Lyrics & Translation

[English]

what's up you guys it's Graham here and

I'm on a mission to find the most unique

ways to make money and today I think I

found it hi my name is Josh I'm 21 years

old my girlfriend Cara and I make $2,500

a day running a Doggy Daycare zumies is

a dog boarding and daycare facility um

so what we do is we keep dogs overnight

um when parents are going on vacation

and then we also do daycare so if

parents are going to work and they don't

want their pups to stay at home by

themselves all day they get to play with

friends how did you come up with the

idea for zoom

my dad and I had been talking about

starting a business forever and I love

dogs I've always loved dogs just sorry I

just hit the camera my German Shepherd's

my baby I got her when I was when I

turned 15 so we just kind of winged it

and hoped for the best and we knew that

there was a demand cuz when we moved

here there was nothing for our dogs we

didn't really feel comfortable

everywhere was very uh very like

commercialized and we wanted to be like

a home style very personal all right

right when you walk in you walk into

this really white room so we painted

white on purpose just to make it really

inviting and make it seem very clean too

cuz you walk right in and then we don't

have a desk so we have this thing where

we're standing so we can really interact

with the dogs so like we don't we don't

sit behind a desk we get down with the

dogs and we pet them and we get to be

more personable with the customer

instead of just being like a face behind

a desk then as we come back this is

where the dogs will just be running

through this

hallway hi hi hi hi hi hey come here

come here oh there we have five

grandchildren and we have B and I have

more pictures on my phone of B than I do

my grandchild I know that sounds bad

tell them that I think they know these

are the executive suites so these are

all like 4T x 6 ft and these are where

the bigger dogs stay all the dogs names

are right here on the top left so this

dog's name is tip okay um whenever they

have this black name instead of a red

name that means they're in group play so

we'll get to play with them outside oh I

can't wait what was the cost of the

buildout of doing something like this

basically every room you see is like

2,000 so it's just however many we have

which we have like 20 so it's whatever

whatever that is so this is about

$40,000 worth of roughly so what type of

person spends it could be you know

hundreds of dollars a month on a Doggy

Daycare like this yeah so people that

work a lot they want their dog to be

outside they want their dog socialized

as well as if you're just uh maybe a

senior citizen and you want to go play

Bingo or something you can give us your

dog and we'll socialize them they'll be

tired when they get home there's a lot

of benefits of doggy day here they look

forward to coming so because I'm busy

doing the day it keeps them exercise

they eat the staff is very caring I'm

very pleased did that sound corny oh no

that was it's all true I need a break so

they're going to stay here with their

second family was that good

enough did I say any poor grammar you

know I'm from New Orleans you sure you

didn't hear any poor grammar in there

cuz we refilm it so we tried to make

this a really high-end like luxury

experience for the owners and the dogs

so the glass fronts really reduced this

stress they aren't just looking through

a wire it's way cleaner because we don't

have to clean between every wire so we

just get to wipe down the glass sanitize

it keeps everything really really

hygienic you don't want sicknesses going

around kennel cough is a huge thing so

we do the most with cleaning each room

has a bunch of these filters here these

are all UVC lighting it kills all the

germs it's just one of those extra steps

we take additional to just cleaning

purifies the air we just replace these

filters monthly and it kills all the

germs so when did you first get

interested in business at 16 I started

mobile detailing out of my car and that

was like my Gateway into it and then my

senior year of high school I was really

into video games all of high school so I

started a video game YouTube channel

built that thing up uh to like 80,000

subscribers before we moved so how much

money did you make from that like I

think lifetime earnings is like 44,000

why not continue that cuz it seems like

if you could make 40 something thousand

in high school doing that you could

easily have made hundreds of thousands

of dollars yeah YouTube was really

lonely I would just sit in the room all

day play video games edit when I did

stuff with video games I started not

liking video games anymore so it was

like my hobby or whatever at the time I

started hating it because it became my

job this might be a good thing just like

show you how to get out the door yeah

okay go for it so like whenever you're

getting out this door you want to

position yourself so you could just slip

