Brie Thomason is the co-owner of Brie'sta Coffee in Mountain Home, ID. She always enjoyed coffee since working as a barista and one day her husband, Kasey, suggested Brie should chase her dream and open a coffee shop. The rest, as they say, is history. Now they have two locations and are working on opening a third. Listen to how Brie stuck it out through the first few months of working crazy long hours every day to make her dream a success. Also, Brie and Kasey started a YouTube channel called The Funtrepreneurs to help other beginning coffee shop owners build successful coffee shops, so go check them out!

Also, she's offering a special discount to you, my listeners, to try their coffee. Use the promo code BARISTATALK to get 20% off your order. Support a small business and try new, delicious coffee!
