Cool to see a few of our regulars using Coffee Man Blandtown as a space to co-work, connect with friends, and grow their own businesses in ATL :) We love small business, startups, and entrepreneurship so major shoutout to Kyle, Michael, and Jordann. Keep on crushing it friends!
Week 11 of the 2025 Selfie Challenge: Coffee, Founders, and Full Circle Moments ??? This week, I met Michael McGirt at Coffee Man in Atlanta. Michael is a fellow startup founder building Hddn Gems, and we immediately connected over the ups and downs of early-stage company building, assembling a team, tackling real problems, and waking up each day energized to keep going. Funny enough, while we were deep in conversation, I had a full-circle moment. An old friend of mine from college, Jordann Savage, walked into Coffee Man. I hadn’t seen her in forever, and it turns out she already knew Michael! They had previously met at the same café, really connected, and had become friends too. I left feeling energized and grateful for those chance encounters that remind you how small and meaningful the world can be. If you’re in Atlanta and ever want to grab a coffee and chat at Coffee Man, let me know. It’s one of my favorite spots with great coffee, great people, and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere.
