Tea Time

Caleb Morton and I were suitemates this past school year at Grove City College.  It was a great experience rooming with him and together we've shared many laughs, ideas, and cups of tea.

Now, Caleb is starting his own company called Smokesignals ( https://smokesignals.dev/ ).  Caleb speaks of his endeavor in this episode of TEA TIME!

Rob Schad has his head screwed on straight - he realized at the age of 18 that college wasn't an effective means of doing what he wanted to do.  At that time he was an Amazon and eBay arbitrage aficionado but now he is head of marketing at the hottest popcorn company in the Burgh.

We delve into points of interest such as travel, being a digital nomad, Pittsburgh, and his plans for the future.

Jeremy Denniston has lived an interesting life as a "Cyclops". He was born blind, undergone nearly 20 surgeries, dropped out of college during his second semester, was fired at Target, worked at Apple at 22 years old, broke his back while drunk, and now he owns the most eclectic coffee shop in Bellevue. That coffee shops name - the Cyclops Cafe! P.S. I originally met Jeremy 2 years ago when he worked at the Tesla store - he made a memorable impression at me but I never saw him again after that... until I was "pounding pavement" with my organic tea product in Bellevue last week and happened to walk into the coffee shop he founded. As they say, the rest is history! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-fishbowl/support
