Speaker 5: What are we creating? How are we going to get

151
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 5: this done? And ultimately going all the way through to

152
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 5: the end of what do you want your finish packaging

153
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 5: to look like? And then we kind of build it

154
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 5: from the ground up. So you know, whatever niche you

155
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 5: may be in, or whatever type of product you want,

156
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,840

157
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,800

00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 5: get you where you need to be and then get

159
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 5: ready to launch you in to the marketplace.

160
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 3: So you help formulate like alcohol, sodas, any kind of beverage.

161
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 5: Correct, So yeah, I mean you name it, we we

162
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 5: do it anything you can. We kind of joke around

163
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 5: about anything you can kind of put down your throat.

164
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 2: But yeah, uh sounds fun, right, anything from like, yeah,

165
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 2: supplement drinks, BCA drinks, coffee, water, soda, energy drinks from Boocha,

166
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 2: you name it across the gambit.

167
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 5: If we're able to do iced teas, lemonade, you name.

168
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 2: It nice and then and then so at your facility,

169
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 2: do you guys just make the formula or do you

170
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 2: guys actually package the whole product from soup to nuts.

171
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 5: We're currently we're expanding into full blown manufacturing under one

172
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 5: roof right now, we're working on strictly formulation, branding, uh,

173
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 5: you know, websites, social media, things of that nature, the whole.

174
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 5: Right now, we're getting we're getting ready to move here

175
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 5: facilities by the end of the year, and by next

176
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 5: year we're going to have a full blown manufacturing facility,

177
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 5: so we can do a lot of proof concept and

178
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 5: pilot type of run.

179
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 4: And now you're not handing the recipe card over to

180
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 4: them and putting them on their own. Because I know

181
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 4: some good friends of mine and the and the roofing industry, etc.

182
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 4: That wanted to launch their own brands for the roofers,

183
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 4: or some good friend of ours in the trucking space

184
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 4: had thought of an idea for that beverage. So from

185
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 4: formulation to recipe, you then put them in touch with

186
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 4: manufacturers or how do they then get it to the

187
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 4: end results?

188
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 5: Right, No, that's a great question. So currently what we're

189
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 5: doing as we go through the formulation and branding process,

190
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 5: we help them with essentially everything. So beverage as a whole,

191
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 5: it's really broken down into three major functionality, the first

192
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 5: one being R and D or research and development, branding,

193
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 5: packaging basically everything you can imagine inside or outside the cannabomb.

194
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 5: Then the phase two with the functionality two would be manufacturing.

195
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 5: That's where now we take this concept and put it

196
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 5: in to make it into actual physical product. And the

197
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 5: third step in that process is your ongoing sales and distribution.

198
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 5: We help you through each each phase of that process

199
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 5: as you need it. We'll be present as much as

200
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 5: you need us to help walk you through that process.

201
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 5: And we'd really trying to make it seamless, and we

202
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 5: don't do it. We don't throw all the information at

203
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 5: our clients all at once. We kind of step them

204
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 5: into it and walk them into it that way. You know,

205
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 5: thirty sixty ninety days, they turn around and go, wow,

206
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,559
Speaker 5: we've learned an incredible amount about this process or this business.

207
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 4: Speaking of the timeline you just mentioned, so again, Blues

208
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 4: a celebrity. He wants to come in and maybe he

209
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 4: wants to start his own energy CBD water for the

210
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 4: sake of a better argument, right, And he comes in,

211
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 4: he meets with you, your staff, the chemist. What is

212
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 4: it from that point to the point to where he

213
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,439
Speaker 4: can deliver it to his friends or promoted at a festival.

214
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 5: Typically, we like to say about six months that we

215
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 5: can really varies depending on how present some of the

216
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 5: brand owners are. Oftentimes we'd like to use a rule

217
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,319
Speaker 5: of thumb about sixty to ninety days for development itself

218
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 5: and then another sixty to ninety days for manufacturing and

219
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 5: sourcing all the raw materials and things like that. But

220
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 5: we can fast track the development process by having our

221
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 5: clients come in house and that way we can do

222
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 5: in house tastings and iterative sessions with them, so we

223
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 5: can go after version one, two, three all at once

224
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 5: rather than having them, you know, ship sample. So oftentimes

225
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 5: there if speed to market is you know, one of

226
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 5: the necessities of the brand owner, then we can very

227
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 5: well easily make that happen.

228
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 4: And you know, I'm not an expert in the space,

229
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 4: but I've religiously watched Shark Tank, and I know the

230
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 4: life cycle of a beverage product and how expensive it

231
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 4: is to go to market. But some of the numbers

232
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 4: that I heard you talk to us about earlier in

233
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 4: the in the meeting. First of all, the six months

234
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 4: seems really short because you are probably just cutting the

235
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 4: learning curves in attam absolutely. But then the costs that

236
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 4: you were talking to us, you know, talk about if

237
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 4: Blue wanted to roll out, say thirty thousand units right

238
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 4: now for the next festival we have coming out. Give

239
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 4: us a ballpark number of what that would cost.

240
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 5: So for full development and all the way through to manufacturing.

241
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 5: And this, you know, is seeing our clients own their

242
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 5: intellectual property, so they own their own formulas. We're not

243
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 5: using anything kind.

244
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 3: Of stock or off the shelf, which is awesome.

245
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 5: So everybody owns their own property. Massive you know, thirty

246
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 5: thousand units, we're probably looking at, you know, forty thousand.

