Today’s guest is Karen Barnett, the co-founder of Montville Coffee, a specialty coffee roaster based in the Sunshine Coast hinterlands. In addition to winning awards for their blends, Montville Coffee was the first Fairtrade and Organic coffee roasters in Queensland, and became a certified B Corp in 2016.

But as Karen will tell you, being a regional social enterprise and husband-and-wife team has not been a simple or easy journey. I was so grateful for Karen’s honesty and vulnerability in this conversation – the information and anecdotes Karen shares are just as important as the awards she’s won and the capital she’s raised.
