This year we got to learn from some of the best owner/operators around in the Founder Friday series. In this episode we go through from the beginning and listen in to some key points made by each of our superstar guests. Looking back at the kind of lessons and insights we heard, I am just amazed and grateful to be in an industry so rich with generous and talented people making a difference in specialty coffee. You definitely not want to miss this episode.

With this episode we conclude a full year of Keys to the Shop. Thank you so much for listening, subscribing, rating, commenting, sharing...all of it. I am blessed by you all and am looking forward to what in store for 2018!
