00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 2: you haven't listened to our first episode, I would highly

23

Speaker 2: recommend going there first because we're not going to get

24
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 2: really in the intro stuff, and that was really in

25
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 2: the first episode. So if you haven't listened to it,

Speaker 2: if you're wanting to start a business or know more

27
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,320

28
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 2: business to start Naked Harvest and all those kind of

29
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,800

31
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 2: doing a part two because you guys had so many questions,

32
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 2: so many good questions, and we really wanted to answer them,

33
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 2: and I guess this episode is really about showing you

34
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 2: guys that you know, we're not special. Anyone can start

35

Speaker 2: a business. And yeah, so one hundred percent go listen

36
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,000

39
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 3: Cooper, I can't believe it for.

40
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 2: So long, it feels like longer, guys. Yeah, well it's

41
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,679
Speaker 2: because we were planning it for so long beforehand. But yeah,

42
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 2: little en hah is turned to and I don't know.

43
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,679
Speaker 2: I feel so many mixed emotions, but we are so excited.

44
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: And if you were listening to this episode in real time,

45
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 2: we are having a big birthday bash sale. So I'm

46
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 2: not going to tell you the details. You have to

47
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 2: go over to Naked Harvest and we yeah, we've never

48
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 2: done a sale like this. We wanted to treat you

49
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 2: guys and just say, you know, thank you for the support,

50
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 2: thank you for everything. But if you're not listening to

51
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 2: this in real time and it's past the birthday week,

52
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 2: we do have a podcast code for you, which is

53
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 2: in the show notes. I think it's just Rise and

54
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 2: Conquer or Rise and Conquer. It will be the show,

55
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 2: no idea. All right, guys, let's get straight into the show. So,

56
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 2: like I said, we're not doing the intro questions, I

57
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 2: guess just a little recap is we're not doing it,

58
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 2: but I will just quickly recap. So me and Cooper

59
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 2: started Naked Harvest over two years ago. Now I well,

60
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 2: you know, you know, you know my background lawyer turned

61
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 2: entrepreneur and Cooper was a plumber and so he left

62
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,839
Speaker 2: his job to start Naked Harvest with me, and it's

63
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: been a bloody journey, hasn't it.

64
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: I know, it's been really fun, a bit of fun.

65
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 2: Cooper's just warming up, all right, guys, let's get into

66
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 2: the questions. He'll get warmed up and start speaking for sentences,

67
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 2: all right. So first of all, let's get into like

68
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 2: relationship sibling stuff. So someone asks, what's your advice for

69
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 2: two siblings going to business together? You can go first,

70
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 2: all right.

71
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,239
Speaker 1: My advice would be, you got to work out your

72
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: strengths and your weaknesses and keep to them the whole way, Like,

73
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: don't jump on someone else's feet and cross the line

74
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: and go into their sort of role while being respectful.

75
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think that's like at the Star, knowing

76
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 2: who's doing what, who's passionate about what things, and just

77
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 2: being really clear on that. So you're both not like

78
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 2: doubling up and doing the same things.

79
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: Passionate about everything the whole way through, and wanting to

80
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: learn each other's jobs just to help each other out

81
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: a little bit.

82
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,799
Speaker 2: Sorry, I was just gonna say, I feel like people

83
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 2: have zones of genius, so just stuff they're better at.

84
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 2: So and also, I guess it's quite good if you

85
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 2: find someone who compliments what you're not good at definitely,

86
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 2: which I feel like me and Cooper very much do.

87
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 2: Like you guys know, I kind of do the marketing,

88
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 2: the social side, I guess, like the face the front

89
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 2: view of Naked Harvest. And then I tried to say

90
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 2: Tim Cooper does I always call Cooper Timm and then

91
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 2: Tim Cooper. It's the weirdest thing.

92
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: That is weird.

93
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 2: Cooper does all the back end and legit sticks at

94
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 2: that side of things, and he's really good at that,

95
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 2: and I'm really good at what I do.

96
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wouldn't like to do your job, and you.

97
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 2: Wouldn't like to do him right back at you.

98
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 1: It just works.

99
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I don't know in saying that though, I

100
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 2: remember I had a podcast with Lucy and Nicky who

101
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 2: owned Jagger and Stone, so, you know, two girls working together,

102
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 2: and I said, do you guys have different zones of genius?

103
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 2: And they kind of said no when they're both like

104
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 2: all over things and it works for them. So in

105
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 2: saying that, like.

106
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: They'd probably get like certain jobs yeah that they got

107
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: to do and they got to finish. So yeah, yeah,

108
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: that is a little bit weird. Interesting.

109
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, we like dinaos.

110
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 1: Anyone can team up and as long as you have

111
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: a good relationship and you can through it all together.

112
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 2: And I think another big thing with you know, getting

113
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 2: business with a partner in general, not just a sibling,

114
00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 2: is having that mutual respect and also being able to

115
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 2: talk to that person if you don't like something that's

116
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 2: going on, if you know, anything comes up.

117
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: Hey, Yes, biggest thing is communication. If you don't have

118
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: that and you bottle stuff up, it's not going to

119
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: work really bad. Me enjoyed to do communicate a lot,

120
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: but we still have our fights, but.

121
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 2: Not much Cooper. Cooper does this weird thing where he'll

122
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 2: like think stuff in his head for weeks.

123
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 3: And then like, t.

124
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: It's best not to bottle up. Maybe for a good week,

125
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: but I think I don't bring it to you because

126
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: I'm busy. I think it's not worthy to bring up

127
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: or and then you do and you would just bite

128
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: my face away. I'm like, oh, bit scared.

129
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 2: But then you do and it's like all good, and

130
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 2: you're like, oh, I should have just said this.

131
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: So communication is key is massive, all right?

132
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 2: Next question, has working and owning a business together brought

133
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 2: you closer?

134
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: It definitely has.

135
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 2: Well, if you think about it, Guys, you're spending like

136
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 2: seven hours of most.

137
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: Days, especially at the new warehouse. Yeah.

138
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 2: So and especially if you're you know, combining your money.

139
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 2: You're putting a lot of effort into something and you

140
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 2: have a vision together. Of course that's going to create

141
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:30,559
Speaker 2: a bond.

142
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: And I think our partners would say spend too much time.

143
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 2: And it is funny because growing up mean, Coop always

144
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 2: like quite close, because we're the closer siblings compared to

145
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 2: the two older brothers. But in saying that, we went

146
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 2: through good phases where like I didn't really speak to you.

147
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 3: Hey, no, it's just mutual. Yeah, but when we were together.

148
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 3: We definitely fight a lot when we're kids, as most

149
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 3: siblings do, but always there.

150
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 2: Okay, So next question, and this is an interesting one.

151
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 2: I do like this question. So you can go first, Cooper,

152
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 2: But how do you balance work life as well as

153
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 2: a relationship. So Cooper is married with a gorgeous little

154
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 2: angel baby son body, sweetest little boy. I know, So

155
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 2: how do you do that?

156
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: Cooper? Last, we've got one in the oven two, Yes,

157
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 1: that has been announced. And did say that. I think

158
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:31,559
Speaker 1: about it.

159
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, Ashes halfway baked, isn't she?

160
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 3: Yeah?

161
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: Nearly a bit more?

162
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, And they have three sausages, sausage dogs, big house.

163
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 2: Lot's happening.

164
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: So when you get home, you should try and switch

165
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: off and give the time to your partner, like not

166
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: go home, jump on the laptop quickly, and like it

167
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: is very hard because you can to go to do

168
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: certain things and if you have to try and make

169
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: it up to them somehow. But yeah, like just give

170
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: them the time and make the effort to going out

171
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:15,079
Speaker 1: to dinners or something special. And I like to keep

172
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:19,079
Speaker 1: weekends open. I like to do a couple hours on

173
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 1: Saturday or an hour or something and try and make

174
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 1: that day for my family as well as Sunday. And

175
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: then yeah, during the week is work week. That'd be

176
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: the biggest thing because.