right through or else you're going to

have dogs just like running between your

feet so you got to go really fast or

else you're going to have like 10 dogs

inside really yes so are you ready so

this area is medium to small dog area so

it's it's really just for dogs like

under like 40 lb because it's not huge

but it's all shaded with this huge

tree it's all fenced in all of our

fences are 6 ft tall so the dogs can't

get out obviously not no one tries but

if they did try they couldn't they can't

this is cayenna uh kayen is one of our

sassiest little babies here she loves to

talk and give us her little ruse and

Ruby is probably a fan favorite here at

zumies uh she is such an angel she loves

every single person every single dog she

meets as soon as she meets you she will

run up to you with the most Wiggly tail

ever she's our little wiggle Girl by the

way you probably didn't notice this but

a lot of the shots filmed in this video

are filmed with the brand new OnePlus

open who's sponsoring today's video

they've recently released their first

foldable phone which is one of the

lightest devices in the category making

it really easy to work with in just

about any condition in fact they're

setting the standard for lightness in

the industry with a foldable phone that

weighs just like the best-selling iPhone

Pro Max and features a compact slim

durable body that holds great in the

hand even when you're multitasking I've

been using this throughout the day and

it's been incredibly easy to use it's

very durable extremely slim fits easily

in your pocket and there's patented

crease minimalism so that you could open

and close it without worrying about

functionality I've also really been

enjoying the filming capabilities of

this camera so just keep an eye out for

it throughout the video how did you get

the money to start it up and how much

was involved yeah so right when we moved

here I bought a van cuz my initial thing

was I wanted to do pressure washing soft

washing of houses so I bought that van

we painted it ourselves we did like

spray cans and whatnot and then we ended

up selling it once this building came up

for sale cuz my dad was like hey do you

want to do that business we've always

been talking about and I was like

absolutely so we sold that van Cara sold

her car at the time so she didn't have a

car anymore uh we were unemployed we

just went for it so it was really a leap

of faith at that time and it's really

been just a journey ever since we opened

a year and a half ago how involved is

Cara in the business Cara's more

involved than I am at this point she's

here almost every day cuz she just loves

the customer so so much where I'm more

on the back end just doing the marketing

and whatnot so she decided also not to

go to college she actually took the leap

of faith with me she put that trust in

me and belief in me which I'm forever

grateful for and she just fully came on

board and me and her ran this thing just

us for the first I would say four months

why do you think she took that leap of

faith I think you would have to ask her

how often do you eat here

once a week at least yeah probably at

least once a week not more we met in

high school in an AP government class

her best friend was the twins with my

best friend so we always just like ran

into each other got to know each other

and started dating so I talked to Josh

first and I made it my mission for him

to be my best friend so anytime we would

see each other I would run up crazy

enthusias like probably over the top too

much and I was like oh my gosh hey best

friend like speaking into existence

basically until he finally talked back

to me you cannot tell but Josh in high

school was very shy and reserved so it

took a lot it took a lot to break into a

shell he looked like he wanted to run

away from me anytime I would run up to

him but eventually we got there my

parents worked together and I was very

skeptical about working with a

significant other I'll be honest we had

a lot of conversation about it but I

don't think it could go any better than

it does um we definitely both have our

roles and they work seamlessly together

I think that we make a really good pair

and partnership do you ever get tired of

The Barking no I mean I just go to sleep

and I just hear barking in my dreams and

that's really like that's really our

life just barking and dogs so it doesn't

get to us hey guys hey guys hey hi I

actually really like this I don't know

about the poop and the slobber are the

two things for me it's a little iffy but

seems like a very happy place to work

how often do you step in dog poop daily

every time every time every

time a lot every day it's every day

probably every day oh oh did I step

in gosh I thought I was going to

outsmart you on that one whatever this

is probably the not so nice part about

this I'm not going to poop just the

smell of it the texture of it the

thought of it just just

like really makes me gag how did you get

your first client we started going

