1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: As what we just were talking about. I was stuck

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: in a rut and I needed to change and me

3
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: and Ash were talking and we wanted to move down

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 1: the Gold Coast, so I couldn't change what I was doing,

5
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: So I thought I needed to change my environment. And

6
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:24,119
Speaker 1: that is a pretty big key. Like that was for you, like,

7
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: don't run away from your problems, but I was. That's

8
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: what I did. Actually, I ran away. We're not really run.

9
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 2: Away, but I can say that because I think that's

10
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 2: such a key thing that shouldn't be overlooked. Is you

11
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 2: took yourself out of a pretty toxic environment because you

12
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 2: know where you were, and you move somewhere and you

13
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 2: change your environment, and that was really such a catalyst

14
00:00:49,800 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 2: for you really changing your life. Welcome back to the

27
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 2: welcome back to the Rise and Conquer Podcast. Today I

28
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 2: have a goody episode and one that has been much requested,

29
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 2: So today I'm joined with my brother and business partner,

30
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 2: Cooper Stevenson. For those who don't know, Cooper and I

31
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 2: co founded Naked Harvest Supplements in twenty nineteen. Naked Harvest

32
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 2: was really born because we saw a gap in the

33
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 2: market where we could provide all natural supplements that tasted good,

34
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 2: that actually did the trick, that actually did what they're

35
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 2: supposed to do, but they were not filled with a

36
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 2: crap that so many sports supplements are currently. So in

37
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 2: today's chat, we dive deep into how we started Naked Harvest,

38
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 2: how we market it, how we've grown our team, and

39
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 2: it's really getting into the basis of Cooper's big life change. Because,

40
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 2: as you're hear our, Cooper didn't finish high school. He

41
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,239
Speaker 2: left in grade ten and he is a plumber by trades.

42
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 2: We both do not have any background in business or

43
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 2: anything like that. And today I'm so proud to say

44
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 2: Naked Harvest is such like a strong and successful company.

45
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 2: We had a goal of becoming a seven figure company

46
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 2: in a year, and we reached that in nine months.

47
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 2: We've grown our team to twelve, we have launched over

48
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 2: ten products. There's just a lot going on, and I'm

49
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 2: so proud We've created this huge community called the NH

50
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 2: Gang and really like we are living our passion, like

51
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,800

00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,119

53
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 2: to listen of Cooper's really inspiring story of leaving his

54
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 2: secure job where you know, he had his own business

55
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 2: and plumbing and then leaving it or taking a risk

56
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 2: and taking bold action and starting Naked Harvest with me,

57
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 2: and yeah, it's just really inspiring. I'm really excited to

70
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 2: put a question box on my Instagram and we were

71
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 2: flooded with questions, so we didn't get to them all.

72
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 2: And even though the podcast is quite long, there's still

73
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 2: so many we want to answer, Like I'd really love

74
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,920

86
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 2: occasion because I'm not gonna lie. We don't often have

87
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 2: males on the show, so this will be interesting a

88
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 2: bit different. Mind the second one, we should I thank

89
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 2: you the second one. I think Tim was the first.

90
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: So Tim, yeah.

91
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 2: We did a relationship, that's right. Yeah. So I wanted

92
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 2: to do this podcast because Naked Harvest's birthday is it's

93
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 2: about four months away. Will be too soon? Is that

94
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 2: not insane?

95
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: I know it's gone so fast.

96
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 2: It's crazy because it's gone so fast. But then also

97
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 2: I feel like we've been doing it for such a

98
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 2: long time, so it feels almost longer sometimes too. Yeah,

99
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 2: I can't remember my life before Naked Harvest. Now I can, Okay,

100
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 2: Cooper can, and we're about to get into that. But yeah,

101
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 2: I wanted to do this podcast because, as you guys know,

102
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 2: me and Cooper co founded Naked Harvest. It is an

103
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 2: all natural supplement brand, and we've got kind of a

104
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 2: cool backstory where you know, Cooper was a plumber his

105
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 2: high school dropout, and I was doing laws and completely different.

106
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 2: We joined forces a little sibling duo, if you will,

107
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 2: and yeah, we've kind of created some magic. Like I

108
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 2: think Naked Harvest is definitely one of my proudest compliments

109
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 2: to date.

110
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: It just shows you can do anything no matter where

111
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 1: you are in your life.

112
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, so young Cooper's got a really interesting backstory. So

113
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 2: let's get straight into it, because I think this podcast

114
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 2: might be a bit long. And so what we're going

115
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 2: to do, guys, is we're going to chat about like

116
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 2: Cooper's background, how Naked Harvest started, and then we're also

117
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 2: going to get into common questions that I put on

118
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 2: a story and you guys are wanting to know, so

119
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 2: lots of questions about, you know, how do we work together,

120
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,559
Speaker 2: who does what in the business, how did we even start?

121
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 2: We very much started from scratch and all your biz questions.

122
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 2: So also before we get into the show, guys, we

123
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 2: actually have a New Year Better You sale happening at

124
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 2: Naked Harvest. It's just a coincidence, so it goes live

125
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 2: the same day, so it makes you head to Naked

126
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 2: Harvest to get the code and stuff, because it's like

127
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 2: we never really do just a percentage off all our products,

128
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 2: but we're doing like a sale just we thought it

129
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 2: would be good you know, if you've got some New

130
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 2: Year goals and you want to stock up on your

131
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 2: favorite supplements to get it and kick kick those goals off.

132
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 2: We thought we'd do a little sale just because we

133
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 2: know jan you know, Christmas has happened and all that jazz.

134
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 2: So yeah, make sure you check that out after the interview.

135
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 2: If you're not listening to this in real time, then

140
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 2: strange to the show. So Cooper tell us a little

141
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 2: bit about your.

142
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: Background, just to wrap it up, wrap it up. It's

143
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: a long story. But so when I was younger, I'd

144
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: love to always be doing something. I love sports. I

145
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 1: was always active, Yeah, active, I could always catch on

146
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: to things pretty quick with sports.

147
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 2: He's so cornered coordinated. Guys, it's like to the point

148
00:08:58,440 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 2: where it's annoying.

149
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,719
Speaker 1: I come from you.

150
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, me, so, me and the two older brothers above Cooper,

151
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 2: we're all shocking at sport. And then Cooper was this

152
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 2: like weirdo who's so good at sport. Can I tell

153
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 2: the netball story? So I sorry to hijack the interview already,

154
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 2: but I literally played netple for six years. I was

155
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 2: like just you know, getting a handle of it. I'm

156
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 2: not a coordinated person at all. And then so you know,

157
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 2: played Nepple had. This team was just getting good. One

158
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 2: of our players dropped out and we needed someone to

159
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 2: fill in, so Cooper. We got Cooper to play with

160
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 2: us because it was a mixed team. He literally plays

161
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 2: one game and he's the best, and everyone's like Cooper

162
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 2: has to stay, and they like made him captain and

163
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:49,359
Speaker 2: I was so often.

164
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: A second game.

165
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 2: It was so off it. I was like, this has

166
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 2: taken me six years to skill.

167
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: Well, I think you would how were you wing attack?

168
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 2: I'd always be on the the worst one. You couldn't

169
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 2: go in the d You couldn't anyway. Long story, long

170
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 2: story short, Cooper's very coordinated. Yes, sorry, keep going, And

171
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 2: then tell us about you know, high school getting into

172
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 2: your profession before Naked Harvest.

173
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: Yes, high school. I never I had school. Primary school

174
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: was all right, but I got into high school and

175
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 1: it got a bit harder and.

176
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 2: You have difficulty like learning, like you just didn't.

177
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 1: Well, yes, I had to. I had to.

178
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 2: Most males don't like the way they teach.

179
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: You know, in high school, Yeah, I couldn't comprehend the

180
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: way people spoke, like the way people did test, the

181
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: way they worded it. I had troubled understanding it. But

182
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: like if someone was to say abbreviate it and say no,

183
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 1: it means this, I'd be like, oh, yeah, here's the answer.

184
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, I always had to study for tests. I

185
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: always had to do assignments, and I couldn't just wait

186
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: last minute. I would still have to try my hardest.

187
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: And yes, yes, but yeah, I had a high school

188
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: didn't like it. So I got the opportunity to My

189
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 1: dad's a plumber and he was plumbing for his whole life,

190
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: and as well as my brothers they were also plumbing.

191
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: So I thought, why they.

192
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 2: Say our doubt and our brothers, because I'm literally a

193
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 2: super Who are you talking to?

194
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: Yesemie, Yes, So our dad has been a plumber for

195
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: He was a plumber for thirty years and he had

196
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: his own business, So I thought, yeah, he pretty much.

