As a roaster your career can go through many different unique phases, all of which will tech you different things about the craft, the business, leadership, and even entrepreneurship. Not least among the things you learn is how to use both resources and constraints as opportunities to serve others and grow as a roaster. These are the kinds of experiences that today’s guest has had in the industry and today we will explore those career phases and what they taught him. I am so pleased to welcome Leigh Wetzle, Cofounder and roaster for Cedar coffee to Rate of Rise!
In this conversation we discuss the lessons learned going from new roaster, roastery manager, starting Cedar, renting time on someone else’s roaster, and now what is going into planning Cedar’s own roastery.
