Brock Lewin is the found of very successful Coffee Roasting Business Badger &amp; Dodo. Since his first shot of coffee in 1993, he’s been involved one or another in this business. He set up Badger &amp; Dodo in July 2008 in his in-law’s farm in Fermoy, Co. Cork and since then he’s been building up the business and brand across Ireland and beyond. I’ve been very interested in the coffee explosion in Ireland over the last few years so was really looking forward to chatting with Brock about his learnings and experience in this world and having the chance to deep dive into Coffee, Business, Entrepreneurship, lessons learned, and lots more that might make for interesting listening.
