Now, we had to 0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:28.200 put a bit of a subtle thread in the Facebook 0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:31.480 group to see what you wanted to know from this series, 0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:35.200 and most of the questions were actually about production, forecasting 0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:39.280 and all that sort of stuff. So I'm really excited 0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:43.000 to bring you this episode. We we get so transparent, 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:45.679 don't we into you? Literally, I'm surprised you let me 0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:46.600 keep some of it in. 0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:47.319 Yeah. 0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:50.760 Like I was just like, go, go right ahead, because 0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:54.000 I think that's even like, that's my brand, that's en 0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:56.920 H is like, we want to be transparent. We want 0:01:56.960 --> 0:02:00.840 you guys to see exactly, you know, how things work. 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:03.640 And also I'm really proud how things work, so I'm 0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:06.040 not worried, if you know, if that makes sense, Yeah, 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:11.040 so true. So we chat pricing and profit margins, finding 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:15.160 and building relationships with good manufacturers, perfecting our products through 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:18.840 sampling hidden costs of bringing a product to life. I 0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:21.160 was actually like, when Alex was saying to me, I 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:21.480 was like. 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:22.240 Oh, good to know. 0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:27.320 It actually happened a lot. It was like, oh, very interesting, 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:34.600 and forecasting so much more. But guys, your response to 0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:39.320 like just the whole thing, the NH clad, this series 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:43.680 and everything, I just I have goosebunds, Like it's just 0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:47.240 it makes me so happy. I just once so we 0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:50.160 did the actual announcement post of the Seven Rules. I 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:53.480 think it was on Wednesday, didn't he try on NH. 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:55.720 And then once I went to bed, I just like 0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:58.960 sat reading all the comments and seeing how much of 0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:03.320 you were engaging and so exciting, and oh, it just 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:06.080 it makes me so happy. Obviously, so much has gone 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:09.920 into this collab, and you know, like we said in 0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:13.960 the first episode, like I feel like I felt really 0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:16.760 weird about it from the start because I was like, 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:20.520 it's my own brand, why would we collab? And then 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:22.720 you know, Mel had to and if you haven't listened 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:25.000 to episode one and go listen to it, Mel fully 0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:27.600 went into it, and so I was like, okay, cool, 0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:30.960 like let's do it. And then to actually do like 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:34.120 to actually plan it out and launch it and do 0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:38.760 all their things. Oh my god. It's just it's like reinvigate, 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:43.640 like reignite it like something inside me, which is really cool. 0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:47.040 Like I've been so excited and of course I'm so 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:50.360 excited for everything, and H does yeah, but it's almost 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:56.400 like made me, you know, really get so into everything. 0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:59.600 And really, I don't know, am I saying about it? Toude. 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:01.880 Now I love it because it's almost like you've always 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:04.000 had to wear three hats with R and C your 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:06.320 personal brand and end H. But this is allowing you 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:09.240 to go so deep into n H because it's two 0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:12.160 hats at the same time, so you're able to give 0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:14.680 so much time to it. But it's not a stressful 0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:17.400 experience dedicating the time. Oh my god, you just you 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:20.599 articulated that so well. Thanks you so much, and that's 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:24.919 how you feel. Thank you very much. Yeah, No, so true. 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:30.320 And I think also it's interesting because like my whole 0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:33.000 goal for this year was like Georgie putting her CEO 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:36.080 pants on, and then we've gone straight in with a 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:40.839 collab where I have never been so creative in n H. Yes, 0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:43.120 but I love it so much because not only have 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:46.400 I got my little CEO pants on, but also I've 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:49.800 been so creative in this campaign because it's mine. Yeah, 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:52.080 and just because I can. Yeah, And I think that's 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:54.159 even Like I was on the phone to one of 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:58.800 our like our e comm lead guy, and he was like, okay, 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:00.640 so just for a bit of contact and you tell me, 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:04.000 like what what do the flavors And if you guys 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:06.360 don't know, we've announced the flavors, so go and check 0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:06.760 them out. 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:08.039 So good. 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:11.320 Oh my god, I'm so upset these a limited edition. Like, 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:14.520 I'm so upset I picked the fucking best flavors, guys. 0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:16.880 I literally said to Joji this morning. I'm like, oh, 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:19.880 so you're bringing them back, right, And she was like no. 0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:23.720 I'm like no, I tear one drop limited edition and 0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:26.320 she's like, are you kidding? And it's funny because even 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:28.600 I thought, then, fuck, have I really fucked up here? 