We go through many discussions with a variety of new and seasoned Specialty Coffee Pros about careers and owning your own shop. It's a path filled with many firsts, success, and loss. We get to chat with the very talented and phenomenal pro, Erica Escalante about owning a business and career going forward. We loved learning not only about her journey, but her insight into creating it, making it, and having to let it go is filled with valuable perspective and knowledge.
