[00:32] SPEAKER_01: Welcome to Canada's Podcast, the number one podcast for entrepreneurs by entrepreneurs.
[00:41] SPEAKER_03: Hello, this is Robert Smigel with Canada's Podcast where we talk to the entrepreneurs who
[00:46] SPEAKER_03: are making it happen here in British Columbia. Mark Sennick is the owner of Red Square,
[00:51] SPEAKER_03: Bakery, and PowerFacts Holdings in Burnaby, BC. He started the company in 1990,
[00:57] SPEAKER_03: Manufacturing Authentic Russian Food Products. That include Proshky, Veronica, and others.
[01:05] SPEAKER_03: 20 years ago, he invented Diabetic Friendly Keto PowerFlaks Baking Mix and started producing
[01:14] SPEAKER_03: Keto-Baked Products, Breads, Buns, Waffles, Cinnamon Buns, and lots more. They currently produce
[01:22] SPEAKER_03: over 140 products, helping their clients to overcome autoimmune system disorders with Keto-Power
[01:31] SPEAKER_03: Flags Healing Food Regiment. Welcome to Canada's Podcast. Thanks for taking the time today to be
[01:38] SPEAKER_02: here for all our listeners. Thank you Robert. What a fantastic introduction. I couldn't have done
[01:44] SPEAKER_02: it myself. I think you're going to be on the board of directors for marketing on behalf of everybody.
[01:50] SPEAKER_03: You've got the seed in our office now. Okay, so let's take it back a bit. Tell us about the
[01:57] SPEAKER_03: beginnings where you came from, how you got started, all that great stuff that we want to hear about.
[02:02] SPEAKER_02: It's only 61 years and we're going to describe it in 30 to 40 minutes. It was born in
[02:09] SPEAKER_02: 1916 Siberia, City of Canerova. It's a mining capital and basically lived there for about
[02:18] SPEAKER_02: seven, eight years, moved to Asian part of Russia with my family. Then the last six years
[02:24] SPEAKER_02: were lived in Lithuania. In 1979, we immigrated and came to Canada. Of course, no money,
[02:32] SPEAKER_02: no business, no work, not much English. We had to go to school, learn the language. I went to
[02:48] SPEAKER_02: the construction industry. That's my initial occupation. Then later on, we found it
[02:56] SPEAKER_02: Red Square Bakery in 1990 and started producing authentic Russian food goods and selling it to
[03:03] SPEAKER_02: local supermarkets. In 2000, we invented the power flux baking mix, which is local
[03:12] SPEAKER_02: carbohydrate, locally semi-cindex for diabetes, and for people who want to drop a few pounds.
[03:18] SPEAKER_02: Or people with autoimmune system disorders put my mom on the regimen myself. My mom in 2002
[03:27] SPEAKER_02: suffered with a tremendous stroke, which was paralyzed. That's how I invented actually the
[03:33] SPEAKER_02: product to help for to regain health and movement. A year later, from that moment that she suffered
[03:40] SPEAKER_02: with the stroke, she regained the movement. I lost 57 pounds the next year.
[03:46] SPEAKER_02: I started concentrating on healthy eating. Focusing on eating. Reducing a lot of recipes
[03:53] SPEAKER_02: for diabetes, people with celiacrometeolitis diseases, other autoimmune system disorders,
[04:02] SPEAKER_02: as well, including cancers. We realized that eating for health is better than actually
[04:09] SPEAKER_02: being lost in life and depending on medications or surgeries and etc.
[04:16] SPEAKER_03: Okay. Now, did you need financing to start your company? How did that come about?
