1
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:02,900
What's going on? 
Ladies and gents Robert Sykes 

2
00:00:02,900 --> 00:00:05,500
keto Savage.com. 
And today I have a special guest

3
00:00:05,500 --> 00:00:08,900
to Cory Conklin on the line, 
we're going to dive into Quito 

4
00:00:08,900 --> 00:00:11,800
his transformation, his journey.
And then how that's kind of 

5
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,400
resulted in played a part, in 
his development of his own 

6
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:16,400
business. 
So we can talk Quito and 

7
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:29,500
business all day long. 
Without further Ado, how are you

8
00:00:29,500 --> 00:00:31,000
boy? 
Hi, I'm wonderful Robert. 

9
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,000
How about yourself today? 
I'm doing just standing. 

10
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,600
My man just dandy. 
So give the audience kind of a 

11
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,300
bio. 
You reached out to me on through

12
00:00:39,300 --> 00:00:41,800
email I believe then I've come 
in following your journey ever 

13
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:43,700
since. 
But kind of give us a little 

14
00:00:43,700 --> 00:00:48,400
insight into your transition to 
Quito kind of how that shaped 

15
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,000
your day today and what was the 
motivation behind that the first

16
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,400
place? 
Sure. 

17
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:56,600
Most of my adult life. 
I've been overweight to one 

18
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,100
extreme. 
Another and early on probably in

19
00:01:00,100 --> 00:01:02,700
my early 20s. 
I tried low-fat more than once 

20
00:01:03,100 --> 00:01:05,900
and it would last a couple of 
weeks and that would be it. 

21
00:01:05,900 --> 00:01:07,300
It's like this. 
This is nasty. 

22
00:01:07,300 --> 00:01:11,000
I just can't handle this rice 
cake suck and I'd throw all of 

23
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,500
all the food I bought away. 
And then just go back to eating 

24
00:01:13,500 --> 00:01:16,000
the way that I was. 
And as I got older, the course 

25
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,600
start putting on more weight and
then somewhere along the line I 

26
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,500
was reading about or heard about
Atkins figured, you know, might 

27
00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:27,100
as well give it a try and use 
that along with exercise. 

28
00:01:27,300 --> 00:01:32,500
Is to get healthy in my mid-20s.
But as usual, my mindset wasn't 

29
00:01:32,500 --> 00:01:34,600
correct in that. 
It was a lifestyle change. 

30
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,400
It was just a diet. 
I'd quit. 

31
00:01:36,500 --> 00:01:39,200
I put the weight back on and go 
up and down. 

32
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,600
Once I got married, my poor 
wife. 

33
00:01:41,900 --> 00:01:44,800
I put on a several more pounds. 
After the fact, and I got up to 

34
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,200
about 275 pounds. 
And we were actually on a 

35
00:01:48,208 --> 00:01:50,300
missions trip, helping your 
friend of ours overseas. 

36
00:01:50,300 --> 00:01:54,600
And he said, hey, you know, he 
suggested trying HCG shots which

37
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,200
I don't recommend to anybody but
it was Was something different, 

38
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,600
gave it a try. 
But the interesting thing was 

39
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,900
well once you're done with the 
shots is you're supposed to just

40
00:02:02,900 --> 00:02:08,400
eat low carb and so I actually 
got from 275, I got myself down 

41
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,200
to 188 Pounds in about a year. 
And then, of course again, it 

42
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,500
wasn't the right mindset, it 
wasn't my lifestyle and I fell 

43
00:02:15,500 --> 00:02:19,800
off the wagon as people do and I
got myself back up to around 240

44
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,600
pounds and then just been on and
off again with low carb. 

45
00:02:22,700 --> 00:02:27,000
How does the the HCG shot diet 
look like I don't I've heard of 

46
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,300
it. 
I know a little bit but I don't 

47
00:02:28,300 --> 00:02:29,500
know the details. 
Sure. 

48
00:02:29,500 --> 00:02:32,500
It depends on the, the way to 
somebody have recommends that 

49
00:02:32,500 --> 00:02:35,300
there's drops that you can 
supposedly take, just put them 

50
00:02:35,300 --> 00:02:38,600
in your mouth and or shots. 
And I was actually doing 

51
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,800
injections twice a day I 
believe. 

52
00:02:42,100 --> 00:02:47,700
And it was literally a zero fat 
or low fat as possible diet. 

53
00:02:47,700 --> 00:02:49,600
I would have black coffee for 
breakfast. 

54
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:54,100
Lunch would be like four ounces 
of boneless skinless, chicken 

55
00:02:54,100 --> 00:02:58,000
breast, a little bit of lettuce 
with Just vinegar. 

56
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,300
I don't even think I could put 
an oil on it, and then dinner 

57
00:03:00,300 --> 00:03:02,800
was the same. 
And you might have, for example,

58
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,300
like an apple also. 
So it was 600 calories, along 

59
00:03:06,300 --> 00:03:09,300
with the the injections, which 
are supposed to with the two 

60
00:03:09,300 --> 00:03:13,300
together allow you to burn fat. 
I really wasn't all that hungry 

61
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,000
and other people were, but I 
survived the worst part was its,

62
00:03:17,100 --> 00:03:19,500
hey, if you do this for 30 days,
you can lose a lot of weight. 

63
00:03:19,500 --> 00:03:22,800
And after about a week or two, 
you're like this, I need real 

64
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,100
food. 
I think it's the same thing all 

65
00:03:25,100 --> 00:03:27,500
the way, you know for a couple 
of weeks it gets old Quick. 

66
00:03:27,500 --> 00:03:29,200
But it did. 
I mean there was rapid weight 

67
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,000
loss? 
The drawback was, you know, long

68
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,100
it's not long-term viable, you 
can't continue to do this over 

69
00:03:35,100 --> 00:03:37,500
the long term. 
Again, I always find it 

70
00:03:37,508 --> 00:03:40,700
interesting that hey, low carb 
is what you transition to, as 

71
00:03:40,700 --> 00:03:44,800
soon as you're done anyway or 
even even keto, which wasn't as 

72
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,600
that word was in floating 
around, back, at that time, this

73
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,200
was probably 2011 but that's 
something that always kept in 

74
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,000
the back of my mind going. 
Well, it's still low carb anyway

75
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,300
so, you know, later on, it's 
like I just this is how I need 

76
00:03:56,300 --> 00:03:58,700
to do it. 
Not even bother with something 

77
00:03:58,700 --> 00:04:01,200
that really just suck. 
And then what was the, what was 

78
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,900
the transition? 
So if you do the AC/DC HG H CG 

79
00:04:05,900 --> 00:04:08,900
shots and then you knew all the 
while that low carb is kind of 

80
00:04:08,900 --> 00:04:11,800
the direction is pointing to. 
Did you just transition from 

81
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,900
that into low carb? 
I got down to what I got down to

82
00:04:15,900 --> 00:04:19,500
188 Pounds and I assumed it was 
a holiday. 

83
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,100
And as the old saying goes, my 
holiday and had had something I 

84
00:04:24,100 --> 00:04:26,700
shouldn't have and it turned 
into a hollow week, which turned

85
00:04:26,700 --> 00:04:29,000
into Me a hollow couple of 
years. 

86
00:04:29,100 --> 00:04:33,600
So I probably went home for 
Christmas with my wife visited 

87
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,700
family. 
And you know, that looks pretty 

88
00:04:35,700 --> 00:04:36,700
good. 
Let me let me have it. 

89
00:04:36,700 --> 00:04:38,400
It's only one meal, it's no big 
deal. 

90
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,500
Well, you know, now, we're going
to my parents house and oh yeah,

91
00:04:41,500 --> 00:04:43,200
they're making my favorite. 
I'll have that. 

92
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:44,900
And I can start after the first 
of the year. 

93
00:04:44,900 --> 00:04:48,300
And again, back to not having 
the right thought processes in 

94
00:04:48,300 --> 00:04:49,800
mind sets it. 
Well, you know, it's a couple 

95
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,500
years later and I've put back 50
of those pounds. 

96
00:04:52,700 --> 00:04:57,000
It was that caused me to 
finally, in to step back. 

97
00:04:57,100 --> 00:05:01,200
And I tried to do low carb on a 
semi-regular basis, but I would 

98
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,300
always boo. 
Well, you know, this one meal 

99
00:05:03,300 --> 00:05:05,700
won't hurt and I would do that 
two or three times a month. 

100
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,600
Yeah. 
Actually I just got done 

101
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,000
recording a podcast on this, 
this very subject matter and 

102
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,400
it's like, you know, the whole 
concept of, you know, giving 

103
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,600
yourself one meal. 
I mean, it's truly needs to be 

104
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,500
looked at like a drug, like, you
don't want to think of Quito as 

105
00:05:19,500 --> 00:05:22,300
being very strict, and you have 
to maintain like a certain super

106
00:05:22,300 --> 00:05:25,700
strict diet, you know, it's easy
to say just live a little bit, 

107
00:05:25,700 --> 00:05:27,500
you only live once have a little
bit of You. 

108
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,800
And I mean alcohol is probably 
say the same thing about 

109
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,400
drinking alcohol, you know. 
Yeah. 

110
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,100
And as dr. 
Westman says, they're finding 

111
00:05:35,100 --> 00:05:38,500
now that if you go ahead and 
have your one cheat meal, it 

112
00:05:38,500 --> 00:05:40,500
could be two weeks. 
According to what? 

113
00:05:40,500 --> 00:05:42,900
They're finding that before, 
you're back into ketosis. 

114
00:05:42,900 --> 00:05:46,500
Again, I have back to, when I 
finally got back to strict, 

115
00:05:46,500 --> 00:05:49,200
ketosis is close. 
As I could, I started 

116
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:54,500
Thanksgiving Day of 2017. 
That was one of my is a Kenyan 

117
00:05:54,500 --> 00:05:56,000
put to. 
That was one of my see moments, 

118
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,000
my significant emotional All 
events where my wife was like, 

119
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,900
hey, who's going to lose 10 
pounds? 

