CAFE SESSION WITH STEVE: DECEMBER 2024

Hello, coffee friends, and welcome to our December Café Session! Can you believe we’ve made it to the final stretch of the year? December always feels like a strange mix of chaos and calm. Everyone’s rushing to wrap up projects, but let’s be honest—most emails at this point end with, “Let’s circle back next year,” because nobody’s really working. It’s that awkward limbo where we’re pretending to be productive while secretly just thinking about holiday plans and cookies.

CAFE SESSION WITH STEVE: SEPTEMBER 2024

Welcome to our September Café Session! As we bid farewell to September, it's supposed to be cooling down, but Denver seems to have completely missed the fall memo—90 degrees as we head into October is just wild! The one upside? Maybe, just maybe, we’ll get a warm Halloween for once. Growing up there was nothing worse than having to cover up a cool costume with a winter coat (still a childhood trauma for many of us).

This month, we’re diving into the cozy world of campfire coffee and...

CAFE SESSION WITH STEVE: AUGUST 2024

Summer is nearly behind us, even if the temperatures disagree, and that can only mean one thing...football is back! In Colorado, excitement is brewing for the Broncos and their rookie QB Bo Nix, while the collegiate world is abuzz with Deion Sanders and his Buffs, despite last year’s four-win season. But if football isn't your thing, September also marks the return to school for the kids and the end of vacation season. At Enterprise Coworking, we're seeing members return to the office as their kids head back to class, and our student members are hitting the books here in our space.

Greetings, coffee enthusiasts, and welcome to our July Café Session! July is always a standout month, especially for me since it’s my birthday month—yes, I’m a proud July baby! This year, I celebrated with a fantastic park day and, of course, some tequila! I love any reason to celebrate, and I hope you found your own ways to enjoy this month too. That said, as we bid farewell to July and prepare to welcome August, the summer heat remains relentless, especially since we’ve had far less rain than last year.

CAFE SESSION WITH STEVE: MAY 2024

Welcome to our May Café Session! The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and the temperature is finally climbing—it's officially warm weather season! Park days and outdoor adventures beckon, inviting us to soak up the splendor of nature. But before we head out, let's take a moment to reflect on Denver’s beloved sports teams. Sadly, both the Nuggets and the Avs have bowed out of the playoffs, leaving us without a championship run to rally behind. I'd say at least the Rockies are still in it, but let's be real—they're giving new meaning to the term "it’s a rebuilding year." That said, there's still plenty of joy to be found in a day at Coors Field with a cold beer in hand—because even though the Rockies are undeniably terrible, they at least offer us a great excuse to get outside and enjoy a cold one with friends!
