    Talking to corporate types and good salesmen makes we want to take a shower. They're like politicians. So slimy. I miss my eastern European friends in college. They didn't trust anyone who engaged in small talk or was overly nice. They were so straightforward. It was amazing.

    I hear drug lords also don't like using their own product.

    @ZCP Was kind enough to reach out and setup a meeting to help me out and I really appreciate it. Particularly, he helped resolve a mental block I had around leveraging employees properly. Basically, I need to get out of their way. Thanks Zane!

    Some serious needle moving progress: 1. Revamped our hole punch ads and now they've added 15% to total revenue. We only have half the size variations. We were supposed to launch the smaller sizes which are just as popular this week, but my engineer is out for the whole week. QC for this product...

    Unfortunately, now I associate @MitchC with certain things. I don't think I'd be able to look him in the eyes.

    We do Google ads, they work well but are limited in ability to scale for our current line. But yes I agree, we've been laser focusing on social media and really nailing it down, and the growth is there. I know the above was a gloomy post, but that's just cuz shit kept going wrong like...

    We're doing meta ads. Currently our revenue is 50% meta ads, 25% word of mouth, 25% wholesale. I was about to say LinkedIn isn't a good idea, but I figured I shouldn't let my prejudices influence my decisions so I checked. You're right @ZCP, LinkedIn looks like a great platform for the more...

    We already do! We're sending out a batch of the new hole punches to our influencers next week. They're going to post them on their socials and make UGC ads for us.

    Another brutal week. My health recovered a lot, so I was looking forward to the amount of quality work I can put in. Nope, my employee who handles most manufacturing and order fulfillment got hospitalized or something and the other kept leaving early because of his kids, so I had to cover...

    Yep! They have a corporate policy that forbids them from carrying any brand other than theirs. White label is how we've been doing it. I also suggested we make a version of the products that look completely different so we don't even share the same look. They've gone completely radio silent on...
