Okay, on another note, how long you been with Thrift form or been affiliated with the brand?
Been affiliate with the brand since 2019. You could tell that there was something different about the brand. And it wasn't just about selling supplements. It was about making people better and about changing their nutrition around first. Changing their mental capacity around for working out, for just making them better at life in general. I was just blown away at the approach they're really about taking care of people and the approach to the nutrition side of things. Making sure that people are eating right, being healthy, doing all those things from the app to the inspirational stuff on Instagram, to the way that they outreach into the communities. And the products are amazing.

The products are top notch to top it off. So they hold a standard that not many others do in the fitness community, period.
