The Sweet Takes Story

Treats worth the trip. Takes worth a listen.

We all need a mid-day pick-me-up and an off-the-record kind of conversation. Welcome to Sweet Takes.

Sweet Treats. Sharp Takes.

Why We Started Sweet Takes

Honestly? It’s the best reason we could think of to visit Utah’s best sweet shops.

We believe business can be a whole lot more than transactions.

Business conversations have become predictable. Real talk happens offline now—if it happens at all. But so do coffee runs, and that’s usually where the good stuff comes in.

Sweet Takes brings that back.

What We’re Doing

We feature local businesses worth knowing about and record candid conversations from the car, with people doing real work in our community: business owners, marketing leaders, and, anyone with a perspective worth hearing.

We’re on a mission to prove something we genuinely believe: authentic, real-world connection builds better brands than any campaign ever could.

How to Get a Taste

There are several ways to get in on what we’re doing with Sweet Takes:

  • Join us on the show. We’d love to hear from you.
  • Ask us anything. We’re happy to dig in.
  • Build your own. We’ve got a whole playbook to share.

Nothing’s off the table: we’re making everything from Sweet Takes (from how we started to what we’ve learned along the way) freely available. Help yourself—no cost, no catch.
