Hello, everyone. This is Matt Warren. Today is October 16, 2022. I wanted to share with you. This is my vision board to side one, and I wanted to make a quick video. This is side two, and I’m going to just take a minute and go through some of the highlights of the vision board that I created. I’m not going to go into massive detail, but I’ll just start here in the middle. So this is my family. This is Maddie and Meagan. And these are photos that really make me happy. One was a little family photo there. I’m a big fan of ferns, so I put that on the vision board. And then just pictures of me and Maddie in the mountains and us as a family woman to Asheville there. So just traveling and being together is a vision of mine. This is a picture on a men’s retreat of a sunset, or excuse me, a sunrise on a beautiful mountain. I’d love to have a mountain house one day. These are pictures of some planes that I thought would be a good description of my vision to be a private pilot. I want to first start out with something like this. It’s very much a starter plane. Megan liked the color when I showed it to her. And then this would be definitely a step up to being able to travel further distances. It would hold probably six people, good baggage. This would be able to obviously take us very far and wide. That’s a weird jet. So staying on the theme of planes, this is John Travolta’s airport home. You can see he’s got three different massive planes there, various sizes. I thought this was a nice business jet. So that’s enough about the planes. But I’ll just keep moving along here. So this is a best seller. I’d love to have a New York Times bestseller. This is something that Bob Proctor said. If you create multiple streams of income, MSI stands for multiple streams of income. The goal is to believe money is attracted to me. And by having multiple streams of income, what really ends up happening is they end up like this. And this is just a zoomed in version, but some are big, some are small, but ultimately they all feed your bank. So I just love that very much. This is a depiction of my wife on the beach with a corona in her hand. And we wanted to travel far and wide to places like that on our romantic visits as a couple. But that was just a neat photo. Something about ponds and mountain ponds are very attractive to me. But you can see here, this is also my New York Times bestseller. New York Times bestseller. I want to write a book one day that supports that or that earns a New York Times bestseller designation. This is a little kind of a first step to creating my vision board. Matt’s dream board. I said I would like to have financial freedom. And with that on the baby steps, we’ve already done one, two, and three, but now we’re on four, five, and six, and then eventually we’ll be on seven, and that includes funding and my kids college fund. We’re funding 15% of our annual income or more into retirement, and we’re working to pay off the house by paying down the principal. Once we get through four through six, then we’re going to go to step seven and give like no one else. Other pieces of my dream board are to have a plane. And I tried to attach some photos of some planes that I would love to have one day. I want to own an island. I want to own a mountain house with a creek or a river. I’d love to acquire my private pilot’s license and then travel destination goals. So I want to take Maddie to all 50 states. Those are some of my very early on vision board items that I had written out. This is a good graphic of the baby steps that I’ve learned from Dave Ramsey. This is a little picture of Maddie. She and I started Maddie’s garden when she was, like, three or four, and that was just a way that we made some money selling plants that we grew from seed out of the backyard. This is just a beautiful picture of a Rolls Royce. I’m not a big fan of a Rolls Royce, but it would be nice to be able to buy one if I wanted one. I want to have a Ted Talk. I want to give a Ted Talk where I can help spread the word of whatever I’m trying to do one day. This is a good description of the perfect product suite. So Pete Vargas talks about the are three different price points that we can have our products and services. One can be a low ticket item where it’s more of a do it yourself item. Middle ticket item is where it’s done with you. So it’s like, we’re able to help them, but we’re also doing it with them, and then it done for you. That’s the high ticket item, where it’s pretty much done for you. Just a fun picture of me and Maddie hanging out by the pool. I’d love to be able to do that. This is a neat picture. When I won the South Carolina Collegiate Entrepreneurship Award, I got runner up for that. I’d love to do more of that. Going back to my goal of having multiple streams of income and money is attracted to me. I want to have money coming in from multiple currencies, different countries, putting money into my bank account every day. I love this. So you have to make $2,740 every single day for 365 days to make just over a million dollars a year. I love that very much. It’s good motivation, and it also puts it in a practical that we could do this. I’m not going to go over every one of these, but these are just different clips that I’ve got that keep me motivated. Go on the offense. That was Grant cardone. He talks about posting on social media for free. LinkedIn, I’m not going to go over that right now, but those will keep me motivated. Whatever. I’m feeling like I need to get a little pep talk on what to do to keep me going on marketing and business development. I will show this though. This is a mind map of my book that I started to write out. I was going to call it Serial Entrepreneur, but I’m not sure about that yet. It might be called the Path to Warren. But basically I started out at elementary school. Talk about elementary school, then how I went into middle school