Apologies for the delay folks but we are back with an awesome episode! On this episode of Up in Your Business we had the chance to talk with Joe St. Pierre, a Boston food and lifestyle photographer.

Joe did not go the traditional route of going to college, getting a photography degree, and then working for a photography studio; but he did bust his ass and it has paid off. After assisting many professional photographers for a few years just to get experience and build his portfolio, he now shoots on his own for clients such as B. Good, Tribe Hummus, Arnold Worldwide, Hyatt Regency, and more.

Living in the same town he grew up in, Joe is having a very successful career in photography working mainly in Boston and he’s enjoying it too!

Being coffee lovers, we were really excited to talk with Audrey and Sam and it was super interesting to hear their story, the evolution of the company over time, and the different things they encountered along the way. There's so much that goes on into making great nitro cold brew and we definitely learned a lot talking to them.

Audrey and Sam didn't want to just make coffee, they wanted to build a community and they've certainly done that.
