --> 0:28:14,029
Cam Iwasa: wanted to do was win and he was truly
831
0:28:14,069 --> 0:28:15,647
Cam Iwasa: willing to sacrifice things in order to do
832
0:28:15,707 --> 0:28:15,828
Cam Iwasa: so.
833
0:28:16,325 --> 0:28:17,892
Cam Iwasa: And it's really really impressive to see
834
0:28:17,932 --> 0:28:19,710
Cam Iwasa: somebody at the highest level, with that
835
0:28:19,770 --> 0:28:21,487
Cam Iwasa: much money on the line, that is willing to
836
0:28:21,648 --> 0:28:23,167
Cam Iwasa: swallow his ego a little bit and say, hey,
837
0:28:23,649 --> 0:28:24,886
Cam Iwasa: this is what's best for us to win a
838
0:28:24,906 --> 0:28:25,408
Cam Iwasa: championship.
839
0:28:26,005 --> 0:28:28,673
Cam Iwasa: And obviously it's shown, as he's got four
840
0:28:28,733 --> 0:28:29,134
Cam Iwasa: rings now.
841
0:28:29,294 --> 0:28:31,846
Mark Haney: Yeah, and the Kings, I mean, as long as
842
0:28:31,866 --> 0:28:33,031
Mark Haney: we're talking a little bit of basketball,
843
0:28:33,051 --> 0:28:33,713
Mark Haney: this is a fun show.
844
0:28:33,925 --> 0:28:35,049
Mark Haney: I haven't really just got it on a talk
845
0:28:35,069 --> 0:28:37,349
Mark Haney: sports, I don't think in a while.
846
0:28:37,925 --> 0:28:39,950
Mark Haney: But the Kings I mean you think about
847
0:28:40,011 --> 0:28:40,452
Mark Haney: leadership.
848
0:28:40,472 --> 0:28:41,374
Mark Haney: Are you building a team?
849
0:28:41,394 --> 0:28:42,317
Mark Haney: You need the right leadership.
850
0:28:42,405 --> 0:28:43,951
Mark Haney: The Kings obviously changed out some of
851
0:28:43,991 --> 0:28:45,789
Mark Haney: their leadership, bringing in new coaching
852
0:28:45,829 --> 0:28:48,866
Mark Haney: and so on, and some of those players they
853
0:28:48,926 --> 0:28:50,271
Mark Haney: have some of those players, I think,
854
0:28:50,471 --> 0:28:51,094
Mark Haney: emerging.
855
0:28:51,185 --> 0:28:53,647
Mark Haney: I think, like the Aaron Fox is, I think, an
856
0:28:54,028 --> 0:28:56,816
Mark Haney: emerging superstar, along with Subbonus,
857
0:28:57,727 --> 0:29:00,536
Mark Haney: and they I think they're on the upswing.
858
0:29:00,947 --> 0:29:02,425
Mark Haney: I guess I'm gonna make a prediction that I
859
0:29:02,445 --> 0:29:04,031
Mark Haney: don't know that they'll win more games next
860
0:29:04,131 --> 0:29:05,566
Mark Haney: year than they won this year, but I think
861
0:29:05,586 --> 0:29:07,247
Mark Haney: they'll at least advance to the next round
862
0:29:07,267 --> 0:29:07,790
Mark Haney: of the playoffs.
863
0:29:08,185 --> 0:29:09,450
Cam Iwasa: Yeah, last year was the most fun I've had
864
0:29:09,490 --> 0:29:12,432
Cam Iwasa: watching basketball in my life, because the
865
0:29:12,472 --> 0:29:13,866
Cam Iwasa: last time the Kings were good, I think I
866
0:29:13,906 --> 0:29:16,770
Cam Iwasa: was in like third grade and so I wasn't
867
0:29:16,790 --> 0:29:18,215
Cam Iwasa: really old enough to appreciate it.
868
0:29:18,325 --> 0:29:19,911
Cam Iwasa: I thought the Kings were just gonna be
869
0:29:19,991 --> 0:29:21,427
Cam Iwasa: always in the playoffs and in the Western
870
0:29:21,447 --> 0:29:22,792
Cam Iwasa: Conference Finals against the Lakers.
871
0:29:22,885 --> 0:29:25,485
Cam Iwasa: That's just what I assumed life was, and
872
0:29:25,546 --> 0:29:28,234
Cam Iwasa: clearly that has not been the case, clearly
873
0:29:28,374 --> 0:29:28,695
Cam Iwasa: not.
874
0:29:28,845 --> 0:29:30,371
Mark Haney: We had a little bit of a drought.
875
0:29:31,025 --> 0:29:32,812
Mark Haney: This is to talk about setbacks, right.
876
0:29:33,325 --> 0:29:35,151
Cam Iwasa: But you know, I think De'Aaron Fox is a
877
0:29:35,212 --> 0:29:37,251
Cam Iwasa: great example of what we just spoke about
878
0:29:37,325 --> 0:29:39,032
Cam Iwasa: as far as sacrificing for the greater good.
879
0:29:39,405 --> 0:29:42,052
Cam Iwasa: This is a guy who was averaging 20 plus
880
0:29:42,113 --> 0:29:45,430
Cam Iwasa: points every year and was a guy that always
881
0:29:45,451 --> 0:29:47,908
Cam Iwasa: was very ball dominant, as since he's been
882
0:29:47,928 --> 0:29:48,992
Cam Iwasa: in the league pretty much.
883
0:29:49,505 --> 0:29:50,991
Cam Iwasa: And then the team goes out and brings in
884
0:29:51,031 --> 0:29:52,989
Cam Iwasa: Subbonus and they say, hey, we actually
885
0:29:53,009 --> 0:29:54,629
Cam Iwasa: want the offense to run through him for the
886
0:29:54,649 --> 0:29:58,014
Cam Iwasa: most part, and Fox not only didn't complain
887
0:29:58,054 --> 0:30:00,071
Cam Iwasa: about it, but seems like he welcomed it
888
0:30:00,111 --> 0:30:03,031
Cam Iwasa: with open arms and then decided to play his
889
0:30:03,131 --> 0:30:04,295
Cam Iwasa: role within that system.
890
0:30:04,945 --> 0:30:06,912
Cam Iwasa: And then obviously, as we saw last year, at
891
0:30:06,932 --> 0:30:08,548
Cam Iwasa: the end of games it's like, okay, now it's
892
0:30:08,569 --> 0:30:09,512
Cam Iwasa: your time to take over.
893
0:30:09,685 --> 0:30:11,853
Cam Iwasa: But he had the best year of his career
894
0:30:12,045 --> 0:30:13,967
Cam Iwasa: playing within a system, sacrificing
895
0:30:14,087 --> 0:30:17,335
Cam Iwasa: largely 75% of the game.
896
0:30:17,556 --> 0:30:19,268
Cam Iwasa: He would sacrifice and defer a little bit
897
0:30:19,288 --> 0:30:21,309
Cam Iwasa: to let Subbonus, the offense run through
898
0:30:21,329 --> 0:30:22,950
Cam Iwasa: him, and then he could take over when it
899
0:30:22,970 --> 0:30:24,589
Cam Iwasa: was time to take over Fox can get to the
900
0:30:24,629 --> 0:30:24,930
Cam Iwasa: bucket.
901
0:30:25,225 --> 0:30:27,073
Mark Haney: I mean almost on anybody.
902
0:30:27,145 --> 0:30:29,486
Cam Iwasa: But that sort of sacrifice in order, again
903
0:30:29,526 --> 0:30:32,445
Cam Iwasa: for the greater good of the team created in
904
0:30:32,485 --> 0:30:35,088
Cam Iwasa: my opinion I'm a little biased the most fun
905
0:30:35,108 --> 0:30:37,770
Cam Iwasa: team to watch in the NBA, and people all
906
0:30:37,830 --> 0:30:39,268
Cam Iwasa: over the nation were saying that, so I
907
0:30:39,288 --> 0:30:40,525
Cam Iwasa: don't feel like that's too much of a bias.
908
0:30:40,525 --> 0:30:41,007
Mark Haney: Yeah, they were.
909
0:30:41,208 --> 0:30:42,766
Mark Haney: I mean running and guiding them, they were.
910
0:30:42,907 --> 0:30:43,530
Mark Haney: They're amazing.
911
0:30:43,625 --> 0:30:45,365
Cam Iwasa: Statistically, they had the best offense in
912
0:30:45,385 --> 0:30:47,146
Cam Iwasa: the history of the league last year, and so
913
0:30:47,247 --> 0:30:49,887
Cam Iwasa: it was truly amazing to watch and just, I
914
0:30:49,927 --> 0:30:51,933
Cam Iwasa: think, for Sacramento fans like myself and
915
0:30:52,295 --> 0:30:54,511
Cam Iwasa: you and everyone else in this city that
916
0:30:54,532 --> 0:30:57,531
Cam Iwasa: were so starved for a good basketball
917
0:30:57,551 --> 0:30:59,225
Cam Iwasa: product to watch night in and night out, it
918
0:30:59,266 --> 0:31:00,932
Cam Iwasa: was really, really funny.
919
0:31:01,186 --> 0:31:02,792
Cam Iwasa: It was appointment television for me.
920
0:31:03,125 --> 0:31:06,515
Mark Haney: Yeah, it's interesting how we in Sacramento
921
0:31:06,925 --> 0:31:09,975
Mark Haney: rally around our beloved basketball team,
922
0:31:10,125 --> 0:31:11,565
Mark Haney: our beloved soccer team, right, the
923
0:31:11,586 --> 0:31:12,550
Mark Haney: Republic and the Kings.
924
0:31:12,905 --> 0:31:15,713
Mark Haney: We really have this and even like Uriah's
925
0:31:16,254 --> 0:31:17,807
Mark Haney: team, alpha Male, we are.
926
0:31:18,148 --> 0:31:23,127
Mark Haney: You know, in MMA we root for the local and
927
0:31:23,368 --> 0:31:24,653
Mark Haney: that's one of the things that we're doing
928
0:31:24,713 --> 0:31:24,853
Mark Haney: here.
