SEASON 2 STARTS TOMORROW! 💫
In episode one, I sit down with the wonderful Bee Southworth (she/her) - Coffee Partnerships and Training Manager for
@northstarroast in Leeds.
With a fruitful coffee journey that spans over 16 years, this conversation with Bee provides a real deep dive into the honest realities of working in the coffee industry - starting out as a barista and journeying through a real variety of corners of the coffee industry.
Hilarious, honest and deeply personal, Bee’s story is super inspiring, and is something that I felt influenced me from the day that we sat down together.
In the podcast we discuss the formative impact of working in hospitality in comparison to university experiences, the power of Linkedin, social media and their relation to hiring practices in coffee, how the coffee industry can compromise a work-life balance and the realities of living and working with anxiety on a daily basis.
Listen or watch from tomorrow, 3rd August - wherever you get your podcasts! 🎧
