Hello Steemians!
I'm Redford Esguerra and you can call me "Photchie." I'm from Philippines and I'm working at Starbucks Coffee Philippines as a Shift Leader for 10 years now. Just like the person who introduces me here, @davinsh, I'm one of the old time partners at Starbucks Coffee Philippines.
Starbucks Coffee changed my life. This company is not just after for business ventures, not just with coffee but also for taking care of their partners, giving and providing all the resources, training and coaching needed to achieve their potentials. Before, I was only hooked with coffee. I'm having 5-6 cups of black coffee everyday and with Starbucks, coffee became my life. Spending 10 hours a day, 45 hours a week with this company is amazing. No regrets at all. I established myself well in this company and made a lot of friends from customers and partners. I can really say that I fell in love with coffee. For a pack of wholebean coffee, there's a lot of stories behind it before it came to our stores and my heart was personally touched by these stories. I'm 35 years old now and married a year ago to the most beautiful woman I've ever known. I'm also blessed with 2 cute boys. I am a living proof of "second glory." My first attempt to settle down was a failure and at Starbucks Coffee I found my FOREVER (my wife) and again, that's why this company is very meaningful to me. It really changed my life.
I'm not just a coffee lover, I'm also a music and a tattoo lover. Maybe these are the reasons why me and my mentor @davinsh have a good feeling to each other. We have things in common. Just like him I also used to be in a band during my college days (vocalist) covering songs from Payable on Death (P.O.D.), Mudvayne, Slipknot, Slapshock, Disturbed and Korn. I also love eating and sleeping and then when I tried playing online games like Clash of Clans, I almost forgot and skip meals and sleeping for a day. In Clash of Clans I have 10 active accounts so it means I am a one-man-clan. COC players know what I mean. This playing routine of mine has ended when it became an issue between me and my wife so goodbye online games...
With that, I was upset and got bored so I tried discovering new things during my free time then I was dragged in the direction of Cryptocurrencies. Had ups and downs with this crypto venture. Gained and losses profit from investing and trading. Being fooled and scammed several times as well. Still, I can smile... Just like the feeling after I slurp my favorite coffee... All of those scumbags will burn in hell eventually so it's okay.. I'm putting it all in the hands of our beloved GOD..
I was once inspired by Starbucks Coffee and with Steemit, I wanna inspire others as well by sharing my stories through my future blogs and posts aiming to enlighten and brighten up your day.
KUDOS to everyone!!!
