Speaker 1: lost three hundred pounds. Yes, by living a healthier lifestyle

53
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: and through having cymos.

54
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 5: Yes. Absolutely.

55
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: So.

56
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 8: When I was nineteen, I was five hundred and forty

57
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 8: pounds and at nineteen, at nineteen, yeah, and my doctor

58
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 8: said I wasn't going to live to see thirty if

59
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 8: I didn't do something, you know. So in college I

60
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 8: started working out like a maniac.

61
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 5: You know.

62
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 8: Once I was in the right atmosphere, I was working

63
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 8: out like four hours a day, which I don't recommend

64
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 8: to everybody, but I was just obsessed with the numbers.

65
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 8: And it's like, Okay, the machine said I burned this

66
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 8: amount of calories, and this is how much I ate

67
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 8: multiply how much pounds I wanted to lose that week,

68
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 8: So I want to lose seven pounds, Okay. I got

69
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 8: to work out four hours a day, you know. So

70
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 8: that was my mindset, and I was able to drop

71
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 8: two hundred pounds in like thirteen months doing that in

72
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 8: between classes in college, you know. And sea moss has

73
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 8: just been a part of my life since I was

74
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 8: literally an infant, because I'm born and raised in the Bahamas,

75
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 8: and a lot of my grandparents, my uncles, a lot

76
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 8: of my fishermen, so sea mass was just always available.

77
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 8: And there's something that you know, they used to joke

78
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 8: and say, like, you know, Seamas put let in your pencil.

79
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 8: You know, we just knew it had all these all

80
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 8: these health and you know island talk. Uh, you know,

81
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 8: that's how they'll get get all the men on it,

82
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 8: you know. But of course it's good for so many

83
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 8: other things. But the high high mineral content of zinc

84
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 8: builds artists toster on as men, and with higher testosterone

85
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 8: comes higher everything.

86
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 5: You know.

87
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, exactly, Let's start at the beginning. How

88
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 1: do you get how do you get to be five hundreds?

89
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 8: Well, I mean I was born and raised in the Bahamas.

90
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 8: My grandmother raised me for the first like ten years

91
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 8: of my life. And she loved to cook. I love

92
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 8: to cook and bake. She was the person that every

93
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 8: the whole family would come over to our house, you know,

94
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 8: to eat, watch, watch movies, whatever. She was just a big,

95
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 8: big joy, a big heart in the community. And so

96
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 8: my you know, I grew up in a pretty uh,

97
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 8: pretty abusive childhood, and my grandmother would try to mask

98
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 8: that with like loving, loving with food and banana bread

99
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 8: and cooking and comfort.

100
00:04:58,440 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 5: You know.

101
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 8: So it's like one of those things that literally just

102
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 8: kept building up year after year after year after year,

103
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 8: and then you know, once you become a teenager and

104
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 8: it becomes a habit. That's all I knew was like

105
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 8: that was comfort. That was comfort, and it was a

106
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 8: place to go to, you know, through all the turmoil.

107
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,119
Speaker 8: So before you know it, it's like you're at the size.

108
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 8: And the thing is, I never even felt that kind

109
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 8: of weight because I was playing football at that time.

110
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 5: I was really mobile.

111
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 8: No one believed I was I weighed that much, you know,

112
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 8: but you know, it just it just kept creeping up

113
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 8: and creeping up on me, and you know, over the years.

114
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 8: So I mean since I was like five, I was overweight.

115
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 8: So from from that to like nineteen, just add more weight,

116
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 8: add more weight, to add more weight. You know, was

117
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 8: in no gym, no, no really nutritional guidance growing up

118
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 8: on the island. It's like you eat what you can.

119
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 8: Grow up really poor, you know, So it's just whatever

120
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 8: was available, whatever our family made, you know, you just

121
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 8: ate it.

122
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 2: So is part of the diet even up to the

123
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 2: five hundred, like you said that part of it, Ill.

124
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 8: Know, Yeah, well, I mean it was always a part

125
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 8: of my culture, always available, So you know, it's in smoothies,

126
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 8: it's in you know, it's a famous drink called Irish moss,

127
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 8: which is more like a cream based drink with cinnamon

128
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 8: and sea moss.

129
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 5: Is delicious, you know.

130
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 8: So I've always had seams in my life, but it

131
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 8: wasn't until like I started my health journey and I

132
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 8: went vegan for four years.

133
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 9: Because that's what I was thinking, like, yeah, I mean

134
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 9: ten pounds if you lose is like that's a great accomplishment.

135
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 9: Two hundred pounds, that's an entire person that you've lost. Yes,

136
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 9: you think about in those terms outside of the exercise

137
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 9: that I'm assuming that there was a drastic change in

138
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 9: the things that you were eating in addition to that.

139
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 2: So, like I said, you went vegan, So how long

140
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 2: was how did take?

141
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 5: Well?

142
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 8: I went vegan cold turkey overnight. Actually, I watched a

143
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 8: documentary from Tarikna she called Hidden Colors, and there was

144
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 8: one of the parts of that series I watched talked

145
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 8: about food and specifically how food affects people of color.

146
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 8: You know, one thing that that documentary taught me was

147
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 8: that our melanin was a binder for a lot of

148
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 8: these chemicals. So this is why the crack epidemic was

149
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 8: so strong in our neighborhoods, and we got ten times higher,

150
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 8: ten times more addicted than any other races because the

151
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 8: compounds and that drug will marry themselves with our melonin

152
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 8: and same with out with food. This is why even

153
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 8: though we only make up twelve percent of the United

154
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 8: States population as black people, we make up a number

155
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 8: one heart disease, which is the number one cause of

156
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 8: death in the country. So it's like, why is that happening?

157
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 8: So I saw that documentary and it talked about the

158
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 8: process foods and how it affected us worse than any

159
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 8: other race. And like, being the stubborn guy that I am,

160
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 8: I'm like Okay, They're not going to catch me slipping,

161
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 8: so I'm going vegan. So literally, at two o'clock in

162
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 8: the morning, I decided that I wasn't going to eat

163
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 8: animal product anymore. And I stayed on a straight path

164
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 8: for four years. It wasn't until after Shark Tank and

165
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 8: the business exploded and I had to travel so much

166
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 8: in and out of the country that it was just

167
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 8: a really hard diet to maintain with my new life.

168
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 8: And that's when I kind of swayed back. But I

169
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 8: was just telling my PR team, I said, Man, I'm

170
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 8: already like weaning back to that because I've been off

171
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 8: that diet for like a little over a year now,

172
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 8: and the way I feel and everything is drastically different,

173
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 8: and it's like, you know, I just want to get back,

174
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 8: get back to where I was with just plants.

175
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so you look, you you start working out,

176
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 1: you start eating healthy, you lose three hundred pounds. But

177
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: where is the business of Seymour's coming to plat.

178
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 5: Where is it coming? Okay?

179
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 8: So I started the Transformation Factory in twenty twenty during

180
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 8: the shutdown.

181
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: And what is the transformation factory?

182
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 8: So the Transformation Factory is the name of the company,

183
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 8: and the idea of that came from my own transformation.

184
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 8: So if you look at the logo, see you see

185
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 8: a smaller guy inside of a bigger guy. It shows

186
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 8: a juster position of a before and after and our

187
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 8: tagline and is become the best version of yourself. So

188
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 8: when I was going through my transformation and I was

189
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 8: losing weight, I realized that a big part of you know,

190
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 8: you asked like, how do you get to five forty?

191
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 8: One of the biggest things was ignorance. The true definition

192
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 8: of ignorance simply not knowing, you know. And as I

193
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 8: educated myself on foods and exercise and stuff like that,

194
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 8: it's like, man, I wish I had these resources. I

195
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 8: wish I had this knowledge, you know, sooner. So the

196
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 8: transformation factor is really a grounds where we can, you know,

197
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 8: fill in that gap for other people, educate them on

198
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 8: healthy things, workouts, you know. My goal is to expand

199
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 8: this into a digital world now where people can come

200
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 8: into a digital playground, get their workouts, their meals, their everything,

201
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 8: almost in like a metal world, you know, take it

202
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 8: home with them after an episode or watching something and

203
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 8: know exactly what to eat and what to do for

204
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 8: their own transformation, but it was also bigger than physical

205
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,719
Speaker 8: for me, mind body, soul. So you know, one thing

206
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 8: that was catalysts and my transformation was mental health. And

207
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 8: I know it's mental health a month for men right

208
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 8: now too, which is right right on code. But uh,

209
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 8: you know, going through as much trauma as I went

210
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 8: through as a child, like, there were a lot of

211
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 8: blocks to that that you know, you're you're not that

212
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 8: size just because you like food. You know, it's a vice,

213
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 8: it's a it's a getaway. And so you know, becoming

214
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 8: the best version of yourself is mind, body, soul, you know,

215
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 8: business just just becoming a better you in general, because

216
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 8: not everyone needs to lose weight. Some people want to

217
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 8: gain weight, or some people are at their fitness peak,

218
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 8: but their mental is bad, you know, so it's just

219
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 8: it's an overall like just becoming a two point zero

220
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 8: version of you.

221
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 9: So so I'm interested in And we had this conversation

222
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 9: a little prior to a start, but I was like,

223
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 9: seawows I felt like was the star of the pandemic.

224
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 9: I felt like when people were unfortunately getting sick, it

225
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 9: was like, well, what's a natural way to help fight

226
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 9: COVID and seaws kept coming up, and so like now

227
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 9: everybody's trying to trying to figure out how to get

228
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 9: their hands on seawas. At this time, had you already

229
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 9: thought of the idea of creating a business around seamoros

230
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 9: or was it like, hey, this is something that has

231
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 9: been part of my.

232
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 2: Culture going up.

233
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 9: Yes, the world is now recognizing it as something that's

234
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 9: essential for to have a healthy living during this pandemic.

235
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 2: Yes, let's create something around it.

236
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 5: Yeah.

237
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 8: Well, the way it happened is actually funny. I'd never

238
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 8: planned on selling seamos. How this happened was during the shutdown.

239
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 8: You know, I was taking care of my grandmother at

240
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 8: the time, who raised me. She was eighty years old

241
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 8: and she had coren abilities. And if you watch the news,

242
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 8: they said, if you get COVID and you're much older,

243
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 8: chances are you surviving. It is a lot slimmer than

244
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 8: someone that's younger. So, you know, we couldn't control or

245
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 8: know who would get it and who wouldn't. So my

246
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 8: goal was I'm just going to build the immune system

247
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 8: of everyone in my house, so if we do happen

248
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 8: to get it, we at least have an immune system

249
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 8: strong enough to battle it. So I was just making

250
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 8: seamos as an Island boy in my kitchen. You know,

251
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 8: I always had it in the refrigerator anyway, even before

252
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 8: the pandemic, I put in my smoothies with my pre workouts,

253
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 8: everything before the gym, after the gym for recovery. It

254
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 8: was just a part of my life. So I was

255
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 8: giving it to my family, but they didn't really like

256
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 8: it because it was the raw sea wants. It wasn't flavored,

257
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 8: and you know, I would mask it in a smoothie,

258
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 8: but they wasn't feeling it. So I was like, man,

259
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 8: how can I come up with a way to make

260
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 8: the kids eat it? To make the picky eaters and

261
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 8: the family eat it. And the first flavor I made

262
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 8: was mango seawass. I just took some fresh mango I

263
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 8: got from the farmer's market. I added it to the

264
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 8: raw recipe I already was making at home, and my

265
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 8: little sisters to start eating it like it was pudding,

266
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 8: and I was like, oh, we have a winter, we

267
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 8: have something here. So I would post on Instagram, like

268
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 8: me giving seamaws to my grandmother in the morning, me

269
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 8: giving it to the kids, and one of my friends

270
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 8: who was A nurse reached out to me in my

271
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 8: DM and she said, can I get some seawaws? She

272
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 8: was like, I'm around COVID patients all day long, and

273
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 8: then I have to go home to my husband, I

274
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 8: have to go home to my grandparents, and I'm potentially

275
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,719
Speaker 8: exposing them and I want to protect them. And she

276
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 8: was like, how much does it cost. I'll just I'll

277
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 8: pay for it. And I was like, no, just come

278
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 8: grab a jar, you know, just come grab a jar.

