48
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: while we're waiting for this boiling water to boil hopefully

49
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: sooner than later. Um, where are you from? Originally I'm

50
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: from Philly. Is that where the love for Italian ice

51
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:31,399
Speaker 1: came in? Yeah? So, uh, happy ice is Philadelphia water ice.

52
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: So it's it's a product I was raised on. So

53
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: you know, when I came out here and noticed that,

54
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: you know, the product wasn't here, I was like going

55
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: through withdraw. I was like, oh man, like, no way,

56
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta introduce, you know, I gotta introduce

57
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: California to authentic fill water ice on top of me

58
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: just wanting it for myself. So um yeah, so that's

59
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: when happy Ice came to life, the idea, and uh

60
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: I just went right for it. Yeah. Growing up and

61
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: I'm from New York and growing up in New York,

62
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: that is the signature treat I didn't I did not

63
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,519
Speaker 1: know originally until I was older that it was from Philly.

64
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if it originated from Philly or Philly

65
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: had their own and then New York had their own.

66
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: I think, I think, I think honestly, like there's no

67
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: real history on time. I mean, like Philadelphia water is

68
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, if you look it up. Um,

69
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: but I think it's just that Philly just does it

70
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: a certain way. Because Italian ice and you know New

71
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: York Italian ice and whatter ice is different, Like what

72
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: do ice has like a certain texture to it. You

73
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Oh, there's a differences in a texture.

74
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: So like Italian ice is more like icy, and then

75
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: like Philadelphia water ice is more so like I find

76
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:45,119
Speaker 1: like almost cream like, like smooth like texture. That's why

77
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: when I eat yours, it never has a chunk in it.

78
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: Right in New York, if you eat them, there's a

79
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: chunk like you'll you'll bite until like a harder piece

80
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: of it. But when I eat yours, it's smoothed all

81
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: the way there. It's like a smooth texture. It's like

82
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: it's just it's a difference. It's a difference. So you

83
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: have perfected that. I definitely perfected that. Um So, you

84
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: know that has been that has been our our our

85
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: state one happy ice, that texture. A lot of people

86
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: have been blown away by that. Yeah yeah, m So

87
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: did you always know since you were a little you

88
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: were gonna get into happy ice? Or they're like pivots

89
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: along the way? No, see, I wanted, like a lot

90
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: of people kind of like, I'm not stuck to one thing.

91
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 1: Um Like, for me, I think I'm a hustler. I

92
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: called myself a hut. Entrepreneur is a word, but I'm

93
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: a hustler, you know what I'm saying. So it don't

94
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: matter what I sell. I feel like whatever I set

95
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: my mind to, I'm gonna do it. So like, you know,

96
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: happy actually just an idea that I felt like I

97
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: was filling a void in the market of California. So

98
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: that's why I did that. But you know, no, it's

99
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 1: not I didn't grow up thinking I was gonna do happy.

100
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: I just always knew I was gonna grow up and

101
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: do something, and this just happening to be, you know,

102
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: one of my one of my first steps, and it

103
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: happened to be a big step for me. What caused

104
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: Mike from Philly to call. Uh, you know a lot

105
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: just the environment that I was in, you know where

106
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: I'm from. It's like, uh, it's just rough, you know

107
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It's rough. You know. I lost a

108
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: lot of I looked at, like basically the history of

109
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: my family, and a lot of people in my family

110
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 1: like got life in jail or even got killed. My

111
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: dad got life in jail. Um, his brother died in

112
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: jail from life in jail, you know. Um, So it's

113
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: like and then a lot of my friends got killed

114
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 1: growing up. And then the last, the last thing that

115
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 1: made me jump from Philly to l A was my

116
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: brother passed away, not from getting killed, but died in

117
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 1: a motorcycle accident. And um, Like, basically my brother was

118
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: a risk taker. So when he passed away, I was like, damn,

119
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: you know, that's one of the things I took from him.