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:29.279 Yeah? 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:32.560 Because these are literally the best, but I cannot stress 0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:34.960 they will not be back, like they're not going to 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:38.760 be in the full range. So this is why I'm like, 0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:41.640 oh my god, I'm so excited. But anyway, fucked up there, 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:46.039 but we'll deal with that. What was they saying? Oh yeah, 0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:49.120 He's like okay, so tell me what the seven Rules 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:53.159 has to do with the flavors and I'm like, they 0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:56.000 have nothing to do with each other. And he's like 0:05:56.360 --> 0:06:00.080 he's very data driven. He's like okay, so, and I'm like, 0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:03.160 that's the whole point of this collab. It's my collab, 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:04.560 so I could just do what the fuck I want 0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:10.440 and he was like about to combusta. It's like okay, 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:14.960 my brain doesn't and I'm like no, Like the messaging 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:17.800 is this is obviously bringing out a Georgie edit of 0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:21.039 my favorite flavors, which we've killed the flavors, but in 0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:25.040 true Georgie fashion, because it's Georgie. It's like my brand 0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:27.239 is that's gonna be It's gonna be so much more 0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:29.560 than just flavors. Yeah, it's gonna be the way I 0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:32.640 show it. It's gonna be how like the new standard 0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:36.560 of myself. And also if I have the opportunity to 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:40.320 bring more value to my community, you bet I'm gonna 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:43.400 do it. Yeah, So, like, why wouldn't I have fun 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:46.400 with this campaign? Why wouldn't I bring in another aspect 0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:48.880 that is so me? Like it like to me, it 0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:50.760 just all makes sense in my brain. But I can 0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:54.640 understand from like an outside perspective, you'd be like, what 0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:57.280 is happening right now? But also that's what's cool because 0:06:57.279 --> 0:06:59.320 I'm like, only me and my community get it, and 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:02.680 it's like cool. Yeah, I'm happy with that because like, 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:07.240 I really only care about them. I love this so much. Well, 0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:09.120 you want to tell us about the seven rules? 0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:09.479 Yeah? 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:11.720 Oh yes, okay, so of course you can go on 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:15.000 and h's social because we've got some really gorgeous Oh 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:17.520 my god, Mick just did the best on the design 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:20.080 for this campaign, and I cannot wait to like for 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:23.400 her to unpack that in her episode. I think that's next, Yes, yeah, 0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:28.559 next Tuesday. But the seven rules. So number one, and guys, 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:30.680 this is I don't know if you guys have noticed, 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:32.680 but like I've really had a bit of an up 0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:35.720 level in the last you know, three months. I think 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:42.240 it's safe to say we've all and so this is 0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:45.480 really a reflection of like what that has looked like. 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:51.120 So Rule number one, shift your internal dialogue. This rule 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:55.000 is basically about it's so simple. It's so simple, yet 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:59.320 it is so overlooked of if you think about how 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:02.120 you speak to the people you love and how much 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:05.640 you lift them up and how much you you know, 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:11.600 give them love through that through your language, and then 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:15.360 how much you don't do that to yourself, and it's 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:18.320 so sad to me, and it's and the reason why 0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:21.640 I brought that in is because I've realized, literally only 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:24.400 three months ago, that so much of my internal dialogue 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:27.240 was shame of me, shaming myself, which I did not 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:31.120 even realize. So huge evolution for me right now is 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:35.800 making sure my internal dialogue matches you know how I 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:39.200 would want to speak to my best friend, and that's 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:43.080 it's it's so simple, but it's so huge. Next rule, 0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:48.000 keep the promises you make with yourself. This has been 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:52.240 fucking epic for me because when we keep the promises 0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:56.280 we make for ourself, we build self trust and then 0:08:56.360 --> 0:09:00.320 this shows our self that, like our word is law, 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:02.360 and what we say we're going to do, we're going 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:04.600 to do. So when we say something, we then go 0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:08.120 and do the thing. It's like this little circle. So 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:11.840 I love it so so important. Number three, turn up 0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:15.880 the volume of your intuition. You guys know, I'm all 0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:19.359 about listening to your intuition. And I think so many times, 0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:21.439 you know, like if your best friend was in your 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:24.840 ear and she's telling you, don't date that guy. He's 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:27.720 a fuck boy, don't you know? Like and she's you know, 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:31.440 she cares about you, and she's telling you, like, let's 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:35.280 be honest, you do ignore her sometimes, but it's like 0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:38.320 