0:00I sell cowboy hats and custom hats. >> Sweet. >> We do around two million in revenue right now. I'd like to be at five. >> What's the price of the hat >> right now? Anywhere from 800 to,200. >> Okay. >> The issue is I can double the paid ads, double the content like you say, but I can't make the hats. >> Okay. So, you're supply constraint. >> Totally. It takes years to take somebody and make them into a master hatmaker and it's a dying trade. I don't feel like recruiters can find hatmakers. Maybe I'm wrong. I don't know.
0:25>> I think they can totally find hatmakers. You think so? I mean, I would just Google hatmaker and then I would call all the business owners. I'm just being mean like this is how I would do it.

So, it's like how much more would I need to pay somebody in order to get them to be one willing to move to Kentucky and two be willing to go through the training for it? If I can get them to do that, do I still have a good margin? If so, great. You have the margin and you have the pricing power. sees it.
