Taking what you have learned over many years of working in coffee and creating your own roasting and cafe business is no easy task. It requires a strong enough "why" and a vision for the people that the roastery and shop wil serve. Cody Gordon did just that with the founding of Cerberus Coffee in Jacksonville, Oregon.  In this conversation Cody and I discuss the journey taken from barista, manager, wholesale manager, and finally roaster and owner. We talk especially about the recent scaling of Cerberus, and the impact it has on how Cody and the team can serve their community and make a difference through community, good business, and great coffee.  Links: www.cerberuscoffeeco.com https://cerberuscoffeeco.com/pages/the-wizard-cat-project IG: @cerberuscoffeeco   Related episodes: RoR #6: Buying Less and Doing More w/ Ever Meister RoR #5: Time and Color in Roasting w/ Morten Munchow of Coffee Mind” 361: Managing Roastery Relationships and Logistics w/ Corey Turner of Andytown Coffee Roasters Subscribe to Roast Magazine! https://www.roastmagazine.com/subscribe Visit www.roastertools.com for a free e-book and the best software to help you run a roastery!
