  You think of a real or a social media post like a seed out there
• 0:06
  all by itself, doing its job, linked to SEO, hashtags and
• 0:11
  keywords in your post. And.
• 0:14
  Depending on what kind of audience you have, seeing the
• 0:19
  growth, seeing each individual post act like a way to get a
• 0:29
  client, get the word out about you.
• 0:33
  So if you're a small business out there, that's what I do and
• 0:38
  I love doing it and I'm good at it.
• 0:42
  You want to think of those personalities under your roof.
• 0:47
  The funny guy in the kitchen nobody sees in your restaurant.
• 0:50
  Film him. Show the people who's cooking
• 0:54
  their food. You'll get more people.
• 0:57
  That's the tip for today. Go hiking.
• 1:33
  The views and opinions. Expressed on the morning wood
• 1:35
  show are strictly those of a crazy.
• 1:37
  Lady in a tree. And most definitely not the
• 1:40
  views of military broadcast radio.
• 1:42
  You've been warned. Proceed with caution.
• 1:45
  We are not liable if you laugh so hard you fall out of your
• 1:48
  chair. So grab your spoon.
• 1:50
  Smack that rooster. And let's get this day started
• 1:52
  right. Let's get ready for the morning
• 1:55

  Welcome are those of the speakers and do not necessarily

  reflect the views or positions of any entities they represent.
• 2:34
  The web at MB radio dot. Good morning, good people.
• 2:43
  You've tuned in live to the Morning Witch show here on MB

• 3:00
  It's time to rise and sizzle. We've got a stack show for you
• 3:09
  today at the top of the hour. We're talking all things custom
• 3:13
  and embroidered with special guest.
• 3:15
  You don't want to miss this. Chris Forbes from Sensation
• 3:18
  Design will be in the building. And then later we're going to do
• 3:22
  some fun stuff with Vicki and HD, but they're going to be, you
• 3:25
  know, our, our, our favorite chirp chirps.
• 3:28
  I'm back here. I'm lurking.
• 3:29
  Don't worry people. And let's give it up for H are
• 3:33
  why? Are we giving it up for H for?
• 3:36
  We're giving it up to you because you know you are a lean,
• 3:39
  mean show machine and you are the heart behind this
• 3:42
  organization. And I think you need a Super
• 3:45
  Friday. Whoop.
• 3:46
  How many shows were you on today or this week?
• 3:51
  Hey, you already got the job. You don't have to kiss ass
• 3:53
  already, you know. Hey, I, I tell you what, we, we
• 4:00
  did something that no other Internet radio station has done
• 4:06
  here in Colorado, at least best of my knowledge, and that is we
• 4:11
  went on double remote. We went on a remote off grid.
• 4:16
  So with that being said, the reason why I bring that up, if
• 4:20
  you are a nonprofit or you're a business and you would like us
• 4:24
  to come and broadcast from your location, give us a call message
• 4:31
  Holly the morning show. We can totally do that, you
• 4:35
  know. Our numbers right there.
• 4:38
  Yep. Yeah, you can.
• 4:39
  Emails right there. Hit us up.
• 4:42
  Let us know if you want us there.
• 4:44
  Reach out and you know when we have these guests, this is a
• 4:46
  time for you guys to either interact with us on YouTube, on
• 4:51
  YouTube at MB radio dot US on Facebook.
• 4:55
  You could do MB radio talk talk and then the morning wood show
• 5:00
  on Facebook. You put your little question in
• 5:03
  that chat, you know, and we have a really cool guest coming up.
• 5:06
  And I mean, I'm not sure if you noticed my sparkly sparkly hat.
• 5:11
  Yeah. You know, usually a table cover
• 5:14
  this, this is just throwing us out there, OK.
• 5:17
  Usually if you do a table cover for your business it's going to
• 5:20
  cost you like 405 hundred bucks. 500 yash Max.
• 5:24
  At least, OK, this guy, I don't know how he does it, but you
• 5:29
  know, it's going to be under $300.00 and it's only taking
• 5:35
  like 6-7 days. It hasn't even taken that long
• 5:38
  and he's going to be bringing it today so you'll be able to see
• 5:42
  the NBR table cover. It's you know, so I I just made
• 5:47
  the morning wood logo come alive.
• 5:49
  I like to say I did, but Chris, Chris Forbes, who's going to be
• 5:53
  joining us at the top of the hour, really took just something
• 5:57
  that I've, I've just kind of had fun with and, you know, took it
• 6:02
  to the next level. Detailed vector filed it.
• 6:05
  And I can't tell you how excited I was to see like this come
• 6:11
  alive. So if think of everybody who
• 6:14
  needs T-shirts out there or, you know, logos or, you know,
• 6:18
  especially bars, you know, I, I, there's a place like right up
• 6:22
  the road here called The Dirty Duck.
• 6:24
  And last year I was like, I, I like to get my son T-shirts that
• 6:28
  are like ridiculous, right? So someone's like, what, why are
• 6:33
  you wearing that T-shirt? So I went into The Dirty duck
• 6:36
  just to buy a T-shirt. I wandered in there and said, do
• 6:40
  you guys have any T-shirts? Can I get a large?
• 6:42
  And they said, Oh, we just ran out of our merch.
• 6:43
  And I was like, I just wanted AT shirt that said Dirty Duck.
• 6:49
  So you turned in the wario for a second.
• 6:52
  You know, and I and I and I, I totally forgot I should have
• 6:55
  wore them because I know that you guys would love to see my
• 6:58
  legs, but Tracer sent me a gift in the mail.
• 7:02
  She got me a pair of duck. I don't know if they're swim
• 7:05
  trunks or boxer shorts, but they're they're a pair of shorts
• 7:09
  with ducks on it. And I totally didn't wear them
• 7:13
  today. And yeah, I made a Boo, Boo.
• 7:15
  But for if Tracer's listening today, I wanted to say thank you
• 7:20
  and look good. Yeah, I look real good.
• 7:24
  And Tracer is in New York right now.
• 7:27
  She's getting, she's graduating from college, She's getting her
• 7:31
  master's degree. So big, huge Congrats.
• 7:34
  To the. Tracer and before before I
• 7:40
  forgive this week's mail call, we got a special one.
• 7:45
  Play it. Is that the what would miss
• 7:49
  Vicki? Do no, no.
• 7:51
  I'll like you put the mail call. In Oh shoot all.
• 7:54
  Right. Don't worry, we'll keep keep.
• 7:57
  We, we, we could, we could talk about something crazy that has
• 8:00
  just happened in Denver. So there has been a truly wild
• 8:05
  discovery. While drilling for geothermal
• 8:10
  heating under its own parking lot, Denver's Museum of Nature
• 8:16
  and Science unearthed a 67.5 million year old dinosaur
• 8:23
  vertebra with fossilized plants. And so they pretty much
• 8:31
  unearthed the whole bunch of stuff they can make an exhibit
• 8:33
  out of, which I think it's pretty cool.
• 8:37
  And if you haven't been to the date, the Denver's Nature, what
• 8:42
  is it? Nature and Science Museum?
• 8:44
  Oh God, I could. And and it's free for.
• 8:46
  Veterans. Yeah, it's free for veterans.
• 8:49
  Go. Yeah, yeah.
• 8:52
  Wow. I tell you what, I I thought we
• 8:54
  was going to get ready to speak into a, a conspiracy theory, You
• 8:59
  know, talking about what's under the DIA, what's under the
• 9:03
  sniffer, museum science. Well, let's try this again.
• 9:06
  Let's try the mail. Call Nixon.
• 9:09
  Attention Mail. Call Hartman.
• 9:14
  Hartman. Hartman here's what we do is Mr.
• 9:29
  Travis Perrington. He does the OM Radio show here
• 9:34
  on MB Radio. We want to say congratulations
• 9:37
  to him because he just won an award.
• 9:40
  He is number 14th in the world for a military podcast and we
• 9:46
  just wanted to honor him and say good job.
• 9:50
  Congratulations. You know, that's what it's all
• 9:54
  about. Hot 15, baby.
• 9:56
  That's what it's all about. And, and just so you everybody
• 9:59
  knows if you, if you're starting out podcasting, OK, don't ask
• 10:04
  other people what like their downloads are because you're
• 10:07
  just going to get discouraged. Just know that, you know,
• 10:11
  sometimes it takes eight or nine years to get your name out
• 10:14
  there. Sometimes it takes eight or nine
• 10:16
  years to, to get the routine, you know, in, in full force.
• 10:22
  And that's what he's done. He's, he's closing up.
• 10:26
  Yesterday he closed up his eight-year podcast going on #9
• 10:31
  starting next Thursday. I just want to say
• 10:34
  congratulations. And, you know, he, he, he, he
• 10:38
  posted something and I told him, and I'm going to tell everybody
• 10:42
  here, you know, don't get discouraged when people try to
• 10:49
  steal your shine, OK? Because it's going to happen.
• 10:53
  People are going to try to steal your shine.
• 10:55
  And stay away from those people. Yeah, just just stay away from
• 10:58
  because remember in a garden of people, OK, you have to pull out
• 11:03
  those weeds, even if those weeds look pretty.
• 11:09
  Hey, but. Podcasting's an adventure.
• 11:14
  And and if it's something you're curious about, I remember
• 11:18
  falling in love with podcasting, going to the Colorado media
• 11:21
  school, thinking I'm going to be in this big radio star, right.
