It's funny, I have helmed large projects plenty of times before, but I don't think I knew those projects could be BIGGER. I am learning new things daily and managing a larger and larger team. I am grateful every day for the crazy adventure I am on and the people I get to work with. I brought my principal cast together in person for the first time this week so we could see each other and talk to each other. As we get ready for a big photoshoot on Sunday and our first table read on Wednesday, I felt it important to touch base, to ground ourselves in each other. To me, authentic connection makes for better creative output. I've been called old school for this, but I wouldn't change it.

My apologies as I have been missing the last week. Passion projects, like my indie sitcom Almost...Not Quite, can be all consuming and ever growing. Most of the time I stand in awe at the process and the amount of community support we have been given. I also spend the majority of my time chasing after it as I try to grow the team and fill the needs that come up daily. I am very happy to finally announce the principal cast. I feel confident in our choices and look forward to spending the next 10 months working side by side with them to create this story and project joy. From promotion to photoshoots to rehearsals and workshops, wish us all the best. And remember, always be grateful and keep creating.

Good morning all! This post comes a few days ahead of the Friday Wins. I wanted to share that we have officially been certified as an LGBTBE by the NGLCC (National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce). We have been working for months to complete the process. This now opens doors for us to various Diverse Supplier opportunities and to connect with over 2,200 Certified LGBT Businesses. If you want more info about how to get your LGBTBE, shoot me a message. ☕🌈

On Wednesday and Thursday we had a roasting consultant out to the roastery to help us hone in all of our roast profiles. We bought and installed a new roaster this summer, and at the six-month mark, new roasters need their roast profiles tweaked, as they are then considered "seasoned". It was a great time for our team to ask questions and learn some of the nuances of this new roaster. We had been roasting on a 1954 Probat Drum Roaster 60KG (the new one is a Loring 70KG). There won't be any change to the taste of our beans except that now we know it is honed in perfectly.
