One Man's Journey in the Coffee Industry and Life

Ok, hold on a minute be patient, please! It was just pointed out by a good friend, Loraine, that my blog is causing her fits! There are posts that are empty and you click on the subscribe with atom icon at the bottom of the page, doesn't work! Thank you so much Loraine for making me aware of this, and you are so right that people will say, oh forget about this it is too much work. I agree.
So I am not going to blog again, until I can completely straighten this thing out. Like I told everyone when I started, I was a newbie, but actually it is turning out I am even below that call me a nobie, I guess and yes I realize I am now making up words that don't belong in the English language. Sorry.
Anyway, that is all I have to say tonight, other than, I spent some really special time with people I should have been spending really special time a long long time ago. I will eventually, get to the details, but people should think more about their actions, and should follow their feelings a whole lot more, than what I have done over the last, oh I would say lifetime, but that be right can it? Anyway, I am going to try and figure this out and then, I honestly hope, you will hang in there and read my blog. It is all true and when I actually write this, I immediately think, really? Then, I read it again, don't correct my spelling mistakes, again sorry Loraine, but I promise all of you one thing. I promise you will laugh, you will cry, you will learn something, and it is a riveting story about life and even the future. I will write "EPIC SHIT" as one person said! I know deep down, this story needs to be told, and I hope and pray, you will have the patience to keep following. Thanks for even sticking with this. Joe

The Coffee Roasting Process and Its Effects On The Products You Drink!

By Joe Leary/Principal/Lead Source Digital Marketer's & KYC Consulting on LinkedIn Today I would like to explain just how much the roasting process effects the coffee we consume on a daily basis. I sincerely hope you find this article enjoyable, interesting and informative. I am going to attempt to explain the 4 major roasting processes and what it does and doesn't do to the world's second most popularly traded commodity. Before I get started, there is something you need to know about coffee. When coffee is roasted it goes through a process, within that process the beans are altered by temperature and generally gas, LNG, electricity and even wood. During this process the beans reach levels within that process that makes the beans, "crack". Depending on how light or dark they are being roasting they "crack either once or twice. This alters the flavor profile tremendously, so please keep that in mind while reading this article. I have included some...

How To Successfully Run A Commodity Based Business#commoditybusiness#freebusinessadvice

How To Successfully Run A Commodity Based Business I have over 26 years of experience in a commodity based business. As a matter of fact, it wasn't just commodities, it was the number 2 traded commodity on the planet, coffee. Although I will be referring to coffee in this article, this information will translate into any commodity based business. One thing I do want to point out, that perhaps many haven't considered. Almost every business, if not every single business is affected in some way by commodities. Whether it is a meat packer buying boxes(by the way beef is a commodity), or a bakery packaging mini muffins in portion controlled lots. Yes, board to make boxes is a commodity, and many of the packaging materials a manufacturing facility uses is petroleum based. I could go on and on, but I just wanted to point out that understanding commodities and how to manage and minimize your exposure to wild price swings is an extremely important skill. So I'd lik...
