In our last episode of the season, we sit down with Jared Truby from Cat & Cloud Coffee out of Santa Cruz, CA and as a bonus, we roped in our mutual friend and Honduran Coffee producer and exporter Benjamin Paz.

With over 20 years of Specialty Coffee experience under his belt and growth of 2 successful companies: Verve Coffee Roasters as well as Cat & Cloud, Jared is extremely passionate about Culture, Values, leadership, hospitality, quality, and growth- all essential ingredients to the success of Cat & Clouds buying program. Jared also hosts a very popular podcast along with his business partner Chris Baca titled Cat & Cloud Coffee Podcast where they unpack the lessons they've learned along their journey from being barista champions ,to building a mission driven business and everything in between so having Jared and Benjamin as our last guests of the season made for an awesome conversation around quality, hospitality and sustainability.