247
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,079
Speaker 6: In so fifty thousand put in a case.

248
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 4: His own brand at the next hand, ready to go aluminium.

249
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 6: This aren't jinky products. I can test to that myself.

250
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 2: But what if you wanted to do like a custom

251
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 2: bottle or a custom can, I mean, what does something

252
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:15,839
Speaker 2: like that look like?

253
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 3: Is that something in your guys will or do they

254
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 3: do that? You know?

255
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 5: It is so when we get into custom cans are

256
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 5: really not really a thing yet just because there's only

257
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,839
Speaker 5: so many ways that they can actually manufacture and put

258
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 5: the what's called the end or the cap on the

259
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 5: on the top of the can when they seem it.

260
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,199
Speaker 5: But when we get into custom bottles, we're looking at

261
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 5: you know, typically glass, and in that space we can

262
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 5: really kind of mold it and create the mold for you,

263
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 5: or even in plastic or what are called pet bottles,

264
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 5: which is probalyethlene dilate, the type of plastic that they use,

265
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,959
Speaker 5: we can essentially create the mold or have it in

266
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 5: bossed or have it however you really want it, and

267
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 5: have the glass blown to that spec or plastic as well.

268
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 6: Nice.

269
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 3: You know.

270
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,719
Speaker 2: I I look at this and I think, you know,

271
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 2: there's probably so many tricks in this industry, because you know,

272
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 2: when you said you let them walk away owning their formula,

273
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 2: I mean, are there companies that don't let them walk

274
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 2: away with their formula? And I say tricks because I think,

275
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 2: you know, I would hate to not know that I

276
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 2: wasn't owning my own formula, and that I spend fifty

277
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 2: thousand or one hundred and fifty for that matter, and

278
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 2: then I or a million and realize that I don't

279
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 2: even own the formula.

280
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 3: You know, So does that happen often?

281
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 5: It doesn't. That's unfortunate. There are some companies out there

282
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 5: that will actually do private label type of products, and

283
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 5: that's great, and that has a definite place in the market.

284
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 5: If you truly want to create your own brand, have

285
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 5: your own brand, identity, own everything outright. There's a lot

286
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 5: of folk that they won't, and unfortunately we're saying their

287
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 5: time and time again that people have to come back

288
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 5: to us, reformulate, and essentially start the problems over, especially

289
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 5: that they can own.

290
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: An an problems.

291
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 4: That's that's different. Hey, that's something from our world, Like

292
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 4: at least my world. I get shell shot because we're

293
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 4: so used to getting screwed out of our intellectual property,

294
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 4: our content. I imagine some content creators where you think

295
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 4: you're putting it on the platform, you realize it's not

296
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 4: even mercy you canceled its con But I can attest

297
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 4: to you as your character that I.

298
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 6: Don't think that's the way you do this.

299
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:12,719
Speaker 4: And you're one of those dudes that pays a fowl

300
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 4: it doesn't talk about what he do and he just

301
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 4: does it.

302
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 6: Loki and I can't wait to talk about with you.

00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 5: I perched my first house at nineteen or of the

336
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 5: college and good for you. And so I realized that

337
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 5: the mortgage was less than my rent. Yeah, and so

338
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 5: I had a couple of fraternity brothers moving with me,

339
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 5: and shit, I had my mortgage paid and your money.

340
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 5: How did I go wrong?

341
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 3: You know?

342
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 6: Yeah?

343
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,200

Speaker 2: It was.

354
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 5: I would say, it's not necessarily crypto, but like those NFTs, yeah,

355
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 5: getting getting into.

359
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, with crypto, I only got the no risk. I

360
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 4: got all risk and all no reward for me.

361
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 2: I don't like, I don't know, like one hundred and

362
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 2: eighty thousand down to like six thousand, right, just like overnight.

363
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's five thousand, nine ninety nine point nine more

364
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 4: than we have left.

365
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 3: I just took six thousand out of my taking right

366
00:15:58,280 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 3: down with all right man.

367
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 4: Question number three, what is the best present you've ever

368
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 4: bought yourself?

369
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 5: Time?

370
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 6: Time?

371
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 5: But I say what I say by that is by time,

372
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 5: it's really time to take a vacation, kind of unwind, decompress. Uh,

373
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 5: just kind of check out and give myself an opportunity

374
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 5: to whether it be three days, five days, just to relax,

375
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 5: do nothing, do what I want, like golf relax.

376
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 6: Now is this intentional?

377
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 4: You know, everybody takes vacations, Everyone's like I went to Vegas,

378
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 4: that was my time.

379
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 6: But I have a feeling that this.

380
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 5: Is They're very intentional, especially after a big wind river

381
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 5: trip or camping exactly, just something to really just disconnect.

382
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 5: So yeah, whenever after a big win, you know, I'm

383
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 5: kind of going hard at it. It's nice.

384
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 6: It's just kind of unplug and I love that we

385
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 6: were talking about that today.

386
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 2: It's just like you know, I mean, I I thoroughly

387
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 2: enjoy going camping, dirt bike riding, going to the river.

388
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 2: You know, casinos are cool, you know what I mean,

389
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 2: But I don't really get at the real relaxation. I

390
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 2: come out of their film like I'm, you know, still working,

391
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 2: you know, like I'm like, you know, because it's it's

392
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 2: really again. You know, there's no better time than sitting

393
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 2: now with your friends and family, having a bonfire in

394
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 2: the middle of the desert and just you know, enjoying

395
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 2: the night. I think those are the best for me.

