And there's a lot of things we 298 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 5: could get in too with coffee in terms of like 299 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 5: different ways that the coffee is processed. You know, basically 300 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 5: coffee grows, there's a coffee cherry with the two beans 301 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 5: inside of it. And there's all different ways that the 302 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,680 Speaker 5: coffee producers have to get the fruit off of the beans, 303 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 5: and so when they do that in parts, different types 304 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 5: of flavors on there. You know, we could go deep 305 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 5: on this, but try to just improvement. 306 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 3: But we want to improve your coffee. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 307 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 3: so I be So I've got a bean, I gotta 308 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 3: make sure it doesn't have sinatra in coffee. 309 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: And that's okay, right, Well, that's really basic questions. 310 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 5: On Different regions have different you know ways, they're kind 311 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 5: of known for processing coffee traditionally, but there so, but 312 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 5: and what ends up happening is people sort of like 313 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 5: certain coffee from certain regions. And that's fine. That's why 314 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 5: there's a variety, you know. And so some people U like, 315 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 5: don't like samantra and coffee it has a particular flavor 316 00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 5: that doesn't agree with them or whatever, you know, but 317 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 5: some people love it.

And while 545 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 3: WITHSA didn't want fake stucko that you know, the famous 546 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 3: eve stuff that's you know, just tiating, right, do you 547 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 3: want a real, real product, conventional stuckhol. 548 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 1: How excited was the wilewood toasted to have somebody looking 549 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 1: at a building that had been sitting there is an 550 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:50,400 Speaker 1: iore for ten years. 551 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:51,160 Speaker 6: Uh. 552 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 5: Well, we had a great experience, you know, dealing with 553 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 5: the city Walt so especially like the you know, the 554 00:25:55,440 --> 00:26:01,400 Speaker 5: business development and you cover a little quot about that. Yeah, 555 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 5: you know, so there was a couple of projects that 556 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,719 Speaker 5: kind of fell through and we were looking for a building. 557 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 5: We were already working with Galbrai's Carnahan, the architect who 558 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,440 Speaker 5: just so happens to conveniently be right across sixty fourth 559 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 5: Street from us. They I don't know if you remember, 560 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,160 Speaker 5: but they moved the log cabin down the down the street, 561 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 5: put it on sixty fourth Street, and the bag of sand, 562 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 5: I know was a bag of sand from Bradford Beach. 563 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 5: I believe that he brought to match the color. So 564 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 5: kind of special there, you know, to do that. We 565 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:35,160 Speaker 5: had a great experience with Gallberry's, Carnahan and Nick Andrew, 566 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,159 Speaker 5: great great guys. So that was kind of how we 567 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 5: got started. But the building itself, you know, had been 568 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 5: sitting for ten years. Like I said before, it was 569 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 5: kind of an eyesore, and we were concerned about like 570 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 5: what could we do because it was, you know, as 571 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 5: a nineteen sixties office building, it wasn't built architecturally stunning. 572 00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 1: You know. 573 00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,679 Speaker 5: It was a good you know, had a good foundation 574 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 5: and good sort of structure, but other than that, there 575 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:03,679 Speaker 5: wasn't much to go on. 576 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember that building and when when when Bingo 577 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 1: was telling me about this project, I kept thinking, is 578 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 1: that building, right, that doesn't look like it could be 579 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 1: a comfortable coffee shot. 580 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 3: Right, Yeah it was. It was a white brick office building. 581 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 1: Yes, what it was. And it was a boring looking. 582 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:26,160 Speaker 5: Fairly utilitarian, you know. And and again they're just it's 583 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 5: hard because like I've done a lot of projects, would 584 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 5: working and such in the past. It's always good when 585 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 5: you have something to go on, you know, something to 586 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:38,439 Speaker 5: start you out, architectural feature or something notable, you know, 587 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 5: and this building did not have much, and so there 588 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:45,160 Speaker 5: was just some concern about like how do we create 589 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:50,879 Speaker 5: something special out of this building? And Nick Carnahan had, 590 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 5: you know, brought up the idea of stuck going the 591 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,400 Speaker 5: outside of it, and so, you know, at the time, 592 00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 5: I hadn't had much experience with stuck. I mean, everybody 593 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 5: knows stuck, you know what I mean. But but you know, right, yeah, 594 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 5: these guys, you know. But the and one thing that 595 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 5: I was telling Bingo I think when we met a 596 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:13,880 Speaker 5: while back, was you know, just having the when when 597 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 5: that stucco was completed, it was such a dramatic change 598 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 5: to the building, and you know, actually to the entire neighborhood. 599 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,680 Speaker 5: You know, it's it's much more notable now you can see, 600 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 5: you know, you notice it. But I don't know if 601 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,399 Speaker 5: it's This is kind of what I thought would be 602 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 5: interesting to talk about, is I don't know if it's 603 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 5: you know, the hand troweled is what sort of gives 604 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 5: it this special character to it? You know, it's there's 605 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 5: a lot of things nowadays in construction that are sort 606 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 5: of imitation, you know, like there's imitation would cement that 607 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 5: looks like wood, things like that, you know, and you 608 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 5: see a lot of it when you're around, and you know, 609 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 5: it doesn't jump out at you as like a character. 610 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 5: You know, it's like character of the building and character. 611 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 5: So I was just super impressed with the work that 612 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 5: they did and it really just helped to import character 613 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 5: into the building, you know, where I didn't have any 614 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 5: or very little before, you know. 615 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 1: And so if I can't aran when when you started 616 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 1: the project, and it's a big project and it took 617 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 1: a while to get to get going and get it done, 618 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 1: did you did you see kind of what their vision 619 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 1: was of how it's going to look prior to you 620 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 1: getting it done. 621 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, the owners and the architects were super involved in 622 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 4: the job, and from day one I knew exactly what 623 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 4: they were looking for and they, to their credit, they 624 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 4: they asked me my opinions and their their grand scheme 625 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 4: was their idea.

