Stacy has always been a great cook. But she is a true grill master! As a busy mom and educator, she began using John’s salad dressing to marinate meats and veggies for simple, quick meals prepared on the grill. The salad dressings became a daily part of her meal preparation routine. Other people loved it too! For years, John and Stacy mixed hundreds of jars of what would become Semper Savage salad dressing for family and friends who raved about the flavor and clamored for more.

    May 6, 2022 by Tanyamariedube from Canada

    What a great show. I loved listening to your episode with Dave Lorenzo on the 60 Second Sale. As someone who loves sales (but loathed them when I started with cold calls and cold door knocking), I loved what he said about hearing the word “no”. In sales, we are trained to look for the no’s. It makes us really good at it if we can really get into it. What you two were talking about with regard to how our limitations are i’’our minds really resonated with me. I love that because it’s a game changer when you understand that sales is just about helping people solve a massive problem and getting paid for it and then taking imperfect action, get on your feet and have fun. Thanks so much! Love this show.

Great taste but you want it all natural, no artificial preservatives. You want to live healthy. You have a successful business and you want to be along for the long haul. That’s why I’m excited to have Stacy Currie, cofounder of Veteran-Owned Semper Savage here. And she’s going to be sharing what her and her husband, John, did to create a company making salad dressing the way you want it and the way you deserve it. I’m going to bring her up right after we thank our sponsor.

Mario Fachini [0:56]
Here she is, ladies and gentlemen, Stacy Currie. Stacy, how are you feeling today?

Stacy Currie [0:59]
I’m great, Mario. Thanks for having me on. I’m super excited to be here.

Mario Fachini [1:04]
I’m excited to have you on because when I saw what you and John were doing, I just had to learn more. So tell us how did Semper Savage get started?

Stacy Currie [1:14]
Wow. So first thing I have to say is, Semper Savage is a salad dressing and the marinade. And John loves salad. I like salad, but I also like to cook. And I use our products with meat and vegetables as well. But he really loves salad. And he’s the one that had this idea. For over 20 years, he’s been trying to find the perfect salad dressing that tastes really good and that’s healthy. And so it’s been his quest to find that salad dressing that kind of got this started. But a couple stories that really helped us move forward and really think about like, “Wow. We could do this,” is that we used to take it to parties or family functions where you would bring that one food that everybody said like, “The Currie’s need to bring this.” So salad dressing was that one food. But what really happened and got to start thinking about this was our oldest daughter, she went away to college. And she was really missing the salad dressing. So she tried to make some on her own. And she sent me a message and said, “Mom, I tried to make the salad dressing and it tasted horrible.” And so what happened was, she asked if John could make some and we would bring it up to school. And so this happened every week. I would bring up a new fresh bottle of salad dressing and bring home the old bottle. So for the entire fall semester, this is what we would do. We would kind of swap out the empty bottle and give her the new bottle. So what really happened was, for Christmas, she decided that she was going to make John a present. So she bought a case of mason jars and she put his picture on it. She put his picture on it and she wrapped it up, and on the label it says John Currie’s World Famous Salad Dressing. So she wrapped up this box of mason jars and she put a little note in it and said, “Please, fill this with salad dressing.” And John was really tickled with this Christmas gift. But that’s when we really started thinking about, we really should think about marketing this product. And it’s kind of that’s how it started.

Mario Fachini [3:38]
Were there any hurdles to go from that to where you are now?

