Grow or Go

By: Chris Jones and Matt Silasiri
  • Summary

  • We talk about Surfing the Sigmoid Curve. Or in other words: how everything, and everyone will experience inception, growth, maturity, and finally decline. But how do businesses, products, or people continue to grow both personally and professionally? We interview founders, business owners, professionals, and growth-minded individuals who have found success. And they share how they made it happen. We have 1 rule. Don't. Be. Boring. Hosted by Chris Jones, CEO, and co-owner of the largest business brokerage firm in the US, and Matt Silasiri, VP of Business Development. https://www.tnma.com

  • Ep. 14 - Coffee as a Catalyst - Investing in the Younger Manufacturing Workforce - Amy Teal
    May 8 2025

    Coffee and manufacturing, how does it tie together? Well... there's nothing worse than walking into the shop at 5am and having a crappy cup of coffee to start your day. It's one of the easiest ways to reinvest in your employees, and give them the necessary boost to increase productivity.

    Amy Teal joins us to talk about the struggles of labor in the manufacturing sector, and how she's attempting to transform the industry.

    Just a year and a half ago, Amy and her partner Mike started ShopFloor Coffee. Their mission is to provide premium coffee to industrial workers. What differentiates them is that 20% of proceeds funds workforce development for the next generation.

    Manufacturing is the heartbeat of America, and it's often overlooked by 4 year college degrees and desk jobs. What can we do to help flip the conversation and educate the younger generation about these career opportunities? It's easy! Support ShopFloor Coffee by enjoying their bold, and exciting flavors, while they support businesses and invest in the future of manufacturing.
