Those games sent the team's energy through the roof. 6 00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 1: Are you saying it was the off field play that 7 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:13,039 Speaker 1: made the difference on the field. 8 00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 3: Hey, little play makes your day, and today it made 9 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:16,279 Speaker 3: the game. 10 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: That's all for now, coach, one more question play than 11 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,119 Speaker 1: New Los Angeles Chargers, San Francisco forty nine ers and 12 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,440 Speaker 1: Los Angeles ram scratchers from the California Lottery. A little 13 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,480 Speaker 1: play can make your day. Peace made responsibilit must be 14 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,200 Speaker 1: eighteen years or older to purchase plate or claim. 15 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 4: And once again, can you kind of give us an example. 16 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 4: I think you spoke by the last time, but just 17 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,479 Speaker 4: to kind of make it real for people, you know, 18 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,480 Speaker 4: in your personal experience of people that you know, what's 19 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,840 Speaker 4: some of the more sizable contracts that you've seen people 20 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:45,279 Speaker 4: get an example? 21 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, So one one was definitely, like I said earlier, 22 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 5: that fifteen million dollar contract just for security services. Another 23 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 5: lady that I know, she has a company that does 24 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 5: logistics and she helped you find the will find lodging 25 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,320 Speaker 5: when you go to locations. So she has a company 26 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 5: that certified as a DVE firm, and she just won 27 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 5: a contract at the beginning of COVID to help help 28 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,680 Speaker 5: the government find lodging for people who were misplaced during COVID, 29 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,320 Speaker 5: And that one was like almost fifteen million dollars as well. 30 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,959 Speaker 5: And that's just to help people find and I think 31 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 5: it was up in New York now that I think 32 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 5: about it, but to help people find locations in you know, 33 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 5: different hotels. So all she really did was sourced to 34 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 5: find the lodging for them. Five million dollar contract just 35 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 5: two earlier, clean and service police vehicles. Yeah, oh, I 36 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 5: said dB. So that disadvantage Business Enterprise certification was one 37 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 5: that she had service and just clean police vehicles. 38 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 6: Fifteen million dollars, I meant five million dollar contract. 39 00:01:55,640 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 4: So and would you suggest that people go for government 40 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 4: like big government contracts or local contracts to start or both? 41 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 5: I would say both, but local because you will not 42 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 5: local because but local, Like it's like you said earlier, 43 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 5: you can build those relationships, you can get into the space. 44 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 6: At the federal level. There is a lot less. 45 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 5: Like red tape in terms of you know, how long 46 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 5: the process takes and how much well how long the 47 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 5: process takes in terms of you know, actually bidding and 48 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 5: going after these contracts. At the local level, it can 49 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 5: be a longer process, but I definitely say local one. 50 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 5: You have more say in what goes on locally. As 51 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 5: a business owner, you can also be like an active participant. 52 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 5: You spoke a little bit about, you know, politics at 53 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 5: the local level, right you being a business owner, that's 54 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,639 Speaker 5: something you should definitely be worrying about at the state 55 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 5: and at the local level. 56 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 6: That's somewhere that you could you know, use your business 57 00:02:58,720 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 6: influence as well. 58 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,679 Speaker 5: And then also ensuring that hey, you know you you 59 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 5: promise this, we need to go through a disparity study 60 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 5: or whatever the case may be. 61 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 6: Make sure that you're using that at the local level. 62 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 5: As well, so that I would definitely push people to 63 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,519 Speaker 5: start doing more local. We always see federal government contracting 64 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 5: opportunities and they will always be there, but you want 65 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 5: to solidify that space at the local level. 66 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 3: So you gave us one side. I know last time 67 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:26,920 Speaker 3: we spoke, we were talking about SAM dot GB and 68 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 3: that was for the federal contracts. Are there other sites 69 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 3: that we can use to find local contracts or do 70 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 3: we go federal? And then each state is different, right, 71 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 3: so he said, we got okay, got you, got you. 72 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 4: You literally just google your state or you gotta put 73 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 4: your city in Yeah, okay, Gotcha's like all right, you 74 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 4: know Yonkers New York contracts, right, something like that, government 75 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 4: contracts and then. 76 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 5: Contracts, procurement, purchasing or doing business. 77 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 4: With because every city has its own website. 78 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 3: But should create the data base for all of them. 79 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 4: You're working on that, yes, yes, yes, that's a good idea. 80 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 3: Right, So that way you have everything at one. All 81 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 3: I do is type my city and then things will 82 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 3: come up. Right. We don't have to. We wouldn't have to. 83 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 3: We can stay save a step by type and Google 84 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 3: and type in uh the actual city you want to 85 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 3: go to, and then trying to find a list of sites. 86 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 3: We have one database where city it comes all the contracts. 87 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 4: So the first the first step is to identify your 88 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 4: states or your town's website, go into portal and then 89 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 4: look to see what contracts is currently out there, what's available, 90 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 4: Get registered through the portal and then put your bidd 91 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 4: in right, and then network and then network with the people, 92 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 4: build the relationships and establish the line of communication and 93 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 4: start getting money from the government hopefully if if it 94 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 4: works out for you in that in that channels. 95 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 6: Right, Yeah, that's it. 96 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 5: That happens to all of those different agencies you talked 97 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 5: about the government, but the poored authorities, the airports, all 98 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 5: of those type into all of those opportunities. 99 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 4: Okay, so yes you have we have some questions. Now 100 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 4: we can do you have before we go to questions? 101 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 4: Do you have anything else you wanted to add to that? 102 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 6: No, I think that's it. I prefer the question is 103 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 6: usually because it gives me, you know, where people want 104 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 6: to go. 105 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, so this is this is this is another added 106 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 4: difference from Eyo University versus the podcast where it's an 107 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 4: interactive experience where I saw somebody say like this, ps 108 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 4: like collegists. That's how we try to name That's how 109 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 4: we named the Eyo University. So do the presentation speak show, 110 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 4: you know, screen share, stuff like that. But the most value, 111 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 4: how I learn the best is through asking questions. So 112 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 4: similar to like how Market Monday's works, we open it 113 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 4: up and then everybody who has a question has a 114 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 4: chance to raise their hand the next question. So this 115 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,719 Speaker 4: is what we're going to go to. Now we're gonna 116 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 4: get some questions answered. 117 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 3: Let's go to Anthony Adams.

