Brian Bailey, MBA, JD shared thisThe hits keep coming! Proud to be part of this delicious rocket ship. 🍕🚀 #difara #bossbites #bestpizzaBrian Bailey, MBA, JD shared thisPeople Magazine just named Di Fara Vodka Sauce Pizza the Best Pizza of the Year. Out of hundreds of products tested by the People Food Awards 2026 editorial team, ours received perfect scores across the board, praised for the "amazing" sauce, "crispy thin" crust, and "dreamy" cheese. However.. This quote that hit different: "This is the best frozen pizza I have ever eaten." We don't want to be the best "frozen" pizza. We want to be the best pizza, period. Full stop. No qualifiers. No category asterisk. I know that's a big statement, and I know we aren't there yet, but we didn't come this far just to come this far. We are just getting started!

Brian Bailey, MBA, JD shared thisAn exciting milestone for the Di Fara and BOSSBITES INC. team - awesome to see Di Fara featured on the Today Show following its recognition as the Allrecipes.com 2026 Golden Cart Award winner for Best New Frozen Pizza. Proud to be part of the team helping bring such an iconic brand to more consumers nationwide while preserving the quality that built its reputation. 💪🍕🚀Brian Bailey, MBA, JD shared thisWhat an amazing day! 🍕🏆 Di Fara Vodka Sauce Pizza just won the Allrecipes 2026 Golden Cart Award for Best New Frozen Pizza — and we celebrated it live on the NBC Today Show. “For a frozen pizza, this is unbelievably good. First, the vodka sauce was outstanding. It was slightly sweet and slightly tangy at the same time. The second standout was the cheese — you can tell it’s top quality, as it has a slight buttery note, and the stretch was outstanding! Last, though, was the knockout crust. It was so good — so much structure and crunch, but also soft. We did not leave a scrap behind.” — LaDonna Langwell, Allstar Di Fara has been a Brooklyn legend since 1965. Bringing that same obsessive quality to your freezer aisle across the country.

Brian Bailey, MBA, JD posted thisI am thrilled to share that I've joined BOSSBITES INC. as VP of Operations! BossBites is bringing one of the most iconic pizza brands in the world - Di Fara - straight into people's freezers. If you know, you know. The mission of making that legendary taste accessible at home is something I'm genuinely proud to be a part of. The company is on a rocket ship, and I'm excited to be along for the ride. My focus will be to help build the operational infrastructure to match that momentum - the systems, processes, and frameworks that allow a high-growth business to scale without losing what makes it special. Its great to be working alongside extraordinary co-founders Chad L. and Bruno J D'Uva and the rest of the exceptional BossBites team.🚀🍕

Brian Bailey, MBA, JD shared thisRemote work certainly has its benefits but what gets accomplished in person cannot be beat. Over four days, five of us knocked out a month’s worth of remote group work. Needless to say, the plan is in motion… 2025 is going to be a strong year for Emulait! 🍼💪🚀

Cushman & Wakefield's Christine Wyckoff and Justin Halpern recently joined Caleb Parker on the Brave Ideas podcast to discuss how landlords are evaluating flex operators, the rise of management and revenue-sharing agreements, and what it takes to build confidence in an evolving flexible workspace market. 🎧 Listen here: https://cushwk.co/4w28A4g

Brian Bailey, MBA, JD liked thisBrian Bailey, MBA, JD liked thisIs there is an badge for 'most Chinese suppliers connected' on Linkedin? Whenever I post something related to manufacturing, ~5-10 new suppliers contact me. I’m starting to think I’ve connected with every single manufacturing supplier in China. And then, every day, I'm surprised that I haven't found them all yet. But what should I do with all these connections? I don't have enough projects to feed them all, and they're all hungry!

Brian Bailey, MBA, JD liked thisBrian Bailey, MBA, JD liked thisQuestion for my DTC/e-comm network: do you run TikTok Shop affiliate in-house or through an agency? We're at the point of deciding how to structure this and want to get it right before we scale spend behind it. In-house feels appealing for control: you know exactly who's repping the brand, you can move fast on approvals, and you keep the relationship with creators direct. But it's a real lift. Sourcing, vetting, negotiating rates, tracking performance, and staying on top of what's working on the platform week to week is basically a full time role. An agency brings existing creator networks and speed, plus they've likely already learned lessons we'd have to learn the hard way. The tradeoff is less visibility into creator quality, another layer between us and the relationships, and margin going to the agency instead of into the program itself. If you've run this either way, or switched from one model to the other, I'd love to hear what actually drove the decision and what you'd do differently now. #TikTokShop #TikTokAgency

Brian Bailey, MBA, JD liked thisBrian Bailey, MBA, JD liked thisBeing 258 lbs at 43 years old wasn’t fun…I was addicted to food. Junk foods mostly. I couldn’t get enough. That picture on the left dropped me to my knees. I cried, I was ashamed of myself for becoming unhealthy. Today, I’m down 81 lbs. confident, self-aware, and still emotional over the journey I will forever be on. I quit junk food, alcohol, and began eating primal. The way our ancestors ate. Month by month, my body changed. I stand at 177 lbs and even though I’m not where I want to be yet, I won’t give up. If you need help, I’m a DM away. #health #confidence #motivation #fitness #fit #change #nutrition #food #healthy #weightloss #journey

VERDANT Strategies
For cannabis operators in New Jersey, the first couple of years can feel like a blur of licensing, hiring, and getting product out the door. What we keep seeing over and over is that the real financial impact of early decisions doesn’t show up until later, when growth, scrutiny, or expansion starts to test the systems behind the business. Here's the thing: New Jersey’s tax and compliance landscape is layered in ways that aren’t always obvious at the start, and small gaps in accounting or documentation can quietly compound over time. In this piece, we walk through the patterns we see most often and where early clarity can make a meaningful difference in long-term stability. If you’re operating in NJ or planning to enter the market, this is a useful perspective to have in your toolkit. Click the link in the comments to read the full story!
