Because what they give us is I think it transcends what you'll find in human ...
what you'll find in material things. It's something that's much higher. It's unconditional love. Where else can you find that? Rami Solei is a visionary community driven entrepreneur and the founder of Zumi's dog park,
Houston's first members only dog social club. Through his work, he creates safe,
high-standard environments that foster socialization and responsible pet ownership. Transforming the traditional dog park into a dedicated hub where the bond between dogs and their people can truly flourish. You instinctively want to do something about it. Now, I've seen a lot of pet parents, a lot of dog parents that go through the first time we know losing a very dear precious. They really live every moment to its fullest when they want something.
They really go for it to its fullest. It's something that I'm learning every day and relearning from my dog. That's a relationship that's been in development for 50,000 years. There's not a lot of green Houston and now drones and helicopters starting to notice us. I see helicopters flying over Zumi's and they pause. What is this green space and all these roads and great parking lots?
They're over, I'm telling our weird. The living your legacy podcast for those who live to leave a legacy. Welcome back to another episode of the Living Your Legacy podcast for Insight Success.
“I'm Regretiers. This amazing, wonderful beautiful man that's giving me weird looks. Is Rami Sala?”
Sala? You got it? Almost Sala? Yeah. All right. It's very about 15 times. 15 times? By the end of this episode. Well, I hope. Dude, you are. I had no idea. I was sitting to the one and only Mr. Senior Zumi's. Like, there is a whole subreddit in Reddit of just Zumi's. For a folks that don't know what Zumi's are, sir. Please explain to what folks what a Zumi is. And then explain to folks what you do with Zumi's. Yeah. So Zumi is very technically from a
dog point of view is when they get that burst of energy and the dog's go around and round and round ferriates and circles. That is it. That is their Zumi's. To us humans, whenever you hear Zumi's, sounds like fun because it is fun. And what do I do with it? Well, it's inspired by my dog who inspired
the name Zumi's dog park for a membership only dog park. It's the first of its kind in Houston.
So, and we'd like to bring more of it to Houston, more of it to Texas and more of it to America. Oh my god. Gosh, I got to find out. What inspired Zumi park? Did you just look at a dog and go park? Zumi and park. Is that how it happened? Yeah, you know, I wish you was that easy. You know, you just get bringing this year banana. You get this split. You put them together. It becomes banana split. But it really came out of a lot of pain and agony. And here's the pain and agony.
So, I'm the first time dog dad and I didn't know that dogs will change your life in a beautiful way.
“Oh, yeah. I think my god, you know, thank dog and dog. I love it. The real thing. God is dog dog is”
God. Yeah. Yeah. Ten it. Uh-huh. I learned something from my dog every day, but what I learned was that he goes to the dog park. He has a lot of fun. I can't even find a restroom. I can't even, I look, you know, I'm thirsty. I can't find anything to drink. I can't find a restroom. And then I take him to the dog friendly, you know, like brewery or whatever. And then he's only, he said, he's under the table. I'm out there having fun with my friends. So, why not bring the two together.
So, we can both have fun. You know, I want to have fun. He wants to have fun. So, Zumi's dog park is a place where you can have fun. Right on. You know, not to, not to bash the competition, but many mangle seasons ago. I remember being at a bar and there was fake grass everywhere and it was a dog, it was a bar in a dog park. But it was much, very much a bar. Is that something similar? Are you, are you just an open dog park where bathroom was walking me through this experience from the
humans perspective before we get to the dogs perspective? Well, let's start with the human perspective.
