Our Newest Episode - Making A Franchise Your Own With BlueTick Coffee
In this episode of the Making Sense of Money podcast, we sit down with Myriam and Hayden, owners of BlueTick Coffee, to talk about turning a longtime dream into a local business, the challenges of entrepreneurship, and the importance of building something with purpose. Myriam and Hayden share the journey that led them to BlueTick Coffee, from their previous careers to taking a leap of faith and opening their own location in the Lewis-Clark Valley.
Together, they discuss what makes BlueTick Coffee unique, including its locally roasted, USDA-organic coffee, its commitment to customer service, and its focus on creating meaningful connections within the community. Myriam also shares the personal meaning behind BlueTick's "You Matter" message and how they are using their business to support important causes, partner with local organizations, and remind customers that even a small interaction can make a difference.
They also take us behind the scenes of opening a small business, from finding the right location and navigating permits to building strong partnerships and managing unexpected expenses. Myriam and Hayden share the lessons they learned along the way, why perseverance was so important throughout the process, and their advice for others considering taking the leap into entrepreneurship.
Whether you're a coffee lover, aspiring business owner, or someone who enjoys supporting local businesses, this episode is a great reminder of what can happen when passion, persistence, and community come together.
