0:07
bit contact first to my brother and i and operate, a
0:10
manufacturing company in new orleans called
0:13
boil boss currently we have
0:15
to nice consumer products are
0:17
very specific the boiling seafood
0:19
so they help with the boiling says that they ask
0:21
like think like a cross has yeah i get
0:23
it i know that called him yeah exactly so
0:26
in about a month or two are going to hope we have our third product
0:28
on the market which really excited about my brothers and
0:30
working super hard and that product
0:32
development the answer my
0:34
question we have a small team right i'll just repeat
0:37
the on what i'm focused on now is building
0:39
out the systems and processes and
0:41
generally just trying to get organized
0:44
better cope with the anticipated volume
0:46
obviously as you know there's a time the goes
0:48
on behind the scenes to get a product
0:51
out the door it's like i did not
0:53
appreciated until i started this about a year
0:55
now was raw stuff yeah it's real
0:57
stuff and it's it's been a challenge but that's
0:59
something i've been impressed with his your ability
1:01
to go and actually eschewed the operations
1:03
yamanaka you know it's so funny like when everyone's
1:05
like
1:06
the motivations bigger a that employers are is
1:08
like
1:08
motherfucker on an operator yeah watch
1:11
know that i'm i'm honestly that's always
1:13
like when i'm when i was your bike as and like i wish
1:15
there was more conversations about behind
1:17
the scenes operations in all take also
1:19
noted that my friend i will really i
1:22
really think you're right and i think i need
1:24
to u t does it a little bit later
1:27
you know i talk a lot about it from the each
1:29
our side right twelve and a half is really gone
1:31
there you are but it is
1:33
you know and you know this
1:35
finding a way to communicate operations and content
1:37
is challenging it is mediums and
1:39
decisions meetings and decisions
1:41
the i'm living on trial
1:43
yeah like like i'm a lot of
1:45
times like it's like you know but it's it's just meetings
1:47
and descend decisions it's like
1:49
do we open another office yes no
1:51
do we innovate a new
1:53
division yes no do we
1:57
put more
1:57
you to analytics or strategy
1:59
depart
1:59
you know like there's a lot of that
2:01
yeah and so i so i guess
2:03
just to get to that to the ask questions out i
2:05
was hoping you could talk a little bit more about your
2:07
experience tactically in the early days
2:10
with building our processes delegating
2:12
work on and generally just being
2:14
able to free yourself and set your employees
2:16
up for success because i think that's the part
2:18
where we're sort of well you're not
2:20
there yet yeah
2:22
like you know when when vain
2:23
media with less than fifteen people for
2:26
the first two years
2:26
i didn't have to think about that shit
2:29
i did get everything
2:31
yeah we're lucky delegating to you've got three
2:34
of you right yeah
2:36
well so i get i guess which are
2:38
you more talking about maximizing
2:40
the efficiency of your time winners
2:43
only three of you i think that's more
2:45
of way at that is what we're actually manufacturing
2:48
all the products like right now i did hire
2:50
somebody said you area who's been awesome and he's
2:52
helping with production of one of the project i'm i'm
2:55
doing all of production on the other products on
2:57
and so it's really maximize efficiency
3:00
and as we are our goal is the scale
3:03
via coming up with totally new to world products
3:05
we have patents on our current products but we
3:07
need to keep pumping out new products
3:10
you want to yeah we want to why
3:14
we love the you know trees with like out the
3:16
we love the process of inventing great
3:18
coming out with stuff
3:20
good i mean one thing that i
3:22
like opening businesses i like doing
3:24
one hundred things one thing you have
3:26
to do mentally is understood the and
3:28
that it that's what you love
3:30
you will drop the ball
3:33
you're gonna than seventeen things
3:35
well things are the fuck
3:39
and as long as you understand that no
3:41
actually not rest
3:44
on things that don't matter i
3:46
am a
3:48
the racists entrepreneur
3:51
and have a voracious
3:53
need to open up companies
3:56
hi up to then also understand that vein
3:59
or lives
3:59
they are sampling and many
4:02
other vendors and nobody hears about here failed
4:05
because when you're doing thirty
4:07
nine things that's what's gonna happen those divisions
4:09
failed with within been or media
4:12
right i try to be smothered her stuff before
4:14
then finally social work
4:17
that
4:18
you know somebody says focus on one product for
4:20
susan
4:21
that was for her
4:22
that's that's good for susan
4:25
that's not good for you and your brother and you
4:27
shouldn't
4:28
because you know that you and i end up
4:30
adding i know this because you said
4:33
just now in a way that landed for
4:35
me
4:35
you know
4:37
we just enjoy the process of inventing
4:40
and i think people don't understand
4:42
what we should all be doing out here is
4:44
enjoying it
4:46
more so than maximizing every dollar
4:49
there are people
4:50
love their business at three million a year
4:53
and then
4:53
think they need to grow
4:55
