Michael says, "We also have a nutritionist, a formula, a flavorist on staff that most brands don't have. And then the next layer is we get to manufacture the product. We control that process, so we have disclosure, we have control into all of that. There's no middleman. That allows us to make the top of the line product with no middleman, no surcharge, no upcharge. We're offering premium formulas, incredible flavors and experiences for market price."

| 0:00.0 | I think there's two factors that allowed me to wake up every morning and just be thankful. |
| 0:04.0 | And the first is understanding that the figurative gun was pointed at me. |
| 0:08.0 | I didn't make a bad decision. |
| 0:10.0 | I didn't eat a bad apple. |
| 0:12.0 | I didn't do anything. |
| 0:13.0 | So I'm in a corner right now with this figurative gun pointing right at me. |
| 0:17.0 | And I have two decisions. |
| 0:19.0 | I could let someone pull the trigger and give up and just |
| 0:22.1 | end this thing called life. Or I could fight like hell to save my life and to give myself a quality |

| 1:02.4 | So what am I going to do with my extra day? And I don't know when that day is going to be its last |
| 1:08.3 | day. And I think that being 27 years old and healthy, you have all of this |
| 1:13.5 | future ahead of you. And 27 years old and sick, you have your present and you're only in that |
| 1:19.6 | present. And I think that was the best gift that I ever got because I get to live every moment by the |
| 1:26.4 | moment versus looking down the line and looking |
