In this episode of The Community Cast, Carissa Chipman sits down with Crystal Brown, Community Marketing Manager for Maine and New Hampshire at Aroma Joe's and Chair of the AJ Cares Foundation.
Crystal shares how she's built a career rooted in connection and bringing Aroma Joe's mission to "positively impact people" to life every day. From empowering baristas in their first jobs to building meaningful community partnerships, Crystal gives an inside look at what makes the brand more than just a coffee stop.
They also talk about the power of showing up as yourself, how local businesses can make a real difference, and what it means to truly invest in people. That includes everything from supporting Make-A-Wish to working on better water access for coffee farmers in Honduras.
If you've ever thought about what it looks like to lead with purpose, build real relationships, and create a sense of community through your work, this episode is for you.
