Hello!
We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving/holiday weekend. We have lots to share from our first pop up that happened on Saturday and excited to share. Thanks so much to everyone who was able to stop by and a huge shoutout to Leaf and Vine for hosting us for small business Saturday.
Sorry for the bad audio this week, I'll be making some tweaks to make sure it's dialed in for next week.
Thanks as always for your continued support,
Patrick
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
We hope you're doing well and that your bellies are full. This week is a short episode as we're getting ready for our first pop up!

Thankful for each and every one of you,

I'm super excited to share a podcast to document the journey of building Charlie's Coffee Co. Patreon members can get access to the podcast a week early through a Patreon exclusive Podcast Feed.
Getting a coffee company off the ground is hard. There's no playbook for how to build something like this and there are a million decisions to make every day and I want an outlet to talk about it. I hope through sharing my experience we can start to build a community of people who want to be involved with Charlie's Coffee Co.
In this episode my partner Courtney and I talk about our vision for a coffee shop, the podcast, and what's next to get us there.
If you have thoughts on the podcast or things you want us to discuss for next week, drop them in the comments bellow.
We hope you enjoy!
Patrick
