We all have that idea that would be fun “someday.” We throw it out as a joke over a glass of wine with friends or on a road trip. We laugh and say, “wouldn’t it be fun to launch that *insert random business idea here*?”
Well, Funk It Coffee and Thrift is one of those ideas that actually went from dream to reality! Markie Russell is on the show today to chat about how she and her best friend actually took the leap and launched Funk It Coffee and Thrift.
In this episode:

• Why the “don’t work with friends” rule isn’t always correct
• How they were able to get business loans, oversee the construction process, and hire an amazing team without prior experience
• How “fun” is a core principle of the business and how they ensure that comes through in everything they do
• The reality of running a business like this and advice for anyone ready to make their random idea a reality too
