The story of La Colombe Coffee Roasters: Todd Carmichael and J.P. Iberti (1 hour podcast)
When Todd Carmichael and J.P. Iberti met at a grunge concert in Seattle in the 1980s, they were an unlikely pair.

Today you can find its cold brew cans in tons of convenience stores across the U.S. And the company is now valued at around a billion dollars, but to get there was a long slow grind. J.P. Iberti was born in southern France where his dad ran a business supplying fresh meat and produce to restaurants, but Todd grew up literally and figuratively half a world away in Eastern Washington State, where a lot of times his mom struggled to put food on the table.
