Quentin Vennie - Human Pace

Quentin Vennie is the kind of human who turns a simple cup of matcha into a sacred act. In this deeply moving conversation, Quinten shares the long, winding road that led him from trauma, addiction, loss, and self-erasure to radical authenticity, purpose, and love. We explore the heart behind Equitea, the matcha studio that has quietly become one of Baltimore's most magnetic community spaces, and the philosophy that fuels it: human pace, intention, and nourishment far beyond transaction. From fatherhood and marriage to men's work, grief, faith, and the courage to remove the mask, Quinten reflects on what it means to build something Larger than yourself without losing your soul. This episode is about slowing down, choosing purpose over fear, and remembering that when work is rooted in love, people don't just show up. They belong.
