then talk about your, your products and your shop, your coffee shop. 17 00:02:08,954.027 --> 00:02:09,194.027 Sure. 18 00:02:09,194.027 --> 00:02:09,824.027 Absolutely. 19 00:02:10,164.027 --> 00:02:11,244.027 I'm very happy to be here. 20 00:02:11,424.027 --> 00:02:11,994.027 Thank you. 21 00:02:12,24.027 --> 00:02:13,164.027 My name is Lindsay Soo. 22 00:02:13,794.027 --> 00:02:18,54.027 I am the founder of Lavender Coffee Boutique in Denver, Colorado. 23 00:02:18,714.027 --> 00:02:23,394.027 And we are a coffee company, but we are a wellness focused coffee company. 24 00:02:23,784.027 --> 00:02:26,844.027 We have a roastery, so we make all of our products ourself. 25 00:02:27,274.027 --> 00:02:31,924.027 And we have our coffee shop one location open here in Denver right now. 26 00:02:32,294.027 --> 00:02:35,24.027 And we also sell our products online, direct to consumer. 27 00:02:36,259.027 --> 00:02:36,769.027 Very cool. 28 00:02:36,769.027 --> 00:02:41,79.027 So I was, researching you and, it was fascinating to me. 29 00:02:41,199.027 --> 00:02:57,69.027 So I see a lot of women as patients often who are in their midwives and at that time something happens where they want to give up whatever they were doing and maybe establish something new for themselves. 30 00:02:57,399.027 --> 00:03:00,69.027 So while I was reading about you, I was like. 31 00:03:00,409.027 --> 00:03:09,619.027 Maybe this is something that happened to you, maybe not in your midlife, but something that inspired you to make a change for yourself. 32 00:03:09,949.027 --> 00:03:13,379.027 From what I understand, you were previously an interior designer. 33 00:03:13,799.027 --> 00:03:14,939.027 Maybe you still are. 34 00:03:15,179.027 --> 00:03:17,149.027 Yes, I thank you for the question. 35 00:03:17,179.027 --> 00:03:20,929.027 Yeah, I've had, it's been like a, I guess a non-linear journey to get here. 36 00:03:21,389.027 --> 00:03:25,649.027 I started my career in branding and marketing and advertising. 37 00:03:25,769.027 --> 00:03:26,129.027 Okay. 38 00:03:26,289.027 --> 00:03:29,769.027 And then so with that, I learned this idea of. 39 00:03:29,849.027 --> 00:03:35,249.027 Developing brands and developing stories around brands and how to connect with consumers. 40 00:03:35,249.027 --> 00:03:37,169.027 And I, I always, I found that really interesting. 41 00:03:37,779.027 --> 00:03:40,479.027 I really, I enjoyed that line of work. 42 00:03:40,529.027 --> 00:03:47,809.027 And then we had our children, so I'm, I have a couple children and I took a step back from that from the marketing. 43 00:03:48,319.027 --> 00:03:57,559.027 Career and then we went through this massive home renovation and I've always had an interest in interior design and I took the entire project on myself. 44 00:03:57,619.027 --> 00:04:03,189.027 And I did the whole thing and got such great reaction from people that I started a. 45 00:04:03,874.027 --> 00:04:26,464.027 An interior design business, and it's a small one, but I had a lot of fun helping people to create timeless, classic comfortable spaces that you wanna spend time in and that are also functional because I think that's really important, especially as somebody who has a family and children and dogs and stuff that is practical and functional, but, and it can also be beautiful and timeless and elegant. 46 00:04:26,464.027 --> 00:04:28,944.027 And so finding that right balance and then. 47 00:04:30,159.027 --> 00:04:32,319.027 Fast forward to now, we, where we are today. 48 00:04:32,399.027 --> 00:04:38,639.027 Just had this idea of taking this morning ritual of coffee that is something that I really enjoy. 49 00:04:38,639.027 --> 00:04:41,189.027 It's a, an important part of my life. 50 00:04:41,469.027 --> 00:04:50,829.027 It's the time when I find a few moments of peace of meditation, of intentionality and mindfulness where I can say, okay, here's what I'm gonna do today. 51 00:04:51,39.027 --> 00:04:52,899.027 Here's how I'm gonna approach this day. 52 00:04:53,359.027 --> 00:05:03,804.027 I'm gonna try to approach it with an attitude of gratitude, which sometimes is not easier said than done just trying to set the right mindset with this morning ritual. 53 00:05:03,804.027 --> 00:05:05,244.027 So the thought was. 54 00:05:06,24.027 --> 00:05:07,944.027 Let's develop this for other people. 55 00:05:08,304.027 --> 00:05:13,764.027 So then, in comes my sort of brand storytelling background too. 56 00:05:14,154.027 --> 00:05:19,184.027 And we developed this brand that is a little more female focused, I'd say. 57 00:05:19,234.027 --> 00:05:30,734.027 It's a little softer profile in the coffee space and is really trying to connect with people through their daily routines and how to have a healthy, wellness focused daily routine. 58 00:05:31,114.027 --> 00:05:32,914.027 And so that's where Lavender was born. 59 00:05:34,444.027 --> 00:05:44,24.027 And why the wellness brand? What inspired you to get into wellness? Because there are a lot of people who like yourself, are entrepreneurs, but they don't necessarily dabble in that. 60 00:05:44,744.027 --> 00:05:47,954.027 So what inspired you to do that? I think that. 61 00:05:48,469.027 --> 00:06:14,669.027 I think that thinking about coffee as a part of a wellness routine is something that isn't often done or is maybe something that's thought about increasingly, like there are more and more benefits coming out in research around the benefits of drinking coffee and how it can help your gut health and, antioxidant rich, nature of coffee and I guess having this wellness and a routine, I think routine is really important in life. 62 00:06:14,719.027 --> 00:06:17,589.027 It's something that I enjoy, something I seek out. 63 00:06:17,589.027 --> 00:06:24,469.027 It's something that helps me feel balanced and like I can get through things if I'm like, okay, I got my routine and like I know what I'm doing. 