Put Me In Coach

This month, we’ve decided to blend a few of our favorite projects together, the Honey Moon Coffee Co. podcast, and The One coffee ritual for couples. We invited our friends Chandra and Austin Maxheimer to visit our new office space to share coffee and conversation. But in addition to recording a podcast together, we prompted them with some of the discussion prompts from The One coffee ritual, where they could reflect together on what it means for each of them to be HOME and AWAY.A short teaser of the podcast is available today, with a quick introduction from Jessica and Zac, and the full episode will release next week. 

Zac and Jessica reflect on the end of the second quarter, and the rhythms that they are looking forward to in the 3rd. Jessica claims to have the best hike ever, and Zac finally impresses Jessica with a taglline for the new Honey Moon Coffee Ritual.Also, as a bonus, we have the full conversation with Kelly Johnson from The Daily Grind Podcast.The Daily Grind Podcast interview on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54RLNGo4v6kThe Daily Grind Podcast website: https://www.kjfwi.org/the-daily-grind/

Back on the porch, Zac and Jessica reflect on the recent construction project expanding the Burkhardt location, as well as working a record-breaking shift at the West Side location on Mother's Day. 

Jessica finally has a plan to put Zac in a position to succeed. From maintenance man to head coach, Zac is ready for the new season of Honey Moon to begin. 

Zac and Jessica listen back to Zac's appearance on the How I Built This: Advice Line podcast and reflect on the experience. They also discuss the development of The One subscription box and the feedback they've received so far. Listen to the full episode of How I Built This with Guy Raz and Jack Conte here: https://wondery.com/shows/how-i-built-this/episode/10386-advice-line-with-jack-conte-of-patreon/

Producer Wes (don't call him Wesley!) sits down with Zac and Jessica to reflect on the end of the season and the calendar year, which included new faces, old faces, international trips, and a podcast interview with Guy Raz.

On a very special episode of the Honey Moon Coffee C. podcast, Zac and Jessica sit down on the patio of their hotel in Colombia during their first trip to a coffee farm on a full moon. Sam and Ethan worked at Honey Moon together as baristas before getting married, and they still work with us now in leadership capacities. Listen to the story of how they met, their first impressions of each other, how they finally decided to get married, and what they are looking forward to in the future.

On this episode of the Honey Moon Coffee Co. Podcast, Zac takes the lead interviewing Jessica on her connection between the business they’ve built and the home they’ve made. The podcast’s producer, Wes Luttrell, hops on with back half of the show to riff with Zac regarding his thoughts on this episode, connecting home and team, and how the couple sees competition in town. 

This recording of the Honey Moon Coffee Company Podcast finds Zac and Jessica overlooking a beautiful grape vineyard in conversation with Hubert Mussat and Katy Groves-Mussat, owners of Farmer and the Frenchman Winery in Henderson, Kentucky. Truly the Farmer and the Frenchman, hear Hubert and Katy’s tell of who they are (from the other’s point of view), why they started a winery in Henderson, and how they did so with the help and support of Katy’s family. This episode truly embodies what this podcast is all about: inspiring stories of partners in Love and Business. 

After five years, one pandemic, dozens of crew members, and thousands of customers, we needed to decide what to do about our lease at our second full location (on Burkhardt Road). Jessica and Zac walk through the pros and cons and the different doors that have opened and closed since then.