[04:21] SPEAKER_02: Did it? Well, basically, I was on my feet already in 1987. I created a product called
[04:31] SPEAKER_02: Form gasket that was installed on top of the floor dress before you subplot plywood those on it
[04:40] SPEAKER_02: with screws. So it acted as an insulator, sound barrier, and the floors didn't have any
[04:57] SPEAKER_02: slicing blades and was cutting inch and a half gaskets, foam gaskets, and selling it to the
[05:04] SPEAKER_02: construction industry construction company. That's how I basically started my so-called
[05:09] SPEAKER_02: entrepreneurial innovative new product business. Then I was ahead my own construction company,
[05:17] SPEAKER_02: did renovations, but my parents were out of place. So I wanted them to be involved in some kind
[05:23] SPEAKER_02: of new venture, new business. So we put 60,000 dollars together and open a
[05:30] SPEAKER_02: rescue bakery in North Vancouver. That's where we started in 1990. Wow. Okay. I want you to give me a
[05:38] SPEAKER_03: key piece of knowledge or information about your industry that our listeners can learn from.
[05:45] SPEAKER_02: Well, the industry of food manufacturing is quite challenging. We have a lot of
[05:54] SPEAKER_02: multicultural foods here and represented from all over the world, Chinese,
[06:00] SPEAKER_02: Estonia, European, Canadian, American, Western, etc. But there was no representation of
[06:09] SPEAKER_02: authentic Russian food in the 90s. So we decided why don't we just come from Russia?
[06:15] SPEAKER_02: We used to eat pirouche and baraniki. Why can't we just get the machine, modify it, build it to
[06:22] SPEAKER_02: Canadian standards, and start making authentic Russian pirouche rolls or baraniki dumplings and
[06:29] SPEAKER_02: Russian breads, etc. I had no baking experience at that moment. I did not know how to make yeast dough
[06:36] SPEAKER_02: or how to work with food manufacturing equipment. But because I'm mechanically inclined,
[06:43] SPEAKER_02: it was kind of walking apart from me and made my first dough. I didn't work out that well,
[06:51] SPEAKER_02: I made another batch, another batch tried many flowers. And eventually I got the recipe done.
[06:57] SPEAKER_02: Got my first products made with a variety of savory feelings and then put the suit on,
[07:04] SPEAKER_02: went to Costco and sold the product. Got listed and all the Costco's in British Columbia and that's
[07:12] SPEAKER_03: how we all started. Okay, sounds good. So you're a very well-established company. What is the
[07:17] SPEAKER_03: long-term vision and what will your company look like in the future? Do you see the company
[07:22] SPEAKER_03: spanning into other areas and where beyond Vancouver, BC or even Canada?
[07:28] SPEAKER_02: Well, at the moment we're selling our mix baking mix which comes in at 20 kilo sats to five
[07:35] SPEAKER_02: bakery's already. Two bakeries in New York City that's in Brooklyn, Spring Valley.
[07:42] SPEAKER_02: Two bakeries in Ontario. We sell the mix now to a very large bakery in Calgary,
[07:50] SPEAKER_02: when we turn our recipes and make buns and breads and sell them to co-ops.
[07:57] SPEAKER_02: We have currently two distributors as well for our products like cookies. You can see here
[08:05] SPEAKER_02: we sell to lemon drugs, bibles, nesters, same on foods, etc. over 300 stores in Canada.
[08:14] SPEAKER_02: Our growth is basically based on the growth of our clients in terms of gaining better health.
[08:24] SPEAKER_02: We're not driven by sales, we're driven by improving Canadian health. In many people who are
[08:31] SPEAKER_02: suffering with a lot of disorders, the key element right now is to create a lot more recipes
[08:40] SPEAKER_02: more than 140 that we've done already for people with different disorders and to each other
[08:46] SPEAKER_02: bakeries and given free recipes how to produce these items and products which we sell here in British
[08:54] SPEAKER_02: Columbia or anywhere else. So we're in the educational business here.
[09:00] SPEAKER_03: Awesome. Okay, let's talk a little bit about doing business in British Columbia and what that
[09:04] SPEAKER_03: looks like for you. What are the biggest benefits for you and being an entrepreneur here in
[09:08] SPEAKER_03: Vancouver BC? I want you to give us some of the good points about starting a company here,
[09:12] SPEAKER_03: but I also want you to give us some of the tough things or challenges for our listeners.
[09:15] SPEAKER_03: So they can keep an eye out for them. Well, let's start with the negative family business.
