We dig into the <u>abundance vs scarcity mindset</u> divide that is currently splitting the coffee industry. We also talk through how post shift debriefs work day to day, why boundaries have swung too far in the industry&#39;s comments, and why an owner being the highest paid person on the team isn&#39;t automatically a red flag. It&#39;s not a takedown of anyone who disagrees, just an honest look at why the same message lands differently for different people. In our mind, abundance mindset wins every time.</p><p><br></p><p>*If you purchase something through one of our links, we may be entitled to a share of the sale*</p><p><strong>A very special thank you to our incredible sponsors!</strong></p><p><strong>Heyday Coffee Accounting </strong>— bookkeeping built for cafes, carts, and roasters!</p><p>Get 10% off your first 3 months: <a href="https://heyday.cpa/valor?utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=ep176" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://heyday.cpa/valor?utm_source=youtube&amp;utm_campaign=ep176</a></p><p><strong>Local Eyes Growth</strong> — the SEO team behind Valor&#39;s catering growth. </p><p>Get 20% off any plan: <a href="https://localeyesgrowth.com/valor?utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=ep176" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://localeyesgrowth.com/valor?utm_source=youtube&amp;utm_campaign=ep176</a><strong></strong></p><p><strong>Buy Valor Coffee:</strong> <a href="https://valor.coffee/shop?utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=ep176" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://valor.coffee/shop?utm_source=youtube&amp;utm_campaign=ep176</a><strong></strong></p><p><strong>Want to become a Wholesale Partner?</strong> Email us at wholesale@valor.coffee to set up an account!</p><p><strong>Want to send us coffee?</strong> Have a question you want to answer on the show?
