Transcript

Welcome back to this week's episode of Unlocked. It's absolutely insane to think about how many episodes we've done of this podcast. But today, we have on a good friend, Britt Jones. Welcome. Hi, Savannah. Thanks for having me. I'm so excited. So Britt and I met actually through Grayson because her husband was Grayson's baseball coach. Right. Yep. So how long have y'all known Grayson? For, like, six years. Like, I cannot believe he's in college. That's crazy. Yeah. Like, he would come over and then James would drive him home because he couldn't even drive. Yes. Oh my gosh. So yeah. He would like and Grayson's always been, like, an old soul. Like, always. And so, like, he would just wanna hang out with James, talk, and even now, like, when he went off to college, he was like, alright. Well, James is gonna come over for dinner and I know. They talk crazy. Yeah. It's like he's his mentor. Yeah. He's his buddy, and I love that. Well, I'm grateful for it because before Grayson went to college, James was like, What? Yeah. He gave him the rundown. He did of, like, like, real dad mode of life. Stuff like he does during the week. He's like, you better be or you better be go to your parents or, like, anything. You better watch what you're doing down there. Yeah. And I love that. But, also, before we go any further so I have Britt on because, first off, I love her story. I love what she does, but you guys know too, I love women owned businesses. And Britt decided last year. Right? Was it last year? It was last year. Yeah. That she was gonna start her own business, and I've actually worn this hat on the podcast before. Yeah. And they're absolutely amazing. I you know me, you know, I love a good hat, but I also love the meaning behind them. So you wanna kinda go into that? Yeah. I'll go into it. So, I launched this brand in May of twenty twenty four, and God told me so many times to do this brand. It would I would be at church, and I would just hear him tell me. I remember I was looking at, like, a cardiology job, and I remember seeing, like, a sea in the clouds, and I was like, oh, that's great. That's God's sign to me. And I didn't realize that that was gonna be my logo, like, two years later. Wow. So it's just crazy how God told me to do it, and, just personal testimonies. I was like, I'm gonna launch this brand called Cover. Like, everyone's going through stuff. I wanna launch this brand and, make everyone know that they're covered by God. Like, whatever you could be going through. So I trademarked the testimony tracker. It just got approved yesterday, so I could do, like, a whole arc in the circles. So That's amazing. Yeah. So I'm super excited about that. And then in the fall, I'm launching a t shirt hoodie and crewneck. So I just approved the designs yesterday for that. No way. Oh my gosh. I'm excited for that. Yes. So covered. Can you kinda because I know you and I talked about it when you guys came over that night. Just, like, your story with it and why it means so much to you. Yeah. So my little boy was in occupational therapy, and he is now four and a half. He'll be five in May. But at the time, he was three, and, he he just wouldn't, you know, like, touch things, feel things, like eat a donut, a cupcake. At birthday parties, he'd be by himself. Wouldn't really wanna go around people. And so I remember we were in therapy for a long time, and the it was 08:00 that morning and I asked the therapist, I was like, you know, do you think Ryker has autism? And she's like, I don't think so, but if he did, you would just come right back here to therapy. And that night, we went to a good friend's house, and she's like an angel to me, and she's like so in tune with God, and she prays over us all the time in our family and she's like, Hey, before you and James leave here, I wanna pray for you guys. And I was like, Oh my gosh. I was like, What do you wanna pray about? And that's when she said, the spirit of autism is trying to enter in your son's life and I wanna pray about that spirit. And I was like, Oh my goodness, that's crazy. I just asked this therapist this morning about it. And so she prayed over him, or she prayed over us. We prayed over him when we got home. And I'll never forget, two weeks later he completely changed and he was doing all the things that he didn't use to do. And I'm like, you know what, like, God works, you know, in ways and Wow. See, I still like, that's what I'm hearing, and I still get chills. Yeah. So I just feel like, you know, I was like and that's when God kept telling me. He's, like, covered, and I just