“Sure. It's second. The dog's perspective is for us. Our remember is the dog. And they bring their”
humans with them to enjoy them. The staff you mean. Yeah. This is staff. This support, you know, system that he built around himself. So, the dog is the entrepreneur. Yeah. The dog is really everything to us. So, when we built and we designed the park, we designed it architecturally,
mentally, socially, everything we did was about the dog. First, making sure that the dog is
safe, the dog is clean. Because you know what that does? People are happy when that's, you know, yeah, I'm happy. I'd love my dog to be safe. I'd love my dog to, you know, find a clean environment to play with and unleash. And guess what? Bonus. I get drinks. I get really good food and I get a community. Wow. That's the real bonus here. So, when you create that kind of space,
Some people like in the development where they call it the third space.
that. You know, people are tired of, you know, let's meet on social media, let's meet virtually online
dating apps and all of that. Yeah. Well, how about we just meet at somewhere where we can just have fun. Yeah. Right on. Right on. Let's talk about the partnership and the companionship of the relationship folks have with their dog. Especially men like you and I, we have, you know, we need our tribe, our pride and sometimes lean on our dogs or furry garden angels. Why is it important to have a furry, for like a creature that doesn't speak or understand a thing you say,
but it's so lovable and so pure. Well, it's been important to date. It's been important last week last month. It was important for 50,000 years. That's the relationship that's been in development for 50,000 years. So, it's very organic. It's very real. Once you see your dog giving you unconditional love, I think as a man is important, also as a woman. That's very important.
But once you see that relationship of unconditional love, I don't think, I mean, I love my mom.
I'm sure she loves me. She will say it a lot, but she'll make me brush my teeth as a condition. You know, when I was a kid, right? Like, right. Yeah, after brush your teeth, so I can love your finisher dinner, so I can love you. My dog really doesn't care. He just loves me unconditionally. That unconditional love, once you learn that, I think it transfers to you and you learn how to
“love yourself even better. Absolutely. So, that's why it's important for you. It's important for everyone.”
That's why lucky to have that for furry friend there. I was going to say, yeah, it's a good, it's a good balance to the forces of nature. You know, we are very intelligent creatures. I hope, but, you know, we give off euros and we give off impressions. So, things that we can't even see. And our furry companions are dogs, in this case, or even cats or dribbles. They see that frequencies. I at least I'd like to think they do because they're seeing an insertion to things that I don't see.
Or when you're even staring at your dog's eyes or your dog's staring at back at you, there's something happening that's beyond what humans do communicating. There's a different way of communicating. Do you know what I'm talking about? Can you elaborate on that? Have you picked up on that sense? Oh, yes. It is really deep. I mean, it's deep. I think to the cellular lever to the organic level to the spiritual level. Let's start with organic. So, there's a lot of medical
research that talks about the brain. Our brain changing when we meet dog and the dog's brain changing when we look at, you know, we look at our furry companions. So, that's that's one level. At a deeper level when we're sleeping. When you're sleeping next to a dog, there are again medical studies that show that you sleep deeper. You sleep better. Your breathing is, you know, you reach that level of state of sleep that gets you the rest that you're looking for.
Oh, sir. A quicker level when you're with dog. At a spiritual level, there are some cultures that, you know, just honor dogs and give them their own dog celebration day and even their, they're even gods. Yes, sir. Because what they give us is I think it transcends what you'll find in human relationships, what you'll find in material things. It's something that's much higher. It's unconditional love. Where else can you find that? Correct. Yeah, man. It's deep. Yeah,
“it's awesome. What was some of the risks? Some challenges, you know, do you have to knock”
on doors and mayors homes or, you know, rip apart city codes to get these amazing establishments
built? What's the challenges there? Well, the dogs are great. The challenges are the humans. Yeah, well, irony. But yeah, so cities just aren't, they get a glitch. You know, when I go to, like, hey, guys, I have this idea. I want to build it. Can you give me a license and permit to operate? They start going like dogs, unleashed and beer, beer, beer, dogs, I'm lead. So they get, like, a glitch when we do that. And it's at every level, you know, at the permitting level, at the city level,
at the mayor level. So we did knock on every door and luckily there are a lot of dog fans, including the mayor of Houston. Where is the dog? So, you know, met him, met his team, met his secretaries, and they were all very supportive of our city council. Mr. Mario Costello, also very supportive. So we got very lucky on that front. But I still think that every city we go to is going to face the same, you know, sure. Let's start again. Remember your best
trend, right? My best friend who's making a space for all of us. Yes. Can we change city codes to be more dark friendly? Please? Yes. No, I completely agree. Here, Miami Beach. I feel like practically everyone has got a dog here. You got to go outside and walk your dog. It's a very LA thing to as well. Like everywhere in the LA and walking their damn dog. No, I take that back. They're wonderful dog. No more negativity, right? Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad,
“thank you. No more negativity. Wonderful dogs. You must be a ray whisperer beyond a dog whisperer.”
