(Note: I first published this on LinkedIn. I thought fellow شائقین might enjoy it). Did آپ ever see a movie that آپ felt was speaking to آپ - one in which the character experienced something that آپ could relate to in your gut? یا maybe آپ heard the lyrics to a song that captured your personal heartbreak? یا maybe آپ saw a commercial for something آپ just had to have – as if someone had developed the solution to your very personal problem?

I have worked with companies on various aspects of innovation and growth for (gulp) decades. We often ask clients to describe a brand یا a company that they felt was "speaking to them" - one in which the message یا insight was meaningful and motivating to them. This helps clients understand what it means to connect with their customers, consumers, end users - whoever is buying what they are selling. As آپ might imagine, many people mention the brands that many of us can no longer imagine life without - Apple, ایمیزون (especially ایمیزون Prime), Shake Shack, Coke, Disney, Tesla, Taylor Swift, one Kardashian یا another - fill in your own.

For me, the brand that speaks to me is Starbucks. What مزید could they do, آپ might ask? I have made no secret that Starbucks consistently delivers my now daily (used to be monthly and weekly) extra hot, venti, decaf, skinny, mocha latte? Drumroll, please!!! Introducing Starbucks Mobile Order and Pay. From the comfort of my own home, یا meeting, یا car, یا from any activity whatsoever, I just send my order to the nearest Starbucks - and get this - I don't wait in line. I don't even cut the line. I have my own special "Mobile Order and Pay" pick-up line where my drink is waiting with a printed label with my name and order. I have made مزید than one enemy as I laugh with delight as I skip to the front to get my drink - so relaxed (and with extra time) that I can saunter back to my car, steaming coffee in hand.

Now granted, the idea of immediate gratification is not new. We order items online that get delivered practically before we hit send. We order cars that دکھائیں up in minutes. We watch whatever دکھائیں we want whenever we want wherever we want. But this is a whole new high. What a great time to be alive.

And granted, Starbucks isn't perfect. Like the outlets in Target and Barnes & Noble near me don't have all of the flavors. Some of the locations aren't as clean یا as appealing as they used be. Not all of them have my sugar-free skinny mocha syrup, and try to pass off the regular mocha syrup with skim دودھ as a skinny latte. Not every barista communicates that it is his/her absolute pleasure to make an overpriced drink for an impatient commuter, student, mother, professor, butcher, baker یا candlestick maker.

But still, hats off to you, Starbucks. I will continue to endure the scorn of my family as I sometimes take them on a wild ہنس chase looking for a Starbucks wherever we are (even if we don't have time to stop). And of course, there are the seemingly and the endless charges on my credit card for the dastardly automatic reload for me and my Starbucks partner in crime (you know who آپ are). But I will muscle on, because Starbucks, آپ (and Tom Cruise in Jerry Maguire) complete me - ALMOST. The "ALMOST" is because I don't want آپ to stop trying.
