George Howell may have sold his company to Starbucks — but he never sold out. A pioneer of the specialty coffee movement, George began his journey in 1975 with the founding of The Coffee Connection, a beloved Boston-based chain that helped redefine what American coffee could be. Nearly two decades later, Starbucks acquired the company – but George wasn't finished. In 2012, he re-entered the retail scene with George Howell Coffee, a brand rooted in his unwavering commitment to quality, transparency, and education. In this episode, George shares how his dual passions for art and exceptional coffee sparked a revolution in café culture, long before Starbucks became a household name. From modest beginnings to becoming a global advocate for farmers and flavor integrity, George has always played the long game, prioritizing substance over trend. He reveals the untold story behind the drink that evolved into the Frappuccino, why so many cafés miss the mark on customer experience, his unapologetic stance on flavored coffee, and why black coffee should be as revered as fine wine. Show notes: 0:25: Interview: George Howell, Founder, George Howell Coffee – After Ray makes an awkward admission, George opens up about the origins of his lifelong passion for coffee, tracing it back to his early days in the art world, where he represented Indigenous Mexican artists. This path eventually led him to open his first café in the 1970s. He clears up a common misconception – that he invented the Frappuccino – explaining instead how the beverage fit into Starbucks's acquisition of his company. Throughout the conversation, George emphasizes the core values that have guided his career: exceptional customer service, employee well-being, and direct, lasting relationships with coffee farmers, many of whom he still visits regularly, even in his 80s. He highlights one of the most significant innovations in his career: freezing beans to preserve their freshness, a method he believes has revolutionized coffee quality. George also discusses the recent redesign of George Howell Coffee's packaging, aimed at better educating customers about origin, processing, and flavor. For him, success isn't measured by profit, but by the ability to share knowledge and elevate understanding. The conversation ends on a light note, with Ray suggesting a new way to order a simple black coffee. Brands in this episode: George Howell Coffee, Starbucks

In this episode of The Fierce Factor, I'm unpacking the truth about loyalty programs, and why so many in aesthetics are missing the mark. We've been sold the idea that memberships and loyalty programs are the secret to patient retention. But here's the reality: most are designed backwards. They rely on discounts, lock patients in with contracts, and create operational chaos — all while eroding profit and burning out your team. I'll share what the world's most trusted brands, think Costco, Starbucks, and Peloton,  understand about loyalty that most aesthetic practices overlook. You'll learn how to design programs that make patients feel invested, not obligated… and how to turn your existing community into a movement that fuels sustainable, cash-positive growth. If you're ready to move beyond cookie-cutter memberships and create real loyalty that lasts, you won't want to miss our upcoming free webinar, Founder Forum: Building Loyalty Programs That Actually Work, on October 29th.

Send us a textIn this episode, we sit down with Don Kieffer, senior lecturer at MIT Sloan School of Management and co-author of There's Gotta Be a Better Way, to talk about what actually makes companies run well. Don has spent decades helping organizations, from Harley-Davidson factory floors to biotech labs, design better systems that unlock real performance. We break down the five-principle framework he developed with his co-author, Nelson Repenning, an MIT PhD, MIT Sloan professor, and leading expert in operations and systems thinking, for building operational excellence: solving the right problem, structuring for discovery, connecting the human chain, regulating for flow, and visualizing the work.Through stories that range from front-desk hotel check-ins to a corrugated cardboard plant and even private equity fundraising pipelines, Don shows how tiny operational tweaks can deliver huge impact. We explore why firefighting cultures keep companies stuck in a “capability trap,” why automation without fixing the human system first is a mistake, and why the best private equity playbooks focus on execution, not spreadsheets. For founders, operators, and investors alike, this is a practical, no-fluff conversation about how businesses actually scale.Before diving into operations, we also touch on recent rumblings in credit markets, continuing our discussion on  the failed refinancing of First Brands and the liquidation of TriColor to bank fraud write-offs and how credit default swaps can amplify market stress. It's a lively, two-part arc: first, the operational playbook; next, how top investors at Private Equity firms think about value creation inside portfolio companies.Check out the book HEREFor 20% off Deleteme, use the code TWSS or click the link HERE!

Saturday could see the largest mass demonstration in modern American history. The "No Kings" rallies across the country will see millions turn out to voice their discontent with Donald Trump and his administration's increasingly authoritarian actions. Robert De Niro is among those urging people to take to the streets, But senior MAGA figures are trying to discredit the whole thing before it's even started. They are describing it as a "Hate America" rally - demonstrators labelled "pro-Hamas", "Antifa", and "rabid". Will Donald Trump's base really buy that? Or should the White House be concerned about the swell of civil discontent? We speak to Bill McKibben, behind the group Third Path which is helping to organise the rallies. Later, Joe Rogan has condemned the way ICE is snatching an ever increasing number of people from the streets. Marjorie Taylor Greene has taken to CNN to criticise the lack of leadership on healthcare coming from her own party.

In this episode, founder and CEO Cy Cain reveals how the Portland-based brand is carving out a distinct space in the booming ready-to-drink category by prioritizing bar-quality cocktails crafted from in-house ingredients and held to uncompromising standards. Cy outlines a strategy rooted in deliberate, thoughtful growth rather than chasing viral trends. He dives into the brand's innovative approach to creative R&D, leveraging limited releases and direct-to-consumer exclusives to experiment boldly and gather insights that shape future core offerings.  He also highlights how investments in in-house production, B Corp certification and sustainability efforts, alongside strategic partnerships with Costco, Alaska Airlines and Shake Shack, demonstrate that a patient, craft-centric mindset and a strong brand identity can make a powerful impact in even the most crowded markets.
