I hear the word "vibes" used as a stand in for a lot of different things. Most often it is used to describe a somewhat ambiguous sense of good feelings or peace of mind around a culture or a person. The idea is great, but the issue is that without having specific and meaningful definitions of what brings those vibes to fruition, we end up with more problems than good times. Today on Shift Break we will be talking about how you can avoid making critical decisions around hiring, work, and the operation of your cafe based solely on "vibes", and start to make wise decisions based on standards that are based on more than a feeling. KEY HOLDER COACHING GROUPS APPLY TO THE 2026 KHCG COHORT! For cafe owners, the way you and your coffee shop grow is determined by how you are supported and nourished by community. The trouble is most owners are isolated, stressed, and are in desperate need of a type of community that is not just generally related to business but is made up entirely of other coffee shop owners who know exactly where you are coming from. That is what Key Holder Coaching Groups are all about. A small group of invested coffee shop owners who are dedicated to encouragement, accountability, insights, and helping each other grow. Our groups are limited 6-7 experienced cafe owners and we meet 12 times over 6 months in our Zoom sessions where we focus on member led topics that are actually relevant to the real life of a cafe owner. Each member received 2 hours of one-on-one coaching through this time and has access to our Circle community where they can keep the connection and conversation going between our calls. I would love to talk with you about how this unique group can make a difference in your life. Look below for a few testimonials of past members and click this link to apply for the Fall 2026 cohort! APPLY TO THE 2026 KHCG COHORT! Testimonials: My name is Susanna Winters and I am the owner and co -founder of Hilton Head Island Coffee Roasters. We're based out of Hilton Head, South Carolina. I've been part of Chris's key holder coaching group for I guess about five months now. And prior to that, I have participated in a few different business groups and business mentorship programs. And this coaching group has by far been the best and provided some of most value that we've received honestly in the two and a half years that we've been in business. And I think it's a combination of being paired with other business owners who are all at different places in their business. It really helps us take this big picture approach as well as get that really nitty gritty feedback, not only of what we need right now, but also what we might need a year from now. And the group that I was part of, it was honestly just so much fun and so much fun getting to know this group. Everyone provided so much value and they were honest and they were vulnerable and they were so transparent with their businesses and everyone really took that extra step to support each other, which is one of the reasons why I'm signing up to do it for another six months. But I absolutely recommend this coaching group. I think it's one the best things out there for new coffee shops, old coffee shops, anyone looking to elevate their business to the next level. -Susannah Winters/ Hilton Head Coffee Roasters For us looking back, I think we were at a point of growth that we needed to take the steps to grow, but we were wearing ourselves out and burnout was starting to set it. I feel if we didn't reach out for help with Chris we would have greatly struggled. Both during the coaching and as a result of the coaching. Working with KTTS consulting has been monumental for us as individuals and as a business. We were able to get insight and confidence in areas that we felt like we were really struggling in. We took huge steps with hiring a manager and equipping them to help lead. Chris' structure behind servant leadership really matched well with how we wanted to lead so it allowed a very cohesive development of our foundation for goals, foundations, requirements and leadership. I would HIGHLY recommend KTTS to anyone regardless if you are struggling for feeling as though you are on top of the world with your business. I feel that no matter where you are in your journey, there's always room for growth. I even believe a few years down the road and we are continuing to grow that we would do it again and learn to continue to keep growing in a healthy was as a business and staying healthy as entrepreneurs -Jessica Nguyễn Queen City and Co. I made the decision to become a part of the Key Holder Coaching Group (KHCG) primarily to establish connections with other professionals who are actively engaged in the coffee business. I have found that through coaching I have been able to improve my productivity, streamlining my operations and have a healthier life/work balance. The most beneficial aspect of the KHCG has been getting the opportunity to explore topics from multiple perspectives. I have found that even If I am not in the "Hot Seat" I am gaining valuable information that is relative to my business in some way. KHCG has proven to be a safe space for me to be vulnerable, increase my self-worth and positively adjust my mindset to get the most out of the experience. As business owners, we are, without a doubt, our most valuable asset. Investing in ourselves, stepping outside of our patterns and opening up to fellow business professionals within our field will absolutely bring fresh perspectives to solve problems and reminders to celebrate wins. You do not have to do it all or do it all alone, KHCG will be a valuable ally on your journey to success. -Sunny Cover / Peekskill Coffee Roasting Company / The Peekskill Coffeehouse

