business entrepreneur,

who's using his
talents to glorify God.
00:00:03.67\00:00:05.93
My name is Jason Bradley,
00:00:05.97\00:00:07.44
and you're
watching Urban Report.
00:00:07.47\00:00:09.70
Hello, and
welcome to Urban Report.
00:00:34.10\00:00:36.06
My guest today is Vuong Doan,
00:00:36.10\00:00:38.30
and he is
determined to spread the gospel
00:00:38.33\00:00:40.27
in a very unique way.
00:00:40.30\00:00:41.90
Welcome to Urban Report Vuong.
00:00:41.94\00:00:43.27
Hey, Jason, good to be here.
00:00:43.30\00:00:44.97
Yes, man.
00:00:45.01\00:00:46.34
So there's so much stuff
00:00:46.37\00:00:48.14
that we want to get into
in this particular program,
00:00:48.18\00:00:50.91
but let's take a
look at your background.
00:00:50.95\00:00:52.41
Sure.
00:00:52.45\00:00:53.78
Where did you grow up?
00:00:53.82\00:00:55.15
And were you always Adventist?
00:00:55.18\00:00:58.59
No, I grew...
00:00:58.62\00:01:00.76
I was born in
Vietnam, South Vietnam.
00:01:00.79\00:01:03.06
So I grew up there, and
I came to America in 1994.
00:01:03.09\00:01:07.76
So I've been here for a while
00:01:07.80\00:01:09.13
and I pretty much came
with my family and everything.
00:01:09.16\00:01:12.00
So I kinda I think
I'm more Americanized now.
00:01:12.03\00:01:14.30
Okay.
00:01:14.34\00:01:15.67
Then, you know, like,
00:01:15.70\00:01:17.04
but I can still speak Vietnamese
00:01:17.07\00:01:18.41
and stuff like that.
00:01:18.44\00:01:19.77
Wow.
00:01:19.81\00:01:21.14
Just it takes me a
while to write and stuff,
00:01:21.18\00:01:22.51
but born there, I grew
up in Southern California.
00:01:22.54\00:01:26.68
Okay. That's where my heart is.
00:01:26.72\00:01:28.32
That's why I love California.
00:01:28.35\00:01:30.35
Yeah.
00:01:30.39\00:01:31.82
And currently, I am in Houston,
00:01:31.85\00:01:33.46
so that's why I'm
saying I love California.
00:01:33.49\00:01:35.56
Okay.
00:01:35.59\00:01:37.73
Family they...
00:01:37.76\00:01:39.29
We grew up as...
00:01:39.33\00:01:41.16
The whole family is of...
00:01:41.20\00:01:42.53
Our religion is Buddhism.
00:01:42.56\00:01:43.90
Okay. Yeah.
00:01:43.93\00:01:45.27
Okay.
00:01:45.30\00:01:46.63
And but you're an Adventist now?
00:01:46.67\00:01:48.00
I'm Adventist now, praise God.
00:01:48.04\00:01:49.37
So we need to get into
how all that came about
00:01:49.40\00:01:53.34
and the dynamic
in the family like
00:01:53.38\00:01:56.14
what is it like
being Adventist in a family
00:01:56.18\00:01:59.71
whose primarily Buddhist.
00:01:59.75\00:02:01.75
Oh, totally.
00:02:01.78\00:02:03.65
That's, you know, it
wasn't easy obviously,
00:02:03.69\00:02:07.59
but for me, after high school,
00:02:07.62\00:02:13.13
I guess you get to the age
00:02:13.16\00:02:14.50
where you kinda feel
like you know everything,
00:02:14.53\00:02:16.93
you know, you're on your own.
00:02:16.97\00:02:18.30
You getting to
college and stuff and...
00:02:18.33\00:02:20.07
At the same time,
00:02:20.10\00:02:21.44
it's when you
question life I guess,
00:02:21.47\00:02:24.11
you know, where did I come from,
00:02:24.14\00:02:26.07
where am I going,
00:02:26.11\00:02:27.48
and what's the
meaning of life and stuff.
00:02:27.51\00:02:29.54
And I've always
liked Prophecies.
00:02:29.58\00:02:32.78
Okay.
00:02:32.81\00:02:34.15
Yeah, and so
there was a documentary
00:02:34.18\00:02:38.32
with Nostradamus,
00:02:38.35\00:02:40.06
where he predicted
this king will fall
00:02:40.09\00:02:42.22
or this event will happen,
00:02:42.26\00:02:43.86
and I was blown,
I was fascinated.
00:02:43.89\00:02:46.29
These things he said it
00:02:46.33\00:02:47.66
and it happens like years later.
00:02:47.70\00:02:49.26
But the thing is
those, my friend told me,
00:02:49.30\00:02:53.20
well, he is only 80% correct,
00:02:53.23\00:02:56.40
there's something
that's 100% correct,
00:02:56.44\00:02:58.37
and it's Prophecy,
00:02:58.41\00:02:59.74
and I was curious about it, too.
00:02:59.77\00:03:01.64
Mm-hm. Yeah.
00:03:01.68\00:03:03.01
And, you know, if it's
only 80% then it's not correct.
00:03:03.04\00:03:05.51
That's like okay,
00:03:05.55\00:03:06.92
like how the devil
likes to do it, right?
00:03:06.95\00:03:09.75
He might throw 99% truth
00:03:09.78\00:03:12.92
but he'll put
that 1% lie in there
00:03:12.95\00:03:16.12
and that makes it a
little it's just not truth.
00:03:16.16\00:03:18.39
Hoping to get back.
00:03:18.43\00:03:19.89
Yeah, it's like
would you drink...
00:03:19.93\00:03:22.16
I've heard this before,
00:03:22.20\00:03:24.17
would you take a glass of juice
00:03:24.20\00:03:26.94
that is 99% pure
and, say, 1% poisonous.
00:03:26.97\00:03:32.07
Oh, no. Absolutely not.
00:03:32.11\00:03:33.78
Totally not, no. Absolutely not.
00:03:33.81\00:03:35.78
Yeah, so at that
time, I questioned...
00:03:35.81\00:03:40.35
Actually, I studied,
00:03:40.38\00:03:41.95
tried to study every religion
that's out there, you know.
00:03:41.98\00:03:45.29
Buddhism have fascinating story,
00:03:45.32\00:03:47.52
I liked the story
and the philosophy
00:03:47.56\00:03:50.23
but certain thing
didn't make sense,
00:03:50.26\00:03:51.86
certain thing
didn't get answered.
