like what are we doing wrong and like I don't know it's just a lot for me
especially for to take it in because I know that business isn't personal and
it's so important to remember that but for me everything is personal
hi good morning we got yep
hello everyone well hello everybody hello everybody welcome back to another
vlog and check out the size of this ship
they told me to bring the van onto this side I don't know where I'm supposed to
go normally we don't come to Mercedes to get our service done because it's muy
caro which means very expensive we have a guy in Toronto that does all of our
stuff but seeing how we're out in Vancouver it's good to get it
professionally looked at and that way they can give us a diagnosis of what
needs to be done and if we can wait then we'll get everything actually chopped up
and finished in Toronto and if not and we'll have to bite the bullet and pay
for these free teas that they give you
got a business call this morning so we just quickly came back to the man hey
Ryan good I got back on the line as well I just like to point out something
bothering me and Aemon saying that he's gonna edit this out I spent all day
yesterday doing like four loads of laundry is that to aim it I can't put
your clothing away cuz I don't know how you organize your little area and he
said I promise I'm gonna clean it up nice a mess it up that's all your stop
its brand clean you just help me shoot the smoothie scene our car is ready to
go in the shop and we're just making series that's pretty classic
that just smells are smelly oh I'm a man that's upset
we got our smoothies we're gonna buckle down and get some work done here for
Sadie's new dealership huge homework the hardest part of van life but not a lot
of people are talking about which we don't really like to talk about is that
when your van needs servicing when you have a breakdown you lose your home you
lose your car and you lose your office space mmm it's only 11 o'clock they just
called us and the van is done taking the venison hot water here okay we made it
to Squamish we are starving so we're gonna have some food at the grocery
store can't wait so hungry must eat food
different healings I'm ready to shop now now we can shop
mission complete we survive we're gonna probably make lunch in the parking lot
and then continue to Whistler so we're just finishing up lunch it was pretty
fantastic our toasted tomato salad is and we figured we just quickly click on
the vlog here because we're at this crossroads in our lives where you know
we only have so many hours today and where do we spend that time and we love
making videos and you know what that allows the lifestyle that comes with it
but it's hard to be a creator and I think a lot of people don't necessarily
talk about that but just like the severe lows and severe high is that the
industry is and also just entrepreneurship in general totally ah
it's very lonely it's the loneliest the loneliest career path you could choose
it's so weird cuz we were just with so many people now that I know what you're
saying but you know what I mean like like when you have a normal job it's
like you you see people you connect with people you have a boss other people you
can say oh my boss was being such a dick like all these different things my
workload is too much because they don't understand whatever and then at the end
of the day you get your paycheck and so it's no big deal but I think that for me
I wasn't really a born entrepreneur I'm very risk adverse and so when we start
talking about wanting to the family and like I look at my siblings who are
really stable and I look at some of my friends we're getting married and it's
just like and friendships to like even you know like we've changed a lot in the
past even three years yeah where it's like we're not friends with the same
people we don't have the same shared interest so I think and like back the
way you touched on the like born entrepreneur thing if you don't
understand what that means it's I think it's really just about the environment
you're being brought up then so like my dad like I went to his office I saw the
vision I saw the lifestyle you didn't really you didn't see that maybe it's oh
that's why it's like easier for me to digest if I
that we could do this on her own yeah but with everything that's happening in
your life I find it so weird that you aren't more risk adverse yeah but I'm
just a believer like I just there's no other way to be you know what I mean I
think I am an entrepreneur and it's like if I'm gonna live life being Who I am
how can i yeah I don't know I'm sorry that this is just a random piece of this
vlog but I think it's really important that you guys know that it's not always
easy and it's not like I'm down on myself like I really do know that we're
gonna do great things and I want to have like a really beautiful impact on the
world and I think that we can do that with this community for me it's like not
about making the most money or any of that kind of stuff it's just it's just I
have days like today when I feel like especially with the last couple of
months yours with our company like we literally
invested 24 hours a day every day we were at festivals and this and selling
every day I'm working so so hard and like you sacrificed a lot to get that
off the ground and now we're like taking some time away from focusing on what
we've just built to try to build something else and so it's kind of
stressful too like you're you were saying it but like where do you spend
the time and yeah it's just a lot maybe I should fill them in on what's happened
because it might not this story might not make sense you know this morning the
call that we're on was one of our largest accounts and they have decided
that they are moving forward with a different product so that was that's a
big pill to swallow and it's something that we knew about last week but we had
