Made in VA

Today's guest is Christian Adams, co-owner of The Local Cup Coffee Company. I was very excited to chat with Christian about the story behind Local Cup as it has quickly become a staple for my family and I. We chat about all things coffee, the timely addition of a "coffee truck," community and working at Starbucks.

Today I have Carrie Cheatham on the show. We talk about the story behind Snail Mail, her art background, what its like to hand paint 15,000+ cards, and the value in sending a hand made piece of "snail mail."

I met up with Alison Fallecker (virtually of course), founder of Novus Creative to talk about the story behind her business and brand. Alison also shared some tips for marketing and branding during the "new normal" of COVID-19 commerce.

I caught up with JB Anderson, co-owner of Taxus Street Coffee over Zoom to talk about the story behind Taxus Street (who has the best nitro I have ever had by the way), his background, going to YouTube university and to debunk some coffee myths. We also talk about the affects of COVID-19 on this business and how they are pivoting to adapt to the current state of commerce.
