[ Music ]

00:00:06.150 --> 00:00:09.950
>> We grew up in a household where
we were told anything is possible.

00:00:09.950 --> 00:00:12.580
And you only have one shot at life.

00:00:12.580 --> 00:00:14.080
Why not do it the way you want?

00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:19.280
So that's really the core value and the
belief at Tessemae's is if you want something

00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:22.890
and you're going to work hard
enough for it, go get it.

00:00:22.890 --> 00:00:25.750
>> There's an intensity in
this building that is unmatched

00:00:25.750 --> 00:00:27.860
from anything I've ever seen in my life.

00:00:27.860 --> 00:00:29.250
We refuse to lose.

00:00:29.250 --> 00:00:33.740
There is no politics and we all know
how one another feels at any given time.

00:00:33.740 --> 00:00:38.590
So we will execute this and it will be
as a team knowing that we will not fail.

00:00:38.590 --> 00:00:39.510
We will succeed.

00:00:39.510 --> 00:00:40.210
And we are winners.

00:00:40.210 --> 00:00:43.020
And that is reinforced everyday
with my buddies, the vetters.

00:00:43.020 --> 00:00:44.540
Every day that is reinforced.

00:00:44.540 --> 00:00:49.640
>> It's liberating and it allows you to
be creative and one thing that's amazing

00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:53.430
about Tessemae's is we actually promote fun.

00:00:53.430 --> 00:00:56.550
There's no point in doing anything
in life if you're not enjoying it.

00:00:56.550 --> 00:00:59.530
And so I absolutely love everyone I work with.

00:00:59.530 --> 00:01:02.820
And they're kind of like
stepsisters and brothers to me.

00:01:02.820 --> 00:01:07.540
>> I think what's really important here is
that, you know, obviously you're a cultural fit.

00:01:07.540 --> 00:01:12.670
We look -- I look for really energetic
individuals who are really looking

00:01:12.670 --> 00:01:17.020
at the big picture and who want to be part of
what it means to be a part of startup company.

00:01:17.020 --> 00:01:22.050
And really just can propel themselves and have
the motivation and the drive and the ambition

00:01:22.050 --> 00:01:24.040
to really take us to the next level.

00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:27.600
>> So we don't care how much
experience you have.

00:01:27.600 --> 00:01:30.440
We really like the personal framework side.

00:01:30.440 --> 00:01:32.030
What time do you wake up?

00:01:32.030 --> 00:01:33.070
What time do you go to sleep?

00:01:33.070 --> 00:01:34.490
What do you eat?

00:01:34.490 --> 00:01:36.130
How many questions do you ask?

00:01:36.130 --> 00:01:38.640
Do you accept no the first time?

00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:41.310
So it's really that disruptor as an individual.

00:01:41.310 --> 00:01:45.850
Like we really look for the disruptors out there
that have been told no you can't do it that way.

00:01:45.850 --> 00:01:47.820
Hey you're messing up the way things are.

00:01:47.820 --> 00:01:49.170
That's what we like.

00:01:49.170 --> 00:01:49.800
>> I love it.

00:01:49.800 --> 00:01:54.250
Like when I first started, I started
off in the line and I worked my way

00:01:54.250 --> 00:01:57.100
up to the e-com section filling online orders.

00:01:57.100 --> 00:01:58.940
You got to be energetic.

00:01:58.940 --> 00:02:01.470
You got to be -- you got to love what you do.

00:02:01.470 --> 00:02:03.840
And around here, the work is pretty easy.

00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:05.660
The people around here's pretty cool.

00:02:05.660 --> 00:02:08.230
So other than that, you can't
go wrong with that.

00:02:08.230 --> 00:02:11.620
When people tell me I'm smiling all
the time and sometimes I'll be --

00:02:11.620 --> 00:02:13.460
I don't even know I'm smiling half the time.

00:02:13.460 --> 00:02:19.660
>> I wake up every day and I say what do I need
to do today to stay on this bus and to make sure

00:02:19.660 --> 00:02:24.860
that my presence is meaningful
and that my contributions are felt

00:02:24.860 --> 00:02:29.500
because I do not want to lose my seat here.

00:02:29.500 --> 00:02:31.390
>> So we have supply team jobs.

00:02:31.390 --> 00:02:32.880
We have field marketers.

00:02:32.880 --> 00:02:36.900
We have sales people, distribution
specialists, finance.

00:02:36.900 --> 00:02:38.120
It's the whole turnkey here.

00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:43.520
Manufacturing, sales, distribution,
so at the rate we're growing which is

00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:49.610
about 1900 percent a month, you know
there's absurds amounts of opportunity here.

00:02:49.610 --> 00:02:52.000
>> [Music] And what I can tell
you that you walk into this place.

00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:54.800
You meet the people who have
been here and it is a culture

00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:57.740
that while you can't necessarily
put your finger on the magic,

00:02:57.740 --> 00:02:59.920
you know it's there and you
want to be a part of it.

00:02:59.920 --> 00:03:03.430
>> We look at all these people
like they are our family.

00:03:03.430 --> 00:03:07.380
We want them to succeed more than
I think a normal employer does.

00:03:07.380 --> 00:03:09.360
Like we want them to be a part of the journey.

00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:14.970
We want them to be a part of this story
and we want them to be with us in 5, 10,

00:03:14.970 --> 00:03:18.910
15 years saying I helped build this.

00:03:18.910 --> 00:03:20.510
I was a part of this.

00:03:20.510 --> 00:03:26.500
