Hi Vaulted Viewer,  

I hope this email finds you well! I just wanted to share with you my latest episode of Vaulted Views, featuring human connection expert and tech entrepreneur Josh Hotsenpiller. Business owners and professionals will benefit from the lessons Josh has learned throughout his career, including his experience building community in both his church and business ventures. Josh started out as the son of a preacher and went on to build huge businesses and lasting digital communities.   

What were the experiences, challenges, and the lessons he learned along the way?  

He built a thriving church in San Diego, CA from scratch, which he did by successfully focusing on loving and serving people. He carried this same principle over into his tech ventures, where he mobilized his employees for social good. What he found was that fostering a sense of community can lead to profound impact and success. 

Then there’s the adaptability factor. The COVID-19 pandemic presented enormous challenges, but Josh and his team saw it as an opportunity to innovate. They created virtual technology solutions that helped their clients transition into “remote engagement.” This adaptability not only helped them thrive during tough times but also opened new avenues for growth. The lesson here? Always listen to your customers and be ready to pivot when necessary.

Josh and I are sipping on Señor Artesano Extra Añejo. This isn’t just tequila—it’s craftsmanship in a bottle. Aged for over 40 months, this 100% agave spirit delivers rich notes of cooked agave, roasted almonds, chocolate, and smooth vanilla, all wrapped in deep oak complexity. The finish? Crisp, refined, with just a hint of earthiness that lingers.

🔥 If you’re looking for a tequila that brings depth, character, and a touch of luxury to your glass, this one delivers.

As always, thank you for being a part of the Vaulted Views community!  

Cheers!
