• Ristretto Shots: Inspiring email from a listener

  In this episode of Ristretto Shots I read Phil’s email to me about a coffee gig he did, describing how it went and how much fun he had going out on his own and making it happen! This is what it’s all about folks; just getting out of your comfort zone and having a blast doing it. http://www.ristrettotime.com

• 26 - Interview with Jamie and Ryan Getchell of The Nest Family Cafe

  I have been thinking about doing this interview for months! Ryan and Jamie are the founders of The Nest Family Cafe in Londonderry, NH. They -- just like me -- started without having any coffee or business experience. After over a year and a half of hard work, they took the leap of faith, left the comforts of corporate behind and dove into this new adventure. We talk about how they started, the easy parts and hard parts of owning and running a business. We talk about how they run their shop, how they manage their staff, marketing, social media and how they feel about their journey as new business owners. If you are seriously thinking about running a business, listen to Ryan and Jamie and maybe this is the nudge you needed.

• 25 - Books that helped me through the process

  I have gotten a few emails with listeners asking what books I recommend. I email each person individually, but decided it would be more beneficial if I just record a Bonus episode. I broke the list in 4 categories: Coffee, Strategy, Operations, Mindset. I end it with some thoughts on work-life balance. As always, email me at [email protected] with any questions or comments. http://www.ristrettotime.com

• 22 - Cash, POSes and Scammers

  In this episode, I talk a bit about POSes, but spend a good amount of time talking about various aspects of working with cash and how to protect your business or coffee shop from scammers. I share some issues I ran into and how you can avoid them. Let me know what you think dollani(at)gmail.com. http://www.ristrettotime.com
