 Welcome, welcome to the trap. Alright man. J-O-N, you ready to get this started? Cause look, I gotta ring the bell and let another black mug in. It's always that time of the month. It's literally that time of the month. Now look, I don't have much commentary on the subject today. I'm gonna do a lot of listening. There you go. This is not my area of expertise at all. My man. Well, first of all, we have Melan and Demion Crump today in the trap. The owner's and creator of Jewel Pads. Give me some game. I don't know nothing about this. Well, a lot of people, man, they blown away when they find out a man is behind a female product like this. A very intimate female product. Absolutely, absolutely. But obviously, females have cycles every month. Women have cycles every month. So that's one of the things we wanted to get into in our entrepreneur endeavors. We wanted to get in a necessity field. You know, something that you didn't have to keep reselling over and over again. And we created a better mousetrap for women and young girls monthly that's on their cycles and that we're panty liners. Because our products contain a Nobel Prize winning material, our absorbency system. And we've had a lot of success because we demonstrate and we show people how good it is versus telling them. And that's been our secret sauce that's been putting us over the hump. Secret sauce? Yes, sir. Yes, sir, man. It's been a blessed business, man. Bad, man. How did this come about? Well, actually, some guys called me to come to Tampa. You know, I'm always looking for new ideas, investments. And they called me and they said, man, you need to come see this. The best thing they could have done, they never told me what it was. So I'm glad they did it because I wouldn't have went. They did it and told me, Santa Terranapolis, man, come on, I'm going to hang up the phone. And they said, just trust me, come see this. So I went down to Tampa, Florida and when they pulled out the pad, I was about to get up and walk out. Because obviously I got a wife and three daughters, so I'm familiar with Santa Terranapolis. And some say, stay here and watch. They did the demonstration, blew me away. I said, we just changed the world for women. When I saw that demo of the product, we took it and we never looked back ever since, man. We took things to the next level with it. You've never been lost for words, man. I've been watching your children. This is education for me. Yeah, man. So it's been really, really good with it. I never expected this. Yeah. This is crazy. It's surprising because a lot of people don't realize that, first of all, women are your biggest consumers. That's number one. And when you have a product, a necessity product that's catered to women, you got a grand slam and especially something that helps keep them comfortable and dry during that time of month. And actually even my mother, for example, my mother is 81 years old, but she wear our panty liners every day. See, these are things that they do. And this has been a truly corporate dominated space. You know, your big major Fortune 500 company. I mean, literally they make billions of dollars off of Santa Terranapolis and panty liners. And as minorities, nobody would have ever thought to look in this arena. Right. So right now we are the only 100% African-American-owned Santa Terran African and panty liners in the world right now. Yeah, in the world, man. Hey, what's up? It's Carlos Miller here. Are you in the mood for some pizza, maybe a juicy chicken sandwich or some street tacos from your favorite local restaurant?

