Having the right Investors is the most important! Sometimes, business isn’t just about the meetings and numbers; It’s about the unexpected support that comes your way. Today, I experienced that in a surprising way. My day started with a major hiccup: my flight to Toronto was canceled. With an important meeting on the line. I called one of our investors—and, conveniently, a pilot. Explaining my situation, I asked if he could help. Without hesitation, he agreed to fly me himself. Within hours, I was in the air, and we made it to Toronto in time for my meeting. It was a successful morning, and it reminded me of the incredible network we have. It’s not every day you can count on your investors to help you out of a tight spot . Today’s experience reinforced the value of having investors who are genuinely there for you, not just in terms of funding but as true partners in the journey. Huge thanks to Frank Saltarelli for the lift and for being such a reliable part of our team. Cheers to the people who make the journey possible! #investors #finance #entrepreneurship #cpg #chocolate #grocery #travel

Saw your peanut butta bars last night in IAH after 18 hours in the air. Had to get some!

Love this Jake! Hope the meeting was a big success. 💪 All you needed was a 50-meter MDS banner to attach to the tail assembly and you could have picked up a bit of free in-the-air, out-of-home advertising on the flight over! 😂
