In this episode of our 'Building in Public' series, we sit down with Quincy Henry, the owner of Campfire Coffee. Quincy shares his journey from being a two-time Grammy-nominated musician to an innovative coffee roaster. We dive deep into his philosophy of roasting coffee over a campfire, a method rooted in historical practices, and explore how it ties into his broader mission of connecting people to nature and community.

Quincy also sheds light on the importance of storytelling in reshaping the coffee industry's narratives and how his research into arts entrepreneurship informs his unique approach. Learn about his 'third show principle,' why personal connection matters in business, and the untold history of coffee's role in the transatlantic slave trade. This episode is packed with insights on growth, resilience, and changing paradigms—both in coffee and beyond.
