<v Speaker 2>Look, you guys are well acquainted with Cooper. So today's

0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:22.480
<v Speaker 2>episode is a special one because we are going to

0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:26.400
<v Speaker 2>tell you all the behind the scenes of the April

0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:33.440
<v Speaker 2>Fool's prank we paused, the funny, outrageous billboards we made,

0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:40.640
<v Speaker 2>and our brand new name change in Naked Harvest, which

0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:44.319
<v Speaker 2>is now called New Harvest and just giving you the

0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:51.520
<v Speaker 2>inside scoup. Let's do it, okay, so Coop. First of all,

0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:57.840
<v Speaker 2>we were a bit crazy with our marketing plan. Obviously,

0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:00.680
<v Speaker 2>we were going to introduce the new name that has

0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:03.440
<v Speaker 2>been a long time coming, which we'll get into very soon,

0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:07.840
<v Speaker 2>but in true and h fashion, we wanted to do

0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:11.320
<v Speaker 2>it with a bit of fun, with a bit of difference. Yeah,

0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:13.000
<v Speaker 2>I am going to put my hand up and say

0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 2>taking the team to the US was my idea.

0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:19.960
<v Speaker 3>I remember it actually. I was in the car going home.

0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:23.240
<v Speaker 3>You're like, oh my god, I get the best idea

0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:29.160
<v Speaker 3>and you told me at all. I was like, what

0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:31.800
<v Speaker 3>what is wrong with you? That's the weirdest thing you've

0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:33.880
<v Speaker 3>ever heard? And I'm like, I trust you, and I

0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:36.800
<v Speaker 3>trust you in anything you do in marketing. And I

0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:40.480
<v Speaker 3>was like, yep, well, let's just do it right on.

0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:42.560
<v Speaker 3>Let's roll with it.

0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:44.120
<v Speaker 2>I had to and then I had a meeting with

0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:47.080
<v Speaker 2>the team in our like Monday marketing meeting, and I

0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:50.480
<v Speaker 2>had to like really pitch this idea. So basically, the

0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:54.120
<v Speaker 2>whole point of our name change is because of trademark

0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:59.760
<v Speaker 2>issues in certain international markets, and so we kind of

0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:03.359
<v Speaker 2>made the decision to change our name in all markets,

0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:07.320
<v Speaker 2>so it wasn't confusing, and so we can continue expanding.

0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:12.000
<v Speaker 2>And so again if you look at NH's history, we

0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:17.480
<v Speaker 2>love doing marketing in a fun and entertaining way because

0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:22.080
<v Speaker 2>life's too short and life's too boring sometimes. And so

0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:26.480
<v Speaker 2>I had this funny idea where I was like, well,

0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:32.120
<v Speaker 2>why don't we pretend like fake taking the team to

0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:37.200
<v Speaker 2>the US. And we did have Chantelle our GM and

0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:41.640
<v Speaker 2>Kelly RCFO already planned to go to the US to

0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:44.360
<v Speaker 2>do some market research and to go to an expo.

0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:46.560
<v Speaker 2>So I think that's kind of where the idea was

0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:49.280
<v Speaker 2>sitting in my head. And then I was like, let's

0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:53.280
<v Speaker 2>do this whole thing where everyone thinks we're in the US.

0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:56.720
<v Speaker 2>And then on April Fall's Day because that lined up,

0:03:56.720 --> 0:04:01.120
<v Speaker 2>which was cool, be like joking not in the US

0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:07.280
<v Speaker 2>because technically we can't trade there. And then go into

0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:12.200
<v Speaker 2>a couple of days of I guess not telling the

0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:15.760
<v Speaker 2>name change, but like just introducing the idea of like,

0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:19.159
<v Speaker 2>well things had to change, things have to move. And

0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:23.240
<v Speaker 2>then I had this really funny idea because I'm so

0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:26.680
<v Speaker 2>attached to naked, Like I'm so attached to Naked it's

0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:31.000
<v Speaker 2>been our identity. It's been something we've played into. It's

0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:36.200
<v Speaker 2>so fun. It makes us very different in the market.

0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:39.400
<v Speaker 3>I feel like if we stood out from the start.

