All language subtitles for 02-Interview (Funnel Maker) Duane Stepp Jr

Hey. What's going on?
Funnel closers.

It's chapoy Ryan Stewman again.

And I'm all about bringing you success

stories. You know i want you to see people that

have put in the work that have gotten
down in the trenches that have taken the

risk and that have come out on the other
side.

And in this video I want to introduce you
to a friend of mine a client and Co

crossfitter right we like those CrossFit
stuff together.

Dwayne Step who's whose journey is
absolutely amazing.

I mean just from where he was a year ago
when he when he first started with break

free. Academy to he's one of the to becoming

one of the people that inspired me to
start this whole funnel closer program

because I'm like Dwayne's really on to
something and I've been on it all this

whole time and I never thought about it
and I've seen Dwayne do.

It's like, man we can help a lot of
people with this.

So Dwayne, thanks for hanging out with us
man.

Yeah man, I need to get back in the gym
with you.

Next time I come though.

I think I've been slacking a little bit,

but I'm ready to get back.

Yeah, man, anytime you want to work out.

Come on, come on down, man.

They've got a nice facility here.

So when you come back for the next time
over at the.

Intercontinental Hotel next door, we can
work out here in the morning.

So they got a pretty good facility.

So introduce yourself to everybody that's

watching and just kind of tell me a
little bit about your background your

story sure so I guess I've been in your
circle more or less for almost 2 years, a

little over a year and a half and at
first I kind of watched from the

sidelines like most people do.

You know what's up?

This dude, he cusses a lot.

He seems pretty cool, you know, he's got

some cool content.

And then I guess finally I stopped being

a kangaroo and jumped in and got involved
with break free.

Anatomy and bought some programs and kind
of just dove into the realization that I

think I can do this stuff.

You know I think that with my background

and I grew up around tech my dad worked
in the telecom industry his whole life.

So I was around cell phones like those
old brick cell phones like since they

first came out like the first Nokia phone
I was like my dad had it.

So you know I've been into tech and all
that stuff since I was a little kid.

So finally got in the break free Academy.

Dove in started to learn and started to

realize man this stuff is doable you
know.

Even somebody who doesn't have a lot of
experience like me on my end, I was able

to do it.

At the time, I was in the car business.

You know, I began in the car business.

I work in the car business 5 almost six

years, and it wore on me, you know, being
there, having a family, having two young

kids and a wife.

It just demanded so much of my time that

I felt like I wasn't given enough time to
my family.

You know, I was in finance.

I was a director of a couple stores,

online marketing departments, working
long hours.

You've been there.

I know a lot of y'all have.

So those hours they take away from your
family, they put a stress and a strain on

you and ultimately they.

Limit your income potential and I hate it

that every little bit of it, I hate it.

So I was like you know what I'm going to

go after first, what I am good at and
that's car dealerships just because I

have that experience.

So reach out to a bunch of dealers, start

talking to them at running ads and
obviously immediately they were blown

away by this idea, ads funnels and they
didn't really know what was going on.

But I had the secret sauce and so I was
able to take that, leverage that with car

dealerships. I came down and visited you, went to the

social media mastery earlier this year
and got a little bit more information.

And as I was talking to you about car
dealers and I saw what other people were

doing, I was like, man, I'm missing out,
you know, I was doing well.

I had some great months.

You know, I was making 20 grand plus.

But I realized it was there's something
out there I'm missing.

I've got such a big customer base I'm not
even getting in front of.

So I leverage that and said, you know
what, I'm going to learn even farther,

even deeper and dive into the content and
entourage and eventually ended up joining

your tribe and decided that I was going
to go all in on myself.

And leverage everything that you guys
know and that you could teach me in my

own contacts to become a funnel hacker
and that's I'm proud of that word.

I love building funnels for businesses
because I love helping them and that's

ultimately what I've realized I'm doing.

I'm getting into these businesses and I'm

helping them make more money.

I'm helping them scale and become more

successful. So it's fulfilling for me and I've loved

every second of it and it's my calling I
feel like.

You know one thing too is like you're a
unique breed.

You know this program is about the guys
that in the gals that don't necessarily

know how to make funnels and you're like
the person that knows how to sell and

make funnels.
You're rare most people as you know most

funnel hackers right which is cool.

I'm funnel hacker too.

I got T-shirt and all that stuff just
like you do and but most of those folks

aren't salespeople too like you're a rare
breed.

Most of those people are great at making
funnels right.

The funnel hackers are great at making
funnels.

But they have a hard time selling them
and all that stuff.

So you know, you're because I think a lot
of it has to do with your car experience.

You know, used to negotiate and face to
face stuff like that with people but

you're a rare breed but you know, that's
that opens up a whole other possibility

in this program too of somebody that can
not only sell them but you know have a

team. Just that you know obviously started out

building by yourself but now you have a
team of people that help you build them.

Correct, definitely. So that's the best
part about this.

After I've transitioned from taking on
clients myself and kind of realized, hey

there, there's, at the end of the day,
there's going to be an amount of work

that you can handle on your own.

You know, your hustle, your bust.
