It’s fairly easy to miss a bus. It’s tough to miss an Uber. When you have an appointment, and a reputation on the line, you tend to show up. Apps, google calendar, notebooks can take you so far. And for some people, this is enough. If it’s not, put some repetitional skin in the game...

I saw an interesting sign – somehow, DK won an award for “Best Coffee in 2018” in the Golden Bean Awards… I had to consider it, because I was certain that some of the small, sustainably sourced, single-origin coffee shops would certainly...
