The time has come for a change...

[@marc_akoto]

Our industry needs more value-based organizations. Thanks Walker for sharing this journey as an authentic legacy to the community. And looking forward to the UNS handbook !

[@4.0Solutions]

We agree 🙏

[@konchamp4397]

Big respect to you for doing this.

[@4.0Solutions]

Thank you 🙏

[@b_dawg_17]

Mad respect. As an Ignition integrator, I’d love to work for someone with your values and outlook. I’ve started watching more of your videos lately. I knew your name nearly 3 years ago, and I’m finally starting to realize why. Thank you for your service to my industry and to the people whose lives you’ve changed.

[@4.0Solutions]

Thank you for the kind words and supporting our content. We strive to do everything we can to help the community.

[@binyameena1822]

The strongest bond you can have is values-based. There are only a handful of people I consider my mentor and learn not technical things, but also the life lessons from them. You are one of them. Looking forward to seeing more of you at iiot university 😃.

[@walkerreynolds973]

Appreciate you brother!

[@StefanPlotz]

Great Move Walker! I am glad you will seller finance this deal! Clear win-win for all parties! Happy for your team and the three new Co-Owners!

[@gerhardgreeff1101]

Your contribution to industry in general (not only in the USA) has been phenomenal Walker. Great to see someone authentic sticking to their values. Industry globally can only benefit from this move.

[@darthenx2585]

Makes total sense when you put it that way. Congratulations on reaching your goal.

[@simpinto1]

Values!!! What a word. I’m quite surprised of the way you wanted more empowerment for your team. Taking decisions based on values is sometimes opposite to the logic or to the common sense or to the natural flow of events. You are a humble and brave man. Admirable!

[@4.0Solutions]

🙏🙏🙏

[@seanarney948]

Congratulations on the overwhelming success! You and Intellic have a had a huge effect on my life and business in many ways. Thanks and cheers to the future!!

[@walkerreynolds973]

Appreciate you Sean! 🙏

[@MohamedFayez-y7m]

I know you Walker since 3 years when i searched internet to have a good material for IOT, watched all your videos, joined the Mastermind class, i learnt a lot but the main learning always that touched me is your values and the vision built on those values, you re-enforced to me the only meaning I believe is important to live for "The honor", Thank you so much

[@EmileAckbarali]

Thank you Walker for being totally open and courageous in announcing this. Your reasoning, based on your values, makes total sense. All the best!

[@4.0Solutions]

❤️❤️❤️

[@abdallahelmoutia7113]

Thank you for sharing this journey and good luck.

[@BernhardLiebezeit]

Congratulations to you and the guys who run it. ❤

[@ysamuelarai]

Look forward to hearing the "realities" of the industry which Walker hadn't been able to discuss, in future episodes!

[@amywilliams1021]

Wow, congrats! That's a huge milestone, but I couldn't think of a better way to ensure Intellics' success. Excited to see what you and 4.0 Solutions accomplish!

[@shawndeggans]

So happy for you and your team. It's good to see those values paying off.

[@walkerreynolds973]

🙏

[@JeffRankinenAmyJoey]

Walker unleashed! I was wondering if 2024 could get any better after Zack came back! Thanks for not giving in to the highest bidder and taking the high ground!

[@rfrejtman]

Have been following you for a while Walker, and how you stand by your values above all else is inspiring! Congrats on the move! Joined the channel as a supporter today too 💪🏼

[@4.0Solutions]

Thank you 🙏

[@walkerreynolds973]

Thank you!

[@karlbraun9507]

I know it must be a little difficult to let the baby bird fly the nest, but I know you are following your plan; I admire how you are able to formulate a clear plan and stick to it. I'm happy that you will be focusing on 4.0 solutions and grateful for everything I've learned so far. Looking forward to the next chapter.

[@walkerreynolds973]

Thank you Karl.

[@gabionair]

Whatever you do, I just love it. Your human values are the chains. ❤

[@4.0Solutions]

Thank you!

[@markusegger2128]

Impressive move and I am looking forward to hear more new inside stories from your experience in the near future...

[@4.0Solutions]

We are excited for the community as well.

[@AnatoliiOrestism]

Thank you for this conversation !

[@4.0Solutions]

You’re welcome ❤️

[@mtrifiro]

Beautiful

[@MBeracochea]

Hope you keep teaching, it is very valueble

[@4.0Solutions]

He will be. This move will allow him to dedicate more time to teaching, so we will have more education coming your way!

[@MK--Ultra]

The technical knowledge and expertise shared by 4.0 Solutions is unrivaled, but Walker's dedication, principles and magnanimity is truly inspiring! Thank you!

[@4.0Solutions]

Thank you!

[@walkerreynolds973]

Appreciate you brother - 🙏

[@alokbmi1]

Thank you Walker! Others can learn about the ownership and middle class jobs. Take 0. 🙂🙏

[@4.0Solutions]

Absolutely!

[@PaulOberle]

Always wondered about that regarding PLCs and webservices... Also I still don't understand entirely why the PLC (which is a type of computer) couldn't be replaced by a computer with similar control and computational capabilities and also have webservices :)...

[@4.0Solutions]

They do offer that. it's a soft-plc. or software plc. The stigma was they were less robust.

[@ravis2381]

At what point of time had you made up your mind to leave intellic integration ? what exactly triggered this move or was it a planned move from beginning that you will build it up and leave it for the people working there to carry it forward ?

[@4.0Solutions]

there was a "Straw that broke the camels back" story that I'm sure you will love to hear...

[@walkerreynolds973]

I knew as early as 2017 I wanted Intellic to be employee owned in some capacity. I knew in 2021 that I would need to separate from Intellic to serve the community best through 4.0 Solutions, I knew midway through 2023 I had the team who could take over, I knew last month the time to do it is now. I’ll tell the entire story the day I am allowed to. 🙏

@@walkerreynolds973 Would Love to hear about the whole story. Serving the community is a grand life time mission, how about the sustainability ? The burden of supporting all the employees is heavy (never an easy task) , there are ups and down in any business , but to get people together to agree to this model is not easy ( Even though initially they may agree looking at present business scenario, how about future dedication? ). Can i say you were lucky to have a team that agreed and shared this dream/vision and would not suddenly close it some day in future if it finds a lean period or does not innovate to new up gradations ? How do you get to have such people ( Luck or followed some deep psychological analysis selection process while selecting you team ? To have a team that will be ever dedicated and not shift over to some other place ? How do you ensure that ? This business model sounds like having Knights to protect the holy grail ... How do you motivate people to become the Knights ( who would serve with their life) for intelli integration !! How many companies have you seen sustaining for long with this business model ( Close knit family business get into trouble at some point of time too) , does it work out in long term and you would leave the baby to face its future without supporting it later on? Or Have you cracked the Rockefeller philosophy ......
