Jon Bailey: Pour Boy

Jon Bailey (photographer, videographer, and co-owner of Lantern Coffee Bar & Lounge) joins Aaron McCall for a conversation about reinvention, embracing uncertainty, and the realities of running an independent coffee shop. His path hasn’t been a straight line—from filming skate videos to shooting weddings to finding his place in coffee—but with grit, determination, and a willingness to bet on himself, he’s learned what it means to build something with intention. They discuss the challenges of leadership, the weight of responsibility, and creating a space where people feel like they belong.Keep up with Jon Bailey:lanterncoffee.comIG: @thereal.joncoffeeIG: @lanterncoffeebar——This episode is supported by:Creative Mornings Grand RapidsMerchants & Makers——Writer/Producer/Editor/Host:Aaron McCallaaronmccall.netIG: @aaron_mccall——Co-Host/Sidekick/Photographer:Joe Mattesonthemattesons.coIG: @joe_dustin——Music:"Noises" by Mike Mains & The Branches——Support the Podcast:Buy Merch——Follow Bad Idea Social Club:badideasocialclub.comIG: @badideasocialclub