What's the difference? The difference is we have a Nobel Prize winning material called Graphene. The two gentlemen that discovered Graphene in 2004, they won the Nobel Prize for it in 2010. So people thought we were losing our mind. Like, dude, you're putting a Nobel Prize winning material in something women are going to discard and get rid of, but they underestimated the lives of these women out there, man, because a lot of our wives, our daughters, our granddaughters, we don't realize what they go through monthly. For example, as a man, if I be transparent, my wife handled all that. I didn't know nothing about what she went through, my daughters went through. You know, as a man, you know, we waiting on a girl, come on, when you're going to be finished, you know, waiting on that little week to go by or whatever the case may be. And it wasn't until I got educated, when I started going all around the country, all around the world, I've been a unique Jamaica Trinidad. I'm talking about in terms of doing what we call focus groups. And I started understanding with these women and these young girls going through, it was bringing tears to my eyes. And I'm like, man, they're literally out there destroying our women. For example, in the United States alone, man, we have 600,000 hysterectomies that are done every year on average, the majority of them black women. Because now doctors can't figure out why they cramped so bad and different things that they do, so they're literally just yanking these kids and these children wounds out. They can't have kids, but it's all because of the chemicalization of these tampons and sanitary napkins that they have on the shelves. After we've done our research and doctors have educated us. So now for us, man, we are God sent for a lot of women. I mean, the testimonies, the business that we're getting is mind-blowing. On now, we've changed the game for them because now they do have a better solution and they don't have to go through the solid suffering that they deal with on a monthly basis, man. What's this box you got right here? That's right there. It's just a sample box of our product, meaning that in terms of how it looks, it has our branding and our logo on it. Now obviously, we have product for the audience and you know, you, if you're having a woman in your life that you love and care about to bring home to them. I don't know what sad pussy she with her. He said no. No, let me show you. And this is our packaging. We got to show the packaging now. We got to show the packaging now. And that's another thing, too. We wanted to make sure we did a first-class job and stand out in terms of our look. I mean, this is beautiful. As they know we have. This is real nice. You know, so we have our, you know, that's our best seller you're holding. That's the top seller right there. The moderate flow. It's called our moderate flow. That's what I got. It's our panty liners without wings. No, this is for keeping the real moderate in light. You feel me? Heavy flow. And the women call these the Wakandas. This is our overnight. Big, long, yeah. No, no, no. That's for the 350s. Yeah, that's the, that right there is a pad that really does wear. Yeah, man. This is crazy. So we bless with our success as a company. We just opened up a brand new 14,000 square foot headquarters in McDonald's. George on the south side. Yeah, man. We've, we launched the company June 1st, 2019 and on a $6 product, we've done over $7 million in revenue, man. That was something. So we bless, brother. Yes, sir, man. We bless with it, man. Say that. What's up, man? What you doing? You know, just here. Just here. Learning to. You here to support your dad? Yes. Yes, I am. That's what's up. That's the president of logistics, man. She get everybody, their product, all the women, because currently right now we've serviced over 500,000 women so far in the United States. Let me get my shark tank on. So who's your biggest, who's your biggest customer right now? Biggest customer? I'm glad you asked. Yes. You won't believe it. I will. You ready? I will. Yes. The Amish. 65% of our revenue come from the Amish. Yes, we've been up there. How did you all make the connection? Well, there's actually an African brother. And that's another thing. That's another fun fact. We have more men ambassadors of his product than we do women. So an African man, his wife used the product up in Centerville, Michigan. They had some Amish connections with some of the influential people in the Amish community. They went, gave them samples of the product. The women used it, came back, figured, hey, we need to get your CEO, the guy up here they brought me up there. Had a room full of Amish women. Did the demonstration, shared the vision. Man blew up like wildfire. And they have just, they purchased, I'm talking about, they purchased 25,000 packs. 10,000 packs. It's ridiculous how much of this product that they buy and they back and they get behind us. But the majority of our revenue comes from Amish. 65% currently right now. Now we've been up there four times. We just got back from, well last month, we were in Ship Shawana, Indiana. Never heard of that. Yeah. On the horse and buggy, everything man. They came and got you on. What's up y'all? How you doing? I'm just playing as Carlos Miller here. There are a lot of things to stress about in the world, but figuring out what the cook shouldn't be one of them. Take the stress at a meal time with a meal kit from our sponsor. Hello Fresh.