64 00:06:24,499.027 --> 00:06:32,649.027 And, it's obviously it gets messed up sometimes, but for the most part, I guess having that and having, and I think that is a major part of wellness. 65 00:06:33,204.027 --> 00:06:39,144.027 And so having, your daily routine being a healthier coffee option that's really what we're going for. 66 00:06:39,964.027 --> 00:06:51,194.027 So tell us about some of your, coffee products and what inspired you to make them, tell us about the ingredients and how you came about naming them what you have. 67 00:06:51,494.027 --> 00:06:52,334.027 Yeah, sure. 68 00:06:52,334.027 --> 00:06:55,994.027 We have our line of coffees that we roast in-house. 69 00:06:55,999.027 --> 00:07:03,329.027 We go to small farm holders around the globe to try to find the best specialty coffees that we can. 70 00:07:03,819.027 --> 00:07:09,819.027 And we source coffees that have an inherent sweetness and are more balanced flavor. 71 00:07:10,219.027 --> 00:07:16,469.027 And we generally try to roast to a softer, more gentle acid profile. 72 00:07:17,109.027 --> 00:07:26,689.027 And so that, takes time and it means that we sm small batch roast our coffees with our head roaster and he's involved in, all the roasting. 73 00:07:26,689.027 --> 00:07:30,559.027 So you know, we can maintain a really high quality product. 74 00:07:31,164.027 --> 00:07:35,424.027 So we have our line of coffees, and then we have our cafe in Denver. 75 00:07:35,754.027 --> 00:07:38,634.027 And there, we make all of our own syrups. 76 00:07:38,874.027 --> 00:07:42,504.027 We we, try to use less sugar. 77 00:07:42,564.027 --> 00:07:48,84.027 We don't use preservatives, so trying to, attack, the wellness aspect from that too. 78 00:07:48,114.027 --> 00:07:51,94.027 Having a healthier, flavoring in your coffee. 79 00:07:51,144.027 --> 00:07:53,874.027 And yeah, we have some really fun drinks on our menu. 80 00:07:54,184.027 --> 00:07:57,694.027 We have a seasonal menu and it comes out, once season. 81 00:07:57,694.027 --> 00:08:02,634.027 Right now we've got a sapar float and it tastes like a root beer float. 82 00:08:02,874.027 --> 00:08:03,204.027 Okay. 83 00:08:03,474.027 --> 00:08:04,524.027 With coffee in it. 84 00:08:04,524.027 --> 00:08:10,354.027 And we actually include a an adaptogenic mushroom in it as well. 85 00:08:10,354.027 --> 00:08:11,914.027 We've got some added benefits there. 86 00:08:12,739.027 --> 00:08:16,879.027 Tell me about the adaptogens and the, specifically the mushrooms. 87 00:08:16,879.027 --> 00:08:21,919.027 'cause I know that those are very popular or becoming more popular right now. 88 00:08:21,919.027 --> 00:08:29,469.027 What are the, what are some of the health benefits to that? Yeah, so we are just starting to to use. 89 00:08:29,784.027 --> 00:08:31,704.027 Adaptogenic in, in mushrooms. 90 00:08:31,704.027 --> 00:08:34,134.027 So this is our first sort of foray into it. 91 00:08:34,494.027 --> 00:08:48,64.027 So we're still learning about all the benefits and experimenting with the best ways to to incorporate the sort of idea to extend the wellness properties of what we're producing and what we're selling to our customers and getting their feedback. 92 00:08:48,64.027 --> 00:08:53,464.027 And it's something that we're still trying to figure out how we're gonna incorporate that more into our products. 93 00:08:54,94.027 --> 00:09:10,129.027 I, there is one brand that I have at home and what I notice with the mushroom coffees is sometimes, and I tend to make my coffees a little bit stronger, admittedly, but I've noticed that I don't feel the jitteriness. 94 00:09:10,789.027 --> 00:09:14,449.027 That I sometimes do with just, the coffee that I brew. 95 00:09:14,869.027 --> 00:09:21,199.027 And at the same time it gives me that boost and, that energy lift that that sometimes I'm seeking. 96 00:09:21,619.027 --> 00:09:30,164.027 Yes, so I think that is probably the biggest benefit right now that you're seeing from a mushroom inclusion or adaptogen in your coffee. 97 00:09:30,164.027 --> 00:09:33,134.027 We also have a line of coffees that are hemp infused. 98 00:09:33,234.027 --> 00:09:36,234.027 Which we actually produce at our roastery as well. 99 00:09:36,324.027 --> 00:09:44,894.027 So we infuse our coffee beans with or organic hemp oil at the right time of production or of right after it's roasted. 100 00:09:45,414.027 --> 00:09:48,209.027 And then you get a maximum absorption into the bean. 101 00:09:48,239.027 --> 00:09:50,579.027 So it's actually a part of the coffee. 102 00:09:50,854.027 --> 00:09:58,914.027 So when you have your beans and you grind them up and you brew them, then it's a little more uniform throughout your cup of coffee. 103 00:09:58,914.027 --> 00:10:14,674.027 And it has a very similar effect to the mushroom where, you just feel this sort of calm focus and it's like you're alert and I feel like when I drink it I'm ready to get my day done and, have my lists and I'm organized and I feel like I'm ready to perform. 104 00:10:15,74.027 --> 00:10:21,764.027 And then it also eliminates the jitters so you don't get that like jittery feeling that you get when you have too much caffeine. 