Honestly man, I’m up until 2am some nights making batches or cutting soap
To see 70% of my inventory sell out in the first day makes it worth it
So much gratitude for each of you
2 years ago I tried tallow soap for the first time... changed my life
Except they never answered my emails after this order
So I learned to make it myself... then for others...
100% grass-fed, grass-finished, 145g bars -
Did you know mega-companies like DOVE, AVEENO, and OLAY won't put the word "soap" on their labels?
That's because it's not soap... it's toxic garbage that pulls in billions of dollars for their parent companies (P&G/Johnson & Johnson)
👇
100% grass-fed & finished beef tallow soap (cold pressed)
I received countless DM’s asking if I had any bars available so I made a few extra batches

This section of my basement used to be a meth lab (not kidding) — but I’m the NEW alchemist — and instead of drugs, it’ll be for soap making 🧼
I’ll be renovating this once-also-brothel into a small production kitchen over the next week or so
Documenting this process live:
Irish Springs selling point:
"A sudsy lather that washes away bacteria and can be used as a hand soap"
Suds can be naturally produced with an exfoliating bag, NOT with Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS)
Hand soap is NOT body soap, your skin composition is completely different
Used to work at a bank back in the day
Could search up anyone by their name or phone number
Started searching celebs that were likely to have an acc with that bank like Justin Bieber, Ryan Gosling, Wayne Gretzky, etc
HR called one afternoon and suspended me for 3 days lol
Few interesting “artifacts” we removed out of the “lab” yesterday…
- Indestructible bath tub
- Some street lights?
- Table saw from 1953
- Air ionizer & water purifier

Packed with vitamin A, D, K, E, and B12, as well as omega 3 and 6 fatty acids 🌞
Big box could never dream of having that on their labels
Smellin’ like the sweet nectar of grapefruit, too
When I was 18, my mom was in a dark place
Wanted it to end it all... told her if she’s gonna give up, I am too
Shook her head at me and said “you don’t know how to give up”
I think about this often
[PERSPECTIVE]
Imagine you were born in 1900.
When you're 14, World War I begins and ends when you're 18 with 22 million dead.
Soon after a global pandemic, the Spanish Flu, appears, killing 50 million people. And you're alive and 20 years old.
Added a fantastic new scent-pairing to the lineup and completely forgot to list it
Cedarwood + Orange 🌲🍊
That original wooded scent with a hint of citrus, easily my new fav

Follow a lot of big dogs on here pushing crazy numbers (especially this weekend)
Sometimes you get caught up in it and hold yourself to the same standard, missing your own small wins
2 months ago I shipped out my brands 1st order, this weekend I shipped out its 100th

The purity in this
Fuckin’ love it
Met this rich cat at F1 a couple weeks ago bc I was wearing an Aston Martin shirt and he owns 3 of them
Having a drink said “mind if I hang around for bit?”
These dudes just wanna chat and not be milked for their riches
This corner of twitter makes you realize how cookie cutter majority of people’s lives are
Same IG stories, same posts, same celebrations, looking for the same status, etc — they’re like zombies
Makes it hard to fit in, or even tolerate convos with them
In 2014 I had the 4th largest eSports tournament platform (online)
1st - MLG (Major League Gaming) // Worth $45M
2nd - UMG Gaming // $3M
3rd - MainStageGames // Sold to UMG for $500k
4th - Me... an 18 year old kid
Industry valuation at the time: $190M
Then I got scammed...
@GraduatedBen
I worked in bed management/patient flow for 2 of the largest hospitals within the country for 3 years pre-pandemic
The larger operated over 100% capacity everyday (3 days in 3 years it hit 98% and 99%)
The other (mostly for training) never dropped below 96%
Again, PRE-PANDEMIC

Could blow up on TikTok with this
Throw together 5 quick clips of throwing on products and why they're so bad/what they do
5 vids
1 bound to go viral
Sell outta product (redirect them to your stuff)
Rinse and repeat

Box of borax — $20
Years of useless other medications to treat arthritis — $2000+
That’s enough to know why big pharma does what they do
It’s about $$ and power, simply
At 21 years old, I filed for bankruptcy
7 years later and I had countless more:
- Failures
- Lessons
- Triumphs
But I lived to tell the tale...
Then I built a brand pulling $10k+ per month (and got hit with a lawsuit)
This is what I learned:
(MEGA THREAD) 😂
DOVE is valued at more than $7 billion (according to their parent company — Unilever)
Their body soaps are listed as a BEST SELLER, with “just” 17 ingredients
I scored them a -2 (poor)
Let's see why 🤔
@Saint_Dici
Feel like that forced hangover downtime is what creates that insatiable desire to get back at it
We can’t fully “relax” just being sober… mind goes “stop being lazy, someone’s out working you, you’re a failure, etc etc”
The rollercoaster of business success — from nothing, to everything:
- Work 9 to 5
- Bored, so you save $5-10k to build a brand
- People support because they’re always rooting for the underdog (and you have good product)
- In 3 years you experience unfathomable success
(cont)
Most days I feel like society inches forward in improvement
Then I see something like this that humbly reminds me how far we have yet to go
lol this world is so [intentionally] upside-down
Daily routine as follows...
- Wake up to package orders
- Find time to workout
- Go to work
- Go home at lunch to pack more orders
- Answer emails and socials during work
- Go home at 11pm to talk to suppliers until 2-3am
- Repeat
- 80/20 eating healthy during this too
@Nickmarsh99
Tallow’s gold when melted, but the only time I’ve had this happen in a jar is when it wasn’t sealed tight enough and even THEN, wasn’t melted even half of what this is
Definitely not good
*Have rendered almost 1000lbs of tallow lol

Cut soap this morning
Run email support
Head to reg job for 9hrs
Come home at lunch to get the wife wrapping/packing soaps
Leave reg job to pack orders until 2am
Turn crock pot on to render tallow
Back to butchers at 10am tomorrow
I was MADE for this grind
1:47am — just finished another batch of soap and cut 120 bars
Got off work at 11pm and dove right into it
Protein shake then bed — to wake up and edit product photos
Love every minute of it
Exfoliating bags added to the lineup 🧼
I completely under-valued these..
More suds, easier to lather, and get to use the soap bar right down to its last drop
I was -$12,000 on paper for last year and then the sun started to shine
Also filed for bankruptcy at 21
Life is a beautiful game, enjoy the process, and dedicate your heart and soul to this shit because if you don't, you're better off in the 9-5
Been doing $2-3k/days consistently for the last 2 weeks, still fulfilling out of China with YUN (supposedly faster than USPS right now)
Order in bulk to a US 3PL before scaling any heavier?

@tahmmygiovanni
My ads right now are 4x-6x ROAS and to be truthful I don't really have any idea what I'm doing
I'm aware of the audiences that are likely to convert based off of last years tests, but I'm still only spending $100-$150/day
CBO > winning audiences > 3-5 creatives

@kobegatsby
Idk how you guys do it.. feel my weakest upon waking, often get light-headed lifting weights and feel lethargic if any intensity
I filed for bankruptcy when I was 21 (now 28)
Tomorrow, I'm gonna post a mega-thread about how I got there and the important life lessons I learned
That was therapeutic to write
Sometimes the pressure of building a brand weighs on me
Manufacturers lying, constant delays, thick-headed consumers, planning, ads, etc
Then I think of the people on here, and that’s enough to pull me out
This reason alone makes me grateful for this corner