It's been a lousy time to collide with the best teams in the Eastern Conference this season. FC Cincinnati were given some bad servings of humble pie in Nashville and Philadelphia. At least home cooking should make the sour taste go away? Not so fast, my friend. Charlotte FC have owned the Queen City since 2024, winning the last two times at TQL Stadium. While both teams will be missing some important pieces as they chase the top of the conference, this six-pointer matchup will be important for any playoff runs. We bring in Brian from TopBin90 to give us his perspective on a Charlotte team that needed health in the right places to get on track. How can Cincinnati turn things around without their best player? How can Charlotte keep their streak alive missing their own midfield piece? And has the Crown's season turned around with just one addition, or do they need more for the postseason run?

All too often we are likely to stick with the comfortable and known dysfunction or the habitual neglect of important areas of our business, than to take the uncomfortable but needed step of fixing and bringing life into those areas. In fact, I believe avoidance of taking action on those areas in need of attention is the first step in business failure. Today on Shift Break we will be talking about embracing the pain associated with bringing attention, resource, and life back into areas that have been cut off and neglected and why doing so is in your coffee shop's best interest.

You may have the best advice and information, but then your delivery can often fall flat or even have the opposite effect. This is very common in the cafe leadership environment where things are busy and our emotions feed into how we speak.

ACT's proposal to shake up permanent residency rules has been labelled as a 'big fail' by an immigration lawyer. The party wants make changes to the existing resident visa, increasing the window when holders can start moving freely in and out of the country from two years to five. To retain their visa, the holder would need to be physically present for at least 730 days within any rolling five year period. But Queen City Law's Marcus Beveridge told Mike Hosking there's no need for this at all – the current system has enough flexibility and has worked well over the last 30 years. He also believes it would torpedo the Golden Visa, as a big part of it is the ability to come ang go as you please. Beveridge says the changes would tie people down here, describing it as the "kiss of death". LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If we want our staff to succeed, we have to give them clear target to aim for. Unfortunately shocking number of cafes have what I would describe as invisible targets that only appear once the arrow is released. No wonder managers and other staff feel that winning at work is a rigged game.

The fans won't call it a rivalry or give it a proper name, but it deserves to be recognized. When Cincinnati was the punk rocker, Nashville was playing the blues. Now the Music City is hotter than their chicken, while the Queen City is under a gentle boil. This couldn't have happened overnight, but Nashville SC are the current U.S. Open Cup holders. There's a great chance they run away with the Supporters' Shield. Dare we even consider them to be easily in the running for a double? We bring in Tyler from BigTV to give us a fantastic analysis on why Nashville's potentially breaking records. How did the team without a constant #9 become the gold standard? Is Brian Schwake really the USMNT goalkeeper of the future? Tune in and trade threads with us! #MLS #FCCincinnati #soccer Become a Patron!

