# **Welcome Steemians!** This is a personal introduction from myself as I relocate to Puerto Rico. I have had many interesting chapters of life and am excited to begin this new one. I am excited about the potential of blockchain, crypto, entrepreneurship and real estate opportunity development. I am looking forward to working with other **Act 20/22 and Act 135** persons here on the island of Puerto Rico. I see amazing talent here through the University of Puerto Rico and also within other well known startup accelerators budding locally. I am uploading a video that was previously posted elsewhere, but I have updated the intro. I am psuedo-retired now and looking really only for the hungry type entrepreneurs to help out. If you are in Puerto Rico, involved with blockchain or other crypto projects and investing, or if you want to do something in the real estate realm...let's talk more! As I grow my channel here, I will be posting completely new content once I have transferred my previously created stuff onto this platform. I hope to use this platform to empower others and to motivate people to build something they control. Also, as I grow this platform, I will be sending 0.001 of STEEM to every follower whenever I post a fresh, new video. It will come as a URL direct into your wallet to give you notification. IF you are not a bot, AND have a following of your own above 300 people AND you RESTEEM my newest video link while upvote is possible, then I will also send you 0.25 STEEM. As I am doing this manually, and it takes time to do it... this offer will stand until I have more than 5,000 followers. After that, I will be sponsoring a bot to automate this process and support entrepreneurs that support STEEMIT or support business development here in Puerto Rico, for Puerto Rican locals especially. # **You can watch the first part of my video as an introduction to myself. At the 2 minute mark, I am posting the older material I made before about Funding Gym purpose and why I am doing this.** **The transcript is below of what I said during the second part of the video.** "Welcome. My name is Gary, I'm glad you found us today. I'm going to talk about Funding Gym. There's a purpose behind Funding Gym. I founded this company as a time shortcut. It was a time management tool to build this company. Often, in the past, my friends, family or people that I knew, were asking me questions. I seemed to be answering the same things over and over. Now, I'm no genius, but I have been raised inside of a credit culture here in the United States. I understood very early on that cash is not King, credit is king in this society. The more credibility that you have financially, the more that investors, lenders or vendors are willing to sell to you or lend you value. That's why I really started the company. This company is primarily an information source and a tool that I can point my friends, family and associates to. Here they can learn quickly how to properly develop their credit scores. Their personal credit score can enable them to live the lifestyle that they want to live and to buy the car that they wish to afford. It can access the house that they want to live in or it can provide a security blanket of safety net in case they're injured. There's a lot of use and utility in having a high personal credit score. Over the past few years, I have lived in the Silicon Valley and in the Silicon Valley in California. There, I'm often coming across friends and making business contacts with people that come from outside the United States. Often they don't have a personal credit score or they don't have an business profile at all, but they want to start up their company and get business going. # They want to start up their company. - They want to hire staff. - They want to sign a lease to an office or a warehouse or a factory. - They need to buy raw material and convert that raw material for a finished good or service to sell. - Maybe there is equipment that they need to lease and do this. - They want to set up a merchant account so that they can sell their product or services to clients. # These steps almost all require having excellent business credit. In the United States at least, it's much easier to organize a company and become successful if you have credibility AND you have capital. They say it takes money to make money, well it doesn't have to be your money to make money. It can be an investor or a lender's money so that you can become successful. So that's really why I started Funding Gym. It was so that I could provide those tools. I can provide the information. I can even provide services if necessary to my friends, family and people that I associate with directly. Regarding business development, or personal credit development , what I'm talking about is being able to take someone that is a zero or a blank profile to being over 800 scores. You'll learn more later about what that means and also how I am able to provide access to up to $250,000 in business financing, business credit. These tools, that you can learn about and utilize to become successful, these are very powerful. These are do-it-yourself tools. We're gonna cheer you on as you utilize these do-it-yourself tools. If instead, you do want us to provide that service instead, our time isn't free, but it's not really expensive. I didn't organize Funding gym as a way to make ton of money off of my friends and family. I organized Funding Gym as a search tool or a way to find other people that are entrepreneurial and that have a business curiosity. They have an interest in their own brand or their own product or service. I'd like to bring those people, that personality type into our existing organization. We are based in the Silicon Valley. We are also based in Los Angeles, Puerto Rico, and later we are going to expand into Austin. We are seeking out entrepreneurial types. I am not hiring anyone. I am simply looking for hungry entrepreneur types as potential partners in future projects. That's why I am putting this education online here inside Steemit platforms and social media outlets. The tools that we're going to make available have to you deal with credit profile building. They have to do with financial strengthening. The reason is because I want to educate you and strengthen other people is that we have similar characteristics. As a group, as a team, we are able to take on bigger business deals. We are able to expand into bigger real estate, bigger venture capital support and more leadership of good ideas that we simply don't have the time to follow up on now. # Why am I doing this also? It's because it's a challenge. It's something that's new for me. I've had many chapters in the past, many lives in the past. # My origin in North Texas was working with cattle and agriculture and rodeos and cowboy stuff. https://i.imgur.com/Ve8eJIt.jpg Then as a young man, I joined the Navy and I became a military supporter personality. I was highly trained in trauma medical support within elite military systems. https://i.imgur.com/a6qY08u.jpg I was lucky enough to be selected for Special Forces. So I was with the Marine Corps, First Reconnaissance Battalion for many many years. https://i.imgur.com/ielD8Z2.jpg Later on, I had my curiosity about biology and medicine drive me toward cardiology. I started to learn MRI, CT, echocardiography and cath lab. All of these medical and biological systems to diagnose were fascinating. https://i.imgur.com/T1JXIrM.jpg So I've always had a curious mind about what is next. A couple of years ago was when I started my first company outside of medical career. My first company here in Silicon Valley was because I was constantly surrounded by personality types similar to Steve Jobs or Larry Page. Or I was neighbors with Elon Musk. All of these things you would hear about from entrepreneurs, Gary Vaynerchuk.... these kind of people were motivating. They are really motivating personalities and it just became a new challenge to start a company of my own. So I started different companies. In the past they were had to do with co-working or Co-living spaces for tenants that are in startup or they needed collaboration spaces. It became addictive to support startup ideas. What I found out was that internationals that come into the Silicon Valley, they may be capitalized to start their company. They may have a good product or good service already in their home country. They're expanding in the United States, but were constantly running into problems dealing with the fact that they had no credit profile. They had no credit history, there was no report that could be pulled. When they wanted to get an apartment, or when they wanted to get a cellphone or a utility bill started, they had all of these challenges. I realized quickly that credit scores even though you're well capitalized, even though you may be employed by a big brand name fortune 50 company, you still have obstacles when you don't have a credit score. So what I wanted to do was started this tool to help my friends and also to seek out the next superstars, right? Find the ones that can be part of the team. So I hope you enjoy this series. I hope that this has been a little bit of an insight behind why Funding Gym exists. This is what I am willing to do as far as invest my own time and our own resources to help you learn and do. We're able to pass those tools on to you if you wish for a do it for yourself. It's so that you can get to a strong point financially as well. It's also to let you know that we are seeking personality types. These personality types are the ones that are ambitious and curious. They are intrigued by finance and developing their own strengths financially. As a team, in cooperation, we can do bigger and better things. So I thank you for your time.
