Supporting the ambitions of others to meet promise and potential.
Coffee Talk Series
A mastermind group
The coffee community can do more together than any one coffee business can do alone.
Coffee Talk invitees
I established Coffee Talk as an industry night concept for facilitated discussion. The topics would be strategy, the market and collaboration. These free, private events for Vancouver, WA-area coffee café owners gradually took on the ‘Live Interviews of the Ambitious’ banner (below).
In 2019, I have organized and facilitated discussions for four events featuring some seriously-talented speakers and collaborators (special Thank You to Shruti Chatterjee) with resources packaged and archived for everyone’s use.