279
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 8: You know, I had enough seams to make like two

280
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 8: hundred yards, but it was only four of us living

281
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 8: in the house, you know, So I'm like, just come,

282
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 8: come and grab it.

283
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 5: So she did.

284
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 8: Two days later, she asked for more, and I was like,

285
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 8: I just gave you a two months to fly, how

286
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 8: do you need more already? And she's like, my brother

287
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 8: stole a jar. He's eating it in the gym every day.

288
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 8: And she was like, can I get more?

289
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 5: Please?

290
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 8: Please let me pay for it, and I was like,

291
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 8: don't worry about it, just come. And she started telling

292
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 8: me how like better she felt, because if you remember,

293
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 8: during the pandemic, nurses were really overworked. They were doing

294
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 8: like double triple shifts, and she was like, I actually

295
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 8: can get through the whole day now, I have so

296
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,119
Speaker 8: much energy. I've been talking to my other nurse coworkers

297
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 8: about it and they want some, and so I just

298
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 8: told them.

299
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 5: I was like, share my number with them.

300
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 8: I'll put it in a cooler on the porch because

301
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 8: you know, there was no contact back then, and just

302
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 8: come and grab it. So I was giving away seems

303
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,719
Speaker 8: to nurses and COVID patients for free during the shutdown.

304
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 8: And funny enough, we were actually in the process of

305
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 8: losing our home during the pandemic, but you know, they

306
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 8: couldn't kick us out because we were in a state

307
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 8: of emergency, so you know, all evictions were banned, all

308
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 8: everything was banned. And I had like maybe two hundred

309
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 8: and fifty dollars in my bank account and I'm over

310
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 8: here giving our seams like Seeman Santa Claus, not even

311
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 8: thinking that it could be a business. And it wasn't

312
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 8: until I started getting a lot of requests of people

313
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 8: wanting it that weren't in healthcare, and I couldn't afford

314
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 8: to keep doing it for free and shipping it also

315
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 8: for free, so I charged anyone that wasn't in healthcare,

316
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 8: like a small fee, and I kept it free for

317
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 8: nurses and COVID patients for as long as I could,

318
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 8: and literally, within like maybe three months, I got the

319
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 8: attention of another Semas company in Atlanta that they didn't

320
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 8: make their own product, but they were good at marketing,

321
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 8: and they said, you have the best tasting sea moss

322
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 8: we've ever had. Your reviews are amazing. Can we white

323
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 8: label your product? Put our label on your jar, and

324
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 8: you have you ship it to our customers. We'll pay

325
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 8: you send you purchase orders. And I started working with

326
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 8: that company, and by week three I was getting like

327
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 8: one hundred thousand dollars check from them to take care

328
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 8: of all their orders. And I remember showing my mom like, Yo,

329
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 8: we're gonna be good. We're gonna be yeah, Yeah, absolutely,

330
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 8: we're gonna be okay. And I had no idea this

331
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 8: was going to be a business. And things didn't go

332
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 8: so well with that company and myself, like I put

333
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 8: myself in the hospital trying to fulfill their orders and

334
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 8: mind well, three days without sleep, literally just grinding three

335
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 8: days NonStop, and then one morning I woke up with

336
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 8: my body like shut down on me and I had

337
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 8: to go to the er and I was in the

338
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 8: hospital for like a week, and the owner of that

339
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 8: company called me while I have ivs and drips, you know,

340
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 8: and they're like screaming on the phone, cursing me out

341
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 8: all this stuff, and I'm like, man, I'm doing everything

342
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 8: I possibly can and I'm actually in the hospital.

343
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 5: And they knew I was in the hospital and they

344
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 5: didn't care.

345
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 8: And as good as the money was, like my own

346
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 8: brand was doing okay, I was probably selling like twenty

347
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 8: percent versus what they were doing, and I was like,

348
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 8: this is enough to take care of the bills and

349
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 8: keep my peace. And I decided I wasn't going to

350
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 8: work with them anymore. And I remember praying to God

351
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 8: and just asking like, please let me be able to

352
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 8: match the volume I used to have, but it only

353
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 8: be my brand. And he answered that times ten. You know,

354
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 8: by month seven, we had made our first million in revenue,

355
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 8: seven months off from starting. And again, this business, it

356
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 8: was never even supposed to be a business. It was

357
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 8: just that the natural demand started coming in and I

358
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 8: just wanted to serve everyone that was hitting me up.

359
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 9: You're still in the house, I was gonna say, trapping

360
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 9: out the band. You still making most in the house

361
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 9: at this point.

362
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 5: Oh no, no, I mean today or no, not now?

363
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: Oh yes, oh yeah.

364
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 8: We were in the house up until I want to say,

365
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 8: month seven, month seven eight, right right around when we

366
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 8: hit our first million. And what happened was we had

367
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 8: a neighbor across the street from us that would literally

368
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 8: document like the trucks coming to drop off the material

369
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 8: and USPS coming to pick up these big orders. And

370
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 8: they built a case on us and gave it to

371
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 8: our community, and then we got a nice letter from

372
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 8: our you know, our community in Palm Beach. It's like,

373
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 8: you have ten days to stop doing business in a

374
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 8: residential area or we have to shut we have we

375
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 8: have to kick you guys out. And this was after

376
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 8: the state of emergency, so now you can actually be

377
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 8: evicted and stuff like that. So we had we found

378
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 8: a commercial place in seven days. We had ten days

379
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 8: to do it, and we did it in seven days,

380
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 8: and we were able to move to a commercial spot

381
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 8: and keep the business going. And it grew even more

382
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 8: because now we had a bigger place. You know, it

383
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,679
Speaker 8: was actually a professional environment and you know, and everything

384
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 8: just started to just started to scale more and more

385
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:15,439
Speaker 8: from that point.

386
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: So, okay, we need Shark Tank coming to play.

387
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 5: So Shark Tank came into play.

388
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 8: So there's a show on ABC called Extreme Weight Loss,

389
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 8: and I got casted for that show and during filming,

390
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 8: for whatever reason, you know, producer, the owner of the show,

391
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 8: decided that he didn't want me to be a part

392
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 8: of the show anymore. But all the all the producers,

393
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 8: the casting producers, everyone, they had rarely already built an

394
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 8: attachment to myself, so they kept in touch with me

395
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 8: even even after the show. And one of those casting

396
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 8: directors worked for Shark Tank at some point, and she

397
00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 8: saw all the motion I was having on Instagram and

398
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 8: she said, Hey, have you ever thought about being on

399
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 8: Shark Tank? And I was like, yeah, absolutely, I'm like

400
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 8: that's like my favorite show. And she was like, I

401
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 8: think you should apply. And I'm like, you know, I

402
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 8: don't know. I don't know if we're big enough. We're

403
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 8: like we're like in month eight, month nine at this point,

404
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,360
Speaker 8: you know, And I'm like, I don't think we're big enough.

405
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 8: And she's like, I think you are. I think you

406
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 8: don't realize how fast you're growing. So I took her advice.

407
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 8: Her name was Holland, and I took Hollin's advice. I

408
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 8: applied and a pre screen call came like three days

409
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 8: after I submitted my application. I'm speaking to the screener

410
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 8: and you know, giving them my backstory, giving them my

411
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 8: numbers and everything like that, and they were like, wow,

412
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,679
Speaker 8: this is absolutely incredible, Like we're going to skip you

413
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 8: to the final round of casting. Doesn't mean that you

414
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 8: made the show, but we're just you know, instead of

415
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 8: taking you through two in three rounds, we're just going

416
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:51,679
Speaker 8: to put you to the tail end.

417
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 5: Like this is great.

418
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 8: And maybe three weeks after that, I got a call

419
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 8: California number. I'm in the warehouse with my staff and

420
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 8: I knew exactly what it was. I was calling because

421
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 8: I'm like, I don't know anyone in Elton, California. This

422
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 8: has to be Shark Tank. So I pick up the

423
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 8: phone and they're about to tell me congratulations, I made

424
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 8: the show. And I'm like, hold on one second, let

425
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 8: me just put this on speakers on my staff get here,

426
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 8: And you know, I put it on speaker and I

427
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 8: told all this staff, I'm like, come and come in

428
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 8: the middle of the floor. And then I was like, okay, sir,

429
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 8: tell me what you were going to say, and they

430
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 8: were like, congratulations, you made it. You made it on

431
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 8: Shark Tank. And my whole team loses it. They lose

432
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 8: their minds. And shortly after that, it was really rigorous.

433
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 8: I had to start writing the pitch, practicing the pitch.

434
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 8: I had to pitch it to over two hundred people

435
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 8: within ABC and Disney before it even got green light

436
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 8: to be on the actual show. You know, it was

437
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 8: the biggest zoom call I ever seen in my life.

438
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 8: I didn't even know you could have that many people

439
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 8: on a zoom call, you know. And they paired me

440
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 8: with two producers. One of them her name was Diane,

441
00:20:55,520 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 8: who's actually cousins with Lumel who owned Zeus. I found

442
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 8: that out like a year or two later, you know.

443
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 8: But she worked really close with me, and she was like,

444
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 8: you know, it's not too many black entrepreneurs that make

445
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 8: this show. I need you to come with your a game,

446
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 8: you know. And I was like, okay, no pressure, you know.

447
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 8: So she just told me, She's like, make sure you

448
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 8: know your numbers, your cogs. Any scientific thing that you're

449
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 8: going to say or medical anything you're going to say

450
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 8: about the product, like make sure you have proof of that.

451
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 8: So We got our sea moss lab tested in different countries,

452
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 8: different types of sea mass.

453
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: Where does it get sourced from?

454
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 7: So we get our.

455
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 8: Seams from a few places. We get it from Jamaica,

456
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 8: Saint Lucia, Tanzania, and Africa and Ireland. So Ireland has

457
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 8: Krond's Christmas, which is like purple Seamas, you know, and

458
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 8: it has more carbon. That's where I guess it's colored from.

459
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 8: So it's really good for us. But we get ours

460
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 8: primarily from the Caribbean because it's just closer in proximity

461
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 8: to South Florida. And you know, we make sure we

462
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 8: always from really clean waters. Because we test everything. We

463
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 8: test for heavy metals, We test for mineral content, like

464
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 8: instead of just saying, oh, Seman's has all these minerals,

465
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 8: Like you know, when I told the Sharks that I

466
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 8: knew that we're going to ask like how do I

467
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 8: know or can you prove it? So I had lab certifications,

468
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 8: you know, showing the mineral breakdown, the heavy metal test

469
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 8: to everything. So once we got accepted on the show,

470
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 8: the homework began big time. And because it's a health

471
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 8: product and it's something that people ingest and we're making claims,

472
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 8: we had to make sure that we tested everything because

473
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 8: I Binge watched every episode of Shark Tank once we

474
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:41,400
Speaker 8: got chosen, and I specifically Binge watched the episodes where

475
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 8: they had like health health products or made any health claims.

476
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 8: And what I saw from watching those episodes was that

477
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 8: the Sharks will ripped them apart if they didn't know

478
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 8: everything about it. They will call them snake oil, they

479
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,199
Speaker 8: will call it this. And I'm like, I have a

480
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 8: successful business. The last thing I want to do was

481
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 8: go on this show and get absolute terrible p are

482
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 8: and you know, after the show airs, we're out of business,

483
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 8: you know, or people don't want to buy our products anymore.

