Hi! my name is Evan and I'm super stoked you want to learn more about me!
I show people how to build their businesses. I learn a skill, test it with my own companies and share it!
I got my start by selling CDs at 13 years old. I’ve worked as a fry cook, I’ve mowed lawns, built go-peds, managed restaurants, sold mortgages, worked in Hollywood, and sat at a desk. I’ve cold-called, done graphic design, pounded pavement, traded crypto, and worked on an ambulance.
I finally settled down and devoted my life to becoming a firefighter in my early 20’s. It took me 5 years of training, fire academies, and paramedic school to finally land that job.
I spent 8 years of my life answering 911 calls. Now I get to pursue my real passion, which is building businesses and educating.
My first successful company is called Scorch Marker.
I was building a commemorative plaque for the fire department in my woodshop and desperately wanted to burn our motto “together in, together out” into the wood. So I pulled out my wood-burning tool, plugged it into the wall, and screwed the whole thing up!
But my wife and I had found another way. We created a chemical solution that reacts with heat. We were inspired by CZcams creators! You apply the liquid to wood, apply heat, and the wood burns only where you drew! Pretty cool right? We invented the world’s first wood-burning marker - Scorch Marker.
Little did we know that this was the beginning of something big. We agreed to spend $500 of our savings to see if we could turn the idea into a product. 2 years later and we got into retail, became a bestseller on Amazon, created jobs, and made a lot of mistakes.
It’s the mistakes that are important. Those are the valuable, teachable moments that doers get to enjoy and learn from. They make you stronger.
Building, maintaining, scaling, running, or managing a business is not easy. But it can be done!
That's why I'm here. To teach what I've learned so you don't have to make the same mistakes that I did!
One of the things I feel I was put on this planet for is teaching. I absolutely love connecting with other humans who want to do what I've done, build a DTC company.
That's why I built my personal brand Vanader. I test the things I'm learning with Scorch Marker, make the mistakes, lose the money, succeed then I teach it.
It keeps me sharp, keeps me progressing and most importantly it help me make friends in the space.
Can't wait to hear from you!
Evan

I'm filling Maker's Magic. It's a flexible, paintable, clear, craft glue and sealer that my company Scorch Marker invented. We launched it 8 months ago and we are still in the beginning stages.

Cool video dude. 👍
Indeed
No BS, annoying intro music, or filler crap. Clear, clean, and professional video that gets to the point, and doesn't beg for likes and subs....you sir, earned a subscriber !!!
i second that opinion... im in too
facts!
Yeah, im subscribing too!
Yeah but the closer was sad and weak.
Couldn't have said it better myself. Also subscribed
I'm in my 50s and I'm more interested in investments that could set me up for retirement , I mean I've heard of people that netted hundreds of thousands during these crash, I listened to someone on a podcast who earned over $650K in less than a year, what's the strategy behind such returns?
You’re right! The current market might give opportunities to maximize profit within a short term, but in order to execute such strategy , you must be a skilled practitioner.
Accurate asset allocation is crucial. Some use hedging or defensive assets in their portfolio for market downturns. Seeking financial advice is vital. This approach has kept me financially secure for over five years, with a return on investment of nearly $1 million.
To be honest, I've been wary of banks for a while, but I wasn't sure how to speak with an advisor first. Please let me know who your adviser is if it's okay; I need some recommendations.
Svetlana Sarkisian Chowdhury a highly respected figure in her field. I suggest delving deeper into her credentials, as she possesses extensive experience and serves as a valuable resource for individuals seeking guidance in navigating the financial market.
Thank you for the lead. I searched her up, and I have sent her an email. I hope she gets back to me soon.
The introduction of a Bitcoin ETF marks a groundbreaking moment in the cryptocurrency world, merging digital currencies with traditional investment methods. This innovation could stabilize Bitcoin prices and broaden its appeal to a wider range of investors, potentially increasing demand and value. At the heart of this evolution is Sarah Jennie Davis, whose deep understanding of both cryptocurrency and traditional trading has been instrumental. Her holistic approach to investment and commitment to staying abreast of market trends make her an invaluable ally in navigating this new era in cryptocurrency investment
The wisest thought that is in everyone's minds today is to invest in different income flows that do not depend on the government, especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a good time to invest in gold, silver and digital currencies (BTC, ETH... Stock)
How please I'm pretty new and feel I have much to learn, I would appreciate if you show me how to go about it?
