01:41 Ever since before, I was a kid
01:45 I sleep early
01:47 I wake up early
01:49 Other people, sleep for them
01:51 not a priority
01:53 I can't function properly
01:55 [speaking in Tagalog]
01:57 I'm used to not moving my phone
01:59 when I enter the room
02:01 Even when I enter my room
02:05 there's no TV
02:07 When I enter, that room is just for sleeping
02:09 [speaking in Tagalog]
02:13 Athletic
02:15 [laughing]
02:17 [speaking in Tagalog]
02:19 Athletic
02:21 [speaking in Tagalog]
02:23 You want to utilize your body properly
02:27 So, you train
02:29 then you join
02:31 the training mindset
02:33 and process
02:35 You know, your weight became manageable
02:37 and then I had to eat properly
02:39 so that I can be faster
02:41 stronger
02:43 That's where the mindset went
02:45 But, eventually
02:47 when we had Ia's child
02:49 we thought, all the more
02:51 you want to live longer
02:53 and you want to show them
02:55 not just tell them, but show to them
02:57 what our lifestyle is
02:59 so that they can adapt
03:01 [speaking in Tagalog]
03:03 [speaking in Tagalog]
03:05 [speaking in Tagalog]
03:07 We started as a business partner
03:09 with Javi
03:11 At that time, we were in the middle of a triathlon
03:13 so, our training was very serious
03:15 We were together almost everyday
03:17 So, one bicycle ride
03:21 we thought
03:23 what product
03:25 we can make
03:27 that is fast to sell
03:29 and affordable
03:31 if you're going to a running store
03:33 or bike shop or whatever sport shop
03:35 for P395
03:37 per pair
03:39 very affordable, and it will change your look
03:41 especially if you're going to run
03:43 or cycling
03:45 We thought, Vamos is the brand
03:47 Javi is Spanish
03:49 Vamos means let's go
03:51 Vamos!
03:53 I like Vamos
03:55 That's where it started
03:57 We got P20,000
03:59 per initial capital investment
04:01 P20,000 each
04:03 So, P40,000
04:05 We just kept on going
04:07 We just hyped up on social media
04:09 We took pictures
04:11 Limited edition
04:13 Because of social media
04:15 Social media became your main tool
04:17 Absolutely
04:19 That's the main form of advertising
04:21 You didn't have a physical store
04:23 We didn't think of having a physical store
04:27 because for us
04:29 this is not our main business
04:31 It's better to have a side line
04:33 Let's see if it will grow
04:35 Their sales of their shoes
04:37 was a success
04:39 and they earned a lot from this
04:41 So, they thought of other products
04:43 that they can sell
04:45 and then eventually, your husband
04:47 was also involved
04:49 We don't have a choice
04:51 I'll just take it
04:53 But if there are sportswear
04:55 for guys
04:57 Of course, there are for women
04:59 Our wives also train
05:01 Of course
05:03 So, we thought
05:05 "Make your own for women"
05:07 We don't know what you feel
05:09 That's where it started
05:11 They are also friends
05:13 who served as models for their products
05:15 The business started as a side line
05:17 10 years ago
05:19 and now, it's February
05:21 Vamos has its own warehouse and office
05:23 Vamos also has a store
05:25 selling their products
05:27 But their main way of selling
05:29 is still online
05:31 And now, they are not just selling
05:33 for men or women
05:35 They also have for kids
05:37 We just keep on creating
05:39 new products
05:41 For example, we made affordable shades
05:43 that have a good grip
05:45 So, if you can see
05:47 you can actually run
05:49 using these
05:51 because it's still attached
05:53 It's not your typical sports shades
05:55 that are like that
05:57 At least, it's still very stylish
05:59 And because
06:01 it's only P750
06:03 My friends think
06:05 that I buy expensive shades
06:07 But I don't buy expensive shades anymore
06:09 because if I lose my shades
06:11 then this is the one
06:13 Do you also consider the affordability
06:15 of the product?
06:17 100%
06:19 I'm the CEO of a huge
06:21 international company
06:23 wearing our brands
06:25 And then, at the same time
06:27 Kuya Guard
06:29 wants to spend
06:31 a hat that's
06:33 P495
06:35 He can do that
06:37 Do you have a business mind?
06:39 Do you have a business?
06:41 Where did you get the inspiration
06:43 to put up business?
06:45 My mother's side
06:47 is a business woman
06:49 Very sharp
06:51 She's a farmer
06:53 but she's the one who
06:55 started their business
06:57 in farming
06:59 But I think, I don't know
07:01 I took up marketing management
07:03 So, I guess that kind of helped also
07:05 Then, my first job was an account manager
07:07 in an advertising agency
07:09 So, I guess that also
07:11 worked or added to
07:13 my entrepreneurial mindset
07:15 So, what are your tips
07:17 to our fellow housemates
07:19 planning to put up business
07:21 whatever kind of business
07:23 It's all about the investment
07:25 and the trust of your partner
07:27 How you guys work together
07:29 That's a big thing in business
07:31 Do you believe that you need to be hands-on?
07:33 Order fulfillment, we do that
07:35 All the way bills
07:37 we do all of that
07:39 Every night
07:41 How do you balance your work-life?
07:43 They don't know that I have a twin brother
07:45 So, in the meantime
07:47 You?
07:49 [laughs]
07:51 Is there? Wait, maybe they don't know
07:53 No, no, no
07:55 I've always believed in working smart
07:57 not working hard
07:59 That's why
08:01 my priority is time
08:03 You're particular about time
08:05 When I have a call, it's 11 o'clock
08:07 or 5 am, I'll be there before 5 am
08:09 I mean, for me, it's
08:11 time is my currency
08:13 There's nothing like
08:15 giving yourself
08:17 to the kids
08:19 They know that you're there
08:21 That's a big thing
08:23 My dad gave me time
08:25 just being there
08:27 It's natural for me to
08:29 give the same time that my dad gave to me
08:31 How do you balance
08:33 everything? You're working
08:35 and you have a business
08:37 You're athletic like Drew
08:39 If you have a proper routine
08:41 proper sleep, training regimen
08:43 what you eat
08:45 simplicity of life
08:47 I'm a humble person
08:49 I can laugh
08:51 Humor plays a very important part
08:53 I guess, us as a couple
08:55 So, don't take
08:57 things too seriously then
08:59 I guess
09:01 Drew's 24 hours are worth it
09:03 for his family, work, hobbies
09:05 and even for his business
09:07 Because of the right balance of time
09:09 he's a witness to all of these
