Join in for a conversation with Alex Castellani, Co-owner of Boxcar Social and veteran coffee professional. Boxcar Social is a cafe and bar with 4 locations in Toronto and 1 in Halifax and one of my go to places for some light acidic coffee. Alex got degrees in business and philosophy but instead of embarking on the path of an academic, he would make coffee his career through some fateful encounters from living in Vancouver to taking a break from school. We talk about his journey of building and growing Boxcar Social with his three partners, the state of coffee in Canada, the coffee value chain and more! We touch upon the tactical and philosophical in the world of coffee, food and entrepreneurship.
