NOTEBOOK – ONE GOOD READ: Coffee sales and social impact go hand in hand for BLK & Bold

Today is National Coffee Day, so naturally there’s no better day to share a story from a couple of weeks ago about Des Moines’ BLK & Bold. But the company is about much more than coffee, as told in this story from Daily Coffee News. “Our goal was to cast as wide of a net as possible again so we can have greater impact in that social impact mission,” co-founder Rod Johnson told Daily Coffee News. “We are ultimately driven by how we can exist as a resource. … It wasn’t that the world needed another coffee company, it was that the world needs more businesses that care about their community.” Co-founder Pernell Cezar Jr. is set to speak at our free virtual 90 Ideas in 90 Minutes event starting at 4 p.m. on Thursday (there’s still time to sign up).
