079 : Interviews from Coffee Fest Baltimore: Retail tips and insights, best practice for maximum learning at events, perspectives on entrepreneurship, the importance of passion and authenticity

Hey! Coffee Fest Baltimore 2018 was fantastic and I got to visit and chat with three fantastic people for this KTTS episode. What are people looking for at an event like this? What are the things you, as a coffee retailer should be pursuing and focusing on as you go out to acquire knowledge and build your business? How can you cultivate confidence and stay motivated even though you are brand new to the industry? What does a trade show like Coffee Fest hope to offer those who make the investment to attend? All these questions and more are answered in these interviews. We get to hear about from Matt Milletto (Water Avenue Coffee & ABCS), Stephen Zimmerman (KTTS super fan and business owner at "The Coffee Enthusiast: A Brewing Company" aka:TCE) , and Coffee Fest Show Director, Erika Lowery. I love doing interviews form events like this. Be it a throw down, conference, trade show, or live from a shop. The energy and passion is just so inspiring and I hope that you feel the same way listening to this episode. Did you know Keys to the Shop now offers consultation and training for you and your cafe? It's true!