[09:20] SPEAKER_02: It doesn't matter which business you go into. Sometimes you're on the fun bit. Sometimes you have
[09:26] SPEAKER_02: barriers. In order to sell the product, you have to hit 100 calls to get one maybe meeting.
[09:33] SPEAKER_02: So it's numbers games. It's not up to the product that you make. It's up to your agility,
[09:41] SPEAKER_02: your persistence and believing in yourself and the products and the services that you represent
[09:46] SPEAKER_02: to the clients. And in many cases, even if you get into a lot of store chains, let's say it's
[09:55] SPEAKER_02: a daily item and we've been there. Sometimes the product after 10 years can be delisted because
[10:00] SPEAKER_02: they don't have enough cooler space. So all of a sudden your efforts, your machinery that you
[10:05] SPEAKER_02: invested into, your money, your marketing goes down to zero sales. That you cannot predict just
[10:13] SPEAKER_02: like we never predicted what has COVID done to the world. So there are a lot of unpredictable factors
[10:22] SPEAKER_02: in business. You can only rely on yourself that the day provides 24 hours. If the worst scenario comes
[10:29] SPEAKER_02: and you lose part of your business or your sales, you can always skip a few nights of sleep,
[10:38] SPEAKER_02: rethink your strategy, create something new and innovative or a new product line and hit the market
[10:45] SPEAKER_02: again. Basically, you have to make your service an industrial rumba. They can hit you, you can fall
[10:52] SPEAKER_02: down. But you get up the next day, put the smile on, create the product, you live in a product and
[10:59] SPEAKER_02: services and go and sell the product to other customers. That's basically what we've been doing
[11:06] SPEAKER_03: for many years. Okay, I want you to imagine now that you just moved here from save Russia. If you
[11:13] SPEAKER_03: were to start all over again and you just moved here to Vancouver BC, but this time you don't know
[11:18] SPEAKER_03: anyone knowing what you know now, what would you do and how would you go about starting all over
[11:24] SPEAKER_02: again as an entrepreneur? Well, basically, I experienced being an entrepreneur in Italy
[11:31] SPEAKER_02: when we were waiting for four and a half months to get our visas to get into Canada. Against
[11:36] SPEAKER_02: being an Italian, we were there without any money with my parents and my sister. And I was selling
[11:42] SPEAKER_02: Russian semi-atomatic cameras to Italians on San Giovanni market in Italian. In 30 days, I learned
[11:50] SPEAKER_02: enough Italian to sell Russian cameras and mini-mini-chativies to Italians in Italian. So I realized
[11:59] SPEAKER_02: the best skill or advice to an entrepreneur in any country can never be included. It's not what you
[12:07] SPEAKER_02: do. It's how good you can communicate about your product, about your services and how you feel
[12:13] SPEAKER_02: that niche, that you're better than anybody else on the market with what you're presenting to the client.
[12:19] SPEAKER_02: So my advice to anybody who wants to start a business or a new immigrant in Canada is they have
[12:28] SPEAKER_02: to believe in themselves. They have to learn the language that people, your consumer speak
[12:35] SPEAKER_02: and convey the message explicitly to the clients and convince them that the product that you're
[12:42] SPEAKER_02: offering is very unique. It feels the niche and solves problems. So in any business, if you solve
[12:50] SPEAKER_02: somebody's problems, money follow you. So it's not about the profitability of the business,
[12:55] SPEAKER_02: it's not about marketability of your products. It's about how good are you in problem solving
[13:02] SPEAKER_02: in the market that you place yourself into with any business you want to start?
[13:08] SPEAKER_03: Okay. Do you think entrepreneurs have to be weird or unique in a positive way or wired differently?
