"Yeah, I'd say we quickly realized after a product for 6 months is that we needed to be able to bring in strategic partners to help us get where we wanted to go faster. So yeah, one of those was obviously having somebody coming in and doing the bookkeeping that was very knowledgeable of that that could help us so we hired somebody to do that. We hired somebody to help us with our search engine optimization SEO for our website and marketing. And then also when we launched on Amazon, we knew that was just a whole jungle and itself that could take up a lot of time and resources. So we hired somebody to help us with that. And then also national PR marketing. Again, pieces where we don't have the expertise and we could spend all of our time trying to learn it, but we decided to bring in partners to do that. And we're growing every month. So we started off doing shipping and things ourselves and as we continue to grow, we hope to bring in people to package and ship our products for us. But again, that's a continued evolution of a small businesses. You have to understand when to want to bring somebody on it and want to just kind of suck it up and do it yourself until it comes to a point where my time is more valuable. Doing things like this and it might be packaging a bottle of sauce and shipping it away. Yeah, were those lessons like hard for you to learn or were you did you flow easily with that? Because there are some people that refuse to give up certain things in their business. I see it all the time. Yeah. I think from a mindset of me and my business partner, we've seen enough and we've been around enough time with other entrepreneurs and our constantly studying what's going on in the space that we know we have to outsource some things and we can't take it all on ourselves, otherwise we're going to burn out and then also these are people that have expertise in a certain area that we need it. So it's worth the investment to pay them to do that. That's not always easy, especially for a startup is to give other people more money than you probably pay yourself. But again, you have to have kind of a more long-term vision than just kind of the immediate because hopefully those things will pay off and if sometimes you get burned and it doesn't, but there's only one way to learn from that is to go out and do it. Well hey, great. Interested in checking out burn pit barbecue. How do we do that? Yeah, you could go out to our website, burn pit, BBQ.

"Portion back to local veteran organizations, so we like to share that story and tell that because we know people like to support companies that do that as well. So are you in profit mode yet? I'd say we are very heavily invested into the company. So first year, we just had our taxes done. So I can say we are in profit mode, but it's very thin. As we move into year two and year three, obviously the goal is to be a profitable company for a long time. So we're making strategic investments back into our business, whether that's through PR marketing and inventory development. So right now we're heavily focused on those pieces. So profitability is obviously the goal. But we continue to reinvest a lot of what we make back into the business. And then also through those strategic partnerships with a lot of local veteran nonprofit organizations, we like to give back. So those are kind of our focuses right now. Yeah, so as far as making your products, you guys making them yourself or did you contract with a food company or something and just work with them to have them do it for you? Yeah, so again, like our mission right away was a girl with a brand as quick as we could and we knew if we were in the kitchen making these things like take their time away from all the business management pieces. So we decided to partner with a Wisconsin based bottler that bottles our products for us and then we inventory we manage and we ship as well as the continued day to day of the business. But that was just this decision that we made early on that we knew that we wanted to do in order to be able to kind of scale at a faster pace. Now, oftentimes I hear when people are trying to go to the real healthy route and they go to a bottler or I can't remember the term like food packer, food producer. That person tries to say, okay, this is how you really need to make it..

"Yeah, so we knew that we didn't want to be in the kitchen because that's just takes a lot of time. And we knew if we wanted to get this brand up and running quickly, during the pandemic, restaurants were shut down anyways, so that wasn't really an option for us. And we wanted to make sure that we could help people cook from home because that's what we're passionate about. We're passionate about cooking for our families and our friends and our backyard. So we looked around at the environment. We saw that. This is the opportunity for us to help people. But then with the products, it's very important for us to understand what's in our rob seasonings and sauces. So we go with all natural. There's no preservatives, no fillers. They're gluten free. Because it's important for us to understand what's going into our bodies. And when we looked at the marketplace here locally, you could go into the grocery store and buy $2 bottle rub and sell fillers. It's all sugars. And that's just something that we're kind of passionate about is allowing our people to follow our brand to know that it's high quality ingredients being bottled here in the state of Wisconsin. Yeah. Yeah, that's awesome. I never really thought about rubs and that's the problem with almost all of our food is they fill everything with sugar. Even things they don't even need to fill with sugar. They fill it with sugar anyways. But yeah, yeah, so we have a lot of everyone's going gluten free now and so we'll do a lot of rubs in sauces have a lot of gluten in them also. Which depends on where you go and what you're looking for. I'd say most of them are probably gluten free. And the sugar, the sodium, we have a lot of people that are looking for sugar free stuff. For us, we like to have a little bit of sugar in there..

