Hey everyone on this episode of the podcast, we're returning to an episode where Chris and Jared are answering a question around how to progress your life forward in the coffee industry.

They ultimately share that it's a matter of how you show up and the perspective you have with the task you're doing, more so than doing a specific set of steps. It's also a matter

topic if you're starting down the career path or if you've got some miles under your belt and you're