around to condos hotels uh HOAs and just

handing out brochures just trying to get

people in the door I would say the first

week it was probably me and Cara and

like maybe a dog or two that first week

was really really slow and then we just

picked up picked up went from 1 to 5 to

10 and then some days we're at like 30

40 and it was it just picked up to the

point where we needed to start hiring

people and that was a crazy yeah I drove

by and I saw the sign I was like oh my

God that's such a cute name so I Googled

them and I think we were probably in

like the first week like the first

customers not first customers but like

in that first week so when they create

their profiles they have a little space

where they let us know how they found us

most say Word of Mouth Facebook and then

Google reviews um so even if we're not

at the very top of that search engine

they look at our reviews and we do have

the highest reviews in the county right

now so this is the bag we give everyone

for tours so it comes in like a little

like we tried to inspire it by like the

Lulu

B so this has all the pricing front and

back it's actually a good price

unlimited daycare

$250 that's 20 visits per month really

good price it's a really good price and

a lot of people take advantage of it it

was like our grand opening price and we

haven't we haven't changed it yet but I

feel like that's way too low it's like

$12 a day

yeah not a lot of people use every

single day so it's kind of like a gym

model in that sense but we will probably

raise that that was just for grand

opening just to get people in cuz the

daycare really fuels the boarding as

well people that use us for daycare when

they go out of town they're going to use

us for boarding as well who is your

first employee so our first employee

he's not with us anymore but he's not

dead I need to not say that how do I say

he's not working here anymore so our

first employee he's not working here

anymore he was just this random door

Dash driver he you have a bug on your

tooth I to too

our first employee was just just a

door Dash driver that was delivering for

us he came in and he was like this is

awesome can I work here and I was like

sure cuz we needed help it was right

before 4th of July we opened in May so

our first employee was the 4th of July

and he came on just for a couple days

here in there and he really just helped

us get through that holiday and then he

ended up doing his own thing so he's not

with us anymore he's alive he just

doesn't work here he doesn't work here

anymore yes correct these are all the

dogs that are checked in for the day

this is the daycare side and then this

is the boarding side so there's always

more borders at the facility at least at

ours than daycare daycare is going to be

just daytime mostly play from 7: to 6:00

so that's going to be in the yards with

other dogs the overnight care is our

boarding side so they have their own

accommodations where they sleep eat go

about their daily routines and have that

special time like you would have at home

where they have their own place to lay

their head at night really use like a

hotel it's like a you have room service

and then you check out you turn it over

for anyone yeah exactly and that's kind

of what we wanted it to be like it's

very cool yeah it's a dog cot this these

are from Canda the brand and they're

really they they're like bulletproof so

dogs can chew on them all day uh the

rooms are all 4x6 and then the bed takes

up like probably a fourth of the room so

they get all that space two dogs can

comfortably sit on this bed which is

awesome what point was the business

making enough money that you realize

like wait a second this could be

something big I would say probably at

the six Monon Mark is when we started

seeing that because we were full almost

every weekend uh we had employees we

couldn't keep up we were just we were

just having to hire people and hire

people and hire people and then we ran

out of space so we decided we have to

expand or we had to go get another

location which we chose to uh expand but

then it's just the community started

just tooting us up we won the best of

bay which is like a little award thing

here um our Google reviews started

shooting up our Facebook reviews and

people really showed that they like the

brand so we just had to keep we have to

keep going for that you have to be so on

top of everything cuz if you if you mess

up one thing it could be like if you

forget to medicate a dog for example

it's like if you don't keep charts and

you don't keep organized you could

really like mess something up like you

have to you have to not just be in it

because you like dogs you have to be in

it because you're organized you like the

people you like the dogs you have to

like every aspect of it not just dogs a

lot more to it all right Graham it's

time to do a bath so we're going to be

doing s's bath he's a big doodle so

we're gonna want to put an apron on so

