Speaker 1: social media personality with a community of over three hundred thousand.

10
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: I grew up believing I had to pursue this safe

11
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: option and fit into a mold others had created for me.

12
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: But then I entered my corporate law job and I

13
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: realized that settling for a reality that did I didn't

14
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: set my soul on fire, was something I was not

15
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,520

23
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: welcome to another episode of the Rising Conquer podcast. Today,

24
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: I've got a solo episode for you, and I'm going

25
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: through summer of my best business tips at Naked Harvest,

26
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: my all natural supplement company that I co founded with

27
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: my brother Cooper. My little baby turned one last week,

28
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: and honestly, it's like, it's so surreal to think that

29
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm in two minds because there's part

30
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: of me who's like, oh my god, it it literally

31
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: feels like five years because I guess before the one

32
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: year mark before we launched it was a good year

33
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 1: in the making. It definitely feels longer than a year.

34
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: And also just because I'm in it all the time,

35
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: it feels like I don't remember what I did before this,

36
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: if that makes sense. But then a part of me too,

37
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, this year has gone so fuss,

38
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: so crazy. But yeah, I am just super proud at

39
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: Naked Harvest, you know, came from a pain point that

40
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: I had personally in that Cooper had, and it is

41
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: a family owned business. We built it up from completely nothing.

42
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: We have a team of people, but it's not like,

43
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: you know, we had other help from like a big

44
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: business or anything like that. And I don't know, Yeah,

45
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 1: I'm just super proud we built such an amazing community

46
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: that I am just obsessive. Like I was talking to

47
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: someone the other day and I said, you know, when

48
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: I was like leaving my corporate job without too much

49
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: of a plan, which is the story I've told numerous times,

50
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: and I just like I knew at this moment, I

51
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: wasn't meant to be a lawyer, and I wasn't meant

52
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 1: to be working at that firm, and I just knew

53
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: there was something else out there. I was destined, if

54
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: you want to call it that, for something else, and

55
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 1: I needed some space to find out what that was.

56
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: And that's what I did. I really took this to

57
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: like huge risk and kind of had no idea what

58
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: was going to happen or if it was going to

59
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: pay off or anything like that. And then what I'm

60
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: currently doing now, especially with Naked Harvest and this podcast

61
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: and everything like it, it just feels like I'm in

62
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: the right place doing the right thing with the right people,

63
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: with the right community, like helping the right people like

64
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: it all just feels very divine and very right, if

65
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: that makes sense. I don't know if I'm just talking

66
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: a bit crazy. Yeah, so I don't know. It feels

67
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: really surreal. Couldn't be proud of the team and myself

68
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: and yeah, so anyway, I wanted to dedicate this episode

69
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: and just go through a couple of tips for that

70
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: person who is either thinking of starting their own business,

71
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: which I cannot recommend enough, being my own boss and

72
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 1: having the autonomy to decide how a company runs and

73
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: to make the decisions and you know, foster a team

74
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: and all that sort of thing has like been one

75
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: of the most rewarding things I have ever experienced in

76
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: my life. And also this episode would be for someone

77
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: who is already currently in business, you know, at the start,

78
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: who's just looking for some refresher tips maybe they need

79
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: to realign or shift or anything like that. So I

80
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: didn't want to plan this episode too much because I

81
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: really couldn't. Wanted to just like flow and chat to

82
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: you guys and it be super organic. I find those

83
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 1: are my best episodes. So I'm sorry if it's like

84
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: not in like a complete order that makes sense. I

85
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: just want to pump this out, tell you guys exactly

86
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: what's on my heart, and yeah, go from there. But

87
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: you know it's gonna be good. Okay, let's get into it.

88
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: So this is like the biggest lessons and tips that

89
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 1: I've learned in my first year of business. Okay, So

90
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: let's go back to the very start. And I think

91
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: that why Naked Harvest has been quite successful is because

92
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: it started from a personal pain point and a gap

93
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: in the market that me and Cooper saw. So and

94
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: H was born because I was taking a certain supplement.

