Raphael Perrier, co-founder of Kahwa Coffee Roasters, reveals to host, Owen LaFave, why a business’ brand is its most vital asset–even if building a brand customers recognize is far from easy. Hear how Raphael and his wife Sarah launched Kahwa in a humble 3,000 square-foot warehouse and now operate out of a 20,000 square-foot facility, growing their retail locations and franchise to become the largest independent coffee roaster in Florida. Learn how Raphael finds employees he can trust to create a rapidly expanding business that stays consistent, from each cup of coffee to every franchise partner. Raphael spills the beans on what it’s like running a business with your spouse and shares why he thinks the best leaders own their mistakes. And before your coffee gets cold, discover why Raphael thinks the unique flavor of the Tampa Bay region makes it one of the best communities to take risks in as an entrepreneur.
