Yes, I hung LOST posters of myself at a conference. 🧀
50+ texts. 12 in person meetings.
We’ve been so busy grinding that I told my COO “let’s talk about it” for 8 months.
3 days ago time was UP!
Meetings take months to line up…ohh hell nah did you think I wasn’t going to make something happen?
I made some great connections this week and met some great people, and got into some new distro; no fluff, no BS, raw here’s the deal type ish. Same as Michael Atkinson at Douglas Sales Associates Inc , or Anthony S at Wakefern Food Corp. , Peter at Brooklyn Square and all the guys at Prince St. Pizza .
Met awesome founders like Drew Harrington from Snack Buddies , Alexa Ryan from Bakr , chopped it up with Jesse Konig 🍟 from Jesse & Ben's , Andrew Bellisano from Dumpling Daughter and a ton of others.
Thank you NFRA for all, including being a finalist for the Penguin 🐧, and can’t wait to have more than 3 days to plan next year!