177
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 2: It's well, I think it's also like with me and Tim,

178
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 2: it's making sure we're not just talking about business all

179
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 2: the time. And I think it's a little bit different

180
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 2: because Tim works in Naked Harvest, where whereas Ash doesn't,

181
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 2: and she obviously knows what's happening. With me and Tim,

182
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:52,479
Speaker 2: it's kind of like we're trying to create other conversations

183
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 2: that's not just naked Harvest, which can be hard when

184
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,719
Speaker 2: like you know, you've got a new sale coming or

185
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 2: a new product or something exciting, especially when me and

186
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,959
Speaker 2: Cooper are both so passionate about it, and you know,

187
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 2: Tim doesn't mind talking about it. But it's just about

188
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 2: making that like conscious effort about you know, realizing that

189
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,439
Speaker 2: maybe your partner doesn't want to talk about what you

190
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 2: want to talk about all the time, and just yeah,

191
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 2: creating that time and space.

192
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: Yeah.

193
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 2: Okay, So next one is how do you balance wearing

194
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 2: all the different hats of owning your own business.

195
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: I reckon that's the beauty about owning a business, getting

196
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: to learn everything. You get a lot of knowledge, and

197
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: that's the fun part because you don't know what you're

198
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: doing and it's scary, but when you do master it,

199
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 1: it's really rewarding and yeah, I enjoy it. I like

200
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: testing myself, testing my limits. Yeah.

201
00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,959
Speaker 2: Well, I think also for me it's like well for us, sorry,

202
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,839
Speaker 2: at the start, you know, you've got to be so

203
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 2: scrappy with your finances. It's not like you can just

204
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 2: go and hire this big team and all these people

205
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,079
Speaker 2: to do these things, like you kind of have to

206
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,439
Speaker 2: work it out yourself. And if you can do it,

207
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 2: if you know, especially if you're starting with a certain

208
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 2: amount of money. If you can do it, you just

209
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 2: figure it out.

210
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: And that was a big thing actually to jump in,

211
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: Like when you were getting a photographer and like a

212
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: graphic designer and that sort of thing, you would go

213
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: for the cheaper one and not be because you kind

214
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: of get lost on Instagram being glammed up and you

215
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: want to put so much money into this stuff where

216
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: you don't make your money back on that. So look

217
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: for the cheaper sides of it. Yes, don't get caught

218
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: up in the Instagram world.

219
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, we'd like at this pretty big thing at

220
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 2: the start. Yeah, I remember we got to photographer who

221
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 2: you know, she was just starting out, so she did

222
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,719
Speaker 2: it really cheap for us. Our cousin was doing the

223
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 2: graphic design, like we did everything. So yeah, just like minimal,

224
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 2: it's not like we hired a design team and you know,

225
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 2: did this lad. Yeah, we definitely, Like I think you

226
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 2: need to do it right from the start. You don't

227
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 2: want to like cut corners too much, but you do.

228
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 2: And in saying that, like I loved our first campaign.

229
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 2: I loved everything about how we started. So yeah, I

230
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 2: think it's about when you're first starting out, you kind

231
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 2: of have to wear all the hats, and that's not

232
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 2: necessarily a bad thing to know what's happening in your business, because,

233
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 2: for example, if a team member does leave or something

234
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 2: like that and you've got to quickly send out an

235
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 2: d M, it's good that you know how to do

236
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 2: it so you're not like, you know, stuck in holidays.

237
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got to do it do their jobs, which

238
00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: that sucks.

239
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:03,959
Speaker 2: But Cooper was doing the customer air when Courtney was

240
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 2: away the other day.

241
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: I struggling, Yeah, really trained.

242
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 2: Cooper was like, oh my god, this is like the

243
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:17,559
Speaker 2: hardest job time consumer and you're gonna be so nice.

244
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, all my effort into each one, and Courtney just

245
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: knows what to say. But I was like, hmm, what

246
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: would be the best thing to say? And how do

247
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: I say it?

248
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 2: And not your zona genius? That's all right, all right?

249
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 2: So next question, do you ever have conflicting biz goals?

250
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: Yes, we definitely do.

251
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 2: We definitely do.

252
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: So.

253
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 2: Me and Cooper are very different, Like I've always said

254
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 2: this on the podcast, but Cooper is very like has

255
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 2: these like big visions and monster you know, go big

256
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 2: or go home, and I'm more like, I like to

257
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 2: rein it in and I'm like, well, let's just let's

258
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 2: just ease into it. Let's just try this little bit,

259
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 2: see how we go, then go to the next bit.

260
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 2: Was Cooper's like, let's just go big. And obviously that

261
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 2: has been amazing because it pushes me and then Irne

262
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 2: him in. But there has been a couple of things

263
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 2: where Cooper's come to the table and I was like, oh,

264
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 2: I just think it's a bit off. So Cooper. During COVID,

265
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 2: obviously everything was going online. Everything was like, yeah, was

266
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 2: like going from home, and Cooper's like, let's do an app.

267
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 2: It was yeah, yeah, and me and Mel look at

268
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 2: each other like, are you fucking kidding? Because like an app,

269
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 2: Like I know friends who have done apps, and it's

270
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 2: like two hundred grand, it's like a year's worth of work,

271
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 2: Like it's not a small practice. And then you've got

272
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 2: to keep the app up and all this thing.

273
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: And I went down the line. We talked to a

274
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: few people.

275
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 2: And yeah I did.

276
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, but I think also it realized.

277
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 2: I think we realized that it was like, oh no,

278
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 2: not really our vision, Like we were kind of straying,

279
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 2: and it was just because COVID was happening and other

280
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 2: people were doing apps and stuff and it just did

281
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 2: not feel right. And then me and Mel had to

282
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 2: sit down with Cooper and we're not doing an app

283
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 2: and he was like, yeah, nah, I'm over it. And

284
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 2: then even like for example, a recent I wouldn't call

285
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 2: it a conflict, but like for example, Cooper has always

286
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 2: loved BCAAs and always like trained with them, like before

287
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 2: we started Naked Harvest and stuff, whereas I'm someone who's

288
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 2: never really used them, and so Cooper always had the

289
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 2: idea that he wanted to do BCAAs, and I was like, oh,

290
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 2: it's not really a stuff I use, and so I

291
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 2: would always like push it off and want to do

292
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 2: other supplements. And because we generally released stuff one at

293
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 2: a time and we wanted to build our catalog, we

294
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 2: released a lot more before. But recently we did release

295
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 2: the BCAAs and it was about realizing that it's not

296
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 2: just you know about you, it's it's not just Georgie

297
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 2: Stevenson supplements that I take. And also our NH gang

298
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 2: said they wanted that supplement, so I was like, fine,

299
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 2: we can do bcs. And then now that I've tested

300
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 2: them and have been trying them, I'm like Oh, this

301
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 2: is actually a really good product. Feels so good. I

302
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 2: told you.

303
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: So.

304
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 2: Look always guys, all right, so now let's move on

305
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 2: to chat about marketing. I'll probably take lead on this Cooper. Also, guys,

306
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 2: this isn't like an interview for Cooper. I just want

307
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,919
Speaker 2: to say, this is like an interview talking about naked Harvest, which.

308
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: Is why I'm chatting about Georgia.

309
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 2: No, Cooper honestly has a chip on his shoulder about

310
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 2: me being the face of the business.

311
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 1: No one likes me.

312
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 2: We're about to do this promotion because we recently we

313
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 2: expanded and started wholesaling to Elite Supplements, and they want

314
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 2: me to come to like an opening of one of

315
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 2: those stores. And I was like to Cooper, I was like, yeah,

316
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 2: well you're coming, and He's like, well, I'm not coming

317
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 2: because they didn't address me in the email.

