What It's About
An update from a co-founder of a popular cold brew coffee brand.
Notes from Chris
Episode 1349
Welcome to Throwback Thursday / “Where are they now?” where we take an in-depth look at someone who’s story has evolved considerably since we first featured them. Last week we heard from Willem, the guy behind Vertallis, a board game to facilitate deep conversations. A couple weeks ago we featured the graphic designer for dogs who’s now grown into a full-fledged agency, retrieving clients from other industries. Today, in our latest feature, we’ll hear from Alex French, the co-founder of Bizzy Coffee. What’s happened since? Well, they started while they were training for an obstacle course race. Also, one note just in case it’s not clear: Bizzy Coffee ended up joining an accelerator and raising capital, which is not usually the Side Hustle School way. However, this happened after they’d already started the business on the side and were seeing initial success—so it’s not a startup in the typical startup way. Listen to today's episode to hear Alex's updates...MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:
