Graeme and I share a long history, and I've been eager to have him on the Podcast for quite some time. His passion for family, business, and community is evident in his energy and drive. Our warm and engaging conversation touched on various topics, including his support for the Palestinian people and his entrepreneurial journey. Graeme has a sharp sense of the business and understands the hard work it takes to build something from the ground up. We reminisced about his beginnings and the journey to opening his second café, Finegan & Son, which offers a distinctly different atmosphere compared to his first. We also touched on one of my favourite aspects of his first café, Grounded, which embraced a late-night coffee culture. They used to stay open until midnight (now until 11pm), a rarity in the specialty coffee scene. Graeme’s entrepreneurial spirit and dedication have significantly enriched Newry and its surroundings. At one point, I considered calling this episode “Doing the Dishes,” reflecting both the ‘initiation ritual’ for his customers and Graeme’s belief in never asking someone to do something he wouldn’t do himself. I enjoyed hearing Graeme speak about the freshness of the beans, the importance of good water, the passion of his staff, and the appreciation of his customers. Though Graeme didn’t choose a tune himself, I’d suggest that The Best Day Of My Life, by American Authors captures the essence of his journey. Thanks for listening to the latest episode, I really appreciate all the support shown so far. A little update on the schedule for the podcasts. Originally I was aiming to release an episode every week. At the moment, the schedule is more like every two to three weeks - but if you subscribe wherever you listen, you’ll be notified every time a new episode drops, and if you have any suggestions, or comments, or to nominate a local coffee shop or barista, just get in touch.