105 00:10:22,859.027 --> 00:10:33,509.027 Most of your customers are, do they tend to be women or is it a mixed bag that comes into the store or orders online? It it's a mixed bag. 106 00:10:33,569.027 --> 00:10:34,289.027 Oh, okay. 107 00:10:34,619.027 --> 00:10:39,909.027 Yeah we have lots of female customers and we have lots of male customers. 108 00:10:40,9.027 --> 00:10:54,89.027 And it's really fun to see that having a little bit more of a feminine profile that it's, we still, we have men who are interested in our coffees because we make good coffee and it taste and it's smooth and it's a gentle acid. 109 00:10:54,599.027 --> 00:10:55,529.027 For the most part. 110 00:10:55,529.027 --> 00:10:57,999.027 And so we're attracting a lot of people. 111 00:10:58,654.027 --> 00:11:11,864.027 How do you market to your customers? Obviously there's the local population but in terms of distributing to I, I don't know if you're worldwide or how do you market your products? Great question. 112 00:11:11,864.027 --> 00:11:13,904.027 So we're just in the US right now. 113 00:11:14,544.027 --> 00:11:18,534.027 We have our website, which is lavender cb.com. 114 00:11:18,534.027 --> 00:11:19,704.027 We're on Instagram. 115 00:11:20,194.027 --> 00:11:21,994.027 We are on affiliate. 116 00:11:22,624.027 --> 00:11:23,854.027 Now as well. 117 00:11:23,854.027 --> 00:11:27,704.027 And so that that's been the basis of our marketing efforts thus far. 118 00:11:28,94.027 --> 00:11:28,574.027 Okay. 119 00:11:29,234.027 --> 00:11:36,544.027 And tell me, which one is your favorite coffee and why?

We do sell, at our shop. 135 00:12:26,839.027 --> 00:12:29,379.027 We do have herbal teas and okay. 136 00:12:29,444.027 --> 00:12:36,624.027 We are producing or we're experimenting a little bit with an energy soda, which is a fun one, but that one does have caffeine in it. 137 00:12:36,654.027 --> 00:12:36,684.027 Okay. 138 00:12:37,669.027 --> 00:12:41,419.027 We have an a hibiscus tea that's on tap. 139 00:12:41,469.027 --> 00:12:50,379.027 We're always coming up with new fun ways to bring our customers in and have them try a new flavor profile or, experience something new. 140 00:12:51,264.027 --> 00:13:17,144.027 Are you finding that more people are getting into coffee because of its health benefits? And how do you market those health benefits to your clients, your customers to attract them? What obviously it's not a pitch 'cause as you were saying, there are many health benefits to coffee, but maybe you could share, what you, how you advertise so we can understand the benefits of coffee for the general. 141 00:13:17,169.027 --> 00:13:22,359.027 General population or more so for our listening audience? Sure, absolutely. 142 00:13:22,359.027 --> 00:13:27,974.027 Yeah, I think, there's a, coffee is a ritual that is enjoyed by people worldwide. 143 00:13:28,74.027 --> 00:13:30,24.027 It's a pretty broad market. 144 00:13:30,144.027 --> 00:13:32,274.027 It's, there's a lot of players out there. 145 00:13:32,974.027 --> 00:13:36,494.027 And I think I guess what differentiates us. 146 00:13:37,204.027 --> 00:13:46,164.027 From a marketing standpoint is that we we are really focused on this idea of high quality roasting. 147 00:13:47,94.027 --> 00:13:51,564.027 So we have this sort of like slower method where we it takes more time. 148 00:13:51,564.027 --> 00:13:53,844.027 That's an interesting aspect that we like to. 149 00:13:54,334.027 --> 00:14:00,564.027 Point out to our customers and show them that, because we are slower roasting our coffee. 150 00:14:00,564.027 --> 00:14:03,634.027 That it, it's a higher quality product that you're getting in the end. 151 00:14:04,424.027 --> 00:14:09,794.027 So I think that's probably the biggest kind of marketing, standpoint that we can have. 152 00:14:09,794.027 --> 00:14:15,714.027 It's just like our high quality and the care with which we put into creating our products for our customers. 153 00:14:16,419.027 --> 00:14:16,869.027 Okay. 154 00:14:17,559.027 --> 00:14:35,189.027 And as as opposed to someone going to Starbucks or, like a generic coffee shop, how do your customers differ? What are they seeking from you that they can't get anywhere else? I think what they're seeking is, community and connection. 155 00:14:35,239.027 --> 00:14:40,99.027 So I think there's this sort of trend where people are really looking for a connection. 156 00:14:40,159.027 --> 00:14:51,299.027 And so when they come into our shop we are really trained to, to connect with people, to remember names, to remember orders, ask how your day is going. 157 00:14:51,349.027 --> 00:14:54,199.027 We try to be a real hospitality first. 158 00:14:54,784.027 --> 00:14:59,664.027 Place where people can come in, they can put their phone down, they can have a conversation. 159 00:15:00,154.027 --> 00:15:09,884.027 We do have people who come in on the weekends, like couples will come in and they'll bring crossword or puzzles to play together instead of, being on their phones. 160 00:15:09,884.027 --> 00:15:20,84.027 And so I think that's something that's really resonating with people that I think has gotten lost in the like, hectic, quick serve culture of coffee. 161 00:15:21,149.027 --> 00:15:36,419.027 Was this one of your visions that you wanted to create, this kind of space where you can bring back the intimacy, the connection that we had prior to our phones and whatever other gadgets we have these days. 162 00:15:36,419.027 --> 00:15:45,119.027 Is that something you envisioned for yourself or for your store, or is it something that just happened? No, it's definitely part of the vision. 