This is the Beyond the Story podcast

0:07

, a show that goes way beyond

0:09

the story . And

0:13

now Sebastian

0:17

Frost

0:19

. Johnny

0:24

, welcome to the show . Thank you so much . Great

0:27

to have you here , man . I know that you and I connected

0:29

a couple months back in a very chilly

0:32

North Carolina yes , sir , and

0:35

that was a great event that a

0:37

good friend , quinn West , put on , and

0:39

you and I had a chance to have a few conversations

0:42

while we were there , and one of the things

0:44

that really stuck in my mind was that

0:46

you donated blood platelets

0:48

for a check to

0:50

invest into your company . That is now

0:52

a wildly successful company

0:55

and continuing to be so . I thought

0:57

wait a second , we need to get you on

0:59

the show . I want to hear more about this story

1:01

, so I'm stoked to have you here , man . Thanks for taking

1:03

the time out of your day to hang out

1:05

with me for just a few minutes to

1:07

share your story . So let's back up a

1:09

little bit . Let's go back to the beginning of the story and

1:11

really unpack this , because it's quite an interesting

1:13

story and I love the . I

1:16

don't know if it's a rags to riches per

1:18

se I guess that's subjective to

1:21

you but in my eyes , based

1:23

on the success Johnny Slick has had

1:25

to date . So I'm excited to hear

1:27

the story and how it's kind of unfolded

1:29

.

