Check out this video featuring Tommy Thwaites, co-founder of MHBA member Coda Coffee. He describes how he translated his passion for coffee into his wholesale coffee business.

You can find Coda Coffee to drink at lots of local coffeehouses. Some of my favorites? Pajama Baking Co. on Old South Pearl St, and Blackberries at Five Points. Give it a try!

In this video, Michael H. Shuman, attorney, economist, and author of several books, discusses the economic and community benefit from local businesses.
