It's New Year's Eve, and what better time to talk about setting yourself up for a successful (and sustainable!) new year?
In this third episode of the Sustainability Series, I'm diving into one of the biggest time and energy drains for photographers: marketing. Let's face it—hunting for clients can feel like an endless Easter egg hunt. But what if, instead of searching for golden eggs, you focused on finding a golden goose?In this episode, I share how I created a portrait membership that became my golden goose—a predictable, recurring revenue stream that reduced my marketing workload and made my business more sustainable. Whether it's memberships, school portraits, or partnerships, the goal is to build systems that decrease your reliance on constant client-hunting and give you more time to focus on what matters most.If you're ready to spend less time chasing clients and more time building a business that supports your life, this episode will give you the inspiration and strategies to get started.Resources: Listen to the Simple Sales Limited Series Podcast where Annemie teaches the 6 steps to running a profitable, sustainable photography business you love.

In the second episode of my Sustainability Series, I'm sharing how a major “lifequake” forced me to rethink everything about my business. Back in 2017, I hit a breaking point—I was working 50-60 hours a week, juggling too many types of jobs, and still not making enough to feel secure. I knew something had to change.That's when I created what's now known as the Simple Sales System. By streamlining my workflow and cutting out anything unnecessary, I was able to make more money in less time, all while delivering a better experience for my clients. In this episode, I walk you through how I did it, how Parkinson's Law (the idea that work expands to fill the time you give it) was holding me back, and why adding creative constraints was the key to my success.If you're feeling like your business is running you instead of the other way around, this episode will show you how to take back control, free up your time, and create a more sustainable path forward.Link:Learn more about The Simple Sales System Resources: Listen to the Simple Sales Limited Series Podcast where Annemie teaches the 6 steps to running a profitable, sustainable photography business you love.

When life throws you curveballs—a health crisis, a financial downturn, or a global pandemic—how does your business hold up? In this week's episode of This Can't Be That Hard, I'm kicking off the Sustainability Series, a four-part exploration of why planning for longevity in your business is so important.I start this series with a story about challenges I've faced in my own life and business that could have been the end of my photography career, but instead were the catalysts that forced me to build a stronger, more sustainable business.If you've ever wondered how to “disaster-proof” your business or create systems that help you weather life's storms, this series is for you. This episode lays the foundation, reminding us that while we can't control life's twists and turns, we can prepare for them—and in doing so, we build businesses that thrive in the long run.Resources: Listen to the Simple Sales Limited Series Podcast where Annemie teaches the 6 steps to running a profitable, sustainable photography business you love.

How do we help? A few thoughts have been swirling in my mind since the SCA expo in Chicago, and one of them has to do with the best contribution we can make to help each other in the industry with our respective parts of the supply chain. It seems that many are majoring in things that are not directly related to their business, and therefore letting their business slip into disrepair. On this Shift break episode we will be talking about the power of tending to the effectiveness of our businesses, in particular, the café, as a means to truly help the farmer, and everyone in between in a sustainable way.

Why does it matter how we talk about climate action?How does better language inspire better action?...Miriam Kashia is a self-proclaimed “climate action warrior.” Based in Iowa, she is involved with 100 Grannies for a Livable Future. In 2014, at the age of 71, she participated in the Great March for Climate Action, where she walked 3,100 miles over 8 months across the United States. She was named a “Climate Hero” by the Guardian's Down to Earth Environmental Newsletter in 2022. You can hear more about her story in “The Race to Save the World” Documentary.In this conversation, originally published in September 2022, Miriam shares her story, detailing different chapters of her life and reflecting on the journey that has led her to where (and who) she is now.

Miriam shares with us a quote that was shared with her, "We will not give into the fear because it is fear that feeds the darkness" and how she is striving to take on daunting issues with love, truth, and justice. Finally, Abbie and Miriam explore the roles, relationships, and rest that help Miriam stay whole and balanced; Miriam's advice for activists and how her perspective has changed; and what it looks like to lean into the chaos that comes when we start to change our social worlds.