484
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,360
Speaker 8: So I went there with the intention of making sure

485
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 8: I had all my facts and then to the extra

486
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 8: added pressure added on myself is to Diane's point, you know,

487
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 8: it was one hundred and eighty people that I chose

488
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 8: for that season, but not all the episodes are going

489
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 8: to air, and of those one eighty, there was probably

490
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 8: less than ten black owned businesses. And I'm like, I'm

491
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 8: occupying a space that a lot of people in my

492
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 8: community would want. And I'm also occupying a space, you know,

493
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 8: where I could really showcase.

494
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 5: Act black excellence.

495
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,640
Speaker 8: And if I do this right, I will I will

496
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 8: make black businesses look good as well as the seamos community.

497
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 5: The sea Moss is still almost like a niche.

498
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,199
Speaker 8: It's getting bigger and bigger and more people are becoming

499
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,439
Speaker 8: aware of it, especially because of people like Nipsey Hustle

500
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 8: and Lisa Left Eye and you know, celebrities that Kim

501
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 8: Kardashian uses it when she wants to lose weight and

502
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 8: she'll put it in her stories and I'm like, wow,

503
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 8: now now it's bleeding into the European market, you know,

504
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 8: and stuff like that. So I knew a huge platform

505
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 8: like Shark Tank would have given me an opportunity to

506
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 8: put seams on a huge platform, meaning that anyone in

507
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 8: that industry is going to get a benefit from it.

508
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 8: And most of the people in that industry look like us,

509
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:23,439
Speaker 8: and they're from the Caribbean. And you know, I've gotten

510
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 8: so many dms since that aired from other seamaws companies

511
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 8: just saying like, brother, thank you. You know, we point

512
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 8: people to your Shark Tank episode and we get a sale.

513
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 9: You know, because the preparation obviously paid off. If you

514
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 9: look at the best pictures on the show, yeah. I

515
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 9: mean you're usually in the top three for sure.

516
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 5: Thank you a lot of them.

517
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 2: I've seen you number one on a lot of these polls, which.

518
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 9: Is interesting because when you got there, obviously you've been

519
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 9: bench watched the show. Yes, but there was a variable

520
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 9: that you couldn't prepare for, right, Like who knows that Kevin.

521
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 2: Hart's going to be on the show when you're there,

522
00:24:58,320 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 2: So like.

523
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 9: Door opens and you see this variable that you didn't

524
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 9: prepare for, Like how are you reacting to it?

525
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 2: Like what what's happening in your mind? Like, Okay, this

526
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 2: is a curve ball. Yeah, I'm still gonna present how

527
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 2: I was always going to present.

528
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 8: Yeah, Well, Kevin Hart was a surprise that came up

529
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 8: like maybe a week and a half before I actually

530
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 8: had to fly to Cali and film, and my producer

531
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 8: told me that Kevin Hart was going to be a

532
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 8: part of the season, but I wasn't going to have him.

533
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,679
Speaker 8: I was going to have Damon, which I was okay

534
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 8: with because, like when I was in high school and

535
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 8: I was as heavy as I was, two of the

536
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 8: brands that I could always find clothes that fit that

537
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 8: was like Swaggy was Sean John and Fubu. They just

538
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 8: carried like five and six xits.

539
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 5: You know.

540
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 8: And so I'm like, I already have rapport with Damon

541
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 8: because as soon as they show me up before pictures,

542
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 8: I'm literally in a Fubu sweat see, you know. And

543
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 8: then last minute they were like, no, they're swapping Damon

544
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,360
Speaker 8: for Kevin Hart. And they're like, this is a really

545
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 8: big deal because Kevin's only going to be a part

546
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 8: of shooting for one.

547
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 5: Day, which was like five pitches.

548
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 8: So they reserved like the best products, the best pitches

549
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 8: that they thought would do the best on the show

550
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:17,239
Speaker 8: with Kevin. And so when they told me that I

551
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,399
Speaker 8: had Kevin, I knew that I was one of the

552
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 8: favorite pitches for the season because they reserved like the

553
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 8: top five of that season for Kevin.

554
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 5: You know. So I watched the episode, Yes, yeah.

555
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 9: And I thought to myself, you went in there with

556
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 9: the initial offer. You wanted to give them five percent?

557
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 9: Yeah for what was the amount was it?

558
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:39,360
Speaker 1: Yes?

559
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 2: Now, if anybody didn't watch the episode, go watch it.

560
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 2: That's not the offer you left with.

561
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 8: No, it's not changing your offer and obviously changing the

562
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 8: evaluation of your company because of that offer. Absolutely, So

563
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 8: what happened was the Sharks literally told me I'm not

564
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 8: getting out of bed for five percent, you know. And

565
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 8: for me, it wasn't about the money. It was about

566
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 8: the growth strategy that I really wanted with the Sharks.

567
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: You know.

568
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 8: It's that I wanted somebody on the team that had

569
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 8: the relationship capital to call QBC and get me on it,

570
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 8: you know, make a call to Walmart and we're at

571
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 8: least a part of the conversation to being on the shows.

572
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 5: To me, I saw the.

573
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,719
Speaker 8: Value in that a lot more than the dollar amount.

574
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 8: And at the time, we really didn't need the capital

575
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 8: because we were so cash positive, because you know, we

576
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 8: were still growing and we're still keeping things at a

577
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 8: certain scale. So for me, I really wanted a growth

578
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 8: strategists and someone that could help me grow the brand

579
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 8: way more than I wanted the money. So for me,

580
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 8: negotiating and I negotiated and devalued my company in a sense,

581
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 8: just for an opportunity to work with the Sharks. And

582
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 8: you know a lot of people were saying in the

583
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 8: comments like man, you should have got more money, or

584
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 8: they should they took advantage, YadA YadA, And you know,

585
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 8: I didn't see it that way like I if I

586
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 8: email Mark at three in the morning, I can check

587
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 8: my email in like fifteen twenty minutes and I have

588
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 8: a response from him. You know, when The Shade Room

589
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 8: wanted to post our Shark tank clip, they needed clearance

590
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 8: from Disney because Disney owns ABC. And I was told

591
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,439
Speaker 8: by one of the producers because I emailed him, I

592
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 8: was like, hey, can you guys clear this? They're like, oh,

593
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 8: this goes up all the way to the top, and

594
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 8: to be honest, you probably never hear back from them,

595
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 8: you know. So I emailed Mark, I said, Mark, the

596
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 8: Shade Room wants to post this. It was around Black

597
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 8: History time too, and I was like, can you get

598
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 8: this cleared? Within half an hour, he got it cleared

599
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 8: and then the Shade Room was able to post it.

600
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:36,479
Speaker 5: You know.

601
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 8: So I said that to say that working with the

602
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 8: Sharks definitely brings a lot of benefit and it's invaluable

603
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 8: because I mean, to even book Mark Cuban for a

604
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 8: ten minute call, fifteen minute call, if you would even

605
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 8: accept it, would be you know, six figures easily, you know,

606
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 8: to be able to call him and utilize his team,

607
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 8: which are all Ivy League graduates, you know, at my disposal.

608
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 5: You know, something that is worth millions is Kevin?

609
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 2: I know they partnered on it. Yes, how is keV

610
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 2: as involved or is that somebody reach on and reach

611
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 2: out to as well?

612
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, well yeah, Kevin and his team has been amazing

613
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 8: as well. Kevin is really busy because he's shooting usually

614
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 8: shooting like three or four movies at the same time,

615
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 8: so a lot of a lot of times I'm working

616
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 8: like through his team. Recently, I just ran into to

617
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 8: his team in Atlanta like two weeks ago, and you know,

618
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 8: giving them updates of the business. And one thing that

619
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 8: we were really careful with was not having him over

620
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 8: expose us because we were When we were at Shark Tank,

621
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 8: we were in a fifteen hundred square foot facility, so

622
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 8: you can imagine like we have like almost no space.

623
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 8: We were forty thousand orders behind after Shark Tank period.

624
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 8: I mean we're watching it live and we made half

625
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 8: a million that night within the first within an hour

626
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,479
Speaker 8: after we aired, and it's like, you know, they call

627
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,080
Speaker 8: it the Oprah effect, and it's like, Okay, how do

628
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 8: we get how do we.

629
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 5: Make all these all these jars?

630
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 8: And you know, I had to expand move into a

631
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 8: bigger warehouse, higher, bigger team, you know everything. If Kevin

632
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 8: had like eat our product or promoted our product as well,

633
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 8: they could have breaked the system.

634
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 5: You know.

635
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 8: QBC reached out to Mark Cuban to have us on

636
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 8: QBC selling the product with Kevin Hart, and he actually

637
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 8: told them no because he knew what it would have

638
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 8: done to our production. He said, check back in the year.

639
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 8: These these guys need to catch up, you know, and

640
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 8: so little things like that. So now we're actually about

641
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 8: we're weeks away, and I'm so excited. We're weeks away

642
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 8: from moving into what would be the largest sea mass

643
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 8: manufacturing factory in the US. It's twenty thousand square foot

644
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 8: and you know, we're calling it like the really Wonka

645
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 8: Sea Moss is going to be, you know, fantastic.

646
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 5: It's really big.

647
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 8: It's going to give us the space to not just

648
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 8: scale bigger numbers here in the US, but actually be

649
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 8: able to take advantage of other countries that's been asking

650
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 8: specifically for our brand, like Canada, the UK, Columbia, the Bahamas.

651
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 8: You know, those are just some low hanging fruit qvc

652
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,959
Speaker 8: hs and GNC stores, you know, just just saying okay, now,

653
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 8: we're ready. And so I say that to say that

654
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 8: once we move into this facility and we're able to

655
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,479
Speaker 8: scale our production to where we needed to be, I

656
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 8: know that's where Kevin's involvement is going to become really

657
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 8: important and it won't.

658
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:22,959
Speaker 5: Break us, you know.

659
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 8: So it was all it's all about the timing, so

660
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 8: they always let us know right they're there. But it

661
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 8: was one of those Okay, when you're ready, ready, we're

662
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 8: gonna blow this up, you know.

663
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 2: So seven months then you're making a million.

664
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 9: Yes, by the time you get to shark thing, we

665
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 9: got a three point five three point five million.

666
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, you making half a million and an hour.

667
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 9: Where were the what are the sales at and where

668
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 9: are they trajected?

669
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 5: For twenty twenty four? Twenty twenty four?

670
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 8: Okay, so sales to date is about thirty seven million

671
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 8: in the last three years and this year we're last

672
00:31:58,200 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 8: year we did.

673
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 5: Sixteen sixteen point in twenty twenty three.

674
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 8: This year, I predict no less than twenty And the

675
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 8: reason why we didn't have the gummies yet. We just

676
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 8: launched these this year and they sold this. This one

677
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 8: sold out like within two months, so that that brought

678
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 8: in a broad in about three million on its own,

679
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 8: and then we're also launching a Sema skincare line for

680
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 8: quarter four. We just got nominated for Oprah's Favorite Things,

681
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 8: so us being on that list is definitely this is

682
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 8: this is by far going to be our biggest holiday

683
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 8: since we've been in business. So I mean, I'm probably

684
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 8: being modest by saying twenty it's probably probably these more.

685
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,959
Speaker 8: And then also, we did all this without Amazon, but

686
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 8: we're we're launching our Amazon within the next month after

687
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 8: you know, after all the red tape to get a

688
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 8: supplement on Amazon were finally at the finish line. So

689
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 8: this I said to say, quarter four this year, we

690
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 8: will have skincare line, we will have Amazon firing off,

691
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 8: and then we have the new sku that we just

692
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 8: launched us also firing off. So I predict, I predict

693
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 8: that we're going to exceed at least twenty million this year.

694
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 1: I'm up to bat to ten minutes off. Thanks for

695
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: letting me get a question. Okay, so can you actually

696
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: break down if you can the Shark Tank deal, Like

697
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: how does this actually work? Because people see it on TV,

698
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 1: but it's like, yeah, we don't really know, like what's real,

699
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: what's not real, like, can you kind of just break

700
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:30,479
Speaker 1: that down if you can?