318
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: It's a bit different this time. But I didn't really

319
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: want to go, so I was like, well, they didn't

320
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: really ask me, and they only want you. Ye.

321
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 2: Cooper's always like, but yes, I'm always asking for you.

322
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 2: No one ever asked me.

323
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 1: Whenever we're around people, they always say, oh, Cooper, can

324
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: you take a photo of me? And Jorda, they harvest

325
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 1: and I'm like, what the hell off?

326
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 2: Cooper, just know I'm the more important. Yes, you should

327
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 2: be used to this, meaning the youngest only girl in

328
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 2: the family too. All right, guys, So marketing, So someone

329
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 2: asks please expand our marketing influence reach outs and DM. Okay,

330
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 2: so let's do this separate and I feel like I've

331
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 2: addressed this in the previous Yeah, I think you have

332
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 2: actual episodes, so I'll just be really quick. But influencer

333
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:15,679
Speaker 2: marketing has been such a huge avenue for us, obviously

334
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 2: me being an influencer myself, I knew it worked and

335
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 2: personally like, that's where I buy my stuff, Like I have,

336
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 2: you know, key people I watch and listen to and

337
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 2: if they promote products that align like I will go

338
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:36,360
Speaker 2: and buy it. So I'm almost target market as well.

339
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 2: And so we were always always big on doing influencer marketing.

340
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 2: But in saying that, it's not the only type of

341
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 2: marketing we do. We also do EDM, which is like

342
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 2: email marketing. We also do Facebook ads.

343
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: We also we want to do it to all ages,

344
00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: like for you it's Instagram, but like for me, it'd

345
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 1: be more ads on Instagram, not so much people, influencer.

346
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, Facebook ads. So when I say Facebook ads, I

347
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 2: also mean on Instagram. It's just Facebook owns Instagram. But yeah,

348
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 2: so in saying that, I think what that really builds

349
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 2: is what happens, and this is kind of like a

350
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 2: marketing sort of thing, is what happens as someone sees,

351
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 2: you know, an influencer, they're talking about the pre workout.

352
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,400
Speaker 2: They love the pre workout, but you know, maybe they're

353
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 2: not sold, but then maybe an ad pops up on

354
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 2: Facebook and they see it again. But then you know,

355
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,919
Speaker 2: maybe they're in our emails and then an email pops

356
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 2: up and tells them, you know, what the product does

357
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 2: and the key ingredients. And I really think you need

358
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 2: to have all base, all bases touched, because there's different

359
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 2: pain points, there's different reasons people buy, and so I

360
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 2: think if you're just doing one type of marketing, you're

361
00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 2: really missing out because yeah, like for me personally, it's

362
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 2: always seeing a product going on their website, not buying,

363
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 2: and then face the Facebook leaving the car and then

364
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 2: the Facebook ads always getting me and go all right,

365
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 2: I'll get it.

366
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: Convince me.

367
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, you've convinced me. So yeah, I'm huge on touching

368
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 2: all bases. And I think we really did that from

369
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 2: the start, Like from the start, we were doing emails

370
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 2: from the start, influencers, and we're always.

371
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: Looking to do better with different avenues, like there's always more.

372
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, and also don't be afraid to change things up,

373
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 2: Like if a certain avenue of marketing just isn't like

374
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 2: you're not really seeing results, it's not really doing well,

375
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 2: be like, all right, what else can we do? And

376
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 2: don't just do you know, Facebook ads, because I've said

377
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 2: it on this podcast, like You've really got to find

378
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 2: what works for your business and be I feel like

379
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 2: at the start we were literally what's that saying, like

380
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 2: throwing shit at the wall seeing what stiff Like we

381
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 2: were trying so much. We're doing so much different stuff,

382
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 2: and I think it's, yeah, you've just got to like

383
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 2: see what works for your business. And then yeah, EDM

384
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 2: is huge guys, if you haven't started like collecting emails

385
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 2: from your customers.

386
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: Or og of it.

387
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's it's also like realizing that you know,

388
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 2: Instagram and Facebook and social media has an algorithm, so

389
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 2: even if you post, not necessarily everyone's going to see

390
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 2: your post, which is shit. If you put a lot

391
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 2: of time and energy into content and so what you

392
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 2: know with emails though, is if someone signs up to

393
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 2: your email hypothetically, well not hypothetically, they're going to get

394
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 2: your email. So I'm huge on making sure you're building

395
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 2: your list, and so we do stuff like our competition

396
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 2: every month where people can win gift cards. We've done

397
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 2: various campaigns where like you've got to sign up to

398
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,679
Speaker 2: our email to you know, get the deal, and different

399
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 2: stuff like that, like always trying different things and even

400
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 2: be kind of tipped too is will do sales just

401
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 2: on email, so we won't tell anyone on Instagram and

402
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 2: Facebook and whatnot, and we will just do it till

403
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 2: you know, to our end. H game, we and we're

404
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,159
Speaker 2: like cool, you're on our email list. Here's you know,

405
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:17,120
Speaker 2: like cool little sale.

406
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's definitely value in each aspect.

407
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:24,919
Speaker 2: But next question, what do you look for when hiring

408
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 2: a new team member. This is a good question because

409
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 2: we've recently done like a fair few new hires.

410
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 1: The thing I like to see is the team morale

411
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: in the person, Like are they going to be a

412
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: fit for the business, are they going to going to

413
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,919
Speaker 1: enjoy enjoy themselves and their work? Ethic, Like you can

414
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: kind of tell when you first meet someone that they're

415
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 1: going to go above and beyond for you and they

416
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: want to be there and that, Yeah, like you here

417
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 1: see them a lot.

418
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, So for me, it's definitely, Yeah, are they like

419
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 2: team morale is huge for us. Like they've got to

420
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 2: be like, you know, fun and fun. They've gotta be fun,

421
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,919
Speaker 2: They've got to like have a good vibe, they've got

422
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 2: to have good energy. Yeah, And like I'll do a

423
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 2: good example of one of our recent hires. So we

424
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 2: hired a new social media assistant for Mel and it

425
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 2: was this, you know, young little chick who had just

426
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 2: done her I think she did a degree. I'm honestly

427
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 2: not sure. Yeah, to be honest, I kind of didn't

428
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 2: even look at her resume, but we checked out of

429
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 2: social media. I was like, oh, yeah, she knows how

430
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 2: to Mel would have looked at her resume, she knew

431
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 2: she looked like she knew how to do social media.

432
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 2: And then in the interview, you know, she was really

433
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 2: good with the question. She had a really good demeanor

434
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 2: and she was like, I like bubbly and fun and

435
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 2: you know that positive energy. And then also after she left,

436
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 2: she then sent me and Mel like this, like I

437
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 2: think it was like a camp for presentation and of

438
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 2: like some ideas for the social media, and like we

439
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 2: didn't ask her to do that, but she's just like

440
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 2: gone ahead and done it. And I think that's a

441
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 2: huge thing that me and Mel are always said when

442
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 2: hiring people, especially for the marketing team and like creative positions,

443
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 2: is are they creative? Do they go above and beyond?

444
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 2: And that's like Mel was saying when we've gone to

445
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 2: hire people previously, like they'll send us this resume and like,

446
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 2: let's say it's for a graphic designer and it's literally

447
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 2: like black and white done on word and.

448
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: She's like she got like a graphic designer.

449
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, she loses her mind. But it's about thinking, you know, uh, yeah,

450
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 2: how can I go above and beyond? How can I

451
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 2: give a little bit extra and really show this company

452
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 2: that I'm keen, that I know their products, that I

453
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 2: want to be involved, that I'm willing to go and

454
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 2: above and beyond. Because then I thought, oh, if this

455
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 2: girl is just doing this, you know, for an interview,

456
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 2: imagine her.

