1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
All right, get ready because today we are taking a deep dive into the story of Davey Fogarty.

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:06,000
Davey Fogarty.

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:07,000
And his crazy journey.

4
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:08,000
Absolutely.

5
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,000
From a $500 investment.

6
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:11,000
Yeah.

7
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,000
To a half a billion dollar empire.

8
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:14,000
Empire, that's it.

9
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:15,000
Yeah.

10
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:16,000
Half a billion.

11
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Davey's YouTube video, how I went from $500 to half a billion in five years lays it all out.

12
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:25,000
It's all there.

13
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,000
The highs and lows, the failed ventures.

14
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:28,000
Oh yeah, son.

15
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:29,000
Family ultimatum.

16
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:30,000
Ultimatum.

17
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,000
Ultimatum's had those.

18
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,000
Even a run in with the Australian federal police.

19
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,000
Yeah, I don't want to mess with them.

20
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:42,000
But what I think is so fascinating is how he went from this insecure kid in Adelaide to

21
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,000
this entrepreneurial powerhouse in just five years.

22
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,000
Five years.

23
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,000
It's incredible.

24
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,000
It's not just about the money though, is it?

25
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,000
No.

26
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,560
Davey's story really highlights how much power there is in self-delief and how our early

27
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,280
experiences shape us.

28
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:57,280
Right.

29
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,400
And it's just so much more pudgy.

30
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:00,400
I hate that word.

31
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:01,400
Yeah, I know.

32
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:02,400
Like who even says that anymore?

33
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,000
Well, it sounds like that's what he heard.

34
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,000
Yeah, yeah.

35
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,520
And being told he was stupid growing up.

36
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:07,520
Oh wow.

37
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,280
These weren't just like little comments.

38
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,280
They stuck with him.

39
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,720
And influenced his drive to prove everybody wrong.

40
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,280
It's like they became this fuel.

41
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:16,920
Yeah, exactly fuel.

42
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:21,160
What's inspiring to me is that he took these negative experiences and turned them into

43
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:22,600
fuel for success.

44
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:23,600
Totally.

45
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,400
And this, he finds inspiration not in textbooks.

46
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:28,400
No.

47
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,720
Not from some big business guru.

48
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:31,720
Right.

49
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,120
But from Nike commercials.

50
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:34,120
Nike.

51
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:35,120
Huh.

52
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:36,120
This is not wild.

53
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:37,720
He talks about how Michael Jordan's words.

54
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:38,720
On all of the go.

55
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,080
About failure being a stepping stone to greatness.

56
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,200
I love that quote.

57
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:44,400
Really resonated with him.

58
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:45,400
Yeah, that's great.

59
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:51,480
And it's such a powerful reminder that inspiration can literally come from anywhere.

60
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:52,480
Absolutely.

61
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:53,480
Even a shoe ad.

62
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:54,480
Yeah.

63
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,360
It's a valuable lesson for all of us, honestly.

64
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:57,960
We put these limits on ourselves.

65
00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:58,960
We do.

66
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,960
Thinking that inspiration has to come from specific sources or people.

67
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:02,960
Oh, I know.

68
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:03,960
I'm guilty of that.

69
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,440
But, you know, think about it.

70
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,600
What are some of the things that have inspired you?

71
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,640
Ooh, that's a good question.

72
00:02:09,640 --> 00:02:10,640
Maybe a song.

73
00:02:10,640 --> 00:02:11,640
Ooh, yeah.

74
00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:12,800
Music's a big one.

75
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,760
Or a quote from a movie.

76
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:15,760
A movie.

77
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,600
Or even like a conversation with someone you didn't know.

78
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,200
You never know where that spark's going to come from.

79
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:23,200
Exactly.

80
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,400
It's about keeping an open mind.

81
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,160
Being receptive to those little sparks of motivation.

82
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:30,160
Totally.

83
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:36,080
And then there's how Davy's story shows the power of small, consistent actions.

84
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:37,080
Small actions.

85
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,760
He starts out, you know, with these minimum wage jobs.

86
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:40,920
Like everyone does.

87
00:02:40,920 --> 00:02:44,080
Moving boxes in a warehouse.

88
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,080
Backbreaking.

89
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,240
But he uses that money to invest in himself.

90
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:48,240
Smart.

91
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:49,520
He gets a gym membership.

92
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:50,520
Good for him.

93
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:51,520
And a tutor.

94
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:52,520
Wow.

95
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:53,520
He's so serious.

