I’m excited to debut a new interview format that I plan to bring you periodically throughout the year. Many of you have reached out to me asking for updates on previous guests. There has also been tremendous interest in hearing from small business owners with respect to current events and topics. So, I decided to sit down with several of our very own podcast alumni to get their take on what’s happening out there. In this first small business roundtable discussion, Matt Marietti, owner of de Fer Coffee and Tea, Fiore Moletz, co-owner of Burgh’ers Brewing, and John Vella, owner of The John Vella Salon, are back on the show. We talk about what’s going on in their businesses, what they’ve been working on, what their thoughts are on the latest issues facing their industries and the local economy, and much more. Please enjoy this dynamic conversation, and let me know who you’d like to hear from the next time that I do another small business roundtable episode.If you have any questions or if you’d like to chat, you can reach me at my contact info below. The purpose of this podcast is to share ideas, inspire action, and build a stronger small business community here in Pittsburgh. So, please say hello, tell me what you think, and let me know how I’m doing.

Small Business Roundtable Discussion | Matt Marietti, John Vella, and Fiore Moletz

During their time living abroad, Matt and Vanessa Marietti fell in love with European café culture. Inspired by a desire to combine good food and drink with a welcoming gathering space, they launched Atelier de Fer at the end of 2017. Matt knew that roasting his own coffee was going to be central to his concept, so he began learning and perfecting his roasting technique in the year leading up to opening the doors to his café. Today, Matt, Vanessa, and the rest of their team operate a growing and thriving business in the heart of Pittsburgh’s Strip District. In a short time, it’s become a mainstay and favorite among foodies and coffee aficionados alike. In this episode, Matt and I discussed the origins of the concept, how he learned to roast coffee, and the role his formal education and corporate career played in how he runs the business today. After listening to Matt, it’s clear just how important people and communication are to his company and his success.If you have any questions or if you’d like to chat, you can reach me at my contact info below.
