This is your coffee podcast and your newest addiction. I'm Holly Shannon, what are you pouring today coffee lovers? Join me for a cup of connection. We will sip, share, and come completely unfiltered, this Coffee podcast is Brewed for Connection.
Let me give you the dark roast first, coffee is figurative, are we really meeting up for the shot of caffeine, or are we craving connection?
Are you dating? Swipe right for that coffee date! Maybe coffee is your new black!
What about coffee culture? Why are Europeans so into their coffee and make fun of our American brew? We will learn why cappuccinos are against the law in the afternoon in Italy, just kidding!
Do we need to know about the supply chain and bean sustainability, climate change and its effects on growth of our beloved beans? Is their true crime happening to coffee farmers?
How about caffeine for performance? Do you add adaptogens, mushrooms, CBD or THC? Do you have Bulletproof coffee with collagen powder before working out or for recovery after exercise? What are you adding to your coffee? I’ll be talking to you intermittent fasting warriors too!
How about that lighter roast chat? How to brew your best espresso? Let’s go visit the baristas and the little coffee shops we adore.
Do you listen to Spotify playlists designed for coffee shop listening? Is it really just the vibe?
What about brunch? Espresso martinis, bloody Mary or mimosas! Mixologists are having a lot of fun with that liquid nitrogen brew. Do you prefer your coffee addiction with a side of sugar?
Yes, I’m thinking about Tiramisu, chocolates, bourbon, beer, so many delicious coffee indulgences, I’ll find them and share them with you.
I know there are some cult favorites too. How do you really feel about pumpkin spiced latte? Are you team Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts? Regular vs. decaf? I know you have opinions here!
How did Coffee tables earn that moniker? Is the TV show Friends finally opening Central Perk in 2023?
How do you make the best coffee? Let’s learn how to make the best pot of your pour over, french press, drip, and cold brew.
So here’s the tea, just kidding, drink coffee for clarity, focus, your health or an excuse to socialize. But make no mistake, coffee is about connection.
Join me, Holly Shannon, on my podcast, Coffee. Follow me on social so we can sip together and be a part of this community, there will be Youtube video how-to’s, and NPR style interviews. Life can be hard, but coffee helps.
Coffee Culture is Season 5 and dives into the coffee meetup for friendship and connection. It’s not always about the coffee but our need to be there for each other. Both personally and professionally we use coffee as an excuse to gather. But sometimes it is about the brew. This season will address our addiction and allegiance to coffee and fun facts around coffee culture. There will be shorter content for a little sip. Also there will be robust conversation and stories around nostalgia and unique experiences like a coffee meditation. Think of it as our dark roast together. Either way, Coffee is the new black!
If you are new to this podcast, my past content here on Culture Factor has traversed 4 seasons! Season 1 covered topics about company culture from the c-suite during a pandemic. It shifted in Season 2 to company culture from the perspective of emerging leaders that were navigating the new normal in the remote work economy. Season 3 dove into emerging technologies in the Web3 space in an educational format creating simplicity out of new topics. It was for the NFT curious and the Web3 confused.
Season 4 took an NPR style approach interviewing artists, collectors and businesses. Understanding connection, the value of art and the why behind this new creator economy.

Turning Pain into Pages: Stash with Laura Cathcart Robbins
COFFEE CULTURE with Holly Shannon

Turning Pain into Pages: Stash with Laura Cathcart Robbins
Laura Cathcart Robbins turned a viral essay into a podcast called The Only One In the Room. And she turned her pain into pages with a memoir called Stash, My Life in Hiding that's out now!
When she was 44 Laura Cathcart Robbins got sober. That was almost 15 years ago. In the recovery community, it's all about meeting for coffee, it's coffee after the meeting, it's coffee before the meeting. It's coffee. That's how you connect, because we don't meet for drinks anymore, right? Every coffee house became like a haven for her during that time, especially those first couple years.
Along with these topics we talk about her new Bestseller where she turned her pain into pages:
Stash, My Life in Hiding (links to buy in the show notes)
1. First urban PR agent, or as she said is code for Black.
2. Viral post that became a podcast
3. Her podcast, The Only One in the Room
4. Finding love against her will during drug treatment
5. Creating a platform to be known using blogs, podcasts and speaking before writing a memoir
6. 1440 Multi-University with Elizabeth Gilbert and Cheryl Strayed
7. A writer's retreat where she was the only black woman gave birth to her podcast, The Only One in the Room
8. How school felt like the set of the Brady Bunch
9. Drug and alcohol abuse, having children and postpartum depression (dirty little secret)
10. The rise and fall with Ambien, the drug to help you sleep
11. Parent's Association, attending premieres, playing tennis, ladies that lunch all while chipping off pieces of Ambien to stay present and level
12. All the natural receptors to sleep and survive were bludgeoned with Ambien and alcohol
13. Doctors were lenient because she was good at building a facade, she's dismantling the buildings every day
14. Our identity labels, part of a couple (wife), and how buying milk was the moment she lost her sense of 'self' and had an existential crisis or maybe just a realization. Treated differently even as the ex-husband wife, receiving perks from the marriage, being the Mom of the kids from that marriage. Ego feeding identities. Being on a pedestal in her community. Then to rehab, challenged for the perfect motherhood, divorce, no job, no identity.
15. Invitations to baby showers, wedding showers and spa days: saying yes when you don't want to. The power of saying no.
16. The power of saying Yes and No
17. Scott, her husband, who she met in rehab. Dated for 6 years after sobriety. Their relationship while writing the book, having a podcast, all the social media and marketing. Raising kids and and because they weren't busy enough that embarked on a vegan diet too!