kept hearing it. And I'm like, okay. I have to do something, whatever God's telling me to do. And, yeah, I just love telling people, like, hey. Everyone goes through stuff. You know? And what would you say has been, like, one of your most impactful moments since starting the brand? Well, I love going to pop ups and meeting other people. And so I'll go to a pop up and someone's like, you're the covered girl or, like, wanting a hat or they share a story with me or, you know, I met, like, a lady and she's going through a divorce. It was like a divorce group at this pop up I was doing. And I was like, oh my gosh, girls, you guys are all covered, you know. It's fun. And they were just telling me their stories, and they're like, it's really refreshing, like, knowing we are covered by God. So it's meeting people, hearing their testimonies, their stories, and like, just knowing why I started it. But I was at the factory in Franklin yesterday, and I saw a girl wearing my hat, and I went up to her and I was like, you don't know me, but that's my brand that you're wearing. And Stop. It was like a wink from God, like, keep going. Because it's getting there. It get yeah. And it gets hard. You know? What would you say is the biggest has been the biggest hurdle? I think just finding my place, right, and getting my brand out there. You know, it's not easy. And every day, you have to wake up, like, God gave me the vision to do this. I'm gonna do it every day. So, you know, I've been wholesaling. I'm thinking about going to the markets in Atlanta and Dallas and having a showroom to get my brand out there. But it's just every day you have to be intentional with your brand, and it's not easy. And would you because I know, like, you and I it was something because a lot of people don't really realize how influencing works or things of that nature. Mhmm. But you and I kinda talked about how when you started it, like, for a small business, it means a lot to have someone post about you Yeah. Or tag you in a post or just wear your product or something. Has that been a challenge for you, like, while starting this? Yeah. Definitely. I'll have people reach out that they want my hat and I'll send a bunch and then I write a really sweet note, like, would you tag me or tag my brand? And then it's like they don't and I see them wear you know, so that's it's hard. That's tough. And I give away a lot because I want people to share and share the story, but, you know, I also am paying for it and paying for shipping and, you know, just Yeah. So it'd be nice. But, yeah, it's not easy to ask people to promote your stuff. And as a small business, I don't have a lot of money to give someone to post for me. No. And that's the thing is it's like, obviously, there are companies that pay me to post. There's people that do whatever. But then there's just things that come across, like, that just come across that you're like, no. I just want to do this. I wanna do this for a friend or because I believe in it or just to be a good person. Yeah. And it just baffles me every time that, like, people it's just crazy. It's crazy. But it gives me motivation to keep going because I'm like, one day, I'm gonna have a storefront, you know, in Nashville. And one day, I'm gonna be like, remember when? You know? Yeah. You know, so I'm so grateful. Like, did you say is, like, the coolest person that has purchased your products or you've seen wear it? Yeah. I feel like there's a lot of cool people like you, of course, Vivi. Gracie, Shay. Like, of course. But someone that really embodies Covered and that like is a living walking testament is Elizabeth Hasselbeck, and I was like, oh my gosh, she went on my website and bought hats, and I was like, James, I just got orders from Elizabeth Hasselbeck and she was shipping them to other people, like, around Christmas time. But that's just it was really cool, you know, because she loves Jesus, and she talk she's open about her faith. And how would you, I think, too, for people listening that may not be there yet with their faith? Like, has your faith always been where it's at now? No. And I feel like I have always gone to church, and, you know, that's just something I did and working, late nights at the bar at bartend, and I would get up in the morning and, go right to church, and I would get, like, four hours of sleep. But, you know, it's different when you, like, know God and you know God. You know? So you can know, like, I'm a woman, but, like, do you know? You know what I mean? Like, you're, like, I'm a woman. So it's just different. Like, you have to