Awesome 3 days in PA With The PepperJam Execs
If you listen to Net Income then you know who Kris Jones is. Last week Kris invited my developer Dillsmack, and myself to thier headquarters in Wilkes-Barre PA.
Kris is the CEO of Pepperjamsearch and they were having a press conference on Thursday. Then on Friday we were going to head to Philly until Saturday night then head back to Wilkes-Barre to fly out.
I got in really late on Weds night and this gorgeous blonde with a Shoemoney shirt ran up to me and hugged me I was like “HEY WAZZZZZUP� then I saw Kris who introduced me to his girlfriend Robyn. They took me back to the hotel where I was staying (The Woodlands) and we hit the bar there and had a few cocktails until we heard the “last call�… I was feeling pretty bad for Kris and Robin because they were doing this press conference the next day.
So Thursday morning Mike Jones (General Legal Council and COO of Pepperjam) picked me up and we headed to the Pepperplex. I was really impressed with the place. You would think they were running a modeling agency with all the attractive young ladies around the office.
The press conference was so cool. Pepperjam was named the 293rd fastest growing company in the country by Inc Magazine. Kris talked about how he was not only proud of his company but also the people and the town that helped him build his empire. Kris was followed by the mayor and congressman who had extremely nice things to say about Kris and Pepperjam.
After the Press Conf we talked business and then the office went out to celebrate! I got to say I like working for myself but I really really miss the camaraderie and like being a part of a team… It was so much fun.
On Friday morning we hung out at Pepperjam then Kris, Mike, Dillsmack, and I headed to Philadelphia. We went to a nice dinner and I got to see what a 500$ steak looks like.
On Saturday morning we did the whirlwind tour of Philly hitting Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, I ran the rocky steps (click here to see the video) and finally had a cheese steak at Pat’s (across from Gino’s). They were awesome.
I had a great couple days and thanks to Mike and Kris for hosting me and Dave (Dillsmack).

Sounds like fun! I am not very fimilar with pepperjam, but it sounds like you had a great few days. Philly is nice because it’s a big city, but at the same time a “small” city. Everything is close by… Was that steak seriously $500?

Sounds like you had fun… and as I finished reading this the only thing that stuck in my mind was the picture of that large steak! Yummmmy!

So what does a $500 steak look like?
[Reply]
That steak cost $500? I’d have framed it, not eaten it! The waiter must know that ringtones are doing well.

$500 stake? You have to be kidding…
[Reply]
You seriously ate a $500 steak ? I wonder what the hell they fed that cow.

ĂŚ’ll take the $5 cheesesteak over the $500 steak any day. Heck, I’d even take a $1 dirty water dog

Hey hon-
The English teacher in me says:
their= ownership (their company)
there= a place (look over there)
they’re= contraction for “they are”
I see you like to be corrected and others seem to relish doing it- but they don’t love you like I do!

$500 for a steak and all it comes with is a piece or parsley??? I’d demand a refund!
[Reply]
The philly cheese steak looked better than the steak, which one tasted better?
Oh, and where’s the music to rocky while you were running?
[Reply]
the $500 steak was not intended… they just said it was 20$ a ounce so I did not think much of it… especially that is was 25 ounces! owe!

Reminds of that Chappelle episode where he sprinkles diamonds on his food cause its “balling”
[Reply]
It was Kobe beef. Its not so much what they feed them, as the genetics. Do a Google search on Wagyu beef.

I didn’t even notice the $500 steak. I was checking out the blonde….and obviously Shoemoney was also. (many pics of her).
[Reply]
I find it more than a little creepy that you were checking out Shoemoney.
[Reply]
Who isn’t checking out Shoemoney? I mean, seriously….
