Coffee and manufacturing, how does it tie together? Well... there's nothing worse than walking into the shop at 5am and having a crappy cup of coffee to start your day. It's one of the easiest ways to reinvest in your employees, and give them the necessary boost to increase productivity.

Amy Teal joins us to talk about the struggles of labor in the manufacturing sector, and how she's attempting to transform the industry.

Just a year and a half ago, Amy and her partner Mike started ShopFloor Coffee. Their mission is to provide premium coffee to industrial workers. What differentiates them is that 20% of proceeds funds workforce development for the next generation.

Manufacturing is the heartbeat of America, and it's often overlooked by 4 year college degrees and desk jobs. What can we do to help flip the conversation and educate the younger generation about these career opportunities? It's easy! Support ShopFloor Coffee by enjoying their bold, and exciting flavors, while they support businesses and invest in the future of manufacturing.

You've seen the news talking about changes in tariffs for weeks. Nobody has the answers, including us. That's why we brought on Pino Bacinello - our neighbor of the north.

Pino and Chris dig into tariffs and what's really going on. It's affecting businesses of all kinds, and can have a massive impact on owners, and consumers.

If you have more insight as to what's going on, and want to share your thoughts, contact our hosts.
