0:05

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

7:36

7:43

real mature ambitious and your

7:45

7:47

7:50

the new the you're not struggling with it you just

7:52

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
