 Before you, my name's Nick Janicki. I started TrueRest about five years ago, and FlowPod technology is about two years ago. I want to share with you a real quick story. It's kind of funny. Mir is one of our first employees, and he still works with us. He came in for an interview, and I basically said, what's your background? He said, well, I love floating. I said, great, you're hired. We have a little more refined process now, but we're keeping that. He's asked me several times over the years. I'm still really confused on that first interview. That was just bizarre. I said, well, I can see that you had a passion for what you're doing. Flowdon, they speak the truth. If you don't have a passion for doing this, it's going to be way and incredibly overwhelming. What we look for at TrueRest is people that literally emanate love out of their heart. You can incorporate business processes with that, but passion is absolutely the key. It is the most important thing. What we're basically trying to do at TrueRest is grow a family. We're doing that in everything we do. You'll see in the video, we're going to talk about franchising and business processes and things like that, but the key really is giving people a tool. The way I see franchising, it's as if you're a lumber worker and you're using a piece of floss to cut down a tree, and the franchising system is a big shiny axe. It just gives you the tools to be able to get through some of the stumbling parts of the industry at first. Then the other part I want to talk about is just brand a little bit. Brand is an interesting thing. It allows the industry to grow and be recognized. With TrueRest, what we've tried to do is create a brand that encompasses the passion for the industry. That first interview that we still do is that person has to have floated. That's key. Every single key player we bring on as we grow has to have that passion. I don't have much time. I'm just going to show the video, but enjoy it and thank you very much. The last thing I want to say is I love this industry and I love this room. Every single person in this room, whether you realize it or not, you are an entrepreneur and you are literally blazing a path forward for the industry. What would be considered in marketing, everyone in here is an early adopter of the floating industry. Every single person and every single person we talk to is that passion is conveyed. Enjoy the video and thank you very much. I really wanted to take TrueRest to the next level. What we've done and what we've done since the beginning, since we opened in 2010 in Scottsdale, was really just take that atmosphere and bring people into an environment that would be comfortable, you know, making it clean and very friendly when they come in. We treat people like people. We shake their hand and we welcome them in here and they're in a vulnerable experience and we want them to have the best experience possible. So we've made the rooms gorgeous, you know, tile from ceiling to floor, just giving that extra personal touch. You know, we've really seen this jump in awareness just around the world of people coming to understand that, you know, we really need to come together and help each other. And when you're in the float pod and you get into this really peaceful state, you know, you just kind of meet with yourself and think about, you know, why are we even here and what are we doing? So, you know, how can we just share the love with everyone? Here at TrueRest we made careful consideration when we started to think about franchising. And so our biggest thing was getting all of the team players needed, which we now have. And so we are basically able to create a future of floating through the TrueRest brand with this miraculous team that you're going to learn about. It's essentially everything you need to be successful as a business owner. And it's mind-boggling how much is offered. You'll learn about architectural real estate, interior design, how to run a float spa. We literally have a float university catered to someone trying to start a business. It doesn't matter if you have no experience with a business or 10 years of experience of the business. We have the entire foundational team ready to help you out. That is awesome. I initially got involved four years ago in 2010. Coincidentally Nick Janicki just happened to open a float center behind my house. I could walk there. I got a job after my first float and it's been a journey ever since. Floating is growing at an incredibly rapid rate. Four years ago when I first got the job I was the only one in my circle of friends and family that even knew what floating was. Now four years later mostly because of TrueRest's influence in the community I'd say most of the people around me know what it is. A lot of strangers I meet on the street know what it is and you're really seeing the growth of floating speed up. I think in the next four years we're gonna see floating be just as popular as yoga, massage, any other modality of holistic wellness. My name is Jim Rowe and I actually got exposed to franchising back in the 80s as a franchisee. In 1999 I became a regional director for a master franchisor and had about 117 franchises underneath my auspices. Then in 2005 I became a master franchisor and I've been consulting for multiple franchisors across the United States. I am so excited about taking this out to the world but we're gonna take it out there from a franchise perspective to help people achieve their entrepreneurial goals that they would never have had the opportunity to do without us. My background is about 27 and a half years of architectural experience but specifically with franchises we have experience in having them do national rollouts in the United States and in North America so we can offer that to all the franchise the comfort of knowing that we have that background. I've been designing spas for about 21 years. I have several in Funchal, Portugal. I've done spas in London all over across the United States. I worked with Miraval on their holistic environment, the whole complete environment so I have extensive experience. When you come in I want the experience to be very holistic so when you come from the front door all the way back to the float experience I want the colors to be soothing. I want to be very natural environment, very relaxing. I want the colors to be soft like water. I want to be textural and I want the experience to not just be just about the spa floating but when you come in through the entire experience when you leave. I was really intrigued by this whole concept and once I started using it I knew there was something really unique there. As it stands right now the structure has actually been designed from the portions of the flower of life and it's actually included in the structure itself. The size, the dimensions of the pod are using sacred geometry and the golden mean. This is a place where we are going to explore self and we want to use these dimensions or to help us and to make this easier for us to do that. In the new truest pods we're investigating and working in concepts to remove EMF radiation using concepts like Faraday cages that are actually going to be built into the composite structure itself. We want to create the best flow pod in the world. My name is Joe Polish I'm the founder of a company called Piranha Marketing and Genius Network and I help high-level entrepreneurs become better virgins of themselves. The reason that I'm part of the advisory board with true rest and with flow pods is because from what I know the founders personally and they really care about delivering a world-class experience. I actually learned about it because I was an actual client. I went and floated and I experienced you know when you go into the center there's a video that's shown what actually happens and you know they just they have a great way of packaging it and taking you through the whole experience and so I think you're going to really open your minds up in your whole perspective on how you're going to package and position a company by being involved in true rest. There's certainly going to be a lot of different companies they're going to try to get into this business but you know my my belief is the people with true rest just have it dialed. They have great experience that you're not and they've got years of understanding about this and they have tried many many things and they've aligned themselves with some of the best people on the planet to not only deliver a really great client experience but also know that the business operations are sound and that you're getting the best equipment the best marketing the best campaigns the best packaging and and that's why you should take a look at it. My name is David Humphrey and I'm the CEO of DTH Capital Ventures. I'm the former CEO of Massage Envy the largest spot chain in the world. I think franchising is a fabulous avenue for growth of floating. It fits perfectly in a franchise model. You don't have to have a long background in the in the industry to start it. You don't need a lot of money to start a franchise location that's not complicated to run. You don't need to hire a huge staff. All the criteria that you look for in a successful franchise are present in floating and my prediction would be that you'll see the emergence of true rest as a major player because of its franchise model. It's an exciting time to come on board with true rest because I think there is the potential for this industry to take off the same way the massage industry took off 10 and 15 years ago as more and more Americans are exposed to it and understand the benefits. That kind of explosive growth has every potential of happening here and it's always fun to be associated with that kind of a growth story.
