The second episode of our down south series features Alex, the owner of Yahava KoffeeWorks in Margaret River. Alex hails from Naples in Italy and if you don't pick up on how intertwined his heritage and cultural upbringing is in his business ethos and mindset, you're simply not listening closely enough.

A brand most Western Australians know well, Yahava may be associated with your trip down to Margs or a weekend up in Swan Valley. Either way, it's intriguing to hear the tales of its beginnings and the ethos of how they hire staff and keep a team of thriving baristas.

This conversation was recorded in the back office of the Margaret River Yahava KoffeeWorks with a fan on in the background so audio quality may be different to what you're used to hearing on the podcast.
