This podcast has been months in the making but we both wanted to do it in person and it was great to make that happen. No studio, no amazing production, just two people in a room speaking about what we love. Chris is an amazing advocate for what should be the foundations of coffee shop. Tech and innovation are the talk of the industry right now, but what actually matters? What moves the needle for running a succesful business in coffee and keeping customers coming back day after day? If you're wanting to open a coffee shop or improve your operation, this is an amazing resource for you that is 100% free.
