😄 Growth, expansion, and community impact—that’s what today was all about!

🚀 Today is a 🔥BIG🔥 day for BD Brands and PopUp Bagels!

🎉 They are officially expanding into the Orlando market, and the Winter Park location is NOW open!

🙌 This morning’s grand opening was a tremendous success, with hundreds & hundreds of people stopping by & lining up for hours to see what "Grip, Rip, and Dip" is all about.

🥯 It didn’t take long for guests to discover why PopUp Bagels has developed such a loyal following—they were ALL in & now a part of the VIRAL foodie craze! They say they will be back FOR SURE!

🍌 They featured a new schmear this morning - it was Banana Bread Chocolate Chip, and it was such a huge hit that it sold out! 😳🤭👍🏻

👏 Congratulations to everyone involved in bringing this exciting new location to the community!

😄 Such a pleasure working this wonderful team of dedicated business leaders!

🩺✨ He’s known as America’s Wellness Doctor—and he has the credentials to back it up! Having performed more than 10,000 spinal surgeries, this remarkable surgeon is helping lead the conversation around wellness, longevity, and living a healthier life.

🎙️🤝 It was a pleasure collaborating with Big Brand Ventures alongside Kevin Harrington ( the OG shark from Shark Tank) , Brandon T. Adams, and Brian Harrington as we sat in on a series of podcast interviews ahead of upcoming television appearances.

📺💡 Refining and perfecting messaging is one of the most important parts of sharing valuable information with audiences everywhere.

🌿❤️ Healthcare impacts all of us, and being part of a project that helps people better understand their health and the wellness topics they should pay attention to is incredibly rewarding.

🚀🌟 I love partnerships like this that help take great ideas, meaningful relationships, and innovative businesses to the next level while creating new opportunities for growth and impact.

So pleased to work with amazing members in the media.
Tampa Parenting Magazine does such a great job every single month to showcase amazing community members and things to know for families and events and highlighting individuals.

Dedicated publisher Laura Kadechka Byrne did a nice story on a Girl Scout Mother/Daughter duo! Leesa Polley & her daughter Shea.

Girl Scouts of West Central Florida are doing things community and it’s great showcase all of it.

I dropped my copies at the Girl Scout office for pick up by the GS family!

Super visit to RhS Tv to share the business model of PopUp Bagels Tampa/Westshore!
They are delicious. The staff is superior. And the connections this company is making in our community to give back is just top notch.

So happy to be working with them to share their message and watch their growing branch continued to soar.

Always a pleasure working with Dustin Portillo!