1:29

Yeah , we put it a bunch of different ways In the

1:32

story . My car got repowed , building the

1:34

business . So we say limo or repowed

1:36

a limo selling

1:38

blood . Obviously rags to riches is great

1:40

, grit and glory works as well pretty

1:42

much any of those things but essentially what

1:44

it is , it's the American dream . You know , in

1:47

a nutshell , this is just the American dream . So

1:50

while back 2000 , let's flash back I was in the

1:52

Marine Corps from 2012 to 2016,

1:54

. Around 2015, . Late 2015

1:56

to early 2016 . Buddy

1:59

of mine jokingly said well , what I

2:01

thought was jokingly said hey , is your

2:03

hair thinning ? I jumped down off of a loading

2:05

dock and he saw the top of my skull and

2:07

he said is your thin , your

2:09

thinning hair ? And I thought he was joking

2:11

. I played it off and at the time I took my

2:13

hair very seriously . In the Marine Corps I wanted to

2:15

look very dapper . I had a very nice pompadour

2:17

. Old school we used to have hair competitions who

2:20

can style their hair the coolest , who can

2:22

style it the best ? So when he said that

2:24

, I hurt my ego , it hurt dramatically

2:26

. So I went home that evening I looked in the mirror

2:28

and I could see the crown of my scalp

2:31

poking out through my hair . So my

2:33

whole world went through just massive

2:35

. Am I going bald at 21 years

2:37

old , 20 years old ? Am I going bald Like what

2:39

is going on here ? Did all the stuff

2:41

. I went through all my genetics , I did all this stuff . I called

2:44

every family member . I did all of that and

2:46

I was born with my mother's hairline so I should

2:48

not be going bald . And the next thing I

2:50

just woke up one morning I'm putting my

2:52

grooming products on my hair and then all of a sudden

2:54

I look at the label and I'm like Wait

2:57

, wait , is this a thing ? I can't

2:59

pronounce any of these ingredients . Is

3:02

this what's causing my hair loss ? So

3:04

I started to do a little bit of research on methylchlorazine

3:06

, six , red , seven , all of these

3:09

things that are synthetic and man-made . Go

3:11

and find out it's leading to my hair loss . So

3:13

I decided to ditch all of those products to the side

3:15

, and at the time I was just getting out of the Marine

3:18

Corps . They don't give you a big fat check for

3:20

leaving , so I didn't really have any

3:22

things set up afterwards other than I

3:24

knew I was passionate about hair . I wanted to do

3:26

barbering out of everything

3:28

. I wanted to cut hair . In barber

3:30

school , I found myself actually sitting in the classroom

3:33

, not on the cutting floor , actively

3:35

cutting hair . I found myself just reading

3:37

the books , reading the textbooks . Dive

3:41

into that . I was like , okay , I'm

3:43

ditching all of these chemical-filled products that are causing

3:46

my hair loss . What's the other option

3:48

? I'm still really passionate about my hair styling

3:50

. I'm passionate about hair in general

3:52

. What do I do ? And then , like

3:54

everybody else , organic . I'll just go to use

3:56

organic things , right ? Unfortunately

3:59

at the time , like I said , they don't give you a big fat check for

4:01

leaving the Marine Corps . So I had no money . And

4:04

then I had the wild idea of well , what

4:06

did they do 4,000 years

4:08

ago ? Well , how did they style

4:10

their hair ? How did they wash their bodies ? How

4:13

did they forge these ingredients to do

4:15

it ? So I was like , well , what if I just

4:17

try to do that ? What if I go , hypothetically , go

4:19

in my backyard , get some beeswax , get

4:21

some coconut oil , throw it in a pot

4:24

and bingo , bingo . I'm making myself a product

4:26

. Not as easy

4:28

as it sounds . I ended up looking

4:30

at every single product that I used

4:32

at the time and every single ingredient that I

4:34

could pronounce I bought went

4:37

like I had no money in the bank account at

4:39

all . I spent tons of money on things I didn't

4:41

need . Finally

4:44

, I ended up just going to barber

4:46

school spending money on ingredients

4:48

, blah , blah , blah , blah , cooking up all of these

4:50

ingredients in a big pot , and literally

4:52

I didn't know anything about anything

4:54

at all , other than I needed beeswax

4:56

. And I'm not a scientist , I'm

4:59

consider myself kind of smart , I'm just

5:01

a normal dude . So I'm just like dumping

5:03

beeswax and oils into this big pot

5:05

on my stove . It's catching fire

5:07

. It was wild . That thing happened for a while . But

5:10

unfortunately when you start to experiment with

5:12

things like that , your bank account

5:15

kind of hits hard . My

5:17

wife's working double shifts at Chuck E Cheese

5:19

as a manager , trying to just pay

5:21

rent , just trying to make these dues . Meanwhile

5:24

I'm going to barber school coming up with brilliant

5:26

ideas on what ingredients to burn

5:29

up on the stove , next coming home doing

5:31

that and there's just this cyclic

5:33

cycle we were in trying

5:36

to find the solution . But then finally , one

5:38

day it happened . I decided to cut

5:40

my entire list of all the things I was burning

5:42

up on the stove to just five . I

5:45

said I'm doing too much . I'm on tendency

5:47

. I don't like simple , I try to overcomplicate

5:49

. I think most of us overcomplicate Most

5:51

things in our life . I'm no different . I

5:54

had this massive list . I threw it out . I

5:56

said let me just start over . I'm just going to do five , just

5:58

five ingredients . I chose

6:00

beeswax , coconut oil , argan jojoba

6:02

and tea tree oil . I put them in the pot

6:04

and they didn't catch fire . They actually

6:06

turned into a working palmade

6:08

, something that I actually could use now in

6:11

my hair . Not , but three weeks later

6:13

, after doing that , my hair stopped

6:15

thinning . I had no more dry skin , no

6:17

more irritation , no more ingrown

6:19

hairs , and my hair was actually coming

6:21

back . I no longer saw my scalp

6:23

anymore and it felt like a whole

6:26

new person reemerged from this thing

6:28