457
00:25:58,400 --> 00:25:58,880
Speaker 1: In the role.

458
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 2: And yeah, so we hired her and she's been awesome

459
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 2: and exact same, like really going above them beyond. So

460
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 2: that's a huge thing for me too. Glad you agree.

461
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 2: All right, guys, let's get onto some finance and money. Okay,

462
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 2: so a bit of her. We love to just answer

463
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 2: questions like outright, okay, guys, So someone asks how much

464
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,439
Speaker 2: money did we need to start? So I'm guessing they

465
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 2: want to figure of how much money we put in

466
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 2: the business from the start. It ended up being fifty each,

467
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 2: so one hundred grand and that was literally before we

468
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:47,479
Speaker 2: started selling, so that was buying our first lost stock

469
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 2: doing the cylinders. We did buy a lot of the

470
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 2: cylinders at the start because we were just very keen.

471
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 2: That was like doing the brand, doing the website or

472
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 2: the graphic design campaign, mel throughout the whole thing. And

473
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 2: so how we kind of did it from the start

474
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 2: is we opened a bank account for Naked Harvest and

475
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 2: me and Cooper would just deposit the exact same money

476
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,679
Speaker 2: in so you know, if it needed a top up,

477
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,360
Speaker 2: I'd say, okay, let's put in five K. And we'd

478
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 2: put five k in each and then.

479
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: And then it'd go down and then it.

480
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 2: Would be like, oh, we have to put in another

481
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 2: five k. Yeah, So I don't know. I definitely didn't

482
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 2: think it would be fifty and it's kind.

483
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,479
Speaker 1: Of like it would be good to have a bit

484
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: of a budget and I have a goal.

485
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 2: But we were just like, we've got to make this

486
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,880
Speaker 2: happen it yourself, and we kind of I always knew

487
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 2: Naked Harvest would be this like long term thing, so

488
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 2: I was like, what about let's just do it.

489
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: Was already in make it.

490
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 2: Yeah. Cooper's like, this needs to work otherwise I have

491
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 2: to sell my house. And I was like, no pressure,

492
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 2: but hey, okay, so next question, how much do you

493
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 2: reinvest into your business and how much personal profits do

494
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 2: you take?

495
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:18,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, so the first first six months to a year,

496
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: we reinvested everything. Everything went back into it because it

497
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: had We just wanted more of a range and we

498
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: wanted this business to really thrive.

499
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 2: And so generally at the start of a business is yeah,

500
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 2: so you obviously need to invest money. And and in

501
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,479
Speaker 2: saying that, Cooper, that fifty K we put in at

502
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 2: the start, it's not like it was just you know,

503
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 2: a lump sum of fifty k, like I said, it

504
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 2: was like you know, five k here, two k here,

505
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 2: and that was spread over it. I think it took

506
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 2: us about a year or just under, So it didn't

507
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 2: it wasn't as bad because I know that's such a

508
00:28:58,120 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 2: lot of money, But it wasn't as bad as that

509
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 2: because we were like slowly putting in money, if that

510
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 2: makes sense.

511
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I think I was still plumbing on the side.

512
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 2: To kind of well, you were still working full time

513
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 2: at the start the very time. Yeah, yeah, when we're

514
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 2: doing it, but so yeah, back to it. So, yeah,

515
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 2: it's kind of like we would sell and then all

516
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 2: that profits from that we would then reinvest to buy

517
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 2: more stock or you know, pay someone. And yeah, it

518
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 2: was six months to a year until we took probably

519
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,479
Speaker 2: six months we started talking of taking a very small

520
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 2: wage and then probably towards more of the year. Point

521
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 2: is when it could get to like a you know,

522
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 2: a decent wage where Cooper wasn't actually live ruggling. So

523
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 2: Cooper basically quit his job right at the start that

524
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 2: sold his plumbing business, quit his job and gave it away,

525
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 2: and we were full in it. So we kind of

526
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 2: like it got to a point where cou is like

527
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 2: when I need to take money out because I need

528
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 2: to pay my mortgage and look after my wife, and children. Wait, child,

529
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 2: how many children do you have? I'm having a coffee, guys.

530
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 2: But yeah, and then so now we both take a

531
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 2: wage from naked harvest and it's really.

532
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: Big lumps or anything. We just take. Yeah, we just

533
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: take a weekly wage and we keep reinvesting. It all

534
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 1: goes back into the business. Still. Yeah, and it won't

535
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 1: stop because we want to grow it.

536
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 2: So got big plans.

537
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 1: You're just gonna yeah.

538
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 2: And so that's like, if you can get to a

539
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 2: point where you are taking like a pretty a decent wage,

540
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 2: where you are comfortable to pay your bills and live

541
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 2: the lifestyle you want, I still got to live, like, yeah.

542
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 1: You don't want to be shafting yourself while your business

543
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: is thriving. Crazy like, enjoy life.

544
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 2: Enjoy life, guys, come on so annoying. Okay, r n C. Fam.

545
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 2: We're taking a quick break, and I want to ask you, guys,

546
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 2: are you getting your daily recommended intake of three fruits

547
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 2: and five veggies?

548
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: No?

549
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 2: Sometimes maybe I feel you on this.

550
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 3: Wow.

551
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 2: So in a perfect world, we are getting all our

552
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 2: vitamin minerals and needs from our food directly, But because

553
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 2: we live such hectic lives and our soil is often

554
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 2: lacking from so much farming done that doesn't always happen

555
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 2: that and that's why supplements are so popular, and that's

556
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 2: why Naked Harvest was born just to be, you know,

557
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 2: very transparent with you. So what we really wanted to

558
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 2: do was make sure you're getting what you need in

559
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 2: a convenient way when you're not getting your daily recommended

560
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 2: intake of veggies. In so introducing our newest product, Gorgeous Greens,

561
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 2: which is a greens powder that actually tastes delicious. So

562
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 2: we have been formulating this for quite a while because honestly,

563
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 2: it was so hard to have a greens powder that

564
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 2: has all the good stuff and that tastes delicious, Like

565
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 2: I honestly get why so many other greens powders just

566
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 2: taste so foul. And honestly, any other greens powder I

567
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 2: bought it, I've just never finished and I just throw

568
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 2: it away. So there are two flavors. That is very

569
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:45,479
Speaker 2: vanilla and mango magic. I recommend getting very vanilla if

570
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 2: you just want to add it to your smoothies, but

571
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 2: if you do want to have it by itself, Mango

572
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 2: magic is so delicious and so flavorsome. Also, guys, The

573
00:32:55,920 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 2: Greens Powder is gluten free, dairy free, vegan, refined, sugar free,

574
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 2: and family friendly. So one scoop equals one serfs of veggies,

575
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 2: so you're really getting veggies in at breakfast time if

576
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 2: you're a smoothie lover like me, And it just makes

577
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 2: it easier to get all the veggies in and to

578
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 2: really making sure you're getting the vitamins and minerals you

Speaker 2: try Gorgeous Greens today. So I do have a sneaky

585
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 2: code for my Rise and Concher family, which is just

586
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 2: Rise and Conquer podcasts. You can just put that at

587
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 2: checkout at Naked Half Supplements dot com and the Gorgeous

588
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 2: Greens is under the well tap. Okay, enough about Gorgeous Greens.

589
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 2: Let's get back into the show. Okay, So next question

590
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 2: someone asks about exiting. They said, selling the business, leaving

591
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 2: behind for kids. Question mark. I did these questions over Instagram,

592
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,280
Speaker 2: so they're all like they had to do limited words.

593
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 2: So I guess the question is, you know, would we

594
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 2: ever sell the business? Do we have an exiting plan? Yeah?