701
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

702
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 8: So after the show, there's a process that we go

703
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 8: through with the Sharks called due diligence, you know, because

704
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 8: you can go on the show and say anything. And

705
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 8: what the producers shared with me is that it's truly

706
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 8: the sharks first time seeing you and hearing about your

707
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 8: stuff when you pitch it in the front of them.

708
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 8: And they do that on purpose because the Sharks aren't

709
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 8: actors and they want genuine reactions. So I say that

710
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 8: to say that it's not like they did their homework

711
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 8: or dug deep into finances you pitching. All of that

712
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 8: stuff is done after a deal is made on the show.

713
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:09,840
Speaker 8: After that due diligence is done, one of three things happened.

714
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 8: They decided they don't want to do the deal anymore

715
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:15,799
Speaker 8: because they see something they don't like. They renegotiate. They

716
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 8: still like it, but it might not have been as

717
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,359
Speaker 8: profitable as you made it seem, so they want to

718
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 8: want a bigger percentage or offer you less money.

719
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 1: So it's not done just because you see it on Team.

720
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:26,319
Speaker 5: Oh no, absolutely not.

721
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,279
Speaker 8: And it's to protect the Sharks as well, because you

722
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 8: could imagine someone going on the show fluffing their numbers,

723
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 8: forcing the Sharks to put them in a deal, and

724
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 8: it's actually not beneficial to them. So you know, they

725
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 8: get to do their homework first, and if they like

726
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 8: what they see, they keep the deal. If they don't,

727
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 8: they'll say, hey, I don't want to do it anymore.

728
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 8: For us, our numbers were even better than we said

729
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 8: and we were growing at such a fast pace, so

730
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 8: they loved our due diligence process. We signed the terms

731
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 8: and conditions, but where we are now, we just grew

732
00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 8: so fast before due diligence sometimes can take over a year.

733
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 8: You know, it's a long process. The problem is, within

734
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 8: that year we had like four or five x in

735
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 8: revenue and in sales and everything. And it wasn't just

736
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:16,320
Speaker 8: because of Shark Tank. I literally beefed out. My marketing

737
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,800
Speaker 8: team got some of the best media buyers in the game,

738
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 8: and we started to scale on our own accord. And

739
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:26,399
Speaker 8: so now the deal that we made on the show

740
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 8: couldn't go through today because twenty percent of my company

741
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 8: today would be probably upwards of fifteen million versus six

742
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 8: hundred thousand that I offered. You know, it's a huge difference,

743
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:43,839
Speaker 8: and so we're still in communications, but the numbers and

744
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 8: the finite like contract and inc. We haven't got to

745
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 8: that point yet. Some people are telling me that I

746
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 8: shouldn't do it anymore and I don't need it, you know,

747
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 8: and that's debatable. But as of right now, I want

748
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,879
Speaker 8: one hundred percent of the company, So you you.

749
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 1: Have that option.

750
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, I do have that option.

751
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 1: I can I change my mind. I don't want to

752
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: do it.

753
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, I can walk away. They can walk away. You know.

754
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 8: The only thing I signed was a terms and condition

755
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:13,839
Speaker 8: pretty much saying that for the first first year and

756
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 8: a half, if I decided to get another VC involved,

757
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 8: that they would get first dips to buy extra equity,

758
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 8: you know, stuff like that.

759
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 7: But we're earners.

760
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:25,239

785
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 3: seem boring to save, plan and make calculated decisions with

786

Speaker 6: the United States Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump,

798
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 6: attempted illegal border crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded,

799
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:49,280
Speaker 6: and over one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested.

800
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 6: If you are here illegally, your next you will be

801

Speaker 8: Past our statue of limitations. I still want to work

809
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 8: with both those guys obviously, but you know, now it's

810
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 8: just coming back to the table with the new numbers

811
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 8: and finding something that makes sense.

812
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,360
Speaker 2: Do you have to return the money back? So it

813
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 2: was three hundred and three hundred?

814
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 8: Oh see there was no money giving. Oh okay, yeah, yeah,

815
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 8: we never got the money go yeah, yeah, because we

816
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:40,479
Speaker 8: didn't sign an actual contract yet. But but even though,

817
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 8: I'm still in communications with both both teams and very

818
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 8: very responsive. So it's just a matter of when, not if,

819
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 8: and the numbers obviously have to be renegotiated. Yeah, and

820
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 8: very recently, we just got the attention of Gary Vee.

821
00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 8: Funny enough, I was a commencement speed speaker at my

822
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 8: alma model last year, and because of that, the president

823
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 8: invited me to the special event that Gary Vee was

824
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 8: speaking at and I'm a huge Gary v fan, and

825
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 8: gave me the opportunity to actually meet with him and

826
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 8: backstage after the event. So I went on his website

827
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:21,399
Speaker 8: filled out an application because I've always wanted to work

828
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:23,239
Speaker 8: with Faint and Media, which is here in New York,

829
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 8: and the team reached back right away and they were

830
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:28,799
Speaker 8: like Gary knows exactly who you are.

831
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 5: You know, he loves you.

832
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 8: He's actually joining the call too, So I want to

833
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,840
Speaker 8: call with my marketing team. Gary Vee joins, and it

834
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 8: was about creating content and pretty much beefing up the look.

835
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 5: Of our brand.

836
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:43,839
Speaker 8: I wanted to take it to another level. And his

837
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 8: rebuttal was, I want to invest in the company. I

838
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:49,320
Speaker 8: want to be a partner, you know. So very recently

839
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 8: we have Gary Vee that's interested in being a part

840
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 8: owner of our company too. So you know, right now

841
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 8: I'm in the stage of raising capital because we were

842
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 8: growing so fast that it's starting to starve our cash flow,

843
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 8: which I think is a common problem with new businesses

844
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:10,880
Speaker 8: that's growing or grow grow really fast. So right now,

845
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 8: the main thing is aligning myself with the right with

846
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:16,759
Speaker 8: the right partner, the right growth strategists and everything. And

847
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 8: I feel I found it already with Mark and Kevin,

848
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 8: but it's just now ironing out everything and making it official.

849
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:27,799
Speaker 9: Is there like a specific profit margin that you want

850
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 9: to be at inside of the business, So I hear

851
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 9: evaluation when you're at three and.

852
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 2: A half, Yes, and you evaluated almost like ten x.

853
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 2: I think not ten x for ten million. Yes, is

854
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,479
Speaker 2: the multiple two point five? What's the multiple in the space,

855
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 2: and like what's the profit margin?

856
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:45,479
Speaker 8: Looking for well, profit margins fluctuating right now because we're

857
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 8: pouring so much back into the business. We've been in

858
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 8: investing in German made machinery so that we can co

859
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:57,360
Speaker 8: pack our product quicker because we have a higher demand

860
00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:00,120
Speaker 8: than we can meet. You know, we're always behind the

861
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 8: The one negative review we'll see about our brand is that, man,

862
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 8: I wish you would get here quicker. You know, it's

863
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 8: just because we could only make like five thousand jars

864
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 8: a day in our current production and once we move

865
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 8: into our new factory and the machinery that we've been

866
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 8: investing in, we'll now be able to make five times

867
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 8: that day at least.

868
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 5: You know.

869
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 8: So profit margin is healthy. I want to say it's

870
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 8: about twenty percent and the goal is to not slip

871
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 8: below that, but sometimes it can depending, especially because we

872
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 8: use real fruit. We don't use powders, We don't use

873
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 8: any substitutes.

874
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 5: For our fruit.

875
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:40,879
Speaker 8: Like right now, this time of year, certain flavors are

876
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 8: hard to get, like fruits are hard to get, like elderberry.

877
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:46,280
Speaker 5: There's been a shortage on mango.

878
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 8: Sometimes there's a shortage on strawberry sometimes, and all those

879
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:52,719
Speaker 8: things can cause cause of delay. And when there's shortages,

880
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:55,839
Speaker 8: you have to buy it at retail instead of wholesale.

881
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 8: And now the profit margin changed because the cost of

882
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 8: goods considerably just jumped. But you know what's the worst

883
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 8: like putting sold out on the website or just taking

884
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 8: a slight profit cut for a temporary time until strawberries

885
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:09,400
Speaker 8: are back in season.

886
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 5: You know.

887
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 8: So it fluctuates, but we try to keep it above

888
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 8: twenty percent.

889
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 1: So I saw something on Nick Cannon show. I don't

890
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 1: know if you saw that. He had a doctor on

891
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 1: he said there's no health benefits in seamos. You see

892
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 1: that clip? No I didn't, but it went it kind

893
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,800
Speaker 1: of went viral, and he was saying that Sea mars

894
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 1: is overrated, it is not necessary and pretty much he

895
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 1: was just saying like it's kind of a myth that

896
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 1: sea moss is good for you. Yeah, I don't know

897
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 1: if you heard that. You haven't heard it from him,

898
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:45,400
Speaker 1: but just that general census. So what's your thoughts on

899
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 1: that and what in your take? Can you give us

900
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 1: a pitch on why se mors? What's the actual health

901
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 1: benefits of Sea.

902
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 8: Mars, right, So yeah, stan sy a question. I have

903
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 8: heard people say stuff like that about Sea Maas or

904
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 8: you know it doesn't have minerals, that doesn't have anything.

905
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 8: I know that not to be true because we've actually

906
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 8: lab tested it with credible labs PhD scientists that literally

907
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:11,840
Speaker 8: gave us reports that we had to show sharks to

908
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:16,759
Speaker 8: prove it ourselves. And then too just a hypothesis. I

909
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:20,240
Speaker 8: went to school for biomedical engineering and I worked for NASA,

910
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 8: so I have a science background.

911
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,360
Speaker 5: And semas has been around.

912
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 8: For well over three hundred years from the potato for

913
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:31,920
Speaker 8: me that happened in Ireland back you know, in the

914
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 8: eighteen hundreds. It was the only thing that kept them

915
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:37,880
Speaker 8: alive when there was no food. So to say that

916
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 8: it doesn't have nutrients or health benefits, we know that

917
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:44,759
Speaker 8: to not be true just because of how long it's been,

918
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 8: you know, being consumed by humans over three hundred years.

919
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:53,279
Speaker 8: And again the lab test proves the mineral content, and

920
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:55,279
Speaker 8: there we know what minerals do. We know what zinc

921
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:57,400
Speaker 8: does for the body, we know what potassium does for

922
00:44:57,480 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 8: our body. So if you can prove that these men

923
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 8: minerals are in this algae. Then you know you're going

924
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,959
Speaker 8: to get the benefits from each of those minerals that's

925
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 8: inset algae. How do you prove that those minerals are

926
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,480
Speaker 8: in the algae? You test it and we tested it

927
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 8: and as well, over sixty four sixty five minerals in

928
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 8: this one point in this one c algae. To answer

929
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:22,359
Speaker 8: a question about the benefits, you're getting all the benefits.

930
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:22,760
Speaker 5: From the minerals.

931
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 8: So one thing, Semans has a fiber in it, So

932
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 8: the fiber treats the gut. A gut is where our

933
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:30,800
Speaker 8: immune system lives.

934
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 5: You know, you have.

