Welcome back for week six of Hot Coffee for the Creative Soul with host Ryan Castelaz, Owner & Creative Director of discourse | a liquid workshop! This week, Ryan had the opportunity to sit down with a long time friend and role model, Sam Brown, the Co-Founder & Roaster of Coffee Wizardz based in Green Bay, WI. For the the last twenty years, Sam has involved himself in nearly every facet of the coffee industry: from washing dishes and building sandwiches, to pouring gorgeous latte art and serving inspired signature beverages at regional competitions. In this heart-to-heart conversation, Ryan and Sam discuss the origins of Coffee Wizardz, the power of crowd-funding, the fleeting yet beautiful nature of coffee, and what may be the most valuable tool in any professional creatives tool belt: drive.
