Every time Colorado State pops up on a football schedule, I think about sending their coach a pair of Prime shades as a THANK YOU. Haha.
Back in 2023, I was about 5mins into a meeting at Blenders HQ when my phone started BLOWING UP.
Texts pouring in. "TURN ON ESPN NOW."
We flip on the TV and BOOM, there we were. ESPN. First Take. Pat McAfee. EVERYWHERE.
Turns out CSU's head coach had just made that infamous comment about Coach Prime taking his "hat and sunglasses" off.
My leadership coach looks at me and says, "Get your ass on a plane to Boulder."
3hrs later, I'm boarding a flight with my team. I even flew my dad out since partnering with Prime was his idea in the first place.
Coach Prime texts us: "Insanity is coming."
He wasn't kidding.
70k of Blenders sold in 72hrs. Over $4M in sales. One of the wildest moments/weekend of my entire life.
Sean Lewis was Prime's OC at CU that season. Now he's leading my Aztecs against CSU today.
3yrs later, I'm STILL tempted to send that coach a pair of shades.
Go get 'em, Sean. Aztec for Life.
My basketball career ended sophomore year of high school. Wasn't good enough to keep playing.
School wasn't my strong suit either. It was actually was one of my biggest struggles growing up.
Who would've thought that kid would one day be in a position to help change the future of a college basketball program.
Monday night, Coach Dutch presented me with the Presidential Medallion in recognition of my $5M gift to SDSU basketball I made last year.
I've had some pretty epic moments over the years, but this one sits right near the top.
And tonight, the boys take the floor against USC at Viejas. Pretty damn cool seeing this next chapter of Aztec hoops come to life.
Guess I finally made the team after all. Haha.
Aztec for Life!
@jake_ory If it wasn’t for baddy bernie I woulda spent 9mnths trying to perfect the sunglass vs just getting started. Forever grateful for him screaming: “Chase just be there for entrepreneur day. No matter what.” Go Aztecs baby!
HomeGoods has some of the best candles in the game.
But for the love of god, can someone tell their merchandising team to put the price stickers on the BOTTOM of the candles?!
Nothing like buying a fresh candle and spending 15mins trying to remove a sticker from the side without leaving half the adhesive behind.
Who approved this?
Spoiler Alert: PRIME shades were $69 but Coach personally requested $67 before launch. An ode to his birth year and I quote "I don't want to be affiliated with the number 69" haha
Details matter. They matter, a lot!!
