Mathias was one incredible person to speak with. The focus and drive he has at such a young age are mind-blowing. It is never too early to start chasing a dream and I am honestly jealous of the maturity and ambition he has achieved so early in life. A go-getter mindset coupled with the entrepreneur spirit is something I admire in people.  I loved hearing Mathias's story and hearing about his grandparent's coffee farm in El Salvador and how he is giving back to them by creating his company from the ground up. The El Salvadorian country, culture, and people seem very special and you can tell in his voice how much he cares.  Mathias was not shy about his views and I loved that about him as well. 

I hope the fire in your soul never fades away buddy! Truly appreciate you sharing your journey with me!

The Democratic Republic of the Congo has always been intriguing to me. It is one of those places that still seem mysterious and unexplored. The congo is a large country with ample amounts of resources. In this episode, Jim dives into the issues facing the congo and what Might Peace Coffee is doing by importing coffee to help the country grow and develop.  Jim's love for his home country shines through and I can't wait to see what they accomplish in the future. If you would like to buy some of their coffee the link is below.

Pablo was such a cool dude to speak with and I learned a ton about Guatemala during our conversation. For me, it was one country I did not know that much about.  Very enlightening conversation to say the least.  From being a lawyer, playing rugby, working at coffee shops, to roasting and processing coffee Pablo has lived a life!  Our first conversation before ever hopping on the podcast was about following a path you love and work you enjoy.  That conversation was very inspiring and I look forward to pursuing my dream into coffee deeper and following in his footsteps so to speak.  Thanks again Pablo for the wonderful conversation and look forward to collaborating with you in the future. Keep learning and hustling!

In this episode we speak with Martín Granda from Siempre Verde Farm. He is a coffee producer from Ecuador and I had a great time speaking with him. He was very knowledgeable about the coffee practices down there and we dove deep into the fermentation type of processing that they do. He surprised me with how many crops they grow and "Ferns" actually being their main one hence the name of their farm "Always Green".  He details how they initially got into specialty coffee and goes back into the history of his grandparent's experience with coffee farming. 

Martín is was one of those people I could "talk coffee" with for hours. I really enjoyed this conversation and look forward to meeting him at his farm one day. I hope you enjoy his story as much as I did. Amazing dude for sure! Go check out his coffee and contact him below if you are interested in buying any. 

His information can be found below.

First of all, I want to give a big shout-out to Nate for being my first guest! I was nervous and after the audio failed me I was pretty stressed.  Being in business and knowing how things go he quickly put me to ease and was super chill about it all. Could not have asked for a better guest to begin this journey with. 

Nate is one of the owners of Reve Coffee Roasters and Reve Coffee Lab which is one of the cutting-edge coffee roasteries and shops in Louisiana.  He started this journey when he was 21 after quitting college.  I love hearing stories like that. Bucking the waves and chasing your dream.  I can't wait to have him on again later down the road and see what they are up to. Hope you enjoyed the listen!
