Presenting Coffee Talk: a weekly roundtable led by the city's best doers curated by Presence Agency.

Every Wednesday at 1pm we'll be sipping Stumptown Coffee in the lobby while we chat with some of our favorite people in town about what they're doing.

Our next installment features Jim Snediker and Tim Tierney from Stock Mfg. Co.. Jim and Tim will discuss the importance of allowing your business to evolve, and understanding how to know when you should stick to the plan, and when you should make the hard decision to change directions.
