39. Company Culture as Your Competitive Edge w/ Dutch Bros. Coffee

Customer experience is a moment that is created between two individuals, where a desire meets a craft. Not everyone gets it right every time, but it’s an opportunity to create a moment with another human being as a stimulation for a long-term relationship.

Lance Risser, VP of Southwest Field Operations and Levi Ayriss, VP of Northwest Field Operations at Dutch Bros. Coffee, came on this episode of The Customer Experience podcast to walk us through how to meet customers where they’re at in life and keep your core while expanding rapidly.

What we talked about:
