In this episode, we sit down with Skylar Grayson, owner of Rugged Coffee LLC, to talk about risk, resilience, and building something meaningful from the ground up.

With over 18 years in the coffee industry and a background that includes national competition and international training, Skylar shares how a life-altering motorcycle crash redirected his path—and ultimately led him to entrepreneurship.

We dive into:

• Leaving the 9–5 to build a coffee catering business
• Competing on the national coffee stage
• Why Eastvale became home for Rugged Coffee
• The real challenges of running a mobile coffee business
• How community, faith, and the Chamber play a role in long-term growth

This episode is a powerful reminder that success isn’t always a straight line—and that local community support can make all the difference.