95
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: I've said, we're going to name names or anything, just

96
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: I shouldn't. I don't think legally I can. But I

97
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 1: was taking a supplement. This was obviously years and years

98
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: and years ago. And basically what happened is I was

99
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: taking this supplement. It was amazing, It was so bloody tasty,

100
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: it was vegan, all those sorts of things, and I

101
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: was putting it on my YouTube and Instagram and all

102
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: that stuff stuff, And basically I found out through the

103
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: grapevine through another company who tested it, and basically what

104
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 1: they were saying on the label was not correct. And

105
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: even though it said all natural, it wasn't all natural.

106
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: And they even found traces of dairy in it even

107
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 1: though it was vegan, which is just outrageous anyway, So

108
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: I like obviously stopped taking that supplement. I deleted as

109
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: much content as I could, and I also got my

110
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: stories and just said, you know, explained why I wasn't

111
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: taking anymore. I lost my contract with that you know supplement.

112
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 1: Obviously that was fine with me. And basically I was

113
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: on the phone talking to Cooper because he was working

114
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: as a plumber in Brisbane and lived at the Gold Coaster.

115
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: It's a bit of an hour commute every single day,

116
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: and we which had on the phone, and I was

117
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: like complaining about how this had happened and I couldn't

118
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 1: believe it had happened, and blah blah blah. A long

119
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 1: time after that happened, we basically decided to create our

120
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 1: own supplements because we just could not believe that a

121
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: company would put a label on something, can not disclose it,

122
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: and all that sort of thing, and we just thought

123
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: it can't be that hard, Like, we know there's good

124
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: ingredients out there, we know there's supplements that work, and

125
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: I can really be amazing when you know you're doing

126
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: well with your diet and working out and all that

127
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: sort of thing to complement it. And so we saw

128
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: a gap in the market. We saw there wasn't many

129
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: all natural supplement companies, and especially like not kind of

130
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: marketed to my sort of demographic. I found that like

131
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: more natural supplement companies, they were almost a bit like hippie,

132
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: if that makes sense. And also they tasted super gross,

133
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: like almost like dirt. Like vegan protein is very hard

134
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:54,239
Speaker 1: to make yummy, we'll tell you that. Anyway, long story short,

135
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: we found a gap in the market. And hen H

136
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: was born from a personal problem. And so I want

137
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: you to really think about, like with this idea, with

138
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: this business idea, and this is more for someone if

139
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: you haven't already established this, but how is this product

140
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: or offer different? How are you helping a customer that's

141
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: already not on the market, or if it's already on

142
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: the market, how can you market it? So you are different,

143
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: so you're you've got a certain pain point you're hitting,

144
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: And also you want to be thinking about stuff like

145
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: how does this person see transformation from your product? Like

146
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: we did a lot of testing on our pre Workout,

147
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: which was our first product, and we felt the effects

148
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,199
Speaker 1: ourselves and we knew that everyone else would. And that's

149
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: a big thing about just like doing market research, finding

150
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 1: a gap in the market and seeing where you can

151
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: help someone where it's not currently being helped. The next

152
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: tip I have is to be scrappy when you have to,

153
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: but also to know when to outsource higher. So when

154
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 1: I say be scrappy, like at the start of Naked Harvest,

155
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: we Naked Harvest was fully funded by all me and

156
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: Cooper's own funds. We did not get alone or anything

157
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: like that. He has a family, I've got, you know,

158
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: two mortgages, so it's not like we had heaps of

159
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: money to just like throw at this business and see

160
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,319
Speaker 1: what happened. It was actually like we ended up adding

161
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: up and it was quite a big investment at the start,

162
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: but that was over time. And so a big thing

163
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,079
Speaker 1: about a business, especially a small business, is like be

164
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 1: scrappy where you can. So if you can't afford it,

165
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: don't go out and get the most extravagant, crazy website

166
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: that costs like fifty grand or something like that. Try

167
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: and do the website yourself first, or you know, there's

168
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 1: just like little aspects that you can try and do yourself.

