I'm sorry if I insulted you. Some of us know this guy before he had a store, when he was just a whiny you-tuber with more money than sense. There seems to be a coterie of people determined to bankroll him in that pursuit; I'm not one of them.
All good, no insults.
It's a touchy subject for me personally, although not necessarily OG related or specific. This is not directed at you, rather a theme I have noticed over many years. I learnt a long time ago to not question a person's worth or what they charge to make a living, because unless you are working for or with that person, you have no idea what goes into what they sell or the effort they put into their work.
For example, its common to complain about plumbers being expensive and that they are laughing all the way to the bank. And yet the amount they charge per hour is not what they take home, a lot of it pays for tools, running costs, admin fees........................and keep in mind, they are the one getting dirty unblocking your toilet.
Or, the extremely weather guy who once told me I was charging him too much mowing his huge lawn for $50 a week, telling me that what I do is "not rocket science". And yet, who calls me on a Sunday morning asking what to spray his roses with to kill the aphids? Apparently not the rocket scientist.
To me, as a product, the Mirka kind of speaks for itself. In fact, it's been around for far longer than OG have been selling it, it's rather that he picked it up and started to market the thing to detailers that we are now talking about it.
It's funny though, you mention Matt pre-OG store. Watching some of his earlier videos, there were a lot of uncredited people getting stuck into various on-camera detailing projects, basically doing work for free. This was before he was employing a lot of people. My question is, where are those people now? As you say, they helped build his empire in a volunteering role.
