What's up, everybody today? I talk with Stephen Monty from ArtPresso design. ArtPresso makes

interesting barista tools that solve annoying barista problems. He helped me build and create my

dialed tamper, this project that we worked on together. It's basically my dream tamper that we

brought to life. He's done collaborations

with Jimmy Butler and Big Face Coffee doing espresso machine customizations. And as we'll talk

about today, there's a lot more in the works for ArtPresso. Stephen is, he's got such interesting

insight because even though he's in the coffee industry now, he's a designer by trade

and he spent decades in the shoe industry. He worked for the world's largest shoe company.

You fill in the blanks on that one. That's all we can say. And I love talking with him because

he's so thoughtful. The products that he creates aren't just simply widgets. They're incredibly

inspired. They're incredibly thoughtful. And they're built from a designer's perspective.

Not generic. Incredibly focused, incredibly specific. And they're just awesome. I love the stuff

that we've been working on together. I'm just going to quit blabbing, and here is Stephen Monty from ArtPresso Design.

Dude, we're back.

I know.

It's been a while.

Back in the mix.

So whenever you're here, I always want to ask you about transition from the corporate world

into the world you're in now.

And it's been how long since you started ArtPresso?

So 2016 we began and it was a side hustle.

I guess I can say this now.
