The Perfect Pitch

Jake Peavy Joins Broken Top Brands as MVP

In the high-stakes game of business, it takes a blend of tenacity, determination, and a dash of flair to come out on top. No one embodies this winning spirit better than Affton Coffelt, the visionary founder behind Broken Top Brands. As BT sets our sights on expansion, what began as a humble line of soy wax candles has transformed into an all-encompassing stop for natural home and body products. 


In the world of business, success isn't just about having a nose for it; it's about having a nose that leads the way. Over the past eight years, BT has been riding a scent-sational wave toward household name status, and it's time to crank up the heat! To bolster our lineup, BT has made an unexpected but power-packed addition to the team: former Major League Baseball (MLB) star, Jake Peavy.


When Affton met retired pitcher Jake Peavy through a mutual friend, they instantly clicked and shared dreams of taking the business world by storm. Jake's transition from throwing fastballs to managing business calls added an unexpected twist to their connection. After several cross-country brainstorming sessions, it became clear that their ideas were destined to hit it out of the park. After all, when it comes to teamwork, Jake knows a thing or two!


The result? Affton has officially drafted Jake as a partner to help Broken Top step up to the plate. This game plan involves expanding retail reach, growing the customer base, and concocting exciting new products. And fear not, this evolution keeps the brand true to its roots – offering affordable luxury through eco-friendly fragrances that range from familiar classics to delightful surprises, catering to all walks of life.

"From the very first conversation with Affton, I was genuinely impressed. Her presentation and demeanor left a strong impression on me. When I had the opportunity to visit Bend and witness their brand-new facility, complete with a well-maintained storefront and efficient operations, it was everything one could hope for. As I delve deeper into their day-to-day operations and the inner workings of the brand, I am truly excited to contribute to its future."
- Jake Peavy


Now, you might wonder: what does a baseball pitcher know about home and body products? Well, it turns out Jake Peavy has more in his arsenal than just a wicked curveball. Beyond his athletic prowess, Jake is a serial entrepreneur, boasting ownership of restaurants, bars, and even the award-winning Dauphin Street Sound studio in Mobile, Alabama, with two Emmys and a shiny collection of gold and platinum records. These real-world experiences are what he's bringing to the table as he and Affton embark on this aromatic adventure. Together, they're not just opening doors; they're knocking them down!

"Our mutual love and respect for entrepreneurship might be the most substantial commonality. The strategic goals behind the partnership revolve around building off of one another's networks, expediting the brand's growth, and assisting in funding future endeavors of the organization."
- Affton Coffelt 

So, consider this your fragrant front-row seat to the most exciting partnership in town where two worlds collide, not just in the spirit of entrepreneurship but with a side of friendship, taking this sensational brand to heights that even the grandest slam couldn't match!
