008: Zayde Naquib: Bar Nine

Coffee Man Show

In today's episode of the Coffee Man Show, founder of Bar Nine, Zayde Naquib shares his story of how he came to start Bar Nine, a rare combination of roaster and cafe in Los Angeles County. Bar Nine is Zayde's first brick and mortar business and aside from freelance work in documentaries and editing during high school this is his first entrepreneurial venture. If you can't get to Bar Nine then check out the website at barninela.com and you will get a feel for the incredible attention to detail and just a little about what he means by their emphasis on simplicity. Zayde's philosophy of going for something in life that matters, regardless of the risk, is refreshing to hear. He ventures right into the ultimate and touches on the realization of our mortality as a motivating factor for doing work that matters. I'll be honest, I'm toying with what podcast Ed Barnett should pursue next. This just may be the direction I'll go. Let me know your thoughts on that.
