In Episode 104 of the Daily Ristretto, I revisited the idea of customizing your free, Flat-Rate USPS boxes, let you know that the big show is still to come- we just had a delay this week, and also my appreciation for you joining our coffee journey. -Jake

In Episode 71, Mike and I recorded earlier in the morning, and stumbled through an hour or silliness just for you.

In episode 103 of the Daily Ristretto, I talked about the latest and greatest Cat & Cloud podcast episode where they talked about a company’s Mission, Vision, and Values, they promote asking why in everything, and consider whether external education- specifically the Disney Institute is worth it.

Mike starts the show off with a scare, hinting that he’s replaced me as he’s grown the Orange Cactus Coffee business into an empire. Nothing, of course, could be further from the truth.

In Episode 98 of the Daily Ristretto, I talked about my coffee experience over the weekend. It was terrible. And I don’t have the answer to the question of what do you do when the coffee is terrible? -Jake

In Episode 97 of the Daily Ristretto, I talked about dialing in the Bonavita, and my trip to Cottonwood, AZ for a Football coaching clinic where I’m going to try and find some coffee shops. -Jake
