Ep. 56: Finding opportunity and good java at Empowered Coffee

The co-founder, Jonathan Davis, and employees of Empowered Coffee talk with co-host Tolly Moseley about running a radically inclusive coffee shop, where employees of all abilities pour you a cup of joe. Davis explained why he wanted to create meaningful employment for a segment of population that wants to work hard but doesn’t always get the opportunity. 101X radio host Deb O’ Keefe didn’t always have dreams of becoming a bodybuilder, but when she found out the mission of a local competition called Make A Vet Sweat, she decided to compete. Last week, Peter Dutton, a 30-year-old Austinite, found himself caught up in a case of mistaken Twitter identity with an Australian politician bidding to become the country’s prime minister. He explains why this mix-up has turned out to be a blessing. In A Toast, we recommend: Netflix new Matt Groening series “Disenchantment,” H-E-B’s curbside pickup and two movies: Spike Lee’s “BlacKkKlansman” and “Christopher Robin.” More info: austin360.com/loveaustin360.  Learn more about your ad choices.
