Heading to Minneapolis soon to interview the CEO of Peace Coffee, a great organic coffee manufacturer. They've got a cool presence in the Twin Cities and they're doing their best to work with small farmers and provide them with a living wage. Cool...

There's something about being recognized by your peers. But there's something super special about this type of validation after the long journey to get the product to market. We'll celebrate with tea and cookies. Not!

Can't believe we're at the point where we're submitting the video portion of the course to the Telly Awards. We've waited for the moment for quite some time. Now it's here. And we're excited.