She is really a good investment advisor. I was privileged to attend some of her seminars. That is how I started my crypto investment
I have heard about her excellent trading expertise in CNBC news, guess she's more popular in United States
YES!!! That's exactly her name (Sarah Jennie Davis) so many people have
recommended highly about her and am just starting with her from Brisbane Australia
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. Success is a state of mind. I think I'm blessed because if not I wouldn't have met someone who is as spectacular as Expert Mrs Lucy Mary Liam.
I'm glad I was introduced to forex trading and got the best teacher and mentor who helped me understand the financial market I'm grateful to Mrs Liam🙏
It's a miracle and I would testify, $110,000
every 4 weeks! I now have a big mansion and can now afford anything and also support God's work and the church.
I have made more than 90K USD God bless Lucy Mary Liam God bless United Kingdom 🇬🇧
Thanks for continuing updates I'd rather trade the stock market as it's more profitable. I make an average of $34,500 per week even though I barely trade myself
Thank you Lucy Mary Liam $45,000 weekly Profit regardless of how bad it gets on the economy.
I’ve never seen a video like this before. You’re either an atypically honest and remarkably earnest and helpful individual, or you’re a hell of an actor. I’m deciding to believe the former. Congratulations on your success. I’m confident that I could not do what you do, but I can certainly learn from it, so thank you. Cheers!
He's giving up a piece of universal technology to advertise his product and to create positive image, that's neither honesty nor artistry, just good marketing.
@@nullchannnel comment edited because im an idiot.
I initially stated that it wasnt bad info, it isnt , until the course he's selling at the end pops up.
Dont trust this man.
I didnt watch until the end where hes selling courses
A deeper dive?
Shows a conviction for investment fraud.
This guy was convicted of 700000 dollar investment theft by the FBI.
He gambled it away currency trading after lying that he was a lawyer and accountant to people close to him.
@@deadprivacy so, by your logic, you're projecting or more likely radiating your inner rude asshole.
First 30 seconds: he sounds like a snake-oil-selling con man.
You're correct - Evan is one of a kind. He's a gem. Hold him tight. 🙌🏼
*What this guy shared in this video is a pure unadulterated way to set up a small yet very productive business in their own garage. If you want to pay thousands in some bogus seminar or $39.99 a month for membership to get the same info, go right ahead. Evan even gives you the type of machinery needed. God bless this man.*
He gives you the type of machinery needed because he gets money as they're referral links. Smart business man indeed ;)
@@tiemsels76 For the info yeah, go ahead collect the commission no problem. Good guy for sure.
Selling something in smaller containers at 2x or 10x the cost is not actually productive, it is just being a middleman. No different from buying potatoes and selling them in retail in small quantities.
I can do you a good deal on the Eiffel Tower if you are interested?
@@danhall76 I've got a great price on a bridge if you're willing to trade.
The Market have been suffering over the past month, with all the three indexes recording losses in recent weeks. My $400,000 portfolio is down by approximately 20%, any recommendations to scale up my returns before retirement will be highly appreciated.
Simply put, if you’re not investing in dividend stocks, you’re doing it wrong.
I agree just reached my goal of $500k monthly trade earnings. Setting realistic goals is an essential part of trading
That's impressive, have you always had guidance?
How can I participate in this? I sincerely aspire to establish a secure financlal future and am eager to participate. Who is the driving force behind your success?
One of the fiduciaries I deal with is Jennifer Lea Jenson. Just check the name. There would be a letter with the necessary information to set up an appointment.
Wow, what a unique video
Can’t tell you how much I appreciate the walk-through of the process and the equipment.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a video that show you how to launch a product start to finish like this in six minutes.
Awesome tutorial. Your simple teaching skills and sincerity will make this channel one of the best for anyone will to roll up their sleeves and go to work for themselves.
