Cipher Fishing: Refined Tackle Choices for Improved Angling
Ryan Chris, CEO of Cipher Fishing, touts the company's products' performance, stating, 'As the CEO of Cipher Fishing, I am proud to introduce a tackle company built on the belief that success on the water starts with precision, not excess.'
Chris is the current owner and operator of the tackle shop Idaho Rod and Reel. He has over 20 years of experience in manufacturing and business development.
Cody Murray, president of Cipher Fishing, is a decorated amateur and professional angler with three years on the Wild West Bass Trail as a Pro, two years on the FLW Toyota Series Pro, and one year as an FLW Tour professional.
Cody Meyer, Cipher Fishing's director of product development, has been a pro angler for 17 years. He has 40 top-ten finishes and placed second in the Angler of the Year points for BASS opens in 2024. Meyer used cipher fishing products on the circuit, lending credibility to the tackle.'
With combined professional fishing and business experience, this trio announced Cipher Fishing as their entry into the fishing tackle market. The self-proclaimed fishing junkies believe that the rigorous quality testing they put their products through sets them apart from existing companies.
'Unlike other brands that rush untested products to market, we do things differently, proving every product through rigorous design and on-the-water testing before it ever reaches anglers,' Chris stated.
Quality and performance are the centerpieces of Cipher Fishing products. The Cipher Fishing team designed a hook around the tungsten ball head size, with separately manufactured coats and hooks to accomplish this.
Meyer and Murray informed Chris that the refinement of their equipment separates professional anglers from amateurs. Pro anglers pay considerably more attention to their hook and terminal tackle choices. Meyer was frustrated with the lack of quality tungsten nail weights he used for Neko rigging. Meyer's frustration led to the design of Cipher Fishing's two keystone products: a tungsten nail weight and their premium custom 'Kotae' hook.
Cipher Fishing's motto is simple and effective: Create the best terminal tackle available to elevate every angler's experience.

Rockets hire another senior business executive from Timberwolves
For a second time this summer, the Rockets hired a business executive from the Timberwolves. This time, it's Laura Meyer as senior vice president for business intelligence and performance marketing. In the aftermath of a recent NBA ownership change in Minnesota, the Houston Rockets are hiring another veteran executive from the Timberwolves. In June, longtime Timberwolves chief operating officer Ryan Tanke joined the Rockets in the same role. Now, per Tom Friend of Sports Business Journal (SBJ), Laura Meyer has been hired as Houston's senior vice president for performance marketing and business intelligence. SBJ has more details on her role: Lauded for her role in the T'Wolves' current 94-consecutive game sellout streak — while orchestrating the teams' efforts to become the first in the NBA and WNBA to deploy 100% digital ticketing — Meyer was recruited to Houston by former Tanke, now the COO in Houston. 'She's an absolute force, and a transformational hire for us,' Tanke said. Recently named a 2025 SBJ Game Changer, Meyer spent 19 years in Minnesota, focused initially on data and analytics. In 2010, under her guidance, the T'Wolves became the first pro team in the Twin Cities to utilize dynamic ticket pricing, and when the T'Wolves and Lynx successfully converted entirely to a digital ticketing template in 2015, she began ideating ways to make fans' mobile phones the centerpiece of their game experience. Eventually, in 2017, the launch of the team's phone app led to mobile ordering, mobile loyalty currency and discounts, and mobile payment functionality. Promoted in 2023 to senior vice president of business intelligence, Meyer's initiatives included a revamped courtside configuration that resulted in a 29% increase in premium seating — leading to significant revenue. She also oversaw the expansion of the Lexus Courtside Club, and, in 2024 led an eight-figure investment that focused, in part, on a renovation of a Target Center restaurant into a 500-member premium space. Earlier this summer, Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez officially replaced Glen Taylor in Minnesota's ownership role. Amid widespread changes, another leading executive who left the Timberwolves during that window is former CEO Ethan Casson, now president of the Dallas Mavericks. In Houston, Tanke and Meyer are working underneath Gretchen Sheirr, president of business operations with the Rockets. Tilman Fertitta has owned the Rockets since 2017, though given his current stint as the new U.S. Ambassador to Italy, it's his son — Patrick Fertitta — who is most involved on a day-to-day basis. Sheirr is one of the only women in the NBA to lead a team's business operations. Beyond the NBA, both Tanke and Meyer bring experience in building the brand of a WNBA franchise — which Houston hopes to land in the near future.

All-day NYC café Daily Provisions opens in Dupont Circle next week
Addictive crullers, all-day breakfast sandwiches and roast chicken are landing in Dupont Circle with the opening of Daily Provisions on Monday. Why it matters: Celebrity NYC restaurateur Danny Meyer is betting big on D.C. for his growing café empire. The big picture: Meyer's Union Square Hospitality Group spans Shake Shack to Michelin-starred Gramercy Tavern. Daily Provisions sits in between — all-day, casual-chic cafés running coffee-to-wine with dine-in and to-go. Dig in: Dupont's location replaces Foxtrot and glams up the space with 65 seats inside, on the patio and at a cozy bar. The menu mirrors NYC favorites — pastries, salads, soups, sandwiches — with a D.C.-only twist: a half-smoke breakfast sandwich with a runny egg and cheese. 🍗 Must-try: The roast chicken. Served as a half, whole or dinner for three with comforting sides. The intrigue: President Zach Koff — who led Shake Shack's growth for over a decade — says D.C. is among the first cities for expansion outside New York, where they have nine cafés.