929
0:31:25,025 --> 0:31:26,366
Mark Haney: We haven't really talked about this, but
930
0:31:26,406 --> 0:31:27,712
Mark Haney: we're working on building something called
931
0:31:27,725 --> 0:31:29,652
Mark Haney: the Backyard Advantage, the most connected
932
0:31:29,692 --> 0:31:31,611
Mark Haney: community in the world for local
933
0:31:31,711 --> 0:31:32,193
Mark Haney: entrepreneurs.
934
0:31:32,305 --> 0:31:36,577
Mark Haney: So we have invested into a lot of companies
935
0:31:36,705 --> 0:31:38,271
Mark Haney: through the growth factory and through the
936
0:31:38,311 --> 0:31:39,748
Mark Haney: other organizations I'm involved with.
937
0:31:40,205 --> 0:31:41,992
Mark Haney: But what we're doing is we're rallying
938
0:31:42,125 --> 0:31:43,872
Mark Haney: almost like our own fan base, our own
939
0:31:44,012 --> 0:31:46,633
Mark Haney: people that live it along with us.
940
0:31:46,745 --> 0:31:48,611
Mark Haney: That's the Backyard Advantage is this tribe
941
0:31:48,671 --> 0:31:50,828
Mark Haney: of savages that get it.
942
0:31:51,129 --> 0:31:53,145
Mark Haney: They love Sacramento, but they also
943
0:31:53,185 --> 0:31:54,767
Mark Haney: understand the power of entrepreneurship.
944
0:31:55,445 --> 0:31:58,214
Mark Haney: And we're rallying almost like the people
945
0:31:58,255 --> 0:32:00,112
Mark Haney: that are ringing the cowbell at a King's
946
0:32:00,152 --> 0:32:02,299
Mark Haney: game, rooting for the local entrepreneur,
947
0:32:02,410 --> 0:32:05,132
Mark Haney: the local small business people, and it's
948
0:32:05,213 --> 0:32:07,319
Mark Haney: actually coming together in a really cool
949
0:32:07,379 --> 0:32:07,580
Mark Haney: way.
950
0:32:07,931 --> 0:32:09,737
Mark Haney: And I often think about the Sacramento
951
0:32:09,817 --> 0:32:13,554
Mark Haney: Kings and especially in their heyday, when
952
0:32:13,614 --> 0:32:15,953
Mark Haney: I had nosebleed seats, and then when they
953
0:32:15,994 --> 0:32:18,172
Mark Haney: were good, when you were a kid and now
954
0:32:18,212 --> 0:32:20,297
Mark Haney: coming back, the fan support is
955
0:32:20,398 --> 0:32:21,280
Mark Haney: unbelievable here.
956
0:32:22,130 --> 0:32:24,151
Cam Iwasa: When I was walking into the studio I walked
957
0:32:24,192 --> 0:32:25,637
Cam Iwasa: past the thing and I had a little tagline
958
0:32:25,730 --> 0:32:27,910
Cam Iwasa: that said unapologetically local and I
959
0:32:28,091 --> 0:32:29,938
Cam Iwasa: commented to the lady that was leading me.
960
0:32:30,131 --> 0:32:32,636
Cam Iwasa: I said I really like that and exactly what
961
0:32:32,676 --> 0:32:33,118
Cam Iwasa: you just said.
962
0:32:33,210 --> 0:32:34,710
Cam Iwasa: I think from a business standpoint that's
963
0:32:34,851 --> 0:32:37,872
Cam Iwasa: extremely smart because Sacramento is so
964
0:32:37,972 --> 0:32:39,818
Cam Iwasa: proud of what is theirs.
965
0:32:40,910 --> 0:32:42,476
Cam Iwasa: I think you see it like you said, with the
966
0:32:42,496 --> 0:32:44,334
Cam Iwasa: Kings, with the Republic, having things
967
0:32:44,374 --> 0:32:48,015
Cam Iwasa: that truly belong to Sacramento I think is
968
0:32:48,095 --> 0:32:51,195
Cam Iwasa: so, so important the giants and the A's and
969
0:32:51,215 --> 0:32:52,620
Cam Iwasa: the Niners and the Raiders.
970
0:32:53,090 --> 0:32:54,295
Cam Iwasa: There's a lot of people that are really
971
0:32:54,335 --> 0:32:55,755
Cam Iwasa: passionate about all of those teams.
972
0:32:56,110 --> 0:32:57,877
Cam Iwasa: But I think the love that you see for the
973
0:32:57,937 --> 0:32:59,835
Cam Iwasa: Kings and for the Republic is on a
974
0:32:59,875 --> 0:33:01,572
Cam Iwasa: completely different level because it is
975
0:33:01,673 --> 0:33:03,379
Cam Iwasa: truly Sacramento's own.
976
0:33:03,510 --> 0:33:05,137
Cam Iwasa: And I think the same thing with business.
977
0:33:05,250 --> 0:33:08,199
Cam Iwasa: I think people are really really quick to
978
0:33:08,239 --> 0:33:11,197
Cam Iwasa: support Sacramento locally started and
979
0:33:11,257 --> 0:33:14,396
Cam Iwasa: grown businesses because of it really has a
980
0:33:14,476 --> 0:33:16,971
Cam Iwasa: small town feel for a city that is just
981
0:33:17,072 --> 0:33:19,820
Cam Iwasa: exploding and getting so much bigger every
982
0:33:19,880 --> 0:33:20,020
Cam Iwasa: year.
983
0:33:20,490 --> 0:33:24,091
Cam Iwasa: So again, unapologetically local, I think
984
0:33:24,131 --> 0:33:26,038
Cam Iwasa: was incredibly sharp and I really really
985
0:33:26,078 --> 0:33:26,359
Cam Iwasa: liked it.
986
0:33:26,510 --> 0:33:28,171
Mark Haney: Well, I appreciate you saying that, because
987
0:33:28,251 --> 0:33:30,279
Mark Haney: now we're starting to get some traction.
988
0:33:30,370 --> 0:33:32,117
Mark Haney: When I first started the show, I used to
989
0:33:32,177 --> 0:33:33,935
Mark Haney: say I'm on a mission to ignite the
990
0:33:33,995 --> 0:33:36,153
Mark Haney: entrepreneur revolution right here in the
991
0:33:36,213 --> 0:33:36,675
Mark Haney: hometown.
992
0:33:36,735 --> 0:33:39,651
Mark Haney: I love because I grew up here as well, and
993
0:33:40,514 --> 0:33:44,992
Mark Haney: people that are in the media industry think
994
0:33:45,132 --> 0:33:49,984
Mark Haney: that if you start a podcast or a show of
995
0:33:50,044 --> 0:33:51,754
Mark Haney: some sort that you should be thinking
996
0:33:51,814 --> 0:33:53,213
Mark Haney: national, you should be thinking about
997
0:33:53,253 --> 0:33:55,916
Mark Haney: boiling the ocean, and since I grew up here,
998
0:33:55,956 --> 0:33:58,156
Mark Haney: I really I personally care about my
999
0:33:58,196 --> 0:34:00,334
Mark Haney: hometown, maybe more I care about
1000
0:34:00,374 --> 0:34:01,730
Mark Haney: entrepreneurs all over the world, but
1001
0:34:02,393 --> 0:34:04,379
Mark Haney: really I think I can have more of an impact
1002
0:34:04,550 --> 0:34:07,272
Mark Haney: if I play in my smaller sandbox and I
1003
0:34:07,332 --> 0:34:11,462
Mark Haney: really love the idea of knowing the people
1004
0:34:11,670 --> 0:34:13,890
Mark Haney: that I'm investing into and that I'm that
1005
0:34:13,930 --> 0:34:15,891
Mark Haney: are come on my show and so on, versus just
1006
0:34:16,313 --> 0:34:17,818
Mark Haney: creating a group of acquaintances.
1007
0:34:18,170 --> 0:34:20,418
Mark Haney: And so I think we have that with Sacramento
1008
0:34:20,438 --> 0:34:20,539
Mark Haney: too.
1009
0:34:20,610 --> 0:34:22,437
Mark Haney: With Sacramento, we feel like we know the
1010
0:34:22,477 --> 0:34:24,116
Mark Haney: people on the Republic if we're a Republic
1011
0:34:24,136 --> 0:34:25,971
Mark Haney: fan, and same with the Kings, we actually
1012
0:34:26,012 --> 0:34:28,753
Mark Haney: feel like we know them and you actually do
1013
0:34:28,833 --> 0:34:31,951
Mark Haney: know them, which has gotta be again, I know
1014
0:34:31,991 --> 0:34:33,616
Mark Haney: the entrepreneurs, you know the athletes.
1015
0:34:34,830 --> 0:34:36,617
Cam Iwasa: Well, and something that was always really
1016
0:34:36,657 --> 0:34:38,555
Cam Iwasa: really important when I was playing with
1017
0:34:38,575 --> 0:34:40,334
Cam Iwasa: the Republic and I know that Kings are
1018
0:34:40,394 --> 0:34:42,073
Cam Iwasa: really, really it's really important to
1019
0:34:42,093 --> 0:34:43,875
Cam Iwasa: them too is all the community outreach
1020
0:34:43,915 --> 0:34:44,116
Cam Iwasa: stuff.
1021
0:34:44,250 --> 0:34:47,039
Cam Iwasa: The community supports our team so much
1022
0:34:47,490 --> 0:34:50,699
Cam Iwasa: that giving back is it would be really just
1023
0:34:50,820 --> 0:34:52,576
Cam Iwasa: stupid not to you know what I mean.
1024
0:34:52,690 --> 0:34:55,519
Cam Iwasa: I mean people are so, so excited anytime
1025
0:34:55,610 --> 0:34:56,754
Cam Iwasa: that any of the players can show their
1026
0:34:56,795 --> 0:34:58,854
Cam Iwasa: faces in public and it takes such a little
1027
0:34:58,954 --> 0:35:01,875
Cam Iwasa: effort on our part to get people excited
1028
0:35:01,916 --> 0:35:04,916
Cam Iwasa: and do something good that really unites
1029
0:35:04,976 --> 0:35:07,817
Cam Iwasa: people that it would truly be a missed
1030
0:35:07,857 --> 0:35:09,535
Cam Iwasa: opportunity if they weren't doing it.
