1 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,479 Speaker 1: We're going to start something called Housewives University, because for 2 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 1: every one hundred housewives that have launched a business, I 3 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:22,520 Speaker 1: could give you ninety eight where the business has failed. 4 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,160 Speaker 1: So we can learn from successes and we can learn 5 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 1: from failures. I've learned way more from my failures in 6 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 1: business and other people's failures then I have other people's 7 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 1: successes because everything looks easy, and when someone else succeeds, 8 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,879 Speaker 1: it looks easy. Let's think about what has worked and 9 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,479 Speaker 1: what hasn't worked overall. Candy Burris has been on the 10 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:47,240 Speaker 1: Housewives for years. She's a musician and she has stuck 11 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 1: to her music career. It's a business. It's not a product. 12 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 1: It's not an invention. It's not something where she really 13 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: makes It is something where she can make money when 14 00:00:58,440 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: she's not in the room, because if she has a 15 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: that she's published, then she can still make residual income 16 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 1: on it. But it's something that she's doing that she 17 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: can always rely on and she can always get paid 18 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 1: to do it. Has Candy Burr's had any businesses where 19 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: it's a product that you can still buy, meaning she's 20 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: a business person that I respect because she's stuck to 21 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: her roots. In singing. She hasn't like become a chef 22 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,479 Speaker 1: on the show, although she does own restaurants. Oh, Candy 23 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: owns restaurants, so she's gone into the restaurant business. Have 24 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: those remained successful? Has there been a product line that's 25 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: come out of that? Where's the residual success? The true 26 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 1: success of someone in business is when they're making money 27 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,199 Speaker 1: when they're not in the room. So how is Candy 28 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: Burris making money when she's not in the room. Does 29 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: she have a product line for those restaurants? Does she 30 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: have a food product line that has come from those restaurants? 31 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: Are those restaurants all still open and are they all 32 00:01:55,560 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: making money? Because that would be the true test. So 33 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: Housewives University is going to be a business class based 34 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:14,959 Speaker 1: on housewives errors in business and their successes. So each 35 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 1: week we're going to start with a different housewife and 36 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 1: talk about how they've thrived and how they've failed and why. 37 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: Ramona Singer she had made over a million dollars by 38 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: the time she was thirty. She purchased her own Housewives house. 39 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 1: It probably costs less than a million dollars and it 40 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: is now worth probably five to six million dollars. Realistically, 41 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: five to six million dollars in the Hampton's. So she 42 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: was on the show in the beginning. She was one 43 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: of the early people that actually had a business in 44 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: the beginning, and it was her husband's business that did 45 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 1: religious articles, and she quickly jumped in and was doing 46 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: religious jewelry crosses and it was called True Faith Jewelry 47 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: with an E. And she went to HSN a couple 48 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 1: of times. I think she did okay, but HSN is very, 49 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: very tricky, and you get caught inside a pyramid and 50 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: you can't get out, and just because you sell, then 51 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:19,839 Speaker 1: you order more shit and you want to go back 52 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: on and you're stuck with the inventory, and it's not 53 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: It can be a model for some people like Isaac 54 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: Musrahi or Lori Goldstein her name is, or certain people, 55 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 1: but it's a world and you have to live there. 56 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: And Isaac was on is on KVC. But you have 57 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: to live there, dedicate your whole life to it. Be 58 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: at at four o'clock in the morning and it's fucking crazy. 59 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: And I left because I it was not for me. 60 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: I hated it, I really did. It just wasn't for 61 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: my personality. It's soul crushing, so she did that a 62 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: little and then she was trying to sell and it 63 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 1: was before e commerce and online, and like, I can't 64 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: really give you a big mistake. It was just she 65 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: didn't nail it. She didn't land it, you know. And 66 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: the name was good because they started in religious articles, 67 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: but then she made it into fashion. So now you've 68 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: got like a religious adjacent name with fashion, costume, jewelry. 