You did the best thing you could ever do... Starting you glue business in your garage and doing it yourself. Now you know your product inside and out.. If something goes wrong with your co-packer, you have the knowledge of being able to do this yourself, o you will be able to supply your customers and not lose any accounts. I have seen people go straight to a co-packer without knowing their products etc, and their co-packer goes under, or decides not to make their product and now, the people have lost all their sales, and customers etc. Keep up the good work! Love it!
This is one of the very best "How To" videos I have seen anywhere! Straight to the point and includes all the basics as briefly as possible. THANKS!
I come from industrial automation background years ago retired now. I have always been an entrepreneur at heart. You are inspirational . Blessings Evan 🙌🏼
This is one of the most positive and uplifting videos! I don’t have anything to manufacture yet but this is truly inspiring! I’m subscribing just for that!
A crash and bullish market provides equal high-yield potential, it's all about information and strategy application, I've seen folks make huge 7figure profit in a crashing market and pull it off much easily in a bull market Unequivocally the crash/recession is getting somebody somewhere rich.
On occasion you can beat the market with blind luck, but I wouldn't depend on it. Having a science background there is a saying, 'Luck favors the informed', I've found it to be true, allowed me in great part to retire early
No doubt, having the right plan is invaluable, my portfolio is well-matched for every season of the market and recently hit 100% rise from early last year. I and my CFP are working on a 7 figure ballpark goal, tho this could take till Q3 2024.
Impressive! How can I contact this advisor? My portfolio has underperformed, and I need guidance.
ANGELA LYNN SCHILLING' is her name. She is regarded as a genius in her area and works for Empower Financial Services. She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
Thank you for this tip. It was easy to find your coach. Did my due diligence on her before scheduling a phone call with her. She seems proficient considering her resume.
This video is a hige inspiration. I dont have my own business but the advice and information you've shared here is something anybody can learn from. Thank you for taking the time and effort to put together such a gem for us, i look forward to seeing your content!
WOW! I'm so amazed at your willingness to show your begin to end process!. I'm inspired. God bless you brother!
Brilliant. Thank you for sharing. No one needs to do what you have just done. Too generous and full of heart. Thank you
You are bubbling with energy and child like curiosity. Ii's infective and inspiring. Not a trace of fatigue in your presentation after so much hardwork these years. Congrats. Keep going strong. It makes me more stronger at my 63
You’re very articulate and passionate may see your bubbly, personality and your intellect.
This is awesome
This is perhaps the most NO NONSENSE informative instructional video that I've watched in the longest time that is fully transparent in every aspect and contains zero get rich quick schemes.
I was recommended this from CZcams when I have no plans on doing anything similar; but let me add that, this was seriously cool. Seeing the step by step process from start to finish was very insightful from someone with no experience within this particular kind of business.
Same here lol! But love watching his videos.
Thanks Evan, that was an amazing look into the world of somebody in order to encourage people to work for themselves.
Awesome example of a hard working and smart American family business. More power to you.
You nailed it. We always feel alone on this journey. Your videos are much appreciated. Thanks for sharing.
Nice work! Love what you and your wife have done to succeed and the work you’ve put in together. Continued blessings to you and your family!
I love your entrepreneurial spirit. We need a lot more of this. I manufacture at home. My biggest digital economy disappointment stemmed from my hope that people would use a search engine to find small e-commerce websites and order directly from them, but e-commerce went the other way where there are a few large online distributors that are more efficient than brick and mortar retail but not as efficient as manufacturer-to-consumer sales.
Thanks so much, I really appreciate your Work. Above all there was no music in the background ( I love music but not when someone is talking or teaching) you were so clear, straight to the point and motivating
Love from Kampala Uganda ❤
This video says more about your entrepreneurial spirit, work ethic and sheer will to succed more than it does about your products!
Well done.
I love how transparent your biz is. I'm also a maker and struggling to find that perfect growth method. I appreciate this.
Glad it was helpful! no method will be perfect as you know. whatever you focus on will grow :)
@@Vanader sis yu know your recording is actually backwards no words are easily readible .
@@kaboom-zf2bl you are correct. i can fix that next time
@@Vanaderbars,
Thanks Evan!
