Drink One For Dane Day is here! And we were fortunate enough to get an over the phone interview with the CEO of the MDA, Lynn O' Connor Vos. Lynn talks about her history working in the medical field and with other nonprofits, some new discoveries current research has given us in treating ALS, different areas that donated funds go towards, and a whole lot more. If you want to learn more about the MDA or make a donation, check out mda.org. Enjoy!

As we transition into May, our focus naturally goes towards Drink One For Dane Day. So of course, we had to interview Dane's first-born child and only daughter, Dana Sawyer. Her and Brant shared some fond memories of the very beginning of Dutch Bros, as well as the impact Dane had on their lives. Enjoy!

As we wrap up our theme in April of company growth, we figured we should get one more new Operator in the books. Danielle Suarez spoke with us about working her way up to Regional Manager in Jackson County, OR to now becoming a Regional Operator for SW Tucson, AZ. Look for that stand to be open on May 17th. Enjoy!

Earlier this year, we sat down with Erin Backman to talk about her time in Live Oak as a Regional Operator, and then transitioning to our newest Business Coach for AZ, Vegas, and Southern California. Fast forward to the present where she started that journey and then......everything changed! So luckily I caught up with her recently to talk about yet another exciting transition she's going through with DB. Basically, Erin Backman is so amazing, we had to interview her twice! Enjoy!

We sat down on the Red Couch with the new President of Dutch Bros, Joth Ricci.

Joth gave us a little history on his background starting off as a general manager for Colombia Distributing. Then working as a CEO with Jones Soda and Stumptown Coffee. He's also currently acting as a strategic advisor and board member for Brew Dr. Kombucha, Ninkasi Brewing, and Adelshiem Vineyard. Simply put, he is....the most interesting man in the world. Enjoy!

Dutch Bros just opened a brand new shop in Fife, WA today! So we decided to post our episode with the Regional Operator up in Fife, Megan Nymeyer. Megan talks about first getting hired in McMinnville, OR, becoming a manager and then regional manager for Kevin Murphy, how motherhood has helped shape her leadership in the shops, and a whole lot more. We also heard from her New Operator Coach, Charles Swindler. Enjoy!

As we close out our Mob Madness series, we sat on the Red Couch with the one and only Kate Lonstron! Kate talks about getting hired in Eugene, becoming a Regional Manager, becoming one of the first two Lead Mobsters, becoming the first ever Mob Boss, and then getting her dream job as Regional Operator for Eugene, OR. A true Dutch Slayer!!! Enjoy

As we continue on with our Mob Madness series, we sat down with one of the very first Mobsters ever! The one and only Mr. Zack Garrett. Zack talks about the origin of the Mob, and how the term Mob came about, the beginning of the Freedom Fighters, the beginning of the D-Force, and what it's currently like being a Regional Manager for Elk Grove, Lodi, and South Sac. Enjoy!

Mob Madness continues on! And what a treat it was to have a lovely conversation over the phone with current Lead Mobster, Ashley Smith. Dutch Bros was her very first job, and she's continued to get better and better at it over the years. Ashley shares her experiences as a Mobster, what it's like transitioning to a lead role, what the future of the Mob may look like, and much more. Enjoy!
