Good morning!
Today I decided to get my ass from my office.
And we here we are with Anton Reznikov, Vilmate company.
Hello!
This morning, I woke Anton up and asked to give an interview.
Anton, one of my friends says...
Wow! We've got such an echo here! It will be in the audio.
Never mind. I'll try to clean it.
So, "How to become a millionaire?"
He says: "create an IT company that consists of 50 people."
How many people are there in Vilmate?
We have about 100 people.
But even this is not enough to become a millionaire.
No? Do you need more?
Yes, you do. But if you start only for the sake of becoming a millionaire,
you are going to fail.
Family, business, triathlon.
There is such brand as "Anton Reznikov". What is it?
Or Vilmate brand. What is it?
There is not such brand as "Anton Reznikov". Only Vilmate brand.
It is more difficult to create a company brand than your own personal name brand.
But it's easier to scale.
You can sell it. You can work on it.
You are interested in: business, management, triathlon, family, travel, English ...
How do you manage to fit it all in your life?
We must have a very good managerial team in your company.
When you have the best top-managers, then, you have a lot of free time.
But, still, even with the best managers, how do you manage to squeeze in 11 workouts a week?
Actually, even guys who work in the office
for 8-10 hours a day manage to do it.
You know - wake up early, go to bed late.
Don't drink, don't smoke, don't party...
Last time we met, we even had
kinda a little "holy war".
I loved your analysis of Twoodo startup and their presentation...
How do you learn to do it?
Actually, I was right - they went bankrupt.
Went bankrupt?
Aha.
So, next time if someone needs to check
whether the company may go bankrupt - they need to consult Anton!
Usually it is just enough to see their pitch, and it gets clear.
And what are the criteria?
You need to feel people.
People who are passionate about their start-up - it is easy to spot.
The way they worry about it.... What their goals are ...
They talk less about numbers and talk more about the idea.
That is, "do not bet on a horse, but bet on a jockey."
Kind of.
If one idea fails - you change the concept a little and move on.
Those who worry only about money - constantly talk about numbers,.
about some indicators and metrics...
Actually, minutiae. Nothing important.
You told me a very interesting story, but viewers don't know it.
How did you decide to start your own company?
How did it all start?
How did it all begin?
Initially I wasn't going to.
I worked for a long time in the previous company
as a project manager and a developer.
One day I realized that I needed to grow professionally.
There were no good opportunities for me in other companies.
The offers weren't very good, so I didn't have much choice...
You once told me you started as a typist...
This is how you got into IT, din't you?
Yes, I got into IT as a typist.
Once there was a great company called MBS - Mega Business Software.
I wanted to work as a developer - but I got a job as a typist.
Well, I still touch-type really well.
Very fast...
Yes!
I know that you have 2 daughters.
What do you teach them?
I know you said that you need to learn how to swim in your childhood...
Swimming is a must.
I am all for it.
Here is the swimming. What else do you teach your children?
Apart from sport, a sense of responsibility.
Yeah, and how? How to teach it?
How to train it?
They have to have their areas of responsibility.
For example - homework.
We don't do it with them.
They must do it themselves.
Get some marks.
Depending on their marks, they are either praised or told off.
Do they do it themselves?
Yes, they do.
They are A-pupils. They study really well.
And if they don't (do the homework)?
If they don't, they are more likely to get upset themselves.
You love to travel. Love to move.
Which country have you liked most?
I visit Sweden really often.
Most of our customers are there.
But recently I have also really liked Portugal.
Gorgeous country. Nice climate. Great people.
Friendly. Super!
I know that in outsourcing, in product development
most business is done with Americans, and with Europeans.
You mostly work with the Swedes.
What are they like?
For example, if someone decides to do business with Swedes as well?
No, no use. We are already doing business there.
So it is too late to go there!
But if I do very little business, what do I need to do then?
They are really tasteful. They are into design and beauty.
You can make a great product, but if it looks
just a little bit bad, it won't take off there.
How did you get into triathlon?
Into triathlon - because of the big weight.
And what was your biggest weight?
104 kg.
104 kg?
My maximum was 127.5 kg.
Impressive.
I started to run bit by bit.
Tried to get myself back into shape.
Then my friend told me about Ironman.
I watched a film on YouTube, if I'm not mistaken, called "Kona", 2015.
Or was it 2016?
When Frodeno won for the first time. I was really impressed.
It seemed impossible. And if it seems impossible ...
You've got to do it.
Have you?
Yes!
How many Ironman triathlons have you done?
Full Ironman? None.
And Half Ironman?
The halves - two under the brand of Ironman, and one local under the Iron Way brand.
When do you plan to do Full Ironman?
July 7, Klagenfurt, Austria.
I'm going there with the whole KIT - Kharkov Iron Team. 15 or 17 people.
It's gonna be fun. We're gonna win!
You train with a coach - Anton (Blokhin), your namesake, remotely...
Great name!
How do you manage to do it remotely? Anton is in one country, are you in another?
How do you do it?
Well, we live in one country most of the time.
We train as usual. We meet on Fridays.
So, Anton sends you the program?
Yes, through Training Peaks, I get a training plan for next 3 days.
Based on my performance I get the plan for next 3 days.
Well, and so on ... I really enjoy it.
If a person wants to do triathlon, and weighs 104 kg or 127 kg?
If he weighs 104 or 127, then he'd better
start cycling, and probably go swimming.
When he looses enough weight, then he needs to start running.
Running is the most traumatic of all 3 sports.
I wonder you started with running, and I started with running...
Because to start with running is the simplest.
What do you need?
You need a pair of sneakers and 15 minutes of free time.
To run somehow. To do something, at least.
To get moving.
That's why everyone starts with running.
But if you are serious about triathlon, then - buy a bike and ride!
If there is a guy, a student, who works in a McDonald's,
and wants to create his own Google or Vilmate...
What should he do?
Goals must be realistic.
Everyone dreams of becoming a millionaire.
Or a great creator, an artist...
You must set realistic goals, short-term first.
You've got a global goal - to create another Google, but you have to do it step by step.
Set goals for next year, for next two years...
Reach them. It starts motivating you.
And so on and on.
As you said that in June, in June, you're doing full Ironman...
In July!
In July?
July 7th - full distance.
What other goals do you have for your life?
What ambitions? What dreams?
There were different goals: family, my own company, triathlon...
Probably, after full Ironman - continue with triathlon,
go on developing the company.
Is there any milestone that you want to reach?
If you don't mind my asking.
If you need to kill me after telling me...
In triathlon, of course, the top goal is one day to
get to Kona, to The Ironman World Championship.
I don't know how real this is.
As a short-term goal - do the full distance.
during the marathon - not to walk.
Goal number 2 - do Ironman in less than 10 hours.
I'll be working on it.
If I'm faster than 10 hours, I'll get serious about my rating.
I'll start looking for some good places to compete.
Some announcement, hopefully, there's no fire.
And in life? Go to Kyoto?
In life, just to carry on.
There are 3 main areas - written in my Instagram, actually.
Family, business, triathlon.
Written in Instagram?
Yes, but in a more humorous way.
Generally speaking, these are 3 things that I'm mostly focusing on.
Family, business, triathlon.
You don't plan to add the fourth, do you?
I might, but what for?
So these are the key areas?
Yes! Yes! Yes!
OK, thanks a lot!
Good luck on July 7th!
And good luck with Kona!
Thanks! If I get qualified for it one day.
I believe you certainly will!
Phew, I'm back to my office!