one more call with them and it's a key learning for us as a single SKU business
like we just sell chai so they're going with a tea supplier that has everything
we have partnerships with other teas tea companies but overall I don't want to
get into the Nitty Gritty it's just it's a lot to hear that right and like they
just keep reiterating I'm nothing to the product has nothing to
their service that what made it so hard to switch was how much they loved us and
yada yada yada but this the end of the day you're gonna sit here and be like
what are we doing wrong and like I don't know it's just a lot for me especially
for to take it in because I know that business isn't personal and it's so
important to remember that but for me everything is personal and I think
that's why I succeed in a lot of ways because I am personal about it and I
will like go above and beyond for my clients but then when they turn around
and make a very businesslike decision it's really hard so anyways it's it's
just I was telling a man that I feel like it's brought this existential
crisis like the past week I've just been thinking so much like I just had a
birthday and not that I'm old or anything but you know we we've started
talking about a family and obviously we want all of these things were just not
doing it traditionally and sometimes that isn't always easy to navigate and
in turn is something that you know drives me to just question things and
it's again I don't know why I'm crying it's so silly it's like I love our life
and I love what we're doing and I want to keep doing it but Dad the day it's
like this isn't stable like you know we're like we're capable of going out
and getting normal jobs and living that normal life and I know we are and like
you were saying that scares me even more to just like that be it but there's
something that I don't know anyways it's just a spiral you have no idea like once
you start is feel better talking about yeah I'm sorry if it's depressing I
don't think it's a president I think people will really want to watch this
and and know that it is difficult to be greater and if you're watching this no
aspiring to be I don't even think you're just using the word creator because I
think it's all fun or in general because more so yeah you're right it is an
entrepreneur at the same time it's like YouTube has like it's not like you know
you go to the farmers market every Saturday yeah and you show up and you
hustle and you make more money yeah YouTube is like you work on a video that
you think is gonna be the bread and butter of all
and it tanks yeah and you know title and thumbnail was off boom year year yeah so
that's very difficult it's very difficult for people understand that and
to look at you know the amount of subscribers someone has and take all
they must be making so much money like it's a very unfair statement anyway our
video has turned into a rant but we just want to let you know that we do
appreciate you and we want to fill you in more on like our lives and like
what's happening yeah so I think this is maybe a good place to insert a little
plug for the podcast I thought you were going to say tie company no no yes
definitely we want to start a podcast and we want it we've started a podcast
we've started a podcast it's called reroute spell re are not
available anywhere um it's gonna be awesome
it's the idea of taking the word reroute like re-routing your life or what GPS
reroute to you or whatever sorry we lost battery there where you want to you get
more real with you guys about the behind the scenes of our business life you know
chats that maybe take 40 minutes to get through that don't really belong on
youtube but could belong on our podcast I'm not sorry
you can go nowhere he had my not I was just gonna say we also want to showcase
and tell the stories of other people and when they rooted in their lives and the
stories behind their journey and all that kind of stuff it's gonna be very
exciting it's not gonna be like some of those melodramatic sorry we've started
we've recorded our first episode we've got a few hosts lined up and right now
are you gonna get I guess lined up and we will let you know as soon as that is
available so chief ill plug for the podcast we're now podcasters as well
which just makes me think like why the heck are we taking on more when but
anyways it's all good everybody let's give back some love in the comments no I
don't love shitty support I want to give you guys to know if I don't want to be
like that I want to just give them love well you've given them a lot of love

some more of that because she really really appreciates it and me too I like
it when mike tells me what you guys were saying all right buddy let's end this
depression and drive to Whistler we might go to a spa if it's on machine
today was like get Trinity checked up and I think it's like a mental health
day for us and we had an offer to go to a spa so I think we're gonna take them
up oh we get offers to go to spa
literally on the Reg people are like hey dude if you're in this area I've got
this for you you guys are freaking amazing so I know it we ain't
complaining no more I'm not I wasn't just kidding I mean I was just
trying to be real and tell you that like I it's hard yeah

chili and we didn't make chili yada-yada-yada love you lots guys you
body couldn't do life without you I just wouldn't want to I mean I could but I
wouldn't want to damn buddy you're the star that brightens my sky stuff just as
easy for me to say I could see him often I feel like they should start saying it
more often he always tells me I never tell her I
love her enough but I know you say you love me but I would like more words of
affirmation every once in a while like you look pretty today
I tell you beautiful literally every single day all right
you're beautiful too I don't get that enough I don't think oh you're kidding
do you guys think that a man should give me more more words of affirmation go