"And so I'm trying to think how I want to ask this question. So being an infantry marine, several combat tours, granted, you have transition, you've been re indoctrinated into the college way of things. You're back to being a big civilian here at this point, of course, but the insurance business insurance business is a great business because it's very stable, it moves and really slow, things don't change a whole lot. If you get in the right, if you get into the right niche, it can be a very stable lucrative career. Probably not real fast pace or moving quickly like being when you first few years there, when you're in the insurance business, did you find was it extremely boring to you? Or was it interesting? Did you feel like. Responsibility wise you were way ahead of your peers or talk through a little bit of some of that? Yeah, I'd say the insurance and financial services industry is really geared towards veterans because you have a lot of autonomy to be able to work for yourself and to build a book of business. Now what I did after that was a little bit different like I got into the corporate more side of things. But yeah, you're right. It does move a little bit slower. Especially if you're used to being fast paced and making decisions on the fly, not being afraid to fail, you know, insurance usually they're more risk averse. So they're going to take their time, make decisions at their own pace. So that can be frustrating at times. And then going back to the pure question, even going through school in college, you know, I was four or 5 years older than my peers at the same time. So there's that life experience that you have outside of growing up going to high school and then going directly to college. Again, it can be frustrating at times where you're showing up really the class. Or you're on time and you got everything accomplished that you need to accomplish, but maybe some of your peers don't. And they don't take it as seriously. So that can be frustrating. Those are pieces that I had to work through on my own time. And same with the corporate world too, is that you're working with teams and people that don't have the same experience as you. Being high pressure situations, making decisions on the fly. So again, things move a little slower so it could be frustrating for somebody that just coming out of that kind of military background. To find themselves in right away..

"Greg, you had some interesting times in the Marine Corps very busy, very busy time with Iraq and Afghanistan going on. And then you did everything right. You got out of school, got a couple degrees, getting the insurance business. And then took this plunge in entrepreneurship. But before we get to talking about all that, take us back, tell us what you did when you were in the Marine Corps. Yeah, yeah, thanks, Joe. I appreciate the opportunity to be on here. Yeah, so I was a senior in high school when September 11th happened 2001. And that really helped kind of make up my mind for me. I decided to join the Marine Corps shortly after that. And I was a marine infantry rifleman. So at that time, we were just looking at getting involved with Iraq and we are already heavily involved in Afghanistan. So I was part of the initial invasion from Kuwait to Baghdad in Iraq, and then I made two more deployments after that back to Iraq as well. And so what was your transition plan? Did you have a transition plan? What was your transition like the Marine Corps? I'd say I probably didn't have much of a plan. After four years of heavy combat and multiple deployments, I decided it was best for me to get out and come back home. And I know I kind of wanted to go to school, but I didn't really have a school picked out. I didn't know where I was going to go or what I wanted to do. So really I came back home, I started working in a warehouse. And things just kind of started to unfold from there. Well, so you come back home, just got a basic job. So you ended up going to school twice, you got a bad percentage degree in MBA, ultimately find yourself in the insurance business. So. How is it that how is it that.

In Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer and Governor Andy Beshear will join the Louisville Fire Department at the department's headquarters downtown for a memorial ceremony, remembering the lives lost on September 11th. The ceremony will begin at 10 A.m. and the governor has ordered all flags in Kentucky be lowered to half staff today in accordance with a proclamation from President Joe Biden. Yesterday, Governor Bashir was at the podium, criticizing the General Assembly's passage of a bill that ended the statewide school mask mandate But the masking decision The General Assembly made Was wrong. And it was also a punt Senate bill. One nullifies the Kentucky Board of Education School Mask mandate and gives local school boards the sole discretion to implement and enforce school mask mandates. The mask mandate for Jefferson County Public schools remains in place, though Superintendent Dr Marty Polio responded yesterday to the bill's passage. That doesn't have that direct impact on Jason GPS. But once again, I believe the virus doesn't necessarily stop at the county line or the state lines. Um, And so I think from my opinion that that's where I strongly disagree is that.

That will we'll do a little better Hopefully because gm is is still working in surrogate the income tax from them You know spero is still working. Thank goodness a big employer but you know the state is working remotely so that continues to be a challenge. So will you know. We still have to navigate that there's nobody parking downtown's we have to navigate that property taxes have been pretty pretty consistent. Houses are still selling but all this is going to have a big impact on our budget and with you the feds doing no help by cutting state and local governments out of the stimulus that they provided so we have to pay for p. b. We have a police and fire time because of of increased police actions. That are needed. Know you're seeing increase in shootings you seen increase in in crime because people are stuck at home So you know we're navigating that you're seeing an increase in in overtime for fire because our ems is being called out for covid end nine kovin things so you know. Our our budget is definitely going to be impacted..