Stacy Currie [3:43]
Yeah. I think, the hurdles kind of make you bond and grow as you are jumping or attempting to jump through those hurdles. And first off, we have to really thank one of his colleagues, he was working at the Pentagon back then. And his friend Matt Talbert works with him. And Matt has a barbecue sauce company. And John didn’t know this. And so Matt came in and somebody said to him, like, “Hey, you need to bring us some of this barbecue sauce.” And so John and Matt started talking and Matt, actually, mentored him through the initial stages of things like getting a recipe. And taking that recipe and having it food tested so you could get the nutrition label. And finding a company that could bottle our product and it wouldn’t cost us – I don’t want to say an arm and a leg – maybe two arms and a leg because it is expensive to bottle that. So having a mentor has been really instrumental in helping us get started with that. But there’s a lot of hurdles about finding a label, identifying a name, bottling that, disseminating it out so people could actually try it. We wanted people to try our product first to make sure (A) that more people liked it, but then also to get the word out. And we’re actually a little over a year since we modeled our first product, but we’ve only started our company nine months ago. We launched it Veterans Day 2019. So I think we’re still in that process of getting it out there for people to try it and then people to actually talk about it with other people.

Mario Fachini [5:38]
Oh, that is fantastic to hear. And I’m just so excited because one of my passions – I started my first company at 12. And I started this company when I was 18, let’s say a few years ago. And everyone thinks it’s like – it is a long process. It can be complex. But all you need is that idea. And when I hear of someone that has the true entrepreneurial spirit that says, “You know what? I’m going to go for it.” You might make it all, but you might also lose it all. And, generally, it’s somewhere in between. I know people that have done both, though, and everything in between. And it’s just so fun to hear, you know, “Hey, we are making progress. We went for it. We’re doing this.” And, now, you get to share that. I have a lot of people I know that make good food. And I’ve encouraged them, “Hey, you should do something with this.” And they should. So what changed when you start showing up at these places and everyone saying, “Oh, you need to bring your dressing.” Now, it’s in a professionally labeled, approved, you’re actually marketing and selling it. Did you notice anything different when you went places and people were asking for it?

Stacy Currie [6:50]
Well, yes. So, actually, one of my very best friends that I met when I was five years old, we went to kindergarten, and that also was quite a long time ago, her daughter was getting married last year. And she sent me a message and said, “We really want to have your products for the wedding.” They were having a nice outdoor wedding set in the countryside. And they were having salad. And so she said, “We really want to showcase your product.” So that was so exciting to be able to bring that and share her special day. We are on Facebook and Instagram. And so we are starting to see people sharing their favorite recipes. And that, to me, I think also is super exciting. We still have people, and I just actually talked to somebody today and they said, “Oh, I’m just out of the Savage Balsamic and I need to order some more.” So I think it moved from us making these products to take to these places to now people are ordering them on their own. We also still make our products at home. So I still make all of our vinaigrettes at home. I have our bottles here. But for the most part, I still make ours from scratch in our mason jars.

Mario Fachini [8:16]
That is fantastic. You’re reminded me of some of the Shark Tank stories I’ve seen back in the day. And I just love entrepreneurial – pretty much everything. And I’m just so excited for the both of you. I want to ask you about the all-natural choice. Why go that route? It’s more expensive. It’s harder to do. You got to put a different price point on it. Why did you say, “I don’t want to compete with everyone else out there. I want the best.”

Stacy Currie [8:44]
That’s a really good question. And when we make this at home, we definitely use the extra virgin olive oil. And we’re spending that money because we want a good tasting great product, but we also want it to be a healthy product. So as we were doing this, we spent a lot of time standing in the aisles at supermarkets all over the place from high end supermarkets to low end supermarkets, organic markets, to just regular markets. And we were looking at the back of salad dressing bottles and also marinade bottles, and we were looking at the ingredients. And we found that a lot of companies a lot of products had cheaper ingredients. So, obviously, their product was much cheaper but the the products that they were using in their salad dressing and marinades was a cheaper product as well. So we really decided that we wanted to make sure that we were putting on somebody’s table the same healthy goodness that we want for our children, our family, and our friends. And so that was a decision that we’ve talked about and we still standby that. So, for example, we use extra virgin olive oil. It’s the first ingredient in all of our products. We don’t use an olive oil blend. And we don’t cut it with canola oil or other oils. We find that olive oil is healthier and it’s also better to cook with as well. We also use vinegars, and we don’t cut the vinegar with water. So sometimes people will taste them and they say, “Oh, I could taste the vinegar.” And we want you to do that. We’re actually trying to change the way people think about salad dressing and marinades, because we find there are a lot of times they’re watered down and they also have other additives like sugar and salt to kind of mask the flavor of our natural ingredients. So all of our products are made with all 100 percent extra virgin olive oil, vinegar, garlic, and herbs, and spices. And it’s just that we call it homemade salad dressing in a bottle. And we also say we’ve done the work for you.

