Quick hello from Alexa to introduce you to the GrassHoppher x Be Fearless memberships and the upcoming CCSU Summit in October. Follow @befearlesssummit and @alexa_curtis for more updates.

When I asked Alin Erenshteyn what being fearless meant to her, she said that fearlessness was moving her family across the world to embark on a mission to create the best coffee in America. I can agree, because Afuga Coffee is about to revamp how you drink coffee in and out of the coffee shop.

Y'all always ask who my best friends are and though I couldn't get my crew all in one place in the middle of a day to record, I'm introducing you to an OG Austinite & the person I spend the most time with, Kendall Forward. She used to be an on-air personality with NBC / CBS and left the TV industry to move to Austin (without knowing anyone here!) and pursue her own company as a consultant & publicist. Kendall and I met through a mutual friend last June and have remained best friends since. Follow Kendall at @kendallforward and @fastforwardnews on TikTok.
