"Everyone has to believe in something. I believe I'll have another cup of coffee" - Many of us. 

Coffee (or tea or whatever you enjoy) is more than a drink: it's a vehicle for innovation. The cafe culture that began in Turkey, spread through Europe and brought a humble bean (actually, it's a cherry!) from Africa, South America, and Indonesia to cups around the world is both a literal and metaphorical embodiment of innovation. In this episode, we speak about what it is about coffeehouses and innovation and what lessons we can learn from what they bring. 

We look at how coffee can bring people together, give pause, and create a third space for us to learn, share, create, and innovate.
