Marinus Jansen - Founder of Padre coffee
In 2007, a small coffee shop opened across the street from where I was living at the time. Fast forward twelve years and that small coffee shop has become one of the most respected and successful Specialty coffee roasters in Australia. This month I talk with Padre Coffee’s founder Marinus Jansen.
Episode 4 - Marinus Jansen
In 2007, a small coffee shop opened across the street from where I was living at the time. Fast forward twelve years and that small coffee shop has three retail cafes and a huge wholesale business, primarily due to the very particular way their coffee is produced, prepared and presented for the customer.
Padre coffee has become one of the most respected and successful Specialty coffee roasters in Australia, and in this episode of The Messy Middle, we talk to Padre’s founder Marinus Jansen.
Apart from his obvious obsession about coffee, Marinus also knows a thing or two about building a successful business. In this insightful conversation we talk about his positive obsession with quality, why intention breeds more intelligent employees than instruction, and how to balance relevance and growth in a competitive industry without just following the herd, hype or latest fads.
Packed with wisdom about how to find your voice, follow your own path and forge a reasonable reputation, this conversation is well worth a listen.