we don't get wet yeah you don't have to

get his face we can wash his face by

hand yeah oh we got this oh my

God so far this is really nice uh it's

an easy bath but then again I'm getting

an easy dog I would imagine if it were

like a little little one who's maybe a

little feisty would not be as easy as

this guy

oh oh gosh so how many washes do you

usually do in a day uh on it depends on

the day like a day where there's a lot

of checkouts and boarding we might do 10

10 in a day really so you got to yeah

this bathtub stays occupied pretty much

at all times just do like three sprays

boom boom boom this just don't get in

his eyes I actually really like this and

I can search for the cheapest place to

buy it online but Graham how the OnePlus

op open canvas is powered by Google's

Android software for foldable

smartphones with this technology you can

view three applications simultaneously

when the device is unfolded an

experience that even Apple's IOS doesn't

offer plus when I'm in the middle of

something with the larger screen I able

to easily multitask and use apps like

Google Lens to search for a product and

then I could buy it in seconds without

losing my place on the screen it

honestly feels like I have a mini

desktop right here in my hand I also

really like that if you're on a break

and you just want to relax for a little

bit you can watch YouTube in a proper

size that's not on a tiny little screen

like this makes it so enjoyable and then

if you want to comment it's so easy all

the comments are right here at the

bottom of the screen what are you doing

with the money that you're making from

here because it's a substantial amount

every month how much do you live off of

we don't take anything we take I think

it's after tax $7.90 a week so we take

just a little bit just enough to pay our

expenses cuz we just want to grow the

business and get more locations and make

more impact on everyone in different

communities as well and that's split

between the both of you yeah 790 between

us both less than $400 a week each yeah

we live comfortable it's we don't really

notice it we get to do what we want to

do and you know we've got a car that

gets us from point A to point B we love

our house our dogs are happy and

comfortable so as long as we're comfy

doesn't really matter how much it's

hitting the ACT our bank account we're

pretty much full every single weekend so

we decided we either need to make a new

store or renovate back here so this is

our old big dog yard that we're walking

into and it's becoming another new

building which is going to be about

double the size of the building we were

in all day they just finished the block

and they're framing next week and it's

probably going to be about two more

months until we're done with it this is

massive yeah what 4,000 ft yeah 3,800

roughly I'm close I'm good I got to say

you are close I had no idea so they're

going to connect all the concrete up and

it's just going to be like one seamless

integration there and so how many dogs

could you fit back here we're going to

add 40 of those nicer sweets so it's all

going to be the nice ones instead of the

condo ones okay so that'll add 32 of

those and then we're adding eight new

rooms I'm really excited for the

expansion I think that's going to be

awesome my dogss will be the first ones

to get to watch the TV in the new doggy

room so what do you mean TV in the new

doggy room yeah TV in the new doggy room

so yeah Stony loves Netflix is there

actually going to be a TV and yes this

is my first time hearing about this so

what is this there's a TV in so there's

supposed to be like a new condo coming

for I have two like 100 lb dogs so um

it's supposed to be like a new Executive

Suite and they have like their own

little personal doggy TVs and my dogs

like love TV so yeah it's going to be

awesome and so what are their favorite

shows what do they like watching um

Stony likes dog YouTube he likes

watching like little weenie

dogs play on YouTube he does yeah but

I've heard dogs love Bluey so we might

try that out Bluey it's like the current

kids show really yeah yeah it's like you

know what Peppa Pig is okay well me

either um I've never seen Peppa Pig why

put TVs in it that seems a little bougie

a little excessive it is bie but it's a

good background sound dogs they feel

more at home like maybe they don't watch

the TV per se dogs might but for the

most part if they just have that sound

they'll feel like they're on the couch

at home so it's like it's a little bit

of comfort level it's a little bit of

yeah it could be gimmicky yet in in a

sense but then what's this going to be

here so these two doors are leading out

to playards so this is going to be the

large dog yard out here just say like a

fence is going to be like here for

example yeah and then the small yard

will be here and we'll also have indoor

playroom so when it rains when it's hot

when it's cold it doesn't really get

cold here but I was wondering wondering

what you do when it rains when it rains

