This week we’re bringing you a very special bonus episode with Isabela Raposeiras, former Brazilian Barista Champion and Founder of the pioneering specialty coffee and coffee education business, Coffee Lab in São Paulo.

In this fascinating conversation, Isabela shares her extraordinary journey motivated by living through a family bankruptcy, to owning one of the best coffee shops in the world. 

She also discusses the importance of loyal relationships with coffee producers, building a brand that matches your values, and why learning to manage people has been one of the most challenging, yet rewarding aspects of her career.