163 00:15:45,669.027 --> 00:15:49,589.027 Taking this moment to connect with others, connect with yourself. 164 00:15:50,189.027 --> 00:16:03,194.027 Just take, taking a moment that it feels calm and feels collected and like you, you can reflect and you can have a, or have a nice conversation with somebody and just and I think really the biggest thing is the connection. 165 00:16:03,959.027 --> 00:16:19,629.027 What other things did you envision when you set to create this store and create all the products that you have? I think what we set out to create is someplace where, you know, a physical location. 166 00:16:20,529.027 --> 00:16:28,149.027 Because, we do have the online aspect as well, but take not be a fly by night sort of brand. 167 00:16:28,199.027 --> 00:16:34,869.027 We have our physical location where people come in, they have an experience we like to call it the lavender experience. 168 00:16:34,929.027 --> 00:16:40,179.027 And and it's just something that, you walk away from and you say, wow, that was really nice. 169 00:16:40,509.027 --> 00:16:45,189.027 I'm not, I can't put my finger on exactly what was the best part, but. 170 00:16:45,594.027 --> 00:16:47,424.027 I had a great experience there. 171 00:16:47,834.027 --> 00:16:50,714.027 And I'd like to do it again, and I'd like to spend more time there. 172 00:16:51,644.027 --> 00:16:58,424.027 What is the lavender experience? It sounds lovely, like I wanna go, I want to have, I want to have a lavender experience. 173 00:16:58,574.027 --> 00:16:58,994.027 Yeah. 174 00:16:59,354.027 --> 00:17:11,219.027 So it's the experience is being welcomed into a physical space where, you have a focus on amazing coffee. 175 00:17:12,114.027 --> 00:17:21,164.027 On wonderful customer service and, and the aesthetic and the feeling that you get while you're in the space is a good one. 176 00:17:21,744.027 --> 00:17:34,709.027 You feel like all the touch points feel like they're in place and I think it's more like you can't put your finger on exactly what it is that is feels so good about it, but the combination of all the elements makes it feel great. 177 00:17:35,654.027 --> 00:17:47,494.027 Are you getting more customers across the US or is it more Colorado and the west coast that you serve? So we serve mostly Denver now. 178 00:17:47,574.027 --> 00:17:50,124.027 And I think our reach is starting to grow. 179 00:17:50,334.027 --> 00:17:58,714.027 We we're still a new brand, so we're we're working it out, and, in trying to trying to capture a larger audience for sure. 180 00:17:58,754.027 --> 00:18:05,484.027 I definitely have a large following of women who listen to this podcast, so hopefully they'll listen to it. 181 00:18:05,484.027 --> 00:18:11,764.027 And obviously we will include all the you, information you include in our show notes and before we end, we'll, repeat it again. 182 00:18:11,764.027 --> 00:18:14,104.027 Those who are listening have that information. 183 00:18:14,584.027 --> 00:18:27,94.027 I, like I mentioned to you, I have a lot of women who are my patients who follow me and one of the things I was mentioning that there often is change in their lives at times. 184 00:18:27,94.027 --> 00:18:31,984.027 And sometimes it has to do with career changes where they. 185 00:18:32,309.027 --> 00:18:40,819.027 May go in, in an entirely different direction from marketing to, being an entrepreneur like yourself. 186 00:18:41,299.027 --> 00:18:48,649.027 And often that comes with fear, uncertainty, doubt, which is obviously normal. 187 00:18:49,9.027 --> 00:18:53,529.027 What would you advise women like this in terms of. 188 00:18:54,834.027 --> 00:18:58,944.027 Taking the next step in terms of having faith in themselves. 189 00:18:59,174.027 --> 00:19:05,794.027 What did you go through when you made this transition? Oh it's definitely not an easy one. 190 00:19:05,824.027 --> 00:19:06,244.027 No. 191 00:19:06,634.027 --> 00:19:10,594.027 I think it comes with with a lot of self-reflection. 192 00:19:10,714.027 --> 00:19:13,14.027 A lot of affording yourself grace. 193 00:19:13,114.027 --> 00:19:19,204.027 A lot of saying, okay, I might have certain expectations around things, but. 194 00:19:19,804.027 --> 00:19:30,434.027 Those are probably gonna have to go out the window because I think just deciding to be accepting and be dynamic. 195 00:19:30,734.027 --> 00:19:35,234.027 And versatile and be able to say, okay, I'm just, I'm gonna have to roll with this. 196 00:19:35,504.027 --> 00:19:42,494.027 I don't know where this is gonna go, but all I can do is say, I'm gonna do my best every day. 197 00:19:42,674.027 --> 00:19:44,474.027 I'm gonna put one foot in front of the other. 198 00:19:44,564.027 --> 00:19:54,334.027 And there will be mistakes and there will be answers to, fix those things or get, kinda to get back on the right track. 199 00:19:54,644.027 --> 00:19:56,564.027 There's always gonna be headwinds. 200 00:19:56,614.027 --> 00:20:12,334.027 But I think that at the end of the day, if you can continue to have this mentality of remembering what your vision is and make, try to make one small step toward it every day, I think that really helps. 201 00:20:12,914.027 --> 00:20:14,654.027 Because it does take time. 202 00:20:15,194.027 --> 00:20:21,544.027 And it, and I'm clearly still building this and trying to figure out where it's gonna go in the end, and it's a journey. 203 00:20:21,924.027 --> 00:20:28,464.027 But we're making good strides and we're having fun doing it, and we're learning a lot about ourselves, about the world. 204 00:20:28,494.027 --> 00:20:30,274.027 And I think that's really important. 