0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:42.760
<v Speaker 2>Yes, And then I think also because most of the

0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:50.680
<v Speaker 2>sports supplements brands, it's very sport supplements like it's very yeah.

0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:55.760
<v Speaker 3>Jim Junkie, Yeah, manly, Yes, more of the performance sort

0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:57.240
<v Speaker 3>of names and that sort of thing.

0:04:57.279 --> 0:04:59.520
<v Speaker 2>But yeah. So I loved that we were always just

0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:02.520
<v Speaker 2>a bit old alternatives. So I was really sad about

0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:06.280
<v Speaker 2>us letting go of naked in our name. So I

0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:08.880
<v Speaker 2>was like, look, let's go out with a bang. The

0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:11.760
<v Speaker 2>original idea that I had in my head was me

0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:16.000
<v Speaker 2>and Cooper actually posing in front of like well known

0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:20.520
<v Speaker 2>billboard locations in like Gold Coast and like Brisbane, but

0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:23.400
<v Speaker 2>that just didn't happen because of timing. It all had

0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:26.440
<v Speaker 2>to come together quite fast and we had stuff on.

0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:30.839
<v Speaker 2>Then we did our billboard campaign, which I'm sure you

0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:35.600
<v Speaker 2>guys saw, where we got naked.

0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:38.480
<v Speaker 3>Most of us can.

0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:44.680
<v Speaker 2>Cooper downright refused and we were like, you're so lame, Cooper.

0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:50.040
<v Speaker 2>All right, we'll photoshop you. So Cooper's photoshopped, but I'm naked,

0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:54.960
<v Speaker 2>and so is someone from the team who I won't name. Basically,

0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:57.719
<v Speaker 2>we wanted to do these billboards that were really focused

0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:00.240
<v Speaker 2>on like, we're going out the way we came in.

0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:04.240
<v Speaker 2>It was time to cover up and really focus on

0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:08.000
<v Speaker 2>the fact that naked was the word that we were

0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:12.000
<v Speaker 2>dropping in the name. And so they're also just like

0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:16.880
<v Speaker 2>a bit outrageous and a bit fun. Again, eyes attention,

0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:20.360
<v Speaker 2>that's the whole point of marketing. And so they went

0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:24.800
<v Speaker 2>up and everyone was like, what is happening, which is

0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:27.960
<v Speaker 2>very very fun to see. The whole time everyone was

0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:32.360
<v Speaker 2>quite confused, which again creates that kind of like what

0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:33.040
<v Speaker 2>are they doing?

0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:37.480
<v Speaker 3>Well, it's the whole point when people rename companies. It's

0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:40.599
<v Speaker 3>just we had to do this. We're just moving forward,

0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:43.520
<v Speaker 3>we're just leveling up. So when you come up with

0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:48.920
<v Speaker 3>this idea, it was way more fun and just different, like, yes,

0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:51.880
<v Speaker 3>I haven't seen anyone do that. So it took me

0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:54.960
<v Speaker 3>a little while just to understand the whole concept because

0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:57.440
<v Speaker 3>I missed the one thing that I missed.

0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:01.160
<v Speaker 2>You missed the marketing meeting, Yeah, flind it to the teams.

0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:02.599
<v Speaker 3>And then when I was on the phone to you,

0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:04.440
<v Speaker 3>it must have skipped out a bit because I was

0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:08.520
<v Speaker 3>going towards my house. But the one key factor that

0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:12.480
<v Speaker 3>I missed was the naked part, like we're stripping back.

0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:16.200
<v Speaker 2>Yes, well, our tagline when we first started Naked Harvest

0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:19.040
<v Speaker 2>was like we've stripped things back, we're naked.

0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:22.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah that part. I didn't understand that part. I didn't

0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:24.600
<v Speaker 3>hear that part, so I was like, it was so

0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:27.320
<v Speaker 3>confusing for me. But once I heard that when we

0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:30.040
<v Speaker 3>were filming trouper literally.

0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:31.760
<v Speaker 2>On the day that we were like filming content to

0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:34.920
<v Speaker 2>go to the airport, like fakely, he goes, I still

0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:36.320
<v Speaker 2>don't get what we're doing.

