Transcript excerpt

Yesterday, I told the world that I'm changing the chocolate industry forever. And thousands of you guys blew that post up more than I ever could have imagined. So today, I'm starting a new mission. I wanna become the number one most followed chocolate brand on Instagram. Because the only way to prove to these billion dollar chocolate companies that we deserve healthier chocolate is by beating them where everyone can see it. But instead of just telling you to follow me, I wanna earn it. So here's my promise. I'm gonna show you everything. The failures, the mistakes, the days I wanna quit, but also the days where we win. You'll see how tier gut gets made, how we get into stores, and how we'll work better day to become the first healthier chocolate company in a hundred forty years. And if you join now, you're officially part of the group taking this on from the very beginning. So follow, because this is the moment to see a 22 year old build a chocolate company in real time. And worst case, you can always unfollow later.
