R&D trip to Colorado 🍹

Good drinks, great people, and the kind of hospitality that reminds you why this industry is so fun.
Denver showed out — from high-end craftsmanship to gritty, creative, down-and-dirty brilliance.
Research is way better with friends and family.

3 years in and we thought we knew everything about each other.
Then my wrangler and I came up with a game for the road trip… and asked these questions. 👇
• What’s something you’ve learned about yourself since we started dating?
• Is there a part of your past that still affects how you show up in our relationship?
• What’s a dream you’ve had for a long time but haven’t shared with me yet?
• What makes you feel most confident lately?
• When do you feel the most seen and understood by me?
We called it Are You Trippin?! — and yeah, it kinda got deep.
Want the full list of questions?
Drop a “GIMME THE GAME” in the comments and we’ll send it your way.

What. A. Night.
Club Clearview’s 40th Anniversary was everything we hoped for—and then some.
The hugs. The dancing. The stories. The energy.
Thank you to everyone who showed up, showed out, and helped bring the legacy back to life.
