    That’s the motto of COO Dai Manuel of Fitness Town. Wait a minute, don’t run away! I know this is an artsy sort of blog and we’ll get to that! But, first…. I belong to a Thursday morning breakfast group called “Think Referrals” started by Rainer Schmoll who created this group with a focus on…

    I love going to cafés and sipping on a plain ‘ole black coffee, or a soy latte, or, my latest discovery, a soy misto (similar to a latte with the  strong Americano taste of coffee).
