After moving back to the United States, myself and a close friend opened our own boutique roastery in NYC. These years taught me a lot and gave me a new found appreciation for all the small businesses that are out there in the coffee space, as well as other industries.
Running a small business is tough, especially in a city like New York where rents are high and margins low. It was tough going, but those were some of the best working days of my life.