96
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:54,520
Yeah.

97
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,360
And it's like he just intuitively understood this principle of compounded growth.

98
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:58,360
Right.

99
00:02:58,360 --> 00:02:59,360
Even back then.

100
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:00,360
Even back then.

101
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:01,360
Fascinating how some people get that, isn't it?

102
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:02,360
It is.

103
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:03,360
It's not like these massive leaps.

104
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:04,360
Right.

105
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,320
It's just about those consistent little steps that build on each other.

106
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:09,320
Exactly.

107
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:10,520
It applies to so many things.

108
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:11,520
Oh, I know.

109
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:12,520
Learning a new skill.

110
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:13,520
Mm-hmm.

111
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:14,520
Starting a business.

112
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:15,520
Yeah.

113
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:16,520
Even getting in shape.

114
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:17,520
Yeah.

115
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:18,520
It's universal.

116
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:19,520
It is.

117
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,520
So he takes this invest in yourself thing even further.

118
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:22,520
Oh.

119
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,920
And enrolls in mining engineering at university.

120
00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:26,920
Mining engineering.

121
00:03:26,920 --> 00:03:27,920
I know, right?

122
00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:28,920
That's right.

123
00:03:28,920 --> 00:03:29,920
But here's the kicker.

124
00:03:29,920 --> 00:03:30,920
No.

125
00:03:30,920 --> 00:03:31,920
He hates it.

126
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:32,920
Oh, no.

127
00:03:32,920 --> 00:03:33,920
I know.

128
00:03:33,920 --> 00:03:34,920
I think a lot of people feel that.

129
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:35,920
Do you?

130
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:36,920
Yeah.

131
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:37,920
Choosing a path.

132
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:38,920
Yeah.

133
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:39,920
Based on money or what other people expect.

134
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:40,920
Uh-huh.

135
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:41,920
Only to realize that.

136
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:42,920
It's just not for you.

137
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:43,920
Yeah, it's tough.

138
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:44,920
It is.

139
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:45,920
But he doesn't just sit around complaining.

140
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:46,920
No, he doesn't.

141
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:47,920
He's what does he do?

142
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:48,920
He starts a side hustle.

143
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:49,920
A side hustle.

144
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:50,920
Nice.

145
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:51,920
No way.

146
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,320
He's juggling all this.

147
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:54,320
I know.

148
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:55,420
So what's the side hustle?

149
00:03:55,420 --> 00:03:58,120
He jumps into the world of Instagram.

150
00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,120
Instagram.

151
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:00,120
Reviewing supplements.

152
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:01,120
Good weekends, okay.

153
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:02,620
Selling shout outs.

154
00:04:02,620 --> 00:04:04,120
Even flipping accounts.

155
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:05,120
Wow.

156
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:06,120
He was really hustling.

157
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:07,920
He was a resourceful entrepreneur in the making.

158
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:09,320
Classic, classic trial and error.

159
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:10,320
Yeah, you got it.

160
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:11,320
Testing different things out.

161
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:12,320
Uh-huh.

162
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:13,320
Learning as he goes.

163
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:14,320
Exactly.

164
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:15,320
Building his skills.

165
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:16,320
That's Davey.

166
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:17,320
That period's so crucial.

167
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:18,320
It is.

168
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:19,320
It lays the foundation.

169
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:20,320
It really does.

170
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:21,320
It's the foundation that comes later.

171
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:25,320
And don't forget, he's juggling university and those warehouse jobs.

172
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:26,320
This guy's a machine.

173
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,120
This guy is a hustler.

174
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:29,120
Total hustler.

175
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,480
But then just as things start looking up.

176
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:32,480
What happens?

177
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,320
He gets hit with a major setback.

178
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:35,320
A setback, right?

179
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:36,320
He loses $40,000.

180
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:37,320
$40,000.

181
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,920
He plays in an Instagram scam.

182
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:40,920
Ouch.

183
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:41,920
That's gotta hurt.

184
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:42,920
Evestating, right?

185
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:43,920
Yeah, especially when you're just starting out.

186
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:44,920
Exactly.

187
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,320
It'd be so easy to just give up.

188
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:47,320
Oh, yeah.

189
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,880
What's striking about Davey is his resilience.

190
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:51,880
Resilience.

191
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:52,880
That's the word.

192
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:53,880
He doesn't let this define him.

193
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:54,880
He doesn't.

194
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,040
He bounces back.

195
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,960
And his family is crucial in helping him do that.

