Juan Du Toit reposted thisJuan Du Toit reposted thisCoffee authority isn’t claimed. It’s earned. One assumption I've been challenging lately is this: Has coffee become too good at talking about itself? Our industry speaks a lot about craftsmanship, sustainability, expertise and quality. But authority isn't what we say about ourselves. - It's what survives scrutiny. - It's what can be measured. - It's what consumers experience every single day. Because the truth is, coffee doesn't care about opinions. - The cup tells the truth - The farmers reality tells the truth. - The data tells the truth. As we celebrate International Coffee Day, I think the question isn't whether the coffee industry needs more stories. It's whether the industry needs more proof.

Juan Du Toit reposted thisJuan Du Toit reposted thisThe Den is a bit quiet this week! The series finished on Friday, and while the Dragons and entrepreneurs quite rightly get most of the attention usually, I thought I'd give a nod to some of the equally important people viewers never see that make Dragons' Den happen. The team who spend months casting brilliant businesses and looking after entrepreneurs through what is usually, let's be honest, a fairly nerve wracking experience! The production management team, who somehow keep the whole show on the road, despite the best efforts of the rest of us! The edit gang who transform an enormous pile of footage into compelling tele. And the crew. Because for every Dragon in the spotlight, there's always someone crouching behind a camera, adjusting a light, checking a microphone, or solving a problem no-one will ever know existed! Thanks to everyone behind the scenes who played their part in another fantastic series. And, as ever, to Peter Jones CBE, Deborah Meaden, Touker Suleyman, Steven Bartlett, Gary Neville, Jenna Meek, Susie Ma & Tinie Tempah. Brilliant Dragons and an absolute pleasure to work with. 🐉 #DragonsDen #Entrepreneurship #Teamwork

Juan Du Toit reposted thisJuan Du Toit reposted this"What is your purpose?" Is a scary question, right? It can feel very daunting, intimidating almost. Which is why most of us (my younger self included), choose not to confront it, to tuck it away in the top draw. It is also why at Wildest Dream we like to talk about living a more "purposeful" life, as opposed to necessarily "finding your purpose." Because you can begin to live with more purpose, before having found what your defined purpose might be. And, the beauty irony is, when we let go of trying to "find" our purpose and instead identify a direction we want to head in, then begin to take small steps to live with more purpose - eventually we arrive at our purpose. Identifying the direction and beginning to take those small steps, is exactly what Jack Wolstencroft and I helped our community members do at our latest community event in London last week. Big thank you again to everyone who came along - it is you who make these events and our community so special! 🙌

Juan Du Toit reposted thisJuan Du Toit reposted thisLET ME REINTRODUCE MYSELF For the past 15 years, I have chased big, frightening goals across countries, continents and oceans. Some ended in world records. Others ended in failure, injury or a long journey home with more questions than answers. I became the first person to complete the Grand Slam of Endurance, but the thing I’m most proud of is not a single record. It is that I am still here. Fifteen years is a long time to keep asking your body and mind to go further. A long time to live with uncertainty, to begin again after failure and to keep believing when the finish line is nowhere in sight. Sustaining that level of performance has taught me more than any one expedition ever could. I have learnt that courage does not always feel brave. Sometimes it is simply getting up the next morning and continuing. I have learnt that motivation disappears, plans fall apart and even the strongest people doubt themselves. The difference is learning how to move forward anyway. Those are the lessons I now want to share with people and teams who have set themselves big, scary goals but feel stuck somewhere between the excitement of beginning and the reality of finishing. So, let me reintroduce myself. I’m Sean Conway: endurance adventurer, world-record holder and speaker. I have spent 15 years learning how to keep going, and I’m looking forward to sharing what the journey has taught me.

Juan Du Toit reposted thisJuan Du Toit reposted thisLeaving a grey-skied, windy Liverpool, I’m wondering what to make of this Labour Party Conference. The posters around the conference centre were unequivocal: ‘Hope Again’ was shouting from every screen and billboard. The mood music from the stage was certainly more positive too. Whatever your politics, it’s a cold heart that wasn’t stirred by Andy Burnham’s very personal speech, setting out significant changes intended to bring hope back. Working in the real estate sector, there were reasons to believe. Support for first-time buyers, a major programme of council housing construction, faster connections to the grid for businesses, fiscal devolution giving real power to city regions and enabling them to have a genuine stake in their own destiny. Although there’s more to do, these messages were well received in the rooms I found myself in. So too was the focus on social care. Most people I spoke to seemed to have at least one elderly friend or relative stuck in the care trap. There was broad support for tackling the issue, even if questions remain about how it will all be paid for. The best part of conference for me, were the collaborative conversations between industry and policy makers about how to make the most of opportunities for UK in a cash-constrained world. How can London’s major station regeneration projects learn from one another, and from successful examples overseas, to move faster and deliver better? How can HS2 and our major infrastructure projects connect innovation across the country to rival Silicon Valley or Kendal Square? How can industry and the public sector rise to the housing challenges we face across the country? What can we learn from each other? Many questions, many potential answers, and a shared commitment between the public and private sectors to find the right ones. Which brings me back to those posters. I wonder whether they are better seen as a choice rather than an instruction. Are we ready to hope again? Years working in and around investment teams has taught me that sentiment matters almost as much as the fundamentals. And so the answer, for me anyway, is yes, I think I am.

Juan Du Toit reacted on thisJuan Du Toit reacted on thisIt is Paris Fashion Week. I just stopped by Copains to taste our coffee creations. My favorite is the Choup'Latte, and it is the perfect pick-me-up before our big event tonight. Why I love this for Paris Fashion Week is how it makes the brand experiential beyond fashion. You can actually taste the universe. Coffee is a daily ritual that turns aspiration into an everyday habit. In case you are not in Paris this week, come visit our Café in Amsterdam, which is open all year round. It is an open invitation. Anyone can walk in, grab a cup, and carry a piece of the universe with them. Now heading into tonight with great energy and an iced latte in hand.

A gyros in Guy’s Courtyard 🌯 Food markets pull people out of their routines and into the same queue: students, staff and neighbours from across London Bridge. No masterplan required. Lunch, it turns out, is a pretty effective community-building strategy. #campuslife #kcl #guyscampus #foodmarkets #london #placemaking
