     For my social listening post, I have decided to analyze what people are saying about Dutch Bros. because they came out with a new drink at the beginning of the month called the "Pumpkin Pie Soft Top".

My First Blog Post

 Hey all, my name is Garrett, and I am interested in music and in refurbishing antique things. I go down to my grandma's house often and work on sanding and staining old furniture, and I am currently refinishing a Pepsi machine from the late 60's. As far as my interest for music goes, I have been learning the keyboard over the last few months and I have various records hanging on my walls. Those are the things that I am most passionate about but I also am passionate about basketball, I play most days and keep up with the NBA during the season. I am a business major and I enrolled in this course because I want to one day own a business or multiple businesses. I am most interested in learning about strategies for marketing yourself or your business because I believe it pertains most to my career goals.