396
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 2: Question numberfore, what is your best present you ever bought

397
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 2: for someone else?

398
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 5: Oh, it's a good question. Probably, that's a that's a

399
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 5: very good question.

400
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 4: This one stumps everybody. So by the way, Joe I

401
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 4: practiced this, but this is his question. It's a good one,

402
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 4: you know, I probably you think it's probably sports memorability.

403
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 4: That about my father.

404
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:54,959
Speaker 5: You know, he's been a huge influence in my life

405
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 5: and you know, just a very nice, stable, solid role

406
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 5: model and figure to kind of look up to that

407
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 5: you know, you know, we enjoy going to Dodger game.

408
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 6: He's still with us.

409
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 3: That's good.

410
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 4: Is there a specific a piece that you remember or

411
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 4: is it just in general that they all remind him?

412
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 5: General? Probably one of the probably one of the better gifts,

413
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 5: I would have to say was getting on the field

414
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 5: at Dodger Stadium to meet Dave Roberts and the man

415
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 5: Like and a lot of the players and take pictures

416
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 5: with them, And that's a huge fall sign. Actually balls

417
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 5: have been played with in the in the infield.

418
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 3: Whoa whoa whoa different shows right.

419
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 6: In the infield, And.

420
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 5: So it was it was really nice to kind of

421
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 5: give back to him and kind of watch his because

422
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 5: you know, he'd been growing up on the Dodger games

423
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 5: as well. So to really be able to kink of

424
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 5: give that back, it's probably one of the best things

425
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 5: I've ever given somebody.

426
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 6: Very cool.

427
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, my dad's really close to me too, and sometimes

428
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 4: I just think about man Like. It's those little things

429
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 4: that matter to him even you know, for me, I

430
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 4: always try to one up myself, whether it's a vacation

431
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 4: or a gift, But it's those little things.

432
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 6: That I think me and the most of them.

433
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 5: Absolutely, it's the other thing that are going to be

434
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 5: you know, he growing up, he created so many priceless

435
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,199
Speaker 5: memories with me that you know, it's just nice to

436
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:07,360
Speaker 5: be able to kind of do the same now.

437
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 4: And you mentioned he was a he was a figure

438
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 4: in your life that kind of led you into this direction?

439
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 6: Was he in the field at all?

440
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 5: Or No, he's in nucer medicine, so kind of sorts

441
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 5: of science and kind of run in our family.

442
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 6: Just nuclear medicine, that's all.

443
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 5: But yeah, it's he never kind of pushed me into

444
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 5: any any one direction. He's always, you know, it's always

445
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,360
Speaker 5: been very supportive of whatever endevor I wanted to kind

446
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 5: of go down all.

447
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 6: Right now, question number five.

448
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 4: They always say that money doesn't buy happiness, but I

449
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 4: always say, it's pretty fucking hard to be happy without.

450
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 6: Money, right if you think about it.

451
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 4: But if you could buy one thing and money is

452
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 4: not an object, what would that one thing be?

453
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 5: Legacy?

454
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 6: Yeah? Tell us more.

455
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean money is great, and I mean we

456
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 5: can all spend it in the day, but you know,

457
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 5: there's nothing like being able to have your family set up,

458
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 5: you know, for the future, not having to worry about

459
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 5: where am I going to do this? What am I

460
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 5: going to do for this? Or will I ever have

461
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 5: any struggles? So yeah, the best thing money could ever

462
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 5: buy money, to me, it would be legacy or the

463
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 5: actual ability, uh, you know, to leave something behind. You

464
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 5: know that Hey, I did this, I was here. Yeah,

465
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 5: you know, this kind of happened because of me, you know,

466
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 5: and then maybe inspire others to follow my footsteps.

467
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I was.

468
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 2: I always tell people, you know, you're not truly dead

469
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 2: until the last person says your name, Oh great, you know,

470
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 2: And and I mean that like, you know, I look

471
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 2: at it like you know, if if you're saying, if

472
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 2: someone is bringing up you know, you know your father's name,

473
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,679
Speaker 2: like my dad's name is very right, you know, And

474
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 2: and you know he's dead, he's passed away, but he's

475
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 2: his legacy and his life still is here because we

476
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 2: still remember him, you know, we still talking about him.

477
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 2: But I don't know his dad's name, right, and then

478
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 2: his dad's dad's name, you know, and so on and

479
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 2: so forth. And I think, you know, it's it's why

480
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 2: we create, you know, and we build, you know, for me,

481
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 2: it's it's why I'm building, you know, content.

482
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 3: I think it's a legacy comes with that. You know,

483
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 3: it's very similar Lane.

484
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:05,199
Speaker 5: Right, absolutely, you know.

485
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 4: I like that though, Dennis, In terms of legacy, do

486
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,120
Speaker 4: you feel like you've accomplished that? Is there more things

487
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 4: you want to do or do you feel like, at

488
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 4: least that goal.

489
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 6: You have enough assets, name, you've built a great company.

490
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 4: What more do you want to do in that in

491
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 4: that regards, kind of accomplish that goal before you pass, you.

492
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 5: Know, obviously continue to grow and scale the business. Just

493
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 5: for me. You know, maybe some of my family would

494
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 5: want to come in on my nieces or nephews or

495
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 5: someone want to follow my foots u's there. But then

496
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 5: you know, going forward, you know, just helping out with

497
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 5: other charitable organizations and really just kind of giving back.