• 11:26
  And podcasting was really structured at the time.
• 11:30
  I think I still have the packet like your, your, your free, your
• 11:34
  free talk for 12 minutes into a into a music break into your
• 11:38
  commercials. OK, don't I'm not going to go
• 11:40
  there completely. But the point is that if it's
• 11:44
  something you want to do, like start recording yourself or
• 11:47
  start doing vlogs because it's it's an adventure and it's a
• 11:51
  growth in year by year. You know, even after four what
• 11:54
  we're we're on episode 6. Wow.
• 11:58
  Like, I feel that, right. It's like when you want to make
• 12:02
  a snowman and you start with a little snowball, you're going to
• 12:05
  start with a little snowball. You're not all of a sudden just
• 12:07
  be like, I want to make a snowman.
• 12:11
  Boom. Yeah, no, So it's it's a growth.
• 12:14
  And once you're on that ride to adventure, this is an adventure.
• 12:19
  Then it gets fun. Then it gets fun.
• 12:20
  You you keep what works and you throw out what doesn't work.
• 12:24
  How do you feel about podcasting?
• 12:28
  It's a learning, learning experience.
• 12:31
  So one thing I'm learning week by week.
• 12:35
  I can't pay attention to everything at the same time.
• 12:39
  No, I'm giving it that. Sooner or later you will will
• 12:43
  sooner or later you will because it's a, it's like a second
• 12:45
  nature. I, I like to, I like to explain
• 12:49
  it like driving a car. When you get in a car while
• 12:53
  you're driving, do you mess with the phone and stuff?
• 12:55
  No, the first thing that you do when you do podcasts, you, you
• 12:59
  mess with the mic. After that, after you go live,
• 13:02
  you don't touch that mic because the littlest sound can, can
• 13:07
  aggravate the listeners. There's too many options out
• 13:09
  there. They'll just turn it off.
• 13:11
  OK, then usually you like, you know, set the mirrors and, you
• 13:17
  know, make sure everything's good, right?
• 13:19
  Same thing with the sound mixer. Same thing with the sound and
• 13:24
  everything. Once you got your license the
• 13:26
  first time, I don't know about you, but I know I had to pull
• 13:31
  into a parking lot and I remember, OK, I need to go here
• 13:35
  and here. OK, now I got that.
• 13:38
  Sooner or later you get in a routine, you'll never have to do
• 13:41
  that again. But once you get in a routine,
• 13:44
  once you get in a rhythm, then it's so much easier.
• 13:48
  But like I said, I've been doing this since 2015 and I'm still
• 13:53
  learning. But it's a journey.
• 13:56
  You have to appreciate the journey.
• 13:58
  I love it. I think the thing for me is
• 14:00
  definitely the segments for me. I like seeing and having
• 14:06
  something strategized, organized, because if you get
• 14:10
  that, that shot in the dark where somebody's like, I want to
• 14:13
  syndicate you, but you're gonna have to play my imagery, my
• 14:17
  commercials in the middle of this, you're and if you're just
• 14:19
  one of those people that are just like blah.
• 14:21
  Blah blah blah blah blah. Just having a podcast to talk,
• 14:25
  you know, and don't do the work and don't do the research.
• 14:28
  You're gonna find yourself climbing up that mountain a lot
• 14:31
  harder. Now I saw I saw a video that you
• 14:35
  posted yesterday. Did you did you get a hangout
• 14:38
  with Hardy's podcast? His podcast was cool, so was.
• 14:42
  You a guest or was you just overlooking?
• 14:45
  My client who I just admire more and more, more and more her name
• 14:52
  is Anne Marie Jakar and she was the 1st guest on the Hardy
• 14:57
  podcast. And if all of you out there who
• 15:00
  know you know your your your Denver, Denver blood.
• 15:03
  Dan Hardy is 95 the mountain and he is a big dude.
• 15:09
  He's a big dude. I think I my head is up to his
• 15:12
  belly button like when I see him and it's he's.
• 15:17
  So tall, but he's, he's cool. He's he's, he's.
• 15:21
  Cool, he's like cool as a cucumber, man, he's cool as a
• 15:24
  cucumber. And I, I, I got to take, I, I
• 15:27
  was their media person. I got to take pictures and, and
• 15:31
  hearing stories from my client. Like she was a big MTV producer
• 15:37
  and she like she journalist, rock journalist and and I feel
• 15:43
  very, very lucky to have that, that hoot going on right now.
• 15:47
  But it was a really neat podcast you talked about.
• 15:50
  And I'll put links to all of that in the morning one.
• 15:53
  Actually there's links to it in the morning one right now if
• 15:56
  you're really curious. That's why that's how I found
• 15:59
  out about. It and and and I'm I'm hoping
• 16:02
  Hey, Dan Hardy, if you're listening, if you need me this
• 16:04
  week. Right, right.
• 16:07
  Hey, I'm her service dog. I'm her service dog.
• 16:11
  Just throwing it out there. I love taking pictures, but
• 16:14
  there's there's like different types of pictures.
• 16:16
  You got your landscape people, you know, you got your headshot
• 16:19
  people. I like the action.
• 16:21
  Like, I like when when I'm taking pictures and there's
• 16:25
  action going on, like, you know, I every once in a while I'll pop
• 16:28
  into a protest or like, just like our skydiving, like I had
• 16:33
  my scope and I was like, I want to see if I can get Lucas's
• 16:36
  face. Yeah, before, before we go on
• 16:40
  break, the, the skydiving, it was amazing.
• 16:43
  It was amazing. I think the best part of it for
• 16:46
  the guys was when they were coming down, they were listening
• 16:48
  to the music. Why skydiving doesn't have music
• 16:52
  playing while they're skydiving, I have absolutely no idea.
• 16:57
  But it's it's almost like when you go on a football field or
• 17:00
  when you go on a baseball field, it's just a different feeling
• 17:05
  when you do practice or when you do a game, when you have the
• 17:08
  music playing. Did you hear the music, Lucas?
• 17:12
  I would say like when we were getting closer.
• 17:15
  You getting on it? Yeah, yeah.
• 17:16
  For sure, because yeah, there's some, I mean for us like music
• 17:19
  and then seeing you guys, I, I felt like I was super hyper that
• 17:23
  day. It was.
• 17:24
  It was pretty cool. It was, it was great.
• 17:27
  I'm coming down. The free bird was really sick.
• 17:30
  Right, well, hey, check this out.
• 17:32
  We're going to go on my first music break, you know, and
• 17:36
  talking about free Bird, if we can find it.
• 17:39
  Die tired. Oh, okay.
• 17:47
  Die tired, brand new hit free falling.
• 17:51
  We're going to play that and we can find it.
• 17:54
  And when we come back? Perhaps called Fall Forever.
• 17:57
  Yeah, there we go. See this once I was way off.
• 18:00
  Hey, when we come back, we'll be hitting the what the segment.
• 18:04
  So whatever you do, stay with us.

  What's up everyone? I don't know how to talk.

  I don't know why you trust me to do this.
• 27:26
  I can ride my bike with no handlebars, no handlebars, no
• 27:31
  handlebars. Well, you don't feel for that,
• 27:37
  for that, for that police officer that had a hard time.
• 27:40
  Don't feel bad because Biden couldn't do it either.
• 27:43
  So just just making, just letting you know.
• 27:48
  I think these guys are Wheeling on TAPA things.
• 27:50
  Hold on. That guy's Suppose that guy's
• 27:55
  all in a lot better shape than an 87 year old.
• 27:58
  I mean, that is true, that is true, but.
• 28:01
  We're I mean, if I'm feeling the same way like an 8, I actually
• 28:05
  don't 80 something. If I'm feeling the same way he
• 28:07
  is, I'm doing something wrong. That's where I'm at.
• 28:10
  I mean, when have we? Ever seen Trump on a bike?
• 28:12
  I'm just saying. Well, we saw Trump on the
• 28:16
  stairs. It looks like he had A Little
• 28:17
  Dream to do. They trip and fall just the same
• 28:22
  as us, everyone. Yes they do.
• 28:23
  I just want to hear him yell pedal power.
• 28:29
  I'm dying. I came across this video and I
• 28:33
  was like, this is amazing. What do you think, Miss Vicki?
• 28:39
  How can you go down the stairs? Stairs one out of 10.
• 28:43
  I like that they're like buddies.
• 28:45
  Like they're buddies like, yeah, nice wheelie, right?
• 28:47
  And they're doing social media. So they won my heart instantly.
• 28:52
  Makes me think of what's his name, Noah Hill and Channing
• 28:57
  Tatum. Oh yeah.
• 28:59
  Jump Street when they're biker cops.
• 29:02
  Busy bike cops don't do Donuts, they do wheelies.
• 29:05
  That's. True.
• 29:10
  Yeah, that was a dad joke. That was a really bad dad joke.
• 29:13
  I. Know there's like a bunch let's
• 29:15
  see. But bike cops always pedal their
• 29:18
  their point home. I mean, Can you imagine a bike
• 29:22
  cop rolling up on you and you know a, a part of you, you know
• 29:25
  a part of you already is going to be like really like, how do
• 29:29
  you take it? It's actually so funny that you
• 29:32
  that this is the what though, because I saw a video just like
• 29:37
  just like yesterday of a bike cop pulling over a kid on a bike
• 29:42
  and he's like, don't do wheelies in the road, 'cause he was, he
• 29:45
  was riding down the street, he was in the bike lane, but he was
• 29:48
  like doing wheelies and stuff. He's like, that's dangerous.
