Erin Young, the owner of Red Buffalo Coffee and Tea, first opened her coffee shop as a community gathering place, somewhere locals could call theirs. Her “one-horse-pony-show” entrepreneurial adventure has been full of highs and lows, trials and errors for over a decade. Erin is a dynamic community leader that has written a chronicle to speak to the challenges and successes of running a small business in Summit County.
Her book, The CEOwner, approaches business ownership using the lens of conscious business techniques and community improvement. It covers the process of building and planning your business profile from the beginning, moving along to suggestions in ethical business management, and finishing with how to create a legacy beyond you as a business owner.
