Filter Stories - Coffee Documentaries
A podcast revealing the extraordinary stories hidden in your cup of coffee
Be careful what you dream (it may come true)
You’ve just achieved a life goal. Now what? Dream bigger? Quit while you’re ahead?
When Federico Bolaños fulfills his dream of helping a young Salvadoran win one of the hardest championships in coffee, he wants to aim higher.
But his business partners tell him he risks losing their business.
What Federico does next will change his life and El Salvador in ways he wants, and in ways he doesn’t.
At the end of it all, I ask him: did you make the right choice?
