Host: The energy drink game is competitive right now. I mean, we got Canelo, Tyson Fury, and we got the Paul brothers. How much do you relish that competition?
Buffer: I love competition. To me, success breeds competition, and competition breeds success. I like everybody to be popular, and the bottom line is that the energy drink field is a very large, competitive field. Even if you capture 1% of the market, you are doing an incredible job, right? Also, my energy product is very high quality. It’s not along the lines of the others, which I say with full respect. I mean, the typical energy drink is full of sugar, full of this, and full of that. I believe in taking care of myself and being healthy, so I’m trying to add the principles of my health and awareness to my product.