196
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:00,080
It's so important.

197
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,920
He talks about how their support was a lifeline.

198
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:03,920
I know.

199
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:05,080
Dying that difficult time.

200
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:06,600
Support systems are everything.

201
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:07,600
They are.

202
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,280
Who in his family was especially helpful.

203
00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:12,560
His dad gave him this really great advice.

204
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:13,560
What was it?

205
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,400
Davey, to imagine carrying a rock in his shoe.

206
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:18,520
A rock in his shoe.

207
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,760
Representing that $40,000 loss.

208
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:21,920
Okay, I get it.

209
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,880
And he asked Davey, would you keep walking?

210
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:27,240
With a rock in your shoe.

211
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:28,440
With that rock in your shoe?

212
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:29,440
The weight.

213
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:30,440
Or would you take it out?

214
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:31,440
Of course you'd take it out.

215
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:32,720
It's such a good reminder.

216
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:33,720
It is.

217
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,720
That holding on to past mistakes will only hold you back.

218
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:38,720
Absolutely.

219
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:39,720
Powerful analogy.

220
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,120
So simple, yet so profound.

221
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:44,120
It really is.

222
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,400
Makes you think about your own rocks in the shoe.

223
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:47,400
Doesn't it?

224
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:48,400
Things we dwell on.

225
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:49,600
Oh yeah, we all have them.

226
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,640
But we have a choice, just like Davey, to move forward.

227
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,640
So after this, Davey decides to make a change.

228
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:56,640
Okay.

229
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:57,640
And moves to Melbourne.

230
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,640
Melbourne, new start.

231
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,400
A fresh start, exactly.

232
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:02,400
What's he do there?

233
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:03,400
He lands a job.

234
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:04,400
A job, okay.

235
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:05,400
At Fifth Watches.

236
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,080
Fifth Watches, a watch company.

237
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:08,400
Yeah, a watch company.

238
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:09,400
Nice.

239
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:10,400
And he just immerses himself.

240
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:11,400
He immerses himself.

241
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:12,400
In all things e-commerce.

242
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:13,400
Smart.

243
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,400
He becomes like this jack of all trades.

244
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:16,400
Wow.

245
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:17,400
Histography.

246
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:18,400
Videography.

247
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,040
That's got skills.

248
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:21,040
Digital marketing.

249
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,040
Wow.

250
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,920
This guy just had this hunger to learn.

251
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,120
He's not just passively learning though, is he?

252
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:27,120
No.

253
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:28,320
He's actively applying it.

254
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:29,320
Yeah.

255
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:30,320
Experimenting.

256
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:31,520
That's how you really learn.

257
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,680
And that leads him to his big idea.

258
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:34,680
The big one, okay.

259
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:35,680
Calming blankets.

260
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:36,680
Calming blankets.

261
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:37,680
I've heard of those.

262
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,320
He comes across this article about weighted blankets.

263
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:41,320
Weighted blankets, yes.

264
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,200
Insomnia and sensory disorders.

265
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:44,200
Interesting.

266
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,200
And he realizes there's a gap in the market.

267
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:47,200
A gap, okay.

268
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,600
He literally tests the idea out by piling blankets on himself.

269
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:51,600
Uh-huh.

270
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:52,600
I could just imagine that.

271
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:53,600
Right.

272
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:54,600
That's great.

273
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:55,600
So he's got his idea.

274
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:56,600
The idea.

275
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,080
But he's only got $500 to his name.

276
00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:59,080
$500, that's it?

277
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:00,080
That's it.

278
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,080
So what does he do?

279
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,920
This is where his experience hustling on Instagram comes in.

280
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:04,920
Okay.

281
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,920
He uses a strategy called pre-selling.

282
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:07,920
Pre-selling.

283
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:08,920
Smart.

284
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,320
You know what that is, right?

285
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:11,320
Yeah.

286
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:12,320
You take orders.

287
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:13,320
Yep.

288
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,320
And get paid before the product is even made.

289
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:16,320
Exactly.

290
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,880
Smart for startups with limited capital.

291
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:19,880
Very smart.

292
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:20,880
Minimizes the risk.

293
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:21,880
It does.

294
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,680
You validate the idea before investing a ton.

295
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:24,880
So clever.

296
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,560
But I mean, come on.

297
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:27,560
What?

298
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,840
No entrepreneurial journeys without its bumps in the road.

299
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:30,840
That's the truth.

300
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:31,840
What happens to Davey?

301
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:32,840
Davey's first shipment.