169
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: Or maybe you know a friend like my cousin, she's

170
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: a graphic design and she does all of and hate

171
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: stuff and she actually works for us like full time now,

172
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 1: but before for that, she was just a UNI student

173
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: and we just got to do some work and she

174
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: was obviously like a cheaper rate than a normal graphic designer,

175
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: and just little things like that. And then even now

176
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: still like I edit a lot of the Naked Harvest video,

177
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: So any content on nhhfit or IGTVS or anything like

178
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: that because I have, you know, some sort of editing skills,

179
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: I do that instead of hiring someone. So we're always

180
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: kind of looking where we can do it ourselves first

181
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: before hiring. But in saying that, a big reason why

182
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: and H grew so much this year and was quite

183
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: successful was we knew when to find people and to

184
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: outsource because you just you can't yourself, Like you just

185
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: can't do that much. So you're better off knowing your

186
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,599
Speaker 1: strengths doing that amazing and then outsourcing the rest of

187
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: your work. So we started with just Memel and Cooper

188
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: and then we got you know, Megan, our graphic designer,

189
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: and then we got Jay who's our PR manager and

190
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: she helps with like, you know, any social media stuff

191
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: we do. And we also have a full time customer

192
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: care manager, Court, So we've definitely hired out. And this

193
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: was not all at once. It was kind of like

194
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: over time, and we always hire people part time first

195
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: to trial them out, and then they usually go full time.

196
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: But a big thing for me even now, I'm realizing

197
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: that I'm getting to a point where I'm tapped out

198
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: and I don't have any space to like think of

199
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: new ideas and progress and like progress and hate sorry

200
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 1: because I feel very tapped out. So I'm kind of

201
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 1: going through a new season where we will have to

202
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: look for more people to hire within en hate. We

203
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 1: definitely need someone like to help with the video editing

204
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: because guy's bloody killing me. But basically, you will kind

205
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: of realize when it's coming time to hire someone, and

206
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: we always kind of hire people before we're ready because

207
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 1: I just have so much trust that once you kind

208
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: of take a risk hire someone, contract out, outsource, you

209
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: kind of up level because you have no choice. And

210
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 1: me and Cooper have been doing this like literally the

211
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 1: whole year basically, like winging things, trusting and then it

212
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:25,239
Speaker 1: like works out. So I cannot recommend that enough a bit. Definitely,

213
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: what you need to realize is you don't want to

214
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: just be doing everything and then burn out and then

215
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: as you know, the business owner, as the CEO, as

216
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 1: the visionary of the business, then have no time to

217
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 1: keep the business moving forward because you're doing all the

218
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: little parts as That's definitely a big, big tip. The

219
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: next thing is realize that, like you need to be

220
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 1: constantly learning. Now, I go through seasons. So I'll go

221
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:57,079
Speaker 1: through a season where all I'm doing is absorbing podcasts

222
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: and books and audio books, and I'm do some sort

223
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: of coaching or online course and I'm really like topping

224
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:11,959
Speaker 1: up my knowledge jar paw technology and just like absorbing

225
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: more information. And then I'm going through season where I

226
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: kind of stop that and I'm integrating. So I kind

227
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: of can't be doing both at once. I need to

228
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: be doing one or the other. But that is how

229
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: I work. I don't know about you guys, but constantly learning,

230
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 1: so like, there are so many free resources out there.

231
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: The amount of business podcasts that I have listened to

232
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 1: is outrageous. Anytime I'm cleaning or walking or basically have

233
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: any spare time, I'm either listening to a podcast or

234
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 1: an audio book, basically expanding my mind in some way.

235
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: And I guarantee you if there's someone something in your

236
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 1: business that you are having doubts around you don't know

237
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 1: how to do, there is some sort of free resource

238
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 1: that is going to help you or point you in

239
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: the direction. So definitely, guys like make sure you are

240
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 1: constantly learning. There's always more to be learning, and like

241
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: be very choosy about who you learn from, because I

242
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: find like the people that I learn from, I've got

243
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: to resonate with them for it to really sink in.

