We interview Robert W. Thurston, co-author and senior editor of Coffee: A Comprehensive Guide to the Bean, the Beverage, and the Industry

Why maybe you should NOT start a food business... It's not for everyone. We cover:

*Difficulties in economy of scale (for packaging product AND logistics)
*Startup capital and Kickstarter
*Food sanitation, permits, etc
*Comparison to businesses with more control and less startup capital: digital products/apps, non-perishable imports (i.e: iPhone cases)
*Special bonus: how to get free flights

We interview Daniel Velasquez, who brings his family's coffee from Colombia and sells it in the United States.

Daniel shares his story with us. As you will learn, selling specialty coffee is all about telling a story.

Our Food Startups Success Spotlight. We chose two INC 5000 food companies and did a quick analysis of each. It involves antelope and American Gladiators so don't miss it!!
