This past weekend Drip Queen Coffee had the honor of vendoring at the PBR Space Cowboys event at Falcon Stadium, celebrating 250 years of America. All of America.
Between a 20-year military career and 15 years of my wife running toward emergencies as a paramedic, we have walked into a lot of rooms that were not necessarily designed with us in mind. You learn real quick how to read the room, be professional, and let your work do the talking.
And that is exactly what we did.
Fox Nation was in the building. Crypto was sponsoring. The Space Force brought the stars. And Drip Queen Coffee, a veteran family business from Colorado Springs, brought the flavor. We were thorough.
Living in the South of this country has a way of preparing you for certain kinds of energy. You know the one. So do the people reading this. We smiled. We served our amazing products. We represented. Because that is who we are and that is what we do.
Not every room deserves an explanation. But every room deserves our excellence. And they got it.
To the Black entrepreneurs, the veteran-owned businesses, the minority-owned brands thinking about putting yourself in uncomfortable spaces... go anyway. Let them be surprised. Let them be uncomfortable. That discomfort is called growth, and it ain't yours to carry.
DQC will always stand on the side of right. And in the face of whatever comes our way, we will always be the bigger person in the room. That has never failed us yet. ♛
