I started a pressure washing business as a teenager, then people started asking me to clean roofs. I did ok for myself, but reached a plateau. Then I realized the potential in going to roofing full time, along with gutter installation. Never in a million years did I think I'd own a roofing company, I had zero experience when I started it, but now we do 4-5 roofs a week 10 months a year. It's not cause I was smart, but because I listened to what the market was telling me and made the necessary changes.

Health food only works if you eat it constantly on a regular basis.

You can make the healthiest and freshest homemade bread with the best possible ingredients for about 4-5 bucks.

@@Kaloyan.Dimitrov Much less than that. Flour (I buy the best in my area or a local gristmill), yeast, salt, water. I'm not gluten-sensitive at all.

[@mtngrl5859]

@@angelbulldog4934 Well, that's why you make bread with the "best in the area", but it is still not gluten free. To have a gluten free product, one has to have no wheat or grain based flours. One needs to be using a nut type flower like Almond flour or cashew flour. Once one has food allergies or correctly identifies said allergies, the way they eat is quite different. Since most people are not identified correctly, they don't realize that some of their autoimmune issues are caused by food sensitivity. The popularity of certain ways of eating like the Paleo diet, have no grains, no dairy, and often people's physical ailments are " cured" by changing how they eat.

FYI, each slice has over 570mg of sodium, about 27% of daily sodium intake. For one slice, and it seems to be like 70% of the size of a normal slice of bread.

Really hate that people don't get that organic food being more expensive is just ridiculous and makes the decision to eat healthy next to impossible for most people who live paycheck to paycheck. The difference in pricing is a key factor and if the organic movement really wanted to "help" people they'd do something about the numbers. They could become NGOs, get tax credits or subsidies from government there are a million ways if it's really about helping society then put your money where your mouth is.

[@tj5163]

Unfortunately they can only help so much considering the cost to make, ship and buy organic product is way higher than non organic, which is why factories and big industry doesn’t try to keep things organic it’s hard and cost more. Obviously that price has to be passed on to the plate. Eating healthy isn’t eating just organic foods or things like their bread it’s making sure your diet is balanced with everything you personally need. Obviously the fresher and less preservatives the better a product will be but you have to just accept that it costs more to make it that way.

This guy just came off as a salesman and not an entrepreneur. He clearly likes to dominate conversations and hear himself talk, to the point his wife just smiles and nods her head. I agree they need a better business model, significantly lower the cost of CAC, lower the cost of production, and create better packaging and marketing catch phrases, then $4.2 milliion in sales projected for 2021 actually sounds impressive. And at the end, this guy will continue to lose money and drag his wife with him. He needs to shut up. LIsten to the Sharks' advice. Drop the ego.