197
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 2: Dad was very convincing to you guys to become plumbers.

198
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: Hey, he was, actually he he just in his eyes.

199
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: It was the best job. You couldn't make more money

200
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,199
Speaker 1: in any other trade, in any other business than plumbing.

201
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: And that's the way he kind of.

202
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 2: Smashed a little bit of a background. Guys. Our parents

203
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 2: kind of you know, they came from nothing, Our grandparents

204
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 2: moved over from England and very much you know, worked

205
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 2: in factories. Very much came from nothing. And so when

206
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 2: mom and dad built the plumbing business up to be

207
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 2: quite successful, that it's really you know, the whole story

208
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 2: of coming from nothing doing this good thing. And so

209
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 2: I think growing up because of the way that mum

210
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 2: and dad grew up, we were never kind of taught

211
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 2: to like go after dreams or you know, do things

212
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 2: that you really love.

213
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 1: No risk, really not so much to risk.

214
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 2: It was more like very practical and is this job

215
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 2: going to make you money? Not do you enjoy it?

216
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 2: That was all he was laughing pretty much. But that

217
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 2: was like it was never really an option because mom

218
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 2: and dad never got that option. They just had to

219
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 2: you know, and that they didn't know. Yeah, and that's

220
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 2: very much like the boomer generation. I feel like that's

221
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 2: how they think. And so I can kind of understand

222
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 2: what you're saying in regards to like it was just

223
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 2: kind of pushed upon you. And our two older brothers

224
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 2: too also were plumbers, so easy option.

225
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, so yes, I did my apprenticeship. Then I started

226
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: out as on wages, and then I was a subcontractor

227
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: for a couple of years, and then that's when Dad

228
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: decided to send me retire, and so he gave the

229
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: opportunity to give the business to my two other older brothers,

230
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: our older brothers as well as myself, and they did

231
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 1: say for me not to do the business because of

232
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 1: stress levels and they just know how it was. But

233
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: I was just too cy and I wanted to do

234
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 1: something more, and so I took it on and just

235
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: did step by step a couple of days, and then

236
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: then yeah, just progressed into going full time. I got

237
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: an apprentice and then but yeah, with plumbing, it just

238
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: I was never fulfilled. I used to dread coming off

239
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: a weekend, and coming onto a weekend would be the

240
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: best thing ever, so I didn't have to work, and yeah,

241
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: and just got into a bad rap.

242
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 2: Can I just quickly interrupt and touch on that, because

243
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 2: let's be super transparent and really like real of the audience,

244
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 2: like Cooper actually got in a bit of a It

245
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 2: was a bit of a dark time of your life,

246
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 2: wasn't it, because you were partying a lot, very dark

247
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 2: And I can kind of understan what you understand what

248
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 2: you're saying, Like you hated your work, so you lived

249
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 2: the weekend. You're going out a lot on the weekend.

250
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: It was too much stress. So I had so much stress.

251
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: I was my wage was covering up my wife and

252
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: my child, which.

253
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 2: So yeah, Cooper and.

254
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: As dress levels just really pushed me to the limit,

255
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: and it was it was getting too much, so I

256
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: was looking for things to escape, you know, escape scape

257
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: pretty much.

258
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, so a little bit of background, Cooper and Ash

259
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 2: accidentally got pregnant when you're twenty two one twenty one,

260
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 2: twenty one and had Body. So if you guys have

261
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 2: me on Instagram, you'll know Body. He's like literally the

262
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 2: most beautiful little boy ever.

263
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: He's the best thing.

264
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 2: So the best thing. But you know, young parents, Cooper,

265
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 2: you know, had his own business. You can imagine that

266
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 2: stress and then that's what kind of you know, pushed

267
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 2: you to live for the weekends and turn to you know,

268
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 2: alcohol and gambling and all that.

269
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is really sad, but that's just what happens, yeah,

270
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: with life.

271
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 2: And it was just to think a bit of a

272
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 2: shit time in your life. And I think, you know,

273
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 2: obviously now you've come through and done it three sixty.

274
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 2: Well let's get into that. So let's chat about One

275
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 2: of the main questions was how was Naked Harvest even you.

276
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: Know, come to light as what we just were talking about.

277
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: I was stuck in a rut and I needed to

278
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: change and me and Ash were talking and we wanted

279
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: to move down the Gold Coast, so I couldn't change

280
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: what I was doing. So I thought I needed to

281
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: change my environment. And that is a pretty big key

282
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: like that was saying, you like, don't run away from

283
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: your problems, but I was. That's what I what I did.

284
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: Actually I ran away. We're not really run away.

285
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 2: But I didn't say that because I think that's such

286
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 2: a key thing that shouldn't be overlooked. Is you took

287
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 2: yourself out of a pretty toxic environment because you know

288
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 2: where you were, and you move somewhere and you change

289
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 2: your environment, and that was really such a catalyst for

290
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 2: you really changing your life.

291
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: Yep, everyone told me not to do it. And when

292
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:11,640
Speaker 1: people tell me that.

293
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,919
Speaker 2: This is weird if people say he can't do something,

294
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 2: he just wants to do it.

295
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: More fuels you gone towards businesses because I have a

296
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: problem with authority, but I wanted to do things a

297
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 1: certain way and in your own way. Yeah, and so yes,

298
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 1: I decided to move down the Gold Coast, which we

299
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 1: were able to purchase a house down here, a very

300
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: run down surf shack.

301
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 2: It's like a cute little beach shak.

302
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 1: Yes, and it's in a great area, but it definitely

303
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:52,479
Speaker 1: needed some TLC. So we did that and I just

304
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,719
Speaker 1: started to I still had the plumbing business, so I

305
00:17:55,800 --> 00:18:00,199
Speaker 1: was traveling to Brisbane every day, and that's when I

306
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: had a lot of time on my hands in the

307
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: travel and so I started to talk to Georgia on

308
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: the phone, and I was we're very open, aren't we, Like, Yeah,

309
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: I feel like we're the only are like our family,

310
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,439
Speaker 1: that's the only people I can talk to about money

311
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: and about what we're doing in life.

312
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 2: Yeah. So this is like, I don't know if you

313
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 2: guys have noted this, but I'm very open about talking

314
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 2: about money and so as like our family, and so

315
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 2: me and Cooper would often openly chat about how much

316
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 2: money we're earning or you know, different things, and that

317
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 2: is very normal to us. I know that's not necessarily

318
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 2: normal to other people, but for us, it was normal.

319
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: For sure, it was normal for us together.

320
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 2: Well, I think just money mindset and I actually did

321
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 2: a money mindset podcast just a few podcasts ago. Is

322
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,120
Speaker 2: some people really have in the head, you know, if

323
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 2: you have more money, it means you're greedy, and they

324
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 2: have all these different beliefs around money, and so it's

325
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 2: just not like a mainstream sort of thing. But me

326
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 2: and you were chatting about how much.

327
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 1: I still remember it. I remember. So I was talking

328
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 1: to you and I asked you how much you made

329
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:15,679
Speaker 1: that year and you told me and I I was like,

330
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 1: holy crap. And then I told I told Georgia how

331
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: much I was making and.

332
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 2: Can I can I just like put this into let

333
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 2: me just like preface this guy. So, and the reason

334
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 2: why we were chatting about this is this is the

335
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 2: year that I had quit my law job, which is,

336
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 2: you know, it's a very esteemed job. I had just

337
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 2: done six years of study. Everyone was like, what is

338
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 2: she doing? And so I had just quit my law

339
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 2: job and done you know, the side social media side

340
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 2: and you know, done an ebook and all these different things.

341
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 2: So Cooper was quite shocked that I had like gone

342
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 2: off followed my passions, actually done work that really like

343
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 2: sets my soul on fire. It makes me feel good

344
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 2: and like you know, made money too. Like it was

345
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 2: quite shocking because that's not that's not something we've brought

346
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:09,160
Speaker 2: up with.

347
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: I'm very nosy, So I like, like when people are

348
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: successful or something's happening good in their life, I want

349
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: to know. I want to know how they got there,

350
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 1: what they've done. So yeah, I asked Jeordia, and I'm like,

351
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 1: what are the what did you do? What are the

352
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: first things you started doing? And you said to me,

353
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,679
Speaker 1: I read, I listened to books on audible, and I

354
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: listened to podcasts, and I was just like, what do

355
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: you mean? And then yeah, you were like you said,

356
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: you used to listen to them on the train going

357
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: to going to your Lord.

358
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 2: So that's like, that's it's really interesting you say that,

359
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 2: because yeah, like, growing growing up in high school, even university,

360
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 2: I wasn't someone who read books or was that.

361
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: I can't read books.

