I was fortunate enough to interview Rick and Randy Evans, founders of Evans Brothers Coffee, during my trip to Sandpoint, Idaho. I decided to bring my podcast equipment with the feeling I would find someone interesting to interview. I ended up finding two brothers who perfectly fit what the Unbeaten Path is all about.

Rick and Randy started the business in the summer of 2009. They developed their vision over long rides on Chair 6, skiing at Schweitzer Mountain Resort. They wanted to bring a new experience around coffee to the region, to create deep connections throughout the supply chain, and to bring value to the communities where they work. Learn how the brothers have built a successful wholesale operation along with cafes in Sandpoint and a recent expansion into Coeur d'Alene, and winning national awards along the way. Possibly the most compelling part of their story is how they have been able to maintain the lifestyle they originally moved to Sandpoint for, and you will learn about things like their “powder clause” that helps them do just that.  

On Today’s episode Randy, Rick and I discuss:

  • Coming up with their business idea riding the chairlift throughout the season
  • Starting the coffee business with young families and betting on themselves
  • Overcoming the tough times building the business
  • Finding the balance between your personal and business life