So I honestly just when it 134 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 2: like like some personal like sauce like just I've probably 135 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 2: been registered registered for like a year.

I've been like, I know, you know 140 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 2: the basis of everything. I just can't win anything. 141 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 6: No, got it. And you've been beating on these contracts too, 142 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 6: or you were just tell me yes. 143 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 2: I like I said, I'm not the best of it 144 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 2: at it. 145 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 3: I got it. 146 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 2: Uh. I figured it out during the pandemic, like kind 147 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 2: of on my own through YouTube and Google after I 148 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 2: seen something about it on Instagram. So it was kind 149 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 2: of hard for me to like call and build them 150 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 2: relationships and ext those certain questions because you know, a 151 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 2: lot of stuff was closed and now everything opened it 152 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 2: back up. I'm trying to catch up. But it's like 153 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 2: I said, I'm not the best at bitting or trying 154 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 2: or pricing it. That's my biggest problem pricing. And like, 155 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 2: for example, you said the police car contract, I've seen 156 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 2: one of those from my city and it's like I 157 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 2: had no idea how to go about it, so I 158 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 2: missed it. 159 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 5: Okay, So usually your your issue is pricing. The best 160 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 5: thing for you to do would be to see what 161 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 5: the previous contracts were awarded for so you can request 162 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 5: that information about you know has this contract been awarded previously? 163 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 5: You can ask them multiple things. Has it been awarded previously? 164 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 5: Can the previous award e also bid on this contract? 165 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 5: That's another question you want to ask, But also ask 166 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 5: them what was the price for that past contract if. 167 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 6: It's never been awarded before. 168 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 5: A way that you could also do is go through 169 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 5: other companies to get quotes, right, ask these companies for 170 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 5: quotes to figure out how much you know this product 171 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 5: or services service actually costs, and then you can determine 172 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,839 Speaker 5: what your price or you know what your price will 173 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 5: be based off of how much you would gain in 174 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 5: terms of profit and how much it would cost. 175 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 6: So that's that's like in terms of pricing, that's what 176 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:08,439 Speaker 6: I would say. 177 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 2: Okay, I have two more questions that that's not a problem. 178 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 4: Breaking all the rules. 179 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 3: Goidelines, goidelines, goidelines, godlines, It's all good, God. 180 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 2: I said, I got two more short questions questions r FI. 181 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 2: I know that means a request for information, but what 182 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 2: are they actually asking for? It's usually just like a 183 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:34,079 Speaker 2: bunch of stuff that's like no direct request, got it? 184 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 5: RFIs they really just want to know what businesses are 185 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 5: available to provide whatever this product and service is that's 186 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 5: really just their way of checking out the landscape to 187 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 5: see if someone is actually here. And if we put 188 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 5: this opportunity out, will some companies actually bid on it? 189 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,559 Speaker 5: So the best thing for you to provide to them 190 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 5: would be you should have a one pager each capability statement, 191 00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 5: So you want to provide that. You also want to 192 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 5: provide just a general letter explaining your business and the 193 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 5: products that you can provide. The products are services that 194 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 5: you'll be able to provide to them based off of 195 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 5: their requests. 