== New Products ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' We are, man. It's, uh, just wait till March. I mean, we're excited. We want to get this, this Kickstarter fulfilled. Um, you know, that's obviously our primary goal. And, um, get everyone, you know, everyone's cases in their hands and everyone excited about their cases. Cause the feedback continues to be really positive on what we have sent out. Um, and, um, you know, then after that, after Kickstarter is done, it's going to be not a very different notco, but there's just going to be more different stuff. If you will. I mean, it's, it's going to be, I mean, this is, you know, Jeff and I are taking this business, you know, as very seriously. I mean, this is something we want to do and something we want to do full time. So we're trying to make, uh, make decisions to lead us down that path. So, you know, hopefully everyone likes what they see and, uh, we'll continue to check us out.

'''Myke Hurley:''' In March, let me, without giving too much away, do you have any other products or are these kind of just the new products that you're launching along with the cases and notco store?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Um, we'll have some more products. Um, I don't want to say what they are yet, but, um, we'll definitely have some more products. Boy, oh boy.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Building an empire over there, you two.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' We're trying. We're trying. I mean, we want to, we want to make this thing work. I mean, you know, it's, uh, it's, it's a dream of both of ours and we appreciate all the support that everyone's given us so far. And, uh, you know, we, um, we've been getting a lot of, uh, good feedback and want to, uh, continue making good products for everyone. And, and, um, that, that's the plan.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I have another question for you. Sure. Um, so obviously the, the Kickstarter dates have slipped right past where you, you wanted them to. Yes. I know you wanted to have everything out in January. Um, and that's taken a little bit longer because you've had to build like a, actually a huge inventory, like thousands. You had to fulfill over 2000 orders. Right. Meaning, you know, how many cases in total are you making, by the way? Do you know?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I don't have the exact number. It's around 6,000 or so.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So you've had to make 6,000 products, which is ridiculous. Um, in a, in a few months. Right. Basically. Right. Right. Um, and it's, it's just like one guy most of the time. Yeah. Yeah. Most of the time. Yeah. Um, so I can see that's how you're in this shape. If you're all going to start selling things from a storefront, you kind of can't leave people waiting for this amount of time. So how are you tackling that?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Right. It, it'll be a little bit different once we get to that point. We'll be able to plan out what we offer better and be able to space that out on our own timeframe.