935
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:36,799
Speaker 8: Potassium and zinc and vitamin ak D and all these

936
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:40,880
Speaker 8: things in seems that our body is going to extract

937
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:43,799
Speaker 8: whatever it needs and deposit it in different parts of

938
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:48,920
Speaker 8: our body as needed. And then two just testimonials like

939
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:53,280
Speaker 8: we've had so many reviews given us, like beautiful stories

940
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 8: of how Semos what Semos is doing for them. I

941
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:59,720
Speaker 8: have a mom who has a son that has sickle

942
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:03,279
Speaker 8: cell and he's an extreme pain a lot. Seamus is

943
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 8: an anti inflammatory and it boosts energy as well. And

944
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 8: I've heard from her that man, yes, Seamoss is making

945
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 8: such a huge difference in my son's life. He's actually

946
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 8: able to have somewhat normal days. I've had couples who

947
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 8: are weresterile and trying to conceive, literally telling me that, hey,

948
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 8: we have a Seams baby on the way. You know,

949
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 8: we were able to get pregnant. We had someone that

950
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 8: wasn't so happy about being pregnant. They're like, you know,

951
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:34,240
Speaker 8: I'm on contrabance. I have no idea how this stuff's

952
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:37,840
Speaker 8: still happened. We're like, yeah, seamuster is a fertility booster

953
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 8: for men and women.

954
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:40,319
Speaker 5: And they were actually not that.

955
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 8: Happy about it, you know, but it still speaks to

956
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:46,840
Speaker 8: how powerful, how powerful it is. I've had older men.

957
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 8: One of my mentors in his sixties has arthritis in

958
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:53,239
Speaker 8: his back, which is you could imagine how painful it

959
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 8: is one of the largest muscles in the body, and

960
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:59,360
Speaker 8: almost everything you do uses their back, so he, you know,

961
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 8: was hard for him walk. He was like, I haven't

962
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:03,600
Speaker 8: been able to clean up my garage and you know,

963
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 8: do the things that I like to do. And I

964
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 8: gave him the products and then three days later he

965
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:11,319
Speaker 8: contacts me and says, I was able to clean up

966
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 8: my garage for the first time in years, you know, so.

967
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 5: It's it's one thing. One numbers don't lie.

968
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:21,760
Speaker 8: You know, you have a scientific breakdown from a lab

969
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 8: that tells you exactly what's in the product. You just

970
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:27,759
Speaker 8: can't fake that. So that's one. How long it's been

971
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 8: a part of the human diet too. If it was

972
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:33,520
Speaker 8: nothing and it wasn't doing any benefits, it would have

973
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:37,239
Speaker 8: it would have eradicated itself over time, people just not

974
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 8: talk about it or use it. And then three when

975
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 8: people do take it, the benefits that they feel. I've

976
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:47,880
Speaker 8: had people that were COVID positive going through respiratory issues,

977
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 8: loss of smell, taste, and everything tell me that in

978
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:54,719
Speaker 8: forty eight hours that sent them some subsided.

979
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:55,680
Speaker 5: Since they started taking the seamas.

980
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 8: And this was people all over all over, different states,

981
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:02,839
Speaker 8: different circles, people that don't know me, you know. So

982
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 8: you put all that together and it's like for someone

983
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 8: to say that it has no nutrients and no benefits,

984
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 8: I would challenge them to say, Okay, get it tested,

985
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:12,920
Speaker 8: because if you get a test and it comes back

986
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:15,520
Speaker 8: that there's no minerals in there, then whistle blow the

987
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 8: whole industry.

988
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:16,680
Speaker 5: You know.

989
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 8: But I guarantee you as soon as you do that,

990
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 8: you're going to see the true facts.

991
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:23,439
Speaker 5: And you know, I don't.

992
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 8: I haven't seen that clip, and I don't know who

993
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:27,879
Speaker 8: said that, but I've heard other people say it who

994
00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 8: are kind of like bro scientists. You know, let me

995
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:32,360
Speaker 8: play it, you know, yeah, yeah, so you can have

996
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:36,239
Speaker 8: a proper response. Yes, yeah, like you know, they're not

997
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:38,920
Speaker 8: actually scientists, they're not no lab, they don't they're not

998
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:43,400
Speaker 8: working with someone certified, and they're just saying stuff. You know,

999
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 8: and this stuff is verifiable. You know, we have the

1000
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:47,800
Speaker 8: technology to verify.

1001
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:48,799
Speaker 5: But why why he.

1002
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:52,600
Speaker 2: Gets the clip? Is there a core demographic? Like who

1003
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 2: is the demographic that you're selling the product to? Is

1004
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 2: its women? Is there is there age range that that

1005
00:48:57,600 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 2: you see as the largest client?

1006
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:03,560
Speaker 5: Yeah? So by far women women just dominate.

1007
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:05,920
Speaker 8: Health and beauty. They care a lot more about about

1008
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:09,359
Speaker 8: parents and youthfulness and you know and stuff like that.

1009
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:11,359
Speaker 8: So I'm gonna play this and then we could play it,

1010
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:13,799
Speaker 8: okay in episode too, so the audience could hear.

1011
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 1: But okay, in minerals, you know, there's this phenomenon right now, Seams.

1012
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:21,399
Speaker 5: I was a big believer.

1013
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:24,560
Speaker 10: In Sea Moss until that it has ninety eight minerals

1014
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 10: or something, and that my body needs.

1015
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:29,880
Speaker 5: And I was like, all right, I'm all forced seawalls.

1016
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:32,040
Speaker 10: How do we feel about seam So I think take

1017
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:34,760
Speaker 10: a step back. Is there any information that your mineral

1018
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:35,799
Speaker 10: deficient in your boy?

1019
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:37,920
Speaker 5: And the answer is no. You know, well rounded.

1020
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:40,799
Speaker 10: Diet in America, all the vitamins, all the nutrients you need.

1021
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:44,440
Speaker 10: We don't see mineral deficiency. We don't see vitamin deficiency

1022
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:48,720
Speaker 10: in our country. So taking more of something isn't necessarily better.

1023
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 5: I think that's the message.

1024
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 10: You're also trusting that whoever is giving you the sea moss,

1025
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:55,280
Speaker 10: what's in that sea moss? Do you think they're actually

1026
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:57,320
Speaker 10: looking at making sure there's not a lot of mercury

1027
00:49:57,320 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 10: in a lot of other heavy battles.

1028
00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:00,520
Speaker 5: No, they're just taking.

1029
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:02,520
Speaker 10: Something, put it in and grinding, I think, giving it

1030
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:04,520
Speaker 10: to you. So it really worries me once you know,

1031
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:07,880
Speaker 10: it really worries me that more of something isn't necessarily better.

1032
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,160
Speaker 10: If there was some data it worked, I'd be the

1033
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:12,440
Speaker 10: first to say, Nick, you should be doing this.

1034
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:14,880
Speaker 5: And they could actually make a claim on the bottle.

1035
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:17,160
Speaker 10: They can't make any claims because they have no data.

1036
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:19,680
Speaker 10: You have no idea what's inside that to me is

1037
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:21,320
Speaker 10: worse Oh.

1038
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:23,560
Speaker 5: This is great. So I'm really glad you shared that.

1039
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:26,759
Speaker 1: So there's a couple give you a chance to you know, yeah, yeah,

1040
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 1: in the court of law, you got it.

1041
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:29,960
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I can cook on that. Yeah.

1042
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 8: So there's a couple. There's a couple of things there.

1043
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:37,760
Speaker 8: One he said, you know, people don't have a mineral

1044
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:41,040
Speaker 8: deficiency if you have a well rounded diet and you're

1045
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:43,840
Speaker 8: getting your nutrients from your food. I would agree that

1046
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:46,360
Speaker 8: if you're eating foods that have a lot of minerals

1047
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 8: and vitamins on a daily basis, and it's not nutrient

1048
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:53,280
Speaker 8: dead foods, then you are getting a lot of nutrients

1049
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:56,320
Speaker 8: that the human body needs. However, we know that's not happening.

1050
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:59,360
Speaker 8: We're in a nutrient dead society or most of the

1051
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:03,440
Speaker 8: foods we eat process door dashed restaurants, and I mean

1052
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:05,759
Speaker 8: even our fruits don't have seeds anymore. You know, you

1053
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:08,239
Speaker 8: have to go to special places to get them. So yeah,

1054
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 8: in a perfect world, you're eating from the garden there

1055
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:12,760
Speaker 8: eating you probably don't need sea wants. You're getting everything

1056
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:15,400
Speaker 8: that your body needs. But we are in a nutrient

1057
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:18,640
Speaker 8: dead world, and you know, if you're not getting your

1058
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:22,360
Speaker 8: nutrients every day, like a lot of us aren't, especially

1059
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:25,560
Speaker 8: on the SAD diet standard American diet. Then that's where

1060
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:28,000
Speaker 8: supplements come from. There's a reason why people start their

1061
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:31,800
Speaker 8: day with a male multivitamin or a female multi vitamin

1062
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 8: or you know, certain regiments every day to keep yourself

1063
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:39,799
Speaker 8: healthy because you're getting it more in a compounded a

1064
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:43,200
Speaker 8: supplement versus having to eat so much greens or juice

1065
00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:46,920
Speaker 8: so much things to get the heavy impact. So he's

1066
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:49,400
Speaker 8: not incorrect. I mean, if you're someone that's like a

1067
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 8: raw vegan, you're juicing all the time and going to

1068
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:55,759
Speaker 8: a farmer's market and getting seeded stuff, you're probably getting

1069
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:57,920
Speaker 8: the nutrients your body needs. And you can tell by

1070
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:00,960
Speaker 8: the look of that person's skin that over health that

1071
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:05,040
Speaker 8: their body has the nutrients they have. That's not the

1072
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:07,600
Speaker 8: case for most Americans, you know, based on how we

1073
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:11,120
Speaker 8: eat day in and day out, grabbing something for four

1074
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:15,160
Speaker 8: four menus, stuff like that, you take your semos, you're

1075
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:17,319
Speaker 8: getting the nutrients that you would have gotten if you

1076
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:19,560
Speaker 8: had a whole day of fruits and vegetables and high

1077
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:23,360
Speaker 8: nutrient dense foods. So that's one second thing he mentioned

1078
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:26,080
Speaker 8: was and it's very true, who are you getting the

1079
00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:29,719
Speaker 8: seamos from. Some people don't do the mineral testing that

1080
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:31,919
Speaker 8: we did and the heavy metal testing that we did.

1081
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 8: They're kind of like, like Kevin said on my Shark

1082
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:39,040
Speaker 8: Tank episode, you know when you for him to find

1083
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:41,279
Speaker 8: seamans is almost like a drug deal. It's like he

1084
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:43,160
Speaker 8: has to get it out of someone's kitchen or someone's

1085
00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 8: whipping it up somewhere, you know. And my and in

1086
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:48,760
Speaker 8: my case, we started making it in my mom's kitchen,

1087
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:51,000
Speaker 8: you know. So it's like, where are you getting it

1088
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 8: from commercially? Is it tested, is it cleaned properly? Is

1089
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:57,440
Speaker 8: the water is coming from full of mercury or heavy metals?

1090
00:52:57,680 --> 00:52:59,840
Speaker 8: We test for that, so we know that's not our problem.

1091
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 8: He made a good point there, and then another thing

1092
00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:04,680
Speaker 8: he said was.

1093
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:07,080
Speaker 5: About data.

1094
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 8: So there's not a lot of studies on semos. And

1095
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:11,880
Speaker 8: the reason why there's not a lot of studies on

1096
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:15,320
Speaker 8: semos is each study is about one hundred thousand dollars.

1097
00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:18,360
Speaker 8: If you want to prove that semos is, for example,

1098
00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:21,080
Speaker 8: I won't put on my bottle on my bottle this

1099
00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:23,720
Speaker 8: is a fertility booster, because I would need a study

1100
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:26,440
Speaker 8: to prove that it's a fertility booster. What I can

1101
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:29,760
Speaker 8: prove is that semos has zinc in it, and zinc

1102
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:32,799
Speaker 8: has a lot of studies already that's already proven and

1103
00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:34,839
Speaker 8: paid for that I don't have to pay for. So

1104
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:37,879
Speaker 8: let's just talk about what zinc does. Zinc increases our

1105
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:43,080
Speaker 8: libido as men, our testosterone, our sperm count, our sperm mobility,

1106
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:48,360
Speaker 8: thus increasing our fertility for women as a hormone balancer

1107
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:51,240
Speaker 8: because of the minerals that's in it as well.