120
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: And I was like, he died at twenty seven, and

121
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: I decided, Man, I don't know when I'm going passed away,

122
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: so I need to go after the things that I

123
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: told myself I want to do. And I like, it

124
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: was one of the things in my list that was

125
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: a dream, and so I was like, man, I'm going

126
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 1: for it, you know, so I just literally jumped here

127
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: with nothing um. I had a friend of living colarbasses.

128
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 1: It's just like super far um too. It was too

129
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: far from where I was trying to work at, which

130
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: is on myl Roads, where the story is like at today,

131
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: and so I used to sleep in the tattoo shop

132
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: on myl Roads, a little bit of like send my homelessness,

133
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: and there I was, send my homelessness. It was some

134
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: days where I was actually actually really homeless too, where

135
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: I was like why I really had to sleep in

136
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: the tattoo shop because I had to sleep in the

137
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: tattoo shop, like I didn't have no other other place

138
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: to go. Okay, okay, So you went from tattoos and

139
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: then you were like this need is this this void

140
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: is here? Yeah, and I just went after it. What

141
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: did that transition look like? Was there? Semi? Was it

142
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: just stacking chips on the tattoo side to really so

143
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: like part of me sleeping inside of the tattoo shot

144
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 1: was the fact that you know, I had cash, but

145
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: I didn't have cash to spend. I needed all the

146
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: money that I had to pick towards you know, the

147
00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: dream or a goal. You know what I'm saying I

148
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: didn't have have like I didn't have cash flow coming in,

149
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: but I had cash flow. I had cash saved from

150
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 1: when I was in Philadelphia. So I didn't want to

151
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: I didn't want to like burn all of that trying

152
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: to you know, lift this Los Angeles lifestyle. I was like, man,

153
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: I gotta figure something out so I can actually you know,

154
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: be comfortable here. So, um, I basically took all the

155
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: money I had from tattooing and invested it all in

156
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: the AMPI ice what I'm saying. So it was like

157
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: I think at the time, I probably had like around

158
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: like I would say, like right from because I was

159
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: a popular tattoo artists in Philly and it cost seventy

160
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: five to get hack that I started. So I was

161
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: like tattooing, flying back the Philly tattoo and just going

162
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: through the whole struggle like trying to get the rest

163
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: of that money to get to what I needed to do. Now,

164
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: how did you predict that it would cost seventy five grand?

165
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: By the way, your food smells good already, Yeah, yeah,

166
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: hopefully we won't set off some sprinklers in this building,

167
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: but we should be good. Um, So how did you

168
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: predict that. Were you a business, like, did you start

169
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: writing business plans the business element there? No, No, I

170
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: had no business experience. I struggled the whole way. I

171
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: made so many mistakes. Started Happy Ice. I made a

172
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: mistake from the moment I started Happy Ice. The first

173
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: mistake I made was I went down to the city hall,

174
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: I mean city all down here, and I registered for

175
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: the name Happy Ice. Like when I first thoughted, I

176
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: did see but for new business owners, new business owners, uh,

177
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: if you ever want to like just ensure that you

178
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: can have a name, like just go reserved the name.

179
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: Reserving the name is like that the city will just

180
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: hold it for you and you pay like a little

181
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: small fear and be like, just reserve the name. I

182
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: went down there and I actually got the name like officials.

183
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: So when I did that, it's basically when I did that,

184
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: it was saying I'm open for business. So it took

185
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: me a year and a half to get Happy Ice open.

