 Hello comrades, so I've been in a freezer every day for the past few weeks And I figured the Russians would make some pretty warm hats as they're used to going cold and hungry with communism aka Socialism America heading in a similar direction except we will be eating bugs instead of stale bread and potatoes So I'm sure some of you guys were hoping that I was relaxing and feeling better But yeah, I've been you know physically and mentally exhausted these past few weeks more so than ever Adam is no longer with Frankie's Fee Range meat, and I kind of want to keep the story quiet and Use it as one of the negotiating points with the lawyers And I'll see how that does go over the next week or two, but so far he's been incredibly aggressive immediately hiring a lawyer making ridiculous demands and I wouldn't be surprised if I'm going Into details in a matter of days, and it's really a reflection of his true behavior and intentions Definitely not to my surprise Now that he's not down here and has no access to the money coming in the company is suddenly profitable Who would have guessed I did wait a little longer than I should have to let him go Two main reasons one is that I've been physically sick from the iron overload Liver problems second I hope my parents were going to back up the loan I was applying for so I'd be able to purchase that slaughterhouse Just relocate everything kind of you know start fresh and despite those two negatives I am excited where I've taken this business in less than two years and I think I'm the only person that can genuinely change the food system we're currently working with and As I've said these past few weeks. I've been down here every single day It's not too much work, but you know seven days a week is not fun You know all I'm doing is working sleeping eating on occasion Which I don't mind but this added stress of the lawsuits the gang stalkers I can't trust anyone is it's just adding way too much stress at the moment It does look like I can run the physical end of the business on my own It's just more than I'm willing to kind of take on so I do need to hire and train some staff Just so I don't completely lose my mind. It could definitely be worse But I've been left with some sort of nightmare after calling up our suppliers our farmers I found out Adam had cut ties with them months ago. Obviously incredibly suspicious so they stopped producing the animals and products to our specifications and Unrelated to that, you know meat prices have gone up as most of you have probably noticed as high as 30% And you know, I was looking online the past few weeks and people are selling ground beef for 10 $11 a pound, which to me is crazy You know, especially considering that we sell it for $8 and 50 cents plus free shipping You know, I guess they're using the crisis as an excuse to make more money And I actually wrote this script a few weeks ago Since then I have worked out some supply issues and it does look like things are going to be okay moving forward At least for now. The thing is that slaughterhouse would have basically tripled my profit Probably more to the point where you know, this business would be very very lucrative And I just don't have the liquid capital to do it I can open a West Coast location right now to also drastically increase profit as I spend an incredible amount on Shipping to California those West Coast locations Utah, Washington Unfortunately due to the lack of reliability of the farmers the distributors. I'm kind of stuck You know the upfront cost of that slaughterhouse is significant enough that I can't do it and it would transform my ability To provide you guys with a variety of cuts Freshly slaughtered meat on a more consistent basis, especially value-added products bacon jerky sausages That I can practice my culinary expertise with you know I can be there and oversee all daily operations myself Make sure the quality control of course is perfect Unlike a farm or a West Coast shipping hub, you know, I can afford those two ladder options right now The West Coast location is so much cheaper that my parents would actually be able to lend me the money to do it But you know without the reliable source of meat from a slaughterhouse You know raised to certain standards, you know combined with me not having anyone reliable to run those other operations You know, they're 100% out of the question right now You know, I've spoken about the dairy the eggs, you know all these products I want to do for you guys But if I can't have it all in one spot or I'm there every single day You know as the catastrophe with my business partner has been It's just not gonna work at this point I can't count how many times I've said it, but I really don't want to do this You know, I always joke about being on the beach with some Russian girls. It's not like I can't make that a reality This is just how I see I can make the biggest impact on improving the health of as many people as possible through providing high quality animal food and You know just how I am where my morals are, you know, if I'm not here to be of service to other people You know to me enjoying stuff myself isn't isn't really Not really in the playbook, you know, we're selling meat right now Distributing hopefully in the near future we can slaughter the animals ourselves have more control over the entire operation And then we can even have enough land to raise those animals ourselves and do things that no one else is doing at incredibly Unbelievable price points if we haven't done that already now that being said, you know We still have most beef cuts anyone would want access to you know I have the Ibarico pork back in and I'm actually going to try to launch wild boar this week You know what? I'll I'll try to get it up for this video for you guys if you want to check out the wild boar I'm trying to get my hands on more cuts of venison as well. Hopefully in two months or so So, you know full steam ahead with the business You know kind of dealing with the cards in my hand right now You know spring is just around the corner So I'm going to be reaching back out to those Amish farmers as you know much of a nightmare as it's been To see if I can find someone willing to do the dairy and the eggs for us I did speak to some local Creameries as well as egg suppliers, and I wasn't too happy with the response you know the quality of their product the price points they're asking but you know, I keep saying You know just just a couple more months just another year or two and things are going to pan out and it'll be worth it, but I've already basically lost my mind so Yeah, I didn't really address not doing a video for a month or I think even like a month in a week now Which is kind of unheard of for me, you know, it's just how I felt every day Just didn't really care at all and I still don't really you know I was supposed to do this video two weeks ago I wanted to take two weeks off YouTube then if it came three weeks then four weeks then five weeks And I wasn't going to even film this today. I was gonna wait till Wednesday. I just don't really care I've been delaying it but you know even when I've been absent from YouTube people are still placing a lot Of orders there, you know, they do see the value in my businesses and I am providing a product and I Don't really know how I could walk away from that right now So I'll try to get you guys some more updates some more vlogs over this week Especially we'll be doing more focus on the products and now some of you guys might be thinking I look different or something something's up But I just bought a new camera because my other camera basically broke I wasn't working when the room was like below 45 degrees So maybe I'll get canon to fix that camera and we could do a giveaway, but not not to drag this video out too long You know, thank you guys for watching as always Drop a like on the video Subscribe so that YouTube can unsubscribe you next week and above all, please share the video Let everyone know what's going on, you know sign up for the newsletter on Frank test upon calm Frankie series meet calm and I'll see you guys tomorrow for Something not as positive I guess You
