 We are down at Frankie's free-range meat. It's a bit late today around 3 p.m. I was working earlier doing stuff for YouTube stuff for my business and these guys have been down here packing orders since about 7 a.m. Main perk of having an actual facility is a lot less grunt work So you know we have the pallet loaded up with all the orders instead of hand trucking You know three to four over once. So here's a pallet UPS guys load in the truck They got another pallet here with more orders We've got some pretty large orders here. This is probably four to five hundred dollars at least bunch of stuff still everywhere we have Commercial fridge that we're gonna get installed What was that uh Is that a better option than the walking? He left that here We got a fridge What it's what do you mean? It's 59 degrees. That's why he didn't charge us for it Just storage right now. It's not even to be ready. We got some more cod liver in from Brooklyn import It's really loud in here. You guys can still hear that but it was much louder previously Not nearly as bad So we have a bunch of shelves in the freezer now It's still a bit of a mess because we have most of the meat at the other Facilities still, you know, we're still kind of safe. They're still packing things up there We just take the stuff over here to fill orders on the day off This is just a bunch of finlandia water we have for you guys that uh, it's good for cooking overall We're happy with the facility how things are going our website our inventory Every month we're making a lot of progress and building this into a business. We're really proud and happy of But let's talk to Adam Let's get like the whole story on the contractor situation And we'll also talk about how our website got hacked two weeks ago And I was up all night for like three days fixing it You want to you want to give them the whole story on the contractor situation? We never updated them. Everyone's asking Hi, I'm a broken man On top of what happened the other week with the website being hacked That actually to me is more amazing This this company is not a small company. They're logistics and inventory company for multi-million dollar businesses and they crippled our website caused it costing us thousands of dollars in sales over the course in several days and The response has been totally lackluster. I think they had an inside man That didn't like me. I don't like to ride on those trains, but to be honest you go with the thing It's more likely are we the only company that they do that they just randomly permanently deleted over 60 items from that's the only real Reasonable possibility. I mean come on that's that is a bigger coincidence than someone was like Someone told me that was the possibility with the contractor to so we started with the what was it the $27,000 contract What was the initial contract for? 38 yeah, so the guy came in really low said he could do the job for 38,000 and Then you kind of held us hostage, right? Yeah, so the the big point that I want to make is The most important thing was for us to get a freezer up and running So yeah, you don't pay a contractor till the job is completed, right? But what if I'm sitting here with a hot box and he's saying if I give him another $10,000 he'll have the box up and running to me That's kind of a no-brainer We got quoted a lot higher from the other guys too and it's yeah, it's not like it was out of the ballpark of reason It's just the thing that's so frustrating is that we agreed to something and he didn't follow through but the point is is that If I hadn't done what I needed to do we wouldn't have had a freezer I mean the business basically would have closed because our other facility couldn't support what we were doing We didn't speak to any lawyers yet. I'm gonna try to give some more as a poll next week I don't know about the people support stuff and even if we did speak to a lawyer I don't know if it's worth at all with the likelihood of even collecting money from this guy's But he was just writing up new contracts every every week basically He yeah, they brought a new one when the police arrived It was a whole brand new one that I hadn't even seen yet And he would get torn apart and poor but then the question is going to get money from what was this like two weeks ago? To yet two weeks ago. No must have been Thursday night because I was doing a live stream and Yeah, someone on the live stream commented Frank what happened to all the products on on the Frankie's rearrange me website and I was like, what do you mean? We have beef liver and stock and You know, I let the live stream go for a little bit and I check my emails real quick and some more people on the live She were asking me where the products went so I said a whole lot of second I go on the Frankie's rearrange me website I go to the admin panel and half of the products are gone So I like I kind of flipped out I ended the live stream quickly and I called up Adam and I was like what's going on? And he had no idea what was going on either. No, and then I'm freaking out because Frankie's like we're all the products What did you do? What did you do? Tell me what you did? I'm like, I don't know what's going on We loaded up. I start swearing screaming at Frankie. No, so this is what happened so we were screaming at each other on the phone because I Remembered that he talked about Kyosu to do the inventory and I was like We didn't give them store access. So I was kind of screaming at him like how did how did they get store access? They don't have store act they didn't have access to our our web page our development or anything and just by installing the app for some reason on wordpress They were able to go into our store and delete the products So we don't know if there was an inside man at Kyosu, which is a KY OZ OU. It's like this. What is it? Canadian inventory logistics and shipping company so what probably happened was a vegan over at Kyosu Went on our website deleted literally half of our products and it was probably 80 products and descriptions inventory pricing pictures Reviews all of that stuff was completely deleted forever. Yeah from from a web development perspective That would cost probably $10,000 to fix And all the lost sales and then and then plus their official opinion is that the app was not able to do what happened Because when I asked them how why are you doing products? They said it's not our on our end because that's not possible But luckily Shopify logged who had deleted them and when that was our only proof that They had even done it. Yeah, so on the Shopify log. There was Kyosu Deleted, you know, just a whole list of products. I kind of went down the list recorded what was missing and I Was I was awake all night for like three nights just Getting the the products back up like one night. I got all the products up with the picture the next night I did all the descriptions. So, you know, 20 30 hours of work just grunt work on the computer You know, it wasn't the end of the world But if I had to pay a web developer to do that if I didn't know how to do that myself We would have been in in definitely in a bad situation and thankfully The reviews were saved on the the review program. So we did