Go to hellofresh.com slash blackmarket14 and use the code blackmarket14 so you can get up to 14 free meals and three free gifts. I'm putting you on game right now. On the horse and buggy. No, we flew in. We drove to them. But while we were there, we rode the horse and buggy, ate with them, visited our land. You know, they good at furniture and craftsmen, did all of that. Actually, we got a big event here in October. We got the, we had the porch building by the airport, the North American headquarters. We rented it out for two nights. They're all coming in. You bring in all the Amish people. Not all of them. Some of them are coming. Oh, you mean it's okay. Some of them are coming in for an event we having at the porch. You made it sound like they were, I think they're probably all coming. No, no, no. Not all of them. Probably. It's only about 10 of them coming. We have 700 people coming in, but it's only about 10 that's coming. Oh. What was it like over there in the Amish community? It was amazing, man. We were... Relaxing. Yeah, sitting down. That's what I actually said. It's a different world because they don't deal with technology. They own a lot of land. They're into farming and they're into furniture. That's like two of their key things that they do, just learning about their history, sitting down with them. And keep in mind, we black. So, you know, now... Keep in mind. Yeah. Like Africa. Yeah. So, we there as blacks with these people and just sitting with them, and I'm really... I'm blowing away how they have accepted us and the fact that they don't have a problem that a black family owns this product and this company and they are pushing it the way that they are is mind-blowing to us. But it shows the favor, man, that we have on our lives. We bless with it. That's what's up, man. Well, where can they find the product online? Well, they can actually go to rain, R-E-I-G-N, rainpads, ads.com, go to rainpads.com, and you can go right there. And actually, if you live in Atlanta area, you can click pick up and you can literally come out of headquarters and pick it up. Or if not, then we can obviously mail it to your front door. But we have a lot of people that swing by the corporate headquarters and pick their products that live in the area. Well, I guess it only makes sense for me to ask this lady why the ladies should switch to this product. What would you tell them? It makes a huge difference. You're talking to them. I ain't even listening. I'm over here with you, Dan. Man, tell them. It makes a huge difference because a lot of the products that sold in the stores, it does contain harmful chemicals. And once you transition to our pads, you get to see and feel the difference. Your period is not as longer and it isn't as harsh. The cramping, your mood swings, literally I went from seven days to three. So literally in and out, no pain. My damn self. Exactly. Just in case I meet the right one. Yes. So you definitely feel a difference when you use rain pads. How do women feel about their men showing up with pads and shit? They love it. They love it. You'll be blown away how women, when you're getting in front of the room and we're doing, like I said, we do focus groups. A lot of times I'm doing the presentation. Okay. So literally, like at our corporate office, we have a conference center in there with chairs where people come in and we educate them about what my daughter was talking about during the demonstration and women are blown away because they're feeling like, okay, wow, finally, men are sensitive to this arena. Because remember, we wasn't dealing with it. We didn't, we wasn't paying attention to it. I didn't know. I knew they wanted us to deal with it. Me neither, man. Had I known that they wanted us to show up with the necessities. Yeah. And they love it, man. And they love themselves a lot of trouble, probably. They love it. The fact that they feel like we care now and it's something that we're concerned about. And then you're educating us because my dad was the one to tell me that the product that I'm using is actually cards and more harm. That's a good day. That's the part they ain't going to say nothing about. I've been looking out for you, baby girl, man. Absolutely, man. Stomping it up on the gold mine. What were you doing before this? Actually, we've been entrepreneurs since I got out of the Navy in 94. Okay. So I'm from New Orleans. I had a mobile detailing service. I flipped houses. I promoted concerts. Man, UNESCO, Rolex watches. You did. Yeah. I was lending off good times, man. Open my jacket. I do it. Yeah, I got it. I got plenty. I got it. Right, man. So that's who I was. And Hurricane Katrina brought us here. Yeah. So I came here with my wife and my four kids. I got a son as well with two days worth of clothes. And my thing was, I wasn't looking for a job. I was looking for the business. So I wanted to know what the movers and shakers was, started networking, going to events, just making my bones here, man. And I'm always looking for that next idea and found this. And this is obviously the best business I've ever been in in my life. Yeah. Well, I wish you mother's success. And whatever y'all want to see from the black market over there in 85 South, you got it, man. Man, thank you for having us, brother. Thank you again, man. Appreciate you, man. Thank you, brother. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Hey, man, you got to ring the bell. Let them turn the black market and open. Excellent spotlight, man. The black market. We right here. We out of here. 85 South.