69 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: And she wasn't that famous then, and she had no 70 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: place to sell it. It just didn't land. She didn't 71 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:19,039 Speaker 1: have good distribution. She didn't have good distribution. And doesn't 72 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 1: matter how good your ideas or how good your product is, 73 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: because the product was fine, you need good distribution. You 74 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: just saying it's a great idea and having good marketing 75 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 1: and a publicist will not move the needle. Little shitty 76 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 1: press articles will not move the needle. You have to 77 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: kill yourself on it. And also she didn't have good distribution. 78 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 1: And that was in two thousand and five. The world 79 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 1: has changed drastically since then, but the principle of distribution 80 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: has not changed. You need good distribution. The distribution platforms 81 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: have changed. So now if you have amazing viral stuff 82 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: on TikTok, doesn't matter. Where are they buying it, Where 83 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 1: is it being distributing, Where is it being distributed? Do 84 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: you have a good website? How are they buying it? 85 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: So many times I have things that are so amazing, 86 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. They like it, they love the idea, 87 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 1: they want it. Now, where's the distribution? I have a 88 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 1: wine right now. I've promoted it because something got out 89 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 1: in the paparazzi in Europe. But like I'm annoyed because 90 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: people are engaging in my posts, but it doesn't The 91 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: distribution is just getting up. Now, in a month we'll 92 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 1: have amazing distribution. Distribution matters way more than your idea. 93 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: So then Ramona launches years later Ageless by Ramona. These 94 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 1: are all businesses that have happened since they've been housewives. 95 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: I don't need to discuss her liquidation business when she 96 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: was thirty. Romona's in her sixties, so she late years later. 97 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: We hear Ramona talk about Ageless in twenty eighteen. She's 98 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 1: in her sixties, she's launching. She's launching a beauty line. 99 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: She looks good, She's had many treatments. She looks good. 100 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: It's just not the demo like who she's speaking to 101 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 1: women in their sixties. Everybody wants to get the twenty 102 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: five year old, the thirty five year old, the eighteen 103 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 1: to forty nine year old. Like the sweet spot is 104 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: the mom. She drives, an explorer, she buys ovens, she cooks, 105 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 1: she cleans. That's who the advertisers want. They don't want 106 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: the sixty five year old. They'll take the viewers. But 107 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: it's not even counted in the demo. Advertisers don't even 108 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: pay for that woman. So Ramona's in her sixties, and yes, 109 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: people have different ages watch her, but for her to 110 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 1: be ageless and you know, skew like she's got it, 111 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: she doesn't have that young audience. And so that's why 112 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,599 Speaker 1: it's gonna be hard for her to do a skincare line. 113 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 1: And I know she struggled with it, so that I'm 114 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:36,039 Speaker 1: gonna say has failed because that just it didn't. It didn't. 115 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: It didn't Land. I've never heard of it. I've never 116 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: seen it. It could be a secret society that buys it, 117 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: but it definitely didn't Land. It definitely didn't make her 118 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 1: any money. So True Faith Jewelry didn't make her any money. 119 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 1: Ageless buy Ramona didn't make her any money after Truth 120 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:53,559 Speaker 1: Faith Jewelry, before Pino Grigio, that she had Ramona singer 121 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:58,159 Speaker 1: Pino Grigio. She had True Renewal, a skincare line that 122 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: I saw at her house. She showed me the packaging. 123 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 1: I'm sure all the products were great. Doesn't matter. If 124 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: the product's great, doesn't matter, if the name is great, 125 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: doesn't matter, if if the idea is great. She showed 126 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: me the products on the heels of True Faith Jewelry. 127 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: She comes out with True Renewal skincare, and it doesn't 128 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: even spell the True the same. There's no link to 129 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: these brands. And now I know they're jewelry and skincare 130 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: and they're different. But like, she's not a well known 131 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,679 Speaker 1: person in either of these spaces. So she's gonna launch 132 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: two brands. She's launching this one when the other one 133 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: hasn't succeeded or launched, and now she's launching this one 134 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,239 Speaker 1: with True spelled differently, and it's confusing. It's a confusion 135 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: in the marketplace. Wait a minute, you did True Faith 136 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 1: doesn't have anything to do with that, but it's True Renewal, 137 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: but it's spelled differently. The logos doing like should you 138 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: connect to them. Should it have been True Faith and 139 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 1: True Renewal and at least they're spelled similar the logo similer. 