Did you imagine that the business and the mission would have grown this much and you would be at almost a half a million dollars donated through seven weeks coffee?

I think we're just getting started but this milestone of five hundred thousand dollars donated is going to be awesome to surpass. We're obviously

unapologetically pro-life. We're actually leading the charge in how we source

our coffee. So we like to say we're a pro-abundant life from the farmers we

get to support to the moms at pregnancy care centers.

What is your advice to someone listening who maybe is an entrepreneur themselves or is

trying to get into starting a business.

Anton Kressick, welcome to the podcast. Thank you so much having me on, Lila.

All right, we're big fans of you on the show, as you know. We talk about seven weeks all the time. It's really amazing what you've built so I'm excited to share with the audience some of the background here because not many people know it. So for starters, tell us a little bit about your background Anton

and then what inspired you to found seven weeks coffee? Yeah, so I used to work in

political fundraising, but I always had a passion for the

pro-life movement. It really inspired seven weeks coffee was four years ago I got to

visit a pregnancy center for the first time. I was always pro-life I grew up in a

pro-life household but I didn't know what it looked like.

You know, until you actually see it in action, especially like a pregnancy center, you don't know what actually it means to live out a pro life world view.

And I just saw the work that they did, saving lives in the community, helping

mothers, but one thing stuck out to me, how underfunded centers can be.

And it was really moving because you saw the need you see what they're doing but

There's a gap with the resources they have so that was four years ago fast forward to

2021 I had the idea for seven weeks coffee out of a

passion for coffee and out of a passion to support local pregnancy resource

centers with the mission of donating back 10% of every sale.
