La Colombe Coffee Roasters: Todd Carmichael and J.P. Iberti. A Brotherhood Built on Coffee (2020)

Uh Hey everyone and happy new year. So this week we're running one of our favorite episodes. It's the story of La Colombe coffee, and this episode is special because you'll hear a bit of an HIBT crossover. When the company's investors wanted to take the brand in a different direction, Lakalom was saved by Hamdi Ulekia of Chabani, who was also a past guest on the show. We first aired this episode back in 2020, and since then, the story has kept evolving. Chabani has gone on to acquire Lakalom outright. And today you can find their coffee, cold brew, and canned lattes in grocery stores all over the country. Anyway, it's a great episode, and I hope you enjoy it. We started the old investor

Discussions. And we landed on one. We did the deal. And that lasted fifty-two days. to the first board meeting I said, Okay

I believe that coal brew is going to be a thing and Lockalom needs to be the Father of it. And they said Nah. We don't want to do that.

We already have this episode, so unlocking it is cheap and permanent: the full transcript, segment and word-level timestamps, and .txt, .srt, .vtt and word-level JSON downloads, as many times as you like, forever.

10 free credits is 10 episodes like this one a month. Episodes nobody has transcribed yet cost their length in hours, because we have to actually transcribe them.
