1 00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:07,800 Speaker 1: Welcome back to a very special episode, bonus episode of 2 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,520 Speaker 1: Big Business, and I'm joined by a guest. It's a 3 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,400 Speaker 1: guy that you all know and love, and we have 4 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,640 Speaker 1: absolutely forced him to be sitting in the chair across 5 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 1: from me right now. Welcome Aj to the podcast. 6 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:26,160 Speaker 2: Yes, thank you. I really don't want to be on here, so. 7 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,479 Speaker 1: Look today's episode it's just a bonus episode. We have 8 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 1: fun with these and today I thought I would chat 9 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,519 Speaker 1: to you all about what it's like to work with 10 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,560 Speaker 1: your partner. I've had a lot of people over the 11 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 1: years say to me, how do you and AJ actually 12 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 1: manage to work together? I thought I would also tell 13 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,520 Speaker 1: you how it exactly came to be, which was never 14 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,880 Speaker 1: part of my plan. As you all know, I'm very 15 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:52,519 Speaker 1: against hiring friends and family, but somehow working with my 16 00:00:52,600 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: partner is apparently fine for now, so I guess we 17 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: And by the way, we really are pressuring AJ into 18 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 1: being in this podcast right now, so no pressure for 19 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 1: you to actually take the reins. But I'll start with 20 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: the story of how AJ and I ended up working together. So, Aj, 21 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 1: what is your actual profession? 22 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 2: My profession is an electrician. 23 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 1: And how long did you do that for? 24 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 3: So I started when I was sixteen, just left you 25 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 3: attended high school. I did it for what fifteen years 26 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 3: till I was about thirty one, and then jump ship. 27 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 1: So the way that we got into working together, AJ 28 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: was obviously with me when I started Fate, like we 29 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,759 Speaker 1: were dating then. I don't even know how long we've 30 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: been together. A really long time. 31 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 2: Now too long? 32 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, too long? RIGHTO. You can just take the piss 33 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: out of me in this episode. That's what you're good at. 34 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: So if that means you're going to talk by taking 35 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: the piss, just do it. 36 00:01:59,120 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 2: Fate. 37 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: So AJ was there when this all came to be. 38 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: We were living in a three story so annoying townhouse rental. 39 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: I would never recommend having a three story house like 40 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: you know, garage and laundry at the bottom, then your 41 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: laundry and then your bedrooms at the bloody top. Nightmare. 42 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 1: And I started Fate and we set it up in 43 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: the garage downstairs. AJ lost his car spot because that 44 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 1: turned into the packing area and the photo shoot area, 45 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 1: and essentially I started Fate and I didn't even consider 46 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 1: what you thought of it at the time. But it 47 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 1: was just really this little thing, wasn't it like it 48 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 1: was never meant to be this big, crazy business that 49 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: we're doing now. And AJ would go to work every day. 50 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 1: You would work like what's seven till two or seven 51 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: till two thirty, and then he would come home, finish work, 52 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: behome before three, and then he would jump into the 53 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: garage and help me. So he would help me packing 54 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: the orders, doing the returns. We were doing everything really 55 00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: wrong back then. I'll tell you something funny that we 56 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 1: actually used to do when we first started FATE. When 57 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: you print out a shipping label, you know now, like 58 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: it prints out from this special printer and it's a 59 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 1: sticker already, so then you just peel it and you 60 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: stick it. Because we didn't know that you could get 61 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: like a label printer that would do that, we would 62 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 1: print our shipping little labels out on an A four 63 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: piece of paper because we had a printer and a 64 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: four paper. Then, like like shit, you not, we did 65 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: this for every single parcel. We would get scissors and 66 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: cut out the because it was only in the corner 67 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 1: of the A four piece of paper, it wasn't the 68 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: whole size of the piece of paper. We would cut around. 69 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: Then we would place it on the shipping bag and 70 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: then sticky tape four pieces of sticky tape around and 71 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: we did that for every single order. And mind you, 72 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: even though Fate was new, like we would sometimes have 73 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: like one hundred orders to pack here and one hundred 74 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: and twenty to pack there, and we were fucking hand 75 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: cutting from an a four piece of paper every single time. 76 00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: And it wasn't until like a year in that a like, wait, 77 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: I think we can get this printer that prints these 78 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: labels out for us. So we wasted so many hours 79 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: doing that. And one thing that I really noticed in 80 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: those early days of me doing Fate and I was 81 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,159 Speaker 1: still being an influencer and then Aj was working full 82 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: time being an electrician, is Aj was really unhappy doing 83 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: what he was doing. It's not that you like, absolutely 84 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 1: hated being an electrician, but I was noticing it more 85 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 1: in his everyday mental health. I guess that he was 86 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:37,919 Speaker 1: coming home and he was angry, and in the mornings 87 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: when he was waking up, he was like raging from 88 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: the second that he woke up. And it was something 89 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: that I would bring up to him to be like, hey, 90 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: like you seem really mad, Like you know, when the 91 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,119 Speaker 1: alarm goes off, I'm sure It's an experience that most 92 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: of us feel when we're going to work, like that 93 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 1: alarm goes off it you would literally just be like fuck, 94 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 1: like you really didn't you really didn't like it. And 95 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 1: I used to feel that way when I worked in 96 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 1: various roles, and I would bring it up with AJ 97 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: and say, hey, like, I've noticed that you're not happy 98 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 1: when you're waking up and you're getting home and you're 99 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: really angry. And I would say to AJ, why don't 100 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,359 Speaker 1: we Like I was trying to like come up with 101 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: resolutions for him, so I'd be like, why don't you 102 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: apply to work at a different electrical company, like just 103 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: to change it up a little bit. 104 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I was really angry. 