Today, we opened our first full Yardbird showroom experience inside of a @BestBuy store in Eden Prairie MN. We have more than 3,000 square feet for customers to experience the entire Yardbird assortment and work directly with a designer to create the perfect outdoor space. Beginning next week, we’ll expand our presence to additional Best Buy locations in Chicago and Denver with more to come this summer. Patio season has officially arrived!

If we raise $1B, we absolutely must splurge for the statue.

Great conversation with @iamshackelford and @garyvee at @CommerceRound to start out this week’s event. Gary’s got such a thoughtful, genuine way of delivering new perspective and changing how we think about/work through many of the challenges we experience as operators.

After attending my first Shopify Editions as a merchant, I am leaving with a few takeaways: 1) There’s no better forum to meet and talk with the people building on and within the platform. Meeting the people and partners bringing these tools to life was worth the price of admission alone. I would recommend any curious Shopify operators attend in the future. 2) There’s no better place to be building a business. I’ve been a Shopify customer for the last 12 years and the platform has never been in a better position than it is today for a merchant to grow and scale their e-commerce, retail or wholesale business. 3) If you can’t build it now, you probably will be able to soon. Between generative AI and the incredible partner ecosystem, I’m running into less obstacles than ever when building systems and tools for our brand. The possibilities of what you can do have never been greater. Thank you @Shopify for hosting this fantastic event! @harleyf @glencoates @tobi

Heading to Toronto this week for my first @Shopify Editions. Looking forward to meeting the greatest builders in commerce and seeing what all the fuss is about with this AI stuff. Would love to connect with other merchants and Shopify partners building retail-focused apps - hit me up!

It’s crazy how many iconic brands were born from coin flip stories like these. Sometimes, it’s better to be lucky than good!

Highly overlooked in the TV broadcast, but just wanted it on record that I managed to not spill my beer during this brawl. #BuiltDifferent

I’m between owls and carrier pigeons at this point, but it’s still early.

Balling my eyes out rn. A 17 year old kid just knocked on our front door in East Austin. He asked if he could pull weeds or do other yard work. I love this type of hustle just like the rest of you so of course I agreed. I stepped outside to chat with him. Life got crazy.

“I’m just so thankful he allowed me to walk on 5 years ago.” Steven and Tom Izzo share an emotional, special moment on Senior Night in East Lansing. It’s more than basketball. It’s family.
