Today's guest is Christian Adams, co-owner of The Local Cup Coffee Company. I was very excited to chat with Christian about the story behind Local Cup as it has quickly become a staple for my family and I. We chat about all things coffee, the timely addition of a "coffee truck," community and working at Starbucks. The Local CupInstagramCoffee Truck
