Mix one and two point three Max Andally in the
Morning with You and what ab out all time favorite
shows back It is Shark Tank Australia. This is where
basically anyone can pitch up with their business idea to
people who actually know what they're doing and then they
might be able to get a bit of a leg
up and a start. It's happening on ten and ten
play Wednesday. That's tonight and joining us now is the
(00:21):
founder of Well. He's the South Australian boy done amazingly.
He is the guy behind the Woody Davy Foggety, Good morning,
Good morning. You're not just behind the WOODI that you know.
I think every household probably has one, if not two
of the minute at the moment. But I didn't realize
that you actually have your own YouTube channel and you're
closing on half a million subscribers.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Yeah, so YouTube is actually my main focus. I haven't
really been heavily involved in that over a year now.
We've got a terrific team there, so yeah, I just
kind of looked at it. I had a bunch of
successful e commerce businesses. I was like, how can I
make a bigger impact in the world and turn out
making free information can really do that?
Speaker 3 (01:04):
So YouTube channel does that mean?
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Because one of my things with YouTube, I'm very close
to subscribing because I hate the ads.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
I hate the ads.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Yeah, you're making like a cent for every view you
get or something cool like that.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Something a lot more than that.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Yeah, when you're a.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Big giling you could actually change YouTube. Because my son
is always getting on YouTube, but it's always like gamers
playing games, or someone eating something ridiculous or I don't know,
doing something stupid. So maybe I need to send them
to the Davy Foggity School of YouTube.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Yeah, it's hard to compete with the gamers just jump
around shooting everything, but we try to make the education
as enterdainy as possible.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Do you have time to play games when you're a
gazillionaire and you're running business?
Speaker 2 (01:47):
And used to when I was a kid. It's funny,
very common thing with entrepreneurs is they used to game
a lot because there was that instant gratification like that,
you know, you put in work, you built your skills
on the game, your vel up right, and there was
certain technical no how as well. So I used to
love gaming. But no, I don't really have any hobbies anymore,
I just working on stop.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Oh man, you've got to have some hobbies.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
You've got to spend some of this money that you make,
surely on some fun being.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Well if I definitely travel a little bit and switch
off there, But realistically, when you love what you do
so much, it's all you want to do.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Right If the gaming lover gaming hasn't turned you into
gazillionaire and instead you're a mid thirties bloke who works
on breakfast radio and reads a sport on ten, is
the gaming influence pretty much done?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
No, No, it's just time to give up gaming at
that point, Davy.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Sorry, mate, you might not know this, Davy. It was
pretty thinly veiled, but she was talking about me.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
It's time to subscribe, to pay for the subscription, not
the game.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Now, come on, can you Everybody I think has this
amazing idea. I think last time that we spoke to you,
I pitched my car periscope so everybody driving down good
road would be able to see if those cars are
parked in the left hand lane and get into the right.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
But you didn't seem.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Overly happy with that, nor were you really happy with
my electric heater underneath the umbrella when it opens, so
while we're watching sport and winter would be warm.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
That was an electrocution risk, I think we decided.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
But are you standing there sometimes and seeing people come
in front of all of you sharks and pitching and
just going in your headman, this will never work.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
I look at myself when I was twenty three years old,
and I hadn't really had a big successful business at
that point, and then I look at these entrepreneurs and
I'm like, you're so much more put together than me
at this point, Like you have the product you are
on shark tank pitching in front of people that is
so daunting. So I think that there's a balance between
(03:45):
giving them candid feedback and putting them on the right
track and discouraging them to the point where they'll never
try again. Because I think if someone that I really
respected at that point told me this is your stupid
or this isn't going to work like that could have
been the nail in the coffin. I was told I
was stupid a lot from teachers when I was growing up,
and that really did set me back a little bit. Yes,
(04:07):
there are duds sometimes, to be completely honest, but we're often,
you know, coming from quite an empathetic place to put
them on the right track.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
I know you're a really nice guy.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Can you share with us one that you've gone it's
just not going to work well.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
I think that the periscope or the umbrella.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Maybe where's the compassion alley?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
We're friends, we don't know. I can be candid with you.
