On today’s episode of the Actually Good Coffee Podcast, John breaks down the three biggest lessons he learned during his third year owning a coffee roasting business — a year that forced a complete reset. Between historically high coffee prices, becoming a first-time parent, and the unsustainable grind culture glorified by entrepreneurs, year three exposed what really matters when you want to build a business that lasts. In this episode, John covers: How to become more effective with your time without working more hours Why standard operating procedures are the difference between freedom and burnout How adopting an always-learning mindset keeps you from stagnating as a business owner This was the year the 100-hour workweek mentality stopped making sense — and a healthier, more sustainable relationship with work took its place. John also covers last years lessons to see if they still hold up today.
