“ Vietnam is the number two producer of coffee in the world, which blew my mind because I didn't know that as a Vietnamese American.” - Sarah NguyenRevisiting this conversation reminded me why I started this podcast—to amplify powerful stories, and Sarah Nguyen's journey is nothing short of inspiring. Her passion for reshaping the global coffee industry, advocating for Vietnamese coffee farmers, and pushing for diversity and transparency is exactly the kind of discussion that makes podcasting so rewarding.What stood out most was Sarah's deep connection to her heritage and her unwavering commitment to redefining the perception of Vietnamese coffee in the U.S. She broke down long-held misconceptions about Robusta beans and exposed how "Vietnamese coffee" is often misrepresented in specialty cafés. But her mission extends beyond coffee—it's about cultural preservation, economic empowerment, and challenging industry biases.Beyond the coffee industry, we explored themes of identity, language, and the Asian American experience. Sarah's openness about her family's refugee journey and the broader challenges facing the AAPI community added an important layer of depth to our conversation. Whether you're hearing it for the first time or revisiting it in this remastered edition, this episode remains just as powerful. From her surreal Drew Barrymore moment to her insights on sustainability and ethical sourcing, this conversation is packed with energy, authenticity, and game-changing ideas.Key Takeaways:Vietnam's Coffee Industry is Vastly"Send me a message!"7 Bridges Brewing Co. - An award winning Vietnamese craft brewery from Da Nang, with breweries across Vietnam!Rabbit Hole Irish Sports Bar - Check out their new location on Tran Nao with the best views in the city over Landmark 81!

Margaret Swallow devoted 23 years in the corporate world mastering the intricacies of brand management and strategy at P&G with five years working on Folger Coffee brand. She was successful by every conventional measure: a career on an upward trajectory, influence, and a reputation as a trusted leader. But, for Margaret,  success wasn't enough.It was a crisis that became the turning point. A global crisis within the coffee industry revealed a hard truth to Margaret: billions of dollars flowed through an industry that started with small, family-run farms—families that were often overlooked in the economic equation. For Margaret, this revelation resonated deeply. “It starts with families,” she said. “Growing families were part of my essence, whether biological or the family I became part of through life. That, for me, became my coffee family.” So, Margaret left the corporate world to answer a louder calling: to create significance through the very industry that had captured her heart. She joined the Coffee Quality Institute (CQI), leveraging her skills to help families around the globe. Margaret's efforts were far-reaching, but they started small—with a ripple. Margaret, who had developed training programs at P&G, saw an opportunity to bring that experience to the nonprofit world. She designed a Women in Coffee Leadership Program, modeled after the Marketing Director College she had once spearheaded. But this program wasn't just about theory; it was interactive, practical, and transformative. From 2005 to 2006, Margaret's program took root, inspiring the creation of the International Women's Coffee Alliance (IWCA). www.womenincoffee.org The IWCA's ripple began as a single chapter in Costa Rica. But Margaret, inspired by the Rotary Club's model of local chapters, envisioned something far bigger. Today, there are over thirty IWCA chapters worldwide, each empowering women in coffee-growing communities to receive funding directly—without intermediaries. “It's about families helping families,” Margaret said. “And it's about enabling local leaders to take charge of their own futures.” The ripple effects didn't stop there. Margaret worked with the University of Maryland to establish an alternative break program. Starting in 2010, students traveled to Los Andes, a coffee farm in Guatemala, to experience the harvest firsthand.Over a decade, hundreds of students learned not just about coffee but about the lives and resilience of the families who cultivate it. “I wanted to connect people to a place I'd send my own family,” Margaret reflected. And she did just that. For Margaret, it wasn't just about building programs; it was about fostering relationships. One of those relationships was with Phyllis Johnson, who co-founded the Coffee Coalition for Racial Equity, further expanding the industry's impact and inclusivity. Margaret's work inspired others to create ripples of their own, each wave building on the last. When asked if she would have followed this path without the crisis, Margaret's answer was measured. “I think so. But the crisis crystallized the need. It made me ask, ‘Where can I make the greatest difference?'”And Margaret's blueprint for creating significance? Start with understanding the need, she advises. Commit realistically and execute with excellence. Whether it's a small epiphany—a "little e"—or a life-altering one, she emphasizes the importance of starting where you can and growing from there. Would she do it all again? Margaret smiled. “I wouldn't change a thing. Those 23 years at P&G prepared me for this work. They gave me the tools, the confidence, and the perspective. Everything I've done since then has been about giving back, about creating a ripple effect that matters.” And now, the rest of her life is still unfolding, one ripple at a time. Margaret Swallow—a woman who traded success for significance—is proof that the best part of waking up is finding meaning in your cup.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/success-made-to-last-legends--4302039/support.

Experts are warning things are set to get 'very scary' for New Zealand's coffee and café industry. Global supply chain disruptions and worsening climate conditions have been driving up production costs - and one leading presence in the coffee world warns that these costs will be passed on to businesses. New reports show the average green coffee price had lifted from $3.76 a kilogram in 2020 to $10.18 a kilogram in 2024 and was at $13.97 so far in January. Richard Corney, the managing director of Flight Coffee, says consumers will need to be prepared to cover these costs. "We're looking at some pretty significant reductions in growth margins or operating profit for coffee roasters, and the fact of the matter is - they cannot afford to wear those costs and they will need to pass them on."
