In this powerful episode, we welcome back Sarah Jorgenson, owner of Java Moose Coffee in Grand Marais, MN — a small-town coffee shop with a big voice. As global coffee prices soar and international tariffs rattle supply chains, Sarah shares how these market forces are directly impacting small businesses like hers — and what it means to be at the end of the supply chain during a historic moment of economic and political uncertainty.

From climate change to Canada–U.S. relations, from rising costs to shrinking margins, Sarah gives us a front-row seat to the challenges of staying in business — and staying true to your values. We explore how small business owners are adapting, why customer loyalty matters more than ever, and how speaking up for marginalized communities isn’t just personal, it’s powerful leadership.

If you're a coffee lover, small business owner, or someone who believes in leading with courage and conviction — this episode is for you.

Topics We Cover:
  • How climate change is disrupting global coffee supply

  • The impact of tariffs and rising costs on small cafés

  • Running a business at the Canada–U.S. border during political tension

  • Consumer loyalty vs. big brands

  • Speaking out on social issues while running a business

  • Leading a values-driven team through uncertain times