302
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:33,840
His first shipment.

303
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,560
Gets held up by Australian customs.

304
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,240
And then he has this near disaster.

305
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,520
When the Australian federal police get involved.

306
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:42,520
You're kidding?

307
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:43,520
I know.

308
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:44,520
Crazy, right?

309
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:45,520
Wow, that's stressful.

310
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,160
But he stays calm under pressure.

311
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:48,160
He does.

312
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:49,160
Yeah, he finds solutions.

313
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:50,160
Impressive.

314
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:51,840
It's amazing he didn't just give up.

315
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:52,840
For real.

316
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,560
This whole thing could have derailed everything.

317
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:55,560
I know, that's a thing.

318
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:56,560
But he handles it.

319
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:57,560
So the shipment clears.

320
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:58,560
Duh.

321
00:07:58,560 --> 00:07:59,560
He's officially in business.

322
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:00,560
Davey's in business.

323
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:01,560
His first day.

324
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:02,560
First day.

325
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:03,560
He makes $200.

326
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:04,560
$200, not bad.

327
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:05,560
Not a fortune.

328
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:06,560
Not yet.

329
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:07,720
But it's the start of something much bigger.

330
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:08,720
I bet it is.

331
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:09,720
$200.

332
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:10,720
That's $200, the first step.

333
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:11,720
The first step.

334
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,240
Toward a multi-million dollar empire.

335
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:14,240
And this is just the beginning?

336
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:15,240
Just the beginning.

337
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:16,480
Can't wait to hear what happens next.

338
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:17,480
D2.

339
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,000
That $200 turns into something huge.

340
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,000
It does.

341
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,040
Within a week, he's making $1,000 a day.

342
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:25,040
Wow.

343
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:26,540
And by month two.

344
00:08:26,540 --> 00:08:27,540
Month two.

345
00:08:27,540 --> 00:08:28,540
Sales explode.

346
00:08:28,540 --> 00:08:29,540
Can blow it.

347
00:08:29,540 --> 00:08:30,540
To $10,000.

348
00:08:30,540 --> 00:08:31,540
$10,000.

349
00:08:31,540 --> 00:08:34,360
By the end of that first year.

350
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:35,360
First year?

351
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:39,320
It brings in a mind blowing $1.5 million.

352
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,280
$1.5 million in profit.

353
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:43,280
In profit.

354
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,640
From $200 to $1.5 million in profit in just one year.

355
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:48,640
It's amazing.

356
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:49,640
That's the dream.

357
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:50,640
It really is.

358
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,360
Perfect example of what we were talking about earlier.

359
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,480
The power of compounded growth.

360
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:55,800
It's not just luck though.

361
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:56,800
No.

362
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,200
Davey knew what the market needed.

363
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,360
He gave people a product they really wanted.

364
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:01,880
He found that gap.

365
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,120
And he understood how to use social media.

366
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:05,120
Oh, absolutely.

367
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:06,400
The right people.

368
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:07,400
He did.

369
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:08,800
It's not just about the business though.

370
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:09,800
Right.

371
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:10,800
He achieved some personal goals too.

372
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:11,800
Yeah, he does.

373
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:12,800
He buys a Range Rover.

374
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:13,800
A Range Rover.

375
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:14,800
Nice.

376
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,800
Helps his girlfriend get her dream car.

377
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:17,800
That's sweet.

378
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:18,800
Even buys a house.

379
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,320
A house, wow.

380
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,120
But he doesn't forget the bigger picture.

381
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:23,120
The bigger picture.

382
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,040
He reflects on the journey.

383
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:26,040
It's important to reflect.

384
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:27,240
And share some lessons.

385
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:28,240
What kind of lessons?

386
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,800
He talks about enjoying the process.

387
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,080
Enjoying the process.

388
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:33,400
Which is easy to forget.

389
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:34,880
It is when you're in the thick of it.

390
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:35,960
When you're hustling.

391
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:37,120
The grind.

392
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,160
But he reminds us that the journey matters.

393
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:40,160
I like that.

394
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,520
Just as much as the destination.

395
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:43,520
Powerful message.

396
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:44,520
Not just for entrepreneurs.

397
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:45,520
No, not at all.

398
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,360
It's so easy to get caught up in the outcome.

399
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:49,360
The outcome.

400
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,640
That we forget to appreciate the little wins.

401
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,480
The little wins, those are important.

402
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,240
And the lessons we learn along the way.

403
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:56,760
He's got another big one too.

