Welcome back! We are excited to bring some new interesting and tasty coffee information to our listeners for Season 2. After a longer time away than initially anticipated, we are refreshed and recharged. We have expanded our Why Coffee Team and brought on Aimes Gentile as our Producer. This will allow us to keep our energy up, share the load and work at what we are best at, with the intention of expanding and growing our content across other platforms! 

Pandemic is still top of mind at the start of 2022 and we are currently in an Omicron wave. With recent restriction changes to curb this wave, coffee shops have been dealt a lot of uncertainty. Many businesses are in an uncomfortable space figuring out what type of business they fall into, operating in a grey-area and waiting to see if they get fined or shut down.  We have a great chat about how businesses and frontline staff are doing business differently, letting go of fear and embracing change.