105 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: But you didn't realize it at the time. 106 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 3: I didn't realize it, but yeah, now I look back 107 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 3: at it, I was definitely angry. 108 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 2: I worked with my. 109 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: Family, so you were fighting all the time. 110 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, you'd go to work, you'd see your family, you'd 111 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 3: work with them all day and then like it was 112 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 3: just too much. It was a lot. 113 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, and they're all boys and they're all fight. So 114 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: it was like his dad and then his brothers. We 115 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: love them, but they fight a lot when they're working together. 116 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: That's why I don't hire family. And so I would 117 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 1: bring this up with AJ and he'd say, oh, no, 118 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 1: like what else am I supposed to do? Like I 119 00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: was getting desperate at one point where I would say 120 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 1: to AJ, like why don't we because he's so great, 121 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: I'm like, why don't you become like a paramedic? Like 122 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: I was like thinking full career change, like why don't 123 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: you become a paramedic a firefighter? Like I was throwing 124 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: shit out there, and because he was in that really 125 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 1: negative headspace of like hating his job and he'd been 126 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: doing it for so long that he couldn't see that 127 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:19,479 Speaker 1: he could do something else. And I think that's a 128 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,039 Speaker 1: mindset that a lot of people get into, is they 129 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: get into a job or a career or whatever and 130 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: they think, no, this is it for me. And I 131 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: remember we would almost even like argue about it a 132 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: bit because I'd get so frustrated with his anger because 133 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: it was like bringing my mood down. And I'd say 134 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 1: like is this it for you? Like is this all 135 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: you want to do in your life? And he'd be like, yes, 136 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 1: this is all I'm gonna do because he couldn't see that, 137 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: like you can get out there and do something even 138 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: if you are thirty, Like you can fully change your career. 139 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: So anyway, he never ended up getting another job. He 140 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: just stayed working with his family, and he was continuing 141 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 1: to help me in the garage. And then we moved 142 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: from the garage into our first little warehouse, and then 143 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,039 Speaker 1: again he'd be coming to the warehouse after work every day. 144 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: Mind you, he's like working eight hours a day with 145 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: his dad, crawling under houses, pulling cables, and then coming 146 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: to help us in the afternoon. So he was working 147 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: a lot. Then it got to a point where he 148 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: then started to come and work with us on Fridays, 149 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: and then he went four days with his family. Then 150 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: he came to work with us on Thursdays and Fridays, 151 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: and then Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and then all of a sudden, 152 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: before we knew it, maybe like what two years ago 153 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: now two and a bit years ago, he made the 154 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: decision to come and work full time with us, and 155 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: it's been that way ever since. What do you actually 156 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 1: do it, Fate. 157 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 2: AJ, Well, a bit of everything. I stay out of 158 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 2: your way. That's the main job. 159 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: AJ runs our warehouse essentially he looks after all that 160 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: shit with everyone that's working in the warehouse. 161 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 2: Obviously, AJ don't want to take the credit off the girls. 162 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: No, AJ does all the warehouse shit. He knows the 163 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: business just as well as I do. And he pays 164 00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: all of our invoices now, which is great because I 165 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: used to and it's like really painful paying your big invoices. 166 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: So now AJ looks after the money side of things, 167 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: and he's just essentially my soundboard for all. 168 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 2: Things, and that's my main job. 169 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. I tell him all my crazy business ideas and 170 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: people have often said, how do you work together? I 171 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: could never work with my partner, and I think it's 172 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: just one of those things where it does work for us. 173 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: I don't think there's any like special source or magic 174 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: recipe as to why it does. That's just the way 175 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: it is, Zander. What do you want to say? 176 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 4: So AJ, I want to know what is the best 177 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 4: thing about working with Britt She stays out of my way. 178 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 1: I would say that we just have fun. And like 179 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 1: even this morning, I chucked up an Instagram story of 180 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: us on the way here today because we're doing other 181 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 1: stuff after the podcast, and someone said, like, do you 182 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 1: and AJ have a fight. Like you guys just seem 183 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:49,839 Speaker 1: like you get along really well, And I just think 184 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: we are lucky in that sense where we do just 185 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: get along really well. We can work together really well, 186 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: and I know a lot of couples couldn't. I know 187 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 1: a lot of couples would rip each other's heads off 188 00:08:58,840 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 1: when they're working together. 