Giles and Esther have delayed the recording of the podcast so they can respond to Rachel Reeves much anticipated budget. Turns out they didn't need to as the whole thing was leaked! With the mansion tax potentially looming large should people consider devaluing their houses? If so, how might one go about doing that…? And if the Chancellor is taxing milk shakes and lattes Giles thinks she should go a step further.Is fame bad for your health? With some experience of the matter both Esther and Giles think so. But wonder if there is an element of chicken and egg about fame – does it attract a more fragile sort, or does it cause the fragility? Finally, the case of Nigel Farage and the accusations of schoolboy racism. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Quand Thomas Parrain reprend Marlette, ce coffee shop iconique de la rue des Martyrs, il ne reprend pas qu'un fond de commerce : il reprend une histoire, une communauté, une marque aimée. Surtout, il reprend un actif fragile à remettre à flot, un lieu à faire grandir, un héritage à honorer… en douceur.Ancien marketeur amoureux des bons produits, Thomas raconte la reprise comme on raconte un chantier minutieux : un audit express entre finances, RH et atelier de production, des montagnes russes émotionnelles, puis le « jour 1 », celui où tout est à faire… sans rien brusquer.Au menu de cet épisode☕ Le parcours de Thomas, de l'industrie agroalimentaire à la reprise d'un coffee shop.☕ Les coulisses de la reprise de Marlette, entre audit, dossier, tribunal et reprise express.☕ Comment analyser un dossier, se démarquer et gagner un appel d'offres,☕  Comment créer (ou recréer) des habitués et stimuler une communauté.☕ Ouvrir un deuxième lieu : ce qui change, ce qui surprend et ce qui ne s'anticipe jamais.☕ Et surtout : comment créer un café qui devient chez eux pour ceux qui y passent chaque matin.Hébergé par Ausha.

On connaît tous la tradition du petit expresso en terrasse, ce rituel typiquement français. Mais cette habitude semble aujourd'hui bousculée par une nouvelle génération d'établissements : les coffee shops. Et ce n'est pas qu'une impression : en France, un nouvel établissement de ce type ouvre chaque semaine, selon le “Collectif Café”, la principale fédération française du café. Résultat : en quinze ans, le nombre de coffee shops a bondi de 74 % dans tout le pays. Comment le café est-il devenu un rituel pour les Français ? Comment sommes-nous passés des cafés classiques de type bistrot aux coffee shops ? Écoutez la suite de cet épisode de "Maintenant, vous savez". Un podcast Bababam Originals écrit et réalisé par Magalie Bertet. À écouter ensuite : Comment profiter au mieux des bienfaits du café ?

MY NEWSLETTER - https://nikolas-newsletter-241a64.beehiiv.com/subscribeJoin me, Nik (https://x.com/CoFoundersNik), as I interview Alex Nelson (https://x.com/weddingvenueguy).I'm thrilled to welcome back Alex Nelson, the wedding venue guy! When we last spoke, he had just launched his incredibly successful Iowa wedding venue with zero experience.Now, Alex has expanded beyond the venue, buying five coffee shops and supporting his wife's baby boutique, leading me to call him a mogul. We dive deep into his journey since that first venture, starting with how he and his wife booked their own venue a year and a half out, inspiring the business idea. Alex shares the shocking reality of building a multi-million dollar venue from the ground up, dealing with massive budget overruns (the original $1.5 million budget ended up closer to $2.7 million!).He explains the intense stress of unexpected construction delays that forced them to refund deposits from booked weddings, a situation he said felt like the start of a Ponzi scheme. We also discuss the key advantages of using an SBA 7A loan for real estate projects, specifically the 25-year amortization period.Finally, Alex details his shift from the high-ticket, specific needs of the wedding venue business to acquiring and rebranding multiple coffee shop locations, and offers excellent advice for anyone looking to enter the wedding venue space, including essential ways to test demand.Questions This Episode Answers:1. What are the key advantages of using an SBA 7A loan when financing both real estate and a business?2. How do you accurately gauge market demand for a new standalone wedding venue?3. What happens when catastrophic construction delays impact a business that operates purely on pre-booked deposits?4. Is it easier to buy an existing business (like four coffee shops) or build one from scratch (like a wedding venue)?5. What is the most critical first step (and financial commitment) an aspiring wedding venue owner should take?Enjoy the conversation!__________________________Love it or hate it, I'd love your feedback.Please fill out this brief survey with your opinion or email me at nik@cofounders.com with your thoughts.__________________________MY NEWSLETTER: https://nikolas-newsletter-241a64.beehiiv.com/subscribeSpotify: https://tinyurl.com/5avyu98yApple: https://tinyurl.com/bdxbr284YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/nikonomicsYT__________________________This week we covered:00:00 – How he discovered the wedding-venue idea03:02 – Booking a venue before even being engaged05:26 – Saving money & early planning07:36 – COVID moment: deciding to build now10:01 – SBA loan plan + cost jump to $2.7M12:27 – Construction delays & real challenges17:19 – Taking deposits before the venue existed19:34 – Stress, refunds & near-disaster moments24:20 – Year 1–3 revenue growth29:04 – Buying & expanding multiple coffee shops36:16 – Scaling operations & improving systems41:02 – Future plans: more shops + another venue

Marcus' What You Know 'Bout That trivia game for Thursday November 20th, 2025.