• 29:50
  What a cool community thing though, too.
• 29:52
  They're advertising for people to come out with them and
• 29:55
  exercise. I mean, either that or, you
• 29:57
  know, times are tough and you know, slim Pickens in the bike
• 30:01
  cap department. We need reinforcements.
• 30:03
  Let's ask the community. I I love that video so much.
• 30:08
  It cracks me up. I I secretly like.
• 30:11
  They're here in Colorado, aren't they?
• 30:13
  Wasn't that Frederick, Charlie? Yeah, yeah, we should.
• 30:16
  We should. We should request for them to
• 30:20
  come to the studio so that we can talk to them about it.
• 30:23
  Maybe, maybe we can do kind of like a Tosh .0, you know, do a
• 30:27
  video. Where are they?
• 30:30
  They, they, they, they, they renew themselves.
• 30:35
  You know what I mean? Like I, I just, I mean to ride a
• 30:39
  bike all day just waiting to roll up on somebody, you know,
• 30:43
  like especially at the park. I, I like to go walking at the
• 30:47
  park where I, I live close to and I, I do it at least a couple
• 30:53
  times a week and I like to get at least an hour in there and a
• 30:56
  good sweat. And I can't tell you when I walk
• 30:59
  across or like walk over or walk near and I see like a, like an
• 31:04
  empty liquor bottle, like one of those little shooters.
• 31:07
  It's just like, really, you had to drop that on the ground or
• 31:11
  you just couldn't make it to the basket, you know, like.
• 31:14
  I get wanting a little buzz while you're in public but throw
• 31:17
  away your trash and come. On I would be a hysterical bike
• 31:20
  top and I just want the world to know it.
• 31:24
  You would be hysterical, anything you would be.
• 31:27
  I could just see you as a waitress.
• 31:31
  That would be funny. It was a horrible waitress.
• 31:34
  Really. I remember one dude and it was
• 31:37
  I, I waitressed during a billiards session and this one
• 31:43
  dude, I could not remember his order for the life of me.
• 31:47
  And then finally I went up to her because I wasn't the only
• 31:49
  waitress. I was like, why do you keep
• 31:51
  ordering for me? I cannot remember your Mick
• 31:54
  Lightman. I don't know what it is.
• 31:56
  And and I wouldn't like remember that he had ordered until I'd
• 31:59
  like walked by him twice. I just I was a horrible
• 32:02
  waitress, great bartender, but. Did you ever like get the tamp
• 32:05
  or someone just try to smile more?
• 32:08
  No, definitely not me. I mean, no, I've definitely said
• 32:12
  some stuff to some people like people that either like a.
• 32:17
  Tip try to be faster with. Eight or more, 8 or more people
• 32:21
  tab, you know, and then you get like $5, right?
• 32:25
  I remember that happened. It, it was a a poker tournament.
• 32:29
  And then there was this lady, she tipped me $5 and then she
• 32:32
  walked up to me and wanted another drink.
• 32:34
  She like closed her tab and then reopened it.
• 32:36
  And I said, do you see those stairs up there?
• 32:38
  She said, yeah. I said they lead to the bar
• 32:42
  later, you know? But back to the bite cop thing.
• 32:48
  I mean it, if you're listening out there, Denver police, I
• 32:53
  don't. I really want to be a bike cop
• 32:55
  because I just want to roll up on somebody in the park.
• 32:57
  You want a job shadow? Yeah, job shadow.
• 33:00
  Yeah. So if if you're Frederickson
• 33:03
  County or you know somebody, reach out.
• 33:07
  Good morning and Amber. Good morning podcast.
• 33:11
  They will be here September 5th. September 5th for Prime Con.
• 33:15
  I think I got that right. Dropping tour dates now.
• 33:18
  Yeah. Oh, OK.
• 33:20
  Yeah, good. We got, we got some people in
• 33:21
  the chat. I'm super excited about our
• 33:23
  guest too. Yeah.
• 33:25
  And don't forget this Saturday, you can see me and Holly at the
• 33:31
  Douglas County Fairground. It's a car show that American
• 33:36
  Military Family is putting together.
• 33:40
  American Family Military Family is a nonprofit organization that
• 33:45
  is dedicated. The last, I believe it's been
• 33:49
  like 2025 years. It's it's been a while.
• 33:52
  They've dedicated their life in helping veterans find their
• 33:57
  purpose, finding their outlet, most importantly, helping them
• 34:03
  fix their PTSD, you know, trying to help them adapt and overcome
• 34:09
  on different things. You know, it's a big, it's a,
• 34:11
  it's a big thing for veterans here, especially in, in
• 34:16
  Colorado. Ever since we started doing like
• 34:18
  the shows and stuff, the homeless population has went
• 34:23
  down. But like I, I, last time I
• 34:25
  checked, it was like 5 or 5.5% has went down.
• 34:29
  So telling the stories, doing the podcast, I think it really
• 34:34
  helps veterans. That's the reason why I wanted
• 34:37
  to do the mail call with. You're talking about PTSD and
• 34:42
  those guys died tired, You were saying?
• 34:43
  Yeah, work at a a PTSD clinic. And yeah, a lot of their lyrics
• 34:48
  are just inspired. Oh, yeah, I mean, what they
• 34:50
  they're great lyrics. They're great.
• 34:52
  And I'm telling you, you know, remember that old show, Regis
• 34:56
  Lee, Kathie Lee or whatever? OK, I'm telling you right now,
• 35:01
  die tired, focus, keep your eye on that band.
• 35:07
  They are going to be the next big thing.
• 35:09
  You just watch they've. Got a really watch sound where I
• 35:13
  it's it's very like authentic to sounding for them, but it's also
• 35:18
  got you know that like that kind of like the main mainstream B22.
• 35:24
  It's a very nice like blend of of uniqueness, while also
• 35:29
  something that a lot I sound a lot of people can get behind.
• 35:32
  I don't know really how to describe it, but that's.
• 35:34
  Right. I see what you're saying.
• 35:36
  Like, yeah, they're, they're really good.

• 44:10
  imagine like a conversation getting really awkward, right?
• 44:13
  And you're like, what do I say? I think you should say that.
• 44:17
  Got your butt hole. That is, that's a walking HR
• 44:23
  complaint. I mean that do not do this at
• 44:27
  work, OK? This is the HD job.
• 44:31
  Oh my God, Yeah. Can you imagine seeing that like
• 44:33
  working at McDonald's? Working anywhere.
• 44:37
  I mean. If my Co.
• 44:38
  Like would you like to super size that?
• 44:40
  Oops. My Co worker says got your butt
• 44:43
  hold of me I'm walking out of the ship.
• 44:46
  That's manly with the problem. Now I'm you figure that guy out.
• 44:50
  I'm giving them a raise. 1 you had the CONUS to say that, and
• 44:55
  two, I am still thinking about you saying that in three.
• 44:59
  They're going to make you take a sensitivity training course
• 45:02
  about creating toxic workplaces. Be careful, sit down after I do
• 45:06
  that. I'm telling.
• 45:08
  I'm telling Gene what she said Holly.
• 45:10
  I hope you tell Gene, Gene, Gene, you're getting a shout
• 45:13
  out. Gene is like, have you ever
• 45:15
  heard any of his Alaska stories? I don't think he's told me any
• 45:20
  of those. Like a scientist up in.
• 45:22
  Oh, now I'm training. And Alaska.
• 45:25
  And and Antarctica, I've got a patch from him.
• 45:29
  He was one of my favorites and and I'm going to tell the story.
• 45:33
  OK, I was going to say I'm I'm waiting for this.
• 45:37
  There was a student and then there was Gene who was a
• 45:41
  student. But Gene, Gene is just epic,
• 45:45
  epic, right? A.
• 45:46
  Little bit of advance evidently. Gene has a heart.
• 45:49
  And then he was helping the student out and this, this
• 45:53
  student got a little bossy and, and me, I'm, I'm, I'm just, I'm,
• 45:58
  I'm watching this, right? And I'm, and I'm seeing this
• 46:01
  develop kind of like, all right, so Gene is so light hearted and
• 46:07
  he's sweet. And then finally, when Gene put,
• 46:10
  he put his foot down to this student and I got to witness it,
• 46:15
  he was like, what do you think I am?
• 46:18
  You're a taxi like this. The student had gotten to the
• 46:22
  point where he was kind of demanding, go get my cameras, go
• 46:26
  do this, go do this, go do this, go do this.
• 46:28
  And Gene, man, that's, that's what I knew that guy had some I
• 46:32
  I love it when people have a spine, like you're really nice,
• 46:35
  but then that's it, you know, can you relate?
• 46:40
  Oh I there's this dude on the 2nd shift that pisses Gene off.
• 46:46
  I've gotten into some shifts and like he is just like on the
• 46:50
  warpath and like the whole management team's trying to calm
• 46:53
  him down and he's like this, Jack Ashton said he said no, no
• 46:56
  long 2 times. He didn't set these clocks or
• 46:58
  anything and that he's writing up emails to management.
