When we started our company, we'd often be faced with problems we'd just have to figure out ourselves, mainly because there wasn't a central online resource that went really deep in helping us with the nitty-gritty of starting and running a coffee company. So we built out or brand new online platform, the Valor Coffee Community, where you can find a community of other baristas, leaders, and cafe/roastery owners in the community who are ready to help you on your journey. Featuring chat channels and threads, resources like spreadsheets and pdf's to help you grow and run your business, and courses dedicated to expanding your knowledge on coffee, finances and more, you're sure to find plenty to help you on your journey.

This week Riley and Ross chop up something we here from sooooo many wholesale partners: "Yeah, we'll probably eventually start roasting..." As a company who has taken this path, we feel it's our duty to tell of the downsides we've faced in our years running a Roasting and Wholesale operation. It isn't as simple as some make it out to be that roasting will simply "save money on coffee costs" and we dive into why that's the case. We'll be following up with an episode on why it IS a good idea to roast your own coffee, so stay tuned!

Little Wolf coffee is one of Valor's favorite roasters, so we had a ton of fun sitting down with co-founder Melissa Bartz and hearing more about the company. We had the pleasure of visiting their cafe-roastery in Ipswich, MA In 2021 and it, along with Melissa and team's excellent service and coffee, was a dang treat. Little Wolf just opened their new cafe and is constantly pushing the industry forward with amazing bean. Big thanks to Melissa for chatting with us!

Unblended is, simply put, one of our favorite companies in the business. Lucas and his team are focused on fixing root issues within the supply chain, including introducing younger producers to the coffee industry and building brands around producers hard work. Unblended focuses energy on this, along with some of the most excellent coffees we've ever had, including experimental processes like the Orange Washed offering featured on our menu recently. Thanks to Lucas and Barry for hanging out, this was one of our favorite episodes to date. Enjoy!

This week we discuss how owners/bosses can creates a place for employees to feel heard and for ideas to lead to growth and change.
