1
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: And we've got a couple.

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 2: This is really interesting actually because while turkeys jump on

3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:08,640
Speaker 2: board with these two boys, they've.

4
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: Come up with an idea.

5
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 2: It's called Unyoked and basically they're taking cabins into remote

6
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 2: parts around Australia. Gives you a chance to go out

7
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 2: and spend a week in or a few days or

8
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 2: a week or however long that you want. Take the

9
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 2: family out there, disconnect, put your phones away and just

10
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 2: be one with nature. And you've got these beautiful cabins

11
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 2: which are all powered by themselves. The two boys that

12
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 2: are involved with a cam and Chris Grant and they

13
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 2: join us.

14
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:34,599
Speaker 1: Now welcome board to me.

15
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 3: Goes plus, this is so exciting. I've been following you

16
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,520
Speaker 3: boys on Instagram for a while and I just every

17
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 3: time you're in the thick of your day and in

18
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 3: the city and how busy things are, and then you

19
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 3: see one of your cabins in the middle of nowhere,

20
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 3: no one else around, in a small clearing. You think,

21
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 3: how do I get there? You know that design that

22
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 3: you have too, with the windows and so you feel

23
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 3: like you're really amongst the trees? Is that where the

24
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 3: idea came from? Like, how do we get out of

25
00:00:58,440 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 3: this city.

26
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 4: Now exactly, it's about how do you replicate those trips

27
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 4: you disappear and really disconnect like the overseas for a trek,

28
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 4: go to Sumatra, go to Nepal, leave your phone in

29
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 4: you while at home. But how do we get that

30
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 4: stuff now, like on a Wednesday, on a Thursday.

31
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 2: Chris is it really hard to find these places and

32
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 2: secure them and put a cabin on them.

33
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 5: It was at first, so for Cam and I starting out,

34
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 5: it was tough to find our first few properties, and

35
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 5: we sent out ten thousand postcards, We went door knocking,

36
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 5: we put ads in weird local newspapers. But from that

37
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 5: point we've had We've been lucky enough to have so

38
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 5: much organic media that we have a pipeline of nearly

39
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 5: nine hundred properties. Wow, and we have larger partners. We're

40
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 5: now working with land conservation societies and our charity partner

41
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 5: a National Parks and Wildlife and so yeah, it was

42
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 5: an issue. Now now it's more an issue of screening

43
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 5: all the properties that we have and trying to get

44
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 5: them shared with the community.

45
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: How many you got now, six seven? How many are up?

46
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 4: Six operational right now?

47
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 5: Yes?

48
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 4: Eleven together over the next month.

49
00:01:58,720 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: Great, and where are they?

50
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 4: So we're across New Southwest and Victoria currently, but then

51
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 4: we're rolling out Tazzy Canerra Brisbane for it. Yeah yeah,

52
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 4: anywhere that someone's burnt out and needs to get out

53
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 4: of the city.

54
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: Yep, that's where we want.

55
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,839
Speaker 2: To what's your most unique one there with the surroundings

56
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 2: that you have around you at the moment.

57
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 4: They're all they're all pretty unique themselves because we kind

58
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 4: of picked them. So they're all on yokes. Yes, you

59
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 4: can't see anyone, you can't hear anyone, and you have

60
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 4: something we call the wilderness vibe, which is really hard

61
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 4: to describe, but when you're there, it's just that feeling

62
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 4: that you just burnt. Everything just melts away, your perspective

63
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 4: comes in.

64
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 3: It's it's special event too, like for a couple if

65
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 3: you want to go there for for a night or

66
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 3: We can't any proposals or marriage stories out of it yet, guys,

67
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 3: we had any.

68
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 5: We've had numerous proposals actually really yeah, we just got tagged.

69
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: In one the other week, so to you boys personally.

70
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 3: Yeh, So someone's dropped the knee there that's also.

71
00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 5: Have Yeah, it's a perfect spot for it. But it's

72
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 5: it's not just those special occasions. It's really we're trying

73
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 5: to build habits so people know they can get out

74
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 5: of there on a midweek you know, they're sitting at

75
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 5: their deaths as breadsheeted to death. Hey I need to

76
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 5: get out. Boom, I'm going.

77
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 2: They're all powered environmentally yourself, sola all that, So how

78
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 2: do you get the water and stuff like that?