00:03:51.89\00:03:53.73
So I looked into Islam stuff,
I looked into Judaism, Hindu,
00:03:53.76\00:03:59.33
and Taoism, and
even Christianity
00:03:59.37\00:04:02.74
and study a little
bit each of the histories.
00:04:02.77\00:04:06.78
They all have
fascinating stories
00:04:06.81\00:04:08.51
and everything.
00:04:08.54\00:04:09.88
Mm-hm.
00:04:09.91\00:04:11.25
And even in
Christendom, each one...
00:04:11.28\00:04:13.42
That's where I was confused
'cause there's Catholic,
00:04:13.45\00:04:15.95
there's all
these other Christians,
00:04:15.98\00:04:17.62
and then luckily my best friend,
00:04:17.65\00:04:21.12
he was an Adventist.
00:04:21.16\00:04:23.06
I was like "Who?
00:04:23.09\00:04:24.43
What? What?
00:04:24.46\00:04:25.89
Are you even a Christian?
00:04:25.93\00:04:27.26
What is Adventist, you know?"
00:04:27.30\00:04:28.63
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:04:28.66\00:04:30.00
But he said no, no,
no, Adventist Christian.
00:04:30.03\00:04:32.17
I said okay.
00:04:32.20\00:04:33.54
So they're different
compared to all the Christians
00:04:33.57\00:04:37.04
I have met and stuff like that.
00:04:37.07\00:04:39.91
I noticed, you know, he said,
00:04:39.94\00:04:41.28
"Hey, come to
church, check it out."
00:04:41.31\00:04:43.04
Luckily, he's my best friend,
00:04:43.08\00:04:46.15
the church is
like down the street,
00:04:46.18\00:04:48.92
and, you know, we
were both learning,
00:04:48.95\00:04:51.05
you know, and
those were I believe,
00:04:51.09\00:04:53.66
You know, God just
put those things together.
00:04:53.69\00:04:55.56
Absolutely, that's
definitely divined providence,
00:04:55.59\00:04:57.69
and it sounds
like you were hungry,
00:04:57.73\00:04:59.43
you were searching for answers
00:04:59.46\00:05:00.80
because you were
brought up Buddhist,
00:05:00.83\00:05:03.03
but you weren't finding
the answers that you need.
00:05:03.06\00:05:05.87
It didn't satisfy,
00:05:05.90\00:05:07.24
like the monks
I've have spoken to,
00:05:07.27\00:05:09.57
they kinda did
gave me a vague answer.
00:05:09.60\00:05:12.41
In fact, like everybody
gave me a different answer like,
00:05:12.44\00:05:15.28
"Okay, you know,
what happens when you die?
00:05:15.31\00:05:17.61
Or where did human came from?
00:05:17.65\00:05:19.58
And how does
reincarnation work?"
00:05:19.61\00:05:21.75
Like they have concepts
00:05:21.78\00:05:23.82
but I didn't
hear like about peace,
00:05:23.85\00:05:28.19
I didn't hear about love more,
00:05:28.22\00:05:29.96
I've heard about
just how to live life
00:05:29.99\00:05:33.70
and try to do your best,
00:05:33.73\00:05:35.40
and like, you know, you
are on your own basically,
00:05:35.43\00:05:37.50
that's what I felt like.
00:05:37.53\00:05:38.87
Whereas in the
Christianity world,
00:05:38.90\00:05:42.50
you're on your own
00:05:42.54\00:05:43.87
but there's someone
always that has your back
00:05:43.91\00:05:47.14
'cause sometimes
00:05:47.18\00:05:48.51
you can't just do
everything on your own, right?
00:05:48.54\00:05:50.68
Absolutely not.
00:05:50.71\00:05:53.08
Yeah, we definitely
need the power of Christ.
00:05:53.11\00:05:55.42
Exactly.
00:05:55.45\00:05:56.79
Working in us, on
us, and through us.
00:05:56.82\00:05:58.29
Yeah, so he
brought me to Church,
00:05:58.32\00:06:01.89
and the dashboard on his car
was Amazing Facts study guide.
00:06:01.92\00:06:08.76
And the topic was about
the Second Coming of Christ
00:06:08.80\00:06:14.97
and that one has the prophecy,
the red moon's gonna happen,
00:06:15.00\00:06:18.87
or it happened already, right?
00:06:18.91\00:06:21.74
There's a
prophecy where the stars
00:06:21.78\00:06:23.31
were so bright in the night
00:06:23.35\00:06:24.68
where you could
read the newspaper,
00:06:24.71\00:06:26.05
the stars were falling,
00:06:26.08\00:06:27.42
just several
things that came together
00:06:27.45\00:06:30.19
in the past 100%.
00:06:30.22\00:06:34.19
From Amazing Facts.
00:06:34.22\00:06:35.56
From Amazing
Facts Bible study guide.
00:06:35.59\00:06:37.29
But that was lesson seven,
so I was like there's more?
00:06:37.33\00:06:40.43
Yeah, yeah.
00:06:40.46\00:06:41.80
Yeah, so long story short,
00:06:41.83\00:06:44.13
I studied that on
my own really fast,
00:06:44.17\00:06:48.00
even my best friend was like,
00:06:48.04\00:06:49.37
"Hey, you need to slow down.
00:06:49.40\00:06:50.74
These doctrines, these topics,
00:06:50.77\00:06:53.54
you know, they're heavy topics,"
00:06:53.58\00:06:55.68
but I was eating it up.
00:06:55.71\00:06:57.05
I understood it,
00:06:57.08\00:06:58.41
there's nothing I
was confused about it
00:06:58.45\00:06:59.78
like I went through a few...
00:06:59.81\00:07:01.88
Within a few weeks
00:07:01.92\00:07:03.25
even the advanced Amazing
Facts Bible study guides.
00:07:03.28\00:07:06.35
And I learnt a lot, I learnt
a lot more from those than,
00:07:06.39\00:07:11.16
you know, few people
because it was fascinating.
00:07:11.19\00:07:13.96
Yeah, and you were hungry,
00:07:14.00\00:07:16.00
you knew that
there was something more
00:07:16.03\00:07:17.57
that you needed,
something that you're missing,
00:07:17.60\00:07:19.53
and that was Christ.
00:07:19.57\00:07:20.90
Exactly. That was Christ.
00:07:20.94\00:07:22.27
Now I have been
extremely impressed
00:07:22.30\00:07:25.04
with the ministry in business
that God has blessed you with.