[13:16] SPEAKER_02: I believe they're survivors. I believe they've been beaten up in battles in life. I think you know,
[13:24] SPEAKER_02: you've got to have a lot of humor mixed with a lot of anger and you've got to believe in the future
[13:30] SPEAKER_02: and in a way you've got to live in the future, believe in your dreams and whatever you've got to do
[13:36] SPEAKER_02: today to make that dream happen. You are just accordingly every day based on the flow,
[13:43] SPEAKER_02: based on the weather, based on the market conditions and diversity of your knowledge is much
[13:49] SPEAKER_02: required. It's not if you're a great plumber and you just do plumbing because you're competing in
[13:56] SPEAKER_02: the field of many plumbers, even if you create an interview or invent a product and you want to
[14:02] SPEAKER_02: sell it to the market to let's say lumber yards or home-deeper. The key behind any entrepreneur,
[14:10] SPEAKER_02: you have to be a white-scored knowledgeable person about finances, about banking, about
[14:17] SPEAKER_02: mortgages, debt load, about risk factors, about the capacity of the market,
[14:24] SPEAKER_02: the situation of the market and whether your product fits in the market or not. And being able to
[14:32] SPEAKER_02: actually, if the product you selected is wrong, for the time that you created it for, drop it,
[14:39] SPEAKER_02: start something new. Be not afraid to cut your losses and start something new.
[14:46] SPEAKER_02: Okay, is that victory?
[14:51] SPEAKER_00: Canada's Trade Accelerator Program is presented by the World Trade Center Vancouver.
[14:57] SPEAKER_00: It provides entrepreneurs access to Canada's top exporting advisors, resources, and contacts
[15:04] SPEAKER_00: and gives the ongoing training needed to become a successful export trader.
[15:08] SPEAKER_00: Go to www.wtc Vancouver.ca slash tap and find out more.
[15:18] SPEAKER_03: What books are you reading now in a wire, even audiobooks? Can you recommend any books for
[15:23] SPEAKER_03: listeners who are all so aspiring entrepreneurs? So basically how do you educate yourself?
[15:26] SPEAKER_02: The biggest recommendation, there are about 8 billion books that a lot of people have not read.
[15:31] SPEAKER_02: They're called human lives. The reason why we excel here at Red Square,
[15:37] SPEAKER_02: or Power Flux Holdings, that we have a working bakery, retail, and we talk to each
[15:44] SPEAKER_02: life, new customer. It's like a book we've never read. We have even a lounge with a
[15:49] SPEAKER_02: billier table, college, and a chair where we sit down with a person who is having some
[15:55] SPEAKER_02: out-of-the-scenes system disorders, or wishes to lose up to 100 pounds, or has a
[16:00] SPEAKER_02: digascular system disorders that just disorders. We talk about life. We talk about where
[16:08] SPEAKER_02: these people come from. What their habits are. What they ate that was wrong for their health.
[16:17] SPEAKER_02: So basically it's a self-learning journey based on the stories that I've heard from thousands
[16:23] SPEAKER_03: of people in Canada, anywhere else in the world. So your customer is your education?
[16:30] SPEAKER_03: Let's talk a little bit about what you do to balance work and work like balance. How do you
[16:36] SPEAKER_03: relax and not think about work? And what are your favorite activities to do here in BC? Do you ski,
[16:41] SPEAKER_03: do you bike, kayak, golf, hike, or simply go for a drive? Basically I go at four o'clock in the
[16:47] SPEAKER_02: morning. I come to my bakery. I live just four minutes away on a hill in south of Bernabé.
[16:54] SPEAKER_02: So this is my second home. Actually there's no difference between my home and the business.
[16:59] SPEAKER_02: I don't even feel that I'm coming to work. So I'll preheat my sauna, I infarate sauna, I'll
[17:05] SPEAKER_02: pre-make lemon water, and I go there for three, four hours. Basically I do sit-ups, I do dumbbells,
[17:13] SPEAKER_02: I watch news networks, financial news, I bring my phone wrapped in plastic. So it still works.