"After falling asleep in a fast food drive. Thru in Louisville, Briana Taylor's death remains a source of pain and distrust. Pastor Timothy Findley Junior. The choice of Shields is tone deaf and demonstrates a lack of empathy from city leaders as residents continue to seek healing. After Taylor's killing, it just reinforces what many, many people Especially in the black community. We feel regarding our leadership that they are insensitive and there is a lack of empathy towards black citizens simply says city leaders are asking residents to trust their decision making, but he says they haven't done enough to earn that trust. And he says Shields is hiring does not set the stage for community healing. Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer, who chose Shields, based on the unanimous recommendation of eight handpicked elected officials praised her professional 25 year record with the Atlanta Police Department. And her decision to resign the day after Ray Shard Brooks was killed by an officer. When tragedy happened in her city. She put her city before herself stepping down so she would not be a distraction as her community work to heal Shields to recognized the need for communities in Louisville and across the country to recover and come together after a year of traumatic police shootings of black people. But she also said she sees opportunity. Louisville and Ellen PD. Have the opportunity to get this right. To create a model for other cities to follow.

Louisville preparing for another night of protests after Breonna Taylor decision
"Of Louisville is bracing for another night of protests after Kentucky's attorney general said he would not charge three officers in the death of Briana Taylor. She is the black woman shot and killed by police in her apartment in March. The decision not to charge the officers involved drove demonstrators into the streets around the country. But it's Louisville. That is the center of this story. And that is where NPR's Adrian Florido is now. Hey there, Adrian. I'm a really describe to us what you are seeing. What you're hearing is you're out and about reporting on the streets there in Louisville. So, so far today, things have been calm. That was not the case. Last night, however, the streets of downtown Louisville were really tense as police worked to enforce and nine PM curfew and disperse crowds or furious Attorney General Daniel Cameron's announcement just before curfew, two officers were shot. Their injuries were non my threatening and the suspect was arrested. But this morning, Mayor Greg Fischer pleaded for peace. We never had control over what attorney General of the grand jury would do. We do have control over what happens next in our city, So I'm asking everyone to reject violence and join me and committing Ourselves to the work of reform for justice and for equity and do that now. And Adrian. How our people out on the streets protesting. How are they hearing that? How are they responding to that? I think that there is a lot of skepticism that meaningful change that the mayor is calling for if they participate will actually happen, You know, people here in Louisville protested for 120 days. Demanding that the three police officers who participated in the raid on Briana Taylor's apartment be charged with her murder. Instead. What they got was a grand jury and the state attorney general deciding to charge just one of those officers not for Taylor's death, but because the bullets that this officer fired into her apartment, entered the apartment next door and endangered the lives of Taylor's neighbors. This morning, I spoke to a man named Marcus Reed. He runs a barbecue joint near where Taylor was killed wasn't what he said. If it was may 20 years, But you know, this is police and he's not my skin color. They Just a slap on the wrist. They keep doing it. He told me that his friends and family are deeply resentful of the decision not to charge and that he would not be surprised if tensions on the streets actually actually grow worse after this, Yeah, well, I was going to ask where where my things go because people out protesting many of them had some pretty specific goals in mind. They weren't just angry. They wanted all of the involved officers to be fired and charged with murder. Which, as of yesterday seems to be off the table. So so where do things go now? Rights of the local investigation into Taylor's killing is complete. There will be no more charges Theater New general has said that but the police Department is continuing an internal investigation on whether the officers followed department protocols on the night of the raid. There's also an ongoing federal investigation. The FBI is looking into whether police violated Briana Taylor's civil rights and they're looking at How they obtained that warrant raid Taylor's apartment to look for drugs drugs that they did not find, And aside from that Kentucky's governor Andy this year, he is calling on the attorney general to release the evidence from his investigation against the officers. Here's what the governor said just a little while ago. I know the attorney general talks about the truth, and I talk about the truth. I think we ought to let the people of Kentucky see all of that evaluate and come to the truth. I believe that it is fully appropriate to do at this point in time, Put it all on line. The attorney general has said that he won't do that for now, because of the charges brought yesterday against the one former officer Onda also that pending FBI investigation so briefly, Adrian, you're watching for more protests there in Louisville tonight. There will be more protests. You know, The police say that they're going to continue to enforce the curfew, which is still in effect. Police say that they will do the same thing they did yesterday. They have today arrested more than 100 protesters yesterday. I should also say Marie Louise that we're expecting to hear from Briana Taylor's family tomorrow. NPR's Adrian Florido reporting from Louisville tonight. Thanks, Adrien.

