00:00Brian Nicola is officially swapping carnitas for cappuccinos as he starts his first day as Starbucks' new CEO.
00:06I probably have, let's see, three or four cups of coffee, you know, one or two in the morning and then one or two in the afternoon. Always hot.
00:15Nicola's spent the last few weeks visiting dozens of Starbucks locations and pored over menus, store formats, and different drink preparations.
00:23He's coming into a long list of problems he has to tackle, including long wait times, union contract negotiations, and falling sales.
00:32Nicola will also have to try and turn around stores internationally, something he has limited experience in.
00:37People who have worked with him say he focuses on select projects with big payoffs and directs staff to make the big thing the big thing.
