@MattPorter44 @hbryant42 Never. We lead with “Family First. The Business.”

Unless she stops eating cheese. So I guess it’s “Cheese First. Then Family…”

Cheese was my first love after all.

@aconneen Sorry I’m late to the party. Unplugged for a bit. How’s the pickle ball been lately?

“Juneteenth has never been a celebration of victory or an acceptance of the way things are. It’s a celebration of progress. It’s an affirmation that despite the most painful parts of our history, change is possible—and there is still so much work to do.” - Barack Obama

When we’ve gotten caught up trying to make something perfect - which is impossible - we get stuck. I prefer action and movement to inaction. The answer is in knowing your abilities, constantly assessing your needs, and making quick iterations as needed. #ProgressNotPerfection

Every day Kendall and I make a point to show up fully at work, lead with love, and wear our hearts on our sleeves. Even though that still has challenges, and we don’t always get it right, we can’t imagine another way to do business.

If you own a business, I guarantee you have experienced failure of some sort. As @Forbes writer @LukeLintz puts it, “your business failures are the equivalent of entrepreneur’s tuition into the business world.”

Starting my day with #gratitude is an essential form of self-care. It establishes a healthy baseline for my brain to process all the ups and downs that can occur in a 12 hour day, and it gives me something to come back to when I need strength, courage, and hope.

[John Antonelli @JohnJAntonelli]

There is no best, only better. If you’re at your best, there’s nowhere to go, and I believe there’s always room for #improvement. “Improve Every Day” is one of our core principle because I know we won’t always get it right, but that we have the chance every day to improve.

When I first considered opening a cheese shop, I talked to Kendall and her mother, an entrepreneur herself. I said, “It’s risky.” Her response? “Business is risk John.”
And it all clicked. I had been looking to eliminate risk, when all you can do is minimize it. Just try.
