People were actually banned from drinking coffee… not because of the drink—but because of what happened when people gathered.

In this episode, we break down the real story of coffee bans in history and why conversation itself became dangerous. What started as a simple drink turned into something far more powerful: ideas, influence, and real connection.

We also sit down with Cam, founder of Backbone Coffee, to talk about why coffee still sits at the center of real life—hard work, everyday conversations, and the moments that actually matter.

If you’ve ever had your best conversations around a cup of coffee… this one’s for you.
