Before founding Primal Coffee Roasters in Mackay, Dan was a Navy submariner whose travels took him from oil rigs to a family coffee plantation in Bali. When he launched Primal, keeping his business moving stayed central. Today, running a nationwide roasting operation means getting his team on the ground across Australia. His strategy for funding those trips? The American Express Velocity Business Card. By running everyday operational expenses

00:00Is that what, that's not yet is it? Yeah yeah sorry. G'day I'm Dan, founder of
00:05Primal Coffee Roasters Mackay. Even more so now than ever before has travel so
00:10much more important to me. My American Express Velocity business card has given
00:14us the opportunity to be able to just jump on a plane and head down the coast
00:19or head to suppliers to ensure that the business runs smoothly. Accumulating
00:24points and accumulating velocity points gives us the ability to jump into an
00:29event. Just recently we jumped on the plane down to Brisbane to go to a
00:32international roasting event. Without Velocity points we wouldn't have been
00:37able to do that and take the whole team down to do that. First time I ever
00:40roasted was on a plantation in Bali and that was a family plantation. Generations
00:45of families had survived and their livelihood came from this one
00:49plantation. It was amazing and being accepted and introduced to that
00:53community was I suppose the footprint or the the cornerstone to us starting
00:57coffee roasting. We'll basically run everything we can through the American
01:01Express Velocity business card. I always dig into the detail to see where we can
01:05earn points per dollar. Because we're smart with our real-world business expenses
01:09it all stacks up fast. Having the Velocity points gives us the flexibility to
01:14travel for business with Virgin Australia. So from that we'd be able to jump on a
01:19plane, go into the hot pocket of coffee in Australia, you know Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane and then be part
01:26of the
01:26growing community or the growing economy.