120
00:06:00,900 --> 00:06:03,800
The fastest and I chuckled, I'm 
like, well, I already know I'm 

121
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,800
going to win that contest 
because I have a whole lot more 

122
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:10,000
to lose and she didn't need to 
lose anything and it just hit me

123
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,900
that, okay, I know what to do 
and I'm not doing it. 

124
00:06:12,900 --> 00:06:15,300
I'm having these, you know, 
every couple of weeks while this

125
00:06:15,300 --> 00:06:18,400
is no big deal, not necessarily 
cheap meals, I didn't see him as

126
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,900
a cheat. 
It was just I kept giving in and

127
00:06:20,900 --> 00:06:25,400
not concentrating on my health. 
So, Thanksgiving Day of 17 I 

128
00:06:25,407 --> 00:06:28,400
finally said, okay, we're 
starting We cooked a full 

129
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,900
Thanksgiving meal. 
It was all low carb across the 

130
00:06:30,900 --> 00:06:35,700
board and since that time, I 
have twice that I can think of 

131
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,000
where I said, you know, it's a 
busy day, I'm on the road, we're

132
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,100
just going to go out to eat 
today and I didn't care what I 

133
00:06:42,100 --> 00:06:44,100
ate. 
And then the next day, I 

134
00:06:44,100 --> 00:06:46,600
actually took a customer out to 
lunch and same thing happened. 

135
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,300
It's like he said, let's go to a
Mexican restaurant and I should 

136
00:06:49,300 --> 00:06:52,400
have said, no, because the the 
chips and salsa, just it tastes 

137
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,400
too. 
Good thing for two, for two 

138
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,600
weeks, I was my me, the 
inflammation came In the next 

139
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,400
day, it hurt. 
My knees were killing me. 

140
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,600
My, my back hurt. 
Intestinal distress. 

141
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,500
I quote unquote, gained 10 
pounds in a day. 

142
00:07:06,500 --> 00:07:08,700
Now, grind, it was all water 
weight, but it took over two 

143
00:07:08,700 --> 00:07:11,900
weeks to get back to normal. 
It just reminded me. 

144
00:07:11,900 --> 00:07:15,300
This is why I don't want to 
cheat one of the many reasons 

145
00:07:15,300 --> 00:07:17,700
because it's not worth the pain 
quite literally. 

146
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,200
Yeah. 
And then I mean, it's it's 

147
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:21,900
interesting. 
I've got several clients that 

148
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,200
have been, you know, over 
weights and were incredibly 

149
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:30,500
insulin. 
Assistant and whenever they have

150
00:07:30,500 --> 00:07:33,000
like a cheat meal they're 
obviously going to respond much 

151
00:07:33,008 --> 00:07:36,100
different than some of that's 
that's very insensitive and not 

152
00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:40,000
overweight and it is not it's 
not a rare thing for them to 

153
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:44,700
gain you know 10 15 maybe even 
like 20 pounds over the course 

154
00:07:44,700 --> 00:07:47,800
of 24 hours when they go off the
rails. 

155
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,500
But then they're faced with this
just wall. 

156
00:07:50,500 --> 00:07:56,000
I'd like just stress and 
emotional heartache in having 

157
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,700
that huge weight gain even In 
though, they can very often 

158
00:07:58,700 --> 00:08:01,700
times lose that water weight 
nearly as quick as they gained 

159
00:08:01,700 --> 00:08:04,600
it just simply having that huge 
wall in front of them. 

160
00:08:04,900 --> 00:08:07,500
And look at the scale seeing 20 
pounds up 10 pounds up. 

161
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,600
It's like that almost is enough 
to break the break the stride 

162
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,400
and just giving completely and 
it does I've done it myself. 

163
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,500
So I understand completely what 
people are feeling with that 

164
00:08:18,500 --> 00:08:20,800
happens, you look at the scales 
and go, I blew it. 

165
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,000
I'm just going to eat what are 
what I want now and you waste 

166
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,600
all of that hard work. 
You know, you don't sit there 

167
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:32,299
and see The overall picture I've
lost 50 pounds or 70 or 100 and 

168
00:08:32,299 --> 00:08:36,500
then say well, you know, okay, 
it's only 10 pounds, it's even 

169
00:08:36,500 --> 00:08:40,200
if it's 25% of my weight loss, I
can stop now and go back at it. 

170
00:08:40,299 --> 00:08:42,000
Part of. 
It is also, I don't think people

171
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,800
realize is water weight. 
They just see 10 pounds ago. 

172
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,200
Oh my goodness. 
I've gained weight. 

173
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,900
Yeah, but do your, your 
close-fitting tighter, because 

174
00:08:48,900 --> 00:08:52,900
if you put 10, 10 pounds of fat,
back on your body, your parents 

175
00:08:52,900 --> 00:08:54,800
are going to fit. 
Tighter your shirts going to fit

176
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,200
tighter. 
Your belts going to be a notch 

177
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,400
bigger and they I pay attention 
to all of that. 

178
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,400
It's the shock of, oh, my 
goodness. 

179
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,000
And like I said, I've done it. 
You give in and say, oh well 

180
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,900
forget it, it's not worth the 
hassle anymore. 

181
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,400
So I think that's something that
really needs to be taught along 

182
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:12,000
with just, you know, the basics 
of low-carbon Quito is hey, if 

183
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,200
the you do cheat this is what 
happens. 

184
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,300
Pay attention to your body, 
especially with the pain, the 

185
00:09:17,300 --> 00:09:19,500
aches, and the pains that come 
back, pay attention to that. 

186
00:09:19,500 --> 00:09:21,900
Now, ask yourself, do I really 
want to deal with this again? 

187
00:09:21,900 --> 00:09:24,100
And I think it really could help
motivate people to go. 

188
00:09:24,100 --> 00:09:26,400
Okay, I screwed up. 
Let me step back and start all 

189
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,700
over again. 
And really get back on track. 

190
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:33,300
I've really been trying to dive 
into the psychology of the human

191
00:09:33,300 --> 00:09:35,600
race. 
Like I'm trying to think about 

192
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,300
how people think and why they 
think the way they do and how 

193
00:09:39,300 --> 00:09:41,700
that results in the actions they
take. 

194
00:09:42,100 --> 00:09:46,600
So in your opinion, if someone 
know, I mean you knew when you 

195
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,800
had those two instances that 
were off course that you would 

196
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,400
have the inflammation, you would
gain the way you would have that

197
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:56,400
initial water retention that. 
You wouldn't feel as good, so 

198
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,100
why? 
Why do you why do you think 

199
00:09:58,100 --> 00:10:00,000
people go off the rails and do 
that? 

200
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,200
Like, I'm trying to reverse 
engineer this and actually 

201
00:10:02,500 --> 00:10:04,200
deconstruct people stopped 
process. 

202
00:10:04,300 --> 00:10:06,600
I think part of it is 
perspective. 

203
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,700
They're on a diet that it's not,
it's not a lifestyle. 

204
00:10:09,700 --> 00:10:13,500
That's something that I've 
really changed on my thought 

205
00:10:13,500 --> 00:10:15,600
processes. 
I'm not on a diet anymore. 

206
00:10:15,700 --> 00:10:19,400
This is my life. 
I tease people and they ask, you

207
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,800
know, well, what are your goals?
I want to look like Mark Sisson 

208
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,000
when I'm 65 years old, that's my
goal. 

209
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,500
I've got a long way to go, and 
it's now it's Completely 

210
00:10:27,500 --> 00:10:30,100
different perspective, it's not.
I want to lose weight. 

211
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,900
I honestly don't care if I lose 
another pound, the rest of my 

212
00:10:32,900 --> 00:10:34,500
life. 
That's how good I feel. 

213
00:10:34,900 --> 00:10:38,100
I'm paying attention to my body 
now and realize I sleep. 

214
00:10:38,100 --> 00:10:41,100
All whole lot better. 
I wake up almost every day. 

215
00:10:41,100 --> 00:10:44,500
Unless I have a late night at 
6:00 6:30 in the morning, ready 

216
00:10:44,500 --> 00:10:47,400
to go, I get up, I go 
downstairs, do a little bit of 

217
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:52,800
reading, start my exercises, 
grab my coffee and I go I didn't

218
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,600
if you had told me in my 20s and
30s that I'd wake up every day 

219
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,600
at 6:00 ready to go at all. 
I laughed at you again, the lack

220
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:03,600
of inflammation is a big factor 
for me, but also long-term, I'm 

221
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,600
looking at, okay? 
I want to be there for my 

222
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,300
grandkids. 
I want to be able to go running 

223
00:11:07,300 --> 00:11:10,300
around with them, playing with 
them, taking them places in my 

224
00:11:10,300 --> 00:11:12,800
60s and 70s and Beyond. 
I don't want to sit there go. 

225
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,100
Yeah, love you kids. 
But Grandpa's kind of tired. 

226
00:11:15,100 --> 00:11:17,900
I can't go out today. 
I don't want dementia. 

227
00:11:17,900 --> 00:11:20,800
I don't want Alzheimer's. 
I don't want any of these 

228
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:25,200
degenerative diseases that I 
truly believe a result of diet 

229
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,100
today. 
So with other I don't think they

230
00:11:28,100 --> 00:11:31,300
really step back and have that 
thought process of. 

231
00:11:31,300 --> 00:11:35,200
Why am I doing this? 
Simon sinek in his book, start 

232
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,800
with white and his Ted Talk 
which both of which were 

233
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,500
recommended by can also have 
been very helpful. 

234
00:11:42,500 --> 00:11:45,500
It's a why do you want to do 
what you want to do? 

235
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,000
And when you have a good why 
that that is greater than your 

236
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,900
what? 
They're really helps. 

237
00:11:50,900 --> 00:11:54,600
You be more successful. 
So my wise they change often. 

238
00:11:54,700 --> 00:11:58,400
So is my what like I said? 
I Mike, what do I really want to

239
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,800
lose weight? 
Yeah, but that's really not what

240
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,000
I want to do. 
Now, is just stick to living 

241
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,500
low-carb keto, so that I can be 
healthy the rest of my life. 