362
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 2: Like we would never that was never our thing. And

363
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 2: I can't even remember how I got into it. But

364
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 2: I was listening to a lot of you know, like

365
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 2: I had just started my own business and it really

366
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 2: thrived in the first year. And Cooper was like, what,

367
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 2: how did you even do that?

368
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I given knowledge.

369
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, like I educate myself from podcasts. I'm always like,

370
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 2: you guys know, obviously this is a self development podcast

371
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 2: is every single day on you know, the bus to work,

372
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 2: I was listening to podcasts on how to start a business,

373
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 2: on how to do this and that. And that's actually

374
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 2: what kills me when people like you know, have an

375
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:34,159
Speaker 2: excuse of not doing something because we honestly have so

376
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 2: much free information on podcasts. You know, you do have

377
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 2: to pay for audible, but it's it's not too expensive

378
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 2: and there's just so many, so much free information where

379
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 2: you can kind of learn anything and really open your mind.

380
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: Knowledge is power. And you said that to me about

381
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:57,679
Speaker 1: podcasts and audible books. And I said, okay, so what

382
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: what's your preferred book? Try with that one book? Yeah,

383
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,120
Speaker 1: you said, all right, I got a really good one,

384
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 1: and it was how.

385
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 2: You guys are gonna guess which book this is.

386
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're a badass at making money.

387
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 2: You are a badass at Making Money by Jens. So

388
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 2: I gave that and I've said this so many times

389
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 2: to you guys, So I gave that book to Cooper.

390
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure I gave you my audible login don't

391
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 2: tell audible. And I was like, read this book. Cooper

392
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 2: literally read it to me two days, listen to it

393
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 2: in two days. I listened over like a month. Cooper

394
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 2: listened to it in two days and then called me up.

395
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: And was like fueled me. And then I had just

396
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 1: such passion.

397
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 2: Oh my god, so much passion A lot I.

398
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 1: Could imagine, like I see other people with that sort

399
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 1: of passion, and I'm like, oh.

400
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 2: Yes, Cooper went from Zerom twelve hundred and then from

401
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 2: then he would call me so many ideas every afternoon.

402
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 2: So then we would be, you know, chatting about out

403
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:05,120
Speaker 2: all these different podcasts and books and stuff, and yeah,

404
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 2: it was actually like you were so keen. But it

405
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 2: was so motivating for me too, because I had never

406
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 2: had someone to talk about these ideas. I had always

407
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 2: just had them spiraling in my head. So it was

408
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 2: actually really cool for me too. And then I kind

409
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:24,159
Speaker 2: of aligned, yeah, like we felt really aligned, really on

410
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 2: the same page. And this was for a good amount

411
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 2: of time, and then I remember it was like a

412
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 2: couple of months later, you were like, let's do something together,

413
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 2: like let's start a business. I want to do something

414
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 2: that lights me up every day.

415
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 1: That was the case. Yeah, So we were we had

416
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: a lot of ideas flowing, and we didn't quite catch

417
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: an idea together.

418
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 2: Know, we were like we had like Cooper is even

419
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 2: bring out stuff like, you know, activewear, but I was,

420
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 2: you know, with Jim Shark and all these different things.

421
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: It didn't quite work out. But then I remember I

422
00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 1: was at home and I we actually said I've always

423
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: I always wanted to do a supplement company. And then

424
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,640
Speaker 1: that kind of stuck in my head a little bit,

425
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 1: and I.

426
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 2: Thought that was also remember because I had issues with

427
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 2: that supplement company that being misleading and they had said

428
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 2: certain stuff was in their product when it wasn't. So

429
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,360
Speaker 2: Cooper also had that in his head of me winging

430
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 2: about that.

431
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and there's definitely a gap there for someone to film.

432
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 2: No, So Cooper calls me and he's like, oh my god,

433
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 2: I have the best idea idea ever.

434
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: And then well I actually said, I just I didn't

435
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: ask you to jump on I just said, look, I've

436
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: got this idea. I'm going to pursue it. What do

437
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: you wreck you?

438
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 2: He said, he's doing it. I'm like, mate, you're doing

439
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 2: it with me?

440
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, and then you loved it.

441
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 2: Can we quickly say the idea? So just fyi, guys,

442
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 2: this is something you guys don't know, but our whole

443
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 2: idea that we didn't end up doing because we couldn't

444
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 2: perfect the formula. But the whole thing of especially finding

445
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,239
Speaker 2: a gap in the market is we wanted to do

446
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 2: a pre work out that fizzed like a Baroka, but

447
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 2: a pre workout, and we had this really cool idea

448
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 2: that it was Cooper's idea and that was his big idea,

449
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 2: and so, like long story short, that obviously didn't end

450
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:13,919
Speaker 2: up happening because formula.

451
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: Get right down the line, and then it just didn't work.

452
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: It tasted so bad.

453
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it tastes like.

454
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: And then we just didn't normal.

455
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,640
Speaker 2: But that was the whole thing of like tapping into

456
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 2: the market, breaking the market. All right, let's because we

457
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 2: who spoke so long, then, so let's answer the next

458
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 2: couple of questions together. A big question is how did

459
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 2: we actually start? What was the process?

460
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,159
Speaker 1: Well, we had to do the foundation of it. So

461
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 1: we needed our ABN. We needed to check what we

462
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: did the names, big name, actually huge.

463
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:50,919
Speaker 2: And so we did this with Mel from the start.

464
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 2: Mel brought to the table this document with the structure. Yeah,

465
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 2: she had a whole heap of names. And then we

466
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 2: just went through at values.

467
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a big thing as well. And then

468
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: so we did the normal stuff.

469
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 2: We opened up a bank account together.

470
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 1: Bank account in the name. The ABN did all the

471
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: time consuming parts.

472
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 2: We also did, Sorry to interrupt people, we also did

473
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 2: a business plan. So Mel literally just got like a

474
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,719
Speaker 2: business plan off the internet and we went through and

475
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 2: we filled that out. And that was kind of what

476
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 2: you're saying about the values. You know, what do we

477
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 2: stand for? All that sort of thing. So we really

478
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:32,679
Speaker 2: started with that sort of simple stuff. Okay, So the

479
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 2: next question that they want to know is is there

480
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 2: anything you wish that we had done differently when starting?

481
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 1: I have thought about this, and no, I don't think

482
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: there's anything.

483
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:47,120
Speaker 2: I thought the exact same thing.

484
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:48,439
Speaker 1: I try to have a little think.

485
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 2: No, yeah, I think guys, Just to give you some insight,

486
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 2: it was like a good It took us a good

487
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 2: year before we launched.

488
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: Yeah it was just under a year, but like we

489
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: were only doing one day a week.

490
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, well I'm still working full time, and every.

491
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 1: They were the best days of the week. I couldn't wait.

492
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 2: Cooper used to be like, oh my god, I love

493
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 2: Wednesdays because I come and see you.

494
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 1: Now we got uber eats and then we chatted and

495
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: it was.

496
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 2: Like, Gooper's like, is this how you were Memel like, yeah,

497
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,360
Speaker 2: this is like a normal day.

498
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,679
Speaker 1: Cutting into my wage, but yeah, it was so worth it.

499
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 2: So Cooper literally we committed to every single Wednesday. He

500
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 2: came to my house about lunchtime. Mel was there and

501
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 2: we just really knuckled down and spent a good couple

502
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 2: of hours. So we like chipped away at Its very overwhelming.

503
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,959
Speaker 1: And this is the big thing I always think, and

504
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: I always talk to other people when they asked me,

505
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: is when you're overwhelmed so many jobs, make a list

506
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 1: and then do one thing. Just do the most important. Yeah,

507
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: just focus on that, don't think about anything else, and

508
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 1: then when you've done that, you tick it off and

509
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:02,439
Speaker 1: then you go to the next one.

510
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 2: That's such a good point. And that's like we literally

511
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 2: had a Google dop. Guys like have a Google doc,

512
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:09,919
Speaker 2: have all your list of things to do, and just

513
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 2: chip away at it. And that's what we did. And

514
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 2: so if you think about it, a couple of hours

515
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 2: each week is not a lot of time. And that's

516
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 2: how we chipped away at it. And you know, we

517
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,439
Speaker 2: probably could have done it a bit quicker, but like

518
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 2: you know, Cooper's working full time. I was doing still

519
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,639
Speaker 2: doing my stuff. Obviously, a business does not make you

520
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 2: money at the start. So this actually brings me to

521
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 2: the next question, and people want to know how long

522
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 2: did it take for you to go full time in

523
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 2: naked harvests?

524
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 1: The full amount would have been six but like three

525
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: months in I was getting another guy to do most

526
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: of my jobs.