00:07:25.07\00:07:31.85
Tell us a little bit about that.
00:07:31.88\00:07:33.98
You have several things
going on, Vuong, I always...
00:07:34.02\00:07:37.49
I always tease
you when I see you
00:07:37.52\00:07:39.49
about all the different
things you have going on,
00:07:39.52\00:07:42.02
but tell us,
it's really inspiring.
00:07:42.06\00:07:43.73
Tell us about
00:07:43.76\00:07:45.09
some of the
shirts and the websites.
00:07:45.13\00:07:47.50
Tell us about
that. Yeah, totally.
00:07:47.53\00:07:49.40
So I guess I started when...
00:07:49.43\00:07:52.63
How I started and
basically, I think,
00:07:52.67\00:07:59.01
I always wanted to
be an entrepreneur,
00:07:59.04\00:08:00.78
like I always
wanted to work on my own,
00:08:00.81\00:08:02.84
be on my own, 'cause I
did several office jobs,
00:08:02.88\00:08:06.01
I worked for companies,
00:08:06.05\00:08:07.38
and I did like
things but a lot of times,
00:08:07.42\00:08:09.68
it's just routine
and I like changes,
00:08:09.72\00:08:12.42
I like to do
different task and everything.
00:08:12.45\00:08:15.36
I can't be in
the office all day,
00:08:15.39\00:08:17.03
and so from that
like I started to learn
00:08:17.06\00:08:22.90
about how to print t-shirts.
00:08:22.93\00:08:26.60
Wait, let me go back.
00:08:26.63\00:08:27.97
Okay.
00:08:28.00\00:08:29.34
Before I was
baptized in high school,
00:08:29.37\00:08:34.91
I was with like a dancing
screw so we did, you know,
00:08:34.94\00:08:37.68
dancing and stuff like
that, and we needed t-shirts.
00:08:37.71\00:08:40.72
Okay. Yeah. There you go.
00:08:40.75\00:08:42.72
Okay.
00:08:42.75\00:08:44.09
And then we need it
quick, too, so just we,
00:08:44.12\00:08:47.46
we kinda sprayed
paint in different things
00:08:47.49\00:08:49.02
but that's not
how you do shirts.
00:08:49.06\00:08:51.19
But I like
creativity, I like art too,
00:08:51.23\00:08:55.46
so that just makes sense to me
like drawing and graphic stuff.
00:08:55.50\00:09:00.17
Okay.
00:09:00.20\00:09:01.54
And then put
that into a business
00:09:01.57\00:09:03.34
and, you know, you
get printed t-shirts.
00:09:03.37\00:09:04.81
So from that concept basically,
00:09:04.84\00:09:08.74
I started my own
00:09:08.78\00:09:12.28
t-shirt custom
printing, you know, company.
00:09:12.31\00:09:15.85
Which is called what?
00:09:15.88\00:09:17.59
Well, the first one is
called the Shirt Dudes,
00:09:17.62\00:09:21.36
it's another one I worked on,
00:09:21.39\00:09:22.72
and then eventually
leads to SDA Shirts right now
00:09:22.76\00:09:25.36
where I am doing also.
00:09:25.39\00:09:26.73
I'm still running both
00:09:26.76\00:09:28.10
and then I'm starting
new clothing line, too.
00:09:28.13\00:09:30.00
Wow.
00:09:30.03\00:09:31.37
And I'm just...
00:09:31.40\00:09:32.73
I like shirts.
00:09:32.77\00:09:34.10
I see.
00:09:34.14\00:09:35.64
I have a lot of shirts at home.
00:09:35.67\00:09:37.21
Yeah. I would've imagined so.
00:09:37.24\00:09:38.57
My closet is like, you
know, when you go somewhere
00:09:38.61\00:09:41.44
and they giveaway shirts, I say,
00:09:41.48\00:09:42.81
"Well, I have in
home, there's a lot."
00:09:42.84\00:09:44.95
Yes, yes, yes.
00:09:44.98\00:09:46.41
So you basically took
what you were passionate about
00:09:46.45\00:09:48.95
and you combined both interest,
00:09:48.98\00:09:51.45
your passion with art
and creativity and God.
00:09:51.49\00:09:53.46
Art, creativity,
00:09:53.49\00:09:55.76
and then SDA Shirts was born
00:09:55.79\00:09:57.29
because God came
into the picture.
00:09:57.33\00:10:00.10
Hmm, nice.
00:10:00.13\00:10:01.86
Before, I was
doing custom shirts
00:10:01.90\00:10:03.33
for churches and
businesses and schools,
00:10:03.37\00:10:06.27
I started out in my garage.
00:10:06.30\00:10:07.64
Uh-huh.
00:10:07.67\00:10:09.00
Nobody needs to know.
00:10:09.04\00:10:10.37
On the website, it looks
like you're a big company
00:10:10.41\00:10:11.74
but down to my garage,
00:10:11.77\00:10:13.94
but praise God, you
know, I am in a real shop now.
00:10:13.98\00:10:16.21
Yes, I'm in it and
there's a lot of huge companies
00:10:16.24\00:10:18.71
that started it
in somebody's garage.
00:10:18.75\00:10:20.78
You gotta start somewhere.
00:10:20.82\00:10:22.15
Yeah, a lot of, you
know, the big CEOs are,
00:10:22.18\00:10:26.12
you know, famous people
00:10:26.15\00:10:27.49
that we know
started out in garage.
00:10:27.52\00:10:29.29
And so overtime, I
just wanted to do shirts,
00:10:29.32\00:10:34.86
and I pretty much
quit the corporate world.
00:10:34.90\00:10:40.97
There was a point
where I was thinking
00:10:41.00\00:10:43.51
the more I
worked for this company,
00:10:43.54\00:10:45.71
I'm making the company grow,
00:10:45.74\00:10:47.44
I'm making the company expand.
00:10:47.48\00:10:51.05
What am I doing
for God's kingdom?
00:10:51.08\00:10:53.18
Hmm, yes.
00:10:53.21\00:10:54.55
You know like it's...
00:10:54.58\00:10:55.92
I am doing the
best for the company,
00:10:55.95\00:10:57.29
like I'm making this
company like spread out
00:10:57.32\00:10:59.65
and everybody gets to know
00:10:59.69\00:11:01.02
about their
products and services, right?
00:11:01.06\00:11:02.96
But what about God's
product and services?
00:11:02.99\00:11:04.33
Amen.
00:11:04.36\00:11:05.69
Right back.
