What It's About
An update from a mobile coffee roaster who blends beans with home life.
Notes from Chris
Episode 1377
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. We recently heard from an accountant who sells spreadsheet templates and other financial resources to creatives, a guy who made $100,000 on Fiver, and many more. Today, in our latest feature, we’ll hear from a Washingtonian who started selling coffee in his neighborhood to teach his kids about small business. He ended up learning a few things himself. We first featured him in Ep. 549, which was approximately, well... exactly—828 days ago! Listen to today's episode to hear Doug's updates...MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:
