1. Tell me a little bit about Tazza Kitchen restaurant: when was it established, the number of locations, and who are the target customers?
We grew out of another concept. Our first location was launched in Richmond under the Tazza brand and that was four years ago. From there, we opened up a location in Raleigh and then in Columbia, South Carolina and another in Richmond. And then this is the most recent build out of Tazza Kitchen. We’ll be opening up our sixth location next month in Richmond.

I recently sat down and had a conversation about recruiting with someone who does nothing but recruit A-Players for a living, Ken Greenwood. Ken, a University of Vermont Law School grad, found a niche recruiting support staff for high end corporate litigators. He’s been recruiting for over 20 years. Ken echoes many of the points Eric Herrenkohl makes in How to Hire A-Players, including always form a farm team and finding a place for an A-Player if you find one. Since my business, Abundance Business Solutions, will lean heavily on recruiting I imagine this won’t be the last time I have a chat with Ken!