242
00:12:07,500 --> 00:12:09,800
And not not have to worry about 
some of those degenerative 

243
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,900
diseases that we see today. 
So many people that are 

244
00:12:12,900 --> 00:12:14,900
suffering with. 
I think people really need to 

245
00:12:14,900 --> 00:12:18,400
get that thought process 
ingrained into them to make the 

246
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:22,400
changes, I completely agree. 
It's, you know, thinking of it 

247
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,800
as a lifestyle versus thinking 
of it as a diet, I believe is 

248
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,400
like the before. 
The crossroads so to speak where

249
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,800
people are either going to you 
know, fall off the wagon, have 

250
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,500
those cheat meals and just never
really reach the goal versus 

251
00:12:33,900 --> 00:12:35,900
actually reaching the goal. 
And I mean, it, we say that it 

252
00:12:35,900 --> 00:12:40,100
sounds so obvious like people, 
you know, know that they need to

253
00:12:40,500 --> 00:12:43,200
fully commit and make it a 
lifestyle, but people have so 

254
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,000
much of a difficulty in doing 
that. 

255
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:50,500
And it's, it's confusing to me 
because, you know, I love 

256
00:12:51,700 --> 00:12:54,500
cinnamon roll. 
I love a piece of cheesecake. 

257
00:12:54,500 --> 00:12:56,800
I love all that stuff. 
Just as much as the next person.

258
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:02,100
Yeah, but I don't love that like
nowhere anywhere as close as I 

259
00:13:02,100 --> 00:13:05,300
love, you know, the long-term 
health benefits the, in the 

260
00:13:05,300 --> 00:13:08,800
moment benefits, like, just on a
24-hour revolving basis. 

261
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,100
I know that if I go off the 
rails and have a ton of carbs, 

262
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,400
I'm not going to perform worth a
damn. 

263
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,100
In my day-to-day business tasks 
much less my performance code. 

264
00:13:18,100 --> 00:13:22,700
So that that alone is enough of 
a reason to not even, you know, 

265
00:13:22,700 --> 00:13:27,100
flirt, The Edge and go that way.
But then I think about The 

266
00:13:27,100 --> 00:13:29,700
long-term effects of like you're
saying like them to dinner, the 

267
00:13:29,700 --> 00:13:33,500
generative diseases and, you 
know, Alzheimer's and Dementia. 

268
00:13:33,500 --> 00:13:36,900
Like if there's anything I can 
be doing now, they can have a 

269
00:13:36,908 --> 00:13:40,900
compounding effect on my 
livelihood, to avoid those 

270
00:13:40,900 --> 00:13:43,000
later. 
I'm gonna do it, I can send its 

271
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,600
no questions about it. 
Like I think this whole 

272
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,700
philosophy of, you know, you 
only live life once just go for 

273
00:13:48,700 --> 00:13:52,600
it, you know, have that piece of
cake, I think that's just a very

274
00:13:53,100 --> 00:13:56,100
weak mindset and people might 
cruise for me. 

275
00:13:56,100 --> 00:13:58,500
Crucify me for Saying that. 
But at the end of the day, I 

276
00:13:58,508 --> 00:14:00,600
mean a piece of cake is not 
worth it, you know? 

277
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:04,100
No, it's not. 
I mean, especially when you can 

278
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,900
find plenty of other recipes if 
you really want something, you 

279
00:14:07,900 --> 00:14:10,000
can find a way to have it and 
keep it low carb. 

280
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,200
I'm not going to say it will 
necessarily keep it key do with 

281
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,600
with terminology but you want 
cheesecake. 

282
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,600
I could make it cheesecake, the 
taste pretty good. 

283
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,300
And it'll, it'll fill that 
Niche. 

284
00:14:20,300 --> 00:14:24,000
That you have just pay attention
to serving sizes and eat a 

285
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,000
serving. 
That's another reason I try to 

286
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:30,800
avoid even Kito treats because 
man, I you give me something 

287
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,400
sweet and I don't want to stop. 
I'd rather eat the whole thing 

288
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,000
than that one. 
You know, sixteenth of a slice 

289
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,000
of a whole cheesecake, same with
nuts. 

290
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,200
For example, they're a great 
snack, but I'll eat a whole jar.

291
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,900
There goes my day. 
Yesterday on a jar at nights. 

292
00:14:45,700 --> 00:14:49,500
So paying attention in. 
Yeah, there may be times. 

293
00:14:49,900 --> 00:14:51,500
I know some people that. 
Yeah, okay. 

294
00:14:51,700 --> 00:14:55,000
It'll help them, but eventually,
you'll get to the point you go, 

295
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:56,800
I don't want it, I don't need 
it. 

296
00:14:56,900 --> 00:15:00,900
It, the Cravings will disappear.
It just takes time for your body

297
00:15:00,900 --> 00:15:03,600
to adjust. 
Yeah, it completely 100% agree. 

298
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:08,100
It's it's, it's kind of like, 
you know, I was talking earlier 

299
00:15:08,100 --> 00:15:09,400
about this today, actually, as 
well. 

300
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,400
You know, when I first started 
the diet, I was really Keen to 

301
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,200
try all the different. 
You know, pseudo look-alike 

302
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,800
meals, have all the cheesecakes,
all the cookies and whatnot 

303
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,500
because you can make those in 
his all the recipes out there 

304
00:15:19,500 --> 00:15:22,400
form. 
But then the more deeply adapted

305
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,200
you get, the more you just tend 
to phase those out. 

306
00:15:25,500 --> 00:15:29,900
And I feel People like if people
just, you know, committed to 

307
00:15:29,900 --> 00:15:34,600
Quito and it's true, pure form 
for six months straight and then

308
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,300
decided they wanted to introduce
some stuff. 

309
00:15:36,300 --> 00:15:38,300
They would have so much more 
willpower than if they just 

310
00:15:38,308 --> 00:15:40,600
totally, you know, went off the 
rails from the get-go. 

311
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,500
I mean, if I mean, anybody can 
do anything for six months, you 

312
00:15:43,500 --> 00:15:44,300
know. 
It just takes a little bit 

313
00:15:44,300 --> 00:15:47,500
discipline and willpower if they
do that, then the at least see 

314
00:15:47,500 --> 00:15:48,900
the light on the other side of 
the tunnel. 

315
00:15:48,900 --> 00:15:51,400
And if you didn't make the 
decision to, just go against 

316
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,900
that and that's on you. 
But at least give your body and 

317
00:15:54,900 --> 00:15:59,600
mind the, you know, Leti 
performance, it's do and get 

318
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,600
that far before you decide to go
off the rails. 

319
00:16:01,700 --> 00:16:05,200
Yeah, I mean, pay attention. 
I mean, I encourage all of my 

320
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,800
clients, you know, pay attention
to the non scale victories 

321
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,100
again, how you feel? 
You're close fitting better and 

322
00:16:11,100 --> 00:16:12,700
everything out, the mental 
Clarity. 

323
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,200
I mean, it's I thought that was 
crazy and then it's like, I 

324
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,200
can't believe how much better I 
can think in the the ideas that 

325
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,600
I came up with. 
It's like so much better. 

326
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:26,200
Just, okay, sleep. 
When I go out, I go out, I sleep

327
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,400
so much better. 
Pay attention to all the 

328
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,600
benefits. 
You're gaining and then weigh 

329
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,600
that against the opposite and 
put it on the set of scales and 

330
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,200
go. 
Okay, which is better for me, 

331
00:16:35,700 --> 00:16:38,500
which do I prefer? 
Like you said, do I want that in

332
00:16:38,500 --> 00:16:41,600
the moment piece of cheesecake 
or do I want that lifetime of 

333
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,700
Better Health and there's a, if 
people are honest, what they 

334
00:16:44,700 --> 00:16:46,400
want and what they'll do or do 
different things. 

335
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,500
But I think most people want the
long-term Health, they just like

336
00:16:49,500 --> 00:16:52,200
you said, give it that six wants
to get adjusted. 

337
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:56,000
I mean, example, that I use is 
if you put a bad guy, tank of 

338
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,600
gas in your car, are it's going 
to run really bad for a while 

339
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,600
until it finally Burns through 
that bad gas. 

340
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:07,200
And it's now burning, you know, 
a cleaner fuel because it took 

341
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,400
time to get through it. 
Our bodies are the same way 

342
00:17:09,500 --> 00:17:13,599
except we've been burning, bad 
fuel for in my case, 40 years 

343
00:17:13,599 --> 00:17:17,300
and it took time to really 
adjust to get used to a cleaner 

344
00:17:17,300 --> 00:17:20,200
fuel source and said, oh, I feel
so much better now. 

345
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,099
Why did I not do this in the 
first place at? 

346
00:17:22,099 --> 00:17:24,700
Totally agree and that's a great
segue. 

347
00:17:24,700 --> 00:17:28,600
To the next thing we'll talk 
about here which is When you do,

348
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:30,600
you know, take it to the next 
level with your nutrition and 

349
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,600
you you have that kind of, aha 
moment you recognize, how much 

350
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,300
better you feel. 
Then you start to see 

351
00:17:36,300 --> 00:17:39,300
opportunities and needs, you 
just see life through a 

352
00:17:39,308 --> 00:17:43,200
different lens and you you feel 
like you've accomplished this 

353
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,100
and and now, you know, the world
is your oyster, you can, you can

354
00:17:46,100 --> 00:17:48,500
do so much more and you actually
believe that you can accomplish 

355
00:17:48,500 --> 00:17:51,400
it. 
So, with that said, how is, you 

356
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:55,400
know, your foundation and your 
success with keto kind of blood 

357
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,200
into other Aspects of your life 
and force you to kind of 

358
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,100
recognize and move forward on 
other goals of yours. 

359
00:18:02,100 --> 00:18:05,200
Yeah, good question. 
I was, I one of my belly, the 

360
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,200
passions of mine, it's not keto 
specific, but it's great. 

361
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,000
For Quito is smoking meat. 
I know that you enjoyed that 

362
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,000
also. 
And in the past again, back to 

363
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,500
the the proper perspective in 
mind set, I would go to the 

364
00:18:16,500 --> 00:18:18,100
store. 
Buy a barbecue rub. 