know God and, like, be intentional with him every day. I've had to be, like, really quiet, silent in prayer. So it's just different now, like, knowing him and his, like, timing is perfect always. I think being a mom myself with that too, like, I'm always praying over my kids and they're my gift from him, but they're ultimately his child. And I just thank God every night. I'm like, thank you for letting me be, like, their Earth mom, like, because they're really your child. Yeah. And I'm just getting a blessing. So, yeah, I think that it's definitely different than when I was just like, okay, I go to church on Sundays, but like, no, you and you have to have a community of friends. Like Mhmm. If you call me, like, ready to pray for you, I'd totally do that. Yeah. And that's I think that's the hard part too, especially for younger adults trying to find that group of friends that to where it is cool to go to church. It is cool to do these things. I think it's really hard in today's day and age to find that. Yeah. And I my, babysitter slash nanny, she lives right behind us and I'm like, God put me in our neighborhood to meet her. Like, it's crazy. I didn't even wanna live in that lot or that house. And he's and it's like, no. He did it because she walks to my backyard, but she's 14. And she is amazing. Her name's Kathleen. And Stop. That's hilarious. She thinks I'm so cool. And so she she told me she came to babysit, like, two weeks ago, and she's like, Britt, one of my friend's moms said, well, what do you guys wanna be when you guys grow up? And she said, well, I think I wanna get my degree in marketing, and I I just love Britt. And so she's like, so you wanna be Britt when you grow up? And it was funny because Stop. Kathleen, you know, it's just I love inspiring younger girls to be like, hey. It's okay to not be included. It's okay to be different. I was bullied. I remember being there. I remember not having a lot of friends and, you know, just sharing with someone younger, but I just love her so much. Well, that is the thing too. It's like you don't just have this brand. You also have a full time job. Yeah. I have a full time job in plastic surgery sales. So I'm in the OR. I do everything from breast reconstructive patients that have breast cancer, breast implants, cellulite, anything with med spas, filler, threads, and then yeah. It's crazy. That's insane. And the kids. And two children that are how old are they? Two and four. That is crazy. So it just So two kids, two and four, and you also have two other full time jobs, basically. Yeah. It's a lot. I mean, I definitely work all day long, and then I'm with the kids. Like, I'm very intentional with them. And then at night, I'll work on Covered or go through my emails at that point and figure out, like, what I'm doing with Covered or following up with my employees. Let's face it.

I do are there ever times where you feel like as much as you try, you're still not getting exactly what you need out of life? Yeah. And that's hard for me because but it's taking ownership and saying, like, hey, I need some help. Like, Kathleen, for example. Like, God knew I needed her. You know, she's right in my backyard. Ordering factor meals, like, that's our dinner. You know, it's like I have to I can't cook and that's within the stage of life I'm in right now. I'm not able to do that. So I do have to get help or whatever that is, but sometimes I don't get to the gym. And I'm like, shoot. I didn't get to the gym today, but I think about other wins that I did do that day. So it's definitely on and off. Some weeks are great. In some weeks, I'm like, woah. This is a lot. Well yeah. And too, it's it's also tough whenever I think part is it's tough living in the South when you have a lot of women who are like, oh, but you didn't cook dinner or you didn't do this or you you know? Like Yeah. But then you're also like, hey. I'm a full time working mom. Right. Like, you're also helping to provide for your family. Right. You're you know, I think that's where we live in, like, a very judgmental society, in my opinion, when it comes to that kind of stuff. Yeah. And I'm working all the time, and sometimes I get left out of stuff, you know, and that's just part of it, I guess. But I'm, like, I'm providing my kids a great life. I'm working for them. I want Arbelle to be, like, my mom, you know? Is a superhero. Yes. Literally. Today, I told Ryker, I was on the way to school, he's like, mom, can you get me today? And I was like, I can't today. I'm doing something that covered. He said, mom, are you gonna get your makeup