and then high school. The different parts of my life broken out with notes from where I started my lawn service to be an employee, scouts and Eagle Scout. Then I would go into college and talk about pine straw business that I had working at Chickfila. Pressure washing business, vending machine being an AGR. It’s talk about post graduation. So all the different jobs I had after that and just trying to break out what I want my what I want my book to be like. I will point out this. This is from Gary Vaynerchuck He calls it the Gary Vee content model. Talks about, document, create and distribute. So that’s the three things. So by having film, then you can create the audio. And then the audio you can create the book by transcribing it. Then you can cut it and create and cut it into different forms of social media and get it out on different distribution channels. I want to talk about some of these people. So these people have been key, obviously. Elon Musk there elon Musk has been an idol of mine as far as business goes. He’s a huge forward. Thinker gary Vaynerchuk. Awesome guy. Learned a ton from him. I listen to all of his podcasts, they come out every day. Amos he’s in my pressure relief group. Just a great mentor. I could talk to him about all aspects of my life and all three of those guys. Amos. Hal and Vince? Vince is my sponsor. Dave Ramsey, he’s been a mentor, listened to most of his podcasts and read a bunch of his books. And Eric Thomas. I love some Eric Thomas. I listen to his Secret to Success podcast every Friday morning. The bigger the dream, the harder the grind. And then Grant Cardone, he tells people to convert your time into cash, then take that cash and convert it into real estate. That will produce passive income without your time. I thought this was neat about Gary Vee. He created VaynerX, which is he’s the chairman of VaynerX, which is over all of these companies. He’s also co founder and all of these other businesses. This is zoomed out version, but it’s my personal financial statement template that I inherited and was given by my dad. I fill it out every day. It shows me my net worth. And then this right here is a very tiny reminder. This and this. So this is my you can’t really see it, I know, but I’m just going to explain it to you. This is my spending plan template and it’s got all the categories of where I spend my money. And then each column is a day. So I put my daily spending in there. And then once a month I’ve got this spreadsheet where all of those daily items go into this monthly view. It’s called a PRG dashboard. The green is the income plan, yellow is the spending plan, red is the debt repayment plan, and blue are the savings plans. And then white Tesla. I want to have a white Tesla one day for sure. Turn it over here. So this is kind of like how I’m going to get there. This is my vision that I dedicated the back of the board to front of the board, however you want to describe it. But basically the way I thought about it is if I inherited or excuse me, not inherited, if I earned and woke up in the middle of the night and realized I’ve got $10 million in the bank, what would I do tomorrow? So after doing a little bit of traveling, of course, what would I do if I had $10 million in the bank? And what I want to do is I want to help by using shipping containers. I’ve written it down on this little gold card here that I look at every day. It says, my purpose is to help people have clean air, water and clean food and clean energy that’s affordable, sustainable, and safe through indoor farming containers. Solar that charges batteries with water purification money in foreign currencies is converted into dollars and deposited. For me, $10,735,482.91 is our family net worth. Obviously, that’s where we’re going, not where we are right now, but it’s in the future tense or present tense. So the back of this card, I’m going to go ahead and read it because it’s a very important part. The back of this card says, I’m so happy and grateful that I turned my annual income into my monthly income. And it is great. I’m happy. I’m healthy and wealthy. Money comes to me through multiple streams of income on a continual basis. Money is attracted to me. So the whole idea of clean air, clean water, clean food, and clean energy are my main passion. So I started war inventors when I was 14. It was an idea that I had because I had so many little business ideas that I wanted them all to be captured under one name. I’m going to start here at the top. So the agricultural objective is to actively strive to remove as many weather issues and opportunities for human air while growing food and or medicinal crops. So I was in the agriculture business, and every time we had a crop failure or a crop loss, they would say, oh, man, it was either too wet or too hot, too dry, too cold, too windy, or it was Jose’s fault. And what I want to do is I want to create recipes. Recipes equal results. They’re predictable that you can budget for them and you can forecast. And what I wanted to do that with was something called Warren Hydroponics, which it’s a sister company or a smaller company under Warren Ventures. I took this picture here because this is out of a magazine I found with a solar farm in a box, 500 homes worth of solar power in a standardized kit. So what they’re doing is they’re making a kit. It says underneath it, it says, one of the world’s largest solar manufacturers in the world has designed and sold their first out of the box ready solar farm, a 2.5 megawatt solar block. So they’re just spitting them out. Well, I like that idea, that template. So what I’m trying to do is see how they’ve got they know that they can just make a box and put it where the box will fit. This is an example of inside a shipping container. I created this idea of a war and solar culinary kit. And the kit comes with everything you need to grow these crops. You