365
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,700
Look at the jar and it'll say, 
zero, carbs, zero sugar, then 

366
00:18:21,700 --> 00:18:24,400
you go to the ingredient list, 
the first ingredients brown 

367
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:28,700
sugar, but the nutrition label 
says there's On in here and it's

368
00:18:28,700 --> 00:18:31,600
how I watched your YouTube video
with dr. 

369
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:35,300
Ken Berry talking about that 20%
and they can round up and they 

370
00:18:35,300 --> 00:18:38,700
can round down and they 
intentionally keep the serving 

371
00:18:38,700 --> 00:18:42,200
size so small that the 
percentages are where they can 

372
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:43,900
say, oh, there's no sugar in 
this. 

373
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,000
So, in the past, I would say, 
oh, okay, no big deal, it says 

374
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,100
zero carbs. 
I'm good. 

375
00:18:48,100 --> 00:18:53,700
And then fast forward to 
December of 2017 and I stood at 

376
00:18:53,700 --> 00:18:56,700
a, at the store, they this 
eight-foot wide rack. 

377
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,300
Be 6 foot High full of barbecue 
rubs and all of them were full 

378
00:19:00,300 --> 00:19:03,200
of sugar. 
I'm like, okay, no, this is my 

379
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:03,900
lifestyle. 
Now. 

380
00:19:03,900 --> 00:19:07,500
I can't do this no matter what 
the nutrition label says, and I 

381
00:19:07,508 --> 00:19:10,100
quite literally stood in the 
grocery store and said, okay, 

382
00:19:10,100 --> 00:19:13,300
I'm I'm starting my own business
selling trigger, free 

383
00:19:13,300 --> 00:19:17,000
additive-free, spices and rubs, 
because I'm not the only one out

384
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,800
there that wants this. 
There are, you know, millions of

385
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,800
people out there that want to 
live and get healthy, whether 

386
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,700
they're low carb, their keto, 
they're vegetarian or vegan. 

387
00:19:26,900 --> 00:19:30,000
Just want to remove sugar and 
junk from their diet, and I've 

388
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,400
stood there and said, okay I'm 
going to change this. 

389
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:36,000
And as a result, I started at 
that time, the name of the 

390
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:37,600
company at that time was going 
to be Quito Pig. 

391
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:42,300
BBQ but through working with one
of your former guests can Canyon

392
00:19:42,500 --> 00:19:44,800
long story short, I was 
listening to your podcast with 

393
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,800
him on my way to work. 
One day stopped where I was 

394
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,100
going found out. 
I was in the town that he lives 

395
00:19:50,100 --> 00:19:53,500
in, gave him a call, and now 
we're working together and he 

396
00:19:53,500 --> 00:19:55,900
pointed out. 
Yeah, that's a kind of a narrow 

397
00:19:55,900 --> 00:19:57,400
Focus for the name. 
Of your company. 

398
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:01,200
You need to open it up a little 
bit and so I created select 

399
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:05,200
Savory seasonings, where we sell
Gourmet fresh, sugar-free 

400
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:09,800
additive-free spices and rubs so
that people can enjoy their 

401
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,900
Smoked Meats and their foods and
everything else, without the 

402
00:20:13,900 --> 00:20:15,400
worry of. 
Well, what's in here? 

403
00:20:15,700 --> 00:20:18,100
There's nothing in here, except 
for spices, it's all good for 

404
00:20:18,100 --> 00:20:19,600
you. 
That is so cool man. 

405
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:23,100
Like you, I don't often times 
bring people in the show so they

406
00:20:23,100 --> 00:20:26,000
could talk about their product 
or, you know, their business, 

407
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,700
whatever it is. 
Because Want to come across as 

408
00:20:27,700 --> 00:20:32,200
like, I just push and stuff but 
that is the exact opposite of 

409
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,000
what you're doing here. 
Like you you were on the K2 

410
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,400
lifestyle, you saw a hole in the
marketplace. 

411
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,900
You you were looking for 
seasonings yourself to use 

412
00:20:40,900 --> 00:20:42,500
recognize. 
There is an opportunity, there 

413
00:20:42,500 --> 00:20:46,000
are potential and just freaking 
went for man and that's like 

414
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,200
I'll do everything I can to 
promote that kind of thinking 

415
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,500
because that is that is what 
more people need to be doing, 

416
00:20:50,500 --> 00:20:52,900
right? 
And you know, I tell people all 

417
00:20:52,900 --> 00:20:55,100
the time it's like I believe my 
stuff. 

418
00:20:55,100 --> 00:20:57,900
It's great. 
It Tastes amazing. 

419
00:20:57,900 --> 00:20:59,700
The which was something that 
really blew me away. 

420
00:20:59,700 --> 00:21:03,000
Once I started getting into 
this, it's like fresh spices 

421
00:21:03,300 --> 00:21:05,500
taste. 
So much better than or freshly 

422
00:21:05,500 --> 00:21:08,000
bottled spices compared to what 
you're buying in the store and 

423
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,700
you have no clue how old that 
is. 

424
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,200
It's got an expiration date, 
while you still don't know when 

425
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,400
they bottled it. 
So it adds so much flavor and 

426
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,200
variety of your food and I'll 
tell people, you don't have to 

427
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,700
buy my stuff. 
I realize you don't need selects

428
00:21:21,700 --> 00:21:24,400
a every seasonings to be 
successful in Quito, or like a 

429
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,400
lot of these products out there 
that say, oh, you have Use this 

430
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,500
or you're never going to know. 
I didn't get into it. 

431
00:21:29,500 --> 00:21:31,300
The force it on people. 
It's a help. 

432
00:21:31,300 --> 00:21:34,000
It's a tool. 
You can add to your kitchen 

433
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,500
cabinet in this case instead of 
a toolbox. 

434
00:21:36,500 --> 00:21:39,100
Well, I guess in your case, it 
would be a toolbox that you have

435
00:21:39,100 --> 00:21:44,800
in the kitchen full of spices 
and it adds variety of to your, 

436
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,800
you know, I get on one of the 
complaints I hear from people 

437
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,000
is, well, keto and low carb or 
boring. 

438
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,000
It's the same thing over and 
over again. 

439
00:21:53,100 --> 00:21:56,300
Okay, well, in my family. 
Yeah, it's the same Basic Foods,

440
00:21:56,300 --> 00:22:03,100
but I've got 35 or 37 different 
spices and blends I could cook a

441
00:22:03,108 --> 00:22:05,400
hamburger every day of the week 
and it's going to be different 

442
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,600
every single time and all I did 
was change the spices you can go

443
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:13,100
from, you know, a chili powder 
one day to garlic herb. 

444
00:22:13,100 --> 00:22:16,000
Seasoning. 
The next two and you add variety

445
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,700
simply by changing the flavor 
profile of your food and it 

446
00:22:19,700 --> 00:22:22,900
helps tremendously with with 
that aspect of it. 

447
00:22:22,900 --> 00:22:26,500
Also, it is it is amazing man. 
Like I'll because I look at the 

448
00:22:26,500 --> 00:22:27,800
ingredients. 
Listen, everything, like I don't

449
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,900
buy a single food item, or spice
or sauce or anything without 

450
00:22:31,900 --> 00:22:34,700
looking beneath the nutrient 
profile. 

451
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,300
Macro profound looking at the 
actual ingredients because it is

452
00:22:38,300 --> 00:22:41,100
astonishing like me you know 
making the keto Brooks and being

453
00:22:41,100 --> 00:22:44,100
in the food industry I've kind 
of gotten a you know, first 

454
00:22:45,100 --> 00:22:51,200
first line view of how how crazy
the food industry truly is and 

455
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:55,900
that whole 20% margin thing is 
true and companies will do some 

456
00:22:55,900 --> 00:23:00,400
pretty Pretty to saving things 
just to make a quick buck and 

457
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,800
it's sad, but it's true. 
So it's our responsibility as 

458
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,500
consumers. 
The, you know, take that into 

459
00:23:06,500 --> 00:23:08,800
our own hands. 
We can't expect companies to not

460
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,700
try and make a dollar because 
people just don't have that 

461
00:23:11,700 --> 00:23:16,000
Integrity, unfortunately. 
But you look at foods that that 

462
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,400
do say, zero carbs, your sugar, 
and the first ingredient is 

463
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:24,000
sugar and your kind of left 
standing like what do I do? 

464
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,500
Do I eat it or not, eat it. 
But with with yours, I mean, you

465
00:23:27,500 --> 00:23:30,400
sent me like a sample pack and 
that stuff is freaking delicious

466
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,400
man. 
Like I put that on the venison 

467
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,100
that I killed this past couple 
weeks ago. 

468
00:23:35,500 --> 00:23:38,600
I've been putting it on my 
steaks and put it in my ground 

469
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:43,700
beef and like having seasoning 
adds a whole world of flavor can

470
00:23:43,700 --> 00:23:46,900
like you were just saying but I 
ate a pound of ground beef every

471
00:23:46,900 --> 00:23:50,700
single day and I'll get tired of
ground beef occasionally but a 

472
00:23:50,700 --> 00:23:52,600
pound of ground beef with like a
different seasoning. 

473
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,700
That's on, like a five-day 
rotational basis. 

474
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:56,600
I don't think I'd ever get old 
ever get tired of that. 

475
00:23:56,700 --> 00:23:59,900
You know, yeah, exactly that. 
And that's one of the reasons I 

476
00:23:59,900 --> 00:24:02,800
wanted to start the companies to
help people with that. 

477
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,200
Is that understand? 
Hey, it's not just, you know, 

478
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,300
plain old hamburger, you can add
a lot of variety to it. 

