In the face of necessary reality checks and the inherent ups and downs of starting and running a coffee shop, there must always exist the foundational idea that “You can do this” and “It is possible”. That belief in possibility is what drives today’s guest whoI am honored to call a good friend, Michael Ryan of Threadbare Coffee Consulting.
Michael is a published author, international speaker, and Certified Business Coach. He is a Licensed Q Grader, SCA Certified Instructor, and Level 1 Wine Sommelier. He is also a Certified Health & Wellness Coach.
Michael has over 13 years of experience in the coffee industry during which he has worked everywhere from the headquarters of Starbucks to local coffee companies. He spent 8 years as the Operations Manager for a multi-location cafe + roastery that was doing $5MM+ in annual revenue.
Michael has been working with clients doing training, coaching, and consulting. His clients have included startups, importers, roasters, cafes, and companies doing all of the above.
Michael is an expert in building a healthy cafe + roastery business that takes great care of people, starting with the owner.
In our conversation we talk about Ryan’s work to help people build great businesses and what the key principles and practices are to achieve success and fulfillment in the process.

Key Holder Coaching Group is launching in September!
🔑 Key Holder Coaching Groups will be hosted by myself and consist of a curated group of 5 coffee shop owners.
🔑 We will meet together 2x per month for 2 hours over a 6 month period.
🔑 This structured group will allow each member to have multiple hot seat opportunities to present specific issues to the group and gain insight, feedback and direction to help them develop themselves, their people, and their business.
🔑 In addition we will be consistently updated on each others progress and have opportunity to speak into each others lives.
🔑 Key Holder Coaching members will have access to each other via the Signal app as well.
I am very excited to begin what I believe will be the first of many groups!
