I'm the CEO of Blue Bottle Coffee. I'm obsessed with Facebook Marketplace and do 100 pushups in my PJs every morning.
Karl Strovink, the CEO of Blue Bottle Coffee, lives between Boston and San Francisco. He works from home with his dog and loves Facebook Marketplace.
Karl Strovink, the 52-year-old CEO of Blue Bottle Coffee, begins his day at 6 a.m., waking up with a need to jot down any ideas that pop into his head. He starts by doing 100 push-ups in his pajamas, followed by catching up on the news or listening to American music depending on his location. After making himself a latte, Karl travels frequently, spending time in Asia, Europe, the East Coast, the West Coast, and Chicago, all of which are beautiful and culturally interesting places for him.
For breakfast, he usually eats Greek yogurt with berries and nut-based granola, sticking with what makes him feel good. He avoids getting to the point of being hangry, having lunch around 1 p.m. Karl is a landscape architect and enjoys gardening and interior design, spending his evenings outside, planning weekend projects, or even planning vacations.
One of his favorite platforms for finding unique items is Facebook Marketplace, where he once became obsessed with buying a cactus from an older woman.