Daily Provisions Makes Its D.C. Debut With All-Day Fare
is an Editorial Associate at Eater and a proud Washingtonian. She fell in love with food while growing up in Los Angeles, eating plenty of street tacos and Sichuan dishes. Daily Provisions, the cafe chain from NYC-based Union Square Hospitality Group, is making its D.C. debut this month. The fast-casual location will open in Dupont Circle's former Foxtrot storefront on Monday, August 18, at 9 a.m. (1601 Connecticut Ave NW). Going forward, Daily Provisions will serve straightforward, counter-service meals spanning breakfast, lunch, and dinner from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. This newest outpost, the eleventh location so far, will sling a special egg and cheese breakfast sandwich that swaps out bacon for a half-smoke patty (made by MeatCrafters in Landover, Maryland) and crispy potatoes. The newer fast-casual chain from Danny Meyer — the billionaire restaurateur behind Shake Shack and high-end NYC restaurants like Eleven Madison Park — has a simple premise. He built the first small outpost next to his beloved Union Square Cafe to fulfill what he calls 'the three Bs': beans (as in coffee), bread, and bird, referring to simple chicken dishes and where to get your eggs in the morning. The breakfast menu is simple, but full of high quality ingredients. Daily Provisions The crullers have developed a dedicated NYC fanbase. Daily Provisions Living barely 50 yards from his own restaurant, Meyer struggled to find a good cappuccino and a simple rotisserie chicken for a quick dinner at home after a long day. That's when he realized that the neighborhood needed an easily accessible carry-out place with quality all-day food and drinks that wouldn't break the bank. Serendipitously, he already had the perfect space. Union Square Cafe had recently moved locations (due to a huge rent hike), and the new space came with a second, smaller restaurant next door, which had slowly become an additional kitchen to help feed the crowds dining at the full-service restaurant. Left with what Meyer calls 'a small box' on the more residential side of Park Avenue South, he dreamed up somewhere to pick up a bacon, egg, and cheese and coffee in the morning; a sandwich or salad for lunch; and a whole rotisserie chicken with vegetable sides for dinner. While Shake Shack sells hardy burgers, hot dogs, and milkshakes that evoke the nostalgia of diners, Daily Provisions would supply simple, delicious food that you could eat for every meal, every day, either at the few indoor tables or taken out. 'Shake Shack is a treat,' Meyer explains. 'Even the most ardent Shake Shack fan is probably not going to have a milkshake every day, maybe not even once a week … that level of frequency is a really important distinction.' This was before 'the delivery revolution,' as Meyers calls it, and when the pandemic hit Daily Provisions' business exploded, while all of his other restaurants were struggling or temporarily closed. Meyer had waited four years to open his second Upper West Side location of Daily Provisions in late 2019, and went on to open multiple locations across New York City after 2020. A half-smoke breakfast sandwich, cruller, and coffee. Daily Provisions With seven locations in the city, this year Meyer turned to the rest of the East Coast, opening a Daily Provisions in Jersey City, Boston's Harvard Square (plus a slated Seaport expansion), and the Dupont Circle corner spot that he chose specifically because it's on 'the more residential' northern side of the circle — unlike the Shake Shack sitting in the bustling business district a few blocks south. The food is still simple at the D.C. outpost. Breakfast includes famous crullers covered in cinnamon sugar, maple, or glaze (called the best doughnut in NYC by the Infatuation); egg and cheese sandwiches under $10 (unless you want the fillings between maple crullers); everything-seasoned croissants stuffed with cream cheese; yogurt and granola; and avocado toast. Coffee ranges from espresso to drip to cold brew, plus matcha or chai lattes. Lunch and dinner highlights include a 'cheffy' salad with white beans, Gruyere cheese, and a jammy egg; a breaded chicken sandwich filled with melted mozzarella, roasted peppers, and Caesar dressing; and even a heavier patty melt with caramelized onions on rye bread. The half or full roasted chickens rule the menu of mains, with optional sides like Brussels sprouts with chile honey, crispy Parmesan potatoes, and a green bean and tomato salad. Classic wines are on the drinks menu, along with a beer list filled with local D.C. breweries, like Honor Brewing, Crooked Run Fermentation, and Aslin Beer Company. The only cocktail on the menu? An espresso martini, of course. Sides range from crispy potatoes to seasonal vegetable salads. Daily Provisions You can carry out the fluffy bread the sandwiches are served on. Daily Provisions Simple salads filled with chicken or kale and sandwiches with tuna or chicken salad. Daily Provisions It's not all about the food (or even the reliable coffee) for Meyer, however. He has always put incredible service at the forefront of his hospitality ventures. Whether his staff is serving a $365 tasting menu or a $7 breakfast sandwich, his employees 'have to be someone who is happier when you're making someone else feel better,' he says. It's hard to hire for that level of hospitality, he explains. While he'd love to see more Daily Provision locations in the DMV in the future, Meyer referenced winning a tennis championship when he talked about possible expansion, saying, 'I better win the first round or I'm out … especially playing on someone else's court.' When Daily Provisions opens on August 18, the first 100 diners in line for coffee and breakfast sandwiches will receive a free cruller.