244
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: And also they need to be living the life I

245
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: want to live, if that makes sense. So just like

246
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: a really quick example, like I don't mind Gary Vee's content,

247
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: like he has pretty amazing content and I love his

248
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: quick messages on Insta and stuff, but sometimes I just

249
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: don't resonate with him because he is very like hustle

250
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: and go and he's very abrupt. Whereas you know, I

251
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: much more prefer a female entrepreneur who is like living

252
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: the lifestyle I want in regards to be a bit

253
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: more balance and less hustle and talking about fem energy

254
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: and you know, law of attraction and that sort of thing,

255
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: so kind of I guess that point is just like,

256
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: find the people who resonate with you, who like is

257
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: living a life life either similar to you or what

258
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: you want to be living, and get your information from then,

259
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: so be very clear about who you're getting your information

260
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: from and be constantly learning. Next point, make sure you're

261
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: being seen by the right people. So you need to

262
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: know who your customer is. Guys, you need to know

263
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: who your customer is and where they hang out. Obviously

264
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: because Naked Harvest came from my pain point and so

265
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: then it is my demographic and I'm really like the

266
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: ideal client client. It's quite easy for me, but you

267
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: really need to know, like who is your ideal client,

268
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: Like what is your client avatar? Who are they? How

269
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: old are they, what shops do they shop at? Where

270
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: do they hang out online? What sort of competitors are

271
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: they looking at? What platforms are they on? So, as

272
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: you guys know, we're Naked Harvest is a big social

273
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: media business because that's where our demographic is. So we

274
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: go quite hard on We have influences, we have Facebook ads,

275
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: we have email marketing and we kind of make sure

276
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: all are messaging is very ideal for you know, our client,

277
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: which is very much me or someone like me. And

278
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 1: so I think a lot of businesses can kind of

279
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: be unclear and almost market to everyone. But really you're

280
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: not marketing to everyone. You're not trying to please everyone.

281
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: You're not trying to be seen by everyone. You're trying

282
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: to be seen by a specific person. And when you

283
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: really zero in, you know who that person is, you

284
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: know where they are. It's like it's so easy to

285
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: sell because if you have an amazing product, if you

286
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: know where they are, if you know what that pain

287
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: point is, it's almost like no brainer for them and

288
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: they just you know, get the offer or the product.

289
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: Another big thing is communicating your offer and putting yourself

290
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: in their shoes. So that really ties into the point

291
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: that I just said. But know your customer, know the

292
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: pain points, know how to communicate and talk to them.

293
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: So like all our social media copy is done by

294
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: either me or mel or Megan, and we are all

295
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: within the age demographic of our ideal customer, Like we

296
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: know how I would want to be spoken to, we

297
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: know what sort of things the customer avatar cares about

298
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: and how to sort of talk to them. And that's

299
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 1: a big thing. Like when you are hiring to try

300
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 1: and think of what is that person doing. Do they

301
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 1: know the customer, do they know how to talk to them?

302
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: Do they you know? Basically, can you be in your

303
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: customer's shoes? If that makes sense. So a big thing

304
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: is knowing your customer knowing how to talk to them.

305
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: This episode is brought to you by Naked Harvest Supplements.

306
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 1: I'm sure most of you know who Naked Harvest is,

307
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: but if you are new here, Naked Harvest is the

308
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: all natural supplement company I co founded with my brother.

309
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: Naked Harvest started because I personally had a really bad

310
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,400
Speaker 1: experience where I found out supplement that I was taking

311
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: had ingredients that were not disclosed on the label, and

312
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 1: even though it said it was natural, it wasn't. As

313
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,199
Speaker 1: someone who is so conscious about what I put in

314
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 1: my body because of previous health issues, this made me

315
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 1: so upset. So I teamed up with my big brother, Cooper,

316
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: who is also very health conscious. He is gluten free

317
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: and dairy intolerant, and we built from the ground up

318
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 1: a company that really cares about what we put in

319
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: our supplements and also we've stripped it back to only

320
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: have the most necessary and best ingredients. I know we

321
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 1: are all going through a hard time right now with

322
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 1: everything happening in the world, and that's why NH really

323
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 1: wants to support you. We have planned live community workouts,

324
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,439
Speaker 1: more healthy recipes to our blog, and we will be

325
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 1: continuously adding more content to our NH Fit community page

326
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 1: just so we can really support the n hage gang. Also,

327
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,719
Speaker 1: I just wanted to say we really appreciate your support

328
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,520

00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 1: Naked Harvest Supplements. All right, guys, let's get straight back

334
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: into the episode. Okay, So the next big thing is

335
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 1: think outside of the box, guys and just go for it.