79
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: How do you do that? It collects rain water.

80
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 5: They're completely off the grid, so that their solar power

81
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 5: they don't plug into means anything. So that means we

82
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 5: can get him into these you know, winningit of wonderful

83
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 5: places exactly. And they provide for themselves and that's a

84
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 5: component that we're really passionate about. It's almost like a

85
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 5: try before you buy for people for sustainable living and

86
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 5: a little bit of a nuledge that can go and

87
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 5: experience it and then hopefully bring some of it back

88
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 5: to their normal life as well.

89
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 2: That caught the eye and the ear of a certain actor,

90
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 2: Matthew McConaughey, and he does, I think it's talking turkey.

91
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: Is that what it's called turkey? And he you.

92
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: Got a phone call lads saying he would love to

93
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 2: have a chat to here because he loves your idea.

94
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 3: Tell us about the call we did.

95
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 5: They actually had some trouble getting hold of us because

96
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 5: we typically turn it back large brand deals and so

97
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 5: we have a folder that our customer service manager sort

98
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 5: of slides everything into and we don't check it that often,

99
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 5: and they'd been hitting us up saying, hey, we've got

100
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 5: Matthew McConaughey here. Nah, yeah, wanting to work with you. Guys.

101
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 5: You came across his desk and he's looking for you,

102
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 5: and they couldn't catch us.

103
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 1: We didn't see it from It's like he wants you

104
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: even more. It's like I can't even get to them. Yeah.

105
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 5: So finally we got hold of them, and yeah, we

106
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 5: had an awesome phone call, and you know, we decided

107
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 5: we'd break that rule for not working with larger, larger

108
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 5: brands because it was just such a cool opportunity. And

109
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 5: so they flew us out to the US and we

110
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 5: sat down with Matthew at a bar and had some

111
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 5: wild turkey and chat.

112
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:45,919
Speaker 3: Which is the good thing is I mean, he is

113
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 3: very much focused on sustainability and the ecoside of things,

114
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 3: so he's part of the design, Is that right with

115
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 3: one of the cabins.

116
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right. We were sort of all sitting together

117
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 4: at the Talk Turkey event and bantering and we, I

118
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 4: guess quickly worked out that we're all on the same

119
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 4: wavelengths in the same vibes, and we thought, you know,

120
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 4: what else can we do together? And that's where we

121
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 4: kind of pitched to say, like, you know, it's a

122
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 4: bit cool, a little bit random, like do you want

123
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 4: to build a cabin together?

124
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: And he wouldn't want to build it. Kind of come

125
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 1: with the cabin when you did get a pirate or

126
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: everyone's been asking us that. Yeah, into so, I mean,

127
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: what he what is his ideas? What does he bring?

128
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: Is there is something unique from him in one of

129
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: the cabins or.

130
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 5: There's a there's a lot of unique from him. He's

131
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 5: actually helped him bet a lot of his personality. And

132
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 5: then there's there's going to be some items or a

133
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,239
Speaker 5: lot of items that are curated by him that there'll

134
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 5: be some ways to directly hear from him in the cabin.

135
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 1: For Wall Street DVD or something like that. Some of

136
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: these movies a.

137
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 4: Bit more intimate than that.

138
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 5: He's an example we were on this brainstorm session with him,

139
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 5: and he goes, hey, how about this, let's name the

140
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 5: toilet the Long Branch Loo, and long.

141
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: Branch is his his premium bourbon.

142
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 5: Serious, I'm serious, And so we're gonna have a sign

143
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 5: in the toilet that says a lot.

144
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 2: He's coming down to catch up with you boys. You're

145
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 2: going to be launching this cabin as well. Do you

146
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 2: know where that cabin.

147
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 1: Is going to be going in Australia yet or you

148
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: haven't decided or we do. Yep.

149
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 5: It's going in the Central Coast hinterland into a beautiful

150
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 5: Valley's got pine trees, forests all over the place and

151
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 5: nothing you can see but green, you can't hear but birds.

152
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 5: It's amazing.

153
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 3: I love what you've done us really exciting.

154
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 2: It is a great idea and by the sounds of it,

155
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 2: it's expanding and it sounds like you're only going to

156
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 2: get bigger and better.

157
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: Cam and Chris Grant, thank you very much for coming in.

158
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: Boye Chance.

159
