209 : Founder Friday! w/ Linda Thach of Little Skips, Brooklyn, NY

Today on Founder Friday we are talking with Linda Thach, the founder of Little Skips in Brooklyn, NYC!  Having come to the states as a Cambodian refugee with nothing, the comfort of food and family played a foundational role in setting the values that drive Linda today. Little Skips is a communal, artistic, accessible, and fun coffee experience that seeks to create happiness in everyone. Since it's founding in 2009 it has quickly become a Bushwick institution. Now with 3 shops and 1 restaurant, Linda has been able to learn a lot through the peaks and valleys that inevitably happen when running a business and explores much of that for us here today. I am thrilled to present this conversation to you because I believe Linda offers a critical message to owners that will help bring the clarity, freedom, and focus that is often sought but not found.  In this episode we will learn about: How and why Little Skips came to be What lessons were learned early on Philosophy on partnerships Systems that provide freedom Communication  Self care as a priority Overcoming problems outside our control Reflection vs Rumination  The unique culture of an individual store   Links: www.littleskips.nyc Little Skips Instagram      The BEST in commercial coffee equipment www.prima-coffee.com/keys   Want the best plant based beverage for your coffee drinks?  www.pacificfoods.com/food-service