0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:41.480
<v Speaker 3>Explaining this to you again, it was in the naked

0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:44.560
<v Speaker 3>photo shoot that I was like, I didn't believe in

0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:45.600
<v Speaker 3>this campaign.

0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:48.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it keeps like I don't understand what's happening. I'm like,

0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:51.400
<v Speaker 2>oh my god, this is so draining. This is my

0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:56.760
<v Speaker 2>life anyway, That's why I do the marketing side of thing.

0:07:57.360 --> 0:07:59.920
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, we wanted to be fun and different and obviously,

0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:04.840
<v Speaker 2>you know when you usually do a rebrand like this,

0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:07.240
<v Speaker 2>you know you get PR and you get people to

0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:10.360
<v Speaker 2>talk about it, and so to be very transparent, this

0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:13.680
<v Speaker 2>is a very cheap way to do our own PR

0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:16.320
<v Speaker 2>and to get people talking about it, to get eyes

0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:18.520
<v Speaker 2>on it. So we just wanted to be a bit fun,

0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:21.920
<v Speaker 2>a bit unique, and I feel like we really did that.

0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:24.840
<v Speaker 2>It is interesting. We had a little bit of backlash,

0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:28.000
<v Speaker 2>people being like I don't get this, or like this

0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:31.240
<v Speaker 2>is a stupid prank. I'm like, live live a little.

0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:37.800
<v Speaker 2>But also I think anything like that shows like for

0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:41.520
<v Speaker 2>someone to go out of their way to comment on

0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:46.240
<v Speaker 2>a marketing campaign, it just shows that you've got like.

0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:48.880
<v Speaker 3>You're doing something right one.

0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:53.360
<v Speaker 2>Hundred percent, you're attracting attention. And so yeah, that was

0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:56.760
<v Speaker 2>kind of the marketing side, which was super fun. And

0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:59.640
<v Speaker 2>then absously we introduced the name and everyone understood it.

0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:03.880
<v Speaker 2>And also I think a big decision behind this. When

0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:06.600
<v Speaker 2>we were talking about it, you know, we were like, oh,

0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:09.400
<v Speaker 2>what's the messaging, Like why do we say we changed

0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:11.760
<v Speaker 2>the name? And there was a couple of kind of

0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:16.120
<v Speaker 2>ideas floating around, but me and Cooper were like, let's

0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:18.400
<v Speaker 2>just tell them the truth, you know, let's just say

0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:21.920
<v Speaker 2>it as it is, because I feel like that's how

0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:24.160
<v Speaker 2>we've always run the company and it's very like what

0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:27.000
<v Speaker 2>you see is what you get, very transparent. So that's

0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:29.400
<v Speaker 2>why we really wanted to use the whole Well, we

0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:31.559
<v Speaker 2>can't trade in the US. That's why we didn't go

0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:41.280
<v Speaker 2>to the US. It just is what it is. Yeah,

0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:44.960
<v Speaker 2>So well, let's chat about some business learnings with this

0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:45.520
<v Speaker 2>whole thing.

0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:51.960
<v Speaker 3>The learnings, like I wouldn't choose anything less than what

0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:55.439
<v Speaker 3>we have chosen, Like, I wouldn't I wouldn't change anything

0:09:55.559 --> 0:10:00.600
<v Speaker 3>because choosing naked at the start really got our scene

0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:05.040
<v Speaker 3>in the industry because when you do look into trademarks,

0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:08.960
<v Speaker 3>it's really expensive. So when you first starting a company,

0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:12.920
<v Speaker 3>like our learnings would be, oh, like you should look

0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:16.400
<v Speaker 3>into your trademarks around the world, but like when you

0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:18.800
<v Speaker 3>first start, you're not really thinking about around the world.

