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.

Alex sits down with Bartholomew Jones of Cxffeeblack to learn about his rad venture in coffee, culture, music, and apparel! We chat on everything from the colonization of coffee and current problems with “direct trade,” to being a good neighbor in your cafe’s community, to understanding the true roots and identity of coffee culture...such good stuff. Thank you, Bartholomew!

Helping people experience those Human Moments: Tio and Kenzel Fallen began Three Keys Coffee in 2019, providing incredible, award-winning coffee that is inclusive to all levels of coffee drinkers--which is what it's all about.

In this episode, Tio and Kenzel chat about their story, the similarities found in being both a mechanical engineer and a coffee roaster, their favorite jazz eras, and their experiences as people of color in the coffee industry. We're so stoked on you two and can't wait to see what the future holds for Three Keys!