The trouble is most owners are isolated, stressed, and are in desperate need of a type of community that is not just generally related to business but is made up entirely of other coffee shop owners who know exactly where you are coming from. That is what Key Holder Coaching Groups are all about. A small group of invested coffee shop owners who are dedicated to encouragement, accountability, insights, and helping each other grow. Our groups are limited 6-7 experienced cafe owners and we meet 12 times over 6 months in our Zoom sessions where we focus on member led topics that are actually relevant to the real life of a cafe owner. Each member received 2 hours of one-on-one coaching through this time and has access to our Circle community where they can keep the connection and conversation going between our calls. I would love to talk with you about how this unique group can make a difference in your life. Look below for a few testimonials of past members and click this link to apply for the Fall 2026 cohort! APPLY TO THE 2026 KHCG COHORT! Testimonials: My name is Susanna Winters and I am the owner and co -founder of Hilton Head Island Coffee Roasters. We're based out of Hilton Head, South Carolina. I've been part of Chris's key holder coaching group for I guess about five months now. And prior to that, I have participated in a few different business groups and business mentorship programs. And this coaching group has by far been the best and provided some of most value that we've received honestly in the two and a half years that we've been in business. And I think it's a combination of being paired with other business owners who are all at different places in their business. It really helps us take this big picture approach as well as get that really nitty gritty feedback, not only of what we need right now, but also what we might need a year from now. And the group that I was part of, it was honestly just so much fun and so much fun getting to know this group. Everyone provided so much value and they were honest and they were vulnerable and they were so transparent with their businesses and everyone really took that extra step to support each other, which is one of the reasons why I'm signing up to do it for another six months. But I absolutely recommend this coaching group. I think it's one the best things out there for new coffee shops, old coffee shops, anyone looking to elevate their business to the next level. -Susannah Winters/ Hilton Head Coffee Roasters For us looking back, I think we were at a point of growth that we needed to take the steps to grow, but we were wearing ourselves out and burnout was starting to set it. I feel if we didn't reach out for help with Chris we would have greatly struggled. Both during the coaching and as a result of the coaching. Working with KTTS consulting has been monumental for us as individuals and as a business. We were able to get insight and confidence in areas that we felt like we were really struggling in. We took huge steps with hiring a manager and equipping them to help lead. Chris' structure behind servant leadership really matched well with how we wanted to lead so it allowed a very cohesive development of our foundation for goals, foundations, requirements and leadership. I would HIGHLY recommend KTTS to anyone regardless if you are struggling for feeling as though you are on top of the world with your business. I feel that no matter where you are in your journey, there's always room for growth. I even believe a few years down the road and we are continuing to grow that we would do it again and learn to continue to keep growing in a healthy was as a business and staying healthy as entrepreneurs -Jessica Nguyễn Queen City and Co. I made the decision to become a part of the Key Holder Coaching Group (KHCG) primarily to establish connections with other professionals who are actively engaged in the coffee business. I have found that through coaching I have been able to improve my productivity, streamlining my operations and have a healthier life/work balance. The most beneficial aspect of the KHCG has been getting the opportunity to explore topics from multiple perspectives. I have found that even If I am not in the "Hot Seat" I am gaining valuable information that is relative to my business in some way. KHCG has proven to be a safe space for me to be vulnerable, increase my self-worth and positively adjust my mindset to get the most out of the experience. As business owners, we are, without a doubt, our most valuable asset. Investing in ourselves, stepping outside of our patterns and opening up to fellow business professionals within our field will absolutely bring fresh perspectives to solve problems and reminders to celebrate wins. You do not have to do it all or do it all alone, KHCG will be a valuable ally on your journey to success. -Sunny Cover / Peekskill Coffee Roasting Company / The Peekskill Coffeehouse

Send us Fan MailA lot to talk about this week as Charlotte celebrates its first MLS All-Star events! But first, Charlotte FC traveled to clinch an away win and clean sheet against the Red Bulls, 2-nil. Goals by All-Stars Pep Biel and Ashley Westwood were made of pure class while Kahlina and the defensive line earned only the third clean sheet on the season. Then USMNT defender Tim Ream showed his professional skill with near-deadly precision and accuracy in the 2026 MLS All-Star Skills Passing Challenge, bringing home the win and a trophy for his efforts. And finally, Ream, Biel, and Westwood earn debuts as MLS All-Stars in a match that tallies a win for Coach Dean Smith but truly showcases multiple All-Stars MLS talent in goal contributions and standout performances. Also back on topic is transfers and rumors and the performances of those who might be called on to fill in for the lack of depth.The Queens' Pitch on X@thequeenspitchclt
