Kent, Lauren, and Steven talk to Melanie McWhorter about launching Edison Coffee Co. ten years ago with her husband, J. We explore how Mel and J were both formed by their parents’ hospitality, the power a teacher can have with a few words of encouragement, the influence of servant leadership from a mentor in college, the dream to create a local space for coffee, ideas, and people to converge, learning through failure, major ups and downs in the Edison journey, how the Night Is Normal and much more.