336
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,919
Speaker 1: Like I don't know, I personally like Naked Harvest. I

337
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: did not want it to just be a carbon copy

338
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: of another supplement brand that's doing all the same things,

339
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: that looks the same for us, it's really about making

340
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 1: naked harvest our own thinking outside of the box, really thinking,

341
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 1: you know, what would we want to see in a business,

342
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 1: what would we want to see in products, and trying

343
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: to do it a little bit differently. A big thing

344
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: also is like you want your company to reflect your values,

345
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,239
Speaker 1: how you want to do things, and usually you have

346
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: like a certain flare or the way that you like

347
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,679
Speaker 1: to do things, which is very easy to reflect that.

348
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: And a big thing me and Mel talk about all

349
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 1: the time is, you know, like burning the rule book,

350
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: like because Mel as she went to university for I

351
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: think it's pr and communications or something like that. I

352
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 1: don't know, I'm probably butchering it. But basically, there was

353
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 1: quite a few times when we were first beginning where

354
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 1: Mel would kind of have the way of like She's like, no,

355
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: this is the way you know, things are supposed to go,

356
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 1: because that's how she got taught in UNI. And I

357
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: would often be like, Mel, I don't want to do

358
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,199
Speaker 1: it the way you know. I don't want to do

359
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,640
Speaker 1: it the way we're supposed to do it. I want

360
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 1: to do it in a way that feels good to

361
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,479
Speaker 1: me and feels good to the customer. And so I

362
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 1: think we have gotten a lot of organic sort of

363
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: success because we very much think outside the box. We

364
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 1: do it in a way that it's like how would

365
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: I like things to be done or how would I

366
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 1: like to be seen? If that makes sense. And like

367
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: a good example is like recently we launched our new

368
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: Thrive protein flavor, which is strawberries and cream. It's bloody

369
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: delicious and we it's COVID nineteen, so we're all in ISO.

370
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: Usually for a launch, we do like a you know,

371
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: we get a photographer and we do photos or some

372
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: sort of video campaign. But we couldn't do that, and

373
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: so we did just a live reveal where we literally

374
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 1: got a balloon like a gender reveal in the warehouse,

375
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 1: popped it, went on live, did a competition and all

376
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: that sort of thing, and it was like it was

377
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 1: so simple, but no one had done it. It was

378
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: a bit of fun, it was outside of the box,

379
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: and we got heaps of engagement and traction from that.

380
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 1: So that it's a big thing for us and something

381
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: I constantly remind myself and mel and like our team

382
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: is like, we don't have to do it the way

383
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 1: everyone else is doing it, because usually there's like a better, funner,

384
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: easier way to do things. The next thing is to

385
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: make sure and this is kind of like a non

386
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: fun step bit and we had a huge realization with

387
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 1: this about midyear, but make sure you're being super conscious

388
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: about money in and money out. What's your cash flow

389
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 1: like obviously to be in a business. So the next

390
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: step is it's a bloody bit boring, but it is

391
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: so necessary. And we had a huge kind of realization

392
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 1: of this around midyear, And it's just about being super

393
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: conscious about the money in and the money out. And

394
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: even if you are making a bit of money, don't

395
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 1: just think you can glow and like blow and spend

396
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 1: a lot of money. You still need to be quite

397
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: conscious of even like the little things like check your subscriptions,

398
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 1: like a big thing for me, as I subscribe to things,

399
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,120
Speaker 1: I forget about it, I never use it, and then

400
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: like I'm paying for it every single month or year,

401
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: And just stuff like make sure you're going through your books.

402
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: Make sure like even if you do you have an

403
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: accountant or a bookkeeper or something like that, just make

404
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 1: sure you're kind of checking over things. When we started

405
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 1: Naked Harvest, we we just just we didn't really have

406
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 1: like a hand on the pulse in regards to that

407
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 1: sort of stuff, just because it's like it's not very fun,

408
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,199
Speaker 1: is it. Like I just didn't really think about it

409
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 1: too much. And then we really kind of looked in

410
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: the books and got down to business, and we realized

411
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 1: that we were kind of spending a bit of too

412
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: much money in places that just was not necessary. Like

413
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: a great example is like it was something ridiculous, like

414
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 1: we spent seven thousand on like uber eats or something

415
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 1: like that, And it was any time that we had

416
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: a team meaning and we would buy the team lunch.

