This week on the podcast Michael and Jared are joined by another new voice on the Podcast, Director of Coffee Marc Gessler! The guys are hopping on the mic to talk about barista competitions, shameless plugs and Marc’s experience of finding artistry through his work with coffee. We’re diving into coffee competitions! We are thrilled that our Director of Coffee Marc and our Green Coffee Coordinator Dulce are going to be breaking us in to the competitive world of coffee for the first time this year. Listen to the full episode to hear more on the process of signing up, get some recommendations from Jared on getting prepped, and what finally clicked for Marc to say “nows the time.” Do you have a question you’ve been dying to ask us?
