Aaron and Wade sit down with Marvin Gay of LoPhase Coffee, to follow a journey through hard times, big successes, adversity, and self-assertion. Marvin's describes his experience of coming into conflict with the dominant cultures of the coffee industry and his decisions to trust himself, express himself, and ultimately be himself in spite of the pressure to conform. Marvin's story is not merely about coffee; it is a powerful example of how to rise from challenges, stay true to yourself, demand more of those around you, and ultimately expand the cultural purview of the coffee industry.
