This is a Soulfire production.

Today's episode is with a very special guest, my dear friend Teal Cooper.

Teal is the co-founder of Vendie, the next level vending machine. Everyone has been

waiting for. It's literally a barista at the touch of a button and has totally changed the

coffee vending game forever and the office coffee industry. Teal and her brother, Tristan,

launched the company when they were in college.

They knew nothing about coffee or vending machines. And you're going to hear the whole story in

this episode. And Vendie Bean is now in five cities, three states with 200 machines at different

universities, hospitals, military bases, and corporations like BuzzFeed, HP, Puma, and more.

So in this episode, we dive into how they came up with the idea for Vendee Bean, what it

was like starting that company when they literally knew nothing about what they were getting

into, and also all of the dynamics working with family.

Teal is also the host of her own podcast, Real With Teal, which I had the pleasure

of being a guest on recently. It was such a fun episode. You should definitely go listen to it.

But Real With Teal is all about expanding people's consciousness, helping them break free from

societal programs and limiting beliefs, finding fulfillment in their

careers, and really bringing a higher level of consciousness to the entrepreneurship space.

And in this episode, we get into Teal's journey of how she found spirituality, which was a lot

more recently than I had realized. Teal had a really intense jaw surgery that really shifted her relationship with herself

in the way that she saw the world.

And it led her down the spiritual path.

And so we dive deep into that.