205 00:20:30,469.027 --> 00:20:45,349.027 Yeah it sounds like you've always been an entrepreneur at heart and to share with you that's some, not something that I realized about my own self until I was well out of medical school and out of training. 206 00:20:45,769.027 --> 00:20:51,919.027 And it was when I started my own practice that I first had that experience. 207 00:20:52,134.027 --> 00:21:00,774.027 Of becoming an entrepreneur and everything that you've just ex described are those feelings that I've had. 208 00:21:00,774.027 --> 00:21:12,114.027 And even now having this podcast and just doing numerous things outside of, my daily grind of seeing patients day in and day out. 209 00:21:12,534.027 --> 00:21:16,374.027 I label that as being an entrepreneur because it's different. 210 00:21:16,374.027 --> 00:21:17,394.027 It's something that. 211 00:21:17,449.027 --> 00:21:32,229.027 There, there are other doctors who do it and they do it very well, but it's a different thing and you develop it and sometimes you have to figure out right, what succeeds and what, or how to make something that isn't necessarily working. 212 00:21:32,799.027 --> 00:21:37,434.027 Change that, and not necessarily just, fall back and get frustrated by that. 213 00:21:37,914.027 --> 00:21:39,714.027 Where I'm leading to is. 214 00:21:40,319.027 --> 00:21:45,639.027 You're developing this and hopefully this will become much more recognized. 215 00:21:45,939.027 --> 00:21:51,964.027 But in the time that you've had this store and your products, tell us about a two situations. 216 00:21:51,964.027 --> 00:21:57,424.027 One, where you were able to make a situation that wasn't ideal. 217 00:21:58,204.027 --> 00:22:06,589.027 Maybe if you wanna label it as a failure into something positive, and then tell us about something that was, was, successful right away. 218 00:22:07,284.027 --> 00:22:07,644.027 Sure. 219 00:22:08,164.027 --> 00:22:08,434.027 Okay. 220 00:22:08,434.027 --> 00:22:14,484.027 When we were about to open our doors to the cafe I had ordered these beautiful tables. 221 00:22:14,784.027 --> 00:22:16,374.027 I was so excited about these tables. 222 00:22:16,374.027 --> 00:22:19,494.027 They were beautiful, black marble tabletops. 223 00:22:19,494.027 --> 00:22:21,204.027 It was exactly what I had envisioned. 224 00:22:21,204.027 --> 00:22:26,274.027 I had ordered them eight months in advance and they were coming from, I don't even know where. 225 00:22:26,904.027 --> 00:22:35,154.027 And we were like about 10 days out from opening, and I get this email that said, your tables have been delivered. 226 00:22:35,544.027 --> 00:22:37,344.027 I was like not to me they haven't. 227 00:22:38,409.027 --> 00:22:47,589.027 So somehow these tables that I, we'd spent a fortune on and had been waiting for eight months, got lost somewhere. 228 00:22:47,619.027 --> 00:22:49,689.027 They're, I don't even, I still don't even know where they are. 229 00:22:49,779.027 --> 00:22:52,149.027 They got lost, they're gone. 230 00:22:53,169.027 --> 00:22:55,269.027 So we had no tables for opening. 231 00:22:56,179.027 --> 00:22:58,429.027 We had to make do with what we could. 232 00:22:58,544.027 --> 00:23:03,264.027 And, fortunately, you just gotta roll with the punches and those kinds of things happen. 233 00:23:03,264.027 --> 00:23:05,64.027 And so we figured it out. 234 00:23:05,394.027 --> 00:23:12,474.027 We came up with an alternative solution and we were able to open on time as we wanted to. 235 00:23:12,564.027 --> 00:23:14,744.027 But, that was that was like a little panic. 236 00:23:14,744.027 --> 00:23:21,714.027 And then oh my gosh, what? How does this even happen? There was like, 10, it was thousands of pounds of tables. 237 00:23:22,329.027 --> 00:23:25,869.027 Just gone and you still dunno where they're, I dunno what happened to them. 238 00:23:26,769.027 --> 00:23:27,279.027 No. 239 00:23:27,279.027 --> 00:23:30,419.027 So that was a let's figure out a solution right there. 240 00:23:30,519.027 --> 00:23:33,739.027 As far as successes let's see. 241 00:23:33,739.027 --> 00:23:42,169.027 I think that probably something that has been an immediate success is this idea of this seasonal menu in our shop. 242 00:23:42,289.027 --> 00:23:46,519.027 That people just, they love, they get excited for this switchover. 243 00:23:46,519.027 --> 00:23:48,589.027 Whenever it is, we tease it out. 244 00:23:49,49.027 --> 00:23:54,719.027 We have new flavors, new ideas, things that you wouldn't even imagine put together. 245 00:23:54,719.027 --> 00:23:55,19.027 Are, yeah. 246 00:23:55,639.027 --> 00:24:08,349.027 We're developing the summer menu right now, and our menu developer, who I call the palette, he he's oh gosh, I've developed this like lemon poppy seed scone latte that you're never gonna, it's gonna knock your socks off. 247 00:24:08,419.027 --> 00:24:09,709.027 Oh, great. 248 00:24:10,39.027 --> 00:24:10,969.027 Can't wait to try it. 249 00:24:10,969.027 --> 00:24:14,359.027 That's been really fun to see those kind of successes too. 250 00:24:15,89.027 --> 00:24:29,709.027 So with each season that you have, do you kind, rotate between different products or do you keep some staples? Each season, so whenever there's something that really connects to people and they really love it, then we will try to keep it on the. 251 00:24:30,119.027 --> 00:24:31,469.027 The static menu. 252 00:24:31,649.027 --> 00:24:37,639.027 But, we try to try new things and then maybe we'll bring it back if people really want it. 253 00:24:37,789.027 --> 00:24:39,294.027 Again it's, that's a fun process. 