When Martin Mayorga first entered the coffee industry it was not as someone whose singular passion was the product, but the people and communities behind it that were unseen and more often that not, unrewarded for their work. He had and still has a mission to address this disparity. Born in Guatemala City to a Nicaraguan father and a Peruvian mother, Martin's early life was a mosaic of Latin American cultures and unique challenges, including losing everything to an earthquake in Guatemala and then again to a revolution in Nicaragua. This journey from Guatemala to Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Peru, and finally the United States exposed him to a variety of perspectives and challenges faced by people across these regions while eventually providing him the opportunities unique to the United States Returning to Nicaragua at 18, Martin was confronted with the harsh realities faced by local farmers and their communities. This experience was pivotal, shaping his mission to uplift Latin American communities through sustainable business practices. Leveraging his education in International Business and Finance from Georgetown University, Martin embarked on a journey to make a positive impact for farmers in Latin Americas well as consumers in the United States. Under Martin's leadership, Mayorga Organics has become more than a coffee company; it's a symbol of hope and empowerment for over 6,000 small farmers across 10 Latin American countries. The company's commitment to organic farming and direct relationships with farmers has not only improved the lives of these communities but also helped to transform consumer perception of ethical consumption in the U.S. Today we will be challenged, enlightened, and inspired as we get to explore the arc of Martin's journey and discuss the various critical components of what has gone into the mission that continues to guide Mayorga Coffee and more broadly Mayorga Organics- "To eliminate systemic poverty in Latin America through responsible trade of artisanal organic foods." Here are just some of the things we cover: Martin's entry into the coffee industry Pivotal moments in Martins diverse upbringing that shapes his world view Values and vision for addressing the gap between consumer and farmer Why we need scale to make impact Being patient and steady in your goals in spite of naysayers Giving regular coffee farmers options Competition and collaboration vs domination Considering the impact of investors on the long-term efficacy of a business What to do now to make a difference in the future Links: www.mayorgacoffee.com @mayorgacoffee on Instagram YouTube Video on Mayorga Coffee Related episodes: Sustainability Series #1 : The Farm 294 : At Origin Roasting Revolution w/ Luis Fernando, founder of Amor Perfecto! 265 : Gaining Clarity on Transparency w/ Jonas Lorenz of The Pledge 060 : Serving the Coffee Plant w/ Hanna Neuschwander, World Coffee Research COVID-19 Focus: Perspective form Burundi w/ Jeanine Niyonzima-Aroian, JNP Coffee 335: A Better Business Model for Coffee Farmers w/ Thaleon Tremain of Pachamama Coffee 447: Understanding the Business of Coffee w/ Maxwell Colonna-Dashwood Hire Keys to the Shop Consulting to work with you 1:1 to transform your coffee shop operations, quality, and people.

We are obsessed with innovation that tends to solve problems that are increasingly inconsequential to the customer. A race to put coffee in virtually any context all in the name of convenience may bring coffee to more people, but what does it do to the value of the coffee when we remove virtually all customer generated investment into the process. Today on Shift Break we will be talking about why a bit of inconvenience is ok and, in fact, may be a needed thing to allow the customer the buy in, personal investment, ritual, and connection with the product we are, in my opinion, rushing to devalue through wasteful mindless mass consumption. In my consulting work through KTTS Consulting, management and leadership structures are one of the main conversations we have. Working to create clarity, understanding, and systems for success in leadership has a compound effect on the rest of the business.

Not only do you have to lesson plan, do random administrative tasks, email parents and students, keep up to date on grading, but you have to manage behavior and actually teach. If you're like most teachers, that means you are constantly piled with more and more to do. It can be really overwhelming.A lot of days you probably don't have the energy to get it all done. So you leave it all for the next day, starting your day in a tizzy of stress. This means you start the day feeling behind. But what if you had your own personal assistant to make your decision making processes, emails, and lesson plans streamlined within a matter of seconds?In this episode, we're going to dive deeper into some of the reservations that teachers have about utilizing Artificial Intelligence like ChatGPT, how to get good responses from your prompting of Chat GPT, and my favorite ways to utilize it to reduce teacher burnout, job creep, and decision fatigue. This tool can revolutionize the way we teach, learn, and get stuff done!HEAD OVER TO THE SHOW NOTES: teachingmindbodyandsoul.com/episode46
The future is now in part six of unPaCKed's six-part sustainability sit-down with Packaging World editors Anne Marie Mohan and Matt Reynolds. Bioplastics reads like an oxymoron, but the revolutionary new materials from renewable resources versus petroleum are indeed here to stay. Mohan and Reynolds cover sustainability and packaging materials daily and examine how sugar cane, corn, and even wood chips now find their way into packaging materials in lieu of traditional plastics. Join us for more of this important conversation at the Packaging Recycling Summit, presented by Packaging World Nov. 6-8, 2023, at the Grand Hyatt Atlanta in Buckhead.

Packaging World editors Anne Marie Mohan and Matt Reynolds return to unPACKed for the fifth episode of its six-part sustainability sit-down, turning the spotlight on monolayer materials. All plastics and foils are not created equal, and the complexity that allows them to protect food or beverages, for instance, also makes recycling significantly harder. Mohan and Reynolds cover sustainability and packaging materials daily and discuss how monolayer materials could be one of the major keys to a more sustainable packaging supply chain.Join us for more of this important conversation at the Packaging Recycling Summit, presented by Packaging World Nov. 6-8, 2023, at the Grand Hyatt Atlanta in Buckhead.

