Interesting how Disney optimizes visitor flow. They don’t have mirrors in their bathrooms. Feels weird. Not looking at themselves in mirrors keeps people moving. It’s also one less thing to clean. Smart!

We have a unique mission, why it actually makes sense: https://t.co/nt9G0Dpqla
Simple Modern's mission is a paradox. Our goal isn’t virtue signaling, getting back 10x or going bankrupt. We believe it's more enjoyable to give than receive. As a for-profit company our mission statement is, "We exist to give Generously". Sure Jesus taught this but

How we've intentionally become known in our home market: https://t.co/N06OqeJTc1
We love Oklahoma. But Oklahomans had no idea we are local. We decided to change that. Simple Modern became a national drinkware brand by selling tens of millions of cups in Amazon and Target. We're the now official drinkware of @okcthunder, @OU_Athletics & @OSUAthletics.

Our biggest mistakes: https://t.co/KUqGLNZdEs

What no one told me about raising boys: https://t.co/tE1OpAVVAn