• 47:02
  So yeah, no, I'm Gene. Gene's old school hard work.
• 47:05
  Bro, he's like, I have had nothing but positive
• 47:08
  interactions with this man, but like really he he will be, he
• 47:13
  will let you know if he's upset that you're leaving.
• 47:15
  He's like you're leaving the pod messed up for him when he comes
• 47:19
  in there girl, I mean. That's here's, here's the thing.
• 47:23
  I, I, I was thinking about this, you know, if, if you're working
• 47:27
  with somebody or, or you're in that management, right, that,
• 47:32
  that management position. And then you've got somebody
• 47:35
  that, you know, like if you like, if you see a chair, you
• 47:38
  don't push it in or if something's on the ground, you
• 47:40
  don't pick it up. Or, like you, you know what the
• 47:43
  job protocol is and you're like watching them and waiting for
• 47:48
  them to do it. We call that doing the
• 47:51
  initiative. Oh, Mama, this is where I have a
• 47:54
  hard time because I I like to brag.
• 47:58
  And then a lot of a lot of my cover letter says I'm that
• 48:01
  person that does it before you ask me.
• 48:04
  And I love people like that. They're easy to get along with,
• 48:08
  they're easy to work with. But then, you know, in this
• 48:11
  world, everybody needs a paycheck.
• 48:13
  So as a manager, and then you've got this new wave of like lingo,
• 48:17
  like how how you say it to them to clue them in, right.
• 48:22
  So what would you say to that one person that it's just kind
• 48:26
  of like just just just not it's not clicking with them without,
• 48:29
  you know, you being one an HR problem losing your temper and
• 48:33
  your energy, because as soon as you lose your temper or you, you
• 48:36
  get like if you if you pull a gene, like as soon as you pull a
• 48:40
  gene like your energy. Level When I was a manager, I
• 48:43
  knew I did a lot of training on employees still.
• 48:47
  And often times I would just be like, I would just watch them
• 48:50
  and like if I just saw that they started doing something wrong, I
• 48:53
  just I would just stop them and be like that's not right.
• 48:57
  And I would just, I would just keep doing it until they started
• 48:59
  doing it right, so. I wish I could have a whip.
• 49:02
  Yeah, well. You got a spoon?
• 49:09
  I thought about that this morning.
• 49:10
  I was like, I got to get my wooden spoon in here.
• 49:14
  It's got some different management styles than me I
• 49:16
  guess. It's a face.
• 49:19
  I've got a, a placard and it's in my kitchen and it says like
• 49:29
  if you cook it, share it, if you spill it, wipe it up, you know,
• 49:35
  it's something like that. And I would have a on purpose
• 49:41
  conversation to that effect if it pertained to the office or
• 49:47
  whatever. It's just consideration.
• 49:54
  Just just consider. Consider it.
• 49:57
  No, we're all, we're all just trying to get to the end of
• 49:59
  Furnish. Yeah, something they get hard
• 50:00
  there for each other. For 8 hours or two hours or
• 50:04
  three hours, You you can't put up with this.
• 50:09
  Yeah. I like to tell people when they
• 50:11
  get me going, and I mean get me going, that they're not being
• 50:16
  nice. This is not nice, man.
• 50:18
  I can only have One Cup of coffee a day, right, And I'm
• 50:22
  almost done with my last sip. And when you get me going that
• 50:27
  the other side of that is you, you get tired.
• 50:30
  That's why I like the drama or those like those people that are
• 50:34
  like, you know, the gossipy people that kind of like get,
• 50:37
  you know, stick it all up like that type of thing.
• 50:41
  Because if I, if I lose my energy at the amount of stuff we
• 50:44
  have to do, think about our tomorrow, we were we're going to
• 50:47
  be at a car show and then a hoedown.
• 50:52
  This is happening, which I'm super excited about because I'm
• 50:55
  going to have endless jokes about Hoedowns and I think I'm
• 50:58
  going to get a lot of content Hoedown.
• 51:00
  Well, you know, I'll tell you what I, I've, I've been doing
• 51:03
  this for a long time. And one of the things that I do
• 51:06
  when I have people like, you know, helping me and doing stuff
• 51:10
  for me, before I even ask them to do stuff, I try to, I try to
• 51:16
  eat with them. I try to eat with them.
• 51:20
  Because if you eat with them, they know that you're looking at
• 51:24
  them as a person rather than just somebody that that does
• 51:30
  shit for you, you know, and like, you know, there's been
• 51:34
  times when HG and, and then caveman has been, you know,
• 51:38
  working and stuff. And you know, every week I asked
• 51:41
  them, are you guys good? Do you need?
• 51:44
  Anything I do hear you ask? That, you know, and like, you
• 51:48
  know, I'll, I'll, I'll kind of like slide, you know, a couple
• 51:51
  20 or whatever, you know, for gas or something.
• 51:54
  Or like caveman. There was a part for his car
• 51:59
  that he needed just for his heater.
• 52:03
  So I bought it for him, you know.
• 52:07
  I, I tried to understand the person you know, but you, you
• 52:10
  get people that they call, you know, it's not good to judge.
• 52:13
  I don't call it judging. I call it character profiling.
• 52:17
  Honestly, like wholeheartedly. I could tell when, when the like
• 52:21
  when the doorknob, when, when I see the doorknob move, like how
• 52:26
  it moves. I can I and I don't know if it's
• 52:28
  all the hairdressing in me, I can tell what type of person I'm
• 52:31
  dealing with. Like if the doors, like you see
• 52:33
  the door knob just kind of shake and jiggle or if it's like just
• 52:37
  a nice turn and it's open. I'm like, oh, this person's
• 52:39
  going to be awesome. And never, never, never say
• 52:43
  you'll figure it out. Never say that, OK?
• 52:47
  Always say we'll figure it out. Always, always, never say you'll
• 52:53
  figure it out because you know. That's money.
• 52:57
  Do you have a favorite boss? Huh.
• 53:00
  Do you have a favorite boss? This guy so you already got the
• 53:05
  job. You don't have to kiss, but.
• 53:06
  He's not even really a boss. Like it's just.
• 53:09
  That's that's the sound of he's just.
• 53:10
  Like the he's just the head. So, you know, I follow his lead,
• 53:13
  but it's. Well, anyways, so hey, it is
• 53:19
  that time. It is that time is we're going
• 53:23
  to go on music break and boy do we have our guests.
• 53:27
  Here is Chris Ford. You know, I thought, I thought
• 53:31
  he was like when I, when I first met him on Facebook, I, I, I
• 53:37
  thought he owned Forbes magazine because it said Chris Forbes.
• 53:41
  And I'm like, I don't know. OK, he's an embroidery Chris.
• 53:44
  The guy is amazing with the screen.
• 53:46
  So you're going to see the results.
• 53:48
  He did the new MBR tablecloth. So what if you do stay with us?
• 53:52
  Don't go away. You're listening to the morning
• 53:54
  one show right here on the station that's letting our
• 53:57
  veterans be heard. MBR.
• 1:03:36
  We we've got our today's today's guest is rocking and rolling
• 1:03:43
  with us. He's a a real big deal when it
• 1:03:47
  comes to turning blank into branded.
• 1:03:51
  He's a designer, embroiderer and a mastermind.
• 1:03:55
  The mastermind behind Sensation designed So if if you're a brand
• 1:04:01
  out there, this is this is the man you wanna see right here.
• 1:04:06
  I'm not sure if you can see him yet, but I can.
• 1:04:10
  So he's helping creatives and small businesses style hustlers
• 1:04:14
  level up with custom clothing, logo, logos and what's new.
• 1:04:20
  What is new? What's new and what's cool?
• 1:04:23
  A whole lot is cool. Us, we're cool.
• 1:04:27
  Knowing it. Yeah.
• 1:04:30
  Miss Vicky's on the mic now we're super cool.
• 1:04:34
  Times 10. How was your ride in this
• 1:04:36
  morning, Chris? Man, the traffic was terrific.
• 1:04:41
  Nice and slow, no bumps, you know what I mean.
• 1:04:45
  Everything ran smooth bumper to bumper.
• 1:04:49
  So what? What's the first thing you ever
• 1:04:51
  embroidered or designed? My own logo.
• 1:04:55
  Yeah. My own logo, that's that's the
• 1:04:59
  first design I did was my dog design.
• 1:05:03
  That's where it all started, yeah.
• 1:05:06
  Your dog design for your. Well, you know, I, I, I have, I
• 1:05:12
  have another business and I do pet traveling and I transport
• 1:05:19
  pets, you know, and so I had a logo there.
• 1:05:24
  And that's when I started to learn about building brands was
• 1:05:29
  investing in myself, right? So I started realizing that when
• 1:05:34
  I spent all this money over here, how the heck am I going to
• 1:05:37
  get my money back, right? So I had to figure out how
• 1:05:41
  branding worked and how things like that came about.
• 1:05:46
  So yeah, my design, Rude Boy Bullies was my first design that
• 1:05:53
  I did personally and that was interesting.
• 1:05:56
  It was, it was interesting because you know, software,
• 1:06:03
  software is fun and that's what runs a lot of these programs
• 1:06:08
  that you see TV wise, machinery, stuff like that, your software.
• 1:06:16
  So I started really focusing on the software that does more on
• 1:06:22
  the digitizing side for the machines to recognize the file.