186
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: So when I want to go file taxes for the

187
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: first time, I had all these penalties because I didn't

188
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: you know, I never filed from when I from the

189
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: initial time when I started a business, So I had

190
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: like three grain and penalties like tax. Now I thought myself,

191
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: I thought the first year you filed because I did

192
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: the same thing a bunch of times, and they eventually

193
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:14,839
Speaker 1: caught up with me and I got leans on all

194
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: my stuff. But I heard that the first year or

195
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: I was able to and this could have been prior

196
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 1: to your or after somewhere over there, But the first

197
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: year usually they have a forgivable Yeah, it's like, so

198
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: some of this stuff they forgave me on, but some

199
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: stuff not. They were like, no, so it was some

200
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: stuff for sure, they gave me a break on. They

201
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: gave me a break on some stuff because it was

202
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: like you said, the first year, but it was some

203
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,319
Speaker 1: parts of it. No, it wasn't forgivable. So you lost

204
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: money right there. From day one, I lost money. Was

205
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: there ever like a movie you made where you're like, Okay,

206
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: that's it, the pot is empty, We're done. We're not

207
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: gonna be able to get this ship off the ground,

208
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: or did you get it off the ground? And then

209
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: it was a point where I was scared. Man. I

210
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: I always shedding tears. Um. So when I got here,

211
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,719
Speaker 1: my idea was to ship product from Philly to l

212
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: A and so I thought that all I needed. So

213
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: when I got here, I made the decision of Okay,

214
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 1: I actually want to make the product myself. Then I

215
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 1: don't have to rely on somebody to send me product

216
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: because if if they slip up, then it has shut

217
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: down the whole business. Because I want to have a product,

218
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: So I invest. I had to get save the money

219
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: up to get the machines, and a long story short,

220
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: the first day that we UM decided to do like

221
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: a little soft opening with our friends or whatever, Um,

222
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: the machines didn't work. So it was like I was

223
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: already getting like hammered so bad by health department. Um.

224
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: When I first got the truck. I had got the

225
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: truck built from Philly and bring it here and the

226
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: health code regulations are totally different, so the truck wasn't

227
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: able to get pass from health inspection. They made me

228
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: like redo all this off in the truck. I didn't

229
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: have the money for that, you know. So like so

230
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,719
Speaker 1: now I'm like I'm like losing my mind, like I'm

231
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: stressed the hell out, and it's like you know, um,

232
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: so I had to go. I had to like grind

233
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: up try and make some more money to pay for

234
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: the renovation to the truck so it can pass home.

235
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: And when you're grinding, you're tattooing. The whole time. I'm tattooing.

236
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: So I'm like either like trying to fly here. I'm

237
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: like not sleeping honestly, Like I'm like flying to this

238
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: this football player to tattoo him because they like paying

239
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 1: chunks to cash. I'm like going back to Philly. I'm

240
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: like going here, and then I go and spend the

241
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: money and I'm like and it's like so I'm like

242
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: making It's all these things that just like hit me

243
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: at one time, and like the truck happened, this happened,

244
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: and then I go to have like a little soft

245
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: opening and like the machine is not working, so like

246
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: we got people there no product at the little soft opening,

247
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: and like we had to get electrician and try and

248
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: figure this out and figure it out to see what's

249
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: wrong with the machine. And finally got one like one

250
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: of the machines that work a little bit, and we

251
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: had it still wasn't good because we brung down like

252
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: slush ice, like it wasn't like it wasn't it was

253
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: like all bad and it was just thing after the thing,

254
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: and I just remember like sitting there and my grandmama

255
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: and them flew out and I just been sitting there.

256
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: I just like I just broke down. Curry, did you actually?

257
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 1: I was about to ask was there a point where

258
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,839
Speaker 1: you were like tears and everything cring? Like I just

259
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: broke down? And then what were their words of encouragement

260
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: at the time, because I know they had some kind

261
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: of words, right, Yeah, my grandmom she's always been super supportive,

262
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,439
Speaker 1: even if even she also support me financially, like I know,

263
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: like it's it's multiple people in the world that got

264
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: that one person that are like come through them something front.