Mario Fachini [11:06]
Well, that is inspiring, because I know what it takes to start a business, and then maintain it, and then grow it, and then, probably, restart it again. And it’s not always fun. But getting to the end result, which you have it, that is a ton of fun and inspiring. So with everything you’ve done, what’s your next goal to get it out there?

Stacy Currie [11:31]
So we are working with a company to get the word out through podcasts, through Instagram, stories, and bloggers. And we’re finding that that is a great way, first off, to talk to people. I love to meet new people. And so as we are promoting our product, we’re also talking to people and I think that’s a lot of fun. So that’s one way that we are doing it. We are also using our own social media to spread the word. But, really, what I find is that both John and our friends and family, they’re the ones that are really helping us promote it. They stand by this product. They think it’s a good product. They’ve been posting some recipes. They post pictures of their final products. Somebody – I believe it was yesterday – they used one of the Semper Savage products on tuna. I think it was the balsamic vinaigrette on tuna steak. And so they actually posted that picture of the grilled tuna. So I think having our friends and family help us promote a product that they believe in is also very helpful.

Mario Fachini [12:47]
I got to be honest, that sounds real good. And I just tasted that a little bit and I want some.

Stacy Currie [12:51]
It’s good.

Mario Fachini [12:53]
Okay. Focus. I’m supposed to ask you about what’s been the biggest transformation in the business since you’ve started?

Stacy Currie [13:04]
Oh. Well, I think the way that we are connecting with people, I think that’s been our biggest transformation. So we’ve connected with people to help us. Because being an entrepreneur, John knows a lot about his salad dressing. I know a lot about cooking. Family and my children are grown up now, but I’ve spent lots of years cooking for my children, for my husband, and for other people. So both of us know our product. But the biggest transformation was learning how to market that product. So we hired somebody to help us build a website. And we’ve hired somebody to help us with marketing strategies. So I think the transformation now is that while it’s still homemade salad dressing in a bottle, that we are really trying to reach as many people across the United States as possible to help them understand that we are on a crusade to think about and change the way people are reeling their meat and using it in the kitchen on salads and vegetables.

Mario Fachini [14:19]
Excellent. So I want to ask you one more thing and then we’re going to go to the Wheel of Whatever and thank our sponsor. And it is, where do you see the company going for the next five to ten years? What would be your biggest goal with it?

Stacy Currie [14:36]
Great. I think the hardest thing is to sit back and wait, because we have two products and we really want to launch them. We want people to get to know who we are. But I actually have four other products that I just want other people to to try. They’re some of my favorite products. Like I said, we still make it in the kitchen. And I use Semper Savage products almost every day for lunch and for dinner. And so I definitely see us launching our salad dressings and marinades and extending beyond our two products. That’s number one. We’re also readily available in the 48 states. But I hope that we can extend that and offer it to people right now in Alaska and Hawaii. It’s too difficult for us to market right there. And so I think trying to extend our boundaries, so other people can purchase the product. So I’ve also had other people, somebody, just a couple weeks ago, said, “Have you thought about manufacturing hot sauce?” And so the wheels started turning in my brain. And I thought, “Well, we can’t do that now.” But to think about changing the way that we’re thinking about other ways people are cooking in the kitchen, I think, you know, in light of all that’s happened over the past few months, I’m finding that more people are doing work cooking and grilling out. So I hope that we can really start thinking about taking this crusade even further away and not just the salad dressings and marinades but including other products as well.