• 1:06:28
  It's almost like a tattoo machine gun for fabric though,
• 1:06:33
  right? So, but The thing is, is the the
• 1:06:37
  machine speaks one language, right?
• 1:06:41
  And the software is the translator.
• 1:06:44
  So you got to know how to run the software so that way it can
• 1:06:48
  translate to the machine to make your job easier.
• 1:06:51
  So miss. Miss Vicky was asking, how long
• 1:06:54
  ago did you start? Oh, this has been shoot, I think
• 1:07:00
  I remember it was like 2015, 2015.
• 1:07:06
  I, I, I, I seen, I was at a festival.
• 1:07:12
  I was at a festival and I seen this guy in the back seat of his
• 1:07:15
  car and he had a cutter, a plotter, a vinyl cutter.
• 1:07:20
  And I seen that and I, he had a little converter box, you know,
• 1:07:23
  to where it like, you know, like you could plug ATV in and things
• 1:07:26
  like that. And we're at this festival in
• 1:07:29
  the middle of nowhere, right? And I see this and it kind of
• 1:07:32
  was like, wow, OK. I remember as a kid going to the
• 1:07:37
  flea market and buying simple stickers, vinyl cut stickers,
• 1:07:44
  you know, for you could put on your bike or your whatever.
• 1:07:50
  And I seen that guy at the festival with that machine.
• 1:07:53
  And that's where I kind of really clicked in my head about,
• 1:07:59
  Dang, that's cool, right? That's what, Yeah, that's cool,
• 1:08:02
  right? Those are fun.
• 1:08:03
  Like those are fun little epiphanies, you know, like, you
• 1:08:07
  know, down the road to where you where you put it together.
• 1:08:11
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. See, so again, it all started
• 1:08:15
  with just that light clicking on, you know what I mean?
• 1:08:18
  And that's when it came about. And so I, I bought a cutter, I
• 1:08:23
  got a couple cutters and I sat in my kitchen for hours and
• 1:08:29
  hours like my eyes would hurt, like I thought I wrecked my eyes
• 1:08:33
  because I was really so. You have so you've always,
• 1:08:37
  you've always had that entrepreneur.
• 1:08:39
  Yeah, that's key, yeah. Because you know, you knew you
• 1:08:42
  had to put the hard work in then in order to so many of these, I
• 1:08:46
  charge this. Yeah.
• 1:08:49
  And that's the biggest thing about it was when you sit and
• 1:08:51
  think about like this, when you sit and think about like all
• 1:08:55
  these big companies out here and all this stuff and you're over
• 1:08:57
  here just learning like, and, you know, my age, I wasn't young
• 1:09:03
  right when I, when I start to really play with it.
• 1:09:08
  But the thing was, is, is the way it all came about, you know,
• 1:09:14
  I started to mess with this because of, you know, the light
• 1:09:17
  clicked on here and next thing you know, it's like, I mastered
• 1:09:22
  this to the point where like, OK, I can only do so much.
• 1:09:26
  And then that then I had to upgrade, right?
• 1:09:29
  That's where the machines come into play.
• 1:09:31
  That's the printers and the the embroidery machines, things like
• 1:09:35
  that. So what?
• 1:09:37
  How did Sensation Design get its name?
• 1:09:40
  When did that come? Well, I'll tell you how it got
• 1:09:43
  its name as a friend of mine, a friend of mine, you know, we,
• 1:09:48
  we, but you know, I don't know, 10 years ago, right, Right about
• 1:09:52
  this ten years ago, this guy and I was like, I got these dogs.
• 1:09:58
  And so I had to start figuring out how to get my money back.
• 1:10:03
  So I start to having the brand Rude Boy Bullies.
• 1:10:07
  So with that being said, I bought, you know, a Mamaki CJV
• 1:10:13
  3130 Mamaki printer. So I started, you know, doing
• 1:10:22
  stickers and banners and things like that.
• 1:10:25
  And it's like this. It's either I pay somebody else
• 1:10:28
  to do it or I learn. And those are the key things
• 1:10:32
  that some people I think are, are afraid to do, right.
• 1:10:36
  So you, it's super important for you to be able to really, you
• 1:10:41
  know, put your, put your, your thoughts and stuff into motion,
• 1:10:45
  your ideas into motion and stuff like that.
• 1:10:47
  And that's what I did. I just bought the equipment and
• 1:10:51
  and then basically it was what's what's funny about it is then it
• 1:10:54
  became really all learning. I love hearing that you love
• 1:11:00
  software because I, I, that's me, I, I, I like seeing one
• 1:11:04
  thing and seeing the collaborative communication
• 1:11:08
  between 2:00. It's, it's fun, it's neat.
• 1:11:12
  And, and a lot of people, I do remember at one point when I was
• 1:11:16
  snowballing into my process learning Adobe and for me Adobe
• 1:11:22
  at the time, I fell in love with Adobe Audition.
• 1:11:24
  But Adobe the, the video side of of Adobe Premiere Pro, I just
• 1:11:33
  was like, this is insane. This is insane.
• 1:11:37
  And then found Filmora and it gave me hope in my heart that I
• 1:11:42
  could actually, you know, finally be an editor without,
• 1:11:46
  you know, going through 20 YouTube tutorials, you know, but
• 1:11:52
  it that's the one thing that impressed me about you the most.
• 1:11:55
  Like seeing you get into Sam, seeing you get into like, you're
• 1:11:57
  like, I'm going to figure this out.
• 1:11:58
  Like you're not there. Here's a brick wall and I'm
• 1:12:02
  punching through it. Yeah, that, that's the.
• 1:12:03
  Last to be said. That's key for people, you know,
• 1:12:07
  and their growth big time because you'll never know until
• 1:12:12
  you do it whether you fail or not.
• 1:12:14
  I mean, that's part of life. You're going to win, you're
• 1:12:16
  going to lose some, right? So that's the biggest thing I
• 1:12:20
  did is I knew I couldn't lose with this because it was for the
• 1:12:24
  right reason, right? And when you're doing things for
• 1:12:28
  the right reason, right? Like things will fall into place
• 1:12:32
  at the right time. Sometimes it don't come right
• 1:12:35
  away, but I can tell you this. So I started to really, you
• 1:12:41
  know, put this stuff together and what it did is like it, it
• 1:12:45
  started really, it was like my own internship hour, like my own
• 1:12:49
  internship for my own self to build my own brand, right.
• 1:12:54
  So I, I met a lot of people along the way who helped teach
• 1:13:02
  me, who helped me, you know, understand the differences when
• 1:13:06
  it comes to pricing and, and material things like that.
• 1:13:10
  So, yeah, this, this whole branding thing has been an
• 1:13:14
  experience. The biggest thing is, is then
• 1:13:18
  when I started doing, you know, the, the school, right?
• 1:13:23
  So then that just adds everything to the company,
• 1:13:26
  right? So now the company is, can be
• 1:13:28
  more valuable to the customer. Not only are we doing
• 1:13:33
  embroidery, we're doing printing, we're doing DTF
• 1:13:37
  transfers, we're doing UVDTF stickers, I do banners, we do
• 1:13:42
  tablecloths, we do tents if you need pop up tents, we do event
• 1:13:48
  type of merch. So I, I've just, I've just, I've
• 1:13:52
  learned, yeah, I've, I've, I've, I've learned throughout this
• 1:13:55
  whole process how, you know, networking.
• 1:13:59
  Yeah. And.
• 1:14:01
  You're gonna need some interns. Yeah, yeah, definitely,
• 1:14:04
  definitely gonna need. Some those stickers.
• 1:14:06
  Yeah, now. How's how's the how's the
• 1:14:08
  process with the sticker thing now?
• 1:14:10
  So the process with the stickers is really is is.
• 1:14:13
  It easier or still tedious? There's nothing tedious about
• 1:14:18
  it. The biggest thing that I think
• 1:14:20
  is tedious about it really is that people may not be familiar
• 1:14:28
  with the process of setting the files properly for the printer
• 1:14:33
  to print. Those are the key things like
• 1:14:36
  what I get a lot of times is. Tech TD.
• 1:14:39
  Yeah, what I get a lot of time is, is people will send me an
• 1:14:42
  image that they just screenshot and they're like, I want this,
• 1:14:45
  you know? But what the important thing is,
• 1:14:48
  is like we have to build that file to be, you know, print
• 1:14:52
  ready and, and things like that. So, you know, building your gang
• 1:14:56
  sheets and knowing how to do that maybe on Photoshop or
• 1:15:00
  corral draw, you know, stuff like that is key to, you know,
• 1:15:06
  those kind of particular process like, you know, for printing
• 1:15:10
  stickers. So I mean, it's, it's, it's
• 1:15:13
  really just as as as easy as put in your, your, your design in
• 1:15:19
  the, you know, PNG form, build your gang sheet, send it.
• 1:15:25
  And that's the quickest way to, you know, get things printed
• 1:15:30
  same day. I, I can tell you if you know,
• 1:15:32
  for those of you who are viewing for the first time and, and you
• 1:15:38
  know, we got Miss Vicki over here and we got, you know,
• 1:15:41
  Christmas for sensation Design and then me bad holly, right?
• 1:15:44
  Well, I was very lucky, very lucky to have Miss Vicki and
• 1:15:50
  Christopher as a digital, as digital students.
