Who needs a coffee?  Well grab a cup of your favorite coffee and join me and my conversation with expert coffee curator, and co-owner at Blue Coffee Box and Blue Tea Box, Jon Butt!

Jon and his son Harvey started Blue Coffee Box around 3 and a half years ago.  You might also remember and recognize Jon from episode 100, where he and 7 other entrepreneurs took part of an international panel.

Jon started as a door-to-door salesman selling fire extinguishers on commission-only at 18. He sold it in 2003 and decided to dabble in internet marketing. Jon's new online fire safety ecommerce business generated $1 million in the first 12 months and is still growing today.

Jon started the Blue Coffee Box subscription with his son Harvey. It worked and Blue Tea Box was added a while later. They currently prep, pack and post over 400 boxes a day from Canterbury in England.

There’s no shortage of great quotes and one liners from Jon during our conversation on this episode.  But Jon’s knowledge and depth of not only subscriptions, but business in general runs deep.  Jon is a multi business entrepreneur and has a ton of experience that he shares with us that will no doubt help you grow your business.  Jon shares how to gain some FREE SEO traction, tips on organic and paid growth, and how they at Blue Coffee Box scaled and spent money on hiring and other costly investments!
