IntroductionPicture this: a dusty binder on a shelf, three inches thick, filled with charts and projections that were obsolete the moment they were printed.

His new pop-up cart, “Artisan Bloom Coffee,” parked on the sunny side of Maple Street, was the culmination of this belief—a testament to a decade spent as a journeyman barista, honing his craft in