00:11:05.73\00:11:07.06
Yeah, you want to
build the kingdom.
00:11:07.10\00:11:08.43
You saw the bigger picture.
00:11:08.46\00:11:09.93
Yeah, and so that's when I said,
00:11:09.96\00:11:12.83
"You know I want to
do something bigger,"
00:11:12.87\00:11:14.50
and so I combined
00:11:14.54\00:11:17.97
what I've always been
doing and noticed that,
00:11:18.01\00:11:20.78
you know, I can put
messages on t-shirts
00:11:20.81\00:11:23.14
not just like regular verses,
00:11:23.18\00:11:24.88
that's cool, but are
especially Adventist message.
00:11:24.91\00:11:28.55
Yes, absolutely.
It makes a difference.
00:11:28.58\00:11:30.72
Now we not only have
some of your shirts here
00:11:30.75\00:11:34.42
but we have some pictures
that we want to take a look at,
00:11:34.46\00:11:37.03
and as we look
at these pictures,
00:11:37.06\00:11:38.49
just give us, tell us
briefly what each shirt
00:11:38.53\00:11:40.76
'cause there're some
that has some writing
00:11:40.80\00:11:42.70
that I don't understand.
00:11:42.73\00:11:44.20
That's fine. Yeah.
00:11:44.23\00:11:45.57
So this one is one
of my newest design,
00:11:45.60\00:11:47.90
it's Called To Serve,
00:11:47.94\00:11:49.90
which is our calling pretty much
00:11:49.94\00:11:51.67
we're called to serve worldwide.
00:11:51.71\00:11:53.34
And this is a big
hit with missionaries
00:11:53.38\00:11:56.64
and those who want
to do community service,
00:11:56.68\00:11:58.58
they love this shirt.
00:11:58.61\00:11:59.95
And it comes in
variety of colors
00:11:59.98\00:12:01.35
and it's a popular one.
00:12:01.38\00:12:02.72
This one is
obviously for especially
00:12:02.75\00:12:04.82
the Adventist Christians.
00:12:04.85\00:12:06.82
We celebrate the Lord Sabbath,
00:12:06.86\00:12:09.16
which is
Saturday, the Seventh day,
00:12:09.19\00:12:11.06
and that hasn't changed
and when we celebrate it,
00:12:11.09\00:12:15.20
we're happy, so...
00:12:15.23\00:12:16.56
Since Genesis 2:2,
I bought that shirt
00:12:16.60\00:12:18.37
but that was the first
shirt that I bought from you.
00:12:18.40\00:12:20.44
Awesome. Yeah,
Since Genesis 2:2.
00:12:20.47\00:12:22.80
And this...
00:12:22.84\00:12:24.17
This is... I need a
translator for this.
00:12:24.21\00:12:25.77
You can read this.
I can't get that one.
00:12:25.81\00:12:28.38
So the intension of this shirt
00:12:28.41\00:12:30.55
is people are curious
like what does that mean.
00:12:30.58\00:12:33.35
Yes.
00:12:33.38\00:12:34.72
And when they look closely,
00:12:34.75\00:12:36.08
I said, "Well, it's
actually John 3:16."
00:12:36.12\00:12:38.65
Do you know
what that verse says?
00:12:38.69\00:12:40.16
Hmm, yeah.
00:12:40.19\00:12:41.52
That's a conversation's thought.
00:12:41.56\00:12:42.99
So this is available in Korean,
in Chinese, and in Japanese.
00:12:43.02\00:12:47.03
There you go,
that's the Korean one.
00:12:47.06\00:12:48.40
Nice.
00:12:48.43\00:12:49.76
Yeah, so that one,
people are curious,
00:12:49.80\00:12:51.83
"Oh, that's cool,
that's charactered,"
00:12:51.87\00:12:53.20
but like, you know,
00:12:53.23\00:12:54.57
there's elements of
Jesus in there, too,
00:12:54.60\00:12:56.00
you know, the
Thorn and the Nails.
00:12:56.04\00:12:58.27
Then they see the verse and
go research it in the Bible.
00:12:58.31\00:13:00.08
Yeah, exactly. Smart.
00:13:00.11\00:13:01.44
I like it. It's a
conversation's thought.
00:13:01.48\00:13:02.81
And this one, well,
'cause I am mainly vegetarian,
00:13:02.84\00:13:06.38
part-time vegan and, you
know, we've power by tofu.
00:13:06.41\00:13:11.25
It looks like a
strong block of tofu.
00:13:11.29\00:13:13.76
And Adventist, we're known
to be the third healthiest,
00:13:13.79\00:13:18.23
longest, living people
00:13:18.26\00:13:19.59
according to National Geographic
00:13:19.63\00:13:21.66
that, you know, we live
longer 'cause of our health.
00:13:21.70\00:13:24.43
And the last one is the timeline
00:13:24.47\00:13:27.87
of the 2,300 days Prophecy.
00:13:27.90\00:13:30.07
When you study Daniel,
00:13:30.11\00:13:31.44
it's a whole
expansion of different things
00:13:31.47\00:13:33.64
and that went on the
t-shirt, the whole thing.
00:13:33.68\00:13:36.75
Nice, nice.
00:13:36.78\00:13:38.11
And this one is my best
seller and everyone loves it
00:13:38.15\00:13:41.72
'cause it's a
Prophecy of Daniel,
00:13:41.75\00:13:43.55
it's what I started
with, it's why I love Prophecy.
00:13:43.59\00:13:46.72
And it's what you have on today.
00:13:46.76\00:13:48.39
Yes, exactly.
00:13:48.42\00:13:50.43
Yeah. True.
00:13:50.46\00:13:51.79
And there was, what is this one?
00:13:51.83\00:13:55.06
Oh, yes, the sanctuary,
00:13:55.10\00:13:57.80
you know, the
whole sanctuary message
00:13:57.83\00:14:00.04
on a t-shirt like
who thought of that.
00:14:00.07\00:14:01.60
Well...
00:14:01.64\00:14:03.51
So checking all the
reductions that we all know,
00:14:03.54\00:14:08.61
we've read about
it, we hear about it,
00:14:08.64\00:14:11.11
and now you get
to see it visually.
00:14:11.15\00:14:13.05
Yes. On a picture.
00:14:13.08\00:14:15.08
Yes, and it
creates that conversation.
00:14:15.12\00:14:17.49
And this one is my newest one.
00:14:17.52\00:14:20.06
It's just a simple message
00:14:20.09\00:14:21.52
"Saturday is
still God's Sabbath."