can read the advantages there. This is what I got when I went to California researching this idea. This top picture of the diagram is what you look from a top down view of how the containers or how the vertical garden grows. Like that’s for mature plants. So each one of those little squares is going to have a plant in them. And it fits perfectly and grows a perfectly mature plant like a kale. This is a graphic that I put a picture of right here. I put a picture of a guy growing his crops inside the container with the solar panels on top. It comes with solar sensor technology where we can monitor it remotely, like on an iPad. Water purification. So it’s got a well associated with it and reverse osmosis water purification system. Micro drip irrigation, so we can drip irrigation inside and or outside. It can have an EV charging area because it’s got solar and batteries. The seedling house we can grow seeds for starts outside the container and move them inside when they’re about six weeks old, ready to be grown in a larger area. We can keep tools. We can have WiFi and the cloud because we’ve got electricity and we can map the data when we start collecting it. This is an example of a battery bank in the back of a shipping container. This is a cold storage seed supply locked up securely inside of a shipping container. This is an example of these guys are cropping microgreens and delivering them in these cool, like, Uber Eats delivery bag they’re delivering on their bicycle in New York City. That’s just a neat little example of how you can make the panels fold out like that. So this is showing kale being grown inside of a shipping container. This is a good example of how we’re going to have different rows with Led lights in the pink area or the lights above each of these rows. So as the plants start out small, we could have like seven rows here. And as they get larger, these are maybe one gallon containers. So the one gallon pots, like about this size, we could fit 1234 rows. And as they get larger, then we go to something like this where there’s only like it’s just one row of large mature plants that get three to 6ft tall ready to harvest. This is what I created because I believe that this also can be done with solar and hydro. Because I learned, when I went to Guatemala on a mysterious trip studying their agriculture right here in the mountains of Guatemala, I learned that it’s either a rainy season or it’s a dry season. So when we have solar, that’s obviously in the dry season. But when we have rain, we need to be able to collect and work to supply the generator and the batteries off of hydro. So pico hydro is what they call anything under six kw of clean base power. So the solar and the hydro charge the batteries, the batteries charge the solar hybrid generator. And then you have an inverter that inverts the lights and the lights. But what we’ve created is what I call a Warren Solar PowerPod mini. So a mini would be like a small container, something like this, or a PowerPod. A regular power pod would be a larger 40 foot container. So you have two options. It’s like you have an ipod or an ipod mini. I want to have a PowerPod or a PowerPod mini. This is a brief descriptions of the WiFi is enabled. You got cold storage, you got drip irrigation, solar powered pump filtration, renewable energy storage, sensor data, cloud based data control. This is an example of a power pod that can be placed next to a transformer in a substation. They call them grid banks. These are just straight up batteries. So there’s enough savings in just having a container full of batteries that you’re able to, when the grid needs the power, say it’s in the middle of the afternoon or middle at night when they need a lot of power because everybody cuts on their lights. Then this grid bank would allow them to not have to go into peaking mode. They just simply use the batteries. Here you can see this is put out by the US energy. It’s saying utilitiescale battery storage has increased 20 fold since 2007. And I think it’s more than that. Now, this is one of my favorite photos. You can see the mountains in the background. This is somewhere like Guatemala and Honduras. I got Warren solar on the side of the shipping container here. These people are out here working the crops that were grown in the seedling starter house. You got a pump here, a well that fills this big cistern container that supplies the water for this growth site. And then you also have water for all these crops provided by this right here. These guys. This is Reverend Cho. I went to Guatemala with these guys and really got to learn a lot about how we can take these systems into remote villages based on them being tied to a religious organization. My tiein into religious organization a lot of times where most times they’re able to get it through without tariffs. And it’s kind of like a relief effort. I’m saying here we’re going to lead with solar and energy storage, target the organic farmers there’s the cost of going solar. You have equipment and installation. By calling this a cost of going solar, we can bundle the entire shipping container and whatever else is needed. If we have to clear trees, whatever is needed to go solar, we can bundle it into the cost of going solar and get all these tax credits. Federal, state, you get the accelerated depreciation and you get these incentives by local municipalities. This was a guy that I met on my retreat to Guatemala where all of his rainwater was captured. Right here. It’s basically a garden hose coming off of a roof. And he captures his rainwater and then he uses it to fill a bucket to feed his tomatoes and his peppers and his potatoes. Out here, there’s just a very primitive way of growing crops. If he had a shipping container like this, he could supply his church, his village, and just provide so much more income and happiness and wellbeing for his community. This