Join me as I chat with Larissa Riemann and Rick Eden, Co-Founders of Mount Pleasant Roastery.

Larissa and Rick take us on their journey that started with a popcorn-maker-turned-coffee-roaster and a craving for the perfect cup of coffee. That DIY approach led to Mount Pleasant Roastery, a trust-based, community building small-batch roaster with a simple customer experience – the honour system. Their storefront is their front yard fence where neighbours are encouraged to pick up a bag of beans anytime, even if all they can offer in return is an IOU.

Their story will inspire you to find a passion outside of your day job, even if it’s just a small hobby to break up the daily grind, and the popularity of their roastery will pass onto you a rewarding and gratifying truth.

When you trust people and give them a chance to return in kind, they will.