Mario Fachini [16:27]
Excellent. And this worked out perfect, because this is the Wheel of Whatever. And it always ends where I need it to. And it always stops on the right question. And I was debating about which one of these two should I ask you. But I’m going to use this as my little magic decoder and get some insider info because I want to know what you’re coming up with next. Look at that it landed on the one I just needed, what is the next flavor you’re going to be releasing?

Stacy Currie [16:58]
Oh. So, right now, we already have ready to go, our Savage Cider. So it is an apple cider vinaigrette. And it’s delicious. I use it on my salads. And I also use it to marinade chicken and fish as well. I come from Maryland and we use apple cider vinegar on so many things. So I’m really excited to get get that one out. We also have a Savage Caesar, which is one of John’s favorites. That’s really what he eats in the kitchen on his salad. So it’s a vinaigrette as well. And so it’s a little different than the Creamy Caesar. But those are the two that that I hope we are going to be ready to launch in the near future.

Mario Fachini [17:49]
I love Caesar salads. Salmon is good. And I always have told people for years, you can’t go wrong with Italian.

Stacy Currie [17:59]
It’s great. And I don’t think we’ve mentioned our two new flavors to anybody else, so this is the first time.

Mario Fachini [18:08]
I was saving that one for the wheel. I’m like, “Which one? I could ask both of these because they’re kind of like a foreshadowing.” And I’m like, secret decoder ring is going to come in handy. I’m going to get some insider info right now. And you said there was four though? I’ll ask John the other two.

Stacy Currie [18:25]
Okay. Yeah.

Mario Fachini [18:27]
Oh, that’s perfect. I already got the question. I’ve never done – that is so cool. I’ve never been able to get the Wheel of Whatever question prior to the interview. That is killer. Thank you for that.

Stacy Currie [18:38]
One of the other two are actually my two favorite dressings. So I’ll let him tell you.

Mario Fachini [18:46]
That’s good marketing right there, it ended on an open loop. Wow. Now, I want to know them. All right. We got to thank the sponsor and we’ll be back with the Imperfect Action Round.

Take it from a few of my authors like Lorie, “I went from having an idea and the possibility to actually getting my book published.” Or Katherine, “Thank you for making my mom number one bestselling author.” Or Maryalice, “What he got done for me in three days regarding my book launch, unimaginable.” Jon Cody, “I’ve worked with Mario over the phone and online and he’s been very helpful in getting me where I needed to go with promoting my books.” Rosio, “There’s no way in the world I would have been able to do this with somebody else. Again, I’ve attempted it in the past, it didn’t serve me. As a matter of fact, I ended up more frustrated than anything. So this has been a very seamless process.” Adele, “If you’re looking for an amazing business coach, I highly recommend Mario Fachini.” Or Bill Benner, “I can’t make a higher recommendation than to work with Mario Fachini. He has been great for me. And right now, I won’t work with anybody else except for Mario.” Hey, their words, not mine. Visit FreeBusinessBookPublishingCourse.com to get started now and I look forward to hearing your transformation as the next video success story. Once again, that’s FreeBusinessBookPublishingCourse.com.

Mario Fachini [20:28]
And we are back with the Imperfect Action Round. Stacy, are you ready to take imperfect action?

Stacy Currie [20:33]
Yes.

Mario Fachini [20:36]
In your experience, what is the fastest way to get profits?

Stacy Currie [20:41]
Oh, I don’t know because we are not at the profits making yet. So I don’t even know the answer to that question.

Mario Fachini [20:57]
All right. Well, let me ask you this, what is the fastest way to get the product off the ground?

