Cari Carmean is the reason why this website is still here today. While she prefers to be behind the scenes, since coming on board to help John run the site in 2017, she’s been paramount in its success. From helping with finances to ad sales, visual branding, and merch designs, Cari’s hard work might go unnoticed to the average reader, but for those of us grinding over here, she’s the website’s patron saint.

After we launched our Radavist Bivo bottles in the Summer Merch drop, the stainless water bottle company asked Cari to write about the lessons we’ve learned over the past three years. The Radavist was sold, and then we fought tooth and nail to get it back. While the ordeal took years off our lives, we learned a lot in the process.

It’s not often that Cari has the mic, so roll on over to the Bivo Blog to read what she has to say about it all.
