So I've been a tinker my whole life. 48 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: I've been, you know, an entrepreneur since I was twenty one. 49 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: I'm not dirty six. And um, before this, I was 50 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: big into the insurance world. And uh, I was, you know, 51 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 1: one of the top salesman in Texas for life and 52 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: health and and stuff like that, you know, in the 53 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: insurance world.

I mean they 55 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: dropped our commissions hardcore. And I saw that ship sinking, 56 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: you know on my and and so I started to 57 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 1: invest my money into UM, into machines, into CE and 58 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: C machines, laser machines, anything that was computer guided, and 59 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: UM it was a lot of fun molds and stuff 60 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 1: where they called the u um plastic molds or injection molds. 61 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: So for the polar Blast, I actually did create the 62 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: first mold myself.

I am 130 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: at long believer. I went about it with respect. I said, 131 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: it's my you know, I put my hands behind my back. 132 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: I went through it because I knew that. I mean, 133 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: the way they went about it. They searched the girls, 134 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: you know, they made them pull their brawls open, and 135 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: it was all men, you know, it was no female 136 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 1: police officers. And so I fought it in court that 137 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: they went about it incorrectly, and the judge went ahead 138 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: and said, I'm gonna put you on probation for four months, 139 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 1: and if you're you're good, you're clean, you're off.

You know, Texas is a 142 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 1: great place, man, I mean, you know, honestly, Uh, there's 143 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: a few destinations that I would even consider moving to 144 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: in Texas with one of them, you know. And I 145 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: guess you guys probably know that because all the California 146 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: folks are going out that way right man. Our our 147 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: housing market has increased substantially. I mean, they're coming out 148 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: there with cash, buying these houses that you all have 149 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: out here for a million dollars or buying them down 150 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: there for a hundred grand, you know, in good parts 151 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: of the community. And and um, I mean we welcome everybody, 152 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Texas is a big place. 153 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: And the other thing that we're bringing to Texas is 154 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: we're trying to bring everybody outside of you know, out 155 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: of China manufacturing. These are actually manufactured in my hometown, 156 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: and so we're actually trying to bring a lot of 157 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: brands and ideas to fruition through America as opposed to 158 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: sending them off to China and being Chinese made. And 159 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: so in my hometown. If if we can't mass produce it, 160 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,559 Speaker 1: we're sending it right across the border to Mexico because 161 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: we have a trade agreement with Mexico where we can 162 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 1: be manufacturing right on that side and it's still made 163 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: in America, but you're you're able to operate at the 164 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: Mexican cost of living, which is far lower than the 165 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 1: United States.

So before Obamacare 207 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: and all that got really big, we were whatever you're 208 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 1: paying for your life insurance, for your health insurance. Um, 209 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: we would make of your your premium. So that was 210 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,679 Speaker 1: my commission. As long as you had that, I was 211 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: making that. But any problem you had, I was able 212 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 1: to fix it. Okay, Well, after Obamacare and all that 213 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: went through, I mean they dropped it down to three 214 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: What I was selling in you know, a day was 215 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:32,680 Speaker 1: equal to what I was being able to sell in 216 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 1: a month with the other way, you know, and um, 217 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 1: it was really Um, you're able. You're used to one 218 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: lifestyle and your your your commissions dropped down to next 219 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: to nothing. And now I'm not able to fix your problems. 220 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 1: Now I'm not able to help you because he wanted 221 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 1: it done a certain way, and so we're paid that. 222 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:57,959 Speaker 1: You know. Um that residual income were paid a big 223 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: lump sum check one time per year. Okay, So when 224 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,959 Speaker 1: I didn't get that check, you know, it's it's in 225 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,839 Speaker 1: our contract that they can terminated us for anything. And 226 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 1: when Obamacare and all that was going into you know, 227 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: the transition, Um, they stopped our sales and um, you know, 228 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: the entrance company lost a lot of money. So when 229 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: when I didn't get that big commission check, I was 230 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:27,319 Speaker 1: really surprised, like, what the hell happened? You know? And 231 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,679 Speaker 1: when when I reached out to them, they were like, oh, 232 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 1: well you didn't click the button to to renew your contract. 233 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,199 Speaker 1: I said, what button? What are you talking about? I 234 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: did all my continuing education in the summer, like I 235 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 1: always do. They said no. Between the week of Christmas 236 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:44,199 Speaker 1: and New Year's UM they sent out a an email 237 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: asking you, if you wanted to renew your contract, you 238 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: have to click this button. If you didn't want to 239 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 1: renew your contract, you were terminated. Your residual income has terminated. 240 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: Everything is terminated. All of us go on vacation during 241 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 1: that week. No one checks their email during that week, 242 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 1: you know. And so UM lost that recidual income because 243 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 1: I did not click that button. And I know a 244 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: lot of people that lost hundreds of thousands of dollars 245 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,199 Speaker 1: and residuals. And there was nothing we can do because 246 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 1: in our contract it said they could terminate without cause 247 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 1: at any time they needed to, just to and I 248 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 1: couldn't sue them. I could nothing. And so I had 249 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 1: actually created the polar Blast. I I learned how to 250 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 1: do CAD work and three D printing pretty much overnight 251 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: and I um made the first lid you know. Um, 252 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 1: with help from a couple of friends, I was able 253 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,199 Speaker 1: to three D print the first lid you know within 254 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 1: a couple of nights. And um, so I had already 255 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: created it for myself and my buddies kept coming over 256 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:44,439 Speaker 1: and they loved it. But in my world of the customization, 257 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 1: I wanted to be high end and I couldn't incorporate 258 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,559 Speaker 1: high end gifts with cannabis in Texas. I mean, that 259 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: just didn't happen. And um, when I lost that residual income, dude, 260 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,199 Speaker 1: I was crying my eyes out. I didn't tell my wife, 261 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: I didn't tell my family, I didn't tell anybody. And um, 262 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: I was crying on on FaceTime with my best friend. 263 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 1: My best friend loves about four hours away, and I 264 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: was telling him like, what the hell am I gonna do? 265 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: I can't make jewelry boxes to make ten grand a month. 266 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: I mean I could sell one two jewelry boxes a month, 267 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,680 Speaker 1: but not ten grand work, you know, and you know, 268 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 1: and here here I'm like, smoke, what do I do? 269 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: You know?