498
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,919
Speaker 5: I mean, I've been blessed with the ability to do

499
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 5: so much that just kind of pay it back to

500
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 5: the other people in need. Yeah, you know, one of

501
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 5: the reasons we started your last name is not Moralesy.

502
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 4: One of the reasons we started financial Fridays on this

503
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 4: platform was to.

504
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 6: Really help the audio.

505
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 4: You know, you got a lot of entrepreneurs that are

506
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 4: listening to And one thing that I talked about on

507
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 4: the first episode was when I was at my darkest,

508
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 4: it was surrounding myself by people putting myself in networks.

509
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 4: And when people ask me, now I have ten thousand

510
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 4: dollars with should I invest in? My answer is always

511
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,199
Speaker 4: investing in yourself, right, And you and I met actually

512
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:20,959
Speaker 4: through that time period. I think it was about we

513
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 4: were doing the math today and I think it was

514
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 4: about three three and a half four years ago, and

515
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 4: I was kind of a dark time in my life.

516
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,360
Speaker 4: I was kind of trying to reinvent myself, start back

517
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 4: up from zero after losing five million, et cetera. And

518
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 4: I met you in a networking group called APEX and

519
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 4: then from there you actually became a member of the

520
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,199
Speaker 4: Insider Investor Club and that's that's a community that we

521
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 4: actually have never spoke about on the show yet. Joe Grande,

522
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 4: my co host who's not here today, was saying, tell me,

523
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 4: I've seen what you're doing with that website. You know,

524
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 4: I think we need to talk about that more. And

525
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 4: I'm kind of like you when it comes to my

526
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 4: other verticals. I don't really talk about myself enough. But

527
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 4: that's something that I met through you. And if you

528
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 4: could talk about the audience, your experience in these different

529
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 4: networking groups and what you have found in the Insider

530
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 4: Investor Club, because that's something that we're going to start

531
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 4: talking about.

532
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 6: A little bit more on the show.

533
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 5: You know, as far as like the Insider Investors Club goes.

534
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 5: But one of the better things is everything's been vetted.

535
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 5: I don't have to do that. I don't have to

536
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 5: do the homework. I just show up and Tony's like, hey,

537
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 5: we've got this, this and this, and I know he's

538
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 5: done his homework. I know he's really gone to bat

539
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 5: for all of us, and I'm like, I'm good. I'm

540
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 5: in versus otherwise it's going to it tically compresses time,

541
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 5: which again going back to time priceless. So if I

542
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 5: can come to you and you've already gone the homework,

543
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 5: I'm in Yeah, you know, I'm not looking to, you know,

544
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 5: do nine months of my own research and then pull

545
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 5: the trigger for why you know. And so so the

546
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 5: groups like the Investors Club is great because it really

547
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 5: helps you with that and you're surrounded by other like

548
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 5: minded people who are kind of entrepreneurial in nature, and

549
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 5: it's just a lot of fun. You know, there's no

550
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 5: sense in you know, investing in making money with people

551
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 5: that are born. I mean, the whole goal is to

552
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 5: you know, really enjoy the time that we have. And

553
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 5: why I don't enjoy like to people who were kind

554
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 5: of in it with you. Everyone's got skin in the game.

555
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:03,640
Speaker 5: So let's have fun together.

556
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 4: And you know, full disclosure, that club and Blue You know,

557
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 4: you and I have been talking about this for a while.

558
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 4: When I left Wall Street, I got tired of, quite frankly,

559
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 4: being a salesman. You know, you're a financial advisor, but

560
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,880
Speaker 4: you're only getting paid if you sell shit, and if

561
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,400
Speaker 4: that product went down, you lost money, the client loss.

562
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 4: I'm sorry the client lost money, but the firm made

563
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,239
Speaker 4: money and I made money. Now, if you bought a

564
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 4: stock through me, that thing went down and I had

565
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 4: to sell it at a loss, I still made money. Right,

566
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 4: So with the club that the vision was to really

567
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 4: provide education. It wasn't to sell anything. I don't have

568
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 4: my licenses anymore. We don't make a commission. Its generally

569
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 4: me and Dennis will partner up. If we wanted to

570
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 4: buy this building and help you guys expand to the

571
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 4: new territory you've been talking about. We go to the club, like,

572
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 4: here's the math. You guys want to invest with us,

573
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 4: we can. You know, we'll take the debt and we

574
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 4: do it together. So it truly becomes family and friend

575
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 4: and investing. But like you said, having fun doing cool things.

576
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,160
Speaker 4: You know, hanging out with the in Vegas with Kolio.

577
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 4: I think you were there with us, you know, rest

578
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 4: in peace, Coolio, but from Hawaii to Florida. But I

579
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 4: think it's the education. I don't want anybody to be

580
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 4: scared of the word investment. It's it's educating. And you

581
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 4: said something, it's time and you know, we've our investments

582
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 4: are not perfect. We're getting screwed on a couple of

583
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 4: investments we've made. But the difference is Dennis isn't having

584
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 4: no go worry about hiring attorneys, doing a paperwork. He

585
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 4: knows like, hey, my money's my money's on the hook

586
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 4: with him. So that's really important to me, you know.

587
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 4: And I think anybody at home looking at investing or

588
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 4: putting your money with someone, what is that person going

589
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 4: to lose if you lose your money? And what is

590
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,360
Speaker 4: that person going to gain if you lose your money?