00:14:21.56\00:14:22.89
Okay.
00:14:22.92\00:14:24.26
Since Genesis 2:2,
00:14:24.29\00:14:25.99
established then hasn't changed,
00:14:26.03\00:14:28.40
and it still be kept in heaven,
00:14:28.43\00:14:29.96
there is nowhere in the
Bible that says "We've changed,
00:14:30.00\00:14:33.40
God's changed the Sabbath
from Saturday to another day."
00:14:33.44\00:14:36.24
Absolutely. Yeah, still Sabbath.
00:14:36.27\00:14:37.61
Absolutely, now, we
recognize that both those faces,
00:14:37.64\00:14:41.21
but we
recognized who you're with.
00:14:41.24\00:14:43.31
Tell us about
that. Doug Batchelor.
00:14:43.35\00:14:44.68
Yes, I finally get to met him,
00:14:44.71\00:14:47.15
and I gave him one of the shirts
00:14:47.18\00:14:48.52
and told him why I have
learnt so much from him.
00:14:48.55\00:14:51.82
Mm-hm. Amazing Facts Ministry.
00:14:51.85\00:14:53.19
Mm-hm.
00:14:53.22\00:14:54.56
And so it was just
as fascinating and to,
00:14:54.59\00:14:56.66
I was able to give and
share with him the testimony
00:14:56.69\00:14:59.89
and somehow he made
an influence in my life.
00:14:59.93\00:15:03.43
Wonderful, wonderful.
00:15:03.47\00:15:05.23
Now we also
have this right here,
00:15:05.27\00:15:09.10
which is a license plate cover,
00:15:09.14\00:15:11.81
and it says, "The Seventh
Day Is Still God's Sabbath."
00:15:11.84\00:15:16.21
Now, I have this
on my car right now
00:15:16.24\00:15:18.81
and I can tell you
00:15:18.85\00:15:20.18
that it actually started
some conversations like...
00:15:20.22\00:15:23.35
Awesome.
00:15:23.39\00:15:24.72
I've I had some
conversation with people on so
00:15:24.75\00:15:26.65
what's the Seventh day?
00:15:26.69\00:15:28.26
And...
00:15:28.29\00:15:29.62
You know, where
do you find that?
00:15:29.66\00:15:31.53
So this has come in
handy for a ministry too.
00:15:31.56\00:15:36.77
Yeah, I made that
00:15:36.80\00:15:38.30
because you think
about you're in traffic...
00:15:38.33\00:15:41.00
Thousands of people,
00:15:41.04\00:15:42.60
they're
watching, they're reading,
00:15:42.64\00:15:44.04
and why not, plant
a seed in their mind,
00:15:44.07\00:15:46.84
you know, make them curious.
00:15:46.88\00:15:48.21
Absolutely, so let me
ask you this question.
00:15:48.24\00:15:51.38
Is it just you doing the shirt?
00:15:51.41\00:15:54.12
I mean is it just you running
SDA Shirts and Adventist Hub,
00:15:54.15\00:15:59.69
and we didn't even get
into Adventist Hub yet,
00:15:59.72\00:16:01.72
but we're gonna talk about that.
00:16:01.76\00:16:03.22
But is it just you?
00:16:03.26\00:16:04.89
I'm a business
card that says manager.
00:16:04.93\00:16:07.03
Okay.
00:16:07.06\00:16:08.40
'Cause the owner is God.
00:16:08.43\00:16:09.76
Amen, Amen.
00:16:09.80\00:16:11.13
So yeah, at the
moment, it's just me,
00:16:11.17\00:16:14.70
I've always just tried to
keep my hands in everything...
00:16:14.74\00:16:18.34
And make sure I
have control of things,
00:16:18.37\00:16:20.21
but I guess I
eventually need help in that,
00:16:20.24\00:16:24.15
thanks to my mom and dad,
00:16:24.18\00:16:25.51
sometime, they come on and help.
00:16:25.55\00:16:26.88
Oh, nice, nice.
00:16:26.92\00:16:28.25
Now, are you a member of ASI?
00:16:28.28\00:16:30.02
Yes, I am.
00:16:30.05\00:16:31.39
You are? Yes, ASI member.
00:16:31.42\00:16:33.22
Okay, wonderful.
00:16:33.25\00:16:34.59
And tell us about Adventist Hub.
00:16:34.62\00:16:36.29
What is Adventist Hub?
00:16:36.32\00:16:38.23
Adventist Hub, I'm excited.
00:16:38.26\00:16:41.93
Pretty sure it's all
things Adventists in one place,
00:16:41.96\00:16:45.73
all things SDA like.
00:16:45.77\00:16:47.10
Over there, you
could find the latest news.
00:16:47.14\00:16:48.47
Mm-hm.
00:16:48.50\00:16:49.84
There are latest
events coming up,
00:16:49.87\00:16:51.81
different ministries,
00:16:51.84\00:16:53.31
all kind of good Christian music
00:16:53.34\00:16:56.04
that are from
Adventists singers,
00:16:56.08\00:16:58.98
just a research website,
00:16:59.01\00:17:00.35
like a Yellow
Pages for Adventists.
00:17:00.38\00:17:01.72
Okay.
00:17:01.75\00:17:03.08
I've been working on the site,
00:17:03.12\00:17:04.62
just here and
there when I'm able to,
00:17:04.65\00:17:06.29
but I always wanted to
have a resource, directory,
00:17:06.32\00:17:10.83
to connect
everything in one place,
00:17:10.86\00:17:13.19
and so that would've
helped me at the early times
00:17:13.23\00:17:16.46
when I have just
became Adventist,
00:17:16.50\00:17:18.37
that was how I
could've used them back then.
00:17:18.40\00:17:20.57
Absolutely, it's
like a one-stab sharp.
00:17:20.60\00:17:23.44
You've 3ABN, you've
Dare to Dream on there,
00:17:23.47\00:17:25.97
you have LLBN and HOPE channel,
you have all those channels,
00:17:26.01\00:17:28.98
everything on there.
00:17:29.01\00:17:30.35
You can watch TV.
00:17:30.38\00:17:31.71
Score and everything.
00:17:31.75\00:17:33.08
You can watch this
TV on that website.
00:17:33.11\00:17:34.45
Wow.
00:17:34.48\00:17:35.82
In fact, I'm also putting
live stream on Saturdays,
00:17:35.85\00:17:37.79
where you can watch the
Church on the website, too.