And you know, just the way to make 630 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 4: the code requirements for stucco flow with the design and 631 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 4: all of that. There's there's ways you can do it 632 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 4: where it just looks awful, but if you tweak it 633 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 4: just a little bit, it stays within compliances and it 634 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 4: looks looked great. 635 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 1: Man, when you drive up and you said, look, I 636 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 1: stopped there. Now about once week when you drive up 637 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 1: to it, it's got to still be a special like 638 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 1: this is a cool project that you guys did and 639 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 1: a big project, and you've got to be really proud 640 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 1: of the way it looks. And to be able to 641 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 1: walk into the building after you got it done. 642 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, when I when I walked in the first time, 643 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 4: like I like I said, I never get to see 644 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 4: the projects complete, complete, right, And I was just I 645 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 4: was blown away with the last time I was inside 646 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 4: that building, it was stud walls, stud walls, dust everywhere, 647 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 4: and I walked into completely beautiful surfaces and the front 648 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 4: cow was amazing. And I just found out he's the 649 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 4: one that made made the front counters. 650 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 1: Hey, so, Peter, how much of I understand? And that 651 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 1: to be able to oversee the project, right, Aaron's there, 652 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,239 Speaker 1: he's overseeing his team. But there's a lot of not 653 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 1: only the outside but the inside that you guys had 654 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 1: to do. But the outside has to be kind of 655 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 1: that curb appeal, and that part of it, for me personally, 656 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 1: is the most important because once they get done, it's 657 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 1: not like you can say, you know, this doesn't look exactly, 658 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,479 Speaker 1: let's redo the whole thing right the inside. If the 659 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 1: couches aren't exactly what you're looking for, you can make 660 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 1: that change, right. 661 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, it's funny because yeah, you sort of 662 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,280 Speaker 5: put a lot of faith in you commit two ideas, 663 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 5: you know, and you got to commit well in advance 664 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 5: because you know the city's got to approve it.

Yeah, 683 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 3: I was a big, straight beed, sixteen foot truck. He 684 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:36,959 Speaker 3: was like, you know, he's like, well, we're throwing us 685 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 3: out us I'll take it, you know.