417
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,199
Speaker 1: And so you know, at the time, you're just like,

418
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: you try to be nice, you try to do the

419
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 1: team morale thing and that sort of thing. But then

420
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: when you look at it, and at that point too,

421
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: I wasn't even taking any money out of the company,

422
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,199
Speaker 1: Like I couldn't even afford to pay myself yet, and

423
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,959
Speaker 1: then we were spending that sort of money on team lunches.

424
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: It was like, WHOA, you need to step back. You

425
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: need to be a bit tighter and make sure you're

426
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 1: being super smart with the money going in and out. Yeah,

427
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 1: so don't be silly with your money. Making sure you're

428
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 1: having a look at the money going in and out

429
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 1: and being super conscious about that. And I guess that's

430
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,439
Speaker 1: just the whole thing of just having your pulse on

431
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: the different aspects, each different aspects of the business is

432
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:29,679
Speaker 1: super important. And then like my last overall thing is

433
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 1: just realize you need to be constantly working on your

434
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: either business or setting side of time and just making

435
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: it happen. So when we first started, before we launched,

436
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: like first started with the very beginning, we basically set

437
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,679
Speaker 1: a time every single I think it was Wednesday afternoon,

438
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,640
Speaker 1: Cooper would finish early, me and Mel would finish early

439
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 1: from whatever we're doing. He would come over and we

440
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: would have this meaning where we would plan out stuff

441
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 1: and so every single week we would do this and

442
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: it was just like slowly tipping away and eventually, you know,

443
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 1: we got it happening and we launched, and something we

444
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: realized even now, like when we're in business, sometimes you

445
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: can just get so stuck in like the everyday task.

446
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying like you're not constantly working in

447
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: your business. You are, but I'm saying you need to

448
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 1: constantly be putting time away, whether it is weekly or fortnightly,

449
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 1: where you sit with your team or yourself and just go, hey,

450
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: are things tracking the way we thought they were tracking,

451
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 1: Are we at where we thought we'd be with our goals?

452
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,479
Speaker 1: And just checking in because sometimes we can, yeah, just

453
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:44,199
Speaker 1: get super stuck in their everyday sort of jobs and

454
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: not really see the overall thing. And a big thing

455
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 1: about owning a business is you have to wear multiple hats.

456
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 1: You have to constantly be in many different spots, and

457
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 1: when we're doing that, we can often forget about the

458
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: most important role, which is being the visionary of the

459
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: company and making sure you know all the messaging and

460
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 1: everything and making sure we're tracking where we want to

461
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 1: be and all that sort of stuff. So a big

462
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: thing is just to be super consistent with checking in

463
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 1: on your business and making sure you're on track or

464
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: if things need to shift, if you need to realign,

465
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: if that makes sense. So those are probably like my

466
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: biggest tips with the first year of business. I have

467
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: learned so much and grown so much and still have

468
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 1: so much to learn. I'm not gonna lie like, I

469
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 1: kind of feel like we're winging it a lot of

470
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,400
Speaker 1: the time, but then like we have such we've had

471
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 1: such amazing results and I'm super proud of everything, so

472
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: like we must be doing something right. But if you're

473
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: kind of feeling the same in your business, or you

474
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 1: want to start a business, and it all just seems

475
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,439
Speaker 1: a bit crazy, you never kind of feel ready, You

476
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 1: never kind of feel as serious as you think you would,

477
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 1: if that makes sense. So I just really want to

478
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: let you guys know that and give you sort of

479
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: validation that, like starting my business, starting my own thing

480
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: is like the best thing that I have ever done.

481
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: Cannot recommend it enough to anyone out there who wants

482
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: to do something like that. It is so much work,

483
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 1: like I have probably worked most weekends of this year,

484
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: first year in business, but I would not trade it

485
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: for anything. It is the most rewarding thing ever. But

486
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: thank you so much for listening. I hope this was

487
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:36,240