• 1:15:54
  And the reason why they're sitting here is because of the
• 1:15:58
  effort and the passion. And I can't tell you how fun it
• 1:16:05
  has been to work with both of you, but how fun of a process.
• 1:16:09
  You made this for me. Yeah, it's super fun.
• 1:16:13
  It's you. You made it fun like there there
• 1:16:15
  wasn't any like second guess, second guessing where you were
• 1:16:18
  in the process, what was happening.
• 1:16:21
  It was a, a text message you and videos of your, your, your
• 1:16:26
  design and your logo coming to life.
• 1:16:28
  And, and if you could have seen me like, you know, receiving
• 1:16:31
  that text message, your heart would have just like, you know,
• 1:16:34
  filled up because I squealed and I was like, it's alive.
• 1:16:40
  It's so cool. It's so cool.
• 1:16:42
  Well. It's good that you bring that up
• 1:16:43
  because in all reality, that's what I focus on the most.
• 1:16:47
  The experience. Well, the experience for you,
• 1:16:50
  but the trust that you put in me.
• 1:16:54
  So so it's crucial for me when you know, some customers, you
• 1:16:59
  know, place orders that they know exactly where their order
• 1:17:02
  stands at all times. You know what I mean?
• 1:17:05
  And that that to me, I think is the biggest part of any business
• 1:17:09
  is, is your customers having that comfort and knowing that
• 1:17:15
  they made the right decision. They didn't, you know, go with
• 1:17:20
  somebody that they questioned. You know, their, their, they're,
• 1:17:25
  yeah. What's the word?
• 1:17:27
  What's the word? Like you're verifying somebody
• 1:17:29
  kind of like like. LinkedIn does right?
• 1:17:31
  Go go check your yeah or if you're is is he verified?
• 1:17:36
  I'm going to go check Google. I question.
• 1:17:37
  That a lot I'll be honest with the texts and messages I get in
• 1:17:41
  LinkedIn I question that yeah but but yeah but that that's
• 1:17:46
  that's crucial for customers I think for me is them knowing
• 1:17:51
  that they're their decision was made you know right and that I I
• 1:17:57
  definitely have their their, you know best interest in in my.
• 1:18:04
  Yeah, full truth. It's it's nice to just see you
• 1:18:07
  take the wheel like I, I even when I sent you that PNG.
• 1:18:10
  So the first thing you're going to do with your your logo,
• 1:18:13
  right? Yeah.
• 1:18:13
  You want to e-mail me? Definitely.
• 1:18:15
  And you want to send me an e-mail.
• 1:18:17
  That's the biggest way to be able to communicate with me
• 1:18:21
  because all this other stuff kind of can be jammed up in
• 1:18:27
  different areas like say spam or you just, you know what I mean?
• 1:18:31
  Like there's a direct e-mail I. Feel that 'cause there's, you
• 1:18:33
  know, you got Snapchat, you got Instagram, you got Facebook, you
• 1:18:36
  got TikTok, you got LinkedIn and I have you know, there's,
• 1:18:39
  there's an inbox everywhere there, right?
• 1:18:42
  So you saying that is huge, Like where?
• 1:18:44
  Where can they e-mail you? Yeah, ccc.forbeschris@gmail.com.
• 1:18:49
  That's CCC Forbes Chris at gmail.com.
• 1:18:54
  Send me your logos, send me your ideas, you know, send me what
• 1:19:00
  you would like to have printed or any kind of quotes or stuff
• 1:19:04
  like that. And we could definitely get, you
• 1:19:06
  know, those answers and stuff like that.
• 1:19:08
  But, you know, the process really starts.
• 1:19:10
  There is the e-mail and sending me the design because then we
• 1:19:16
  can really focus on, you know, what the next steps are because
• 1:19:20
  that's the biggest thing about the whole process, you know, is,
• 1:19:23
  is the steps. And, and you got to trust them
• 1:19:25
  too. And, and here's here's where I
• 1:19:28
  'cause I, I, I put complete faith in where he was.
• 1:19:31
  Like you're going to take the circle logo and then the words
• 1:19:34
  on the back or, you know, just, he's a designer.
• 1:19:37
  So if if you're one of those people out there that's you
• 1:19:40
  know, not, you know, if, if you're, if your house looks like
• 1:19:47
  a frat house and you've got no unique what, what would you call
• 1:19:51
  that if you're designed inept? Yeah, there you go.
• 1:19:55
  That sounds sounds. Good faith faith.
• 1:19:58
  And that's what I like the colors like even like everything
• 1:20:03
  that and you know, because you've done this for so long,
• 1:20:06
  where to troubleshoot and how to handle.
• 1:20:09
  A difficult detailed. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:20:13
  It's crucial looking at detail in this industry.
• 1:20:18
  If you're not, if you're not paying attention to detail, then
• 1:20:22
  you may not have that repeat customer, especially when it
• 1:20:26
  comes to designing. You want that brand to stand out
• 1:20:30
  clear at all times, right? When I first started at Colorado
• 1:20:35
  Media School, one of the problems I had was I didn't
• 1:20:40
  verify people. I I did a show and this guy
• 1:20:47
  didn't back up the pictures. Then I had opportunity in
• 1:20:52
  another state. She says send me this, send me
• 1:20:55
  that. I called him.
• 1:20:57
  He didn't. He didn't.
• 1:20:58
  He didn't have it. It broke my heart.
• 1:21:01
  Yeah, see. It broke my heart.
• 1:21:04
  Because. Because I couldn't recover from
• 1:21:08
  it. And then I, I don't remember how
• 1:21:14
  I saw, saw the ad, but tell us, tell us.
• 1:21:17
  Barnes was there. He said, and I told him this
• 1:21:21
  whole, the whole story. He said he, he said, Miss V, we,
• 1:21:26
  we're going to get you branded. We, we, we're going to do this.
• 1:21:29
  We're going to do that. But really, I only had three
• 1:21:32
  questions and everybody answered my 3 questions.
• 1:21:38
  Are you supposed to back up this stuff?
• 1:21:42
  You know, just answer my 3 questions.
• 1:21:46
  Be, be, be and let me know I'm not stupid after all this time
• 1:21:52
  because it, it's enough when people don't trust your
• 1:21:55
  judgement to, to get this far in my career.
• 1:22:01
  You know, I I thought I'd never recovered, but I did.
• 1:22:07
  Oh yeah. Good, good, good.
• 1:22:08
  And that that's everything to me trust.
• 1:22:14
  And I told told Holly it was a pleasure being around people
• 1:22:21
  that the same. It is every, every it it wasn't
• 1:22:28
  a no time competition. Everybody's trying to do
• 1:22:32
  something and it was refreshing. And that's, that's what I like
• 1:22:37
  what you're saying right now, because really that really
• 1:22:41
  opened up my eyes of how I can utilize the new people, you
• 1:22:48
  know, just starting in this industry and stuff like that to
• 1:22:52
  help me brand this, this, this, you know, sensation design.
• 1:22:59
  Because one thing I like about it is there's so many different
• 1:23:04
  creative people out there doing a lot of creative stuff.
• 1:23:08
  And that's what my business is really focused on is creating,
• 1:23:13
  right? So being able to have those
• 1:23:16
  people to watch grow or watch, you know, their whole mindset
• 1:23:27
  change, that's key. And that's that's why I got into
• 1:23:32
  this industry was because it can profit or it could, it could
• 1:23:38
  benefit all of us. And that's what I really, really
• 1:23:40
  like. I want to see you do good.
• 1:23:44
  I want, I want to see you do good, you know?
• 1:23:47
  So there's, there's, there's something that's really fun that
• 1:23:50
  when you've been doing this as long as I have, like seeing
• 1:23:54
  creatives, a lot of creatives and anybody that even walks in
• 1:23:59
  to that Colorado media school, I'm like, you're creative and
• 1:24:02
  they're like me. A lot of creatives aren't ready
• 1:24:06
  to wear that word. And then I, I have had the
• 1:24:13
  opportunity to watch you guys, like you said, when you saw
• 1:24:17
  that, that guy in the van doing his thing.
• 1:24:21
  But there's something that either connects or is said or
• 1:24:26
  something you guys noticed and it, I've seen it in both of you
• 1:24:29
  where this light in your eyes just goes poof.
• 1:24:33
  And I'm like, push them down that path further, right?
• 1:24:38
  But like you said, not everybody's the same.
• 1:24:43
  We all have certain things that we we don't have to like.
• 1:24:47
  We're already motivated to do it.
• 1:24:51
  And then and in addition, if if it had not been for that school,
• 1:24:59
  I wouldn't know that we need every facet of it.
• 1:25:04
  Yes, you don't have to be good at it, but you need to know it.
• 1:25:09
  You need to know this is that it branding is important and
• 1:25:15
  marketing and everything. Otherwise you just stuck with
• 1:25:20
  people get stuck with what they think they're good at.
• 1:25:27
  I only do this. I only do that.
• 1:25:31
  You need to expose yourself to to.
• 1:25:33
  You need to expose exposure. That's what that's crucial
• 1:25:36
  because with sensation design, I, I've, I've, I've, I've tried
• 1:25:42
  to cover all areas of any kind of printing or now digital
• 1:25:49
  creating or editing and things like that.
• 1:25:51
  So that's where that school came into play.