00:17:37.82\00:17:41.02
Nice, nice, nice.
00:17:41.06\00:17:43.39
And so what's next for you?
00:17:43.43\00:17:46.46
I mean wherever God leads.
00:17:46.49\00:17:47.96
Mm-hm.
00:17:48.00\00:17:49.46
You know, I'm
doing this by faith.
00:17:49.50\00:17:52.33
It's...
00:17:52.37\00:17:53.70
I can't do this without Him.
Let's put it that way, right?
00:17:53.74\00:17:55.40
Absolutely.
00:17:55.44\00:17:56.77
Philippians says, you know,
00:17:56.81\00:17:58.14
"I can do all
things through Christ
00:17:58.17\00:17:59.51
who strengthens me," and
He is what strengthens me,
00:17:59.54\00:18:02.51
like to run several
businesses at one time.
00:18:02.54\00:18:04.31
Mm-hm.
00:18:04.35\00:18:05.68
And I give glory
to him in everything.
00:18:05.71\00:18:09.92
So what's next for?
00:18:09.95\00:18:11.35
As the shirts is I
hope it could spread out,
00:18:11.39\00:18:14.16
everybody could see it
00:18:14.19\00:18:15.52
and learn about
the Sabbath truth.
00:18:15.56\00:18:17.39
And eventually, one day,
00:18:17.43\00:18:18.76
I want to meet
everyone in heaven
00:18:18.79\00:18:21.30
that has been
influenced by these t-shirts
00:18:21.33\00:18:23.67
and somehow
connected to a faith.
00:18:23.70\00:18:25.90
And I guess that's where it goes
00:18:25.93\00:18:27.80
and pretty much, it's how,
00:18:27.84\00:18:32.01
I got to keep
going kind of hustle.
00:18:32.04\00:18:33.51
Yeah. Absolutely, absolutely.
00:18:33.54\00:18:36.54
Now, how do people
get in touch with you?
00:18:36.58\00:18:38.25
Now, it they
want a custom shirt,
00:18:38.28\00:18:40.15
how can they get
in touch with you?
00:18:40.18\00:18:42.58
Well, it's a very cool website,
00:18:42.62\00:18:44.39
there is a website called
SDAshirst.com, right there.
00:18:44.42\00:18:48.96
And so, of course, right there,
00:18:48.99\00:18:51.13
that's where you
find these cool shirts,
00:18:51.16\00:18:52.89
but also I'm working, you know,
00:18:52.93\00:18:54.96
I can do custom
t-shirts on the side,
00:18:55.00\00:18:57.07
been able to print
with several ministries
00:18:57.10\00:18:58.60
in the past, and
churches, and stuff like that.
00:18:58.63\00:19:01.04
So yeah, just go there,
00:19:01.07\00:19:02.40
fill out the
form, and get a call.
00:19:02.44\00:19:04.97
Nice. Nice.
00:19:05.01\00:19:06.57
And what advice would you have
for the young person out there
00:19:06.61\00:19:10.78
that is watching this
program and is inspired
00:19:10.81\00:19:14.58
and wants to start
something in ministry?
00:19:14.62\00:19:18.99
Well, see,
everything you do is a ministry,
00:19:19.02\00:19:22.99
and how you connect it together,
00:19:23.02\00:19:25.86
then it become the
part of your ministry,
00:19:25.89\00:19:27.30
and who you invest
time and people with.
00:19:27.33\00:19:29.56
If you are someone who has
the entrepreneurial spirit,
00:19:29.60\00:19:34.84
go for it, go find something
you're really passionate about,
00:19:34.87\00:19:37.41
your talents.
00:19:37.44\00:19:38.77
God has given us talents,
00:19:38.81\00:19:40.14
and He wants us to
maximize and use it.
00:19:40.18\00:19:41.94
And only recent few years
00:19:41.98\00:19:44.41
that I got
there like, I decided,
00:19:44.45\00:19:46.82
'cause I want to do
everything, but God says,
00:19:46.85\00:19:48.55
"You know, you're a graphic guy,
00:19:48.58\00:19:50.22
I gave you
talents for graphics,"
00:19:50.25\00:19:52.09
and so I'm using
the most of that.
00:19:52.12\00:19:54.66
For young person,
pursue it, learn from it,
00:19:54.69\00:19:57.43
you can learn
so much now a days,
00:19:57.46\00:19:59.39
and it's all free as long
as you put the time into it,
00:19:59.43\00:20:02.36
you got to grain
you want to wake up
00:20:02.40\00:20:04.33
and just keep going at it.
00:20:04.37\00:20:07.34
I would say that the way
how internet works right now...
00:20:07.37\00:20:13.21
Mm-hm.
00:20:13.24\00:20:14.58
That's somewhere you
want to be involved with.
00:20:14.61\00:20:16.21
Really, so now is the time.
00:20:16.24\00:20:17.85
Yeah, because I don't
really have a storefront.
00:20:17.88\00:20:20.68
I don't really
want that, I really...
00:20:20.72\00:20:22.55
E-commerce is the
way to go in my opinion.
00:20:22.58\00:20:24.69
Mm-hm. You know I'm just saying.
00:20:24.72\00:20:26.05
Online stores
is a nicer platform
00:20:26.09\00:20:27.42
to do the most
00:20:27.46\00:20:28.79
with the littlest
time that you have,
00:20:28.82\00:20:30.16
that's why I'm able to
have a lot of things going on,
00:20:30.19\00:20:33.26
but I don't have
a lot of employees,
00:20:33.29\00:20:34.63
sort of whatever.
00:20:34.66\00:20:36.00
Yes.
00:20:36.03\00:20:37.37
So without
giving us trade secrets,
00:20:37.40\00:20:40.60
if you will,
00:20:40.64\00:20:42.10
give us a little bit of
insight into the process,
00:20:42.14\00:20:45.04
like what goes in,
00:20:45.07\00:20:46.41
and give us a little bit
of the behind the scenes.
00:20:46.44\00:20:49.28
Behind the scenes. Yeah.
00:20:49.31\00:20:50.65
Well, I wake up in my pajamas
00:20:50.68\00:20:54.08
and sometime I
come to work to noon.
00:20:54.12\00:20:57.42
But I'm working from home,
00:20:57.45\00:20:59.45
that's the beauty of
e-commerce and online
00:20:59.49\00:21:02.19
'cause I worked
everything on my laptop.
