FedEx Meeting with Famous Person Photobomb

This past week has been an incredible amount of serendipity for Super Happy Juice.  Our FedEx account manager was able to deliver with a very positive shipping structure that will really give us the flexibility to launch our Brand.  He has been just incredible with his efforts and results.  And, we were blessed with a “famous person” photobomb in my PotD.  If you can guess who it is, I will send you a free bottle or two of Super Happy Juice–shipped via FedEx, of course!

Super Happy Juice also had a fantastic experience at a Pre-Grammy Party promoted by PlanetLA Music and hosted at The Village Recording Studios

There was an incredible amount of like-minded people and a great way to begin to promote the brand.

Of course, it makes it easy when your business partner is very photogenic.

Last week, I made it up to San Fransisco for the Fancy Foods Show

I used to live in Berkeley, and returning to The City brought back a few memories.  There is an energy in SF that is vibrant and palpable; different than Los Angeles, which is a little flashier. I definitely need to visit more!

As the focus of this post, I made several new contacts and reestablished a few older ones.  It’s refreshing to see people after a “break” of a couple of years, and be able to pick up where we left off.  Lesson Learned:  ALWAYS be polite, nice, and memorable.  (aka, Super Happy)

Today I had two events at the alma mater UCLA-Anderson.  One event was listening to David Booth, co Founder of Dimensional Fund Advisors, www.dfaus.com, and someone who gave a few hundred million to endow a business school.  (Many Million) I have a standing rule to always listen to a Billionaire, regardless of what they are saying.  They have done something right, and there is always something to learn.

The second event was a mentoring event put on by Anderson EDGE, a great program run by an alumni friend of mine.  I was able to reconnect with a person I mentored last year, and catch up with some challenges she was having with her sales team.  Additionally, I was able to help two other former classmates of mine with some of their sales challenges too.  In a nice, quid pro quo I was also recommended to a few good people that can help @SuperHappyJuice.

Very excited about the next few days.  Our website is going live on Friday, so I’m relying on some very trusted people.

I wouldn’t want it any other way.