done today? It was so funny. And I'm like, he's knowing what Covered, like, about it or the hats. And he doesn't understand right now, but I'm like, I wanna build something for them. Like, my mom did that. So did your mom was your mom, like, a working mom? Yeah. My mom's always worked. She still works. Okay. So she has a full time job, and they live down the street from us, and we see them when we can. And we definitely see them every Sunday at church. But, yeah, I just feel like I grew up, I lived in a trailer, and, my husband did too. And so we just remember that life and not wanting to go back to that. And, James' story is his dad drove trucks for, like dump trucks. And every Friday night, his dad would go get, clothes from the Walmart dumpster they had dumped in, and that's where James got his clothes. And so it's crazy, now James is so fashionable. He is, he's like such a cool dad. He is such a cool dad. And I'm like, oh my gosh, your shoes are pink and your hoodie's blue, and like, he just, it's just so cool, but I just am, like, I never, like, and want my kids to do without. I want them to have the best life ever. And, you know, it's hard when you grow up and you don't have money. And, you know, so I'm like, no. We're gonna work. I'll have three jobs before anything else. So You really are like this that's you and I are very similar in that working. Of just like, you know what a life is is with, you know what a life is without, and you're just like, I refuse to go back to a certain place. Right. And that's and too, it's like I say, with Khloe, like, I want her to look at me and be like, well, if my sister did it and did all of these things, I can do it too. Like, I don't want her to ever think that just because you're a woman, you can't do, like, x, y, and z. Right. And that is so you and James, how long have y'all been together? It'll be five years in May. No? So married or together? Married. Married. So we've been together six years. So we married in May. Okay. But, I was thirty eight weeks pregnant when we got married with Ryker. No. What? Yeah. I went and got checked that morning, went and got my makeup done, and then our wedding, yeah, was that night. So crazy. Oh my I have no idea. Yeah. So, it's crazy. Ryker's gonna be five, and our five year anniversary is coming up. Oh my. That's amazing. I know. And it's crazy. I was on Broadway for five or six years bartending k. And I met him down there. So I was like, great. You know? But You like you said, you were gonna do whatever you had to do to make sure that you didn't go back to a place you didn't wanna be. I bought a townhouse, and I was like, how am I gonna put furniture in here? And I was like, you know what? I'm gonna go back to Broadway. And then Well, what people don't realize is, like, bartenders on Broadway We we made a lot of money. Yeah. Yeah. A lot of money. Yeah. Like, it's it's more than most nine to five jobs. Yeah. I opened Jason Aldean's bar. And so I just didn't know that. Yeah. I did. I left, the Valentine. I worked at started Tootsies, went to the stage, the Valentine, and then I ended at Jason's. That's where I retired. Stop it. Oh my god. The Valentine was the one place I would go to back in the day. Yeah. Back in the day. I know. Someone, like, posted a comment on my Instagram the other day and was like, does no one wanna talk about how this girl would go into, it was like a DJ here in town that if I said his name, you would know. And he was like, is no one gonna talk about how she went into these clubs underage? I'm like, first off, Nashville doesn't have clubs. Yeah. Second off You can also come in. You can come in at 18. Yeah. But What? Don't those people go into places underage? Like, let's be real. Those college kids. But I was like, I cannot once again, just Yeah. Just, yeah, it's great. I mean, honestly, and you can make a you can make a great living down on Broadway. That is yeah. I had friends, and I was like, you make what? Oh, yeah. And I'd be like, yeah. And it's cash. 1,200 a night cash. She'd go home. You'd work a couple days a week. Like, some of my good friends are still down there, and they only work Fridays and Saturdays, and their moms during the week. And I'm like, that's amazing. Yeah. Like Well, because you do what you have to do to provide for your kids. Like and that's why, for me, I'm like, don't it's so easy and I I mean, I've fallen short to this, but, like, it's so easy to judge someone when you just look. But when you actually hear people's stories and you realize, like, they may not be doing this because they love it or