Road trip to The Bay + Meeting With Mind Pump and Dave Camarillo | Starting a Kickstarter Day #13

There’s actually a jar start this is the first two minutes of the road trip right we’re about an hour away from where I’m going to be my co-packer can really close to San Jose right now just stopped off had to stop off and get some Chipotle one of the best road foods that there are first um it’s pretty healthy get a lot of real just real food stops off earlier at a McDonald’s but like all they have told me I never eat it at all let’s get some oatmeal got it was full of like brown sugar and a bunch of crap which brings me to one of the points of the product is that I’m trying to produce not going to have any attitude itself. So got something somewhat LVM cheer along these in the comments it’s probably not that healthy but as far as fast as good or a better option clothes you can eat in your lounge that’s pretty nice. So one hour to go tonight I’m going to be doing jiu-jitsu a Dave Henry Oaks tomorrow I’m interviewing Mike pump we’re gonna listen to some of their podcast really learned guys really excited to interview them but that that’s the big stuff going on.

I’m here in Santiago and you are the first to do all the pill packing for the performance nut butter product if you have all that machine back there pretty exciting over up here in Oakland and really kinda gets project going off the ground here obviously has a great day BF Houston and make I thought what not asleep there are you crazy I ordered here there your cousin watch me why would it is going to sell out tomorrow okay it’s delicious real bone level to dub could you make sure he finds her fortunes I want Lisa Cooper said okay I’m gonna sell out the strip after that I dropped the bottle it smelled upon my father dear boy alright start our this state to on the road trip up to San Jose and Cisco the Bay Area today was really cool I actually did an interview with Olivia actually back up last night I don’t think I even talked about last night I’ll probably have injured footage or I’ll insert right now I went up and I’m incident Dave Camarillo he is in Pleasanton I interviewed him on my how to do your podcast he’s been interviewed by Tim Ferriss.

Tim Ferriss go to jiu-jitsu guy total badass very smart guy a lot about martial arts anyways I went I visited him had dropped off not mutter to him also one of the black belt instructors there I ended up having a really good conversation with him I think his name is Danny I could be wrong but I had a conversation with aiming who’s talking to talk about the product McMahon that sounds awesome something I was loved. So I decided like hey I’ll give you a jar and I don’t have a lot of jars to give out but he is one of the people give it to you because one he’s a consumer – he’s an influencer in aminos Dave Camarillo. So I think if I give it to Dave Camarillo and – one of his top instructors that’s a perfect mix. So then hopefully Dave liked it and then instructors also likes it and they can kind of like talk about and it strengthens the idea in their head to hell this is a cool product now I’m not expecting a lot from Dave Camarillo as far as sales he’s a really nice guy and I just want to create but also kind of a relationship with him but it’d be awesome if he does know Tim Ferriss they may be split the affairs of the I don’t expect that perhaps that was that I guess I was still day one Wow long day one the other part of it was what was their day – I guess technically I was day and this is day depending on how you would break it up anyways the other part of it was today I went over and interviewed two guys from mine pump they have a great podcast I listen to it if you have listened to it there’s three of them got Adam fallen Justin really smart guys also in great shape super cool them cuz I got to go to their San Jose the recording studio that’s the first time I’ve ever visited up professional recording studio I’m oldies and I recorded my ipod can talk for two hours and I gave him the product before I wasn’t expecting to give the comic before the recording at the show but they asked me you know got into talking like what are you doing up here and I explained and like actually I got sample drugs because I want to try it and they tried it and they loved it was really good to hear they’re like wow that’s really tasty you know they all talked about it again they’re like look we wouldn’t bullshit you if you thought it was bad we tell you that. So I interviewed them I’m I just pretty much got done from interviewing them had some lunch and stuff for that but a couple big lessons that I learned from that interview actually there’s a time one and just be prepared if you’re going to be explaining this to people be prepared have a little bit of a story in your head but don’t go into pitch moment it should be kind of a soft thing that happens like if it comes up naturally it does otherwise at the end of the podcast recording in the end of getting to know them then you can always flip that in that was one of the big one I also learned some lessons on how to be a better podcast interviewer I was a little intimidated talkative that’s been there.

That’s what I thought myself not saying very much and they did a very good job at talking amongst themselves. So like I throw out a question they can talk for ten minutes they kind of would rip off each other I do think I should do a better job at being involved in the conversation but ultimately they’re the experts and I’m just trying to get as much knowledge for myself and for my audience as possible. So that’s probably the end of work up here in the Bay Area the rest of its going to be fun I do think I’m gonna plan another road trip in the middle of my Kickstarter all the way up to Northern California maybe even all the way up to Canada and back and hit up to Jeff ujin’s hit up cross the gym and one of the things that I realized wouldn’t you just is specifically or any kind of weight class athlete boy tie if my performance on butter’s the hurricane because it’s very lightweight it’s one ounce or like calories. So if you have to weigh in it doesn’t take a lot it’s not going to add on to your weight but it’s going to give you some calories to help get you ready for your match plus it’s a performance nothing but the whole point is to make you perform better.

I think that’s going to tie in very well. So that’s my plan I’m going to do a two week or. So road trip up the northern coast or up to the north of like Washington and back up the west coast of California States and during the middle of the Kickstarter and give out samples and let people try it and get out probably business cards. So they know about the Kickstarter right on the spot if you want to donate their not donate but like everyone support the project man on this I’ll send out he boxes but that’s probably it this is already been a very productive trip I mean it led to. So many other ideas I got to be my co-packers that’s me the legend Dave can really meet the guys for mine huh it’s really cool as all come together in this is where I enjoy I enjoy being on the road love torch on there I enjoy talking with people and getting to meet people as opposed to sitting behind a desk /. So that is it for this day and I’m gonna call this I think day as the Kickstarter I’m just gonna say this is one day because most the time was not me actually working it was driving or visiting doing touristy stuff. So at this particular three of my trip now Shelly where we go yesterday was great no fun shots today.
