This month, we’ve decided to blend a few of our favorite projects together, the Honey Moon Coffee Co. podcast, and The One coffee ritual for couples. We invited our friends Chandra and Austin Maxheimer to visit our new office space to share coffee and conversation. But in addition to recording a podcast together, we prompted them with some of the discussion prompts from The One coffee ritual, where they could reflect together on what it means for each of them to be HOME and AWAY.
A short teaser of the podcast is available today, with a quick introduction from Jessica and Zac, and the full episode will release next week.
Zac and Jessica reflect on the end of the second quarter, and the rhythms that they are looking forward to in the 3rd. Jessica claims to have the best hike ever, and Zac finally impresses Jessica with a taglline for the new Honey Moon Coffee Ritual.
Also, as a bonus, we have the full conversation with Kelly Johnson from The Daily Grind Podcast.

On a very special episode of the Honey Moon Coffee C. podcast, Zac and Jessica sit down on the patio of their hotel in Colombia during their first trip to a coffee farm on a full moon. Sam and Ethan worked at Honey Moon together as baristas before getting married, and they still work with us now in leadership capacities. Listen to the story of how they met, their first impressions of each other, how they finally decided to get married, and what they are looking forward to in the future.
On this episode of the Honey Moon Coffee Co. Podcast, Zac takes the lead interviewing Jessica on her connection between the business they’ve built and the home they’ve made. The podcast’s producer, Wes Luttrell, hops on with back half of the show to riff with Zac regarding his thoughts on this episode, connecting home and team, and how the couple sees competition in town.
This recording of the Honey Moon Coffee Company Podcast finds Zac and Jessica overlooking a beautiful grape vineyard in conversation with Hubert Mussat and Katy Groves-Mussat, owners of Farmer and the Frenchman Winery in Henderson, Kentucky. Truly the Farmer and the Frenchman, hear Hubert and Katy’s tell of who they are (from the other’s point of view), why they started a winery in Henderson, and how they did so with the help and support of Katy’s family. This episode truly embodies what this podcast is all about: inspiring stories of partners in Love and Business.
After five years, one pandemic, dozens of crew members, and thousands of customers, we needed to decide what to do about our lease at our second full location (on Burkhardt Road). Jessica and Zac walk through the pros and cons and the different doors that have opened and closed since then.
Dr. Ryan Wood and Dr. Jessica Wood (Schulz) are the co-founders of Forefront Therapy with three different offices in Evansville, IN.

You can learn more about their story and their practice at https://www.forefronttherapy.org/.
Jessica and Zac talk about how they came to know Ryan, and how they knew he would be the right fit as the Director of Operations at Honey Moon. Now with five months in to the role, Zac sat down with Ryan to share more about his career in the food and hospitality industry, as well as his hopes and goals for the future of Honey Moon.
Ryan got to meet one of our coffee podcast heroes during Coffee Fest in New Orleans, and made Chris Deferio a new friend!

Zac and Jessica sat down on the back porch and had a lively and long conversation with Jared and Briley of JB's Barnyard Ice Cream.

So please enjoy getting to know these two and get ready to taste their amazing ice cream in a Honey Moon location near you.
Jessica and Zac get away to a new hotel in St. Louis and get a surprising upgrade. They also received the final report from a consultation and facilitation by Derek Jones from the University of Evansville's Center for Innovation and Change. After some reflection from Wes and Zac, the couple behind the Parrella Petite bakery sit down with Jessica and Zac on the back patio to discuss their entrepreneurial journey and bringing bagels to the Honey Moon menu.
Zac and Jessica record a conversation out of town about what it feels like on the other side of completing the big west side project, and what goals for 2024 look like. Zac and Wes discuss some of the changes from season 1 to season 2.
