In Great Leaps, Colin Flahive explores China's rural-urban migration against the backdrop of his own transition from Colorado to southwest China. There he partnered with three friends to open a café that became much more than simply an outpost of Western cuisine in a far-flung corner of the world. Over the course of a decade, Salvador's Coffee House became home to more than 50 young women from mountain villages in the surrounding countryside. Most knew nothing about coffee or Western food, but they moved to the city to work at Salvador's and earn their independence.

Great listen! Full of hope, humor, and heartache
Revisado: 03-02-25
This is the inspiring TRUE story of how an all American kid from Colorado found his American dream in the wild southwest of China. Navigating an unconventional path of adventure, love, success, failure, trauma, and rebirth, Colin maps the challenges of not only the tediousness nature of doing business in China, but also the broad the challenges of being an entrepreneur, all the while sprinkling his narrative with humorous anecdotes and historical context.
His story also includes lessons on how to overcome the all-too-common betrayal of Chinese landlords, reaching compromise with combative business partners, and living with the long lasting trauma of being the victim of a terrorist bombing gone awry.
Great Leaps is a story of inspiration and resilience, hope and heartache, and proof that guts and determination can still make a good idea flourish.
