EP19: 1:1 Career Conversation with Scott Russell - Founder and CEO Paddy & Scott’s Coffee - a podcast by Chris Robinson

This week we chat to Scott Russell from Paddy and Scotts Coffee.

Paddy and Scotts is a really unique brand, It all started with a genuine love of great-tasting coffee between two friends. Paddy and Scott teamed up and decided to have a go at blending and slow roasting their own coffee in Scott’s garage. The coffee they produced on a second-hand coffee roaster, aptly named ‘Old Smokey’ soon grew in popularity Paddy and Scott’s delicious slow-roasted coffee is now available to quite a few more people

It is still made in the same slow and exacting way. This week we chat about:

• Life owning a coffee business


• Switching from the telecoms industry to coffee


• Owning a coffee farm and the pitfalls of trying to buy one


• Branding


• Taking on the big boys of the coffee industry 


• What makes a great cup of fuel and how Paddy and Scotts started
