Andrew Sabbatino 1:16
You did. Thank you, Josh. Perfect.
Joshua Chin 1:19
Now Andrew runs a couple of things. And he’s got a long history in the ecommerce world, starting at age 11, when he first started selling physical products. We’ll talk a little about that when we get started. But today, he runs a business building funnels for creators. And he heads up the email and SMS division for an amazing mastermind called the PowerHouse Mastermind alongside Josh from Snow Teeth Whitening and Los. And we’ll talk a little bit about that experience as well. And before that, Andrew was DCOO, and I guess you basically let the team from what where was the revenue at with sale, Safe Life Defense, when you first started out, Andrew, and you took that business from where you started to 50 million in revenue a year in just five years time. That’s not a long a lot of time. For I mean, in most businesses, but ecommerce, that can be a long time. So tell us a little bit about let’s start there. 50 million a year in revenue. That’s a feat that not many ecommerce entrepreneurs can claim. What was that? Like over the past? Five years?
Andrew Sabbatino 2:47
Yeah. So I mean, when that business started out, my friend, Nick actually started that business. And he had started in a garage. He had no experience in ecommerce. He had just kind of seen some my successes before with Amazon FBA. And he kind of started getting interested in and he was running like a service based industry here in Las Vegas, doing stuff with like clubs during like club promotions and stuff. So he had started the company. And I came in maybe a couple months after it had started and started helping out there. And basically, I mean, it was started in a garage, we had this like little crappy office that we got, it was like 800 bucks a month or something like that tiny little warehouse. Like the air conditioning didn’t work well. And from that little office, that business is now in 139,000 square foot building. Wow. Yeah.

And now it’s Safe Life Defense for people listening skills, body armors and technical gear. I’m definitely not not familiar in that in that space. And I never thought that this was a sector in the industry that could go direct to consumer. Tell me a little bit about the business model and why that works in the first place.
Andrew Sabbatino 3:57
Yeah, so I didn’t know much about that industry or really anything at all, when we got started and needed a deck really he just started researching our zone. And he was really good at product development. That was his skill set. That’s why the company was able to like release such cool products and we were able to like kind of grow at such a massive scale on that end because we had good innovative products. But it’s direct to consumer because there’s a lot of underserved pieces of that market. Most people would be think that like a police officer is going to be given their armor like their their bulletproof vests. And most time that’s actually not the case they have to purchase it themselves. And then there’s all kinds of other sub sectors like security, EMS, firefighters and other people that do want armor or have to have it for the job that their companies don’t provide it for them. So we actually were like one of the first brands to go like direct to consumer on Facebook with that on the only like one other brand air 500 which has also been super successful. They just saw a different type of armor.
Joshua Chin 4:56
That that’s incredible. So you’re you’re not selling to civility, civilians. And you’re mostly selling to professionals, people who actually need on a daily basis.