There is no "perfect growth method" but honestly you're kind of already doing something by interacting with videos like this and social media posts of creators in your niche. This associates your account with other accounts in the niche and increases your chances of your content being shown to people who will like your brand and products.
If you made more social media posts focusing on the crafting/diy niche while interacting with accounts, you can train the algorithms to show you to the right people and increase your conversion. Instagram likes posts daily or almost daily, CZcams likes weekly uploads. I tell my marketing clients to make 20-30 social media interactions a day on specific creators in the niche per platform (some big, some medium, some small). This could be liking a post, commenting, etc. Like, if I were to break it down, in a month the full marketing load would be producing 4 CZcams videos and 20 Instagram posts a month (Carousels that tell a story do the best, then reels, then single image posts), with the intention of directing viewers to your Esty shop, or something like a free e-book download where you can capture their email and use email marketing to encourage the sale (I think you can also just do that with Etys' tools)
When it comes to etsy, I find their SEO is really easy to game. Just find your top competitors selling similar items on the top of related search terms, read their description and try and think about the specific keywords they might be targeting in search, and write your descriptions to include those same keywords. I've gotten a few listings on the front page of relatively hot search terms by doing this. Just don't copy/paste it, try and reverse engineer the keyword research they already did.
Good luck, and because youtube is dumb, you'll probably never see this comment.
Very impressive. I’m 67 and I’ve thrashed around my entire life looking for something that I could make, sell, resell etc. I like your approach and it’s obviously worked for you. I subscribed so I’m looking forward to future videos.
Have you not found anything, or were you reluctant to dive in to anything you found?
It’s a scam dude😂
@@reiniergarcia Why would U say that? It's pretty obvious he's not.
That's funny my whole life. I have invented things for business. But I didn't make one yet. I have a list of options for us, Dave, if you can do the business side. Some are bigger than a garage business, however, so there are options.
@@Donetravlin CZcams just now letting me know there are comments on my posts. I’ve always been open to just about any possibility, except the strip club in Charleston, WV a guy I worked with wanted me to go partners. I can handle the business side but I do have some limitations. I’ve got prostate cancer and kidney disease so I’m not sure how many more days, weeks, months or years I’ll have on this earth.
Thanks Evan for taking the time and creating this awesome video. It just shows the potential what is out there, and stepping stones to get you to your goals.❤
Really inspirational! I don't make anything or market either, but I watched just to see what you were doing. I'm impressed that you've found at least two products that have a demand and that you could produce. Thanks for showing it.
Youre easy to listen to, easy to watch even tho i dont manufacture anything. I love this video. Perfect mix of chill and excitement
I came here to say this!
Thank you for this video! I do something similar manufacturing a musical instrument in my garage. I truly believe this is the way of the future for so many of us inventors. It saves so much money to not have to rent a shop somewhere.
Incredibly amazing what you have accomplished, it’s the American dream come true. Hats off to your ingenuity, I retired from a major jelly manufacturing company (JMS) and all the machines you used I am totally familiar with.
All it takes is an idea and a need for the idea. Congratulations
Love your honesty and the way you share in order for others to be succesful, also you have a very professional calming but firm voice
I've been self employed for a decade plus, and am currently making a product for almost 4 years now, and it is almost %100 (I have the stickers made for me) made by hand, by me alone. I would love to be able to make more units to keep up with demand, but I'm handicapped by my inability to accept outside help, mainly because I feel no one can meet my strict guidelines for quality and detail. I wish I could find a reliable source to at least make some of my parts, to spec, and then I could build more units. You have a simple product with a great production setup, which is every entrepreneurs dream. Great job!
Hey brother, Thank you so much for sharing, and I am now super excited to start something I have been putting off for years. Your video inspired me, and I can't thank you enough. Keep up your excellent work. 🙌🏽
Outstanding, Evan! Good to meet you and I am glad you have used your innovation and creativity to develop a business for your family.
Wish there were more people like you in this crazy world. Thank you SO much!
I always appreciate people sharing "detailed" info on their channel without all the extra fillers! So worth the Subscribe button! Thanks.
@@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist- what does that have to do with commerce?