1108
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:52,480
Speaker 5: So no, I.

1109
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:54,600
Speaker 8: Won't make a claim and people won't make a claim

1110
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:57,960
Speaker 8: saying Semos does this, but I will say Semos has

1111
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:00,879
Speaker 8: this in it, and based on what's in it, these

1112
00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:04,800
Speaker 8: are what these minerals do. So what he's saying isn't wrong,

1113
00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:09,360
Speaker 8: but it's also it's also skewed. It's a perfect world.

1114
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:12,239
Speaker 8: If you're eating a perfect diet, you don't need this supplement.

1115
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:15,919
Speaker 8: There's no studies on semas, but there's studies on every

1116
00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:20,360
Speaker 8: mineral that sea moss contains. Where you're getting it from it,

1117
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:22,480
Speaker 8: you're just grinding it up and throwing it in a bottle. Yes,

1118
00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:25,160
Speaker 8: whoever you're buying semas from, asking them to show you

1119
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:27,760
Speaker 8: the photo certificate their mineral.

1120
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:30,480
Speaker 5: Like even with my mineral breakdown.

1121
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:33,080
Speaker 8: It has my company name on it, so you couldn't

1122
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:35,800
Speaker 8: even like take it from somewhere else and say, oh,

1123
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:39,280
Speaker 8: our semas has these minerals because there's a seal on there,

1124
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:43,960
Speaker 8: and it has the company that paid for it and

1125
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:46,319
Speaker 8: the origin of where that semos came from. I could

1126
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:47,880
Speaker 8: show my customers these things.

1127
00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:50,239
Speaker 5: So he's right. Wherever you're buying it, you know, ask

1128
00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:51,080
Speaker 5: those questions.

1129
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:55,239
Speaker 8: But other than that, I mean, he's not necessarily saying

1130
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:58,960
Speaker 8: it doesn't work. He's saying that there's not studies on

1131
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:02,520
Speaker 8: it on the actual seamos as a finished product, and

1132
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:05,120
Speaker 8: that if you're if you're getting all your nutrients from

1133
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:08,560
Speaker 8: a standard diet and a good diet, then your body

1134
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:09,760
Speaker 8: probably gets what it needs.

1135
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:10,759
Speaker 5: I mean.

1136
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:13,200
Speaker 8: So that's how I feel about that.

1137
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:16,279
Speaker 2: So you were you were saying probably that women are

1138
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:17,280
Speaker 2: your biggest customers.

1139
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:19,480
Speaker 8: Yes, yes, women are my biggest customers. I want to

1140
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 8: say they make up about sixty five percent of our customers.

1141
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:25,440
Speaker 8: Maybe it fluctuates sixty five sixty eight. Most of the

1142
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 8: guys that's on seams that are either from the Caribbean

1143
00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:30,400
Speaker 8: and they already know and once guys start taking seams

1144
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:32,439
Speaker 8: and they feel how brodic they are, and they fit

1145
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:35,359
Speaker 8: their performance enhances and everything. They kind of don't want

1146
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:38,640
Speaker 8: to stop taking it. Yeah, because I mean because the

1147
00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:40,200
Speaker 8: tas tossed the room boot.

1148
00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:45,000
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, So you've you mentioned, you know, performance

1149
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:48,120
Speaker 1: a few different times. Yes, for men, is this the

1150
00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:50,879
Speaker 1: major benefit of that.

1151
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:53,759
Speaker 8: It is one of the major benefits. You know, it's

1152
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:56,880
Speaker 8: not the it's not like what we used to sell it.

1153
00:55:56,880 --> 00:55:57,160
Speaker 1: It's not.

1154
00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 5: It's not the driver. No, this is good for so

1155
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:01,880
Speaker 5: many things.

1156
00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:05,080
Speaker 8: You know, it's anti inflammatory, so people with respiratory issues

1157
00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:10,040
Speaker 8: like asthma or chronic pain arthritis, you're going to feel

1158
00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:13,279
Speaker 8: a lot of those symptoms of side uh semos is

1159
00:56:13,320 --> 00:56:16,759
Speaker 8: also a mucus breaker, so you know, the foundation of

1160
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:21,319
Speaker 8: diseases is mucus. So if you're eliminating bad mucus, there's

1161
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:24,480
Speaker 8: good mucus too, but we're getting rid of bad mucus,

1162
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:27,880
Speaker 8: you lower your chances of getting a lot of diseases

1163
00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:31,120
Speaker 8: or are getting rid of of of a lot of diseases.

1164
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 5: So zinc is just like another like icing on.

1165
00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:38,839
Speaker 1: The cadd benefit of the absolutely and the honey it's

1166
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:39,520
Speaker 1: like a honey pack.

1167
00:56:40,120 --> 00:56:42,400
Speaker 5: Yeah kind of well, you know those honey packs.

1168
00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:46,680
Speaker 8: They use a chemically made ingredient that's like in viagra

1169
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:49,480
Speaker 8: and stuff like that, which pretty much you know, if

1170
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:52,200
Speaker 8: you have a rectile dysfunction, is telling you a bigger

1171
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:56,959
Speaker 8: story as usually something with your heart, and it's really blood.

1172
00:56:56,680 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 5: Flow restrict Yeah, blood flow restriction.

1173
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:03,520
Speaker 8: So your arties could be clogged or you're eating foods

1174
00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:07,320
Speaker 8: that's that's causing restriction. So taking that pill isn't fixing

1175
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:10,960
Speaker 8: the problem, it's just masking it. So like we're actually

1176
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:13,719
Speaker 8: cooking up our own version, but it's not going to

1177
00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:16,640
Speaker 8: be anything synthetic. Of course, it's going to have seamoss,

1178
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:20,400
Speaker 8: but then some of you might yeah, our own version,

1179
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:24,160
Speaker 8: but but all natural, all healthy, so like for example,

1180
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:27,800
Speaker 8: uh a seamoss obviously has a very rich and zinc

1181
00:57:27,840 --> 00:57:30,200
Speaker 8: and a lot of things to help with anti inflammation,

1182
00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:33,320
Speaker 8: open up blood flow. But then there's things like black

1183
00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:38,560
Speaker 8: marker root tongue, got ali oswagonda, horny goat weed.

1184
00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:43,320
Speaker 1: The horny goat weed. Yeah, that was a big one. Yeah,

1185
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:46,240
Speaker 1: so all right, the horny goat weed. I don't know

1186
00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:47,680
Speaker 1: if that's gas station. I think it's like gen C,

1187
00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:53,680
Speaker 1: but your hat, Yeah, it's synonymous with porn yeahenally, well,

1188
00:57:54,440 --> 00:57:54,760
Speaker 1: it was.

1189
00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:56,760
Speaker 8: It's like it was like a gag gift, you know,

1190
00:57:57,080 --> 00:57:59,880
Speaker 8: because like, uh, you know, obviously it's an attention grabber.

1191
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:02,480
Speaker 8: If you've ever seen the porn hub logo, it stands

1192
00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:05,840
Speaker 8: out right away, so it grabs everyone's attention and they looking,

1193
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:08,880
Speaker 8: they say, oh, what's seamans and then he starts the conversation.

1194
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:12,840
Speaker 8: You know, it's not tied to no, no, it's not

1195
00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:14,080
Speaker 8: tied to porn hub at all.

1196
00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:15,600
Speaker 1: But just.

1197
00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:20,479
Speaker 8: If you know, you know, like you know, you know, yeah,

1198
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:22,760
Speaker 8: it's like a male from the Caribbean. We'll see this

1199
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 8: and chuckle, you.

1200
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:27,320
Speaker 2: Know, recognized logo exactly exactly.

1201
00:58:27,360 --> 00:58:31,120
Speaker 8: So it's it's an eye captures, a conversation starter, and

1202
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:32,800
Speaker 8: you know it looks nice too.

1203
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:35,360
Speaker 9: So that the product you thinking of is it? Is

1204
00:58:35,360 --> 00:58:37,960
Speaker 9: it a gummy form or is it? Can you even

1205
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:38,440
Speaker 9: speak on it?

1206
00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:42,160
Speaker 8: Like yeah, absolutely, So we have we have gels. We

1207
00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:44,560
Speaker 8: have these gels and ten flavors.

1208
00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:47,360
Speaker 2: So we have, uh for the new one that you

1209
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:48,960
Speaker 2: think that's about come helpful?

1210
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:52,200
Speaker 8: Oh no, I literally want to make package. I want

1211
00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:53,680
Speaker 8: the package that you can throw in your gym bag,

1212
00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:56,600
Speaker 8: throwing your duffle when you travel, you know. And the

1213
00:58:56,640 --> 00:59:00,240
Speaker 8: beautiful thing is in what I'm formulating is it's not

1214
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:02,479
Speaker 8: going to mask a problem. It's going to treat treat

1215
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:06,520
Speaker 8: the problem because you have restrictions somewhere and these herbs

1216
00:59:06,560 --> 00:59:09,840
Speaker 8: open up your blood vessels and increase blood flow, you know,

1217
00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:12,080
Speaker 8: and they have so many other health benefits.

1218
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:12,400
Speaker 5: You know.

1219
00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:15,560
Speaker 8: It's not just about like that one thing. You know,

1220
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:18,400
Speaker 8: they have a plethora of I mean people are using

1221
00:59:18,400 --> 00:59:22,160
Speaker 8: Ashrogonda for for for mental clarity, you know. So imagine

1222
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:24,880
Speaker 8: if you're treating and fixing so many things, even though

1223
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:26,960
Speaker 8: you're focused on you may be focused on one thing,

1224
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:29,960
Speaker 8: or you might get you might get black marker because

1225
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:31,919
Speaker 8: you want you want to work out harder in the gym,

1226
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:33,960
Speaker 8: you know. It's it's a big boost in the gym too,

1227
00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:36,600
Speaker 8: and or you might just be getting it because you

1228
00:59:36,680 --> 00:59:39,080
Speaker 8: have d you know. But it's going to treat so

1229
00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:41,800
Speaker 8: many other things. And actually a lot of these things

1230
00:59:41,840 --> 00:59:44,800
Speaker 8: like black maca is what they call an adapter gen,

1231
00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:47,680
Speaker 8: so your body gets accustomed to it over time, it

1232
00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:49,800
Speaker 8: builds up in your in your body like creatine. You

1233
00:59:50,080 --> 00:59:52,520
Speaker 8: even have to cycle on and off sometimes if you

1234
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:56,360
Speaker 8: want to feel the effects always, So my goal is

1235
00:59:56,400 --> 00:59:59,360
Speaker 8: to create some a version of that. Okay, that's what

1236
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:01,720
Speaker 8: you want. You want want to fix a rextel dysfunction.

1237
01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:06,840
Speaker 8: Let's actually fix it. And you know, ironically, the more

1238
01:00:06,840 --> 01:00:08,840
Speaker 8: you use the product, the least you'll probably need it.

1239
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:11,200
Speaker 8: You know, So it might be that part of it

1240
01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:13,120
Speaker 8: might be bad for business, but I feel like, why

1241
01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:15,960
Speaker 8: would you stop taking it if it's working, especially if

1242
01:00:16,240 --> 01:00:20,000
Speaker 8: if your diet's not perfect. You know, you're eating pizza

1243
01:00:20,200 --> 01:00:23,000
Speaker 8: or wings or whatever and things that's going to reclog

1244
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:23,720
Speaker 8: your arteries.

1245
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:27,920
Speaker 5: Taking that daily is just fighting against your your bad diet,

1246
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:28,800
Speaker 5: your bad choices.