265
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: Sometimes that was my grandmam. So she just was more

266
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: so like she was a business on herself. So like

267
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: I'm like breaking down crying, like I don't know about

268
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: all the trials that you go through, right, and like

269
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 1: she has been through those things. So she looking at

270
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: me like, lat Mary, this is this is a part

271
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: of it, you know what I'm saying, Like, and she

272
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: just let me know, like like pull it together. This

273
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 1: is a part of the game. Like you wanted it,

274
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: you want to be in this life, this is a

275
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,239
Speaker 1: part of it. You gotta make it through these moments, right, here,

276
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: like you got it, pull it together. She said, look,

277
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: I gonna let you get five minutes, but in five minutes,

278
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,839
Speaker 1: you better wrap this up and we gotta get back

279
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: to it. Nice. Nice. She always she always been that

280
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: type of person. She she always said, like, okay, when

281
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 1: you in those moments, give yourself, she said, give yourself

282
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: a time limit. I'm gonna give you a time if

283
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: you're letting it out, and then when that time done,

284
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 1: you gotta wrap it up and we gotta keep going.

285
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: So I got my little five minutes, not wrap it up.

286
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 1: We hopped up when we kept going nice. Now, was

287
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: there ever a point you were driven to a scan like?

288
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: Probably the most scanless thing, because I feel like on

289
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 1: that journey you are always the depth. There's like the

290
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: angel on one tide and the devil's on the other side,

291
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: and you're at that crossroads and then you have the

292
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: devil knocking on the door, Like I have this one

293
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 1: scanless opportunity that gets you over the milestone? Did you

294
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: have one of those? And are you comfortable sharing scanless?

295
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 1: Because like, I'm a firm believer in like things come

296
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: back you I'm saying, so, like I don't steal from people.

297
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: I'm a honest person. You can under say in like so,

298
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: but it's I did take one major shirtcut that if

299
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: I did not do it, it probably wouldn't be happy. Yesterday,

300
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: I had went and got a townhouse, like a little

301
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: town house, like three story townhouse, and like, and I

302
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: had and I already knew, I knew my plan. I

303
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: had to find a townhouse that had a garage. You

304
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Because I was like, all right,

305
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: if I get a townhouse, we can live in there,

306
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: and also we can turn like the other couple of

307
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: floors into like inventory, like like holding stuff like cups, napkins.

308
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: And then I was like, I need a garage because

309
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: I need like a place to make the product. So

310
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: of course, like everybody know, like you're not supposed to

311
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: be making products side of a house, like health department,

312
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: that's not it. But I promised I was totally sanitary,

313
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: Like the garage is probably more sanitary than people's stories.

314
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: I get because people stories be raggedy. Like I had

315
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: this thing set up like a real laboratory, so you know,

316
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: I couldn't afford to go get a story. So I

317
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: had the house as like our office space. You know,

318
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 1: to hold st are all our different cups and like

319
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: products and inventory. And then also he's making products inside

320
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: the garage and I had like freezers in the garage.

321
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: I had like three phase converters for the electric to

322
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: like running machines, and like I turned into a full

323
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: laboratory and like that's what I was able to. I

324
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: use that for honestly, like for the first probably like

325
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: year and a half, like two years of half the

326
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: ice to like get it going. And yeah, that really

327
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: took me over the edge. Like sometimes you gotta do

328
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: what you gotta do. You definitely what are the next

329
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: steps in this? Meals next? All right? So now that's

330
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: now we're really good. These are done and got to

331
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: the point they don't bust open. So now they're supposed

332
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: to look sure, especially I like it when they look

333
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: like this. What we're gonna do now once they come out,

334
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: I go ahead and I cut this up. He's already

335
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: he's already like pretty much split. So I'm just gonna

336
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: cut them down the middle. I'm just gonna break these

337
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: in the little pieces. And they looks soft. Yeah, that

338
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: looks good. So while you're breaking them. So I've seen

339
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: will Smith I've seen. Actually, I was at a party

340

516
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 1: like for me, like successful to me is like really

517
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: making sure that my the generation after me is good,

518
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And it doesn't really have

519
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 1: a lot to do with like money, but more so

520
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: like me taking my time and like really going as

521
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,240

00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: knowledge is the real reason why people aren't successful. They

527
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: don't really have to do like with people not having

528
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: a good idea. A lot of people do have good ideas,

529
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 1: but they don't understand how to really execute that idea,

530
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: how to make that then come to reality. What steps

531
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 1: do you have to take? What steps shouldn't you take?