1031
0:35:12,130 --> 0:35:14,758
Cam Iwasa: There's plenty of people I worked with at
1032
0:35:14,778 --> 0:35:15,260
Cam Iwasa: the Republic.
1033
0:35:15,390 --> 0:35:17,377
Cam Iwasa: Kevin Burdick and Scott Moke were kind of
1034
0:35:17,437 --> 0:35:18,651
Cam Iwasa: in head of our Scott.
1035
0:35:18,691 --> 0:35:20,197
Mark Haney: Moke, who is the PA, scott's awesome.
1036
0:35:20,631 --> 0:35:22,412
Cam Iwasa: Yeah, he works with the Republic as one of
1037
0:35:22,432 --> 0:35:23,677
Cam Iwasa: the heads of the community outreach and
1038
0:35:23,697 --> 0:35:25,617
Cam Iwasa: stuff and so working with those guys for me
1039
0:35:25,750 --> 0:35:28,074
Cam Iwasa: was absolutely a blast and they set up so
1040
0:35:28,094 --> 0:35:29,298
Cam Iwasa: many different things to get out in the
1041
0:35:29,338 --> 0:35:33,060
Cam Iwasa: community and be as unapologetically local
1042
0:35:33,210 --> 0:35:34,776
Cam Iwasa: and just make sure that we are always
1043
0:35:34,917 --> 0:35:36,575
Cam Iwasa: ingrained in the community in doing things,
1044
0:35:36,690 --> 0:35:37,935
Cam Iwasa: and I know that Kings do the same sort of
1045
0:35:37,976 --> 0:35:39,997
Cam Iwasa: thing and I think it makes a huge impact.
1046
0:35:40,190 --> 0:35:42,150
Mark Haney: Yeah, we end up working with the Kings on
1047
0:35:42,170 --> 0:35:43,917
Mark Haney: something called Kings Capitalized.
1048
0:35:44,430 --> 0:35:45,575
Mark Haney: Think about giving back.
1049
0:35:45,870 --> 0:35:48,699
Mark Haney: They have built the most innovative arena,
1050
0:35:49,150 --> 0:35:51,454
Mark Haney: I think, on earth, but they continue to
1051
0:35:51,534 --> 0:35:53,975
Mark Haney: want to innovate, so they get involved in
1052
0:35:54,356 --> 0:35:56,150
Mark Haney: our world, our startup world, our
1053
0:35:56,211 --> 0:36:01,155
Mark Haney: innovative culture that we're building, and
1054
0:36:01,175 --> 0:36:02,398
Mark Haney: they're leading something called Kings
1055
0:36:02,459 --> 0:36:02,980
Mark Haney: Capitalized.
1056
0:36:03,050 --> 0:36:06,091
Mark Haney: We help sort of administer that effort, but
1057
0:36:06,673 --> 0:36:08,110
Mark Haney: they're innovating in food, they're
1058
0:36:08,131 --> 0:36:12,154
Mark Haney: innovating in arena experiences and they
1059
0:36:12,414 --> 0:36:13,639
Mark Haney: continue to want to invest.
1060
0:36:13,770 --> 0:36:15,671
Mark Haney: They're giving back to the community while
1061
0:36:16,092 --> 0:36:20,035
Mark Haney: simultaneously learning how to provide a
1062
0:36:20,075 --> 0:36:21,238
Mark Haney: better fan experience.
1063
0:36:21,930 --> 0:36:23,356
Cam Iwasa: Yeah, the first time I went to Golden One
1064
0:36:23,470 --> 0:36:24,651
Cam Iwasa: and they were like, yeah, by the way, just
1065
0:36:24,791 --> 0:36:26,752
Cam Iwasa: open the app in order from any of these
1066
0:36:26,792 --> 0:36:30,752
Cam Iwasa: 1500 concessions that we have and then you
1067
0:36:31,234 --> 0:36:32,852
Cam Iwasa: can either get it delivered or go pick it
1068
0:36:32,932 --> 0:36:34,077
Cam Iwasa: up, and it's easy peasy.
1069
0:36:34,170 --> 0:36:35,375
Cam Iwasa: And I was like, wow, this is pretty
1070
0:36:35,415 --> 0:36:37,295
Cam Iwasa: incredible, I mean, especially when you put
1071
0:36:37,315 --> 0:36:38,900
Cam Iwasa: the side-by-side to what Arco was.
1072
0:36:39,030 --> 0:36:40,716
Mark Haney: I mean, it was a completely different
1073
0:36:40,756 --> 0:36:41,238
Mark Haney: experience.
1074
0:36:42,393 --> 0:36:43,237
Cam Iwasa: It's yeah.
1075
0:36:43,730 --> 0:36:45,977
Mark Haney: You probably never went to Old Arco, did
1076
0:36:46,017 --> 0:36:46,117
Mark Haney: you?
1077
0:36:46,558 --> 0:36:47,341
Mark Haney: Was that before your time?
1078
0:36:47,691 --> 0:36:49,738
Mark Haney: There's Old Arco, and then there's Arco,
1079
0:36:50,510 --> 0:36:51,776
Mark Haney: and then now there's Golden One.
1080
0:36:51,890 --> 0:36:53,035
Mark Haney: I guess I've never went to Old Arco.
1081
0:36:53,310 --> 0:36:55,898
Cam Iwasa: No, I only went to what turned into.
1082
0:36:55,938 --> 0:36:56,179
Mark Haney: Sleep.
1083
0:36:56,279 --> 0:36:58,555
Cam Iwasa: Train and Power Balance and whatever
1084
0:36:59,277 --> 0:37:00,340
Cam Iwasa: various names it had.
1085
0:37:01,090 --> 0:37:03,057
Mark Haney: Old Arco wasn't as good as New Arco either.
1086
0:37:03,650 --> 0:37:04,474
Mark Haney: I can only imagine.
1087
0:37:05,350 --> 0:37:07,879
Cam Iwasa: But yeah, I mean in the new stadium.
1088
0:37:07,970 --> 0:37:10,118
Cam Iwasa: It's all part of, like I said, sacramento.
1089
0:37:10,210 --> 0:37:12,570
Cam Iwasa: It still has the people in Sacramento, I
1090
0:37:12,590 --> 0:37:14,316
Cam Iwasa: think, still have very much of a small town
1091
0:37:14,357 --> 0:37:17,458
Cam Iwasa: vibe, but the city itself is far from it at
1092
0:37:17,498 --> 0:37:20,076
Cam Iwasa: this point and the downtown area just on
1093
0:37:20,117 --> 0:37:20,478
Cam Iwasa: its own.
1094
0:37:21,030 --> 0:37:22,837
Cam Iwasa: From when I was a kid to what it is now,
1095
0:37:23,010 --> 0:37:27,097
Cam Iwasa: it's completely been revolutionized and
1096
0:37:27,177 --> 0:37:29,073
Cam Iwasa: it's night and day really what the downtown
1097
0:37:29,093 --> 0:37:29,495
Cam Iwasa: scene is.
1098
0:37:29,930 --> 0:37:30,652
Mark Haney: Yeah, okay.
1099
0:37:30,672 --> 0:37:33,250
Mark Haney: Well, let's use that as our pivot point to
1100
0:37:33,290 --> 0:37:36,118
Mark Haney: talk about real estate and the Sacramento
1101
0:37:36,318 --> 0:37:36,840
Mark Haney: economy.
1102
0:37:37,550 --> 0:37:40,213
Mark Haney: I know you're new to the game but we are to
1103
0:37:40,734 --> 0:37:42,239
Mark Haney: the real estate business.
1104
0:37:42,890 --> 0:37:44,757
Mark Haney: But you've seen the transformation in
1105
0:37:44,777 --> 0:37:45,158
Mark Haney: downtown.
1106
0:37:45,330 --> 0:37:47,978
Mark Haney: I think when Golden One went in made a big
1107
0:37:48,058 --> 0:37:48,459
Mark Haney: change.
1108
0:37:49,310 --> 0:37:52,454
Mark Haney: Sadly, when COVID hit, we experienced more
1109
0:37:52,635 --> 0:37:56,495
Mark Haney: challenges in the downtown and with being
1110
0:37:56,555 --> 0:37:58,640
Mark Haney: forced to close our restaurants and
1111
0:37:58,660 --> 0:37:59,442
Mark Haney: different businesses.
1112
0:37:59,650 --> 0:38:02,218
Mark Haney: And then now, with the people wanting to
1113
0:38:02,278 --> 0:38:04,932
Mark Haney: work remote and working remote it can be.
1114
0:38:05,534 --> 0:38:08,854
Mark Haney: It can feel a little quieter down there at
1115
0:38:08,874 --> 0:38:10,419
Mark Haney: a lot of times, unless there's a Kings game
1116
0:38:10,459 --> 0:38:12,536
Mark Haney: going on, it can feel a little quieter in
1117
0:38:12,556 --> 0:38:13,972
Mark Haney: the downtown area because people are
1118
0:38:14,534 --> 0:38:15,377
Mark Haney: working remotely.
1119
0:38:15,690 --> 0:38:18,477
Mark Haney: But what are you seeing in terms of
1120
0:38:18,678 --> 0:38:21,052
Mark Haney: commercial real estate in?
1121
0:38:21,092 --> 0:38:23,491
Mark Haney: Let's break it up by, maybe geography, but
1122
0:38:23,591 --> 0:38:25,177
Mark Haney: also by different sectors.
1123
0:38:25,730 --> 0:38:30,290
Mark Haney: We got office, industrial, multi-family, I
1124
0:38:30,310 --> 0:38:31,736
Mark Haney: suppose, all in the commercial realm.
1125
0:38:32,590 --> 0:38:34,696
Mark Haney: But let's break it down in, maybe the heart
1126
0:38:34,736 --> 0:38:35,479
Mark Haney: of Sacramento.
1127
0:38:36,651 --> 0:38:38,771
Mark Haney: What are you seeing in those areas in the
1128
0:38:38,791 --> 0:38:39,594
Mark Haney: heart of Sacramento?