527
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, of course I forgot about that.

528
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: Yeah and yeah, so then he and then a couple

529
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 1: of days, I didn't sell it. Actually I gave it

530
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: away because it is not sellable noted.

531
00:28:57,880 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 2: Yes, that's a whole nother story.

532
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I did got nothing. Oh yeah it was. It

533
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: wasn't the greatest thing.

534
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 2: But I think noting on that Cooper is people are

535
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 2: kind of wanting to know how long it took until

536
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 2: you could, you know, go full time in that and

537
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 2: something to note is Cooper actually went full time before

538
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 2: he was ready. Hey you did it.

539
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 1: So I went full time, but I we never took

540
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 1: a wage, We never did anything. So I was diving

541
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 1: into my savings like this. So that's like the passion

542
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: you have to have for a business, Like I risked everything.

543
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 1: I risked my house, I risked my wife. Well, she

544
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: never she doesn't think about money.

545
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 2: She would never doubt here.

546
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then so yeah, she believed and she's wanted

547
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: me to be happy. And she just said I.

548
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 2: Love that, because that's something people wouldn't know, is you. Like,

549
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 2: we literally didn't pull a wage for so long. Cooper

550
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 2: would just have to eat into his savings, but he.

551
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 1: Was so I was really worked into it and it

552
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 1: was a make or break. So if it didn't work,

553
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: I would literally I'd have to sell my house and

554
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: I'd have to start from scratch. So that risk factor,

555
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: like that's the first thing. The risk is the passion

556
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: and the fact that this is going to work or

557
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 1: not and if you just believe it, then it will happen.

558
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 2: But that's also like I even remember I think what

559
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 2: made like because it is it's a huge risk when

560
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 2: you really think about it. And I think even I

561
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 2: at times was feeling super not doubting. But what made

562
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 2: it easier. There was literally so many times where I

563
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 2: was fucking freaking out because I was like Cooper's literally

564
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 2: like about to quit his job and like this, Well,

565
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 2: I was worried because I personally, I obviously had my

566
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 2: side stuff, so I wasn't eating into my safe you

567
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 2: were fine, I would know, and yeah, to be honest,

568
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 2: like I was fine, but Cooper had made this huge risk,

569
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 2: and honestly, you know, being siblings, I care about him.

570
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 2: So I was like, in my head, I was just

571
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 2: gonna say, in my head, I had these things. You know,

572
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 2: I'd literally not have panic attacks but be like, holy fuck,

573
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 2: you know this has to work and whatnot. But what

574
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 2: made me feel better is how sure, Yeah, how shut.

575
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 2: I'd never had any Cooper never had any doubts. He

576
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 2: was so sure and it was so much passion, And honestly,

577
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 2: that's why I think even going after this at the start,

578
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 2: because you know, I had heaps of doubts like you know,

579
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 2: what would people think and you know whatnot, And it

580
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 2: always made it so much better having like a partner

581
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 2: in the business who was so like strong and like

582
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 2: so just like we're doing this, it has to work

583
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 2: so much passion.

584
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 1: On another little note, you actually have said this somewhere

585
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: when you're somewhere, but you said when you have an idea,

586
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: don't tell anyone, and that that was a big thing when.

587
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 2: We first let's chat about that.

588
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I actually I told my parents and my

589
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 1: brothers and they were actually really negative and they said,

590
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: don't do it because of plumbing, like it's a done deal,

591
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: like you're going to make your age.

592
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 2: And also just to preface this, sorry Cooper, like Cooper

593
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 2: was earning really good money as a plumber, like you

594
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 2: know fruit.

595
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 1: Yeah it was good, yes, but I worked my ass

596
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: off for it.

597
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, so from going from that to doing this thing

598
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 2: where who knows what's going to happen. We didn't necessarily

599
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 2: get the greatest feedback.

600
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: Hey, it was really bad. So and you know what,

601
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: while I was looked up to mom and dad and

602
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: my big brother Josh, and when I told him, I

603
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 1: didn't get anything that I had, like the passion in

604
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: my I didn't get anything towards it. So but again

605
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 1: like wol me.

606
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 2: Down, Yeah, that's because they different error they do, you know,

607
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 2: they don't do risk. Yeah, they don't do that sort

608
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 2: of thing. And it is it's like if you talk

609
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 2: to any normal person and you're like, hey, I'm gonna

610
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 2: go off and do this like thing, who knows it's

611
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 2: gonna like And that's exact same with me, like being

612
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 2: a lawyer, that's like a done deal. That's like and

613
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 2: I was even finished and were just like, no, let's

614
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 2: go to this random thing. But just to preface that too,

615
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 2: So that actually happened. And then me and Cooper had

616
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 2: a conversation and I do I say that all the time,

617
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 2: And I said to him because I was like, why

618
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 2: would you tell them? Remember, I was like I just

619
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 2: liked Cooper. Yeah, Cooper like chatting to people. Where's I

620
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 2: don't And so I was like, just from now a promise. Yeah,

621
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 2: we made a promise to each other and Cooper mom,

622
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 2: dad are probably gonna listen to this podcast. So we

623
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 2: made a promise to each other and we were like,

624
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 2: I was like, just don't talk to them about you know,

625
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 2: any updates, anyone thing like that, because it did it

626
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 2: defeated you didn't it like really did Yeah, And it

627
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 2: can be super disheartening, and I guess that's like a

628
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 2: big thing for you guys, is if you do have

629
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,320
Speaker 2: like a big dream, and usually you know it's something

630
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 2: completely different to what you're doing, keep it close to

631
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 2: your heart and be very careful about who you tell,

632
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 2: because if you do tell someone and they're not exactly positive,

633
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 2: it can really dishearten your passion.

634
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 1: Like it was so lucky that we can feel you

635
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 1: because it really disheartened me. But then I was like,

636
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: you know what, fuck you guys. Yeah, I'm going to

637
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 1: slay this and I'm going to prove to you use

638
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:43,839
Speaker 1: that I can do it.

639
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 2: Honestly, have some issues, need to be a psychologists like

640
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 2: I do, because you've got some issues. But I love

641
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,919
Speaker 2: it because that's what fueled Naked Hartts. So just yeah,

642
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 2: touching on that, that was such a good point to

643
00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 2: bring up because we actually, after that we are didn't

644
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 2: tell anyone except you know, our partners Mel Literally until

645
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 2: we launched, we didn't tell anyone. I didn't even I

646
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 2: told some of my close friends, but honestly, not really

647
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 2: anyone to that because I'm actually and you don't know this, Cooper,

648
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 2: well you probably do, but I'm actually someone who if

649
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 2: I get disheartened like you are like sorry, like you did.

650
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 2: I don't come back from that very well. And that's

651
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 2: why I don't tell people because unlike you, you know

652
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:32,359
Speaker 2: how you get fueled by that. I don't. I get

653
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 2: really yeah, I get shut down, and I tend to

654
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 2: be a bit introverted. So that's why I'm so careful

655
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 2: about who I tell and what I do because of that.

656
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 2: And so that's something for you guys to think about,

657
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 2: and especially like even with you know, like me and

658
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 2: Cooper love chatting about goals and stuff, and you're probably

659
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 2: the only person I talk about goals because usually they're

660
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,360
Speaker 2: like outrageous, whereas Cooper will come at me and be

661
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 2: like Jesus Christ, but amazing.

662
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,839
Speaker 1: Well, let's put a bit more on it. Then, why

663
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 1: do you.

664
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 2: Bloody dream bigger? And it's already outrageous, Whereas other people

665
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 2: they're probably gonna look at me and be like you crazy,

666
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:12,879
Speaker 2: what is wrong with you? You need to chill out. That's

667
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 2: what everyone comes back to me, and they're like, you

668
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 2: literally need to chill which I am. This year, I'm

669
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:25,720
Speaker 2: chilling out. This episode is brought to you by Naked

670
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 2: Harvest Supplements, the natural supplement company I co founded with

671
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:33,320
Speaker 2: my brother. This company was really brought to life because

672
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 2: I have been using supplements for such a long time

673
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 2: since the start of my fitness journey. But what I

674
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 2: really struggled to find was all natural supplements without the crap,

675
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 2: that were tailored to women's health and that actually tasted good.

676
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 2: And that's how Naked Harvest Supplements was born. Our hero

677
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 2: products are a natural pre workout and our vegan Thrive Protein.

678
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:03,720
Speaker 2: Our natural pre workout is vegan, gluten free, refined sugar

679
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 2: free and is a natural energy boost without the crash.

680
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:11,319
Speaker 2: This is your go to to enhance your workout and

681
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,879
Speaker 2: to get you in the mood to conquer your day.

