00:01:46 | 00:01:49 | you know our whole goal at least mine |
00:01:48 | 00:01:52 | and my buddies who were traveling with |
00:01:49 | 00:01:53 | was to bring a couple people along with |
00:01:52 | 00:01:55 | us you know build a team of just good |
00:01:53 | 00:01:58 | positive people around us but then also |
00:01:55 | 00:01:59 | help them get into e-comm so you know |
00:01:58 | 00:02:01 | you didn't know much about you calling |
00:01:59 | 00:02:03 | all when you first came well I need I |
00:02:01 | 00:02:06 | need absolute ly nothing about econ |
00:02:03 | 00:02:08 | actually I actually had only I notiked |
00:02:06 | 00:02:08 | it sounds like a cliche story but I had |
00:02:08 | 00:02:10 | three |
00:02:08 | 00:02:12 | dollars in my bank account when I |
00:02:10 | 00:02:15 | started running at someone's store that |
00:02:12 | 00:02:18 | hidden and our friends taught me how to |
00:02:15 | 00:02:22 | do basically it's kind of crazy and now |
00:02:18 | 00:02:24 | I have a lot more than yeah well we'll |
00:02:22 | 00:02:26 | tok about that don't worry kind of what |
00:02:24 | 00:02:28 | went into that but so you know in just a |
00:02:26 | 00:02:29 | couple month timeframe he went from that |
00:02:28 | 00:02:31 | and then you know obviously being around |
00:02:29 | 00:02:33 | us like being able to see everything and |
00:02:31 | 00:02:36 | you know we helped him out with that now |
00:02:33 | 00:02:37 | a six-figure store like that and like |
00:02:36 | 00:02:40 | what it did six figures revenue in a |
00:02:37 | 00:02:42 | matter of less than two months yeah I've |
00:02:40 | 00:02:44 | got two stores these figures it's crazy |
00:02:42 | 00:02:46 | so like and that's just in the last few |
00:02:44 | 00:02:47 | monocyte rule II believe I'm a strong |
00:02:46 | 00:02:49 | believer in law of attraction and I |
00:02:47 | 00:02:53 | really think if you surround yourself by |
00:02:49 | 00:02:54 | people that you either aspired to do |
00:02:53 | 00:02:56 | things like that or you think they're |
00:02:54 | 00:02:58 | really doing cool things with their life |
00:02:56 | 00:03:00 | then that's like really all it's about |
00:02:58 | 00:03:02 | like what Hayden said about surrounding |
00:03:00 | 00:03:03 | yourself by like really cool people got |
00:03:02 | 00:03:05 | to be able to live under these people |
00:03:03 | 00:03:07 | yeah that good things will happen |
00:03:05 | 00:03:08 | so a hundred percent tok a little bit |
00:03:07 | 00:03:10 | about the background I know you've been |
00:03:08 | 00:03:11 | doing a lot of stuff with photography |
00:03:10 | 00:03:13 | videography for a long time |
00:03:11 | 00:03:15 | what's that space like I know I've |
00:03:13 | 00:03:18 | toked to a lot of people who were yeah |
00:03:15 | 00:03:20 | trying to do that I mean it's not |
00:03:18 | 00:03:22 | impossible to make it in you know I was |
00:03:20 | 00:03:25 | doing okay for myself like I was |
00:03:22 | 00:03:27 | shooting for DJ's I toured with kygo I |
00:03:25 | 00:03:28 | was touring with this DJ on them in Bali |
00:03:27 | 00:03:30 | his name is Karl moons |
00:03:28 | 00:03:32 | so I toured with a few different people |
00:03:30 | 00:03:35 | like that I was editing freelance for |
00:03:32 | 00:03:36 | youtubers from back in the US and I was |
00:03:35 | 00:03:39 | living in Bali so I was making good |
00:03:36 | 00:03:42 | money because the exchange rate but so |
00:03:39 | 00:03:46 | cheap out there Shoji about that but I |
00:03:42 | 00:03:48 | really wasn't making that much and I was |
00:03:46 | 00:03:49 | like I'm putting too much work for it |
00:03:48 | 00:03:52 | and when you when you're doing content |
00:03:49 | 00:03:53 | for people full time like that like |
00:03:52 | 00:03:55 | touring with people you're really |
00:03:53 | 00:03:58 | slaving over their work and not that I |
00:03:55 | 00:04:02 | didn't enjoy it but I just think that |
00:03:58 | 00:04:05 | being your own boss has a lot of a lot |
00:04:02 | 00:04:06 | of things to offer obviously and I think |
00:04:05 | 00:04:08 | there's something special about that and |
00:04:06 | 00:04:10 | I was always like a lord to that were |
00:04:08 | 00:04:12 | you more so get to control the direction |
