📢Coffee shop owners, talk to me!
I want to interview you about how specialty coffee shops can see the rise in home coffee machines as a potential opportunity rather than a threat to their business. For a mag. DM me! #prrequest #journorequest #coffee DL for responding: 14/7 ☕

[Amy Pay @YayAmyPay]

@davidhieatt @bwtic Paul, you are a creative genius! Can't wait to see this in the papery flesh.

@Felicity_Baker Hi Felicity! I'm a journalist working on a story about not letting disabilities hold you back. I'd love to interview you. Please can you follow me so I can DM you? Thank you :)

[Amy Pay @YayAmyPay]

@amymcm92 It is A LOT, all of the time! Too much for my lil head 😅

@tendowork @wllrss It has, sorry! Keep an eye out though as I'm often posting similar things :)

Looking for coffee shops that try to be weatherproof – think seasonal menus, adapting to match the forecast, retractable awnings etc. Know one, represent one or run one? Please share with me! It's for a print and digital magazine feature. Thanks! #journorequest #prrequest #coffee

@amymcm92 Your academic prowess has enabled you to discuss said Korean men in wonderful detail, though

[Amy Pay @YayAmyPay]

@bethanymrd I don't know you but I do know what an achievement that is. Well done! 🏊‍♀️

Q: What's your audio go-to when you're sleepy eyed on a Monday/stacked with deadlines? The more complex the noise, the better for me. I nod off otherwise! #MondayMotivation #nowplaying

[Amy Pay @YayAmyPay]

@Xisor 100 thank yous for your thoughtful reply! I'm going to digest all the nuggets 😊

[Amy Pay @YayAmyPay]

@TheCGNerd I get your caution re medication for mental health issues. More often than not, meds alone are not the answer; you need a whole package of support, but sadly that isn't always available on NHS. I imagine it's the same re using meds to help with neurodivergent-related issues 😕

[Amy Pay @YayAmyPay]

@TheCGNerd It's very tricky to know what to do! A formal diagnosis would potentially clarify things, but what I'd really like is some help with figuring out how to prevent v hard periods of brain fog/noisy head/confusion. I don't even know if medication exists!

[Amy Pay @YayAmyPay]

So, yup, I recognise now that I'm neurologically different. I don't think like most other people. I'm not sure where to go from here. Maybe knowing I'm #ActuallyAutistic/#ADHD will help me understand my mental spaghetti better?🤷🏻‍♀️Thoughts? Advice? Heartwarming capybara pics?

[Amy Pay @YayAmyPay]

It gets too loud in my head. I can't 9-5. I often don't get it, or I fear I'm not being understood when I rabbit on. Some days rock. Others are no goes where I need to switch off adulting and play video games (sooo soothing) or do some other seemingly pointless thing to reset.

@AlexAndBooks_ @amymcm92 here's a slice of heaven for you

[Amy Pay @YayAmyPay]

@nicholasgfearn I had similar years ago, numerous agencies offering me thousands (yes, thousands) to include their clients in Telegraph online articles. It's so crooked! I declined, obviously. I'm sure others aren't built of the same moral bones as me, though...

NB don't pour hot coffee through letterboxes. Stick to coffee beans. It's better for subscriber retention rates. ✌️

[Amy Pay @YayAmyPay]

Coffee subscription boxes are a big opportunity for indie cafes and roasters. Here's a feature I wrote @BoughtonsCoffee about how to get on board and through letterboxes, feat. @HardLinesCoffee, @FCPcoffee, @chimneyfirec and @CaravanRoastery. #smallbusiness #coffee

[Coffee House Magazine @coffeehouse_uk]

In our new issue we look at one booming trade that emerged from lockdown – subscription boxes – in @YayAmyPay’s Are subscriptions the way to go? Could this be added to your business offering in order to diversify and build your brand?