[17:24] SPEAKER_02: My emails, I talk to my clients in Toronto, in New York, little they know that I'm basically in the
[17:31] SPEAKER_02: sauna doing business. And then when I come out, my guys already are baking and making cookies and
[17:37] SPEAKER_02: bread and everything else. And then I go to the office produce packing slips and voices, talk to
[17:42] SPEAKER_02: buyers, et cetera, do the sales. So my life, whether it's in the sauna, whether it's in the office,
[17:50] SPEAKER_02: or in the store facing customers and asking them about life and health, it's quite diverse.
[17:58] SPEAKER_02: And whether it's 12 hour day or four hour day, we still complete everything that we need to
[18:03] SPEAKER_03: with the help of people that work with us. Here. Okay, if you are doing what you do now,
[18:10] SPEAKER_03: what would you like to do for a profession? Again, repeat that. If you weren't doing what you're
[18:20] SPEAKER_03: doing now at Red Square, what would you like to do for a profession? Something that's completely
[18:25] SPEAKER_02: different. What would it be? Well, basically my dream was to become a surgeon at the age of 16. So
[18:31] SPEAKER_02: unfortunately, due to some circumstances, it didn't come to for rotation. But now, basically, I am
[18:40] SPEAKER_02: an advisor to people to fix their health. So God somehow saved me from construction, took me out
[18:47] SPEAKER_02: of construction, put me into baking. And now I'm providing my products, power-flash products,
[18:55] SPEAKER_02: low carb keto, to obesity clinics in Toronto, to obesity clinics in British Columbia,
[19:02] SPEAKER_02: to companies like farmers say, and it's say, if somebody told me in 1979, when I came to Canada
[19:13] SPEAKER_02: that I'm going to be healing people with food, I would say, you're crazy. That's impossible.
[19:20] SPEAKER_02: So it's quite an interesting journey and a great karma that, whatever my dreams were when I was
[19:26] SPEAKER_02: 16 to become a doctor, I am helping people and saving lives right now with the products that I
[19:32] SPEAKER_03: lived in. I heard, yeah, I was heard listening to a podcast once and apparently doctors, surgeons
[19:41] SPEAKER_03: have, you know, 10 years of education plus, but realistically, they only spend like two weeks studying
[19:47] SPEAKER_03: food. Yes, that's really interesting. You know, you got 10 years of learning to be a doctor,
[19:54] SPEAKER_03: but two weeks of that is understanding food and what's good for the body, which is really
[19:58] SPEAKER_02: interesting, I think. Well, you see, you are what you eat. And a lot of our products are
[20:04] SPEAKER_02: nutraceutical. They have a lot of protein and we work with flux like nobody's business. It's the
[20:10] SPEAKER_02: best seed in the world, 5,000 years old, never been genetically modified. So power-flash predominantly
[20:15] SPEAKER_02: is made out of flux and has no flour. That's the required sugar in yeast oil fermentation,
[20:23] SPEAKER_02: just salt, water and yeast makes a perfect dough. We make bread out of it, cinnamon buns,
[20:30] SPEAKER_02: etc. with the best parameters, cookies, waffles. But when you eat our products, what happens with
[20:38] SPEAKER_02: your digestive system? It's got a lot of soluble and soluble fibers, so it cleans your
[20:43] SPEAKER_02: 80% of all sicknesses arise from that digestive system. God gave us a 36-foot long colon,
[20:53] SPEAKER_02: so a lot of biochemical processes happen there or don't happen. Some people are not pervious
[20:58] SPEAKER_02: to observe the vitamins and nutrients from the food being just. Most of the foods
[21:03] SPEAKER_02: distaste the Western cuisine. It's fast food. It has preservatives. It has a lot of fat. It has
[21:09] SPEAKER_02: no fiber. It has no negative 330 acid, so people deplete themselves of nutrients and develop a
[21:18] SPEAKER_02: lot of other immune system disorders, so it's not just hereditary. So we're privileged that we
[21:25] SPEAKER_02: utilize nutrition and educate people how to eat, how to think about your body as a high rise.
[21:32] SPEAKER_02: And if you have radicals and tenants living in your high rise and not paying your rent,
[21:37] SPEAKER_03: evict them, blash them out. Okay, in business, what is your favorite word, quote, or sentence that
[21:45] SPEAKER_03: you like to use? Basically, it's like this. If you save one life, you save the world.
