About this Event
Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a commitment to people, both locally and internationally. For our next networking session, the Authentic Collective is thrilled to spotlight a local business that embodies these values: Good Beans.
As many of you know, our group is about more than just business cards; it’s about empowering one another and fostering growth that matters. This month, we’re diving into the "Local-to-Global" journey: how a premium, ethically sourced product can drive real change for visible minority groups and women-led businesses while maintaining a competitive edge in our local market.
The Pioneering Spirit: The Good Beans Story
We won't just be talking about where they are now; we’re exploring the how. We’ll be joined by the team behind Good Beans to discuss their growth from a simple idea to a pioneering force in Calgary’s coffee scene.
At this event, we’ll dive into:
- Building International Bridges: The learning opportunities and hurdles of creating a direct-trade pipeline with women-led farms in Colombia.
- The Ethical Competitive Edge: How transparency and traceability allow a local brand to offer a superior, sustainably sourced product at a competitive price point.
- Scaling with Purpose: Lessons in maintaining a "small-batch" soul and personal relationships with farmers while growing an online presence and a local footprint.
Who should attend?
Whether you’re an established business owner, an aspiring entrepreneur curious about international sourcing, or someone passionate about community impact, this is for you.
Good Beans, Good People, Good Actions.
Let’s gather to share ideas, learn from a pioneering local story, and celebrate the dedication it takes to bring a truly great product to market.
Registration is free but space is limited. Please RSVP to help us finalize the location!
Maya and Rachael look forward to seeing you there!