254 00:24:39,934.027 --> 00:24:40,54.027 I. 255 00:24:40,784.027 --> 00:24:41,834.027 There, there used to be. 256 00:24:41,834.027 --> 00:24:50,954.027 And I think and hopefully you, it won't happen to you, but there used to be a very popular restaurant a very like chic kind of restaurant in New York City called, it was Park Avenue. 257 00:24:50,954.027 --> 00:24:58,924.027 And with each season they had, park Avenue, spring Park Avenue, winter, and their their menus shifted each season. 258 00:24:59,134.027 --> 00:25:01,874.027 So I had my baby a baby shower in the winter. 259 00:25:01,874.027 --> 00:25:03,884.027 I was hoping it would be the spring. 260 00:25:07,304.027 --> 00:25:11,744.027 But my child came a bit early, so we were still in the winter season. 261 00:25:12,94.027 --> 00:25:20,264.027 So I loved that concept and I loved how the restaurant kind of transformed into each season. 262 00:25:21,284.027 --> 00:25:29,84.027 And so is that something that you do in your own restaurant where the de maybe the decor also shifts? Or is that. 263 00:25:29,759.027 --> 00:25:32,479.027 Is that the standard? No, not so much the decor. 264 00:25:32,479.027 --> 00:25:34,129.027 It's really just our offering. 265 00:25:34,159.027 --> 00:25:40,64.027 We try to offer something that's a little bit different, a little different than, what other people have in mind. 266 00:25:40,294.027 --> 00:25:40,584.027 Yeah. 267 00:25:41,269.027 --> 00:25:41,659.027 Yeah. 268 00:25:41,869.027 --> 00:25:42,79.027 Yeah. 269 00:25:42,79.027 --> 00:25:42,559.027 That's cool. 270 00:25:42,559.027 --> 00:25:49,979.027 So what, you went from marketing to interior design, right? And then into coffee. 271 00:25:49,979.027 --> 00:25:59,879.027 Is that something that you've always been passionate about or were you just an avid coffee drinker? What led you to coffee itself? Coffee, I guess I've. 272 00:26:00,449.027 --> 00:26:03,839.027 I've always enjoyed coffee and I'm an avid coffee drinker. 273 00:26:03,889.027 --> 00:26:20,989.027 Am I a coffee expert? I've never been a coffee expert, especially now that I am in the industry and have have our amazing, like roasters and pe they're like wine somalias, right? And taste, and I'm getting there, but it's definitely an education and it's really it's cool to learn about. 274 00:26:20,989.027 --> 00:26:27,149.027 It's a neat new new aspect, of my life that I didn't really expect to have, have happen. 275 00:26:27,549.027 --> 00:26:34,754.027 It's funny 'cause many years ago, my husband and I he had always said it would be really fun if we had a coffee shop someday. 276 00:26:34,809.027 --> 00:26:37,29.027 And so he's involved in it too. 277 00:26:37,119.027 --> 00:26:38,939.027 And it just turns out that. 278 00:26:39,529.027 --> 00:26:50,249.027 I guess it's, this is the one, so it's something we've talked about over the years, but had never really had never really thought could happen, and then we just decided, let's make it happen. 279 00:26:52,739.027 --> 00:27:07,694.027 So with your brands, are there any upcoming new expansions for Lavender Coffee Boutique, or are you, engaged in any other new projects that we'd love to hear about? Sure. 280 00:27:07,694.027 --> 00:27:15,664.027 We are currently developing plans to add two to three new locations here in the Denver area. 281 00:27:15,754.027 --> 00:27:16,54.027 Okay. 282 00:27:16,304.027 --> 00:27:20,64.027 So we're, it's a long process to get that up and running. 283 00:27:20,154.027 --> 00:27:20,844.027 Yes. 284 00:27:21,414.027 --> 00:27:22,554.027 But we're in process. 285 00:27:22,554.027 --> 00:27:29,74.027 So within the next 12 months, we will prob likely have I don't know if it'll be three or four locations total out here. 286 00:27:29,654.027 --> 00:27:33,744.027 And then, we're really working to grow our our online presence. 287 00:27:33,824.027 --> 00:27:37,934.027 And so that'll be another focus and expanding, across the country, hopefully. 288 00:27:38,514.027 --> 00:27:55,374.027 Do you have an active Instagram page where customers can follow you? What, where do people outside of Denver, like what, where is your largest reach? Is it Instagram, is it TikTok? Where do you get your most of your followers from? Mostly from Instagram. 289 00:27:55,374.027 --> 00:27:55,375.027 Okay. 290 00:27:55,764.027 --> 00:27:55,914.027 Yeah. 291 00:27:55,914.027 --> 00:27:59,304.027 So our Instagram handle is at lavender dot cb. 292 00:28:00,304.027 --> 00:28:03,524.027 And the, we have a lot of fun stuff on our page. 293 00:28:04,4.027 --> 00:28:04,904.027 And in our feed. 294 00:28:05,54.027 --> 00:28:07,694.027 So we really enjoy working on that. 295 00:28:07,774.027 --> 00:28:13,864.027 And that's probably our biggest, we haven't, we've dipped our toes a little bit into TikTok, but still developing that. 296 00:28:15,34.027 --> 00:28:18,234.027 I think I explored TikTok for five minutes. 297 00:28:18,274.027 --> 00:28:19,504.027 And then I don't know why. 298 00:28:19,504.027 --> 00:28:22,24.027 It just, I just never fully grasped it. 299 00:28:23,854.027 --> 00:28:24,484.027 I can relate. 300 00:28:24,484.027 --> 00:28:25,384.027 I, yeah. 301 00:28:25,744.027 --> 00:28:25,894.027 Yeah. 302 00:28:25,894.027 --> 00:28:31,94.027 We have a some younger people who work with us and, yeah, come on, we gotta get on TikTok. 303 00:28:31,94.027 --> 00:28:31,604.027 I'm like, I. 304 00:28:32,604.027 --> 00:28:32,894.027 Okay. 305 00:28:34,109.027 --> 00:28:39,239.027 Someday I think I, I even have a TikTok account. 