532
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, um So, like success to

533
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,600

00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 1: pivotal role in yes, definitely, definitely, definitely. Um When we

599
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: first started, half used like everything was from scratcher. Like

600
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 1: I was thinking brand in the beginning, but I didn't

601
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: have the money to to be it too invest into

602
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: like things that make a brand, so like to make

603
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 1: a brain what you need you need like Brandon's napkins,

604
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: Brandon Spoons, branded cups, like all these different things and right,

605
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: and I didn't have that. So, like, just to get

606
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,040

607
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: hours of sleep, especially me all the time, and she

608
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: would do the same thing with me a lot of times,

609
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 1: right because we used to have to make the product.

610
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: You know, Uh, let me get a quick walk through

611
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: of our day we will wake up in the morning.

612
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: We have to wake up around like seven thirty, right

613
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 1: seventh thirty. Get ready, get to the actual truck, the

614
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: Happy X truck at the commissary around like nine, Hop

615
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,959
Speaker 1: on the truck, take the truck out and be at

616
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: the location on Melrose by ten because we had to

617
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: get there before Merrow's got busy because it would be

618
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: no parking spots. Right, so we'll get there by ten

619
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,040
Speaker 1: right before everybody get there to get a parking. I

620
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: will open up around eleven, so we'll be open. And

621
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 1: when we first opened, we didn't we we didn't really

622
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: know about business hours. That wasn't even a thing, you

623
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. We just like man, we just

624
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: opened whenever it slowed down, and we're gonna close yea

625
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: once it drops to zero dollars an hour open. We

626
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 1: had a matter of fact, we had a closing time

627
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: and not really opening time, so we decided to stay

628
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: open late because it was a wing spot on the corner.

629
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 1: So we just stay open. So remember we was up

630
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 1: at seven, got down there attending m We used to

631
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 1: close that ten am. So we us just put me

632
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: and her used to put in twelve hours ship when

633
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: at ten at ten p m. When we closed, we

634
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: had to drive back to the commissary. We had to

635
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 1: clean up and drive back to the commissary. Let's say

636
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:40,719
Speaker 1: it's like let's say we're walking in the house at

637
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: eleven thirty. At eleven thirty, she would go right to

638
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: the kitchen and start labeling cups. We had like stickers,

639
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: like transparent stickers with half the ace on, and she

640
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: would like start labeling cups to replace the cups that

641
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: we had sold that day. And I would go down

642
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: in the basement and start making the ice. So she

643
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 1: will be up on the cups, be done or doing that.

644
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 1: She'll be coming to cash and she would probably let's

645
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: say she ended, and what's ready to go to sleep?

646
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: Back around like two, and then sometimes I'll be ready

647
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 1: at to but a lot of times I have to

648
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: go to like five, like especially for weekends because we

649
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 1: have busy weekends. So I'll be up to five in

650
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 1: the morning, and I get like a couple of hours

651
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 1: of sleep, maybe like two three, and hot right back

652
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: up and do it all over again. And this is

653
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 1: me and her all day. So like if I didn't

654
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: have her there to do like the other pieces like man,

655
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:27,959
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't know, like that would have been.

656
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 1: That would have been more of a struggle for me,

657
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: like trying to figure out how can I do all that?

658
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: And I'm not sure. You know, I probably would have

659
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: worked it out, but it would have been like I

660
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: don't know, I couldn't even tell you. And I'm happy

661
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: I'll never find out neither. Yeah, I love hearing like

662
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:48,560

663
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: for sure, And I wouldn't. I wouldn't have it no