• 1:25:54
  It was like it just gave me more tools, gave me the ability to
• 1:25:59
  offer more services. And that's what I like is being
• 1:26:04
  able to create things and make it visible for the people.
• 1:26:08
  It's super fun. It's super fun man, especially.
• 1:26:12
  When you figure it out. But that's The thing is so with
• 1:26:15
  digitizing on embroidery, right? It's it's like coloring.
• 1:26:20
  Oh yeah. Yeah, you wouldn't even realize
• 1:26:22
  it, but the software is like coloring.
• 1:26:26
  So what I do is I'll take your image, OK, and I'll put it in
• 1:26:29
  there and I trace it. I trace it with the software and
• 1:26:35
  that's basically it. That's.
• 1:26:37
  How you That's how you vector it.
• 1:26:39
  That's how I digitize for embroidery.
• 1:26:41
  Yeah, OK. Some people, they don't
• 1:26:43
  understand, it could be that easy, but this is my way of kind
• 1:26:46
  of given you a easy, you know, look on how this process works.
• 1:26:52
  This process is really super easy.
• 1:26:55
  And when I started to really learn it, it was really easy to
• 1:27:02
  learn because now going back to the beginning, right when I was
• 1:27:07
  at the festival and I seen this plotter and that's when I bought
• 1:27:11
  that plotter. And so, but that software is the
• 1:27:15
  same style of software in a sense as the embroidery
• 1:27:20
  software. The, the embroid, the software
• 1:27:23
  for the vinyl is a tracing software, right?
• 1:27:28
  And now the embroidery, it's like a coloring software, you
• 1:27:32
  know what I mean? So yeah, it's like, you know, I,
• 1:27:37
  I, I moved to California for a couple years and I didn't have
• 1:27:41
  no friends, you know what I mean?
• 1:27:42
  I, I went out there to do printing and the printing
• 1:27:46
  industry and I work with a company called Printomize
• 1:27:51
  America. They're out there in the harbor
• 1:27:54
  city of California and check it out.
• 1:28:00
  I, I went to the, I went to the, the trade show.
• 1:28:04
  That was like the first booth I went to and you know, I finished
• 1:28:09
  out the show what not, but that was the first company I went to
• 1:28:13
  because what I did is when I moved to California, first thing
• 1:28:16
  I did was go to the the Expo, find all the people local, you
• 1:28:22
  know what I mean? And then I started hitting their
• 1:28:24
  shops trying to, you know, get my face familiar and with these
• 1:28:31
  guys because those because. Those are your people.
• 1:28:33
  Yeah, because this is what I've been doing, right?
• 1:28:35
  Yeah. Those are your career buddies.
• 1:28:36
  And so I got stuck with Printomise America.
• 1:28:38
  I I ended up at their shop and I didn't go anywhere else.
• 1:28:42
  And it was super fun. I learned a lot and those guys
• 1:28:47
  are really good to work with. But what happened is then I come
• 1:28:51
  back to Colorado and I really focused on embroidery.
• 1:28:55
  So even when I was in California and not having, you know, a
• 1:28:59
  whole lot to do, except for maybe sightsee and stuff like
• 1:29:02
  that, I really kept my head, which like some people in school
• 1:29:06
  would be the books, but I really kept my mind in the computer
• 1:29:09
  with the software. And so when you talk software,
• 1:29:13
  you know, and you talk Adobe, right?
• 1:29:15
  So Adobe is very intimidating and a lot to in a lot of ways to
• 1:29:19
  a lot of people. OK, so that's what I, I, I did
• 1:29:23
  is I, I, I told myself this was something I was going to
• 1:29:27
  overcome. And that's what I focused on.
• 1:29:30
  And that's how, yeah, that's that's how, that's how, you
• 1:29:33
  know, I really stuck inside and, you know, I started messing with
• 1:29:38
  the, the embroidery software more and then Adobe.
• 1:29:43
  So I spent a couple years just focusing on those two things
• 1:29:48
  with no distractions. And that's that's really where
• 1:29:53
  the time came. So your UVDTF stickers for our
• 1:29:57
  listeners out there that don't understand what that is like,
• 1:30:01
  what kind of sticker is that? Right.
• 1:30:03
  So the cool part about that sticker is that's the new
• 1:30:06
  sticker. This is the new sticker game.
• 1:30:09
  Like we could print die cut stickers all day, but you want
• 1:30:13
  your sticker to have character and so the UV printing is like a
• 1:30:19
  whole another way of giving that sticker or even, you know,
• 1:30:25
  label. You can use them as labels or
• 1:30:28
  what not character and the the the the ink is processed and
• 1:30:35
  then the the the UV lighting kind of cures the scratch
• 1:30:42
  resistant type of material that's in the actual ink.
• 1:30:46
  So you could put them on your water bottle?
• 1:30:48
  Yeah, they're machine washable. Yeah, scratch, scratch
• 1:30:51
  resistant. And I'll tell you right now,
• 1:30:54
  I've I've had one sticker on my phone for shoot man a couple
• 1:30:58
  years now. And like you, you know, they're
• 1:31:01
  really, they're really very, very durable for, for, you know,
• 1:31:07
  your cups and anything you want to put it on.
• 1:31:10
  So are they? How?
• 1:31:11
  How are they so? So basically how they're sold
• 1:31:15
  really is just by the sheet. By the sheet.
• 1:31:18
  Yeah. So, So what I do when I when I
• 1:31:21
  when I print these sheets is I try to give the customer the
• 1:31:24
  ability to be able to maximize your profit on that sheet
• 1:31:30
  instead of trying to charge you by the inch.
• 1:31:33
  A lot of people out here be trying to really, you know, get
• 1:31:37
  the customer's pocket man. And here I'm trying to help you
• 1:31:42
  put money in your pocket. That's the difference between me
• 1:31:45
  and some other companies because I focus on you getting the most
• 1:31:51
  for your money. And that's the best way to do it
• 1:31:53
  is by, you know, size of sheet. Are you nonprofit?
• 1:31:58
  No, I've everything I've done has come out of my pocket.
• 1:32:02
  Yeah, yeah. Never, never been a nonprofit.
• 1:32:06
  Never even thought of being a nonprofit to be honest, but I do
• 1:32:10
  believe in doing charity work and I do believe in sponsorship,
• 1:32:14
  you know, type of stuff. I'm so psyched you got to come
• 1:32:18
  on the show today and definitely brag about yourself.
• 1:32:23
  I could brag about you for I could say hours, hours, hours,
• 1:32:30
  good work, work ethic, hard worker and and you're you're
• 1:32:35
  you're a future seer for sure. You know where you have to stay.
• 1:32:40
  You know, you have to stay savvy.
• 1:32:42
  You have to stay savvy and and seeing like the amount you post
• 1:32:45
  and how you advertise yourself, you're crushing it.
• 1:32:47
  But we're going to do this thing called our, our two-minute time
• 1:32:51
  to shine. And what that is, is that's
• 1:32:53
  where if I didn't ask you anything and you, if I forgot to
• 1:32:57
  ask you something that you wanted to talk about or you want
• 1:32:59
  to plug yourself. But for me, like with you, like
• 1:33:03
  I, I remember telling you, I can't wait to sign your paycheck
• 1:33:06
  like so many times. But if there's if there's
• 1:33:09
  something like a, a, a dream collab or if you have an event
• 1:33:14
  or something, if you want to even place an order to the
• 1:33:17
  universe, this is this is your time to do it today's.
• 1:33:22
  Time to Shine is brought to you by Dunkin' Donuts veterans and
• 1:33:27
  1st Responders runs on Dunkin. This is.

• 1:33:43
  Let's shine together. How about that?
• 1:33:45
  Shining. See, that's what it's about.
• 1:33:48
  Yeah. That's what it's about is, you
• 1:33:51
  know, everybody winning. That's that's the key for me.
• 1:33:55
  And I focus on, you know, you know, putting smiles on faces
• 1:34:01
  and being able to, you know, bring people's confident up, you
• 1:34:05
  know, and inspire the people, encourage them along with that
• 1:34:11
  knowledge and wisdom. That's key.
• 1:34:15
  I want to thank everybody, you know, for giving me the
• 1:34:18
  opportunity to be able to really work with some good people, some
• 1:34:24
  some inspiring people and some people to help, you know, give
• 1:34:28
  me extra tools because that's what it is, right?
• 1:34:32
  Like people helping people. That's what we need more of,
• 1:34:36
  right? Yes and all.
• 1:34:38
  Yeah, that's that. Tools, people and power.
• 1:34:41
  That's right. Your network is where it's at.
• 1:34:44
  And you know, for all our listeners out there, you, I
• 1:34:48
  mean, this, this, this was the epic, epic interview.
• 1:34:51
  Especially if you're a small business out there and you've
• 1:34:54
  just got the logo and you want to take it to merch or you want
• 1:34:57
  to take it to a really cool. What is it?
• 1:34:59
  The UVT? Yeah.
• 1:35:01
  The the UVDTF, those are stickers and the, the UV and you
• 1:35:07
  have the DTF transfers those those that's the newest, that's
• 1:35:11
  the newest wave of printing right now, like screen printing.
• 1:35:14
  Here's the downfall with all that is because screen printing
• 1:35:18
  really is become more expensive. DTF has put it to an affordable
• 1:35:27
  level for people to be able to brand themselves or start a
• 1:35:33
  business. So this is your guide to go to
• 1:35:35
  all things logo, all things stickers, new and unique.
