From listening to coffee podcasts while working nights at Walmart, to smoking out his house roasting coffee, to owning his own small business today, Stephen of The Coffee Enthusiast: A Brewing Company knows what it means to show up for your dreams.

In this special edition ZoomPod, Jare and Alex sat down on a three-way Zoom with Stephen to hear his story and talk about how inspiring others to come into the world of coffee is a lot cooler than we sometimes give ourselves credit for.

Sisters Be’Anka and Jeronica opened Nirvana Soul Coffee in September after years of hard work and dedication to make their dream a reality! We sat down to hear their story, and also chatted about community, San Jose coffee culture, opening a business during the pandemic, and how it all ties in to the mission: using the power of coffee and tea to bring people together.
