Chris Baca is part owner of Cat & Cloud Coffee in Santa Cruz, California, podcast host, and actively encourages others to pursue their passions.  In this podcast, I dive deep into Chris' life and ask a few questions that throw him off!

I first heard about Chris through a podcast called "The Ground Up Show" hosted by Matt D'avella.  In that podcast, they spoke about their passions and what they did to explore what they love.  Chris has a passion for coffee and community building, so naturally I gravitated toward his online content.  Through the years, I've been able to have constructive conversations with Chris about what I want to do with my time and through storytelling.
