Where did you get your trading cards printed? So I got a pretty specific question from one of my YouTube viewers, love you guys, Jason. He was asking about my trading cards. I made a line of famous entrepreneur trading cards. I'll bring it up close to the camera here called Entrepreneur Heroes, and I basically partnered up with bloggers from around the world and asked them, who's your favorite famous entrepreneur? I love baseball cards, so I wanted to create my own Baseball card series for entrepreneurs. That's what I did. And Jason asked me where I got them printed. So the company I used is a great company. It's called custom-tradingcards.com. The founder is Gavin. Easy guy to work with, great guy to work with, has tons of great ideas, and had a really high-quality product that I went with. I was selling these and all the profits went to support entrepreneurs in Africa through Kiva, and we raised over $50,000 through the campaign. I now though do have a lot of inventory left of these, and I wanted to see if there was a creative way that you guys could come up with to, uh, to get rid of some of these and help out some entrepreneurs as well. I'm moving my office and I don't have as much storage space in my new office and don't want to lug all these things with me. So I'm going to open it up. I'm going to open up a pack and you guys can see what these are all about. And if you have a creative idea for how to do a giveaway then I wanna hear it. So let me open up the pack so you guys can see what's inside. Bring it closer. So what I did was I partnered up with bloggers and asked them who's their favorite famous entrepreneur and made cards around that. So first up we have Michael Arrington. So he's the founder of TechCrunch, and that was from John Chow. That's his favorite famous entrepreneur. And each one has a quote from the famous entrepreneur and some details about them and a true story. Then this one is Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon.com. That was from Andy Beal from AndyBeal.com. Then we have Jane Saunders and Peggy Short. These guys were hard to find a picture of. I remember having to go and have a hard time finding their picture. They are the original founders of The Body Shop. They had a company called Body Time as well, and that was from Danny Sullivan from Search Engine Land. Jeff Hawkins, and that was from Dylan Twainey from Wired. And then Howard Rheingold, and that was from B.L. Ochman. So each pack is slightly different. You can see again, it's kinda high, high quality. Card's super glossy and it's a nice packaging too. Each pack is different and again, you could check out the website custom-tradingcards.com. I hope that answers your question, James, but I also wanna know how can I use these cards to help entrepreneurs? 'Cause I got lots of them left and I wanna figure out a good way. So send me your creative ideas, leave a comment below, let me know what you think. Maybe we can have some fun with it. I'm excited to hear what you come up with. Thank you guys for watching. Believe. Give it a thumbs up. See you guys.
