26 - Interview with Jamie and Ryan Getchell of The Nest Family Cafe

About this episode

Gjergj Dollani interviews Jamie and Ryan Getchell about their journey in starting The Nest Family Cafe without prior coffee or business experience.

I have been thinking about doing this interview for months! Ryan and Jamie are the founders of The Nest Family Cafe in Londonderry, NH. They -- just like me -- started without having any coffee or business experience. After over a year and a half of hard work, they took the leap of faith, left the comforts of corporate behind and dove into this new adventure. We talk about how they started, the easy parts and hard parts of owning and running a business. We talk about how they run their shop, how they manage their staff, marketing, social media and how they feel about their journey as new business owners. If you are seriously thinking about running a business, listen to Ryan and Jamie and maybe this is the nudge you needed.