140 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: Should her whole overall over arching brand have been True 141 00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: and then it's True Faith Jewelry, True Faith skincare Like 142 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: both brands failed. It doesn't matter, but like it wasn't 143 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: even a good attempt at branding and at a person 144 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: like saying to you, I have multiple brands, so where 145 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: does this live? And I'm telling you guys. We talked 146 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: about her lack of distribution. She had also a lack 147 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: of fluid marketing. It was confusion if I start, you know, 148 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: that's why I have Rewives and under Rewives that one umbrella, 149 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: we're gonna have Housewives University. It makes sense. It's about 150 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: housewives and we have rerants because it's under Rewives. I 151 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: have just Be unders Be, I have just Be Rants. 152 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: I'm coming out with just Be Influenced, which is a 153 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: podcast about, you know, deinfluencing effectively like things have to 154 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 1: there's thought in that. Why didn't I throw Housewives reviewing 155 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: under just Be because it'd be confusing. It's a different brand. 156 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 1: It's not about just Be. It's not me just talking 157 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: about topics. It's like I'm talking about housewift. So let's 158 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 1: create a new world. Branding is critical and marketing is critical. 159 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 1: I am I have an NBA in marketing. Okay, I'm 160 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: just telling you I don't have an MBA. I didn't 161 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: go to I am an expert at this. I just 162 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: it's I'm a savant at this the way someone else 163 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: is a savant at miles Travel Miles or you know, 164 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: fucking quen Wa or whatever that I am a savant 165 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: at this. Ramona had no marketing fluidity. It was all 166 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: over the place. It was slapping your name and coming 167 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: up with something different. So those failed. She's very smart. 168 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: She's made money, she's been smart in certain things, and 169 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: she's called herself a man of all things. She is 170 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: not a mavan of all things. She's succeeded by her 171 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 1: thirties in her liquidation business because she's a business person 172 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 1: and she's a fucking hustler. And you want to ask 173 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: her about your life insurance, you want to ask her 174 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: about your four oh one K. She's great at that. 175 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: She's better at that than I am. She's better at 176 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: things that I am. But I have people that work 177 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: with me that are better than that that I am. 178 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 1: But Ramona is not good at fluidity in the brand 179 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,679 Speaker 1: marketing distribution. She just throw it up and thinks it's 180 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: a good idea because the Housewives made people feel the 181 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: need to do that. You don't have to be time 182 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: to flush it out because you're worried because Bethani was 183 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: on the cover of Forbes magazine. Why didn't I grab 184 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 1: my bag? I need to grab a business and some 185 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: dummy person partner. That sounded good in the meeting that 186 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,839 Speaker 1: they told me they were gonna gave me some guarantee. 187 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: I did the deal. Why it's better than not having 188 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: a deal. I forgot to tell you. Ramona also started 189 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 1: a restaurant with some guy. So she started a restaurant 190 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: with some random guy. And then Dorinda said it was 191 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: supposed to be they approach Direnda, who cares. None of 192 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 1: you want any of it. It's a fucking dog. We 193 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 1: shot a scene at the restaurant. It never happened again, 194 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: and she didn't really own part of the restaurant. It 195 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,079 Speaker 1: was probably a place that said you can say that 196 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: to get us awareness and we'll give you a piece, 197 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: And there was no piece because that's the housewives. Let's 198 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: pretend we own something to all fucking grab whatever you 199 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 1: could say you own because you need storyline and you 200 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: want a chance to make some money and promote something. 