591
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 4: And ask yourself those questions. And you've been around the

592
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 4: block too, and I'm sure you've had some investments go south.

593
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well you know they're not they're not all winners, Yeah,

594
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 2: they're really not. Yeah, And it's it's it's interesting because

595
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 2: you know, when when building out my education platform, and

596
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:48,679
Speaker 2: and and understanding like you know, uh, you know, you

597
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 2: have opportunity to see people grow and win, and then

598
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 2: see people do nothing with what they got, you know,

599
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 2: and and and sometimes people get involved with you know, groups,

600
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,439
Speaker 2: and they just don't to take the opportunities. You know,

601
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 2: you missed one hundred percent of the shots you don't

602
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 2: take right, you know. And and and then there's there's

603
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 2: and then sometimes it's like I remember when I first started,

604
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 2: I was, you know, looking for you know, investors, I

605
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 2: was looking for investments, and and then you know, here

606
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 2: I am, I'm fourteen years into it, and I'm thinking, well,

607
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,239
Speaker 2: maybe I should take them on now, because back then

608
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:25,360
Speaker 2: I didn't have the investors right, no one, no one

609
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 2: believed in it, right. And then it's like all of

610
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 2: a sudden, you know, fast forward fourteen years later, people

611
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 2: are like, holy, I mean I all money is not

612
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 2: good money.

613
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 5: You know.

614
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 2: I've seen sometimes you sit with people and you just

615
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 2: can't like, dude, I don't even I can't even sit

616
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 2: with you long enough.

617
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 6: To want to hang out with you.

618
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not gonna you know.

619
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 2: And I was explained that to Tony because we were

620
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 2: talking about doing investments and bringing investments on. And it's

621
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 2: one of those thoughts it's like, you know, do you really.

622
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 3: Want to you know, you don't really need to, but

623
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 3: do you want to? Do you want to grow?

624
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: You know?

625
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 3: Do you want that opportunity?

626
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 2: And and and and and then every time you grow,

627
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,719
Speaker 2: you take an opportunity of actually breaking too, because you know,

628
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 2: you're you're you're excelling.

629
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 3: You know.

630
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 2: I remember going from the not having a building to

631
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 2: get in a building. Right then it's like, okay, now

632
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 2: I got a bigger building. And then I had this

633
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 2: massive facility. And then I seen COVID hit and I

634
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 2: go whoa, And I just watched everything go whoof and

635
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 2: it get super lean. And then I watched it, you know,

636
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 2: expand even harder, and I was just like, holy shit,

637
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 2: it's getting massive. And then it's it gets tight again

638
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 2: to a sense where it's like it's not that it's

639
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,679
Speaker 2: tightest it you start to level out, you know, and

640
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 2: then you're like, okay, I see the growth and then

641
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 2: and then you know, we so we just decided to

642
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,959
Speaker 2: expand into Asia, you know, and we're looking to expand

643
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 2: into you know, ten ten new states, you know, throughout

644
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 2: the United States, And as I'm watching that, I'm thinking

645
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,640
Speaker 2: the same thing. You know, there's so many investors out there,

646
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 2: so many opportunities. What are some of the things that

647
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 2: you have, you know, would tell someone out there that's

648
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 2: looking to get into their own business, you know, to

649
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 2: look out.

650
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,919
Speaker 5: For, right, you know, the first and most important thing,

651
00:27:59,920 --> 00:28:04,439
Speaker 5: I would say, it's always bet on yourself one thousand percent,

652
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 5: because nobody will work towards your goals like you will it.

653
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:12,199
Speaker 5: So that's first and foremost. Otherwise things to look out for,

654
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,439
Speaker 5: just kind of be careful who you surround yourself with.

655
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 5: You are who you walk with right exactly. So you know,

656
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,120
Speaker 5: there's a lot of people out there giving bad advice,

657
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 5: so just be able to kind of sift through all

658
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 5: that and kind of go with what works for you

659
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 5: and what you firmly believe in, and stay true to

660
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 5: your own values. Don't deviate, don't yeah say well if

661
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 5: I did it this way, you know, just to kind

662
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 5: of speed speed things up, we're kind of there's no

663
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 5: sense in really trying to skirt the work, you know,

664
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 5: as long as you, like I said, biggest things would

665
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 5: believing yourself, always bet on yourself. Should I even double

666
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 5: down on myself and yeah, just do the work. And

667
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 5: really there's gonna be a lot of you're gonna see.

668
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 5: It's crazy that the people closest to you're gonna be

669
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 5: the most negative. Yeah, which which is wild.

670
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 3: They scare you the most, right, Yeah, they're the scare tactic. Well,

671
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 3: if you do it's like me, oh, don't you you

672
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 3: don't want to do that. You're like, what what do

673
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 3: you mean?

674
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 5: They make it?

675
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 4: They're following you there, but they want to comment when

676
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 4: you were up top, none of them they're still watching.

677
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 3: Well, you know, it's like.

678
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 2: You know, looking at people and saying like, you know,

679
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 2: I don't believe in you because I look at you,

680
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 2: you know, and and it's like, wait, you don't understand

681
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 2: my journey, you know. And and and I think you know,

682
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 2: when you look at people and you're like, I don't

683
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 2: know your journey, I don't. Like like we were talking

684
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 2: out at break about like when he met he he

685
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 2: just looked at me like, Okay, this guy's a clown,

00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 3: And he's like clown. Then I'm like, I think he's

689
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 3: talking to my attorney, you know. And I don't even

690
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 3: know why I thought that. I just heard him talk

691
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 3: and I heard something some key like point in public.