1129
0:38:40,130 --> 0:38:41,797
Cam Iwasa: Well, I think Sacramento's unique
1130
0:38:42,010 --> 0:38:44,297
Cam Iwasa: especially if you compare it to like San
1131
0:38:44,337 --> 0:38:46,092
Cam Iwasa: Francisco or something like that, because
1132
0:38:46,112 --> 0:38:47,853
Cam Iwasa: of the capital and all of the government
1133
0:38:47,894 --> 0:38:48,596
Cam Iwasa: buildings that are there.
1134
0:38:48,990 --> 0:38:50,430
Cam Iwasa: Now, whether or not the government is
1135
0:38:50,490 --> 0:38:52,211
Cam Iwasa: actually gonna have their employees come
1136
0:38:52,231 --> 0:38:54,097
Cam Iwasa: back to work in person is a whole other
1137
0:38:54,218 --> 0:38:54,458
Cam Iwasa: issue.
1138
0:38:55,091 --> 0:38:57,772
Cam Iwasa: I would bet on them eventually at least
1139
0:38:57,792 --> 0:38:59,714
Cam Iwasa: having to go in maybe three days a week or
1140
0:38:59,734 --> 0:39:00,296
Cam Iwasa: something like that.
1141
0:39:00,670 --> 0:39:02,016
Cam Iwasa: So I think there's always gonna be a need
1142
0:39:02,110 --> 0:39:03,095
Cam Iwasa: for all of that office space.
1143
0:39:03,190 --> 0:39:05,737
Cam Iwasa: Right now, as you said, it seems really
1144
0:39:05,877 --> 0:39:08,874
Cam Iwasa: barren at times, depending on the time of
1145
0:39:08,914 --> 0:39:11,314
Cam Iwasa: year especially, but I think eventually
1146
0:39:11,354 --> 0:39:13,151
Cam Iwasa: that's gonna start coming back because
1147
0:39:14,896 --> 0:39:16,120
Cam Iwasa: ultimately I think people are more
1148
0:39:16,160 --> 0:39:17,374
Cam Iwasa: productive if they're in an office.
1149
0:39:17,790 --> 0:39:18,675
Cam Iwasa: I know I certainly am.
1150
0:39:18,850 --> 0:39:23,416
Mark Haney: So on office right now is there more
1151
0:39:23,537 --> 0:39:24,199
Mark Haney: opportunity?
1152
0:39:24,310 --> 0:39:26,478
Mark Haney: Because if we're depressed at some level
1153
0:39:26,610 --> 0:39:28,717
Mark Haney: because not just in Sacramento, the heart
1154
0:39:28,737 --> 0:39:32,257
Mark Haney: of Sacramento office is probably weaker
1155
0:39:32,738 --> 0:39:35,373
Mark Haney: across the entire region and for sure in
1156
0:39:35,413 --> 0:39:39,110
Mark Haney: San Francisco and across the globe, I
1157
0:39:39,130 --> 0:39:41,050
Mark Haney: suppose, because everybody got the idea to
1158
0:39:41,090 --> 0:39:43,158
Mark Haney: work remotely and so office has suffered.
1159
0:39:43,230 --> 0:39:45,779
Mark Haney: But does that mean it's an opportunity?
1160
0:39:46,272 --> 0:39:47,136
Mark Haney: And why Sacramento?
1161
0:39:47,210 --> 0:39:50,691
Mark Haney: Is Sacramento a good opportunity if you're
1162
0:39:50,711 --> 0:39:52,417
Mark Haney: a real estate investor now?
1163
0:39:52,950 --> 0:39:54,616
Cam Iwasa: I think offices certainly have been the
1164
0:39:54,656 --> 0:39:58,118
Cam Iwasa: most depressed since the pandemic, for
1165
0:39:58,138 --> 0:39:58,900
Cam Iwasa: exactly that point.
1166
0:39:58,970 --> 0:40:01,840
Cam Iwasa: A lot of people realize people are almost
1167
0:40:01,930 --> 0:40:03,491
Cam Iwasa: as productive working at home and then you
1168
0:40:03,512 --> 0:40:04,871
Cam Iwasa: can cut the overhead cost of having the
1169
0:40:04,951 --> 0:40:06,536
Cam Iwasa: office, especially for bigger companies.
1170
0:40:07,990 --> 0:40:09,396
Cam Iwasa: But I think it just depends on how you look
1171
0:40:09,496 --> 0:40:09,677
Cam Iwasa: at it.
1172
0:40:09,830 --> 0:40:12,559
Cam Iwasa: I mean, if an investor is willing to maybe
1173
0:40:12,659 --> 0:40:14,294
Cam Iwasa: sit on it for a couple of years before
1174
0:40:14,395 --> 0:40:16,012
Cam Iwasa: things start to come back, I think it could
1175
0:40:16,032 --> 0:40:16,775
Cam Iwasa: be a good investment.
1176
0:40:17,270 --> 0:40:19,618
Cam Iwasa: But the reality is most people are looking
1177
0:40:19,638 --> 0:40:20,532
Cam Iwasa: for something that's gonna hit.
1178
0:40:20,572 --> 0:40:21,014
Cam Iwasa: Right now.
1179
0:40:21,470 --> 0:40:23,437
Cam Iwasa: I don't think office is going to be that.
1180
0:40:23,870 --> 0:40:26,078
Cam Iwasa: But you could also invest in an office
1181
0:40:26,098 --> 0:40:28,556
Cam Iwasa: building and repurpose it in different ways
1182
0:40:28,636 --> 0:40:31,975
Cam Iwasa: to create, maybe turn an office building
1183
0:40:32,015 --> 0:40:33,620
Cam Iwasa: into more housing or something.
1184
0:40:33,710 --> 0:40:35,471
Cam Iwasa: I know there's certain investors that are
1185
0:40:35,491 --> 0:40:36,575
Cam Iwasa: looking to do things like that.
1186
0:40:37,810 --> 0:40:40,312
Cam Iwasa: It just really depends on, I guess, what
1187
0:40:40,352 --> 0:40:42,118
Cam Iwasa: the ultimate vision is for an investor.
1188
0:40:43,570 --> 0:40:46,750
Cam Iwasa: But real estate in general in Sacramento is
1189
0:40:47,432 --> 0:40:50,380
Cam Iwasa: actually pretty hot because of how many
1190
0:40:50,460 --> 0:40:53,457
Cam Iwasa: people are leaving the Bay Area and coming
1191
0:40:53,498 --> 0:40:53,959
Cam Iwasa: this way.
1192
0:40:55,394 --> 0:40:58,331
Cam Iwasa: So I know residential real estate there's
1193
0:40:58,532 --> 0:40:59,797
Cam Iwasa: just not enough.
1194
0:41:01,970 --> 0:41:04,719
Cam Iwasa: There's not enough product for people to
1195
0:41:04,779 --> 0:41:05,040
Cam Iwasa: sell.
1196
0:41:05,110 --> 0:41:06,295
Cam Iwasa: I think there's a lot more people in the
1197
0:41:06,335 --> 0:41:07,834
Cam Iwasa: Sacramento area that are looking to buy
1198
0:41:07,894 --> 0:41:09,354
Cam Iwasa: homes and there are people looking to sell
1199
0:41:09,375 --> 0:41:11,955
Cam Iwasa: homes at the moment and for that reason
1200
0:41:12,376 --> 0:41:14,021
Cam Iwasa: it's created the spike.
1201
0:41:14,150 --> 0:41:15,656
Cam Iwasa: And so when you add on what the interest
1202
0:41:15,696 --> 0:41:18,618
Cam Iwasa: rates are, on top of the high prices for
1203
0:41:18,658 --> 0:41:20,456
Cam Iwasa: houses, it's not very affordable for a lot
1204
0:41:20,476 --> 0:41:21,835
Cam Iwasa: of people, especially younger people,
1205
0:41:22,030 --> 0:41:23,917
Cam Iwasa: people in my generation that are maybe
1206
0:41:24,057 --> 0:41:26,470
Cam Iwasa: looking to buy their first home the
1207
0:41:26,490 --> 0:41:28,237
Cam Iwasa: affordability is pretty tough right now.
1208
0:41:28,470 --> 0:41:29,896
Mark Haney: It's gotten a lot more difficult.
1209
0:41:29,970 --> 0:41:32,056
Mark Haney: What used to feel it's still more
1210
0:41:32,076 --> 0:41:33,872
Mark Haney: affordable than the Bay Area, but you come
1211
0:41:33,892 --> 0:41:35,438
Mark Haney: to Sacramento for something more affordable
1212
0:41:35,510 --> 0:41:38,380
Mark Haney: but with interest rates where they're at
1213
0:41:39,132 --> 0:41:40,917
Mark Haney: it's less affordable than it was a year or
1214
0:41:40,958 --> 0:41:41,840
Mark Haney: two, three ago.
1215
0:41:42,110 --> 0:41:45,152
Mark Haney: And so, yeah, we're noticing that, and I
1216
0:41:45,172 --> 0:41:46,891
Mark Haney: think that the higher interest rates are
1217
0:41:47,452 --> 0:41:50,231
Mark Haney: keeping people from maybe speculating on
1218
0:41:50,331 --> 0:41:52,138
Mark Haney: building as many homes as well.
1219
0:41:52,430 --> 0:41:53,937
Mark Haney: My daughter's in real estate.
1220
0:41:54,010 --> 0:41:56,036
Mark Haney: She has a real estate brokerage and
1221
0:41:56,758 --> 0:41:58,833
Mark Haney: residential and there's still just not
1222
0:41:58,873 --> 0:42:01,411
Mark Haney: enough product, as you mentioned, because
1223
0:42:01,451 --> 0:42:02,791
Mark Haney: people don't wanna sell their home because
1224
0:42:02,811 --> 0:42:04,337
Mark Haney: they're sitting on a 3% interest rate.
1225
0:42:04,410 --> 0:42:05,053
Mark Haney: Why would I sell?
1226
0:42:05,530 --> 0:42:07,996
Mark Haney: So they're hanging on, so it's not turning
1227
0:42:08,156 --> 0:42:08,337
Mark Haney: over.
