Bee Southworth (she/her) is Coffee Partnerships and Training Manager for North Star Coffee Roasters in Leeds. With a coffee journey that spans 16 years, this conversation provides a real deep dive into the honest realities of working in the coffee industry - starting out as a barista and journeying to a variety of corners of the coffee industry.
Hilarious, honest and deeply personal, Bee's story is super inspiring. In this conversation, we cover the formative impact of working in hospitality in comparison to university experiences, the power of LinkedIn, social media and their relation to hiring practices in coffee, how the coffee industry can compromise a work-life balance and the realities of living and working with anxiety on a daily basis.
