200! : From Tragedy to Triumph! Navigating Change w/ Talor Browne of Talormade, Oslo, Norway

TalorBrowne is a 20 year specialty coffee veteran and pastry chef that ended up in Oslo via Paris and Melbourne. Former head roaster of Tim Wendelboe and founder of Talor&Jorgen, she is currently on the cusp of opening the first of three stores of her new roastery and doughnut shop, Talormade.

Talor was a guest on our show back in May of 2018 for Founder Friday.Talor&Jorgen was a force of nature that was massively successful and showed no signs of slowing. Not too long after our interview though, the 16 hour days and 300 hour months began to take their toll on Talor. This all culminated in her business partners trying to force her from her from the company she founded. After an ugly lawsuit, settlement, and the best interest of the employees in mind, Talor stepped away.

Now, after 7 months of preparation and planning she has the best equipment in the industry and a renewed determination to do it all over again, just bigger and so much better.

Talormade was born from the ashes of this tragedy.

So many questions…How did she do it? What was this journey like? What mistakes did she make in the first company? What is different about this new venture? What insights and advice can Talor offer us that will help us navigate unforeseen changes that we may face?

This interview answers those questions and much more.

I can think of no better way to celebrate a 200 episodes than to share this real-life inspirational coffee story with all of you.

Please listen with open hearts and minds as Talor shares her story and wisdom gained as a result.