692
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: Da.

693
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 3: I'm like that, yeah, you know, and and I was like,

00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 3: who are you talking to?

718
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 4: Once again, we're here with Dennis Morales from the Drink Labs.

719
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 6: Before we left, you had a little question that you

720
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 6: wanted to ask. What was the question? I faking forgot

721
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 6: because I.

722
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 3: Didn't forget it.

723
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 4: I was just seeing if your vans you know, the

724
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 4: blue meth here kind of you know what I'm saying.

725
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 3: So so, Dennis, I mean, you know, what's what.

726
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 2: Are things that people should look out for, you know

727
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 2: in this space, particular the bottling, the formulations, the you know,

728
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 2: the the beverage industry.

729
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:28,479
Speaker 5: So one of the bigger things to probably look out

730
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 5: for is to really different yourself, differentiate yourself in the

731
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 5: market places. I mean, it is a competitive landscape, but

732
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 5: there are so many gaps in the market that are

733
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 5: underserved that there's really place for everybody. You know, everybody's

734
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,719
Speaker 5: got their own unique spin or the unique niche on something.

735
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 5: And just again one of the bigger things too, I

736
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 5: firmly believe in owning your intellectual property. If you own

737
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 5: your formula, no one else can copy it, no one

738
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 5: can take it. It's yours. Yeah, then if you choose

739
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,239
Speaker 5: the license it later more power to you, you know.

740
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 5: But one of the biggest pitfalls, I would Sarah, one

741
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 5: of the biggest things I really look out for is

742
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 5: as you navigate your way through this process, just to

743
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 5: really figure out who your what your brand ethos is,

744
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,239
Speaker 5: who your target avatars are, and of course own your

745
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 5: own in property.

746
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 6: Love it, Love it, Dennis.

747
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 4: I'm gonna make sure that we do something here because

748
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 4: you're such a humble dude that you will continue educating

749
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 4: us without talking about the cool shit you got going on.

750
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 6: And one other thing before I go that route.

751
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 4: You know, we may have listeners listening and our friends

752
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 4: at iHeart there is no meth on the set. You

753
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 4: got some really cool stuff here from from the lab

754
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 4: that you got down here, a lot of beach. We

755
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 4: got some beakers here that I've only seen on that show.

756
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 4: And tell us a little bit about the equipment you

757
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 4: got here and how that's part of the process. So

758
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 4: a lot of it's a lot of it's really standard

759
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 4: lab equipment.

760
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 5: You're here. We have some flasks with on stirplates typically,

761
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 5: you know, rather than hand mixing things worth like a.

762
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 4: Spoon or has that a chockol ice. I've seen it

763
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 4: float for like an hour and a half and it

764
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 4: hasn't melted.

765
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 5: And you know that's funny. That's say a tought on

766
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 5: stir bar. So it's basically a magnet inside there and underneath,

767
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 5: so they spin in opposite directions and that's what helps

768
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 5: it create that vortext to really create a nice, smooth,

769
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 5: homogenious and the rest. And a lot of you guys

770
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 5: have seen in any kind of typical science class just

771
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 5: the standard beaker that uh it's easy to you know,

772
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 5: things are easily mixable and then easily to pour from

773
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 5: and transfer things.

774
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 6: And these aren't just for show like you guys.

775
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 5: Literally took these off the shelf on my way here.

776
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 4: Now, tell us about some of the cool things you're doing.

777
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 4: You know, last night I was flipping through I think

778
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 4: it was Fox or ABC, and I saw you and

779
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 4: then I'm like, is that Dennis?

780
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 6: Is that really you?

781
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:34,479
Speaker 5: Yeah? That was me as I was on Gordon Ramsay's

782
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 5: Food Stars.

783
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: Wow.

784
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was brought on as one of the experts

785
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 5: to help one of the contestants. And it was kind

786
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 5: of funny. Yesterday my phone was just blowing up and

787
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 5: you know at eight nine o'clock as it was airing.

788
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 5: But I didn't know you were on TV.

789
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: I didn't.

790
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was the first time though that's what's the

791
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 4: premise of that show was I know Gordon's big, and.

792
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 5: Yeah he was huge. Potentially the premise of that show was,

793
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 5: you know, there was several contestants and all had different

794
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 5: unique products in the food and beverage space. So then

795
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 5: the function was kind of like who was? Then it's

796
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 5: just like your typical Bordon Ramsey show a reality.

797
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 4: You were the consultant for the gal who was? If

798
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 4: I saw you guys got second place, right, we were on.

799
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 5: The runner ups. And yeah, her product was a Vietnamese

800
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 5: coffee which tastes phenomenal. Really yeah, shout out to fat milk.

801
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 3: And so you helped formulate that product.

802
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 5: We helped. We're helping with the We didn't help on

803
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 5: the formulation side. She has a very robust recipe. We

804
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,359
Speaker 5: were helping to educate her on the taking it now

805
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 5: from scaling it from kind of a homebrew or kind

806
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 5: of in shop brew into now into a mass market

807
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 5: appeal where it could be bottled and ready to drink.

808
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 4: And Vietnamese coffee has got kind of like Vietnamese fu,

809
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:45,879
Speaker 4: right like if you got like a little abalito that's

810
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 4: doing some cool fu. You can't replicate that unless you

811
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 4: formulate that is that correct with the coffee as well.