0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:24.480
<v Speaker 3>You're thinking about your suburb. So like the learnings, yeah,

0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:29.200
<v Speaker 3>like we should have got the trademark thing sorted a

0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:32.480
<v Speaker 3>bit earlier, but we just chose naked, and we just

0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:38.880
<v Speaker 3>got caught because I started this whole trademark issue like

0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:42.960
<v Speaker 3>three years ago, and it's taken us about three years

0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:47.120
<v Speaker 3>to finally get this over the line, because I tried

0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:52.959
<v Speaker 3>to trademark naked in the US and that was around

0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:56.880
<v Speaker 3>nine to twelve months, and we got right down the

0:10:57.080 --> 0:11:00.600
<v Speaker 3>end that we got a lawyer letter saying that we

0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:04.160
<v Speaker 3>can't trade in America. Because someone else had Naked in

0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:09.080
<v Speaker 3>supplements and then we had to start again. Definitely a

0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:12.640
<v Speaker 3>lot of learnings, but I wouldn't change anything what we

0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:15.400
<v Speaker 3>did because back then we weren't really.

0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:18.400
<v Speaker 2>Ready to go to America or just yet take it

0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:21.800
<v Speaker 2>international or anything like that, and we weren't a lot

0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:23.280
<v Speaker 2>of resources.

0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:24.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:28.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Well it's like, obviously in a perfect world, you

0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:33.040
<v Speaker 2>pick a name that you can trademark everywhere, and it's.

0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:34.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, because it's so much money.

0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:37.120
<v Speaker 2>It costs a lot of money to trademark. So for example,

0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:41.240
<v Speaker 2>even if now you pick a name that's not trademarked,

0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:44.320
<v Speaker 2>when you're ready to trademarket and have the funds to

0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:49.320
<v Speaker 2>trademarket in even twelve months, it might be taken like

0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:52.240
<v Speaker 2>that's kind of like the risk you take. So it

0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:55.400
<v Speaker 2>is definitely something you've got to look into at the start.

0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:59.920
<v Speaker 2>But in saying that, like I don't yeah, I don't regret,

0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:03.720
<v Speaker 2>or like I wouldn't really change it because Naked has

0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:07.360
<v Speaker 2>been such a big part of our identity and also

0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:11.120
<v Speaker 2>like we're changing it to New Harvest, which is and

0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:15.480
<v Speaker 2>new Harvest, so it's still n h. The branding still

0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:19.720
<v Speaker 2>exactly the same. We wanted to keep it, you know,

0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:22.280
<v Speaker 2>very similar, and we'll go through why we did call

0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:25.880
<v Speaker 2>it New Harvest soon. But yeah, basically this whole thing

0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:29.959
<v Speaker 2>did start three years ago when we realize that we

0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:34.840
<v Speaker 2>did want to take Naked Harvest internationally and we like

0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:39.680
<v Speaker 2>we do technically still sell international, Like we have really

0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:43.200
<v Speaker 2>amazing like New Zealand customers, We have people around the world.

0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:47.760
<v Speaker 2>The big thing though, is we're not very accessible because

0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:51.760
<v Speaker 2>the shipping is so expensive from Australia for the customer

0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:56.480
<v Speaker 2>and for us personally, and so you know, to be

0:12:56.600 --> 0:13:00.560
<v Speaker 2>able to you know, export and have our product you

0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:05.080
<v Speaker 2>know maybe in certain locations internationally, you have to have

0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:07.760
<v Speaker 2>a trademark and you have to be able to.

0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:11.199
<v Speaker 3>Try and store, like to be in the big warehouses

0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:14.120
<v Speaker 3>there and like trade trade there, so you need those things.

0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:16.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so it's kind of been a blocker for us

0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:21.800
<v Speaker 2>for the last three years. And we actually decided on

0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:24.920
<v Speaker 2>the name New Harvests three years ago.

0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:26.880
<v Speaker 3>Two yeah, two years ago.

0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:29.680
<v Speaker 2>We actually had our company kind of come in and

0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:33.840
<v Speaker 2>help us with the name change to make sure trademarks

0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:37.400
<v Speaker 2>it made sense, etc. And they gave us a whole

0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:41.600
<v Speaker 2>heap of names to pick from and can you kind

0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:43.200
<v Speaker 2>of like I know it was two years ago, Coop,

0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:46.199
<v Speaker 2>but can you kind of remember why you liked New Harvests.

