                    • Summer Series #5: I think it was based on our book (review)...but we can call it bro-rista crush.

                      Today's episode is SORT OF work related.. We cover communication ups & downs at work and in life, clashes of personalities..or is it a difference in "love language"? Not a psychologist so we have no idea.. Also, a small unrelated Dutch Bros story (which is probably the highlight of the entire recording)....and a review on Candytopia in Houston, TX!!

                            Surprise! Mostly for us...whoever scheduled this is doing a terrible job.. Today we readdress customer service and when is too much? TJ's lacking booking skills and when did YES become the catch all answer and why do people over plan events?! WE CANT CONTROL EVERYTHING.