. And in barbering I

6:30

realized that this wasn't I'm not the only one that

6:32

has thinning hair . This is a very common

6:34

problem , especially nowadays , with

6:37

all of our hormones being affected by food

6:39

and plastics and all of this stuff going on . A

6:41

lot of people have scalp issues , skin

6:43

issues or just body issues in general

6:46

, external hair issues . So I said what

6:48

if I make two more and

6:50

I give them to the guys at the barber shop that have

6:52

thinning hair and see if it works for them and

6:54

it did for two people , just

6:56

like that . So I was like , well , shit

6:58

man , is it possible that I could

7:01

make money doing this ? It solved my

7:03

issue . It solved their issue . I know

7:05

there's eight billion people in the world . I

7:08

wonder if I can solve more issues . So

7:10

I started just doing more of that and at

7:12

the time I was cooking maybe like three or four

7:14

of these little products at a time . That's

7:16

the most I could afford , and it

7:18

was . I'm not a salesman by any means . I'm a visionary

7:20

. So all I do is just talk . You know what I mean

7:23

. I tell my story . But I would go to

7:25

the barber shop and it's hard to convince people to get

7:27

off Dove and to get off J and J

7:29

products , you know , cause that's what they're used to . So

7:32

I would just literally go and give people products

7:34

. I would spend $20 making four products

7:36

and then just give them out . That

7:39

can only work for so long . I don't . I

7:41

didn't have an infrastructure for my business . I

7:43

joke . I say I had a , not for structure

7:46

. I didn't do anything

7:48

when it came to business . I literally just bought products

7:50

, gave them away , bought ingredients , cook products

7:52

, gave them away and my bank account

7:54

suffered dramatically . So

7:57

it got to a point now where we had no money and

8:00

this was my passion . I discovered that making

8:02

grooming products and cosmetics is my

8:04

passion and then helping people is my calling

8:07

. So I'm like I can't give this

8:09

up now . I'm not going . I'm not going back to whatever

8:11

I was doing before . I'm not going back to work . I

8:14

was working at a gas station at the time , at

8:16

a grave shift . I would go

8:18

throughout the parking lot pick up change to put gas

8:20

in my car to then drive my ass down

8:23

to the plasma center to sell plasma

8:25

twice a week to get $35 a pop

8:27

. They give you a little ATM card . I

8:29

went online and bought ingredients with those

8:31

and I specifically remember when I finally

8:34

had the Palmade put together . I

8:36

couldn't afford lids to put on top of the jar

8:38

, so I drove my ass down to the plasma

8:40

center , got $35 and bought

8:43

$35 worth of lids . They

8:45

ended up coming in , put it on and I had my

8:47

final we call the million dollar product

8:49

. That was my first million dollar product right

8:52

then and there . And we ended up having garage

8:54

sales every weekend . My car

8:56

got repo charged off credit cards . My

8:59

wife and I we didn't see each other for probably

9:02

a year . She was working days , I was working

9:04

nights trying to figure this stuff out and

9:07

right when it was about to get really

9:09

, really dark , it seemed like this was

9:11

just a never ending cycle of just me

9:14

going to donate plasma and then

9:16

me come back home , buy ingredients , give

9:18

away the products that I used the

9:20

money to buy , and

9:22

it just seemed like it was never ending . And if not , it

9:24

was taken more . So I actually , at

9:27

the age of 22 , I Googled how

9:29

to file bankruptcy . I didn't . This

9:31

is how naive and ignorant I was to it . I didn't

9:33

understand what was going on in my

9:35

life . So I Googled how do I file bankruptcy ? In

9:38

that thought , I actually had this weird

9:41

idea what if I reach out to the biggest

9:43

beard championships , like

9:46

the guys they perform beard

9:48

championships ? I didn't know this was a thing they have what

9:50

? Yeah , dude , every year , multiple

9:53

times a year , a bunch of dudes with massive

9:55

beards get together and they judge each

9:57

other's beards . It's wild and

9:59

it's getting big . You know beards are big . So

10:01

I reached out to first , second and third place . First

10:05

and second didn't really help me out , but the third place

10:07

winner said look man , you're making

10:09

these little tiny products . My beard is the size

10:11

of Texas Like there's no way you're gonna be able

10:13

to support me with how much oil I need and stuff

10:15

. But I know a Marine

10:18

who lives right down the road from you and

10:20

he might be able to help you out . His name is

10:22

Nick Kumalazos and I was like , oh

10:24

, no way . Okay , I'll reach out to him . I

10:26

messaged Nick like 40 times on the Instagram

10:29

. It took like seven weeks for him to get back to me

10:31

. But he finally got back to me and said come on down

10:33

and give me your product , let me try it out . He

10:35

tried it out and two weeks later we met at Chipotle

10:37

and partnered Not but two weeks

10:39

later , and that was like where it all took

10:42

off . After that , him and Ali

10:44

took care of marketing and all that stuff and all

10:46

my job was was to just cook and at

10:48

that point we started . The most money

10:50

I ever made in a month was $364

10:53

. And that's gross . That's not even net . My take

10:55

home was like negative , you know , because I wasn't an

10:57

infrastructure . This

10:59

year we'll be hitting eight figures and we're going

11:01

on year six . So we've been doing this for

11:04

six years and we're finally hitting eight

11:06

figures . After that $300 a month goal

11:08

. So yeah , donating

11:10

plasma rags to riches , repo

11:13

to limo , however you want to put it , but it really

11:15

is the American dream . And it all started

11:17

with just me having this personal issue

11:19

of my thinning hair . Tanks

11:22

my confidence , I found a solution and

11:24

now I'm here to offer the solution to everybody

11:26

. Wow .

