David Aladdin: Welcome to the show, Ryan.

Ryan Reger: Thanks David, glad to be here. I’m going to check out that key word King, I’mwriting that down when you were talking so.

David Aladdin: Yeah, it’s awesome. Yeah, welcome to the show.

Ryan Reger: Thanks.

David Aladdin: Can you tell us a little bit more about yourself.

Ryan Reger: Yeah so, I started in 2008. I was running a political campaign up in Indiana and we lost in that year so I moved to Texas. I knew the only two things were happening, that I was moving to Texas and I was getting married and so I had followed a guy named Jim Cocker who I knew you just had on your show, not too long ago. My mentor I read his book "Silent Sales Machine" back in 2002 or 2003 and I’ve always been interested in an online business and running a business for myself and so didn’t really make sense until that point, when I didn’t have anything else to do or to turn to. My mother in laws and wife had some whole sale sources of furniture and they were doing a very part time on Craig's list, putting ads just in local Dallas Fort Worth area. And so I told my wife, "I think we can really make this a business" as you guys know you need to get a job and so.

David Aladdin: You know that’s actually...

Ryan Reger: What's that?

David Aladdin: That’s the problem, when you have a wife before you start the online business.

Ryan Reger: That’s right.

David Aladdin: You have to marry after the online business.

Ryan Reger: That's right. Well actually to be honest, to be in fairness with her. She was actually pretty supportive. She say's "you know what, she did say that you know you can totally do this Craig's List thing with furniture. I would like for you though to at least look for a job as well and so I did do that but my heart was really in the business and so. The lord blessed it David and grew. In 2009 we did 250 thousand in sales just in furniture, just on Craig's List, just in the Dallas Fort Worth area. It was a lot of hustle though. I was driving, going to the hold sell warehouse to get the furniture and drive it to the costumer. My father in law allowed us to borrow his open air trawler. So I hooked it on the back of my wife's two, 97 Toyota forward runner and hold it all over Dallas Fort Worth and delivered furniture and it was. Man I can’t imagine doing that now but it was a great start. In 2010...

David Aladdin: If you think about it, like.

Ryan Reger: Yeah?

David Aladdin: Before we both got into this gig, we had regular jobs.

Ryan Reger: Yeah.

David Aladdin: you were in the politic realm and I was...

Ryan Reger: Oh you did too?
