Um. 169 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: One day I was sitting and I thought, looking at 170 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 1: my shoes, honestly, how can I make this more comfortable? 171 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 1: I went to my shoe repair guy um at the time, 172 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: and I asked him, what is an amount of rubber 173 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: that I can put on the bottom of my shoe? Um, 174 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: and I can still walk in it safely and comfortable. 175 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:41,439 Speaker 1: So uh, we came up with in size or an 176 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: amount of rubber. I picked up the shoe about a 177 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: week later, and I wore that shoe, and I kid 178 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: you not, I was taking my shoes twenty and thirty 179 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 1: pair at a time for him to put this extra 180 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 1: rubber on the bottom of my shoe. Mm hmm. So 181 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: it was just like an idea. It's really it's really 182 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: amazing that you were able to not saying that you care, 183 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: not incapable of so many women out there probably feeling 184 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: the same pain and then you decided to just to 185 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 1: take action on it. And when you took action on it, 186 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: it enabled you to create a business. Now, how do 187 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 1: you get into the business aspect of what you're doing? 188 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: That's the that's the that's the key. Now you know 189 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: you you went from a person who are wanted to 190 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: be an actress. You got this idea, Now you're putting 191 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 1: it in action. How do we get into a business 192 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: mode with it? So before anything, I thought, you know what, 193 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: let me see if this is even a thing anywhere 194 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: else or whatnot?

I'm 198 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:04,440 Speaker 1: past that. I went to patent lawyer. Okay, Yeah, So 199 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: I went to a patent lawyer and we had to 200 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: do what is called a patent research, which searches the 201 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 1: database first to see if there's anything else in the 202 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:23,559 Speaker 1: US patent database. That is what shogun me is and 203 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 1: we've seen that it was not, and that's where we 204 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: moved forward. Had to get all the terminology the lane 205 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: going together to start to create my patent application. Wow, 206 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 1: Now on your website said it took two and a 207 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: half years for your patent to go through. Yes, okay, Now, 208 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: were you're afraid that somebody will steal your idea?

No? No, honestly, 214 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: at that point, I wasn't selling products.

She asked about certain types of phones 414 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 1: and things like that, so I pointed her in the 415 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:43,159 Speaker 1: right direction. Uh. She's also a steamstress, so she had 416 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:49,399 Speaker 1: all these industrial machines too, So together the sponges and 417 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 1: all that good stuff. So we got the We got 418 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 1: the right home. We put it together for a year, 419 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 1: a year and a half, tested it out ourselves, and 420 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: I just thought it was time to go with it. 421 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:11,679 Speaker 1: And so maybe not even a month ago, we launched that. 422 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:22,679 Speaker 1: I built the website for us, and we are active. Honestly. 423 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 1: It's come at a time where things are so slow 424 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 1: right now. But if you don't put that, if you 425 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,160 Speaker 1: don't put that foot forward out there, then you don't 426 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 1: know what's going to happen. We know the thing about 427 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 1: I just we all know why it's slow. We all 428 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 1: understand that people people don't you know, people right down 429 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 1: struggling to find out how to put their they foot 430 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,679 Speaker 1: forward in anything right now. The thing I like about 431 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: you is that you're not letting conditions stop you from 432 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 1: moving forward. Because I tell people, I tell people all 433 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 1: the time, this is a good time to chop, it's 434 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 1: a good time to plan. See right now, I'm planning 435 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 1: for the third and the fourth quarter right now because 436 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 1: I know right now this country, this country is gonna 437 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 1: get back on his feet. And when he gets back 438 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,200 Speaker 1: on his feet, it's not going gonna be walking fat, 439 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 1: It's gonna start running. And what you don't want to 440 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,119 Speaker 1: do is sit on your rear, end on your behind, 441 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 1: or mope around and talking about, oh man, what I'm 442 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 1: gonna do. No, you're planning, you're thinking, and throughout this 443 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 1: whole interview, Chantelle, that's all out. That's my biggest takeaway 444 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 1: from you is that you're not a person that sits 445 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 1: around and mopes. You're not a person to go if 446 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 1: it's not happening over here. Oh always me, I just 447 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 1: is not gonna happen for me, you go. What's planning 448 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,399 Speaker 1: a over here that I can build on? Is that? 449 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 1: Is that something that came from your parents? It's something 450 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:48,200 Speaker 1: that just a natural quality in you. Um. I would 451 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 1: definitely say my parents have helped with that, especially my dad. 452 00:27:53,840 --> 00:28:00,439 Speaker 1: My dad on the pest control service in Florida. So, um, 453 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 1: he's an entrepreneur himself, so I have taken those good 454 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 1: qualities from him. Well, also my mom like he's a 455 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 1: very hard worker, still go to school and she's uh 456 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,399 Speaker 1: three years old. I believe I love it, love it, 457 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:27,119 Speaker 1: love it. I would tell people, don't let age determine 458 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 1: your dream. Don't let age tell you can stop being 459 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,399 Speaker 1: something that everybody else tells you you shouldn't be. I 460 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 1: would look at people at my age. I go you 461 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,399 Speaker 1: to my same age. I'm really shocked because I know 462 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,720 Speaker 1: I don't look like you. It is when people will 463 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 1: decide that they need to retire in life, is when 464 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 1: age jumps on their back. Chantell, I don't think age 465 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 1: is ever gonna jump on your high heel.