306 00:28:39,289.027 --> 00:28:41,29.027 Not, yeah, I think I do. 307 00:28:41,29.027 --> 00:28:49,694.027 And I did maybe one thing on it, so it's somewhere out in cyberspace but for whatever reason I have not fully delved into it. 308 00:28:50,114.027 --> 00:28:50,594.027 Yeah. 309 00:28:50,654.027 --> 00:28:51,674.027 Not sure why. 310 00:28:52,214.027 --> 00:28:56,84.027 I'm sure there's lots of things that, there's so many things to do and there's so many, yeah. 311 00:28:56,294.027 --> 00:29:08,704.027 I'm sure your list is very long too, where you know, yes, it is long and there's only so much time, and then when you have kids like you and I do there's, we have to focus on other things. 312 00:29:08,754.027 --> 00:29:29,4.027 Do you have since you're a woman entrepreneur, do you have anything within your space that caters to female entrepreneurs, like maybe, I don't know a special event or something where it's just for women only? We have explored that a bit. 313 00:29:29,54.027 --> 00:29:38,544.027 We've been talking to actually some more women's focused groups and about hosting things that are events at our cafe. 314 00:29:38,884.027 --> 00:29:41,914.027 And so that is definitely something that we're working on and trying. 315 00:29:42,34.027 --> 00:29:46,144.027 It'll be a, I think, a focus that we'll lean into when we can. 316 00:29:47,104.027 --> 00:29:57,604.027 I'm always, yeah, I'm I'm always looking for places like that because often I need to meet with people for whatever projects that we may be engaging in. 317 00:29:58,84.027 --> 00:30:00,814.027 And it's always nice to find a space where. 318 00:30:01,174.027 --> 00:30:02,74.027 There are more women. 319 00:30:02,74.027 --> 00:30:04,474.027 Not to say I don't like men obvi, I'm married to a man. 320 00:30:04,524.027 --> 00:30:11,914.027 But but in terms of profe, professional engagement, it's somehow always refreshing to have women around you. 321 00:30:11,914.027 --> 00:30:22,474.027 So I was curious to know, since you are obviously a woman, if that's something that, you know, you also support in your business going forward. 322 00:30:22,474.027 --> 00:30:27,724.027 We, you talked about new projects that may be coming up and that congratulations on expanding. 323 00:30:28,124.027 --> 00:30:34,944.027 What do you see, what do you envision in the next few years for Lavender Coffee? I think. 324 00:30:35,634.027 --> 00:30:46,699.027 I think that our first thing is let's get these couple new locations up and run and and I think it's possible that we start exploring options to expand. 325 00:30:47,209.027 --> 00:30:50,569.027 New locations in select areas across the country. 326 00:30:51,119.027 --> 00:30:57,839.027 So that'll be a really fun process if, hopefully we can get to that point and and I'll really, enjoy that. 327 00:30:58,259.027 --> 00:31:04,659.027 And I think we have a lot of really exciting things happening and a lot of fun avenues that we can go down and. 328 00:31:05,134.027 --> 00:31:13,109.027 It's just deciding which is the right path or maybe not the right path, but which is the path we're going to take because you never know. 329 00:31:13,789.027 --> 00:31:16,9.027 Could, you never know what's gonna happen. 330 00:31:16,9.027 --> 00:31:19,829.027 And so I think it's all pretty exciting and we're at a really good spot right now. 331 00:31:20,39.027 --> 00:31:20,489.027 Okay. 332 00:31:21,449.027 --> 00:31:36,239.027 One thing I didn't ask you, and I think it might be useful for my listeners, was, your coffee is about balance, right? How do being an entrepreneur, being a wife, being a mom, how do you balance all of that in your own life? Oh, gosh. 333 00:31:36,289.027 --> 00:31:37,429.027 That one's not so easy. 334 00:31:40,294.027 --> 00:31:42,214.027 So you don't have a perfect answer for me. 335 00:31:42,274.027 --> 00:31:44,419.027 Oh, does anyone? No. 336 00:31:46,204.027 --> 00:31:47,14.027 If they're. 337 00:31:51,874.027 --> 00:32:00,184.027 I think, it's not easy to be a professional, a mother, a wife, a friend, a daughter, a sister. 338 00:32:00,184.027 --> 00:32:07,374.027 All the things that at least I am I really try very hard to prioritize. 339 00:32:07,609.027 --> 00:32:14,879.027 Health and wellness and, give myself the grace and the space when I really feel like I need it. 340 00:32:15,479.027 --> 00:32:21,269.027 I think the things that kinda help me the most is to try to be as organized as possible. 341 00:32:22,149.027 --> 00:32:26,409.027 I have lists and I have lists of lists and just going through and. 342 00:32:26,834.027 --> 00:32:33,404.027 Checking off those things, it, first of all, it feels really good to check something off and then you feel you're you've accomplished something. 343 00:32:33,504.027 --> 00:32:34,794.027 And then I guess. 344 00:32:35,889.027 --> 00:32:52,809.027 What I found recently is my best method is when I've gotten through whatever my list is for that day, and sometimes I don't get through the whole thing, but just closing my computer, putting my phone down somewhere that's not near me, and trying to focus on the next thing that's ahead. 345 00:32:52,909.027 --> 00:33:02,389.027 Whether it be, trying to have fun with my family or taking a minute for myself to go out and walk my dog or go to an exercise class or meet up with a friend. 346 00:33:02,959.027 --> 00:33:10,279.027 I think that just have, being organized I think really kinda helps you to free yourself a little bit. 347 00:33:10,309.027 --> 00:33:13,669.027 'cause it's okay, I've gotten this amount of things done. 348 00:33:13,729.027 --> 00:33:17,449.027 Maybe it's not everything, but I got a lot of it done for today. 