479
00:24:08,900 --> 00:24:14,300
I also interested with working 
with Ken started a another 

480
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:18,000
brand, which is a the creative 
key to cook trying to teach 

481
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:24,600
people how to Simply cook on a 
day-to-day basis, their food to 

482
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:28,000
how to live ketose, take heed o.
Now, I know A lot of recipes and

483
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,600
stuff out there but they get 
really complex and I just I 

484
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,500
wanted to keep it simple. 
I want to stick with the kiss 

485
00:24:32,500 --> 00:24:35,500
method and keep it simple stupid
or keep it super simple 

486
00:24:35,500 --> 00:24:39,300
whichever one you prefer and 
it's you know it's basically a 

487
00:24:39,300 --> 00:24:42,400
pick your meat, you pick your 
protein, think you're fat and 

488
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,700
pick your vegetable and then how
are you going to cook it? 

489
00:24:44,700 --> 00:24:47,900
And that's basically what I do. 
It's those three items, it's not

490
00:24:47,900 --> 00:24:50,700
as difficult. 
As people think that it is, it's

491
00:24:50,700 --> 00:24:54,100
just kind of like my wife, the 
my poor poor wife when we got 

492
00:24:54,100 --> 00:24:56,300
married had no clue how to cook 
low carb. 

493
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,200
She Was a casserole Queen and 
it's like, sorry. 

494
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,900
I'm not eating it. 
You'll have to learn how to 

495
00:25:01,900 --> 00:25:04,400
adjust. 
Now, she comes up with stuff, 

496
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,800
you know. 
So it's again, it's it's too 

497
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:10,100
hard to, you know, we've been 
doing this long enough, I'll 

498
00:25:10,100 --> 00:25:11,900
come home, she's like, hey, what
do you think of this? 

499
00:25:11,900 --> 00:25:14,200
And oh by the way, you have to 
guess which of your spices I 

500
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:18,100
used in here, and I've had a 
couple of that was pretty good 

501
00:25:18,100 --> 00:25:22,700
and I, you know, wrote it down, 
added it to the, to my website. 

502
00:25:22,700 --> 00:25:24,900
So, hey, other people can now 
enjoy it. 

503
00:25:24,900 --> 00:25:27,700
How do you, how do you have? 
There's two different 

504
00:25:27,700 --> 00:25:28,800
directions. 
I won't take this have one on 

505
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,000
either. 
I want to dive into both. 

506
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:30,900
I want to dive into the 
business. 

507
00:25:30,900 --> 00:25:32,900
Then I was going to Diamonds 
like the actual culinary. 

508
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,100
You know, art of cooking and 
preparing food. 

509
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,000
It's simple art. 
But is it art nonetheless? 

510
00:25:39,300 --> 00:25:42,100
So what, what are some of your 
go-to is? 

511
00:25:42,100 --> 00:25:43,700
I mean, he's, he's hitting 
ground beef with a different 

512
00:25:43,700 --> 00:25:46,300
seasoning, but you know, what 
are some quick and easy, go to 

513
00:25:46,300 --> 00:25:50,900
techniques and and cuts that you
you gravitate towards for the 

514
00:25:50,900 --> 00:25:53,500
Beats. 
We generally stick with skin on 

515
00:25:53,500 --> 00:25:56,600
chicken thighs. 
They when we pay attention to 

516
00:25:56,700 --> 00:26:00,500
Whether on sale, you can get 
them for 60 to 70 cents a pound.

517
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,900
Buy it in bulk and freeze it 
ground beef. 

518
00:26:03,900 --> 00:26:06,700
Obviously, we love going with 
roast. 

519
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,500
Throw it in the Crock-Pot, put 
your foot, put a stick of butter

520
00:26:10,500 --> 00:26:12,600
and some spices on there. 
Come home, eight hours later. 

521
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,700
And you're done again, pay 
attention to one stuff's on 

522
00:26:15,700 --> 00:26:17,600
sale. 
You can get a good roast for 

523
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:23,100
299, 2349 a pound. 
I also like to get one bigger. 

524
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,200
Then we're going to use maybe 
twice as big for dinner that. 

525
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,900
Now I've got Leftovers for 
lunch, for myself, for the kids 

526
00:26:30,300 --> 00:26:33,300
and for my wife is a, a lot of 
leftovers are one of the best 

527
00:26:33,300 --> 00:26:36,800
parts of living key do because 
you just open the fridge ago. 

528
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:38,400
That's good. 
And you eat it. 

529
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:43,200
It's just left over from the day
before on occasion will do fork.

530
00:26:43,900 --> 00:26:47,600
And now with if you have a 
smoker, I love doing a pulled 

531
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:51,100
pork on a regular, on a 
semi-regular basis and some 

532
00:26:51,100 --> 00:26:51,900
ribs. 
Look good. 

533
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,700
What's your smoking technique? 
What kind of smoker to use? 

534
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:59,100
I have a Big design. 
It's not it's not a green egg 

535
00:26:59,100 --> 00:27:02,200
but it's one of those Acorn 
kamado style. 

536
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,600
So uses charcoal and would 
eventually I want to buy a 

537
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:09,900
pellet smoker just for the 
Simplicity but I've just not 

538
00:27:09,900 --> 00:27:11,900
there yet. 
It's I pay attention when 

539
00:27:11,900 --> 00:27:16,000
charcoals on sale and for the 
price, I paid for this smoker, I

540
00:27:16,100 --> 00:27:19,300
about stole it, so it works. 
Well, it tastes a little more 

541
00:27:19,300 --> 00:27:22,200
maintenance as compared to a 
pellet smoker but it holds the 

542
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,200
heat really well. 
And once I get it set, it's just

543
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,500
a matter of Keep an eye on it 
every couple hours to make sure 

544
00:27:28,500 --> 00:27:31,700
the temperature doesn't you know
swing too high or too low. 

545
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,400
Ironically I've got three pork 
butt sitting in the freezer to 

546
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,200
be smoked in two weeks for a 
church function. 

547
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,200
So I'm pretty sure I'm not going
to have any of that coming home 

548
00:27:41,500 --> 00:27:43,300
with us. 
No leftovers. 

549
00:27:43,300 --> 00:27:45,000
Yeah, no leftovers. 
No leftovers. 

550
00:27:46,100 --> 00:27:48,400
I love smoked meat smells like 
Smoked Meats. 

551
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,300
Are like, my that's what I 
gravitate towards hundred 

552
00:27:51,300 --> 00:27:54,300
percent. 
But I I've never used a pellet, 

553
00:27:54,300 --> 00:27:56,800
the pellet grill but I'm 
assuming that's probably the The

554
00:27:57,300 --> 00:27:59,300
for just ease of use to me, 
that's pretty much a set. 

555
00:27:59,300 --> 00:28:00,600
It and forget it technique, 
right? 

556
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:04,000
Like, you don't have to make 
sure your charcoal is or good. 

557
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,800
You just pretty much put it on 
the dial you need and then it 

558
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:08,100
come back when it's done. 
Basically, right? 

559
00:28:08,100 --> 00:28:09,000
Yeah. 
It has. 

560
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:13,000
Most of the, the better ones 
will have a thermometer that 

561
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,100
sets inside. 
So it'll it'll set the temper 

562
00:28:16,100 --> 00:28:20,000
and adjust and it'll also have a
probe, the go into the meat so 

563
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,900
you can sit there and check in, 
okay, what's the temperature of 

564
00:28:22,900 --> 00:28:24,000
the meat? 
12 hits? 

565
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,300
What you're looking for? 
You're done. 

566
00:28:26,700 --> 00:28:29,000
Actually, I was teasing Danny 
and he got rid of one of his 

567
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,600
smoker but those who don't know 
who I'm talking about. 

568
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,100
Danny Vega. 
And I tease them on Instagrams. 

569
00:28:34,100 --> 00:28:36,900
Like I'll take your old one but 
we live a couple of states away 

570
00:28:36,900 --> 00:28:39,400
and I didn't have the money. 
So they're went that idea. 

571
00:28:40,300 --> 00:28:44,400
He-he's get that a trigger and 
believe I think he loves it. 

572
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,100
So yeah with Bose is there 
difference in flavor? 

573
00:28:47,100 --> 00:28:50,200
Like because I mean I'm pretty 
hardcore traditionalist without 

574
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,300
with a lot of things is that 
like any any loss and flavor 

575
00:28:53,300 --> 00:28:56,500
whatsoever from with using that 
versus like a traditional smoke.

576
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,200
That will come down to the 
quality of the pellets that you 

577
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,000
buy, you buy cheap pellets. 
It's not going to taste as good.

578
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,400
But from what I've seen, and 
talking to other people, it's, 

579
00:29:05,500 --> 00:29:07,200
it's close. 
I mean, there are some people 

580
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,900
that are just, you know, I can 
always tell the difference, but 

581
00:29:10,500 --> 00:29:13,100
when you come, when it comes to 
weighing, okay, I've got to, 

582
00:29:13,100 --> 00:29:16,700
I've got to watch this all day 
or I can set it and forget it. 

583
00:29:16,700 --> 00:29:20,400
And there's a slight taste 
variation when you don't have 

584
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,700
time, just the slight difference
in taste, you know, he's not 

585
00:29:23,700 --> 00:29:26,500
going to outweigh the time that 
it takes because there are days.

586
00:29:26,700 --> 00:29:29,700
I'm if I'm going to smoke a 
brisket, I got to get up at 4:00

587
00:29:29,700 --> 00:29:31,900
in the morning, and I can't 
leave the house. 

588
00:29:31,900 --> 00:29:34,800
I've got to be home for the next
10 to 12 hours, to make sure. 

589
00:29:35,100 --> 00:29:37,200
I don't ruin the meat. 
Yeah, that's a. 

590
00:29:37,900 --> 00:29:40,800
That is quite the task for sure.
What about it. 

591
00:29:41,100 --> 00:29:43,000
So, with regard to the season, 
that's just kind of dive into 

592
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:44,700
those. 
You have how many different 

593
00:29:44,700 --> 00:29:48,300
seasoning varieties. 
Now, I think it's 37. 

594
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,500
I had, I just ordered for new 
ones that I quite literally was 

595
00:29:52,500 --> 00:29:54,700
putting on my website right 
before we started this. 

596
00:29:54,900 --> 00:29:58,200
So it's 35 to 37. 
Different, seasonings and 

597
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,300
spices. 
And how does that? 

