How To Turn Your Passion Into A Business...

Ali Abdaal
About this episode

Many of us dream about turning our passion or hobby into the thing we do everyday, but very few of us actually do it. In this episode I talk to World Barista Champion and co-founder of Square Mile Coffee Roasters James Hoffmann about how he had the confidence to make a career out of coffee. Expect to hear how he built a bricks and mortar business from scratch, his regrets about hustling and burnout, and how he’s amassed a YouTube following of 1.23M subscribers.
