Having a reason why you exist is important. Those values help you make decisions on what to do and how to them. It’s easy to skip this part and get right to business, but the shortcut isn’t worth it in the long run.
In this episode we discuss what sustainable and ethical business practices mean to him, how he formed a partnership that works, and the details that go into branding a physical space.
Marco reads a lot. I like that too. We have links to all the books in the show notes as well as links to Marco and Methodical Coffee.
On a personal note, if this podcast helps you in any way, do you mind telling a friend? Your help would mean the world to me!
