In this expansive and thought-provoking discussion, we sit down with Matt Fisher, the founder of Trinity Street Coffee, Voltage Coffee, West Oak Coffee in Denton, and Kimzey’s in Argyle. What begins as a journey through Matt’s evolution from firefighter to coffee entrepreneur quickly turns into something much deeper—a reflection on business, philosophy, and the interconnected worlds of coffee, whiskey, and human experience.
We start with the origins of Trinity Street Coffee—how it came to be, where it’s headed, and the challenges of shipping coffee across the world. From there, the conversation unfolds into the evolution of the Trinity Street Restaurant, the economic forces shaping coffee prices and tariffs, and even the science and soul of brewing the perfect cup.
But this isn’t just a coffee talk. Just when you think you've mapped the terrain of the discussion, we venture into whiskey’s unexpected role in shaping Matt’s vision for Trinity Street.
In one of the most unexpected turns, the conversation shifts to the Bible—not as dogma, but as a profoundly humanizing text that speaks to the struggles, contradictions, and beauty of being alive.
So pour yourself a strong cup, maybe a neat pour of whiskey, and settle in for a rich, winding conversation that blends business, travel, philosophy, and the pursuit of something real.
