He still supports Royal Cup Coffee as an advisor after he, the family, and the board decided to promote a non-family executive to lead and manage the day-to-day operations and the company’s next phase of growth.

The discussion briefly touches on the importance of what Double Iron Consulting offers to the next generation of business owners.
