We had the good fortune of connecting with JOSHUA LANGENHEIM and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi JOSHUA, alright, let’s jump in with a deep one – what’s you’re definition for success?
Success can be defined as many things depending on the context. Since this article is about small business I will outline my definition of success based around that topic.

Success – When those that work for you / with you feel comfortable and confident In their daily tasks. When your employees leave a shift feeling appreciated and needed. Success and “CULTURE” is one in the same in my organization. A proper culture will create happy employees, happy employees will create happy customers, happy customers will increase the business allowing for you to properly take care of your staff…. SUCCESS!!

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I never really fit the mold… I always had my own ideas about how things should work and be done, these ideas were rarely met with open arms when I was the employee. I feel as though I am a born entrepreneur that was lucky enough to find the correct path at the age of 27. I feel like I am always sprinting with tons of ideas in tow. I have surrounded myself with dreamers and big thinkers, together we fuel this creative machine that has output what you now know as StoneFruit Coffee and Steel Valley Brew Works. Soon you will see our new concept StoneFruit Social in Ann Arbor Michigan (fusion of our coffee and liquor).

Love what you do and you never feel like you truly ever work a day in your life.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Mill creek park, and all locally owned restaurants!! So many wonderful spots to check out!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I am one singular person and without the time / energy / dedication of my ENTIRE TEAM I would not be here. To all of the StoneFruit Coffee Company & Steel Valley Brew Works employees I say THANK YOU!!! Last but certainly not lease I must thank my wonderful wife, Hunter our General Manager, she is crucial to our daily operations.