812
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 5: Correct because we had to make sure that the integrity

813
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 5: maintains itself through you know, standard processing methods.

814
00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:59,919
Speaker 6: So you got second place, a runner up on that show,

815
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 6: up on that show that first place.

816
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 5: There was another gentleman last night, and Chris has a

817
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 5: company called smart Cups, which ironically I've had the several

818
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 5: years ago, had the opportunity to work with him as well.

819
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 6: Look at you, you get around, but in a good way.

820
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 5: Smart Cups, so it's great. They have this really interesting

821
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 5: technology with prints ingredients on the bottom of a cup,

822
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 5: so all you do is just add water.

823
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 4: Oh wow, it's kind of like a vodka soda. So

824
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 4: it's just a plastic cup with.

825
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 5: So they have energy drinks because they can do everything

826
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,840
Speaker 5: anything from mouth washed to alcohol. Energy drinks alcohol not

827
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,800
Speaker 5: yet just because there's a lot of regular choice regulatory

828
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,839
Speaker 5: involved there. But you have lemonade iced tea and it's

829
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 5: all imprinted.

830
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 3: You know.

831
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 5: They stasically dehydrate the ingredients and you just pour water

832
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 5: on top and give it, give it a few minutes

833
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 5: or not even that, less than a minute and ready

834
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:50,919
Speaker 5: to drink.

835
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 6: That's awesome and dude, you're always doing cool shit.

836
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,720
Speaker 4: So outside of the Netflix show, I'm sorry, the shows

837
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 4: that wrapped up last night, what else are you working with?

838
00:35:57,960 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 4: Some other artists that you can't talk about. You got

839
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 4: the who shows, You've got the beverage brands, the tequila name,

840
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 4: some of the things that we can look out for

841
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 4: that we can help support, sponsor, and and uh, you know,

842
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 4: anything that you got coming on.

843
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 6: I always feel like I got to ask you.

844
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 4: My ass would have been like everybody's talking about it,

845
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:16,360
Speaker 4: I would have been promoting it.

846
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 6: I would have hoard myself that right.

847
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 5: So with a lot of our clients, we're under such

848
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 5: strict nda because kind of like in a platform like this,

849
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 5: somebody who would discuss it, of course you know there'd

850
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:29,919
Speaker 5: be a million other people out there trying to replicate it.

851
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 5: But yeah, as far as our as drink Labs goes,

852
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 5: we're getting regearing up for a massive expansion.

853
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,240
Speaker 4: And uh, now are there brands that you're personally involved

854
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 4: in to where you're not just consulting, but you're taking

855
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 4: equity ownership to where it's the item that's on the

856
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 4: shelf in the military, Is that something.

857
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 5: That's right on the black Bulkhead. Yeah.

858
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying, Like, that's such a.

859
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:51,800
Speaker 3: Talk about that.

860
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so it's an innergy drink based

861
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 5: uh you know, military based for the military from the military. Uh,

862
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 5: gentlemen from the from several Uh gentleman from the Navy

863
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 5: actually started the brand. And it's just blowing up all

864
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,800
Speaker 5: up and down, uh California, Florida.

865
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:09,400
Speaker 3: San Diego.

866
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, and all the Navy exchanges on all the bases

867
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 5: go Navy. Right.

868
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 4: I thought I thought what you said was interesting earlier

869
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 4: you said, you know, it's one of the few products

870
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 4: that is actually branded developed by a military person in

871
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 4: a military store, whereas you walk into the military there's

872
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 4: Doritos and et cetera. It seems like such a logical concept,

873
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:28,879
Speaker 4: but nobody had thought of that before.

874
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 6: And here you guys are.

875
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 4: And I've always said the easiest way to make money

876
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 4: is look at somebody else already making money and then

877
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 4: look at a disconnect in the marketplace.

878
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 6: And that's exactly what you guys did with that product. Right.

879
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 5: So yeah, Bullhead Energy.

880
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 6: It's amazing.

881
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 2: And what's one of the most interesting products you've ever made?

882
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 5: Wow, it's it's I've worked on things from you know,

883
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 5: meal replacements for the elderly, Yeah, all the way through

884
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 5: to formulists for you know, you would infuse into like

885
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 5: a gaster tube. Yeah, all the way to you know,

886
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 5: fun and exciting energy drinks with some great branding. Yeah,

887
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,799
Speaker 5: I mean coffee has been really fun. One it's it's

888
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 5: kind of funny as an aside. Everybody thinks that coffee

889
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 5: is just like this really robust product, but coffee in

890
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,399
Speaker 5: itself is really delicately as you work with it. Yeah,

891
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:19,320
Speaker 5: so that's always been a fun there's always a fun challenge.

892
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 3: But I mean, isn't that coming from a coffee bean though?

893
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 5: It is, But you know, the the roasting process, cupping process,

894
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 5: there's so many steps.

895
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 6: The stability life, I imagine.

896
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 2: Absolutely, And so something's pretty good probably on coffee right again, how.

897
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 5: It's processed, you know, how it's commercially processed. But yeah,

898
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 5: I mean there's there's so many fun and unique things

899
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,280
Speaker 5: out there. And like I said, as I was talking before,

900
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 5: as everyone's developing their own niche then you know, so

901
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:47,360
Speaker 5: there's you know, we worked with a lot of Instagram

902
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 5: influencers now ah, you know, putting pushing product at the

903
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 5: marketplace based on their own platform.

