44
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: really excited about having you on the show. First because

45
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: you're not entrepreneur, but also you're doing you know, you're

46
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: just trying to protect people. You're trying to because there's

47
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: a lot of manipulative people out there, especially predators out there,

48
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: and people who will put you in the situation that's

49
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: not favorable to your safety, not favorable to you trying

50
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 1: to build your brand, your career. So tell us why

51
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: you started. I'm just telling why I love the idea.

52
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: Tell us what got you started and and creating this app. Well,

53
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: you know, as you just mentioned, the the bwing industry,

54
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: just like pretty much any of the industries that are

55
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: in the entertainment chapter are really like based on dreams.

56
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: You know, people have a dream, they go and they

57
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: chase it, right, I mean, and and they put it

58
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: all out there. Whether you want to be an actor

59
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 1: or what you want to be a musician, you want

60
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: to be a model and you chase that dream and

61
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: you're it's tough. It's a tough road. Anyone who's been

62
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: entertainment knows that. You know, for every success, there's a

63
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: thousand failures, and that for that creates an environment that's

64
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: right for people to take advantage of these people wherever

65
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 1: there's a power structure that allows for someone to coerce

66
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: or get someone to do something because they're chasing that

67
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: dream um and oftentimes they're not even quite sure at

68
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: that point what is but they're supposed to do or

69
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: what they're not supposed to do. So when someone who has,

70
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: you know, a powermaker in that industry says, hey, we

71
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: need you to do this, they sit there and they go, wow,

72
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: why do I not? They don't know where to turn,

73
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: they don't have a support system with them. And we said,

74
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: we're going to change that. And we're not only going

75
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: to change it for those reasons, We're you change for

76
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: a lot of reasons. So you think about it. Think

77
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: about modelling. You know, if we think about you know, Gezel,

78
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: we think out on Greenalinema, we think about all these

79
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: big models out there, um and and it's like, okay,

80
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: but we don't think about the hundred thousand others they're

81
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: actually doing the majority of the work, and they're not

82
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: they're not the ones that it's like the top actor.

83
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 1: You know, there's a there's thousands of others and they're

84
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: all working actors, and there's so these are working models.

85
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 1: And the problem with the mauling industry is it is

86
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: about modeling, yet the models have become secondary to their

87
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 1: own industry. They're they're sitting on the purple edge. And

88
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: then you've got like an agency, like a traditional agency

89
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: or an agent who's negotiating everything on their behalf, hopefully

90
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: in their best interests, but many times not in the

91
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: malle's best interest um with the client that wants to

92
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: book them, and the model just sits on the side

93
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: because inside the contract with the agency that says they're

94
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: going to handle it for him, and they just sit

95
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: around there and hope that this stuff is happening correctly.

96
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: And so the wall is pretty much relinquishing the control

97
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: over his O career to the agent. And the model

98
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: doesn't set their rates, they don't have a say on

99
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: whether they get the job or to you know, to

100
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: in the negotiation process and we'll say we're going to

101
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: change all of that. We're gonna put the models in

102
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: the center of their universe as they should be. We're

103
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: gonna empower them, We're going to give them the tools

104
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: to guide their own careers. We aren't even going to

105
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: require them to have contracts with us. They're gonna be

106
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: with us because they want to be with us. That's

107
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: a novel idea, right, That's that's the way I like it.

108
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 1: That's where I like it. Isn't that like the way

109
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: of like That's I mean, truly, it's like the American way.

110
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: That's what it's supposed to be. All these contracts come

111
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: into place and all of a sudden in handcuffs basically,

112
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: and they don't even know what they're signing half the

113
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: time because it's like and we're like, no, we're not

114
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: gonna do that. They're gonna be with us because they

115
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 1: want to be with us. Quite frankly, we don't even

116
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 1: care if there with a traditional agency. That doesn't matter

117
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 1: to us. When you are going to be that foundation

118
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: for every model, that that uh stability for the first

119
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: day of modeling to the last day of modeling for

120
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 1: every single model, and we're the people they can turn

121
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 1: to we're the ones that have their back. We do

122
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: things crazy, weird um from the standpoint of disruption. So

123
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: we we do this weird thing called back contexts on

124
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: every single client. Uh not, so we really need that.

