Quotes:

"My education is largely just doing. I've, I've been hands on, one on one, with clients, for you know, since I was literally a teenager, working with people in real world situations, dealing with real world problems and helping them figure those things out."
"I have very much kind of that entrepreneurs brain. So it's very scattered lots of this, you know, squirrels and shiny objects and things like that. But one thing that my brain seems to be really capable of is remembering every study I read about vitamin C or, you know, D aspartic acid from 20 years ago."
"If I were to put this product on Amazon and it became a big seller, there will be somebody out there, or at least there's the potential for somebody out there to copy the label of my product, put something else in it and sell it as if it's my product."
"When you develop a product, you get to see you get to see it right from the raw material to the finished product. And you really see the entire picture. You understand why the price is the way it is, why the quality is the way it is, why it matters where you source the product from."
"We're still very much an independent family business. There are six of my family members that work here. My wife works with me. My oldest son and daughter both both work with me. My wife's two daughters work with us. So we have this really great, you know, family energy."
