What's up Vlog? We are going up to Canada today for our nephew's first birthday. Stopped at a grocery store to try to find those smart sweets. Smart sweets? The ones that are sweetened with like stevia and or monk fruit.
Max is in the vlog for the kids.
But we couldn't find any at the store we went to. So we're gonna go to another one. But what we did find was this.
Suit.
Superfood bar by Thunderbird. Hazelnut coffee mock up. I am not. I don't usually get bars like this because usually can't have protein bars. This is not a protein bar. Ready? Oh, wait. The ingredients are dates, hazelnuts, almonds, cocoa butter, cacao, vanilla extract, chia seeds, coffee beans, maca powder, Himalayan pink salt. All whole foods. Okay, ready? Taste us.
I think it's going to be like a more grass grainy version of the RX bar.
Really good.
Oh yeah. Oh, and then if they don't have any smart sweets, we can get them some of the sugar free cookie things.
What sugar free cookie things?
I'll show you. I know the. I know the good. This is my. This is my stomping ground from when I eat the shop. Where are we looking for again?
Candy. We definitely passed it in the wrong way.
Where is better have it.
I'm pretty sure I've seen it here before. It's gonna be down here.
Smart, smart, smart.
Could be.
Oh, this side.
Where.
It'S like probably right in front of us. Oh, wait, wait. Right here.
Wow. This will be for Libby. 1, 2, 3. Think they're like watermelon. Oh, these ones are really good. All right, let's go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Steven then Tyler.
Aunt and uncle duties.
It's nice. In the past it would be like messing up your subscription feed. But now it'll just like show up on that channel's home screen. So it boost the home screen is way like. So I went back and put like three or four gold HSM videos.
Let's be honest. We'll do vlog eight today. It might be a little late. I've got a lot of my plate. I did happy to ride.
You did.
All right. So we got vlogs this week. They will stop on Wednesday with the final one. Attempt this today. We've got a handout reading from all washers and lifesaver pool. Exciting.
Cool.
I got two more Tuesday videos recorded yesterday. So we have eight completed. I'm really hoping for number seven, that when I accidentally record a slow mo video that we can just speed it up and sync up with the audio. If we don't, I can redo it. But it was like an hour long video. We can't wait. Are you saying it was like filmed on slow quick. It was 2.5 speed. Because it was like on that third setting. Yeah. Oh yeah. I can't. No, there's no audio. I know there's no audio, but like what if you just timed it up with like. Oh, with the mic. Yeah, I have the mic. I have the mic. I shot it yesterday afternoon. I was like super stoked and I. It was like 18 gigabytes of whatever. Yeah. Anyways, 5, 8, 9. I felt like I actually hit my shot on the 8 on like I feel like I finally figured out what to do on those. The video that Bri and I will record day, we won't record internally. It was agree on the osmo. But what we're going to do for the Field Force mobile app, Instead of like talking about the Field Force mobile app, I'm just going to go make a. A video for the main channel about how to use video in your business. We're going to go to plenty of different spaces around like the shop, my parents house, family's all over the place showing actual use cases. That's all I got.
Mike came home a little bit early this afternoon so we can knock out a video that he wants done for his main channel on Friday. He forgot his ring so he had to go run and grab it. That's right, my married man. We're gonna be driving around to get some clips because what exactly is the gist of this video?
5 Massive Secret Hacks to use video in your business to scale it to $50 million.
He's gonna be showcasing his new Field Force app. Correct? I mean what your field force?
Apparently not mine.
But yes, the team all of copilot soon to stay tuned.
Hey, don't. You can't say that.
Wait, no one knows that you're cut anyways. Pointing this way.
Well, you're gonna be squinting a lot this way, aren't you?
Hip hop with focus. Today I'm gonna share with you 5 secrets to use video in your home service business so you can take it to the next level.
Michael's a one take wonder.
Don't lie.
He may as well be. Let's be for real comp. Literally anyone else. He gets it done so fast.
He did a one take five times.
That's true.
Gotta give the editors options.
It's true. You did it for the first time five times.
Yep.
And now we are heading to the Bellingham shop to get more clips like it. So I kind of, like, tried to explain what you're doing, but I probably didn't do it justice. It's for the Field Force app.
Well, instead of doing, like, an ad, like, go check out Field Force, we're just gonna be like, here's how to use video in your business. And it makes it easier if you have Fuel Force because it just directly integrates into the software.
He's a genius marketing genius right here.
I wouldn't call it that. I would call it.
I would. That's what you have a wife for. Brag on him for things he would never brag about. But we headed to the Mellingham shop. Wind is a little crazy, obviously, so hopefully you can hear me over that. But this is the only one that Mike owns now since he's holding Mount Vernon one. But these were the guys park. That is the storage unit where the office is and the dump yard. Was this the first ever Augusta location?