go to four million but they have a higher
4:58
this and the attitude if and now they hate
5:00
it i'm i want
5:02
you to stay at three the fuck him happy as fuck
5:05
yeah i don't think everything i'm
5:07
doing is always gonna be the best
5:09
money maker or said that
5:12
in the short term but if if
5:14
live my truth and continue to innovate
5:16
every day then i'm
5:19
not going to be happy and then none
5:20
the businesses are gonna work vino
5:23
media is successful because
5:25
i do to gary be venal media successful
5:28
because i do help my dad with his wife stuff
5:30
vain or media successful could
5:32
the friend because i need everything
5:36
the make me happy thus the things
5:38
that have clicked will work too
5:42
many people for you
5:44
it hard to prioritize because you're fucking inventing
5:46
so many products
5:48
the good thing is you're actually winning because
5:51
you wonder say that you guys love the process of
5:53
inventing and those susan is right
5:55
for herself and many others and really
5:57
even logically
5:59
right
6:00
yeah she's not right for you to
6:02
you too would rather enjoy
6:05
and your sodium young that
6:07
you should only do the things that
6:09
actually bring you the most happiness
6:13
that will actually make you when
6:15
it's okay on paper that it doesn't work for
6:17
others reason bustle been just said the subject
6:19
when media is a massive common problem
6:22
that most people have a dissect
6:24
the way i'm talking about it right now or
6:26
and you know i don't want to keep going to want
6:28
when they gotta go this is not this is the i want to stay
6:30
here to cement with yeah i think this will help
6:32
people to because on i don't think we really
6:35
struggle with the with
6:37
you know not judging ourselves on dropping balls
6:40
yeah i think when you talk about starting manufacturing
6:42
company when you when you do come up with a product
6:45
and you buy all that you have all the overhead a machines
6:47
and image were like you know you
6:49
gotta see that went through right you how
6:51
you have yeah you have to see that through and you
6:53
have to create in my opinion systems
6:56
and processes to to hopefully
6:59
wow that runs even want to the next
7:01
one and so i think that's where we struggled
7:03
to like get up to remind you you you
7:05
haven't struggled you companies to young
7:07
yeah you're creating an ideology
7:09
of like we should be here how long as the company
7:12
been interesting since three years
7:14
it's five min you know that's five seconds riot
7:16
or it's a doesn't feel like you're but i know yeah
7:18
five seconds like you've any
7:20
wants to products yes we have
7:22
to products that right now and then i will
7:24
i was coming and your profitable yeah
7:28
yeah you understand how for
7:30
only that but yeah fuck hardly you
7:32
to go to business or out of this is a three
7:34
years
7:35
i'm hardly is
7:36
you're not fucking profitable
7:40
yeah no you're right you're i like like cool
7:42
i'm i'm very
7:43
real mature ambitious and your
7:45
your need like if we all want
7:47
to be better and do better but
7:50
the new the you're not struggling with it you just
7:52
haven't gotten to
7:54
yeah
7:56
the haven't gotten to it you're not struggling
7:58
with it you fucking a bit you will too
8:00
many things you like successfully
8:02
entrepreneur and
8:04
the i will
8:06
like a i'll i'll i'll give credit to my brother because
8:08
he he really started this thing i'm
8:10
from the ground up and i think
8:12
our success since i graduated last year i
8:14
joined and and now expanding a how
8:16
can we continue to grow and scale
8:19
and and free up more our time to can i
8:21
get can it can i give you a huge piece of advice
8:23
the
8:24
never fab ever
8:29
to money
8:31
for your own pride and ego
8:33
over your brother
8:37
you are gov to go through
8:39
a thing where you know money is
8:41
binary some people just love it so
8:44
much that they're willing to part the relationship
8:46
with their family
8:46
and that's very challenging it's
8:49
founded in a lot of and security but it is what it is
8:51
like it's kind of easy one the
8:53
second one is harder
8:55
the need to say bro i did that you
8:57
did this this kind of like feeling
9:00
of competitive spirit of like know
9:02
i impacts your bro you came
9:04
up with the mentioned but that marketing campaign i get
9:06
on six o'clock and that's life and
9:09
the have the humility
9:11
the reason i successfully worked with my dad and
9:13
my brother was it was
9:15
the humility for me
9:17
at the end the day as much as i was like on the guy
9:19
visited in it wouldn't really
9:21
of the undead matter
9:23
that was not choosing my own
9:25
feelings
9:26
the need of like validation
9:28
and money never at the end of the day
9:31
certain little riffs but in real life
9:33
never choosing that over
9:36
the love of my brother dad
9:38
is the greatest single
9:40
business, accomplishment of of my life
9:43
and it's not even close
9:47
i appreciate staying at a really young
9:51
you're hungry or vicious do it your
9:53
disability, the best years of your life, you
9:55
were going to these days more anything
9:59
can go
9:59
that will really fast if you
10:02
do not
10:03
the point that humility and
10:05
choose it because you love your brother