we run every dog inside and just hope

for the best really and it's not fun

that's why we did this really do you

ever worry about maybe like not filling

this up with enough I'm not worried

about it because we're so full and we

have to turn away like 15 20 people some

weekends like the holiday weekend so

it's like I don't doubt that we're going

to fill it up and we could even fill up

this and that would be awesome we have

the best customers ever here at zumies

they are so supportive and we would do

anything for them you can ask them

anything and they'll let you know

everybody seems to love our dog so I

mean he's excited to come here Josh one

of the owners showed us around he showed

us the kennels the Playard he explained

everything he explained the prices so I

was really excited because I have two

puppies yeah and how do they like it

here they love it they look forward to

coming they send an email every day with

three pictures a little demeanor happy

miss mommy needed hugs and two to five

sentences I mean it's just it's just

something you know you miss them and you

want to make sure they're happy and this

place makes them happy how did you come

up with the report card that gets sent

every evening cuz that was something we

would want like what would we want with

our dogs we want to know what's going on

like if if something happens I want to

know who he who my dog played with that

day or like a picture of my dog even

would do wonders and not a lot of places

do that or they charge you for it we

just include it with every boarding

guest just because it's so important to

us so during the day in the playards

while dogs are enjoying group play and

participating in play with their friends

we send out and take pictures for daily

reports and then these go home to their

parents at the end of the night between

6:00 and 7:00 and these are sent to our

overnight borders hip had a great day

playing with her friends her best friend

was Marlo and then we'll scroll past she

didn't have any health notes or concerns

and then we upload our picture for the

day

and there it is and that will be sent

home to her mom shows her a happy nice

smiling face looks like she enjoyed her

day and then we just press create and it

sends on over what are your thoughts

about running a business with somebody

you're not married to yet at the end of

the day marriage is just a legal

agreement you can have any kind of

agreement that you want I think you just

have to have full trust at that point in

your significant other he trusts me I

trust him um and I would say if you're

married maybe that's just kind of a

safety net that is making you feel

better um but anything can change in the

blink of an eye so I feel 100%

comfortable not being married are there

plans in the future

maybe what's your advice for any other

young entrepreneurs out there who might

want to do something similar uh take the

leap of

faith hold on I got to say more than

that yeah

I got to say a little more I got to say

a little more than that take the leap

yeah jump off my thoughts overall it's

it's really impressive it's a really

good business my biggest concern is

possibly scaling this and building it up

in another community that you don't live

in full time and then I'm worried

splitting your time between locations

means that you're going to get less

FaceTime here it seems as though a lot

of your customers come here for you guys

I mean obviously you're in a great

business but like they love you I think

regardless they come and they want to

see your faces they want to talk to you

and they love the service so replicating

that somewhere else I think is going to

be the biggest challenge oh my other

criticism I think you could raise prices

so I know your customers probably don't

want to hear that I'm sorry you know

what my favorite part of the day was the

photos that the OnePlus open took they

were so good and look how big it is it's

bigger than

yours oh and by the way I just want to

say that this has been my first full day

of using the OnePlus open Non-Stop and I

have to say it's held up incredibly well

the front cover cover screen has a

ceramic guard that's 20% more resistant

than rectus glass the main display has

an anti-reflection screen protector it's

drop tested from 1 and 1/2 m test folded

400,000 times and that means it's good

for 100 folds a day for the next 10

years which realistically I'm never even

coming close to even in such a chaotic

environment where the dogs are jumping

on me constantly the phone performed

beautifully and the video I mean just

take a look at this we've also been

using the portrait mode to take photos

of the dogs at the end of the day for

the report card and they came out in I

love even just opening up in front of

people and having them look at it and

just seeing their faces and their

reactions are really cool so again the

link is down below in the description

get one for yourself enjoy thank you so

much and until next time