I was invited to speak recently to a group of coffee professionals on the state of the industry based on what I have experienced through my consulting, career, and interviews. One of the main things I shared was that coffee quality in roasted form is at an all time high. But quality is embarrassingly low. The issue is not the coffee, equipment, access to information, or even money. It is a refusal to train staff and continue investing in their abilities to deliver quality. Today on Shift Break we will be discussing the urgent need for today's coffee shop to invest in and develop their staff with relevant and effective training. This has to be a priority and we are seeing the consequences across the industry as customers faith in our ability to deliver continues to decline and convenience innovations continue o go up. The solutions to your problems are not in tech, finance, or sourcing. It is in relationships, personal growth, and a culture of training that maximizes the value of each opportunity to represent the coffee well and serve the guest with excellence.

Time for our last installment of live interviews from Coffee Fest 2025. This time from Orlando, FL USA! We are talking with four awesome professionals about everything from training and tasting, Florida coffee culture and barista work - to career dreams coming true through hard work and faith, and empowering your baristas with distributed management!  First we are talking with Claudio Martinez! For Claudio, coffee has never been just a drink, it is part of his soul, rooted in his family's 70-year heritage in Honduras. That connection was reignited in Thessaloniki, Greece, where, under the mentorship of Tony Sebastian of I Heart Coffee Roasters, he embraced the beauty, tradition, and community that coffee represents. His first hands-on experience came in a small drive-through coffee shop in Ellendale, North Dakota, owned by a close friend. As a young barista, Claudio discovered the joy of serving others one cup at a time. That spark guided him forward, leading to opportunities with global icons such as Lavazza, where he worked as a trainer and educator, and later with List + Beisler, where he shared exceptional coffees as a green trader with roasters across the country. Each step nurtured his gratitude and reinforced his belief in coffee as a bridge between cultures and communities. Today, as the driving force behind Golden Bush Coffee, Claudio channels that lifelong passion into supporting food and beverage communities throughout Florida and beyond. His mission is grounded in humility and purpose, guided by the belief that coffee is never just about what's in the cup—it is about people, stories, and the connections it creates. Links:  https://goldenbushcoffee.com/ https://www.instagram.com/goldenbushcoffee/   Next up we feature Vanessa Jaramillo! Vanessa Jaramillo is the Regional Events & Operations Coordinator for Florida Coffee Culture, where she helps connect and celebrate the people behind Florida's growing specialty coffee scene. As a Colombian-American, Vanessa's connection to coffee began long before she became a barista — she visited origin before ever working behind a bar. After discovering specialty coffee in Australia during her gap year, she returned to Florida with a deep passion for community and storytelling. With three years in the coffee industry, Vanessa has immersed herself in every part of the craft — from cuppings and throwdowns to competitions and community events. She's driven by the belief that coffee is a universal connector that brings people together from all walks of life. Links: https://www.flcoffeeculture.com/ https://www.instagram.com/floridacoffeeculture/ We then turn to chat with Maria Esther Lopez Thome! María Esther is the Co-Founder and Co-Creator of Coffea School, a Coffee & Tea Training Center located in Miami Gardens, Florida. Lawyer, with Master in Tax and Administrative Law. Q-Instructor. SCA Authorized Trainer in the entire Coffee Skills Program, from seed to cup. SCA-ReCo Fellow. SCA Technical Standard Committee Fellow, 2016-2018. CQI Q-Processing Professional. CQI Quality Evaluation and Post-Harvest Processing Assistant Instructor. CVA Program Trainer. Has traveled the world teaching about coffee: Venezuela, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Ethiopia, United States. Passionate about coffee and the incredible relationships that growth in within. A sustainability believer, always willing to learn more.  Links: https://coffeaschool.com/ https://www.instagram.com/coffeacompany/?hl=en Finally we round off the episode with a wonderful conversation with Katherine Morris! Katherine Morris is the Owner and CFO of Cherry Coffee Company in Fort Worth, Texas, which includes Cherry Coffee Shop, a values-driven neighborhood café, and Novel Coffee Roasters, a specialty roastery with a focus on intentional sourcing and private-label partnerships. With over 18 years of experience across finance, nonprofit, and hospitality, Katherine blends operational know-how with a people-first approach to leadership. At Cherry, she introduced a shared management model that empowers baristas to lead key areas of the business — from coffee development to inventory — helping create a resilient, collaborative team culture.

People are fighting for a Starbucks ‘Bearista' cup, then reselling them for hundreds of dollars. Connery DeHuff shared his rejected Starbucks cup. The password to Louvre's video surveillance system was 'Louvre'. Ignacia Fernández, model, vocalist, and founder of Chilean death metal band Decessus - shocked everyone by performing during the talent portion of the Miss World Chile 2025. Connery is sent into a world of confusion after hearing her. The Colorado Rockies hired Paul DePodesta - former Cleveland Browns chief strategy officer. As well as, the inspiration for the Jonah Hill character. He'll run the Rockies baseball operations department. Jonathan Taylor of the Colts is the current MVP. If the Denver Broncos don't fix their sluggish offense, they won't beat the Chiefs, and they won't do squat in the playoffs. Kim Kardashian failed the California bar exam, does that shock anyone?