682
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:18,319
Speaker 2: My favorite flavor is sweet strawberry, which literally tastes like

683
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 2: strawberry clouds, Oh my God. And tropical iced tea, which

684
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 2: tastes like that lipped and iced tea drink. It is

685
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:30,720
Speaker 2: so refreshing. Our Thrive plant protein is also vegan, gluten free,

686
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 2: refined sugar free, and it is so smooth for a

687
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 2: vegan protein. I know our nhgang loves cooking with it

688
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 2: or using it in that post workout smoothie, and so

689
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 2: do I. My favorite flavor for the Thrive is definitely

690
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:50,320
Speaker 2: our newest pancake batter flavor. It is the real deal

691
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,840
Speaker 2: and tastes exactly like the name. If you want to

Speaker 2: But let's get back into the episode, all right. So

700
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 2: next question, what would be your best piece of advice

701
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 2: for someone who wants to start a business.

702
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 1: Well, kind of saying or what we just said is

703
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 1: you got to have your passion. You got to have

704
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:43,359
Speaker 1: something that you know that's going to work in your

705
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 1: head and and something you love. That is the biggest thing.

706
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 1: Like if you love it and if you want to

707
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: do it and you wake up every morning thinking I

708
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 1: can't wait to go to work or can't wait to

709
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 1: do this, and then or it keeps you up at night,

710
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:01,919
Speaker 1: that's a massive thing for me. Which but that's that's

711
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 1: when you know, you've got something that's the biggest.

712
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 2: Thing, a key thing, and that's even like I've spoken

713
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 2: about this, but you know, back in the day when

714
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,479
Speaker 2: I worked at the law firm and I did those

715
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 2: long hours and stuff, like, I had passion for it,

716
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 2: but it was not like sustainable at all, and I

717
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 2: clearly got burnt out.

718
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 1: But that's workout that it isn't, yeah, not at all.

719
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 2: But with Naked Harvest and what we do now, it

720
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 2: feels so aligned with and I think that's a huge

721
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 2: thing we'll get into like soon, but the values of

722
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 2: Naked Harvest because we did start it from scratch, like

723
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 2: I do talk about this a lot with the reason

724
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:44,280
Speaker 2: why because I've had a couple of options to create

725
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 2: a supplement but do it with another company so it's

726
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,800
Speaker 2: like basically just my name and they create it and

727
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 2: market it like kind of like a clap that lots

728
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 2: of influencers do. But I always didn't want to do

729
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 2: that because I really wanted to, you know, know, all

730
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 2: the intricate details and make sure it is in lined

731
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 2: with me and my values, like you know, being sustainable

732
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 2: and stuff like that. So I think a huge thing

733
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 2: for me is the alignment which then goes into the

734
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:18,280
Speaker 2: feeling passionate, and that really feels you because I think

735
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 2: a lot that you see on social media it looks

736
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 2: really glamorous to start a business. And don't get us wrong,

737
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 2: it's so awesome. We have so much fun and it's

738
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 2: the best job ever, but it's also super tough and

739
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 2: it's so much work, and so you need to have

740
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:37,239
Speaker 2: that backing of being passionate and being like, you know,

741
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 2: for the hard times.

742
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:41,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's not like a job. It's if it's

743
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 1: a shit thing you got to do, like you just

744
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 1: do It're happy to do it, you want to do it.

745
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 2: Well, that's even like, So the next thing I want

746
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 2: to chat about is team and that really brings me

747
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 2: into like the next point because really at the start,

748
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 2: like Mel has always been involved from the beginning. And

749
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 2: if you guys don't know Mel, you shouldn't. But she

750
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:03,400
Speaker 2: is my project manager. So she started with just me

751
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 2: when I was doing my own staff and then obviously

752
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 2: started from the start with Naked Harvest, and now she's

753
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 2: the project and communications manager at Naked Harvest. So it

754
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 2: has been us three from the beginning. But at the start,

755
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 2: because we were a startup like we both funded Naked

756
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 2: Harvest with our own money. We didn't have invested we investors, sorry,

757
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 2: and we didn't get alone. And as Cooper's saying, like

758
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 2: you know, he came from a background where it was

759
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 2: a make or break. We really did a lot of

760
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 2: the jobs ourselves and just made it work.

761
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 1: Okay, I know I'm the accountant, I'm the bookkeeper, and

762
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:40,840
Speaker 1: I never did any of that with plumbing, and but

763
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 1: that was the thing I wanted to know. I wanted

764
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:45,959
Speaker 1: to learn it. Yeah, you got to do so many

765
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: different job roles. Yeah, and I you want to learn it.

766
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 2: Also, what's interesting of when you start your own business.

767
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:55,880
Speaker 2: I think it's important to know the job before you

768
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,879
Speaker 2: outsource it to someone else, because what if they were,

769
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 2: you know, to quit or something like that. Like me

770
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 2: and Cooper, like we know, both of us together, not

771
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 2: just one of us all the back end or you know,

772
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 2: Cooper does the zero and accounting, and like we did

773
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 2: all those jobs. And now we have obviously hired a team.

774
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 2: So we have a team of twelve now, which is

775
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:22,320
Speaker 2: you know, huge for a small business. And in saying that, though,

776
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 2: we all mean Cooper learned all the positions before and

777
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 2: then we would outsource.

778
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 1: That is true. But on that note, like you were

779
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 1: very much like that, you would want to be so

780
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:39,759
Speaker 1: busy and then bring someone on. I like to just

781
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:43,399
Speaker 1: bring someone on and then that way you look for

782
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 1: more work and it pushes you to like, don't do

783
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,280
Speaker 1: this right at the start, because that's bad advice.

784
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 2: But like I get what you're saying. Actually, so you're

785
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:56,399
Speaker 2: saying do things before you're ready because you can grow

786
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:57,760
Speaker 2: into it as you Yeah.

787
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 1: Well, like the warehouse, Yeah, like we weren't fully ready,

788
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:05,279
Speaker 1: but it's going to push us and drive us to

789
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 1: do bigger things because you've got the space, so you

790
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 1: kind of put something there to create another job.

791
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 2: True, That's that's kind of true, like in regards to grow.

792
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 2: So background and I think I spoke about this on

793
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:22,359
Speaker 2: another podcast, but the warehouse that we were previously in

794
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 2: was about one hundred and eighty meters squared and that

795
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 2: was our very first warehouse, and you know, we filled

796
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 2: it up and we've been operating from that from a

797
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:36,919
Speaker 2: year or so and we've already grown out of it,

798
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 2: and so we've just moved into a new warehouse. And

799
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 2: how big is it?

800
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:44,320
Speaker 1: It's nine fifty.

801
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 2: Nine fifty so from one hundred and eighty to nine fifty.

802
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 1: Car park and it's it's our own property.

803
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's and it's like, oh my god, guys,

804
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:54,280
Speaker 2: you'll see I don't know if you've saw my stories

805
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 2: on Instagram, but it's huge and it's super like in

806
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:01,840
Speaker 2: no way are we like that capacity. But that's the

807
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:05,359
Speaker 2: reason why we did get something bigger is you know,

808
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 2: we've got to feel it, we've got to grow, and

809
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:11,359
Speaker 2: we are betting on ourselves that that will happen. That's

810
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:12,759
Speaker 2: a huge thing too, betting.

811
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:14,839
Speaker 1: On the same thing. We know it's going to work.

812
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:17,359
Speaker 2: And that's like with I guess I get what you're

813
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:19,759
Speaker 2: saying now with the team. So that's like, you know,

814
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 2: if you ask someone who is a small business and

815
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:27,320
Speaker 2: you do everything yourself currently and you feel super burnt out,

816
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 2: that's a really good point, Cooper. I get a mail

817
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 2: outsourcing and then you have more time to do the

818
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 2: important stuff.

819
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, because they're doing that. And then so you're like,

820
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 1: if you're sitting there going, man, I've got nothing to do,

821
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:43,799
Speaker 1: you look for stuff to do, Like you even if

822
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 1: you go and take a run and then listen to

823
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:49,319
Speaker 1: a podcast and give you another little idea.

824
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 2: Like gibs like that's me done for the day.

825
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, but those things because I was really busy not

826
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 1: too long ago, and I was getting burnt out and

827
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 1: I wasn't doing stagnant new things or new stuff. And

828
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:07,440
Speaker 1: then so we hired yeah, a few help. Yeah, and

829
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 1: then I did have time up my sleeve and I

830
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,800
Speaker 1: would go to golf a little bit. But but those

831
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 1: sorts of things kind of just make you more like

832
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:20,319
Speaker 1: free and you have these ideas and.

833
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 2: Then your space.

