Because I was talking to Samantha, one 55 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: of my producers. I said, I'm not gonna get any 56 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: product where I got it on Friday. This is what 57 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 1: I did. This is what I did. So you know 58 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 1: the seafood, right, So so first I went to the 59 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: store to see and I thought about frying me up 60 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: to shrimps. Right. That was work. Yeah, because this I did, 61 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: We're gonna go too good. I mean that I don't 62 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: fry much.

They have a shrimp pole bar and Papa 65 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: Does and every time they go in there, I tell 66 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: them to lay on the tartar sauce. Well guess what 67 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: I told them, hold the tatter sauce this time, baby, 68 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,119 Speaker 1: because I brought my pull my little jar out. Dude 69 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: looking way to look at me like I was crazy. Hey, 70 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: don't worry about it, brother, I got my own taller sauce. 71 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: Did I ordered me some cocktails, some shrimp cocktails.

I'm in there at the table 74 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: waiting and ready to go. Girl. I had a great time. 75 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: Your sauces are tremendous.

I always asked for tomatoes. I would say, 78 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: I want tomatoes with my Just be real with you, 79 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 1: that's how I eat. You have a great product, tell 80 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,479 Speaker 1: us how you got started from your you know, just 81 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 1: two breaks here, So I want you to take your 82 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 1: time because you're on inspiration. Walter Nash hooked us up 83 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: because he said, you gotta talk to her because the 84 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 1: story needs to be told to everybody in the world, 85 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: and this is the first step. You should do more interviews. 86 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 1: Tell us about your products. Okay, So I got started. 87 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: Originally I was making the sauce in my chitchen because 88 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: I'm a seaful eater, so I didn't like to dip 89 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: it in vinegar or butter. So I concocted some things 90 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: that were in the refrigerator and it became a hit 91 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: with FA and friends. So your refrigerator and started making 92 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: up stuff that was it. Yeah, I went a little 93 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 1: catch up little man name exactly, and it turned out 94 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: to be a blessing from God because then my friends 95 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 1: and family they loved it, and they kept coming back 96 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: for when they went to different events. So they were 97 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: having a company. And so from there I heard the 98 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 1: spirited Lord sayble didn't sell it, and I was like duh, 99 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: because I didn't have any intent for it to become 100 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: a company. It was just it was pleasing to me 101 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: as well as my friends. Again, and from there I 102 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: began petition in grocery stores, and obviously I did it 103 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: wrong initially, um kind of you went from in your 104 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 1: kitchen messing around your refrigerator, now you're in grocery store. 105 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: Like that's a step between that now because you know, 106 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,799 Speaker 1: because the getting your product, did you start selling it 107 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: affairs and local places? You do? How did you got 108 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: Did you get the point that you could sell this 109 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 1: and make money off of it? When did that come 110 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: into your head in sales? Yes, sir, the initial sales 111 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,919 Speaker 1: from family and friends coming through here with kitchen and 112 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: there tupperware dishes, so I would start selling five dollars 113 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: to them like that. So then I went around to 114 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: the seafood market and with my tupperware dish, which was 115 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:21,799 Speaker 1: wrong because you know you've got to be FDA proved 116 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 1: and all this kind of stuff. But mart you going 117 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:31,159 Speaker 1: around a tuplewere dish, try to get somebody and sale 118 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: all the truth here, all true tupaware dish. So I 119 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: went through this one piece of ventral avenue, and I 120 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: and which in him and I knew each other because 121 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 1: I frequent them for his craft. He said was tipically, 122 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: if you get it in the right kind of jar, 123 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: then I'll sell it for you because it is good. 124 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: So from there I researched. You have to mask craft. 125 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: That's extremely important. I researched on how to bottle, how 126 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 1: to label, and I would go in grocery stores and 127 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: I would look at them, the labels and seeing, well, 128 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 1: where's the distributor, where's the manufactor, just to get some 129 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: sort of idea, because I honestly had no knowledge of it. 130 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: And and from there I petitioned Johnny. I got some jars, 131 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: and I got the wrong kind of jars. Again, I 132 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: did it wrong, sent the product and Giant, and Giant said, man, 133 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: we're not eating this. This isn't great. We're not no, 134 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: this isn't right. And then here comes Walter Nation and 135 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: the rest is her story. Yep, and I got in. Um. 136 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: So I was local for a long time. Um first 137 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: about eight years of really nine years, I was local, 138 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: and we just got um, we just got national attention. 139 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: So oh Lord, thank you God. So yeah, now now no, 140 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: not Tiffany. First of all, we stopped walking around, okay, 141 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: because in and out, you know, I need you to 142 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: stay station there.

Who are you working with? 145 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just curious because it's called money making conversations, 146 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: and I tried to own this show let people hear 147 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: how success stories are being built and so so you 148 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: were just out there googling.

Before we left on 231 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: that last break, you really got really serious and I 232 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: was happy to hear that about the rules of that 233 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: you have to abide by just because you have a 234 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: good idea in this case food products. Reiterate what you 235 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 1: was talking about when you when you went out there 236 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 1: and you realized, because that's what stops a lot of 237 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 1: people because why guys has been money now or they 238 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: don't want to claim racism, they're claim a lot of 239 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,199 Speaker 1: their claim of sexism. They claim a lot of excuses. 240 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: But there are rules that you have to buy by. 241 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: Please talk about that. So you're you're absolutely correct to 242 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: Ms McDonald as far as the rules and food which 243 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,439 Speaker 1: should be um, what should be very much so respective 244 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 1: because I mean, again, you're feeding someone they could just sick. 245 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: Bottom line, you know, BacT really grows every seven seconds 246 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: on food and even quicker on food that's not properly handled. 247 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 1: So at that point, you know you have to go 248 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: through FDA. You gotta you know, get a chemist. You 249 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: need to you know, be in a commercialized kitchen really, 250 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 1: so a copack or a manufactor you know, you can't 251 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: you can't expect where you say, folkous think it's racism 252 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 1: or they're think, you know whatever it may be um 253 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: prejudicing whatever form of fashion. But you can't really get 254 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: into that because you're not an attractive company. You're not 255 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 1: you know, you you haven't met the standard, so and 256 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 1: that you're not going to be picked up by investors 257 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 1: or you know whomever or grocery stores. In my case, 258 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: I had to get to the point, you know, if 259 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: that's what you want, then I had to trust the journey, 260 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 1: be persevere, and I had to just continue down the 261 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: process and know that at the end, if if if 262 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 1: I do my part, and I know that God is 263 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: going to take you even further.
