Join us this Friday as we welcome the CEO & Co-Founder of , Kenzel Fallen, as the next guest on the Good Folks, Doing Good Work interview series.⁠

Kenzel’s career has been focused on directing programs and teams across enterprise, operations and credit risk functions, spanning industries from banking to energy. In addition to her super powers in risk and risk management, she and her husband started the first and only solar-powered roastery in Houston, Texas. The name Three Keys, inspired by the three valves on a trumpet, is an ode to the influential jazz musicians that inspire Kenzel and her husband, Tio, who grew up playing the trumpet through college. They believe coffee is a multi-sensory experience and pair each coffee they release with a playlist directly correlated to the coffee. Due to their intentionality to connect music, coffee and design thoughtfully, they have won multiple awards for their packaging and their coffee.⁠

While Kenzel’s professional experience outside of coffee may seem quite distant from the specialty coffee industry, I wholeheartedly believe our industry needs analytical thinkers equipped with business acumen. It was Kenzel’s unique background that initially sparked a conversation over LinkedIn between her and I (Luke). After a few messages back and forth about businesses, work backgrounds and, of course, design, I knew I needed to invite Kenzel to be a guest.⁠

Would you join us in welcoming Kenzel Fallen of Three Keys Coffee as the next Good Folks guest this Friday at 12 noon CST for our IG Live interview?⁠

Join us this Friday as we welcome the Founder and Roaster of .coffee, Christina Chin, as the next guest on the Good Folks, Doing Good Work.⁠

Christina is an industry veteran who’s held roles such as Wholesale Account Manager, Head Roaster and for the last half-decade has been running their own roasting company. Their New York based operation has developed a sourcing program that is relationally driven with a focus on partnering with female coffee producers. This is such important and meaningful work, but there was something else that stuck out to me (Luke) about Christina and favor…and it’s their kindness. Perhaps it shouldn’t have surprised me that Christina is one of the kindest folks you’ll meet in coffee, because that’s the definition of the verb favor. It literally means to support, confirm or to do a kindness. This is true of Christina’s work and is what initially made me connect with them in the first place.⁠

Would you join us in welcoming Christina Chin as the next Good Folks guest this Friday at 12 noon CST for our IG Live interview?⁠

We have been ready for fall since labor day weekend 🫠The autumn solstice commences the new season and brings good energy all around. Retro Halloween films bring those fuzzy feelings of nostalgia, the leaves falling bring joy, and patio season is STILL here – just bundle a bit and go for a Guinness 🍻

This month’s moodboard pulls inspiration from some of our favorite designers, some bad ass seasonal drink photography, the moon, and just that general feeling of warmth.

As artists, we are constantly viewing the world around us through the lens of art. Everything either peaks are interests or makes us question how it could visually present differently. ⁠

Inspiration comes from that — the world around us. For us at The Lev Co, inspiration more specifically comes from music, books, film, food and good conversations. And sometimes Pinterest. ⁠

Our camera rolls serve as testimonies for feeling inspired by what we see and experience. The next time you come across something that strikes a chord with you, run with the feeling. You never know what you might create!⁠

Should you be speaking? ⁠

“If your lips are moving, you aren't listening and if you aren’t listening, you aren’t learning.” co-founder Luke Waite’s dad would often remind him as a kid–and he was right. ⁠

As your career progresses, a shift happens—people start looking to you for guidance. They want to hear how you overcame challenges and learn from your experiences. Eventually, almost every leader reaches a point where public speaking becomes essential. Brands (in any industry) also need a public figure, often the owner, to represent them.⁠

For those still in sales, speaking provides an opportunity for others to get to know you, learn from you, and potentially buy from you—though sales shouldn’t be your primary goal on stage. ⁠

So, should you be speaking? Read about it in this month's blog. Comment “BLOG” for the link.⁠

Like the Depeche Mode, we just can't get enough of these coffee brands 🤭⁠

: Chamberlain Coffee has “grown up” alongside its founder, Emma Chamberlain. What started as a solely e-commerce coffee business, with super cutesy design, is expanding to a larger demographic, focusing on RTD beverages in stores like Wholefoods & Target. In turn, their marketing approach has grown up. Their tone of voice has shifted with a more “elevated feel” to appeal to older audiences, that’s also evident in their recent product photos and collaboration with our friends at .co. This seamless, seemingly effortless transition is so well played. We love the strategy!⁠

: Common Folk masters the art of storytelling with vibrant, mixed media designs that bring their coffee and farmer stories to life. Through animation, illustration, and creative content, they consistently showcase their commitment to brand values. We might not be in Australia to catch the opening screening, but we're all in for their new documentary feature with , which captures the deep relationships they've built with producers in Uganda. Cheers y’all – keep doin’ what you’re doin’! (and we hope to visit Australia soon〰)⁠

: Flower Child Coffee aims to “exemplify the potential of coffee varietals from their respective regions” with a focus on “clean, vibrant and high scoring varieties.” Their coffee bag label designs feel like postcard notes written specifically for whomever purchases one of their bags. This type of design suggests an incredibly personal dialogue about the coffee that extends all the way from farmer to consumer. The various illustrations on each bag further emphasize the personal quality of the experience while also adding a level of curiosity and mystery to the coffee. Unique designs like these get us excited to explore and learn more about what Flower Child has to offer, and we're excited to try their coffee soon! ⁠

We’ve been thinking about… books.⁠

We’re in the process of designing a book (which we’ll share more about very soon!). In that process, we’ve turned to print design for inspiration. Here’s what we’ve gathered.⁠

You get one chance to capture the attention of someone with a book’s cover. We’re keeping that at the front of our minds in this process. ⁠