[21:53] SPEAKER_03: Okay, unbelievable. And I've experienced it many times. Okay, what's your least favorite word
[22:00] SPEAKER_03: sentence you do not like to hear? What is the least word? Favorite word or sentence you don't like
[22:07] SPEAKER_03: to hear? Like, you come and see me next year. We're too busy. Okay, if you had to pick one or two
[22:16] SPEAKER_03: words to describe yourself, what would it be and why? Listen to. You're a listener. Yes. Okay,
[22:26] SPEAKER_03: that's how you listen to your customer. It's a good thing to know. Okay, anything that is keeping
[22:31] SPEAKER_02: you up at night? Yes, creativity. It's a nasty, nasty thing to have. Creativity. Creativity. Yes,
[22:43] SPEAKER_02: when you are creative type, when inventive type, and I have a very good vision, and I see a product,
[22:51] SPEAKER_02: or I see how it can help a human being, I will not sleep, I will create a recipe in my brain,
[22:58] SPEAKER_02: and the next morning, I'm going to execute it at the business. Okay, I want you to give us the top
[23:04] SPEAKER_03: three things on your inspired lifeless. This could be traveling more, philanthropy, writing a book
[23:09] SPEAKER_03: about yourself, your business, anything in particular that like you'd like to do beyond red square
[23:15] SPEAKER_03: for as an inspired lifeless. Go back to Russia. It's very simple. I mean, very simple. The best
[23:23] SPEAKER_02: things to do, of course, traveling is fun. Trying different cuisines is great, because there is
[23:31] SPEAKER_02: one common denominator that we all forgot, or we miss to rely on in the world. We may not agree
[23:39] SPEAKER_02: politically, but we always agree on great food. So it's nice to experience other people's foods,
[23:45] SPEAKER_02: and food is a vehicle of delivering love and compassion for a person that you've never met,
[23:54] SPEAKER_02: and if we share food and we enjoy it together, we can come to peace with everybody in the world.
[24:00] SPEAKER_02: So that's one of my passions is cooking, creating recipes, traveling, and of course,
[24:06] SPEAKER_02: saving the world and making the world better, saving the force, saving the animals, and just making
[24:15] SPEAKER_02: people to understand that your life can be taken away just like that by some healthy sort. So
[24:21] SPEAKER_02: value every day is a gift. Don't argue with your destiny. Destiny is given to us, and it's very
[24:28] SPEAKER_02: adverse and very different. Some people are lucky and the others, but don't cry over it. Reach out
[24:35] SPEAKER_02: and help somebody who is in much more need than you are today. That's what I wish for.
[24:41] SPEAKER_03: Kind of like saving the world one bite at a time. One life at a time. One bite at a time.
[24:47] SPEAKER_03: Oh, one bite? Yes, yeah. Let it be the healthiest bite in the world.
[24:52] SPEAKER_03: Yeah, come to Red Square. Okay.
[24:54] SPEAKER_03: Exactly. Do you have any advice that you may have received that you can pass on to
[25:00] SPEAKER_02: Panouar's throat Canada? Well, when I was 16 and one of my friends, he survived being in the
[25:09] SPEAKER_02: Lithuanian forest, skipping and hiding from German soldiers. And he gave me an advice that when
[25:19] SPEAKER_02: he found out we've got visas to immigrate from Lithuania, he spoke for languages. And he told me
[25:27] SPEAKER_02: Mark, I'm going to give you one key and how to become successful. If English language has 500,000
[25:34] SPEAKER_02: world, pretend each word we learn and memorize is a dollar in your bank account. It stuck with me.
[25:43] SPEAKER_02: So the better you communicate, the better you learn the language of the country you live in,
[25:49] SPEAKER_03: the more marketable you become. Okay, that's good for anyone, for people in Canada as well
[25:56] SPEAKER_03: as people that want to come to Canada. So I think that's a really good advice there.