598
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,800
How does that structure? 
Like the you basically just, you

599
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,500
know, combine these, you know, 
in your own kitchen, kind of 

600
00:30:06,700 --> 00:30:09,100
pick apart the flavor profile, 
figure out what you like and 

601
00:30:09,100 --> 00:30:12,000
then order based off of that or 
how does that set up. 

602
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,600
Actually there is the company 
that does all the work. 

603
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:18,600
The bottle me and everything for
me, the individual spices that 

604
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,000
they are what they are. 
So for example, cinnamon or 

605
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:25,200
granulated onion or garlic, or 
salt or pepper, they're just 

606
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,000
individual spices. 
This It's a matter of just 

607
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,700
labeling them with select Savory
seasons and going, but they also

608
00:30:31,700 --> 00:30:37,300
offer a couple, some sugar-free 
and additive-free blends. 

609
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,700
So, actually the Blends that I 
have right now where there's 

610
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,400
eventually when I have time, 
which I don't know. 

611
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:45,100
Is you understand? 
I'll ever have time with running

612
00:30:45,100 --> 00:30:47,600
my own business? 
The goal is to come up with some

613
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:51,700
other blends of more for the, 
the meat, smoking side of 

614
00:30:51,700 --> 00:30:54,800
things, combining different 
salts, and peppers, and garlic 

615
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,400
stew. 
Like for a brisket Get the salt,

616
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,600
pepper, garlic rub, that would 
be, is a couple things I've got 

617
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,100
in mind. 
So I have that option to do. 

618
00:31:03,300 --> 00:31:06,100
But right now, that's, they 
already had stuff that they 

619
00:31:06,100 --> 00:31:09,000
offer to people. 
And I took advantage of it and 

620
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:10,600
ran like it. 
I like it. 

621
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:14,300
Yeah, the trying to think, I 
think yesterday, I had the meat 

622
00:31:14,300 --> 00:31:17,800
seasoning that you sent with the
ground beef and I'm not sure 

623
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:19,600
what all that has in it. 
I'll top of my head but it's 

624
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:23,000
like that red based meat 
seasoning but it's absolutely 

625
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,700
delicious. 
Yeah, friend friend of mine, she

626
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:29,700
put that Some country ribs 
through in the Crock-Pot and the

627
00:31:29,700 --> 00:31:32,600
kids are like, Mommy, that's the
best you've ever cooked that and

628
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:36,500
I was teasing her that, well, 
really I cooked it but you know,

629
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,600
he just laughs - yeah, it was 
your spices I get it. 

630
00:31:39,700 --> 00:31:42,300
Yeah, I'm thinking man, like I 
need to, I've got an instant pot

631
00:31:42,300 --> 00:31:44,900
and I never really use an 
instant pot, except I use it 

632
00:31:44,900 --> 00:31:48,300
like, as a big bowl to suvi 
stakes in it, which is not what 

633
00:31:48,300 --> 00:31:51,300
the purpose is for it all, but I
need to start using that and 

634
00:31:51,300 --> 00:31:54,400
then just, you know, going back 
to Simplicity sake, you know, 

635
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,400
getting a row sticking it in 
there with that meat seasoned 

636
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,900
Going to be good to go. 
That's one of the devices. 

637
00:31:59,900 --> 00:32:02,900
I haven't gotten yet but from 
what I've read it's like within 

638
00:32:02,900 --> 00:32:05,200
an hour, you've got a whole 
roast that's just literally 

639
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,100
falling apart. 
I'm like okay that's next. 

640
00:32:08,100 --> 00:32:10,600
I got my sous vide. 
I've been playing with that. 

641
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:14,100
My wife is starting to love 
steak just because of that and 

642
00:32:14,100 --> 00:32:15,800
actually I did use that to make 
a roast. 

643
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:20,500
Also, how do you use the suvi? 
I just throw it in it, depending

644
00:32:20,500 --> 00:32:23,600
on the template I'm looking for 
135 to 140 5. 

645
00:32:23,900 --> 00:32:26,500
Cook it for a couple hours and 
then I'll heat the grill up. 

646
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:30,600
The Seer a little bit. 
I've tried using a cast iron 

647
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:34,100
pan, I don't know if it's me but
we always I always smoke out the

648
00:32:34,100 --> 00:32:37,100
family, doing it in a pan. 
So I just usually heat the grill

649
00:32:37,100 --> 00:32:40,400
up real hot and put some nice 
sear marks on the outside of it.

650
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,800
And I did the same thing that 
every time I was using the cast 

651
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,500
iron with the Su V State and 
smoke at the family. 

652
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:50,500
And by that, I mean people and 
then but it hurts me to get a 

653
00:32:50,500 --> 00:32:53,600
whole thing of charcoal going 
and have like enough charcoal to

654
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,300
grill, an entire meal, just to 
put it on there for like 30 

655
00:32:56,300 --> 00:32:57,900
seconds. 
Each side to get to see her. 

656
00:32:59,100 --> 00:33:02,700
And I've I have a gas grill for 
those quick times where the kids

657
00:33:02,700 --> 00:33:05,400
want burgers and dogs. 
Yeah, that makes sense. 

658
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,900
So that's why I just keep that 
thing up as hot as I can get it 

659
00:33:08,900 --> 00:33:10,800
and kind of roll it across as 
you go. 

660
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,300
So, you can see her and another 
hot spot and see her. 

661
00:33:13,300 --> 00:33:16,100
And I get those nice cross marks
on the outside. 

662
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,200
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 
It's an amazing cooking meat. 

663
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:20,900
I don't know, like, we're all 
Kyo here. 

664
00:33:20,900 --> 00:33:24,500
We all love cooking eating meat 
but it's like the imputed to 

665
00:33:24,500 --> 00:33:28,400
have a perfectly you know, 
playing Charred and seared 

666
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,200
steak. 
I mean it just it's hard to beat

667
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:30,900
that. 
Oh yeah. 

668
00:33:30,900 --> 00:33:34,200
Okay my mouths. 
Watering we need to stop. 

669
00:33:34,500 --> 00:33:38,500
Yeah, it's gonna be like the 
dine and dash podcast. 

670
00:33:38,500 --> 00:33:39,800
People going to listen to this 
thing. 

671
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,800
Go get something to eat. 
So talk about the businessman. 

672
00:33:43,100 --> 00:33:46,000
You've been doing this now. 
For how long in total, I think 

673
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:51,300
actually started the process 
started just over a year ago and

674
00:33:51,300 --> 00:33:54,000
then the actual product, 
probably launched. 

675
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,700
I think in it was May or June of
this year. 

676
00:33:56,700 --> 00:33:59,300
This year. 
So six to eight months is when 

677
00:33:59,300 --> 00:34:03,100
I've actually had product out on
the market and it's been it's 

678
00:34:03,100 --> 00:34:05,200
like anything. 
You gotta getting the tractions 

679
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,200
fun, getting your name out 
there. 

680
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:11,199
So I've been attending, local 
vendor events just to get people

681
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,400
to see and get to know. 
So I've got it's night, it's 

682
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,199
neat. 
I have some local customers that

683
00:34:17,199 --> 00:34:20,300
will call me every couple of 
weeks and say, hey, I need some 

684
00:34:20,300 --> 00:34:21,600
stuff. 
Can you maybe somewhere? 

685
00:34:21,699 --> 00:34:25,600
And then through different 
online, forums, low carb groups 

686
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,100
and stuff like that. 
There's a couple Where the the 

687
00:34:28,100 --> 00:34:30,400
people running the group of 
said, hey if you post whatever 

688
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:32,699
you want go ahead and promote 
your stuff. 

689
00:34:32,699 --> 00:34:37,400
We want you to be successful. 
So now that has helped out 

690
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,000
tremendously also. 
And again, it's it's really need

691
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:44,100
going to some of these low-carb 
support meetings and I was at at

692
00:34:44,100 --> 00:34:47,699
one this past Saturday lady lady
looks me, she goes for you Cory.

693
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,400
Yeah, Conklin yeah. 
Spice guy. 

694
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,199
Yeah. 
I love your spices as practical 

695
00:34:53,199 --> 00:34:55,199
man you before because it's 
really neat. 

696
00:34:55,199 --> 00:34:58,100
I know you've probably dealt Out
with that also where you just 

697
00:34:58,100 --> 00:35:00,500
and I'm getting used to it. 
It's like you've these people 

698
00:35:00,500 --> 00:35:02,900
come up to, you know, like hey 
thanks we appreciate what you're

699
00:35:02,900 --> 00:35:04,500
offering. 
It's been helpful to me. 

700
00:35:04,500 --> 00:35:05,800
Yeah. 
There's honestly nothing, 

701
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,800
nothing more rewarding than to 
be able to like make something 

702
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:13,100
that you believe in and stand 
behind for I mean, honestly, 

703
00:35:13,100 --> 00:35:15,600
just just for your own use more 
than anything. 

704
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,100
I mean, you made it because you 
saw a hole in the marketplace 

705
00:35:18,100 --> 00:35:20,600
you recognize that this is 
something that you could benefit

706
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,100
from. 
So you set out to make it but 

707
00:35:22,100 --> 00:35:25,900
then to have it benefit, not 
just you, but so many others 

708
00:35:25,900 --> 00:35:28,300
than have them. 
You that I mean, that is almost 

709
00:35:28,300 --> 00:35:30,600
like the coolest thing ever. 
Oh, yeah. 

710
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:32,400
I mean, yeah. 
I'll never get over it. 

711
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:34,500
So now, it would like you were 
asking about the business now, 

712
00:35:34,500 --> 00:35:38,800
it's just a case of building the
brand, which again, working with

713
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:41,700
Ken candy and on that, and 
trying to get, get the name out 

714
00:35:41,700 --> 00:35:44,700
there, reaching out to people 
such as yourself. 

