Today we’d like to introduce you to Madison Peterson
Hi Madison, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Coffee has always been a profound connector in our lives, a steadfast companion through every moment, regardless of what it brings. Whether shared during joyous gatherings or intimate conversations, coffee has an extraordinary ability to warm our hearts. It is a source of comfort during difficult times and a catalyst for meaningful connections, adapting beautifully to the rhythm of our lives.
My love for coffee runs deep, intertwined with a rich culture that celebrates camaraderie, passion, and the vulnerability inherent in the art of brewing. I cherish the vibrant community that emerges around diverse brew methods, unique roasts, and the simple joy of sharing a cup. Over the years, I have witnessed the evolution of coffee and am excited about its endless possibilities.
Seven years ago, an image of a coffee cart sparked a vision within me, igniting a dream I hadn’t yet fully realized. Though the journey to bring that vision to life took longer than I anticipated—six years, to be exact—here I stand, proud to introduce AG Coffee Collective, my mobile craft coffee cart.
The road to this moment was not without its challenges. Leaving a ten-year marriage to create a safe and nurturing environment for my children transformed my life. As a single mother, I focused on building stability for my family, all while holding onto the dream of my coffee cart. With valuable experience gained from my time at Buon Giorno Coffee and later as a manager at Sons Coffee in Downtown Fort Worth, I immersed myself in the coffee world, honing my skills in both the business and creative aspects of the craft.
As I navigated various roles, I realized that I could no longer let hesitation hold me back. It was time to embrace my dream, and thus, AG Coffee Collective was born. In November 2023, I proudly established my LLC, and within a year, I booked my first event.
With nearly seven years of experience and a genuine passion for the coffee community, I am thrilled to share my journey. As a proud owner of a coffee cart company, I also offer consulting services to local shops, assisting with brand identity, operational flow, inventory management, budgeting, brewing techniques, coffee sourcing, and more. My mission is to foster connections through coffee, creating warmth and joy in every cup I serve.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The journey to establishing my LLC and booking my first client was far from easy. Financing posed significant challenges, but I was fortunate to find exceptional business partners in Olive Coffee Cart Company. Their experience in building a successful coffee cart business from the ground up has been invaluable, providing me with the guidance and support I needed to turn my dream into a reality.
Having a strong support system has been crucial in navigating the complexities of entrepreneurship. It has empowered me to make informed business decisions and remain resilient through the ups and downs. As a single mother, the path of business ownership came with its own set of challenges, yet I have been able to overcome them by cultivating a healthy network of family, friends, and partnerships. This support has been instrumental in helping me persevere and thrive as I embark on this exciting journey with AG Coffee Collective.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
At AG Coffee Collective, I specialize in creating unforgettable coffee experiences through my mobile craft coffee cart. My passion lies not only in serving high-quality brews but also in fostering connections within the community. I am known for my commitment to excellence, whether it’s through expertly crafted beverages or engaging customer interactions that transform each cup of coffee into a cherished moment.
What I’m most proud of is the journey that led me here. Building AG Coffee Collective was a labor of love, fueled by determination and supported by invaluable partnerships, particularly with Olive Coffee Cart Company. Their mentorship has been instrumental in helping me navigate the complexities of entrepreneurship, and I take pride in the community I’ve cultivated around my business.
What sets me apart is my holistic approach to coffee. I not only serve delicious drinks but also offer consulting services to local coffee shops, helping them enhance their brand identity, operational efficiency, and customer experience. This dual focus on quality service and community support allows me to contribute meaningfully to the coffee culture while nurturing aspiring coffee entrepreneurs. My experience as a single mother has also shaped my perspective, instilling resilience and creativity in my work, and reminding me of the importance of connection and support in all that I do.
How do you think about happiness?
Being with my partner and my children fills my heart with immense joy. One of the primary motivations for starting my own business was the autonomy it offers, allowing me to be more present in my children’s lives and a more attentive partner and friend. I am deeply passionate about people—especially those I hold dear. The relationships I cultivate bring me profound happiness, and I am committed to prioritizing the well-being of those around me. By building AG Coffee Collective, I not only pursue my dreams but also create space for the connections that enrich my life and the lives of my loved ones.
