Summary

The Cat & Cloud podcast is back and we’re bringing y’all some big news! If y’all have been following us a while then you’ve at least heard of the Best Friend’s Club and if you haven’t, this is the perfect episode for you. This week on the pod, Chris, Jared, and Charles are walking us through the history of the BFC, how it started, how it continues to grow, and finally introducing the Best Friends Blend! To continue expanding the reach of the BFC, we have decided to introduce the Best Friends Blend as our newest espresso offering. This blend will always include one of our BFC coffees, allowing us to vastly increase the amount of BFC coffee sold in our cafes—which means more money goes directly back into the lives of our producers.

Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/catcloudcoffee/ Cat & Cloud: https://catandcloud.com/ Chris Baca’s Personal Blog: https://chrisbaca.com/ We are Cat & Cloud Coffee. Started by three friends trying to pursue their passions with the mission to inspire connection by creating memorable experiences, and we created this podcast to continue forming those connections inside and out of our cafes. The Cat & Cloud podcast was created as a space for two of our founders, Chris Baca and Jared Truby, to share their experiences in the coffee industry and starting a business. Each week the guys sit down to talk about their new challenges as business owners, how they’ve utilize our mission and values to make decisions, and answer questions from our listening community.