because they want to work till 4AM. Right. They're doing it because they have people who are relying on them. Mhmm. And so you did Broadway, the whole Broadway thing. The whole Broadway thing. Yeah. And that's how y'all met. Yeah. We met on Broadway, and then James doesn't remember meeting me. So then he messaged me on Instagram, and it was like back in old school days where you could see when someone liked another person's stuff on your face. And he saw a friend he liked my picture, he clicked on me and messaged me. I was like, oh, I already met you. But he James was playing baseball. He didn't live here. And I was like, oh, I'm not gonna date baseball players. Like, there's just no way. And then we, I don't know, got on the phone, and we were talking till like four or five in the morning. It was crazy. And I was like, I'm in love with this guy that I've never physically, like, touched, or like met. And anyways, then yeah. Because our story is so similar. I remember us talking about this. Yes. Yes. It's like an emotional connection. It is. Like, you just it's there, and it's the wildest thing. Yeah. No one knows it until they've done it. Yes. And then we did long distance, and I loved it. And then, he decided to, like, hang up the baseball thing and start his own baseball academy. I was like, what are you gonna start? And I'm like, my husband owns Redbirds Baseball Club. Yes. Literally. You're like, and like making merch and doing all the things. All the great things. So and he's leading people to God, which I love. He has his Zoom Bible study every Monday night with his baseball players. Wow. And it's just fun, you know, he's had one of his players come to know Jesus and dedicated his life and got baptized. And I'm like, you did that James, like you put in the time, and it's at 08:00, like once our kids go to bed, that's when he starts his Zoom. Because I'm like, you can't take time away from our family. And so he'll walk down the steps, you know, at 09:00. I'm like, how did it go? And, you know, but it's also the kids are on Zoom, but are the parents hearing too? You know, in the kitchen. So he's touching a lot of people. And has y'all's marriage always been this way? No. I wouldn't say, like, perfect. You know, we did long distance, and then I was we had a baby as soon as we got married. Yeah. So So that was really hard. It was during COVID. And, you know, we had never lived together. So Dear God. That sounds like a I'm like, oh my gosh. We're living together. I have a we have a baby, like, all the things. So, no. But now we're, like, figuring it out, and, like, I think therapy is so healthy. Yes. Yes. We've talked about this before. Yes. It's awesome to go to therapy. I feel like it's just a way to keep in touch with each other, learning things, like, hey, put your phone down when you get in bed or setting expectations. We've set boundaries with people. So I think that we have grown so much than we were two young kids. This episode of Unlocked is brought to you by Progressive Insurance.

Have you guys been on that same journey together when it comes to like your relationship with God? Yes. So I James is tatted up from his neck to his, you know, that wrist. And so he has tattoos everywhere, and I was like, oh my gosh, this guy's got tattoos. But it's crazy. Every tattoo is religious. It's about God. And I'm like, how do I meet somebody? And, like, all of his body is covered and everything is about God. And so I was like, wow. But anyways, he, we only listen to Christian music. We do listen to country or whatever, but we, like today, we woke up and he was listening to Christian music in the kitchen with the kids making breakfast. So we start our day, he like starts reading his Bible every day at the island. Like he's just a great example of that for the kids, but, yeah, I just feel like we connected. I was like, oh, I listen to Christian music too, and then like ninety four Po and the Fish. It was just cool to connect to like that. And I'm like, okay. This guy is like, he's on a deeper level. He loves golf. That. And, Helen, what's y'all's age difference? I'm turning 33 next week, and then he's 36. So three years apart. Yeah. Three years apart. Yeah. But, I mean, you're basically the same age because he's a guy. Yeah. Yeah. He's yeah. That is awesome. Your story is, like, insane. Yeah. We met, and I find didn't know you were, like, giving birth when you got married, basically. It was crazy. That is crazy. I knew. And Riker's just so sweet. We love him and Arabelle. Oh, Grayson. Grayson loves Riker. Loves Riker. Well, Grayson came to