Have you ever wondered what a coffee hunter does? In this episode, we cover that and much more. I have always dreamed about visiting Brazil and getting a chance to speak with Andre was such a blessing. The more I speak to farmers around the globe the more I realize that we are all so similar in what we want in life. A good family, amazing coffee, and to use our hands to create something amazing. Can't wait to visit your farm one day my friend!

I had a blast speaking with Matt Rosenblum and Misha Mansoor. It is not too often you hop on a call with two people you have never met and immediately feel like a friend. Their energy is contagious and I ended the podcast feeling hopeful and motivated to continue on my own path. This coffee journey is different for everyone and all of us will face some of the same struggles. The best we can do is share the journey and hope to move everyone a tad bit closer to their goals. Thanks again for coming on guys and dropping some knowledge on us.

In this episode, we journey with Jorge through Guatemala.  He is a coffee hunter and loves sharing his knowledge and passion for coffee with the local farmers. The lives they live are so different and unique than my own and I can't help but leave the conversation with more of an appreciation and respect for all those who help produce the coffee we all love.

Bert gets me excited about cold brew in this episode as we discuss his San Franciscan SF6 Roaster, inflation, and business. This episode was highly motivating for me and really put some things in perspective.  I appreciate Bert's transparency and openness in sharing his lessons learned and knowledge. Individuals like Bert are what makes this coffee industry so unique. Thanks for coming on the show my friend and I am looking forward to stopping by next time I am passing through Alabama!

I had the pleasure of speaking with a marvelous coffee roaster from Shanghai China. We discussed the current lockdown situation, the coffee produced in Kona and China, roasters, and life.  Matt is a super humble dude and it was a pleasure to learn more about his culture and what the coffee scene is like in Shanghai!

I had a blast speaking with my old buddy about the coffee trailer he and his wife just started. Although he does not roast coffee yet I wanted to have Nate on because I feel starting a coffee trailer or cart is great for coffee roasters who want to start selling their own coffee. Nate was very generous in providing his figures and numbers on how much it costs to start a coffee trailer and also how much you can make with a coffee trailer.  For me, it was highly motivating to hear about his journey. I am in the process of following this path and it is nice to hear others' experiences. It was also nice reconnecting with an old friend and overall things, because of coffee!  Best of luck to you brother!

Please go and follow Abide Coffee Co. and if you are ever in the Destin, Florida area look them up. 

Follow them here where they give all the updates on where the trailer is going to be.

Things do not always go the way you planned but sometimes that may not be a bad thing.  Learning to accept the setbacks can be tough especially when you poured your heart and soul out for a dream that falls short of working out. We always see the success stories displayed on YouTube and the other social media platforms but I feel obligated to tell the humbling stories as well. Those moments in life that crush you and make you feel trapped. 

I am very excited to be marching in this new direction and look forward to bringing you along the journey!

Head up, keep moving forward, smile, and never stop learning!

Scott Thomas with Freedom Hill Coffee Roasters has been a major motivation for me over the past few months. I remember sitting in the truck at my work's parking lot about 2 years ago listening to Scott tell me about his dream of starting a coffee roastery.  I provided what little info I knew at the time and then off he went. Fast forward 2 years and he has a 10kg roaster in a 10,000 sqft facility and employees.  His story is inspiring to me because it just goes to show that if you have the mindset and willpower to make a dream come true then all it takes is a belief in yourself and consistent daily action to make it a reality. 

Thanks so much for coming on the show Scott.

Chris Deferio, host of the podcast "Keys to the Shop", really dropped some knowledge in this episode. We discuss everything from buying a coffee shop vs building one from scratch, the biggest issues causing coffee shops to fail, the media side of coffee, and consulting. We cover a ton of coffee ground in this episode I am fortunate to have gotten to speak with him. Hope you enjoy the episode and thanks for recording and episode with me Chris!