[26:00] SPEAKER_03: Okay, Mark, you ready to have some fun? Yes. Okay. We're going to, as you know, you are a very busy
[26:07] SPEAKER_03: person. You have quite a schedule. Like you said, you start your mornings at 4 a.m.
[26:13] SPEAKER_03: And you're always working. But we want to take you away from all that. There's a small tropical
[26:17] SPEAKER_03: island just off of Fiji. It only has one phone booth there. There is no internet. This place does
[26:22] SPEAKER_03: exist. We're going to drop you off there on the boat. We won't, you won't have a computer
[26:27] SPEAKER_03: or smartphone or tablet. You can use the phone booth located there anytime to call the boat and
[26:32] SPEAKER_03: we'll come pick you up. How long would you last before you made that call? What would you do while you
[26:37] SPEAKER_02: were there? Well, put it this way. When you take communication away and you're alone with nature,
[26:44] SPEAKER_02: all you've got to do is go back to where you come from. I mean, your life is a miracle in itself.
[26:52] SPEAKER_02: Being together with trees, with water, being on the island, observing the birds,
[26:58] SPEAKER_02: is probably the best getaway, the best relaxation that somebody can give me. So I would cherish that
[27:06] SPEAKER_02: for as long as I can do you allow me to stay on the island. Providing I have some food if I don't
[27:12] SPEAKER_03: have some food. Oh, yeah, you have food. They're just aware of that. That's perfect.
[27:17] SPEAKER_03: No, I'll be happy. No red square. You'll get the
[27:22] SPEAKER_02: square nothing because you see when I'm in my own dwelling called my own brain, my own thinking,
[27:30] SPEAKER_02: it is part of that new rejuvenation of new beginning. You become younger. You become stronger.
[27:38] SPEAKER_02: And I'll be exercising on the island during pushups, sit-ups, etc. So I'll find a way
[27:46] SPEAKER_02: or swimming in a cold ocean because I love cold water. It tempers my spirit, my character,
[27:52] SPEAKER_02: and makes me a strong believer that future is hot and bright. So we'll be waiting there for a
[27:59] SPEAKER_03: couple weeks, I suspect. That's fine. A couple weeks, we'll get the call. Sure, but I have to
[28:06] SPEAKER_03: alert my wife that that's what I am. You can bring her with you. There you go. Okay, Mark.
[28:12] SPEAKER_03: Your flight. We're going to wrap things up here. How can our listeners get hold of you?
[28:17] SPEAKER_03: Is there anything you'd like to add before you leave us today? All they have to do is google red
[28:23] SPEAKER_02: square bakery and work a naked establishment. And if they have problems, they can just
[28:29] SPEAKER_02: phone us and we'll solve them. And there's no charge for consultation. They can just come walking,
[28:35] SPEAKER_02: driving, riding to the bakery, announce that they're coming and we'll discuss it.
[28:42] SPEAKER_02: And we'll give them the regiment. One of the regiment is just eating a lot of fiber,
[28:48] SPEAKER_02: 10 cups of water with lemon juice. You can eat the car, you can still lose the weight,
[28:53] SPEAKER_02: or keto-jennied beautiful regiment for people with other immune system disorders. So if
[28:59] SPEAKER_02: somebody is suffering with cancer, diabetes, Crohn's colliders are replaced. They better come
[29:05] SPEAKER_02: here and start sampling our products or using them in their in their daily regiment.
[29:11] SPEAKER_03: And I guess if they live in Ontario or Alberta, they can get your products as well, right?
[29:16] SPEAKER_02: They can get our products and I'm very nutrition-hate, obesity clinics,
[29:20] SPEAKER_02: go see Dr. Poon. He's very knowledgeable, published three books,
[29:25] SPEAKER_02: local grocery, that's an online retailer sells our products. So our products are available in
[29:32] SPEAKER_02: Canada. Or they can just order from us some non-perishable kushik to Canada post as well.
[29:38] SPEAKER_03: Awesome. Okay, Mark, thanks for coming on the show. I've learned a lot about you and I'm sure
