Back to EpisodesEpisode 82: The One Where The Boys Are Back Coffee Edition Ft. Will Swofford and Josh Mitchell
Description
In this episode, the boys are back… and we’re diving deep into all things coffee!
Nechama sits down with small-batch roasters Will and Josh for a full-circle conversation on how passion, culture, and community brought them into the world of coffee. From unexpected beginnings to burning beans in their kitchens, their journeys are anything but traditional.
What starts as a lighthearted coffee chat quickly turns into something deeper. The trio explores how global experiences in places like Peru and Ethiopia shaped their appreciation for coffee as more than just a drink, but a ritual rooted in connection and generosity.
They break down the art and science behind roasting, the realities of building a coffee business from the ground up, and the differences between hobbyists and full-time entrepreneurs. You’ll also get insider insight into coffee development, sourcing beans, and what actually makes a great cup.
But beyond the beans, this episode touches on something even more meaningful: grief, purpose, and building a life rooted in intention. Through personal stories of loss and resilience, the conversation highlights how community, faith, and small acts of kindness can create lasting impact.
Whether you’re a coffee nerd, an aspiring entrepreneur, or someone navigating life’s ups and downs, this episode is a reminder that:
life is short, community matters, and sometimes the smallest moments mean everything.