11:28

I got chills with the story man . That is just yeah

11:30

, you're right , the American dream , the

11:32

rags to riches , you'd be all of the above

11:34

, whatever the catchy phrase is

11:36

on there . But it all started

11:38

with you and going

11:40

wait a second , I have a problem

11:42

with me that I don't like , and I think there's a solution

11:45

out there . And then , once you found

11:47

that solution , you're like wait a

11:49

second , how do I bring this to the world ? And

11:52

you refuse to give up . And I mean to be able

11:54

to donate blood and

11:56

not be able to pay your bills or have

11:58

gas money and wife's work in

12:00

double shifts , but

12:02

still , I mean it just goes to show you

12:04

had that , that it was ingrained

12:06

in you . It was like this you know this

12:08

mission that you knew that you were

12:10

, you were put on to accomplish , to

12:13

make significant change for not

12:15

only yourself and the world . So that's just incredible

12:17

and , by the way , thank you for your service as

12:20

well too . And you know that you you're

12:22

able to really extract something out of that experience

12:25

Not always , I've never been in the military

12:27

, but I can only imagine it's not the most exhilarating

12:30

. Yay , this was awesome experience

12:32

. At times I'm sure it was , but

12:35

it was on the other side of this , had the Marines

12:37

not happened when this have happened

12:39

right , yeah , yeah , honestly

12:42

, I don't even travel down those roads anymore .

12:44

I don't think about if that , if , then you

12:46

know it happens and I'm very grateful for

12:48

everything that happened . Highs , lows , whatever they're labeled

12:50

, I'm grateful for it . Or because I'm standing

12:52

right here talking to you , sure , sure , this is what I

12:54

want .

12:55

Yeah , that's

12:58

fantastic and encouraging , to say the least . So now we fast

13:00

forward to the current day . Right now , you guys are doing

13:02

eight figures a year , which is remarkable

13:04

. I mean seven figures six figures

13:07

in a business , right when you're

13:09

bootstrapped it off the ground is absolutely

13:11

remarkable . What are you guys primarily

13:13

focused on right now ? What are the core

13:16

line of products that you sell ? How

13:18

do people find them ?

