Show Notes
As we continue our focus series on the COVID-19 crisis and it's impact on specialty coffee, we get talk someone who has been leading the charge for business agility, staff/customer safety, and creating systems to support it all. Maxwell Mooney is the Owner of the award winning shop, Narrative Coffee in Everette, WA. A past guest on the show, Maxwell consistently brings a clear, level headed, and well thought through perspective to the table. What I enjoy most about Maxwell and his leadership is the integrity that drives what he does and allows him to make tough calls.
In this conversation we will be discussing, from beginning to present day, how the crisis unfolded for him and his team. Among other things we will cover:
- Not joining the "Cult of hustle"
- Creating and executing plans
- Hospitality in every context
- Making tough calls for safety
- Managing emotional impact on staff
- Leading in the midst of exhaustion and hard life circumstances