1228
0:42:10,155 --> 0:42:11,700
Mark Haney: And so there's a supply and demand issue
1229
0:42:11,740 --> 0:42:11,840
Mark Haney: too.
1230
0:42:11,950 --> 0:42:13,517
Mark Haney: You still have people that wanna buy
1231
0:42:13,670 --> 0:42:15,818
Mark Haney: because maybe they're a first time home
1232
0:42:15,838 --> 0:42:17,235
Mark Haney: buyer or maybe they're an investor.
1233
0:42:17,330 --> 0:42:18,876
Mark Haney: There's still some of those people out
1234
0:42:18,896 --> 0:42:19,037
Mark Haney: there.
1235
0:42:19,190 --> 0:42:22,280
Mark Haney: But getting a loan is like my pay.
1236
0:42:22,590 --> 0:42:23,854
Mark Haney: I can't sell my house and get a loan.
1237
0:42:23,970 --> 0:42:26,061
Mark Haney: I mean the payment doesn't, the math
1238
0:42:26,102 --> 0:42:26,684
Mark Haney: doesn't work.
1239
0:42:27,480 --> 0:42:28,926
Cam Iwasa: Yeah, it just puts a lot of people in a
1240
0:42:28,946 --> 0:42:30,464
Cam Iwasa: tough spot and, like I said, especially
1241
0:42:30,965 --> 0:42:33,141
Cam Iwasa: people around my age I'm 30 right now and
1242
0:42:33,181 --> 0:42:35,761
Cam Iwasa: so people that are kind of in their mid to
1243
0:42:35,801 --> 0:42:38,625
Cam Iwasa: late 20s, early 30s, that again maybe
1244
0:42:38,645 --> 0:42:39,822
Cam Iwasa: you're getting married and maybe you want
1245
0:42:39,842 --> 0:42:41,825
Cam Iwasa: to start a family and they want to buy that
1246
0:42:41,885 --> 0:42:44,646
Cam Iwasa: house, to kind of have the picture of what
1247
0:42:44,666 --> 0:42:46,821
Cam Iwasa: the American dream is right Start a family
1248
0:42:46,841 --> 0:42:48,982
Cam Iwasa: with a house and start your new life and it
1249
0:42:49,022 --> 0:42:51,190
Cam Iwasa: just financially is really really hard.
1250
0:42:51,300 --> 0:42:53,226
Cam Iwasa: I've seen a lot of things where they kind
1251
0:42:53,247 --> 0:42:55,545
Cam Iwasa: of compare what first time home buyers are
1252
0:42:55,585 --> 0:42:57,204
Cam Iwasa: dealing with compared to like what my
1253
0:42:57,244 --> 0:43:00,706
Cam Iwasa: parents' generation had and kind of the
1254
0:43:00,886 --> 0:43:03,181
Cam Iwasa: difference of what people made then versus
1255
0:43:03,221 --> 0:43:05,127
Cam Iwasa: what people make now and what the housing
1256
0:43:05,569 --> 0:43:08,608
Cam Iwasa: is, and it's just it's kind of just
1257
0:43:09,089 --> 0:43:11,465
Cam Iwasa: unreasonable to expect somebody in their
1258
0:43:11,986 --> 0:43:13,802
Cam Iwasa: mid to late 20s, early 30s to be able to
1259
0:43:13,842 --> 0:43:17,546
Cam Iwasa: afford that unless they've had some help
1260
0:43:17,586 --> 0:43:18,208
Cam Iwasa: along the way.
1261
0:43:18,460 --> 0:43:19,766
Cam Iwasa: It's really really difficult.
1262
0:43:20,040 --> 0:43:21,305
Mark Haney: Yeah, and here we are sitting in an
1263
0:43:21,366 --> 0:43:24,206
Mark Haney: environment where we have inflation
1264
0:43:25,309 --> 0:43:28,236
Mark Haney: continuing to press on us.
1265
0:43:30,206 --> 0:43:32,082
Mark Haney: And where do you want to invest if you know
1266
0:43:32,303 --> 0:43:34,362
Mark Haney: things are going to go up in value or go up
1267
0:43:34,402 --> 0:43:34,925
Mark Haney: in price?
1268
0:43:35,500 --> 0:43:37,881
Mark Haney: You want to be probably thinking and this
1269
0:43:37,941 --> 0:43:40,343
Mark Haney: is not investment advice, but just me
1270
0:43:40,423 --> 0:43:44,032
Mark Haney: thinking about me is owning real assets,
1271
0:43:44,140 --> 0:43:46,988
Mark Haney: things that are going to go up in value,
1272
0:43:47,148 --> 0:43:49,926
Mark Haney: like real estate it's so it still can be a
1273
0:43:50,026 --> 0:43:51,864
Mark Haney: great investment, but it's just harder to
1274
0:43:51,904 --> 0:43:52,346
Mark Haney: get into.
1275
0:43:52,840 --> 0:43:54,667
Cam Iwasa: Yeah, and that's one of the things that we
1276
0:43:54,707 --> 0:43:57,287
Cam Iwasa: push is kind of creating the right types of
1277
0:43:57,347 --> 0:43:57,848
Cam Iwasa: investments.
1278
0:43:58,640 --> 0:44:00,928
Cam Iwasa: We have a lot of the people that we reach
1279
0:44:00,988 --> 0:44:02,464
Cam Iwasa: out to or maybe somebody that's sitting on
1280
0:44:02,504 --> 0:44:04,885
Cam Iwasa: a plot of land and right now development in
1281
0:44:04,925 --> 0:44:07,305
Cam Iwasa: California has gotten so expensive with the
1282
0:44:07,346 --> 0:44:10,446
Cam Iwasa: cost of permits and just the length of that
1283
0:44:10,526 --> 0:44:12,090
Cam Iwasa: process and things like that.
1284
0:44:12,882 --> 0:44:14,207
Cam Iwasa: If you're sitting on a plot of land,
1285
0:44:14,820 --> 0:44:16,925
Cam Iwasa: developing that is going to cost you just
1286
0:44:16,965 --> 0:44:20,633
Cam Iwasa: as much as it's going to cost you so much,
1287
0:44:20,740 --> 0:44:22,125
Cam Iwasa: it's going to take you so long to make back
1288
0:44:22,146 --> 0:44:24,346
Cam Iwasa: that investment that it might not be worth
1289
0:44:24,386 --> 0:44:24,768
Cam Iwasa: your time.
1290
0:44:24,840 --> 0:44:26,319
Cam Iwasa: So a lot of it is trying to talk to people
1291
0:44:26,339 --> 0:44:29,429
Cam Iwasa: like hey, if you want to sell this plot of
1292
0:44:29,489 --> 0:44:31,987
Cam Iwasa: land and we can try to get you into maybe a
1293
0:44:32,047 --> 0:44:33,723
Cam Iwasa: retail center for an investment you can
1294
0:44:33,763 --> 0:44:35,561
Cam Iwasa: start making real money back on your
1295
0:44:35,601 --> 0:44:36,564
Cam Iwasa: investment right now.
1296
0:44:37,760 --> 0:44:39,326
Cam Iwasa: Those sorts of things are sorts of
1297
0:44:39,366 --> 0:44:41,807
Cam Iwasa: strategies that we try to preach to our
1298
0:44:41,827 --> 0:44:43,285
Cam Iwasa: clients and people that we're reaching out
1299
0:44:43,325 --> 0:44:45,848
Cam Iwasa: to, or again with people that are maybe
1300
0:44:45,928 --> 0:44:47,606
Cam Iwasa: investors in residential real estate.
1301
0:44:47,680 --> 0:44:49,740
Cam Iwasa: Maybe you've got four or five homes that
1302
0:44:49,760 --> 0:44:52,766
Cam Iwasa: you have as rental homes and you're paying
1303
0:44:52,806 --> 0:44:54,542
Cam Iwasa: for the property management and you got
1304
0:44:54,582 --> 0:44:56,264
Cam Iwasa: this and that and all these different
1305
0:44:56,304 --> 0:44:57,147
Cam Iwasa: things that can go wrong.
1306
0:44:57,340 --> 0:44:59,621
Cam Iwasa: Somebody, you get one bad tenant in and all
1307
0:44:59,641 --> 0:45:01,066
Cam Iwasa: of a sudden you got a nightmare in your
1308
0:45:01,086 --> 0:45:02,029
Cam Iwasa: hands that you don't want to deal with.
1309
0:45:02,140 --> 0:45:03,805
Cam Iwasa: So, preaching to people hey, let's sell
1310
0:45:03,845 --> 0:45:07,286
Cam Iwasa: those homes, work those into a 1031 to get
1311
0:45:07,346 --> 0:45:09,064
Cam Iwasa: into again something like a triple net
1312
0:45:09,104 --> 0:45:12,147
Cam Iwasa: investment, and because retail centers are
1313
0:45:12,167 --> 0:45:14,404
Cam Iwasa: still hot right, I mean because of the
1314
0:45:14,485 --> 0:45:15,762
Cam Iwasa: sheer amount of people that are coming into
1315
0:45:15,802 --> 0:45:18,144
Cam Iwasa: Sacramento the retail side of things is
1316
0:45:18,205 --> 0:45:19,107
Cam Iwasa: still very, very strong.
1317
0:45:19,128 --> 0:45:19,910
Mark Haney: It's interesting to me.
1318
0:45:20,020 --> 0:45:21,365
Mark Haney: So office is soft.
1319
0:45:21,987 --> 0:45:25,107
Mark Haney: Retail's hot, even though we've all changed
1320
0:45:25,167 --> 0:45:28,025
Mark Haney: our buying habits to buy online.
1321
0:45:28,045 --> 0:45:29,830
Mark Haney: We don't buy from Amazon, what have you?
1322
0:45:30,300 --> 0:45:34,952
Mark Haney: Yet if you have a location that can
1323
0:45:35,012 --> 0:45:40,063
Mark Haney: generate traffic, then it's hot, and so I
1324
0:45:40,104 --> 0:45:41,529
Mark Haney: didn't realize how hot it was.