13:20

Yeah , yeah , and

13:22

we start . We stand on our culture

13:24

, our culture . I believe in people over

13:26

policy , day in and day out . I will forever

13:29

choose people over some sort of

13:31

written word . This

13:33

year we're really focusing , diving into our

13:35

culture . Like I said , we're on year six . It's

13:39

just wild how much we're growing and just so everybody

13:42

knows as well , everything

13:44

we do is American made , and

13:47

I mean literally everything . When

13:49

we order supplies , I order raw beeswax

13:51

from a farm right down the road here , so I

13:54

get containers right from New York . I get

13:56

literally every single thing

13:58

is right here , american source

14:00

between these borders . I order all

14:02

of the supplies , all of them . I have over

14:04

500 little , tiny little ingredients

14:06

that I have to maintain inventory for . I bring them

14:09

all right here to Holly Ridge , north

14:11

Carolina . There are nine cooks . They're

14:13

actively cooking right in this room right over here , every

14:15

single product that's available , and then they're driven

14:17

down the road , five miles down the road to

14:20

our fulfillment center , which is then packaged and shipped

14:22

out where customer services . So when you

14:24

deal with Johnny Slicks , whenever you talk to

14:26

Johnny Slicks reps or you are engaged with

14:28

the business , you are dealing with actual living

14:30

Americans that are coming here and working , and

14:34

that's now my passion . Also hiring

14:36

American people , bringing them out from

14:39

corporate America , where they're being treated

14:41

as numbers and sheep , to here

14:43

where they can actually pursue their passions , and

14:45

I encourage them to be themselves . This

14:48

is just the dream . Now we have 21

14:50

individuals here , 21 team members

14:53

, and we're looking to expand that to another maybe

14:55

30 by the end of this year . Honestly

14:58

, I didn't know . Like I said , I came

15:00

out of my kitchen doing this stuff , so I was making like

15:02

two or three product products a week , not

15:05

really doing anything . These guys last

15:08

year cooked 750,000

15:10

SKUs of products . This

15:13

year , like , we're hitting the ceiling where

15:15

we only have 2,500 square

15:17

feet of manufacturing facility and

15:19

to cook that much product in this

15:21

a little amount of space is just

15:23

absolutely impossible . So we're

15:26

trying to figure that out . We're not getting any more

15:28

space , so we're trying to manipulate time a little

15:30

bit , seeing if we can manipulate time and

15:32

personnel . But we're just trying to overcome

15:34

this next threshold for the business to keep

15:36

growing Because , like you said , like people , this

15:39

is a worldwide issue , right ? And all these

15:41

people , they're going to want products . We need

15:43

to keep things in stock and we're not getting more

15:45

space . So it's just another challenge

15:47

, another problem . I don't believe in

15:49

problems . I believe all problems are just opportunities

15:51

to learn and try and experiment . So

15:54

all of these things that are happening here are

15:56

literally just opportunities for us to keep

15:58

growing , keep busting through the glass

16:00

ceilings . And this year also

16:02

, we'll be doubling our marketing

16:04

. So we'll be spending a ton more on

16:06

marketing on every single platform

16:08

, if you can think of it . We'll be on there and

16:11

then creating all the content for them , which is really fun

16:13

because we do all the content . Our media team is

16:15

right here in-house as well , so we do

16:17

everything literally in-house , which is

16:20

amazing to me , and apparently other companies

16:22

don't do that , which I don't like

16:25

at all . I don't understand it . I

16:27

want all everything made right here in America .

16:30

Yeah , I mean it did make sense . There's you know we don't

16:32

to be able to . You

16:34

know we take pride in

16:38

being American and American made , and we know

16:40

that it's happening here in the good old United

16:42

States . You know of America versus , you

16:45

know other alternatives , just because you

16:47

can save a buck or two on doing it . Plus , like

16:49

you mentioned , it is really empowering

16:51

and providing opportunities to

16:54

people to come and capitalize on

16:56

a new opportunity with you guys . I had a curiosity how

16:58

come no more space like

17:00

no new ?

17:01

space . It's just an area . It's just an area where , and so

17:03

we're actually we're trying to build a warehouse

17:05

. I have blueprints for a 12,000

17:07

square foot warehouse right here , but the

17:09

problem is there's like nobody's building

17:12

, nobody's selling , and this even the

17:14

space we're in right now , like this , is just offices

17:16

. Like I have a little office here and we have

17:18

to like make shift manufacturing space

17:20

, like knock down walls . We have to like

17:22

build tables , like it's weird

17:24

. So like imagine literally a 1,250

17:27

square foot offices where there's like little eight

17:30

by nine rooms . We have to put

17:32

massive 13 foot tables

17:34

with these big wax melters and hoses

17:36

and machines and bottles and , like

17:38

I said , there's like a million . There's gonna be well

17:40

over a million products that are cooked right

17:43

here . So we gotta figure something

17:45

out . You know what I mean . We're boosting now on Amazon

17:47

. Amazon is like crushing it for us , so

17:50

we're available on Amazon for anybody interested in

17:52

that . However , I do say buying

17:55

an Amazon is good . Buy direct , like buy

17:57

direct from the website , from the

17:59

people that we are supporting the company

18:01

directly . But yeah , that's the

18:03

space issue . And of course , they're building . We're

18:05

right on a highway here . They're looking

18:07

to do construction on the highway here in the next five years

18:10

to make it like a super highway . So

18:12

nobody wants to build anywhere

18:14

near it because it's all up in the air . So

18:16

all of this is just convenient timing , you know . It's

18:19

just another opportunity to try something

18:21

new . All part of the adventure . Yeah

18:23

, exactly , there's no perfect time , right

18:25

, it all just happened and it's an obstacle . We

18:27

have to overcome it or figure it out . That's part

18:29

of it . Yeah , as is life Fact

18:32

. Yeah , there's no waiting .

18:35

Well , so , johnny , it's been great to learn

18:37

this story , and so I am ridiculously

18:39

encouraged . I'm gonna record this episode . It's the beginning

18:41

of 2024 . So I'm encouraged

18:43

myself from my own business , my own entrepreneur journey

18:46

that I've been on for 20 plus years now and

18:48

just excited for what's to come for

18:51

you guys too , and I just appreciate

18:53

you spending some time to share the

18:55

story on here . What's the website

18:57

people can go by direct from you guys ?

18:59

Johnnyslickscom . So just Johnny

19:01

Slicks anywhere and Johnnyslickscom

19:03

you can go . Also

19:05

, we're on Public Square

19:08

. I don't know if you're familiar with Public Square they do

19:10

. Their culture is everything . It's

19:13

an app you download , but they have

19:16

stores on there that are exclusively American

19:18

only , so , like if people are interested

19:20

in only buying American made stuff and you wanna

19:22

switch away from China Public Square , we're

19:24

on it , and a bunch of other companies

19:26

that are just like us are on there as well . So you

19:28

can go . You can Public Square or just JohnnySlickscom

19:31

.

