    JOIN THE VALOR COFFEE COMMUNITY – Courses, Exclusive Videos, PDFs, Spreadsheets and more:⁠ ⁠https://community.valor.coffee?utm_source=spotify&utm_campaign=ep152Thanks for listening, following/subscribing, giving us a good review, and sharing with your friends on social media. It goes a long way!We had the pleasure of welcoming our longtime friend and mentor, Roy Keely, to the podcast this week. Roy played a pivotal role in helping us launch our first café through a private loan and has remained a key voice in our story over the past seven years. In this convo, we dive deep into the lessons Roy has taught us: about coffee, business, investing, time management, and how to not go broke starting a café. Roy has a knack for challenging conventional wisdom in the most encouraging way possible, and this episode is packed with insights for anyone thinking about starting a coffee shop (or already in the trenches). Also, we finally addressed the early cold brew controversy... you won, Roy.*If you purchase something through one of our links, we may be entitled to a share of the sale*Buy Valor Coffee: ⁠⁠https://valor.coffee/shop?utm_source=spotify&utm_campaign=ep152Watch on Youtube: ⁠⁠https://youtube.com/valorcoffee16⁠⁠Want to become a Wholesale Partner?