1325
0:45:41,720 --> 0:45:43,861
Cam Iwasa: Well, retail in the sense of like maybe not
1326
0:45:43,882 --> 0:45:45,628
Cam Iwasa: necessarily things that you can get on
1327
0:45:45,708 --> 0:45:47,666
Cam Iwasa: Amazon, but if you have, like, a barber
1328
0:45:47,686 --> 0:45:49,665
Cam Iwasa: shop, or if you have things that people
1329
0:45:49,746 --> 0:45:52,685
Cam Iwasa: need to go out of the house to do, or maybe
1330
0:45:52,745 --> 0:45:56,747
Cam Iwasa: it's just a restaurant or something like
1331
0:45:57,790 --> 0:46:00,504
Cam Iwasa: Crumble Cookies is across the street, those
1332
0:46:00,544 --> 0:46:01,888
Cam Iwasa: are things that people will leave their
1333
0:46:01,908 --> 0:46:02,370
Cam Iwasa: house for.
1334
0:46:02,520 --> 0:46:05,088
Cam Iwasa: And so if you can try to get in with good
1335
0:46:05,128 --> 0:46:07,044
Cam Iwasa: tenants and stuff, I mean it's a really
1336
0:46:07,085 --> 0:46:10,308
Cam Iwasa: good investment and, again, it's mostly
1337
0:46:10,388 --> 0:46:11,963
Cam Iwasa: non-hassle as long as you're vetting your
1338
0:46:12,004 --> 0:46:13,268
Cam Iwasa: tenants and making sure it's not someone
1339
0:46:13,300 --> 0:46:14,565
Cam Iwasa: that's gonna be in there going crazy.
1340
0:46:15,040 --> 0:46:17,048
Mark Haney: Well, I've seen some of the larger retail,
1341
0:46:17,561 --> 0:46:19,407
Mark Haney: or maybe it's a little bit of the upscale
1342
0:46:19,507 --> 0:46:22,926
Mark Haney: retail, trying to create an atmosphere
1343
0:46:22,987 --> 0:46:24,912
Mark Haney: where there are events.
1344
0:46:25,080 --> 0:46:26,225
Mark Haney: It's sort of event driven.
1345
0:46:26,460 --> 0:46:27,946
Mark Haney: I'm thinking of, like the fountains in
1346
0:46:28,006 --> 0:46:30,285
Mark Haney: Roseville or the Galleria Mall, their
1347
0:46:30,325 --> 0:46:33,525
Mark Haney: destinations, that you don't necessarily
1348
0:46:33,625 --> 0:46:35,771
Mark Haney: just go there to do your shopping.
1349
0:46:35,860 --> 0:46:38,408
Mark Haney: You might go there to be part of this
1350
0:46:38,669 --> 0:46:40,003
Mark Haney: experience, just go hang out at the
1351
0:46:40,043 --> 0:46:40,385
Mark Haney: fountains.
1352
0:46:40,500 --> 0:46:41,703
Cam Iwasa: Yeah, they might have live music on a
1353
0:46:41,723 --> 0:46:42,619
Cam Iwasa: Friday night or something like that.
1354
0:46:42,680 --> 0:46:44,887
Mark Haney: So I feel like I've seen some of that
1355
0:46:44,968 --> 0:46:47,265
Mark Haney: happening in some of these more upscale
1356
0:46:47,667 --> 0:46:48,249
Mark Haney: shopping areas.
1357
0:46:48,560 --> 0:46:51,441
Mark Haney: Do we see that happening in sort of what's
1358
0:46:51,461 --> 0:46:52,606
Mark Haney: called the strip mall thing?
1359
0:46:52,720 --> 0:46:56,951
Mark Haney: Is, how are they attracting those, the
1360
0:46:56,991 --> 0:46:57,352
Mark Haney: traffic?
1361
0:46:57,880 --> 0:46:58,845
Cam Iwasa: Yeah, not necessarily.
1362
0:46:59,642 --> 0:47:01,920
Cam Iwasa: I think the best investments are just if
1363
0:47:01,940 --> 0:47:06,086
Cam Iwasa: you're on a high traffic area or if you're
1364
0:47:06,106 --> 0:47:08,921
Cam Iwasa: near a big neighborhood or something people
1365
0:47:08,941 --> 0:47:11,220
Cam Iwasa: are gonna need to go out and do things, and
1366
0:47:11,240 --> 0:47:12,941
Cam Iwasa: so if you're near a neighborhood you've got
1367
0:47:13,904 --> 0:47:16,601
Cam Iwasa: however many thousand people live three
1368
0:47:16,621 --> 0:47:18,046
Cam Iwasa: blocks from where you're located.
1369
0:47:18,520 --> 0:47:19,925
Cam Iwasa: You're gonna drive plenty of traffic to
1370
0:47:19,965 --> 0:47:20,467
Cam Iwasa: that space.
1371
0:47:21,320 --> 0:47:24,181
Cam Iwasa: But that's part of the valuation of what
1372
0:47:24,221 --> 0:47:26,222
Cam Iwasa: these different strip centers are, and a
1373
0:47:26,262 --> 0:47:27,827
Cam Iwasa: lot of it depends if someone's willing to
1374
0:47:27,867 --> 0:47:31,062
Cam Iwasa: spend five million on a strip center versus
1375
0:47:31,563 --> 0:47:33,048
Cam Iwasa: 1.2 million on a strip center.
1376
0:47:33,700 --> 0:47:35,105
Cam Iwasa: You kind of get what you pay for at a
1377
0:47:35,145 --> 0:47:35,707
Cam Iwasa: certain point.
1378
0:47:37,460 --> 0:47:39,166
Mark Haney: What about multifamily and industrial?
1379
0:47:39,900 --> 0:47:41,787
Mark Haney: I would assume multifamily is still pretty
1380
0:47:41,828 --> 0:47:43,364
Mark Haney: hot because you still have the shortage of
1381
0:47:44,207 --> 0:47:46,264
Mark Haney: places to live and people wanna live here.
1382
0:47:46,880 --> 0:47:48,367
Mark Haney: Is that hotter than industrial?
1383
0:47:48,460 --> 0:47:50,126
Mark Haney: Or which are you seeing more activity?
1384
0:47:50,227 --> 0:47:50,287
Cam Iwasa: on.
1385
0:47:50,800 --> 0:47:53,088
Cam Iwasa: I would say the multifamily, from what I've
1386
0:47:53,128 --> 0:47:56,740
Cam Iwasa: seen, is mostly big investment groups that
1387
0:47:56,780 --> 0:47:59,730
Cam Iwasa: are putting in the big multifamily centers
1388
0:47:59,820 --> 0:48:02,861
Cam Iwasa: Like Folsom has continuously been a lot of
1389
0:48:02,901 --> 0:48:04,247
Cam Iwasa: development with multifamily.
1390
0:48:04,440 --> 0:48:05,780
Cam Iwasa: You could see them up on the hills, all
1391
0:48:05,800 --> 0:48:06,940
Cam Iwasa: those apartment buildings there, when
1392
0:48:06,960 --> 0:48:07,944
Cam Iwasa: you're driving down 50.
1393
0:48:09,080 --> 0:48:11,168
Cam Iwasa: So that sort of thing is pretty hot.
1394
0:48:11,260 --> 0:48:13,822
Cam Iwasa: But I think that's more of like the bigger
1395
0:48:13,882 --> 0:48:15,247
Cam Iwasa: investment groups that are doing that.
1396
0:48:15,820 --> 0:48:19,190
Cam Iwasa: Industrial is continuing to be pretty hot
1397
0:48:19,230 --> 0:48:19,611
Cam Iwasa: as well.
1398
0:48:19,740 --> 0:48:22,820
Cam Iwasa: I mean there's a lot of businesses that
1399
0:48:22,880 --> 0:48:26,101
Cam Iwasa: never slowed down during the pandemic and a
1400
0:48:26,141 --> 0:48:28,108
Cam Iwasa: lot of those businesses needed industrial
1401
0:48:28,148 --> 0:48:29,283
Cam Iwasa: space to continue going.
1402
0:48:29,900 --> 0:48:32,463
Mark Haney: Like warehousing type space ship stuff all
1403
0:48:32,483 --> 0:48:33,046
Mark Haney: over the world.
1404
0:48:34,560 --> 0:48:35,243
Mark Haney: Very interesting.
1405
0:48:35,740 --> 0:48:36,604
Mark Haney: So do you have a?
1406
0:48:37,880 --> 0:48:40,489
Mark Haney: If you pulled out the crystal ball for us?
1407
0:48:40,600 --> 0:48:40,781
Mark Haney: Maybe?
1408
0:48:40,801 --> 0:48:43,605
Mark Haney: I know you're only one year in, but maybe
1409
0:48:43,745 --> 0:48:46,164
Mark Haney: you mentioned Paul Frank is the guy that
1410
0:48:46,204 --> 0:48:46,946
Mark Haney: you work with.
1411
0:48:47,800 --> 0:48:48,986
Mark Haney: He's been doing this a long time.
1412
0:48:49,100 --> 0:48:50,905
Mark Haney: What's the crystal ball from?
1413
0:48:51,206 --> 0:48:53,825
Mark Haney: Your firm kind of saying about Sacramento
1414
0:48:54,146 --> 0:48:55,803
Mark Haney: and the trajectory, because we're still
1415
0:48:55,864 --> 0:48:57,763
Mark Haney: growing in Sacramento whereas other cities
1416
0:48:57,803 --> 0:49:00,606
Mark Haney: around California seem to be declining in
1417
0:49:00,666 --> 0:49:04,429
Mark Haney: population, sacramento is growing a little
1418
0:49:04,449 --> 0:49:08,390
Mark Haney: bit and significantly more than other areas.
1419
0:49:09,040 --> 0:49:10,761
Cam Iwasa: Yeah, the conversations that I've had with
1420
0:49:11,082 --> 0:49:13,249
Cam Iwasa: people that I really trust Paul's one of
1421
0:49:13,269 --> 0:49:16,088
Cam Iwasa: them, one of my partners I work with, john
1422
0:49:16,128 --> 0:49:18,124
Cam Iwasa: Bias, has also been really, really good to
1423
0:49:18,164 --> 0:49:18,244
Cam Iwasa: me.
