Conner's back after way too long with a major Starbucks betrayal (RIP Apple Crisp macchiato), Georgia Tech going 4-0, and his 9-year-old crushing everyone in fantasy football with legendary trash talk.

Plus: a magical NYC family trip with an unexpected Kenan Thompson sighting, why there's no such thing as a great salesperson, and the career wisdom that changed everything after nearly a year at AWS.

Sometimes the best advice comes from admitting what you don't know.

Welcome to Episode 140 of Friday Coffee Talks —where I blend business lessons with whatever’s brewing (literally and figuratively).
This week:
- I reflect on the magic of The Masters and why even non-golf fans can’t help but get swept up in it.
- I shares my thoughts on the Braves’ rocky start and a quick shoutout to Formula 1, all while managing to stay mostly caffeinated.
- Plus—a surprisingly valuable lesson from a mistakenly-sent sales email. (Hint: “Best regards,” with no name somehow performed better than anything else this month.)

If you’re in sales, marketing, or just need a lighthearted reset before the weekend, this one’s for you. Grab your coffee, enjoy the ride, and maybe… don’t overthink your next outreach email.

Friday Coffee Talks #138 - It's been a few months since I've done an episode as I've been settling into my new role. I review what we've been up to for the last period and end with a quick word of encouragement for all my compatriots in sales out there beginning the year.

After a month off, I'm back to catch up on the end of summer and what we've been up to. I also have some big news: today is my last day at StorMagic. I review the last eight years and talk a bit about where I'm headed. The episode ends with a review of one of the greatest and best things to ever exist.

Friday Coffee Talks #136 - Temperatures have fallen below the surface of the sun, football starts tomorrow, and Fall drinks are back at Starbucks! It's the best time of the year in the opinion of one podcast host and I'll tell you why. I also discuss what brought me to make this show in the first place and some of my beliefs around selling Enterprise IT.

Friday Coffee Talks #135 - We loved it so much the first time that we just had to do it again. Today's episode talks about our experience watching the Olympics so far and then I put a camera and mic on my 7-year-old and we all get to see what came out. Back to school, sleepovers at Grandparents, and even a sing-a-long. Enjoy the second go-round with Fallon!

Friday Coffee Talks #134 - Yesterday was the Fourth of July and we had a great day by the pool. As a Red, White, and Blue-blooded American I have my beliefs about the holiday and I realized yesterday that I might be more alone in those opinions than I thought.

Friday Coffee Talks #133 - Ah the end of the school year. The volume. The energy. The feet of rhinoceroses stomping the ceiling above my office. But with that also comes a hidden gem: teachers sending home schoolwork. Nothing we love more in this family than a good About Me page or one of the Fill in the Blank sheets! Today's episode goes through some of the highlights that we found in backpacks this year.

Friday Coffee Talks #132 - We catch up on a couple of current events and I discuss progress on getting our Buford store reopened. We're well into my portion of construction so I'm all systems go on getting things done. One of my favorite memories of the stores so far was a construction day with my Dad so I review that and discuss my favorite new additions.
