The Story of 7North is the the story of Doug York, an Exeter, NH native who opened a coffee shop during a pandemic. Doug had never owned a business prior to the conception of 7North Coffee Company, and he had never worked as a barista. But 7North is open today and thriving. How did he pull it off? Listen to this heartfelt and inspiring podcast miniseries to find out.

You will be guided by a humorous and high-energy narrator. You will hear voice memos that Doug recorded throughout his journey, interviews with key players, and candid conversations with Doug himself, and those closest to him, about what it takes to open and run a business.

We get to hear her side of the story, finally, in a revealing and candid conversation about what it's like to share a life with someone as driven, motivated, and determined as Doug York.
