It's all in the last piece of advice, we all talk really good to ourselves most of the time, if we lose that part of shame that we think anybody cares at all, we can communicate exactly what we want without fear of rejection
As a manufacture in the furniture industry i say comunication is everything ! without good comunication there is no business or at least not for very long...
Bro picked a winner for a wife. Most people would tell their so get a better job, hell no your not wasting are little life savings, or I'm not sleeping in a car everyday.
Nothing short of Amazing! He's a great communicator and a great businessman. KC has proven that resilience, hard work and a supportive partner prevailed.
Entrepreneurship teaches you more than anything you will ever learn from anywhere else in life. It teaches you patience, persistence and perseverance and more than that you battle your fears and inhibitions everyday yet overcome those to build something to serve to others. Amazing story indeed, kc loved every bit of it. Best wishes, keep rolling 🎉
What I like about this is that the ring isn't some mindblowing product. A lot of people get intimidated and overwhelmed at the thought of starting a business coz they think they can't and don't have a unique idea for it. But you can actually do it if you put your mind into it.
BRO, I LOVE STARTER STORY: a statement from someone who didn't believe in it in the first place. so like the content of the channel it proves that is possible and there is hope
Nail biting, edge of your seat storytelling genius. I was hooked from beginning to end. This starter story is all about perseverance. It's what separates winners from quitters.
I actually have that problem!! i do not wear my ring because i do different sports. I LOVE STARTER STORY, helped me realize it is so normal to have many problems, challenges first years and it is not just me. it is a relief and the secret to succes is to keep going, do not quit and you eventually make it.
It was so inspiring to see the ups and downs of a business and the lucky break that came at the right time. Thank you for the inspiration! Now I have to go and solve a few problems.
Great discovery for me this channel on YT...and this story had loads of takeaway lessons for aspiring entrepreneurs....admire his grit & tenacity...it's necessary.
I love this video. It’s full of information. There’s a lot of videos like this on RUclips that just deceive the audience and don’t say anything of context.
He was very lucky to come up on this idea early if not first, their early marketing and branding was about as bad as it gets. This should give everyone hope. Great story , great speaker. A go getter for sure.
This story is incredible! Super deserving success. I wonder how the went about patenting it, as I know that's a huge cost. I have an idea for a product and the patent part has been holding me back.
Entrepreneurship is one of the hardest things you can go through, as example in this story they had ideas and sought after them on their own. Without a mentorship trying to cut costs they had to learn on their own to always order a sample first.
Please talk to us more about the doubts, the negative talk and the moment when these amazing entrepreneurs were about to call it off. I'm at one right now and finding it hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel
It is a great advantage to have a business partner with the same mindset and a life partner behind you.... even if you fail. Most people give up, because the partners are not supporting.
I don't appreciate the fact that when I visited the starter story website, it required my email first to find out that you charge $100s just for the content. It is NOT FREE and as soon as I get that email I will unsubscribe and mark it as spam. Do better and don't make your website seem like a free community. It isn't!
QUALO = Quality. Athletics. Love. Outdoors. To me it's always cool seeing how businesses and brands come up with their name. The name is definitely catchy.
I never even think about my wedding ring, and it never gets in my way. As a matter fact, when this video started, I checked to make sure it was still on my finger which it always is cause I never take it off.
This is a fantastic video, so well done on so many levels. However there's too little information on the marketing: they're doing no sales, but then the quarterback promotes the ring which 3x's sales, and then they're doing $30mil? Online stores rely so much on their marketing so this really needed more filling out.
theres always some amount of luck. guy knew the wife of a pro football player who aired on tv and talked about his product while being the key target audience? did i understand that right. thats like me trying to start a new chocolate bar company and being friends with Michelle buck.
@@kerenbanget1 it's like those free cheese samples in supermarkets. They always put in the cream of the crop and when you bought the wheel, it mostly tastes horrible lol
How in the world can this company do these types of numbers? It’s so cheap to make and barrier to entry is extremely easy. It’s not like branding matters in this instance, so most people are going to go to Amazon and buy the cheapest one. I really don’t get how they grew to those numbers
Which is true. I just went on Amazon and found a top selling brand called thunder fit that sells these rings for $12 and the designs look better in my opinion. So idk these numbers seem wild to me
This was wonderful, but there's a huge jump in the story. His partner said they couldn't afford for him to quit the restaurant, and then they were hiring two employees a month. And moving into a building. Where did that money all come from? Did they take a business loan? Did they crowdfund? Get a business grant? I think for most new business owners, that's where the real challenge is.
Great product and as most successtorys this have one to at 8:50 , what is the odds you friends with the wife to a quarterback and then later have it on the hbo show and do free marketing? Like the odds.. But this is part of the story, really cool!
Inspiring story, dude was always gonna be successful though. If it wasn’t the ring it would have been something else, right mindset, energy and fantastic communicator.
Dude 100% same. I don't get it. Like who sees this shit and says "Yeah! Thats perfect!". It's just some cheap ugly piece of rubber and it looks real stupid.
@@unknwnvids Have you watched an episode of Shark Tank lately? Some of the ideas people come up with also seem equally crazy but there seem to be people out there that buy this stuff? Ex; fan cooled breast feeding apron, edible candles and a residential automated meal prep robot for $50k. I don't get it?
Because it solves a problem, they dont have to wear it everywhere. When you are really handsome and tall like me, I get hit on at the gym & my wife doesnt like that. These solve that problem and show that im married while im working out or doing sports. @@unknwnvids

