From DIY Wooden Flags to Patriotic Entrepreneurship:

Another LIVE podcast today from inside my This Old Garage restoration project. Today we talked about Patriotic Entrepreneurship with Dyann and Jason of Skibinski Flag Company upon their delivery of my new Thin Violet Line wooden flags! This is a wife and husband dynamic duo who work the front lines of our respected medical profession. We love sharing the side hustle inspirations that turn entrepreneurial, especially from our local city of Bethlehem from the Great Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania.

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

10:00 – Our first flag was April of last year, 2019. Just getting around to a year at this. Not even at a year. You just fire you just finished your hundredth flag. Well, actually I’m actually at 103 right now.

20:30 – We’re going to be making the gun concealment flags and tables one day soon too. I made one coffee table that’s in our apartment right now. When you’re moving into a furniture price, that is another level.

30:00 – I was hoping that was your shop. As soon as I saw that, I was like, look for the flag and you will find me. You have to peer through my patriotism to get into this building.

40:00 – As of 2020 how many different flags are you making? I mean, I’m just gonna keep adding new ones. As you know, if anybody approaches me and they’re like, hey, can you put this on, I just say yes. For example, like their department logos? I’ve done EMS ones with their custom logo. I have a guy actually in Arizona that makes the stencils for me. So it’s one-time use until I start to get into that or I get Dyann into it.

50:00 – That’s again where she stepped into it when I was running myself dry in the beginning because I was going all over the place. If somebody lived two hours away and they reached out to me on Facebook, I’d be like, you know I can meet you halfway at an hour, right? So think about an hour there, an hour back, I was losing time and that’s gas money. So she shut that down real quick.

56:00 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

Jason:

Honestly, I do provide for my wife and one day our kids, you know, I want to build something that they can be proud of. I want to be humble. I don’t like to be like, hey man, these are the coolest flags, like yeah, you can find better flags out there too.

Dyann:

We came a long way and not even a year later he wasn’t sure it was gonna come to anything. The first day he was like, hey babe, I want to do this, do you? A DIY project? I was just like, okay, and the first flag came out horrible. I won’t lie. The blue was over here, the stars were all over the place. But his mom actually has our first flag. She kept that, she’s gotta have the origins.

057: Pure Vitamin Club Launches B12 Over The Pond

Scott Mulvaney — Mon, 13 Mar 2017 15:00:00 +0000

B12 Product Release CoHosting:

On this episode, we have the return of our co-host from episode 24, Andy Schreiber. He is the Co-Founder of Pure Vitamin Club and he is back to talk about their latest B12 product release while launching Pure Vitamin Club overseas in the UK and beyond. Andy digs into how the B12 supplement was made and why we should be taking this particular supplement.

No additives, No fillers, Vitamins, Magnesium

On This Episode You Will Hear:

[spp-timestamp time=”01:02″] Pure Vitamin Club have just brought in a Digital Marketing Agency to take them to the next level.

[spp-timestamp time=”01:53″] All new businesses that are trying to build a successful business should be reinvesting back into the business within the first 3 to 5 years. Andy and Vinnie never wanted to put the health of the company at risk, they have built the company up so much that they are now at a point where they can safely reinvest into it and take it to the next level.

[spp-timestamp time=”02:51″] Andy was from a film distribution background at Playboy. Building for the future.

[spp-timestamp time=”05:05″] Chip 4.0. We have to be our own Life Doctors and start questioning what we are learning and what we are putting into our bodies.

[spp-timestamp time=”11:56″] Being approached by Walmart.com, selling on Amazon and staying true to their brand.

[spp-timestamp time=”16:28″] Selling across the pond (UK & Beyond) and the complications that were involved when forming the UK Business Accounts. Pure Vitamin Club should be launching in the UK in Mid April’17.

[spp-timestamp time=”19:48″] Signing a deal to sell in Europe.

[spp-timestamp time=”21:42″] The scheduled launch for the UK was January now it is April 2017.

[spp-timestamp time=”22:40″] Patents and trademarking the supplements. It has taken a lot of blood, sweat and tears to create the products you see on the website. These are pure vitamins. No fillers or bulking agents are in the product. Andy interviewed 40 manufacturing partners to get the vitamins made. He only found 2 out of the 40 that were willing to make them.

[spp-timestamp time=”24:56″] The power of networking.

[spp-timestamp time=”26:18″] Their new product, Vitamin B12. Why it was so tough to produce and how they are made. The best way to absorb B12 is sublingual (abbreviated SL, from the Latin for “under the tongue”).

[spp-timestamp time=”36:23″] Andy spoke before on Episode 24 about adding some peppermint flavoring to the B12 tablets but they have since decided against it. Most vitamins you would buy from the supermarket contain 4 to 5 components listed in the ingredients section of the label. This B12 product from Pure Vitamin Club has only two, B12 and Calcium, that is it!

[spp-timestamp time=”39:40″] Magnesium is a mineral that a lot of us are deficient in, especially many who live the Vegan and Vegetarian lifestyle.

[spp-timestamp time=”42:16″] “If You’re Not Embarrassed By The First Version Of Your Product, You’ve Launched Too Late” ~ Reid Hoffman of LinkedIn Quote.

[spp-timestamp time=”46:11″] Marketing, Psychology and good Customer Service.

[spp-timestamp time=”53:49″] Why everyone should be taking a B12 supplement.

[spp-timestamp time=”57:00″] Final Words

[spp-tweet tweet=”Whatever challenge you face you can figure it out @AndySchrei @PureVitaminClub embodies this!”]

Final Words

All the time we are presented with challenges that make you think, “I don’t know how to do that”. Take a minute, stop and say to yourself, I don’t know how to do that? Then decide how to figure it out and then execute on it. Whatever challenge you face, you can figure it out. Pure Vitamin Club is a living embodiment of that.
