This is the 4th of a 5-part series on The Daily Coffee Pro Podcast by Map It Forward, with Purity Wangare (Customer Experience Manager), Sai On (Visual Storyteller), and Ran Gurung (Roaster) from RAW Coffee Company in Dubai, UAE.

In this series, which first aired on the Map It Forward Middle East Podcast, Purity, Ran, and On, together with Map It Forward Founder and podcast host Lee Safar, explore how a coffee career in the Middle East changed the lives of these coffee professionals and what that journey was like for them.

The five episodes of this series are:

1. Why Have a Career in Coffee? - https://youtu.be/8Bur06Bvb84

2. A Coffee Career in the Middle East - https://youtu.be/CvWm8sPkOJA

3. A Multicultural Coffee Community - https://youtu.be/AZqEVMw7nu4

4. The Complex World of Coffee Competitions - https://youtu.be/FgwQvyRIdRA

5. Paving a Career Path in Coffee - https://youtu.be/AGt5T0SYQvU

In this episode of the podcast, we dive into the complexities and impacts of coffee competitions with Purity, On, and Ran, and discuss the personal and financial challenges involved, the emotional toll on competitors, and the quest for validation.

The discussion also highlights the lack of fairness in international competitions, especially for those from regions with visa restrictions.

Join us as we explore whether these competitions are worth the effort and how they influence careers in the coffee industry.
