== Green Dot Dash Cards ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, exactly.

'''Myke Hurley:''' And you now have green, uh, dot dash cards. Okay.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' These things are, these things are great. I mean, I know this is like the whole, the full self pimp going on. I love these freaking green cards.

'''Myke Hurley:''' You gotta do it every now and then, man. You've had a busy week.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. These green cards are great. That, I, I love the Amber, which is our original. I'll never get tired of the Amber. I love this green one. It's, it's going to be, it's pretty hot. And Jeffrey designed the, um, the pack in cover for the note cards. So we have these cool little stripes on there. He does a really good job. They pop a lot more, um, than, um, than some of the other products. I kind of back to the American field stuff. The one thing that surprised me in a negative way, but it negative is a strong term, but I thought we would sell some paper goods individually on their own. We sold almost none. Um, people just saying, oh, cool notebook here. You know, like, you know, just random paper purchases. Very few, just random paper purchases. People who would buy products would also buy some paper. Sometimes we sold very little paper on its own, which I thought we actually might, especially the pocket notebooks, but no big deal. It was, that was just another one of those curiosity things that, you know, one of those takeaways from the show.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I wanted to say, like I was watching this video, I was watching this periscope and I felt so proud of you too. Well, thank you. You got a real business. Like this is no joke, you know? And this is no like, um, this is no small thing anymore. Like this is a real deal that you guys have built here. And, and I'm very proud of you both. And, but more importantly, the two of you should be very proud of yourselves, um, for everything that you've been able to accomplish in like the last 18 months. Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' It's been like, it's been almost two years since the Kickstarter closed. The Kickstarter closed like right at the end of October, two years ago.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. You, you gotta, you know, you, you just gotta be so proud of everything that you've, you've managed to do.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Well, I really appreciate that. I mean, we're working our tails off to, to get it done and to do things right, you know? And sometimes, you know, as you're building things, you know, Myke, you know, slow and steady is, is going to win the race, I think. And, you know, we're taking things not in a meticulous fashion, but in a metered fashion, um, to, you know, not getting in over our heads, which would just cause this vicious downward spiral. We're doing what we think we can accomplish while making a great product. And hopefully, you know, people will enjoy and, you know, having a good time doing it. So all those things syncing up together is while, while we're still here today, I think, you know? And why, you know, we're still just scratching the surface, which I've said a million times, there's so much, I think the future is, is really bright. Um, and I just, you know, every day that Jeff and I talk, it's always talking like, it's all like future planning stuff, right? It's, it's really good to be able to have those conversations, um, you know, about what's coming next and how are we going to do things better and how are we going to make more cool stuff for cool people?

'''Myke Hurley:''' No doubt. Do you have anything else you wanted to touch on today?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I don't think so. I think, uh, uh, my, my glass is completely drained of water. Um, and I am about on that edge of totally exploding, um, a coughing attack in, into you, into the microphone. Yeah.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So I'm going to wrap up for us.