Well, it started in Blaney, but then we moved here. Yeah. Yeah. This is number one.
Yeah.
Shop space that they paid 500amonth for. Why? Their storage space was one of these storage containers, and that location is 850,000. That's all they use. And those types drop literally.
To end off. The afternoon of filming, we came to one of our favorite steakhouses. It's kind of. Not kind of far away from us, so you don't come very often. But since we were in the area filming videos, we decided why not to noir one of our favorite steakhouses. The decoration is a little bit odd. It's a little bit eccentric, if you will. Like.
The Halloween decoration is out, and it's pretty random. But anyways, while we wait for our food. We haven't even ordered yet. I'm waiting on Mike to go back to the bathroom. But while we wait on our food, we're going to watch the vlog that came out today on Mike's main channel. I believe it's day eight. Yeah, day eight of the RV vlogs. So we're gonna watch it while we wait on our food to come out. Do you have any thoughts after filming today?
Hungry, too.
I'm so ready to eat. All right, let's watch this vlog.
Come out.
Oh, we have surprises. Yeah, I totally forgot. Oh, wa. They came already. Whoa. They look really good.
Do you like them?
Yeah. The print clothes quality is nice.
They're so perfect.
What's the print?
I have no idea. Actually. I need to look, but it's not grainy at all. It's so good. I don't know what it is, but take one of the pictures off the wall. Just like, pop it off. Actually, maybe don't do that. But it's magnetized.
Oh, wow.
There's like a square, sticky thing that you just stick on the wall, and it magnets to the back of the frame.
Yeah. I have to say.
Is it crooked?
I did it by myself, to be fair. What's.
Where.
Where is it crooked? In the middle or this one? Okay. Can you just push it up?
Oh, it's just magnets.
Yeah, yeah. Oh, great. I know, right?
Okay, I'll adjust all of them.
Michael has such a good eye for these things. I don't. I was just, like, happy to get them on the wall, but they did come in finally. I haven't even shown the vlog. That was the first time I've seen it. Is it up to Michael standards now? Did he fix them?
That line's perfect. See the cut line of the paint? That's tricky.
Oh, you're right.
It's okay. Oh, there was a number one. Number two.
Okay, well, it's just what I made for dinner. Oh, Michael, what is.
Oh, you made Indian curry.
It's not Indian. It's Thai. But Michael has been asking for, like, a Thai curry soup, and I did make it.
So is it like keto? Ish.
Yeah. Then for dessert, I made a keto pumpkin pie because you didn't get to try the one that Liz had. So today is a very, very exciting day for Michael because.
Field Force launched.
We launched the Field Force app.
Look at that.
But that has no idea, no reason as to why we are showing you this video.
The real reason why Michael wanted to.
Film real video is that.
Massacre.
So walk us through this situation.
Okay. Basically, this is supposed to be like, happy launch. Supposed to say happy launch. It's like, happy launch. So this is like a keto, a chocolate keto fudge with a hard shell chocolate topping. And then I was like, why don't I just melt some white chocolate? And I don't have any piping bags at the tip, so I put it in as a pocket bag, snip the tip off, and try to pipe it. So that's why it looks the way it does. And it's horrible. This is also just like, leftover white chocolate.
So it looks like a little baby knew how to spell and just, like, pooped out.
Hardly knew how to spell that.
Hardly knew how to poop.
Horrible. And then we have, like, Actual peanut butter keto protein bars. So, you know, gotta celebrate the launch day.
Yeah. Amazing.
All right, taste test. I want you to know that this part is gonna be better.
We're eating the H in launch day. This is supposedly not very good.
The topping is not. It's too coconut oily.
Too coconut oily.
But the base is good.
But the base is good.
What.
Only is bad?
This does not have the coconut layer on it. And it's white chocolate with the base.
Really good. What is something less rich as, like, a base? Like a crushed almond base.
Okay.
Or like a crushed nut layer.
Pecans or something.
Yeah.
I think you like the protein bar.
If you would just made this, I would. This is like fudge.
Yeah.
Wow.
This is a chocolate peanut butter protein bar. It's not very, like, you know, brick, like.
Like a normal protein bar, but, like, brittle. Oh, wow. Oh, wow.
It's so good. I gotta share this with the vlog. All right, folks, I got a better colored Oala. The other one was light yellow with a story behind it. Liz got one for Nick. I saw it sitting on the desk, and my heart desired after it. I said I really coveted. I coveted. That was the word I was looking for. Thank you. Liz bought me another one. So more fashionable, you know, more mustard. We had the brown for Augusta, the yellow. Oh, just fantastic.
