Always "Pays More" To Do What You Love
Advertisement
In 2009, he quit his job selling mortgage loans, working in a windowless cubicle 11 hours a day and took off with his 3 cousins through the jungles of Panama. They were looking to reconnect with something...some kind of dream, some kind of meaningful path, a new life. But they didn't know exactly what. They went all through South America on a trek lasting 9 months.
They discovered cooperative coffee farming, on a sustainable family farm in Boquete, Mexico. It was ecological paradise.
They realized this was the business model that really made their hearts pound: bringing back the coffee from this unique community to the States. They brought back beans that they roasted themselves, and delivered them on bicycles throughout San Francisco.
Today, Bicycle Coffee delivers their fresh roasted beans to more than 250 businesses in the Bay Area. Most of all, Brad Butlers message is that no matter what your earnings are, it always pays more to do what you love!
