Entrepreneurship is dirty and street smart at the very beginning. Starting is VERY hard. Starting requires melting down things that exist (chocolate pun intented) and then blending and branding your new thing.

Turns out the story of Mast Brothers chocolate is the story of The Emperor’s New Clothes. Err, beards. qz.com/571151/the-mas…

By new clothes, Maya is being obtuse about how Starbucks started: They sold Peets Coffee & Tea beans. Yes, Starbucks brewed Peets coffee and sold it under a new logo. Now, Starbucks is a bean to cup retailer. But when Starbucks was starting, they had to brew beans o.p.r (other people roasted). Yup I just made up that acronym. But the story is true…