Sir, your wife deserves the best, after showing that level of commitment, trust and cooperation. ❤️
Wives like yours rarely exist nowadays
We don't talk enough about the wives (and husbands) behind all of these successful entrepreneurs. I rarely meet successful single people.
The people who solve problems for the people in the world become successful
He’s an amazing communicator. People with better ideas cannot communicate that well and they’re ideas cannot scale. It’s sad but true.
It's all in the last piece of advice, we all talk really good to ourselves most of the time, if we lose that part of shame that we think anybody cares at all, we can communicate exactly what we want without fear of rejection
But everyone can learn it! You just have to know your weaknesses and put the work in! You dont need to be the best, its enough to be okay!

right? im totally amazed that some rubber band can make that much
@@SpookyrealStoryI know I wish they included numbers , like how much they sold their first for, how much did it go up what not

these have evolved so well in such a short period of time. mad props.

Love the scrappy early days stories 👌🔥🔥🔥
Really appreciate all the great content you put out for us Pat - well produced, perfect length & tons of actionable advice, thank you so much!
This is just mind-blowing.......................awesome story. Finally an excellent use of the internet. Again well done...
Best one yet!
Thanks so much. You have encouraged me!
Subscribed. Great format and storytelling 🔥
Mr KC Thank you for sharing your startup story . It was so informative and inspiring. God bless you in all you do! ❤🙏🏽❤️
So sick, can’t wait for my episode
Pat this channel is by far my favorite
great job leveling up the story telling here with music scoring and narrative build up!
Bro! That was SO CLEAN!! I'm talking about the self promoting ad... So good. Love it.
I watch these stories and see how much patience the entrepreneurs had.
love this story thank you
I love this video. It’s full of information. There’s a lot of videos like this on RUclips that just deceive the audience and don’t say anything of context.
"Sending emails is free". I wonder what CRM he used to do his email marketing. Great story! Yay for the underdog 🙂
Most ppl used mailchimp back in those days. E-com wasn’t as developed as they are now.
He was very lucky to come up on this idea early if not first, their early marketing and branding was about as bad as it gets. This should give everyone hope. Great story , great speaker. A go getter for sure.
5:17 that came from the* depth of his soul . the basement actually ❤
I am hooked on your videos. Thanks! just found it today!
Awesome job, keep up the good work, we need a new video from starter story at least weekly
Biggest win of Dalton's career haha. What a story! Very inspiring :)
LOVE THIS! What a powerful story so inspiring 🔥
This story is incredible! Super deserving success. I wonder how the went about patenting it, as I know that's a huge cost. I have an idea for a product and the patent part has been holding me back.
This was extremely inspiring to me! Thank you!
KC you the man!
Very inspiring story, never give up
Inspiring! Thanks!