715
00:35:45,100 --> 00:35:47,700
Now, I'll admit that was 
hesitant to reach out initially 

716
00:35:47,700 --> 00:35:51,100
just because I and I understand 
the thought process of hey, we 

717
00:35:51,100 --> 00:35:53,800
don't want people on just to 
push a product, because that's 

718
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:58,000
not the ultimate goal. 
But when you Had that request on

719
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:02,200
your 7 set Sunday or Monday? 
Whichever day it was but hey, 

720
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,500
I'm looking for sugar, free 
spices and looking for a sugar 

721
00:36:04,500 --> 00:36:07,200
free, deer jerky rub. 
I was like hey I think I can 

722
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,100
hook him up on this one and 
figured, you know, Now's the 

723
00:36:10,100 --> 00:36:14,100
Time to ask because you now have
the product, you've tried it and

724
00:36:14,500 --> 00:36:17,100
something I'll probably be doing
more with other people that are 

725
00:36:17,700 --> 00:36:19,500
in for the ones. 
Who are saying, hey we at least 

726
00:36:19,500 --> 00:36:22,200
give it a shot and see what you 
think and if you like it maybe 

727
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,200
we can work together for, you 
know, down the road and see then

728
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:28,000
that is huge man. 
Like I'm To double down on my 

729
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:31,900
influencer marketing strategy as
well, but, you know, finding 

730
00:36:31,900 --> 00:36:36,400
people in the space, you know, 
reaching out to them, you know, 

731
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:40,500
hitting them up, with a DM, or 
an email, put down the leg, work

732
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:44,200
getting product in front of them
and not seamen pushy or sales. 

733
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:48,300
Like so many companies, just 
send out a blast email or DM to 

734
00:36:48,300 --> 00:36:50,800
a bunch of people that registers
on a search engine, which is 

735
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:53,500
totally the wrong way to do it. 
But like actually going in, you 

736
00:36:53,500 --> 00:36:55,900
know, find these people's 
emails, you know, hitting them 

737
00:36:55,900 --> 00:36:59,800
up on the DM on Instagram, 
making it personal given them 

738
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,300
the time of day like that is, 
that is what it takes. 

739
00:37:02,300 --> 00:37:06,700
And the cool thing about it is 
since it takes effort, few 

740
00:37:06,700 --> 00:37:09,200
companies do it. 
So if you're one of the people 

741
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:12,500
that is the Hustler is a 
grinder, you go and do that and 

742
00:37:12,500 --> 00:37:14,400
it stands out. 
So you're going to get a lot of 

743
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,100
knows for sure. 
But I mean, you keep you keep 

744
00:37:17,100 --> 00:37:19,500
doing that and you keep pushing 
yourself and do so, in a 

745
00:37:19,508 --> 00:37:23,600
non-invasive, like, genuine way,
I mean, people want to see you 

746
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:24,800
succeed, like I want to see you 
succeed. 

747
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,700
That's why I was so glad. 
Get you on a podcast you know 

748
00:37:27,700 --> 00:37:30,100
like you've reached out to me we
correspond before you hook me up

749
00:37:30,100 --> 00:37:33,100
with the deer jerky seasoning. 
It's like, hey man, I want I 

750
00:37:33,100 --> 00:37:35,900
want to do whatever I can to 
make this work for you, you 

751
00:37:35,900 --> 00:37:36,400
know. 
Yeah. 

752
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:40,100
And like you said it's being 
genuine, it's being honest. 

753
00:37:40,500 --> 00:37:44,000
I mean everyone I reach out to 
it's like here's my story I try 

754
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:45,500
to keep it as concise as 
possible. 

755
00:37:45,500 --> 00:37:49,100
Here's why I'm offering what? 
I'm offering here's why I think 

756
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,600
I hope that you would like to at
least try my seasonings give me 

757
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:55,100
feedback at the very least if 
you do nothing else. 

758
00:37:55,100 --> 00:37:56,600
But you know, I've had several 
people. 

759
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,500
People in an that have said, 
wow, I love these. 

760
00:37:59,500 --> 00:38:01,500
How can we work together until 
I? 

761
00:38:01,700 --> 00:38:04,200
Some of us finalize? 
Well, I'll hold off as to who 

762
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:08,600
but I one of the mailing boxes 
is probably going to put at 

763
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:12,000
least a couple times next year. 
We'll have some of my stuff in 

764
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,200
there to help people out and 
say, hey, here's a new product. 

765
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:18,300
Give it a try and a couple along
with a couple of other big name 

766
00:38:18,300 --> 00:38:20,100
people that they like, this is 
amazing. 

767
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,700
How can we work? 
It's like anything once you get 

768
00:38:22,700 --> 00:38:24,600
out there. 
I mean, like, you know, you 

769
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,300
built your brand and then of 
course, When you launch your 

770
00:38:27,300 --> 00:38:29,100
keto brick, what everybody 
already knows who you are. 

771
00:38:29,100 --> 00:38:32,000
So now you've got the product to
go with it which by the way if 

772
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,800
you know somebody willing to pay
extra I have like one or two of 

773
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,800
the cinnamon left. 
I could sell for a price not 

774
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:41,100
just getting the black market 
for the brakes, man, that's 

775
00:38:41,100 --> 00:38:43,200
crazy. 
I've had I've seen people, I've 

776
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:46,800
seen people trying to sell the 
bricks on eBay for like double 

777
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:48,700
the cost, man. 
It's weird. 

778
00:38:49,900 --> 00:38:53,800
My people do some weird stuff. 
Yeah, it just people out there, 

779
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:55,900
try me. 
Now I want to make a buck but 

780
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,300
you know, There's a there's a 
right way and a wrong way to do 

781
00:38:58,300 --> 00:38:58,700
it. 
Yeah. 

782
00:38:58,700 --> 00:38:59,900
Kind of going back to that 
Integrity thing. 

783
00:38:59,900 --> 00:39:03,500
There's been several people here
lately that have made like 

784
00:39:03,500 --> 00:39:07,700
knockoff bricks, you know and 
tried to sell them on the market

785
00:39:07,700 --> 00:39:11,600
and like, you know, just just 
really shady stuff and I get 

786
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:13,200
that there's going to be 
competitive and actually make a 

787
00:39:13,207 --> 00:39:14,700
video on that. 
I'm going to talk about 

788
00:39:14,700 --> 00:39:17,100
competitors because competitors 
aren't bad. 

789
00:39:17,100 --> 00:39:20,300
Like it pushes you to, you know,
up your game and make sure that 

790
00:39:20,300 --> 00:39:23,600
you're on your toes and and 
hustling and not getting 

791
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:25,100
complacent. 
But the same time. 

792
00:39:25,500 --> 00:39:27,600
There's a difference between 
having In competitors in the 

793
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:31,800
marketplace and having people 
that are just so lazy and 

794
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,800
lacking in creativity that they 
try and replicate your thing. 

795
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,700
Exactly. 
And then show all disrespect to 

796
00:39:37,700 --> 00:39:39,500
you like that. 
I don't have time for. 

797
00:39:39,500 --> 00:39:41,000
Yeah. 
It's just it's true. 

798
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,300
Hey, I see something. 
Let me try to undercut it. 

799
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,900
It's like come on the a little 
bit of creativity and 

800
00:39:45,900 --> 00:39:49,000
forethought not just Bottom 
Dollar. 

801
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,600
How can I, how can I copy 
somebody else and make money? 

802
00:39:52,300 --> 00:39:54,700
Yeah, that drives me nuts and 
see honestly. 

803
00:39:54,700 --> 00:39:56,200
And this is going to be what I 
talked about in that video, I'm 

804
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:59,800
Amazed But even those people, 
you know, that are that are just

805
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:02,100
in it to make quick book, and 
get into the market, while 

806
00:40:02,100 --> 00:40:04,300
there's a hyper on a certain 
product, like the keto brick, 

807
00:40:04,300 --> 00:40:07,500
for instance, and, and leverage 
that traffic that I've 

808
00:40:07,500 --> 00:40:09,400
generated. 
And then play off of that. 

809
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:13,100
Like, those people can freaking,
you know, let it let him jump 

810
00:40:13,100 --> 00:40:14,700
in, let them, let them get what 
they came. 

811
00:40:14,700 --> 00:40:18,700
Because my people are loyal to 
me because I've, I've been here 

812
00:40:18,700 --> 00:40:21,200
from the beginning. 
When I had nothing, I put in the

813
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:23,800
work and I stayed up and put in 
the hours. 

814
00:40:24,100 --> 00:40:27,900
And that's why the people I have
Are there in the first place. 

815
00:40:27,900 --> 00:40:30,100
So yeah. 
You know these competitors that 

816
00:40:30,100 --> 00:40:32,000
are just in it for the 
short-term like they're never 

817
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,000
going to put in that work. 
They're never going to, you 

818
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,400
know, sacrifice the sleep. 
And the time to do that. 

819
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,500
So they're just going to be a 
flash in the pan then they're 

820
00:40:38,500 --> 00:40:40,700
gone. 
So let them be that flashed up 

821
00:40:40,700 --> 00:40:42,900
and let them lack and throw away
their integrity. 

822
00:40:43,100 --> 00:40:44,700
I'm going to be here long after 
they're gone. 

823
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,600
Yeah, they're going to dump 
their customers and run to the 

824
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:51,600
next, you know, big thing or 
then the next, you know, Buck 

825
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:56,200
basically that they're going to 
chase after, you know it people 

826
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:59,600
keep thinking Meanwhile keto May
Wane over time maybe as a name 

827
00:40:59,700 --> 00:41:01,200
but hey, we're still going to be
here. 

828
00:41:01,300 --> 00:41:03,600
We're supposed to be helping 
people and providing a service 

829
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:06,000
and or product that has 
long-term benefits. 

830
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:09,300
Not just like you said jumping 
in while it's hot and then 

831
00:41:09,300 --> 00:41:11,400
jumping out as it cools off. 
Yeah absolutely. 

