Episode 48: Grassroots Coffee and Having Fun Along The Way with Spencer Young

Episode 48: Grassroots Coffee and Having Fun Along The Way with Spencer Young

I sat down with Ben and Spencer Young over the Thanksgiving Weekend in Thomasville, GA. The last time we talked in podcast form was in 2015 back in the 1.0 version of this podcast, The 365. 

Ben sticks around for the beginning of the episode and talks about the working on the recent movie productions in Thomasville, Sturdy Brothers, and working on old cars. 

You can follow Ben on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/benjaminyoung_/

You can check out Sturdy Brothers (great place to get gifts): https://www.sturdybrothers.com/

Then, I talk to Spencer about the 10th anniversary of Grassroots Coffee, a coffee shop that holds a special place in my heart. He also talks about his other entrepreneurial ventures like Bueller and Frye and more! He also talks about his recent trip to Columbia, the business of coffee, and how Grassroots came to be! 

I took some photos and some double exposures of Spencer at their roasting operation as well, and you can check those out on the blog: www.willmalone.com/blog/2019/12/5/out-of-focus-episode-48-grassroots-coffee-and-having-fun-along-the-way-with-spencer-young