834
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:24,760
Speaker 1: And then like you've got to enjoy your life as well,

835
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 1: Like you can't just be working all the time, so

836
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 1: you're going to be content.

837
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:32,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's actually a huge thing. Before we started

838
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:36,839
Speaker 2: Naked Harvest, me and Cooper had this discussion where I know.

839
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 1: You're laughing, lifestyle, it's all about last Star. We said

840
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 1: that to everyone and then we knew it was a

841
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 1: bit like something we've got something, screw lifestyle, let's smash it.

842
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 2: So me and who from the start we're like, we're

843
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:53,759
Speaker 2: going to start making Harvest, and you know, and I

844
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 2: moved down the coast where like we want lifestyle, we

845
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:59,320
Speaker 2: want to chill. We said that to Dad and everyone.

846
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:02,240
Speaker 2: Everyone's like rolling their eyes and then like naked harm't

847
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:05,280
Speaker 2: started going like really well, and we like buckled down

848
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 2: and like we work well, we work extremely hard hard.

849
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 2: But I also think like I have a good lifestyle.

850
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 2: You literally wake up a good lifestyle. Yeah, all right, So, uh,

851
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 2: they want to ask if you have any sort of

852
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:25,760
Speaker 2: like managing staff, tips, challenges or advice.

853
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 1: You've got to be good at problem solving. That's a

854
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:29,560
Speaker 1: big thing.

855
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 2: That's so broad.

856
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 1: Well, like if something, if a problem comes up, you

857
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:39,799
Speaker 1: gotta quickly say something, not sit on it or put

858
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 1: it off.

859
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 2: That's true, very fast paced.

860
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 1: Is fine and common sense.

861
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 2: Well, I want to add to that because I think

862
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:50,360
Speaker 2: a huge thing and obviously we we're like just learning

863
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:53,840
Speaker 2: this because we both did not come from managing people

864
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:56,840
Speaker 2: businesses and stuff. So we've actually had, you know, a

865
00:46:56,920 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 2: couple of recent stuff happen where we had hire someone

866
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:04,120
Speaker 2: and they wasn't wasn't actually a great fit for the team,

867
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 2: and you know, different things. And I think a huge

868
00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 2: thing that I realized last year is like team morale

869
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:13,840
Speaker 2: and making sure the team is happy is so important.

870
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 2: And we have always been from the start, and that's

871
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 2: because I've been in a couple of toxic sort of

872
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:23,240
Speaker 2: workplaces where I didn't enjoy it and felt really unappreciated.

873
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:25,200
Speaker 2: So from the start, I feel like we have always

874
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 2: made a huge effort to make sure people feel like

875
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 2: appreciated and they do.

876
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:33,879
Speaker 1: Let us know, Courtney said, this is the best job ever,

877
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:36,880
Speaker 1: and they tell people so sweet. Yeah, she was talking

878
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 1: to her parents and she they know her deal and

879
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:44,759
Speaker 1: what she gets and how our team are and how

880
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:50,799
Speaker 1: we are, and she's like, it's everyone can't believe what

881
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 1: she gets and she's like, it's the best job I've

882
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:54,920
Speaker 1: ever had and that.

883
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:59,320
Speaker 2: And then also like Courtney is epic, like she's amazing.

884
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 2: She so good at her job. And I think that's

885
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 2: really important, is like you know, with your people and

886
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:08,320
Speaker 2: with your staff, like treat them well and they treat

887
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 2: you well. And I think that's a huge thing. Like

888
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:14,600
Speaker 2: with Mel, like Mel literally treats Naked Harvest like it's

889
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 2: her home.

890
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:19,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, more than us, literally you would.

891
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:23,920
Speaker 2: And that's the reason why we you know, keep her

892
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:26,440
Speaker 2: around and keep her on borders because she's like, you know,

893
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:30,240
Speaker 2: die hard. And then also we obviously make sure she's

894
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:34,239
Speaker 2: like super appreciated and like loves her job and you know,

895
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 2: checking in with her but I think it's really important

896
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:39,759
Speaker 2: with your team, like not just looking at them as

897
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:41,840
Speaker 2: all these are just like, you know, my staff, but

898
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:44,560
Speaker 2: it's like when you really look at it as these

899
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:47,880
Speaker 2: are like my teammates, and you want them to be happy,

900
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:50,000
Speaker 2: they then want to put in the effort. Because I'm

901
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:51,799
Speaker 2: going to be very honest with you. Back in the

902
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:55,400
Speaker 2: day when I was, you know, working corporate, is I

903
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 2: was getting paid, you know, a certain amount, I knew

904
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 2: they were charging me out like fourteen times the amount,

905
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:04,680
Speaker 2: and then just the way that you're treated like I

906
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:07,319
Speaker 2: didn't want to, like, you know, come to work and

907
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:10,400
Speaker 2: put in one hundred percent because I just like I

908
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:13,200
Speaker 2: felt like I wasn't you know, being appreciated. And so

909
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:15,719
Speaker 2: that's always something that's really stuck in my mind and

910
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 2: what's really important. And we're even going to ramp that

911
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 2: up again in twenty twenty one. So we're like organizing

912
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:26,279
Speaker 2: staff like monthly and fortnightly, like staff things where we

913
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:31,759
Speaker 2: ativities activities like yoga or drinks and stuff like that,

914
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 2: and really just making sure like you know, we're keeping

915
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:37,319
Speaker 2: the team close and everyone's happy and working together. And

916
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:39,719
Speaker 2: like a big thing with our new warehouse is we

917
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:42,400
Speaker 2: want to make it like an environment where the team

918
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:45,280
Speaker 2: come and they want to work. Yeah, because that's huge.

919
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 2: All right, So let's move on because we're bloody chatting away,

920
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:52,240
Speaker 2: all right. So marketing, I'm going to try and power

921
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:54,960
Speaker 2: through these questions because I am the marketing side of

922
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:57,400
Speaker 2: Naked Harvest, but I think you guys would be quite

923
00:49:57,440 --> 00:50:01,040
Speaker 2: interested in Cooper feel free to comment whenever. So with

924
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:05,239
Speaker 2: marketing from the start, obviously because I, you know, have

925
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:09,920
Speaker 2: the social media influencer background, and I know how well

926
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:13,759
Speaker 2: influencers can help with a brand and really thrive. I

927
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:17,440
Speaker 2: was really huge on getting influences from the get go,

928
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:23,719
Speaker 2: So literally from the start, marketing included influencers like you know,

929
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:26,960
Speaker 2: micro influencers who we would send free product to, and

930
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:30,800
Speaker 2: then also paid influencers her who were a bit more bigger,

931
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:35,480
Speaker 2: and then the other marketing we did. We did not

932
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 2: do Facebook ads at the start, but we now do

933
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:38,920
Speaker 2: Facebook ads.

934
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 1: I reckon that would be a bit of a downfall

935
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:45,759
Speaker 1: for someone starting up. The big thing listening to podcasts

936
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:49,880
Speaker 1: is go to every platform, Like we only went Instagram,

937
00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:53,880
Speaker 1: which we smashed on because of you. But as a startup,

938
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:57,279
Speaker 1: like you need everything, you need Facebook, you need Instagram,

939
00:50:57,400 --> 00:51:01,400
Speaker 1: you need emails, like, well, there's so many, I'm getting

940
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:01,719
Speaker 1: to that.

941
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:08,560
Speaker 2: I'm in front me. I know, I'm about to get

942
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:10,440
Speaker 2: into that. But at the start, that's what we did.

943
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 2: We mostly just hit the Instagram. But then that's what

944
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:19,799
Speaker 2: we did is we were really big on collecting people's emails.

945
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 2: We got we got help which highly recommend. We got

946
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:28,440
Speaker 2: this amazing email chick Brinley, and she helps us with

947
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:34,560
Speaker 2: our EDM marketing and really optimizing our website. So you know,

948
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:37,359
Speaker 2: we have certain features if you put something in your

949
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:41,000
Speaker 2: cart but you don't check out, and if I don't

950
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 2: know actually how it all works, let's be honest, but

951
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 2: it can track you and you'll get sent an email

952
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:49,360
Speaker 2: being like you didn't check out. Like so, like you know,

953
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:51,920
Speaker 2: track and stuff. That's obviously quite advanced, and we didn't

954
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:55,320
Speaker 2: do that for the first year or anything. But EDM

955
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:57,719
Speaker 2: is so huge, and I think people don't really talk

956
00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:02,160
Speaker 2: about it enough. But collecting people's emails, whether that's just

957
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:04,680
Speaker 2: through when they shop or getting them to sign up,

958
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:07,399
Speaker 2: you know, say there's a sale, it's only through through

959
00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:11,120
Speaker 2: EDM or something like that, Do not underestimate them because

960
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:14,960
Speaker 2: like I kind of always say is the social media

961
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:19,040
Speaker 2: platforms are great and they convert well, but you don't

962
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:21,399
Speaker 2: own your space on them. So even if you have

963
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:25,359
Speaker 2: a huge Instagram, it could get deleted tomorrow and then you're,

964
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:28,640
Speaker 2: you know, done. So make sure you guys are collecting

965
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 2: emails and starting an email list because you have full

966
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:34,680
Speaker 2: ownership of them. But then we yeah, so we also

967
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:37,959
Speaker 2: do like Facebook ads, which have been really good edim

968
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:42,480
Speaker 2: Instagram and just Facebook in general too. Is there anything

969
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:42,920
Speaker 2: else we do?

