In this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with Anu Menon, the brains behind DriftAway Coffee—a coffee subscription service loved by many. Anu shared her journey from digital marketing to starting her own coffee venture, fueled by her passion for coffee and a desire to create something real.

Anu walked us through the challenges she faced and how she tested her business idea step by step. From getting feedback from friends and family to growing her customer base, she showed us the power of starting small and listening to what customers want.

We dived into the world of subscription models, fresh product delivery, and growth strategies. Anu spilled the beans on engaging with influencers, getting noticed in search engines, and getting press coverage.

Anu's story is not just about coffee—it's a lesson in perseverance and smart business tactics that any entrepreneur can learn from.
