00:00Walk us through that journey as well because you hear some people say like I
00:04got a hundred thousand dollars to start my business and other people said I
00:09started my multi-million dollar business with a hundred and fifty dollars in the
00:12bank and it's like well house way like I have a hundred fifty dollars but I don't
00:19know if that is gonna turn into million dollar company like how does that work
00:24for you guys for for honeypot I had Simon who is my co-founder and brother who
00:35gave me like a capital one credit card but it's real it's real and because when I
00:45got started I didn't I didn't like just go to market I had to test and make sure
00:52that my product worked for more than just me so for two years I basically
00:58just asked women to try my products on their vagina which you know were you just
01:04like handing them out in the street no I worked in Whole Foods okay and I I worked
01:13in whole body and my team knew about my vagina problems and so because they were
01:19helping me to try to solve them and then when I figured out how to solve it they
01:23would send people to me like I was like the vagina lady it was hilarious and and
01:28so I would like help them and do all the things and sell things from Whole Foods
01:32into their basket and then I would say can I take help you out to your car and I
01:37like give them a little wink and then I would like talk to them about this
01:41product that I had and it had worked for me and all this stuff and you know you
01:45know I'm kind of running my own little trial and I'd love to see if you would
01:48try it and most of them were like sure I'll try it you know other ones were
