202
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 4: stuck in trafficking here in Atlanta and you just look

203
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 4: because you don't know.

204
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,200

217
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 2: ask what can I do? But it's another thing for

218
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,839

316
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,839
Speaker 2: I sat down with award winning actor, best selling author,

317
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 2: and entrepreneur Hell Harper. He stopped by and talked about

318
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 2: how his thyrot cancer diagnosis led to his role as

319
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 2: a health and wellness ambassador, teaching everyday people how to

320
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 2: live healthier lives.

321
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 6: We believe that a lot of the root cause of

322
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 6: cancer has to do with what we put on our skin.

323
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 6: Our skin is the largest organ in our body, and

324
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 6: it enforces everything. Just as if you ate it, your ender, consistent,

325
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 6: your liver, your kidneys have to deal with it. And

326
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 6: they said, the reason why I'll never be tested because

327
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 6: the same companies that make the lotions that contain the aluminum,

328
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 6: the petroleum, the parabis and the oils and all these things.

329
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 6: The same companies who make that are also the same

330
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 6: companies as a drug company, So they're never going to

331
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 6: do a long term study of the effects of.

Speaker 4: we do have a fund with the fundraiser program where

363
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:32,000

Speaker 4: which is which is great.

365

367
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 4: to spend as much money for these particular programs.

368
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 3: So you know, fundraising.

376
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:03,840

378
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,119

390
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,320

401
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 2: What's that say about you? First reference to you, Ryan,

402
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 2: and it was to say about you Grig, would you Ryan?

403
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 2: We did that from day one, honestly because we wanted

404
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 2: to give back. I wasn't raised with a silver spoon

405
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 2: raising PEERI Illinois single mother food stamps used to go

406
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 2: to the food bank, standing the line, I don't eat

407
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 2: hot dogs right now and salmon croquettes because that's what

408
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 2: they gave us for free back when I was young.

409
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 2: But so you know, we come back from very humble,

410
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 2: very humble beginnings. But with this business. That was a

411
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,159
Speaker 2: goal when we first started, was to be able to

412
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 2: give back. My first week in business, somebody showed me

413
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 2: a cheerleader cheerleading squad and MacDonaugh that sold fifty six

414
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 2: thousand dollars in popcorn and they made in four days.

415
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 2: And they made twenty six thousand for their organization in

416
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 2: four days.

417
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 1: In four days. That's how big.

418
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 2: If you really got the if you really got the

419
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 2: team or the group around you a push, and you

420
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 2: do a push, you can make money. And guess what,

421
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 2: there's no upfront costs. So what as you said, one bag,

422
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 2: three bags, five hundred bags, you still make something and

423
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 2: you didn't have to invest anything. So what's better than

424
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 2: what's better than free?

425
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 7: Right?

426
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 1: Right?

427
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,919
Speaker 2: This is this is the plap. This is the approach

428
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 2: that you have with your business model for people who

429
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 2: want to raise funds for the organization, for organization, for

430
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 2: your business for anything. Nobody want to go on vacation,

431
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 2: actually have somebody wanted to go on vacation.

432
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 4: So they said, instead of me just going out begging

433
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 4: and asking my family members to send me to Spain,

434
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 4: let me just do a fundraiser where they can walk

435
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 4: away with.

436
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 1: Something and they get something. Wow.

437
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 2: You know, we people go to church in the pastor

438
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 2: be like, you know, everybody put twenty dollars, now put

439
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:32,919
Speaker 2: twenty dollars, but you're gonna get a back a popcorn

440
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 2: with it.

441
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 3: You're gona get something.

442
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 2: You're gonna get something.

443
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 3: You know, you're gonna be able to see you, You're

444
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 3: gonna see something.

445
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 1: I love these guys. I'm telling something.

446
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:40,320

Speaker 2: it away. Let's get back to this popcorn because I

449
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 2: know we have like seven minutes level. They tell me

450
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,439
Speaker 2: when I you know, they stopped the music, they stopped

451
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 2: the jazz.

452
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 1: Just let me talk.

453
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,520

595
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 2: with this popcorn so far? The response and honestly, the

596
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 2: thing that's captured me the most is the people who

597
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 2: are in positions to help, how much they have, how

598
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,880
Speaker 2: people have kept their word right, you know, I guess

599
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 2: I love that. Give me a call and they actually

600
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 2: answered wing we called.

601
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 7: Right.

602
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 2: There's one thing I'll tell my children. People don't have

603
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 2: to do nice things, and when they do it don't

604
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 2: have to be for you. So the people that actually

605
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 2: reached out and actually been true to their word and

606
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 2: the public, the honest responses and so forth, that's been

607
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 2: mind blowing to me.

608
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 4: What about you, It's gonna be the fan reaction, Like

609
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 4: I love it. You know, I'm a people person. So on,

610
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 4: Like like we said, we batt in a thousand We've

611
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 4: never had a customer, and I probably stand on the

612
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 4: fact of saying, we've never had a customer to say

613
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 4: I just don't like anything. They may prefer one flavor

614
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 4: over another, but they've never said there's nothing here that

615
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 4: you have to offer that.

616
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,680
