In a pivot from our usual venue at Rebellion, I was honored to have a wonderful conversation with Dr. Brian D. Agnew at Brivado Cigars, his beautiful cigar lounge in Orange, NJ. During our conversation, Brian and I discussed his growth strategies for his boutique cigar line, as well as his cigar lounge. Marvin Pettus and Paul Murdock, Brian's long time friends and business associates, were also key contributors to the conversation. While smoking the Brivado double wrapped Barber Pole, we delved into how data analytics inform Brian's real time business decisions and how Brivado's members take advantage of everything that Brivado has to offer, especially an inviting space to build relationships, network and have a great time!