904
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:58,240
Speaker 2: Micro or massive influencers both both.

905
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 5: Yea more we have more activity on the microside, but

906
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 5: we have a handful of of big ones.

907
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:07,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, Dennis, we were joking about the blue meth earlier

908
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:10,840
Speaker 4: from Breaking Bad? Obviously, but what was the chemistry on

909
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 4: that show? Was it pretty accurate? You know, they did

910
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 4: a lot of chemistry. There was a lot of you

911
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 4: know it. But I've always been curious to ask that.

912
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 5: I've no, it was all fabricated, yes, because for for

913
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 5: several reasons. One, they can't teach how to make meth

914
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 5: on TV. But yeah, you know you're watching the science

915
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 5: of it. It's not it's not what you think would be.

916
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 3: Do you know how to.

917
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 5: Anty another day?

918
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 6: I love it? I love it.

919
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 4: Look, man, one of my favorite questions to ask, because

920
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 4: I wish that somebody would ask this of my mentors.

921
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,360
Speaker 4: But there's probably somebody listening to home right now who's

922
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 4: hearing your voice looking at these items, or maybe you

923
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 4: just motivated them to get into the space, to get

924
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 4: into chemistry. But looking at that little entrepreneur at home,

925
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:54,760
Speaker 4: or that person who wants to pivot in their field,

926
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 4: what's the number one piece of advice or just a

927
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 4: few sentences of what you would do to tell them

928
00:39:59,520 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 4: if you were there.

929
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 6: I'm setting at home right now.

930
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:05,319
Speaker 5: Definitely follow your dreams. If you think it and you

931
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 5: are interested in it, pursue it. Otherwise, you know, you

932
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 5: don't want to be you don't want that ship to

933
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 5: have sailed that. If anything, you're going to gain knowledge.

934
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 5: So definitely follow your dreams, pursue your passions.

935
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 4: And if they want to get into this specific line,

936
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 4: be it chemistry or beverage, is there a particular.

937
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:25,760
Speaker 6: School parallel a path that you would recommend.

938
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 5: There's you know, there's several different programs. You can go

939
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 5: to the traditional chemistry route, you can go through food science.

940
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 5: There's several different routes you can kind of go to

941
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 5: gain the knowledge. But ultimately it's a lot of it's

942
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 5: going to be learned in the actual field. Like which

943
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:42,320
Speaker 5: is true in most most industries.

944
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,360
Speaker 3: Do you have to carry licenses in order to be

945
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:46,840
Speaker 3: able to formulate for people like this?

946
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, so we have our labors fully licensed through you

947
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:53,240
Speaker 5: fb A and you know, all the appropriate agencies. Everything

948
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 5: we do is FA compliant, So.

949
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,240
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, and another thing I've learned from Dennis

950
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 4: and just from being around him as friends is people

951
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,319
Speaker 4: think that, oh, you can just throw sugar and liquids in,

952
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 4: and for him, he has a full chemistry background. I

953
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 4: mean that was like literally working for big farmer companies

954
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 4: and real chemistry, you know, like I said, not just

955
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 4: making cool aid, no cool.

956
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 3: Being like me.

957
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 4: But he's really big on the ethical side of creating energy,

958
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:24,759
Speaker 4: you know, energy beverages. And we were in the back

959
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:26,799
Speaker 4: joking about some products that have come out that could

960
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:29,360
Speaker 4: actually hurt kids when it comes to beverages and you

961
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 4: know from Redline pharmaceuticals, beverages.

962
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 6: Well even beverages.

963
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,400
Speaker 4: Wasn't there a few that that started becoming outlawed like

964
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:37,840
Speaker 4: Redline and these kids were taking like four of them.

965
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 5: On the ones they pulled the shelves were like four

966
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 5: loco and loco.

967
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's the world of beers.

968
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:44,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was like I remember that, And what was

969
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 3: the issue with that.

970
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,320
Speaker 5: Having both an energy component and an alcohol. So we

971
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 5: have a stimulant of depressant and too many people have.

972
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:57,439
Speaker 3: Heart attacks or you know, yea have heard issue patients. Yeah, yeah,

973
00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 3: I mean.

974
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 2: How did not is there a process that has to

975
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:04,279
Speaker 2: go through and then be certified I guess or.

976
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 5: Pass absolutely, especially in any alcohol space, in the ready

977
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 5: to drink space, non alcohol space, you know, we have

978
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:16,319
Speaker 5: FDA guidelines that we follow very strictly to maintain efficacy

979
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:19,839
Speaker 5: and you know, purity of the product. Sure, but when

980
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 5: you get into the alcohol space, you know, you go

981
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 5: through the different government agencies.

982
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 3: Much much harder. Sure to go through a lot more

983
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 3: red tape.

984
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 5: Right, absolutely and rightfully.

985
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 3: So what is that process? Is that a six month

986
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:32,280
Speaker 3: one year process, through year.

987
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 5: Process depending on the TTP is always really good to

988
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:38,399
Speaker 5: work with. It's a trade and Taxation bureau. Yeah. Every

989
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 5: time I've ever called them, they answer the phone.

990
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 3: So yeah, it depends who you are.

991
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 6: Yeah.

992
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:45,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, No, they have an eight hundred number that you

993
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 5: just call in as you're navigating through your process of

994
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 5: developing an alcoholic beverage. Yeah. They're very easy to speak to,

995
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 5: always responsive, and they're always willing to give information.