@@MrjackieGNothing, so I reported it as spam. 😁
Nice to meet you Evan. So glad to hear your story, I hope you continue to have much success
Although I am not planning on selling anything online, your description drew me to this video and I was quite amazed. Not only do you have an amazing speaking voice which is pleasant to listen to, your no bs approach was a win-win. Subscribed.
This is exactely the right recipe when you start. My wife and I took this road in fashion jewelry. Wish you huge success.
I greatly appreciate your efforts in this, I've seen several iterations of your video, and I've been through many of the same struggles, I just make a very different suite of products, and you're working at the same scale I am. It's good to see how other industries do the same thing.
This is SO cool! Home manufacturing is the next big thing for many of us. I've been 3d printing for a few years now & just bought a laser engraver. I dream of having a small scale manufacturing business in my home. Great work!
Keep strokin tip and you will get there buddy, don't worry about a ting
I see this guy going crazy and hunting people with an axe
@@Chris-hw4mq Troll! Troll is obvious!
Just an idea...custom poker chip sets?
Good luck. Remember to grind and NOT do everything your customers ask request recommend. Just replicate what works
Thank you Evan. Clear, concise and to the point. Great working discipline. Have a prosperous year!
This has inspired me. I've already began my research for creating a product and see how feasible it is and that's without sourcing from bulk suppliers.
Thank you for posting, I had no idea such equipment could be purchased for such reasonable prices. Seems like I could easily get my operation up and running for less than $1000.
One of the best small biz videos I have seen. Evan is a credit to all who just want to start a small business.
Thanks for sharing how your business works with this type of set up.😊👍
Thank you for the video Evan. It gives us the insight to do it ourselves!! Blessings!!
This is awesome - way to go! Good to see someone that comes across as humble and grateful winning. I have been working in manufacturing as an engineer, then manager, director, etc... for over 30 years now and at the moment. Back in 2019 I thought of going out on my own to consult, started building a few relationships and opportunities and finally pulled the trigger - about 5 months before KO-Vid hit!!! I got wiped out! No work, no sales, no place to get hired cause no one was even open... it sucked.
So now I am back in the grind and there is no end in sight so I have been thinking of doing something, CNC milling, design a product, something. I have been researching lately for good ideas, opportunities, etc... I do not do too much on line stuff other than watch videos, I do not have social medias other than YT, etc... that stuff makes me a bit uncomfortable. Anyway I am hoping to do something and you probably know the saying "luck favors the prepared". I am very glad to have found your channel.
Thanks you sharing that my friend. I’m glad you’re here
@@Vanader Any thoughts on what is the most important machine (CNC mill vs lathe vs laser engraver/cutter/other???) that you sell the most work on? In other words if I could only afford one machine would you say to get the CNC Mill or a laser engraving machine or something else?
As a fellow business person, I love to see ambition like this. Mine is mostly service based, but with a few products I offer other restorers. It appears you are great at marketing.
you are also broke
Really well produced. Hit all the needed points without wasting time. Now I want to build a garage system. Now I need a product to sell! (I have some ideas...) Thank you!
Thanks for sharing! Manufacturing on a small scale seems relatively rare these days, but I can't think of a better time to set up a small factory. In the process of doing that now. This was super interesting to watch.
So inspiring! I want to start a small business myself, and this gives me hope!
I must say, this is one of the best videos on CZcams. It just showed up in my feed. My ‘algorithm’ is not something that would typically show this. I am into DJ culture, video games and cars. Imagine that. Not sure why I was chosen but grateful to say the least. Your genuine and honest manner radiates. Congratulations on your succeed and you’re truly an inspiration. Thank you for the video.

If you are not in the financial market space right now, you are making a big mistake.I realize that it could be due to inexperience, but if you want to make your finances work for you, prevent inflation from eroding your savings, build generational wealth, and cultivate good habits and financial knowledge, you must be in the market.
The wisest thought that is in everyone's minds today is to invest in different income flows that do not depend on the government, especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a good time to invest in gold, silver and digital currencies (BTC, ETH... Stock)
I have always wanted to trade crypto since 2019 but was scared due to its volatility, I think now I want to give it a try but don't know how to go about it.
Same here all thanks to Mrs Cora James, she has always been there to guide me through with detailed analysis and recommendations that I wouldn't have access to otherwise.