If you spend hours writing your to-do list and constantly having more and more added to your plate as a teacher...then you more than likely could use some help from one of my favorite tools for reducing stress - (drum roll please) - AUTOMATION. I get a lot of questions from teachers about how to handle job creep, never having enough time, and always feeling a little behind...look, I don't know why no one is talking about it but automation pretty much changed my life. I use automated systems in my teaching career, personal life, and even at home (which sounds robotic but it's not!)I will tell anyone who listens to me that automation saved my sanity and gave me back the time I needed to spend on my students and living my life. Here's the thing, there are tons of automation tools out there but if you just plug and play random things without intention or purpose, it's just going to be another thing on your list of to-do's. That's why in this episode, we are going to talk about how being spread too thin can impact students and teachers alike, automation as a tool to fix this, and then the five simple ways you can incorporate automation in your classroom today.HEAD OVER TO THE SHOWNOTES: teachingmindbodyandsoul.com/episode45

If you put one hundred teachers in a room together and asked them what would make teaching a sustainable career, they would all give you different answers. However, those answers would all fit within three different areas: Support, Action, and Mindset, which are the Spheres to Sustainable Teaching. If you ask 100 teachers if teaching has ever made them sacrifice their personal life, 95% of them would say that it has. That's why we've got to start working smarter, not harder if we want to sustain this career long-term. A common misconception that many educators fall prey to is that in order to be an effective educator you have to work longer hours, take work home, and do EVERYTHING you can. It's easy to believe that the more time you put into your work, the better your outcomes will be. However, the truth is that working longer hours often leads to burnout and ultimately hinders your effectiveness as a teacher. In this episode, we will bust this myth and give you the keys to shifting your mindset in the second episode of The Sustainability Series.HEAD OVER TO THE SHOWNOTES: teachingmindbodyandsoul.com/episode42

Specialty coffee has its fair share of challenges across the supply chain. Solutions for those challenges are only as good as how they were created, namely, whether they were created collaboratively and with deference to those most impacted. In short, when we connect with each other in shared work toward common goals, we see progress. Today we will be talking with someone whose work in telling the important stories of coffee and producing events for connection is making a big impact. I am so pleased to welcome Henry Wilson to the show! Henry Wilson is the founder of the popular coffee news organization, Perfect Daily Grind as well as the founder of The Producer Roaster Forum. What started as a fascination for the stories of coffee, turned into a much larger enterprise which focuses on connection and bringing the best information and diverse perspectives to bear on the challenges that face our growing industry. In this conversation with Henry we talk about his road to establishing these platforms and especially focus on the importance of collaboration, connection, and relationship through the Producer Roaster Forum and what we can apply from its example in our own efforts to connect and create a better future.

Specialty coffee has been defined by a difference in quality and taste for a very long time. It is the central value that creates the markets that we currently operate in. The problem with this though is that taste as a value is, in the end, a subjective opinion. While quality, taste, and serving the desires of customer is always important, how we go about the practice of taste making will either include or exclude those most impacted by out judgments. How can we balance the need to serve and be effective in what we have not, while building a better way for the future? Well, to talk with us about these and many other questions regarding taste is Kosta Kalivoursis of ally Coffee. Kosta Kallivrousis is a Senior Account Manager with Ally Coffee and has been a fixture in specialty coffee for a very long time. He spend a great deal of his time researching coffee, community, and social movements and putting together some very thought provoking posts that challenge us to evolve into a better industry. One such article was recently featured in the latest issue of Standart Magazine called "Against Taste". In it Kosta explore the idea of taste as a value that dominates and competes with the well being of those who produce the coffee we enjoy. On this episode we will dive into this topic and tease out where we are, how we got here, and where we can go in the future if we move beyond the tyranny of taste. We discuss The epiphany of the problem Why market access is not enough Dethroning taste as supreme value Who decides value? Balance of input and market demand The International Coffee Agreement + Solutions from the past Well being as a value on par with quality Can we co create?

As the 2023 begins it is a great time to take inventory of our cafes and roasteries and really look at what we have done and where we can not only improve, but what needs to change.

