It's the final episode of our Dubai Special! We're reflecting on the incredible experience that was ‘World of Coffee Dubai' — the first time we've taken the podcast internationally, and what an absolute privilege it's been. We're a bit blurry-eyed in the hotel lobby (literally), but feeling full of love and gratitude. World of Coffee Dubai is a world-class event, and we made sure to soak in everything it had to offer. In this episode, we look back at our favorite stalls, the amazing caliber of guests, our efforts smuggling milk, tasting a $1300 coffee, a trip to the desert, and a run-in with a falcon. Dubai also highlighted some glaring gaps in Australia's coffee industry — what have we learned from this experience? Tune in to find out! If you're new here (welcome), our show dives into some of the best coffee conversations on the internet, but we will always remind ourselves at the end of the day - It's Just Coffee! We cannot overstate our gratitude for ‘World of Coffee Dubai'. Thank you for an incredible opportunity! And of course we couldn't have done it without our wonderful listeners. Help us to continue to grow the podcast by sharing with friends, leaving a review or following us wherever you listen - we would greatly appreciate it!

Hello there fellow travelers! We're back with another deep dive from World of Coffee Dubai, and today, we're welcoming back one of our favorite guests—Simon Gautherin from APAX Lab! Simon and Kirk explore Dubai's late-night coffee culture and how it compares to Australia, then get into the real secret behind great coffee—water quality. Simon breaks down the science behind minerals in water, why bad water = bad coffee, and how APAX Lab is changing the game with mineral-enhanced solutions. It's always a pleasure having Simon on the show—his insights into coffee and water science never fail to blow our minds.

Total Duration 45:13 Download episode 109 Laugh While Learning I love to laugh. Whether it's a podcast episode, a keynote presentation, or an e-learning workshop, I like to keep it light-hearted. I've just found that it's easier to learn when we're enjoying the experience. Yet though I share the name of the famous, albeit dead, comedian Andy Kaufman, I'm not really that funny! I have to work at it. And because of that, there are times when a joke not only isn't particularly funny--it's counter-productive. Perhaps someone is the butt of the joke, so to speak, and they don't like it. Or it was making light at a time or subject that wasn't appropriate. The Humor Code Our guests in this episode are Pete McGraw and Joel Warner. They are the authors of a clever new book entitled The Humor Code: A Global Search for What Makes Things Funny. Why is it that some things are funnier than others? When can humor help us and when can it get in the way? Pete and Joel traveled the world to dissect humor across cultures to learn what makes us laugh. Learning about humor is not just for stand-up comics and class clowns. Since we are in the business of delivering projects and leading teams, we would all benefit from learning how to use this important tool for mutual benefit, while avoiding the landmines of inappropriate use. Learn more about their book by visiting http://humorcode.com/. Thank you for joining me for this episode of The People and Projects Podcast! Have a great week!
