00:00:14,929 –> 00:00:19,740
Hey good morning, Dave from Pine Aire Truck Service here and I’ve got an exciting
2
00:00:19,740 –> 00:00:24,030
day planned for us today. We’re doing
our Break Check series and today I’m with

Affiliated Insurance Agency a fellow
LIBI member – Long Island Builders Institute
5
00:00:32,760 –> 00:00:37,050
Steve had asked me if I would
do an interview with him on his podcast
6
00:00:37,050 –> 00:00:40,950
and we were already set up to do some
filming ourselves for our break check
7
00:00:40,950 –> 00:00:45,239
series so figure we’ll do it all in one shot.
Steve you good with that? Sounds good
8
00:00:45,239 –> 00:00:47,970
Alright so let’s hit the boat we’re gonna
head over to fire round I’m gonna show
9
00:00:47,970 –> 00:00:52,440
you how I unwind and Steve’s gonna do
things on my terms which is his interview at
10
00:00:52,440 –> 00:00:55,000
the beach so let’s do it
11
00:01:42,869 –> 00:01:48,100
Steve this is CJ’s the most famous bar
restaurant on Fire Island in Ocean Beach.
12
00:01:48,100 –> 00:01:53,350
home of the most authentic drink in
Ocean Beach called the Rocket Fuel.
13
00:01:53,350 –> 00:01:57,039
We’re going to go inside. Rocket Fuel is one of
my ways to unwind – maybe not something
14
00:01:57,039 –> 00:02:01,420
you want to do if you’re driving the boat but
let’s go inside and we’ll meet the
15
00:02:01,420 –> 00:02:02,900
cast – alright.
16
00:02:07,760 –> 00:02:11,660
Hi, welcome to CJ’s home of the
world-famous rocket fuel here on Fire
17
00:02:11,660 –> 00:02:17,050
Island made with basically only five
ingredients. Ice, Dole pineapple juice
18
00:02:17,050 –> 00:02:25,360
Coco Lopez, 151 rum and we top it
with amaretto. This is where I go to get
19
00:02:25,360 –> 00:02:29,300
myself back into a peak state to get
myself back into a good frame of mind so
20
00:02:29,300 –> 00:02:33,230
that I can get back to doing what I do
best which is run my business and
21
00:02:33,230 –> 00:02:39,000
help other people out. This is
like basically part of my Fire Island Family here.
22
00:02:50,100 –> 00:02:53,800
Here’s your Rocket Fuel, Dave. Thanks, Paige, you’re awesome.
23
00:02:53,800 –> 00:03:00,000
Authentic Rocket Fuel at CJ’s. If you’re drinking Rocket Fuel anywhere else in the world. It’s bullshit
24
00:03:08,319 –> 00:03:14,840
You have a camera crew here with us today so
what are you doing why are cameras
25
00:03:14,840 –> 00:03:18,459
following us instead of it just being a
podcast why is it also a video thing
26
00:03:18,459 –> 00:03:23,769
well I’m not your normal truck repair
shop owner and I’m constantly looking at
27
00:03:23,769 –> 00:03:29,299
not just ways to make my job more
interesting and rewarding and stuff like
28
00:03:29,299 –> 00:03:35,150
that but to try and encourage other
business owners that if you can raise
29
00:03:35,150 –> 00:03:39,260
your spirits up if you could do things
that are fun and uplifting you’re now
30
00:03:39,260 –> 00:03:43,280
going to carry that type of culture with
the people that you work with and the
31
00:03:43,280 –> 00:03:47,480
people that you surround yourself with
if you create the type of company that
32
00:03:47,480 –> 00:03:50,989
people want to work for if you create
the type of culture that people want to
33
00:03:50,989 –> 00:03:55,099
work for you will get the best people in
your industry to come and work with you
34
00:03:55,099 –> 00:03:58,430
I want to give everything I can to my
employees and my customers
35
00:03:58,430 –> 00:04:02,959
so we’re consistently working at making
yourself better because you can’t make
36
00:04:02,959 –> 00:04:06,290
other people better unless you make
yourself better and learning from people
37
00:04:06,290 –> 00:04:11,090
who do make themselves better and then
being able to do social media here and
38
00:04:11,090 –> 00:04:14,209
through your interviews and these
beautiful things be able to share it
39
00:04:14,209 –> 00:04:17,500
with other people and make their lives
better
