Meet Cait Rifkin: head roaster for Snake River Roasting in Jackson, WY. Passionate but not snobby about coffee – she's not here to yuck your Folger's yum – Cait has found how to intersect her social work background with getting people the best cup of coffee she can. Oh, and ever notice how coffee is portrayed in movies and TV? Cait sure has. Check out Cait's podcast on coffee: tiny sidecar.

Working with Women - Gabrielle Smith

In this episode excerpt, Chef Gabrielle lets us know that working in an all-female kitchen is no Planet Gazorpazorp... in fact... it's pretty great! Listen to how they prioritize honest communication to get ahead of any management pitfalls.

In the Neighborhood - Luke Bowanko

In this episode excerpt Luke Bowanko, former NFL player turned farmer. talks about how he hopes to inspire his neighbors to become growers themselves. And from there... who knows? Maybe he can help inspire a movement of community growing. Throughout the interview, Luke mentioned different documentaries and books he found inspiring. I'm listing them below. I'm also putting a link for Farmshare Austin, where Luke got his farming formation. For anyone looking to grow the movement, each one of these resources may help.

Managing a New Generation - Ali Cohane

In this episode, I chat with Ali Cohane, co-owner of Persephone Bakery, Picnic, and Persephone West Bank here in Jackson, Wyoming. I pulled out this excerpt because it felt rather applicable to all of us: how does it feel managing a new generation? Looking at you, Gen Z. And how can we be more open to new perspectives to make a stronger workforce? Looking at you, Millennials. Ali gives a grounding perspective on how to keep an open mind, but still bring who you are and what you need to management.

The Jobs that Shape Us - Abigail Olson

If you want some wild parenting advice, here comes some stories from Abigail Olson's childhood (not shared in the main episode). Trigger alert: small children holding rats for slaughter.

A Chat on Management - Abigail Olson

This is a shorter (not short) cut of my chat with Abigail Abby Olson, during which she gets into her thoughts on management. Not only was this where she really lit up, but she had so many good words of advice, that it deserved to be pulled out into its own edit. Management isn't easy, but it is an ever-changing, ever-challenging art form.

ADHD and the Kitchen - Nate Keller

In this episode, I talk to Nate Keller, one of the first 11 employees of Google's campus kitchens. A gluten for big projects and stress, Nate helped open Google kitchens around the world, eventually serving over 50K people. This excerpt is his take on ADHD in the kitchen and respecting kitchen workers. "There is no such thing as unskilled labor."

Dessert Should be Short Fireworks - Kaitlyn Anderson (short cut)

Kaitlyn Anderson has worked everywhere from 2-Michelin restaurants, dessert-forward restaurants, hotels, and ice cream shoppes (JK, just shops, this isn't 1950). She has lived and worked in Chicago, San Francisco, Denver, and now Jackson, WY. In other words, she's seen a lot. Although she has been in the industry since graduating high school, being a chef had never really been her plan. But once she started, she quickly found she had too much love, fun, and drive to leave the world of desserts. P.S. She and I are very impressed by The Great British Bake Off. How are they even doing that?!

Cait Rifkin on Women in Coffee (minisode)

This minisode compiles Cait's comments on the women who grow, roast, and brew our coffee. Did you know that women can lift heavy things? Apparently, not everyone does.
