This week, Nick and I accepted the Supplier of the Year award for the South region of Whole Foods. It got me feeling all sorts of ways.
The awards ceremony was a surreal experience. I couldn't help but think that most of the folks in the ballroom, who like us were patiently waiting to see what award they had won, had a much different journey than we did.
I pictured large budgets, seasoned executives and significant resources.
At the very least, I thought, they must have had a plan.
For us, landing on the shelves of Whole Foods was a happy accident. I didn't know it at the time, but one of our customers that first year ended up being a buyer at the Ponce Whole Foods store.
We had a feeling that we were building something pretty special by this point in time, but we were barely keeping our head above water.
(I shared a lot more words about this in a blog post, which you can read here.)
Together, we are still figuring this thing out, but I wanted to thank all of the customers who have enjoyed a pop, all of the team members that have helped make and sell these pops, and all the brands that have joined us at P10 Foods.
In just over a month, we''ll celebrate King of Pops'' 10th birthday (!), and I'm so proud of what we have built together.
We wouldn't have gotten this award without you.

p.s. I''ll be sharing photos and embarrassing stories from the last 10 years on Instagram (follow along please ??) soon as we approach our big b-day.
Also, although it''s chilly out today - the Spring is quickly approaching.
