About this episode

Coffee and entrepreneurship seem to go hand in hand. I bet you can’t scroll the Instagram accounts of your favorite creators and business owners without a photo of a latte or a caffeine-inspired meme popping up, right? 

This guest made coffee the center of her business, and with it, is on a mission to transform the industry through diversity, inclusion, and sustainability. Sahra Nguyen is the founder and CEO of Nguyen Coffee Supply, the first specialty Vietnamese coffee company importing directly from the source. From features in the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, New York Magazine and even landing the cover of Food & Wine magazine, her success keeps coming, and part of that is the dedicated community of supporters, fans, and coffee drinkers brewing up these specialty beans.