201 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 1: So this is all thrown together and it's not well 202 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 1: thought out, and overall, I give Ramona's business acumen as 203 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: a human being a solid B. I give her business 204 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: acumen as a housewife with new ideas flushing it through 205 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,839 Speaker 1: a D. This is a D. I finally land on 206 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: Ramona singer pino Grigio, which at one point when I 207 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 1: had them mentioned it all. See with her she was 208 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,199 Speaker 1: doing five hundred cases, less than five hundred cas, like 209 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 1: four hundred cases in a year, and she can blame 210 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 1: her partner. Probably was her fucking partner. Doesn't matter. No 211 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,679 Speaker 1: one bought it. They didn't have good distribution. She probably 212 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: didn't have a good partner. She slapped her name on 213 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 1: it didn't have authenticity. You don't believe that she Just 214 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: because you drink a lot of pino grigio doesn't mean 215 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 1: you really understand the space and being an on a 216 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: phile and are with a good wine maker and that 217 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: this is a good idea and you don't want your 218 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: name as a housewife when people are fucking ripping wigs 219 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: off and flipping tables. You don't want your own name 220 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: on this wine. It's like a liability. It's stupid, and 221 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 1: you shouldn't name a wine after like a person. People 222 00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 1: want to think it's some gorgeous, beautiful, esoteric vineyard some 223 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,440 Speaker 1: life we're gonna buy into some Napa valley, weird name 224 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: that you've never heard of. You know, Jordan Winery is 225 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: a family name. You're picturing wealth, you're picturing grapes, you're 226 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 1: picturing you know, people that were in downt Nabby the 227 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,680 Speaker 1: drank White, not Ramona Singer, fucking Pino Griggio. It's just 228 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: the worst idea. The whole thing gets a D minus. 229 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:21,559 Speaker 1: I can't even give it a D. It gets a 230 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,960 Speaker 1: D minus. The whole thing is just actually, I'm gonna 231 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 1: give it a D because true faith jewelry was connected 232 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: to something that existed with her husband who had good 233 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: probably manufacturing. And no, the whole thing gets a D minus. 234 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 1: It's a D minus in the Housewives University class. My 235 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: producers they're they're like viewers, thinking that certain things are 236 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: successful when they don't realize they're not successful. One of 237 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 1: them on here that is successful. It was Zaren Fabrics 238 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,679 Speaker 1: and Jill Zaren. She's got a successful business, but she 239 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,079 Speaker 1: didn't even really use the show. We're gonna get into it. 240 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,319 Speaker 1: We're gonna get knee deep into Housewives University and who 241 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: succeeded and who failed, and you're gonna learn a lot, 242 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,439 Speaker 1: a lot more than you think. And because you have 243 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,079 Speaker 1: a website that has pictures of jewelry that you could 244 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: buy one necklace that someone goes to order in China, 245 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: where someone goes and buys stuff on Ali Baba and 246 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: slaps a Sonia label in it, that's not a thriving, 247 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: successful business necessarily. So we're gonna get knee deep into it. 248 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: And the Housewives are the ultimate scammers of fake businesses. 249 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: I have been on television and had to have real 250 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: business conversations with people, and it's a fucking fake business. 251 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, not sorry, it's a fake business. I know 252 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: it's a fake business. It's a storyline business. And the 253 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: list will go on and on, and I'm gonna be 254 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 1: fucking harsh because business is relentless and I'm not gonna 255 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 1: fuck around here and play ah. But it's really cute 256 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 1: and it was a cute, and there's no cute. You 257 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 1: make money, you don't. It's successful, you don't. There's no 258 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,199 Speaker 1: cute in Housewives University. There's you have a successful business 259 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 1: or you don't. What you do and what you don't do, 260 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 1: And this I can speak on. I have businesses that 261 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 1: have distribution worldwide and in a year, those small tiny businesses, 262 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: I'll maybe make fifty thousand dollars. And that's not a 263 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: say it's it's not a successful business. It's a it's 264 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 1: a business. It's a thing. It's part of my licensing 265 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: business overall, which is successful. And some of those things 266 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,439 Speaker 1: make a you know, provide a million dollars for me 267 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: a year. But something that's throwing off fifty thousand dollars, 268 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: which is more successful than Ramona's Sonia or any of 269 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 1: those businesses a year, is not a successful business. Like 270 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 1: we're going to define a successful business that like you 271 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 1: could you could support yourself on it. It's a real functioning, 272 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: thriving business. Most of these businesses are not successful. So 273 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: we're going to learn a lot about what not to 274 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 1: do in Housewives University and what to do