have the reviews So the only thing we lost was the sales data, which is the sales data is really important Do we need it? No, but now all our sales are completely messed up I think I think we could still look at the sales on the on the big spreadsheet But now when we go to an individual product, we don't know really how much of it We sold over over what period of time at least moving forward now. We have to combine two. So You know between that contractor scamming us. I Mean just Frankie strange me in general has been a lot of problems The first big one was getting taken down on Kickstarter That should have been a warning to both of us that this is a bad idea. I got that cold cold too from Frankie There's a spending the account like what's going on here. Yeah. Yes Keep scrambling. Yeah, it's I don't want to work with anyone anymore. I can't trust anybody No, we can't so the Kickstarter was taken down last year when we started for $40,000 and then we had to relaunch the website and The things have been very difficult, you know, we had The shipping problems with the initial orders. I think what do we lose half the orders USPS Yeah, we shipped USPS first round of orders. We lost about $15,000 We didn't make any money from our first batch of the Kickstarter money Or what would be the Kickstarter money? Just the initial fundraiser money for the orders And it's pre-orders, you know a lot of these companies. They'll do a Kickstarter. They'll take money for free We didn't do that. We sold the product So we did that and then pretty rocky sourcing products getting things going for about a year And then we finally get in this new facility like six months later Then we're supposed to and you guys hear the background We got a giant buzzing noise that we have to deal with all day It's better though. Yeah, it's not as loud as it was You know, we have a halfway working facility But you know what we're making continual progress and hopefully, you know another year or two from now will be you know on a farm with a fully up and running nice portrait facility and We're already doing things that no one else is doing. We already have a better quality product more variety of products and Moving forward. We're really looking forward to Especially the next few months launching some more things and just making that continual progress. We've filled over 10,000 orders That's what I was well. Well, I didn't say that yet because technically speaking. It's like 9,200 We're getting close to 10,000 right We're close Because it starts at 10,000 but some of those orders were never set right cancellation Yeah, I think we're at like 9,200 orders total on Frankie series me so it's a lot of high-quality me. Yeah, it's a lot of orders Not a lot of money made but we're looking forward to To eventually getting to that point. It's nice. So this is the bag. We're using for the weight protein right now We're gonna get a label on here soon. It's gonna be Frankie's free range weight protein We'll have that grass-fed for you guys good survival food. Good overall for just a protein and There's another company that I told you we selling raw grass-fed way on Amazon, but Raw and grass and marketing is very not specific. So you're telling me out of all the sourcing we've looked through There's no real grass that way in America. If it's American grass-fed raw. It's grass-fed. It's not grass-fed I think we found the only reasonably price New Zealand Milk producer that makes weight protein. So If it's US stuff, it's probably not grass-fed with our sourcing of product Nothing is ever as good as it seems. So if they're making raw grass-fed way in Wisconsin or wherever What temperature are they actually doing the way at even if it is a legitimate raw temperature? The amount of way that you need to make weight protein, especially grass-fed if it's in the United States It's definitely not agrochemical free. They're probably feeding the cows corn silage I would be very skeptical and especially in a place like Wisconsin or upper United States How they're making that much way because in the winter There's no way they're only feeding those cows. Hey, it's it's probably corn silage and a bunch of other stuff So we know with the New Zealand stuff It's a really safe bet that it's a hundred percent grass-fed and who knows maybe sometime in the future We'll have some type of operation Where we're more control ourselves, but things are panning out. We're trying to get more products So we're trying to source honey and I want to hear this story from Adam So you met a guy named Ashley. All right. He's he's in California. He ships honey all over the world He's like a honey distributor, but he's like a specialty guy. His name's Ashley. He's Indian I've spoken to him on the phone a couple of times. He is he like talk really fast He's really really slow. Oh slow. It's like a it's a slow cadence, but the words are fast It's still he still has that quick indeed cadence. Anyway, he He found us. He thought we wanted high fructose honey So he found literally the highest fructose honey that you can find and it turns out it's from cotton so they have hives they're dedicated to pollinating cotton fields the honey those bees produce is the highest fructose honey that you can buy Let's give some people some liver failure, right? I guess yeah, and he's he also said it's dirt cheap. So if anyone wants some Super high fructose honey cotton seed we could single-handedly Give everyone in the United States fatty liver with high fructose cotton seed Indian honey possibly So for the past hour or so me and Adam have been trying to figure out What the next course of action is and as opposed to a West Coast shipping hub We're kind of thinking Dairy farm and eggs You get a loan and then we can build our own state-of-the-art butcher facility, right? That's making the most sense. Let's check in those boxes. It's a big undertaking but Makes the most sense then we can get dairy chickens fresh local beef Control the supply chain because right now I'm getting screwed ordering That's where all the bottlenecks are Because we're getting you guys fresh local beef. It's just we're not making money on it. Oh Yeah, and if I do if I have someone else process the beef They make all the money on the processing and then I'd have to charge you $20 a pound for Grass-fed local beef. We're just not a doing in a large amount fine much So we got a pretty good game plan moving forward and even right now We're still offering, you know a higher variety of products at a better price than pretty much every single other vendor online So you guys can go to franky series meat comm see what we have all the cheeses aren't stock We're gonna try to get you know one or two more beef items that will be up by today and I'm really looking forward to the next few months. It just seems like you know things get more and more and more delayed and You know on paper you want to get stuff done within a month or two But reality and dealing with other businesses. It just doesn't work like that Thank you guys for joining me today If you could please like the video leave a comment down below and above all if you can share the video on social media I'll see you guys for tomorrow's video
