Conviction with Hector Carvajal

Welcome to a brand new episode of the ¿Quién Tú Eres? podcast, where we explore the conflict we often face between "professionalism" & being our authentic selves. The first episode (from years ago) was so good, we had to run it back with Hector Carvajal, who's founder of Don Carvajal Café. He's actually the first guest that has been featured twice on this podcast. Hector is an Afro-Latino entrepreneur on a mission to reimagine the specialty coffee market. He was born on a small farm in the Dominican Republic and returned there often while growing up in the Bronx, an experience that gave him a unique perspective on the coffee supply chain. After pursuing his education at CUNY-Guttman and the University of Rochester, Hector has returned to the Bronx to build a coffee business model that is both fair to producers and inclusive to consumers. In just two years, he’s taken the brand from operating out of a dorm room to a city-wide distribution network that roasts 500 pounds of beans each week.
