The Biggest Divide In Specialty Coffee – Valor Coffee Podcast Ep. 176

We dig into the abundance vs scarcity mindset divide that is currently splitting the coffee industry. We also talk through how post shift debriefs work day to day, why boundaries have swung too far in the industry's comments, and why an owner being the highest paid person on the team isn't automatically a red flag. It's not a takedown of anyone who disagrees, just an honest look at why the same message lands differently for different people. In our mind, abundance mindset wins every time.*If you purchase something through one of our links, we may be entitled to a share of the sale*A very special thank you to our incredible sponsors!Heyday Coffee Accounting — bookkeeping built for cafes, carts, and roasters!Get 10% off your first 3 months: https://heyday.cpa/valor?utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=ep176Local Eyes Growth — the SEO team behind Valor's catering growth.