832
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:13,600
I mean, Kita dakedo like 
everything else and everything 

833
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,700
else goes in waves there's gonna
be a time where Quito is not the

834
00:41:17,300 --> 00:41:20,600
typed word on the Internet by 
any means but I'm still going to

835
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:24,000
be key to because I recognize 
well it's done for me and the 

836
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:27,000
people that are you know like a 
lot of the people That I've 

837
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,700
gotten on the diet, like those 
to be a lot of companies will 

838
00:41:29,700 --> 00:41:31,600
disappear, but a lot of the 
people that have actually 

839
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:34,700
benefited from it and you know, 
they've lost weight, they've 

840
00:41:34,700 --> 00:41:37,100
experienced a transformation, 
they've improved their 

841
00:41:37,100 --> 00:41:40,800
metabolism or they've, you know,
kind of removed a lot of these 

842
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:44,000
diseases from their life. 
I mean, that they have no reason

843
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:45,400
to leave. 
So, they'll still be here. 

844
00:41:45,500 --> 00:41:48,300
Exactly. 
And I know we'll be here to help

845
00:41:48,300 --> 00:41:49,700
them. 
I mean, whether it's through 

846
00:41:49,700 --> 00:41:53,200
products with like bricks and 
Seasonings or stew Services 

847
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:55,500
through coaching, obviously you 
have a completely different 

848
00:41:55,500 --> 00:41:59,900
clientele Of coaching as 
compared to me and I'm not going

849
00:41:59,900 --> 00:42:03,300
to be able to to train somebody 
to do a show. 

850
00:42:03,300 --> 00:42:05,100
But I'll work, you know, I'm 
here to work with those people 

851
00:42:05,100 --> 00:42:07,900
that are like me who, you know, 
as the creative keto cook. 

852
00:42:07,900 --> 00:42:10,200
My goal is to help people who 
are sick and tired of being sick

853
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:14,200
and tired by showing them how to
Simply cook, good tasty food, 

854
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:16,100
that's good for them, so they 
can lose weight and feel 

855
00:42:16,100 --> 00:42:18,000
amazing. 
I know I want to help the people

856
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:22,500
that that they are now where I 
used to be and say, look, this 

857
00:42:22,500 --> 00:42:25,700
is where I'm at. 
You can get here, you can lose 

858
00:42:25,700 --> 00:42:29,300
weight. 
Can get stronger, it takes time,

859
00:42:29,300 --> 00:42:32,400
it takes effort. 
There will be pain involved but 

860
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,500
you can do it. 
Here's here's my before and 

861
00:42:34,500 --> 00:42:38,600
after I was not, I never 
exercised I can't say never 

862
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:41,700
there was one time for about a 
year I exercised a long time ago

863
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:45,900
and then that was it and now I'm
you know II know it's like 

864
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,700
earlier this year back to some 
of the benefits I was sitting on

865
00:42:48,707 --> 00:42:52,500
the couch I said words that I 
never thought I would say, I 

866
00:42:52,500 --> 00:42:55,700
need to join a gym and it wasn't
because I need to lose weight. 

867
00:42:55,700 --> 00:42:58,800
I had energy. 
I'm sitting there like I have to

868
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:02,900
expend this energy somehow and I
didn't join a gym. 

869
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:06,000
I found dr. 
Ted name and instead and 

870
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:09,500
exercise at home, and it's it's 
interesting seeing the body 

871
00:43:09,500 --> 00:43:13,900
change and adjust and all I'm 
using is my body to do it. 

872
00:43:13,900 --> 00:43:15,600
I'm getting stronger. 
It's amazing. 

873
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:18,500
Yeah, I mean and that's that, 
that's absolutely true. 

874
00:43:18,500 --> 00:43:20,900
You don't have to have, like, 
people like to paint, you know, 

875
00:43:20,900 --> 00:43:24,300
progress into these boxes. 
Like, in order to lose weight, 

876
00:43:24,300 --> 00:43:27,200
you have to join a gym and do X 
or you have to You do this. 

877
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:30,500
So this but I mean, you know, if
you're if you're pushing 

878
00:43:30,500 --> 00:43:34,500
yourself beyond your original 
Self perceived limitations, and 

879
00:43:34,500 --> 00:43:36,400
when you do that, you're going 
to be seeing progress, whether 

880
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:39,600
it's with your, you know, body 
composition, your nutrition, 

881
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:41,400
your business. 
I mean, whatever that may be 

882
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:46,600
just push yourself in some form 
or fashion and force a change in

883
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:48,800
the right direction and then 
you're coming out ahead. 

884
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:51,000
Wait, you know, a little bit 
every day and a little bit 

885
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,900
everyday compounded over years. 
That's what makes a difference, 

886
00:43:53,900 --> 00:43:54,900
you know. 
Exactly. 

887
00:43:54,900 --> 00:43:58,400
I mean, I like your point, Of 
your the points in your emailed 

888
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,600
this week on your training tip, 
you know, do what you can now. 

889
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:03,200
I know in your case you're 
referring to. 

890
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:04,600
Okay? 
I have to adjust because of the 

891
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:07,900
back pain. 
In my case it's it's you know or

892
00:44:07,900 --> 00:44:10,700
with other people who are just 
severely overweight do, what you

893
00:44:10,700 --> 00:44:13,800
can go for a walk, you got two 
feet. 

894
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,400
If all you can do is walk to the
end of the block and come home. 

895
00:44:16,500 --> 00:44:19,500
Do it do what you can. 
I can't do push-ups. 

896
00:44:19,500 --> 00:44:22,500
Okay, put your hands against the
wall and push the wall away from

897
00:44:22,500 --> 00:44:26,200
you eventually get to where you 
can get on your knees and do a 

898
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:26,900
push. 
Up. 

899
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:31,500
Do what you can by doing 
something over time. 

900
00:44:31,500 --> 00:44:35,200
You will get stronger. 
You'll get faster before you 

901
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:36,200
know what? 
You're going to turn around and 

902
00:44:36,207 --> 00:44:38,100
go. 
Oh my goodness, I'm losing 

903
00:44:38,100 --> 00:44:39,200
inches. 
And I'm gaining muscle. 

904
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:42,200
This is amazing. 
Just do what you can and people 

905
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:43,400
don't see that. 
Yeah. 

906
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:45,800
And then when that happens, you 
just you believe in yourself. 

907
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:49,000
Again, you become motivated and 
reinvigorated and then then you 

908
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,900
want to start doing this stuff 
that you previously dreaded, you

909
00:44:51,900 --> 00:44:53,500
know? 
Yep, exactly. 

910
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:55,000
I love it. 
I love it with koi. 

911
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:58,200
I'm definitely going to be a I 
love to sit here and talk longer

912
00:44:58,200 --> 00:44:59,700
man, but I'm not the cook some 
food, man. 

913
00:44:59,700 --> 00:45:02,400
You've got my mouth moderate 
water and right now that I've 

914
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:05,400
got leftovers, I just hope that 
the family didn't eat all the 

915
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:08,100
leftovers, or at least the ones 
I was looking for. 

916
00:45:08,100 --> 00:45:10,500
Hopefully I didn't go for the 
smoked brisket or something. 

917
00:45:10,500 --> 00:45:14,100
That'd be my first pick leftover
chili that actually had smoked 

918
00:45:14,100 --> 00:45:16,300
pork belly in it who they're 
still speaking of Chile real 

919
00:45:16,300 --> 00:45:18,400
quick. 
How do you how do you, how do 

920
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:22,000
you make your choice? 
I love chili but I mean all the 

921
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:26,200
chili recipes out there have you
know beans or obviously. 

922
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:27,400
Not kiddo. 
What? 

923
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:28,600
What is your, what? 
Forms? 

924
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:31,900
The base of your chili? 
I always Minds always a beamless

925
00:45:31,900 --> 00:45:34,200
chili and it depends on what I 
feel like doing. 

926
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:40,400
It's, I use our chili seasoning 
for the Heat and the spice, but 

927
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:43,500
like the one I just did I use 
leftover turkey from 

928
00:45:43,500 --> 00:45:45,100
Thanksgiving. 
That was in the freezer. 

929
00:45:45,500 --> 00:45:50,000
I had actually smoked some pork 
belly, but, you know, cook up 

930
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:53,700
bacon and then ground beef. 
I usually the I like three 

931
00:45:53,700 --> 00:45:58,400
different Meats in there and 
then, I like to do it the easy 

932
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:02,000
way, I'll just use it by two 
jars of marinara sauce, like 

933
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:05,400
mosquitoes or Rouse, that are 
there straight up tomatoes and, 

934
00:46:05,500 --> 00:46:08,900
and maybe some spices. 
So, there's like five carbs per 

935
00:46:08,900 --> 00:46:13,500
serving, dump them in throw them
in the Crock-Pot, from there. 

936
00:46:13,500 --> 00:46:15,200
It's okay. 
Which vegetables do you prefer? 

937
00:46:16,100 --> 00:46:19,400
I like onion. 
And maybe some pepper some 

938
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:23,000
yellow or red peppers or green 
peppers to add some color to the

939
00:46:23,700 --> 00:46:26,300
to the chili. 
You could use zucchini. 

940
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:30,300
You could put you could cut 
green beans, a little bit of 

941
00:46:30,300 --> 00:46:33,400
texture from there. 
It's a matter of okay, what 

942
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,400
would you prefer more than 
anything else? 

943
00:46:36,100 --> 00:46:38,000
I just I know some people all 
day. 

944
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:39,500
They love the texture of the 
beans. 

945
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:43,000
So that's or maybe a chicken or 
a turkey, can add some of that 

946
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:44,800
texture that you're not going to
get with a beef. 

947
00:46:45,300 --> 00:46:50,400
Very similar to a bean, but like
I said, hopefully, I still have 

948
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:53,300
some left in there, but that's 
what, that's what I did last 

949
00:46:53,300 --> 00:46:56,700
night through in the Crock-Pot. 
Let it simmer for, you know, Six

950
00:46:56,700 --> 00:46:59,900
to eight hours on low and it was
just a steamy yummy. 

951
00:46:59,900 --> 00:47:02,400
And with a 30-degree 
temperatures, we had it. 

952
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:04,300
Kept us warm too. 
Very nice, very nice. 

953
00:47:04,300 --> 00:47:06,700
So I'm gonna, I'm not make me to
it, and I think that's get me. 

954
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:08,700
Nice. 
Got me craving chili. 

955
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:10,000
Awesome. 
Awesome Okoye work. 

956
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:12,200