0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:49.560
<v Speaker 3>Well, it kind of fit like it was fitting in

0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:53.000
<v Speaker 3>my head with change your name new and then it's

0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:57.800
<v Speaker 3>spelt different, it still had the NH symbol. I don't know,

0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:00.040
<v Speaker 3>it just it just felt right, like it was just

0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:03.560
<v Speaker 3>such an inner sort of thing that like it just

0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:08.199
<v Speaker 3>felt it felt good. Yeah, and then it looked really

0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:13.160
<v Speaker 3>professional as well. And I could definitely see New Harvest

0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:20.200
<v Speaker 3>being worldwide. It's or a wad scale, so I don't know,

0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:22.960
<v Speaker 3>it was like really easy once once I saw it,

0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:24.480
<v Speaker 3>it was like that's it.

0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:27.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And I think I also loved it because it

0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:30.880
<v Speaker 2>was simple. Sometimes Naked Harvest is such a long name

0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:34.880
<v Speaker 2>because it's Naked Harvest supplements even on Instagram and whatnot,

0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:38.280
<v Speaker 2>So like I loved that it was like just made

0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:41.000
<v Speaker 2>it shorter. I also love the fact because if we

0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:44.720
<v Speaker 2>think about the name Naked Harvest, it obviously means like

0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:48.680
<v Speaker 2>our ingredients are stripped back, you know, natural as possible,

0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:54.160
<v Speaker 2>and with New Harvest it gives a similar feel. But

0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:59.760
<v Speaker 2>I feel like we as the company has progressed, we

0:14:59.800 --> 0:15:03.960
<v Speaker 2>all also have progressed in the products we offer and

0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:08.440
<v Speaker 2>kind of what we reflect and like New Harvest to

0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:11.800
<v Speaker 2>me feels a bit more spotty. You know, yes, we've

0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:15.760
<v Speaker 2>stripped it back. It's still no feelers, no crap. What

0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:18.080
<v Speaker 2>you see is what you get. But it's like this

0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:21.560
<v Speaker 2>beautiful like New Harvest, because even if you think about supplements,

0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:26.600
<v Speaker 2>you should always been trying to get your nutrition vitamins

0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:32.160
<v Speaker 2>through food, Like that's just an ideal world. But because

0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:36.280
<v Speaker 2>of our soil, because of everything that has gone off,

0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:39.480
<v Speaker 2>because of we're so busy, because of you know, the

0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:43.120
<v Speaker 2>pesticides and whatnot, we're not getting all our nutrition through

0:15:43.120 --> 0:15:46.120
<v Speaker 2>our food. And so even like the word like new harvest,

0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:49.720
<v Speaker 2>because it's like it is quite new age that we

0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:52.840
<v Speaker 2>have to take supplements and we have to go to

0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:57.400
<v Speaker 2>these other sources because our food isn't just it anymore.

0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:02.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And also that we're some people are naturally deficient

0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:06.880
<v Speaker 3>in all the things. I know, I'm naturally deficient in

0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:07.920
<v Speaker 3>B six and.

0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:14.480
<v Speaker 2>Like extensive testing and we found like what vitamins were

0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:26.080
<v Speaker 2>naturally deficient in. Yeah, So why international markets we are

0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:31.240
<v Speaker 2>obviously Ossie made, we're Ossie grown, and this will always

0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:36.480
<v Speaker 2>be our majority market. But also the main idea and

0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:39.960
<v Speaker 2>always from the beginning, the big dream with Naked Harvest

0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:45.200
<v Speaker 2>was to be accessible to that everyday person who wanted

0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:49.560
<v Speaker 2>to enhance their you know, mourning their workout their night,

0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:55.000
<v Speaker 2>and so to be international. We do have community in

0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:58.440
<v Speaker 2>the States, in New Zealand, you know, in Canada. We

0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:01.400
<v Speaker 2>even had like throughout this process of our marketing, we've

0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:04.760
<v Speaker 2>had so many comments being like, yes, I've been waiting

0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:06.679
<v Speaker 2>for you to come to Canada, I've been waiting for

0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:09.520
<v Speaker 2>you to come to the States, etc. And so it's

0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:11.960
<v Speaker 2>very exciting because we just get to reach more of

0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:14.720
<v Speaker 2>our community, we get to be more accessible.