I got a, I got a mid-Rammy. Do you think you and I were dogs in her past lives? I feel like we and I are dogs doing the podcast. Well, I definitely feel that energy there. You know, I love it. I love it too. I'm just like a pomerating though. 100%. Pomerating. Oh, let's put it to the test. What? You're gonna test? I have a ball. No, I'm a woman. Really? I'm a woman. Really? Oh, man, we're gonna, we're gonna slide questions to a different project. I'm gonna introduce you to Rebe like, yeah,
whatever, because Rudy is, you put anyone there's a dog lover in this couch and talk and their
Mission is animals.
He was raised with, uh, with animals. His mom was a, uh, raised animal, bread, bread. What are the tiny little dogs that look like a greyhounds? Uh, are you talking about the Yorkies? No, no, the long skinny dogs that look they're rigged. Oh, oh, wait, you're talking about dexons. I guess, yeah, short ones. No, no, yeah, something like that. But his mom raised those and like,
bread those and he always rub her up dogs. So he had like three hundred four hundred dogs
lifetime. Okay, no bullshit. No bullshit. I got that or so. I know dog people when I meet dog people.
“They have a certain energy, so I love of life and people around them. I think it's dog energy.”
It definitely is. It definitely is, man. And I don't want to sound a little sad here, but this morning I had a, I had a, I had a, I would say a divine moment. A small cat had a difficulty in front of my car and it actually suffered a stroke this morning and it happened in front of me. And I'm like, this is very strange. My partner that Lauren, we had this moment of like, we need to take care of this poor cat because it's obviously, it's final moments. What do we do?
Carry it, keep it warm. And I've never cried that much web for an energy that I just met, that I saw its eye suffering. I'm like, this poor orange cat is in my driveway. Seeking help, the last thing I can do for this poor animal is make sure it's warm, comfortable, try to feed it, and Lauren took it to a clinic and gave us the bad news. I wept in front of my morning session. I got to be honest, like, y'all do that. So to take a moment to do this and lower the energy,
be like, you know, there is no coincidences. There is no coincidences. There's a Rami that you are the zooming park master and that these divine energies happen. So I just wanted to take that moment to share that story with you because I feel like some more should appreciate that.