We are at the beginning of our 10-part sustainable mini-course here on the podcast (hooray!). For the month of November, we'll be honing in on the important topic of sustainability. We'll be sharing conversations with industry professionals whose work focuses on sustainability practises and homeowners who are embracing passive design principles. We'll also be talking with an energy assessor about the 7-star energy rating changes coming up and what this means for the building industry. It's going to be a jam-packed month! So in this episode, I'm sharing a quick overview of what sustainable design is and how you can incorporate sustainability into your home in practical ways. I talk about the principles of passive design and how elements such as orientation, airflow, material choices, and water impact the sustainability of a home. From a builder's perspective, I also talk about reducing waste and designing the home in more efficient ways to reduce the carbon footprint. Most of the sustainability work we do is done at the planning stage of the build. So if you're looking to build or renovate, now is the time to start researching and planning how you can incorporate sustainable practices into your design. Sustainability is a HUGE topic and it's absolutely the way forward. By the end of this series, you'll have a great overview of what to look out for and be informed as to how you can incorporate these principles into your home.

The system works exactly the way it was designed to work...and it needs to be broken. This is the goal of a new model of coffee trade introduced by Andy and Nanelle Newbom through their company Torque Coffee. Andy and Nanelle Newbom are life long coffee professionals who have been foundational in helping establish the standards for transparency and excellence we know today. With their iconic roastery and retail company Barefoot Coffee they helped pioneer Direct Trade, Andy was a founding member of the Barista Guild, and they both have been work in roasting / importing companies since then where they are consistently pursuing equity and systemic change for an industry who's distribution of value is drastically lopsided. Recently they have launched a new model of trade based the idea of what they call "Proportional Pricing" with their company Torque Coffee. In this model they seek to give to break the system and replace it with a framework that pays the farmer a set percentage of the coffee's retail value upfront. It really is a great idea and in today's conversation we will get the inside scoop on how this came about, how it works, and what you can do to adopt this model in your roastery. We discuss: Iterating models to address the issues Leaching value from farmers Double standards The Torque model: Proportional Pricing Starting at the ceiling You don't have as many coffees as you think Building the system and relationships needed Taking the risk off the producer unintentional impacts on producer Play to pay sucks The practice of tracking all your costs Links: www.torquecoffee.com Instagram @torquecoffees Related episodes: Sustainability Series #2 : Importing & Roasting 335: A Better Business Model for Coffee Farmers w/ Thaleon Tremain of Pachamama Coffee 328 : Relationships and Resiliency w/ Xavier Alexander of Metric Coffee 294 : At Origin Roasting Revolution w/ Luis Fernando, founder of Amor Perfecto! 288 : The Truth behind Cheap Coffee w/ Karl Weinhold Visit our amazing Sponsors! www.groundcontrol.coffee www.pacficfoodservice.com www.coffeefest.com

How specialty coffee has evolved, understood, and enjoyed has changed greatly over the past 50 years. Today get to talk someone whose career has not developed in parallel with the coffee industry but has been instrumental in advancing some of the best aspects of it. I'm thrilled to have bene able to sit down with the great Kenneth Davids! Kenneth has been involved with coffee since the early 1970s and has published three books on coffee, including the influential Home Roasting: Romance and Revival, now in its second edition, and Coffee: A Guide to Buying, Brewing and Enjoying, which has sold nearly 250,000 copies in five editions. His latest book, 21st Century Coffee: A Guide, is an unprecedentedly thorough survey of specialty coffee in all of its aspects, authoritative yet engaging. Ken's workshops and seminars on coffee sourcing, evaluation and communication have been featured at professional coffee meetings on six continents. He is Professor Emeritus of Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts in San Francisco. In 1996 he was awarded a Special Achievement Award for Outstanding Contributions to Coffee Literature by the Specialty Coffee Association of America. One of our industries most influential people. Kenneth's work has shaped multiple generations of coffee enthusiasts and professionals and in this sense an hour conversation is woefully insufficient to give you even idea of the breadth and Kenneth's journey and work but here we are and I can honestly say it was true honor to speak with him and to feature his wisdom and perspectives on this show. We cover: Goals of his new book The new challenges of writing about coffee Honesty and authority of information How Kenneth went form cafe owner to coffee writer Mere communication vs delivering depth of understanding Consumer community and its evolution Starting Coffee review The gap of accessibility and need to building the middle What shapes consumer tastes today Incentivizing accessible excellence Using information to draw people in vs push away Communicating flavor How naturals chawed things The hope for coffee's future Links: Buy Kenneth's new book! https://www.kennethdavidscoffee.com Related episodes: Sustainability Series #4 : Consumer 069: Hosting Consumer Coffee Classes : 7 Guidelines 035 : The Consumer Revolution w/ Kevin Sinnott 242 : A Conversation with James Hoffmann Visit our amazing Sponsors! www.groundcontrol.coffee www.pacficfoodservice.com www.coffeefest.com