Trees Are Key To Fighting Urban Heat, But Cities Keep Losing Them
"Yesterday that low income areas of major u._s. Cities are often hotter order than wealthy neighborhoods. It's the finding of an investigation from n._p._r. And the howard center for investigative journalism at the university of maryland today we look at one of the best ways to beat the urban heat trees american cities are losing nearly twenty nine million trees every year. Many are struggling to reverse that trend that includes louisville kentucky which compared to its surroundings has been getting hotter faster than any other u._s. City n._p._r.'s mega anderson reports. Any hagler is walking down her block in park divall a lower income neighbourhood on louisville's west side. It's lined with single family homes and well kept tidy yards. First of all is my neighborhood and i love love it even without the things that i would want to have here things like trees. She points to a small scraggly one in the grassy patch running down her street. That's the the median right there. They've got a tree in there but it's one tree. There's another small tree behind it and there are parts of this neighborhood with more trees but overall data shows the canopy here is about half the city average. Hitler says she thinks trees were just not a priority park. Vol used to be the site of a massive asif public housing complex that was demolished and construction started here in the late ninety s c after twenty years. If we had thought differently about the design zayn we might have put more trees here across louisville wealthier neighborhoods have as much as twice the tree coverage as low income areas many of which are communities of have color jad daily is president and c._e._o. Of the nonprofit american forests he says that pattern is often the case nationwide. If we show you a map the tree canopy in virtually any sitting america were also showing you a map of income and in many cases were showing you a map of race ethnicity in ways that transcendent calm trees aren't just pleasant their key to fighting heat view live in an area and cities that seeing more extreme heat days but you don't have tree covered a cool down your neighborhood. The can literally be a a life or death issue according to an analysis by n._p._r. In the howard center low income areas of cities across the country tend to be hotter than their a wealthier counterparts. Those areas are hotter in part because they often have fewer trees and that heat can take a toll on health. Here's daily the folks who are least likely to have air conditioning to whether heatwaves the folks who are most likely to have preexisting health conditions that put them at greater risk from those heat waves aren't getting the benefits of trees between two thousand nine and two thousand fourteen forty four states lost tree cover in urban areas according to the u._s. forest service and when it comes to trees many low income areas are already starting at a deficit cad stanfield executive director of louisville grows a nonprofit that plants trees says it doesn't have to be that way. He took me to saint james court in old louisville. It's a boulevard famous for its stately victorian homes and an annual art art fair but we were there to see the huge lush canopy towering over us. If you were to look at an aerial view of this wouldn't look too dissimilar from forest the trees reese shade us almost completely stanfield says it's a reminder of what's possible if trees are part of the plan from the beginning for anybody that plants trees in a city. This is the the goal this is the dream. This is what you hope to create in the cities but even if trees are in the plan maintaining them takes money a lot of money me this year tree maintenance on this street which is about a quarter mile long will cost around twenty thousand dollars according to the neighborhood association the city has planted planted and donated roughly five thousand trees annually since two thousand thirteen but it loses about fifty four thousand every year according to its own assessment too invasive species a._b._c.'s natural disasters and urban development and louisville is facing a thirty five million dollar budget deficit. They've cut funding to emergency police and fire fire services. Mayor greg fischer says he'd like to plant more trees. We've got it wrestle with this great. American challenge people want everything but they don't want to pay for anything. When it comes to planting tens of thousands more he says city government's not going to be able to do all that by itself. He's counting on nonprofits and other institutions to fill in the gaps at the university of louisville's environment institute researchers are trying to make the case that trees are a must have in city budgets jets. They're starting to study called the greenheart project and will plant full grown trees as tall as thirty feet in three square mile area in louisville. The five five year study will measure how the health of hundreds of participants changes and compare them to a nearby control group in short. They're testing trees the same way you test the new drug. The idea was to run. This project is a clinical trial but instead of giving pills we plant trees irony. Bhatnagar is director of the institute food and he says beyond cooling city down studies have linked trees too much more better air quality better stormwater management lower energy costs lower levels levels of stress even a longer life but naga says you can't always isolate trees as the reason those things happen.