Holy cow! It took me a loooooong time to learn all of this. This guy just crammed all the legit knowledge down our throats. Fantastic and thank you for sharing.
Yo! The drill press mixer is genius. I've never seen anyone do that!

Good job Evan, I like to see how you proceed and happy to see that you're getting success with your videos ! 💪
Great stuff. I have a friend who runs a small garage business, I've often considered doing something similar. Great job setting all that up, I'm glad it's worked out for you. Hard work definitely pays off!
Evan this was fantastic! With the loss of manufacturing in USA, even straightforward, packaging arts have fallen by the wayside. So it’s great to have you sharing on these processes. The end of your video, I could see you being onto something where in this channel becomes of support for Small Business, fabrication and packaging, technology and processes . I mean, yes, there are courses on how to set up with Amazon, but an actual operators lessons learned and tutorial I think, would be both fantastic in superior. Want to cover the business side with taxes and liability in those kinds of things. And then, of course, the manufacturing aspect, Warren may be others that have different types of products that are produced could share their processes all the while, not revealing their secret sauce, that invites unscrupulous copycats .
I love what you did with this and look forward to more! Got You both a thumbs up, and a subscription :-)
Thanks for the words my friend. It means a lot. You nailed it at the end there.
I want to do meaningful work with meaningful people
Accumulating wealth and securing financial freedom isn't as difficult as many people think. With the correct information, building wealth and ensuring lasting financial stability become much more attainable. Engaging in financial programs and utilizing appropriate financial products is often the genuine route to achieving a substantial income and maintaining affluence over the long term.
Given you seeming success in this, I'd like to know who financial expert you already work with or believe would be the most beneficial to collaborate with. This is a truly fantastic video.
Professionals in the financial field, like John Desmond Heppolette, often provide a rich reservoir of expertise and experience. They assist clients in crafting and executing sound financial strategies that align with their specific needs and goals. Recognising the importance of seeking expert advice, especially in areas such as investment management and risk mitigation, is crucial for individuals.
John Desmond Heppolette indeed showcases substantial knowledge in this field. Following a comprehensive Google search using his full name, I thoroughly examined his webpage, encompassing his resume and qualifications, which proved to be truly impressive. Taking the proactive step, I left him a note and scheduled a call session to further discuss matters.
My Retirement investments have prospered because of Sir John Desmond Heppolette's supervision. But it's important to remember that the quantity of capital invested ultimately determines rewards. A large start-up cost increases the likelihood of bigger returns.

Nice work, Evan. This brings me right back to the "bolt kit packing parties" that my buddies and I used to have when I started my first company. Listening to the arc of your company from self produced to how the relationship with your production suppler developed brings back fond memories. It went pretty much the same way for us as well.
We are a small scale manufacturing in the UK for a little over 3 years now and today we visited our first Contract Packaging Solution provider. Loving the videos dude, cant wait to see more.... Biggest risk to our business is too dependent on Amazon!
I feel that
amazon isn’t going anywhere, that said branch out to ebay, wish etc.
Amazon will see your success, bleed you or pirate your product and make it themselves. If you don’t play ball they will hide your product in the customer searches. They’ve been prosecuted for it.
Thanks @@tbyoda9475 we already have woocommerce website, Etsy and eBay stores and do a small amount of wholesale but 90+ % of orders come from Amazon, it may not be going anywhere but its hard to get orders elsewhere
Amazon has also been known to competes with theirs retailers. Can't be trusted to operate fairly.
I must say, you spelled out the path to success brilliantly. Figure it out and get it done! It also appears that you naturally possess determination and the ability to find joy in what you do. Well done sir!! I started in my garage a dozen years ago. It took a year to outgrow my garage manufacturing facility of home built machinery. We're now in a million dollar facility we built about three years ago. Through all the ups and downs three things remain- determination, joy and a commitment to figuring it out and getting it done. I just subscribed and I'm looking forward to following your journey. Thanks for choosing to inspire!
Wow this was just so straight to the point with no filler. Ended up being a incredible ad.
Evan, that was a great video. You provided a great description of how you got started and you didn’t try to sell a class! Super motivating, thank you! I’m subscribing!
