Comfy Cup Chronicles

Comfy Cup rose to the top of the thousands of entries and is a Top 100 Finalist in the 2018 FedEx Small Business Grant Contest!

Local small Kansas City businesses came together Wednesday, March 28th for the annual KC Chamber Small Business Showcase inside of Union Station. Around 80 local companies took part in the event that drew a crowd of professionals, including Comfy Cup’s  Co-CEOs, Brandi and Kyler Russell, hoping to learn more about the participating companies.

It was a great experience to see so many awesome companies and people from the Kansas City area come together to celebrate small businesses.  We were particularly impressed with Pro Athlete Inc. and their awesome set-up...we felt like we were at the ballpark! 

The single most powerful tool for growth and networking our small company has experienced is participating in #1MCKC.

They gave us great suggestions as places to start networking and ways we can continue to grow Comfy Cup.  

Work Hard, Play Hard. Owning a business can impact your ability to take vacations, particularly in the early years, when the operation is small and many of the responsibilities are absorbed by the owners.  It is hard work.  But balance is important.  Time-off, while tricky to take, is a must.