0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:19.719
<v Speaker 3>Australians are one of the leaders in the natural area

0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:22.800
<v Speaker 3>of foods and that sort of thing, because I have

0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:27.200
<v Speaker 3>heard like when people are in the States or other

0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:31.760
<v Speaker 3>countries they buy stuff from Australia because they just know

0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:33.000
<v Speaker 3>it's more natural.

0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:38.119
<v Speaker 2>Have you heard of It is even interesting in the

0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:43.320
<v Speaker 2>supplement world what we've seen, like even flavors for example

0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:46.960
<v Speaker 2>in America, like they have a lot of like lolly

0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:48.439
<v Speaker 2>flavors and they have a lot.

0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:50.000
<v Speaker 3>Of like we'd taken that up.

0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:54.119
<v Speaker 2>We took a lot of ideas whereas we feel like

0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:57.640
<v Speaker 2>Australia we're a bit more not like that, like our

0:17:57.680 --> 0:18:03.520
<v Speaker 2>flavor profile is very different lab and yeah, it is

0:18:03.600 --> 0:18:08.600
<v Speaker 2>very interesting. I think. Also Australians are well known for

0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:11.760
<v Speaker 2>the healthy lifestyle. I see tiktoks all the time of

0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:14.880
<v Speaker 2>people internationally being like, oh my god, I just got

0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:17.320
<v Speaker 2>to the Gold Coast let's say specifically the Gold Coast

0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:20.840
<v Speaker 2>and like everyone's up at five am, they're running, they're

0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:24.199
<v Speaker 2>like having a sayah balls, they're having coffees. And we

0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:29.520
<v Speaker 2>are quite well known to be quite a health focused society,

0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:34.480
<v Speaker 2>maybe a bit more than you know, other markets kind

0:18:34.480 --> 0:18:34.760
<v Speaker 2>of thing.

0:18:35.240 --> 0:18:38.880
<v Speaker 3>So when they've got that Australian made symbol on something

0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:42.840
<v Speaker 3>like it just it goes off more interesting. Yeah, so

0:18:43.080 --> 0:18:46.040
<v Speaker 3>if we can bring that to America.

0:18:46.040 --> 0:18:50.240
<v Speaker 2>Like, of course, we're always looking at competitors, you know,

0:18:50.359 --> 0:18:54.720
<v Speaker 2>doing our research. And for instance, when we were making

0:18:54.760 --> 0:19:00.480
<v Speaker 2>our greens we got a very viral famous greens powder

0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:03.920
<v Speaker 2>from social media that was a US brand, and we

0:19:03.960 --> 0:19:06.720
<v Speaker 2>sent it to our manufacturer because the girls would rave

0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:08.879
<v Speaker 2>about it, and we were like, look, we want to

0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:11.840
<v Speaker 2>do a greens powder. This one like tasted really well,

0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:14.600
<v Speaker 2>but we want to include this, this and this, And

0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:18.920
<v Speaker 2>they tested that greens powder and literally were like this

0:19:18.960 --> 0:19:21.840
<v Speaker 2>is literally lollly water, Like it's not going to do

0:19:21.880 --> 0:19:22.880
<v Speaker 2>anything for you, gut help.

0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:24.480
<v Speaker 3>You didn't have a serve of greens.

0:19:25.000 --> 0:19:27.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it didn't have a serve of greens.

0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:29.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:19:29.240 --> 0:19:32.400
<v Speaker 2>We were like so concerned. And I think it's because

0:19:32.520 --> 0:19:35.480
<v Speaker 2>in certain other markets they don't have a lot of testing,

0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:38.399
<v Speaker 2>and it is like a lot of money is thrown

0:19:38.440 --> 0:19:42.639
<v Speaker 2>into marketing, not necessarily the product. And because we believe

0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:46.040
<v Speaker 2>so much in our products and what we bring to

0:19:46.080 --> 0:19:50.520
<v Speaker 2>the table. And again, like our transparency, Like I think

0:19:50.600 --> 0:19:54.240
<v Speaker 2>that's also another thing. It sometimes makes me a bit