This is an eye opener! I would want to make this a set up but for a food setting
its a little different with food. There are some additional regulations. But it's possible! I know people that have succeeded there. You can too.
This is awesome! My husband and I have a watercolor palette and paint making business in our apartment. Right now we just sell on Etsy, but originally he was selling one item on Amazon. We loved watching your video because as you can imagine everything is done by hand and it can be very arduous. We appreciate seeing that there are other options!
I heard etsy takes a significant cut. Are the margins better than amazon?
Great video. Really highlights the importance of reducing the time-to-market. Im sure getting that feedback on the product before the manufacturer starts churning out tens of thousands of units was priceless.

…and probably the absolutely best marketing I‘ve seen for a long time. (…and yes, I think I will try your product 😊)
Do you know..Bitcoin is on its way to breaking records, getting closer to hitting new high prices, showing that it's gaining more value and could go even higher than we've seen before. This could mean great things for people looking to invest, suggesting now might be a good time to get involved before it jumps even higher. It's an exciting moment that could change the game in general...managed to grow a nest egg of around 1.2Biitcoin to a decent 6.4Biitcoin. At the heart of this evolution is indeko Glenn, whose deep understanding of both cryptocurrency and traditional trading has been instrumental. Her holistic approach to investment and commitment to staying abreast of market trends make her an invaluable ally in navigating this new era in cryptocurrency investment....
Bitcoin is moving crazy these few days but if you are smart then you should know the best thing to do is exchange especially with the right guidance.
Mind if I ask you to recommend this particular professional you use their service?
Find her online with her name.
Okay I will google her, thank you
I have seen so many recommendations about indeko glenn, her strategy must be good for people to talk about her…
HUGE thumbs up to your wife for being so cool about it, not to mention being active part of the process ! Best of luck to both of you !
Great job. Nothing worth while comes easy! Perseverance pays off! 💪🏻
Just an inspiration to see someone use their abilities to help themselves and be creative. Nice video.
Hey kid, great video. I’m proud of you and all you have accomplished over the last few years! Pops.
For me your line, "how lonely I am..." hit home. So true. As a successful entrepreneur who retired in my 40's I understand how lonely one can feel when you are not part of an organization. Pickleball has been my saving grace and contemplating jumping back into the working world as a way to reconnect with like minded business entrepreneurs in the near future.
If you don’t mind me asking, what did you build that allowed you to retire by 40?
Hi William, want to be respectful to Evan and his channel. Short story is I "green field" developed and constructed 25+ utility-scale solar farms over a 8 year window. Long story is learned if you have a high-value and viable product to sell there are plenty of investors and buyers willing to pay good money. @@williamgarcia1995
I loved the video! Very informative with a friendly tone, this video gives me ideas for my future endeavours.
Wow.... I've been looking for this video for months. THANK YOU for such incredible, selfless info!!
That liquid burn pen thingy is dope. So fast looking. Is it the liquid that burns and in turn burns the wood? I'm confused and amazed by that. Also, the garage set up is sweet. You're living the dream man.
It's great that you shared this. Consider opening a second garage and automating your production with robots. Keep the process in your hands rather than outsourcing. You can maintain the same hands-on approach as in your mom's garage but with the efficiency of automation. Just a thought. Your work is impressive and serves as inspiration to many.
Really great video thank you. This is the entrepreneurial spirit that north america needs right now. Thanks for packing so much value into a 6 minute video! Scorch Marker looks like a really great idea too!
I watched the entire video. I felt like I was watching “How It’s Made”. Very well done. I also like that you’re not gatekeeping.
That was cool. This video touched on much more than lids and labels. tHanks for the great editing and most importantly the invitation to a good life at the end.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I hope many more get a chance to see it@@Vanader
This was absolutely awesome to watch. You are one resourceful guy. So awesome to see how a business like yours scales up.
I never thought I'd say this about a content creator, but he just seems like a decent guy letting you know how he got started and what it takes to get your product off the ground. Nice!
wow thats amazing ! Thanks for sharing how you have made it happen 🙏😀😀
Whenever i hear about such businesses, it makes me wish i could think of something to produce at home
