Official established Launch day of first apply coffee that is today.

If you're watching this assumes that goes life.

We're gonna talk a lot more about this coffee hand about actually launching and everything that went into launching this coffee company.

But let's just say it's been about a year in the making, and I'm so happy we're finally launching towards the intestine.

18 I thought popped into them back my head, just like, Have you really cool to start a coffee company?

Have been trying all these different coffees My wife and I have been trying to find, like, a really, really good coffee.

We want something consistent that we could drink that we really liked.

So in 2019 when I solidified the idea to go ahead and start the coffee company, I went around from roaster to roaster to roaster to roaster e mailing people important in Oregon getting caught from them, e mailing people in Austin, Texas, getting coffee from them anywhere that you can think of that roast coffee.

I tried it most of it wasn't really all that great.

Let's hold that thought as we go back in time to experience where this journey I'll begin with receiving and sampling a patch up.

Coffee from the first row shy ever contact.

All right, so it is currently one day, February 18th 5 39 PM Just got home from work.

I got a package in the mail and this is the coffee.

I don't know what I'm going to be releasing this video.

That's why I said the date the time, because I don't plan to announce that starting the coffee company just yet.

Now, in the middle of February because we probably won't launch and tell Mayor I don't weigh.

Have a light roast here from the roaster.

We have a medium roast here, and then we have a medium dark roast here exclusively for forced night.

Wasn't that nice of print that out to get my predictions?

I think that medium coffee, the medium dark roast, I mean, is going to be my favorite.

But the medium roast may creep up on it, And unless this light roast is amazing Like light roast normally isn't my thing.

I like it a little bit on the darker side.

That's why I think medium dark is gonna be my favorite but light roast Excited to try that as well.

So this is a first step documenting the journey of starting my very first product based business.

And that, my friends, is a look of disappointment.

The light roast was bad, the medium roast is bad and the medium dark roast was bad.

And as we continue to try more roasters, we kept getting the same result.

I thought, Maybe now is not the right time.

But once I finally got my act together, I was like, I just look it look towards local roasters.

So I started looking at local roasters here and and in the state of Virginia.

We found a row, sir, to roast our coffee hour blend here that you have in front of us, which is the only blend that first black coffee cells right now.

And it all started off from figuring out a name to getting a logo design for that name from bouncing around from names and name, actually getting a logo design for a particular name.

That that was gonna work out but ended up not.

I went ahead and actually designed this logo myself.

And the reason being is just because I figured that there were many designers and after getting that other look designed, they didn't really capture exactly how I wanted it to be.

They didn't capture what I was describing.

It was just like, Okay, logo, not toe bash.

A local designer, Maybe I was bad at communicating, but I just needed perfection there because the name first supply, it means a great deal.

You can read a little bit more about it on the website, but basically first supply dates back all the way to 16 07 to my ancestry.

His name is Thomas Savage, who's 13 year old hopped on the John and Frances ship, which was the first supply ship to come over to America for Jamestown, For the columnist for the Settlers.

Like I said, there's more information on Thomas Savage of his story having Mento live with Native Americans.

Let's just say his ability to communicate between the Native Americans and the English settlers that was key to survival of the settlement.

And I don't know if I have expressed this a lot of the channel, but something like Do really like is history, especially my own history, my local history and considering that's right there in Jamestown, Virginia, while I'm here, Virginia Beach, Virginia.

It just really meant a great deal to me, So I'm going to make sure everything everything was in my hands.

I needed it done right, so I designed the logo.

Let's dive into the whole design of the website because that was a doozy.

E did a lot of research trying to find a template that I figured was appropriate.

I look for shot fight templates for all these particular.

It's on theme for anything that I could find.

That was Temple that was already done, that maybe I could make a few tweaks in the code.

But everything was already there and laid out.

I couldn't like I said, This means a great deal to me.

I wasn't gonna just settle for mediocrity when it comes to this.

So I just had to do a little bit of research on how I should go about designing my own website.

I think about just open up via Skoda, going full custom.

But I knew what I want to do was imported into Shopify and I didn't really care toe dive into liquid and all that entails look.

It just seemed a little bit daunting and I didn't want to focus.

While I was very excited for designing a website and doing all of that, I wanted to make sure that it was a set up a website for the business.

More than just a project of building a website like I code for fun on my own projects.

This wasn't one of those that I just want to code for fun.

This was one that needed to be done for this hope that makes it so.

What I did was I think I contacted y'all.

I think I was talking to be all about, you know, kind of the best back in me.

I was considering who Commerz shop a file of that for the business logic side of things.

So I didn't have to custom code all that.

And then someone said something about web flow.
