WHERE TO FIND Cory ONLINE: Facebook Instagram Twitter Website Finding Your Home Online Course 31 Days of Mindfulness EPISODE SUMMARY: What drew me to Cory was his positive energy, which is why I wanted him on the show. He talks on how he became practicing mindfulness even in a world of chaos. Everyone can practice mindfulness and it can be different for everyone. You can do meditation, yoga, tai chi, and more, but where does someone even begin? As an expert in mindful meditation, Cory says it starts with some form of self-awareness. Ask yourself how you are doing emotionally, physically, spiritually, etc. For some, others can feel content with where they are, or it could be a huge wake up call to start making changes. Practicing mindfulness gives you the tools to use when you find yourself struggling with something. One of my wake up calls was when I realized that I wasn’t yelling at my kids because they were driving me crazy, it was because I wasn’t fully taking care of myself! Having that self-awareness has made a big difference in my own motherhood journey. Do you struggle with awareness and being present? Not only do I run multiple businesses, I’m also a mother and wife. It’s like living a rat race sometimes and at the end of the day, I forget about taking care of my needs because I’m just exhausted taking care of everyone else. But, no matter what, the universe is always telling us to slow down. Cory teaches us how to take the time to start listening to our body and taking care of ourselves. When you prioritize self care, it impacts everything else that’s important to us. “I think life is just a series of setting expectations for ourselves, failing in one way or another to meet those expectations, and having hope for what the next moment could look like.” - Cory Muscara Although some of us struggle with meditating for 1-5 minutes, Cory shares his experience meditating for 14 hours with monks in Asia for 6 months.

One of the things we really enjoyed about the podcast in 2017 was the “From the Field” segment, shared by Alejandro Martinez from Finca Argentina in El Salvador. Every time we’d have an event, we’d ask ourselves: is there a way to get Ale here as a speaker? Finally, the stars aligned and we were able to have Ale join us, in person, on stage in San Francisco. Here, Alejandro provides a personal insight into one of the issues raised in Hanna’s talk earlier that morning: coffee farming profitability. In sharing his own story, Ale calls attention to the challenges and opportunities to farmers working within the specialty model, offering some actionable advice to anyone looking to ensure the future of quality specialty coffee. -- Alejandro Martinez doesn’t have the usual “coffee producer” backstory: once a VP of Investment Banking in the Technology Mergers and Acquisitions Group of Bank of America Securities (now Bank of America Merrill Lynch), Alejandro began his career in specialty coffee in 2008 managing a 35 hectare farm originally acquired in 1967 by his grandfather, Luis Guillermo. Today, he manages a coffee estate of approximately 70 hectares, working remotely from Ahuachapan in El Salvador with the financial planning and analysis team of a cybersecurity tech company to keep the farms afloat as he builds initiatives to secure the future of the land and its workers. Alejandro holds an MBA from Tuck Business School at Dartmouth and a BS in Business Administration from Universidad Fidelitas in Costa Rica, but it doesn’t stop him from talking about the biodynamic gnomes.