1424
0:49:19,820 --> 0:49:22,024
Cam Iwasa: They basically said tough year for me to
1425
0:49:22,064 --> 0:49:24,466
Cam Iwasa: have my first year as a real estate agent,
1426
0:49:24,640 --> 0:49:26,702
Cam Iwasa: just given the current market with the high
1427
0:49:27,123 --> 0:49:27,986
Cam Iwasa: interest rates and stuff.
1428
0:49:28,800 --> 0:49:31,021
Cam Iwasa: But the other side of it is, if I can
1429
0:49:31,041 --> 0:49:33,723
Cam Iwasa: survive this year, it's just gonna get
1430
0:49:33,944 --> 0:49:36,766
Cam Iwasa: better and better, because I think this is
1431
0:49:36,846 --> 0:49:39,725
Cam Iwasa: probably gonna be, at least in the short
1432
0:49:39,785 --> 0:49:42,346
Cam Iwasa: term future, probably one of the hardest
1433
0:49:42,406 --> 0:49:42,727
Cam Iwasa: years.
1434
0:49:43,220 --> 0:49:45,320
Cam Iwasa: But from everyone I've talked to, your
1435
0:49:45,381 --> 0:49:46,701
Cam Iwasa: first year in the industry you're gonna
1436
0:49:46,721 --> 0:49:48,760
Cam Iwasa: have to really grind it out regardless, and
1437
0:49:48,821 --> 0:49:51,321
Cam Iwasa: so I might as well grind it out and then
1438
0:49:51,763 --> 0:49:54,384
Cam Iwasa: hopefully in theory it gets a lot easier
1439
0:49:54,424 --> 0:49:55,985
Cam Iwasa: for me and I think, wow, after that first
1440
0:49:56,025 --> 0:49:57,265
Cam Iwasa: year things really work great.
1441
0:49:57,500 --> 0:49:59,287
Cam Iwasa: But we'll see how it goes.
1442
0:49:59,520 --> 0:50:00,864
Mark Haney: You're in real estate.
1443
0:50:01,667 --> 0:50:03,603
Mark Haney: Business generally, though, tends to be
1444
0:50:03,663 --> 0:50:05,884
Mark Haney: about relationships, and I've seen that in
1445
0:50:05,924 --> 0:50:07,443
Mark Haney: commercial real estate, residential real
1446
0:50:07,463 --> 0:50:09,325
Mark Haney: estate and even the stuff I do around
1447
0:50:09,426 --> 0:50:11,264
Mark Haney: entrepreneurship tends to be about real
1448
0:50:11,304 --> 0:50:13,125
Mark Haney: estates or, excuse me, relationships.
1449
0:50:13,620 --> 0:50:18,581
Mark Haney: So that's, I think, a built in, it's called
1450
0:50:18,621 --> 0:50:20,745
Mark Haney: Advantage for you, because you've obviously
1451
0:50:20,765 --> 0:50:22,182
Mark Haney: got great people skills, but you've lived
1452
0:50:22,202 --> 0:50:24,966
Mark Haney: here your whole life and with your side
1453
0:50:25,027 --> 0:50:28,587
Mark Haney: gigs, you've got plenty of avenues into
1454
0:50:29,509 --> 0:50:31,062
Mark Haney: creating great relationships with people
1455
0:50:31,082 --> 0:50:32,286
Mark Haney: with a lot of influence.
1456
0:50:32,920 --> 0:50:34,321
Mark Haney: One of the people that I look up to that we
1457
0:50:34,341 --> 0:50:36,688
Mark Haney: were talking about earlier is Kevin Nagle,
1458
0:50:37,661 --> 0:50:40,729
Mark Haney: and the kind of way that he's helped
1459
0:50:40,789 --> 0:50:44,108
Mark Haney: inspire business people to achieve more.
1460
0:50:45,363 --> 0:50:48,302
Mark Haney: Are there people that you look up to now as
1461
0:50:48,322 --> 0:50:50,909
Mark Haney: you're entering this new career for
1462
0:50:50,929 --> 0:50:51,290
Mark Haney: yourself?
1463
0:50:52,704 --> 0:50:53,688
Mark Haney: Is there people that you're like?
1464
0:50:53,860 --> 0:50:57,208
Mark Haney: Okay, that's kind of who I might aspire to
1465
0:50:58,251 --> 0:51:00,726
Mark Haney: understand better and maybe even emulate at
1466
0:51:00,766 --> 0:51:01,147
Mark Haney: some level.
1467
0:51:01,800 --> 0:51:02,162
Cam Iwasa: Definitely.
1468
0:51:02,880 --> 0:51:05,469
Cam Iwasa: You mentioned Kevin, owner of the Republic,
1469
0:51:05,600 --> 0:51:06,780
Cam Iwasa: someone that I've been fortunate enough to
1470
0:51:06,800 --> 0:51:10,310
Cam Iwasa: have a relationship with for the past seven,
1471
0:51:10,370 --> 0:51:11,081
Cam Iwasa: eight years or so.
1472
0:51:12,161 --> 0:51:14,221
Cam Iwasa: He's been really, really good to me since I
1473
0:51:14,281 --> 0:51:16,744
Cam Iwasa: retired from the team and has been someone
1474
0:51:16,764 --> 0:51:18,945
Cam Iwasa: that I can lean on and reach out to for
1475
0:51:18,985 --> 0:51:20,985
Cam Iwasa: advice and just to pick his brain here and
1476
0:51:21,005 --> 0:51:21,206
Cam Iwasa: there.
1477
0:51:22,980 --> 0:51:25,308
Cam Iwasa: You haven't done any business with him.
1478
0:51:27,000 --> 0:51:29,524
Cam Iwasa: Maybe sometime in the future there will be
1479
0:51:29,544 --> 0:51:31,565
Cam Iwasa: a time and a place where that will be a
1480
0:51:31,625 --> 0:51:35,450
Cam Iwasa: thing, but as of now it's just been a
1481
0:51:35,550 --> 0:51:38,207
Cam Iwasa: friendship and somebody that I do look up
1482
0:51:38,248 --> 0:51:42,271
Cam Iwasa: to and really trust and value his opinion
1483
0:51:42,560 --> 0:51:45,348
Cam Iwasa: on various things regarding all kinds of
1484
0:51:45,388 --> 0:51:45,990
Cam Iwasa: different business.
1485
0:51:47,240 --> 0:51:48,385
Cam Iwasa: So that's definitely one.
1486
0:51:49,520 --> 0:51:52,449
Cam Iwasa: You mentioned Paul Frank, who I work with
1487
0:51:52,509 --> 0:51:54,825
Cam Iwasa: and work for, but is also someone that has
1488
0:51:54,865 --> 0:51:56,401
Cam Iwasa: been incredibly successful as an
1489
0:51:56,461 --> 0:51:58,708
Cam Iwasa: entrepreneur, built himself up in this
1490
0:51:58,809 --> 0:52:01,426
Cam Iwasa: business, but he's got his hand in all
1491
0:52:01,466 --> 0:52:02,749
Cam Iwasa: kinds of different investments and
1492
0:52:02,769 --> 0:52:04,984
Cam Iwasa: different businesses and is someone that
1493
0:52:05,024 --> 0:52:07,883
Cam Iwasa: I'm just trying to soak up like a sponge
1494
0:52:07,923 --> 0:52:10,044
Cam Iwasa: everything he's doing, because he has been
1495
0:52:10,084 --> 0:52:11,790
Cam Iwasa: an extremely successful person as well.
1496
0:52:11,940 --> 0:52:16,151
Cam Iwasa: So, and the fortunate thing is, like you
1497
0:52:16,211 --> 0:52:18,320
Cam Iwasa: said, it's all about relationships and
1498
0:52:18,762 --> 0:52:20,548
Cam Iwasa: going to different networking events and
1499
0:52:20,568 --> 0:52:22,244
Cam Iwasa: things like that, and so all the time I'm
1500
0:52:22,264 --> 0:52:24,103
Cam Iwasa: meeting different people that are really
1501
0:52:24,143 --> 0:52:26,302
Cam Iwasa: successful in this industry or people in
1502
0:52:26,342 --> 0:52:27,788
Cam Iwasa: different industries that are successful,
1503
0:52:28,783 --> 0:52:30,760
Cam Iwasa: that I think I can pull different parts and
1504
0:52:30,840 --> 0:52:32,326
Cam Iwasa: different pieces of wisdom from all these
1505
0:52:32,366 --> 0:52:34,905
Cam Iwasa: different people and if I can successfully
1506
0:52:35,467 --> 0:52:38,725
Cam Iwasa: just get 1% from all these different people
1507
0:52:38,766 --> 0:52:40,385
Cam Iwasa: I meet, I think in the long run it's gonna
1508
0:52:40,425 --> 0:52:42,621
Cam Iwasa: be I'll look back and be like, wow, I have
1509
0:52:43,002 --> 0:52:45,302
Cam Iwasa: an incredible wealth of knowledge, that I
1510
0:52:45,343 --> 0:52:47,242
Cam Iwasa: took this piece from Mark Haney and I took
1511
0:52:47,262 --> 0:52:51,347
Cam Iwasa: this piece from that person and it's just
1512
0:52:51,427 --> 0:52:53,201
Cam Iwasa: being fortunate to be in a position to have
1513
0:52:53,261 --> 0:52:55,363
Cam Iwasa: these sorts of conversations and just get
1514
0:52:55,403 --> 0:52:57,864
Cam Iwasa: to know different people and hopefully
1515
0:52:57,924 --> 0:52:59,710
Cam Iwasa: continue those relationships in the future
1516
0:53:00,382 --> 0:53:01,165
Cam Iwasa: and continue to grow.
