Breaking Silos with Sofiah Jamil

I chat with Shaikh Fadilah Ahmad from Brunei who went from life with a diplomatic bag to coffee bags. Shaikh Fadilah served in Brunei's Ministry of Foreign Affairs for almost 30 years including a 5 year stint at the APEC Secretariat in Singapore and as Brunei Darussalam Ambassador to the Kingdome of Cambodia. Followi g his retirement, he pursued his passion for coffee, which he picked up during his overseas studies. He is currently the owner of Dil Coffee Trail Cafe, which serves artisan coffee and unique bakes. Hear what he has to say about breaking career and knowlwdge silos through coffee diplomacy!