595
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,800
Speaker 1: I think so.

596
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 2: We've always done things with Naked Harvest where it's its

597
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:41,800
Speaker 2: own entity. So right from the start it was very important,

598
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,320
Speaker 2: Like me, Cooper and Mel sat down and we were like,

599
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 2: we don't want this to be an extension of my

600
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 2: personal brand. So you know how a lot of influences

601
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 2: is they start a company and it's their name, so

602
00:34:55,680 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 2: like Georgie Stevenson's Supplements, which obviously makes sense because it's

603
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 2: your name that has the following and whatnot. But from

604
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 2: the start, we really wanted Naked Harvest to be its

605
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 2: own entity. Yeah, to be its own business. So for example,

606
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 2: if I did have to step away from the business,

607
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 2: or if we did have to sell for some reason,

608
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 2: we could because basically, if you do have a name

609
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 2: attached to it, it makes it very hard.

610
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it would be yeah. Yeah.

611
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,760
Speaker 2: So in saying that, like from the start, we've always

612
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 2: set Naked Harvest up in the way that it can

613
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:39,360
Speaker 2: thrive by itself if anything was to happen. But I

614
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 2: don't know, I really just don't see us ever selling it. No, No,

615
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 2: like it's it's like it's our baby, guys, and it's

616
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:46,320
Speaker 2: like it's.

617
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 1: Going to be our life until we retire or something.

618
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 1: Yeah later on in.

619
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 2: Life, Like how cool if our kids then kept Naked

620
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 2: Harvest going on?

621
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 1: That cool?

622
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 2: Yeah? I don't yeah, and I don't know, like I

623
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:02,840
Speaker 2: just have such big and also I just enjoy it

624
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:08,760
Speaker 2: so much. Like if anything, I would stop the influencing

625
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 2: personal brand side of things and just work in Naked Harvest,

626
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,959
Speaker 2: and that'd be like my livelihood if I was gonna

627
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 2: quit anything, if that makes sense. So yeah, I don't know.

628
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 2: I just don't see a selling it or like anything

629
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,280
Speaker 2: like that. But in saying that, we've been very business savvy,

630
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:29,839
Speaker 2: and that's definitely a tip if you are someone who

631
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 2: starts a company is make sure even if you have

632
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 2: no plans ever to sell it, it is sellable and

633
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 2: it is its own entity. Yeah, good, thanks, Which is

634
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:48,440
Speaker 2: the whole episode? Mean Kooper giggling? So someone asks tax

635
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:52,959
Speaker 2: planning or how are you preparing for retirement? Honestly, haven't

636
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:57,800
Speaker 2: really thought about it a bit fresh Like we obviously

637
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 2: take away from Naked Harvest and that pay is super.

638
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 2: So like we're doing our super which is I guess

639
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 2: from retirement but yeah, like no retirement plans anytime soon.

640
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 2: But we have like a tax accountant who helps us

641
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:18,280
Speaker 2: with tax planning, and I have a financial advisor and stuff.

642
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 2: So like that's definitely something you've got to be. It's

643
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:26,400
Speaker 2: smart from the start too. Is we set Naked Harvests

644
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 2: up as a company, not you know, as a soul

645
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 2: trading business or that sort of thing. Like from the

646
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 2: start we were like because obviously a company gets better

647
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:41,879
Speaker 2: tax benefits, So you know you've got to be You've

648
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 2: got to be onto the tax situation from the start and.

649
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 1: Just do it right. I have a good talk to

650
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 1: your account because we do like we are a company,

651
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:54,800
Speaker 1: but set it up in a way of well this

652
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,760
Speaker 1: is what we might need to do. Is as there's

653
00:37:57,960 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 1: a trust as well.

654
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, so there's kind of like it's definitely deeper conversation,

655
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 2: but yeah, there's different ways that you can set up

656
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 2: your business. You can do trust and because.

657
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 1: It is hard to change it, change it later.

658
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. So for example, if we then wanted to change

659
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:19,800
Speaker 2: Naked Harvests into a trust, now, we would have to

660
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:23,239
Speaker 2: pay quite a hefty tax bill to do that. So

661
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 2: there's all these like yeah, anyway, guys, make sure you

662
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:27,879
Speaker 2: get professional help.

663
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: Do not ask this is not your department. Yes, get help.

664
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 2: So someone asks how did you know when the right

665
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:41,239
Speaker 2: time was to start scaling straight away?

666
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 1: Well?

667
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 2: I find this question interesting because it's not like there's

668
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 2: like a specific point where I'm like, and then we

669
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 2: started scaling?

670
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 1: Do you mean yeah, like financially helps you when you

671
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 1: do have a bit of money and then you think,

672
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 1: oh man, we can put the money into something.

673
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 2: I feel like we we never really it's not like

674
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 2: we've taken capital or we've gone and loans or anything

675
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 2: like that.

676
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 1: You've done it out.

677
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 2: We scaled it ourself. And it was kind of what

678
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 2: we're talking about before is if your business is thriving

679
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:16,880
Speaker 2: and you have got quite a bit of money in

680
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 2: the bank, it's like, where can you use it to

681
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 2: make the business better? And I think that's just what

682
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 2: we did. You know, it started to you know, be successful,

683
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 2: and things were happening and the orders were coming in,

684
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 2: so we were like, all right, where can we you know,

685
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 2: put more money into the business. And then from then

686
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 2: it scaled.

687
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, So like we did scale it after the second

688
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 1: second flavor. But we got to a point where we

689
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: weren't making enough to scale it to where we want it.

690
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: So I had to re redo the business up and

691
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:56,720
Speaker 1: get better pricing for every aspect, like revamp the business,

692
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 1: like you got to keep doing this constant. Do you

693
00:39:59,320 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 1: think that was?

694
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 2: It was probably six months in. Cooper actually went through

695
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 2: all our legs. So he went through the packaging, he

696
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:07,319
Speaker 2: went through our manufacturer.

697
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 1: Can I do better?

698
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 2: And he was like, can I get a better price?

699
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 2: Can I do this in some better way? And he

700
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 2: went through the whole business and that was such a

701
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 2: huge We end up saving like thirty percent of profits

702
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 2: or something. Okay, wasn't it?

703
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:25,439
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't know, but it was just everything like yeah,

704
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 1: but it was packaging and it's just paper or something like.

705
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 2: Always be revisiting. Don't just like think because you've done

706
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 2: something a certain way forever it's the best way.

707
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: It would it makes we change our packaging, yep. But

708
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 1: there was a lot like everything like just go over

709
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 1: Like I just literally got a bit of paper and

710
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 1: wrote down everything that we put money into, and then

711
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 1: I went through every dot point and said what can

712
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 1: we do here to save money, or what can we

713
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 1: do to do to be better? Yeah, or to put

714
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 1: more volume in to save money a little bit.

715
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 2: Later of that, but also like that's when we made

716
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 2: sure all our packaging was sustainable and catching values. Yeah,

717
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 2: making sure, Yeah, it was better for the business. All right,

718
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,840
Speaker 2: So we're going to change and we've just got a

719
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 2: couple more questions left. All right, guys, So someone asks,

720
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 2: what has been your biggest lesson or piece of advice

721
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 2: going into business? Cooper, you can go first, all right.

722
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 1: My biggest advice is anyone can start a business, like

723
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 1: thinking about how I started this business, which has been

724
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 1: brought to my attention lately.

725
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 2: That Cooper can do it anyone? Is that what you're

726
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 2: trying to say?

727
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 1: Like, the people I've been talking to lately have been

728
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 1: very intimidating, and I keep down in myself thinking I'm

729
00:41:56,719 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 1: not smart as them. I'm not smart at all, like

730
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 1: I have.