1247
01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:31,240
Speaker 1: You know, how should you okay, how should you take

1248
01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:33,800
Speaker 1: these teams? Because you have a lot of different things. Yes,

1249
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:37,080
Speaker 1: is it you spoon feed yourself in or you put

1250
01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:39,800
Speaker 1: it inside of a smooth vie? How many times a day?

1251
01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:40,960
Speaker 1: What's the whole regiment?

1252
01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:43,720
Speaker 8: Okay, so there's a few ways. So our semants is

1253
01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:47,200
Speaker 8: super delicious. We blend it with organic fruit so they

1254
01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:50,000
Speaker 8: taste very tropical and it's like a baby food consistency,

1255
01:00:50,080 --> 01:00:52,840
Speaker 8: like an apple sauce. So you can literally just take

1256
01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:55,320
Speaker 8: two spoons rail out of the jar and just and

1257
01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:56,320
Speaker 8: just go about your day.

1258
01:00:56,360 --> 01:00:57,160
Speaker 5: That's how I eat it.

1259
01:00:58,240 --> 01:01:00,240
Speaker 8: You can also put it in smoothies, like if you're

1260
01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:03,760
Speaker 8: a smoothie person, put two tablespoons in your smoothie and

1261
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:07,600
Speaker 8: then walk out the door. You can also dilute this

1262
01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:11,480
Speaker 8: into tea and it's great as great as a face mask,

1263
01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:14,320
Speaker 8: a beard mask. It helps, it helps to grow a

1264
01:01:14,320 --> 01:01:17,560
Speaker 8: full of beard. Yeah, it's really good for your skin. Literally,

1265
01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:19,840
Speaker 8: I would just put it on my face for fifteen minutes,

1266
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:23,240
Speaker 8: let it dry, let the nutrients go in, rense it off,

1267
01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:29,000
Speaker 8: and you have this nice glow, this nice youthful glow. Also,

1268
01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:31,000
Speaker 8: you can mix some of this in water, put it

1269
01:01:31,040 --> 01:01:33,240
Speaker 8: in a spray bottle, shake it up with some water

1270
01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:36,400
Speaker 8: and spray your plants. It's really good for growing your plants.

1271
01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:41,080
Speaker 8: It's great for pets. We I have a friendsheet that

1272
01:01:41,080 --> 01:01:44,680
Speaker 8: I got my little sister, and when the operation was

1273
01:01:44,680 --> 01:01:47,840
Speaker 8: in the house, sometimes some of the raw seaweed would

1274
01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:50,919
Speaker 8: fall on the floor and before we have a chance

1275
01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:53,280
Speaker 8: to clean it up, you know, puppy would run to it,

1276
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:57,360
Speaker 8: grab it and run to it with his little food

1277
01:01:57,400 --> 01:02:00,000
Speaker 8: bind And we will notice that after you started eating

1278
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:01,840
Speaker 8: the sea moss, he will start doing you know with

1279
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:04,520
Speaker 8: patrons called zippies, and that's when a dog is just

1280
01:02:04,560 --> 01:02:08,000
Speaker 8: like all around the house, you know, so it's like whoa,

1281
01:02:08,080 --> 01:02:09,640
Speaker 8: this thing is really good for pets too.

1282
01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:12,640
Speaker 5: That's another area that we're exploring as well, you know.

1283
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:16,360
Speaker 8: And so it's pretty from from what I've seen, is

1284
01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:19,360
Speaker 8: good for every living organisms. It's even good in the

1285
01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:22,800
Speaker 8: ocean because it acalyzes the ocean and a lot of

1286
01:02:23,200 --> 01:02:27,280
Speaker 8: amphibians and other other creatures in the sea will use

1287
01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:30,760
Speaker 8: sea moss as like a hiding place or refuge or

1288
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:33,680
Speaker 8: food or a place to lay their eggs and stuff

1289
01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:36,360
Speaker 8: like that, you know. So I mean, I'd just like

1290
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:38,919
Speaker 8: to say seamoss is just good for the for the planet.

1291
01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:39,160
Speaker 5: You know.

1292
01:02:39,880 --> 01:02:43,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, So yes, to answer your question, two tablespoons a day.

1293
01:02:44,520 --> 01:02:48,360
Speaker 8: Me personally, I take it as needed. So and I

1294
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:51,320
Speaker 8: always tell people, you know, take it as needed, but

1295
01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:53,360
Speaker 8: always consult with your doctor to make sure you're not

1296
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:55,920
Speaker 8: getting too much of a good thing. So, for example,

1297
01:02:55,960 --> 01:03:00,800
Speaker 8: there's some people that are on iodine supplements for the thyroids.

1298
01:03:01,240 --> 01:03:05,200
Speaker 8: Semans is extremely rich in iodine. So imagine you're taking

1299
01:03:05,200 --> 01:03:08,080
Speaker 8: semaans daily and then you're taking the prescribed medicine from

1300
01:03:08,120 --> 01:03:10,440
Speaker 8: your doctor. Now you're getting too much of a good thing.

1301
01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:14,800
Speaker 8: So we've had customers that literally weaned off of their

1302
01:03:14,840 --> 01:03:19,320
Speaker 8: iodine supplements or or had their doctor reduce the amount

1303
01:03:19,480 --> 01:03:23,200
Speaker 8: of the supplement so that they can indulge in seamans.

1304
01:03:23,520 --> 01:03:26,480
Speaker 8: So depending on who you are also depends on how

1305
01:03:26,560 --> 01:03:29,160
Speaker 8: much you should take. So you should always consult with

1306
01:03:29,160 --> 01:03:32,240
Speaker 8: your doctor if you're taking other medicines and other vitamins

1307
01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:34,840
Speaker 8: and other supplements. Me personally, if i feel like I'm

1308
01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:37,840
Speaker 8: getting a cold or anything, I'm eating the whole yard.

1309
01:03:38,120 --> 01:03:40,400
Speaker 8: You know, I'm an infinite in the bud. By the

1310
01:03:40,440 --> 01:03:42,400
Speaker 8: next day, that stuff is gone.

1311
01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:42,840
Speaker 5: You know.

1312
01:03:43,520 --> 01:03:46,400
Speaker 8: If I know I'm working out heavy that week, or

1313
01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:49,200
Speaker 8: I'm doing two a days in the gym, I'm taking

1314
01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:52,400
Speaker 8: a few tablespoons before the gym as a pre pre workout,

1315
01:03:52,680 --> 01:03:55,200
Speaker 8: and I'm definitely eating it after the gym and before

1316
01:03:55,240 --> 01:03:59,480
Speaker 8: bed because it aids in recovery, you know. So but

1317
01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:03,240
Speaker 8: I don't medication and I don't take other supplements, so

1318
01:04:03,520 --> 01:04:05,920
Speaker 8: I know, like this is the only supplement I'm taking.

1319
01:04:06,280 --> 01:04:09,120
Speaker 8: So for me and my relationship with my doctor, I

1320
01:04:09,160 --> 01:04:12,040
Speaker 8: can over indulge, but everybody can't. So, you know, we

1321
01:04:12,080 --> 01:04:14,480
Speaker 8: tell people two tablespoons a day, you know, is a

1322
01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:16,960
Speaker 8: minimum and if you want to take more, just make

1323
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:18,320
Speaker 8: sure that that's okay for you.

1324
01:04:19,440 --> 01:04:23,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you have it. Well, okay, Toily, what's the

1325
01:04:23,360 --> 01:04:26,919
Speaker 1: plan as far as scaling this business like marketing and

1326
01:04:27,360 --> 01:04:29,920
Speaker 1: you want to work with all the influencerss like y,

1327
01:04:31,560 --> 01:04:34,760
Speaker 1: what's the plan to actually you know, continue to keep going?

1328
01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:38,760
Speaker 8: Well, the next plan. So we're moving in twenty thousand

1329
01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:41,960
Speaker 8: square foot facility in two weeks. It's going to be

1330
01:04:41,960 --> 01:04:44,480
Speaker 8: in South Florida. Go in your park, you guys, ever

1331
01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:46,320
Speaker 8: in Florida. It'll be great for you guys to come

1332
01:04:46,360 --> 01:04:49,080
Speaker 8: into it. You know, it's going to be really big

1333
01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:51,840
Speaker 8: and really nice. So now we're in that bigger space,

1334
01:04:51,920 --> 01:04:54,360
Speaker 8: we're going to be able to produce a lot more

1335
01:04:54,440 --> 01:04:57,560
Speaker 8: product and meet our true demand. So right now we

1336
01:04:57,640 --> 01:04:59,640
Speaker 8: have more people that want it than we can supply.

1337
01:05:00,120 --> 01:05:02,920
Speaker 8: So the next goal is to meet our true demand

1338
01:05:03,360 --> 01:05:06,200
Speaker 8: by being able to G and C wanted to put

1339
01:05:06,280 --> 01:05:07,520
Speaker 8: us in eleven of their stories.

1340
01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:08,720
Speaker 5: Now we'll be able to do it.

1341
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:12,160
Speaker 8: Now we can go after Whole Foods and Target and

1342
01:05:12,560 --> 01:05:16,800
Speaker 8: try to get our products on those shelves. Colombia, I

1343
01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:20,720
Speaker 8: met with the dignitaries in Colombia. They literally said if

1344
01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:24,000
Speaker 8: you bring this to Colombia, we'll give you citizenship. You'll

1345
01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:27,240
Speaker 8: create so many jobs, and we want this in Colombia,

1346
01:05:27,440 --> 01:05:29,920
Speaker 8: so it be okay. Now I can create another operation

1347
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:33,560
Speaker 8: in another country. The Bahamas obviously wants it because I'm behavior.

1348
01:05:33,640 --> 01:05:35,400
Speaker 8: They actually mad at me. They're like, how are you

1349
01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:37,840
Speaker 8: all over TV about being from the Bahamas and we

1350
01:05:37,880 --> 01:05:40,320
Speaker 8: don't even have your product, you know. So I met

1351
01:05:40,320 --> 01:05:43,800
Speaker 8: with the Prime Minister of my country and he's offered

1352
01:05:43,840 --> 01:05:45,960
Speaker 8: me what's called crown land because I told him I

1353
01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:50,960
Speaker 8: want to start growing and cultivating our seamas in the

1354
01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:55,000
Speaker 8: Bahamas as well. I mean, sea maws grows naturally, you know,

1355
01:05:55,440 --> 01:06:00,440
Speaker 8: however sustainably. You want to not rob the ocean of

1356
01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:03,120
Speaker 8: all of its sea moss because it's helping to keep

1357
01:06:03,160 --> 01:06:05,920
Speaker 8: the ocean clean and other animals use it as well.

1358
01:06:06,280 --> 01:06:08,600
Speaker 8: So like like my grandmother, for example, if she went

1359
01:06:08,640 --> 01:06:10,919
Speaker 8: over to someone's house and they had a rose bush

1360
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:13,480
Speaker 8: that she liked, she would clip a part of that plant,

1361
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:17,440
Speaker 8: take it home, and she would replant it and then

1362
01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:19,240
Speaker 8: grow her own version of that plant.

1363
01:06:19,440 --> 01:06:20,680
Speaker 5: So same thing.

