Mark Crotti is in the building! Mark Crotti is a singer, songwriter and lover of breakfast. He began the clothing brand Breakfast Shirts in 2017 after searching for outrageous prints to wear while eating poached eggs.  Breakfast Shirts are making ugly cool— their garish designs support small businesses, cafes, and the arts across Australia.  Mark shares his small business journey; everything from content creation, his top cafes, and inviting Abbie Chatfield out to breakfast. We discuss the Breakfast Shirts Cafe Tour, Mark’s avoidance of big brands, and his unwavering commitment to being himself.  Oh, and Business Kirk is here. To talk business. Of course. We talk about pitching to Vegemite, fantasy football for cafes and a portable coffee machine that’s built into your suitcase.  In coffee news: NanoTemper have developed a machine that brews coffee six times stronger than espresso. Meanwhile, its BYO Barista to the Paris Olympics, and Australia has announced a 3.75% increase to the minimum wage. One more thing … no more crookies or novelty pastries !! If you're new here (welcome), our show dives into some of the best coffee conversations on the internet, but we will always remind ourselves at the end of the day; It's Just Coffee! Thank you, Mark, for joining the show! (Petition for him to take Schapelle Corby out for breakfast next?) Find Mark Crotti at: @breakfastshirtss  @markcrotti  https://breakfastshirts.com/ .