I feel like I have to give a better explanation to this, what we showed you guys last night. Basically, as we said, Mike's field force app launched yesterday. The team did an excellent, excellent job, and it looks phenomenal. So I was like, you know what? I had just made this, like, carnivore fudge situation. I should, like, try to pipe something on it, you know, decorating a cake in celebration of the launch. And so I melted Lily's chocolate down with butter, and it didn't go so great because the white chocolate, for some reason, is grainy. Anyways. Anyways. So I also didn't have, like, a proper piping bag or piping tip, so I just did it out of a Ziploc bag and, like, cut the tip off.
And it, you know, obviously we dug into it and I cut it up, but it was supposed to say happy launch day. It ended up only saying happy launch, and I couldn't fit the day on there. Anyways, so proud of Mike and the team for getting the app out. They've been talking about it for so long. When we were in Nashville back in August, I think it was in August, July or August. Like, that's when the beta app came out. And I think they were planning to release like the next month, but, you know, whenever you're releasing something that big, you want to make sure that it is all ready to rock and roll. There's no bugs or anything. So the team did a fantastic job. I'm so excited for them. Now the next big thing is the Black Friday launch and Mike is going to be releasing his book then. So we are so looking forward to that. Also, I got Mike's reaction the other day, but I am in love with our wedding photos. They turned out so good. I don't even know, like, what material this even is, but the print turned out so good. The frames are amazing. I don't know why I didn't do that sooner. I don't really have blues in here anymore. Besides that, that doesn't even count. It makes just so much more sense, color scheme wise and everything to have that there instead of the blue cityscape situation. I had a picture sitting in Mike's office. I don't even know what I want to do with it. Also, everything in Mike's office is so random. I actually feel really bad. This is the reality of living in an apartment. Whenever you don't have, like a ton of space. There's the picture, there's me. And then we have this like little deep freezer that we got once we got our last cow. We did not have enough room in our fridge freezer. So it's basically full of just a bunch of ground beef and some roasts. But anyways, my point is he just has the most random, random things in his office. My goal is he'll probably watch this, so it's not really surprised. My goal is whenever we get a house, whenever that may be next year, in two years, whatever. I want to make him the coolest office. I want to decorate it all nice, make it very, like, man cavey feel. I know what his taste is because we honestly like the same taste whenever it comes to decoration. So I really want to do that for him. And I honestly, I offered, I wanted to actually do it to his office. That's still pending. Honestly, I'm. I'm still thinking about it. But, like, we're just working with what we have right now. And we both know that what we have here is not permanent. So I kind of have a hard time, like, spending money or putting holes in the wall or whatever in a place where we know we're not going to stay for a long time. Because I want to buy a bunch of things for this apartment and make it like really great. And then everything not really makes sense in our new house whenever we move. So, yeah, we'll see. That is possibly a project for the future.
I would just like to take a moment to brag on my husband's very, very fashionable outfit. There's one thing I've never had. There's multiple things. There's. One of the things I've never had to worry about with Mike is his sense of style. Because look at this. Completely coordinated his shoes with his pants and shirt. Lulu vest. Look, look. What do you have to say for yourself?
What I have to say. Is this a fit check?
Yes, go ahead and give a fit check. So all the wives know where to get their husband's clothes.
Okay. Well, I got these because they are Co Pilot colors shoes.
They look amazing.
I got those three years ago when we launched Co Pilot.
And then I got so clean still, too.
I washed them. And then I got my white Lulu pants, which I love. Then I got my. I think it's called, like, waffle grid or something. I have three Lulu. Three Lulu vests. I love all three of them in their own special way, kind of like your kids. And then I have Lulu shirt. I have all Lulu on. Yep. And then I got a new oala drinky because I was wanting Nyx at the office, and so Liz noticed that I was coveting, and so she bought me one that actually has a good yellow shout out to Liz. Good yellow instead of bright neon yellow like the usual one.
I had amazing fit check by my very, very fashionable husband. Any.
What are we doing today, Benna?
Our usual Saturday routine, which is we're gonna go get a coffee and we're gonna go work.
Yeah.
At our favorite coffee shop.
Yep. Anyways, hiring. Hiring. Big finance role at the business.
Do you want to expand on that?
There'll be 29 people in the past week, so Michael is bandwidth for interviewing is very low.
Making moves.
But we whittled down to eight, and we whittled down to two, and I'm offering a job to one. And if they say no, I offer it to another person. But I really hope she accepts.
I think you have someone. I think you do have someone.
She's solid. Really good.
Look at this. These beautiful fall fall colors. Anyways, thank you so much for watching the vlog.
Put the bug in your hair.
No, I'm good.
The bug in your hair. See benefit.
I do this for volume when my hair is wet. And Michael calls it a bug. Can you take it off so I can do the outro?
Oh, it's a bubble movie.
Thank you. All right, that is it for this vlog. Thank you so much for watching. Hope you have a great day. We'll see you next time. Bye. Bye.
Happy fowl. Happy fowl. Happy Pompom spice Wata.
