This is not my area 14 00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:00,639 Speaker 1: of expertieus at all my man um. First of all, 15 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,320 Speaker 1: we have Milan and Demand Crump today in the Trap 16 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 1: at the owners and creative of jewel pads.

Well, a lot 18 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: of people, man, they're blown away when they find out 19 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 1: a man is behind a female product like this, but 20 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 1: a very intimate absolutely absolutely, but obviously, uh, female cycles 21 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,679 Speaker 1: every month. Women have cycles every month. So that's one 22 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: of the things we wanted to get into in our 23 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: entrepreneur endeavors. We wanted to get in a necessity field, 24 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,680 Speaker 1: you know, something that you didn't have to keep reselling 25 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: over and over again. And we created a better mousetrap 26 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: for women and young girls monthly that's on their cycles 27 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: and that we're panty liners because our products contain a 28 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: Nobel Prize winning material, our absorbency system, and we've had 29 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 1: a lot of success because we demonstrated and we show 30 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: people how good it is versus telling them that's been 31 00:01:55,480 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: our secret sauce that's been putting us over the hump. Yes, sir, yes, 32 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: sir man, it's been a blessed business man. Man. How 33 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: did this come about? Well, actually, uh uh, some guys 34 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: called me to come to Tampa. You know, I'm always 35 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 1: looking for new ideas investments, and they called me and said, man, 36 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: you need to come see this. The best thing they 37 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 1: could have done. He never told me what it was, 38 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: so I'm glad they didn't because I wouldn't have went 39 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: and didn't told me sanitary napkis man. Come on, I'm 40 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: gonna hang up the phone, and they said, just trust me, 41 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 1: come see this. So I went down to Tampa, Florida, 42 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 1: and um, when they pulled out the pad, I was 43 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:32,519 Speaker 1: about to get up and walk out because obviously I 44 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: got a wife and three daughters, so I'm familiar with 45 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 1: you know, sanitary napkals and something. Say stay here and watch. 46 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: They did the demonstration. Blew me away. I said, we 47 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: just changed the world for women. When I saw that 48 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: demo of the product, we took it and we never 49 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: looked back ever since. Man, it took things to the 50 00:02:49,440 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: next level with it. You've never been loss for words, man, 51 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: I've been this is education. Yeah, man, so it's been 52 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,959 Speaker 1: really really good with it. I never expected this. Yeah, 53 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 1: it's surprising because a lot of people don't realize that. 54 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: First of all, women are your biggest consumers. That's number one. 55 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: And when you have a product, a necessity product that's 56 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: catered to women, you got a grand slam and especially 57 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: something that helps keep them comfortable and dry during that 58 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: time of monther. And actually even my mother for example, 59 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: my mother is eighty one years old, but she wear 60 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: our pantilners every day. See, these are things that they do. 61 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: And this has been a truly corporate dominated space. You know, 62 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: your big major fortune company. I mean literally, they make 63 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: billions of dollars off of saying the terry napers and 64 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: pantiliners as and as minorities. U nobody would have ever 65 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: thought to look at this arena. So right now we 66 00:03:55,960 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: are the only African American owned saying sanenitary napin depending 67 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: on the company, in the world right now and well 68 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: man in the world right now. Man, So we kind 69 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: of carved out our space in it. What's the difference? 70 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: What the difference is? We have a Nobel Prize winning 71 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: material called graphite. The two gentlemen that discovered graphite in 72 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: two thousand and four, they want a Nobel Prize for 73 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: the two thousand and ten. So people thought we were 74 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,359 Speaker 1: losing our mind, Like, dude, you you're putting a Nobel 75 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 1: Prize winning material in something women are gonna discard and 76 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: get rid of. But they underestimated the lives of these 77 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: women out there, man, because a lot of our wives, 78 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: our daughters, are granddaughters. We don't realize what they go 79 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: through monthly. Like for me, as an example, as a man, 80 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: and I be transparent, my wife handled all that. I 81 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,679 Speaker 1: didn't know nothing about what she went through. My daughters 82 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 1: when you know, as a man, you know, were waiting 83 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,720 Speaker 1: on a girl, come on, when you're gonna be finished, 84 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 1: you know, waiting on that little week to go by, 85 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: or whatever the case may be. And it wasn't until 86 00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: I got educated when I started going all around the country. 87 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: It all around the world. I've been to Jenique, Jamaica, Triniday, 88 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: and I'm talking about in terms of doing what we 89 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: call focus groups, and I started understanding with these women 90 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 1: and these young girls going through It was bringing tears 91 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: to my eyes and I'm like, man, they're literally out 92 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: there destroying how are women? For example, in the United 93 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: States alone, man, we have six hundred thousand hysterectomies that 94 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: are done every year on average, the majority of them 95 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: black women. Because now doctors can't figure out why they 96 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 1: cramped so bad and different things that they do, so 97 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 1: they're literally just yanking these kids and these children wounds out, 98 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,720 Speaker 1: they can't have kids. But it's all because of the 99 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 1: chemicalization of these tampons and sanitary naptals that they have 100 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: on the shelves. After We've done our research and and 101 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: doctors have educated us, so now for us, man, were 102 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 1: godsend for a lot of women. I mean, the testimonies, 103 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: the business that we're getting is mind blowing. On now 104 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 1: we've changed the game for them because now they do 105 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: have a better solution and they don't have to go 106 00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 1: through the solid suffering that they deal with on the 107 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: play basis. Man, what's this box you get right here? 108 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,799 Speaker 1: That's right, there's just a sample box about product meaning 109 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: that you know, in terms of how we look at 110 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: about branding and our logo on it.