125
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: We do criminal we do sex offender checks, We do

126
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: a ID verification, we do a verification of needs to

127
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: they actually need a higher LEDEL. I mean someone's you know,

128
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: depending on what they're who is this person and why

129
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: they need to hire a model and they have to

130
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: So the clients actually have to apply just like the

131
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: models need to apply. And we want to create the

132
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: safest environment for models in the world. As you mentioned,

133
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 1: we're on the way over twenty thousand registered models already. Yeah,

134
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: that's amazing. Mark. I can't let you just say twin

135

00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: let you just go twenty thousand. No, No, that's in

139

00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,119
Speaker 1: on in the early two thousands, UH representing several models.

156
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: They were video models and UH so videos are really

157
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: popular and especially in the urban industry UH and BT.

158
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: You could always just turn on BT and to see

159
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: UH how dominant their video models were. And when you

160
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: get on set, they had no dressing rooms, they had

161
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: no they had they generally had no food. UH. They

162
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: and IOU was always have to go to set with

163
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: my clients to make sure they were treated with respect.

164
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: You know, you get there, you basically had the state

165
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: till the shoot was over with. There was no time window.

166
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: It really was not a comfortable environment. And plus a

167
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: lot of times the women will have on bikinis, so

168
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: they will be dressed with a limited amount of clothes.

169
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,839
Speaker 1: Sometimes these video shoots are at night and it can

170
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: be cold. So I am really champion. I'm sure you've

171
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 1: heard these type of stories before. That's why you started

172
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: this app. But this is the reality of why it's

173
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: important to understand why Mark app is blowing up, why

174
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: it's needed because as a professional, and I consider myself

175
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: one of the top managers in the business, I had

176
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: to walk my clients and feel I had to protect

177
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,559
Speaker 1: them not only from the environment, but of certain situations

178
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 1: so they will come home and safe because they can

179
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: get bad out there. Correct, Mark, that is absolutely correct.

180
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: Your story is is pretty much the norm I which

181
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: it was not, and that's what we're out the change

182
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: and E nailed that. I mean we we we looked

183
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 1: at the big picture of this industry and we said, no, fabulous.

184
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of great industries out in

185
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: the industries one of them, but I think because of

186
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: all the the hype and excitement and all the beautiful

187
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: sides of it. People don't realize what's really happening, and

188
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: I hate heye said. I mean we started this. We

189
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: started the company actually over two years ago. We launched

190
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: just you know this year, and we did this with

191
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 1: these the intent of making it better for both the

192
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: clients and the models. So this isn't really a two

193
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: sided thing. We said, let's look at the entire industry

194
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: that we put on the whiteboard. How would we redesigning

195
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: industry today and not just try to put bandies on

196
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: a ship that has a whole lot of holes in it.

197
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: And so we kind of reimagine the industry and we said, look,

198
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: if we weren't support foundation, we could provide value to everyone.

199
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: So it's not just to the models. Although without the

200
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: models being you know, in the right mindset and having

201
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 1: support and and being safe, then everything starts to fall apart.

202
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: And we definitely, you know, came in there with that focus.

203
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 1: I mean we we even you can probably know this

204
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: as well too. Models. A lot of people would I

205
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: couldn't believe this when I tell them that's on the

206
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: traditional payment cycle for a model after job is thirty days,

207
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: sixty sometimes ninety and even sometimes this far out as

208
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: a hundred and eighty days after the job they get paid.

209
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: And I saw a contract recently where where the model

210
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: showed me with a traditional agency that said, in bold letters,

211
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: all caps, you will be the last to be paid.

212
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: Do not keep asking for teaming. You will get paid,

213
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: but you are the low inline. And I'm like, I said,

214
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,439
Speaker 1: the modeling industry and the models of the reason the

215
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,719
Speaker 1: jobs are happening. And yet the models the lost when

216
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: to be paid. And we said, no, that's gonna stop.

217
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: And we pay the models the same day as the shoot.

218
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: So we we just said everything, we wrote everything out

219
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: and we just said we're changing at all. We we

220
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: do seven customers assistance. We have a button called agent

221
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 1: Assist in our app. If the model needs anything, we're there.