196 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 2: So what about subcontracting through RFI? Would I be able 197 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 2: to give them someone else's information? 198 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,959 Speaker 5: You can, but the thing is, you don't want to 199 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 5: put it as someone else's information unless uh huh, unless 200 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 5: this is a thing, unless it's something that you will 201 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 5: be doing in conjunction with them, or if they're asking 202 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 5: for a sub contractor. So what you would have to 203 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,679 Speaker 5: do is say, hey, we can provide this product or 204 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 5: this service, and then when the contract is actually put 205 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,839 Speaker 5: out based off of that RFI, when that contract is 206 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 5: actually put out, you can add them in there as 207 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 5: a subcontractor.

It's one of the things 330 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,399 Speaker 3: I was doing with before we were doing ey l 331 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 3: I was trying to scale our summer program, and I 332 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 3: was looking at the funding and seeing that there was 333 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 3: a budget for these type of programs and seeing the 334 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 3: qualifications that were needed to have the programs. It'd be 335 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 3: interesting now to see with COVID now that the states 336 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 3: and a lot of the local municipalities have had budget 337 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 3: cuts due to the amount of money that they've lost 338 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 3: during this time. So it'd be interesting to see what 339 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 3: their budgets look like now. But that's always a good strategy, 340 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,360 Speaker 3: typing your state go to the budget and see where 341 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,919 Speaker 3: the money's being allocated.

It was making 354 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 11: dinner for part of this for the kids. But are 355 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,879 Speaker 11: you using any tools like gov spend or is all 356 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 11: of this It sounds like a lot of your work 357 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 11: is just directly through the government websites. Is there any 358 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 11: other tools that you're using to source the contracts? 359 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 6: So, yeah, there are a number of tools. 360 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,439 Speaker 5: I don't necessarily use gov spend because that one usually 361 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,440 Speaker 5: just shows like how much the spending data, like historical 362 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 5: spending data. 363 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:36,400 Speaker 6: If I'm paying for a. 364 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,679 Speaker 5: Tool, I'm going to pay for a tool that shows 365 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 5: contracts that are coming out and that are out at 366 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 5: that very moment. So there are a number of different 367 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 5: tools that are out. So I think one of them 368 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,439 Speaker 5: for sure that you know my team actually uses is 369 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:55,639 Speaker 5: big Prime. There's a free tool called procure Now. We 370 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 5: use them, and our company actually just partnered with them 371 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 5: to share those opportunity of these as well. So those 372 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 5: are two that I primarily use. 373 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 7: And I'm sorry, what was the first one again? 374 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 6: Bid Prime, bid Prime? 375 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 7: All right, I do appreciate it, of course. 376 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 4: Thank you. 377 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:18,879 Speaker 3: That's a good question. You know, I'm thinking now, like 378 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 3: in wholesaling, there's a middle man that brings a contract 379 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,879 Speaker 3: from a buyer to itself. Does that happen in this 380 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 3: space with government contract and is this is it all? 381 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 3: It does happen all the time? Ah, so what is 382 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 3: it's not really hosted? What is it called in this space? 383 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 6: They call it a middleman method, That's what they call it. 384 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,639 Speaker 7: Okay, it's not a bad way to go if you 385 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 7: can get somebody to drop ship before you. 386 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 4: At the thoughts going through my brain and Max Max 387 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 4: famously said, the middle man makes the most money in America. 388 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 3: Think about it, Think about it?