970
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:46,400
Speaker 1: Definitely the biggest main ones we do. Yeah, like we

971
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:48,280
Speaker 1: want to break into Google.

972
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:51,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, like we need to do our SEO and that

973
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:52,399
Speaker 2: sort of thing.

974
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:53,400
Speaker 1: We've done that.

975
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 2: I think. Also that's a big thing with marketing, is

976
00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:02,120
Speaker 2: we from the get go, we're pretty happy to put

977
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:06,760
Speaker 2: quite a bit of marketing budget towards marketing at the start.

978
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:09,440
Speaker 2: And I think that was like, you know, I know

979
00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 2: a lot of small businesses don't necessarily have that sort

980
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:16,359
Speaker 2: of money, but well, I don't know, what.

981
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:19,799
Speaker 1: Do you think, Well, we're pretty lucky to have you,

982
00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:23,879
Speaker 1: and that's kind of how you're welcome. We broke into it. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

983
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 1: But like for someone that didn't have a following like yours,

984
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 1: you go to have that investment and go everything at

985
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:39,200
Speaker 1: the start and make a big impression. We were very lucky,

986
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:43,680
Speaker 1: but we used that luck to our advantage to the fullest.

987
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:47,879
Speaker 2: Like and also bit from the start, remember we like

988
00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:52,600
Speaker 2: hired an influencer marketing check. Like, we were very proactive.

989
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:56,480
Speaker 2: We didn't just rely on my audience. We very much

990
00:53:56,640 --> 00:53:59,880
Speaker 2: were trying to you know, make sure we were reaching

991
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:03,000
Speaker 2: other places. And we did put a lot of budget

992
00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:06,520
Speaker 2: towards marketing even before we were kind of profiting. And

993
00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:09,319
Speaker 2: we think that's kind of important because it's just kind

994
00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:13,040
Speaker 2: of and that's kind of like what's it called the like,

995
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:17,279
Speaker 2: know and trust factor, So you've got to like, I

996
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:20,799
Speaker 2: think it's the start is people have to see your

997
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:24,960
Speaker 2: thing sixteen times before they buy, which is outrageous. So

998
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,920
Speaker 2: that's the reason why we I'm really big about like

999
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:32,000
Speaker 2: the multi marketing and being over different platforms because you know,

1000
00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 2: someone might see an influencer promoting your product and then

1001
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:38,640
Speaker 2: they go on Facebook and they see an AD and

1002
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:41,520
Speaker 2: then you know, maybe they get an EDM and so

1003
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:44,640
Speaker 2: they often need to be like touched from a lot

1004
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:47,960
Speaker 2: of platforms before they actually decide to buy. And that's

1005
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:50,839
Speaker 2: what we kind of generally do is just make sure

1006
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:55,200
Speaker 2: we've got feelers on everything and yeah, so we can

1007
00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:56,239
Speaker 2: target people that way.

1008
00:54:56,840 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Like on that note, just keep in mind

1009
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:05,160
Speaker 1: to always put all of the money back into the business,

1010
00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:07,040
Speaker 1: not like because you kind of get you get your

1011
00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:09,360
Speaker 1: cash flow and then that you think, oh my god,

1012
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:10,919
Speaker 1: I'm rich, Like that's something I would.

1013
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:11,520
Speaker 2: I'm rich.

1014
00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:15,439
Speaker 1: I worked out with plumbing, and like it's just think

1015
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:18,080
Speaker 1: of it not as your money, it's company's money, and

1016
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:20,000
Speaker 1: then put it all back in.

1017
00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:23,840
Speaker 2: Like well, actually, let's just straight go to that subject.

1018
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:27,759
Speaker 2: Let's talk about finances and business, because I think that's

1019
00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 2: a huge thing, massive and I think because like let's

1020
00:55:31,239 --> 00:55:35,360
Speaker 2: kind of put things into perspective because like, if you

1021
00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:39,280
Speaker 2: think about it, Cooper Naked Harvest became a seven figure company,

1022
00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:43,920
Speaker 2: like seven figures of the lot in nine months, so

1023
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:46,839
Speaker 2: under a year. And that's like me saying that, You're

1024
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:51,319
Speaker 2: probably thinking, holy crap, that's so impressive. You know, those

1025
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:55,000
Speaker 2: two must be so wealthy, but in reality, that's.

1026
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:57,480
Speaker 1: It is not the case.

1027
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:01,680
Speaker 2: Help me, I don't have a dish rusher. That was

1028
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:06,480
Speaker 2: so even though I'm saying that and it sounds impressive,

1029
00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:10,439
Speaker 2: is you know, Naked Harvest made that that was not us.

1030
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:13,600
Speaker 2: We do now pull a wage from Naked Harvest, but

1031
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:16,279
Speaker 2: that honestly took like a year and then we took

1032
00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:18,399
Speaker 2: a wage. And I think that's even quite early than

1033
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:23,319
Speaker 2: what most businesses do. And I think the start is like,

1034
00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:25,680
Speaker 2: don't expect to take any money from your business in

1035
00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:28,920
Speaker 2: the first two years. And I really like that because,

1036
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:33,040
Speaker 2: like Cooper was saying, putting money back in your business

1037
00:56:33,120 --> 00:56:35,480
Speaker 2: and when you do make money, putting it back into

1038
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:40,760
Speaker 2: marketing and putting it back reinvesting and thinking long term

1039
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:44,960
Speaker 2: instead of short term is huge and that's very much

1040
00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:49,520
Speaker 2: what we do, like we reinvest everything, and we very

1041
00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 2: much Yeah.

1042
00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:54,360
Speaker 1: So we went to seven figures and then we're like,

1043
00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:58,919
Speaker 1: where is that money? Oh, ever, look in the bank

1044
00:56:59,000 --> 00:56:59,520
Speaker 1: and we're like.

1045
00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:03,440
Speaker 2: We're looking at Shopify that had said we'd mates even

1046
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:05,919
Speaker 2: bigger than nine months. We're like looking at it. Even

1047
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:08,240
Speaker 2: the Naked Horbs like bank account and our bank accounts

1048
00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:09,600
Speaker 2: were like, what's happened.

1049
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:14,800
Speaker 1: But that's not showing that we were doing bad business business.

1050
00:57:14,840 --> 00:57:17,840
Speaker 1: That was showing that we are putting all back in

1051
00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:21,560
Speaker 1: and we reinvesting in it. It's building up so then

1052
00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:24,959
Speaker 1: it can make more money and you can roll over more.

1053
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:27,960
Speaker 1: And it's all about cash flow, Yes, cash.

1054
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:30,920
Speaker 2: Flow, cashow cashowsh I.

1055
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:34,200
Speaker 1: Learned what not to do my previous.

1056
00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:37,800
Speaker 2: Business, and that's also something to think about, is like,

1057
00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 2: you know, the company can make a certain amount, but

1058
00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:42,240
Speaker 2: there's just so many expenses of like you know, you've

1059
00:57:42,280 --> 00:57:43,800
Speaker 2: got to make sure you've got like we have a

1060
00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:48,160
Speaker 2: separate account for tax and you know, wages, you've got

1061
00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:51,800
Speaker 2: to pay everyone. You've got all these expenses, and then

1062
00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:53,680
Speaker 2: you've got to have a good chunk of money to

1063
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:54,960
Speaker 2: put back into the business.

1064
00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:58,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then there's a bitter level of the risk

1065
00:57:58,360 --> 00:58:01,560
Speaker 1: factor the whole way through. So some times we didn't

1066
00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:04,640
Speaker 1: have money for something, but we knew if we invested

1067
00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:08,480
Speaker 1: it somehow, we would make that money back in another month.

1068
00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:09,600
Speaker 1: Like way more.

1069
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:12,560
Speaker 2: I remember that actually, Like we went through a couple

1070
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:16,000
Speaker 2: of months where our bank account was literally like.