0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:58.320
<v Speaker 2>angry knowing that some of the biggest supplement companies in

0:19:58.359 --> 0:20:01.800
<v Speaker 2>the US or Canada or you know what not aren't

0:20:01.840 --> 0:20:05.560
<v Speaker 2>being as transparent, and so it makes me very like

0:20:05.680 --> 0:20:07.520
<v Speaker 2>hungry to be like, well, we need to be over

0:20:07.520 --> 0:20:10.280
<v Speaker 2>there because they need to have an alternative product that

0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:12.480
<v Speaker 2>actually works and is actually good for them.

0:20:12.680 --> 0:20:15.639
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's just mass production really you get into the

0:20:15.640 --> 0:20:19.879
<v Speaker 3>bigger things. But we don't want to veer off of that.

0:20:19.880 --> 0:20:22.640
<v Speaker 3>That's goal of ours because I want to stay true

0:20:22.640 --> 0:20:25.440
<v Speaker 3>to our word, which is quality products.

0:20:25.080 --> 0:20:29.680
<v Speaker 2>Premium products. Lastly, let's probably just chat about like when

0:20:29.840 --> 0:20:34.680
<v Speaker 2>this change will be happening, because obviously we have announced

0:20:34.760 --> 0:20:38.920
<v Speaker 2>you guys know about it, but you will still notice

0:20:39.080 --> 0:20:43.040
<v Speaker 2>if you buy certain products there will still be the

0:20:43.160 --> 0:20:47.080
<v Speaker 2>Naked Harvest on it, while we're also selling products that

0:20:47.119 --> 0:20:50.720
<v Speaker 2>have the new Harvest on it. And this really was

0:20:50.800 --> 0:20:54.960
<v Speaker 2>an internal decision because again one of our key pillars

0:20:55.040 --> 0:20:59.800
<v Speaker 2>is sustainability and being a company that focuses on its

0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:05.040
<v Speaker 2>environmental impact, and so to throw out all the old

0:21:05.080 --> 0:21:10.720
<v Speaker 2>packaging of Naked Harvest would just be so silly and

0:21:10.840 --> 0:21:12.879
<v Speaker 2>such a shit show.

0:21:13.840 --> 0:21:16.800
<v Speaker 3>Really well for us anyway, because then it's a it's

0:21:16.840 --> 0:21:20.400
<v Speaker 3>a slower transition to the newer name anyway, so they

0:21:20.400 --> 0:21:22.680
<v Speaker 3>can still get a bit of Naked Harvest as well

0:21:22.720 --> 0:21:25.600
<v Speaker 3>as New Harvest, and great that we don't get to

0:21:25.720 --> 0:21:27.840
<v Speaker 3>throw out a shitloaded products.

0:21:27.840 --> 0:21:29.800
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, that would just be was it was a

0:21:29.800 --> 0:21:30.359
<v Speaker 2>no brainer.

0:21:30.400 --> 0:21:33.440
<v Speaker 3>It was Yeah, that wasn't even a question. Really absolutely,

0:21:33.840 --> 0:21:34.840
<v Speaker 3>we're just going to sell it.

0:21:35.320 --> 0:21:38.520
<v Speaker 2>And so for example, you still might see the Naked

0:21:38.520 --> 0:21:42.320
<v Speaker 2>Harvest packaging from twelve to eighteen months, because we really

0:21:42.359 --> 0:21:46.040
<v Speaker 2>do plan ahead till eighteen months, like that's how far

0:21:46.080 --> 0:21:50.359
<v Speaker 2>ahead we're buying packaging. So also we'd like, we know

0:21:50.440 --> 0:21:53.160
<v Speaker 2>our community, we know that would never be an issue.

