Community, Culture, and Coffee: Developing Culture within the Business and Beyond

<p>This week, Scott and Vince are joined by special guest, Khea Pollard. Khea is the CEO of Café X: By Any Beans Necessary, a Black, mother-daughter-owned, cooperative coffee shop built to support generational wealth building in the Black community and other marginalized communities.</p> <p>Khea shares the origins of the coffee shop and her passion for building community. Further, her "cooperative coffee shop" business model, has provided the sustained opportunity to create a strong culture of belongingness within her team, for the shop business itself, and for the communities it serves.</p> <p>While being a CEO is challenging enough, if you add another day job on top of that and you’ve got Khea’s interesting and inspiring story. Through her job as a Director of Economic Mobility & Opportunity, she has helped several low-income groups in her community by providing them with resources and information regarding saving money.</p> <p>Khea’s story will share her experience and shed light on how you too can become an effective and empathetic leader—whether you are starting out on that journey at a young age, as in Khea's case, or adjusting your leadership style later in life.