1071
00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:19,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, we were just going crazy really low.

1072
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:22,040
Speaker 2: But we I had so much faith, Like I was like,

1073
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:24,080
Speaker 2: you know, we need to spend this money. We need

1074
00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:28,280
Speaker 2: to make sure we're being proactive. And I'm obviously you know,

1075
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:33,280
Speaker 2: glad we did that, but yeah, okay, and wait, hen

1076
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:37,240
Speaker 2: quickly going back into that Cooper also something to think

1077
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:40,800
Speaker 2: about though. Even though we're saying, you know, making sure

1078
00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:44,280
Speaker 2: you reinvest in your business. When you do, you know,

1079
00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:47,720
Speaker 2: start profiting and you do have some leftover, we also

1080
00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:50,480
Speaker 2: think it is important to start paying yourself.

1081
00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:54,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a certain extent that you don't want to

1082
00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:58,040
Speaker 1: live a crappy life when your business is making a

1083
00:58:58,120 --> 00:59:00,920
Speaker 1: lot of money, like you have to enjoy it.

1084
00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:04,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely enjoy it anyway, moving on, all right, well,

1085
00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:06,640
Speaker 2: let's just answer a couple more questions to wrap it up,

1086
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:10,480
Speaker 2: because we've been chatting forever. Let's kind of go and

1087
00:59:10,560 --> 00:59:14,600
Speaker 2: chat about the subject of working together, you know, as siblings,

1088
00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:17,680
Speaker 2: as business partners, because that's like a huge question that

1089
00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:22,160
Speaker 2: everyone asks. So first of all, chat about like just what,

1090
00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:25,560
Speaker 2: let's chat about our roles in the business business and

1091
00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:27,360
Speaker 2: how we kind of make it work.

1092
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:31,520
Speaker 1: I guess my rold is is Yeah, So it's the

1093
00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:35,160
Speaker 1: warehouse side of things. I've got to make sure we

1094
00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:39,520
Speaker 1: have the product, we have everything sorted in the warehouse.

1095
00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:42,320
Speaker 1: I've got to do the accounting. I'm going to make

1096
00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:46,320
Speaker 1: sure things go smoothly in the warehouse with packing orders

1097
00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:51,840
Speaker 1: and getting in logistics with the post and making sure

1098
00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:54,880
Speaker 1: we have product to sell and that's and so it's

1099
00:59:54,920 --> 01:00:00,200
Speaker 1: forecasting months in advance, and that is really hard when

1100
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:04,080
Speaker 1: you grow. And also the fun part is looking for

1101
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:07,320
Speaker 1: new supplements. We kind of do that together, testing new

1102
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:13,400
Speaker 1: supplements flavors with our manufacture very closely. And yeah, that's

1103
01:00:13,640 --> 01:00:17,400
Speaker 1: that's a good part of my job. And that's about it.

1104
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:20,880
Speaker 1: Then we always come together with anything big.

1105
01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, we have like weekly meetings and it's not like

1106
01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:28,640
Speaker 2: one person decides things or anything. It's very collaborative. But

1107
01:00:28,680 --> 01:00:31,000
Speaker 2: then Cooper's got his side of things, like he just said,

1108
01:00:31,040 --> 01:00:33,200
Speaker 2: and I've got my side of things, which is like

1109
01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:38,720
Speaker 2: the marketing side, at the product side, the aesthetic side.

1110
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:43,200
Speaker 2: You could say, yeah, so, and I guess that's just

1111
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:45,560
Speaker 2: what you were saying about. We really stick to our

1112
01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:48,760
Speaker 2: zone of genius. So you know, even with stuff with

1113
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:51,520
Speaker 2: the new warehouse and stuff, even though it scared me,

1114
01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:53,880
Speaker 2: I kind of went to Cooper and was like, you know,

1115
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:57,200
Speaker 2: if you think we really need this, if you're satisfied

1116
01:00:57,240 --> 01:00:58,840
Speaker 2: that you know we will grow and this will be

1117
01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:00,520
Speaker 2: a good decision, I trust you.

1118
01:01:01,240 --> 01:01:05,200
Speaker 1: And it was both ways. So like I knew it

1119
01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:09,320
Speaker 1: was the right decision because of your side of what

1120
01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:11,040
Speaker 1: you could do with your side.

1121
01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:16,320
Speaker 2: Very collaborative, but I think we kind of, yeah, we

1122
01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:18,920
Speaker 2: give a lot of trust to each other and we

1123
01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:21,960
Speaker 2: kind of I don't like to question Cooper too much,

1124
01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:24,200
Speaker 2: and I just go, he's got his side sortid, I've

1125
01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:28,560
Speaker 2: got my side sorted, and I kind of let him

1126
01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:30,520
Speaker 2: run the show and he lets me run the show.

1127
01:01:30,600 --> 01:01:34,160
Speaker 1: And you know, in our sort of big thing with

1128
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:38,240
Speaker 1: partnering up with someone is at the start, you gotta

1129
01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:41,720
Speaker 1: kind of come to an agreement and know each other.

1130
01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:48,080
Speaker 1: Where with money, I feel like money can really distort relationships. True,

1131
01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:52,640
Speaker 1: that's whereas people It doesn't work out with people with

1132
01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:57,480
Speaker 1: partners because partners work very well, but they're very it's

1133
01:01:57,560 --> 01:02:00,680
Speaker 1: risky because if you're by yourself, you just it's easy,

1134
01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:03,240
Speaker 1: you just do whatever you want. But if you're with

1135
01:02:03,320 --> 01:02:05,840
Speaker 1: someone else, you've got to accommodate each other.

1136
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:08,600
Speaker 2: And so let's just chat about like what we do

1137
01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:12,440
Speaker 2: when we have disagreements or anything like that in regards

1138
01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:14,960
Speaker 2: to business, because.

1139
01:02:14,720 --> 01:02:15,960
Speaker 1: They're definitely going to come up.

1140
01:02:16,080 --> 01:02:20,600
Speaker 2: But we actually haven't had many disagreements. Hey, like maybe

1141
01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:22,280
Speaker 2: I think one I can think of.

1142
01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:23,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think two.

1143
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:24,920
Speaker 2: What was the other one?

1144
01:02:25,120 --> 01:02:25,520
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1145
01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:29,520
Speaker 2: I know, all right, well maybe two.

1146
01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:32,880
Speaker 1: But they only last a day and then you got

1147
01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:36,240
Speaker 1: to not hold things bottom up.

1148
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:40,360
Speaker 2: And yeah, well I think it's like remembering the common

1149
01:02:41,080 --> 01:02:45,280
Speaker 2: purpose of why you started this business, why you're in

1150
01:02:45,360 --> 01:02:48,520
Speaker 2: it together, because like, something I always come back to

1151
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:51,920
Speaker 2: is how much I love working with Cooper and our

1152
01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:54,320
Speaker 2: team and how much I would hate to be doing

1153
01:02:54,320 --> 01:02:56,200
Speaker 2: it alone. Like I love.

1154
01:02:58,480 --> 01:02:58,880
Speaker 1: Crowd.

1155
01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:01,760
Speaker 2: Oh yes, so I always kind of come back to

1156
01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:03,520
Speaker 2: that and kind of like.

1157
01:03:03,520 --> 01:03:07,800
Speaker 1: It's a good support. Oh so when you don't know something, yeah,

1158
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:09,880
Speaker 1: you always have someone to bounce back thing.

1159
01:03:10,440 --> 01:03:14,160
Speaker 2: And when you're when you're having a bad day, you know.

1160
01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:17,000
Speaker 1: Well you can drop stuff and the other one can

1161
01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:21,480
Speaker 1: take over. Yeah, because that's happened along with you.

1162
01:03:21,560 --> 01:03:27,960
Speaker 2: Excuse me, I've been so yeah, no, one hundred. I

1163
01:03:27,960 --> 01:03:33,120
Speaker 2: think it's like thinking overall the common cause. But yeah,

1164
01:03:33,240 --> 01:03:35,680
Speaker 2: let's wrap up this episode because we've been speaking for

1165
01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:41,640
Speaker 2: over an hour literally, all right, and last question we

1166
01:03:41,720 --> 01:03:44,280
Speaker 2: got asked, what is next for naked harvests?

1167
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:47,520
Speaker 1: Very big question, but yeah, there's a lot of big things.

01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:06,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we're very much obviously, you know, like growth.

1173
01:04:09,440 --> 01:04:12,000

Speaker 2: a manufacturing and like actual products googer. But we'll literally

1177
01:04:22,240 --> 01:04:24,440

1178
01:04:24,480 --> 01:04:27,200
Speaker 2: many questions. But it's already gone for like an hour.
