Today on Founder Friday we are talking with Linda Thach, the founder of Little Skips in Brooklyn, NYC!  Having come to the states as a Cambodian refugee with nothing, the comfort of food and family played a foundational role in setting the values that drive Linda today. Little Skips is a communal, artistic, accessible, and fun coffee experience that seeks to create happiness in everyone. Since it's founding in 2009 it has quickly become a Bushwick institution. Now with 3 shops and 1 restaurant, Linda has been able to learn a lot through the peaks and valleys that inevitably happen when running a business and explores much of that for us here today. I am thrilled to present this conversation to you because I believe Linda offers a critical message to owners that will help bring the clarity, freedom, and focus that is often sought but not found.  In this episode we will learn about: How and why Little Skips came to be What lessons were learned early on Philosophy on partnerships Systems that provide freedom Communication  Self care as a priority Overcoming problems outside our control Reflection vs Rumination  The unique culture of an individual store   Links: www.littleskips.nyc Little Skips Instagram      The BEST in commercial coffee equipment www.prima-coffee.com/keys   Want the best plant based beverage for your coffee drinks?  www.pacificfoods.com/food-service
