So, this happened.

Innovation doesn’t always look like perfect plans, tidy timelines, polished posts. Most of the time, it looks like a Gremlin was let loose in your pile of handwritten chicken-scratch notes you can barely read, experiments that wobble (and sometimes fall down), and ideas...

Every “innovative” idea we’ve had started the same way: with people.

We didn’t wake up one day and decide, “Let’s be innovators.”

When we started Thoughts Brewing, we weren’t aiming for shiny trophies. Honestly, we were just trying to help solve problems for other business owners.

That’s right!  You heard it here first!  Our COO and co-founder, Danielle, was interviewed for and featured in Hubspot’s Founder Focused community. 

We love a good excuse to celebrate, and today we’ve got a great one—our CEO Damien has been named Herndon’s 2025 Local Business Person of the Year through Alignable! 

Normally, I would be writing a reading insight for my Book Brew series. However, at the beginning of this monthly series, Catchafire announced their Volunteer of the Month, and it just happens to be our very own CEO, Damien.
