#43: Mentorship in Specialty Coffee: Students Become the Teachers | SCA Lectures 2018

One of the "special" things about specialty coffee is the connections that coffee people make with one another—beyond simply making deals, beyond simply hiring and firing, we are an industry of people who are drawn to share, learn, and grow with one another. Mentorship is one of the most powerful professional tools in that regard, and something that sets the specialty apart from the commercial: It also, however, comes with great responsibility, and sometimes even risks.

Today's episode - recorded at Specialty Coffee Expo in 2018 - features a panel, led by moderator Ever Meister: Candice Madison of Irving Farm Coffee Roasters; Katie Carguilo of Counter Culture Coffee; Lem Butler of Black & White Coffee Roasters; Nicholas Cho of Wrecking Ball Coffee Roasters; and Mansi Chokshi of the Specialty Coffee Association.