1517
0:53:01,860 --> 0:53:03,105
Mark Haney: Okay, so I'm thinking this would probably
1518
0:53:03,125 --> 0:53:04,602
Mark Haney: be my final question, unless you want me to
1519
0:53:04,662 --> 0:53:07,787
Mark Haney: ask you anything else, but you have a new
1520
0:53:07,828 --> 0:53:10,968
Mark Haney: baby and people are beginning to look to
1521
0:53:11,009 --> 0:53:13,387
Mark Haney: you maybe not beginning, people are also
1522
0:53:13,427 --> 0:53:16,244
Mark Haney: looking to you with that wisdom your
1523
0:53:16,264 --> 0:53:19,360
Mark Haney: children for sure will look to you and
1524
0:53:19,681 --> 0:53:22,721
Mark Haney: there's a lot of people that are not where
1525
0:53:23,001 --> 0:53:25,468
Mark Haney: you are today and maybe, just maybe, some
1526
0:53:25,548 --> 0:53:31,050
Mark Haney: closing thoughts about how you expect to
1527
0:53:31,070 --> 0:53:35,425
Mark Haney: maybe coach your coach, meaning mentor and
1528
0:53:35,525 --> 0:53:40,183
Mark Haney: parent your children, child, but maybe like
1529
0:53:40,263 --> 0:53:44,364
Mark Haney: advice for the up and comer, that on how to
1530
0:53:44,404 --> 0:53:46,870
Mark Haney: achieve and how to really win in life.
1531
0:53:47,540 --> 0:53:48,881
Cam Iwasa: Well, I think a big thing for me is not
1532
0:53:48,901 --> 0:53:50,286
Cam Iwasa: being too proud to ask questions,
1533
0:53:51,120 --> 0:53:52,606
Cam Iwasa: especially this past year.
1534
0:53:53,060 --> 0:53:54,987
Cam Iwasa: Again, this has been brand new to me to
1535
0:53:55,007 --> 0:53:55,389
Cam Iwasa: this point.
1536
0:53:55,500 --> 0:53:57,640
Cam Iwasa: I was playing soccer and all of a sudden I
1537
0:53:57,680 --> 0:53:59,342
Cam Iwasa: was getting into real estate, so all of the
1538
0:53:59,382 --> 0:54:00,947
Cam Iwasa: real estate stuff was completely brand new
1539
0:54:00,968 --> 0:54:03,466
Cam Iwasa: to me, and if I was too proud to ask
1540
0:54:03,527 --> 0:54:05,121
Cam Iwasa: questions about things that might be
1541
0:54:05,162 --> 0:54:08,545
Cam Iwasa: considered stupid questions, I would still
1542
0:54:08,586 --> 0:54:10,080
Cam Iwasa: be trying to figure out the answers to
1543
0:54:10,120 --> 0:54:12,623
Cam Iwasa: those questions, and so I think that's
1544
0:54:12,643 --> 0:54:13,225
Cam Iwasa: something for me.
1545
0:54:14,680 --> 0:54:15,865
Cam Iwasa: Same thing with sports.
1546
0:54:17,081 --> 0:54:19,128
Cam Iwasa: I was fortunate enough that when I was in
1547
0:54:19,148 --> 0:54:20,603
Cam Iwasa: the last couple of years of my career,
1548
0:54:20,623 --> 0:54:22,761
Cam Iwasa: there was a couple of Academy kids at the
1549
0:54:22,781 --> 0:54:25,561
Cam Iwasa: team sign that were 17, 18 years old, and
1550
0:54:25,621 --> 0:54:27,800
Cam Iwasa: we're really, really talented players, but
1551
0:54:27,820 --> 0:54:30,488
Cam Iwasa: we're trying to find their way from a
1552
0:54:30,568 --> 0:54:32,664
Cam Iwasa: mental standpoint of how to compete with
1553
0:54:32,724 --> 0:54:35,785
Cam Iwasa: grown men, with adults, and kind of find
1554
0:54:35,805 --> 0:54:36,307
Cam Iwasa: their spot.
1555
0:54:36,480 --> 0:54:38,628
Cam Iwasa: And I was fortunate to be in a position
1556
0:54:38,740 --> 0:54:40,186
Cam Iwasa: where I could help these kids when they had
1557
0:54:40,226 --> 0:54:40,567
Cam Iwasa: questions.
1558
0:54:40,660 --> 0:54:42,106
Cam Iwasa: And my biggest thing that I always told
1559
0:54:42,146 --> 0:54:45,349
Cam Iwasa: them is like don't ever hesitate to ask a
1560
0:54:45,389 --> 0:54:45,690
Cam Iwasa: question.
1561
0:54:45,780 --> 0:54:47,286
Cam Iwasa: If you have any question, just ask it,
1562
0:54:47,700 --> 0:54:49,025
Cam Iwasa: because the worst case scenario is you
1563
0:54:49,085 --> 0:54:51,224
Cam Iwasa: realize the answer on your own after you've
1564
0:54:51,425 --> 0:54:53,120
Cam Iwasa: you realize, oh, that is dumb and I
1565
0:54:53,140 --> 0:54:54,820
Cam Iwasa: actually had the answer the whole time, or
1566
0:54:54,840 --> 0:54:55,403
Cam Iwasa: something like that.
1567
0:54:56,080 --> 0:54:58,569
Cam Iwasa: And sometimes you already know the answer
1568
0:54:58,700 --> 0:55:00,861
Cam Iwasa: but you just don't have the confidence to
1569
0:55:00,921 --> 0:55:02,507
Cam Iwasa: decide that is the correct answer.
1570
0:55:02,720 --> 0:55:04,225
Cam Iwasa: And so I think asking questions and not
1571
0:55:04,265 --> 0:55:05,489
Cam Iwasa: being too proud is huge.
1572
0:55:06,060 --> 0:55:08,768
Cam Iwasa: And then along those lines, once you have
1573
0:55:08,808 --> 0:55:11,346
Cam Iwasa: the answer, being confident in your answer,
1574
0:55:11,386 --> 0:55:12,822
Cam Iwasa: being confident in that whatever you're
1575
0:55:12,862 --> 0:55:14,300
Cam Iwasa: doing is the right thing to be doing, if
1576
0:55:14,320 --> 0:55:15,726
Cam Iwasa: you're second guessing yourself as you're
1577
0:55:15,746 --> 0:55:17,385
Cam Iwasa: doing something, it's going to be really
1578
0:55:17,425 --> 0:55:19,504
Cam Iwasa: hard to be successful in, whatever that may
1579
0:55:19,544 --> 0:55:19,665
Cam Iwasa: be.
1580
0:55:20,086 --> 0:55:20,528
Mark Haney: I love it.
1581
0:55:20,620 --> 0:55:21,866
Mark Haney: Well, thanks for joining me on the show.
1582
0:55:22,622 --> 0:55:24,327
Mark Haney: You've got to ask enough questions.
1583
0:55:24,367 --> 0:55:26,703
Mark Haney: That's the same in anything, for sure it
1584
0:55:26,743 --> 0:55:27,767
Mark Haney: happens in entrepreneurship.
1585
0:55:27,860 --> 0:55:28,845
Mark Haney: We need to ask questions.
1586
0:55:28,940 --> 0:55:33,088
Mark Haney: Nobody knows everything, even the old guard,
1587
0:55:33,209 --> 0:55:34,091
Mark Haney: they don't know everything.
1588
0:55:34,220 --> 0:55:35,825
Mark Haney: And we've got to ask questions no matter
1589
0:55:35,865 --> 0:55:37,510
Mark Haney: where we're at in our life.
1590
0:55:37,740 --> 0:55:40,328
Mark Haney: And then once you are committed, then make
1591
0:55:40,348 --> 0:55:41,331
Mark Haney: sure you fully commit.
1592
0:55:41,640 --> 0:55:43,687
Cam Iwasa: Well, and, to that point, something that
1593
0:55:43,727 --> 0:55:45,884
Cam Iwasa: I'm hopefully going to take with me as I
1594
0:55:46,025 --> 0:55:47,701
Cam Iwasa: continue to get older and more experienced
1595
0:55:48,283 --> 0:55:52,723
Cam Iwasa: is oftentimes the new guard has answers
1596
0:55:52,784 --> 0:55:54,502
Cam Iwasa: that the old guard doesn't have I mean
1597
0:55:54,542 --> 0:55:55,948
Cam Iwasa: especially if you look at all the advances
1598
0:55:56,000 --> 0:55:57,385
Cam Iwasa: in technology and things like that.
1599
0:55:58,660 --> 0:56:01,029
Cam Iwasa: I'm not so naive that I think that where
1600
0:56:01,060 --> 0:56:03,021
Cam Iwasa: we're at technologically right now is going
1601
0:56:03,041 --> 0:56:05,428
Cam Iwasa: to be the best that we get, so that my kids,
1602
0:56:05,448 --> 0:56:08,204
Cam Iwasa: when I'm 20 years from now and my kids are
1603
0:56:08,244 --> 0:56:09,501
Cam Iwasa: going through college and stuff, that my
1604
0:56:09,561 --> 0:56:10,846
Cam Iwasa: technology is going to be better than what
1605
0:56:10,886 --> 0:56:11,508
Cam Iwasa: they're dealing with.
1606
0:56:11,660 --> 0:56:13,846
Cam Iwasa: And so I think continuing to get better and,
1607
0:56:14,748 --> 0:56:16,522
Cam Iwasa: again, not being too proud Maybe if you're
1608
0:56:16,562 --> 0:56:18,608
Cam Iwasa: the old guard asking the young guard for
1609
0:56:18,648 --> 0:56:21,823
Cam Iwasa: help, that's a huge part as well 100%.
1610
0:56:21,903 --> 0:56:24,426
Mark Haney: Camawasa, I'm so glad you decided to stay
1611
0:56:24,487 --> 0:56:28,769

1612
0:56:28,809 --> 0:56:32,328
Mark Haney: here permanently, and you're truly a gem.
1613
0:56:32,460 --> 0:56:34,081
Mark Haney: I appreciate you sharing the story, but
1614
0:56:34,161 --> 0:56:36,763
Mark Haney: also just for everything that you are doing
1615
0:56:36,804 --> 0:56:38,930
Mark Haney: to drive our local economy now.
1616
0:56:39,221 --> 0:56:40,662
Cam Iwasa: Oh, sacramento, proud baby, I'm definitely
1617
0:56:40,702 --> 0:56:41,325

Cam Iwasa: Fortunately, my wife is also from here, so
1619
0:56:43,942 --> 0:56:47,032
Cam Iwasa: our roots are thick and we will be here for
1620
0:56:47,072 --> 0:56:47,253
