"I know that when I started Brewpoint Coffee I had so many questions and felt completely ill-equipped to take on such a big endeavor. But at the end of the day, going from dreaming about opening a coffee shop to actually owning one just takes one big, daring terrifying leap (and of course, a bajillon tiny steps after that). With everything I have learned, I hope to demystify that first big step so that we have more creative thoughtful entrepreneurs out there in the world."
