Dawn Kennedy is an attorney, author, and podcaster. In 2020, her husband Mike received a roaster and some coffee beans for Christmas. After tasting his coffee, Dawn bet him he could sell it online.

Fast-forward to this year, Dawn and Mike have five employees and bring in six-figures of revenues annually.
