One (1) Did you know? “Coffee is the second most widely traded substance in the world - the first is oil.

Four (4) I now have a crush on Jack Dorsey thanks to Vanity Fair’s April Issue.
"His optimism flows mostly from a St. Louis-bred spirit about our common life, democracy, and human potential. He claims his inventions all aim at the same goal: a society that works more efficiently and humanely.
In 2009 he co-founded Square, where he is now C.E.O. Square is a service that allows any individual or small business to easily accept payment by credit card... Just as Twitter made anyone a broadcaster or pundit or diarist, Square can make anyone a merchant."
On Jack Dorsey’s arm tattoo… “People who know what an integral is would generally not have tattoos. It sums up what makes Jack an interesting entrepreneur—his ability to blend ideas.”