• 1:35:38
  I want to give you a big thank you, Chris Forbes once again,
• 1:35:42
  and you can reach out to chris.forbes@gmail.com.
• 1:35:45
  Thank you. Thank you for hanging out with
• 1:35:47
  the morning wood, coming out here and sizzling with me in the
• 1:35:51
  morning. We're going to go on commercial,
• 1:35:53
  but you're listening to MBR Radio here live at Veterans
• 1:35:59
  Voices Studios. Show us your stuff.
• 1:36:02
  We're going on break. Detail attention. 1st.
• 1:36:14
  Call. The service member's name is
• 1:36:16
  called out loud in the context of a unit.
• 1:36:18
  This is meant to ensure all are present and accounted for.
• 1:36:22
  Second call. The name is called out again
• 1:36:25
  louder to confirm that the service member is indeed absent.
• 1:36:30
  Third call. The name is called out for a
• 1:36:32
  final time, followed by a statement indicating that the
• 1:36:35
  service member is not present and accounted for, signifying
• 1:36:39
  their death. The final roll call serves as a
• 1:36:42
  symbolic gesture to respect and remember their service.
• 1:36:51
  Sir, I don't. I don't know how to tell the
• 1:36:54
  story. Well, you got the joke you tell
• 1:36:58
  the people with these men did here.
• 1:37:01
  You tell them how much troopers died.
• 1:37:25
  Hey everyone, thank you for tuning in to MBR today as we pay
• 1:37:28
  tribute to U.S. Army Specialist Lorianne
• 1:37:31
  Paestua, 23, Tuba City, AZ Laurie was born on December
• 1:37:38
  14th, 1979 in Tuba City, AZ to Terry Paestua and Priscilla's
• 1:37:44
  Percy Baca. Lorianne Paista enlisted in the
• 1:37:47
  Army in October of 2001 as a single mom raising a four year
• 1:37:52
  old boy and a three-year old girl.
• 1:37:54
  She was the daughter of a Vietnam veteran and the
• 1:37:56
  granddaughter of World War 2 veteran.
• 1:37:59
  Serving her country was her colleague.
• 1:38:01
  She even served as a commanding officer of the Junior ROTC in
• 1:38:06
  high school. On March 30th, 2001, Paista left
• 1:38:10
  her basic training at Fort Sill, OK.
• 1:38:13
  After basic training, she continued on to advance
• 1:38:15
  individual training at Fort Lee, Virginia before being promoted
• 1:38:20
  to Pfc. She was then assigned to the
• 1:38:23
  Five O 7th Maintenance Company in Fort Bliss, TX.
• 1:38:27
  For the Five O 7th, Paistawa did clerical work and kept track of
• 1:38:30
  supplies. At Fort Bliss, Paistawa roomed
• 1:38:33
  with Pfc Jessica Lynch. The two became close friends and
• 1:38:37
  often referred to each other as roommate or roomie.
• 1:38:41
  In January of 2003, the five O 7th received war that they were
• 1:38:45
  be deployed to Iraq. Paistawa was still recovering
• 1:38:49
  from shoulder surgery, so she was supposed to remain at Fort
• 1:38:52
  Bliss. Knowing her roommate was anxious
• 1:38:55

  Oh, that's. Oh, that's definitely.
• 1:50:39
  A winged demon. Yeah.
• 1:50:42
  Except you like it was a microscopic sound, so I wouldn't
• 1:50:46
  be surprised. To fly that flies directly into
• 1:50:49
  your effing ear. I I I I'm going to say a wasp
• 1:50:53
  cause wasp are pretty loud it. Was a.
• 1:50:58
  Bug. It was a bug.
• 1:50:59
  A bug? She's like I'm hitting every.
• 1:51:02
  Category. Oh yeah, there we go.

  Something with six legs and wings and it's directly in your
• 1:51:08

• 1:51:08
  Look at I think it's a wasp. Yeah, I I agree with the wasp.
• 1:51:13
  Yeah, for sure. All right, let's find out.
• 1:51:16
  What's that sound? What's that sound?
• 1:51:29
  Sorry, I like that part. It's catchy, it's kind of nice
• 1:51:33
  to meet you. That was fun.
• 1:51:37
  I mean, I I think you guys nailed them that.
• 1:51:39
  So next next week, I'm going to have to put a little more
• 1:51:42
  muscle. In it.
• 1:51:43
  I was trying to find like, I, I was searching on TikTok to find
• 1:51:47
  like crazy random noises, like stuff you guys wouldn't you
• 1:51:50
  know, like, you know, maybe like blowing air out of your lip, out
• 1:51:54
  of your tight lips. Does you have a dog?
• 1:51:59
  Does your dog snore? Both of my Well, no, the little
• 1:52:03
  one doesn't pee. Pee doesn't snore.
• 1:52:06
  Yeah, no, I. Don't Why did you name your dog
• 1:52:10
  Pee? It's so funny 'cause my uncle
• 1:52:14
  Bran's like I cannot believe I have to yell pee in the morning.
• 1:52:20
  Your dog. Out.
• 1:52:21
  Spell pee spelled pea. So it, it her, her, you know,
• 1:52:24
  every, everything is simplified these days.
• 1:52:26
  So it's Sweet Pea because she's a bull mastiff copper Husky and
• 1:52:31
  she her father was one of the biggest dogs I'd ever seen in my
• 1:52:35
  life. So the joke was like, I'm going
• 1:52:38
  to name her something that's tiny because she's going to be
• 1:52:40
  gigantic. So like a little sweet pea,
• 1:52:42
  right? And we everybody she's she's
• 1:52:46
  just pee. She's pee.
• 1:52:47
  She's the how big she's got to be pushing, like probably 100
• 1:52:55
  and 45 or more, so she's a big dog.
• 1:52:58
  So how many snap peas would you say she's?
• 1:53:01
  Equivalent, That's a good question.
• 1:53:03
  She's, she is the sweetest. She, she is a straight up guard
• 1:53:07
  dog. Cause I've, I've, I've, I've
• 1:53:09
  lived a life, you know, of, of people that are envious.
• 1:53:12
  And she, I acquired her when I had my first guard dog.
• 1:53:16
  And I was worried that well, when this, this my first guard
• 1:53:20
  dog was getting older and I said, uh oh.
• 1:53:22
  So I got sweepy to learn from the first dog, who his his name
• 1:53:28
  was Tank. And she is, she's a boss.
• 1:53:31
  If if you come in the house unannounced, she will put you to
• 1:53:34
  the wall. She won't bite you, but she'll
• 1:53:37
  put you to the wall. I, I had, I, I was with a play.
• 1:53:42
  I was in a place out in Longmont and I had this long sidewalk
• 1:53:49
  that went to our our gate and I used to train her to keep
• 1:53:54
  somebody at the third sidewalk, like hold her like nobody got
• 1:53:59
  past the third sidewalk except for one day, a crazy neighbor, a
• 1:54:05
  crazy neighbor. This lady had just moved in.
• 1:54:08
  She's probably listening and she got past the third sidewalk,
• 1:54:16
  which says a lot. I think P was afraid of her and
• 1:54:20
  I, and she's getting closer to my front porch and I, I come out
• 1:54:24
  and I'm shaming my dog. What is wrong with you?
• 1:54:27
  You're supposed to have her at the third sidewalk, like in
• 1:54:30
  front of this lady to let her know I was crazy too.
• 1:54:32
  It's the what you do, right? So I was like, technically you
• 1:54:36
  were supposed to be attacked. Little heads up before you just
• 1:54:40
  walk into my, you know, my yard there lately.
• 1:54:44
  So, but that's, that's how my life was for a long time.
• 1:54:46
  I had people crawling through my windows.
• 1:54:49
  I had people crawling through my windows and turning on my, my
• 1:54:54
  kitchen sink. I would come home to a flooded
• 1:54:56
  kitchen and I, I, I definitely lived through some stuff.
• 1:55:00
  So that dog is a huge blessing. But yeah, you, you don't just
• 1:55:04
  walk into my house. I don't.
• 1:55:07
  You don't walk into anybody's house.
• 1:55:09
  Comfort in that. I take comfort in that.
• 1:55:12
  You had some real interesting crackheads.
• 1:55:14
  In. Your.
• 1:55:15
  Name breaking in just leaving the kitchen sink.
• 1:55:17
  On and you wonder why we need a key for the bathroom here at the
• 1:55:20
  studio and that. You know that, that's why you
• 1:55:23
  know what it's, it's all online. It's people that were envious of
• 1:55:27
  me online at the time. And since then I've, I have
• 1:55:31
  really like upscaled modest, you know, I don't show off anything
• 1:55:37
  because I don't want to give anybody a reason to get crazy,
• 1:55:40
  you know, So, and then and how I talk and, and a, a lot of times
• 1:55:45
  I, I, I like to hit the save button.
• 1:55:47
  And because there's, there's a lot of stuff out there that I
• 1:55:50
  mean, like a lot of the young girls nowadays, I'm like, oh
• 1:55:53
  Lord, girl, you're going to need a guard dog.
• 1:55:55
  Right, right. You're.
• 1:55:57
  Going to need a guard. Dog.
• 1:55:59
