Part 3 - From a Fire In Boone to Lessons of Trust in Rwanda
from La Taza Habla · host Don Cox
In this powerful third installment of our series on La Taza Habla, we go behind the scenes of coffee roasting to explore the "faithful finish". This episode dives deep into the raw reality of starting over after a devastating fire destroyed a local Boone, NC roastery. We discuss the 20-year "long obedience" required to grow as a business person and the resilience needed when you lose everything. Whether you are a fan of specialty coffee or someone navigating a difficult life pivot, this episode offers a profound look at how community support and global perspectives shape the soul of a roaster.
