 How are you guys today? We are down at Frankie's free-range meat, and I'm feeling a little better. It's around noon I got up at 4 a.m. To film yesterday's video, which was about the Colorado meat act, you know came down here at around 7 feel like I was gonna die for an hour or two and I was thinking you know if my supplements Actually work then now let me actually take them because I usually have been feeling pretty good lately I don't need any pick me up or anything, but I went down I grabbed an antioxidant support and a vitamin B complex and just within you know literally a minute of taking them I felt so much better and the vitamin B complex is basically all of the B vitamins that naturally occur in meat and the antioxidant support is the natural antioxidants in your body that are created by B vitamins, so Glutathione, NaCetylcysteine, some ascorbic acid for vitamin C all of those are absorbed very quickly even like in the oral cavity So I feel okay now. Obviously. I don't feel like a million bucks. It's not a cure-all, but I feel substantially better than I did Earlier I was about to have my lunch and I kind of wanted to go over a couple of things today You know not really focused too much on the negatives, but just outline, I guess, simplistically what The vision and where I see this business going I mean I feel like I haven't even done five ten percent of what I like to do I have so many ideas in my head that I I don't even want to really share what I'm gonna share today, but Might as well But I'm sure you guys want to see my lunch because I haven't done a day of eating in a little while And that's what you guys have been asking for so I only do this like once a week Just because it's a pain to pack up a lunch and I only really need it when I'm doing a lot of physical labor And I get tired so here. I actually have the a venison and barley stew with mushrooms and onions some red wine some beef broth There's my cookies Here I have some digestive enzymes and this is my water key for all bottled up So have everything I need to you know keep my gut healthy digest the food properly Carbohydrates protein fats everything I need to keep going now I try to focus on the future and what this is going to be because if I just look at what's going on right now It's like a mess. You know all of our vendors got cut loose months ago I'm having a hard time procuring products and the vendors that are getting me products, you know the farms whatever It's almost like they're throwing me the stuff they don't want because they'll literally send me stuff I didn't order they'll send me the incorrect stuff. They'll send me expired stuff and Unlike other meat companies. I don't pass this on to my customers. I'll take the loss myself or I'll Try to deal with the vendor, but I'm not in a position where I can just tell the vendor, you know to go fuck themselves which I would love to do but you know in the future if you know you have Built-up relationships with farmers and whatever and something goes wrong something happens with the animal It's mutually understood, you know with these larger corporate Farm conglomerates and some of the places I have to purchase meat from not all of them You know some of them are okay. It's just it's not fun because I Not high enough volume right now for them to really get me products. I want Get me deals do things, but do have a couple new products I'm excited about and and the reason I'm talking about those negatives is because That's the main reason I need To get a full slaughterhouse up and running to get a farm property To really offer people the highest quality beef pork and chicken Raised naturally to the highest standards fresh meat on a weekly basis And I think we want to even like wrap everything in paper and avoid as much plastic as possible Obviously no antibiotics no negatives in the animal feed We don't want to spray the carcasses with any acid washes or anything Just just really how it should be done and something that no one else is doing when you have control over everything like that when you're able to Have it from the animal slaughter to the processing I don't have to worry about running out of beef liver and beef kidney this week I don't have to worry about where I'm getting marrow bones and again if something goes wrong with the animal with the product I have recourse. I can go to another farmer. I can go to someone else, but now I'm in kind of a tough spot So I guess in order of steps as much as I would like a west coast location as I spoke about you know last week I can't be in two spots at once now the slaughterhouse that I get it is probably going to be one that was already operating So it's going to be a pretty quick transition over But it's definitely going to take a few months to work out the kinks get farmers raising the animals the way we want them and Sort that stuff out Then I'd really like to move into the value-added products that my customers have been wanting like a bacon charcuterie Sausages hot dogs just kind of really perfect that beef pork and chicken elements and I would assume at least six months a year into the slaughterhouse being operational I can purchase the farm to do the dairy and the eggs and Once all of that stuff is together and and running and we have a really good base of high-quality product to offer people That's where I can look into doing other things such as expanding a west coast location and there's definitely some creative ideas from a culinary perspective as well as Some kind of charity stuff. I would like to do but you know, I don't want to jump the gun and You get ahead of myself with too many things despite the negatives with the vendors I do have some products. I would like to show you guys here So these are products that are either new or I really like for one reason or another This is just Really really fresh chicken, you know literally slaughtered last week. We pack it up. We freeze it These two are just portion really nice. This is actually Flat iron steak four ounce portion and these are beef short ribs 12 ounce portion, which are really really convenient This is wagyu chuck steak and not all of them look like this, but this is a very affordable and Delicious cut that you won't experience anywhere else and I mentioned last week. We have the wild boar in these are actually the wild boar bellies You know no one's offering Variety of Prada like this at the prices we are I forgot to show you guys we do have All the flavors of the best bars in stock. We have berry chocolate vanilla extra chocolate I was actually going to do a sale because I've been trying to Produce a lot of these and get them out there because people really enjoy them but maybe next week what makes things so difficult is people will come to you just because you have one product or two products and Once you don't have that product or once you miss it for a couple weeks No, they'll go in and order from somewhere else. So as much as I'm saying I want to Expand to the slaughterhouse expand to this expand to that The reality of what's going to happen is you know the order volume is going to increase substantially I would assume at least two three four five fold By the time I get to where I want to be and by then I'm assuming you know the goals and the next steps are going to be bigger and bigger and bigger It's just you know unfortunate that it hasn't happened already, especially you know where the current food system is Just looking around at what everyone else does and the prices they charge for everything. I really don't get it But you know since I'm down here kind of every day. I think I'm gonna do a vlog like this At least once a week. I'm honestly, you know, I'm not too happy about my attitude today. I'm not too happy about The way things are going. No, I'm Said earlier. I'm completely exhausted. I'm going half crazy I'm not paying attention with half the stuff I'm doing but I'm just gonna try to make it work for now, you know, just too much stuff going on the supplement company the Wi-Fi shielding the Frankie's naturals Frankie's rearrange meat Consultations speaking of that. I don't even want to do consultations anymore because it's just a bunch of secret society Crooks trying to steal my ideas. I actually stopped doing consultations because of that And I could increase the price. I don't want to talk about that today, but Hopefully this gives you guys an idea of what's going on I'm trying to find some staff and get some help down here. My dad was actually helping me a couple days I just had a couple guys down here once to try them out train them and you know, people aren't showing up for work You know, and you know, if I knew they weren't gonna show up I could have came in earlier the previous day to make up for but Whatever so check out the products, let me know if there's anything that you guys would like us to get But I'll say that I'll see you guys for tomorrow's video
