Follower of Christ | Founder at Swoop Beverage Co. | America First | Beverage Entrepreneur | Learning Experience and Story Designer
Here's the new look to the old lineup (see image). We're going to rock this branding, and ROCK IT HARD! The U.S. is in desperate need... Of a company and product they can rally around - one that celebrates America First and traditional American values, has a biblical business foundation, is health conscious, refreshing, and will knock the socks off your tastebuds (yeah, your tastebuds have socks, don't-cha-know). As a reminder, Swoop Beverage Co. (formerly Gospel Springs): - Is openly and unapologetically proud of the U.S. - Will be American-made (sourced, produced, and manufactured) - Has a foundation of and promotes biblical principles and ethics - Is Christian-owned - Does not/will not bow down to destructive, anti-American philosophies I'm working as fast and diligently as possible to get this back to where it was before the rebrand to get these drinks formulated and produced. You'll have a unique opportunity to help make that happen shortly and support this startup. So, hold on to your short pants, you're in for a wild ride! 🌐 Updated website should hopefully be up by week's end. #swoopbeverageco #swoop #usa #americafirst #americanbusiness #christianowned #smallbusiness #sparklingwater #conservative #republican #maga #trump

Inc. 500 CEO @ Basemakers | Wharton Fellow | Helped scale 300+ CPG brands in retail | Follow us on our journey of building a world-class sales agency that builds brands from $0 → $100mm+
WILDE CHIPS has become one of the fastest-growing chip brands in the US! Here’s their origin story: Jason Wright grew up in a small Carolina town, raised by a single mother and grandmother: “Ma” They both taught him how to dream big But they also introduced him to “comfort food” In 2017, Jason was hit with a ton of challenges and felt overwhelmed. Naturally, he returned to what comforted him: potato chips. This time, something felt different. The chips weren't as “comforting” as they used to be... Reading the ingredients made things worse. At that moment, Jason thought: “Could I replace the potato with chicken breast?” Building on that thought he asked himself: "Could I show the world comfort food doesn't mean junk food?" This mission sparked an intense drive to turn his idea into reality. But each time he tried, he couldn’t get the formula to work. -poor taste -bad texture -weird aesthetics The obstacles were non-stop, adding more stress and pressure. Finally an R&D breakthrough happened! In that moment, both his childhood staples of “dreaming big” and “comfort food” collided.. Wilde Chips was born! Shout out to the Basemakers team for helping build Wilde Chips in retail! #cpg #founderstories #sales

When I think about brands, I find it truly inspiring to reflect on the journey and enduring nature of legacy brands. 🌟 True Value Company is a prime example of a brand that has navigated decades of change—witnessing shifts in the world, the retail landscape and even within its own leadership, yet its emblem remains a symbol of reliability and trust. From its humble beginnings in 1948 when John Cotter founded Cotter & Co., our brand started as a wholesale supplier for 25 cooperative hardware retailers across Illinois and the Midwest. Those days of catalog sales might seem like a bygone era, but they laid the groundwork for what True Value has become today. True Value's journey from catalog sales to a modern hardware fixture is a testament to the power of vision and resilience. It's not just about hardware; it's about a commitment to service and community that has stood the test of time. As we continue to evolve, we'll carry forward the spirit of innovation and community that John Cotter championed. With our recent brand refresh, we circle back to why we're here today and why we're dedicated to being here for you tomorrow. It’s about preserving this legacy and living up to the high standards set decades ago. #TrueValue #HereForYou #BrandStorytelling #BrandRevival

💪 Dedicated to helping small hotel owners claim back their time & increase their profits 📈| Digital marketing specialist and visual content creator
Do you believe in magic? ✨ Well, after the last few weeks, I think I do… It always seems to be everything at one time, over the last 2 weeks I’ve: 🧚 started the first few sessions at Little Pixies (and the end results are soooo cute, photo below) 🍔 been helping one of our clients launch a new venture in Windsor. (More on this soon) 😳 Made the scariest decision of my life. (Some of you know, some of you will have to wait, unless you’re dying to know and then just message me and maybe I’ll tell you). With each of these projects there’s been some roadblocks, like our dressmaker running off with our money and not giving us our dresses. But each time, we’ve been able to overcome them. 😁 Maybe it’s magic, maybe it’s just determination but either way, I’m so excited to see what the next few weeks bring. What have you been up to? #business #entrepeneur #mindset

Sales Leader in Packaging Solutions | Marketing and Design Expert | Transforming Packaging Efficiency
It's with a profound sense of sorrow that we bid adieu to longstanding fixtures of our neighborhoods, such as the 99 Cents Only Stores. The shuttering of these establishments isn't merely the end of a business; it symbolizes the conclusion of an era, evoking waves of wistfulness and a deep sense of bereavement among those who have relied on these stores for economical goods and convenience for years. The cessation of these cherished locales serves as a poignant reminder of the merciless nature of the retail realm. In an epoch marked by relentless competition, shifting consumer inclinations, and economic volatility, even the most resilient enterprises can succumb. Despite valiant attempts to pivot and adapt to the evolving landscape, some inevitably succumb to the inexorable forces of liquidation. Nevertheless, amidst the melancholy, lies an opportunity for introspection and fortitude. These closures underscore the enduring tenacity of entrepreneurship and the remarkable capacity of communities to persevere and flourish in the face of adversity. While we bid farewell to the 99 Cents Only Stores, we also embrace the potential for fresh ventures to emerge, catering to the ever-changing demands and preferences of consumers. As we reminisce about the memories and encounters these stores have afforded to countless individuals, we recognize the profound imprint they've left on our communities. Their legacy will endure in the hearts and minds of those who frequented their aisles, serving as a testament to their lasting contributions. Though the doors may close, the essence of the 99 Cents Only Stores will forever remain an esteemed part of our collective remembrance.

Every stitch happens in America. It's so much more than just a product. It's blue-collar Americans making goods for blue-collar Americans. It's manufacturing supplying the service companies and law enforcement agencies we depend on. It's skilled operators keeping cut and sew manufacturing alive. It's flying in the face of the make it overseas for cheaper paradigm. It's what we're doing.

Today, our author spotlights for “The Pet Shop Boys and the Political” take a turn for what might have been (but wasn’t) and what shouldn’t have been (but was). This starts with Jonathan Dean and his chapter, “Buying and Selling your History: Navigating the Ruins of Neoliberalism with Tennant and Lowe.” Jonathan begins with the proposition that much of Pet Shop Boys’ discography can be traced to a critique of the neoliberal socioeconomic order that reared its head under Thatcher and continues to this day. To do this, he charts three different phases of neoliberalism and, through the vehicle of PSB lyrics, defines not only their core components but what Tennant and Lowe have to say about them. By doing this, Jonathan argues that the Pet Shop Boys’ reputation for irony is, in fact, misguided and misleading. Instead, there are distinct trends of what constitutes neoliberal attitudes, ranging from the combative neoliberalism of the 1980s and the aggressive marketing found in, say, “Shopping”… …through to the normative neoliberalism of the commodified individual, à la “Discoteca” or “Single-Bilingual”, and finally the punitive neoliberalism of forced austerity and no alternatives, as found in “London” or “Twenty-Something.” Jonathan’s enthusiasm for this project was palpable, and it wasn’t uncommon to have an email from him well ahead of schedule to tell me that he was sorry if he was bothering me but he was just *so* excited to work on his chapter. (He was never bothering me, and this was a pleasure.) Jonathan’s favourites and inspirations for this chapter: "Shameless" "Love is a Bourgeois Construct" "Twenty-Something"