Stacy Currie [21:03]
Yeah. So that, actually, costs money, I think, to get the product off the ground. It was worth it to us to spend that money up front, so we could get the product out in people’s hands and on their dining room tables. So I think that that spending the money first in order to get the word out. And people can actually try that. If I can actually say this, it’s something that was important to me, because about – I think it was, maybe, 20 years ago, there was a chip company with the name Stacy. And I received this box and it had my name, Stacy, on it and it had some samples. And so they were just a company starting out. And they apparently sent to everybody that they could find with the name Stacy and they sent these chips to them. And that really stuck with me. I think it was about 20 or maybe it may have been even more than 20 years ago. That really stuck with me. So I think putting some money into the company up front, so we could get rid of -not get rid of – so we could distribute the products to potential customers, that was really important to us. So we’re hoping that the product and the profit is going to be positive later on based on all the work that we’ve done up front.

Mario Fachini [22:32]
Excellent. What have you found is the best way for people to enjoy your product?

Stacy Currie [22:40]
So I think sometimes people are thinking that it’s salad dressing. And so people will say like, “Oh, I enjoy salad.” But I’m finding that there’s so many different ways that you can enjoy the product. So number one, I love to grill. So I love to marinate any kind of meat, pork chops, steak, chicken, fish. Like I said, coming from Maryland, we eat fish, rock fish is big down here. We eat shoots great on shrimp, scallops. I even cook squid, which sounds maybe kind of funny to people. But I grill squid and I brushed a little balsamic on it at the end right before it’s finished grilling. So it’s really good as a marinade for meats. It’s also awesome if you’re roasting brussel sprouts. I just cooked yesterday for a YouTube video. I cooked grilled asparagus with the Savage Balsamic on it. But then, also, cold salads, like cucumbers and onions with some balsamic vinaigrette on it or a Caprese salad with tomatoes and mozzarella cheese. So one thing I really like about our products is that it is really versatile. And you can put it on salad, on some cold vegetables, and also use it to cook whether it’s in a skillet or on the grill. I find it to be a personal product. But I also have to say that we didn’t really know that in the beginning. The more we use the products, the more I thought like, “Wow. Why don’t I just supplement the Savage Balsamic for whatever that recipe was calling for.” So I’m finding new ways to use our products every day.

Mario Fachini [24:29]
Excellent. Number three, the last one, is it worth going for your dreams?

Stacy Currie [24:37]
Oh, yes. Definitely. I think that the one of our mottos is, work hard, play hard. And I think in finding your dream and going after it, that you have to work hard for it. It’s not always smooth sailing. There’s a lot of extra work, a lot of new learning that we have to do. John always says, “Don’t quit your day job because there’s a lot of extra money that goes into doing this.” And while we hope we’re going to be successful, you just never know. So it is worth it to follow your dream. Also to watch John, I think this has been a dream of his for years and to watch him explain and talk about his products or our products, that also is really rewarding to be on that side of it to watch him really talk about his dream of making salad dressings and marinades for people.

Mario Fachini [25:43]
Well, thank you for sharing that. I have another question as far as what books have helped you over your life?

Stacy Currie [25:52]
Oh, gosh. Well, I’m an educator and I haven’t been reading, like, entrepreneur books. I think, kind of thinking about life, the Malcolm Gladwell books have been instrumental for me. I also use them when I’m working with my students in the classroom. I also have this other book that I use quite often and it is The Smartest Kids in The World and How They Got That Way. Again, that’s also for educators, but it looks at education. And I think education doesn’t have to be within the walls of the school building. It can just be about community and kind of education of building a company. And it talks about the differences across different countries and the United States, how we compare and also the kind of the contrast. So that book is very instrumental. A final book that has nothing to do with either teaching or entrepreneurship is a book it’s just called Water. And it’s just talked about throughout the last 300 years how civilization has shaped the way the waterways are newly constructed. And it’s kind of the pros and cons for that. So, again, that has nothing to do with entrepreneurship. But it’s a book that I actually found to be quite intriguing.

Mario Fachini [27:29]
