Dollar Shave Club

fast clips, funny moments, easter egg,

How could we go hard at the establishment and create a villian?

BROLL SHOTS WHILE SPEAKING

→ Drive up incredibly fast in a ferrari… run over a small business owner cleaning windows… like Pinks.

→ Screech car down opens… I walk out… dressed up in a skirt suit and sky high heels and too much makeup and all the labels → Label on the parking image says → Boring Business Queen

Do you remember when we used to think companies like Blackrock actually cared about us and didn’t secretly want to own everything? (as I walk out of the car) Ha that was funny. (turn to second camera) Oh, hi. I’m Codie Sanchez, CEO and Boring Biz Queen at Contrarian Thinking. (keep walking) I used to work in private equity. (keep walking) (walk into office → intern standing there → clear throat- text plz fix) I Learned a lot about buying and selling businesses and loved it. (That’s before I realized they were slowly murdering all our favorite companies (paint gun and shoot it at a Drybar logo - place sucks now), Neiman Marcus (shoot it at logo - needless markup), Toys R Us (literally dead now). (Walking past lindsey at the table she stands up with a taylor swift shirt on to hand me a friendship bracelet) Hell the guys even took Taylors music hostage… (cut in a taylor sound bite). Going after MOTHER is just too much, am I right? (show bracelet that says not today satan) (keep walking throughout video)

They own all our businesses, businesses started by everyday Americans who don’t really want all of America to look like one giant strip mall (hand me a hard hat and a workbelt) with a centralized digital currency run by these guys (show creepy WEF guys). (look back at camera cringe)

So I left the place because I think local people in their local communities should actually own their business… (flash to me getting hair and makeup)(I know crazy idea). Your damn right we believe in ownership not asking permission to rent everything from the big guy.

And it’s not just PE. Venture capital raised hundreds of billions of dollars… and then laid off employees in record numbers since 2020. Guess those fuseball tables, slack lines, and free lunches were actually NOT FREE. (actually show people in the background doing these activities)

So I say you stop working for people who… make you jump through more hoops than a show dog (show babar jumping through hoops in the off. If cubicles, tracking software, chains to desk, zoom fatigue and corporate beaucratic woke nonsense is getting you too…

Buy a business with us at Bizscout instead.

What’s Bizscout… our new marketplace for buying and selling small businesses. (show her on a platter being handed to me with angelic music)

Hmmm she’s a beauty eh> But Codie… you know average americans are too dumb, poor and incapable to buy or sell their businesses without Wall Street, corporate overlords or $60k a year University degrees. ( How do I know… oh I ran into a recent graduate from Harvard whose never bought a business but of course told me exactly how it “should be done.” Thanks Brad. We got this. (walking on a college campus with a guy wearing a harvard shirt)

Now I want to be clear that buying a business on Bizscout won’t mean ferrari’s, fast cash, sipping pina coladas on a beach while your mailbox money flows in (insert footage of tai lopez esque thing). But it could mean you never work for someone who hates you again.

So who buys businesses on Bizscout. Oh I don’t know. How about brilliant CEOs? How about former Special Forces vets? Entrepreneurs. I mean actually none of those guys have yet because we just launched it but imagine how much more American they’d be if they had. Which counts, right?

(show me talking into a ring light setup) YOu’re probably now wondering if this is just another youtube video some influencer uses to fake launch something (do it for the views!)… well - it is a launch video. (kick over the ring light) But actually it’s real.

And candidly all those other business listing services suck (show fake nonsense businesses up). It’s ALMOST LIKE THEY don’t even want you to buy a business. Hmmmmmmm.