222
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: We're there. Um, we give a guarantee to the clients

223
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: whoever did that modeling. I mean, we say you're gonna

224
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: be you're gonna love what we're doing, or don't use

225
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: this again, and we're gonna give your money back. Um,

226
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: we're standing behind us and we can't do it alone

227
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: to the models. You know, you said, and I'm glad

228
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 1: you brought that up because You're right, quite rank thing.

229
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: It really is not a trivial feed to get twenty

230
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: tho models and a few you know, and so many

231
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: months to write to sir, and you know people are

232
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 1: from everyone, whether it's an interview or from an investor.

233
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: How did you guys do that? And I said, by

234
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: by offering something that everyone wants, that they need, that

235
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: they aspire, that is going to support them. And I

236
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: have to say, it's kind of like putting water in

237
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 1: the desert. Everyone's going to come to the water because

238
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 1: you need it. And and we're providing something and they're

239
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: telling they're telling everyone this is what we don't feel

240
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: a good current industry. We don't feel supported, we don't

241
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: feel safe. And when someone comes up and gives them

242
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: a solution, um, they all want to be part of it.

243
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,079
Speaker 1: Just playing everybody highs and broken down? It's broken down

244
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: by age? Is it broken down by body type? Is

245
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: it broken browns? Because you have different levels of model.

246
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: You're gonna actually models, but that print model, you're gonna

247
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: have hand models, you can have foot models. You know

248
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: what they call parts modeling. So how does house the

249
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: apple can down? So we can just give people a

250
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: sense of if they have children who want to be

251
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: all part of the app or that limited do their

252
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: parents have to have the co sign on that and

253
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: put release forms break down to everybody who doesn't have

254
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: the app in front of them here and this for

255
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: the first half so they can get excited about the process. Sure. Sure,

256
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,199
Speaker 1: So first of all with with the agent, because you

257
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: know there is not that's with our company agents. UM,

258
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: you have to be eighteen or And the reason for

259
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: that is we just know that when you have someone

260
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 1: under eighteen, someone has to be there with them. They

261
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: should be there, They should not be going to jobs

262
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: on their own. And we don't want we can't really

263
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: control that element, so we focus on eighteen years old

264
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 1: and older. And we are about optionte diversity. I mean,

265
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 1: this is a changing world one not only because it's changing,

266
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,439
Speaker 1: but because it should change, and we are going to

267
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: be we want to be one of the forces behind

268
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:03,559
Speaker 1: change and people really being accepting of more diversity UM

269
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: in the lolling industry. And that's whether it be plus

270
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: size models or or you know, someone said, what is

271
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: the criteria because the other reality, which a lot of

272
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: people don't like to hear, but everyone is not a

273
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: model and it's just like, I am not going to

274
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: play basketball for for you know, uh, just the Rockets

275
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: or for the Gallas play I mean it's a Lakers

276
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: because it's just not gonna happen. To agree it and

277
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: I can be changed that dreams from the time on three.

278
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: But I'm not tall enough and I'm not good enough,

279
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: and even if I want it, it's not gonna happen.

280
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: That's the unfortunate. But we all need to find the

281
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: things that were great at and pursue those. And everyone's

282
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: not a model, and our criteria is very simple. Do

283
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: we believe someone would book them? We don't go through

284
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: this all this, you know, it's like and it could

285
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: be charisma, could be that smile, could be their eyes.

286
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: We have models who have padded sleeves on both both

287
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: arms and down their neck, and we we are there's

288
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: no judgmental part of this. It is a business, and

289
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: we also want the models to able to get to work,

290
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: and we want the clients, especially the ones with the

291
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: progressive mindsets. I mean, in in a few years, that's

292
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: you know, if the banks, the traditional banks aren't hiring

293
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: models that resonate with the linnials, they're gonna lose their

294
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: entire customers marching customer base. So we we're providing that,

295
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: we're providing the opportunity for the models, and quite frankly,

296
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, you know, the clients

297
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: are much better off of what we're doing when we

298
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: charged less. We charged seventy less to the clients than

299
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: a traditional agency for our fees, So it's like a

300
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: massive discount. We guarantee it. Plus we're doing the right thing.

301
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: And a lot of companies are out there here every day,

302
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: you know, whether it's you know, in the morning news

303
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: or labrary TV uh eight times late night TV shows,

304
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: companies out there talking about them taking a stance, whether

305
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: it's because of me too, whether it's because you know

306
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: hertling put everything on the map, or they just have