00:04:10 | 00:04:14 | of what you're you know creating versus |
00:04:12 | 00:04:16 | just always filming someone every day |
00:04:14 | 00:04:17 | exactly I think we had a good structure |
00:04:16 | 00:04:19 | going content wise while we were |
00:04:17 | 00:04:20 | traveling just you know have any |
00:04:19 | 00:04:22 | opportunity we didn't need much |
00:04:20 | 00:04:24 | a few videos here and there a month and |
00:04:22 | 00:04:27 | some Instagram photos so it was a lot of |
00:04:24 | 00:04:29 | fun for everyone and I know his skill |
00:04:27 | 00:04:30 | with the photos specifically and you |
00:04:29 | 00:04:33 | know his I guess it's the overall desire |
00:04:30 | 00:04:34 | having things looking good really helped |
00:04:33 | 00:04:37 | him with building the most badass |
00:04:34 | 00:04:39 | websites like he really kills it with |
00:04:37 | 00:04:41 | bill building not only just Shopify |
00:04:39 | 00:04:44 | stores but branding stores branded |
00:04:41 | 00:04:45 | stores okay so we're actually having him |
00:04:44 | 00:04:48 | like working one-on-one with like our |
00:04:45 | 00:04:50 | in-person employees who do that so it's |
00:04:48 | 00:04:51 | kind of crazy you you built that skill |
00:04:50 | 00:04:53 | did you have experience with web design |
00:04:51 | 00:04:55 | or anything yeah I've definitely |
00:04:53 | 00:04:56 | designed some websites in the past and I |
00:04:55 | 00:04:58 | think like you said it all kind of just |
00:04:56 | 00:05:00 | comes back to the argument of like |
00:04:58 | 00:05:02 | aesthetiks and of just having this |
00:05:00 | 00:05:04 | obsession of making things look great |
00:05:02 | 00:05:06 | detail-oriented like now I I'm at a |
00:05:04 | 00:05:08 | point where my returns are enough where |
00:05:06 | 00:05:10 | I have like literally kids out building |
00:05:08 | 00:05:12 | stores for me like 10 15 kids who just |
00:05:10 | 00:05:15 | like go do my bidding and those together |
00:05:12 | 00:05:17 | team know about us because I can kindly |
00:05:15 | 00:05:18 | offset a lot of that work but what I |
00:05:17 | 00:05:20 | come to realize with a lot of people not |
00:05:18 | 00:05:22 | everyone that builds my websites but now |
00:05:20 | 00:05:25 | people aren't detail-oriented as much as |
00:05:22 | 00:05:28 | they need to be for EECOM and sure if |
00:05:25 | 00:05:29 | you have like a [ __ ] amazing product |
00:05:28 | 00:05:32 | it doesn't matter how the store looks |
00:05:29 | 00:05:34 | you can just sell like crazy and it'll |
00:05:32 | 00:05:35 | always help increase the conversions if |
00:05:34 | 00:05:38 | it's about a stove it's a branded store |
00:05:35 | 00:05:41 | you can literally sell the Kuran de |
00:05:38 | 00:05:45 | Christian like it's that's a great |
00:05:41 | 00:05:47 | example like I'm selling like products |
00:05:45 | 00:05:50 | that otherwise wouldn't be categorized |
00:05:47 | 00:05:53 | as great products but they sell because |
00:05:50 | 00:05:55 | I get returning customers because it |
00:05:53 | 00:05:57 | looks really good they think it's real |
00:05:55 | 00:05:59 | brands it's a brand versus a store like |
00:05:57 | 00:06:00 | oh wow they got this you position it the |
00:05:59 | 00:06:01 | right way which is why we focus more on |
00:06:00 | 00:06:03 | the brands because you get the longevity |
00:06:01 | 00:06:06 | and then you're gonna sell that down the |
00:06:03 | 00:06:08 | road you can do that mmm yeah so now you |
00:06:06 | 00:06:10 | focus pretty full-time on e-commerce |
00:06:08 | 00:06:13 | doing just hosting yeah we probably all |
00:06:10 | 00:06:16 | got some sort of ADHD OCD like just like |
00:06:13 | 00:06:17 | only working like just obsessing over |
00:06:16 | 00:06:19 | little things but he's just chilling on |
00:06:17 | 00:06:21 | the couch that's back there working all |
00:06:19 | 00:06:23 | the hit log just you know trying to make |
00:06:21 | 00:06:25 | the most beautiful stuff so it's kind of |
00:06:23 | 00:06:26 | crazy to see but you know that's that's |
00:06:25 | 00:06:28 | the progression of what you guys can do |
00:06:26 | 00:06:30 | and I know this was in what like a four |
00:06:28 | 00:06:32 | or five month time frame yeah well we |
00:06:30 | 00:06:34 | were in Thailand I was like four or five |