your intuition is like your little bestie in your ear 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:40.920 and you've got to listen to her. Number four, stay 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:43.920 true to your boundaries. All I'm gonna say to this 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:48.440 rule is if you're not respecting your boundaries why do 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:51.439 you expect anyone else to just a little bit of 0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:55.360 number five dish out the compliments, So kind of going 0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:58.320 with number one of like, I just feel like we 0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:01.520 are so quick to pep everyone else up and give out, 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:03.880 you know, beautiful language to other people, but we don't 0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:06.640 do it to ourselves. So I want to challenge you, guys, 0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:10.760 look in the mirror, look into your own eyes, and 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:13.719 give yourself a compliment that you fucking mean do you 0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:17.560 feel scared? So scared I tear. I want you to 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:19.559 update us in the next episode of how you went 0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:24.360 with that? Yeah, okay, number six. Know your priorities. So 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:27.200 this is like a funny one bit of like, for example, 0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:29.720 if you're bestie had a europ holiday plan that you 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:31.760 know she was so excited for. That's going to give 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:35.240 her so many amazing experiences. And then there's these like 0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:39.280 bougie shoes on sale, like some Prota shoes or some shit, 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:42.000 You're going to keep her focus and you'd be like, 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:45.760 this could literally be your your fund, this could be 0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:48.880 your sale crozer fucking trip, you know, like, and then 0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:50.880 you're just keeping her focus and she's like, Oh, you're 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:53.760 so right, that's what we can do to ourselves. So 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:56.120 first of all, you'll get clear on what your priority is, 0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:59.559 but then like you know, keep yourself to it because 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:02.679 if you don't do it like you're it's like no 0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:05.800 one's going to do it sort of thing. The last one, 0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:09.240 and my favorite one is give your self permission to 0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:12.240 go after it. I love this one. So it's like, 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:15.080 you know, how a tear We like we poll people, 0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:17.720 We're like what do you think? And like we're always 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:19.640 like go to our best to be like, oh, this 0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:22.160 is the dilemma, what do you think? And I feel 0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:24.840 like we can waste so much time and energy and 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:27.839 it's like, imagine if we just gave that permission, because 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:29.680 all we're looking for we already kind of know what 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:31.480 we want to do, but we want someone else to 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:35.280 be like, yeah, go and validate validation. So imagine if 0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:37.200 we gave that to ourselves, like how much time and 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:39.559 energy we would save and then how much further along 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:42.880 we'd be because we're constantly moving. And I honestly think 0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:46.240 that is like that's life changing in itself, and like 0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:49.800 my kind of big thing with this and I just 0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:51.400 want to say it because I think it's so beautiful, 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:53.720 is like if you think about it, if you don't 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:57.720 risk the failure, you'll never have the chance to succeed. 0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:02.800 So if you're constant stopping asking a million people, waiting 0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:06.040 for validation, you're not like you're not taking risks, you're 0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:08.360 not moving forward, You're never going to have the chance 0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:11.320 to succeed. I feel like you'll also be constantly behind 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:14.199 the curve, Like in a business sense, if you waited 0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:17.320 to upholl every single person before you start a business 0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:19.360 or make a decision to shift the way your business 0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:21.000 is going, You're not going to be at the forefront 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:22.560 of anything. You're going to be with the rest of 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:24.640 the pack. And that makes it so much harder one 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:27.400 hundred and ten percent. And also it's like, I just 0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:31.240 don't think it's feasible to every single life decision you 0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:33.880 have to go fucking poll people or get validation. Like 0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:35.960 I don't want to live a life like that personally. 0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:39.520 So those are the seven rules. Go check them out 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:42.880 on NH's Instagram, get around them. I'd love to know 0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:47.320 your thoughts. And even let's put a Facebook post in 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:51.120 and ask the RNC community just like what some of 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:53.920 their rules are for showing up for themselves as their 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:56.600 own best friend, because you know these are mine, but 0:12:56.640 --> 0:12:58.400 I'd love to hear you guys, and I just I 0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:01.680 think you have so many interesting points too, So we'll 0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:05.520 do that. Go to the Facebook group if you're interested. So, guys, also, 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:08.320 before we get into the episode. On Tuesday was the 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:12.240 start of the astrological year. We literally started, you know, 0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:15.160 the first zodiac sign, which is aries.

