Valor Coffee Podcast

This week we are joined by some of our very best friends in the coffee industry. Joel and Charles Norman are two of the mot genuine guys we know, and their company, Bellwood, shares many of the values that Valor holds dear. We talk Gen Z slang, Bellwood's story, what it's like running a business with your brother, barista wages and some roasting philosophy. We had a TON of fun with this one and hope you love it!

We are constantly being asked about the in's and out's of starting a coffee cart by aspiring entrepreneurs near and far. Questions from Do I need an LLC? to What espresso machine do I need? and How much money does it cost? just begin the list. We sit down for a couple hours to talk about how we did it plus answer some of our most common questions.