00:21:02.22\00:21:04.06
I would say 70% of
my time are laptop time
00:21:04.09\00:21:06.49
really production,
00:21:06.53\00:21:08.26
I dedicate day to do,
00:21:08.30\00:21:10.50
everything as much
as I can and want...
00:21:10.53\00:21:11.90
Mm-hm.
00:21:11.93\00:21:13.27
And just
marketing, just you know.
00:21:13.30\00:21:17.01
What percentage do you think is,
00:21:17.04\00:21:18.84
would you say is, marketing?
00:21:18.87\00:21:20.61
At the moment, I
could improve in that,
00:21:20.64\00:21:24.11
but I believe I
need to improve a lot
00:21:24.15\00:21:26.51
like maybe 60% of our
time should be marketing,
00:21:26.55\00:21:29.65
that's what I
learnt in business school,
00:21:29.68\00:21:31.12
so that should be something.
00:21:31.15\00:21:32.95
Wow, 60 to 70%.
00:21:32.99\00:21:34.46
Yeah. Okay.
00:21:34.49\00:21:35.82
Yeah, it's crazy but
that's where I need to be,
00:21:35.86\00:21:39.53
so that you get out there.
00:21:39.56\00:21:40.96
Wonderful, and what
stories do you have for us
00:21:41.00\00:21:43.63
where you've
sold somebody a shirt
00:21:43.67\00:21:45.70
or someone's seen your
shirt and has come up to you
00:21:45.73\00:21:48.70
and wanted to talk and
find out more about Christ?
00:21:48.74\00:21:52.27
Cool, there is tons
of testimonies I get,
00:21:52.31\00:21:55.68
people with their
words very simple.
00:21:55.71\00:21:58.68
In fact, before SDA
Shirts, I ran another,
00:21:58.71\00:22:02.62
you know, t-shirt company
00:22:02.65\00:22:03.99
that has nothing
to do with Christian,
00:22:04.02\00:22:06.25
but they are
funny, they're good humor.
00:22:06.29\00:22:07.89
And each one I
give a glow track,
00:22:07.92\00:22:09.56
I don't know if you know that.
00:22:09.59\00:22:10.96
Yeah, it's a
portable glow track...
00:22:10.99\00:22:12.33
Okay.
00:22:12.36\00:22:13.70
Given to strangers,
and they contacted me,
00:22:13.73\00:22:16.10
they're like blessed by
it, and stuff like that.
00:22:16.13\00:22:18.07
And that's where I
want to encourage people,
00:22:18.10\00:22:19.77
whatever work, line
of work you're doing,
00:22:19.80\00:22:22.40
how can you emphasize a
ministry path to your work.
00:22:22.44\00:22:24.74
Mm-hm.
00:22:24.77\00:22:26.11
So these were strangers
00:22:26.14\00:22:27.48
who bought a funny
shirt in Australia,
00:22:27.51\00:22:29.74
in France, in
different countries...
00:22:29.78\00:22:31.11
Mm-hm.
00:22:31.15\00:22:32.48
And I give a glow track
00:22:32.51\00:22:33.85
shipping it all
the way over there
00:22:33.88\00:22:35.22
with their t-shirt.
00:22:35.25\00:22:36.58
And that was
tasteful humor. Yeah.
00:22:36.62\00:22:37.95
It was a...
00:22:37.99\00:22:39.32
Oh, yeah. No.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
00:22:39.35\00:22:40.69
No, no. Okay.
00:22:40.72\00:22:42.06
I just wanted to clarify that
for our viewers so they know,
00:22:42.09\00:22:44.03
so it was tasteful humor
00:22:44.06\00:22:45.53
and you provided
them with a glow track
00:22:45.56\00:22:47.33
and that gave them
information that they needed.
00:22:47.36\00:22:50.10
Yeah.
00:22:50.13\00:22:51.47
And for SDA
Shirts, when that started,
00:22:51.50\00:22:55.30
there's just people
who are not Christian,
00:22:55.34\00:22:58.14
they saw the shirt,
they're like, "Hey, brother,
00:22:58.17\00:23:00.64
I'm studying about Daniel
00:23:00.68\00:23:02.01
and I'm kinda confused
about the last part, you know."
00:23:02.04\00:23:04.91
And conversation
started, leads to a Bible study,
00:23:04.95\00:23:08.08
leads to maybe a Baptism,
00:23:08.12\00:23:10.32
and leads to other
people engaging them.
00:23:10.35\00:23:12.85
So just one
t-shirt read and a...
00:23:12.89\00:23:19.79
A seed is
planted. A seed is planted.
00:23:19.83\00:23:21.16
There you go. In their mind.
00:23:21.20\00:23:22.53
Yeah. Uh-huh.
00:23:22.56\00:23:24.00
Wonderful, now what
do your friends think,
00:23:24.03\00:23:26.67
like and I know your
friends had to see you
00:23:26.70\00:23:28.74
constantly working?
00:23:28.77\00:23:30.11
I remember going
to GYC Southwest,
00:23:30.14\00:23:34.48
and I did see on your laptop,
00:23:34.51\00:23:36.18
just plug-in
away, just plug-in away
00:23:36.21\00:23:38.15
on your laptop.
00:23:38.18\00:23:39.51
What are your friends
think when they see you busy?
00:23:39.55\00:23:42.25
Are they inspired,
00:23:42.28\00:23:43.62
are they motivated to
get up and do something?
00:23:43.65\00:23:45.65
I hope to be inspirational,
00:23:45.69\00:23:48.59
I mean, I'm
just doing what I do,
00:23:48.62\00:23:50.93
the thing that's always, I
got to hustle, you know like.
00:23:50.96\00:23:53.40
Yeah.
00:23:53.43\00:23:54.76
Got to hustle, got a
grain, and I work hard
00:23:54.80\00:23:57.10
because I didn't come to,
00:23:57.13\00:23:59.47
my family, we
didn't come here rich,
00:23:59.50\00:24:01.57
we came poor, my
dad worked two jobs,
00:24:01.60\00:24:04.17
and even throughout the nights.
00:24:04.21\00:24:05.87
And like I feel in life now
00:24:05.91\00:24:08.04
where it's my turn to give back.
00:24:08.08\00:24:10.98
Yes. You know what I'm saying?
00:24:11.01\00:24:12.35
Yeah.
00:24:12.38\00:24:13.72
He sacrificed a lot
00:24:13.75\00:24:15.25
and pretty much like
gave a lot of time off
00:24:15.28\00:24:20.06
so that I could
have a better life.
00:24:20.09\00:24:21.42
Yeah.