Yeah, and then I'm pretty much into emails, 0:18:14.400 --> 0:18:18.040 So I get a lot of emails, especially being production, 0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:20.760 a lot of our supplies are based overseas, so a 0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:23.919 lot of my emails will come through overnight, which I 0:18:23.960 --> 0:18:29.280 need to prioritize anything that's superurgent, which might be product approvals, 0:18:29.480 --> 0:18:33.480 order confirmations, any production issues that are coming up and 0:18:33.560 --> 0:18:37.240 might like affect the flow and if we're to get 0:18:37.280 --> 0:18:40.639 something on time. So the critical path, the critical path 0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:43.320 that I'm on everyone's bums about. 0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:48.080 So Alex basically organizes like all our packaging, the logistics 0:18:48.080 --> 0:18:50.680 of getting the products in and out of the warehouse, 0:18:51.480 --> 0:18:56.439 development as well yasing with like all our wholesales product development. 0:18:57.640 --> 0:19:01.120 You do so much?

I'm like, sorry, 0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:12.920 that's not allowed today. 0:19:13.320 --> 0:19:13.960 I'm not having that. 0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:17.520 And then she's like, you've got ten seconds get this 0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:23.000 to jazz and then get it to me. And I'm like, fine, God, 0:19:23.320 --> 0:19:23.639 I know. 0:19:24.240 --> 0:19:24.320 So. 0:19:24.480 --> 0:19:27.000 Also, me and Alex know each other from when we 0:19:27.040 --> 0:19:27.800 were teenagers. 0:19:28.000 --> 0:19:31.600 Yeah, so Cooper's wife is actually a really good friend 0:19:31.600 --> 0:19:33.240 of mine since we were about thirteen. 0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:35.560 So Georgie and Cooper, I've. 0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:38.960 Bicked her parties with Alex and I was like, like sixteen, 0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:43.639 I've a dan. So if you're wondering the banter, that's 0:19:43.760 --> 0:19:44.920 because I just want to. 0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:49.200 Make So we've known each other a long long time. 0:19:49.359 --> 0:19:52.560 We go, Yeah, we have a lot of fun. But Alex, 0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:55.840 so she does she creates these like critical paths where 0:19:55.840 --> 0:19:59.800 it's like, if you want a product launched by this time, 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:04.560 she will backtrack and then tell you know, us the team, 0:20:04.760 --> 0:20:07.040 the key dates, when the packaging needs to be in, 0:20:07.560 --> 0:20:11.320 when we have to you know, start certain processes, and 0:20:11.359 --> 0:20:14.199 so it really is logistics of the products, of the 0:20:14.240 --> 0:20:16.760 warehouse of everything in that side of the business. 0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:21.160 Yeah, so that critical path is like our bible. Yeah, 0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:22.480 keeping everyone on track. 0:20:22.760 --> 0:20:24.280 I never I never actually looked at it. 0:20:24.760 --> 0:20:28.760 I put it a fairy few buffers there, knowing Georgie 0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:29.240 and Coope. 0:20:29.320 --> 0:20:31.040 You need the. 0:20:32.800 --> 0:20:33.800 Bit of fun, I know. 0:20:34.040 --> 0:20:37.159 But yeah, it's important for it and making sure everyone's 0:20:37.200 --> 0:20:38.840 across it. If that means I have to be on 0:20:38.880 --> 0:20:40.600 top of everyone, then that's what I do. 0:20:41.560 --> 0:20:45.200 You need to all right, Alex, So let's chat product development, 0:20:45.800 --> 0:20:51.280 maybe talk the audience through how to find a good manufacturer, 0:20:51.440 --> 0:20:55.520 so someone to create the product or you know, in 0:20:55.600 --> 0:20:59.080 our case, fill the product and what that looks like 0:20:59.280 --> 0:21:01.359 to create a good relationship. 0:21:01.960 --> 0:21:04.879 So this can be a hard part, especially trying to 0:21:04.960 --> 0:21:08.080 source a new supplier. Say you don't your current supply 0:21:08.200 --> 0:21:11.640 base can't do what you need them to do, trying 0:21:11.640 --> 0:21:13.280 to find a new supply can be quite hard. 0:21:13.359 --> 0:21:15.360 But I guess I do a lot of research. 0:21:15.480 --> 0:21:18.240 I use my network, So if there's supplies I've previously 0:21:18.320 --> 0:21:21.639 work with that are suitable, I'll approach them. Often if 0:21:21.680 --> 0:21:23.840 they can't do it, they can actually connect you with 0:21:23.960 --> 0:21:26.760 suppliers that can so that kind of forms a little 0:21:26.800 --> 0:21:29.000