So welcome brother. I'm happy that you're here 776 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:55,560 Speaker 4: and what's your question? 777 00:39:56,760 --> 00:40:02,160 Speaker 18: My question is I'm starting. I'm starting. Well, I'm a musician. 778 00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:05,239 Speaker 18: I like to do music, I do hip hop, and 779 00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:09,239 Speaker 18: I don't have like a business. Really, I have been 780 00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:12,760 Speaker 18: confused and what to really start with. So I thought 781 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,839 Speaker 18: about maybe selling shirts and sweaters just to start there. 782 00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:19,600 Speaker 18: And my question was, how what is the best way 783 00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:24,239 Speaker 18: to start? Because I'm looking at online just websites where 784 00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:25,840 Speaker 18: I can just make a design and put it on 785 00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:27,600 Speaker 18: the shirt and sell it through there. 786 00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,360 Speaker 7: Is that the best idea to start? 787 00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,680 Speaker 3: That's actually exactly what we did. Like we went we 788 00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:36,680 Speaker 3: found a distributor on Printfull. We did a whole episode 789 00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:38,640 Speaker 3: about it. But yeah, we had a bunch of designs, 790 00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:40,719 Speaker 3: but we just didn't have the capital to put it 791 00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:42,600 Speaker 3: on a merch And so the thing with print for 792 00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:44,799 Speaker 3: was all we had to do was create design, they 793 00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,600 Speaker 3: would create create the merch, and they would actually distribute 794 00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:49,320 Speaker 3: it for us. So we saved us a lot of money. 795 00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:52,560 Speaker 3: But we realized as we grew and we scaled, we 796 00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:54,440 Speaker 3: were losing money because we were selling a lot of 797 00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:57,800 Speaker 3: merch but the percentages were so low on our profit. 798 00:40:58,160 --> 00:40:59,759 Speaker 3: But we had to start somewhere, so if you want 799 00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,000 Speaker 3: to start somewhere that's low cost, print fills a great 800 00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:04,919 Speaker 3: option and as you scale, then you start looking at all, right, well, 801 00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:08,239 Speaker 3: how can I have more of a profit margin from 802 00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,640 Speaker 3: the actual merchan that I'm using. That's exactly what we 803 00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:11,080 Speaker 3: did though, Bro. 804 00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:13,919 Speaker 4: Yeah, check that episode out.

We gave our whole blueprint 806 00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:20,080 Speaker 4: on our journey and merch, which is not as easy 807 00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:22,000 Speaker 4: as it seems. It's a lot of moving parts when 808 00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:23,480 Speaker 4: it comes to merch, and we made a lot of 809 00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:26,600 Speaker 4: a lot of mistakes. So we learned from those mistakes 810 00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:28,360 Speaker 4: and we put it in the podcast. You know episode 811 00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:28,960 Speaker 4: that was thing. 812 00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,480 Speaker 3: It's like eighty nine.

I had a 820 00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:58,520 Speaker 7: question for the young lady. 821 00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,840 Speaker 13: I heard you, and some contracts need to be burnded 822 00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:06,280 Speaker 13: how does how do you go about getting blinded?
