Yes Dave there is an actual Salty Lake in Salt Lake City. DM me. When you come this weekend for Utah vs. BYU I’ll pick you at the airport and show you the lake. Then we can drive a dozen drive thru coffee sites we are developing. Can’t miss long term cash flow situation.

Our new coffee project is going. This has us working on dozens of coffee sites in California. I was intimidated about developing drive thru’s in CA before we entered the state earlier this year. As it turns out many municipalities in CA are great to work with & want new biz.

Both Russ the construction manager at Forza and myself will be on site sometime in the next 2 weeks in Athens. This is like a real life game of Where’s Waldo. What should the winner get?

Happy Saturday If you are reading this and you made $192 MM in crypto yesterday I have a once in a generation opportunity for you With the $192 MM in equity we could roll you in to a portfolio of 76 new 7 Brew locations. These babies will passive cash flow for years to come.
BREAKING: Look at this. A new crypto account was opened yesterday morning. 30 minutes BEFORE Trump's announcement of 100% tariffs on China, it added a huge multi-million dollar levered Bitcoin short position, per YF. The market dumped. The trader made a profit of $192 million

Saying it louder for those in the back of the room: LONG Utah! 🙌🏽
Utah’s rainy day savings: $1.5B at the end of FY25. Since 2021, we’ve paid down 66% of state general obligation (GO) debt. We have nearly 2x more in savings than in GO debt. Responsible budgets. Lower interest costs. Stronger Utah.

Mark your calendars for this pod drop in a few weeks. Amy and I go out of bounds at least twice.

IMO I think it is probably time for the Arby’s on 1300 East in Sandy, Utah to retire their reader board sign. Either the high school kids are out of control here or the employees have gone off the rails.

Life is funny. You can either cry about getting what you want or you can break 400 doors down and then get it yourself. Shanti is amazing. The energy in the CREXI office is literally next level. I hope you enjoy the pod. Shanti is putting out some amazing content.