That’s a fair point but he is also putting out a lot of free content. There’s a lesson in using lead magnets to drive people to paid services
I'm watching this while I'm wearing my silicone ring... that's how you know it's a great product! awesome story
Love the new videos. You have a subscriber now 🙌
Loved his advice!
QUALO = Quality. Athletics. Love. Outdoors. To me it's always cool seeing how businesses and brands come up with their name. The name is definitely catchy.
What an amazing journey very inspiring 🙏
Not giving up on your dreams is truly what it takes to become successful
but how the fuck do you do 100M in sales in silicon rings of all things, my mind refuses to accept. pain.
great video!!!
Love the effort you’re putting into these! Great video!
“You’re being selfish by not solving the problems other people have”
That’s the best advise I’ve heard all day
What this ring do btw?
Awesome story
Who else thought they were both gay and married until they showed his wife's picture.😂😂
Me
Exactly 😂😂😂
I was like what the heck…
bro what
Seriously?
Here😂
hello, new subscriber. just wanna let you i love ur content😄😄
Epic stuff KC! You are the real
Deal 💯
love this!! keep up the great work!
Very good channel! Love this. Good voice bro.
👏👏👏👏👏 Great “Starter Story!” 🤭😉
I need to get eyebrow scissors and connections to an NFL quarterback.
Exactly! Without Andy Dalton...these guys would be burning rubber rings to stay warm during cold Winter months.
Great story!
4:36 100% relatable.
Lol I had no idea this was about the guy who made the ring I wear everyday. This makes the story even better.
these guys and their wives are awesome
This story is insperitional 😊
God bless you and especially your wife . You married the right one , she’s truly faithful ✝️👍
great story
What an awesome video!

Bottom line. There's nothing proprietary about this product. It is a commercial.
He said that got them a boost, but then it faded. They obviously worked on SEO and advertising, likely facebook and IG at the time.
Love ittt!!
You need a video editor bro?
I can do a sampl video;)
theres always some amount of luck. guy knew the wife of a pro football player who aired on tv and talked about his product while being the key target audience? did i understand that right. thats like me trying to start a new chocolate bar company and being friends with Michelle buck.
Business is 50% luck
Amazing stuff ❤
Did they not order a sample before their first batch of inventory?
I bet , they did. Most suppliers did great sample, but the massive production sucks
@@kerenbanget1 it's like those free cheese samples in supermarkets. They always put in the cream of the crop and when you bought the wheel, it mostly tastes horrible lol
It's a commercial.
His wife is awesome. Believed in his vision and worked along side. Kudos.
she played her position right instead of just waiting at the finish line . kudos to her ...smart investment.
I read she almost left him

Super Power!

Thanks for Content!
Great story! How did they come up with the name Qalo?
11:07 Do you want to take a leap of faith, or become an old man, filled with regret.
Very inspiring!
Wow wha a great story. Two guys with the same problem solve it and bring it to market!
All the best
Everyone and their mom, at least in my industry, mainly males, wear these, and they are super super convinced about them. They even promote them.
9:24 BINGO.. it’s always a mystery how the universe works in your favor when u put in the effort.. that ring he sent wasn’t a waste after all.
Awesome story! Much respect to you guys for sticking it out and making Qalo a success!!
Great product and as most successtorys this have one to at 8:50 , what is the odds you friends with the wife to a quarterback and then later have it on the hbo show and do free marketing? Like the odds.. But this is part of the story, really cool!
Its a min startup degree you completed watching this video
Thanks for link ~ coming from X
Inspiring story, dude was always gonna be successful though. If it wasn’t the ring it would have been something else, right mindset, energy and fantastic communicator.
13:30 ' 99 problems
In my mind, this should have never worked. I don't understand how this worked out for these guys.
In your mind, you'll never do anything.
Dude 100% same. I don't get it. Like who sees this shit and says "Yeah! Thats perfect!". It's just some cheap ugly piece of rubber and it looks real stupid.

Because it solves a problem, they dont have to wear it everywhere. When you are really handsome and tall like me, I get hit on at the gym & my wife doesnt like that. These solve that problem and show that im married while im working out or doing sports. @@unknwnvids