1364
01:06:20,840 --> 01:06:23,440
Speaker 8: You know, you go to the bottom of the ocean,

1365
01:06:23,520 --> 01:06:25,720
Speaker 8: you get some sea moss, and then we put it

1366
01:06:25,720 --> 01:06:29,280
Speaker 8: in the area that's more harvest friendly and let nature

1367
01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:32,800
Speaker 8: do what it does. You you're just planting it back

1368
01:06:32,840 --> 01:06:35,600
Speaker 8: in the ocean and letting it grow and multiply. So

1369
01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:39,360
Speaker 8: what the Prime Minister offered was free beach land, so

1370
01:06:39,400 --> 01:06:40,960
Speaker 8: we can do that, you know, a part of the

1371
01:06:40,960 --> 01:06:43,120
Speaker 8: island where there's no tourists and there's not a lot

1372
01:06:43,160 --> 01:06:46,400
Speaker 8: of traffic, and it's like, now we can create jobs

1373
01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:51,280
Speaker 8: in the Bahamas for fishermen and harvesters. And now when

1374
01:06:51,280 --> 01:06:53,760
Speaker 8: you buy your sea moss, whether it's at wholesale for

1375
01:06:53,840 --> 01:06:57,000
Speaker 8: your business or you're buying it for personal it could say,

1376
01:06:57,360 --> 01:06:59,720
Speaker 8: you know, growing in the Bahamas instead of it always

1377
01:06:59,720 --> 01:07:02,720
Speaker 8: coming from Jamaica or Saint Lucia or Ireland or anything

1378
01:07:02,760 --> 01:07:06,000
Speaker 8: like that. So that's another big plan is to create

1379
01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:10,160
Speaker 8: create our own sea moss you know, harvesting system. And

1380
01:07:10,200 --> 01:07:12,560
Speaker 8: the reason that's important is I believe that as this

1381
01:07:12,680 --> 01:07:15,440
Speaker 8: niche grows, some of the big companies will start to

1382
01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:18,240
Speaker 8: come in, like the Quakers and the Johnson and Johnson's

1383
01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:21,640
Speaker 8: of the world, and it could create an environment where

1384
01:07:21,720 --> 01:07:24,200
Speaker 8: sea moss becomes scarce because they're buying it at such

1385
01:07:24,200 --> 01:07:27,920
Speaker 8: a large scale, and then the fears you know my

1386
01:07:28,040 --> 01:07:30,280
Speaker 8: price is going up or me not being able to

1387
01:07:30,280 --> 01:07:32,440
Speaker 8: find raw material anymore. So it's like I want to

1388
01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:35,000
Speaker 8: have that problem if we have our own harvesting system.

1389
01:07:35,080 --> 01:07:37,840
Speaker 8: So that was something I tooken with with the Prime Minister.

1390
01:07:38,280 --> 01:07:41,640
Speaker 8: And then also the United Kingdom and Canada has been

1391
01:07:41,680 --> 01:07:44,520
Speaker 8: asking for our products. So you know, it's a perishable

1392
01:07:44,600 --> 01:07:46,400
Speaker 8: so it's like, we can't send it from here to

1393
01:07:46,520 --> 01:07:50,360
Speaker 8: Canada unless it's super temperature controlled, and you know we

1394
01:07:50,600 --> 01:07:52,800
Speaker 8: need from the point of pickup to be a temperature

1395
01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:55,360
Speaker 8: control truck. Then the vessel of ship needs to be

1396
01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:56,360
Speaker 8: temperature controlled.

1397
01:07:56,360 --> 01:07:56,959
Speaker 5: Then when it.

1398
01:07:56,880 --> 01:07:59,400
Speaker 8: Gets there, whoever picks it up. It's just so many

1399
01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:03,520
Speaker 8: opportunities for there to be an issue that we would

1400
01:08:03,560 --> 01:08:06,120
Speaker 8: need to put a factory in that country and just

1401
01:08:06,280 --> 01:08:09,720
Speaker 8: make it there. So the goals now is that as

1402
01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:13,439
Speaker 8: we increase our revenue to have more dispensable income where

1403
01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:17,040
Speaker 8: we can start setting up different factories in different countries.

1404
01:08:17,880 --> 01:08:20,080
Speaker 8: So I'm in the process right now of raising capital,

1405
01:08:20,439 --> 01:08:25,160
Speaker 8: whether it's with my current investors or new investors, where

1406
01:08:25,200 --> 01:08:30,040
Speaker 8: we can scale at a much quicker pace than we

1407
01:08:30,080 --> 01:08:32,479
Speaker 8: are right now. So that those are some of the plants,

1408
01:08:32,479 --> 01:08:35,400
Speaker 8: and then also future skews. You know, we talked about

1409
01:08:35,439 --> 01:08:39,840
Speaker 8: the Seams packets, you know, skincare line, and then we're

1410
01:08:39,880 --> 01:08:44,800
Speaker 8: also in the process now formulating things for plants and animals,

1411
01:08:44,840 --> 01:08:48,160
Speaker 8: and you know, we're just really digging a lot deeper

1412
01:08:48,200 --> 01:08:52,599
Speaker 8: into the uses of seamos. I even plan on coming

1413
01:08:52,600 --> 01:08:56,640
Speaker 8: out with like our own hair brand kind of you know,

1414
01:08:56,960 --> 01:09:00,720
Speaker 8: like a bomb for the beard or conditioner because Semas,

1415
01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:03,000
Speaker 8: if you take the gel, ladies will put it in

1416
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:05,840
Speaker 8: their hair as a leaving conditioner and then rent it

1417
01:09:05,880 --> 01:09:08,320
Speaker 8: out like twenty minutes later, and they'll talk about the

1418
01:09:08,360 --> 01:09:10,439
Speaker 8: shine of it, the thickness of it, the.

1419
01:09:10,360 --> 01:09:11,400
Speaker 5: New growth of it all.

1420
01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:14,240
Speaker 8: So it's like, okay, instead of you taking like the

1421
01:09:14,280 --> 01:09:17,720
Speaker 8: food supplement and doing that, what we manufactured into an

1422
01:09:17,760 --> 01:09:21,360
Speaker 8: actual shampoo conditioner, you know, and all these things. So

1423
01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:24,200
Speaker 8: these are some of some of the goals on the list.

1424
01:09:24,400 --> 01:09:27,320
Speaker 8: And then one thing that I'm excited about. So even

1425
01:09:27,360 --> 01:09:28,920
Speaker 8: though I've lost a lot of weight, I'm not at

1426
01:09:28,960 --> 01:09:29,719
Speaker 8: my goal yet.

1427
01:09:29,880 --> 01:09:31,160
Speaker 5: So this year.

1428
01:09:32,439 --> 01:09:34,599
Speaker 8: We're finishing, We're going to drop the rest of the weight,

1429
01:09:34,640 --> 01:09:37,960
Speaker 8: but we're gonna film it and document it, and the

1430
01:09:38,080 --> 01:09:41,800
Speaker 8: goal is to show people that show people my transformation,

1431
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:44,439
Speaker 8: like the first part of my transformation was off camera,

1432
01:09:44,880 --> 01:09:46,800
Speaker 8: so this time I want to film it with a

1433
01:09:46,880 --> 01:09:50,120
Speaker 8: camera crew and everything and literally show them the recipes

1434
01:09:50,160 --> 01:09:52,760
Speaker 8: I'm making, show them the workouts I'm doing, and create

1435
01:09:52,800 --> 01:09:55,800
Speaker 8: a digital playground where people can come and start transforming

1436
01:09:55,840 --> 01:09:58,759
Speaker 8: their own selves and becoming the best version of themselves.

1437
01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:03,160
Speaker 8: So there's a digital component, an app component, a game component.

1438
01:10:03,479 --> 01:10:07,040
Speaker 8: We're actually in the process of making characters for all

1439
01:10:07,080 --> 01:10:09,240
Speaker 8: of our flavors so we can have our own anime,

1440
01:10:09,760 --> 01:10:12,639
Speaker 8: you know, like Seams anime for the kids and stuff

1441
01:10:12,640 --> 01:10:14,559
Speaker 8: like that. So there's a lot of things in the

1442
01:10:14,600 --> 01:10:17,439
Speaker 8: works that I can't wait to see actually come out

1443
01:10:17,840 --> 01:10:18,439
Speaker 8: to Fruition.

1444
01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:21,760
Speaker 9: You have the Transformation Scholarship as well, so there's a

1445
01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:23,719
Speaker 9: philanthropy part of it as well and giving back.

1446
01:10:23,920 --> 01:10:26,360
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, absolutely so.

1447
01:10:26,439 --> 01:10:30,559
Speaker 8: Transformation Scholarship is pretty much what we're going to do

1448
01:10:30,680 --> 01:10:35,160
Speaker 8: is sponsor people paying for their gym membership, their personal training,

1449
01:10:35,880 --> 01:10:38,280
Speaker 8: giving them free seams of course, and getting them a

1450
01:10:38,320 --> 01:10:41,400
Speaker 8: nutritionness and a mental health coach so that they can

1451
01:10:41,439 --> 01:10:44,080
Speaker 8: become the best versions of themselves. So instead of it

1452
01:10:44,120 --> 01:10:46,880
Speaker 8: being like a school scholarship that you will pay for classes,

1453
01:10:47,800 --> 01:10:51,000
Speaker 8: the scholarship is to transform yourself so you'll have all

1454
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:54,040
Speaker 8: the support and the resources that you need to do.

1455
01:10:54,080 --> 01:10:58,599
Speaker 8: So recently, we started with one person that actually works

1456
01:10:58,640 --> 01:11:02,240
Speaker 8: for my company, and he's over He was over six

1457
01:11:02,360 --> 01:11:05,880
Speaker 8: hundred pounds, and we decided that we were going to

1458
01:11:05,880 --> 01:11:09,000
Speaker 8: sponsor his journey. And he's already down one hundred pounds,

1459
01:11:09,400 --> 01:11:12,559
Speaker 8: you know. So he was our first and I said, hey,

1460
01:11:12,720 --> 01:11:15,160
Speaker 8: why should we pick a random person when we have

1461
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:17,160
Speaker 8: people that works for the company that needs it too.

1462
01:11:17,800 --> 01:11:20,840
Speaker 8: And so I told him, I said, hey, this isn't

1463
01:11:20,880 --> 01:11:24,240
Speaker 8: for pr this isn't to even talk about unless you

1464
01:11:24,320 --> 01:11:26,639
Speaker 8: want to. And I think he's getting to the point

1465
01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:30,200
Speaker 8: where he wants to start talking about his transformation. So

1466
01:11:30,240 --> 01:11:32,400
Speaker 8: that one's kind of off the radar, but it's near

1467
01:11:32,400 --> 01:11:34,040
Speaker 8: and dear to me because you know, he does really

1468
01:11:34,080 --> 01:11:36,840
Speaker 8: good work for our company and we just love that

1469
01:11:36,880 --> 01:11:39,680
Speaker 8: guy and want to see him succeed. But the way

1470
01:11:39,720 --> 01:11:41,599
Speaker 8: it would look once we open it to the public

1471
01:11:42,080 --> 01:11:44,639
Speaker 8: is that we will we will capture their journey, and

1472
01:11:44,760 --> 01:11:48,240
Speaker 8: just how I'm capturing my transformation with the documentary that

1473
01:11:48,240 --> 01:11:50,960
Speaker 8: we're finishing this year, we will do the same for

1474
01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:53,920
Speaker 8: the people we select where because somebody might see my

1475
01:11:54,040 --> 01:11:56,960
Speaker 8: story and get really motivated. But they might see the

1476
01:11:57,000 --> 01:12:01,280
Speaker 8: single mom that's going to night school and juggling being

1477
01:12:01,320 --> 01:12:05,240
Speaker 8: a mom, you know, an employee and a student and

1478
01:12:05,720 --> 01:12:08,120
Speaker 8: see that she was still able to transform, and that

1479
01:12:08,160 --> 01:12:11,200
Speaker 8: motivates someone else because they're in the same situation. So

1480
01:12:11,400 --> 01:12:13,439
Speaker 8: the goal is to really like put a lot of

1481
01:12:13,479 --> 01:12:17,400
Speaker 8: people in a basket where there's representation for everyone and

1482
01:12:17,439 --> 01:12:18,479
Speaker 8: you're like, oh, I can do this.

1483
01:12:18,840 --> 01:12:19,880

01:13:04,240 --> 01:13:06,719
Speaker 8: and it needs to be talked too, especially in our community,

1497
01:13:06,760 --> 01:13:09,000
