In this episode, we dive deep with Elijah Knapp, a seasoned coffee professional, former Valor Pit Crew Member, current owner of Elliott Coffee in Dayton, Kentucky, and one of our dear friends. We chat about the journey of opening a cafe on a budget, the challenges of managing a skinny buildout budget, and the lessons learned along the way. Elijah shares insights into the local community, the importance of authenticity in building a business, and the role of hospitality in creating a memorable customer experience. Tune in to hear about the balancing act of running a small business, creating genuine connections, and the creative ways to stretch a budget without sacrificing quality. Whether you’re a coffee enthusiast, aspiring cafe owner, or just love a good entrepreneurial story, this episode is packed with valuable takeaways.
