00:00You know, last spring, Tracy and I were down to Washington Township Park here in Avon at the Kegs and
00:06Eggs Festival.
00:07You know, we've been a sponsor there for the last three years, but haven't been able to attend.
00:12And this year we're able to attend.
00:13So we're there in our booth and this guy named Mickey walks up and just slowly walks up and says,
00:19hey, you know, you guys like kombucha?
00:22And I said, honestly, no, I don't.
00:25I said, I've tried kombucha, but every kombucha I've ever tried tastes like vinegar.
00:32And Mickey just smiled and said, I think maybe ours will change your mind.
00:38And, you know, it wasn't a sales pitch, you know, it wasn't like any kind of a pressure deal.
00:43You know, it's just someone who genuinely believed in what his family and they had created.
00:52You know, so anyway, a little while later I said, hey, Tracy, I'm going to go over and get a
00:57sample.
00:58So I went over there and I met his wife, Caitlin, and I got a sample and I was surprised,
01:04you know, not just because I liked it, because I like them.
01:08You know, as I got to know Mickey and Caitlin over the next couple of weeks, you know, Tracy and
01:15I realized that, you know,
01:17we had more in common with them than probably just kombucha.
01:20You know, we both believe that business is about relationships.
01:24You know, it's about trust.
01:26It's about taking care of people.
01:28You know, that's exactly how we've always tried to build humanity health.
01:33And that's why we think this partnership felt so natural.
01:37So if you'd like to hear the whole story, I wrote a blog about it this week.
01:42So I hope you take a couple minutes and read it.
01:45Thanks for letting me share our story.
01:50Peace.
01:50Take care of yourself.