404
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:57,760
Yeah.

405
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:58,760
Never giving up.

406
00:09:58,760 --> 00:09:59,760
Never give up.

407
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:00,960
And always keep learning.

408
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:01,960
Always learning.

409
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,320
It's like he's living that Michael Jordan quote.

410
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:05,760
The one about failure.

411
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:06,760
That's the one.

412
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:07,760
Full circle.

413
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:08,760
It's pretty cool.

414
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:09,760
He embraces the failures.

415
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:10,760
He does.

416
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:11,760
Use them as fuel.

417
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:12,760
To keep going.

418
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaking of going forward.

419
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,160
Baby's journey doesn't stop at calming blankets.

420
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,120
Calming blankets was just the beginning.

421
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:20,760
He launches the Ooty.

422
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:21,760
The Ooty.

423
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,160
Which takes things to a whole new level.

424
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:25,600
That's the one everyone knows him for.

425
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:26,600
I think so.

426
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:27,680
He's using what he's learned.

427
00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:28,680
Mm-hmm.

428
00:10:28,680 --> 00:10:29,680
Applying it to something new.

429
00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:30,680
Exactly.

430
00:10:30,680 --> 00:10:31,680
He finds another gap.

431
00:10:31,680 --> 00:10:32,680
Tell me.

432
00:10:32,680 --> 00:10:35,720
People want comfy, oversized blankets.

433
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:36,720
Wearable blankets.

434
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:37,720
Wearable blankets.

435
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:38,720
That's the thing.

436
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:39,720
It's brilliant.

437
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:40,720
It is.

438
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:41,720
And it becomes a global thing.

439
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,680
Millions to tens of millions in revenue.

440
00:10:43,680 --> 00:10:44,680
Incredible.

441
00:10:44,680 --> 00:10:46,000
A brand all about comfort.

442
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,000
Yeah.

443
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,000
Inclusivity.

444
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,000
And fun.

445
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,000
Fun is important.

446
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,000
It is.

447
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,000
What's cool is.

448
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,000
Yeah.

449
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,440
He uses those same strategies from before.

450
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:57,440
Like what?

451
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:58,440
Pre-selling.

452
00:10:58,440 --> 00:10:59,440
Smart.

453
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:00,440
Social media marketing.

454
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:01,440
It worked before.

455
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:02,440
Why change it?

456
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:03,440
The Ooty's success.

457
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:04,440
It's pretty amazing.

458
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,360
It's all about the emotion of the brand.

459
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:08,360
The emotion, okay.

460
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:09,360
It's not just a blanket.

461
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:10,360
Right.

462
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:11,360
It's a feeling.

463
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:12,360
A feeling, interesting.

464
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:16,080
It's about comfort, warmth, connection.

465
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:17,600
You're making me want to get one.

466
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,200
It's a product that makes you feel good.

467
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:20,360
Yeah, I get it.

468
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:21,360
That's powerful.

469
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,240
It's like he's back to those Nike commercials.

470
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:24,240
Full circle again.

471
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:25,240
He gets it.

472
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:26,240
He gets it.

473
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:27,240
Emotional branding.

474
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:28,520
Before it was even a thing.

475
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:29,680
He's ahead of the curve.

476
00:11:29,680 --> 00:11:30,680
He is.

477
00:11:30,680 --> 00:11:33,280
Davey's story is so inspiring.

478
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:34,280
It is.

479
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,400
It shows that anyone can achieve amazing things.

480
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:38,560
With enough passion.

481
00:11:38,560 --> 00:11:39,840
And determination.

482
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,760
And a willingness to learn.

483
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,800
$500 and an idea.

484
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:44,800
It's all it took.

485
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,760
Have a billion dollar empire.

486
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,120
In five years.

487
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,080
That's the power of entrepreneurship.

488
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:51,160
That's the power of Davey.

489
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,240
He really shows us what's possible.

490
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,080
It's not a straight line to success though.

491
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:56,400
No, it's not.

492
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:57,560
He had setbacks.

493
00:11:57,560 --> 00:11:58,560
He did.

494
00:11:58,560 --> 00:12:00,120
He never gave up.

495
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,280
What stands out to you?

496
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:03,280
About Davey's story.

497
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,080
Yeah, what's the big takeaway?

498
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,320
Anyone can achieve their goals.

499
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:08,320
Anyone.

500
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:09,320
If they work hard.

501
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:10,320
Work hard.

502
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,520
Embrace the tough times.

