Positive Vibes Only

Hi friends,

I’m sick and pushing through. #PositiveVibesOnly. Let’s get right to it. So many awesome people this week. We kicked it off with Matthew Chantry. We had one of the more refreshing marketing conversations in a long time. Also his outwardly love for his family is awesome. Meet him.

Next up. The entire team over at FRESH Boutique. Emily, Ally, Molly and Holly are all awesome. They’re doing their #ShopLocal event today (Saturday). Check out their site, Facebook or Twitter to learn more.  Ask them about the Win The Window contest.

Have you met Matt Yarmey of Pure Intentions Coffee? You absolutely should. His passion for Charlotte and using PI Coffee to educate and bring people together is awesome. Meet him. Also, head on down to the Mayobird this weekend. Them and Matt are kicking off their new partnership with all sorts of awesome festivities.

Our feature Charlotte non-profit of the week is Lori Krzeszewski of Behailu Academy. She’s awesome and what they are doing here in Charlotte is essential. Programs like this ensure children are receiving the education they need and deserve. Period. Check them out.

Phew. A lot of awesome people. Click their names or pictures at the bottom of the email to meet them.