19:32

Thank you very much . I'll include those links in the show

19:34

notes . That's the description of this podcast episode , in case

19:36

you're wondering what in the world a show note is on here

19:38

. So make it easy for you to

19:40

check out those products , johnny . Any final

19:42

thoughts for our listeners on the entrepreneur

19:45

slash , business owner journey , where

19:47

they may just be getting started and they're probably

19:49

losing more hope than they are gaining it .

19:51

Yeah , I will say , first off

19:54

, I did not understand how crucial this

19:56

was into my operations and to people

19:58

. You are either and I don't want to put

20:00

people in a box , but you're either a visionary

20:02

or you're an integrator . There's combos

20:05

like Elon Musk is both , you know . But

20:07

me personally , I am a visionary . I

20:09

all day just come up with plans

20:12

, visions , new ideas . I got 80D

20:14

. I'm like , oh , look at this , look at this , look at this . You

20:16

will never get anything done as

20:19

a visionary if you don't have an integrator

20:21

, someone who can keep you aligned with what you're

20:23

good at . I'm really frigging

20:26

good at making grooming products

20:28

right , but for some reason , early

20:30

in the Johnny Slick's days , I was trying to do candles

20:32

, I was trying to do t-shirts , I was trying to do

20:34

everything because everything was

20:37

open for me . When you start to grow

20:39

, when you start to pursue something , opportunities

20:42

just pop up everywhere and if you

20:44

are a visionary , more than likely you will

20:46

just grab them all and hope for the best and see what

20:48

sticks . Find an integrator , find

20:50

someone who's really good at systems , who's understanding

20:53

networking , who's good at those type of things

20:55

, who can keep you on track . Without

20:57

Nick , I would literally be like running

20:59

around like a chicken without a head Dude

21:02

, I'm not even joking . I have hundreds

21:04

of notebooks behind me just filled with ideas

21:06

and 99% of them would

21:08

never take off with me , right

21:10

? But it's Nick's job , it's the integrator's

21:13

job to make sure that I'm staying focused

21:15

in my lane with making grooming products

21:18

. That is my 1% . No one else

21:20

can do that but me and same

21:22

with him . He's really good at it , but I'm the idea

21:24

guy , he's the integrator . So if you

21:26

are a visionary or if you're an integrator , I

21:29

highly encourage you to find somebody

21:31

that fits in your culture , morals and

21:33

ethics . That can be the opposite

21:35

, the opposing duality , if

21:37

you may , to yourself

21:40

. A lot of people find business

21:42

partners or find somebody

21:44

to work with that's just like them . However

21:47

, when a problem arises , if two people

21:49

are the same , you're going to find two solutions

21:52

that are the same . If you have

21:54

an opposite , you're going to find this

21:56

way to solve it and he's going to find the opposite , which

21:58

gives you way more room to grow . So

22:00

find out if you're a visionary . There's a really good

22:02

book called Rocket Fuel Excellent

22:05

book , right , figure

22:07

out if you're a visionary or if you're an integrator

22:09

. I will tell you . I'm going on year six now . If I

22:11

knew this back in year one , I

22:14

would be standing in a very different place , just with

22:16

that knowledge of , oh shit , I'm a visionary

22:18

. I didn't know I was and that

22:20

seems ignorant , but I didn't know I was

22:22

Knowing what I know . Now anybody

22:25

would say that to me . You come across me . You'd be like yeah

22:27

, you're a visionary , bro , you got a lot of

22:30

stuff up there . I'm really bad

22:32

at executing , and that's where

22:35

. Find what you're good at and find your flaws

22:37

and find someone who can help you with those

22:39

flaws Not master them , but control

22:42

them . That's my biggest takeaway

22:44

for anyone trying to pursue

22:46

a passion , pursue a hobby or start a business

22:48

.

22:49

Love it . Great final thoughts , excuse

22:51

me . Thanks again for your time , johnny . I really

22:53

appreciate it , wishing you guys nothing

22:55

but ongoing success . So encouraged

22:57

by your story , I and the brand you guys

22:59

keep rocking , rolling and changing the world

23:02

, one bottle of beard oil at a time

23:04
