We're excited to share with you a little-known secret that lies at the heart of our success as a dynamic duo in the world of business. While Chisa shines brightly as the primary Chocolate Face of our company, captivating audiences with her creativity and passion, there's another integral force working tirelessly behind the scenes—Montro aka Mr. Brown, the unsung hero of our operation.

Montro may not always take center stage, but his contributions are nothing short of indispensable. As the mastermind behind our research efforts, focused financial management, and administration wizardry, Montro's expertise and dedication form the bedrock upon which our business thrives.

But what truly sets us apart as couplepreneurs is the seamless synergy between Chisa's visionary leadership and Montro's meticulous execution. While Chisa excels at task-oriented timeline management and harnessing the power of time-saving tools to drive efficiency, Montro brings a strategic approach to every decision, ensuring that our endeavors are grounded in sound financial principles and executed with precision.

Together, we embody the perfect blend of creativity and strategy, innovation and pragmatism, passion and discipline. Our complementary skill sets and shared commitment to excellence enable us to overcome challenges, seize opportunities, and achieve remarkable success in every endeavor we undertake.

So, the next time you see Chisa talking and giving all the high levels of extra-ness you need, or hear about our latest triumph, remember that behind every shining moment lies the steady hand of Montro, orchestrating the behind-the-scenes magic that propels us forward.

On Valentine's Day we celebrate growth as people, partners, and business owners. This year is 15 years of marriage and 3 years of business as Give It To The People. Here's to the secret sauce of our success as a couple in business—may it inspire and empower you on your own entrepreneurial journey.