Abi Murray invites us to a cup of coffee and a nice conversation care of the Chatty Cafe Scheme. This all began on a typical wet and windy UK day when Abi's sister Alex Hoskyn was in a supermarket café with her four month old son, who wasn't great company, and she herself was feeling a bit tired and a bit fed up. Alex looked around the cafe and saw others who looked just as down as she felt herself and she started to think about the positive impact we can have on one other simply by sitting together and communicating. She knew from her own experience that when you are feeling lonely, a short conversation with another human can really brighten your day. It was in that very moment her ‘Chatter & Natter' table idea began (in her head where all dreams do) and it soon became reality. Now in 900 cafes throughout the UK and an additional 200 in Australia, the Chatty Cafe Scheme allows anyone feeling lonely to take a seat and connect. Abi shares the journey she and Alex have been on and the importance of creating community. We also speak with volunteer John Ford about his experience with this organization and what it's meant to him to connect with others as someone who moved to the UK from another country himself.

Episode Title: Rain Sounds for Working: Coffee Shop RainDescription: Find your focus with the cozy blend of steady rain and subtle coffee shop ambience. In this episode we layer gentle rainfall with distant clinks, low conversations, and the soft hiss of an espresso machine to create an ideal soundscape for concentration, creative work, or relaxed studying. Learn how ambient rain paired with light café noise can mask distractions, improve task persistence, and provide a comforting background that supports sustained productivity.Quick tips covered:Use this mix for deep work sessions (try 25–50 minute blocks).Adjust volume so the sounds recede into the background—comfort over immersion.Pair with a simple ritual (warm drink, tidy desk, short stretch) to signal focus time.When creativity stalls, switch to a slightly louder rain layer or add gentle instrumentals.Take a breath, make your workspace inviting, and let the Coffee Shop Rain carry your attention forward—just a few minutes of calm can change the tone of your whole day.Join us next time for another tranquil soundscape to help you relax, focus, and recharge.=======DISCLAIMER

Who you are cannot be what someone else is or is not. What makes you unique and valuable is not born from comparative analysis and cold execution n what you think a "wimning" formula is. Making and keep specialty coffee special is a simple exercise in growing in knowledge, wisdom, and consistent conversation with yourself, your team, your community, and the greater world around you. Trouble is that we often want to skip the meaningful parts, and borrow other peoples identities as our own in hopes of success.  On today's episode we will be talking about what makes the small independent specialty retailer special. Why Starbucks closure of 400 stores is a warning for us to distance ourselves from the false notions of learning good business from big business, and the simple steps and philosophies that lead to sustainable and fulfilling cafe operation.  Related Episodes:  Excellence In The Things We Hate 181 : Organizational Self-Knowledge 523: Encore: How We Ruin Specialty Coffee Experience The Quality Standards Equation How to talk to Customers about Coffee SHIFT BREAK!

In their heyday of the 1970s and 1980s, there were more than 200 - possibly more than 400 - feminist restaurants and coffee shops in the USA and Canada. These places were aiming to change ways of working, and upend the hierarchies of restaurants; to provide food that was ethically sourced and affordable to customers, while providing staff with a decent wage; to signal to particular kinds of people that a space was specifically for them. They didn't always succeed, and often they didn't last for more than a couple of years. But they sure did try things. Dr Alex Ketchum, author of Ingredients for Revolution, a History of American Feminist Restaurants, Cafes, and Coffeehouses, explains the ups and downs of how these places used words.Visit theallusionist.org/breadroses for more information about today's topics, plus a transcript of the episode.Support the show at theallusionist.org/donate and as well as keeping this independent podcast going, you also get behind-the-scenes info about every episode; livestreams with me, Martin and my ever-growing collection of dictionaries, and the charming and nurturing Allusioverse Discord community, where we're watching the current season of Great British Bake Off, and donors are learning that apparently it is a surprisingly productive source of writing inspiration for me.This episode was produced by me, Helen Zaltzman, on the unceded ancestral and traditional territory of xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

The difference between dirty, dysfunctional, or neglected, and something that is maintained but has character, is the level of intentionality given to it. In many shops, we find broken and dismal conditions that really should have been maintained and fixed, but are often explained away as simply the age of the café itself as though it adds character. Most of the time we're fooling ourselves. Today on shift break, we are going to be talking about the difference between character and neglect and how to properly give attention to the place that we are welcoming people into so they have fewer distractions from enjoying their experience.  Related episodes: 307 : 10 Simple ways to Level Up your Coffee Shop 240 : What to do before your Build your Bar Working Clean : Tips for keeping the bar looking and working well while you work 523: Encore: How We Ruin Specialty Coffee Experience SHIFT BREAK: Keeping the Shop APPLY NOW TO KEY HOLDER COACHING GROUPS!
