Joining me today on the Mads Singers Management Podcast is none other than David Gaines. David is the owner and CEO of La Terza Artisan Coffee Roasterie and the co-host of The Third Place Podcast.Although La Terza has initially been from his friend, David bought the business, and it made him realize what a great cup of coffee was and how big of a difference it was to drink a well-made cup of coffee. While I'm not a fan of coffee, David believes that there is still room for me to change and have a cup of good coffee one day.While people see coffee as a beverage, David sees it as a vehicle talks about being the third place and how coffee (and his coffee shop) became the third place where people from all walks of life can come together and hang out. This can also be where people can talk about uncomfortable topics or events they have in mind or witnessed personally.A social enterprise or social business is defined as a business with specific social objectives that serve its primary purpose. These kinds of businesses usually maximize their profits and benefits to both society and the environment. Social enterprises generally use their profits to fund social programs such as feeding programs, free medical and dental checkups, skills and job training, or something as simple as offering free haircuts or food packages to help people in need. These kinds of businesses usually work together with their community to achieve their goals. Whatever problem, no matter how small or big, an employee has at home, they will always carry it with them at work, and this reflects in their performance at work, which can affect the energy and flow of your business.Although business owners don't necessarily need to provide everything for their employees, being aware of how your employee is doing and lending a hand can help steer them back in the right direction.Spend time doing regular team buildings, Myers Briggs tests, and even DiSC assessments to find out how you and your employees can click together.Although the COVID-19 pandemic has delayed some plans, David looks forward to seeing an employee-owned business in the next couple of years, where he and his teams can share the cake. Once you've established your ground rules, you will have a company culture where everyone has each other's backs no matter what comes their way.Key Learning Points: David reminds us of the golden rule: treat other people how you want to be treated.- 04:35 Mads says that business owners should love their competitors because the world is so big and it's much better to collaborate with the people around you instead of competing.- 09:06 Mads says that when we focus on our competitors, we generate negative energy. - 09:27 David says that the happier our employees are, the more productive they become.- 11:50  David says that business owners should look at the whole person and how they can help and provide for that person to become more productive and build a company culture. - 14:20 David says the more opportunity business owners offer to their employees and seeing them as a whole person, the more we can build a team culture in our business.- 15:08 Mads says that when you don't have happy employees, your business has no value. - 16:01 David says that business owners should live and embody the values that they created for their business.- 16:40 David shares that business owners should hire for character first rather than skill set.- 26:56 Mads adds that he looks at attitude, culture, and personality fit when hiring because skills can be taught. - 28:52 Resources Mentioned:The Third Place PodcastSocial Enterprise AllianceConnect with David:LinkedInEmailWebsiteFacebookThe Radical Business Podcast

In this episode, I speak with two incredible humans who are the colleagues at La Terza Coffee and the co-hosts of the The Third Place Podcast. David Gaines is the CEO and Chief Visionary for La Terza Coffee, a full-service coffee resource that provides the highest quality coffee to consumers, and equipment as well as education for restaurants and coffee shops. People come to La Terza to open a shop and have a passion for community, but encouraging people to gather around for a drink and stay for a healthy conversation can be a difficult business model. This was the catalyst for why David want to launch the Third Place Podcast, a way to explore the grey space where deeper connections are fostered. Mary Allard has a degree in contemplative Psychology of Health & Healing, trained in authentic leadership styles. In addition to being the co-host of their podcast, she is the Business Development Director for La Terza Coffee, Founder of Five Element LLC, mentor for The Eating Disorder Foundation, and most recently, co-founder of the ELLEment movement, a platform designed to equip young females with their ability to identify, embrace, and articulate their unique experience in the world.

This week's guest is a very special man and true champion and advocate for women, David Gaines. David joins us from my hometown of Cincinnati. We were connected last year through a mutual friend around the International Women’s Day event that David was organizing. David has been called a "bonus woman" throughout his life, is a social entrepreneur, business owner, podcast host, father of 2 boys, and a husband and partner. He is a wealth of knowledge and information and shares from his heart about why he chooses to advocate for women and what other men can do to meet women in their truth. ABOUT OUR GUEST: DAVID GAINES David Gaines is the CEO and Chief Visionary for La Terza Coffee, a full service coffee resource that provides the highest quality coffee for consumers, and equipment and education for restaurants and coffee shops. Nearly everyone who comes to La Terza who wants to open a coffee shop has a love for coffee, but the driving passion behind why they want to start a coffee shop is this idea of a community. Most owners are asking, “How do I create safe spaces where people can actually have healthy dialogue with one another?” We don’t have to look very hard to see that as a society, there are so many hard conversations we need to have but we do not have the tools to have them. Community minded businesses are needed now, more than ever! However, encouraging people to gather around for a drink and stay for healthy conversations can be a difficult business model. Providing business support has been the heart of La Terza Coffee, and now, it is the catalyst for why David wanted to launch the Third Place podcast. There are so many ways all businesses can participate in helping bring conversational and communal health to those we interact with - from our customers, to our communities, our employees and even with our competition. David can’t wait to explore how we can all use our businesses to improve our social health! David lives in Cincinnati, Ohio with his wife Beth, and their two young sons, Parker and Lincoln.

Join for a thought provoking conversation with David Gaines, head of La Terza Coffee, as we discuss the vast possibilities of social enterprise. On a global scale, coffee is one of the worst industries for workers, many of whom are paid unfairly, or are forced to work without wages.

On this episode we talk about coffee.  REALLY good coffee...but it's still more than that.  It's about having the vision guts to dream big...and the self control to implement your dreams once step at a time.  Or, in this case, one cup at a time.
