“I wasn’t quite sure how involved [Wahlberg] would be or how passionate he’d be about the boring stuff, you know, the nuts and bolts of the day-to-day, “But he’s had an incredible passion for that,” Wahlberg added, “All the things that I’m involved with, I mean, I’m really involved. I’m not endorsing these products, you know — I either started the company or bought into the company.”
The actor further shared that during the pandemic, he invested a hefty amount of money into his business, as they lost financing,
“Things unfolded, we lost the financing, but everybody [had] left their jobs to start the brand. And then it got real. Everybody had to put their hand in their pocket and start writing checks.”