“Would you? Thanks for sharing that. I mean, life is life. Yeah. Animal life is,”
it's right here. Should they're right next to us? And they're so innocent. Yeah. So yeah, taking that moment, giving it being there with the cat and making sure that, you know, it gets its final farewell in a dignified way. That is very noble. That is very noble. I appreciate that. I just like, of course, this is going to happen before I head off to work. I knew this. Yeah, it was like a divine moment. You know, it's one of the hardest things, you know. So you see a cat
that you don't know. I see an animal. You don't know. You see someone that you know or don't know. And they're in pain. You instinctively want to do something about it. Now, I've seen a lot of
bad parents, a lot of dog parents that go through the first time of, you know, losing a very
dear precious one. Oh, yeah, precious dog or maybe, you know, precious friend. Well, it's very hard. It's very difficult. But you learn something from it. There is something that you learn that is very important. That it is finite. Yes. Whatever we're in, whether it's painful, or whether it's beautiful, it's going to come to an end. But let's make it beautiful. This journey is what counts. Absolutely. So every day, like I have a friend, I have a friend, her dog, you know, was going through
their final days. And she was asking me, what do I do around? I feel so sad. Well, first of all, you've gained this dog a great life. This dog has been to places, could have been travel to places, get experienced things, you know, experience skiing and experience beaches and experience desert sand
and jungles, right? Well, you because you're such an amazing parent. So in this last days,
it's final days. Be with your dog because this is it. This is the time to be with your dog. Cherish the moments that you are a great parent for your dog because your dog loves you on condition and you've done great. Sir Louis Hamilton, seven-time world champion at Ferrari, Formula One, his dog has been with him for seven, eight years, all through his races, passed away just a couple weeks ago. And that was just like, he's a racecar to everybody,
he stopped everything to make sure that his dog, his his companion through this journey, his walking living breathing journal passed on. And it's so important, no matter what category of life you are and what essentially speaking to an animal, that animal I guarantee you is far more wiser than we will ever be trust me. And it doesn't even require that animal to speak. Trust me. We have so much, so much more to learn from animals than you can ever imagine. Yes, and I hope we all
do. I mean, you look at a dog the way they live their life. Every day is so precious. It's not because the, you know, one dog day is seven dog, the human dog day is no. That's where they really live every moment to its fullest when they want something they really go for it to its fullest. He said, it's something that I'm learning every day and relearning from my dog. Right on, Ramy. Man, what a pleasure, brother. Thank you. Thank you. I hope I graduated in your eyes from a
a pomeranian to a great day. You are great. Thank you so much. Ramy, I'm going to ask
“how do people find you, how can people support your cause, throw energy at you? Is it through the internet?”
Well, the internet, of course, is the easiest way to get to it. You know, ww.zoomysparks.com. Great. But coming and experience it, you know, yeah, it is in Houston. There is not a lot of green
Houston and now drones and helicopter are starting to notice us.
zoomis and they pause. What is this green space and all these roads and great parking lots? So this
would use in it as basically. It's very, yeah. So I mean, these urban cities that will live in 80
percent of our population lives in urban cities. They're designed for something that is not natural to us. No. So come to zoomies experience zoomies. Go look at zoomies. Go to our Instagram.
“zoomies parks. Yeah. And you will see, you know, what it is. And when you see it, I think you'll”
want it. You want to be there. And maybe maybe you'd be inspired and you would like to
foster a dog for a week. See what it's like. Maybe even adopt a dog and really take this cause, you know, to something even bigger. Oh, yeah, I bet. There I go with a negative, but how is it? That place? It's just colorful there. Ramy, any closing comment anything you'd like to say to your new friends and family that are watching. Yes, I want to say that, you know, just be as brave as a dog. Be the best version that you can be. If you're a dog, I want to be the best version that you're
dog thinks that you are. If you're not a dog person, look at dog, see how they live life, learn something from them every day. And you'll change you to great things. Right on. It's great to
see and feel your ascensions or what an honor. I hope you had an amazing time. And yeah, I can't wait
to learn and to watch and learn more about you through your episode today. Well, I'm waiting to see you at Zumi's dog park. So, Houston is in too far. It's just three and a half hours. It's a 19-hour drive.
“I'm driven to Austin. I'm very aware. But you know what, living in Miami or the new Miami?”
Dude, this is right up this alley. Like, I'm expecting you to franchise out here. I'm expecting Zumi's everywhere. Well, you keep spreading that love. No worries. I would love to be in Miami. Because I walk around Miami. I see all these adorable dogs. And I'm looking in their eyes. You know,
“they love the walk with mom. They love the walk with that. But I think they'd love a green space.”
Yeah, dude. For sure. Yeah. Yeah. I got to introduce you to Rudy Man. All right, dude. All right. With that, that's Rami and I am Reagan tears. And we are inside success.
