== Theme System Journal ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' I wanted to give a couple of updates on the Theme System Journal.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It's currently in stock. It will not be in stock for very long. We are 87% sold out of our 10x restock. So we saw...

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, you had a waiting list. There was a waiting list built from the last time. So everyone's transitioning through that. Everyone that was on the list got the notification. And I'm sure 90% of those people purchased. So it's going. Yeah.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It blew up for a couple of days. It was pretty wild.

'''Myke Hurley:''' At some point in the future, I'm going to share more about numbers. But there is one number that I'll give you, Brad, which is just kind of fun. Because my contacts at Cotton Bureau were very excited. But for the first couple of hours, we were selling 30 a minute. Oh, nice. Which was wild.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I'm sure they were. I'm sure... I don't know if they probably... It maybe wasn't on their radar that morning before it went live. Then they probably had to go... Oh, no. They knew. I didn't know.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I just said to them, put it up once you've checked them. They put it up. And then a couple of hours later, I got a bunch of messages from my contact there. And they were like, oh, it's going crazy. Good. I'm so excited for you. There's a very small amount left. And there will be probably no more stock until the end of the year. Because it basically has... It's like the best worst case scenario that there can be. Which is that we sold them. But I think I've mentioned this on the show before. Like, I now just have no stock again. And then have to go through this process again of reordering them. And then waiting for months for them to come in. So, I'm still trying to judge demand. And it's very complicated. And it's just like I'm weighing over my head about this kind of stuff. But I'm trying to learn as I go along. And I'm lucky to work with talented people who can help guide me through this process.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. Round three, you will actually have stock. That's pretty much how it rolls. Yeah. Especially because we're going to... You'll have to a stock point.

'''Myke Hurley:''' We're going to order more again. So... Right. We're going to make another multiple change. This won't be 10x this time. Maybe it'll be like two times the amount. Because I want to keep stock for like a few months. So I can actually work on an updated version. Right? So I want to try that out. And also, the themesystem.com now exists as a place. Oh, good. Where you can go and get instructions about how to use the journal. And I'm hoping to... Once... What I would love you to do, Brad, at some point is once you've kind of taken in my instructions and started working on it, I would love some example photos to post on our website. Okay.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Because that's what I've been waiting for. I was going to ask you, but I didn't know if I was allowed to ask you. So make sure that goes into the show notes. Yep. The themesystem.com.

'''Myke Hurley:''' That's the place that you can go now. Cool. Cool. I'm ready. I've been waiting.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I've been holding off until that point. So now I'll be ready to get into it.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Perfect. Perfect. Hey, real quick before we hit our first sponsor. I forgot to mention in our backer vlog section, I am still shipping the Burton pin cases. We're shipped through order 450, which that's about halfway through. So a few more weeks and we'll have them all out there. But I can ship in pretty big batches these days. So I'll probably have another 100, 150 out this weekend, something like that. So just a quick update I forgot to mention.
