For once, the rumours may actually be true: this week, after an epic
technical failure in Shanghai, Jenn took the opportunity to hijack No. 51 with
the help of legendary behind-the-scenes lurker, Julie Housh. Past-Chair of
Barista Guild of America, former Competitions Coordinator of World Coffee Events,
and current Executive Assistant to SCAA Director, Ric Rhinehart, there’s a good
chance you’re familiar with or have somehow been touched by* Julie’s work,
despite the fact that she tends to fly “under the radar.”
Together, they drag Episode 51 in a slightly different direction from the
norm as they chat about backstage shenanigans, their mutual love of
spreadsheets, barista guilds, unorthodox coffee career paths, career
sustainability, the performance of gender in competition, the importance of
allowing yourself to fail, awkward self-serving statements, and the current
role of social media in the coffee industry.
Join us live for a seriously awesome lineup in Antwerp, April 25-27! Tickets are still available from Barista Guild of Europe, but going quickly.