his second birthday. Yes. And then it was so cute. They fell asleep in the back seat of the car. I have a picture on my phone. I'm like, they were worn out. Like, we went to animal farm, and then when I would be working out of town with my job, your mom would come over and rock Riker to sleep for James. Aw. We'd pick up Grayson. I'm like, oh my gosh. Julie's rocking Riker. So just like that. Been just like a baby per like, she's just an angel on earth. I know. An angel. I love her. It's so like, I love hearing stories from people who, like, she has touched and done stuff for, and, like, I had no idea. And people would be like, your mom was there for me during this or that. Or and I'm like, well They're the That's my mom. Best. And they just took us in, like, open arms and, like, your dad and just everyone. Like, I love your entire family. I can't wait. I say that, like, we don't have tons of friends, but, like No. The friends we do have, it's like you're more than a friend. Like, you're welcome at my house at any time. You're there is no, like Yeah. It's all or nothing. Right. Yeah. I feel like we definitely know who our genuine friends are. It's hard because you're like, do they like me because I'm what I'm doing? Mhmm. Or they really wanna be my friend? Yeah. You know? Like, life's hard. I need, like, a couple of friends. Yes. 100%. So what would you say is, like, the toughest thing about, I guess, for you, like, being a mom and working? Like, how do you deal with that? Because I even deal with it with, like, Chloe of feeling that guilt of, like, well, I missed out on this or I couldn't show up for this because I had to work or, like, that's a real thing that I think a lot of people struggle with. With. Yeah. I mean, I feel guilty when I can't get them from school, like, today. You know what I mean? And he's like, mom, are you you know, you're gonna pick me up. And I'm like, I can't today, but mom's doing this. And so I just have to remember, like, I'm there for sports or, you know, I made it a point to be at his jiu jitsu last night or show up or but he also knows, like, mom has to work and Arbel knows, like, she's young, but I also know that, like, when I am gone, they're with people that really love them. Mhmm. Like my parents, like Kathleen, they they love them. So same for you. You have people that are pouring into them. Yeah. And they don't really know about time or, you know, but the experience in working, going to the beach or doing whatever, it's like I we had to work for all of that. I yeah. See, and that's I think it's so important to set that example. It's just so hard. It's so hard to not feel, like, guilt for just like, well, I missed out on this or that, or it's a tough balance to have. Yeah. It's if we go to dinner at 07:30 at night, I'm like, shoot. I can't get him to bed, but I'm like, me and James have to pour into our marriage. Like Well, that's also something that's hard. It's like Yeah. You're working a normal job during the day. You're building a brand. You're Yeah. You know, like so how do you make that time? So that's Like, are you intentional about it, or is that where you're at now, is trying to figure out? Yeah. So now we're at the point where and, like, we talk about this with her therapist and it's awesome. And she's like, okay. So, you know, being in touch with each other, like, how was your day? What do you need from me today? We always talk about our day before, or like Sundays, we talk about our entire week. What day are we gonna go on a date night this week? So it's Saturday. He has our sitter's number, like he can arrange that. What three places, here's three places, which one do you pick? Or what do you think is good, I'll chew? Whatever. But it's, we have to be intentional because it's so hard just to be like, okay, the kids and working, and now we're home, and then the bedtime, they're like, okay. I'm worn out. So it's That's it's hard. And, like, that's where Robert and I too, like, struggle is just Finding time. Finding time in the midst of, like, the Brady Bunch of kids, You know? Like, five kids and all this, like, there's it's a lot. And then you start it's so hard to not get defeated at times because you're like, I feel like I'm doing everything. Mhmm. Like, I feel like I'm doing everything, but then I'm still, you know, not feeling this or that or it's so like, life is so much more complicated than people make it seem. Right. It's not like Instagram real perfect family, like, going on, you know. And it's hard because we're working moms and but I'm like, I wanna provide them an awesome