10x Your Team with Cam & Otis

Coffee with Purpose: The Renew Coffee Story - Hannah Stuart | 10x Your Team Ep. #438

Episode 438

Ever had that moment where you knew you had to leap or you'd never do it? For Hannah Stuart, co-owner of Renew Coffee, that moment came after a farmer's market when she told her husband, "If we don't spend this money on an espresso machine, we're never going to do this."

In this conversation with Cam and Otis, Hannah shares the journey of building a mobile coffee business that now serves luxury events nationwide. From turning down a sketchy "I'm leaving town, need to flip this" coffee cart offer to figuring out they can serve 80 drinks per hour at high-end events, her story is full of practical insights about starting small and scaling with intention.

What makes this episode especially compelling is Hannah's perspective on purpose. "What we leave behind in this life is our business and our kids," she reflects, sharing how Renew Coffee became not just about serving great espresso but creating the best jobs for people who might be struggling with addiction or other challenges.

Whether you're thinking about starting a business, wondering how to infuse purpose into your work, or just curious about what goes into those fancy coffee setups at events, Hannah's blend of practical business sense and heartfelt mission offers something genuinely refreshing.
