| 0:06.4 | on the video camera here in just a second and bring them on. But before we do that, I wanted |
| 0:10.6 | to tell you a little bit about their story because we kind of go through a really nice timeline |
| 0:15.4 | today of a young married couple struggling with debt venturing into, they're both working full-time, |
| 0:22.3 | by the way, working hard at their jobs, but still struggling through, selling a little bit |
| 0:27.5 | online, kind of dabbling in it, never really taking off. |

| 1:11.6 | off. They're sitting on the verge of a possible million dollar year here in 2021. We don't know how |
| 1:17.4 | the year is going to end yet as we're recording this. There's still over three months plus left in |
| 1:21.8 | this year. But they'll easily hit 800,000 at a very healthy mid 20% profit margin. And that's while working a full-time job. |
