Uh-I don't know
JonGUEST
6:02
Uh, Bart's gonna pull his pistol and put a bullet in between the two gentlemen to, to arrest their attention.

29 MINS LATER

34:45
So I'm gonna-
JonGUEST
34:46
Bart gets, gets into the cart and starts pulling.
JonGUEST
34:49
Oh, this is bringing back unpleasant memories of school days.
JonGUEST
34:52
[laughs] Carries on, tries pulling the cart.
29:08
Yeah
JonGUEST
29:08
... she doesn't even really like to even have a drink anymore because it affects her sleep now and more.
JonGUEST
29:14
So-- But she, she was always the type to have one drink or to be one to be hungover and not want to drink to make the h-hangover better.
JonGUEST
29:27
And I try to explain this to her about how my brain works, and i- she said that, you know, if she tried something, e-even a medication or, or any substance that made her feel, like, good or better, made things, like, a lot better, it would freak her out, and she wouldn't wanna do it.
JonGUEST
29:48
And I tell her, "Okay, so you know that feeling where it made it better and it feels good? Okay, now obsess with that and how you're going to make yourself feel even better than you do now, and then how you're gonna continue that on." And then there's this whole game plan about, "Okay, tomorrow morning I'm gonna do this," and it's this obsessive game plan of how I can feel like this all the time.

7 MINS LATER

37:29
Mm.
JonGUEST
37:29
And looking back, it was-- my dad was going through his stuff, so I don't blame him, but there was a lot of stuff that was...
JonGUEST
37:38
I was alone in.
14:23
Uh, what's your blender of choice?
JonGUEST
14:25
Uh, absolutely, yeah, so blenders, we're just using classic Vitamixes.
JonGUEST
14:29
Um, to make our juice, we're using two different machines.
JonGUEST
14:32
We're using, um, a huge cold press machine, um, which is essentially just like a hydraulic pincher.

6 MINS LATER

20:39
I think it, it came up somewhere, yeah.
JonGUEST
20:41
Yeah, you mentioned it at a podcast and I was like, "Oh my God, Conan and I have something in common." But, uh, my question for you is, uh, like, uh, people always say, "Are you a fast swimmer?" And I go, "Oh, yeah, Michael Phelps," blah, blah, blah.
JonGUEST
20:53
But, like, that answer's always a little boring.
JonGUEST
20:55
So, I was hoping you could ki- help me come up with some better answers to, uh, l- what to respond when people ask, like, "Are you a fast swimmer?"

... business model that you guys have- have evolved, but I would love to hear kind of the- the backstory.
JonGUEST
183:08
Yeah, I mean, when Wander started, interest rates were- were pretty much zero.
JonGUEST
183:12
Uh, and so that allowed for us to have a very asset heavy model where we actually went out and bought those first few locations on balance sheet, really with the idea of solving the Cold Start problem of the marketplace, do things that don't scale.
JonGUEST
183:24
And so as- as we grew, obviously that had to transition.
JonGUEST
183:28
You had two crazy events happen at once.
JonGUEST
183:29
You obviously had, um, sort of the massive, you know, rise of interest rates.
JonGUEST
183:34
But Wander actually, at the time had $100 million credit facility with Credit Suisse as a six-month-old startup.