189 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 4: Has there been one particular time whilst you both have 190 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 4: been running fate that has challenged you. 191 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: There's definitely probably small moments, but there's never been like 192 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: a huge moment where I'm like, this is fucking affecting 193 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: our relationship. But if anything, I'd say it'd just be 194 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:20,199 Speaker 1: more so like money things when we're like making huge 195 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 1: financial decisions and we're both just getting a bit stressed 196 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: about it, or maybe even just like dealing with like 197 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: a staff conflict or issue or something, and then it 198 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 1: comes into our relationship because we're talking about it at 199 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 1: home and we might get a bit heated. But nothing 200 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: like major again, luckily, but I think as a couple, 201 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: like we're not like that anyway, Like we're very similar 202 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,320 Speaker 1: in a way, so working together works for us. And 203 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: also we don't work side by side like I think 204 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 1: if we were working side by side every day, like 205 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: sitting at desks next to each other. Then yet we 206 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: might get more frustrated with one another. But like there's 207 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: so many days where we don't even see each other 208 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: because he's off there and I'm over here. So it 209 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: just works for us. 210 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 4: Do you both have certain boundaries set in place, for example, 211 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 4: like maybe you don't talk about work when you get home. 212 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: No, we talk about all the time. But I think 213 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 1: one of the best things about what AJ and I 214 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,719 Speaker 1: do is we enjoy what we do so much that 215 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 1: we like, I know it's lame to say, but I 216 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: feel like I'm never working Like everything that I do 217 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 1: I love and we have so much fun together. And 218 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: we do have so much fun at work, so we 219 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 1: don't really have a life that we feel like we 220 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: need to escape from or switch off from, because we 221 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,079 Speaker 1: do just enjoy it. But when we do go home, 222 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: like we do switch off, like you know, we'll talk 223 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: about stuff that we need to talk about, but otherwise, 224 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 1: like where it's chilling and live in our own lives 225 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: and we might talk about work here and there or 226 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: say my next crazy business idea. But it's just a 227 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 1: really good dynamic and balance. 228 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 4: For you both as a couple who run a business together. 229 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 4: Is there a point that you both want to get to? 230 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 4: Is there a certain goal you want to reach. 231 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good question. I don't think either of 232 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 1: us could have predicted fate getting to where it is now. 233 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 1: Like if you told us when we were in the 234 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: garage that this is where it would end up, we'd 235 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: be like, no fucking way. So the sky really is 236 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: a limit. But I guess in an ideal scenario, like 237 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: maybe it would be in the future us stepping away 238 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: from the business more and which we're doing little bits 239 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 1: here and there, Like we've got so many good staff 240 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,679 Speaker 1: in place now that they're kind of like running the operations. 241 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 1: But I'd like me anyway, like I'd like to see 242 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: us step away from it more and maybe enjoy our 243 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 1: lives a little. If we enjoy our lives anyway, but 244 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: you know, we could maybe go holidaying and like, you know, 245 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: enjoy all the hard work that we've done and the 246 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: money that we do earn. So yeah, i'd say that 247 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: was the end goal. But I mean I still feel 248 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 1: like we're just getting started. 249 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 4: And outside of fate, have you guys got any you know, 250 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:02,319 Speaker 4: personal plans coming up. I'm looking at you, Aj, possibly 251 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 4: no plans. 252 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: No plans. 253 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 3: No. 254 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,680 Speaker 1: People always say, like, when are you going to get married? 255 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: When are you going to have kids? There's a good 256 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 1: clip baby title for this episode, like when Brittany and 257 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: aj are getting married and having kids. We always say, 258 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: like we think we would just go and like being us, 259 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 1: like we would just go in a lope and do 260 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,719 Speaker 1: something ourselves and then maybe have a barbecue at home 261 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: or whatever. Because if I'm having a wedding, it's going 262 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 1: to be like three hundred grand and I don't want 263 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 1: to I don't want to do that. I'd rather put 264 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,959 Speaker 1: that in the business. But we actually have no personal 265 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 1: plans at all, like because our life is just so 266 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 1: good the way it is. We're renovating our house at 267 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 1: the moment, so we're hopefully going to finish that before 268 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: Christmas this year and just keep slaying it at fate. 269 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,199 Speaker 4: I want to know, would you guys release a fat 270 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 4: baby range. 271 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,680 Speaker 1: I mean, it would make sense if we had kids, 272 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,559 Speaker 1: and then we did, and who knows, maybe I can 273 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: capitalize on that in the future, but no, for now, like, 274 00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: our life is just so good and we still feel 275 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: like we're really just getting started with this whole fate thing, 276 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: even though we're years in, but it really does feel 277 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: like the start of the journey. 278 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,559 Speaker 2: So now we just need to bring out a men's range. 279 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we do.