731
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:07,359
Speaker 2: Cooper's got some friends who have created like, yeah, multimillion

732
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:11,720
Speaker 2: dollar you know, businesses and doing massive revenue.

733
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 1: A very big fit.

734
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 2: Smart people, very smart, very clue. And so I think

735
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 2: you know, Cooper left school in grade ten, like he

736
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:20,840
Speaker 2: doesn't have education.

737
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 1: Plus going into plumbing like I never listened to podcasts

738
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 1: or now never tried to educate myself the ten years

739
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 1: I was plumbing. I would just.

740
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 2: Recently obviously a different story.

741
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 1: It's got my skills from business owning, and that's certain things.

742
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 2: But that's the huge thing, though, is you obviously have

743
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 2: in recent years, like probably the last three three or

744
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 2: so three or four years. Well, but that's like I

745
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:51,919
Speaker 2: love that you said that because that is so true,

746
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:55,840
Speaker 2: like it's it's never too late for anyone, and anyone

747
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 2: can do it, and not saying oh if Cooper can

748
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:00,919
Speaker 2: do it, anyone can do it, but it's so true,

749
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,840
Speaker 2: like don't doubt yourself or think, oh I didn't do

750
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 2: a business degree or I don't have connections or anything

751
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 2: like that, because Cooper, that's so like crazy that you're

752
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 2: doubting yourself, because look, you created a seven figure business.

753
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 1: No, I still don't. I think it's just when we

754
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 1: I've got to remind it, like I can do it

755
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 1: in my own space, but like when we do, like

756
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 1: the other podcasts that we've done, I just I listened

757
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 1: to them a little bit, and I think, oh my god,

758
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: I just sounds so stupid. I just, yeah, I doubt

759
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:41,279
Speaker 1: myself and that's something I got to work on. But yeah,

760
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 1: anyone can like that really got the motivation and the

761
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:48,840
Speaker 1: passion to do it, Like, just go for it because

762
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 1: you'll learn, You'll educate yourself along the way.

763
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 2: And I think if you you want it enough, like yeah,

764
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:59,360
Speaker 2: you're willing to put in the work. And also that's

765
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:03,440
Speaker 2: the big thing is Honestly, I think that's why Naked

766
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:07,240
Speaker 2: Harvest has so worked well. Is me and Cooper aren't

767
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 2: your usual business people. Do me like, we do things differently.

768
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 2: We've really come to the table with different ideas and

769
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 2: because we haven't got that background, like we've had to

770
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 2: do the research, we'd have to listen to the podcast,

771
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 2: and we've really kind of, yeah, come at things a

772
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:27,440
Speaker 2: different way. And I think that's you know, made us

773
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 2: more successful and have our own edge because we're not

774
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:33,840
Speaker 2: just like a copy you know, a copycat of a business.

775
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 2: We've really done things our own way. And you coming

776
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:41,800
Speaker 2: from your background and plumbing and you know, learning the

777
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 2: new things you have and you know my background and

778
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 2: stuff like that.

779
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 1: Different.

780
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, that's probably a great piece of advice.

781
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 2: Your mine would probably be to just like realize that

782
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 2: it's never like especially in business or just you know,

783
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 2: your career or anything like that. It's like it's not

784
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 2: like you ever fail. It's just you're always learning. So

785
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:10,440
Speaker 2: for example, if we have a launch that doesn't go

786
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 2: as well as we think, I don't see that as

787
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:17,800
Speaker 2: a failure and like, oh, well it didn't work. Naked

788
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 2: Harvest is failing or like anything like that. I really

789
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 2: take it as oh, that's interesting, I wonder and then

790
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:27,320
Speaker 2: like me and Mel will go back through things and

791
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 2: you know, was it the marketing, is it the product?

792
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 2: And we will poll our audience, and it's kind of

793
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 2: like realizing that it's like you can never actually fail

794
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 2: as long as you were learning and growing and evolving.

795
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:42,880
Speaker 1: Yes, like what I said before, like you always do

796
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 1: better in every aspect.

797
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 2: That was my point that you thought that trying take

798
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 2: my fucking point. Thank you very much. Cooper always says

799
00:45:57,360 --> 00:46:01,239
Speaker 2: so sing like we'll have a podcast. My answer. He'll

800
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:03,919
Speaker 2: be like, literally, that's just my answer. You've changed the words.

801
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 1: Well, I think it's because you say every answer and

802
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 1: then you're like you reckon guber.

803
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:17,880
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, I love to talk, That's why I

804
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 2: have a podcast. Okay, So next thing is something that

805
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:26,320
Speaker 2: went wrong, but it ended up working out for the better.

806
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 2: Shoddy answering. First all, well, we kind of we've discussed

807
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 2: this before the podcast and we both agree. So probably

808
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:38,279
Speaker 2: about eight months in we actually redid our formulas, so

809
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 2: we you know, we kept the taste, we kept the

810
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:46,320
Speaker 2: exact key ingredients, but we just tweeked the formula slightly

811
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 2: because we were having some issues with clumping if you would,

812
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 2: you know, leave it in a certain spot, and just

813
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:56,480
Speaker 2: a couple other things and we actually.

814
00:46:56,920 --> 00:47:00,359
Speaker 1: Like it was the taste as well though, like wanted

815
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:02,440
Speaker 1: to do better in the taste area too.

816
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:08,279
Speaker 2: But yeah, so anyway, we changed our formulas and we

817
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 2: were like, could this be is this social suicide? You know, like,

818
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:17,280
Speaker 2: is this going to be something that you know, breaks

819
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 2: us or make us look like we had no idea

820
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:22,320
Speaker 2: at the start or you know something like that.

821
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 1: We're scary.

822
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:25,759
Speaker 2: Actually, yeah, it was very scary, especially being like, you know,

823
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:29,399
Speaker 2: a small business. But it actually worked out so well

824
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 2: because you know, our formulas were better, tasted, better, the consistency.

825
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 2: Our audience loved it, and I think they loved that

826
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 2: we were always trying to improve ourselves and be better.

827
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 2: It's not like like we're saying before just chuck something

828
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 2: out and that's it for you know, twenty years. And

829
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 2: so I think that was definitely something that I was like, oh,

830
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:55,319
Speaker 2: that actually worked out so well in the end.

831
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:58,440
Speaker 1: The biggest thing you guys should take from this podcast

832
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:03,200
Speaker 1: is always trying to do better. We've literally said everything

833
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:07,120
Speaker 1: in the business and that's we're always thriving to be better.

834
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:11,800
Speaker 2: Okay, So tips for the very start of your business.

835
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 2: It's kind of what we were talking about right at

836
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 2: the start of the podcast, Cooper, I reckon with the

837
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 2: whole be scrappy and like just get things done. Don't think, oh,

838
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 2: I've actually got a good point. Because when I was

839
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:28,840
Speaker 2: talking to some girls in my Rise and Conquer project

840
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:33,800
Speaker 2: round four is starting soon a little plug there, but

841
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 2: they were saying like, oh, I want to start this business,

842
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:39,719
Speaker 2: but I've got to have this and I need a website,

843
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:41,880
Speaker 2: and I need this certain thing, and I need this

844
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 2: marketing plan, and they basically had all these excuses not

845
00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 2: to start, and that like we were saying, like they

846
00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:51,880
Speaker 2: wanted to spend all this money and do all this

847
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 2: effort before they even knew the idea could work. And

848
00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 2: I think the best thing we ever did was even

849
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:00,759
Speaker 2: though we did put in quite a lot of money,

850
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:04,200
Speaker 2: but we were so scrappy and we were so just like,

851
00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:08,239
Speaker 2: let's just get this like off the ground and then

852
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 2: the profits we have like we did with changing our formula,

853
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:16,800
Speaker 2: we can make things better. So highly recommend like like

854
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:19,880
Speaker 2: tips to you know, the very start of a business.