349 00:33:17,449.027 --> 00:33:20,59.027 And then, and I'll, start it again tomorrow. 350 00:33:20,989.027 --> 00:33:33,739.027 So you allow yourself breaks and it sounds like moments where you can recharge separate, totally separate from your, your business and maybe even your husband and kids. 351 00:33:35,219.027 --> 00:33:39,814.027 I try to I know it's really hard and it doesn't always happen. 352 00:33:39,904.027 --> 00:33:40,414.027 Yes. 353 00:33:40,714.027 --> 00:33:45,844.027 I think having the mindset that I'm gonna try to make this happen as best as I can. 354 00:33:45,904.027 --> 00:33:46,264.027 Yeah. 355 00:33:47,194.027 --> 00:33:59,979.027 What else can you do? Really? I think the biggest, and I think most interesting thing that we're touching upon with this business is this idea of finding calm moments and connection. 356 00:34:00,929.027 --> 00:34:04,839.027 And I think that's just, that's something that people are really craving. 357 00:34:04,869.027 --> 00:34:13,539.027 And I don't know if it's because of post Covid OVID or if it's just the digital nature of our lives and how overscheduled and busy everybody is. 358 00:34:14,379.027 --> 00:34:21,789.027 But I think that is like something that is very deeply human and very much something that people are craving. 359 00:34:22,689.027 --> 00:34:23,769.027 I, I think you're right. 360 00:34:23,769.027 --> 00:34:26,49.027 And which makes me wonder, w. 361 00:34:26,389.027 --> 00:34:42,709.027 Is the age of what you're seeing coming in? Is there a certain group, like age group that you're seeing more in your coffee shop than, or is it widely distributed? Widely distributed? We have a really broad range I think of customers we have. 362 00:34:42,809.027 --> 00:34:51,209.027 We have a lot of moms who come in and they'll come in with their, after their exercise group and come in with a friend, which is really nice. 363 00:34:51,759.027 --> 00:34:54,759.027 We have people who are coming in for business meetings. 364 00:34:55,219.027 --> 00:35:04,99.027 We have, younger people who are coming in because we do have a really pretty shop, and they'll come in and they're, influencers and creating content. 365 00:35:04,759.027 --> 00:35:05,29.027 Right. 366 00:35:08,209.027 --> 00:35:11,29.027 So it's, and we have older people come in too. 367 00:35:11,29.027 --> 00:35:13,609.027 It's pretty much across the board though. 368 00:35:13,659.027 --> 00:35:18,69.027 I just I've gathered this feeling that people just want connection. 369 00:35:18,579.027 --> 00:35:18,999.027 Yeah. 370 00:35:19,509.027 --> 00:35:20,109.027 Yeah. 371 00:35:20,439.027 --> 00:35:22,569.027 I do think it is a function of Covid. 372 00:35:22,879.027 --> 00:35:28,929.027 And the reason why I asked you about age is because I, I do have, patients. 373 00:35:28,959.027 --> 00:35:36,499.027 And also in my life older people and a lot of them feel very lonely very lonely. 374 00:35:36,859.027 --> 00:35:42,859.027 So it was just, I was just curious to see if you had more of a older population that was coming in. 375 00:35:43,609.027 --> 00:35:45,229.027 We, I, it varies. 376 00:35:45,319.027 --> 00:35:55,219.027 We definitely have, I think an older gen population that likes to come in and they meet for with a friend and they have a coffee and a nice conversation and that's really great. 377 00:35:55,399.027 --> 00:35:57,69.027 So we, it's across the board. 378 00:35:57,369.027 --> 00:35:57,849.027 Yeah. 379 00:35:58,119.027 --> 00:35:58,509.027 Yeah. 380 00:35:58,959.027 --> 00:35:59,439.027 I don't know. 381 00:35:59,439.027 --> 00:36:04,989.027 Our society is interesting, right? Where it's leading to, and I. 382 00:36:05,254.027 --> 00:36:11,974.027 From what I understand, like they're saying that AI may replace real relationships. 383 00:36:12,304.027 --> 00:36:24,344.027 I don't think that's troublesome and worrisome more, and that's why I guess I, I really think that this idea of connection and creating spaces. 384 00:36:25,4.027 --> 00:36:31,669.027 Where, you can connect because AI is gonna be taking over so much of our lives. 385 00:36:31,784.027 --> 00:36:41,534.027 I think that's gonna be, and human experiences, like where can we continue to find human experiences? I think that's gonna be a really important idea moving into the future. 386 00:36:41,859.027 --> 00:36:55,299.027 We are human beings, right? So the, these experiences that we're losing at first w with all the technology and stuff, and now ai it's worrisome because I, I think that. 387 00:36:55,874.027 --> 00:37:04,454.027 That connection on a clinical level, I'm speaking clinically now it's, I think it'll lead to more depression and all sorts of stuff. 388 00:37:04,454.027 --> 00:37:08,984.027 So I think spaces like yours would definitely be welcome in New Jersey. 389 00:37:09,14.027 --> 00:37:10,869.027 Hint, hint, yes. 390 00:37:10,869.027 --> 00:37:10,931.027 We love it. 391 00:37:13,274.027 --> 00:37:16,704.027 I not necessarily where I live, but where I work. 392 00:37:16,984.027 --> 00:37:21,664.027 They're always welcoming boutique coffee shops, and they're very popular. 393 00:37:21,714.027 --> 00:37:27,114.027 But that's I think, hopefully we're hitting on something that is is an important idea. 394 00:37:27,654.027 --> 00:37:28,14.027 Yeah. 395 00:37:28,474.027 --> 00:37:29,854.027 We move into the future. 396 00:37:30,154.027 --> 00:37:30,604.027 Yeah. 397 00:37:32,899.027 --> 00:37:42,899.027 Before we end, why lavender?