We had actually kind of settled 698 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:06,720 Speaker 5: on another building, but it fell through, you know, and 699 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,000 Speaker 5: at that point, you're just so excited about starting a 700 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 5: company and it's like, oh boy, what are we gonna do? 701 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 5: You know, we don't have a building now. And so 702 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 5: that's when Nick was like, well, there's this building across 703 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 5: the street from us. It's pretty ugly and big, you know, 704 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 5: but what don't you know we could take a look 705 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 5: at it. So, you know, we took a look at 706 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,840 Speaker 5: it and sort of the ideas just started flowing. You know, 707 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 5: it's big, and we realized like we could have the 708 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 5: coffee roasting operation right there, and then there'd be plenty 709 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 5: of space for gathering and such. So you know, it 710 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 5: was uh, we we had to basically pitch the idea 711 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,480 Speaker 5: to the city because we were buying the building from 712 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:44,200 Speaker 5: the city, so we we responded to an RFP that 713 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,239 Speaker 5: they had put out years back, and so that was 714 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,280 Speaker 5: I you know, I don't even want to I don't know. 715 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:55,880 Speaker 5: I mean that took probably a year of that process, 716 00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:59,040 Speaker 5: like until we actually bought the building. I think we 717 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:03,960 Speaker 5: actually signed for the building in April of twenty twenty four, 718 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:08,840 Speaker 5: and construction was basically finishing up this summer. So it 719 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 5: was about a little over a year construction, which I 720 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:12,960 Speaker 5: was actually pretty impressed, but you know, it was a 721 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:16,480 Speaker 5: lot of work. So it was about a year of 722 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,239 Speaker 5: like the heavy construction and then sort of you know, 723 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 5: several months of you know, finishing the interior and getting 724 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 5: ready to. 725 00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,400 Speaker 1: Either of your kids going to be involved in this. 726 00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:29,120 Speaker 5: Our daughter Ella is she works for us. Yeah, she's 727 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:33,480 Speaker 5: smarter than I am, and it's helping us out quite 728 00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:35,200 Speaker 5: a bit with a lot of different things.

So you know, it's 737 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,200 Speaker 5: kind of funny because we were we were kind of like, hey, 738 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:05,080 Speaker 5: we could save money and reado our house and all 739 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:09,040 Speaker 5: this other stuff as empty nesters and vacation, or we 740 00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,640 Speaker 5: could choose to like never have another day off ever again, 741 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:13,400 Speaker 5: somehow we chose the latter. 742 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 1: Well done. 743 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:15,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, great idea. 744 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:19,880 Speaker 5: Yeah yeah no. 745 00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,840 Speaker 1: But when you said that Ella is involved in that, Yeah, 746 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:24,800 Speaker 1: she's a day to day. 747 00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,360 Speaker 5: She works there full time. Yeah, she's like a assistant 748 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 5: manager there. So she and she's been She was working 749 00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,480 Speaker 5: in the coffee industry for years before that too, so 750 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,440 Speaker 5: she's she has a lot of good amount of experience, 751 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:37,279 Speaker 5: especially for age. 752 00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 1: Maybe this maybe I should ask you this during the break, 753 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:41,799 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna throw it out there. 754 00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:45,279 Speaker 2: How to call a TiVo take that? Did that? 755 00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,360 Speaker 1: They were, Look, it's not really right down the plot, 756 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:49,960 Speaker 1: but it's in the neighbors, you know. 757 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,120 Speaker 5: I Mean, here's the thing about coffee is that there 758 00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:59,600 Speaker 5: are i mean, it's the it's the most commonly drank beverage, 759 00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:01,520 Speaker 5: you know what I mean. So there's so many coffee 760 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:05,839 Speaker 5: consumers out there, and it's really you know, there could 761 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:07,600 Speaker 5: be a coffee shop on every block, and it's just 762 00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:11,640 Speaker 5: really up to you know, the business to like convince 763 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 5: the people to come in, you know what I mean, 764 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,719 Speaker 5: because every block there's so many people that drink coffee, 765 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,400 Speaker 5: and so I mean, we're not looking at it as 766 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:20,879 Speaker 5: much in terms of like a competition standpoint. I think, 767 00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:25,520 Speaker 5: you know, competition just makes everything better, you know, And 768 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,359 Speaker 5: so you know, if we push the envelope and make 769 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,880 Speaker 5: coffee better, then you know, we're hoping that our competition 770 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:33,560 Speaker 5: sort of does the same. It does. It's good for 771 00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:35,960 Speaker 5: the industry, you know what I mean. It's not it's 772 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,040 Speaker 5: not about like taking business or anything like that, you 773 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:39,480 Speaker 5: know what I mean. 774 00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:39,799 Speaker 1: It's just. 775 00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,440 Speaker 5: Well, that's one really good thing, is uh.