855
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 1: Just start, yeah, and trying to do as many jobs

856
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:26,919
Speaker 1: as you can yourself. That's where you're going to save money.

857
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 2: Someone asks, can you still have a successful brand in

858
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:34,080
Speaker 2: today's market? I think that's you know, saying, because it's

859
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:34,799
Speaker 2: so saturated.

860
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:37,279
Speaker 1: Definitely, it's never too late, one.

861
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 2: Hundred and ten percent.

862
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:40,480
Speaker 1: Just go for it. You can do it.

863
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:45,799
Speaker 2: Answer all right, So let's just get onto some last questions.

864
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 2: We did have a question. We'll just answer a quick

865
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:52,200
Speaker 2: question about manufacturing. Someone just asks, how did you come

866
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:54,520
Speaker 2: up with the formulas? Do you need a professional?

867
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:57,880
Speaker 1: Definitely, yes, we're not scientists.

868
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 2: It's not me and Cooper like text making these formulas

869
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:05,399
Speaker 2: in the kitchen. Trust us. That would not be good. Yeah,

870
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:09,200
Speaker 2: So we got right at the start, like our manufacturer

871
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 2: went to our manufacturer, and a manufacturer usually has a

872
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 2: food tech a food scientist who helps you with the formulas,

873
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:19,920
Speaker 2: but you need to know what you want, what you

874
00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:23,320
Speaker 2: want to do if you want certain ingredients, and be

875
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:26,920
Speaker 2: really clear about that because otherwise I don't know who

876
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:29,640
Speaker 2: knows what they would do, if that makes sense, Yeah.

877
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:31,759
Speaker 1: You don't know, like you to be you to do

878
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:32,640
Speaker 1: a lot of research.

879
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:35,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you've got to have some like knowledge and research.

880
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 2: But in the end, our food scientists makes the formula

881
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:42,839
Speaker 2: and you know, we have a really good food tech

882
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:48,880
Speaker 2: who makes sure it's within the legal standards and also

883
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 2: making sure that you know the because sometimes what we've

884
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:58,160
Speaker 2: seen in competitor brands is they'll say, oh, it includes

885
00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:02,279
Speaker 2: this ingredient, but they have actually even included enough of

886
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:05,400
Speaker 2: that ingredient to make a difference. They're just doing it

887
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:08,239
Speaker 2: for marketing purposes. And so a huge thing for us

888
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:12,439
Speaker 2: is making sure our ingredients we use and include there's

889
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:15,920
Speaker 2: actually enough of it for you to feel the difference. Yeah, definitely,

890
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:21,200
Speaker 2: So yes, definitely a professional. And last couple of questions, Cooper,

891
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:24,759
Speaker 2: So the future of n H. All right, Cooper, so

892
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:28,320
Speaker 2: what are your goals for growth? What are our goals

893
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:32,799
Speaker 2: growth growth in the next five years? Any big milestones

894
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:35,279
Speaker 2: you want to hit? What are your goals and I'll

895
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:35,920
Speaker 2: say mine.

896
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:40,240
Speaker 1: All right, My milestone is to be the best supplement

897
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 1: company in Australia. I really want randous.

898
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:47,759
Speaker 2: Australia.

899
00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:48,600
Speaker 1: Stop.

900
00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:55,279
Speaker 2: I'm Cooper. Cooper said this before and he's like in Australia,

901
00:51:57,360 --> 00:51:59,800
Speaker 2: I said it so izo. Yeah, So to be the

902
00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:00,960
Speaker 2: best company in OZ.

903
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:02,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely want to master that.

904
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:07,640
Speaker 2: So my definitely in the next five years, I'd love

905
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:11,080
Speaker 2: to see naked harvests worldwide. I'd love to have a

906
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:14,360
Speaker 2: warehouse in the States, in the UK, like, you know,

907
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:18,360
Speaker 2: because the biggest thing we have customers say is like

908
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:23,520
Speaker 2: the shipping is so expensive, so obviously entering that market

909
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:25,440
Speaker 2: is going to be hard. But we know we already

910
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:28,279
Speaker 2: have customers, but it's just yeah, difficult for them, So

911
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:31,840
Speaker 2: we want to make it easier for out worldwide en

912
00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:36,400
Speaker 2: h Gang. But that's definitely like we've already kind of started,

913
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:40,000
Speaker 2: but we've realized it's a huge step and so we're

914
00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:42,200
Speaker 2: kind of chipping away at it and it's definitely not

915
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:44,920
Speaker 2: anytime soon, but definitely a big goal. But you know,

916
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:45,799
Speaker 2: I love that goal.

917
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 1: Cooeper.

918
00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:49,480
Speaker 2: I think I think a lot of companies they'll yeah

919
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:51,759
Speaker 2: try and go worldwide, and you know they're getting some

920
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:55,320
Speaker 2: success in Australia, so they're like, yeah, let's go worldwide.

921
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 1: But I think for USTs really are guilty to that

922
00:52:58,800 --> 00:52:59,319
Speaker 1: a little bit.

923
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:01,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, like I said, I still have that goal,

924
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:05,120
Speaker 2: but I think I love the idea of really focusing

925
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 2: on our home audience and I think this bloody point

926
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:13,520
Speaker 2: is going to come back. But making our company the

927
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:17,640
Speaker 2: best it can be in Australia, acing everything and then

928
00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:21,959
Speaker 2: expanding worldwide and then doing it not just yeah, trying

929
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:23,400
Speaker 2: to scale too fast.

930
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 1: Yep.

931
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:28,880
Speaker 2: Someone asks, will you consider having your own store slash

932
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:29,880
Speaker 2: pop up stores?

933
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:31,799
Speaker 1: This interesting question?

934
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 2: Don't give Cooper any ideas.

935
00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:38,000
Speaker 1: Guys, like it would be it would be cool, but

936
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:41,200
Speaker 1: I would have to be beneficial. We haven't in a

937
00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:44,360
Speaker 1: pretty good way because it'd be super expensive to do it.

938
00:53:44,560 --> 00:53:46,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, like we just we don't need it.

939
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:49,840
Speaker 2: I don't know, Like I'm such an e commerce person.

940
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:54,640
Speaker 2: I hate going to stores and you know, shops and stuff,

941
00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:57,759
Speaker 2: so I'm all about buying stuff onlines. But I'm like,

942
00:53:57,880 --> 00:53:58,520
Speaker 2: what's the point.

943
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:02,040
Speaker 1: We do want to be open for everyone, I know,

944
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 1: not just inclusive. It has come down to, like stores

945
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 1: cost a lot of money.

946
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:12,120
Speaker 2: There's a lot of OUTBRT be ready enough for it,

947
00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:16,040
Speaker 2: so and make sure you have enough customer base to

948
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:19,360
Speaker 2: facilitate that. I'd love to do pop up stores. That

949
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:25,839
Speaker 2: would be cool, like like me in the store, you're

950
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:26,840
Speaker 2: doing it, I'll do.

951
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:29,239
Speaker 1: It and everyone can take a photo with me. Yeah.

952
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:34,480
Speaker 2: Like I'd love to do something like what's that? What's

953
00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 2: our local like pack Fair or something and have like

954
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:40,120
Speaker 2: a little store in there for a couple of weeks

955
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:43,000
Speaker 2: or you know, something like that. That would be cool.

956
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:46,160
Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't know about the whole store thing.

957
00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:48,800
Speaker 2: Like I said, I don't think we have enough products.

958
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:51,240
Speaker 1: I think it's been old school.

959
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:56,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, last question, Cooper, what is the proudest moment

960
00:54:57,280 --> 00:55:00,920
Speaker 2: and biggest wow moment that you've had so bar on

961
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:02,440
Speaker 2: the n H journey.