life and leave a legacy with Covered. And I always know, like, I wanna be kind to everyone I meet and, you know, at the end of the day, if I leave here and something happened to me, I want someone to be like, wow. She was so nice. Not like, oh, I remember how much money she made. You know what I mean? It's just That doesn't matter. How you touch people. Like and that's what I've too realized even more with mom and dad being gone. Like I said, is all the people that are like, oh my gosh. I'll have people come after me and they'll be like, you have no idea how your mom did this or that or your dad talked to me through this or, like, that's what matters. Right. That's what matters. And that's what I try to I try to teach Chloe, but it's just wait till you get to a preteen girl. I'm scared. Arabelle's already she's already something. Yeah. She's terrible. I don't wish it on any of my on any of my You're like, can I get some advice here? Yeah. I'm like I swear. I, like, walk on eggshells. I'm like, alright. Are we good? Yeah. Yeah. It's crazy. Yeah. So you said you have your hoodies, t shirts, t shirts? Shirt and a crew neck. Okay. That'll be launching, like, in the fall. K. So I'm super excited for that. I cannot wait for that. I know. And your hats. So Yes. Do you have all these hats on the website? Yeah. All of them are on the website. And there's some back there that are fun colors. Those are awesome. Yes. So you have these what are what's the website? Covered by britjones.com. Okay. And two, once it launches once this podcast goes out, I'll put it, like, a link for everyone to be able to find it. And how much were the hats? 48. Okay. I have a kids' collection also that's not here, and the kids' collection is 36 for the kids' hats. They have, like, Jesus is my bro covered, tiny disciple. So I have a whole kid's collection on there, and I have candles covered in his light. I need to get those kids hats. Oh my gosh. And then the adult hats. So That's awesome. And I think too just being able to it's such a conversation starter. Yeah. Because people know what your shirt says if it says a sentence, but I've had so many people DM me and they're like, hey. I was at Green Hills Mall and someone asked me what covered was and I shared and she's like, I had a man stop and pray with me once I told him what might happen. I'm like, oh my gosh. So it's a conversational starter because people think that they know, you know, if they know or they're like, oh, tell me about it. So it's just fun to hear. It's a conversational piece. Well, and it it for me, when I look at it, it really is, it, like, gets you back in check whenever you see it because it's so easy to, like, put your faith on the, like, burner, back burner, and but then when you see it, you you remind yourself, like, alright. Yeah. Life may be hard. It may suck at times, but, like, I'm still alive. Mhmm. I'm still here. I still have a roof over my head. Like, I am covered in every situation that I'm in. So I think it's a good reminder just to even see. Yeah. No. It definitely is. And it just is a reminder to me, like, I'm I need to walk and live and breathe. Like, I have this brand that I want everyone to know in the whole world about. And so, yeah, they will. It's going to happen. Yeah. It will happen. And God's timing. It's gonna happen. We need to figure out, like, to get you on, like, TikTok shop and Yeah. I have a TikTok shop. Oh, you do? Yeah. But my Instagram shop is not, like, linking to right now. I don't know why. But, yeah, I have the TikTok shop. Because if you got, got, like, people who because, you know, I'm still learning this whole thing. Me too. But how you, like, go how someone promotes something and then they get, like, a percentage of sales, like, doing that, I feel like it would be Yeah. Insane. It's on there. So Yeah. It's just the algorithm is hard. You know, you gotta be posting all the time and It's it's tough. It's tough. But But people are gonna be able to find it. Yes. Thank you. I'll post the website, and I honestly just think you were an insane individual. Oh my gosh. I love you too. And watching you. I wanna be Brit when I grow up. Okay? Like, that's why I like you you do. You give me hope, and I love brands that just do good and have a purpose, and it's not just about money. As you said, James was like, Yeah. I'm like, oh, profit and loss statements, real lossings. It's just that's like the first year few years of starting a new business is, like, trial and error. I don't know. Getting it out there and then getting the in the hang of it, and so it's gonna work.