00:24:21.46\00:24:22.79
And in fact, he'd
never went to watch a movie
00:24:22.82\00:24:25.26
or do some fun activity
00:24:25.29\00:24:26.83
'cause he's always working.
00:24:26.86\00:24:28.20
Wow.
00:24:28.23\00:24:29.56
Yeah, so that's something
that I want to give back
00:24:29.60\00:24:34.44
for the time he had
dedicated, you know.
00:24:34.47\00:24:36.60
So yes, you can see
me working on my laptop
00:24:36.64\00:24:39.94
because I got to keep going,
00:24:39.97\00:24:41.64
you know, as
long as I have energy,
00:24:41.68\00:24:43.14
as long as I'm still
focused on the mission,
00:24:43.18\00:24:48.42
I got to spread it out
00:24:48.45\00:24:49.78
and keep going,
keep working hard.
00:24:49.82\00:24:51.15
Absolutely.
00:24:51.19\00:24:52.52
Work hard but,
you know, stay humble.
00:24:52.55\00:24:53.89
Absolutely, and
it's always interesting
00:24:53.92\00:24:56.39
to hear the story behind
00:24:56.42\00:24:59.19
how a ministry or a
company got started,
00:24:59.23\00:25:03.20
because often times,
00:25:03.23\00:25:04.57
you just see the
finished product.
00:25:04.60\00:25:05.93
You've no idea
where it came from,
00:25:05.97\00:25:07.44
what went into creating
it, what's the story behind it.
00:25:07.47\00:25:12.07
So that's always exciting,
00:25:12.11\00:25:14.04
and I really love the fact
00:25:14.08\00:25:16.21
that you're
allowing God to use you
00:25:16.24\00:25:18.31
and to spread the Gospel
via the shirts, you know,
00:25:18.35\00:25:23.32
it creates so much conversation.
00:25:23.35\00:25:26.49
One thing I didn't add
00:25:26.52\00:25:27.89
or did I add, I
don't know but...
00:25:27.92\00:25:31.39
Just by the shirts alone
like they last very long.
00:25:31.43\00:25:37.07
Mm-hm.
00:25:37.10\00:25:38.43
So a lot of you get to see it
in the conversations' thought.
00:25:38.47\00:25:41.17
Let me see one of
those, you have, yes,
00:25:41.20\00:25:43.81
this is the
shirt that you have on.
00:25:43.84\00:25:46.11
Yeah, if you like this one, too.
00:25:46.14\00:25:48.38
Yeah, that's nice.
00:25:48.41\00:25:50.28
I need to get, I have to
get Tiffany some more shirts.
00:25:50.31\00:25:54.22
Oh, yeah, definitely.
00:25:54.25\00:25:55.58
It feels like a great quality.
00:25:55.62\00:25:57.89
Yeah, I have
choose, you can see here,
00:25:57.92\00:26:01.49
I choose like a softer fabric,
00:26:01.52\00:26:03.83
it's not heavy kind
or anything so that,
00:26:03.86\00:26:06.03
it's just softer, nicer feeling,
00:26:06.06\00:26:07.40
it's something I like to wear.
00:26:07.43\00:26:08.76
Right, so...
00:26:08.80\00:26:10.13
Uh-huh.
00:26:10.17\00:26:11.50
Instead of just
wearing the regular stuff,
00:26:11.53\00:26:13.40
I like the softer
and comfortable shirts,
00:26:13.44\00:26:15.10
those high-quality stuff.
00:26:15.14\00:26:16.47
Now, what about shrinkage?
00:26:16.50\00:26:18.27
Like when you wash
it, does it shrink?
00:26:18.31\00:26:20.18
Or I mean what is the...
00:26:20.21\00:26:21.54
1.89%, does that matter?
00:26:21.58\00:26:23.98
No, not in this case.
00:26:24.01\00:26:27.58
Shrink a little
bit, but not so much.
00:26:27.62\00:26:29.15
Wow, okay.
00:26:29.18\00:26:30.52
Yeah, so it's just,
what I'm doing right now,
00:26:30.55\00:26:33.76
this is the chapter
00:26:33.79\00:26:35.12
that God has let
in my life so far.
00:26:35.16\00:26:36.99
Praise Lord, and you
took some time off work,
00:26:37.03\00:26:40.26
like when you were working,
you took how many months off?
00:26:40.30\00:26:43.33
I took three months off,
00:26:43.37\00:26:47.24
pretty much out of work
in the last three months
00:26:47.27\00:26:49.84
to research and
redefine the company,
00:26:49.87\00:26:53.11
redefine the business.
00:26:53.14\00:26:54.58
And it paid off,
meaning not money wise,
00:26:54.61\00:27:01.02
it paid off in terms of
how I conduct the business,
00:27:01.05\00:27:03.79
things are better quality,
00:27:03.82\00:27:05.15
things are, the
philosophy is different.
00:27:05.19\00:27:07.52
Mm-hm. And that's
been really awesome.
00:27:07.56\00:27:09.69
Sometimes you got to
do that with any industry.
00:27:09.72\00:27:11.79
Absolutely.
00:27:11.83\00:27:13.16
so what did people say like
00:27:13.19\00:27:14.53
when you were taking
off three to four months?
00:27:14.56\00:27:17.03
They're like, "You are crazy,
00:27:17.07\00:27:18.40
you're like, you know,
how you're gonna get work?
00:27:18.43\00:27:19.77
Are you paying the bills?"
00:27:19.80\00:27:21.27
Or like, you know,
and stuff like that.
00:27:21.30\00:27:25.01
Yeah, sometimes, I was like,
00:27:25.04\00:27:27.18
"Wow, I should
really get back to work."
00:27:27.21\00:27:29.81
But sometime
research and development
00:27:29.84\00:27:32.55
in any business,
00:27:32.58\00:27:33.92
you got to step
back and check out
00:27:33.95\00:27:37.19
and how to make
it more efficient,
00:27:37.22\00:27:38.72
I learned so
much about my industry
00:27:38.75\00:27:40.09
that I didn't know before.
00:27:40.12\00:27:41.46
Yeah.
00:27:41.49\00:27:42.82
'Cause I was just over busy
00:27:42.86\00:27:44.19
and couldn't
have time to dedicate.
00:27:44.23\00:27:45.56
So that's why I
shut of everything.
00:27:45.59\00:27:46.93
Absolutely, I can
definitely understand that.
00:27:46.96\00:27:48.30

much for being with us,
00:27:48.33\00:27:50.77
