Jacob Honescko of Filtered Coffee in McKinney, TX joined us to talk through what it’s like to take over a second wave cafe and transition it into a third wave shop. Jacob is a seriously thoughtful operator who honored the previous owner, his team, and his guests while leading major upgrades – from the equipment and menu to hospitality and culture. We chat about how he balanced change and stability, built trust with the team he inherited, created buy-in for third wave coffee with long-time guests, and what he’s learned along the way. Whether you’re dreaming of transforming your cafe or just want to hear a great story of humble leadership, this one is for you.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