shows the different types of solar. We’ve got ground mounted solar systems, we’ve got parking canopies, we’ve got utility scale solar on the ground. And then we’ve got like a tracking system. This is a good example of two different kinds of growth sites. So this is actually cannabis here, but you can tell there’s two different models. So this is where they’re growing when they’re smaller. And this is kind of like a table and a sink and a washroom. So ideally you’d have multiple containers side by side or stacked on top of each other so that you would take the small plants out and put them into the big growth site. Well, this is where they would go when they’re about four or five foot tall and they had room to grow. You can see they got a little wash sink there. But that’s just kind of a cut out version of showing how inside you can have different models. Here’s some ventilation, air conditioning. So there are three different people that we would basically need to talk to. We got the growers, the lenders, and the vendors. These are good descriptions of these folks. Before I get into the water piece, I want to just show a couple more examples. These are some of my favorites. Farm in a box. You get three colors or a custom. You can put your logo on here. I love this. I love the simplicity of the panels. We’re going to need more panels, though. That’s not enough. I love this right here. This is a fantastic view. I think this is somewhere like Alaska where these panels can be just secured with massive bracing. The great news about all this, if a hurricane is coming, they can be disassembled in just a few hours. Here we’ve got a great windmill. At night, when they’re not making solar, we can make wind. This extends out so far, this type of farm in a Box, they’ve got to cut out here. That makes it even wider. I’m not sure it’s not more cost effective to just put another container beside it. But I’m trying to show the different styles of solar arrays. This is more of a fancy one that I think it’s more like a store. Like you put it at a university or something, or a football game. You could sell stuff out of the store. I like this. It’s very simple. It just extends up there. This is one of Elon Musk. His family member I think it’s a brother or something, started to give Power big water purification tanks. So they’re pumping it out of the ocean and desalinate in the water. In a third world country, they call their organization Give Power. I love that. But look at the massive solar array on both sides. That’s used as a shelter and a shade covering, but it’s just unbelievable. This right here is like a city. You can see solar panels on most of the containers, but there’s people walking around in and around these facilities. Solar panels here, you’ve got like, coverings over these as walkways. I’m not sure what this is exactly, but it could be grove sites. It could be like a little hospital, many different things. There’s a great depiction of a gross site. The reason why the Coca Cola machine there is because if you notice, you go to these kind of machines, you push the button and you select what you want to have poured out of the machine. I believe with hydroponics that we can have it to where they push a button and they want to grow kale. OK. It spits out the ingredients to grow the perfect kale. You want to grow cilantro, you push a button and you can grow your cilantro. It gives you the right amount of fertilization and ingredients. There’s the Matti’s garden logo I mentioned earlier about when Betty and I started it back in 2014. So let’s go over here. So this is a smaller Warren Solar, smaller container showing how it’s eight foot by twelve foot. This right here is that large. They have two options, a 15 kw or 25 kw. I love that. And there’s all the specs on all the different parts of that. This comes with 20 solar panels, a 20 foot container and a 40 foot container. PV capacity, 15 kw or 25 kw. This is just showing how you can insulate the containers on the outside, the spray foam. I love that. This is a clinic. So the solar charges the batteries, and they have nursing stations and doctors work out of that. You can see here, the doctors are coming out helping people with solar panels on top. Talks about the lithium batteries, ten year warranty. Now, getting to the good stuff. So these are examples of I think this is from Charity Water, the organization Charity Water, where they fund clean and safe drinking water. It shows where they’ve installed these wells and how many the impact of those wells. This is just a basic water should be affordable, it should be accessible, and it should be safe. These are the areas where they’re having the most water issues. I took this picture. It says Water stress by country in 2040. So the red, obviously, is the main core where it’s people are going to, by 2040, be extremely low on water. The good news is the Warren Solar Culinary Kit, where we grow these hydroponic crops. They recycle the water and use like 98% efficiency when it comes to water usage because they’re just recycling the water and it’s very efficient. So I hope this was beneficial. I know there’s a lot, but again, what I’m trying to do is, as you can see here, when I was visiting Guatemala, you could tell it was either too hot, too dry, too wet, too cold, too windy, or it was Jose’s fault. I’m trying to eliminate all of those issues. But also you can see the big impact that I think it will have on the world. My vision is to help millions of people and make millions of dollars. So I think we could do that. But I’m going to need cooperation and help from many different people, many different sources. I want to do it with sources that I could trust and folks that want to grow and really help the world, change the world, make it a better place. Thank you for listening to my vision board. Remember, as Mama always says, make a contribution.