00:06:32 | 00:06:35 | months ago which is crazy mm-hmm |
00:06:34 | 00:06:37 | we were there you flawed at the end we |
00:06:35 | 00:06:39 | went to Prague Amsterdam I almost died |
00:06:37 | 00:06:41 | walking over that bridge and prague that |
00:06:39 | 00:06:49 | was great well we got into certainly an |
00:06:41 | 00:06:52 | insert a clip of that just he just |
00:06:49 | 00:06:53 | scaled this entire bridge that was crazy |
00:06:52 | 00:06:56 | what really drove him for that mostly |
00:06:53 | 00:06:57 | the same thing I was like the same thing |
00:06:56 | 00:06:59 | I was doing there's no way this kid is |
00:06:57 | 00:07:01 | doing this right I'm just no way I can |
00:06:59 | 00:07:03 | walked up this big arc over this bridge |
00:07:01 | 00:07:05 | we're like out exploring this I'm gonna |
00:07:03 | 00:07:08 | hassle yeah it was definitely 200 feet |
00:07:05 | 00:07:13 | up like 3 like 2 to 3 feet wide it's |
00:07:08 | 00:07:15 | like yeah absolutely it's crazy do this |
00:07:13 | 00:07:16 | stuff we had to do snowboard is nothing |
00:07:15 | 00:07:18 | like learning how to get over that |
00:07:16 | 00:07:19 | mentally but yeah that's great so I |
00:07:18 | 00:07:21 | wanted to share that with you if you |
00:07:19 | 00:07:23 | could give a you know one or two quick |
00:07:21 | 00:07:25 | tips on he doesn't even necessarily have |
00:07:23 | 00:07:27 | to be econ but I know a lot of people |
00:07:25 | 00:07:28 | want to do things quickly and what |
00:07:27 | 00:07:30 | you've done didn't necessarily come |
00:07:28 | 00:07:32 | quick as your the skills that you built |

00:07:34 | 00:07:37 | has been a couple of those like most |

00:07:37 | 00:07:39 | helped you um |

00:07:47 | 00:07:52 | to LA and make some meetings with people |
00:07:50 | 00:07:53 | that you look up to and try to get |
00:07:52 | 00:07:55 | involved about what because when people |
00:07:53 | 00:07:56 | see you face to face like I met these |
00:07:55 | 00:07:58 | guys face to face when we were in |

00:09:02 | 00:09:07 | I was like I I'm done let's go you're at |
00:09:06 | 00:09:08 | USC for two years yeah two years of it |
00:09:07 | 00:09:12 | that's crazy |
00:09:08 | 00:09:13 | over for year mm-hmm and so with econ |
00:09:12 | 00:09:14 | specifically I know you've done a lot in |
00:09:13 | 00:09:16 | our two stores you're getting experience |
00:09:14 | 00:09:18 | with other types of products different |
00:09:16 | 00:09:20 | brands obviously focusing on Facebook |
00:09:18 | 00:09:22 | ads that's all we we taught him but uh |
00:09:20 | 00:09:23 | yeah Facebook ads are huge yeah what |
00:09:22 | 00:09:25 | what yeah you name of people because I |
00:09:23 | 00:09:26 | know you learned it fairly quick a lot |
00:09:25 | 00:09:28 | of people that's what we tok about a |
00:09:26 | 00:09:29 | lot to be focused on Facebook Ads so |
00:09:28 | 00:09:30 | what would be a couple of things that |
00:09:29 | 00:09:32 | you've struggled with and how do you |
00:09:30 | 00:09:35 | kind of overcome that well again like I |
00:09:32 | 00:09:38 | first um Hayden and friends are like |
00:09:35 | 00:09:40 | they're all helping me out run ads in |
00:09:38 | 00:09:42 | the beginning but after they taught me a |
00:09:40 | 00:09:44 | little bit you come to realize like that |
00:09:42 | 00:09:45 | my detail-oriented mindset of being good |
00:09:44 | 00:09:47 | with content kind of transfers over to |
00:09:45 | 00:09:48 | you have to be detail-oriented with |
00:09:47 | 00:09:49 | running ads to you know you have to be |
00:09:48 | 00:09:52 | analytikal you have to be able to read |
00:09:49 | 00:09:55 | numbers and I kinda just picked it up |
00:09:52 | 00:09:58 | easily I mean I'm no expert by any means |
00:09:55 | 00:10:00 | but I run very successful stores off of |
00:09:58 | 00:10:01 | Facebook ads solely no influencer |
00:10:00 | 00:10:03 | marketing you're still learning stuff |
00:10:01 | 00:10:07 | every single day every day so scaling is |
00:10:03 | 00:10:09 | still very poised coming in - yeah |
00:10:07 | 00:10:11 | that's a great position to be where |
00:10:09 | 00:10:12 | you're like you have the ability to make |
00:10:11 | 00:10:13 | more money years trying to scale further |