0:21:53.240 --> 0:21:55.320
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, that's kind of like just in case you

0:21:55.320 --> 0:21:58.879
<v Speaker 2>guys were wondering. And of course, like we have the

0:21:58.960 --> 0:22:03.000
<v Speaker 2>same brand, like we love the Naked Harvest branding, So

0:22:03.600 --> 0:22:06.720
<v Speaker 2>it's literally just a name change. It's not like a rebrand,

0:22:07.280 --> 0:22:10.000
<v Speaker 2>not a rebrand. And it is really exciting because obviously

0:22:10.000 --> 0:22:12.280
<v Speaker 2>our whole prank of like saying we were going to

0:22:12.359 --> 0:22:15.199
<v Speaker 2>the States with the whole team. It's like, hopefully in

0:22:15.240 --> 0:22:17.320
<v Speaker 2>the future we can do that.

0:22:17.840 --> 0:22:20.200
<v Speaker 3>Because that was depressing, so.

0:22:20.280 --> 0:22:22.480
<v Speaker 2>Depressing going to their pot and being like all right,

0:22:23.000 --> 0:22:25.320
<v Speaker 2>and the team was so excited to go in the

0:22:25.400 --> 0:22:30.080
<v Speaker 2>hummer and stuff. I know, that was so funny. So yeah,

0:22:30.119 --> 0:22:34.240
<v Speaker 2>obviously exciting changes, exciting expansion, and we just want to

0:22:34.280 --> 0:22:38.240
<v Speaker 2>say how much we appreciate you coming on the ride,

0:22:38.840 --> 0:22:43.119
<v Speaker 2>being the best community, letting us change and evolve. I

0:22:43.200 --> 0:22:46.280
<v Speaker 2>think that's the biggest thing too, is you know, even

0:22:46.280 --> 0:22:48.159
<v Speaker 2>the work we do in Rise and Conquer, one of

0:22:48.200 --> 0:22:52.200
<v Speaker 2>our biggest values is evolution, and so this is one

0:22:52.200 --> 0:22:56.800
<v Speaker 2>of Naked Harvest's evolution. Literally you're seeing it as we

0:22:56.840 --> 0:22:59.080
<v Speaker 2>do it, which is really cool. And I hope we

0:22:59.119 --> 0:23:00.960
<v Speaker 2>can kind of like look can be like, oh my gosh,

0:23:01.040 --> 0:23:03.520
<v Speaker 2>remember we used to be naked of us. A new

0:23:03.520 --> 0:23:08.960
<v Speaker 2>Harvest is just like so well known, so expansive, very exciting.

0:23:09.400 --> 0:23:13.080
<v Speaker 2>Any last words, have feelings vibes.

0:23:13.560 --> 0:23:16.760
<v Speaker 3>Not just pumped pumped, just pumped for the vision.

0:23:17.160 --> 0:23:19.920
<v Speaker 2>Yes, and also I do want to put a caveat

0:23:19.960 --> 0:23:23.840
<v Speaker 2>in there. It's not like we are now focusing all

0:23:23.880 --> 0:23:28.880
<v Speaker 2>our efforts and resources into like international markets. It's not

0:23:28.920 --> 0:23:31.760
<v Speaker 2>like that at all. It's we just we don't want

0:23:31.800 --> 0:23:35.399
<v Speaker 2>to get in trouble. I think having my law background too,

0:23:35.480 --> 0:23:38.040
<v Speaker 2>we're very prominent of We just want to make sure

0:23:38.040 --> 0:23:41.200
<v Speaker 2>we're doing all the right things at the right times,

0:23:41.400 --> 0:23:46.560
<v Speaker 2>especially being a brand that sometimes feel we have the

0:23:46.600 --> 0:23:51.480
<v Speaker 2>microscope on us because of my background, you know, Yeah,

0:23:51.480 --> 0:23:54.400
<v Speaker 2>we always do my profile.

0:23:55.320 --> 0:23:55.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:23:55.640 --> 0:23:59.440
<v Speaker 2>So we just are very conscious and so even for instance,

0:23:59.520 --> 0:24:02.240
<v Speaker 2>like I'm about to go on to maternity leave, So

0:24:02.800 --> 0:24:07.000
<v Speaker 2>there's not even really any huge plans with international markets.

0:24:07.080 --> 0:24:11.080
<v Speaker 2>It's just us being super conscious and safe and doing

0:24:11.240 --> 0:24:15.600
<v Speaker 2>this before it's ever a problem. All right, my loves.

0:24:15.640 --> 0:24:17.880
