Thanks for listening, following/subscribing, giving us a good review, and sharing with your friends on social media. It goes a long way!

We’ve worked in coffee shops, started a coffee cart, and now run multiple cafes, a roasting operation, and a growing wholesale and catering program. Along the way, we’ve learned a huge lesson: burnout often doesn’t come from working too much—it comes from being disorganized. In this episode, we break down the systems we use to manage our time, execute on ideas, and help our team avoid stress and inefficiency. We talk about how transitioning from barista to owner or operator brings new challenges and how tools like Notion, task prioritization, and long-term thinking can make all the difference.
