Episode 70 - April Kirby (Crest Cafe)

This episode of the podcast is with April Kirby. April is the founder/operator of Crest Cafe, a donation based coffee shop in Nashville, TN. This excerpt is taken from the Crest Cafe website (crestcoffeehouse.com) that explains it much better than I can... "We are Nashville's first donation based coffee house providing a unique take on the traditional coffee scene by using locally roasted artisanal coffee and espresso to change our community one sip at a time. 90% of the profit goes directly to the community, additionally each quarter we partner with a missional organization to help raise both awareness and funds for causes in Nashville and beyond. Our goal is to brew more than just good coffee, we want to brew up change and community too. WHAT EXACTLY IS DONATION BASED? It is exactly what it sounds like-- instead of telling you the price of your coffee, tea, etc you tell us. Give what you can/ what you feel. We want CCH to be a place where EVERYONE feels welcome and where we make a difference. 100% of our profits go straight back to making positive changes in Nashville. So come on, join us in making a difference, all you have to do is order a coffee." It is easy to see why April and her mission aligns so well with everything we are about here at Spread The Positive. April has a really incredible story that led her to start Crest Cafe. She has a servant's heart and is passionate about making a difference in her community and beyond. She is definitely a really great example of everything we are looking to showcase on this podcast. April has some really great examples of "what is going right", applicable tips on maintaining a positive mindset and much more on the typical podcast topics. Big thanks to April for being on the podcast and all she is doing to Spread The Positive.
