Year-End Giving Reminder:  The last few weeks of the year are when most charitable giving happens — people feel more generous, tax benefits kick in for those who itemize, and many folks use year-end bonuses or appreciated stock to support causes they believe in. It’s the perfect moment to make a meaningful impact, especially with an organization that stretches every donor dollar farther than you ever could on your own.   Why United Way Might Be One of the Smartest Ways to Give Back To Business Monday You know how I like to start a Monday: a little caffeine, a little...

Every once in a while, the universe taps you on the shoulder and says, “Here ya go … this one’s one of yours.” That’s exactly what happened when I discovered Pete Bombaci, Founder & CEO of GenWell, Canada’s Human Connection Movement — and the man behind Talk To A Stranger Week, happening November 24–30 in Canada. As many of you know, I’m the author of How To Talk To Strangers: Advice From a Professional Stranger Talker, so when I found out about Pete’s work, I thought, “Yup. This is my kinda guy. He won't be a stranger for long! "...

Are you overwhelmed, overextended, and still thinking “Eh, I’ll just do it myself—it’s faster”? Yes? Well the right answer should be NO.  That’s entrepreneur delusion talking. I know I am one and I'm not the best dekgator and yes I too try and do far too many things myself. On The Debbie Nigro Show, I linked up with the fabulous Jenna Eichholtz, partner at VA Growth Solutions, who popped in from Pennsylvania to drop some serious wisdom about delegating like a boss—without actually becoming a bossy boss. Here’s the big takeaway: You don’t need a full team… you...

I always try and bring the sunshine and some good energy and often I like to bring some good bagels. Today if you use your 'smellavision' link ( only kidding there is none - yet lol ) it smells like fresh bagels! I want you to meet Beth George, former attorney turned bagel whisperer and owner of Bagel-ish in Beacon, NY, and wow… this woman is rising dough and raising entrepreneurs.

 On this week’s Keeping the “Live” in Alive segment of The Debbie Nigro Show, I was joined by my longtime gal pal (though we’ve never actually met in person!) Linda Arroz, who’s on an inspiring new mission in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Linda is helping raise funds for a short social impact film called Awakening Georgie — a powerful narrative about the hidden struggles of traumatic brain injury (TBI) survivors and the miracles that can come from compassion. “Thirty percent of injury-related deaths in the U.S. are caused by a traumatic brain injury. That’s a lot. We need to...

On The Debbie Nigro Show, I like to dig into stories that make you go, “Wait, what?!” This week’s head-turner: “Ozempic Teeth.” Yep, that’s the headline making waves, and I knew I had to call in my go-to expert, Dr. John Castanaro of Castanaro Dental in Yonkers, NY, to help get to ‘the tooth of the matter’. What Are “Ozempic Teeth”? GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy have taken the world by storm for their weight-loss benefits. But dentists are warning about side effects showing up in the mouth. According to Dr. Castanaro: “It’s not the drug...

On The Debbie Nigro Show, I had the pleasure of spotlighting Simon Cascante, founder of Montaukila Tequila. Boy oh boy his story sure is a shining example of one of my favorite sayings  - “Risk It! or Regret It!" Simon skipped college, started bussing tables at the Lobster Roll in East Hampton, and took the long road to launching his own spirit’s brand. No investors. No celebrity endorsements. Just grit, Google, and a dream. That persistence led him to cold-call nearly a dozen distilleries in Mexico until one finally said yes—thanks to a VP who had once vacationed in...

Coffee entrepreneur Travis 'The Coffee Man’ Estes, wants his fellow coffee loving entrepreneurs to have their own digital barista in their home.

Travis, is the Founder of REVIVE Coffee. He’s an expert in beans, machines and coffee recipes. He and his team designed and manufactured the 'Dolce Vita’ digital barista coffee machine and created an exclusive coffee subscription club as an answer to his commercial coffee company going silent for awhile during the pandemic.

Travis started a company in 2014 called Busy Bean which manufactures and supplies specialty coffee and coffee machines to the food industry. He’s one of the largest wholesalers and providers of specialty coffee equipment to large hotels and restaurants. In 2020 he was at the NYC food show when the pandemic hit. Soon after all the food service locations closed. Things were VERY quiet he said, for about 6 weeks. But then, out of nowhere his phone started ringing off the hook with customers and friends of customers working from home, asking him how to get his coffee.

Travis knew he had to create a professional grade digital coffee system for the home, which he said was not easy to do. The home version had to be just as good but under 18 inches high, easy to use, and self cleaning. Within 9 months he and his team had it figured out.

“What’s beautiful about this machine says Travis, is it’s really a digital barista that sits in your house. Push a button it grinds the beans, then presses the beans, then shoots high pressure water through it, and boom perfect cup of coffee every time!"

So does his ‘Dolce Vita’ coffee machine make all those coffee options someone would be able to pick out on the coffee menu boards say at a Starbucks?

The ‘Dolce Vita’ is pre-programed with 20 different coffee drinks but Travis wants you to learn how to program even more and he’ll teach you how once you join his exclusive entrepreneurs coffee club.

"It’s a true espresso machine", he said. "Makes a one shot espresso, or a double, or plain black coffee, or a latte, or a cappuccino - you name it!  You can even program seasonal favorites like pumpkin spice latte etc."

The best part about his machine says Travis, is the consistency of quality. Every day he says will be like waking up in the Four Seasons.

Travis is obviously passionate about coffee and passionate that entrepreneurs now working from home, never have to leave their house to have a total sensory coffee experience. Plus he’s saving die-hard coffee lovers who drive to a store to order their favorite latte ‘schmatte’ or whatever, about 70% off a cup of coffee. ( Have you ever done the math on how much you spend buying cups of coffee every year?)

By the way, coffee is 8X more complex than wine, says Travis. Which is why in addition to manufacturing their own equipment and roasting their own beans (yes they do) Travis and REVIVE brought in a 5 star Executive Chef to come up with new coffee flavor combinations. Believe it or not, the aroma of coffee is a lot more sensory than just the caffeine boost.   

It’s a good next act for Travis “The Coffee Man” Estes whose earliest memory as a child was waking up to the smell of coffee. His parents would set up their coffee maker the night before, and that smell he woke up to every day was anchored in his brain. When he had a chance to get into the coffee business he jumped at it, and he’s been making waves in the business ever since.

REVIVE’s Exclusive Coffee Club For Entrepreneurs includes the purchase of the ‘Dolce Vita’ digital barista machine, a $99 monthly coffee subscription, and a lifetime guarantee. Membership is currently limited to 50 new members a month because the machines are meticulously manufactured in-house at their main location in Charleston, SC. where Travis lives.

Membership is also limited because Travis personally devotes a good amount of time educating his customer members about how to get the best results from his products.

Travis did mention though living in SC now, he’s a NY guy by way of  Brooklyn and Long Island. Funny how many cool entrepreneurs are by way of Brooklyn and Long Island. Maybe it’s in the water.

Travis and I had a good time talking coffee innovation in our podcast conversation here. Enjoy. And find out more about  REVIVE’s Exclusive Coffee Club For Entrepreneurs at BizCoffeeClub.com
