220. Frankie Bailey On Running the Iconic Coffee Company in Elizabethton

Frankie Bailey is the Owner of The Coffee Company. The Coffee Company coined "The living room of Elizabethton," has been a foundation of the downtown community for 27 years. Frankie has been running this business for 7 of those years and loves the community and the magic that happens over an amazing cup of coffee and healthy nourishing food.  The Coffee Company housed in a building built in 1937, offers the environment and ambiance perfect for meetings, studying, collaborations and celebrations of any kind. The heart of leadership development and community growth has led Frankie to volunteer her time sitting on multiple boards including Main Street Elizabethton and the Chamber of Commerce. She spends her free time and most treasured time having fun and supporting her two daughters whose lives keep her on her toes! She loves playing with her Great Pyrenees pup, Walter and sweet elderly cat, Jack Copper Bottom. Connect with Frankie & The Coffee Company: Instagram- @thecoffeeco_tn  Facebook- The Coffee Company Order online at https://tncoffeecompany.com/ Whether you're interested in entrepreneurship, community engagement, or just love a good cup of coffee, this episode has something for everyone!00:00 Introduction and Weather Talk00:31 Welcoming Miss Frankie Bailey01:49 Frankie's Background and Journey04:22 The Coffee Company Story11:51 Community Involvement and Future Plans20:11 First Job Experiences21:46 Working in the Coffee Industry23:08 Influential People and Mentors24:33 Challenges of Running a Business32:37 Community and Personal Life36:26 Conclusion and Final Thoughts