503
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,720
And never stop learning.

504
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:15,720
Never stop learning.

505
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,120
Davey wasn't born an entrepreneur.

506
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:19,640
He built those skills.

507
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:20,640
He did.

508
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:21,640
Trial and error.

509
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:22,640
Persistence.

510
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:23,640
He wanted it bad.

511
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:24,640
He did.

512
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:25,640
His story shows us.

513
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:26,640
It does.

514
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,640
Success isn't for the lucky few.

515
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,000
It's for anyone with the right mindset.

516
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,760
And the willingness to put in the work.

517
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:33,760
Exactly.

518
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:34,760
So empowering, isn't it?

519
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:35,760
It is.

520
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:36,760
We all have the potential.

521
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:37,760
We do.

522
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,640
To create something amazing.

523
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,160
Even with something small.

524
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,240
$500 and an idea.

525
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:44,240
Like Davey.

526
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:45,240
Like Davey.

527
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,320
Davey's story shows us you don't have to have all the answers right away.

528
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:49,320
You don't.

529
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,400
It's about having the guts to start to start to experiment.

530
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:53,400
To experiment.

531
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:54,400
To adapt.

532
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:55,400
It's a process.

533
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,360
Davey even says to those watching.

534
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:58,360
What's he say?

535
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,000
You're not too stupid.

536
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,000
Oh, I like this.

537
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,800
You are in a position to make a change in the world.

538
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:06,800
A call to action.

539
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:07,800
It is.

540
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,320
It's like he's challenging us.

541
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:10,320
It is.

542
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:11,600
To step outside our comfort zones.

543
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,400
To embrace the possibilities.

544
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:17,240
Davey's story loaves apart this myth.

545
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,200
That success is only for a chosen few.

546
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:21,200
Yeah.

547
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:22,200
It shows us.

548
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:23,200
Anyone can do it.

549
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,480
With dedication and a willingness to learn.

550
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:26,480
Remarkable things.

551
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:27,560
Markable things, yeah.

552
00:13:27,560 --> 00:13:30,800
We can't forget about finding the joy in it all.

553
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,080
Finding the joy, right?

554
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:33,360
Even when it's tough.

555
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:34,360
Because it will be?

556
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:35,360
Davey puts it perfectly.

557
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:36,360
How does he say it?

558
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:37,920
Try to enjoy the ride.

559
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:38,920
Enjoy the ride.

560
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:39,920
I love that.

561
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:40,920
It's about the hustle, the experimenting.

562
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:41,920
The hats and downs.

563
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:43,400
Yeah, the constant learning.

564
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:44,800
Talk about part of it.

565
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,920
So as we wrap up this deep dive.

566
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:48,400
Into Davey Fogarty's journey.

567
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:49,400
An incredible journey.

568
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:50,400
I have a question for you.

569
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:51,400
Okay, hit me.

570
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,680
What's one small step you can take today?

571
00:13:53,680 --> 00:13:54,680
Today.

572
00:13:54,680 --> 00:13:55,680
To get closer to your goals.

573
00:13:55,680 --> 00:13:56,680
Doesn't have to be huge.

574
00:13:56,680 --> 00:13:57,520
Nope.

575
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,040
It's finally starting that project you've been putting off.

576
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:01,040
Been there.

577
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:02,840
We're taking a course to learn something new.

578
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:03,840
Always learning.

579
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,680
Maybe just shifting your mindset a little.

580
00:14:05,680 --> 00:14:06,680
Your mindset.

581
00:14:06,680 --> 00:14:08,760
To see challenges as opportunities.

582
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:09,760
Love that.

583
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:14,640
Davey started with just $500 and a willingness to learn and hustle.

584
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,080
And look where he is now.

585
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:17,840
Imagine what you can achieve.

586
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,440
With the resources you have.

587
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,920
What's stopping you from taking that first step?

588
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:22,920
That's the question.

589
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,040
We hope this deep dive has left you feeling inspired.

590
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:27,040
Davey.

591
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,560
I'm ready to go after your dreams.

592
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:30,560
Whatever they may be.

593
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,920
Davey's story shows us.

594
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:33,920
It does.

595
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,720
The path to success is rarely a straight line.

596
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:37,720
So true.

597
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:38,720
But the journey.

598
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:39,720
The journey.

599
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,200
It's full of amazing learning experiences.

600
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:43,560
And unexpected rewards.

601
00:14:43,560 --> 00:15:00,600
That's what it's all about.