And you know, 655 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:10,920 Speaker 1: I took my first rip and I was blowing away. 656 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:12,480 Speaker 1: You know, one thing we tell people, we had a 657 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,760 Speaker 1: warning label your first rip. You gotta take it lightly. 658 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,920 Speaker 1: You know, Um, that first rip is a doozy because 659 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,000 Speaker 1: being that it's so cold, it is way colder than 660 00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:26,719 Speaker 1: a glass bong with ice, like way way colder. So 661 00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 1: being that it's so cold, and I have asthma, and 662 00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,120 Speaker 1: that's why I needed to have you know, the coldest 663 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 1: smoke possible, because I coughed my brains out. Um. You 664 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 1: know that first rip, I was blowing out. You know, 665 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,920 Speaker 1: smoke had to inhale and continue blowing out because there 666 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:45,200 Speaker 1: was so much smoking. I got so ripped. And you 667 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:49,480 Speaker 1: know this is with Texas off the truck down from 668 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,840 Speaker 1: Mexico weed. And so the first time we go, the 669 00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,480 Speaker 1: first time we go to Vegas, you know, uh, to 670 00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:57,719 Speaker 1: show it off. When we went to Champs, I had 671 00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:02,440 Speaker 1: never had you know, um, top shelf weed before. You know, 672 00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,799 Speaker 1: I just dude, we were still thirty five a g 673 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 1: you know, and so um. We go to the dispensary 674 00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:11,440 Speaker 1: and I'm like, so how much is this one and 675 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 1: that one? They're like, oh, this is the best one, 676 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 1: and it's thirteen dollars a graham. And I looked at 677 00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,360 Speaker 1: my wife. I was thirteen dollars a graham, give me 678 00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:22,279 Speaker 1: one of everything on the top row. And so we 679 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:26,080 Speaker 1: get back to the hotel and to me, a normal 680 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,759 Speaker 1: rip was one bowl. So you know, to me, I 681 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 1: would take two bowls and then you know, go about 682 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:32,759 Speaker 1: my night. So I told my wife, you know, we'll 683 00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:34,919 Speaker 1: get back to the hotel. It's about midnight at this point. 684 00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:36,759 Speaker 1: Tell her. I was like, I'm gonna take a couple 685 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:38,440 Speaker 1: of rips and then we'll go out looking for food. 686 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 1: Well we're on like the fiftie floor, and you know, 687 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,120 Speaker 1: I took my couple of rips. We get to the elevator. 688 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:48,040 Speaker 1: The elevator shoots down and I cool like this. I 689 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:51,160 Speaker 1: was like, sweetheart, hold my hand. I don't think I've 690 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,440 Speaker 1: ever been the stone in my life, you know, different, different, 691 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 1: different qualities.