962
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:06,359
Speaker 1: There's definitely a lot of them, But the first thing

963
00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:09,960
Speaker 1: they come to my mind was when we launched that

964
00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:14,400
Speaker 1: first day of all of us packing orders in my

965
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:19,880
Speaker 1: house with our parents and we had so many orders.

966
00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:23,560
Speaker 1: That was massive. That was the biggest one for me, definitely.

967
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:26,960
Speaker 2: M That was actually very surreal, wasn't it.

968
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 1: It was crazy because we're like what, Yeah, we thought,

969
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:31,879
Speaker 1: oh my god, we've got something here.

970
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:37,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, and like looking back, like, yeah, I definitely for

971
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:38,040
Speaker 2: starting a business.

972
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:40,880
Speaker 1: It was shocking, it was, but it's not it's the first,

973
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:42,160
Speaker 1: so it's not the biggest, but.

974
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:47,040
Speaker 2: It's the biggest to definitely such a big moment where

975
00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:50,279
Speaker 2: I think also for Cooper too, because Cooper, like I said,

976
00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:53,719
Speaker 2: he's a big visionary, so he had already quit as

977
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:57,520
Speaker 2: plumbing job, like this was his like he's like, this

978
00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:01,200
Speaker 2: has to work. So to have that feedback where you're like, oh, fuck,

979
00:56:01,239 --> 00:56:04,320
Speaker 2: this actually might work, it's actually it would have been like,

980
00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:05,080
Speaker 2: oh thank god.

981
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:10,239
Speaker 1: It's definitely been a lot of big ones along the way.

982
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:11,200
Speaker 1: What's yours?

983
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:16,800
Speaker 2: Probably to grow our team, and I don't know, like

984
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:18,719
Speaker 2: I can't pick on there's so many, like you said,

985
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:21,200
Speaker 2: good moments, and even like our new warehouse, but I

986
00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:23,360
Speaker 2: think at the moment, like you've not I don't know

987
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:25,560
Speaker 2: if you've noticed this, but I come in the warehouse

988
00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:29,399
Speaker 2: a lot, but more than me. Yeah, so guys, when

989
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:32,160
Speaker 2: we had the old warehouse, I really didn't come in

990
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:34,680
Speaker 2: much because I don't know, it was like it was

991
00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:37,080
Speaker 2: a bit gross, it was old, and I didn't really

992
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 2: like I liked working from home in my little bubble.

993
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:42,799
Speaker 2: And also it was during COVID, so like you kind

994
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:48,040
Speaker 2: of had to and with the new warehouse because the

995
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:52,160
Speaker 2: whole marketing team is like upstairs, and we've just found

996
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:55,480
Speaker 2: that things work better when the whole team is there

997
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:58,480
Speaker 2: and you're talking to Mel quickly talking to the graphic

998
00:56:58,560 --> 00:56:59,400
Speaker 2: designer and.

999
00:56:59,440 --> 00:56:59,920
Speaker 1: That sort of thing.

1000
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:01,560
Speaker 2: It just works so much better.

1001
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:04,360
Speaker 1: And so have a good chat, yeah, just to.

1002
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:07,640
Speaker 2: Have that team morale, have some warning teas and lunch

1003
00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:12,040
Speaker 2: and a laugh. So that's been really cool for me

1004
00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:14,680
Speaker 2: is coming into the warehouse every day and like sitting

1005
00:57:14,719 --> 00:57:18,000
Speaker 2: at my desk and you know, our furniture arriving, and

1006
00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:22,080
Speaker 2: it's felt really real. Yeah, I got lots of plants

1007
00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:26,520
Speaker 2: in the warehouse and it's felt really real where I

1008
00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:29,560
Speaker 2: was like, oh wow, this is like an actual business.

1009
00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:31,600
Speaker 2: And I'm not gonna lie because me and Cooper have

1010
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:37,240
Speaker 2: our own office like out the front, and then everyone

1011
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:41,160
Speaker 2: sits like kind of together outside our offices.

1012
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:43,440
Speaker 1: Because we always have to have private.

1013
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:45,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think that's what I'm saying. It's like

1014
00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:48,120
Speaker 2: very surreal that I'm like, oh wow, we're actually like

1015
00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:52,560
Speaker 2: the bosses of this company. There's like people who work there,

1016
00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:54,000
Speaker 2: and we were like, I don't know, do me.

1017
00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:57,080
Speaker 1: Ash comes in like at least a couple of times

1018
00:57:57,120 --> 00:57:59,880
Speaker 1: a week and comes in and goes, this is yours.

1019
00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:03,480
Speaker 1: You've made this, and I'm like, yeah, I know. It's

1020
00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:05,800
Speaker 1: like it is always makes you try and think about

1021
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:06,320
Speaker 1: it a bit more.

1022
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:10,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's quite surreal because you know, you guys know,

1023
00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:13,320
Speaker 2: I've come from corporate, I've worked for other people, I

1024
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:14,800
Speaker 2: have done I've done.

1025
00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:15,760
Speaker 1: That whole we all know.

1026
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:22,480
Speaker 2: Shut up, And it's just super surreal to be in

1027
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:24,920
Speaker 2: a position, Yeah, where we have a team, we have

1028
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:28,240
Speaker 2: this warehouse, we have this cool space, and also where

1029
00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:29,439
Speaker 2: I like coming into work.

1030
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:30,760
Speaker 1: I think that's what I'm getting at.

1031
00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:34,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, and yeah, to have so much fun at work

1032
00:58:34,120 --> 00:58:36,400
Speaker 2: and to enjoy every single day and there, like I

1033
00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:39,960
Speaker 2: actually like coming into the office. And that's it's out

1034
00:58:40,080 --> 00:58:45,800
Speaker 2: lately range feeling. Anyway, Guys, I really hope you enjoyed

1035
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:49,040
Speaker 2: this episode. Thanks for joining me, Cooper, I know you're busy,

1036
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:53,240
Speaker 2: lovely to be here. Yeah, guys, can I just say

1037
00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:56,240
Speaker 2: I get into the warehouse about seven thirty these days,

1038
00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:58,360
Speaker 2: and Cooper doesn't get into like nine thirty.

1039
00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:01,880
Speaker 1: Well, it's between a eight and nine, and that's because

1040
00:59:01,960 --> 00:59:04,360
Speaker 1: I've got a pregnant wife and I try and help

1041
00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:06,440
Speaker 1: her around the house, and that comes down to the

1042
00:59:06,560 --> 00:59:09,600
Speaker 1: relationship question. I trying to be there.

1043
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:15,360
Speaker 2: I don't want to hear your expence. No, I'm joking, guys.

1044
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:17,360
Speaker 2: It does a lot of work at home. I'm really

1045
00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:24,080
Speaker 2: just joking. But yeah, thanks, I get a look. Thank

1046

Speaker 2: you so much for listening. Guys. We do appreciately listening

1047
00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:29,720

Speaker 2: love chatting about it. We love being you know, open

1049
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:34,000
Speaker 2: and honest. And I think the biggest thing is just

1050
00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:37,840
Speaker 2: what Cooper said about if we can do it, anyone

1051
00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:40,480
Speaker 2: can do it, and if you do have a passion

1052
00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:44,240
Speaker 2: and idea, like honestly, just go after it. And looking back,

1053
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:46,440
Speaker 2: definitely imagine if we didn't do Naked.

1054
00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:47,760
Speaker 1: Harbers, I would be plumbing.

1055
00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:51,560
Speaker 2: Oh I don't know what I'd do. I'd probably be fine.

1056
00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:55,520
Speaker 2: I'd probably be having a great.

1057
00:59:55,440 --> 00:59:58,600
Speaker 1: Life, but any retirement would not be that nice.

1058
